Barclays Said to Give Up Singapore Offices for LinkedIn
Pooja ThakurBarclays Plc, the second-largest U.K. bank by assets, has given up two stories of prime office space in Singapore's financial district, which has been leased to LinkedIn Corp., people familiar with the matter said.
Barclays returned about 60,000 square feet (5,575 square meters) at the Tower 2 of Marina Bay Financial Centre to the landlord, one of the people said, asking not to be named because the information is private. Barclays declined to comment in an e-mailed response.
The bank has been shuffling its real estate space in the city-state, where it's moving employees from suburban offices to the Marina Bay area to cut costs. Monthly rents at the property in the central business district are now S$11 ($8.80) to S$12 a square foot, compared with S$10 to S$11 per square foot when Barclays moved into the building in 2011, said Donald Han, managing director of Chesterton Singapore Pte, a real estate consulting company.
"Social media companies like Facebook, LinkedIn are taking office space in the central business district in Singapore, whereas in other cities you won't find them in the CBD," said Chris Archibold, international director and head of markets at Jones Lang LaSalle Inc.'s Singapore unit. "They decided to be within the CBD in Singapore because they want to attract the best talent."
Singapore Expansion
LinkedIn, the biggest online professional-networking service with more than 300 million members, opened its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore in 2011. The company's office is currently in the AXA Tower, in an older part of the central business district.
Roger Pua, a spokesman for LinkedIn in Singapore, declined to comment on the move. He said the company has 1 million users in the city-state and 50 million in the Asia-Pacific region.
LinkedIn last week gave a second-quarter sales forecast that missed analysts' estimates. Second-quarter revenue will be $500 million to $505 million, the Mountain View, California-based company said. Analysts on average had been projecting sales of $505.5 million, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The Singapore offices of Facebook Inc., the world's biggest social-networking service, and Twitter Inc., the microblogging company, are also in the central business district.
Most Affordable
Office rents in Singapore, ranked the most affordable of the top five major financial centers, including London, Hong Kong, Tokyo and New York, by Cushman & Wakefield Inc., are rebounding as robust demand amid high occupancy rates reinforce the bargaining power of landlords. Rents in Singapore's central business district are expected to rise as much as 15 percent this year, broker DTZ Holdings Plc said April 3.
Barclays will terminate its lease on about 15,500 square feet of office space in a building in Tampines, an eastern suburb, and relocate the employees to Marina Bay Financial Centre by July, people familiar with the matter said last month. It follows a similar move by the bank earlier this year when it exited Changi Business Park, another suburban office in the island-state.
Barclays occupies about 290,000 square feet at Marina Bay Financial Centre, part of the 360-hectare (890-acre) Marina Bay development that Singapore started building in 2005 on reclaimed land located in the southern part of the country as its new financial district. The bank has another 96,000 square feet at One Raffles Quay, according to Barclays.
Reshaping Bank
Barclays Chief Executive Officer Antony Jenkins is reshaping his company's investment bank amid pressure to cut costs, boost profit and focus on consumer and corporate banking. Jenkins will present a new strategic plan for the company this Thursday, May 8.
Barclays had 4,700 staff in Singapore, according to data provided by the bank in September 2012. In October 2013, it employed 3,500 full-time employees, according to a press release marking 40 years in Singapore.
Lester Lim, a spokesman for Raffles Quay Asset Management, which manages the property, didn't respond to a phone call to his office or an e-mail. The office project was developed by Keppel Land Ltd., Hongkong Land Holdings Ltd. and Cheung Kong Holdings Ltd., controlled by billionaire Li Ka-shing.

Hasta luego Oxy y los Estados Unidos!
Blogger: Marilyn Bran
Hasta luego Oxy y los Estados Unidos!
This may be the longest blog I will write, but that is because I am packing it with stories and experiences from my time abroad! I am currently studying abroad in Salamanca, Spain, which is a really small town in the western part of Spain, close to Portugal. I chose this location (with the help of our International Programs Office) because of the small city, the lively nightlife, and because it is known to have the purest form of the Spanish language. Now, being a native Spanish speaker, I thought it was going to be easy, but NO - it is not easy! I learned Spanish at home and from a different country (my parents being from Guatemala) and a lot of Spanish words are useless in Spain because they don't understand it.
But so far Spain has been A-MAZING! The program, IES, has a staff that makes you feel right at home and my host family is nice! The food here is tasty and delicious, especially the tortilla de patatas (translated to a tortilla made out of potatoes). My all-time favorite tapa (I will explain what it means later) are the Patatas Bravas or Angry Potatoes. Yeah silly name, but it's delicious! Basically it is half cooked potato cut into pieces with this garlic and olive oil dressing called aioli and a chili sauce. YUM! So what exactly are tapas? Well they are small snacks given with a drink, which can be a coke, water, coffee, beer, or wine. The name comes from way back when the kings ruled with all their mighty power. One of the kings of Spain went to get a drink of wine and suddenly a wind blew in the bar. The vendor, in order to protect the drink from the sandy wind, put a slice of ham over the wine. The king was confused as to why he did so and when he asked the vendor, he replied, "to protect the wine; don't want it to spoil." See the phrase "to cover" in Spanish translates to "tapar" and so the Spanish word "tapar" stuck around and it was then shortened to "tapa." Since the vendor covered the wine with the ham the king found it funny and clever and decided to eat the ham while also drinking his wine; and so he brought the action of having a snack that could cover the drink (as to protect it from sand or insects) to the town and from then it took off. In Spain, whenever you go to a bar and you ask for a drink, the vendor will ask if you want a "tapa" with that. Here is a little montage to TAPAS that was shown in my Spanish class. It may be hard to understand (it was for us!) so you can just look at the pictures J [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tsED75-Q9Q] There are also "pinchos" which are other types of snacks. Enough about food and drinks, now onto the actual city…
The actual city is a university city; there are two main universities in Salamanca: the University of Salamanca and the Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca. The University of Salamanca is the oldest university in Spain and it has been compared to England's Oxford University; it is also a public school. The Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca is a private, catholic university located around Salamanca. I recently started classes and I am taking 5 in total, 4 IES classes and 1 university class. I chose to take Motivational Psychology at the Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca and my first day was intimidating! There were 4 of us IES students and the rest of the class (of maybe 30) were Spaniards, so they all knew the language well. Our first day was alright, but it was difficult to understand the professor, but hopefully with time it will get better. Our other classes are also in Spanish, which is challenging because you have to learn to speak and write correctly. We already have tons of reading to do and written assignments, so this semester is starting off busy!
If you are a native speaker, this place is great as a study abroad location because you get to improve your language, understand it better, and learn new words or sayings. Remember, this city has one of the purest and original forms of Spanish! But there are some obstacles…like I mentioned before, some words that you have learned may not be, let's say, valid in Spain and other words have a different meaning. Here is a video that our Spanish teacher showed us (the lyrics should be under the video so try to follow it) [http://intentalocarito.com/videos/]. Basically, learning Spanish is difficult because it's different in every country! But it's ok, you get used to making mistakes.
Well this has been long! Throughout the semester I will keep adding to my long list more experiences in Spain and other countries I visit. Good luck to the first years at Oxy and to the continuing students. You can do it!!
Hasta luego!

A trending topic yesterday in the SMB ether was the update/release of the new Office 365. The abbreviated online launch party and initial message was covered by us (http://smbnation.com/content/news/entry/microsoft-releases-next-gen-version-of-office-365-for-biz) and nearly every major site covered off on this release (see my summary below), and click the image above for a quick intro video.
So what's a poor SBSer to do in this world of shifting sands. Denial is no longer an option with Microsoft having end-of-lifed (EOL) the acclaimed Small Business Server product after 15-years of service. Today it hurts, it hurts badly. Admittedly we are in the middle-part of the "Seven Stages of Grieving" quickly ascending toward acceptance (been there with denial, anger, yadda, yadda, yadda). So if you level-set as an SBSer in 2013, where are we at?
First – let me draw a comparison grid that aligns the lifecycle of SBS with BPOS/Office 365 in terms of product acceptance and cultural maturity.
Lifecycle Stage Comparison
Small Business Server |
Microsoft Online Services |
Comments |
Both rugged |
SBS 4.0a (1998) |
Both still rugged |
Office 365 (2011) |
Finally usable |
Office 365 "Service Upgrade" (2013) |
Starting to rock |
? |
Prime time! |
? |
Maturity… |
? |
Downslide and end of the world |
Here is how you interpret the chart above. You are engaging in an exercise known as "identity of relation" where you compare analogous discrete events or things. So I suggest to you that yesterday's release of the latest Office 365 wave is comparable to the SBS 2000 release. Translation: You're still early riding the wave up and good times ahead. The "compliant meter" about "this is wrong, and that is wrong" is now starting to decline and, the product (opps "service") ratings are going up, up, up. It will be the NEXT wave of Office 365 that puts it in the enviable position of what SBS 2003 (God bless it) was to the SMB Nation community.
Feature Creature
Geeks believe size matters. They love to measure features, functionality and performance. This new Office 365 wave isn't immune to such analysis. The real question is: What version of Office 365 should be used to replace the on-premise Small Business Server? As you might have guessed, it depends.
You can learn about the Office 365 Small Business (Hosted Exchange, Office 365 Small Business, Office 365 Small Business Premium) and the Office 365 Midsize and Enterprise (E1, Midsize Business, E3) here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/business/compare-office-for-business-plans-FX102918419.aspx.
Please do take a moment to study those charts, and then I'll share my thoughts.
I recommend the Office 365 Midsize Business service for the SBSer and associated small business customers. It compares closely with the Office 365 Small Business Premium service but it has more "techie bits" including Active Directory integration (if you really need that), SharePoint and site mailboxes (e.g. for projects). The hidden jewel in both of the SKUs is that you can have the desktop versions of Office on up to five (5) PCs/Macs per user. That supports your BYOD cravings. And yes – you read properly – it has Macintosh support! (If you are in Seattle on March 6th, join me at the MacTech Boot Camp for a deep dive on this matter.
BTW – the different between the Midsize and Small Business Premium SKUs is only $30/year or a ridiculous eight cents per day ($0.08). Come on now!
But let me have you think selecting the Office 365 service you want by another analogy (although it's not perfect). If your customer was happy with Small Business Server "essentials" version, perhaps the customer can respect and use the Office 365 Small Business Premium service. If the customer had more demanding needs and had used Small Business Server 2011 "standard" then clearly you'd want the Office 365 Midsize service. You get the point.
Finally, the biggest challenge the SBSer is going to face with the new Office 365 wave isn't technical or other practical limitations such as "uptime." Nope. It's the crappy attitudes toward cloud computing coming from the curmudgeons and luddites in our community. I'm so sorry to have to put it that way, buts it just seems to be true.

Conservation Breeding
Conservation breeding involves the careful and coordinated population management of a range of animal species through specific breeding programmes. These programmes ensure that there is rarely need to take animals from the wild and secures genetically healthy populations. Captive populations can be used as advocates for conservation and environmental issues by raising awareness and generating funds for in situ conservation, and could one day be returned to their natural habitat, should this be appropriate.
Although animals are best conserved in their natural habitat, the increasing number of threats from human encroachment means that there is often not enough habitat left to support these animals. Conservation breeding is therefore often the only way that these species will be saved. If a decision to bring an animal under ex situ management is left until extinction is imminent, it is often too late to save the species. It is therefore sometimes recommended by global conservation organizations such as the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) that species are bred in captivity to serve as reserve populations and prevent extinction. Conservation breeding has saved many species from extinction and reintroduced them back to the wild, including the Californian condor, the black-footed ferret and Przewalski's horse (see Reintroduction)
Zoos and aquariums no longer work in isolation but act cooperatively alongside each other, and in so doing they have become an integral part of the conservation movement. It would be unwise to keep all individuals of one species in the same place, as that would increase the risk of losing the entire population to factors such as disease or natural catastrophe. However, the population benefits genetically if it is managed as a single whole, therefore, animals in separate zoos should be managed as part of one global population, which is kept genetically and demographically healthy.
There are different levels of organization of breeding programmes, from global and regional (e.g. Europe) down to individual institutional level. To ensure successful management between these differing levels there is extensive networking and cooperation between and within regions. Regular meetings are held to maintain contact, discuss pertinent issues and exchange relevant information.
In order to prevent the isolation of important animal populations in British and Irish zoos, all breeding programmes are managed at the European level and coordinated by EAZA (The European Association of Zoos and Aquaria). BIAZA is a member of and works closely with EAZA and this partnership greatly benefits the breeding of threatened species. The programmes that manage all of these animal populations are known as the EEPs (European Endangered Species Programmes) and ESBs (European Studbooks). EEPs are the most intensively managed type of breeding programme.
Taxon Advisory Groups, EEPs and ESBs
Before a species can be managed, it needs to be decided how important it is for conservation. EAZA has established Taxon Advisory Groups (TAGs) for each taxon (specific group of animals). These TAGs consist of zoo and aquarium professionals who have specialist knowledge of their particular species. The main role of TAGs is to develop Regional Collection Plans (RCPs) for particular taxa kept in EAZA collections which prioritize which species should be held and outline management recommendations for these species.
Through European Studbooks (ESBs) and European Endangered Species Programmes (EEPs), it is decided which animals best suit each other using carefully managed studbooks – both on a demographic and genetic level – and these are moved between collections to ensure the best possible matches. The animals involved in EEPs are usually not owned by any zoo, but are 'on loan' to each collection that assists with their management. Because of the diverse range of species involved in these programmes, each species needs its own specialist care. As a result the EEP assigns a 'studbook keeper', who has specialist knowledge of the particular animal species that he/she is assigned to manage and who helps to decide where each animal should be placed to best assist the programmme.
BIAZA Taxon Working Groups
BIAZA member collections are encouraged to join the relevant European programme for their species and BIAZA contributes to improved captive management, husbandry and welfare of species largely through the work of its Taxon Working Groups. BIAZA runs seven Taxon Working Groups (TWGs): Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Amphibians, Terrestrial Invertebrates, Aquariums, Plants, and Native Species (more information on BIAZA Committees and Working Groups).

At a recent manufacturing summit hosted in Washington, D.C. by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), Vice President Biden effectively made the case for linking manufacturing and infrastructure development as inextricably linked e-components of a growing economy. The nation's lawmakers often cite manufacturing as a sure-fire way to place the U.S. on the road toward economic prominence once again. They also promote the need for a national effort to improve an aging infrastructure that once contributed to an economic boom in post-war America. However, too often manufacturing and infrastructure are not discussed in tandem. During its summit, the NAM demonstrated foresight and leadership in stressing the link between the two.
A 2012 Global Competiveness Report by the World Economic Forum ranked the U.S. as 14th in infrastructure behind countries like France, Korea, Spain and Canada. Such a ranking may not be good enough to entice manufacturers that are looking for every advantage in an increasingly competitive world market. Considering that there are upwards of $1.8 trillion in goods and services trafficked within the U.S. every year, it stands to reason that a highly productive economic environment allows manufacturers to bring goods and services to market in an efficient, cost effective manner. While U.S. manufacturers produce 12% of America's GDP, the United States invests a modest 1.7% of its GDP on infrastructure. That is not a formula for success. With an increased emphasis on restoring the country's place in the world as a leader in manufacturing, policymakers and business executives must address a decaying infrastructure. If not corrected, that decay will inevitably hinder efforts to grow the U.S. manufacturing base. U.S. manufacturers already are concerned that a declining infrastructure is raising the cost of getting products to market; costs that they are forced to shift to the consumer. The inevitable effect of price increases is a downward shift in consumer spending patterns, further contracting an economy that has been slumbering for nearly a decade. Unfortunately the issue is not limited to domestic manufacturers alone. To attract direct foreign investment in manufacturing, America must exhibit a commitment to improving its decaying infrastructure.
Remember that American industry has always approached challenges like the ones outlined above as opportunities to be innovative and aggressive. Manufacturers, engineering firms and all organizations involved in the construction industry would be well served by mounting a concerted effort to promote legislation and appropriations designed to improve the nation's infrastructure. Whether it's government contracting or business-to-business partnerships, opportunities for manufactured goods and services in the area of infrastructure development abound. The most successful organizations will be those with a strategic plan for not only promoting a national effort on infrastructure development but also those that are well positioned to capitalize when the opportunities inevitably present themselves. We can easily predict that the nation's airports, ports, rails and energy production centers will garner significant attention over the next quarter century. It will be more interesting to see which business leaders position their companies to lead America's manufacturing resurgence. Stay tuned.

I lived in Kearney, near Newark, form '70 - '76. Used to fish the Raritan in central part of the state and the Flat Brook (I think that was what it was called) a FF only spot up in the NW corner. Used to go out of state to Up State NY and Vermont when I wanted to go primative (ha, ha, ha - yea right, primative!).
Did the Hopatcong (sp?) and other lakes for the pickerel and bass. Oh, and of course the Jersey shore for the fluke and bluefish.
The differences between there and here is like different planets. I like it here MUCH better (less crowded and Big mountains). Sure miss the bass in the lilly pads though - a poor mans minature tarpon. Just can't find that out here, although we do have bass, they are little bitty'uns.

Rain shortened contest sees Blue squad top White squad 10-0

Rain and heavy winds were in the forecast for the annual Blue-White game, and a steady rain turned into a downpour by halftime, which prompted coach Joe Paterno to call the game two plays into the third quarter for the safety of the players and fans at the game. The Blue squad ended up defeating the White squad 10-0. Nineteen Nittany Lions sat out the game due to injuries, including wide ...

UnNews:Kelloggs empire has fallen!
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Kelloggs empire has fallen!
Democracy Dies with Dignity |
Thursday, March 23, 2017, 10:46:59 (UTC)
• Newsroom • Audio (staff) • Foolitzer Prize • Indexes • Random story |
30 March 2007
The well-known empire, Kelloggs, the empire who wants to kill all Gods and gives out poisenous food (which is a very healthy part of some balenced breakfast, kids!) has fallen, due to a recent lawsuit with Kellogs president, Tim Allen, by Jennifer Lopez which started as an argument over who was the biggest pussy. Allen was very close to winning but Lopez was the winner from the start.
When we sent an UnNews reporter to question Allen on this whole incedent, he quickly pulled out a wrench and asked our younger reporter if he wanted to screw him. Our reporter took the wrench from Allen and wacked him in his nuts very hard. Unfortunately Allen does not have any nuts, so our reporter just ran away.
Around the same time this was happening, another reporter approached Lopez, who was hanging out with Donald Trump and Britney Spears, who were all huffing kittens at their local Subway. When questioned, Lopez said she always had wanted to take down Kelloggs anyways, because their cereal was just "too damn GRRREAT (Frosted Flakes), because it encouraged Dark Arts and Luck (Lucky Charms), and because it just plain tasted like shit (Apple Jacks)," in her words.
Kelloggs has been the long ruler of Kill God's Island, well known to be the center of all Anti-Christ activity since 2009. They were also the original inventors of condoms, which first appeared as children's balloons in cereal boxes. Or maybe they just thought they were condoms! Many people, and Oprah Winfrey, are very happy of this news. They are even planning a party for tommorrow, which has officially been declared to be the Kids Choice Awards 2007!
"Now if only there was something we could do about General mills," Lopez stated.

Mathews board to consider vacating Williams Wharf right of way
The Mathews Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing at its Feb. 28 meeting to hear residents' comments on vacating a right of way over the Williams Wharf property at the end of Williams Wharf Road (Route 614). The meeting begins at 7 p.m. (Note the corrected time; the article originally had a time of 1 p.m.)
The 30-foot right of way, created in 1920 by order of the Mathews County Board of Supervisors to provide public access to the water, extends from the end of Route 614 to the water's edge, where the wharf used to be. It is now buried under a parking lot.
Lee Stevens, attorney for Mathews Land Conservancy, said abandonment of the road is important because of the Land Conservancy's plans to develop the site for public use. The state agency responsible for overseeing wharves—the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries—would have to give its approval, he said, and the Virginia Department of Transportation would have to take the right of way out of the highway system.
Having the road vacated would pave the way for two things to occur simultaneously, according to Mathews County Attorney Richard Harfst. The county, which took ownership of the property in 1994 in order to enable the Land Conservancy to receive federal grant funds to improve the site, will, as agreed upon at that time, return ownership to the conservancy, and a public easement over the entire property will be enacted to preserve the public's right of access in perpetuity.

San Francisco transit officials codified their own policy, which remains quite vague, after the public backlash to their shutdown.
In another change since his transit days, crooks now snatch cellphones, not gold chains.
On top of the $8-10K salary, visa and transit costs will be covered.
This is not to say that transit should be abolished, or go unimproved, especially not in urbanizing areas.
In the next case are photocopies of transit passes for the trucks that brought the cannisters of Zyklon B pellets.
A noon-mark may easily be made by the aid of the transit instrument.
Travelling by sea has changed entirely the aspect of this kind of transit.
Newspapers forwarded by Cunard Steamer are liable on delivery to one penny each, being the American transit rate.
It is crowded with passengers, for the transit is quicker than by sea.
The amount of wear and tear, the expenditure of vital force, involved in the transit from infancy to manhood cannot be estimated.
"act or fact of passing across or through," mid-15c., from Latin transitus, past participle of transire "go or cross over" (see transient). Meaning "public transporation" is attested from 1873.
mid-15c., from Latin transitus, past participle of transire "go or cross over" (see transient). Related: Transited; transiting.
c.1600, Latin, literally "thus passes the glory of the world;" perhaps an alteration of a passage in Thomas Á Kempis' "Imitatio Christi" (1471).
Latin for "Thus passes away the glory of the world"; worldly things do not last.

I wish I could place an order for some of those! So tired of today's big clunky shoes that make your feet look like Frankenstein's and those silly platform ones ala Kim Kardashian that looks like stripper's shoes.

I love how you can see that they have good arch support. Since I dance in a formation I spend a lot of time thinking about arch support :) The combination of I'll fitting shoes without proper arch support doesn't make for very good dancing. Since we all have to look alike and therefore have to have the same shoes. Which just results in them fitting equally horribly. But these shoes? You can just tell from the pictures, that the shank (the metal part) is properly curved. I'd say those are probably the comfiest shoes around :)

Although I understand Rachel Maddow's view, I almost feel like she's blaming other people who have not come out yet...I would assume she doesn't mean that, but the wording is just a little odd to me. I think it would have come across better and more inspiring if she explained that's why SHE came out, because she felt a responsibility because she's in the public eye instead of saying other people should do what she did.

I have been through my copy of Alt and Hyndman's "Northwest Exposures" in an attempt to find a certain bit of knowledge but have run out of time.
A very long time ago there was a geologic event which left an inch-deep layer of powder over most, if not all, of the earth. It was an explosion which occurred at the end of the Cretaceous period.
I didn't find it. Later, perhaps.
But there is a foreword that is so graceful that I would like to quote parts of it, though I am aware of copyright laws.
They acknowledge the work of hundreds of other geologists, speak of the changes of rocks which can seem fixed and firm in one age and change to something quite different in another. We, as laymen, can know that, though not in detail. But here is an acknowledgement of the work of others, which not everyone will give.
They acknowledge that they have skipped some details. And included is the statement I have quoted about how if this book is not obsolete in 10 years, that will be a sad commentary on the state of research in geology.
I have been deeply grateful to many writers who spoke to laymen in their writing and took us along with them as they discussed this fascinating field of science. And I don't think I'm alone. I believe a lot of you also are interested, too.
We have not had to go the physical dangers they have – nor some of the wrenching arguments with other scientists. Let us hope that buying the books they publish is a help to them. I hope they keep on publishing.

Poor little Willy is crying so sore,
A sad little boy is he,
For he's broken his little sister's neck
And he'll have no jam for tea.
–Harry Graham, Ruthless Rhymes for Heartless Homes
Kurt Cobain's diaries have been published. Amazon.com publishes several reviews from buyers:
" If you are a true fan–no, a true human being, you will allow Kurt Cobain to rest. If you feel a need to peek into his thoughts, buy his albums."
"If you love Kurt
Dont buy this book
If you respect Kurt
dont buy this book
Nirvana = Music"
"..the whole spirit of grunge – the iconoclastic stiff upper lip, the music for a lost generation …all bites the dust with this final nail in Curt's coffin…plainly put Grunge is being SOLD OUT."
"this book was really sad… includes all of his social problems including depression and drug abuse… I really liked it…"
"I felt Cobain came off as a much more gentle soul than my original perceptions of him had ever allowed me to consider. I felt almost like he forsaw his life spin out of control and was just overwhelmed by the thought of stopping it. I was thoroughly fascinated."
None of this, of course, tells us what was in those journals. Nancy DeWolfe Smith, writing in The Wall Street Journal, claims that the professional reviews don't, either:
"Grotesque fantasies of homosexual rape and homicidal rage fairly leap off the pages, suggesting that the anti-establishment icon from a remote Washington State logging community was tortured by a lot more than the hot spotlight of commercial success. Yet we haven't heard a peep from reverential reviewers about such things. Why do you think that is?"
Smith explains, highlighting such vignettes as this from the work:
"Neil Strauss, writing in the New York Times… cryptically refers to his revealed anguish at 'being teased to the brink of suicide at school.' Well, it's all there in the diary, if not in the Times. For our purposes, the story begins when Kurt decides to have his first sexual affair with a classmate widely believed at school, though not by him, to be mentally disabled. 'One day after school I went to her house . . . and she offered me some twinkies and I sat on her lap and said let's —-.' The experience repulsed him physically, but things quickly got worse when everyone from her father to the police wanted to question Cobain about taking advantage of a 'cronic retard.'"
Let's take a look at another charming scene:
"Suddenly one of my father's office clerks appeared in the drawing-room doorway and announced that the comet could be seen from the terrace…. While crossing the hall I caught sight of my little three-year-old sister crawling unobtrusively through a doorway. I stopped, hesitated a second, then gave her a terrible kick in the head as though it had been a ball, and continued running, carried away with a 'delirious joy' induced by this savage act. But my father, who was behind me, caught me and led me down in to his office, where I remained as a punishment till dinner-time."
This story is not, however, from Diaries. It comes from The Secret Life of Salvador Dali, written by Dali himself and published in 1942.
From both books, I could quote many more such gruesome incidents — Cobain sounding like one of the Columbine killers, Dali confessing to his bride-to-be that he wants to kill her. But I think you get the flavour of it all.
George Orwell takes to task Dali's autobiography, and his art, in his exceptional essay Notes on Dali:
"In an age like our own, when the artist is an altogether exceptional person, he must be allowed a certain amount of irresponsibility, just as a pregnant woman is. Still, no one would say that a pregnant woman should be allowed to commit murder, nor would anyone make such a claim for the artist, however gifted. … And, after all, the worst crimes are not always the punishable ones. By encouraging necrophilic reveries one probably does quite as much harm as by, say, picking pockets at the races. One ought to be able to hold in one's head simultaneously the two facts that Dali is a good draughtsman and a disgusting human being. The one does not invalidate or, in a sense, affect the other. The first thing that we demand of a wall is that it shall stand up. If it stands up, it is a good wall, and the question of what purpose it serves is separable from that. And yet even the best wall in the world deserves to be pulled down if it surrounds a concentration camp. In the same way it should be possible to say, 'This is a good book or a good picture, and it ought to be burned by the public hangman.' Unless one can say that, at least in imagination, one is shirking the implications of the fact that an artist is also a citizen and a human being."
Was Cobain a talented songwriter and performer? I think so, yes. I've enjoyed several of Nirvana's songs throughout the years.
But these diaries reveal that he was simultaniously a moral cesspool.
That is, as indelicately as I can put it, his own damn fault. Blame depression, blame bad homes, blame the drugs, blame whatever the hell you want — plenty of people face those demons. Kurt Cobain chose surrender to them, in the end delivering his life up to them. He didn't have to. He chose to. The mystique of his music shouldn't disuade us from realizing this simple fact.
It's not suprising that fans don't want to view this. To try and reconcile their brief and torrid love affair with the art of a monster.
Here's hoping that most of them are afraid of a seeing eye, not a mirror.

Slut-Gate: Obama's Orchestrated, Left-Wing Campaign Plan
March 5, 2012 | Filed Under 1st Amendment, Abortion, Barack Obama, Constitution, Contraception, Democrats/Leftists, Ethics, Liberals, President, Warner Todd Huston | 4 Comments
-By Warner Todd Huston
You know the story by now, right? Republicans run the he-man women haters club.
As the media has it the story goes like this: poor, unassuming, innocent Georgetown coed, accidentally ends up in front of Congress pleading for "reproductive rights." Evil mean conservatives led by scalawag Rush Limbaugh unfairly call her a slut and announce a war on women to end their "access to contraception."
Of course, that's the left-wing media's narrative. The real tale is that this is as manufactured a story as you can find, one created for the purpose of assisting Obama and his Democrat cohorts win the upcoming election. It's all a scam.
The "coed" in question is one Sandra Fluke, a young woman that has been presented as some sort of expert in "reproductive rights" (another one of those faux rights we that have been foisted onto the public debate of late), but is she? Where did Mz Fluke really come from and what is her background? Why was she presented as some sort of "expert" by a sitting Congresswoman, the former Speaker of the House, no less?
The media is presenting this Fluke character as if she is just a fresh-faced, wide-eyed, 23-year-old coed that has been accidentally swept up in this story. But the fact is, this Fluke woman is hardly the simple Georgetown coed that she's being portrayed as. Fluke has already got years of big government, left-wing activism under her belt. It's hardly a fluke that she was the one picked to ladle out this coordinated election season campaign game plan.
As early as 2009 Mz. Fluke was involved in left-wing efforts to create the nanny state. As her bio on the Georgetown Law website tells us:
…Sandra is the Development Editor of the Journal of Gender and the Law, and served as the President of Law Students for Reproductive Justice, and the Vice President of the Women's Legal Alliance. In her first year, she also co-founded a campus committee addressing human trafficking. Cornell University awarded her a B. S. in Policy Analysis & Management, as well as Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies in 2003.
Other notations include her gay rights activism and other "women's rights" activism. No mention made of her concern for the rights of men, naturally.
She is also not an innocent young kid. She's 30-years-old despite being reported as but an innocent 23-year-old student.
There's something else she is not, and that is just an aggrieved student accidentally caught up in this media maelstrom. In fact, she is an activist against conservatives. Last year, for instance, Fluke took her campaign against "conservative" universities on the road and led seminars to that end held at Berkeley. (Thanks JWF)
In other words, we've been sold a bill of goods. This woman is a hardcore, middle-aged, political left-winger, not any innocent law student.
Another thing is that Democrats tried to foist this faux "expert" on a congressional committee hearing before. In the middle of February, the House Oversight Committee held a hearing to hear expert testimony on President Obama's decision to force religious organizations to fund contraception use for employees.
The hearing had actual experts that spoke on both sides of the issue but the meeting was about the Constitutional issue of religious freedom, not so-called "reproductive rights." Mz. Fluke's inclusion as a speaker was therefore denied because she is neither an expert on the Constitution, interested in religious freedom, nor is she an actual expert on the medical uses of contraception. She was merely a left-wing activist with no pertinent expertise.
This is why Representative Nancy Pelosi (D, CA) held her own special hearing to give Fluke her platform for activism. Amusingly, while Democrats complained that it was a crime Fluke was not allowed to testify at the earlier hearing, in Pelosi's dog and pony show, Fluke was the only one allowed to speak. Hypocrisy thy name is Democrat.
Democrats are also attempting to fund raise off this issue. Democrat National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz recently sent out a fundraising email lamenting: "Why we're debating a woman's access to birth control is beyond me." Schultz lying continued in the letter when she said, "we need to stand up for the women and men whose access to care would be denied if the GOP has their way."
Of course, those are outright lies. No one is trying to keep women form access to birth control. What Republicans are saying is that there is no reason to expect taxpayers to give free contraception to horny — and rich — Georgetown law students! Or any other student, for that matter, rich or poor. There is no right to taxpayer-funded contraception. Further government has no right to tell private, religious entities that they have to pay for it either despite that it may violate their religious consciences. The Constitution rather prevents such assumed government powers, actually.
Now, we know that this controversy was fueled by Rush Limbaugh's off handed comments that Fluke (or the coeds she was pleading to get free contraception) are "sluts." But, injudicious as his comment was Limbaugh did not start this fire. The Democrats did and chief among them is President Obama whose decision to rip the Constitution to shreds and supplant it with his left-wing powergrab is what started this whole ball rolling.
If President Obama had not decided to summarily dispense with the First Amendment — one of America's original, founding principles — by Presidential fiat, this discussion would not be in the offing. And why is this the story of the day? Because Obama thinks it is in his best interest to try and keep the GOP portrayed as anti-woman and the Old Media establishment — Obama's defacto campaign press office — is pleased to help him do that.
This story has been manufactured from day one. Remember that it was ABC's George Stephanopoulos who brought this question into the public debate first at one of the Republican debates — and who doesn't realize that he was programmed to do so by Obama? It is a false narrative invented in the White House, furthered by the President's extremist, left-wing Party, and kept rolling by their lapdogs in the Old Media establishment.
Finally, how do we take this faux outrage from the extreme left seriously when these same type of women are organizing "Slut walks," eh?

text: Plea in works for Mass. woman who posed as boy By The Associated Press October 1, 2012 CLARKSBURG, W.Va. -- A Massachusetts woman accused of posing as a 17-year-old boy to prey on a West Virginia girl intends to enter a plea next week in federal court.U.S. Magistrate John Kaull entered an order Monday scheduling an Oct. 10 hearing for 25-year-old Carissa Hads of Quincy. The document says she's entered a plea agreement with the government, but it does not specify details.Hads' public defender didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment. Hads previously pleaded not guilty to one count of traveling in interstate commerce to engage in illegal sexual conduct. Investigators say Hads pretended to be a 17-year-old boy and began an online relationship with the girl in 2010. She visited the Lewis County teen at least three times and had a sexual encounter in February.

This thread will be devoted to everything Stephen King. Books, movies, graphic novels, etc. Some good links to go to: Some good links to check out: Stephen King Official Site The Dark Tower Official Website Complete Bibliography ____________________________________________________ I started reading King's work when I was in high school, and I honestly haven't read that much, but I've really liked everything I've read of his to one degree or another. ____________________________________________________ I've read: The Shining The Dead Zone The Eyes of the Dragon Misery (my first King book) Insomnia The Green Mile Bag of Bones The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon Lisey's Story Cell The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three Rage (as Richard Bachman) The Long Walk (as Richard Bachman) The novellas: UR Blockade Billy Low Men in Yellow Coats (from Hearts in Atlantis) From Full Dark, No Stars: 1922 Big Driver Fair Extension A Good Marriage ____________________________________________________ "The Crate" which was the basis for my favorite entry in Creepshow is going to be released in Shivers VI. I'm really excited about this because I didn't realize that it was actually short fiction first.
I just finished reading "Big Driver" and "A Good Marriage." I think Big Driver's the better story. I like his short stories when the evil's not so big and obvious. Of course, with the novels I like the big ancient powerful evil, like in Duma Key. Duma Key ruled! Still, my favorites are always the three C's: Christine, Carrie and Cujo.
Well, as someone who has read basically everything he's written, and as well as someone who taught a Stephen King course last year, let me tell you what are his best books that you haven't read: It The Stand Pet Sematary (scariest book he's ever written) Hearts in Atlantis in its entirety (it IS a novel, in fact) Carrie Different Seasons (both Stand By Me and Shawshank Redemption are from this collection - not horror, but some of the best stuff he's written) Cujo (maybe not as good as these others, literarily-speaking, but fairly typical scary-messed-up 80's Stephen King) Now get to it!
No 'Salem's Lot? You are all mad, MAD I say! His early short stories collections are great as well - Night Shift and Monkey Shines. And personally I adored Firestarter, but no one else ever seemed to like it much. I lost my taste for King in the Christine, Cujo, Pet Sematary years, but heard he got his chops back for various periods after that. I recently read Misery and it was a hoot and half - very over the top, but wildly enjoyable. I've been trying to get my hands on The Shining for a re-read, but haven't come across it on the local library's shelves.
Read quite a few King works over the years. The following are my favorites in no particular order: The Dark Tower series (with the least favorite being Wizard and Glass and the best a tossup between The Drawing of the Three and Wastelands) Misery The Shining Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption The Body The Stand (peters out towards the end but an epic read) Salem's Lot Pet Sematary The Mist The Dead Zone The Long Walk (as Richard Bachman) Cell Just finished Four Past Midnight which was OK and the novella that was adapted into the mini series the Langoliers was one of his lesser works in the collection (the best one surprisingly given its title was the Library Policeman) and I was given Under the Dome for Christmas. Can't wait to get started on it!
I gotta be honest, I found Salem's Lot kind of meh. Maybe I just don't find vampires terribly interesting. In the weird-guy-comes-to-town-and-wreaks-havoc subgenre, I much preferred Needful Things, ridiculous as that is.
Under the Dome is a great read, and surprisingly different for Stephen King. It's less horror and more political commentary. It's clear that, when he wrote it, he was disgustingly sick of right-wing American politics. If you're more left-ish, you'll find the book amazingly apt.
Honestly I can take or leave vamps - what I loved about 'Salem's Lot was the sense of pervading everyday evil about the town and the stories of Ben and Mark.
I've been wanting to get my hands on the Salem's Lot Illustrated Edition from 2005. It has two related short stories and some deleted and alternate passages.
Most recently I read Under the Dome and really, really enjoyed it - it felt like his best novel in years. I agree his short story collections Night Shift and Skeleton Crew are superb. I still shiver when I think of the endings of "Gramma" and "The Jaunt". Carrie, Salem's Lot, Pet Sematary - all great reads. Insomnia and Desperation not so much. The Stand was excellent for the first two thirds, but disappointing in the last. Which is a shame, as it fell just short of being a true epic. One that never got good reviews was From a Buick 8 but personally I thought it was pretty good - the descriptions of the alien creatures coming through the portal were disturbing as hell. Best of all was Different Seasons - four fantastic novellas and a pretty flawless book.
I've been a Stephen King fan since high school. I view him as a kind of folk hero, and one of the people I would most like to be. I have a Stephen King-esque novel that I wrote and that really needs a re-write and another round of rejection letters someday. I've read about 2/3rds of his stuff probably. The most famous novel of his that I've never read would be "It". The most recent of his that I've read was "Duma Key", I really liked it. I've been meaning to read "Under the Dome" but I'd need a substantial chunk of time set aside to do it since it's so big. I bought and read each of the Dark Tower books as they were released with the exception of the first two. My favorite obscure book of his is probably "The Regulators".
I don't know about that. I'm certainly not left-wing (nor am I right-wing.....I find both sides very flawed) and I loved the book and didn't see an indictment against either side. I'd say Stephen King is one of my all time favorite authors.... As for the books of his I've read......... Bag of Bones Cell Desperation Dreamcatcher Everything's Eventual Four Past Midnight Hearts In Atlantis It Needful Things Salem's Lot The Dark Half The Eyes of the Dragon The Gunslinger [The Dark Tower I] The Drawing of the Three (The Dark Tower 2) The Waste Lands (The Dark Tower, Book 3) The Wizard and Glass (The Dark Tower, Book 4) Wolves of the Calla (The Dark Tower, Book 5) Song of Susannah (The Dark Tower, Book 6) The Dark Tower (The Dark Tower, Book 7) Skeleton Crew The Regulators The Green Mile The Shining The Stand The Talisman The Black House The Tommyknockers Under the Dome UR Book's I've purchased but haven't read yet: Lisey's Story Duma Key Pet Cemetery From A Buick 8 Dolores Clairborne Books I plan to buy Full Dark, No Stars I'd say the Dark Tower Series, The Stand, It and Salem's Lot are my favorite books of Kings out of that list.
I'm very glad to read this. This is part of birthday gift for me soon, and I would've been very disappointed if it was a huge "slam right wing" book.
The Eyes of the Dragon and Desperation are two of my favorite Stephen Kings. I never seen those get much praise. I also read the Dark Tower series over 2010. I really enjoyed Wizard and Glass and have been amazed at the hate against that story.
Oh, I dunno...it felt pretty "slam right-wing" to me. Or, at least, Bush and Cheney-era right wing. If you're a huge fan, let's say, of Bush and Cheney politics, you may find the main bad guy in the book too cartoonish. If, however, you think Cheney WAS a cartoon, then you'll enjoy the villain immensely.
There are two things that King dislikes that are universal though... airport security and Sarah Palin.
Well, I was not a big fan of Bush Jr's second term for sure and I was never a big fan of Cheney. Course, I'm really not a big fan of most of Obama's administration either. In any case, perhaps I'm forgetting some aspect to the book, but what exactly was anti-right wing?
wow finaly stephen king thread great. this is what i have read so far. 1) carrie 9) misery 10) road work 11) thinner 2) salem's lot 12) running man 3) the deadzone 13) cycle of the werewolf 4) firestarter 5) the shinning 6) the stand 7) gunslinger 8) pet symmetery
I've read some of his books. The Stand was the first major story that I read of his (and my personal favorite) but I saw the miniseries first. I've seen the movie/tv adaptations of a lot of his novels, which I've mostly enjoyed. I do like to go back and read the novels upon which they're based when I have the chance. Firestarter (saw movie and spin-off miniseries "sequel") The Stand (seen miniseries and read book) The Shining (seen miniseries and read book) The Mist (seen movie- based on novella) The Langoliers (seen miniseries and read novella) It (seen most of the movie) Needful Things (seen movie) Hearts in Atlantis (seen movie) The Green Mile (seen movie) Misery (seen movie) Most of his stories are overall pretty good and have an interesting and often compelling combination of the normal and paranormal. Although not religious per se, he does seem to work in a small amount of spirituality into most of his stories as well that make the stories and characters slightly richer.
I dunno.....I've seem almost all his movies and so far none of them come close to doing the books justice. That's not to say the movies are all bad though......just that as is the norm, the books are usually much better. I will say the Shining was good and the ending to the Mist was a nice addition I enjoyed. Movies like The Stand and It start off reasonably well but both lose their way somewhere along the line.

This game is an fps?!
How do you turn a naval combat board-game into an fps?
Am I missing something?Posted: April 16, 2012 7:49 PM -
If there isn't a hidden/not hidden/whatever version of the ACTUAL battleship game somewhere in this title, I will be disappointed. As for this game, however, I'm still going to pass. Movie looks like a rental, at best.
Posted: March 15, 2012 9:15 AM -
What does that matter? The kinds of people who play bad games for the sake of trophies have small brains. They don't earn you anything and should never result in good sales for a poor product.
Posted: March 14, 2012 5:27 PM -
I swear, these game remakes get crazier and crazier every year.
Also, does this remind anyone else of "I WANNA BE THE GUY: The Movie: The Game"?Posted: March 14, 2012 4:03 PM -
Are you serious? This can't be made into a movie, it's a frigging board game! Ugh, I'm glad I gave up on movies a decade ago.
As for the game, no comment yet.Posted: March 14, 2012 3:50 PM

All about making whisky
Established in Glasgow in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing, the Douglas Lang company has, in recent years, made numerous changes to its structure. Fred Laing's movement to the head of the company has contributed towards the business's sound reputation. Known throughout the industry for the quality and variety of its cask selection (Douglas Laing still has casks from the most prestigious distilleries: Glenfarclas, Talisker, Ardbeg, etc.), the company has expanded its already rich range that includes historic selections such as Double Barrel, Premier Barrel and Director's Cut, with two new collections guaranteed to please connoisseurs: Single Minded and Old Particular.
'Two distilleries, one whisky' was the idea behind this series consisting of three expressions launched in 2010 by the independent Scottish bottler Douglas Laing. Behind each whisky there is in fact a blended malt, consisting of two single malts from two different distilleries, bottled after a marrying period at 46%, unchillfiltered. The objective is to create a new whisky, while also bringing out the best of each component of the blend. The blends in this range generally consist of two malts from regions and of styles that at first seem to be complete opposites: Speyside and Islay, mainland and islands, bourbon casks and sherry casks... The results are always interesting and sometimes surprising!
Please wait...

Large Bonfire in Falisolle
- Opening periods
- Event planned for the month of March 2018
Dates and programme may be subject to change - Event planned for the month of March 2018
- Address:
-5060 FALISOLLE (SAMBREVILLE) - MAPS: Google Maps
With more than 1070m³ in 2013, the bonfire of Falisolle, a municipality of Sambreville la chaleureuse, was the largest of the large bonfires. In Falisolle on 08/03/14!
What is the history of this large bonfire?
According to Michel Rosart, this event has been celebrated in Falisolle well over 200 times. The monks of Oignies abbey (expelled by French revolutionaries in 1794) wrote of seeing one. That makes it at least 220 years old.
The parade departs at 7:30pm from place Albert Ier. The most recent bride and groom from the Falisolle neighbourhood light the bonfire in the "pré des monts" around 8pm.
Death of the winter (symbolic character placed on the top of the bonfire) takes place shortly after. The fancy-dress ball with its prize starts at 9pm in the municipal party hall.
This year it will be 1500m³! Come and see it, it's free!

Stevens, 33, was on probation for a possession of cannabis charge, according to booking information obtained on the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office website.
Seattle news outlet KING-TV reported that a Department of Corrections spokesperson believed that Stevens' probation allowed him to travel to the state of Washington, as long as he did not get arrested. However, Stevens' arrest earlier this month stemming from a domestic dispute violated his Florida probation, according to the report.
