2012 Single-Day Ticket Lottery
Sorry, the lottery is now closed. The lottery was open from February 7-9.
|Telluride Festivarians
(photo Benko Photographics)
As with past years, in addition to 8,000 4-day passes (which sold-out this year on December 25) we have set aside 1,500 single-day tickets per day. Based on the phone calls and emails we've been receiving for the past few weeks, we foresee an unprecedented demand for these remaining tickets.
Unfortunately, we can't predict the true scale of this demand. So after investigating immediate improvements to our webserver to handle record traffic, we have determined that our online ticketing site needs a fundamental overhaul before we trust it to sell high-demand tickets like these. We learned our lesson from from our initial on-sale day, and we do not want to risk festivarians dealing with the frustrations of page-timeouts and other website problems.
Our solution – which we have employed for our most in-demand tickets for the past few years – is an online lottery. After all, even with the most robust online ticketing site you are essentially participating in a real-time lottery when ordering exceptionally high-demand tickets.
This lottery for 2012 Telluride Bluegrass single-day tickets will be open from Tuesday, February 7 at 12:01am MST thru Thursday, February 9 at 11:59pm MST.
Ticket Price
It has been suggested that we give-in to supply and demand and increase the price of these remaining single-day tickets. We will not be doing that, but instead holding single-day tickets to the same price as last year: $65 per day.
Preventing Scalpers
Many Festivarians have been expressing concern this year about scalpers. Unfortunately, we have no way of distinguishing scalpers from Festivarians (either in a lottery or when purchasing phone/online). But we are adding several anti-scalper measures to this lottery:
- Limit of 1 entry per credit card number
- Each entry may request no more than 2 tickets per day
- Tickets are non-refundable
How the Lottery Works
On February 10, we will begin randomly selecting entries from all lottery entries using computer-assigned random numbers. As we process each entry, we will fill any tickets on your entry that are still available. For example, if you requested Fri/Sat/Sun single-day tickets and Fri tix are already sold-out we will sell you (and you will be automatically charged for) Sat/Sun tickets.
Your credit card / check will only be deposited if we are able to fill some part of your order. Otherwise, we will destroy your credit card number or check.
Single-day Tickets vs. 4-Day Passes
Because many of you are telling us that you are just looking for 4-day passes, the lottery form will allow you to request either:
- Up to two single-day tickets for any/all of Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun ($65 each). You may request a different number of tickets (or none) for each individual day.
- OR... Up to two 4-day passes ($260 each)
If you are willing to settle for less than all 4 days you should request single-day tickets for all days. In this case, you will receive single-day tickets for whichever days are still available when your entry is chosen.
|Trampled By Turtles at 2011 TBF
(photo Benko Photographics)
If you are only interested in coming all 4 days ("4-day pass or nothing"), you should request 4-day passes. If any of the single-days are sold-out when we process your request for 4-day passes, your request for 4-day passes will not be filled.
Please note: if you do request and receive a 4-day pass in the lottery, you will receive a single 4-day ticket which will entitle you to a single 4-day wristband. This ticket may not be split into individual single-days.
Single-Day Lineups
Historically, we have always waited to release single-day tickets until we have announced the complete single-day lineup. This has allowed single-day purchasers to know what artists they would be purchasing tickets to see on a given day.
This year, with 4-day passes selling out in December, many of you are telling us that you would rather we put single-day tickets on sale ASAP regardless of the lineups. As a compromise, we will make every effort to announce as much of the single-day lineups as we can prior to February 7. It is likely that these lineups will still have several TBAs, but you will know as much as we do at that point.
Remember: The Lottery Is Random
Walk, don't run. You may enter anytime on these 3 days (Feb 7-9) with the same chance of being randomly selected. When we begin processing orders on Feb 10, we will randomly sort all entries and begin filling each entry in that randomly assigned order. Your order has the same chance of being selected whether you request 4-day passes or single-day tickets.
Lottery Rules
- The lottery may only be entered using our secure online form. A link will be posted at the bottom of this page while the lottery is open.
- We will accept lottery entries from February 7 at 12:01am MST thru February 9 at 11:59pm MST. You may enter at any time while the lottery is open. The time/date of your entry is irrelevant since we select lottery entries at random.
- You may only enter one (1) lottery form per credit card number or bank account (in the case of a check). Any additional entries will be discarded.
- Tickets purchased through this online lottery are non-refundable.
- You may elect to pay for your tickets with either a credit card or check. If paying by check, your check must be received by Planet Bluegrass no later than February 10, 2012.
- If your credit card payment is rejected, your check bounces, or your check does not arrive by February 10 your order will be immediately disqualified.
- You will only be charged if we are able to fill some/all of your order.
- By entering the lottery you agree
If you have further questions, give us a call - 303-823-0848 / 800-624-2422 - email firstname.lastname@example.com, or add your thoughts to the ongoing lottery thread on the Festivarian Forum.

Apple still hasn't gone public about its electric car project, reportedly named Titan, but new developments are coming to light nonetheless. The Wall Street Journal has had its journalistic finger on the pulse of the Titan project since the beginning, and a new report sheds a little more light on the timeline of this secret research. According to WSJ's unnamed source, Apple has committed employees and resources to get its electric car prepared for release in 2019.
Previous reports put the targeted unveil date at 2020, so this update suggests Apple is speeding up the original project timeline. WSJ's source also reports employees from various parts of the company have been reassigned to the Titan effort, effectively tripling the original 600-person team. That represents a significant commitment to a project that doesn't officially exist.
Related: Did The Guardian just prove Apple is working on an electric car?
All indications are that the Apple car will most certainly have an electric motor, but it's not expected to be fully autonomous. Self-driving car technology may be all the rage, but insiders say that Apple isn't planning for their first car to be a fully self-driving model. Reportedly, there are plans within the company to look at such a vehicle later down the road, so we'll have to wait and see what that might look like. For the time being, we'll just have to continue amusing ourselves with internal bets about how long it will be before Apple execs 'fess up and make a statement about the Titan electric car project.

The challenge
The Smarter Cities Challenge is a signature IBM Citizenship initiative that contributes IBM technology and the skills and expertise of teams of IBM experts to address key challenges facing cities around the world.
Contributing IBM technology and talent to tackle urban challenges
Winning cities receive a team of five to six IBM experts that deploys to the winning city to work closely with the city leadership for a three-week period on their proposed challenge. The IBM team works closely with its host city to gather information about root causes and potential solutions to the obstacles at hand.
The team then analyzes that data and uses its insights to offer support that can take the form of strategic recommendations, data-driven tools, implementation roadmaps and workshops and staff trainings. These outputs are drawn from the technical experience and strategic insight of the IBM team, city staff and community members to incorporate the entire community's insight.
IBM cognitive computing and big data capabilities provide Smarter Cities Challenge winners with deep, data-driven insights into their urban challenges and enable them to generate and evaluate options that improve policy development and decision-making. This leads the way for creative new solutions.
Over the past six years, more than 132 cities have been selected to receive grants, each valued at $500,000; total contributions to date are valued at more than $66 million. Winning cities have used the recommendations prepared by Smarter Cities Challenge teams to make substantive progress on a diverse array of urban issues, including transportation, infrastructure, social services and economic development.
The program's impact has been recognized by the White House and the federal governments of South Korea and Australia, as well as by the Committee for Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy and New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, among others.
In 2017, IBM is selecting cities to receive grants set to be deployed through May of 2018.
Global urban trends
The 2016 World Cities Report by the UN Human Settlements Program (UN Habitat) identified key trends affecting the world's cities today: urbanization and the rise of small and medium-sized cities, decentralization of government, climate change and migration. With the gap between the rich and poor in both developed and developing countries at its highest levels in three decades, the intersection of these urban trends with increasing inequality poses opportunities and challenges for cities around the world.
From bridging silos in information and operations to investing in infrastructure, the Smarter Cities Challenge has helped more than 132 cities around the world to become smarter. Our discoveries chime with the recent findings of the UN Human Settlements Program, which highlights three key trends affecting cities today:
Urbanization and decentralization
By 2050, 66% of the world's population will live in urban environments, with most growth happening in small and medium-sized cities. Urbanization and growing decentralization are forcing local authorities to become more self-reliant and increase their capacity to fund local services and institutions, turning cities into incubators that can test new public policy and local government-led initiatives.
Climate change
Many cities are in areas vulnerable to climate change, such as river deltas, coastlines and drought-prone regions. As cities around the world experience significant shifts from historic weather patterns and an increase in extreme weather events, effective local resiliency strategies to bolster city and regional stability are increasingly important.
Extensive migration across international borders has significant implications for urban communities, presenting both opportunities and challenges for cities receiving influxes of migrants. Large migration flows can rapidly increase the need for services, such as affordable housing, employment opportunities and sanitation. But with the population aging in Europe and other regions, cities also stand to benefit from the increase in migrants who can ease skill shortages and boost economies.
Social equity
Inequality has risen to its highest levels in the past three decades, interacting with the other trends in significant ways. Rapid population growth due to urbanization challenges the ability of many cities to provide services for residents in need, such as access to affordable housing, employment, transportation and healthcare. Low-income populations often disproportionately bear the negative impacts of climate change, while migrants often are a vulnerable population whose access to social and financial capital has been significantly disrupted.
These urban trends highlight priority areas for cities and regions to invest in and build capacity to support the needs of their current and future residents. Cities have an essential role to play in tackling these key social equity challenges by delivering vital city services and addressing disparities in social and environmental conditions.

Quick Review: Super Shag-a-delic Stewardesses: The Super-Jet Girls
July 3, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments
Check it out, a classic book from the shagging, swinging 1970s, about beautiful, sexy, and touchable stewardesses! The Super-Jet Girls, written by Bernard Glemser, is about…well…just a lot of hanky-panky with sexy stewardesses traveling around the world.
Seriously, does one really need to have a story when one is reading about shag-a-delic stewardesses?
The book is a groovy time capsule of a super groovy era!
My rating: C (as a work of literature) A+ (for sexy, swinging, stewardesses)

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Litigation Release No. 18846 / August 24, 2004
SEC v. John Patrucco, Case No. C 04-3515 WDB (N.D. Cal.)
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it has filed insider trading charges against the former Associate Director of External Reporting at VaxGen, Inc., a Brisbane, California biotechnology company. The defendant, John Patrucco, was responsible for preparing reports filed with the Commission disclosing to the public material information about VaxGen. The Commission alleges that Patrucco learned that the government had given VaxGen an important approval for one of its drugs, and then bought VaxGen stock before he prepared and filed the SEC report that disclosed the news to the public. Without admitting or denying the allegations, Patrucco has agreed to settle the enforcement proceeding by paying just over $20,000 in disgorgement, penalties, and prejudgment interest and by consenting to a permanent injunction against future securities law violations.
According to the Commission's civil complaint, Patrucco purchased 2,950 shares of VaxGen stock on the open market on May 22 and 23, 2003, based on his advance knowledge that the Food and Drug Administration had just approved VaxGen's Investigational New Drug application for a potential anthrax vaccine. The FDA's decision allowed VaxGen to begin clinical development of the vaccine through Phase I human clinical trials, one of the major milestones before the FDA can approve a drug for sale to the public. When the Company later announced the news on May 27, 2003 - in a press release and a report filed with the Commission and prepared by Patrucco as part of his SEC reporting duties - VaxGen's stock price rose nearly 70%. Patrucco sold the shares the following day, realizing a quick profit of nearly $8,000. Patrucco resigned from VaxGen in July 2003.
The Commission's lawsuit, brought in federal district court in San Francisco, charges Patrucco with trading on the basis of material, nonpublic information in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Under the settlement, Patrucco will pay $8,366.38 in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, and a $12,000 civil penalty, which is 1.5 times his illegal profit. In addition, the judgment enjoins Patrucco from violating Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) in this matter.

So something that some may consider slightly unusual about my shopping habits is that I do buy the occasional item of clothing from my local charity shop. Also, whenever I have a clear out of my wardrobe I take them all down to the charity shop and because my mum is registered as gift aided, the charity shop are able to claim back the tax rate to go to the charity. I have certainly given the hospice at least half of my wardrobe at one point or another so I wanted to share with you my golden charity shop buys and prove that you are able to get wonderful high street pieces in a charity shop.
My first golden charity buy is this River Island leather jacket that I found hidden in a corner at my local charity shop. It still had the label on it and I only paid £25 with the original label stating it was £60. Bargain.
My second golden charity buy is my Ted Baker clutch/ shoulder bag. I also found this in my local charity shop. Barely used and had no scratches or visual damage. I managed to get this bag for £40, which considering the popularity of the brand was exceptional.
My third golden charity buy is my Topshop sequin top which I love, its my go to going out top which I only cost me £6. No funny smells which I would usually associate with some charity shops. It is the perfect bargain.
Next time you walk past a charity shop or debate about going into one, just pop in and have a look. You literally never know what you might find, you may like me, be surprised at some of the nice things they have in there. It is also so rewarding knowing that you are being ethical and recycling as you shop.

Quite welcome.Also, if we do encounter non-Terran life, I think the UN does have an ambassador set.
The problem I see is that no country will let anyone else do the talking with them. I really don't see a UN appointee getting the lead. Too many personalities in too many governments getting butt hurt by the idea of that happening. Granted, in someways I see the UN as POTENTIALLY having the best position in a first contact situation. Without some sort of leverage that no one else has though.. I don't see the UN getting to stand in that position. One book I read a LONG time ago gave the UN that type of leverage by giving the UN sole control of a method of generating clean power. They granted plants to countries in return for licensing fees but kept the tech to themselves. A century from now when the world is more culturally advanced (hopefully), the centralization of a UN world confederation might work.
We're not going to meet intelligent aliens face-to-face, so if that's what it takes, I think we're more or less screwed.

The DROPA plant pot is a visual treat for all fans of organic shapes. Its soft, flowing form integrates perfectly into any setting, whether indoors or outdoors: arrangements of one or more DROPA plant troughs lend company lobbies, practice premises and private spaces a whole new charm. And, of course, these plant pots can also be teamed with other plant pots from our range. There are no limits to your imagination. The plant pot is laminated layer by layer using fibreglass matting and liquid synthetic resin and then hardened, creating a very robust, elegant planter. A beautiful matt anthracite lacquer is applied at the end, making the DROPA resistant to the effects of the weather, such as rain, ice or intense sunshine. Even after many years, the plant pot will gleam like it did on the first day. If you wish to use it outdoors permanently, there is a small precaution that you must take: before planting, drill a hole in the bottom of the container in order to divert excess water out of the pot. This prevents rot during the summer months and helps avoid the risk of frost damage caused by frozen moisture during the winter months.

John Cox at does a good job of two things in this Network World piece. The immediate task at hand is to provide an update of how fixed mobile convergence (FMC) is working in the field. In the process, Cox provides an accessible overview of the two types of FMC in use.
FMC is the ability of calls to flow freely between wireless and cellular networks. Behind the firewall, products from third parties such as Siemens, NEC, DiVitas and Agito work with the corporate IP PBXes to enable calls to jump back and forth. Outside the firewall, consumers and businesses are served by products using the Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) standard released by the Third Generation Partnership Project. In this scenario, switching the calls between networks is done by a UMA controller on the carrier's network. T-Mobile offers such a service in the United States, Cox notes.
In addition to the review, the story makes several points: Wireless networks must be designed for ubiquitous voice (not just the data transmissions for which most initially were designed), such systems tend to drain handheld-device batteries more quickly and companies looking at such projects appear more interested in the efficiencies and service improvements than direct revenue contributions.
Kineto Wireless is one of the companies most often associated with UMA. The company made a couple of announcements during the past few weeks. This release, which is about the later deal, refers to the first. In the earlier deal, Kineto says it will work with NXP to evolve UMA from 2.5G to 3G status through integration with the Nexperia cellular system. The second deal -- the one directly described in the release -- will enable some Qualcomm 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS) chip sets for UMA.
The melding of wireless and cellular networks is complex. Fixed mobile convergence is one way. A second way -- referred to in this In-Stat release as fixed mobile service (FMS) relies on femtocells. These are small base stations that attach to the ends of cable and digital subscriber line (DSL) modems. In the report that the release hypes, In-Stat says that by 2010 FMC and FMS will converge into a single market segment. The new market segment, it says, will eschew cost-savings strategies in favor of highly valued telecommunications services.
This blogtwopointzero post goes pretty deeply into what the writer thinks a converged network should look like and what it should be able to do. The most important point, however, is made in the first few paragraphs. The writer begins by making the point that FMC should stand for "fixed mobile confusion." The key to sorting though it all, he says, is to forget for a moment about the underlying technology. The key is to decide precisely what the result should be -- what the network must be able to do -- and work backward to determine the technology necessary to achieve this outcome.
This is a challenge, the blogger says. People have tremendous choice in the types of mobile devices that they use, and have settled on phones that they like. However, FMC approaches require the use of specialized dual-mode devices. This is bound to be met with resistance. The author doesn't mention femtocells, but it seems likely that he would be an advocate of this approach, which puts the integration focus on the network and not the device.
Though the two sectors may eventually coalesce, for the time being, the two sectors are competing. This TechRepublic commentary discusses the relative advantages of FMC and femtocell approaches. The writer says femtocells have the advantage because they are simpler: A device that receives signals from a cellular handset and arbitrates between the cellular and wireless network is inherently more efficient than embedding cellular and wireless capabilities into each handset. The headline ("Femtocells Yes, Fixed Mobile Convergence No") is a fairly clear indicator of the writer's conclusion. He says this approach is increasingly popular in the marketplace.

I wanted to write something. So here I am.
I see in my last I mentioned the state of my bowels. Apparently, not good. Suffice it to say there was blood where there should not be blood, and I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist. Lacy says she had something similar, and it was not serious; my father's like SHIT SON YOU GOT FUCKING COLON CANCER. I am fascinated more than anything, and not above making Rejected jokes about it.
Uh... so it's been over a year. What's changed? Not much. Still working for my father. Avoiding writing a report on a customer visit right now, in fact. Still very, very bored.
Oh, I was an Omeganaut [contestant in the Omegathon] at this past PAX East. Barely worth a mention, because I got my ass handed to me, in the game I was least concerned about, no less. First round was X-Men, the old arcade game. I was worried that the brief practice I did [one playthrough on expert, unlimited lives, didn't even play every character] wasn't enough, but even with last pick of character [went with Nightcrawler] I did okay.
The second round, Zip-It, was a word game. You get 12 cubes with letters on each side, and you have to make a word grid of them faster than your opponent. I've beaten down my friends at fake Scrabble enough that a few refuse to play with me anymore, so I thought, hey, no big deal. Pride goeth. I went up against this woman who was freakishly fast, and I lost. So that was that. I suppose I am glad I didn't have to dance on stage: the next round was Dance Central 2, and it was the pre-concert entertainment, so packed house. As a loser, I did get an awesome spot for the concert: center, foot of stage. Here are Paul and Storm, shortly before Paul called me out as "this asshole whose arms don't work".
There are other things I could say about the Omegathon, but I probably shouldn't. I lost fairly, but I don't think everyone else eliminated could say the same. And if I were one of them, I'd be pissed. But I am not them, so it isn't my place.
And that's all I have to say for now.

East Yorkshire chalet park residents sent enforcement notices
People living at a chalet park in East Yorkshire have been issued with enforcement notices by the council.
Residents were told they could not live in their properties all year round as planning permission was only granted for the properties to be holiday homes.
Retrospective planning permission for Lakeminster Park, near Beverley, was rejected by East Riding of Yorkshire Council in May.
The council said evictions could be prevented if an appeal was lodged.
Planning permission was originally refused due to concerns over the risk of flooding at the site and the impact on residents of the construction of a new road nearby.
The developer, Lakeminster Park Ltd, has so far not appealed against the council's refusal to allow permanent residential use at 70 of the park's units.
The company said in August it had not ruled out making an appeal and was hoping a solution could be reached.
East Riding council said the enforcement notices would take effect on 13 November and residents had six months to comply with them unless a planning appeal was lodged.

The Fact About Scientology That No One Is Suggesting
primal-indigenous: Alternatively termed "tribal religionists, "ethnic religionists," or "animists," estimates range between 100 million to 457 million. (457 million would be the merged overall for "Ethnoreligionists," "Animists," and "Shamanists" from Barrett's 2001 world faith calculations. But this full incorporates all African Classic religionists, which Now we have outlined being a independent group.) This group also contains, but will not be limited to, people whose native religion is really a type of shamanism or paganism (including millions of men and women in common Siberian shamanist cultures).
What does exist would be the sworn statements of people with initially-hand expertise in the alleged encounters, all of whom unambiguously refute the created tales of Mike Rinder."
All adherents of a single religion normally share a minimum of some commonalities, for instance a widespread historic heritage and many shared doctrines or techniques. But these guidelines can't be pushed way too considerably ahead of getting overburdened by exceptions.
As outlined by various of those on-the-record resources, Scientology more and more came to generally be what ever Miscavige explained it was, and both equally Kidman and Cruz were identified wanting inside their embrace with the Corporation and so unsuitable for the extremely prized Cruise—Kidman especially. They say the church had identified that Kidman was its most risky kind of enemy, a Suppressive Person (S.P.), who could threaten the spiritual well-currently being of Cruise and The 2 young children the couple experienced adopted all through their 10-yr marriage.
Estimates of Santerians include things like 800,000 from the U.S. and one million in Brazil, plus three million in Cuba (While numerous Cuban practitioners establish by themselves officially as Catholics or Communists/atheists). A all over the world selection of people who a minimum of at times self-determine as adherents of the loosely-structured spiritual class is likely to be 3 million, but This is often just an estimate.
Steps of religiosity as well as the degree to which a religious tradition has a meaningful effect on its adherents may very well be a lot more significant than raw adherent counts, but these steps are not as readily available nor are they easily comparable involving groups.
There are info readily available from non-census sampling surveys that request about apply and belief, but these usually are confined in scope to slim issues like church attendance, and do not totally reveal the proportion of Culture which happens to be non-attending, but Even so privately practising and/or believing. In lots of nations (Germany is a good instance) There is certainly also section from the population that's counted as adherents of a religion, but which will not personally profess perception in that religion. (Adherents.com has some these types of knowledge in its primary checklist underneath "attendance" and beneath "poll".)
In a statement to next USA TODAY, the Church says it knowledgeable A&E before broadcast which the claim is false.
"What he was telling me," Elliott said, "was that my daughter was evil and every thing she touched was poison, and that she'd completed a great deal of harm to the church Which I need to have nothing to carry out with her.
We questioned an expert for responses about our feedback on Yoruba religion. Osunmilaya, a practitioner and scholar on the topic wrote: I might make just a few variations. As opposed to the time period "Santerian" Probably the expression "ab'orisha," which refers to each initiated and uninitiated devotees, can be far more satisfactory.
Estimates dependant on oblique details: Numerous adherent counts are only acquired by estimates dependant on indirect knowledge rather then direct questioning or straight from membership roles. Wiccan groups have traditionally been secretive and infrequently their numbers can only be approximated dependant on magazine circulations, attendance at conferences, and so on.
Right after a lot of generations, Using the enhanced Western consciousness of Eastern background and philosophy, and the event of Islam, other religions have been added for the listing. A lot of Much Eastern means of assumed, actually, got the standing of "globe faith" whilst Similarly Sophisticated spiritual cultures in technologically a lot less produced or pre-literate societies (for instance in Australia, Africa, South The us, and Polynesia) have been grouped together as pagans or "animists," in spite of their real theology. It can be accurate that with the standards used at time, the Far Japanese religions Westerners encountered ended up often in a different category altogether in comparison to the religions they categorised as pagan.
In the next list the classical globe religions are my review here listed with the most cohesive/unified groups to start with, as well as religions with the most interior religious range previous. This why not find out more listing is based primarily on the diploma of doctrinal/theological similarity among all the varied sub-teams which belong to those classifications, and to a lesser extent according to variety in practice, ritual and Firm.
It may well seem to be incongruous to differentiate African primal (regular) religions from the final primal-indigenous class. However the "primal-indigenous" religions are mostly tribal and composed of pre-technological peoples. Although There exists undoubtedly overlap concerning this category and non-African primal-indigenous spiritual adherents, you can find factors for separating the two, ideal illustrated by concentrating exclusively on Yoruba, which might be the most important African traditional religious/tribal complicated. Yoruba was the faith from the vast Yoruba nation states which existed ahead of European colonialism and its practitioners now -- surely People from the Caribbean, South The us as well as the U.

Deportivo La Coruna vs. Real Madrid: Live Stream, Start Time, Preview and MoreFebruary 23, 2013
Real Madrid is seeking its third consecutive La Liga win when it travels to La Coruna to take on Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday.
Los Blancos' last loss in La Liga came after star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo scored on his side's own net, giving the hosting Granada side a narrow 1-0 victory.
But the last-place Turks have been abysmal at best, making Saturday's match a prime opportunity for Real Madrid to continue to build momentum.
A return to second place by passing Atletico Madrid isn't a impossibility, but chasing down table leader Barcelona might be at this point. Barca is currently sitting at 65 points, well above the 53 of Atletico and 49 of Madrid.
When: Saturday, Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. ET
Where: Estadio Municipal de Riazor, A Coruna
Live Stream: BeIN Sport USA
This match is a tale of two clubs heading in two very different and distinct directions. Deportivo has dropped its last two matches, while Los Blancos have earned three points in both of their last two outings on the pitch. Madrid has also won five of the last six against the Turks.
Deportivo won't be all that is on the minds of Los Blancos, though, when they take the pitch Saturday evening. The second leg of their Copa Del Rey semifinals matchup against Barcelona awaits the Spanish Giants on Wednesday. That will undoubtedly keep things closer than normal on the pitch between these two clubs, as lessened playing time may be in order for some of their regulars.
Even with their attentions focused elsewhere, Madrid should be able to continue its impressive form on the pitch and come away with another win over Deportivo.
Footballer to Watch: Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid
Ronaldo is hot right now and will be a nightmare for the poor defensive side of Deportivo. In his last five matches, the Portuguese forward has found the back of the net eight times. On the flip side, Deportivo has surrendered 54 goals in La Liga competition, the most of any club.
He also pulled off a hat-trick during Los Blancos' 5-1 drubbing of Deportivo at the Bernabeu on Sep. 30 of last year.
Prediction: Real Madrid 3, Deportivo 1

{Dairy Free} Chai Latte
Becca here with a recipe I'm excited to share; it has become my favorite afternoon drink lately. While we were driving back home from celebrating Christmas with family that live about four hours away from us, it was getting bitterly cold, so we stopped at Starbucks and I used a gift card I had received for my birthday to order an Oprah Chai Tea, with no sugar or syrups, add honey and almond milk. It was really delicious, so I have been experimenting to make a similar substitute here at home, and am really happy with the recipe I'm going to share today! Because it's caffeine free, I am able to drink it as my after lunch, quiet time treat. What is your favorite hot tea "recipe"?
{Dairy Free} Chai Latte
Makes 32 ounces
2 bags Celestial Seasonings "Bengal Spice" tea, or Good Earth "sweet & spicy" (I use caffeine free)
3/4 cup UNsweetened almond milk (my favorites are 365 Organic from Whole Foods, or Califia Farms I can get at Walmart)
2 - 4 Tablespoons honey, to taste
About 25 ounces of boiling water (we love our electric kettle!)
32 ounce container to make it in (I use my Ozark Trail "Yeti" style cup)
Combine the boiling water and two teabags in your heat safe container. Leave it for ten minutes.
Remove the tea bags, add in the almond milk and honey, and stir well. (Don't try to skip a step and not stir well, the honey clumps up at the bottom, and almond milk doesn't mix evenly if you don't!)

Say what you want about Bing on Android -- and we've said plenty -- but it's always been a pretty visually stunning app, and darned useful, too. It was never the app itself we had a problem with -- it was a certain carrier (that might or might not start with a V) stripping out Google services on some top-shelf phones and replacing them with Bing.
But we digress. The standalone Bing app just got itself an update and is more beautiful than ever. The menus have been redone, bringing a bit of the Windows Phone 7 "Metro" user interface. All of the services remain -- they just look better.

Dwight Gayle says he simply had to get the No 9 jersey at Newcastle United – after speaking to his partner's father.
The striker, sidelined with a hamstring injury, is the second-top scorer in the Championship with 22 goals.
Gayle was handed the coveted shirt last summer after joining from Crystal Palace.
And the 27-year-old knew all about the significance of the jersey long before he got to wear.
"My missus' dad's a Geordie, a Newcastle fan, so he was telling me everything about it," said Gayle.
"To be fair, I already knew previously about all the legends who have worn the shirt, but he was just banging on to me about it trying to make me get it and telling me how good it would be.
"I knew the No 9 was a legendary shirt, so to get it was fantastic.
"But I just try to get on with it. The largest pressure I was going to have was from myself and from my team-mates, who'll demand I perform for them."

RE: FEMA Runs from Confrontation on WTC7 and Camps

FEMA Runs from Confrontation on WTC7 and Camps
FEMA Admits Role of Informing, Monitoring and Controlling Media During Emergency Operations Like the September 11 Attacks
Aaron Dykes / JonesReport.com | July 24, 2007
New York -
Reporters from WeAreChange.org and Infowars.com confronted high ranking officials from FEMA on the agency's involvement in misinformation on 9/11 as well as the existence of many hundreds of FEMA camps across the country and in most major cities-- something officials obviously didn't want to discuss.
One such official, Henry Jackson, was working in WTC Building 7 up until its collapse on 9/11. He currently serves as Deputy Commissioner for Technology and spoke at the public event.
FEMA officials briefed the audience on hazard plans for covering "most scenarios," including operations to corral media into centralized reporting locations, monitoring media feeds and "controlling information." That includes informing the public about ongoing emergency situations.
The FEMA chieftan also discussed evacuation on 9/11 and spoke about FEMA's prime role in providing updates on the situation throughout the crisis. Hundreds of police and fire fighters, as well as former Mayor Giuliani were told beforehand that Building 7 would be 'coming down.' Additionally, several media stations, including the BBC and CNN reported the improbable collapse of WTC7 more than twenty minutes before the building actually fell. FEMA explained in its presentation that one of its chief duties is providing information to the media, as well as monitoring and correcting, if necessary, reports by the media.
These occurences of prior knowledge about Building 7 have become a smoking gun in the case for 9/11 as an inside job because no steel buildings have ever before or since collapsed from fire and there was no reason to believe Building 7 would collapse.
Based on the briefing by FEMA officials, it is probable that this kind of information flow came from FEMA on that day, and routinely would have in most emergency situations-- but whether FEMA was the source of prior information about the WTC7 collapse is, of course, not clear and certainly not admitted to.
Reporter Nate Evans questioned FEMA's Henry Jackson about the use of FEMA camps during crisis situations, as Jackson discussed the use of school buildings and other public facilities as make-shift locations. Jackson denied knowledge of more than 800 FEMA camps across the country which could hold more than 20 million people collectively.
Henry Jackson seemed to have a memory refresh when Evans explained that the camps where discussed under the Rex-84 plan, at which point Jackson became uneasy and asked that the camera not be used to record because the Deputy Commissioner of Technology was "shy."
Reporters agreed stop discussion of Rex-84, but refused to stop filming when Jackson asked for a business card, hinting at identification.
WeAreChange.org and Infowars.com reporters then confronted Henry Jackson outside the building about the impossible collapse of WTC7. Jackson was warned by a fellow employee that he was being filmed and both remained silent and started to leave amidst vocal reminders that 9/11 crimes would continue to be pursued and eventually prosecuted.
Like so many other entrenched government and media officials, Henry Jackson cowered in silence and ran away from reporters, despite Jackson's own explanation that FEMA had played such a central role on September 11, particularly in the control of information.
The truth will come out about 9/11 and public servants can't hide forever. The guilty will be prosecuted and the republic will be restored.

Despite the fact that the Colombian Constitutional Court has expressed its support to the LGBT community in areas such as the right to inherit, the recognition of civil unions, social security to same-sex couples; on the topic of equal marriage and adoption, the Colombian Government hasn't done much about it.
Regarding same-sex marriage, the 2011 C-577 law established that same-sex couples also represent a family. However, due to lack of consensus, instead of declaring that same-sex couples had the right to get married, the Court used the term "solemnization of union", which created a legal ambiguity, since some judges have already married couples, while others say it is not possible, because the Court does not use the term marriage, and "solemnization" is not a regulated status. In addition to that, it would be discriminatory, since it provides less benefits than marriage between heterosexual couples.
On the other hand, the subject of adoption remains a little complicated. First it was clarified that sexual orientation does not imply any impediment to be able to adopt. However, it was only valid for individuals, not for same-sex couples.
It was expected that last February 4th, the Constitutional Court stated in favor of the right to adoption by same-sex couples. However, the vote ended in a tie, so it was needed to appoint an associate judge, someone randomly selected, within a group of outstanding lawyers, in order to break ties.
The associate judge is José Roberto Herrera, a judge with extensive experience in the high courts, but of conservative tendencies.
"We are confident on the Court and on the associate judge, since we cannot know the previous judgments, nor the rights already granted to the LGBT community. I think there are reasons to be optimistic." Said the Congresswoman and LGBT activist, Angélica Lozano.
The appointment of the associate judge expires in March of this year, so it still cannot be defined the time the judge will take to decide. Until now the subject of equal adoption remains in question.

Human health usually comes from balance energy level, since we are living in reality modern world, it is hard to keep everything in smooth balance, such as job, family, financial pressures, or some kind hard daily basis, stress out and depression are reaction of biologically changes to the mood degree. People experienced as sleep disorder, easy tiredness, headache, exhausted, upset stomach, low appetite or irritability when they are under stress.
Commonly we have understanding that stress is related to Adrenaline level. The adrenaline coming from adrenal glands was designed to give extra energy to boost up our body. In traditional Chinese Medicine, stress, emotions and physical health are closely connected. Mood levels depend on liver functions to a greater degree, which is support by kidney.
Collapse of stress may load on heart, blood vessels, lungs, liver, muscle system, nerves system, and auto immune system, may affect many organs or body function. In order to deal with stress, I encourage you to develop a positive thought, such as positive thinking and positive image on the subconscious mind, even smile to yourself is good way to start release the depression. Looking for a Chinese Medicine treatment is another way to have fewer side effects and have more efficient address the stress away from your life.

Sponsored post. All opinions are my own.
I've always had really dry skin. I need all of the moisture I can get and, since I have this weird aversion to getting lotion all over my jewelry, I almost always skip it (because it's clearly too much work to take off my rings for five seconds). Once Fall hits, fuhgetabouit. I need the moisture and I need it fast. Lucky for us, there's a new kid in town and you're going to want to be besties.
Meet Vaseline Advanced Repair Unscented Spray Lotion! It contains twice the amount of moisturizers as their typical spray moisturizer. Twice! Each spritz contains micro-droplets of actual Vaseline jelly, but your skin will never feel sticky. The lotion just absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it smooth and soft for hours. In case you were concerned, Vaseline developed a way to only use compressed air--no propellants and no aerosols!
This spray lotion is perfect for those of us with really dry skin or sensitive skin. There are no fragrances to irritate sensitive skin. This formula even contains Avena Sativa Straw Extract (a fancy way to say oats). And I know you know how soothing oats can be for the skin! Plus, the continuous spray works really well, even upside down! I loathe when these things don't work and after a few weeks of using this daily, it's never clogged. Huzzah!
To make the most of this lotion, apply it as soon as you get out of the shower. Your skin will soak it up. Hours later, your skin will still be soft, touchable and very comfortable. Say bye to that tight, itchy, cold weather skin. Each canister will give you thirty days of soft, happy, smooth and soothed skin. Love it!
Grab Vaseline's newest spray lotion, Advanced Repair. Your cold weather skin will love you all year long, I swear. Pick it up anywhere Vaseline is sold for around $6.00.

Cucumbers are easy to grow in a container. Choose the container carefully. The pot should be big so that it can hold a greater quantity of soil, which in turn means that the pot can retain water for a longer duration. Cucumbers need a lot of water on a continuous basis. Another option is to use a self-watering container.
Plant cucumber seeds in the intended container or smaller containers between one-half and one inch deep in the soil. Smaller containers are useful when starting the seeds inside. Once the saplings begin to grow, transplant them to the large containers. The potting soil should be of good quality. It is better to use organic soil. If the soil is without fertilizer, add an all-purpose fertilizer before planting the cucumbers. Cucumber plants require a lot of sun and should be placed in an area that receives six to eight hours of sunlight per day.
Cucumbers need a lot of nutrients. All-purpose fertilizer should be added to the potting soil at regular intervals. For extra nutrition, liquid fish emulsion and seaweeds can be used once every two weeks. Cucumbers grow well in warm temperatures, so the soil temperature should be between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yes, it's part of a nation-wide chain, but it's a chain with a conscious. It might be the only fast food burrito in town with locally sourced, antibiotic-free meat and organic veggies—also locally grown. And they can turn that burrito into a salad, a burrito bowl or throw it all together in a taco shell. Your choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
The following questions and answers will help you further understand the unique characteristics of the Theracycle
Is financing available?
Yes. We offer a 48-month interest-free financing program through First Mutual Financing. The procedure requires a credit application to be submitted for review. You will hear back within an hour.
I have a movement disorder which precludes me from traditional type of exercise. Will the Theracycle really allow me to exercise?
Yes. The Theracycle's motor assists you in attaining continuous exercise for longer periods that, due to lack of strength and endurance, would otherwise not be possible on traditional exercise equipment for users with movement disorders. We are so convinced the Theracycle will work for you, we offer a money-back guarantee within 30-days of delivery if you are not completely satisfied.
I have limited mobility. Will I be able to get on the Theracycle?
The Theracycle's frame was specially designed for easy mounting and dismounting. The open step-through base was engineered to allow you to easily get on the Theracycle.
Is it safe to use?
The Theracycle is designed specifically for users with movement disorders and has many safety features. Its motion can be stopped instantly using either a push of a button or a pull of a cord. The structural steel and cast iron parts help support the user's weight safely and the seat is extra large for comfort and stability.
Is it difficult to operate the computer controls?
No, the user-friendly, easy-to-read control panel on the Theracycle lets you set your own time and speed. We provide simple, easy-to-follow instructions.
A basic, non-motorized exercise bicycle cost $500 or less. Why does the Theracycle cost so much more?
The Theracycle is not a simple exercise bicycle. It is an American manufactured motorized device whose parts are precision made in small production runs and thus there are no economies of scale as seen in much less expensive imported products. In addition, the specialized use of the Theracycle for people with movement disorders necessitates many redundant safety mechanisms, a very sturdy and heavy frame made of structural steel, a powerful motor, and sophisticated electronics—all of which are built to provide decades of use without failure. In fact, the Theracycle costs much less than other comparable motorized exercise/therapy products: the MOTOmed™ made in Germany, and the US made Flexiciser™, NuStep® (not motorized), and Restorative Therapies™.
Will the motor still allow me to exercise on my own when using the Theracycle?
Yes. The advanced electronic components on the Theracycle make the motor "smart" by detecting when you are exercising and when the motor should assist you to exercise. You choose how much or how little you want the motor to assist you.
What are the Theracycle Specifications?
Theracycle 100
19″ W X 39″ L X 37″ H – 100 lbs. Boxed for shipping – 120 lbs
Theracycle 200 and 300
20″ W x 44″ L x 57″ H – 220 lbs. Boxed for shipping – 240 lbs
The electrical cord on all models is 9-feet long.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Amps and Cabs [BG]' started by Brock385, May 7, 2001.
I see these terms all over, what do they mean?
Thank you
A lot of power amplifiers are stereo, with two separate channels.
If you "bridge" the power amp, you are combining the two separate channels together to get (roughly) twice as much power output, usually to power a single speaker cabinet.
If you "biamp", you're splitting the signal from the bass (and preamp) into two separate halves, with the low frequencies going through one channel of the power amp into one speaker cabinet, and the high frequencies going through the other channel of the power amp into another speaker cabinet.
Here's a simple but a little more detailed explanation. I'll leave the big details to the gurus like throbbinut, Joris, MikeyD, etc.
Running bridged(or, in bridge mode) or biamped are 2 things you can do with an amp head that has 2 separate power amps in it. There are other ways to run biamp, but like I said, this is the simple explanation.
Bridge mode is a way to put all of your 2 channel amp's power into one speaker, of course, there are other reasons to bridge, but this is the simplest reason to.
Imagine a head with 2x200 watt power amps inside(won't get into ohms and stuff in this post).
Say you have one 4x10 speaker cabinet, and you want to put all of your power into that one cabinet, because you need as much volume as possible, and don't have another cabinet. You could bridge the 2 power amps together and run them into your single cab, getting the most volume and bang for your buck.
Biamping is a little more difficult to explain, but here goes. This was very popular a few years ago, and while a lot of people still do it, I think that more guys are running full range nowadays than biamp.
Imagine the same 2x200 watt head, with an active crossover built in, and say you have a 1x15 and a 4x10 cabinet.
If you wanted to biamp, you could set the crossover at say 150 - 200 hz, and run the lows into your 1x15, and then run the highs into your 4x10.
The theory behind biamping is that you let your big speaker handle the ultra low bass, which it is(in theory, anyway) better at, and let your smaller driver(10's and the horn, if your 4x10 has one) handle the lower midrange, mids, and highs.
This also divides the power, giving half of it to the lowest 1 or 2 octaves(the lower the hz, the more clean power you need to hear it) and then the other half to the bulk of the audio spectrum.
Biamping and triamping is still very popular for PA use, and it is not unusual to see 4x the power for the lows that the highs get in a triamp PA system. For example, 4000 watts to your subs, 2000 to the midbass drivers, and 1000 watts to the high frequency horns.
Sorry this is so long, it was meant to be easy to understand, and I hope that it helps.
Thanks for clearing all that up! So if you had a choice to either bi-amp or bridge, which would be the smarter (better?) choice?
I'm looking to get a stereo head so that's why i'm asking all these questions.
1) People usually bridge their stereo amps because they have one cabinet and want to put more power into it than they can get with one channel of the amp. They're essentially turning their stereo amp into a mono amp.
2) People biamp their stereo heads because they have two cabinets--usually one is better at reproducing lows and the other at reproducing highs, like a 1x18" and a 2x10"--and they want to have more control over the amount of power and the frequencies that go to each of the two cabs. Some people prefer the way a biamped rig sounds, and some don't.
Which of these situations describes what you want to do best?
Personally, I run a stereo Mackie power amp in bridged mode into a single Acme cab, because I like the way the Acme sounds. I didn't choose to buy a stereo power amp specifically because it was stereo and I could bridge it--I bought it because it was reasonably affordable and produced the amount of power I wanted when bridged, if you see the differerence. A mono power amp which put out the same amount of power would have suited me just as well.
On the other hand, there are people who really like the sound of a biamped rig. No way around it, though--you need two cabinets, or one great big cabinet with separate inputs like the old Peavey 1820--to biamp. Neither is better or worse, though, and there's nothing preventing you from bridging when you only want one cab, and biamping when you're using two, if that's what you want.
Anyone care to explain how you bridge a stereo head?
I mean, you have 2 outputs in the back of your head, and 1 input on your cab. Is there some sort of Y cable for the job?
What amp are you talking about, specifically?
First, two outputs doesn't necessarily mean it's a stereo head. Lots of mono amps have multiple output jacks. You really don't want to try and combine them!
Second, not all stereo amps can be biamped. The ones that can usually have a switch to put them in biamp mode, so you're sending the same input signal to both channels. On the output side, they have either banana plugs placed so you can put one banana plug between the + side of both channels, or they have a separate 1/4" or Neutrik jack specifically for bridged output. If you just have two 1/4" or Neutriks jacks, with neither one marked as being for bridged output, it's likely that the amp is not intended for it. When in doubt, consult your manual or the manufacturer!
Mike Z. speaketh the truth. Not every stereo amp is designed to be bridged. You must consult the manual or mfr., unless you are an electronics expert and know how to design amplifiers yourself. If an amp is capable of being bridged, the manual will tell you. You must also adhere to the impedance guidelines very carefully or you may overload it.
- Mike

Forbury Gardens, Reading. 1 July 2016, 18.00-19.00
Following the national referendum decision for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, and the immediate infighting in both the Conservative and Labour Parties around the question of party leadership in the referendum's aftermath, the Reading Trades Union Council executive met on 28 June 2016 and unanimously decided to organise a pro-Corbyn rally. Despite Jeremy Corbyn's mandate as Labour Party leader, elected by 59.5% of party members in a four-candidate contest in September 2015, the RTUC was shocked and outraged by the mass resignations from Corbyn's shadow cabinet last week by MPs calling for his resignation.
With only three days notice, using social media, including the RTUC's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ReadingTUC/), and an article in the Reading Chronicle, around 60 members of the general public gathered in Forbury Gardens to show their support for Corbyn, listen to speeches and fraternise in a spirit of solidarity and socialist fellowship. Several trade unions, including the RMT, TSSA and Unison, brought banners and flags, and the Socialist Party set up a stall and distributed literature. Especially pleasing was the presence of a Labour Councillor on Reading Borough Council, Ashley Pearce, who - with Paul Woodward - signed a letter of support for Corbyn from hundreds of councillors across the country. As Chris Reilly, RTUC Vice-President, said in his speech, 'We salute you!'
The event began with Chris Reilly welcoming all those present and bringing the RTUC to everyone's attention.
Chris then introduced the first speaker, Jennie Formby, a member of the South-East Regional Executive of Unite the Union and also a member of the Labour Party's National Executive Committee. Jennie, fresh from the large pro-Corbyn rally in London earlier in the week, emphasised the need for Labour to defend workers rights and resist racism and fascism in the aftermath of the 'Leave' vote in the EU referendum. She also highlighted the massive support Corbyn has from Labour Party members – so much so that MPs from the Labour right are wavering in their desire to challenge Corbyn for the party leadership. It is clear from Corbyn's party support – and from the increase in party membership in the past week – that a challenge to his leadership would simply result in Corbyn's re-election. But the disruption the shadow cabinet resignations is causing and the distraction which a prospective leadership challenge will cause is letting the Conservative's off the hook – and allowing that party to consolidate its attacks on working people, the welfare state and the NHS. Jennie's full speech can be found here.
The second speaker was Chris Clark, a member of the national executive of the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association, an affiliated union to the Labour Party. Chris gave the background to the TSSA's support of Corbyn in 2015. He backed Corbyn's position on the EU – not a supporter of the EU 'right or wrong' but an advocate of a social Europe. Last year the TSSA put three questions to all Labour Party leadership candidates: 1) would they scrap the Trident nuclear weapons system; 2) would they restore the trade union powers stripped from workers since 1979; and 3) would they renationalise Britain's railways. The only candidate to answer 'yes' to all three questions was Jeremy Corbyn and on that basis the TSSA threw their support behind his leadership bid. On the basis of democratic socialism – as clearly outlined in the Labour Party's constitution (see Clause 4 and also the right of members to elect the party leader) – the TSSA continues to support Corbyn, given the overwhelming support he received in the leadership election and the support he continues to carry among the party's membership. Chris finished by encouraging those present to join Labour if they haven't already done so and – in the event of a challenge – vote for Corbyn's continued party leadership. Chris's full speech can be found here.
Chris Reilly, on behalf of both the RTUC and the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers' Union, took the microphone as the third speaker. Chris explained that, in recent years, he has been a Green Party member but – with Jeremy Corbyn's leadership – he has joined the Labour Party and urges everyone not already a member to follow his lead. In contrast to the Labour Party of pro-business and illegal wars, Corbyn has brought principle and ideas back to the party. Now – instead of voting for Labour as the lesser of two evils – we can vote for a leader of integrity in the confidence that a Corbyn government will follow through on its pledges. Corbyn is not engaging in the xenophobia and racism of the anti-immigration debate but instead has argued for a reformed, social Europe – a position that ensured 60% of Labour supporters voted 'remain' in the EU referendum. Chris did not advocate slavish support of the Labour Party but encourages a large party membership to hold the leader and its MPs to account. Now is the greatest time to engage in this role as a Labour Party member. And other people appear to hold this perspective. 60,000 new members have joined the party in the past week. The party is now larger than it was under Blair in the heady days of his first election victory in 1997. But many will leave is Corbyn is toppled – because only Corbyn and his socialist allies represent the views of working people in this country. Chris closed by reading from a letter by Labour councillors around the country supporting Corbyn's leadership – and Chris paid tribute to the two Reading councillors whose names appear in the letter – Ashley Pearce and Paul Woodward. To the gathering's surprise and delight, Ashley Pearce made himself known in the audience! Chris's full speech can be found here.
John Partington, as RTUC Communications Officer, closed the event by again thanking the speakers for their encouraging and informative words and thanking the audience for assembling to show their support for and solidarity with Corbyn. John also urged those present to follow the Reading Trades Union Council's Blog and Facebook page, where future events are publicised and debate engaged in. He also promoted the RTUC's next event - a picnic in honour of the 1916 women's strike at Huntley and Palmers' Biscuit Factory, which will be held on Sunday, 3 July, from 14.00-17.00 at Kings Road Gardens.

GRANTHAM, PA – The York College wrestling
team fell on hard luck Saturday afternoon at the Messiah College
Duals, going 1-2 for the day with both of their defeats coming by a
mere two points each. For the season, the green and white move to
The Spartans came out on the short end of a 19-17 score line against their first opponent of the duals, Lycoming College. Seniors Sean Hightman (Dover, Pa./Northeastern) and Kyle Flickinger (New Oxford, Pa./Bermudian Springs) secured the 125- and 133-pound classes while freshman Taylor Ulm (Great Meadows, N.J./Hackettstown) grabbed the victory at 141 pounds. The Spartans dropped the next three classes before 174-pound Brian Thomason (Wernersville, Pa./Schuylkill Valley) got York back on track with a 13-5 major decision. Junior Chris Elliott (Crofton, Md./South River) captured the 184-pound class but losses at both 197 and 285 spelled a win for Lycoming.
The day's second match resulted in a victory for the Spartan side, 21-12 over Seton Hill. The 141-pound Ulm secured York's lone win in the lower weight classes before the green and white's middle and heavy weight wrestlers swept the higher weights. Senior 165-pound John Niedrich (Freehold, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) kick-started the streak with a win by fall only 2:45 into his match. Thomason and Elliott each picked up their second victories of the duals in the 174- and 184-pound classes. At 197 pounds, James Laughlin (Hanover, Pa./South Western) took down Ron Oswald 4-2, while freshman Joe Erb (Langhorne, Pa./Pennsbury) edged out a 3-2 victory in the 285-pound class.
York's day ended in similar fashion to how it began, with a tough two-point defeat. This time it was Waynesburg that slipped by the Spartans by a slight 18-16 margin. Flickinger notched a 9-3 win at 133 pounds, while Jason Ecklof (Howell, N.J./Howell) captured his first victory of the day with a 3-1 decision at 157 pounds. Niedrich, Thomason, and Elliott took the next three classes before Waynesburg snapped the streak at 197-pound class. Sophomore Shane Cooley (Wrightsville, Pa./Eastern York) secured a 4-2 sudden victory win in the 285-pound class but it proved not to be enough, as Waynesburg grabbed the team victory.
Thomason and Elliott both went 3-0 for the day, while Niedrich, Ulm, and Flickinger each posted 2-1 marks.
The York side returns to the mat in two weeks as hosts of the annual Spartan Invitational. The tournament action begins in York's Grumbacher Sport & Fitness Center at 9:30 am.

and you are heavily considering what your New Year's resolution may be, think about the purpose of this resolution. Most likely it is to make yourself feel happier. And just when you think you have some control over this, and you do to some extend, however, a large chunk of you has a predisposition to your level of happiness. I'm reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, and she writes, "According to current research, in the determination of a person's level of happiness, genetics accounts for about 50 percent; life circumstances, such as age, gender, ethnicity, marital status, income, health, occupation, and religious affiliation, account for about 10 to 20 percent; and the remainder is a product of how a person thinks and acts." 50 percent? That's a lot. Pretty freaking scary right? The good news is: that small little things can make you feel happier. Some of those things are: exercise (even just taking a walk outside), being organized (getting rid of clutter clears the mind and brings more happiness), smiling more (tricking yourself to be happy even makes you feel happy), and generally just being yourself (and love who you are). I like Gretchen's list of Secrets of Adulthood in her book, so I will list them:
People don't notice your mistakes as much as you think.
It's okay to ask for help.
Most decisions don't require extensive research.
It's important to be nice to everyone.
Bring a sweater.
By doing a little bit each day, you can get a lot accomplished.
Soap and water removes most stains.
Turning the computer on and off a few times often fixes a glitch.
If you can't find something, clean up.
You can choose what you do; you can't choose what you like to do.
Happiness doesn't always make you feel happy.
What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.
You don't have to be good at everything.
If you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough.
Over-the-counter medicines are very effective.
Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
What's fun for other people may not be fun for you-and vice versa.
People actually prefer that you buy wedding gifts off their registry.
You can't profoundly change your children's natures by nagging them or signing them up for classes.
No deposit, no return.
On that note here's what I've been working on:
I'm looking at working with an agency to have my designs licensed and used commercially. I'll know in the middle of January who I'll be working with. Fingers crossed for a fulfilling new year in art and design that can put a little bit of change in my pocket.
My shout outs:
If you have children, you won't be able to read a Nancy Tillman book without crying. I highly recommend them, even if they are a bit cheesy, they are super lovely to read to your children at any age. I really like On the Night You Were Born and Wherever You Are.
This diagram on Etsy is great for all those Shakespeare lovers. http://www.etsy.com/listing/63054235/shakespeares-hamlet-as-a-diagram-50×70
And lastly, a great great song. (kinda one hit wonders, but some other songs are growing on me)
Happy Holidays, and before you make those resolutions of what you want, make sure to be grateful for what you already have. A very happy 2011!

Australian Consumer Law saw the introduction of unfair contract term laws which restrict the operation and legality of some contract terms ie. terms that are seen to be unfair. These unfair contract terms laws apply only to consumer contracts.
A term will be regarded as unfair if:
- It would cause significant imbalance in the party's rights and obligations.
- It is not necessary to protect legitimate interests of the party who would be benefitted by the terms.
Unfair terms may include for example terms that permit one party (but not the other) to terminate the contract or vary its terms.
Since 1 July 2010 ASIC has administered laws dealing with unfair terms in consumer contracts for financial products and services. However insurance has so far been excluded from the operation of these unfair contract laws.
As part of the government's review of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth), the Minister for Financial Services, Superannuation and Corporate Law released an options paper back in 2010 seeking public comment on whether insurance contracts should be subject to unfair contract laws. There were no shortage of people who wanted this to happen. However the insurance industry's arguments that insurance contracts are unique and already adequately regulated by the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth) were persuasive. Specifically the industry pointed to the requirement that insurers act with the utmost good faith and not rely on a term of a contract if to do so would be to fail to act with the utmost good faith.
There was no further mention of the issue until the Queensland floods in 2011. Before the last of the waters had resided the media was itself flooded with complaints against insurers by affected property owners alleging that insurers were acting unfairly. On 4 March 2011, Bill Shorten announced an independent review into disaster insurance in Australia. The report released in September last year recommended that unfair contract terms laws be applied to general insurance. Insurance contracts and unfair contract terms were back on the government agenda.
In December 2011 the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer called for public feedback (submissions) on previously canvassed options "for ensuring that consumers who purchase insurance have an equivalent level of protection as that which currently applies to other financial products and financial services". Submissions closed on 17 February 2012. Thirteen public submissions were made, largely from the insurance industry arguing against the application of unfair contract terms laws to consumer insurance contracts.
This week the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs released a report "Volume One: The Operation Of The Insurance Industry During Disaster Events". One of its recommendations was that legislation be enacted to remove the exemption of general insurers from unfair contract terms laws.
The odds on general insurance contracts being subject to unfair contract terms are now only slightly better than Black Caviars odds at Caulfield in the Lightning Stakes.
Will the world as insurers know it end if consumer (retail) general insurance products are subject to these laws? If similar UK legislation and public reaction to it are any guide, then the answer is no.
Insurance contracts in the UK have been subject to unfair contract terms legislation since 1999. By all reports it has not caused insurers too many headaches nor has it resulted in any, or any significant litigation. The Financial Services Authority in the UK released a guidance paper on 31 January 2012 (FG12/2 – Unfair Contract Terms: Improving Standards In Consumer Contracts By The Financial Services Authority) which examined the operation of these laws in the UK. That report provided some examples of terms in insurance contracts which have been found to be unfair. The main examples include:
- Terms which give an insurance company a wide discretion to cancel the contract, for example where the insurer does not specify the grounds on which it can be cancelled.
- Terms which allow the insurer to cancel without giving the insured adequate notice.
- Technical or legal language in contracts which consumers may find confusing. Examples given were words such as "indemnify", "tort", "lien", "consequential loss", "force majeure", "time is of the essence". In these cases the FSA required insurance companies to clarify the wording so that no consumer would be disadvantaged. The FSA also noted that terms which exclude liability for "consequential loss" without further explanation are likely to be struck out as unfair.
In Australia the Insurance Contracts Act provides the consumer with safeguards regarding cancellation of contracts. It prevents an insurer from doing so unfairly. There is no equivalent legislation in the UK.
To the extent to which UK experience acts as a guide, it may be that Australian insurers will need to review policy wording and remove, or better explain, terms which are not part of everyday language.

Take2/L2 Take2/L2
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
MISSION: The mission of Take2 is to equip women who are released from prison with both the knowledge and the wisdom to enter back into the free world with a renewed purpose and hope.
VISION: 1. Take2 will focus on developing their knowledge and ability of how to take care of themselves, and eventually their families, on a practical level by ensuring they will be taught and given opportunities to learn basic life skills when it comes to dealing with the day in and day out duties of life. 2. Take2 will also teach basic career skills that will prepare the women to not only find a job but understand the benefits that come from working: living off what you make and the confidence that they will experience when they are valued and bring value to their workplace. 3. Lastly, Take2 will integrate a Biblical worldview of who they are and their role in society on both a macro and micro level (God's redemptive plan for all creation and for their own life) in all they do because we believe if they know who they are and why they exist, it will empower them to take a new outlook on their past, present, and future. We will do the above by providing housing upon release, courses in: career development, life skills (personal financing and developing healthy relationships), Biblical Worldview. We have also developed partnerships with Denver Rescue Mission for following up and DenverWorks for job placement. The women will also have mentors to assist them in creating weekly time management plans.

Appleis announced switch to Intel processors is a major challenge for developers and isnit as easy as Apple CEO Steve Jobs has made it out to be, according to Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen.
The Adobe chief told Cnet News.com that "moving the applications over is not that easy.
"Steve (Jobs) likes to trivialize the process and make it seem easy," he said. "Getting over to MacTel is work...You just canit turn a switch and get a MacTel product--and Steve knows that."
Mr. Chizen said the first MacTel-optimized versions of Adobeis creative products wonit be available until the calendar fourth quarter of 2006 at the earliest. If that prediction holds true, it would mean some major software applications wonit be available in time for the first Intel-based Macs that are expected to be released in the calendar third quarter of next year.
But Mr. Chizen prefaced his comments by saying he thinks the hard work will be a great benefit.
"I think in the long run itis going to be great because what the users will get is better performance...and greater value," he said. "At Adobe, we tend to optimize for Intel today on the Windows side. The fact that weill be able to optimize for Intel cross-platform will make it even better for us."

State-run Korea Development Bank (KDB) and other creditor banks of Hanjin Shipping are considering granting conditional financial aid to the shipper known to be in dire straits of running behind payments in container and ship leases, according to sources at creditor banks.
Although creditors are in agreement not to offer any new aid apart from existing debt relief, they could deliberate compensating for about 20 percent of 1.2 trillion won ($1 billion) the company needs at least to stay in business until next year if its parent Hanjin Group provides 80 percent of the funds.

In short, they are proposing to put up 240 billion won if Hanjin Group covers at least 960 billion won.
Still, it remains uncertain whether Hanjin Group can finance the liquidity shortfall. Hanjin sees its group-wide maximum financing capability stand at 300 billion to 400 billion won and if it goes beyond that, it would be detrimental to Korean Air, the flagship company of Hanjin Group, said a ranking official of the conglomerate.
Creditors are determined to let the shipper go bankrupt if its liquidity troubles are not solved by Hanjin Group.
Hanjin Shipping has been courting external investors and trying to sell asset sales to meet the shortfall of up to 560 billion won.
Hanjin Shipping is reportedly trying to sell its cargo terminal in Southeast Asia. The company is also looking for investment from non-performing loan funds, but there is little progress.
An investment banking official familiar with the Hanjin matter said Hanjin is not that broken enough to need NPL investment but it is not in a situation where it can attract fresh investment from overseas. "This ambiguity hampers negotiations with foreign funds," the official added.

|Funded in part by a grant from the U.S. Department of Defense and developed by Nosang Myung, Ph.D., an associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, the technology addresses the key chemical and gas detection needs of a broad spectrum of industries, including commercial, industrial, security and the military.
|"This is an example of a great success story and partnership," said Craig Sheward, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Technology Commercialization at UCR. "A local commercialization company (Avisio), funding a start-up company (NEA) which will be located in Riverside, based on UCR's intellectual property, all for the benefit of bringing the technology to market and assisting in the economic development of Riverside. We are fortunate to have a company such as Avisio willing to take a chance on a new technology that could be the next big breakthrough in detecting chemicals quickly and safely."
|Eric Tonui, the licensing officer for this technology at UCR, said, "NEA has identified a significant underserved niche market in the chemical detection space with enormous profit potential. The company is poised to capture a first mover advantage in this space."
|Nano Engineered Applications and UC Riverside conducted a demonstration of the technology at a March 31 signing ceremony, which was attended by UC Riverside Chancellor Timothy P. White, Riverside Mayor Ronald O. Loveridge and executives from both NEA and Avisio.
|About Nano Engineered Applications, Inc.
|Nano Engineered Applications , Inc., is a majority owned subsidiary of Avisio formed to commercialize patent pending technnology that uses nano- and micro-electromechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS) to detect airborne chemicals.
|About Avisio, Inc.

Manchester United's deal for Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller may appear dead in the water, but reports from Germany are looking to bring it back to life. SportBild today say that Louis van Gaal remains intent on striking a deal for the World Cup winner, with it being claimed that the Dutchman has told chief transfer negotiator Ed Woodward to make it happen at all costs. Now with United having already spent a fair bit on the likes of Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Memphis Depay and Matteo Darmian, we're unsure to what extent 'at all costs' runs, but we'll keep you in the loop as and when we know. Meanwhile Tottenham Hotspur could stage a surprise bid for Ashley Young, having been told Yannick Bolasie will not be leaving Crystal Palace. It's said Spurs want a new wide-man, and Young fits the bill as Bolasie's cheaper alternative.
Louis van Gaal has told Ed Woodward to sign this man
