MOSCOW, March 23 (UPI) -- The window for U.S.-Russian talks on a missile shield in Europe is closing as the defense system nears reality, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Friday
Medvedev said Russia remains open to discussions on the shield, which Russian officials say would harm the country's own deterrents to attacks, but "time is running out," RIA Novosti reported.
"The door is not closed for talks on missile defense," Medvedev said during a Euro-Atlantic security forum in Moscow.
Negotiations between Russia and NATO members on the U.S.-led missile defense system have been stymied by reluctance by the alliance to provide Russia with legally binding guarantees that the shield will not be used against it.
The United States said the shield would protect Europe against attacks by "rogue states" such as Iran and North Korea, but Russian officials have expressed concern the defense system could eventually be used to neutralize Russia's nuclear deterrent.
"Why should we believe that this new European missile defense is not targeted against us?" Medvedev said. "They keep telling us 'this system is for you,' but how should we use it?"

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS—Support for medical testing on animals has declined 12% since 2001 in the United States, and the Internet may be responsible, according to an analysis presented here today at the annual meeting of AAAS, which publishes Science. The study, conducted by researchers at the advocacy group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Western Governors University, an online school based in Salt Lake City, looked at Gallup survey data from the past 12 years. After weighting the data to ensure they were nationally representative, the researchers found that 41% of American adults considered animal testing "morally wrong" in 2013, up from 29% in 2001. Opposition to such testing has risen among all demographic groups, but the biggest jump has been among people aged 18 to 29; 54% of them found animal testing morally wrong in 2013, versus just 31% in 2001. The team says the surge in Internet use during this period may explain the trend. Animal rights and animal welfare organizations have a much stronger presence on social media than do pro-animal testing groups—PETA has more than 2 million followers on Facebook and nearly a half million on Twitter, for example, versus 130,000 and 1700, respectively, for the Foundation for Biomedical Research. As a result, the researchers speculate, these organizations may getting their message out more effectively, especially among young people.See more of our coverage from AAAS 2014.See more ScienceShots.

Texas Sen. John Cornyn blasted the Obama administration's challenge of the state's voter ID law and accused Attorney General Eric Holder of politicizing the issue for the Democrat's benefits.
Cornyn, who previously served as the state's attorney general, said Texans "deserve not to be insulted by a Justice Department committed to scoring cheap political points."
"Facts mean little to a politicized Justice Department bent on inserting itself into the sovereign affairs of Texas and a lame-duck Administration trying to turn our state blue.
The Department of Justice announced Thursday that it would challenge the state's law requiring voters to show ID before casting a ballot. Texas revived the law after the Supreme Court decided in June to invalidate a key part of the Voting Rights Act that required states to seek approval from the federal government before tweaking election laws.
"Today's action marks another step forward in the Justice Department's continuing effort to protect the voting rights of all eligible Americans," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement. "We will not allow the Supreme Court's recent decision to be interpreted as open season for states to pursue measures that suppress voting rights.
The department also announced a challenge to Texas' 2011 redistricting plans, which it says "were adopted with the purpose of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race, color, or membership in a language minority group."
The complaint accuses Texas leadership of allowing "persistent, intentional discrimination in voting."
Roger Williams, another Republican from Texas, took to Twitter to condemn the move.
DOJ lawsuit against Texas Voter ID is another partisan political attack by the Obama administration. http://t.co/9bBpXsI41q

One of this year's most popular Japanese anime is Attack on Titan. The show isn't only popular at home in Japan, but also in other countries, including China. There, the anime's opening recently became a focus of internet controversy.
A Hunan TV talent show called Happy Man Voice: Super Boy used featured a segment called "Attack of the Beautiful Men" that looked incredibly similar to the original Attack on Titan opening.
Here is the original Attack on Titan opening.
Here is the clip from Happy Man Voice: Super Boy.
Comparisons between the two (Attack on Titan is on the top of each image set).
Online in China and Japan, people are calling the show a shameless rip-off. Others are saying this is just a parody. Some anime fans in China seem pretty ticked off!
"Hunan satellite TV is just garbage," wrote one net user on Chinese microblogging site Weibo, while another chimed in, "You call these men beautiful? Don't stain the name of my Attack on Titan."
Happy Man Voice does seem to use the Attack on Titan theme song, so unless the program licensed that, it could soon be facing an attack of lawyers.

Ski and après ski tourism in Spain
Spain is the perfect country for indulging your passion for sport. As well as hosting major sporting events, it also offers unique areas where you can enjoy everything from extreme sports to other more relaxing activities for the whole family.
Sierra Nevada
The first snows usually come to Spain in late November/early December. This is when the country's 34 ski resorts get up and running. Mountain passes and snow-covered valleys, along with facilities which are constantly being refurbished to provide enthusiasts with a whole range of exciting options after a day's sport. Spain's ski resorts all offer excellent infrastructure and transport links. The chance to enjoy other outdoor sports in the countryside, cultural routes, history, art, leisure, unique mountain villages and delicious gastronomy will make a skiing holiday to Spain all the more pleasurable.
In general, all of Spain's ski resorts are characterised by their excellent location, as well as good transport connections and services. Facilities designed to satisfy skiers' requirements before, during and after the runs. Enthusiasts of this age-old sport can choose the type of Spanish resort best suited to their preferences. The largest resorts are Formigal, in the Aragón Pyrenees; Baqueira Beret, in the Catalan Pyrenees, and Sierra Nevada, in Andalusia. The rest are scattered across different parts of the country, and are ideal for longer stays and for those who want to combine skiing with other activities.
Sport, art and countryside in the Catalan Pyrenees
The10 ski resorts in the Pyrenean Mountains in Catalonia offer more than four hundred kilometres of marked ski-runs. Beginners, more advanced skiers and experts all flock to this resort, surrounded by peaks reaching more than 3,000 metres above sea level, and offering a privileged setting which provides the ideal conditions for conserving its high quality snow throughout the season.
The main resorts are centred around the Arán Valley, Boí Valley, the area around the Aigüestortes i Estani de Sant Maurici Nature Reserve, and the Cerdanya region. These are areas of extraordinary beauty, home to cosy mountain villages with unique traditional architecture and monuments. Artíes, Salardú and Boí Taüll, amongst others, have a large number of examples of Spanish Romanesque art. The towns and villages close to the resorts also have numerous companies and facilities offering other activities such as ice skating, hot air balloon flights, white water rafting, hiking, horse riding, canyoning, climbing and kayaking.
Fun and skiing in the Aragón Pyrenees
The resorts of Astún, Candanchú, Cerler, Formigal, Panticosa-Los Lagos, Javalambre, Valdelinares, Candanchú (cross country) and Llanos del Hospital are have a particularly young and sporty atmosphere. They are all close together and surrounded by stunning Pyrenean landscapes –the Aragón Mountains reach heights of more than 3,000 metres above sea level. Excellent communications with Madrid Airport mean that you can get here from the capital in just three and a half hours.
When you've finished on the slopes, you will find a wide range of leisure activities on offer in the town of Jaca, the main point of entry to the Aragón Pyrenees. Recommended visits are: the Cathedral, Spain's oldest in the Romanesque style; Santa María en Santa Cruz de la Serós Church and other examples of Romanesque art such as the Monastery of San Juan de la Peña and the Church of Santa María de Iguacel, which has the Cultural Property designation. Also worthwhile is a visit to the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park. In Benasque, close to Cerler, there are plenty of excellent restaurants and cafés, as well as lively bars and clubs, open into the early hours.
Sun and snow
Sierra Nevada is one of Spain's best ski resorts. Its altitude means that snow is guaranteed throughout the season. Its international fame, proximity to the coast and excellent weather have made it a popular winter destination for many European skiers.
The lifts are only twenty-five minutes from Granada, so many skiers who head down to enjoy one of the most important monument cities in Europe, home to the Generalife gardens and the Alhambra palace, a real gem of Hispano-Muslim architecture. Also recommended is a visit to the Albaicín, the old Arab quarter which has the World Heritage designation; also the Plaza Nueva Square and the Sacromonte neighbourhood, where you can still see old gypsy cave-houses and experience the distinctive flamenco spirit.
Family skiing
Along the Cantabrian coast you'll find the resorts of Leitariegos, Manzaneda, Fuentes de Invierno, San Isidro, Valgrande-Pajares and Alto Campoo, ideal for family skiing and for nature lovers in general, with numerous options for cultural trips to the cities of León and Santiago de Compostela, along with routes where you can savour the famous cuisine of Galicia and Asturias, specialising in fish and shellfish. Also of interest are visits to the beautiful glacial lakes of Isoba and Ausente, the Valporquero Caves and the Somiedo Nature Reserve, amongst others.
The facilities on offer in the Sistema Ibérico Mountains are ideal for beginners and for skiing in peaceful surroundings. Close by, in the Region of La Rioja, you'll find the monasteries of San Millán de la Cogolla and Valvanera, both well worth visiting. Ezcaray is the closest village to the resort of Valdezcaray, and has good restaurants where you can sample the excellent wines of La Rioja.
The modern lifts at La Covatilla, in the Sierra de Béjar Mountains, and the resorts of La Pinilla, Navacerrada and Valdesquí are also easy to access. The slopes here are ideal for enjoying a combination of skiing and cultural tourism in the nearby cities: Segovia, Avila, Salamanca and Zamora. These resorts are very popular with skiers and non-skiers alike on account of their proximity to Madrid.
Wherever you are in Spain, when the snow starts falling you're sure to find somewhere to enjoy your favourite winter sport. Peaks, slopes, ski-runs and lifts for all kinds of skiers and tastes, in perfect harmony with the surrounding landscapes and environment.

In compliance with Governor Evers' Executive Order, the Kemper Center and
Anderson Arts Center will remain closed until April 24, at which time the
situation will be reassessed and a determination to reopen or remain closed
will be made.
A Full-Service, Multifunctional Arts Center
its opening in April, 1992, the Anderson Arts Center has welcomed
thousands of visitors. The 9,000 square foot mansion that houses
the Arts Center began life as a private residence, a fact that still
fascinates new visitors to the facility. The majestic ceilings and
large, open expanses of wall space, which were distinctive features
of the mansion, now lend themselves perfectly to the display of
art work.
In its history, the Anderson Arts Center has evolved into a full-service, multifunctional arts center, showcasing the work of a variety of local, regional and national artists. The center offers over 25 different art exhibitions a year. One aspect of this evolutionary process has been the ever-growing commitment to the artistic nurturing of the areas youngest artists. Almost since its inception, the entire West Wing of the Anderson Arts Center has been devoted to the display of artwork done by students attending area schools. Every summer, children can attend Art Camps sponsored by the Arts Center. A full slate of art classes including painting, drawing, cartooning, puppet making, sculpting, fiber art and more are offered throughout the school-year on Saturdays at Kids Space, on the Kemper Center campus.

The most crucial burn to your new candle is its first one. This is what is known as a memory burn. The initial burn is the one that is most vital to a complete melt pool. And, even more importantly a memory burn in the candle is the one that sets the boundaries and scent throw for every burn after that.
To Create Your Memory Burn
Never leave a burning candle unattended. A good rule of thumb to prepare for your memory burn is to know the diameter of your candle. For every inch in diameter that your candle is wide, you need to gauge one hour of burn time. So, if your candle is 3 inches wide; you need to be able to burn your candle the first time for at least 3 hours. So, for the memory burn, it is important to start it when you

Matson, Inc. announced today that Matson Navigation Company, Inc. (Matson) will raise its rates for the company's Hawaii service by $175 per westbound container and $85 per eastbound container, effective January 1, 2013.
The increase will be filed with the Surface Transportation Board. In addition, Matson will raise its terminal handling charge by $50 per westbound container and $25 per eastbound container, also effective January 1, 2013. Matson estimates that the combined increase of both the rate adjustment and terminal handling charge will result in shipping costs rising by an average of 5.6 percent. Historically, Matson announced average percentage increases based solely on the rate increase, excluding terminal handling charges. As of last year, it is now combing both numbers for the average percent increase in the interest of greater transparency.
"This rate increase will help offset rises in operating costs and support ongoing investments in our Hawaii service," said Dave Hoppes, senior vice president, ocean services. "This rate adjustment is consistent with our longstanding philosophy of implementing modest, incremental increases as necessary to maintain the highest levels of service. Matson continues to diligently look for ways to operate the most efficient, cost effective service possible, without undercutting our standards of quality. In the past decade, Matson has invested nearly $1 billion in four new containerships, fleet enhancements, new container equipment, information technology and upgrades to its terminal facilities. Matson remains committed to continuing to make long term investments that will provide the state with a strong ocean transportation infrastructure."
Matson's terminal handling charge was first implemented in 2003 and is designed to recover a portion of the costs associated with the movement of cargo through terminals. This charge is standard in the industry and appears as a separate line item at the bottom of the company's freight bills.
"Terminal handling costs comprise approximately 40 percent of Matson's operating costs," said Hoppes. "Matson continues to absorb a substantial amount of the expenses associated with terminal operations, the majority of which are driven by factors that are outside of our control."

I have so much to share but this is one of the most exciting moments of my trip to Miami. Prince Royce, one of my favorite singers, gave a shout out to Latinaish.com from the red carpet of the Latin Billboard Music Awards. This was so kind of him, (and qué cute!)
And I'm not sure if that's me gasping at the end or one of my amigas blogueras. It was probably me because I still feel like gasping every time I watch the video and hear him say the name of my own blog. I can't tell you how surreal it is to stand face-to-face with famous people you admire. More to come soon!

Photo Gallery: Peter Fallico's Backyard
HGTV host Peter Fallico envisioned his 20-by-50 foot backyard as an extension of his kitchen and an entertaining-friendly outdoor space. With the help of Toronto's Fossil Landscapes, he transformed his urban yard into a contemporary open-air party room. A cedar patio deck with a horizontal fence invites guests to linger over drinks, while a lower stone terrace provides a more formal dining area, leading to a garden path beyond.
This outdoor makeover creates a sophisticated space for barbecues and cocktail parties.
Peter's backyard design is comprised of two distinct entertaining zones: a tiered cedar deck outfitted with a bar-lounge and a ground-level dining area on an interlocking stone terrace. The planter closest to the house can be filled with ice and used to chill drinks.
A slatted cedar patio table on the stone terrace invites guests to dine in style.
With its Tuscan countryside look, the dining area almost belies its urban surroundings. Trees lining the space offer privacy and create an intimate setting. A firebowl in the foreground takes off the night chill on the cedar deck.
Looking for ideas on how to make a garden path? Evoke a modern English garden with stone and greenery.
The interlocking tumbled-concrete path is lined with boxwood hedging and vibrant annuals, backed by a row of aromatic cedars.
Plan a modern patio design with clean lines and a horizontal cedar fence.
Peter and friends savour a summer evening outdoors on his roomy cedar deck. A copper Turkish grill creates a cosy atmosphere.

Fifth International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders
25 October – 5 November 2010
Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland
Organised by the ILC GDE, CLIC and ICFA Beam Dynamics Panel
This school is a continuation of the series of schools started four years ago (2006 in Japan, 2007 in Italy, 2008 in the US and 2009 in China). Based on the needs from the high-energy physics community, the ILC GDE, CLIC and ICFA Beam Dynamics Panel will organise a Fifth International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders. The focus of the school will be on TeV-scale linear colliders including the International Linear Collider (ILC), the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) and the muon collider. The target students are graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior researchers from around the world. We welcome applications from physicists who are considering changing their career from experimental physics to accelerator physics. This school is adopting an in depth approach. Therefore, former students are welcome to apply if they have a compelling reason to do so. The school will be in lecture style. There will be homework assignments and a final examination, but no university credit will be offered.
- Overview of TeV-scale future lepton colliders (ILC, CLIC and the muon collider)
- Accelerator physics for sources, damping rings, linacs and beam delivery system
- Super conducting and warm RF technology, LLRF and high power RF
Important notes
- Maximum number of students is 70.
- Students will receive financial aid for covering the expenses for attending this school, including airfare, lodging, meals, local transportation and school supplies.
- Application qualification: graduate students, post doctoral fellows, junior researchers.
- Former students are allowed to apply.
- Online registration only.
- Requirements: registration form, CV, one recommendation letter.
- Registration fee: free.

ELECTRIC CO. v. DOW.
166 U.S. 489 (17 S.Ct. 645, 41 L.Ed. 1088)
ELECTRIC CO. v. DOW.
No. 258.
Decided: April 19, 1897
- opinion, SHIRAS [HTML]
This was a writ of error to reverse a judgment of the supreme court of New Hampshire against the Electric Company, a corporation of the state of New Hampshire, the plaintiff in error, upon a petition filed by Samuel I. Dow for the assessment of damages occasioned to his land by an overflow caused by a dam erected by the defendant company in the Piscataqua river. The defendant company also filed a petition praying for an inquisition into the question of damages. The proceedings were had under the general mill act of that state, approved July 3, 1868. Both parties elected trial by jury, which resulted in a verdict for Dow in the sum of $1,500. The plaintiff moved that 50 per cent. be added to the amount of the verdict, in pursuance of a provision of the statute which is as follows:
'If either party shall so elect, said court shall direct an issue to the jury to try the facts alleged in the said petition and assess the damages; and judgment rendered on the verdict of such jury, with fifty per cent. added, shall be final, and said court may award costs to either party at its discretion.'
The defendant objected to this motion on the ground that said provision of the statute requiring the court to add 50 per cent. to the damages assessed by the jury was in violation of the constitution of the United States. The question thus raised was reserved by the trial judge, and certified to the law term of the supreme court of the state, which overruled the defendant's contention; and judgment was accordingly entered in the supreme court for the amount of the verdict, with 50 per cent. added, and costs, to review which this writ of error was sued out.
H. E. Loveren, for plaintiff in error.
Henry M. Baker, for defendant in error.
Mr. Justice SHIRAS, after stating the facts in the foregoing language, delivered the opinion of the court.
We agree with the supreme court of New Hampshire in thinking that the plaintiff in error, by availing itself of the power conferred by the statute, and joining in a trial for the assessment of the damages, is precluded from denying the validity of that provision which prescribes that 50 per cent. shall be added to the amount of the verdict. The act confers a privilege, which the plaintiff in error was at liberty to exercise or not as it thought fit.
Clay v. Smith, 3 Pet. 411, was a case where the plaintiff below, a citizen of the state of Kentucky, instituted a suit against the defendant, a citizen of the state of Louisiana, for the recovery of a debt incurred in 1808; and the defendant pleaded his discharge by the bankrupt law of Louisiana in 1811, under which, according to the provisions of the law, 'as well his person as his future effects' were forever discharged from all the claims of his creditors. Under this law the plaintiff, whose debt was specified in the list of the defendant's creditors, received a dividend of 10 per cent. on his debt, declared by the assignees of the defendant. It was held by this court that the plaintiff, by voluntarily making himself a party to those proceedings, abandoned his extraterritorial immunity from the operation of the bankrupt law of Louisiana, and was bound by that law to the same extent to which the citizens of Louisiana were bound.
In Beaupr e v. Noyes, 138 U. S. 397, 11 Sup. Ct. 296, a similar question was presented. There it was contended on behalf of creditors, the plaintiffs in error, that an alleged assignment was conclusively fraudulent as to them for want of an immediate delivery, followed by an actual and continued change of possession, of the goods assigned; that their right so to treat the assignment, although such right was specially set up and claimed, was denied; and that, consequently, they were denied a right arising under an authority exercised under the United States. But this court said:
'Whether the state court so interpreted the territorial statute as to deny such right to the plaintiffs in error, we need not inquire; for it proceeded, in part, upon another and distinct ground, not involving any federal question, and sufficient in itself to maintain the judgment without reference to that question. That ground is that there was evidence tending to show that the plaintiffs in error acquiesced in and assented to all that was done, and waived any irregularity in the mode in which the assignee conducted the business, and that the question whether they so acquiesced and assented with knowledge of all the facts, and thereby waived their right to treat the assignment as fraudulent, was properly submitted to the jury. The state court evidently intended to hold that, even if the assignment was originally fraudulent as against the creditors, it was competent for the plaintiffs in error to waive the fraud and treat the assignment as valid for all the purposes specified in it. That view does not involve a federal question. Whether sound or not, we do not inquire. It is broad enough in itself to support the final judgment without reference to the federal question.'
In July, 1887, William J. Eustis brought an action in the supreme judicial court of Massachusetts against Bolles and Wilde, wherein he sought to recover the balance on a note remaining unpaid after the receipt of one-half received under insolvency proceedings under a state act passed after the creation of the debt. The defendants pleaded the proceedings in insolvency, their offer of composition, its acceptance by the majority in number and value of their cerditors, their discharge, and the acceptance by Eustis of the amount coming to him under the offer of composition. To this answer the plaintiff demurred. The trial court, which overruled the demurrer, made a finding of facts, and reported the case for the determination of the full court.
The supreme judicial court was of opinion that Eustis, by accepting the benefit of the composition, had waived any right that he might otherwise have had to object to the validity of the composition statute as impairing the obligation of a contract made before its enactment. 146 Mass. 413, 16 N. E. 286.
The case was brought to this court, where it was argued on behalf of the plaintiff in error that a composition act was, as to debts existing prior to its passage, void and in contravention of the constitution of the United States, and that a creditor, where demand is saved from the operation of a state statute or of a state decree by the constitution of the United States, does not waive the benefit of this constitutional immunity by accepting the part of his demand which the state statute or decree says shall constitute full satisfaction.
This court held that the supreme judicial court of Massachusetts, in holding that, when the composition was confirmed, Eustis was put to his election whether he would avail himself of the composition offer, or would reject it and rely upon his right to enforce his debt against his debtors notwithstanding their discharge, did not decide a federal question, and that hence the question as to the constitutionality of the state statute did not arise. Eustis v. Bolles, 150 U. S. 361, 14 Sup. Ct. 131.
The plaintiff in error accepted the powers and rights conferred by the act of 1868, and joined in the proceedings for the assessment of damages. It must therefore be deemed to have agreed that the damages should be assessed in the manner provided for in the act. At all events, the supreme court of the state has so decided; and, as its judgment was not based on any federal question, we have no jurisdiction to review it, and the writ of error is accordingly dismissed.

A Beautiful Night in ParisWe winged our way from Sydney to Paris for a memorable night on the 18th September. Too many highlights...just taking in the atmosphere of 97,000 passionate U2 fans was just breathtaking. I was hanging out for the new song Glastonbury, but hearing Mercy was, well, spinetingling. Looking forward to seeing the show again in Melbourne and Sydney in a couple of weeks. All you Aussies and Kiwies who have not yet experienced the 360 tour...stand by to be blown away! It's just an extrordinary concert experience.

Dreams do come trueI was lucky enough to see this amazing band at the Wembley Stadium 15th August 2009....I travelled all the way to see this show from little old New Zealand.....am now counting the sleeps to see them in Auckland...ABOSLUTE AMAZING SHOW..
04 November, 2010
From Ottawa to RomeWhen the North American leg of the tour was postponed till next summer, we couldn't wait. So we traveled to Rome to see U2 on my 52nd birthday. U2 delivered a great show and a memorable birthday gift. Thanks to the band and everyone else that makes U2 what they are. Cheers, Wayne and Caroline Ottawa, Canada

Poor soundI enjoyed Turin. Rome's sound was inferior. If fact, Turin was miles better.

Unofrgettable night""""""I couldn't mss the U2 Show in Rome. What an exciting evening!!! A magic moment was to see Bono let the Stadio Olimpico sing half of the song "I still haven't found what I am looking for", put his hand over his hearth and thank the fans. What to say about Sunday bloody Sunday addressed to all those people who fight for justice and peace, like Aung San Suu Kyi Thanks U2. I hope to see you soon once more in Rome
14 October, 2010
Pure PassionI just got back home to Los Angeles last night from a very special trip to Rome for the U2 concert. My husband is from Rome so of course when the date was announced I knew we would be there. I truly feel privileged to have experienced the love of the Italian fans for U2 and their music. What an extraordinary concert. Hard to put into words the emotion and feelings that all experienced. The entire Stadio Olimpico was pulsating and giving passionate loving energy to the band and the band responded in kind. I was mesmerized by the singing and clapping all evening. The fan choreography was so special. Bono's amazing emotional reaction will always be remembered as he stopped singing- with his hand over his heart. I was so touched. Then to hear BAD with the snippet of All I want is You was even more of a special gift. Thank you U2 and thanks to all of the passionate Italian fans who made this concert so memorable and magical.
14 October, 2010
unforgettable!Thanks to everyboby for this magic night! Grazie ragazzi per l'emozione che mi avete regalato...Rimarrà per sempre nel mio cuore!Ero un puntino bianco della bandiera Irlandese.. e siamo stati tutti contenti di regalavi questo piccolo dono!! perché siete GRANDI!

U2 8 October 2010 Concert in the EternalHere we are, three guys with a common passion in his heart: U2! We started at 4 am on the road to reach the goal so eagerly awaited: the Olympic Stadium! The date of Rome, the last leg of a sensational tour was for the four boys from Dublin a memorable evening. U2 with Rome, with Italy, a special relationship ... of brotherhood, are surrounded by a special atmosphere every time. The stadium is filled with hour after hour up to 75,000 people ... all ready to watch the show that U2 are about to give and it will be hard to forget. Everything flows like a movie where in between is the most exciting moment: the choreography that leaves everyone speechless! That written huge, ONE, and the two flags on the corners of the stadium make it symbolize the union of two countries without distinction of sex, race and religion. The evening ends in the best of ways with the band excited to greet everyone. Thanks to U2 have lived a dream that finally came true. The row made by the morning at 10 we are rewarded in the best way, it is worth it. For U2 gets all this and more. God bless U2. Franciesco
13 October, 2010
An emotion called U2!!!The best concert ever! All together as ONE! United IN THE NAME OF LOVE for U2!... What a wonderful dream! The most memorable moment was the coreography moment!! It was great to see the band get excited!!! A night that I'll never forget!! Thank you Bono, Adam, Edge and Larry! Thank you so much for the music, for the joy, for the energy, for the thrills and everything else! I love you with all my heart!!!! - Mary from Naples -

Luca!!!
13 October, 2010
Still on a high!Unbelievable gig - the atmosphere was electric (even if the band were late as usual!). The flags looked amazing and the band are on fire at the moment - the show is better than last year due to getting rid of some of the weak songs from the recent album and introducing great new tunes like Mercy and Return of the Stingray Guitar, as well as rare classics like Miss Sarajevo and Hold me, thrill me..both of which were highights from the show, though I have to agree that the best moment was the unexpected Bad/All I want is you..AMAZING!! The Aussies and Kiwis are in for a treat with the band in this sort of form :-)
12 October, 2010
The unforgettable showU2 give us an amazing evening as usual.... Every moment has been fantastic especially during the coreography with flags (a very special moment...) Every show by U2 is an experience that everyone should live during his life! I loved the mix of Bad and All I want is you in particular but also the Bono's thrilling performance in Miss Sarajevo. Thanks to the band for giving us these unforgettable moments.

WOW!!!Rome Olympic Stadium 8th October 2010 was stunning in every way. U2 were breath taking and the crowd amazing. I am so glad i was there to witness it. I am so proud to be a U2 fan and bono seriously how could we ever forget U2 its just not possible.
12 October, 2010
Waiting for your next european tourThank you to you, U2 ... you're my life band! I am the same age of you, I go with you throughout my life since I was 20 ... we're still growing up together!! Rome .... I still feel so stirred up!!!!! Great concert, great atmosphere ... I was in Turin too! Unforgettable concerts, them both! Moment of surrender is the perfect closing: very touching, wonderful lyrics, very suitable song for such an exciting concert! Very good job, folks!!!
12 October, 2010
COMPLIMENTS AND CRITICSGreat concert, great stage, grate atmosphere BUT: for me moment of surrender is not the ideal song for ending a concert, she is beautiful almost so sad... for Mercy i still prefer something more of the demo 2004 version because, because..now the song has lost more of her epic taste. Personally i will prefer for next tour a more intimate mature u2 show that not must be a mainstream.
11 October, 2010
Grazie Roma, Grazie U2This concert was a perfect ending of a 2 day visit to Rome, as my wife and I were celebrating 5 years of marriage on the day! Thank you guys for giving us such a great present! Our special moment was the fantastic performance of "Miss Sarajevo". Bono did a wunderfull job and at a certain moment I thought Pavarotti would enter the stage and sing with Bono! Thks U2 for just making music!

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Sen. Larry George says he'll leave the Oregon Legislature after the 2014 election.
The two-term Republican from Sherwood announced Tuesday that he won't seek re-election next year.
George has been one of the most visible Republicans in the Senate. This year he was a driving force behind a successful Senate GOP push to cut taxes for certain types of corporations.
George says in a statement that he's been married and had two children since first elected, "and this is the time in our life for family."
George and his brother own a hazelnut processing company.
Republican Rep. Kim Thatcher of Keizer announced that she would seek George's Senate seat, and conservative talk-show host Bill Post said he plans to run for Thatcher's seat in the House.

We're gonna just keep it simple around here today. It's just a few days away from August and now is the time for the fullest expression of our summer wardrobes. I spent part of this last week in New York, and had one of my few chances to wear actual Summer clothing. (For those of you who are new here . . . it's regularly no warmer than the mid 60's or 70's here in San Francisco in the summer. And yes, I wore a wool sweater to work on Thursday.)
So, let's break out the madras . . . and the fun, bright colours . . . and party like it's summer.
|SMW Design, East Hampton Residence
One of the highlights of last week's visit to New York was a private tour of The Cary Collection. It's a dense, but highly curated, collection of antiques and memorabilia. Vintage clothing. First edition books. And amazing objet.

Uberware necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 273 diseños de 64 diseñadores freelance.
Uberware Ltd
Design Brief
The company is called Uber-ware and the URL will be http://www.uber-ware.co.uk. We are an online retailer of gaming PCs.
We are looking for a logo/identity for a new UK based high-end/gaming PC company. The company is heavily geared
towards gaming and although open to interpretation our thoughts are along the WW2, German, Tanks, blue prints, etc.
feel as this works with the name. These elements may be more at home in the overall site design which will come
later so the logo will need to work with this overall look and feel. The look and feel is something that players of
Call of Duty and other WW2 FPS games will be familiar with. For a normal company this may be too harsh,
controversial or aggressive but given our target audience and the nature of the product it would seem to fit well.
Target audience
Our target audience is 80% male with knowledge of the PC hardware industry, with large disposable incomes. They are
of an average age range of 21-36.
Brands we like:
Call of Duty series - Is a popular series and one of the inspirations for the brand, very good artwork and websites
http://www.companyofheroes.com - Again is a inspiration for the brand, good looking sites.
Battlefield series - Battlefield 1942 inparticular
Close Combat series - Very WW2 gritty looking series of games, the maps are very on concept.
Brands we don't like:
http://www.beastcomputers.co.uk - In my opinion a bad looking site we want our brand to look different to the competition
http://www.overclockers.co.uk - Is looking a bit retro 90s and dated now, keep away from this type of thing
http://www.dell.co.uk - Our cheif competitors really dell and alienware need to stand massively apart from us brand wise
The logo will be used primarily on the website but later to brand PCs with enamel badges and other marketing
activity. The company will utilise a strong social media strategy and will therefore utilise Twitter and Facebook
pages as well.
Brand guidelines
As a new brand there are no existing guidelines to work with for colours or fonts.
Finished logo in print format (AI files in CMYK)
Finished logo in screen format (layered PSD and JPG)

Horrible company who won't port out your number -- as required by law -- when you try and leave. Been trying to get a number away from them for over 2 weeks now, and not happy with them passing the blame to others.
Customer for over 3 years. When it works, it's great, but you can expect issues several times a year and they can be catastrophic when they occur. Unfortunately, customer service is email only - you get an instant reply that they acknowledge the inquiry, but days go by without a response or solution. My last issue lasted 4 days and by pure luck, I found a disgruntled former customer who had the same problem who posted the fix before leaving them. I have done the same. They are old and tired and there are better solutions out there.

Let's talk about beet love.
The thing about beets is this: People tend to either devour them with joyful greed, like a dog might Hoover up a hunk of smoked turkey bacon off the floor, or spit them out in disgust after mistaking their glistening, jeweled beauty for some kind of exotic fruit. There's no middle ground, no room for wishy-washy ambivalence when it comes to loving beets.
In the history of me, there was a time when I belonged to the latter camp. I found the curiously earthy nature of beets overwhelmingly and distractingly….dirty. Because let's face it – along with the surprising sugary-sweetness of beets is the underlying, penetrating flavor of the earth in which they grow.
That combination of dirty-sweetness is kind of what I imagined a wad of mud rolled in honey might taste like.
It wasn't until I worked the salad station in a restaurant kitchen that I became attached to beets in a more sensory way. One of the dishes I was responsible for was a salad topped with goat cheese and balsamic marinated roasted beets. I roasted, peeled and chopped umpteen pounds of beets, staining my hands a startling shade of magenta. I tossed and tasted all those beets to make sure they were cooked and seasoned just right.
Maybe it was that day-to-day intimacy with beets that converted me in the end, but I came around. I crossed over to the world of beet love.
I still prefer roasting to any other method of cooking beets; probably because it's so easy to wrap them up and stick them in a hot oven, where they pretty much take care of business all by themselves. And I can't resist beets that are colored vivid orange or the gorgeous candy-striped Chioggia varieties.
Beets have a particular affinity for things tangy; like fresh soft goat cheese, mild vinegars and citrus juices, making them perfect for salads.
I hesitate to call the following a recipe. Consider it more of a method, to ready your beets for a simple toss with olive oil, some fresh herbs, and your tangy ingredient of choice.
Simply Roasted Beet Salad with Fresh Mint
To roast your beets, trim off the greens (save those if they are in good shape and chop some up for your salad) and place them on a sheet of aluminum foil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and a little drizzle of olive oil.
Roast at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. You'll know they're just about done when the kitchen takes on a pleasing aroma and the beets offer no resistance when you poke a sharp knife into them.
Let them cool a bit before slipping off the skin and slicing.
Toss the beets with some of your best olive oil, salt and pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon or orange juice. Sprinkle with chopped mint, some crumbled goat cheese and serve over salad greens.

Brad Lazarus necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 144 diseños de 39 diseñadores freelance.
We are two business partners one with a career as a artiste manager in the music business and the other as a bandleader in a successful function band playing high level corporate events, award ceremonies, gala dinners etc. The combination of our experience and skills set gives us unique insight into the provision of live entertainment for the private and corporate events market and postions us to help both entertainer and users to connect directly.
Our new web startup, EventsJam, will bring event entertainers of all genres, from rock bands to swing bands to circus performers to magicians direct to event organisers together with clients directly. Anyone organising an event from Corporate companies to brides will be able to browse, choose and connect with these entertainers without the need for a third party entertainment agent.
We are looking for a logo for EventsJam. A few things to consider:
1. The logo must have a upper case E and J and other letters lower case.
2. We do not want all upper case or all lower case.
3. The logo must be one word ie no space between events and jam
4. A neat typeface logo is required with an accompanying icon
5. We are open to "manipulation" of the text eg http://www.hubspot.com
6. The business is in essence a web base application so the logo should reflect a clean a simple look but have a definite character of its own rather than something that's too simple eg. http://www.wordtracker.com.
7. While it needs to be clean and simple it does need to reflect an entertainment based product so needs an element of flair and 'pzazz'
Colour - see the attached screen shot of the draft homepage design with agreed colour scheme. It is self explanatory where the logo will need to go ie on a black background.
Some likes and dislikes:
don't like:
http://www.universalattractions.com - too busy
do like:
http://www.alivenetwork.com - distinctive icon is good

"I have ten blokes working for me, giving them a camera to use is like giving them an extra qualification. Not only do my clients trust them more but they're willing to pay more for the service. I'll be getting me another one in the next few months for sure."
"I'm a plumber with a camera business and I bought the ELS because I had to. My clients kept on asking for it and I was getting tired of losing jobs and paying other blokes my hard earned dollars because I didn't have one. I tell you what though, I'm glad I bought it when I did… It's been unreal for business. The quality is exceptional and the amount of follow-on work I get from it is unbelievable. And what's more I'm not losing jobs or clients to other plumbers anymore."
Working with Austeck has been fantastic. One of the smartest business moves I've made…almost every camera job has lead to follow on work, like sewer re-lays!
"I've been very happy with the reliability and service from Austeck – I have found the T804 to be user friendly. Because the T804 is really compact it's made those hard to get to areas a breeze compared to the other equipment I've used in the past. It's made life a lot easier"
"Where I work I need reliability and durability with quality reporting. I needed a system that is tough, durable and could deliver clear and accurate reports! The T804 has enabled me to deliver all of this and more. Both the client and I have certainty of job closure. I have no hesitation in recommending the T804 to any plumber who's looking to grow their business."
"The downtime on services is next to nothing…I'm usually in and out and back on the road within the hour"
"I've had the T804 for the last 2 years and use it almost every day, it's what my business and the market is demanding – reliability, quality of reporting and service. It's been fantastic."
"I got my first ELS camera unit from Austeck two and a half years ago, and once the lease is up in March I'll be fitting out another truck with another ELS camera unit for sure!"
"I started leasing the flexiprobe ELS system thorough Austeck two weeks ago. Since then I have done over 8 jobs with the camera and through word of mouth have drummed up over 4 jobs for next week alone…"
"Since I bought my ELS camera my work load has increased so much I've had to put on another guy just to keep up… The way things are going, I will be buying another ELS camera very soon."
"The ELS has been great for business; it's definitely more reliable than any other system I've tried – A real winner in my book!"
"Three years ago I bought my first Pearpoint flexiprobe system and since then have bought three more. I picked up my fourth system only two weeks ago and if business keeps on at this rate I'll get another one before too long. The performance and reliability of these cameras is excellent and I wouldn't recommend anything else."
"I've been in the camera game for as long as it's been around and for my money nothing compares to the ELS. I picked up one a couple of months ago and haven't looked back since. The difference between it and other cameras I've seen is… well, it's like chalk and cheese. Nothing else out there is as compact or easy to use. It's a great little unit."
"I'd already invested in a competitor product so the decision to upgrade to the T804 didn't come easily. But, I'm sure glad I did! The functionality and sheer reliability of the product has been fantastic. I know what I'll be investing in in the future."
"I've only had my ELS camera for a few months and, although I was hesitant at first, I wish I'd started years ago… The camera jobs already account for over one third of my business!"
"I haven't had it long but so far it's a little ripper! It's performed beyond all expectations, worth every penny…I'm absolutely wrapped!"
This camera is head and shoulders above the rest. Worth every cent!
"I first started using the ELS about 8 months ago and since then, with all the Sydney Water contracts out at the moment, have done over 5000 house service lines, about 30 a day, no joke! And that's through the trap and all! The ELS is by far the toughest, most durable, reliable, easy to use piece of camera gear I've ever used. I honestly can't say enough about it."

Welcome to PWInsider.com's live, ongoing coverage of ROH Final Battle 2011 where we'll have segment-by-segment updates throughout the course of the event. For information on ordering the iPPV stream, click on the poster above.
Preshow Notes
At least one former ROH titleholder will be appearing on tonight's show.
Tonight's iPPV is being directed by Dan Bynum, who also directs the TV show on Sinclair, and this is the first ROH iPPV not directed by Dave Lagana.
Bobby Cruise welcomes the fans at the Hammerstein Ballroom and is joined in the ring by Jim Cornette, Joe Koff, Cary Silkin, Kevin Kelly, and Nigel McGuinness. The crowd starts a very loud ROH chant, and then Bobby Cruise introduces each of the folks in the ring while we count down to the beginning of the iPPV.
Kevin and Nigel do the proper introduction to the iPPV crowd, then introduce Executive Producer Jim Cornette, who lets us know that they set a record live gate and, based on preliminary numbers, this show will be viewed live by more people than any other ROH event in history. He then turns the intro over to ROH Founder Cary Silkin and COO Joe Koff, who thanks everyone for coming out and wishes everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and also Festivus for the rest of us.
Michael Elgin vs TJ Perkins
They tie up and Elgin casually tosses Perkins across the ring, but Perkins ducks a charge and fires in some kicks to Elgin that have no effect. Shoulderblock has no effect as well, but Perkins slides between the legs of Elgin and dropkicks him out to the floor. Perkins goes for a dive, but Elgin moves out of the way so Perkins swings through the ropes and comes down on his feet on the apron and he tries a somersault dive, but Elgin catches him and rams him clear across ringside and into the barricade. They head back in where Perkins fires off some weak right hands, but Elgin easily pounds him down and tries a charge, only to be met with a superkick. Perkins goes for a spinning headscissors, but Elgin again catches Perkins in mid-move and pops him up into the air for a flapjack that gets 2. Elgin gets a bearhug from behind on Perkins and then tries to toss him through the ropes, Perkins dangles himself between the ropes but gets shoved into the ring by Truth Martini. Elgin pops Perkins into the air but Perkins counters to a really impressive headscissors that sends Elgin out to the floor and Perkins follows out with a dive. They head back in where Perkins gets a top rope dropkick for 2, Elgin no-sells a sunset flip and tries a vertical splash, Perkins dodges and hits a twisting senton for 2. Perkins goes to the top rope but Elgin catches him with a right hand and sets for a superplex, but Perkins fights him off and tries a flying shoulderblock, but Elgin catches him in midair right into a vertical suplex for 2. Elgin with a swinging backbreaker and Shock Treatment for 2, but Perkins surprises him with a hanging neckbreaker. Perkins tries a monkey flip out of the corner but Elgin catches him, powerbombs him into the corner, then goes for the sitout powerbomb but Perkins swings around the back of Elgin's shoulders and hits an inverted Frankensteiner for 2. Elgin blocks a fireman's carry but Perkins scores with a superkick, Elgin escapes a second fireman's carry, hits a spinning backfist, powerbomb into the corner, and the sitout powerbomb for the win.
Winner: Michael Elgin
This was a HELL of a hot opener. Elgin looked like a monster here with the way he dominated Perkins. Crowd really got into the last few minutes and especially the spots where Elgin caught Perkins in midair with seemingly no effort.
Prince Nana comes out before the next match and wants to know why, Jimmy, why? Barrister RD Evans says that Jimmy Rave is like a desperate ex-girlfriend who can't take a hint and crashes a family Christmas dinner, but if he wants to spend Christmas with Tommaso Ciampa, tonight will be a silent night indeed.
Tommaso Ciampa vs Jimmy Rave
They start off with a feeling out process before Ciampa takes Rave down and works the arm with a nasty kneeling wristlock. Rave breaks free and they trade chops in the middle of the ring and Rave spits in Ciampa's face but gets his head ripped off with a hard clothesline. Rave rolls out to ringside to try and catch a break, but Ciampa goes after him and rams him into the barricade. Rave fires back with hard chops and they go back inside where Ciampa hits a messy slam thing and connects with a pair of facewash knees in the corner and covers for 2. Rave with more chops and takes Ciampa out with a clothesline, he charges Ciampa in the corner and gets Ciampa's boot in his face, but Ciampa charges him and Rave picks his ankle and gets the heel hook right in the middle of the ring. Ciampa struggles mightily and makes it to the ropes, then goes out to the apron where Rave boots him into the guardrail. Rave tries to follow up with a baseball slide, but Ciampa catches his legs and swings him into the barricade. Ciampa Rave sunset flips Ciampa back into the ring and connects with a running knee to the jaw for 2, then catches Ciampa kicking out and hits the Rave Clash for another 2. Rave goes for the Pedigree, but Nana gets on the apron and offers him his old Embassy robe back. Rave considers it for a moment before grabbing Nana and needing to be pulled off by the referee. Evans gets on the apron but catches a wicked running knee that sends him careening into the barricade. Ernie Osiris grabs Rave so Princess Mia can nail him, but Rave dodges out of the way and Mia boots Osiris in the face and then Ravedumps Mia to the floor. Finally the numbers are too much for Rave and Ciampa blindsides him and hits the powerbomb over the knees for the win.
Winner: Tommaso Ciampa
Solid match, Rave got a good reaction from the crowd and they told a good story where Rave had Ciampa's number, but just had to deal with too many Embassy members and finally wound up on the receiving end of the tactics he used for so long as a member of the Embassy.
Mike Bennett comes out with Brutal Bob Evans and Maria Kanellis and he tries to cut a promo, but I honestly couldn't hear a word he said because the fans started chanting "CM Punk" at them and then "sloppy seconds". Bennett responded by making out with Maria in the ring and reminding the fans that he's here with a Playboy model while everyone here is at home and (to make what he said printable) practicing their one handed calisthenics.
TV Title Match: Jay Lethal vs El Generico vs Mike Bennett
Bennett ducked out of the ring and let Lethal and Generico go at it, ducking in occasionally just to cheapshot one or the other. They finally go out after Bennett and surround him, then toss him back into the ring so they can take turns beating him up. Lethal and Generico hit a double backdrop and clothesline Bennett out to the floor, and Generico and Lethal both try to do a dive but keep cutting each other off until they decide to do a double dive onto Bennett. Lethal and Generico finally are able to go at it by themselves in the ring and Lethal gets a flying headscissors for 2, then the hiptoss/cartwheel/dropkick combo for another 2. Lethal rams Generico to the corner and charges him, but gets backdropped to the apron and Bennett yanks him down face first onto the ring apron. Bennett comes back in and unloads on Generico with hard right hands and hits a hard slam and kneedrop for 2. They trade right hands in the middle of the ring, but Generico ducks a charge and Bennett goes sailing out to the floor. Generico goes for a dive but Lethal blindsides him with a springboard dropkick for 2. Lethal gets Generico in the Condo Clutch but Generico refuses to tap so Lethal converts to the elevated version of the move and slams Generico down on his face for 2. Lethal comes off the ropes right into a windmill backbreaker from Generico for 2,and then Bennett again jumps Lethal from behind and rams him into the corner before hitting a clothesline and a kneedrop. Lethal ducks a clothesline and hits the Tajiri elbow to send Bennett out to the apron and Lethal dropkicks him to the floor, but takes a flying forearm from behind by Generico. Generico and Lethal go back and forth and Bennett comes in just in time to get rammed into the corner for a diez punch count from Generico. Lethal does a series of combos too fast and complex for me to recap, but it looked great and it got him a 2 count on Bennett. Generico gets a T-bone suplex into the corner on Lethal and goes for the running Yakuza Kick, but Bennett grabs his ankle and drags him out to the floor. Generico chases him and Bennett throws Maria in his path and uses the distraction to nail Generico, then they go back in and Bennett hits a TKO on Generico and a snake eyes on Lethal. He eats a running Yakuza Kick from Generico, Lethal superkicks Generico, and all three guys are down.
Lethal and Generico get to their feet first and Lethal hits the Lethal Combination for 2, blocks a German suplex attempt from Bennett, but comes off the ropes right into a spinebuster from Bennett for a VERY close 2. Bennett with a big boot to Generico, but runs right into a Michinoku Driver that gets 2 for Generico. Lethal knocks Generico flat with a leaping enziguiri and goes up top for the Lethal Injection, but Generico hit a running Yakuza Kick to send Lethal out to the floor where he hit a triple jump somersault dive onto Lethal followed by the diving DDT through the corner on Bennett. They head back in where Generico hits Bennett with another running Yauza Kick and the half and half suplex, but only gets 2. Generico sets Bennett up for the brainbuster, but Lethal comes in from behind and pops Generico into the air for a neckbreaker and hits the Lethal Injection, but only gets 2. Lethal plants Generico with a big slam and goes up top, but Generico pops right up and goes for the top rope brainbuster, Bennett grabs him from behind and gets an O'Connor Roll with the tights to eliminate Generico, but Lethal comes right in and takes Bennett out with the Tajiri Elbow to quickly pin Bennett and get the win.
Winner: Jay Lethal
There was a lot going on here and it was a good solid win for Jay Lethal, who's been on a real roll this year. Generico protested his elimination due to Bennett using the tights and looked frustrated as could be and stared at the TV Title belt like an ex-girlfriend who dumped him, but eventually picked it up and handed it to Lethal and shook his hand.
Kevin Steen makes his ROH return next on Page 2!
