Cover for EKTORP Two-seat sofa bed
Houston Grey Blended Viscose designed by Nevotex
About the product
Cover for IKEA EKTORP two-seat sofa bed - Houston Grey. Neutrals (black, grey, white, and brown) are basic to the decorator's tool kit. All-neutral schemes fall in and out of fashion, but their virtue lies in their flexibility: add color to liven things up; subtract it to calm things down. Neutral colours such as grey will blend with any décor, complement a more prominent color, and are easy to use.
Please note this custom cover is tailored by CoverCouch to fit the IKEA EKTORP two-seat sofa bed model. It does not fit the IKEA EKTORP two-seat sofa model. Sofa is not included and is available at IKEA.

I got fabric samples from 3 different companies. The material was way better here, and their sample arrived promptly. My only pain point was getting a coupon for 20% AFTER the purchase
Really pleased! 3 seat karlstad--Sahara greenish blue.

I've ordered replacement covers before, but from other- perhaps more high profile- online stores, so I was a little apprehensive about ordering from CoverCouch, which I found via an Internet search. However, I'm really glad I did. I initially ordered samples, which arrived quickly and I was impressed with the wide range of fabrics and colours. The actual sofa cover itself is really good quality and very well made. It is, as other reviews have noted, on the tight side around the sofa arms, but it was easy enough to recover and I wouldn't consider this an issue. I would not hesitate to recommend, and would definitely order again.

The craftsmanship is great, it fits like a glove. I feel like I got a whole new couch for the fraction of a price! It is definitely helpful to get a fabric sample first - especially the velvet because they can reflect more light and appear lighter.

I could not be happier with my cover. The color and craftsmanship are both superb. I was happy with the shipping and will definitely be buying more covers in the future. I am a long time IKEA furniture buyer but this is my first experience with non- IKEA slipcovers. The price and selection are just wonderful. Couldn't be happier.

Eddy Curry's predicament is clear: If he loses at least 40 more pounds during the lockout, then the Heat likely will have renewed and genuine interest because Pat Riley remains highly intrigued by the 7-foot center. The question is whether he has the discipline to achieve that mighty challenge.Yeah good luck counting on that Miami. Pat, you do know this guy has a heart condition right? If he dies working out at the young age of 28 that's all on you Mr. Riley. Just let the man live off his millions until he dies at a more reasonable age of 40 due to some complication of obesity.
One could laugh at Miami's pathetic center situation, but then we must remember that once the perpetually injured Jermaine O'Neal goes down sometime in the preseason, the Celtics might be looking at bums like Curry to start for us as well.

Dual-Screen Tablets: the Next Hot Form-Factor?
As new technologies arrive, and the cost of hardware components fall, innovative designs become possible Here's one that looks promising: a dual-screen Android tablet.
The two screens of the enTourage eDGe interact so that users can open hyperlinks that are included in an e-book text and view the content on the LCD screen, or 'attach' Web pages to passages in an e-book to be referenced at a later point. Additionally, as the enTourage eDGe uses E-Ink technology for easy digital reading, images will appear in gray-scale on the e-paper side of the device; however, users can load these in color on the LCD side, ideal for viewing colored charts and graphs from course materials.
Is this really useful, or am I just easily impressed by shiny?

Let's End Uncertainty
"Uncertainty" is beginning to sound like an excuse.
The polls had barely closed before a New York Times columnist sent out an analysis piece starting with the sentence, "Here comes more uncertainty."
We understand his premise. But here's our question: exactly how much longer are we going to be uncertain? We have been uncertain – and thus in a constant state of gridlock – for (pick your number,) two, three, four years now? It's beginning to sound like an excuse.
What are we uncertain about? Health care? The Affordable Care Act is the law of the land. It works. People voted for it. They like it. Smart lawmakers will work to reign in costs. Taxes? The economy is improving; invest, make more money. Force lawmakers to stop their posturing by ignoring them. Uncertainty comes from believing a dysfunctional, ineffective Congress that deserves our skepticism and nothing more. We're uncertain because we choose to be. And we can choose otherwise.

It seems big companies can't catch a break. A recent Harris poll suggests that consumers don't trust a lot of big businesses and less than 20% of people trust companies in the banking, pharmaceutical and health insurance industries. The movement to buy local is arguably one factor, but large corporations and their actions may have brought about some negative attitudes. Listed below are just a few issues that some consumers hold against big businesses:
Poor Net Job Creators
In terms of numbers, the vast majority of businesses in the United States are considered small businesses, with fewer than 500 employees and annual revenues less than $5 million. These small businesses employ approximately 67% of the total private sector workforce and create almost all new jobs. The underlying driver of these statistics is not so much the size of the company, but the newness of it. New, growing companies (which tend to be small at first) hire more employees over time as they grow. Large, established companies are in the business of making money for their shareholders. Most are focused on making more profits more efficiently. A common way to accomplish that is downsizing and increasing prices - two practices generally unpopular with consumers.
The Power to Affect Legislation
Large companies have deep pockets. Frequently, that means that they can have full-time lobbyists on the payroll making sure that any pending legislation is favorable to their industry and their company. Large corporations can have a huge impact on the law and on elected government officials who rely on their money at election time. Sometimes, corporations can even enter government agencies. An example of this is the Food and Drug Administration's second-in-command, Michael Taylor, a former Monsanto executive. This kind of coziness between big business and the government makes people mistrustful.
Crushing Small Businesses
In industries where economy of scale makes a huge difference in profit margins, big businesses can, and do, squeeze smaller ones out of the market. This can happen through predatory pricing strategies, exclusive distributorship arrangements and even through lobbying local and state governments to increase the barriers to entry in the industry. Big businesses are the Goliath to the small business David. In the U.S. business world, David rarely wins.
Taking Profits out of the Economy
A corporation's main goal is to provide a profit to its shareholders. In a small company's growth cycle, profits are often plowed back into company coffers to fund expansion, but a large, mature company siphons profits off to pay dividends to shareholders. Most shareholders retain those dividends in investment portfolios rather than spend them, so they don't have a stimulative effect on the economy. Local communities often do not benefit from having large corporations operate in their area, especially when top management is helicoptered in from elsewhere. Consumer sentiment can turn especially negative when large corporations receive government grants and loans to prop up operations.
The Bottom Line
Large corporations have a reputation for being untrustworthy and a drag on the economy. Some of this reputation has been earned fair and square; however, many big companies try to soften their image to appear more local and community-oriented, but jaded consumers are difficult to convince.

Sister of teen murder suspect granted bond
19-year-old accused of disposing of gun used in baby's killing
BRUNSWICK, Ga. – The sister of a 17-year-old accused of killing a toddler in Brunswick last month was granted bond Wednesday.
Sabrina Elkins, 19, took the stand at a hearing and a judge set bond at $25,000. If she posts bond, she would be placed on house arrest and have a GPS monitor.
Elkins, who's charged with tampering with evidence, will not be eligible for release until Thursday. Investigators said she, along with her mother, helped dispose of the gun used the kill the child.
"I volunteered at Southeast Georgia Health Systems and I worked at Aeropostale," Elkins said at Wednesday's hearing.
Her relatives also stuck up for her. Mary Elkins, Sabrina's aunt, said she raised the teen and would let her live at her home and keep close watch.
"I've never been in trouble with the law, and I wouldn't get in trouble just to try to cover her, no," Mary Elkins said.
"She'll have to stay under house arrest, she'll have to comply with all the conditions that the judge orders for her, which includes no contact with any of the witnesses," probation Officer Brandon Hamilton said. "If she leaves her house, it'll alert us and we would take action, like a probation revocation."
Sabrina's attorney says the judge made the right choice, and if she makes bond, his client will cooperate fully and always show up to court.
"She has no prior criminal history, she's a life-long resident here of Glynn County, and I just felt like she'd be a good candidate to be released on bond," attorney W. Frank Aspinwall said.
De'Marquise Elkins (pictured above on right), Sabrina's brother, is charged with malice murder and other counts in the March 21 slaying of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago (pictured, below). Authorities say he shot the child in his stroller and wounded the baby's mother just a few blocks from their apartment in Brunswick.
Prosecutors have also charged 15-year-old Dominique Lang with murder in the case. Court records identify him as an accomplice to the slaying.
Police found a gun they believe is the murder weapon in a saltwater pond days after the killing.
Last week, Glynn County Superior Court Judge Stephen Kelley denied a request for bond for De'Marquise Elkins after about an hour and a half of testimony.
De'Marquise Elkins is due back in court May 24, when the judge will consider setting a trial date.
Elkins' mother, Karimah Elkins, and aunt, Katrina Elkins, remain in jail.

Welcome to The Micro RC Resource Center
Choosing the best micro or mini remote control car...
When people ask me which car is best, there really isn't a good answer because each micro remote controlled car has its own strengths and weaknesses.
With that said, I'm going to describe the cars in my radio control car collection and point out the stengths and weaknesses so you can decide which one is best for you.
Hobbico MicroSizers (1:64 Scale - Approx 2" in Length)
Also known as Tomy Bit Char-G in Japan.
Strengths: Inexpensive, Durable, Lots of Mods, Small Size
Weaknesses: Limited Range, Short Driving Time, No Proporational Steering or Speed, Only 4 Available Frequencies
I think I'll always have a soft spot for the Tomy Bit Char-G remote control car. There's something about the MicroSizers cars that are just fun. The compact size (about 2") allows you to set up races in a very small area such as your kitchen floor. Its simplicity is also part of its charm. The car and controller can fit in the palm of your hand and with just a couple AA batteries and a smooth surface, you're ready to go.
Although the Tomy Bit CharG cars don't have proportional steering or speed, I've always been happy with how the Bit Char-G cars handle. I wish the Bit Char-G cars would drive for longer than 4 minutes, but that's still enough time for a good race. The standard controllers aren't as sophisticated as the ones for the DigiQ or Epoch Indoor Racer, but they're adequete. The special "booster" controllers that can be purchased separtely aren't that much more sophisticated and the range is even worse than the regular controller. However, they do have a "booster" button that allows you to drive at a faster speed along with a switch that allows you to drive any of the four available frequencies from the same controller. Anyone that has fun with a Hobbico MicroSizer, will want to look into the faster motors that can be purchased (available motors: 1.0, 2.0, 2.2, 2.6, 3.0 and 3.8).
Radio Shack also sells a version of this car called a ZipZap. You can read more about Zip Zaps at the forum.
MysticKnight's Buying Advice:
Everyone should own at least one Bit Char-G remote control car (MicroSizer) with a 2.2 motor or higher. For around $30, you can't go wrong. If you enjoy using the car and decide to buy others, the special controller is worth looking into especially if you're going to be racing other people.
Epoch Indoor Racers (1:43 Scale - Approx 4" in Length)
Strengths: Proportional Steering and Speed, Realistic Body Designs
The Epoch Indoor Racer is a bit larger (about 4") than most other micro remote controlled cars. The speed and responsiveness of this car makes it very fun to drivefor racers that don't mind paying a little more for a micro remote controlled car.
At the moment there two types of Epoch Indoor Racers, the spec 1 and the spec 2. The controllers for both are exactly the same but the spec 2 car has smaller, more realistic wheel wells, modified suspension and improved electronics.
The Epoch Indoor Racer controller is not made very well and there's not much of an after-market selection of parts and supplies. In contrast, the controller that comes with the Mini Z is outstanding, there are many after-market products and it's much faster than an Epoch Indoor Racer.
MysticKnight's Buying Advice:
Buy the Hobbico MicroSizer first and if you think it's a blast and you're ready to move up to "real" micro RC racing, consider the Mini Z (described below) instead of the Epoch Indoor Racer.
Kyosho Mini Z Formula 1 (1:28 Scale - Approx 6" in Length)
Formula 1 cars are now available with the same attention to detail as the original Kyosho Mini Z Street Racers.
HPI Micro RS4 (1:18 Scale - Approx 9" in Length)
This car is bigger and similar to the "real" 1:10 electric cars. Radio and electronics have to be purchased separately and this car tends to be more expensive but it's the best "small" R/C car out there in my opinion.
PITZON's Buying Advice:
I can speak for those of us who took the step from racing bigger 1:10 electric cars quite seriously and spending insane amounts of money on the larger cars. Once we bought the Mini-Z and HPI Micro RS4 cars, all of us sold our big cars and race nothing but small R/C cars now.
Takara Digi Q (1:66 Scale - Just Under 2" in Length)
Strengths: Durable, Very Small, Good Quality Controller, Proportional Steering, Long Driving Time
Weaknesses: Doesn't Handle Well, Slow in Corners, Cartoon Looking Bodies
Although the Takara Digi-Q is smaller, faster and drives longer on a charge (15 minutes) than the Bit Char-G and the controller is the best quality out of all the controllers (including the more expensive Epoch Indoor Racers), I've never really liked the DigiQ cars.
The Digi Q uses 2 motors to control speed AND steering. When you want to go right, the right motor slows down to make the car go right which means it goes slower in corners. The car is less than 2" long and I think that contributes to how "squirly" it feels. Instead of using a frequency to transmit to the car, the Digi Q controllers send their signals via Infrared. You can switch the controller to one of 4 settings to match the car you're racing, but the car itself can't be switched.
The controller feels solid in your hand and you can electronically switch between high and low speeds. An optional infrared "booster" is available to get better range (although the range seems pretty good without it). The DigiQ car and controller costs about $55.
MysticKnight's Buying Advice:
Personally, I would buy the Tomy Bit Char-G instead of the Takara Digi Q. Even though the Bit Char-G is slower, it's more fun to drive because of how it handles.
There are several other brands of micro remote control cars that are inexpensive copies of the Tomy Bit Char-G and Takara DigiQ cars. Those cars are called clones and some of them are worth looking into. More information about all the mini radio controlled cars mentioned here and other vehicles such as micro remote control helicopters, mini RC planes, miniature R/C boats, micro remote control tanks and more can be found at the mini RC cars forum.

In ZFC, for example, there is no universal set, so what does it mean to write $\forall x (\cdots)$, i.e., for all sets something is true? Does it avoid the problem by quantifying over all elements but not allowing those elements to form a set?
A related question I have is about quantifying over infinite sets. If $X$ is a finite set with $n$ elements $x_1, x_2, x_3, \ldots, x_n$, Then it is reasonable to define $\forall x\in X :P(x)$ to be the statement $P(x_1)\wedge P(x_2)\wedge\cdots\wedge P(x_n)$ (which can be formalized using a recursive definition). But what about infinite sets? It seems that if $Y$ is a countably infinite set with elements $y_1,y_2,\ldots$, then $\forall y\in Y: P(y)$ would mean $P(y_1)\wedge P(y_2)\wedge\cdots$, which we couldn't finish stating. For uncountable sets, we would miss an element in between every time we count upwards.

Speeches sourced from the Labour party's online archive More…
An unfair Budget from the same old Tories
-Check Against Delivery-
Ed Miliband MP, Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Labour Party, in response to the Budget, said:
Mr Deputy Speaker.
The Chancellor spoke for an hour.
But there was one phrase that did not pass his lips.
One claim he has abandoned.
"We're all in this together."
And it's no wonder.
Because after today's Budget:
Millions will be paying more so that millionaires can pay less.
A year ago the Chancellor said in his Budget speech:
"Now would not be the right time to remove [the 50p tax rate] when we are asking others in our society on much lower incomes to make sacrifices..."
Well that is exactly what he has done today.
Tax credits cut,
Child Benefit taken away.
And fuel duty up.
And what has he chosen to make a priority today?
For Britain's millionaires, a massive income tax cut each and every year.
The fairness test for this Budget was whether the Chancellor used every penny he could to help middle income families that are squeezed.
He has failed that test.
Anyone who listened to the Chancellor will be asking the same question:
What planet are he and the Prime Minister living on?
Doesn't he know:
1 million young people out of work.
50 businesses going bust every day,
A cost of living crisis for families.
They promised change, but things have got worse not better.
What did he promise us in last year's Budget?
He said he would, and I quote: "put fuel in the tank of the British economy".
He promised growth of 2.5% in 2012.
But today tells us it will be just 0.8%.
Growth down last year.
Growth down this year.
Growth down next year.
Every time he comes to the House he offers a different excuse but the reality is:
His plan has failed.
Last year he told us unemployment would peak in 2011 and what has he delivered?
We're into 2012, and unemployment is rising month upon month upon month.
His plan has failed.
He promised us last year the deficit would be gone by the end of this parliament.
But he is borrowing £150 billion more than he said he would.
He has failed.
And in the face of failure, what does he offer?
Not a change in economic strategy.
Not a guarantee of jobs for the young unemployed.
Not targeting every penny he could at working families.
The driving ambition of this Budget, and this Chancellor, is to deliver a tax cut for people earning over £150,000 a year.
There are 30 million taxpayers in this country.
This policy will do absolutely nothing for 29 million, 700,000 of them.
How can the priority for our country be an income tax cut for the richest 1%, at a time when the squeezed middle are facing rising petrol prices, higher energy bills, tax credits and child benefit being cut?
Instead, he could have reversed his cuts to tax credits.
He could have done something for pensioners.
He could have done more to undo the damage from his reckless child benefit change.
But he claims he can't afford it.
Let me tell him, every time in the future he tries to justify an unfair decision by saying times are tough, we'll remind him:
He's the man who chose to spend millions of pounds on those who need it least.
Wrong choices.
Wrong priorities.
Wrong values.
Out of touch.
Same old Tories.
And let's come to his claims on stamp duty.
There are 300,000 people benefiting each and every year from his top rate tax cut.
But there are just 4,000 houses sold each year for more than £2 million.
So 99% of those who gain from his millionaires tax cut will be totally unaffected by his rise in stamp duty, and get a massive windfall from this Chancellor.
The Chancellor didn't tell us what this meant in pounds and pence, so let me read out the figures just so there is no doubt.
There are 14,000 people earning over a million pounds in Britain.
The Chancellor's decision today means that each of them will get a tax cut.
Not of a thousand pounds.
Not of five thousand pounds.
Not of ten thousand pounds.
A pay rise of over £40,000.
Not just for this year.
But every year.
That is this Chancellor's priority – giving 14,000 millionaires over £40,000 each.
And what happens to families who earn in one year half what the Chancellor has so casually given away to the richest in the last hour?
Families on £20,000 a year – the nurse, the lorry driver.
Even after the personal allowance change, they're not going to be better off, they are going to be worse off.
Putting aside the VAT rise.
And all the other tax rises that have already happened.
From this April alone they will be a further £253 a year worse off.
All he is doing for ordinary families is giving with one hand and taking far more away with the other.
It's a millionaires budget that squeezes the middle.
Wrong choices.
Wrong priorities.
Wrong values.
Out of touch.
Same old Tories.
Under his tax cut, a banker earning five million pounds will get an extra £240,000 a year.
Let's call this what it really is:
The Government's very own bankers' bonus.
Presumably he wants us to believe that the £240,000 tax cut is necessary to make them work harder.
And it's one rule for them, and another for everyone else.
On the very day his millionaires' tax cut kicks in, this Chancellor will be telling a family working for sixteen hours on the minimum wage that if they don't work more hours they will lose nearly £4,000 in tax credits.
It tells you everything you need to know about the values of this Chancellor and this Prime Minister.
The poor will only work harder by making them poorer.
And the rich will only work harder by making them richer.
Wrong choices.
Wrong priorities.
Wrong values.
Out of touch.
Same old Tories.
While everybody else is squeezed, what's the Chancellor's priority?
A massive tax cut for his Christmas card list.
And what about the hapless accomplice to all this, the Deputy Prime Minister.
Only the Liberal Democrats could be dumb enough to think that a George Osborne budget is a Robin Hood budget.
Calamity Clegg strikes again.
This is what he said just a few months ago about the 50p rate:
"I do not believe that the priority at a time like...[this]...is to give a tax cut to a tiny, tiny number of people who are much, much better off than anybody else."
The party that once followed Lloyd George is now reduced to following George Osborne.
The party that delivered the people's budget of 1909 supporting the millionaire's budget of 2012.
They should be ashamed.
For all the talk, all the briefing, the Deputy Prime Minister has done exactly what he's done on every big issue, from tuition fees to the betrayal on the NHS.
Rolled over and said 'yes Prime Minister'.
The truth is that for ordinary families, it's hurting but it's not working.
And we know why.
Because this Government has been cutting too far and too fast.
What did the Chancellor say in August last year about America's more balanced deficit plan:
"Those who spent the whole of the past year telling us to follow the American example need to answer this simple question: why has the US economy grown more slowly than the UK economy?"
Mr Deputy Speaker, the numbers are in.
And the Chancellor is plain wrong.
The US economy grew at 1.7% last year, twice the rate of ours.
This Government have run out of excuses.
It's their mistakes which are damaging our future.
It's the failure of their plan.
Today we heard about more schemes for growth from the Chancellor.
But why should we believe it?
Because every scheme he has put forward so far has failed.
What was the big idea of his first Budget?
The national insurance holiday.
Not a word about it today.
And it's no wonder.
He told us back then it would help 400,000 firms.
Now we know he's missed his target by 97%.
This Chancellor's plan has failed.
What about the centrepiece of last year's budget?
The Budget for Growth.
This is my favourite.
The Business Growth Fund.
Six regional offices opened.
And how many businesses benefiting?
One for each office.
The Chancellor's plan has failed.
We needed a plan for growth that will work.
We needed a guarantee on youth jobs.
We needed a British investment bank to help small businesses.
But on growth, on jobs, on how we pay our way in the world, this Chancellor has failed.
On the proposal on film tax relief, let me say this:
It is great to support the great British success stories like Downton Abbey.
A tale of a group of out of touch millionaires.
Who act like they're born to rule.
But turn out to be no good at it.
Sound familiar Mr Deputy Speaker?
We all know it's a costume drama.
They think it's a fly on the wall documentary.
This Budget will be remembered for his failure on growth and jobs and the top rate tax cut.
This isn't just a bad policy, or a misjudgement.
It destroys the claim the Prime Minister made about who he was and what he believed.
What did he personally say in his aims and values document, sent out to every Conservative Party member.
"The right test for our policies is how they help the most disadvantaged in society, not the rich".
It was called Built to Last.
That was his test.
A test this Budget fails spectacularly.
It's the death knell of his project.
His compassionate Conservatism.
He and the Chancellor have shown their true colours.
They promised change.
But they have failed on growth, on jobs, on borrowing, on fairness.
Unfair. Out of touch.
For the few, not the many.
An unfair Budget built on economic failure.
An unfair Budget from the same old Tories.

Through the diaries of team members and interviews with survivors, Lansing reconstructs the months of terror and hardship the Endurance crew suffered. In October of 1915, there "were no helicopters, no Weasels, no Sno-Cats, no suitable planes. Thus their plight was naked and terrifying in its simplicity. If they were to get out--they had to get themselves out." How Shackleton did indeed get them out without the loss of a single life is at the heart of Lansing's magnificent true-life adventure tale.

ANAHEIM, Calif., April 11 (UPI) -- Jean-Sebastien Giguerre allowed only a second-period goal and made 23 saves Wednesday to bring Colorado a surprising 4-1 win over Anaheim.
The Avalanche, owners of the worst record in the NHL, ended a five-game losing streak by defeating a team battling for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
John Mitchell scored for Colorado 64 seconds into the game and the Avalanche took control with a three-goal second period.
Gabriel Landeskog, Matt Duchene and Jamie McGinn all scored against Jonas Hiller, driving him from the contest after he had allowed four goals on 16 shots.
Teemu Selanne produced Anaheim's only goal on a tip-in with 8:44 to go in the second period.
The Ducks, who had won their previous two games, remained five points behind Chicago for the best record in the West.

Esquire Names Mila Kunis 'Sexiest Woman Alive' Without Consulting Us First
Mila Kunis has come a long way since playing the bratty Jackie Burkhart on 'That '70s Show.'
She was cute then, if you could look past her character's grating tendencies. She has, however, made the leap to drop-dead gorgeous since those days. Lesbian scenes with other hot women might have put her over the top.
Esquire has rewarded Kunis's steady aesthetic ascent by declaring her the "Sexiest Woman Alive" for 2012. In turn, the Russian-born 29-year-old has rewarded us by posing on Esquire's cover in only a pair of tight leather pants.
Kunis played opposite Mark Wahlberg in the 2012 comedy 'Ted,' and has also done the voice of Meg Griffin on 'The Family Guy' since 1999.
While she used to date former child star Macaulay Culkin — suggesting to regular guys everywhere that they might just have a chance — she broke up with him in 2010, and has lately been seen getting cozy with her '70s Show' boyfriend Ashton Kutcher.
Previous Esquire 'Sexiest Woman Alive' winners include Halle Berry, Kate Beckinsale, Minka Kelly and Rihanna.
Did the men's mag make the right choice in 2012? If you are unsure, this video Esquire put together could help you make your mind.
Fine. Good choice Esquire.

|Film / Movie Swing & Exil (2 DVD (PAL))
Summer vacations, for a pre-teen, are the last magical moments in one`s life, and Tony Gatlif`s Swing will fail or succeed depending on how well it matches your memories of those magic summer months. Max (Oscar Copp) is first seen timidly venturing into the gypsy neighbourhood of a small Alsace town, intent on buying a guitar. He`s staying with his grandmother for the summer, and has fallen for the exuberant jazz played by French gypsies since the 30s, when it was made famous by the guitarist Django Reinhardt. He meets a gypsy girl named Swing (Lou Rech) and falls in love, while taking guitar lessons from her uncle (Tchavolo Schmitt). It`s hard not to be fascinated by the freewheeling but tragic life of European gypsies, a subculture that Gatlif, a gypsy himself, has devoted his career to portraying. In some stubborn part, Swing is a documentary, with frequent unscripted jam sessions - including one where gypsy musicians work out a synthesis of their own music with Arab and Yiddish styles, a hopeful note for a French film, where historic guilt over the gypsy genocide of World War Two mingles with the explosive situation with Arab immigration to France today. The balance of Gatlif`s film concerns the innocent romance between Max and Swing, played out in her family`s caravan, on the industrial fringes of the town, and in the forests outside. Gatlif handles these scenes with a lightness of touch, infusing them with that sense of freedom and longing that`s usually all that remains when you can`t remember the last time you swam in a stream, or were fascinated by nature. If the scenes with the children are supremely evocative, the world of the adults swings between manic, celebratory drunks and abiding melancholy. You can either call this a telling contrast or a poor fit, depending on how much the world Gatlif depicts charms you. Swing is undeniably loose, a drawback in a thriller, probably, but an advantage for a film that tries to capture a fleeting moment as delicate as light on a pond.
Two lovers seek a return to their roots in Exils, a road movie from French writer/director Tony Gatlif. As they wind their way from Paris to Algeria - birthplace of their parents - music-loving Zano (Romain Duris) and his girlfriend Naima (Lubna Azabal) flirt, fight, make new friends and finally undergo a spiritual awakening. Our pilgrim pair make pleasant enough company, but in the end it`s the sights and sounds of the journey that stay with us rather than the characters. The decision to hit the road is made in the Paris apartment where we first meet our travellers, fresh from making love. While Exils is candid about their bodies, it doesn`t reveal enough of their inner selves to offer the emotional reward of a film like The Motorcycle Diaries (which this often resembles). Even in key moments - when Zano gets sexually jealous over Naima`s brief encounter in a flamenco bar, or the climactic Sufi ritual - it feels like we`re eyeing events from a distance. Shame, because Duris and Azabal are lively performers, showing off their sizzle in a scene where fruit-picking becomes foreplay. Exils` dramatic shortcomings are offset by its success as a travelogue. Gatlif (whose own family history is echoed in the story) shoots in a documentary style that leaves plenty of room for fancy framing (like one lengthy take from the back of a moving truck). It`s not only the scenery that impresses: there`s also a fine soundtrack (by Gatlif and Monique Dartonne), with socially aware song lyrics that fill in some of the blanks left by the sparse dialogue.

« Fashioned as we are by Western values, we take pleasure in observing, ironically and delightedly, the simulacra of Korean happiness. But who are we to judge their happiness? The great strength of this album is that it sows doubt in our mind. These couples, these families, these men and women presented in the intimacy of their private life are surely very like us. The expressions on their faces make us think of our own questionings about what we want to do with our lives. The book contains cracks through which we catch glimpses of scenes and details that give the impression that North Koreans have a gift for inventing moments of happiness in spite of everything. Scenes from everyday life, shared moments, a break in the protocol: it is these scenes and these smiles that make us doubt. The happiness is not actual joy but it is the sign of it. Signs, like those which all the people in the book convey to the photographer, are a link with the spectator.»

Former Five Roses Owner-Pizzawoman Now Making Pizza on the Beach in Jamaica
That's Jamaica the country, not Jamaica, Queens. Jeremiah's Vanishing New York reports that former Five Roses owner-pizzawoman Krystyna is now semiretired in the island nation, working at a sports bar called 23/7:
I called 23/7 in Negril and spoke to co-owner John Maire, who confirmed the rumor. John lived in the East Village most of his life. He ate at the 5 Rose's for 20 years and even delivered pizzas for Krystyna. She cooked for his wedding. With the neighborhood turned to "bullshit," John got out. He brought Krystyna with him, convincing her that the beaches of Negril were a lot warmer than Poland.
John says the pizza is still excellent and made with yeast he brings down from Moishe's Bakery on Second Avenue. And Krystyna is happy. She got on the phone with me and said, "Jamaica is better for me. I love it here. Not like New York—forget it, Honey!"
The popular East Village pizzeria closed in late November 2008, a victim of rising rent. Krystyna (whose last name no one seems to know) vowed to reopen in the East Village after a visit to her native Poland, but it looks some R&R on the beach changed her mind.

How Men Grieve
by Deborah Mitchell
Months after Rick's father died, Rick's wife Cathy began to worry about her husband. "Rick has never cried or talked about his father's death," she says. "Now he spends all of his free time working on an old '58 Chevy he and his dad had bought right before he died. I'm worried that he's not handling his dad's death in a healthy way."
Death may be a normal part of life, but grief can undermine how you move forward. You know how you handle grief, but if you don't know how people around you will handle it, then things can be come unstable and complicated very quickly.
Masculine and Feminine Responses
What Cathy perceives as an unhealthy response is, in fact, a healthy one. Rick's behavior is typical of the way men handle loss. He is expressing his grief privately. By restoring the Chevy he is connecting to the pain to begin the healing process, as well as honoring his father's memory. Cathy however, grieves from the feminine side by crying and talking with family and friends.
While women typically express and share their grief and look to the past, most men won't verbalize their pain and often deny they are sad. They are also more likely to take action, such as setting up a trust fund or creating a memorial.
Men are taught to hide their tears, and to replace their sadness with anger. As a result, men may initially experience the strength of their anger before they begin to shed their tears.
Conversely, women may be the opposite. They have been taught not to express their anger, so they use the strength of tears.
Healing Through Therapy
The biggest problem with therapy is that it is shaped to be effective with women. That may be a by-product of women being more likely to seek help when coping with loss. Talking and expressing emotions are difficult for most men because it is not in their nature to seek help.
One way to get men to talk is to get them involved in an activity. One hospice invites all the recent widowers to an all-day fishing trip. This activity allows the men to process their grief while they fish together. This approach works with boys too. While boys may not open up one-on-one, they may talk while doing something together, like playing basketball.
The approach to conversation is also different. Instead of asking a recent widower how he feels, ask him to talk about the day something happened. For example, you may ask what it was like the last day he saw his wife. He is likely to tell a story about about how he feels, rather than directly express it directly or through tears.
Once men do start to talk, they are more willing to express anger than are women. Many times they're also expressing a greater degree of guilt—possibly because the situation was out of their control. The idea that they should have been able to control the circumstances is typical of men, while women usually believe they cannot, so they are more open to help.
Ritual and Symbolism
A ritual is a routine activity that helps people move from one state of mind to another. It is often a critical part of a man's healing process. For Rick, it was restoring the old Chevy.
The ritual activity is intended to connect you with your pain and grief and allows you to move out of ordinary awareness and into the experience of grief, in a safe way, for a period of time.
Sometimes men express their grief symbolically. When pro golfer Payne Stewart died in a plane crash several days before the Tournament of Champions, many of his peers wore knickers (Payne's trademark) during the event to show they were feeling something they couldn't express inside.
Other symbolic actions can include dedicating a game during a sporting event or building a memorial.
Mixed Signals
Men often get mixed signals when it comes to expressing grief. The message they receive growing up is to take loss like a man. When they reach adulthood, though, the messages become contradictory. A grief counselor may see grieving families in which the wife and children are crying, but the husband is not. The family is worried because dad isn't crying. Yet if he does, they get upset. Although a wife may be relieved that her partner is able to grieve, she may fear that his tears somehow lessen him as a figure of strength. Thus, men are criticized when they don't grieve, and their masculinity is questioned when they do.
Physical Differences
Men may now be expected to be more sensitive and get in touch with their feelings, yet be strong and masculine, and they are making progress, but there is still a long way to go. Old habits die hard and it may take generations to see change.
When all is said and done, grief does not discriminate. It is important not to put grief into gender-specific roles. Ultimately, we are all different and deal with loss individually.

|Mustafa Kandirali Caz Roman (CD)
|These WDR recordings of Mustafa Kandirali capture the foremost clarinetist of Turkey at the pinnacle of his musical career. Kandirali, as no performer before him, embodies the melting pot that is Turkey - a bridge between the multifaceted musical cultures of East and West. His astounding absorption and synthesis of diverse jazz idioms earned him the nickname "Benny Goodman of the Near East". No wonder that, after hearing Mustafa Kandirali play in Istanbul, Louis Armstrong immediately seized the opportunity to jam with him. His mastery is underscored by his playful treatment of seemingly disparate elements of popular and classical music, belly dance and jazz, which he never fails to drive to the peak of ecstatic perfection. Packed football stadiums attest to the fact that many consider him to be the last great soloist on this instrument. On these WDR recordings, Kandirali is accompanied by the kanun, (a trapezoid zither), darbuka drums, bongos, and oud. During a subsequent performance in Düsseldorf, this carefully groomed ensemble caused such a furore that they were literally held hostage until they played a full hour`s worth of encores!

"Real GDP growth in sub-Saharan Africa rose in 2004 to an eight-year high of 5 percent, while average inflation fell to below 10 percent for the first time in almost 25 years," Abdoulaye Bio-Tchané, IMF African Department Director, told reporters on April 14 in Washington, D.C. Commenting on the findings of the Spring 2005 issue of the Africa Regional Economic Outlook, he also noted that growth continued to be particularly strong in African oil-producing countries last year, averaging 6.9 percent. Despite global oil price hikes, many oil-importing countries also performed well, with more than one-third of them growing at rates exceeding 5 percent. For much of the region, however, growth still fell short of the rate needed to reach the Millennium Development Goal of halving income poverty by 2015 relative to 1990.
Macroeconomic policies contributed significantly to the region's overall robust growth performance, according to the report. In oil-importing countries, the governments took appropriate steps such as tightening fiscal policies in response to the oil price shock. At the same time, these countries benefited from strong increases in prices of metals, diamonds, and food, combined with higher import demand in advanced economies.
For the region as a whole, the report projects continued strong growth this year, averaging 5 percent, and subdued inflation overall (see table). Among the downside risks to growth in 2005, however, are lingering conflicts in Côte d'Ivoire and the Great Lakes region, record low world cotton prices, the recent removal of the remaining textile quotas in industrial countries, and the vulnerability of many countries to drought and other natural disasters.
The 30 percent drop in the world cotton price over the past year could cause considerable declines in export earnings in a number of countries, including Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Togo, where cotton production employs as much as one-third of the population. With cotton prices unlikely to rebound strongly any time soon, the worst-affected countries need more donor support to avert worsening poverty and cushion the impact while they implement critical structural reforms to improve the cotton sector's efficiency and competitiveness. At least five countries—Cape Verde, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mauritius, and Swaziland—will need to respond to the immediate impact of abolished textile quotas by adopting an appropriate mix of macroeconomic policies to improve export competitiveness while rigorously pursuing structural reforms to remove impediments to trade expansion.
Improved investment climate is key
In the coming years, the region's most critical challenge, the report said, will be to sustain and accelerate economic growth. Real per capita income, which increased by a modest 2.7 percent last year, remains little changed from the mid-1970s. Growth is more likely to be sustained if it is driven by higher productivity and investment rather than by temporary employment increases. While total investment has not increased significantly in the region's fast-growing economies (excluding Equatorial Guinea), it is encouraging that total factor productivity growth has improved strongly for the first time since the 1960s. A number of countries have succeeded in sustaining higher growth rates over the past decade through policy improvements. African countries must now implement further macroeconomic and structural reforms to boost investment and trade. Improving the investment climate is a key priority.
Trade within Africa remains low, and the region is falling further behind the rest of the world in terms of its share of both overall trade and foreign direct investment. Bio-Tchané emphasized that "strong trade expansion must be an integral part of sustainable growth." Sub-Saharan Africa countries need to reduce trade barriers on a broad, nondiscriminatory basis— including through strong commitments to trade liberalization in the Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations. This should be complemented by reductions in transport and border-crossing costs, improvements in infrastructure, and upgraded workers' skills. Countries can take early action to compensate for potential revenue losses from trade liberalization by strengthening their capacity to mobilize domestic tax revenue. And, as African authorities have themselves recommended, greater effort must be made to streamline the existing 30 regional trade organizations.
Strong economic performance is expected to continue.

Toward the end of the Second World War, Poland's annexation of eastern German lands precipitated one of the largest demographic upheavals in European history. Edyta Materka travels to her native village in these "Recovered Territories," where she listens carefully to rich oral histories told by original postwar Slavic settlers and remaining ethnic Germans who witnessed the metamorphosis of eastern Germany into western Poland. She discovers that peasants, workers, and elites adapted war-honed informal strategies they called "kombinacja" to preserve a modicum of local agency while surviving the vicissitudes of policy formulated elsewhere, from Stalinist collectivization to the shock doctrine of neoliberalism. Informality has taken many forms: as a way of life, a world view, an alternate historical text, a border memory, and a means of magical transformation during times of crisis. Materka ventures beyond conventional ethnography to trace the diverse historical, literary, and psychological dimensions of kombinacja. Grappling with the legacies of informality in her own transnational family, Materka searches for the "kombinator within" on the borderlands and shares her own memories of how the Polish diaspora found new uses for kombinacja in America.
Edyta Materka received her PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science and is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow in the School of Geography, Queen Mary University of London.
"Rare and exceptionally well-researched analysis of an invisible practice. "
— Alena Ledeneva, author of Can Russia Modernise?: Sistema, Power Networks and Informal Governance
"By concentrating on the local strategies of combination in the areas of uprootedness, Materka has made an interesting and valuable contribution to our knowledge of human behavior. References and the use of Polish words for important concepts are exemplary. . . . [H]er collection of narratives provides food for thought on the relation between formal regulation and human ingenuity."
— Baltic Worlds
"Materka has produced an eloquently written, exciting, and meticulously analyzed ethnographic history that marks an alternative to the vast majority of strictly archival-based historical literature on the German-Polish borderlands. Within the field of Polish history, this book is also an important contribution as the first extensive work on the critical role of informality in the politics, society, and economy of People's Poland."

MedNet is a medical reimbursement company specializing in Radiology billing. Therefore our clients are doctors.
MedNet is a privately owned and run family business, which combined, has over 70 years of experience in the field of radiology. MedNet is committed to building personal relationships with each of their clients in order to sustain a mutually beneficial working relationship going forward.
Outsourcing medical billing is fast becoming the better option for medical practitioners, as this allows them the time to focus on their patient's needs, instead of how and when the patient is going to pay. We take this burden out of the equation with our highly motivated staff trained in radiology-specific coding and billing procedures for optimal reimbursement.
Our goal therefore is to provide a professional billing service to Radiologists with the assurance that their success is our personal success.
We are experts in coding and billing for all radiology procedures such as MRI scans, CT scans, nuclear medicine procedures, sonograms, mammograms, etc.
Our current domain name is http://www.radiologybilling.com/
The site has served us well but the design is very out-dated.
Medical billing is the process of submitting and following up on claims to insurance companies in order to receive payment for services rendered by a healthcare provider. The same process is used for most insurance companies, whether they are private companies or government-owned.
The key to the success of our business is largely to do with the website. The website needs to catch their attention but stay corporate at all times, can be slightly edgy and modern but nothing too fancy.
Our goal with the Homepage is to have a lot less copy/content and to be more eye catching and more call to action orientated. The focus should be on the blocks, as described on page 6 of the PDF brief.
The new slogan for MedNet is "Radiology Billing You Can Trust".
Corporate Identity and Artwork
The existing Corporate Identity is as per the current website, which is black and turquoise. This coloring must be used.
We do not have any existing artwork in open format and therefore all artwork will have to be obtained from the current website or re-created.
The attitude of this site is, as said, corporate, professional and trustworthy focusing on excellent customer service.
The web site should be easy to use and navigate. The web site will only be available in English.
Please refer to attached PDF for more information

OLYMPIC COMMEMORATIVE APPRAREL ON SALE: USA Volleyball has unveiled five commemorative logo designs to appear on apparel saluting USA Volleyball's medal successes at the recent Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in Beijing.

Long sleeve t-shirts are $18, crew sweatshirts are $23 and hoodies are $30. Sizes XXL and larger have a slightly higher price. USA Volleyball's success on the Olympic grand stage in Beijing has never been achieved by any other nation since volleyball was added to the Olympics in 1964. The U.S. Olympic Men's Indoor Volleyball Team, which was named the United States Olympic Committee Team of the Month for August 2008, captured the gold medal at the Olympic Games without losing a single match. Women's Beach Volleyball (Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh) and Men's Beach Volleyball (Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers) both came back from Beijing with Olympic Games gold medals. The U.S. Olympic Women's Indoor Volleyball Team captured the silver medal in Beijing, as did the U.S. Women's Sitting Team during the Paralympic Games. No other country has ever participated in the gold-medal match of all four Olympic Games volleyball disciplines during the same year. Team USA added a fifth gold-medal appearance at the Paralympic Games.
2009 PAN AMERICAN CUP COMING TO MIAMI: USA Volleyball will host the Eighth Annual Women's Pan American Cup June 26-July 4 in conjunction with the USA Junior Olympic Girls' Volleyball Championship in the Miami area. The nine-day Pan American Cup, which will tentatively have three of the four 2008 Olympic Games semifinalists (Brazil, USA and Cuba), will be played on the campuses of the University of Miami and Florida International University. "USA Volleyball is extremely excited about the opportunity to host one of the largest international volleyball events in Miami and to pair it with the 2009 USA Junior Olympic Girls' Volleyball Championships," USA Volleyball Chief Executive Officer Doug Beal said. "It will provide a unique opportunity for our developing young volleyball players to be exposed to elite international volleyball teams from North America, South America and the Caribbean. The two events will also generate terrific excitement in the community and lead to greater popularity for the sport." USA Volleyball is hosting its first-ever Women's Pan American Cup, which serves as a qualifying event into the 2010 FIVB World Grand Prix. The event is the largest international volleyball event hosted by USA Volleyball in terms of country participation. Team USA has not hosted a women's senior-level international tournament since the 1998 FIVB World Championship Qualifier tournament in 1998. Due to international scheduling and professional league commitments, matches on domestic soil have become a rarity with only seven contests against foreign teams in the most recent Olympic quadrennial (2005-2008).

The grandfather of a U.S. Naval Academy football player says his grandson is one of three midshipmen charged with sexually assaulting a female student last year.
Jackson Bush said Friday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that Tra'ves Bush had a previous relationship with the woman but didn't have anything to do with the alleged assault.
Tra'ves Bush declined to comment to the AP.
Two people with direct knowledge of the case identified the other two midshipmen as Josh Tate and Eric Graham. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they believe it is the Naval Academy's place to give the names, which it hasn't done yet.
The Capital of Annapolis first reported the same names.
Academy spokesman John Schofield says the school won't make names public unless their cases proceed to a court-martial.

October 2018 Headline Personal Spending Again Little Changed
Written by Steven Hansen
The headline data this month shows continued relatively good month-over-month growth in spending and income.
Analyst Opinion of Personal Income and Expenditures
Consumer income growth year-over-year is marginally lower than spending growth year-over-year.
The backward revisions this month were mixed. Overall, the expenditure data is little different than last month. The real issue with personal income and expenditures is that it jumps around - and one cannot take any single month as fixed or gospel.
z pce_table.png
The inflation adjusted income and consumption are "chained", and headline GDP is inflation adjusted. This means the impact to GDP is best understood by looking at the chained numbers. Econintersect believes year-over-year trends are very revealing in understanding economic dynamics.
Per capita inflation adjusted expenditure has exceeded the pre-recession peak.
Seasonally and Inflation Adjusted Expenditure Per Capita
Backward revisions this month:
The graph below illustrates the relationship between income (DPI) and expenditures (PCE) - showing clearly income and expenditures grow at nearly the same rate over time.
Indexed to Jan 2000, Growth of Real Disposable Income (blue line) to Real Expenditures (red line)
The short term trends are mixed depending on the periods selected.
Seasonally Adjusted Spending's Ratio to Income (a declining ratio means consumer is spending less of its Income)
PCE is the spending of consumers. In the USA, the consumer is the economy. Likewise, personal income is the money consumers earn to spend. Even though most analysts concentrate on personal expenditures because GDP is based on spending, increases in personal income allow consumers the option to spend more.
There is a general correlation of PCE to GDP (PCE is a component of GDP).
Seasonally and Inflation Adjusted Year-over-Year Change of Personal Consumption Expenditures (blue line) to GDP (red line)
Econintersect and GDP uses the inflation adjusted (chained) numbers. Disposable Personal Income (DPI) is the income after the taxes.
Seasonally & Inflation Adjusted Percent Change From the Previous Month - Personal Disposable Income (red line) and Personal Consumption Expenditures (blue line)
Yet year-over-year growth for income and expenditures is below GDP year-over-year growth.
Seasonally & Inflation Adjusted Year-over-Year Change - Personal Disposable Income (red line) and Personal Consumption Expenditures (blue line)
The savings rate has been bouncing around - but the general trend is down. In an economy driven by consumers, a higher savings rate does not bode well for increased GDP. This is one reason GDP may not be a good single metric of economic activity.
Personal Savings as a Percentage of Disposable Personal Income
And one look at the different price changes seen by the BEA in this PCE release versus the BEA's GDP and BLS's Consumer Price Index (CPI). We should note that the inflation adjustment is for PCE and Personal Income is usually lower than the ones used for GDP and CPI.
Year-over-Year Change - PCE's Price Index (blue line) versus CPI-U (red line) versus GDP Deflator (green line)
Finally for recession watchers, here is the graph below, here are the elements used to mark a recession. (1) personal income less transfer payments, in real terms and (2) employment. In addition, we refer to two indicators with coverage primarily of manufacturing and goods: (3) industrial production and (4) the volume of sales of the manufacturing and wholesale-retail sectors adjusted for price changes.
If a line falls below the 0 (black line) - that sector is contracting from the previous month. Personal income is the blue line. Note - the below graph uses multipliers to make movements more obvious (ignore the value of the scale, only consider whether the graph is above [good] or below [bad] the zero line).
Month-over-Month Growth Personal Income less transfer payments (blue line), Employment (red line), Industrial Production (green line), Business Sales (orange line)
Caveats on the Use of Personal Income and Consumption Expenditure Data
PCE is a fairly noisy index and subject at times to significant backward revision. This index cannot be relied upon in real time.
This personal income and personal consumption expenditure data by itself is not a good tool to warn of an upcoming recession. Econintersect has shown that PCE is a distraction for recession watchers, with moves over a few months having a 30% accuracy of indicating a recession start, and a 70% incidence of indicating a non-recessionary event. PCE does have prolonged declines over many months associated with recessions but these long declines are not very good in "predicting" a recession until it is already underway.
Readers are warned that this article is based on seasonally adjusted data. Monthly non-adjusted data is available with a delay of several months.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi had to be talking to himself on Friday night after an apparent double down the left field line by Eduardo Nunez in the fifth inning caromed off the knee of third base umpire Jerry Meals and bounded right to shortstop Ben Zobrist, limiting Nunez to one base.
There's no doubt about the correct ruling. The umpire, even though he was standing foul territory behind third, is considered part of the field so any ball that hits him remains in play. The loss of the base may have cost the Yankees a run, since Derek Jeter followed with a single into shallow right that presumably would have moved Nunez to third and Nick Swisher followed with a long fly out to left that would have scored him with the tying run.
Of course, you can't assume any of that would have happened, but that's not the most interesting thing about the incident. Meals is the umpire that called Mark Teixeira out on the heavily disputed play that ended last Saturday night's game against the Orioles.
If Teixeira had been safe, and replays appeared to show that he was, the Yankees would have tied that game in the ninth inning.
The Yankees can take some solace in the fact that the Nunez shot off Meals knee had to really, really hurt, but Meals would not give them the satisfaction. Not only did he stay on his feet and rule the ball fair, but he resumed his stance and gave no indication that he was in any pain other than stoicly mouthing "Ouch" when the camera zoomed in on him.
