Re: sat oniel parlay +1Did Handsome Mike have an excuse in the last? Ive never been a fan of his. I liked Tritap last time when losing by a head at nearly 10-1, will be much shorter odds this time though Im sure.
Mr DERBY!!
Re: sat oniel parlay +1the race doesnt set up for him at all, he will have to be 15 lengths the best horse if he wins by a nose.
i just hope mario doesnt try to change his running style and put him close to the pace. his only chance is to drop back 10+ lengths on the backside and make one run. but flashback is the coning speed and will have everything his way. i just hope he is flying in the lane . if he runs 2nd beat 4 or 5 lengths it would be a perfect set up for his next race

1.) F3nning - My Little Pony (Doozy Dubstep Remix)
2.) Do What You Want [coz a Pony is Free]
3.) Flutterstep
I don't see the difference between these, but party soft fluttershy is always daww
Vinyl songs are always wonderful to listen to. I'm not sure if it's the music, or her big red eyes.
...Definitely both.
I was not expecting the second one not to suck. I really hate that pirate song, though this remix was quite good.
Hmm, I was expecting a ponified You Are a Pirate from lazytown from #2.
Awww, I thought the second was a remix of that song too. lol I was kinda sad when I found out that wasn't the case. It still wasn't a bad song though at least.
Dat third one. lol That's a kinda cute remix. Suits Fluttershy and the pic well enough. :P I liked the first too. I've warmed up to Dubstep more and more after ponies started getting introduced into it. :P
Fluttershy will snuggle you in your sleep!
Okay, different song, but still...
all very creative songs. smoothly mixed as well. well done everypony who worked on them
Ehh the 1st one... bass didn't drop hard enough...
So two steps and a scratch walk into a bar. Then the internet explodes.
Who else saw the title of #2 and thought was going to be something to do with the "You are a Pirate" song?
I am disappoint #2. I expected limewire pony version I am very disappoint.
I shared in the expectations on #2...got over it quickly enough.
#3, on the other hand? Instantly went into favorites.
Dubstep? This pleases me very much. Whos that sexy pony in #2.....oh thats me.
Flutterstep was definitely a breath of fresh air, and the high point of this music post for me. Good beat, very, VERY chill, very simple. Loved it from start to finish, and that is definitely getting a download.
i expected better from you equestria daily >_>
#1.....I usually like dubstep....The bass is too gargle sounding for me...
#3 was my favorite instantly, however.
#1: I loved F3nning's last work, and this is awesome, but it needs some more EQ work to really balance out the bottom end. It's a bit muddy right now, the sub bass is stepping all over the grit and smooshing it.
#2: Guess it was original? Still, catchy. Nice to work to.
#3: HOT DAMN. Instantly fav'd. The feel, the beat, the mix, it was all spot-on.
#1 I agree. It needs a little bit of finishing work.
#2 Disappoint.
#3 Flutterstep: always a good choice!
Aw jeez, not more dubstep.
There ARE other genre's of music out there, kids.
I like dubstep, but I like sushi too; if I had to eat it every day, I'd start hating it.
1. A little airy, but still good.
2. Pretty cool. Needs more pazzaz.
3. Fluttestep is soothing...
#1 not my favorite but nice, just not my kinda beat *shrug*
#2 Is now in my music folder, all told it was pretty simple but I enjoyed listening to it
#3 was repetitive but decent, and is now in mah folder!

When Bronston's epics are coming out in sumptuous dvd editions (thanks to the Weinsteins and the Miriam Collection), I have decided to remove the dust from a book i've bought one year ago in Paris: "L'homme qui voulait être prince : Les vies imaginaires de Michal Waszynski" (The Man Who Would Be Prince: the imaginary lives of M.W.).
As welles fan, i must say that unfortunately much more attention is reserved by the author Samuel Blumenfeld to the events of Waszynski's life before (his polish years, the WW2 odyssey etc.) and after (the Bronston studios megalomania) his strong relationship with O.W.: a period that is only outlined in the book (it seems incidentally that Waszynski, attempting don't be too modest, used to say later that he codirected Othello).
In my opinion, the author doesn't succeed really to understand and to reveal who truly was this strange man in perpetual escape from his past, his life, his jewish roots, his country (the Volhynia, that no longer exists on maps). The Waszynski mistery remains unsolved.
Many lacks (the frequent misspelling of italian names, the reproduction of old errors - Mr. "Mandatori Scalera" instead of "commendator Scalera", i.e. commander, an honour of Italian Republic -, the scarcely investigated period of his reapproach to cinema in Italy side by side with Vittorio Cottafavi) but a lot of in-depht informations: I confess my ignorance, but before reading the book I would never have suspected that the author of Dybbuk and the assistant director of Othello was the most prolific and most successfull movie director in polish box office history (and that most of his films, in v.o. without subtitles, are on emule).
In conclusion, a pleasant book, even if a little bit faint (as Waszynski himself really was, perhaps).

Ricky Martin Champions Two LGBT Rights Laws In Puerto Rico

If you don't love Naya Rivera, you totally should. Here's why:

What has existed in every country throughout time, but is still considered abnormal? A short video from the UN human rights office has a big message.
The law, allowing same-sex couples to marry, takes effect Aug. 1. Minnesota is the 12th state, plus DC, to recognize marriage equality, following on the heels of passage in Rhode Island and Delaware.
Photographers capture the passion from both sides of the debate in Minnesota. At the end of the day, the state became the 12th in the nation to gain marriage equality.

The decision of the National Council of Justice could be appealed to the Supreme Court. Same-sex couples in some parts of the country already can marry, but this decision would apply nationwide.

The Supreme Court of Belize held hearings this week on a challenge to the country's colonial-era sodomy law. This is at least the third former British colony where courts have taken up challenges to sodomy codes this year.

When newly elected Sarasota City Commissioner Suzanne Atwell finished third in the city's general election March 10, her challenge for the runoff was clear: Figure out how to overtake her closest competitor, second-place candidate Paul Caragiulo.
Atwell overcame a deficit of nearly 300 votes in the general election to claim her at-large seat in last week's runoff. She finished 104 votes ahead of Caragiulo.
The Bird Key resident attributes her victory to fundamental campaigning — attracting new volunteers and personally knocking on doors. But interviews with others involved in the election also say an unknown political action committee's efforts, bullet voting and the Democratic Party contributed to Atwell's margin of victory.
Although she didn't make mention of the fact often, the commission would be left without a woman if Atwell were not elected. Apparently, that fact was not lost on voters.
Atwell said a number of volunteers joined her campaign after the general election. She doesn't know exactly how many, but she does know that most of them were women.
"I was the only woman in the race," Atwell said. "That was part of it."
Another strategy was to personally knock on doors in every precinct west of the Trail, such as Precinct 49, which includes the waterfront neighborhoods of Indian Beach, Sapphire Shores and Tahiti Park.
For several days before the election, Atwell and her husband, Bob, spent two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon talking to residents in those neighborhoods. It was time well spent.
In the general election, Atwell received 205 votes in that precinct. She won 305 in the runoff. Caragiulo went from 199 in the general election to 219 in the runoff.
Altogether, Atwell increased her percentage of the vote in 17 of 27 city precincts. Caragiulo gained ground in six precincts. (See chart).
Also claiming partial credit in her turnaround was a political-action committee called Neighbors United, which was created a couple of weeks before the runoff. Two hours after Atwell and Turner were declared the winners, the group e-mailed a press release trumpeting its results.
"We were able to help Suzanne Atwell go from the lowest vote-getter of the top three to securing a position on the City Commission," the release stated.
Atwell said she hadn't heard of the group until that e-mail was sent. "I have no idea who those people are," she said.
Neighbors United is made up of about 40 volunteers who targeted female Democrats, who were 40 or older and who don't traditionally vote in city elections, but did vote in the 2008 presidential election. The group thought that demographic would relate to Atwell.
The volunteers distributed 1,200 handwritten notes and made nearly 800 phone calls urging those women to vote for Atwell.
None of the volunteers The Sarasota Observer contacted wanted to reveal their names. According to the group's press release, its members wanted to remain in the background.
"Our goal was to keep our names 100% out of the picture, so the message could not be discounted by any baseless attacks," the e-mail stated. "We have been successful in keeping our group from being labeled 'pro-neighborhood' or 'pro-business.' We are neither. Our financial support comes from both businesses and neighborhood residents."
An analysis of its contribution records shows from March 24 to April 9, Neighbors United raised $4,000 from 13 donations. The contributors include well-known names in Sarasota, including Realtors Michael Saunders, Drayton Saunders and Joe Hembree; builder/developer John Cox III; developer and yacht builder Piero Rivolta; banker H.R. Foxworthy; and the Gulf Coast Builders Exchange (see box for a complete list of contributors).
Sam Stern, owner of Cap Creative advertising agency, contributed $200, and his company created the group's direct-mail campaign.
"I wanted to help Paul (Caragiulo) and Suzanne (Atwell) because I felt they were the best candidates," said Stern.
Caragiulo, who finished second in the general election, declined assistance from Neighbors United because he pledged not to use PACs.
"They wanted to be in control of my message," Caragiulo said. "I didn't want to drink anyone's Kool-Aid."
Two other factors contributed to the final outcome — bullet voting and the Democratic Party.
Bullet voting is when voters choose only one instead of two candidates in the runoff. There were 5,125 ballots cast. If all of those voters had voted for two candidates, there would have been 10,250 total votes.
There were only 8,846 total votes.
The Democratic Party, meanwhile, broke an unspoken tradition with its Republican Party counterpart to keep the election nonpartisan by delivering automated telephone calls to Democratic Party voters in favor of Atwell. The calls noted that Atwell was a lifelong Democrat.
When Atwell assesses how she went from third to victory, she gives her volunteers all of the credit. Said the new commissioner: "When you're in third place, the only hope is to get more people out (to vote)."

Shootout: Kinner's breakout night not enough in Little Elm loss to Sherman
BY Townsend Keller, Staff Writer
One week down in the Little Elm football team's 2012 season and while the number of wins remains to be determined, the bar for entertainment value was set fairly high Friday night.
The Lobos (0-1) fell to visiting Sherman, 57-56, at the Little Elm Athletic Complex, but did so in stunning fashion thanks to the individual performances of running back Keaun Kinner and Sherman quarterback Dru Smith.
The Lobos began the night honoring Eric Jackson, an assistant coach who had died of a heart attack in the offseason. After honoring Jackson with a video of him leading the Lobos in their yells, Little Elm took the field in the first game of an entire season the team dedicated to their coach's memory.
"(I) feel great, but of course I feel bad that we lost," Kinner said.
In the offensive slugfest this game became, these two would prove to be the heavyweights.
In the first two Lobo offensive drives alone, Kinner racked up 143 yards rushing on 12 carries, the first of which ended with him fumbling the ball to Sherman on the Bearcats' 8-yard line. The second drive resulted in a 9-yard score that tied the game, 7-7, after Tre Mask took a Smith pass 46 yards on the previous Sherman drive. Smith would throw another touchdown in the first quarter to Joseph Harvey.
In the second quarter, Kinner would provide 68 of the 75 yards of Little Elm's offensive drive on seven carries, capping it off with a 7-yard touchdown run to tie it, 14-14. It would be Smith, however, that would provide the last score of the half with a 29-yard scoring throw to J.T. Luper. The Lobos then ate over seven minutes on a drive that would see them turn the ball over on downs to the Bearcats, who kneeled to drain away the few remaining seconds of the half to secure a 21-14 lead over the Lobos at the halfway point.
The start of the second half was not to Sherman's liking as junior linebacker Jerome Cotton fumbled the opening kickoff back to Little Elm, who would capitalize on the Bearcat mishap with a 20-yard run from Kinner to tie, 21-21. Smith answered accordingly, lobbing an 8-yard score to a wide-open Harvey. Kinner wasted no time in answering, busting the Lobos' first play from scrimmage for a 75-yard score.
The fourth quarter saw six touchdowns scored between the two teams, as Lobo quarterback Chris Phelps ran one in for the first score of the final period. He was countered by Mask, who ran for two touchdowns of 22 and 57 yards on two Bearcat drives. Little Elm's Jaylen Price provided a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and on the first play of Sherman's following drive, Harvey took a Smith pass 56 yards to the house. Phelps responded with a 19-yard touchdown strike to Terrell Anderson to tie Sherman, 50-50.
Sherman received the ball to start overtime and Smith promptly connected with Jaquay Pough and kicked the extra point. Little Elm answered with Phelps running it in from 3 yards out. It was then that head coach Donald Stowers elected to try a two-point conversion. Kinner was stopped 2 yards short of the end zone, and Sherman escaped with a 57-56 victory.
"It's just about as competitive as it can get going into overtime, us going for two to try to win," Stowers said. "It didn't quite work out, we've tried it in the past. This the first I've ever tried it out here and it not work. Nevertheless, it was a game versus a great football team.
"It hurts, we felt like we had a good plan for them."
Stowers also described how the team has come together after the passing of Jackson, and the work the players did in the offseason to prepare themselves for a season they have dedicated to his memory.
"The kids have worked their tails off during the offseason, leading up to the summer workouts just dedicating everything they do to him," he said. "We all know the impact he had on this program, the lives he's touched. We just want to continue to dedicate this year to him and hopefully continue to play like we did tonight and hopefully get on the winning side of things."
Phelps hit 2-of-3 passes for 49 yards and a touchdown while rushing 97 yards and two more scores. Terrell Anderson led the Lobos in receiving with two receptions for 49 yards and a touchdown.
For Sherman, Mask was the leading rusher with ten carries for 100 yards. Luper hauled in six receptions for 133 yards and a score. Harvey caught four balls for 116 yards and three touchdowns.
The Lobos look to right the ship Friday at 7 p.m. when they host Carrollton Newman Smith.

A key pretrial hearing for Pfc. Bradley Manning, accused of giving classified material to the website WikiLeaks, which then made it public, began Tuesday in a case that highlights the government's resolve to keep war and diplomatic material secret.
Manning, who has been charged on 22 counts, faces life in prison if convicted of aiding the enemy, the most serious charge. His court-martial is scheduled for February.
A former intelligence analyst in Baghdad in 2009 and 2010, Manning is accused of sending hundreds of thousands of logs about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and more than 250,000 diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks.
The hearing at a military court at Ft. Meade outside Baltimore is scheduled to run through Sunday. Manning is expected to testify at some point. It would be the first time he has spoken publicly about the case and the conditions of his detainment since his arrest in 2010.
The defense will argue that all charges should be dismissed because Manning was subjected to "unlawful pretrial punishment," according to a post on the website of his supporters, the Bradley Manning Support Network.
Manning will get a chance to testify about his treatment. His lawyers argue that he was illegally punished by being put alone in a cell for nine months at the Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Va. Military judges can dismiss all charges if pretrial punishment is particularly egregious, but that rarely happens, though the time in incarceration can be credited toward the sentencing.
"At this extremely important hearing, Bradley's lawyer David Coombs ... will present evidence that brig psychiatrists opposed the decision to hold Bradley in solitary, and that brig commanders misled the public when they said that Bradley's treatment was for 'Prevention of Injury,' " his supporters said.
Manning has offered to take responsibility by pleading guilty to reduced charges. The military has not ruled on that offer.
Manning was in the brig from July 2010 to April 2011. The military argues the treatment there was proper since he classified as a maximum-security detainee. He was later moved to Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., where he was reevaluated and given a medium-security classification.
A United Nations investigator called the conditions of Manning's imprisonment cruel, inhuman and degrading, but stopped short of calling it torture.

STARTING TO GASP AS she climbed the increasingly steep slope of the tangled hiking trail, Mary Catherine was about to take a breather when the tree line opened. Glancing out over the open ridge, she immediately halted in her tracks, as what was left of her breath was suddenly taken.
Off to the right, the flat lake and majestic foothills of the Catskill Mountains glowed in the soft morning light like a priceless Hudson River School landscape come to life. Mary Catherine stood for a moment, mesmerized by the exhilarating vista, the distant golden hills, the mile-long expanse of silvery blue water, smooth and perfect as a freshly tucked-in sheet.
Only for a moment.
Two geese floating by the near shore of the lake took frantic, honking flight as a large projectile landed in the water beside them with a tremendous, booming slap.
"Youkilis tries to tag from third!" Eddie Bennett yelled as the baseball-size rock he'd just chucked sent violent ripples over the serene water. He dropped to his knees as he threw his arms up in dramatic triumph. "But the Yankees' new center fielder, Eddie the Laser Beam Bennett, throws him out by a mile. Ball game over. Pennant over. Thuuuuh Yankees win!"
"Mary Catherine!" protested one of the girls from the front of the long, single-file line of children already on the move through the trees farther down the trail.
There were ten of them in all, six girls, four boys. Being a mix of Spanish and Asian, black and white, and ranging in age from seven to sixteen, they were often mistaken for a small Montessori school.
But they weren't, Mary Catherine knew. They were a family, believe it or not. A large, raucous, often aggravating, but ultimately always loving family. One she found herself smack-dab in the middle of again and again for some reason.
Who was she kidding? she thought as she hauled Eddie up and sent him scurrying ahead of her along the forest path. She knew the reason, or at least the main one. His name was Mike Bennett, the NYPD detective father of these ten crazy kids, stuck back in the city on a case. Which meant she was on riot patrol without backup here at the Bennett family lake house. At least until the weekend.
This latest frenzied fiasco of an outdoor adventure was actually courtesy of the two littlest ones, Shawna and Chrissy: a first-ever Bennett family vacation breakfast picnic. But it was Jane, the Girl Scout, who had turned it into a full-blown nature walk with her Orange County field guide. An activity Ricky, Eddie, and Trent were determined to tease into oblivion at every turn, of course.
Less than a minute later, Mary Catherine watched helplessly as, midway down the hiking line, Ricky Bennett suddenly hopped up on a rock and began making drumbeat sounds with his mouth. It was a rap beat, Mary Catherine knew. The very same one the thirteen-year-old had driven them all crazy with on last night's two-hour ride up here.
"Uh-oh. Here we go. More dissension in the ranks," Mary Catherine mumbled as she hurried forward through the column of kids.

Impossible as it seems, a vicious South American crime lord has taken over the streets of New York, bringing the worst lawlessness and violence the city has ever seen. Police gunned down in cold blood. Judges shot dead in the middle of the courtroom as shocked and terrified onlookers scramble for cover. Mayhem has been unleashed and taken over—and Manhattan's beleaguered mayor demands that super cop Detective Michael Bennett find a way to end the madness.
Bennett, putting his family's safety first, takes his ten kids and their beautiful nanny, Mary Catherine, out of the chaos on a so-called vacation to a reclusive area in upstate New York. But instead of escaping the violence it follows them, and they find themselves in the middle of another nightmare that threatens to destroy the entire family. And the danger, Bennett soon finds, isn't only coming from the crime lord's killers—federal prosecutor Tara McLellan is back on the scene and Bennett's powerful attraction to her endangers his tenuous relationship with Mary Catherine.
A no-holds-barred, pedal-to-the-floor, action-packed novel, I, Michael Bennett is James Patterson at his most thrilling best.

Can't even compare w/Alex Cross but I've even stopped reading those - think he has run the course.
This book however just didn't go anywhere - seemed to stop in the middle of the story - who wants to be left hanging and wondering. Not me - probably last of Patterson's books for me.
Reviewer: Pat
I have to agree that this is certainly not one of Patterson's best novels. The ending was a letdown at best. Mr. Patterson, Michael Bennett has a long way to go to be in the same category as Alex Cross. He's still your best character ever.
Reviewer: Beth H
Too many Chapters regarding the family that could have been left out. As many said - what a lousy ending. (Is this just to sell more books?) The story line was relatively good, but really far fetched that anyone could do what Perrine did with practically everything. Not one of Patterson's best books. I usually buy each book he writes, but if things don't improve - time to find another similar author.
Reviewer: william j
I could not put this book down! My only wish is that the next one comes out very soon! I want to know what happens next! I gave it 4 stars not 5 because I don't like be left wondering, but still loved it!
Reviewer: T S
Cant wait to purchase this book...i have loved this series, but I like the alex cross series way better
Reviewer: Beverly

Thursday March 31, 2011 16:10 by EuroAnarkismo Conference - Anarkismo European Coordination
A motion passed by EuroAnarkismo conference 2011 A motion passed by EuroAnarkismo conference which met in London (UK) in February 2011. [Italiano] Against the crisis in Europe, towards a European social movementI. Analysis of the current situationAlready a few months ago, we were told about the end of the economic crisis. What happened in Greece was said to be only an unfortunate episode, soon to be overcome by the generosity of Greece's European "partners". But catastrophist announcements are falling like rain again all over Europe, and new recovery plans, by the EU or the IMF, are being prepared. Unsurprisingly, they are in fact austerity plans which unfortunately are very similar to the Structural Adjustment Programs imposed on some developing countries by the IMF in the 1980s and 1990s. For capitalists, the current situation of budget crisis is an opportunity to impose their neo-liberal agenda on the people, as was the case with the crisis in Argentina in 1998.As a matter of fact, these austerity plans are not at all aimed at facilitating economic recovery, but quite the contrary. The way European leaders are dealing with the current crisis can only lead to entrapment in a vicious circle of recession: repeated austerity measures enforced in the different countries contribute to slowing down the economy a little more by creating an even stronger contraction of demand. Yet, in the immediate aftermath of the crisis, governments rather announced recovery plans based on a Keynesian approach quite distant from the neo- liberal orthodoxy which structures the economic convergence policy of the states of the Euro- zone through the Stability Pact (which imposes extremely strict budget austerity criteria: 3% of GDP for public deficit and 60% of GDP for public debt). 1. When governments follow the rule of financial marketsSo why have the States abruptly moved from recovery plans to austerity policies which cancel their effects? Very simply because governments today follow the rule of the financial markets, which see in the explosion of States' debts the risk of default (the impossibility to pay back debt) which would make them lose a lot of money. As a consequence, it is necessary to cut the budget of the States, particularly in those domains that do not compromise the profits of private companies: social security, public services, etc. Austerity plans in Europe are all the same, since they follow the requirements of the same financial agents. Apart from eliminating the risk of default (immediately that is, since it is quite a different story in the long term), austerity plans have a collateral advantage: they open entire sectors of the economy to private investors, opening new and very profitable speculative perspectives to the agents of the financial markets.There is nothing new in the enslavement of governments to financial markets; it dates back to the end of the 1980s when governments, faced with the liberal imperative of "less state", decided to privilege financing through loans on the financial markets rather than through taxes. And this radical shift was not only supported by conservative governments, but sometimes also by social-democrat governments: in France for example, a socialist government operated this change in 1986. Nevertheless, the European states are now in a situation of weakness that gives an opportunity to financial institutions, who own the credit of the over-indebted States, to assert their power. The current situation is characterised by the States giving up even more of their sovereignty to the financial markets. The EU organises this surrender of political and economic sovereignty: besides the Stability Pact, which imposes constraints on the States' budget policies, the independence of the European Central Bank amounts to withdrawing the conduct of monetary policies from the States' sovereignty. And even though this sovereignty has never been the people's sovereignty, it was for a time in close enough contact with the social movements to have to submit to them. The shift from the national scale to the European scale is already an obstacle in itself, since there is no social movement on the same scale (see below). But, moreover, capitalism today takes the form of financial institutions which are quite different from the traditional class enemies of the working classes: the State and employers. Social movements today do not have a strategy to fight outsourced financial institutions or even more abstract "financial markets". This makes it more difficult to fight in the workplace while managers are thousands of miles away, a problem that has been encountered for quite a long time already. 2. The necessity of a European social movementFaced with this situation, the reaction of the people is generally quite clear-sighted. The slogan "We won't pay for their crisis" has continued to circulate, showing that people know very well who is responsible for the crisis: capitalists. This also means a multiplication of struggles everywhere in Europe over recent months: in Greece, Ireland, England, Italy, Portugal, France... Yet, while these struggles often take into account the question of the economic crisis through slogans, they remain rooted in the local reality: the reform of pensions in France, of universities in Italy, austerity plans in Greece, the increase of university fees in England and Ireland, etc. This is not a defect as such, because struggles have to be rooted in the immediate concerns of the working classes, but it reveals nevertheless a powerlessness to act directly against the effects of the crisis and its agents.This is due to the fact that social movements still suffer from a structural insufficiency, that of convergence on the European scale. Actually, we have never really been able to respond to the transnational power of financial markets, even though efforts are made by the Union Syndicale Solidaire in France or the CGT in Spain, for instance, to coordinate alternative trade-unionism in Europe and respond better to the necessities of the current situation. Yet, a response on the European scale is more than ever necessary if the street is to reclaim the political sovereignty which is being more and more totally taken away from us, to question the iniquitous decisions of the EU, later presented as insurmountable and inevitable, and to fight the transnational power of financial markets. We need a social movement on the European scale. 3. Uniting around a common objective: the refusal to pay the debt.We also need to gather around common and unifying objectives, the most urgent of which today is denouncing debt (unconditional refusal to pay on the part of the debtor). Actually, it is because they own the debt of the States that financial companies control them and can impose whatever they want on them, threatening to cut off the money supply or to increase the interest rate. This is why, today, the slogan "We won't pay for their crisis" has to become "We won't pay for their debts". This deals a blow to the power of financial markets, since if the States no longer have debts, they will not have any power either, and so it becomes possible for the social counter- powers to reclaim politics. This demand has two other advantages: to circulate the idea that the explosion of debt today is a direct result of the crisis and that the responsibility for it lies with capitalists, and to achieve a huge redistribution of wealth towards the working classes since debts are widely owned, in fine, by the savings of the ruling class and the cancellation of debts would enable to reclaim public service and social security.
The crisis of the banking sector and financial markets which would ensue from such an exposure of debt would provide at last an opportunity to impose the redirection of the financing of the economy towards the satisfaction of the real needs of the peoples of Europe. The objective of reclaiming money from the banks can be upheld today, given the low popularity rate among the population of these financial agents. But it can be meaningful only if we make it clear that the money seized has to be redirected into socially useful activities, the exact opposite of the financial distribution achieved on financial markets.
II. Suggestion for a campaign: "For a European social movement"Faced with the above-mentioned insufficiency, our current of thought has to do its best with its limited means to encourage the emergence of a European social movement by contributing to building a network of alternative trade-unionism strong enough to initiate struggles (see the motion "European trade-unionisms") and also by promoting the convergence of all the struggles in which our activists are involved (illegal immigrants, feminist struggles, etc.). This is why we suggest a campaign in this direction, with a public side and an internal side.1. Public expression of the libertarian communist networkOur current has to express itself publicly on this question which, if it emerges within social movements in the wake of various austerity plans which affect several European peoples, often remains limited to necessary but insufficient manifestations of solidarity.
2. Developing a common internal work towards strategic convergence in the social movement

Cleveland Star
Cleveland Star | Source for Cleveland News & Ohio updatesThe Cleveland Star is essentially a local Cleveland newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Cleveland, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Cleveland, Ohio, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Cleveland Star.

I try to not be obsessed about wish lists as I have a few myself but I have a ?
I sometimes move items from RL to my RP like Seasonal items etc.
Some of my items are very popular on the wish lists. Some of those items possibly I decide to move to somewhere else or off of my shops entirely. So my ? is about etiquette.
1. Is it okay to say in the box that this item will be moving soon to my RP shop or to my RL shop on the RP box?
2. Would it be okay to actually say in the box this item will be removed off of my sites soon (time period) possibly and/or contact me as it may still be available and I can add it back?
I ask that as this coming year I will hopefully moving if all lines up and at different times parts of the inventory will be available and some not? I do know I can add things to the back room at RP but with so many items it can get confusing at times.
I always feel uncomfortable not knowing what to say in the wish list box period. Hi, I consider reasonable offers?
I see you peeking? I also feel bad if I am checking out something on other shops so do not do it very often. I just try to remember. Sandy
Hi folks,
I have been 'shopping' around for a few items and adding items to my wish lists. I am looking to buy something so I am creating a list of possibilities for review later. I have to say that I feel neglected if a shop owner doesn't put a note for my 'wished' list item. I like this note - "mention Wish List and you will receive X discount" .. or something along those lines. Or, anything that at least lets me know this shop owner is actually interested in getting my business. It doesn't have to be a discount note. Watching my own Wish Lists made me rethink how I handle my shops wishlists.
You never know when something will sell, but I do feel it is a good idea to keep 'cost' in mind. If I have a $10 item and I leave it in for two years, then maintenance costs add up, and at some point it cost me more to keep it listed than I will get should it sell. If a $10 item is getting a lot of click thru's then I would consider keeping it around even though it is not selling. Another doorway.
I also think more shop owners should take advantage of the Lane and Site Wish Lists. It only takes a couple of minutes to add a comment and it is one more door for people to walk thru. I personally would be over there putting 'remarks' next to any search related to the items I sell.
Would you please explain the "lane and site" wish lists you mentioned. What do you do to take advantage of it? Thanks for the comments it does make me ponder my decision to not post anything.
Hi Carol,
Go to your Shop Owners Page - Buyers Wish Lists - Click on Lane Searches or Site Searches (or your own wishlists). You will see a list of saved searches by Lane and Site. Right now there are 5,468 Site Searches on Wish Lists, 32 New. There are 589 Antique & Vintage Jewelry Lane Searches on Wish Lists, 16 New. Just to name a few.
Find a wish list item/lane/search relevant to what you sell and post a remark. You might be able to put a link to an item in your shop, but I am not sure, you will have to test it out.
If people are saving wishes it must be for a reason, you might as well post a remark and 'invite' them to check out your shop for like or similar items.
It only takes a few minutes to do it and it is free. And the more shop owners respond, the more often folks might be inclined to save item wishes to their wish lists and review them on a regular basis.
In the Lane searches, click on details, and the list for that particular lane search will show up.
Registered users might not always check out their wishlists but you never know when they will. Like me, I rarely look at my wish lists but now that I am actively searching for something specific I am looking at my lists pretty much daily. In fact I never saved a Lane or Site search until yesterday. Duh.
For example:
Go to Buyer's Wish Lists:
Click on Site Wishes and you will see one that says Vintage Kitchen Canisters. That is my wish I added.
Look down the list for items you sell and add a Remark.
Like I said, I found myself thinking, "Well, they could have a least said hello." LOL --- Just goes to show sometimes it is a good idea to put on the buyer's shoes, get in their heads, and you/me might want to do something differently or do something I/we have ignored doing in the past.
PS I will let you know if anyone remarks on my saved Wish List search. :) Stop in and say, "Hi". :)
I do remark but do really like the percent off message.
I am new at this and may have looked in the wrong place to find the information but here is my question. I wanted to find your shop so I could comment but went to members and merchants and could not find the name of your shop. Am I also in no man's land by not doing something to list me ? I am learning tons on this site and am so glad I took the effort signing in.
I put a comment on two of my wish list items just now so we will see. It was mention the wishlist and get 10% off , I will let you know if something happens.
Someone on the Ruby Lane site a couple of years ago had a butterfly search where she had you look for the butterfly picture and you got a discount. I spent a whole hour on that site searching because I liked what she had. So I found a leprechaun picture and loaded it on a few of my featured items on the home page and we will see if anyone bites on it. I can easily take the picture off after St. Patrick's Day. Just trying something new.
Hi Carol,
Yes, you are looking in the wrong place.
Go to Your Shop Owners Page
Look for Buyer's Wish Lists on the Page
Under Buyer's Wish List click on Site Searches on Wish Lists
Look down the list until you come to: Vintage Kitchen Canisters (it should be the third item down the list)
You can either click on Add Remark and say something which only I can read.
Or, you can click on 'vintage kitchen canisters' and see the actual search.
Now that you are on the Wish List page you will see many saved searches where you can add a remark next to the search name listed. Only the person who added the item / search to the Wish List will see the Remark you leave.
Hopefully that helps.
You don't have to actually look for a shop, you just have to look at the Wish List's section on your Shop Home page.
Yes, TVV is a great place to learn and share. TVV has a Premium Membership which gives you more goodies to market your shop!
Cute idea! You will have to share with us how it goes.
FWIW - I think most sellers don't comment on wish listed items. I tried doing it for a while (discounts, free shipping, mentioning other related items), but it didn't result in any sales. The only response I got was that I had one or two people email and say 'thanks but no thanks'. I have a number of things wish listed and I think I've gotten one comment. I have also tried leaving comments on Site and Lane wish lists with a similar lack of results. Has anyone else been able to generate sales this way? Maybe I'm doing it wrong :-)
The leprechaun idea sounds great! Let us know how it works!
I used to leave remarks but stopped for 2 reasons....one I couldn't edit/update them so eg if I remarked "This item is in the RL Red Tag sale etc etc" and then the sale was over and the remark stayed........
one item I had left a remark on generated a message from the customer that she thought her wish lists were "private" and that she did not appreciate effectively having sellers able to spy on her lists. I did explain to her that although we saw the item on a wish list, we had no idea WHO the wish list belonged to...
but it did make me a little nervous to respond again.
The only remarks I leave now is if I move the item over to my RP shop and vv
I think Wish List responses should be generic since we do not have the ability at this time to change the message. There are many as many reason for using a list as there are to not use the lists. For me it only takes a few minutes out of my day to make a connection with a 'potential' buyer. If I get a few snitty remarks once in awhile so be it... I can politely tell them how the lists work and move on. They will either stop wish listing items or they will get 'one' with it.
I can't say for sure just exactly where sales come from with any certainty, all I can determine are the number of visitors coming into my shop and somebody on my Wish List is a visitor and can get a message to them, most others I cannot. I will use any tool to 'maybe' make a sale or spread the word, especially ones that don't cost me anything and only take a few minutes to do.
It is possible the person who wished listed the item didn't intend to buy it but wanted to show it to someone else to buy it for me or for themselves or whatever. If all they do is spread my shop item around and no more, it is still exposure and I will take it.
Just my thoughts. Everybody has their own way of doing things and that is a good thing.
A whole lot of wishing going on at my shop. Happy when their wish comes true and they purchase the item.
I am thinking of adding a special gift if they let me know they had it on my wish list. Especially if an item has a bunch of watchers. I think they should be rewarded a bit more.
I am glad I will be concentrating on one shop soon as I always did not like removing items or moving them if something was on a wish list.

From the Ann Arbor News on a story about the New Year...
"It's the last day of the old year - at least under the calendars we've been using since the days of the Roman Empire.
That's not always true with calendars used by other civilizations, some of which mark the new year at the vernal equinox, when the sun's orbit changes, bringing spring to the northern hemisphere."
That is just a sample of the terrible astronomy and downright nonsense in this article. Want to see more?

A biting cold met the folks who came out to the Ellerbe Hometown Christmas on Thursday night.
Several vendors and stores handed out hot apple cider and hot chocolate, as well as other seasonal goodies like chocolate covered pretzel sticks and cookies. The Rankin Museum greeted visitors with warm smiles and children could decorate bags at a crafts table, or dig for fossils.
The Ellerbe Fire Department hosted Santa's Workshop again this year; a favorite for children who want their picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Children lined up for crafts, and to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas.
On a stage beside the fire department, local storyteller J.A. Bolton drew an audience in with original and retold stories for all ages. Following his act, Nutrition Agent for the Cooperative Extension Sarah Mammarella sang Christmas songs.
"It seemed that there were definitely less people than last year, at least in the area where the stage was," said Mammarella. "It was also very difficult to sing because my music was not able to be hooked up to the main speakers, so it made it hard to hear the music for me and the audience. However, I still love to do it. It puts me in the Christmas spirit."
Donnie Richardson of Ellerbe hooked his tractor up for a hayride around town, which was free for anyone who wanted to come along. Richardson encouraged the singing of carols, and children lead the songs.
"This year we didn't have the attendance we normally do," said Richardson. "It could have been the Hamlet Parade being in the same day. Last year we had better participation from people. To start with, at 5 p.m., there was no one in town to go on the hayride. Next year, hopefully we can coordinate more with Hamlet so not everything is on the same day. After a while the hayride stayed busy but I would say it was not even half the crowd it normally is. The town was cleared out by 7:30 p.m."
Richardson has brought his tractor and hay wagon to the Ellerbe Hometown Christmas for the last four years. His friend Elijah Covington rides on the back and makes sure children don't fall out or get rowdy.
"I don't ever bill the town (for the gas)," said Richardson. "But the town rents a tuxedo for my safety man. His main function is to see that people get on and off safely. He can stop the ride at anytime, but we've never had to do that."
Former Ellerbe Mayor and member of the Hometown Christmas Committee Olivia Webb said she was pleased with the event.
"I thought we had a nice variety of activities and entertainment, and enthusiastic participation from the local merchants," said Webb. "Volunteers worked very hard to put that event together and we hope it got people in the spirit, Ellerbe-style."

The Expendables
by Micheal Aldred on September 20, 2009- 146 Comments
After watching the first four pre-season games, I've noticed a few players stand out while others have sunk into a state of mediocre play. This is my brief evaluation of the players we no longer need, including my own opening night roster preview. I look forward to reviewing all of your own opening night rosters compared to the way I view the brand new Maple Leafs.

NBA Reveals New Christmas Day Uniforms
The NBA has revealed some bold new designs for Christmas Day this year. The BIG Color uniforms are a single, solid colorway with an alternate color stencil design that give these uniforms a very distinct look. It looks like some of the teams worked better than others - for instance, this Mavs look is a little drab, since they chose their alternate gray color as the main canvas instead of their more electric blue. But there are plenty more to check out - click through and see!
As soon as I heard about the BIG Color unis, I got excited remembering that the Brooklyn Nets would be playing on Christmas Day. Say what you will about the franchise, (and as a Knicks fan, I've got plenty to say) but they have one of the slickest uniform looks in the league already, thanks to a complete reformat and the help of Jay-Z. But this look is a little... disappointing. It seems like something that would work well with their all-black uniform, but instead it looks like someone drew with chalk on a plain T. The Celtics, meanwhile, look much better in their St. Patrick's Day uniforms.
Another miss, at least for the Knicks. The new Knicks uniforms were a welcome change and a much better look, but this weird all-orange version makes them look more like the Phoenix Suns than anything. But that Laker jersey - oh man, I like it. No gold in sight, and yet they look positively regal with purple on white. Kobe and co. will look awesome as they try to jell with new coach Mike D'Antoni.
The Heat jerseys look almost the same as their regular jerseys - maybe the absence of black is the most noticeable aspect. But the Thunder look is great - I love orange on blue, and it looks someone more electric with the stencil style. Also, what an awesome game - Kevin Durant vs. LeBron James in a 2012 Finals rematch.
Again, the Bulls uniform is not SO different from their regular duds. But the Rockets look like they were sent back from the future to steal other team's fan favorites (cough James Harden and Jeremy Lin cough), with a very striking silver. The only thing I don't like about this look? The typeface. It somehow looks like it's from last decade, which clashes with the rest of the look.
Two wins here. The Grizzlies' change to this periwinkle blue color in the last few years was a great move, and the Spurs new gray uniforms are great already - this just maximizes what works.
And two more wins to close it out. I think the Jazz uniform is the best of the bunch. The logo looks great, the yellow-on-navy works well, and nothing gets lost in the monochromatic look. The Pacers jersey isn't bad either, if you like yellow. It looks like the inverse of the Jazz, with more of a bumblebee flavor.

Divine Detours by Carol Kuykendall "You can do anything you want to do … you can be anything you want to be … if you just try hard enough," my mother used to promise me when I was growing up. But in a painful life-defining moment in high school, I discovered she was wrong. I so wanted to be a cheerleader and began practicing with my best friends in the auditorium after school. I practiced in my driveway after I got home. I practiced in my bedroom after dark. I even practiced in my sleep as I dreamed of being elected cheerleader. By the time those tryouts rolled around, I had practiced more than any of my friends — and I was ready! But after the votes were counted, I faced a painful reality. They made it — and I didn't. I had tried as hard as I knew how, but I lost. Even though my mother intended to encourage me, her promise was not true. So, I had to turn a corner that year. Re-invent myself. Find a new identity. Eventually, I became a reporter — and then the editor — of the school newspaper, and discovered a passion for words that I've pursued ever since. I went on to experience many other life-defining moments that have shaped me into who I am today. An unexpected pregnancy, which at first frightened me and then wonderfully enlarged my capacity for mothering. A child's chronic disease that frustrated and then deepened my faith. My diagnosis of cancer, which made me mad and sad, and then inspired my awareness of what matters most. Each of these circumstances unexpectedly changed the direction of my life, which then changed me. I read somewhere that most of us have to be forced to change because we don't usually choose change on our own. If that's true, maybe these life-defining moments are really God's divine detours. These detours have given me unique opportunities to grow more into the person he's created me to be, and prepared me for the future he has planned for me. I know for sure that my divine detours have shaped my mothering and kept me from promising our children that they can do or be anything they desire, if they just try hard enough. I know it's not always the depth of our longings or even our determination that controls our outcomes. We sometimes hit barriers that we can't control. Our children are adults now, but I still find myself wanting to step in and re-route some of their unexpected and difficult detours through infertility struggles, job disappointments or financial challenges. And then I remember how my own detours through dark valleys have always given me greater endurance and perspective. Since they were preschoolers, I've been comforted by a Bible verse that helps me trust God's protection and purposes in his divine detours — for them and for me: "See I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared." Exodus 23:20

Baby Okapi Welcomed at Disneys Animal Kingdom
Nafuna, a 35-pound female baby Okapi, is the newest addition to Disneys Animal Kingdom family.
Reported healthy after her first wellness exam, Nafuna, whose name means delivered feet first, was born on June 21st following a 14-month gestation period.
Guests will be able to catch a glimpse of Nafuna and first-time mom Zawadi a few months from now at Disneys Animal Kingdoms Ituri Forest. Father Akili currently lives on the savannah at Disneys Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Considered rare in the wild, okapis are often thought as being related to the zebra because of their stripes. But okapis are in fact, related to the giraffe. Their natural habitat is the Ituri Forest, a dense rain forest in central Africa, which is often threatened by loggers, hunters and human settlements. Currently, guests can see okapis when they ride the Kilimanjaro Safaris and when traveling along the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail.
Disneys commitment to conservation and okapis extend beyond breeding. The Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund provides support for wildlife study, the protection of habitats and the development of community conservation and education programs in critical ecosystems around the world. For more information visit Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund.
Okapi fun facts:
- Okapi newborns can stand up within 30 minutes of birth and will nurse for the first time within an hour of birth. They have the same coloring as an adult but have a short fringe of hair along the spine, which generally disappears by the time they are 12 to 14 months old.
- Okapi are typically solitary animals, living alone or in mother-offspring pairs.
- Okapis stripes work as camouflage when hiding in the partial sunlight that filters through the forest canopies of Africa.
- They are extremely wary and secretive, making okapi very difficult to observe in the lowland rainforest of central Africa where they make their home.
- Adult okapi can reach weights of 550-720 pounds with females typically being larger than males. They can live over 30 years in zoological facilities.
- Normally silent, female okapi vocalize with a soft chuff during courtship and when calling to their calves. There are infrasonic qualities to their call, which are below the frequency that the human ear can detect.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
