|Alecto by House of Rage
We are told that evil is about to evolve. Will it be subtle and seductive? A soft kiss and the flick of a serpent's tongue? That evil is here now. We see it in the new Evolution line of fashions at the House of Rage. Designs of grace and charm with a touch of evil. So it was that I was drawn in by the charming veneer of a most sinister outfit called Alecto. It's a fitting name for a design coming from the House of Rage. In ancient Greek, Alecto means unceasing anger.
Click on the pictures to enlarge them for better viewing
In Greek Mythology, Alecto is one of the Erinyes, called the Furies by the Romans. The Erinyes are three sisters, daughers of Gaea (Earth), who sprang from Gaea as she was fertilized by the blood raining down from Uranus (Heaven) when Cronus, their son and leader of the Titans, castrated the terrible deity at the urging of his mother, as told by the poet Hesiod in his Theogony. The sisters are Alecto (unceasing anger), Tisiphone (avenger of blood), and Magarea (the jealous one). The Erintyes are avenging deities who persecute unpunished criminals with unrelenting fury, especially murderers guilty of patricide, matricide, or fratricide. The sisters unmercifully pursue their guilty targets, howling at them by day and tormenting them in their dreams at night. Their attacks are devastatingly psychological creating unbearable pangs of conscience. So relentless is their pursuit that their victims either go mad or commit suicide. In appearance, the Erinyes are frightening - coils of serpents crown their heads and their eyes dripped blood. They are lead to the guilty by the flaming torch carried by their leader, Alecto.
|The Matricide Orestes Pursued by the Furies by Willam-Adolphe Bouguereau (1862)
When I wore Alecto in public for the first time, I was immediately greeted at my favorite pub with 'Mariko, you look ravishing.' This dress has a very affecting allure. It's charm is evident; but, the spiked fur collar hints of the diabolical. Alecto was designed by Lybra Rage, one of the three fashion designers at The House of Rage who created the Evolution line, the others being Topaz Joubert and LovelyMiwako7399 Men. Alecto comes with ripped top, fur jacket, collar fur, miniskirt, miniskirt prim, miniskirt fur, and hose. It sells for L$700.
You can also remove the fur collared jacket and fur skirt to get an attractive look that is quite fetching. I like how it graces my figure.
This really cute shag is from HairARt and is called Sayen. Sayen was designed by Sebass Easterwood and sells for L$220 for one color. Sayen means sweet and lovely in the language of the Mapuche, a native american people indigenous to Chile. This hair style must give me a 1950 retro look. I have been told by various people that I look like Audrey Hepburn, Leslie Caron, and Elizabeth Taylor in this hair. Of course, I'm so flattered and thrilled when people say my avatar reminds them of those classic Hollywood lovelies. What avatar wouldn't be?

I came across Alecto and the House of Rage in the fashion blog of my good friend Meimei Shiu. MeiMei modeled Alecto and other outfits for House of Rage. She looks fabulous. See for your self and take a look at her blog.

Sentimental Sunday: Navy Grandfather and WWII
Past Down's of Dad's Navy Days by Jim Eiswerth
My dad often reminisces about some of his days in the US Navy during and after WWII. For someone 88 years old he still remembers several interesting things from his sailor days. I try to call and talk to my dad every Sunday morning and this past Sunday we got talking about his time in Rhode Island.
After basic training up in the Great Lakes, dad was stationed at the Naval Air Station at Quonset Point, Rhode Island. In the Navy dad was assigned to be a sheet metal mechanic primarily in support of Navy aircraft.
Being a farm boy from the middle of Pennsylvania, dad had little exposure to aircraft of any type. On his first day after reporting into his Chief, other more senior sailors/mechanics told dad to go get a bucket of prop-wash to clean the plane they were working on. So dad grabbed a bucket and started out asking everyone where he could get some prop-wash. After walking almost the entire field, someone finally told him that prop-wash was just the turbulent air being pushed behind a plane by its propeller. When he made it back to his group they all had a big laugh. Dad must have taken the hazing pretty good, and laugh right with them, because they all became friends.
Dad remembers his Chief, Chief Dollan by name, who had retired from the Navy and was called back due to the war. While dad was at the Naval Air Station, they had a shortage of people working in the control tower. Chief Dollan "volunteered" dad to help out. At the time Quonset Point was a very busy place. Airplanes were being delivered from Grumman and other suppliers and flown out to the various Navy groups. Other planes were being used to train pilots, while others were working submarine patrols in the North Atlantic. Dad was assigned the job of logging all flights, time of departures, number of planes in the flight, destination, and had to calculate their ETA- estimated time of arrival. If the planes were leaving Quonset Point, he then had to call the destination airport to give them this information. Dad said that the pressures from the volume of airplanes he had to keep track of drove him to smoke cigarettes like everyone else in the tower. This was the one and only time he smoked. Until just a few years ago he could still remember most of the other Navy airport phone numbers he called so often.
Dad always spoke kindly of Chief Dollan. When dad had arranged for a leave, especially in the fall of the year where his dad, my grandfather, was trying to bring in crops, Chief Dollan would let dad leave earlier often chasing him out, or helping him arrange transportation to the train station. Once Chief Dollan turned a blind eye during roll call, when dad made it back a little late due to train connection problems in Philadelphia. During roll call, Delmore, one of dad's sailor friends, said present when Eiswerth's name was called. The Chief knew but just continued with roll call. When dad arrived a few hours later, Chief Dollan just asked how the work went at home.
Getting home to the middle of Pennsylvania by train wasn't always a lot of fun. To save time, dad tried to catch rides with pilots that were headed to the Philadelphia area. Once he hopped a ride with a full Navy Commander who was flying a TBF/TBM – torpedo bomber. Dad had to sit backwards in the rear gunner's seat. On landing the plane blew a tire, skidded off the runway, and flipped nose first into the grass. The emergency crew lowered the plane and got everyone out safe and sound. The Commander asked dad if he was alright, to which dad responded, "Yes sir, thank you sir, but I will be taking the train from now on!"

GOOPy workout and her Friends
GOOP is still tight with Tracy Anderson. Or... GOOP has money in Tracy Anderson's Method and needs to protect her investment. Whatever the reason, today's newsletter is about fitness and, specifically, Anderson's fitness system. Note however they way Gwyneth words her introduction:
"Many of you may already know of my passion for the Tracy Anderson Method and my investment in it..." Can be interpreted in many ways.
So Tracy is magic for bodies. She transforms them. She can transform yours. There's a video for your arms here. And there are also several celebrity testimonials. And this is where it gets even more interesting.
The first testimonial comes from Courteney Cox, best friend of Jennifer Aniston who was recently spotted holding hands with Gwyneth at that hotel opening in Morocco last fall. There's another connection in here too. Courteney and Jennifer are tight with Sheryl Crow. G sang back up for Sheryl Crow on one of her albums. It's a web of girls. And GOOP is passing around her trainer. Tracy lost Madonna and gained the Friends. Oh my G you crafty bitch.

Congratulations on a beautiful top!
Love the name you choose, too. There's a balance between chaos and order, and the wheels keep turning (towards summer...)
I am into quilting by hand right now. Those wheels might be quilted in rounds? It's a big top, so maybe a long term project?

Oh my, my, my, my, my!! I am soooo in love with it!! It is absolutely stunning. Now I need to put this on my list of to dos. GORGEOUS!! So here is an idea for quilting... you could send it to me to quilt, however I can't guarantee it would make it back to you... LOL! But seriously, quilting on this one will be difficult to see as the pattern and fabric is so busy. I say you keep it simple, nothing elaborate you really don't need it.

This is just amazing. I like the combinations of the matching strips and pinwheels with the made fabric. It's hugely effective and beautifully made.

I can stay on your page all day looking at this quilt! It's gorgeous!!! I just wrote to another friend very recently that she makes me want to expect more out of myself. You do the same for me!

What a fantastic quilt. The fabrics and colours are great. What fun it would have been to make. I'd like to make one too love string quilts.
Good luck with the quilting I think I'd have to get it done professionally if I did it myself I know it would never be finished. I find hand quilting quilts that size is very cumbersome.
- March 21, 2012 at 5:43 AM
- Kathy said...
Congratulations! Like Sujata, I could spend all day looking at this quilt. The close ups are terrific. This is going on my list of all time favorites. Thanks too for explaining your process.

- regan said...
This quilt is AWESOME in every way! I want to make one now! I have no suggestions for quilting it, but I'm guessing with so many seams, it's NOT a hand quilting project! lol

Hi Nifty, What a stunner - of course your workmanship is superb, but this quilt wouldn't have its zing without your amazing eye for color and design! Fabulous! And on such a riot of color and pattern, simple quilting would be best imho. Thanks so much for sharing the quilt, and your journey. :)
- March 21, 2012 at 6:36 AM

Congratulations on sticking with it and thanks for the great tutorial for the pinwheel centers! It has so much to look at and certainly qualifies as a 'happy quilt'.

Oooohhh so gorgeous! You did it very quickly too! Glad to see that method worked--I may restart mine following that, once I dig out of a few ongoing projects...well maybe! But yours is beautiful!
- March 21, 2012 at 7:29 AM
- Quiltdivajulie said...
OH MY GOODNESS this is utterly awesome! Thank you SO much for including the how to for the center pinwheels (I've been so curious how you pulled that off).
EXCELLENT post and AMAZING quilt ... Congratulations!!!
Thanks for sharing this journey with all of us.

- Vivian said...
Ooohh, so wonderful! And I love that the pieces connect to reate a square block. Going to check back through your posts--are all the strips done same size? I'm like everyone else, I want to make one too!
The quilting? Depends on what you are doing for the back. If it's busy too just stipple but if not you might want to do more playing to create another view on the back.
- March 21, 2012 at 7:37 AM
- Cheryl Willis said...
I have enjoyed watching your progress, this quilt is beautiful! Thanks for the mini tutorial. I have tried doing the spiderweb paper pieced and got board too quick. I think my biggest problem is I want to 'see' the blocks and don't like waiting for the reveal. This was way worth waiting for!!

I love your quilt. This is quilt is on my "bucket list" as well. I have both books you mentioned, but just haven't gotten the UMP to start it. I will consider though your techinique of making a strata first. Would you share your measurements for the blocks? Again--beautiful work!
- March 21, 2012 at 11:29 AM
- Kim said...
And I agree with all those comments ahead of me plus simply WOW.
Nice info and an ahhhhh moment for me
honestly I couldn't figure it out on my own.
This is a huge quilt, would you consider sending it out to be machine quilted?
What ever you decide it is just GREAT!
happy Sewing

I'm about to fall off my chair because I'm so excited about your quilt! It makes me want to get started right now and be a copycat!! Thank you for sharing how you went about making it. I have Sarah's book and have looked at that pattern many times oogling over it. Yours is one of the best I've seen. I'm going to say do a simple overall quilting design...maybe circles to accentuate the "web". Congratulations!
- March 21, 2012 at 11:48 AM
- Dora, the Quilter said...
This is a really wonderful quilt. You've done a spectacular job--clearly the months you worked on this were well spent.

This quilt top is as vibrant as you are. What a fun and wonderful combination of fabrics.

- meli B said...
That sure deserved a ta-da! What a massive job. Each block stands on it's own 2 feet. I don't know how you did it - at least I do now, because of your little tutorial. I didn't realise they were made in square blocks because your progress photos showed completed wheels rather than the squares. Anyway it is a masterpiece and you should be very pleased with yourself.
- March 22, 2012 at 3:05 AM
- Janet said...
That's one very big ta da moment, it looks sensational. Congrats on the piecing marathon and the amazing quilt. I want one now but not sure I have the stickability.
- March 22, 2012 at 3:41 AM
- Anna said...
Simply amazing, its a work of art.
Quilting may I suggest the old standard of baptist fans, if hand quilting - baptist fans a la Tonya Ricucci, or a simple grid there is movement in the design and colours.
- March 22, 2012 at 5:01 AM
Really appreciate that you told us how you did this quilt. And LOVED how you did the template all labeled for where what and ect. I will REMEMBER that and just make templates knowing that I will not "loose" it before quilt is finished. Great quilt.l

Absolutely beautiful!!! Quilting can be anything at all...the fabrics will be the focus so the quilting can just be simple..in my opinion.
Great job!

Hi LeeAnn, I just had to take another look at your terrific spiderweb. It's just soooo beautiful, and fun too - I can tell from the comments that many others feel the same way. How about you, is it special to you?
- March 25, 2012 at 8:35 PM
- Pauline said...
Weeks ago when I first saw what you were doing with scraps I HAD to do it too! I've only got a few pieces done as I really try to make myself finish what I've started before starting something else. So my few blocks and the "kites" are on my design board to inspire me. Your quilt is absolutely georgous and I hope mine will look as good. Thanks so much for sharing this one.

Thanks for the tutorial on how it's made. I sure couldn't figure it out. Love the pinwheels. I'll bet it would be really tough - almost impossible! - to do this without a design wall!
I think it needs all-over Baptist Fans, but then, I think most every busy quilt needs that! hee hee! I know, I'm no help.

That is such an impressive quilt I wish I had the courage to make one I also love your tutorial thank you I also made one and I hand stitched it I sort followed the shapes and echoed them ,I will be in Oregon,for two weeks I am flying on the 9th and I will be busy helping my mom pack for movers and doing some paperwork that needs to be done I am a bit nervous and hoping that all goes smoothly it would be nice to see you but the distance doesn't make it easy since I will be also a bit busy getting things organized and ready, take care. theodora

Hi, I hope you won't mind a second comment? I lost your email so had to contact you this way. While surfing yesterday, I ran into this blog: http://www.15minutesplay.com/. The quilter used her crumbs to make larger pieces, then made HST's from them! Brilliant! So, this afternoon while watching Nascar with DH, I began making large squares, (I say sqyares loosely as they aren't really square). From these I'll carefully lay out my "kite" template and try to get several pieces from each square. I think it'll work, don't you?

Beautiful! I've been working on a similar spiderweb for a long time, paper-piecing, and wish I had started off without the paper! Also have no idea how to quilt it whenever I finish. Found your blog today and love it!

the Memorandum Of Understanding on the Generic Top Level Domain Name Space of the Internet Domain Name System ("gTLD-MoU") signed in Geneva on May 1, 1997; and Section 7 of the gTLD-MoU providing for the establishment of a Council of Registrars ("CORE") and for the signature by Registrars of a Memorandum of Understanding defining CORE-gTLDs and policies under which CORE must operate;
the Signatories to this Memorandum of Understanding ("CORE-MoU") hereby agree:
Article 1. Definitions
The following definitions apply herein:
"Domain Name System" ("DNS") means the Internet naming system as defined in RFC 1591;
"Top Level Domain" ("TLD") means the highest level of domain name as defined in RFC 1591;
"Second Level Domain" ("SLD") means the level of domain names immediately below the TLDs;
"Generic Top Level Domains" ("gTLDs") means the TLDs ".com", ".org", ".net" as defined in RFC 1591, and those TLDs established in or under the authority of this MoU;
"Registry" means those roles and activities involved in the administration of a TLD in the Domain Name System, and encompasses all of the services needed for assignment and maintenance of that TLD and its registrations;
"Registrar" means the entity which is authorized to enter and modify the Second Level Domain (SLD) data maintained by a Registry, in response to requests by entities seeking to be assigned a SLD;
"Council of Registrars" ("CORE") means the operational organization composed of authorized Registrars for managing allocations under gTLDs;
"CORE-gTLD" means any gTLD that is, at a given time, subject to the provisions of this MoU;
"gTLD-MoU" means the Memorandum of Understanding on the Generic Top Level Domain Name Space of the Internet Domain Name System;
"Administrative Domain Name Challenge Panels" ("ACPs") means the panels established under the gTLD-MoU to entertain challenges by third parties to the allocation of second-level domain names;
"POC" means the Policy Oversight Committee established by the gTLD-MoU;
"iPOC" means the interim POC established by the gTLD-MoU;
"IAHC" means the International Ad Hoc Committee established by ISOC and IANA; "PAB" means the Policy Advisory Body established by the gTLD-MoU;
"Affiliate" means, with respect to any given entity, any other entity directly or indirectly Controlling, Controlled by, or under common Control with, such entity:
"Control" over an entity means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other equity interest, representation on its board of directors or body performing similar functions, by contract or otherwise; the terms "controlling" and "controlled" will have corollary meaning;
"Repository" means the primary (master) data facility for a Registry; and
"Registration Agreement" means the agreement governing the assignment of an SLD to any entity by a Registrar.
Article 2. Principles
The following principles set forth in the gTLD-MoU are adopted as part of this CORE-MoU:
(a) the Internet Top Level Domain (TLD) name space is a public resource and is subject to the public trust;
(b) any administration, use and/or evolution of the Internet TLD space is a public policy issue and should be carried out in the interests and service of the public;
(c) related public policy needs to balance and represent the interests of the current and future stakeholders in the Internet name space;
(d) the current and future Internet name space stakeholders can benefit most from a self?regulatory and market-oriented approach to Internet domain name registration services;
(e) registration services for the gTLD name space should provide for global distribution of Registrars;
(f) as set forth in Section 2(f) of the gTLD-MoU, as it may from time to be amended, a policy shall be implemented that a second-level domain name in any of the CORE-gTLDs which is identical or closely similar to an alphanumeric string that, for the purposes of this policy, is deemed to be internationally known, and for which demonstrable intellectual property rights exist, may be held or used only by, or with the authorization of, the owner of such demonstrable intellectual property rights. Appropriate consideration shall be given to possible use of such a second-level domain name by a third party that, for the purposes of this policy, is deemed to have sufficient rights;
Article 3. gTLDs
(a) The CORE-gTLDs shall be, initially, the gTLDs created by the iPOC pursuant to Section 9(a) of the gTLD MoU, and shall thereafter be any additional gTLDs created pursuant to Section 9(b) of the gTLD-MoU.
(b) Pending the expiration or appropriate amendment of the NSF Cooperative Agreement No. NCR-9218742 under which the ".com", ".org" and ".net" gTLDs are presently administered, the ".com", ".org" and ".net" gTLDs shall not be subject to the provisions of this CORE-MoU.
(c) Likewise, as long as the ".com", ".org" and ".net" gTLDs are not subject to the provisions of this MoU,any Registrar which administers those gTLDs may not be considered to be a gTLD Registrar for the purposes of this CORE-MoU.
(d) The two-character top level domain name space within the DNS, which is reserved for ISO 3166 country codes under existing accepted Internet RFCs, shall not be subject to the provisions of this CORE-MoU.
Article 4. Registrar Qualifications and Applications
(a) Applicants to be Registrars shall complete an application form to demonstrate compliance with the requirements to qualify to sign the CORE-MoU as set forth in Appendix A to this CORE-MoU. The application form is set forth at http://www.gtld-mou.org/docs/application.htm. Each such application shall be reviewed by an independent auditing agency. The iPOC shall process, or cause to be processed, the first round of applications by entities that have applied to act as Registrars.
(b) As provided in Section 6(j)(ii), (iii) and (v) of the gTLD-MoU, the POC may from time to time establish new terms and conditions for applications by entities desiring to be Registrars, and may, following consultation with the PAB and CORE, remove Registrars who do not operate consistently with the requirements of the gTLD-MoU and the CORE-MoU. Until such time as the POC provides otherwise, the provisions of this Article shall apply to all applications.
(c) Affiliated entities may only submit one application among them. Questions whether two or more organizations are in fact affiliated shall be resolved by iPOC for the first round of applications, and thereafter by CORE.
(d) No Registrar may transfer or assign any of its rights or obligations to any other entity without the prior written consent of the POC, which shall act in its sole discretion, and in the interest of the stability of the DNS and the Internet generally. Any change of ownership or control which would cause the Registrar to fail to meet the then current requirements for selection shall disqualify the Registrar, and it shall no longer have the right to function as a Registrar.
Article 5. Structure and Responsibilities of CORE
(a) Each entity selected under Article 4 above as qualified to sign the CORE-MoU shall become a member of CORE and, if it conforms to the operational and technical requirements set by CORE, shall become a Registrar. After the commencement of registration activities by CORE, only registrars may remain members of CORE. Registrars, and only Registrars, shall participate in the on-going activities of CORE.
(b) CORE shall be incorporated under the laws of Switzerland as a Swiss Association governed by Articles 60 -79 of the Swiss Civil Code.
(c) Except with respect to the first round of applications for Registrars, which shall be processed or caused to be processed by iPOC, CORE shall process or cause to be processed all applications by entities that have applied to act as Registrars.
(d) CORE shall establish and enforce requirements that each Registrar operate in all respects consistently with the provisions of this CORE-MoU.
(e) CORE shall establish such policies and technical protocols as are necessary to insure that SLDs are assigned on a first come first served basis with respect to registrar interaction with the CORE repository database for the gTLD under which the SLD is being registered. However, CORE may establish policies and technical protocols such that something similar to a "round robin" order of processing applications by Registrars for SLDs is used by the repositories. No duplicate SLDs shall be assigned in the same gTLD.
(f) CORE shall maintain Repositories of all SLDs registered by the Registrars, and shall adopt the most expeditious procedures which implement correct and reliable repository services. There shall be a separate repository for each gTLD. CORE shall establish and enforce a requirement that each Registrar provide the data set forth in Appendix B to this CORE-MoU for each SLD registered by such Registrar. CORE shall make the data in each Repository available and updated on a daily basis so that it can be searched (e.g., by whois) or downloaded as a complete file on the Internet (e.g., by ftp). CORE shall generate DNS zone files for use by DNS servers.
(g) CORE shall provide financial support to the POC (and to its predecessors, IAHC and iPOC) for the reimbursement of reasonable expenses actually incurred in carrying out the responsibilities of those organizations. POC shall retain such amounts of application fees paid by Registrars as are needed to reimburse such expenses, and CORE and POC shall agree from time to time on a budget for POC to be financed by funds received by CORE.
(h) CORE shall ensure that its implementation of digital signature technology is consistent with the state of the art. POC shall review and approve CORE security designs.
(i) CORE shall establish and enforce requirements that Registrars shall not register SLDs in the CORE-gTLDs for their own account or for accounts of an Affiliate for the purpose of trafficking in SLDs for sale, resale or transfer to applicants.
(j) CORE shall establish and enforce procedures and requirements for the payment by Registrars of the fees specified in Article 6(d)(ii) below for registration of SLDs.
Article 6. Registration Policies for SLDs in the gTLDS
The following rules shall apply to the registration of SLDs in the gTLDs by Registrars:
(a) Each Registrar may accept applications for the assignment of SLDs in any CORE-gTLD.
(b) Each Registrar may charge such fees, if any, as it determines, in its reasonable discretion, for the services it performs.
(c) Each Registrar shall enter into Registration Agreements and accept applications for the assignment of SLDs only on forms containing at least the requests for information and the legal language set forth in Appendix C to this CORE-MoU.
(d) No SLD shall be assigned to any entity until:
(i) the required application form has been satisfactorily completed and received and accepted by the Registrar; and
(ii) a fee per SLD which shall be established from time to time by CORE has been paid by the Registrar and received by CORE.
(e) No SLD shall be maintained in force beyond one year unless an annual maintenance fee which shall be established from time to time by CORE has been paid by the Registrar of the SLD and the fee has been received by CORE.
(f) SLDs shall be assigned to qualified applicants as provided in Article 5(f) above. No discriminatory conditions shall be imposed upon applicants. Registrars shall offer to each applicant the opportunity to publish the applicant's requested domain name for a period of up to 60 days before the assignment of the domain name takes effect. If this option is accepted, such fact shall be made a part of the permanent record of the applicant's domain name registration.
(g) CORE Registrars will not examine applications for second-level domain names for conformance with the policy stated in Article 2(f) above.
(h) CORE shall notify the Registrant, as well as the Registrar, prior to cancellation of any SLD for any reason.
Article 7. Disputes Between Domain Name Holders and Third Parties
(I) Applicant acknowledges that, by virtue of the provisions of the gTLD-MoU, any third party may challenge the assignment to or use by Applicant of the domain name before an Administrative Domain Name Challenge Panel ("ACP") in accordance with the WIPO ACP Rules. Applicant further acknowledges that the decisions of an ACP may determine rights of Applicant and/or other parties with respect to the assignment, registration and use of a particular domain name, and agrees to be bound by the ACP decisions.
(II) Applicant agrees that any dispute, controversy or claim ("Claim") between Applicant and a third party, arising out of or relating to this application for, and registration and use of, the domain name shall, upon the filing of a Request for Mediation by the third party with the WIPO Center, be submitted to on-line mediation in accordance with the WIPO On-Line Mediation Rules. Applicant further agrees that, to the extent (a) any such Claim has not been settled pursuant to such mediation within 30 days of the commencement of the mediation, or (b) before the expiration of such 30 day period, either party fails to participate or to continue to participate in the mediation, the Claim shall, upon the filing of a Request for Arbitration by the third party, be referred to and finally determined by on-line arbitration in accordance with the WIPO On-Line Expedited Arbitration Rules. Such arbitration procedure shall not be implemented if Applicant declines mandatory submission to arbitration by checking the box below. The language to be used in the mediation or arbitration shall be English, unless the parties agree otherwise. Whether or not the parties decide that an in-person hearing is necessary, the place of arbitration shall be deemed to be, unless the parties agree otherwise, either the location of Applicant as indicated in the Registration Agreement or the location of the Registrar, at the option of the third party.
Applicant declines a mandatory submission to arbitration in the case of Claims referred to in the paragraph above.
(a) The ACPs established pursuant to Section 8 of the gTLD-MoU shall operate in accordance with the procedural rules established by the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "WIPO Center"), and shall apply the substantive guidelines set forth in Appendix D to this CORE-MoU.
(b) Registrars shall include in their Registration Agreements and application forms for assignment of SLDs the following paragraphs:
(c) Registrars and CORE shall cooperate with the WIPO Center by promptly providing any information or materials requested by the Center in the context of a domain name dispute, and shall be obligated to honor and implement all ACP decisions and the results of any WIPO arbitration and mediation proceedings concerning second level domain names in the CORE-gTLDs. The WIPO Center shall notify CORE and the relevant Registrar(s) of any results and decisions of ACP, mediation or arbitration proceedings that require action by CORE.
Article 8 . General Provisions and Review
(a) This CORE-MoU shall enter into force when signed on behalf of the iPOC.
(b) The Signatories agree to review periodically the results and consequences of their cooperation under this CORE-MoU and, when appropriate, consider the need for improvements in their cooperation, and communicate suitable proposals for modifying and updating the terms and scope of this CORE-MoU to the POC and PAB.
(c) The POC may initiate an amendment or amendments to this MoU only after consultation with the PAB and CORE. An amendment to this CORE-MoU shall enter into force when it has been signed on behalf of the POC; no other or additional signature shall be required.
(d) This CORE-MoU shall be governed by the laws of Switzerland.
(e) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this CORE-MoU, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules as at present in force. The appointing authority shall be the Secretary General of the Permanent Court of Arbitration. There shall be a sole arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be Geneva. The language to be used in the arbitral procedure shall be English. The dispute, controversy or claim shall be decided in accordance with Swiss law.
Article 9. Legal Terms and Conditions
Each signatory which intends to become a Registrar (referred to below as "Registrar" to distinguish it from iPOC) agrees as follows:
(a) For the purposes of these Legal Terms and Conditions, "Administrative Parties" means CORE, all other Registrars, POC (or iPOC as specified in the gTLD-MoU) and the PAB, and each of their directors, officers, members, employees, affiliates and representatives.
(b) Registrar affirms that it has the full power and authority, including any internal corporate approvals, necessary to operate as a Registrar.
(c) Registrar's activities under CORE will not (i) conflict with the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other applicable governing document of Registrar, (ii) conflict with, or result in the breach or termination of, or constitute a default under, any lease, agreement, commitment or other agreement or instrument, or any order, judgment or decree, to which Registrar is a party or by which Registrar is bound, or (iii) constitute a violation by Registrar of any applicable law or regulation.
(d) Registrar waives all claims or other legal recourse against the Administrative Parties arising from or related to CORE activities, to the extent permitted by law.
(e) Registrar agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Parties from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, deficiencies, losses, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in the investigation and defense of claims, actions or demands resulting from or arising out of any misrepresentation or breach of any term of this CORE-MoU by Registrar.
(f) Each Registrar agrees that any claim arising out of or relating to this CORE- MoU, or the breach, termination or invalidity hereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules as are at present in force. The appointing authority shall be the Secretary General of the Permanent Court of Arbitration. There shall be a sole arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be Geneva. The language used in the arbitral process shall be English. The claim shall be decided in accordance with Swiss law.
(g) Registrar shall have no right, title or interest in any gTLD or in any SLD in the CORE-gTLDs, other than those SLDs, if any, registered by the Registrar for use for its own account.

Auburn hires Bruce Pearl as basketball coach
Wed., March 19, 2014
New Auburn coach Bruce Pearl wasted no time making an impression. The former Tennessee coach sprung for pizza for several hundred students Tuesday a few hours after arriving in town, some of whom took selfies posing next to him. Then he told a couple thousand fans at Auburn Arena: "We're fixing to get Auburn into that position where we'll be going to the NCAA tournament." The Tigers turned to Pearl on Tuesday to revive a struggling basketball program that hasn't been to the NCAA tournament in more than a decade. Athletic director Jay Jacobs landed his top target with a 6-year deal worth $2.2 million annually less than a week after firing Tony Barbee. Pearl remains under a show-cause penalty from the NCAA barring him from recruiting until Aug. 23. – AP

I liked the illustrations because the pictures are clear. The color scheme was filled with soft color tones. It provides you with the feeling of actually being in space which is cool.
I would recommend this book to any one who dreams about experiencing a great space voyage. This book has made me realize that I can achieve any goals I set for myself .This book will truly be an inspiration to you as well.

10,000 years is a long time to be alone, and to be alone like that can drive a person or city to insanity. This is where Atlantis is not just a city. Her time alone drove her into insanity and when the expidition arrives she takes the ones with the gene along with her. It can either be gradual or all at once but gene or not Mckay must be driven insane with the carriers. He and Sheppard are the cities 'favorites'. It can McShep. Bonus points to whoever can make it mostly cannon up until the ancients try to kick the expidition from Atlantis.
Jeanne McKay was the scientist working at Area 51, the SGC, who travelled on the Atlantis Expedition, and now three Years later, it's her brother Rodney that is brought to Atlantis. Sheppard feels the need to take Rodney under his wing during his stay, and can't help but notice the difference between Rodney and his sister, and the rapport that they immediately strike up, it's a companionable and affectionate bickering, and sniping, and John hasn't enjoyed someone's company in a long time.
Season 4 futuristic challenge or AU (like "The Road Not Taken") Write about a romantic pairing between Carter/McKay or Carter/McKay/Sheppard. Must be at least 1500 words, Bonus if you can make it a babyfic.

How about a Twilight crossover? 17 year old Meredith Rodney McKay goes to the town of Forks, Washington (for whatever reason the author chooses), and is instantly attracted to the mysterious 17 year old John Sheppard and his family. He doesn't know that they're vampires! John is like Edward: he can read people's minds, all except Rodney's. And Rodney is his Singer: his blood is more tempting to John than any others. You can have any of the other SGA or Sg1 characters in the story as John's family/foes, or you can use the Twilight characters, but replace Edward with John. But Ronan has to take the place of Jacob as a werewolf. The ending HAS to be either John/Rodney, or Rodney/Ronan. If you're up to it, I'm completely fine with John/Rodney/Ronan, but I strongly prefer McShep. :) Any characters from both SGA and SG1 are allowed, but this fic should be McShep centered! (Preferably in Rodney's perspective!)

Sheppard and McKay share the consciousness of two Ancients, they don't have long left, but want to spend this time together, it's agreed to, without quite realising that they were married, and that time together meant making love. And once they're gone, John and Rodney are left with the memories of having had sex together.
Sheppard's youth wasn't restored by the Wraith that drained him, instead, he has remained an old man. John and McKay had been together, not for long, but now Rodney is torn in what he's feeling towards John. John has refused to go back to Earth, wanting to stay in Atlantis, and Weir has allowed this, but he isn't expecting Rodney to care for him, he doesn't want Rodney to see him like that. Rodney knows that he should, knows that he should want to, and a part of him does, but another can't get past John's appearance. It was hard enough to be with another Man, John being the exception, and their Friendship essentially paving the way. From being with a Man in his prime, to an Old Man, that even with Atlantis' Transporters, can barely make it around the City, is too big of a leap for Rodney to make, and he's ashamed that he's not a big enough person to continue their Relationship. Although they don't initially know, the Wraith started the process of reversing the Feeding, and John is slowly recovering, and in a matter of Weeks, he'll be restored, but there is a massive wedge between him and Rodney. On the one hand, it's understandable, but they can't just forget what happened, it became almost mutually unspoken to not even visit, or continue their Friendship, and if Rodney couldn't be with John under those circumstances, should they even try to get past this.
The Ori are invading Earth, and with the Ancients still in control of Atlantis, the SGC ask them for help. The Ancients offer to let people evacuate to Atlantis, and into the Pegasus Galaxy. Sheppard's is one of the SG Teams leading the evacuation, very few actually make it through the Gate in time, and one of those is Rodney, coming through with the last few. They contact Teyla and Ronon, but they're all that's left.
Rodney McKay has been exploring the possibility that Ancient Technology puts off a potentially harmful Radiation to Humans, Ancients wouldn't have been affected, but the Expedition might have been. He's right, the Ancients knew it, and the affects are an altering of personality, and most seriously, of health. Everyone has been affected to a degree, but Rodney most seriously, having had the most exposure to Atlantis' Technology. Carson develops a treatment, and Rodney's going to be okay, but since he's been affected, he's quite uncharacteristically started a Relationship with another man, John Sheppard, and now he doesn't know if that's because of the affects of the Radiation.
John and Daniel are required to work alongside/with each other for an exteded period of time and become close. You can decide how close is "close."

A mission goes terribly wrong for SGA-1. McKay messes up something greatly (can be anything, but has to be a big mistake), which causes Sheppard to be captured. The resting SGA-1 members must return to Atlantis alone. Back in Atlantis (choose whatever season you want to have whomever you like best in charge) there is a decision made to send McKay home because of his mistake. McKay then runs away right into danger's hands to save Sheppard and redeem himself. Must have Sheppard/McKay pairing, NC-17 preferred but not necessary, happy ending.
I'd love to see our Alien friends Teyla and Ronon exploring Earth on a visit. Things like going to Wal-Mart, out to eat, and exploring other earth culture. And even better if they turn to chaos. Definately lighthearted and funny. Bonus for including Cadman or Lorne!

Some Alterans have arranged marriages, and John is one of those Alterans. Atlantis has just arrived in Pegasus, everyone is working setting up a new civilisation, and his Parents spring on him an arranged marriage. They're not mandatory, but are appreciated by the families that arrange them. What's not know is if you're going to get a boy or a girl, and John likes girls, he doesn't want to be married to a boy. John has never met anyone who's had a successful arranged marriage, and after seeing Rodney, doesn't believe that he's actually going to. He's horrible, arrogant, dismissive, and if John was ever going to go with a boy, it certainly would not be him. He's going to go through with it for his parents' sake, and then end it in a year. They can live separate lives, Rodney spending his time ensconced in the control room, and the labs, John spending it flying, and as much time spent away from their shared quarters as possible.
X-Men/SGA Crossover; The ATA Gene's similar as the Mutant Gene: All ATA Gene Carriers are Mutants, but not all Mutants are able to us Ancient Tech (only those w/ gene therapy, *which* only took if you had an active X Gene). Bonus Points For: Angel!John, Beast!Rodney, Quicksilver!Ronon, Nightcrawler!Radek & Storm!Liz. Have Fun:)

Trustees Ann Hicks (chair), Kevin Twomey, Floyd Willis, and Hank Rogers, and Bill Wilson
Trustee Toni Crawford and Carol Thompson
Chair Hicks called the meeting to order at 12:10 p.m. Chair Hicks asked for a motion to approve the minutes of the previous meeting that were circulated prior to the meeting. The minutes were approved unanimously.
Chair Hicks commented on the Founders' Day activities held that morning. She said Dr. Carpenter's remarks were very informative and she was proud to be a part of UNF's fabulous student body. She also thanked Ms. Deborah Kaye, Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Services, for the UNF bags that were given to each member at today's meeting.
Dr. Sandra Gupton, Professor of Educational Leadership and Chair of the Division of Curriculum and Instruction, College of Education and Human Services, was nominated to receive tenure as a condition of employment. Dr. Hank Camp explained the tenure process and gave a brief description of her accomplishments. Trustee Twomey stated it was helpful to have received the information in advance of the meeting. Chair Hicks then asked for a motion on the tenure nomination. Trustee Twomey moved and several seconded the motion to approve the nomination to be forwarded to the full Board of Trustees.
Ms. Kaye commented on the success of the recruitment efforts. She said UNF's total enrollment increased to 13,670 from last year's total of 13,160. The SAT increased from 1125 to 1135. There was an 8% increase in freshmen applications and a 4% increase in admitted students. Minority enrollment is stagnant and efforts will be made to enhance minority recruitment. Chair Hicks asked how many freshmen were enrolled this year. Ms. Kaye reported that 1,547 were enrolled for fall and 428 during the past summer. UNF's housing occupancy rate is at 107%.
Ms. Kaye reported that for the first time this year, UNF awards a guaranteed scholarship to top first time in college scholars who are admitted during the "Early Action" process. Students admitted to UNF as Early Action with a GPA of 3.5 and above, 1250 and above on SAT or a 27 and above ACT are awarded a scholarship of $4,000 over four years. Students with a GPA of 4.0 and above are awarded an $8,000 scholarship over four years. Trustee Twomey said he would be interested to know how many students applied and received the scholarship.
Shawn Brayton reported that the U.S. News and World Report puts out an annual ranking of colleges and universities. Whether the rankings is, in fact, the best barometer that UNF can use in judging its own success is certainly open to question, but a number of people pay attention to the yearly results. Students and their parents often turn to these rankings when researching schools which best fit their needs. Many institutions will examine these rankings to determine how they can improve their results for the next year. Therefore, the University felt it was important that the BOT and, in particular, the Education Planning Committee be informed about how these rankings are generated and how UNF is ranked.
UNF is currently listed in the report as a Tier Two Southern Regional University. The highest ranking UNF can obtain is a Tier One Southern Regional University, which Interim President Kline indicated he would like to achieve. Ms. Brayton walked the committee through a series of handouts to help explain the overall rankings and how UNF performed in relation to its Masters Tier 2 peers, university institutional benchmarks (peers and aspirational institutions), and to itself over the last 4 years. Interim President Kline noted that many of the Masters Tier 2 peers are smaller schools and many are private. Ms. Brayton reported UNF fit in the Tier 1 range in all but two areas: percentage of classes under 20 and student/faculty ratio. The trustees said they would be interested in knowing the names of benchmark schools. Chair Hicks asked who chose UNF's institutional peers and aspirational schools as benchmark schools. Interim President Kline explained that the Board of Regents with some consultation with the university administration chose the benchmark schools back in 1999. Trustee Willis indicated that as a measure of performance, he would be more interested to see a survey of student success after graduation, rather than the indicators outlined in the U.S. News rankings.
Dr. Hank Camp reported that UNF received a request from the Florida Board of Education to do a baccalaureate degree needs assessment, but were later learned it was not required. However, the university will go ahead and conduct a needs assessment in order to better understand the unmet needs in the region. Results of this study will enable local higher education institutions to develop appropriate degree programs to meet such unmet needs.
Chair Hicks asked how much of the agenda should be taken to the full Board. It was decided that the tenure nomination was the only item to go to the Board.
The meeting adjourned at 1:20 p.m. Submitted by Sharon Holeman.

Thank this author by sharing:
By Jason S Wong,
I have been looking for a query technique like this on the web and could not find any, anywhere, so I wrote one myself to solve this problem.
I have a huge query from business community wanting to run a report querying over 25 tables with many outer joins and returns 5 million records. The query first runs estimated 5 hours. I added 3 indexes now it runs 10 minutes. However, SQL Server select places "Share Lock" on default Read Committed Isolation Level.I don't want these source tables to be locked for insert update for 10 minutes.
So I use SNAPSHOT Isolation Level by doing the following commandALTER DATABSE AdventureWorks SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION on;
I also don't want the destination table appRpt1.TableInsert to be on Exclusive Lock for 10 minutes during insert. I wrote a recursive loop to insert incremental number of rows "@rIncnum" like the following:You can put a waitfor command in between to allow time for other queries on your busy server or use smaller @rIncnum.
Nobody got blocked. All queries are happy. The only lockes SNAPSHOT Isolation Level obtains is "Schema Stability" and on some locks on SQL internal objects. That has no effect to queries but makes sure schema is locked for no changes.I welcome all comments and share of your experiences.
To understand the mechanism:
1) do understand how SQLServer does Read Committed with a shared lock (dirty read, phantom read, repeatable read) before you read on. Read books by Thomas Kyte.2) CTE is captured in memory which is much faster if you have enough memory (you should, unless budget, inheritance issues).3) the 5 million records came from 25 tables joins, you cannot figure out which ones have changed in any time interval. Also I stated "from business community". As DBA does not get into business requirement background was, (BSA and developer should do so) DBA fixes inefficient queries and tells them the right things to do. You made a point, there is only so much DBA can push back business community.4) Ideally yes, the best practice is reporting server is a different one from transactional server. Too many companies directly report on transactional data (for budget, refresh, timing or various reasons).
Select ... with (nolock) = Read Uncommitted came along with side effects of dirty read, phantom read, repeatable read. If that meets your business requirements, you can do so.
Too many people are having this problem but they did not understand. This script illustrate the core of the issue (isolation level, any users can run query all day long, they should block as brief as possible, they should make transaction short and fast). Snapshot isolation actually reduces lock/blocking or deadlock.
Snapshot isolation does row versioning which use tempdb so you have to clear the way ahead making sure tempdb is on a fast drive and has enough space.
Insert uses exclusive lock. Insert in small pieces is to allow rowlock not escalated, which the transaction is completed fast and providing breathing room to allow other queries to go thru in between (or block yours).
Insert blocking select statements
SQL Server excels at quickly acquiring and releasing locks to allow as much concurrency as possible ...
I posted a note to allow snapshots to be backed up in SQL Server. The inability to do so, and...
Bulk Insert query

Traders at Aegis Media, home to Carat and Vizeum, are said to have lost faith in News International's Times and Sun brands to deliver the kind of reach and influence they once did.
Nielsen figures for the last calendar year underline the shift in Aegis' activities, with around seven percentage points – some £12 million worth of spend – being extracted from NI's portfolio, the bulk of which (£8 million) has been redirected towards Mirror Group titles.
A senior source at Aegis tells me: "Any agency looking at News International will be asking: 'What's your next play?' The Times sits behind its paywall, with a very local, loyal but small audience, while print sales fall and the general stink from the hacking scandal drags on.
"We're not saying 'taps off' on all clients' spend at all, but it is certainly less important as a media owner than it used to be, and our activity will reflect that."
'Traders at Aegis Media have lost faith in The Times and The Sun to deliver the reach they once did'
Figures suggest 16 of Aegis' top 20 press clients have reined in spend for The Times and The Sun. British Gas, for example, has recorded a 33 per cent swing in favour of the Mirror Group, similarly Shop Direct (32 per cent), Debenhams (15.8 per cent) and Vauxhall Motors (11.4 per cent).
An NI source says no brand marketer worth their salt believes a reader of the Daily Mirror, with its socialist heritage, is the same as a reader of The Sun, the UK's most popular newspaper. He adds, ominously: "It's more important than ever for clients to demand full transparency from agencies to ensure their best interests are being looked after."
Meanwhile, Mirror Group is also believed to be in the process of moving its £6 million media business out of Arena – where it has sat for three years – and into new best friend, Aegis, without a pitch.
All very messy indeed, and no doubt more blood will be spilt before the day is through.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Special Investigative Unit identified an unlicensed wholesale/retail seafood dealer shipping thousands of sacks of oysters out of state without recording required purchase information and failing to report the shipments to the LDWF as required by law.
On July 1, 2005 agents charged Kyle Sadler, 36, of Bourg, owner/manager of MPM Fisheries, with one count of operating his business without a wholesale/retail dealers license, one count of violating interstate commerce regulations by shipping 5,600 sacks of shell stock oysters, which were landed in Louisiana, to North Carolina, Virginia and Mississippi, 83 counts of failing to maintain records on the purchase of 7,206 sacks of shell stock oysters and three counts of failure report commercial fisheries data to the department on 2,891 sacks of shell stock oysters. The charges were filed in Terrebonne Parish. The violations were for shell stock oysters taken and transported out of state from January 2005 through June 2005.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries uses reported fishery-landing records to manage the state's fisheries. Accurate information is essential to the management of the state's fisheries resources.
On June 12, 2006, Kyle Sadler entered guilty pleas, in Division A of the Terrebonne Parish court, on all charges presented in this case. Thirty Second Judicial District Court Judge Joe Larke assessed Kyle Sadler with the following penalties: count 1, 90 days in parish prison; count 2, 120 days; counts 3 through 85, 90 days in parish prison; counts 86 through 88, 90 days in parish prison. All counts to run concurrent. Sadler was ordered to pay restitution to the department in the amount of $53,658. Jail terms were suspended upon the condition that Sadler pays the restitution to the department. He was placed on two years supervised probation during which time he has to pay the $53,658. Sadler was ordered to pay the restitution in 24 monthly installments of $2,235.75 per month.
According to LDWF Law Enforcement Division Administrator Col. Winton Vidrine the case is very significant. "This type of activity cannot and will not be tolerated in Louisiana. When someone steals resources from the people of this state, justice should be served, and in this case it was," he said. "This case identifies the importance in the roles of the district attorneys and the judges in the overall scheme of fisheries management," he added.
Agents participating in the investigation were Lt. Jay Diez, Sgt. Billy Gomillion and Sgt. Brian Marie.
