Ready in 2 hours
This is the best gumbo I've had. It's packed full of flavor and delicious ingredients, (with shrimp, crab, andoullie and oysters, what's not good?) but the key to this baby is the roux. NEVER stop stirring, don't use a timer, keep going until it's dark as good chocolate and repeat after me, "Roux is easy to make". As a matter of fact, it won't kill you to burn one just see what it looks like!!

Chop all of your vegetables before hand, then setting aside.
Make stock by boiling 1 1/2 quarts of water with the shrimp shells, heads, deveined meat and bouillon cubes. Reduce until you have 1 quart of stock. About 30 minutes.
In a large heavy stock pot, heat oil over moderately high heat. Reduce heat to medium and whisk in flour. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until it's dark brown with an intensely nutty aroma. This can take a while. If you see black specks it is burned and you have to start again.
Next, stir in onions, green pepper, celery and fresh cayenne. This will stop the roux from cooking and will caramelize the vegetables. Cook about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in the seafood stock, raise heat to medium high until slightly boiling, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered, until mixture thickens, about 20 minutes.
Add bay leaves, sausage and okra and cook until okra is tender, about 15-20 more minutes. Discard bay leaves.
Add shrimp, crab and oysters and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes being careful not to over cook. Add salt (to taste) and black pepper and 1-2 drops of the Mad Dog (or your favorite super-hot sauce). Remove from heat. Add chopped parsley. Let rest for 5 minutes then serve with or without the rice.

andreweulass 3y agoReally excellent recipe. I used a 5-qt cast iron Dutch oven instead of the stock pot and the outcome was excellent. I might swap in clams for the oysters next time, but I still liked it fine with oysters. Perfect food on a chilly Fall day.

The majority of these ladies have tit jobs, so the "bouncy" in the title is somewhat of a misnomer. On the other hand, the sets and camerawork are lush and stylish, and the sex is smoking. There's not enough tit-specific footage to satisfy any true fetishist (in fact, the cameraman seems a tad more obsessed with ass), but otherwise, each scene is strong. The girls are all hardbodies.

"Kloster Vessra" Kloster Veßra by weed6886
Kloster Veßra Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 4 photos
Kloster Vessra was a monastery that was consecrated in 1138. In 1939 a fire destroyed the main area of the cathedral, and the monastery was abandoned. Now the monastery grounds are home to an open-air museum documenting life in Thueringen from the middle ages until today.
The centerpiece of the museum are definately the remains of the the church. Originally built in 1201, a fire in 1939 destroyed the interior and the roof. The west tower and the east wall are all that remained standing. The ruins are open, and safe to walk through. According to signs, there are plans to re-roof the cathedral.
Around the rest of the museum are several buildings including farmers houses, bakeries, and even a brewery. These were taken from villages in the area and rebuilt exactly the same on the museum grounds. Most of the houses are open, giving a good impression of daily living conditions in the area. It's easy to spend several hours wandering through the various displays here. There's even a cafe on the grounds, in case you need a break.
- Pros:Interesting dispalys of local culture
- Cons:There are plans to re-roof the cathedral!
- In a nutshell:A must-see for anyone interested in local life!!

I'd like to make a simple HTML page that looks similar to my blog. I'm useless with HTML and PHP so what I'd like to know is if there's a simple tool I can use to do this or do I have to go through the problem of finding someone to do it for me or having to learn to do it myself?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Easter Bonnet
My daughter saw a cake in a magazine and wanted to make it, this was how our Easter bonnet turned out. We cheated on the brim, by using the base as a faux-brim. The ears probably should have been done with gumpaste but we used fondant. It was just for fun for us to eat and it did the job. :)

The promo code you entered has exceeded the maximum allowed usage.
The code for the 25 papa points is good until the 15th of July and the free pizza needs to be ordered by July 25. Just an FYI as I got an email about that promotion. It may be a one time use code as I don't have the original email I ordered mine from.

Hi guys,
I'm going to buy a Theme for my WP page, but its kind of expensive (www.crowdfundingsite.net)
What my question is, when MU features were rolled into core and released with WordPress 3.0, is there any reason for me to buy the most expensive package which supports "WordPress Multi-User".
It's already built into the 3.5 version of WP, but could the coding in the theme block me from using it cause I didn't buy the largest pack.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Many thanks in advanced,

A Quote by Price Pritchett, Ph.D. on behavior, belief, business, company, competition, ethics, purity, questions, travel, truth, and world
The question is, when so many others cut corners, shave the truth, self-deal, believe in the fast buck, and follow the crowd along the low road of least resistance, can we even afford to travel the high road of ethical behavior? Frankly, we can't afford anything else. Any other competitive angle is a pure crapshoot in today's business world. Companies with shaky ethics and shabby standards will be crippled as they try to compete in our changing world.

BRASILIA Moody's Investor Service says it will become more difficult to justify its "positive" outlook on Brazil's investment-grade credit rating if the country remains in the grip of weak economic growth and its debt burden fails to decline, a senior official from the ratings agency said.
Moody's is paying close attention to trends in the country's debt-to-gross domestic product ratio and potential growth dynamics now that the economy risks posting a third straight year of sub-par growth, senior credit officer Mauro Leos said in a telephone interview on Monday.
"The focus is on growth and fiscal policy," Leos said. "If there are indications that the debt-to-GDP ratio may not continue to decline as it has been the case, based on recent numbers, then it will be more difficult to support the contention that the outlook is positive."
An outlook revision could undermine investors confidence in Brazil at a time when doubts over the sustainability of President Dilma Rousseff's economic policies are mounting. Fellow rating company Standard and Poor's on June 6 revised its outlook on Brazil's "BBB" rating to negative, citing the country's eroding fiscal and growth trends.
Rousseff has launched an offensive to regain investor confidence and says her administration is fiscally responsible.
Policymakers are gradually modifying some aspects of economic policy after implementing some mechanisms to manipulate the exchange rate, ramping up spending and allowing inflation to accelerate in order to boost growth over the past two years.
Leos declined to say if a decision to change the outlook on Brazil's rating -- which he said could come in the second half of this year -- could drive the outlook itself to either "stable" or "negative."
"Will the economy move toward to a lower growth environment ... or will Brazil be able to go back to growth rate closer to 4 percent?," Leos said in an interview from New York. "That is a new element and one that we are struggling with and looking at to determine what do with the outlook."
After expanding an average 3.6 percent over the past decade, growth in Brazil's economy slowed to 1.8 percent since 2011 in the wake of supply bottlenecks and low levels of investment. The economy grew only 0.9 percent last year.
Central bank data show net public sector debt to GDP ratio has fallen steadily in the past decade to around 35 percent.
But Leos took into account another yard stick -- gross debt to GDP. He noted Brazil's gross debt to GDP ratio has remained at around 60 percent in the past two years-- above the level of countries rated the same level.
The three main ratings agencies rate Brazil all at the second-lowest investment grade rating -- for Moody's that is "Baa2" and the equivalent ratings for both Standard and Poor's and Fitch is "BBB."."
Moody's is the only of the three major rating agencies to have a positive outlook for Brazil. Fitch Ratings, which has a stable outlook, is expected to end its review of Brazil's credit rating by July, a spokeswoman for the rating agency said.
A rating downgrade by any of the world's major rating agencies - Moody's, S&P and Fitch Ratings - could further upset investors already disappointed with an economy full of imbalances, growing government meddling in key sectors and rising political tension. Brazil earned investment-grade ratings for the first time in 2008.
A battery of stimulus measures implemented by Rousseff has done little to add momentum to a slow recovery with private economists estimating growth of 2.5 percent this year.
Her government's hiking of public spending and offer of billions of dollars in tax breaks to businesses has eroded fiscal savings that many investors consider one of the main pillars of Brazil's new-found economic stability.
Those laxer fiscal policies and lackluster growth will likely push ratings agencies to downgrade Brazil rating by one notch in early 2014, economists at Barclays wrote in a research note on Monday.
"While the government tries to be more flexible (with its macroeconomic policies) it has, at the same time, suffered with a loss in credibility," Leos added. "The government will have to outperform for credibility to be restored."

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Victoria's Secret Jeans
Last month Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was photographed during a photo shoot for Victoria's Secret in Malibu, California.
Rosie wore a full Victoria's Secret look, including a pair of their skinny jeans, a boho shirt and some long tan boots. I think she looks beautiful here and this is a really western style, perfect for the shoot. I love her off duty style a whole lot more though!

Behati Prinsloo in Victoria's Secret Skinny Leggings in White
Victoria's Secret Supermodel Behati Prinsloo posed for photos while introducing and launching the brands new The T-Shirt Bra.
Behati wore a pair of Victoria's Secret Mid Rise Skinny Legging Jeans in white with a simple tee for the event. I think she looks amazing in these jeans and would also probably look perfect in a trash bag! Buy these jeans online at Victoria's Secret.

Hey guys, just a lil backround info, 6 months ago I tore both my hamstrings playing football, when I was heAlthy I squatted 365 and today I did 365, is this good for the amount I've had for recovery...
Okay guys here's the problem 8 weeks ago I fuked my wrist benching and I can't curl or do anything with weight to isolate biceps it's been 8 weeks I can't curl or do push-ups and if I turn my wrist...
12 I'd say
So I can do body weight squats and lunges now that it's been 7 weeks and I did 40 lunges to the torn leg side and 20 body weight squats is this fine rehab? Should I be sore somewhat? Thanks

After the Birthday Party called it quits in 1983, singer/songwriter Nick Cave assembled the Bad Seeds, a post-punk supergroup featuring former Birthday Party guitarist Mick Harvey on drums, ex-Magazine bassist Barry Adamson, and Einsturzende Neubauten's guitarist Blixa Bargeld. With the Bad Seeds, Cave continued to explore his obsessions with religion, death, love, America, and violence with a bizarre hybrid of blues, gospel, rock, and arty post-punk -- although in a more subdued fashion than his work with the Birthday Party. On his albums with the Bad Seeds, his literary aspirations come to the forefront; the lyrics are narrative prose, heavy on literary allusions and myth-making. Often, Cave's gloomy lyrics, dark musical arrangements, and deep baritone voice recall the albums of Scott Walker, who also obsessed over death and love with a frightening passion. However, Cave brings a hefty amount of post-punk experimentalism to Walker's epic dark pop. By melding the grandeur of Walker to the spareness of the blues, as well as adding the self-conscious eclectism of post-punk and his own literate lyrics, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds have emerged as one of the most distinctive and respected artists in alternative rock. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Over the weekend, two young people in our community committed suicide. These young women went the same high school, and played on the same soccer team. I can't imagine the grief that student body is bearing right now, not to mention the families of the two girls. In the wake of this tragedy, I've been impressed by expressions of sympathy and compassion from the entire community. I'm also impressed with the school's response, encouraging parents to have real and honest conversations with their kid … [Read more...]

Good Morning: Thoughts on Robin Williams, and Hearing Whole Stories
When I was little, my dad bought the soundtrack (cassette tape, of course) to Good Morning, Vietnam. For a time, we listened to it in the car. All the time. I knew every word to every song. And I also knew the dialogue. Dad probably thought I was too young to 'get' some of the more crass humor (he was right); and that I was too little to catch the bad language (wrong!). Thing is, even though I didn't really understand WHY "Follow the Ho Chi Mihn Trail" was funny--or what was so dissonantly hilar … [Read more...]

Mistletoe extract (ME) is applied as an adjuvant treatment in cancer therapy in thousands of patients each year in Europe. The main immunostimulating component of mistletoe extract, mistletoe lectin, recently has been shown to be a pattern recognition receptor ligand and hence is binding to an important class of pathogen-sensing receptors. Pattern recognition receptor ligands are potent activators of dendritic cells. This activation is a prerequisite for a full-blown T-cell response against cancer cells. Pattern recognition receptor ligands are increasingly recognized as important players in cancer immunotherapy. We collect evidence from case studies on spontaneous regression, from epidemiology, from experiments in a mouse cancer model, and from protein structure comparisons to argue that a combination of mistletoe therapy with other pattern recognition receptor ligand substances leads to an increased immune stimulatory effect. We show that mistletoe lectin is a plant protein of bacterial origin with a 3D structure very similar to shiga toxin from Shigella dysenteriae, which explains the remarkable immunogenicity of mistletoe lectin. Secondly, we show that a combination of pattern recognition receptor ligands applied metronomically in a cancer mouse model leads to complete remission, while single pattern recognition receptor ligands slowed tumor growth. Taken together, we propose to combine mistletoe drugs with other pattern recognition receptor ligand drugs to increase its efficacy in adjuvant or even primary cancer therapy.

White Lies
A powerful, prize-winning novella from the much-loved author of The Whale Rider, plus a moving screenplay, film stills and commentary on writing and movie making.
A powerful, prize-winning novella from the much-loved author of The Whale Rider, plus a moving screenplay, film stills and commentary on writing and movie making.
A medicine woman — a giver of life — is asked to hide a secret that may protect a position in society, but could have fatal consequences. When she is approached by the servant of a wealthy woman, three very different women become players in a head-on clash of beliefs, deception and ultimate salvation.
This compelling story tackles moral dilemmas, exploring the nature of identity, societal attitudes to the roles of women and the tension between Western and traditional Maori medicine. This book, though, is also about the richness of creativity, illustrating the way a single story can take on different lives. The original novella, Medicine Woman, has been rewritten and expanded by Witi Ihimaera to become White Lies. It has also evolved into a screenplay by internationally acclaimed director and screenwriter Dana Rotberg, which has been made into a superb film by South Pacific Pictures. Thus this book offers an intriguing insight into the process of adapting work, as well as offering new versions of this potent story.

About the authorMore
Witi Ihimaera
Witi Ihimaera was the first Maori to publish both a book of short stories and a novel, and since then has published many notable novels and collections of short stories. Described by Metro magazine as 'Part oracle, part memoralist,' and 'an inspired voice, weaving many stories together', Ihimaera has also written for stage and screen, edited books on the arts and culture, as well as published various works for children.
His best-known novel is The Whale Rider, which was made into a hugely, internationally successful film in 2002. His novel Nights in the Garden of Spain was also made into a feature film, and was distributed internationally under the name of Kawa. The feature film White Lies was based on his novella Medicine Woman. And his novel Bulibasha, King of the Gypsies inspired the 2016 feature film Mahana. His first book, Pounamu, Pounamu, has not been out of print in the 40 years since publication.
He has also had careers in diplomacy, teaching, theatre, opera, film and television. In 1993 Ihimaera spent a year in France on the Katherine Mansfield Fellowship. He has received numerous awards, including the Wattie Book of the Year Award and the Montana Book Award, the inaugural Star of Oceania Award, University of Hawaii 2009, a laureate award from the New Zealand Arts Foundation 2009, the Toi Maori Maui Tiketike Award 2011, and the Premio Ostana International Award, presented to him in Italy 2010. In 2004 he became a Distinguished Companion of the Order of New Zealand (the equivalent of a knighthood).
Witi Ihimaera has said that he considers 'the world I'm in as being Maori, not European' and that he writes from this perspective. While much of his fiction is based on fact, it is not strictly autobiographical but is an imaginative recreation of places, people and circumstances. For a period of about 10 years, though, he stopped publishing, feeling that his attempts to capture the emotional landscape of Maori were being perceived as the 'definitive portrayal' of Maoridom. This was from the mid-1970s when there was a resurgence of Maori activism.
Receiving the premiere Maori arts award Te Tohutiketike a Te Waka Toi, Ihimaera said, 'To be given Maoridom's highest cultural award, well, it's recognition of the iwi. Without them, I would have nothing to write about and there would be no Ihimaera. So this award is for all those ancestors who have made us all the people we are. It is also for the generations to come, to show them that even when you aren't looking, destiny has a job for you to do.'
Ihimaera is a respected commentator on Maori, Pacific and indigenous peoples' affairs, and has been instrumental in ensuring Maori art and literature is supported.
The Parihaka Woman, 'a fun dash through 19th-century New Zealand, speckled with adventure' (Bay of Plenty Times), was the third bestselling New Zealand fiction work in 2010. Recognised for its 'moments of tender beauty' (The New Zealand Herald) and for being 'richly imaginative and original . . . surprising, inventive and deeply moving' it 'confirms Witi Ihimaera as one of New Zealand's finest and most memorable storytellers' (Tararua District Library).
With The Thrill of Falling, Ihimaera has taken a new route with his writing, 'full of experimentation and literary derring-do' (John McCrystal, Weekend Herald). The Saturday Express noted that he writes with 'a great combination of the punchiness of a short story, along with more development of character and plot . . . creating characters that seem to come alive off the pages', the Otago Daily Times reviewer noting that he weaves references to Maori mythology and New Zealand into his stories in 'an easy, playful and relaxed style, while pulling off twists and brilliant touches'.

Identifying Forest Design Requirements
Updated: March 28, 2003
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
In order to create a forest design for your organization, you must identify the business requirements that your directory structure needs to accommodate. This involves determining how much autonomy the groups in your organization need to manage their network resources, and whether each group needs to isolate their resources on the network from other groups.
Active Directory enables you to design a directory infrastructure that accommodates multiple groups within an organization that have unique management requirements, and to achieve structural and operational independence between groups as needed.
Groups in your organization might have some of the following types of requirements:
Organizational structure requirements. Parts of an organization might participate in a shared infrastructure to save costs, but require the ability to operate independently from the rest of the organization. For example, a research group within a large organization might need to maintain control over all of their own research data.
Operational requirements. One part of an organization might place unique constraints on the directory service configuration, availability, or security, or use applications that place unique constraints on the directory. Examples are found in:
Military organizations.
Hosting scenarios.
Organizations that maintain a directory that is available both internally and externally (publicly accessible by users on the Internet).
- Military organizations.
Legal requirements. Some organizations have legal requirements to operate in a specific way, such as by restricting access to certain information as specified in a business contract. Failure to meet these requirements can result in loss of the contract and possibly legal action. These requirements commonly apply to the following types of organizations:
Financial institutions that need to maintain private client financial records.
Defense contractors that are working on classified military projects.
Government organizations that maintain top secret data.
- Financial institutions that need to maintain private client financial records.
Part of identifying your forest design requirements involves identifying the degree to which groups in your organization can trust the potential forest owners and their service administrators, and identifying the autonomy and isolation requirements for each group in your organization.

For much of the western USA, precipitation occurs in pulses, the nature of which determine soil water potential and plant physiological performance. This research utilized three experiments to examine the sensitivity of photosynthesis and water relations for two widespread Great Basin Desert shrub species, Artemisia tridentata (which has both deep and shallow roots) and Purshia tridentata (which reportedly has only deep roots), to (1) variation in pulse magnitude size, (2) the kinetics of responses to pulses, and (3) the relationship between pulse-size and antecedent soil water content. At the study site in the southwestern Great Basin Desert, USA, summer rainfall exhibits a greater frequency of larger-sized events, and longer inter-pulse intervals, compared to annual patterns. Compared to pre-watering values, stem water potential initially increased by about 2.00 MPa for A. tridentata and 1.00 MPa for P. tridentata following watering to simulate an 11.5 mm rainfall pulse. For the same water addition, stomatal conductance increased by 0.3 mol m−2 s−1 and photosynthetic CO2 assimilation increased 8-fold for A. tridentata and 6-fold for P. tridentata. Water potential and photosynthetic gas exchange were maximal for both species 2–3 days following a pulse addition. In comparison to P. tridentata, the increase in photosynthesis for A. tridentata was more pronounced for plants treated incrementally with several small pulses compared to plants treated with one pulse of an equivalent total volume. The results indicate that both species can respond to a range of summer rainfall pulse magnitudes within about 2 days, with A. tridentata generally exhibiting larger responses in comparison to the co-dominant shrub species P. tridentata, which at this study site does indeed have shallow roots. In a future climate, the timing and magnitude of summer rainfall pulses will determine the extent to which these two species undergo changes in water status and photosynthetic carbon uptake, with implications for their fitness.

Sales Managers
Most companies that have a national or regional presence employ sales managers to manage the activity of their stores, the merchandise or services sold, and the performance of their sales staff. They may be in charge of multiple stores as determined by their territory. Some sales managers oversee territories that encompass a section of a large city, while others cover entire regions of the United States or abroad.
Sales managers oversee activities of each store's sales staff within their assigned territory. They implement training programs for employees to improve the work flow, interaction with customers, and familiarity with the company's products or services. Sales managers set sales goals for each salesperson, store managers, and the store itself. They monitor a store or stores' monthly or quarterly sales figures to ensure they meet set sales quotas. If not, they make recommendations to increase sales figures. These might include creating new sales presentations or special advertising programs or implementing employee retraining. Sales managers also work with each store manager to devise seasonal advertising campaigns and establish marketing budgets.
If their parent company offers franchising opportunities, sales managers are often responsible for interviewing and assessing potential owners. They explain company policies, procedures, and the principles behind its products or services. Sales managers may analyze potential market locations to determine if a new store would be viable. Once a new franchise is operational, sales managers visit often to inspect the store to ensure it is meeting company safety codes, procedures, and marketing plans.
Sales managers also oversee the quality and quantity of products sold or services rendered. For example, the regional sales manager of a national jewelry chain may inspect the loose diamonds or other gemstones that are purchased from wholesalers to determine if they meet the standards of the parent company. They may increase merchandise orders for each store to keep inventory levels sufficient during holidays or other times of the year when sales increase.
Sales managers may also be involved in product research and development. For example, district or regional managers of stores specializing in home goods may be instrumental in finding new furniture lines, kitchenware, or other accessories to carry in their stores. They often maintain contact with dealers and distributors to ensure imported goods arrive safely and in a timely manner, as well as meet governmental import regulations and procedures.
In addition to being familiar with their store's products, sales managers must also be knowledgeable about their company's work processes. For example, a district sales manager for the McDonald's Corporation must know the proper way to cook, prep, and package each food item on the company's menu.
Other duties of sales managers include monitoring the purchasing preferences of customers, writing reports, and representing the company at trade shows, conventions, and association meetings.

New Striker
Just been looking about at some 'Transfer gossip' and we have been linked with alot of strikers, alot that i have never even heard of.. i just want to no what people think about them if they are any good or not, fair enough they might be decent goal scorers in there leagues but do you all rekon they could cut it in the premier league
Romelu Lukaku - Anderlecht (only 17)
Artem Milevskiy - Dynamo Kiev (25)
Ola Toivonen - PSV Eindhoven (24)
Andre-Pierre Gignac - Toulouse (24)
Ricky van Wolfswinkel - Utrecht (21)Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Don't know much about any of them other than Lukaku and that's only because a lad in work has been banging on about it for the last year. 17 years old and already built like Drogba. Was in the Anderlecht first team at 16 so the potential must be there. At the £9-10m I have seen quoted I would say he is definetly worth a punt. The thing is, do we really have the money to take a 'punt' on someone? I don't think so but then people could say every foreign player is a punt. He would be my choice to bring in.

My preffered option is a straight swap for Ibrahimovic but I appreciate its unlikelihood. If we have to let a world class player leave then we should be bringing one the other way. I would also not be upset at the prospect of bringing Bojan and Abidal.

Ha ! Tiago Alcantara is rated as one of the brightest prospects to emerge from the Barcelona youth setup in years. He's an astounding playmaker in the Xabi Alonso mould and featured alongside our very own Dani Pacheco in the recent u19 European Championships, Barca wouldn't release him anyway.
My thoughts are that any Masch sale depends on whether we get a backup striker. Now I feel a deal to either Inter or Barca is very unlikely at the minute. Inter already have Cambiasso, Motta, Muntari, Stankovic, Mariga & Zanetti on their books who can already play that role. And Barca already have Keita, Busquets & Adriano on their books that can adopt such a role to great a effect they also have their usual 22-24 players on their books which Guardiola has always said he needs and would be happy with.
Now if rumours are true this morning that Babel is rumoured to be interesting VFL Wolfsburg at around £9m then this could be the chance to sell on and bring in a new striker. Now what has to be taken into consideration is does Hodgson think he can revitalise a player to regain form on a constant basis. Or does he move him on, take the £9m and bring in that backup striker we oh so need?.
The Masch thing is becoming a nightmare as I can imagine him moving on deadline day, leaving us no time to prep a replacement or spend the cash elsewhere. I dont know whether I would want to keep Babel at £9m or not, I suspect that Roy isnt sure either. I guess the problem is, Babel needs to play every week to find his form so we will have to just wait and see.
Im assuming Babel wasnt in sundays squad due to injury? Also any clues as to to why there was no prescence of Aurelio, Aquilani or Insua?
A Yahoo! User Aug 18, 2010 15:31 Flag
I think maybe the January transfer window will be when Masch leaves unless there is some movement at both Barca & Inter in the sense of players leaving. Now if we go on what various websites are saying and a few rumours, it is that a deal is already in place for a 'said' striker and it all hinges on movement at Anfield and funds available. I for one wouldn't be disheartened if Masch is actually with us until Jan - beginning of next season as in theory he's pivotal part of us trying to get that 4th spot.
In reply to why the players mentioned missed the Arsenal game. I know Hodgson commented a week or two ago that Aurelio was a week or so away from been match fit. Now in regards to Insua I've got a sneaky feeling Hodgson doesn't rate the lad as he was fit for Sundays game yet Roy opted for Agger at LB. Aquilani I haven't got a clue mate, and Babel I can only think that he isn't over his injury that he suffered either before or whilst he was at the WC or he's just not match fit.
I think give Babel another season and then look at getting rid if he hasn't come up to scratch. I think there is a talented player hid away somewhere. Its just been able to unlock it lol.
I thought Babel was on the bench on Sunday?
Yes he was on the bench:
Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Agger; Mascherano, Gerrard; Kuyt, Cole, Jovanovic; Ngog.
Subs: Cavalieri, Aurelio, Torres, Maxi, Babel, Lucas, Kelly.
I think he wasn't brought on as we were a man down defending a 1-0 lead and opted for a more disciplined Maxi instead,
haha no probem mate ;-) just wondered who he was...was kinda worried they'd signe Luis Suarez...now that would be a scary front line...Messi, Villa and Suarez!
I don't think Barca need any further help looking formidable up front. ;oD
torres and ngog operate as lone front men and i have yet to see a game where either of them have performed well with a partner so the lone front man is our way of playing and as such we dont have a real desperate need for a £15-20 million poud striker but we do have an urgent need for a left full back and another midfielder

AbstractIn this project, we propose to make a handheld tool that supports the maintenance engineer in evaluating the health of equipment or evaluating the scenarios available form sensor data. The unit will be based on a monitoring node with an additional GUI (Graphical User Interface) and firmware to make interaction simple and instantaneous. The proposed units uniqueness is in that it uses on-board processing to analyze data and immediately present the user with graphs, recommendations and access to data on similar scenarios and the outcome. Additionally, the system will allow the user to log their efforts and notes and transfer all this data to a central repository for further analytical analysis. The majority of enabling technology used in the unit comes as a spin-off from the advanced rate of development in the mobile phone industry. Low power and cost microprocessors and microcontrollers will be used to analyze data, run the GUI and communicate with sensors and systems. The coding to interface all the components and database will be also play a major roll in the project. Algorithms to efficiently process and present the data on the hand held unit as well as communicate with a central PC will be developed.

2008 Clintonistas Ready For Their Date With the Washington Caucus
posted by January 19 at 17:30 PMon
Posted by Ryan S. Jackson
"It's been a great day, but this contest is going to be decided state by state by state… what happens in the Washington caucus is going to count."
King County Executive Ron Sims was speaking before a group of roughly 35 Hillary Clinton supporters who had turned out for this afternoon's caucus training, held in a Machinists Union hall in the deepest regions of the South Park neighborhood. Those in attendance might have been getting over the fact that repairs to the South Park bridge had led to a twisting detour through south Seattle before arriving, but the room seemed drained of some of the energy you would expect from a group of people whose candidate had just won a hard-fought victory in Nevada.
Sims told me before going on that his wife had been in Nevada this morning organizing voters for Clinton, and that many of union voters had "utterly rebelled against the culinary unionthey were tired of being told by anyone what to do." The Culinary Union is the most prominent in Nevada and its endorsement of Obama was a major flashpoint in the caucus; it was interesting to hear a local politician get drawn into the national campaign narrative.
Jim Kainber, the buoyant high-level Washington organizer for Clinton, went on after Sims and took the group through the paces of the caucus process. Other speakers included powerful State Senator Margarita Prentice of Washington's 11th District, who tailored her remarks to the now-familiar Clinton coalition of older voters and women voters. They responded to the question of, "How many of you have caucused before?" with a room full of raised hands.
The large group eventually broke up into "mock caucuses" by district; I decided to sit in on the 43rd, hoping to see the master strategy that would turn Capitol Hill into a Hillary Clinton bastion. The district Clinton co-chair seemed to be intent on having his district respond to some of the arguments that led to Barack Obama's victory in Iowa: One of the group's three young-ish voters made a remark about emphasizing Obama's "present" votes in the Illinois senate, which was cut-off with a clipped, "I would stay away from anything that would appear negative."
The co-chair also emphasized Obama's success in asking voters to make him their caucus second choice, and encouraged Hillary's caucus trainees to always be politely engaging about something they admire about Hillary rather than something they don't about Obama. Given the youth demographics of the 43rd District, this seemed like a pretty sound strategy.
Before I left, I asked Jim Kainber whether there are official plans to match the Obama campaign's decision to open an official Washington State office. He said he doesn't think it will happen until after the caucus, and that the Clinton campaign is placing faith in aggressive phone banking with volunteers.
"The office is more of a psychological thing," Kainber told me.

Read an Excerpt
The girl danced alone in the moonlight. Brett Noland stood behind a tree watching her, mesmerized. His watch dial glowed 1:00 a.m. When he'd left the cabin where his mother lay asleep to walk and think and figure out how he was going to accept all that had happened in the past month, he hadn't expected to see another living soul. Then he'd rounded a curve in the trail and seen a girl with long, dark hair twirling, swirling, spinning in an open field under the light of the bright full moon.
She wore a long ballerina skirt and held a filmy scarf that fluttered behind her like gossamer wings. There was no music that Brett could hear, only the sound of her graceful leaps in the tall grass. He wasn't sure if he should go back the way he came or wait until she left. The last thing he wanted was for her to catch him. It wasn't right to spy on people, but for the moment he felt glued to the ground.
She ran across the field, jumping and turning in the air like a gazelle. She slipped into the shadows of some trees. Brett held his breath, waiting for her to emerge into the field. She did not. He blinked, listened to the sound of the blood rushing in his ears. Where was she? She had seemed to disappear into thin air. Brett exhaled slowly and, feeling shaken, wondered if she had been there in the first place.
Maybe he'd imagined her. He'd felt stressed and hassled lately. So maybe the girl had only been a figment of an overactive imagination. The idea depressed him. On top of everything else, now he might be going nuts.
"Why are you spying on me?"
Her voice came from behind him, startling Brett so badly that he yelped. Whipping around, he saw her standing in the center of the trail, blocking his escape. "II wasn't spying," he said, his voice raspy, his heart pounding. "I was walking. I saw you. I didn't mean for you to see me."
"Then you shouldn't wear watches with glow-in-the-dark dials." She gestured to his wrist.
He covered the watch self-consciously, feeling foolish, and turned to face her more fully. "You do this often?" he asked, trying to regain his composure. "Dance under the moon?"
"Are you a reporter?"
"No . . . I'm Brett Noland. Who are you?"
She studied him, tipping her head to one side. Moonlight flecked her hair. "Shayla," she said.
She stepped forward, and he saw that she was tall, almost as tall as he was, which, according to his mother, was shorter than his father had been. When he'd had a father. "I just moved here," Brett blurted out when Shayla brushed past him to return to the open field.
"I didn't think you looked like a regular."
"What do regulars look like?" He followed her, suddenly not wanting to be alone. The girl intrigued him.
"Where are you from?" she asked.
"Key West, Florida."
She stopped. "Did you live near the sea?"
"Key West is almost surrounded by the sea, so yeah, I lived near it."
"Is it beautiful in the sunlight?"
Brett thought it a very odd question but decided to humor her. "Well, yes. But why"
"Different from the sea up here, isn't it?"
"Everything's different up here, including the sea," he said bitterly. He and his mother had moved to the coastal town of Harden, Massachusetts, two weeks before. She'd taken a new job with a small seafood manufacturing plant, telling Brett it was time for a change, and no amount of begging her not to move had changed her mind. She kept telling him it was a big promotion, more money, a better opportunity. "And we'll be living closer to Boston Children's Hospital than we do to Miami Children's Hospital," she'd added, as if that would justify totally uprooting his life.
Brett hated his new location, a backwater town that squatted between the hills and woods to the west and the craggy shoreline of the ocean to the east. Industry consisted of fisheries that stunk of salt brine and fish processing. One of those fisheries had hired his mother to manage the office and product shipments. In the Keys, the ocean was pale green, warm and spiked with the smells of exotic flowers and tropical breezes. Here the coast was lined with rocks, not soft white sand. It was harsh, wild, unfriendly.
"You don't sound too happy to be here," Shayla said.
"I wanted to stay in Key West. I'll be a senior, and I wanted to finish school with my friends, but Mom took a new job, and I lost out."
"Tough break."
"You live here?"
"All my life."
"So what's school like?"
"I don't go to school."
Her answer caught him off guard. "Are you homeschooled?"
"What's that?"
"I go to school on the Internet. And sometimes a homebound teacher comes over and spends time with me."
He was taken aback. Homebound teachers only came to help sick kids. He knew that for a fact. Shayla looked normal, better than normal. "Do you live around here?"
"Beyond the woods. How about you?"
"Mom's renting a cabin." He motioned behind him, feeling awkward. Shayla wasn't forthcoming with information, and Brett didn't have much experience with girls. He was usually shy around them, perplexed and mystified by their capricious natures.
Shayla held the chiffon scarf across her eyes and peered up at the moon. "Pretty, isn't it?"
"Yes," he said, meaning both the moon and her. Now that he was closer, he saw that she really was pretty. Her hair fell straight and sleek almost to her waist. Her eyes were almond shaped and in the pale light looked like clear glass. He wondered what color they might be. "Did you sneak out to meet someone?"
"Did you?"
"Do you ever answer a question straight out?"
She laughed, and he thought that made her even prettier. "So tell me, Brett Noland, what did you think when you saw me dancing in the moonlight? Did you think I was crazy?"
"Are you?" Two could play her game of double questions.
"No." She threw the scarf into the air, and they both watched it flutter downward. "To both questions," she said. "I'm not crazy and I'm not meeting anyone."
"You just like to run around in the moonlight?"
He wanted to put her on the defensive. "I knowyou're Titania."
"The fairy queen from Midsummer Night's Dream? Is that who you think I am?"
He was shocked that she had instantly known the character from Shakespeare's play. He read constantly, especially the classics, but knew few his age who did the same. "A druid then," he said.
"I don't worship trees," Shayla said with a toss of her head.
"You're a sprite."
"I'm too tall for a pixie."
"A ghost?"
"Some think so."
A shiver shot up his spine. This experience was turning surreal.
"Are you out of guesses?" she asked, making him feel undereducated, as if he'd forgotten some major category.
"I'm thinking," he said, racking his brain for another class of mythical beings who showed up only at night. He snapped his fingers. "Werewolves! No, waityou don't have enough body hair to be a werewolf."
Again she laughed. "I think only men can be werewolves."
"You're right." He searched his memory, warming to the game they were playing. "Ah . . . I know, vampires come out at night. Are you a vampire?"
She looked straight at him and he felt his heart race crazily. The moon glowed along her hair, lit her face. Her skin was the color of sand, her eyes luminous, hypnotic pools. "Yes," she said. "I am."

These three stories were really cute. I cried. Alot. The three stories were attached by one poem. In every story, one way or another, the main character reads it. If you want an emotional, unforgetable and achingly sweet book to read, this one is the one you've been looking for. Once again, Lurlene McDaniel steals my heart away with her precious writing.
Personally, its an okay book. There are some that she written that is better but this is better than others. The storyline was good. In all three stories, the main character's love one dies in very different ways but they are connected by this one book. Sonnets from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Barrett Browing. My favorite would have to be the first tale, Night Vision. Go check it out. ;]
this is a great book i think that this is a very touching book i'v read it abut 8 times keep on writing
this book is amazing..i cryed like a baby. ive read it twice so far and i highly recommend it:)
These stories were so touching and inspiring, not to mention well written! They're all so sweet. I just about cried my eyes out during the last story (Laura's Heart), although the other stories were definitely "cry worthy" too. You MUST read this book!
The stories were pretty good.The last one I must admit made me cry!
??Once I've read the first page I couldn't stop to read the book. It's soo romantic and I've also cried in some parts of the stories but this is a 5 star rating. Once you read this book...it will blow your mind and your heart.??
I love music, and l want to go into it myself! And it doesn't matter how old you are. Taylor Swift was 14.
 It depends. Do you want to play an instrument for a famous singer, or sing yourself? I'm assuming the latter.
 Record yourself on a CD. If you play guitar, better. You could go into a recording studio, give them your CD and contact info. And wait. That's what Taylor Swift did. It'd be easier to record yourself and post it on YouTube. You can write your n songs, or sing songs by other people. I suggest trying to write a song.
 About writing a song, l've heard of this app or soething were you can watch (short) videos from celebrities on how to do something. Writing a song was one of them.
 There's a college that l bieve is in Nashville. It has to do with music and other arts. You could go there. That's where Trisha Yearwood went, and look where she is now!
 One mor thing: Many, singers get their career from winning a singing show. You can try out for American Idol or the Voice. I would research both first, so you know what to expect. I will say that Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood both won American Idol.

 I wish you luck. Keep us all updated! I'd love to see how a peer is farring in the music world. Good luck!

(Nashville was Taylor's starter) Another option, find a way to record yourself and get yourself a cd of songs you sang. Make multiple copies, and go on a radio tour, lik walk into the big radio place, say hi I am so and so, please listen to this, and walk out. Also, perform live anywhere you can.
With it depends. I will do the same. Be like 5SOS and start on youtube and create a sml band d star playing some awesome songs! ~Julie ☺
What kind of Music? You<_>tube is the best option, if you dont know how or don have a youtube acount you can send my e-<_>mail video. I this option disturbs you to much, just tell me. (Not saying my e-<_>mail until you agrees.)
How do I go about getting in the music business? I have one year until I can try to pursue my dreams. Can anyone give me help on how to work towards my dream? How to get there when I can? Anything will help.

All three stories were very heart-warming and touching. Lurlene Mcdaniel is a great writter and my favorite author. From this book all three stories were great espically "Bobby's Girl".
