Colombini, Aldo - Aldo on Trost Vol. 8 DVD
All the routines are performed with a regular deck of cards.
FOUR TIMES NINE: Using only the spot cards, a spectator selects four pairs and they are laid on four selected cards. These cards are seen to be the Nines. Each pair totals 9!
DUCK OR DEAL BLACKJACK: A spectator shuffles eight cards and then separates them in four pairs. At all time the cards are in the spectator's hands. He has formed four blackjack hands: Each pair consists of a Jack and an Ace!
FOLLOWING SUIT: One card of each suit is placed on the table for 'targets.' A spectator freely selects cards from small groups and places the on the 'targets'. When finished, it is shown that the suits all match the target cards!
THE 20/20 PREDICTION: Using only 16 cards you produce a series of fantastic coincidences, where the number 20 is predominant!
NUMEROLOGY IN COLOR: A spectator picks a card and it matches your prediction (say these are the two black Jacks). All the other cards are red!
THE INSURANCE CARD I: You place an envelope marked "insurance" on the table. A spectator shuffles the deck and deals four cards to start a poker hand. The missing card to make a straight flush is the 8D. The card in the envelope is the 8D!
FIVE IN A ROW: You place the AC through 5C on the table and magically the cards reverse their order!
PSYCHIC COINCIDENCE: Two spectators each select three cards from the deck. Three cards appear face up in the deck. When the spectators turn the cards over, they match the reversed cards!
AMBITIOUS ACE TO FIVE: You show five cards, the AC to 5C. Each card rises to the top of the packet and finally the 5C changes into the 5D!
THE ROYAL PAIR PUZZLER: A spectator shuffles the deck and deals the cards turning two cards face up at the same time. In so doing, a 'royal pair' is made!
Running Time Approximately: 38mins

FRIDAY, May 20, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- One graduation ceremony may include thousands of handshakes, but new research shows this casual contact is not likely to increase your risk of exposure to harmful bacteria.
Maryland students who shook a total of 5,209 hands while graduating from schools across the state in 2008 had only a slight risk of acquiring disease-causing bacteria, according to research from scientists at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The study examined the risk of acquiring pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) through shaking hands at graduation ceremonies ranging from elementary school to college. Researchers swabbed participants' hands before and immediately following graduation to identify any disease-causing (pathogenic) bacteria. They detected only three instances of Staphylococcus aureus out of the thousands of handshakes -- a rate of 0.019 pathogens per handshake -- and found that 93 percent of the bacteria were harmless.
The study is in the June issue of the Journal of School Nursing.
"A single handshake offers only a small risk of acquiring harmful bacteria," said Dr. David Bishai, a professor with the Bloomberg School's department of population, family and reproductive health in a university news release. "Our study indicates when shaking hands, the rate of hand contamination among graduating students to be 100 times lower than the 17 percent rate observed among health workers caring for patients known to be colonized with MRSA."
Reasons for the lower rate of contamination at graduations include the "much briefer and less-extensive contact in a handshake" than contact with hospital patients, according to Bishai.
"Based on the evidence from this study, the probability of acquiring bacterial pathogens during handshaking could be lower than is commonly perceived by the general public," concluded Bishai. "With a lower bound estimate of one bacterial pathogen acquired in 5,209 handshakes, the study offers the politicians, preachers, principals, deans and even amateur hand shakers some reassurance that shaking hands with strangers is not as defiling as some might think."

Inside the campaign: The Romney rebellion
For months, Ann Romney and her eldest son, Tagg, were dutifully supportive of the political professionals running Mitt Romney's campaign. All the while, their private frustration was mounting.
Shortly before the first debate, it finally boiled over.
Story Continued Below
What followed was a family intervention. The candidate's family prevailed on Mitt Romney, and the campaign operation, to shake things up dramatically, according to campaign insiders. The family pushed for a new message, putting an emphasis on a softer and more moderate image for the GOP nominee — a "let Mitt be Mitt" approach they believed more accurately reflected the looser, generous and more approachable man they knew.
( See also: Where the polls stand)
Chief strategist Stuart Stevens — whom the family held responsible for allowing Romney's personal side to be obscured by an anti-Obama economic message — has seen his once wide-ranging portfolio "fenced in" to mainly the debates, and the television advertising that is his primary expertise, according to campaign officials. Tagg Romney, channeling his mother's wishes, is taking a much more active role in how the campaign is run.
The family rebellion, long building despite Mitt Romney's initial reluctance to change, reached a climax in September, amid mounting evidence that the status quo was doomed to failure. The course correction came after internal polls showed him losing nearly every swing state and a loud chorus of second-guessing among prominent conservatives.
( PHOTOS: 12 hits on Mitt from the right)
At about the same time, top officials came to realize that they had become prisoners of the 24-hour news cycle, "preventing Mitt from painting a bigger picture of his presidency," a Romney adviser said.
One result was Monday's foreign policy speech at Virginia Military Institute. Aides are now considering following it up with a speech on jobs and the economy, and then one on debt and spending. Another one on energy has also been discussed. The economic speech is designed as a high-profile pushback to the Obama campaign's attacks. One adviser, invoking the famous Bob Dole quote from 1988, said the gist will be: "Stop lying about my record."'
Stevens, according to several Romney officials, objected to the national security speech, arguing, as paraphrased by one colleague: "We're not going to win on foreign policy — we're going to win on the economy." He lost the internal fight.
( Also on POLITICO: Romney: Obama has made U.S. less safe)
This story is based on campaign sources with direct knowledge of the events. The sources insisted on anonymity in order to discuss internal disputes and operations.
When the history of this campaign is written, the family intervention will be among the most important turning points in the Romney saga. Until the weeks before the first presidential debate, the candidate sided with Stevens over his family's skepticism, accepting the strategist's view that the best way to win was to point out President Barack Obama's flaws and articulate generic promises to do better.

This is a guest post by Marlowe C. Embree. Marlowe teaches psychology at the University of Wisconsin Colleges and published the 7-part series The Social Psychology of the Origins Debate last fall. He is currently conducting some original research on whether personality differences affect a person's conclusions regarding creation and evolution, and how likely they are to change their views. This post is the last in a 3-part series where Marlowe shares some of the findings of his research.
In my previous two posts, I presented information about student views of origins and their relationship to personality type differences. In this last post, I will address some concerns related to the nature and source of knowledge.
A) Epistemology and Metaphysics
Philosophers use the terms "epistemology" and "metaphysics" (or "ontology") to make the distinction I have in mind. Epistemology is the study of how truth can be known, what its sources and justification (or warrant) might be, and how we distinguish truth from opinion. The underlying conclusions about what is true is the domain of metaphysics or ontology. Different persons have different ideas about what is ultimately or noncontingently real, for instance: materialists believe that only matter is real (and thus presumably, in some sense or another, eternal), while theists believe that matter exists only because of the logically prior existence of God.
B) Relationship between how students process data and what they believe
For students, the data from this survey show that links between epistemology and metaphysics were modest at best. Correlations between items of the two different types were no higher than 0.2. Though it would seem logical to presume that epistemological views of such items as the existence of extrascientific sources of truth, the religious neutrality of the scientific method, the capacity for human certainty, and the like would be correlated with worldview stances like CR, TE, and SE, this did not largely prove to be the case. Nor did personality type differences correlate significantly with epistemological items on the attitude survey.
It appears that, for most students, their conclusions about reality are not grounded in a well thought out theory of knowledge. What students believe about God, about evolution, and about the relationship between science and religion does not appear, for the most part, to be a product of independent thinking. A few remarks about this observation follow.
First, this conclusion seems true for all worldview groups. The stereotype that only certain individuals (those whose conclusions one disputes!) are subject to this problem appears well refuted. Students across the worldview spectrum appeared equally subject to this kind of epistemological disconnect.
Second, the conclusion refers only to students in my research sample and cannot meaningfully be generalized beyond the sample. Since my students are at a freshman-sophomore level, the problem is likely a cognitive-developmental one. Researchers into the development of student epistemology (e.g., Belenky et al.) suggest a five-stage model of the development of independent thinking; many of my students have confirmed to me, in informal discussions, that they perceive themselves to be at an early stage of this developmental model. This isn't a criticism of them; it's natural for students who are just making the transition from high school to college to be at this point.
C) Conclusions and Next Steps
Overall, this study provides modest support for the notion that personality differences significantly mediate student beliefs about the origins debate and I believe further research is warranted. In future work, I hope to explore in more depth relationships among neurology, micro- and macrocultural differences, cognitive styles, personality, and views of origins.
Future studies might examine longitudinal impacts of higher education on changing attitudes about origins as mediated by type differences. There is some indication that there are discipline-specific impacts (for instance, students of biology may end up with different views than students of psychology), though rigorous empirical examination of this question in the light of type theory has not yet been completed. Self-selection biases represent an obvious confound, since students cannot be randomly assigned to different courses and since type likely plays a major role in determining student course selection. A content analysis of qualitative information, based on student narratives about their changing (or constant) views about origins throughout their college career, could prove quite interesting.
Given the ethics governing my research, I can't directly ask interested readers to help me collect more data at this time, but would value opportunities to dialogue about this as a future possibility. You can also review a summary of my research on my college website.

Evolution and Creation: The disconnect between how students process data and what they believe
This is a guest post by Marlowe C. Embree. Marlowe teaches psychology at the University of Wisconsin Colleges and published the 7-part series The Social Psychology of the Origins Debate last fall.

Your conclusion is ---
"the data from this survey show that links between epistemology and metaphysics were modest at best. Correlations between items of the two different types were no higher than 0.2."
This is not my field of study – and maybe if it were this conclusion would be obvious from your various tables. Can you provide some specific examples of this for those of us that can't make the connections?

For instance, the item, "There are valid sources of knowledge that have nothing to do with science" is an epistemological item in that it addresses the question of where truth comes from rather than what that truth might be. This item correlated +0.173 with Feeling, which given my sample size is statistically significant (Fs are more likely than Ts overall to endorse the item). No other MBTI dimension correlated significantly with the item.
Actually, I slightly overstated my conclusion in the main post since this item correlated +0.355 with the metaphysical item, "I believe in the existence of a personal God to whom one may pray and reasonably expect an answer". Thus, to some extent, those who believe in extrascientific knowledge are looking to religious faith as the source of that knowledge (not unexpectedly). Still, this is a rather modest correlation. Most such correlations (between "epistemological" and "metaphysical" items as illustrated above) were markedly lower.
Does that help?
I didn't provide a full data table for this because it is cumbersome.

Hi Marlowe,
I found this conclusion in your summary table rather surprising:
Belief (as opposed to disbelief) in God is more linked to personality variables, but disbelief (as opposed to belief) in evolution is more linked to personality variables.
Has anything like that ever come up in the literature before? I can see this conclusion being used (and probably abused) in several different ways. I'm not really sure what to make of it.
- 21 December 2009 at 07:51
- Marlowe C. Embree, Ph.D. said...
There are perhaps a few scattered hints of this sort of thing in the literature, but not many. So perhaps it is an artifact. Certainly it would be an abuse of this finding to assert that faith is a product of personality type. "Linked" means what it says -- a correlation, which does not say anything about the direction of causality.
This finding deserves a follow-up, but was hardly the main finding of my work. In fact, I might further mitigate this wording were I to re-write this material now.

While Dr. Embree is cautious to state that this finding relates only to his sample and that it cannot be generalized to the public at large, it tends to support every bit of anecdotal evidence that I have encountered. Most fundamentalist evangelicals that I know view the world from within the fundamentalist perspective and what does not accord with that view has to be disposed of intellectually and emotionally. They make the claim that groups like the ICR and AIG have demonstrated, using "science" that their view of the universe is correct, but when you blow the "science" out of the sky, their world view doesn't change. I have had a running argument with a particular reader, who, over the course of ten or so posts, has always said the same thing: "there are no transitional fossils." Despite the fact that I and other readers have provided him with many links to the evidence and asked him to explain why he does not accept the evidence, he has declined to do so. My guess is that he cannot, he just simply doesn't "believe" it.

Jim, if your YEC friend subscribes to AiG's ministry, just remind him that "there are no transitional fossils" is listed on their website as an "argument that creationists should not use".

I do find the modest correlation believable, however I do not find it very enlightening—at least so far. It seems to me that social/cultural factors (such as what faith tradition your are brought up in) are at least as important as personality types. It seems there are too many factors that are not controlled for.
The study is of college students, presumably between about 18 and 23, presumably only in North America. What college they are attending? What is their major? Their cultural and religious background.
Perhaps the personality type indicates a willingness to accept authority vs. independent thinking, not a predilection towards creationism or not.
OTOH your study may explain my own journey. As an INTP I am predisposed to Secular Evolution by your data. I was saved in a YEC church and accepted it as my working hypothesis. Eventually however, the weight of the evidence pushed me to explore further and eventually embrace the TE position.
- 21 December 2009 at 13:53
- Marlowe C. Embree, Ph.D. said...
While one would expect type-based differences in the willingness to accept authority (perhaps SJ vs. NP would be one possible polarity), I think more in terms of a tendency to view the world in personal/teleological (F) or impersonal/mechanistic (T) terms.
These are - again - only propensities. I am not, repeating not, claiming in any way that personality type determines worldview. It does, however, likely influence it, indirectly, by way of processes alluded to earlier. Obviously it cannot have a more direct effect. Type shapes the kinds of inputs one takes seriously and how one characteristically evaluates those inputs.
And, yes, future studies will seek to disentangle the "effect size" question by examining the relative influence of age, regionalism, prior religious commitment, and a host of other variables, vis-a-vis personality differences, but that wasn't my goal here.
If a person sets out to do X, he can't be faulted (though I recognize the presence of a very friendly criticism here) for not also doing Y, Z, W, and so on - one step at a time!
Note the preponderance of Ns over Ss among respondents here that have revealed a type. Very characteristic.
- 21 December 2009 at 16:19

I think that Kent is on to something. I have often thought that belief/non-belief in God is more based on socio-cultural constructs than on any scientific teaching that a person gets. Since I was saved in a church in Japan that was represented by a wide range of beliefs with regard to the age of the earth, I had no push to accept a YEC view of creation until I came to the United States at the age of 18 and found a church here. When I began to study science, incorporating an evolutionary old earth into my worldview was a piece of cake. Having spoken to several of my friends that came out of the same Christian foreigner community in Tokyo that I did, I find that we all have pretty much the same perspective on origins and are all TEs (or ECs if you like).

-Pilgrim Films & Television Producing Series That Teaches Urban Survival Skills For Everyday Life-
(Silver Spring, Md.) -- Discovery Channel's all-new six-part series WORST CASE SCENARIO has begun filming. The original series, based on the bestselling series of books with the same name, premieres this spring on Discovery Channel. On the show, survival expert and MAN VS. WILD host Bear Grylls portrays potentially life-threatening situations to demonstrate how to survive in a worst case scenario. Filmed like a feature film, Grylls pushes his physical boundaries � part stuntman, part urban survivalist � to exhibit scenarios that viewers could find themselves in and equip them with potentially life-saving information.
In each episode, Grylls shows viewers that the right knowledge and skills can help anyone succeed in urban survival situations that could arise without warning, from escaping a high-rise apartment fire to fending off a shark attack to escaping out of a sinking car. The various situations featured on WORST CASE SCENARIO have been produced to model those in the book series. Other dire situations featured throughout the series include escaping from a frozen lake and surviving a multi-story elevator plunge or a fall down a flight of stairs.
"WORST CASE SCENARIO is a much different take on survival than MAN VS. WILD," said Clark Bunting, president and general manager of Discovery Channel and president of Science Channel. "It features Bear in all his physicality using an urban backdrop to set up everyday scenarios viewers could encounter at any time."
WORST CASE SCENARIO is produced for Discovery Channel by Pilgrim Films & Television. Craig Piligian and Eddie Barbini are executive producers for Pilgrim Films & Television and Josh Berkley is executive producer for Discovery Channel.
The series is produced in partnership with Quirk Productions and the Worst Case Scenario � series of popular survival guides, which were published by Chronicle Books and have sold more than 9 million units. The brand, created by series consultant David Borgenicht, has resulted in more than two dozen editions, board games, video games, mobile games, and five New York Times bestsellers. The newest book in the series � "The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Man Skills" � will be released in June 2010.

Photo Essay: A Mother's Love Behind Bars
In the mid-1990s, I first heard about a new program at Washington Corrections Center for Women that would allow pregnant women incarcerated for nonviolent crimes to maintain custody of their infants while serving short prison sentences.
I was intrigued, never having given much thought to women convicts, let alone pregnant ones. Healthy maternal-infant attachment could be promoted during this critical time in a protective, supportive, and safe environment.
The program began in 1999, and in 2003 I asked if I could do a portrait photography project about the prison nursery. Even with my professional background as a nurse-midwife and expertise in child sexual abuse evaluations, I was surprised that administrators and mothers welcomed me. Prison is a closed, off-limits, censored, and locked-up environment. Prisoners are unseen, disenfranchised, and voiceless.
When I began this work, I expected to find the unit crawling with researchers interested in promoting maternal-infant health in such a vulnerable population and was aghast at the paucity of available information.
There is a great need to focus more attention and resources to maternal-infant health issues among this growing population. We midwives like to say that we change the world one baby at a time. There is a powerful ripple effect when sending formerly incarcerated mothers back into the world after participating in a prison nursery program: healthier moms raising securely attached babies, who have the foundation to grow into healthy adults.
Note: Quotations are not attributed in order to protect the identities of incarcerated mothers.
"Being in the Residential Parenting Program has just given me a second chance, you know? I didn't really have a place to send my baby to."
"I was blessed to be able to keep my baby here and it just shows me that I have a second chance."
"Nobody I knew was with me when I gave birth. Nobody. But, gosh, the one [prison corrections] officer was so great. I was leaning over the officer. I was slobbering, crying, and she didn't care about her uniform. I wish I could think of her name so I could thank her. But the officer, she was awesome. She'd say, 'You can do it!' and she was breathing with me through my contractions."
"I've learned a lot at Early Head Start. I meet with the Early Head Start people every other week right now. They help me with anything I want to know … SIDS, giving birth … I just got three certificates yesterday doing hands-on with eyes, hearing, smells, how babies work and how they are different. It is amazing because I would have never thought that when a newborn comes out, that they have all that going on already. I'm excited to try all these new things with my baby."
"My mom gave me meth when I was 11. We were camping and I caught her sniffing it. I'm like, 'What is that?!' She says, 'It's crank. Want some?' And she gave me some."
"Everybody is like, 'You're such a different person than when you came in.' I'm more mature. I have to be. I'm a mom now. It's not about me anymore."
"My mother had a crush on the guy that raped me so she was angry at me. She called me a slut. You're only the second person that I've told."
"We are all broken. A part of us is broken, no matter how good or bad our lives have been, we all have some point where we all can meet."
"I'm still in that whole learning about myself process. I'm willing to grow now. I've changed a lot since I've been here. I've grown."

Housecleaning may not be the most enjoyable activity in your day, but a few minutes killing germs can go a long way toward keeping your family healthy.
Although chemical disinfectants and sanitizers are essential to control communicable diseases, they are potentially hazardous to children, particularly if the products are in concentrated form.
Household bleach (chlorine as sodium hypochlorite) is active against most microorganisms, including bacterial spores and can be used as a disinfectant or sanitizer, depending on its concentration.
Bleach is available at various strengths:
Household bleach is effective, economical, convenient, and available at grocery stores. It can be corrosive to some metal, rubber, and plastic materials. Bleach solutions gradually lose their strength, so fresh solutions must be prepared daily, and stock solutions must be replaced every few months. Bleach solution should be left on for at least 2 minutes before being wiped off. It can be allowed to dry, because it leaves no residue. Household bleach can be used to sanitize dishes and eating utensils. The concentration of chlorine used in the process is much less than that used for disinfecting other objects.
By separating out the cleaning and disinfecting processes, you will reduce the amount of disinfectant chemicals used.
Alternative or less toxic cleaners are made from ingredients such as baking soda, liquid soap, and vinegar. Many of the ingredients are inexpensive, so you may save money over time. However they may require more "elbow grease," which means you may have to scrub harder.
Although the ingredients in homemade cleaners (eg, baking soda for scrubbing, vinegar for cutting grease) are safer, not all are nontoxic. Treat them as you would any other cleaner, with caution.

This thread votes on who will win the Regular Season Title for the WDA. This is who you will think will take the regular season, not necessarily the WDA Tournament or the State Tournament. (Bismarck won it in 2009 and 2008)
Thread will be pinned and open voting until November 23rd, the first game in both the East and West regions. You are free to change your vote up until that time and then you will be unable to vote or change your vote after this time (to stop skewing voting). Let's see how good the forums are at predicting how this season goes...
A new poll will be created during the regular season for the WDA title, and during the WDA tournament for the State tournament.
Good luck to all teams this year, and have fun!

For the past few days, I have been working on my Genea-Bloggers Group Games events. I have added descriptions and tags to 43 images that I have saved in the database of my great-great grandfather, Miles Francis Stanley I.
Part of that time was spent trying to figure out the best way to describe/tag/upload using the fewest keystrokes, and therefore as efficiently as possible. My previous method involved opening the image in the default Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, right-clicking on the image, going to Properties then Summary and adding the info. Then I would upload the image to my Flickr Miles Francis Stanley I set in the Stanley Surname collection and again add a description and tags. The image would upload to Flickr just fine, but the metadata wouldn't go with it. Double-duty!
A couple of months ago, I downloaded Picasa2, but haven't really done much with it. But when I started seriously examining the program in conjunction with the Games, I discovered a plugin for Picasa that allows you upload the image directly to Flickr, description & tags intact!
Picasa2/Flickr has made the task of organizing/backing up my data simple and painless!

United Center named NCAA host location for 2017 Frozen Fourby United Center Press Release / Chicago Blackhawks
The National Collegiate Athletic Association announced today that the United Center, in conjunction with the University of Notre Dame, has been selected to host the 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Championship, marking the first time the event has been held at the United Center. The competition, also known as the Frozen Four, will take place April 6-8, 2017.
"Hosting these NCAA championships is a tremendous opportunity to showcase Chicago as the first-class sports destination that it is," said Mayor Rahm Emanuel in a statement. "I look forward to welcoming the NCAA student-athletes, coaches, and fans to one of the country's greatest and most spirited sports cities."
The Frozen Four is the culmination of the NCAA's 16-team tournament to determine the collegiate national champion. The tournament, which began in 1948, has branded its semi-final and final games as the Frozen Four since 1999. The single-elimination tournament was expanded to its current 16-team format in 2003.
"We are incredibly proud to welcome the Frozen Four to the United Center in 2017," said Blackhawks Chairman Rocky Wirtz. "Along with our partner, the University of Notre Dame, we cannot think of a better hockey community to host this national championship and know what a powerful economic impact it will have on the City of Chicago. Since privately built in 1994, the United Center and the west side of Chicago have been home to countless memorable moments and we have no doubt that this marquee event will add to that legacy."
The United Center is a state-of-the-art, 960,000 square-foot multi-use entertainment facility that has welcomed over 40 million fans since opening in 1994. Home of the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League and the Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association, the United Center hosts over 200 events each year, including the best musical performers, sporting events, family shows, and special events in the industry.

"Can't wait to see u" texts, voice mails that end with "Love you," and notes written on a steamy mirror in the bathroom are cute and all, but a guy can't exactly hold on to those messages and keep them in the back of his dresser or in a box in his closet. What, you thought women were the only ones who did that kind of thing? Yeah, it's true men tend not to be as sentimental as we are, but trust us — if you give him the right kind of Valentine's Day card, it won't find its way into the trash come Monday.
To find out how to perfect the art of a sweet, but not cheesy card, we turned to poet and author of the new collection Easy: Poems, Marie Ponsot. Ponsot gave us these five tips:
1. Write about the guy, not your feelings for the guy. Often, people get wrapped up in starting each sentence with I. As in, "I love when you..." or "I am so happy..." But men (and their egos) respond better to simply reading about what makes them so great.
2. Don't try to go for an over-the-top romantic tone if that's not your style. The vibe of the note should be in keeping with your relationship. So if you joke around a lot with your guy, be funny. In other words, just because this is a love letter doesn't mean it has to be serious.
3. Read old e-mails before writing. Sometimes it's hard to come up with something really heartfelt on the spot. So get a little help from Gchat conversations and e-mail exchanges, which will give you inspiration and help you channel a spontaneous, sincere voice.
4. Listen to music. Yeah, it sounds corny, but playing a few of "your songs" will help get you in the right mindset.
5. Keep it short. Just like a poem, a love note can be only two lines long and still be meaningful. Don't feel like you have to fill the whole card.
Are you planning on giving your boyfriend or husband a card on Valentine's Day? Do you usually just sign cards to him or do you write a bit more? What's the sweetest thing he has ever written to you?

Cable and Wireless borrows big to finance split
Bye then
Cable and Wireless has today settled on the details of its long-planned split, which has been delayed by the recession.
The demerger, establishing CWI and Worldwide as separate firms, is now due to be completed by the end of March.
To ensure both new firms have enough cash to meet their debts and operate, Cable and Wireless plans a large bond issue and new loans.
It's planned the bond sale will raise £200m. A further £300m for the confusingly-named UK arm Worldwide, and $500m for the overseas arm CWI, will come from banks.
Cable and Wireless' famously-generously-remunerated top brass will remain in charge. Worldwide will be run by Jim Marsh, with John Pluthero as chairman. CWI will be run by Tony Rice with Richard Lapthorne as chairman.
The demerger follows deep cuts and job losses at Cable and Wireless which have helped the domestic and international businesses achieve profitability.
Shareholders will meet in February to approve the plan. ®

I am not a big fan of the horror genre. I like suspense but more of the thriller kind than the scary kind. That's why I didn't see the film until now although I've had the VCD at my place for close to half-a-year (it's not mine, I borrowed it from a friend back then, but he said it wasn't his and he doesn't know who it belongs to). And I am sure if it wasn't for the unfortune event regarding Leslie, it probably would've been in my VCD cabinet, untouch, for another six months before I remember and consider watching it. After I finished watching it last night, I realized what I've been missing. It truly is a great horror/suspense movie. Leslie plays a psychologist who does not believe in ghost. Karena is his newest patient and has claimed to be seeing ghosts (umm...sounds a little like "The Sixth Sense" here). As he tries to cure and help her, they fall in love. It's not till then that Leslie's own hidden problems gets the better of him and has him seeing ghosts instead. Leslie's last performance on the silver screen is great, but the star of the film is Karena Lam who, after winning best newcomer last year, gave another excellent performance. Both of them got their well deserved nominations for their work at the Hong Kong Film Awards. I am a little puzzle as to why this film wasn't nominated for best screenplay as both the story and script are well above the level of most HK films I've seen over the past few years. There are some flaws but I actually thought the screenplay was equal to or better than "Infernal Affairs" in many ways. Ok, maybe the central idea of it is a little like "The Sixth Sense" but it develops into something totally different and enjoyable at the end. I also think it should've been nominated for Best Picture. The overall mood of the movie was really well control by Best New Director winner Law Chi-Leung.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Stock index futures turned higher and extended gains Friday after a well-received earnings report from Citigroup and a stronger-than-expected rise in March retail sales that reinforced ideas that soft economic data earlier in the year was attributable to poor weather.
Rising tensions in Ukraine, however, another layer of tension to markets, pushed investors away from stocks earlier in the morning, and toward gold and the dollar.
S&P 500 index futures US:SPM4 advanced 10 points, or 0.6%, to 1,821.70, while those for the Dow Jones Industrial Average US:DJM4 gained 72 points, or 0.5%, to 16,053. Nasdaq-100 futures US:NDM4 rose 20.5 points to 3,464.50.
Citigroup C, +0.88% shares rose 3.6% in premarket trade after reporting adjusted earnings of $1.30 a share as revenue fell to $20.12 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had produced a consensus forecast for earnings of $1.14 on revenue of $19.37 billion.
Futures extended gains after the Commerce Department said retail sales rose 1.1% in March, the biggest jump since September 2012. The rise topped forecasts for a 0.9% increase, while February sales were revised up to show a 0.7% increase.
"The bottom line is that today's [retail sales] report is but the latest piece of evidence that the economy was unduly hampered by poor weather earlier in the year and as we progress through 2014, things should improve from there," said Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at BTIG.
Monday's Citigroup results are under the microscope after a disappointing set of results from J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, +1.00% helped wipe 1% off the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.03% on Friday. Overall market losses were also driven by an extended selloff in technology stocks that pushed the Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.11% below 4,000. The Nasdaq also suffered its worst weekly percentage drop—3.1%—since June 2012.
Business inventories for February will be released at 10 a.m. Eastern Time.
Negative headlines out of Ukraine were keeping a lid on equities for Monday, strategists noted. The Ukrainian government over the weekend gave pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine a Monday morning deadline, which has now passed, to disarm or face military action. That tension was keeping gold GCM24, -0.15% elevated, as well as the dollar DXY, -0.15%. Russia's blue-chip MICEX index XX:MCX was off 1.4%. Ukraine mobilizes as pro-Russian forces extend grip
European stocks SXXP, +0.02% also fell, though shares of Glencore Xstrata PLC GLEN, -0.18% rose 1% after the company's $5.8 billion sale of a Peruvian copper project to a Chinese consortium. Asian stocks failed to get any traction after Wall Street's losses last week and with investors wary ahead of a batch of Chinese data due Wednesday.
Outside of Citigroup, shares of Herbalife Ltd. HLF, -1.63% could be in the spotlight after The Wall Street Journal said the Federal of Bureau of Investigation and U.S. prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating the company, citing a person briefed on the matter. Herbalife, Citigroup, M&T Bank are stocks to watch
Reports of the probe sent Herbalife lower in late trade Friday. Shares were up nearly 4% in premarket action.

I finished knitting and blocking my Aeolian shawl the other day. This is the third and final shawl in my series of shawls for my bridesmaids. Considering there is still almost two months (or should I be saying only two months!) until the wedding I feel like I'm quite ahead of the game!
I think that this shawl is just soooo pretty. For me, its all about the border. It was quite a pain at first to figure out what points exactly I was supposed to be pinning out, but after a bit of Ravelry image searching and a little trial and error I was off and running. I actually LOVE blocking lace. Not only for the end result, which is always so satisfying, but for the process itself. When I blocked the Girasole blanket I knit for my friend Jenna's wedding gift I pinned out every little loop, one pin in each. It took all afternoon, but I was in heaven!
I chose to knit this shawl using the alternative narrow edging rather than the original edging. To compensate for the smaller border I did 6 repeats of the yucca chart instead of 4. If I were to knit this shawl, in this yarn, again and wanted to do the original thicker border I would only do 4 repeats of the yucca chart to ensure that I don't run out of yarn.
The yarn is Tanis Fiber Arts Silver Label Mulberry silk in the Plum colourway, I used about 90% of one skein. After having knit 3 shawls in this yarn I can very confidently say that I am very proud to have this yarn as a part of my collection. But I think I've already gone on at length about how much I love this yarn, so I'll stop now.
At first I wasn't sure I loved the swooped wings on this shawl. But by not swooping them too dramatically I think that I can easily learn to live with it, in fact, I think I actually quite like it.
The pattern suggests 7 stitch or 9 stitch nupps. I instead elected to do 5 stitch nupps, for no other reason than because I was feeling lazy when I came around to the first nupp row. I think that next time I would make them 7 stitch nupps because if you're going to go to all the trouble of doing nupps, you might as well make them big!

The Raikage (雷影, Literally meaning: Lightning Shadow) is the Kage of Kumogakure, a title bestowed on the village's leader. The Raikage is generally regarded as the strongest shinobi in the village. How the Raikage is selected isn't clear; after the Third Raikage died, his son automatically became Fourth Raikage, a decision made many years earlier.[1] The Raikage works inside a central blue structure inside Kumogakure.
The first four Raikage each had the given name A (エー, Ē, Viz: Ei, English TV: Ay). Each A had a tag-team partner named "B" (ビー, Bī), who was responsible for defending the Raikage and bringing out the Raikage's full power.[2]
List of Raikage
First Raikage
Main article: A (First Raikage) A (エー, Ē, Viz: Ei, English TV: Ay) was the First Raikage (初代雷影, Shodai Raikage, Literally meaning: First or Founding Lightning Shadow) who founded Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning.

Main article: A (Second Raikage) A (エー, Ē, Viz: Ei, English TV: Ay) was the Second Raikage (二代目雷影, Nidaime Raikage, Literally meaning: Second Lightning Shadow) of Kumogakure. Throughout his reign he worked hard towards building peace between the other hidden villages.[3]
Third Raikage
Main article: A (Third Raikage) A (エー, Ē, Viz: Ei, English TV: Ay) was the Third Raikage (三代目雷影, Sandaime Raikage, Literally meaning: Third Lightning Shadow) of Kumogakure, renowned to be the greatest Raikage the village has ever had.[4]

COUNTRY United States
From Zurich, the son of Bass player Vali Mayer, Jojo spent much of his early childhood on the road in Europe and the Far East. At the age of 2 he got his first drum set, and he made his first public performance in Hong Kong at three! By 18 he had joined Monty Alexander's group touring major festivals in Europe (North Sea Jazz Festival, Montreux, Nice, Antibes and Athens); that led to gigs with Dizzy Gillespie & Nina Simone, while introducing him to larger International Jazz audiences.
Moving to New York City in 1991, he soon built up a number of writing and production credits for his significant live and studio work. He also ran the popular Prohibited Beatz live electronica party in NYC from 1996-2001. Jojo Mayer is known for bringing together jazz, drum and bass, jungle, and other influences. He is also famous for his ability to play the rhythms of programmed jungle drum 'n' bass music on acoustic drums, terming this technique "reverse engineering", a phrase borrowed from computing. He executes this approach using various methods such as the Heel-toe bass drum technique, the Moeller stroke, and the "pull-out" or "push-pull" accent which takes the beat on the rebound. Using these techniques, he can play beats at astonishing speeds. A few of his main influences are Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette and Buddy Rich.
He played with the guitarist David Fiuczynski in the avant-garde pop rock band Screaming Headless Torsos and in the fusion jazz band, Intergalactic Maiden Ballet. He also performed with such luminaries as Meshell Ndegeocello, Vernon Reid's Science Project, DJ Spooky, the Vienna Art Orchestra, Wayne Krantz, Gerald Veasley, John Zorn, James Blood Ulmer, Chico Freeman, Dhaffer Yousef, John Medeski, Hiram Bullock, Depart, Friedrich Gulda, Harry Sokal, Mike Stern & Wah Wah Watson. Jojo is a skilled clinician who continues to appear in numerous music festivals and sells out clinics all around the world.
Jojo has also played a significant role in product development with SABIAN, having worked closely with the Vault team on the design of his signature Fierce models (Hats, Ride and Crash), the AAX and HHX OMNI cymbals, and the Hoop Crasher.

The Jerusalem District Court has ordered Moshav Yad Hashmonah, a community of Messianic Jews and Evangelical Christians, to pay compensation to two lesbians after it refused to host a same-sex wedding reception. "We knew we were breaking the law. Somebody needed to do it." says Ayelet Ronen, general secretary for the village.
Judge Moshe Yoad Cohen upheld a lower court ruling that the Moshav violated a law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.
During the trial, representatives of the Moshav quoted from both Old and New Testaments. "We do not hate homosexuals or lesbians. We love them. We simply told the court that it is God's word in the Bible that calls homosexuality an abomination," Ronen told said.
She continues: "As a faith-based community we need to be able to refuse events that blatantly oppose our religious beliefs. We explained to the judge that a same-sex celebration would ruin our business. The majority of our clientele are Christians who vigorously oppose gay marriage."
The lesbians' lawyer accused members of Yad Hashmonah of "homophobia," pointing to an announcement published by the Moshav that "no homosexual or lesbian organization will be allowed to rent space for functions on our premises."
That announcement came in response to a flood of requests for same-sex celebrations on the Moshav from gays and lesbians hoping to pass more court decisions requiring the Messianic community to pay out huge compensations.
As a result, the Moshav was forced to shutter their events-hosting business, resulting in huge financial losses. "We used to host an average of 35-50 weddings a year over the past 12 years. Israelis from all over the country, religious and secular, loved to come here. Now there are none," says Ronen.
Judge Cohen held that the Moshav cannot refuse to host a same-sex wedding reception even if doing so goes against their own conscious. The Moshav's lawyer, Michael Decker, challenged that ruling, asking the judge, "What if a Catholic went to an Orthodox Jewish carpentry in [the ultra-Orthodox town of] Bnei Barack and asked them to build a statue of Mary? Would they have to build the idolatrous image?"
The judge replied: "They would have to make it or else be fined. That is the law."
Ronen says that the ruling demonstrates that "even the judge understood that current laws are not providing sufficient protections for religious communities."
According to Ronen, "a lot of religious Jews and rabbis have secretly told us 'good for you. We are glad that you take this stand.' But they will not stand with [Messianic Jews] to change the law. They hate us too much and would never work with us."
In his ruling, the judge upheld the earlier verdict of the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court, ordering Yad Hashmonah to pay the two lesbians damages of 60,000 shekels ($17,000) plus another 30,000 shekels for attorneys' fees for both the original suit and the appeal. "At this time we are not planning another appeal. To lose again would not sound good," says Ronen.

Arrived at depot well within timescale indicated and then delivered, moved built and all boxes/packaging removed by two of the most friendly and very helpful gents you could meet. The lads even moved the fully built bed orientation after wife changed her mind.
