What we have seen is a shift in how new customers are coming to QVC. In 2013, we gained 3.8 million new worldwide customers, and the majority of them are connecting with us first over one of our digital channels – whether it is our website, a mobile or tablet app, or one of our social channels, such as Facebook or toGather.
Olenski: We have heard for years that "TV is dead." Yet QVC is a brand that relies heavily on TV. What is it about TV and video that works so well with a brand such as QVC?
Miller: QVC is a multichannel retailer, and TV and video remain an important part of our offering. The broadcast is our strongest story-telling platform allowing viewers to see the products themselves and connect with our community of hosts and product experts. Our business model allows us to own our content and leverage that unique content across all our channels. For example, we are able to post both our live broadcast and on-demand content on our YouTube channel without delay, enabling customers to access video product information at any time.
In addition, we can use video content from the live broadcast as product detail content on our ecommerce site and mobile apps. It's part of what helps us to deliver engaging and entertaining content across all of our channels.
What is interesting is that the concept of "TV" is rapidly changing. For example, we recently joined the lineup for Pluto TV – a new outlet for people to enjoy video content online. We have also done some experimentation with interactive television, created an app for Roku players and continue to explore new ways to reach our audiences and meet customer needs.
Olenski: Can a consumer be over inundated with marketing and advertising messages and if so how does QVC strike that balance between over-saturation and the so called "sweet spot?"
Miller: Our customers find shopping to be fun and entertaining, and they enjoy content related to shopping and the products and brands they love across multiple channels. We believe strongly that relevant and timely content trumps promotional and loud messaging every time , so we work hard to give our customers ultimate control of when and where they hear from us.
Increasingly on our digital platforms, we are inviting the customer to co-create the retail experience in real time through toGather, social media and with ratings and reviews which we often integrate into our live broadcast. Unlike other ecommerce retailers, who frequently rely on algorithms to suggest custom content and recommendations, we have a community of shopping experts who helps to determine preferences.
From our hosts, to our product experts, to our fans and customers who love sharing their thoughts and insights on products, we are able to infuse customer messages with customer-driven insights that override any commercial algorithm.
Olenski: What does the future hold for not just QVC but retail shopping as a whole?
Miller: The future of QVC and retail is two-fold. Technology is evolving at a rapid pace, so we'll be building new experiences across new and existing platforms, while remaining focused on the experience that the customer wants and expects. With regard to digital commerce, QVC has already made the move towards responsive design for our web platforms because, in the long run, we believe that it will be important to maintain a very flexible platform versus creating a different platform for each screen size and device.
Today's challenge for all digital retailers is the mobile phone screen, but tomorrow's might be anything from a watch face (I'm a proud owner of a Pebble watch), to a 64-inch screen. What we do know is that access to relevant content on multiple devices is the future of retail and ecommerce .
We thrive at the convergence of shopping, entertainment and social as one. For the future, we can anticipate a shopping experience that is even more participatory and community-driven – a space where customers and fans with a shared love of shopping come together to shape their retail experiences.

Did any see the Tonight show with Boo Boo the chicken and her owner from Arkansas? Terry Bradshaw was also a guest. It is halarious! I have the clip in my e-mail if anyone wants to watch it!
That clip is wonderful. There was a post about it several months ago. Unfortunately, Boo Boo died (I forgot how).
oh no! I didn't realize Boo Boo had died. Someone sent that e-mail to me after I got my chicks!

Breda claim opening win
NEC denied after taking the lead
Last Updated: 16/09/11 10:08pm
NAC Breda came from behind to claim their first win of the season at NEC Nijmegen.
NEC Nijmegen 1-2 NAC Breda
NEC could have moved into the top-five with victory, at the Goffertstadion and things looked good for Alex Pastoor's side early on.
After just two-minutes Dutch Under-21 international Bram Nuytinck scored to put the home side ahead.
NAC, though, fought back in the second period and just after the hour Alex Schalk fired home. The winner arrived minutes later with Oemer Bayram scoring.

This easy zuppa di pesce is a staple of the anchovy packers of Mazara del Vallo on the northwestern coast of Sicily. It always comes with bread to soak up the juices.
Leave a Review
forgot to review
Very easy and delicious. I did make a few minor changes: Replaced a portion of the water with an 8oz. bottle of clam juice. Added about 1 tsp of fresh ground fennel seed. Added red pepper flakes to taste for a bit of heat. I only used pieces of cod fish as that is what I had but will use a variety next time. My husband loved it! (as did I). This soup would be just as nice for a light summer meal (especially if you were seaside) as it would for a cold fall or winter evening.
Loved this recipe. It was easy and delicious. I added a bit more of the white wine and also included some italian sausage. The sausage worked well with the other ingredients. I also poured over some plain raman noodles. This may be a bit much for most but worked great for me.
Wow. I made a big batch of this for a dinner party (5 x the recipe), and everyone raved, even the "I don't like fish much" people. Used equal amounts of black cod, paiche, salmon, regular cod, and tilapia. Only adjustments to the recipe were replacing water with vegetable broth, addition of a small amount of red pepper flakes, which gave it a nice but gentle kick, roasted red peppers out of a jar, and zucchini. I made the stock the day before, heated it to a boil right before dinner, added the fish, and simmered for 15 minutes. Served with sourdough baguette and salad. Glorious!
Super everyone loved it and had seconds. Used 3 tablespoons butter, added par boiled potatoes, 1/2 jar roasted red bell peppers, zest of a lemon, red chile flakes. Mussels, calamari, shrimp, scallops, salmon.
Lovely, fragrant, healthy stew. Used mahi pieces and head-on shrimp to add flavor. Also substituted home-made chicken stock for the water. Delicious with a french Sancerre.
This was a very simple soup to make. it was very flavorful. I used shark only and it was very good. In the future I would plan for this to be an appetizer rather than an entree.
Very good basic recipe. I added a tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary and a teaspoon of chopped hot peppers. Also substituted vegetable broth for water. Made it a more flavorful dish. I used striped bass (also known as rockfish in the Chesapeake Bay area) and it was great, but any flaky white fish would do.
This recipe represents purity in cooking. For such a few ingredients to present a fresh, healthy and complex flavor is a testament to the Sicilian way of cooking. I make this for my family about once a month and for friends who are not fish lovers and everybody loves it. I do think that it is important to use at least 2 kinds of fish - one flaky variety and 1 firm variety. That way the flakier one helps provide a little mor body to the soup.
I thought this was really good. The recipe is so simple, it invites innovation. I used Italian parsley as the herb (although I can imagine using many others); and I added carrots and zucchini to the tomatoes, to give it some additional veggie heft. I added some vegetable stock powder, Tabasco, and a touch of salt. For the wine, I used an inexpensive Pinot Gris. The recipe doesn't say when to add the fish, but I would definitely add it toward the end, maybe 10 minutes before serving; the rest of the stew/soup can simmer for 30-60 minutes.

Southern & Jewish Hanukkah Gift Guide. Happy Thanksgivukkah, Y'all!
Howdy, y'all! As the leaves turn colors and the days cool down, we're gearing up for Hanukkah and Thanksgiving — and, of course, Thanksgivukkah. In the holiday spirit, we've come up with a gift guide for Southern Jews and all Jews who appreciate the slower lifestyle (with a biscuit on the side).
This blue ceramic "Shalom Y'all" Door Plaque ($16) is the perfect dose of Southern Jewish hospitality to adorn your home.
Keep those sun rays out of your eyes and sport your Southern charm with this "Shalom Y'all" Baseball Cap ($16.50).
And yet another Shalom Y'all item which will likely get you many smiles as you walk down the street. This "Shalom Y'all" t-shirt ($17.00) comes in pink and blue.
Jewish life in the United States is far too often told from an East Coast perspective. Lone Stars of David: The Jews of Texas ($24.75) tells the story of Texan Jews who forged their own Southern Jewish trajectories.
This coffee table book,
Shalom Y'All: Images of Jewish Life in the American South
($9.98) is truly the perfect gift for any person in your life who appreciates photography and more so, the South.
Richly illustrated,
Matzoh Ball Gumbo: Culinary Tales of the Jewish South
($20.70) is a lovely fusion of history and recipes, and will make a great gift for the kosher Southern cook in your life.
This rabbi spent his sabbatical cycling through the South, and wrote this memoir of his journey:
The Jewish Pedaler
Hope you enjoy our picks. Here's wishing a happy, healthy, Thanksgivukkah to you and yours!

Duane Buck, "a black man convicted of a double murder in Texas 16 years ago was at least temporarily spared from lethal injection" on Thursday when the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to "his lawyers' claims that race played an improper role in his sentencing," The Associated Press writes.
As the wire service adds:
"Buck was sentenced to death for the fatal shootings of his ex-girlfriend and a man in her apartment in July 1995. His attorneys had asked both the Supreme Court and Texas Gov. Rick Perry to halt the execution because of a psychologist's testimony that black people were more likely to commit violence. Buck's guilt is not being questioned, but his lawyers contend the testimony unfairly influenced the jury and Buck should receive a new sentencing hearing."
Wednesday on All Things Considered, Wayne Slater of the Dallas Morning News said the issue in the Buck case has become "are we executing somebody not because he is guilty, but is the sentence delivered because he is black?"
Today, the Morning News writes that the Supreme Court's action was "an unexpected last-minute intervention."
"Last-minute" is actually an understatement. As the AP notes, the execution was halted "two hours into a six-hour window when [Buck] could have been taken to the death chamber. Texas officials, however, did not move forward with the punishment while legal issues were pending." The Houston Chronicle says Buck "was waiting in a holding cell next to the state's death chamber" when word came that the execution was on hold.
The order to halt the execution came down around 7:30 p.m. ET.
Buck, the Chronicle writes, "was sentenced to die for the July 1995 shooting deaths of his former girlfriend, Debra Gardner, and her friend, Kenneth Butler. Buck also shot his sister, Phyllis Taylor, in the chest at point-blank range, but the woman recovered and later became an advocate for saving his life."
Perry, now a contender for the Republican presidential nomination, has been in office for 235 executions in the state. On All Things Considered, Slater noted that "in Texas, if you are governor and you look like you want to offer a reprieve or to delay, you look soft on crime. That is a problem."
Meanwhile, a pending execution in Georgia is getting attention around the world because supporters say death row inmate Troy Davis is innocent in the murder of an off-duty police officer.

BARNES, TEXAS. Barnes is at the junction of Farm roads 942 and 1745, about seventy-five miles northwest of Beaumont in east central Polk County. The first recorded settler in the area was Dan Hamilton, who arrived during the 1850s. The community derived its name from an early black family of the region. General stores operated by John S. Havis and John A. Handley served residents of this largely rural settlement during the nineteenth century. A few scattered dwellings remained in the late 1980s. Barnes was listed as a community in 1990, but without census figures. In 2000 the population was seventy-five.

Richard Bachman
Birthday: 1987-07-25 | Position: G |
Eligible for draft: 2005 | Catches: Left |
Drafted: 2006 | Height: 5-11 |
Acquired: 4th round (120th overall), 2006 | Weight: 159 lbs. |
Probability of Success
2003-04: Richard Backman played for Cushing Academy in Massachusetts and posted a GAA of 1.84 and had 3 shutouts in 28 games.
2004-05: With Cushing, Bachman posted a GAA of 2.06 and save percentage of .931 in 29 games, including 3 shutouts.
2005-06: Bachman played for the Boston Jr. Bruins in the Tier 1 18-and-under national championships, where he stifled the competition, en route to posting a 4-1 record, .936 save %, and 1.69 GAA.
2006-07: Bachman got off to a rather uneventful start with Chicago (USHL) going 2-5 with a 4.85 GAA and .888 save percentage before being dealt from another Stars prospect, Pat McGann. Bachman improved with his new club Cedar Rapids and brought his GAA back under 3 (2.99) and his save percentage back over .900 (.913). He committed to Colorado College for 2007-08.
2007-08: Bachman got his first taste of NCAA hockey with Colorado College. Bachman had an impressive year, winning 25 of 35 games with a sub-2.00 GAA and .931 save percentage. He was named the WCHA Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year; the only other player to accomplish this feat was Curtis Joseph.
2008-09: In his Sophomore season with Colorado College(NCAA), Bachman went 14-11-10, finishing with a 2.63 GAA and a .914 save percentage.
2009-10: Bachman turned pro, starting the year with the Idaho Steelheads(ECHL). He went 22-7-4 with a 2.28 GAA and a .910 save percentage. He was promoted to the Texas Stars(AHL), going 4-4-0 with a 2.15 GAA and a .932 save percentage.
2010-11: With Brent Krahn sidelined with injury once again, Bachman was thrust into a full-time AHL role and was very impressive. As a rookie, Bachman finished top-five in all major statistical goalie categories (wins, GAA, save pct., shutouts and saves) among all American League netminders. Certainly benefitting from Texas' defense-first mentality but he still performed admirably in the face of organizational-wide injuries. His athletic style provides tremendous saves when the defense does break down.
Talent Analysis
Bachman has excellent quickness and agility in his crease. At just 5'10, Bachman is small. He has a lightning quick glove hand and is very athletic - a trait that he uses to keep himself in plays that some goalies would be out of. Will challenge out high, but will need to sharpen his judgment as he moves up the ranks because his athleticism might not be able to bail him out at higher levels. He plays with confidence and is a player who teammates can rally around. Could use some improvement with stickhandling. Needs to have more confidence in himself in big-game situations, and needs to avoid psyching himself out when the spotlight is on him.

Gah Lak Tus (Earth-1610)
Redirected from Gah Lak Tus
this wiki
Gah Lak Tus is an immense (approx. 100,000 miles long) collective of city-sized robotic drones that invades other worlds using a combination of envoys and a flesh-eating virus to eliminate native biologicals. Following this process, Gah Lak Tus exhumes the thermal energy from the core of the dying planet. Gah Lak Tus considers all manner of organic life abhorrent, as such an instance when it made telepathically contacted by Professor X, regarding the experience as desecration.
For millennia, the immense robotic entity called Gah Lak Tus has traveled the galaxies, destroying all life-bearing planets in its path. It bombards targeted worlds with psychic "fear" broadcasts and a flesh-eating virus, eradicating all life. It then breaks open the dying world to its core and sucks dry all its energy, leaving a permanently lifeless husk. Only the extraterrestrial Kree race learned of Gah Lak Tus's true nature and created the Eidolon Apparition "Vision" android to make contact with other worlds in Gah Lak Tus's path to warn them in hopes they may evacuate in the face of extinction.
Vision made contact with Earth in 1904 but crash-landed in the sub-arctic Tunguska region of Siberia. Twenty-three years later, Soviet explorers found the Vision in a self-repair coma. The Soviet authorities began a decades-long dissection of Vision, using his technology to supply their Super-Soldier program. Components removed from Vision were grafted onto human subjects, turning many of them into crazed monsters. When their funding collapsed after the fall of the Soviet Union, the project's staff locked away the Vision and their experimental super-soldiers in a bunker. A decade later, the Vision repairs himself enough to broadcast to all of Earth's communications networks, even higher telepathic frequencies, hoping to warn them of the impeding doom. This instead caused wide-spread panic and mass suicides. Considered a terrorist attack, General Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. assembled a covert team consisting of himself, Captain America, Falcon and Black Widow to find and silent the broadcast. Simultaneously, Professor Charles Xavier dispatches the X-Men Colossus, Marvel Girl (Jean Grey), and Wolverine to the same area to rescue what he believed was an abused psychic. Both teams fought their way through hordes of crazed superhuman horrors in the bunker to reach the partially disassembled Vision, who finally delivered its warning. Vision was taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody, where Wilson has worked with the android, Kree defector Mahr Vehl, and a confiscated Kree database to determine what Gah Lak Tus is and how to defend Earth against it.
Eventually, Gah Lak Tus arrived to Earth. And as the Gah Lak Tus swarm prepared to "feed" on the planet, Earth's heroes: the Ultimates, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men readied themselves to defend Earth. Jean Grey and Professor Xavier distracted the entity by making a direct psychic contact with Gah Lak Tus allowing Reed Richards the time needed to utilize the Ultimate Nullifier, by teleporting the latent energy of a Big Bang from another universe into the heart of the Gah Lak Tus swarm, destroying 20% of its mass. Heavily damaged and "tainted" by the thoughts and emotions of humanity, Gah Lak Tus is forced to retreat.
Years later after its failed incursion on Earth, Gah Lak Tus found itself in the middle of the Chitauri-Kree War, and started attacking the respective ships of the aliens. Seconds later, a rift in the fabric of reality brought a being from another universe, which called itself Galactus. Gah Lak Tus unexpectedly took the action of merging with its counterpart, creating a even more powerful Galactus with need to feed, who sent part of the Gah Lak Tus as his new heralds to seek and consume.[1]
When Galactus attacked Hala, the planet was defended by Silver Surfer, Nova and Captain Mahr Vehl.[2] During the battle, Mahr Vehl died of the injuries caused by the Gah Lak Tus swarm. Nova wore Mahr Vehl's armor and became Captain Marvel, using his newly vast power to unleash a powerful attack on Galactus. Thought dead by the heroes, Galactus was only heavily weakened by the attack, and started heading Earth looking to consume its power. [3]
Powers and Abilities
- Fear Rays: Gah Lak Tus can generate "fear rays" from space on psychic frequencies, rendering a targeted population permanently insane within hours. Gah Lak Tus' modules can release flesh-eating viruses capable of devouring organic life on a planetary scale within hours; the modules can also penetrate a planet's core and tap its thermal power, transferring it to Gah Lak Tus' main body.
Gah Lak Tus has recently acquired the powers of Galactus after merging with him:
Galactus is able to employ the near limitless cosmic energy within him to produce virtually any effect he desires. A few of the abilities he displayed are:
- God-like Strength: Galactus possesses an astronomical amount of super strength.
- God-like Stamina: Galactus can partake in physical strenuous action, like battles, for an undefined period of time.
- God-like Speed: Despite his size, Galactus can move at speeds that greatly surpass the speed of light.
- Invulnerability: Galactus is immune to all diseases, ailments, and toxins, and, he is nearly impenetrable towards almost every force.
- Levitation: Galactus can traverse or glide through the air using sheer willpower.
- Size-Alteration: Galactus can manipulate his size, density, mass and ratio at will, allowing him to reshape his body to any physique type he wishes. In fact, being a force of nature, and not a purely physical entity, every sentient race across the universe sees Galactus in a different form.[4]
- Molecular Restructuring: Galactus can manipulate, reshape and rearrange the molecular complexions of any organism, allowing him to rebuild or redesign things internally.[5]
- Matter Transmutation: Being a cosmic being, Galactus can control matter in any object which allows him to turn something tangible like lead, into something intangible like water.[6][7]
- Cosmic Teleportation: Galactus can make himself, other people, and obejcts appear anywhere in the entire universe that he wishes with a mere thought.[8][9] He has even teleported an entire galaxy.[4]
- Cosmic Force-Fields: Galactus can erect near-impenetrable energy shields.[6]
- Cosmic Energy Projection: Galactus can project supremely powerful energy emissions with incalculable concussive force.[10]
- Interdimensional & Intradimensional Portals: He can create wormholes between dimensions and within dimensions.[11][12]
- Cosmic Telepathy: Ability to read or communicate with other minds across universal distances.[13][14]
- Cosmic Telekinesis: Ability to move virtually unlimited amounts of mass through mental concentration.[15]
- Cosmic Awareness: Galactus can sense disturbances or changes within the cosmic ether on a universal scale.[16]
- Resurrection: He can raise the dead.[17]
- Creation: Galactus can create complex, sentient, biological or bio-technical life-forms from nothing.[18]
- Soul Control & Manipulation: Galactus can control and manipulate the souls and spirits of living beings at will.[14] He uses this power to alter the memories and emotions of others.
- Recreation: Being a cosmic being, Galactus can create an entire Solar System, including populations, the planets, etc. in every detail. [14]
- Power/Ability Bestowal: Galactus' heralds, whom he has endowed with a minuscule fraction of his cosmic power, are able to manipulate matter and energy in ways that are far beyond human comprehension.
- Vitakinesis: Galactus is able to heal himself and others from all physical wounds although this may simply be molecular reconstruction.
Strength level
When sated Galactus possesses a level of strength beyond the human ability to measure of quantify. Additionally, Galactus can use the Power Cosmic to further enhance his strength to undefined levels.
Cosmic Hunger: Galactus requires unknown energies obtainable only from a certain type of planets in order to sustain his life. The suitable type of planet need not to be one where life is present, but it must have the potential to support life. When recently sated Galactus is incredibly powerful; however, the longer he goes without feeding the more his strength, power, and cosmic awareness wane. Indeed, over one month after consuming a suitable planet his power will have already been reduced exponentially, although in such a hungered state his powers are still far beyond mortal comprehension. In recent times Galactus has been known to go without feeding for numerous months at a time bringing him to the brink of death and reducing his power to such a degree he actually becomes partially susceptible to direct attacks from superhuman teams such as the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, Avengers, the Fantastic Four etc although even in this significantly weakened state of power, he is still more powerful than the superhuman teams combined and still one of the most powerful beings in the Universe. When the universe was still young, Galactus could go without feeding for over century before his hunger weakened him to a significant degree, why the intervals between his feedings has decreased over the millenia is unknown.
- Ultimate Gah Lak Tus destroys planets not only to feed on the planets thermal energy but to also eliminate the threat of the sentient species themselves.
- According to Mahr Vehl the Swarm was built by the Ancient Kree Eons ago to "purify" the universe, and wipe out all their enemies. Sadly it got away from them and evolved over time into its current form. [2]

Winemaker's Journal — South at Pybus Market
South at Pybus Market is much like South in Leavenworth, only different.
The new restaurant in Wenatchee's Pybus Center has a slightly shorter menu that features nearly all the Leavenworth favorites, minus the Bavarian sausage with warm sauerkraut. Both restaurants have a full bar featuring dozens of rare tequilas and dynamite margaritas.
The atmosphere, however, is quite different. Rather than Leavenworth's loud, lively Latin island in the heart of Bavaria, South at Pybus is lively, but not so loud; Latin, but hardly an island in the Wenatchee Valley's sea of Mexican restaurants.
It is, however, the only Latin restaurant at the Pybus Center, and it's a good one, offering a nice selection of spicy foods all with a healthy, creative twist. Upstairs restaurant seating and the bar are great spots for people watching on the Pybus floor below. In better weather, an outside deck offers views of the Columbia River and hikers on the Wenatchee Valley Recreational Loop Trail.
Owners Cappy and Price Bond and their cooks offered us a full range of flavors beginning with a pair of very hot jalapeno pepper poppers stuffed with Mexican cheese swimming in a soothing poblano cream sauce. South's good selection domestic, imported and microbrew beers comes in handy to chase these firebombs.
Our salad of twin tostadas could easily be a meal. We were served the deluxe edition with crab and shrimp meat over corn tortillas, black bean sauce, a mound of shredded lettuce and topped with tomatoes, cheese, crema and guacamole. I really like these and thought they were tasty and refreshing. Kent thought they were too plain and topped with too much iceberg lettuce.
A nice feature at both South restaurants is the salsa bar, where you get your fill of chips and a selection of mild to wild salsas. You can spice up to your heart's content or seek heartburn.
Our Carnitas Plate entree featured chunks of pork, slow-cooked to tender and then doused with Pepsi Cola and carmelized over an open grill. We have had some very tasty pork dishes entered in this year's reviews and this was definitely one of them. The spicy meat was served with drunken pintos (beans cooked with tequila) and cilantro-lime rice and tortillas.
Dessert was South's famed Tres Leches Cake, soft, succulent and festive.
South at Pybus Center, 888-5463; most dinner items priced $8 to $23.
The Dream Meal Team has been at it again. For the second year, our group of three experienced foodies took on the enviable task of dining out once or twice a week at some of the region's finest restaurants for reviews and to pick the best appetizer, salad, entree and dessert for the Foothills magazine's annual Dream Meal.
The winners — and there were many — are published in the January-February issue of Foothills, now available at many locations. Reviews of all participating restaurants will appear one each week on the Winemaker's Journal website.
The Dream Meal review team is made up of Annette Pitts, director of the Cascade Loop Association, former caterer and food blogger; Kent Getzin, Wenatchee School District director of food services and member of the National Farm to School Board of Directors; and Rick Steigmeyer, food and wine blogger and Wenatchee World staff writer. Most of the food photos were taken by Kent and his nifty iPhone 5.
All meals were provided by the restaurants, most drinks were purchased. As current or former food service workers, we all want to see local restaurants succeed. Criticisms, if any, are all meant to be constructive.

Incorrect, my Aussie friend. A troll is someone who prefers to consistently make inflammatory remarks, rather than having any interest in productive discussion.
It's fine to troll some of the time. We have quite a few members who do so, but if all you do is troll, you need to be entertaining or funny at the minimum. You are occasionally entertaining, but not enough to offset your negative value.
I mean, considering how many forums you've been banned from, surely the problem is everyone else and not you, right? You're not the issue, all those other people are.
Something about if a third man calls you a horse . . .
I love how I post something, have a group of people jump on me, I reply with disdain, I am trolling and yet they are fine.

Anna Netrebko to Open Third Met Season in a Row
Monday, September 16, 2013 - 05:00 PM
NEW YORK (AP) -- Already one of the most famous singers in the world, Anna Netrebko is about to claim a new title at the Metropolitan Opera: The prima donna is becoming a "three-ma" donna.
When the Russian diva launches the Met season on Sept. 23 in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, it will mark her third consecutive opening night - a milestone no soprano has ever reached before in leading roles.
The streak began in 2011 in Donizetti's tragic Anna Bolena and continued last year with a comedy by the same composer, L'Elisir d'Amore. She scored in both operas, though the first stretched her vocal abilities to their limits and the second seemed like something she had outgrown.
In Onegin, she will be returning to her Russian roots, singing in her native language at the Met for the first time since her 2002 debut in Prokofiev's War and Peace. Tatiana, the heroine of the Tchaikovsky opera adapted from Pushkin, is a fascinating creation who grows from an impressionable young woman rejected by the man she adores to a sophisticated married noblewoman who rebuffs the same man's belated passion.
The role seems an ideal fit for Netrebko's large, luscious voice, glamorous looks and luminous stage presence (as critics agreed when she premiered the role in Vienna earlier this year).
Yet she said Tatiana has proved an acting challenge because she finds the heroine behaving very differently from the way a woman would in today's world.
"I'm a girl from the 21st century, and I would do everything opposite," Netrebko said in an interview during a break from rehearsals last week.
During the interview, Netrebko twice made a point of apologizing for having dropped the "F-bomb" in an Opera News interview. She was rather bluntly expressing her view that a modern-day Tatiana would surely have an affair with Onegin once he finally declares his love.
"I received angry letters about it," she said, blushing. "What I meant was that in our time it would be very hard to lose your love. Who would say no? If you have such strong feelings, there is a way to be together."
To get in touch with Tatiana's sensibility, Netrebko said she tries "to remember nobility, sincerity, honor, sacrifice - all those words which we are not using anymore much."
Beyond the usual excitement of opening night, there's a political controversy hanging over the occasion. Some activists had called for the company to dedicate the performance to a protest against laws in Russia restricting the rights of homosexuals. (Both Netrebko and conductor Valery Gergiev were public supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin's re-election last year.)
The Met issued a statement deploring "the suppression of equal rights here or abroad," but saying it would be inappropriate to use the performance for a political statement. Netrebko responded to the controversy on her Facebook page without mentioning Russia but declaring: "I have never and will never discriminate against anyone."
"Some people said I have to say more," Netrebko said, "but that is the maximum I can say right now." Then, leaning over in a conspiratorial whisper, she added: "In my next life, when I will be a politician, we talk!"
No matter how the opening goes, Netrebko's streak will come to an end at three, leaving her far short of tenor Enrico Caruso's 14 consecutive opening nights, from 1907 to 1920, or Placido Domingo's seven from 1989-1995.
The Met is starting its 2014-15 season with Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, and though Netrebko at one point discussed the role of the Countess, she decided not to do it. "I don't like the character," she said, "plus I don't see myself as a Mozart singer."
What she does see herself as these days is a Verdi singer. She recently released (to mixed reviews but healthy sales) a CD of his arias on the Deutsche Grammophon label. She sang concert performances of Giovanna d'Arco at Salzburg this summer, and she's debuting two iconic Verdi roles this season: Leonora in Il Trovatore in Berlin this November and Lady Macbeth in Munich next summer.
Other new roles she's planning include Puccini's Manon Lescaut with Riccardo Muti in Rome next February and Elsa in Wagner's Lohengrin in a few years. One she would someday like to tackle is another Tchaikovsky heroine, Lisa in Queen of Spades.
"I love this opera!" she said. "Tchaikovsky does something to all of us Russians, it just kills us.
"I don't really have the voice for it now, but maybe in 10 years." added Netrebko, who will turn 42 this week.
Netrebko isn't the only artist generating excitement for the Met's opening week. The night after Onegin, James Levine, the company's music director, is set to return to the house after being sidelined by illness and injury for more than two years. He'll conduct one of his favorites, Mozart's Cosi fan tutte. Also on the first-week schedule is the return of the wildly imaginative production of Shostakovich's The Nose, by South African artist William Kentridge. All three of these operas will be among the 10 "live in HD" broadcasts shown in movie theaters around the world later in the season.

Comments [5]
Today's [Saturday, January 25th, 2014] L'Elisir d'Amore broadcast had many of the qualities of its earlier broadcast with Netrebko but the rest of today's cast was lackluster. Why should the MET OPERA not have the outreach to get the appropriate singers for SO MANY of its operas. At today's perfprmance was a zesty, brimful of spontaneity, performance. Splendid casting of ANNA NETREBKO as Adina with SALVATORE CORDELLA as Nemorino, a role that requires a voice of considerable flexibility and beauty, if not richness, of timbre qualities Messr. CORDELLA lacks. The joie de vivre inherent in everything the charismatic Netrebko performs is similar to that of one of my voice teachers the legendary Met Opera coloratura FRIEDA HEMPEL who sang the role of Adina opposite the Nemorino of ENRICO CARUSO at the MET and elsewhere. Maestro MAURIZIO BENINI rendered a spirited, vivacious, bubbling tour de force performance., stylistically on the mark !!! I am a Wagnerian heldentenor, an opera composer, "Shakespeare" and "The Political Shakespeare" and director of the Richard Wagner Music Drama Institute, where singing technique and where ALL the Shakespeare and Wagner roles are coached. My websites where one may download, free, my singing of 37 out of the 100 selections that I have sung in four three-hour-long solo concerts at the Isaac Stern Auditorium of Carnegie Hall by going to Recorded Selections; www.WagnerOpera.com, www.ShakespeareOpera.com and www.RichardWagnerMusicDramaInstitute.com. Roles that are represented in my singing to be heard on my websites are:Otello, Tristan, Siegfried, Goetterdaemmerung Siegfried, Parsifal, Siegmund, Walther von Stolzing, Florestan, Federico, Orfeo and Eleazar. On Saturday March 22nd at 6 PM at the Hotel Pennsylvania, 32nd Street and 7th Avenue, New York City, I will sing for the NEW LIFE EXPO my concert FOUR GREAT SONG CYCLES: the complete Wesendonck Lieder [Wagner], the complete Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen [Mahler], the tenor solos from Das Lied von der Erde {Mahler] and Waldemar's music from Gurre-Lieder [Schoenberg. The accompanying collaborator pianist will be ROLF BARNES
Not to take anything away from Ms. Netrebko's achievement, but I was recently reminded that the late American mezzo Tatiana Troyanos also had three consecutive Met openings to her credit--as Adalgisa in "Norma" in 1981 (Italian); As Octavian in "Der Rosenkavalier" in 1982 (German); and as Didon in "Les Troyens" in 1983 (French).
Why Opening Night 3 years in a row for Netrebko? She's very good, she's not stellar. The Met for years used to be 'The House of Fleming,' now it's Everything Netrebko. Give others a chance, shine the spotlight on singers who are more exciting, more dazzling, if a little raw or rough around the edges, but totally mind boggling to listen to, all the better. Find them.
It's about listening to music being conducted wonderfully and played by a magnificent orchestra supporting beautiful voices.
Anna has the right to support whom she damn pleases. Why is there no petition signed honoring blue-eyed Sicilians. Would love to hear and see her as Lady Macbeth. Dark character and hope her voice has deepened enough for that role.
Netrebko is at a crossroads in her career.The combination of advancing age and increasing weight have produced a larger,darker sound.She is no longer vocally appropriate for the "ina"s and "etta"s from her earlier years.If she is willing to put in the work,she has the potential to develop into a singer of the Radvanovsky career arc,with Verdi repertoire in the forefront.

Which are the elite of the small carnivores? | |

Which are they? To qualify, said animal should weight less than 30 lbs. It shouldn't be restricted to a genus, so don't say stuff like 'felids', or 'mustelids', or 'herpestids'. Be specific. After much research (both online, and in the field), I have concluded that Herpestes Javanicus Auropunctuas is an elite small carnivore. Ofcourse this is subjective, but your answers could be subjective as well. My research has shown that this species is a formidable predator of animals of similar or lesser size. It's an ultimate generalist - capable of surviving in a wide range of environments. It's hunting style is like a combination of that of mustelids and felids. In reality, I'd say if it were possible to combine a mustelid, and a felid, a Herpestid would be the end result. Contrary to popular belief, these animals are NOT insectivores! They're generalists which range from full blown Hyper-carnivores to Frugivores based on geographic location, and food supply. Some might not agree with this (Felinepowah comes to mind), but these animals have been able to limit Feral Cat populations on many of the Oceanic islands in the caribbean, via competition and predation on young. I'd say that along with the fact that they're just plain awesome makes me think they deserve a spot as an 'elite small carnivore'. |

Heterotrophic Organism
I think that Dholes come to mind as they can get just under 30 lbs and take down female gaur and other things many times their size. |

I'm no mustelid fan, but I'd guess Honey Badgers and fishers. Maybe fishing cats too, but I'm not sure, they aren't so well known. |
Madmustelid | May 2 2012, 09:47 AM Post #5 |
Despite my name, I'm more iffy on the Mustelids. I love small mustelids like Ferrets, polecats, Stoats, Weasels and ofcourse Mink though. Mongoose, Ferrets, Mink are my favs... |

The bush dog is one, the animals they prey on are targets of the jaguar and puma! Impressive for such a small animal. Posted by reddhole and this texts describes some of the impressive prey taken by these canids Food Primarily carnivorous, bush dogs are most commonly observed hunting large rodents such as paca (Agouti paca) and agouti (Dasyprocta spp.) (53.1% and 28.1%, respectively, of reported sightings in central western Amazonia; Peres 1991). Their diet may also include small mammals (i.e., rats, Oryzomys spp. and Proechimys spp., rabbits, Sylvilagus brasiliensis, opossums, Didelphis spp. and nine-banded armadillo Dasypus novemcinctus; Van Humbeck and Perez 1998; Zuercher and Villalba 2002). Other prey items include teju lizards (M. Swarner pers. obs.), snakes, and possibly ground-nesting birds. Local people report that bush dogs can take prey considerably larger than themselves such as capybaras (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris), and rheas (Rhea americana), as well as deer (Mazama spp.), and possibly even tapir (Tapirus terrestris) (R. Wallace pers. comm.) by hunting in packs (Deutsch 1983; Peres 1991; Strahl et al. 1992). Their diet is reported to vary seasonally. http://www.carnivoreconservation.org/files/actionplans/canids.pdf |

The Tayra? I rather thought it was more of a 'softer' mustelid. Thanks for the info though. |

"Its cousin, the sleek, long-haired, chocolate-brown tayra (locals call it tolumuco--a meter-long giant of the weasel family--resembles a mix of grison and otter. It is often seen in highland habitats throughout Costa Rica. Weighing up to five kg, the tayra habitually preys on rodents but can make quick work of small deer. Keep an eye off the ground, too, particularly in Santa Rosa National Park, where tayras can sometimes be seen stalking squirrels in the crowns of deciduous trees with a motion so fluid they seem to move like snakes." http://www.centralamerica.com/cr/moon/momammal.htm ps : i forgot the fisher as the perfect predator .

After a decade at the helm of one of the world's leading economies, the Union for a Popular Movement party (UMP) is now in shambles and may fall apart altogether.
Central to the troubles is a debate among conservatives over immigration and Islam in France. The election a week ago split party members into those leaning toward the anti-immigrant far right, represented by Jean-Francois Cope, and those hewing to more centrist views, supporting Francois Fillon.
Cope, who led France's push to ban face-covering Islamic veils, was initially declared winner. But uncounted votes were then discovered that could swing the vote in Fillon's favor.
A UMP commission that handles vote disputes convened on Sunday morning to discuss what to do. Then Fillon's team, arguing that the commission was weighted in Cope's favor, suspended its involvement around midday, the Sipa news agency reported.
Hopes focused on Sunday evening, when former Prime Minister Alain Juppe is to meet with both candidates to try to mediate a solution.
Juppe knows his task is nearly insurmountable.
Speaking on Europe-1 radio on Sunday, he said he is hoping to "cultivate a small flame of hope," though admitted "I have very few chances" of success.
"If this evening, Jean-Francois Cope and Francois Fillon do not accept what I propose ... I have no ability to impose it," he admitted.
Both Cope and Fillon want to lead opposition to Socialist President Francois Hollande - and run for president themselves in 2017. Since Sarkozy left office in May, France's presidency, parliament and most regional governments have all been under Socialist control.
France's politics weigh on Europe's direction, too. Hollande's Socialists have pushed against austerity plans for indebted countries that use the shared euro currency, and battled Britain over cutbacks in the European Union budget.
France's far right National Front is hoping to capitalize on the UMP's troubles and bring in new support from the more hard-right members of the conservative party. Meanwhile a new centrist party, UDI, has already reaped benefits from the drama, winning new members over the past week amid increasing disillusion with the divided UMP.
At the same time nostalgia for Sarkozy is on the rise, with many conservatives hoping he returns to politics - even though the former leader was named special witness in an investigation last week involving alleged illegal party financing that could see him face charges.

Robert-François Damiens
Robert-François Damiens (French pronunciation: [ʁɔbɛʁ fʁɑ̃swa damjɛ̃]; 9 January 1715 – 28 March 1757) was a French domestic servant whose attempted assassination of King Louis XV of France in 1757 culminated in his notorious and controversial public execution.[1] He was the last person to be executed in France by drawing and quartering, the traditional and gruesome form of death penalty reserved for regicides.
Early life[edit]
Damiens was born on 9 January 1715 in La Thieuloye, a village near Arras in northern France.[2] He enlisted in the army at an early age. After his discharge, he became a domestic servant at the college of the Jesuits in Paris, and was dismissed from this as well as from other employments for misconduct, earning him the epithet of Robert le Diable (Robert the Devil).[citation needed]
Damiens' motivation has always been questionable: historians often describe him as mentally unstable. From his answers under interrogation, Damiens seems to have been excited by the schismatic uproar that followed the refusal of the French Catholic clergy to grant holy sacraments to the Jansenists, a sect which was considered (by, for example, Pope Innocent X) heretical. He appears to have planned a punishment for the king, upon whom he placed ultimate blame.[3]
Assassination attempt[edit]
On 5 January 1757, as the King was entering his carriage at the Palace of Versailles, Damiens rushed past the King's bodyguards and stabbed him with a penknife, inflicting only a slight wound. He made no attempt to escape, and was apprehended at once. Louis XV's thick winter clothes were protective, and the knife penetrated less than half an inch into his chest.[4][5] Nevertheless, Louis was bleeding and called for a confessor to be brought to him, as he feared he might die. When the Queen ran to Louis' side, he asked forgiveness for his numerous affairs.[6]
Damiens was arrested on the spot and taken away to be tortured to force him to divulge the identity of any accomplices or those who had sent him. This effort was unsuccessful.[citation needed] He was tried and condemned as a regicide by the Parlement of Paris, and sentenced to be drawn and quartered by horses at the Place de Grève.[citation needed]
Torture and execution[edit]
Fetched from his prison cell on the morning of 28 March 1757, Damiens allegedly said "La journée sera rude" ("The day will be hard").[7] He was first subjected to a torture in which his legs were painfully compressed by devices called "boots".[8][9] He was then tortured with red-hot pincers; the hand with which he had held the knife during the attempted assassination was burned using sulphur; molten wax, molten lead, and boiling oil were poured into his wounds. He was then remanded to the royal executioner, Charles Henri Sanson, who harnessed horses to his arms and legs to be dismembered. But Damiens' limbs did not separate easily: the officiants ordered Sanson to cut Damiens' tendons, and once that was done the horses were able to perform the dismemberment.[8][9][10] Once Damiens was dismembered, to the applause of the crowd, his reportedly still-living torso was burnt at the stake.[11] (Some accounts say he died when his last remaining arm was removed.)[8][9]
After his death, the remains of Damiens' corpse were reduced to ashes and scattered in the wind.[12] His house was razed, his brothers and sisters were forced to change their names, and his father, wife, and daughter were banished from France.
France had not experienced an attempted regicide since the killing of Henry IV in 1610.[13] Damiens' infamy endured. Forty years after his death, the memory of Arras' most notorious citizen was used against another Arras native, Maximilien Robespierre. The polarizing figure of the French Revolution was described frequently by his enemies as the nephew of Damiens. Though untrue, the libel held considerable credibility among royalists and foreign sympathizers.[14]
The execution was witnessed by famous 18th-century adventurer Giacomo Casanova, who included an account in his memoirs:[15]
We had the courage to watch the dreadful sight for four hours ... Damiens was a fanatic, who, with the idea of doing a good work and obtaining a heavenly reward, had tried to assassinate Louis XV; and though the attempt was a failure, and he only gave the king a slight wound, he was torn to pieces as if his crime had been consummated. ... I was several times obliged to turn away my face and to stop my ears as I heard his piercing shrieks, half of his body having been torn from him, but the Lambertini and Mme XXX did not budge an inch. Was it because their hearts were hardened? They told me, and I pretended to believe them, that their horror at the wretch's wickedness prevented them feeling that compassion which his unheard-of torments should have excited.
— Book 2, Volume 5, Chapter 3
Philosophical and political responses[edit]
The philosopher Cesare Beccaria explicitly cited Damiens' fate when he condemned torture and the death penalty in his classic treatise On Crimes and Punishments (1764).[1] Damiens's execution is also described and discussed at length in the introduction to Michel Foucault's study of systems of punishment to illustrate the shift in western culture towards punishment within 100 years, Discipline and Punish.[16] Thomas Paine in Rights of Man mentions Damiens' execution as an example of the cruelty of despotic governments; Paine argues that these methods were the reason why the masses dealt with their prisoners in such a cruel manner when the French Revolution occurred.[citation needed]
Literary legacy[edit]
Science fiction writer James Morrow draws on the incident for the trial of God in his novel Blameless in Abaddon.[17] There is also a description of the death of Damiens in Peter Weiss' play Marat/Sade. The incident figures prominently in Hanns Heinz Ewers' frame story "The Execution of Damiens". An allusion to Damiens' attack and execution, and Casanova's account of it, are used by Mark Twain to suggest the cruelty and injustice of aristocratic power in chapter XVIII of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Baroness Orczy refers to the incident in Mam'zelle Guillotine (part of the Scarlet Pimpernel series), which features the fictionalised character of his daughter Gabrielle Damiens. The execution is referenced by Charles Dickens in A Tale of Two Cities, Book the Second, Chapter XV.[citation needed]

Cadbury's Crispello For Diet Conscious Women
Official figures have revealed that a decline of 6.6% has been witnessed in a year in the chocolate market. After considering the numbers, Cadbury has made a chocolate named as Crispello, which they expect will bring a rise in the number of takers.
The new chocolate, which is majorily targeting women contains 165 calories and come in re-sealable packing. The special packing will make it easier for women to consume the chocolate as much as they want and repack it, so that it remains as fresh as it was.
It has also been revealed that the company has spent £7m on the advertising campaign of the chocolate. Main aim of the campaign is to woo the women customers. Experts were of the view though Cadbury keep on bringing new versions of chocolate time and then. It would also not be wrong to say it is now that it is going to launch a wholly new chocolate since 1990's.
Company officials were of the view that they have great hopes from the Crispello, as they think that the chocolate will become one of the favorites of women, who are on weight loss spree.
A Cadbury spokesman said, "The mix of wafer and chocolate is a lighter way to eat chocolate and we know from experience that women are attracted to this particular format".

One of the most fascinating questions to ponder is how you would spend the cash prizes from a winning lottery ticket. But a new story presents a more harrowing scenario: What if you found out your winning lottery ticket had expired?
That unlucky fate may soon become a reality for someone in Indiana, after the state lottery announced that a $1 million winning Powerball ticket is now considered "expired" after going unclaimed for six months.

President Harry S Truman's grandson, Clifton Truman Daniel, became the first kin of the president (son of his daughter) to step foot in one of the two cities he ordered destroyed in August 1945, killing over 200,000, the vast majority civilians. Four days before the annual commemoration, he toured the city and exhibits in the Peace Museum and met with survivors who seemed pleased, while pointing out they still held his granddad in low esteem.
Then on the morning of August 6–late on August 5 in the U.S.–he took part in the annual official ceremony in Hiroshima's Peace Park (which I attended back in1984). He told journalists that it was hard to listen to the tragic stories of the survivors but he was glad he did it to gain a wider appreciation of the effects (and in some cases, after-effects) of his grandfather's action. Japanese leaders made their annual pleas for antinuclear policies, with growing emphasis on the nuclear power aspects after the Fukushima disaster.
Daniel said he did not second-guess Truman's decision, offering the usual bromides about no-good-decisions in war. He should be congratulated for at least making the trip, but his name might he Denial, not Daniel. Some no-good decisions are worse than others, as I have probed in many pieces at this site (for starters, go to Search and punch in "Countdown to Hiroshima"), and my recent book Atomic Cover-up.
I wonder if Daniel visited one particular site in Hiroshima, close by the Peace Museum, that struck me most forcefully. Perhaps there is still time before he moves on to Nagasaki.
In the northwestern corner of the Hiroshima Peace Park, amid a quiet grove of trees, the earth suddenly swells. It is not much of a mound—only about ten feet high and sixty feet across. Unlike most mounds, however, this one is hollow, and within it rests perhaps the greatest concentration of human residue in the world.
Grey clouds rising from sticks of incense hang in the air, spookily. Tourists do not dawdle here. Visitors searching for the Peace Bell, directly ahead, or the Children's Monument, down the path to the right, hurry past it without so much as a sideways glance. Still, it has a strange beauty: a lump of earth (not quite lush) topped by a small monument that resembles the tip of a pagoda. On one side of the Memorial Mound the gray wooden fence has a gate, and down five steps from the gate is a door. Visitors are usually not allowed through that door, but occasionally the city of Hiroshima honors a request from a foreign journalist.
Inside the mound the ceiling is low, the light fluorescent. One has to stoop to stand. To the right and left, pine shelving lines the walls. Stacked neatly on the shelves, like cans of soup in a supermarket, are white porcelain canisters with Japanese lettering on the front. On the day I visited, there were more than a thousand cans in all, explained Masami Ohara, a city official. Each canister contained the ashes of one person killed by the atomic bomb.

"I will live right across from the new Wal-Mart. When I go to bed, I will hear 'attention Wal-Mart shoppers.' If they put fast food restaurants in there, I will hear, 'would you like to super-size that?'
Wal-Mart hopes to build a brand new Supercenter at the intersection of east Boonville New Harmony road and Highway 57, but not if neighbors have anything to say about it.
"Its Wal-Mart. There's no need for Wal-Mart in that cornfield. We live out there for a reason. We don't want them out there. If we want to go to Wal-Mart, we will drive to town," says a neighbor.
After listening to hours of public feedback, the Evansville Vanderburgh County Board of Zoning Appeals votes unanimously to hold off on any decisions to move the project forward until their next meeting.
"Its our hope that we can have something in writing that will sort of bring together all of the concerns that everybody has, so that next month we can get this resolved," says Board Member Mike Rudolph.
Tonight Wal-Mart representatives asked the board to approve their three variances: to reduce the number of parking spaces, approve their four Wal-Mart display signs, and to reduce the green space in the parking lot.
"These are the issues that this board will address tonight," says Mike Rudolph.
Many did not want to stick to just three talking points. Many say they are speaking out to defend their livelihood. Some speak directly to the Wal-Mart representatives.
"I'm really sorry, but it's Boonville New Harmony road. You don't even know, he didn't even say the road right."
Faith Georges says she is glad the board wants to take more time to review the project. She hopes to see Wal-Mart's plan in writing.
"Make them put it in writing, don't say they can trade this tree for that tree," says Georges.
The next meeting for the board will be August 21st. That is when they hope to have a decision.
