Javert survives the Seine and finds redemption. Javert/Original Character
after, Victoria and Javert paid their respects at the cemetery. Javert regretted that he'd never
sought the former convict out---not to bring him to justice--No...justice had long since been
served---but Javert might have voiced his gratitude for the gift of redemption Valjean had offered
Victoria hung back for a moment before approaching the humble gravesite. "Would you prefer to go
alone?" She asked earnestly. "I would certainly understand." Javert paused, studying her face.
"She IS an angel." He determined, and said, "No, I'd rather prefer you were with me."
They stood quietly by the grave for several minutes. Victoria knew that Javert's thoughts and
feelings at the moment were his own, and she would never interfere.
"So many regrets." Javert whispered, mostly to himself. Victoria simply clasped his hand, and they
left without another word.
As they left the cemetery, Javert vowed to himself that there would be no more such regrets. His life
had irrevocably changed, and the change was, Javert was sure, for the better. He had never
experienced such lightness of spirit. More than anything else, Victoria was responsible for that. Her
youth and hopefulness, in spite of her own heartbreak, had an amazing, uplifting effect. It was beyond
reason that she should choose to remain in his company. Javert hoped that would never change.

Here are the top ten games of week 12:
10. Florida at #10 South Carolina – 6:00 p.m. ESPN 2
Florida is a train wreck on offense right now, and the worst Gator team that I can remember. But it's still Steve Spurrier facing his old team, and that's always worth a peak.
9. Oregon State at #19 Arizona State – 8:30 p.m. PAC12 Network
Late night PAC12 football…need I say more?
8. Syracuse at #2 Florida State – 2:30 ABC/ESPN2
Will the Jameis Winston police investigation distracted the Noles? I say no, but you never know.
Syracuse isn't a bad team; they've won two in a row, and have nothing to lose in this game. The Orange could make it interesting.
7. Georgia Tech at #8 Clemson – Thursday 6:30 p.m. ESPN
The ACC Coastal is still wide-open, but Georgia Tech has to win this game to stay atop the Coastal. Clemson meanwhile, still has hopes of winning out, and earning a BCS at-large.
6. Washington at #13 UCLA – Friday 8:00 p.m. ESPN2
This game also has conference championship implications. Washington is out of the PAC12 race, but UCLA is a game back of Arizona State and the Bruins keep it that way.
FYI: UCLA plays Arizona State next week.
5. #23 Miami at Duke - 2:30 p.m. ESPNU
The Hurricanes left it all on the field in Tallahassee, but Miami is still in the hunt for the ACC Coastal.
Duke is a team that has really surprised me. What a coaching job David Cutcliffe (Ole Miss should have never fired him). The Blue Devils are 7-2 and dreaming of a BCS at-large bid! Never hurts to dream right?
4. #16 Michigan State at Nebraska – 2:30 p.m. ABC/ESPN 2
This is a big…BIG10 showdown. The winner of this game will take over 1st place in the BIG10 Legends division. The question for this one will be…can that stout Spartan defense shut down Nebraska Ameer Abdullah?
3. #12 Oklahoma State at #24 Texas – 2:30 p.m. Fox
How about Texas? I'm starting to buy the Longhorns. I thought this team was toast after their 1-2 start, but they've won their last 6! But the Cowboys will be their biggest test.
2. #4 Stanford at USC – 7:00 p.m. ABC
Will Stanford have a hangover? Can USC take advantage of it? The Trojans have really improved and opened it up after the firing of Lane Kiffin.
Stanford is clearly the better team on paper, but we've seen teams fall in this situation before.
1. #25 Georgia at #7 Auburn – 2:30 p.m. CBS
Can the Bulldogs knock off the Tigers in the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry?
Auburn has the top rushing offensive in the SEC, but Georgia has one of the top rushing defenses in the league. The Bulldogs will also be looking to run with Todd Gurley.
This game will be won in the trenches, and I think it will come down to the final possession.

Jack The Ripper Enigma Pt.3/6
- -Marduk-
- uploaded: Sep 28, 2008
- Hits: 3268
The victims were women allegedly earning income as prostitutes. The murders were perpetrated in public or semi-public places at night or in the early morning. The victim's throat was cut, after which the body was mutilated. Theories suggest the victims were first strangled in order to silence them, which also explained the reported lack of blood at the crime scenes. The removal of internal organs from three of the victims led some officials at the time of the murders to propose that the killer possessed anatomical or surgical knowledge.

Topic - Grivel X Monster picks
Shacks - on 21 Jan 2013
I have a pair of Grivel X-Monster axes and I am replacing the picks on them. Due to the ends being hammered over, I've had to drill the heads off the bolts. I am about to fit the new picks but as I have 2 trips away, I don't want to hammer over the ends of the bolts as I want to be able to remove the picks before putting them in my rucksack for the plane trips there and home again. I was thinking of fitting A2 stainless nyloc nuts instead of the nuts that come with the new picks. I know I would have to check that the nuts weren't coming loose while climbing but I am wondering if anyone have any thoughts on possible problems with doing this? Thanks.

Posts tagged: guns
First, we have issues in Spokane with overuse of power; then the mayor says that police are not going to respond to personal property crimes; then we have to protect ourselves; then nutso people run rampage with guns and kill several children; then we start campaigning about the right to own firearms; then someone comes into our yard and steals our car (albeit, we enabled them by having the key in it and having it running); and finally, we shoot that person and kill them.
And at the same time, a former mayoral candidate of Tuscon, Arizona has launched a prifately funded program to provide residents of crime-prone areas with free shotguns to protect themselves. http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2013/mar/28/program-would-provide-free-shotguns/
I have mixed emotions on this. We should never lose our right to protect ourselves nor lose the right to bear arms. Somehow, judgment needs to come into play.
My heart goes out to all the families impacted by the event here in Spokane.
What is the solution?
A Belated Good Afternoon, Netizens…
In this cartoon presented by cartoonist David Horsey, it might appear as if he were doing no favors to the members of the National Rifle Association, since they ostensibly would approve of bringing guns to a Presidential event if not anywhere God-fearing, gun-packing citizens feel guns are necessary.
However, as someone who once had an elderly Aunt who was a registered member of the NRA, my first question would be, what about the Women of the NRA?
I guess if having a small penis is a prerequisite for bringing guns to a Presidential event, one could state with some degree of candor that some women figuratively do have small penises, too. Very small, that is.
At least we tentatively do understand who would bring guns to a Presidential event and can proceed on that basis.

How To Achieve The Amelie Style?
Good Questions
Q: I've just moved to the west coast and I want to capture the ornate, charming, quirky and unique style of films like Amelie. I'm looking for help identifying things that are required for more practical purposes, like laundry hampers, trash bins, etc. I would be really grateful if anyone could share online sources for things like that.
Sent by Liz
Editor: Leave your suggestions for Liz in the comments - thanks!
• Got a question? Email yours with pic attachments here (those with pics get answered first)
37 Comments
I think the essence of rooms/homes that have successfully "quirky" style is the fact that they seem to develop naturally. Instead of trying to hunt down items, I'd personally suggest taking the time to just let yourself come across them. When you see a piece that you really love -- buy it. If you aren't totally in love, and it doesn't fully reflect part of who you are-- then leave it alone. Frequent yard sales, flea markets, craigslist, ebay, etsy, and salvation army for unique finds instead of typical big box stores. Whimsy isn't something you can really ask folks to source...
MyAliya's comment is totally spot-on.
I join Aliya too. But I'll try to give you some interesting pix of Parisian stuff found in the Amelie movie (Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain, on of my fave movies).
Well said, MyAliya.
laundry hampers, trash bins = think outside the box! A laundry hamper can be anything that holds things, and a trash bin can be anything that holds thing AND is wipe clean.
I don't know if this is helpful, but have you seen the "living in" section of design sponge? Here is the Amelie post: http://www.designspongeonline.com/2010/08/living-in-amelie.html
I absolutely agree with MyAliya. I also remember thinking, while I was watching the movie, that her appartment looked like that of my grandmother, saturated colours and old looking things. So, beyond and appart from looking for what makes your heart sing, check the flea markets or look for materials like tin (storage for the knicknacks), enamel (kitchen utensils) and glass, wood and of course porcelain (oh, the possibilities). Hope this helps a bit.
I agree with frequenting flea markets, thrift stores, goodwill, salvation army, yard/garage sales.
I would add that you can also find some fun and quirky stuff on UrbanOutfitters.com and ModCloth.com
Other than that, think outside the box a little bit too, like AnnabelVita said. Repurpose some of your fun finds in unexpected ways.
I love that stuff too! Good luck and have fun evolving the style! :)
P. S. AT just posted a House Tour that was really cool. You could use it for inspiration: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chicago/amy-keiths-candycoated-dollhouse-house-tour-145181
yes, websites like urbanoutfitters, enthropolgies and wisteria have funky accessories.
anthropologie for high end, urban outfitters for mid-range and fleamarkets/thrift stores for cheap.
Huh, if you frequent yard sales, flea markets, craigslist, ebay, etsy, and salvation army etc., are you then not hunting?!
Anyway, the Amélie style is about old stuff, lots of saturated colours - particularly red and green - different patterns and stuff that doesn't match.
basicfrenchonline.com has small housewares, linens, etc. great stuff.
I was always really inspired by her apartment too! I agree its really a labor of love to achieve, Ive done alot of buying lamps and mirrors with good lines and either spray painting them or leaving them shabby depending. I feel like im almost there but you have to commit to hoarding little fabulous/beautiful junk! I always vote thrift stores, since the money usually goes to charity and its easier on the environment, plus amelie would approve of good deeds! best of luck!
My Question is, where to get those beautiful wallpapers! I have scoured the Internet looking for vintage French wallpaper but haven't found anything so bold or saturated.
if you watch the special features on the dvd they go into depth on the choices they made with set design. a key element was the red/green contrast. other than that i would say just collect romantic antique and vintage furniture and odds and ends. i always loved the paintings she had in her room. soo whacky. http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl2/6/61259/13_2009/2b2617d705c9cc49_michaelsowa.jpg
My favorite thing is her cobalt blue lampshade, so amazing...so hard to find!!
You can also find great dog portraits like hers on etsy and my series of art called gigi wouldnt be a bad addition either [plug] lol http://www.society6.com/studio/gigiseries
Anna Europe,
RE: "Huh, if you frequent yard sales, flea markets, craigslist, ebay, etsy, and salvation army etc., are you then not hunting?!"
no, actually.... hunting is MUCH different than simply browsing... in the same manner that "hunting" for a boyfriend/girlfriend is different than going out to a museum/bar/party/ gathering etc and just seeing what happens with no expectations...
start with a similar, bold color scheme and mix of mis-matched patterns. then just naturally develop the 'weird' factor during your visits to the flea market.
rini&muggins: that could be an interesting rit dye project!
@thecraftybandita: GOOD POINT!!! love it!
Agreed with everything already said, but another consideration is lighting.
The tone of the light throughout the movie is quite green, making everything look atmospheric and mysterious. Maybe a green lampshade or two will cast light that helps achieve the look.
Start by painting the window/ door trim and find an ornate jewel toned wallpaper. Incorporate gold mirrors, frames etc.
LOVE Amelie! :)
There is a website selling quirky homewares and the coolest lamps from France called http://www.goodgracious.co.uk
I have got some fab things from here!
It looks weird to me, but in case you want the same paintings: http://kingofsenses.blogspot.com/2011/02/paintings-on-amelie-poulins-apartment.html
I think we all have an intrinsic "style" within ourselves. Let passion do your picking.....one day you will step back and look around you and you will see yourself.
I disagree with MyAliya. What's the point of a design blog to ask for tips if the advice is "get you own style"?
because it's a bit tragic to see someone about to cross the thin line between authentically quirky and contrived...apartment therapy, to my knowledge, isn't about copying what you see...it's about infusing different elements and inspiration into one's own living space to create a home that is as unique as the dweller(s).
Liz wrote: "I want to capture the ornate, charming, quirky and UNIQUE style of films like Amelie" -- so my advice to her is to look around and wait for items that speak to her... that way it doesn't look like she raided her local anthropologie/urban outfitters. I totally stand by what I said to her. It wasn't snarky or condescending -- I myself am still in the never-ending process of finding my personal style. But asking someone how to make one's home look like someone else's isn't really going to help -- with purchases from all of the "right" stores, eventually Liz's home might look like Amelie's...but isn't the point for Liz's home to look like Liz's?
But Oddly, Urbancricket -- you've seemed to miss the obvious: Liz was asking for online sources to shop at, not a deconstruction of the aesthetic. :)
Obviously the look CAN be re-created. No one argued that...
I adore the movie and it has inspired my style a bit. I agree with making yourself available to all sorts of resources and you'll find peices that reflect you. In watching the commentary with Jean Pierre Jeunet, he revealed that a lot of inspiration for the sets came from painter Juarez Machado and his use of colors. You can see how they would throw in blue objects on a mostly red set, etc. Maybe you should check out the artist for inspiration too.
Hello! I am European and live in Europe, so I can't give you any advice about antique stores in your area but I can tell you that I have visited many houses all across Europe with rooms that looked like Amelie's. In fact, there isn't anything peculiarly French about the decoration, despite the combination of red and green colour, pretty obviously inspired by Modigliani's painting (Modigliani was Italian, by the way, although he became a symbol of Montparnasse and Paris).
So I'll try to be more concrete:
1. You'll need a metal headboard. Some of the items you can find here would do it: http://www.headboardstore.com/Metal.htm
2. Frames: Just ANY frames - old ones or from Ikea - that tou can decorate yourself with gold leaf: http://www.ehow.com/how_7790499_make-gold-mirror.html
3. Red Wallpaper: http://www.creativewallcovering.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=COLORSRCH&&color=_10_ They have over 400 to choose! Use it only on one wall if your room ist too dark.
4. Green and white accents: Go cheap! You can repurpose green wine bottles as vases or candle holders (which is, I think, an all-European-boheme-must).
5. Kitchen: Get one of those curtains! http://practicalenrichment.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/amelie_460.jpg I think Mexicans use them too, so I imagine they're not difficult to find in the United States.
6. Try to recreate a chess pattern with the tiles in your kitchen or bathroom: http://practicalenrichment.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/amelie-kitchen.jpg You don't even need tiles to do it, just tile-tattoos, or you can paint them yourself (and you can do it only on a line or two).
7. Paint some of your doors in dark colours (dark red or bottle green).
And when you have all these "basics", then you should listen to Aliya and be patient, waiting to find objects (lamps, whatever) that you really like and maybe mean something special for you. My idea would be to reacreate Amelie's "spaces" but filling them with your own objects and personality.
I'm looking forward to see the results! Please post pictures!
Vintage ice buckets make nice trash bins for small baths and powder rooms.
PS: I have some French, Italian and Spanish vintage posters in my kitchen and bathroom and I found them in ebay. I think they are very "Amelie" too, like this one http://cgi.ebay.de/11-FRENCH-AMER-BITTER-RED-CAT-VINTAGE-POSTER-/140532613868?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b86582ec
or this one http://urbancidades.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/galcol-1.jpg
Try this! http://www.casasugar.com/Get-Look-Amelies-Bedroom-2972947
Aliya - I agree!
Miss Cosas - great comments!!
I Think focusing on either textures or a palate is a good place to start. Often it is one or both of these things in a place that inspire us. So if you love colors in amelie's bedroom, start there. If you love all the clashing textures, go with that. On a 'sacvaning note' I have a favorite thrift store I visit every week. Sometimes there is nothing, but one week I found an old chandelier, copper teapot, a great chair. For non thrift, google POSH chicago.

In the middle of eighteenth (18th) century the Spanish Jesuit Missionary transferred its Catholic Mission to PASO CAŃA (Bamboo Pass). This name was attributed to the abundance of bamboo trees that grew along the river banks and in many other places in the area. Paso cańa was the name of the place until the first Chapel was constructed by the first Jesuit Missionary Priest in Eighteen Sixty Seven (1867) who change the name to LAS MERCEDES in honor of the Patron Saint of Mercedarian who inspired the redemption and recovery of many Christian captives in the hands of the Moors during the reign of Don Jaime de Aragon, the king of Spain.
From then on, the place was named Las Mercedes until the enactment of the COMMONWEALTH ACT No. 39 series of 1937 were it became one of the ninety eight (98) barangays of the City of Zamboanga as Barangay MERCEDES.
Mercedes is situated at the north eastern part of the City of Zamboanga. It is about 12.75 kilometers and around 15 to 20 minutes ride from the city proper. It is bounded by Barangay Talabaan on the east, Barangay Zambowood on its West, Mangrove and Seacoast on the South and Barangays Culianan and Pasobolong on the North. It is composed of six zones, zone 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 with five known Sitios (sites) called View Island, Balinsungay, Lumbayao, Mulu-Muluan, and Bilang-bilang.

Barangay Mercedes has a total land area of 1,288.56 hectares, originally 30% of which is composed of rice fields, 68% are distributed among crop lands and 2% mangroves and fishponds. With its mostly plane terrain, Mercedes is fast becoming a residential site, where crop lands are currently being converted to residential subdivision. The Dońa Felisa Subdivision, Rosita's Subdivision and Blue Homes are amongst the first to venture into real estate development in the barangay.
The combined total number of housing units to be constructed is placed at around nine hundred (900), and upon the completion of these projects the population as well as the number of households in the barangay is expected to exceed 11,500 and 2000 respectively. To-date there are still several pending applications for real estate development in the barangay.
The population is of mixed religion and culture, estimated at around eighty percent (80%) Christians residing mostly within the first five zones of the barangay and twenty percent (20%) Muslims predominantly staying in zone 6, Sitio Mulu-Muluan and Bilang-bilang. The Christians are about eighty five percent (85%) native Mercedeńos while fifteen percent (15%) are migrants from Luzon, Visayas, Basilan and other parts of Mindanao.
The Barangay has a Catholic Church, a Mosque, a convent and a novitiate for ladies who wish to enter sisterhood, a Day Care Center, two health centers, Police Assistance Center, the regional headquarters of the Philippine National Police R-IX, three public Elementary and Primary Schools and a National High School.

Melt chocolate with milk or cocoa without seizing?
Hi -- I know that small amounts of liquid can cause chocolate to seize, and I know how to rescue it once it's happened. But I'm trying to figure out how to bring together melted chocolate and milk without it seizing. I'm making ice cream, and the recipes say to melt the chocolate in a double boiler and then whisk in the milk. When I try that, it immediately seizes.
I've read lots of articles on this, and most say it has to do with the difference in temperatures between the chocolate and the milk. I've tried heating the milk to the same temperature as the melted chocolate first (both were about 120 degrees F), but it still seized when I poured the milk into the chocolate. And I also tried heating the milk first and then adding the hard chocolate to it, but then I ended up with chocolate milk with tiny bits of hard chocolate in it, like tiny chocolate chips that refused to melt. I've read about tempering things like egg yolks first by adding a small amount of melted chocolate to it, but I don't think that's going to work with 2 cups of milk. I've also read about adding oil to the chocolate first, but that doesn't sound like a great idea for ice cream. The only other thing I can think of is to heat both the cold milk and the hard chocolate together at the same time, but I haven't tried it yet.
Also, I occasionally have to add dry cocoa powder to melted chocolate, and I have the same problem there. Since there's no liquid in cocoa powder, I'm not sure why it seized, or what to do to prevent it.
Anyone have a fool-proof way to do this? Thanks!
How much milk and chocolate are you using? If there is enough milk, you can heat it up first and pour it over chopped chocolate to melt it. If it's two cups of milk, that should do it. You could also do as you suggested, cold milk and chocolate over a double boiler, stir frequently. I have no idea about cocoa making it seize, though. I'd also probably start both cocoa and hard chocolate over a double boiler.
I second heating the milk to a simmer then pouring it over chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes, then stir to blend. I do that with cream when I make ganache.
One (or many) things have happened when chocolate seizes:
1. Water has been introduced to melting chocolate.
2. The chocolate overheated, or the temperature fluctuated too rapidly (many times people mistake seizing for what is really burning - so use a double boiler and you should be okay)
3. Really cold liquids have been added to melting chocolate.
4. You've added too little liquid to the chocolate (although this isn't necessarily true because I've added small amount of milk/cream to chocolate with no problems....)
I'm not sure why your chocolate-cocoa mixture would be seizing... You should try not adding the cocoa straight to melted chocolate, but rather putting the cocoa in the melted chocolate mixture that you have already made with other liquids. I haven't seen any recipes where you add cocoa straight to the melted chocolate.
Are you whisking vigourously when you add the warm milk to the chocolate? Make sure to start whisking in the middle in small tight circles, then work your way around to the outside of the bowl. At first, it might seem like the two will not come together, but it definitely should. Another idea would be to put the melted chocolate in a food processor, add the milk and pulse it till it's emulsified.
You should have no problem if you put everything together in a bowl over a pot of hot/simmering water until the chocolate is just about melted. I've also heard that it's best NOT to stir or whisk too much, but I'm not sure why. I usually put the chocolate/milk/cream/butter all in at the same time, then give a stir now and again with a chopstick or knife. Take off the heat just before all the chocolate is melted.
I don't see why you couldn't heat them together. Heat the milk and the chocolate at the same time. This also works in the microwave. Last night I put equal amounts of cream and choc chips on a bowl, microwaved it for about a minute, then stirred it together. (I made the chocolate malt pie in BH&G this month last night. If you make it, add more malt)
I've been reading a lot about the reasons for seizing, but nothing about what happened to my 'warmed cream and melted choc.' (in microwave on half) receipte (for 'icing'). My mixture was beautifully smooth, then I decided to improve it (as it that was even possible!) by beating. Whoa! It went all funny ... and the more I beat it, the more it went like that. All shardy and lumpy. So why did simply beating it do that? I'm going to try the whole recipe which was for a choc. cake, again today. Don't know how long it take folk to reply.
re: jinaL
I'm not sure exactly what your recipe said to do, but I make icing from ganache by beating room temperature ganache with a hand mixer. Perhaps, the reason yours did that was because when you beat it, the mixture was still too hot. The crystalline structure won't set in chocolate until it is lower than ~98* (I don't have the exact temp on hand right now). So, if you whip it when it's still hot, you may have changed the structure of the mixture. This is just my conjecture, though.
U have to use a double boiler instead of using milk because of uer seizing problem use (heavy wiping cream) heat uer cream up first until the cream boils then add the chocolate and cool then use tell me how that turns out

The men who kidnapped Michel had the identity cards of military men, but they were criminals released by Assad at the start of the revolution to serve as mercenaries. They saw wealthy gay men like Michel as lucrative sidelines, vulnerable to blackmail — or worse.
While a fragile zone of tolerance existed for wealthy, urban gay men, there was never such respite for the poor or the trans.
Really great piece about non-cishetero refugees from Syria, which largely side-steps the orientalism pieces about the Middle East often fall into.

THE SEATTLE Irish community welcomed Michael Collins, the Irish ambassador to the United States, on June 8-9. This visit was indeed historic as this was the first official visit by an Irish ambassador to Washington State since 1987.

SEATTLE The visit by Ambassador Michael Collins was indeed historic as this was the first official visit by an Irish Ambassador to Washington State since 1987.
The main purpose of his visit was to connect with Seattles Irish community and also to launch Irish Network Seattle, a new Seattle-area chapter of Irish Network-USA (www.IrishNetwork-USA.com).
When Irish Taoiseach Brian Cowan was in Washington, DC, in March, he announced the launch of Irish Network USA., to enable Irish people to take advantage of the great opportunities to be had from networking with one another. Irish Network Seattle will be part of that framework. For more information, visit www.IrishNetwork-Seattle.com.
Irish Ambassador Michael Collins was in Seattle on June 8-9 and over the course of the two scheduled-packed days, he was busy representing Ireland and meeting Seattles Irish community at speaking engagements, luncheons and receptions.
After the last of the June publication was distributed, yours truly made a flying trip to Seattle to take in the last night of the ambassadors visit. Ambassador Collins was honoured at a reception at F X McRorys restaurant along with his lovely wife Marie.
The ambassador was also accompanied by Gerry Staunton, Consul General of Ireland for the Western United States based in San Francisco.
John Keane the recently appointed Honorary Consul of Ireland for Seattle and Washington State, was kept busy arranging the itinerary for the ambassador and introducing him to the Seattle Irish community.
Serving as honorary consul is only one of the many hats that John Keane wears. He is involved in just about everything that is Irish in Seattle and he knows the Irish community on a personal basis you could say that he is the green pages for the Seattle Irish community, he is also known as Mr. Ireland.
When Ambassador Michael Collins spoke at the full house at F X McRorys restaurant, it was very clear that he thoroughly enjoyed his visit to Seattle and meeting the many Irish in the community. It was also very evident from the long lines of people who waited to shake the Ambassadors hand and have a few words with him that the feeling was mutual.
The ambassador spoke about the 70 million people who claim Irish ancestry in the United States. He said, to be the Irish Ambassador anywhere is a great honour, but particularly to the United States.
Speaking with John Keane about the ambassadors visit, he said, the ambassador was delighted with his visit and he accomplished the main reasons for his visit.
He didnt have a free minute. We had meetings with Washington Governor Christine Gregoire in Olympia, he met with the World Affairs Council, and had a meeting with the editorial board of The Seattle Times.
He visited the university and spoke with the faculty and students, attended an Irish seniors luncheon, and a business seminar on the Microsoft Campus.
He attended a reception with members of the Seattle Irish community. Really, Ambassador Collins did not have time for any sightseeing tours as his schedule was so tightly packed with activities.
The Seattle Irish community will long remember the visit by Ambassador Michael Collins. I had the distinct feeling that it will not take another 23 years for the next Irish ambassadors visit to Seattle.

From Smoot-Hawley to Reciprocal Trade Agreements: Changing the Course of U.S. Trade Policy in the 1930s
In: The Defining Moment: The Great Depression and the American Economy in the Twentieth Century
AbstractFour years after passing the infamous Smoot-Hawley tariff in 1930, Congress enacted the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act (RTAA), which gave the president the authority to undertake tariff-reduction agreements (without Congressional approval) with foreign countries. The resulting trade agreements reduced U.S. tariffs and culminated in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1947. Was the Great Depression responsible for bringing about this fundamental shift in U.S. trade policy? This paper analyzes the changes in U.S. trade policy during this period and argues that (i) the Depression as an international phenomenon motivated the unprecedented Congressional delegation of tariff-making powers, (ii) economic changes more the result of World War II than the Depression blunted Republican opposition to the RTAA and ensured its post-war survival.

fall out boy
Showing 15 posts tagged fall out boy
Quick quiz: Name a predominantly male rock band in the last few years that has cracked the top 40 by way of their unabashed and straightforward pop sensibilities. It's hard to do. Fall Out Boy was one such band — they operated at a very unique intersection of punk, rock and pop, which became particularly pronounced in the second half of their career.
Leaving aside the nitty gritty of gender politics for now, it's fairly uncontroversial to say that pop music is generally thought of as female in its aesthetic, and rock music as male. Fall Out Boy was one of those rare bands that managed to keep a foot on each side of that line of scrimmage.
Rather than steal her words, I'll leave it to the Village Voice's inimitable Maura Johnston to synthesize these thoughts, as she did in this excellent interview with NPR in 2009 on the overlooked music of the year. Give it a listen.
RAZ: It seems like, Maura - and I hate to crash your party here because you're calling this one of your favorite albums of the decade - but these guys are sort of trying to be an alternative, indie version of a boy band.
JOHNSTON: No, I don't think that at all. I don't think that at all. I think they're a really good rock band that's sort of in a weird place for bands that are rock but that have pop sensibilities. I mean, if you look at the rock charts right now, Alice in Chains, you know, who are one of the…
RAZ: The Seattle grunge…
JOHNSTON: Seattle grunge bands, like, they're still topping the modern rock chart, and a lot of bands operating in that idiom are still controlling the rock charts.
And, you know, it's just a weird sort of glitch of the system right now, like women sing pop and men do rock. And for any man to sort of bridge that gap on radio right now is a tough haul.

Fall Out Boy || Beat It (Cover)
Homages to M.J. abound in this very, very well-produced video that aired on MTV a few years ago. (It even includes a cameo by Tony Hale, Arrested Development's Buster Bluth!) It's pretty entertaining how well Patrick Stump's vocals match Jackson's, and the melody lends itself perfectly to the major-chord progressions that are Fall Out Boy's home turf.
Shortly after the release of Fall Out Boy's 2007 LP, Infinity on High, Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz conducted this interview with Popworld. It's mostly fluff, right up until the 2:20 moment, where they're asked what "emo" is, and why noone wants to be associated with that label. They both give pretty good answers, and Wentz finds a convincing way to work a Lil Wayne namecheck into the conversation.

Shortly after I began working for the (now-magazine-less) Paste, my managing editor Nick Marino posted a quickie listicle to the website, which would end up becoming one of the site's most-commented articles. The topic? Fall Out Boy, natch. More specifically, it was hot on the heels of the release of their last studio album, Folie à Deux, and gave some excellent layman's reasons why Fall Out Boy is such a great band.
Presented in full, "Six Reasons Why Fall Out Boy Does Not Suck as Much as You Think:"
One of the most unfairly maligned bands in all the land, Fall Out Boy is despised for such sins as getting really popular and having a glammy showboat playing bass. At least one reviewer pouted that the band's addictive new album, Folie a Deux, is too ambitious.
Oh, please. Does anyone say that about Radiohead or Animal Collective, or any of the sanctified indie saints? Ambition is good. Ambition means you're trying. Ambition means you have ideas and want them to get a public airing (which is pretty much the essence of the creative impulse), so let's all take a deep breath and stop slapping around a band that's smarter and more fun than a lot of people are willing to admit.
Fall Out Boy deserves a break from the hateration for the following reasons:
1) Folie a Deux is outstanding. It has 13 songs, 10 of which are keepers. Two of the other three tracks (the late-album filler "W.A.M.S." and "West Coast Smoker") have interesting moments. The only song I really hate is the single, "I Don't Care," which says more about the state of the rock-singles market than it does about the state of this album. Top to bottom, it's loaded with smart, hooky anthems. If you, the rock 'n' roll fan, can't get behind "Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes," "Closers" or "20 Dollar Nose Bleed," something is wrong.
2) They have great taste in collaborators. Would Lil Wayne and Elvis Costello have agreed to guest on Folie a Deux if the band was so awful?
3) They're funny. They have a song called "Coffee's for Closers," a Glengarry Glen Ross reference that shouldn't be lost on the sanctimonious pop culture priests that worship David Mamet but think Pete Wentz is juvenile. Their new album cover features a picture of a boy in a bear suit carrying an actual bear on his back.
4) Bass-playing lyricist Wentz, whom we are supposed to hate because he's in love with lip-syncher Ashlee Simpson, is a charismatic guy, which is not as cool as being a sulky shoegazing tortured genius.
5) They're fair to their fans. When Folie a Deux came out, they made it available as a $3.99 download on their MySpace page. So much for major-label bands being slaves to their corporate masters. It's hard to think of Fall Out Boy as profiteering sellouts when they're selling their new album at a cut-rate price. (Yeah, they were probably selling it so cheap because that's what it's worth! Good one!)
6) They're an increasingly rare breed—that is, a massively popular rock band. Quick: Name three other American rock bands with members under 30 years old that can headline arenas. Can't do it? Try naming two. How about one?

A positive outcome for breast cancer patients
January 2012
LAKE OSWEGO, OregonAimed at preventing a recurrence of breast cancer in survivors in remission, biotechnology company Galena Biopharma has launched a clinical collaboration with Genentech/Roche and the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF) for the development of NeuVax (E75) to be used in combination with Herceptin (trastuzumab from Genentech/Roche).
The terms of the joint agreement call for Genentech and Galena to sponsor a randomized, blinded, multicenter Phase II clinical study in adjuvant breast cancer to approximately 300 patients within the first six months of 2012.
Earlier clinical studies presented by Galena Biopharma at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in June 2011 demonstrated promising results of NeuVax in combination with Herceptin, thus giving hope to breast cancer patients and survivors.
Mark J. Ahn, president and CEO of Galena Biopharma, stated, "The potential to expand on our upcoming Phase III program, as well as the validation of NeuVax by a leading biopharmaceutical company, continues to build value for patients and shareholders.
Participants in the study will be both military and civilian, with the study being conducted at 20 sites worldwide."
Since only 25 percent of patients are HER2-positive and eligible for Herceptin, "the remaining patients who are in remission after standard therapy (e.g., surgery, radiation, chemotherapy) are sent home to watch, wait and worry," Ahn tells ddn. "The larger population of patients not eligible for HerceptinHER1- and 2-positive or low to intermediateare eligible for NeuVax."
Furthermore, NeuVax "has shown promising results both alone as a monotherapy and in combination with Herceptin," says Ahn. "In a Phase II trial of 187 patients, 0 percent of the patients who received a full course of NeuVax treatment (one dose per month for six months and one dose every six months) had a recurrence, versus 23 percent of control patients."
In a combination study, none of the patients who received NeuVax and Herceptin had a recurrence, versus 11 percent who relapsed after getting Herceptin alone, he says.
At the 34th annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium Dec. 7, Galena announced five-year efficacy data from the ongoing NeuVax Phase II trial. During Poster Session 1, Galena delivered a presentation titled, "Long-term clinical benefit of adjuvant breast cancer vaccine: Five-year efficacy of E75 with multiple booster inoculations." The results of the current long-term median follow-up at 60 months showed that the NeuVax (E75 plus GM-CSF) breast cancer vaccine is safe and well tolerated, and demonstrates efficacy in preventing breast cancer recurrence in optimally dosed and boosted patients.
Of the 187 patients enrolled in the study, there were 108 in the vaccine group and 79 in the control group, according to Ahn. Of the 53 patients who received at least one booster inoculation, a statistically significant disease-free survival rate of 95.9 percent was seen versus 79.7 percent in the control group.
Several patients remain on study, and Galena estimates reporting final results of the five-year follow-up in the second half of 2012. For the combined intention-to-treat population, including those patients not getting boosters as well as those patients suboptimally dosed, a strong trend to prevention of recurrence was still observed, with the vaccine-treated patients demonstrating a disease-free survival rate of 89.4 percent versus the 79.7 percent in the control group.
"Five years of data is a significant milestone, and NeuVax continues to show a decrease in recurrences for these women with breast cancer who would otherwise have no treatment options to maintain their disease-free state," says Dr. Rosemary Mazanet, chief medical officer of Galena.
A major goal for Galena is to establish a development partner in 2012, Ahn says.
"We believe that NeuVax as an adjuvant treatment for low-to-intermediate HER2-positive breast cancer represents a blockbuster opportunity," Ahn says. "The Herceptin adjuvant treatment in the 25 percent of eligible patients alone registered about $2.4 billion in 2010 revenueswhile NeuVax targets a patient population over twice the size."

Canine Flu Alert!
Many of our clients have asked about the threat of canine influenza to their dogs. Canine flu is a highly contagious respiratory virus with nearly all dogs that are exposed becoming infected within a few days after exposure. This disease is highly contagious, so dogs that are around other dogs (boarding, grooming, dog shows, dog parks, contact with neighbors' dogs) are at increased risk.
About 80% of exposed dogs will go on to develop signs. Typical symptoms resemble those of kennel cough; a persistent cough (often accompanied by a nasal discharge). Some dogs go on to develop pneumonia and can become critically ill.
A new vaccine is available that can help reduce this risk. Please schedule an appointment today with one of our VCA veterinarians to discuss this emerging threat to your dog.

I HATED this product with a burning passion. I don't suffer from much dandruff or itching scalp, so this shampoo had no benefits to my hair.
I only ever apply shampoo to my roots, and this left my hair feeling very brittle and straw like. I have never had this happen to my hair before from using shampoo. And what also sucks is that the pairing conditioner doesn't moisturize your hair at all, so your hair is left more dry than before.
When I first used this, I really like the smell. But after using it for a while, I got sick of the smell and it lasts in your hair, for me personally, until your next wash.
I have relaxed hair, so my hair is very prone to losing moisture and this strips my hair of everything.

Definitely my HG shampoo! My hair is dry, frizzy, overprocessed, and breaks very easily, but it is also prone to oiliness at the roots--especially with the Texas humidity. 12 hours after washing my hair, and it already looks dirty again. But this product has worked wonders for me. I try to concentrate it only on my scalp and at the roots so that it won't further dry out the body of my hair, and it is phenomenal. The tingle can get really intense if you're really working it into your scalp or if your scalp is sensitive for any reason, so I don't recommend using it after color processes or if you have cuts/abrasions for whatever reason. An added benefit (and maybe TMI lol) is that it has seemed to have cleared up the acne I was getting on my scalp and around my hair line. I follow up by applying a super rich conditioner throughout the body of my hair, and I'm good to go oil wise for at least 2 days.My only complaint is that this shampoo strips color like no other--but then again, it doesn't claim to preserve color , so that's kind of my own personal problem. Overall, I definitely recommend.

I just finished up my first bottle of the "Tea Tree Special" Shampoo and it's definitely one of the best shampoos I've ever used. I love the scent...it's strong, but minty. Makes my hair SO shiny and clean! Maybe a little bit too clean if you have dry hair, but I have oily hair so it's okay. I would definitely buy this shampoo again, but I never stick with one shampoo. I'm always switching up what I use. Highly recommended if you want shiny, clean looking hair that smells like mint/tea tree oil.

I've been using the lavender/mint scented shampoo and conditioner in this line for about two months, and absolutely love it. I wash my hair at least 5-6 times each week, and have a ton of fine hair. My hair also gets oily quickly.
This shampoo/conditioner cleanses well without drying out my hair, and moisturizes without making my hair greasy. It also adds nice shine, and the scent is light but sticks around all day.
My only gripe is that I find it difficult to get conditioner out of the pump bottles once you're to the bottom few inches of product. The pump just stops working, and I have to add water to thin it out, shake it around, knock the conditioner out of the bottle, etc. etc. every morning in the shower. Thinning it out doesn't help the pump get moving again.

This line cures all my scalp issues. I have had dandruff for years...and a lot of shampoos make it worse (pantene, Loreal)...I was using the new Loreal shampoo and after a few uses, my scalp was terribly itchy. I was thinking I had lice, it was that bad! So I ran to the store and purchased this because I remember using it years ago for similar issues...and it worked liked a charm. My scalp felt brand new, no itching, no flaking. It's worth every penny. I just purchased the large size shampoo/conditiner and I think that is all I will be using from now on. Great product.

First, my hair type: thin and oily. When I first used this (the Lavender/Mint shampoo), I loved it. It didn't weigh my hair down and left it soft. However, after a few weeks of using this it has left a buildup on my scalp and does not clean very well anymore. It's a shame because I really wanted to like this. Has that "earthy" lavender smell which didn't bother me.

my boyfriend had this in his shower, so I tried it...and loved it! I live in Texas, and the humidity makes my hair lifeless and greasy pretty quickly. this shampoo battles that pretty well. it thoroughly cleans my hair and doesn't weigh it down. the conditioner has the same effect. I looked to buy some of my own, but it's really expensive; that's really the only downfall

When I had an oily scalp, when I lived in Texas where its very hot and humid depending on where you are, when I felt like I had to take more than one shower just for my hair....THIS was heaven in my shower!
It left my hair clean, refreshed, smelling minty and stayed that way for good while. I love the feeling of scrubbing it on my head and feeling the cool tingles. There were always specials on this shampoo so I tried my best to buy it then. Its a little pricy but I always got such big bottles they would last forever.
I never paired it with the conditioner although the conditioner most of the time came with the shampoo. The conditioner is not as good as the shampoo. If I felt like my hair was super oily, greasy, dirty like from playing volleyball on a Texas summer day, THEN I would use the conditioner. It also has the same properties as the shampoo.
Shampoo definitely worth the buy. Even if you dont have an oily scalp, the feeling and smell from this shampoo is worth trying! Its addicting!!

Best Cleanser Ever. I had used coconut oil for a DIY hair mask that left my hair GREASY as pizza cheese and limp of all life. One wash and POOF! All grease is gone. ive been using it since. It feels a little streaky when you finish washing it but when i blow dry and add products it feels just fine. Its not harsh (can be a daily cleanser i think)
Smells amazing if you like minty scents. i love his lines. They have all done me justice.

My hair is very dry, frizzy, thin, and my scalp easily gets oily. I bought this as a set for $40, which for me is pretty pricey, but hey, ads are easily persuasive, what can i say. I take the shampoo and gently massage my scalp with it, not toughing the ends. Then I wash it out, letting the soap glide down the rest of my hair. Then I put the conditioner all over my hair, including my scalp (I never used to do this, but with this set, I really like the outcome). If you have dry frizzy thin hair, when you let this air dry, it looks very frizzy and feels dry--BUT after about half an hour of letting it dry, it then becomes smooth, and my hair feels great. Weird I know, but I like it. I also love the smell, it smells very pepperminty and fresh. Also, this does not make my scalp oily, meaning I can take a shower every other day instead of everyday. But for $40 I think I can find something better.
-smells great (peppermint) tea tree
-doesn't make hair oily
-softens my hair
-I have spilt ends, I wish this could make my ends feel softer

Print Server Question
Anyone know how to get the Linksys wireless print server model # WPSM54G to work with 7? When the disc is inserted into my win 7 laptop... it says OS not supported
|My System Specs
|25 Jun 2010
You will need to plug in the print server to an ethernet port on the back of your router then access the print server from a web browser to configure it. You can find the IP address of the print server by going into the router config and looking at the DHCP leases. Once you find the ip address you put that into the web browser an configure your print server that way.
Not sure what the default pass and username is for your linksys print server, should be in the documentation, but usually for a linksys product it is just admin.

text: In the import performance world, few legendary mills receive as much praise as Toyota's 2JZ power plant, the motivator found in such classic vehicles as the Supra, SC300 / Soarer and IS300 / Altezza. It's served as a favorite among the digital cheerleading crew that jumps on every conceivable automotive-based forum or social media page to challenge any and all with the threat of "2JZ power." Bench racing aside, the 2JZGTE's cast iron block and aluminum head is well known for handling an incredible amount of boost without batting an eye, even in stock trim. Upgrade the internals and supporting cast and the sky's the limit. Over two decades after its inception, Toyota's flagship motor is still at the top of the most wanted list by tuners worldwide. Billy Shea, owner of this immaculate IS300, was well aware of the 2JZ attributes, but initially chose to boost his factory GE. With 25psi of boost being shoved down its throat, it eventually tapped out and left him with little more than a paperweight. Instead of replacing, then repeating what had just happened, he opted for a 2JZGTE swap and decided to perform just a few upgrades. Though the 2JZ block and head remain internally stock, Shea opted to upgrade just about everything else. Taking a glance at the spec list, it's painfully obvious that this guy has an all-out obsession with HKS parts. First on the agenda was dropping the factory twin turbo setup for a single HKS T04Z snail. Cams, intake, exhaust, intercooler, fuel delivery and anything else under the hood carry the HKS logo with the exception of the radiator and a few dress-up pieces. The result is just under 500 horsepower, and while we're sure your best friend's cousin's sister-in-law's best friend made over 1,000hp with his 2JZ, Shea is happy making reliable, controllable power that has no problem plastering him to the Bride drivers seat as he mashes the accelerator. To match the aggressive nature under the hood, the IS300 exterior was treated to a complete Chargespeed lip kit and Ganador mirrors. Just under the D1 fenders sit Endless calipers covered slightly by 19-inch Work VS-KF rollers and Falken rubber. Inside the cabin, all of the creature comforts you'd expect from a Lexus IS300 are still intact, giving Shea the best of both worlds. Tastefully chosen authentic parts, power, and comfort all rolled up into one classy package. (Shea later revamped his Lexus IS300 with a complete color change, new wheels and other changes. Check out the full story here.)

text: So what I gather out of this act, is that this guy is very generous and a good guy. Nobody was hurt, yet they ban him from the mall for a year, and charge him with disorderly conduct. I get it that it could have been potentially dangerous but for God's sake, everything could be potentially dangerous! That is the most overused statement over something controversial. I won't even give those "what if" scenario people an example just to spite them, but just think of something you just did and I guarantee someone would have a scenario drawn up in which the outcome is so far worse. I don't follow much of the media around the Holidays, but what I do tend to stumble upon are videos of idiots fighting on Black Friday for whatever reason you want to throw out there. So you cannot tell me that this guy disturbed anyone in a negative way. They should have taken a poll in the crowd, where the money fell like rain, and just simply asked, "Does that guy deserve any criminal punishment?" I would almost bet that 100% of the crowd would've replied, "No not at all!" But then again I could easily see people being upset because someone else made out with more money. I apologize for the ramble, but I guess what I really want to say is that, this guy didn't do anything bad or wrong in my eyes! Certain people decided to make way too big of a deal out of it, and it's sad.

Quilt-Inspired Wall Art
Christian and her husband decided to make a beautiful cathedral window quilt (a wedding gift from a relative) the focus and inspiration for their daughter's nursery. In addition to using the quilt's colors throughout the room, Christian's husband made this incredible wood wall art as a perfect compliment and counterpoint to the quilt.
While one is soft and the other hard and the color comprises the diamond shapes in one and the petal shapes in the other - we think you'll have to agree that these items are both fantastic on their own and especially stunning together.
You can read a bit about how this wood wall hanging was made on Christian's blog, ModObject at Home, as well as more about how this room went from a room for a son to a room for a daughter.
Thanks Christian!

Wow! That is so gorgeous - what beautiful artistry!
What a great job - wow!
Why the heck can't I have awesome relatives that can make GORGEOUS quilts like that?!! Jealous.
That is a beautiful pattern, so cheerful and a great combination!
Jeesh. I wish my relatives had skills like that. Lovely quilt and lovely piece of art.
Before my son was born I made a small cathedral quilt for him and it was complicated to say the least. You take a larger square of fabric and fold itself in to get a smaller reverse square...whew! Treasure it always! It is so special to see them snuggled into it and you know that it came from the heart. Wonderful job on the wood wall art. If you can, please post a tutorial. This would be wonderful to make also :) Great job and so inspirational!!
Lovely! So colorful & fun & well put together.
Absolutely beautiful use of color and a great blend of traditional with contemporary! Its also a great way to honor the givers of the quilt!
that looks gorgeous.
That is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
