Fabregas repeat unlikely against new look AC Milan
Brought to you by
Arsenal's victory against AC Milan in the San Siro almost four years ago was one of the most iconic of Arsene Wenger's 15-year reign in charge of the north London club.
A long range strike from Cesc Fabregas and last minute goal from Emmanuel Adebayor ensured the Gunners progressed to the last eight of the Champions League, and defeated a team littered with Milanese stars.
But what are the chances of a repeat performance by Arsenal in Milan on Wednesday evening? GMF takes a closer look at the teams of four years ago and their current reincarnations...
2008: Zeljko Kalac (Milan) v Manuel Almunia (Arsenal)
Brazil international Dida was Carlo Ancelotti's first-choice goalkeeper when Milan hosted Arsenal in 2008, but was forced to employ the services of Zeljko Kalac in his stead.
For Arsenal, Manuel Almunia was enjoying an impressive season in goal and, when the two sides met, the Gunners could boast the best custodian on display.
This became clear when the Gunners took the lead, with Kalac failing to deal with a speculative Cesc Fabregas shot from distance, which gave the visitors the lead.
Winner: Arsenal
2012: Christian Abbiati v Wojciech Szczesny
Christian Abbiati can boast ten clean sheets in 22 appearances for the Serie A leaders this season, and has established himself as Milan's No.1 after Dida left the club in the summer of 2010.
However, the Italian shot-stopper's direct rival in the last 16 of the Champions League is arguably one of the world's finest young goalkeepers in Wojciech Szczesny.
Despite a season of defensive inconsistencies from Arsenal, Szczesny continues to impress and is likely to remain No.1 at the Emirates Stadium for many years to come.
Winner: Arsenal
2008: Paulo Maldini, Kakha Kaladze, Alessandro Nesta, Massimo Oddo v Gael Clichy, Phillipe Senderos, William Gallas, Bacary Sagna
Although Arsenal triumphed in the previous San Siro meeting between the two, Milan could boast a defensive unit far superior pedigree.
With Milan stalwarts Paulo Maldini and Alessandro Nesta as part of the back four, the Rossoneri had two of the finest defenders on display that Italy had ever produced.
Arsenal, meanwhile, had to call upon the services of much-maligned Phillpe Senderos to partner captain William Gallas in central defence.
Winner: Milan
2012: Djamel Mesbah, Thiago Silva, Phillpe Mexes, Ignazio Abate v Kieran Gibbs, Laurent Koscielny, Thomas Vermaelen, Bacary Sagna
Bacary Sagna is the only defender on display this evening who also featured in the previous encounter between the two sides.
The Frenchman does, however, form part of a defensive unit that has been dogged by injuries this season, with himself, Kieran Gibbs and Thomas Vermaelen all returning to the fold in recent weeks.
Arsene Wenger would consider tonight's four to be his first-choice defence, but they will be compared against a settled Milan unit that have conceded only eight goals this year.
Winner: Milan
2008: Massimo Ambrosini, Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso, Alexandre Pato, Kaka v Abou Diaby, Cesc Fabregas, Matthieu Flamini, Emmanuel Eboue, Alex Hleb
Carlo Ancelotti's midfield at that time was one of the most iconic in recent years for Milan, with each player - bar Pato - featuring prominently when the Italian giants won the Champions League the previous season.
Arsenal, meanwhile, for all their inexperience possessed a group of midfielders far more dynamic and with a greater work ethic than their Milanese counterparts.
Over the course of the season, Matthieu Flamini and Cesc Fabregas had struck up a partnership to rival any in Europe at that time and travelled to the San Siro brimming with confidence.
Winner: Arsenal
2012: Massimo Ambrosini, Mark van Bommel, Antonio Nocerino, Kevin Prince-Boateng, Robinho v Aaron Ramsey, Alex Song, Mikel Arteta, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Both sides are likely to operate with three central midfielders this evening, while two more attack-minded players support the main striker.
There is very little to choose between the midfields of both Milan and Arsenal, with each possessing an ideal blend of players with a guile, craft and defensive endeavour.
Arsenal, though, have still not found a settled formula in midfield this season, and the experienced heads of Massimo Ambrosini and Mark van Bommel could win the battle for Milan.
Winner: Milan
2008: Pippo Inzaghi v Emmanuel Adebayor
Pippo Inzaghi appeared to be reaching the end of his career when Milan and Arsenal met in 2008 yet, somehow, he is still plying his trade at the San Siro.
Even at the age of 34, the 2007/08 season transpired to be Inzaghi's second most prolific during a decade playing for Milan.
Emmanuel Adebayor, however, was at the height of his powers this time for years ago, and already had 22 goals for the season to his name when Arsenal travelled to Italy.
Winner: Arsenal
2012: Zlatan Ibrahimovic v Robin van Persie
Somewhat of an enigma to English fans, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has rarely failed to impress when facing a side from the Premier League, despite regularly exceptional domestic form.
The Swede is, once again, proving he is a goalscorer of some repute, and has netted an impressive 19 goals in 24 appearances this term.
Ibrahimovic is, however, up against quite possibly the finest striker in the world at the moment, and Robin van Persie can already boast 32 strikes this season for club and country. There is only one winner here.
Winner: Arsenal
A vibrant Arsenal side impressively dispatched of ageing Milan in 2008, but will face a tougher prospect this evening.
And, when compared to Massimiliano Allegri's dynamic league leaders, Arsene Wenger's inconsistent and relatively inexperienced side are likely to come out second best.News Now - Sport News

Few sectors in the financial industry seem to offer as compelling of a value proposition right now as business development companies, many of which are trading for healthy discounts to book value.
The question, in turn, is whether or not value investors should take this as a cue to pile into BDCs before the rest of the market, at least in theory, catches on.
Charles Sizemore, the chief investment officer of Sizemore Capital Management, thinks the answer is yes. Here's his logic:
BDC valuations fell off a cliff during the 2008 meltdown before recovering into 2010. But the overall trend in price/book valuation has been down. As a group, this is the cheapest the BDC sector has been since the crisis.
Can cheap sectors get cheaper? Of course. But given the alternatives in a broadly overpriced market, I'll gladly take the 8.7% dividends on offer from BDCs.
Suffice it to say that Sizemore is onto something. If value investors aren't willing to put their money on the line when valuations are low, then what's the point in being a value investor?
Yet when it comes to BDCs -- and, specifically, the ones that trade for the largest discounts to book value -- there's a growing body of evidence suggesting that investors should be particularly cautious before acting on this impulse.
The risks, so to speak, don't concern the BDCs themselves. They revolve instead around the ability of their portfolio companies to weather a rising-rate environment.
Critical context for understanding BDCs
There are three things to keep in mind here. The first is that BDCs, by nature, invest in companies with high debt-to-equity ratios. As a result, many of the companies held by BDCs are atypically vulnerable to higher interest rates.
Second, many of the loans to these portfolio companies are indexed to short-term interest rates. At Prospect Capital, 72% of its assets bear interest at floating rates. And, according to its consolidated schedule of investments, roughly the same seems to be true at Ares Capital.
The third thing to keep in mind is that a healthy portion of any BDC's holdings consist of subordinated or otherwise unsecured debt instruments. In the event of default, these will only pay out after senior claims have been satisfied.
Now, to be fair, none of this is new. So, why should investors be concerned today as opposed to, say, three or five years ago?
The reason is that many BDCs spent the last few years bulking up their balance sheets with leveraged loans. Since the beginning of 2011, Prospect Capital's total assets have grown fourfold; Ares Capital's have doubled.
Yet it was at precisely this same time that financial regulators started identifying systematic weaknesses in the underwriting standards used to originate leveraged loans.
Most notably, a multiagency review of leveraged loans originated in 2012 found "material widespread weaknesses in underwriting practices, including excessive leverage, inability to amortize debt over a reasonable period, and lack of meaningful financial covenants."
Take it from someone who has spent time studying the credit cycle, this is a serious concern. So serious, in fact, that it would be surprising if the fastest-growing BDCs over the last few years didn't suffer significant losses once the borrowing costs at their portfolio companies start to tick up.
My point is that there are good reasons many BDCs are trading for discounts to book value. How big of a discount should they be trading for? That's impossible to say. But, at least for the time being, I'd encourage all but the least risk averse investors to steer clear.

How does the process work? Paint correction is when a machine buffer (rotary or random orbital buffer) is used with a compound, swirl remover, or polish to remove scratches, scuff marks, swirl marks and other imperfections in the paint. The combination of a buffer and a polish or compound removes a small amount of clear coat to blend the scratch flawlessly with the rest of the paint.

There are different types of sushi roller kits with emphasis laid on the traditional(These kits will include a Sushi Mat (or Makisu) which is used by Japanese people to make sushi rolls or Maki rolls instead of using a new type of device designed to make the same roll.) and non traditional sushi roller kits. The sushi roller kit you will want to buy and really on will depend on how much money you have on hand or can afford, how easy going or facilitating you want your sushi kit to be, would you like a kit with you being the one to do your rolling or not etc. Though many other factors some of which I might have forgotten to make mention of, I think by the end of this you should have made up your mind on what type of sushi rolling kit you want the cost and where to get it.
Let's say the sushi your planning of making is for private consumption or to have so good experience in sushi making or for a special person or persons who really appreciate your efforts for trying to prepare something special and don't mind of how not well it's done then I'll recommend you use the traditional sushi roller kit not also forgetting about the little budget you might have. Well, most people will consider the aspect of pride "i did it all by myself". Imagine after many failures you actually produce a perfect sushi roll some might even get the temptation of taking photos to commemorate the day they used a traditional sushi roller to melee a perfect sushi roll like a Japanese native. Such a feeling would be incredibly great don't you think? Also, be warned as some people are generally not good at some things and using a sushi mat may, unfortunately, be one of such things so do not feel bad about being a sushi mat handicap. If it's any consolation you are not the only one and you can always turn to the non-traditional sushi kit. Examples of traditional sushi kits found at affordable prices at amazon are: easy sushi making kit and the sushi chef sushi making kit for more information visit www.sushirollerkit.com
On the other hand, if you find out that you are handicapped at using the sushi mat then you should pay attention now. If you are looking for a romantic first-time date where your not sure of how judgmental your date is then I'll suggest you go in for the non-traditional sushi roller kit because it will facilitate the rolling of your sushi making it look as though it were done by a native Japanese. It Will give amateurs a good a faster time at preparing a good and tasty sushi dish though the experience might not be as satisfying. The non-traditional sushi roller kit are generally more expensive and promote laziness as the native Japanese people would put it. Some of the non-traditional sushi roller kits available on Amazon include sushi magic sushi making kit, sushi quick sushi making kit, sushi etc. For more information about the non-traditional sushi roller kit contact www.sushirollerkit.com
At this point I'm guessing that you have probably already made a decision as to whether you want to try to make your sushi the traditional way, or would rather use helpful tools and devices that are supposed to make your sushi making a little easier that is the non traditional sushi roller kit thanks for reading and if you have any doubts just visit our web page at www.sushirollerkit.com

Here's a new one that just entered the collection (thank you Ebay). I always thought that Slingerland manufactured the parts for various drum companies including the Liberty Musical Instrument Corporation. But alas, I was mistaken. Check this out:
LIBERTY MUSICAL INSTRUMENT CORPORATION: Chicago, IL company founded in 1926 from the joining of two Boston firms--NOKES & NICOLAI, and JOSEPH PACHECO with the Liberty Rawhide Company, a major Chicago supplier of banjo and drum heads from 1920. Contemporary articles state that Liberty had purchased the "stock and good will" of the other two companies, and moved the stock in trade and equipment to new quarters in Chicago; each man was to have responsibility for his own end of the business, while John W. Placko, president of Liberty, was to supervise the manufacture of the drum and banjos heads. Within a year the new company had failed and was sold at auction, in August, 1927; since the factory and most of the machinery were new, there was great competition for the assets, which were finally purchased by Slingerland.
1926-27 5 x 14 LIBERTY SNARE DRUM Nothing earth-shattering here but I do like the history involved with this snare drum. I am not even sure what the model name is so any Liberty catalog photos will be welcomed. The shell is aluminum, the rims are steel, there are 8 double-tension lugs, 16 screw-type tension rods, calf heads top and bottom, 12 silk-wound snare wires and the flip-down strainer is pretty primitive . The Liberty badge is quite different than the Liberty badges that are on my other Liberty snare drums. Those badges are more like the brass oval badges that Ludwig & Ludwig used in the mid-1920s to the early 1930s. The batter head has some signatures from yesteryear and it looks like M. J. D'Arcy was possibly the original owner of this drum. That's about it, feel free to weigh-in with any other information.
Enjoy! Mike Curotto

Anyways, there was a tent selling lingerie and assorted women's products. The look on the lady's face when I took the picture was, well, Surly.

Commissioned by Luminaria Festival, 2017.
Skywave was a 16 channel audio visual installation housed inside a geodesic dome structure with simultaneous local radio broadcast. Three FM transmitters send audio to 8 radio which are split to 16 speakers, with each speaker mounted to a joint of the dome. A metal sphere inside the dome measures electrical resistance -- it changes when somebody touches the sphere or stand in very close proximity, acting like a radio antenna. This resistance controls changes in the audio and visual environment. It's an imagined future technology used to 'change channels' of the radio.
The audio is divided into five sections. Three of them use radio broadcasts from across the globe. Three others imagine a 'future music' wherein users control musical algorithms using the metal sphere.
The title of the installation refers to the Skywave phenomenon, wherein radio waves bounce between the earth's ionosphere and surface, traversing great distances. Skywave invites viewers to reflect on The materials and technology of the installation reference San Antonio's radio history, as well as museum technologies of the future.

Indonesia Asks for Names of Aid Workers
The request underlined the unease with which Indonesia has faced the growth of the biggest aid operation in history, replete with foreign soldiers and civilian humanitarian workers.

The the Indonesian govt is taking the correct steps.
I have been involved in logistical operations and in surveying the quality of various commercial shipments, and was greatly concerned by recent news reports of whole shipments of clothing sent to Indonesia as aid was found to contain household rubbish including torn-off women's bras, and several large metallic engraved awards among other things! I think it is appropriate to be aware of hidden dangers some 'aid' material could pose.
I welcome and appreciate all the sincere efforts made by the world community, renowned international organizations and the compassionate general public of many countries. Yes, it is an emergency situation, you have to rush aid to the suffering and to prevent further calamities like outbreaks of diseases etc. But still, no one should be allowed to dump unchecked god-knows-what in Sri Lanka and other tsunami hit areas -intentionally or unintentionally they may deliver damages as well. It seems that while some organizations could be dumping secondhand clothing, other countries and organizations are even trying to use these opportunities to get credit for 'providing aid', and to improve their image in the international community while dumping the stuff which could have been rotting in their backyards for years.
Are there any govt organizations controlling this aspect of the massive influx of aid materials in the affected countries:
I could identify some major threats:
- Clothing, toys and household items sent sometimes seems to be secondhand clothes and one has to be careful as any person with various easily transmittable decease as a skin deceases could have given them away. Usually, all European companies engaged in the SecondHand clothing trade are required to have a certificate of disinfect ion for each consignment. This usually gives details of how exactly the items had been disinfected. In Sri Lanka and Indonesia where the garments industry is thriving there shouldn't be a problem for clothing the affected people as even aid money could be used to purchase them cleaner clothes. It would be a great shame and insult if children and adults in these countries are allowed to live in soiled used clothes and suffer from unknown long-term illnesses.
- Medicines and doctors –in some countries such as former soviet countries they have very poor quality drugs and medical care, which even their own citizen refuse to use. Also counterfeit drugs, products had been improperly stored, contaminate by infections and radiation and containing dangerous elements are wide spread.
- Medical equipment and supplies – could be defective, partly used, or some products could also be contaminated by various infections, radiation and contain dangerous elements.
- Food items, there are possibilities some products had been improperly stored, contaminate by radiation and contains dangerous elements.
- Building materials – could also be contaminated by radiation and can contain dangerous elements, asbestos dust and mercury etc.
It must be made compulsory to get a preliminary approval from a quality controlling organization in Sri Lanka (after a simple detailed checking of packing lists etc) before any consignment is shipped or air lifted to SL–they should ask for more specifications and clarifications if needed.
After arrival of shipments, each consignment should be inspect for radiation contamination –(Radiation level measuring equipment are small, and very easy to use, so it shouldn't hamper the movement of aid materials to needed areas)
They should take samples from each consignment for later thorough tasting in a laboratory.
The other danger posed is to the security of these countries: The latest news I heard ( today 10th Jan) was of negotiations to charter several Russian Antonov cargo aircraft reportedly to deliver 1000's of coffins to bury the victims…the other carriers are supposed to have refused to take this cargo…. Who would need so many coffins today (10th January) when the masses of the dead are already buried? Or, is it a pretext for some other type of delivery?

burrata & heirloom tomatoes
Easy does it with this dish. I love it when a few simple ingredients do all the work for you. Food doesn't need to be complicated. Just real, fresh products are all you need, especially in the summer when the markets are bountiful and the produce screams to be eaten just the way it is... ripe, raw and juicy.
Every which way you look at the greenmarkets the vibrant colors and beautifully imperfect shapes of heirloom tomatoes grab your gaze. It's always hard for me to stop myself from buying bags full of them. Each one with a quirky shape and vibrant color, I want to decorate my kitchen with them... what a mess that would be.
Burrata's creamy texture and pure buttery flavor is to die for. I first had burrata while visiting family friends in Torino, Italy. It was our first day in Italy and we were greeted with a bounty of fresh produce, pasta and cheese shared on their sun soaked patio. It was an exceptionally lovely way to start off our time in Italy. I distinctly remember how creamy and clean the flavor was, I had been missing out! Word has spread about how scrumptious burrata is, and it can now be found quite easily (in NYC at least).
Despite being a farmer's daughter I can't say I have the greenest of thumbs, but luckily my wonderful roommate seems to know the tricks. Our windowsill garden brightens up our teeny-tiny nyc apartment, and provides us with lovely herbs to spruce up all our meals, and cocktails of course. My roommate has a hard time holding back when it comes to her mixology skills and our drinks turn into herb salads with a splash of gin. Hard to complain about that.
"I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures." - Lao Tzu
Burrata & Heirloom Salad
- a few heirloom tomatoes, sliced
- 1 ball of burrata
- fresh basil
- balsamic
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
- crusty bread, toasted
Place burrata and tomatoes on a plate or in a shallow bowl. Drizzle with olive oil & balsamic, sprinkle on a good pinch of salt and fresh ground pepper and dig in. Simply delicious.

We have facilitated a huge and energetic UK community of young people creating positive change in the world of work. Youth Employment links young people with employers, decision-makers and the world of work in a way that makes a real difference.
We have a nationwide reach of 14-24 year olds who:
- Represent youth voice at policy meetings, conferences and community events in a volunteer capacity as Youth Ambassadors
- Develop employment skills and an understanding of work culture to take ownership of their future as Young Professionals
- Represent employers and get support in the workplace as part of the Corporate Ambassador Programme
- Work on projects that are of real interest to them, developing their employability as well as a network of business contacts.

Our history
Youth Employment UK was launched in 2012 to help young people and support all those working in the youth employment space.
We know what young people need, and what they can offer employers.
Our community of young people helps to shape our work and place us in a position where we can really bridge the gap between young people and employment opportunities. Young people talk to us every day, offering inside perspectives. They tell us, from personal experience, the issues and barriers they are facing.
We offer tangible support to EVERYONE in the youth employment space.
We offer real support to young people. Very importantly, we also support all employers, organisations and policy makers who are keen to make a difference.
Our network reach of supporters and influencers is both wide and varied. We value the importance of a unified, collaborative approach to overcoming youth employment challenges.
Are you an employer, organisation or decision-maker? As an independent and impartial organisation, we actively support your efforts to work in the most youth friendly way.
We understand youth employment. In fact, we have a proven track record of expertise.
We are regularly invited to contribute time, information and research to help inform and shape policy. We work closely with the Department for Work and Pensions, the Department for Education and the Department for Business. We also have working links to the Cabinet Office and the Skills Funding Agency. Our CEO additionally sits on a number of expert panels which include two national sub-committees for the European Social Fund.
Our expertise is independent and impartial. Youth Employment UK is the Secretariat for the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Youth Employment which meets monthly to discuss the issues of youth employment. Our Community and Young Members are all invited to attend these meetings.
Our strategy
Our main purpose is to reduce youth unemployment and support every young person to progress. We work in line with the Youth Employment UK Theory of Change. Our Theory of Change centres around three key objectives, outlined below with our propositions to achieve these goals in the long term:
Young people are more prepared for the world of work.
- Young Professional Initiative
- Offering and sharing opportunities
- Information sharing
- Youth Ambassador network
Employers are better equipped to support young people and adopt the Youth Friendly Charter. Our goal is to help bring about an increase in youth friendly support and opportunities for young people.
- Networking
- Information sharing
- Policy guidance
- Youth Friendly Employment Framework
Government policy is geared towards the real needs of young people
- Youth Employment UK is the APPG Secretariat
- Surveys
- Whitepapers
- Relationships with Government departments and MPs
Our success stories
Here at Youth Employment UK we're proud of our continuing achievements, and honoured to be in a position to support so many young people as well as helping hundreds of employers become more youth friendly. Because of their involvement with Youth Employment UK, young people have gained the confidence to share their voice and attend meetings that shape policy.
Some examples where we've made a difference:
- APPG Report on Pathways from Education to Employment 2017
- #CareersCampaign for a clear and positive 21st century careers policy 2017
- Employability Skills Review 2017
- Young Professional Skills Development Programme 2016
Our successes aren't limited to reviews, reports, national surveys, free development programmes and campaigns. We create CV-boosting opportunities for our Youth Ambassadors and Young Professionals on a near-daily basis.
Here are a few opportunities we're glad to have helped make a reality:
- Patrick's trip to Poland to commentate at the European Congress of Local Governments
- Jenny and Kenechi's interview about youth unemployment on ShareRadio
… and we have so many more examples to share. In May 2017 we provided support to help young leaders attend a Franco-British Council networking day. It never stops!

Jessica + Jesse // Oahu, Hawaii Elopement
When a couple asks you to be a part of their elopement in Hawaii, the answer is always yes. I met up with Jessica and Jesse for some seafood at the pier a couple days before their elopement. These two met in Florida and now live in Hawaii since Jesse is in the navy. Jessica is a lifeguard at a beach on the east coast of Oahu. We bonded over fish tacos (Jessica's favorite) and talked about what they wanted their elopement day to look like. They wanted to break from traditional wedding festivities and instead have a relaxed day of venturing around the island and enjoying one another's company. This day was ultimately about these two alone and celebrating their love for one another. They helped each other get ready in the morning and gathered Jessica's bouquet from local flower bushes in their neighborhood. They enjoyed chicken and shrimp for supper at one of Hawaii's well known food trucks. If that doesn't sound amazing enough, they ate their wedding cake off the coast to the sound of the ocean, she sang their first dance acapella as he held her tight, and they finished the night off by releasing a lantern into the night sky. The Penners are kind, honest, down-to-earth island lovers and could not have chosen a more perfect way to celebrate their commitment to one another. If a day like this suites your personality, I'd highly recommend it.

Social media are all the rave now. And for so many- teens and celebrities alike- the day isn't complete without a photo of the face with any intriguing backdrop.

France is Europe's 'big problem', warns Mario Monti
Gallic nation threatens to blow Europe's Franco-German axis apart, warns former Italian prime minister
France has become Europe's "big problem", according to the former prime minister of Italy, who warned that anti-Brussels sentiment and the rise of populist parties in the Gallic nation threatened to blow the bloc's Franco-German axis apart.
Mario Monti – who was dubbed "Super Mario" for saving the country from collapse at the height of the eurozone debt crisis – said France's "unease" with the single currency had already created tensions between Europe's two largest economies.
"In the last few years we have seen France receding in terms of actual economic performance, in terms of complying with all the European rules, and above all in terms of its domestic public opinion – which is turning more and more against Europe," he told The Telegraph

The Vision Challenge was created by Go International for their annual Go Weekend as a way for their Interns to understand one of Go International's core values, "Vision." Since it's inception, the Vision Challenge has taken place in Rome, Paris, London, South Africa, Ecuador and many cities across the United States.
For this campaign we create a "living art piece" with people wearing blindfolds and holding signs that have various quotes on vision. We also hand out "vision tests" which have several thought provoking questions which challenge people to have vision for their life. The point of this artistic campaign is to start conversations with people, encourage them in the direction that their life is headed, and ultimately point them towards having a deeper relationship with God.

Some Girl(s) - now on DVD!
Have you seen our movie yet?
We spent much of the past year producing SOME GIRL(S) in cojnunction with our good friends at Leeden Media, and now it's out on vimeo and DVD for the world to see. SOME GIRL(S) is based on a play by Neil LaBute, directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer and shot by Rachel Morrison, and stars Adam Brody, Kristen Bell, Zoe Kazan, Mia Maestro, Jennifer Morrison and Emily Watson.
Big tip of the hat to Ben Spiegelman and the set building team at SettlersLA for making Pollution look like the worlds fanciest hotel (the movie was shot almost entirely on stage), and a big thank you to the cast, crew and supporters who helped make this journey possible.

Hey tryin to do the same sort of thing, but i can't seem to get Texmod working with AC. It works with prototype, so if anyone knows how i can get it started, it would be much apreciated
Hmmm, I added additional lines of the manual in the game description. You need to choose the 6th memory (AFAIK).
Do I need a memory block 6 or not ?
Yup, required.
If you pay attention to Altaïr, you can notice that he has slightly different clothes/swords in different memories.
There's only one skin - the last one. O.o
I dont know why, but when I click run, it opens a window called **** Happend and in that window it says Doh
Anyone know what I should do? I really want to play in damascus at night!
Please,answer as soon as you have read it.
Hmmm, everything was done as instructed?
Texmod uses DirectX, so you need to check if everything is alright with it.

Electronic medical records, that's what.[1]
As this article in Wired explains, science can't figure out how risky football is for your brain until it's able to get rid of the selection bias issue. As it stands, we are only looking at the brains of people who die with dementia. To figure out the relationship between football--pro, college, high school and Pop Warner--and long term brain disease, we need to study an accurate cross-section of football player brains that includes the healthy and the sick.
How do we get football players who die without any mental symptoms to donate their brains for research?
In the future, electronic medical records will alert doctors when their patients can advance science, raising an alert when the records indicate a history of playing football. Your GP then can ask, hey you're a organ donor, do you mind if we take a look at your brain when you're done?
1. Just to be perfectly accurate, the incentives and requirements that are pushing adoption of electronic medical records by physicians in the United States were not actually part of the Affordable Care Act. The stimulus act of 2009 included incentives and changes to Medicare contain the requirements.

Part One - Prep - The four part wedding photographer./
So shooting a wedding sounds like a lot of work, partly because it is. I break my clients wedding day down into four different sections which help me concentrate on the moments and not the entirety of the day at all times. Included in this breakdown are some awesome tips which will help your clients fall in love with you.
First part: Prep
This is where everyone is getting ready, getting prepped for the day. The brides maids are first on the docket, getting hair and make-up done. Mimosas and bagels are usually plenty if not sandwiches and cheese platters. The details are still in the air, who's swinging by this place and picking up that or who has the keys to the hotel room and lots of fun hectic stuff.
I like to use this time to hang out and get to know the bridesmaids better, after all we'll be spending the day together. I typically set up my laptop in a corner or somewhere out of the way (I'll talk about this more soon). I bring in my camera equipment and take a walk around the location. I usually give everyone a heads up that I'll be taking photos. Typically everyone will say to me that they don't have make up on and to wait, I usually shoot them down by telling them about how good the before and after is going to be. The ladies usually look just fine, in the case that they don't it's usually because they've had a wild night.
I like to ask how everyone knows the bride and typically parents are there too and will sometimes have fun and embarrassing stories to keep the mood light and fun. I always accept food offered and you should too. Imagine if you made some awesome sandwiches or cookies and offered it to someone and they looked at it and then back at you and said no. I know we're not always in the mode for certain foods but this is a nice little gesture that they are giving you so run with it. So if there are kids in the wedding which commonly they are then I suggest giving them a little bit of attention. I usually let them use my small mirror less camera for a little bit or hold my big camera if they are sitting down. Once I let them play with my camera they are usually more apt to give me those smiles later in the day.
So I'm shooting candids of the the ladies getting ready and chatting. I'm taking photos of the kids that are running around or the mother who's making phone calls to make sure everyone is on their way or other details. Once I have enough photos I go back to my laptop. I download my current photos and pick through them for a few minutes. Now I get to show the bride and bridesmaids and family some previews. I'm showing them how awesome they look and once that happens everyone starts to relax a bit more because they now have the understanding that I kick ass with a camera.
So all this controlled chaos is happening and there are only so many photos you can take of everyone before it starts to feel invasive. This is a great opportunity to get those wonderful detail shots. The dress is usually near by as well as shoes, flowers and the rings sometimes.
I'll take the shoes and dress somewhere more pleasing to the eye, a tree or more groomed room of the house or location. The rings I take macro shots of and the trick to never losing them is using my pinky finger, I'm not always the prettiest ring model but I've never lost any rings in my care. The flowers I typically place in a tree or on a stone wall or sometimes just a nice table in the backyard. The shoes I will sometimes pair with the dress and can be hung anywhere.
So the bridesmaids should be wrapping up with hair and make-up. The bride is always final when it comes to that stuff, we want her makeup and hair to be nice, fresh and ready for the big moment. So I usually get photos of the hair process which is done first and then make-up. I like close-up photos of lipstick being applied and eye liner being dressed on as well as photos of her hair. The hair dresser usually likes having these photos too as well as the make-up artist. Now is the moment of truth, you need photos of the guys!!!
So I've saved the guys section for last and theres a very good reason for it, it only takes them a few minutes to get ready. I usually save them for last or get to them first. I don't do the whole relaxed thing of sitting around and waiting for them. The guys aren't into the entire photo process sometimes so it's much easier to stage them. I'll have the guys get dressed and then they can always take off the clothes afterwards if time allows.
So here's a list of shots that I like to cover. I sit the groom down and have him get his shoes on, this of course is after he has his pants on. I have the groomsmen help each other with ties, bow ties, shirts and jackets. These allow for some tender moments between everyone. I'll also do some of them joking around and then maybe some photos of them on their front steps if it's at their houses or some photos with mom and dad. This all happens very quick because it's all staged. My main focus is on the bride because it's her big day and her moms big day as well because she's been waiting for this for a long time. This is fairy tale time and we're part of it.
So thats the first part of the photos, make sure to get photos of all the chaos too. Next part is the ceremony and i'll have that posted soon.

The new AmeriCares Free Clinic of Stamford launched amid fanfare in January with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at AmeriCares headquarters. The clinic is open three days a week, making scheduled stops at Neighbors Link on Selleck Street, New Covenant House of Hospitality soup kitchen on Fairfield Avenue and Domus on Lockwood Avenue.
The clinic offers the same services as our other three locations including primary care and pre-employment physicals. More than 30 volunteers are supporting the program, which provided nearly 600 patient visits in the first five months of operation.
Patients come seeking treatment for hypertension, diabetes and gastrointestinal problems as well as for the aches and pains that are common among the working poor with physical jobs requiring heavy lifting. Others feel fine but want a medical professional to confirm there are no health problems to cause concern.
"Some patients haven't seen a physician in more than decade," said Stamford Clinic Director Muguette Maignan. "We begin treatment immediately if indicated, but sometimes they just need that peace of mind that everything is OK because medical care has been out of reach for so long."
The mobile unit is the first free clinic in the city where nearly one out of every five residents is uninsured and the local hospital has one of the highest rates of uncompensated care in the state.
It is expected to provide 1,200 patient visits and about $900,000 in free health care services in its first year.
