Racial abilities from memory:
Night Elf - Star(something): Channeled spell which wasn't broken by line of sight. I have terrible memories of NE priests in BGs just spamming this on me from the roof with nothing I could do to counter it.
Undead - Devouring Plague: Pretty much the same thing although I think there was some kind of stat debuff associated with it too.
Troll - Shadow Ward: Lightning shield but with shadow orbs and a cooldown.
Human/Dwarf (I can't remember which had what)- Desperate Prayer: Same thing it is now but much weaker and I think a more substantial mana cost/cooldown.
Blood Elves - Mana (something): They channeled it and got mana back. This was back when Blood Elf racials were completely ridiculous. Spam 3 mana taps on the target then use mana torrent to silence the target and get mana back equal to the stacks you applied.
Draenei - Actually can't remember this but I know it wasn't Gift of the Naaru...or was it? This was back when certain classes had certain versions of heroic presence so I don't recall. Most draenei were rolling shaman anyway.

Transportation Infrastructure:
Advantages and Disadvantages of Wrap-Up Insurance for Large Construction Projects
RCED-99-155: Published: Jun 1, 1999. Publicly Released: Jun 1, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8024
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the advantages and disadvantages of wrap-up insurance over traditional insurance for large transportation projects and the factors that can affect the broader use of wrap-up insurance.
GAO noted that: (1) owners of transportation projects, such as transit agencies and state departments of transportation, experience a number of advantages and disadvantages when they use wrap-up insurance; (2) major advantages include savings from buying insurance in bulk, eliminating duplication in coverage, handling claims more efficiently, reducing potential litigation, and enhancing workplace safety; (3) according to insurance industry officials, wrap-up insurance can save project owners up to 50 percent on the cost of traditional insurance, or from 1 to 3 percent of a project's construction cost, depending on its size; (4) the potential disadvantages of wrap-up insurance include requiring project owners to invest more time and resources in administration; (5) project owners must hire additional personnel or pay to contract out the management of the wrap-up insurance; (6) in addition, project owners could also have to pay large premiums at the beginning of the project; (7) however, transportation officials said these costs were reasonable; (8) a number of factors can affect the broader use of wrap-up insurance; (9) perhaps the most significant barriers are state systems for workers' compensation that, in some states, effectively prevent wrap-up insurance by greatly reducing its potential cost savings; (10) another limitation is that a project must be sufficiently large, or contain at least a sufficient amount of labor costs, to make wrap-up insurance financially viable; and (11) some contractors dislike wrap-up insurance because it reduces a contractor's profits from insurance rebates.

The style might have been interesting, but all other parts of it were off. The graphics, the story, the flow, the gameplay, the hitscanning, etc. Keep working developing the skills needed to make the work better. With some improvements, future product should turn out better.

NEWARK, N.J. -- Bryce Salvador scored on a deflection off a defenseman and the New Jersey Devils derailed Los Angeles' Stanley Cup coronation for a second time, beating the Kings 2-1 in Game 5 of the finals Saturday night. Zach Parise ended a five-game goal drought on a rare mistake by goalie Jonathan Quick, and Martin Brodeur stopped 25 shots to help the Devils end the Kings' 10-game postseason winning streak on the road and 12-game run over the past two years, both NHL records. "That's how a goalie wins the game for you," Parise said about Brodeur. Justin Williams...

Archive for the 'Porsche 914' tag
"Like having a brand-new car every spring." Ray Nadda's 1974 Porsche 914
Photos by the author.
In all, Ray Nadda of Allendale, Michigan, figures he's had 97 or 98 different cars over the years – British cars, Italian cars, American cars, you name it – and he's sold every single one of them. Every one of them, that is, except for the 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 that he's now owned for 26 years.
"A couple times over the years I thought about selling it, but this is the one car I can't ever bring myself to get rid of," he said. "Living in Michigan, I have to put it away every winter, but when I get it out of the garage again, it's like having a brand new car every spring."
Nadda, who brought his 914 to this year's Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car Show in Saratoga Springs, New York, said he bought the 914 used straight out of college, but it wasn't necessarily his first choice. He said he had the list narrowed down to a Porsche 924, a 1985 Toyota MR2, and the 914. "I decided the MR2 wasn't for me after I got three tickets in one day with it," he said. Which isn't to say that he didn't flog the 914 after he bought it – he just did so on the track.
Remarkably, for a car that saw plenty of racing, Nadda said he's never replaced or even opened up the 2.0-liter flat-four engine. "I've had people tell me to put a hotter cam in it, but I've always kept it original," he said. "It's the car's reliability that led to me to keep it. I only ever had it die on me once, and it was just a bad coil. These days, it starts right up every time."
Nadda did have the 914 repainted in its original Signal Orange about 14 years ago and has made a few minor upgrades here and there, but he said the interior and the suspension – like the drivetrain – remain all original. They'll also likely remain that way for as long as Nadda can keep them original too.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1974 Porsche 914 1.8
So your heart says "Porsche," but your bank balance says "used Kia?" Here you go. The seller describes this 43,000-mile 1974 Porsche 914 1.8 for sale on Hemmings.com as a barn find, and the Valvoline oil-change sticker on the inner door seems to indicate that the car has been parked for the better part of 20 years. We'd certainly want to have a poke around underneath, but the seller presents this as a solid car with only surface rust, and provides shots of the floor pans and both trunk floors, all still covered in their factory-applied Olympic Blue paint. With patina so much in vogue these days, why not simply take care of the mechanical needs that any car would have after a two-decade slumber, clean up the wheels, slap on some new tires and enjoy it as is? From the seller's description:
Barn Find. 43K miles, Olympic Blue with Black interior. Targa top. 5-speed stick, console with gauges, very nice interior, seats, carpeting, dash, door panels all in great shape. Has original Blaupunkt radio. Solid body and floors – see photos. All rust on body is surface. Right rocker cover replaced, left rocker cover needs repairing. Car is 100 percent complete. Engine will crank but have not tried to start. No warranty.

Four-Links – Checker pickup, Carl Sagan's Porsche, Iacocca Q&A, Cadillac's "mood" cars
* While recently catching up on some back issues of the Checker Car Club's newsletter, we ran across mention of a Checker pickup what-if model commissioned by Dieter Losskar and executed by Dirk Patschkowski. Lotta details to take in here.
* An older post, but one worth including here: Astronomer Carl Sagan's son, Nick, remembers his father. Includes a mention of Sagan's Porsche 914.
* Car and Driver recently chatted with Lee Iacocca, and we learned that he owns a few special-interest vehicles, including a K-car and a 1954 Ford truck.
* The 1956 Eldorado Biarritz Survivor Roster this week took a look at the 1956 Cadillac "mood cars" – the Castilian, Gala, Palomino, and Maharani show cars – all with unique interiors. Only one of the four is known to survive today.
* Finally, a number of proposals were pitched over the years for a replacement for the popular Mini. AROnline takes a look at a few of them, including a couple mystery studies done by Pininfarina.
Four-Links – 914-8, Motorhome rest home, Museu Roberto Lee gets new home, Lego racers
* We all know that Porsche built the 914 with a four-cylinder or with a six-cylinder, right? Well, what about the two that Porsche (actually Ferdinand Piëch) built with a Porsche 908′s flat-eight? MotoIQ has the story. (via)
* This is the magic that happens when you take back roads rather than the highways. The LongRoofian recently stumbled across what may be the biggest cache of GMC Motorhomes down in Florida and poked around to get the story of how they all ended up there.
* Tucker #1035, along with the rest of the Roberto Lee museum in Caçapava, São Paulo, Brazil, now has a new home where it appears to be available for public viewing.
* Lego crafter Bob Alexander builds some amazing vintage race cars that look like actual Lego offerings.
* Finally, we've seen some truly bizarre latter-day automotive marketing stunts geared toward lifestyle brands and non-endemic niche audiences, but as Phil Are Go! reminded us this week with a series of circa-1970 Dodge Challenger ads apparently targeted toward young, hip women who make their own clothes, those bizarre marketing ploys are nothing new.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1970 Porsche 914-6
Porsche 914s are plentiful enough, but real deal 914-6s don't come around all that often, especially not ones converted to GT Le Mans specifications, as this 1970 Porsche 914-6 for sale on Hemmings.com has. The seller doesn't note whether the car has seen any track time, but it's probably safe to say, given the work that went into it, that it would make for all sorts of fun on a track or on a windy road. From the seller's description:
Built in May of 1970 at the Porsche 911 factory. Mileage showing on odometer is 25k but true mileage may be different. With a freshly rebuilt (documented) Porsche five speed Limited Slip Transaxle with Rennshift close ratio quick shifting and a ton of Patrick Motorsports reinforcements and parts. A new up to date fuse box. It comes with the original two Keys that starts, opens locks both front and back hoods, doors and glove box. Handmade Stainless Steel headers with Stainless Steel heater exchange. Kirkey handmade aluminum racing seats, Competitive Willians 6 point 3 inch Racing Harness from the UK, Rennline, Momo, Alpine with Boston Speakers, infrared track and in car lap timer, it goes on and on….. And the Tangerine paint looks like new.
This 914-6 was professionally built up to a 914-6 GT LeMans specifications with the addition of a Carrera 3.2 closed loop Fuel Injected Porsche engine producing 245 hp. A Porsche Carrera suspension and brakes and steel underbody reinforcements that were added by the factory to increase the structural integrity of the body to take the extreme hp and side loads that were needed to win Le Mans. This includes Porsche 914-6 GT fender flares that could accommodate the larger Turbo 16 X 9 and 16 X 8 Fuchs wheels . Bilstein coil over shocks with 245 lb rear springs, 23mm front torsion bars, adjustable Weltmeister front sway bar, Porsche Carrera front suspension with 23mm Master brake cylinder with Metal braided lines all around to stop this 2200 lb 914-6 GT.
This is not a cheaply thrown together 'Ricky racer'. This is a professionally built up 914-6 GT that has over $100k into it to make it what it is today. It accelerates, brakes, handles, performs and sounds like a real Porsche race car.
Its not perfect but then what is? This car comes with a clear California title and FOUR inches of receipts and documentation.

Four-Links – Fiat Turbina, highway hi-fi, Ford Styling tour, coachbuilt 914
* If you're going to develop a gas-turbine car, it had better look like it came from a Buck Rogers future. Fiat covered that base with its tri-turbine 1954 Turbina, profiled this week on Fuel Magazine.
* One of the more intriguing parts ads to come through the Hemmings classifieds lately was this RCA under-dash dealer-install 45 RPM record player. For those of you besotted with early in-car tunes, the New York Times this week took a look at pre-iPod in-car music.
* While going through his uncle's archives, Steve Tremulis found photos and a speech from a tour Alex Tremulis gave Henry Ford II through the Ford Advanced Styling studio in 1955, then carefully pieced them together to give us an idea how that tour went.
* Over at Classic Driver, an reintroduction to the 1970 Porsche 914/6 Murène by Heuliez, a styling exercise that attempted to do away with the 914′s angularity before it was put away in storage for the last few decades.
* Finally, Michael Harrington at Worst Blog Ever! brought us a short yet poignant Fourth of July post this past week comparing an old Duesenberg engine with the good ol' U.S.A.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1973 Porsche 914S
The dangers to modifying a car lie in a) your tastes not matching up to others' tastes, especially when going to sell the car, and b) going too far with the modifications. However, the seller of this 1973 Porsche 914S for sale on Hemmings.com seems to have avoided those two pitfalls, selecting a modest roster of alterations, none of which appears to be irreversible. From the seller's description:
This 1973 914S is an exceptional, prize-winning, low-mile, California car. I've owned this car for years and have always babied it. It is a very sound and well-preserved show stopper. This 914 has never, to my knowledge, been outside of the hot, dry Central Valley of California, and has always been garaged and/or covered. It is 99% rust-free. Very original with only tasteful and practical upgrades done, easily changed back, if so desired. Years of extras and original pieces can be included. It has received miscellaneous awards and has a great show history. It runs very cool & is very streetable while producing 50% more HP than stock, yet it yields up to 30 MPG on today's regular fuel. This is most likely one of the nicest rust-free survivor 914/4s you'll ever find! Drive it anywhere with confidence.
The new 2056 engine was based off of a "GA" 2.0 case, and only the best components were used. I have the original engine, complete with all FI components, including harness, ECU and all original tin.

Oldest U.S.-sold Porsche identified
This August, as part of the celebration of the company's 60 years in America, Porsche launched a search for the oldest Porsche sold new in the U.S. Feast your eyes on the winner of that crown: a stunning Strawberry Red 356 Cabriolet from 1952 rescued from a salvage yard by its current owner, Dr. Robert Wilson of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
"Wilson's car was imported in November of 1952 by Austrian businessman, Max Hoffman, in New York, who brought the first Porsche cars to the U.S. beginning in 1950," a release from Porsche Cars North America reads. "The 1.5 liter, 60 horsepower gem was discovered in a salvage yard by Wilson years after arriving on U.S. soil and meticulously restored."
Also recognized was an incredibly rare 1950 356 Cabriolet owned by Richard Brumme of Annapolis, Maryland. One of the first series production 356s built in Stuttgart after the company's relocation from Gmund, Austria, Brumme's beautifully restored car won the Best in Show award at the 356 Registry's annual meet in Cleveland, Ohio. Though "unique and special," Porsche said, Brumme's car is not the oldest Porsche retailed in the United States.
The My Porsche Classic Search awarded its "oldest U.S.-retailed car" designation to cars in 12 model ranges. Among them was a car that will be familiar to readers of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car: a mint green 1992 968 Cabriolet owned by Jeffrey Coe of Trumball, Connecticut. Way to go, Jeff! Here are the rest of the results:
- 1965 911: Barry August of Clarksville, Maryland
- 1965 912: Steve Torkelsen of Wilton, Connecticut
- 1970 914: Ralph Stoesser of Marco Island, Florida
- 1977 924: Jay Hoover of New Haven, Indiana
- 1977 928: Jim Doerr of Richmond, Virginia
- 1983 944: John Denning of Covington, Washington
- 1997 Boxster: David Adrian of Worcester, Massachusetts
- 2004 Cayenne: Adam Reichard of Magnolia, Texas
- 2005 Carrera GT: Robert Ingram of Durham, North Carolina
- 2006 Cayman: Eugenie Thomas of Martinez, California
Each owner will receive an exclusive badge issued by the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. Porsche will also honor the winners by featuring images of the cars at its "Sixty Years of Porsche in America" exhibit, which opened at the museum on October 12. Dr. Wilson's car will be given a place of honor among the new Porsches at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.
The My Porsche Passion contest, which we've previously mentioned, is still open. So even if your Porsche isn't the oldest of its kind – heck, even if you don't own a Porsche – you still have a shot at winning an all expenses paid trip to the Porsche Sport Driving School in Birmingham, Alabama. Hurry, though – the deadline for submissions is November 1.
You know times are bad when…
…even Porsche is touting gas mileage figures.
The rare North American six-wheeled van and other wildlife sightings
Years of training have honed my senses. Tracking these creatures for days on end has instructed me on their habits and habitats. I've learned to discern them and their camouflaged forms from their surroundings. I know when to shoot from safe distances and when to close in for the kill. Their trails are like roads to me, and their scent is in my nostrils.
This one I captured in North Adams, Massachusetts. Note its unique coloration and its variation from the established species. These have been documented before, but this particular specimen requires further study.
Left for dead by the rest of its herd, this beast languished among the weeds and grasses behind a structure in Pine Plains Pine Island, New York. Rodents had already begun nibbling at its carcass.
Also in Pine Plains Pine Island, this brute, bleached by the sun, hibernated in a poorly concealed location. I dared not wake it, else risk an attack on my fortunes.
Finally, further upstate in New York, I reveled with a fellow hunter in his prize, a fearsome varmint that he had bagged earlier that day and carried home for carving and dissection.

It is worth noting that even though haste may help you apply HoTs faster in 2.4, it still doesn't help the HoT itself in any way. DoTs as well see no benefit from haste, although channeled spells do as of a few patches ago.
I personally find the OOM argument to be a bit ridiculous. You do not spend any more mana than you would normally. Even though your mana-per-second does increase, the mob is dying at a proportionally increased pace; your net number of spell casts and net mana spent will be the exact same. A mob with 10,000 health will be killed with a certain number of spell casts, regardless of how long those spell casts take to complete.
Now, healers may not see the same benefit from haste if the tank doesn't need heals spammed on him. In that case, down rank as appropriate to avoid overheal and conserve mana.
On the other hand, healers also gain a benefit from other members of the group using of haste. After all, the faster a mob dies, the less damage it can do.
Bottom line is, 1% haste = 1% dps. Since it is percent based it scales with your gear and other +dmg (or +heal) items and is one of the best stats you can have.

This past Saturday I hit the trails for a couple of races instead of hitting the roads. I participated in the 4K and 8K runs at the Battle Creek Education Outdoor Center. It was a lovely morning as it was cool, sunny, and had just a little wind. Last year's conditions were snowy, windy, and cold. I took third overall in the 4K and 4th overall in the 8K. I was looking for a similar performance this year.
I started right in the front row and when the gun sounded I got off to my usual fast start as I headed down the trail and up the hill past the cabin where a few people were cheering us on while some old fashioned music was being played for us. However as we entered the woods it all started to go bad for me as I found it becoming more difficult to breathe. It wasn't to the point where I had to stop, but I had to slow my pace down. It might have had to do with the cold air. This led to a lot of runners passing me, but there was nothing I could do. I struggled to get up the hills and then I headed across the open field and then past the water stop where more people were cheering us on. I headed back for the woods and then past the cabin and toward the finish line. I still took 9th overall, first in my age group and finished with the time of 19:09.
At this point I was debating whether I was going to run in the 8K or not. I had only 25 minutes to decide, so I drank so Gatorade and walked around a little bit to gain my composure. I talked to some of the other runners and they said they were having the same issue with the cold air so we decided we were not going to run as fast and take it easier.
So I headed to the starting line for the 8K race and when the gun went off, I started off at a slower pace. Now the course layout was the same and we had to make two laps around the course. It felt easier this time around although I still felt some discomfort with the trouble breathing and I developed a dull stomach cramp. I did pass a few runners through the woods and some passed me up as I headed up through the hills and to the open field. I wasn't worried about this though as I just wanted to finish. I headed back though the woods and began the second lap. I ran by some of the other runners who were still completing their second lap and by the cabin again and back into the shady woods. I headed up a hill and deeper into the woods before I hit the last big hill of the course and then to the open field again. During the second lap, I felt like I was beginning to catch my second win and it felt easier. Their was one runner on my tail and since I was approaching the finish I began to push the pace and I headed back into the woods, past the cabin, and headed for the finish. However I could not hold off the other runner. I finished 8th overall, first in my age group, with a time of 37:25.
I took home a couple of small prizes and a couple of small plants in honor of Earth Day. Overall I did not improve on the times I ran last year, but I finished the races and that is what counts. I hope this Saturday when I run the BC Spring into Action 5K I can run fast with no problems.

As reported by Audi
Fascination taken to a new level of intensity: The Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro combines breathtaking performance with the experience of open-top driving. The 386 kW (525 hp) V10 engine accelerates the high-performance sports car with the lightweight cloth top to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 4.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 313 km/h (194.49 mph). The R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro features a fascinating package of technologies, including the Audi Space Frame (ASF) made of aluminum and carbon fiber composite, quattro permanent all-wheel drive, LED headlights and the innovative seatbelt microphone.
The R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro captivates from the very first glance. Its lines offer a unique interpretation of the dynamics and emotion of a high-performance sports car. Two distinctive silver cowls, into which the large air intake openings are integrated, give the long back a powerful profile. Unlike the Coupé, the R8 Spyder has classic air intakes behind the doors. The rear side panels and the large cover over the storage compartment for the cloth top are made of a carbon fiber composite.
The R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro sports a cloth soft top in classic Audi style. The soft top's approximate weight is a mere 42 kilograms (92.59 lb); it thus keeps the vehicle's total weight and center of gravity low. When closed it melds harmoniously into the design line – it ends in two slim fins that extend toward the rear and have a contour similar to that of the Coupé hard top.
The top is suitable without restriction for high-speed driving and is quiet. With the standard electrohydraulic motor, the top opens and closes within 19 seconds, even while driving at speeds up to 50 km/h (31.07 mph). The heated glass window is integrated separately into the bulkhead and can be raised and lowered via a switch with the soft top up or down. Audi also provides a wind deflector that can be installed in just two steps.
The bulkhead includes integrated rollover protection in the form of two pretensioned plates. The aluminum Audi Space Frame (ASF) body of the R8 Spyder is reinforced at important locations, yet it tips the scales at a mere 216 kilograms (476.20 lb) – just six kilograms (13.23 lb) more than the Coupé. Equipped with a manual transmission, the high-performance sports car weighs only 1,720 kilograms (3,791.95 lb).
Prodigious power: the drivetrain
The new top-of-the-range Audi offers incredible performance. The free-breathing V10 with the aluminum crankcase features direct gasoline injection. The 12.5:1 compression ratio that the FSI concept enables contributes to the high performance and good efficiency. Dry sump lubrication, another motorsport technology, ensures the reliable supply of oil even at the maximum lateral and longitudinal acceleration.

BLG brand to disappear as part of Clydes merger
Readers' comments (37)
The end of a 170 year era...
Back in the early 2000s BLG and Clydes were fairly similar firms. BLG had the stronger reputation in reinsurance, non marine work as well as mainstream corporate and commercial litigation whilst Clydes was pre-eminent in marine, energy and political risk insurance. The reason why Clydes has been able to pull away and swallow its bitter rival is that it has always been guided by a strong professional management team, whilst BLG has lurched from one failed managerial experiment to the next.
It doesn't matter how many times they both say it, this is not a merger in any shape. It is a clear takeover.
Thats not to say that Jabba and Konsta have done badly. Anyone who can take a firm which has lost 10+ equity partners of a short period of time and make it an attractive proposition for takeover has to be congratulated. Yes they are 15 partners going, but those are the partners who have been stopping the international growth.
For Clydes, a great deal.
What a charade. Jabbari and Konsta given token roles for 18 months. BLG partners axed. BLG's name relegated to history. This was always a fire sale. Though Jabbari will come in useful in the short term - he either executes redundancies or adds a Cafe Nero to a frim's reception...I wonder what he'll be doing during the 18 months...?
Nice pay boost for the top of BLG's equity.
re Anonymous @ 9.05. Totally agree with the analysis of BLG management in the last 10 years. Also add in incompetence and cronyism.
In pulling off this deal and making BLG ready for takeover surely Jabba and Konsta have done good? The deal could have been a lot worse had a US firm taken them over, there would have been plenty more blood on the carpet.
Dodgy management at BLG for the last ten years? Agreed. But some credit has to go these pair who have made it a viable option for CLydes
Why so much negative comment? Forget the past. Looking forwards, the newly combined team will have excellent lawyers and a great roster of clients. Good luck to them. And keeping the Clyde & Co name is the right thing to do.
Good move. It is far better to grasp the nettle and do a single rebrand than to go for the clumsy Clyde BLG for a period and then drop the BLG later.
I am baffled by the attacks on Jabba who has achieved an incredible amount in one year, given the mess he inherited. Bottom line is that 10 years ago Barlows and Clydes were roughly the same size. Today, Clydes is three times bigger with offices everywhere and but for the increase in turnover during Jabba's brief reign Barlows would be hardly any bigger than it was in 2001!
So not a takeover then! ROFLMFAO.
Jabba can spin all he likes - and boy does he - but any fool can flog the family silver.
Can this dark comedy get any more embarassing for BLG's management? Or do they believe their own spin? A pay rise for top partners on the back of a firesale is hardly "an incredible amount achieved".
Agree totally with the comment about selling the family silver. Anyone can negotiate a sell-off. Navigating through difficult times takes skill.
Don't blame Konsta and Jabba. Its Kennan Michel and Richard Dedman, and their predecessors, who were in charge when the rot set in.
Loving the Lawyer's Zara Philips / Tindall comparison. Anyway, what's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Or something....
Completely endorse the comments re the Dedman/Michel era. That is when Clydes pulled so far ahead of BLG that the gap was unbridgeable. Hence the decision to pull in Clint Evans as an accountant CEO but that was too late and ineffective anyway because accountants can't run law firms. Jabbari was a specialist lawyer with magic circle past: they wanted one of their own.
I don't understand the brain dead comments above about 'selling the family silver', nothing is being sold at all, the partners of BLG will be partners in the new firm.
Are BLG keeping their regional offices because the focus seems international now?
Anon @ 4:42
I think the best description of your comment is "disingenuous".
Jabba's quote above that this is a continuation of restructuring is an absolute classic!!
Presumably the new term for demolition in the construction industry is 'ongoing renovations''...
When at A&O Jabba was Hd of Kowledge Management - a well known proving ground for aspiring COOs! I pity the the business services management team at Clydes who have done a great job and now will have to report into the new COO role that Jabba has carved himself into. I am sure that there are plenty of talented people at Clydes who would have liked to have had a pop at that role.
The question nobody seems to be asking is what impact will the young Turks from Barlows have on the tired old management at Clydes? Is there going to be a battle for power?
Jabbari added: "It reflects a professional management team coming at the merger from a practical and robust viewpoint." Yet another Jabbari management speak classic. Translation: BLG means diddly-squat abroad.
Er, "tired old management at Clydes?". I think you must mean experienced, mature and measured (and who have, in reality, already outwitted BLG).
Anonymous at 6.17am: "battle for power?". I don't think so. Surely BLG partners would do well to keep their heads down in the hope that they still have a role when the lock-in expires. For the first time in a long time, someone will be looking over their shoulders ... they will have to prove themselves rather than "milk it".
The "young Turks from Barlows" clearly have a lot to learn about negotiating a deal from the "tired old management at Clydes".
A clear takeover as many with a clear head can see. This just avoids a scenario akin to run-off due to poor or non existent communications, a huge lack of morale or motivation and laziness on BLGs part. The majority of the partners have sat back and lived it up bringing in no new business and playing golf! Anyone know what will happen to the general insurance practise? Surely Clydes have no use for their partners or staff?
To Anonymous 4 AUG @ 12:50pm. Those who criticise the Konsta /Jabbari management record seem to be those with inside knowledge of the firm and how it has been run for the past year or so. Sometimes the figures are not what they seem and the messages are mixed. Good people have been hung out to dry and a once great firm has been broken in order to preserve financial security for others.
At last the mismanagement truths are surfacing. This team have blamed those that went before them but at the end of the day they will have to live with the fact that a once great firm is no more and many of its best people are now working for the competition and would not have been if this pair were not in charge. Simple.
Let's hope Peter Hasson knows what he's doing with the management team appointments. Others have been fooled in the past and regretted their decision.
All going well, the politically talented but otherwise inept beneficiaries of this takeover deal will have the career lengths they deserve while the true talent will thrive at their new firms and provide clients with great legal service in a working climate free from tyranical management outbursts and doublespeak.
It seems a shame to blame David Jabbari for all the recent management mistakes at BLG when at least some of the credit should go to Konsta and others. It's polite to share.
Full credit to Clydes in taking out a competitor. They will have to pay the price in terms of jobs for the boys (and girls) secured as part of the sell out for a while anyhow - and they will no doubt have to pay for a few more exits on the management side and practice teams over the next year. Clydes will know that much of what they have 'bought' is not worth the money but it means less competition from old style insurance firms. Now they only have to worry about the up and coming firms with a very different culture.
What must the Clydes' business support directors think of the COO appointment? Just goes to show that keeping the knives sharp and political prowess wins over management merit and hard work every time. Not to worry, it won't last long - hopefully Peter has seen through the smooth talking and created a role that has limited power and shelf life ... or else Clydes may be looking for its own white knight.
How many lawyers does it take to sink a law firm? More seriously, a nice little earner for the more senior BLG partners and Mr Jabbari but no doubt there will be a lot of job uncertainty for others lower down the pecking order. Also a huge distraction for keeping clients. The more agile insurance firms like Holmans and RPC will be having a field day behind the scenes picking up disaffected clients and staff.
as a solicitor from the old dowgate hill joe small & [sir] denis marshall days it seems a little sad that the name and all it represented is going.
nostalgia is not what it used to be
Accountants can't run law firms ? - Clydes has been totally run by one accountant for the last 12 or so years. But Mr Jabbari has managed to climb aboard. He is younger, hungrier and better qualified than his rival - and the old regime at Clydes will be heading towards the exit. So we going to see a bit of a battle for power in the next couple of years. Only one will survive long term.

Originally from Indiana, David has been teaching music in both the private and public school sectors for 12 years. Getting his start as a drumline instructor with only 4 students, David soon expanded his teaching to include both guitar and piano, which he studied under Frank Puzzulo (of Miles Davis' group) at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.
Upon graduating Ball State, David moved to Colorado to study jazz and classical music with Dr. Douglas Walter, an accomplished percussionist who is known for his versatility and multiple percussion talents. He also studied piano and guitar in his off time, jamming with several rock and jazz groups both in and out of school.
In 2006, David left the college scene with a Masters in Music and moved to Florida where he began his teaching career. In Florida, David taught roughly 70 students, ages 5 to 18, at Wewahitchka High School and Middle School. He was beloved by the town, helping out in the community as a local organist for the Presbyterian Church and as a frequent contributor to Wednesday night worship.
As wonderful as this time was, David gave up the gators and swamps to move back home to Indiana in 2007. Here, he took a job at Kokomo High School and Maple Crest Middle school where he resumed teaching students from 5th graders to seniors in all areas of music, including wind, strings/guitar and percussion. David established the first ever "rock and roll" class at the high school in 2008, a program that started with only 5 students and has ballooned to 38 in this current year! The class consisted of guitars, keyboards, bass and drums, all of which David can teach at a professional level.
Most recently, David graduated with his second Masters in Jazz Performance from DePaul University. He studied primarily with professor Ron Perillo, unquestionably the most innovative piano player in Chicago and with Bob Palmieri, a gifted guitarist. Having now graduated, David is devoting himself full time to teaching private students and looks very much forward to working with you!
*** Lesson Details ***
Although David has a laid back personality and approach to life, he takes his job very seriously. He prides himself in not being the kind of teacher who is there simply to entertain and hope the student learns something in the process. Though you will most certainly have a good time, you should only take from him if you really want to become a great musician/player. Having been a highly qualified public school teacher for 5 years, David has more experience than most private teachers you can find. He knows what it takes to achieve greatness and he knows that most students, in the end, respect that more than a half hour "jam session."
David will tailor his curriculum to each student. Every student is expected to have a notebook with staff paper and a pencil at their lesson. Students will also be assigned a book to purchase (in some cases more than one) and he/she will progress through it at a pace appropriate to his or her level.
More than anything, what you will see in David's lessons is his love for music and teaching music. It is truly a special thing to be gifted in this art, and he believes that anyone who is willing to put in the time, the effort and the dedication needed will be rewarded and enriched in the end.
David is also available for online lessons via Skype! He loves taking advantage of this modern technology in his lessons and is happy to take on new students in this format.
*** Studio Equipment ***
He has a fully weighted digital piano, electronic keyboard, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, clarinet, flute and various percussion equipment in a room completely devoted to music. Can accommodate seating for parents.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can bring my own guitar/bass, but any drum lessons or piano lessons would require the student to have the necessary instrument at home.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in non-wind instruments, especially drums, percussion, bass guitar, piano and rock guitar. I consider myself extremely versatile with various styles and genres. Piano lessons are taught on a wonderful, fully weighted 88 key keyboard. I apply several teaching methods to reach as many kids as possible, with a focus on hands-on learning.

Currently developing the music program at "The Chicago Ballet Center", which includes a private music studio located in the Chicago Six Corners business district (Cicero & Irving Park). Working together with Keys4Kids organization, the "Violin Center of Chicago", "PianoForte Foundation", as well as other recognized music institutions to deliver the best possible education for musicians of all ages.
1. I am comfortable teaching private or group lessons for Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Violin, Music Performance, Music Theory, and Composition.
2. I have lifelong experience in the arts from private lessons, Interlochen Center for the Arts, and Columbia College Chicago. (B.A. in 2014)
3. My specialties are classical music and modern rock genres.
My recent history begins from my graduation from McBain Public High School in Michigan, where I received my diploma in 2005.
• 2012-2014 Served as the Principal Educator at Rico Music and Art Center (RMAC). RMAC is a busy music center in Chicago at Six Corners (Cicero & Irving Park) where I taught private lessons and manage the day-to-day business. I inspired and motivated colleagues and students of all ages alike, to achieve our goals and seek higher levels of learning.
• 2010-2011 Ended my lighting business and became a part time student at Columbia College Chicago pursuing degrees in music composition and piano performance. Building my repertoire to include Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Debussy, and more. Studying with the masters of the field such as Columbia College Head of the Composition Dept. Dr. Marcos Balter, Dr. Ilya Levinson, Dutch pianist and composer Sebastian Huydts, Bette Coulson of Coulson's Music y making new connections, I began teaching at RMAC as the Principal Educator and taking on creative music projects to compose music for student films. (Films are available upon request)
• 2008-2010 Left the touring road to start an event lighting company (Light it Up/ EDC Productions/GOBI Project), which lead me to Chicago where I ran my business efficiently, while still practicing music.
• 2005-2008 As soon as I received my diploma and high school graduation was over, I was on tour almost non-stop with Deja Normal (Mike Mains and the Branches) Arescyn (Static Factory Records) playing the piano/bass/vocals and taking an intimate role with the song and lyric writing. Tens of thousands of miles traveled with hundreds of performances from the East coast to the West to play the smallest of venues tucked away in the woods of West Virginia to major music events such as Vans Warped Tour dates.
I am very excited about my future in music within the educational realm, by the magnificent challenge that it provides. Hopefully, by sharing my perspective with my friends, colleagues, students, we can share the great feeling of accomplishment together.

My name is Blake C. and I teach any style of guitar music, but specialize in Classical and Rock Guitar techniques. �
I have been playing guitar for more than 30 years and am a member of the American Federation of Musicians, Local 232-278 and National Association for Music Education. �I have more than 20 years professional performance, session work, and instruction.
I was awarded the President's Scholarship in Classical Guitar Performance by the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago, Illinois in 1990 and was awarded a full tuition scholarship in Classical Guitar Performance by the Chicago Musical College in 1991. �
My primary Classical Guitar Instructor at both institutions was Paul Henry. �I also studied Rock Guitar with Dave Uhrich while attending both institutions and privately studied Jazz Guitar with Scott Reed.
I studied voice with Audrey Evans at the American Conservatory of Music and Robert Long at the Chicago Musical College.
I have participated in Classical Guitar Master Classes with Hubert Kappel, Dale Kavanagh, Eleftheria Kotzia, Bruce Holzman, Stephen Aron, Raphaella Smits, Richard Provost, Nicholas Goluses, and William Buonocore.
*** Lesson Details ***
I design lessons individually according to the needs and "wants" of each student. �I specialize in developing and correcting technique in technique to improve the student's overall guitar skill.
Students that dedicate the time and effort each week to practicing see results rapidly. �However, if you have a busy life and are just wanting to learn guitar for personal enjoyment, I design the lessons to develop you at your desired pace.�
I teach guitar to children as young as five years old and adults of any age.�When teaching younger children, it is significantly beneficial for parents to attend each lesson - I have parent seating available. Having the parent(s) attend the lesson aids in guiding the younger student while practicing during the week at home. �The overall musical development and progress of the younger students improves drastically with the involvement of the parent(s). �All lesson materials, ranging from individual sheet music to complete method books, are provided by me; except for the guitar.
Musical talent is a wonderful gift, but correct technique is not easily acquired without proper instruction. �Your skill level eventually plateaus and your ability to learn and perform more difficult guitar music is inhibited, unless you have a solid foundation based on musical knowledge and proper guitar technique. �I can help you begin building a solid foundation of musical and technical guitar skills. �I will guide you through the initial development of guitar skills; correcting flaws in technique is my specialty. �

Classical guitar technique in conjunction with rock, jazz, and blues guitar.
Bass Guitar, Upright Bass
I am currently a String Bass Performance Major at DePaul University. I have taught multiple students in my home town of St. Charles, IL throughout high school and college. I am well versed in the genres of classical, jazz, bluegrass, rock, and funk. I have played in many different ensembles including the DePaul Symphony Orchestra, jazz combos at DePaul, several rock bands, and a bluegrass trio that frequently performs in Chicago and the surrounding area called Ask Your Folks .
I have had the benefit of working with great teachers throughout my bass playing career, including members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Lyric Opera, and the Chicago Jazz Ensemble. Because of this, I understand what a difference the right teacher can make. Furthermore, I know what teaching styles and techniques work best for me as a current student, so I am able to relate, and tailor the lesson to fit the student's needs.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

Death, Release from the Grave!
You have lost it to the King!
Oh death, I see your grave,
Delightful-it's empty!
Oh death, you have no power,
You have no authority,
You have lost it all,
To my King!
Oh death, I see into your grave,
I am happy it is empty,
You have lost your sting,
And the dead have been released!
Praise be to the King of Kings!
For HE is the one,
From the grave has released,
All the dead and gone,
So dances of the graves,
Dancers of the tombstones,
Dance on your circumstances,
Because forever will they be gone..

I have purchased a 30" monitor and the Project Browser text has increased in size over what was shown on my 19" monitor. Is there any way to control the text size in all the dialogue boxes that are shown?
If you could attach a screen shot and let us know which specific text is now too large, that would help. If there isn't a setting in AutoCAD for it, you might be able to tinker with Windows' display settings and get the result you're after.
I wanted to check back and find out if you'd figured out how to affect the change you were after. Please reply back here and let me know where you're at on this.

Two copper thefts were reported in the same day, and the thieves involved in the second crime tried to steal Christmas.
When Marmet city workers tried to light the star atop the community Christmas tree Thursday, they realized someone had stolen the copper wiring and meter connected to the display.
"It's a landmark here in Marmet," said Mayor Bill Pauley. "It's been here ever since I can remember. Everyone looks forward to lighting the star."
While city workers discovered the problem Thursday, Pauley said the theft could have happened any time during the past week.
Marmet police have no leads on a suspect at this point, but across Kanawha County, Charleston police worked on an eerily similar case. It is unclear whether the two crimes are related at this point.
Thieves broke into an AEP substation in Charleston early Thursday morning, stealing wires that cut power from 3,000 customers in Kanawha City and South Hills.
The widespread outage caused the University of Charleston to postpone classes and close administrative offices until noon Thursday.
"The thief is lucky to have escaped with their life," said Jeri Matheny, a spokesperson for AEP. "You hear every year of people who do not live through their attempt to steal copper."
"I went out of the house to see if maybe there was an accident, or if it was just me," said Maxx Turner, who lives a block away from the substation in Kanawha City.
Turner said when the power shut off at 4 a.m., the temperature in his apartment dropped almost 20 degrees within an hour. Without electricity, Turner said he worried about cooking food for his four-year-old son and keeping his family warm.
AEP has installed alarms at the Chesterfield Avenue substation but not surveillance cameras. Matheny said in the past, thieves have stolen or vandalized these cameras, so AEP has no plans to install new gadgets.
People who spent the day in the dark told 13News they think it might be a good idea to add cameras to the substation.
"Oh yeah, that way people would be more deterred and would not come down this way," Turner said.
Matheny said the company spends $1 million every year to repair damages incurred by thefts. She added customers eventually shoulder those costs.
"We will always look for ways to deter theft, but when there are determined persons, this is the result," Matheny said.
AEP crews restored power by 1 p.m. Thursday, but in Marmet, the star that has sat atop the city's Christmas tree for 30 years will remain dark until workers can replace the stolen wire.
"It's kind of hard for me to imagine Marmet without the star, it is so much a part of who we are," said Patty McGrew, who has lived in Marmet most of her life. "It's a beacon of light for Marmet. You expect people to honor certain things, but obviously that's not the case. Nothing is sacred anymore."
Pauley said Kanawha County Commissioner Kent Carper actually donated a meter to the city of Marmet immediately after he heard about the theft Thursday. The mayor added city workers should be able to light the star Friday, granted they can replace the wires.

There are times when the Windows remove the firewall service thinking it as a harmful application OR the Windows Firewall service may also disappear if you make make major changes with your Network Adapter. And when every you try to click to manage Firewall it will give you an error that "No Service was configured". There is a very simple way to fix this problem.
— Backup the Registry of your computer and save it on a safe place.
— Now look for another computer who has the same edition of Windows running on it as that on your computer, along with the Server Pack.
— Backup the below registry key that stores the Service information for Windows Firewall, with the export option:
— Restore it on the Computer which has the missing service and Reboot.
Once the computer it online you will see that the Windows Firewall Service/ICS is back in the list and you should be able to manage it again.
P.S: Restoring the key from a computer which does not match your Windows OS edition or Service Pack would make your system unbootable.

Waxman Inquisition cancelled
Victory! Democrat Chief Inquisitor Henry Waxman has retreated from his attempt to intimidate companies who dare speak out about the costs and consequences of Obamacare.
His April 21 witch hunt session has been cancelled, according to left-wingers. (Update: Fox also reporting same.) The event is still listed on the House Energy and Commerce with the press release from last month, but no further information.
Cancellation confirmed by House GOP here.
Perhaps Waxman and Company thought better of it while contemplating the prospect of a nationwide revolt by all businesses who are simply complying with disclosure laws and accounting principles, and telling the truth about the burden of the Dems' crushing mandates.
Never fear, though. Waxman has moved on to his next jihad: He's calling for a ban on chewing tobacco in Major League Baseball.
Hey, Torquemada, whaddya say?

WAUSAU, Wis (WSAU) - Wausau city council members have approved a new contract with the city's fire fighter's union.
The new three year contract will include some wage freezes the first year in order to help save the city some extra money over the next few years. Alderman Romey Wagner says the department and the unions were willing to agree to those cuts despite being exempt from the changes to collective bargaining that other public unions faced.
Under the new contract, firefighters will contribute more to their retirement accounts. They'll pay 3-percent next year, or an average of $60 per paycheck. That rises to 5-percent in 2013 and up to 7-percent in 2014. The new contract also would come without any layoffs.
The change will save the city about $174,000.
The firefighters union approved the new contract last Wednesday.
