Event Info
Fishstars, from 2 Fan reports
Milton Keynes - The Stables
A great event, only slightly spoiled... from Dark Cookie, 04/06/13My first time at the stables, which is a great, laid-back, intimate venue, on the outskirts of Milton Keynes.
Anywhere where you can sit in your seats with a cold beer in a proper glass, with a great view and clear sound is one worth visiting again. Not my first time seeing Fish. And I hope not the last. The mans presence and persona from the moment he prowls onto the stage grips you. A lot of new material was plaid on the night, including songs from the High Wood Suite, which Fish took time to explain, which helped make these songs all the more poignant.
Looking forward to the new album (which Ive ordered the following day). But I have to be honest, I think like the majority of the crowd, it was the old stuff we were looking forward to, and were not disappointed. Fish banter and self deprecation was spot on, his handling of some hecklers was just right. Which brings me onto the only gripe of the evening. The two drunk idiots sat in front of me, who abused the staff, talked loudly in the quiet bits and heckled very poorly, were the only thing stopping the evening getting 5 stars. Gentlemen (and I use the term loosely) you should be ashamed, you were certainly old enough to know better. You very nearly ruined a great evening, but thankfully didn't, cheers.
Overall, great music, old and most encouragingly new, brilliant band, amazing performer and good venue.
Holmfirth - Holmfirth Picturedrome
Brilliant! from Teresa141, 29/05/13Fish has really polished his performance! Gone are the days when he relied on fans to know the lyrics, when he would constantly forget. All in all a really fabulous gig and I didnt even mind him shaking his head at me for shaking my camera on his face, his words not mine. Fab to hear old and new tracks equally and loved the war related trio. Very interesting when you could hear what with someone nattering through it to my right. He knows you know was a real treat! I still have the fully signed 12 on my wall! Ive been a fish company and dare I say Marillion web fan for years. After this show???? I always will be! Great show Derek W Dick! Please come back soon! Leeds maybe?
About this Artist
Artist Biography
Former Marillion frontman whose solo material has built on his already solid reputation as singer and songwriter. Fish's music defies trends and fashion and it's a brave statement in these days of banal musical small talk. His career, spanning almost 20 years of the entertainment industry, is notable for his charismatic stage performances and uncom...

collection of chic pendants that capture their intrigue and allure.
Tiffany gold is 18k gold of uncompromised purity.

The second Anchor Review, a pocket-sized magazine-and-reprint journal of high standards, mildly radical leanings and rare appearance, would be something to buy even without its 90-page excerpt from the notorious Lolita. But emasculated as it is, this first American edition of Vladimir Nabokov's novel is a major literary event, worth all the attention we can spare.
Pnin By Vladimir Nabokov (Doubleday; $3.50) When some of these sketches appeared in The New Yorker, it was clear that an extraordinarily memorable figure had been created, an individual so appealing and telling and plausible that he would not easily be forgotten. And now that we have seen Pnin even more distinctly, his idiosyncracies and above all the charm and the melancholy of his life still more touchingly illuminated, we recognize in him, as in Oblmov or Gregor Samsa, the superb fictional embodiment of a particular yet universal human situation.
For five years the West has been baffled by the strange flight to Russia of Donald Maclean and Guy Burgess, two officials in the British Foreign Office. Both were in disgrace. Burgess had just been sent back from America after the British Embassy in Washington had been driven nearly mad by his drunken behavior and incompetence. Maclean, son of a puritanical Scotsman who was at one time a Minisiter in a Liberal Government, was under far graver suspicion.
Only an act of God can keep Herman Talmadge out of the United States Senate," is the way a Georgia politician sums up the situation in his state. No active opposition of consequence to Talmadge has shown up. It is safe to say that nobody of political consequence cares to dispute the right of way with "Hummon." This is startling, in view of Georgia's history of bitter factionalism—startling until one realizes that there is now but one faction, due to the domination sedulously built up by Talmadge in the decade since his father's death.

Goals: Like its twin, Helios 1, which was launched about 14 months earlier, this spacecraft was to make pioneering measurements of the interplanetary medium from the vicinity of Earth's orbit to about 0.3 AU from the Sun.
Accomplishments: Helios 2 looped around the Sun in an orbit that took it from Earth's orbit (1 AU from the Sun) to about 0.29 AU from the Sun and back again, flying some 3 million km closer to the Sun than did its predecessor. The spacecraft provided information on solar plasma, the solar wind, cosmic rays, and cosmic dust, and also performed magnetic-field and electrical-field experiments.

I was looking for a relatively inexpensive Blu-ray player. The Wi-Fi was a plus. I have another Blu-ray player that uses a wireless link that was a pain to hook up setting wise and such. Not to add the additional expense for the wireless link. The hook up was simple. The setting took awhile to figure out since I have an Apple Airport Extreme. But not too difficult to figure out. The basic Blu-ray player was all I was looking for, but the additional bells & whistles is a plus. I usually stick with Sony products since I've never had any problems with them. Fast shipping by Crutchfield, but that's always a given. Compact size. Pros: Price. Hook-Up. Netflix & Pandora. Cons: It took awhile to figure out the Wi-Fi settings using an Airport Extreme. Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony BDP-S390 Written By Anonymous, Easton, Ct. on Friday, January 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fast delivery, with excellent products. All of my purchases from Crutchfield have been very satisfactory. Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony Bluray S390 Written By MarcR, Bismarck, ND on Friday, January 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The player was easy to set up and start using. I can't give it 5 stars because we had problems trying to view some bluray discs. Not sure what that is all about and I did check to make sure all the updates were downloaded, and still we had trouble playing Universal Studios movies. Pros: Easy setup Cons: Wouldn't play some movies. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony BDP-S390 Great Product! Turned my LED TV into A Smart TV! Written By LynneC, Houston on Thursday, January 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First, it is a great Blu-Ray DVD player. This is the second Sony BDP-S390 Blu-ray internet enabled player we have purchased. We bought a new LED television at Christmas so we moved our other TV, with the other Sony player, to my husband's den. We were so pleased with this Sony that we looked at other reviews, campared to it another brand we have on another TV, and decided this was the way to go again. The footprint is quite small, and has a very quiet operation. Set-up could not be easier. The video streaming is excellent as is the sound from online music. The web interface allows access to so many things including Facebook. Not something I will use much, but it is there. We decided against buying a Smart TV and going the route of a great LED TV and adding the "smart" by way of the Sony. That way if anything goes wrong, we are not out all or nothing. We highly recommend this player. Pros: Small footprint, easy set-up, great picture, quick download video streaming. And did I mention small foot print!!!! Cons: The only con would be that since the internet browswer is not directly in the TV so there is a little more delay than a "smart TV would have", but we understood that. It is nothing that would be a negative. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No New to Blu-Ray player Written By pm, Lancaster CA on Tuesday, January 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We have only had our new Blu-Ray player for a few days. Got it for Christmas. Only played one Blu-Ray DVD on it so far, but the quality was great! Easy to use and set up, but trying to figure out a more permanent location for it in within our home. Everyone wants it hooked up on their TV. Pros: Easy to use and small footprint. Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony BDP-S390 Written By Anonymous, Washington, DC on Monday, January 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very compact. Good quality picture. Was this review helpful? Yes No Good but not great Written By KenS, Springfield VA on Sunday, December 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this product for use in our family room. Already have two other Sony Blue-Ray players. This has all the features I wanted -- but quality seems not as good as the other Sony players we own. Sony has apparently dropped support for the 5GHz WiFi band -- I don't see it on any of their new players. I bought a dual-band WiFi router primarily to increase reliability for video use. Picture quality for watching BD disks, and streaming TV shows, seems as good as our other players. I don't need 3D, so I did not investigate the higher-end players. But the GUI is slow to respond, and the menu items are not as crisp on the screen as our other players (PS3 and BDP-S570). Overall impression is average quality - disappointing for a Sony product. Pros: Low price Cons: GUI seems slow to respond. Sony products no longer appear to support 5GHz WiFi band. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Written By John, Florida on Thursday, November 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Internet radio feature is great. Has free access to my favorite sites. Could have a more informative front panel. Was this review helpful? Yes No Quality and economy Written By Anonymous, Colorado on Sunday, October 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) To be less than $100, there are so meany features of this player. Great product! Was this review helpful? Yes No Solid player Written By Max, Tennessee on Sunday, September 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A solid well priced player with nice streaming features. The Sony BDP-S390 is a bargain considering the price and feature set. It plays Blu-Ray disc well, has a good selection of internet streaming services, and good DLNA support. My Roku is faster at loading Netflix but then Roku does not support Netflix for Kids or Vudu. If you want one device to play disc and stream internet services the BDP-S390 fits the bill, you can get slightly better internet streaming performance and some specific services from a Roku but at a increased cost of 50-100% if you want a Blu-Ray player as well. The BDP-S390 does not have its own display or 3D support I knew that when I bought it, if you want those feature pay attention and buy the S590. Pros: Vudu Price vs performance Supports Dolby Digital + for internet streaming Cons: None 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Decent player Written By Ninestone, DFW, TX on Sunday, September 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a decent disc media player. Loading times aren't speedy, but not too long either. We were happy to see it plays VCDs, which wasn't clear from the description or the manual. The Netflix interface is much better than that on the XBOX360, which we were using previously, especially for navigating TV show seasons. However, there are audio sync problems when trying to watch Netflix with Dolby 5.1 audio. Changing the Netflix audio to Stereo fixes the sync issue. WiFi works well. The biggest disappointment has been that there is no "resume" function when watching discs. If your interrupted and have to finish watching later, you have to go through the previews and menus again and manually figure out where you left off. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No sony bdps390 Written By Lorenzo, Atlanta, Georgia on Monday, July 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A good Blu-ray player easy to set up to the internet. Works great. I watched Crackle using this player. Pros: Small compact, projects a good high definition picture. Cons: No display on the dvd player. It will display on the television . A little bothersome for playing CD'S. You should not have to turn on the television for CD'S. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Connected to the internet instantly and have had no problem since. This replaced a samsung BRP that never played blue ray discs since day one...but thats another story. Priced right and hightly recommended. Pros: Easy hook up and easy internet set up. Cons: Haven't found one yet. 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony BDP-S390 Has No Display Written By Gary, Potsdam, NY on Saturday, June 02, 2012 Sony's BDP-S390 Blu-ray/DVD/CD player works fine in most respects. But potential buyers should be aware of one unpleasant surprise: The player does NOT have a front panel display. That's right - no display at all. For playing video discs, this is not a problem, since your television serves as the display. But, it makes playing music CDs extremely difficult. You have no idea what track you're on, and have no indication that the player has even recognized the disc. You're totally in the dark! I bought this player for my wife's system and, after trying it, I wouldn't even let her use it. I took it back, and "upgraded" to the next model up - the BDP-S590. Unfortunately, the BDP-S590 didn't really solve the problem. It has a front panel display, but the display shows only time information. It does not display the track number. If you intend to use either of these players for video only, they'll be fine. But, if you play audio CDs, I'd look elsewhere. Pros: Works well for the money on video discs. Cons: No front panel display makes playing audio CDs extremely difficult. 17 out of 19 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The resolution is up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) and the data transfer rate is up to 54 mbps. Blu-ray Disc discs and players offer several advantages over the standard DVD format: Better Picture Quality: Blu-ray Disc is a true high-definition format offering video at 720p, 1080i, or 1080p resolution. While standard DVDs look very good on an HDTV, they don't provide a high-definition signal (not even when you use an up-converting DVD player). Blu-ray Disc delivers an extraordinarily sharp, clean, detailed picture, with deeper, richer colors. Better Sound Quality: In addition to the same multi-channel sound formats you're accustomed to with DVD (Dolby Digital and DTS), Blu-ray Disc offers Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution, and uncompressed 7.1 channel PCM. Greater Storage Capacity: What makes Blu-ray Disc's superior picture and sound possible is the much higher storage capacity of Blu-ray Disc discs. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 25 gigabytes of data, over five times the amount a standard DVD can hold. Dual-layer Blu-ray Discs hold 50 gigabytes, which equates to nine hours of High Definition or 23 hours of Standard Definition video, plus high-resolution multi-channel audio and the added features and material that require multiple discs with standard DVD. Backward Compatible: To ensure backward-compatibility with your existing library of discs, Blu-ray Disc players use a dual-laser mechanism: a blue laser for playing high-definition Blu-ray Discs, and a conventional red laser for playing DVDs and audio CDs. Note: Like DVD, BD uses region codes. The region code on your disc must match the region code on your player, otherwise the disc will not play. The BDP-S390 is Blu-ray region A and DVD region 1. Blu-ray Disc uses the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) to prevent unauthorized recording of copyrighted material. Firmware Updates: As Blu-Ray technology continues to evolve, new disc types with enhanced functionality will become available. In order for you to enjoy this new functionality, you will likely be required to update the firmware in your player. These firmware updates will become available for downloading from the Internet. Occasionally, Sony may release updated firmware for this unit that may add or improve the way a feature operates. These updates are available free of charge. This unit is capable of checking the firmware automatically when connected to the Internet via broadband connection. Note: The tested Sony BDP-S390 Blu-ray player contained firmware version M11.R0060 (as of 4/18/2012). There was an immediate firmware upgrade (M11.R0320) available. Visit the Sony eSupport Site for the latest firmware update information. AVCHD: AVCHD (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) is a high definition digital video camera format used to record in high definition or standard definition on DVD, using an efficient data compression coding technology. The format is designed to compress video and audio (Dolby Digital or Linear PCM) data, enabling a high definition video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it would be for a standard definition signal. MPEG Playback: The Sony Blu-ray disc player supports playback of MPEG (1-2-4) video files recorded on BD-RE, BD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD-R, and CD-RW discs. Still-Image Playback: This unit will play JPEG/GIF/PNG still picture files recorded onto BD-RE, BD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD-R, and CD-RW discs. Still images on your disc can be viewed in a Slide-Show as well as rotated 90-degrees left or right. MP3/WMA/AAC Playback: The BDP-S390 supports MP3/WMA/AAC audio files recorded on BD-R/RE, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs. When stopped and restarted, playback resumes at the same point as long as the tray hasn't been opened and the player hasn't been turned off. SACD: Super Audio CD use a technology called Direct Stream Digital (DSD) to convert music into a digital signal that can be stored on a disc. Compared to the traditional PCM method (the technology used for CD), DSD offers a much higher resolution by following more closely the original waveform of music. With a frequency response of over 100kHz and a dynamic range over 120dB across the audible frequency range - some 64 times higher resolution then CD - Super Audio CD offers music reproduction that reveals details you just cannot hear on a normal CD. Video Features Video Outputs: The Sony BDP-S390 Blu-ray disc player features one high-definition HDMI output and one standard-definition composite video output. HDMI (ver.1.3): The BDP-S390's HDMI output simplifies A/V connections by carrying video and digital audio in one cable. The HDMI resolution can be fixed at 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p, or set to Auto, which selects the highest resolution accepted by your television. Composite Video: The composite video output will only output 480i, no matter the source. Note: This player does not offer a component or S-video output. Precision Cinema HD Upscaling: Through the HDMI output, the BDP-S390 is capable of upscaling the resolution of your standard DVDs. Output options include Auto (highest resolution accepted by the TV), 1080p (60 Hz video or 24 Hz), 1080i, or 720p. If necessary the output resolution can also be set to 480p or 480i. 24p True Cinema: Movies are typically recorded on film with a frame rate of 24 frames per second. When a movie is transferred to Blu-ray Disc at 24 frames per second the BDP-S390 will output that signal to the TV (if the TV will accept the 1080p/24 format) with no need for conversion. Deep Color: The Sony Blu-ray player supports a color depth of up to 12 bits. Connecting the player and a TV that supports Deep Color via HDMI allows more accurate color reproduction than when connecting it to a TV that does not support Deep Color.

Foxborough, MA (Sports Network) - Joe Licata completed 18-of-30 attempts for 226 yards and two touchdowns as the Buffalo Bulls overcame a double-digit deficit to defeat the Massachusetts Minutemen, 29-19, in a Mid-American Conference duel at Gillette Stadium.
Brandon Murie paced Buffalo (4-7, 3-4 MAC) on the ground with 90 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Alex Neutz reeled in a game-high nine receptions for 76 yards and a score while Fred Lee made an impact with three grabs for 93 yards. Khalil Mack anchored the Bulls' defensive unit with 15 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles.
Mike Wegzyn had a difficult time while under center for UMass (1-10, 1-6). Wegzyn completed 50 percent of his passes for 215 yards and a touchdown, but he was intercepted twice and sacked eight times. Alan Williams pulled in seven receptions for 62 yards while Deion Walker caught five passes for a team-best 83 yards. Perry McIntyre recorded a team-high 13 tackles and a sack for the Minutemen.
The only points of the opening period came courtesy of a made 39-yard field goal by UMass place kicker Blake Lucas.
Lucas added a 32-yard field goal with just under six minutes left in the half to increase the Minutemen's advantage to six points. UMass extended its lead to 13-0 with under a minute remaining before the break when Wegzyn completed a 14- yard touchdown pass to Rob Blanchflower.
After the offense failed to put any points on the board in the opening half, the Bulls' special teams unit helped out as Kyn Minniefield returned a blocked punt 33 yards for a touchdown at the 10:31 mark of the third stanza.
The Minutemen responded at the mid-point of the third quarter with a touchdown of their own as Cox punched it in from three-yards out to give the home team a 19-7 advantage on the scoreboard.
Licata brought UB within striking distance with just over two minutes left before the final frame by punctuating an 11-play, 79-yard drive with a three- yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Gordon. The Bulls' first offensive touchdown of the contest cut their deficit to 19-14.
In the final quarter of play, Licata gave the Bulls their first lead of the contest by finding Alex Neutz in the end zone from six yards away. Murie added some insurance with a 12-yard touchdown run, which gave Buffalo a 29-19 advantage with only two minutes left on the clock.
Although it struggled to produce points early on in the contest, Buffalo amassed 405 yards of total offense. UMass averaged just 3.5 yards per play to gain 264 yards of total offense.

There are two ways the proposed Purple Line station in downtown Bethesda can be built, county and state officials told residents Tuesday night as they outlined options for the $2.2 billion light rail project designed to link Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
Montgomery County and Maryland Transit Administration officials were on hand at an open house at the Bethesda Chevy Chase Regional Service Center to discuss the new plans, which have not been finalized. The Purple Line's western terminus station is slated to be built at the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Elm Street, below the building that now houses the Regal Bethesda 10 movie theater.
Under one scenario, the county persuades the owner of the Apex building at 7272 Wisconsin Ave. to vacate the property for four or five years. The building could then be razed before the station is constructed. In exchange for allowing that, the owner could be given denser zoning when it was time to rebuild. The owner also could sell the property with that higher density zoning designation.
The second option, which is less preferable to the county, would entail working around — and under — the building if the owner refused to vacate the property.
The Maryland Transit Administration has said it needs to know the status of the property by the end of the year.
The owner, the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, has been in discussions with the county, which is a change from earlier this year, when the parties were not communicating.
"They're starting to look at redevelopment options," said Donald Tusing, an engineer with Rummel Klepper & Kahl of Baltimore. The engineering and construction company has won an eight-year, $60 million contract from the state transit agency to build the station.
Building the station with the Apex building still standing would mean a narrower passenger platform on a curve, which can cause problems, said David Anspacher, a planner coordinator with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. By demolishing the Apex building, a wider platform could be constructed, which would be safer for passengers to walk on, and the tracks could be straight.
Because the Metro Red Line runs beneath Wisconsin Avenue, the Purple Line station entrance also would be a place for passengers to board the Red Line, Tusing said. A full eight-car train will span the 600 feet from the corner of Elm and Wisconsin to the existing Red Line Metro station, allowing passengers to enter at either station.
"The goal is to have seamless transfer," Tusing said. Fares on the Purple Line will be equivalent to Metro fares, he said, and passengers will be able to use Metro's SmarTrip cards.
If all goes as planned, preliminary construction could begin as early as the fall of 2014, with the major work starting in the winter of 2015.
Also on display at Tuesday's meeting were three options for the nearby Capital Crescent Trail. One version was above ground, one had a slight tunnel and was 14 feet wide, and the third had a longer tunnel and was 16 feet wide. Residents have been asked to submit comments about which version they prefer, Tusing said.
Two more open houses are scheduled to be held: from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday, both at the regional services center, 4805 Edgemoor Lane, Bethesda.

South Cumbria's needy walking 20 miles for free food
Last updated at 16:48, Tuesday, 04 December 2012
SOUTH Cumbria's food crisis has reached disturbing levels following shocking revelations some people are walking up to 20 miles to access emergency rations.
A coalition of local churches is desperate to open satellite branches of the Barrow Foodbank in Ulverston and Millom to ease the region's growing rate of chronic hunger.
The urgency comes as reports emerge that some residents are having to walk from Ulverston to Barrow to pick up their food parcels.
The Barrow Foodbank has fed 248 adults and 55 children since opening its doors in late July and it has become increasingly apparent to organisers that the need for food relief extends far beyond Barrow's boundaries.
Ulverston Parish Church – in conjunction with four or five other churches in the town – will distribute the first food parcels from its Church Walk site tomorrow morning.
Reverend Andy Batchelor said: "The Barrow people are aware that there is a number of Ulverston people – some of them walking over to Barrow – that are in need.
"It's not just people who are unemployed, but also people who maybe have jobs but they're not the kind of jobs that bring in enough money to support the family, which is disturbing."
The Barrow and District Disability Association is one of the few organisations with the power to refer users to the foodbank.
Its honorary secretary Margaret Burrow MBE said: "We have come across people whose benefits have not come through because of all the changes and we have had to make referrals to the foodbank."
Pastor Fred McKeown from Millom Community Church said there was undoubtedly a need in the town.
"I'm 100 per cent behind having foodbanks in the community, but it would only work if it was a joint effort between the churches," he said.
Meanwhile, Barrow Foodbank's future is looking increasingly secure after the country's biggest supermarket chain pledged its long-term support.
Tesco has signed a seven-year partnership agreement with the charity Trussell Trust, which oversees a network of more than 280 foodbanks across the UK.
And, in an added boost, the grocery giant has also committed to topping up donations by 30 per cent and providing funding to the organisations responsible for the foodbanks.
Foodbank treasurer Dot Jackson said the scheme would not only result in more donations, but also free it from many of the expenses that come with running the growing service.
"It's really a big bonus for us," she said. "This is really important because we've never had to buy food before due to the generosity of people in the area who donate every week.
"But we still need things like printing ink and paper and markers and we will be able to get these from Tesco using this new card system, which is fantastic."
Last weekend, a Christmas drive at Tesco in Barrow saw 1,185 kilograms of food – equivalent to the weight of a car – donated by local shoppers.
The Ulverston Foodbank will be open at the Church Walk site from 11am to 1pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

I recently made this cake for my boyfriend's birthday and it was a hit! Wonderful rich chocolate taste. YUMMY!
This is a 10!
This cake is a quick, yummy dessert that's a little more dressed up than a plain box mix. For an even richer, deep flavor, replace the 1/2 cup of water with the same amount of cold, black coffee (the darker the better!) You won't taste the coffee when it's baked, it just adds a richer flavor to the cake. So yummy!

What is a martingale and how it compares with a random walk in the context of the Efficient Market Hypothesis?
Samuelson suggested in 1965 that the stock prices follow a martingale (see P. Samuelson "Proof That Properly Anticipated Prices Fluctuate Randomly").
Assume there is a security with a random payoff $X_T$ at date $T$. Let $..., P_{t–1}, P_t, P_{t+1},...$ be the time series of prices of a security with this payoff. Finally, define the price change $\Delta P_{t+1}=P_{t+1} – P_{t}$ for any pair of successive dates $t$ and $t + 1$. Samuelson begins by defining "properly anticipated prices" as prices that are equal to the expected value of $X_T$ at every date $t \leq T$, based on the information $\Phi_t$ available at date t (which, in particular, includes the present and all past price realizations for that security, $...,P_{t–2}, P_{t–1}, P_t$). That is, for all $t \leq T$: $$P_t = \mathbb E(X_T|\Phi_t).$$
In particular, $P_T = X_T$. He then proves that the "prices fluctuate randomly" since it follows that for all $t \leq T$, $P_t = \mathbb E(P_{t+1}|\Phi_t)$ or alternatively that $\mathbb E(\Delta P_{t+1}|\Phi_t) = 0$, and $$\mathbb E(\Delta P_{t+1}\Delta P_{t+2}...\Delta P_T|\Phi_t) = \mathbb E(\Delta P_{t+1}|\Phi_t) \mathbb E(\Delta P_{t+2}|\Phi_t)...\mathbb E(\Delta P_T|\Phi_t)=0.$$ In words, prices follow a martingale, and successive price changes are mutually uncorrelated.
This implies that if "prices are properly anticipated," all the information in the past price series that is useful for forecasting next period's expected price is contained in the current price. Note that this is a much weaker statement than to say that all information in the past price series that is useful for forecasting the probability distribution of next period's price is contained in the current price (which is the random walk hypothesis suggested by Fama in his thesis).
A martingale is a random process $X(t)$ which has the following properties:
$ E[X(T)|\mathcal{F}_t] = X(t) $
for $T > t$ and
$ E[|X(T)|] < \infty $
where $\mathcal{F}_t$ is the filtration at time $t$.
A martingale is a random walk, but not every random walk is a martingale. A Brownian random walk is a martingale if it does not have drift.
Also, a martingale does not have to be a Markov process.
EMH is not directly related to martingales.
Often one will find the argument that a random walk of price changes would be a proof of the efficient market hypothesis, but this is (IMO) a logical fallacy: Only because the EMH does imply random walks in the price changes, the finding of random walks does not imply automagically that the EMH is true.
A martingale can be viewed as a fair game (a game in which there is no arbitrage strategy)
A (centered) random walk is a martingale (think of it as the total Gain of the fair game)
If EFH is in order, then you can think that all information is in the current price, I think this more comparable to Markov Property than to Martingale property.
Hope that this helps a bit

Most City of Portland employees work in city buildings, conducting their work over the phone, and at their computers. Employees of public works bureaus find themselves working outdoors, replacing water and sewer pipes, fixing potholes or repaving roads. They rarely encounter any animals wilder than the occasional office spider or a Canada goose.
But some Water Bureau employees come across real wild animals in the course of their work.
During the week of September 2nd, while conducting fish surveys in the lower Bull Run River, (well below the water intake pipe that brings your drinking water to town), fish biologist Burke Strobel came across a black bear, perhaps doing some fish surveys of his own.
While bear sightings in the Bull Runwatershed are hardly rare, it is rare that someone would have a camera ready to record its presence.

The Marcellus Shale Safe Drilling Initiative Advisory Commission announced Monday a series of recommendations to protect landowners and the state from the risks of natural gas drilling through hydraulic fracturing.
The commission, tasked with making recommendations on how to regulate natural gas drilling in Western Maryland, voted to recommend a Surface Owner Protection Act, which protects landowners who do not own the rights to the minerals under their land from economic, health and environmental damage caused by drilling. The commission also recommended a state severance tax to be paid by companies extracting nonrenewable resources, and a landmen registration to keep track of individuals working for oil and gas companies to obtain leases from landowners.
The recommendations will be presented to the General Assembly, which could create legislation in the 2013 session that starts Wednesday.
However, the recommendations leave out key elements, including which landowners would be covered under a Surface Owner Protection Act, and the amount of the severance tax. Such details will have to be worked out during the legislative process, commission members said.
Hydraulic fracturing, commonly called fracking, is a drilling process in which a mixture of water, sand and chemicals is pumped into the ground to release gas trapped in rock formations.
Commissioners disagreed on whether landowners who signed leases without an understanding of the risks of fracking should be retroactively covered by a Surface Owner Protection Act, and could not reach consensus on whether landowners with mineral rights also should be protected beyond protections written into leases.
A severance tax is levied when a company removes nonrenewable resources. Garrett and Allegany counties already levy a 5.5 percent severance tax on natural gas, and the commission is calling for an additional state tax, which would take into account local taxes and the tax rates in surrounding states. Revenue from the severance tax would go into a fund to mitigate any negative effects of the drilling.
The recommendations come as some legislators continue to call for a statutory moratorium on hydraulic fracturing, the method by which natural gas in the Marcellus Shale formation would be extracted.
The Marcellus Shale formation, which holds the largest store of natural gas in the country, runs under the Appalachian Mountains in New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Allegany and Garrett counties in Western Maryland.
"I'm pleased with some of the recommendations coming out of the commission, but what's glaring is that there are more questions than answers," said Del. Heather R. Mizeur (D-Dist. 20) of Takoma Park.
Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) issued an executive order in 2011 that bars state agencies from approving drilling permits until after extensive study of the health and environmental effects of fracking is conducted, although the order did not include a funding provision for such studies. About 160,000 acres have been leased in Maryland for drilling, though some of those leases have since lapsed, and no drilling permits have been issued.
"We have not weighed in on the all-important question of whether to go forward," said David Vanko, chairman of the commission and dean of the Jess and Mildred Fisher College of Science and Mathematics at Towson University. "That's part of our directive, and we have about another year to get to that."

Gallery: Lush Living Wall Masks the Construction Site of a New Philadel...
Shake Shack is set to open their new Philly restaurant in the beginning of the summer at 2000 Sansom Street (corner of 20th and Sansom), near beautiful Rittenhouse Square in Center City. Until it's complete, they've got a temporary wall up around the construction site. But rather than let that be a boring old plywood wall, they asked Philadelphia-based designers and living installation fabricators Shift_Design to create a totally unique living wall to cover the construction site.
The vertical garden is reminiscent of the burger shack's first permanent kiosk which was covered in ivy to make it more harmonious with its location in a Manhattan park. Shift_Design's installation features an array of custom panels and planters made from recycled steel filled with varying types of ivy, seasonal flowers, trailing vines, and evergreen shrubs. The installation and the signage givepasserby something more pleasant to look at and breathes a little fresh air into the busy street. After construction is complete and the temporary wall is taken down, Shake Shack will donate the plants and planters to the Rittenhouse Square Flower Market for Children's Charities.

Saturday, February 14, 2004KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 14, 2004) - The East Tennessee State University men's tennis team fell to the No. 54 ranked University of Tennessee in a 4-3 decision in the last second on Saturday night at UT's Goodfriend Indoor Tennis Center. The Bucs' record now stands at 4-2. "This match shows how close we are to great SEC teams," stated head coach Yaser Zaatini. "Tennis is not a game of inches, but we were a point away from beating a team that went on to the National Championships twice." UT began the match by winning the doubles point defeating the teams of Diego Iglesias (Mar del Plata, Argentina) and Moisés Serrano (Bucaramanga, Columbia) 8-5 in the No. 2 slot and Fernando Fiuri (Villa Maria, Argentina) and Felix Insaurralde (Asunción, Paraguay), No. 3. In singles action, freshman Oscar Posada (Valencia, Venezuela) defeated Damien Spizzo in straight sets to tie the team score 1-1. The dead lock was short-lived, however, as the Vols' Ben Rogers put together a 6-2, 6-2 ousting of Buccaneer junior Serrano to give the Vols a 2-1 advantage. Senior Iglesias outlasted Ockie Oosthuizen in three sets, resulting in another team-score tie at 2-2. But moments later, Kiril Tcherveniachki netted a win over Fiuri to tip the scales in UT's favor. "Once again Diego demonstrated great leadership with his hard fought victory at No. 3," said Zaatini. All eyes then turned to the battle in progress at the No. 1 position, where Buccaneer senior Alejandro Salazar (Arequipa, Peru) had split sets with No. 64-ranked Simon Rea. The two veterans played themselves into a dramatic third-set tiebreaker, in which Rea was able to defeat Salazar 2-6, 6-0, 7-6(5) to clinch the match for UT. Zaatini stated, "Alejandro also showed leadership on the courts. He lost a heartbreaking match and never gave up." "I'm not satisfied with the loss, but I'm extremely proud of how the seniors and newcomers played against the No. 54 ranked team." The Bucs move on in their spring schedule for a pair of matches. They will face Wake Forest on Feb. 20 and North Carolina Sate on Feb. 21. No. 54 Tennessee 4, ETSU 3 Singles 1. #64 Simon Rea (UT) def. Alejandro Salazar (ETSU) 2-6, 6-0, 7-6 2.

Another weekend gone by, and the Eastern Conference playoff picture is still no clearer. With the Dynamo off after a midweek draw against Sporting Kansas City, the eyes of the Orange faithful were watching a few other scores from around the conference.
New England Revolution 1, Montreal Impact 0
New England came up with a big road victory to keep pace in the playoff chase, temporarily putting them in the fifth spot before the other games finished. When the dust settled on Saturday night, their 45 points were only good enough for seventh place, but it's only a single point behind the Chicago Fire in the last playoff spot.
New England has two matches against the Columbus Crew, who were eliminated from playoff contention this weekend, to finish out the regular season.
Montreal's loss kept them two points back of the Dynamo as they begin to make up their games in hand. Montreal has one game left to play before they are even in games played with the rest of the conference, this Wednesday against the LA Galaxy. We'll get more into how this match affects the Dynamo's postseason hopes further down the page.
Philadelphia Union 1, D.C. United 1
D.C. United nearly pulled out the impossible result, but instead only got the improbable thanks to Jack McInerney's 90th minute equalizer. The draw gave Philly 46 points, tied with Montreal and Chicago, but the Union reside in sixth place by virtue of the games won tiebreaker.
Philadelphia's road doesn't get any easier, as they travel to Montreal before hosting Sporting Kansas City in their season finale.
Chicago got the result they needed in Frisco, which pulled them into the pile-up of teams on 46 points, two behind the Dynamo. FC Dallas was eliminated in the Western Conference with the loss.
The Fire have dates against Toronto FC and the New York Red Bulls to close the year.
Playing on Sunday and with a pack of three teams just two points behind them, it's possible that the Dynamo will go into their match against the New York Red Bulls (3:00 p.m. CT; TICKETS) below the red line. Of course, it's also possible that they will go into the match with the opportunity to punch their ticket to the playoffs, depending on Wednesday's Galaxy vs. Impact result.
If Montreal ties or loses on Wednesday, here's what must happen for the Dynamo to clinch a playoff spot:
- Dynamo win vs. New York Red Bulls AND
- Chicago tie or lose vs. Toronto FC OR
- New England Revolution tie or lose vs. Columbus Crew
If Montreal wins in Los Angeles, the scenario changes to this:
- Dynamo win vs. New York Red Bulls AND two of the following:
- Philadelphia Union tie or lose vs. Montreal Impact AND/OR
- Chicago Fire tie or lose vs. Toronto FC AND/OR
- New England Revolution tie or lose vs. Columbus Crew
Obviously, all that the Dynamo must worry about is to continue winning and their playoff status will eventually work itself out.

After the Wednesday night draw against Sporting Kansas City, the Dynamo failed to make up any ground on their perennial rivals in the Eastern Conference standings. They were able to pick up a crucial point, however, and have the weekend off before returning to the pitch against the New York Red Bulls in the regular season home finale on Oct. 20 (TICKETS).
With the Dynamo inactive this weekend, let's take a look at some of the big matches you need to pay attention to in the Eastern Conference that will have major effects on the Dynamo's playoff hopes and seeding.
Montreal Impact vs. New England Revolution (Saturday, 1:30 p.m.)
Montreal is now two points back of the Dynamo with two games in hand, which they make up on Saturday against New England and next Wednesday against the LA Galaxy. New England, meanwhile, is sitting on the outside of the playoffs spots with 42 points, three behind fifth place Philadelphia Union.
New England faces a tough task on the road, but they were seconds away from defeating first place New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena last week and Montreal is winless in their last four matches.
A draw or Montreal loss would be the ideal situation here, as the Dynamo are keen to holding onto the third spot or higher, meaning that they would bypass the 4 vs. 5 playoff match to begin the postseason. If New England wins out, the best they could do is draw level with the Dynamo on points.
D.C. United vs. Philadelphia Union (Saturday, 6:00 p.m.)
Philadelphia, occupying the fifth and final playoff spot, are three points behind the Dynamo in third place and two points ahead of the Chicago Fire in sixth. They go on the road to last-place and U.S. Open champion D.C. United this weekend needing a win to ensure that they stay in playoff position at least for another week. A draw, and Chicago could leapfrog them above the red line. A loss, and both Chicago and New England would have the chance to push past the Union.
Clearly, the Dynamo would like D.C. to do the improbable and get a home win. The Black and Red played well in a 3-0 loss to the Fire last week, as odd as that may sound, and they did recently knock off Real Salt Lake in Utah to claim a championship trophy. The more points that teams below the Dynamo drop, the sooner the Dynamo can clinch a playoff spot and we can all breathe a little bit easier.
FC Dallas vs. Chicago Fire (Saturday, 7:30 p.m.)
It's the Brimstone Cup! Two heated rivals (sorry) do battle in one of the final non-conference matches of the season. Chicago is two points back of Philadelphia for the last playoff spot.
As much as it may burn (again, terribly sorry), Dynamo fans will want to root for FC Dallas in this one. Again, the Dynamo would like as much of a gap between them and the teams below them as possible. According to SportsClubsStats.com, a Fire win is the result this weekend that would most negatively impact the Dynamo's playoff chances.
New York and Sporting Kansas City both have the weekend off as well, so they have no impact on the standings until next weekend. The Dynamo can come out of this weekend either steady in third position, dropped to fourth or all the way down to the last playoff spot. Regardless, the Dynamo will be five points behind New York with two games left to play when they meet on Oct. 20.
Put on your orange and settle in, it's going to be a fun final few weeks.

Jasper County-Indiana State Police Trooper Corey DuPuy responded to a single vehicle crash, early this morning, where a Crown Point woman rolled her vehicle on I-65.
Preliminary investigation revealed that, at approximately 12:10 am, Sunday, April 15th, a black 1999 Honda Accord, driven by Brianna Thompson, 18 of Crown Point, was north bound on I-65 at the 206.8 mile marker (this is approximately two miles north of the Remington/Rensselaer exit) when for unknown reasons the Accord drifted off the roadway.
The Accord drifted to the left, into the median, where it hit the steel median barrier cables; this caused the Honda to rotate then roll-over. Thompson and her passenger, Dylon Collins, 16 of Gary, were initially entrapped in the Accord but were able to free themselves from the vehicle before DuPuy arrived.
Thompson and Collins were taken to Jasper County Hospital in Rensselaer for non-life threatening injuries. Thompson had cuts, bruises and a back injury. Collins had cuts and abrasions and complained of pain to the back.
Thompson was not wearing a seat belt and was cited
for that violation.
The left lane of I-65 northbound was closed for approximately an hour for removal of the injured and the vehicle.

|Shepherd's Pie
by Chef Laura Frankel, ChefLaurasKosher.com
Bubbly, delicious and nary a drop of matzo in sight! This crowd pleasing casserole is a snap to prepare. During the holiday, I want to spend more time with family and less time in the kitchen. This do-ahead dish is filling and can be assembled ahead of time, kept in the refrigerator while you do something else and then popped into the oven to be heated through.
I have modernized the recipe by replacing the mashed potatoes with garlicky parsnip and cauliflower puree. The vegetables make a creamy and delicious puree with the added benefit of having your decadent creamy mash and eating your veggies too.
For the filling:
Make the topping: Place a medium sauté pan, lightly coated with the olive oil, over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic has softened slightly (about 2 minutes).
Add the cauliflower, parsnips and chicken stock. Cover and cook until the vegetables are very tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed (about 20-30 minutes).
Transfer the vegetables to a food processor and pulse until the vegetables are a thick puree. Season with salt and pepper.
Make the filling: Heat a large sauté pan, lightly coated with the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and carrots and sauté just until they begin to take on color, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Add the ground chuck, salt and pepper and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes.
Sprinkle the meat with the potato starch and toss to coat, continuing to cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, thyme, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer slowly 10 to 12 minutes or until the sauce is thickened slightly.
Add the mushrooms to the meat mixture and spread evenly into an 11 by 15-inch baking dish or divide into individual ramekins. Top with the cauliflower and parsnip puree. Be sure to press the vegetable puree around the edges to keep the meat juices from bubbling over the top. Drizzle the top with olive oil and plenty of cracked pepper.
Place on a parchment lined half sheet pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes or just until the vegetable puree begins to brown. Remove from the oven and let stand to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Yield: serves a crowd

New Year's Eve and Champagne are a perfect (if sometimes pricey) pairing.

There is a solution to this alcoholic conundrum. Tracking down decently priced Champagne is easy if you know where to look.
Fortunately for you, we've spent the past week poring over (or simply pouring) the best bargain Champagnes around, and we found that you can get a pretty decent bottle of bubs for as little as a tenner. Yep, 10-pound coins. Roll up to your NYE party with one of these bottles of awesome and we promise you'll be the toast of the town (and still have cash left over).
