Py in the sky
Paris may not be Rome, but it does have a few hills. Accordingly, I like walking up to the heights of Belleville to stop in at Le Baratin. Last night, I did this, and sat down to a nice terra cotta dish of tripe and veal foot stewed with chick peas and chunks of red bell pepper.
A glass of NV Lassaigne Vignes de Montgueux beforehand was shockingly, and wonderfully, vinous. Where had the green apples and the asparagus gone? It was all winey and deep.
The followup was intended to be a 2007 Foillard Morgon, but as it turns out, they were fresh out of stock, so the young barman suggested something I had never had nor even heard of prior to that instant.
2006 Foillard Morgon 3.14 - Yes, the name is a pun on Côte de Py, where the cuvée is from; yes, punning is contagious; no, I'm not proud. What I am is enthralled by this wine. I stuck my nose in the glass to smell a short pour and make sure it wasn't corked – and did a double take. No. Fricking. Way. Intensely aromatic, it was a sucker-punch of glorious fall berries. I looked up at the barman, as though to say, "You've got to be kidding." He nodded, the pantomime, "Eh, oui." I tasted it, and it sent my brain circuits briefly on the fritz. I was not in the Eternal City, yet here was some kind of big ecclesiastical mass of vinous choir and song and organ and vestment and hell, god, it was just so good. Trumpets.
It was in a decanter, which was all the better for its continuation, as it smoothed; there was something a slight bit coarse to the tannins at the start, like a pleasant cat-tongue, just to show it wasn't some kind of manufactured thing.
Because really, if someone in a lab could make this, well, I'd have it running out of a faucet in my pantry.
But let's come down from our cloud. My only niggle with the night was the rushed turnover of the tables. Mine I could squat only from 8pm to 9:30pm, so it was over to the end of the bar, after, to pay my last devotions to the 3.14. Which it resoundingly deserves.

Sharon--counting down the minutes to my first real foray into Cru Beaujolais, Chermette's 2007 Moulin a Vent 'Les Trois Roches'. Pretty stoked, as these Crus are getting heavy scrutiny in past week's blog world. Richly deserved of course (my assumption at this point...HA) Thanks for the great notes on this Morgon (some serious Foillard Morgon insight also provided on brooklynwineguy's blog, but not nearly as fun to read as yours)

Hiroshima: Has the ground zero of the nuclear age become too 'normal'?
...Hiroshima is still here to remind us of what happened when we first unleashed our "device" and how it can never happen again—supposedly. That's what everyone says after visiting Hiroshima, the statesmen and citizens who sign the guest book at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. We will never forget. But maybe we will. The very fact that Hiroshima is thriving with its KFC and Starbucks, with the carefully manicured lawns of its 'Peace Memorial Park'—the only evidence that hell was unleashed here—may have the opposite, anodyne effect. This is not John Hersey's Hiroshima, the Hiroshima of the horrific immediate aftermath, but is to a certain extent a Hiroshima that says a nuclear detonation is a transient thing, something that's eminently recoverable from with a little time and some good landscaping."

Pope Benedict: Pius XII 'spared no effort' to help Jews during WWII
A symposium held in Rome confirmed the Church's position on Pope Pius XII: "'Thanks to the vast quantity of documented material which you have gathered, supported by many authoritative testimonies, your symposium offers to the public forum the possibility of knowing more fully what Pius XII achieved for the Jews persecuted by the Nazi and fascist regimes,'" Benedict said."'One understands, then, that wherever possible he spared no effort in intervening in their favor either directly or through instructions given to other individuals or to institutions of the Catholic Church."

Great concept. The mat did not fit at first as it was not a 100% customized fit. But that was not the concept of this rear cargo mat since it is a customizable fit--meaning you trim it to fit your needs. What a cool concept. I installed it the very day it arrived. It's now a perfect fit! You will not be disappointed. (Used a hard surface and straight razor blade to trim as need for my vehicle's trunk size needs.)

|Symphony Of My Dreams
|Stella Sings Kitaro (single)
Japanese by heritage, Brazilian by birth, singer of five languages, Franci's diverse background provides a unique flavor to her New Age sound.
As a young girl growing up in Brazil, Franci was drawn to classical arts and music. She trained for several years in ballet, but the demands of attending a Brazilian school, a Japanese school, plus her volunteer activities, were eating into her training. After her father was nearly killed in a car accident and was left partially paralyzed, she gave up the dream of being a prima ballerina. However, she still dances just for fun.
While studying at the University of Sao Paulo in humanities, Franci won a speech contest where she was awarded a trip to Japan that included a reception with the Emperor. This was followed by a scholarship to Osaka University where she sharpened her command of the Japanese language, lived in a Japanese home, and concentrated on appreciating the world of the arts and communication. After graduation Franci was a flight attendant for VARIG Brazilian Airlines. She was assigned to Los Angeles and worked the Sao Paulo to Tokyo route. She was featured in a commercial promoting the airline, and her work caught the eye of a Japanese producer who was in Brazil looking for a new "Teresa Teng", a famous Chinese singer who passed away in her 40s. After leaving her position as flight attendant, Franci accepted his invitation to be her mentor and teacher.
In August, 2002 she met New Age musician Kitaro at a Taiko drum circle festival at Mt. Fuji in Japan. There she presented the famed artist with a copy of her work, triggering the beginning of a wonderful partnership. As an adolescent she had fallen in love with the work of Kitaro. Since her earliest years she had been singing and expressing her emotions through music and she felt a deep connection to the compositions of the Japanese music star. Although she had to return to Brazil, Kitaro asked her if she would provide vocals for his album, "Sacred Journey of Kukai--Volume I", on the track, "The Wind". The album, released in 2003, was a collaboration by Kitaro with other artists for World Peace, and it was nominated for a Grammy Award.
From 2003 to 2004 Franci hosted radio shows in Tokyo, introducing Brazilian culture to her Japanese audience. She also began to experiment with the online community Second Life in 2007. Among her projects, she broadcast concerts streamed on her own show, "Stella Island", combining classical and Brazilian touches. In January, 2008 the Japanese travel show, "Major League Kansen Guide", invited her to be the host for their episode filmed at Disneyland in Anaheim. Musically, Kitaro's influence continued to be a part of her life and she released "Stella Sings Kitaro" in March of the same year.
Stella currently is promoting herself under her name, Franci. She has just released her first full-length album, produced by Brazilian Maestro Amilson Godoy with his Arte Viva Symphony Orchestra and American producer engineer Gary Barlough. She has written lyrics for Kitaro's songs that previously were only instrumentals, like "Symphony of Dreams", "Koi", and "Silk Road". With this project, she hopes to promote and strengthen Brazilian culture and musical arts.
Franci's sophisticated style mixes her passion with the deep influence of her home country of Brazil to give a new dimension to crossover classical music. "Symphony of My Dreams" has been released on Domo Records.

The economy clearly is getting better, but a couple stories today serve as reminders that the job market still has a lot of recovering to do. This story, from TheAtlanticCities.com, notes that not only has the recovery been largely jobless, but "a substantial share of the jobs created in the United States since the beginning of the recession have actually been temp jobs — not just low-wage and low-skill, but low-wage, low-skill, and temporary." Employment data firm EMSI estimates there are 765,000 more temp jobs today than there were in 2009, according to TheAtlanticCities.com. Temp jobs, which make up just 2% of the nation's work force, "have accounted for 15% of all job growth over the past four years," the story notes. But in some markets, including Cleveland, temp jobs' share of job growth is quite a bit higher. EMSI data show temp jobs account for 44% of job growth from 2009-2013 in the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor market, the seventh-highest such figure for large metro areas. In Cincinnati, the number is even higher, as temp jobs accounted for 65% of job growth in the same timeframe. Conversely, temp jobs made up just 2% of total job growth in Washington, D.C., 3% in Oklahoma City, 4% in San Francisco and 5% in Austin. An EMSI executive points out in an email to TheAtlanticCities.com, "In years past, we'd see temp growth, then full-time growth. This go-round the stronger cities are not going the route of temp employment. The weaker cities are seeing more temp employment that is not converting to full time." Meanwhile, USA Today reports that more than half of all U.S. metro areas "won't regain the jobs lost in the recession until the second half of 2015 or later," according to an analysis conducted for the U.S. Conference of Mayors. "Less than a third of U.S. cities and their surrounding suburbs have recovered all the jobs lost since the arrival of the financial crisis," according to USA Today. "Of 363 U.S. metros, 98 now have more workers than at their pre-recession peak, with an additional 11 slated to join them by the end of the year." Sixty-one metros won't see a full recovery until 2021 or later, the newspaper reports. The analysis found that the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor market has recovered 94.9% of jobs lost in the recession but nonetheless will not return to peak employment until 2018.
Good old days for jobs could be a long time coming
In the mood to save: Bloomberg reports that a new research note from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland points out that "increases in household wealth aren't being spent at the same rate as in the years before 2007." "Following the 2008 financial crisis, the ratio of wealth-to-income fell back to its long-term trend," according to the Cleveland Fed. "Since then, household wealth has been growing faster than income, having reached, once again, nearly six times income in the first quarter of 2013. Does the similarity of this growth now and before the crisis give cause for concern? Our conclusion is: no. Households have been more cautious during the recovery, and the drivers of household net worth are different this time." One reason that what the Cleveland Fed calls "personal consumption expenditures," or PCEs, have not tracked the wealth-to-income ratio as they did before the recession is that despite general improvement in the economy, "consumers' expectations about their financial condition in the future are muted." The Cleveland Fed concludes on what should be a positive note, saying consumers are "not reverting back to the low-savings, high-spending behavior that characterized the pre-recession period." Take your medicine! (Preferably a generic): $261 million. That's how much Ohioans would save annually if they did a better job adhering to doctors' guidance about medicine they should take, according to a CVS Caremark analysis highlighted in this story from Forbes.com. In total, the U.S. health system would save $6.5 billion "if patients who were prescribed medicines actually picked them up 80% of the time," the website notes. (The savings would come from avoiding health costs that are incurred when people get sick because they didn't take their meds.) Forbes.com says even more money — $13.4 billion — "would be saved if patients on expensive brands like Crestor, for high cholesterol, or Nexium, for heartburn, switched to similar medicines that are available in cheap generic forms, like atorvastatin or pantoprazole." The CVS Caremark data estimate Ohioans could save $545 million annually by making better use of generics. Broadway-bound: Cleveland blues singer Mary Bridget Davies is about to hit the big time. The New York Times says "A Night With Janis Joplin," a concert-as-theater piece featuring "a buzz-generating performance" by Ms. Davies as Joplin, will open on Broadway this fall after touring the country over the last two years. Performances begin Sept. 20 at the Lyceum Theater in New York; opening night is Oct. 10. Ms. Davies will be making her Broadway debut. The Times says she "has earned strong reviews during the show's runs in Portland, Washington, D.C., Pasadena and elsewhere for her vocal performances of Joplin hits like 'Piece of My Heart,' 'Ball and Chain' and 'Me and Bobby McGee.' "

(FOX19) - Congressman Paul Ryan spoke Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention.
Ryan has made a lot of headlines lately because of his record on pro-life issues.
But the headlines are largely because of statements made by another Congressman, Todd Akin.
In an exclusive interview with Governor Mitt Romney and Congressman Paul Ryan, Ben wanted to know if Akin was thrown under the bus by party leaders.
This is a Reality Check you won't see anywhere else.

No. Lackadaisical head coach who lets the kids do whatever they want and their egos to swell replaced by a much stricter, hard line coach of the buy in or bye bye type. Bound to be problems, especially with headcases like Wilson that have looked like problems of the mental sort to begin with. This is year 1 of the Leach regime, it'll take a little time for the Wulff recruits with sour attitudes to either buy in or be weeded out completely and be replaced with the guys who want to be there.
Wilson reportedly was ready to quit the team in the spring but was talked out of it by other teammates, the kid is just a moron. He became my favorite player as a true freshman, and now I'm just ready for him to be gone. I'm expecting a Dwight Jones type flame out at this point. Decent physical talent overridden by a terrible twos attitude will send him deep into the draft or out of it completely and will quit on whichever team works him out as a UDFA when he isn't coddled and celebrated.
Year 1 with Leach has been rougher than many expected, but taking into account the move from a coach like Wulff to a coach like Leach with the type of players brought in and attitudes fostered under Wulff, it makes sense, and perhaps Coug fans just got overly optimistic because a big name was brought in. It'll get better.

CSU Presidents
Charles B. Reed
Policy Governing the Electronic Admission Application Submission to the CSU and the
Redirection of Unaccommodated Applications—Executive Order No. 881
Attached is a copy of Executive Order No. 881 relating to Electronic Admission Application Submission to The California State University (CSU) and the Redirection of Unaccommodated Applications.
Six years after the implementation of CSU's electronic admission application process, nearly 80 percent of all admission applications to the CSU are submitted in electronic form. The Admission Advisory Council, after consultation with the statewide Academic Senate, admission officers, school counselors, and students, has recommended that effective October 1, 2004 and thereafter, students applying to the CSU be required to submit an electronic application for admission and that unaccommodated applications be redirected to other open campuses and majors in the CSU. The Executive Council has accepted this recommendation.
In accordance with policy of The California State University, the campus president has the responsibility for implementing executive orders where applicable and for maintaining the campus repository and index for all executive orders.
Attachment (see below)
Executive Order 881
Office of the Chancellor
401 Golden Shore
Long Beach, California 90802-4210
(562) 951-4700
Executive Order:
Electronic Admission Application Submission and Processing of Applications to Closed or
Impacted Admission Categories
Effective Date:
October 1, 2004
This executive order is issued pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of Chapter III of the Standing Orders of the Board of Trustees of the California State University. This executive order applies to students who apply for admission to the California State University (CSU) for the fall term 2005 and thereafter.
California Education Code §66201 (Opportunity to Enroll and to Continue) provides that each resident of California who has the capacity and motivation to benefit from higher education should have the opportunity to enroll in an institution of higher education. The California State University is committed to ensuring that all qualified applicants seeking access to the CSU are offered accommodation within the system. In so doing, this policy establishes a process for application completion and submission to campuses and procedures to redirect applicants to another CSU campus when applicants cannot be accommodated at the first-choice campus or in the alternate major(s).
Application Process and Procedures
Effective October 1, 2004 and thereafter, the California State University will require that all students applying to a CSU campus submit an electronic application.
As a result of this requirement, paper applications will no longer be printed and generally distributed. The CSU recognizes that there will be instances in which a student may not have access to a computer or other extenuating circumstances that may prevent a student from filing an electronic admission application. In these instances, the student may need to file a paper admission application which the campus will need to enter into the CSU electronic admission application system. Therefore, the California State University Office of the Chancellor will maintain a printable version of the admission application online that may be downloaded and printed by campuses, counselors, students, families, and the general public. In such cases, these paper applications will have the same priority for admission as the electronic admission application. Campuses have the absolute obligation to assist every student who needs to complete and submit a paper application in order to apply for admission to the CSU.
The policy requiring the submission of an electronic admission application has been adopted for the following reasons:
Processing the Application for Admission Fee
For applications to an additional campus allowed without additional fee (see policy on "Applications to Closed or Impacted Admission Categories" below), the application fee is retained by the primary campus. Fees are reconciled utilizing the accommodated status reports.
Former Policy on Redirection
Executive Order No. 673 defined CSU redirection as follows:
"Redirection is a process that ensures that applicants for admission who cannot be accommodated at their first-choice campus in their designated major(s) are redirected promptly to other CSU campuses without asking the redirected applicant to (1) complete another admission application, (2) supply another complement of transcripts and test scores, or (3) pay an additional admission application fee. Redirections must occur early enough to provide applicants with viable CSU enrollment options."
As originally designed, redirection was to occur when a campus received an application for an admission category or major that was closed or when the student applicant to an impacted admission category or major, after evaluation, was determined not to meet the supplementary admission criteria for that category or major. As more CSU campuses have declared either campus or program impaction and more students apply to the CSU, the time required to evaluate applications from students who do not meet supplementary admission requirements has tended to increase. Even campuses that are not impacted are closing admission categories earlier, leaving few if any options for redirected applicants. Since redirection cannot occur until the application is evaluated at the initial campus and determined to be below supplementary admission requirement, these conflicting forces have rendered the original concept of redirection obsolete.
As a result, CSU policy on redirection as previously used will cease to exist. The new policy on applications to closed or impacted admission categories described below will become effective October 1, 2004. This policy will apply to applications submitted through the CSU electronic admission application process as well as those instances where paper applications may be required.
Processing of Applications to Closed or Impacted Admission Categories
Applications for admission categories that are closed, whether or not they were ever open, will not be accepted by the CSU electronic admission application system under any circumstances. Students attempting to apply to admission categories that are closed will be provided current information about admission categories and campuses that are open for applications.
Applications for admission categories or programs that are open but not impacted will continue to be processed normally.
For applications for admission categories that are impacted, the following procedures will now apply.
Using the electronic admission application process, CSU campuses will be able to generate
monthly reports on the status of applications that were accommodated and

Then the govt announced that GST hike of 2%. Oops there goes the pay hike. Then the price of necessities, taxi fare, bus fare rose quickly. Your pay hike turns into a pay cut eaten away by inflation. You start to feel sick of the whole situation. But you better NOT get sick because public hospitals and polyclinics have just announced fee hikes.
Singaporeans we are on the march to top 1st world status. So you better work harder, longer and retire later so you can afford that status. At age 70, when you're cleaning those tables, remember that you're cleaning them in a top 1st world country, which means your status as a cleaner is higher than cleaners of lesser countries. All this is brought to you by your extraordinary leaders who works for your interest and the harder they work for your interest, the harder you have to work for your own interest.

New fee hikes at public hospitals and polyclinics
Consultation fees are up at most of them, as demand and costs rise
By Salma Khalik
A NEW round of fee hikes is underway at most public hospitals and some polyclinics. This time, it is consultation fees that are going up, as demand and operating costs continue to rise, say health-care providers.
Subsidised patients at four public hospitals will now pay $24 or $25 for every visit to a specialist clinic, up from about $21. Attendances at specialist clinics have gone up from 2.8 million in 2003 to 3.5 million in 2005.
Only Changi General Hospital and Alexandra Hospital are keeping their charges unchanged at $20.
Polyclinic patients are not spared either. All 18 polyclinics used to charge a standard consultation fee of $8 for adults. They now charge anything from $8 to $8.80.
Similarly, for the elderly and young children, the fee is now between $4 and $4.50, up from $4.
Three polyclinics - Bedok, Bukit Batok and Toa Payoh - started charging more this month. Eight had raised their rates starting more than a year ago. The remaining seven may do so soon.
The increases come just months after a similar round of fee hikes for private patients in March. At that time, the inpatient ward charges for subsidised patients also went up.
One bit of good news - hospitals will continue to absorb the Goods and Services Tax for subsidised patients, so there will no increase when the tax goes up to 7 per cent in July.
A Ministry of Health spokesman said the public hospitals are 'mindful of the impact of any fee revision to patients'.
But she added: 'Inflation, wage increases, drug pricing and others may bring about an increase in the overall cost of providing the services.'
Although the Government gives hospitals and polyclinics a subsidy of $1.7 billion a year, each hospital is left to decide what it wants to charge 'within broad parameters'.
Madam Halimah Yacob, head of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Health, said that although the fees are still affordable despite the increase, people should be told why they have to pay more, 'particularly since some hospitals have opted not to increase their fees'.
They should also alert patients if such increases are 'intended to be a regular feature so that they could better plan their finances.'
Turning to polyclinics, she said the different charges are 'confusing'. If patients start shopping for cheaper rates, it 'may not be good in terms of ensuring continuity and consistency of treatment'.
Most private general practitioners charge between $10 and $16. However, medicines - at $1.40 for a week's supply of each type - are still cheaper at polyclinics. GPs can charge from a few cents to a few dollars for each pill, depending on the medication.
SingHealth Polyclinics said the higher fees are 'due to increased operating costs such as manpower and supplies'.
The National Healthcare Group Polyclinics said it is seeing more patients each year. Polyclinic attendance went up from 3.3 million in 2003 to 3.9 million in 2005.
Patients like Mr Azman Abdullah, 66, a retiree with heart problems, are concerned about bills adding up with repeat visits.
He recounted how a doctor he saw at Jurong Polyclinic gave him three days' worth of medicine and told him to return if he still felt ill.
He said: 'I wasn't well, but I didn't go back as I would have to pay another $4.50.'
He needed an angiogram and was told it would cost $130. But when he got to the Heart Centre, he found out that the test now costs $140.
He eventually had to appeal to a medical social worker for financial aid.

In his defense, Toronto coach Randy Carlyle was giving the Bruins and coach Claude Julien credit for their ability to get the Zdeno Chara-Phil Kessel matchup on the road almost as well as they do it at home.
But in telling the media Sunday that he thinks Chara might play close to 35 minutes for the Bruins in Game 3 Monday at Air Canada Centre, Carlyle showed he's not much of a student of recent Bruins history.
When asked about the matchup with Kessel, Carlyle said and was quoted in the Toronto Sun:
"I'm sure Chara will be out for every defensive zone faceoff. I'm sure Chara will play 35-plus minutes, possibly," said Carlyle. "So, to say that (Kessel) got four minutes Saturday night without playing against Chara, he might not be able to get that (Monday). He might not. It's the ebbs and flows of the game and it depends on how many power plays, how many penalty-killing situations, how many timeouts, how many shifts end with a timeout. All those things play into how many minutes a player is going to get on the ice versus another player."
However, unless Carlyle is planning for an overtime (or possibly a multiple-overtime) thriller in Toronto, it's highly unlikely the Bruins will ask Chara to log that type of ice time.
It's a credit to the Bruins' increased depth since the days of Dave Lewis behind the bench, and even Julien's early days, that the Bruins rarely overtax Chara anymore. This season, Chara's season-high for ice time was 29:23 in a shootout loss to Montreal. The most he played in a regulation game was 27:09 in a win against Ottawa in April.
Last season, he exceeded 30 minutes only twice — both games went beyond the third period — in the regular season. His season-high for a regulation game was 28:43. Even in the playoffs against Washington, Chara only exceeded 30 minutes in the double-overtime loss in Game 2 and the overtime win in Game 6.
It's amazing to think that in the seven-game Stanley Cup Final against Vancouver in 2011, including one overtime game, Chara never passed the 30-minute mark. That playoff season, he went a season-high 37:06 in the double-overtime win in Game 5 of the first-round Montreal series. He exceeded 30 minutes only one other time in the playoffs, in the Game 2 second-round win against Philadelphia, and twice in the regular season.
So the days of Chara being a 30-minute man are long in the past. And even the presence of the amazing Phil Kessel probably won't change that. In fact, it would be foolish for the Bruins, who have aspirations of a long postseason run, to ask Chara to play more minutes than he's accustomed to just to try to shut down Kessel or any of the Maple Leafs' bigger guns. The Bruins are built to get reliable play from their top four most of all, and even from their bottom pair, and that shouldn't change in an effort to get out of the first round.

THE UK Independence Party is planning to field candidates in ALL six Worcestershire seats at next year's general election, it has emerged.
The announcement will have a major impact on the vital seat of Worcester - and could ultimately decide whether it stays Conservative or switches to Labour.
Your Worcester News can reveal how party figures are already working furiously behind the scenes to make sure all the seats have candidates in place within weeks.
It has already selected a candidate for West Worcestershire, dentist Richard Chamings, and in the Wyre Forest, where activist Michael Wrench is in place.
Now it plans to home in on Worcester, where it finished second in eight of the 11 city council seats it contested last week, and go on to fill all the rest in a clean sweep.
James Carver, a UKIP MEP for Worcestershire, said: "We won't be rushed into the selections but we are planning to go into it with candidates in all six seats.
"I do think the turnout at the European elections would have been a lot lower if we hadn't contested it.
"Whether you agree with us not, we're putting candidates up everywhere in Worcestershire and it'll make the other parties scratch their heads.
"Worcester is obviously a marginal seat. We plan to launch a strong campaign across the county and aim to challenge on all fronts."
It comes as a Worcestershire Conservative MP yesterday insisted it was up to the other parties to "communicate better".
Sir Peter Luff, who represents Mid-Worcestershire and is retiring next year, said: "In the European elections people tended to vote with UKIP because it was 'risk free', but a general election is different - you're electing a Government which makes decisions that affect people every day.
"I don't see what policies UKIP have other than leaving Europe - all the main parties need to stand up and communicate theirs in a way everybody understands so they can see we're on their side."
In Worcester, Conservative MP Robin Walker has a 2,982 majority and is up against Labour's Joy Squires, a city councillor, and Louis Stephen for the Greens.
Nationally, UKIP believes it can make a breakthrough in parliament next year, and in the event of no party having an overall majority could hold the balance of power.
Prime Minister David Cameron has ruled out doing any deals with UKIP.

By Ben Hayward | Spanish Football Writer
Where Lionel Messi is concerned, numbers speak louder than words. Every week the Argentina international seems to smash a new record and his two goals against Spartak Moscow on Wednesday bring him even closer to Gerd Muller's mark of 85 strikes in a calendar year.
Messi played his part in Dani Alves' brilliant opener before scuffing a second into the corner with his right and rounding the keeper for a simple finish to make it 3-0 before half-time.
In doing so, he equalled Ruud van Nistelrooy as the second-highest goalscorer in the history of the Champions League with 56 goals, behind only Raul, whose record of 14 doubles in the continental competition was surpassed.
The two goals were also the Argentine's first goals in Russia, meaning he has now scored in all 14 countries in which he has played for Barcelona in the Champions League.
Messi's staggering statistics not only put most forward players to shame, but some club sides too. Here, Goal.com takes a look at how Leo's 80 goals in 2012 stand up to other teams, strikers and rivals in the same calendar year.
80 - Messi's goals for Barcelona and Argentina in 2012. He is currently five behind record-holder Muller, who netted 85 for Bayern Munich and Germany in 1972. Leo has up to nine games left to surpass Muller's mark.
80 - Liverpool have scored 80 times so far in 2012. The Reds' big chance to overtake Messi (if he is still within sight) will come at Christmas - when Spain enjoys a winter break.
76 - AC Milan, last season's Serie A runners-up, Champions League quarter-finalists and Coppa Italia semi-finalists, have scored only 76 times so far in 2012.
76 - The goals scored in this summer's showpiece international tournament - Euro 2012. Messi, of course, did not take part, but will end the year with more strikes than those racked up by the 16 European nations in Poland and Ukraine.
75 - The highest-scoring South American in a calendar year had previously been Pele, with 75 strikes in 1958. Messi is still waiting for the DVD ...
68 - The majority of Leo's goals have come with Barca in 2012, but 12 were scored for Argentina - his most productive year by far for the Albiceleste. Messi, however, was unable to break Gabriel Batistuta's 1998 record as Argentina drew 0-0 with Saudi Arabia last week. One for next year perhaps.
67 - The number of goals Miroslav Klose, the other person who is about to break a Gerd Muller record (his 68 for Germany) has scored in 11 years and eight months of international football. Messi has 31 already for Argentina, at the age of just 25.
66 - Arjen Robben, a player once (peculiarly) compared to Messi by sections of the Spanish media, has scored 66 goals for club and country since moving to Bayern Munich in 2009 - 14 fewer than Leo has netted this year.
62 - In the time it has taken Messi to net 80 goals, Malaga have scored just 62 times - despite finishing fourth in La Liga last season and qualifying for this term's Champions League second round already.
59 - Cristiano Ronaldo's goals for club and country in 2012. He is some way short of his fiercest rival.
54 - So too is Neymar.
42 - Messi's former team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Atletico Madrid's Radamel Falcao, considered by many to be the best striker in the world, have both netted 42 times for club and country this year.
32 - While Leo has smashed 68 goals for Barca in 2012, the club's other forwards have managed just 32 goals between them in the same time frame. Alexis Sanchez has 10, Pedro nine, Cristian Tello seven and David Villa six. Meanwhile, Cesc Fabregas, who has been utilised in forward positions on occasions, has scored nine in the current calendar year.
13 - Messi ended as Pichichi in La Liga last season, with 50 goals, outscoring every team outside the top six apart from Rayo Vallecano (53). Osasuna, Mallorca, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao, Getafe, Real Sociedad, Betis, Espanyol, Zaragoza, Granada, Villarreal, Sporting Gijon and Racing Santander all managed fewer goals than the Argentine.
12 - Juventus' two top scorers in 2012, Mirko Vucinic and Fabio Quagliarella, have netted just 12 apiece in all competitions since the beginning of January.
2 - Alexandre Pato's club goals in 2012. He has none in Serie A during that time.
1 - Messi has admitted he tried to base his game on that of fellow Argentine Pablo Aimar, but the former Valencia man is hardly prolific these days and has scored just one goal for Benfica in 2012.

It seems as though beige is the color that most impresses the America's Most Beautiful Roadster judges.
Big-by-huge chrome wheels don't hurt much either.
Rudy Necoechea's 1932 Ford roadster — painted in a monochromatic metallic beige, wearing large chrome wheels and displayed on a large lit replica of a roulette table — took the nine-foot-tall trophy over the weekend at the 59th annual Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, California. Necoechea had debuted the roadster, which he named Undisputed, at the 2007 Detroit Autorama, but had Scott's Hot Rods of Oxnard, California, rebuild the roadster over the last several months.
According to Justin Padfield, owner of Scott's Hot Rods, every component on the roadster is custom, from the body that the Scott's crew shaped from sheets of sheetmetal, to the chassis that the Scott's crew built to fit the body, to the independent rear axle's centersection that they machined from billet aluminum. The supercharged Chevrolet LS1 V-8 features heads molded to the block, the Necoechea-designed wheels feature lug nut mounting from the rear, and the interior features ostrich skin covering the two percent not surfaced in painted metal.
Padfield said that, while Undisputed did well at Detroit, "We made some errors and were rushed leading up to Detroit, so we blew it apart, down to the frame, and now it's 100 percent better than [it was when it appeared in] Detroit."
Last year's winner, Kevin and Karen Alstott's Radster, a 1935 Ford built by Roger Burman, featured a two-tone maroon-over-beige paint scheme, while the 2006 winner, Ken Reister's Impression, a 7/8-scale 1936 Ford roadster built by Chip Foose, wore monotone beige paint and a two-tone beige interior. Both rode on large-diameter polished billet wheels.
The most anticipated debut at the Grand National Roadster Show, the George Barris-built Ala Kart that Roy Brizio recently restored, contended for the AMBR as well, but instead took home Best Paint and the Blackie Gejeian Award of Excellence.

Andre 3000 solo coming soon, meanwhile annihilates Gorillaz track
February 27, 2012
Andre 3000 is a bit aloof at the moment (other than showing up on a Gillette commercial, for some reason) but there's good reason why…he's in the studio working on a new solo. He resurfaces in an interview in the upcoming issue of GQ, where he discusses his future plans, being a spokesperson for Gillette, and his collaborations with Drake among others. Although he states that we won't be getting anything from the full OutKast ensemble anytime soon, we might soon get a longplayer from the man who has been absolutely devouring his guest appearances on other people's tracks.
Speaking of devouring entire tracks, on this track with the Gorillaz and James Murphy (of LCD Soundsystem), commissioned by Converse for their Three Artists series, 3 Stacks goes in several notices beyond HAM. He takes over around the 1:48 mark, shouts out the members of the Geto Boys, continues rhyming doubletime (158 bpm by my count), keeps excellent breath control, and makes a general mockery of everyone. Yes, everyone, even you, because you'll dance real awkward from this. All jokes aside, and seriously, don't listen to this track on a full stomach. Serious.

Get That Slash Tone … And Style
While Slash's amps, palette of tones, and effects have changed over the years, the heart of his approach to guitar playing was already firmly beating when Guns N' Roses stepped into the studio in 1986 to cut the EP Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide. The four-song recording with overdubbed audience sounds was Geffen Records' way of preparing radio programmers and press across the country for the band's debut full-length.
Fast and furious as Live is, its covers and B-list tunes barely tapped the band's deep creative well. And when Appetite for Destruction came roaring along the next year, it charged across the landscape of the alternative rock that was dominating the airwaves.
Appetite for Destruction still serves as Guns N' Roses' definitive album and the foundation of Slash's searing guitar style. The disc's trifecta of classics, "Welcome to the Jungle," "Sweet Child o' Mine," and "Paradise City," were all powered by his hell-bent-for-leather string slinging.
At the soul of these songs—and his style—is Slash's love for blues. Not the kind from the Delta, the Mississippi hills, or Chicago, but the blues that a core group of British guitarists including Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck had recast in their own image during the 1960s. You can hear their influence reflected in Slash's unsparing use of vibrato, which he decorates with pinched overtones and swatches of creeping feedback, and in the full-tilt application of major pentatonic and minor harmonic scales in his hot rod solos. Slash's interest in harmonic minors gave birth to the unforgettable introduction to "Sweet Child o' Mine," which employs one of that scale's offbeat intervals to achieve a calliope-like sound.
Another Appetite for Destruction chestnut, "Paradise City," remains the defining showcase for Slash's rhythmic vocabulary. His playing on the number is relentless, constantly shifting between power chords, low-string riffs, and arpeggios, creating the juggernaut momentum that propels the tale of the band's struggle for survival in L.A.'s rock and roll underbelly. Throughout the song, Slash also deploys multi-string bends to approximate the weeping steel guitars that are a hallmark of classic country music. Another flourish Slash nicked from country players is the simultaneous use of a flatpick and finger-picking, which allows him to vary the sound of his chords or blend power-strokes with plucked frills.
To get his full rich tone, Slash has always had a no-nonsense, stripped-down approach to his gear. Distortion pedals and a trusty wah-wah were part of his sonic arsenal early on, but even as Guns N' Roses were being courted by labels and tearing up clubs on L.A.'s Sunset Strip, Slash was already relying exclusively on Marshall amps and cabinets to generate his monolithic sound. And he changed tones the good old-fashioned way: by flicking his Les Paul's pick-up selector to different settings, often mid-solo.
The core of Slash's lead sound, however, is a technique perfected by Eric Clapton with Cream in 1966. Back then Clapton dubbed it "woman tone." That's what makes Slash's guitar so honey-like in "Sweet Child o' Mine." The warm, high, wailing sound is achieved—usually to perfection with a humbucker-equipped Les Paul, Explorer, Flying V, or, like Clapton, an SG—by flicking the pick-up switch straight up to the rhythm position, rolling the tone pot all the way down, and turning up a good high-gain amp, traditionally a Marshall.
Though not much of an effects user, Slash colors his tone these days with Velvet Revolver with a Jim Dunlop rack-mounted Crybaby wah controlled by a volume pedal, a noise reduction pedal, a compressor, a Yamaha SPX 900 multi-effects unit (discontinued, now the SPX 2000 is available), a Boss DD-5 digital delay (also discontinued, replaced by the - better - DD-6), a 10-band graphic equalizer, a Boss GE-7 graphic e.q. for solos, and a Dunlop Heil talk box.
Marshall produces a line of Slash amps—100 watt, tube heads wired for classic snarl with two pull knobs for channel switching and extra gain. On stage with Velvet Revolver he prefers a pig-pile of these, including a 50-watt head dedicated exclusively for the talk box. His main tones are generated by four straight-faced 4x12 cabinets, arranged in two stacks and filled with 70-watt Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. Each cabinet gets its own head. The top two run clean; the bottoms are for gnarlier tones.
According to the snakepit.org web site, Slash's setting for his dirty tones are: presence, 7; bass, 7; midrange, 4.5; treble, 7; output master, 6; lead master, 10; input gain, 6.5. His clean tone settings run: presence, 0; bass, 9; midrange, 3; treble, 5 ½; output master, 10; lead master, 0; input gain, 4.
So there you have it. That's all you need to get that Slash tone and style—a Les Paul, a cranked Marshall, and an encyclopedic, imaginative musical vocabulary with subtle and brilliant phrasing that you can spontaneously draw on in front of a screaming crowd, making it look totally effortless. Good luck!

THE DOWNSIDE of democracy is that people are free to choose leaders who are bad for them.
Such is the case in Gaza.
There's no way to explain, rationalize or justify why senior leaders of Hamas have started another deadly exchange of violence with neighboring Israel.
If this terrorist bunch is looking for sympathy from the rest of the world, forget about it. If they're hoping Israel will buckle or cave in this time, they're totally delusional.
If the plan is to somehow light the fuse on a Middle East powder keg that forces Iran to do something, that's probably not going to happen at this time either. Iran's leaders may hate Israel, but they're not stupid. They can't play their trump card - nuclear weapons - when they apparently don't have it.
Another cease fire will stop the rocket exchanges and the killing of innocent civilians, which is good. Hamas, of course, could care less. These terrorists feel that such "collateral damage" is part of the price for making Israel look bad in the eyes of the world.
For decades, the warring parties here have been unable to find a way to live peacefully, side by side. It's hard to be optimistic that this situation is going to change anytime soon.
The best outcome for the 1.67 million people of Gaza is to renounce the leadership of Hamas. Clearly, people must realize that when they're ruled by terrorists, nothing will change. Their leaders are committed to the destruction of Israel, not the well-being of the people they serve.
At the same time, it's in the interest of the governments of Egypt and Turkey to help negotiate a long-term truce that paves the way for peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians. Those two nations have a big stake in stability in that region. They should be in the forefront in the march toward peace.
For now, Hamas is asking Israel to end its attacks and stop targeting the leaders of Hamas. It also wants Israel to lift its blockade of Gaza.
And what will Hamas do in exchange? Essentially nothing. That's laughable.
Israel, of course, must be allowed to defend itself. The United States must stand with and support its long-term ally.
Perhaps the way to break the ongoing cycle of violence is the understanding that no side will get what it wants, and that means compromise. Hamas should also learn a lesson from the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
The PLO used to express its anger with Israel by lobbing rockets from southern Lebanon. Israel stopped it through invasion, which prompted the PLO to negotiate a partial peace over the West Bank.
No one wants a war in Gaza. Serious compromise is the only hope for peace.

When you decide to put your house on the market, it can be tempting to cut out the middle man. However, a 'For Sale By Owner' sign comes with its own set of pitfalls, and sellers should weigh the options carefully before taking this route. Consider these reasons for hiring an experienced broker instead.
Selling your home can be a full-time job in its own right. If you're busy with work, friends and family, you might not be able to dedicate the necessary time for such an undertaking. Arranging and conducting viewings, negotiating with potential buyers, organising paperwork and preparing a marketing strategy are just some of the tasks you'll be responsible for. Brokers can dedicate more attention to these vital steps and are able to judge which buyers meet the correct income and credit requirements. Allowing unqualified candidates to view the property can waste a great deal of time.
Tap into expertise
Professional brokers are highly skilled in a wide range of areas, from selling and negotiating to marketing and networking. They have in-depth knowledge of the relevant financial and legal requirements of putting a property up for sale and are stay up-to-date with local market conditions. Attempting to sell a home without this expertise risks violating regulatory requirements, receiving less than the market value or spending a longer time than necessary completing the transaction. In addition, owners typically overvalue their homes, which is likely to deter potential buyers.
Remain impartial
Selling a home can be an emotional experience, making it difficult to keep a distance when you're embarking on the process alone. While brokers remain dispassionate when listening to criticism of a property, negative feedback is much more difficult for an owner to hear. Having lived in a home also makes it more challenging to see it through a buyer's eyes, so you could overlook its faults. Brokers will spot problems instantly and advise you on simple staging tips that could increase the chance of selling your home, as well as identifying a realistic selling price.
Benefit from exposure
Homeowners simply don't have the resources to market their property to potential buyers as estate agents can. Not only do brokers have their own professional networks, they are also likely to have a tried-and-tested online strategy for publicising the sale of your home. In addition, only licensed brokers are permitted to place properties on industry membership organisations such as the Multiple Listing Service and specialised search engines like Realtor.com. With more and more purchasers finding homes online, these are significant opportunities to miss.
Get the best price for your home in the shortest time possible with the help of Engel & Völkers. Our property experts offer a tailored range of services that take the hassle out of selling your property, ensuring a smooth and speedy process.

Next Game: GPR Away v Gloucester Rugby Fri. Nov. 16th ko 7.45pm live on BT
Quote:SK 88
So presuming this is just to cite a player and not the TMO-send-off-later idea, just how is it any different to what happens now? Ref sees a red card incident: He sends player off. Ref doesn't see red card incident: It's dealt with afterwards.
So what's the point?
Go on. Tell me. This is April 1st come early?
How will the ref get this card out of his pocket as he runs around?
As I understand it, the person reviewing the game (citing officer) can look at anything and everything already so how's this change anything?
Apart from letting refs bottle out of giving yellow or red cards during a game!!
Stupid. Next they'll be getting rid of one prop to give a frontrow of just 2!!

The wet weather pattern this spring and early summer has left a significant number of acres, especially in southeastern MN, unplanted. Current estimates in southeastern MN project 30% of the tillable acres have not been planted and on many of these acres weeds such as giant ragweed, common lambsquarters and waterhemp are thriving.
Although weeds are beneficial from an erosion control perspective their rapid growth will make seedbed preparation for planting cover crops very difficult and weed seed production potential will challenge even the best weed management tactics available in 2014.
Fields that have not been tilled this spring now have weeds that have been growing without crop competition and currently are several feet tall and growing rapidly. Therefore, weed management tactics must be implemented very soon. Fortunately our current string of dry and sunny days does provide a window of opportunity to manage some of the worst fields.
Based on weed size and rapid growing conditions I do not see herbicides as being a viable management option. Broad-spectrum herbicides such as glyphosate, glufosinate, and paraquat are logical choices but due to weed size, effective control is not likely due to incomplete coverage.
Tillage with a disk or field cultivator will also lose effectiveness as weed size increases; however, the disk is likely to perform better than a field cultivator for smaller weeds. At this stage in the growing season mowing or chopping the larger weeds appears to be the most effective recommendation because it will destroy the most plant biomass and it will not expose the soil to wind and water erosion. In some particularly weedy fields, if a cover crop is desired, mowing or chopping will still be necessary before seedbed preparation can begin.
If left untended and without crop competition giant ragweed can produce approximately 10,000; common waterhemp 70,000; and waterhemp 100,000 seeds, or more, per plant. Such large additions to the weed seed bank make next years weed management tactics less effective because as weed density increases herbicide effectiveness decreases.
Seed dormancy also contributes to long-term weed management problems. The estimated time to reduce the weed seed bank by 50% is 12 years for common lambsquarters and 3 years for common waterhemp. Giant ragweed populations tend to decline more rapidly, with estimates of 99% reduction within 2 years if seed is left near the soil surface. A confounding factor to consider is that many giant ragweed and waterhemp populations are likely resistant to glyphosate and/or ALS herbicides.
Attempting to inhibit weed seed viability by applications of 2,4-D or other systemic growth regulators is not recommended because the risks of off-target movement due to volatilization or drift far exceed their effectiveness in inhibiting seed viability. The extended flowering period and rapid seed maturation of weed seed would imply that multiple treatments would be necessary and at best only a small percentage of the seed would be affected.
This is a difficult weed management situation during a difficult growing season, however, action now will pay dividends in the years to follow. It is not realistic to think that all fields in need of weed control will receive treatment. It would be wise to focus your attention on the fields that contain weeds that will be the most difficult to control in next year's crop and have the highest weed densities. Mapping of field areas that you anticipate to be particularly challenging next year is strongly encouraged.

Lady Antebellum Debuts Two New Songs from 'Own the Night' Album [VIDEO]
Two weeks can seem like an eternity when you're waiting for something you really want — and Lady Antebellum fans are feeling it right now, counting down the days until the September 13 release of the band's highly anticipated third album, 'Own the Night.'
But if you've been impatiently marking down the days, we've got some good news — and a pair of new songs for you to enjoy.
Lady Antebellum released a new single Monday, offering the 'Own the Night' track 'Dancin' Away with My Heart' for sale on iTunes. A reflective ballad about love lost, it looks back with lines like "I haven't seen you in ages / Sometimes I find myself wondering where you are / For me you'll always be 18 / And beautiful / And dancing away with my heart."
And thanks to YouTube, fans can also hear the band doing a live performance of another song from the new album, the uptempo track 'Friday Night.' Offering plenty of bright harmonies from Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott, it celebrates carefree love: "I wanna be your lemonade in the shade / Put me in your pocket 'cause you just got paid, babe / I wanna be your Friday night sweet ride / Summertime sunshine barefoot in the moonlight."
Enjoy the new tunes, Lady A fans!
