MANILA, Philippines--The current shortage of "knowledge workers" in the United Kingdom is good news for the country's outsourcing push in Europe.
A recent report from The Work Foundation, a London-based research and consultancy firm, said that the UK will need to attract more highly skilled workers from overseas for its high technology and "'knowledge intensive" industries.
The report's author noted that numbers are "relatively low," with only 167,000 high skilled workers in the country.
Reached for comment, Stephanie Weber, European IT Services Center (EITSC) business development manager, said UK companies have been suffering from the skills shortage for some time now.
According to the report, Filipinos are the third largest group of highly-skilled migrant workers, with a population of around 10,000. Indian nationals are by far the largest group with more than 45,000 followed by about 25,000 workers from the United States.
Next to the Philippines is South Africa (8,000) and Australia (6,500).
Under the previous work permit regime in the UK, 24 percent of highly skilled migrants were ICT professionals, 13 per cent were service managers and almost 10 percent in the healthcare sector.

2006 Jeep Jamboree - Canyon de ChellyPosted in Events on August 31, 2006
Canyon de Chelly (pronounced "d'shay") National Monument is a maze of rock-walled canyons located in northeastern Arizona. The name is a Spanish corruption of the Navajo word "tsegi," which means "canyon." The area is made up of over 130 square miles of land owned by the Navajo Nation. Each visitor to the park becomes a guest of the Navajo people who have called this place home for many centuries.
For the past 15 years, Jeep Jamboree USA has been holding this event, bringing together families from all over the country for a great weekend of wheeling and a little native history as well. This was our first trip to Chinle, Arizona, but will definitely not be our last.
With our coolers packed and camera batteries charged, we headed out to meet up with the rest of the group at the trailhead located at the mouth of the canyon. There were over 150 vehicles in attendance for this year's event, which may be small compared to some of the other Jeep Jamboree USA events, but it kept the canyon's traffic relatively light all day. There are a number of laws that any guest or group must obey in order to travel through the canyon: no alcohol is permitted on Navajo land at any time, do not remove any rocks or vegetation from the native land, and you must travel with a Navajo guide at all times. Canyon de Chelly is not only home to many of the Navajo in the area, but it is packed with the history of their people, and the only way to preserve that is by making sure guests show respect.
As we traveled into the canyon over a sandy wash, we knew that today would surely tell tales of what once was. The canyon walls are de Chelly sandstone, formed about 230 million years ago. The first people to live in the canyon were the Anasazi (Navajo for "the ancient ones"). They left no written language, only ruins, pottery, baskets, tools, weapons, jewelry, and paintings and pictographs on the canyon walls.
Our guide, Sylvia Watchman, has lived in Canyon de Chelly for her entire life, and her family has lived there for much longer. She explained to us the significance of everything we would pass throughout our journey with a sense of pride punctuating every story. The Navajo are proud of their heritage, proud of their land, and most of all, proud of their people and beliefs.
If you booked a ticket to this event in the past, then you know this trip is all about an adventure through history, not hard-core wheeling. If you are looking for axle-snapping fun, check out other Jeep Jamboree USA events, which happen all over the country.
Our first overwhelming vista came no later than 10 minutes into our trip. We quickly became surrounded by massive monolithic walls, reminding us that nature is in charge out here. Pulling out our telephoto lens, we noticed the small homes once occupied by the Anasazi people built several hundred feet up the rock walls. The Anasazi built their homes high above the flood plains to conserve the bottom lands for farming and cotton cultivation as well as a defensive tactic against enemies. The climate was also 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the canyon floor. It was simply amazing that even some of these primitive hogans (Navajo for "homes") were still standing despite the threats of dramatic weather conditions and vandalism. This is another testament to how much pride the Navajo Nation takes in keeping the history of this land alive.
Pictographs and petroglyphs covered many of the rock walls as our group made its way to the next rest stop. One of the most commonly found pictographs depicts the Flute Player, called Lahlanhoya by the Hopi Tribe. According to the traditions of the Flute Clan of the Navajo and the Hopi, it represents a clan symbol. Clan members would leave this drawing on the walls to mark the route taken on their long migration. Many people confuse the Flute Player with Kokopelli, but Kokopelli, a deity of the Asa Clan, rarely appears in rock art and was never depicted with a flute.
Along our tour, we ran into a number of local animals, including sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, and cattle. Some of these animals belong to the canyon inhabitants and provide necessary food for survival. Another rule our guide informed us of is that you are not allowed to take any pictures of the native people or their homes without permission. There were a number of great native settings we would have loved to show our readers, but unfortunately we couldn't locate someone to ask their permission.
Our first major stop for the day was at the White House Ruin. If you have even an ounce of appreciation for the history of this country, you will want to see this in person. This ruin was home to a great number of Anasazi families for many years. A good portion of the original foundation still exists. You really have to admire the persistence and perseverance it took to build structures like this by hand with only primitive tools.
Our final stop of the day brought us to Spider Rock. Spider Rock was home to Spider Woman, the subject of a Navajo legend. Nobody could see her, but they felt her presence. Sylvia told us a story about a man and his two sons who wanted very much to see Spider Woman and how the man would tell his sons that if they were good Spider Woman would bring them plentiful harvests as well as weapons to defend themselves. The holy people of the area said they would see her traveling on a rainbow from canyon to canyon. It has proven to be the most spiritual place in Canyon de Chelly.
After posing for a spectacular group shot, we all made our way back to the trailhead, stopping by one more location called Newspaper Rock. The pictographs were numerous, ranging from handprints, flutes, snakes and other creatures, to holy images, people, and fire. It seemed everywhere we turned there was a piece of history. At the end of the day, we can only suggest you sign up and participate in this event next year and visit the canyon for yourself. It is truly something you will never forget. We want to thank Jeep for having us, as well as Nancy Jenkins for clearing out her backseat.

So am I, actually. I'm wondering how it is that other blogs can get hundreds and millions of fuzzy love notes, while all two of my usual comments have to be sent to the lepers' colony.
Is it true that people will say anything as long as they can say it anonymously?
If you're anonymous, who's going to find out if you're being nice? Is nice no longer nice?
We may never know the answers to these eternal questions, but it's okay. As a highly skilled animal handler, I've got this one.
|Hey, kids, what time is it? Time to stand by while we get a handle on all this spam around here! Yea!
What I can't handle is the spam. And I don't mean the canned kind, although some of this stuff is pretty salty. However you slice it, the spam around here has reached such catastrophic proportions, even the automatic spam filters are gagging and going into cardiac arrest.
So I have us in lock-down. Maybe if I'm patient, the spam will give up and go away. One can hope.
Until then I hope you stay tuned, enjoy the programming, and have a wonderful time exploring the internet with no spam, no porn, no pop-ups, no malware, no viruses, no trojans, no trolls, no bots, no bullying, no bull! But maybe a nice little plate of Hot & Spicy Spam Coca, with Roasted Piquillo-Pineapple Escabèche, if you like.
Heh. As I finished writing this, the phone rang. It was spam.
Mark Morford: Death by moron / Has anonymous commenting destroyed meaningful online dialogue? Oh, hell yes
How Stuff Works: Spam is free speech run amok.

what a day. highest highs and lowest lows. it was a day of extremes. but it ended with a walk filled with lightning bugs and lightning, a peaceful heart and a knowledge of the holy.
i don't know if i would have experienced the highs so deeply without the lows of the day. all i do know is that yesterday was a gift. and it was wrapped in a van gogh starry night by the end.


text: I am considering putting my husband with late stage PSP in respite care for about 3 or 4 days so I can go on a short vacation trip & to reboot my batteries. Right now he weighs about l00 lbs, is mostly bedridden, can't talk very well, can't see too good, & I hand feed him. With my help he can still walk to the bathroom & to the car. His mind is still good though so I am afraid he is going to act pretty badly if I tell him about putting him in respite for about 3 or 4 days. I am wondering if you have to have a doctor's medical form or something before they will accept him. Does anyone know how this works?

However, with so many games needing so much space the standard hard drives are simply too small.
In todays gaming world where digital downloads are replacing disc media and even physical games require installation to the hard drive by default, 500GB hard drives found in the standard Xbox One and PS4 consoles - are just not enough.
You could opt for a 1TB model of the Xbox One S or the Xbox One X, that comes with 1TB as default, but considering games now go up to around 110GB including One X enhancements on the likes of Halo 5: Guardians, you will fill up even that internal drive quite quickly. Plus, with games of that size downloading is a a very long drawn out process, even with a 100Mbps connection or more.
A good solution to this issue is to add to or replace the hard drive on any of the Xbox consoles which is easy, it doesn't even require a screwdriver.
The Xbox One recognises external hard drives, as long as they have a USB 3.0 connection. Once installed they can be used in exactly the same way as the existing internal hard drive.
Expanding an Xbox One hard drive by a further 2TB lends enough space to store an estimated 100 games or 20 top end enhanced titles on Xbox One X. Being stored on an external hard drive such as the 2TB Seagate Game drive means games run smoothly and faster the internal drive on the Xbox One and Xbox One S.
The external drive
Our recommended choice as an external drive is a 2TB Seagate Game Drive at Amazon for £79.99 designed especially for Xbox and is good value for money too. It's USB 3.0, doesn't require an external power source, and its Xbox-adorned facia makes it a good fit. If you are an avid Xbox games player you can even opt for a 4TB version at Amazon for £119.99 to fit even more games.
You can also add multiple drives - after all there are three USB 3.0 ports on the Xbox One but be aware that the Xbox One can only accept up to three external drives in total.
Also see: Xbox One X Tips: Make the most of your new console
The external hard drive set-up
Once you have your drive ready, set-up is simple. Plug it into one of the three USB 3.0 ports (two on the rear, one on the front or side depending on the model) when the Xbox One is on. A message will pop up on screen to show it recognises that the drive has been connected.
You can either go to the settings through interaction with the pop-up or head there manually and enter the "System" settings.
In there you will see the "storage" icon. Select it and the next page will show your existing external hard drive alongside the new one.
The new hard drive will most likely need to be formatted before it can be used for anything other than storing video, picture and music files. The Xbox One needs to do that itself. So choose the new drive and scroll down to the option "Format". Select "Format storage device" and a new screen will pop up with a keyboard to select the drive's name.
We kept the default name "External Drive" and chose to install new games and apps to the new drive when asked.
Formatting the drive takes no more than five or six seconds and that's it.
On your My Games & Apps screen you will now see that the entire storage available, both internally and externally, is accumulated into one statistic.
We also recommend that you completely shut down your Xbox One and reboot, the hard drives will be initiated and available to use.
Moving games and performance
In our tests we found no discernible difference in loading speeds generally, at least on the original Xbox One and Xbox One S.
The internal drive in the Xbox One X is of course newer and much faster than previous standard hard drives, so you might get a slight lag in speeds, but the extra storage more than makes up for that.
One benefit of moving games from the internal to the external drive is that you will be able to play your downloaded titles on a friend's Xbox One by just connecting the hard drive to their console and signing into your profile. You don't then need to redownload any games you wish to play. That's another good reason for opting for a more portable USB 3.0 drive like the Seagate Game Drive.

[The Hexagon Hotel]
Description: A color photograph of the Hexagon Hotel is shown here. Please note the Convention Hall to the right (north) of the Hotel. The Convention Hall was built in 1925 to accommodate the West Texas Chamber of Commerce Convention, and was built over a portion of the foundation of the electric power plant of the hotel. In 1897 Galbraith was granted, by city ordinance, a 50-year franchise to illuminate the city. The Hexagon Hotel was torn down in 1959. Ira Tarwater (who had been contracted to do the work) remarked that "[I]t was the most novel building I have to tear down." He later said that he regretted doing it. The Convention Center was demolished in 1977.

I'm back to the blog again after a little break, and starting by going to Pro Beauty at London Excel was a great way to get a few new ideas and see all the latest products.
I was literally in heaven surrounded by nail varnish, lashes, products, and new treatments the list is as long as my arm!
My first post is all about Essie Polish I got 6 new colours at the show, which I felt was very restrained!
This picture is only some of the polish from the stand.
The new six! (left to right)
1. Mambo
2. Peach Daiquiri
3. Need A Vacation
4. Bond With Whomever
5. Dive Bar
6. Damsel In A Dress
1. Mambo
A pale nude colour. Nice for days when your nails look a bit sorry for them self and need to not draw attention but look well manicured.
2. Peach Daiquiri
The name makes your mouth water in the same way this colour does. I would probably describe it as a pink coral nice for summer with a good tan.
3. Need A Vacation
Soft pastel pink, with good solid coverage.
4. Bond With Whomever
Pastel purple very on trend this season. So I have been told with lots of pastel colours at the oscars this year. This I can see being my favourite colour this summer.
5. Dive Bar
I LOVE this colour! Out of all six this is by far my favourite. The picture doesn't do it justice, dark navy with a deep green turquoise glitter. This is one of those colour which when you look from different angles you see more colours.
6. Damsel In A Dress
Dark purple shimmer. Another deep rich colour dark purple with purple shimmer a lovely dark but one where you are still able to see the colour.
Which is your favourite?


text: I think I saw some one do this but am unsure, if I remembered it or had thought it up, in his bio it says he is indeed a Pteradon in the mode without the Lynx section, I was thinking of making some kind of approximation of this at some point. I would not want to just copy the transformation of Terrorsaur and would not want to just use another pteradon's transformation but eventually make something new. Does any one know what I am talking about if indeed their was a picture, art, or crack at this already? thanks I accidentally posted this in the Toy Ark if some one can delete that on it would be great.

It's 10 a.m. on a sunny Saturday, and dozens of perky patrons are chattering in lines. Decked out in shorts and T-shirts, they're waiting for the go-ahead to claim a giant ring of rubber — that deceptively simple, satisfying piece of "sports" equipment better known to leisure lovers as an inner tube.
The friendly scene is taking place at Delaware River Tubing, located about 90 minutes from New York City in Frenchtown, NJ, off Route 29. Something of an inflatable empire — 2,500 wannabe tubers are expected by end of day — it's bustling with upward of 80 employees, including owner Greg Crance, a beefy former Marine weaving through mountains of Pepto-pink tubes, with a commanding presence.
Group by group, the go-ahead is given, and tubes are snatched up. Next, shuttle buses are boarded carefully, as everyone brings their tubes with them for the laziest three to four hours their lazy bums could ever imagine.
"Pack it in like doughnuts!" shouts a male bus driver with a scraggly, hippie-looking ponytail. Toto, we're not in Midtown anymore.
After a 10-minute ride to the river, tubers wait on another line to get to the boarding zone. Once in front, groups are situated on the river with ample help from able-bodied young men.
From there, it's smooth sailing — er, floating — in water that rarely gets deeper than 4 feet. While tubes start out clustered, nature takes it course as the fresh water flows and the floats separate, giving people plenty of breathing room.
Crance, after years in the business, found that many customers' attempts at sticking together — tying tubes with ropes — were both a pain in the neck and risky. (If your tube-mate goes under, guess who's joining him?) So in 2009, he created the Stay Together Strap ($2 to rent), a strap similar to that on a life jacket, which is easily looped around two tubes and then attached with snaps. To disconnect, you simply unsnap. Abandoning your loved ones has never been so easy.
Trying the straps are 43-year-old Pamela Rhoades of Glenside, Pa., and her family — her husband, Richard, and their kids, Cameron, 5, and Quincy, 9 — who were celebrating a small lottery prize she'd won the day before.
"We've never gone tubing," Rhoades says enthusiastically midway through the route, where tubers stop for lunch on a rocky beach. "We love it. We love the comfortable pace."
Just off the beach is a floating hot dog stand, another Crance creation. Tubing admission includes a choice of two grilled hot dogs or one hamburger, plus chips, a soft drink or lemonade, and a frozen candy bar.
"We came for the hot dogs," jokes Camille Paredes, a 26-year-old from Jamaica, Queens. "No, really. It's relaxing and a great getaway."
After the scarf-down, it's back into the water for a couple of more hours of relaxation. When the ride is over, it's back on the bus — "Pack it in like doughnuts!" a bus driver loudly reminds them.
For Crance, a day at Delaware River Tubing isn't about any one thing. It's about time on the water, being in nature and the people you spend it with.
"Tubing is like life," says Crance, pausing to let his words settle in. "You do it for the ride, not to get to the end."
Open daily through Sept. 9; weekends only in September. Trips start at $26.16 and include lunch. It's $12 to buy Crocs for those who forgot water shoes or sneakers. 2998 Daniel Bray Highway, Frenchtown, NJ; 908-996-5386; delawarerivertubing.com

NAPLES, Fla. — Craig Stadler shot a bogey-free five-under-par 67 in 30-mph wind Saturday to take a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Champions Tour's ACE Group Classic.
Stadler, back on the 50-and-over tour after tying for 35th last week in the PGA Tour's Pebble Beach event, had a 10-under 134 total on the TwinEagles course.
"It was a pretty good day of survival," Stadler said. "This couldn't be a harder golf course today.... I made a bunch of four- and five-footers, which in the conditions there was a pretty good chance you'd miss a couple, but I pretty much hit every one."
Stadler won the B.C. Open last year to become the first senior tour player to win a PGA Tour event. He also won three times on the Champions Tour after turning 50 in June.

The Travelers' Christmas Tree
The Society has an old 33 1/3 long playing record that captures the magic of the 1954 lighting ceremony, including carols by the B & O Glee Club and the B & O Women's Music Choir. That old vinyl, a long unheard broadcast, has sat silently on a shelf, but we recently digitized the audio. We then enjoyed the snap, crackle and pop of the vinyl recording, as another lost Cecil County sound poured from the speakers. Musical selections directed by Dr. James Allan Dash, a narration by the master of ceremonies Walter Linthicum, gasps of delight and loud applause, and much more poured from our speakers. We're going to post a special vidcast containing portions of that broadcast this week so you too may enjoy the special festive occassion that took place over a half-century-ago.
To illustrate the audio, we have a selection of photos from Jim Cheeseman, old postcards and B & O railroad materials of past evenings along the tracks. But we needed some current shots for the vidcast so on an unseasonably cold Saturday, about the time dusk was settling on the head of the bay, we drove down Holly Tree Lane. On this early winter evening, we found three members of the Holly Tree Committee getting things in order for the festive evening on Dec 1st. Mike Morgan, President of the group, along with Ed Slicer, former Cecil County Director of Parks and Recreation, and John Gallaher were there working through the cold approaching darkness to make sure everything worked. So we talked with the volunteers, took a few photos, and then drove down to Port Deposit to enjoy a fine evening meal at CM Tuggs, in the heart of another old county town, Port Deposit that is ready for the Christmas season.
Be sure to check back later this week for the vidcast and come to the opening ceremony on Dec. 1 from 4 to 6 p.m.

My family has been going to the "Travelers" Holly Tree for 4 generations now. It still brings back memories of times spent with my mother when she was still with us. Just not Christmas until we visit the Holly Tree. Do you know when Santa will be there for the 2008 holiday season? My kids are so looking forward to it & have been asking when we will be going.ReplyDelete

My dad used to take my sisters and I to see the Traveler's Christmas Tree every year when I was a little girl. My Dad passed way 14 years ago. I have been searching, from memory, for this tree. This year I found it! I brought one of my sisters with me and showed her the tree (she was very little when we used to come every year to see the tree). My sister said "I thought it was bigger". I reminded her that she was a lot smaller in those days. We have decided, in honor of our father, to continue the tradition and bring our children and grandchildren to see the tree. Thank you for keeping these memories alive. See you at the Tree!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your memories here.ReplyDelete
Giving quotes give you close feeling of thankfulness towards the person you like. A gift or present is the transfer of money, goods, etc., without the direct reward that is involved in business or trade. In many human societies, the act of exchanging gifts contributes to social structure, and the Giving quotes show this trend of the human society. Thanks for this nice blog!ReplyDelete

'Through train' sparks fresh interest in FTZ property
Cross-border stock-trading plan generates newfound interest in Shanghai free-trade zone as speculators see chance for higher returns
Related topics
Li Liang was overjoyed last week when he began to be swamped by inquiries about office rent and commercial property available for purchase in the free-trade zone (FTZ) in the Waigaoqiao area of Shanghai.
The manager of real estate brokerage Han Ju was all but certain that the "through train" cross-border stock trading plan had sparked a new round of enthusiasm about property in the FTZ.
"The clients came to sniff, as they believed the scheme was a fresh sign that the FTZ had a bright outlook," he said. "Frankly, I am not sure whether the inquiries reflected real demand."
Frank Chen, CBRE China's head of research, said office rents surged in the FTZ after it was inaugurated in late September. They peaked at 5.90 yuan (HK$7.40) per square metre a day at the beginning of this year, 180 per cent higher than the average rent before the FTZ was announced in the middle of last year, he said.
Leasing demand softened recently, and the average rent slumped to 4.40 yuan per square metre per day at the end of the first quarter, a 25 per cent drop from the peak.
"The scheme is more than a catalyst," Li said. "Those enthusiastic investors tend to believe that something concrete will happen in the zone that will attract more companies to come."
The through train, which will allow Hong Kong and mainland investors to trade designated stocks in each other's market, was announced on April 10.
Some are convinced that dramatic financial liberalisation in the zone would result.
When Beijing launched the FTZ in Shanghai last year, it pledged to use it as a testing ground for further economic reforms, including moves towards the yuan's convertibility under the capital account - in other words, when the currency is used for investment rather than trade.
The through train, which links the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges, has also heightened expectations that the Shanghai bourse will establish internationally oriented subsidiaries in the FTZ.
Global property consultants predict that the through train programme will stimulate the growth of securities and wealth management companies, generating additional office demand at prime locations in Shanghai's Pudong district.
The knock-on impact would eventually spread to the FTZ at Waigaoqiao.
"The through train deal is not FTZ-specific, meaning companies do not need an FTZ regis- tration for the business," said Chen.
"But the initiative is in line with the financial reform and the opening-up policies being piloted in the FTZ."
Envisioning the creation of a "mini-Hong Kong" at the Shanghai FTZ, investors and companies gravitated late last year to Waigaoqiao to buy or rent office space.
Today, the fanfare surrounding the FTZ has given way to concern about a property bubble there, in the absence of concrete operating guidelines from the government regarding the scope of businesses and the direction of policies in the zone.
The vacancy rate in the FTZ area has remained at a lofty 30 per cent amid an increasing supply of low-end office space, as the owners of some industrial properties turned factory buildings into office buildings, according to Han Ju.
Leasing demand in the FTZ has weakened since "multinational firms wishing to establish a presence in the FTZ have already done so", JLL said in a report.
James Macdonald, head of research at Savills China, said there had not been a significant expansion in the FTZ by non-domestic firms since it was launched six months ago.
Local real estate agents said rents and property prices at Waigaoqiao had already reached an elevated level, judging from the balance between the supply and demand.
Li said the new inquires mainly came from "speculators" who were betting on a further price rise so that they could resell or sublease the properties at a premium.
"Unfortunately, it might be too late to join the speculative spree now," Li said. "The property prices and rents have already reached an unreasonable level despite the recent drops. After all, no one knows what will really happen in the zone."
However, Peter Garrison, director of industrial investment at Colliers International Shanghai, said the impact of the through train is more nationwide and less focused on the FTZ.
"If further commodity trading liberalisation had been included in future as part of the initiative, then this would have been quite significant for the zone," he said.
Michael Klibaner, regional director and head of research, Greater China, at JLL, said the scheme is unlikely to have a big impact on the market, given the small size of the announced trading quotas.

text: Early life exams are done more frequently to assess the growth and health of the young pet. A physical exam is performed. Nutrition will be discussed, as it is essential to proper growth and development. A fecal exam (with or without Giardia) is an additional screening test that should be done once, preferably twice, during the puppy wellness visits. Vaccination against the most commonly fatal diseases are done in the early months. When puppies and kittens are born, their mothers pass on natural immunity to diseases. As they grow, the antibodies diminish. They require multiple vaccinations to keep the antibodies at a safe level, protecting them from disease. Depending on the age that your puppy/kitten starts their vaccinations, the veterinarian will determine how many they receive. We recommend that they start receiving the Distemper combo vaccine at 7-8 weeks. "Booster" vaccines are given every 2-4 weeks until 14-16 weeks of age. At 16 weeks of age, they can receive the Rabies vaccine. The Distemper combo and Rabies are core vaccines that are recommend for all pets, and Rabies is required by law. If there are any additional vaccines that may be appropriate, such as Lyme, Leptospirosis or Feline Leukemia, they will be discussed and then administered after all of the core vaccines are given. Flea and tick control and Heartworm prevention will be discussed.

Recession has become a four-letter word. Soon, it'll be bleeped out on the next super-violent but profanity-free TNT movie weekend; they can maim each other, fornicate and execute one another execution style, but please- no F-bombs, or the R-word.
A close cousin to the word, however, offers both an opportunity and a common word root: recess. And just like at the schoolyard, there seem to be more people running around, with a lot more free time on their hands. Free time, but no money, there's the rub…unless, you head to Karaoke.
One day in 11th grade, my best friend and I smuggled vodka to Minimum Day (why is there even school on a minimum day?) and I decided that the time was right: I went to get my hair cut just like hers. She had this short, spiky brassy-blond Billy Idol do, and it totally worked because her hair was straight.
Mine was not.
I remember my punk hairdresser, with pink and purple hair, trying to talk me out of it and telling me it just wasn't going to work on my head.
I locked myself in the bathroom for about 12 hours – did I think it was going to grow back? - and the next year or so was, shall we say, chock full of bad hair days. But eventually, I decided to own the new look; I put on just a little more periwinkle mascara, wore even bigger earrings, and Heather and I headed took a little road trip to San Francisco for some fun. Surely I'd fit in there.
Pier 39 had sea lions, tourists, seagulls, seagull droppings, and, in 1987, a Karaoke booth. You got to sing 2 songs and take home a cassette recording. For some reason, they thought that was a selling point.
I belted behind closed curtains, unabashedly hovering around the high notes on "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" and channeling Joan Jett through my hair, on "I Love Rock and Roll."
Fast forward about 15 years to a fateful night at the now defunct Grottos Bar in Aspen. Ike and Tina's "Proud Mary" was the poor unsuspecting tune. I had a partner, and at some point during the song and long after all the drinks, I decided that my mike wasn't turned up enough so I grabbed his; then proceeded to sing his part, too. Take that, Ike Turner.
I swore off Karaoke, cold turkey, and haven't returned to the stage since. But thank goodness others have. Karaoke is the poor (recessed) man's big night out, and Aspen has two new hot spots with drum machines.
On Thursday nights, The Crystal Palace Bar becomes more of a stage show than just a cool place to drink. There's the usual girl's night out favorite, Journey's "Don't Stop Believing"; the B-52's"Love Shack" always seems to be a group number; and then, there are some bold new choices and performances. Take the guy who sounds just like Cake doing Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive"; he throws the mike stand in the air, "Thank You Aspen!" and drops to his knees, throwing his head back with supreme stage presence. There are the folks who take it too seriously, and not because they can sing: Don't you get to a certain point in life, like by the 5th grade holiday recital, when you realize either you can, or can't, sing? It's OK to keep doing it, but not as though you actually are Aretha Franklin. But then I thought I was Tina Turner.
Actually not singing Karaoke is the best new part of Karaoke. Couples swing dancing, solo dancers doing their thing, people like me chiming in from the sidelines, thinking 'Oh I could sing this' but remaining in the peanut gallery like the two old guys in the balcony in the Muppets; the recession has truly made it the new affordable free-for-all and night on the town
Consider this:
"Hey honey, let's go out tonight! Have some fun. I know you got laid off, but now you have nights free and….
"Sure, babe, sounds good. You're right, we need a break. Economy be damned. I have just the place!"
Couple heads to Karaoke, hopefully he buys her a few drinks, and then the show heats up – the Rolling Stones, Natasha Bedingfield, The Honeydrippers, Robert Palmer and, of course, Journey. She tells everyone at the office the next day what an incredible night she had; it was a full-on music festival! She danced, she twirled…imagine, all those bands in one place. In Aspen! And no cover!? Her man is the BEST!
Bad Billy's also features Karaoke on Tuesday nights, maybe somewhere to get your feet wet midweek if you're just getting back in the game. I swore I heard Billy Idol there a few weeks ago, and as my buddy so astutely put it, "It takes a real man to sing Billy Idol." I told him it also takes straight blond hair to have Billy Idol's haircut.
We all need a little recess from reality these days, and mustering up the bravado to sing "Pour Some Sugar on Me" in front of many people who had no idea you could sing so well…it's proof positive that the human spirit shall endure. We'll get through this together, one set list at a time.

I don't know if you still need this information, but I've only just seen your request. We swam nude in junior highschool gym class - all the boys did. There was no misbehavior as we were closely supervised. There was some boistrousness in class, but none of it had to do with being nude. The girls swam in suits provided by the school and at other times then the boys. Only the older boys in Senior class were allowed to have suits given that they took them home to wash them. We still all took showers together and nothing was made of being nude with one another. The swimming classes were offered to the younger boys as they needed to be taught how to swim and how to do Red Cross Life Saving per the School Board. In High School it was accepted that everyone knew how to swim and do livesaving after having gone through these classes. Usually the olderboys on the swim team kept up with swimming classes at the higher grades. I don't recall if they helped the gym teachers in our class, but if they did they wore their suits. No one went in for medical leave that I knew of - but I knew I had to get through the basic swimming in order to pass gym class. Once one passed there was no longer any reason to take swimming in our high school. There was no trauma. I think more of the boys were worried about their nakedness and not noticing the nakedness of other boys. It didn't bother me since we went camping a lot and had to shower together. I understood why my sex was either larger or smaller than another boys at my age. I didn't care if other boys looked at me as long as they didn't touch me in a inappropriate manner. Even seeing the Senior boys I knew it was only a matter of time before I'd mature and be as large or larger than they were. It came to pass and I've never felt I had any reason to be embarrassed or ashamed. That boys nowadays seek out private showers and private dressing rooms is more odd to me than being in my early teens and being nude in front of other boys my age. Modesty is a virtue, but not if it's going to only be used by those who make a mockery of the human/male body. We were too busy swimming to keep our eyes open underwater also. We had several urban legends, One - That there was so much chlorine in the water that those with red-eyes after class we knew were the ones who took too much time underwater and Two - we'd make the girls pregnant when they got into the pool after us. Ah, the naivete of and the imaginations of young boys. The swim team practiced in their suits and anyone was welcome to watch. I'd have preferred to wear a suit, but understood the need to keep the lockers sanitary from molding suits and rusting our the lockers.
I hope I've answered all your questions satisfactorily. If not please contact me and I'll try to be more specific and responsive.

Made this for my wife for Christmas. Since she chose everything else on her list (and knows what she is getting), I thought that I would throw in an unexpected surprise. Made of white oak. Most components are 3/4" thick, the top is 1" thick. The bottom is rabbeted in and is 3/4" oak plywood. Dimensions: 23 1/4" tall, 38" wide and 20 1/2" front to back. I used my Leigh D4R on the dovetails. The top has a bullnose profile on all 4 edges. I'm going to wait until after she sees it to apply the finish. I'm not sure if she would prefer a clear finish or a tinted finish. It weighs a ton!

The third-largest wildfire in California history — which raged for more than two months in and around San Francisco's source of drinking water, the Tuolumne River — had no ill effects on The City's water supply, according to the results of a survey delivered Tuesday to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
The fire burned more than 257,000 acres of national park and forest, including 8 square miles' worth of land in the Hetch Hetchy watershed. However, much of that was not burned severely, including the surroundings of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park.
Repeated tests of water collected from the reservoir and farther downstream detected no change in quality.
The biggest risk to water quality was soil, rock and other sediment loosened by burned vegetation sliding into the reservoir during winter rains.
Water quality historically has been affected only by "major storm events," according to the SFPUC.
And though a dry winter with little to no rain in the Sierra Nevada mountains may spell water trouble down the road, the lack of precipitation has kept clean water flowing to the Bay Area, according to the SFPUC.
There have been two fires — one in 1948 and another in 1999 — that burned more of the watershed than the Rim Fire.

so even with Schweiger as a sidekick this should still be 3 hours of WW2 fun. I love long war movies. sorry for snapping at you Ashok0 as your comment seems directed at Til and Boll. It would be funny if Tarantino put Boll in as a Nazi and killed him in the movie, especially if it was some over the top INDY style death. LHombreSiniestro the article said Diane Kruger is Bridget Von Hammersmark so that is one chicka for you.

This cast is a let down to the over the years rumored cast!

How about confirming the roles before announcing the news? Speculation is not news.

I agree ABking. Given all of the hype surrounding this project over the past few years, Brad Pitt, Mike Myers and a boatload of lesser-knowns seems awfully anti-climactic. I'm sure the film will be entertaining, however losing the original rumored cast kills half of the fun.

You know, when I first started hearing about this film in the works years ago i became really excited and all of the casting possibilities. Then one by one all of the big name stars announced that they were unavailable due to Quentin's tight filming schedule. At first I was disappointed by the loss of Leonardo DeCaprio, Adam Sandler and Simon Pegg, but know with all of the confirmation of these lesser known actors I am excited all over again. Maybe this is exactly what this film needs-some new faces rather than the distraction of big stars. I'd still love to see Mike Myers play Hitler though.

What were you expecting? Stallone and Schwarzenegger? It´s not the 80´s anymore, they could make a remake of "the odd couple" but that´s it. And even if I´m not into the hype around Tarantino´s projects, you have to give him credit for giving Hollywood´s underdogs and B-Movie actors cool roles and let them shine in them. Who cared about John Travolta and Sam L. Jackson before "Pulp Fiction"?

I can recognize a lot of supporting, trivial actors and even I had to look this one up to see who the hell he is.
So unimportant, even his name misspelled in the body of the article (correct spelling in headline) goes unnoticed.
Coverage of this movie is bordering on overkill. Let's get one more article when the lead girl Shoshanna is cast, but I think we can skip headlining Marcel, a few more minor Germans, Shoshanna's family, the key grip, and the caterer.
Please.

Tarantino is utterly stuck in a vanity-project rut...Anyone else see the pattern here? Tall blonde gets revenge, bunch of yakky broads in a car get revenge, bunch of gun-toting Jews get revenge?
 Next to going Full Retard for an Oscar, revenge flicks are about the laziest form of film making imaginable...

when normally it would be Harry or Mori doing something w/ QT. I assume they don't want to come out and look like total asskissers that said director can do no wrong. It's better to not say anything at all then have to take up for this complete and total letdown so far w/ the exception of Pitt. But guys ask yourselves why isn't Harry or Mori doing the updates and why haven't' they commented on this presently. Because they sure had a lot to say about it for the last four or so years ago and since anything QT does in their reviews is brilliant I can't wait to see them take up for this monstrosity in the making. Look it, the dude has changed so many times on what he intended to do w/ this film and w/ such a short window to get it down doesn't bode well for what I want to see out of this project. I dont' want to see a revenge film thats supposed to compare w/ Diry Dozen or whatever the fuck else '70's film he's coping to some degree to be 80% talking and referencing '30's current bullshit back then, ala, germen films, etc. I saw in a different talkback where someone stated that the Cohen Bro's have QT'ed QT w/ No Country.... And I couldn't have agreed more. This guy gets too much acclaim when you have other directors out there presently: PTA, Fincher, Spike Jonez, Wes Anderson, Alexander Payne, hell even David O. Russell, Gore Verbinski and Soderbergh have proven to take more seriously and now of course you have to put into the category Chris Nolan. These guys are his peers to most respects. Started out sometime in the nineties and have kept the train rolling through the 2000's w/o missing a beat for the most part. But w/ this staff who gets the highest praise? QT, Rodriguez, Del Toro, Peter Jackson and recently everything Jude Apatow has a hand in. And I don't think it's a coincidence that staff on here get treated very well by the last group of folks I mentioned. Of course they couldn't be bribed by going to the set of Jackson's King Kong or QT and Rod's GRindhouse in Austin. Or Apatow's generous open door to whatever staff on here would like. Naw, that couldn't sway these guys.

I've never understood why someone would get mad that there's an article on AICN about something they don't care about.
if you don't care, why click on it and read it? and why bitch? I don't care about anime, so guess what I do? I SKIP THE FUCKING POSTS ABOUT ANIME.
you self-involved fucking assholes need to drop your sense of entitlement and try as hard as you can to not be mind-bending jerks. if you don't care, then DON'T READ IT! fucking pathetic fucking idiots. jesus christ, you're like whiney elderly people at a Denny's who go out to eat in hopes of finding 10 little things they can nitpick and complain about. except your 17 instead of 77, so you have no excuse.
even though it's part and parcel now, the AICN talkbacks didn't used to be full of sniveling jerks like you guys. I've been here for the whole ride, kiddos, and let me tell you, AICN is not going downhill...only the quality of the readership is...

And the last twenty minutes did not work for me. i know he was playing around with conventions, and i admire him for that, but it did not work for me. the superman dialogue was sub par, it was like he was compensating for all the people bitching about the lack of tarantino dialogue in the first kill bill. i was shocked by how much i did not like death proof, aesthetically it was great but the characters, dialogue, plot, acting were all awful. this bastards better be worth the wait

I agree with others that it seems very odd for him to be cast as a brit for what is essentially a one-scene cameo. And it isn't a great scene at that (like Walken's in Pulp, for example.)
 I wouldn't be surprised if it's a ruse, and he's really playing Winston Churchill, who's in the same scene.

So the piggy poo has undeniably hit the fan... man there's shit everywhere!
I'd like to clarify some points that I think might be being missed in the general shitstorm..
Cesar being investigated by L A County Animal Control...
- This is not about 'hating' on someone when they made a mistake. Cesar CHOSE to take the steps he did, in full knowledge of the dogs prior behaviour:
- Put the dog in with pigs
- Not use a muzzle
- Take off the lead
- It was no accident that Simon chased and caught the pig - the pig was
held by the hind leg, something that will guarantee a pig squeals
blue-murder. The only reason this was done was to cause the dog to bolt,
dramatically, and attack the pig. This was not a mistake, it was not an
'oops' moment, it was intentional and it constitutes animal baiting,
which is not legal.
In these frames you can see very clearly that the pig is held by the leg BEFORE Simon makes contact. The pig is struggling to get away and is held as Simon gets him.
And the dog latches onto the pigs ear - and note this Nat Geo, this is NOT a 'nip', the dog has hold of the pigs ear until Cesar pulls him off. That is not a 'nip', that is a bite, and it resulted in real physical injury to the pig.
- The pigs suffered not just a 'nip' to one pigs ear, they were chased, they were bitten repeatedly by the dog, and this was in addition to the pig who was held whilst Simon attacked, bit AND tore a chunk out of the pigs ear.
- Simon suffered too - this is an old dog, he has a short muzzle, he was put in a slip lead that we can see on removal has become too tight for some time: The first still shows how tight the leash is, the second still shows his owner removing it, she is sliding down the stopper that prevents the leash loosening off here, showing this leash was intentionally very tight.
Simon also suffered distress, and pain, which is not necessary and not acceptable in modern training.
- This whole procedure was not necessary. Simon was controllable on the lead around pigs, he never needed to be off lead with pigs.
- Had it been necessary to teach Simon to be calm and responsive to a handler or owner around pigs, that could have been achieved without force, aversives or risk to either dog or pig.
- The steps that were taken, the risks that were taken were not done out of any necessity within dog training or behaviour modification. They were taken purely and soley for the benefit of TV ratings, to make dramatic television.
- Nat Geo would like you to believe that those of us complaining do not understand the 'context' of what occurred - I have in fact seen the whole episode and I understand it perfectly, if it is not as portrayed then Nat Geo need to look at how they edit their footage (for example, using out of sequence shots) - but I fail to see how they can possibly have edited it to LOOK as though a man is restraining a pig to bait a dog with, inciting an attack, if that is not what occurred.
They also claim that Millan took 'necessary precautions' prior to the incident - again, what precautions? No lead, no muzzle, dog locked in a pen full of pigs, pig held to cause dog to attack, pig attacked again whilst still held...
Where are these precautions Nat Geo?
The footage NatGeo have subsequently released of Simon after the training does not, to any professional, paint Cesar in any better light. Simon displays severe avoidance behaviours, that in my professional opinion, are only found where a dog has been subjected to severe aversive conditioning - in otherwords, Simon now finds both Cesar and the proximity of pigs to be so deeply traumatising that he is severely shut down and non-responsive.
Thats not humane training, it is not ethical training, and it is not training that will render Simon safe around other animals for life either, it isn't going to last and will need repeating - putting Simon through more distress and pain.
And finally - to those people who think that because the pig only suffered a minor injury so its ok...
No. The law does not determine cruelty on just the severity of the injury inflicted - cruelty can be carried out without ANY injury being inflicted at all.
And ask yourself, how minor would you think it if part of your own ear were torn off by someone elses dog - would you be chilled out and happy about that, brush it off as its just a scratch, its only a nip?
What about if Simon had torn part of a dogs ear off, or a horses, or a childs...
The degree of injury is not whats relevant here, its the fact it was not just allowed to happen but set up to happen, for the benefit of television audience ratings and money.
The bottom line is, if I see ANYONE attempting to train or handle dogs or other animals the way Millan does in this episode (or many others!), I will respond in the same way.
It is not about him, it is about what he chooses to do. Anyone choosing to use outdated methods that put animals at risk and work by causing fear, pain and distress, needs to be stopped.

**UPDATE: Please see our Ultimate End All guide to fixing all Bada/Android issues with Kies software
We know that there are many Samsung users that are still struggling with connecting your phone to your computer through Samsung Kies. While our solution isn't an end all for every issue concerning Kies, its definitely worth a try if you have been struggling with this for a while and haven't found a solution your specific problem yet. As always if you are having any problems or this doesn't fix your particular problem, let us know in the comments below and we'd be happy to research it for you.
Here is another method to fix your connection woes and if you are new to the site, we also wrote an article a while back to try this method as well: USB driver re-installation.
1. Open 'Command Prompt'
2. Type in 'cd c:\windows\system32' in the command prompt window (or replace the c with whatever drive letter you use as your main drive, typically it will be C though)
3. Type 'dir msxml*' and enter in the command window
4. If there is not an 'msxml6.dll' file shown in the list, download the file from the following link and make sure to leave your command prompt window open, you'll need it for later. Download the first file in the list at the bottom of the page called msxml6.msi and you have a 64-bit system download the bottom link called msxml6_x64.msi (if you're not sure what system you have just download the first one)
5. Double click on the .msi file and it should do the rest.
6. Go back to your command prompt window and register the libraries by doing the following:
=> Type ' regsvr32 msxml3.dll' and press enter in the command prompt
=> Type 'regsvr32 msxml6.dll' and press enter and you should see something similar to the screen below
7. Run Samsung kies and check if it is working properly.
Now if the above method doesn't work for you or if in Step 4 you see that you already have msxml6.dll and you are still having connection problems, then please tell us what exactly is happening in the comments below. Be sure to include the following when explaining the problem:
- Type of Phone
- Type of computer
- What Android OS you are running
- What OS is on your computer
- Describe exactly how you try and connect the phone to your computer each time (make sure to try the same method a couple times to make sure it's consistent) and write down all error messages or error reference numbers for us
Thanks and we will attend to you problem ASAP.

One of my favorite aspects of Outlook is the ability to re-use text instantly.
If you find yourself always sending out the same type of responses over and over again you can create something called quick parts in which all the content and formatting is already there, and you can easily insert it into your email.
To get started creating a quick part, you first need to get all your text set up just the way you want to.
What I have right now is a canned response that I find myself sending out a lot whenever I get a press inquiry about our hotels, because I'm not the right person to answer these questions.
I can get the content all set up, I can continue to edit the text, I can highlight it, I can change all my formatting.
It can be whatever color I want, it can also include tables and pictures.
When I'm done, I can click and drag with my mouse to select everything, then I'm going to change to the Insert tab and select Quick Parts.
Choose Save Selection to Quick Part Gallery.
I need to give it a name, I'll call this one "Press Inquiry".
The gallery needs to be Quick Parts, and in Options I need to decide how I want to insert it.
It can insert the content only, and it will leave the cursor right at the end of it.
I can choose to insert the content in its own paragraph, in which it will be in its own paragraph directly underneath wherever the cursor was, and it will also start the cursor on a new line, or it can insert the content into its own page.
I like inserting it into its own paragraph, so I'll select that, and then I'll click OK.
Now that I'm done with this formatting, I can close out of the email because I don't need it anymore.
I'll select No to discard the draft, and now let's see it in action. Here's an email with a press inquiry, I'm going to hit reply, and from here I'll change to the Insert ribbon tab, select Quick Parts, and I'll choose my press inquiry Quick Part.
As soon as I click on it, it inserts it into the email, and I can click the Send button.
That was much easier than having to re-type it all the time.
I'm going to close out of this, and let's go back and look at our Quick Parts.
To edit or delete a Quick Part, click New Email, change to the Insert tab, place the cursor in the body of the email and select Quick Parts.
From here, I can right-click on my Quick Part and select Organize and Delete.
I can see my Quick Part. If I want to remove it entirely, I can highlight it from the view, select Delete, I'll click Yes, I'm really sure, and then I can Close out of it.
I can create many Quick Parts for as many times as I find myself typing the same thing over and over again.

From the New Hampshire debate:
Governor RICHARDSON: Charlie, when I was secretary of Energy, that was one of my responsibilities, securing nuclear stockpiles, nuclear materials, mainly with the Soviet Union. And I went there many time; we made progress. But since then there's been a proliferation of loose nuclear weapons, mainly in the hands of terrorists, that could cross presumably a border, that could be smuggled in in a cargo ship with our very weak port security.
If I'm elected president, I will do two things. First, I will seek immediate negotiations with the Soviet Union and other nuclear states to reduce the number of nuclear weapons.
As a student of nuclear policy I'm surprised to learn that lots of nuclear weapons have fallen into the hands of terrorists, but I'm much more surprised to learn that the Soviet Union still exists. I was under the impression that the USSR ceased to exist back in December 1991. However, Governor Richardson's policy platform may include a "revive the Soviet Union" plank of which I was unaware. Seeing as such a revival would do wonders for my job prospects as a sovietologist, I am naturally in favor of it.
I wonder what the positions of the other candidates are on reviving the USSR so we can initiate disarmament negotiations with it? ;)
