Shotgun Politics
June 25, Graffiti
Hong Kong has seen more than its fair share of indie bands come and go. The local musical community is small, but diverse - bands tend to break up and reform with new members with relative ease. And in a city full of life, changes and drama, few bands tend to stick together for more than a few years. So any band that has stayed together for more than a few years can be said to have paid its dues.
Shotgun Politics is one such band who have weathered it out together for almost three years. Last weekend they celebrated the release of their second studio album, Glow, by hosting a night of live music at Graffiti. Sporting ripped sleeves, black jeans, spiked hair and plenty of tattoos, Shotgun Politics played their signature blend of old-fashioned guitar-driven rock as well as some nu metal-inspired pieces that featured plenty of late-90s nostalgia.
The evening's set list consisted mostly of songs off the new album - including Carry On, the guitar melody of which sounds uncannily similar to Weezer's Say It Ain't So. By the chorus, the song segues into a Red Hot Chili Peppers-inspired guitar solo, invoking images of lonely Californian highways. By that point of the night, it was clear what musical influences Shotgun looked up to.
Though the band's line-up has changed over the years, the founding members of Shotgun Politics remain in the band. And at the CD launch event, Hong Kong's indie music lovers were thrilled to see a band that has stayed together - well, playing together.

Ceradyne Receives $16.4 Million ESAPI Order(Costa Mesa, Calif., August 27, 2009) -- Ceradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDN) received a $16.4 million ESAPI (Enhanced Small Arms Protective Inserts) order which is expected to be shipped late in the fourth quarter of 2009. This order is a delivery order issued by the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia against a larger ID/IQ (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity) three-year contract issued in December 2007. Ceradyne's practice is to only book firm delivery orders such as the above $16.4 million as backlog for scheduled delivery.
David P. Reed, Ceradyne President North American Operations, commented: "We are very pleased to have received this order and believe we will continue to ship this ESAPI product on time with the high standards of quality required. Based on non-binding conversations with the government, we believe that there will be an additional delivery order against the blanket ID/IQ contract this year."

Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 2003In the spring of 1974, Calliope Stephanides, a student at a girls' school in Grosse Pointe, finds herself drawn to a chain-smoking, strawberry-blonde classmate with a gift for acting. The passion that furtively develops between them - along with Callie's failure to develop physically - leads Callie to suspect that she is not like other girls. In fact, she is not really a girl at all.
The explanation for this shocking state of affairs is a rare genetic mutation - and a guilty secret - that have followed Callie's grandparents from the crumbling Ottoman Empire to Prohibition-era Detroit and beyond, outlasting the glory days of the Motor City, the race riots of 1967, and the family's second migration, into the foreign country known as suburbia. Thanks to the gene, Callie is part girl, part boy. And even though the gene's epic travels have ended, her own odyssey has only begun.
Spanning eight decades - and one unusually awkward adolescence - Jeffrey Eugenides' long-awaited second novel is a grand, original fable of crossed bloodlines, the intricacies of gender, and the deep, untidy promptings of desire.

©2002 Jeffrey Eugenides; (P)2002 Audio Renaissance, a division of Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC
Audie Award Winner, Fiction (Unabridged), 2003
" "Impressive [and] wonderfully engaging." (The New York Times)
"Eugenides proves that he is not only a unique voice in modern literature but also well versed in the nature of the human heart. Highly recommended." (Library Journal )
"A towering achievement...a story that manages to be both illuminating and transcendent...[Eugenides] has emerged as the great American writer many of us suspected him of being." (Los Angeles Times Book Review)
"Not only are his interpretations of the characters astonishingly credible, but his internalization of the narrative is nothing short of amazing." (Publishers Weekly)
Knowledge is knowing the way. Wisdom is looking for an alternative, more interesting road to get there. Audiobooks are that road.
"Not exactly what I expected"
I thought this book was going to be about a hermaphrodite. Although it was, the story involving Calliope Stephanides the main character in the book does not really come into play till approximately the last quarter of the book.
Instead, the book is a saga, starting back from Cal's grandparents and their journey out of Europe and to the US where Cal's parents come into play and finally Cal and his brother become part of the book. The journey is a fascinating one and quite enjoyable.
The narrator Kristoffer Tabori did a marvelous job reading and acting out this novel. It was long, but a good story, a difficult subject that was handled well.
"very different type novel"
My usual reading fare are mysteries, ie., Harry Bosh, Hercule Poirot, so when I started listening to "Middlesex" I wasn't sure I'd bother even downloading the next two tapes. However, the narrator had a way of capturing my reluctant attention. The interwinding of the past and present was done with such finesse that I barely noticed the flawless seams. The charactors were actually visible in my minds eye even though I did not always care for them. Although it is still not the "type" of book I would probably ever read again, I've found this one to be of excellent quality with superb narration.
"Maybe I'm Jaded"
And maybe this is damning with faint praise, but I thought this was a good book, not a great book. I would offer five stars only to a classic, and I think "Middlesex" unlikely to become one. The scope of the book was amazing, the characters well developed, and the story lines neatly tied up. It is a very handsome package, but not exactly a great gift.
For a book of its length, the listener should love the narrator. I found this one good at interpreting the characters and giving them distinctive voices, but occasionally over-the-top in his delivery -- sometimes even grating. I felt in some chapters that I was being harrangued -- not led -- through the narrative.
Still it is a gratifying glimpse into several subcultures and multiple time periods. It is well worth listening to, but hard to compare to Virginia Woolf's "Orlando" (as many do) except in the most literal aspects of the main character's sexuality. Whether this is literary fiction or just good best seller writing, I do not know.
"I wish I'd liked it better..."
I wish I'd liked it better but I found it really slow going and often I just honestly didn't feel anything for the characters or care what happened to them. When a book wins a major award you feel you should give it a chance, right? It certainly sounded like an interesting premise and I was prepared to enjoy it so I kept on listening beyond when I would have otherwise given up. All books aren't for all people so maybe this is a great author but this particular book is just not for me. Listen to the sample and decide if you like what you hear before you select this book.
"Other people's skeleton closet"
Excellent book. Of course, the reader is what makes it so good. Upon completion of this audio book, you will have received a lesson in Greek history, human physiology, and psychology. It is a little boring at the beginning, but when you get on the boat with yaya and papoo, you will start to experience one of the best audio rides you have ever taken. I've listened to about 100 audio books and this one ranks in my top 10!
12th year using Audible and while what I listen on changes over the years - the service and stories do not. Have over 400 titles in my library and Audible has helped me stay sane for 12+ years on my daily commute - I almost hope for traffic delays
"Different BUT well worth the time!"
Obviously - a quick read of the synopsis of this book will either turn people away or draw them in -- those who turn away will miss a fascinating story while those drawn in are about to reap a large reward!
The story is multi-leveled and does NOT over-focus on the "sex" angle and, in doing so, makes that part of the story even more real and touching. The narration is great as well -- add this to your cart and you won't be sorry!
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
"Wow, Absolutely outstanding"
Wow, I loved this book. I was at first put off by what I thought was the subject of the book's material and, while I am always loathe to give away too much in a review about book, its content is not a lurid description about deviant sex. This is a love story about an unusual relationship between a brother and sister that probably results in an unusual offspring two generations later. While the title of the book, Middlesex, describes a place, it is also a play on words that describes that third generation intersex offspring.
Middlesex won the Pulitzer Prize-winning and, I believe, rightfully so. Though not intersex himself, the book is apparently loosely based on aspects of the author's life and observations of his Greek heritage with occasional allusions to Greek mythology. The book is less about sexual acts but instead, it more explores elements of gender identity. The author's source of inspiration for the novel was Herculine Barbin, the diary of a 19th-century French convent schoolgirl who was intersex. However, this aspect of the book does not come to light till nearly its middle and all does not become completely clear till its end. The end, which at first, seemed to be somewhat rushed.
I will not continue to reveal more about the book for it is the unfolding of circumstances that helps to make this such a wonderful read. The book is well-written, exciting and never crude or again, lurid. The book is written with a sensitivity and compassion that should attract nearly any reader. Reviewers from the medical, gay, and intersex communities have mostly praised Middlesex and I cannot adequately do so here, again without giving away too much. Suffice it to say this is a wonderful book worthy of anyone's read.
While outwardly only one, I believe that each of us contains within us aspects of both genders. Often we deny one and cling to the other. For some of us however, because of some variable in nature, we find our identity quite ambiguous if at all even possible to glean a difference.
While there is not always agreement on a definition or on what constitutes intersex, it is estimated that between 0.1% and 0.2% of live births are ambiguous enough to become the subject of specialist medical attention, including surgery to disguise their sexual ambiguity. The subject of surgery to "correct" this condition becomes an important part late in the book. I think that it is one of the most important parts of the book and again, it is treated with the greatest of sensitivity and compassion found elsewhere throughout its content.
The book is especially well-narrated. At no time in the listening did I ever feel that the narrator was anyone else but the person about whom this book was written.
"Great Book & Brilliant Narration"
Wonderful listening. Reading the summary I was somewhat apprehensive that the story might verge on a freak show: not so. Eugenides' characters, descriptions, historical details and revelations create a fascinating epic. Kristoffer Tabori's narration brings it all alive and merges so well with the printed word. He gives all of the characters a freshness and individuality, each with their own distinctive voice, no matter what their gender, accent or age. The best narration I've found so far. I hated for it to end.
I bought this book thinking it would be erotic, but it was not that at all. It was very interesting and I am glad I read it. But exciting, I would not call it, nor would I call it dry. I would best describe it as interesting and worth a read.
"Grating Narrator"
I found the narrator's characterizations so annoying I couldn't finish this book. His female voices were shrill and the ethnic voices sounded like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
I'm a patient reader but the story took too long to get to Cal's own story.

Product Description
The Milwaukee BA-475B two-piece full port ball valve is made of brass and has a lever handle and female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connections on both ends. This valve is made of brass for higher corrosion resistance than steel and has a lever handle made of zinc-plated steel for manual on/off control. The ball valve is full port for reduced friction; its inner diameter is the same as the inner diameter of the pipe it connects to enable maximum operating efficiency. The maximum pressure is 600 pounds per square inch (psi) for use with water, oil, and gas (WOG) and 150 psi for steam working pressure (SWP). The working temperature range is 0 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The valve is inline for connecting two pipes going in the same direction and has NPT threads on both ends for creating tighter seals than straight threads. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seats and seals reduce the risk of valve leakage. This valve is for use with water lines, processing plants, and agricultural applications and meets standards MSS SP-110, ANSI/NSF 61, and ASME A112.4.14 for quality assurance.
Ball valves use a spherical disc to control the flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses. Flow is allowed when the hole that pierces the ball-shaped disc is in line with the inlet and outlet of the valve. Flow is blocked when the ball is horizontally swiveled 90 degrees, so that the hole of the ball is perpendicular to the opening of the valve. Ball valves can be referred to as full port or reduced port (also known as regular or standard port) depending on the inner diameter of the valve. A ball valve is full port if the hole of the ball is the same size as the inner diameter of the connecting pipeline (resulting in lower friction) and is reduced port if the hole of the valve is one pipe size smaller than the pipe, resulting in less flow through the valve than through the shaft of the pipe. Ball valves may have a handle or lever that aligns with the ball's position (open or closed) for manual operation. They are primarily used in air, gas, liquid, and steam applications.
The Milwaukee Valve Company manufactures manual and actuated valves, controls, and control accessories. The company, founded in 1901, and headquartered in New Berlin, WI, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 and 14001:2004 standards.

When I got the valve, the first thing I looked for was where it was made. To my disappointment, it is China. It seems that they try to hide the fact that's it's made in China by the type of script writing they used (see picture). Since this was made in China, I decided to bring it to my office and have the metal analyzed with an XRF analyzer (x-ray fluorescence). This shows what elements are in the metal. Since this is a brass bodied ball valve, there would be copper and zinc. This valve had a little extra of another element - LEAD (Pb). According to their specification sheet, this valve is tested and certified to conform to ANSI 372, which is "lead free" (no more than .25% lead allowed-see pic). According to my analysis, this has almost 3% lead (see analysis picture).
3% may not seem to be a big deal, but it is over 10x what the allowable amount of lead is.
I sent Milwaukee Valve an email asking them about this. I will update this review once I hear back.

firewire for new computer[ Edited ]
12-04-2009 06:03 PM - edited 12-04-2009 06:03 PM
I just purchased a pavilion slimline s5220y pc. I need a way to connect it to my older ipod which is firewire only. I purchased a card to put in the computer, and I am not sure it will fit (but I don't know much about the insides of computers. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you. Ironically, my old slow computer had a firewire port right on the front.

Here is the page for your system.
Here is the page for your motherboard.
The onboad modem takes one of the PCI-X1 slots. It appears a PCI or PCIx1 firewire card would fit. Remove the side panel of the computer with the power off after grounding yourself and insert the card into the available open slot. Be sure it's seated properly and fits snuggly against the port/case as the other card does. Put the system back together and turn it back on, and Windows should install generic firewire drivers automatically.
Re: firewire for new computer
And here is a link to the HP Upgrade Guide for your system.
Re: firewire for new computer
Thank you very much. I am definitely a novice and the pictures and drawings help and hopefully once I look in there it will be more clear.. So if I am reading this correctly, I have one space left that will take PCI and one that will take PCI express. I had already purchased a card called Ultra 7 Port Firewire/USB 2.0 PCI card. Does this sound right ? If so, I will give it a try! I might open up my old computer first and take a look around before I get brave enough to open the new one. Thanks again.
Re: firewire for new computer
New development. Opened up computer and there is a fan and some other stuff blocking the PCI port. Soooo, there are two PCI express 1x ports. One appears empty but it doesn't seem like there is a place on the outside for the plugs to stick out. The other one has a phone jack coming out of it. Can I remove the one with the phone jack safely since we are not using it, or will this screw up other things in the computer? Thank you.
Re: firewire for new computer[ Edited ]
12-07-2009 11:39 AM - edited 12-07-2009 11:43 AM
There seems to be a mix-up between the product specifications and the motherboard documentation for your PC. The motherboard shows that your computer has 1 PCI, 2 PCIe x1 and 1 PCIe x16 ports but the product specifications show your PC with only 1 PCIe x1 and 1 PCIe x16 port. There should be no fan in the way of the PCI port, it would be at the very bottom of your PC case if you actually have one, the fans are mounted in the upper top half of the case. Only the PCI port will work with the card you purchased so you need to take a good look at the motherboard from the link provided above to see if your computer actually has one. From your last reply it sounds like it does not. Look at Figure 1: layout - at the bottom just below the BATT (battery) there is a long rectangular connector labeled PCI 1. That is where you would need to install the card. If that is not your motherboard then you will need to exchange or return the card and get a PCI Express x1 (or PCIe x1) card. Then you can remove the modem card (the one with the phone jack) and replace it with your new Firewire PCI express card. You don't really need all those extra USB ports that your computer already has. Here's one of the cheaper ones at Newegg that would work fine for you, has good reviews and supports your Windows 7 operating system.
Re: firewire for new computer
There is definitely something (maybe not a fan) covering up the PCI port--I looked inside briefly the other day, but I don't want to open it back up until I have to. I will look closer when I install the card. I returned the PCI card and have ordered a PCI express card with a low profile bracket ( I bought one the other day, but only had a regular bracket and they said it wouldn't fit). I guess these slimline computers have to squeeze everything in them? So, I am waiting to get that one from Amazon (I believe it is Syba? brand). Sounds like it is OK to remove the modem with no problems? Thank you.
Re: firewire for new computer
Update: got firewire card with low profile bracket. Installed in space where 56K modem was. Works great, no problems. Hooked my ipod right up. Thank you for your help.

Reimagined Spa Experience at Red Rock Resort Las Vegas
July 22, 2016
By: Five Star Alliance
Located off the Las Vegas strip, with views of the Red Rock Canyons and the strip 10 miles away, the Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa pays homage to the elegant mid-century modern resorts that made Las Vegas famous, but reinvented for the 21st century.
According to our sister publication, Luxury Travel Advisor, The Spa at Red Rock by Well & Being recently underwent a multimillion dollar upgrade that brings with it 25,000 square feet of space, 23 treatment rooms, fitness classes, nutrition guidance, integrative medicine, mind-body therapies and advance skin care. Guests looking to tap into those Hollywood elite treatments will be happy to hear that Well & Being offers Lancer skin care spa services. This specialty menu includes "The Lancer Method's Interlocking Chemistry" technique, which allows the spa products to build and work together for that flawless skin look. This is the only location outside of Dr. Lancer's dermatology office in Beverly Hills where guests can receive the treatments that include an anti-aging experience and the famous Lancer Glow Facial.
(More below)
Want more than one treatment? The top requested Lancer services include the Red Carpet Ready Facial, which gives the skin a healthy glow; The Lancer Method Facial with Oxygen to immediately tighten the skin with molecular oxygen; and the Sparkle and Glow Body Polish Treatment for adjusting body's pH levels to reveal youthful skin. For those looking to increase the cardio in their lives, we suggest trying out Tai Chi or vertical wall yoga and, of course, a spinning class is available. Guests can finish their workout with nutrition counseling, which includes tips like preparing the ideal grocery store checklists.
We think this would be a posh destination for a girls' getaway as the spa aims to create a community around health with its co-ed relaxation lounge and pool deck equipped for outdoor classes. However, just lounging on the pool sofas and sunken seating areas will also lead to the perfect weekend escape. But there is something for couples too - the VIP spa suite with an oversized bathtub and two treatment tables. Guests ages 16 and older are welcomed at the spa, which also receives walk-in clients; but it's better to book in advance.

Projection: Phoenix headed for low amount of cops
PHOENIX – As the Great Recession gripped our state and country, Phoenix had 3,375 sworn police officers.
In 2014, the city has 2,878 officers and, by July 2015, the city projects a low of 2,765 officers, 113 fewer than 2014 and 610 fewer than in 2008.
In 2010, the city's public safety budget was $47 million short. Increased pension costs for police and fire departments, negotiated raises in contracts and a drop in sales tax revenue contributed to the shortfall. Rather than layoff police and firefighters, city leaders instituted a hiring freeze and relied heavily on attrition, mostly people retiring.
According to a city council report, since 2000, staffing levels have increased approximately 9.4 percent for police and 24.8 percent for fire. During that same time, calls for police service have dropped by about 29 percent while fire calls have increased about 33 percent.
Phoenix expects to begin hiring new officers and firefighters in 2015. Slightly more than 100 new fire and police positions have been added in the last few years, thanks to federal grants.
The report, which will be reviewed by city council members this week, also found:
• Police have maintained a priority one response time of approximately five and a half minutes.
• The fire department's response times have improved by approximately 10 seconds.
• Phoenix has 1.98 sworn officers per 1,000 residents.
• Phoenix has 1.08 sworn fire employees per 1,000 residents.

I find you huge super smooth plump fat titties quite erotic indeed. I do hope though, that you're one who takes enough interest in others to read Xtube profiles & Xtube PMs sent from other members, because I find that many don't. Besides, I'd enjoy seeing one or more pics and/or vids of which you're doing some of hte things described in my profile.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Heavy capital investments in power generation, transmission, and distribution (T&D) infrastructure to meet the increasing power demand across Southeast Asia are sustaining the Asia-Pacific switchgear market. While the market in Southeast Asia grew significantly in 2013, mature markets such as East Asia, Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) showed a decline for the second consecutive year. The overall market, however, is likely to show positive growth in the coming years.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Asia-Pacific Switchgear Market - 2013 Update, finds that the market earned revenues of US$5.97 billion in 2013 and estimates this to reach US$6.77 billion in 2018. The research covers low voltage, medium voltage, and high voltage switchgears.
"Rapid development of industrial and commercial infrastructure across several industries will boost the sale volumes of switchgears in Southeast Asia," said Frost & Sullivan Energy & Environmental Research Analyst Harsh Thacker. "In East Asia and ANZ, industry development programs and the need to replace aging power networks will be the predominant market drivers."
However, many power T&D utilities in mature markets like Australia and Japan are unable to replace old switchgears as they are cash deprived due to slow economic growth and expenditure on costly oil-generated power. The sluggish growth in these markets will eventually lead to large firms partnering with each other or taking over small participants.
The Asia-Pacific switchgear market also faces intense price competition, which is reducing the overall profitability of manufacturers in this space. Competition is set to further increase with Chinese and Indian original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) entering Southeast Asia and gaining market share on the basis of lower pricing.
"To navigate the competitive landscape, switchgear OEMs should continue the practice of internationalizing the lower end of the value chain of their businesses to cheaper locations in Asia and aggressively sell in Southeast Asia to diversify market risks," suggested Thacker. "In addition, it will be important to improve after-sales services and further cut down production costs by adopting innovative methods."
If you are interested in more information on this study, please send an email to Donna Jeremiah, Corporate Communications, at [email protected], with your full name, company name, job title, telephone number, company email address, company website, city, state and country.

Product Overview
Max is a cool cat who dresses sharply and plays piano. But one day while he's writing a tune, he loses a note. He rides his scooter downtown to see if anyone's seen his note. First stop is Kitty's Place for a glass of milk and some catnip, where he meets singing group The Funky Felines. They haven't seen Max's lost note, but they sing him a song, and tell him to try Long Tall Dexter. Dexter plays Max a tune on his saxophone, but the note isn't there, either. Max tries asking his neighbor Rita, who plays the flute, and she directs him to cool cat Sam, who has a different hat for every day of the week and plays the double bass. All of Max's friends play him lots of mellow music, but there's no sign of the lost note. It's only when Max gets back home and kicks off his shoes that the lost note turns up ? in a most surprising place! This funny and funky picture book, with its cast of musical cats, is a fantastic introduction to the different instruments of a jazz band as well as being a hide-and-seek picture book. There's a mouse to find on every page, too!

He is "an outstanding trial lawyer as well as an outstanding counselor when it comes to antitrust generally, but particularly from a litigation perspective."
Chambers USA 2015
Joseph Ostoyich is Chair of the firm's Litigation Department in Washington, D.C. He has more than two decades of experience representing some of the world's leading companies in bet-the-company price fixing, monopolization and the full gamut of antitrust litigation in U.S. courts and in investigations in industries ranging from high-technology to paper, chemicals, foundry, energy, transportation and agricultural commodities.
Mr. Ostoyich recently received a defense verdict as lead trial counsel in an eight week bench trial against the Federal Trade Commission on charges that his client conspired to fix prices directly and through an industry association. The Commission's decision to dismiss six of its own counts marked the first time in two decades that the Commission ruled against its own claims. This case earned Mr. Ostoyich and the trial team recognition as "Legal Lions" in Law360's Weekly Verdict: Legal Lions & Lambs (February 14, 2014) and the award for Behavioral Matter of the Year- Americas by the Global Competition Review (April 14, 2015).
Additional recent litigation verdicts include obtaining a zero dollar judgment on behalf of a client facing a multibillion dollar monopolization suit brought by its main rival, a summary judgment in a price fixing case charging his client with participating in a decade-long conspiracy to fix natural gas prices, and the dismissal and denial of class certification in a long-running set of direct and indirect purchaser monopolization and conspiracy class actions. In all three cases, his cross examination of the opposing experts led the courts to exclude or disregard their testimony. Mr. Ostoyich also received dismissals on the pleadings in several other antitrust cases.
Mr. Ostoyich also represents parties in merger reviews by the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, the European Commission and government authorities around the world. He most recently represented MeadWestvaco Corporation in a worldwide clearance for its $16 billion merger with RockTenn Corporation.
In 2015, he is recognized as a leading antitrust lawyer in Chambers USA and Legal 500, rated "Preeminent" by Martindale-Hubbell, and named a D.C. Super Lawyer for Antitrust. The Legal 500, stated that Mr. Ostoyich "provides clients with a considerable pedigree in relation to a range of federal and state private antitrust litigation."
He is a member of the Antitrust Council of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and frequently speaks at industry conferences and client retreats about antitrust law developments. He has written and edited several dozen articles and analyses of the antitrust laws and co-authored a chapter on the law and economics of antitrust damages in a leading treatise.

Top queries
- What is my email address?
When you join UCL and activate your new email account you will receive an email from Postmaster notifying you of your email address.
You will receive this email on your start date.
- What is the difference between my live login ID and my email address?
email@example.com is called your Windows Live ID and should be used to log in to your live@UCL account via Outlook Web App. It is just an ID.
firstname.lastname@example.com on the other hand is your actual email address and this is the address that you should distribute to people you know.
Although the Windows Live ID (firstname.lastname@example.com) works, and you will not have lost email if people have sent messages to you via your ID, you should now get in the habit of distributing your actual email address instead.
If you were to experience any issues with your account, it would be easier for UCL support staff to investigate and provide assistance if the messages were coming via your actual email address: firstname.lastname@example.com.
- How do I change my email address to include my preferred forename?
If you wish to have an email address with a different name you will need to email Postmaster to request this who will be able to set this up for you (provided there are no clashes with existing email addresses).
If you are a student, the ".14" (or ".13" or".12" depending on when you started) will remain in your email address.

CLEVELAND -- Larry Hughes of the Cleveland Cavaliers will likely miss Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals after suffering a torn plantar fascia in his left foot during Game 3.

Hughes said the likelihood of him playing in Game 4 was "slim."
"I'm not ruling it out. We'll just have to see. If I can go out and help the team, I'll help the team. If not, I'll support them from the sidelines," Hughes said.
Hughes, who had been battling plantar fasciitis for more than a month, tore the heel muscle when he planted his foot to go up for a reverse layup in the first half of Cleveland's 88-82 victory that cut Detroit's lead to 2-1 in the best-of-7 series. He was replaced in the second half by rookie Daniel Gibson, although it was not yet known whether Gibson would replace Hughes as the starting point guard Tuesday night, or whether coach Mike Brown would turn to veteran Eric Snow if Hughes is unable to play.
"Kind of a freak play, I guess. There wasn't any contact or anything like that, I just probably had it planted and turned the wrong way," Hughes said. "It was hot, and I've never torn a muscle or anything like that before. So I knew when I did it that it wasn't a normal tweak or anything like that. It was something pretty serious."
An MRI exam revealed the tear, which Hughes said should be able to heal without surgery. But the healing time for such injuries is typically several weeks, so it's possible that Hughes will not return during the postseason.
"It's very painful. It's real sore today," said Hughes, who was walking with a pronounced limp in the locker room Monday. "If the game was today, I couldn't play today. I'll see tomorrow how it feels."
LeBron James, who had 32 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in Game
3, trusts Gibson and is confident he can fill in adequately for
"Hopefully Larry is healthy enough to play, but if he's not,
one thing is that we've played without him," James said. "We
don't like to, but we have done it, so it's something that's not
new to us."
Gibson made two 3-pointers, blocked a
shot and didn't commit a turnover in 29 minutes.
"We've thrown him on the floor in tight ballgames during the
playoffs, and he's responded very well," Brown said. "The biggest
thing is keeping his composure. But he's tough, he's quick, he'll
stick his nose in, everybody knows he can shoot if you leave him
open -- it's good."

WEDDING AND EVENT PLANNINGNow that you are engaged to be married...
Just why would you want to hire a planner when you, your fiance, and your family are perfectly capable? To save time, money and stress. Since I have spent hundreds of hours researching vendors, venues, florists, caterers, photographers, etc., I know which ones to trust, and who can deliver a wonderful product.
Another great reason to hire a planner is for the design skills. Creating a beautiful wedding goes hand in hand with hiring someone who has imaginative and creative abilities. I have a vast amount of experience with event design and am known for my WOW! factor events.
Dean Graziosi can negotiate contracts and is often able to get you better deals that aren't available to those who aren't in the industry. See why people consider Dean a real estate investing guru at this site; Dean Graziosi Wikipedia. Most people are very surprised when they find out that planning a wedding takes much more time than they had anticipated. A typical wedding takes well over two hundred and fifty hours to plan. There are so many details involved that the planning process can become a chore, rather than a joy. I take that burden from you, and turn your wedding planning into an exciting event in itself.
My expertise can save you not only time and money, but relieve much of your stress. My knowledge, training, and experience can help you to enjoy the experience as it should be...the best day of your life!
Rehearsal (practice) makes perfect!
Some caterers, venues, church cosultants, etc. say they offer their services for free to plan your wedding. Many are salespeople dedicated to their product or venue and will limit you in your choices. They do not coordinate your entire wedding. If they recommend vendors, it's usually someone who has worked with their company, maybe even just once, and they haven't done the proper reference checking regarding those vendors. How are they getting paid if they offer their services for free? Kickbacks in the industry do happen. A true wedding planner has no hidden agenda, and will pass on any savings to you. A wedding planner can pull from many multiple sources, and has no obligations to any one vendor, thus giving you a wide range of options for your perfect day.
A good wedding planner is the person in your corner…there for you and only you. Making your priorities her priorities, and being with you at every level you choose for her to be at. The choice is always yours, that is why you should listen to PSI Seminars Podcasts.

Top Customer Reviews
The Tablets of Fate have been stolen! Ao has cast the gods of Toril to the earth untill they have been returned. The gods are forced to take on Avatars (Mortal Form).
Magic is now unstable since the gods have begun to walk the realms. Cleric can only cast their spells if they are withing 1-mile of their diety's. The arcane weave is wild. Sometimes spells work, and sometimes they go haywire producing effects unimaginable and usually horrible.
Bane & Mykrul: The god of strife and the god of the dead team up with the intention of returning to their kingdoms and destroying Ao.
Mystra: Searches for a shard of power she had hidden with a mortal being before being cast from the heavens by Ao.
Four mortals are drawn into the conflict. Kelemvor, a warrior with a dark and deadly curse. Midnight, a mage with a strange pendant grafted to her neck. Adon, a cleric of Sune. And Cyric the rogue.
What will happen? Who will live? Pick up the novel and find out yourself.
The Time of Troubles has begun!
The concept for the novel is intriguing, particularly if you have some basic knowledge of its place in the mythology of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. The four main characters (Kelemvor, Midnight, Adon and Cyric) find themselves in a world turned upside down by the expulsion of the gods from the heavens. The gods have taken avatars (i.e. human hosts) and are attempting to reassert themselves; only adding to the chaos in the Realms.
Unfortunately, the potential of that tale was not met. With the notable exceptions of Kelemvor and Cyric, I felt that the characters were one-dimensional and wholly uninteresting. The story itself was thin, with leaps in logic that I found implausible. To put it quite simply, it was fluff.
I was entertained enough to attempt the second book in the trilogy (Tantras). However, I only made it a few chapters before I gave up because it was simply too much of a stretch. I suppose, to wrap up, I agree with those that have said it is the best DnD module they have ever read. The books did feel like Mr. Awlinson played in a game with that plotline and then attempted to turn it into a novel.
I would only recommend the book if you are looking for an easy read to kill some time.
This is a very juvenile style of writing. Great images with no real substance. Anyone who has had exposure to the likes of Brooks, Jordan, Hickman & Weiss should stick to them. Ironic, because the latter mentioned wrote the amazing and highly recommended "Dragonlance" series also produced by TSR. It really too bad, because I was hoping for something along that level. But it's enough to give Salvatore's take on this world a shot.

Comments about Weber Genesis EP-310 Premium Propane Gas Grill (6517301):
Don't confuse this EP-310 with the E-310 offered at big box stores because there key differences. For $50 more I got a color we liked, a high quality stainless steel cooking grate and stainless steel flavorizer bars (they cover the burners and burn off the drippings). Those items alone would cost over $100 if purchased separately. High quality fit and finish throughout. I assembled the grill myself with no help and it took about 2.5 hours: it was quite heavy removing it from my SUV (~170 lbs) so you may need assistance. Study the pictogram assembly instructions for each step before moving to the next step--on one occasion I installed a front strut upside down and on another I missed installing the little bumpers that keep the propane tank from marring the inside. I used my own ratchet set for most of the assembly plus a Phillips head screwdriver, but one place where the included assembly wrench helps is adjusting the two pins on the door bottom so they fit flush. Be sure to study the picture for how the propane hose is to be wrapped around the propane tank so that the door closes properly. Make sure you install the hose clip properly too.
Everything about this grill feels so much more substantial than the previous big box store rust-bombs I have owned over the years. I lit the grill after assembly and brought it up to about 700 degrees in 20 minutes or so and it burned off whatever residual oils and such. Also, make sure to read the lighting instructions--you have to do things in a certain sequence or you will activate a safety feature limiting the gas flow, which you do not want to do. Also, each of the three burners requires to be lit with the igniter switch, unlike previous grills I have owned which do it all at once.

"No one would have remembered the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well" — Television interview, 1980.
Samuel Gregg recently spoke with Marie Stroughter from African-American Conservatives. They discuss Gregg's new book, Becoming Europe: Economic Decline, Culture, and How America Can Avoid a European Future.
Stroughter asked Gregg about the dichotomy between "cuddle capitalism" (the European social model) and a dynamic market economy. Gregg says that Americans are more and more choosing a 'Europeanized' economy favoring security over economic liberty.
Listen to the full audio here:

New rental markets are popping up all over the place, as detailed by a recent Wall Street Journal article. The trend is beginning to drive a larger movement labeled by some as "collaborative consumption," wherein "sharing" is pushed as a way of "reinventing old market behaviors."
Over at Carpe Diem, Mark J. Perry provides a helpful round-up on the phenomenon, pointing to the already mentioned WSJ article, a new Collaborative Consumption Hub web site, and a host of relevant products and services:
[W]e're increasingly becoming more of a "rental economy," where people can now rent just about anything they need from somebody else: their bathroom, their couch for an overnight stay, designer neckties (and bow ties and cufflinks), their driveway, their private automobiles, their toys, their clothing/costumes/maternity clothing/accessories/jewelry, party/event equipment, fine art, household items and tools (vacuum cleaners, iPads, tents, printers) etc. and the list goes on and on…
Perry also references a review on a leading book on the subject, What's Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption. In the review, Reason Magazine's Greg Beato helps illuminate some on the broader social and economic implications of such a shift:
Just a few years ago, President George W. Bush was still touting "the ownership society" as the surest path to prosperity and personal autonomy. But that was before we could easily search our cellphones for the nearest power drills, sedans, and spacious Manhattan closets for rent. What we really want, sharing evangelists suggest, is access, not ownership. And when we can use the mobile Web to pinpoint sharable goods, the burdens of ownership—which include maintenance, storage, and eventual disposal—begin to outweigh the benefits in many cases…. (more…)
I recently asked the question at Ethika Politika, "Which Capitalism?" (also the title of my article), and I followed it up with a related question here regarding the relationship between distributism and capitalism (is the former a form of the latter?). In addition, Jordan Ballor reflected last week on the different orientation of definitions of capitalism and socialism, observing, "One definition [i.e. capitalism] is focused on structure, the other [i.e. socialism] is connected with moral ideals."
On a related note, I found this post from Matt Mitchell at Neighborhood Effects to be quite to the point as well:
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt defended the company's practices [of taking certain tax exemptions], saying:
We pay lots of taxes; we pay them in the legally prescribed ways…. I am very proud of the structure that we set up. We did it based on the incentives that the governments offered us to operate.
So far so good. He didn't make the rules that privilege his firm, but he will avail himself of these privileges when offered. I can sympathize. I oppose the mortgage interest deduction but still take it every April. Schmidt's next statement, however, is about as far from the mark as one can get:
It's called capitalism…. We are proudly capitalistic. I'm not confused about this.
A quick lesson for Mr. Schmidt: genuine capitalism is about competing on a level playing field for customer dollars. If you offer a superior product or service, customers will reward you by voluntarily parting with their money in exchange for what you offer. (more…)
I recently talked to one of Italy's leading classical liberal scholars, Prof. Nicola Iannello, regarding the outcome of this week's U.S. presidential elections.
Prof. Iannello, a devotee of classical liberalism and Alexis de Tocqueville, is an Italian journalist, international lecturer with Istituto Bruno Leoni, and chair of the Einaudi Foundation's Austrian School of Economics course for Roman university students. Prof. Iannello has published several widely read academic articles on Friedrich Hayek, Murray Rothbard, Ludwig von Mises, and Frédéric Bastiat, among other pro-liberty European intellectuals.
On National Review Online, Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg offers an analysis of last night's debate between President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney. Gregg begins with the assertion by Melinda Henneberger of the Washington Post that the candidates are ignoring poor and working-class Americans. Gregg responds:
… what's generally missing from the discussion of poverty in the context of this presidential election — though Romney did obliquely reference it in the second debate — is acknowledgment that: (1) the economic causes of impoverishment are more subtle and less amenable to wealth redistribution than the Left is willing to concede; and (2), with a few exceptions, liberals are generally reluctant to acknowledge some of poverty's non-economic causes, not least because it throws into relief some of the more destructive effects of their cultural agenda.
If poverty was simply a question of wealth redistribution, the sheer amount of dollars spent since the not-so-Great Society programs of the 1960s should have resolved the problem. In 2011, Peter Ferrara calculated that "total welfare spending [in 2008] . . . amounted to $16,800 per person in poverty, 4 times as much as the Census Bureau estimated was necessary to bring all of the poor up to the poverty level, eliminating all poverty in America. That would be $50,400 per poor family of three."
The effects in terms of reducing poverty have, however, been underwhelming. As Ferrara observes: "Poverty fell sharply after the Depression, before the War on Poverty, declining from 32% in 1950 to 22.4% in 1959 to 12.1% in 1969, soon after the War on Poverty programs became effective. Progress against poverty as measured by the poverty rate then abruptly stopped."
