I am beyond thrilled that mixing and matching patterns and prints and colors is now cool. I love that look -- crazy mixed up styling. As one who often loses a sock or three -- I now wear one pink and one orange sock and strut my stride -- I love the look.

Before being single, if you were like me, you probably didn't give much thought to how men saw you. It really didn't matter. You had your man and at least in the beginning he adored you just the way you were, whether in sweats or in a little black dress.
January is rough. After all of that holiday eating and loafing, it's hard to get back into the swing of work and real life. To say I feel sluggish is an understatement.
As the doors slammed shut behind me, I frantically realized my jacket was not in my arms or on my body, but instead was resting comfortably on a seat-back en-route to Glen Park. CRAP. I sullenly stomped out of the station and into the cool fall air sans jacket and wits.
I'm deep in the trenches in my battle against grey hair, and losing. Badly. By ground attack, water assault and drone strikes, those greys keep advancing, destroying my dome. My poor brown follicles have surrendered and now don the drab, grey uniform of the old enemy.
Ok ladies, there happens to be an acceptable fashion accessory this season that we all have in our closets. Hint: it's leather, you used to borrow it from your boyfriend, it covers your arms, it makes you feel Bad Ass.
As I sit on the bus in my striped fur Yves Salomon jacket, leggings with the knees ripped out, shod in bright red Bernhard Willhelm sandals and a smirk, I'm happily giving father time the finger, at least today. Ladies, I hope you all do the same.
I have finally figured out, at this late stage in life, how to dress. These are the essentials.

The long dress I was planning to wear to my son's wedding needed earrings. Not a necklace. Not a bracelet. Not a glitzy ring. I needed earrings with a presence.

A century ago, stewards were responsible for managing estates or for keeping order at public events. Today, the Earth is one global estate, and improved stewardship is vital for maintaining social order and for preserving life on Earth. In this paper, we describe Earth Stewardship, a social–ecological framework for sustaining life in a rapidly changing world. The paper defines the components of Earth Stewardship, characterizes the scientific needs for its agenda, and discusses initial efforts to engage multiple disciplines and segments of society in its application. As a beginning, new knowledge for global stewardship must be generated by teams of physical, biological, and social scientists. However, other stakeholders are needed for generating and applying such knowledge, including people in communities of faith, professions involved in design, planning and restoration, and policymakers and managers. Communicating environmental problems and solutions must take into account the psychology of how people perceive problems, promoting positive stances toward the actions needed for an adaptive approach to Earth Stewardship. Successful long-term stewardship of the Earth will require a global partnership linking researchers, managers, policymakers, and citizens.

ntpd freezes LXDM or X server...? or even setting the time at all? (self.archlinux)
submitted 3 years ago by TheBlackParrot
I have this old computer with a 700MHz Athlon in it, and I'm using it as a jukebox and general backup server.
When I have ntpd enabled, lxdm freezes before ever showing anything. I have it auto-logging into my account so it could also be the X server, but I'm not 100% sure.
If I set the time while logged in, the X server freezes. I can still get to a tty terminal through ctrl-alt-F1 though.
The CMOS in the computer is dead too, could this have something to do with it?
kernel 3.7.9-1 if that's needed. I just installed Arch a few days ago.
there doesn't seem to be anything here

In Spite of Myself: A Memoirby Christopher Plummer
View All Available Formats & Editions
A rollicking, rich portrait of a life. And what a life! By one of today's greatest living actors.
He was born a Canadian on a Friday the thirteenth in 1929—the year of the Crash. His boyhood was one of privilege: an ancestor was a Governor General; his great-grandfather Sir John Abbott was Canada's third prime minister and owned railroads.
A rollicking, rich portrait of a life. And what a life! By one of today's greatest living actors.
He was born a Canadian on a Friday the thirteenth in 1929—the year of the Crash. His boyhood was one of privilege: an ancestor was a Governor General; his great-grandfather Sir John Abbott was Canada's third prime minister and owned railroads. There were steam yachts, mansions, and a life of Victorian gentility and somewhat cluttered splendor.
Plummer tells how "this young bilingual wastrel, incurably romantic, spoiled rotten, tore himself away from the ski slopes to break into the big bad world of theatre, not from the streets up but from an Edwardian living room down," and writes of his early acting days as an eighteen-year-old playing the lead in Shakespeare's Cymbeline, directed by the legendary Komisarjevsky of Moscow's Imperial Theatre.
We see his glorious New York of the fifties, where life began at midnight, with the likes of Arthur Miller, Carson McCullers, Tennessee Williams, and Paddy Chayefsky, and how Plummer's own Broadway world developed and swept him along through the last Golden Age the American Theatre would ever remember . . . how the sublime Ruth Chatterton ("she might have been created by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis") introduced him to the right people in New York . . . how Miss Eva Le Gallienne gave Plummer his Broadway debut at twenty-five in The Starcross Story ("It opened and closed in one night! One solitary night! But what a night!"). He writes about Miss Katherine Cornell (the last stage star to travel by private train), who, with her husband, Guthrie McClintic, added to what experience Plummer had the necessary gloss, spit, and polish to take him to the next level. Guthrie bundled Plummer off to Paris for a production of Medea, opposite Dame Judith Anderson ("a little Tasmanian devil . . . who with one look could turn an audience to stone").
Plummer writes about the great producers with whom he worked—Kermit Bloomgarden, Robert Whitehead, and Roger Stevens—about Lillian Hellman, Leonard Bernstein, Elia Kazan ("If you weren't careful, this chameleon of chameleons might change into you, wear your skin, steal your soul"), and the miracle that was the new Stratford Festival in Canada, where Plummer blossomed in the classics under the extraordinary Tyrone Guthrie. He writes about his (too brief) encounters with his favorite geniuses, Orson Welles and Jonathan Miller. He writes about his lifelong friendships with Raymond Massey and the wild Kate Reid, and with that fugitive from the Navy, "that reprobate and staunch drinking buddy, the true reincarnation of Eugene O'Neill, whose blood was mixed with firewater," Jason Robards, Jr.
Plummer writes about his affairs and his marriages, and about his daughter, Amanda, who "despite her slim looks and tiny bones could raise tempests, guaranteed to loosen the foundation of any theatre in which she chose to rage."
We see him becoming a leading actor for Peter Hall's Royal Shakespeare Theatre, with a company of young talented players, each destined for stardom—Judi Dench, Vanessa Redgrave, Peter O'Toole, et al., collectively the future of the English stage. The old guard was brilliantly represented by Dames Edith Evans and Peggy Ashcroft and Sir John Gielgud. Plummer, the only fugitive from the New World, played Richard III, Benedick, and Henry II in Becket.
He writes about his film career: The Sound of Music (affectionately dubbed "S&M") . . . Inside Daisy Clover, which brought him together with the beautiful Natalie Wood . . . John Huston's The Man Who Would Be King (Plummer was Rudyard Kipling). He tells the story of accepting Sir Laurence Olivier's invitation to join the National Theatre Company, playing in Amphytron directed by Olivier himself ("a great actor but lousy director"), and writes about falling deeply in love with and eventually marrying a young actress and dancer, Elaine Taylor—to this day, his "one true strength."
Seamlessly written, with stories that make us laugh out loud and that make real the fascinating, complex, exuberant adventure that is the actor's (at least this actor's) life.
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
Fans of Plummer's acclaimed Shakespearean performances or his stately film roles, from Captain von Trapp in The Sound of Music to the Klingon General Chang in Star Trek VI, may not recognize him in this breezy, bawdy memoir. Plummer drinks and parties his way through a six-decade career; beds starlets, prompters and wardrobe girls; and endures countless mid-performance indignities and pratfalls. (Lesson repeatedly learned: actors and stagehands should not get drunk right before the show.) Plummer is ebullient, a bit hammy ("I cried myself to sleep for weeks," he sobs, after his dog Toadie dies), full of canny insights into the actor's craft and prone to occasional stabs of self-reproach over his own failed marriages, aloof parenting and unjustified tantrums. Throughout, he's an enchanting observer of the showbiz cavalcade, drawing vivid thumbnails of everyone from Laurence Olivier to Lenny Bruce and tossing off witty anecdotes ("George C. Scott turned up at our doorstep one morning at 4:30 a.m. looking most sinister and as usual dripping blood from head to toe") like the most effortless ad libs. The result is a sparkling star turn from a born raconteur for whom all the world is indeed a stage. Photos. (Nov. 11)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Born in Toronto to a privileged family, Plummer, with all of his Shakespearean acting credits, could easily be mistaken for a product of jolly old England. He had some lucky breaks-his youthful charm held him in good stead, and he was able to hone his craft until he became a well-established actor. His memoir is humorously self-deprecating but decidedly formal and florid (for example, he writes, "very few paid heed to a would-be Eulenspiegel, whose merry pranks had the consistent habit of backfiring"). The book is more of a challenge than the usual celebrity memoir. Plummer's habit of inserting verse is annoying, and, considering the length of the book, an index would have been appreciated. Overall, this is a detailed record of a distinguished acting career and a life well lived. He knew "everyone," and he dishes the dirt. His section on the making of The Sound of Music(which he called "S&M") is worth the whole read. Recommended for all libraries. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 6/1/08.]
Rosellen Brewer
—Alex Witchel, The New York Times Book Review
"A staggering parade of theater-world luminaries struts, swaggers and, yes, occasionally staggers through this compulsively readable memoir. . . Mr. Plummer seems to have worked with just about everyone imaginable–Ruth Chatterton and Katherine Cornell, Jason Robards and Laurence Olivier, Julie Harris and Judith Anderson, Tyrone Guthrie and Edward Everett Horton (!) – and he has a tasty anecdote about onstage, backstage or drinking-hole doings about every single one of them."
—Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
" [A] splendid, lively memoir, and for that matter a fair description of his life and personality… An immensely satisfying memoir, of rare grace, good humor, and unapologetic self-honesty…. as rich as a Christmas pudding… Plummer's book is chockablock with a lifetime's worth of good stories, interesting people and memorable performances, the distillation of a great career, and, I would guess, a great life. In tact and generosity of spirit, it is the very model of what a memoir should be….Nobody tells a better theatrical story, or more of them, than Plummer (well, almost nobody, John Gielgud was in a class by himself, and Plummer has three great Gielgud stories)…Plummer is above all a great storyteller…always deliciously indiscrete, and often very funny…I read every page of his book with interest, pleasure, an occasional tear, and many rich guffaws: it is, frankly, a treat, not only for its theatrical stories, but also because Plummer is that rarest of actors, intelligent, thoughtful, hard-working, talented, imaginative, generous, dedicated to his craft, and occasionally struck by spark of thespian genius. . . Anyone who still loves the theater will love every page of it."
—Michael Korda, The Daily Beast
"[A] fascinating memoir…The book records so many trysts, pratfalls, drunken evenings–and afternoons–that it's amazing he has survived… amply shows how Mr. Plummer has managed a long, successful career in spite of himself..."
—The Wall Street Journal
"An enjoyable read, packed with anecdotes and amusing stories…this belongs on any library's film or theater shelves."
"A veteran actor of stage and screen rehearses his long personal and professional life, often with humor, rarely with rancor…revealing and charming."
—Kirkus Reviews
"An enchanting observer of the showbiz cavalcade, drawing vivid thumbnails of everyone from Laurence Olivier to Lenny Bruce and tossing off witty anecdotes like the most effortless ad libs. The result - a sparkling star turn from a born raconteur for whom all the world is indeed a stage."

CHAPTER ONEI was brought up by an Airedale. I won't deny it, 'tis the truth and nothing but, Your Honour—a bumbling, oversized shaggy great Airedale. The earliest memory I have of anything resembling a pater familia, bouncer, male-nurse or God is that dear slobbering old Airedale. My sword, my lance, my shield, he never failed to stand at the ready to rescue me from all my early Moriarties! Wherever I happened to be—on the floor, in my bath or on the potty, there— looming above me, panting heavily, one large, drooling Airedale reporting for duty, sir! If I went for a ride in my little cart, I would look away and pretend there was no one there at all and then when I did look back, of course he was there. He was always there padding along beside me—how could I miss him? He was my only horizon— he filled the sky. Like Romulus or Remus, I was his cub and he was my Wolf of Rome. His name was Byng.He was christened after another shaggy old Airedale, Field Marshal Lord Byng of Vimy, whom my grandparents had known when he was governor general; and also for the very good reason that if any of our household showed guts enough to sit down to tea or play a hand at bridge, the day's calm would invariably become a stormy séance as tables, taking on a life of their own, began to shake violently and with one quick loud explosion, Bing! they would catapult themselves ceiling-ward as teapots, cups, toast, crumpets, cards and markers flew madly across the room! My canine patron had, quite simply, decided to rise.But I like Byng, my dog, becauseHe doesn't know how to behaveSo Byng's the same as the First Friend wasAnd I am the Man in the Cave(Apologies to Kipling)Nothing ever came between us—Your Honour—nothing—he was my world; I knew no other. Until one day, one sobering day, the spell was broken when a meddling family friend pointed out to me that the nice tall lady pushing my pram was my mother.Mummies and dogs! You can beat 'em, kick 'em, treat 'em as shabbily as you like—they will eternally forgive you and still come back for more. Such degree of devotion is as hard to grasp as it is unshakable. Being a child, I had no comprehension of it. It embarrassed me. I regularly ran away from it; in fact, I still do.I didn't throw myself into the struggle for life—I threw my mother into it.—g. b. shawI came into the world that monster of infant monsters, who can clear a room more swiftly than a Sherman tank; that very monster which causes fear, dread, revulsion to seal the lips of those that dare to speak its name—The Only Child! And being an only child I was more than frequently left on my own. Can you blame 'em?! A little boy's mind can play some pretty macabre tricks on itself. I was so damned terrified of the dark that Mother had to sing me to sleep, snatches of old French songs she particularly loved.Chante, rossignol, chante,Toi qui as le coeur gaiIl y a longtemps que je t'aime,Jamais, je ne t'oublierai.But the terror never left. It stayed through all the early years. Because of books, which Mother insisted I read, my imagination began to take over, and the long winters gave one so much time to dream up horrors. My grandparents' tall, forbidding house in the city could be pretty ominous, full of dark corners to jump out of and scare yourself to death. Every time I tried to rob my grandfather's overcoat pocket of change so I could sneak downtown to Ben's delicatessen for a smoked-meat sandwich and a Coke, some sudden sound would force me to drop everything and run like hell. My room was on the very top floor and in the middle of the night I would steal from my bed and sit shivering on the uppermost step, clinging tight to old Byng, staring down into the center of the long circular staircase, down into that black hole, that bottomless pit, and wait—wait for "them," whoever "they" were, to climb up and get us.Every spring we moved to the country. Lingering in the city after school, I generally took one of the late-night trains. As they never knew when I'd arrive, there was no family car to meet me and I was obliged to walk the long way home. When finally I reached our gate, I was tired and hungry but there was still some distance to go. Our driveway from the gate to the house was at least a half-mile long—it was always dark—no streetlamps lit the way. The first portion of the drive was long and straight but suddenly it dipped precipitously and turned a sharp corner. It was next to impossible to see. I could only feel my way and would invariably slip and fall on the loose gravel.The drive resumed, snaking along by a deep swamp to my left near the edge of the lake. The dense woods which made the darkness even more impenetrable gave out a dank fenlike smell. I kept glancing behind as I hurried along but there was never anyone following me. To gain confidence I tried singing, but the sound of my voice was more sinister than the darkness itself, so I quickly gave up. A faint light glowed from the fields to my right and more than once I was sure that I saw, lit by a young moon, a still, solitary figure standing there. I bolted the rest of the way up the hill and it wasn't till I reached the top and could see, through the eight tall poplars the lights from the house beyond, that my heart stopped pounding.Very softly down the glade runs a waiting, watching shade,And the whisper spreads and widens far and near;And the sweat is on thy brow, for he passes even now—He is Fear, O Little Hunter, he is Fear.—RUDYARD KIPLINGMore than once in the mountains north of the city, snowshoeing in the woods, I would lose my way. Night fell and I'd stop and stand dead still listening to the wind. The ice-bound trees cracked and rattled like the bones of skeletons. I was sure I would freeze to death. I started to cry and the tears froze against my face—little icicles hanging from my eyelids. The wind was stronger now and began to moan and howl through the tops of the pines, a sad and terrifying sound. I was certain at any moment I would be snatched up by that Spirit that hovers high above the trees the half-breeds talk of—that carries you away into the sky at such frightening speed that you burn alive. And so the energy that imagination generates warmed me, and at last, I could concentrate and find my bearings.In the snow-covered city, I would ski from the top of Mount Royal down its winding trails past the great stone wall surrounding an estate called Raven'scrag and onto our street, Pine Avenue. Often Mother would join me on her skis, but she also loved taking walks up those same trails. Frequently alone, as her selfish wayward son had less and less time for Mummy, she very seldom wore an overcoat even on the most frigid day, just a heavy tweed suit, thick brogues and flowing scarf. Very thirties, very smart, very brave! One late afternoon as I whirled down the hill full speed along by Raven'scrag's wall, I saw her coming up toward me on foot. I waved at her as I whisked past and out of the corner of my eye I saw her wave back. When I reached the bottom I looked around, but to my astonishment there was no one there, just an empty hill. I climbed up the trail again on my skis; how could she have disappeared so quickly? Was she behind the wall? But there was no door, hole or space into which she could have vanished. Had my eyes deceived me? Had I seen her at all? I kept still and listened for footsteps on the hard crust—there was nothing but silence. The sun dipped behind the mountain and a chill set my teeth chattering. I turned and skied the rest of the way home faster than I had ever made it before.AS A FAMILY we were knee-deep in dogs—Canines Unlimited. That was all right by me. I adored them all. But to one in particular, a long- suffering cocker spaniel called Scampy, I am ashamed to say I was rather cruel. We played "power games" together, instigated by me, of course, and I caused him to suffer a bit, I'm afraid—just the sort of tricks a lonely, spoiled-brat child with too much time on his hands might play. Until one day I saw something that made me swear that I would never ever hurt an animal of any kind again.It was dead winter in Montreal, an uncomfortable cold, the roads treacherous, icy—almost impassable—no traffic to speak of. I was staring out of our living room bay window onto the streets below. The familiar little horse-drawn cart carrying coal came clattering with difficulty up the steep hill. The same horse, the same old man that had made this trip together winter after winter since time began. The ancient horse, now almost all bones, was faithfully struggling to reach the summit—the old man urging him on with his whip. But the hooves could not get a grip on the ice. The horse bravely kept up the struggle, slipping backwards as he went. The old man, beside himself, gave the poor nag a severe lashing—but in vain—the horse stopped. He could move no longer. One last lash of the whip proved too much. His heart cracked as he sagged to the ground between the halters. It began to snow. Something heaved inside me—I ran from the window to hide and when I returned I looked down and the old man, his livelihood gone forever, was sitting in the middle of the road cradling the horse's head in his arms—rocking back and forth in silent grief as the big gentle flakes began to cover everything beneath them in a warm soft blessing.There's an island deep down in my sleepA lost land I long to findBut I wake 'ere I reach the islandSo it must only live in my mind.It could be the dream we yearn forThat on earth we may never attainBut I know there was love on that islandFor it chased away all of my pain.If you looked through the oaks and the balm of Gilead across the bay from our country house on the shore, you could just see the island. You couldn't always quite make it out, not all at once, and sometimes it simply decided in its mischievous way to hide behind a fog—but from my earliest infancy, I knew it was there. It seemed to float on its own, just a little above the water, not too permanent a thing as if, free of its moorings, it would drift away at any moment. I just hoped it wouldn't forget me but beg me to follow.It had a habit of disappearing and reappearing through the mist and beckoning . . . always beckoning. When I grew older I was allowed to go there with my mother. It was like playing truant; it was the most wonderful escape. It didn't take me long to realize it was an escape for Mother too.It belonged to her greatest friend—a lady of similar age with the warmest, most sympathetic of hearts and the deepest, darkest, most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. Her name was Pauline but everyone called her "Polly" and the island was "Polly's Island." She was Canadien Français, spoke a little of all sorts of languages and her English was unique. Her voice was coated with a husky timbre which was not unmusical and in an extraordinary way enhanced her attractiveness; its Creole-like drawl made you want to smile. It gave her conversation an unusual extravagance—an almost theatrical cadence— she elongated her "ma chères," affectionately stretching them out to infinity. When she spoke, the world was an easy place to be in. She made me feel as grown-up and as wise as she, and she listened as if I were her only friend.The island on weekends overflowed with guests from all over the globe, it seemed, considering the variety of tongues, and Polly, with breathtaking ease, practiced her phenomenal talent for making everyone feel that this was perhaps the only home they'd ever had. No one wanted to leave. Whenever there was a crowd, Mother and I knew just where to hide. On the way up to the house there was a bridge where we could stare down at the giant lily pads that carpeted the black waters below. There were lots of mysterious paths through the woods with surprise openings where we could both get splashed from the waves crashing against the shore; the swimming hole, with a raft you could swim out to, the stables which housed the ponies, and the inlets through which we would paddle our canoe and watch the bitterns stand on one leg or listen to the long sad chorale of the frogs.Polly had the most exquisite eye, and there was always the heady fragrance of fresh-cut flowers that penetrated every room. The great screened-in porch with its burnt-sienna tiles where cool drinks were served was the place to while away many an hour looking out across the lawn to the far point at the island's tip and watch the sun go down. This enchanted isle would remain for me throughout my life, a hidden world . . . a place lodged firmly in the heart. It also became for me all the islands I never knew, perhaps too far at times to reach, and almost always, a little too wondrous to be true.Lord Ronald said nothing; he flung himself from the room,flung himself upon his horse and rode madly off in all directions.—stephen leacock

His autobiography includes much name dropping, but it's all because he began working with some a very well known, and soon-to-be well known actors of radio, stage and screen...He writes beautifully and I was eager to read every page... and saddened to see the book was coming to an end. I enjoyed this book... If you are interested in the history of the theatre, especially care to learn about Broadway live theatre, the early days of so many who went on to become the heart of the American Theatre, this is the book for you....
I read this entire book but was very disappointed in it, particularly after reading the review in the New York Times Book Review. It is not well written nor is it well edited. Christopher Plummer uses exclaimation points so often they lose their effect. He makes obvious errors that an editor should have corrected, such as referring to someone running for "mayor of Maine." While Plummer is quite honest about his failings, he comes across as being arrogant and it gets very tiresome reading about his drunken exploits.
Christopher Plummer has earned his honors over a long lifetime. It is fascinating to read his take on himself after viewing his many incarnations of the stage and screen. Some of it is delightful, some a trip through the dark night of the soul. But with a smile and a laugh. I am just amazed that with the amount of alcohol involved (fulfilling the stereotype of the great actor!) he has such recall! A joy for us all.
I'll raise a glass to him. He has reminded us that the acting profession
is not all sturm und drang, but very much comedy overlaying tragedy.
I enjoyed Christopher Plummer at Stratford, Ontario in the late 50's and was eager to read of his full life in the theater. He knew and worked with a lot of people, so he asks the reader to plow through very, very, many names, but many of them are big names that are interesting to learn more about. If you are not interested in absorbing all the names, you can skim over them and still learn a lot about classical theater and actors as well as some interesting movie history. His life story was very interesting and compelled me to read all 647 pages.
This was not an autobiography that I would recommend to anyone. It was so boring. He wrote a long book, over 600 pages and it had about maybe 40 pages about himself. The rest were about his co stars and their lives. He wrote about the directors and producers and all the drinking that went on. He wrote little about himself. Isn't that what an autobiography is suppose to be about?
And what upset me the most was that he was a terrible father to his daughter. Now they are close, so that makes it seem alright. It's hard to make up those lost years.
Haven't read it yet! Gave it to my friend who's a theater nut and I'm waiting until she's done to borrow it and read it myself.

An inspired izakaya on the Inner Harbor
By Tom Sietsema
Sunday, December 16, 2012
Thoughtfulness is as free-flowing as sake at Pabu.
Sure, the cool towels you receive as you settle into the Japanese tavern in the Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore are a courtesy extended by a number of Japanese restaurants. But the good vibes run right through the night. Order coffee, and the pot arrives in a zippered leather wrap to keep it warm. Use the valet service, and your car is purring out front when you exit. Come to think of it, when's the last time the guy who parked your wheels introduced himself, or inquired about your dinner? (Thanks, Andrew!)
Pabu is the latest dining concept to go into the gleaming luxury hotel overlooking the Inner Harbor. As with its sibling, Wit & Wisdom, Pabu is the brainchild of the San Francisco-based Michael Mina Group, whose brand-name chef helped dream up a casual Asian concept for the hotel. Pabu takes its inspiration from Japanese izakayas, or pubs, hence its name and an emphasis on drinks and small plates, including skewered grilled meats, or robata.
It might take a few dishes to appreciate the concept. Pabu's chicken wings are no better than standard issue, and the kitchen's vegetable tempura includes a few undercooked elements that pick a fight with your teeth. Similarly, "Michael's chicken noodle" ramen, with its dull broth and dry meat, will not explain why the country has flipped for ramen.
Hawaiian-inspired poke, or ahi tuna salad, mutes conversation, on the other hand. Spiked with fresh ginger and Srichacha, the lushness of the minced fish still shines through. Served as a pink cake, the tartare is framed with fried wonton sails for scooping. Shishito peppers, another starter, are as ever-present as tattoos on chefs these days; I have yet to meet a server who doesn't warn you that eating the finger-length Japanese chili peppers is a game of Russian roulette, where every third or fourth one might be explosively hot. The nosh at Pabu is dusted with dried shaved bonito and an unusual price: $4.88. Dishes ending in 88, explains a server, are among the favorites of executive chef Jonah Kim, a veteran of the esteemed Uchi in Austin.
I cannot fathom why the digits don't apply to Kim's country ribs. I never go to Pabu that I don't order the appetizer, sweet-hot charred pork that takes your tongue on a joy ride and leaves your fingers stained red (and a goofy smile on your face). Served crisscrossed on their plate, skewered chicken meatballs look like savory lollipops. Flash-fried before hitting the grill, they are crisp outside, tender inside, and seasoned with white pepper and minced onion to elevate their flavor.
Save perhaps for the crab cake (set off with pork belly and a fried egg) on the menu, little about Pabu suggests you're eating in Charm City. The design sweeps you far, far away, to a place where shelves of glazed sake casks serve as see-through walls, bamboo warms up much of the ceiling, and custom-made pottery plates grace knotty pine tables. Loud music wafting from the bar interrupts the otherwise serene feel.
The staff at Pabu is trained to speak knowingly about the menu and translate ingredients you might not recognize. Falernum, for the uninitiated, is a sweetly-spiced syrup with origins in the Caribbean. Along with Lillet blanc, sake and yuzu, falernum inhabits the citrusy Super X cocktail, priced at $10.88.
An informed crew doesn't equal a discreet one, however. Some attendants don't know when to stop cleaning crumbs from the table, filling water glasses to the very brim or interrupting to ask the dreaded, "Are you enjoying everything?" Dial back, kids. And do not, I repeat, do not, tell me that two of your favorite dishes are also the most expensive items on the menu, even if that's true. The practice smacks of up-selling.
The broad and busy sushi counter in the back is your cue to incorporate raw fish or seafood rolls into the evening. I appreciate the small, soft pads of rice that support the carefully carved fish: yellowtail if I'm slumming it, fatty tuna (toro) if it's payday, or shad gizzard if only because it's not a topping you see often. Creamy sea urchin, or uni, speaks to sea-freshness, too. More than half the fish is flown in from the famous Tsukiji market in Tokyo.
There are only a handful of large plates, among them miso-marinated black cod that falls away at the touch of your tines, and comes with bok choy, rice and a tiny yellow nest of radish that is perfect punctuation for the rich fish. It's a pleasant composition. But my inclination at Pabu, and the thrust of the place, is the small plates.
About that sake. Pabu not only pours more than 100 kinds, the restaurant comes with a dedicated curator, Tiffany Dawn Soto. Officially the hotel's beverage manager, she got her start as a wine instructor at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, where a sizable number of her students were Japanese and wanted to know more about sake than she could deliver. Soto went on to study the subject in Japan and is certified as a master sake educator. A consultation with the pro might lead to something special, like the unpasteurized Masumi Arabashiri, a subtly floral, fruity sake so delicate it is kept upstairs in dark storage.
Dessert is not something Asian restaurants tend to invest much time in, and true to form, there are only two options for the last course at Pabu. Spring for the sampler, a slender barge of multiple little bites that start at one end with a dab of chestnut puree and a fried soba noodle and continue with yuzu-sweetened sponge cake and brown sugar custard with apple gelee.
The progression of flavors is like eating a good novel, and I'm not surprised when I see its price: $10.88.

Just need to be careful it's not enabling an extension that will give problems
I can´t install it???!!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I think that could be a very good add-on, but i can´t say anything about this, because my FF (FF 28) says that it´s not compartible with my FF-version, but on the add-on site there´s no warning about this and the FF-help was not usefull, too! Please help me!!!!

excellent add-on Rated 5 out of 5 stars
when all the other add-ons failed, this was the only one that worked to revive privacy suite on my computer...now am able to backup all my passwords before saying goodbye to the awesome extension...
Thank you! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This extension helped me reinstall Tidy Read on Firefox 25.0. As yet, I have no problems.
not working in daily etc Rated 4 out of 5 stars
still a good idea but TB seems to have changed the names of the compatibility check keys in about:config - I managed to switch off by going in a toggling also the keys with "saved" in them...this could be a drag to do for every daily update though!
Please update - broken in TB24 Rated 5 out of 5 stars
The five star rating is for how this add-on used to work. I consider this one ESSENTIAL, given the rapid-fire updates these days. Please update for TB24 and above!! I miss the extensions I had working until TB updated itself...
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thanks for this! It made me able to install discontinued add-ons.

Excellent work, the add-on works perfectly as desired and saves effort.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Works like it should.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Useful and workable add-on in palemoon 20.2.1
Works perfectly with all but very old add-ons Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This add-on works precisely as advertized. Has allowed me to use several add-ons which this website claims are incompatible with FF v22, and which FF will otherwise refuse to install. Requires no setup and has no options, but simply disables this check.
I would have given a full five stars without hesitation, if not for a few minor issues:
* In the add-on list, it is titled "checkCompatibility," which is badly formatted and confusing because it's the opposite of what the add-on actually does. Something more like the title on this page ("Disable Add-on Compatibility Checks") would be much more appropriate.
* Description is confusing, mentioning the variable name many times while only indirectly stating the primary function of disabling the check, and what this will allow in practice.
* If disabled or removed, the add-ons it facilitated will also be disabled at the next restart. This should be mentioned somewhere in the description or upon disabling, since one might reasonably assume this add-on is no longer needed after the compatibility is confirmed during installation.
I consider this add-on to provide critical functionality which should be included in FF itself, especially considering the frequency of its revision releases and the fact that most newer addons will still function perfectly. Until mozilla allows us to perform "experimental" installations again, this add-on works beautifully. Thanks so much!
Great Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Very good ! Nothing to add thanks you.
I needed this! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Firefox changes all the time. It's no surprise that Add-on developers can't always keep up, especially casual developers who develop great add-ons in their spare time. For times when a developer hasn't had a chance to flag their add-on as compatible with the latest version of Firefox, this Add-on is invaluable to prevent those add-ons from being disabled! Thanks!
Works great on FF 22 Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Does exactly what it should on FF22! Thanks!

"A bit disappointing"
Ms Hibbert
27 April 2016
I tried the halloumi recipe yesterday and like many others did not end up with the distinctive squeaky salty cheese I was hoping for. I followed the recipe exactly, but did find it very vague, with no times given for how long each stage should take. I did give it a very quick stir after adding the vinegar but still ended up with something much more like ricotta that was quite bland after adding just a teaspoon of salt. I am left with no idea how to get it right as there are no troubleshooting tips for halloumi in the book! A nice idea but it seems there just needs to be a lot more detail.
A note from the team
Thank you for your review. We're sorry to learn that you'd been disappointed with the results you'd had. We'll be in touch shortly to help.

In the twilight of the pre-dawn on Thursday, bombs dropped on the home of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born, Yemeni-based cleric. Yemeni Air Forces carried out the attack in an effort to kill al-Qaeda militants reportedly gathered there to plan attacks on Western concerns. At the time of this writing, it is unclear whether the controversial imam was actually killed in the early morning air strike.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, upon completing a two-day visit to Afghanistan on December 22, pledged that the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) is committed to staying in the country until the Afghan government and military are ready to take over their own defense and that there would be no deadline for the exit of allied troops from the country.
Iran test fired an improved version of its Sejil 2 medium-range missile on December 16, increasing tensions between Iran and Western powers. The Sejil 2 has a range of about 1,200 miles.
The Islamic State of Iraq, a militant umbrella group linked to al-Qaeda, claimed the blame on December 10 for a series of coordinated bombings in Baghdad this week that killed 127 people and wounded more than 500. The group posted a message on its website that it would "uproot pillars of this government and … demolish its corners."
Afghan President Hamid Karzai declared on December 8 that his country would not be capable of paying for the armed forces necessary to maintain internal security until at least 2024.

Re: Advice please on large collection
s with JDBs (long)
Im not sure what a JDB is but in order for you to be stuck with a 5 figure tax bill from debt forgiveness, theyd have to be forgiving $75k+ If your income doesnt allow a BK, maybe just wait it out. Nevertheless, having them removed via dispute/BBB/FTC is not going to forgive the debt, therefore no tax liability. They will just be deleted. The debt will remain so you cant be taxed on it

Dear Heloise: I read your column regularly and enjoyed the piece about the kitchen maid. I am making one for my sister's bridal shower. I did miss the column on "Mr. Honey Do" and would like to know if you can repeat how to make him. -- Jennifer, Via FaxHere's the masculine version of the kitchen maid -- whom we fondly refer to as Mr. Honey Do -- which has evolved from many reader letters and versions through the years.
Start with a stepladder for the body and add a rake to the back (with the rake portion at the top to resemble a crew cut of hair). Attach rolls of black electrical tape to the rake for eyes, and follow with a nose of steel wool and maybe a pair of pliers for a smile. Just use your imagination and items you know the groom would use, and create a custom Mr. Honey Do.
Some other ideas would be tying a tool belt around the "waist" area and filling it with garden hand tools, hand cleaner, shop towels, hammer, flashlight, tape measure, foam drink holder, etc. You can also add two sprinklers to the bottom of the ladder for feet.
Good luck, and if you get the chance, I'd love to see a picture of your final creation! -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: On a hot summer day, everyone enjoys a cold and refreshing ice cream cone. To prevent dripping, put a miniature marshmallow in the tip of the ice-cream cone before scooping in your favorite flavor of ice cream. -- Janis DePasqua, Youngstown, Ohio
Dear Heloise: I have a suggestion for others needing support for small plant cuttings.
For very little cost, you can buy craft sticks at a craft store in packs of 100 or more (look like ice-pop sticks -- H). These are ideal to use and take up a small space in tiny pots. -- Linda Brewer, Huntsville, Ala.
Dear Heloise: I haven't seen this one in your column, but it's so obvious that I think it's been thought of before: I use my egg slicer to slice bananas for my cereal -- it's wonderful. -- Rosie Walcek, Fullerton, Calif.
Dear Heloise: I have been an avid reader of your column for many years.
I recently purchased a new microwave, but before disposing of the old one, I removed the large dish from it. This flat dish can be used as a large serving tray and comes in handy, especially at parties. -- Eileen Donlon, Staten Island, N.Y.
Dear Heloise: I found that by putting a piece of sticky-sided fabric tape on the handles of fingernail and toenail clippers, it keeps my thumb from slipping during use. -- Ken Leppich, Phoenix

I am in love with the LGBT line. I had bought the entire set. The top I bought it a medium. It was tight so I'm waiting on the large to come in. Hopefully it doesn't look awkward wearing 2 different sizes. ANYWAYS. The colors are vibrant. I love it. I had so many staring at me in positivity. It's unique. You don't see track suits especially Adidas with vibrant colors. ... read more
So I'm just going to get what I don't like out of the way. SO when you put items into the pockets of these pants and you may be sitting down. It leaves this weird white outline of the item in your pocket. It's so weird and hard to explain. I had my phone in my pocket and there was white residue that made a perfect imprint of my phone. It even happened in the other pocket with a pack of gum. I also don't like the adidas trifol and wording is coated in this weird fuzzy fabric. It gets dirty fast with the black sweat pant fuzz. Other than that they are great and the things above are minor which is why I still gave it 4 stars. Wish I could give it 4.5 because the above doesn't deserve a full star loss. The pants are so comfortable. They aren't like normal sweats where it's all fuzzy inside. It's feels almost like velvet, and silk. It's so weird to explain but I love it. I typically get size large in sweat pants but I'm glad I chose a medium I'm about 5"9 167 pounds? Fits me great! ... read more
I really like the colour (electric green) and they are very comfortable to wear. I was worried about the cuffed hem but they actually look fine and the cuff is loose enough that it always falls around the ankle. ... read more
These sweatpants are a great alternative to joggers, as there is no elastic leg cuff. They hug the calf and are slightly less tight in the thigh. I'm 5'11", 175 lbs with a 33" waist, and these fit me just about perfectly. If there is a restock of the gray color in M size, I will definitley be buying them! ... read more
Realy good quality pants.i have to send mine back though,as im usuallu size l in adidas pants but this one is vary slim fit and would not feel comfortable enough to do squads in than as they would pull down .recomend to go size up unless u have vary slim body.other than that its a good quality pants.been using adidas web site often and must say they provide great service and so easy to send stuff back if u are not happy .good comunication and service 10 out of 10.thank you for that;) ... read more
I will purchase this product again. I bought the blue but i was hoping to get a black. When will the size small be available in black? Haha im supposed to write a review but...however, it fits perfectly and it's not too loose. It's good for gym training or any rigorous sports ... read more
Have to say that this bottom is very comfortable but its very tight, i am a slim guy, around 5.8" tall and i purchased a size small, the length is not too bad but ever slightly longer than expected but it is very tight that below my knee it is stuck to my skin and looks a bit like girls leggings. But like i said, it's very comfortable indeed ... read more
I am 5ft8, a small size is about right for me and it touches my ankle, the fit looks just like the model , it is not baggy at all! I hope this size fit gives you a rough idea on how it would fit for you. ... read more
I like the design, which pairs the colourful stripes with black fabric. It brings out the brightness of the stripes. The only flaw for me is the length of the pants - bit too long for me. From my purchase experience with Adidas, it seems to me their pants tend to have different length for different models, which can be bit confusing for me to decide whether the garment suits me or not. ... read more
Originally bought the Lytham Track Pants to wear to and from holiday in Spain, but wanted to try them before to check the fit & feel. The Quality is great length is good, 5.10 and bought a medium. Some nice touches with the zipped pockets and detailing. The big test was travelling for several hours and the knees losing shape, well they kept the true shape no problem. Only down sides are the waist is quite big and the definitely a summer pants. All in all a great product. ... read more
I don't know where to begin. These are all around perfection. If I had to complain about something then it would be that they didn't have them in white to match the shoes I already have. Thanks Adidas! ... read more
I really like the fit of these track pants, skinny but not too tight. Perfect for exercising or soccer. Took a chance with one in size M one in size L, both fit very well (I'm 5'9): L feels and looks a bit looser like the model in pictures, M is slightly skinnier but similar lengthwise. ... read more

Etrons Multiplayer suggestions
i just wanted to make a post and let you know what works for me...
MP9... its the shit. period. i used to be a MTAR21 guy, but after the MP9 i wont go back. Its just as accurate from long range (and honestly, none of the maps are wide enough to need a long range weapon) and its lighter and easier to use... the submachine gun genre is one that is often neglected but great to use...
also, for those that load up on armor, not the greatest idea. I typically play with shoulder and leg and thats it...the more armor, the slower you are, and if you go for head shots, it wont matter if the guy is wearing a tank...
the general principle for this game is to get to a defensive position as fast as possible... and get the other team as they scurry to their spots...the less armor the quicker you are...seconds count.
MAP Specific Suggestions:
Kill House:
1) Sniper kit. Run up the stairs from the start and go to the middle level, peek out and make sure your aim is down the corridor and wait 2 seconds. if a head pops out, shoot it. wait two seconds and if no more heads pop out move up the stairs halfway and scope their roof, shooting anything that moves.
2) sub machine gun kit. immediately run up the stairs to the roof and then through the doors and down onto the middle level of the house. Check the windows and doorways..you can easily pick off guys below you and above you from this vantage point... guys that are below you usually will not check above...
3) Remember if you go down the side with no walkway above it to toss gernades over the middle barrier, this can be good for a few quick kills...for the ballsier player, running through the middle and making a quick turn you can get the guys that are posted up on the other end...
Calypso Casino:
1) if you are alpha team, this is pretty simple. They are two points of entry for them to get to the middle level (or casino). They can come up the escalator or up the back door. Half the team should post up on either and wait. The ballsier player can do this...from the spawn head straight to the fast ropes in the escalator. Enter from the back door (nearest the helipad)..walk through the door with the straps and go right to the nearest fast rope. immediately fast rope down, hit a to open the door and b to start throwing the grenade down the escalator. This has to be timed just right. If you get held up at any point you will need to hold up and assume a defensive position.
2) Bravo team is at a major disadvantage as far as spawn is concerned but they can do some great camping and C4ing if they want. The idea on this map is that you work together as a team. there are only two ways down. If they are both covered correctly you wont have to worry about being shot in the back. C4 is a nice way to get the guys rushing down stairs. but patience is the key to winning on bravo team.
1) everyone loves to camp the spawn on streets... i think its a bad idea, unless you are playing with some noobs... from Alpha spawn, my suggestion is to drop down to the lower levels and run to the stairs that head out to the middle, take an immediate left and climb up the rope on the left building..clear it out (there may be a guy there) and head to the end of it and take out the camping assholes on the bottom left and the top left of the spawn...they usually do not expect it...chuck grenades and incendiaries up there to keep them back as your team moves in for the kill...now if there is a guy up there and he kills you, next round stand to the right of the top right window in your spawn and scope the doorway on the left side. He will expect you to be there again and might bring a friend. easy kills. (make sure you are not right on the doorway, stand back a bit)
2) over all the basement is not a good idea either. Bravo has a good basement spawn but you never know where the guys are...clear this out with a team member, one on each side of the wall...i highly recommend using the side buildings...
3) a cheap route, but use the sniper kit and sit in the back of your spawn (at the top). its dark back there and very difficult for the other team to see you...if you use a sniper make sure you have the glock 18 equipped for some close range encounters...
well i have to get back to work, but if this is helpful ill do the other maps too... im not bragging, but i dont lose a lot of team survival..
Great stuff man, this deserves a sticky imo.
Good stuff Etron
Pinseeker might be able to stick it :woop: he looks in these forums all the time good shit anyways
ill throw some more up after lunch... i hope you fuckers dont try to use this shit against me...:)
I will when I start to play it man :p
Oh and highpas... " Damn those lazy buggers! ;)" :eek: lol
Oh no way erton, the thought didn't even cross my mind...
I will print this out and pin it next to my TV, just in case, though.
1)Alpha team... go straight through the door into the open area and head straight across to the far door..open and continue to the right door...here is where you have to make a decision. The door on the left opens unto the casino floor...not a great idea, there are turrents up the left and windows straight ahead as well as ground level shooters...if you dont want to risk giong up the stairs, i would snake cam this door first and assess the situation...now if you want to get to the action, go the stairs and frag halfway up through the door on the second floor...if its clear procede. You have on your left, stairs that go down to the floor, be wary of these, and a hallway up to the left...this hallway usually haves a bunch of guys, lean over and prepare to return fire...this is a nice place to chuck grenades...
all in all, dantes is one of my least favorite maps... its pretty big and has a lot of closed places so make sure you frag long hallways, bravo team has a lot of spots in their spawn to hide behind..
As a long time Rainbow player I disagree with a lot of your strategies but i guess to each their own. Also sub machine guns are being used a lot in this rainbow and nothing else (with the exception of shotguns). I do agree though that the less armour the better usually.
i usually restrict shotguns, i think they are a bit cheap...you can disagree all you want, no big deal, these are strategies that work for me... four out of five games are victories for me...
Srry I didn't mean it as an attack towards you, I was just being my normal negative self and commenting.
Love the title dude. Was that intentional?:p
was what intentional. i am E Tron 3k. a gaming robot from the future sent to present to maintain high levels of video gaming for generations to come.
Why the MP9?
Just wondering at first, I used the MP5N, which wasnt bad. Than I used the UMP45, for about a day, and liked it a lot as well. Then I used the MP9, and I also like it. I also unlocked the MP7A1, which seems like the gun that a lot of good players use...
Just wondering why the MP9 is the best eventhough in the stats its not as good...?
i should comment that i have changed my opinion to the MP7A1...it has a 40 bullet clip with one in the chamber making it pretty handing in close combat shoot outs...the p90 for that matter has 50...its all a matter of preference...
single shot with a rifle scope is pretty damn acurate too...
and as far as the stats go i wouldnt pay too much attention to them... the range really doesnt matter since the maps arent that big...
EDIT: I have also decided to go Armor Free...it feels great... you move pretty damn fast and is highly encouraged for those rushers out there...
I've been using the MP5. Think ill try out some of your suggestions. I keep getting ripped on the multi player so time to change my gun.
What scopes do you tend to use?
I'm going to steel some of ertons fame, and I'll answer your question. Laser Sight is Useless... Reflex Scope is probably the best all around scope. Very good for medium range and accirate shots. The Scope Sight, would probably only be best for a couple of the bigger maps where you try to snipe or go a little further whith the shot. As for Snipers themselves always go with the 6x,12x since you have both in one...
In the end, it all depends on how you play, If you run a lot, get into the other players face's and find yourself in shoot-outs a lot, the reflex is probably best for you. If you like to sit back, Camp and just chill, and find yourself watching others, try the scope sight...
@maka.... i think the reflex scope is worthless...
Erton, I just wanted to say my roommate and I have followed a few of your suggestions and I've definitely noticed a sizeable improvement. Thanks for all your advice. Still a looong way to go to get elite but the game has become more fun now.
jump in a game with me sometime... i would like to believe that playing with me helped mario out a bit...
i consider myself a good team player... covering and such...
glad to hear this helped.
Thanks for the games last night, Erton and co. :)
it was good to see so you in the game... you were getting me with those nades near the end there....argghh...
I dont know if you said this yet Erton but i suggest that people dont stack up a whole lot of armor, it doesnt help. Most people aim head shot. All you really need is a little bit of armor on the chest and thats about it man. You dont really need to stack up like a freggin tank. It dont help.
but erton tonight was a BLAST! it was funny when i was behind you and you just turned around killed me and said "come on im not an idiot" that was HILARIOUS!
yeah, that was funny shit... it was library, 5-5 in a 12 man room... me and Mario were the last ones, which has come to be somewhat normal... i checked the stats to see who was left...mario...sob... so then i am running around trying to get him to notice me on the map and then this guy tries to run up behind me..lol... soon as he turns the corner i blast the hell out of him with mp7a1.... funny shit...
i was thinking of a clan prefix last night, you know like the KMA boys.. .what about OTG? for On the Ground... so everytime we kill someone we yell GET ON THE GROUND... lol...marinate.
alright, just found probrably the best Assault Rifle in the game...on 6x scope single shot AK-47 <--- best Rifle in the game.. can compete with a sniper but Full Auto blows... if someone is right near you just tap Right Trigger and single shot the shit out of them...the only map i have problems with is on calypso casino, team survival, on bravo spawn... but thats only bravo spawn..
its funny cause i was trying to mess around and use an AK to fuck with people but it turns out, it teh best:uzi:
Your wisdom is wise like a very wise man. I appreciate your wisdomosity.

1936 : (IRAQ : BIRTH OF TARIQ AZIZ, FUTURE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER OF IRAQ) Tariq Aziz (also spelled Tareq Aziz) was born Mikhail Yuhanna to a Chaldean Christian family in northern Iraq in 1936. He studied English at the Baghdad College of Fine Arts and later worked as a journalist. - http://cbc.ca/news/features/iraq/keyfigures.html.
1960s : (IRAQ & SYRIA : TARIQ AZIZ JOINS BAATH PARTY , LIVES IN SYRIA AND BECOMES AN ASSOCIATE OF SADDAM HUSSEIN) Tariq Aziz joined the Baathist movement shortly after graduating and spent much of the 1960s in Syria. He became an associate of Saddam Hussein during this time, and has been loyal to him ever since. - http://cbc.ca/news/features/iraq/keyfigures.html.
1968 : (IRAQ : TARIQ AZIZ BECOMES EDITOR OF BAATH PARTY NEWSPAPER AFTER COUP) Tariq Aziz became editor of the Baath party newspaper following the coup that brought it into power in 1968. He later was appointed cultural and information minister.- http://cbc.ca/news/features/iraq/keyfigures.html.
1979 : (IRAQ : TARIQ AZIZ TAKES OVER FOREIGN POLICY FOR HUSSEIN ALTHOUGH NOT FOREIGN MINISTER AT THE TIME) When Saddam took power in 1979, Tariq Aziz ran the country's foreign policy, even though he was only later appointed foreign minister in 1983. - http://cbc.ca/news/features/iraq/keyfigures.html.
1983 : (MARC RICH FLEES TO EUROPE — See MAUGEIN, CHIRAC, IRAQI OFFICIAL TARIQ AZIZ) Mr. Maugein, a billionaire with close ties to Jacques Chirac, is a longtime associate of the trader and former fugitive Marc Rich, who fled to Europe in 1983 to avoid answering charges of racketeering, illegal trading and dodging a tax-bill of $48 million. (Mr. Rich was pardoned by Bill Clinton in his final hours in the White House). Mr. Maugein was also a close contact of Tariq Aziz, with whom he met regularly. He is the non-executive chairman of Soco International Plc., a publicly listed London-based petroleum exploration/production company, which goes into markets the majors tend to skip — Mongolia, Vietnam, North Korea, Libya and Yemen. ...

Aziz met with Pope John Paul II for 30 minutes on 14 February 2003 prior to the start of OIF and the entire world; except you apparently, knew about it.
In all seriousness, I knew of this meeting but evidently misunderstood about a supposed second one--or it's still secret. :-)
Yeah. I see your point - and of it is exactly right. This is Iranian payback.

Regrettably, the latter endeavor has been a total failure.

To support the launch of the all-new Honda Civic, we ustilised music to express how the many different parts of the Honda Civic work together like a symphony in motion. From this insight, Civic Sounds was born - A digital soundboard created entirely from parts of the Civic.
To kickstart the campaign, award-winning band Bluejuice composed the first Civic Sounds track to inspire others to create their own. Using the soundboard, people made their own melody and beat from parts of the Civic, adjusting the tempo and adding effects.
Their unique track was recorded, hosted on SoundCloud and a film clip based around the Civic automatically generated based on the track's unique algorithm. The best track won a trip to Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, the home of Honda.

Looks like nothing is going to happen today unless a sudden buyout is announced. imo
Actually the options expire on Saturday.
Bizarre things happen on OPEX but for ACI to bounce like most stocks, and most coal stocks did and now the market and coal stocks to go limp, is Bizarre. ACI was up 4% now 4cents. BTU ANR CLF all weak as are Rails , NSC in la toilette. Norfolk Southern new Low Of Year.
Wow!! Was something supposed to happen?

As far as first impressions go, things could not have been
more amicable between opera singer Jud Arthur and Cezanne.
''That's the first time I have met him, but judging by the
look in his eye he seems pretty calm,'' Mr Arthur said, when
he met Cezanne at Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium yesterday.
The pair will perform a European dressage display and a
cowboy dressage display while Mr Arthur sings from horseback
in a toreador outfit during Ride the Rhythm at the stadium
''It'll be fun. These sort of ad hoc opportunities are always
great,'' he said.
''It's a bit different from my usual performance.''
The former Otago rugby player also represented New Zealand in
showjumping in his younger days.
''I don't ride too much these days, so hopefully I won't fall
off and embarrass myself.''
Working with animals made for a ''one-off performance'' as
''it's not something you can rehearse and rehearse''.
''It's always a bit different when there's a crowd and other
horses around. There's different variables that come into it
and it will be different each time,'' he said.
He had performed a ''similar kind of thing for the New
Zealand dressage championships'' and was looking forward to
the show.
''It's lovely to combine two of my passions, the equestrian
side of my life and the singing side of my life, and to bring
them together is a unique opportunity.''
He felt vocally prepared for the show as he had just spent a
''fairly intense'' five months performing Wagner's Ring Cycle
in Melbourne and there was ''a little bit less riding'' on
today's performance.
However, he did not ''want to be dumped on my butt as I'm
singing along''.
Mr Arthur now lived in Sydney and said he relished the chance
to come home.
''I love coming back to Dunedin ... I will always be an Otago
lad ... I will always be a Highlanders supporter.''
