According to sources close to the situation, Yahoo will officially close the multi-billion-dollar sale of half its assets in China's Alibaba Group in one week. Sources said the deal is set to be announced next Wednesday, in which the Chinese Internet giant will pay the Silicon Valley company $7.6 billion to buy back 20 percent of Alibaba. Yahoo still owns another 20 percent. Yahoo will get $7.1 billion in the transaction, as well as a $550 million payment related to the ending of licensing fees that Alibaba has paid annually to Yahoo. It's a huge return from when Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang led a $1 billion investment in the then-fledgling Alibaba seven years ago, with a belief in its CEO and co-founder Jack Ma. But once-cordial relations between the companies became tense in the ensuing years, as Ma sought to lessen Yahoo's 40 percent ownership. After many public kerfuffles, Yahoo finally agreed earlier this year to sell half its stake . It still holds 20 percent, which could eventually reap even larger returns once the fast-growing Alibaba goes public in several years. Yahoo is required to sell 10 percent at that IPO and must sell the rest after that. Still, Yahoo is getting a pile of money now. After taxes, that gives new CEO Marissa Mayer about $4.5 billion to use in some as yet undetermined way. But it will most likely be for a series of acquisitions to try to reinvigorate the long-troubled company. Yahoo's board and later its | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 3,150,890 |

New York's subways are the only system in the world to operate around the clock and are extremely extensive. To have subways down for even a week causes an economic nightmare . Sure, many folks find other ways, like the grocery chain Fairway's employees coming to work by taxi. Partial subway service is due to be restored tomorrow but the bulk of the system could take weeks, even months to be up and running again. Why will they be down so long? The tunnels and many stations have been flooded, much with saltwater which is a great conductor of electricity, as well as a very corrosive liquid . To get the more-than 400 miles of subways up and running, water must be pumped out and then the tracks must be walked and inspected every inch of the way. Debris has to be taken off the track, the switches and signals and other electric and electronic controls dried, cleaned, repaired or replaced and tested. Then and only then, can the power be restored, small-section by small-section, to be sure all is okay, and when all is okay, test trains have to be run.

That's your choice. But the censoring of the craziness and evil of radicals is what allowed those radicals to survive and thrive all this time -- because the media would simply not show to the public just how extreme the extremists are. But this is a new era, and in order to make improvements to society, we must first expose the malefactors for exactly what they are. If you can't handle it or don't wnt to see it, that's fine -- you can choose other outlets. Expletives are indeed lazy language.

such a short time span between now and the 1st game. If it's not shown, everyone loses money and nobody benefits. With so little time to go before the Chelsea/Hull game, perhaps now is the time to discuss other means of watching it. I know there will be many streams via MyP2P, but I really can't abide the poor quality and Chinese commentaries. Can anyone suggest a possible stream with the best quality? As it's at such an abysmally early hour for those on the West Coast, is there any reasonably easy way to set up a recording of such a stream? So this makes no sense ..Setanta already paid Fsc for the rights right? so espn would then pay Setanta? so if no1 is going to broadcast the early game wouldnt some1 lose money? what is going on with thi? it's almost friday!!! It makes perfect sense. We all know Sentanta has cash issues. They are probably due to pay up for this year's licenses. However, they are now short and cannot pay. FSC has the licenses and is looking for someone else to pay. ESPN would be a logical fit. I could see it happening soon, if not by Saturday.

and moves in the water at night. It lays its eggs on the land; male and female take turns guarding them. Certain fish with saw-tooth backs [ dolphins ] kill them by cutting their soft bellies. The crocodile is the only animal that moves its upper jawbone. Guillaume le Clerc [13th century CE] ( Bestiaire ): The crocodile is a fierce beast that lives always beside the river Nile. In shape it is somewhat like an ox; it is full twenty ells long, and as big around as the trunk of a tree. It has four feet, large claws, and very sharp teeth; by means of these it is well armed. So hard and tough is its skin, that it minds not in the least hard blows made by sharp stones. Never was seen another such a beast, for it lives on land and in water. At night it is submerged in water, and during the day it reposes upon the land. If it meets and overcomes a man, it swallows him entire, so that nothing remains. But ever after it laments him as long as it lives. The upper jaw of this beast is immovable when it eats, and the lower one alone moves. No other living creature has this peculiarity. The other beast of which I have told you (the water-serpent), which always lives in the water, hates the crocodile with a mortal hatred.

It will be better than QoS and just as good as CR, if not better, but a different kind of film. I'm really excited to hear that they are going back to classic Bond and that Q is back! All the those reasons and the fact that Bond hasn't been in theaters in four years will help the film at the Box Office. As Sams link shows, there is already a discussion for this.

on an interlibrary loan, and even then it was just on microfilm. It's a songster without any author given. In fact, the introduction is written in eye-dialect or minstrel language, and signed by "Ole Hardtimes." However, WorldCat attributes it to "Henry B Anthony". Neither is any date given, but WorldCat says "no earlier than 1843." That seems to be based on the fact that it purports to contain "every Negro song that has ever been sung or printed," and yet it is limited to earlier tunes. It's long--448 pp. No organization scheme that I noticed. Many songs are repeated several times, here and there. Seems like a third of them are set to the tune of "Dan Tucker." No music notation, but in a majority of cases a familiar tune is referenced. There are several interesting examples in it that could point to the origin of certain chanties. I am curious to know what influenced a songster like this might have had on chanties. My assumption is that chanties inspired by minstrel songs would have developed from hearing the songs in live performances. However, the discussion above, that a whaleman jotted down in his journal some songs from this one, makes me wonder if written texts were any contributing factor?

Guitarist Jim Martin left Faith No More back in 1993 after the band's 'Angel Dust' album. After a decade of silence, Martin agreed to answer 15 questions submitted by readers of a UK fan site. "Some weeks ago, the FNM fan club guy was asking about how to contact me, he wanted to talk to me about the fan page," Martin said. "After several exchanges via email, he and I decided to do a Q&A thing for the fans. My departure from FNM in 1993 was controversial; I left while the band was still at the peak of its success. I am proud of my contributions to the success and legacy of FNM. I appreciate the time and effort it took to put these questions together. Thank you for the opportunity." In the Q&A, Martin discusses the 'Angel Dust' recording sessions, his current relationship with the band, whether he would consider a reunion and many other topics. Q: You are an influence to many younger guitarists today, but who were your biggest influences and what do you remember about how those people helped to craft your sound and play style? A: My influences to a greater extent were Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, and David Gilmore. Mostly Page. His method of using a pick and his fingers at the same time and his way of squeezing the humanity out of a guitar. It's funny how influences work. My influences were influenced by old blues men.

of the white and black races; I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people... I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race." I've seen that quote in early biographies of Lincoln, and it looks accurate. He once said that just because he didn't want a Negro woman as a slave, it didn't mean he would want her as a wife. Lincoln believed that slavery was wrong, but should be permitted to continue in areas where it had existed historically (i.e. the South). He thought that if confined to those areas it would eventually die out. He opposed slavery's expansion to new territories and states and that was enough for the South to paint him as a radical abolitionist. He wasn't. In fact he was elected because he could unite the various anti-slavery factions -- those who hated blacks, those who thought slavery dragged down wages, and those who thought slavery immoral.

beginning to follow suit, and over the past ten years there has been a definite shift towards improved accountability across humanitarian organisations. Yes, development and humanitarian responses need to change and I believe there is evidence of an increasing momentum towards improved levels of accountability. Donors are more likely to support organisations who can demonstrate a grassroots level of accountability, consultation with beneficiaries and participation in projects. I don't believe the only way to ensure greater accountability to beneficiaries is through implementing a legal framework. There is a paradigm shift taking place, and organisations are increasingly called to account for their actions, encouraged to learn from their mistakes and pushed to improve accountability mechanisms. The millennium saw the World Bank launch their series of 'Voices of the Poor' reports, giving voice to people in poor communities. That is what beneficiary accountability is about, listening to the voices of those we are seeking to help, and taking into account their needs for a more effective humanitarian intervention. Over a decade later, the discussion is still ongoing, with some NGOs such as Engineers Without Borders bravely publishing their mistakes made in a bid for greater transparency . As we seek to improve humanitarian interventions, let us not forget the voices of the poor, giving them a rightful place and according them dignity in response to their needs. | IN | IN RA | 3,026,469 |
for stating the obvious never ceases to amaze me. Captain Kathryn "Obvious" Janeway of Star Trek: Voyager demonstrated an incredible grasp of temporal physics when Harry Kim was teleported to a whereabouts the crew was unable to ascertain. Janeway : How long until we have to leave? Bridge : I'd say we're safe for another two hours. Janeway : That gives us two hours to find Mr. Kim. One hour, fifty-nine minutes and fifty-eight seconds now that you've finished stating the obvious. Samantha Carter, in her position as Stargate SG-1 's designated Ms. Exposition had more than a few moments of this. Which was somewhat amusing during the first two seasons, where she actually held the rank of Captain. Zelenka on Stargate Atlantis is often dismissed as a Captain Obvious by McKay after coming up with some incredibly complex science idea which McKay already came up with. McKay, though, also has his share of these, to the point that in one episode, somebody called him Captain Obvious. In Children of the Gods , the pilot episode of SG-1 , a doctor is performing an autopsy on a Jaffa, and pulls out the Goa'uld symbiote. Doctor : It's not human! Jack : You think ? O'Neill used his snarky, "You think ?" quite often in the series to lampshade Captain Obvious moments. It became one of his Catch Phrase s.

A quick question... the fiddle part at the beginning of Dexy's Midnight Runners 'Come on Eileen'... is that part of a traditional song... might there be a full song that it belongs to... or it's simply the intro to the tune? The Intro to "Come On..." is a reel structure,tho' one could make the case it's hornpipe structure. Haven't run across any tune that it comes from directly,but as there are thousands of them in the "traditional" ITM and STM repertoire it could be from one,or no. Pointers on traditional tunes,Slip? Just google Irish or Scottish Traditional Music-sheet music. If you want pointers on how to play...go to,among others The Sessions,Chiff and Fipple, na Piobairi Uilleann.You'll have to look up fiddle sites yourself. It ain't as easy as Charlie Daniels.American fiddle music generally doesn't even play strathespeys or hornpipes properly,they play 'em like a regular reel.And it's not just reading the notes.You're doomed if you do that in this genre. One of my co-workers was in high school when this song came out.Guess what her name is? Guess what song she hates? A note. The misuse of "Celtic". It is often used nowadays interchangeably with "Gaelic". Shouldn't be. Like saying a "Romance" tune instead of a "French" tune.So it would have been more accurate in what Simon looked up if it had read "Gaelic"-'cause that music isn't Brythonic.Or Galatian.

All kinds of stores and food close to Copacabana,Leme and Pao de Acucar Reviewed 12 August 2011 3 eople found this review helpful Nice shopping center close to Copacabana (through a tunnel by the rental car area at the northeast (Leme) side of Copacabana). The shopping center has all kind of stores on 4-5 levels. From exclusive ones to cheaper ones. There are lots og shops for women and men clothes but also stores for kids. In general the shops cover most interests and ages. There is a parking at the top (entrance around the back). There is several areas with a mix of restaurants (from McDonalds to more exspensive ones). There is also a small amusement/games area in one of the top levels. Alternatives to Rio Sul is e.g. Leblon Shopping which is on the west end (Leblon) of Ipanema beach. Leblon Shopping is newer and more fancy than Rio Sul. I think the size is about similar. Another option is the insanely big Barra Shopping even further to the west out in Barra de Tijuca. You probably need a car or taxi to go there (at least until they make the subway stretch a little longer). Barra Shopping still is or has been known as South Americas biggest shopping mall as far as I've heard. | ID | ID | 1,484,159 |

About Speculative Diction The Speculative Diction blog provides commentary and analysis on higher education policy and practice in Canada, linking them to developments overseas and also to the experiences of those working within the Canadian university system. The blog is written by Melonie Fullick, a grad student working on her PhD at York University. Many of those of us kicking around the academic Twitterverse over the past few days have been witnessing (and participating in) an intense discussion that??s raised issues at the core of academic values and assumptions about knowledge and research. This discussion has been focused on the ??ethics of live tweeting?_ as a practice at academic conferences, and the ways in which presenters and academics either support this practice or reject it . We can see that this topic has touched a sore spot from the extreme reactions it??s generated in some Twitter circles.

per cent last year and Moody's cut its credit rating in January. Mr Hirai's elevation could accelerate a strategic shift at Sony that has seen it place more emphasis on digital content and networks instead of standalone devices. The transition has been championed by Sir Howard but resisted by some older, more engineering-focused executives, and analysts say it remains only partially complete . Mr Hirai was part of a quartet of relatively young executives promoted by Sir Howard in 2009 and dubbed the "four musketeers". In a statement, Sir Howard praised him as "a globally focused executive for whom technology and the cloud are familiar territory, content is highly valued, and digital transformation is second nature". Another "musketeer", Hiroshi Yoshioka, is to take charge of Sony's small medical devices division -- a move likely to be seen as confirming Sony's intent to expand the business by pursuing a stake in Olympus , the scandal-hit manufacturer of surgical endoscopes. Olympus, which is short of capital and hurting from revelations that it hid losses on speculative investments dating back decades, is looking to sell shares to one or more strategic investors. Sony is understood to have approached the company, as have at least two other bidders: Terumo , a specialist medical equipment group, and Fujifilm , the optical devices maker. So far only Fujifilm has publicly acknowledged its interest. As for Sony's more established businesses, it will be up to Mr Hirai to steer the company out of what has been an | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 707,515 |
it is an event. The journalistic coverage has been if not lazy than perhaps complicit. Over the weekend "a" Molotov cocktail became pluralized very quickly in many reports. All entities continually refer to the "students" protesting and marching, while in reality the students are on strike but much of the rest of Quebec are on the streets. They quote tired facts about tuition costs, but are guilty in omitting from the discourse what non-residents and international students pay. The images and arguments have been ones of violence, and all too willing to ignore the moving and inspirational story of the rise of an important social movement. Their coverage has the appearance of writing from afar, written on desks in Toronto and Calgary. (Admittedly, I have written most of my op-eds from Toronto, Ottawa, and Portland, Ontario. But, as before, I'm nothing if not transparent.) The other fashion in which the mainstream media has failed is in their lack of understanding of the world as it exists in 2012. With the advent of social media, smartphones, and alternative media, the story can be told as it is, without being subjected to the filter of a biased media, whose interests are seen through a corporate lens. Fortunately, community-based media like OpenFile has picked up the slack and has been on the frontlines reporting without bias, but with passion and integrity.

to look for another house to rent. Money After you have signed the tenancy agreement, you will need to hand over money. Lots of money. This consists of: Agency Fee. If you found the house using a real estate agent you will pay them a fee. They usually charge you a sum of money equal to one week's rent. The bond. A landlord can ask you to pay up to four weeks rent as bond. Two weeks rent is more normal. By law, the landlord has to deposit your bond with the Bond Centre at the Ministry of Housing. He has 23 days to do this. Receipts are sent to both you and the landlord. Put your receipt somewhere safe! After you have moved out, you need your receipt to claim your money back from the Bond Centre. (You will get all your bond money back, provided you don't damage the house you are renting.)

What if the actual value generated to other citizens is zero, or in some cases negative because they displace an employee at a private firm that used to do the same job? I am not a smart guy so I always push something to the extreme and see if it makes sense. No one works. The government pays us all to do nothing. We then buy goods from someone offshore to meet our demands, which they sell to us in exchange for the dollars we get from the government.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this recipe posted and after a quick mental scan to make sure I had everything in my kitchen, I made them right away. In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth. Add in applesauce, peanut butter & vanilla and mix together until smooth. Add in oats and protein powder and mix. Taste and if not sweet enough for your liking, add stevia to taste. Since they are a breakfast cookie, they aren't meant to be as sweet as a dessert cookie, but of course, if you want it that sweet, then go for it! On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, or greased, take 2 Tbsp of batter for each cookie. Flatten it out a touch with the back of the spoon, and add some chocolate chips on top to each cookie. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Store in an airtight container or large plastic zipper bag in the fridge so they don't spoil quickly. Can also be frozen. *Who doesn't want to eat cookies for breakfast??? I know I do!* One Response to "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day..COOKIES!" | HI | HI RE | 713,243 |

author it is common knowledge that God exists as well as His Son Jesus. Though these topics aren't addressed in the typical way, (i.e. preaching and sermonizing) I really began to understand how a God could very well exist and yet be tied into everything I've ever believed (aliens, reincarnation, immortality). What's sad is that the Church today see's many of these things as "New Age", the very reason I hail this book. Anyone interested in finding out the truth about the universe in which we live or the true nature of our souls will not be dissappointed with it. I especially recommend this book to any Christian who holds beliefs that are labeled New Age or are just plain seeking. Like I said, it is not written from a religious perspective, is a very easy read. Thank you to the powers that be for letting me write this review. I'd like to thank Bob for being the first person to get me motivated to attempt to understand the mysteries of the universe. This book is riddled with paradox, truths and untruths. I cannot tell you which bits are what, simply because your interpretation is different to mine. I believe this is what Bob was trying to do with this book.

It seems inconceivable that, for several years, nobody but his wife realised there was a problem. "I kept my guard up," he says. "I was quite crafty about how I drank and where I did it. Matt and Dom probably didn't realise how bad it was because I wasn't a nasty drunk. I didn't cause anybody any problems. I just retreated." "For some reason he could still play the bass, even though he was shitfaced," says Howard. "It went wrong literally two or three times in 10 years, which is nothing." Eventually, however, it became unignorable. "He was drinking on stage," says Howard. "I started counting how many drinks he was having during the set and I could see him getting more and more glazed. By the point we came off stage he'd be fucked. It just got too weird." Did they give him ultimatums? "Yeah, a few times. Chris now says things like, I can't believe they put up with me for 10 years.

I need to start looking, because I have something to offer someone. " Or as I like to put it (there's a cute story behind it for another time) "Some Guy." If I was someone who gasped, I would have let out a gasp right then. Who is this person uttering those words, "I have something to offer someone"? Not me . Not the person who used to sit in her room and cry because no one would ever love her. Not the person who used to think using a chair made her a burden. Not the person who has been consumed with apathy for well over a year. Not the person who always uses her failures as data to prove she's always going to be a failure.

They also have 'group personas' for family, organisational and workplace interaction. Highly Unreliable/Broken Promises Psychopaths will make the most incredibly ambitious plans including you as their right hand man or woman then, on a whim, discard those plans and move on to some other crusade that excludes you. Targets often alter their own life plans to help the psychopath reach their imaginary goals, resulting in appalling emotional, psychological and financial chaos for the victims when the psychopath moves on. Idealisation Followed by Cold Rejection At the height of their idealisation of you, the psychopath will show you obsessive 'love,' care and attention. However, once they feel they have you where they want you -- or the relationship has ended -- if you collapsed in front of them on the street they would simply step over you as if they'd never met you and continue on their way.

How to find a job you'll love If you want to be satisfied at work, what should you look for? Prestige, money, something you're passionate about , a corner office? Books on careers guidance often start by asking you to consider your values and desired lifestyle, and then to find a job that matches them. But why expect this approach to work? Research has shown that the only thing that's consistently present in satisfying jobs is that the work itself is mentally challenging (1)(2), suggesting that finding challenging work should be the starting point for a satisfying career. What makes for mental challenging work is broken down into five qualities (4): Independence -- how much are you able to individually decide how to go about the work? Sense of Completion -- how much does the job involve completing a whole piece of work, so that your contribution to the end product is easily visible, rather than a small part of a much larger product? Variety -- how much does the job require you to perform a range of different activities, using different skills and talents? Feedback from the job -- how much does the work itself provide clues about how well you are doing? Contribution -- how much does your work affect the wellbeing of other people? A large meta-analysis of survey results (2) showed that each correlates with job satisfaction (mean r=0.41), as well as with motivation, productivity and commitment to your employer.

The ironic thing is that the FfTB crowd have little influence in the wider A/S communities. In fact, they are looked down upon by most. The reaction at TAM2012 told you how the community does not follow the hard line set out by PZ, Watson, Ophelia, etc. But you are most certainly correct. There is an increasing number of former FTB sycophants who now realise just how abhorrent PZ, Watson, et al are. In due time, FTB will be consigned to the dustbin of history, and the atheist and skeptic communities will grow ever stronger.

14 Tracks That Have Wowed Over The Past 14 Months In the 14 months since Socit Perrier launched there has been a whole lot of music released that's thrilled and excited. From lo-fi indie to crackly dubsteb it's been a riotous time, and to celebrate here's a 14-track playlist which attempts to distil the sound of the last year and a bit. By no means exhaustive, this compilation highlights future trends and present classics all mixed together in no particular order like a rather fine cocktail laced suggestively with Socit Perrier's lust for the sound of the new. 'Ashtray Wasp' -- Burial (Hyperdub) Released in early 2012 on the 'Kindred' EP, Burial was back to his bruising best with this masterpiece that encompasses what sounds like three different songs and secretly samples The Stone Roses. Moody and magnificent, this track proved dubstep is here to stay. 'Sixteen Saltines' -- Jack White (XL Recordings) Another return to form after the demise of The White Stripes came from impeccable bluesman Jack White. Taken from his excellent solo album 'Blunderbuss' this rip-roaring slice of hard rock harks back to grunge with its scorching guitar riff and lyrics about high school sweethearts. '128 Harps' -- Four Tet (Text) Kieran Heden's recent collection of releases on his Text label is at turns beautiful and head bobbing. Taking influences from garage and jazz, he manages to produce unclassifiable tracks with beats to die for and this track is a perfect example of his skilful productions.

to pledge allegiance to Christ and at the same time pledge allegiance to America is a fool's errand and at its core spiritual adultery. P lease face this reality: There is no political answer for the dire needs of the church and this fallen culture. We have chased after false hopes and dreams and have been rewarded for our rebellion. Millions of believers will continue to murmur and complain and they will refuse to fast and pray and open their hearts to God's voice. But there is now a chance for many, many believers to seek God's face and begin a fresh journey with Christ.

I must admit I had a huge crush on him. Very smart, colleagues spoke highly of him, have had several publications and is actively working in doing several research projects. Co-workers noticed how he flirted much by visiting me often in my office just to say hello and chat a little. Was already heaven for me. Lost communication for a year or so then re-established when for reason I could not remember. Text messages became frequent. Had short lunches and one time drove me home when my car was not available. We really are good friends. You know friends that are too obvious they like each other. He told me he liked me. He told me before I finds me attracted. I was flattered! That started the whole thing although no sexually intimacy involved, the longing to text and see each other progresses. On my way home he asked if he can show me his place so we hang out a little for several times. Then I found myself driving to his place more often until we had wine and one thing led to the other. It was wrong but I never felt so satisfied and happy just to be with him. He has all the qualities you mentioned with your man! One true eligible bachelor. | ID | ID QA | 1,428,393 |
Page 491 -- "...as if he were listening, and peering with wide eyes..." Legolas is busy taking some sort of evil-ness reading of Fangorn, because I guess he can do that. Apparently everything checks out. The forest is angry, but not at them. Can't you feel how tense everything is? This forest is giving me a headache. Gimli seems uneasy, while Aragorn is (unsurprisingly) unfazed. Legolas actually seems a little happy, which Gimli assumes is because all elves are weird. Nonetheless, they forge ahead. Aragorn finds footprints near the river which clearly indicate that both Merry and Pippin made it to safety. This is good news...that we already knew. The three hunters proceed deeper into the forest, reaching the rock wall where Merry and Pippin climbed up to meet Treebeard! Yet again, we don't really learn anything new here. Thankfully, this whole search scene for Merry and Pippin was over quickly. Can you imagine how tiresome it would be to rehash each and every one of their steps, having already heard how they escaped? However, we get yet another mention of the mysterious old man today. Gimli brings him up a lot, really pointing out the fact that he's more important than Merry and Pippin. They're fine! Just going off to war... They're about as well equipped as a peanut. But here's a point: Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are running out of food. What good would it be to find Merry and Pippin, only to starve to death? Aragorn says | OP | OP RV | 152,307 |

all those words; hopeless promises; take all the purity that your heart conjured, black shapes on white paper, imaginary kisses, given to the air as if to real blood-flushed flesh. And feed it to the fire, to its maker: forged in the fires of the heart, pinch out its ember. But remember: the fire is carried somewhere - but where? In the heart, here. Feel it . That's where. Take the fire my dear, place it in your hearth. And if my own fire needn't kill it, as the self-same gave it birth, if our love shrouds the flame, protects it, is new, different and kind, then let its words flutter, burning page-locked on the bitter wind. If this love is different, if this love is true, then let its words be burnt in death; ours alone, by others never viewed. The human heart is a curious thing - wounds are like tiny palpitations: they strike deep and swift, their shadows lasting weeks, months, even years - the scars weaken the heart, embolden our fears. But experience is like breath - take it in, hold it and let it pass through you; don't fight it: let worry go. With each moment of existence, let your feelings flow. For soon after pain comes beauty, opportunity, healing, revelation: damming the heart, blocking the waters, can only lead to devestation.

is sexually repressed but don't have them express their sexuality -- the imagination is better. 7) Invent new words. Go for sound not meaning. And you don't need a glossary at the end of your book to explain them -- if the reader doesn't get it, too bad! He will put it down to art. Write at least 1000 pages. After the publisher's cuts, it should not be less than 500 pages. A heavy tome is always authoritative. Also the reader will never finish it, so it will remain a mountain to be conquered, a masterpiece to be returned to time and again, in frustration. 9) Don't publicize the book. Just make sure it has some scandal attached to it (charges of nihilism, sedition or sexual deviancy would work). 10) Print a limited run of 100 copies, give them away free to people who are looking for a hook or platform to further their own literary careers, then sit back or get on with your regular writing and watch your book become the stuff of legend. Better yet, say it's out of print and have readers scramble to get their hands on a copy. In the end, if the reader does not understand your novel, he will put it down to the superior intellect of the writer and your work will be hailed as a classic, only to be read in small doses by scholars. | HI | HI HT | 3,356,220 |
play an online game of "find the egg" on a microsite detailing APS Group's IT technology, while using the egg timer to measure how long it took them. They were then invited to enter a prize draw to win a digital camera. APS Group business services director Ann McLaughlin says that response rates were much higher than industry averages. "There were 65 unique visitors to the microsite, despite the target pool of 50, meaning recipients were sharing the promotion with colleagues." The promotion also directly contributed to a new business win. "An existing client was impressed with the creative element of the campaign, and we've successfully introduced new creative design services to them -- with a first project worth 10,000." Digital channels In addition to pushing customers online with offline merchandise, measuring response to a promotion can be made significantly easier with new-breed digital giveaways. These involve people claiming something digitally, such as a free music download, usually in exchange for data that can be ploughed into a customer relationship management system. James Kilmartin, director of Upfront, says that digital promotions have added benefits rather than just the ease of collecting metrics. "Brands are desperate to develop continuing engagement with consumers, and it is far easier to do that over a digital platform than via any other," he says. This desire to develop engagement is also influencing the quality of content being given away.

I have learned an awful lot as well and the one thing I've learned is - It was time-wasting. When I was seeing W, I neglected my family and in particular my kids as W was my priority. Even my housework was neglected and kitchen was piling up with dishes, clothes left unwashed etc., as I was busy going out or spending tiem on phone/emailing W.

33 ] Australia was later used in a 1693 translation of Les Aventures de Jacques Sadeur dans la Découverte et le Voyage de la Terre Australe , a 1676 French novel by Gabriel de Foigny , under the pen-name Jacques Sadeur. [ 34 ] Referring to the entire South Pacific region, Alexander Dalrymple used it in An Historical Collection of Voyages and Discoveries in the South Pacific Ocean in 1771. By the end of the 18th century, the name was being used to refer specifically to Australia, with the botanists George Shaw and Sir James Smith writing of "the vast island, or rather continent, of Australia, Australasia or New Holland " in their 1793 Zoology and Botany of New Holland , [ 35 ] and James Wilson including it on a 1799 chart. [ 36 ] The name Australia was popularised by the explorer Matthew Flinders , who pushed for it to be formally adopted as early as 1804. When preparing his manuscript and charts for his 1814 A Voyage to Terra Australis , he was persuaded by his patron, Sir Joseph Banks , to use the term Terra Australis as this was the name most familiar to the public. Flinders did so, and published the following rationale: There is no probability, that any other detached body of land, of nearly equal extent, will ever be found in a more southern latitude; the name Terra Australis will, therefore, remain descriptive of the geographical importance of this country, and of its | IN | IN EN | 9,990,788 |

In summary, when assessing unfairness, meditators activate a different network of brain areas compared with controls enabling them to uncouple negative emotional reactions from their behavior. These findings highlight the clinically and socially important possibility that sustained training in mindfulness meditation may impact distinct domains of human decision-making.

cupboard for 3 - 5 days. (This is when those nice bacteria start doing their work.) 3. Then, take out whatever weight you've used, put a lid on the jar, and put your sauerkraut in the fridge for another month. 4. When it's ready, be sure to rinse it before you eat it - otherwise you'll end up feeling like you drank salt water. (I know this for a fact. Oops.) * If you can't get enough juices via pounding and weighting, you can make up a brine solution of 1 Tbs salt per 1/3 c water and top up the jar with it. This should keep well in your fridge, so don't think you have to eat it all at once. Sauerkraut loves: apples, cheese, rye bread, hot dogs, pierogies, sugar + vinegar, and also just to be on its own. I'm sure there are other things, but ... well ... my biscotti is gone, and my yogurt is finished and I really want to go downstairs and make a cup of tea. So, you understand, right? *********** How much did this cost me? Well, I bought a monster of a cabbage at the organic shop - for $7. It actually weighed 4 kgs. So my organic sauerkraut cost me less than $2 per litre. Bargain! The only down side is that you have to wait on it.

events, in order to explain , must themselves be psychical and not physiological. However important such knowledge as that of which we have just been speaking may be for physiology, it has of itself no value for psychology. It tells simply what and how physiological elements serve as a basis for psychical acts; what the latter are , or how they are to be explained, it tells us not at all. Physiology can no more, of itself, give us the what, why, and how of psychical life, than the physical geography of a country can enable us to construct or explain the history of the nation that has dwelt within that country. However important, however indispensable the land with all its qualities is as a basis for that history, that history itself can be ascertained and explained only through historical records and historic conditions. And so psychical events can be observed only through psychical means, and interpreted and explained by psychical conditions and facts. What can be meant, then, by saying that the rise of this physiological psychology has produced a revolution in psychology? This: that it has given a new instrument, introduced a new method ,-- that of experiment, which has supplemented and corrected the old method of introspection. Psychical facts still remain psychical, and are to be explained through psychical conditions; but our means of ascertaining what these facts are and how they are conditioned have been indefinitely widened.

at least one of the tent cities in Cali listed by wikipedia is gone, the one located in Sacramento. bear in mind that many cities and towns do not welcome a tent city sprouting up and many make an effort to shut them down. in Cali, I know of a couple small town tent cities: in Nevada City at the Coyote Diggins and in Grass Valley, behind the Safeway on Brunswick Rd. both towns are next to each other in the Sierra foothills between Reno and Sacramento. neither is an organized effort. there are groups that help out locally, Divine Spark in Nevada City and Hospitality House in Grass Valley. both towns are fairly friendly to the homeless. the one downside is that the weather is changing in the region and it will be rainy very soon, with some years snowy, some not. better to go somewhere in SoCal in the desert near a town and have your own tent city, you will be less encumbered by the bullshit of others and the cop hassles these places inevitably attract. Yeah I agree. The city shut down a small tent city with about 10 people here earlier this year near the train yards. People are likely to fare better if they camp covertly and tell no one where they are! Groups here tend to attract too much attention.

you". When using this force, know it has a weakness that a lot of other forces don't have. It's not 100% reliable. Always make sure you have a way out. I've found using the force card as a key card in these situations works quite well. And in that case one of my favorite reveals is to show 4 cards that are clearly not theirs (but tell them you think one of them is) place them face down (one of them is secretly their card, but you don't show that one), have them pick their card using the magicians choice. The fact that one of the 4 cards has changed into theirs, and that it's the one they picked out of 4 cards makes the spectator kinda forget about the fact that they couldn't shuffle (they can't because it might displace the key card). You know, if you are going to force a card on them you can get them to shuffle before hand. They can shuffle it and after they give it back just casually find the card and control it to the top, whilst talking to misdirect. Its important you let them shuffle, it puts them off guard. | ID | ID DF | 165,028 |

improve upon better acquaintance... Eventually I'll have to do something about that! I meant to say also that I very much emphathise with what Florence says about blogging slowing her down a little. Since I started, I feel I can't move on to a new book till I've got the most recent one out of my system by writing about it - so I'm tending to have a lot of draft posts sitting about! I'm so relieved to find someone experiencing the same thing as me, Karen! I almost didn't admit to this problem, as I felt ashamed to do so in the presence of so many other more assiduous bloggers - I didn't want to be branded as "the lazy blogger"! Another interesting post. Stu's choices were quite thought provoking, but not necessarily books I would choose to read (apart from The Hobbit, which I love), but perhaps I should try to broaden my horizons.

when he did, the UFC did not ask if he was hurt, he said he fought injured almost every fight in the UFC and mentioned that the UFC never thanked him for not pulling out when he was hurt. Aside from the injury situation, Jackson was critical of the opponents he has been matched up with in the UFC. In the interview with Rutten, Jackson said, "I think Joe Silva needs to be slapped in the face. I'm sorry, but you've got a fighter like me who likes to go out there and fight fights, so why do you keep giving me wrestlers who are going to take me down and hump me?" I'm a big fan Quinton Jackson fan and I would pay money to see him fight. However, just because he likes to trade punches on the feet, doesn't mean the UFC has to hand pick opponents for him to knock out. It's about who are the top guys at that time that are available to fight. If Jackson can't stop a takedown, this is not the fault of his employers. However, Jackson can stop takedowns and most of the exchanges in his last fights have taken place on the feet. In fact, it was a punch by Rashad Evans, a strong wrestler, which sent Jackson backpedalling at UFC 114. I'm an advocate of free speech and I certainly don't want to see fighters become robots.

a first round pick & take the best available player regardless of position and take chances on iffy players in the later rounds. Also prefer Graham over Gronk, mainly because Gronk is more of a traditional TE & NE lines up Hernandez as a WR a lot more, which may result in a bigger year for Hernandez over Gronk this year under McDaniels. Got Gronk in the 17th of 18 rounds last season, loved it. Unfortunately, not sure I am willing to pay where he is going this season. If I was going to take a TE high enough to get he or Graham, I would probably roll with Graham. Kevin Smith has been a steal going where he has been so far, but all of the articles on him of late are bumping him up. Still probably a good value play, a very good RB3 chance. Anyone else feeling that RGIII may be equally as valuable as Newton this season? Better passer, seemingly close in running ability. Anyone in a league where passing TD's are anything less than 6 points would be crazy not to get RGIII as a QB2, imho. | NARRATIVE | NA SR | 341,325 |

above, a welcome reminder that Center City isn't as far away as it seems. Reading Railroad trains once roared through this urban canyon, ferrying coal to Philadelphia's industrial belt. But since the last train made the trip in 1992 - delivering giant rolls of paper into the bowels of the former Inquirer/Daily News building - nature has been busy with its own landscaping. With modest structural improvements, advocates say, the industrial relic could be repurposed as an extension of the Reading Viaduct park, scheduled to complete construction drawings next year. The idea of creating a low-line companion to Philadelphia's planned high line has so gripped imaginations that a team of top designers has volunteered to sketch ideas for a belowground trail on the west side of Broad Street. Guided tours are now practically weekly events conducted by Paul van Meter, who first proposed a low-line park. There's one hitch: A new city plan just earmarked the low-line trench for a high-speed bus route that would connect a string of cultural venues to the heart of downtown. This idea, too, has gripped local imaginations. Transit advocates envision sleek electric buses slicing below street level, transporting riders from the Convention Center to the Mann Center in minutes.

As i said, I even had to change my phone ring tone just to help me to forget about him. Kat, like you, sometimes I feel like wanting to ring or text him just to say hello. We didn't break up on bad term. We just went quiet on each other after my "chat" with him. Sometimes I blame myself for putting him on the spot and rushing it too quick, too soon. I blame myself for not telling him that I love him. Perhaps he got the wrong message from me. But oh well. I don't want to ring him because I am also afraid it might re-start something again with him. Part of me think I have done very well in moving on my life and finishing an affair. And if I contact him again, I might go back to suare P.s: Continue... sorry, my above post was accidentally posted before finishing. Continuing here...

whom Hitchens has crossed swords in previous polemics. He persuasively demonstrates that Williams was willing to suspend academic impartiality when writing about Orwell, and suggests why that might have been. Other opponents - Claude Simon, Edward Said, E. P. Thompson - are similarly tossed and gored. Whether Orwell needs such protection is debatable, but Hitchens clearly has fun nailing the doubters, and it is fun to read too. Other chapters deal with Orwell and England, Orwell and feminism, that "blacklist", Orwell's novels and Orwell's fate at the hands of postmodernists. Orwell as literary critic is somewhat underrepresented, which may be related to the only serious criticism Hitchens has to make of his subject. This occurs when two of the planets in Hitchens's heavens collide: Orwell and W. H. Auden. Both have permanent spots in the Hitchens literary pantheon, but Orwell tactlessly starts a domestic squabble by taking exception to Auden's reference to the "necessary murder" in his poem "Spain", published in 1937. It is an ugly concept that Orwell was right to comment on; but Hitchens reacts by rushing to Auden's defence with the sort of biased critical language (Orwell "took venomous aim" and "sneered") for which he has previously censured Williams. Why would Orwell suddenly abandon the standards of fairness cherished by Hitchens just to have a pop at Hitchens's favourite poet? It is the partiality of Hitchens, not Orwell, that is in question, but it does not seriously mar an entertaining book that overflows with thorough argument and | OP | OP RV | 122,202 |

Credit: Melissa Di Ciero/Monash University Alan Finkel , a prominent Australian engineer, entrepreneur and co-founder of COSMOS, will be the next President of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE). Finkel, Chancellor of Monash University, will take up his new role on 1 January 2013, succeeding former Australian Chief Scientist Professor Robin Batterham, who completes his term at the end of 2012. Finkel will lead the ATSE Fellowship of more than 830 members -- one of the nation's four learned academies -- with a strong focus on achieving improved public discussion and policy on key national issues where applied science and technology offer solutions. Finkel, a former member of the Academy Board, will rejoin the board and become its chair from 2013. He was elected by the Academy's Assembly, which represents the broad Academy Fellowship and includes the Board and leaders of ATSE's divisions and topic forums. Batterham, announcing Finkel's election, said it had been a great privilege to serve in the role. "Alan Finkel will do a wonderful job as President of the Academy and will bring a range of skills, experience and commitment that will enhance its activities and its impact," Professor Batterham said.

Raising eyebrows does not mean the numbers are cooked. For those not familiar with the difference between the payrolls data and the labour force survey data here is a brief explanation. The unemployment rate decreased to 7.8 percent in September, and total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 114,000 ... However, based on their Household Survey data, the BLS reported that: Total employment rose by 873,000 in September, following 3 months of little change. The establishment survey (payrolls) data is subject to substantial revisions. The BLS report that the "change in total nonfarm payroll employment for July was revised from +141,000 to +181,000, and the change for August was revised from +96,000 to +142,000." The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has two monthly surveys that measure employment levels and trends: the Current Population Survey (CPS), also known as the household survey, and the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey, also known as the payroll or establishment survey. Employment estimates from both the household and payroll surveys are published in the Employment Situation news release each month. These estimates differ because the surveys have distinct definitions of employment and distinct survey and estimation methods. The document contains the following Table which catalogues the differences in the two employment surveys. The BLS say that: Both the payroll and household surveys are needed for a complete picture of the labor market. The payroll survey provides a highly reliable gauge of monthly change in nonfarm payroll employment. The household survey provides a broader picture of employment | IP | IP | 22,249 |
Saturday, September 01, 2012 Students' questions It is normal in English to say "the majority of people were" but "the proportion of people was". If the question was about an old friend and I spoke about an elderly friend, will I lose marks? Hopefully the examiner won't penalise you for this mistake. The confusion is understandable. For questions about where I live, should I talk about my hometown or where I live now? It doesn't matter. You can talk about either. If the question asks us to explain "problems (or causes) and solutions", how many problems and solutions should we mention? I'd go for two or three problems (or causes) and two or three suggested solutions. The ebook talks about "consumer culture". What does this mean? It's a phrase that is often used to criticise societies in which people are encouraged to buy more and more things. Click here to read more.

But I will tell Americans straight up that I don't support defining marriage as anything but between one man and one woman, and I think through nuances we can go round and round about what that actually means.

two block south of the current store. Plans call for the demolition of the current 3-story, former Borders bookstore building, and constructing a new, 17,500 s.f. store, with about 4,000 of that in a partial basement for back-of-house operations, and an unknown area at the rear of the store behind a stone wall. The architecture is a duplicate of the Upper West Side store: stone side walls, and 34-foot tall arched glass roof. City Planning Commission approved the project Aug. 17, 2011, and the Architectural Review Board approved it Sept. 19, 2011.

on the second floor, and sometimes even the one on the fourth. My neighbors never said anything; I was mostly a nuisance to myself. In this particular instance, however, after recently being burned, the pattern played out a little differently. When I yelled at myself in my head -- Geez, it's like you're a tourist in your own home! -- I saw that I was. The West Village wasn't home. I realized that I didn't even like it that much. In fact, I generally hung out in the bars and restaurants of other neighborhoods. I'd hardly decorated my room. The apartment felt counterfeit. So I started thinking backward. If this seemed obvious now, but I hadn't noticed any of it before, then my ignorance must have been willful, which means I'd had an incentive -- one whose imagined worth was so great, I'd gone more than $4,000 in debt paying rent in a neighborhood I couldn't afford. OK, here is where I tell you that I lied one last time. The truth is this: I do know why I moved to the West Village. I was chasing Lou. Finally, finally I'd reached her, and suddenly she was gone again. But in the legendary West Village, I could retrace her steps. Whenever I fancied, I could pop into Magnolia for a chocolate cupcake or go dancing at Automatic Slims.

us can decide how much we value, say,juicy burgersand double-dark chocolate ice cream compared to how much we value a trim waistline and longer life expectancy. And each of us values these benefits differently. The dietary choices that I make for myself are right for me, but I cannot know if they are right for anyone else. Progressives, in contrast, falsely assume there's a single correct metric, for the whole country, that determines for everyone how to trade off the satisfaction of eatingtasty but fatty foodsfor the benefit of being healthier.

The romantic and sensual feelings of cuddling up with someone extra special, or the commadre amongst friends making a S'more. Toronto Island The Toronto Island is a Chilly Mistress. It is always colder on the Island than any where in Toronto. Prepare for a day on a rougher terrain than downtown. It's real ground, not the running track. Dress for function not fashion. In other words, layer up. Break out the wool socks and thermal underwear. Bring food that is easiest for you to cook. if you are a chef who gets how to work a flame, than this is a great place to show off those skills. if you are more of a hot dog person, stick to hot dogs. Be they all beef or vegan, they are going to taste even better when the flame hits it. To get the process going contact the permits office . This link from Yelp was the best explanation that I could find of what to expect when discussing the fees and insurance issues. Its not cheap or easy to have a campfire on the island.
