i heard a scouser tune today for dirk kuiyt to the tune of put your hand up for detroit (recent dance tune) put your hands up for dirk kuiyt he loves this city! feel free to add ones for utd or any other teams
That's a great chant. Simple and catchy. The best one I heard was to the tune of blame it on the boogey a few years back. Dont blame it on Hamann Dont blame it on Biscan Dont blame it on Finnan Blame it on Traore He just cant, He just cant, He just cant control his feet.
I also recall the chant at Van Persie a while ago when he was charged with sexual assault. To the tune of the Craig David rewind song Van Per sie, when a girl says no molesteher!!
The best chant was after Houllier had a heart attack in a 12.45pm kick off. A mere 2 hours later the Everton fans had formed a classic chant of.... (to the tune of who let the dogs out?) Who had a heart attack....Hou...Houllier
Or another way to chant Put your hands up, Put your hands up, Put your hands up for Dirk Kuyt! His finishing's shitty...
Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Bowyer, Oooh! Ah! We want to knooooooow, why your not in jail! i forgot the name of the tune it is sang to but i think most will clock on.

Revealed: A View Of The Brooklyn Bridge, Just Steps From Bryant Park
Jotham Sederstrom July 20, 2012, 5 p.m.
Earlier today, The Commercial Observer posted images of building artwork in an effort to sharpen your memory and give you the opportunity to prove your worth as a broker, or, for that matter, an art snob. After the jump, the answers you've been awaiting all day.
The building, 1430 Broadway, sits less than one block away from Bryant Park on 40th Street. The mosaic pictured below, featuring a portion of the Brooklyn Bridge, is by the commercial art studio Unicorn Art Studio.

Alright guys, I know this topic is discussed to death, but after someone replied to my other thread saying that he had overcome pe by masturbating and learning to last longer by himself, it got me to thinking if other people had done it too. The reason why I ask is that I am single also and would really like to know if this works and if somebody has tested this with a partner.

I would say that in most cases learning to do this on your own will not work. The reason is that it has nothing to do with control yourself when you're alone, it has to do with controlling yourself when you're simultaneously trying to engage someone else who has different levels of excitetation. You may get a bit of control trying it yourself, but not much. The only system of training I've heard of that may work for you is to work with your partner. You have them start by masturbating, then stopping, then practice orally, then move to vaginal, and what you do is each time you get close, you stop. You learn to last longer over time, but this method can take quite awhile. I've found that for me the best thing was to learn to maintain an erection after orgasm so I can continue. This way, I don't worry about doing it before and even if I do I just keep going and it doesn't even matter. I found that over time, and not even that long maybe only a few times, I was able to last longer simply because I was no longer worrying about the end result, merely the process since it didn't stop if I finished first.

Cheshire High School girls' basketball (9-9; 5-2 in Housatonic Division) won 42-37 on Monday at Sheehan (8-8; 3-4), avenging a 57-47 home loss from Jan. 11. CHS secured at least a share of the Housatonic crown for the third year in a row. The Lady Rams led 22-12 at halftime and converted eight of nine foul shots during the fourth quarter to hold off the Titans. Senior Lauren Como (11), junior Missy Bailey (eight), and sophomore Sara Como (seven) were top point scorers. Junior BryAnna McIntosh and sophomore Jill Howard added six. Senior Emma Gorham and Junior Lily Dolyak scored two.
Lauren Como, Gorham, fellow captain Molly Jalbert, and Ariel Greene will be honored before tonight's Senior Night against Amity (11-6; 4-3) at 7 p.m. Amity came from behind to win 48-40 on Jan. 18. With a victory on Tuesday, Cheshire would clinch the division title outright.
The final regular season home game is Cheshire's National Coaches vs. Cancer game. The girls will wear pink and accept donations for the American Cancer Society.
Boys' Basketball (8-7; 5-2)
Wilbur Cross scored 20 of the final 29 points of a 68-59 road win over the Rams. Cheshire rallied from a 28-26 halftime deficit, but Cross still swept the season series. Senior Eric Dietrich and junior Collin Jordan netted 16 points. Sophomore Andrew Yamin made three three-pointers among his 11 points. Dietrich, senior Erik Pettit (eight points), and junior Tom Arisco (six points) each made a pair of three-pointers. Junior Tyler Post had two points.
Juniors Chan Williams Bey Jr. and Joshua Fleming supplied 21 and 18 points, respectively, for Wilbur Cross.
Wednesday is the boys' National Coaches vs. Cancer game. Cheshire hosts Wilby (13-2) at 7 p.m.

As many of you may already know I was a big fan of the Kohjinsha dual-screen netbook, a similar device recently showed up at CES 2010, this device is MSI's dual screen tablet concept.
The device itself looks very similar to Asus' upcoming Eee Reader, however at the moment it is just a concept, therefore it is subject to change.
The concept does not have an official name yet, however it is said to run Windows 7 and will feature dual 10-inch touchscreen displays, one of which will be capable of displaying a virtual keyboard.
It is said to utilize Intel's Menlow low consumption processor and will store data on a SSD, I would expect the device to offer a wide-range of connectivity, however as it is a concept nothing has been confirmed.
As you would expect the device has no release date or pricing details, however as details emerge we will keep you informed, for more details check out PocketLint.

As a teacher of National Security Policy, I anxiously awaited the release of the Baker-Hamilton report on Iraq – to use as a policy example for my students. The night before its release, 'twas not visions of sugarplums that danced in my head, but these thoughts: "Will the group's recommendations finally help focus this country on international policy? Can we finally agree on the important issues we must band together to solve?
I awoke early to get the newspaper. Coffee fueled, I scanned the headlines – moving the Intrepid, spammers find new ways to penetrate e-mail folders, New York City bans trans fats … What the …?
I couldn't believe it. In the midst of one of the nation's most difficult crises, New York City (of all places) was media saturated with trans fats!

Diablo III Coming on May 15
by Craig Getting on March 15, 2012 9:29 AM ESTAfter a few delays and many recitations of Blizzard's "We'll release it when it's ready" mantra, Diablo III finally has a release date: May 15th. On that date, Blizzard's click-heavy action RPG will be available on PC and Mac for $59.99 USD in almost every region. Latin American and Russian players will need to wait until June 7th.
Digital presales for Diablo III start today, World of Warcraft players interested in picking up a free copy may still do so by purchasing a WoW Annual Pass before May 1st.
For interested parties, Blizzard will also be selling a Diablo III Collector's Edition for $99.99. The retail exclusive package includes a behind-the-scenes Blu-ray/DVD set, a soundtrack CD, a 208-page art book, and a 4GB USB trinket carrying full versions of Diablo II and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. It will also come with exclusive content for Diablo III, World of Warcraft, and Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty – most likely in-game items along the lines of a WoW minipet.
The press release touts Diablo III's real money auction house and robust Battle.net-based matchmaking, yet it makes no mention of the planned player-versus-player arena. This is likely because Diablo III will be launching without it. "The PvP game and systems aren't yet living up to our standards," Blizzard's Jay Wilson wrote on Battle.net last week. "After a lot of consideration and discussion, we ultimately felt that delaying the whole game purely for PvP would just be punishing to everyone who's waiting to enjoy the campaign and core solo/co-op content."

D3 another hack'n'slash that will shine in builds and item raiding. That's about it. Sadly Blizz has never evolved from its past and keeps drumming the same recipe under the guise of a modern graphical engine. The same can be said about S2, the same APM dependent basehopping RTS. Relic does it much better with its Company of Heroes.
Don't murder me, I've played their games once like a maniac. Reply -

Relic RTS were always "ok" and they only got worse with DOW2. I'm so happy Blizzard has been killing it with SC2, a superior game in every way IMO Reply

LG Electronics announced that its new 84-inch 3D Ultra Definition Television (UDTV) will be available in October for $19,999.99.
For more information visit: www.lg.com
Unedited press release follows:
LG Electronics Announces U.S. Availability Of First 84-inch Class 'Ultra-Definition' TV
LG's Display Boasts Four Times the Pixel Resolution Of Full HD, Sets New Picture Quality Standard for Large-Screen TVs
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 7, 2012 — LG Electronics today announced U.S. availability for its enormous 84-inch (84.04 inch diagonal) LED display, boasting a native "ultra definition" (UD) screen resolution of 3840 x 2160 to match its impressive size*.
The gigantic 84-inch screen quadruples the level of detail from full 1080p HD resolution to a massive 8 million pixels. Even before so-called "4K" content is available, LG's proprietary Resolution Upscaler Plus delivers higher detail from current HD/SD external sources. A major step forward for the display industry, ultra-definition TV makes use of the screen real estate available with today's largest-size flat panels, much like the jump from 720p to 1080p years ago. The LG UD 84LM9600 is expected to be available in October at an MSRP of $19,999.99.
Gary Yacoubian, chairman of the Consumer Electronics Association's 4K Working Group and president and CEO, Specialty Technologies/SVSound, said, "I couldn't be more excited about ultra-definition 4K technology and its potential to energize our entire industry; 4K is the next big thing in television, literally. First there was analog, then digital – standard-definition, then high-definition (HDTV). Now, with four times the pixel resolution of today's HDTVs, ultra-HD technology promises to transform the home entertainment experience on giant displays, truly recreating the movie theater in your living room."
"Ultra-definition television will transform the giant-screen viewing experience in the years ahead, and LG is proud to bring this new technology to market so that discerning U.S. consumers can enjoy a fully immersive home theater experience," said Jay Vandenbree, senior vice president, home entertainment, LG Electronics USA, Inc. "Beyond just the ability to produce gigantic screens, it's important that LG offers its consumers a feature-rich TV packed with Smart TV, 3D capability, a 2.2 channel built-in speaker system and the remarkable detail of 4K. The 84LM9600 epitomizes LG's design and innovation prowess."
Under the Hood
Beyond the 84-inch screen, this model features LG's CINEMA 3D technology, which provides a comfortable 3D viewing experience similar to what consumers experience in the theater. LG CINEMA 3D utilizes polarized technology, with lightweight, inexpensive and shutter free glasses (six included in the box). For ultimate comfort, consumers can customize the 3D effect to their preference with 3D Depth Control.
Also included is LG Smart TV, which offers users access to thousands of proprietary apps, premium content services including Netflix, Hulu Plus and more**. LG Smart TV features LG's "3D World," where users can access blockbuster 3D content. Users can easily browse and navigate through the Smart TV ecosystem using LG's four-mode Magic Remote, which acts as an air mouse with point and click, gesture commands, a scroll wheel and voice recognition. LG's proprietary dual-core L9 processor chipset offers ultra-fast processing speeds for shorter load and lag time when streaming content.
LG's new UD 3D TV includes a wealth of connectivity options to make access to content even easier. In addition to built-in Wi-Fi, it supports Intel's Wireless Display (WiDi) technology, which enables easy and quick connectivity between TVs and PCs without the need for cables or Internet access. With Smart Share Plus, users can access content stored on external devices such as PCs, tablets and smartphones through a portal on the TV. This model supports the Mobile High-definition Link (MHL) standard, for easy content sharing between the TV and mobile devices and the ability to charge devices via the connection. Finally, the 84LM9600 includes a portal to the LG Cloud, so consumers can access their personal content, such as pictures, home video and music libraries uploaded to the LG Cloud.
*No "ultra definition" or "4K" content is currently available. No broadcast or other standard currently exists for "4K" or "ultra definition" television, and the 84LM9800 may or may not be compatible with such standards if and when developed.
**Internet connection and certain subscriptions required and sold separately. Content and services vary by product and are subject to change without notice.
For a small percentage of the population, the viewing of stereoscopic 3D video may cause discomfort such as dizziness or nausea. If you experience any of these symptoms, discontinue using the 3D functionality and contact your health care provider.

Top Part of agitator does not work properly
Model Number: KAWE570BWH1 Brand: Whirlpool Age: 5 - 10 years
The agitator is made in two parts. The bottom part seems to be working properly but the top part is barely moving at all. Could the top part possibly be tightened? Related Models |

You most likely have a worn out set of agitator"dogs". Part number: AP3138838 The top part cannot be tightenned, it is desighned to "float" and drive the auger / screw part of the agitator. If the dogs wear out, they dont grip the auger and it barely moves. You may even want to consider a new "complete" agitator. But , that's where you want to start. Either way, To remove the agitator, You'll need to remove the top agitator cap or softner dispenser. Remove the plastic shield under the cap. With the shield removed you will see a 7/16" hex head bolt, in the center of the assembly,remove the bolt. You now need to lift up on the auger/screw assembly, it will lift out as a complete assembly, and repair/replace the "dog" assembly, or remove the lower portion and replace the agitator complete assembly. Good Luck,

Wedding or Wedding Shower Card
First of all, I totally cased This Card by Amanda Corbet. I just think it's the sweetest card ever. I thought I would try and use some tule and make a veil on my owl bride, but I just couldn't get it to lay right, I know it could be done, but I didn't have any more time. I've got a bridal shower to go to this weekend. Her wedding colors are grey and black, so this was perfect. I think I like Amanda's card better. I might have to sneak in a few minutes and try again.

Withywindle of Athens and Jerusalem agrees that social conservatism implies middle-class values but disagrees that we can use the word "bourgeois" to describe these values in the American context. Too French? I'm all for accepting that French words exist in English--just because they're not keen on returning the favor doesn't mean we have to follow suit. But the point of this post is that middle-class/bourgeois values showed up in a big way in last night's Gossip Girl. Serena's uptight mother finally came around about Dan Humphrey, her rebel-socialite daughter's non-high-society boyfriend. She tells Dan that since Serena's started seeing him, she comes home at a reasonable hour, doesn't drink, and doesn't do drugs. He's what's known as a Good Influence, the dream of every teen parent, on-screen and off-. Dan, who is middle class-ish, brings Serena the middle-class values she so desperately needs, because as we all know by now she's not getting them from her mom or Blair, certainly not from Chuck... In the very same episode, which was, I should note, a bit more interesting than the accompanying pasta, Dan's mother, who has recently reappeared after some fling or other, also imposes middle-class values, announcing that Dan's sister, Little J, is grounded and cannot go to a debutante ball. To be grounded is, of course, very bourgeois. The other characters are above the middle-class law and can go anywhere they want, whenever they want, so long as they marry and go to college in ways that conform with what's needed to stay in the upper class.
But is the Humphrey family really as bourgeois as all that? The father is an aging rock musician, and he lives in Williamsburg. The mother, an artist, sleeps around, literally, and only lives with her husband and children when it suits her. That they nevertheless send their kids to school on the Upper East Side suggests that they might be bourgeois bohemians, but the more likely possibility is that... wait for it... the show makes no sense whatsoever.

Decadence and realism

Fame! Fortune! A blog-post reference!
Truly, I can't remember any American outside of a small set of humanities-educated college graduates who use the word "bourgeois." Nor "intelligentsia." I don't think most Americans find the concept strange, just the word choice.
My TV addiction of choice, however, is Heroes. I think one could argue for middle-class values here and there in the show--but I wouldn't go overboard on the argument. Noah Bennett is a Good, Responsible Father--and a Hitman for a Secret Corporation Seeking to Control the World or Something Even More Sinister. A little sui generis to be an exemplar for the masses. - Thursday, December 06, 2007 4:37:00 PM
I have not seen the show - But I can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that the reason a good work like "bourgeois" is not used more is that it has a Marxist taint - after being a rhetorical trope on the left for so long.
That's the politics of it. Even in France, Segolene was mocked for calling marriage a bourgeois value.
Can you imagine if HRC used that word - say when describing her love for Falubert or Balzac? - Friday, December 07, 2007 10:17:00 AM
Excuse the typos above - Good spelling is a false bourgeois value anyway.

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill says he is not surprised the club are in a relegation battle.
After losing to 2-1 to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, coupled with Aston Villa's win over Reading, Sunderland find themselves just six points clear of the relegation zone with nine games left to play.
O'Neill believes his team have not done enough to secure maximum points in games they have controlled, and believes the remaining matches will be very tough.
"I'm not surprised at all (at the prospect of fighting for survival)," O'Neill told reporters.
"I knew right from the off it was going to be very, very tough and it's been like that all season, every game we play.
"In the last number of games we've played my own view is we shouldn't have been beaten in these games.
"We put severe pressure on Arsenal, couldn't get the ball over the line, at West Bromwich Albion I thought any piece of luck going was going with the home team.
"But you can say that forever and a day, we have to turn it (around)."
O'Neill also believes an injury crisis at an unfortunate point in the season has limited his ability to change games with substitutions, and cited the QPR defeat as a case in point.
"We had a lot of defenders on the bench but at the moment that's all we have," he said.
"(Lee) Cattermole is injured, (Wes) Brown's been out all season so we can discount that.
"The only other one we had is James McClean, who was ill. He got let out of hospital around about 11 o'clock on Saturday morning having spent the last two days on a drip.
"We had a lot of defenders on the bench but that wasn't anything planned, that was just lack of choice."

Justin King has stepped down as chief executive of Sainsbury's after 10 years at the helm, claiming he wants to leave at the top and warning that he had seen too many chief executives stay on too long.
The 52-year-old will hand over the reins to the current commercial director Mike Coupe at the company's annual meeting in July, having helped the chain regain its place as the UK's second-biggest supermarket and record 36 consecutive quarters of like-for-like growth.
Mr King has waived a £1.7m pay-off he would have been entitled to, but could still receive a deferred share award worth around £3m, and is eligible for long-term share awards over the next few years.
He also walks away with a personal shareholding in the company worth £4.5m at today's share price.
He said: "Succession is something we have been actively engaged in for the past three or four years. I believe transition doesn't work if you leave it too late. I think a two-term presidency can be a very good thing in politics and I think it could work in business too. The decision was entirely mine. I've observed businesses where leaders have stayed too long.
"It's not an easy decision to make. Emotionally I've invested 10 years of my life into this supermarket but part of the leadership is knowing the right time to step down and now is that time.
"I hope the judgement of history of my time at Sainsbury's is that I leave it in a great place."
The former Asda executive, who has also worked for Mars and advised the Government, said he has no plans for his future and has yet to talk with any other companies. Some have suggested he may want to go into politics, since he has been an outspoken critic of several key policies, including business rates, online taxes and internet giants using tax avoidance tactics.
He said he plans to move to a new career, but has yet to decide where he will look or in which sector. He added:"I think I'm a relatively young man. I'm sure the right opportunity will come along and I'll know what it is when I see it."
Mr King has been linked with the top job at Marks & Spencer, where the current chief executive, Marc Bolland, is under pressure. However, he said his contract stipulates that he cannot take on a job with any rival grocers, including M&S, for at least a year. He said he has been "definitely 100 per cent focused on my job at Sainsbury's and have not talked to anyone about any job."
Since joining Sainsbury's in 2004 Mr King was tasked with saving the supermarket, which had previously been the biggest in the country.
Years of under-investment had left its stores shabby and staff demotivated. He rebranded the business and started winning back customers from Tesco, Asda and Morrisons. Sales have soared from £15.5bn in 2004 to £25.6bn last year, although profits have barely risen, with underlying pre-tax profits in 2003 at £675m, compared with £756m last year.
He joined when the current business model was arguably unsustainable and took a big hit in 2004/5, as profits plunged to £254m.

Wales and England - AMAZING. We arrived on Friday 16th October. We launched straight into sightseeing mode and went directly to the Roman Baths in Bath. What a groovy town Bath is. The next day was the Dr Who Experience in Cardiff. This probably rated as James' most favourite tourist attraction. That afternoon Paul and James went to the Semi Final of New Zealand v France.

Proteas rely on resilience, grit
'We still havent been beaten'
Dominated by Australia for much of the epic, drawn Adelaide Test will feel like more of a victory for Graeme Smith's injury-hit Proteas, whose batsmen turned a seemingly hopeless cause into a brilliant save on the final day.
The series remains locked at 0-0 after Brisbane and Adelaide, and South Africa's status as the top-ranked test side will be re-examined in Perth when the final match begins on Friday.
The Proteas skipper, however, paid credit to the resilience of his players, who remain unbeaten on tour since Feb. 2010.
"It's really a strengthening point for us considering we haven't played very well," Smith said of the Adelaide draw.
"We had another couple of big injuries in this Test match that created a little bit of hassle for us and we still managed to scrape through after not being in great positions.
"We haven't been at our best but we still haven't been beaten, and that's a very rewarding feeling for us."
Having already lost all-rounder JP Duminy for the series with an Achilles injury, the Proteas withdrew frontline paceman Vernon Philander from Adelaide after he pulled up with a back injury.
All-rounder Jacques Kallis strained a hamstring early on day one to compound South Africa's woes, but the 37-year-old battled on to score a half-century to help his team avoid the follow-on and then a gritty 38 in the fourth innings.
Duminy's injury opened the door for Faf du Plessis to produce a sensational debut, with 78 in the first innings and superb century in the second to guide South Africa to safety on day five and earn man-of-the-match honours.
Philander's replacement Rory Kleinveldt also made the most of his opportunity, taking three wickets to be the pick of South Africa's bowlers in the second innings after a wicketless debut in Brisbane.
Kleinveldt's performance, along with a dogged effort from paceman Morne Morkel, did gloss over a patchy Test for South Africa's bowlers, who were blasted for 482 runs on day one.
Queries over Dale Steyn's fitness remain after he had treatment for a leg strain.
Legspinner Imran Tahir's international career is under threat after he went wicketless for 260 runs, the most runs conceded without taking a wicket in Test cricket.
Philander is expected to be fully fit for Perth, but Smith had his fingers crossed that Kallis could be retained, despite the team's doctor all but ruling him out.
"To watch him be able to still perform with the bat was a crucial factor in the game," said Smith. "He played two very important knocks and his experience and skill definitely shone through,'' he added.

Remember when I told you about how I hate wearing flat shoes? It's true, I would rather give up makeup than go anywhere but the gym or the beach without heels. According to Madeline, being "hardcore pregnant" also calls for sensible footwear as does "pushing a stroller."
Some people find the idea of wearing uncomfortable shoes every day oppresive, but I feel better with a few extra inches so I'm willing to compromise. Besides, walking in high heels gets easier the more you do it.

ABB Parts Fingerprint Service Identifies Inventory Opportunities
Source: ChemicalProcessing.com
Jun 21, 2010
ABB recently released its Parts Fingerprint, a spare parts management optimization service for critical ABB process automation systems and products. The Parts Fingerprint reviews the effectiveness of existing spare parts management practices and identifies potential risk associated with insufficient stock, over stock, out-of-date inventory, and end of lifecycle issues.
"This service is another way we are helping our customers to get the most value out of their existing equipment, while site personnel focus on other critical areas," says James Crowl, VP Parts, Repair and Support Services. "Most customers do not have resources dedicated to parts management; this service proactively identifies areas that need attention before problems occur, while saving customers time and money."
The service includes an on-site spare parts inventory validation, and comprehensive analysis of stock conditions, status, stocking levels, version management, warranty management, part criticality, and historical parts usage. Existing processes and conditions are compared with ABB established best practices.

In memoriam ...
... Laura Huxley has died: Widow of Aldous Huxley preserved his legacy. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
3 comments:
It is a long-lived family. Malcolm was recently at a symposium given in honour of the 90th birthday of Sir Andrew Huxley - who won the Nobel prize (with Alan Hodgkin) for working out nerve conduction, then switched to muscle and worked out how force is generated. He has slowed down a bit these days, but he still takes an interest in how the field is going, and has inspired many a young scientist.

Wallace and Gromit, our favorite clay-modeled inventor and his beagle, take a break from cheese enthusiasm to become baking entrepreneurs. The thirty-minute short film A Matter of Loaf and Death will debut on BBC ONE in December, and be released on DVD next year.
Business is booming at their "Top Bun" bakery—where facilities include robotic kneading arms—until a cereal killer gets loose. Gromit is nervous (but can only make petrified facial expressions since he lacks an actual mouth for talking) while the endearingly absent-minded Wallace is in la-la land, pining for Piella Bakewell, a former Bake-O-Lite bread commercial star. This is the duo's first showing since the Oscar-winning film The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit in 2005. [via Kottke]

So, I have a new sewing scheme in life. Weeknights I work on the Single Girl. I have tunnel vision. (Except when I'm writing posts...or reading blogs...or watching tv...you get the idea.)
On the weekends, I let myself work on other random projects. Weekend quickies, if you will. Last weekend I cut into my Half Moon Modern (and a few solids) to make this:
I love it! Partly because I love this fabric line and partly because it made me feel super productive to make a whole quilt top in 2 days. (2 days! WHAT?!?!) It will become quilt 1 of 2 for twin girls that are still incubating. For twins, I like to make quilts that are similar but not the same so I'm not going to use tumblers for the other one. Since the weekend is almost here again (woohoo!) I have to pick another shape toute suite. Any ideas?

Okay, I didnt mean to submit that comment.... i wasnt done. smh. Anyhoo, i really, really like the message "Dont dishonor your desire." I think too often we try to pretend, to others and to ourselves, that we dont want something when we really do. It's definitely dishonoring God. I think when you can be true to yourself, and speak those words to yourself and others, you are increasing the likelihood of it manifesting.

Traipsing, travel and scorched trachea's...
Trip Start

Where I stayed
House of Joshua
The day started 07.45 with our empty vans making the swift journey over the mountains to Sofia to rendezvous with Tedy at our warehouse. With Mimi and Rich at the wheels we carved our way gracefully through the Sofian rush hour like a pair of dancers giving a prize winning performance on Strictly. Actually we got stuck in every jam, tussled with BMW driving, cigar smoking Mafia types and played chicken with trams and trolley-buses as usual.
After loading the vans with 550 Christmas boxes we set out for the city of Stara Zagora, some 250km away. After bouncing half across Bulgaria we were to meet up with our friends at World Without Borders, our partner organisation in SZ. Gancho, Milena, Marika and Toni gave us a truly warm welcome (as ever, this includes rakia- a double distilled whisky that can be 60% and you must not even inhale if you want to drive and will take out the back of your throat unless sampled with care) and told us about the Roma community in the city. There are 32,000 people living in an illegal settlement at the edge of the city, all Roma, many living in desperate poverty. Time being against us we did not have much time to look around but the WWB team told us some very disturbing things about a community that preys upon itself with the most vulnerable members being exploited by the criminals that live amongst them.
There are some really startling figures that WWB have collected about the community. They know that at least 26 babies were born to twelve year old girls, over 80 to under sixteen's. In Roma society girls are only valued in the context of marriage and having babies. A girl who is over 20 years old and is unmarried is often treated as if there is something unusual about her and men may well consider her too old to marry. Many young girls are forced into prostitution and so there is a very high rate of STD's and abortions. These procedures are usually carried out in secret without medical assistance. Of 100 women WWB surveyed all of them had had an abortion with 13% having had three or more. 100 boys surveyed with the question "What do you want to do for a job?" gave a result of 76 claiming that they wanted to pimps. How does this community even hold together? The pimps, drug dealers and money lenders live amongst the people they exploit; their houses are easy to spot. Big gates, nice cars (nearly always black) and huge size compared to the run down houses and shacks that are home for most of the residents.
WWB run health care programs for the members of the community. Women in particular are targeted in order to break down the mistrust that exists between Roma and regular Bulgarians that all too often means that Roma women do not seek or receive the medical care that they need, especially when pregnant. Many women do not visit a doctor at all during their pregnancies and as a result many complications and problems are left unresolved, leading to a higher infant mortality rate than the regular population.
How can a few Christmas boxes make a difference here, in this place? The truth is really that they are the means to an end. WWB is a local organisation, made of people who have either grown up in the area or lived there many years. These boxes will help them to show their neighbours that they care and lead to further contact and help for vulnerable families and individuals contacted during the distribution which will take place quietly over the run up to Christmas. The WWB team were tremendously touched by the generosity of the people of Salisbury and want to say a big "thank you" to those who made up gifts. In the weeks to come we will bring you pictures and stories from Stara Zagora and The Trussell Trust will continue to support WWB in their efforts to turn the impossible tide...

This plugin allows you to give groups of cached data a "generation" - like a version number, which becomes part of the cache key. This number is stored under its own key in memcached and can be incremented as a way of clearing/invalidating the cache for members of this group.
This is an alternative to symfony's built in removePattern() method, which for memcached relies on storing an array of all known cache keys in memcached (storeCacheInfo: true). This can grow very large and impact performance - prior to symfony 1.2.10 the size grows indefinitely as items are never removed.
The method used in this plugin performs significantly better than the symfony built in method on an application that maintains a cache of around 200k items.
It should be noted that this plugin doesn't allow you to be as specific when clearing cache as the built in symfony method does, as it doesn't know all of the keys. Therefore, it may not be suitable for every use case.
The plugin will probably only help you if you are using memcached as your cache backend - for notes regarding other backends, see the appendix at the bottom.
Install the plugin
symfony plugin:install sfGenerationMemcachePlugin
Edit filters.yml
Edit your application's config/factories.yml so that your app uses the plugin's view cache manager and view cache classes:
class: sfGenerationViewCacheManager
class: sfGenerationMemcacheCache
host: localhost # this and the next few lines configure the memcached server - change these to suit your environment
port: 11211
prefix: frontend
persistent: true
Clear cache
symfony cc
For the plugin to do anything, you must configure generation_group keys in the relevant cache.yml file(s)
An example module/config/cache.yml config would be:
enabled: on
generation_group: profile
generation_group: [ profile, home ] # an array can be given to apply multiple generation groups to a cache
lifetime: 86400
If you are configuring your caching from PHP, you can pass a generationGroup option to the ViewCacheManager's addCache method. The above examples would be:
sfContext::getInstance()->getViewCacheManager()->addCache('module', 'show', array(
'lifeTime' => 3600,
'generationGroup' => 'profile',
This also accepts arrays of generation groups:
sfContext::getInstance()->getViewCacheManager()->addCache('module', 'index', array(
'lifeTime' => 3600,
'generationGroup' => array('profile', 'home'),
The config in the yaml above will cause cache keys generated for module/show to be suffixed with:
And those generated for module/index to be suffixed with:
Those for module/archive are untouched as it has no generation_group set.
If the generation is incremented for the home generation group, the cache key for module/show remains unchanged, its cache will still be valid. The cache key for module/index will change though, it will now be suffixed with
The cache key has now changed, so the cached data will be regenerated for this action (as well as any others that specify the home generation group) - the cache has effectively been cleared for members of this generation group.
Similarly, if the generation is then incremented for the profile generation group, the cache key for module/show gets suffixed with
and that for module/index gets suffixed with
In this case, the cache keys of both items have now changed and so both caches will be recreated.
In both of the above examples, the cache key for module/archive would be unchanged.
You may be wondering about leaving all this data in cache under old keys, and whether its a good idea. Memcached takes care of this for us: It auto expires old items from cache according to the valid times set in cache.yml. It also removes the least recently used items from memory if it runs out of free memory. This should always be the older generations of cached data. Therefore, you shouldn't run into issues as long as you have configured memcached with a sensible memory limit.
There are two ways to increment the generation for a particular generation group:
From the ViewCacheManager
The sfGenerationNewCacheManager provides a method to increment the generation for a particular generation group:
// increment the profile generation group
$cachemanager = sfContext::getInstance()->getViewCacheManager();
There is also a wrapper method that can be passed an array of generation groups to increment the generation for.
// increment the profile and home generation groups
$cachemanager = sfContext::getInstance()->getViewCacheManager();
$cachemanager->incrementGenerationGroups(array('profile', 'home'));
Using the command line task
The plugin comes with a task to increment the generation for a given generation group:
// increment the home generation group
symfony cache:increment-generation home
This task takes an optional environment and application parameter.
// increment the home generation in the dev environment for the frontend app.
symfony cache:increment-generation --env=prod --app=frontend home
Default environment is dev, default app is frontend.
Thats it - hope someone finds it useful! Any questions, my email is on the front page, or for a quicker response, twitter me - @benlumley
This plugin has been designed to be used with memcached (hence the name), however, it could be used with other cache backends:
The default file based cache should not be used with this method in my view - it does not auto-invalidate as the memory based systems do, so the cache would consume ever more disk space. The file based cache also does not suffer the performance issue this was designed to address. I believe this would also apply to SqlIte
APC, eAccelerator and Xcache all have methods to obtain a list of keys in the cache (meaning symfony doesn't store a list of them itself), so are unlikely to benefit from this method to the same degree, but developers may benefit from the functionality it offers. In this case it may be worth adapting the plugin. Creation of an increment method in a copy of the relevant sfXXXCache.class.php file from symfony/lib/vendor/cache should be all that is required, plus a change to factories.yml. The increment method is simply required to store an integer value in the cache under a passed in key, or add 1 to the existing value if it already exists. If anyone does this, contact me, and I will add you as a devloper to this plugin so that the extra functionality can be included.

As memories of New Year's Eve fade, and another Inauguration Day winds down in Washington, D.C., it's time to look ahead and identify key events and emerging trends that we think will help shape the business and human rights agenda in 2013.
Here are five developments that we'll be watching closely:
Further integration of human rights considerations into business management systems. Eighteen months after the release of the U.N. Guiding Principles, companies are working to determine how best to incorporate human rights considerations into the management of their operations. In a recent report, State of Play: The Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights in Business Relationships, the Institute for Business and Human Rights observed that "[c]ompanies are actively learning from their efforts to integrate environment, health and safety, and anti-bribery and corruption concerns in their management systems and business relationships," and quoted one company as stating "human rights feels like where corruption was ten years ago." We'll be watching closely as companies seek to leverage existing personnel capacity and compliance systems to meet these new challenges.
Human Rights Due Diligence as an underlying framework for legislative and regulatory expectations. Consistent with the state responsibility to protect human rights, legislators and regulators are adopting measures to encourage, or mandate, human rights due diligence efforts by companies. In the United States, we have already see both state and federal legislation incorporate human rights due diligence as an operative framework. At the end of 2012, the International Corporate Accountability Roundtable released a comprehensive report, Human Rights Due Diligence: The Role of States, urging governments around the globe to do more to incorporate human rights into due diligence expectations for business. We expect more governments to answer this call in the coming year.
The Supreme Court's ruling in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Shell. Sometime in coming months, the U.S. Supreme Court will issue its long-awaited decision in Kiobel. After two rounds of oral arguments, many expect the Supreme Court to place significant limitations on the ability of plaintiffs to file suits under the Alien Tort Statute against corporate defendants on the basis of allegations of extraterritorial conduct. That said, we do not expect the Court to declare that that corporations are fully immune from liability.
Increased engagement by the business community in efforts to combat human trafficking. For years, many companies were quick to deny any link to human trafficking but, more recently, trafficking has emerged as a major focus area for the greater business community. Going forward, we expect more companies to more fully engage in efforts to combat the problem, spurred in part by new private sector initiatives like the Global Business Coalition Against Trafficking and the American Bar Association's work to develop business conduct standards applicable to human trafficking.
New multi-stakeholder initiatives to address human rights concerns in corporate supply chains. The tragic fires in Bangladesh and Pakistan in late 2012 highlighted the limitations of voluntary monitoring systems and raised difficult questions about brand and supplier responsibility for basic worker safety in global apparel factories. Corporate due diligence efforts on conflict minerals has highlighted significant capacity gaps in terms of the capacity of companies to assess tens of thousands of suppliers and the sources of specific minerals. With these and other challenges in mind, we expect to see more multi-stakeholder efforts to address these challenges in the coming year, recognizing that no single group of stakeholders can address these concerns alone.

OXFORD City Council has said it is not planning to sell off any of its parks.
It comes after a report put together by the Heritage Lottery Fund raised concern about the uncertain future facing public parks across the UK because of government cuts.
But the city council, which owns and manages seven large parks, 22 neighbourhood parks and 26 local parks, said it has invested more than £5m in its parks recently.
Council spokesman Louisa Dean said: "Oxford City Council recognises the broad value of parks and has recently adopted a Green Spaces Strategy which outlines how we manage the city's parks.
"The council is not cutting services and is investing in its parks infrastructure while improving and increasing its maintenance regimes.
"We have invested £3.1m in play area refurbishment and refurbished park toilets. We are currently investing £2.45m in sports pavilions, £120,000 in outdoor gym equipment and £220,000 in multi use games areas and tennis courts."
Last year, five of the city's parks were given the Green Flag Award – a national scheme recognising the best green spaces – including Blackbird Leys, Cutteslowe & Sunnymead, Hinksey, Florence and Bury Knowle.
In its report, the Heritage Lottery Fund said 45 per cent of local authorities are considering selling off their parks or green spaces.

The People vs. M.U.S.C.L.E. – Part 2 follows the same framework for M.U.S.C.L.E. advertising that had been established the previous year in the two commercials. Sadly, for the final M.U.S.C.L.E. commercial there appears to be a far less focused approach. However, hardcore Color figure collectors likely view this commercial as the single greatest thirty seconds of video ever uncovered.
M.U.S.C.L.E. Invasion Update

M.U.S.C.L.E. Invasion Update, was clearly designed to air as a second part/episode of the Invasion of the M.U.S.C.L.E. Things commercial. The switch from monsters to wrestling only seems to make sense because the ancillary M.U.S.C.L.E. products are wrestling related. The commercial simply crowbars wrestling into the scenario.
Invasion of the M.U.S.C.L.E. Things
Posted by Chad Perry in Advertising & Promotion, UofM News on November 20th, 2009
For many collectors the M.U.S.C.L.E. commercials created incredible interest and excitement. However, the choices made about the direction of the M.U.S.C.L.E. commercials are especially interesting – but also seem to highlight the confusion that Mattel and their advertising agency had regarding the product.

My twin boys delivered the news of a monumental discovery this way: "Daddy, we heard about this place called McDonald's where they give you a toy with your food," they beamed. "Can we go there?"
Parents must get this a lot, if the unexpected surge in revenue the chain reported Monday is any indication. McDonald's MCD, +0.37% saw a 2.5% jump in U.S. stores in November — at a time analysts expected a 0.59% decline. And now my kids wanted to add to those numbers. See: McDonald's sales rise more than expected.
My first thought was that my wife and I should congratulate ourselves for raising kids who, at almost 5 years old, were more familiar with the oeuvre of the Rolling Stones than with that of Ronald McDonald. My second thought was that we were totally unprepared to have the Happy Meal talk.
We needed to buy time.
"Who wants to watch TV?" I asked.
My wife advocated saying something to the effect of, "It's poison, and you must never go there." (She was raised in San Francisco by a hippie health-food-crusading mother for whom white flour is akin to arsenic.)
But if quarter-pounders were truly toxic, I would have been dead before my bar mitzvah. I was such a horrific eater as a child that on Thanksgiving, while the rest of the family feasted on turkey and stuffing, my dad would take me on a run to the McDonald's drive-through.
McDonald's CEO: Economy is what it is
CEO Donald Thompson tells analysts that the current economic environment is "the new normal."
I didn't see the light or, for that matter, the lettuce, until sometime in college, when it became clear to me that a diet heavy in fast food wasn't the way to a long and happy life. Today, when I do grab a burger, I opt for grass-fed beef on a whole-grain bun. And I would do anything to stop my kids from squandering two decades' worth of decent meals the way I did.
So how can parents convince children to trust them and not be swayed by the nearly $1 billion the food industry spends annually marketing to children under age 12, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
"As parents, it's our job to defend against that marketing," Michael Pollan told me. In 2006, it was his book, "The Omnivore's Dilemma," that convinced me to finally swear off fast food for good. "But," he suggested, "parents could use more help from Congress."
When the FTC and other agencies suggested the industry agree to voluntary regulations on marketing to children, Congress refused to support the measure.
Pollan published a "young readers" version of his book aimed at 10- to 15-year-olds. What parents really need, I told him, is "Omnivore's Dilemma: The Picture Book."
"You're not the first to suggest that," he said. "But at what point is it appropriate to talk to kids about what a feedlot is? Five may be too soon."
Rather than focus on the ills of the food industry, Pollan, whose own son made the transformation from finicky eater to food snob, suggested parents teach kids about the marketing itself, explaining why the healthiest foods tend not be adorned with pictures of cartoon characters.
Wouldn't it be simpler, as my wife suggested, to just say, "No, we're not going to McDonald's."
"What ends up happening then is you elevate the fabulousness of fast food to great heights," said Wendy Grolnick, a psychology professor at Clark University in Worcester, Mass., and author of "Pressured Parents, Stressed-Out Kids." "You want to have structure around eating, but not a lot of control." She favors telling children how healthier foods do more to make them grow strong, she said.
Alas, "Remember Popeye" never worked on me as a kid. Another hamburger, I'd cry.
Then why not reward healthy meals with toys? Bribery, I'm not ashamed to admit, is as vital to making our way through dinner as it is to the functioning of some countries.
Wrong again, according to psychologists.
"Research shows that bribing or rewarding kids for eating their vegetables can actually decrease children's preference for these foods," said Donna Pincus, director of Boston University's child and adolescent fear and anxiety treatment program and author of "Growing up Brave."
As a child, I felt Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham" violated the Geneva Convention with its advocacy of torturing people into trying new food. But Dr. Pincus suggested the strategy can work.
"Parents should consistently offer healthy foods, knowing that sometimes it takes a number of introductions of a new food for children to adopt it as part of the repertoire," she said.
Fortunately, by the time we had a chance to consider these possibilities, the boys had forgotten all about McDonald's. They've moved on to much simpler questions, including these: "Is Santa Claus dead?" and "How does the baby get inside the mommy's belly? Does she eat it?"
