valid. "But taking such an option off the table for a significant proportion of the population, for no other reason than antiquated tradition, is unfair, undemocratic, and indefensible. If a same-sex couple wants to reject marriage as an institution, it should be on their own terms, as equal citizens before the law, with the same choices as anyone else. "One final point. And I'm not going to waste it on Mr McCoskrie's assertion that same-sex marriage is in the same box as marriage legitimising incest and paedophilia, because frankly, merely stating that he made that assertion is enough. "Instead, I want to deal with this common myth shared by many social conservatives that allowing others access to marriage somehow weakens marriage. It's as if, by a same-sex or non-cisgendered couple declaring their love for one another, a conservative's own marriage is directly and intimately threatened. The passion by which they 'defend' marriage from 'redefinition' is matched only by their insecurity that, after thousands of years of adultery and human unfaithfulness, the institution of marriage can suddenly be toppled by two men, deeply and beautifully in love. "Can we please just calm down, and look at the situation rationally? Every person brings their own lens to marriage, and my interpretation of marriage as a straight may be every bit as unorthodox as my queer friend's interpretation.

He once confessed he was so apprehensive before a job that he would sit in his car praying that his subject would be away. He was scared to open the envelope containing his prints from the lab. Even now, he feels trepidation. Did he ever want to do anything else with his life? "Oh, yes. I played Peter Pan when I was seven." Other than more work, what is he planning for his 81st year? "Lunch." Lord Snowdon's mastery of the agonised silence applies well beyond his photo shoots. A combination of his deafness and an ingenious armoury of devices for deflecting personal questions make conversation with him a sort of verbal ping-pong. As soon as the ball falls to the floor, there's silence followed by some delightful but inconsequential story from his past, a piece of mimicry, a non-sequitur or the offer of a glass of wine. "Do you remember Wilfred Pickles?" he inquires vaguely, apropos of nothing. Apart from the verbal feints, there is an endless stock of ingenious things he has made and loves to show off. Some are blatant diversionary tactics but all of them intriguing. Snowdon has the mind and aptitude of an inventor and the nature of a practical joker.

by hand, if you are able to, means that your thoughts issue forth and are not censored -- as they are when writing at a keyboard. There are no 'mistakes' here, all words and thoughts are of value and have meaning. What to write in a journal -- anything and everything! As this is a fully private space anything can be put onto the page. So much of our day is spent keeping our feelings closed in and under control. This is where you can let out all that you feel: good, bad and ugly. Talk about your day, things that have happened, emotions you have felt, things said to you. When you are struggling with difficult feelings you can also consider writing to people. Write things down that you cannot say in person. Perhaps a person is no longer with you, or it is no longer possible to speak to someone to voice your pain. Or maybe you find uttering words face-to-face impossible. Pour the words and thoughts onto the page without planning or thought, just let them flow and let the pain and anger surface and have a voice. Also, your journal doesn't just have to contain writing, diagrams can be useful. If, for example, you are struggling with a decision about something or want to figure out some options, creating a picture -- mind mapping -- can be really helpful.

in all-important Ohio , where it was allowed for each of the five weekends before Election Day four years ago, and this year is allowed for only one. It's hard not to draw a line between that narrowing and a study released last month by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, which found that black voters vote early at 26 times the rate of white voters. This study was conducted in Cuyahoga County, an Obama stronghold. Then there's this statement in the Washington Post from the Ohio AFL-CIO , which is campaigning hard for the president: "This is what works for working-class folks. If they have a 9-to-5 job, they've got kids to pick up and a lot going on, the weekend is when they'll be able to get time to go vote." I suppose you could argue that given the resistance from Republicans, it's amazing that early voting happens at all in swing states. The federal appeals court that forced Ohio to open the polls for this past weekend pointed to "the unacceptably burdensome situation at many Ohio polling sites during the 2004 election where, in some countries, voters were required to stand in line for long hours and until late at night." The lesson of the weekend from Florida is that cut off by officials like the Miami-Dade mayor, early voting can also leave voters hanging. Maybe the hope is that if you frustrate people enough, they'll quit asking for it. But what we should want | IP | IP | 348,356 |
to write the manual from start to finish. This was also a rather large task, but most apps wouldn't require such a hefty undertaking. We then beta tested it (used the app to work out bugs and issues) and it was submitted to iTunes. From my first ideas of the concept, to its' being published in January 2012 , I spent about 18 months on this app. I could have written it faster, but I work full time and have a family I like spending time with, plus I'm a big perfectionist when it comes to these kinds of things. Learning Opportunities (a euphemism for Mistakes) One thing I learned through this process is that you need to think through every possible functionality or navigation of the app from the start. I mean VERY specific and detailed. I got most of them, but forgot to highlight the idea that the profile can be stopped at any time with skipped sections. I had thought through colour coding yellow in the results to indicate that a section had been skipped, but not how to quit the 'test' portion if you don't want to do the final section(s). So the programmer coded the app (initially) so that it only finished the 'test' and went to the results once you administer the last section, which is how other apps had worked (like the Sunny Articulation Test, for example).

young people on www.hdaustralia.org ow can i tell if someones account is real e.g someone claims they are greyson chance- how do i know this is true?? emily (11) has just sent in a question. Name: emily Age: 11 Question: how can i tell if someones account is real e.g someone claims they are greyson chance- how do i know this is true?? Hi Emily, I assume by greyson chance you mean that someone has told you their HD test result is in the grey zone? If this is correct then this is a difficult result to explain. It many mean that the person themselves will not get HD but there is a small chance (less than 10%) that their children or grandchildren or even great grandchildren could get it. Or it could mean it is not 100% definite that the person will get it but their children still have a 50% chance to get it. One way that you could check if what the erson is saying is true is to ask the person to tell you what the actual numbers of their test result are. There should be two numbers and they should have been told these, or given a report with the numbers on it, if the result is in the grey zone. If you can find out the numbers you can send another question with this information and I should be able to answer it more clearly. I hope this helps. Fiona ow can you tell | ID | ID QA | 618,491 |

Rich Interestingly, words being pronounced with or without the "h" is partially locality based (NYC folks typically drop the "h") and partially age based (>60 tend to drop the "h"). In my case, my folks were from Booklyn and pronounced "human" as "uman". It's all in the area with which they both grew up in (they are in their mid/late 70?s). The spelling of the words "wrong" is the difference between British English and American English. For what it is worth, I have to say.. Zed? Really.. C'mon now.. that just being pretentious. Like the author's irritation drawn by their interpretation of Americans dropping the letter "h" to pronounce "herb" as "erb", pronouncing the last letter of the alphabet as "Zed" doesn't impress anyone.

Any clueless restaurant managers should apply for a job there, as they are hiring poor customer oriented mgrs.

Simple seafood dishes usually served with steamed vegetables and a sauce of some sort. My girlfriend's seared ahi tuna plate was a little less than $30. What came on her plate? The tuna itself, rice pilaf, vegetables and sauce. This dish was no different from all other dishes on the menu. I am a repeat patron and the dishes (the way the seafood dishes are served and presented) still have not changed. As for the decor, it was nice and elegant and upscale.

the community -- not just government, but business, social groups, unions, institutes of learning, and beyond. For the benefit of this audience, I would not propose to dwell over-much on those recommendations, particularly as they pertain to domestic economic policy. But I will briefly outline the other four areas covered. Building capabilities -- education, training and business needs In "building capabilities", beyond the need to maintain and improve upon our high-quality education and training systems, the White Paper states that: "Australians need an evolving set of Asia-relevant capabilities that are both broad and specialised. Governments, businesses, institutions and individuals all have a role to play in building these capabilities." The Paper sets out an objective that every Australian school student will have significant exposure to studies of Asia across the curriculum. To that end, all schools will engage with at least one school in Asia; and all Australian students will have the opportunity, and be encouraged, to undertake a continuous course of study in an Asian language throughout their years of schooling. Priority Asian languages will be Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian and Japanese. In this way, it is hoped that learning about Asia will be business-as-usual for every Australian school and every Australian student. Elsewhere, the White Paper also talks of the need to support in-Asia study by Australian students -- something I strongly support. The White Paper also sets out the need for Australian researchers to continue to engage with Asia in their fields of study. This is already happening | SP | SP FS | 436,493 |

first college appointment, is written in the third person, which threw me off, as this is a memoir. It also struck me as odd, because in a later chapter the author says, "The days when I thought of myself in third person were long past." I'm not even sure what that means, but I guess it isn't a true statement. Much of the narrative will appeal to people who are immersed in the world of academe. To those of us who are not, it can seem insular and meaningless. The chapters in which the author describes her childhood on a remote Montana ranch were more appealing to me. These parts of the book remind me of Jill Ker Conway's The Road from Coorain , which I enjoyed more. What really impeded my appreciation of this book is the whiny tone of the author, who on paper seems to take responsibility for the actions that shaped her life, but who in reality hasn't. She married young out of lust, she married a second time out of lust. She chose to stay with the second husband, even though his antagonistic and demented nature alienated her children. "Our home was not a place anyone would choose to be," she writes. Ah, but she did choose that home. It isn't any wonder her son hasn't spoken to her in 25 years. She doesn't seem too bothered by the estrangement anyway. "I am who I am, and I did what I did," she concludes defiantly. | IP | IP DS | 306,446 |

I took the deal, and began working on my little product under the name mophie -- named for my two golden retrievers, Molly & Sophie. The origin of the name 'Mophie' mophie had a rocky beginning. I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. My security blanket was the money I had raised, so I used it to learn. The $185,000 my parent's bet their house on quickly vanished in the back streets of Shenzhen.

These are the easiest writing assignments -- I mean who would ever think 'I'm going to write something about basements'? Some years ago, in New Orleans, a friend and I helped jump-start a stranded pink Cadillac. Afterwards the grateful owner -- a Rockabilly hipster with slicked back pompadour and aviation shades -- told us to come visit him at his bar. "I'm Dungeon people,"_ he said, chewing on a wooden toothpick. The Dungeon turned out to be the perfect namesake -- the bar was dark and narrow in parts, with sweaty brick walls and furtive patrons. Over tumblers of courtesy bourbon, our new friend told us that, although above ground, his bar was really for "basement types."_ Basement types, he said, "lived below the water line."_ At the time I assumed the man was talking about underground culture or some other stylish scene of which I was oblivious, so I just nodded and kept drinking. But his words stayed with me, and over the years they've taken on a more existential -- if literal -- cast. Because now I think he was just talking about basements -- the kind found under homes -- and what it means to dwell in them.

the middle rounds (Howse, Reinhart as examples). Armia was available. Could have picked him. Big player who can score. And he's a Finn! Good hockey country. McNeil was available. Downside for him is a 3rd liner. And even if he didn't make it as a top six scorer, would likely be a reliable top 9 player like Malhotra. Bottom line, there were many other players available at that spot who would have been a better pick than Bartshi. Lets summarize Bartshi: -He doesn't skate well. -He avoids traffic. -He's a smurf, and therefore is either going to be a top six forward in the NHL, or he is going to be a complete bust. No middle ground for this guy. -Has not produced when playing against the best of his peers. In fact, when he has played against the best of his peers, has demonstrated to be nothing more than a perimeter player who shy's away from traffic. This is very telling of what can be expected in the future from him. If he can't perform well against the best of his peers, how do you think he's going to do against the best players in the world? -He has an October birthday, meaning that he is one of the oldest 18 year olds available in the draft.

one of their games, even the one in which they rallied to beat the Saints in OT, the Chiefs have been behind by at least 18 points. They are the only team this season that has yet to produce a passing play of more than 40 yards. Having a quarterback might not be everything, but it would be a huge help. Look at how rookie quarterbacks have helped Indianapolis, Washington, Miami, Cleveland and Seattle. There never has been a time in which evaluators have a stronger belief that rookie quarterbacks are ready. The top-rated quarterbacks for the 2013 NFL draft in April -- Matt Barkley, Geno Smith, Landry Jones and Tyler Wilson -- have start-early potential. There can't be any more excuses. After seeing Cassel and Quinn, Kansas City can agree the time has come to draft a capable quarterback.

of Clerk Maxwell, and it's the missing piece of intuition that we need to develop in young people. The electron isn't the disturbance of something else. It is its own thing. The electron is the thing that's wiggling, and the wave is the electron. It is its own medium. You don't need something for it to be in, because if you did it would be buffeted about and all messed up. So the only pure way to have a wave is for it to be its own medium. The electron isn't something that has a fixed physical shape. Waves propagate outwards, and they can be large or small. That's what waves do. So how big is an electron? It expands to fit the container it's in. That may be a positive charge that's attracting it--a hydrogen atom--or the walls of a conductor. A piece of wire is a container for electrons. They simply fill out the piece of wire. That's what all waves do. If you try to gather them into a smaller space, the energy level goes up. That's what these Copenhagen guys call the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. But there's nothing uncertain about it. It's just a property of waves. Confine them, and you have more wavelengths in a given space, and that means a higher frequency and higher energy. But a quantum wave also tends to go to the state of lowest energy, so it will expand as long as you let it. You can make an electron | ID | ID DF | 444,213 |

much less keen on listening when they get tough answers back" You say in the book that the gap between the Westminster village and everyone else has never been greater. Would you say that comes in spite of more effort than ever to close that gap? No, I wouldn't actually. I don't think that there has been enough of an effort to close the gap. One of my conclusions in the book is that politicians listen very hard when they want to be elected. They listen when they get answers they find it easy to deal with -- they are much less keen on listening when they get tough answers back. Throughout most of the time that I was involved, there was plenty of evidence flagging up problems and issues and things that politicians might think about. But where things were difficult to address, political leaders sometimes shied away from that. Just take expenses: my findings - and I reported them back to politicians - had told me for a long time that there was growing mistrust about what politicians actually did, how they were rewarded, what their motivations were. There were lots of opportunities to address that. It didn't happen.

We`re very close to find the best possible line-up with the players we have The first match of this season's F.A. Cup campaign can be archived after a comfortable 3-1 win over Plymouth Argyle. It was also the first match of the year and ahead of these last six months of the season, it's decision time for Wenger who has to decide who to sign and find the "ideal line-up" for this Arsenal squad. Time to stick with one set of centre-backs During the course of the season Toure, Silvestre, Gallas and Djourou were all rotated at the back and it just didn't happen often to have the same set of centre-backs for a number of consecutive matches. Now I believe yesterday's duo -- Billy and Johann -- should be our regular set of centre-backs. A lot has been set on William's past, present and future but I honestly believe that he can still give a lot to Arsenal. I also believe Toure can give a lot to the side and he would be very useful when we face fast strikers as Gallas gets outpaced easily when we do.

Discover Yahoo! With Your Friends YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY Poll: Do expectant mums want double beds on the maternity ward? Fathers are being encouraged to be more involved in their child's birth with a raft of new suggestions for maternity services, but would you want him in the birthing pool? By Kim Hookem-Smith | Yahoo Lifestyle -- Mon, Nov 12, 2012 11:57 GMT Expectant mothers could find themselves sharing the birthing pool with their baby's father during childbirth, according to a new scheme that would revolutionise maternity wards. Dads may soon be able to stay with their family on the maternity ward In efforts to make dads more involved in their child's birth, a new 25 million Government plan is suggesting the NHS installs double beds and larger birthing pools to give men the chance to share the experience with the mother. As well as offering more inclusive sleeping arrangements, the new scheme also stresses the importance of adding increased sensitivity to individual situations - such as ensuring women who have lost babies are not put on wards with newborns. Health minister Dan Poulter explained that the drive is aimed at supporting couples through the life shift of having a baby and to empower men to be part of the changes. "The period after a baby is born is clearly a very joyous time but it is also a very stressful time -- relationships are most likely to break up in the year after a baby," said Dr Poulter.

natural recorders. Their annual rings not only give scientists a built-in date, they also contain a record of past temperature and precipitation. FRANCO BIONDI: Each one of these layers is an annual layer seen in cross-section. The annual layer is formed by these two portions together, the early wood and the late wood. And the width of the layer is our first indication of a climate pattern. So the narrow band that you see here indicates a year when the winter and spring were drier than normal. And then the larger layers that you see here indicate a period when winter and spring precipitation were more abundant than normal. NARRATOR: Trees are very common on land, but for the three quarters of the planet covered by ocean, scientists need other recorders. Like trees, corals can live for hundreds of years and grow at different rates, depending on the temperature at the sea surface. The Earth's temperature is also preserved in the chemistry of ice layers extracted from glaciers all around the world. Each natural recorder produces estimates of temperature and rainfall for a given place and time. Combining them all, scientists have been able to extend back the temperature record for the northern hemisphere about 1,000 years. According to this graph published in 1999, the 20th century's one degree warming stands out dramatically.

a deal that includes Ethier. Is Andrew McCuthchen available? After all, there will come a time when the Pirates can't afford him. Since he probably signed a big league contract, I am guessing that Yasiel Puig likely doesn't fall in the category of recently signed players who can't be traded for a year. Get me McCuthchen, and I'd include Puig in the deal, even paying the entire $42 million over the next 6 or 7 years. And, of course, to get Price the Dodgers would likely have to include more than Gordon and Ethier, since the latter would probably be going to the third team. This is all very complicated, and would likely take some creativity, which I'm sure Kasten, and even Colletti, are not lacking. They haven't choked until they are out of it. choke: fail to do something; leave something undone. If they make the play-offs, it's hardly a failure. That's the goal. And I don't buy Atlanta is a better team. If the Dodgers make the play-offs, they will be the hottest team entering the tournament. And if the championship is the thing left "undone", then every team in the league save one are chokers. L.A. will more likely go after free agents won't they?

the empowering statute. Consultation There is no formal legal requirement of consultation in New Zealand before delegated legislation is made. However, empowering provisions often contain requirements relating to consultation. Consultation must be meaningful. A duty to consult requires that the person or body consulted is given sufficient opportunity to state their views "before the mind of the executive becomes unduly fixed". In considering whether a consultation requirement has been satisfied, the following principles should be taken into account: consultation does not require agreement or even negotiations towards agreement: more than mere notification is required: for consultation to be meaningful, sufficient information must be made available to enable the other party to be adequately informed so as to be able to make intelligent and useful responses. For further information concerning the principles relating to consultation, see Wellington International Airport Limited v Air New Zealand [1993] 1 NZLR 671. Some statutes that contain a consultation requirement contain an additional provision, that specifies that a failure to comply with the consultation requirement does not invalidate the delegated legislation. The purpose of the provision is to save delegated legislation where someone was missed out in the course of a genuine consultation process. It is not intended to protect against a deliberate decision not to consult. Other preconditions The empowering provision may provide for the delegated legislation to be made only on the recommendation of a specified Minister or other person or body.

The digital world is a remarkable place, and not only because of the vast number of diverse voices and opinions it supports. It is a place full of vibrant ideas and communities around them. For example, Reddit can have millions of users and still be a counter-cultural site full of people who can find communities by subscribing to the things they care the most about, now matter how niche the subject matter. It's also a place where smaller contributions from many can empower real action. Kickstarter has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for projects that likely never would have become realities. Similarly, charitable acts have never been closer than a click away. Whether raising money for people in need through crowdfunding platforms, or helping people organize to do service work in the real world, it's never been easier to make a difference for someone you've never met before. But the digital world can also be a crowded place. Things can change, and fast. The state of the industry is that of flux, with things constantly moving forward.

state tax collectors to accept their newly printed currency as legal tender, and the Confederate Treasury barely even collected national taxes. Without an effective tax regime (either state or national) to anchor the CSA currency and drain money to reduce its inflationary pressure, the results were inevitable (Q. did South's basketcase economy result from or cause its military setbacks?) -- Ironically, the Confederate decision to turn to paper money in lieu of a system of internal taxation abetted the most odious, regressive form of de facto taxation southern society endured: runaway inflation, appearing in the wake of military reversals in 1862, and topping 9,000 percent by war's end. (quoting same article as above -- a fascinating read). I never did see how 'legal tender' laws had anything to do with it. All that's needed is the currency be the only thing accepted for payment of taxes. The Confederate currency did manage to keep 1 million men in the field for maybe 5 years without being 'backed' by anything. It was needed by the states to pay taxes, though compliance was spotty. The real tax was the real resources taken from the private sector- food, people, etc. Real taxes are paid when the govt spends which is the actual transfer of real goods and services.

But instead of providing the funds, the ISRF nixed the project, assessing its value as "nil." One diabetes expert testified that anything more than 70 pounds per person per year -- about half of what is sold in America today -- might spark epidemics. The industry followed a similar strategy when it came to diabetes. By 1973, links between sugar, diabetes, and heart disease were sufficiently troubling that Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota convened a hearing of his Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs to address the issue. An international panel of experts -- including Yudkin and Walter Mertz, head of the Human Nutrition Institute at the Department of Agriculture -- testified that variations in sugar consumption were the best explanation for the differences in diabetes rates between populations, and that research by the USDA and others supported the notion that eating too much sugar promotes dramatic population-wide increases in the disease. One panelist, South African diabetes specialist George Campbell, suggested that anything more than 70 pounds per person per year -- about half of what is sold in America today -- would spark epidemics.

To decide this, one has to select criteria, and then the criteria for determining the right criteria comes into play, and one is caught in a reductio . This is why I never argue this stuff with Austrians. The foregone conclusion it that it will end in stalemate at fundamental assumptions. Thank you for your excellent reply, Tom Hickey, with which I agree wholeheartedly. The assertion that taxes are necessary for public acceptance of fiat currency is a theory. You have stated my question better than I stated it. However, Warren Mosler must answer for his assertion that this theory is supported by evidence unless he can point to such evidence. Surely a theory not supported by evidence is not a basis for action. As for logic as proof, it seems illogical to me that a vast world economy transacting in USD would rest upon the foundation of the currency's acceptance for US tax purposes. Fiat currency is accepted because it is legal tender for settlement of all debts, public and private. The Chartalist claim is not that taxation is the only reason that people accept state money as a medium of exchange. The other theories of money all offer good reasons for doing so, and there are probably others. I don't think that anyone denies that money has utility, for instance, and that utility is a factor in the use of money. What Chartalism posits is that taxation is | IP | IP DS | 266,529 |

Peter B : Anne L Plurabelle said: "In fact the British Empire was probably the first empire based on hating, fearing and despising the people they ruled over." It's peripheral to the original article, but I felt it was necessary to challenge this statement. Firstly, there were many empires before the British "...based on hating, fearing and despising the people they ruled over..." The first which comes to mind is the Assyrians, whose state terrorism was employed against conquered foes nearly 3000 years ago. Likewise, the Byzantines actively discriminated against Jews, Samaritans and even fellow-Christian Egyptians (they were Monophysites, don't you know). And the pre-British maritime imperial powers (Spain and Portugal) both engaged in massacres of the people they conquered. Secondly, hate, fear and scorn of the people they ruled over was not British government policy.

cancer properties. Apples have been found to inhibit the growths in colon cancer by 43%. They contain a photo nutrient which was found only in the skin of the apple. Why haven't we been told about the cancer fighting ability of our natural food? The answer is very simple, food is a natural product and no one can control the price of it and make enormous profits, where as drugs to treat cancer are synthesised or artificial and can be patented and the price can then be controlled by the manufacture themselves. Conventional cancer treatments today using these drugs represent a multi billion dollar a year industry. These vast profits are fiercely protected by these industry giants. So to the diet that can cure cancer, and it has to revolve around freshly grown food, organic if possible. The natural food for breakfast is fresh fruit and plenty of it. If you need to snack through the morning eat more fruit. A healthy choice for lunch is a plate of fresh salad items and there are lots to choose from. Onions should be part of it. A couple of choices for tea can be a soup using fresh vegetables or pumpkin or maybe lightly steaming some vegetables with a baked potato.

prayed, he implored with such vehemence and importunity, and God left him not unanswered. While he was marching with his forces in the afternoon, the trophy of the cross appeared very luminous in the heavens, brighter than the sun, with this inscription, 'Conquer by this.' He and his soldiers were astonished at the sight; but he continued pondering on the event till night. And Christ appeared to him when asleep with the same sign of the cross, and directed him to make use of the symbol as his military ensign." * Such is the statement of Milner. Now, in regard to the "trophy of the cross," a few words will suffice to show that it is utterly unfounded. I do not think it necessary to dispute the fact of some miraculous sign having been given. There may, or there may not, have been on this occasion a "dignus vindice nodus," a crisis worthy of a Divine interposition. Whether, however, there was anything out of the ordinary course, I do not inquire. But this I say, on the supposition that Constantine in this matter acted in good faith, and that there actually was a miraculous appearance in the heavens, that it was not the sign of the cross that was seen, but quite a different thing, the name of Christ.

Marcus Munaf, University of Bristol said: "Men in the UK and around the world are undoubtedly passionate about the beautiful game.

Their average age was 46 and the average relationship length 21 years. 71% of the participants were married to their partners. Before the experiments each participant provided a high resolution photograph of their loved one, which was added by the researchers to three other images: their beloved Newcastle United team, an unknown woman and an unfamiliar rugby team.

The Business Council on National Issues is made up of the heads of some 160 large corporations, including big oil, big auto companies, insurance and chemical corporations, and the big banks.

The weakness in the natural gas price, particularly in the U.S., has hurt thermal coal producers, especially in Appalachia, where there are somewhat higher costs. We think the thermal coal market will see some recovery over the next couple of years because it's not just the U.S. that uses thermal coal. Far more thermal coal is used in China than in the U.S. The high-cost producers have been affected the most as thermal prices have been hit as much as 20?30% in the last three to four months. That's made a difference to the bottom lines and investment analysts' view of that sector. The same thing has happened in the met coal market. Because Chinese steel prices, particularly in China, have gone down 20% in the last three months, iron ore has gone down 20%, putting downward pressure on the met coal price because the biggest steel market in the world is China.

She belongs to the Romantic Novelists' Association , The Historical Novel Society and is a member of the Oxford Writers' Group, where she has contributed to their fourth anthology of short stories. Her debut novel, The Road Back , was published in September. How did you start writing? I have always loved writing essays, tasks given at school, letters to friends, but it never occurred to me to write a novel until my sons were aged 2 and 3, and so in bed at a fairly early hour, and my husband, a head teacher at the time, was frequently out in the evenings. Since there was a limit to how many letters I wanted to write in an evening, I decided that it might be fun to write a novel. And it was.

Squeeze and hold for several seconds at the start of the movement, then return to the starting position. Reverse Crunch Starting Position: Lie on your back with your legs and hips bent at 90-degree angles, and your arms relaxed at your sides, palms facing down. The Exercise: Pull your abs in, and lift your hips as if you were tipping a bucket of water thats resting on your pelvis. Floor Crunches Starting Position: Lie on a floor (or mat), place your hands behind your head, bring your knees together, and place your feet flat on the floor about a foot from your hips. The Exercise: Start by pushing your lower back down, almost like your trying to make a dent in the floor. Then begin to roll your shoulders up, keeping your knees and hips stationary. Continue to push down as hard as you can with your lower back. The range of motion in this exercie is very limited. Your shoulder only come off the ground a few inches. Hold this position and flex your abdominal muscles as hard as you can for a count of one, and then slowly lower your shoulders back down to the floor, but never stop pushing down with your lower back.

i all, my immigration visa interview is coming up in oct in Montreal,hope u can give advice to my concern im currently working under tn since 2009, my father had filed for my i130 back in 2001,it was delayed by 911. i just renewed my tn in may 2012, and now im wondering if my tn will impact my chance for getting the immigration visa. tn to gc thru i130 The fact that you have gotten TN's with an I-130 shows that this has no impact. What will happen is at the moment you filre I-485, then you wil lhave to have TN time left and stay in US until your AP/EAD (whiach are sent at the same time as your I-485) are approved, and you will statrt working on EAD basis, no longer TN. TNs never impact the GC process. It is the GC process that can -- but usually does not if you time the I-485 correctly -- affect your TN. i thought on the day of the interview u had to surrender ur passport to them, pendng the outcome of the interview they would stamp the visa n courier it to u or i dont know whatll happen if it is rejected. Oh, you are going the consular interview (CP) route.

This means I own very few gadgets. The second direction change I made was to not increase my standard of living as I achieved pay increases. Instead that money is saved.

UNLOCKING THE CREATIVE POTENTIAL OF THE HOMELESS The Homeless Film Festival is a new biannual film event and social venture, which screens films made by and about homeless people with the aim of putting homelessness in the media spotlight. The festival, based in Manchester and Nottingham, runs a series of workshops that provide a creative outlet for homeless people to tell their stories through film. As well as showing the films made by the workshops participants, the programme includes feature films that deal with the subject of homelessness. Raising awareness and encouraging public discussion on the issue is especially pertinent considering that the numbers of those sleeping rough in England increased by twenty three percent in the past year. The situation is likely to worsen due to a growing demand for very limited affordable housing and predictions that unemployment in the UK will rise. We recently chatted to Jamie Rhodes, the creator of The Homeless Film Festival. Jamie is forthright and speaks with sincerity; he has a strong and genuine connection to his work and to the people involved in the project. He speaks passionately about the need to give homeless people self-representation and the power of film to effect social change. JAMIE RHODES: There are two elements to the festival really: we do the outreach work and then there's the festival itself. So the outreach work involves us, Donkey Stone Films, and other filmmakers going to homeless shelters and doing filmmaking workshops with homeless people.

when you've got hypothermia. You're still fucking cold, but it's not so bad all of a sudden. @every tomorrow@twitter, @janiebee, I hate the way just talking about my dad makes some people uncomfortable. I refuse to pretend like he never existed or was important to me, just because someone doesn't want to admit that death happens to everyone. "i'm not just grieving... i MISS him." really hit the nail on the head. I am finally done grieving - for now, it's pretty cyclical - but some days I just miss my dad so bad, I want to pick up the phone and hear his voice, and knowing that I can never do that again is like a punch in the gut. It's amplified because my dad committed suicide, which I have no trouble talking about but omg STIGMA. And yet, almost every single person I talk to knows someone who has committed suicide. Some of their stories have been so helpful to me. Just knowing how many people in my life knew the deal, and had gone on with their lives, and understood, was so valuable. Yes, exactly like being in a secret society. @Craftastrophies If I'm allowed to talk about my dad, you're allowed to talk about yours. I can't believe people would not want you to talk about him.

All that we have July 16, 2010 Frustrated that I've stained my favorite gray coat while picking raspberries in the back yard, I bustle inside to start scrubbing. Three years ago, neighbors and friends picked these bushes clean while I slept on a cot next to my husband's hospital bed, holding his hand across the gap, wondering if he'd ever eat the fruit from our yard again. They picked the bushes clean and froze the fruit, with all the confidence in the world that we'd come home to reap the sweetness of our freezer. People say to me, "You have such a wonderful life!" They say, "You are so lucky." They say, "How do you do it?" I smile and nod, but wonder, how lucky is a brain tumor in July, when the berries are at their peak? And, I wonder: How many choices have you made in your life that take you away from the harvest when you could have been there? How many chances do you get to feel the sun-warmed berries in your fingers? Me? I'll take the stains, thank you. A tattoo of juice and life and jam. And, yes, for the record, I see that we are "so lucky." I'll lick the raspberry fragments from my own fingers, and his.

events in Petra's life. I couldn't help but wince at times as Petra navigated the tricky minefield of adolescent female relationships (there was probably a Gillian in everyone's life) and dealt with her less than loving mother. Along with Petra's story there is the story of Bill Finn, who early in his career worked for the "Essential David Cassidy Magazine". I don't want to spoil much of his storyline (although I will say he shattered several lingering illusions I may have had about David Cassidy) but he added a lot of humor to the book and his storyline left me smiling at the end of the book. Finally, the author has an interesting interview with David Cassidy at the back of the book. "I think I Love You" is a wonderful look back at the innocence of teen idol worship and the magic of adult love. Three and a half stars, but since I have to go with full stars I will stick with three. I am a fan of Allison Pearson's and I'll even admit to being a former David Cassidy fan. I am about seven years younger than the characters in this book, and I'd like to think I had a nostalgic distance and ironic appreciation of the 1970's. But maybe that's what all 70's fans think now!

leaders to encourage women to get tested and to demand treatment if they need it. We also all have a shared responsibility to support multilateral institutions like the Global Fund. In recent months, as the United States has stepped up our commitment, so have Saudi Arabia, Japan, Germany, the Gates Foundation, and others. I encourage other donors, especially in emerging economies, to increase their contributions to this essential organization. And then finally, we all have a shared responsibility to get serious about promoting country ownership -- the end state where a nation's efforts are led, implemented, and eventually paid for by its government, its communities, its civil society, its private sector. I spoke earlier about how the United States is supporting country ownership, but we also look to our partner countries and donors to do their part. They can follow the example of the last few years in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, India, and other countries who are able to provide more and better care for their own people because they are committing more of their own resources to HIV/AIDS.

had been consumer satisfaction. In fact, by forbidding OEMs to remove the most obvious means of invoking Internet Explorer, Microsoft diminished the value of Windows PC systems to those corporate customers, for example, who did not intend for their employees to browse the Web and did not want a browser taking up hardware resources. Incidentally, there is no merit in the hypothesis that OEMs might cause problems in the functioning of the rest of Windows by removing Internet Explorer's desktop icon and program entry, because Microsoft still allows users to do exactly that. 223. According to Microsoft, its restrictions on the ability of OEMs to insert programs into the initial Windows boot sequence are meant to ensure that all Windows users experience the product the way Microsoft intended it the first time they turn on their PC systems; after all, there would be little incentive to develop a high-quality operating-system product if OEMs were free to alter it for the worse before handing it over to consumers. This argument might be availing were it not for the fact that Microsoft currently allows several of the largest-volume OEMs to make major modifications to the initial Windows 98 boot sequence. Microsoft permits each of these OEMs to configure its own splash screens, tutorials, registration wizards, Internet sign-up wizards, and utilities so that they run automatically when the consumer first turns on a new PC system.

participation in these meetings. One of the interesting things historically about the Member and Stakeholder survey is that the results have been delivered at the annual meeting, which is in the early part of the year, but it comes after we have actually done our budgeting and planning for that year. Recognizing that, the EC has decided to be recalibrating or realigning the survey so that its result will be available immediately before the coming planning cycle. In fact, the next survey is going to be not two years after the last, but it's going to be 18 months after the last. It will be launched in March 2012 at the Delhi meeting. It will be conducted over the following six months and reported to you in a year's time, next August. Don't be surprised if the survey seems to come around a little more quickly this time, that's exactly what's happening, so that we can use the results more immediately, in this case for planning for 2013. Then, of course, from that point on, we'll be back onto a two-year cycle for the survey. In terms of operational planning, you have seen this before, but by way of a reminder, we have defined four key practical outcomes that we are always aiming for and according to which we are organizing our operational planning.

He promised that they in that constituency would not forget that promise. He would take every opportunity to rub it in. He thought that that statement ought to keep the Conservatives in the desert for the next two generations. They would carry the Parliament Bill , but not for its own sake. They were doing it because when they had made this rearrangement they were going to use it in order to carry reforms which they thought wise, moderate, sensible, and overdue. The House of Lords rejected their Plural Voting Bill, and they were going to carry it by means of the Parliament Bill . They did not do so.

Breathless reporting last week of a new estimate of Greenland's melting ice. It's higher than it was before: "The changes on the Greenland ice sheet are happening fast, and we are definitely losing more ice mass than we had anticipated," says study co-author Isabella Velicogna of the University of California-Irvine. A fine analysis by Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger of the way that climate science has been distorted by environmentalism. They write: "The result has been an ever-escalating set of demands on climate science, with greens and their allies often attempting to represent climate science as apocalyptic, imminent, and certain, in no small part so that they could characterize all resistance as corrupt, anti-scientific, short-sighted, or ignorant. Greens pushed climate scientists to become outspoken advocates of action to address global warming. Captivated by the notion that their voices and expertise were singularly necessary to save the world, some climate scientists attempted to oblige. The result is that the use, and misuse, of climate science by advocates began to wash back into the science itself.''

Bendtner to Juve, thoughts on Theo & cup draws Arsenal finally seem to be rid of Niklas Bendtner as his transfer to Italian side Juventus is set to be completed tomorrow, according to Sky Sport Italia. A much-maligned player at the Emirates, Bendtner has been close to leaving for quite a while. However, there are some Gooners who have stated their desire for him to stay at the club, ahead of Chamakh in the pecking order for the centre forward role. I guess these views stem from the decent season he had on loan at Sunderland before scoring two goals at the Euros. I'm not going to sit on the fence on this one; I'm very pleased to see him leave. He had a poor attitude from the start, and although he does have some talent (as his 45 goals and 21 assists in 4 seasons show), he never seemed the right player for an Arsene Wenger side. He doesn't integrate into the team as well as Giroud, or even Chamakh, due to his relatively poor control and innacurate short passing. Juve's director has said the following regarding the proposed transfer: "Bendtner is already in Italy and will undergo a medical tomorrow.Until the final paperwork is concluded, I will not say that the player is ours. That became clear yesterday [after Berbatov's move fell through]." If the rumours are to be believed, he will go on loan for another season, with Juve having an option to buy at the end. | NARRATIVE | NA SR | 3,703,499 |

inherent movement of air under the vehicle. I believe at any normal driving speed this movement would dissipate any downward force the birds produced over such a large area of bridge, distinct from the truck's wheelbase's influence, that we could assume the birds weighed virtually nothing. In conclusion, unless the truck had an airtight container, or was stationary with very little gap between the floor of the cage and the road (to allow transfer of force directly downward), then I feel the truck would be likely to make it. Thankyou anonymous (2 posts above) for pointing out the airtight container issue! It took a while!! On the other hand if the cargo were kangaroos and the roos were able to launch before the truck got on the bridge and land after the truck crossed to the other side, then the weight of the roos would be moot since the weight would be timeshifted to pre and post crossing. But wait! These are pidgeons - can they be trained to fly back to the truck? If so, the driver releases them before crossing, drives across then calls the pidgeons back to the truck and cages them again. Only the 4950 truck+driver rests on the bridge and he is able to safely cross. It does rely on having well trained and well-behaved pidgeons, but they can be trained to home in on a known place.

conditions be fulfilled (cf Collingwood [1938] 1991, 153). Thus, in some cases ('tight causes') necessary connection is associated with the efficient cause as such; "the sun's motion, for example, necessarily gives rise to changes in terrestrial bodies" (SCG II: 29.18) and is therefore absolute necessity. In other cases ('loose causes') it is relative to both the agent and the patient; "if fire is hot, it necessarily has the power of heating, yet it need not heat, for something extrinsic may prevent it" (SCG II: 30.12). However, given both the agent and the patient, the necessity is just as absolute as in those cases in which the efficient cause itself is a sufficient cause. Aquinas therefore concluded that all inanimate things are character-ized by natural necessity: "For, as nature is, so is its action; hence, given the existence of the cause, the effect must necessarily follow" (SCG II: 35.4). Whereas man is endowed with free will, "inanimate things, plants, and brute animals" behave according to natural necessity (SCG II: 47.3), which is responsible for the uniform behavior of natural things: "... the power of every agent which acts by natural necessity is determined to one effect; that is why all natural things happen in the same way, unless there be an obstacle; while voluntary things do not" (SCG II: 23.2). By saying that "all natural things happen in the same way," Aquinas meant that things belonging to the same type act similarly in similar causal circumstanc-es.

listserv. University of Southampton chemical biologist Tom Brown had found a way, called DNA click ligation, to glue together strands of DNA without using an enzyme. It was a neat trick but had no straightforward use, says Perez. IP Group, a British venture capital firm that invests in university innovation, sponsored a prize as part of a Marblar competition. The winning entry was from a Cambridge University PhD student studying nucleotide drug delivery who believed the invention could advance his field. The idea is now being turned into a proof-of-concept prototype (Brown's lab is advertising a job opening to help), and IP Group is evaluating the possibility of creating a spin-out company. The venture firm also has made a roughly $600,000 investment in Marblar itself. The startup's efforts fall in line with broader long-term efforts to speed the commercialization of innovation from universities, which is effectively the return on investments of taxpayer dollars. In the U.S., in fiscal year 2011, universities and research institutes received $40 billion in federal R&D funds, according to the Association of University Technology Managers . The organization's survey results show that 670 startups and 591 new commercial products came out of U.S. universities and research institutes during this time. Lita Nelsen, director of MIT's Technology Licensing Office , says that Marblar looks like it would be a useful tool in a few cases she sees each year, but that it would be unlikely to dramatically increase the number of ideas that get commercialized.

also noticed) on the face does the picture no goo. The only thing that I could see this used for, after a bit of thinking, the man could be promoting the use of ethanol in gasoline. Other than that, sorry, but I personally still wouldn't use that photograph. I see it leading no where. Perhaps, you could introduce something into the background a little bit. Also, lighten the background up a little bit, there isn't much colors to display here, it'll help attract some attention to the picture. Image: The image depicts a ridgid young man, body at 45 degrees to camera, with severe hair, hands folded symetrically at waist, chin up with condecending stare at camera, he's wearing a dark suit, white shirt and tie, he is standing in a tawny coloured field, gray/blue mountains echoed by gray/blue clouds in the background, time of day appears to be dawn or dusk. Natural background light is interrupted artificial, man directionally lit from front and back. The artifical backlighting is a bit too harsh and the brush/grass around him is artificially overexposed. What does it convey: I'm not sure what this photo intends to convey. Could be a simple visual juxtaposition: "I will dominate this untamed place" ?? First Impression: It does not work for me. Suggestions for Improvement: It would be helful to know what the photographer intended to convey in order to comment on what he could have done to improve the image.

where did you find this one? I had that image in my library from a long time ago. Yes, there is suffering associated with refusing to differentiate as well. No escape from it, I'm afraid. It might even be more painful to stay put when evolution says it's time to move. Super cool to be your "teacher". Even Einstein didn't want to believe we lived in an expanding/evolving Universe so we can forgive ourselves for wanting to remain in a static unchanging culture and world! What jumped out for me is "do we really have a choice?". The Universe is evolving in its time developmental way with or without us! The Eden story is used to invoke the concept of "free will" among humans, but I think that is an obsolete interpretation, too. Andrew Cohen's "evolutionary impulse" will not be denied so it's not really a choice but an awareness that this is the case. What fascinates me is the "tug of war" between safety and security and creativity and newness which goes on inside each and every one of us every day! So much of what we do is routine, but "the tooth which nibbles at the soul", to quote Emily Dickinson, is also always there... Thanks for an evolutionary exegesis which gets away from sin, punishment, and all that other crap! Why, in your worldview, is it always EITHER/OR?

the whole month doing that, he hit nine home runs that month. I always told somebody, if your kid believes he has to chop off a chicken's head to hit, if he believes that's what makes him hit, then by God, chop one off every day.

"Two years ago, last year I didn't do it any, because Tony didn't want me involved because he was wanting Mark (McGwire) to get this kind of credit or whatever. And obviously Colby had a hard time, I always told Colby, 'Don't mention my name, let me go ahead and throw to you, man, and go in the newspapers and say Mark McGwire is my man, he's the reason I'm hitting.' But he doesn't know how to lie and I think that's a key to making it in this business, being able to not tell the truth a lot of the time. I was just a BP arm and he felt comfortable with me throwing to him and he felt like it helped him, and if he felt like it helped him, it helped him." Relief for both of you this year?

Prepare a Bushfire Survival Plan If you live in or near the bush, you should prepare a bushfire survival plan setting out what you are going to do to prepare your home for bushfire , and what you are going to do if a bushfire approaches. A written plan will help you think through the actions logically, and give you something to refer to when a bushfire breaks out nearby. The plan should be prepared carefully and thoughtfully. Once you've prepared it, stick to it. If you've prepared your home and decided to defend it, don't panic and flee in your car at the last minute - you'll be much safer at home where you can shelter from radiant heat. However, Tasmania Fire Service recommends that you should not plan to defend your home when the fire danger rating exceeds 50 (severe) in your area unless you have created a defendable space and ember-proofed your home. Tasmania Fire Service recommends that you should not plan to defend your home when the fire danger rating exceeds 75 (extreme) in your area unless your home has a defendable space and has been designed and built specifically to withstand a bushfire. Tasmania Fire Service recommends that you should not plan to defend your home on days when the fire danger rating exceeds 100 (catastrophic) in your area, even if your home has a defendable space and has been designed and built specifically to withstand a bushfire.

peak times (city wide), cycle lanes that end abruptly, pavement and road changes that force cyclists into vehicles' paths, and the ending of left turns at traffic light controlled junctions (Muller Road). It is about time that the city council traffic management department thought the proposals through with intelligence, common sense and listened to the public. I regularly drive in the pilot areas and cannot see how they can possibly be successful. Nobody seems to obey the 20mph limit. If you attempt to drive at 20mph you get somebody up your backside almost immediately. I then feel safer driving a little bit faster, say 30mph. Everybody else seems to ignore the speed limit also so what is the point? Surely it would be a far better use of resources to spend 2.3m on a road safety campaign for Children. I was brought up being told that roads were not safe. I follow the green cross code and have never ever been close to being hit by a car in 30 years of crossing roads. Roads will still not be safe even at 20mph. The evidence from the pilot areas shows that most roads have experienced speed reductions. These have been greatest on those roads which had the highest speeds previously. We already provide road safety education for children in many schools. The problem is that, largely because of road danger, children are not allowed to practice the skills they have learned.

general guidelines (colour pallate and length) - one of my friends who did a similar thing went to Bunnings and got a few colour samples from the paint section and told the girls to go and find anything they liked that matched the colour samples. The dresses came from asos.com and Myer, and ranged in price from $50-$100 (but certainly did not look cheap or tacky!). I want to do this with my bridesmaids dresses too. It's really important to me that they wear something they like and that suits them, I really want them looking like them, and not how I've told them to look! My plan is to choose a whole bunch of dresses from a website that has a selection of bridesmaids dresses (I'd prefer them to come from the same store/label so the colour is more likely to be the same), send them to the girls and get them to pick which one they want and I'll order it in the right colour. I am also going to do this, especially because only one (out of four) of my BMs live in Brisbane so it will just be way too hard otherwise. I want different shades of light blue and knee length but otherwise they can get anything they want. I just want them to be comfortable and they are all so different there is no way I could find one dress that they would all be comfortable in. To OP, it will depend if you | ID | ID DF | 626,621 |

My biggest challenge is to make my own business work, and to make sure I keep pushing myself. Anything to Say to Other Female Designers? Work your butts off. It's the only way to get good. Kathie Wiehanne Bio: A freelance web designer from Indonesia currently based in Malaysia. Also a neat freak who has a crush on the color pink. Portfolio: wiehanne.com Twitter: @wiehanne How Did You Get Into the Web Design Industry? I have been interested in drawing and art related stuff from a young age. When it was time for college (early 2004), I took a Graphic design course, majoring in advertising. Cracking my brain to work on the ads strategy was fun and I thought that's where my passion was. Upon graduating from college, I worked as a packaging designer. After 6 months I resigned as I was looking for space to grow, and also time flexibility. I took the plunge to become a full time freelancer focusing on print design while still keeping the desire to work in the advertising field. I started to learn about web design and structure online to create my own blog design and that's when my interest towards web design grew. From there I teamed up with my boyfriend (now husband) to deliver free WordPress themes at simplyWP and accepted custom blog design.

cool place (below 65 F). refrigerate overnight to thoroughly chill before serving. Crack the lid of the thoroughly chilled root beer just a little to release the pressure slowly. NOTE: Do not leave the finished root beer in a warm place once the bottle feels hard. After a couple weeks or so at room temperature, especially in the summer when the temperature is high, enough pressure may build up to explode the bottle! There is no danger of this if the finished root beer is refrigerated. 12) Move to a refrigerator overnight before opening. NOTE: There will be a sediment of yeast at the bottom of the bottle, so that the last bit of root beer will be turbid. It will not hurt you, but you can decant carefully if you wish to avoid this sediment. A WORD ABOUT THE ALCOHOL IN HOME MADE ROOT BEER (OR GINGER ALE ): I have received numerous inquiries about whether there might be alcohol in this home made soft drink. The answer is yes, but ... We have tested in our lab the alcoholic content which results from the fermentation of this root beer and found it to be between 0.35 and 0.5 %. Comparing this to the 6% in many beers, it would require a person to drink about a gallon and a half of this root beer to be equivalent to one 12 ounce beer.

of the two entitled to speak for the people, who send Members to this honourable House. With regard to the hereditary principle, I was greatly interested in what the hon. Member for Oxford (Mr. Hogg) said yesterday, that he was in the unfortunate position, as the son of a living peer, of being transferred, in a certain regrettable event, from this House to the House of Peers. I am bound to confess that it would be a great loss to this House if we should so lose him. However, that is one instance only of sons of peers being compelled to pretend that they are legislators, when possibly they have no notion at all of what legislation means and care little for the responsibilities attaching to the rights they possess and the rights which we consider they ought not to be allowed to possess. However, as I said at the beginning, this is a matter not to be decided in connection with this Bill, which merely alters two years to one, and therefore, we should be in a position to support it and to hope that, when Labour is returned at the next General Election, we shall have a Measure that will aim at the complete reformation and reconstruction of the Second Chamber.

I'm dissing the fact that it's such a limited palette he picks from (in comparison to the breadth on RR) Paul L's picking of a non nom'd song -- just summed RR's guruship at the moment -- it's not READERS RECOMMENDS. I ranted with TFD -- but it's one week -- so didn't bother on the results section. I wanna give JonD a break -- shall see how the expanded A looks -- obviously not this week -- as it's a novelty RR.... but it's been 'a distinct taste' for a lot of these 8 months. My rule of thumb is: if there's a varied selection (whether I like them or not) from great readers recommends*, then it's been a pretty good playlist... if I've found a few wows while reading through (the blog) that's a bonus week.

Once again another song in the "CST" or "G# Major Tuning." This is one of Paul's more traditionally structured songs (meaning there's verse, chorus, and bridge sections). Melodically it hints at The Beatles, with nods to 70's/80's power-pop. This song is pretty much a perfect pop song in my books. Live, this song makes an even bigger impression, thanks to Michael Bland's powerhouse drumming. (When playing this live, Paul sometimes tunes a step higher). There's a few guitar parts on the recording, but I decided to TAB it out for one guitar. Hopefully this covers all the basics. Let me know what you think, if you have any suggestions, or improvements. | LY | LY OL | 559,974 |
