They had only played one competitive match of the new season but already the knives were out at Arsenal.
Despite boasting of the financial muscle at their disposal they had failed to sign one player or spend a single pound before the new English Premier League campaign kicked off.
And when they were beaten at home on Saturday by Aston Villa — who narrowly avoided relegation last season — a predictably poisonous atmosphere resulted.
Fans vented their fury not only at their under-performing stars but also manager Arsene Wenger, and especially the board, for the lack of new faces.
Entry to the lucrative competition was seen as vital if they are to attract some big-name signings before the transfer window shuts on September 2.
And Arsenal made light work of their assignment in the Turkish city of Istanbul, as goals from Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud all but sealed their progress.
In truth, Arsenal were far superior to Fenerbahce, who could have be expelled from the competition even if they were to progress in the tie.
The Turks are awaiting the outcome of an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport challenging a ban from European competition handed down to them by UEFA on match-fixing charges.
But after Gibbs turned home a cross from England international Theo Walcott on 51 minutes Fenerbahce's threat was limited.
Ramsey doubled the Gunners' lead with a powerful strike from outside the area and Olivier Giroud converted a late penalty after Walcott was adjudged to have been brought down in the area.
After the game Wenger told Sky Sports: "We could have be a little bit shaky after what happened on Saturday so it was important to start on the right foot."
As for the possibility of making some signings before the transfer window shuts he added: "A lot will happen in the last ten days."
Elsewhere, Greek side PAOK Salonika, who were reinstated to the competition after Ukrainians Metalist Kharkiv were thrown out on match-fixing charges, drew 1-1 with Schalke in Germany.
Jakub Kosecki's equalizer helped Polish side Legia Warsaw to a 1-1 draw with Steaua Bucuresti in Romania while Austria Vienna won 2-0 away at Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia.Cosmos' grand plans
Two goals from Mohamed Salah helped Swiss club FC Basel to a 4-2 victory over Ludogorets Razgrad in Bulgaria.
In the English Premier League, Jose Mourinho made it two wins from two games as Chelsea beat Aston Villa in a controversial clash at Stamford Bridge.
The home side took the lead when Eden Hazard's shot cannoned off Villa's American goalkeeper Brad Guzan and into Antonio Luna, propelling the ball over the line.
But Villa equalized when Belgian international Christian Benteke grabbed his third goal of the season, finishing a smart move at the near post.
Branislav Ivanovic was perhaps fortunate not be sent off when he appeared to elbow Benteke and he proved to be the match winner, heading Frank Lampard's free kick home with 17 minutes left.
After the game Mourinho told reporters: "That was very hard, I've missed that about the Premier League. This is what I like. Villa probably deserved a point."

Post subject: Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion
Last week, we visited the Magic Kingdom to ride the updated Haunted Mansion. I'll try to limit my review to the new and updated items that I remember.
It seems that it took my eyes longer to adjust to the low light levels. I don't remember the loading area being that dim. And, the ride itself seemed to get even dimmer.
The corpse hanging from the rafters in the stretching room looked to be better than I remember. He used to hang in the center of the room before and I could only see his feet and a few rags. He was moved slightly to the side. And, I was able to actually make out more features, like the fact that he had a face, arms, and a body.
A hallway was added to the beginning of the actual ride. This duplicates the hallway that DisneyLand visitors walk through to get to the loading area (they needed the walkway to get people under the train tracks and outside of the park proper). The lightning effects and the painting transformations were good. I don't know how many people will catch it, though. The lightning "strikes" were spaced far enough apart that not everyone will see the paintings change.
The next added scene was a crazy staircases room. It reminds me more of the MC Escher painting than what I would expect in a haunted house. The glowing green footprints were good. They would appear quickly and then fade away slowly.
The sceance room has been updated. The crystal ball now floats above the table. Madame Leota's image is much sharper than before. I think it is too bright, though. It was easier for me to see that it was video projected onto a static head shape. Sometimes, brighter isn't better. The other decorations on the table looked authentic.
The ballroom has been updated, I think. I thought that there used to be ballroom dancers. I didn't see them this time. Instead, the far right side of the room had ghosts entering the room through a crashed buggy hearse. There was also a ghostly fire in the fireplace (bright green).
The bride in the attic has been updated. Her face has the same effect as the crystal ball. There is an animation of her talking to the guests. There are projections of her hands carassing the ax. I also liked the portraits resting against things. They had the same changing ability as the new hallway (and the portrait at the main entrance).
The audio in the doombuggies was quite good, crisp and clear. I remember that there used to be occasional crackles and pops before, as if the recording was getting old. The beginning script still mentions that the ghost host will close the buggy. The loading attendant did it on all the buggies, though. I don't know if the close mechanism was just broken that day. They opened up on their own at the end.
Ok. I know that I focused a bit too much on the technical aspects. I like to figure out how they do some of the illusions. I wasn't wowed by the new effects. It appeared as if they were all done with concealed LCD projectors. I could be wrong. I would like to be wrong.

I took a ride through today to see the new changes to the ride... I was pretty impressed! The new stuff adds to the show I think... I'm going to put stuff that I *think* changed... although it is possible on a few counts that I noticed stuff that was already there... because... well... this is one of those rides where there is always something new to notice.
The wallpaper in the stretching room looked new... the frames on the paintings looked re-painted... They added 3D audio that circles the room and refreshed the audio track with added sound effects and a crisper vocal track.
The spiderwebs in the second queue looked stripped down (they are probably starting over with the accumulation) and there were webs stretching to the walls. I can't remember if the cement urns on the walls were there before... oh well...
The Doombuggies still close on their own, as of today. Maybe the mechanism just wasn't working the day you went through...
The Escher room replaced the old UV spiderwebs. The room looks huge, compared to what was there before, but I think mirrors add to that effect.
The upper part of the grandfather clock might be new or re-done...
I think the coffin ghost might have gotten new audio.
In a few of the rooms, it looked like they added new set dressing pieces to flesh out the rooms a bit more. In the hallway of doors, there were new miniature portraits on the walls...
The knight by the endless hallway is moving pretty sprightly... if I remember right, he didn't really move before... or if he did, not by much...
I really liked the new bride. I was a little nervous b/c last time they changed it, it was the green-faced one, which I didn't find as creepy as it having just glowing eyes and no face. The new bride is sincerely creepy... great acting... and the way the paintings are dispersed and the bride not being visible until you are pretty close makes for a great lead-in to that scene. The only really major change I noticed is that she changed sides. She used to be on the right.
I saw the crashed hearse on the right near the ghosts moving in a circle. Everything else looked the same (I think there might have been a couple of new or moved chairs)... The dancers were still on the left by the organ. Maybe they didn't have that light up when you went through (to illuminate those figures).
I think Madam Leota, in addition to floating, may have had a few new instruments. I really think it looks a lot nicer. I felt like she was fiendishly bright before, so it didn't really bother me. It's nice to see here getting to travel a bit!
A few of the graveyard figures seemed like they were illuminated better. I used to squint to see the details on some of them, but in the scenes that have more depth, I was able to see the figurines in the back, and some added background detail beyond that.
The Hitchhiker ghosts looked more animated... I think they got some deserved attention... and the group of 3 looked like they had a fancy new set of clothes (a little sparkly). Little Leota looked like she had new clothes too.
I was impressed at the entry queue that they are keeping Master Gracey's grave freshly-dug (and of course, with the obligatory dead roses).
It seems like most of the refurbs at WDW lately have really been great improvements -- rather than trying to "modernize" the rides, they are just adding fresh things within the spirit of what was originally created. It makes me glad that the next generation won't remember the Mansion as something slowly degrading and "old-fashioned" looking... but rather, I think it will still seem fresh to them as it did to the generations before, due to the attention they are giving it.
Great job to... well... the team that is designing this stuff...

P.S. This is cool: Jack Skellington references in the mansion. The following link has some "spoilers"... so if you want to find Jack for yourself, don't look... some of them would be pretty hard to find, though! There may be more than those listed... Cool
Now if only we could get Jack to come over here for Christmas!

I found out that one of the Jack Skelintons is in a book that is in the Attic room. There is also one in the Ballroom somewhere.

Turnover in the fourth quarter up 9,2%
Toulouse, September 15th 2006 – The IGE+XAO Group announces that:
In the fourth quarter of 2005/2006, IGE+XAO achieved a significant percentage increase in its turnover which reached € 5,370,222 representing growth of 9.2% when compared with fiscal 2004/2005. For the year, our business has grown by 7.2% to reach € 19,698,405. Accordingly, the Group confirms its growth forecast announced at the start of the fiscal year.
Other than the increase in turnover, fiscal 2005/2006 has been particularly dynamic with notably the signature of a contract with Schneider Electric enabling the joint development and marketing of a software solution to the building industry, the takeover of the Swiss distributor Hibatec GmbH., the creation of a marketing subsidiary in the United States and the opening of a representative office in China.
Finally, in line with Group forecasts, this extremely satisfactory increase in business will result in a high level of profit.

Susan, You did a great job. Wasn't this a doozy. I kept laughing while I did mine because it was like my left hand had a mind of its own!

I thought your tile looked awfully good for a non-dominant hand. Then I read that you had had some practice at one point. Isn't it amazing how the body can rise to the challenge when required?

Thats a super piece, the details are fantastic. I would find it difficult to use my left hand.

this is really good! You have great control with your left hand.

Wow, that is so amazing...and with your non-dominant hand! I'm not sure I could even draw a good stick person with my left hand!
- Tuesday, January 31, 2012 10:40:00 PM
- Susan said...
Your tangle is amazing, for your non-dom hand but found your post very enlightening. I guess we should use that other hand, hanging there at the end of our left arm, more often!
- Wednesday, February 01, 2012 6:18:00 AM
- Duchygirl37 said...
You are so lucky to have the opportunity to use the left hand! Your work looks so beautiful, brilliant and unique!

Susan, you are such a master at all you do with the art of zentangle. I love that you didn't make this challenge simple. You really did make a beautiful tile!

Doesn't look messy at all, just fabulous

I simply love your tile. It must have been so hard to háve to use your other hand for a while. Now it was 'just for fun'. That is better, if it is by choice. Anyway, I think it is beautiful.

Once in awhile it's fun to have a good shake and wobble. Lovely!

Hi Susan!
Thanks so much for visiting me!! You are right. The tile for my ZIA piece is longer. It is in a 3x5 notebook.
Your tile is total perfection!

Love your tile, Susan. And thank you for your kind words about mine!

Carlton's students rally to save their school in a story inspired by the real-life 1988 Gallaudet University protests
In an all-new episode of "Switched at Birth" told entirely in American Sign Language, the students at Carlton School for the Deaf protest to keep their school open. The ground-breaking episode, a first for a scripted series on mainstream television, will air Monday, March 4, at 8 p.m. on ABC Family.
When news of the school's closing spreads throughout campus, Daphne leads the students of Carlton School for the Deaf in arranging a demonstration to take place on the eve of the "Romeo and Juliet" play, in which Daphne has the lead role. Meanwhile, as one of a handful of hearing students in the school, Bay's attempt to be part of the campaign is challenged.
The storyline was inspired by the real-life "Deaf President Now" protests at Gallaudet University that took place 25 years ago this March.
"Switched at Birth" stars Katie Leclerc as Daphne Vasquez; Vanessa Marano ("Gilmore Girls") as Bay Kennish; Constance Marie ("George Lopez") as Regina Vasquez; D.W. Moffett ("Friday Night Lights") as John Kennish; Lea Thompson ("Back to the Future," "Caroline in the City") as Kathryn Kennish; Lucas Grabeel ("High School Musical") as Toby Kennish; Sean Berdy as Emmett Bledsoe; and Gilles Marini ("Brothers and Sisters") as Angelo Sorrento with guest star Marlee Matlin ("The West Wing").

It's ChemistryTuesday, August 26th, 2008
Ever wonder why someone else got hired when your qualifications were as least as strong? Susan, Louise, and John recently wondered about it as well. It's not rocket science. But it is often under estimated. It's not very difficult.
It's chemistry. Chemistry accounts for 70% of hiring decisions. Chemistry continues to be the big driver once hired. Good chemistry comes from a good fit. Between you and your manager. Between you and the organization. Good chemistry creates an ease. An openness. Trust is established. You "get" each other. Communication comes naturally. Be aware and choose well:
- Know your style, strengths and liabilities in dealing with people.
- Take off your rose colored glasses when you are in job search mode.
- Listen to your gut. Notice how the person is with you. The appealing aspects. The things that make you uncomfortable.
- Take the offer If you think you will flourish and grow. Don't accept the offer if it negative. Makes you uncomfortable.

December futures closed at 61.88 about the same time the board approved the $11.5 million in advancements.
In recommending the progress payment, acting president and CEO Robert W. Norris said, "Calcot is in excellent financial shape, as evidenced by this recommendation, and we look forward to the final settlement of our 76th season in late September."
Calcot made progress payments in January and April after an initial government loan level advance just prior to the beginning of the harvest of the 2002 crop. Calcot's final settlement will be announced at the cooperative's 76th annual meeting, in Visalia, Calif., Sept. 30, followed by desert meetings in Blythe on Oct. 1 and in Tempe on Oct. 2.
The benchmark SJV Acala, color grade 31, inch and an eighth staple length, will receive a four-cent per pound payment, bringing Calcot's advance to date in the Seasonal Pool to 69.20 cents per pound.
Other varieties and their payments include, California Upland, grade 31, two cents, for an advance to date of 63.90 cents; California/Arizona, grade 31, one cent, 61.30 cents; roller-ginned Ultima, grade 31, four cents, 74.20 cents; SJV Pima, grade 2-46, two cents, 85.85; and desert Pima cotton, grade 2-46, two cents, 84.25 cents.
No payments were recommended for Calcot's Call Pool cottons. However, the board approved $202,985 in mote payments, which go to cotton gins.
Payments were expected to reach growers' hands about July 15.

I like Nicholas Carr. His 2008 Atlantic cover story "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" (expanded two years later into "The Shallows," a 2010 Pulitzer finalist) helped catalyze a key idea: the distracting nature of digital culture, which encourages us to read widely but not necessarily deeply, flitting from concept to concept, piece to piece, like mosquitoes on a pond.
For Carr, this is both a social and a biological problem; among the most interesting parts of "The Shallows" are those dealing with the brain. Computers, Carr argues — or, more to the point, our use of them — are literally rewiring our brain chemistry, causing us to think differently than we did in an analog world.
Given all that, it's perhaps not surprising that Carr should emerge last week with a Wall Street Journal piece arguing the e-book bubble may have burst.
"Half a decade into the e-book revolution …," he writes, "the prognosis for traditional books is suddenly looking brighter. Hardcover books are displaying surprising resiliency. The growth in e-book sales is slowing markedly. And purchases of e-readers are actually shrinking, as consumers opt instead for multipurpose tablets. It may be that e-books, rather than replacing printed books, will ultimately serve a role more like that of audio books—a complement to traditional reading, not a substitute."

burner input needed
I'm moving my brewing from the kitchen stove to a burner outside. Anyone have any suggestions on what type of burner is the best all purpose? Anyone use the turkey boiler kits with success?

burner input
I use a "turkey cooker burner" by itself. Really puts out the BTUs! Don't use the aluminum pot that generally comes with turkey cookers though - get a stainless or ceramic coated stainless pot.

Natural Gas Is Best ... If you have it available.
If you have natural gas available at your house, it is best to use it due to it's significantly lower cost over LPG, higher BTU content, higher pressure and cleaner burning results in less fowling of kettle bottoms. FINALLY, natural gas burner rings are available for home brew useage. They are made of 1/2" cast iron piping aranged in a circle with a cross member in the center. The ones I have have 21 brass jets and produce 200,000 BTU. They are easily controlled by brass ball valves for flame adjustment. Each burner weighs about 15# and costs $60. The saving over LPG and convenience of not having to get cylinders all the time will very quickly provide a payback of any tapping you have to do on your existing line. I got mine from the website of Beer, Beer & More Beer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!
Cheers... Eric.

I've been doing a little bit of work on my WW1 Portsmouth War Dead database, as a bit of light relief from working on promoting my WW1 Book. I've been using Tim Backhouse's eternally useful memorials in Portsmouth website to flesh out some details on the names on my list. Tim has listed pretty much every name on every kind of memorial in Portsmouth. I have been using his listing of the WW1 Cenotaph to create the bulk of my database – without his listing I would have had to do twice as much work.
Aside from the main memorials, Tim has also listed names from the plethora of other memorials around in Portsmouth. Of chief interest to me are three kinds – Company and Organisation Memorials; School Memorials; and Parish Memorials. In terms of Organisations and Companies we have names for the Portsmouth Gas Company, the Electric Company, the Passenger Transport Depot, the Police, and even Handleys, a local Department store. Schools are chiefly the local Grammar and public schools – Portsmouth Grammar School, St Johns College, Southern Grammar School for Boys and Northern Grammar School. The Parish listings are also useful too, helping me to confirm where in the city somebody came from, and sweeping up a few names that are not on the Cenotaph. Funily enough, many of the names from RC parishes have a distinctively Irish ring to them. St Johns Cathedral even has some latin sounding names – from Malta, perhaps?
Just to give an example of from one company joined up, lets take a look at the Portsmouth District of the Post Office. Four men from the Portsmouth Posties joined the 8th Battalions of the London Regiment – or, the Post Office Rifles. The London Regiment was a Territorial-only Regiment, and the Post Office Rifles are a fine example of a profession-based unit.
Rifleman A. Toleman was killed on 18 May 1915. He is buried at Bethune in France. Rifleman Victor Papworth was just 19 when he was killed on 21 May 1916, and is remembered on the Arras Memorial in France. Rifleman Thomas Brady was killed the next day, aged 20. He is buried in Barlin Cemetery. Lance Corporal Leonard Cox was killed on 20 September 1917, and is remembered on the Menin Gate Memorial. Another Portsmouth man was killed serving with the Post Office Rifles, but does not seem to haved been a postie – Rifleman G Croad, who was killed on 7 June 1917 and is buried in Voormezeele. He joined the Army in September 1916, and seems to have gone to the front in January 1917, suggesting that he joined the Post Office Rifles as a replacement. As the wore drew on and the manpower situation became more acute, earlier recruiting loyalties and conventions were quietly ignored and men were sent to wherever they were needed.
The Post Office Rifles are a unique example – for Portsmouth, at any rate – of how men could join the armed forces based on their professional loyalties.

Using EPL insurance effectively in mediation
Many companies purchase employment practices liability (EPL) insurance to cover the costs of defending a variety of claims and losses related to employment litigation. These may include negligent hiring, failure to promote, wrongful termination and a host of other claims brought under discrimination, contract or tort theories. There are, however, limitations on what an EPL policy may cover. For example, attorneys' fees may be covered, while losses are not. Potentially expensive claims arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) or state wage and hour law, WARN Act, ERISA or severance pay plans may be excluded. Coverage for defense costs may count towards the policy limits, eating into the amount available for a settlement.
Insurers may also be allowed to make decisions as to choice of defense attorneys, whether to mediate, and whether to settle and for how much. Since a great number of employment disputes today go to mediation and then settlement, it is important to know that the clock could be ticking on what a company can pay out for the process. There are, however, ways to build a smoother process. It is important to have a clear understanding before mediation of what the EPL policy does and does not cover, who makes decisions, whether possible allocation issues exist and how the insurer values the insured portions of the claim. A thorough reading of the policy will provide answers to many of the underlying questions about a company's relationship with the insurance carrier.
Companies should pay attention to restrictions in the policy and the size of the deductible. If a company's business is large enough and important enough to the insurer, it might actually have more leeway in deciding on issues such as defense counsel, choice of mediator and settlement amounts than the policy language might suggest. If not, company representatives must be prepared to explain or advocate to the insurer what the company needs that may be beyond the literal language of the contract. The next step involves the logistics of the mediation itself, and who will work with company representatives in terms of the insurer and defense counsel. Will there be an insurance representative at the mediation? If not, how accessible will he or she be? Do company representatives understand the respective roles, including decision-making, among company, the insurer and the defense counsel? How does the insurer value the case? If it is not the same as company's valuation, it is helpful to understand that.
Are there special aspects that are important to the company, such as precedent or publicity? Can the company persuade the insurer to see things its way if needed, or to see value in settling on terms that company representatives think are necessary in this particular case? What does the company believe the costs of defense are likely to be? Does the insurer agree? As company representatives work through an approach to the mediation and the insurer, another consideration is whether the case has multiple counts and, if so, whether the insurance policy covers only some counts. If there are allocation issues and the company will likely end up contributing to a settlement, is it better to sort that out before the mediation, or will it be up to the mediator to help with a mediation-within-a-mediation? EPL insurance can help a company deal with claims and litigation. Being prepared and understanding the mediation process can ensure that a company gets the most out of what is available under the EPL policy.

The second book, of course, is the Bible. In this book we learn of God the redeemer. Nature gives us general revelation, whereas the Bible gives us special revelation. The two books together provide the resources for understanding reality in relationship to God, the creator and redeemer.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — With giant portraits of Nelson Mandela and colorful posters, South African artists are celebrating the 95th birthday Thursday of the anti-apartheid leader, who remains hospitalized although his condition has improved.
The "father of the nation" has inspired many artists to create works to commemorate the Nelson Mandela International Day, a day declared by the United Nations as a way to recognize the Nobel Prize winner's contribution to reconciliation.
Paintings and posters depicting Mandela have sprung up around Johannesburg in tribute to the life of the ailing icon, some on a very large scale.
Artists John Adams and Paul Blomkamp created two of the biggest Mandela paintings in tribute to the iconic leader for his years of public service to his community. They say their paintings reflect the scale of Mandela's global contributions and the exceptional energy of the anti-apartheid leader.
Artist John Adams said his portrait of Mandela — at 4.8 x 4.5 meters (16 x 15 feet) — is the largest that exists of the anti-apartheid leader. The 38-year-old, who painted the portrait at his childhood home in the Johannesburg suburb of Bosmont, said Mandela inspired him as a young artist.
"The moment he was released, schools were opened to everybody," said Adams, who is of mixed race and got new educational opportunities with the end of apartheid. "It was momentous to me because the extra bit of education really impacted my life dramatically ... I started really understanding what art is and the degrees to which you can really extend and improve yourself as an individual."
Adams' painting features Mandela waving with the African continent in the palm of his hand, as people in the background cheer the former president's contributions. It will also include some of Mandela's famous words.
The painting will be exhibited at Johannesburg's concert arena, the Coca-Cola Dome, from July 24 to 27 and then will be auctioned to raise funds for South African charities for abused children, the Teddy Bear Clinic and Sunlight Safe House.
A "labor of love" is how artist Paul Blomkamp describes his portrait of Mandela. Blomkamp spent 14 months painting vibrantly colored stripes that form a smiling Mandela face, which he said was inspired by the iconic figure's exceptional energy.
"I wondered how he arranged his energy so he could be so great and give so much to the world," said Blomkamp.
The painting at 4.2 by 4.2 meters (14 x 14 feet) is too large to fit in Blomkamp's Rivonia home studio, so he has created it in panels. He hopes the painting will one day be housed at a planned children's hospital to be named after Mandela.
Blomkamp said his painting will be featured in a display in New York's Times Square Thursday in honor of Mandela's birthday, a tribute he considers worthy of the leader's global impact.
"I don't want his work to be forgotten," said Blomkamp. "So we've got to do something big."

For ordinary(*) nodes the passed DataTableSpec elements are never
null but can be empty. The model
may return
null data table spec(s) for the outputs. Note, after the model has been executed this
function will not be called anymore, as the output DataTableSpecs are then being pulled from the output
DataTables. A derived
NodeModel that cannot provide any DataTableSpecs at its outputs before
execution (because the table structure is unknown at this point) can return an array containing just
null elements. As an example consider a "Transpose" node that flips columns to rows -- there is no
way to determine the table spec at time of configuration as the number of rows (which is the number of new
columns at the output) is unknown though the node is still executable.
(*)For nodes that support optional inputs or may have inactive outputs it's better to override
Implementation note: This method is called from the
NodeModel.configure(PortObjectSpec[]) method unless that
method is overwritten.
configure in class
inSpecs - The input data table specs (as many as this model has inputs). Do NOT modify the contents of this
array. If no spec is available for any given port (because the port is not connected or the previous
node does not produce a spec) the framework will pass an empty
DataTableSpec (no columns)
unless the port is marked as
optional (in which case the array element
is null).
null DataTableSpec elements are changed to empty once.
InvalidSettingsException - if the
#configure() failed, that is, the settings are inconsistent
with given DataTableSpec elements.

The input data is available in the given array argument
inData and is ensured to be neither
null nor contain
null elements (with few non-standard exception, which are described in

If you were in the business of lending money and a prospect came to you and asked to borrow $20,000 for 30 days, but says they're not prepared to sign paperwork to that effect, what would you do?
Whilst my clients in Melbourne's CBD, Richmond, Abbotsford, South Yarra, Prahran, St Kilda and Bentleigh areas aren't money lenders, they do provide goods or services to significant dollar values on delayed payment terms without a terms & conditions agreement in place. Why? Out of obligation to a repeat customer? Because they have good 'gut instincts' that the customer will pay promptly when the time comes? Because they want to do business on a handshake 'like the old days' even though the world & business practices has changed dramatically?
Step outside of your business and look at it objectively for a second does delivering valuable goods or services on payment terms without a proper terms of trade agreement in place sound like good business practice? Why take on that risk or stress with your livelihood, every time you do business? We all sign terms & conditions regularly for a mobile phone plan, for a credit card, for a 6 month interest free purchase why is your business the one that operates without the protection it provides?
The seriousness and frequency of businesses selling on terms that have suffered financial losses due to non-payments has prompted the Australian government's Financial Security Authority to publish a booklet titled "Are you in business?â€, explaining the national legislation the PPSA (PPSR is the platform) and how it 'offers businesses excellent risk protection' by affording businesses financial security if their customer 'doesn't pay or goes broke' via a registration process.

Israeli food, and a recipe for Roasted Aubergine (Eggplant) with Feta
I'll be eating lots of Israeli food in the coming few days, together with few other foodbloggers from England, France and the US, and you'll bound to hear much more about it. In advance of the foodie journey, we were all sent a gorgeous coffee-table/cookbook by Riga-born and Israel-based food writer and cookbook author Janna Gur, called The Book of New Israeli Food: A Culinary Journey. I've been browsing through the book and sticking enough yellow post-it notes on the pages to give my family and friends menu ideas till Christmas. The first dish (and certainly not the last one) I tried was a little number with roasted aubergines/eggplants.
Lovely on some rye bread crisps!
Please keep your fingers crossed that this Nordic foodie won't collapse under the Israeli sun - the dry heat is somewhat intimidating, I must admit. Nordic summers with about 20 Celsius and few degrees above that are what I'm enjoying most, you see, but sometimes we need to challenge ourselves, especially in the name of good food and good company ;)
Roasted aubergine with feta
Serves four to six
2 firm medium-sized aubergines/eggplants, rinsed
200 g feta cheese, crumbled
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
a pinch of sumac
a pinch of dried oregano or marjoram leaves
3 chopped spring onions
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Roast the rinsed eggplants either on an open flame (if you've got a gas grill) or simply in a hot oven until soft and blackened. Cool slightly, then peel (discard the skin) and mash the roasted flesh with a knife and/or a fork.
Add the crumbled feta cheese and olive oil, season with sumac and oregano (I used a close relative, marjoram). Add the chopped spring onions (I used a mixture of chives, green onions and Siberian garlic chives from my garden), season to taste with salt and pepper, if necessary.
Note: if you season the aubergine/eggplant flesh while it's still slightly warm, then the flavours are absorbed much better!
Serve at once or cover and keep in a cool place until ready to serve.

David Lebovitz tried the Tu bi'Shvat Cake

Hello Pille
Thanks for the roasted aubergine with feta recipe.
I'll create one for sure, my kids are gonna like it :)
If you don't mind, can you submit your roasted aubergine with feta photo in http://www.foodporn.net ?
It's a food photography site full of all DIY food pictures from members around the world. Or perhaps you'd like to submit by yourself? Let me know when you did, so I can share it.

I'm Israeli, and I must say dry heat isn't the issue, it's the humid heat we have in the summer that's hard to deal with (for us too!). But I think you're coming over early enough that you'll miss it.
The food here is fantastic, and there's lots of delicious fresh produce. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Tegin röstitud pommut fetaga, aga see ei maitsenud nii väga, sumahh ilmselt häiris seal sees, nii lisasin veel piparmünti, koriandrit ja sidrunimahla, aga need ei parandanud asja eriti. Ehk on homme parem.

A great recipe!
I love eggplants!
Tomorrow when we meet I'll take you to an amazing gourmet chef restaurant where we cook together a few recipes, and certainly one of them will be with eggplant.
I'm sure you'll like it.
I am waiting impatiently for tomorrow ...
A big hug for now

Hello Pille - First of all, a lovely recipe! Am blogging on your site for the first time and really laugh at the small size of our world :) ! My name is Eha, I was born in Tallinn and I live in the state of NSW in Australia. Guess where I found you: at one of my very favourite food blogs 'Food Bridge' in Israel!! Peab naerma!!!

Hovkonditorn - I love aubergine in any shape and form, and this dish was no different :)
Devadatta - you're welcome.
Anon- now that I'm back from Israel, I can say that I did survive, though it wasn't easy. Luckily our bus was air-conditioned! Food was excellent!
Kalyn - Ximena is so talented (just like your brother!), and I'm honoured that she's agreed to do some banners for me.
Tiina - sumahhi võib teinekord ka välja jätta, aga mulle see täitsa meeldis selle pommupüree sees.
Yaelian - what are your favourite recipes from the book?
Tanna - the cast was great indeed :)
Ariella- thank you for being such a nice buddy in Israel!
Jeff - I roasted it in a hot oven, but of course, open-flame roasting is even better!!!
Eha - what a coincidence!! Welcome to Nami-Nami and I hope you'll find plenty of inspiration here, also for cooking Estonian dishes :)
Linda - sumac are the ground fruits of a specific plan popular in Middle East and elsewhere. The dark red powder has a sharp, lemony flavour. Google it!
Katrin - tweeting can be quite fun, I've discovered :)

As the weather continues to heat up, more measures must be taken in order to keep cool while enjoying the outdoors. With an Evaporative Cooling Sport Vest from HyperKewl™ all it takes is 1-2 minutes of soaking in water to provide temperatures up to 15°-20° cooler than the ambient temperature for several hours. Upon submerging the vest in water, the HyperKewl fabric used will absorb, store and then release water within the vest through evaporation to cool us down. After removing the vest from soaking, excess water should be gently squeezed out and wiped away before wearing. This process can be repeated as often as needed throughout the course of the day to stay cool. The Evaporative Cooling Sport Vest has a wide range of applications such as hiking, working outdoors, sitting in the stands at a ball game or to simply escape the day's heat. The vest has a front zippered closure and a V-neck collar.
Size Chart Size Chest Front Length (Back is 2" Longer) Small 34-36" 20.5" Medium 37-39" 21" Large 40-42" 21.5" X-Large 43-45" 22" XX-Large 46-48" 23.5"
This vest is also available in the following sizes, each sold separately:
How it Works: HyperKewl fabric absorbs and stores water when it is submerged. Water is then released within the layers of the vest through evaporation to create a chill effect similarly to the way in which our bodies cool themselves through evaporation.
Instructions for Use: Submerge vest in water for 1-2 minutes, squeeze out excess water, wipe dry and wear.
Washing: In order to maintain the longest life possible it is best to wash with a gentle soap and brush.
Note: High humidity (90%+) will diminish the fabrics ability to evaporate water to provide cooling.

In fact, the highest restaurant is just up the road from London Bridge, on Bishopsgate - Duck & Waffle. It's on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower, a commercial office building; you step into a glass lift and get a great view over the City as you are whisked upwards.
The restaurant is definitely something special; it's also quite expensive as you might expect from somewhere that can boast such incredible views. The décor inside is worth noting as well - steel and glass meets weathered wood with impressive chandeliers - but of course it's the view everyone comes for. The main dining room (there is also a private room) has floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, so wherever you sit you are almost certain of a great view.
The restaurant is amazingly open 24 hours a day - after dinner they go into a late-night service which runs until 6am which is when they open for breakfast! So if you want to be here to watch the sun rise or sun set that would be a pretty magical experience.
I went with some work colleagues for breakfast as someone was leaving and we met at the slightly more civilised hour of 8am. We were all in awe of the view and the food was almost secondary but it was extremely good.
|duck and waffle, at Duck & Waffle
As befits the name, waffles are one of the specials on the breakfast menu, both sweet and savoury. If I liked bananas I'd have gone for the "full Elvis" - PBJ (peanut butter and jam?), banana brulee, Chantilly cream "and all the trimmings", £15. The waffles with cherry and yogurt ice cream and white chocolate crumble (£10) sounds more like a dessert than breakfast! On the savoury side there is Ox Cheek Benedict (on a waffle rather than English muffin), £11.
Then there's the full English breakfast, or you can also have something simple like fruit salad, porridge or beans on toast - though the beans on toast at £9 offer a Cheddar and buttermilk scone with house baked beans and parmesan, so probably a bit different to your standard Heinz on white bread.
But as we were in Duck & Waffle I knew what I had to have: the duck and waffle. I knew what to expect as I'd eaten chicken and waffles in Memphis - not a potato waffle like you can get in the frozen section of the supermarket here, but a sweet waffle, a jug of maple syrup, and crispy fried chicken or in this case duck. It sounds odd but it does go together really well! Here, for £15 you get a crispy leg confit of duck, a fried duck egg, mustard maple syrup on a waffle. It was a half (semicircle waffle and a small duck leg that had a lot of bone so it wasn't exactly a filling breakfast - though obviously more filling than what I often had for breakfast at that time which was a yogurt (lately I've stopped having breakfast at all). It was very good and felt like a really luxurious, even slightly decadent, way to start the day - it was a shame when it got to 9.30 and we all had to go into work!

Temporary RefugeBy David F. Carr | Posted 2005-10-04 Print
Vacuum-cleaner maker Oreck had the linchpin of its business continuity plan blown away by Hurricane Katrina. Intercosmos Media Group rode out Katrina with half a terabyte of data on the line, guarded by a former Green Beret whose preparations included gen
; Evacuations Continue">
Sept. 2 to 5: New Orleans stabilizes. Evacuations continue.
"The government is never equipped to handle a crisis like this. There's too much bureaucracy —initiative-stifling bureaucracy, which prevents swift, effective action."
It's Labor Day weekend, and DirectNIC is down to the last of its four high-speed Internet connections from TelCove, which isn't sure it can get enough diesel fuel to its generators before the connection drops.
With the help of Brian Acosta of I-55.com, DirectNIC's Internet service provider, the company helps TelCove get its fuel and restore two other Internet connections before the end of the day. Web sites that were temporarily dropped get brought back online.
Solares works with the city government and police to help those agencies communicate. The city has been using voice-over-Internet protocol phones, and he's offering equipment and expertise.
By Labor Day, all four of DirectNIC's Internet connections are online, putting the company solidly back in business, even though it's still running on generator power. Other buildings in the Central Business District are starting to get back power.
For Oreck, generators and trailers are secured as the company plans for a plant reopening on Sept. 9.
Sept. 6: Evacuations finish. Water in the city begins to recede.
"Man, it would be nice not to have to haul diesel anymore."
Barnett is making plans to pull servers from the Pan Am Life building across the street and get them online so Pan Am can download data to a backup location. DirectNIC's staff has already secured servers for other businesses in the area, bartering this service for water and other supplies.
Labor Day weekend is over, and the folks at Oreck and UPS are relieved. The long weekend stalled Oreck's efforts to truck its generators to its facilities, not to mention the trailers to house some of its homeless employees in Long Beach.
UPS managers go to Long Beach to get some of Oreck's equipment, notably the configured Zebra Technologies printers to create bar codes in the vacuum cleaner company's format. UPS also has to install electric wiring, network connections and lighting in a vacant area of the parcel company's Atlanta facility to absorb Oreck's shipments.
UPS delivers food and water to Oreck, which then fills the truck with orders that lack bar codes and serial numbers. UPS gets a pallet of products, say, air purifiers. From there, workers take apart the pallet and create a pick ticket or directions to bundle orders scheduled for a destination, such as Langhorne, Pa. An invoice is then recorded and shipped. Data is recorded manually into the Oreck mainframe in Boulder so customers can receive tracking information from call center representatives. "I've been the project manager for a lot of projects," says John Bunker, client solutions manager for the eastern district of UPS Supply Chain Solutions. "But this one was not much about planning, just executing."
Twenty-four to 30 trucks would make trips from Atlanta to Long Beach between Sept. 6 and 9, according to Behrendt.
Sept. 7 to 8: New Orleans calms, becomes a military town.
"If you want to play soldier with me, I will make you play it a lot longer than you had in mind."
Sometime after midnight on Sept. 8, a squad of 82nd Airborne soldiers accompanied by a U.S. Marshal bust into Intercosmos' data center, saying they're investigating lights and movement in the building. Annoyed at the intrusion, Barnett tells them that if they think there are intruders, they'd better check the building from top to bottom. His reward: Knowing that the building has been inspected, he gets his best sleep in weeks.
In the morning, Coleman leaves along with Solares and Donny Simonton, a senior vice president and technology manager. They're replaced by three fresh employees, while Solares scouts for new office locations.
Meanwhile, New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin has issued a mandatory evacuation order, but the DirectNIC people think they're exempt until told otherwise.
At Long Beach, Oreck ships products that were ordered before Katrina hit but never distributed. Employees reappear at the plant, which is gearing up for an opening ceremony with a cookout and appearance from Mississippi. Gov. Haley Barbour.
Sept. 9: New Orleans improves, but much of the city is still under water.
"I work well alone or in a group, I am self-motivated, I am an idea man, I pay attention to detail, and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty."
Barnett, still working at the DirectNIC site, is looking for another gig. In the next few days, he hopes to stop hauling diesel and fretting about generator maintenance.
Oreck opens its Long Beach facility. Although the plant opens, it's not the same. The roof leaks. Information systems remain out due to a lack of communications infrastructure, and just two of five manufacturing lines are open. Oreck is manufacturing, shipping and receiving with pen and paper rather than computers driving processes. Power is back on but the phone lines are still down, leaving the factory cut off from its Dallas data center.
Electronic communication with the outside world has been reduced to executives calling suppliers from beneath the crumpled metal canopy of an outside break area, the spot where cell phone reception is best. Oreck supply chain director Candi Mauffray, however, says the factory is getting by, with 300 of 500 employees and 80% of the salaried staff back at work. "The one thing we don't have is systems," she says.
Indeed, at a Langhorne, Pa., company-owned Oreck outlet, the following sign sits at the checkout counter: "Please note our computer system is 'down' indefinitely. This is due to the fact that Oreck's corporate offices are located in New Orleans, La. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we provide written receipts."

Adobe evangelist Christophe Coenraets recently made available an extremely helpful tutorial called Flex for Android in 90 minutes (.pdf). In around 90 minutes, you will learn how to build an Android application using Adobe AIR, Flex Mobile and the Flash Builder "Burrito" preview release.
The tutorial covers a number of important topics including how to create a basic mobile application, using mobile item renderers, navigating and passing information between views, creating an action bar, integrating with the device capabilities (dialer, SMS, email), using a RemoteObject, and using a local SQLite database. To get started, you will need to first download the Flash Builder Burrito release from Adobe Labs.
Below is a summary of the material covered directly from the document:
In this tutorial, you use Flash Builder "Burrito" and Flex "Hero" to build a simple, yet fully functional employee directory application for Android devices. "Burrito" is the code name for the next version of Flash Builder, and "Hero" is the code name for the next version of the Flex SDK. You don't need an Android device to complete this tutorial: you can use the simple emulator available in Flash Builder Burrito to run and debug the application. The Employee Directory application allows you to: search for employees, view employee details, navigate up and down the org chart, and call, text, and email employees.
Of course, Christophe is known for pushing the limits. With the recent beta 2 release of the BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR, Christophe decided to see just how difficult it would be to port his Android application to the BlackBerry Playbook. How difficult was it?
"It turned out to be amazingly simple: I was able to run the application without changing a line of code, with a great and consistent deployment experience: You select the target platform, hit the run button, and the app is packaged, deployed, and started on the device you selected."
Below is a video demonstration by Christophe showing the application running on a Google Nexus One, Samsung Galaxy Tab and the BlackBerry Playbook Emulator.
Our team is fully focused on making it as easy as possible for developers to target applications that can run across different devices from desktop computers to smart phones to tablet devices and televisions. If you are building an application and would like to let us know about it, please leave us a comment!

Old-Man Murdoch Promises 'New Vigor and Strength' in 2010
Rupert Murdoch sent out a memo today to reassure his News Corp. charges that, recession or not, their media conglomerate remains on top and is growing revenue. "Organically," which is heartening. Full memo after the jump. But don't let the hippie-dippie "organic" language fool you into thinking Murdoch is turning liberal; despite rumors of an internal feud, Murdoch still gives prominent praise to his right-tilting Fox News Channel and Wall Street Journal in the memo below, albeit after a nod to Avatar, a film about native peoples' struggle against mining interests. And he sounds as defiant as ever about free internet content, citing the Journal's effort at "instituting fair pricing for digital journalism" as a major accomplishment. He's about to turn 79, but Murdoch sounds like he's still very much in a hurry.
(Disclaimer: I stand to make some money off that HarperCollins "adaptation to the needs of... new distribution technologies" Murdoch mentions.)

Avalanche Push Wild To Elimination Situation
ST. PAUL (AP) — Twice in five games, the Minnesota Wild have been less than 75 seconds from a victory on the road.
Both times, the Colorado Avalanche got the tying goal late in regulation before winning in overtime.
Now the Wild are facing an elimination situation, with the Avalanche visiting for Game 6 on Monday and leading the first-round playoff series 3-2.
If the Wild are not able to ignore the what-if feelings of frustration from those narrow losses, they'll be in trouble against an Avalanche team that perked up on Saturday after consecutive flat performances in Games 3 and 4.
But being on the edge might work in the Wild's favor. They played some of their best games this season while missing key players.

Appeals Court Reverses Previous Decision That Found Warrants Used In Kim Dotcom's Arrest 'Invalid'
from the the-wheels-of-justice-also-apparently-tread-water dept
The Kim Dotcom saga rolls on. The legal process that resulted in Dotcom's New Zealand mansion being raided by local police was always questionable, a fact that was never more obvious than when a New Zealand high court judge declared the warrants used in the raid "invalid" because they were "general warrants" that failed to specify what offense justified the raid as well as what particular items were being sought.
As Mike noted then, the warrants were problematic because they failed to specify which US law(s) had been broken (or whose laws, for that matter), something rather important in a case being run by the US government. A New Zealand appeals court saw things differently, however.
A New Zealand appeals court ruled Wednesday that police acted legally when armed officers raided Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom's Auckland mansion as part of a US-led online piracy probe.According to the appeals court, the warrants weren't invalid, but just mildly screwed up.
The decision overturned an earlier finding that the January 2012 dawn raid was unlawful because the search warrants police used were too broad to be considered reasonable.
An appeals bench of three judges found the warrants were "defective in some respects" but not enough to render them invalid.As the appeals court sees it, failing to specify which set of laws was being applied (US/New Zealand) is more like a typo than an indication that the underlying legal basis is flawed. I would hazard a guess that "errors of expression" are the sort of thing that tend to crop up more frequently when one law enforcement agency acts on the behalf of another country's government… which is in turn acting on behalf of an industry.
"This really was a case of error of expression. The defects were defects in form not in substance," they said in a 44-page written judgement.
And this warrant discussion isn't completely over. Dotcom's team is planning to appeal the decision, which will subject these admittedly faulty (by two courts!) warrants to another round of scrutiny, something that can't be welcome news for the US government's prosecution team.

This comprehensive exhibition explores the extraordinary life of Charles Darwin (1809-1882) whose curiosity, observations and discoveries nearly 150 years ago forever changed the perception of the origin of species and launched modern biological science. Simple yet at times controversial, misunderstood and misused for social goals, Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection theory remains unchallenged as the central concept of modern biology.
Two hundred years after the birth of the great English naturalist, Darwin's theory is still at the centre of cultural debate. First on view at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the exhibition interweaves the languages of history, narrative, naturalism, philosophy of science and contemporary experimental research. The adventurous life of the young Darwin, his complex family relations, his involvement in the English culture of the time and its conflicts, and the celebrated five-year journey round the world are documented in the show---from the initial questions, discoveries nd fears to the publication of The Origin of Species, which caused such outcry, in 1859. Including previously unexhibited material and organized in collaboration with Codice Cultura, the Italian version is curated by Niles Eldredge, head of the invertebrates division of the American Museum of Natural History in New York and one of the leading contemporary evolutionists, with the aid of Ian Tattersall, one of the world's leading experts on human evolution and director of the Hall of Human Evolution at the American Museum of Natural History.
