This might surprise you, but the Shadow Brilliance II palette that has really grabbed my attention is DC025 Foxy Lady, not DC026 Real Madonna. The light-to-medium neutrals look very soft, wearable, and sophisticated. If I decide to pick up more neutral shades, I might seriously consider this palette.
1. Lunasol
Overall, Lunasol's eyeshadow palettes for this year are relatively understated in terms of color and shimmer (especially when they are compared with palettes from previous series such as Geminate Eyes and Sheer Contrast Eyes). In a way, they are similar to palettes from Lunasol's early days, but it seems that shimmer will be back for spring 2010.
My holiday 2009 top ten will be posted next month.

An ad attacking Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob McKenna hit the television airwaves today, paid for by a coalition that is supporting, though independent from, his Democratic rival Jay Inslee.
The ad paid for by labor unions, trial lawyers and the Democratic Governors Association — organized as Our Washington — parallels an attack ad against Inslee being aired by the Republican Governors Association.
The new ad focuses on actions McKenna took as attorney general, trying to tie him to opposition to a minimum wage increase and saying he supported an increase in the salary for his office.
UPDATE 2:10 p.m.:
State Republican Party Chairman Kirby Wilbur issued a statement that says McKenna is "a reformer ready to take Washington in a new direction – and that is a huge problem for the groups hiding behind this PAC. Made up of organizations that benefit only if the failing status quo is maintained in Olympia, Our Washington is scared of what's to come under a Governor Rob McKenna. And it should be."

The Real Madrid centre back arrived with the Seleccao in Libreville days ago ahead of their friendly match against Gabon at the Stade Amitie on Wednesday.
Pepe and his team mates paid a visit to orphanage homes, schools and hospitals in the central African country on Tuesday and Wednesday on the initiative of the foundation of Gabon's First Lady Silva Bongo.
"This is very touching, what I'm seeing in Gabon. It's a rich experience for us all," Pepe said.
"I'm very happy to visit Africa and to play here. This country has the possibility to develop thanks to the quality of teachers and instructors working with the younger generation. I think the future of Gabon is very bright in terms of education, sports and technology from what we were able to see during our short visit," he said.
The Portuguese delegation arrived short of top players Ronaldo, Raul Meireles, Nani and Veloso, while the Panthers will also be doing without key players Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Bruno Ecuele Manga, Eric Mouloungui, Zita Mbanangoye, Remy Ebanega, Daniel Cousin, Didier Ovono, Charly Moussono and Lloyd Palun.
This is the second time Portugal will be playing a national team in Africa after the 1955 friendly against Egypt in Cairo.

I wanted to take a moment to clear up something for gamers that seems to be causing a bit of confusion. Last week at Gamescom in Germany (what a phenomenal event that was, by the way – 340,000 gamers! I'd need another post…), I spoke about the fact that EA no longer makes "offline" games.
That is a fact. But in industry headlines, on Twitter and in forums, I see some misinterpretations as to what that means exactly. So allow me to clarify.
Today, most games are "online" in some way, shape or form. Many games connect in online multiplayer modes; others include online services which allow for periodic content updates, sharing stats or achievements or connecting with friends; and others are games downloaded through digital delivery methods like Origin or the App Store. The reality is, the Internet and social connectivity touches every one of our titles today – and has for several years.
What that does NOT mean is that every game we ship will require an online connection. Many, if not most, of our games include single-player, offline modes that you can play entirely without an Internet connection, if you so choose. We know that's something many of our players want, and we will continue to deliver it.
I also see confusion about our plans for free-to-play games. Many of our most popular franchises for PCs and mobile – including Battlefield, Need for Speed, FIFA, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Plants vs. Zombies and now Madden NFL, to name a few – already offer free-to-play experiences. Command & Conquer is another exciting new free-to-play game coming online later this year. However, NOT ALL of EA's games will offer a free-to-play mode. We will continue to explore new free-to-play experiences for our franchises when we believe there is gamer interest and a cool new game we can build. But of course we will continue to deliver award-winning core gaming experiences on ALL of these franchises.
I hope this helps to clear up a few things, and I look forward to your feedback in the comments below.

Shake Your Body-Single
- CD Single
- Artist: Run's T
- Genre: International
- Release Date: 10/28/2008
RUN'S T Born in Ibadan, one of Nigeria's ancient cities, Run's T grew up in a close knit Christian family. At the early age of eight, Run's T was already a singer in a church choir group in primary school. His strong vocal power endeared him to his church's choir master and fellow worshipers alike. Through high school and university, Run's T continued with his love for music. During his brief stay at the University of Ibadan, he was inseparable from music; he formed a band with two of his friends called, "D Angels". The group engaged itself mainly by touring other University campuses, particularly in Western Nigeria. Touring with his band mates, took away a lot of his time for academics. Eventually, he realized that he could not handle the demands of academics together with his passion for music, and so, sacrificed one for the other. He decided to devote his time for music, rather than remaining at university. This decision to pursue music, his first love, led him to leave the four walls of the University of Ibadan. Run's T is liked by all; he is a born organizer that wants people to be happy... Where and whenever he meets a dull gathering, he turns it into a lively one. Definitely, he has a knack for making things happen. It is no wonder he was nicknamed original RUNS MAN by his friends and fans, meaning, "The man who makes things happen, out of nothing". Today he goes by the nickname, "RUN'S T". RUN'S T shifted into high gear after leaving the University of Ibadan. In the proceeding years, he went all out to carve a niche for himself within the Nigerian music arena. His dedication to music was to get himself a series of spots at several high profile concerts in Nigeria, including the Benson & Hedges shows and Rothmans Groove Nigeria where he was 3rd in a show studded with 36 entrants. At this point in his musical life, he became convinced that the path he had chosen was the right one. Armed with this conviction, he decided to travel abroad to widen his world view and to use it as a way to enhance his musical career. Run's T left Nigeria for Amsterdam in mid 2005. He later traveled to Canada where he met a fellow Nigerian producer who instantly spotted his natural vocal talent. This raw vocal talent was to be later fully exploited by his record label Odd Ruff Inc. in the creation of Afro Hop, Dance Hall and Lover's Rock recordings. Run's T grew up listening to Legends like Bob Marley, Beres Hammond, Sonny Okosun and Afrobeat King Fela Anikulapo Kuti who he calls his role model and describes him as phenomenal. When asked why he chose the radical Afrobeat legend as his role model, Run's- T was quick to point out that Fela 'The artist' stood for social justice and was a true freedom fighter; a man of the masses who was always fighting social ills, through his music. Run's T is touching his fans around the world with his music. He is very active musically, representing his motherland positively in North America. He is constantly finding new ways of touching people with his music as well as performing on various stages in Canada and the US. Recently, he performed alongside Majek Fashek, Tu Face, Blaco and a host of other Nigerian artistes in Toronto Canada. His upcoming album titled "Rearranged", boasts of colabos with internationals like Flexy Da Godson, and the versatile Blaco, all based in the US and Canada respectively. Run's T is quietly and constantly working hard: patiently waiting to deliver the kind of sound recordings that will put him in the class of some of the world's finest. In his words, "No price is too high to pay for success". Run's T plans to impact his musical knowledge sometime in the near future by way of a setting up a training school for young talents in Canada and Nigeria. 'Music is my life' he says and 'no slowing down' until he gets to the very top. Run's T debut album titled 'Rearranged' is scheduled to be released in Canada and Nigeria in December 2008.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Find information about Governors State University fencing, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches are more interested in players who already know about their team and college, so do your research before visiting a college campus in person. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Governors State University Fencing information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Governors State University.
Always maintain a positive attitude, especially when you're in pain, or losing a game. Be a good sport, and keep trying. Believe you'll be successful, act like you can still win the game, and then go out and make it happen. Be aggressive, and make a second try on a given play if you have time. It's one thing to make a good effort, but great players keep trying until they succeed, no matter how many years of team practice that takes.
If you get lazy, and decide to take it easy during practice, coaches will take notice. Push yourself, work hard, and you'll improve as a player. It's important to find a position that you really like to play, not just settle for what you're good at. Over the long haul, you'll have a better athletic career. Students must meet specific eligibility requirements each year to participate in Gustavus Adolphus College baseball field. Beyond consideration for Governors State University fencing, you may think about Ferris State University classrooms for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

I Trickovski (14),J Jørgensen (19)
Club Brugge vs Newcastle
Europa League Group D 6:00pm Thursday 8th November Jan Breydel Stadium (Att: 18000)
Last Updated: 08/11/12 7:49pm
The ball comes in from the Newcastle right but goes safely into the arms of Jorgacevic and the final whistle is blown.
Great cross from the free-kick by Lestienne which Jorgensen meets first time but fires his effort a fraction over the bar.
Bacca tumbles in the Newcastle box but the referee is unmoved. The ball is then out on the Bruges right as Cabaye goes in the book for a clumsy foul on Lestienne.
Corner on the right for Newcastle taken by Marveaux but his decent ball in is cleared before it ends up back in the hands of Jorgacevic.
Good cross from the left by Tavernier into the Bruges box is aimed at Ameobi but the whistle goes for a foul by the latter.
Great run into the Newcastle box by Bacca but his cross is cut out. A volley from Odjidja follows shortly after but it goes wide of the upright.
Tchite comes close again as his powerful header pulls a great save out of Krul, who tips his effort over the bar.
Hoefkens goes in the book for a foul on Sammy Ameobi and then the resultant free-kick from Cabaye hits the crossbar.
Jorgensen brings down Coloccini deep in the Newcastle half and it is another free-kick for the visitors.
Lestienne with another telling ball for Bacca to chase but Coloccini does well to get back and snuff out any danger.
Great cross from the right by Lestienne into the Newcastle box and he finds the head of Bacca. It is a little higher than ideal but he should still do better than the resultant header over.
Tiote robs Odjidja too easily on the right but his deep cross into the Bruges box is just a little too high for Shola Ameobi.
Krul makes a scrambling save from Bacca's close-range effort as the latter manages to gets his shot away in amongst a crowd of players.
It is Sammy Ameobi#s turn to get a shot on target for Newcastle but his effort is saved by Jorgacevic.
Marveaux tries an audacious curler with his left foot from just inside the Bruges area but it goes over the bar.
The lively Tchite is involved again down the right and his cross finds Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe in space on the edge of the Newcastle area but he dithers too long and his shot is then blocked.
Marveaux takes the free-kick and Shola Ameobi wins the header once more but Coloccini can't just get on the end of his knock back into the centre.
Jordi gets in a tangle on the edge of his own box and Shola Ameobi has a clear sight of goal. His shot pulls a good save out of Jorgacevic.
Corner to Newcastle on their right earned by Obertain. Another free header by Shola Ameobi, who heads just over from 15 yards.
Back-to-back corners for Bruges from the right. Lestienne takes both and the second is much better as it is met by Carl Hoefkens, who heads over.
Marveaux delivers a useful ball into the six-yard box and it is cleared. Toon have a second opportunity to cross and it is met by Shola Ameobi, who heads straight at Jorgacevic.
The teams have taken to the field and Newcastle restart. Mohammed Tchite is on for Bruges in place Trickovski.
All to play for in Belgium with 45 minutes to go and Sky Bet make both Bruges and Newcastle 7/4 for the win. The draw can be backed at 13/8 while Carlos Bacca heads the betting to be next goalscorer at 5/1.
GOAL NEWCASTLE: The visitors are level in dramatic fashion as Sammy Ameobi finds his brother Shola in space in the Bruges area and the latter toe-pokes the ball past Jorgacevic.
GOAL NEWCASTLE: Vurnon Anita gets his first goal for Toon and he will struggle to better it in his career as he volleys in from the edge of the Bruges area in fantastic style.
Good idea from Tavernier to try and realease Sammy Ameobi down the left but his ball is just too strong and goes behind for a Bruges goal-kick.
Krul fires a long ball down the left in the direction of Ameobi but it is too high and goes straight out for a Bruges throw-in.
Silly challenge on Trickovski by Tiote earns him the first yellow card of the game and he now misses the next European game.
Great turn in the box by Shola Ameobi but his angle is so tight that he can only drill the ball across the six-yard box and there are no Newcastle players in the vicinity.
Great cross from the left by Maxime Lestienne but it is just too high for the head of Bacca in the middle.
Newcastle still dominating possession and Tavernier's cross can only be flicked behind off the head of Sammy Ameobi.
Sammy Ameobi crosses well to his brother Shola and the latter heads goalward and it is tipped over by Jorgacevic for a corner.
The physical Ameobi is pulled up again on the edge of the Bruges box by the referee's whistle and it is a free-kick to the hosts.
Cross from the right by Anita but the whistle goes as Ameobi is judged to have handballed as he ties to control the cross.
Newcastle blow yet another great chance. Obertain sprints into the box and drills in a low cross as the unmarked Marveaux produces an airshot from 10 yards as he tries to fire home.
Bruges break quickly again down the left with Bacca but he tries an ambitious shot without the outside of his foot rather than crossing and Krul gathers with ease.
Foul by Trickovski as Tavernier is brought down and Newcastle have a promsing position 30 yards from the Bruges goal. It is chipped into the box by Sylvain Marveaux but cleared fairly easily again.
GOAL BRUGES: Jesper Jorgensen doubles the lead as he picks up the ball on the edge of the box after a poor header from James Tavernier and fires low and to the right of Krul into the corner of the goal.
Long ball from the right punted forward into the Bruges box by Mike Williamson and Shola Ameobi tries to make a nuisance of himself. Michael Almeback takes a wahack in the face accidently from Ameobi and the game comes to a halt.
Newcastle attempt to get straight back on terms but Sammy Ameobi's shot is blocked from inside the Bruges box before an offside whistle goals.
GOAL BRUGES: Ivan Trickovski takes a long ball over the top down well, outwits Coloccini just inside the area and dispataches his left-foot shot past Krul.
Obertain has the best chance of the game so far to open the scoring - he tries to find the far corner of the Bruges net but Bojan Jorgacevic stretches well to make the save.
Bruges able to counter after the Newcastle free-kick but the move ends up with Donk firing wide from outside of the box.
Foul on Shola Ameobi gives Newcastle a free-kick down the left in a good position but the ball into the box is easily cleared.
Bacca has another chance to threaten the Newcastle goal after Krul's weary clearance but his cross from the byline is intercepted by Fabricio Coloccini.
Krul kicks the ball into touch as Ryan Donk is laid out on the turf after a challenge. He is soon back on his feet.
Throw deep inside the Newcastle half taken by Vurnon Anita. The latter then has to do some defensive tidying up as the lively Bacca tries to wriggle between challenges and get a shot away on the edge of the Newcastle box.
First chance for the home side as Carlos Bacca find some space himslef on the edge of the Newcastle are but can only manage to shoot wide.
Space opens up for Gabriel Obertain on the edge of the area and he should do better with his shot, which he drags wide of the post.
Early throw deep in the Bruges half for Newcastle. Shola Ameobi battles for the ball but loses out to two home defenders and another Toon throw is the outcome.
We are under way in Belgium at the Jan Breydel Stadium as the hosts kick-off. Bruges doing a good impression of Inter Milan in their blue and black striped home shirts
Thanks to Emmet Griffin, who says: "I think if Newcastle win this they are pretty much through, strong-ish line up, especially with Krul on goal. Come on Newcastle United!"
The hosts are 6/4 with Sky Bet to claim victory with Toon 7/4 and the draw on offer at 12/5 for those of you fancying a punt on the outcome.

On Speaking Terms would like to ask you: What is the #1 single greatest challenge you face with public speaking?
- feeling confident
- reading the audience
- managing stage fright
- engaging people
- knowing how to make an impact
For 25 years, I've been coaching public speaking in New York City and have learned a lot about what audiences love and what they tune out. To me, presenting is a type of performance, and much more involved than "just talking." My technique asks each speaker to focus on their message, and its importance to the audience. Then we figure out the most interesting, engaging and educational ways to get that message across. Win/Win every time.
All of the above can be achieved by anyone and everyone, each in their own manner and style. For more info↣
SELF-CONFIDENCE (mindfulness)
The single biggest struggle people tell me they have when getting ready to speak in public is confidence.
Enter your name and best email HERE and you'll get immediate access to my
"I want to thank you for all that you did – honestly speaking I wouldn't have been able to do it if it weren't for you. Merci. My director here in Montreal wants to put it up on the website."
"Katie- I'm happy to report these are typical of the emails I'm getting this morning! I really credit you with getting me to the place where my nerves were an afterthought, not a major hurdle to be overcome. Thank you again so much. "
You CAN Become a Great Speaker
I have been able to help clients overcome stage fright and learn key principles of speaking in a variety of ways:
- Workshops
- Online/E-learning
- Private Coaching
- Phone Sessions for Public Speaking Therapy
About Katie
People in business are judged by how they speak. Fair or not, that's how it is.
My technique combines classical theater training in the Carnegie Mellon tradition, with best practices for business communication, rounded out with sports psychology. It's flexible, thorough and effective.

As another day of freezing San Francisco fog closes, I'm wondering if it can really be summer everywhere else in the country.

So I was heartily warmed to find these sunny pictures by photographer Penny...Read More
Getting away from it all
I was struck recently by this photo, by Petrina Tinslay. What a perfect image! That sky is just glorious. You couldn't help but relax here. It made me want a room with this combination of rosy pink, amber and deep violet. I found a few that are similar. Via Pink Wallpaper. Both via Peacock Feathers. By stylist Lucyina Moodie.

Overblown roses
The roses in our backyard are almost finished (although we sometimes get some as late as September when things warm up again in San Francisco). There's one particular rose bush that was here when we moved in and has the most extraordinary coloring.

How to do dark walls
I'm a bit of a coward when it comes to using dark colors in my home. Let's face it, splashing navy blue or chocolate brown all over your walls is not for the faint-hearted. There's always the risk that you'll deaden the room, making it seem small and gloomy. But, done right, dark walls can look incredible. They can create a cozy...Read More
Under the shade of a tree
We've been in the Hamptons for four days now and I'm starting to get used to leisurely breakfasts and warm, lazy afternoons. What a change from the usual frenetic pace of life. We've been enjoying lots of meals outside and it got me thinking about some of the most idyllic al fresco dining images I've seen. They all feature something...Read More
Pink he'll live with
I was thinking about pink recently. Why? Well, I spotted this colorscope over at Simplified Bee and decided to give it a whirl. I was drawn to the fuschia color most (which apparently makes me courageous, passionate, playful and serious (?)) Anyway, then I wondered, why don't we have more of that color in the house? Of course, it's because I...Read More
Driftwood and seaglass

Photogenic houses
If you've ever wondered where interior design magazines stage their photo shoots, you should check out some of the location agencies' web sites. I've been browsing Light Locations recently.

Tents that tempt
I am definitely not into camping. I mean, I like the idea of it – sleeping under the stars, drinking wine by the campfire (I know, the 'wine' part kind of defeats the object).

Reveal your real design style
I've been tormented recently by this game over at From the Right Bank to the Left Coast. The goal is to come up with one picture that captures your interiors style completely. Frankly, I think it's impossible unless you're one of those people that is entirely sure of their choices and knows their own style inside out. Well, that...Read More

Dancing with the Stars Judge, Samantha Harris, is PregnantMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Dancing with the Stars host Samantha Harris is pregnant.
"My publicist was getting calls about it, my family got calls about it," Harris, told People magazine, laughing. "I did not get a boob job, but I have put on a little weight because I am happy to finally say I am pregnant."
This will be the first child for Harris who is also an E! Entertainment news correspondent, and husband Michael, a financial wholesaler. The couple recently bought its first home in Los Angeles and are readying a nursery for the baby's fall arrival.
"Things are great and we heard the heart beat for the first time," Harris says of her pregnancy, which won't interfere with her hosting duties this season or next.
"I love this show so much I didn't want to miss a single second," says Harris, who is expected to make a formal announcement on tonight's live telecast of Dancing with the Stars.

I recently returned from a weekend getaway with a friend while we traveled New York to Boston by train. I enjoyed the company and the scenery. I live in West Texas and trees are not plentiful here. I really enjoy green scenery and trees when I have the opportunity to visit other parts of the country. And yet, there is mysterious lure to me about the remote ruggedness of West Texas. I have hiked in just about all the mountain ranges of West Texas, and absolutely love the experience. You may question whether Texas actually has any real mountains, and the answer is yes. Not as tall as the Rockies at 12,000 to 14,000 feet, but more in the range of 6,000 to 8,000 feet. Let me share with you my latest excursion.
I live in West Texas but seldom visit El Paso. It is 500 miles away. The Franklin Mountains are near the city, which I had never hiked, so I planned a journey to do just that. I drove for hours, and made decent time as much of the way had a speed limit of 80. I spent the night in a small town out in the middle of no where. A beautiful old, but clean and newly refurbished hotel. The next day I arrived El Paso, and hiked the Franklin Mountains. It may be right next to the city, but I felt like I was on Mars. On one trail I was tired, very thirsty, hot, not a bit of shade for miles, felt lost, and was miserable. But I loved it. I did not see one person of the trail I was on, and always love getting back to cool water and shade.
I spent the night in downtown El Paso at the Camino Real, another nice restored hotel. The next morning I took in a a few museums, all within walking distance. That afternoon I caught the Amtrak train going east to Alpine, Texas, about a four hour journey. Yes there really is a place called Alpine in Texas. A small friendly town nestled among mountains and not far from Big Bend, Texas. I just sat there looking out the window enjoying the mountains of Mexico across the Rio Grande and the Texas mountains out the window on the other side of the train. Of course the mountains are in the distance. Everything in West Texas seems to be in the distance. I think most people on the train were bored, plugged into their entertainment devices, but not me. I find the scenery mesmerizing. A little bit of Jack, a little bit of Coke, the view, and I was happy as a lark. I guess I am a very simple person. I hiked about a mile to the hotel in Alpine after departing the train. The next morning I was lying in bed when I heard a train whistle. I looked out the window expecting to see a freight train, but was a bit unsettled to see it was my Amtrak ride back to El Paso. I quickly dressed, checked out and took hostage a kind couple in the parking lot who were about to depart the hotel. Most folks in West Texas are friendly. They dropped me at the train station with a very genuine Thank You from myself. I loved the ride back to El Paso.
Next I drove to the Davis Mountains where I camped the night. Before arriving at the park I had parked the car at a roadside pic nic table. I saw three cars in three hours, listening to the gentle breeze as I looked at the mountains. they seemed to stare back at me. The following morning I scuba dived in a huge pool out in the desert of West Texas known as Balmorhea. It is spring feed, and although it is not Cozumel, I still enjoy the little fishes and the sensation of being weightless.
It was a delightful trip. No stresses, just me, myself and I. And……..the rugged beauty of West Texas. Treasure to me.

Roenick in January claimed:
"I see too many kids going the wrong way. They don't have the respect or the know-how to treat the sport even Sidney Crosby. You see him bitching, whining and crying. He's supposed to be the poster boy of our league and yet every time he gets hit, he's grimacing and complaining to the referees. Veterans teach the kids the right way to play."
For more on the Crybaby click here: "Big Crybaby"
Yesterday it was this:
I think a Sidney Crosby interview is as boring to watch as possible. As great a hockey player as he is and as much as he's taken this league by storm, I don't think he goes on a limb and says what he really feels. I think he?s too quiet, too hum-drum, too cliched. I love the kid as a hockey player, but I think he can be more spectacular if he steps up and shows a little personality.?
Anyone that knows anything about Roenick has to realize, in the dictionary under the word JAGOFF is Roenick's picture. See – Pittsburghese – JAGOFF
Roenick is finished and really, quite frankly without his "un-boring interviews" no one would know who Jeremy Roenick is. He's a Dennis Rodman who really and truly might find a role on Celebrity Apprentice someday with another plugs for hair phony, Donald Trump… but as a hockey player he really doesn't even understand the game anymore. Roenick has always been about Roenick.
First Roenick mocks him about being too vocal and now it's tooboring… you have to wonder if Oldtimer's disease is creeping in on Roenick.
The bottom line is that Crosby (like him or not) is second in scoring while playing most of the year with line mates like (Satan, Cooke and Dupuis) who admittedly are (better than Roenick) but not THAT much better than Roenick.
While Roenick thinks hockey is played behind a microphone is isn't… it's played on the ice some where the senile JAGOFF Roenick who collects paychecks he hasn't earned for half a decade doesn't see much of anymore.
Crosby has more points this year than in Roenicks last 4 years. Gosh, Pascal Dupuis has over three times as many goals as Roenick this season. Crosby's Hart, Pearson, and Ross at the age of 20 is what does his talking while JAGOFF Roenick has won nothing in his career except?his the rep.
This is the Roenick who told fans to 'kiss his butt' while he whined and moaned about making millions and he now continues to babble-on with meaningless BS… he is clearly the JAGOFF of the WEEK and my nominee for OVERHILL JAGOFF of? THE YEAR.
This is DR Hook, carry on

RUMOR: Verizon iPhone Has N92 Codename
Posted on August 11, 2010 by eli courey
John Gruber of Daring Fireball has some new information to add to the Verizon iPhone rumors. He says that the device is codenamed N92 and is already at the Engineer Validation Test stage, which is two steps below production. If this is true, it helps support the many rumors that there will be a Verizon iPhone this January.
From Daring Fireball:
I don't know anything about negotiations with Verizon, and I doubt anyone does other than the highest-level executives at both companies. But I do know that engineering-wise, the wheels are turning on N92, the CDMA variant of the iPhone 4. It's certainly not in production yet, and hasn't reached DVT status (device verification test — like Gray Powell's infamous stolen unit), but it is, a few little birdies claim, at EVT (engineering verification test). That's one step below DVT, which is one step below production. So it's right about where you'd think it would be if it were scheduled to go on sale in January. The CDMA iPhone is no longer a cold storage, keep-it-alive-just-in-case-we-need-it project.

It seems nowadays that only the lure of a new pair of trainers can encourage me out of the house for a run. Fortunately Millet Sports decided it was time I laced up again as they sent me a jazzy pair of Asics trail shoes to trial.
Within moments of opening the box, to a new pair of Asics Gel Fujitrabuco, I'm a runner again. I was down on Mitcham Common bounding over the hillocks and tufts, putting the day-glo trail shoes through their paces.
I've just about gone full circle with running shoes. I've tried some amazing extremes, like mattress sized Hoka and minimal Vibram FiveFingers but recently I've been looking back fondly at the relatively normal Asics trainers that I started out with many moons ago.
I still remember the joy of the early runs on new Gel Kayano trainers where I felt at one with my shoe. Body and sole gliding with grace.
Obviously I've lost a few brain cells since I last ran properly as I'm sure I never trogged anywhere with grace and unfortunately nothing much has changed. I huffed and puffed around the common in my usual ungainly style but who cares? I loved it.
Trail running can be so liberating and I think I will spend a bit more time in my oddly coloured pink and peach Asics trail shoes, trying to rediscover my running alter ego.

At Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska, cruise ships negotiate the scenic bay for whale- and glacier watching, without disgorging their passengers on land. But in Maine, the arrival of the cruise ship industry with their thousands of disembarking passengers is posing a threat to Acadia National Park.
"They are huge. They're about as big as one of the islands out in the bay. They dominate the setting while they're here," says David MacDonald, president of Friends of Acadia.
While the ships haven't appeared to be impacting Frenchman's Bay and its marinelife, unlike those in Glacier Bay that on rare occasions strike humpback whales, the thousands of passengers that come ashore for day trips into Acadia are threatening the park's landscape and the very experience of visiting the park by literally busing in crowds to various areas of the park.
"This year there are 130 ships scheduled to come for a visit. Most come in the fall when two-three ships per day can be in port on the busiest days, and they will have up to 4-5,000 passengers disembark," says Acadia Superintendent Sheridan Steele.
The problem with so many passengers coming ashore, said both Mr. MacDonald and Superintendent Steele, is that they often are hauled in buses to the top of Cadillac Mountain, the tallest peak (1,530 feet) in both the park and along the North Atlantic Seaboard.
"The town has limited the total number of passengers coming into port at 5,000 per day," notes the park superintendent. "When many cruise ship excursion buses show up at the same time in the same place (for instance the Cadillac summit) it can be chaos. We are working with the cruise companies to address this kind of problem."
Adds Mr. MacDonald, "The park General Management Plan is 25 years old. The cruise ship industry wasn't even on the radar screen when that was passed, so I think some updated thinking and management stratgeies for places like Cadillac, in particular, are overdue."
The issue is not lost on the town of Bar Harbor, where the chamber bureau supports "sustainable tourism," which it says is "the basic concept ... that tourism should protect the environment, preserve cultural heritage, and enable long-term, viable, and fairly distributed economic benefits for all stakeholders."
The town of Bar Habor long has studied the cruise ship issue, and has established a fee structure to help cover the costs of additional police, buses, and port development. Just the same, it's an issue that deserves monitoring and, if necessary, adaptation to protect park resources and the visitor experience.

Eckel Eckoustic Modular Panel (EMP) Systems & Enclosures are the ideal solution for reducing and isolating excessive worksite noise. They offer effective long-term solutions to industrial noise problems...providing quieter, more productive and OSHA compliant work areas.
Our pre-engineered, structurally strengthened panels combine outstanding sound control properties with tremendous versatility. Eckel EMPs provide effective noise control for any application.
Remarkable Versatility: protective walls, partial enclosures, full enclosures. Easy to install, modify or relocate.
Easy to install, modify or relocate, the EMP component system of 4" thick sound rated panels and accessories allow a degree of construction freedom not possible with conventional acoustic panel systems. With Eckel Eckoustic Modular Panels, a plant engineer, safety director, OEM manufacturer, architect, or maintenance supervisor can easily create the ideal structure necessary for any given application.
Readily adaptable to changing needs
The EMP system is truly modular. The basic elements of the system - standard panels, window panels, and door panels - are removable and interchangeable. Sliding doors can also be incorporated into an EMP structure.
EMP walls/enclosures can be expanded without loss of acoustic integrity, by the addition of extra panels. Panels can be disassembled & walls/enclosures can be easily re-erected in different locations using the component parts.
Excellent acoustical control for noisy areas
Both transmission loss and sound absorption are optimized with EMPs. Panels are constructed with a solid face on one side, a perforated absorptive face on the other, and an incombustible acoustic fill for additional sound isolation. There are no problems of long-term maintenance of the panel's outstanding acoustic performance. Dismantling and reassembling EMPs does not degrade their performance.

A fast-growing recruitment firm that specialises in the oil and gas sector is poised to pass the £10 million turnover mark after opening an office in Dubai.
Leith-based Advance Global Recruitment (AGR), which was set up in March 2011 by Stuart Hunter and Cameron Taylor, is now planning to open a United States base in Houston after winning contracts from Bibby Offshore and Transocean.
Operations director Alister Gray will move to America to launch the office.
Gray said: "The market in the US has really bounced back since the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Our US office will specialise in areas including drilling and inspection and survey work with remotely-operated vehicles (ROVs).
"We'll also be looking at the growth of the fracking industry in North America."
Closer to home, the business is also beginning to expand into the renewable energy market, including placing workers in the offshore wind sector and using ROVs.
Taylor said the firm's turnover will grow to £6m this year from £2.7m last year, putting AGR on course to smash the £10m mark next year.
AGR – which lists Shell, Total and Wood Group among its clients – has grown to employ 15 people in Leith and three in its Dubai office.
One of its latest recruits is Declan Ross, 18, who joined the firm under a training programme run by Right Track, a Glasgow-based charity that helps young people and long-term unemployed workers to find jobs.
Hunter said: "We've been very pleased with Declan's work and it's nice to be able to give something back to the community by supporting an organisation like Right Track."

Electrical problem
2003 GMC Yukon V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 42,500 miles
My electric door locks function properly, byut when I lock them with the electronic key fob, the rear hatch door (I don't have "barn door" rear access), does not lock. I have been told it is mostlikely the "activator". I am very adept with tools, but before tacking this, I'd like to know if there are any special "tricks", pitfalls, etc. Where is it and how do I access it the easiest way? Can I just buy the activator from GMC and replace it myself, or is it wiser to just burn a day and drive it to the GMC service center.
Thanks for your help.
have the same problem?

Most secret -- urgent -- officer only
The Fuehrer died yesterday at 15:30 hours. Testament of April 29th appoints you as Reich President, Reich Minister Dr. Goebbels as Reich Chancellor, Reichsleiter Bormann as Party Minister, Reich Minister Seyss-Inquart as Foreign Minister. By order of the Fuehrer, the Testament has been sent out of Berlin to you, to Field-Marshal Schoerner, and for preservation and publication. Reichsleiter Bormann intends to go to you today and to inform you of the situation. Time and form of announcement to the Press and to the troops is left to you. Confirm receipt.
Goebbels' tenure as Reich Chancellor was brief. A few hours after sending this telegram, he poisoned his six children with cyanide capsules. At 20:30 he and his wife emerged from the Fuehrerbunker into the chancellery garden where they were shot, at their own request, by an SS orderly.
At the same time, in the bunker of the New Chancellery, a miscellaneous group of women, soldiers, party officials, and hangers-on gathered in preparation for a mass escape. Nominally under the command of Martin Bormann, they planned to follow tunnels from the chancellery to the subway line, and then follow the subway line north, under the Friedrichstrasse, to the Friedrichstrasse station a few hundred yards south of the river Spree. At that point they would surface, link up with what was left of Brigadefuehrer Mohnke's battle group, and attempt to force their way across the Weidendammer Bridge. Then they would proceed north-west, through the Russian lines, and save themselves as best they could.
At 23:00 hours the mass escape began. Moving in small groups, they proceeded underground, as planned, to the Friedrichstrasse station. Here they emerged to find the ruins of Berlin in flames, and Russian shells bursting everywhere around them. The first group managed to cross the river Spree by an iron footbridge that ran parallel to the Weidendammer Bridge. The remaining groups likewise emerged at the Friedrichstrasse Station, but there became confused and disoriented. They made their way north along the Friedrichstrasse to the Weidendammer Bridge, where they found their way blocked, at the bridge's north end, by an anti-tank barrier and heavy Russian fire.
They next withdrew to the south end of the bridge, where they were soon joined by a few German tanks. Gathering about the tanks, they again pressed forward. Bormann, Artur Axmann (head of the Hitler Youth), Ludwig Stumpfegger (Hitler's surgeon), and others followed the lead tanks as far as the Ziegelstrasse. There a panzerfaust struck the lead tank. The violent explosion stunned Bormann and Stumpfegger, and wounded Axmann. All retreated to the Weidendammer Bridge.
Now it was every man for himself. Bormann, Stumpfegger, Axmann, and others followed the tracks of the surface railway to the Lehrter station. There Bormann and Stumpfegger decided to follow the Invalidienstrasse east. Axmann elected to go west, but encountered a Russian patrol and returned on the path Bormann and Stumpfegger had taken. He soon found them. Behind the bridge, where the Invalidienstrasse crosses the railroad tracks, they lay on their backs, the moonlight on their faces. Both were dead. Axmann could see no signs of an explosion, and assumed that they had been shot in the back. He continued on his way, escaping from Berlin and spending the next six months hiding out with the Hitler Youth in the Bavarian Alps, where he was eventually captured.
For a full, fascinating, lucid, and authoritative account of the fate of Messrs. Bormann, Goebbels, Hitler, and other denizens of The Bunker, consult The Last Days of Hitler by Hugh Trevor-Roper (University of Chicago Press, ISBN 0-226-81224-3). Late in 1945, British Intelligence appointed Mr. Roper to investigate the evidence surrounding the death of Hitler. His book followed in 1946 as a result of this investigation, and was updated by him over the years as new evidence emerged.
Roper left the issue of Bormann's death open in early editions of the work, because evidence of Bormann's death rested solely on the testimony of Artur Axmann. Although Axmann's testimony regarding other events was truthful so far as it could be independently verified, Roper realized that Axmann might be giving false evidence to protect Bormann from further search.
In December, 1972, during construction near the Lehrter Station (near to where Bormann's diary had been found in a discarded leather jacket in 1945, and close to the spot where Axmann said he had seen Bormann's body in the moonlight of that fatal night) two skeletons were unearthed. After extensive forensic examination, using the dental records of Bormann's dentist (Prof. Hugo Blaschke, who was also Hitler's dentist) the shorter of the two skeletons was identified as that of Martin Bormann, and West German authorities officially declared him dead. The forensic identification was validated by Dr. Reidar F. Sognnaes, a celebrated U.S. expert in such matters. (Reidar F. Sognnaes, "Dental Evidence in the Postmortem Identification of Adolf Hitler, Eva Braun and Martin Bormann", in Legal Medicine Annual, 1976.) This new evidence caused Roper to write in the 1978 edition of The Last Days of Hitler that "...in view of new evidence which has recently been found, I believe that it [the question of Bormann's death] can now be closed."
As stated in the Final Report of the Frankfurt State Prosecution office under File Index No. Js 11/61 (GStA Ffm.) in "Criminal Action against Martin Bormann on Charge of Murder", dated April 4, 1973:XI. ResultAlthough nature has placed limits on human powers of recognition (BGHZ Vol. 36, pp. 379-393-NJW 1962, 1505), it is proved with certainty that the two skeletons found on the Ulap fairgrounds in Berlin on December 7 and 8, 1972, are identical with the accused Martin Bormann and Dr. Ludwig Stumpfegger.
The accused and Dr. Ludwig Stumpfegger died in Berlin in the early hours of the morning of May 2, 1945 -- sometime between 1:30 and 2:30 A.M.
XII. Further Measures1. The search for Martin Bormann is officially terminated....
( Of course, die-hard conspiracy bugs would no doubt argue that Bormann died in Paraguay, and had his remains re-interred, surreptitiously, at the Ulap fairgrounds in Berlin, where they could later be "discovered". We doubt it, but if anyone would care to provide a succinct argument in favor of Bormann's survival past May 2, 1945, we will include it as an addition to this site. But an argument based merely on reports that Bormann was seen will not qualify. Elvis and St. Germain have been seen all over the world, too.)
Martin Bormann June 17, 1900 May 2, 1945

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio market research analysts forecast the global data center cooling solutions market to grow at a CAGR of close to 10% during the forecast period, according to their latest report.
The market study covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global data center cooling solutions market for 2017-2021. The report also lists air-based cooling technique and liquid based cooling technique as the two segments based on cooling techniques.
According to Abhishek Sharma, a lead analyst at Technavio for data center research, "Vendors are offering flexible and energy-efficient systems that are capable of cooling data centers through both free cooling and traditional cooling techniques."
Request a sample report: http://www.technavio.com/request-a-sample?report=55176
Technavio's sample reports are free of charge and contain multiple sections of the report including the market size and forecast, drivers, challenges, trends, and more.
Technavio ICT analysts highlight the following three market drivers that are contributing to the growth of the global data center cooling solutions market:
- Increased demand for data centers
- Need to reduce OPEX
- Greater use of modular or containerized data centers
Increased demand for data centers
The demand for data centers among CSPs, government agencies, and telecommunications organizations is growing because of the expanding adoption of advanced technologies, such as cloud-based services and big data analytics, for business operational needs. In terms of the market, the developed countries are witnessing higher investments in terms of data center construction, while the need for modern technological solutions is triggering the growth of data centers in developing countries.
Vendors in the cooling market are involved in designing cooling systems that operate with no moving parts to minimize noise levels. In addition, data center providers are renovating their existing facilities to operate as green data centers by reducing both power consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Increasingly, modern systems are also being equipped with components that arrest the transfer of dust particles, which increases the efficiency of cooling systems.
Need to reduce OPEX
Data center infrastructure has evolved considerably in the past few years owing to an increase in the use of modern technologies that has triggered the growth of application workloads in data centers. Cooling systems consume an estimated 40% of the power supplied to data centers. This makes a compelling case for efficient cooling solutions that can offer adequate cooling to data center environments at low costs and reduce power consumption.
Free cooling is an emerging technology that has seen considerable adoption among data centers in many regions, but this technology may not have the capacity to cool data centers in countries that have high external temperatures or moderate winters. However, the technology has paved the way for the introduction of innovative cooling solutions that can adapt to extreme climatic conditions.
Greater use of modular or containerized data centers
Containerized and modular data centers are efficient in terms of design and offer high flexibility, which includes adding modules as the business need arises. This aids in lowering CAPEX and OPEX.
"In modular systems, internal subsystems are closely integrated, which results in increased efficiency in terms of power and cooling needs. These modular data center solutions allow precise airflow management with support for up to 30 kW per rack," says Abhishek.
Since modular data centers are preassembled with standardized components, such as racks and IT infrastructure, the deployment of data center through modular model can be done within six months. Containerized facilities are available within four months, which is typically six times faster than traditional data center construction.

A good captain protects his crew. Who protects the captain?
A shuffling of cabins puts Ishmael Horatio Wang in command of the worst ship in the fleet. He learns that being captain doesn't make you infallible and that life in the captain's cabin is filled with new kinds of challenges as he tries to keep the ship moving, the crew out of trouble, and turn a profit to earn his Captain's Share.
In a ship where the officers outnumber the crew, can he keep everybody happy? Welcome to the SC Agamemnon.
©2013 Nathan Lowell (P)2016 Podium Publishing
"Maturity at its best,"
I got to admit, I was excited to get this delivered. I have so far really enjoyed this series. It's unique and has a real character driven plot.
I just wasn't so sure on this one. I mean Ismael had has troubles as usual, he's now made Captain of the worst ship in the fleet. And his usual demeanour and way of dealing with things, soon helps sort the motley crew out. But, I guess I'd have liked more person conflict, more head bashing or just something. It just seemed too easy for him.
I think that because of his maturity here, we get some real insight into his deeper worries, his marriage, his concerns for real safety of his ship. And that goes in line with things that he asks them to do and helps them with.
I won't leave spoilers, but it really is worth a listen, I think Ismael and his crew are up for lots more adventures, this whole series was more mature, with more problems, but also some very good solutions. :) Well done everyone on the Agamemnon. I look forward to more from both the author and narrator.
"Steady as she goes"
The journey continues. It is sad, in a way, that relationships come to an end. However, new ones are about to be forged and I continue to enjoy a brilliant series.
"Nathan Lowell !"
I've read or listened to everything Lowell has written and have enjoyed every instance of it. This is as good as when these stories were under podcast. Only difference Nathan did the original readings and very well at that.
Overall five stars is really not fair, there should be more Stars.
"Ishmael hits adulthood, adulthood hits back"
Now in his 30s Ishmael has to confront problems in his marriage and other problems not related to sailing a solar clipper. Overall, older Ishmael is a slightly more interesting and convincingly matured character, but the story is therefore slightly more character development and slightly less swashbuckling. I recommend the series, but would strongly suggest reading the books in order.
"riveting but objectively boring"
I really like this book I'm not sure why the subject matter at first glance seems like paint drying for a Sci-Fi novel. however I start listening to it and I can't put it down.
"more please"
I consumed one after another until there was no more. I can't wait for more books in this series.
"besy one so far..."
I have Really Enjoyed the series so far... this is my favorite. Bring on the next one...
"Sailors and Wives"
Ish got married? Oh, my!
Captain's share shows young Ishmael cleaning up another disaster ship. Meanwhile, however, he has problems at home -- a wife who doesn't really like being married to a spacer. We see a man having to make choices between his obligations as a married man and his obligations as a ship's captain -- to his crew and to the company that expects him to make money.
My favorite scene is with the lawyer and the shoe. You'll see why if you read the book. Although the shoes are foreshadowed with the shirt (no, I'll not tell you more), that scene is both funny and touching at the same time.
Yes. It is really hard to put these aside.
Captain's Share shows Ishmael successfully running a ship as captain. Again, he has a dysfunctional crew that he has to reshape into a smooth operation. Interestingly, we discover that some of the bad actors from the Tinker had a hand in creating the chaos aboard the Agamemnon. As always, Ishmael steadily solves problems using common sense, humor, and understanding of human nature.
"Great Read"
continued the excellent writing of the previous books. highly recommended to Audio Book listeners. Great works.
"I love this entire series"
This series is so great. I have read and listened to many, many times. So glad it is all on audible now.
"totaly cool"
My brothers and I have enjoyed all 5 books in series
one of the best
Love all 5 of them i hope you continue the books
"I can't believe I love a series about commercial freighters in space!"
Mr. Lowell's Coast Guard and Maritme experience really make the stories come to life. It may be that as a fellow Maine born former Coastie myself there is a unique appeal to me, but, others also seem enamored of his stories as well. I can't wait for the next book in 11 days!

Oh no, the toddler who was reported as smoking is still smoking until today and can't seem to kick his habit. His mother has given up on him and was reported as saying that she thinks he would never be able to kick this bad habit of his. It's so sad that this child unknowingly is destroying his body at a very young age. When he gets older it'll be likely that he'll also need pronexin because smoking is also bad for the skin. As for the lung ailments he's going to face – oh, let's just hope that by some miracle he'll never suffer from those.
Is anybody going to help this child before it's too late?

We meet the Mishra family in Delhi in 1978, where eight-year-old Ajay and his older brother Birju play cricket in the streets, waiting for the day when their plane tickets will arrive and they and their mother can fly across the world and join their father in America. America to the Mishras is, indeed, everything they could have imagined and more: when automatic glass doors open before them, they feel that surely they must have been mistaken for somebody important. Pressing an elevator button and the elevator closing its doors and rising, they have a feeling of power at the fact that the elevator is obeying them. Life is extraordinary until tragedy strikes, leaving one brother severely brain-damaged and the other lost and virtually orphaned in a strange land. Ajay, the family's younger son, prays to a God he envisions as Superman, longing to find his place amid the ruins of his family's new life. Heart-wrenching and darkly funny, Family Life is a universal story of a boy torn between duty and his own survival (https://www.amazon.ca/Family-Life-Novel-Akhil-Sharma-ebook/dp/B00FQUDT66/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465524496&sr=8-1&keywords=family+life).

Bird dogs and hidden traps
Jerry will never forget the day in 1985 when he saved the life of his first bird dog, a female Brittany spaniel. While pheasant hunting in the river bottoms of southern Minnesota, he heard a brief, odd, exhaling yelp and then nothing. The sight was horrific. His dog's neck was caught in the jaws of a 220 Conibear trap.
After a moment of panic and a good kick of adrenaline, he worked quickly, cursing a broken safety catch on one side, and pried the trap open. She was free but not breathing and her gums and tongue had turned blue. Jerry performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation as the final step.
Fortunately for the dog, Jerry knew about traps and CPR.
From the ages of 11 to 18 years of age, Jerry was a trapper. He used Conibear (although never as large as a 220), snare and leg hold traps, matching trap to quarry—whether fox, raccoon, mink, beaver or muskrat. As required by law, he walked his trap lines every day during the season with a wicker pack basket on his back and gained valuable knowledge about the intricate workings of many kinds and sizes of traps.
Even though Jerry and I haven't known of any dogs—either ours or dogs owned by friends and clients—killed in traps, we do know of some who were injured. But dogs do die as Doug Smith, outdoor writer for the Twin Cities-based Star Tribune, reported in a piece on January 15, 2013.
We think it behooves all hunters to become familiar with the types of traps they might encounter and how to free a trapped animal.
Snare Trap
Cut the wire (Carry a Leatherman or other tool capable of cutting wire.)
Leg-hold Trap
Step on the spring(s) and the trap will release.
Conibear, also called Body Grip Trap
Print the instructions from the website below and carry with you, along with heavy-duty zip ties as specified at the bottom of the document.
Another life-saving technique that worked for Jerry and his Brittany spaniel is CPR. In addition to resuscitating a dog from a trap, CPR can be useful in other emergency situations.
Many thanks to Chris Bye for the idea of this post.

A week to remember
Got that Friday feeling? You could do worse than wander down to Chancery Lane, home to Lewis Silkin, where we venture the champagne might be flowing freely.
The firm has had a particularly good week. Not only did its employment team secure a landmark victory for Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in the age discrimination claim filed against it by former partner Peter Bloxham (see story), but it also landed a withdrawal for its client the International Cricket Council (ICC) by controversial umpire Darrell Hair (see story).
As part of the withdrawal of his race discrimination claims, Hair has had to promise to go on a rehabilitation course. Howzat?
Head of employment Michael Burd, who led on both cases, told The Lawyer: "One gets not many weeks like this in one's career."
He then had to rush off to pop some corks.
We intend to do likewise. Happy Friday.

Linklaters' Cologne closure: the sweet smell of success?
Nothing concentrates the mind more on lockstep reform than buying in a couple of high-billing laterals.
Linklaters managing partner-elect Simon Davies told The Lawyer that his new recruits, Ralph Wollburg and Achim Kirchfeld from arch-rival Freshfields, would be joining the firm at the top of the UK lockstep (see story).
That means a £500K payrise for the Düsseldorf trailblazers, whose arrival has pushed Linklaters into overhauling its equity ladder, on which German partners were treated like poorer cousins, earning almost a third less than their London counterparts.
It has also pushed a bunch of their would-be partners out the window as the firm closed its Cologne office in favour of setting up shop in the hometown of Wollburg and Kirchfeld.
Those partners, Linklaters maintains, are leaving due to "strategic differences".
Strategically different? We think that translates as: "The remaining Cologne partners were not seduced into moving house and home 40 miles up the road and abandoning their heritage to conform to Linklaters' corporate ideal."

No discrimination recriminations for Freshfields
Can you hear that noise? It's the sound of time marching on.
Former insolvency partner Peter Bloxham now has plenty of time on his hands to contemplate his failed claim against Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, the first major claim in the UK since new age discrimination laws were introduced in October 2006, and the first claim against Freshfields by one of its partners in its 250-year history.
The claim took a long time to hear and even longer to receive a judgment, but today the London Central Employment Tribunal unanimously found in favour of Freshfields (see story).
This is a major boon to the firm as it faces a similar claim by Bloxham's former colleague and fellow retiree Lois Moore.
Interestingly, the firm has been found guilty of discrimination, but the discrimination was justified because it was proved to be a proportionate means of achieving its ultimate aim, which was reforming its pension system. Do you follow that?
We'll simplify matters: Freshfields has been found guilty, but it's OK 'cos there were wider issues at stake.

In-house party
Labour Day, 1 May, is International Workers' Day. 8 March is International Women's Day. More relevantly, 5 April, is International Lawyer's Day.
But today, The Lawyer is christening International In-house Lawyer's Day. No, it doesn't exist already – we just googled it. We hereby claim copyright etc and soforth.
The in-house appointments have been streaming through. Nick Deeming, fresh from launching the Linde Legal Model, has re-emerged at the world's favourite auctioneers Christie's.
Barclays general counsel Mark Harding has pulled off a bit of a coup by scooping Goldman Sachs' investment banking general counsel Michael Crowl as the new GC of its asset management division.
And in the US, the world's largest supplier of innovative flash memory data storage products SanDisk (they sponsor Ducati motorbikes) has recruited Silicon Valley hotshot Jim Belsford.

Freshfields decides to switch banks
It's strange how history is circular.
As we report today, Freshfields is on the back foot over its dual role for the Bank of England and for troubled lender Northern Rock. If you have not received your copy of The Lawyer due to the postal strike, you really should read the story here.
Thank goodness for the internet.
It's not the first time that the magic circle firm's relationship with the Bank of England has exposed it to conflict allegations.
In July 1991 Freshfields was trying to wriggle round its role advising the provisional liquidators of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) at the same time as maintaining its 250-year relationship with the Bank of England.
Hilariously, the firm asserted that there was no conflict. (Sounds familiar?)
Not so hilariously, it lost the insolvency work to Lovells. And it's just as well: the Bank of England, advised by Freshfields, was eventually sued by the liquidators.
But there was a happy ending for the magic circle firm; the three years of court action netted it fees approaching GBP75m.
Strange, then, that in the Northern Rock case, Freshfields has distanced itself from the client it has advised since 1743. Keeping faith with your oldest clients can sometimes pay off. Literally.

A ceasefire agreement has been stated by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, that if both captured Israeli soldiers and all of Hezbollah forces are controlled with Lebanese military in control of the south all attacks will cease. Israel is still trying to subdue the fighting from attacks from the Hezbollah, and has all intentions to continue until the Hezbollah are abolished. As of now the rocket attacks on Israel have now ceased, and deployment of Lebanese forces is staged across the southern border in action of a ceasefire agreement.
JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Monday the fighting in Lebanon would end when the two Israeli soldiers captured by Hezbollah guerrillas were freed, rocket attacks on
Israel were stopped, and the Lebanese army was deployed along the border.
"We are not looking for war or direct conflict, but if necessary we will not be frightened by it," Olmert said.
"We will struggle for the conditions set by the international community," Olmert told the Israeli parliament.
"Return of the hostages ... a full ceasefire, deployment of the Lebanese army in all southern Lebanon and the disarming of Hizbollah."
Delivering an impassioned speech to parliament after six days of fighting with Lebanon, Olmert said Israel would have no mercy on militants who attack its cities with rockets, and he pledged to destroy terrorist infrastructure.
"We shall seek out every installation, hit every terrorist helping to attack Israeli citizens, destroy all the terrorist infrastructure, in every place. We shall continue this until Hezbollah does the basic and fair things required of it by every civilized person," he said in his first major address since the fighting in Lebanon began last week.
Please visit the link provided for the complete story.
Israel seems here to be willing to comply with the U.N. on a no violence statement. Still the U.N. has not replied to the recent statement by the Prime Minister, as of now Israel is looking at having international help in the attacks on their country, and still in Lebanon has had many civilians die from Israeli attacks. The ceasefire agreement would be excellent for both of the countries and the preservation of life. The question is now, will Hezbollah forces be able to be subdued?
Israel will not allow any militants to fire rockets on their country and neither will allow them to go on without being punished. For now Lebanon has reacted with forces being deployed to the border. As of 200 Lebanese civilians and military men are dead and 24 Israelis also dead, there seems to be a pause in the current conflict. Over the six day conflict now there is light of hope for both of the countries and the world can be at ease for now.

In St. Petersburg Russia, U.N.

The facts are stated that nothing will end with just Israel and Lebanon fighting it out. There has to be an outside force to help with Israel against the Hezbollah. The leaders of the U.N. feel also this will be the best call to the conflict yet.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia - British Prime Minister
Tony Blair and U.N. Secretary-General
Kofi Annan called Monday for the deployment of international forces to stop the bombardment of Israel.
"The blunt reality is that this violence is not going to stop unless we create the conditions for the cessation of violence," Blair said after talks with Annan on the margins of the Group of Eight summit. "The only way is if we have a deployment of international forces that can stop bombardment coming into Israel."
Annan appealed to Israel to abide by international law, spare civilian lives and infrastructure.
He also said that the United Nations was considering evacuation plans for U.N. dependents from Lebanon, while Blair said Britain was looking at the possibility of creating an air bridge for its citizens.
Please visit the link provided for the complete story.
The mobilization of troops has not begun as of yet, but the call for help on Israel's behalf is now stated. The current situation in the Middle East is holding a significant imbalance on the rest of the world. It is the U.N. to mandate these laws and help sustain peace while also protecting those which stand with the U.N. and defending civilians and infrastructure. The majority and main view of the U.N. is to condemn violence, and as of here there will to do so is tried. With the U.N. also dealing with the current North Korean problems, there mandate is to deal with the current conflict of the Lebanese and Israeli governments for the sake of human life.
Original source wikipedia:
Hezbollah or Hizbollah/Hizbullah[1] (Arabic حزب الله, meaning Party of God) is a governmental and militant Lebanese Islamist group, with a military arm and a civilian arm, founded in 1982 to fight the Israeli Defense Forces who occupied southern Lebanon until the year 2000.[2] Its leader is Hassan Nasrallah.
Hezbollah was "inspired by the success of the Iranian Revolution"[3] and was formed primarily to wage war (both defensive and offensive) against Israel.[4] Hezbollah's political platform has consistently called for the destruction of Israel.[5] The United States and Israel say that Hezbollah has received financial and political assistance, as well as weapons and training, from Iran and Syria.[6] Syria says it supports Hezbollah, but denies supplying it with weapons.[7] Along with the Amal movement, Hezbollah is the main political party and militant organization representing the Shia community, Lebanon's largest religious bloc[8]. Founded with the aid of Iran and funded by it[7], Hezbollah follows the distinctly Shiite Islamist ideology developed by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran[citation needed].
BBC - July 17, 2006
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says the attacks on Lebanon will be kept up until two captured soldiers are freed.

Most impressive stat: 41.7% – This is shooting percentage from the field the Patriots are allowing so far this year. Was better before the Northern Iowa game but still good for 42nd in the nation.
Worst stat: 46.0% – Per Kenpom, this is Mason's team assist percentage, which is number of total assists divided by field goals made. This is ranked currently #304 in the nation and should surprise no one with how bad the point guard situation has been recently. On the other end of this, Mason opponents this season have averaged 61.2% against them in the same category. The current national average for this stat is 53.7% and I think this statistic shows just how choppy Mason 's offense has been this year.
Biggest Problem Area. Mason has a few different problem areas but the play from the point guard position has been the most glaring weakness. Granted, a lot of the younger plays on this team aren't making Bryon Allen and Corey Edwards look good by mishandling numerous passes. And turnovers has been less of an issue this season but the issue this year seems to be getting the offense running smoothly. The assist percentage stat I posted above shows how just how little these guards are setting up plays. This has become a real problem in close games for Mason this season and it's no more obvious then when they have to make a basket out of timeout. Allen and Edwards need to make better decisions and in some situations take more chances.
Rest of the season outlook. George Mason to date has blown all their chances for "good wins" and an at-large spot is out of the question at this point. The good news is that they seem to be still playing the best basketball out of anyone else in the CAA. Some of the roster issues will sort itself out and the younger guys will continue to grow, making this team more dangerous. Also at some point, Hewitt seems to think the team will buy into his offense, if that happens they shouldn't have any problems in the conference. They will enter CAA play much more battle tested then the rest but their constant playing down to their competition could still be an issue. Drexel and Delaware seemed primed to battle Mason for first place in the conference, until actual games were played. The losses keep piling up for both those teams and squads like William and Mary are looking like they will be much tougher competition. Mason could not improve a bit on the season and still probably land the #1 seed in the CAA tournament. Finishing with a good conference record won't be the issue but like always, winning the conference tournament will be. George Mason is the only program in this year's CAA tournament that has won the autobid in the last five years with VCU gone and ODU not eligible. Plenty of other schools will be licking their chops at a chance to earn their first one ever and it could be a more competitive tournament than people think.

Seems like every time we go on vacation we have the "maybe we should stay a few more days" talk. But in the end we have decided to head back home. The boys miss the dogs and the comforts of home. I am going to miss relaxing in the hot tub while they swim every evening. But I am tired. And I have amusement park overload. Tuesday while at Universal Blake and Andy decided to ride The Hulk. A huge roller coaster that did no less than 5 loops. Not to be out-done by an 8 year old, me and my mother-in-law decided to go on it too. Big mistake. The coaster itself was scary and fun but it was the after effects that did me in. I really felt like I could puke for two days. Blake and Andy were of course fine.
Today we head back home, Andy has some kind of flu so it should make for an interesting trip.
