Brazil Bonds Lose 'Juice' as Stocks Lure More Funds
Brazilian bonds face the lowest demand since January relative to stocks as dollar debt yields lag behind returns on corporate profits for the first time in more than a year.
"There's not a lot of juice there, so investors are looking for opportunities in other markets," said David Spegel, the New York-based head of emerging-market debt strategy at ING Groep NV. "Investors are going into stocks because they're more attracted by the companies' growth prospects and earnings."
Global funds invested a net $429 million in Brazilian local and international bonds in July, 39 percent of the $1.11 billion poured into stocks, according to research firm EPFR Global. Brazilian equity earnings yields rose to 6.7 percent today, 142 basis points, or 1.42 percentage points, above the average yield for the country's dollar bonds, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Stocks began offering a higher payout in mid-April, reversing a 13-month-long trend.
International bonds are losing favor after a three-month rally drove yields to a record low and a quickening economic expansion bolstered the outlook for corporate profits. Brazil's dollar bonds gained 3.4 percent in July, compared with an 11 percent advance in the Bovespa stock index, the gauge's biggest monthly increase since May 2009. Local bonds returned 4.4 percent in dollar terms, JPMorgan's GBI-EM Global Diversified index shows.
Rate Outlook
Stocks are surging as the central bank reduces the pace of interest-rate increases, boosting the outlook for retailers and banks that depend on credit demand. Policy makers led by bank President Henrique Meirelles raised the benchmark overnight rate by 50 basis points to 10.75 percent at their July 21 meeting, surprising 48 of 51 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg who expected a third straight increase of 75 basis points.
Latin America's largest economy will grow 7.2 percent this year, according to a central bank survey of 100 economists published July 26.
Investors are also paring holdings of Brazilian bonds on optimism the global economic recovery is strengthening and European countries are moving to reduce budget deficits. Average yields on Brazilian dollar securities tumbled 67 basis points this year to an all-time low of 5.27 percent as of Aug. 4 as rates on U.S. Treasury debt, the benchmark for emerging-market borrowing costs, plunged, according to JPMorgan's EMBI+ index. Yields were at 5.28 percent yesterday.
"The perceived risk is falling fairly dramatically and investors are trying to get more risk and higher yields," said John Ditieri, who helps oversee about $13.5 billion in emerging- market equities at Arlington, Virginia-based Emerging Markets Management. "That's hard to find in the fixed-income space."
Yield Spread
The extra yield investors demand to hold Brazilian dollar bonds instead of U.S. Treasuries narrowed three basis points to 202 at 5:30 p.m. in New York, according to JPMorgan.
The cost of protecting against a default on Brazilian debt for five years through credit-default swaps fell one basis point to 114, according to data compiled by CMA DataVision. Credit-default swaps pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent should a government or company fail to adhere to its debt agreements.
The real fell 0.5 percent to 1.7609 per dollar.
Yields on the interest-rate futures contract due in January fell two basis points to 10.78 percent.
The 2.1 percentage-point advantage of Brazilian earnings over dollar bonds in May marked the biggest gap since December 2008. The earnings yield is the income relative to the company's share price. Stocks of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index offer a profit return of 6.6 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
While Brazilian stocks outperformed bonds in July, debt is beating equities for the year. The dollar bonds have gained 9.9 percent while the local debt returned 7.9 percent. The Bovespa has lost 0.7 percent. Global funds invested $3.8 billion in Brazilian bonds this year, almost five times the $774 million that has gone into equities, according to Cambridge, Massachusetts-based EPFR.
"The yields of the Brazilian debt market are still attractive for some investors," said Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. in New York. "It's a combination of high interest rates and a steady currency."
'Strong and Sustainable'
Brazilian companies' second-quarter revenue surprised analysts, with sales exceeding estimates by 22 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Osasco-based Banco Bradesco SA, Brazil's second-biggest bank by market value, said second-quarter profit increased 23 percent to 2.46 billion reais ($1.4 billion), beating the mean estimate of 2.26 billion reais in a Bloomberg survey of four analysts.
"The trend of money flowing into equity should continue," said Fabio Mele Dall'Acqua, who oversees $500 million as managing partner at Constellation Asset Management in Sao Paulo. "It took a couple of quarters of earnings to understand that the case of Brazil is strong and sustainable."

I have a simple problem that I have not been able to find an answer to despite much Googling. Perhaps posting this question up will help the next poor soul who looks for the same answer.
I have a query that returns a collection of distinct ID's.
I am creating an
SQLCommand with this query and using
ExecuteScalar( ) to run it.
ExecuteScalar( ) appears to return an object and will not allow me to cast it to List.
What is the best practice to fix this and how can I fix this problem?

Can I use Google Maps as a layer in ArcMap?
Is it possible?
Can I use Google Maps as a layer in ArcMap?
Is it possible?
Yes. ArcBruTile - Tile Services in ArcGIS Desktop
Update: looks like references to Google have been removed from the ArcBruTile site, likely because, as commenters point out, what they're doing violates the Google Maps ToS.
Direct tile access is not allowed by Google (and this is what ArcBruTile is doing). Usually this will get your IP address banned for awhile but they could also come after you for violating their TOS.
fwiw, Arc2Earth will be adding support for this functionality in the next build. Instead of needing a Google Maps Premium license, you can purchase access at the individual user level (much, much cheaper). Yes, you'll have to pay a yearly price for it but it will be the only legal method for accessing Google data from ArcMap
Arc2Earth Data Services is exactly what you need, more info here and here

Two issues in with its new creative teams, âDetective Comicsâ is probably the best looking superhero book available. 22 pages of J.H. Williams III and eight pages of Cully Hamner held together by Greg Ruckaâs writing make for a gorgeous book with some solid writing. While Rucka is the common denominator over the lead story starring Batwoman and the âco-featureâ starring the Question, the art dominates this book.
In the lead feature, Williams is beyond words. I am not sure the proper descriptors exist to properly sum up what he, along with Dave Stewart, does. But, Iâll give it a shot. Like some of the best cartoonists in comics, Williams crafts exquisitely designed pages that function both as a large work of art but also function almost perfectly on a panel-to-panel basis. Many artists focus on doing one or the other, but to illustrate lavish pages that need little context to appreciate and tell the story with clarity at the same time? Well, Williams may just be the best artist working in superhero comics today.
The preview pages only provide the barest of glimpses into his work in this issue as plot events cause Williams to change styles mid-page -â mid-panel even! He uses panels within panels to highlight details, different styles to suggest different levels of consciousness, and a variety of page designs that suit the material. Heâs so good that the actual plot almost gets in the way.
Thankfully, Rucka crafts an entertaining story that keeps up with Williams, although canât match him. Batwoman confronts the new leader of the Religion of Crime, the cult that tried to kill her and cut out her heart, and things go awry when the new leader turns out to be an almost certainly insane woman who thinks sheâs Alice Liddell from Lewis Carrollâs two famous books. Not much actually happens in this issue, but Rucka and Williams work to further establish how Batwoman acts as a vigilante, and even throw in a nice callback to last issue.
If that werenât enough, the Question âco-featureâ continues its serial detective fiction plot with Renee Montoya trying to find a missing girl for her brother. Like the pulp stories that Rucka and Hamner are no doubt drawing upon, thereâs lot of action and banter in this short chapter. Hamner is a different sort of artist than Williams, but his style is suited quite well to Ruckaâs story. Heâs one of the best action artists there is and he puts those skills on display here. Again, the writing doesnât rise to the level of the art, but itâs very entertaining, and is suited to a comic titled âDetective Comics.â
Youâre not likely to find a better looking superhero comic on the stands than âDetective Comicsâ #855 with J.H. Williams III and Cully Hamner delivering career-best work in already stunning careers. That is, until issue 856 comes out next month.

Tip of the Day
Should You Go Raw?
Published: 11/1/2012
Learn More:
Do You Need Shark Liver Oil?
Supplements & Herbs
Raw food diets are promoted in dozens of sites on the internet, with proponents claiming all manner of health benefits. Their reasoning is typically that raw foods contain vital enzymes that would be destroyed by cooking.
But the fact is that enzymes are irrelevant to human nutrition. The reason: stomach acid destroys them just as cooking does. Also, certain nutrients in cooked food are actually more available to the body - it is well established, for example, that one can get more carotenoids from cooked carrots than from raw ones. Finally, cooking destroys natural toxins that are present in a variety of plant foods, such as carcinogens in common white "button" mushrooms.
I believe the evidence is clear that cooking is essential. Evolutionary biologists tell us that heating food is actually one of the key processes that allowed primates to become human. Our relatively large brains got that way because a few pioneering hominids figured out how to free extra nutrients from food by heating it over a flame.
Bottom line: raw foods can, and should, be part of a healthy diet, but I do not believe a 100 percent raw food diet is optimal. On the other hand, overcooking does food no favors either; it can deplete nutrients and make it unpalatable as well. I am a great fan of steaming and gentle baking as simple and easily controllable ways to make your food both healthy and delicious.

Banner weeks ahead for Wisconsin books, including the Scott Walker vs. unions faceoff
In the next few weeks, a bounty of nonfiction books by Wisconsin writers will be published, including an account by two Journal Sentinel reporters of the kerfuffle that began in Madison in March 2011, when Gov. Scott Walker and public employe unions battled over changes in state law that ultimately scuttled public employee bargaining rights.
"More than They Bargained For: Scott Walker, Unions, and the Fight for Wisconsin," by Jason Stein and Patrick Marley, will go on sale circa March 22 at local bookstores and online book vendors. Published by the University of Wisconsin Press, "More Than They Bargained For" offers a detailed play-by-play account of the Madison drama, including the Capitol occupation by protestors and the runaway Democratic legislators. Stein and Marley, who work out of the Journal Sentinel's Madison bureau, have added fresh reporting and interviewing to the work they did on the spot. The reporters will have a book launch event 7 p.m. March 26 at Boswell Book Co., 2559 N. Downer Ave. »Read Full Blog Post(14)

Z3200 Banding
Whenever I print an image with a smooth greytone gradient in it, I get banding across the gradient. I have tried printing 8-bit jpegs and 16-bit tiffs, but this makes no difference. The images look fine on screen, the problem only occurs when they are printed on the Z3200. I am using printer profiles created by the printer.
Any ideas out there?
Re: Z3200 Banding
Try printing the image diagnostic page.
That will tell you if there is a printhead problem and what printhead.
To print it at the printer panel go to:
- Image Quality Maintenance
- Print Diagnostic Page
If the diagnostic page show a printhead problem with a lint free cloth damp with water clean the electrical contacts on the printheads and the carriage. Then print the diagnostic page again to see if the problem is fixed or any improvement.
Also, try doing a printhead cleaning (also under Image Quality Maintenance).
If the printhead problem persist after the cleaning, check the warranty of the printhead. If it is in warranty contact HP to have it replace under warranty.
If the problem is paper advance :
- Perform a paper advance calibration (also under Image Quality Maintenance)
- Use another paper preset
- Use another roll of paper
If you could, share the diagnostic page, sample of the issue and the configuration pages if the above do not fix your problem.

Re: Z3200 Banding
I've done a full printhead clean, and printed a diagnostic page, which looks fine. I've also tried printing with a different paper preset, but the problem is still there.
When I print a grey gradient - eg a darkened edge vignette on a black and white print, instead of the greys changing smoothly from light to dark, there are abrupt changes from one grey tone to another - a bit like posterisation.
I suspect that this could be a problem with the printer profile, but I am using one made by the printer.
Re: Z3200 Banding
Can you please check on our printer if you have any demos? If you have a PS model, you should.
And print the B & W demo
If you get the same results what you have is a starvation issue, sometimes this is hard to detect on the diagnostic page.
If you have a starvation problem the most common cause are the printheads.
here are other posible cause:
- Electrical problem
- Printhead. The printhead stops firing ink
- Dirty Flex Contacts on the carriage
- A electrical problem with the Carriage PCA, Trailing Cable, Main PCA
- An ink flow problem
- Printhead. The printhead stops firing ink
- Ink cartridges does not supply ink to the tubes
- ISS not pumping ink from the cartridges
- Ink tubes damage
I hope this helps to sort the problem.
Best regards

This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Belair Sorrento
Would definitely stay here again!!!
Stayed here in August for 3 nights. After a lot of hassle with the car rental company when we arrived (in the airport at Rome) we had a long drive down to Sorrento late at night. We reached the Belair after 1am, tired and grumpy, but were very pleasantly surprised when we opened the balcony doors and saw the beautiful view over the Bay of Naples.
The room itself was minimalist but large and very clean. Funny green tiles in the bathroom but again it was kept very clean. The hotel is built into the side of the cliff overlooking Sorrento so there is no traffic noise because all the rooms are set below road level and also they are all on the seaward side. I think this was a big advantage compared to somewhere like the Bristol (across the road) which would have had all the traffic noise passing by the sea view windows. Those noisy backfiring mopeds are on the roads all night long.
Parking was free on the roof of the hotel (which was at road level). Free parking is a big advantage because you have to pay about 3 or 4 euro an hour for parking down in Sorrento and this hotel is only a 5-10 minute walk up the hill from the town.
Breakfast was very plain and not very exciting. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pool was lovely and clean but lost sun during the afternoon as Sorrento is on the north of the peninsula. Anyway, there is so much to do in the area that you don't really want to sit out all day long. Having also stayed on the sunny south of the peninsula (in Praiano) there is definitely an advantage in being on the north side as it means you can sit out on your balcony without frying.
I was just sorry we couldn't stay for longer at this hotel as I think it has the nicest aspect in Sorrento. It is 10 min walk from the town so not too busy, and high up so it has the best views. By being bult in to the cliff it does not suffer from traffic noise like some of the other hotels.
By the way, if you are thinking of visiting Pompeii, the station for the Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii is in the centre of Sorrento and leaves you out at the gates to the Pompeii ruins. Far cheaper to go this way than drive yourself as you won't have to pay big parking fees.
Blissfully relaxing
This hotel has spectacular views towards Naples and Mount Vesuvius, but does not have to rely on these as its main selling point.
From the coast road, the hotel is almost invisible, with only the gate to the rooftop car park being visible to passing motorists. Because the rooms are all located below the road, they are completely sheltered from all traffic noise, unlike other nearby and otherwise excellent hotels.
The views over the bay are perfectly framed by the flower pots which are placed on the walls of each room's balcony.
The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. The air-conditioning worked well.
The staff were helpful. The hotel pool was well used and clean, with good pool-side bar service.
Breakfast is adequate (like most Italian hotels, it's nothing to get excited about), and the Belair compares well to other Italian hotels.
The hotel is a five minute walk from the town, and can be used as a base to visit Pompeii using the Circumvesuviana railway, which stops in Sorrento. Local public transport also runs frequently to Naples and along the Amalfi coast - one of the advantages, or disadvantages, depending on your viewpoint, of local buses, is that they go up and down every valley and call to almost all of the local beauty spots and tourist attractions. A hydrofoil also runs from Sorrento to Capri.
This hotel is simply super.
A great honeymoon stay at the Belair
My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Belair for 4 nights in Sept 05.
Its a great place to stay when you're spending a few days in Sorrento. Located just a short stroll (10-15 mins to Piazza Tasso) up a gentle hill from the centre of Sorrento it offers that great compromise of convenience yet quiet location. When you arrive there appears to be no hotel as it clings to the cliffs below road level.
We were upgraded to the same junior suite as the previous reviewer on the bottom floor of the hotel (Room 310). Although the d�cor is a little tired the room was fine. The enormous balcony is magnificent offering simply breathtaking views of Sorrento and the Bay of Naples. All rooms have a bay view not all have such a great balcony. A good buffet breakfast is served with a number of tables on a balcony with the same spectacular view.
All hotel staff are really helpful and they're pretty geared up to brit tourists so if you plan to immerse yourself in Italian Culture this may not be the place for you (Thompson and Crystal Package holiday posters in reception)
Never made it into the pool, but it looked fine. The only slight downside is how early in the evening it closes - 5pm when we stayed. This is likely due to the aspect of the hotel the sun has gone behind the mountains by early evening.
All in all a great Sorrento Hotel
Great places to eat are: "Lanternadue" in the old town and "Zi'Ntonio Mare" in the confusingly named Marina Grande - they provide a free shuttle bus service. Would avoid Ristorante Sant' Antonino food was OK, but service was appauling and you can do so much better in Sorrento.
Absolute perfection
We stayed at the Belair by default - we had booked the Bristol Hotel but a week before leaving were told they were overbooked and had to transfer our reservation to their sister hotel, the Belair. What luck for us as the Belair is absolutely beautiful.
We were given a suite (room 310) which had an enormous balcony with 6 seater table, day bed and plants etc, which was bigger than some hotel rooms. Our room was serviced twice a day and nothing was too much trouble. In fact, I'm writing this in the hotel's library on the free internet service.
Breakfast was great, not just dry breadrolls, and dinner was great also. But the view has to be the best thing about this hotel. Total uninterrupted 180 degree views of Sorrento and beyond.
I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting luxury with a view.
Saved by the Belair
Was on my honeymoon and we booked Settimo Cielo next door. Well we went to our room and it was a dump. We were miserable and we decided we had to find another place to stay. Directly next door was the Belair. Lucky for us they had one double available for slghtly more than S.C. The room was a 5 star compared to the dump we were in. The room was decent size, a little balcony over the pool and looking out accross the bay. A short walk down the hill to town. Also don't miss Le Fenice a good and reasonably priced restaurant.
A view to die for
We stayed here for our honeymoon back in July of 2004 and can't think of a nicer place to have spent it.
The view from our balcony was stunning. overlooking the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius.
The staff were excellent and treated you like you were family (The Head Waiter and Bar waiter in particular). The food was delicious (a different selection every night of the week) and I can recommend the Biancolella wine (from Ischia) which we are still trying to find over here!!!
As someone has previously mentioned, we spoke to a lot of people who had been returning to the hotel for years. Always the sign of a quality place.
It is about a 10 minute walk from the centre of Sorrento but we quite liked this as it was nice to go for a wander in the evening and then return to the sanctuary of a nightcap in the bar on the balcony.
There is a fantastic restaurant in Sorrento called L'Antica Trattoria (I think). We had lunch and an evening meal here (twice!!). The place is full of locals and the food is out of this world. Again the service was superb.
Be wary if you go on an organised evening trip to Capri. Capri is a nice place (Ladies I wouldn't wear high heels if I were you. There is a lot of walking and a couple of steep hills) but returning late at night on nothing much more than a fishing boat in complete darkness seemed a bit dodgy. However this isn't a negative just something to remember (And it had nothing to do with the hotel).
Yes the Belair is quite expensive, but it is worth it for the view alone. Add to this a lovely hotel, great staff and excellent food and you have one of the best hotels I have been fortunate enough to stay in.
I look forward to going back!
An absolute dream
My friend Penny and I stayed here for three nights in 1999. We had a junior suite and couldn't believe our eyes when we entered. We were on the 3rd floor overlooking the pool and the Bay of Naples - incredible view. We spent a lot of time out on our balcony. I had driven down from Tuscany and was so glad to be in a hotel within easy walking distance of town. We took the tours to Pompeii and Capri - both first-class. I will never forget sitting out on the balcony outside the dining room one night after dinner - with a full moon shining over the Bay of Naples! Everything that Italy should be and is.
Spectacular views, excellent service
The best location in Sorrento in terms of views, only challenged by the Bristol and a handful of others along the Via Del Capo - but the Bel Air has the advantage of being on the "sea" side of the road, so the rooms have unobstructed bay views and total peace and quiet. Quiet, civilised, and absolutely delightful - not for your party animals.
We booked a junior suite, which was excellent, with quite a bit of extra space. A large and wonderfully shaded balcony with a view to die for topped it off.
Food was excellent, service very friendly, efficient and just the unobtrusive side of attentive (someone comes in to turn your bed down while you're having dinner - nice one!). The rest of the clientele seemed to have been visiting every year for decades, being greeted by name by the staff on arrival, which says a lot.
Heartily recommended - not cheap, but worth it. Would return anytime (now would be nice!)
A honeymoon destination
Stayed at the Hotel Belair for the first week of our honeymoon. The hotel clings to the cliff above Sorrento, and so offers unsurpassed views of the bay of Naples, Vesuvius and Sorrento itself.
The hotel drops BELOW road level, and with the rooms on the oposite side of the hotel to the road the rooms are very peaceful all day long.
It is a small and friendly hotel (with faint airs of an Agatha Christie novel about it!), with excellent food, good wine and friendly service.
Very difficult to fault.
The only bad points I can think of: 15-20 minute walk down the hill into Sorrento (if you want the night life) - mind you, for us this was a plus point as it meant the hotel was quieter. Swimming pool is fairly small and loses the sunshine later on. Mind you - it offers great views. TV is pretty poor for Brits (a choice of CNN or BBC World (both pretty much wall-to-wall news)).
3 VERY minor bad points for a hotel that we would definitely visit again
(PS the house Rose wine is gorgeous!)
Stunning views
Superb, small hotel, fine food ,friendly staff, stunning views across bay towards Vesuvius. Smallish pool loses sun late afternoon

I know this may be asked several times, but after lots of search I wasnt able to solve it.
I've got a domain.com, when I installed WP in that directory everything worked fine. Now I need to set up a /blog subdirectory (wich is already created) and I uploaded the whole wordpress folder there, with the same wp-config.php file.
If I go to mydomain/blog/wp-admin/install.php
I get that wordpress seems to be already installed, that I should erase my data base (?)
It's like style-less and I've got the access link, wich leads me to blog/wp-login.php (wich is also style-less), and no matter if I try to login or register I get the followin errors:
PHP Error Message

now what?

Celebrate the Benefits
Another secret to keeping weight off, experts say, is never to forget why you lost it in the first place.
"A great way to stay motivated is to keep a journal of the pros and cons of how you felt in mind, body, and spirit before the weight loss, and how you feel now at a healthier weight," says Fletcher.
This technique keeps the focus on the benefits of weight loss -- from improved health to more energy, from better sleep to a smaller clothing size.
"The 'masters' find ... vivid pictures in their minds of the pain or struggles they experienced when they were heavier -- such as the intimidation of not fitting into an airline seat -- and contrast that to how great their life is now," Fletcher says.
Baird has her clients reward themselves with tangible items that serve as constant reminders of their success.
"Buy yourself a paperweight or key chain or something that every time you see it, you feel a sense of accomplishment," she suggests.
3 Weight Control Strategies
When it comes to weight control, one size does not fit all. The experts who spoke to WebMD suggested three different diet strategies:
1. Make it personal.
"Over the years, I have become much more flexible about weight control guidelines," says Baird.
The best predictor of success is to do whatever works for you and let it become a part of your lifestyle -- as long as it is sensible, she says.
"A sensible plan allows you to enjoy your favorite foods and is not a starvation or crazy fad diet," Baird says. "Years ago, I would have never thought some dietary patterns could be successful, but my personal experience and failures, along with my clients', have taught me that sensible, personalized plans work best."
2. Balance protein, fats, and carbs.
Another school of thought from the research camp suggests a more defined pattern of nutrients. Having a little more protein and less fat can keep you feeling satisfied and thus help with weight control, some experts say.
"Our research has shown that the folks that control their weights best follow a pattern of 24% fat, 56% carbohydrates, and 20% protein," says Foreyt.

The Hobbit author J.R.R. Tolkien contributed two poems to a school magazine in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, back when he was an Oxford don. One is an early version of a poem that later appeared in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (pictured above), while the other is a Christmas poem, set in a landscape not unlike Middle…
We've seen a bunch of awesome The Force Awakens mashups already, but the next big thing seems to be Suicide Squad-styled trailers with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. First up? Lord of the Rings.
He doesn't have the power of Gandalf nor the snappy fashion sense of Saruman, but Radagast is a wizard with his own charms, which Canvas Cosplay has absolutely nailed here.
It's one thing to draw or paint a character you like, and another to model them in high definition—as Nimlot26's version of Éomer (his version of the Karl Urban version of Éomer) shows.
This is a pretty incredible find: a map of Middle Earth featuring annotations from its creator, J.R.R. Tolkien was recently discovered in a copy of a book owned by illustrator Pauline Baynes, which sheds some light on some of the inspiration behind it.
Last month, an event called Bitva o Fort went down. That's Battle of the Fort in English, and it saw hordes of Lord of the Rings fans converge on the village of Radíkov in the Czech Republic to recreate an epic battle between the forces of men, elves and some very well-dressed orcs.
Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd from Back to the Future, Stephen Merchant and Ellen McLain from Portal, Gary Oldman as the game's big bad and two different Chris Pratt performances—LEGO Dimensions' definitely got talent.
Just when I thought I was sick to death of seeing these kind of things, along comes a Tolkien tribute to blow my socks off.
Michał Kaźmierczak is the Lego super-builder responsible for the massive gates of Erebor build from The Hobbit. Well, he's now added an insanely-large Lego interior to the build. And it's incredibly cool.
Laura Sindall, a fabricator and sfx artist in the movie business, is also one heck of a Lord of the Rings cosplayer. Here's her Tauriel cosplay, with pics taken in the Black Forest near Pinewood Studios in England.
Everyone has those special film scenes that just give you chills, no matter how many times you see them. For me, one such scene takes place in the first film of the Lord of the Rings trilogy: The Fellowship of the Ring. Here's a video explaining why this one scene is so perfect.
The Game of the Year edition of 2014's Lord of the Rings game Shadow of Mordor comes out today. The game itself is excellent. Its DLC, on the other hand, is..less so. Read more about the game in the following articles.
A $50 "Game Of The Year" edition of Shadow of Mordor is coming out May 5th—as in, next week—for the Xbox One, PS4, and PC. No word on last-gen versions. If you haven't played Mordor yet, this is a good chance to get all its post-release goodies without having to pay extra for the crappy parts of its DLC.
The Bright Lord, Shadow of Mordor's new DLC campaign, promises an epic showdown with Lord of the Rings head honcho Sauron. It was designed in part to address a common fan complaint about the original game's anticlimactic ending. But while it does give players a chance to fight Sauron, I'd hardly call it an epic battle.
One of the few things that wasn't computer-generated in the recent Hobbit movies was all the sweet Middle Earth calligraphy, which was done by the same artist responsible for the most of the books (and maps) of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
Science fiction and fantasy are full of great quotable phrases — but some are damn near irresistible. No matter how hard you struggle, these phrases worm their way into your consciousness. No matter how much you deny it, you let them back out. Here's a list of 10 phrases too good not to repeat.
Osgiliath, capital of the Kingdom of Gondor, was the Kingdom's greatest city before it was eventually abandoned in the Third Age. Now, you can take a walk in Osgiliath, both in its glory days and beyond, courtesy of two fantastic Minecraft builds.
Just in case a four-hour version of an eight-hour trilogy was still too long for you, professional video editor David Killstein has now gone and made an even more drastic cut of Peter Jackson's overblown Hobbit adaptation.
Shadow of Mordor surprised everyone with its unique features like the oft-praised "nemesis system." The game's novelty and ambition meant that it couldn't accomplish everything it set out to, though. Developer Monolith opened up this week about some things that were left on the cutting room floor.

Is there an actor working today who conveys a more mythically American presence than Tommy Lee Jones? His endlessly fascinating face unites opposites in our national character, making him both suave and brutal, calculating and homespun. He's tough, but smart too (that Harvard education!), and while his characters generally play on the side of the angels, they don't hesitate to get their hands dirty. Like Clint Eastwood, Jones is an avatar of gunslinger American manliness. Sure, he's smiling, but you know what he could do to you if he let himself; and he knows you know. His steely, taunting grin hints at latent violence and a malicious pleasure in his own lethality.
In writer-director Paul Haggis's In the Valley of Elah, that confident grin is gone, replaced by a harrowed visage of loss. Jones plays a retired military policeman named Hank Deerfield, whose two sons worshiped him and followed him into the military, with grievous results. At the film's outset, Deerfield has already lost one to a helicopter training accident; and when he and his wife (Susan Sarandon) receive word their other son has gone AWOL while back from a tour of duty in Iraq, Deerfield drives out to a New Mexico Army base to untangle the mystery-which soon takes a gruesome turn when his son's body is discovered, hacked and burned beyond recognition, in a field near the base.
In the Valley of Elah is nominally a police procedural, with...

Ashwni Dhir's third directorial venture Son Of Sardar has been doing wonderful business collection at the Box Office. Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt and Sonakshi Sinha starrer has surpassed Rs 50 crore mark at the domestic collection centres in just four days. With this, the movie has broken the first weekend collection record of Ajay's previous release Bol Bachchan.
Son Of Sardar, which graced 2,000+ screens on November 13, opened to a fabulous response. The movie registered better occupancy in single screens across the country when compared to the footfalls in multiplexes. The movie raked in Rs 10.72 crore nett on the first day of its release. But it failed to beat the first day collection record of Bol Bachchan.
The remake of hit Telugu movie Maryada Ramanna showed a big jump in its business on Wednesday and its growth was more than 55% with its collection reaching Rs 16.21 crores nett. But its business dipped considerably on the following days that was due to busy working days for colleges and offices on Thursday and Friday. Son Of Sardar collected Rs 12.20 crores on the third day and Rs 13 crores on the fourth day.
However, Ajay Devgn's last movie Bol Bachchan had collected approximately Rs 40 crores in the first weekend. Whereas, his new release Son Of Sardar has raked in Rs 52.13 crores nett in four days. It has another two days to finish the first weekend. It will surely beat the first week collection record (Rs 67 crores) of Bol Bachchan in its first weekend.
Now the question is: Will it surpass Rs 100 crore mark in the opening weekend? Stay locked to this space to know about it.

This puts everything in perspective. Here's an image of today's X2.2-class solar flare, along with the Earth for scale. Image via NASA/Solar Dynamics Observatory
Here Are All the Different Ways the Sun Can Explode
Our sun may look relatively constant from our far away perch on Earth, but up close it's a busy place, full of plasma activity, shifting magnetic fields, and, yes, even explosions. Here are the different kinds of solar explosions you might see, and how to tell the difference between them.
These Giant Solar Flares Erupted From The Sun This Morning
This morning, astronomers observed an incredibly powerful x-class solar flare erupting from the sun, only to be surprised by what they saw happen just about an hour later: a second x-class flare.
Aurora Borealis during a solar flare is the very best kind of madness
This may be the most amazing shot of the northern lights, yet. Check out the way they're moving — that's no timelapse, this video was shot in realtime.
The Sun has been completely manic this week
It's been a remarkable week of solar activity. Astronomers recorded several coronal mass ejections this week, including three that are currently hitting the Earth's magnetic field. An exquisite image of one of this week's many flares can be seen below.
Cosmic Mystery: Why did this spinning star suddenly slow down?
Why would a spinning star suddenly slow down? Even after writing a scientific paper about the phenomenon, astronomers still appear to be in shock-and-awe mode about what they saw.
A Distant Planet Whose Atmosphere Was Blasted Away by Solar Flares
You might think our own sun is turbulent — but it turns out we've got it easy. Astronomers have found a gas giant, 60 light years away from Earth, that's been hit with a violent flare from its star, blasting it with an intense wave of X-ray radiation. Because the exoplanet is so close to its sun, the radiation causes…
A Crazy Close-up Video of the Sun's Latest Coronal Mass Ejections
The sun is at it again, this time blasting its second magnetic bubble of energetic plasma in as many days. The blast is heading towards Earth at a speed of 1,360 kilometers per second and is expected to arrive on June 16.
A huge coronal mass ejection slammed into Earth today
On Tuesday night, the surface of the Sun erupted in an violent solar flare, blasting a massive wave of charged particles in the direction of Earth. And early this morning, those particles smashed into our planet's atmosphere.
Killer solar flares are physically impossible, says NASA
Although we are ramping up to a high in solar activity, there's no reason to look at the sun with fear and horror. NASA has announced that a killer solar flare is a physical impossibility.
Witness a massive solar flare burst off the Sun
Earlier today, the Sun fired the biggest solar flare we've seen thus far in our current solar cycle. With an X-ray magnitude of X6.9, this flare was three times larger than the previous titleholder, a X2.2 from mid-February.
Scientists come up with completely opposite theories about why the sun is weakening
For the last few years the sun has been kicking back and relaxing. A lot. Although a huge solar flare recently made headlines, the surface of the sun has been quiet lately. Sunspots have been more scarce than they've been in the last 200 years. All solar activity is low. And it looks like it's going to stay that way…
Watch a monstrously prominent solar flare burst out of the Sun
It's been a busy months for solar flares. On Thursday, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory photographed this billowing plasma tower they've dubbed a "monster prominence." For 90 minutes, this flare twisted on the Sun's surface before collapsing and emitting material into space.
The Sun is changing the rate of radioactive decay, and breaking the rules of chemistry
The Sun is changing the supposedly constant rates of decay of radioactive elements, and we have absolutely no idea why. But an entirely unknown particle could be behind it. Plus, this discovery could help us predict deadly solar flares.
Can This Experiment Prevent Solar Flares From Destroying The World?
NASA recently launched a probe that's designed to do nothing but study the sun — and it's found new ways of helping scientists observe "violent solar events." Which could be useful for predicting mega-flares.

I'm trying to parse an XML document from the Google Directions API.
This is what I've got so far:
x = Nokogiri::XML(GoogleDirections.new("48170", "48104").xml)
x.xpath("//DirectionsResponse//route//leg//step").each do |q|
q.xpath("html_instructions").each do |h|
puts h.inner_html
The output looks like this:
Head south on Hidden Pond Dr toward Ironwood Ct
Turn right onto N Territorial Rd
Turn left onto Gotfredson Rd
I would like the output to be:
Turn right onto N Territorial Rd
The problem seems to be Nokogiri escaping the html within the xml
I trust Google, but I think it would be also good to sanitize it further to:
Turn right onto N Territorial Rd
But I can't (using sanitize perhaps) without the raw xml. Ideas?

Iraq War[citation needed]
Jason Thomas (born ca. 1974) is a United States Marine who located and rescued people in the aftermath of collapse of the World Trade Center in New York City after the September 11 attacks in 2001. With fellow U.S. Marine Dave Karnes, he helped find a pair of Port Authority Police officers buried in the rubble of the World Trade Center.
September 11, 2001[edit]
On September 11, 2001, Thomas was dropping his daughter off at the home of his mother on Long Island when she told him planes had struck the towers. The 27-year-old Thomas, having left active duty a year earlier, quickly put on his Marine uniform, sped to Manhattan and had just parked his car when one of the towers collapsed. Thomas ran toward the center of the ash cloud.[1]
Thomas told the Associated Press:
"Someone needed help. It didn't matter who," he said. "I didn't even have a plan. But I have all this training as a Marine, and all I could think was, 'My city is in need.'"[1]
Thomas ran into another former Marine, Staff Sgt. Dave Karnes. Thomas presented a plan for a search-and-rescue mission of the area, and he and Karnes tried to enlist other marines and soldiers on site to help. When they were told the mission was too dangerous, they decided to go by themselves. "I found a couple guys, but it wasn't enough, to them, to start a search and rescue," he said. "I remember myself and Karnes saying, 'We're going to start the search and rescue with or without you, because someone needs us.'"
Carrying little more than an infantryman's shovel, they climbed the mountain of debris, skirting dangerous crevasses and shards of red-hot metal, calling out, "Is anyone down there? United States Marines!" It was dark before they heard a response. Then they met an operating engineer, who had a flashlight, and crawled down into the hole where the 2 cops were trapped, and spoke with Will. Then the engineer climbed out, and went for help, and brought back the FDNY.
Thomas said he returned to Ground Zero every day to pitch in, before attempting to put the events behind him. He did not even tell his five children about his rescues. He had identified himself to Karnes and others only as "Sergeant Thomas".
Jason Thomas is now serving in the United States Air Force as a medical technician.
In popular culture[edit]
Thomas, an African American, was portrayed in Oliver Stone's feature film World Trade Center by white actor William Mapother. Stone has said he was not aware that Thomas was black until filming was already underway.
On February 11, 2007, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition aired a special two-hour episode about Thomas and his family. Following the attacks, Thomas and his wife had moved their four children from New York to Whitehall, Ohio. The house they bought began to deteriorate and the show intervened to help them.
On September 2, 2013, Channel 4 broadcast The Lost Hero of 9/11 [2] which detailed Thomas involvement in the rescue operation following the collapse of both towers.

Sometimes I think our "progress" just goes in circles, rather than straight ahead.
Check his last thought. Don't you guys have copy editors?
Progress yes. But there is still a hard core group who still want to erode it and return to what they consider good times. 1950 or maybe 1850.
I assume you're speaking of Sharpton and Jackson, Night-Gaunt49.
No matter how much progress is made, as long as there is a buck to be made the racism industry will never be gone. If the grievance crowd got everything they wanted today they would find something else to complain about tomorrow.
So,w e get a lawyer for free, to defend our crimes, but dang if we get an educaiton, job, or healthcare.

Aloud is an American, Boston-based indie rock band known for its songwriting and vocal prowess as well as using a two lead singer approach.[1][2][3][4]
Founded in 2002 by Jen de la Osa (lead vocals, guitar, keys) and Henry Beguiristain (lead vocals, guitar, keys), the group is rounded out by bassist/backing vocalist Charles Murphy and drummer Frank Hegyi. From 2006, Aloud released music under the Lemon Merchant Records label before signing with Mother West in 2013.
Aloud is currently on tour promoting their fourth studio album, It's Got To Be Now, recorded with producers Charles Newman and Benny Grotto
Formation and early years: 2002-2006[edit]
Aloud was formed in May 2002 by vocalists/guitarists Jen de la Osa and Henry Beguiristain out of an earlier version of the group named Feedback, which included bassist Roy Fontaine.[5] Rob Acevedo was recruited to play drums[6] for the fledgling band on an indefinite, but temporary basis. The four spent the summer working on a home-recorded four song demo titled Don't Trust the Radio, which was released on July 31, 2002[7] and sold at shows.
Aloud spent 2002 and most of 2003 performing solely in the Boston area. In early 2003, Aloud stepped into the studio to record another four song demo titled Pretty Little Picture. Rob Acevedo eventually was replaced by Eric Anderson on drums before Ross Lohr was taken on near the end of the year as a permanent member.
With the addition of Lohr, Aloud recorded The Sooner It Comes, a six-song EP, with producer Ian Hughes in early 2004. Aloud expanded their touring area to a greater portion of New England and New York City.[8]
That same year Aloud met with future collaborator Hugh Wyman. Wyman would initially offer suggestions on improving the band's guitar gear before approaching them to produce their first album. They spent the first few months of 2005 organizing, refining, and rehearsing material before spending the Summer and some of the Fall recording.
The band made its first real mark after releasing their debut album Leave Your Light On on May 2, 2006, to positive press and national airplay on college radio.[9][10][11][12] Leave Your Light On was released on Lemon Merchant Records Lemon Merchant Records. Aloud toured the record through the Northeast United States till the end of the year while concurrently working on material for their next record.
Fan the Fury and a new lineup: 2007-2009[edit]
In April 2007, Aloud made it to the semi-final round of the 29th annual WBCN Rock & Roll Rumble, beating out 15 other groups for the wildcard slot.[13] In the same month Jen de la Osa was nominated for Best Female Vocalist by the Boston Phoenix.[14]
Aloud spent the rest of 2007 writing material for a second album, eventually choosing to record it that Fall in New York City with Sony mix engineer Caleb Shreve (then going by the moniker Chuck Brody). In between recording sessions, Aloud made their first appearance at the CMJ Music Marathon that October.[15]
Fan the Fury, was released on March 25, 2008. A national tour to support the album followed. A film titled Hard Up In The 2000s, a documentary of the Spring leg of the tour, was released on September 12, 2008.[16]
In October 2008, it was revealed Aloud had been developing a multimedia live performance of Fan The Fury titled I Just Want To Witness..., taken after a lyric in the songs Witness and Justice & Forgiveness.[17] The show integrated Aloud's live performance of Fan The Fury in its entirety with corresponding films, and was developed with filmmaker Johnathan Carr. Films were contributed by Johnathan Carr himself as well as directors Erin Bowser, Mike Pecci, Chris March, and animators Kristin Osiecki and Timothy Scholl. I Just Want To Witness... debuted in Boston on November 18, 2008. While this has been the only full performance of I Just Want To Witness..., Aloud later performed the majority of the show in New York in 2009.[18]
In December 2008, music from Fan The Fury was heavily featured in Bad Habit Productions' presentation of The Laramie Project.[19]
The latter half 2008 saw significant changes to Aloud's core lineup. Bassist Roy Fontaine parted ways with the group in September 2008. Subsequently, Aloud toured as a three-piece during the Fall 2008 leg of the Fan The Fury tour. After the tour, former Baby Strange bassist Tim Hare began filling in on bass for live shows for the remainder of the year.
Drummer Ross Lohr left the group shortly after Fontaine's departure. His final performed with the group was January 29, 2009 in Allston, MA (although, in 2011, Lohr tracked drums on the Aloud single "The Cash and the Pearls").[20] He still appears in the music video for the song "Julie". Elaborating in an interview a year later, Henry and Jen stated Lohr left the band "the day after we filmed the Julie video" because he no longer enjoyed performing with the band and amicably parted ways.[21]
Aloud performed the third and fourth legs of the Fan The Fury tour with a rotating cast of live members: Jonathan Schmidt (from the band Morningwood), Rob Lynch (ex-Harris), Travis Richter (from the bands The Motion Sick and Naked On Roller Skates), Jesse James Salucci (The Lights Out) and Tommy Mazalewski alternated on drums. Tim Hare, Ryan Majoris (from the band Keeping Riley), Matthew Girard (from the band The Motion Sick and The Future Everybody) alternating on bass.
Since October 2009, bassist Charles Murphy (ex-Pyotr, ex-Comma) has been performing with the group, eventually joining as a full-fledged member of the band.
The free EP Live 2009 was released at the end of 2009, capping off the group's Fan The Fury era. The EP contained performances from one of the final shows of that tour at Howler's Coyote Cafe in Pittsburgh, PA on November 18, 2009.[22] The live show was recorded, engineered, and mixed by Bengt Alexander. The EP was released to the public as a free digital download on December 31, 2009.[23]
Exile: 2009-2011[edit]
From April 2009 - July 2010, Henry and Jen worked with producer Daniel Nicholas Daskivich on completing the third Aloud release, Exile.[24] In interviews, the band indicated Exile would be sonically different from previous Aloud releases.[25]
The recording process initially began as "therapy", but quickly stretched on over the course of a year. Aloud's touring members and friends guested on several tracks, with Daskivich taking on the majority of the drumming on Exile. The group worked on the record song by song, often building instrumentation around an acoustic guitar. As a result, the record featured material that was sparser and more experimental than Aloud's previous albums. The songs loosely drew upon de la Osa and Beguiristain's respective experiences as US-born children of Cuban exiles. Further inspiration was taken from Reinaldo Arenas' memoir, Before Night Falls.[26]
Aloud launched their first crowdfunding campaign on the Kickstarter platform to pay for manufacturing of the record and defray costs associated with the tour in support of the album. Exile was released on October 12, 2010, garnering some of the band's strongest reviews, specifically with regards to Aloud's musical versatility.[27]
The subsequent US coast-to-coast US tour ran from October 2010 through January 2011 and included a stop at the 2010 CMJ Music Marathon. A second coast-to-coast leg included Aloud's SXSW debut, and ran from mid-February through March 2011. Later that year, Aloud released a non-album single, "The Cash and the Pearls". The recording reunited de la Osa and Beguiristain with Ross Lohr in the studio, who performed drums on the track. Aloud celebrated the single's release with a tour of the south and midwest, followed by a month-long residency in their hometown of Boston.
De la Osa and Beguiristain were approached earlier in the year by the Berklee College of Music to participate in BANDED, a documentary intended to become a part of the school's PULSE curriculum. The months-long project followed them and four other groups from the Boston area to document the life of a song, from its genesis to completion in the recording studio. [28] The project culminated with the recording of "You Will Know" at Mad Oak Studios with head engineer Benny Grotto. Grotto encouraged Aloud to record the song as live as possible in the studio.[29] The band found the experience enjoyable and booked a second session with Grotto at Mad Oak to record "Such a Long Time" in the same manner.

Issues surfaced in early 2005 with an electro-pop French duo going by the same moniker. The duo consisted of Cyril Bodin and Gregory Louis. Paperwork submitted by Bodin and Louis to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (SN: 76580505) is open to the public and can be viewed at the United States Patent and Trademark Office.[30]
The main argument was in first use dates. Bodin and Louis listed September 23, 2003 as the date of first use. De la Osa and Beguiristain argued their first use in commerce of the name "Aloud" had been used prior (May, 2002). Bodin and Louis' application has remained in stasis January 21, 2005. However, Bodin and Louis broke the group up in 2005, making the point moot and clearing the way for the American 'Aloud' to use the name without any foreseeable hindrance.
Cyril Bodin (lead singer) is currently in a rock band named Amen Birdmen[31]
