Modelling the duration of patent examination at the European Patent Office
AbstractWe analyze the duration of patent examination at the European Patent Office (EPO). Our data contain variables that are correlates of the applicants' and examiners' assessments of a patent's economic and technical relevance as well as ex post-application citation measures which indicate the impact of the patent application on the state of the art. We present descriptive statistics for 30 major technology fields. In our multivariate analysis we estimate competing risk specifications in order to characterize differences in the processes leading to either a withdrawal of the application by the applicant, a refusal of the patent grant or an actual patent grant by the European Patent Office. Measuring a patent's importance relying on the number of citations by subsequent patents we find that more important patents are approved faster by the EPO than less important patents but that applicants are more hesitant to withdraw these potentially valuable applications.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Chad Tracy singled in the 13th inning to score Danny Espinosa and lift the Washington Nationals to a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.
Washington grabbed a six-game lead in the NL East, handing Atlanta its third straight loss.
Ian Desmond led off the 13th with an infield single off Cristhian Martinez (5-3) before Espinosa tried to bunt and hit into a forceout. Kurt Suzuki then hit a slow roller for an infield hit, allowing Espinosa to take third.
With the infield in, Tracy hit a ball to Uggla, who appeared confused and instead of either trying to get Espinosa at the plate or attempting to turn a double play, he fumbled it, and Espinosa scored the game-winner.
Craig Stammen (6-1) pitched two hitless innings for the win.

text: It's truly a milestone, perhaps even a rite of passage. But while Hunter Wright isn't old enough to legally drink in the United States, he's certainly created one of the cleanest BMW E90 four-doors around. In the past, we've discovered only a handful of inspiring E90 sedans, such as the Hartge V10 from Turner Motorsport (et 7/07) and VQ Motoring's widebody 335i (et 5/08). The last published example was Dennis Wang's twincharged spectacle (et 8/08). Yet Hunter's '06 example is possibly the best daily-driven E90 sedan we've found. You'll notice there's no color change, forced induction or widened fenders. The modifications were kept in check to further enhance the car's original features, rather than overpowering them. At the age of 19, Hunter's a natural at this. His story begins with a Ford Mustang, or rather a dream of one. "At first, all I wanted was a Mustang GT. Then I realized it was a POS," he laughed. Looking at the BMW brand, he found a platform with performance, style and luxury - something a college student in Houston could appreciate. His father owned a 7-Series, so Hunter was familiar with the vehicles rather than knowledgeable. So he began to research online, finding photos of other people's cars to help build his own. "I came across some sites that were a bad influence, but in good way. They just made me spend a lot of money," he laughed. Many hours on the computer and one trip to the dealer later, Hunter had embarked on his very first project car. "The first thing I wanted was a good set of wheels," he explained, "but I've gone through eight sets because I want something new all the time." Hunter finally settled on a set of BBS RS-GT wheels in diamond black. The staggered 19x8.5" fronts and 19x10" rear wheels were then wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. Hunter continued to constantly change parts when he personalized the exterior. The front-end received a facelift every few months, starting with a Hartge spoiler, then AC Schnitzer parts. However, he wasn't satisfied until he fit the whole M-Technik kit with a Studie front splitter and a Vorsteiner carbon fiber hood. While Hunter visited Los Angeles one summer, he decided to have DTM Autohaus of El Monte, CA fabricate a trunk lid to replicate the E46 M3 CSL. The trunk used an OE lid with a custom metal extension to achieve its more pronounced spoiler. Dipping into the accessories catalog, Hunter ordered a carbon diffuser for the rear bumper, as well as OE Blackline tail lights. Up front he found a set of European HIDs with clear turn signals instead of amber. Angel eyes, black kidney grilles and LED side markers finished the exterior. The stance needed attention, so KW V2 coilovers lowered the chassis. Once familiar with it, Hunter felt the sedan could use less body roll, so he then fitted H&R sway bars front and rear. One of Hunter's favorite modifications and finest indulgences was the seats. "I didn't get BMW's Sports package so I really didn't care about performance. Instead of spending money on the OE sport seats, I got better for less with Recaro." He selected Recaro's newest Sportster CS seats made from carbon, kevlar and fiberglass composite. Beige alcantara centers were then upholstered to match the interior, while black leather bolsters and headrests added some additional contrast. Hunter had no intention of building the fastest 325i in the country, so he decided to keep the power upgrades simple. There also wasn't much available at the time. "If there had been a reliable supercharger available, I'd have got it," he said. Instead, an Eisenmann exhaust and GruppeM carbon intake would have to do. And with carbon emerging as a theme on the car, Hunter added Vorsteiner engine covers. Not needing extravagant brakes, Hunter strived for a tuner-look by installing JBT brakes. However, "I saw the Vorsteiner-edition Brembos and had to have them. They had the carbon inlay in the calipers," he explained. 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article By Sam Du Enjoyed this Post?

Greetings! I'm Robyn, a new blogger here at Adoption Blogs. I'm mom to Jack, through private, open, domestic adoption. Jack's adoption, from signing with our agency to finalization, took just over one year, from May, 2005 to August, 2006.
Today was a very bad day for me, as we received some unfortunate financial news. Like many families, we're experiencing a period of extreme belt-tightening. The hardest part of this for me is knowing that we'll have to delay our next adoption.
I had always wanted a big family. As a child, I was going to have 8 kids and name them all after the characters in the Trixie Belden books. Then, I was going to adopt 6 kids. Then, I started dating my now-husband, who wasn't sure he wanted any kids, but eventually acquiesced to 2, with the possibility of more, but probably just the 2.
I'm one of 2 children. I have a younger sister, and we don't get along, which I attribute in part to the fact that we're only 19 months apart in age. I know many people get along with their close-in-age siblings, but for me, it's important that my children weren't too close together in age. From my experiences with friends and other family members, about 3 – 5 years seems to be good. Close enough that they can play, but far enough apart that each gets his or her own space.
It's also important to me that my son has a sibling. My husband is an only child. I know he had struggles growing up, and he's unsure about how to be the only person to handle his parents' affairs if it ever becomes necessary. He's also the only one to carry on his family's name.
My son, Jack, is 3 years old now, and started asking for a little sister last summer. His best friend's mom was pregnant with a baby girl. Sitting between my husband and me on the couch, Jack looked at me and said, "I want a baby sister."
"Ask your father," I replied.
He swiveled his head and looked at Daddy. "I want a baby sister."
Funny, yes. But now he is actively looking forward to having a sister. He started asking again around Christmas time, and I told him that someday he would, but not until he was at least 4. He painted a picture and told us that it's "for my baby sister when I'm four".
However, in today's world, he's more likely to be 5 before we can think of adopting again.
Now, some people would say "just do foster adopt" because it costs less – it can even be free. However, I feel that one shouldn't choose a form of adoption simply because of financial cost. There are different challenges with the different forms of adoption. A family should choose the type of adoption that fits them, and hopefully work out the financial cost. There are low-cost agencies and adoption professionals who work with families within a budget. It can be done.
Despite knowing that, it still stings that Jack can't have his little sister. I had hoped to begin the process again by now, knowing that because we'll be specifying gender, the wait will likely be longer. It's more important, of course, to make sure that our family is financially stable.
That's my story. How has the economy affected your hopes of adopting?

A pointer maybe to take a look a what happens when you make a link to a large local disk (called iTunes). The link is done from the "terminal.app" or UNIX prompt, and is in /Users/USERNAME/Music
cd /Users/USERNAME/Music
mv iTunes orig.iTunes
ln -s /Volumes/iTunes iTunes
I use this to link all users to the same Library on the same computer.
Ok /Volumes/iTunes is another locally attached disk, and ok automounter is not employed here. Its not easy to see whats the best way to do this under MacOSX, do I use UNIX or do I use the GUI to do it. Automounter in the generally accepted sense requires a NIS master with all the maps to the filesystems on remote machines, you may not have this.

Santorum's Blunt Talk is Proving Troublesome
In getting this far, Rick Santorum has achieved what no one — with the possible exception of himself — would have thought was possible four months ago. But the very qualities that made him a contender are turning into problems, as he is more frequently being tripped up by saying what is on his mind and by sometimes-errant tactical instincts.

Customer Reviews
Wonderful creation!Review by Brandonon 6/6/13This is my 2nd favorite flavor from Volcano.. so far. While inhaling, you do get the taste of vanilla & chocolate, & as you exhale, you can taste the hazelnut. Glad I have no allergic reaction to anything because I'd hate to miss out on this flavor!!
best juice on the marketReview by Nathanon 5/30/13or, at least from volcano. I can't say enough good things about this flavor. perfect TH, even at 16mg, perfect vapor that lingers a nice coco scent in the air, no one will complain. Wife's favorite, my favorite (at this point). will order a bigger bottle next time. don't change or remove this flavor volcano... ever
Perfection with a hint of nicotine.Review by Markon 5/25/13This flavor is amazing! It such a full and satisfying taste, almost like a desert. All the different flavors compliment each other so well. The moment it hits your mouth you get the taste of the chocolate and vanilla, and the after taste is the hazelnut. Absolutely perfect.
The BestReview by seanon 5/3/13I started with vanilla bean but since vapeing this I'm so satisfied with the taste can't get enough of it reordering for the 3rd time!
All day vape for over a yearReview by Chrison 4/21/13I got this flavor in Feb 2012 and it became the only flavor I HAD to have every day. The blend of the 3 flavors is perfect and sometimes in anticipation my mouth actually waters, lol. Someon said it clogs their cartos, but I actually get between 22 and 25 days in my Tube Tank with very little loss of flavor or variation in draw and that usually occurrs between those two figures. I keep a spreadsheet of my Tank usage with Flavors and if I don't get at least 15 to 18 days it doesn't go in a Tank. I do at least two mls a day in my Tank without a problem. Can't imagine ever being without my Choconilla!!! Love it.
One Of My Top 10 Favorite FlavorsReview by Xhanteon 4/20/13Choconilla Haze is currently my "go to" flavor. I actually didn't like it the first couple of times I tried it in the store, but now I love it! If you're a sweet freak (like me) this is definitely one to try. A bit off the subject, but i would love to try a Li Hing Mui flavored liquid. Blue Raspberry, Lime, and Sweet Ginger are also flavors I'd like to see Volcano carrying one day.
Very good all day vapeReview by Johnon 4/19/13This is a very good all day vape, all by itself no mixing. I ordered a 30 ml and it was gone in less than a week
No problems in the MAGMA Re-fillable MEGA-ClearomizerReview by Maganon 4/17/13I forgot to mention in my last review that I have been vaping this in the same MAGMA Re-fillable MEGA-Clearomizer for 3 weeks & have not had a single problem. I've actually kept 2 of them loaded so that I always have a full one on the go & neither of them have clogged, leaked, or otherwise malfunctioned. I thought this was worth adding since I see that other people have had problems. Obviously, your mileage will vary as well but personally, not a single problem.
Found my all day vape on my first try!Review by Maganon 4/17/13I don't like imitation chocolate, vanilla, or bakery flavored things at all. I'd go so far as to say I almost despise them. I do however, love hazelnut. When we started researching vaporizers I was confident I would never want to to even sample any of these types of liquids. My girlfriend picked this flavor as her free one that came with her inferno & I had no plans to even sample it but after reading some reviews for it on popular e-cig forum I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a puff. I fell in love immediately & it is the only thing I have smoked consistently for the past 3 weeks. Honestly, I'm not sure I taste chocolate, vanilla, or hazelnut specifically in this liquid but something about the blend of all 3 makes it to die for & I cannot get enough. We have since bought about 15 different flavored liquids & none of them even compare to this one for me for flavor, smoothness, aftertaste, & consistency. I'm truly shocked at how much I love this. I remember reading that just because you don't like eating something doesn't mean you won't like vaping it & I've found that to be 100% true in my case. My favorite liquids have all been bakery flavors (a first for me!) & my least favorite have been fruits (which I thought I would love). It's really bizarre. I recommend everyone give this a try at least once even if you don't think you'll like it. It truly can't be beat. I'm giving it 5 stars & I rarely do that for anything.
Not badReview by Leslieon 4/7/13I bought this expecting something a bit more.. Chocolatey. Probably my mistake for assuming so. It's not bad, and it has a hazelnutty aftertaste. I don't particularly care for it though. I've tried it with Menthol Burst, which makes it a little more bearable, but it's a little too sweet for me. It seems more like a dessert rather than something I could use an all day vape. Definitely worth trying, though.

5 Rocket Stocks Set to Rally in March
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- New month, new market . . . Or at least that's the theme that stocks have been playing since the calendar ticked over to 2012. Now that we've hit the first full trading week of March, can the rally continue?
By and large, all of the key fundamentals -- from employment to corporate earnings -- still look the same. At this point, it's the extraneous market factors (such as Europe's debt crisis and the price of oil) that are posing the most risk to Mr. Market in March. As the broad market consolidates right around newfound support at 1365 in the S&P 500 and 13,000 in the Dow, we'll need to see some sort of positive catalyst to start equities on the next leg of their rally.
Even though it's unlikely we'll see that today, there's a good chance that the spark could come later this week.

Factsheet for Sunday 22nd September 2013
Harvest of Land and Sea: Aled Jones visits Whitby and the North York Moors in search of some unusual harvests and introduces hymns from farming and port communities all over the country.
Terence Maw
Terence has farming in his blood. His grandfather was a shepherd, then his father started farming in his own right, and Terence has carried on the tradition. He runs his mixed lowland farm at the foot of the North Yorkshire Moors, with crops, cattle and sheep. He is an active member of the local community and trains young people in the way of the land.
Barry Brown
In 1872, William Fortune founded the famous Fortune's smokehouse in Whitby. The smokehouse still in its original Henrietta Street location has been passed down through the family, so that today it is run by the fifth generation of the Fortune family.
Michael Shaw
Michael was born in the rugged North Yorkshire fishing town of Whitby where observation of surroundings and climate change come as second nature. Having worked in the photographic world all his life, Michael only recently took up photography seriously, prior to this, taking and developing his own black and white photographs in The Sutcliffe Gallery darkroom as a teenager in the 1970s. Digital format photography was the catalyst which inspired him to seek his own style.
Reverend Adrian Gatrill
Formerly a Wing Commander in the Royal Air Force, Adrian is now a Chaplain and volunteer signalman at the North York Moors Railway. He became interested in trains as a young boy and couldn't think of anything better than combining his hobby with doing something worthwhile. He enjoys meeting people from all walks of life and sees the railway as a manifestation of the skills given to humanity by God.

bump mappingBump mapping is used to add detail to an image without increasing the number of polygons. Bump mapping relies on light-reflection calculations to create small bumps on the surface of the object in order to give it texture; the surface of the object is not changed.
Bumps are applied by matching up a series of grayscale pixels with colored pixels on the rendered, colored object. Lighter grayscale pixels create a sense of maximum relief or maximum indentation; darker pixels have less effect.
A computer must contain a supporting 3D graphics card when it runs an application that has been coded to include bump maps. If the graphics card does not support bump mapping, then the bumps won't be seen. In the case of computer games, the programmer usually will code an alternate version that doesn't use bump maps. This version will look flatter and less real.

When I ask [people] about the feminist books or magazines they read, when I ask them about the feminist talks they have heard, about the feminist activists they know, they respond by letting me know that everything they know about feminism has come into their lives thirdhand, that they really have not come close enough to feminist movement to know what really happens, what it's really about. Mostly they think feminism is a bunch of angry women who want to be like men. …When I talk about the feminism I know—up close and personal—they willingly listen, although when our conversations end, they are quick to tell me I am different, not like the 'real' feminists who hate men, who are angry. I assure them that I am as real and as radical a feminist as one can be, and if they dare to come closer to feminism they will see it is not how they have imagined it.
i'm so tired of this "misogynist with a heart of gold" hollywood trope
i'm so tired of these leading men who treat women like shit until they meet the "right" kind of girl who is worthy of their respect
revealing that they were a good guy all along
i'm so tired of being told my humanity is negotiable
Oh—you wouldn't date a girl who's ever been a stripper?
In that case, I wouldn't date a guy who's ever been to a strip club.
Oh—you wouldn't date a girl who's ever done porn?
In that case, I wouldn't date a guy who's ever watched porn.
You're the reason we exist.
You're the demand to our supply.
If you disdain sex workers, don't you dare consume our labor.

Slurs are not just "bad words". They're part of systemic dehumanization of entire groups of people who are and have historically been subjugated and hated just for being alive.

FYSE: Mmmm communication is sexy!
When I was seventeen and preparing to leave for university, my mother's only brother saw fit to give me some advice.
"Just don't be an idiot, kid," he told me, "and don't ever forget that boys and girls can never just be friends."
I laughed and answered, "I'm not too worried. And I don't really think all guys are like that."
When I was eighteen and the third annual advent of the common cold was rolling through residence like a pestilent fog, a friend texted me asking if there was anything he could do to help.
I told him that if he could bring me up some vitamin water that would be great, if it wasn't too much trouble.
That semester I learned that human skin cells replace themselves every three to five weeks. I hoped that in a month, maybe I'd stop feeling the echoes of his touch; maybe my new skin would feel cleaner.
It didn't. But I stood by what I said. Not all guys are like that.
When I was nineteen and my roommate decided the only way to celebrate the end of midterms was to get wasted at a club, I humoured her.
Four drinks, countless leers and five hands up my skirt later, I informed her I was ready to leave.
"I get why you're upset," she told me on the walk home, "but you have to tolerate that sort of thing if you want to have any fun. And really, not all guys are like that."
(Age nineteen also saw me propositioned for casual sex by no fewer than three different male friends, and while I still believe that guys and girls can indeed be just friends, I was beginning to see my uncle's point.)
When I was twenty and a stranger that started chatting to me in my usual cafe asked if he could walk with me (since we were going the same way and all), I accepted.
Before we'd even made it three blocks he was pulling me into an alleyway and trying to put his hands up my shirt. "You were staring," he laughed when I asked what the fuck he was doing (I wasn't), "I'm just taking pity."
But not all guys are like that.
I am twenty one and a few days ago a friend and I were walking down the street. A car drove by with the windows down, and a young man stuck his head out and whistled as they passed. I ignored it, carrying on with the conversation.
My friend did not. "Did you know those people?" He asked.
"Not at all," I answered.
Later when we sat down to eat he got this thoughtful look on his face. When I asked what was wrong he said, "You know not all guys do that kind of thing, right? We're not all like that."
As if he were imparting some great profound truth I'd never realized before. My entire life has been turned around, because now I've been enlightened: not all guys are like that.
No. Not all guys are. But enough are. Enough that I am uncomfortable when a man sits next to me on the bus. Enough that I will cross to the other side of the street if I see a pack of guys coming my way. Enough that even fleeting eye contact with a male stranger makes my insides crawl with unease. Enough that I cannot feel safe alone in a room with some of my male friends, even ones I've known for years. Enough that when I go out past dark for chips or milk or toilet paper, I carry a knife, I wear a coat that obscures my figure, I mimic a man's gait. Enough that three years later I keep the story of that day to myself, when the only thing that saved me from being raped was a right hook to the jaw and a threat to scream in a crowded dorm, because I know what the response will be.
I live my life with the everburning anxiety that someone is going to put their hands on me regardless of my feelings on the matter, and I'm not going to be able to stop them. I live with the knowledge that statistically one in three women have experienced a sexual assault, but even a number like that can't be trusted when we are harassed into silence. I live with the learned instinct, the ingrained compulsion to keep my mouth shut to jeers and catcalls, to swallow my anger at lewd suggestions and crude gestures, to put up my walls against insults and threats. I live in an environment that necessitates armouring myself against it just to get through a day peacefully, and I now view that as normal. I have adapted to extreme circumstances and am told to treat it as baseline. I carry this fear close to my heart, rooted into my bones, and I do so to keep myself unharmed.
So you can tell me that not all guys are like that, and you'd even be right, but that isn't the issue anymore. My problem is not that I'm unaware of the fact that some guys are perfectly civil, decent, kind—my problem is simply this:
In a world where this cynical overcaution is the only thing that ensures my safety, I'm no longer willing to take the risk.
— r.d. (via elferinge)
Yes. This. All of this.
It's what I tried to explain in my post about being afraid of cis people, and this is also how I feel about interactions with men too. People who don't get it keep looking at it from the wrong angle. They look at it from the angle of the privileged group. When they hear a woman talk about harassment, or sexism, or assault they've experienced, they go "not all men are like that", and they think, as long as it's not ALL of the men that are like that, then it's okay. As long as there are men who don't have experiences of assaulting women, harassing us, or being sexist assholes, then there's not a problem. As long as there are cis people who don't have experiences of misgendering trans people, then there's no problem. They don't look at it from our perspective, which is that each time this happens to us, it scars us. WE have to deal with each incident, and the effects on us. WE have to deal with each time this happens, not knowing what's going to happen, or in what condition we'll be in when the incident is over. This adds up. It's like telling somebody who gets slashed with a knife every so often whenever they go out, "oh not all knife wielders are like that", and they want us to not be paranoid about knife wielders. When you've been hurt over and over again, seemingly randomly, and you don't know when the next person you meet is going to do it again, you get scared. You get damned scared because you don't want to get cut again, you don't want another scar, you don't want to have to heal again. You don't want to get hurt. And it doesn't fucking matter how many people are like that as long as it regularly keeps happening to us, and the culture keeps excusing it and creating an environment where it keeps happening!
Not all men are like that.
That's irrelevant.
Almost all women have had an experience with a man who is like that.
That isn't.

A report from the National Transgender Discrimination Survey conducted by the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality, found that transgender people faced double the rate of unemployment of the general population, with 63 percent of the transgender people surveyed reporting they experienced a serious act of discrimination that majorly affected their ability to sustain themselves. These numbers are even worse for trans people of color, especially trans women of color, the deaths of whom have been deemed a "state of emergency."
Trans women have been saddled with the responsibility of taking on trans-exclusionary feminists for far too long—but it's not their issue to deal with alone.

Look at how poor female survivors of sex trafficking are treated: 45 out of 50 states refuse to expunge/vacate our prostitution arrest records, which employers then use to deny us chances for jobs. Lawmakers know that this holds us back from being able to get ANY job at all so we can rebuild our lives and emotionally heal, and get on our feet to support ourselves - thanks to Welfare Reform, there is NO adequate economic safety net for unemployable destitute, marginalized women.
This is what pimps mean when they tell their victims, "Once a whore, always a whore." Pimps KNOW that society has allowed poor throw-away women and girls NO OTHER PLACE except the gutter and an early grave (life expectancy rate for poor sex trafficking survivors in the US is 34 yrs old), and that those of us who survived and escaped prostitution by sheer luck are NOT treated very nicely by everybody else.

Seriously, I have a particular hatred for "It is what it is", especially after they started using it as the slogan for Grape Nuts. I mean, geez, you spend 20 years adding artificial junk to your products and now you want a medal just because on one of them, you *don't* do it?

Patrick Mohr k1x
The collaboration of German designer Patrick Mohr and the urban brand K1X have managed to cook up a huge success in the release of their much sought after trainer 'Patrick Mohr K1X' , it seems that whenever these limited, exclusive trainers/sneakers have been released or re-stocked, they have flown of the shelves, showing how in demand they are, and their rarity! This is one of the reasons I would love to have a pair of these on my feet. The most recent design of these trainers are made up of suede, which I think always makes for a nice pair of trainers/sneakers rather than the basic leather or mesh you so often see these days. The triangles that feature on these trainers are also very intriguing and eye catching, showing good attention to detail on the trainer/sneaker and originality in its design. For me its the ripple strip going through the middle of the laces and the attachable triangle (trademark) logo that make the trainers/sneakers, i honestly think that it makes the trainer stand out from the crowd and gives it great character. The Patrick Mohr K1X has to be one of my favorite trainers to ever land, due to its exclusivity in both design and availability pretty much everything I look for in a trainer/sneaker! I will definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for any restocking or new releases of these beauties!

Flay, who rose to prominence in 1991 at the helm of Mesa Grill in New York City, has since forged a culinary empire of television shows, cookbooks, high-end restaurants and burger eateries. In "Beat Bobby Flay," his latest venture in reality TV, the 49-year-old competes with another chef for bragging rights to the contender's signature dish.

Ta-Ku / Pavel Dovgal: Finest Ego | Faces 12" Series Vol. 1 (LP, 12 Inch, Digital)
Project: Mooncircle & Finest Ego have teamed up to establish a fresh new 12" producer series, entitled "Faces". On every edition, you will find two different producers. Respectively, each producer will have their own record-side and unique cover artwork by the aspiring LNY, known for his surrealistic portraits, blending humans and animals.
The very first installment of the "Faces" series will feature the two prolific beathsmiths Pavel Dovgal & Ta-Ku. Coming from backgrounds which could not possibly be any more different – Ta-Ku has Philippine roots and grew up in Australia while Pavel was born in Russia and moved to Ukraine at young age – these two artists share a common connection through their relentless work-ethic and individualistic creative approach to making music. They have been fighting for international recognition with their extravagant beats, just like the Megasoma & Hercules beetles fight for female recognition with their extravagant horns.

Artist biographies:
Pavel Dovgal was born in Vladivostok, Russia and moved to Ukraine at quite a young age, where he realized that his true calling was music. His music is experimental, surprising, and daring and his talent and hard work have brought him local musical success. (The release in 2010 of his first solo album on Project Mooncircle turned this local success into international recognition.) Pavel's music is a trip into a fable and his medium is the music of different genres: Hip Hop, Dubstep, Glitch, Wonky and Downbeat, used to form pictures. His work is free spirited and there are hints of feelings, allusions, enigma and mystery. We won't get into the inner workings of his music, how it finds its way into the hearts and souls of the audience, the important thing is that it serves its purpose.
Recent Redbull Academy participant, Reggie 'Ta-ku' Mathews, has gone from strength to strength and has released a plethora of beat tapes and with releases set to drop in 2011, this future beat maker has a lot more coming and many more releases to unleash.
LNY is an artist living and working between New Jersey and New York. He makes art that is drawing based, social and open to the public in general; hence his drawings can be found pasted on buildings all over the world as well as in galleries and on 16-year-old kids' tumblrs all over the internet. He is one half of Doodledrag, a New Jersey based doodling collective and always welcomes collaboration.

Yummy - what a wonderful fall meal! I cooked the pumpkin (whole) in the oven first so it was easy to peel/cut. I also garnished bowls of soup with some crumbled bacon and finely chopped walnuts toasted with a bit of cinnamon. My husband will definitely have me make it again.

This soup was great!!!! As it was cooking I was nervous all of the flavors wouldn't meld, but they turned out lovely. I baked the pumpkin ahead of time, so the soup cooked much more quickly. My boyfriend loved it! I will definitely cook this again.
osheace Posted: 11/05/09
I love this soup and make it every October. I agree with the other postings though. It requires more salt then the recipe calls for.
ChefTia Posted: 11/02/09
This is a great recipe. It allows the natural sweetness of the pumpkin and apple to shine. I used pear instead of apple and it was amazing. Not too sweet, creamy and rich.
tulip131 Posted: 12/25/08
I made this soup for a holiday open house and left it in the crockpot to keep warm. I served it with a dallop of sour cream and crackers. It was amazing!
skychief Posted: 11/11/10
Excellent-Nothing but raves from the dinner guests. I substitued half and half for the evaporated skim milk, so add 160 calories for the total pot of soup . I also added a table spoon of Tabasco chipotle for just a hint of heat. I will make it again many times!!
rebeccaf Posted: 11/06/10
We loved this recipe. It was a quick and easy weeknight meal, yet full of complex flavors. It paired well with the Black Bean Tomato Soup. I did make some adjustments: doubled the mustard/cider mixture, used Trader Joe's Light Brie (still super creamy), and substituted spinach for the arugula because neither my husband nor I am a fan of arugula. Even our 17-month-old liked the quesadillas!
pmwilbourne Posted: 11/23/09
We served this for a dinner party with crab meat served on top as a garnish. Everyone loved it and came back for seconds. It worked really well with the crab meat. We are going to make it again for Thanksgiving.
carolfitz Posted: 10/07/13
Seriously, who peels and cubes a pumpkin? Baked the unpeeled pumpkin & apple first and added about 2tbs frozen apple juice along with the broth. Soup's easy to make, good Fall flavors & color.
jarnolduf Posted: 02/06/14
This soup is delicious! I followed the recipe with one exception: I used whipping cream instead of evaporated milk. It was creamy and very flavorful. My husband said the soup tasted like it was from a fine restaurant.

These are the best gingersnaps ever. In an airtight container, gingersnaps are crispy–left out, they're chewy. Try some both ways. Gingersnaps are also the best dunking cookies. Kids love to help make them–rolling the dense, fragrant dough into balls, coating them in sugar, and then watching the cookies magically flatten out during baking. It's almost as much fun as eating them. A very traditional (and easy) recipe from the twins and Lucas's "cookie grandma."Don't forget to save a few for the wonderful gingersnap gravy that goes with the sauerbraten.
Sift flour, baking
soda and salt together, set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat shortening
and sugar until well blended. Beat in egg,
Yield: 40-60 cookies

OK, let's go with your line of thinking for a minute. Wouldn't it be more logical to assume that it's in response to their actual current largest competition (EQII & LotRO) instead of in response to their theoretically-possible-maybe-future largest competition (WAR)?
In reality, this is just a bunch of WAR fanboy nonsense. Yes, this is a "Keeping up with the Joneses" maneuver. But, it's not due to fear of any single competitor. It's just Blizzard catching up with a feature that has become an industry standard.

Certainly – but I grab the chance [:)]

Ahead of Australia Day celebrations (on Thursday January 26) the Sunday Herald Sun will be giving readers the opportunity to collect a free Aussie hat with the purchase of the newspaper on Sunday January 22, 2012.
In anticipation of reader demand, you can expect to receive approximately 35% of your current Sunday Herald Sun sales in hats.
The hats will be delivered on Thursday January 19 with your newspaper supplies. Please call the Circulation office on (03) 9292 1073 if you do not receive any hats on this day.
The Aussie hats are available in Victoria/Riverina only and on a "while stocks last" basis.
Although customers can obtain a hat simply by purchasing the newspaper, a token will also be printed in paper to be used as proof-of-purchase for Home Delivery customers and customers who choose to collect their hat at a different outlet to where they purchase the paper. The token can also be used for customers wishing to collect their hat after Sunday January 22 (subject to available stock). Should you have stock remaining at the close of trading on Sunday, please either pass it on to your subagents or use the stock to honour any token brought into your shop in subsequent days by customers who have purchased the Sunday Herald Sun.
Sub Retailers
We ask that you supply any newsagency sub retailers in your territory with hats. As a simple guide, if the outlets look like a newsagency to a customer, then they should have stock.
Safeway, Coles, Coles Express, Woolworths Petrol, 7-Eleven, Big W and head office owned Caltex stores will be allocated supplies under the terms of their Direct Relationship Agreements, which servicing newsagents are required to deliver. Outlets for BP and Caltex will also participate and will need to be allocated supplies out of your stock as will any other sub agents you wish to supply.
Due to the fact many newsagents trade only limited hours on a Sunday, it is important that you consider your own circumstances when deciding which sub agents to supply stock to and in what quantities. It would make sense to retain a quantity of hats for collection by home delivery customers however you should not hold back excessive stock of the hats for your shop if your shop only trades for limited hours on a Sunday.
As the hats are free, you will not be charged and we do not require you to send any returns back to us. Any spare hats however can be given to your Area Manager when they call on your newsagency in the metro area.
A fax will be sent at the end of the promotion asking you to advise us of any stock remaining. Please complete this, as it will assist us in setting allocations for future promotions.
Thank you for your support,
Mike Webster

Verizon Wireless launches PEBL-like Motorola W315
As Verizon claims, its new Motorola W315 looks sophisticated at a low price; it is GPS-capable CDMA/AMPS phone with small (96x32-pixels) external Black&White display and 128x160-pixels color internal one. The phone lacks camera and other modern features but comes for just $29.99 after 2-year contract. Unfortunately the otherwise cute clamshell has external antenna, unlike its GSM brother (the original PEBL U6), which gives for its bigger size and uglier look.

|Hiya, My name is Darzee_, and I am a 51197 hour old Gelert. I have a fantastic owner called yolanduky, who takes great care of me. The name Gelert is after a famous hero who died for his owner. All Gelerts are very proud of their heritage and try to be as loyal and trustworthy as they can.
So what is a day in the life of Darzee_ the Gelert really like? Well I like to start off with a big breakfast,
my favourite is a big bowl of hot soup (especially minestrone or sausage and bean) followed by a generous helping of
Jam on Toast. Then I either play with my toys for a few hours or run errands for yolanduky.
Around lunch time I like to pay a visit to the Soup Kitchen. Ever since yolanduky told me stories about Neopets who can't afford to eat I like to help out in the Soup Kitchen. The poor Soup Faerie is ever so busy and can always do with an extra pair of paws to feed the endless line of starving Neopets. After a couple of hours the lunch time rush dies down and I say good bye to the Soup Faerie (she is ever so pretty you know!).
Then I either play some more, or read a new book for a few hours. I am trying to read all the books in Neopia, although I have quite a long way to go.
If I am really lucky yolanduky will take me out adventuring. I exploring new places and it is surprising how many extraordinary areas there are just in Neopia Central! We try to go to Mystery Island once a week, the beach is just SOOOOOO much fun. If you haven't been yet, you really need to go.
Well now you know all about me, why not NeoMessage yolanduky
and tell my owner all about you. We love to meet new friends, maybe
we can have a friendly match in the Battledome some day?
*A black gelertess with a white muzzle, cheeks, chest, and stomach herds a group of baabaas. Her legs are white as well and her ears are a little shorter than most gelerts. She wears a red collar. She sees you and continues to herd the baabaas into a fenced pasture before padding up to you, panting. "Hello," she says. "I'm Darzee." Someone wistles. She perks her ears. "Gotta go, bye!!!" She takes off running.*
****.....After a while, she comes back panting. Nevertheless, a smile spreads across her face. "Yes, you'll soon find there's lots more to learn about me. However, I don't have time to put it ALL here right now. So I'll just list some of it. I'm extremely busy herding the baabaas here, so I'll have to make it quick. If I talk too fast for you to understand then just talk to Nagaira. She knows all about me, escpecially since she's my twin!" She smiles and says VERY quickly,"Okay, my friends are Nagaira, who is also my twin sister, and Dita, my brother, and Rio, my aisha sis, and Galwayon, the skunk gelert. Nagaira looks exactly like me, so no need to say much more except her personality is a little different from mine. Go to her webpage to learn about her. Dita, my brother, is adopted and resembles my sister and I. He is very cool and loves herding baabaas, but not as much as I do. I spend all day out here with Mom, sometimes Galwayon, and the baabaas!!!! Rio is a very sweet aishaess whom Mom also adopted from the pound. Go to her lookup to see a piccy of her." She takes in a big breath, tired of talking so fast, then continues,"Galwayon.....he is my very best friend....perhaps someday something more than a friend...." She clears her throat and adds,"He is a very sweet skunk gelert who also loves herding baabaas. We share the same interests and spend all day with the baabaas. He also competes in the beauty contest. His owner is a very talented arteest. ^.^ Please vote for Galwayon!!!!!"
Gotta go!" She takes off again, hard at work.****
Galwayon ish meh boyfriend. He's very sweet. The babaa in the picture is his babaa, Layos. I gave it to him when we first met. :) He likes herding stuff, too. He's lots of fun, and his owner is very nice. When Dita had the sneezles, Galwayon's owner gave him a magic cooki. ^.^ [Fank you, by the way!!!!!] Galwayon, Nagaira, and I are the only [that we know of] border gelerts[as Omusubi calls them.^.^]. Dita is a mix, but I think he has some border gelert in him. He's got the black and white long fur. *shrug* Anyways, more about Galwayon. He's nice and gets along with pretty much everybody. I don't see how anyone could dislike him. He has a brother named Kitto, a sister named Seetaa, and another sister named Scoop.

And good luck to him! Training for the RCMP is tough. I wish him the best.
If that's the case, I'll give you a bit of advice, which you can take or not. Most people don't realize they're allowed to actually think before they speak in a situational interview (or a lot of other times). By that, I mean...a question is posed to you, you can formulate your thoughts before you actually answer it. Analyze the question. Don't OVERthink it, but certainly think about your answer before you speak. A lot of people think they have to have the "right answer" instantly. Sometimes, there IS no right answer, and most of the time, it's not an instant one.
They actually say the same thing on the interview tips on their site, and also what my boyfriend told me. I'm glad cause sometimes I gotta think a little bit for those ones haha.

Although generally acclaimed upon its first release -- the New York Film Critics nominated it for best picture, director and screenplay -- Career has lost a lot of punch over the intervening years. Much of the problem is that the film focuses on a milieu -- the backstage world of the theatre - that is overly familiar to many audiences. The screenplay does provide an interesting twist; whereas most films of this stripe allow the protagonist to "make it" halfway through the film, Career's Sam Lawson struggles from beginning to end. The film also gingerly comes out against the McCarthyite blacklist, but this seems more grafted on than truly sincere. Otherwise, there's little that's fresh to the screenplay, although many of the scenes are dramatically effective, even if trite, and there is some potent dialogue handed out along the way. Among the cast, Anthony Franciosa gives what is arguably the finest and most powerful performance of his career, and Carolyn Jones is touching and affecting. Shirley MacLaine takes advantage of the showier part of the alcoholic love interest, and Dean Martin turns in one of his better, more committed performances. Career also benefits from an accomplished team of designers, especially Joseph La Shelle, whose careful lensing provides atmosphere and tension to the story. MacLaine and Martin had worked together before (Some Came Running)and would again in several more films, including Oceans Eleven.

Cindy Crawford on Child Birth on My Best Birth
Cindy Crawford Delivered Her Baby, Who Delivered Yours?
When someone asks me who delivered my baby, I don't hesitate to tell them Dr. Joe. They know that I pushed the child out, but they want to know which professional helped me labor through the process. In Cindy Crawford's fourth and final episode of her My Best Birth webisodes, the model mommy explained how having a midwife at home truly gave her the ability to claim that she, and she alone, delivered her baby. While I get what she's saying, I wonder if some might find her proclamation a bit insulting. Are those who received medical help or had their babies in hospitals any less owning of the action of "delivering"? And what about mothers who required emergency C-sections? Watch the quick clip and tell me what you think of Cindy's perspective.

This was a big hit for Thanksgiving. I will make this again for family gatherings. The pear and cranberries were a great combination.

Our therapists will provide you with an appointment within 1-2 weeks of your call.
Individual Psychotherapy
Receive professional counseling for relationship stressors and issues. By attending individual counseling for relationship issues, you have more time to address and resolve your personal stressors, problems, conflicts, and past traumas. Some examples of why people seek individual counseling for relationship problems are as follows:
· Recent Break Up
· Separation
· Divorce
· Abandonment by a partner
Going through relationship problems might cause some of the following symptoms:
Low mood and/or depression: manifesting as a loss of interest, not being able to enjoy things, feeling sad, having low motivation and low energy. At times low mood can be accompanied by changes in sleep, appetite and sex drive.
Feeling worried or anxious: worrying about the present and the future, feeling irritable or edgy, and getting easily frustrated.
Couples and Marriage Counseling
We are here to help you heal and re-establish your relationship. The following are some of examples why couples would search for professional help;
Communication problems : This includes difficulties handling and resolving disagreements, ongoing misunderstandings due to assuming what the other person is thinking, negative non – verbal communication, not being able to reach your partner, and chronically feeling misunderstood.
Infidelity: This includes emotional infidelity and/or sexual infidelity. Please know sometimes individual counseling sessions are recommended along with couple sessions to help you maximize your chance to heal.
Broken trust: Inability to move on from the past, whether your own relationship past or your current relationship's past.
Blended family problems: Difficulties blending your and your partner's families including difficulties with individual members of the families knowing and understanding their new roles as well as the need to learn how to communicate with other and with each other's previous partners.
Premarital disagreements: Difference in opinions and/or beliefs that interfere with your ability to fully commit to your fiancé.
We are here to offer individualized, professional help to you and your partner to reach your goals.
Please feel free to e-mail or call us to get help and take advantage of our free 15 minute phone consultation (to be scheduled with a counselor after your initial call).
