mates along as you can. It gives the club the chance to sell a few drinks in the normally quiet early times and you'll have a bit of a crowd to work with. This is crucial, as promoters only care about two things: the right atmosphere, and how many people they can get in. STARTING YOUR OWN NIGHT This could be the answer if there are no clubs playing your kind of music. But beware! Club nights come and go all the time, the failure rate is frightening and the risks significant. Even the successful ones generally have a short shelf life. If you're lucky and dedicated you could become very rich. If you're unlucky and dedicated, you'll spend an awful lot of time and money and get yourself into debt. Is it viable? Before you begin, find out if your night can work. You might love your music, but how many other people do? Who will be your competitors? What venues are available? The right venue. Don't start too big. Bear in mind factors like the kind of crowd you're trying to attract, the price of the drinks, security, sound system, licenses and closing times, what nights they already have, how successful they are, and the location. It's best to start small and see if you can attract a reasonable number of punters. If all goes well, you can steadily expand over time.

should we post to this thread? Would it be sensible to post the list openly on this thread or not? (I'm not sure either way!) I'm asking as I have a mental list of people already from some articles I've just read, but my memory is pants! A campaign twitter account would be good too, particularly to get people involved who tweet a lot - like Caitlin Moran for example. Have you seen the 'shelve it' campaign that is trying to get porn and lads mags moved away from children's view? I mention only because they do twitter quite well. They ask people to photo newsstands, rate on their scores and upload. This looks like a similar campaign model. This is for two reasons: firstly people very often scan web pages rather than reading them, and it's easier to quickly see the meaning of descriptive links rather than "here" links. Also, for SEO purposes, Google will pay much more attention to a descriptive link. (It does look at words next to the link, but the actual words of the link are more important).

for the Salish Strait of Georgia is between 150 and 200 days, with most of the precipitation falling in the winter months. Moderate snowfalls occur from December to February, with July and August being the hot and dry months. Raw Natural Resources Of The Land: In the moist and temperate forests of British Columbia, limitless stands of cedar supplied the Coast Salish people with raw materials. The western red cedar was used for canoes, houses, clothing, and tools. The Salish harvested salmon and coastal shellfish as their nutritional mainstay, and supplemented their diet with deer, elk, moose, bear, migratory birds, medicinal plants, roots, herbs, and berries. Herring were abundant everywhere. Halibut generally spawn in twenty to two hundred fathoms of salt water and are found in the southern parts of the strait. Eulachon (or candlefish) ran in enormous quantities in the Fraser River, as well as in Bute Inlet. Sturgeons were also caught in the Fraser River, they usually entered the river system around the end of April, following the eulachon run. North Vancouver surveyors, 1893. Other fish such as flounder, dogfish, cultus cod, red cod, and rock cod, etc., are found in the Salish territories. Within a short period after colonization, the pristine traditional hunting and fishing grounds in the Coast salish territories were destroyed by the combined forces of logging, mining, saw mills, fish canneries, urban sprawl and hydro dams.

images which have long ears and the stone temple structures. The Short-ears lived on the western part of the island and had the more fertile lands. The Marquesans carved large stone images and built stone retaining walls, whereas the Mangarevans did not. Conflict arose because the Short-ears refused to carry stones to assist the Long-ears in erecting a temple. In the war which followed, the Long-ears were said to be almost exterminated. This may account for what appears to have the commencement of knocking down the images from their platforms. The fowl, which was the only domestic animal known in Easter Island, may have come from the Marquesas where it was present but not from Mangareva where it was absent. Because it was the only domestic animal, the fowl received more attention and honour than in any other part of Polynesia. Fowls became the mark of wealth, and festivals were characterized by gifts and distributions of fowls. In order to protect them from thieves, fowl houses of piled stones were erected to house them at night. Stones were piled up against the entrance and the sound of stones being moved served as an alarm to the owner. Skulls with incised carvings, imbued with power by Makemake, were placed in the fowl house to promote the egg-laying capacity of the occupants. It may seem a long call from the domestic fowl to the sooty tern, but both are birds and lay eggs. The sooty tern ( manu tara ) comes to | IN | IN DT | 576,088 |
adding noise. Plug a smartphone into a stereo with the volume maxed out and you'll likely get a lot of distortion. A preamp adds that volume without the noise. The need for a preamp bounces back and forth between audiophiles. Some prefer not to introduce an extra step between the music's source and the speakers, but others find it helps create a "warmer" sound. What does this mean for your cheap setup? You can skip it from the outset because most modern receivers handle this fine. Cables: It can be tempting to try justifying the purchase of expensive Monster cables for speakers or other components, but when it comes down to true sound quality, it doesn't matter. As a general rule of thumb, don't buy cables that look like junk and have cheap-looking insulation. Even speaker wire purchased at home hardware stores work fine. Michael Fremer is an advocate for quality cables but suggests, "A good audio store will let you use a credit card to take home cables to try. If you don't hear an improvement, you can just return them." Photo by MIKI Yoshihito . So what does this mean for your stereo? I talked with Ethan Winer, audiophile and author of the upcoming book The Audio Expert , about what components matter. He had this to say: The most important components to own are the source (CD and Blu-ray player), a receiver of some sort and good speakers.

Vinca Minor is a Seattle artist Matt Menovcik, blending classical piano with electronic-influenced synth for a hugely surreal, utterly drowning sound. Within "The Time Of You", off his new album Capital Of Sorrow , an intense piano soundscape is backed by heavy drone-like tones. The song is minimal but encompassing; a fully instrumental, soundtrack-like tune. Capital of Sorrow was not only composed by Menovcik, he also created a short film to accompany the work (starring, of course, himself). So, as you can imagine, "The Time Of You" is highly cinematic. How does the rest of Capital of Sorrow stack up? Well, wereas "The Time Of You" is instrumental, in other songs there are vocals: a hint raspy, highly emotive and also very centered around film.

U.S. in order to obtain, and what treatments people are coming to the U.S. to obtain. This is a crucial piece of the picture you're trying to paint. People leave the U.S. for medical care because it's *cheaper*, not because it's *better*. The reason medical care is expensive in the U.S. is fairly simple: 1) Higher healthcare costs result in a higher number of people who are uninsured. 2) People who are uninsured use sources of healthcare that are a drain on the industry - either Medicare/Medicaid, who don't pay their bills, or else use emergency rooms as primary care. 3) These costs are then passed on to the people who actually pay for healthcare, increasing the cost of healthcare. 4) Repeat (until we're all out of money). The root cause of increased cost of healthcare *is* government regulation. Remember all those "well-intentioned" state laws that don't allow health insurance companies to sell cheap, but limited, policies ("minimum coverage" laws)? That's cause #1. Cause #2 are government subsidies to companies for buying health care for their employees. We, even those of us who don't work for companies that provide healthcare, pay for those subsidies with money that we could be otherwise using to buy our own healthcare. Point is, don't require minimum coverage for a policy, and don't subsidize (at the expense of the individual citizen) companies who buy healthcare in bulk. Also, force our system of existing socialized medicine to pay its bills, and if it runs out of | IP | IP | 186,900 |
Iran is pretty much the only country on the planet that can be described as Islamically theocratic. Even a country as fundamentally Islamic as Saudi Arabia doesn't have a theocracy. I also find attempts by American Protestants to paint Shi'ites as "the more dangerous Muslims" rather ironic. When I read Hodgson's The Venture of Islam , it definitely seemed to me that over the course of history Catholicism:Protestantism::Sunni:Shiite. It seems to me that Shi'a, like Protestantism, tends to be more doctrinally firm and thus prone to schism, and schism again, and schism again, so that today it is smaller but less unified than Sunni. Sunni is much more small-c catholic, more accomodating to different cultures and personalities, so it's got a lot of the amoeba-like quality of Roman Catholicism. I have the impression that Shi'a is also like Protestantism in being more apocalyptic than Sunni (or Catholicism). In this analogy, the Wahhabis would be Opus Dei, I guess, but that may be a metaphor too far. and as far as separation of church and state is concerned, it's a pretty recent idea, not terribly popular with Christians until centuries of religious wars had persuaded most of us that we should be killing people for purely secular reasons Separation of church and state was popular with Christians around 2000 years ago and Christianity was a non-violent religion for quite a while after that time.

Humaneness monitoring will cost 700,000. Badger post-mortems will cost 248,000. My parliamentary question to Ministers, however, about the net reduction in compensation and testing were the badger cull to go ahead received the answer that it would save just 2.9 million over 10 years in each cull area. That is just not good enough. It will carry on costing taxpayers until Ministers cancel it definitively. The writing is on the wall for this badger cull. The costs to farmers and taxpayers will continue to stack up if Ministers continue to pretend that the cull will go ahead. We need to ensure that any solution works closely with farmers and I hope for their sake that the Minister will drop this charade that the cull will go ahead. Any solution will also require the consent of taxpayers and we must ensure that we get the best value for them, too. In my previous ministerial role, I instituted the e-petition concept and also introduced the Backbench Business Committee . This is a perfect example of why that was a very good idea, because Back Benchers were given the opportunity to debate matters of real importance that ought to be discussed. I was the first person to say that this matter should be debated in the House. Of course, the Government have only legislative time, so this is the right mechanism to use.

Team Village Capital Village Capital uses the power of peer support to build enterprises that change the world. Inspired by the concept of the "village bank" in microfinance and peer support groups such as YPO and EO, Village Capital puts the hard tasks of building companies -- criticism, strategy, feedback, and legwork -- in the hands of entrepreneurs themselves. Village Capital organizes cohorts worldwide and runs education programs focused on intensive peer review. At the end, entrepreneurs assess one another, and do so in an astoundingly collegial way. Entrepreneurs even sit in the investor's seat: the top ranked can receive pre-committed capital from partner investors. In Village Capital programs, entrepreneurs leverage help from their peers: individuals rooted in practical experience and gain a network of like-minded leaders to reach scale. Ross Baird is Executive Director of Village Capital and developed the concept in 2009, leading the development of Village Capital programs worldwide. Before launching Village Capital, he worked with First Light Ventures, a seed fund focused on impact investments. Prior to First Light, Ross worked on the development of four education-related start-up ventures: the Indian School Finance Company in Hyderabad, India; the National College Advising Corps in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and two ventures using technology to promote civic participation.

We don't know which came first; we probably never will. We do know that during this -- this Fast and Furious operation, there were e-mails in which they're saying we can use this as part of additional reporting or things like assault weapons ban.

The insults and abuse that men deliver is typically from football brained morons. And I gotta say, they do it to other men, too. Their air of latent, ever-impending violence and celebration of dumbness - and these males think they're so smart.

end, turns around and tries to provide one with the principle of least action. I agree time is a consequence of motion and not the basis for it, so that yes, units of time are no more precise than the methods used to define and measure them and Dr. Barbour clearly understands this, but it just seems that at the last moment, he has a failure of nerve and seeks to grasp something solid. If he has truly established that the principle of least action provides an irreducible unit of time between two configuration points of the universe, doesn't this prove time is a fundamental dimension between any two configurations of the universe, as opposed to saying two configurations of the universe cannot co-exist, therefore the difference is a process where one is becoming, as the other is departing, not an established unit between two specific configurations, because if time is simply a consequence of motion, how can there be dimensionless points of configuration from which to measure, without stopping the very motion that created time in the first place? Think about this in physical terms. If you freeze framed quantum activity, would it just be a still life of reality as we see it, or would the picture simply vanish like a non-fluctuating vacuum?

The deliciousness of Rolling Jubilee What to make of Rolling Jubilee , the latest bright idea from Occupy? The idea is simple: Banks sell debt for pennies on the dollar on a shadowy speculative market of debt buyers who then turn around and try to collect the full amount from debtors. The Rolling Jubilee intervenes by buying debt, keeping it out of the hands of collectors, and then abolishing it. Rolling Jubilee has already raised $115,000 -- which they say is enough money to buy and cancel more than $2.3 million of debt. After Thursday's variety show and telethon , both sums will surely rise substantially. The reaction from the financial press has been mixed. Tim Worstall somehow contrives to admire the idea while bashing everything else associated with Occupy at the same time; Nick Summers , on the other hand, thinks it's fundamentally misguided. A person's debt can't truly disappear with no consequences. The amount forgiven is technically income -- "cancellation of debt income," in Internal Revenue Service terms. It's a dollar-for-dollar conversion, says Robert Willens, a tax expert based in New York. For example, a person with regular income of $50,000 who has $25,000 in credit-card debt discharged will be taxed on April 15 as if she earns $75,000. "There's not any doubt about the tax outcome at all," says Willens.

someone else wishes you to say. In order to do that, you have to know what you wish to say -- and in order to do that, you have to be educated in a certain way. This does not mean going to particular universities; rather, you have to have read an enormous amount. For example, in most journalism schools -- which are highly relevant in all of this -- people are essentially trained as if they were technocrats, whereas what a journalist really needs is a very thick skin and -- even more importantly -- a very strong ethical core. The ethical core is built on reading an enormous amount, and on understanding the nature of political battle -- intellectually and ethically. For within two weeks of getting your first job, somebody is going to come to you to try to get you to change your story -- because you are insulting their advertisers, insulting the owner, or something of that ilk. If you do not have that ethical core, then you cannot write the appropriate article. The same thing goes for people going into politics. The core of a great political leader is not cleverness; it is ethics!

I hope therefore that for our own sakes as a part of the people, and for the sake of posterity, we shall act heartily and unanimously in recommending this Constitution (if approved by Congress & confirmed by the Conventions) wherever our influence may extend, and turn our future thoughts & endeavors to the means of having it well administred. On the whole, Sir, I can not help expressing a wish that every member of the Convention who may still have objections to it, would with me, on this occasion doubt a little of his own infallibility, and to make manifest our unanimity, | SP | SP IT | 714,086 |

maybe ten rows back, a great band fifteen and the amazing ones can bring everyone along, including the dish-pig out back. There are moments in a great show where your heart beats to the rhythm of the kick drum. The bass line kicks in and you can't help but move your feet, then the guitar breathes to life. Like an E-chord flavored bolt of lightning it goes through you like shock treatment. You are the music. You can't tell where the band ends and you begin. Then the words are taken from your mouth and the singer tells the world. There is poetry to the world and a brotherhood amongst the seething mass of humanity that you belong. A brotherhood of instant karma where you know that this is a moment of your life that you have waited for. I have seen it before, in small venues where a band with a huge stage presence can get the place rocking. I've seen the real pros do it too. I was there when twenty thousand people exploded to sound of the opening notes of "Even Flow" in the hay day of Pearl Jam. I sung with sixty thousand of my closest friends to "Where the Streets Have no Name" in a stadium made for football that U2 had made their own.

Anton Cartoon from Punch 1941 I should imagine that the cooks who worked so hard to provide hot, nourishing meals at the hundreds of British Restaurants throughout the UK (by the mid-1941 over 200 of these restaurants existed in the London County Council area, although the Wartime Social Survey conducted in 1942-43 indicated they were more popular in London than in the rest of the country.

Black Pudding Hot-Pot Recipe The recipe suggests you serve this hot-pot with cooked beetroot and who was I to change the meal plan, so cooked beetroot was indeed served with this hearty luncheon dish, and it was a curiously comforting accompaniment, the earthiness of the beetroot complimenting the spiced black pudding hot-pot perfectly. This hot-pot serves four people and apart from the beetroot, nothing else is needed to supplement the dish as you have carrots, onions and potatoes in the casserole, making it a one-pot meal. For black pudding haters amongst you, I would replace the black pudding with normal bangers (sausages) if you could get hold of any, again, they weren't on ration either.

As we move forward, some people will ask why we need a firm time line. The answer is clear: our goal is not to build a country in America's image, or to eradicate every vestige of the Taliban. These objectives would require many more years, many more dollars, and many more American lives. Our goal is to destroy al Qaeda, and we are on a path to do exactly that. Afghans want to fully assert their sovereignty and build a lasting peace. That requires a clear time line to wind down the war. Others will ask why we don't leave immediately. That answer is also clear: we must give Afghanistan the opportunity to stabilize. Otherwise, our gains could be lost, and al Qaeda could establish itself once more. And as commander in chief, I refuse to let that happen. I recognize that many Americans are tired of war. As president, nothing is more wrenching than signing a letter to a family of the fallen, or looking in the eyes of a child who will grow up without a mother or father. I will not keep Americans in harm's way a single day longer than is absolutely required for our national security. But we must finish the job we started in Afghanistan and end this war responsibly. My fellow Americans, we have traveled through more than a decade under the dark cloud of war.

is important to let your leads know how your system will benefit them and make them money. Your network marketing can begin with a social networking presence, but will advance if you build a good website for your business. Even a good blog can generate enough interest. In addition, make sure you are taking full advantage of the exposure you can get from the various social media options to enhance your network. Whatever you do, you need to have a presence on the internet in a place that is community oriented. Having a blog that is well designed can be extremely helpful. Repeat your successes when you can. Find the trailblazers within the industry and watch them closely. Follow in the footsteps of others to develop a successful attitude or approach to build your business. Repeating their successes will help you improve your skills. We shouldn't just learn from the mistakes we make. We should also learn from other people's successes. When you have a failure or setback, learn from it. When you understand why certain techniques were unsuccessful, you may be able to transform a bad idea into a good one. By evaluating your past failures, you can determine which approaches are effective and which may require further development. Let your down line know they can come to you for help.

Post navigation Prince Philip and the blue-arsed fly There was a recent surge of media interest when the Oxford English Dictionary ( OED ) put out a call for members of the public to help them find early evidence for a range of terms, including come in from the cold , disco , and blue-arsed fly . This last term sparked interest here in Australia because the OED claimed that the earliest evidence in print for the term was from Prince Philip commenting, in 1970, that a photographer had been 'running around like a blue-arsed fly '. Prince Philip watching out for a blue-arsed fly, perhaps Many Australians were outraged not only that Prince Philip was cited as providing the first evidence for a term that they believed had been around much earlier, but also that the term was not considered to be Australian. One letter to the editor of The Australian by a West Australian commented: As schoolboys in the 1950s, my mates and I often ran about like blue-arsed flies , incurring the wrath of parents and teachers. For the Duke of Edinburgh to be given credit for a 1970 use hardly seems right. (6 October 2012). So what is the story of blue-arsed fly ? And is it Australian? Although the OED claims the term blue-arsed is first recorded in 1970, the variant form blue-assed -- of English regional and US origin -- was recorded as early as 1932.

How to Make a Native Bee Nesting Box Back in the spring I made a native bee nesting box by drilling a bunch of holes in the long end of a 4 by 6 inch piece of scrap wood. I cut one end of the 4 x 6 at an angle so that I could nail on a makeshift roof made from a piece of 2 x 6. I hung the nesting box on an east facing wall or our house with a picture hanger. I used three sizes of holes to see which ones would be most popular: 1/4 inch, 3/16 inch and 1/8 inch. All were moved into by, I think, the same native bee within days of putting up the box. This afternoon, when I went to check on the nest to take some pictures for this blog post, I was delighted to see a lot of activity. There were bee butts sticking out of the holes, as well as bees flying in and out. I think they are some sort of mason bee -- extra credit to the person who successfully identifies the species: They move fast, so I was only able to get these two blurry shots. No, they are not Chupacabras . With the success of this primitive native bee box, I decided to make more nesting boxes to see if I could attract other solitary, native bees.

this decision, Book-Larsson suggested. "It would be more about being a strategic location for us than anything else. "Which is why Germany could also be a good one...

While GamersFirst has not revealed the sum paid for APB (to be relaunched in the first half of 2011 as APB: Reloaded), Book-Larsson did reveal that the game had other suitors. "There were several interested parties for sure. We happened to run into some of them too... So we know who they were. "It wasn't really a bidding war, I wouldn't say, but it was pretty clear that in order to be competitive you probably had to consider this as something you were going to invest quite a lot of effort into.

Not a week goes by that I don't quote Tony Soprano's post-shooting quip from season six: "They say every day's a gift, but why does it have to be a pair of socks?" Or Livia's hateful but sometimes illuminating kiss-off: "Poor you ." These people are memorable and quotable. They're just words on a page and actors saying lines, but in our minds, they exist . But I have to award this category to The Wire for the sheer breadth of its achievements. Near the end of its run, as it struggled and succeeded at recalling and polishing characters and subplots dating back five seasons, sometimes hauling out people you'd nearly forgotten about and giving them one last lovely grace note, the magnitude of its achievement became undeniable. At its most magisterial, the show felt like the dramatic version of a journalism-school test in which students close their eyes, open up a phone book to a random page, call whatever person their finger randomly landed on, and try to tell their life story in 500 words or less. Simon's crew did this over and over and over for five seasons, with black and white characters, rich and poor people, civilians and cops and criminals, teachers and politicians, state senators and grieving mothers: hell, everybody.

so I have no vested interest. Depends. I think that especially in the public sector this can be an issue. Can be very cliquey. Most promotions are not based on merit IME but through preventing people access to all relevant information resulting in them not having a chance ... What is going on in the Department of Transport is scandalous IMO, it is not the ordinary civil servants carrying out the work, it is the top who is at fault. The underlings only do what the top wants (or what they think the top wants), otherwise they will be out during the next reorganisation (tend to be many in the Civil Service). So it is the top they should get rid off, small chance of that happening, it is rather blame the messenger as usual. That's why nothing will really change/improve. Just power games.

Hence, Scottish EU membership in the event of secession is definitely not automatic.

I Am Yusuf and This Is My Brother: a conversation with Amir Nizar Zuabi Amir Nizar Zuabi has been credited for his role in bringing Palestinian theatre to international attention with his hard-hitting and thought-provoking productions. However, his primary aim is simply to tell the stories of the Palestinian people, he explains to Belinda Otas . Amir Nizar Zuabi's current play, I am Yusuf And This Is My Brother, is playing to packed audiences at the Young Vic, one of London's most prestigious theatre venues. A compelling drama about dislocation and dispossession, it tells the story of Yusuf and his younger brother Ali. Yusuf is the eldest of the two, but is eccentric and has a rather child-like point of view on life. Ali, meanwhile, is in love with Nada, whose father refuses to allow them to get married, because his brother Yusuf is 'odd.' While at the heart of this play is the love between two individuals, the bigger picture tells the more painful story of the people of Palestine and the devastating effects the loss of their land had on them in 1948, and how this loss still reverberates today. Zuabi was raised in Nazareth, in the Galilee, where there is a huge population of Palestinians living within Israel. He says the aftermath of the 1948 partition is still visible when you take a look around, and is one of the factors which provoked the thoughts that led to his new play.

not have law degrees. The bar association prepares and administers the tribal bar exam, which is offered annually. It also conducts an annual conference on Navajo law, law reform proposals and developments in federal law as it affects American Indians. It further plays a role in seeking changes in the law and in court administration. The Navajo Bar Association clearly is atypical, due to the size of the Navajo population. Nevertheless, its experience is interesting in that its development may indicate future trends for other tribal courts. Support Staff In addition to employing over 360 judges, tribal courts employ over 800 other personnel, consisting of court clerks, administrators, bailiffs, prosecutors, secretaries, probation officers, juvenile counsellors, public defenders and detention officers. While few systems possess all these as separate job functions, the vast majority have a few key people who perform several tasks. The general pattern, for example, appears to be to have one or more employees who provide secretarial services to the judiciary, who also act as court reporters, process all dockets, distribute court forms, and deal with the public and the litigants. It also is common to have a tribal prosecutor who not only conducts criminal matters, but also acts for the tribe in legal affairs, advises the council on legal issues and provides legal direction to the tribal police.

What is 'Going Viral'? I recently heard someone describe the phrase 'going viral' as a term used by internet marketers when they 'don't actually know what happened'. By that, he means, when a piece of content does 'go viral' on the web, it's difficult to identify the exact circumstances that made that piece of content so shareable, or so linkworthy. There are a number of different factors that could be influential in whether a piece of content does 'go viral' or not: 1. What was the format of the content, was it a video? A textual blog? An infographic? Research? An image you have created or a photo you have taken? 2. What made the content special, Did it demand extra research? Did it take an extra-long time to write or construct? 3. What was the subject matter of the content, did it have a particular human-interest angle? Was it relevant to a breaking piece of industry news? Was it written with an anti-establishment perspective? Was it controversial? 4. Where did you share it, Facebook? Twitter? LinkedIn? Google Plus? Social bookmarking sites, such as Delicious? Digg? Reddit? YouTube? Did you email it to friends, family or industry influencers before you shared it on social networks? Did they also share it? 5. What time did you share it, Twitter sees the most activity between Thursday night and Friday morning. Facebook is most active at the weekends.

Salvador, 2 on November 15, 1989, Chief of Staff of the Salvadoran Armed Forces Rene Emilio Ponce, with the collusion of Colonel Inocente Orlando Montano and other high ranking officers, gave orders to Colonel Guillermo Alfredo Benavides to kill the long time rector of the UCA, Father Ignacio Ellacura and to leave no witnesses. The following day, a unit of the US trained Atalactl battalion entered the UCA and ordered Father Ellacura and four other faculty members, also Jesuit priests, to lay face down in the courtyard. A sixth priest was found inside the residence and the housekeeper and her fifteen-year old daughter were discovered in a nearby room. The Truth Commission describes what happened next: These cold-blooded murders were carried out by government forces in the course of an FMLN guerilla offensive that took the civil war to streets of San Salvador. As veteran commentator Peter Kornbluh points out, "Embarrassed by the strength of the insurgency, senior Salvadoran military officers decided to kill as many activists, labor leaders, and "subversive elements" as they could find...". 4 Why launch an assault on the UCA? The university was obviously not a military threat, having been surrounded by a security perimeter of about 300 soldiers days before the murders. Rather, it was the mission and praxis of the university that made it "subversive" to oligarchic interests and ideology. Since its founding in 1965, the UCA has played a prominent intellectual role in the cultural, social, and political life of the country. The | IP | IP ED | 3,232,647 |

are providing lots of fodder for research into educational techniques, which will aid this improvement. Back to the high cost of education. MOOCs offer the most scope for change in under-graduate education. And that's where the massive cost hurts individuals the most. Undergrad programs tend to have the highest number of lecture-based informational survey courses, and MOOCs are ideally suited to replace those. And improve on them. They may not all be free, but they will be available at half or less the cost of traditional university courses. And that can have an enormous impact on the educational system. It is already starting to show that potential. | IN | IN IB | 3,351,020 |

and he is right. In this book, he tackles the tough questions of why does God let evil happen, and where is God when it does happen? He does not answer these questions with wishy-washy clichs, but gets right to the point of identifying humanity's responsibility. Whether it is the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, or the 1940s death camp of Auschwitz, or the 2001 attack on the Twin Towers in New York City, Evil, and Terror are our common foes, and at the same time, our common questions surrounding God's contribution or not, are the same.

so much. It's the other level, I think, but hopefully the records work on both levels. Do you find it hard to adapt your music to a live setting? TH: Recently we've recorded a lot more live instrumentation, and that's really helped in terms of how it works when we play if live. Our early stuff was a lot more sample-based and now we've moved towards live instrumentation. JA: Live, it's always been a sort of mix of live editing and live structuring, loops, etc. You're not making a drum pattern live, you're playing a loop. We love it, and for the last show we did we had friends make a video especially for us to use. They got in touch with quite a famous modern dancer, who's got a quite extraordinary body, and went to a disused warehouse in Portugal to film for three days and night. They created this fucking bonkers visual element, and now it really feels like the two are working together.

something I would definitely buy. There are NO really good Animation studios free or paid for at a reasonable price on the Web that are any good. If you want a good one you need to pay many 100's of dollars. I know Draw Plus and Photo Plus have basic animation tools, but a stand alone product could have many more features and be upgradeable just like the other Serif programs. Every 18 months or so, Serif seems to come out with a new version of each product in its line. And as I look at the new features, it's clear to me that these features will appeal to fewer and fewer people. I used to purchase upgrades regularly, but I'm finding that now I really can't make use of the expanded feature sets for the most part. What I think is missing is better information regarding the feature sets that are already in the software. Photoshop, for example, has some additional features over PhotoPlus, but the biggest advantage is the many educational opportunities that are available. Go to YouTube.com or visit your local bookstore and you will find details on how to do many complex (and useful) tasks. The PDF help files in PhotoPlus are helpful as far as they go, but they are no substitute for serious training materials. Most of what I know about retouching did NOT come from Serif materials. In most cases, I have "translated" Photoshop books or videos. But, sometimes, the translation is too | ID | ID DF | 266,744 |

base period market basket of goods and services in the CPI has risen from $10 in 1982-84 to $11.65. For further details visit the CPI home page on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/cpi/ or contact our CPI Information and Analysis Section on (202) 691-7000. Note on Sampling Error in the Consumer Price Index The CPI is a statistical estimate that is subject to sampling error because it is based upon a sample of retail prices and not the complete universe of all prices. BLS calculates and publishes estimates of the 1-month, 2-month, 6-month and 12-month percent change standard errors annually, for the CPI-U. These standard error estimates can be used to construct confidence intervals for hypothesis testing. For example, the estimated standard error of the 1 month percent change is 0.03 percent for the U.S. All Items Consumer Price Index. This means that if we repeatedly sample from the universe of all retail prices using the same methodology, and estimate a percentage change for each sample, then 95% of these estimates would be within 0.06 percent of the 1 month percentage change based on all retail prices. For example, for a 1-month change of 0.2 percent in the All Items CPI for All Urban Consumers, we are 95 percent confident that the actual percent change based on all retail prices would fall between 0.14 and 0.26 percent. For the latest data, including information on how to use the estimates of standard error, see "Variance Estimates for Price Changes in the Consumer | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 594,665 |

subject of the treaty for our future as a nation. It is a concern that needs objective non-racial discussion and the starting point has to be with the original English version of the Treaty . This now seems to be available. The document seems to have been verified, but also seems to have been deliberately concealed from public knowledge or at least deliberately ignored with the same effect. This is now changing as more and more folk become aware and web-sites provide information. Read the web-references given and make up your own minds. Lets get rid of rampant Maori apartheid in New Zealand. It is time we all became the New Zealanders we are - "He iwi tahi tatou - We are now one people" - New Zealanders, as stated and intended by people now long dead. Perhaps I should also say that many 'Maori' benefitting from the treaty look a lot paler than me and it seems the whole problem, though played by many as a racist card, is nothing of the kind, but is about greed in it's various guises.

home since. I must say that I didn't have high temperature at first. I started taking painkillers every 4-5 hours to relieve the symptoms, such as muscle pain. You could say that I was relatively better during the day the next day, and still did not have high temperature. Only in my second night, after discovering that I had swine flu, that I had high temperature. My temperature was 39 and even after taking paracetamol tables it would not go down below 38; at times I was shivering. I could barely sleep at night. Things started improving at the third night, when I finally had a normal sleep; I don't know maybe because I hardly slept the previous two nights. I am now on the third day and going towards my fourth night and can feel that my conditions started improving. I see from other comments which show that our bodies react slightly differently to the illness. Well, in my experience, I did not have high temperature initially, but I had it little later. I don't think we should be looking at high temperature only. If you have all other symptoms, except for high temperature, most probably you do have swine flu and should be taking precautionary measures as soon as possible. smc123 said on 27 October 2009 we have been diagnosed with swine flu. now 10 days since onset of symptoms and im sloly recovering. thought it might help to share my experience. had all the symptoms listed including | IN | IN IB | 448,511 |
more stuff than the core, though, so distributing the heat means that the overall temperature is a bit lower, and since it's not in the center of everything, there's less pressure so it flows around like a thick liquid. The crust moves around on the outside of this, causing tectonic plate movement. As the plates move and run into each other, in some places one plate slides over another. This is called a subduction zone. The plate that slides under melts as it pushes into the hot mantle. It melts relatively slowly and tends to trap some of the liquid stuff (called magma when it's inside the planet) between the two plates, creating a magma chamber. The plate movement builds pressure in the magma chamber, and the only place the pressure can vent is through cracks in the crust created by earthquakes and such. When the magma vents out of the crust and reaches the surface it is then refered to as lava, and the lava leaking out is what creates one type of volcano known as a "shield volcano" as well as another type known as a "lava dome." There is another type of volcaic mountain known as a "composive volcano," but that's not lava and you specifically asked about lava. I could go on forever here, in fact I'm afraid I almost have.

the skin of the radio business by interviewing presenters such as Mark Radcliffe and Nicholas Parsons as well as industry insiders. John's daily life is directly affected by his radio habit as he finds himself organising a poker night during exposure to The Jazz, and Zane Lowe's energy on Radio One goads him into cooking his stir fry at the same speed as Morecambe and Wise prepared their breakfast. Finally, John decides to turn his life around and radio becomes his saviour. John Osborne has long been a fan of radio - from late night sessions of John Peel to Test Match Special at dawn, he has always enjoyed tuning in to the riches of our best broadcasts. When his dull temporary job became drearier than ever, John decided to remain attached to his headphones all day to listen to some of Britain's more unknown stations as well as revisiting the mainstream to fully experience the breadth of our radio output. The result is a funny, disarming ride through aspects of Britain that are uplifting, informative and sometimes plain bizarre. Throughout his month of intensive radio listening, John flits through talk radio, sports shows, dips into the mainstream and the minority, exalts in specialist music shows, comedy and local radio before expanding his mind with an experimental arts channel.

Next flip the orange quarter onto a flat side and trim any excess skin from around the edge of the jelly. Repeat until all the oranges are trimmed to neat boat shapes. Once all the jelly is set, place a boat into each cup and top with a pirate flag. Make Ahead Notes: These jelly boats can be make 3 days in advance of the party.

It's gonna be similar to the last two years and that will be a lot of very new material and a lot of very old material. The only song we really do from Deliverance is the song "Deliverance". Maybe a couple little teasers of some things from Wiseblood, Deliverance or Blind. But really it's a little bit of Animosity , a lot of the self-titled and some of the very newest stuff.

through the tracks: solo the drums, solo the bass, and tweak things. A lot of the EQ was applied without solo?ing things; instead I?d EQ with the whole track playing, which gave me a much better idea of the pockets the different tracks were playing in. Synthesizers, depending on the part and the sound, can take up a lot of space, and when you have a lot of them layered on top of each other, you can run into some train wreck-areas. This was one of the reasons why I was very happy to mix on an SSL. The solo-in-front feature is something that I wish every DAW had. If you are EQ?ing a track, it allows you to keep the track at the same volume, but everything else will drop behind it, and you can control how much behind you want it. It allows you to EQ a track in context. "The total number of tracks on ?Boom Boom Pow? was about 64. These include all the different drums, the synths, and the vocals and backing vocals. We also did several remixes of ?Boom Boom Pow? that will be released on an EP. We really tried to go for a different sound with the remixes, and some of them, quite frankly, ended up being almost new songs.

Chef Niko Pizzimenti has embraced the sourcing of the majority of ingredients locally and aligns strongly with Ladro's philosophy of simple cooking with the highest quality of ingredients. Most of his influences come from the recipes and flavours of his Sicilian hometown and family, and it's these elements that inform his refresh of the Ladro menu.

Journal titles can be a problem for the medical researcher. This is because the editors of some publications require that references should give full journal titles, and other editors require that references should give abbreviated journal titles. For example, JAMA specifies that authors should "abbreviate names of journals according to Index Medicus ". Many other medical journals, including The Medical Journal of Australia , follow the same policy. On the other hand, some journals (for example, The British Journal of Psychiatry ) require journal titles to be given in full. The Index Medicus abbreviations are the abbreviations used in the Medline/PubMed database. These abbreviations are assigned by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), and are sometimes known as the "NLM abbreviations" or "Medline abbreviations". There are also other systems of journal abbreviations in use: always check the "instructions for authors" of the journal to which you are submitting your paper to find the style of abbreviation required. EndNote copes with the problem of journal abbreviations by means of its term lists . A term list can be set up for any field in an EndNote reference, but the term list linked to the Journal field is particularly sophisticated, because it allows you to store not only the titles of all the journals which appear in your EndNote library, but also up to three different abbreviations for each of those titles. It is possible to import ready-made term lists into your EndNote library. The University of Queensland Library has produced | HI | HI HT | 288,718 |

No, as long as the vehicles meet the eligibility requirements, they qualify for the freeze. I already have a pension/senior concession on my vehicle. Am I still entitled to the registration fee freeze? Yes. You will still be entitled to the registration fee freeze if you have an eligible vehicle that is registered for private use.

The registration costs for vehicles with a GVM over 4.5t are set nationally by the National Transport Commission and generally take effect from 1 July each year. Why aren't motorbikes included? Motorbikes are not considered to be a family vehicle. However, the motorcycle registration fee charged is significantly lower than the registration fee for a car so motorcycle operators are already paying less than other vehicle operators.

You state that a Federal "deficit" is not bad because a deficit is exactly equal to what private investors have invested. And I agree with that premise. But doesn't the "deficit" also include what foreign individuals and institutions have invested? That is, a national deficit could be high, and that nation's savings be low? (And if so, does this even matter?) But more importantly, these "savings" account investors have with the Federal Reserve, this money lent to government (instead of being spent), well aren't large deficits still a problem as that is money that the government has to use and not individuals and business.

significant liver damage (Stage III or Stage IV histology). The best biochemical tests of liver "function" are serum albumin concentration, serum bilirubin concentration and prothrombin time. In PBC, the serum bilirubin concentration (which may also be lowered by ursodiol) is probably the best biochemical predictor of disease progression. I also read that the terminology liver function can be a mistrued also. What the readings apparently indicate is possible liver damage but as I understand it, bilirubin is the one that is important as you have stated. Also with progression in liver conditions as there are others besides PBC as we know, others are noted that are quite normal in early stages (ie blood clotting time for eg of which you have also mentioned here as prombothin). Given the liver can repair itself to a certain extent, I personally conclude that that is why the bloods go up and down as in early stages of a liver condition I am confident in stating that the liver is still pretty good in attempting to repair itself. thanks.... thats some really good information. It makes alot of sense, but Im afraid MOST Dr's dont live by this. I had many many Dr's tell me NOTHING was wrong with me bceuase my LFT's were just barely, and I mean barely elevated.

The Bulgarian striker, who moved to Fulham on Friday, said he was unhappy with the way the United manager had treated him in the final months of his time at Old Trafford. "I don't think I deserved such treatment at United -- not playing in the last year," said Berbatov. "I went more than 10, probably 15, times to ask the coach if they need me. And every time I was told that I'm an important player and should not leave, but then again I was not in the team. "Maybe I should've gone when he [Ferguson] left me out of the squad for the Champions League final [in 2011]. I know he's the boss, but he has lost, to some extent, my respect because of the way he treated me." Berbatov became United's most expensive player when he joined from Tottenham Hotspur in 2008 for 30.75m, and was the Premier League's joint top scorer in the 2010-11 season with 20 goals. Berbatov, who said he would not come out of international retirement, felt he fell victim to a change in United's style of play. "He [Ferguson] tried to explain to me that the team will be using a more direct style, with more speed," he said. "But I've never been among the fastest players, I like to hold the ball, this is my style. "I found it hard to accept his decision -- I still have my dignity.

is novel about "The End of Men" is how it merges these two subjects in a compelling and readable fashion, where the overt economic and social gains made by women are contrasted with a powerful exploration of the relative economic decline of men. Summarizing much of her book in a sentence, women are at parity in many professions, have moved ahead in education, and the younger generation of men are falling further and further behind. There are some very interesting tidbits here, as when she interviews Sheryl Sandberg and Marissa Mayer and discusses how women's careers get sidetracked not just by taking time away from work but also when they run into roadblocks at other points in their career, how the dearth of manufacturing jobs for men are likely to mean that the gap will continue to widen, how educators are beginning to fret over a lack of qualified men for higher education, and how single women with children really don't need to rely on men economically any more - even if this means they're juggling exhausting schedules - and how this is affecting their decisions to form relationships and marry. This comparison is well done, and the praise it has earned from other reviewers is deserved. Had she kept to this, the book would have lived up to the spin and this would be a much shorter, 5 star review. Unfortunately, Ms. Rosin goes off track when she tries to project this economic shift to societal changes. Many of | IP | IP DS | 282,809 |

How can you get rid of clothes moths? The common clothes moth: 'It is possible to defeat moths. You could, for instance, burn your house down.' Photograph: Alamy When you look at the size of a clothes moth -- and sometimes I look at the size of a clothes moth five times a day prior to mashing it violently against a wall/carpet/treasured coat -- it seems extraordinary how useless the human race is at killing this most destructive of pests. Without difficulty, people wipe out badgers, cats, other human beings. How hard can it be to kill a scrap of animated dust that lives on old sweat and cardigans? True, weaponry has advanced, a little, since I was first infested. Two decades ago, when a soft Nicole Farhi cardigan emerged for its first outing with ragged holes already dotting the moth-favoured breast region, the best on offer was mothballs and those bits of amusingly-shaped cedar that are as effective at combating moths as, say, snowballs would be at wiping out the Taliban. That I followed, scrupulously, the advice at the time -- discard the principal moth victims, wash out the drawers, launder any survivors, then ceremonially re-inter what remained with mothballs, lavender and pricey bits of cedar -- merely ensured every wardrobe would be turned, in time, into a woollens' charnel house. Even tiny hand-knitted dolls' cardigans that had survived decades in Yorkshire were eaten after a few months on the backs of my daughter's moth-infested bears.

What Separates the Good Public Speakers from the Great? Would you have thought that it is listening? It is. The pivotal point when public speakers move from good to great is when they listen to their audience and understand what they (the audience) need to hear. This sounds counter intuitive doesn't it? Our natural tendency is to share what we know (often cramming in far too much). Of course your vision and insight is what you will be sharing but the secret is in how you will do it. How you share your ideas so they resonate so deeply with your audience they become your rabble rousing cheering section. It's done through thoughtful and strategic listening. Gary Vaynerchuk spoke in Vancouver at the Financial Post's Reach 2012 event this past week. He listens. Gary shared the secret to his success, "I'm always thinking from the customer perspective". Sounds easy doesn't it? It's not -- it takes time and introspection. Gary is where his customers are. He finds them on social media and he travels internationally to speak with them. Yes, I said speak "with". Gary is a master at getting down on the floor and speaking with his audience and creating lively discussion. This is the mark of a great public speaker -- one who really listens to the questions and responses. He looks into individuals audience members eyes and "hears" what they are saying.

there is more than enough money in our health care system to serve everyone if it were spent wisely. Administrative costs are at 31% of U.S. health spending, far higher than in other countries' systems. These inflated costs are due to our failure to have a publicly financed, universal health care system. We spend about twice as much per person as Canada or most European nations, and still deny health care to many in need. A national health program could save enough on administration to assure access to care for all Americans, without rationing. Who will run the health care system? There is a myth that with national health insurance the government will make the medical decisions. But in a publicly financed, universal health care system, medical decisions are left to the patient and doctor, as they should be. This is true even in the countries like the U.K. and Spain (or in U.S. systems like the VA ) that have socialized medicine. In a public system, the public has a say in how it's run. Cost containment measures are publicly managed at the state level by elected and appointed agencies that represent the public. This agency decides on the benefit package and negotiates doctor fees and hospital budgets. It also is responsible for health planning and the distribution of expensive technology. Thus, the total budget for health care is set through a public, democratic process. But clinical decisions remain a private matter between doctor and patient.

"click to get this friggin message away" mentality..negating any so called "security awareness" that Microsoft continually gets criticized on. UAC is completely useless to a more advanced computer user (power user, admin, etc) because of the lack of flexibility and ease of use options to make adjustments. There is much better software out their. Quite frankly, Microsoft fails in terms of security(on multiple fronts). Its surprising how badly they fail considering how innovative they can be on other issues. Do yourself a favor and turn off UAC and get some better software (there's even better free software...). If you were writing a program "for Vista" but it only works properly on "pre-Vista," then *you* fail because *you* didn't really write it "for Vista."

Create an Aged Vintage Style Logo Design in Illustrator Follow this step by step Illustrator tutorial to create an aged vintage style logo design. We're going to take inspiration from generations past, when logos were hand crafted with custom lettering. To achieve the same effect in Illustrator we'll customise existing fonts to create a old school layout of cool typography. The vintage logo we'll be creating is based on a fictional jeans company Black Denim Co. The logo uses some of the classic design tricks from the 30?s, 40?s & 50?s to capture that old school look and is finished off with some distressed textures to represent the low-fi print techniques used by our ancestors. Classic logos were all about the typography. They often used a mix of hand crafted scripts and bold sans-serif lettering. Browse over your collection of fonts and compare the different styles to find one that matches the 30?s, 40?s & 50?s eras of advertising and branding. I've selected the Lavanderia font , but I'm not too keen on the flat edges. So why not customise it? Convert the font to outlines in order to manipulate its shape, then use the Pen tool to add in an extra point on the flat edges and adjust the bezier curves. The difference between the customised and the original is only subtle, but it helps create a unique design that fits the style we're aiming for. The current font seems a little too upright compared to other old school | HI | HI HT | 3,008,119 |

Friday, February 24, 2012 Pinterest: How to prevent your Blogger images from being pinned This post explains how to stop images on your Blogger blog from being pinned to a Pinterest site - by inserting a meta tag in your Blogger template. I discovered that Pinterest has responded to the very many howls of "theft!" by those concerned about copyright infringement. I know I was very concerned when I saw how people were pinning with blatant disregard for the owner of the image and their copyright restrictions on use or publication on other sites. (At the end of this post are references to several blog posts and articles which detail why it is a problem) Pinterest has now introduced a piece of code which prevents images on your website or blog from being pinned. When a user tries to pin from your site, they will see this message: "This site doesn't allow pinning to Pinterest. Please contact the owner with any questions. Thanks for visiting!" I tried it - and it works. So this is what you have to do to install the code on Blogger. 1. Old Blogger - Go to the "Design" Tab in Blogger. In New Blogger, select the edit menu and then choose template. Alternatively, while logged in, select the Design command - top right of page.

The Jacob's ladder is one of the most ancient and famous of folk toys. Legend has it that one was found in King Tut's tomb, which means these fascinating toys were played with in Egypt before 1352 B.C., when the young king died (at about 18 years old). It's amazing to me that this humble folk toy would have been included among Tutankhamen's most significant effects, along with brilliant jewelry, amulets, masks of pure gold, prized objets d'art, a solid gold coffin, statues, furniture, and even a full-sized chariot. Jacob's ladders, named for the biblical Jacob who saw a ladder leading from earth to heaven in a vision, have shown up all over the world. Like the spinning top, the Jacob's ladder seems to be universal, appearing at widely divergent world locations with no apparent historical connectedness. I still don't completely understand how this toy works. Engineer friends of mine have told me that the apparent falling of the blocks has to do with a double-acting hinge. But to name it is not to comprehend it. To operate the toy, simply hold the top block by its edges and let the rest of the identical blocks swing downward until the "ladder" is fully open. Then, holding the top block by its edges, turn it 180? in a left rotation, until the top and second blocks are parallel and touching. When the held block hits the hanging block, a series of blocks will begin cascading down. Then repeat the motion 180? | HI | HI HT | 280,016 |

to the cinema and I'd think we were there to watch a movie and they thought we were there to cuddle and kiss. I hated every moment of it, but I thought everyone hated it and forced themselves. When I talked to my family and they explained that most people enjoy that kind of thing, I decided that I must be really strange. I was very confused until I was 18, when I had a conversation with a friend who asked if I might be asexual. I looked it up and felt it fitted. If I hadn't discovered the asexual community I would have continued to think something was wrong with me and could have fallen into a relationship I didn't want to be in -- I think that has happened a lot to other, especially older, people. We tend to use terms like 'a-romantic', 'bi-romantic' and 'hetero-romantic'. Someone like me who's a-romantic will generally have no desire for a romantic relationship (or a physical relationship, at least). Someone who's bi-romantic is interested in romantic relationships but has no preference as to gender. Homo-romantic and hetero-romantic work like homosexual or heterosexual but without the sexual attraction element. I was in a relationship briefly with a man who is also asexual, but there was nothing in it that I couldn't get from friends. We spent most evenings together, going for walks, going out to dinner, playing games or watching TV, during which we would hold hands or cuddle on the sofa. | OP | OP | 520,460 |
