ATHENS - Smokers now have a place - other than the sidewalk, that is - to stub out their cigarettes downtown.
Athens-Clarke County installed about 40 new receptacles on parking meters and lampposts in downtown Athens on Thursday to try to keep smokers from rubbing out more than 6,000 cigarettes a day on the pavement. The butts are an eyesore, clog up storm drains and often get washed into the river, county spokesman Jeff Montgomery said.
"It's a litter and a pollution issue at the same time," Montgomery said.
The lime-green boxes were designed by Athens Design Development, a six-member local artists' collective.
"We wanted to stick with something flowery, a pattern or color scheme that was not about smoke, but more about nature," said ADD member Michael Lachowski, a photographer and graphic designer.
Representatives of several county departments and nonprofits began meeting in 2006 to come up with ways to address concerns that the indoor smoking ban Athens-Clarke commissioners passed in 2005 would force late-night bargoers, and their cigarette butts, onto the streets, Montgomery said. They asked ADD to design the receptacles after the group won an Athens Arts Council contest to design bus shelters last year, Lachowski said.
Most commercially available receptacles were unattractive, hard to empty and easy to kick over or vandalize, officials judged, so they worked with the artists to come up with a design that would be both better-looking and function, he said. Two Athens businesses, Dye Sheet Metal and Classic Powder Coaters, custom-fabricated the receptacles.
"The idea was to do something visually appealing that would add to the cityscape rather than just be an ugly canister," Lachowski said.
While some might not consider a typical gravel-filled ashtray a work of art, ADD is so proud of its receptacles that it's staging an exhibit at the Lyndon House Arts Center beginning Saturday. The group is also marketing the boxes - called "clears" (for CLR or Cigarette Litter Receptacles) - to businesses and other governments, Lachowski said.
"The hope is that they work, people will use them and they'll function well," he said.
After not cleaning the streets for a day, county workers counted all the cigarette butts along three downtown streets Aug. 17 and found 6,207 strewn across the sidewalks and gutters. Workers will count again to see if people are using the receptacles, Montgomery said.

I wasn't there so I can't comment as if it was an absolute but there is a lot to support the contention. 'Least James helped put Gordon away. Rumor has it there was lots of bad blood between the two anyways. As far as " half ass stomped " IMHO and is reasonably assumed the Feds brass ring was Gordon. Can't blame them one bit for that. Another sworn " officer of the court " Offill class type of attorney, or so it seems eh'. But my contention here is if you sleep with dogs you wake up with fleas. Reskin obviously gave the Feds the hammer they needed otherwise there would not have been a plea deal and he'd still have his license and would not be employeed in the capacity he is now at what I assume would be somewhat less lucrative. Well either way he gets to spend Christmas with his family and that's a good thing. Won't get into it now due to the hour but I do think our Gov. has some liability in this mess also. This and hundreds of others of a like nature. Not per'se the DOJ but congress and the top people in the SEC. Frank/Hobbs might help things a little but it still doesn't address the root flaw in the system. Hope we communicate again and sorry Josh isn't home for the Holidays. You and yours have the best Holidays you can either way.

Big 12 rankings: Shaky KU still clings to No. 1 slot
Published 6:59 pm, Monday, March 11, 2013

The Big 12 might be the most balanced conference from top to bottom in the nation.
Kansas won a share of the conference championship and legitimately could have lost four or five more conference games. The Jayhawks lost their regular-season finale by 25 points and still are the choice as the conference's best team.
Here's how the Big 12 is sized up heading into the tournament this week in Kansas City.

Originally from the San Francisco bay area in California, American composer and multimedia artist Cole D. Ingraham holds a B.M. in Music Composition from the University of the Pacific, an M.F.A. in Electronic Music and Recording Media from Mills College, and a D.M.A. in Music Composition from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Currently Cole is living in Shanghai, China teaching music composition, theory, technology, and flute at FaceArt Institute of Music. He is an active performer, improviser, creative programmer, both as a soloist and a collaborator. His aesthetic involves experimentalism, noise, drone, programming as performance, and all things abstract.
Recently Ingraham has collaborated with German pianist, improviser, and composer Stefan Schultze. The two first met during Schultze's residency at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music in March 2014. After receiving an extremely positive reception from a performance at FaceArt Institute of Music, the two decided to continue to perform as a duo in the future. Since then, they have toured across Germany: performing in Berlin, Weimar, Cologne, Magdeburg, Einbeck, Hannover, and Leipzig, as well as Asia: Shanghai, Suzhou, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong. The duo's unique style mixes prepared piano, flute, live electronics, and visuals in a variety of aesthetics including experimental textures, contemporary jazz, purely improvised and through composed works.
Since 2008 Ingraham has performed around the world as part of the international network laptop quartet Glitch Lich. As a group they have developed a large amount of software to allow them to perform their unique brand of audio/visual art in real time, with our members distributed across the US, UK, and China. The quartet has been very active internationally with notable performances including the 2010 SuperCollider Symposium in Berlin Germany, the 2011 and 2013 Network Music Festivals in Birmingham UK, the 2012 International Computer Music Conference in Ljublana Slovenia, New Interfaces for Musical Expression in Seoul, Korea in 2013, and the first ever Algoraves in Tokyo, Japan in 2014.
In May 2013 Ingraham invited over forty international electronic musicians to Boulder, Colorado as the organizer of the International SuperCollider Symposium. The conference was a week long exhibition of performances, lectures, and installation art by men and women from South America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States. Having had wonderful experiences performing at previous symposia, it had been a dream of his to host the event himself someday. Through the great generosity of the University of Colorado and various local businesses with their support and use of their spaces, the conference was able to showcase an amazing array of works and expose the Boulder community to a wide variety of styles and aesthetics they may otherwise never experience. The symposium not only featured artists from around the world but also showcased a wide variety of genres, styles, and approaches. Performances spanned the gamut from extremely contemplative multichannel soundscapes to algorithmic dance music, while lecture topics ranged from approaches, to coding, to augmented instruments, to uses in research, and much more.
One of his primary focuses for the past five years has been tuning systems other than the current standard in Western music. With a particular interest in just intonation (the harmonic relationship between frequencies found in nature) Ingraham's music employs many "notes between the notes" in a very sonorous manner. These tunings however are impossible to achieve on many standard instruments with fixed intonation. Therefore he primarily works with instruments with some pitch flexibility. In addition to existing instruments, Ingraham has build a number of original instruments. These include the Pentachord: a 1.5m, bowed instrument with 5 piano strings, and the Overtone Bonang: a percussion instrument consisting of a series of tuned aluminum disks.
Beyond the realm of acoustic instruments, he regularly writes software instruments and systems to realize his musical ideas. These range from stand-alone programs, to custom synthesized instruments and effects, to novel analogue and/or digital interfaces for controlling the software. Particularly of note is a custom app for the iPad called Un:Limit. This is a multitouch interface with a variable number of "virtual strings" and visual guides to aid in locating various tunings. The app also responds to the amount of surface area the performer's finger is covering, adding an extra level of expression control. Un:Limit has been used in a number of performances of works written both specifically for it and those originally for other instruments.
Creative coding, programming as a means of creating art, is a central part of Ingraham's work. This is not only true for his live coding performances, but for all aspects of his creative output. This stems from the idea that code is the most direct way to interact with the computer itself (Ingraham's instrument of choice). This allows a great deal of flexibility and creativity not always present with pre-made software. Because of this, most of his creative work is created entirely from code, with minimal reliance on commercial software.

WASHINGTON -- About 1,500 soldiers are heading to the U.S. Navy base in Cuba to prepare for the arrival of al-Qaida and Taliban prisoners. The biggest prize -- Osama bin Laden -- remains uncaptured, though there's a growing belief he's gone to Pakistan, two U.S. senators said Sunday.
About 1,000 troops -- many of them military police -- from bases all over the United States have received orders to go to the Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where the prisoners will be held under maximum security, Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesperson, said Sunday. Another 500 U.S. troops will go to the base in the coming weeks.
''This is our part and we are going down to take care of business,'' said Col. Terry Carrico, commander of the 89th Military Police Brigade at Fort Hood, Texas, just before boarding a plane to Cuba to prepare for the troops' arrival.
Some of the troops are being sent to transport the prisoners from Asia to the island, officials said.
Others will quickly prepare a section of the base to hold an initial first group of fewer than 100 prisoners, though up to 2,000 prisoners eventually may be housed there, Davis said. Gen. Tommy Franks, the head of the military campaign in Afghanistan, said Friday that some prisoners are to arrive at Guantanamo within 10 days.
The U.S. Navy base at Guan-tanamo predates the communist revolution on the island nation. It is well-defended and would offer few avenues of escape for prisoners. Fidel Castro's government says the base should have been closed and returned to Cuban control decades ago.
More than 300 suspected Taliban or al-Qaida members were in U.S. custody this weekend, military officials have said. Soldiers were guarding 275 prisoners at the base in Kandahar, 21 at Bagram air base north of Kabul, and one in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif. Another nine prisoners, including American Taliban John Walker Lindh, are being held on the USS Bataan in the Arabian Sea. Afghan and Pakistani authorities are holding thousands more prisoners captured during the fighting.
But the top targets, al-Qaida terrorist chief Osama bin Laden and Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, continue to elude the coalition hunt.
Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., who is traveling with other senators in the region, said Sunday that Uzbekistan's military intelligence service believes bin Laden has crossed the border into Pakistan. Uzbekistan, like Pakistan, borders Afghanistan and has been a U.S. ally in the fight against the Taliban and al-Qaida.
''I fully expect the Pakistanis will do everything they can to help us locate bin Laden,'' Edwards told ''Fox News Sunday.''
Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., said bin Laden and other top officials have probably escaped Afghanistan, but no one is certain.
''Increasingly as our efforts to get them in Afghanistan have been futile, there is a greater sense that they have, in fact, escaped, and are probably in one of those tribal territories just over the border into Pakistan,'' Graham said from Miami on ABC's ''This Week.''
Top military officials have said they don't know where bin Laden and Mullah Mohammed Omar, the Taliban's supreme leader, are.
Bin Laden was thought to be in the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan, but he has not turned up in searches by U.S. and anti-Taliban forces there. Omar was most recently thought to be near Bagram, northwest of Kandahar, but Afghan officials now say they believe he escaped.
In Cuba, the prisoners will be held in ''maximum security'' conditions, the Pentagon said, and will be treated in accordance with international standards for military prisoners and have access to Red Cross and other non-governmental organization personnel.
The military is planning tight security in light of the rioting by al-Qaida prisoners at Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan, that left hundreds dead, including CIA officer Johnny ''Mike'' Spann, Davis said.
''We are cognizant of the incident that took place in Mazar-e-Sharif,'' he said. ''Many of these people have demonstrated their determination to kill others, kill themselves or escape.''
No decision has been made whether to hold military tribunals for some of the prisoners at the Navy base, he said.
Many of the troops will be Army military police from Fort Hood.
Military personnel are also being sent from Fort Campbell, Ky., Camp Lejeune, N.C., and Norfolk Naval Station, Va., among other bases, Davis said. The prison operation will be commanded by Marine Brig. Gen. Michael R. Lehnert from Camp Lejeune.

Fox Searchlight tweaks its urban efforts
EXCLUSIVE: Much as Lionsgate makes the urban-comedy business look easy (with the help of one Tyler Perry), the reality is it's actually pretty difficult.
The latest company to learn the lesson, and prove the point, is Fox Searchlight. The specialty division is -- at least for the moment, according to sources -- pulling back from its foray into black-themed films after a pair of middling results. Most notably, the company has decided to put into turnaround "Baggage Claim," a story of a thirtysomething flight attendant's search for Mr. Right that was to star Taraji P. Henson.
"Baggage Claim" was based on the novel from, had the imprimatur of, and was to be written and directed by one David E. Talbert, known as the original Tyler Perry (like Perry -- in fact, before Perry -- he worked the so-called Chitlin' Circuit of black-oriented theaters in the South, and also wrote and directed the 2008 film hit "First Sunday"). "Baggage Claim" was thought to hold plenty of promise, with a built-in fan base among a core black audience as well a compelling premise that could cross over to a wider audience.
But sources say that a series of underperformers has given Searchlight pause. Most recently, the company's Queen Latifah vehicle "Just Wright" and Forest Whitaker marital comedy "Our Family Wedding" drew only sparse audiences, each grossing only about $20 million at the domestic box office this spring. So Zola Mashariki, the Searchlight executive who had specialized in films in that vein, will now shift her orientation to other types of projects, according to sources.
Fox Searchlight executives acknowledged the difficulties but contested the notion that it had made any kind of strategic shift. "I think there's no question the market is more challenging," Searchlight co-president Steve Gilula said in an interview. "That being said, we've had great success with a number of movies in this category. There's no fundamental strategic shift and we're not walking away from black-oriented films."
Gilula said that the company has always had "an ebb and flow" of movies in the category and in fact was in the process of closing deals for several new projects. He noted that "Baggage Claim" was being put in turnaround "for practical reasons" -- namely, producers were interested in shooting this summer and Searchlight already had a number of films in production. And he said that Mashariki has always held responsibilities that went beyond urban films.
One observer we spoke to pointed out that, while the urban market remains under-served by conventional Hollywood, it's not an audience that's easily captured, especially since, as the conventional wisdom has it, black audiences also come out to see many big-budget Hollywood tentpoles. Searchlight has indeed had success with black-themed films, with such films as "The Secret Life of Bees," which earned about $40 million on an estimated budget of about $10 million.
But other Searchlight films in in the general category, including "Notorious" ($37 million, on an estimated production budget of more than half that) and the Chris Rock remake "I Think I Love My Wife" ($13 million domestic), performed middlingly. And without international box office to carry the slack (urban movies are generally seen as poor travelers) it can be hard for executives to make the case for black-oriented movies.
Of course, the urban market hasn't been that huge a focus for Searchlight. The company has several more prominent niches, particularly in the realm of upscale drama (upcoming movies include Alexander Payne's "The Descendants," the Carey Mulligan vehicle "Never Let You Go" and Danny Boyle's mountain-climbing "127 Hours"), upscale comedies (Miguel Arteta's "Cedar Rapids") and upscale genre hybrids (Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan").It also wouldn't be the only one to make a subtle shift. Even Screen Gems, which hasn't done badly in the category recently (even with tepidly received movies like "Death at a Funeral") seems to be concentrating its non-genre efforts elsewhere, with love stories like "Love Don't Let Me Down" and the Las Vegas-set "Burlesque."
Lionsgate continues to be the dominant player in the category -- in the last 15 months, the studio had three movies that have grossed at least $50 million domestically. Of course, all three films have a certain creator at the controls -- Tyler Perry. Without him, it can be a tough course to navigate.

i don't want to get into an extended online discussion about it, and i already stated that i didn't fight very well that day, but here's one example of what i am talking about:
anytime you are using circular attacks to counter-hit at the same time you are evading, that's crane. (unfortunately instead of evading in a circular motion, i tended to fade straight back, making the technique ineffective.)
if you don't get what i'm talking about, go to the next nyc throwdown or the vegas mega throwdown, and i'd be happy to explain it to you in person."Face punches are an essential character building part of a martial art. You don't truly love your children unless you allow them to get punched in the face." - chi-conspiricy

KDD 2016 Plenary Panel
The history of deep learning goes back more than five decades but in the marketplace of ideas its perceived value went through booms and busts. We are no doubt at an all time high: in the last couple of years we witnessed extraordinary advances in vision, speech recognition, game playing, translation, and so on, all powered by deep networks. At the same time companies such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft are making huge bets on deep learning research and infrastructure, ML competitions are dominated by deep learning approaches, open source deep learning software is proliferating, and the popular press both cheerleads the progress and raises the dark specter of unintended consequences. So is deep learning the answer to everything? According to Douglas Adams's famous "Hitchhiker's Guide to the…

Is poetry given little regard today because of the trend toward materialisim in contemporary society?

Poetry does seem to get ignored amongst the digital chatter today on social networks with everyone, or most everyone, being "plugged in" to devices for the fast-food like consumption of updates, tweets, chat, and digital games and entertainment. As society swirls around us in a cacophony of sounds and images lasting no longer than a second or two before the next edit takes you somewhere else, there seems to be no time to digest thoughtfully written and insightful literature that needs to be read and reread to absorb its riches. This includes beautiful poetry of the traditional and contemporary kind, but also short stories as well.
We certainly do live in a materialistic society that has contributed to the decline of thoughtful, prolonged, contemplative reading sessions. Reading a book of poems demands the attention of the reader, who is willing to devote some quiet time with a good book in a quiet room. This would mean seeing the value in such reading that stimulates one's imagination and precipitates some analysis of what is being read. The best poems get better with age and give more of themselves to the reader upon multiple readings over time.
A poem like "The Hollow Men" by T.S. Eliot never waxes old and unimportant; it is a poem that is always relevant. There are many poems and stories of this type that are ignored by people today because of their desire for " quick, flashy entertainment" not "deeper enlightenment" that demands some critical "thinking" on their part. In fact, as we bow to the altar of materialism, we in fact are on route ourselves to becoming hollow men and women.

Opinion: A Comment on the Hampton Review
A review of the impact of regulatory enforcement approaches upon businesses in the UK was recently undertaken by Philip Hampton at the request of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. This review aimed to identify the ways that the administrative burden of regulations on businesses could be reduced, whilst maintaining or improving regulatory outcomes.1 The resulting document, entitled 'Reducing Administrative Burdens: effective inspection and enforcement' was published in March 2005, and its recommendations have all been adopted by the Chancellor. This review follows on from the work of the Better Regulation Task Force (BRTF) which was established in 1997. The Task Force aimed to promote better (and more consistent) regulation and enforcement by UK government agencies, and developed five principles to guide regulations and their enforcement: transparency, consistency, proportionality, targeting and accountability.2 In 1998 the Cabinet Office published the Enforcement Concordat, setting out what businesses and others should expect from enforcement officers and this has been agreed by both central and local government. The Concordat reinforces the risk-based approach to inspection previously recommended by the Cabinet Office.3 This means that higher risk activities should attract more enforcement attention.

Myth: Startup success is all about the idea
Startup myth: Startup success is all about the idea
Startup myth: Startup success is all about the idea
With a $700 billion bailout planned by the government, I go looking for sources where we can find the money to pay for this.
Russell Beatie has a fascinating picture showing his wide array of devices recharging, which triggered in me something that has been disturbing me for a long time: why is it that every mobile device out there seems to have a different power plug? There is no competitive advantage in offering a different charger and yet it seems that every vendor has come up with a different approach when it comes to the charging port. As a result, scores of users have to pack multiple chargers when they travel. Just off the top of my head, a typical user would generally pack different chargers for each of the following devices: laptop, mobile phone, camera, mp3 player, and PDA. Granted, a way to solve the problem is to aggregate devices (for example, as I do with the Treo, use a smart device that includes many of those functions) so you have to carry fewer chargers but ultimately, there's always more than one and few people around with a charger that is compatible. There is, however, a competitive advantage for vendors in establishing a standard. That advantage goes to the age old issue of price. If two players agreed to a similar set…
Brighthand reports about a new piece of software that allows to make calls using a Pocket PC and a Wi-Fi card. This is an interesting development that could turn Wi-Fi into a very disruptive technology for the mobile phone industry and may explain why companies like T-mobile are placing bets on the phenomenon, covering themselves in case other revenues (from regular mobile phones) were to evaporate. At $30/month, Wi-Fi service can currently be seen as an expensive toy for the mobile worker. But if you consider the possibility to make phone calls for the same price, the price seems low. Compared to most cellular phone programs that offer a few hundred or thousand minutes every month for roughly the same price, the idea of unmetered service could represent a huge growth opportunity for anyone offering a hotspot. However, the issue will then become one of available bandwidth. As more and more hotspots are added, the pervasiveness of Wi-Fi makes the possibility to bypass the phone network more real. The next step in that evolution would be for the Wi-Fi protocol to include some kind of mechanism to check the strength of signal. If you think of the cellular phone system,…

Thanks Mel. I guess we'll just have to wait until Sep to make reservations then. Makes me feel...sooo...unprepared or something. Oh well.
This forum is very useful btw. I'll definitely be lurking around (every now and then) until I have something worthy to share. :-)

Singer Parle hopes for Christmas number one
Wicklow singer songwriter is hoping for a Christmas Number one this holiday season in memory of school teacher Alice Strain.
'Back in October of this year I met the Transition Year Girls from Clonmel Presentation Secondary School for an IMRO songwriting and production workshop for Big Music Week. The workshop lasted four hours, in which Gavin Ralston and myself wrote and recorded a song with the girls titled 'My Hero'.
'The girls chose to write their song about their late teacher Miss Alice Strain who had tragically died in a car accident some months previous.
'Alice was engaged to Pat and they were to be married this year. It was so obvious the girls adored Alice and Alice adored the girls.
'The song has been released on iTunes for Christmas with all proceeds going to the St Vincent De Paul.
In its first week of release the song topped the iTunes chart at No. 1 and went straight to No. 7 in the official Irish Charts.
Paddy Power has the girls tipped at 6/1 for the Christmas No. 1 right behind the X factor winner but in its third week of release up against major competition that's going to be extremely difficult. However, it would be amazing if the girls finished up in the top 10 for the Christmas chart. If you would like to donate to the St Vincent De Paul and help the girls just log onto: https://itunes.apple.com/ie/album/my-hero-rte-big-music-week/id757654920.

Bassist/songwriter/vocalist Stephen Bruner, aka Thundercat, has music deeply rooted within. His father, Ronald Bruner, Sr., is an internationally renowned jazz drummer who played with the Temptations, Diana Ross, Gary Bartz and Gladys Knight. His brother Ronald Bruner, Jr., a Grammy-winning drummer, has played with the likes of Roy Hargrove, Stanley Clarke, and Wayne Shorter. Stephen joined his brother as a member of West Coast punk vets Suicidal Tendencies, playing bass on their worldwide tours while still in high school. He also toured through Japan with Stanley Clarke at the age of 16.
As Thundercat, Bruner takes his jazz roots and works with a mix of artists that suit his wildly experimental sensibilities – ranging from Flying Lotus, Erykah Badu, and Stanley Clarke, as well as more recent collaborations with Wiz Khalifa and Earl Sweatshirt, to name but a few. After meeting and touring with Flying Lotus, the two artists collaborated on Lotus' 2010 LP 'Cosmogramma' on the track 'MmmHmm.' Their kindred sense of musicality led to Thundercat's 2011 solo debut 'The Golden Age of Apocalypse,' co-produced by Flying Lotus, which opened Bruner up to a new stratosphere of songwriting and artistic exploration.
In 2013, Thundercat teamed up with executive producer Flying Lotus once again, to form a profound body of work for his second album, 'Apocalypse.' Forthcoming on Lotus' Brainfeeder imprint this July, the album straddles lines and pushes genres further, blurring the confines of pop, funk, electronica and prog rock, and creating something else entirely. Both vulnerable and fearless, a comedy and tragedy, 'Apocalypse' is an intimate portrait of an artist who will continue to take music to a new place; the beyond.
Following a string of celebrated releases leaning on everything from kitschy euro sounds to dub disco and psychedelic house, Todd Terje made his mark within dance music circuits. Gems such as the cheese anthem "Eurodans" and the latin disco fuelled edit of Jacko's "Can't Help it" under his Tangoterje edit-moniker instantly made industry types and clubbers alike go bananas, and made him to everybodys darling from Gilles Peterson to Pete Tong.
Training to become a pianist Terje enrolled at a local music school, but to his disappointment there wasn't much jazz being taught there. Gradually leaving the musical career path, he later moved on to study physics at the University of Oslo. Although not longer aspiring to become a pianist, he was by no means over music.
Growing up in the rural village of Mjøndalen, dance music influences were scarce, and no, there was never any "diskoklubb" there. Not a lot of obscure disco or acid house in his milk either. However, during the early/mid nineties dance culture sneaked it way into even the most remote parts of Norway, thanks to the popularity of acts like the
Prodigy and national radio stations filling prime time slots with underground jocks Olle Abstract and Pål "Strangefruit" Nyhus from Mungolian Jetset. On the more personal level, Terje's sister was a close friend of the late Tore "Erot" Kroknes,who was famous for his releases on Telle records and his production for his girlfriend Annie on the classic disco pop single "The Greatest Hit". The tapes his sister brought home from Erot to the young Terje became a major source of inspiration for him. Playing around in his early teens on a crap PC together with his mate Dølle Jølle, Terje made his first attempts on house and jungle(!), which they played from cassette tapes on junior high school-dances(!!). Maybe too young for old music back then, Terje reckoned that disco was all a bit silly – until Bjørn Torske's (one of the early pioneers of the Norwegian disco scene, that became so popular afterwards) "Sexy Disco" caught his ears in 1999 and inflamed his love for the disco sound. Little by little he got sucked into the world of dusty record shops and cheesy disco.
In 2001 Terje got in touch with Prins Thomas, who was at the time working at HS Records in Oslo. Thomas soon recognized his potential, and helped pushing Terje in the right directions. Oslo is a small place where like minded folks tend to join forces, so it didn't take long before Terje also was introduced to Hans-Peter Lindstrøm.
This mighty trinity of disco vikings from now on worked on their very own vision of balearic disco to spread over the world, which produced so many epigons and clones, but was almost never reached.
Inspired of the former UK generation of disco heads such as Idjut Boys, Black Cock etc, Terje soon began to make is own re-edits of old disco records to make them more suitable for his dancers. But instead of just adding a bass drum and remove some vocals, he injected musicality and playfulness for a more personal twist. Cheesy pop artists such as The Bee Gee's, Michael Jackson, Chris Rea, Wham, Paul Simon, America or Chic didn´t turn him off, as "there´s nothing wrong with grandiose pop if there´s an equal amount of dub to it", edit rule number one. This untraditional approach made him the King Midas of edits and he reinvented the whole edit genre almost all by himself.
Inspired by doing edits Terje soon moved on to his own productions which led to two higly acclaimed singles on Prins Thomas´ Full Pupp label: Mjondalen Diskoklubb and Eurodans. After a while remix requests started coming in. Terje transfused the concept of his edits onto his remixes and created a totally new sound cosmos for every track. In most cases they didn´t have much to do with the original tracks, only few fragments from the original were necessary to slice and juice up with his own ingredients, usually resulting in sure shot dancefloor material. Not many remixers puts this much love into their tracks, this makes every remix coming from Terje´s end of the table sound like Billboard Top 20 material.
It´s now 4 years since Terje dropped out of physics studies to do music full time. Some might say this wasn´t smart, the future is in the Planck constant. Terje would then say no, that WAS quite smart, and that he is now the Remaster Of The Universe.

A federal judge in Orange County this month finalized a $20.4 million judgment against an x-rated website that sold 272 Japanese pornography films on the Internet without authorization, according to court records inside the Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse in Santa Ana.
The action by U.S. District Court Judge Cormac J. Carney backs a trial-eve, April mediation settlement between plaintiff Dreamroom Productions, Inc. and HHSI, Inc. and its owner, Koji Ban.
Dreamroom Productions, which owns copyrights on the movies it created, filed its lawsuit in 2008 and won a 2011 permanent injunction against HHSI from selling its porn without authorization.
For years prior to the settlement, HHSI claimed it hadn't stolen any XXX movies because its site merely served as storage for the actual villains, a defense Dreamroom lawyers rejected after investigations.
"Dreamroom will present evidence at trial proving that HHSI, while trying to hide behind numerous aliases (including a labyrinth of interlocking websites, offshore entities, alter-ego businesses and sham corporations), copied plaintiff's movies onto its computers, and illegally sold thousands of copies to users who paid a 'membership fee' to a website called www.movie-revolution.com," the company's Marina del Rey-based lawyer, Paul T. Martin, wrote in a March court filing.
The $20.4 million judgment was calculated based on a fee of $75,000 for each of the 272 misappropriated films that are, according to court records, especially popular and profitable in Japan.

Pirates Acquire Pitcher Doug Mathis From the Marlins
The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired right handed pitcher Doug Mathis from the Marlins for a PTBNL or cash. Mathis has spent parts of three seasons in the majors, combining for a 4.84 ERA in 87.1 innings, with a 4.5 K/9 and a 3.6 BB/9. His last season in the majors was in 2010 at the age of 27. This year he has been pitching in Triple-A, with a 3.85 ERA in 114.2 innings, along with a 6.7 K/9 and a 4.2 BB/9.
The Pirates will most likely be raiding the Indianapolis roster on September 1st when the major league rosters expand. They've been adding a few minor players, such as Robert Andino and Kyle Farnsworth, in preparation for those moves. Indianapolis will be going to the playoffs, so they will need replacements once pitchers like Vic Black, Duke Welker, and everyone else on the 40-man r...

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Tony Parker had 31 points and the San Antonio Spurs earned their eighth consecutive win by shutting down the Phoenix Suns in the final quarter for a 108-99 victory on Saturday night. Manu Ginobili added 20 points, Tiago Splitter had 13, Boris Diaw finished with 11 for San Antonio (36-11), which has won 16 in a row at home. The Spurs were without Tim Duncan (sore knee) and coach Gregg Popovich (illness) for a third consecutive game. Michael Beasley had 25 points and Jared Dudley scored 23 for the Suns (15-29), who lost for the first time since coach Lindsey Hunter took over. Parker had 11 points and five assists as San Antonio outscored Phoenix 27-17 in the fourth, forcing six turnovers in the period. The All-Star point guard finished 13 for 17 from the field and only had three turnovers in 34 minutes. The Spurs turned up their defensive pressure in the final period, forcing three turnovers and three missed shots while building a 96-88 lead with 6:21 remaining. Parker had four points and an assist in the 7-0 run, racing down the court for a layup after stepping in front of a pass by Markieff Morris. San Antonio grabbed control after Ginobili was knocked down by Shannon Brown with 31.4 seconds left in the third, leading to a flagrant foul and an ejection. Brown struck Ginobili violently across the side of the head as he attempted to recover defensively after getting beat off the dribble. Ginobili also was undercut by Morris almost simultaneously, leading to loud jeers by the crowd. The ejection shocked Brown, who watched mouth agape as the foul was replayed on the video screen. The play invigorated Ginobili, who had two steals and a 3 to bridge the third and fourth quarters and tie the game at 84. Just as it did in Wednesday's 106-102 victory over New Orleans, San Antonio struggled early. The Spurs missed their first three shots while failing to score in the first 3 minutes. After Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard each missed a 3, Parker scored on a layup after Goran Dragic fell while attempting to backpedal defensively. The basket sparked the Spurs, who made their next 10 attempts in a 22-13 run. Parker scored 10 points during the run, including a layup that put San Antonio up 22-19 with 4 minutes left. Beasley scored 10 points in the second quarter, including six during an 11-6 surge that put Phoenix ahead 49-48 with 4:21 left in the half. NOTES: Duncan has sat out four games this season after missing eight during last year's strike-shortened season. . Suns F Channing Frye (enlarged heart) remains out indefinitely. Frye has not played this season. . The Spurs swept the season series against the Suns last season, winning the four games by an average of 8.5 points. . Phoenix general manager Lance Blanks spent five seasons in San Antonio's front office, ascending to director of scouting before joining the Suns.

i like this game
Men I WILL NON STOP KILLING SLIME FOR EVUR well done lol anyway i like when the game is over go back start then pick some new characters its fun to chemistry some awesome games this rocks and now imma smash those bushes it reminds me of rustle effect ambush XD
i love this gamee!
At first, I really liked this game. A LOT. I had a few bugs along the way but it was fine I played through them, I beat every level except for the boss rush and I got all the coins and the treasure except I don't have the achievements for those for some reason. Guess I have to beat the boss rush. But gosh dangit the time trials are IMPOSSIBLE with the jumps bugging out. The jump bug has more than quadrupled since the beginning of the game and its insane and its horrible. Falling through platforms, sometimes spawning in the void, jumping past things, sometimes I even jump attack and I end up in places I shouldn't even be on some levels. This game has a great concept and I want to finish it so bad, but I just cant, its really stupid. I'm very upset and disappointed now. It was like a sweet candy that ended up leaving a bitter taste in your mouth.
(*) Short version: Cute graphics, simple but monotone gameplay, repetitive music and annoyingly buggy.
(*) Extended Version:
This is long and it's what I think about this game, you can either agree and disagree but you should read it anyway:
-*- Graphics: Very smooth and cute graphics, you really spent time on doing this game. But I had trouble with the Bushes who hide in the trees AND ground because their eyes were undetectable, you should fix that. Anyway, 9/10 for graphics.
-*- Music: Having played the whole Epic Battle Fantasy saga, I expected a good soundtrack in this one, but it was a big dissapointment that this game had repetitive music. It's nice at first, but it gets annoying overtime so I had to mute the game (and sounds) and listen to something else. 3/10 for music (though it's not your fault).
-*- Gameplay: Easy to understand and play but there are flaws and annoying bugs in it. I'll name them here but before it, I have to say that it was also irritating to spam S and Q (my hotkey to heal) to get by in this game
Firstly, What does LEVEL UP do? NOTHING! I would have really liked it if the player could have the chance to upgrade his Stats (HP, MP, defense, etc.) but it's useless, the only goal in it is to win a silly medal ._.
Secondly, the enemy AI was way too weird, I saw enemies falling from the sky to chase me, when I never actually got CLOSE ENOUGH to them. Also, the LAVA IDOLS (those who jump a lot) were way too annoying. When you kill them it SPLITS UP with same HP and attack power! Not to mention their jumping skills that make them reach you easily and push off cliffs.
Thirdly, I'll name the Bugs, but it deserves another cathegory to expand it. Anyway, gameplay receives 7/10 because of the bugs.
-*- Bugs: the platform system SUCKS (no offense) but it happened WAY TOO MANY TIMES that Matt WENT THROUGH platforms while falling. This made me quit the game, but later came back to give it another chance and write this review and warn other people. It also happened to me that foes (specially bushes) appeared NEXT to my platform, I don't know if this happened to other people.
I don't think you'll ever read this review OR update this game, but in case you do and if you ever make a new platform game, FIX these bugs and CHANGE the mechanics!
I have to admit that medals made this game addictive and made me want to give it a new chance.
Overall, this game receives a 6 out of 10.
That's all, see ya.

More LNG ship propulsion orders for Wartsila
In the first two months of 2006, Wartsila Corporation won orders for a further 16 Wartsila 50DF dual-fuel engines to power four LNG (liquefied natural gas) carriers contracted in Korea.
In January Wartsila won an order to supply two sets of four 50DF engines to Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) of Korea. They will be installed in two dual-fuel-electric LNG carriers contracted by Bergesen Worldwide Gas of Norway, and are the first 50DF engines to be ordered by DSME.
In February Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries of Korea ordered two sets of four 50DF dual-fuel engines to power two dual-fuel-electric LNG carriers for Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) of Japan.
With these Wartsilanow has orders for 104 50DF engines for 26 dual-fuel-electric LNG ships.
"In very many of the LNG carrier newbuilding projects worldwide, dual-fuel-electric machinery has been preferred over traditionally-applied steam turbine machinery and other machinery alternatives," says Jaakko Eskola, Group Vice President of Wartsila Ship Power. "Higher efficiency and thus lower fuel consumption and a higher degree of redundancy are the keys to the unrivalled success of dual-fuel-electric machinery."
First order from Japan in November
In November, Wartsila received its first dual-fuel engine order from Japan.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will install four 50DF dual-fuel engines each on two 157,000 cu.m LNG carriers for MISC of Malaysia. It will be the first Japanese shipyard to apply dual-fuel-electric machinery.
Jaakko Eskola says "Japan is the second-largest producer of LNG carriers after Korea, so this order is an important milestone. The fact that these are the first dual-fuel engines for MISC, one of the major LNG carrier owners/operators, makes this contract even more notable."
The other orders during the last six months of 2005 came from Korea. Samsung Heavy Industries ordered five sets of four 50DF engines to power one 155,000 cu.m LNG carrier for Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha ("K" Line) of Japan, two 155,000 cu.mLNG carriers for A.P. Moller of Denmark, and two 155,000 cu.m LNG carriers for Chevron. Hyundai Heavy Industries ordered two sets of four 50DF engines to power two 155,000 cu.m LNG carriers for Teekay Shipping of Canada.
Jaakko Eskola points out that "the big players in the LNG segment have all opted for Wartsila dual-fuel engine technology."
The 26 dual-fuel-electric LNG carriers currently on order worldwide, all featuring Wartsila 50DF engines, are being constructed in France, Korea and Japan for A.P. Moller (six ships), Bergesen Worldwide Gas (two ships), BP Shipping (four ships), Chevron (two ships), Gaz de France (two ships), Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha ("K" Line) (three ships), MISC (two ships), Mitsui OSK Lines (two ships), Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) (one ship) and Teekay Shipping (two ships).
Orders for smaller engines types
In addition to these 50DF contracts, Wartsila also received orders for the slightly smaller Wrtsil 32DF dual-fuel engine type.
DSME ordered a twelve-cylinder 32DF to complement the steam turbine machinery installation on a 151,000 cu.m LNG carrier with onboard LNG regasification installation (LNG-RV) for Exmar of Belgium.
West Contractors of Norway ordered one set of four six-cylinder 32DF units to power a dual-fuel-electric offshore supply vessel for Eidesvik Shipping of Norway.
"Dual-fuel engines have so far been selected for onshore power plants, floating production, storage and offloading installations (FPSOs), offshore supply vessels and LNG carriers," says Jaakko Eskola. "On the back of our success in those market segments, we are currently experiencing increased interest in applying the same dual-fuel machinery concepts in other market segments, ranging from floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) to ferries, tugs and even cruise ships".

Family Historians live for those five precious words: I have something for you.
Let's all just take a moment to remember that the amount of "stuff" I have (and believe me, I'm trying to eliminate a lot of it) in no way diminishes my deep longing (and yes, need) for mementos of familial significance. I may have no idea where I'll put it or how I'll document it or how to share it. Yet, I absolutely need it. Make no mistake.
Sometimes you expect it. Sometimes you almost plan it. You know that if you ask enough questions about a person or a situation, you'll be offered a photograph or a letter or some striking piece of history that ties him into the fabric of your story.
And then, sometimes, it catches you totally off your guard. You are driving someone home after a Thanksgiving visit, and someone you haven't seen in months greets you at the door with a brown envelope and says, "I have something for you." Your heart races. Your pupils dilate. You feel the blood rush to your face. You couldn't be more enthralled if it had four wheels, a hood ornament, and a bright red Christmas bow. This is the moment for which you didn't even realize you were longing. For a moment, you even forget that your name is misspelled on the envelope. It doesn't seem to matter at that moment.
What's inside? Is it a letter? A death certificate? An ancestor's attempt at a pedigree? Naturalization papers? Civil War records? Photographs? A lock of hair?
What's inside?
What's inside?
What's inside?
And then you remember: It doesn't matter.
The contents of a small brown envelope or the contents of a trunk that's been rotting in the attic. It doesn't matter what's inside. What matters is this: It's been entrusted to your care. Someone, with some appreciation of the family history, feels that the best place for this treasure is in your keeping.
That's a humbling realization.
I've had two moments like this in the past year. Both situations left me silent, soaking up the incredible information that was being gifted to me. Both situations left me stunned, overjoyed, silenced. The first came about at the Schmitzer Family Reunion in August. A woman I'd never met (who, ironically, had emailed me prior to the Reunion but I didn't read the email until afterwards) handed me a brown paper bag full of Reunion logs, letters, and other information that I will be sifting through for a long time yet. I can't wait to share it with my family.
But yesterday, when my dad handed me this small brown envelope of papers, I could hardly stand the 6 hour drive home so I could rip it open and sort through it!
I confess that I was frustrated at first. Several of the pages have apparent coffee stains, which is certainly not worth complaining. Except the two pages of handwritten notes (my secret genealogy obsession) where the coffee stains are more like blobs, making much of the document illegible. I need someone who can pull an Abbie Sciuto on the pages and separate the coffee from the ink, or something. I was also frustrated, initially, because the pages didn't seem to make sense in context of one another. It seemed like random information, but I've been doing family history long enough that I should've known not to jump to conclusions! The pages actually belong together.
The first two pages document the marriage and children of Joseph and Jane Moore, my Scottish (according to this person's research; Irish, according to some others) 3xG grandparents. The pages that follow document the descendants of his children, my 2xG grandfather, Thomas, and his brothers.
The Edward clan (on of my 2xG grandfather's brothers) has been problematic for me for some time now. I've connected online with one or two of his descendants, but I have better questions than I have answers. Ironically, it is the text on his family that has the Coffee Blobbing.
The experience is further complicated by the lack of authorship. It is an excellent reminder to myself (and any genealogist, regardless of experience level) to byline and date my work. As it stands, most of the information corroborates what I already know, so it's not problematic; the information regarding Edward, however, is obviously a photocopy of a handwritten account without apparent author at present.
What is a Family Historian to do?
Simple, folks.
She rolls up her sleeves, makes a fresh pot of coffee, and begins transcribing the documents before her while she waits for her father to call and answer some of her questions about where the information came from and whether it can be replicated or attributed to anyone.
Is there a better way to spend a Friday evening? Nah. There isn't. There really isn't. The truth is–frustration or not, we get sucked into genealogy because we love the puzzle. And we love new pieces, even if it's a sky blue piece and you've already filled in the sky.

Liverpool Gives a Hand to Help Save African Heritage
Byline: PETER ELSON
NOT content with opening a campus in China, the University of Liverpool is branching out into the dark continent.
Although not a huge development, in its way this is just as important. At stake is an attempt to save the heritage of a rural African community from extinction. It would also enable future African students to study their past in Liverpool.
The University's School of Classics, Archaeology and Egyptology, founded in 1881, is raising pounds 1m to build a heritage and research centre in Luangwa Valley, Zambia.
Local people from the Kunda and Bisa tribes will be able to preserve aspects of their heritage threatened with obliteration and to nurture traditional skills before they are lost.
Village What we think of as attractive village crafts in the West are being eroded by cheap massproduced industrial imports. crafts are eroded by "I've been working in Zambia for nearly 15 years, and I can see how quickly the heritage of the local peoples is vanishing," says Prof Larry Barham, of the University's School.
imports "Metal and plastic containers are replacing traditional pots, plastic bags take the place of baskets.
"Second-hand clothing from the UK being sold at local markets, undermining the indigenous textile industry.
"The centre aims to save some of this rural area's precious history for future generations and growing numbers of tourists to enjoy."
Not only will the centre display the area's abundant natural history, but also allow Liverpool's archaeologists to show the results of their research in the valley.
The University has a long history of archaeological research in Africa and for the last six years Prof Barham has led research in the Luangwa Valley.
He has uncovered evidence of humans in the region reaching back at least 2m years. The systematic sampling of south Luangwa's archaeological treasures has produced a wealth of artefacts, ranging from early stone tools to pottery which is just a few hundred years old. …

Let's Make the Teacher Have a Miscarriage Club
先生を流産させる会 (Sensei o Ryuzan saseru Kai)
Friday, July 13, 2012
The Atrocity Exhibition (2 short features and 1 short back to back)
North American Premiere
Co-presented with The New York Asian Film Festival
Loosely based on a true story, and not for the faint of heart, the movie opens on five bored junior high girls staring into a rabbit hutch. Ringleader Mizuki grabs one of the rabbits, climbs to the top of a nearby slide, and punts the animal to the ground, killing it instantly. The other girls giggle, but Mizuki doesn't see what's so funny. Their teacher, Sawako (Aki Miyata) is four months pregnant, and stronger than the rest of her ineffectual colleagues. She wants to help her students, but she can't get their parents on the phone, and she's becoming increasingly concerned for her own safety and the safety of her unborn child. When the bravura finale comes, it's light-years beyond dime-store Western psycho-thrillers.
Japan. 2012. 60 min., HD Cam, in Japanese with English subtitles. Written and directed by Eisuke Naito. With Aki Miyata, Kaori Kobayashi, Yuriko Onuma.
18+ This film is unrated, but may only be viewed by persons 18 years of age or older.

The Zanzibar minister for Livestock and Fisheries Abdillahi Hassan Jihad has called for measures to protect sea environment and its endowments by fighting illegal fishing practices that destruct fish coral reef breeding sites.
He made the call yesterday in Malindi, Zanzibar during the launch of a book titled 'Mila na Miiko', meaning 'Customs and Ethos', which explains the role of indigenous knowledge in the management of the marine resources including fish and breeding sites on coral reefs.
Minister Jihad said illegal fishing caused great destruction to fish breeding sites. He called on the society to participate fully in maintaining the marine environment, particularly along the sea shores of Tanzania.
He said governments of both sides will continue to mobilise people and create awareness on best practices for exploration of sea resources and call them to avoid using illegal fishing equipment.
"Most people in Tanzania, particularly those residing close to sea shores and whose live hoods depend on sea products should participate fully in protecting the sea," said Minister Jihad.
"It is important to implement strategies that will help in managing the resources. We must adopt modern means of protecting coral reefs as they are important fish breeding sites," the Minister emphasised.
The Director for Marine Science Institute of the University of Dar es Salaam, Prof Desderius Masalu, who represented the Vice Chancellor, Prof Rwekaza Mukandala said the book has been written following a research that was conducted by scientists from Mexico, Australia, Philippines and Tanzania.
He said the book is part of a series of researches under the big project of Coral Reefs Targeted Research (CRTR) which involves about 50 institutes around the world.
He said the project was funded by the Global Environment Fund (GEF), the World Bank (WB), Queensland University (Australia) and the US Ocean and Sky Management Authority.
Professor Masalu said the main objective of the project is to curb fundamental shortcomings in understanding the coral reefs ecological systems in order to strengthen and help formulate effective management polices around the globe.
"The book explains how customs and ethos contribute to proper management of coral reefs and fishing resources," said Prof Masalu who also took part in the research.
He said customs and ethos are very important even in Tanzania, particularly in the protection of natural resources, boosting social welfare, spiritual, cultural and economic growth.
For his part, one of the scientists who participated in the research and preparation of the book, Dr Christopher Muhando, explained the differences of the destruction of coral reefs in ocean beds, one that occurs naturally and one that is brought by human agents.
"This research is a savior to development of the fishing sector and conservation of sea environment along the coast," said Dr Muhando.
For her part, scientist Dr Mwanahija Shalli, said there were still customs and traditions among people living along the coast that are instrumental in the preservation of sea environment.
She said there are fishermen who believe that elderly members of the society should not fish alongside more youthful counterparts; and those using hooks are not supposed to fish alongside those using nets.
She said that the research found about 14 customs and ethos related to fishing practices that have been used by people on the sea shore for generations.
A total of 14 villages along the seashore, five from Zanzibar, were involved in the research.

Obtaining a plumber with experience may seem very tedious. You have probably heard stories from friends, family or people you're friends with who have had disaster strike within their home by hiring someone irresponsible to adopt over a plumbing improvement or repair. How will you avoid hiring a plumber who may potentially make the situation worse? How will you discern if the plumbing engineer is responsible enough to defend myself against the plumbing job? Some qualities of your plumber that you should seek out have been provided below for you to read and understand.
1. Cleans Up the Mess
A plumber mustn't be like a child entering your house. Teens and children usually leave in pretty bad shape with wrappers, cups, in addition to their items all over the place. The average person should be neat and clean whilst or she arrives at your home. The plumber you hire ought not leave a trace of his belongings in your house. The debris, the cut pipes, wrappers removed from new equipment, a whole bunch more should be removed from the job area when he/she becomes ready to leave. Consider it, if he or she does not be proud of their appearance, then why are they going to take pride in their work!
2. Arrives Within Time Scheduled
When you schedule an appointment which has a local plumber, no matter what the estimate is for your repair, the worker should arrive within the time frame that was arranged. Yes, delays can occur, but if they occur, then a plumber should tell you or give you a conclusion by telling you what time he/she will arrive to your premises. All it often takes is a courtesy call to present a heads up, like, "Mr or Mrs. Jones, I'm so sorry, however am delayed at another job, in traffic, etc. I will be there in XX minutes. Is always that still OK with you?" A responsible plumber understands customer satisfaction and quality services. They'll respect your time, and as a consequence respect you, the paying customer.
3. Utilizes Proper Tools and equipment
A professional plumber can have the capacity to handle various situations. The plumber will understand which tools to work with and which tools never to use in order to fix the situation. A good plumber will take fitted parts and will be able to complete the job very quickly by using the proper tools. If you think the plumber looks confused or perhaps is piecing parts together that do not fit, then you shouldn't let him/her continue with the job.
These qualities must be noted because they show the project ethic of a plumber. Remember these qualities when you consider calling in a plumber for installations or repairs at your residence or office.
4. Stands behind their work
A licensed plumbing service will offer a guarantee or warranty in some recoverable format. If they don't or these are unwilling to stand behind the workmanship or expertise of the repair, service or improvement, then you might want to consider hiring a different plumbing company.
Your comment is being submitted, please wait a moment.

Buying a home may seem a daunting task, but a little preparation will ease the way. Check out these 10 common pitfalls of first-time homebuyers before starting your search.
The declining home values that are plaguing homeowners are just one of the factors creating an opportunity for prospective homebuyers. Indeed, a recent Century 21 Real Estate survey found that more than three-quarters (78%) of potential first-time homebuyers say now is a good time to buy. If you agree, be aware that buying a home comes with plenty of potential missteps. Here are 10 all-too-common mistakes first-timers make.
1. Not knowing how much house you can afford.
Many novice homebuyers spend a lot of time researching homes - comparing kitchen layouts and backyard square footage - but very little time researching their financing options. One of the first things buyers should do is talk to a qualified lender and get preapproved for a mortgage, says Claire Clark, senior vice president of business development at Prudential California Realty. Without first figuring out how much house you can afford, you risk falling in love with one you can't.
2. Assuming foreclosures are great deals.
Just because the previous owner owed $450,000 on a house before the bank took it over doesn't mean it's worth that much now. Values have slipped significantly, says Jay Michael, partner at Estate Property Group, a Chicago real-estate brokerage, so you may not be getting the bargain you think with a foreclosure. Also, most homes owned by lenders or banks have been sitting vacant for months and may have been vandalized. That could require extensive renovation or repair. Weigh the costs of fixing up the property against the savings you'll likely reap by buying a lower-priced foreclosed home.
3. Letting your true feelings show.
No matter how much you've fallen in love with a house, don't let the seller's agent in on it. Otherwise, he will gain the upper hand in negotiations.
4. Failing to find a good buyer's agent.
Landing a mortgage is tough these days. So buyers should rely heavily on knowledgeable agents to help them get their finances in order, says Michael. After all, buyer's agents have a fiduciary responsibility to the buyer exclusively - and should be looking out for his best interest. Consider using an agent recommended by a relative or friend. Interview the candidates about their experience; ask if they've worked with first-time buyers before and what kind of service you'll get from them.
5. Underestimating the costs of owning a home.
Whether it's a rusty pipe or a leaky roof, things go wrong and need to be fixed. Many homebuyers don't anticipate the additional costs for repair and maintenance, or for an increase in utility costs, says Erin Baehr, a certified financial planner and president of Baehr Family Financial. Consider the age of your new home and how well it's been treated by the previous owners in your budget. Be prepared to set aside a small percentage (1% at most) of the home's purchase price annually for repairs and upkeep.
6. Failing to budget for property taxes.
Property taxes - and the likelihood that they'll climb over the course of your time in the house - should be factored into any homebuying budget, says Baehr. To get an idea of how much you'll be paying, call the local assessor's office or talk to people in the neighborhood.
7. Assuming your first offer will get accepted.
As home prices get even more affordable, competition is bound to heat up. "You can't assume you'll walk in there, make the offer and get it," says Clark. Try not to get discouraged if you lose out on the first - or second - house you make an offer on.
8. Skipping the inspection.
Before signing anything, hire a professional inspector, says Justin Lopatin, a mortgage planner with American Street Mortgage Co. The seller isn't likely to tell you there's mold in the basement or the walls are poorly insulated. Lopatin advises buyers to find and hire their own inspector - independently of the real-estate agent - to ensure there's no conflict of interest. (You can find inspection companies in the phone book, or by doing a simple Web search with your ZIP code.)
9. Doing too much too fast.
Some buyers want to make the house their own right away, says Baehr. They overextend themselves on credit to do so, and assume the improvement will pay for itself by increasing the home's value. But that's not always the case - especially in today's market. Instead, buyers need to exhibit patience and make changes over time.
10. Failing to include a contingency clause in the contract.
A mortgage financing contingency clause protects you if, say, you lose your job and the loan falls through or the appraisal price comes in over the purchase price. Should one of these events occur, the buyer gets back the money he used to secure the property. Without the clause, he can lose that money and still be obligated to buy the house, says Lopatin.

Ecologists in Nebraska are trying to find out what the Great Plains looked like when homesteaders settled there in the 19th century. To do that, they're working with a team of archaeologists and historians dissecting a sod house, a house built out of bricks cut from dirt.
Larry Estes has had a sod house in his backyard in Gates, Neb., for as long as he can remember. He never really thought anything about it until a year ago when a repairman asked him about it.
Summer weeds are about to die off making right now the ideal time to work on the lawn. Horticulturalist and turfgrass specialist Nick Christians of Iowa State University explains how to pick out seed, grow and maintain a beautiful lawn. ISU horticulturalist Richard Jauron also joins the program to answer questions about the yard and garden.

Cody Bloom wondered about the impact of electric cars on oil prices and the future of the Alaska Permanent Fund. Bobbi Varness suggested dividends might have to drop to keep the fund intact and prevent new taxes. Leah Krafft talked of hopes that when she has children, they'll get the dividend too.
Bloom, Varness and Krafft, plus Colin Conerton and Jon Rue, wrote their thoughts down to become Juneau winners in an essay contest called The Alaska Permanent Fund: Past, Present and Future.
In the contest, Juneau-Douglas High School students were asked to submit a 350- to 500-word essay on the state's oil-wealth savings account. The contest and other events marked the 25th anniversary of the statewide vote to create the fund.
Winners were honored at a ceremony at the permanent fund corporation's Juneau offices Nov. 2. Each received a certificate of award and a $100 savings bond.
Read the winning essays:
Cody Bloom's essay
Bobbi Varness's essay
Leah Krafft's essay
Colin Conerton's essay
Jon Rue's essay
Selections from the winning essays:
* Cody Bloom: "The future for Alaska may need more consideration. The introduction of hybrid or fully electric cars and environmentally friendly machines could have an effect on oil prices. This would in turn affect the revenue earned by the state of Alaska. Something will have to change soon. The state of Alaska just can't keep cutting funding. Either new plans will have to be made that appeal to Alaskans or the state will have to increase taxation. It has to have some sort of income to function."
* Bobbi Varness: "Do we deserve a dividend? Sure, Alaskans love the idea of a couple thousand dollars being doled out to them and their family each year. Is this really our money to spend as freely as we do? This is our state and the constitution of the United States of America tells the people of our country that we have the right to vote. This dividend is our decision, and until our state votes otherwise, we will be receiving one until it is gone."
* Leah Krafft: "Alaskans love the Permanent Fund. There's no doubt about it. But it can make some people greedy. They want their free money, and they don't want anyone taking it away, even if the money was to build new schools, fund new projects, or help build roads. Other states are fine without their free money. Just think about how we could spend that billion dollars on things the state really needs. My school could use some new books and equipment, in fact, we could use a whole new school considering it's a building that houses 1,700 kids but was built for 1,000. These are problems we need to think about as a state do we want our children to have a nice school, with new technology, or do we want all that money for ourselves?"
* Colin Conerton: "The future of the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend looks encouraging. All Alaskans are excited about the numerous investment opportunities in real estate and in stocks and bonds. The continued growth of the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend seems to be in excellent condition. Even with the events of Sept. 11 in mind, the diversity of the fund's investments will keep it a powerful and meaningful fund for Alaska residents for numerous years to come."
* Jon Rue: "As we continue into the next generation, we need to ensure the safety of the Permanent Fund for all future Alaskans. That being said, we also need to take a step back, look beyond the plane tickets to Mexico that we could buy with our Permanent Fund checks, and examine the direction that our state is headed. If we don't start using the money we have to improve our schools and cities, we will be facing a bleak future."

|[en] A number of motored auger holes have been drilled in 2002 and 2006 in four sand-clay deposits preserved in dissolution pockets within the Dinantian limestones of the watershed north of the Vesdre valley. These deposits of unknown age are currently classified as (Tertiary) SBL in the new geological map of Wallonia. We present detailed lithostratigraphic logs of the deposits and describe the results of sedimentological and mineralogical analyses. In particular, K-Ar dating of neoformed Mn oxides found at the base of one augerhole at Rechain yielded ages ranging from Cenomanian to Santonian, allowing us to place the Rechain and Andrimont deposits within the early Late Cretaceous. This is fully consistent with their topographic location very close beneath the trace of the pre-Cretaceous erosion surface and makes them the westernmost remains of the Hergenrath Member of the Late Cretaceous Aachen Formation. To the west, the Magnée deposit is more "typical SBL", probably corresponding to the Late Neogene filling of a dissolution pocket by
reworked weathering products of the local Cretaceous cover.
