Palace Resorts, Cancun, Mexico
Many of the flight scenes featured in Quantum of Solace were filmed in the warm white sandy beaches and crystal indigo seas of Mexico. World-renowned fishing, diving and snorkeling, archeological sites dating back thousands of years, a balmy tropical climate and water sports galore…this is Cancun! Holidaymakers can keep busy 24 hours a day just participating in the many activities and tours available, yet Cancun remains a tranquil retreat where you can relax to your heart’s content along the peaceful shores.

Sleeps 2, from £1125 per week
Agritourism of Federica, Chianti, Tuscany
A large portion of the gritty action featured in Quantum of Solace was shot in Tuscany. To shoot the foot chase in Siena, officials supplied €1 million to the filmmakers, to build four camera cranes, alter rooftops, and hire 300 extras needed for the scene. Tiny hilltop towns, sun-drenched hillsides, a rolling countryside and enchanting little hamlets hidden along ancient streets and pathways, Tuscany is an adventure into the past of castles, fortresses, walled towns, ancient olive groves and vineyards and traditions that are honoured from generation to generation. Agritourism of Federica is a 300 year old stone farmhouse, to a high standard to retain its Tuscan authenticity. The property was part of a summer residence belonging to Monna Lisa, the Florentine noble woman who inspired Leonardo’s masterpiece, La Gioconda. Perched on a hilltop in the scenic Chianti Classico region, the Agritourism of Federica is an ideal base for expeditions into the countryside, with good walking, mountain biking and horse riding country nearby, or for exploring Tuscany's artistic and architectural heritage.
Sleeps up to 6, from £585 per week
Puerta de Sol, Madrid
The capital of Spain saw Bond demonstrate his licence to kill during Quantum of Solace. Madrid is characterised by intense cultural and artistic activity and a very lively nightlife. The apartment sits in a quietly grand building, surrounded by a taste of central Madrid's shops and tapas bars. A subtly-styled elegance, its own private balcony and a first choice location in the Sol district of central Madrid make up the winning formula for this superb city-living apartment. Its simple monotone of opal-white décor, pinewood and frosted glass neutrals are combined with flashes of orange and glossy design pieces, for the optimum in modern cool. With an impressive setting in the heart of Madrid, this is a favourite for couples and small groups visiting the city.
Sleeps up to 3, from £882 per week

When it comes to Denzel, I believe his talents allow him to play any roll.
Denzel Washington was the winner, with 21 percent of people choosing him to play Jesus. Runner up was Daniel Day-Lewis, followed by Al Pacino. Ryan Gosling barely edged out Woody Allen for the fourth spot and Philip Seymour Hoffman came in last.It should be noted, however, that 15 percent of respondents chose “none of them.” So who would you cast to play Jesus? Remember, Russell Crowe is out — he’s already been tapped to play Noah. It’s fun to play armchair director, and tapping into that fantasy is exactly what Vanity Fair and “60 Minutes” did in a new online poll. They asked: “If you were directing a new film version of the New Testament, which actor would you cast to play Jesus?” Source: Today | <urn:uuid:c19d1ddc-7874-4238-b720-8b8cbf143ae2> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.hot1071.com/index.php/news/147-denzel-to-play-jesus-christ | 2013-05-19T02:46:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696383160/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092623-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975865 | 187 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
InterContinental San Francisco
The team at the InterContinental San Francisco carried out a green campaign with the direction of Harry Hobbs, Area Director of Engineering for the hotel and through this campaign produced a LEED Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council in 2011. The hotel is the first InterContinental property, and one of the few hotels in American, ever to achieve this prestigious ranking for sustainability.
The golden rule the hotel set out with was that we would not accept anything that compromised the look and feel of the hotel and potentially impact the experience of the guests. As the World is in the grips of Global Warming, clients and companies have begun to demand sustainability and products/services which promote a reduction of the carbon foot print.
The hotel partnered with PG&E and the U.S. Department of Energy's DOE Gateway Program. The hotel long wanted to replace existing lighting with LEDs but had been unable to fin a new LED product of sufficient consistency or quality. The DOE and PEC experts selected the new lighting to meet the hotel's strict standards. 900 new 6.5 watt LED lamps were installed in the lobby and other public areas of the hotel. Having identified the best available LED technology, the hotel moved forward with the retrofitting of 3000 guest room lights with LEDs.
The largest and most impactful energy-saving measure to date has been the installation of a water side economizer for the rooftop HVAC system. The economizer takes advantage of the cool San Francisco Weather to provide more efficient air conditioning with less need for chillers.
The hotel partner with Zip Car to have a docking station for an electric proto Prisus Electric Hybrid. This car is being tested for Toyota and will soon be in full production. The hotel has achieved a trash diversion rate of 83%, closely approaching the 90% needed to be considered a zero waste stream hotel. In addition, the Hotel's ENERGY STAR rating has improved from 64 to 87, which in conjunction with LEED Gold, makes the InterContinental San Francisco one of the greenest large hotels in the nation. Harry gives enormous credit to his PG&E LodgingSavers for the success of this huge undertaking for the colleagues.
Through the retro commissioning of the hotel guest room water usage was reduced by 22% and linen reuse has a 41% success rate. Electricity usage which is 100% off set by wind power, has contributed to an overall savings of $161,357.25 yearly. Totally yearly savings $217,600.74 - as the hotel continues to look for measures to help reduce the carbon foot print. | <urn:uuid:77e1e69a-0d86-4051-9f4a-b9058dcda51c> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.hotelcouncilsf.org/events/2012_Innovation_InterContinental_San_Francisco.aspx | 2013-05-19T02:58:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696383160/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092623-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950192 | 531 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Moscow Circus: From the big top to the stage
ADAPTED from the big top to the theatre stage, the Moscow State Circus’ spectacular show arrives in the island this weekend, for two shows at the Gaiety Theatre.
Stylistically, Soviet circuses are focused on Eastern European culture, and hold more narrative and dance than their Western counterparts.
The Babushkin Sekret show features a mammoth cast of some of Russia’s most talented circus artist, many performing in the British Isles for the very first time, including the ‘beautiful queen of Russian circus’ Yana Alievia, who features on a revolving aerial chandelier in the newly devised show.
Stars also include the Whirlwind Rubsov troupe, who acrobatically catapult themselves at breakneck speed, and the gyrating juggling Sherbakovs.
Gracefully flying and spiralling around the stage will be The Doktrov and The Alikanov characters, as well as the high flying bouncing bamboo bravados of The Perushkins.
Comedy relief comes from award-winning clowns Valik and Valerik, with their unsupported ladder routine so often a crowd pleaser.
Babushkin Sekret is in 1927, it is inspired by the legend of The 12 Chairs, in which family jewels are hidden from the Bolsheviks inside a chair.
A former member of nobility works as a desk clerk, until his grandmother reveals on her deathbed that her family jewellery had been hidden in the family’s dining room set, which was all expropriated by the government after the Russian Revolution.
The desk clerk, played by clown Valerik and his side kick Valik, become treasure hunters, while the Bolsheviks also try to track down the chairs.
As the story unfolds the two comrades find the chair set, which is put up for auction, but fail to buy it and afterwards find out that the set has been split up and sold individually.
Racing against their competitors, the two finally discover the location of the twelfth and last chair, but will it contain the treasure?
The story has not only inspired The Moscow State Circus in its latest production, but also a series of films and live comedy shows, including 1936’s Keep Your Seats Please starring George Formby.
For breathtaking theatrics however, you can’t beat seeing the performers in the flesh, with contortionists, jesters and acrobats on stage at the top of their game.
The show takes place at the Gaiety Theatre, Douglas, on Saturday and Sunday, with two performances each day.
On Saturday there are shows at 5pm and 8pm, while on Sunday performances are at 2pm and 5pm.
Tickets are £23.50 for adults, concession price is £13.50, and family tickets are available for £68.
Call 600555 or visit www.villagaiety.com for tickets, or call in to the Villa Marina reception or Welcome Centre at the Sea Terminal in Douglas.

If you’ve met me in real life or seen photos of me, you know that I have a set of knockers.
Yes, I mean boobs.
It’s hereditary and my genes gave with two hands of tissue to create mine. Lucky me.
My small-chested friends say they’re jealous but really the grass isn’t greener on the other side.
More boobs, more problems.
One of these problems includes finding supportive bras and, well even just fitting in some clothes. Some button down shirts make me look like I’m “hulking” out of them in the chest.
So, in talking to a fellow big chested friend, I decided it was time to invest in some new undergarments but was very clear about how I would survive this horrific shopping experience.
“I need to find someone with the same boob vision as me.”
Basically, this means finding a saleswoman who is also big chested so we’re speaking the same language.
I went to a fitting once at Nordstrom with a small chested woman and she literally said, “I don’t know what to do with you.”
They’re boobs dear, not grenades.
Then, a friend told me about another store in Chicago that specializes in fittings for women sizes A-N. Clearly, this caters to women who may also feel insecure about their chests, like I do.
The fitting took about an hour and the woman listened to my irrational insecurities and issues and then came back with a few to try on. She even complimented me on my “voluminous” chest. Well, thank you.
Finding bras when you’re full chested is not the sexiest feeling. Especially when you see magazine photos of women who look great in them, but it never translates to your chest.
That said, I found one that worked for me. Sure, it was expensive but if I’m going to keep this chest, I need to feel good about it, and this helped me feel that way.
Boobs are expensive yo, but finding someone who shares your boob vision is priceless. | <urn:uuid:1dcd4cee-2f93-4fe6-b140-de7117790bde> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.myeverydayadventures.com/2012/05/09/sharing-the-same-boob-vision/ | 2013-05-19T03:15:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696383160/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092623-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970321 | 467 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
With much sadness, I put up my PAM 127 up for sale. Please see my description below.

Crystal: sapphire, made from corundum, 2 mm thick. Anti-reflective coating.
Water resistance: 100 meters.
Strap: hand-sewn leather with steel buckle personalized PANERAI.
This watch is in excellent condition and complete with everything, including both original straps (cashmere worn by previous owners, but burgundy strap is unworn in original wrap), libretto, COSC certificate, warranty card, complete triple box, and includes original receipts from when it was purchased in 2003 from a So Cal AD. It has a very low serial number, below #50 out of 1950. The bezel does show some light wear and scratches, but nothing a cape cod couldn't get out and make look like new. The watch shows wear expected for a 10 year old watch, but it's in amazing condition and keeps excellent time. I purchased this piece from a well known risti up in the Northwest and have enjoyed it, but I have it up for sale for only for financial reasons and am not interested in any trades. I hate to see it go, but the skid marks on my credit card forces this sale. It's harder and harder to see this complete set with all 3 boxes come up for sale, but even rarer to have the original receipt included with the package.
If you've been waiting for a complete fiddy to come available, this is the watch for you. I'm listing the watch for sale for $19,500 complete with insured shipping within the CONUS only (No international buyers please, sorry). The Simona strap that is mounted on the watch is NOT included in the sale. I live in So Cal and would ideally prefer to do a face to face meeting for the transaction. I have many references and would hope that the buyer has the same as well. Feel free to email me at [email protected]

Brian Eno Small Craft on a Milk Sea(Warp Records) Buy it from Insound
There’s nobody quite like Brian Eno. I don’t think anybody disputes this. That said, many have tried to emulate the man’s prolific musical output with varying levels of success. If we are to be honest, nothing reaches the heights this ever-important musician has scaled in the past, and he’d be hard pressed to reach them again himself. Small Craft on a Milk Sea might not be up there with the very best of Eno’s career, but it doesn’t pretend to be — and by this merit, it flits toward success.
For a man who released his first album at 25, defined the ambient music genre at 29, and has been redefining the creative process ever since, to remain impactful is no small feat. That said, Brian Eno never seemed one for small feats, did he?
Small Craft on a Milk Sea is decidedly in the vein of historical Eno work, but the details make the differences all the more clear. If you’re geared up for a repeat of an Ambient-series effort, you’ll be slightly surprised — but surely not confused by this output. With the average track clocking in at around three minutes long, the musical journey of a track is sometimes over only just as it starts. You’d imagine that would be jarring, but there’s something more here. These tracks never really aspire toward being more than a few minutes long, by and large, so to be surprised time and time again would be wide of the mark — though the first few listens may have dedicated Eno fans wondering what happened and why there wasn’t a little more development here or a little more attention given there.
This isn’t an album of minimalist qualities, either. At least, it’s no more minimalist than other soundscape-style albums Eno might rightly call his bread and butter. But when tracks just end with no more than a flourish — well, something seems a little off. Of course, a Brian Eno album that didn’t seem strange would be a strange thing itself, wouldn’t it?
But as incomplete as some of these tracks might feel, this is truly an album you have to consider as a whole and less as a collection of tracks driven by electronic twiddling. Like the dots of pointillism, Small Craft on a Milk Sea is best viewed from afar. Taken together, it is brilliant and breathtaking. It’s something unique, even among the Eno canon. Even when it seems a bit disjointed on close inspection, it’s when you take a step back that this album really comes into focus.7 November, 2010 - 20:48 — Matt Montgomery | <urn:uuid:d3834a13-3278-4b9a-841d-12af432a6708> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.noripcord.com/reviews/music/brian-eno/small-craft-milk-sea | 2013-05-19T03:21:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696383160/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092623-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962214 | 587 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

- A Forgotten Truth
By presenting subjects in a conclusive manner, film involves little more than laying out a chronology and “getting the story straight.” Film gives audiences a sense of the challenges in historical interpretation. They address subjects authoritatively, suggesting that the investigator works with an orderly universe of evidence. At the same time film gives shape and meaning to the sources.
About the main caracter of the film:
Rizaj earned his BA in History from Skopje University in 1956 and his doctorate from Sarajevo University in 1965. He is one of the founders of the Department of History of the University of Pristina, where he taught from 1965 until he retired in 1987. He also worked as a Special Consultant for Turkish State Archives in Istanbul from 1989 to 1990. Rizaj is still active in writing and in 2010 was awarded as “Educator Emeritus” by the Kosovan government.
He has done extensive research in Turkish Archives in Istanbul, and the British Library in London. During his studies, he masteredSerbian language, Ottoman Turkish, as well as modern Turkish language and English. He has written extensively on Albanian history, with an emphasis on Kosovo. His research gave him enough scientific material to produce several books, most prominent his 1982 book “Kosovo during the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries” in which he emphasizes that Kosovo was dominated by ethnic Albanians during and after the Middle Ages, a claim refuted by modern historiography.
- TV format “We have a job for you” - co-production of New Promotion Group and Radio Television of Kosova (RTK)
Kosova job market needs help and there is no subject that can capture wide audience attention as getting a real paying job just by getting into the TV show.
Basic idea of the TV show:
- KosovaJob.com is an online database of CVs and open job positions. KosovaJob.com featured partner company commits to employ one applicant;
- TV show follows 10 applicants as they audition for the job, prepare and go through the job interview, follow through on tasks that are related to the job and finally become a new employee of the featured company;
- 4 weekly episodes make a cycle, 1 cycle = 1 job position filled;
- In first 3 shows (in cycle) we drop 2 applicants, on final show we remain with 4 candidates and one of them gets the job.
The main idea is to educate general public on how to prepare for the job interview and how to communicate their skills and comparative advantages. Also, we want to show the behind-the-scenes perspective of the process of job interviews and applicant selection.
Our expert team of judges consists of: psychologist, human resources expert, company representative.

14238: Kharg Alt Sculpt, Reven Sergeant ($7.99)
Ben Siens, Kevin Williams
Kharg is strong and ill-tempered, like many bull orcs. He and dozens of other Bull Orcs are capable, if unimaginative leaders. The peoples of the Sula Ulus understand strength, and Karg and the strongest Tomukh are made to lead them. He hopes for nothing more than a foe to fight, wives to sire children, and land to hunt on.

It is a bleak barometer that has the task of quantifying the brotherly love of this community as a whole. Sure, we as Robesonians have our tender, empathetic moments of unselfish giving — but this is usually when we choose, not
practice for a way of life. We live in such harsh economic times that members of our own societal family are so pressed to provide food on the table that they resort to stealing from nonprofit agencies whose sole purpose is to assist those of us who are in need.
On Christmas Day at 9 a.m., my husband, who is the manager of Robeson County Church and Community Center
Home Store, received a telephone call notifying him that the front window of his store had been broken out. When he arrived, he learned from the police that the culprits had broken into the building and stolen the safe.
What is wrong with this picture? This little store serves people from donations that we all supply them with. Vouchers can be presented that allow people to get clothing, appliances and other household items for free. Good winter coats cost anywhere from $1 to $5.
Every one of us has a responsibility for our culture being so disparaged as to force individuals into making such senseless choices. If there existed a more giving nature to our daily lives, this kind of travesty would not be as common as it is today. | <urn:uuid:7b33f3e3-95a1-4022-b854-b91224bcc2c4> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.robesonian.com/view/full_story/1023323/article-It%E2%80%99s-our-fault-that-thieves-stole-safe-from-nonprofit | 2013-05-19T02:45:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696383160/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092623-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97688 | 286 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
|195 Degree Superstat (2 3/64" x 29/32" x 29/32")|
Unlike conventional thermostats that continually open and close to achieve
the proper operating temperature and flood the engine with coolant, the Stant
SuperStat® thermostat has a patented v-notch, non-linear design that reduces
cycling by precisely metering the amount of coolant needed to maintain proper
operating temperature. The v-notch provides a small inital flow. As the engine
heats up, the v-notch gradually opens wider, metering coolant into the system
until the desired engine temperature is reached.
The high strength stainless steel flange is burnished to a bright finish for
additional stress relief and added corrosion resistance.
Superstat premium thermostats have:
- Heavier frames and springs
- Larger heat motors
- Patented Weir valves
The unique Weir valve provides a higher flow of coolant to the radiator than
any other thermostat on the market.
- The early flow of coolant minimizes the “cycling” of temperature
allowing the engine to run a steady temperature, resulting in higher efficiency.

South Africa - An Example To The World
by Margo Bastos
(Port Elizabeth, South Africa)
As the amazing changes that have taken place in South Africa over the last 15 years show - in human relationships, anything is possible! As yesterday's Polling Day in Port Elizabeth shows...
(STORY THEME: HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS)
...Well, this is a personal story but not only about ME. First of all, yesterday, 22nd April 2009, was our general elections in South Africa and I was representing one of the political parties at a voting station. This meant being on duty from 6.30am until all the votes were counted and boxes sealed for our station. We finished at 3.30am!
Two things to remember! It is only since 1994 that every South African has been able to vote AND we are part of Africa...
Elections in Africa are usually fraught with all sorts of allegations of corruption, violence and other stuff that makes me want to run away...
But yesterday was inspiring!
I had almost twenty four hours to watch fellow South Africans standing in a long line for hours and generally sharing the excitiement of being able to make a X.
Young people, black and white, voting for the first time. Elderly folk being taken to the front of the long queue by election officials - and nobody moaning! Chairs being shared by those who found the standing too tiring. Agents from different parties sharing food. Black and white older people sharing stories - as if the past has come and gone. I did not feel any tension, any animosity, any blame, any anything that I would expect from a group of mismatched people who are still learning how to live with each other. What an inspiration! We ordinary humans are really able to do what we need to do if we just relate to each other as individuals... I saw that yesterday as people who, 15 years ago, would not even walk on the same side of the road as each other.
Made me proud to be South African! | <urn:uuid:129644bd-6bb8-40a8-b8bf-32dbe3af7dbc> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.selfhelpcollective.com/south-africa-an-example-to-the-world.html | 2013-05-19T02:53:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696383160/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092623-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975138 | 419 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
|Have I Suffered?|
|Written by Sherry|

You must read and watch this mutli-media NYT interview with Catholic psychotherapist Marsha Linehan. Once a profoundly mentally ill young woman, she was transformed by a incredible encounter with God's love before the Blessed Sacrament and has developed the world's first effective treatment for border line personalities - for people like herself. Be sure and watch the brief video in which Dr. Linehan describes her transforming encounter with God.
It is a must-see if you or family or friends have lived the heart-breaking reality of serious mental illness.
I first heard about her in Seattle while trying to find help for a family member. That she was BD herself was widely known in Seattle so I'm a little puzzled about the "she's coming out" tone of the article. My heart sang, wept, and prayed as I read her story. All I could think was of concentration camp survivor Corrie Ten Boom's saying: "There is no pit so deep that He is not deeper still. They will believe us because we were here."
"The patient wanted to know, and her therapist — Marsha M. Linehan of the University of Washington, creator of a treatment used worldwide for severely suicidal people — had a ready answer. It was the one she always used to cut the question short, whether a patient asked it hopefully, accusingly or knowingly, having glimpsed the macramé of faded burns, cuts andwelts on Dr. Linehan’s arms:
“You mean, have I suffered?”
“No, Marsha,” the patient replied, in an encounter last spring. “I mean one of us. Like us. Because if you were, it would give all of us so much hope.”
Notice that in the picture of Dr. Linehan's scarred arm, she is wearing a bracelet medal of Our Lady.
Imagine: our parishes are centers of intercessory prayer where the Blessed Sacrament is regularly exposed in a reverent way for anyone - the mentally ill, non-Catholics, agnostics, seekers, skeptics, anyone - to encounter. A parish where pastors like one I know - who annoints the sick repeatedly in his parish and routinely sees out and out miracles (infertile women become pregnant, clincial depression vanishes, tumors disappear) - and trained prayer teams which include members with the charism of healing are available.
What God might do in our midst. The miracles that would be possible. | <urn:uuid:5e651f2f-f7d9-487b-87fd-c27833bfdae5> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.siena.org/June-2011/have-i-suffered/Print | 2013-05-19T03:06:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696383160/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092623-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968399 | 538 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
LONDON (AFP) - Motivation comes in many guises and Arsene Wenger is cleverly cultivating a sense of injustice in his Arsenal players as they stride through their Champions League group.
Wenger's side are in fine form and should extend their 100 percent winning record in Group H when they host Slavia Prague on Tuesday.
The Gunners have surged to the top of the Premier League after 11 consecutive wins - their best streak since 2002 - and are playing arguably the most eye-catching football in Europe.
The downside of such a dynamic start is it could breed complacency among Arsenal's young squad when confronted by a team of Slavia's relatively meagre pedigree.
So it was revealing to hear Wenger talk passionately about last season's Champions League exit against PSV Eindhoven, and how the painful memories of that second round defeat can serve as a useful reminder of what happens to a team when they take their foot of the gas.
"The big frustration in our throats is how we went out last year against PSV Eindhoven," Wenger said. "That frustration is still very lively.
"To get that out, I do not think we will have any chance to relax against teams like Slavia Prague because we have been knocked out last season by PSV.
"We have a year's more experience now and have a squad which is really of a very good level, where everybody can play.
"I believe the strength of this group is that despite their youth they can handle that - they lack fear because they can play. Confidence is a very important factor in our game."
It has become common-place to express surprise at how well Arsenal have fared this season despite the loss of their talismanic striker Thierry Henry to Barcelona.
But, while others were writing off the Gunners, Wenger had already seen signs of progress during the last campaign.
Rather than be affected by Henry's departure, the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie and Mathieu Flamini have been liberated by the absence of their sometimes over-bearing former captain.
For their confidence to really flourish, Wenger knew Arsenal needed to get off to winning start. They have accomplished that aim in style and now the French coach expects them to sustain their momentum.
"When you do not start well, you have to be even stronger to get back and you need even more experience," he said.
"So with a young squad like we had it was important, especially with the season we had where belief was a bit down, to start well early and we have done that.
"The players will be up for it. Can we sustain our pace at the moment? That is a question I understand, but why not?
"On the performance we have shown until now, it is not only that we can win the games, but also that we have quality."
With van Persie currently sidelined through injury, it took Arsenal a while to break down Bolton on Saturday and they are likely to face similarly obdurate opponents in Slavia.
The second half introduction of Theo Walcott helped tip the balance in Arsenal's favour at the weekend and Wenger will have no qualms about using the teenager more often now he finally shows signs of fulfilling his undoubted promise.
"He has found the injection of pace he had before and he uses his body better," Wenger said. "When you see what he brings when he came on, you are very excited."
Slavia are playing in Europe's elite club competition for the first time and they have already claimed one impressive scalp after beating Dutch team Ajax in the qualifying rounds.
But Arsenal knocked out Slavia's city rivals Sparta, the reigning Czech champions, to reach the group stage, so Karel Jarolim's team won't hold too many fears - especially with Wenger's subtle incentive at the back of their minds.

The Sony PlayStation Network is currently suffering some downtime, with all Sony Online Network services unavailable for use.
Although Sony has posted a blog post saying that it is not yet sure what has caused the outage, speculation is already rife that Anonymous is behind it.
Sony's European blog manager, James Gallagher, didn't rule out the possibility of outside interference, writing: "Our support teams are investigating the cause of the problem, including the possibility of targeted behaviour by an outside party.
"If the reported Network problems are indeed caused by such acts, we would like to once again thank our customers who have borne the brunt of the attack through interrupted service."
So, as you head off for your long weekend at half five, spare a thought for the poor Sony engineers working overtime while you enjoy the sun. | <urn:uuid:bc241132-a0c4-4118-a855-163929ad54ea> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.techradar.com/us/news/consoles/gaming/ongoing-playstation-network-outage-could-be-ddos-attack-946036 | 2013-05-19T03:08:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696383160/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092623-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972343 | 162 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Rick Pitino sat down for a brief interview with ESPN’s Andy Katz on Tuesday night. Topics of the interview include the chance the go to back-to-back Final Four’s, the health of the team, Syracuse and Pitt leaving the Big East, and the late addition of Montrezl Harrell. Here is an excerpt.
Andy Katz: What’s the toughest part of going to consecutive Final Fours, doing it with Kentucky and now trying to do the same with Louisville?
Rick Pitino: It depends on the situation of the team. When I was at Kentucky [in 1996 and '97], we were rebuilding the second year so it was a surprise. This past year at Louisville we didn’t expect to go, but now we have high expectations to go and do it. I think this time will be tougher than it was at Kentucky. At Kentucky it was totally unexpected, but this time it will be expected. It’s hard to have a Final Four that will be expected.
AK: After dealing with a rash of injuries last season, how healthy is your team heading into the summer?
RP: We’re very healthy and in a way it was a blessing last season. Chane Behanan had to fill a major role because of injuries to Rakeem Buckles and Stephen Van Treese. He was brought along quickly and he helped us. Everybody is fine. [George Mason transfer] Luke Hancock is coming off shoulder surgery and he’ll be ready by September. He’s the only one nursing an injury right now.’’
AK: What do Behanan and Gorgui Dieng have to improve upon this summer?
RP: Chane has to improve his outside shooting and if he does then the sky is the limit to what he can do. We’re working very hard on that. That’s our objective the whole summer. Gorgui will put on strength and improve his rebounding. He had a good year last year and I could see him improving his strength and rebounding. Chane probably has more to improve than Gorgui because of the year he had last season.
AK: What kind of impact will incoming freshman power forward and former Virginia Tech signee Montrezl Harrell have on the first day of practice in the fall?
RP: He won’t take a backseat to Gorgui or Chane at the 5 or the 4. He’s a killer competitor. That’s going to keep both of those guys on their toes every single day. I haven’t had a player signed this late that will have this kind of impact.
AK: What will it be like for Syracuse and Pitt during their likely last season in the Big East?
RP: I don’t think for Pittsburgh it’s a terrible thing. I can’t fathom Syracuse being anywhere else but the Big East. I wish both schools well. It wasn’t a good situation for Boston College to go to the ACC. They’ve won one ACC championship since they left for the Big East, outside of soccer. Schools like BC, Syracuse and Pitt don’t need the extra five or 10 million a year. They have an endowment. I hope Syracuse and Pitt have a better fate than BC has had. | <urn:uuid:ee338a2d-a0d2-4ee3-87f3-38e2f48ba2aa> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.thecardinalconnect.com/2012/06/21/rick-pitino-sits-down-with-andy-katz/ | 2013-05-19T03:14:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696383160/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092623-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975766 | 699 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Rabbi Label Lam
The Soundness of Silence
The sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu.... brought before Hashem an alien fire that He had not commanded them. A fire came forth from Hashem and consumed them, and they died before Hashem. Moses said to Aaron; Of this did Hashem speak saying: "I will be sanctified through those who are nearest to Me, thus I will be honored before the entire people." And Aaron was silent. (Vayikra 10:1-3)
This is what Moses said to Aaron: "Aaron my brother, your sons only died to sanctify the name of The Holy One Blessed Be He." Since Aaron knew his sons were amongst those who know The Omnipresent he was silent and he received a reward. (Talmud Zevachim )
How was Aaron able to remain still and why? It couldn't be that he was uniquely stoic and unemotional. Aaron is characterized as the one who loved and pursued peace who loved people and brought them close. He had extraordinary feelings.
A friend of mine asked me as a favor to remind people when I get a chance of an important detail in Jewish Law. I'll take that opportunity and do it now. When he was sitting Shiva for his father well meaning people crowded into his parents' house to offer condolences. He felt like sitting quietly at times but too many had the competing need to initiate conversation. The Law requires that the visitors take a cue from the mourner. If he is silent they should remain silent. If he talks they may join in. That is the sensitivity of the Hallacha- Jewish Law.
How do we know, then, that it was appropriate for Moses to address Aaron at that time? The Malbim explains that that the verb "Vayidom" -He was silent- is different from other expressions of quietude. This term means that that he interrupted his speaking and became quieted. He stopped from speaking. It is implied that Moses had interjected his point and Aaron said no more.
The Malbim posits what the content of that missing monologue was. Aaron, was no doubt in the act accepting that his past misdeeds and his
children's failures had finally come to haunt them. Moses then comforted and quieted him by telling him that they died because of their greatness and closeness to Hashem. When Aaron understood this message he was quiet.
The Malbim points out that this trait can be witnessed in many great people and explains how they are able to live with the pain of personal tragedy:
1) These great people live with an awareness of how puny, vulnerable, and limited our perspective is in comparison to The Almighty. "Be not rash with your mouth, and let your heart not be hasty to utter a word before G-d; for G-d is heaven and you are on earth. So let your words be few. (Koheles 5:1)
2) They are ever cognizant of the kindliness that is constantly visited upon them by The Creator. They feel overwhelmed with gratitude. Even a great withdrawal does not deplete the bank account of trust they have in G-d. The opposite is true. It is we who are deep in overdraft.
3) They appreciate how the force of their own deficiencies and active faults contribute to their hapless state. They accept it as a lesson and hope to improve.
Let it be understood and acknowledged that this is all addressed to head and not the heart. When the heart is hurting it is neigh impossible to speak to the head. One of my great teachers once offered the following helpful distinction that might lend some assistance to even the still swollen heart. There is a difference to be made between "an answer" and "an approach".
If someone asks, "Why this did this tragic event happen to him and now?" There may not be an immediate answer. "An answer" eliminates and cancels out the need for a question. "An approach" does not presume to explain the specific reason "why". There may be thousands of possibilities and we admittedly don't know which. We can comforted by "an approach" because it allows us to live with a question.
Aaron was busy speaking out "an approach" when his brother Moses offered him the ultimate consolation, "an answer". With the certainty of prophetic insight that this double death was charged with meaning Aaron was quieted and from that perspective we can all appreciate the soundness of silence.

What is it? This is the third generation of Toyota's Yaris supermini.
Previous versions have been practical and versatile, despite their small size, and the new Yaris builds on those qualities. It's a little longer than the old model, but is still shorter and easier to park than a Ford Fiesta.
You get plenty of technology, too. Toyota's Touch system is standard on all bar the base T2 trim, and combines audio and Bluetooth settings in one touch-screen application to reduce the number of buttons you need. Upgrade to Touch and Go, and the system incorporates sat-nav.
What's it like to drive? We've previously driven the 1.0-litre petrol Yaris, but here we're concentrating on the 1.33 petrol.
It has more power – 98bhp compared with the 1.0's 68bhp – so accelerates quicker, although you still have to give it plenty of revs. This hurts refinement, and there's a lot of wind nose at motorway speeds. Still, at least the engine settles down at a steady cruise.
The 1.33 feels pretty perky in town, too. However, it's in town that you really notice the stiffer suspension set-up of cars in sporty SR trim. Most Yaris models already suffer from an unsettled ride, and life is even harder in the SR, with bumps thudding through the cabin. On the upside, there's less body lean in corners.
Whichever suspension set-up you choose, the Yaris turns into bends pretty sharply and grips well. Just don't expect it to be as enjoyable to drive as a Fiesta because the steering is disconcertingly light and short on feel.
Toyota's Multitronic S CVT gearbox is new to the Yaris and, as in other models, its auto mode makes the car very noisy under acceleration. Switch to manual and you can keep things quieter. Shifts are pretty slick – you change gear either with the gearstick or by pulling on steering wheel-mounted paddles.
What's it like inside? There's always been oodles of space in the Yaris, and you get even more in the new one. A longer wheelbase means more legroom, and while the boot isn't huge, its 286-litre capacity is about par for the course in this class.
Sadly, the interior plastics disappoint because they look very cheap, and feel quite hard and scratchy.
Should I buy one? While the Yaris is competent on the road and pretty roomy, there's nothing that makes it outstanding. Sure it should be cheap to run – the 1.33 engine averages over 50mpg – but prices are quite high, and the Yaris isn't as fun as a Fiesta or as posh as a Volkswagen Polo.

The White House
Office of the First Lady
Remarks by the First Lady and Dr. Biden at Joining Forces Heroes at Home 1,000 Rebuild Event
New York Avenue Home Build Site
11:57 A.M. EDT
DR. BIDEN: Thank you, David, for that introduction. And thank you for your continued work on behalf of our military families and veterans. And thanks, too, to Gary for all of the great work that Rebuilding Together is doing around the country to support veterans through projects just like this one.
And most of all, I want to thank Sergeant Johnny Agbi for welcoming us to his home today, and for this incredible commitment and service to our nation.
Sergeant Agbi, I know I speak for everyone here today when I say, you are a true hero. (Applause.) You and all of your fellow veterans and service members from across the country show us every day what words like "strength" and "courage" mean. And, of course, we're also grateful to your family members for their service to our country.
Projects like today's build represent some of the incredible ways that communities are coming together to support our veterans and military families all across the United States. And these projects, and all the partners and volunteers who make them possible, embody the spirit of the Joining Forces Initiative that the First Lady and I launched earlier this year.
So thank you to everyone for being here today. And now, it's my honor and a true privilege to introduce a true advocate for all of our veterans and military families -- my friend, our wonderful First Lady, Michelle Obama. (Applause.)
MRS. OBAMA: Good morning.
AUDIENCE: Good morning.
MRS. OBAMA: How's it going?
MRS. OBAMA: It's exciting. We're honored to be here. I want to thank Gary Officer from Rebuilding Together, and David Works from Sears Holdings for their leadership and for being here today. And of course, I want to thank my partner in crime, Jill Biden. We have done a lot together on this effort. We've traveled everywhere from North Carolina to Colorado to New Hampshire for Joining Forces. But I have to say it’s good to be right here in our own backyard, just a quick commute down the street.
And no matter where we are, one of our goals with Joining Forces is really to use what we have to shine a light not only on the incredible service of America’s military families who give our nation so much, but also on those Americans -- like all of you -- who are stepping up in so many important ways to give something back to these men and women and their families.
And that’s exactly what’s happening here today with these two wonderful announcements. First, we’re marking the 1,000th home that Sears and Rebuilding Together have refitted for our wounded warriors through the Heroes at Home Project. And that is a very impressive accomplishment and you all should be just so proud -- 1,000 homes. (Applause.)
And on top of that, Sears Holdings is pledging to increase the number of military family members in its workforce by 10 percent. I mean, that’s incredible. That's exactly what we're hoping to see happen. It means that more than 30,000 troops, veterans, and military spouses will be working at Sears. And it’s only the latest commitment that the Sears team has made. They have been working with us at Joining Forces since the very beginning. And we look forward to working with them even more, but more importantly, for them to serve as an example of how America’s businesses can look out for our heroes, particularly during these tough economic times.
And all of this is just amazing. It represents the best that our country has to offer. And just think about what those kind of numbers actually mean. Just think about the lives that are changed. Think about the renewed sense of security that each family feels because mom or dad just got hired; how the wounded warrior whose life is transformed by a refurbished home. Just think about what that new front door, that broader, wider front door means -- it's no longer an obstacle; the stairway that is no longer an adversary; the building that’s no longer just a house, but it's now become a home.
And then you take all that hope and all that change and you multiply it by 1,000. That’s what's happening here today. And that's why today is so big, and that's why Jill and I wanted to be a part of this very special day.
And that’s really what Joining Forces is all about. That’s what we were hoping to accomplish. Jill and I started this initiative to help marshal all of this country’s goodwill into something concrete -- something that folks like Johnny can feel in their daily lives. And let me tell you, from just briefly spending time with Johnny and his family, he is an amazing -- amazing -- young man deserving of everything that is happening here today -- kindness of spirit, a positivity. He’s got a strange sense of humor, too. (Laughter.) That’s good. I’m getting you back for that one. (Laughter.) He had us write on the wall, sign it, and then right when we were finished he was like, "Wrong spot." (Laughter.) It's very funny.
So we are grateful to Johnny and his family for all their service and sacrifice. And so, we’re also grateful for companies like Sears, organizations like Rebuilding Together, and more importantly, the volunteers like all of you who are here today for really leading the way, because none of this could happen without volunteers. I mean, I know you have been here for many, many weeks -- Johnny said many of you had become like family. And that’s really what this is all about.
And it’s important during this time to also highlight that each of you is giving back in a way that makes sense for you. And by that I mean Rebuilding Together already knows how to refurbish homes; they’re just figuring out how to do it for veterans. Sears needs effective, committed employees, so they’re turning that need into opportunity for thousands of veterans and military family members by hiring some of the most highly skilled, dedicated individuals this country has to offer.
And as we heard, this isn’t just about doing the right thing; it’s about doing what makes the best business sense. That’s why it makes sense. And for volunteers who have the time and the talent to give -- what you all are doing is directing all of that wonderful energy toward your neighbors and your fellow citizens who have given this nation so much.
So all of this is exactly the message of Joining Forces. We’re not asking anyone to do anything extraordinary. We’re not asking people to start a brand new organization, or to raise or spend millions of dollars. We just want everyone to ask themselves one simple question -- (baby starts to cry) -- now, he’s really cute. (Laughter.) And he’s been very good.
But we have -- we’re just asking people to ask one simple question, and that is: “What can I do?” That’s really the question out there -- “What can I do?” And then we need you to get out there and actually do it. And that’s what makes today so special.
But even with all the wonderful work going on here today, we also know that we’ve got so much more work to do. Today is not the finish line, even though it’s the 1,000th home. Instead, it’s a mile marker. Jill and I are not going to stop until every American -- every single American in this country -- is joining forces with our military families. Our hope, at the very least, is that these families know how much we appreciate their service. Sometimes it’s as simple as a thank you. Sometimes it’s as simple as a basic stop by to visit, go grocery shopping, to spend some time so that these individuals and their families know that their sacrifice was not in vain.
We want every single company out there -- every single one -- to figure out how they can do something, or do more. Every single organization, we want them to step up in some way. Every school, every faith community, and every citizen -- we want everyone to do something. Not something grand, just something. Anything to show the support in a way that is worthy of the strength, courage, and sacrifice of our troops and their families.
A day like today reminds all of us just how possible that goal is. This is happening everywhere, all over the country. And we just need to lift it up so that we remind ourselves how great we are as a nation, and how, when people fall on times when they need support, there are thousands of us -- millions of us -- ready to step up and lend a hand.
So I want to thank you all. Thank you, once again. Thank you for having us here at this glorious day. Thank you for your accomplishments and for your achievements. And thank you for being a model of what we want the rest of the country to do.
So Jill and I are going to keep joining forces, and we hope that you continue to do the same, and call on others in your neighborhoods and your families and your communities to do the same as well.
Thank you all, and congratulations. (Applause.)

Bentley i-models are being used greatly by many of the finalists for the Be Inspired Awards. I thought it would be a good idea to do a refresh on Bentley i-models.
Bentley i-models are a container that can hold an entire 3D model, a revision history and where the information comes from, and can be exported to those who need to see this information or series of files. The author can embed access rights into the model, support digital signatures and take measurements or extract information from this information. It cannot be changed, but notes can be attached to it. It is a .dgn file, but it has the capability of bringing in other material such as Revit files using the previously released Revit plug-in. It honors all file formats and standards such as ISO 15926, IFCs, XML.
The i-model is not really another format, it’s another way to share information with team members or other stakeholders. Similar to a zip file, when you open it you can see its contents. It will be particularly useful for plant and process and other large-scope projects with multiple and diverse processes.
A big question is, how big is it? In comparison with a regular model file, perhaps a BIM file, the i-Model would be at a ratio of 10 to 1. | <urn:uuid:61928a62-6369-4ba8-a5df-b19bcb0189ed> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www10.aeccafe.com/blogs/aecsusan/tag/container/ | 2013-05-19T03:06:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696383160/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092623-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.94786 | 276 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
In the last post we mentioned Hosea chapter 4. Its an important passage because it mentions a specific person. It mentions Israel stumbling by day and it rebukes them. It mentions a person stumbling with their priests during the night and that is to do with the dark times.
In the passage the person that is the spokesperson for Israel is called a 'Nably'. Hebrew strongs 05012. The root word is 'Naba'. It also calls her Mother, and that is translated as 'em' translated provided by Hebrew Strongs 0517. Scholars state that another meaning is that it is about Deborah's relationship to the people.
It is clear from this text that it is her point of departure, and she comes from the tribe of Ephraim. Ephraim was a son of Joseph. However, Ephraim is also symbolic of Christianity. Although she is Jewish and lives on the land of Israel, and her children were born there as far as I am aware.
Deborah is the English translation of the Hebrew word Devorah and it means BEE.
I did meet a Devorah, a spiritual leader, when I was sent to Israel to call the gathering on his holy hill. She also joined us for the healing work at Mount Carmel and at the Sea of Galilee. However, at the holy gathering, the Sea of Galilee and afterwards, she chose to go her own way. Instead of honor what I had been sent to Israel to share.
Afterwards, she was coming to Europe and the LORD God made sure that he made it impossible for us to meet up as she would've liked. I asked her to be patient, to trust and know that there is a divine plan and to allow it to unfold. To allow the LORD God to show us all the way.
The next news was that she was launching 'Hug Jerusalem' and the LORD God roared in response. I was compelled to tell her that it was not divine providence for her to do what she was doing. Afterwards people were murdered in a school in Jerusalem. The annual hug of Jerusalem as continued ever since.
However, the fact that Hosea 4, is being brought forward now, in this year of four, will probably explain a lot, to a lot of people, that may have misunderstood me or the scripture in the past.
The Royal Queen (as mentioned in Psalm 45) was not born on the land of Israel and the Torah told them that the one would not be born there. Nobody can take the crown from those that the LORD God as ordained.
Was Moses born in Israel? No. There you have another criteria for the one. To be truly like Moses one cannot be born on the land of Israel. The legend goes, that Moses never stepped foot on the land of Israel, and I did. Exactly as the prophecies predicted that I would. | <urn:uuid:f351e6ac-332a-4585-8c9c-162559491931> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://academysounds.blogspot.com/2011/07/hosea-4-devorah.html | 2013-05-22T01:02:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986067 | 592 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Chinese iPad trademark suit seen as chance for Samsung, Lenovo to gain on AppleApple's continuing struggles over ownership of the "iPad" name in China are viewed by industry watchers as an opportunity for rivals Samsung and Lenovo to gain some ground in the massive market.
The ongoing Proview lawsuit was portrayed as a "window of opportunity" afforded to Apple's rivals in a new report from Reuters on Monday. It included comments from three analysts based out of the Far East who believe that Samsung and Lenovo are both beneficiaries from Apple's misfortune.
"Samsung will probably benefit more from Apple's ongoing lawsuit because both of them are after the same higher-end consumers, given their price points," said Dickie Chang of IDC. "The impact on Lenovo may be less because Lepads are lower priced and are aimed more at entry-level users."
While the iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab are at about the same price of 3,688 yuan, the Android-powered Lenovo Lepad is available for about half that price. In the third quarter of last year, Apple's iPad is estimated to have sold 1.3 million units in China, while Lenovo sold around 120,000 Lepads and Samsung sold about 58,000 Galaxy Tabs.
China could be pivotal in the worldwide tablet market, as the nation of 1.3 billion people now has 505 million active Internet users. China has become an increasingly important segment of Apple's business, and last October was revealed to be the company's second largest market. Officials at Apple have said they are only "scratching the surface" in China.
Though the iPad is the leading touchscreen tablet in China, industry watchers believe Samsung and Lenovo could gain some ground because of Apple's ongoing trademark dispute with Proview. The company has asked for as much as $2 billion in return for Apple's use of the "iPad" name, which Proview first used for its "Internet Personal Access Device" computer.
Proview won another small legal victory last week, when a lower Chinese court barred sales of the iPad in China's Guangdong province. But Chinese customs officials have indicated that a ban on the importation and exportation of the iPad in China would be difficult to enforce.
Though there hasn't been an official ban on the iPad in mainland China, local authorities in select areas have seized at least 45 units. A court ruling from December in Proview's favor is also currently under appeal at the High Court in Guangdong.
Proview believes that Apple's purchase of the iPad name from one of its Taiwanese affiliates was an unauthorized transaction. For its part, Apple has contended that Proview "refuses to honor" the existing agreement between the two companies.

I walk the streets of Geitawi daily. I see posters of unknown past candidates of local Makhtara elections fading to blue. The posters lasted more than they were supposed to. When I ask the people in the neighborhood about them, nobody seems to remember their names anymore. Whether the candidate won or lost, the street wall remains a wall of fame. His image might last long enough to make the face — or what is left of it — part of the public imagery that people know, but can't quite frame.
The residents of Beirut neighborhoods — among them Geitawi — keep a seat outside their shop on the sidewalks to relax and people watch or to keep a parking space for their customers and family members. Sitting outside is claiming the streets.
If the walls are for the candidates, the street is for the inhabitants. The seat is theirs. The view — of the street and its wall — is theirs.

As you read earlier this week, Ride 2 Recovery cyclists are currently participating in the “Don’t Mess with Texas Challenge,” a six-day, 350-mile ride from Brooke Army Medical Center to Dallas/Ft. Worth.
Day 2 took the cyclists from San Marcos to Austin and one participant share this account of the day: “The day started under cloudy skies and a light rain. With the forecast calling for slight headwinds, it looked like it was going to be a long day. Instead the rain stopped and with the cloudy skies and cool temps, it made for great riding weather with almost no wind.
One of the great parts of the R2R program are the general public riders that take part in the ride. These cyclist raise about $3,000 in order to take part in the ride and 2 of the more colorful riders…The 16 strong group has ridden together since we left CFI and the camaraderie has been amazing. The group has riders from Ft. Bliss and Ft. Hood that are here at R2R for the first time.”
Day 3 saw the cyclists hitting the pavement on roads leading from Austin to Fort hood. With clear weather and only a light headwind, the ride went smoothly. And best of all was the addition of the Chief of the Army, Gen. George Casey, along for the ride!
As one rider explained, “He went out with the moderate group today, which is typically the biggest group on the road. He had never ridden much with a group so it took a little getting used to. Gen Casey came to cycling after ankle surgery left him not able to run without significant pain. He had prepared himself by riding from Fort Meyer to Fort Belvoir.”
The General was able to keep up just fine and lifted the morale off all the riders. As they neared Fort Hood, Gen. Will Grimsley – the acting commanding general at Fort Hood – lead the group onto the base and hosted a community reception along with his wife Jill. Great work, everybody! Tomorrow’s route takes the group from Cleburne to their final destination: the Arlington Ranger’s Ballpark. Check out the map below and see if you can cheer them on… | <urn:uuid:5118f509-cbd7-414f-8733-f23a603f1a83> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://blog.uso.org/2010/04/10/ | 2013-05-22T01:18:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971208 | 467 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
After denying for weeks that it was violating Connecticut laws by charging a second tax on exchanges, Wal-Mart has agreed to change its practice and pay a $2,500 fine.
Wal-Mart also agreed to refund all customers who can show that when they returned an item for an even exchange they were charged a second tax.
The agreement between Wal-Mart and the state Department of Consumer Protection was made last week.
It came after state tax officials refused to look into more than a dozen complaints I had forwarded them from customers who were required to pay sales taxes when they bought an item and again when they exchanged that item for a similar one. Most of the complaints involved Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart charged the tax for people who didn't have receipts as well as some who had credit card statements proving that they had bought the item recently. The taxes were turned over to the state.
Customers wrote that this illegal policy was being followed in at least a dozen of its stores in Connecticut, a fact I verified at several stores.
Stores even had posters behind courtesy desks blaming the state for its policy.
"State law PROHIBITS Wal-Mart from refunding SALES TAX to any customer returning or exchanging merchandise without an original purchase receipt," the "tax refund laws" posters said.
However, state tax laws clearly say the opposite, state Consumer Protection Commissioner Jerry Farrell Jr. said Wednesday in an interview explaining the out-of-court settlement he reached with Wal-Mart.
State laws mandate that if a company has an exchange policy, it cannot charge a second sales tax on the new item. Wal-Mart's website clearly says it has such an exchange policy.
Besides Wal-Mart, Farrell said state Director of Trade Practices Richard E. Maloney and his unit investigated return and exchange policies at Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, Babies "R" Us, Sam's Clubs and Toys "R" Us.
As the result of the investigation, Farrell and Maloney said Babies "R" Us, Home Depot and Target are being sent letters asking the companies to improve training because they found uneven procedures in implementing state laws on taxes. None faces sanctions.
Lowe's, Sam's Clubs, Toys "R" Us and Best Buy were found to be following tax laws properly.
The issue arose when Gerald Dierman of Manchester questioned whether Home Depot was following state laws when the store charged him sales tax on his original purchase of a bag of grout and again when he returned it the next day for the same grout, but of a different color. Home Depot told him they could not give him a refund on his sales tax without a receipt.
After printing his issue, I received numerous complaints about other Home Depot stores, Wal-Mart and Babies "R" Us.
Home Depot officials conceded that their stores erred and said they would train their personnel to follow state laws consistently. They also gave gift certificates to those who were charged a second tax.
Wal-Mart, on the other hand, insisted its stores were doing nothing wrong.
"I believe I've answered your question already, but I'll gladly do it again. Walmart's policy is to satisfy the customer and follow the law. Thanks again," Wal-Mart spokeswoman Ashley Hardie wrote me Oct. 14 after I sent her additional complaints.
On Friday, Wal-Mart was singing a different tune.
"We thoroughly reviewed our practices and have taken steps to ensure that our associates are fully complying with Connecticut law when processing even exchanges," Hardie said in an e-mail. | <urn:uuid:798b8c7f-c057-4213-ace3-cb5c41e45d2c> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://blogs.courant.com/george_gombossy/2008/12/walmart-fined-fesses-up-to-cha.html | 2013-05-22T00:49:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98599 | 737 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Four people made their way to safety Wednesday afternoon after the three-story, wooden-frame home they were in caught fire in central Topeka, causing nearly $50,000 in damage in what was determined to be an accidental blaze.
Fire crews were called at 1:16 p.m. to a residence at 1244 S.W. Garfield on a report of a house fire.
Upon arrival, fire crews found flames and heavy smoke pouring out of the third floor of the house.
Fire crews spent the next hour bringing the blaze under control, using an aerial apparatus from above and multiple hoses from ground level.
As they worked on containing the fire, gray smoke continued to come out of the home, with flames firing up on several occasions.
The fire was declared under control at 2:20 p.m., and by 2:50 p.m. an investigator had gone inside and was on the second floor.
Topeka fire Investigator Alan Stahl said all occupants who were inside the house — two adults and two children — were able to get out of the structure before fire crews arrived.
There was some question at first whether anyone else remained inside, Stahl said, but everyone was accounted for after interviews with those who got outside on their own.
The flames caused an estimated $49,100 in damage, Stahl said, $44,100 of which was to the structure and $5,000 to contents.
Fire investigators classified the fire as accidental, associated with the failure of electrical circuitry. Stahl said the blaze’s origin was in an upstairs apartment in an attic space.
He said there was some concern about the condition of the structure after the fire, as a portion of the roof had collapsed.
Much of the blaze appeared to have been located in the south portion of the home’s upper level.
Two engine companies, an aerial company and a truck initially were called to the scene. Two additional engine companies later responded to the blaze.
About 2:15 p.m., as crews continued spraying water into the burning house, a cat was seen jumping out of a second-floor window onto the front-porch roof.
The cat, which was wet from water being sprayed into the home, then sprang down a tree before running north into a sewer at the northeast corner of S.W. Huntoon and Garfield.
The Shawnee County appraiser’s website values the home at $44,100. The home was built in 1920 and is owned by Charlz, Bullard and Arnold Alwyn, according to appraiser data. | <urn:uuid:cd5e6a2e-f73a-48bf-af4f-58498f97f3ba> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cjonline.com/news/2013-02-27/crews-contain-house-fire-sw-garfield-causes-nearly-50k-damage | 2013-05-22T01:16:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982363 | 533 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

I don't feel pregnant either. I don't even have sore boobs. I did have an ultrasound yesterday and saw two little babies in there with hearts beating. The nurse told me not to worry if you don't get symptoms -- she said, "you're definitely pregnant."
I guess enjoy it. The other thing is, the symptoms can come at anytime so you could still get them soon.
I felt the same way this morning. Woke up kinda early (last few days I could barely drag myself outta bed!), no nausea (last couple of days were touch and go feeling sick to my stomach).
I do have the sore boobs but not super sore, just occasional twinges. I was so worried I POAS again this morn. still two lines! lol
We should take advantage of this... it won't last long I bet! lol
I too got pregnant shortly after my boyfriend [now ex] and I started dating. It sounds like your boyfriend is supportive of the pregnancy which is a great thing, trust me! I don't "feel" pregnant either. I have been getting cramps that are similar to my period and my boobs hurt but not 24/7 and not a lot. I have to keep reminding myself that this isn't a dream and that I am really carrying a little itty baby inside.
I'm nervous too...the only thing Ive got going for me is headaches and sleeplessness. I'm not tired, when in my last successful pregnancies i was extremely exhausted. I feel like with having 3 kids, I should be more tired than I am. But maybe I'm just excited? No real nausea nor soreness, but that was never a strong symptom, except in my miscarriages - so maybe that's a good thing. Oh and I keep pulling stomach muscles, which has been a positive symptom in the past...so I dunno...maybe I'm just over-analyzing. | <urn:uuid:21ccb5f0-0813-4dc8-9bda-ae356ccf80c9> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://community.babycenter.com/post/a28208807/just_dont_feel_pregnant | 2013-05-22T01:04:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984086 | 394 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

The Dispatch story about the judgment against the county supervisors is sad in a pathetic sort of way. What does it take for them to pay what they owe? The interest (so far, $33,230.52 in prejudgment interest) is adding up and they have zero chance of taking this all the way to the state Supreme Court. Just ain't gonna happen, so why not write the checks?
This is about usual for local politicians;
Judge levels $150,000 judgment against Brooks, ex-Lowndes supervisors
At the time, supervisors ordered the company not to pay the state, maintaining they had not acted illegally, according to Brooks, sparking the civil lawsuit by USF&G in 2007.
I only wish Brooks and Co., and every local politician who misappropriates public money, were held personally liable for every cent of that money. If average people did this to their employers, they'd be doing jail time for embezzlement, theft and fraud. | <urn:uuid:1f6cc01d-62ed-4edb-b1b0-535674bbb5db> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://ctalks.net/index.php?s=7d9c77e6df5c7a142dfd9fcf884a77d5&showtopic=14165&st=0&p=142065 | 2013-05-22T01:24:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968992 | 200 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

St. Edward's University
This paper sets out to discover how access to water and sanitation has changed overtime for the residents of deserted satellite IDP camps in Lapul sub-county, Northern Uganda. Throughout the period of conflict in the region until today, residents of this region have struggled to gain adequate access to water and sanitation.
Qualitative field research was carried out over a period of eleven days, with six interviews and three focus groups held to gain information on how access to water and sanitation has changed overtime for the displaced. Methods of Rapid Rural Appraisal and Direct Observation were applied to make assessments of the camp environment. Restricted time limited the ability to produce a comprehensive report, and the communities interviewed were chosen to represent the larger population of rural displaced in Northern Uganda. Other limitations to research included the prevalence of alcoholism as a side effect of war, and the language barrier between the interviewer and the residents.
It was concluded that access to water and sanitation is currently decreasing for many of the rural displaced. Although greater access was provided in camps, overcrowding prevented IDPs from obtaining adequate amounts of water. When moved to satellite camps, international humanitarian aid provided greater access, but the boreholes put in place are now broken down and the pit latrines have filled up. Without adequate money, tools, or management to fix these systems, many are returning to collecting unprotected water sources and to using unsanitary means of human waste disposal. Coordinated efforts between the government, NGOs, Community Based Organizations, and local leaders are needed to address this growing problem.

Do you have an effective Parenting Plan?
As a separated or divorced parent, it is important for you to create a parenting plan upon which both parents can agree. A parenting plan is essential to making your child custody situation work. Parenting plans detail how parenting time is divided and other guidelines the parents must follow in order for their child to maintain continuing contact with each parent. What is it that goes into a parenting plan?
- Parenting time schedule – A parenting time schedule is a schedule that the parents follow. It defines the child’s everyday schedule and holiday and vacation schedules. It should include all information about physical custody and how it is divided between parents. To make a holiday schedule, you should make a list of all holidays your family celebrates and divide them fairly. A vacation schedule should be made similarly. The holiday and vacation schedules take precedence over the regular schedule.
- Information about providing care – Dividing your child’s care is important. This information should include which parent provides medical and dental care, your child’s educational needs and any other special needs your child may have. How care is provided for your child is important for both parents to know and provide the best care for your child.
- Information about child support and other expenses – You need to include information about all expenses and child support for your child. Information such as which parent pays child support, how much is paid and how often it is paid should be included. Expenses outside of child support should also be detailed. Expenses such as your child’s extracurricular activities, sports fees and more should be included.
- Extra rules or provisions – Provisions and other guidelines may need to be included to make your parenting plan better. Provisions such as right of first refusal, if parents can smoke or drink alcohol in front of the children, that parents cannot speak negatively about one another in front of the children and other rules should be included.
- Any additional information – You should include any extra information that is pertinent to providing care and raising your child.
As a parent, you want what is best for your child. Keep your child’s best interests in mind as you create your parenting plan and it will be much more effective. Do your best to provide exceptional care and work with the other parent to create the best life for your child. You can make the best parenting plan by working with the other parent as much as possible. | <urn:uuid:e55f436c-8228-432c-9a3d-43bc3c69f669> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://divorcemoneymatters.com/parenting-plan-basics/ | 2013-05-22T01:03:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952569 | 498 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
The treatment started out the same, with the dry brushing and seaweed
application but when all done, she closed the lid and I was in this
little bubble with steam. I got a bit cold at first and it didn't heat
up near as much as with the foil but it was very enjoyable. As I
steamed Cher gave me a little scalp massage and then left the room so I
could relax. I thought I would fall asleep like the previous day but it
just wasn't as zen-ful, as it was wrapped up in my little cocoon. When
Cher returned, she pushed a button and warm water began to shower me
off. It was very interesting, I didn't have to get up or move. Way
nicer than trying to maneuver to the shower wrapped in a tin foil mummy
costume. She opened the lid and let me cool off a bit then used another
shower to make sure all the seaweed was gone. She stepped out and I
dried off and moved to the massage table. She ended the treatment with a
nice massage with the Muscle Ease oil and off I went to dinner and a
party with the rest of my group.
Pro... the capsule was new and I loved the steam and shower in one aspect.
Cons... the hard table and slippery surface were just not comfortable or relaxing. | <urn:uuid:924a593f-9cbc-4adf-8c2c-1e6de5e2d1be> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://doranpomaskincare.com/webblog/trip-yingyang-spa-day-3.html | 2013-05-22T01:11:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986912 | 284 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Wow, it felt like an ace
Threw a back hand roller up the hill (I'm a lefty) which went pretty far up the hill to the left. Threw a rock to the other side of the hill and then threw a champion rock in from about 200 feet. I thought it was long and as I was picking up my disc I heard a solid ching. It definitely made my day to say the least. Russ, Sparrow, and Larry were there.

Been too long on the road. Is that the name of an old song, a poem, a story or just a dream? For me, it is none of the above. It is true.
After weekends in hotels on the Florida line and in Kentucky, I found myself on the road again this past weekend. On the road again. Now I know that is the name of an old song.
I left school on Friday afternoon and without even going home Pam and I headed straight to Sandersville. Straight to Sandersville? I didn't want to risk going home and sitting down only to fall off into a deep sleep and miss the big game.
The Thomson Bulldogs ran into a mighty tough bunch of Golden Hawks Friday night. Coaching, playing, prior competition nor officiating cost Thomson this game. Washington County had the better football team. They were equally as strong and physical as Thomson and at least on the line of scrimmage, I thought they were just a tad quicker.
Their deployment of a tight 5-3 defense was perfect to slow down the Bulldogs' running game. I will say that if the pass interception that Thomson returned for a touchdown in the first quarter had stood, the game likely would have been tight well into the fourth quarter. If Washington County had been forced to play from behind it may have tested their patience a bit.
By the way, I heard Coach Mark Daniel say that the video showed the call against Thomson to be legitimate. Washington County also had a touchdown called back.
I gave Pam and Ashley written directions on how to get from Sandersville to Millen so they could visit Pam's mom for the weekend. Have you ever traveled from Sandersville to Millen? You have to go through Riddleville, Bartow, Wadley and Midville to get there. Man, what a tour!
I left the game in a hurry because I told Wesley I would meet him in Madison at 10:30 so we could head toward the loveliest village on the plain, Auburn, Ala. When I got to the car I was blocked in and fought the urge not to go into a tizzy. When I finally got started it was past 9:30 and I took off through Warthen, Sparta and Siloam. That's a lonely dark road when you're traveling alone.
It was dead on 10:45 when I pulled into Madison, and, of course, Wesley was not there like I told him. That's why I told him to be there at 10 p.m. but that didn't work either. I can't imagine what would have delayed him leaving Athens on a Friday night. He said he was detained in the drive-in line at Wendys.
We pulled into a cheap hotel in Newnan sometimes past midnight. The beds were like concrete, but we weren't likely to sleep much anyway. There was plenty of hot water so that's about all I could ask for on my budget for this third straight Georgia road game. When I awoke at 5:30 Saturday morning I asked myself if I was crazy. I already knew what the answer was, so I got up, showered and donned my red and black.
We pulled into Auburn before 9 a.m. EST and Wesley immediately asked his routine question anytime we cross into Alabama, "Are we going to change our watches?"
My usual reply was, "Heck no, I'm headed back to Georgia as soon as this game is over so I'm stayin' on Georgia time." Wesley never cares what time it is but he always asks that question even though he knows what my answer will be.
When The Georgia-Auburn game started to unfold, I didn't really know what to make of it. We were there to meet the busses before the game and greet Danny Verdun-Wheeler, so I knew these were the same coaches and players that had stumbled through the season so far. Were they really thrashing the fifth ranked team in America on their home field? Yes, they were.
Wesley and I joyfully loaded up just a little damp and headed back up I-85. He quickly dozed off to sleep, and I thought he really deserved it. While I drove home, I thought about Sandersville, Riddleville, Bartow, Wadley, Midville, Millen, Warthen, Sparta, Siloam, Madison and Newnan. I'll bet those lovely little villages were full of happy Georgia Bulldog fans tonight. As for me, I was glad that I went to the trouble to go to Auburn, and I danged sure knew why was I was still crazy. | <urn:uuid:362639f6-1325-4338-8b88-f755340fc305> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://mirror.augusta.com/stories/111606/spo_104774.shtml | 2013-05-22T00:49:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.988081 | 954 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

[en] Cobalt-Mediated Radical Polymerization (CMRP) is an efficient tool for polymerizing acrylates and vinyl esters. However, a challenge in CMRP remains in controlling the polymerization of both types of monomers with the same cobalt complex. Here, we show how Co(acac)2, efficient for unconjugated vinyl monomers, can also cope with acrylates.

One of the challenges of an IT manager is to provide collaboration and document management services for employees.
Many years ago, Lotus Notes had an impressive package for document management, email and other services. However, today's advanced databases, Web applications, faster server hardware and affordable mass storage have created an even more powerful infrastructure for storing data and documents as well as information about people and other resources.
If you haven't considered document management or collaboration services for your organization lately, it's worth the time to investigate them. There is a good selection of collaboration, document management and enterprise search tools out there. Google has some products and there are open source products as well.
A simple Internet search on keywords like "collaboration software" or "document management software" yields links to a lot of other products that might meet your needs, but you might not find a suite of products as complete as Microsoft's SharePoint suite of products.
With SharePoint, Microsoft is positioning itself to provide services to other applications, such as Microsoft Exchange 2007, where SharePoint is attempting to replace Public Folders. The company has made other connections to SharePoint across its product line. Its System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 is an enterprise-class backup and recovery product that is intelligent enough to back up SharePoint databases.
Although people often think of SharePoint as a single product, it actually consists of two products: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The latter is commonly known as MOSS or SharePoint Server 2007.
SharePoint has a variety of functions for collaboration and document control via a series of Web interfaces. Figure 1 shows a simple SharePoint page offering various documents for download.
Here are some SharePoint features that might have some value in your enterprise:
My Site gives users a personal site for storing information – it's kind of like having your own personal website and storage location for documents, favorite links, calendar items and things like that as well as a public profile. It can be configured for various groups to permit collaboration by others in your organization looking for people with specific skills or interests. There are templates that help build these sites.
Community sites allow users to build sites for communities of interest, departments or other commonalities among users. They also offer document storage, links and other collaboration tools.
Collaboration features such as real-time presence, blogs, calendars, surveys and document collaboration allow document checkout, review and approval. Many of the collaboration features are improved or are new to SharePoint Server 2007, and some are not available for SharePoint Services 3.0.
Enterprise Search is not available for SharePoint Services 3.0. In SharePoint 2007, it can search and display information from a wide variety of sources, such as relational databases, Microsoft Exchange Public Folders, websites, SharePoint sites and even line-of-business applications, as well as people search capabilities.
Enterprise Content Management includes document management, Web content management and records management. In addition to organizing and managing documents for easier retrieval, IT managers can protect sensitive information and maintain process flow requirements for document creation by multiple people or groups.
Office SharePoint Server 2007 and SharePoint Services 3.0 integrate with Microsoft Office 2007 components, including Outlook, Access, Excel, PowerPoint and Word, as well as mobile devices.
Setting up a basic site is fairly straightforward, but keep in mind that you'll need to use a SQL database. There are a lot of good templates as well as a SharePoint Designer 2007 package that allows advanced customization.
If you think SharePoint is worth looking at, get yourself an evaluation copy. Here are some places to find it:
SharePoint Services are available as a Windows Component in Windows Server 2003 R2. Simply look at an R2 server in Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs – Windows Components. Just select the SharePoint Services option and install it.
Rather than using the R2 freebie, I recommend downloading SharePoint Services 3.0 because there are links for service packs and language packs, among other things. It has all the basic functionality of SharePoint but does not include the advanced search options and other enterprise features that you might want to deploy.
You can download Office SharePoint Server 2007 for evaluation at Microsoft's SharePoint home page.
In terms of licensing, SharePoint services can be installed on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition to function as front-end Web services, and the data storage component cannot be installed on Web Edition.

Heat It Up Short
Great shorts as Bikini Bottom
These are great little shorts but like others have said I would personally never wear these to Yoga! I also do not do hot yoga. I would get laughed out of my gym if I wore these to a regular class and am not comfortable showing that much skin. I will wear as a swim bottom with the matching Heat it Up Bra. As a bikini bottom they are more on the conservative side but are very cute. I am a 4 in almost everything Lulu however I sized up to a 6 in these shorts as well as the bra. Both sizes were a similar fit but the 6 was more comfortable. The base of the butt part on the 4 rode up just a little. I was almost busting out of the size 4 bra.
I like the bright colors but found that the black with the colors on the shorts looked best on me. I bought black with the pop orange accents.
I found that these fit very nicely and are flattering on me with no muffin top. I'm 115 lbs, 5'4" and a 32B.

Great but not for yoga
I knew these were not going to be flattering on my big bum and thighs, but I couldnt resist the WMTM price. That said, they will be awesome for surfing as regular bikini bottoms usually end up around my ankles - not super cute or safe! The gusset coverage is fine for that, but wearing these to any type of yoga would cause some major over-exposure.
May 16, 2013
not really shorts....
I wouldn't really say these are shorts. Even for short-shorts they are extremely skimpily itty bitty. They look more like swim bottoms (like how they are pictured). I'd recommend this for at-home practice, but I personally would not flaunt these in public since there's a bit chance of crotch exposure! They are really comfy, stretchy, and soft though!
May 11, 2013
Perfect....for the beach!
Let me just start by saying that I would NEVER wear these shorts to yoga. There is simply not enough coverage in the crotch. I'd get kicked out of class!!! That being said, they are PERFECT as bikini bottoms! I bought two pairs with the matching sports bra and it looks just like a bikini! When worn as a bikini bottom, these shorts could even be considered "modest" because they fit like boy shorts. I'm glad I saw them on sale and took a chance!
Fits tts...I'm a size 4, athletic build, 125 lbs and 5'8" and the four fits perfectly without any awkward muffin top issues.
May 10, 2013
Not enough fabric on the crotch area
This shorts fit perfectly except, there is simply just not enough fabric on the crotch area. I was extremely conscious and not being able to do full pose of STANDING SEPARATE LEG STRETCHING POSE, STANDING BOW PULLING POSE, HEAD TO KNEE POSE AND STRETCHING POSE during my Bikram practice because I knew that my crotch was showing. Besides that, this pants and top are great. It gives me a great figure and the top is very flattering. I wanted to buy a second outfit but with this "tiny" issue I guess I wont be able to. Sad to give it a 1 star since I waisted $100!
May 7, 2013
LOVE more than boogie shorts
i like how there isnt a piece in the middle to get all bunched up. they are deff a size up item but i love the colors and hope all go on sale hehe they are awesome! i think ill buy some more :D
though the string is not needed
May 6, 2013
I actually bought these as a swimsuit bottom and they are great. Comfortable with no butt ride up and no high cut hips which I hate.
They do run small though. I usually wear a 6 in lulu bottoms but I got these in an 8. Sucks that I paid full price and they are now on WMTM for half the price :(
May 2, 2013
Worst purchase I have ever made from Lulu
I ordered these online with a friend in a consolidated order. I am usually a very consistent size 6. I'm doing my 300RYT in California all year and knew portions of it were going to be done at a heated studio so wanted to add to my hot yoga wardrobe.
I was disappointed to say the least when I tried these on. They gave me an extra butt and not in a good way, not to mention muffin top. Not pretty.
No big deal except when I tried to return them in San Francisco the store manager wouldn't refund the entire purchase price because I didn't have the receipt. Instead I only got $29 back. Her rationale for this was that they didn't have any in store so she would only refund the sale value.
When I went to another Lulu store in LA to look for a different style of shorts all they had were these shorts available. I was a little irritated to find out I could have gotten a full refund there.
I literally spend thousands of dollars on Lulu every year. It's kind of sad that I coudn't get a full refund for the one item I have ever tried to return.

Great fitting shorts. Not baggy or too tight where your top chub hangs over the seams. Surprisingly flattering, appearance on hanger is deceiving. Comfortable and perfect for squatting and fast intense movements. Stays in place with no bunching in the front hip creases or riding up in back exposing excess under buttcheeks.
April 5, 2013
Hot for yoga
I LOVE these shorts. I do hot yoga and these were perfect for class. They do not ride up or fold down so you can really focus on your practice. It would be nice to have a little extra fabric in the crotch area but for a little more coverage but they were fine for me, I didn't have any wardrobe malfunctions in class. Comfy and move with you, I will be buying another pair!

As April bid adieu, and our 44th president continued to swank across the country and around the globe, it began to appear that he is not so much conducting a presidency in the conventional sense as a world tour. His travels took him to Europe, the Middle East, Mexico, and the Caribbee. Abroad, he sounded his basic theme that America had been a failed state until he, the Prophet, rose up from the 4th Aldermanic Ward of Chicago to bring Good Government to Amerika. At home, his theme is that the last three decades of unparalleled economic growth were a hallucination. He will replace the hallucination with European social democracy, using as his economic model the U.S. Postal Service or possibly an ant colony.
While traveling in Europe his rock star aura was so enravishing that when President Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife, Mme. Carla Bruni, met him at the economic summit in Strasbourg she broke with protocol. The former model and songstress chastely extended her hand to our president rather than accept his kiss, which could have left her sexually aroused, panting uncontrollably and heaving wildly, her hair mussed, mascara running, nostrils flared. She perspires! She wails! President Sarkozy is very embarrassed. His wife is swaying rhythmically under the Prophet’s gaze—all this is what ran through the agitated minds of the American press as Mme. Bruni withdrew her tender hand. In the presence of our 44th president our journalists’ imaginations—especially those of the ladies—are highly susceptible. Time magazine has put this greenhorn on its cover 14 times in a year, Newsweek 12 times, and People’s “100 Most Beautiful People” issue included seven utterly ordinary faces from “the president’s inner circle who are turning heads in D.C.” Turning heads indeed—the seven included White House chef Mr. Sam Kass, whose mouth extends from the bottom of his left ear to the bottom of his right ear, and the president’s “personal aide,” Mr. Reggie Love. Like Mr. Kass, Mr. Love is completely bald.
Yet back to the Prophet’s world tour. In the Caribbee he exchanged pleasantries with Cuba’s president Raul Castro. Our president also accepted a Spanish version of the famously anti-American tract Open Veins of Latin America from the semi-literate Venezuelan strongman President Hugo Chavez, though it is not clear that our president knew what was in the book. He cannot read Spanish and possibly thought President Chavez was giving him the Austrian version of Open Veins. After all, in Europe the Prophet had expressed his belief that the official language of Austria is Austrian. To Mr. Obama Austrian probably looks pretty much like Spanish, or maybe he thought Mr. Chavez was giving him the Venezuelan translation of the book. Our president’s teleprompter was no help, and frankly he appeared a bit out of his depth to everyone save the American press corps, whose members do not know Austrian from Venezuelan either.
Back in America, the Prophet detailed his vision of the new American economy during a speech at Georgetown University, where he incongruously invoked the Sermon on the Mount after his aides prevailed on the administrators of the country’s first Catholic university to conceal the religious symbols behind his speaking area. The Prophet asked no more of Catholic Georgetown than he asked of himself. In his speech he never mentioned the author of the Sermon on the Mount, the late Nazarene whose views on several of the Ten Commandments have fallen into disfavor among the Prophet Obama’s supporters, particularly those in the transsexual community. In Stretford, England, footballers from Chorlton Villa beat International Manchester 6 to 4, though one of the winning team’s players was penalized for distracting a penalty kicker by expelling gas.
In Switzerland the crime wave continues, with Swiss police utterly flummoxed in their effort to thwart twin brothers who continue to accumulate hundreds of parking tickets with impunity. The brothers, Harold and Michael Lengen, ages 38 and 38 respectively, park their car, a late-model vehicle in which they have joint ownership, in unauthorized parking spots, collect a ticket, and then either Michael, aged 38, or Harold, aged 38, appears in court and insists that on the day that the ticket was issued the other brother, aged 38, was behind the wheel. Swiss authorities are stumped. By the end of the month there was still no resolution of that dreadful row caused by the BBC’s Miss Clare Balding when she joked about the dental ruins in the mouth of Mr. Liam Treadwell, the 23-year-old jockey who had just won the Grand National. While interviewing Mr. Treadwell on live TV, Miss Balding said, “Give us a big grin to the camera.” After Mr. Treadwell offered only a tight-lipped smile, the BBC interviewer importuned, “No, no—let us see your teeth.” When the wretch assented, she joked, “He hasn’t got the best teeth in the world but you can afford to go and get them done now if you like.” Ha, ha, ha—well, Miss Balding, you have an embarrassing last name! And let us see your hairpiece, you jackanapes!
In celebrity news, Mr. Phil Spector was convicted of second-degree murder. Mr. Spector is the legendary rock music producer who invented for 1960s rock groups the “Wall of Sound” after spending years listening to the sound of latrines flushing in public comfort stations. He could spend as many as 18 years in prison without his wig. There is no word as to the deposition of his navel lint collection. That auction of more than 1,000 items from the home of Mr. Michael Jackson was called off on April 15, possibly owing to public health concerns, and death claimed the life of Mr. Randy Cain, a founding member of the Delfonics, a word that has no known meaning in any modern language but might have been used by Cro-Magnon man back in the Paleolithic Era, a period that is apparently the beau ideal for Americans of the Green persuasion. Mr. Cain was 63 at the time of his death, 10 years short of the average life expectancy for an American male, but not bad for a Delfonic. Finally, as we go to press there is still no word as to the cause of the death of former porn star and Ivory Snow detergent girl Miss Marilyn Chambers. She was found defunct at her Canyon Country, California, mobile home. Miss Chambers was 56, precisely 21 years short of the average life expectancy for an American female. It is tough to be a celebrity in Amerika.
The Obama administration moved vigorously on the international front, following up on North Korea’s unethical launch of a missile. The Pentagon will cut $1.4 billion from the Obama missile defense budget, and if that does not put an end to North Korea’s provocations the Prophet will cut another billion. Further, the president declared an arms-control campaign to reduce atomic weaponry globally. Yet even after that show of good faith the administration is faced with global threats. In Nottinghamshire, an English businessman, Mr. Joe Weston-Webb, has set up a 30-footlong catapult rigged to fire sacks of chicken feces in all directions. Originally Mr. Weston-Webb devised the catapult in the mid-1970s to launch his wife, Mary, across the nearby River Avon. Repeated efforts failed, however, and in fact Mary still lives with him and has devised less arduous ways to cross the river. The catapult is based on an earlier Roman design. So the Obama administration could have difficulty negotiating with Mr. Weston-Webb. Few members of the administration speak Latin, or rather, Roman.
A man of faith in a godless age is hitting Americans where it hurts.
Mr. and Mrs. American Spectator Reader, let P.J. O’Rourke talk sense to your kids.
In Britain, defending your property can get you life.
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
It won’t take long for conservatives to scratch this presidential wannabe off their 2008 scorecard.
The American Christmas, like the songs that celebrate it, makes room for everybody under the rainbow. Is that why so many people seem to be hostile to it?

We had the CBC on in our house this morning, and for the bit I saw on the events in Libya, the CBC spent the entire segment discussing the anti-Mohammed movie which was believed to have precipitated the latest Islamic attacks against the US.
Twelve hours later the media are now reporting that these attacks were premeditated and planned, with the movie providing a mere pretext. For me, the fact that the bombing of the consulate was followed by a rocket attack on the ambassador's car -- information available this morning -- was "the first clue".
Looks like the CBC has served as a propaganda tool for the Islamists. The Islamists laid the bait, and the left-wing media fell for it -- as did Obama White House, which issued a balanced statement denouncing the movie and the murderous attack in equal measure. And, the CBC stepped in it.
And that's the way the Ball bounces. | <urn:uuid:d0359cb5-857b-4a51-9ab0-53a170872124> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://thewaytheballbounces.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-latest-blunder-by-cbc.html | 2013-05-22T01:23:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980573 | 184 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

“ The Sound ”
Music video round-up: Girls Aloud, Little Mix, Bruno Mars
Girls Aloud: 'Something New'
They're back and looking better than ever. Questionable orange leather dresses aside, Girls Aloud's comeback clip is full of sassy pouting and lots of strutting - and we wouldn't want it any other way.
Bruno Mars: 'Locked Out of Heaven'
Not content with echoing The Police with his new single, Bruno continues his exploration of all things vintage with a simple, but effective VHS-filtered visual.
Nicki Minaj ft. Cassie: 'The Boys'
It's loud, it's cartoonish and it's very very pink. Nicki's videos seem to get wilder and more outlandish by the clip, and her latest outing with Cassie is no different.
Rudimental ft. John Newman & Alex Clare: 'Not Giving In'
Set in Manila, the Hackney collective's latest video tells the tale of two brothers who channel their efforts into two very different underground activites.
Little Mix: 'DNA'

Discovery Center At Deep Creek Lake Hosting 8th Annual Ramp Cook-Off
Annapolis, Md. - The Discovery Center at Deep Creek Lake will be hosting its 8th Annual Ramp Cook Off and Tasting on Saturday, April 25th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., a celebration of Garrett County’s rich folk heritage. Ramp gathering, preserving and eating has long been an eagerly awaited sign of spring in Appalachia.
Ramps are flavorful wild onions high in healthy vitamins and minerals and distinguished by its strong garlic and onion odor. They have the cholesterol-reducing capacity of garlic and folk medicine maintains that ramps keep away colds and flu.
Judging will take place at 11 a.m. and tasting by the public will begin by 12 p.m. A panel of two judges will determine the winner based on creativity, ramp flavor and presentation. There will be interpretive events on site, tasting, live music and fun for the whole family.
Pre-registration for the event is required no later than April 22. Electricity will be available if needed. For more details or to enter a dish, contact the Discovery Center at 301-387-7067.

KEVIN DRUM worries that the high cost of college tuition is driven by the very large value of lifetime earnings gains derived from a college degree. He agrees with Kevin Carey that federal tuition subsidies and easy loans are part of what's driving up the price of a college education, but he thinks the real story is "more depressing": As long as we keep giving people whatever student loans they need to attend college, and absent any regulatory price controls, colleges will hike tuition to the very limit of what it's worth in higher wages.
[I]t's not just that universities are steadily making up for distortions caused by federal aid. The fact is that we've never been in a situation where universities were charging a market price in the first place. After all, if the lifetime wage premium for a college grad is a million dollars over 40 years, then how much is four years of college worth today? Answer: about $300,000 or so. That's $75,000 per year...
For many decades, universities acted as though they had a public, charitable mission. That was especially true for state universities, but it was true for most private universities too. That's largely changed. In the public sphere, taxpayers have noticed that (a) it's mostly well-off kids who go to college these days, not children of the poor bettering themselves, and (b) this education is worth a helluva lot of money. So why should they be asked to subsidize a route to higher earnings for kids who, for the most part, already have a lot of advantages? The cost of college loans seems more and more like a simple financial transaction to them, not a crushing burden being placed on struggling youngsters.
In the private sector, I'd guess that universities are simply coming to grips with the fact that they can charge a lot more than they ever imagined. They're testing the boundaries of their market price, and they haven't found it yet. Until they do, tuition costs will continue to skyrocket.
Mr Drum doesn't put this forward as a definitive figure. But the basic point seems valid, and I think there's one more consideration we need to mention: This seems like a particularly clear case where the market value of a good is much lower than its social value. One way to express this point is that the social value of each student's college degree is $1m. That's the earnings they'll add to the entire economy if they get a college degree. But without subsidies, the market value will be much lower, because most people can't afford to spend $300,000 on a college education, and will be reluctant to borrow that much even if banks are willing to loan it to them. Because the market value will be lower than the social value, the goods will be under-provided. Scrap government subsidies, and you may keep college tuitions down. But you'll be accomplishing that by ensuring that a whole lot of potential students decide not to go to college, which will ultimately mean poorer Americans and lower GDP.
Another way to think about this would be to ask what high-school tuition would cost if we didn't guarantee a free high-school education to every child, and instead funded it the way we do college education, by loaning people the money to pay for it. Assume the social value of a high-school degree is just the difference in lifetime earnings between a high-school graduate and a drop-out. According to Princeton's Cecilia Rouse, that was about $260,000 as of 2005. (In fact this greatly understates the earnings difference: it's just the difference between lifetime earnings for drop-outs and those with only a high-school degree. Since you need to finish high school in order to go on to college, we should really be factoring in some part of the eventual earnings difference for those with college degrees or higher. But I don't have those stats and it would be hard to decide what fraction of those earnings to include, so let's leave it at $260,000 and recognise that we're low-balling it.)
So how much is $260,000 in lifetime earnings worth today? I'm not sure how Mr Drum got his $300,000 figure, but I assume it's a future value calculation of what sum you'd have to invest to get $1m at some reasonable rate of return over 40 years. Which means he's estimating a real return of about 3% per year. Assuming a high-school grad or drop-out works perhaps five more years than a college grad over the course of their lifetime, what would you have to invest to end up with about $260,000 after 45 years at a return of 3% per year? If I'm doing my math right (1/ert * 260,000), it's about $67,500. So we're talking four years of high-school tuition at almost $17,000 a year. And, again, this is probably significantly low-balling the real value of that degree.
How many American parents can pay $17,000 a year per kid for their kids to go to high school? Say this math overestimates the present value of the degree, and the actual figure is only $10,000. How many parents could afford to pay that? How many can borrow that much on the private market? How many would be willing to, if they could? What percentage of American kids would graduate from high school if they or their parents had to pay the full future value of their education up front? Currently 70% of Americans graduate from high school; imagine that percentage dropped to even 50%. And here's the money question: How much poorer would America be, how much lower would our GDP be, if only 50% of Americans graduated from high school? I think this is the way we need to think about the value of government subsidies for, and/or cost controls on, and/or provision of low-cost Skype-enhanced alternatives to universal college education. | <urn:uuid:512b3287-0052-4bd2-99ae-691cf682372f> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2012/01/college-tuition | 2013-05-22T00:58:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981344 | 1,229 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Bar Exams for Teachers Don’t Go Far Enough

Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers has recently proposed the creation of a bar exam for teachers with the intention of elevating the quality of the teaching profession. As a licensed teacher and lawyer who has passed the bar, this is an interesting idea worth exploring. However, there are many factors that should be considered before fully supporting this concept. For one, we need to go beyond just the rigor of the actual exam and make admission to teacher preparation programs more competitive.
The reason bar exams work for the legal profession and boards work for the medical profession is because the candidate has already gone through a vetting process when applying to the professional school. If the teaching profession is going to move to include a bar exam, then this same intense process should be required of an applicant to get into teacher preparation programs. Theoretically, this should already be happening, but research tells us otherwise.
According to a report from the U.S. Department of Education, “studies of teachers’ academic qualifications reveal that college graduates with the lowest college entrance examination (i.e., SAT or ACT) scores are more inclined to become K–12 teachers than those with the highest scores (NCES 2001–030).” We need to reverse this trend.
In addition, just because a lawyer passes the bar exam does not mean that he or she is immediately prepared to walk into a courtroom and practice law. However, there were lessons buried in those long hours of studying that helped prepare them for the challenges ahead. So, although a bar exam for teachers may not automatically make them better teachers, it should help to elevate the requirements for admission into teacher preparation programs.
I would propose that this so called bar exam be initially treated more like the LSAT for law school, or the MCAT for medical school. Let’s be honest, we need to start by raising the bar for those seeking to enter a teacher preparation program in the first place. | <urn:uuid:f201de62-2076-4f12-bd7c-3679de1224dd> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.freeenterprise.com/education-workforce/bar-exams-teachers-don-t-go-far-enough | 2013-05-22T00:56:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961411 | 456 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Legal protection and how to complain
As a lesbian, gay or bisexual person you are protected from discrimination under the Equality Act 2010. This page explains your rights and how you can make a complaint if you feel you have been treated badly.
From October 2010 the Equality Act makes it unlawful to treat people unfairly because of their sexual orientation when receiving healthcare. These legal protections were first introduced in 2007.
Previously, gay people often had to put up with being turned away or treated unfairly by service providers simply because of their sexual orientation. Our campaign to secure legal protections in this area was motivated by widespread evidence of discrimination across both the private and public sectors.
The Equality Act outlaws discrimination in a range of important areas, including healthcare. For example, GPs can no longer turn you way for being gay - some did in the past - or refuse lesbian and gay people treatments they would offer to anyone else.
If you feel that you have been treated unfairly or discriminated against because of your sexual orientation when seeing your doctor or accessing healthcare services, then you will need to go through the NHS complaints procedure, or through the independent healthcare complaints service. This is detailed below, along with some further organisations you could contact to help you with your complaint.
The first stage of the NHS complaints procedure is called Local Resolution. This is where you have to make your complaint to the practitioner or clinic where you were treated. You can do this in person or in writing. Local Resolution aims to resolve complaints as quickly as possible. The Department of Health says you should receive a reply from a primary care practitioner within 10 working days or from the Chief Executive of the NHS organisation you are complaining about within 25 days. You should be informed if this deadline will not be met.
Some NHS Foundation Trusts have different complaints procedures to the one outlined above. You may need to contact them directly before making a complaint to find out their procedure.
The second stage of the complaints procedure comes if you are unhappy with the response you receive. You should then contact the Health Service Ombudsman. The Ombudsman is a completely independent body.
The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
Telephone: 0845 015 4033
Stonewall has found evidence of doctors discriminating against patients because of their sexual orientation which can mean people do not receive the support they might need. Stonewall works closely with bodies such as the General Medical Council to ensure that such discrimination is not tolerated. Doctors should treat you as an individual; respecting your dignity and privacy. If they do not, then they are breaching GMC guidelines and the protections afforded under the Equality Act.
This guide outlines how people can complain if they feel they have been discriminated against by their doctor because of their sexual orientation, and what the principles of good practice for doctors are regarding sexual orientation.
Private Healthcare Complaints
If you have been discriminated against when accessing private healthcare, you can make a complaint through the Independent Healthcare Advisory Service. See www.independenthealthcare.org.uk
for more information.
Stonewall Information Service
Stonewall runs a free info service for individuals, organisations, and employers.
Our freephone Info Line on 08000 50 20 20 is open Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 5.30pm.
ICAS- Independent Complaints Advocacy Service
They can advise you about your complaint and about the NHS complaints procedure. You can find details of your local ICAS service at www.doh.gov.uk.
The General Medical Council
You can make a complaint to the GMC about your doctor, and they can investigate into a doctor's fitness to practice. They have guidelines on doctors' obligations to uphold patient confidentiality on their website.

Bath & Body Works Pays Employee $70,000 to Settle Sexual Orientation Harassment Case
ELK GROVE, CA — The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) today announced the $70,000 settlement of a workplace sexual orientation harassment case against Limited Brands Store Operations, Inc., and Bath & Body Works, LLC. A manager of a Bath & Body Works was accused of harassing her co-manager because of his sexual orientation.
The DFEH filed an accusation with the Fair Employment and Housing Commission after investigating a complaint from the co-manager, who began working at Bath & Body Works in August 2007. The complainant claimed that from his first day on the job, his female supervisor referred to him multiple times a day using slurs based on his sexual orientation, drew pictures of male genitals, which she hung in the store’s back room, told his co-workers that he liked kissing boys, and falsely claimed that his attitude was affecting the work environment. The Department’s accusation further alleged that, although another store manager witnessed the harassment and the employee complained to the district manager, Bath & Body Works failed to stop the harassment, ultimately forcing the complainant to quit.
“The Department of Fair Employment and Housing takes great pride in leading the enforcement of California’s civil rights laws,” said DFEH Director Phyllis Cheng. “This compelling case should remind employers that they must have policies in place to prohibit discrimination and harassment against employees—and employ managers who can enforce those policies.”
As part of the $70,000 settlement, Bath & Body Works, LLC agreed to provide discrimination and harassment prevention training to its supervisors and managers, provide training to all new hires within 60 business days of hire, display posters informing employees of their right to report discrimination to the DFEH, and retain copies of all complaints of discrimination and harassment made by employees alleging a violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act. Bath & Body Works did not admit to any liability in the agreement to settle. | <urn:uuid:30ad8e4b-6f3d-4055-9ad5-a31b75117a52> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.hrthatworksblog.com/2011/08/03/bath-body-works-pays-employee-70000-to-settle-sexual-orientation-harassment-case/ | 2013-05-22T01:02:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961793 | 418 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
The U.S. International Trade Commission on Friday upheld a May 21 ruling by Judge Thomas Pender of that agency that neither Apple nor RIM had violated Kodak’s rights in the so-called ’218 patent, which covers how digital cameras preview images.
“The investigation is thus terminated,” the agency said.
Kodak has been hoping to recover $1 billion, and said on Sunday it plans an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C.
“The validity of the ’218 patent has been upheld in previous litigation at the ITC and was affirmed by the U.S. Patent and Trade Office in the face of two separate challenges,” it said. “We are confident that its validity will ultimately be upheld.”
Kodak filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from creditors on January 19. Patent litigation has in recent years been a major part of the Rochester, New York-based company’s strategy to generate revenue.
Apple’s products include the iPhone, while RIM makes the BlackBerry.
Last month, Kodak won bankruptcy court permission to sell more than 1,100 digital imaging patents, roughly one-tenth of its patent portfolio, to help repay creditors as it shifts its business focus toward printing.
These patents are part of Kodak’s digital-capture portfolio for devices such as digital cameras, smartphones and tablets. That portfolio has generated more than $3 billion in revenue since 2001.
Kodak has said it expects to hold the auction early next month.
Shares of Kodak closed Friday at 26 cents on the Pink Sheets.
The ITC case is In re: Certain Mobile Telephones and Wireless Communication Devices Featuring Digital Cameras, and Components Thereof, U.S. International Trade Commission, No. 337-TA-703.

24 found dead, at least seven children, after Oklahoma tornado.
We may not know all the facts (like newspapers & the internet are reliable sources of truth)but clearly where there is smoke there is fire. How could a person that takes on being responsible for the life of others daily forget and take advantage both sexually and medically those that entrusted him. It's one thing to grope and overprescribe and totally another to betray a persons trust...that's the lowest. There has only been a few courageous souls to come forward just imagine all those in hiding that for their own personal reasons will not come forward. I suppose those will be the ones that will simply suffer in silence.?.?

The fight over a proposed 1,500-bed immigration detention center continued Thursday night, fueled by a feud between two cities.
Council members from the town of Southwest Ranches, where the prison would be built, have said construction is all but a done deal.
Commissioners from neighboring Pembroke Pines have expressed concern, voting Wednesday to hire an attorney to see if the city has any legal options to stop it.
On Thursday evening, a service agreement between the two cities was officially cancelled.
Ending the agreement gets Pembroke Pines out of a promise not to fight the prison. It also means Southwest Ranches will close access to SW 199th, 202nd, and 205th Avenues.
The closures will affect people in both cities, whether they want the prison or not. | <urn:uuid:8814fc02-8199-43b0-84f8-6e5430338135> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.local10.com/news/Neighbors-in-Southwest-Ranches-protest-proposed-prison/-/1717324/6600234/-/bfwcqz/-/index.html | 2013-05-22T00:57:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965416 | 166 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

>Learned the new thing today.
few days ago our DBA team encountered yet another flashback issue.
You have to have nologging on some db tables.
You recover your database.
You truncate those nologging tables which are staging/temporary tables anyway.
And then you get
ORA-1578: ORACLE data block corrupted
Then you find that metalink note "Cannot Reuse a Corrupt Block in Flashback Mode, ORA-1578 [ID 729433.1]" claims this is fixed in 11.1 but 10g are all affected.
That one was a good point to demonstrate what good comes out of using new features recklessly.

I am the owner of Macnab Design since 1981 (I worked for typesetting and printing houses pre-computers beginning at age 16 in Albuquerque and Austin, and then for ad agencies until starting my own firm in Albuquerque), I have taught design theory since 1997 at the University of New Mexico, and more recently became contributing faculty for Santa Fe University of Art and Design, Santa Fe Community College, and the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I’m also the author of Design by Nature (New Riders, 2011) and Decoding Design (F+W, 2008), and past president of the Communication Artists of New Mexico (1997-9).
Most Notable Achievement:
I've had some really spectacular and unexpected things happen in my career. It's really difficult to choose just one that is particularly notable, so I'll go with my top five in chronological order:
- Being recognized with the national ADDY Award from the American Advertising Federation for top logo in the United States (1983)
- Being the first published designer from New Mexico in Communication Arts Magazine (1983), and then again in 1985 Speaking to an audience of nearly 3,000 people at the HOW Conference in Boston, MA (2008)
- Being able to share my ideas on design, nature and symbolism with students and my reading audience via my two books (2008 and 2011)
- Doing what I love with passion and without struggle (now)
I've brought my father up in my books and shared his work in my first one, Decoding Design (F+W, 2008). Not only was he a brilliant architect and excellent artist, he was kind, a bit kooky, and passionate about nature. He loved animals, camping, and science fiction. He created a game called "Jikkawm" when he had severe asthma as a child and was kept home from school (late 1920s-early '30s). Jikkawm is an emergent game about alternate world economies, war, and different cultures (some had blue hair and yellow eyes!). He continued to develop Jikkawm throughout his life to play with friends and family—I had my own country at age 7...you can imagine how far that might reach into later adult life! I consider him my primary mentor and feel extremely lucky to hold a primary caretaker in that regard. He taught me to recognize and appreciate the path less taken, to always stand for what I believed in, and advised me to always "take care of number one." In a culture of "me, me, me!" this might sound self serving, but in this context, he meant I should listen to my heart first and foremost, to do what I knew to be right for me, and to have courage to persevere when it pushed me to the edge of my personal precipice. This is the only way to contribute who you really are to the rest of the world.
An example of this is my recognizing that ad agency culture was not a fit for me early on. Rather than try to contort myself into the corporate mold, I went out on my own as a freelance designer and risked failing miserably. I've continued to climb up instead of fall off that edge by setting my own benchmarks and achieving them. Had I not had this sort of support and unusual exposure in my most formative years, I don't know that I would have ever have followed such a non-traditional path or learned to create a life solely out of my love for it. This is why I teach. We are fueled from our inner passion, and I try to share that with my students. I am extremely grateful to be able to do what I love. Thank you, Daddy, for being the best father and giving the best advice ever. | <urn:uuid:6eec09e0-e5ec-4727-841e-cae879380453> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1920367 | 2013-05-22T01:02:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973461 | 770 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Feb. 25, 1998 ITHACA, N.Y. -- Workers in poorly ventilated offices are twice as likely to report the symptoms of sick building syndrome (SBS) as are employees in a well-ventilated environment, a new Cornell University study finds.
The researchers say they find no link, however, between SBS complaints and almost three dozen potential irritants studied, or between the syndrome and age, education, gender, general stress, positive or negative feelings or a variety of other psychological factors. They did find mild links to a variety of physical workplace problems, including sensitivity to odors, feelings of being overworked, migraines, allergies and, surprisingly, musculoskeletal problems, which indicates that ergonomic factors play a role in the syndrome.
"These results strongly suggest that symptom reports are not primarily psychological in origin, which some researchers have suggested," says ergonomist Alan Hedge, director of the Human Factors Laboratory in Cornell's College of Human Ecology and co-author of the report. "Both the workers with very few symptoms and those with more intense symptoms show a clear pattern of increased problems by the end of the day, suggesting that something is making the workers who are more sensitive feel sick," says Hedge. "They are not simply grumblers -- though nothing we've looked at so far seems to be the sole culprit."
The study is among the first to find that a relatively small buildup of carbon dioxide from human respiration -- an indicator of poor ventilation -- is related to SBS. It is also the first study to compare employees in similar work environments with no or few symptoms with those with many symptoms by asking them to keep a daily diary for one week.
Hedge and research associate William Erickson first tested four, multistory state office buildings in Trenton, N.J., hourly, for two to three consecutive days, measuring nearly 36 potential worker irritants, including light levels, temperature, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, relative humidity, dust mass, carpet dust, dust mite allergens, suspended particulate counts, nicotine and formaldehyde.
They then collected 1,508 questionnaires from workers in the buildings concerning their perceptions of ambient conditions, job stresses, work-related SBS symptoms as well as personal information.
No one irritant was linked to a particular symptom, even though workers in the study showed a clear pattern of feeling worse by the end of each day. But Hedge and Erickson found that the odds of workers reporting specific SBS symptoms were substantially higher when the carbon dioxide levels were above 650 parts per million.
"This suggests that SBS symptoms may be associated with building ventilation performance," Hedge says.
Hedge has been studying SBS for more than 10 years. In 1993 he reported that in a study of 1,324 workers from nine buildings, SBS symptoms were linked to the amount of man-made mineral fibers in settled office dust and not to tobacco smoke. In 1996 he reported that the brighter the office lights, the more often workers reported problems related to lethargy, tiredness and headaches.
In this latter study, SBS seemed to be linked to such nonenvironmental variables as heavy computer use, gender (women report more problems), job stress, lower job satisfaction and advancing age. Several of these findings, however, were not supported by the latest study.
The new study, "Sick Building Syndrome and Office Ergonomics: A Targeted Work Environment Analysis", was funded by the Center for Indoor Air Research, Linthicum, Md.

Cowboys And Aliens - review
19 August 2011
Think we can guess the way this pitch conference went. Alien v Predator? Already been done.
Vampires v Werewolves? One of those most weeks.
How about Nazis v Dinosaurs then? No? Zombies v the Mafia? Maybe, maybe. Snakes versus that lot from Sex and the City? Dream on. I know - Cowboys v Aliens? Hey hey! And here, with a subtle change of the versus to a more comprehensive ampersand, is that very film, living up to its billing handsomely.
Once these B-movies were so badly made you could see the plasticine and the matchsticks that had gone into the special effects. Not any more. Now the special effects deliver as never before. Scaly aliens look if anything slightly more solid and plausible than many human mummers. Some film-goers find this new facility adds nothing to their enjoyment and preferred it when the effects were a bit crap. But that's just nostalgia gone wrong.
The technology delivers. Whatever can be dreamed can now be realised.
The problem is that these possibilities reveal all the more clearly that very few designers can imagine monsters with any originality. Aliens are, in fact, now highly conventional, far too many of them deriving from HR Giger's brilliant creation for the original Alien, plus a tinge of the original Predator that Arnie did for so conclusively. The lizardy things in Cowboys & Aliens are clearly descended from an unholy marriage between those top critters, with a few enhancements, like an unfolding chest from which nasty hands emerge. Never mind. They serve their purpose, which is to be an enemy to humankind that we can be unashamedly glad to see violently dispatched by the cowboys, since they have no redeeming characteristics whatsoever. Once this role could be taken by Red Indians. Not so much any more. In this film, the cowboys and Native Americans, after initial difficulties, come together to make common cause against their joint enemy. So that's all right and proper.
If you like Daniel Craig, 43, as many discriminating people do, you're in for a treat here. He's our hero, Jake Lonergan - super tough, a man of almost as few words as Clint in his heyday and armed with even more muscle and leather. It's 1875, New Mexico Territory. Jake wakes up in the desert, not remembering anything about who he is or why he is there, with a nasty injury in his side and clamped onto his wrist a heavy, oddly shaped bracelet or shackle.
What he hasn't forgotten, it soon emerges when a posse of ne'er-do-wells ride up and try to take him down, is how to whack his enemies swiftly and pitilessly.
Jake rides into town and straight into trouble with the local big guy, Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford, 69, still a formidable presence but hardly a supple mover these days, more an obvious martyr to lower back pain) and his tosser son, Percy (Paul Dano, the nerdy preacher in There Will Be Blood).
But, just as they're getting to it, the aliens roar in from the sky and start carrying off the townsfolk back to their base, to experiment on them and discover their weaknesses, as we later learn.
Jake's odd bracelet reveals itself to be one of the aliens's own ray-guns - and he's a sharpshooter. The chase is on, and Jake finds himself zealously accompanied on the trail by mystery woman Ella (Olivia Wilde, 27, whose beauty is quite otherworldly, even if you didn't see her in the Tron reboot).
Cowboys & Aliens is played straight, the only laughs being inadvertent, from some of the clunkier lines ("Is it demons?" a baffled hick asks. "Sure does fit the description," the preacher tells him). The director, Jon Favreau (Iron Man, Iron Man 2), packs in the action and none of the killer components of classic westerns has been omitted - the boy who proves himself, the soft-hearted saloonkeeper who finds his courage when he needs it, the Native American adopted son who demonstrates his loyalty, the cute dog ... yes, even a cute dog.
If you can swallow the shameless set-up, it's all highly entertaining. Odd, though, that the producers (led, inevitably, by Steven Spielberg) didn't remember that the core audience for movies such as this is fanboys in their teens or early twenties - and that being presented with a hero in his forties won't engage them, therefore. In fact, he might as well have come from another planet himself.

Logitech, the consumer technology manufacturer, has announced a new, colourful cordless laser mouse range, the V450 Nano.
Aimed at MacBook and notebook PC users, the gadgets utilise 2.4GHz technology and require just two AA batteries and a free USB port to work.
Looks-wise, the V450 Nano is similar to its bigger brethren, the V450. As you can guess by the name, it’s a tad smaller but still includes a scrolling wheel, rubber side grips and Tilt Wheel Plus Zoom.
The V450's advanced laser sensor is said to improve tracking and precision on whatever surface you use it on. Except water of course, as that would be silly.
Pick a colour
The V450 Nano comes in a variety of colours, including red, silver and black. Those who are desperate to get their hands on one now will have to import from the US at a price of $49.99 (£25). For the more patient of you, the Nano will be released in Europe this coming July. | <urn:uuid:6af80b1c-f210-4e83-aa23-1b723ccdb8e5> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.techradar.com/news/peripherals/computing-components/computing/logitech-launches-new-wireless-mouse-range-370689 | 2013-05-22T00:57:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.937007 | 214 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

on 18 June 1965. During the operation, Capt Davis, MSgt Waugh, SSgt.
Morgan, SP4 Brown, and five PF platoons were pinned down by an estimated
reinforced VC Company. Although the VC had superior forces and the tactical

West Pittston residents Carmen and Sandra Maffei said their late son, George P. Maffei II, a 1979 graduate of King's, loved performing on the theater's stage so much. By donating to the program they hope other parents and students will be able to achieve that same sense of love and joy that they and their son did.
As part of the donation, the total of which was not disclosed by the school, an endowment also has been established in George's name to provide a student scholarship annually to a student interested in participating in theatre productions. The first recipient of the scholarship will be named this fall.
As a student, George was happiest when he was participating in a theater production, his parents said in a joint statement released by the college. The passion, joy and satisfaction that he derived was obvious.
Both of us feel, and at times George agreed, that he was sorry he had not pursued theater as his vocation. We are extremely happy and proud that other students will have the opportunity to experience the same passion and joy from the theater that George cherished.
Maffei graduated from King's with a bachelor's degree in English. In his junior and senior years he participated in six productions between September 1977 and April 1979.
He acted in plays by Aristophanes, Anton Chekov, Shakespeare and William Inge. He also portrayed the huntsman in a Children's Theatre Production of Cinderella sponsored by the Women's Junior League.
His director in most of those shows was J. Gerald Godwin.
Godwin's daughter Sheileen Corbett is now the chairwoman of the school's theater department.
She lauded the gift and said there were no scholarships for theater students before this even though the theater has long been an integral part of the school.
The Rev. John Ryan, president of King's College, said, The theatre attracts students from a wide range of academic majors and their experiences have proven to be a treasured part of their liberal arts education at King's. George Maffei II is a true example of how the theater program at King's enhances students' experiences and remains a fond memory long after graduation.
We are indeed grateful to Carmen and Sandra Maffei for their generous gift, which will memorialize their son's love of his theater experience at King's and help support the continuation of the program for the benefit of current and future students, he added.
Maffei relocated to Florida in 1985 and began his own law practice specializing in entertainment law. He died in an automobile accident in Pompano Beach, Fla., in September 2008. | <urn:uuid:49a1a8f5-c708-4198-aba1-30b24b6a13ad> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.timesleader.com/stories/Love-of-theater-lives-on,231739 | 2013-05-22T01:06:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982163 | 575 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Delivery (which was free) was bang on time - the carrier gives you a one-hour window so you don't need to wait in all day.
The guitar was securely packaged and beautifully set up.
I e-mailed a question regarding the strings (I didn't want to ruin the setup by replacing the strings with the wrong gauge) and got a reply within a couple of hours.
If I can talk the wife into letting me have another guitar (it would be number 9 :) ) I'll definitely get it from guitarguitar.

Welcome, Friday. Even if you are a very gloomy Friday, indeed. While the fact that it’s the end of the week is good enough for me, I hope it’s better weather in your neck of the woods. Not that you can’t enjoy Cocktail Friday from the comfort of your living room, rather than the sunniness of your deck or patio. After all, Dateline is on tonight (don’t laugh at me; I really am excited for Dateline).
Since it’s peach season, I figured a peach drink was in order. And what better drink than a margarita? I concocted this drink by myself after realizing that every single peach margarita I could find called for peach schnapps. I just can’t get behind peach schnapps. I mean, a) if I’m using fresh peaches, why on Earth would I want artificial peach flavor in my drink? Doesn’t that kind of defeat the purpose of it being peach season? And b) peach schnapps reminds me of college. It’s really not meant to be drunk on its own. I realize that. But it makes me cringe to think about it. I settled for a little triple sec and honey as a form of sweetener and off we went.
Frozen Peach Margaritas (makes 3-4 margaritas):
Print this recipe!
• 3 peaches peeled and sliced
• 2 T fresh lime juice
• 1 C tequila
• 1/2 C triple sec (orange cointreau)
• 3 T honey
• 3 C ice
Peel and cut your peaches into manageable pieces. If you want, you can stick the peaches in the freezer before you make your drink, but it’s not totally necessary.
Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until your desired consistency is reached.
Pour into glasses that have been sitting in your freezer. You can salt the rim if you want, but I just garnished with a piece of fresh mint.
I honestly don’t think this drink could have been a prettier color. Or had a smoother consistency.
It wasn’t overly sweet and tasted perfectly fresh. While you could, of course, make this drink with frozen peaches, you know there’s really nothing like fresh. And I’m telling you, your grocery store probably has about 20 varieties of peaches right now. Mine does. Go get them.
I also have a mint plant that’s growing at a ridiculously crazy rate. But seriously, it’s kind of awesome. I needed mint and could have either spent $2.50 on a small pack of it or $2.00 on a beautiful mint plant that keeps growing and growing. I’m no fool.
Margaritas are generally better in the sun.
With your loved ones!!
Not only are we watching Dateline tonight (duh), but we’re also hoping to get some wedding related-stuff done. The reason I haven’t been sharing much is because, well, we haven’t done much. Hopefully our wedding website will be done within the next couple weeks…. and we’re well on our way to having our save the dates confirmed. Our wedding isn’t for 11+ months, but we want to get them out early since we have so many out of town guests. We’re going to be sifting through the loads and loads of Boston-area photographers this evening. How does one even choose a photographer?! Well, I do know we’ll be using Snapknot to aid us in our search. Check it out if you’re looking for a wedding photographer too… I know one of the founders And if you know of any amazing Boston photographers, please send them in my direction!
In the meantime, I’m sitting with my Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides, and billions of wedding websites
What are you up to this weekend? And more importantly, what will you be sipping on? | <urn:uuid:ee946c31-40df-464d-b767-f9080a184649> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.wearenotmartha.com/2011/06/frozen-peach-margarita/ | 2013-05-22T01:24:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941418 | 862 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Silverstone tried compact HTPC cases with as much storage space for disk drives, graphics cards and cooling systems combined. The results are the two black Grandia GD07 case and DG08, which also include E-ATX motherboards can.
The classic design of a tower housing seems increasingly losing ground. What to use in the office still seems functional enough, is integrated into home theater chains or in the living room barely fits. For these purposes, more and even more the case manufacturer at your own HTPC cases on offer. Its compact dimensions make the same time but also the biggest disadvantage dar. Plenty of room for drives and excessive cooling is not available. Silverstone is now trying with the new Grandia GD07 HTPC enclosures and DG08 to create a balance.
Both cases are very similar and even allow the installation of E-ATX motherboards and of course, ATX and Micro ATX boards to. The GD07 has four 5.25-inch, five 3.5-inch and two 2.5-inch drive bays. The DG08 uses again with two 5.25-inch and three 3.5-inch drive bays, one more on it. A total of four 120-millimeter fan can block itself (two side, two on the housing floor). At the rear, two 80-millimeter fan can be mounted. The DG08 also offers the option at the bottom of an additional 120-mm fan to use. Dust filters prevent dust components.
On the front side are two USB 3.0, and provides an audio and microphone port. Graphics card with up to 34.5 centimeters in length to fit into the housing to fit need to be purely sometimes a dual-GPU graphics card. A power supply should not be deeper than 22 centimeters, a CPU cooler again, not higher than 13.8 centimeters. The proportions in both cases amount to 440 x 175 x 435 mm (width x height x depth). The curb weight is 7 pounds.
For more information on the HTPC enclosures Grandia GD07 and DG08 of Silverstone, visit the manufacturer website. Both are available now, according to Silverstone, yet at the PCGH price comparison, however, listed. The retail price is 113.00 € (GD07) and € 118.50 (DG08). | <urn:uuid:ca06521b-6c34-42b2-8ba6-7e0e5eed83d9> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.whitegadget.com/pc-technical-support/151217-silverstone-launches-new-grandia-gd07-htpc-case-dg08.html | 2013-05-22T01:23:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.932896 | 478 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin/Visionaire
Lady Gaga graces the cover of Visionaire's LARGER THAN LIFE issue, and while posing for fashion magazines is nothing new, this is the largest magazine ever produced, so it's definitely a big deal for the Grammy winner!
The front and back cover are approximately 5 feet by 7 feet, and these photos of Gaga dressed as an oily mermaid were shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. "There is no oil too thick as to destroy the imagination," Gaga told the mag.
Gaga also tweeted, "My 8 ft V Mag Cover! #Don'tPolluteTheDream," and she noted that her latest single 'Marry The Night' was added to radio today. "Thank you to all the stations who added it!" she tweeted. "It's my favorite on the album!"

Love the app and its a great time spender but why is the size bigger than it says. Market says almost 2 mb but app on sd says 6.61. Lots confusion
Carighan - 2011-10-09
Not bad at all. it's AI is weak but then, all go-AIs are, due to the complexity. Very enjoyable for what it does.
Stephan - 2011-08-29
The app doesn't save games correctly. While the final position can be seen, the move order is lost. For me, this renders an otherwise well-made app absolutely useless.

The computer has no sense of some of the situations found in real life games such as dual life. Its useless if it doesn't know all situations/ rules

Decent UI and opponent for 9x9 games. Less predictable the the AI in the "go free" app (which is a good thing).
Stephan - 2010-12-30
Very good app. Easy to misplaced your stones, bit the double-tap feature makes that flaw easy to overlook. Highly recommend this.
Dinojesus - 2011-08-25
Great app! It's the only Go/Baduk/Igo app I use. There IS a problem however... It seems there's a bug where, on very rare occasions, the AI will do something strange like place its stone where your last stone used to be! I've only noticed this twice so far, and pressing "Undo" then redoing my last turn fixed the problem. Possibly the only thing this app is missing is support for tsumego, joseki libraries, and reviewing saved games.
Tom - 2011-03-11
Best free go app. It does have an undo feature despite many saying it doesn't. Good ai. Shame the zoom isn't multouch an update to this would be great
