Book Review: World Aircraft & Systems Directory (Brassey's) : AVH
Jane's longtime pre-eminence in the field of aircraft information may be challenged by a new volume.
A remarkable volume that may pose a real threat to the hallowed Jane's All the World's Aircraft has been compiled underthe direction of Michael Taylor as chief editor. The big, new book is Brassey's World Aircraft & Systems Directory(Brassey's Inc., McLean, Va. 1996, $99.95).
The subtitle The World's Most Comprehensive Aviation Reference Work seems a little presumptuous at first, until onedelves into the 673 well-indexed pages and realizes that it is chock-full of the kind of information that you need, everythingfrom the fax number for the makers of the Italian Dragon Fly helicopter (+39 31 787 641) to the address for the ChangzhouLan Xiang Machinery Works (Changzhou, Jiangsu 213123, People's Republic of China).
The layout of the book is inspired, although it must have been costly to do. Instead of simply having all the aircraft of onecountry lumped together, Brassey's breaks down the table of contents by equipment type–Combat Aircraft, Airliners, GeneralAviation, Missiles, Radar, etc. As a resuilt, this big book lends itself to easy browsing.
One particularly interesting feature is the editors' statement of "aims" for each aircraft, something often lost in the scatter ofother books. Another interesting aspect is the concise development history of each aircraft, which places the aircraft inperspective over an extended period of time. The editors also have managed to achieve the ultimate in the presentation ofsuccinct but still readable information; the section on the aims of the Lockheed Martin F-117A, for example, clearly details in asingle paragraph the salient elements of low observable (stealth) technology.
The book makes a number of strong impressions. The foremost is its quality–the print is sharp, drawings are clear and photos,while often small, are excellent. The new aviation developments outlined in this volume also make some strong impressions,among them the wealth of de-sign ideas flowering in the states of the former Soviet Union, and the incredible outpouring of recreational aircraft designs incountries all over the world. One would think that the Hindenburg disaster had never occurred to read the 16 pages devotedto buoyant airships of every size and shape–from small, electric-powered, radio-controlled experimental models to theRussian Thermoplane ALA-600, a gargantuan dish-shaped vehicle capable of carrying 600 tons over 3,000 miles, with a takeoff weight of 2,645,500 pounds.
World Aircraft & Systems Directory provides the reader with a new and very appreciative view of aviation as the centuryends–and at $99.95, it is a little over one-third the cost of a Jane's. Talk about value for money–this is it.

Sparkly Danger
This is a partial attic converted into the children's play-room, complete with a ribbon-decorated vent pipe that lacks adequate clearances and has a separated section joint—a nice escape valve for those flue gases. I bet the kids are always ready for sleep after playing in here!

We honored 27 graduates of an inaugural community leadership program this week, an effort inspired by alumni of our Latino Initiative program.
On Saturday November 5th the Center for International Understanding, the City of Raleigh, Wake County, NC State University's Cooperative Extension and the Consulate General of Mexico celebrated the achievements of an inspiring group of community leaders who participated in the Taller de Liderazgo Comunitario (TLC) or Community Leadership Workshop. Graduates of this program completed a series of classes that informed participants of the various resources in the area available for the Latino community such as after school programming, health and legal services, and dropout prevention programs. Knowledge of these avenues is important for long time residents but especially so for people who may be new to the area. Those who have completed the program hope to share these insights with their friends, relatives, and neighbors in the community. With 27 graduates of the program this goal is well on its way to reality.

Information About the Area from our Experts
Kiona Gould - Real Estate Agent
Rockford, Illinois has a wide variety of great little restaurants. Beefaroo has the best cheeseburgers in town, no doubt about that. The Social Urban Bar & Restaurant is a stylish little restaurant with an extensive drinks menu and all the fresh and local flavor you want. The Octane InterLounge is another chic little dining destination. For Japanese food, try the JMK Nippon Restaurant, Marc's Fusion Cafe, or Kuma's Asian Bistro; all are well-liked. A restaurant called "Der Rathskeller" is actually an authentic German restaurant, especially popular due to the high population of Germans in the region. For pizza, go to Capri, or Lino's. On-campus at RVC, there is a Subway, Papa John's, some vending machines, and a small coffee shop. There are no dorms at RVC, so no dining halls, either, but with the extensive local cuisine options, I don't think too many students are upset about this.
Apartment Costs
Kiona Gould - Real Estate Agent
Since RVC does not offer student housing, students must either be locals, commuters, and/or find their own housing nearby. In terms of one-bedrooms in Rockford, it seems as though half are about $420/month, and the other half are around $900/month. Two-bedrooms average around $500-850/month. In Rockford, you could find a three-bedroom for $1200/month, and a four-bedroom for $700/month. The prices here are all over. For those wanting college roommates, you could certainly save a lot of money renting a townhouse and splitting the bills three or four ways.

Fisher takes nothing for granted
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Tony Fisher has replaced Najeh Davenport as Ahman Green's top backup, making a remarkable turnaround from an injury-filled training camp when it appeared his roster spot was in jeopardy.
But Fisher, a second-year pro from Notre Dame, isn't exactly secure in his new role.
Asked if he was nervous back in August about getting cut, he replied: "I'm nervous every day. You've got to be nervous some. But you also have confidence in yourself and faith in God that you'll do what you've got to do."
His nervousness is by design.
"It keeps me from getting relaxed," Fisher said. "You have to remember, I was an undrafted free agent. No matter what, I'll always have that label. Until I feel otherwise, I'm going to always worry about what can happen.
"You can be a fan favorite, but if you're not a favorite among the coaches, that doesn't mean anything."
Coach Mike Sherman said he never lost faith in Fisher even after Herbert Goodman came into camp and did so well, pushing for a roster spot.
"Fisher had made an impact last season and had a lot of staff confidence, including my own, in him," Sherman said. "He was injured, and the fact that he wasn't practicing didn't detract from that. I knew what he was about, so I had a lot of confidence in him.
"Certainly Herbert Goodman made an impression, but so did Tony Fisher in the games he played last year."
So, Sherman kept Fisher over Goodman, who was waived in the final roster cutdown.
Still, Fisher won't relax.
"As long as I've got that little voice in the back of my head saying, 'This could be your last practice,' I've got to go out there every day and do what I can," he said.
Fisher has carried 13 times for 66 yards and a 5.1-yard average spelling Green. He had an 11-yard touchdown run against Seattle last week.
He replaced Davenport as Green's top backup after Davenport fumbled three times against Detroit in Week 2.
"My snaps are limited as it is, so I know when I get my opportunity I have to go in and take advantage of it," Fisher said. "I'm always going to keep it in the back of my mind. I always have to stay hungry, all the time."
SHARPER IMAGE: The "Sharper Shake" lives on.
Darren Sharper, who had said he would tone down his act after television announcers made fun of his preening several times during a Monday night game in Chicago, did his dance Sunday against Seattle after his third quarter interception.
"I was so excited, I had to do something," Sharper explained.
Sharper still plans to bring out the dance after a touchdown or interception, just not after plays such as sacks and other tackles.
Coach Mike Holmgren has asked Sharper to tone it down and he took a shot at his Pro Bowl safety this week when asked if his hugging Sharper after the interception showed his extra emotion to beat the Seahawks and mentor Mike Holmgren.
"I just want to keep him from doing that little dance that he does," Sherman said. "So, by hugging him, it kept him from doing that. And so that was just being proactive there."
But it didn't really stop the Sharper Shake.
BARNETT HONOR: Linebacker Nick Barnett has won the NFL's rookie of the week award for the second time.
Barnett, who also won the award in Week 2, had a team-high 12 tackles and a sack in the Packers' 35-13 rout of Seattle on Sunday.
The team's leader with 53 tackles, Barnett is the only repeat winner this season.
He is a first-round draft pick out of Oregon State but is playing middle linebacker for the first time. He played outside linebacker in college, where he started out as a defensive back.
"So, he is a work in progress," coach Mike Sherman said. "But he's a very quality piece of work. And the end product will be a very, very good product. He's just not there yet, but he's getting there.
"The thing I admire about Nick is, No. 1, his emotion and passion to play, his dedication and he very seldom makes the same mistake twice," Sherman said.
Sherman said he's going to have to keep an eye on Barnett as the season wears on because he's playing so many snaps and could get worn down.
But Barnett scoffs at the notion.
"Why's everybody always talking about me hitting a wall?" he asked a television reporter Thursday. "If I hit a wall, I'll climb it. I know how to climb walls.
"Every game's just another opportunity for me to make plays."
EXTRA POINTS: Linebackers Na'il Diggs and Paris Lenon, both of whom have sprained right knees, returned to practice Thursday. Safety Antuan Edwards (ankle) and defensive ends Chukie Nwokorie (shoulder) and Joe Johnson (triceps) haven't practiced all week. ... Right tackle Mark Tauscher, who sat out almost all of last year after blowing out a knee, said he has his good days and his bad ones: "I'm not going to say 100 percent, but I feel good. For the most part. Most days I feel real good. There's some days I don't. But I'm not going to complain about it. I feel happy just to be back out here playing."

Bellarmine's academic advising system is designed to help students plan effectively a coherent, integrated program of study related to their personal interests as well as academic and professional goals. Academic advisors cooperate with students to help them make informed choices about course scheduling, careers, and graduate school preparation.
All students have the responsibility to meet regularly with their faculty advisors to plan their course of study. Students should consult with their advisors as the chief resource person at the university. Also, the Office of Student Affairs maintains a Career Center which provides career counseling, testing, and consultation.
All traditional-age freshmen have a freshman advisor who is their instructor for Freshman Focus, a one-credit course that introduces students to various aspects of achievement in college. The advisor also provides direction concerning academic skills, social involvement, and personal issues as they relate to college. In the first year, the Dean of Academic Advising assigns those students who have declared a major to an advisor in the major field of study.
The second year provides opportunities to deepen relationships with faculty, staff, and peers, continue learning about major and minor areas of interest, and explore career and internship possibilities.
Transfer and part-time students should consult the department chair in their major or contact the Dean of Academic Advising for assistance on obtaining their academic advisor.
For more information about academic advisement, contact the Associate Dean of Academic Advising, Andrew Schroeder (502.272.7450).

Wordpress 3.4.1
OptimizePress 1.5
WordPress SEO 1.2.5 by Joost de Valk
Created a page named as 'Blog' using the template "Blog Template".
It works fine while the SEO plugin is deactivated. There's a list of posts.
Once the SEO plugin is activated, the area where the posts are supposedly listed is now blank.
After playing around, I found out the cause.
I used print_r to display the query_posts args array. Here's what I found out:
With SEO plugin activated:
Array ( [author] => 5 [post_date] => DESC [cat] => -0 [paged] => 1 )
With SEO plugin deactivated:
Array ( [author] => [post_date] => DESC [cat] => -0 [paged] => 1 )
[author] was set like this, 'author' => get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )
Please fix the plugin, as a temporary solution, I set author to blank while it is activated.

Parade Magazine's Questions Answered
(The questions this week were kind of thin, plus I am distracted by my blog I am working on for tomorrow. It's a breakdown of the celebrity sex tape. I am pretty happy with it thus far, it might give the Dakota Fanning Blog a run for the money. Also I spent most of yesterday working on the new homepage for pointlessbanter.net I think it is spiffy. I also posted the voting results from the top blogger awards there for those of you who don't go to that group. Thanks to everyone that voted!)
Q. Broadway legend Chita Rivera was in a crippling collision involving a taxi a while back. Can she still dance?
T. Foley, Washington, D.C.
A: If she was in a "crippling" collision why would you ask that question or word it that way.
Crippling- To cause to lose the use of a limb or limbs
So technically didn't you already answer your question in your question?
Well I guess she could hop around or something, which is how I dance Chicks dig it.
Q. I read that British naturalist David Attenborough did a PBS special. About what?
Joe Bryan, Honolulu, Hawaii
A: What do you think it was about? It was about how people live in those groups totally nude, you know nudist colonies? Why the hell are nudists always middle aged people that you wouldn't want to see nude? I never got that. It totally freaks me out, just like when you go to a nudist beach it is like half perverts and maybe there will be one attractive girl there. Not that I have been to a nude beach. And furthermore
Wait he's a naturalist and not a nudist oh let's move on.
Q. There's been talk lately that Lincoln was homosexual. On what evidence is this assertion made?
Tom W., Peabody, Mass.
A: Tom I have indisputable proof that Lincoln was a homosexual. Just take a look at this photo.
He's a cross dresser He is such a bitch. See you all thought I was going to go with a brokeback joke didn't you?
Side Note- NEVER do a yahoo images search for tranny… It was a horrible lesson I had to learn. Plus there were lot's of Janet Reno pics.
Q. The closing credits for the latest version of Pride and Prejudice say "Special thanks to Emma Thompson." What contribution did the actress make?
Rachel Madden-Connor, San Diego, Calif.
A: Fluffer
Q. I heard that CBS offered Katie Couric $17 million to $20 million to anchor the CBS Evening News. What's wrong with the guy they've got: Bob Schieffer?
Lester Hoover, Los Angeles, Calif.
A: He's old, he isn't perky, and he isn't loved by housewives everywhere Plus I can't see his nipples when it gets cold the in the studio
Q. It has been more than 10 years since the O.J. Simpson trial. Whatever happened to O.J.'s "professional houseguest," Kato Kaelin?
Scott Brown, Milwaukee, Wis.
A: Does anyone really care? He falls into the Paris Hilton class of getting famous without ever really doing anything. I still never understood why he was staying at OJ's house. He had to be a coke dealer or something.
But talk about winning the lottery in life. You just happened to be at a house where a double murder takes places. You come off in the trial is a lazy, idiot, that has no real station in life. After that tv interview offers start coming in, you start making appearances in tv and films, plus get to host a couple of low end shows. On top of that you don't go away for TEN years
You know what I am actually kind of jealous. Maybe I could live in like Fred Durst's guest house; he is due to snap and kill someone.

Shane William Grogan, also known as Shane Calder, is alleged
to have befriended at least three women through internet
sites, then stolen from them.
The 46-year-old from Christchurch travelled to Rotorua last
October to stay with a woman in her 50s who he had met
online, police claim.
They say he left abruptly, taking a bankcard he used to
withdraw money, and a car which was later recovered.
Police allege that the following month Grogan travelled to
the Palmerston North area to meet another online contact, a
woman in her 30s.
He stayed at her home for a week, and proposed to her before
leaving abruptly with cash and other belongings, police say.
The latest allegations concern an incident police say
occurred around New Year when Grogan travelled to Waimate to
meet another woman in her 50s.
He stayed with her for six days but left after stealing
valuable heirloom jewellery and a computer, police allege.
Officers claim Grogan returned to Christchurch and pawned
some of the stolen items. Some of the stolen jewellery has
now been recovered.
Acting Sergeant Chris Macpherson says the alleged offending
was deceptive and predatory and it's possible other women may
have similar incidents to report.
Grogan is wanted on warrants in relation to charges of theft
from a dwelling, using a document for pecuniary advantage and
unlawfully taking a motor vehicle.
He is described as European, 1.9 metres tall and of thin
Mr Macpherson says the allegations should serve as a warning
on the dangers of befriending strangers through internet
"We always urge people to be cautious about people they meet
online and not rush into relationships before they are
certain of their character and intentions."
Anyone with information on Grogan's whereabouts is asked to
contact Christchurch police on 03 363 7400 or Crimestoppers,
anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

I remember seeing this in a YouTube video years past. I think it was for a Two Steps From Hell piece. A truly magnificent piece, this portrait.
So stunning.
I don't mean to ruin the name, but in Latin, "basilica" means "court" or "jury".
There's a video on youtube with your artwork as a background. I didn't know if they had your permission or not, I just wanted to let you know it's there.
OMG soo lucky to get this print in person!
Stunning work you have here peep!
This is so beautiful! I remember the first time I saw this in google images years and years ago and now I finally found the artist! It is really amazing, especially how you could paint her lying in water.
I didn't but that picture is pretty frequently used for rp without permission over the years so I don't put much effort into stifling them anymore ):
I'm so fan of your art !

The Summer Band's annual Harvard Yard concert will take place at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 28th and the annual Hatch Shell concert on the Charles River Esplanade at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 31st. You may pre-register online before the first rehearsal. Pre-registration is not required but it is helpful for setting up the first rehearsal. Participants are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early on the June 22nd to meet the conductor and fellow section members.
For more information, please call the Harvard University Band at 617-496-2263 or email Mark Olson (email@example.com).
In a Nutshell:
First Rehearsal Wed. June 22
All rehearsals are Wednesdays from 7:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in Sanders Theatre
Thursday July 28th, at 4:00 in Harvard Yard
Sunday July 31st, at 3:00 at the Hatch Memorial Shell
Sanders Theatre is at 45 Quincy Street on the Harvard University Campus
Directions From I90 (Massachusetts Turnpike): Take Cambridge exit. Take the first left, onto Soldiers Field Road (west). Take Harvard Square exit, bear right across Anderson Bridge, and drive straight into Harvard Square. You should pass the Harvard Coop and Nini's Corner Newspaper Stand on your left, and on your right you will see the Harvard Square Out of Town Ticket/Newspaper Stand (the "Kiosk"). At the next set of lights (which are located directly in front of the Johnston Gate, which is the main entrance to Harvard Yard), bear to your right. A fork in the road will immediately follow this set of lights, and you should bear right at that fork, traveling under the Underpass. As you travel under the Underpass, stay to your left. You will quickly be faced with another fork in the road (a fire station is situated in the middle of the fork). You now bear to your left at this fork, passing the fire station on your right and Memorial Hall/Sanders Theatre on your left. Turn left at the first light, which puts you on Cambridge Street, then left on Kirkland.
On foot, take the Red Line to Harvard. Exit to Church St./Harvard Yard. Walk through Harvard Yard towards the Science Center. Sanders Theater will be to the right of the Science Center.
Parking in and around Harvard is difficult. The best way to commute would be to use public transportation or car pool. If that is not an option however, you can find metered parking on the street or you can purchase Harvard Parking one-day permits. The cost of the permits is $5.00 and can easily be obtained through University Parking online. You will be asked for a department (Division of Continuing Education) and department code (3021), your car license number and charge card number. Be connected to a printer, as you will need to print your permit at the time of purchase. For any parking questions please contact University Parking Services at 617-495-3772.

I find the best time is at the end of the day, when im not doing anything. Drink some milk or eat something and just sit and really pay attention to your body. It sometimes can feel like a gas bubble moving but over time you will see that there is a difference.
Just know that it will happen soon....I was really getting upset because everyone on here was feeling stuff and I wasnt but now that I am its ALOT! It will happen!
Movement from both of my babies have really never felt like flutters. They just go straight to jabs and pokes.

Objectives and characteristics of the study
The impact of pregnancy on women with heart disease or the impact of maternal disease on the outcome of pregnancy for the baby is not yet fully understood. Pregnant women may have a spectrum of structural heart disease including congenital heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathy, aortic disease and coronary artery disease. The heterogeneous nature of this group means that the information we use currently to develop our management protocols is incomplete and fragmented. The information provided by this registry will enable us to improve the accuracy of advice to women both before and during pregnancy and to develop better management protocols. It may also allow randomized studies to be targeted at specific problems. Such a registry has to be large in order to collect information on a sufficient numbers of patients with the wide variety of possible situations which may occur.
Determine the variation over the participating countries of structural heart disease for pregnant patients in the participating countries:Assess the maternal and foetal mortality and morbidity during pregnany and 6 months after pregnancy:
- Type of heart disease (i.e. valvular, congenital, ischaemic, cardiomyopathy
- Age during pregnancy
- Medication used before/during pregnancy
- Mode of delivery
Document the incidence of congenital heart disease in the babies born from women with congenital heart disease
Assess prospectively the changes in maternal cardiac function as a consequence of pregnancy using echocardiography
Assess use of medical resources utilisation (caesarean section, epidural anaesthesia) and its impact on outcome in different countries
Assess the results and complication rate of interventions performed during pregnancy
Test the value of the existing risk models on pregnancy outcome in patients with heart disease
Compare different types of anticoagulant therapy strategies used during pregnancy
Today more than 60 countries are participating in the registry, and we expect more to join!

Morgan Stanley Overtakes JPMorgan as Top Bank for Equity Sales
Morgan Stanley ended JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s two-year run as the top banker for stock sales after charging the lowest fees and winning deals from the U.S., China and Brazil to arrange offerings by state-owned companies.
The 75-year-old securities firm's global market share rose to 10.4 percent in 2010 on $72.7 billion of initial public offerings, additional sales and convertible bond issues, its first top ranking in six years, according to preliminary data compiled by Bloomberg. JPMorgan was second with $59.7 billion, while Goldman Sachs Group Inc. dropped to third after its share of U.S. equity underwriting slumped to the lowest level since at least 1998, the data show.
While banks vie for first place in the so-called league tables betting it may lead to more business, Morgan Stanley's ranking came at a price. It was paid an average 2.3 percent fee, the lowest of the top 10 banks, after underwriting state-backed sales of General Motors Co., Citigroup Inc., Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. and Petroleo Brasileiro SA.
"If the banks wanted to remain active, they've had to participate in some of the government-sponsored programs," said Eric Teal, chief investment officer at First Citizens Bancshares Inc. in Raleigh, North Carolina, which manages $4.5 billion. "Like most government programs, they tend not to be highly profitable, but they're larger in size. It's about getting in on some of those bigger deals even though there's less profit."
Lehman's Collapse
Banks arranged $699 billion in share sales this year, up 22 percent from 2009, as the MSCI World Index of 24 developed markets recouped almost all the losses spurred by the collapse of New York-based Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in September 2008. About 37 percent of Morgan Stanley's underwriting came from state-controlled companies, Bloomberg data show.
"It was the hangover and the legacy of the crisis that the government had stakes," said Bruce McCain, Cleveland-based chief investment strategist at KeyCorp's private-banking unit, which oversees $25 billion. "The market had recovered enough this year that it made sense to bring those stakes to market."
GM, 61 percent owned by the Treasury, paid 0.75 percent in fees, or a total of $136 million, to underwriters in its $18.1 billion IPO last month. The sale was the second-largest in U.S. history behind San Francisco-based Visa Inc.'s $19.7 billion deal in March 2008, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The government spent $49.5 billion to rescue the Detroit-based automaker after it filed for bankruptcy in June last year.
Citigroup Bailout
Morgan Stanley was the sole lead manager for the Treasury's sale of $10.5 billion of Citigroup stock this month. The deal helped the U.S. recoup some of the $45 billion it spent to bail out the New York-based lender. Citigroup paid $42.3 million in fees, or 0.4 percent of the proceeds, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Agricultural Bank of China in Beijing was charged fees of 1.96 percent for the Hong Kong portion of its record $22.1 billion IPO. Rio de Janeiro-based Petrobras paid 0.65 percent of the proceeds for the $22.8 billion sale underwritten by seven banks in September.
Fees for the government offerings arranged by Morgan Stanley averaged 0.9 percent, the data show. The firm split a 0.001 percent fee with five banks for India's sale of a $2.2 billion stake in Hyderabad-based NMDC Ltd. in March.
The average stock offering this year paid 3 percent in fees, three times more than on Morgan Stanley's government deals, the data show.
'Win or Lose'
"We don't want to ever win or lose business solely on the basis of fees," John Moore, co-head of U.S. equity capital markets at Morgan Stanley, said in a telephone interview. "As for large transactions, the benefits of market leadership in a single year are always important. But as, if not more, important is the opportunity to serve clients in varied ways over a long period of time."
JPMorgan, the second-biggest U.S. bank, underwrote 333 deals, the most this year and almost 10 percent more than Morgan Stanley, Bloomberg data show. Its market share fell for a second year even as the firm helped arrange sales for GM and Agricultural Bank, and the $20.5 billion Hong Kong IPO by AIA Group Ltd., the Asian unit of New York-based American International Group Inc.
The bank retained its top ranking for U.S. corporate bond sales, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. New York-based JPMorgan arranged 13.8 percent of the investment-grade debt offerings, while winning a 14 percent share for junk bonds. Tasha Pelio, a New York-based spokeswoman, declined to comment.
Coal India, Petronas Chemicals
In Asia, which accounted for 36 percent of the world's equity sales, JPMorgan missed out as Morgan Stanley managed the $3.5 billion state-backed sale from Kolkata-based Coal India Ltd. and Malaysia's $4.7 billion offering of Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd. in Kuala Lumpur. Goldman Sachs arranged Queensland's $4.2 billion IPO of Brisbane, Australia-based QR National Ltd.
Asia was Goldman Sachs's biggest market, accounting for 47 percent of its $57.2 billion in deals. The most profitable securities firm in the history of Wall Street also won the largest share of business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It was the sole manager for Boulogne-Billancourt, France-based Renault SA's sale of a $4.2 billion stake in Volvo AB of Gothenburg, Sweden, the region's largest deal of the year.
The gains failed to offset Goldman Sachs's decline in the U.S., where its share plummeted by 51 percent to 8.6 percent. Andrea Rachman, a spokeswoman for the New York-based company, declined to comment.

This bathrobe just wasn't for me. It runs big, and the terry isn't as plush as I wanted (it's still a good value, however). I like to cuff the sleeves and these sleeves you can't cuff bc the velvet doesn't line the inside of the cuff. Overall it is a good value, but it wasn't a slim enough cut for me. (I'm 5'10", 160.)
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? The idea is nice-- the plush velvet was pretty soft, and the terry part was nice, but not super thick.
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? Yes
Nice and thick quality. "Hotel"-Like quality and appearance. I got a S/M ( I'm 5.6, 135 pounds) and it fits me great. Might be on the large side for a true S person, but you can easily fold the sleeves. The Brown quilt is only on the outside of the sleeves and neck-peace, but the sleeves still looks nice when they are folded with the white on the outside. It is very comfortable and at the same time a very classy looking bathrobe.
I had a hard time finding a thick robe to replace a super thick hotel robe I had. I am very pleased with the thickness and it washed up well. I bought the tan trim and the robe is really pretty and luxurious looking. I bought his and hers and the his is plenty roomy for my 6 foot, 220 pound man. The sleves are just a tad long, but not so long they are a bother. I think I will enjoy this robe for years to come.
Nice robe but the sizing is HUGE! I am a tall woman but the L/XL was beyond big, it was unwearable. I do not consider this a unisex sizing, this belongs in a Tall and Big section. Very disappointed in this item.
I ordered two of these robes for house guests and they are much more attractive even than the picture showed. I can hardly wait for our guests to use them -- they will be very surprised.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Exact
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Exceptional
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very
Really love the robe, it is soft, absorbent and comfortable. I would recommend up-sizing though, because there is not an abundance of robe to wrap around you.
fits well; washes well. very comfortable
My wife loves this robe--one of her favorite Christmas presents this year. It is very comfortable, and it fits well. I'd say it is well worth the money, considering the ones I saw in shops around town. It absorbs moisture well after a shower and is very warm. My wife says that some microfiber or chenile robes make you sweat and don't absorb. (I almost bought one in green or grey for myself, but the one I have is still perfectly good.) I'd say, don't hesitate--get it!
This was my first time shopping here and I was very impressed with the website. Finding products was a breeze and checking out was very easy. My husband just loves the robe. It fits great and looks great. Thanks for having a website like this to order items. I will be returning to purchase more items. I have already recommended this site to my family.
I ordered the beige velvet trim for my husband and I. Very plush, washes well and a bargain in my book.
The products arrived on time.My daughter and I got these bathrobes;beige and green velvet collar. The colors are really beautiful.We are in love with our bathrobes and wrap ourselves in pure comfort after a hot bath.Warm , heavy and absorbent, and are really soft after washing,they dry easily. Highly recommend them.

Do has had enough by theX-plotionWatch
©2014-2016 theX-plotion
As Gir once said.
"I have no idea."
I personally loved the fact that Daring Do is real. {Heck, I was even planning to write stories about that fact and now my headcanon is real...YES!}
Lovely artpiece.
Picky fans. They exist. tsktsk.
Such Daring Exsoression XD
Well what about some of tv's most riveting series that have all those 'The story you were just told is true. The names were changed to protect the innocent' disclaimers? Maybe they were going with that angle?
Are you venting because Daring Do was real in "Daring Don't"?
more like venting over the fans overreaction to the fact she was real.
When you seal the deal with Ahuizotl.
Yes! Vent!
That's usually the case when a series goes for something more appealing to masses than what made it popular in the first place, spectacle, memes, fandom nods and references as opposed to meaningful lessons, memorable episodes and top-notch writing. When you enter the realm of teenager entertainment, and have to consider them on top of your already-existing audience, you've gotta add in elements to keep them hooked in, and that's what the shift in direction has given us, for better and worse.
It's different, but at least they improved from S3 by actually giving us what we'd like to see as opposed to random episodes that have no reason to exist, yet are broken as hell.

I am a little surprised at the pessimism. Though, season 4 really has been distinctive. I wouldn't call it a bad thing though. More of the characters I love, in gorgeous hd. It is hard to complain.
The feeling is mutual, Daring Do. What's with the fandom this season?
That expression is just priceless xD Great portrait!

Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs) vs. Google AdWords
What, exactly, is a demand-side platform (DSP)? Isn't it similar to AdWords? If you're one of the many marketers who are still unclear about what DSPs are and how they're different from AdWords, Ratko Vidakovic, director of marketing at SiteScout (which, it should be noted, is a DSP), is here to clarify things once and for all, in a helpful post on Marketing Land. He uses these points of differentiation:

As many as 766,000 healthcare and related jobs could be lost by 2021 as a result of the 2% reduction in Medicare spending mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011, according to a report released by the American Hospital Association, American Medical Association and American Nurses Association.
The report, produced by Tripp Umbach, a firm that specializes in conducting economic impact studies, measures the anticipated effects of these cuts in Medicare payments on healthcare providers and other industries. The model reflects how reductions in Medicare payment for healthcare services will lead to direct job losses in the healthcare sector; reduced purchases by healthcare entities of goods and services from other businesses, which in turn will lay off workers; and reduced household purchases by workers who lose their jobs.
An estimated 496,000 jobs will be lost during the first year of the automatic cuts, which are scheduled to start in 2013. As the impact ripples through the economy, jobs will be lost across many sectors beyond healthcare, according to the report.
"Hospitals ability to maintain the kind of access to services that their communities need is being threatened," AHA President and CEO Rich Umbdenstock said in a news release. "Cuts to hospital services could create devastating job losses in communities where hospitals have long been an economic mainstay."
The report did not seek to quantify the impact of the projected job losses on care quality and access, but the effect could be profound.
"Nurses have always strived to put patients at the center of a healthcare system that emphasizes prevention, wellness and coordination of care — the kinds of services that experts agree are essential to not only improving the health status of patients, but also lowering overall healthcare costs," said Cindy R. Balkstra, RN, MS, CNS-BC, ANA first vice president. "Cutting Medicare spending in a way that eliminates healthcare jobs is an extremely short-sighted way to contain the high cost of healthcare."
According to the agreement reached last year to raise the federal debt limit, Medicare and defense spending must be reduced. The Medicare cuts, which will be in effect from 2013 through 2021, would be in the form of reductions to provider payments. People enrolled in Medicare would not lose any amount of benefits.
A PDF of the report is available: www.aha.org/jobs.

"Le Cinque Terre" Top 5 Page for this destination Liguria by rubbersoul75
Liguria Travel Guide: 2,802 reviews and 8,262 photos
The "5 lands" and spectacular walks between them are hard to beat and most likely anyone that has been here will rave about their experience.
I guess there is a negative to the 5 terre which ironically is tourism, with more and more visitors it seems every year. I personally haven't seen the towns overcrowded with tourists and tacky souvenir stands, but I've heard/read that this is a problem at peak season.
The good news is that the entire area is a National Park and the natural resources on land and sea are protected; development is strictly controlled.
Liguria and The Cinque Terre are on the North West coast of Italy; they boarder and are an easy visit from Tuscany.
These remote towns each have their own feel as they developed somewhat independently hundreds of years ago. The waters below were often patrolled by pirates, occasionally sacking the towns. The towns survived mostly on the industries of fishing and grapes/wine, and more recently survive on tourism.
What to do? Walk the car free villages taking in the atmosphere, grab some seafood at a restaurant, and certainly walk the paths connecting them. Some of the walks are easy, others quite challenging. A regular train also conveniently links all the towns. See my separate tips on walking, the train, and parking a car.
(Another great way to see and travel between the towns is by boat. Have'nt done it yet but we hope to this spring).
A Friday morning in April 05 we checked out of our Hotel near Pisa, I decided to check my e-mail at the hotel computer before our drive home to Germany. In my in-box was a job offer to come work in Italy. Later that morning we stopped in the Cinque Terre, our experience enhanced with the thoughts of moving to bel' Italia.
A return visit March 06 confirmed that this is one of our favorite spots anywhere.
- Pros:sea, view, walks,
- Cons:I'm scratching my head.. troppo turismo?

This paved playground is small, with some swings, a slide, and a climbong device. But it was a nice place for the kids... more travel advice

great page!
Grazie, Jon! Yes, Manarola is my favorite place to stay, but the high path between Manarola and Corniglia was literally and figuratively the high point! I could have cried from the beauty surrounding us. Must return and spend more time.
Cinque Terre is one of those areas in Italy I'm eager to visit. After reading your informative tips and watching your lovely pics I want to go right away.
Beautiful little girls, lovely photos and wonderful tip about the monestery near La Spezia. I have saved it for future use. Thank you.
Where to begin, Jon & Teresa? Your 5Terre tips and photos are great. Your little girls are beautiful. It's great to see you taking them traveling and I am jealous of your living in Italy! Thanks! Rex
Funny you mentioned Rick Steves because I was thinking how proud he'd be to use your photos for his brochures. :) And your coastal views are certainly Monet-worthy.
Very nice pictures. I wish I went to Cinque de Terre when I was in Italy. It's time to save money. :).
Thank you for the wonderful photos and tips. I have dreamed of going to Cinque de Terre for a long time. Hopefully soon...
came back for your best fotos of the villages. They are indeed first class. thanks for sharing.
lovely page, you make me homesick for Manarola (my favorite of the 5)

guerilla pruning? brilliant!
I'm more concerned about the recent rezoning of Stone Way for Strip Clubs, thanks.
I no longer feel safe walking around Wallingford at night while carrying potted plants. We need a "Take Back the Foliage" neighborhood event.
Fucking Seattle.
I love this city but not all of it's residents.
So let me get this straight. When the cops are not busy planting drugs on people we need them to train their attention on shrubs being cleared from walkways in white a neighborhood?
Wow. Increased patrols huh?
WHAT? So what if the plants hang over on public property, "creepy" pruning or not? If I have a yard and the neighbor's tree hangs over into my yard, I am allowed to prune what is in my airspace, even if it hurts the neighbor's aesthetic sensibilities. To bad, so sad, that's the way it is. BFD if bushes are cut back to make room on public sidewalks. The homeowner should be doing that already on their own.
Is the pruning taking place in yards? If so, then that would seem like vandalism, so the police would naturally be involved.
#4 What do you have against white people?
Considering the Rainier Valley has an arsonist(or two) targeting occupied homes, Wallingford needs to STFU about their creepy pruners*.
*good name for a band though
One day it's just trimming the bush a little, and the next thing you know it's all bare.
I have to say I live in Wallingford and I have yet to see one of these signs "plastered" all over the place.
They smell like baloney. Other than that, they're pretty sweet when they're not busy diverting the attentions of our expensive police apparatus toward the perilous evils of DIY public gardening.
While we're at it, let's find out who's writing "Wash Me" in the dirt on the windshields of all the vehicles in the Phinney Ridge area.
vegetable lasagna is o'so good..mmm
Hey, if somebody wants to come by and give my rhode a waxing, that'd be fine.
TYVM Shelbis.
Speaking of double-entendres, I saw a "Vegetarians Taste Better" bumper stick on a post on Sunday. Do vegetarians put these on their cars hoping for a little action or are they for environment-chewing Hummer drivers? I mean, if I put one on my car, is some cattle rancher from E.WA going to run up and gnaw on my arm when I get out?
After practically having to walk in traffic on 15th yesterday, thanks to some dimwit who has let his/her shrubbery take over the sidewalk, I'm definitely on the side of the creepy pruner.
Anyone who feels the need to take some action with respect to my knotty pine should feel empowered to do so. For those 3 or 4 fans of 'Zoo', however, please leave my dogwood alone.
Sorry, the cops are too busy picking on innocent weeds.
@13 - actually, they do. IMHO.
@16, if I call 911 and say 'help, someone's attacking my peonies', will they show up?
Cattle ranchers in E WA don't eat anything vegetarian...
Considering the guerrilla pruning, guerrilla calls for car-washing and the guerrilla parking enforcement in the Phinney/Wallingford corridor, I've seriously considered packing up and moving to 26th and Jackson. Aging hippies with a warped sense of entitlement are really bringing me down.

Click "Post" once, asswipe.
I'm not the Wallingford pruner, but I've done some guerilla pruning of my own. City code says you're supposed to keep sidewalks clear to at least 6' (maybe 8'). I generally vent my wrath most on: plants that have taken over half the width of the sidewalk; trees with branches at face level; plants with thorns (egad, do these people ever use their own sidewalks?).
when i creepy prune (or creep & prune) i always do a good job aesthetically. a little surgical cut, and no more ducking under branches.
some people are just lazy. some are ignorant of proper pruning. some are really really old. or dead.
now, my new zealand flax has been creepy pruned - and they did a REALLY BAD JOB. admittedly, it could have poked someone's eye out...
The story goes beyond over-grown bushes. It's random tree branches, leaves, etc. If you drive by 39th and Burke, there is a sign hanging from a tree regarding the issue. Many think it's a person posing as a "dog walker". Who really knows? but hey I've had neighbors knock on the door and tell me to move my car cause it was parked on the wrong side of the street, in FRONT of their house of all things. Wally World!
Just a random nightly botanical briss.
Looks just like daddies yard.
Wait a minute. Isn't this how the storyline in Hot Fuzz started?
i imagine Edward Scissorhands as the culprit.
If that kids not working at Rudy's, I'd be shocked.
The world is falling apart but atl east the cops are making sure the sidewalks are blocked.
It doesn't have the bite of a creepy midnight pruner, but they did move a large house from 41st and Corliss down a zig zag path to a barge on the lake a couple of weeks ago. They were pruning like mad, and it's not very pretty.
You're not kidding about how kooky they get here about parking. I parked in a new spot in front of the neighborwhodoesnotsayhello's house and got a window broken and my gas syphoned over the next 2 nights. Coincidence?
A beautiful little ornamental plum tree, not hanging onto anyone's property or offending anyone in any way, was pruned so badly in the night in almost died, last year.
This tree was planted in honor of its owner's mom, who had died the year before and whose ashes are mixed with the soil at its roots.
I know the city has many urgent problems for the police to deal with, however, the truth is there is a cruel and creepy weirdness at work here that causes grief for those of us who love our little plants.

Anadarko Says BP Should Pay After Being Reckless
Anadarko Petroleum Corp., the Texas oil company that owns 25 percent of the damaged well pouring crude into the Gulf of Mexico, said BP Plc, the project's operator, should pay the costs from the spill because it acted recklessly and unsafely at the drilling site.
BP didn't monitor or react to warning signs as the Macondo well was drilled, Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett said yesterday in a statement. BP is responsible for damages under such conditions, Anadarko said.
"BP's behavior and actions likely represent gross negligence or willful misconduct and thus affect the obligations of the parties under the operating agreement," Hackett said in the statement.
BP said in a statement that it "strongly disagrees" with Anadarko's position. Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward said his company expects other parties that may have responsibility for costs and liabilities to meet their obligations.
"These allegations will neither distract the company's focus on stopping the leak nor alter our commitment to restore the Gulf Coast," Hayward said in yesterday's statement.
Dudley Appointed
The well is gushing as much as 60,000 barrels of oil a day, according to a government estimate. The leak was triggered by an April 20 explosion at a drilling rig leased to BP by Transocean Ltd. Costs of the spill may climb to as much as $50.8 billion if the well is capped at the end of August, according to a June 16 research note from ClearView Energy Partners LLC, a Washington- based policy analysis firm.
BP appointed Robert Dudley, a U.S. citizen, to take charge of cleanup operations related to the spill in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this month. Hayward will remain in charge of the company. Hayward has shown strong leadership "from the very beginning" of the disaster, Dudley said in an interview yesterday at BP's Washington office.
BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg told Sky News yesterday that Hayward was no longer controlling the day-to-day operations of the cleanup.
Anadarko by yesterday's market close had plunged 42 percent in New York trading since April 20.
Partners' Accountability
BP's partners should be held accountable and should set aside money to pay their share, U.S. Representative Edward Markey said yesterday in an interview for Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital With Al Hunt."
BP has announced plans to eliminate its dividend for three quarters, raise $10 billion from asset sales and put $20 billion into a fund to pay claims related to the spill.
Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., which is 70 percent-owned by Japan's second-biggest trading house, Mitsui & Co., has a 10 percent stake in the well. BP owns 65 percent.
"With regard to the issue of the escrow account, drawing an immediate conclusion about the underlying matters at hand would be premature," a Mitsui Oil Exploration subsidiary said in a statement.
Co-owners of the project entered into a written agreement that BP would act as the operator and all parties would share the costs based on their ownership interests, including expenses to clean up any spill resulting from drilling, BP said in its statement.
1 Billion Barrels?
The ruptured well may hold as much as 1 billion barrels, the Times reported, citing Rick Mueller, an analyst at Energy Security Analysis in Massachusetts. BP previously estimated the field contained 50 million to 100 million barrels of oil, the U.K. newspaper said.
The Wall Street Journal reported BP used a well design that has been called "risky" by Congressional investigators in more than one out of three of its deepwater wells in the Gulf of Mexico, according to an analysis of federal data. The design was used in the well that exploded, the paper said.
The co-owners also filed documents with the U.S. government certifying that each would be "jointly and severally liable" along with any other responsible parties for oil spill removal costs and damages in accordance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, according to BP's statement.
Anadarko will consider what its remedies may be, John Christiansen, an Anadarko spokesman, said yesterday in an interview. Those options may include not paying BP's bills or litigation. Anadarko previously said it was reviewing an invoice from BP on spill costs.
Hackett said that Anadarko recognizes it has "obligations under federal law related to the oil spill but will look to BP to continue to pay all legitimate claims as they have repeatedly stated that they will do."
Increased Risk?
Also yesterday, Moody's Investors Service said it downgraded Anadarko's long-term debt rating to non-investment grade, dropping it to Ba1 from Baa3, with further reductions possible.
Hackett, in a telephone interview yesterday, called the decision by Moody's "premature and unwarranted." He said Anadarko has a "strong financial position."
U.S. Representatives Henry Waxman of California and Bart Stupak of Michigan said in a June 14 letter to BP that "time after time, it appears that BP made decisions that increased the risk of a blowout to save the company time or expense."
If that happened, the lawmakers said, "BP's carelessness and complacency have inflicted a heavy toll on the Gulf, its inhabitants, and the workers on the rig."
In a televised address June 15, President Barack Obama vowed he would make BP set aside however much is needed to "compensate the workers and business owners who have been harmed as a result of his company's recklessness."
'Chief Villain'
The extent to which BP is seen as "the chief villain of the entire world helps Anadarko," said Jeff Rensberger, a professor at the South Texas College of Law. A finding of negligence requires a determination that a party to a contract did something a reasonable person wouldn't while gross negligence shows more recklessness, he said.
Even if BP is at fault, Rensberger said, Anadarko might still be liable if it's determined that abnormally hazardous activities occurred at a project in which the company has an interest.
Anadarko also said yesterday that it will donate to Gulf Coast charities or civic agencies any revenue it is entitled to receive from oil recovered in cleanup efforts.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
For a specialty vid, DDB2 adds nothing to the genre; in fact it seems like the director chose to ignore its requisite elements altogether. Oh, there's boobs a'plenty - but it's garden-variety sex that drives this offering, not bouncing cleavage. Jug fetish notwithstanding, good sex is still good sex.
Viewers who expect to cum have come to expect a satisfying degree of chemistry oozing from many of these performers. They won't be disappointed with the sizzling couplings populated by Kassin/Stone; Lawrence/Ashley; and especially Rosen/Brat. (The latter encounter takes a back door to the garden with hot booty plugging.)
Worth noting is an interracial threeway with Venus/O'Lovely/Weed; plus the climactic POV hand job that Kianna issues to Mark Wood. It's not the hottest five-fingered fuck ever committed to video - but her natural boobs are damned quintessential to the genre.
Retailing: Step it up with the interracial/anal angle.

The man, identified only by his family name of Wang, married
his wife in 2008 and had a son two years later, the Beijing
Times reported, in a story widely picked up by other Chinese
media outlets online, including Xinhua news agency.
But their son developed serious health problems because of
Beijing's air pollution and his wife took the son to the
southern resort island of Hainan to escape the haze.
However, Wang's wife did not like Hainan and nor did she like
living apart from him, and whenever the two of them met they
fought, the report said.
Fed up with this, Wang has filed for divorce in a Beijing
court, the newspaper said.
"Smog 'buried' my son's health, and it has 'buried' my
marriage," he was quoted as saying.
The divorce case is pending with the court, the report added.
It did not say what his wife thought of the divorce proposal.
Years of unfettered economic growth have taken their toll on
China's environment and pollution is a major source of public
dissatisfaction and unrest, especially smog in major cities.
The government has said tackling pollution is a top priority,
but has made little impact on the smog that blights the lives
of millions.

Carlton ML and the over for me. GL everyone
This is one mighty fine looking team!!! Keep it up Carlton!
Got a bad feeling we are gonna get screwed on the over here. Carlton kicking it around like they are up by a goal with 3 minutes to go in the grand final.
Yeah we're hooped on the total barring a miracle. Looks like a wash for me at 365 and a +0.5x at Sporting thanks to that 2H bet. What are the chances we see another Arizona trip announced this week?
I should've played that damn Carlton ML at Sporting. Didn't realise until a few minutes ago that they have a promo if you play the ML in April and your team wins by more than 30pts, they'll give you a 20% bonus. I at least could've made $20 off that instead of eating a bit of juice.
If I was a sharper gambler, I'd be laying down some big bucks to make extra money this weekend from Sportingbet with that promo. Even if you just take Essendon and especially West Coast, you're still making what amounts to free money, even with the ML. Especially since some books are refusing to offer the West Coast/GWS ML because they're sick of getting hosed on people fading GWS.
Melbourne's horrific. Brissy isn't good. But I need to look at the lines.
I'm still stuck on this stupid promo from Sporting.
Sydney frightens me but anyone who's been around here for 2yrs+ knows I'll say the same thing every 2nd game. F'n team f's me every which way whether I fade or back.
Coochy dont bury us man
Lets get some winners
& Proud

Cthulhu is a horrific and terrifying cosmic entity that shows up in some of H.P. Lovecraft's science fiction novels. We're just speculating here, but it would seem that a hideous, tentacle-faced monster like Cthulhu could have some seriously nasty breath. Perhaps if he just had a tin of these mints he might have a more positive attitude? Each 2-1/4" round tin contains about one hundred mints.
