A round-up of today's other stories in brief
TALL, BROAD, bald and bearded, Owen Harris, lead game designer for BitSmith Games, could be one of the characters from Kú. The company's new videogame takes inspiration from Celtic folklore, with a dash of steampunk, and is currently in the final stages of development, in Dublin's Digit Games incubator. Here, Harris discusses the game's Irish roots
Why the Táin and why the Cú Chulainn myth? I've always been interested in Ireland's ancient history. There's so much there that hasn't been exposed. People like Tolkien dipped heavily into our past for inspiration. Greek mythology is everywhere – I don't know how many harpies I've killed in videogames. But I've never killed a púca, or fought a fomorian. And these are interesting archetypes, so the chance to show that people in a game is exciting. When we showed it overseas, people had inklings of these cool stories and given the chance to be exposed to it, they jump at it.
Do you think audiences are more open to something they're only vaguely familiar with? The biggest surprise with international audiences was with the Irish language. You can play it completely in Irish. Very few people in this country seem interested in that, but Americans, Germans and Scandinavians are as interested in seeing the language . . . as much as our mythology. I think there is a cynicism about Irish culture [here] and I can understand that. But we're talking about going back to these old, primal stories that are part of what built our people's psyche. And I think if Irish people were exposed to it in a modern way, they would be much more interested than they currently are.
Is that why you've introduced that steampunk element? We started building it over a year ago at the height of all the stories about economic doom, so I guess we pulled in what was going on at that moment. I think it fits quite well – the idea of Ireland returning to this tribal time. Obviously it's a fantastical story, but it's something that people can relate to.
Is there a fear of alienating Táin purists? Some people will be upset that we didn't do a more direct translation. My response to that would be that these stories grow out of an oral tradition where it was constantly changing. It was only relatively recently that these things were written down. I believe that we are following in that oral, storytelling tradition. It's not just about the person telling the story; it's also about the listeners. It's not just about the people making the game; it's also about those playing the game. We're inspired by the Táin; we're not trying to re-tell it.
How Foras na Gaeilge involved? They've been a tremendous support. They looked over what we were doing and they're helping us make sure the Irish translation is to the highest standard. There's a huge amount of people learning Irish in the US. We want to make sure that if it's being used as a tool, that it is correct.
What about the game's look? Our artist Basil [Lim] spent a lot of time in pre-production going to museums, looking at the Book of Kells, our native plants, trying to bring all of that influence and create this style that looks somewhere between Mad Max and Cú Chulainn. It's probably the thing we're proudest of in the whole game – blending Celtic and futuristic style.
Kú will be available for iPad in November, with versions for PC and Mac to follow
Art classes with an edge
WHAT DO you get when you cross a night class with night life? Art Clash is the creation of artist Áine Macken, a course of art classes that dispenses with a stuffy or intimidating setting and aims to give its attendees a hands-on, fun and social experience with some of the country's most exciting artists.
Every week, a guest teacher is selected to teach skills from their own bank of expertise. The second round of classes, which began at the start of this month, featured Colm Mac Athlaoich teaching illustration and brush, pen and portrait techniques. Other artists involved in the project include Will St Leger, Fanci Schmancy, who taught clothing customisation, video-installation artist Ciara Scanlan, illustrator and designer Gaetan Billault, art therapist Gerry Lee, stencil and street artist ADW, and more. Upcoming tutors include photographers Aoife de Búrca and Aoife Giles, and art and craft-er Mick Minogue.
Macken began Art Clash after she "noticed a trend in that my friends would confess on blurry nights out about their desire to be a bit more creative. They'd often speak about how they enjoyed making things in school, but felt intimidated by actually pursuing it."
Macken realised that by combining a relaxed bring-your-own-beer setting with an expert teacher and willing participants, she had something of a potential success on her hands.
The classes have taken place in venues all over the city, from gay bars to disused convents, hairdressers to galleries. "It's really nice to see talented people explain to you how they do what they do, especially over a few pints surrounded by lovely people," Macken says. "People get really engaged and serious about making things, but the environment allows them to approach it casually and in a lighthearted and playful fashion, and to actually enjoy the experience of making something rather than focusing on that something being perfect."
This Friday, make-up artist Ruth Hirsch leads a Halloween-themed Art Clash class on how to perfect the most impressive, intricate and frightening special-effects make up. Tickets (priced at €15) can be booked at artclash.net.

Solved the initial question, however posted a new one in the fourth post if you would bother to scroll down and see if you know the answer! :) Thank you!
Direct link to new question:
Original post
In my effort of trying to make my program more tidy and clean I've encountered a problem. Previously I've only coded my programs in one big mess, so now I'm trying to split it up into separate classfiles.
I'm trying to make a simple paint program, where I'm trying to split it into classfiles as to what makes sense to me. I might have tried to do it in a very difficult way, and I appreciate any tips beyond my problem, the thing I can't quite figure out however is how I can efficiently share variables between my classes.
I've divided my program into the following java files:
- Contains only one line of code generating the GUI which is in a seperate file.
- Contains the GUI and actionlisteners, as well as the mouselistener which I want to get the coordinates from.
- Contains information about what the user has chosen. Currently there is selection of shape, fixed sizes, fill or just the "edge" and color. This also contains the xStart, xEnd, yStart and yEnd variables which I want to pass from gui into the drawing file.
- Contains the functions for drawing.
The problem is however, when I do make a new instance of settings in each file they do not share variables obviously.
So when I in the gui class after having instanced
in both files, they do not share the same variables. This might be obvious, but I thought it was going to work :)Code:
settings s = new settings();
I then do in the gui file a
for each of the variables. This ends up with the instance of settings in the gui file containing the right value but obviously not in the drawingPanel file.Code:
How do I pass variables from one class file to another? Can I make like a public double xStart which all classes can access and edit?
Thank you for answers, and sorry if my english isn't that good. If anything is unclear please ask and I'll try to clarify.

Day 1
Another PAX Prime has come and gone from our city of Seattle. Fortunately we managed to avoid the H1Nerd1 outbreak like we had a few years ago but as always, PAX can be a very draining experience. Just like Frenzy + Healing Signet: it's awesome and hilarious, and probably will leave you wiped. There's so much to see and so much excitement in the air! NCSoft has always had a large presence at PAX, typically having a large space with huge murals of the games on display along with tons of demo stations. While they did just announce their new MMO Wildstar, GW2 was really the star of the show; so much in fact that it had 3 different locations dedicated to it (Alienware and Logitech). Even with more floor space than probably any other single game aside from Halo, the Guild Wars 2 stations and booths were always completely packed for all three days, literally from opening to closing.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own.
Born and raised in San Antonio, I am Texan to my core (well, with the exception of my non-existent accent). Most Texans are incredibly proud of our heritage which incudes red, white & blue, cowboys, longhorns, bluebonnets, BIG open spaces, teeny-tiny towns, State Fair® Corn Dogs and so much more.
Opening its first store in Kerrville, H-E-B is Texan through-and-through, too, carrying hundreds of Texas-made products. The grocery store is one that can't be beat in selection and prices which is why I do all my grocery shopping there. My sister, who lives in Dallas, doesn't have an H-E-B close to her and she often complains that she can't do her shopping at an H-E-B.
State Fair Corn Dogs are a staple in my house so the 22 count package is on my grocery list at least once a month! My husband and kids like to eat them for weekend lunches or for dinner on nights that I don't want to cook or if they are on their own because corn dogs are an easy meal and are a good source of protein with not much prep work. James even likes to take leftover corn dogs for lunch so he doesn't have to purchase or make something in the morning. Both of my boys like the corn dogs as-is, my husband and I like to make them a little more bold which is where my idea for Chili Cheese Corn Dogs came in to play.
Deep fried foods are a favorite in Texas and, even though these corn dogs are baked, it's easy to satisfy any crowd's hankerin' for real Texas flavor with State Fair Chili Cheese Corn Dogs. They only use five ingredients and are ready to eat in under 20 minutes.
- 22 count State Fair Corn Dogs
- 1 can chili
- 1 package shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 2 jalapenos, sliced
- Bake State Fair Corn Dogs as directed on the package.
- While the corn dogs bake, heat the chili on the stove.
- Remove the corn dogs from the oven.
- Cover each corn dog with chili, cheese, onions and jalapenos.
- Serve and enjoy!
If you want to put forth a little extra effort, sautée the onions and jalapenos in a dollop of butter before topping the chili cheese corn dog. The sautéed vegetables will give this meal a bit more flavor. Of course, if one doesn't care for onions and/or jalapenos, they could be removed or replaced with anything imaginable.
My suggestion is to serve these Chili Cheese Corn Dogs with sweet tea and maybe some french fries! No matter how you plate them, State Fair Corn Dogs are a good source of protein which will leave your crowd full and happy!
Save on State Fair Corn Dogs with this H-E-B coupon valid, from 2/22 – 3/21-2017.

Hello there I would like to know how I would display a rates calendar on a website. Do I need software? If so any good recommendations? Or is it possible to use javascript or some other programming language?
What I need to use is something with the day/month and when the visitor clicks on the day they are looking for a calendar will pull up with the rate for those days (maybe color-coded). This is for a Hotel. We want to keep it simple and if at all possible not have to resort to software. Unfortunately the rates may change frequently. Can anyone help?

My wife, daughter & I are here in Northern California this weekend for my granddaughter's baptism. When the three of us left California back in 1998, my son stayed behind with his then girlfriend, now his wife, the mother of my two granddaughters. We chose April for the baptism because April is a big month around my house. My wife & I were married in April, both of my children were born in April, and for 20-plus years we attended the Sacramento Kennel Club every April.
For us Terrier folk, this NORCAL weekend is one of the major stops of the season. Thursday's & Friday's Northern California Terrier Association limited-breed shows drew 434 & 563 entries, respectively. Today's & tomorrow's Sacramento Kennel Club's Terrier Groups each have better than 350 entries, more than four times the Terrier entry seen at the average AKC event. The winner of Thursday's NCTA event was the American Staffordshire Terrier, GCH CH Alpine's Catch Me If You Can, bred & owned by Ed & Karen Thomason, and handled by Ed. Friday's event was won by the Wire Fox Terrier, GCH CH AfterAll Painting the Sky, bred by AJ Pertuit Jr. & Betty Seaton, owned by Victor Malzoni Jr., Tori Steele, Mary Olund & Diane Ryan, and handled by Gabriel Rangel.
The family dispatched my son with me to today's Sacramento Kennel Cub show. The ladies thought it would make for some quality father-son bonding time, my son said it would be fun to relive his youth, but I knew it was a dodge to ensure I returned home in time for dinner. I did get to watch the Wire, Sky, pick up her second group of the weekend. Rounding out today's Terrier Group placements were the American Staffordshire Terrier, GCH CH Alpine's Highwayman; the Irish Terrier, GCH CH Kell's Touch of Fleet St; and the Miniature Bull Terrier, GCH CH Cambria's Kid N Play.
Sky began the week as the Number Two Terrier and the Number 15 Dog All Breeds. I'm not sure that Thursday, Friday & Saturday will improve on that, but there's still tomorrow. Check our report on Dog Show Poop for the results from the rest of today's groups & BIS, as well as results from other shows around the U.S. And that's today's Back Story.

Death is something that touches every family at one time or another.
It can be particularly harrowing for those who lose someone over the festive period – especially children who find themselves without a parent, sibling or loved one for the first time in their young lives.
Thankfully Strathcarron Hospice, which already does so much to offer support and ease suffering, has developed a specialised course which aims to help youngsters – and their families – cope with their grief.
'Seasons' is designed for children and young people, aged five to 18, who have experienced the death of someone important to them. Over a seven-week course of 45-minute sessions it seeks to help them understand loss and change, providing them with practical tools and strategies to manage their responses.
Senior social worker Kirsty Freeland, who has been with the hospice for 13 years, was the person who came up with initial idea for Seasons.
She said: "Grief is a really individual thing – some youngsters cope well, while others struggle. It also depends on the youngster's situation – maybe they have lost both parents, maybe they have lost one and have a parent left to care for them.
"We try to keep everything as familiar as possible for them, but if their whole life has been turned upside down because of the death then it is a much bigger struggle."
Kirsty stresses the programme is not counselling or therapy, but an educational experience.
"Everyone's circumstances are different, but there are common themes attached to grief. The course is purely educational, it's not counselling – if someone needs something like that we can provide it separately.
"We help them cope with the feelings they are experiencing and allow them to get on with their lives. The person who has died, whether it be a parent or a sibling, that's been a good, close relationship for the youngsters so it's good to hang on to those happy memories.
"Hopefully we help them recognise it's okay for them to go on and be happy in their lives."
There are adult sessions which run alongside the youngsters' groups as well, since Seasons aims to help the whole family.
Kirsty said: "There's no point helping a child cope with the loss and then have them go back to their family which is still struggling to come to terms with it."
The age of the children often dictates how the staff run the sessions – with various activities aimed at younger children and a more grown-up, adult approach for teenagers.
"Younger children are not so good at articulating their feelings so we involve them in a lot of activities. They can tell us what they feel through drawing pictures. Teenagers are able to say how they feel so we tend to do a lot more talking with them.
"It's always very informal no matter what age group we are dealing with. They usually come straight from school, so we give them something to eat and drink before the session starts and then come back for another chat at the end of the session."
The sessions are held in the daycare area of the building, which provides a safe, comfortable and fun environment, allowing the youngsters to relax and be themselves.
Kirsty knows the worst thing a young person can do is "be brave" and not let their true emotions come to the surface.
"It's not about you hiding your feelings from everyone else in the family. Children think they are protecting the family by saying they are not upset about it, but it's better to share that grief.
"We try to let the children know it's okay to show their feelings."
A celebration session is held at the end of the seven weeks, providing an opportunity for the group to review their work, reconnect, and bring a parent, carer, or friend to join in the fun.
The smiles on faces at the end is reward enough for staff who have seen youngsters grow and develop through Seasons.
Kirsty said: "When they come in on the first night they are quite upset and feeling low – they have all lost someone special and are struggling to come to terms with all that.
"By the end of the course they say they want to keep coming because they have enjoyed it so much. It's hugely rewarding when you see the difference in them."

Leading GAA figures yesterday admitted that Gaelic games isn't immune to the match-fixing scams that have rocked other sports.
The GAA and GPA yesterday published guidelines on gambling with the issue having become a serious problem for high profile players such as Oisin McConville and Niall McNamee in recent years while GPA chief executive Dessie Farrell has spoken of how the players' body has processed an increasing number of gambling addiction cases.
McConville and McNamee were at Croke Park for yesterday's launch and while both said they never betted on the outcome of a game they were involved in, they believe it has the potential to become an issue for other players.
"Certainly, there was lots of temptation," said McConville. "I suppose one of the things that kept me away from it, and it is sort of a light-hearted thing - but it's actually the truth - when I was tempted, one of the things I was aware of was that most of the bets that I placed actually lost. I certainly didn't want a double whammy.
"The greatest danger is if we go down the road where a couple of players get together and try influence the result of a game. Let's hope we can nip that in the bud before it actually happens.
"There have been a lot of high-profile cases in cricket and soccer or whatever where that has happened before. I can't imagine why the GAA would be any different."
"I wouldn't see why not," added McNamee. "Gambling can bring you to a stage where you're absolutely desperate. It was something that I never did but I was lucky in that in November 2011 I stopped gambling but I don't know if I had stayed gambling for another year what would have happened.
"I could have got to that stage where I need x amount of money, how am I going to make it? One thing I can do is something I have control over.
"If a person gets into that much trouble and they don't see any way out that could be an option and that's what we're trying to do here, get people talking.
"I know of games gone by where lads might back themselves to score the first point and that might seem harmless and it probably is harmless but if that kicks on and that takes off and it did end up that you relied on gambling as a source of income or it was your life I wouldn't see why it wouldn't go any further."
With the issue having reared its head in other sports, as McConville alluded to, Farrell said it would be naive to think that a GAA player's head couldn't potentially be turned.
He said: "FIFPro put together an very interesting book in relation to gambling and corruption in sport and how gambling was pivotal to that.
"And how the criminal underbelly can somehow hone in on those players who have gambling issues and basically get them to influence the outcome of games or whatever.
"So in terms of the integrity of the game, it's those players who tend to have an issue with it in the first place who are most exposed to further problems around that.
"All we can take our lead from is what happens elsewhere. And if it happens in other sports, we would be naive to think it won't happen in our own sport. "So it's what you're putting in place. Your preventative measures. Education, communication of the message is a really important part of that.
"But then there is the policing of it. The disciplinary side of it as well if it does emerge where a player or a team has been involved in something. What you do in that particular instance?
"This is probably a bit of a journey for us but it is good to get it out there rather than having to deal with a crisis when it emerges. At least we can point to the fact that we have been trying to do the right thing.
"That's not to say a modest campaign like this is going to eradicate any potential gambling issues for players or the games but it has to start somewhere."

Anne's hubby 'screamed' at wife's Oscar nomination
12/01/2013 - 11:25:14Back to Showbiz Home
Anne Hathaway cried and her husband screamed when they discovered she was nominated for an Oscar.
The 30-year-old actress received a Best Supporting Actress nomination for playing Fantine in 'Les Miserables' and she and Adam Shulman couldn't contain their joy when they heard the news.
She told E! News: "I was just in bed and I was watching TV and they said my name.
"He was screaming louder than me! I think we might have scared the dog.
"I cried a lot and he hugged me and we kissed. It was really sweet."
Anne - who married Adam in September after fours years of dating - previously claimed she knew that if their first date went well, she would marry him.
She said: "I'm married to a nice guy, he's a producer. We met through friends.
"It was pretty instant, as soon as I met him I was like what is the deal with that guy, but someone told me had a girlfriend so I backed off. Then six weeks later I found out that he didn't have a girlfriend so I asked him to come to New Orleans with me. I had a spare ticket.

Welcome to Rumson! Where high school life involves working at the mall and includes the normal characters of porn-starved pervs, bitchy princesses, football jocks, and everyone you used to hang out with. Except for Wrighty, the shambling, macabre mockery of a man who brings terror to the town of Rumson and leaves blood in his wake. But when he sets his sights on Molly, beauty queen of Rumson High, she's going to be more than he can handle! THE DAILY SHOW and FRANK TV's Brendan Hay brings a AMERICAN PIE-meets-FRIDAY THE 13th sensibility to his horror series debut!
Reviewer Comments:
Scream Queen is your classic pop culture high school story with a twist. The twist of course being a murderer/monster wanders the streets of this little town, and has a crush on our main character. (awww, they'd be so cute together too.) Written by Brendan Hay, this line of stories is sure to touch on some interesting topics. Also in the process I'm sure we're set to see a hella lot of murders involving a lot of the cliché clicks that populate our culture and most entertainment industries today. (guess that's just how life is though, one cliché after another.)
The story seems to have a very classic and well done story line. The artwork is great, and the story also has a nice flow to it. I'm happy to say so far so good. Usually it's hard to like, or even know anything about the main characters during issue one. This comic however delivers exactly what you need to get into the minds of a few of the main characters, and already formulate who you like, and who you can't wait to see viciously filleted. Needless to say I look forward to reading the other four comics of this five part series.

What is a Room Escape Game?
A real-life escape room is a live puzzle solving adventure. You and your team of friends or co-workers must work together to uncover the clues, solve all the puzzles, and escape the locked room within the 60 minute time limit!
At Ryptic Room Escape you are at the center of a gripping mystery only you and your team can solve. You are joined by a Game Master that will direct you in the right direction and add a theatrical touch. The best teams divide and tackle the many obstacles in the room in order to make it out in time.
Will you escape?
An Activity for Everyone
Friends and Family
Looking for a unique activity for your friends and family? Ryptic Room Escape is a one-of-a kind experience for all ages!
Team Building
Ryptic Room Escape is the perfect team building activity for your staff, co-workers, school,or group! Everyone must work together to escape the room!
Private Events
We are open to host private events for birthdays and special occasions. Just give us a shout and we'll set it up!
Yes, all players must sign a wavier. All participants over 18 may sign a waiver on location. Participants under 18 must bring a waiver form signed by a parent found here or have parents sign the waiver for them on location.
Ryptic Room Escape is a real life, puzzle solving game. You and your team will actually be "locked" in a room! We love hosting team-building activities, birthday parties, date night, family night, or just another Friday night out!
You will have one hour to find clues, solve puzzles and discover the codes, passwords and keys that allow you to unlock the door and escape!
Yes! Just make sure to book all the tickets in your slot or check the "private event" checkbox, and you will be guaranteed a private game.
All our games have emergency exits – you will never truly be locked in (that would be dangerous!). However, if you exit the room before time is up, you will not be allowed back in- this would be disruptive to your fellow teammates. Please use the bathroom before starting your game.
If for any reason, we need to cancel your game, we will provide you at least 24 hours notice, and provide you with a full refund.
If you need to cancel the game:
We provide full refunds if you notify us of cancellation more than 72 hours in advance. We provide a free reschedule if you notify us of cancellation 48-72 hours in advance.
We cannot reschedule or refund with less than 48 hours notice.
If you do not show up for your game, your tickets are cancelled without refund.
If you are late, your tickets are cancelled without refund.
Tickets are not person specific, however, so they are transferable to another person. Just forward them your booking confirmation email.
Our games require very little physical exertion. There is no running, climbing, jumping or crawling required. We exercise your brain, not your body! We try our best to make our games fully handicap and wheelchair accessible, but are always open to feedback! (as of now only Escape from the Poltergeist and Escape from the Mad Hatter are wheelchair accessible) Our games are meant to be silly, not scary.
Our puzzles are meant to be challenging but solvable for all ages 13 and up. Participants under 18 must bring a waiver form signed by a parent found here. Children ages 6 to 13 must have an adult chaperone present in the room to play. Children under 6 years of age are not allowed in the room, for their own safety.
We often have teams split up and play different games at the same time. Try booking one room for each of our games!
That's totally normal! You'll probably end up playing with another group. Try to come with some friends – it's very hard to escape with less than 6 players. Games with less than 4 players may be subject to cancellation.
Of course! Just click the "Following Dates" button in the ticket booking widget. You can book up to 6 months in advance.
Yes! Check out our Gift Cards page!
Unfortunately no. Our room limits are based on the size and content limits of the rooms themselves. The only exception is if you're already having private game (you purchased all the tickets), we will permit you to purchase an additional ticket, with the understanding that it will be a little crowded!
We currently have two games: Escape from the Poltergeist and Escape from the Aliens, with locations in the San Francisco Bay Area – San Mateo and San Diego. We're still deciding on our next city, so feel free to let us know where you think we should go! You can also check out some of the other escape games in the SF Bay Area: Scrap, Houdini-escape, Paniq Escape, or Kuma Escape. For San Diego you may want to check out: Great Escape, Escape Game SD, Puzzalarium, or House of Hints.

Earlier this month, an appellate court in California issued a written opinion broadly interpreting what is considered a medical malpractice claim under the state's statutory framework for cases involving medical negligence. In the case, Nava v. Saddleback Memorial Medical Center, the court determined that the plaintiff's injury that occurred while he was being transported in the hospital on a gurney should have been brought within the one-year statute of limitations applicable to all medical malpractice cases.
Nava was a patient at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center. One day during his stay, he was being transferred from one part of the hospital to another on a gurney when the gurney tipped and Nava fell to the ground. As a result of the fall, Nava suffered fractures to his clavicle and his knee cap.
Nava filed a personal injury lawsuit against the hospital. The complaint was filed more than one year but less than two years after his injury. This is important because the applicable statute of limitations for negligence claims is two years; however, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is one year.

If x~_c y in a group G, show that x and y have infinite order or o(x)=o(y)
(Note: the relation x~_c y is called conjugacy, and as for any equivalence relation, the set G is partitioned by its equivalence classes)
This stuff becomes easy if you realize for
If |x| = .
if |y| = k ( a finite number)
so since x ~ y, there exists a s.t then
or which cannot be since order of x is .
Thus is x has order so does y.
If |x| = n (finite)
then so , so either |y| = n, so |y| is less than n. if |y| = k < n
so or contradiction so n = k.

NIESR's Global Economic Forecast
- World growth remains below trend at 3.3 per cent in 2013 and 3.7 per cent in 2014,little changed from our previous forecast.
- World trade will only grow slightly faster, and again below trend.
- The Euro Area will grow only slightly next year, while Japan is forecast to grow by 1.4 per cent, the US by 2.4 per cent, and China by 7.3 per cent.
- Interest rates will remain extremely low by historical standards, and inflationary pressures will remain subdued.
More than five years after the financial crisis, the world economy remains weak, with very high unemployment in advanced economies and continued below trend growth overall. However, for the moment at least, there are some signs of improvement, although significant downside risks remain.
Tensions on global financial markets, most notably those in Europe, have eased in recent months. A firm policy commitment to maintain the integrity of the Euro Area has allayed fears of a disorderly break-up, bringing yields on the most vulnerable sovereign bonds down. This in turn has softened the risk of an imminent and widespread banking crisis. Outside Europe, policymakers in the US reached a last-minute fiscal agreement to avoid the most severe tightening measures that would have pushed the economy towards recession. Aggressive monetary policy actions are underway in the US and Japan.
But while these actions have reduced the probability of the severe downside risks to our central forecast from emerging, the global economy remains extremely fragile. The improvement in financial market indicators has done little to address the debilitating factors underlying our modal forecast for the world economy: an impaired and opaque banking system, severe fiscal austerity introduced in a synchronised way in Europe, persistent policy uncertainty despite recent improvements, and a widespread lack of confidence among households and firms, which have been repeatedly disappointed following apparent short-term economic improvements. So while risk aversion has clearly subsided in financial markets in the short term, it is far less clear that this has affected the risk appetite associated with household saving and firm investment decisions. On top of this, world trade has slowed more markedly than expected, which will impede growth particularly in export-sensitive economies such as Germany and Japan.
Downside risks to the outlook include the stock cycle, as there is some evidence of excess inventory accumulation related to the slowdown in world trade; renewed tensions in relation to the Euro Area crisis; and a more abrupt fiscal adjustment in the US when the March sequestration deadline arrives. Some modest upside risks include successful implementation of the supplementary budget in Japan and additional monetary easing in the Euro Area.

Do you have a clear leadership brand? Is the leadership difference you make clearly understood by the people in your organization? How about the people outside of your organization?
If you're like me during my corporate career, I was fairly heads-down, nose-to-the-grindstone, getting the work done. Here's what I've discovered since then that I'm hoping each of us will be able to apply in our first and second careers – to have more successful and fulfilling life.
Why is Amplifying Your Leadership Brand Important?
- So we can be intentional about the difference we want to make and be consistent in delivering it.
- So we can engage more fully in the work we are doing and stand out from the crowd.
- Each of us are knowledge workers and those with a strong platform get the best opportunities to make a difference inside and outside the organization.
Many women leaders are pursuing an amplified leadership brand while working in their careers. One of them is Karin Hurt. She is an executive with a Fortune 15 company. I connected with Karin through social media as we were both participating in Todd Nielsen's International Leadership Blogathon and I was impressed by what she had written and I reached out to hear her story.
Like most of us she was heads down getting the work done for 20 years in her career. Then in June 2012 her son challenged her to get on Twitter. In less than 12 months she has over 15,000 Twitter followers and she's created a wide platform to share her leadership message: "It's been very important for me to define who I am as a leader. For me working to grow people and organizations through transparency and trusted partnerships is what's important. I'm spending time working on the people and people are working on the results" she says. Not only is she generating outstanding results on her business by "walking the talk", she is being asked to speak externally, and has a great blog called "Let's Grow Leaders" where she shares her message.
So how do you do that?
Five Steps To Amplifying Your Leadership Brand
1) Get clear on your leadership brand. As I define "The Authentic Brand YOU", it is your unique essence and impact in the world. This sense of clear purpose, the difference that we want to make in our work and in our community, ignites the fire that gets us going and helps us stand out. Karin's leadership purpose is growing people and organizations through transparency and trusted partnerships. She says "Bad leadership is my enemy!". Mine is helping women realize their potential to be transformational leaders. What's yours?
2) Get clear on why you want to amplify your brand. For some leaders it's about making a big impact – fully expressing who they are in their workplace, industry, and community. For others it may be to create an alternate stream of income while they work. Others may think about this as a way to kick-start their second careers. Once you get clear on the objective, determine how much time and energy you will put into this.
3) Find energizing ways to build your platform. A platform is nothing other than a way for us to amplify our message. Each of us is energized by different things. When we're already working full-time, it's important to find what energizes us so we'll actually take the time for this. Here are some ways to amplify your brand. Which do you find energizing?
- Become a curator of great content that inspires you and fits within your brand message. Use social media (Linked In, Twitter etc) to post articles that resonate for you in terms of your leadership brand.
- Start writing a blog and get a following (WordPress is an easy tool to do that).
- Start or join a mentoring circle with like minded people on topics that resonate for you.
- Get out and volunteer to speak/participate on panels related to your brand and message.
- Participate in a Meet-Up group that's targeted to your brand message.
4) Connect with like-minded people. Karin's advice is to give to others more than you receive. She expressed her delight at being able to share leadership resources with people from Kenya to Australia. Our message is amplified when we openly and generously share our resources (and our platform) to help others amplify theirs.
5) De-clutter activities that don't amplify your platform. Karin works on her blog and connecting with leadership communities daily. She works to make use of spare minutes (i.e. early mornings and airports). She doesn't watch TV. She also "works" on her blog while running or doing yoga which all inspire her leadership and writing. She is married with two children and is active in her church. Life, and the work situations that she encounters daily, inspire her leadership and writing.
What is one action you will commit to to amplify your leadership brand?

Posted in Broncos News by Ian Henson on Thu Mar 14th
On the eve of the NFL's Free Agency Denver Broncos safety Quinton Carter was arrested and charged on felony charges of cheating at a Las Vegas casino craps game.
The young safety is being charged on three counts (each carrying a maximum of six years) police are alleging that he was adding money to his bets after the dice had been cast.
Carter was arrested Saturday night at Palace Station, he is also dealing with a charge for failure to complete counseling on a 2011 marijuana charge.
Earlier in March John Elway justified a lack of interest in free agent safeties by stating that Carter would be back in the rotation and that he had faith at him returning full strength. Carter was on injured reserve for all but three games in the 2012 season.

Two great football teams, its legendary music scene and a tempting array of shops attract visitors to Manchester every day. I have lived in the northern city all of my life and am addicted to the place; there is always something going on whether I am in the mood for an all night clubbing session or afternoon tea with friends.
Manchester is an exciting city to be in right now as new restaurants, hotels, bars and shops are springing up all of the time; rumours about it being grim up north just aren't true. Its centre isn't the mass of grey concrete that many people expect, instead it contains a fascinating mix of ultra-modern buildings such as Beetham Tower (home to the Hilton Manchester Deansgate) and grand old buildings such as the neo-gothic town hall, plus there is plenty of green space in the suburbs. If you still need persuading that a trip to Manchester is a must-do, read my list of the top reasons to visit below.
The stylish shopping
Manchester's city centre alone will thrill shopaholics whether they are looking for a new designer handbag or a vintage pair of shoes. Add in the independent shops in suburbs such as Chorlton and Didsbury, and the huge indoor shopping centre the Trafford Centre and it is clear to see why Manchester's residents are (mainly) so stylish.
Sport: two great teams
Although football isn't really my cup of tea, even I can't deny that Manchester boasts two brilliant teams (Manchester United and Manchester City in case you are less of a football follower than me). Add to this Lancashire County Cricket Club – a great day out; Manchester Aquatics Centre – the only complex in the UK with two 50m pools; The Chill Factore – an indoor skiing and snowboarding slope; and Manchester Velodrome – Britain's primary indoor Olympic cycling track, and it is clear that Manchester is a must-visit destination for sport lovers from across the world.
The theatres: from musicals to experimental theatre
Lovers of all things dramatic are spoilt in Manchester. The city centre is home to five main theatres showing everything from musicals to experimental drama, and Salford Quays boasts The Lowry - a theatre, arts and entertainment venue. My favourite venue is the Royal Exchange - a seven-sided, glass-walled performing space in Manchester's former Cotton Exchange where Kate Winslet, Helen Mirren and Hugh Grant have performed.
The bars: fancy a pint in a public toilet?
Manchester's bar scene is buzzing and ever-growing and you can take your pick from quirky one off bars or big name chains; real ale pubs or swanky cocktail bars; jazz bars or comedy bars; there is even a bar in a converted public toilet (it's called The Temple if you want to visit).
Music: Oasis and The Halle Orchestra
"Mad for it", Madchester, the Hacienda, The Bee Gees, the Stone Roses, Elbow...Manchester's music scene is world-renowned, and for good reason. The Hacienda may now be trendy flats but the music venues, the new bands and the music festivals still exist and are exciting as ever. It's not just pop music though; The Halle Orchestra was founded in Manchester and still regularly performs in The Bridgewater Hall.
Architecture: surprisingly suave
Manchester isn't known for its good looks but the city centre is full of surprising architectural delights. You can't miss the 47 storey high Beetham Tower (the highest residential building in Europe), but smaller buildings to look out for include the neo-classical Central Reference Library (based on Rome's Colosseum), the all glass wedge-shaped Urbis (soon to be the National Football Museum) and the former Free Trade Hall (now the Radisson Edwardian Manchester).
Art and culture: Lowry land
Manchester's art scene is exciting and constantly evolving with the more traditional exhibition spaces such as the Manchester Art Gallery and the Whitworth Art Gallery being complemented by contemporary venues such as the Cornerhouse. The largest public collection of art from one of the city's most famous residents, LS Lowry, can also be found in The Lowry Art and Entertainment Centre.
The food: curries and cupcakes
It's not all pies and Eccles cakes in Manchester – although read about a great place to get a pie on my Manchester Cafés and Restaurants page – and the city's residents and visitors are spoilt by the range of top-quality restaurants, restaurants offering food from around the world, cafés, delis and bars. You can even eat on Manchester's famous Curry Mile then slope off to a "cupcakery"...if you so wish.
The celebrations of diversity
One of the best things about Manchester is the city's diversity and friendliness. Every year the city holds Manchester Pride – an extravagant event that raises money for Manchester's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and HIV communities (see more on my When to go to Manchester page). Mancunians don't need much of an excuse to party and other celebrations include a Chinese New Year Parade (in the second largest Chinatown in the UK), the Caribbean Carnival of Manchester and the newly-launched Manchester Day Parade.
You'll never be bored
There's always something going on in the capital of the north whether it is the annual Manchester Food and Drink Festival, the Christmas Markets or a stadium gig by a world-famous band. Take a look at a few highlights on my When to go to Manchester page.
I hope that you enjoy your visit – leave a comment on the forum and let me know.

Hello Houston Humanists,
My name is Debby Williams and I'm the president of Humanists of
Houston for 2017. For those of you who are new, HoH has been the local
branch of the American Humanist Association since 1978 and has grown in
recent years to one of its largest chapters. HoH was part of over 300
events in 2016 and as we continue to grow, we will continue to support the
needs of Humanists and their allies in the Houston area.
A little introduction of myself: I'm a graduate of Purdue University with
degrees in Political Science and History. For the last several years I've
worked for and volunteered with several non-profits. My family and I moved to Houston in 2014 and have been involved with HoH almost from the moment I got here. This is a great organization with a proud Texas history and I am very excited about the opportunity to keep moving it
As we move into 2017, Humanism and its values are facing challenges. As a 501(c)3 organization, HoH must not and will not engage in political situations which support or oppose a particular candidate. However, when moral and ethical issues are put before us, it is a Humanist core value to fight the good fight. We will vigorously defend our positions regarding issues of equal rights, racism, separation of church and state, and the promotion of science and reason through out the coming year.
HoH hosts about 30 events a month ranging from social gatherings to
intellectually challenging events. For a complete list of what is going
on, please join our Meetup group here.
We also have a Facebook group and Youtube Channel with videos of previous
HoH guest speakers.
Thanks for being a part of HoH. We look forward to seeing you at the next
Debby Williams

Dorcas Meadowes' Laundry Service by Chemical_Pixie
Format: Novel
Chapter 20: Epilogue
--Alastor Moody to Harry Potter, describing members of the original Order in OotP.
Now, Colin, promise me that youll take lots of pictures, his father said to him.
Colin, aged eleven, looked bright-eyed up at his father, his blonde hair falling into his eyes. Of course, Dad! Ill take pictures of the train, of the castlethe castle, can you believe it?--, of my dorm room and friends
Okay, okay, son, we get it, laughed Mr. Creevey. He placed his hands on Colins tiny shoulders. Have a good term. And dont forget to write.
Okay, promised Colin. He turned towards his little brother, who was standing quietly in front of their mother. Ill see you at Christmas, okay, Dennis? Ill get you something especially cool. Maybe theyll have something better than those jelly beans we had in Digagon Alley
Diagon Alley, dear, said his mother, Linda. She blinked, surprised at how automatic her response was. She felt out of place amongst a platform of wizards, but this instant in time felt so familiar to her.
Diagon Alley. Okay, Dennis?
Yes! See if they have any chocolates, will you? Dennis asked. And, well, maybe one day I can go to Hogwarts, too. Right, Mum?
Her youngest son suddenly turned towards her, his bright eyes having an almost pleading shine. Lindas heart sank at his words; there was a pit in her stomach that felt as if it had been just uncovered, this uncertainty bubbling after years of denying it.
Of course, dear, Linda reassured him, patting him on the arm. Just give it some time. You have to finish learning your maths, first.
Mr. Creevey laughed. Well son, its about time to get on the train. The other children are doing so, too.
Colin looked around nervously to make sure that he wasnt the only student off the train. The platform was extremely crowded, dotted with children saying their final goodbyes. He turned to board the train.
Wait! Colin! Arent you forgetting to say goodbye to your mother? Linda asked.
Colins look of horror made her heart melt. Her first born was now going away to a place to which she would never be able to have access. He was going to a world where she would never be able to understand. Suddenly, Linda Creevey did not want Colin to go to this Hogwarts. But she cast aside her uncertainty after one look at the excitement and anxiety written on his face.
She embraced her son.
Bye, Mum. I love you, Colin said.
I love you, too, Colin, Linda replied, rubbing his back. She didnt want him to leave. But he had to. He had to. Have a good term, sweetheart.
Colin broke the embrace and leapt onto the trainjust in time, too. The whistle blew and the doors closed. With a lurch, the Hogwarts Express began to move.
Lindas heart also gave a lurch. Her baby was being whisked away from her, from her safe arms. If anything ever happened to Colin, she didnt know what she would do.
Hell have a smashing good time. He is, after all, a wizard! said Mr. Creevey jovially.
Linda wasnt convinced, but she didnt say anything as she watched the scarlet steam engine carry her son away from her. As the train rounded the corner and out of sight, it felt as if Linda were watching a glimpse of her past, and she couldnt fathom why.
The musty smell of the attic greeted her before she could even see its content. The light bulb had never been changed, but, after some considerable use these past few weeks, Linda was sure that it would need to be soon.
She found the box where she had hastily put the things that had been inside her old trunk from her childhood. Colin had it now, on the Hogwarts Express. Soon it would find residence in a castle with her son as its keeper. Linda was glad that she had been able to see her trunk go to good use. She had had it for as long as she could remember.
There were a few photo albums peeking from the top of the box, along with a few antique tablecloths.
Linda sat on the wooden floor, examining the table cloths. Supposedly they had been her parents or her grandparents. She soon found herself looking at photos in her album, from the time she was studying the cello at university to the time Dennis went to his first day of school.
The box still wasnt empty. Among the doilies, Linda noticed a blue bottle she had nearly forgotten about. She pulled it out of the box.
Its blue tint was as vivid as ever. It seemed only yesterday that she was using the best laundry detergent she had ever used. Linda remembered trying to find it when she had run out of it. The company who had called her never existed, which made her wonder who the woman selling the detergent had been .
But still, Linda and her family enjoyed wonderful smelling clothes for months. She couldnt find it in her heart to throw the bottle away. She had to admit that it was a beautiful bottle.
She took off the cap and gave a whiff. To her surprise, she could still smell its contents, though the scent was weak.
With a sigh, Linda put down the detergent and glanced into the box again. There was a picture frame at the bottom, facing down.
Carefully, she lifted the frame and turned it over. There was a lot of dust on the glass, so Linda had to gingerly wipe it off.
I know you, she said aloud, squinting down at the girl in the frame. The photograph was aged, but Linda vaguely remembered having this picture in her possession.
The girl looked to be about Colins age. She was wearing a blue frock. She had dark hair, and, if Linda looked closely enough, blue eyes. She was standing by some sort of wooden fence, right next to a barn. Linda was suddenly dizzy.
With trembling fingers, she took the back of the frame off and slid the photograph out. On the back of the picture, there was a small inscription.
Aged 11
Dorcas? breathed Linda, turning the photograph over.
The girl, presumably named Dorcas, was smiling, but only just. She didnt look entirely sad, either. She seemed knowledgeable, like she knew a lot about lifes difficulties, even at her young age. But in her expression there was still hope.
Who was this Dorcas? What became of her? Did she become a schoolteacher? Or an accountant? Did she find love? Was she married? Did she have any children?
Nothing in this photograph suggested any answers to her questions. Dorcas only existed in that moment in 1966, aged eleven.
Linda, biting her lip, gently put the photograph back in the frame. She had no idea how she had come across such a picture. She felt obligated to keep it because when Linda looked at the young girl Dorcas, it felt like she was glancing into the foggiest of memories.

The plans announced by Hillel at UCLA to combat the campus anti-Semitism and the bullying of Israel supporters has picked up key community support.
Sinai Temple whose Rabbi David Wolpe -- who was called the most influential Rabbi in America by Newsweek Magazine and one of the 50 most influential Jews in the world by the Jerusalem Post -- sent an email to its congregation urging support of the UCLA Hillel effort. The letter said in part, that the anti-Semitism on campus is "attempting to disqualify a generation of pro-Israel students from campus leadership and add to the rising presence of the BDS movement."
Along with targeted harassment of a Jewish students by the campus Muslim magazine, Students for Justice in Palestine, Jewish Voice for Peace (named as one of the top ten anti-Israel organizations in America), the Muslim Student Association (associated with the Muslim Brotherhood), the Afrikan Student Union, and the Armenian Students' Association have banded together to promote an "ethics statement" which asked student government candidates to prohibit themselves from visiting Israel with pro-Israel organizations.
When news of this proposal first came to light, Israel on Campus Coalition Executive Director Jacob Baime told TruthRevolt, ""College students should be encouraged to explore and engage the world" and that he hoped students are "not intimidated by closed-minded zealots with their heads in the sand."
Rabbi Aaron Lerner of the UCLA Hillel sent a letter to the community asking for help. Temple Sinai responded with an email to its congregation almost immediately:
Dear Sinai Temple Community,
We want to bring to your attention the most recent events affecting the UCLA community:
We are informed that before elections for UCLA student government offices, candidates running to serve as officers in the undergraduate student government at UCLA were asked to sign an ethics statement, a pledge that they will not go on certain free or sponsored trips to Israel, AIPAC Policy Conference, etc. The pledge would require council members to abstain from participating in trips paid for or partially sponsored by American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Hasbara Fellowships.
This sentiment speaks to UCLA attempting to disqualify a generation of pro-Israel students from campus leadership and add to the rising presence of the BDS movement -- BDS is the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign which targets and demonizes Israel.
The Sinai Temple Israel Center supports the UCLA Jewish community and stands by her side at this trying time. We pledge our commitment to the strengthening of ties within the Jewish community and our obligation to visit the land of Israel. An attack on our students' right to express their Jewish identity and love for Israel is an attack against the entire Jewish community, here in Los Angeles and abroad.
Bruins for Israel, supported by Hillel at UCLA, has organized a petition which condemns this type of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish activity and outlines positive steps to promote respectful and inclusive conversation among all UCLA students. If you are an alum or know of alumni and current students, we invite you to sign your name to this statement (http://www.bruinsforisrael.com/statement/) and join the Bruins Against BDS Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/StopBDSatUCLA).
May our Sinai Temple community stand united with the UCLA Jewish student body,
The Sinai Temple Israel Center

On the use of Quotation Marks
Revised Oct 21, 1993
Published in
Etc: A Review of General Semantics,
Vol. 51 No 1, Spring 1994
I have found in formal writings that philosophers, linguists, and mathematicians share a very specific convention regarding the use of single quotation marks -- one that differs from the convention adopted by the General Semantics Bulletin. Such conventions serve as the mechanism by which time-binding operates. Time-binding is more effective when a single system of notation is used; this is so because there is no need to translate between systems. I urge that general semanticists adopt the majority convention so as to remain consistent with the greater community of which we are a part.
Let's look at the origin of the majority convention. In normal usage terms are not quoted; (double) quotation marks are used to indicate what someone else said (or wrote). When it is necessary to talk about the words themselves, Philosophers, linguists, and mathematicians use single quotation marks. This is called mentioning the words and is contrasted with using them. In addition to mention and using terms, Gottlob Frege distinguished what is now called the sense of a term. (1)
First I will illustrate the use-mention distinction. The formal version of the standard example I use goes:
In this sentence, the first instance of the word 'word' is used while the second instance is mentioned.
In this example the function of indicating that the second instance is to be taken as mentioned is redundant. The first instance of 'word' clearly directs the attention of the reader to the word itself as apposed to what the word refers to. Other words, for example, 'term', 'phrase', etc., would also serve this same purpose. The presence of such an indicator term makes the single quotations about the term that follows redundant. There is, I believe, an informal convention that permits deleting the single quotation marks when such an indicator term is present. The informal version of the standard example I use goes:
In this sentence, the first instance of the word word is used while the second instance is mentioned.
Let me give examples using some other word -- 'red'.
|I like red. [the color]
|I like 'red'. [the word]
|Mentioned by quotes
|I like the word red.
|Mentioned by 'word'
The use and mention of a term may also be distinguished from the sense of a term. Frege identified this third function for terms. His contribution comes from showing that use and mention alone are not enough to prevent paradoxes in arguments using quotations. Frege noted that the morning star (Phosphorus) is not the evening star (Hesperus) even though they are the same planet -- Venus. The phrase 'the morning star' refers to the same celestial body that the phrase 'the evening star' refers to, but when we speak of them we often mean something different; we mean something like "the appearance of a star in the morning" and "the appearance of a star in the evening". For this function of a term or phrase Frege proposed the term 'sense'. A "sense" of a term is neither the term itself (the term mentioned) nor its referent (the term used). When philosophers wish to emphasize that a term may be being "used" in some non-standard sense, they put double quotation marks about it -- what we call "scare quotes". Of course, I believe it is also a convention that once the particular sense of a term is established in a given context, the scare quotes may be deleted for subsequent uses of the term in that context. Scare quotes derive from quoting another person who may not be using a term in the conventional or correct way.
Here are examples of each in the context of a little story. There are 4 people in the story. Bert, Ernie, John, and Mary. John and Mary are married. Bert doesn't know Mary's husband's name, but he isn't about to say so, so he picks the name 'Pete' to talk about Mary's husband. The following conversation illustrates the differences.
|1. Bert:
|"Pete went to pick up Mary."
|2. Ernie:
|"Who's Pete?"
|3. Bert:
|"Mary's husband."
|4. Ernie:
|"Mary's husband is John."
|5. Bert:
|"Mary's not married to Pete?"
|6. Ernie:
|"Mary's husband's name is 'John'".
|7. Bert:
In (1) Bert used the name 'Pete' to refer to John, but the sense Bert had in mind was "Mary's husband". He might have said, "Mary's husband went to pick up Mary." In (4) Ernie mentions John by using his name. In (6) Ernie mentions John's name. Talk about what the word refers to is using the word; talk about the word itself is mentioning the word; talk about what the word means other than these two is talk about a sense of the word. When Bert spoke the name 'Pete' in (1) he was not using it; nor was he mentioning the name 'Pete'. Ernie was talking about John, but he had been thinking something like "Mary's husband" when he said 'Pete'. Abbott and Costello's "Who's on first" has lots of fun with this. The sense of the names chosen overpowers the denotation, and no use-mention indicators are provided.
I find the convention of double quotation marks for scare quotes and single quotation marks for terms mentioned to be fairly standard in the academic writings of philosophy, linguistics and mathematics. But the General Semantics Bulletin has adopted the use of single quotes to function as the extensional device to indicate that the word may not be being used in the conventional sense -- scare quotes. By so doing the Bulletin has adopted a standard which conflicts with the standard use in formal and technical writings in the greater culture. This requires a form of translation and is inefficient for time-binding.
I urge the adoption of the standard convention within the general semantics community. If we are "to be" effective time-binders, we ought to use the symbols that are in use by the vast majority of people who formally talk about language and its use. We would then be consistent with the majority convention.

Many people ask me what is the purpose of mirror coating on Sunglasses. Some people think it's only cosmetic. It does have a job to do. The main job of mirror coating is to reflect harsh light rays from the eyes. Consider it as a wall that light must pass to cause your eyes fatigue from the strong sun. It is recommended for extremely bright light conditions. Many brands such as Julbo will apply it to their glacier sunglasses models for the glare from the snow. Manufacturers will offer solid and flash mirror coatings. You can even see gradient mirror coating on occasions. Solid mirror coating is applied fully to the whole lens and other people can see their reflection in it. Flash mirror coating is partially applied to the lens and does not have the full mirror effect. This produces a shiny effect to the lens surface. Gradient mirror coating can be present when the mirror coating fades in the middle of the lens and completely disappears at the bottom. People can still see your eyes through a flash mirror coating.
I will be completely honest, I like mirror coating for a very different, very useful reason. When I am at the beach or walking around shopping on a weekend afternoon I use my mirror coating to people watch without being detected. It allows me to check out attractive people undetected. I have had customer's request mirror coating for that reason too. One man even joked that he didn't want to get slapped while checking out pretty girls. So you see mirror coating does a useful purpose, to block bright light and watch attractive people. I won't get caught peeping while wearing my undercover mirror coating.

Cornmeal Pancakes with Maple Orange Butter
Saturday and Sunday mornings are everyone's favorites, of course. Sleeping in, Saturday morning cartoons, and big yummy breakfasts… I can recall pancake breakfasts from my childhood with so much fondness, and I always loved pancakes for dinner. I always feel so luxuriant when I make a special breakfast, especially during the week, so when I recently started working from home on Wednesdays I knew I had to do a pancake breakfast for Joshua and I.
When I started thinking about what sort of pancakes I wanted to make, my imagination started running wild, but when I looked in the refrigerator, I realized I had no milk and no buttermilk. It was also pouring rain. Running out into the downpour would have put a cramp on my "stay-in-my-pj's-all-day" style.
What I did have in my fridge was Greek Yogurt which I knew would make a rich, dense, and super creamy yet slightly tart and highly textured corn meal pancake. These hot cakes are the perfect canvas for a maple orange zest butter (which incidentally tasted just like creamsicles). This is a great rainy-day breakfast to eat while hanging with your sweetie while still in your PJs.
Ingredients Gluten Free Cornmeal Pancakes
- 2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup whole grain gluten free flour
- 1 cup medium ground organic cornmeal
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 heavy pinch sea salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions: Gluten Free Cornmeal Pancakes
- Preheat oven to 200º & place a baking sheet lined with parchment paper inside.
- Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until well-combined. Refrigerate batter for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet (or two) or griddle over medium high heat and melt a little butter for your pancakes. Cook pancakes until golden brown and set at the edges before flipping. Once you flip to the second side, they'll cook quickly. Move the cooked pancakes into the oven to stay warm.
- 1 stick of organic butter
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- zest of 1 large orange
- Add butter, maple syrup, and orange zest to food processor and mix up well until whipped and beautifully sherbet-colored.

Obamacare will push the equivalent of about 2 million workers out of the labor market by 2017 as employees decide either to work fewer hours or drop out of the job market altogether, according to estimates released Tuesday by the Congressional Budget Office.
The analysis set off a furious debate in Washington. The White House argued that the reduction is positive because it means Americans will forgo jobs or extra work to stay home with their children or strike out on their own as entrepreneurs. Republicans, however, said the report amounted to an "I told you so" moment and that subtracting the equivalent of 2 million workers can't be good for the economy.
Conservative media outlets are misstating the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) findings regarding the Affordable Care Act Leftist Link
The decline in full- time-equivalent employment stemming from the ACA will consist of some people not being employed at all and other people working fewer hours; however, CBO has not tried to quantify those two components of the overall effect.
The funny thing is, we have already seen the effects of this legislation. More people are working part-time because employers do not want to be responsible for the requirements ACA lays out.
People need to come back to reality.
Effects of the Employer Penalty on Labor Supply
Under the ACA, employers with 50 or more full-timeequivalent
employees will face a penalty if they do not
offer insurance (or if the insurance they offer does
not meet certain criteria) and if at least one of their fulltime
workers receives a subsidy through an exchange.
Originally scheduled to take effect in 2014, that penalty
is now scheduled to be enforced beginning in 2015. In
CBO's judgment, the costs of the penalty eventually will
be borne primarily by workers in the form of reductions
in wages or other compensation—just as the costs of a
payroll tax levied on employers will generally be passed
along to employees.12 Because the supply of labor is
responsive to changes in compensation, the employer
penalty will ultimately induce some workers to supply
less labor.
In the next few years, however, when wages probably will
not adjust fully, those penalties will tend to reduce the
demand for labor more than the supply. In the longer
run, some businesses also may decide to reduce their
hiring or shift their demand toward part-time hiring—
either to stay below the threshold of 50 full-timeequivalent
workers or to limit the number of full-time
workers that generate penalty payments. But such shifts
might not reduce the overall use of labor, as discussed

I find it endlessly hilarious that despite cold hard facts in front of your nose, people would rather believe a lie than read between the lines. Have you really bought into the fear mongering so much that you believe the dribble of Fox news? Funny that FOX NEWS AND IT SUBSIDIARIES ARE THE ONLY NEWS STATIONS REPORTING THIS TRASH.
The companies are reducing hours down to part time to bypass giving their employees healthcare, I doubt the prezi is sitting around plotting our individual demise by reduction in our work hours... so if you work at McDonalds just wait,
once legislation is passed it will be illegal to reduce work force hours to essentially break the law of the land.

What is funny is that some people would actually believe that people would CHOOSE not to work when they have mouths to feed and bills to pay.

This page will provide the latest official news from Ipecac Recordings. Please be sure to read through these articles before contacting Ipecac Recordings with a question that may be answered here.
News Update
Just to address some of trhe more popular responses we have received regarding the Halloween fiasco: we have in fact searched for another venue in NYC. A few problems
1) it is halloween(a popular NYC holiday)
2) it is the CMJ music convention(thousands of bands have booked all the venues
3) we need a place that can fit 2400 people with tix but is affordable to rent
It is simply not going to happen and there is no one more upset than we are. We are trying to find a way for you to reach the Roxy to voice your displeasure and let them know how much $ you have lost. Stay tuned.
News Update
We certainly understand the anger that many of you are feeling, however making death threats or racist or homophobic comments about Carl Cox or us is not going to help anything.
News Update
News Update
!@#*!!* We are VERY sorry (and angry) to announce that the Halloween show has been CANCELLED!!!!!!!
We have experienced a lot of unpleasant things in the music industry but nothing as ridiculous as this. We sincerely apologize to all the people who are screwed over by this news.
Here is what happened. It seems that the venue that was hosting our party, the Roxy, somehow booked 2 shows for the same night. Our show and DJ Carl Cox. For reasons not entirely known to us they have decided to honor Carl Cox's contract and not ours. It was proposed that we move our show earlier and let Carl Cox play later but Carl Cox was not interested in this proposition. Our promoter, Clear Channel was screwed by the Roxy as were we.
Needless to say we are miserable. Merchandise was made for this show, flights were booked, hotels booked, tours routed around this show.
We have been advised to let you know that you must go to the point of purchase for your tickets to get a full refund. If it was done over the Internet please e-mail the place you purchased them as soon as possible.
We are looking into potential legal action but of course that does not help any of us right now.
Once again. We are very sorry!!! Please don't hold this against our label. We value all of our supporters. We are all victims of this idiocy.
best, Mike & Greg
PS Tomahawk will NOT be playing on the 30th at the roxy either.

Line up out beginning of April according to latest tweet.
I always get this one confused with high sierra.
weirdly enough, they will probably have similar line ups. Hopefully not for MH.
hahahahahahaha jack johnson
$150! haha
I would think about getting a single-day ticket for Sunday, considering one of my favorite bands of all time is playing that day (My Morning Jacket), and probably my favorite hip-hop artist (Atmosphere), along with Bassnectar and Ozomatli. Might be worth a trip depending on finances.
Oh god.... That is horrific. You couldn't pay me to go to that.
I was wondering if BlackSwan would go if someone paid him. Glad I didn't have to ask. Someone post the lineup for Bamboozle so we can find out if Swan would or wouldn't go if someone paid him.
That is a very Denver-friendly lineup. The festival will probably have a decent turnout.
Denver Friendly. Fuck that.
Im just happy most of the shows I go to never sell out here.
Drive-By Truckers --> Jimmy Cliff --> MMJ would be a day well spent.
You can only buy 2 day tickets.......
I will go just because it is about 4 miles away and it's $150. Any out of town people can stay with me ...
what's the other music fest in colorado that's better than this one?
Ron, I think he's referring to Monolith.
Ron, I don't think kreutz knew it was gone gone.
this is definitely a "denver" friendly line up and might even sell out. JJ sold out Red Rocks in 4 seconds and the scalped tickets were going for hundreds of dollars in 08. Plus DMB and MMJ are really popular in the area. No, not my cup of tea and wouldn't travel for this festival but someone could pay ME to go to this.
meh, we can try both.
You know the festival is going to be bomb when Jack Johnson is billed three lines above Cypress Hill
Edit: I would also like to add that the headliners are Jack Johnson and The Dave Mathews band..... add Guetta and/or Tiesto and I believe we will have the whole bro population of North America in one spot
yeah, pretty lame lineup. i will not be making a return trip this year.
