He's a level 5 Khajiit Nightblade named after my dead cat. He'll be my representative in the world of Tamriel as I spend the next several weeks playing The Elder Scrolls Online for review. Advertisement I created Rande last night, after picking up a copy of the digital standard version of the game directly from Bethesda in order to take advantage of the five day head start afforded such purchasers. Tomorrow begins the three days of early access granted those who preordered the game anywhere else, leading up to the game's full launch on April 4. This staggered access should give players and the Zenimax Online folks a good idea of how well the game servers will hold up to a heavy load, in case the multiple beta stress tests held over the past few months weren't enough. Right now the game is running smooth and buttery for me, with no noticeable lag or obvious bugginess. I like that in an MMO launch. Advertisement As for my gameplay plan, it's hard to say. Right now Rande is dealing with a book obsession, increasing random skills by entering every building he sees and raiding the bookshelves for undiscovered tomes. I'm sure he'll snap out of it soon. I'll be posting a series of three or four weekly logs of my progress, beginning this weekend, leading up to our full review. That's how we do MMO reviews — a couple days live plus beta experience just isn't enough. Stay tuned for much more on Rande's adventures in Tamriel!Reply94 repliesLeave a reply

Thanks for helping!
One of Chch's best overall dining experiences. New restaurant is great and food & service continue to be first class. If you have not been go, and always leave room for dessert.
We visited this restaurant last Sunday evening, as a treat for my birthday. What an experience, from start to finish could not fault anything. The service, ambiance, food wine, were top notch, My husband who has visited many French restaurants around the world voted this in top five. We will return
We had dinner 2 years ago on our last visit to CHCH at their old location and it was gtreat, now the new location is a little to new the food still very French and good with French service.
Different but worthwhile.
Bonjour Tony M,
Thank you very much for your support and review.
Look forward to seeing again.
My wife and I have always enjoyed the food and top service, this visit was no exception. We have eaten at the original cbd address then after the earthquake we followed to Papanui a slight larger premise and now to their very modern larger premise in St Asaph street the food and service has always been consistent.
Excellent diverse french...
Had a group of 13 and managed to get us a big table sorted so we could sit together.
Got welcomed with a bday drink for all of us which was nice.
Had the option of degustation or al a carte and we went with al a carte.
Everyone enjoyed there food, other than the beef was way to salty...
Bonjour liverisky,
We are delighted that your party enjoyed their time with us and we hope to see you again.
We visited St Germain on our first night in Christchurch and so glad we chose there! Although a little bit hard to find in a sort of new industrial block, the experience of finding this gem and walking into a cosy bar was great. I could tell the tables next to us were almost all French.
We had the escargot,...
Bonjour June L
Thank you very much for your comments, I think you should move to Christchurch and come to see you again. Hopefully will see you again.
Have to agree with MrsJimE that the new premises have delivered a ambience that is way above the old worn atmosphere of Papanui Rd.
We enjoyed an early meal and could not fault any of the food or service. Tricky to find the entrance - it is around the back and through the blue door and upstairs.
Bon Appetite
Good morning NZ Foodie02,

Another State National Guard Unit Is Coming Home Early From Cheap NFL Hat
AnotherState national guard unit is coming home early from afghanistan?An apparent reflection of theShrinking u.S. footprint as the warSlowly draws to a close. At a yet-To-Be-Announced date in december, the 198th signal battalion, most of which arrived in afghanistan in early june, will begin returning to the united states.It?Ll do so in stages, over a period of three months, as forward operating bases where the unit is operating are shut down, delaware national guard officials said friday. ?AsWe start to draw down, just likeWe did in iraq,We come back to the major bases,?Said maj.Gen.Frank vavala, the state guard?S top officer. ?We?Ll come back to the large cities, like kandahar.As they bring down those?Fobs?And have no need for communication out there, and the engineers start to take down that infrastructure, those people will return back to the battalion.And then they?Ll be available for redeployment back home.? This?Phased?Return means that some, perhaps most, members of the 432-Member communications unit?Roughly 130 of whom are based in south carolina?Will be spending only seven or eight months in theater.A standard army rotation in afghanistan lasts nine months. In lateSeptember, theState guard?S 153rd military police company came back from afghanistan more than a month early.U.S. Central CommandSaid the early return was the result of officials trying to meet force requirements while juggling deploymentSchedules? a task that will no doubt become trickier as theScheduled December 2014 withdrawal of allU.S.Combat forces draws nearer. Officials declined to provide specific dates or more specific timeframes for the 198th?S return, citing the fluidity of work remaining to be done as well Nike Nick Folk Jersey as security concerns.Each returning group will likely contain troops from both delaware and south carolina, vavala said. All returning personnel will first fly to fort bliss, texas, where the unit assembled for pre-Mobilization training in april before flying to afghanistan, for demobilization activities that can last as long as two weeks.Each group will fly to its respective home state once its demobilization activities are complete, according to lt.Col.Len gratteri, the delaware guard?S spokesman. (Page 2 of 2) That means, however,
that the first group, if it lands at bliss anywhere from mid-December onward, might not arrive back home until january. The 198th is providing communications support?The installation and maintenance of telephones, radio, computers, as well as the hard-Wiring of infrastructure and help desk support?To international security assistance force troops in multiple locations throughout afghanistan, often operating in remote forward bases. ?In layman?S terms, they are the comcast triple play for the army,?Said command sgt.Maj.Bob miller, the delaware guard?S senior enlisted soldier. ?They provide all the voice and data communications for wherever the customer is.? The gear the unit took to afghanistan?And will bring to fort bliss?Filled 17 c-5 cargo jets, he said. As the troops prepare to come home, some could face a harsh reality?The lack of a full-Time job.About 60 of the 300-Odd delaware members of the 198th do not currently have a full-Time civilian job, according to christine kubik, the state guard?S employer support specialist. ?They?Re anxious,?Kubik said. ? Coming home,They?Re starting to.Ask about applying for positions.? Affected troops in afghanistan spend downtime hours attending job workshops and looking online for job leads, kubik said.She also sends the unit?Job e-Alerts.? The high degree of technical skills and certifications within Cheap NFL Hat the unit, and the current demand for such skills, should help ease matters. ?I think that they?Ll have an easier time,?Kubik said.

"A Cavernous Story!"
Family, Good, Evil
First Time LIstening to Richard Poe... Great Narrator.
Laughed Out Loud at parts and it made me very introspective.
A great sweeping story about family, good and evil. It's a thinking man or woman's story. It's not just a hole, nor even a well. It's a cavern, with millions of passages and it goes on to depths of an unknown end. It had me laughing out loud at parts and accidentally awaking my lovely bride from her slumber. It nevered made me shed a tear, but it definitely makes one reflect and think on one's own struggles, accomplishments, joys and sorrows.
I listened to East of Eden as an audiobook, narrated by Richard Poe and thoroughly enjoyed him as a narrator and storyteller.
I only opted for four stars only because it did not leave me with an, "Oh my gosh" feeling at its ending, but It did grant me with a great sense of accomplishment and many life thoughts upon its closure.
In my opinion John Steinbeck is one of, if not the, best authors of all time.
Brad Jensen
"Only on ch 10 and I am loving it."
I read the print a long time ago and loved it, but an accident has messed up my ability to read. I have problems recognizing even the simplest of words (periodically, not constantly). I finally got the nerve to listen to the text and I am loving it.
I haven't reache him, yet, but I know the story well. Lee is my favorite. His inquisitiveness and open-mindedness makes him feel like a kindred spirit to me.
He is giving each character that I have experienced equal emphasis, but I am still early in the book.
There is a line that I know I will react to. Shortly after Sam Hammelton's death, there Iis an exchange between Adam and Lee. Lee needs time off. What for? "I want to scatter devil papers," Lee said. "I want to put a little roast pig on the grave of my father." Because of the level of friendship Samuel and he had reached, I always felt that he intended to do that ritual on Sam's grave to ease him in to the after life. It also reminds me of the loss of my grand father, so that line, in particular, will make me cry. Timshel is also a concept that I find very moving.
While Richard's voice is a little higher in the tenor range than I would prefer it (doesn't have to be a James Earl Jones kinda basso, but...), I am definitely getting used to it. He is doing a fine job telling the story. Note that this is my first direct experience with an audiobook. I should have tried this years ago, but I feared having some problems with short term memory.
"Don't Stop 1/2 Way Through"
I would recommend this audio book to a friend because of the message shared throughout the 2nd half of the book.
I found the ending to be incredibly meaningful. The sections of the book that deal with philosophy and human nature are incredibly insightful and at times inspiring. Steinbeck seems to know human nature so well, and to be able to put it into words artfully. It was also incredible at how well he captured the time period covered in the book.
Brink of madness. I always felt, every character, was on the brink of insanity, based on how the narrator spoke. It is Steinbeck, so it wasn't far from the truth, however, it was somewhat exhausting to listen to.
I felt the first 1/2 of the book to be somewhat overly long and without direction. It was somewhat interesting, but I felt Steinbeck could have set-up the 2nd 1/2 of the book in a quicker way and achieved the same result. This book is geared at an adult audience and takes a candid approach to adult situations and themes like prostitution, whore houses, sex, suicide, mental illness, abortion and murder.
"great book"
This is a great book. it helps to listen and to read simultaneously. I AM A GOD
East of Eden is, hands down, my favorite book of all time. I've listened to it three times now, at different times of my own experiences, and it always has me enthralled with its magnificent and thought provoking story.
"Give me a second to take it in..."
Absolutely loved the book. I am not a reader and have just started listening to some of the classics...this was such a thought provoking book for me I can honestly say it was life changing, the narrator was great as well.
That being said, the production company didn't give me even half a second to take in the final line. Immediately a voice came on and gave me "I hope you enjoyed...." And it ruined the moment. Just give me 5 seconds please!!!
"An emotional ride."
I love Steinbeck and if you do too, this one won't disappoint. East of Eden is at times long winded, but the foundations he lays in the side stories are so important to the context of the era and characters. I laughed out loud multiple times and cried at least three others.
I only found myself zoning out the narrator's performance a handful of times, but i find that quite impressive considering it's over 24 hours of audio.
My only negative is that I've finished it.
"All time fav book"
Loved everything minute about Steinbeck's East of Eden, didn't want this epic story to end.
This is perhaps the greatest American novel ever written and this performance is brilliant. I can't say more than that.
"What Can I Possibly Add..."
This is a truly remarkable novel. In my opinion it is Steinbeck's best. If he had only written one book and this was it, that would be the only thing he need do to solidify his place among the greatest novelist of the 20th Century.

An evacuation order which had been in effect for the Globe and Mail building at 444 Spadina Avenue has been lifted.
The order was given at around 3.pm. on Friday afternoon after a bomb threat was phoned in by a male caller.
Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) officers and K-9 units responded to the scene and a command post had been set up in the area, however after an extensive search of the building and surrounding areas, the all clear was given at around 6.p.m.
Roads in the area had also been closed for a time but have since reopened to traffic.
Update: our CBRN team has advised that all is clear. No bomb, or threat to public safety. Roads will be re-opened momentarily.^adc

On January 16, 2014 at 8:40am EST, we said the following of Nu Skin Enterprises (NYSE:NUS):
"If the stock closes below $79.28 then the price should vacillate at or below the rising conservative SRL in the medium-term. If the stock manages to close above the $79.28 level then the upside target is $118.92. Additionally, the extreme downside target of $46.83 is just on the horizon. In theory, this stock should achieve the extreme downside level before hardened speculators will jump in."
On August 6, 2014, NUS declined as low as $43.50 and closed at $46.52. An updated Speed Resistance Line is included below:
NUS has met our January 2014 call for the extreme downside target of $46.83. It is at this point that NUS becomes interesting to hardened speculators. Based on Gould's SRL, NUS has an upside targets of $82.73 and $118.92.
Disclosure: The author has no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in NUS over the next 72 hours.

FINAL FANTASY III was originally available only in Japan for the Nintendo Entertainment System. FINAL FANTASY III is considered the missing title in the world-renowned series. Now, 17 years after its Japanese debut, Australian fans will be able to savour the legendary adventure for the first time.
FINAL FANTASY III has been made anew on the Nintendo DS platform, including new graphics in 3D, rebalanced jobs, and brand new characterisation for the four young heroes, who are now more dynamic than ever.
With an innovative interface using the DS touch screen, along with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, players can now experience the title that introduced the popular moogles, summons and the dynamic job system to the FINAL FANTASY series.
Protected by the crystals of light, the once peaceful land has forever been changed by the great tremor.

I will be in Florence for 2 weeks and want to take a multi-day cooking class (preferably spread out over the period). I have found lots of 1 day courses, plus a school called InTavola, which got one good review on these boards more than 2 years ago.
I've checked SlowTravel w/o success. Anyone have good suggestions? Also --I can't afford to spend $1,000 or more -- i'm looking for something more in the range of $5-600.

Michael Cole, the bouffant-haired front-man for Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed, stepped down yesterday, sparking the kind of conspiracy theories he had fostered under his master since the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, and Dodi Fayed. "Did he fall or was he pushed?" was the question being bounced around media circles after the world's most famous department store unexpectedly announced his retirement at the age of 55.
Harrods and Mr Cole, a former BBC Royal Correspondent, issued a joint statement which said the departure was amicable and mutual. But the subsequent unavailability of Mr Cole fanned the flames of speculation. Not only had the announcement been timed to coincide with a Cole family holiday at a secret location, but his home and mobile telephone numbers also went dead. It was an abrupt end to a morbidly momentous year for Mr Cole, who joined Harrods as director of public affairs in 1988 after 27 years as a journalist.
He had borne a huge responsibility in the weeks after the deaths of Diana and Dodi. Some would argue the role was made more difficult because it involved repeating Mr Fayed's insistence that Henri Paul, driver of the car in which the princess and Mr Fayed's son died, had not been drinking excessively. A post-mortem examination showed he was over the limit and had been taking prescription drugs.
More recently, Mr Fayed's claims that the couple were murdered and that he was told of Diana's "last words" - words which doctors said were never uttered - may have sat awkwardly with Mr Cole's instincts as a former journalist.
During his time with Mr Fayed, Mr Cole projected the smooth, sophisticated face of Harrods. Those who have met Mr Fayed know that he is prone to lapse into expletives and raucous anecdotes. During interviews it was not unusual for Mr Cole to interrupt, reminding the diminutive Egyptian that he hadn't meant to say one thing but had really intended to say another. His firefighting exploits on behalf of Mr Fayed involved projecting the Egyptian's argument in his fight over Harrods with arch-enemy Tiny Rowland during the 1980s. They included denying a Department of Trade and Industry report which branded Mr Fayed a liar.
On the battle went throughout the 1990s, Mr Cole voicing the Egyptian's ire at not being granted British citizenship. Then came the fight against the establishment; paying Tory MPs to ask questions and then exposing them.
Next came complicity in the Guardian's battle against Jonathan Aitken, former arms procurement minister, and his denials - shown in court to have been lies - that he was entertained at Mr Fayed's Ritz Hotel by Saudi arms dealers. Mr Cole began his career in newspapers before moving into independent television and the BBC. He left 20 years later after telling a number of tabloid reporters details of a secret viewing of the Queen's Christmas speech.
The disclosure was not an unprofessional one - it was the sort of confidence shared by specialist journalists all the time. But the confidence was not kept and the details were splashed over the papers the following day. His position became untenable, but few believed he would leave journalism for ever.
He was not universally popular with those who had to deal with him. He dished out information like favours and was known for his tendency to be smooth to the point of obsequiousness.
And he was slavishly loyal to Mr Fayed, even when the Egyptian's treatment of him appeared to observers to be less than respectful. Once, an Independent on Sunday journalist was critical of the store after being shown around by Mr Cole. During the visit, the journalist was asked by Mr Fayed if he had children. When he replied `yes', Mr Fayed ordered Mr Cole to fetch a small teddy bear and a coffee table book on The Ritz hotel for the journalist.
When the critical article appeared, Mr Cole wrote to the newspaper asking for the gifts back. The book was returned but the bear had already been given to the child and, with the permission of The Independent's editor, it was retained. For several weeks, Mr Cole wrote at the behest of Mr Fayed asking for the teddy bear back.
On another occasion, a colleague and I visited Mr Fayed as part of efforts to prove that a former minister had accepted diamonds from businessmen for services rendered. We believed Mr Fayed knew the woman buying the diamonds from the MP and asked him to make a phone call to her.
But he could stay on the subject for only a few minutes. Very quickly the conversation moved on to a friend of the woman's. "You tell her," said Mr Fayed, "that Mohamed wants to fuck her. But tell her she must be a virgin. Mohamed only fucks virgins." Mr Cole, presumably wondering why he ever took the job, waved his arms in front of the Egyptian tycoon, who chuckled and carried on regardless.

PA - Megan's Law changes creating controversy - More punishment and non-sex crimes being added
Labels: ExPostFacto , MegansLaw , Pennsylvania , Video
Changing the laws that affect someone after the fact is an unconstitutional ex post facto law which the Constitution forbids, but when the government is corrupt, anything is possible. It also is a violation of the contracts clause.
PITTSBURGH - In three weeks, the state's Megan's Law registry is going to change. New laws will protect the public from even more sexual predators for even longer periods of time.
It sounds like a logical change, but as Target 11 investigator Rick Earle learned, it's only creating controversy.
Lawmakers said the tougher restrictions are designed to keep communities safe, but defense attorneys said they go way too far and target people who've already had their day in court.
To this day, [name withheld] maintains his innocence, so why did he plead no contest to indecent assault?
"With having a public defender and already having a record being on parole, what chance did I have?" said [name withheld].
Earle asked, "So you thought you had two strikes against you?"
"I had the whole deck of cards against me," said [name withheld].
For the last nine years, his picture and address have been posted on the Megan's Law website. It was supposed to be removed next year, but because of sweeping new changes to Megan's Law, he will remain on the website for at least 15 more years and possibly even longer.
- Which is unconstitutional and additional punishment!
"My family has a lot of get-togethers that I can't go to because of my picture being on the computer," said [name withheld].
Right now, sex offenders either register for 10 years or life.
The new system will divide them into three categories -- 15 years, 25 years or life.
Plus, certain crimes, like invasion of privacy and unlawful restraint, will now be added to Megan's Law, and the crimes don't have to be sexual in nature.
- Hell, why don't we also put all other criminals on the registry, and instead of calling it the "sex" offender registry, call it the "Sinners" registry, which would be more accurate.
These changes apply to anyone currently serving time or on parole or probation.
"It's going to open a can of worms," said defense attorney Phil Dilucente.
- The can of worms was opened many years ago.
Dilucente represents a number of clients who will now be forced to register as sex offenders -- something they weren't told at sentencing.
"When you have any type of law that's passed and there is retroactivity, where there's punitive punishment for laws that people have already been convicted for, that, in and of itself, is problematic," said Dilucente.
- Yes, it's an unconstitutional ex post facto law.
State police tell Target 11 they expect an additional 1,500 to 2,500 offenders will be added to the database under these new rules. About 500 of them will be in Allegheny County.
- The more people they have on the registry, the more money there is to be made.
"I do think it's fair. The law is a little tougher, and I'm not going to sit here and apologize for making a tougher law to protect our kids from predators," said state Sen. Kim Ward of Hempfield Township.
- But it doesn't protect anybody, it only makes you look good to the sheeple, and it's also a violation of your oath of office.
The new law also closes a major loophole that allowed out-of-state sex offenders to come to Pennsylvania without registering.
"You're not just a predator in one state if you are a predator, so we need to know who is here, where they are, are they near our schools, and what are they doing," said Ward.
"I'm more or less kind of disappointed because I lost a lot of friends and family members," said [name withheld].
Some defense attorneys have told Earle they are gearing up to challenge the law. Lawmakers said they are confident it will stand up in a court of law.

Whenever I read where some one says they are making the community safer I have to wonder how. Each new sex offender law or change that has been enacted has never produced any results. Still we have the same number of new offences each year committed by people not registered. The fact that before they had registries the number that would re-offend was the same as after they created the registry one has to wonder how someone can say this has made a difference in public safety. If you discount the fact that ex-offenders are part of the same public your protecting you can also discount the harm it caused. Politicians want you to believe they are on your side. They are there for you. Just look how they are protecting your children. Surely they are doing a good job. Fact is politicians use smoke and mirrors to get elected. The ones that must play the sex offender card should be looked at very closely because if this very tired horse needs to be re-beaten once again they really don't have any idea what they are doing. to say they must know where offenders are and what they are doing sounds great. But they can't. only thing they can do is make a law on paper. As long as people have feet and can use them you have no idea where they are. Even having an address does no good as long as they are free. So does this mean there is a loophole? Should we make a new law to fix this? Maybe we should make it illegal for ex-offenders to be in possession of their feet. Then we will be safe. They won't be able to move from the address. Oh wait these guys are tricky. new law They can not own a wheel chair either. Now we are safe. Nope someone carried them out of their home. Another loophole. New law anyone aiding a sex offender will be placed on the registry. now we are safe. frustrating as for every new law to somehow close a loophole more are made. Well politicians keep creating new and better laws and finally we will be safe. What we really need is a anti stupid politician law. Anyone running for or is in office that shows any sign of not having common sense will be removed or banned from public office, Now we are safe.

I read that and honestly can see you steaming mad. Don't worry you arnt the only one who is, so we are happy with what you have to say.. On the lighter side there is more people on the list that will weigh it down like you said. Those people who haven't done a sex offense are gonna really be upset.. Mabey there will be a shana Rowan in that crowd to help everyone's cause.

all you people who are snowed under right now, here is a glimpse of
spring. Don't be too jealous
though. We have just survived 143
days without a drop of rain, and we still have to survive four months of temperatures
over 105 degrees F. Our greatest
fear is that the drought will lead to water rationing where we won't be
allowed to irrigate our gardens. Of
course, people are still tearing up our beautiful Sonoran desert to build more
subdivisions with artificial lakes and fountains.
is a row that I lined out two years ago.
The parents are Mariposa Skies X Pacific Belle. This seedling is a rebloomer. I'm glad I have seven clumps here,
because it looks as though two of them are going to bloom out.

Find Affordable Auto Insurance
Many people overpay for auto insurance. Here are a few ways to get a cheap rate.
• Get quotes regularly. Your rates should go down over time as your car or truck depreciates and your driving record improves. If not, negotiate a lower rate, or get quotes from other companies.
• Compare quotes accurately. Rates can vary greatly depending on the level of coverage offered. When comparing rates, make sure that the insurance offered is equivalent. Keep in mind that state minimum insurance may not protect you completely.
• Discuss your options. Talk with an agent to determine if collision, comprehensive, or personal injury protection are a good value. Individual insurance needs vary greatly.

The place for everything that doesn't have a home elsewhere on RogerEbert.com, this is a collection of thoughts, ideas, snippets, and other fun things that Roger and others posted over the years.
We're incredibly proud to present a book excerpt from the brand-new "Robert De Niro: Anatomy of an Actor" by Glenn Kenny, a film critic whom we are honored to call one of our own. In the book published by Cahiers Du Cinema and Phaidon, Kenny analyzes De Niro's career through ten roles—"Bang the Drum Slowly," "Mean Streets," "The Godfather, Part II," "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull," "The King of Comedy," "Midnight Run," "Awakenings," "Meet the Parents," and "Stone." The publisher was kind enough to share an excerpt from the second chapter on De Niro's work as Johnny Boy in the Martin Scorsese classic. Click here to buy a copy of the book.
A tension hangs over "Mean Streets" like a pall, even in the scenes in which De Niro doesn't appear, or is not the central focus. Worse and worse things keep happening. A drunk is shot to death in the men's room by an assassin who, in a theatrical flourish, pulls his hippie-long hair from under his coat before plugging his victim in the back (the assassin and victim are played by Robert and David Carradine, respectively; Scorsese worked with brother David on "Boxcar Bertha.") A Vietnam vet freaks out at his homecoming party at Tony's, after Charlie's epic drunk (conveyed via a traveling shot that anticipates Spike Lee's notorious disembodied-walking shots, and scored to the novelty tune "Rubber Biscuit," which never sounded more sickly) at that party. Teresa suffers a bad epileptic seizure in a stairwell. All the while Johnny Boy's debt to Michael grows. ("Twenty dollars doesn't pay the interest for two hours," Michael tells Charlie when Charlie offers him some cash. "Now with the vig it's almost three thousand.") And all Johnny Boy can do is stand on a rooftop firing a gun at a clothesline belonging to a woman he hates "with a passion."
These events wind up playing like omens. And the tension breaks with De Niro's most bravura piece of acting in the film. "I got nothing," Johnny Boy protests to Charlie after the two fight, for real this time (previously we saw them horsing around with garbage pail lids, another bit of improv from Keitel and De Niro). Out of options, Johnny Boy has visited Charlie's mobster uncle, who's already reprimanded Charlie about his relationship with Johnny. Now he's got to show up for Michael, who's already hired an enforcer of sorts (a hood Charlie calls "Shorty," played by Scorsese himself; he said in 1974 that casting himself saved money and admitted he was also keen to handle a gun on film) and who will not be pleased at Johnny Boy's lack of funds. Waxing repentant and fatalistic for Charlie, he completely changes his attitude once Michael shows up at Tony's. Standing behind the bar, fake-apologizing to Michael for keeping him waiting, he has the same grin, the same syncopated, quick manner of speech, as he displayed in his initial conquering-hero, court-jester stance at the bar. But there's been a fundamental shift. The imp is now a full-blown nihilist. "You know something Mikey? You make me laugh, you know that? You know, I borrow money all over this neighborhood, left and right, from every body"—De Niro pronounces "everybody" as two words, giving special stress to "body," as if turning a screw—"I never pay them back, so I can't borrow no money from no body no more, right, so who does that leave me to borrow money from but you. I borrow money from you because you're the only jerkoff around here…" and here he grins, very wide… "that I can borrow money from without paying back." He holds a ten-dollar bill in his hand and puts a lighter to it. "Because, you know, that's what you are. That's what I think of you. A jerkoff."
Scorsese says "We did the climactic scene where Bobby suddenly pulls a gun on Richard Romanus on the next to last day of shooting. Something had happened between Bobby and Richard that was real, and I played on it." According to Romanus, "In the scene where Bobby insults me, where he tells me I was stupid to lend him money in the first place, I started to laugh. Bobby got angry. He thought I should be angry, which I was, but by laughing I was saving face. He thought I should be fuming but he had no control over my reactions. Sometimes the reaction you get from your acting partner is not the reaction you want. Then you simply have to react off that."
As riveting as De Niro is, the reactions of the other actors/characters are fascinating too. Everybody knows that it's all over but the shooting, as it were. Charlie can't believe what's happening, while Proval's Tony almost acts like a sidekick to Johnny Boy at the beginning of his monologue, raising his eyebrows after a particular zinger. As Johnny Boy sets fire to the bill, he makes his final declaration of principles: "And I'll tell you something else, Mikey. I fuck you right where you breathe, 'cause I don't give two shits about you or nobody else."
Johnny is putting the last nail in his coffin, and he follows this with one more gesture of bravado, the pulling of the gun, which Michael says Johnny doesn't have "the guts" to use. This is what one could conceivably call "very punk rock." It is likely a complete coincidence that the debut album by the proto-punk band the New York Dolls was released only a few months before Mean Streets hit theaters. But one doesn't have to look too far beneath the big hair and the glitter-rock trappings to see the don't-give-a-fuck affinity between Johnny Thunders (born John Anthony Genzale Jr., in Queens), that band's guitarist, and De Niro's Johnny Boy. The pre-punk affinity is prophesied more clearly, and threateningly, in Travis Bickle's mohawk in "Taxi Driver." By that time Thunders had ditched the Dolls and formed his own Heartbreakers, whose anti-anthemic "Born To Lose" could have served as Johnny Boy's theme music just as aptly as "Jumpin' Jack Flash." In Jim Jarmusch's 1984 "Stranger Than Paradise," the goofball Lower East Sider protagonists, played by Richard Edson (onetime drummer for Sonic Youth) and John Lurie (founder of "fake jazz" combo The Lounge Lizards) both sport cheap imitations of Johnny Boy's hat. The image of Johnny Boy grinning as he points the gun was reproduced so many times, in so many contexts, it became not just a part of the iconography of cinema, but of New York City itself during this period.
The last we see of Johnny Boy he is staggering out of an alleyway, holding his hand to his neck, trying to stop it from bleeding; Michael has extracted his payment by having "Shorty" shoot him from a moving car, into the moving car in which Charlie, Teresa, and Johnny Boy are trying to escape from the city. As a cop car pulls into the frame, Johnny Boy, a poignant figure for the first time, collapses. We don't know whether he's going to live or die. But he has left a mark.

EFT 99 Is Not Expected to Affect Year 2000 Remediation Efforts
AIMD-98-272R: Published: Aug 28, 1998. Publicly Released: Aug 28, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed whether the Electronic Funds Transfer 99 (EFT 99) program is interfering with the capacity of the Financial Management Service (FMS) and financial institutions to complete year 2000 remediation efforts.
GAO noted that: (1) EFT 99 requirements are not expected to affect FMS' year 2000 remediation efforts; (2) FMS has made payments electronically for many years and thus the applications software and telecommunications infrastructure necessary for initiating electronic payments and transmitting them to financial institutions are already in place; (3) the process of converting recipients from paper to electronic payment is relatively easy and is done by the program agencies; (4) FMS does not expect to make any system changes in preparation for EFT 99; (5) EFT 99 requirements should also not affect FMS year 2000 efforts because converting benefit recipients from paper to electronic payment is a relatively easy process that is conducted by program agencies, not FMS; (6) the volume of unbanked benefit recipients who will need to be switched from paper to electronic payments is likely to be much less than originally planned because of the Department of the Treasury's recently announced waivers to the regulation; (7) initially, FMS and Treasury expected that when the electronic transfer accounts (ETA) became available, most benefit recipients without a bank account would be converted from paper to electronic payment; (8) FMS' Assistant Commissioner for Federal Finance said that given the new waiver policy, he estimates that prior to the year 2000 only 20 to 30 percent of recipients without bank accounts will switch to using ETAs; (9) like FMS, the year 2000 conversion efforts of financial institutions are not expected to be affected by EFT 99; (10) the systems infrastructure for receiving electronic payments from FMS through the Federal Reserve is already established and many institutions already offer accounts that are similar to those being proposed for the ETAs; (11) the financial institutions said that if conflicts do arise between completing year 2000 efforts or offering ETAs, they will not offer ETAs; (12) some financial institutions expressed concern that because the account structure for ETAs has not yet been announced, they cannot determine how much system development will be necessary to tailor their accounts to meet ETA account specifications; (13) these institutions said that the longer that the definition of ETAs is delayed, the more likely it is that banks will not initially offer the accounts; (14) Treasury originally expected to announce the ETA account structure in the spring of 1998, then delayed it until the summer of 1998; and (15) Treasury officials now expect to announce the structure in the fall of 1998 and estimate that accounts will become available in 1999.

The trailer industry booked 22,300 net orders in the U.S. during May, according to new figures published by the commercial vehicle research company ACT Research.
"May net orders rose 52% year over year," said Frank Maly, director, commercial vehicle transportation analysis and research at ACT. "Backlog, build, inventory and shipments were all off from April, but the changes were minimal, all less than 1% on a month over month basis."
He said this stability provides a solid foundation for the industry as it moves into the summer and fall build season.
Maly said that production rates should remain relatively unchanged over the next few months and the order board should continue to support the industry to the next order season this coming fall.

In 1965 the Northern Rock Building Society was formed as a consequence of union between the two North East building societies. The bank was nationalized in 2008. Concise summary of the facts of the case In the year 2007, the country of United Kingdom experienced the bank run for the first time in over 140 years. At that time the bank under consideration was not significantly large as it was ranked 7th taking the total assets in consideration. But the bank played a significant role in retail banking business. The bank also had its mark as a mortgage lender. About a decade ago, the bank transformed itself from a mutual building society to retail deposits as well as mortgages. The depositors queued outside the bank to withdraw the deposits. It was feared that it could shed its impact on the deposits of the bank. After repeated attempted failures to secure a purchaser operating in the private sector, the government took the initiative to nationalize the bank. The bank now operates as a bank that is fully owned by the state. Since then, the government has acquired substantial stakes of equity in other banks of Britain as a part of the general program of re-capitalization (Llewellyn, n.d. p. 1). ...
