mew live
i saw mew at academy 2 in manchester last night. really enjoyed it - songs from the new album sounded quite heavy, a nice contrast to the softer stuff of old.
the visuals on the bigh screen were interesting. lots of weird little girl/puppet/beardy-face things singing along with the songs. kind of looked like a chris cunningham interpretation of a borthers grimm fairy tale.
anyone else seen them on this tour? opinions?
I was there last night, I saw them a few years ago but I'd forgotten how good they are live
did you see
that aggro-boy shove a crowd surfer during 'comforting sounds'? weird.
I was kinda in the middle, couldn't really see anything apart from the back of the guy in front of me's head. There were quite a few people going crazy by me though, it was quite strange.
my friend was complaining afterwards that it was probably the largest crowd of freakishly tall people he'd ever seen.
I'm supposed to be seeing them live
in Reading soon. Is it actually that good? I haven't been able to fully get into mew, no idea why
personally i'm looking forward to my luminaries, the sandcreek massacre and broken jack tonight
this really confuses me
do people really think that tracks like Wherever, Tsin-Tsi and Wheels over me are 'bad'?
Orange Dog? this intrigues me...
my impression was
it was some of the synth washes and stuff, but all the guitar and bass parts were definitely live and if the vocals were on backing tape then he's very good at lip-syncing.
Oddly, I don't actually enjoy Mew that much on CD but live they were great fun.
i think some backing vocals were tracked
especially at the end of 'zookeeper's boy'. but that's fair enough.
possibly some of the synths, but the guy with the glasses on the keys at the back was pretty loud in the mix so maybe that was just him and his POWER.

Bringing together my love of drawing and geeking out on the computer, these quite often ended up as screen prints. Screen print is a process I've grown to love because of the restraints it imposes, I loved trying to create a sense of depth with just three or four layers. Often mistakes would be surprisingly pleasing.
After a while of incubation this work began attracting commercial clients (as I hoped it would) and eventually I made the leap to doing it full time.
My work naturally veers towards that blurry border point between science and nature. Recently I've become aware of how much I'm influenced by the countryside in which I live, and my tendency to fictionalise it through drawing.
My ambitions with my work are to keep making it better and continue to evolve as an artist. Presently my output mutated into a two pronged beast; I make these airbrushed sci-fi landscapes and then more hand drawn limited palette pieces – my aim is to carry on joining the dots in between these two styles somehow unifying them more.

Shares of popular hedge fund pick Acorda Therapeutics
The clinical-stage compound is designed to improve mobility for patients with multiple sclerosis. The drug, named Fampridine-SR, is in the second of two phase 3 efficacy clinical trials. These tests will serve as the foundation for an FDA marketing application, if the second study goes according to plan.
The results announced yesterday came from a safety study checking Fampridine-SR's effects on heart rhythm. The type of safety study, called a QT study, is done on nearly all drugs, and negative results with this type of clinical trial are probably the second-leading cause of most drug safety failures in clinical testing (following liver toxicity issues).
Given the jump in shares of Acorda yesterday, I don't have to tell you how the QT study turned out. The next important event for Acorda will be getting results from that second efficacy study in the second quarter of this year. Acorda's management has been a little coy about how long it will take the company to put together a marketing application if that study is successful. The company expects to get the New Drug Application into the FDA "by the first quarter of 2009."
It's been a good two years for Acorda, since the company released data from the first positive phase 3 trial of Fampridine-SR back in 2006. Fampridine-SR is an extended-release version of a drug that has shown efficacy in similar multiple exploratory clinical trials, so I expect it to reach the market.
Fampridine-SR has shown a few safety issues during its clinical testing, so it isn't out of the woods yet. In addition, it doesn't treat or delay the progression of multiple sclerosis. Even so, many interested multiple sclerosis and neurological disease-treating drugmakers like Pfizer

Final Interpretation of Case #1
The cell representations are listed below.
B cells
CD19= 7%CD20= 7%CD10= 0%HLA-DR= 10%CD19/CD5 dual + = 0%Kappa=4%Lambda=3%Interpretation of the above data (refer to the decision tree to assist with interpretation of the case):
T cells
Final conclusion: this is a normal peripheral blood lymphocyte population and there is no indication of a neoplastic process. The B cells that are present, though a small percentage of the total lymphocytes, have no abnormal markers. Most of the lymphocytes in this sample are T cells, yet they are normal as well. The CD markers that should be there are present and there is a good representation of both helper and cytotoxic cells.

What Bribery and Corruption means
- Bribery is a specific offence which concerns the practice of offering something, usually money, to gain an illicit advantage.
- Corruption is an abuse of a position of trust in order to gain an undue advantage.
The Consequences of Bribery and Corruption
Bribery and corruption have serious consequences for companies operating in an international business environment. In such an environment, companies are operating under serious pressure, competition is stiff and margins are tight. This, in conjunction with trying to adapt to unfamiliar legal systems, conventions and specific political circumstances, can make doing business very difficult. There is therefore much depending on whether a company can win a contract, obtain a licence or market a product in good time.
- The consequences of bribery and corruption are very serious from an economic perspective, with the World Bank estimating that 0.5% of GDP is lost each year.
- It also creates and unfavourable business environment, particularly in relation to trade and Foreign Direct Investment and it allows organised crime to thrive unimpeded.
Tackling Bribery and Corruption Globally
Thankfully, the fight against corruption has been strengthened substantially on national and international levels in the last number of years and in the following ways
- The international community has committed itself to a number of international treaties to establish corrupt practices both at home and abroad as criminal offences.
- As part of process to improve prevention and detection individual countries are monitored to see how they comply with their international commitments and whether additional efforts are necessary.
Ireland's Commitment to Tackling Bribery and Corruption
- Ireland is very committed to ensuring that bribes to officials either at home or abroad are treated as criminal offences.
- It is also committed to raising awareness of its obligations under international treaties or conventions so that a level playing field can be created for all companies operating internationally.

As you may have heard the Temple-Inland Inc. paper mill in Bogalusa, LA discharged chemical laden effluent into the Pearl River late last week resulting in a fish kill.
On Tuesday, August 16, 2011 Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper was contacted by Jerry Wagnon, a concerned citizen and 30 year veteran of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (retired). I could tell by the tone of his voice that Jerry was quite upset. Jerry explained to me what he was seeing happen with the fish kill. He relayed to me that the fish kill was much more severe than was being reported at the time and that it appeared to him that the state agencies were not investigating the incident in an adequate manner. Jerry graciously offered for he and his friend and Pearl River Basin resident Denty Crawford to take us out and see what was going on first hand.
We arranged to meet at 9:00a.m. Wednesday August 17, 2011 at Davis Landing near the city of Pearl River, La. Denty and Jerry picked myself and LMRK Media Master Jeffrey Dubinsky up in Denty's aluminum fishing boat. Denty piloted us on a short ride up to the property he owns between West Pearl River and Porters Bayou. It took only a minute or two to begin to see the carnage. At first it was a few fish here and there hung up near the bank of Pearl River but once we got into Porters Bayou it quickly became clogged by large rafts of dead fish and clams. There were every kind of fish that you would expect to find. Channel catfish, flathead catfish, blue catfish, freshwater drum, buffalo fish, American eel and a variety of shad and bream were the easiest to recognize and made up the bulk of the dead fish we saw. There was also a really astounding number of dead clams, many large baseball to softball size clams and smaller clams as well. The other creatures that we saw dead in large numbers were the the larval forms of the dragonfly and the mayfly.
<iframe width="640″ height="390″ src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VXj-ujpxkqY?rel=0″ frameborder="0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
It was really quite astounding. I have never seen anything like it. And we were assured by Jerry and Denty that we were not even seeing half of what was there the day before. Frankly it was disturbing to see what had to be every fish, clam and larvae in the area dead in the water. I know it was particularly difficult for Jerry and Denty. Jerry spent most of his 30 year career with Wildlife and Fisheries protecting the wildlife and fisheries in the Pearl River Basin area and Denty's whole life revolves around the swamp and the rivers there. They are his home and how he makes his living. Denty was particularly upset by all of the dead catfish (what had to be hundreds of pounds worth just in the small area we could see) as he catfishes to raise extra money to help offset some of the expenses he incurs helping mentor troubled youth from his community. Judging by the sheer number of catfish dead at all stages of life; the outlook for the catfish harvest looks grim for the next year or two assuming the fish begin recovering soon. Not to mention the anxiety and uncertainty of wether the fish will even be safe to eat that area residents will understandably feel after this event.
The natural resource damages from this incident are huge. We were over 30 miles as the crow flies from the outfall of the paper mill and we were seeing utter devastation to the aquatic organisms. The area is home to a number of the state of Louisiana's endangered species including the ringed map turtle, the inflated heel-splitter mussel, the Gulf sturgeon and a plant called the Louisiana quillwort. Dead Gulf sturgeon have already been reported amongst the casualties of this event. However, it appears that the state agencies have not been conducting a thorough investigation of this incident. The magnitude of the incident and the sensitive area in which it occurred calls for a rigorous investigation into the kinds and amounts of toxic materials released, the species and numbers of organisms killed and all potential impacts that this event will have on the ecosystem and the animal and human communities that exist there.
This event also sends a clear message that we also are seeing at other facilities; paper mills in this state have been allowed to use outdated and inadequate treatment processes on their waste streams. All paper mills in Louisiana must be upgraded to the maximum achievable control technology as the impacts from these facilities are unacceptable and represent a significant burden on the nearby ecosystems. It is only fair that a company that is making a profit from some of our natural resources do everything that they can to prevent their operations from damaging other natural resources relied upon by others like Denty Crawford.
Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper took samples of water and affected organisms during the outing and will test them for materials likely to be found in paper mill effluent. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep everyone informed of our findings.

The FlowJo® application's new plugin framework makes developing a plugin simple. With several helper methods and some insight from the developer documentation, a useful plugin for the FlowJo application can be created relatively quickly.
I spent about two weeks developing a plugin that interfaces with an AWS S3 server to store workspaces. With this functionality, users can upload working backups of their workspace and share the workspace among other FlowJo users. Workspaces can be uploaded when saving as well as downloading the most recent version of the workspace from the server if they choose to do so when sharing a workspace among peers.
The development process began with meeting application scientists to create a requirements document that included concrete use cases for the plugin. Wireframes were generated to explore how the user interacts with the plugin. After the wireframes were created, all of the user interactions were written into the plugin's functional spec. After all of the criteria were set, the actual engineering began, and it was nearly plug-and-play from that point.
Developing this plugin did not come without bumps in the road relating to both the AWS S3 SDK and how it interacts with Java, as well as how FlowJo handles third-party JAR dependencies. The AWS S3 library relies on several third-party JARs, which complicated some of the integration with the FlowJo plugin framework. However, creating these plugins gave us insight on how we can improve the plugin framework. As of FlowJo version 10.2, the plugin framework allows including the third party JARs within the Support folder within the Plugins folder, allowing developers to incorporate third-party JARs better when creating plugins for FlowJo.

Listen to OIC's Wide World of Option 54: The Rebranding of OCC and Stock Repair On Profiles & Pe...
When to Favor Options Over Stocks
05/14/2014 8:00 am EST
Focus: OPTIONS
Traders choose options over stocks for their versatility and limited risk, but there are certain drawbacks as well, and these three considerations are crucial when choosing which vehicle to buy or sell, says Jeff White of TheStockBandit.com.
Traders face many hard decisions every day: Buy or sell, add or lighten, stand aside or get involved. Among them is the choice between trading options or common stock.
There are no doubt certain benefits and shortcomings of both choices, as everything literally is a tradeoff.
Common stock is usually much more liquid, it can be traded in the after hours or premarket, and it's by definition 100% exposure to the company. However, it is more capital intensive since it's not a leveraged position, which means less room for other positions in an account. Common stock alone is also going to carry with it greater dollar risk, as a major headline can bring tremendous gap trading potential.
Options are leveraged, they offer lots of versatility and possibilities (speculation, hedging, income, etc.), and they are less capital intensive. However, liquidity is often inferior compared to common stock, options can't be traded as many hours of the day as stocks can, and options offer only fractional exposure to the underlying stock.
The Case for Options
Options can be an excellent vehicle for trading, however, provided the situation is well-suited to them. The three biggest considerations for options traders are:
- Time frame for the trade;
- Liquidity of the options being traded, and;
- Risk involved in the trade
Let's break each of these factors down in greater detail.
Time Frame
First things first: The time you expect to be in the play is important because options will carry a bid/ask spread often times up to 10-15 cents. For a stock, that's not a huge deal, but for an option, which might only be trading a $2 or lower, that's a big percentage if you pay the spread both ways (market order getting in and getting out).
So if you're looking at being in a trade for at least a couple days, that's usually much better for an options trade than if you're just looking to scalp it over the next half hour.
NEXT PAGE: Liquidity, Risk, and Specific Times to Choose Options Over Stocks|pagebreak|
Second, there are quite a few stocks that have high trading volume, but for whatever reason, their options are just not heavily traded. For any trade I take, be it for a stock or an option, I want to feel confident there will be buyers when I go to sell, and sellers when I go to buy. Sufficient liquidity is a requirement for any trade, whether in options or common stock.
So taking a look at the open interest, the volume, and the bid/ask spread is important for gauging the liquidity of the options.
When in doubt, take a look at the highly liquid options on the PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ), or the S&P 500 (SPY), or mega-cap stocks like Microsoft, Inc. (MSFT) or Intel (INTC). That will help you get a feel for how tight the market is in the options you're considering. You don't ever want to be the "big player" in any contract.
Third, limited risk is an advantage that options carry, such as buying put options versus being short stock. Risk is defined with the puts, and is theoretically unlimited with the short stock. Options are a great choice in particular when the stock has the potential to gap big, whether due to news coming out or simply based upon recent price history of the stock.
Always consider the risk involved when weighing options versus common stock, as that's an important element of the decision making process.
Finally, here are a few specific occasions to opt for options over the common shares:
- In front of big news (earnings, conference calls, or anything else scheduled)
- When limited on capital (the leverage of options helps offset a limited amount of funds)
- When the stock moves are too shaky to sit through (when a really wide stop is necessary)
- When your trading time frame is between a couple days and a few weeks

This video offers novice and professional hoof
trimmers and farriers a practical, common sense
approach to trimming horses that live in the wet
environment. From an equine perspective, a wet
environment is any environment other than the high
desert. For example whether your horse lives in the
damp Pacific Northwest or an irrigated pasture in
Kentucky, whether irrigated by man or by God, the
result is the same, a soft, distorted foot. There
are many factors that influence a successful
barefoot management program. The environment in
which the horse lives and works, performance
expectations, hoof conformation, and soundness
concerns are discussed. This video covers 3 horses
that represent a cross section of feet. You will
see examples of trimming young horses, neglected
horses, and reasonably good-footed horses with
minimal hoof distortions. Each demonstration offers
good insight into foot function, recognizing hoof
distortion, and common sense" trimming guidelines.

Horse Publishing
This DVD series
was developed to give viewers a common sense
approach to shoeing horses in all types of
environments, but with emphasis on the moist
environment, when ever and where ever too much
moisture challenges the integrity to the over-all
health of the foot. At Mission Farrier School, we
teach horseshoeing in the Pacific Northwest;
however moist environments can found in many
places; Hawaii, California, Florida, Kentucky:
any place where there are irrigated pastures. The
equine foot was designed to be as hard or harder
than the environment in which the horse lives and
is expected to work. A flexible foot is not a
good foot. It is a foot already "at risk". Living
and working as we do in a moist environment, we
see a lot of flexible feet, and most of them are
in trouble to some degree. If you are a beginning
farrier, we believe that if you can learn to shoe
horses here; with some common sense, you'll be
able to go anywhere and successfully meet the
needs of a horse. If you already have an
established farrier business, we hope this DVD
will help you evaluate, trim and shoe horses to
meet their needs, given the environment in which
they live. Thanks for watching.
This is a
2-Disc DVD set with a combined run time of
approximately 150 minutes. Highlights include:
conformation & environmental considerations,

& Craftsmanship
~ Basic Technique & Skill Development
Wild Horse Publishing
At Mission
Farrier School, our emphasis is on three key
areas of study: Relevant Hoof Science, Good
Horsemanship, and Craftsmanship. In this DVD,
our focus is on craftsmanship. It's important
to be the best craftsman you can be to properly
meet the needs of the horses in your clientele.
This means you need to put the time in at the
forge and anvil. Since the advent of keg shoes,
or ready-mades in the early 1900's, quality
craftsmanship by farriers all but disappeared
mid-way through the last century. The term
"ready-made shoes" implied that shoes were
ready to nail on. And along with this loss of
forging skills the application of the
ready-made pattern also lead to the demise of
the understanding of what a horse's foot should
look like. And while we've come a long way in
the last 25 years, and now we have a vast
inventory of front and hind pattern shoes,
there is still an intense need to learn how to
properly shape a keg shoe to meet the needs of
the individual horse. This 2-Disc DVD set will
give you the basic techniques & skills
necessary for the most common forging tasks of
today's farrier, as well as guidelines for
producing quality hand-made shoes.
This is a
2-Disc DVD set with a combined run time of
approximately 120 minutes. Topics include:
basic keg shoe modifications, pulling clips,
lengthening stock (heels), modifying
fronts-to-hinds and hinds-to-fronts, and basic
shoeing making (hand-mades).

Mark Plumlee introduces the viewer to Thunder, an 8 year
old Mustang that ran out in the wild until he was 5. Even
though he has been domesticated now for a couple of years, as
a youngster, Thunder had the ultimate environment to develop
a healthy foot. After maintaining a traditional shoeing
practice for 20 years and as a third generation farrier, Mark
gained exposure to Natural Balance Farrier Science in 1993
and has enthusiastically pursued it's advancement since that
time. As shown in this video, even healthy feet can be led
into distortion by the environmental influences of
domestication. Mark shows how shoeing to Natural Balance
parameters addresses that distortion.

<Cross-posting from Sanjay Jain's blog entry>
We are ready to host our 1st xRM Acceleration Lab from 14th Dec'09 to 18th Dec'09 at Microsoft Technology Center, Chicago, IL. This is an exclusive event tailored for leading industry ISVs. We would cover Executive Briefing (EB), Architecture Design Sessions (ADS), and Proof of Concept (POC) with the help of your team, on-site Microsoft experts, and off-shore development team, plus you would have access to Microsoft Dynamics Executives, all in one week.
I'll be participating in this event as an advisor for one of the ISV teams. We did a couple of events last year similar to this focused around startups called the CRM Incubation Week, however this time around working with leading ISVs will be a different experience and we'll be blogging more about these on-site and will share our findings and experiences with the community.
If you have any more ideas for events like these or would like to conduct one of these events in your area, please let us know.

Once again it comes down to the final games of the regular season for the New York Red Bulls to make a push to either make the playoffs or as they showed last year to earn their first Supporters Shield in club history. The lone goal came at the start of the second half as Thierry Henry gets to the right place at the right time.
After Richard Eckersley won the ball and sent a nice pass to Lloyd Sam, he attacked down the near side and then got into the area for a great cross looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips. But Tyler Deric push the ball away into an open area and trailing the rebound was Henry who had enough time and space to clean up the mess and stuff it home inside the far post.
Of course all of us were hoping to see Bradley Wright-Phillips get closer to breaking that goal scoring record and chip away as he has been a terror against the Houston Dynamo scoring 6 goals in four regular season games, sadly he has gone goal-less in two consecutive games for the first time since April. But he had plenty of chances to at least get one as he either nailed the crossbar or the Dynamo defenders at a last gasp prevented him from get the shots into the back of the net.
But sadly the recent talk has been about Tim Cahill coming off the bench or not playing the way he should be playing. It has been a bit of a down year for him scoring two goals and going away on international duty for Australia, but that moment where he just subbed into the game then get ejected. From coming on in the 85th minute till the tackle that sent him off in the 88th minute, Cahill will serve his suspension when he returns from his two friendly games for his country.
But the most important moment for the Red Bulls was earning the full three points and going up in the east standings to fourth place as the Columbus Crew lost to the New England Revolution. A lot of things need to go right for the Red Bulls to possibly advance to a better position to host a first round tie and get out of the Wild Card game.
Hopefully this flair up between Cahill & Petke can get fixed quickly like the flair up between Henry & Petke last year, because as of right now the Red Bulls need their designated players just as much as they need the rest of the squad to make a big playoff run.

Savita's Law?
Savita Halappanavar's death from sepsis in 2012 was a tragedy for her, her husband, her family, and her unborn child.
As a result of errors made by the hospital, and a lack of legal clarity, Ireland brought in the The Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act (2013) to make sure cases like Savita's were dealt with more swiftly, thereby trying to ensure a better outcome for mother and (where possible) baby.
But despite the 2013 law, which goes a long way towards this tragedy ever happening again, it has been a huge surprise to still see Savita as an icon of abortion pressure groups in Ireland and around the word ever since 2012. Savita's parents have been the high-profile face of the recent referendum on the Eight Amendment. Now there is talk of a new law bearing Savita's name, a law that many see as effectively allowing 'abortion on demand', similar to the UK's 1967 Abortion Act.
25th May 2018 was a sad day for Ireland with 66% of the populace wanting to see the 8th Amendment repealed. Even sadder to see the crowds partying, despite the victorious politicians trying to discourage such tasteless displays and instead trying to engender a more sober, reflective, atmosphere.
Savita's parents Akkamahadevi Yalgi and Andanappa Yalgi told the BBC that ,"It was a battle of six years and the battle is won, her soul will rest in peace now."
My question is "Why?". Why, when you have lost a daughter and an unborn grandchild, campaign for more death? More taking of life? More bloodshed? Why have your daughter's name immortalised in a law that will represent the taking of life?
I believe that Mr and Mrs Yalgi have sought too much publicity, and have sought to blame a nation's laws for the death of their daughter. Laws which have already been improved. Surely they must realise that all pregnancy has its risks? Yes, the hospital blundered, and a tragedy ensued, but to travel the road from 2012, via the new 2013 law, to 2018's repeal of the 8th Amendment is, frankly, inconceivable. There must also be the possibility that pro-abortion groups have shamelessly manipulated the Yalgis to push for this referendum.
It is my hope and prayer that, in time, Mr and Mrs Yalgi will regret the changes they have helped usher in.

Dubbing (filmmaking) - Wikipedia. Dubbing,mixing, or re- recording is a post- production process used in filmmaking and video production in which additional or supplementary recordings are . After sound editors edit and prepare all necessary tracks (dialogue, automated dialogue replacement (ADR), effects, Foley, and music), the dubbing mixer or mixers proceed to balance all of the elements and record the finished soundtrack.
Dubbing is sometimes confused with ADR, also known as . Today, dubbing enables the screening of audiovisual material to a mass audience in countries where viewers do not speak the same language as the performers in the original production.
In foreign distribution, dubbing is common in theatrically released films, television films, television series, cartoons, and anime. In India the process is simply known as . Accompanying noise from the set, equipment, traffic, wind, and the surrounding environment often results in unusable production sound. During post- production, a supervising sound editor, or ADR supervisor, reviews all of the dialogue in the film and decides which lines must be re- recorded. For animation, such as computer- generated imagery or animated cartoons, dialogue is recorded to match a pre- edited version of the show. Although the characters' voices are recorded in a studio, ADR is necessary whenever members of the cast cannot all be present at once.
The actor, usually the original actor from the set, views the scene with the original sound, then attempts to recreate the performance. Over the course of multiple takes, the actor performs the lines while watching the scene; the most suitable take becomes the final version. One famous example is the Star Wars character Darth Vader portrayed by David Prowse; in post- production, James Earl Jones dubbed the voice of Vader. This technique was used by Billy Boyd and Viggo Mortensen in The Lord of the Rings.

In many countries, actors who regularly perform this duty remain little- known, with the exception of particular circles (such as anime fandom) or when their voices have become synonymous with roles or actors whose voices they usually dub. In the United States, many of these voice artists may employ pseudonyms or go uncredited due to Screen Actors Guild regulations or the desire to dissociate themselves from the role. Especially in comedies and animated movies, famous local actors may be hired to perform the dubbing, as their names are intended to attract a local audience; the entire cast may be dubbed by a local cast of similar familiarity. This method is used in TV broadcasting, but dubbing is also used in these countries.

There have, however, been notable examples of films and TV programmes successfully dubbed in the UK, such as the Japanese Monkey and French Magic Roundabout series.
When airing films on television, channels in the UK often choose subtitling over dubbing, even if a dubbing in English exists.

Shakespeare at the 2012 Olympics
Next year, athletes from every sport from every corner of the world will reunite in London to participate in one of the most anticipated event of the year. Swimmers, basketballers, boxers, tennismen and many others are going to meet at the 2012 Olympics Games in the British Capital to compete against each other in their respective disciplines in the hope of getting the "so – desired" gold medal. I can predict that 2012 is going to be a very electric year!
But the real star of the show is going to be William Shakespeare… Surprised? I was too when I discovered that the 38 plays he produced are all going to be performed in a different language to mark the 2012 London Olympics. From Italian to Lithuanian, Stagings of Julius Caesar to King Lear, sport to theatre, there is just one step. For all the Shakespeare's lovers out there, the six-week theatre season (part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad) will start on 23 April at the Shakespeare's Globe theatre, so don't be late… Read more

RISO Brings Its Tree Planting Efforts to Flordia
Friday, November 14, 2008
Press release from the issuing companyDANVERS, Mass. & TAMPA, Fla., Nov 13, 2008 -- RISO, Inc., a leader in digital printing technology, today announced that the company's Tampa-Orlando-Ft. Meyers branch, in conjunction with Tampa's Mayor's Beautification Program and the Parks and Recreation Department, planted a tree in Al Lopez Park. As part of the tree planting ceremony, Thom Snelling, Tampa's first Green Officer, dedicated the large tree that was secured from a local nursery.
"Through our partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, we are honored to make a positive impact on the communities that we serve," said Ted Funsch, Tampa-Orlando-Ft. Meyers Branch Sales Manager for RISO, Inc. "We are pleased to support today's tree planting in conjunction with the Mayor's Beautification Program and the Tampa Parks and Recreation Department."
RISO, a provider of environmentally-friendly high speed color inkjet printers and duplicators, launched a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation earlier this year to help plant 100,000 trees. To further this effort with the Arbor Day Foundation, RISO recently implemented a tree planting campaign with the company's branch offices across the United States. Today's tree planting took place in Tampa's Al Lopez Park, which is made up of approximately 132 acres of Florida wildlife and two ponds.
In addition to planting trees, RISO's various printing products have a lower environmental impact than traditional printing technologies that in turn help customers conserve energy, reduce waste and use environmentally-friendly features such as soy-based inks. For example, RISO's digital duplicators earned the ENERGY STAR rating for low energy use, requiring as little astwo amps electrical current when producing copies, or less energy than three light bulbs. In a recent study comparing electricity consumption, RISO digital duplicators showed 95 percent cost savings over many traditional toner-based copiers or MFPs.

Hi Everyone – just wanted to share a few thoughts with you –
We have now come to the climax of the Easter season with the feasts of Ascension and Pentecost and as I wonder on what to say I have tried to take as a basis " taking up the challenge of living the Gospel values". These values are of course very familiar with us and we can almost forget some of them without thinking, each day we try to live out the values of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness etc and these are of course just some of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. These fruits, alongside the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit are the foundations in which we can build a life of Holiness. Just a little over a year ago we celebrated a wonderful celebration for the Vigil of Pentecost with 4 readings and taking the form of another Eater Vigil – (the occasion being my Abbatial Blessing Day) and it has been a somewhat very challenging year both for me and for the Community! It has been said that I have had 'a Baptism of an introduction to the task of being a superior', and it no doubt will continue to be!
Pentecost was originally called the Feast of Weeks and was an agricultural feast which was celebrated in May or June in way of Thanksgiving to God for the grain harvest, (but we can offer ourselves to God instead), it was celebrated 7 weeks (or 50 days) after the feast of Passover. This feast was developed somewhat by the time that Our Lord was living, the Feast of weeks had acquired a new meaning. Since it followed 50 days after the celebration of Passover which commemorated the exodus, Pentecost as it was now called, had become a commemoration of the giving of the Covenant and Law at Sinai after the Exodus. The wind from heaven and tongues of fire in Acts echos Exodus which describes the thunder and smoke on Mt. Sinai when God gave the covenant. It is at Pentecost that we see God's gift of the new Law, and that new law is the Holy Spirit.
This is something which we are all called to do as Jesus taught us a way by his example, he left us help on the day of Pentecost, we receive this help first at our Baptism, then at our Confirmation but have to continue through life's little journey. Just as these are the foundations (the gift's & the fruit's of the Holy Spirit), for our lives which calls us to a continuous renewal of the way we live. We need to take a step back occasionally and look at the foundations of our rule and see how we can get to the spirit of what and how St. Benedict asks us to live. Our vow of Conversion asks us to be continually open to this and to keep that renewal at heart.
So going back to living the gospel values, we should go back to 14 short weeks ago when on Ash Wed we were full of zeal to give up everything and anything to do that bit of extra for the Lord in an attempt to better our lives. During these 6 weeks or so we ready for anything, knowing that at Easter all our attempts will come to an end in one sense. But where has that left us now? Have we become too slack again and drifted away? It is a time to be open to the Holy Spirit and to 'Listen' as St. Benedict tells us to with the 'ear of our heart' as well as our ears and mind, and to deepen our commitment to God through a renewal in ourselves and let the Holy Spirit flow through us – being able to sing along with the responsorial Psalm for Pentecost 'Send forth your Spirit Lord, and renew the face of the earth'.
It has been wonderful to journey this last year with you even though its been difficult at times, I hope that there is something inspirational in what I am writing. Thank you all for your prayers and support!

Casa De Pan
(Juarez, Mexico)
project goal
currently funded
Casa de Pan (House of Bread) is a ministry in Anapra, Mexico, that seeks to assist families in desperate need for their physical survival, with food assistance. The violence in Mexico, coupled with tough economic times, has left many in the border region struggling to make ends meet.
Casa de Pan has come alongside a local church in Anapra, and is currently helping 24 families with weekly food support. Each family is given food to provide 3 meals per person, per week, for a 3 month period of time. One Billion Care is helping fund the daily meal for these families. We can provide a meal for .20 cents per person.
Pastor Elias has pastored a church in Canutillo, TX, as well as planted two churches in the Juarez area. In 2011, Pastor Elias and his team were moved to do more for those in the Juarez / Anapra area, who were struggling to meet ends meet. In December, they began construction in the church building in Anapra, where the goods could be stored for Casa de Pan. In January of 2012, Casa de Pan opened its doors, and began providing food for the families in greatest need.
Casa de Pan is in its infancy. In the future, we believe this model will be multiplied to other churches or organizations both in Mexico, and around the world. Because the program is targeted towards specific families, there will be future opportunities to help with other needs, which could include job training, as well as other items needed for daily living.
Juana is a single mother of nine children. She attends the church in Anapra. Presently, she has no job, and no source of income. Recently, the government has threatened to take her children away, because she is unable to provide for their needs. Casa de Pan is helping Juana in her time of desperate need.

The Knife & Fork Inn, the special-occasion-celebration location for generations of people in and around Atlantic City, is about to celebrate a special occasion of its own.
The landmark restaurant is getting ready to host a 100th anniversary party Oct. 4 — for itself.
Since opening as a private club for wealthy local businessmen in 1912, the Knife & Fork has survived Prohibition, the Great Depression and many more business busts — including Atlantic City's own long, slow slide into economic stagnation in the 1960s and '70s, before the casinos opened and started another boom.
But the Knife & Fork has also managed to last through a series of building booms in a city that, when a local landmark gets in the way of the promise of progress, has historically knocked down the landmark first and missed it later.
"Atlantic City goes through so many changes, and this restaurant survives," said Frank Dougherty, who has owned the restaurant since 2005, when he bought it from the previous owners of more than 75 years, the Latz family.
Dougherty knows a few things about old restaurants: He is a member of the fourth generation of his family to run Dock's Oyster House, which his great-grandfather, Harry Dougherty, opened in 1897. But even though Dock's has been in business longer, the Knife & Fork has the older building. Frank said the family moved Dock's to its current Atlantic Avenue location in 1925.
So yes, the Knife & Fork undoubtedly has a special place in Atlantic City's history.
"It was the hub of where the politicians ate, where celebrities came to dine," said Vicki Gold-Levi, who grew up in the city and wrote a 1979 history of the town, a book called "Atlantic City: 125 Years of Ocean Madness."
In 1978, the now-late Jim Latz — who grew up above the restaurant and ran it for decades in a successful but combative partnership with his brother, Mack — told an interviewer some of the faces he saw in the dining rooms: "Bob Hope has been there on several occasions. ... Perry Como (and) his whole group. ... Harry James. Betty Grable. Duke Ellington only once (and) his son, Mercer." The list went on.
In much of its promotion these days, the restaurant uses a tag line — "Nucky ate here. Shouldn't you?" — emphasizing how the Knife & Fork's bloodlines reach back to an era when Nucky Johnson, the basis of the main character on HBO's "Boardwalk Empire," was the political boss of Atlantic City. But those roots run even farther back: A plaque listing the Knife & Fork's 1912 founders includes the name of Louis Kuehnle, also known as "the Commodore," who ran the town before Nucky.
On a recent tour of the restaurant, Dougherty showed visitors the old lockers, discreetly hidden below the banquette seats around the walls of the second-floor dining room, where the members of that private founders' club secretly stashed their booze during Prohibition. Then, in a different spot on the same floor, he went to the Pageant Room, a spot for private parties and meetings, to mention some of its place in history.
"The story is that this is where the Resorts deal was signed," Dougherty said — meaning the deal for Resorts International to come to Atlantic City in 1978 as the first legal casino in town.
And because they were in charge of this social and deal-making hub, the Latz brothers became local celebrities of sorts themselves. For years, they were known for having to take turns running the restaurant — Mack was in charge one week, Jim the next. Mack also has the Knife & Fork's crest tatooed on the back of his hand.
The brothers took over from their parents, Milton and Evelyn Latz, who started operating the restaurant in 1927. And Mack's son, Andrew Latz, was the third generation of the family to run the Knife & Fork when Mack sold it to Dougherty — over Andrew's public objections, in court. A judge eventually approved the sale. (Andrew, who now owns Latz's By The Bay, a Somers Point restaurant, couldn't be reached for this story.)
Along with its place in local history, the Knife & Fork has an unusual place in Atlantic City's geography.
It sits at the odd intersection where Albany Avenue — one of just two direct routes between the city and the mainland when the Knife & Fork was new — meets Atlantic and Pacific avenues. Those two main streets run parallel to each other through miles of Atlantic City but angle into each other for a few blocks to come together almost at the Knife & Fork's front door.
And that strange-shaped property contributed to the architecture that also made the restaurant a landmark. A 1970s survey of historic buildings in Atlantic City noted that the Knife & Fork "combines Flemish, Tudor and Swiss chalet" features in its design. Dougherty points out that the building has a concave shape, too — as its walls run from the corners of the building into the center, they bow slightly inward, so the restaurants rooms are a bit narrower in the middle than they are at the outer edges.
The outer walls are also 2½ feet thick, Dougherty said — at least in the basement, now the restaurant's prep and dessert kitchen.
Then there are those signature crests, which leave visitors no doubt about the identity of the restaurant they're walking into. The owner counts 32 pairs of knives and forks on the outside walls — most of them crossed into X patterns, but one pair sitting side by side. The biggest pair of utensils is more than 2 feet long, Dougherty said.
But for all its status as a landmark, the Knife & Fork has survived for a century mostly because of its success as a restaurant.
"As long as I can remember, it was in the elite" among the city's fine-dining spots, said Allen "Boo" Pergament, 80, who grew up in Atlantic City and keeps a museum of city history stuffed into a few rooms of his Margate home. "It was expensive, but you got what you paid for."
Among Pergament's collection, he has maps that show a Knife & Fork Inn at the current location as far back as 1908 — four years before plaques in and on the restaurant say it opened.
Dougherty plans to celebrate the 100th birthday of the legendary spot Oct. 4 with a party featuring "gourmet food, open bar and live music." The restaurant is selling 300 tickets at $150 apiece and will donate the proceeds to the Joseph and Arleen Dougherty Scholarship Fund at Atlantic Cape Community College, which the family set up in honor of Frank's parents. The Knife & Fork normally seats about 220 people but will add a tent outside to accomodate the party.
Frank said his late father and mother, who ran Dock's, took him and his brother, Joe, to the Knife & Fork when they were kids to celebrate big family occasions.
Gold-Levi also has memories of the restaurant from her childhood in the city.
"And today, I still get a thrill when someone says, 'Let's go to the Knife & Fork,'" said the author, who now lives in New York. "That childhood thrill comes back — 'Ooh, the Knife & Fork' — that was special."

On February 11th, SID had been appearing in a one-time-only CM during the TV Asahi Show [Ikinari!Ogon Densetsu.] to reveale a certain announcement, which turned out to be...
The CM was aired during the later half of the program. Until then, there had been live pictures, which varied from the usual. And then there was the announcement, which would be only made once. The specific contents where the announcement of their live performance on July 31st at Saitama Super Arena! For the band, which had been looking back on two years since their major debut, this was certainly news worthy, much like it was for the fans.
Moreover, when speaking of SID, it comes back to the live DVD which they had just been releasing on February 10th in commemoration of their last tour with the title "SIDNAD Vol.4~TOUR 2009 hikari". On the day of its release the DVD had also been ranking in the top most spot of the ORICON DVD Charts. In addition, their new single [sleep], which will be released on March 3rd, has made it onto a frequently used lyrics site and the lyrics were titled to be cry-worthy even without knowing the song's melody. It seems the band is still developing itself a great deal.
Since their next big live is scheduled for Saitama Super Arena, everyone should be looking forward to a great performance!!
