When you're in the Dordogne, you're in the heart of la belle France, complete with majestic chateaux, unspoilt countryside and great cuisine
Mention the Dordogne in certain circles, and you may be met with a slight curling of the lip, or a supercilious sneer. Isn't the place overrun with the worst sort of Brit tourist? And worse, colonised by dull expats who make no effort to speak French and infuriate the locals by driving the prices of modest houses beyond their means? Well, up to a point. The Dordogne region of France is a major tourist destination - but if you stay off the beaten track, and avoid the peak season, you'll find it utterly captivating.
Most visitors hit the Dordogne during July and August, when hotels and restaurants start to burst at the seams. Apart from the crowds, there's another good reason for avoiding the summer: the heat can be suffocating, with temperatures regularly hitting the high 30°s and not a beach in sight. It's advisable to go in spring or summer – May and September are the best months. But don't go in the winter: it can get cold and wet and many places close down completely.
This is a region to be savoured at an unhurried pace; there are always sights to catch the eye, some forgotten corner to stumble upon. The great Dordogne river – which flows 500km from the Massif Central to the Atlantic – defines the area and sweeps through some majestic scenery and a heartland that is still steeped in what the French call douceur de vivre, a gentle way of life.
One of the best ways to get a feel for the river – and a very good means of doing some gentle sightseeing - is to hire a canoe. You drift past stupendous mediaeval chateaux looming over the river, and pretty little villages with stone-roofed cottages. Start at the village of Limeuil, where the Vezere and Dordogne rivers meet; the canoe hire company will then drive you and your canoe as far up the river as you want, and down you meander for a couple of hours. You'll have earned a good lunch.
Even the French – who are notoriously particular when it comes to cuisine and service – migrate to the Dordogne for the food. Many consider the region to be the gastronomic centre of France (and therefore the world?), and it is justly famed for its foie gras, truffles, walnut oil and assorted goodies. Even in the humblest establishment it is almost impossible to eat badly. And there's no shortage of decent local wines to wash it all down.
If you need a little exercise to work off your culinary excesses, then head off to either Beynac or Castelnaud, two villages both dominated by spectacular chateaux that eyeball each other across the Dordogne river. It's a decent climb to the top of both, but it's worth it – the panoramic views from the top are stunning. These mighty fortresses changed hands several times during the Hundred Years' War, and Beynac was captured and held by Richard the Lionheart for 10 years. When he died from a gangrenous wound in 1189, the heart-shaped keyholes in the castle were fashioned in his memory.
What to do
Go canoeing on the river – it's a really leisurely way of seeing the sights. Don't forget to buy some foie gras to take home; goose liver (d'oie entier) is the best. And check out the market at St Cyprien on Sundays – it's off the main roads and less of a zoo than the big market at Sarlat down the road.
Where to stay
Best bet is to stay at one of the many hotels in the countryside, away from the towns. Choose, for example, Le Manoir de Bellerive, an elegant little 19th-century chateau, which sits right on the banks of the Dordogne river and boasts a Michelin-starred restaurant.
A little further afield (about 20 minutes drive from Sarlat) is the charming Manoir D'Hautegente, which dates back to the 13th century and is run by the same family who have lived there for several generations. It's like staying in someone's beautiful home, except the food is superior.
Where to eat
You'll have earned a good lunch in the lovely little garden of Le Chai restaurant (05 53 63 39 36), tucked unobtrusively just back from the river at Limeuil; the food is excellent and they boast 80 different flavours of ice cream.
Also try and fit in a visit to the bastide of Domme, a frequent winner of the 'prettiest village in France'. As a result, it's wholly given over to tourism, so go in the evening, when the day-tripper coaches have all disappeared, and look in at the Cabanoix and Chataignes (05 53 31 07 11) for dinner. It's run by the genial Laurent Secouard – who once cooked for President Mitterrand at the Elysee Palace - and will give you a true flavour of the best local cuisine.

Google is launching its new 'AdWords Premier SMB Partner Program'. This vendor referral program has been designed for the small business advertisers who want to invest in AdWords. The small businesses will be referred to a list of companies that have been a part of Google's 'authorized reseller' program.
The Benefits Of Becoming A Partner:
The idea behind becoming a SMB partner is that it will allow the company's customer base to expand and deliver better, more direct and reportable results to the advertisers. Since only a chosen few highly qualified companies become Premier SMB Partners, that is why becoming a partner will help companies stand apart from the crowd. When a business will partner with Google, they will be able to deliver the solutions the customers are looking for. Apart from the boost one can expect from the Google support, the Premier SMB Partners benefit from executive, technical, sales, marketing, account and partner management aid from the search engine.
In other words, the signed up vendors get huge benefits as compared to other Google reseller partners.
The Criteria Of Becoming A Partner:
So, if this has got you interested, then these are the minimum criteria that you need to fulfill to be able to sign up for the program:
- Large existing customer base of small / medium sized businesses
- Tele / field sales force with the ability to sell Google's advertising products
- Commitment to provide phone and/or email customer support to their advertiser base
- Existing operational infrastructure (billing, reporting, etc) to service thousands of customers
Google says that to become Premier Partner, the companies will have to undergo scrutiny (that includes training and testing) by Google. Also Google will instruct and supervise their product and sales positioning. The commitment to the best user experience has led Google to add these further conditions- the company needs to undertake customer satisfaction surveys. And in case the SMB customers are unhappy, Google will receive and investigate the complaints associated with the program and these partners.
In return Google will support in promotion, marketing activities. As Google says, "Because of the close nature of the way we work with our premier partners, we typically only work with companies that are committed to build their businesses around Google AdWords products and have the ability to build a base of several hundred, and in many cases, several thousand advertisers."
The Google Objective:
Google is looking for a long term success in the small businesses market. The search engine giant understands that its networks of channel partners is essential in achieving their objective. The simplified version of AdWords – AdWords Express is to ensure a better AdWords experience for the small businesses and the bring down the sales cost for the Premier partners. The number of resellers in this category will be limited by Google. Limited to what number is not clear yet.

In a Republican Party that seemingly no longer believes or understands its limited government rhetoric, Rep. Paul Ryan has long been an outlier. Much like his late mentor in Jack Kemp, Ryan has always given the impression that he supports light taxation, limited government and stable money values precisely because they would do the most to lift the economic chances of those least well to do.
That's why Ryan's latest budget proposal is such a disappointment. In proclaiming that his plan will balance revenues and spending by 2023, it's apparent that Ryan's lost the reformist fire that used to set him apart from his fellow Republicans. In promising to balance the federal budget, Ryan has very much made plain that he's given up any pretense of shrinking the burden that is government.
To understand why, it has to be remembered that there's nothing "small government" about balanced budgets. This is particularly true in the United States.
Thinking about the U.S., and Ryan no doubt knows this well, Americans are easily some of the most productive people on earth. Because they are, and because their private output is enormous, the federal government collects gargantuan sums on an annual basis thanks to its power to tax.
Ryan observes that his budget "returns government to its proper limits and focus," but even he must have chuckled when he typed out what is so plainly untrue. When we consider how very limiting is our founding document in the Constitution, it's surely laughable that Ryan's 10-year, $41 trillion dollar budget will return government "to its proper limits and focus." More likely it's the opposite, particularly when we consider that Ryan is in no way talking about reducing annual federal spending. Instead, and this is typical of Washington budgeting, Ryan's merely talking about reductions in planned increases in federal spending. Or, as he puts it, "On the current path, spending will increase by 5% each year. Under our proposal, it will increase by 3.4%."
Taking this further, would readers prefer annual deficits of $500 billion on $1 trillion in spending, or a balanced federal budget of $4.1 trillion in 2023 as Ryan promises? The answer should be obvious, but if it's not, the deficit-infused $1 trillion dollar budget is the one that would make us much better off economically.
Indeed, lost on the deficit worriers is the simple truth that a dollar is a dollar is a dollar. Deficits aren't the problem, but federal spending is. Whether we're financing deficit spending or paying for it all with incoming federal revenues is of no economic consequence; the real burden being the dollars taxed or borrowed to fund that which is unproductive and that exists at the expense and often to the detriment of the profit-disciplined private sector.
Considering the above in light of the Ryan's balanced budget proposal, assuming what's unlikely, that the Ryan plan prevails as written, the economy-smothering burden that is our federal government will continue to grow – substantially. This would be true for any country, but it's particularly true for a country such as ours full of the most economically productive people on earth. Balanced budgets are far from an impressive feat in a country populated by talented people whose economic exploits will generate massive amounts of taxable income and gains. In short, to balance the federal budget in the U.S. is to grow the size and scope of government immensely, and because the latter is true, Ryan shouldn't dilute his small-government brand with a balanced budget plan offered up under the false pretense of parsimony.
The logical answer to the above is that the days of small government are over, and that Ryan's doing the best he can in consideration of a federal government no longer limited by the Constitution. Ryan apologists would add that even under his existing proposal he'll be pilloried by lefty politicians and their media enablers as the ultimate Austerian; stingily taking away Grandma's healthcare. Of course the latter explains why Ryan should have gone for broke, and actually proposed shrinking the size of the federal government.
Indeed, as evidenced by the false adjectives that will be attached to Ryan's budget no matter its size, the traditional media were and are going to attack him. That being the case, Ryan should have proposed something that's actually meaningful when it comes to shrinking our federal burden. The traditional media would have hit him hard, much as they're doing now, but in proposing real cuts he would have ensured a real debate about the proper role of government. Also, it must be remembered that the mainstream or traditional media we've long known is not the powerful force that it once was. Thanks to the internet, Americans are not as a reliant anymore on traditional sources for their news. Put plainly, while the New York Times would and will report negatively on any Paul Ryan budget, Americans are less and less reliant on the Times for analysis of matters political and economic.
After that, it's heavy government spending that represents austerity and slow growth, while lower spending represents a reduction in the certain economic burden that is our federal government. If Republicans, and in particular Paul Ryan, can't make the latter case, then welcome to the minority. Put simply, Republicans will never win the battle over who can redistribute wealth. On the other hand, they can win the argument if they use history and logic to explain to the voters that the federal government is their burden in terms of lower wages and reduced job opportunities. Paul Ryan no doubt knows this, and that's why his federal government expanding 'balanced budget' is such a disappointment.

Look up DIME (Dense Intert Metal Explosive) missiles. Google it and read about it. Once you have it will become painfully evident to you exactly what caused the end of this child's life. So to answer your question, yes, I have done extensive research on it and I have offered my conclusion - DIME missile.

Hamas' dead baby strategy
The Hamas "dead baby" strategy - to cause as many civilian casualties as possible by firing its deadly rockets from schools and densely populated areas
Hamas also knew that Israel could not stop the rockets... without accidentally killing some Palestinian children
Hamas also knew that the media would show the dead Palestinian children around the world
Indeed, it had its camera crews out and ready to film and transmit every gruesome image of every dead Palestinian child

This is going to kick off in ten days time, on the 31st of March.
This time I want to be a bit more structured and really get people to lock in a commitment to training at least 5 days a week, and to hitting their nutritional targets by default, unless there's a good reason not to. I've written in the past about how this really doesn't take very much at all, other than basic organisation skills. We all have good enough organisation skills to get through life, fulfill our obligations, show up at work on time and so on. Succeeding with a training & flexible dieting plan is no different.
We simply need to DECIDE that we are in fact going to be successful, and then get organised and do it.
Organised as in, spend a few minutes considering your schedule, then decide what time you are going to hit the gym every day. Is it first thing, before work? Then set your alarm and just treat it as non-optional. Treat it the same as getting up on time to get your (hypothetical) kids ready for school, or putting the bins out, or doing the grocery shopping or the laundry. It's just stuff that has to be done as a part of your life, and it's only a big deal if you it you make it one.
Even if your schedule changes from day to day due to varying work rosters... you can still get organised and decide what would be the best time to train subject to what shift you might have. Then, just have it on lock. If I'm on that shift, I train at this time.
I did rotating shifts for many, many years. I know this can be done.
Now for the flexible dieting... again this is a matter of organisation. We're not trying to starve or restrict food choices or do anything else unpleasant or difficult. We simply need to be organised enough to say "here's what I'm likely to eat tomorrow, how does that add up?" and then make any necessary changes in order to meet our guidelines. It's real simple.
What I have got planned this time is for progression from one month to the next. For example starting with a plan of appropriate calories for "your body with light activity", and then increasing that minimum calorie requirement the next month as will be required in order to facilitate further progress and results from training. Similarly we will have a plan for progressing to more advanced versions of the training routines.
Details are online now on my official business site: DaveHPT 12 Week Challenge.

Regional Reviews: San Francisco
13 Hallucinations of Julio Rivera is Part Shocking Drama, part Wizard of Oz, Part Angels in America
Also see Richard's review of A Mother
Julio Rivera's (Rudy Guerrero) hallucinations become part Wizard of Oz, with Dorothy (Sara White) arriving on the small stage, apparently lost. Julio's best friend Alan (John Patrick Moore) finds him and runs to a telephone to call 911. While waiting, little Dorothy with the ruby red shoes comes by and tells him that the Wizard promised that if she clicked her red shoes she would be back in Kansas and she ended up in the school yard of P.S. 69. Dorothy says the Wizard is a dirty old man; in fact, everyone in Oz, including those Munchkins, always had their hands under her dress.
Julio has a lot of hallucinations that evolve Madonna, the Virgin Mary dressed liked a bag lady, Jessie Helms and Felony Joyride, an ostentatious and trashy drag queen played wonderfully by Joe Mandragona. There is a rather long and dull scene of a nerdy scientist (David Ryan Smith) who "screens" a porn flick called Schoolyard Gang-Bang that is simulated live by the three skinheads who had beaten Julio. In this "flick," Julio apparently is enjoying the sexual session. The scientist drones on and on about homosexuals to the point that one of skinheaded actors says "This is boring."
13 Hallucinations has songs that are almost Broadway style, especially at the end of the last scene when the cast sings a paean to Julio one year after his death. Julio says "God, they made a musical on my death." Some of the dialogue is stilted and the playwright attempts to use metaphors and fictitious language. He tries the language that was brilliant in Tony Kushner's Angels in America, but he does not succeed. The scene of the dual Madonnas also seems lost. The actual killing of Julio is shown several times during the 2 hour one intermission performance. One of the killing scenes becomes a tango with the three skinheads taking turns dancing with Julio.
Rudy Guerrero (Don Juan, Merry Wives of Windsor at Marin Shakespeare, lead in Pal Joey at Marin Theatre and A Question of Mercy at the Magic) is excellent as the doomed Julio. He gives a warm and appealing performance. He is particularly good when he does not realize he is dying and steps out of character to almost mess up the big first act closing number. Ian Scott McGregor as the ego-driven singer playing an activist is wonderful in this scene.
Callum Keith-King's performance as Jessie Helms goes way over the top. He becomes too much a caricature rather than a human. His performance smacks of some of the old burlesque comics who would imitate southern redneck senators. However, King is excellent as one of Julio's tricks who's a body builder. Catherine Castellanos is very good as Julio's mother and the Virgin Mary. Sara White does an about face, playing first the innocent Dorothy and then the sexy and sensual Madonna. Others members of the cast, David Ryan Smith and Joseph Estlack, give good account of themselves in various roles.
New York composer William Whitefield has written several songs for this production. The best is a camp on the big choral work in Urinetown with some inane lyrics about the death of Julio. Klahr Thorsen's choreography of the tango dance is very good and it makes the gay bashing scene almost something out of West Side Story. Director Jimmy Bohr gets the best from his actors and the scenes are smoothly presented. Sets by Jeff Rowlings are simple and efficient with chain link fences becoming an important unit in many of the scenes.
13 Hallucinations needs a lot of pruning if it is to be a successful Off Broadway play. Some of the scenes could be eliminated and it would make a smashing one act 90 minute play. The play is in repertory with Drifting Elegant and Relativity [reviewed here]. The three plays run through June 30. For a schedule, please go to www.magictheatre.org or call 415-441-8822 for more information.

Mortgage rates have managed to hold steady despite renewed optimism in the stock market spurred by better than expected corporate earnings reports and evidence the recession is nearing an end. The benchmark thirty-year, fixed-rate is right at 5.50% with no points and we are seeing more parity with other mortgage programs lately as both FHA and VA thirty-year rates are also at 5.50%. The rate on the fifteen-year, fixed-rate stands at 5.00%.
Mortgage rates have benefited from reassuring remarks from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke who on Tuesday told lawmakers at his semi-annual address before congress that he plans to keep monetary policy "extremely accommodative" for some time meaning no rate increases are likely for the foreseeable future. I do not expect to see rates rise over the next week unless the stock market gets on an exceptional run of gain. Many analysts still feel the market exuberance seen of late is still premature as investors continue to cheer less than expected losses instead of actual increases in net profits.
We had some great news on the housing front last Friday as the government reported that initial construction of homes as well as new applications for building permits surged more than economists had expected. Housing starts rose to as seasonally adjusted annual rate of 562,000 in June, up 3.6% from May. The consensus estimate was for an annual rate of 524,000. Single-family housing starts were up a whopping 14.4%. Building permits rose 8.7% in June to an annually adjusted 563,000 while economists had expected only 530,000. This was the highest number of new permits since December and the second straight month of increases since the all-time low set in April. All this is just more evidence that the battered housing market has bottomed and finally on the upswing despite a continuing rise in unemployment.Print Story

Reports are suggesting that Sinisa Mihajlovic has agreed to become Serbia's new Coach, ending chances of a quick return to Serie A management.
Sky Sport 24 indicate that the 43-year-old tactician, who has been out of work since leaving Fiorentina in early November, has now signed a deal to take over his home nation.
The Beli Orlovi have been without a full-time Coach since Vladimir Petrovic resigned late last year and their Football Association's President had announced last week that Miha was close to agreeing terms [12] on a contract.
Mihajlovic spent 14 years playing in Serie A, before spells as assistant Coach at Inter and Coach at Bologna and Catania, before Fiorentina.
Recently linked with a surprise return to the Florentine outfit and then with taking over at Palermo in the summer, the Coach is now tasked with leading the Serbians through qualification for a place at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Sprinting toward the self
I have a reoccurring dream where I'm frantically running to catch a plane to Israel. The dream is vivid and pulsing, as I try to get to the place where my relatives live – a place I've been to over thirty times, beginning with summers at my grandparents' house when I was a child.
The dreams started about three years ago, a few months after I met my Christian boyfriend (now husband) – when things were getting serious. The dreams unfolded as follows:
I'm in a car on the way to the airport and I realize that I forgot my passport at home. I make the car go back to retrieve it, and I miss the flight. And, I'm in the terminal, all checked in and on my way to the gate, where again, I realize my passport is missing. I approach a woman in the duty free shop, a clerk selling chocolates, and begin speaking to her in Hebrew, asking if my dad can fax her a copy of my passport to fax ahead to Tel Aviv. No go.
One evening, while at my parents' house in New Jersey for Sabbath dinner, I told my Rabbi brother-in-law about these dreams. I was attending the dinner without my boyfriend, not yet ready for him to meet the Fockersteins.
I told my brother-in-law that I assumed the dreams meant I was trying to get to Israel – my safe haven – the place that represents my home and sense of belonging.
He nodded in agreement , but then looked at me with a knowing twinkle in his eye, indicating there was more to it.
"Your missing passport," he said." It represents your misplaced Jewish identity."
"It does?" I asked, bristling from the implication that I'd lost my grip on my Jewishness, even though he was right. Reinforced by the fact that I was in a relationship with a non-Jew.
"Yep," he replied. "Do you know who has your passport?"
"Uh…no…" I said, my mind going through all the options. Did God have it? Was he testing me? Or, maybe my ex-husband took it! (that was back in my blaming the ex for every feeling phase).
When my husband and I got married, I noticed that the dreams stopped. And a few months later, we planned on going to Israel to celebrate the holiday of Passover with my family. It would be his first time in Israel, and my first time seeing the country from a new perspective, touring the Christian sites and the place of Jesus's birth. My parents and relatives were excited and embraced our plans with the same wide-eyed excitement that we did. My mother even Googled "Holy Land Christian tours" and forwarded me links.
We got to the airport with plenty of time to spare, passports in hand. I smiled to myself, remembering how just a few months before, I had mentioned to my brother-in-law that the dreams had finally ceased.
"Can you tell me now, who had my passport?" I implored.
"You did," he said. "You had it the whole time. You just weren't willing to take it out and use it."
It made perfect sense. My Jewish identity had been reclaimed; my faith in God and in my religious and ancestral roots restored. It made so much sense it almost felt like a cliché in retrospect. But I was glad I had put that mystery and its anxieties to rest.
Until last week, when the dream came back.
I'm running through the terminal, clutching my passport, but I can't find the gate: Gate #11. The signs are hidden; the passageways to the gate a narrow labyrinth crowded with people I have to weave around. I rush down stairs as people rush up, like at the subway. This time, my husband is with me. I keep looking back at him, lagging several yards behind me. At 6'6", he does not charge through crowds. But also, he is burdened by our belongings – carrying all of my baggage (how's that for a metaphor). So I forge ahead, calling to him, my heart beating. When I finally get to the gate, a steel fortress hidden in a dark corner of the airport, the door is closing. Almost made it, but not quite.
As I explored in my last post, my husband and I are in the process of leaving our one bedroom apartment and its associated life stage (my post-divorce refuge), and moving to a more spacious home – our home, that represents a new life stage we hope to grow (even older) in. It's no wonder that this dream has resurfaced in a slightly different form. Passport and Jewish identity are intact, but clearly I am sifting through my personal identity as it shifts from a divorcee, a phase I was in for seven years before I met my now husband, to one of a wife and mother.
I am seeking to connect with my self; my personal sense of belonging and comfort, represented by the place I grew up in called Israel. But I keep missing my connection.
But at least I'm getting closer. And hopefully, the next time I have the dream, I will finally arrive at the gate on time, with my husband beside me, and all my identities intact.
And a light carry-on for baggage.

It would be nice if dhcpd would accept the machine | name (foo) as the descriptor for the log entry, but I do not know if | this is possible. as i said above it should be possible. as a matter of fact i have never set one up that did *not* accept machine names, however, i do not bother with ddns either. maybe there is an issue there. my suggestion is to really fine comb your dns and dhcpd settings. jrf -- Jason R.

Forever Young
Have you ever wondered how to live forever? Have you ever thought of the idea how you could extend your life? Would you add an extra 20-30 or even more years to your life? Do you want to meet your grand-grand-grand daughter or son? What if I released the secret of a woman who knows the secret how to be young forever, how to extend life or how to add years to your happy life? Or would you like to extend a life of a loved one? If your answer is YES to any of these questions please read this interview below:
Ms Oikawa Shisuka, a 102 years old active Forever Living distributor explains her secret to her healthy and long life:
Incredible, fantastic and admirable! Still active at age 102 as a Forever Living distributor!
Ms Oikawa Shisuka: I feel I have a mission to do – to let everyone know that Aloe Vera gives me the vitality.
You were born in 1910 in a turbulent time, and encountered many hardships. How did you manage it?
Ms Oikawa: My persistence and fearless mindset helps.
How did you get connected to Forever Living?
Ms Oikawa: In 1996 when I was 86 years old, my daughter Kiyono Utamaro told me that taking balanced food promotes good health, and that people who drink Aloe enjoy good health. At that time, I was suffering from knee pain that made walking difficult.It was a result of carrying many things, including 30 kg cases of wine between the store and cellar daily. I was managing a food outlet at that age.
How did Forever Living products benefit you?
Ms Oikawa: Drinking Aloe Vera as part of my diet keeps me healthy. Besides being a little hard of hearing, I do not suffer from any inconvenience at all. When I tell people I am 102, people get shocked with disbelief [laughter].
What are the Forever Living products you use daily and what amounts do you use?
Ms Oikawa: Daily, I take Aloe Vera Gel 500 ml, 10 tablets of Forever Bee Pollen and 8 tablets of Bee Propolis (Propolis tablets are crushed and I would drink it with water, or added to soup). I apply Aloe Heat Lotion to my feet after performing farm work and tending to plants. Even if I forget my meals, I would not forget to take my supplements for a day.
Take Forever Living Products for a long healthy life
According to this interview with Ms Oikawa Shisuka, 102 years old Forever Living Distributor, she drinks about 15 bottle of Aloe Vera Gel, takes 3 bottles of Forever Bee Pollen and 4 bottles of Forever Bee Propolis on a monthly basis.

Cruise plays Brian Flanagan, a former soldier returning home to New York City. Brian hopes to make it big on Wall Street, only to be told by every investment firm in town not to waste his time. He has no college education, no job prospects, and no future. His part-time bartending job becomes his only option. But even becoming one of New York's top bartenders won't make him a millionaire. What might? Marrying a rich woman...His outlook on life changing, Brian heads down to Jamaica where the money is flowing. There, despite early protests against falling in love, he meets the girl who will change everything.-----!!This film provides examples of:* AdaptationDistillation: Though the movie keeps the major characters, and some of the situations, it cuts large portions of the novel out.* TheBartender: Naturally.

Buzzard Sabbath
Two months ago my wife and I began keeping a weekly Sabbath. For the last two months our work lives have shutdown at sundown on Friday. From the setting of the sun on Friday until the setting of the sun on Saturday, our family unplugs, puts work aside, and enjoys 24 hours of play, rest, laughter, and praise.
For 24 hours I don't create, write, or produce.
For 24 hours my wife abandons chores, errands, and her to-do list.
Implementing this Friday sundown shutdown is proving to be one of the most radical and rewarding decisions I've ever made. I'm now experiencing a rhythm to my life that I've never known before. I'm entering my work week with more energy and enthusiasm than before. I'm working harder and resting/playing harder than ever before. The vast value of the Sabbath, a value that I'm just beginning to explore and experience, is now slowly seeping into and refreshing my walk with God, my marriage, and my ministry.
Friday sunsets have become sweet to me–a something to look forward to. And what I look forward to most is the vivid, visceral reminder of the One who's really at work in my life–the One who's really in control. What an idiot I am to have waited until my 28th year to begin enjoying a 3,500 year old command.

DEFINITION of 'BRIC ETF'
An exchange-traded fund that invests in stocks and listed securities associated with the countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China. BRIC ETFs are designed to give holders diversified exposure to these growing countries. Assets are invested in both locally issued stocks and shares that trade on exchanges in the U.S. and Europe. The portfolio allocation among the four counties may vary from fund to fund, but all ETFs in the space should be passively invested around an underlying index.
Investing in the BRIC economies has been on the rise as increased economic globalization creates higher levels of world trade and commerce. Brazil, Russia, India and China have had strong growth in gross domestic product (GDP) over the past few decades, with recent rates much higher than those found in the United States and the Eurozone. BRIC ETFs may carry slightly higher expense ratios than funds focused on the U.S. and Europe due to the higher costs of investing directly in these foreign stock markets.

It's quite difficult to follow others' thoughts in this subject. One important thing is to make difference between the techical implementation and an end user/UI need.

I see List1 and List3 semantically identical, though they look different in UI.

A common technical implementation doesn't help at all if the frontends implement the ideas differently. For example, the frontends must not use other than plain text. They are not allowed to change the order of the bookmarks unless user wants it. It may be impossible to conclude in practice, either in technical or in UI level. At minimum we need some technical implemantion for bookmarks (I'm leaving "tags" out because I don't understand the concept well enough) AND explicit usage convention for bookmarks. The technical implementation can be used for whatever purpose, for example for storing app settings, but a SWORD Bookmark Compliant application must follow the written conventions to offer the users a user interface which allows using the bookmarks in other compliant apps. > I take very strongly the "version independent > unless asked otherwise" viewpoint. > I agree. In that case we need to take care of v11n. People want a specific passage, not whatever is in Book2:3 in some translation. --Eeli Kaikkonen

Our children have flourished at Pacific Friends School under the loving, thoughtful care of the teachers and staff. Pacific Friends School has wholeheartedly and effectively supported the learning and developmental growth of our children and we are so thankful that we found this hidden gem!

ROME (Apr. 23)
Il Regime Fascista, Cremona Fascist daily, today renewed its anti-Semitic campaign with another attack on Jews as Communists. The paper, edited by Roberto Farinacci, has been in the forefront of an anti-Jewish drive being pressed by a number of Fascist organs.
The current attack is based on a report from the Rigasche Rundschau, pro-Nazi organ of the German minority in Latvia, which stated in a recent issue that ninety percent of arrested Communists in Riga were Jews.
"Whenever there are threats of political upheavals or disorders," the Farinacci paper comments, "those who are responsible can be found in the neighborhood of the synagogue."

Because some experiences are impossible to gain in the traditional classroom setting, we offer students various internship opportunities with both local and national companies and organizations. By participating in an internship, students gain relevant career-related experiences that reinforce what they have learned in the classroom and make them more marketable after graduation. Internships are offered during the fall and spring semesters and during the summer.
Many internship opportunities are posted on Employola. Students should register with Employola right away to get an idea of what is available and where they might like to work. Sometimes a student finds an internship on his or her own. If the company is in the greater New Orleans area, the employer must register with Employola. If the internship is not local, students should contact the chair of their department. All internships must be approved in advance.
Below is a list of companies where College of Music and Fine Arts students have completed internships in recent years:
Louisiana State Theater Festival
Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra
New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival

I walked all the way to Cherrygrove City and I got a tour of the town once I arrived. I also got the Town Map feature installed in my Pokegear afterwards and the Running Shoes as I left town. I walked to Mr. Pokemon's house, got the Pokemon egg for Elm and then Elm called me saying that I had to go back to New Bark Town for something. I saved the game.

5 New York City Novels You Should Read
"New York was his town and it always would be…" I've always wanted to read that fictional novel by Isac Davis (Manhattan, Woody Allen, 1979), because you know what I can't get enough of? Talking and thinking about New York City. Now's the season (when it's not blindingly hot and muggy, that is) to go to your local library, grab a novel, park it in the park for the afternoon, and pat yourself on the back for living in one of if not THE best city in the U.S.
All of these are fairly obvious, but my intention is for this to be a total beginner's guide..at least based on books that I've actually read:
1) American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
Truth be told, I did have to put this book down at least once and decide if I had the stomach to continue reading. Long story short: definitely worth it. Probably one of the most strangely engrossing (yet repuslive!) and clever satires ever. Or at least I think it is….Ellis has GOT to be at least a little insane to write this, right?
2) Fortess of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem
Pretty fucking epic and totally essential if you ever or currently live in Brooklyn and/or enjoy the art of graffito.
3) The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
OK, so it's depressing, but I have a total boner for the Gilded Age– both its highs and dark underbelly.
4) The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon
Yes, yes, this is the book that everyone and their mother says to read, especially if you're in any way into comic books. Though it's now become a cliche novel type, when I first read it, I found it to be pretty original and thoroughly engaging from start to finish.
5) Washington Square by Henry James
Even if you're kinda bored with this dame who's caught up in her forbidden genital rubbing white girl problems, at the very least, it's pretty cool and funny to read about the areas James calls out/name checks.
* Bonus non-novel: Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain
Truly one of the fastest and most pleasurable reads for being such a gigantic monster of a book. It's such an incredibly rich collection of primary sources, it will make your head fucking spin. ESPECIALLY if you care about music or New York in any way.
Also, guys, speaking of historical non-fiction-y stuff about NYC nightlife, I've been trying to find this book that I THINK is Alice Echols' Disco and the Remaking of American Culture, but I'm not sure if that's the one I want/am thinking of. Anyone have any ideas or other recommendations?

Visual cryptography is a method for protecting image-based secrets that has a computation-free decoding process. In this paper we propose a new color visual cryptography scheme. In visual cryptography the decipher can be performed by human visual system (HVS) without any complex process, providing high security. Our proposed method suggested a way to encrypt a color image using symmetric key encryption procedure. The proposed method is applied on several images and showed good result without any distortion. The algorithm proposed by this scheme reduces a considerable time for encryption and decryption in a much easier way and ensures the lossless transmissions of images.

ALBANY — Common Council President Shawn Morris dropped out of the mayor's race today. saying a Democratic primary that pitted her against Mayor Jerry Jennings and Councilman Corey Ellis left "no path to victory."
Morris, 52, pulled out of the race as she was poised to file her petition signatures and a day after state campaign filings revealed she had finished third in fundraising among the three highest-profile candidates for the post.
Here's the full statement:
Sixteen years ago, I ran for Common Council because I loved my community, and I wanted to be sure my neighbors and I would have a strong voice in keeping it a good place to raise our families and live our lives.
Over the years I've worked hard on those issues, as a neighborhood activist, as a proponent of government change and, most importantly, as the elected representative of the citizens of Albany.
Welcoming and safe neighborhoods, good and open government. That's why I ran for Common Council and that's why I announced my candidacy for Mayor.
Today I have more than 2600 signatures on a petition to run for mayor. The signatures were collected by over 100 people who gave their time and talent to knock on doors, talking to voters about our city and what we can do to make it better. The conversations were terrific; people want to talk about Albany's potential. They have clear ideas on what they want to see changed in how we are governed. Our volunteers are committed, independent people who work hard every day to make our city better. They spent hours and hours on this effort for only one reason: they are committed to good government; they want Albany neighborhoods to have a fighting chance.
The door to door experience demonstrated once again why it is that Albany has survived so gloriously through four separate centuries: because the people who live here are smart and engaged. There is just no city like Albany for a door to door campaign, no where else where busy people are so willing to have frank conversations about government and politics with people who knock on their doors!
That's why my decision about filing petitions is so difficult. I got into this race to affect change, to make government open, transparent and available to all its citizens. I got into this race to make sure city government focused on the people who live here and on the neighborhoods in which we live.
But in recent weeks, it has become increasingly clear that, in a three way race, there is no way to achieve that. Although the most efficient way to affect change in Albany is through the Mayor's office, when the vote is divided into too many wedges, the status quo will rule. I don't want that to happen. And rather than expend so many resources in a race where there is no route to victory, I am withdrawing from this race.
Political resources are finite. Money in a tight economy, people's time and energy are all very dear. It is best to spend those resources where they can make a difference. We have the opportunity in this city to make change. There are common council and citywide seats up for grabs which can ensure a majority of independent, neighborhood focused representatives are elected. I will work hard this summer to ensure that people committed to making sure that there is financial transparency and appropriate checks and balances on the authority of the Mayor are elected to office.
I am really quite sad to have made this decision. The years I spent representing first the 7th Ward and then the entire city have been the most fulfilling of my career. I have made lifelong friendships, been challenged by great thinkers, and been welcomed into the homes and lives of wonderful people. I have worked to protect our neighborhoods, stood solidly for good government and worked with people of all ages and backgrounds who are just plain inspirational.
I am so glad that I have served, so glad that my children have grown up with the view that elective office and public service are honorable and important ventures. And I am, especially, so honored to have the support, in past races and in this one, of so many people that I admire and respect.
There is much in Albany government that needs to change. But there is so much in Albany, in its people, in its resources and in its history that needs to be treasured. I will continue to work with our neighborhoods and the people in this city to move our city forward.

On Thursday morning, the Cleveland Cavaliers made the decision to part ways with head coach Byron Scott after three seasons with the franchise.
Scott, who took over prior to the start of the 2010-11 season initially had the intentions of coaching LeBron James. That of course did not happen with James' decision to take his talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat.
Well, without James as an option, Scott struggled in attempting to get the Cavaliers out of their rut following that free agency departure. The team won a collective 64 games since Scott took over and you may have seen that statistic recently, considering James and the Heat have won more games that than during this season alone. Scott was a collective 64-166 in his three seasons in Cleveland.
The decision certainly shouldn't come as much of a surprise despite Scott technically making improvements over the course of his three seasons in town. Cleveland won 19 games in his first year, then 21 in his second before totaling 24 this past season.
It will be interesting to see where the Cavaliers go from here. Cleveland's decision comes on the heels of Doug Collins' decision to resign and step down as the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers. So the options are opening up around the NBA, just one day following the conclusion of the 2012-13 season. These two openings also come on the heels of legendary head coach Phil Jackson reportedly "itching" to return to the sidelines.

(Kitco News) - Global commodity exchange-traded products posted a second straight quarter of investment inflows during the April-June period, with the biggest gains coming from the platinum group metals, ETF Securities said Tuesday.
Overall, commodity ETP flows were helped by increasing confidence in China's economic outlook and the global economic recovery, said the firm, which provides a number of metals ETFs.
Commodity ETP inflows totaled $275 million, up from $271million of inflows in the first quarter, the report said. The combination of inflows and higher prices pushed assets under management in commodity ETPs at the end of the second quarter to $123.3 billion from $122.4 billion at the end of the first quarter.
"In the second quarter, there was a continuing interest in commodities that we saw at the beginning of the year," said Nicholas Brooks, head of research and investment strategy at ETF Securities, in an interview with Kitco News. "That marks an important turning point."
Previously, commodity ETPs collectively had posted outflows every month from January 2013 until this February, with the exception of August 2013.
"We think we are seeing a turn in investor sentiment towards commodities broadly," Brooks said. "We think that's occurring for two mains reasons. The first is investors are more comfortable with the outlook for demand with the U.S. recovery on track after some concerns earlier in the year. The second is that it's pretty clear that China is reflating and targeting stronger demand growth in the second half of the year, and that should benefit commodities."
ETF Securities releases a quarterly report using the dollar amount for assets as a common measurement, since different commodities otherwise are priced in different quantities – such as ounces for gold, metric tons for copper and barrels for oil. Precious metals ETPs are backed by metal put into storage, while others such as energy and agricultural ETPs use futures contracts.
"All key commodity sectors saw inflows during the quarter except for agriculture and livestock," Brooks said.
Precious metals saw the strongest investor demand with $430 million of inflows, followed by diversified broad commodity ETPs with $172 million, energy with $135 million and industrial base metals with $15 million. Agriculture and livestock saw $477 million of outflows.
The strongest demand for commodity ETPs in the second quarter came from platinum and palladium, with inflows of $400 million and $410 million, respectively, ETF Securities said.
"PGMs have seen very strong investor demand," Brooks said. "The first and probably most important reason is the strikes in South Africa and the implications for future supply, particularly in platinum but also in palladium."
He referred to a five-month labor action against the three biggest producers, which finally ended last month. The strike is over, but analysts also said it will take weeks for normal production to resume. Yet another supply worry was whether the Ukraine-Russia crisis would result in any disruption of shipments from Russia, the world's largest palladium producer and second-largest platinum producer behind South Africa.
"More recently, what has become the key driver of flows and performance has been the renewed focus on the demand side," Brooks said. PGMs in particular benefit from stronger consumption from key commodity consumer China, Brooks said.
The ETF Securities report also cited rising global auto demand as a supportive factor for PGMs, since auto catalysts a key source of demand for both metals.
There was a second-quarter outflow of $103 million from gold ETPs, with mixed results depending on the region, said the firm. U.S.-listed gold ETPs had $586 million of outflows, while ETPs for Europe and other countries posted inflows of $483 million.
"Most of the divergence in the gold ETP flow trends took place in April," ETF Securities said. "The most likely explanation for the divergence is that during that period, European investors were focusing on the close-to-home potential risks of a Russian invasion of the Ukraine, while U.S. investors mostly maintained their bullish view on risk assets as U.S. equities continued to hit new highs. With geopolitical risks still high and many risky asset classes trading at stretched valuations, we believe gold ETP demand will continue to improve in H2 2014 as investors look for hedges against possible risk market corrections."

Spanish artist-designer Jamie Hayon, of Hayon Studio, brings his theatricality and attention to details to Nirav Modi's flagship boutique. Located in the upmarket Defence Colony area in New Delhi, the jewelry flagship store is the first of Modi's retail boutiques in India.
The 6,000 square feet space is spread on two floors, capturing the elegance and enchanting qualities of Modi's jewelry. Throughout the space, the contrast of materials reflects a sense of highly tailored ambience, and a dynamic experience. Jamie Hayon's sense of playfulness is visible all around the boutique.
The design presents the jewelry in an installation-like atmosphere, creating a truly unique user experience. One of the features of the space is an innovative high-end lacquered table. The unique design is suspended from the ceiling, creating a focal point and an element of surprise.
Lavish white Carrara marble throughout the space contrasts against hues of vermilion red found in furniture pieces.
A mirrored stairway leads to the first floor, with its dedicated bridal salon and a workshop where artisans craft jewels as customers look on.
A continous organic shaped counter fills almost totally "The River Room", a very carefully designed space where jewels are shown and costumers enjoy the experience of trying Nirav Modi's exclusive pieces.

Reasons Why You Have To Closely Observe The Original HCG Diet MenuBy William Plower on May 9th, 2012
There's various HCG diet menus intended to make the HCG weight loss diet plan easier. This doesn't mean to say that these menus are any better than the original devised by Dr. Simeon. Many HCG dieters, however, find it very hard to adhere to the original HCG diet menu. The HCG diet food list is rather short and the calories offered are too few, exactly five-hundred calories each day. Folks who're accustomed to feeding on much more types of food and a lot more calories naturally don't like such a challenging eating routine.
Many HCG supplier websites provide modified menus dieters find a great deal simpler to stick to. These menus, though, will not be as effective as the one put together by Dr. Simeon. The original menu had gone through intensive tests which established its efficiency.
In case the use of modified HCG menus cannot be prevented you have to make sure that whatever you choose should include all elements of Dr. Simeon?s HCG diet plan. The HCG diet includes a couple of functions which are vital to the success of the program. The fiber content of the diet plan removes the harmful materials in your body, enhancing the performance of your metabolism. The protein meanwhile helps in building of muscular tissues. Both nutrients take time to break up, thus, you feel full much faster and much longer. Even more valuable than this is the Hcg diet sets off the natural properties of the HCG hormone inside your body. These properties are the ability to suppress food yearnings and the power to improve the effectiveness of the metabolic process.
An altered HCG diet menu presents hazards if it doesn't have the exact nutrients the original menu contains. It could fail to fully initialize the properties of the hormone in which case you can expect the 500 calorie diet to result in unbearable food hungers and you can be physically drained. You may also suffer from drawn out disorientation and depression which can force you to give up the program before long.
Alternatives or additions to the HCG diet food list are not strictly forbidden, however, you must be aware of the dangers. Consulting a diet expert will be beneficial, but sticking to the original HCG diet menu guarantees rapid and hassle-free fat reduction.
Writer is a health and fitness expert who can supply you with everything you would like to know about the HCG diet plan, HCG diet menu, HCG diet food list and other important details about the HCG weight loss progam.

Newsday has posted a new video interview between Jeff Hardy and several kids. The interview was done at TNA's live event in Westbury, NY earlier this month. Here are some of the highlights:
On why he's with TNA over WWE: "I was in TNA years ago, and it's just more alternative, and more different, and I'm a different kind of cat. I can be more of the enigma I want to be with the music and art and just a professional wrestler in general. The WWE kind of limits it with what you can do, and here I can express my spirit more."
On what inspired him to become a wrestler: "Back in the day when I'd see Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Sting — especially The Ultimate Warrior and Sting — with the face paint and the larger than life characters, I was obsessed with it. And then I learned more about professional wrestling and the beauty that does exist in it. It truly is an art, and I became obsessed with it and I said, 'this is what I have to do'".
On his relationship with Matt: "We have a great relationship. He is working some Ring of Honor shows and working a lot of independent shows. So he's staying busy. He's prretty much his own boss. But yeah, we still stay in touch."

Headteachers were given higher levels of discretion over homework levels in 2012, when Michael Gove scrapped the official guidelines for home study. Previously, an hour a week was recommended for 5-7 year olds, rising to 2.5 hours a night for older pupils aged between 14-16.
The weekly average amount of homework for primary children in the UK is now 4.9 hours - which may seem like nothing when you consider some students in Shang-Hai, who get 13.8 hours per week! But if the amount of homework given to your child significantly impacts their mood or your day-to-day family life, it may be that there is such a thing as too much.
In January 2015, one education expert hit the headlines when he wrote that he found a lot of homework tasks to be totally pointless. 'I have no problem with setting challenging homework,' Tom Bennett, who teaches at a school in Essex, wrote in the Times Educational supplement, 'but I do disagree with the pickpocketing of family life to serve the requirements of a school's homework timetable. 'This may seem harmless but we must never forget that time is one resource you don't get back.'
Mr Bennett used examples of real-life homework tasks, including 'design your own ideal bedroom' and 'imagine how Jesus felt on the cross and draw it' to illustrate his point that not all homework tasks are relevant or necessary.
My child has too much homework - what should I do?If you feel that your child is being given too much homework, keep a log of how much time they spent on their studies every night, and discuss your findings with other parents to see if their experiences corrolate. A recent study in Spain found that for teens, homework should take no more than 60 minutes to complete, and is actually less effective if the task takes more than 90 - so you could use this as your benchmark, taking into account that it should be less for younger children.
Continued below...
Take the information you have gathered to their teacher and explain - hopefully their response will be reasonable, but if not, it may time to take your complaint to senior staff.

Fashion & Style: Fall is right around the corner and it's the perfect time to build your denim wardrobe. After several seasons of skinny jeans and jeggings reigning supreme on the runway, flared jeans have made a comeback.
I am not just talking about your average boot-cut here, flares this fall are fierce! Look for an exaggerated bell, and here's the best news ladies, a wide leg balances out thighs and makes your silhouette long and lean. Paige's Bell Canyon jeans are perfection! Not feeling the retro vibe this autumn? Opt for the boyfriend jean in a cropped length, and preferable distressed. These look great with giant heels/booties, a feminine blousy top and fitted jacket. AG Adriano Goldschmied's Ex Boyfriend Crop Jeans are a must on my fall shopping list.
The chambray shirt is another great option. Lighter weight than denim, it's a perfect layering piece for the cooler months ahead. I love wearing mine with snug leather pants, layers of pearls and chains and booties. So edgy but feminine all at once! Elizabeth and James's pleated pocket version is super modern. Here again, make the shirt your denim focal point.

Inspired Recipe: Mango Pomegranate "Murder" Salsa
One of my favorite of Jon Ronson's interviewees in The Psychopath Test was Emmanuel "Toto" Constant. He was a delightfully charming Haitian man put in jail for real estate fraud--who was also known as one of the most evil mass murderers in Haitian history. The epitome of deceivingly sweet, but murderously spicy. That's why he inspired this mango pomegranate concoction I've nicknamed "murder" salsa.
- 1 mango
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 pomegranate
- 1 jalapeno
- 1/2 onion
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 lime
- salt
- honey (to taste)
Chop the mango and red pepper into evenly sized bits, about half an inch in size, and place in a bowl.
Slice open the pomegranate and remove the seeds from the white pith (membrane). With any luck, it'll bleed, making it the perfect ingredient for "murder" salsa. Place seeds into the bowl.
Finely dice one whole jalapeno. You can remove the seeds to reduce heat, or leave them in for added kick. Add into the bowl.
Score the open side of the onion half, using your knife to make shallow cuts vertically and horizontally. Then, slice the scored side, giving you a very fine onion dice. Add onion to taste.
Roll up a handful of cilantro and dice into a chiffonade, giving you fine ribbons of cilantro. Chop again for a finer dice. Add to your bowl.
Add the juice of one lime and a half a teaspoon of salt.
If your fruit is not quite ripe, add honey to taste.
Mix ingredients in bowl, making sure everything is well-distributed. Grab some tortilla chips and enjoy!
This recipe is great because it's completely customizable. Hate onions? Leave them out. Like it a little spicier, add another jalapeno. The nice thing about salsas, especially fresh ones like this, is that you can experiment, add, and subtract until you find a flavor balance that works for you.
It's funny, really, that a salsa inspired by murder is actually so healthy. Picking up the ingredients from your local farmers market means you'll get fresher produce and support farmers in your area. That might not be Constant's M.O. but it can be yours.
Do you have a favorite salsa recipe?
Not sure what a chiffonade is? Here, we'll teach you how to do it.
Now that you're good and hungry, read our recommendation of the book that inspired this recipe: The Psychopath Test.
