Bands & Activities
Jesse Labelle
On "Perfect Accident", He was just warming up. With his new Wax Records sophomore album "Two", Jesse Labelle is taking control.
Packed and loaded with such irresistibly captivating and emotionally resonant songs as "One Last Night," "No Moment We Stop" and the first single, "Heartbreak Coverup," the romantically sensitive pop singer and handwriter has entered an even deeper level of intensity with his new 11-song set, analyzing the whole aspect of amorous commitment.
Jesse, a radio, MuchMusic and MuchMoreMusic favorite who conquered the airwaves in 2009 with the Top 5 hits "Easier" and "Last Christmas," says "Two" is very much a concept album.
"There's very much a vibe I'm trying to capture from start to finish here," says Jesse, who thrilled audiences from coast-to-coast on MuchMusic's memorable Soda Pop tour with Alyssa Reid and Emily Osment a few summers back and performed at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. "I wanted to look at the yin and yang of love"
A songwriter since the age of 17, The Toronto-born-and based Aquarian feels that the new album reflects his growth and maturity as a songwriter and storyteller.
"Its the whole idea of two hearts as one," explains Jesse, adding that the narrative best described by a lyric from "Wont Let You Down" the opening track on the new Two:
"There's two to every story, Two sides of a heart, One that fears the end, And one that fears the start."
"In your typical romantic shape of a heart, you may not see it as such as first, but you have two sides and that's what I've come to realize about relationships," classifies Jesse.
There's a lot of push-n-pull, and it's not always perfect. There have to be ups-and-downs and this album is very much about those peaks and valleys." He's the first one to admit that Two is a more mature outlook on romantic pairing, due to a lot of personal growth and reflection in his own relationship experiences in recent years.
"Having two views - one person looking at it one way, and one looking at it the other way - I've learnt that the general sense of 'love' is achieved over a longer time by working on it towards a similar goal," he concludes. Predominately produced my Thomas "Tawgs" Salter (Lights, Midway State, Fefe Dobson) with three tracks helmed by Jason Lehning (Mat Kearney) and another by Jeff "Diesle" Dalziel (Alyssa Reid's "Alone Again",) "Two" sonically analyzes the evolution of romance right from the first note of "Wont Let You Down."
Nowhere is that more evident than on the album's first single, "Heartbreak Coverup," co written by Luke McMaster, Rob James and Tawgs Salter and featuring a guest cameo by Alyssa Reid, as a page ripped from the reality of Jesse's personal life.
"Heartbreak Coverup' is my real life break up song, "Jesse admits. "It's a look at a break up from a darker and argueably more realistic and selfish side of things. We all try to get over someone, and sometimes we throw ourselves under the bus as we try to cancel out the pain we're feeling at this time.
"That includes drunken nights, pleasding phone calls and the lonely parties for one, that we throw ourselves to try and forget what we lost... especially when we know we made a mistake." But not all the songs deal with self-flagellation. The songs on "Two" run the gamut from the happiness of discovery and the joy of involvement to the sadness of loneliness, but there's also a humorous streak that emphasizes Mr. Labelle's ability to deliver clever lyrical twists.

"One Last Night' is one of the more fun songs on the album." Jesse declares.
"It's all about the proposed 'End Of Days' that is supposed to occur on December 21,2012, and everyone has their own theories, of course, about the Mayan calendar and the supposed end of the world. "This song is a tongue-in-cheek look at that: about having one more night before the sky falls in the indulge in everything you wanted to do: one last attempt to end the world on a high note."
Ever the eternal optimist, Jesse also includes plenty of room for interpretation and application with "No Moment We Stop."
"It's an upbeat and positive number about not being knocked down and shattered by failure, but looking at it as a way to rise above," he explains. "Every day that you breathe is an ability for you to have a fresh start, and moving forward is the most valuable tool we possess in time of need.
"We should always look ahead - not backwards. Hope above hard luck; love above prejudice."
With other exquisite samples of Jesse's growth in songwriting that includes "Something Amazing." "There She Goes" and "Straight Line" -- all uniquely imprinted by his gift for masterful melodies and poetic prowess - the next logical step is to bring "Two" to the stage
After an early summer UK tour with Alyssa Reid, the charismatic Jesse- who counts Keane, Crowded House, Duran Duran and pop songwriting legend Max Martin as major influences, and has also honed his concert chops touring with headliners Faber Drive, These Kids Wear Crowns and Fefe Dobson -- will be hitting various Canadian venues over the summer and lining up for a national tour in the fall.
And he'll be revealing yet another one of his many skills sets.
"I've been known for my guitar, but "Two" is very much a piano-based abum, so I'll be playing both."
As a step up in artistic maturity, "Two" will allow men and women to know the real Jesse Labelle intimately.
"Im really proud of the music I've made for this record because it's so different than the last one. The last one was very much whom I thought I wanted to be, looking at my idols at the time and thinking, 'I want to make my version of their record."
"With this album, I was pushed out of my comfort zone, and discovered something that's a lot closer to who I am.
"This the album that helps me discover what makes me, 'me.'"Back to Band Listing View Site

People do not need to be encouraged to stop thinking. We know that "Just do it!" wasn't really available anymore for this Wrangler campaign, so "Stop thinking!" had to do it.
The problem today actually is that many people do not think outside the box or outside their comfort zone, and that seems to be especially true for "them" Wrangler cowboys.

The long-term goal of this work is the discovery of novel approaches to promote or inhibit chemokine-mediated cell migration in vivo. Chemokines function through at least three distinct types of interactions: dimerization, extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan (GAG) binding, and GPCR activation. Any of these complexes may serve as targets for drug development, and engineered versions of the chemokine may have unique properties that can be exploited therapeutically. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF1/ CXCL12) and its cognate receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7 are essential for life and play unique roles in human development, HIV infection, stem cell homing and cancer progression. Development of new agents targeting SDF1 for diagnostic or therapeutic use requires a view of its functional interactions at atomic resolution. In the previous funding period, we found that interactions with GAGs and the CXCR4 receptor promote SDF1 dimerization. Unexpectedly, our functional data revealed that SDF1 dimerization creates a potent inhibitor of chemotaxis. It is now clear that, while dimerization is essential for chemokine function in vivo, only chemokine monomers are capable of full GPCR activation and chemotaxis. We recently solved the monomeric structure of SDF1 in order to resolve conflicting reports in the literature, and are now positioned to determine structures of soluble monomeric SDF1 complexes with CXCR4 and CXCR7 (specific aim 1). SDF1 is under active investigation as a treatment for prevention of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Experiments in aim 2 will define the GAG binding site on the SDF1 dimer and use this knowledge to construct monomeric SDF1 variants with enhanced cardioprotective properties. Molecules that bind SDF1 and block its activity in vivo may find utility as novel therapeutic agents. In solving the structure of a dimeric SDF1-CXCR4 complex using sulfotyrosine-modified receptor fragments, we provided the first detailed view of receptor recognition by a chemokine, paving the way for structure-based drug discovery. A new component of aim 3 proposes to screen compound libraries for inhibitors that target the chemokine ligand, using a combination of high-throughput docking calculations, validation of site-specific ligand binding by 2D NMR, and functional assays to test for inhibition of SDF1 signaling. We will also define the basis for SDF1 inhibition by a viral chemokine binding protein in aim 3. Like other chemokines, SDF1-mediated chemotaxis is maximal at 10-30 nM, but ceases above 100 nM. We speculate that, at high concentrations where chemokines no longer induce cell migration, dimerization of wild-type SDF1 promoted by receptor binding acts to suppress CXCR4-mediated chemotaxis. Experiments in Aim 4 will test our hypothesis and compare the responses for CXCR4 and CXCR7 to different oligomeric states of the chemokine ligand. We will also investigate the ability of engineered SDF1 monomers and dimers to alter disease progression in animal models for human diseases including multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, and metastatic cancer.
Chemokines orchestrate innate immune responses injury or infection, and also participate in embryonic development, stem cell homing, chronic inflammation, HIV infection and cancer metastasis. The chemokine SDF1 and other ligands for its receptor CXCR4 can block HIV-1 infection of T cells. Over 20 cancer types express CXCR4 and metastasize to tissues that secrete SDF1, including bone marrow, lung, liver and lymph nodes. Treatment with CXCR4-neutralizing antibodies reduces metastatic tumor formation in a mouse model for human breast cancer. In the previous funding period, we discovered that the dimeric form of SDF1 is a potent inhibitor of chemotaxis that can also block HIV-1 infection. This project will identify the molecular structures required for SDF1-CXCR4 cell migration and define the mechanistic basis for this novel mode of chemokine inhibition. New inhibitors and variants of SDF developed in this project will likely find application as diagnostic and therapeutic agents in a wide range of human diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and multiple sclerosis.

Interview with Stu Thomson | Director of Latest Danny Macaskill Video "The Ridge"
Trials cyclist Danny Macaskill released a new video featuring a ride through unthinkable terrain in his homeland of Scotland. The daring exploit took place on the Cuillin Ridge in the Isle of Skye, where the spectacular scenery alone is worth the price of admission. The beauty of the Scottish landscape, mixed with the technical and dangerous mountain bike riding is absolutely thrilling to watch. The pinnacle shot, where Danny climbs up a ridge with bike in tow, closes the film and solidifies Danny as a death defying badass. We reached out to the director of the film, Stu Thomson, to ask a few questions about the making of this project.

Yes, from what I have been told by other hybridizers, the pod parent must have variegated foliage . Less than 5% of the resulting seedlings will have variegated foliage. This is what have found also.
When I first tried hybridzing years ago, I did manage to get a pod on pallida variegata, commonly called ZEBRA. I crossed it with an old diploid variety. The pod only produced 6 seeds and the none of the seedling were variegated, just my luck!

Parking Space Clashes: What Can be Done to End Them?
"Drivers in New Delhi, Bangalore, Nairobi and Milan argue most over parking spaces [and] more than half of the drivers get frustrated and end up giving up on looking for parking space," according to IBMs global survey on parking space in major cities. Many have stated that Nairobi, in particular the Central Business District, does not have enough parking to meet the demand. Nairobi was ranked the 8th most difficult city to find parking in the IBM survey.
The parking debate, however, has taken different angles, with the county government increasing on-street parking fees in order to reduce demand. This resulted to an uproar by stakeholders leading to the courts putting a restraint on the increase in charges. The increase in fees also affected public transporters and a strike by the transportation industry, including matatu and taxi drivers, forced commuters to make their own way into the city. Others, however, argued that the fees should be increased even further. More vehicle use caused by a rising population and increased urban sprawl has caused this increased demand for parking spaces.
Urban planners tend to suggest two ways of solving the parking problem in cities. One is to increase the supply, by providing more parking slots. However, as a city develops with more high-rise buildings, skyscrapers and people, this becomes more unsustainable. Like road construction, it is very difficult for supply to keep up with the demand. The other option is parking management, which involves assessing urban land use, optimally utilizing available space and providing non-motorized and rapid transit alternatives so that parking demand is reduced. This holistic approach has been ignored in most African cities.
The city of Nairobi needs to look at the latter. Though the CBD already has several privately run surface level parking spaces, better parking management is required. Provision of non-motorable means of mobility and an improved rapid public transport system would reduce the demand for parking. With this, it would be possible for parking fees to be increased even to an hourly rate and get optimum returns from use of the space. More automated systems of collecting parking fees are also needed. Parking consumes land and if less parking is required, more land is available for alternative uses like wider pedestrian walkways, spaces for hawkers, loading and drop-off zones, etc. This attempt at shifting transportation behaviour will be key towards reducing the demand for parking, utilizing spaces well and creating a comfortable urban framework for citizens.
The city of Calgary, in Canada, has managed to reduce parking demand by ensuring that all buildings are built next to each other on the street-front while leaving space for parking at the back. This allows people to move from one building to another with no need for on street parking. They also have different parking zones and permit systems to take care of the different stakeholders. These include residential parking zones, parking meters and peak hour restrictions. They help in enabling easy access for people using public transportation and create a more walkable urban environment.
Many people believe that roadside parking is a basic right. In Bogotá, Colombia, former Mayor Enrique Peñalosa stated that "I was almost impeached for getting cars off sidewalks which car owning upper classes had illegally appropriated for parking." He was able to turn around Bogotá from a car centred City to a people centered city reducing parking spaces, providing alternative mobility means like bicycle lanes, sidewalks and the famous Trans-Milenio Bus Rapid Transit system.
Are there other ways African cities can handle the increased vehicular use and demand for parking? What impact does increased investment in parking have on the cost of development?

Cedarvale Iron Double Wall Sconce with Copper Shade
"Price Shown is Iron Only in Natural Black. Adding options will calculate new pricing"
Product Information
Cedarvale's strong lines and hammered textures, its softened edges and softened corners, brings to mind ancient artisans and carefully forged pieces handed down for generations. Ironworks still honors this tradition of careful craftsmanship; daily, our blacksmiths forge art furniture that can stand the test of time.
Staying true to the Cedarvale look, the double wall sconce features a textured diamond back plate and textured vertical arms curling slightly at the base. We hand-fire the copper for the 8" globes, then treat them with a special proprietary blend of mineral waters to bring out a beautiful range of patinas. No two pieces ever finish the same, which means each Cedarvale wall sconce is unique! Our coppersmiths shape and rivet the copper using centuries old tools and techniques.
The Cedarvale Collection has a wonderfully rich texture that highlights well with any special finish especially the hand rubbed finishes like bronze and copper. And these look particularly fine with copper. If you choose a copper accent, we will highlight the textured band to tie the piece together visually for a finishing touch!

Well that's a bit of hyperbole.
They said they know what they are getting into, I hope they can pull it off. I'm just pessimistic from previous official forums.
Think it's funny. There was some one crying about GW2 not having forums the last couple days then we get this. LOL

My faith in Arenanet is restored .
From the way they kept going on and on about supporting communities and what not in that thread, it sounds like they might have a twist to it.
In other words: they could still do something similar to what they did with the first game and have a limited forum (maybe support and news/patch info only) and leave the rest to the fansites while supporting them with whatever "platform" (links?) and "inclusive ecosystem" they're talking about.

Just as funny as those arguing with them about why A-net was so smart for not having one.

I actually visited the GW2Guru for the first time after reading this announcement, and my god, it was funny to read the QQ and cynism from certain GW2Guru mods in the thread about the announcement.
I think its good because of the end of GW2guru and i think its bad cause those people will go to the official forums

Mother of god....There's no pleasing you people.
Different people. It is not that hard to understand that there was one side that absolutely wanted an official forum, while there was another side that completely despised the idea. Then there are, of course, lots of people in between those extremes.
Well obvious question. Will this forum have a search function or will we be told it will and then 3 months LATE IT STILL DOES not..cough cough other game
Also I will qq if these forums are not dyanmic and change every time I view them

AWWW man You beat me to it, i so wanted to post this on a new thread AND on that other thread that claimed "they can't afford it" duh LOL
[Mod edit] Good work freedom fighting brothers. Seriously, much of a prick mod do you have to be to go through the forum and delete posts that went against your own opinion and agenda. Remember the Guru Mod's in game names.....
This is awesome...haven't been happy with guru...AT ALL.
I wonder how much they will censor their forums.
Only thing I would care about was a server forum....Could care less if they have official anything else, I mean they could just release news updates and I would be fine.
I don't spend time on a general forum for a game, unless something is usually wrong, I am tired of something broken, and such, minus a server forum...So I would of just been fine with official server forums, or even a 3rd party site hosting those...
It doesn't matter, but I didn't see doom or gloom either way...
They got their own official forum?
GW2Guru just isn't a good alternative, too many biased and immature mods. Aionsource was better as a player based general forum acting as temp official forum replacement, GW2Guru not that good.
Now it is confirmed: GW2 CE Rytlock is bigger than SWTOR CE Darth Malgus, YAY!...
Anyways, I like that they want to encourage community. I am not sure if that works, but I hope.
Completely surprising
Now I will move to there if I want a second forum instead of being banned periodically in mmorpg.com

"It sucks"

Good news. Can't wait till signups! O:
Very happy that logic won out. I'm a huge fan of GW2 and Arenanet, but I have to say I was shocked at how many fans were vehemently against official forums, just because they thought Arenanet was against official forums. It will indeed be interesting to see the whiplash in certain threads here and elsewhere.
Kudos to Arenanet not only for the decision, but for the philosophy of community management put forth by Martin Kerstein today: http://www.arena.net/blog/category/guild-wars-2
I hope the community management team has some good strategies in check to allow them to handle the community with out letting it drag them down emotionally. Fans have many opinions and often strong opinions. It's easy to dehumanize the fans and see them as enemies of one's personal happiness. Vice versa for fans as well. The Community Management teams don't exist to make fans lives miserable, they do the best they can in interfacing with the community. They don't design the game, they don't nerf your skills. They don't wield ambiguity as a sword just to annoy you.

I've never paid much attention at the moderators in gw2guru until today. Guru has been my place for most GW2 interviews and discussions. I'm just surprised to see such strong reaction from the announcement of an official forum. I do see where they are coming from, but can't they atleast wait and see how thought and research on the part of Anet would materialize
Guru Mod: all of the Guru crybabies, QQers and carebears will flood their forum with useless, uninformed dribble instead of wasting our time with it.
sounds like progress for Guru and a step back for ANet
Anet: And i am sure a lot of people might have to adjust their online behaviour, which is probably a good thing.
Guru Mod: if you simply ban everyone that acts like an asshat you won't have a community. You can't turn stupid into anything other than stupid..
Guru User: I disagree. If you ban everyone who cannot be civil in a discussion, you are left with... people who can be civil in a discussion. Which invites more people to discuss, if they feel their ideas will be met with respect.
Guru Mod: the problem here is that most of you have terrible ideas not worth discussing.
Guru User: I don't necessarily disagree, but don't you think that's more than a little condescending/insulting? I'm not saying everything needs to be sugarcoated to protect delicate egos, but a little civility rarely goes amiss...
Guru Mod: I don't work for ArenaNet. "treat everyone like they are a special unicorn that poops rainbows" is not in my job description. The fact of the matter is that the broad majority of discussions that take place on a forum are inane, mundane, usless dribble like "let's get a petition for more eye colors for the asura" or "I don't like x because it affects my ability to like y class" or "this game breaks immersion because it lacks blinking animations during combat".
A very quick way to alienate a community is to remove threads like this deeming them as useless as they actually are. Either ArenaNet can a) allow this inane, mundane, useless dribble and save all the carebears in carealot or b) delete it and alienate the community.
Guru User: I think you missed my point. I didn't say you had to treat people like rainbow-pooping unicorns; I also said that not everything had to be sugarcoated. What I did say was that a little civility doesn't hurt. If you want to close/delete a stupid thread -- and yes, I'm fully aware that most of the stuff on most forums is headdesk stupid -- then fine. Just close/delete it and be done with it. Open insults about how people are idiots and post dribble are, IMHO, unnecessary, unprofessional, and unbecoming in a moderator.
Just my two cents; I'm not looking for a fight.
Guru Mod: I believe that the fact that people take open insults as personal attacks proves they aren't very bright to begin with. IMHO, if you aren't a chin dribbling moron, you look past open insults to the point actually being made.
Anet: And just because official forums in the past have not been a nice place doesn't mean this is the way it has to be. Time for change
Guru Mod: As much as I have faith in you guys, I am unconvinced that you will be able to bend the entire internet to your will.
It's not just about stopping flaming either. That's the easy, straight forward part.
We have fairly lax quality standards due to having to cater for the lowest common denominator here (which is now your job I guess) and we still delete a whole world of threads due to low discussion quality.
And yeah, it makes us the bad guys in the eyes of a whole load of people, but we take the hit and those people go on loving anet and getting grumpy about mean old guru - but now that's in your hands. You get to be the ones who are faced with 1000 threads asking what your favourite sylvari eye colour is or petitioning arena net to add blinking into combat animations, and you get to be the bad guy who says "no, this is stupid so I'm going to close it".
Or you get to have a forum that's filled with the inane ramblings of people who think the "new thread" button is the gw2 equivalent of their facebook wall. A place that cannot be used for any serious discussion without wading through a plague of banality.
I personally don't think your moderators will be given the claws to make decisions about thread quality in the same way that an independent site can, but I will observe with interest!
Thank you for making our lives as moderators of guru easier, either way, and thank you all for your terrific support of this fansite during the pre-release phase. I hope you continue to post even when the official site is up!!

|valid XML checking
|Thu, 09 Mar 2006 18:53:52 GMT
Hi there, I've spent quite some time trying to get the MDB sample (http://opensource2.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/display/GERONIMO/JBoss+to+G eronimo+-+EJB-MDB+Migration) deployed using the eclipse plugin. I was able to get it running eventually but I had to spend extra time in modifying the deployment plan to bypass the valid XML checking. The extra editing is are not needed if I use the command line deployer or admin console. The problem is that the plugin checks the deployment plan very strictly. I have to use fully qualified elements, otherwise the plans are not treated as valid xmls, and the model editor will not be able to parse the resource and throws exception in the eclipse log. For example: the following is not treated as valid Geronimo deployment plan in eclipse environment. But the command line deployer or admin console likes it: <ejb-ref> <ref-name>ejb/CustomerHome</ref-name> <target-name> geronimo.server:EJBModule=MDBDemo,J2EEApplication=null,J2EEServer=geronimo,j 2eeType=EntityBean,name=CustomerEJB </target-name> </ejb-ref> I had to change it to the following just for Eclipse environment. (xmlns:nam=http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.0 <http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.0_> is specified earlier in the plan) <nam:ejb-ref> <nam:ref-name>ejb/CustomerHome</nam:ref-name> <nam:target-name> geronimo.server:EJBModule=MDBDemo,J2EEApplication=null,J2EEServer=geronimo,j 2eeType=EntityBean,name=CustomerEJB </nam:target-name> </nam:ejb-ref> Ideally, we don't want users to perform such extra efforts while porting their Geronimo specific plans in eclipse. I am not sure what can be done in the plugin code to perform a loose XML checking. it seems to use the WTP/pre-requisites' code to perform the XML checking. Thoughts? Thanks, Lin

Recasting the Old Testament in Jacob's House
In the Bible, sneaky Jacob swindles his hirsute, dull-witted bro, Esau, out of his patrimony with a well-timed furry glove. But Jacob was also resolute, wrestling an angel for God's blessing. For playwright August Schulenburg, these two qualities—unscrupulousness plus appetite—make Jacob's story an apt vehicle for our national past. His retelling of the patriarch's exploits, Jacob's House (now playing at Access Theater, directed by Kelly O'Donnell), recasts the Old Testament myth as a ponderous historical allegory—one that doesn't reveal much about myth or history.
Jacob (Matthew Archambault) has finally expired after an epic lifespan matching the American Republic's. The great man's quarrelsome heirs gather in the junk-crowded family manse to dispute his legacy. Clumsy flashbacks in period costume—usually beginning with "I remember"—summon Jacob's restless strivings: He becomes a robber-baron capitalist, complicit in slave-trading and imperialist abuses.
Meanwhile, the shrill progeny trade insults and slaps. Perhaps this is a point about the banal descendants of august ancestors. More likely, it's just angling for yuks.
Jacob's House
By August Schulenburg
Access Theater
380 Broadway, 212-966-1047
After grasping the utterly uncontroversial premise—America has a criminal past, but is admirably self-inventing—there's little to glean from this schematic adaptation. Schulenburg concludes with a cop-out: The descendants soppily agree to share their fractious inheritance, and fumble on. Angels in America this ain't.

Network Rail profits pass £2bn
Network Rail said it had continued to make "steady progress" in reducing costs when it announced increased operating profits of £2bn, adding that it was on target to achieve "challenging" efficiency savings. The infrastructure firm said it had cut the cost of running the railway by £400m in the past year and by £600m since 2009.
Imperial Leather bars to shrink
The size of a bar of Imperial Leather soap is set to shrink by a fifth to 100g as its maker, PZ Cussons, opts to reduce the size rather than raise the price to cope with higher raw material costs. Cussons, which has no plans to downsize other products, has put prices up 7 per cent over the past year, without passing on the whole rise in its costs.
Heat puts Halfords in the driving seat
Halfords thanked the hot spring weather for a boom in demand for bikes and travel goods, giving it a boost after a challenging year when sales came under pressure. The car parts and bicycle group reported an 8 per cent rise in annual profits to £118m, but warned tough trading conditions are likely to continue as consumer spending is squeezed.

The company, which has raised £34m by selling about a tenth of its property assets this year, also told its annual meeting it had completed a strategic review on schedule and action was being taken to resolve its problems.
Welsh Water cuts bills
The not-for-profit company that owns Welsh Water said turnover in the past year fell 1.6 per cent to £677m after the regulator forced it to slash bills for its 1.3 million customers. Glas Cymru said its average bill was £4 lower at £398. Its profits rose 11 per cent to £70m and will be reinvested in the company.
Begbies Traynor disappointed
The corporate insolvency specialist Begbies Traynor said its performance over the past year was disappointing after the number of companies going into administration failed to keep pace with indicators of financial stress. The company said the market had stabilised in recent weeks but was still challenging.
RBS to cut 200 in investment bank
RBS will axe about a fifth of its 1,000-strong global banking team, which houses the bank's corporate finance and advisory divisions. The bank has already cut the unit back since it was bailed out by taxpayers, and turned its back on riskier leveraged financing, typically used to fund private equity-led buyouts.
Lloyds to axe 300 staff
Lloyds Banking Group, which is about 41 per cent-owned by the government, is axing 300 jobs across its retail, wholesale and wealth units. The bank has shed 27,000 jobs over the past two years, as it continues an integration programme following its 2009 takeover of troubled lender HBOS.
Fall in demand narrows deficit
Britain's goods trade deficit with the rest of the world narrowed more than expected in April, though the improvement was driven by a sharp fall in demand for consumer goods. Overall, including services, the trade deficit was stable at £2.8bn in April, with the March deficit revised from £3bn to £2.8bn.
US jobless-benefit claims climb
The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefit edged unexpectedly higher last week, stoking fears of a stalled economic recovery even as a separate report showed record US exports in April. Initial claims for state jobless benefits increased 1,000 to a total of 427,000.

Mike Stinson
Dwight Yoakam, who cut Mike Stinson's "Late Great Golden State" on 2003's Population Me, isn't the only country singer to realize Stinson may be the best writer of stone-cold honky-tonk songs on the planet today. Jesse Dayton, no slouch as a honky-tonk writer himself, is producing Stinson's next album. "The guy is like Roger Miller, just the wittiest writer out there right now," Dayton says. "I just played a show with Dave Alvin, and Mike stole the show from us." Fresh from his sessions with Dayton in Austin, Stinson comes armed with a new batch of songs with can't-miss titles like "I've Got No One to Drink With Anymore," the Ray Price-ish "Other Side of the Blues," the sentimental "I'd Make It This Time" and smash-in-waiting "Square With the World." When he sings "square with the world, that's how I wanna live, only take what I need and give what I can give," his Dust Bowl voice makes it almost sound like a lost Merle Haggard hit. And when Stinson originals like "Tomorrow's Gonna Hurt" or "Take Out the Trash" aren't making audiences cry in their beer, he'll pull out an old Chuck Berry rocker and set the stage on fire. A mainstay of the L.A. country and singer-songwriter scenes, Stinson doesn't come this way often, so for any fan of great writing and honest delivery, this is not to be missed.

Sue, welcome aboard!
I think we've all had a brush with "difficult neighbors." One of ours
threatened to shoot a neighbor's 3 pound dog for running through the corner
of his lot, and Pam had a real gem living by her in Texas. Pam, was he a
left over from the drug house days? In any case, most of us just try and
get along with one another unless there is no way to do so. I think you
made a wise decision vacating the area in your situation.
We're basically a "quiet" group with the occasional dry/odd sense of humor.
I can't think of a more wonderful group of folks to chat with!

Subject: Re: [CHAT] Bamboo shoots?
Oh do I know about nutty neighbors! We had to move in March because of one.
She lived below us and started harassing us like you would not believe!
Anytime she heard us moving around she'd bang on her ceiling. She'd
I mean blast..our stuff would be shaking-her stereo and TV from 8am to 1am
several times a week! She kept trying to convince me my boyfriend was
with a bunch of other women in the complex and that I should dump him. Then
one day I dropped my keys and she called the police! She did it again once
when I dropped some groceries I was putting away. She verbally abused anyone
that came to the front door of the building for us...the mailman, UPS, even
the poor paperboy, who quit because of her. I had to stop ordering garden
stuff through the mail cause I didn't want the poor mail guys to get
She'd come out in the hall and scream and scream at me, she even lunged at
a few times. I became so afraid of her I was virtually a prisoner in the
apartment. I wouldn't go out alone. Then she started physically threatening
us. One day when I was in the apartment minding my own business she started
screaming up to me that if she as so much as heard the floor creak she was
going to hurt me. I was so scared I called 911. Luckily our landlord agreed
she was a problem and moved us to another unit at the other end of the
complex. They want to evict her but since her unit is owned by a different
landlord (we live in a co-op-some people live in the apartments they bought,
others rent them out and act as landlords) they can't. Her landlord wants
out but she is suing them for some reason so they are in a tough spot.
Everyone in the building she's in has moved out because of her! Sad how some
people just have to make others miserable to be happy. She's a real nut. She
thinks she's wonderful and smart and everyone else is an idiot and "beneath
her." Ugh! So yeah, I can understand what it's like to have a "difficult"
neighbor. To bring things back on topic, she was a lousy gardener...she had
two window boxes and everything she put in them died...LOL

Subject: Re: [CHAT] Bamboo shoots?
Thanks, Sue. I am quite aware of bamboo's invasive qualities, but there
no danger of damage - just major annoyance. The bamboo in question is at
bottom of the garden along the property line. We are on a pretty steep
with many rocky outcroppings between the house and the bamboo. The
is a difficult one, and may have planted the bamboo where she did because
would not let her put a deer fence across the middle of the small pond we
share. She's a real nut about a lot of things, but we will cope.
Thanks for your concern, and everyone else's too.

Folks I need some help. I babysit my grandaughter (most beautiful,

those things you can here them
while they are napping. I remember hearing something about toes and
something about walls; but unfortunately

Lydia's room (used to be my son rick's room) and she had reached real high
and got a red candle which she
found to be an excellent writing tool---three walls worth!!!!!
Does anyone know how you get candle off a wall?????

Hi Tricia,
I loved Golden when I first saw it in 1982. A quaint little town hosting
the Colorado School of Mines where my First husband graduated. We
considered moving back there but he was not sure at the time if he
wanted to do that. It has changed a bit since then as all small towns
have, but I still love it and I hope he does too.

Andrew Ridgeley Net Worth: Andrew Ridgeley is an English singer/songwriter and guitarist who has a net worth is $25 million. Andrew Ridgeley was born January 26, 1963 in Windlesham, Surrey, England. He is best known as a member of the wildly popular '80s band Wham (with George Michael), which produced such hits as Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go and Careless Whisper. Although he occasionally helped write their music, sang and played instruments, his chief role in the group was that of George Michael's best friend. George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley met during their childhood and formed a band which was originally called the Executives. Wham! (as the band was eventually renamed) became the first '80s rock band to have an album with three number one hits. The album, Make It Big, sold more than one million copies. Much to the disappointment of millions of fans worldwide, the two disbanded in 1986 to pursue solo careers. Since the breakup of Wham! in 1986, Andrew Ridgeley has spent his time producing and pursuing his own personal interests. Ridgeley's album sales were unsuccessful and Columbia canceled Ridgeley's contract. Despite the downfall, he utilized his musical talents elsewhere, playing guitar at Michael's live performance of Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me and also made a showing, along with Princess Diana and David Bowie, at an AIDS benefit in 1993. He married Keren Woodward, a member of the band Bananarama and they had one son. Ridgeley has since retired from the music industry and spends his time surfing, motor racing and owning a restaurant called Bar 92 in England.

If you or your child have difficulties with anger, you know how devastating it can be to relationships, friendships, work and school life. Most people with anger issues, are otherwise good people, who are embarrassed and ashamed of the way they erupt! Why do nice people end up with anger problems? Often temper issues are related to other difficulties like impulse control issues stemming from ADHD, low self-esteem, poor modeling in their own families, childhood trauma, depression, or anxiety. I believe in a comprehensive approach which aims to change anger responses, as well as identify and address the underlying issues.

This is an area that is vital to understand and know how to manage in order to have a healthy, compatible relationship. Not knowing how to reduce anger and handle it can sabotage a couple's ability to communicate and get along on many levels. Anger unchecked, can destroy relationships and sometimes lead to violence. Over the years I have developed many techniques to help people reduce their anger, and have taught them how to communicate with their partner effectively.

Want to regain control over your emotions? I can help you understand what triggers your anger and how to reduce and overcome your feelings of anger. I can help you gain control over your impulses, slow down your reactions to situations, and increase your self-awareness. Effective anger management can lead to increased physical and psychological benefits.

Anger is an important emotion that serves a necessary function. Some people, however, have difficulty controlling their anger and end up regretting their actions later on. At the Lukin Center, we work with clients to help them identify when they become angry and the stages of anger they pass through before they lose control in order to be able to prevent the anger from building to such a destructive fever pitch. Our therapists work with each individual to provide techniques and tools for maintaining control that work for them.

Anger is a normal emotion, however when not properly managed, it can be damaging to a person's personal life, work life, etc. My approach to helping someone manage their anger, is to understand the underlying cause of their anger. Anger is a secondary emotion, meaning that there are other emotions underlying the feeling of anger that needs to be identified and explored. Coping skills to better manage all emotions will also be provided.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

I work with anger management for anger that is not physically abusive and not required by the courts. We will look at the root causes - is this a way that you keep others at bay? Are there other ways to cope with anger? Is this an approach to conflict that you learned in your family? We will talk about your thoughts, experiences, and expectations regarding conflicts. I will help you to understand and articulate the cause your anger so that you are less likely to feel out of control.

Getting angry is a natural emotion, one that is sometimes hard to control, but often unhelpful. Do you find that you go from 0-100 in the blink of an eye? Well, you're not alone. When angry, it's challenging to see and think clearly. I can help you slow this "blink of an eye" down so you can better manage your anger and angry reactions. I will teach you how to identify your triggers, examine your "anger chain of actions" and develop strategies to help you feel more in control of the situation and able to think and see clearly even in the most strenuous of times.

Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems at work, in relationships and in the overall quality of your life. But you don't have to feel helpless in the face of an unpredictable and destructive force in your life. I work to help you heal the root cause of your anger. You'll find understanding and compassion for the pain in yourself and your healing can begin. With healing comes understanding and compassion for others, and the return of the sense of control and calm in your life.

You will learn to create a moment before your anger spikes where you can make a conscious decision to act a different way. You will learn skills to manage growing anger before it becomes too overwhelming to control. You can learn to understand the effects your anger has had on others and work to repair damage that may have been done in the past. You will grow from your challenges and learn a new way of reacting to difficult situations and emotions.

I work with individuals whose anger, a normal healthy emotion, has become out of control, destructive, and has begun or continues to dominate all aspects of their lives. Whether you feel your anger is just there below the surface all the time or if you don't feel it at all until it erupts and you are flooded by it, I can help you gain more control. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental environment where we will identify your triggers, underlying issues, and work towards strategies that will help you gain more confidence in handling your anger, allowing your reactions to be an appropriate response to a normal emotion.

"Sticks and stones will break my bones, but your words will break my heart." Many people with anger issues know the damage that can be done to a relationship with even one outburst. Mastering anger is necessary to having the affection and trust of the people we care about. It has been accurately referred to as 'restraint of pen and tongue' in some literature. While it may seem like an effort one undertakes for others, the primary benefits are to the person who handles their anger. If you are reading this, and the thought "I wouldn't get angry if so-and-so didn't do such-and-such" consider yourself a primary candidate for this work. Discovering how to escape from anger will set you free.
Bennett Pologe, Ph.D.
330 west 58th street - suite 601, new york, New York 10019
This one requires careful diagnosis. Too many people have come to me claiming to have problems with anger management when in fact it was someone else who had the problem. Sometimes we need to get angry. Sometimes we just need help with how best to express it. And yes, other times we have the harder task of identifying just why you do get angry so much more than others seem to, more than upon calm reflection you realize is warranted. So this kind of work can be over in a few sessions or it can last months. Depends what we find.

If you find yourself having difficulty tolerating your anger or rage or are suffering consequences in your personal or work life as a result of outbursts, thinking it will get better on its own will leave you with more problems. Your anger is there for a reason or many. Psychotherapy with me can help you understand yourself in new ways so that you can deal with your anger in healthier ways and work on solutions.

Why is it that some people can be rational when faced with adversity and others become completely unglued? Often the anger is justified but when we become irrational and violent we have lost control of our power...not enhanced it. For some people learning how to process anger into rational thought and reasonable action is a difficult prospect. Our job is to learn about our triggers and find healthier ways to respond to adversity. I always remind my patients that we are allowed all of our thoughts no matter how out of control they may sound. What can't be allowed is acting on those thoughts in inappropriate and unhealthy ways. We must somehow find the Pause button.

The world in which we live is an increasingly stressful place. There are many demands on one's time, energy and patience. Challenging dynamics at home, work or school can make one feel irritable, angry or out of control. Do you find that you bottle your anger up and when times are really tough you explode? Or, do you have a hard time containing your anger to the point that you are jeopardizing your relationships or career? Research suggests that individuals who are quick to anger are more likely to develop heart disease and are five times more likely to have an early heart attack. Ari Fox provides a safe and non-judgmental setting for you to speak about whatever is on your mind.

Home Depot Giveaway: Live the Digital Life with AT&T
I posted a while back that we've been having some issues with our pup. He is old and feeble so it makes me worry about him when we leave the house for errands and events. This anxiety has been happening a while so I was excited to attend an AT&T event which showcased their Digital Life system.
I teased that I wanted Digital Life for teen cams (well maybe only a little kidding dum, dum, DUUUM), but the real reason was my Seb.
This last week, Seb fell down the stairs twice and up the porch stairs again. It turns out he has heart issues, and immune disease called Cushings, severe arthrtitis and even a parasite. Poor guy! Imagine if all this happened while we were out for the day.
The good news is our elderly 16 year old Seb is on the mend. Still the idea of being able to keep track of all my family members, furry or not, is so appealing. Imagine having an elderly parent you need you need to care for or kids old enough to stay home, for maybe a little while, but too young for your parent's heart.
Digital Life gives you the freedom to leave the house, knowing you can lock the doors you may have forgotten about or even turn off the curling iron you are wracking your brain whether you unplugged...all with the flick of your finger.
It even can detect leaks in your laundry room and records video that can be sent to your phone anytime there is movement. The house we visited in Seattle? The owner was able to detect and view footage of a pesky bumble bee that liked his front porch. That same owner was able to on a business trip states away, take a call from a repairman, watch for the repairman at the door, unlock the doors to let him in, fire up the cams and zoom on the repairman as he did the repair, watch the repairman leave, and lock up and reset the alarm...ALL FROM HIS PHONE!!
Speaking of repairs, I was soo excited to hear that AT&T has offered one of my readers $25 Home depot Gift card to make repairs of their own.
Just tell me in comments what function of Digital Life is most appealing to your family!! You all know mine...it's this guy below:
Yes, AT&T Digital Life helps you hear what your pets say once you have left the house. Ha! Check out their interactive experience, make videos with your pups, and see how Digital Life helps home owners protect the things they love.
Disclosure: Despite some delicious noshing from Lark in Seattle and pretty bitching swag bag, I was not compensated for this post. As always, regardless of compensation, all my review are honest and entirely my own opinion.
