JSC "Aviaagregat"
JSC "Aviaagregat" - Russian enterprise engaged in manufacturing and designing chassis for different types of aircraft.
Short story
It began the history of the plant "Aviaagregat" in 1932 in the village of Stupino, Moscow region. But 1941 year, in the first months of the Great Patriotic War, production was moved to the city of Samara (former Kuibyshev).
The plant in 1949 year goes to the landing gear for aircraft mainly heavy and medium classes. The company has survived more or less stable first half of 90-x - a time when the country entered into a market economy, in particular, against the backdrop of a series of bankruptcies of the largest plants. But 1996-1997's ubiquitous wave of the crisis has reached and "Aviaagregat". Almost two-thirds of the volume of production declined, falling to 32 1995 percent from the level of the year.
Slightly less than half of the working team (1460 workers from 2744) were laid off. At the beginning of the year 1997, it was obvious that the company will not be able to get out of debt hinges on their own. External control was introduced on "Aviaagregat" in May 1997 years.
Dylyuk Vladimir, President of JSC "Samara cars" was appointed external manager of the plant. Fists Gennady took the position of executive director. Dylyuk designed program out of default, that in 1998 year led to a significant increase in output 5 percent compared with the previous year - up to 69,6 million.
Debts to "Samaraenergo" for electricity fell to six million rubles sixteen. Only the first five months of the year were settled 1999 18 89 million rubles from accounts payable. After reaching a stable positive results in the external management "Aviaagregat" was filmed. In the hands of Kulakov completely shifted the company's management.
Since the beginning of the year 2000 in a relatively stable position is "Aviaagregat". Proceeds from sale of services and products has reached 2005 664 million (excluding VAT), which 3,9 percent increase compared with the index 2004 years. The net profit of the plant reached 18,8 million. The team of workers of the plant at the time consisted of 1867 worker, the average salary of industrial-production personnel has more than 7 thousand rubles, it has grown over the year 2 percent.
According to the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation in 2008, the open joint stock company "Aviaagregat" it became part of the State Corporation "Russian Technologies". The state corporation has audited the company and found a fist in 2008 year without addressing the shareholders' meeting, without permission, significantly changed the terms of his employment contract, which it every month to pay additional premiums (payments).
Only one 2010, he was handed over 18 million rubles, an increase of one million rubles than the entire net profit of the company for the nine months of the year. Kulakov has made similar changes in the employment contract of his son G. Kulakov, which he gave to the plant director of finance. Payments son Kulakov reached 25 million rubles, and this despite the fact that at that time the company the average salary is 17 225 rubles.
Fists in 2008 year also sold no one limited liability company "P-Invest" for 4,5 million rubles industrial buildings at their estimated market value of about 80 million. Then these same body were leased to the company, as the plant without them could not carry out their production. During the year the annual rent for the plant cost nearly one million rubles more than the amount for which these buildings have been sold "P-Invest".
Net profit of "Aviaagregat" in 2010, almost twice reduced in comparison with the year 2009, 36 to millions of rubles. Zza the same period, accounts payable increased by 26,8 percent.

History has a tendency to repeat itself, so most anything has the ability to return, maybe it will not be exactly the same way it used to be, but in essence it will be the return of the cult. A cult is group of people who strongly share the same belief, all it takes is people to all feel the same way about that belief for it to come back.
Not sure exactly what this cult was into, but history has taught us that it will repeat itself. Not only that, but I believe cults are partial of what people believe in, so all it takes is a group of people who strongly hold those beliefs and are willing to band together and recreate the old cult.
I believe that Hellenistic cults have never left. Most cults are Christian-oriented. Most Paganism is not worshiping the devil. Pagans basically worship nature. They believe in karma and state you get out of the universe what you put in the universe. The Hellenistic cults are from the Christian demon Satan. Paganism and Hellenistic cults are not the same!
There is a lot of wisdom in the phrase "everything old is new again" and it especially pertains to history. History tends to repeat itself (sorry for the cliches but they become cliches for a reason) and people, even as they progress, tend to return to simpler ways and minimalist ways. Consider how organic farming has returned as a "trend." The same could and likely will happen with Hellenistic cults and similar things.
Not in so much as "could they could return" if they in theory actually went away at all. Hellenistic is a broad term used to denote those individuals back in history from Greek and Roman times, who worshipped alternative Gods, and even gave themselves that designation, i.E. Within the Pharaohs of the Egyptian culture. Ritualistic practices included magic and the like also. There are countless individuals, who even today believe strongly in deity based Paganism type religions, where magic is believed to have a potency superior to any form of religious miracle So in all truth, where have Hellenistic Cults really gone, but now under the guise of different names and fabricated ideologies.

Greece Climate & Weather
Greece Climate and Weather
The climate of Greece is Mediterranean, enjoying long hot dry summers and mild winters. Summer temperatures in Greece are tempered by the Etesian northerly wind, which blows across the Aegean Sea, and breezes called 'meltemia', but the mercury on the mainland regularly hits the high spots. Winters are mild and the wettest season but rainfall is generally low in most of Greece so this is not a big hinderance to travellers. In the mountainous regions, however, rainfall is heavier, snow is likely and temperatures can get severe.
The peak holiday season in Greece is summer, between June and August, when the heat and sunshine attracts millions for beach holidays. June and September are also lovely, hot times to visit and slightly less crowded. Autumn is generally a pleasant time to visit Greece as it is less hot and the weather is mild. The winter months, between December and February, are the coldest and the most variable weather-wise making them the least popular months to visit. However, for those visiting to explore Greece's cultural and historical attractions the country can be seen as a year-round destination.

Character actor Kumar Pallana dead in US at 94
OAKLAND, California (AP) — Kumar Pallana, an Indian character actor with bit parts in movies such as "The Terminal" and "The Royal Tennenbaums," has died. He was 94.
His son, Dipak Pallana, told the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/1aqndO1) that Kumar Pallana collapsed Oct. 10 at the Oakland, California, home they shared while getting ready to play bridge with friends.
The Times reported that Kumar Pallana was a yoga instructor in Dallas when in the mid-1990s he met Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson, who were working on their breakout movie "Bottle Rocket." They cast Pallana as a bumbling safe cracker.
His thick accent and diminutive stature would go on to help him steal scenes and earn parts in more films, including three more directed by Anderson and one by Steven Spielberg.

Greetings, Stipple, and welcome.<<I've been thinking about these retirement "benefits" for some time, thought I'd throw out a few comments:1. It's interesting how the gov't likes us to think of these things as benefits. Wouldn't it be nice if they just slashed the income tax rates significantly, eliminated cap gains, and just let people invest on their own without all the strings attached? Dream world, I know.2. Sure, with a 401K, you get tax-free investments and usually employer matching, but it seems to me that this could all be wiped out if the tax rates are high when you retire. 401Ks and IRAs are sort of a captive pool of money (i.e. easily controlled), and politicians may have a hard time keeping their hands off as these assets continue to swell. I can certainly see a day when people who have significant 401K or IRA assets will be "means tested" right out of SS benefits (in other words, they paid 50 years of fica taxes for nothing). And, I can see a day when people who've Foolishly saved lots of money will see their 401K/IRA retirement monies taxed to "save" social security (again).3. 401Ks make it a real pain to keep your asset allocations straight if you also invest individually. Usually, the selection of funds is also limited and includes mostly underperformers. In sum, I'm not saying that people shouldn't contribute to these plans, but I wish they weren't seen as a "good deal." They're probably a better deal than the same tax code without them, but they certainly aren't ideal, and it's not really a "gift" that politicians let us keep the earnings from our savings. I personally contribute only to the matching limit, and no more. I invest the rest individually.>>Good thoughts with some valid points.I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The Congress giveth and the Congress taketh away. And when they take, they may or may not be fair. It all depends on the mood of the country and the issue of the day. All any of us can do is take the hand that's dealt and play it out as best we can. We may win and we may lose, but one thing's for sure -- We can't quit the game. And my mama never promised me a rose garden, so I'm just gonna keep weeding the tulip patch as best I can.Regards.....Pixy

Paul McCartney working on pre-rock covers album
Paul McCartney working on pre-rock covers album
Sir Paul McCartney is making a record of his "dad's style of music."
The 68-year-old former Beatles musician is recording a number of covers of tracks from the pre-rock era which remind him of his father's music taste.
He told RollingStone magazine: "It's my dad's style of music. It's get-home-from-work music. You put it on and get a glass of wine."
The 'Live and Let Die' musician will record the album with an orchestra and will also feature jazz singer Diana Krall and her band on a number of tracks.
He also said he has wanted to make an album of covers in this style for a long time, but he felt it would be too close to Rod Stewart's 'American Songbook' collection.
He added: "I've wanted to do that kind of thing forever, since the Beatle days. But then Rod went mad on it. I thought, 'I have to wait so it doesn't look like I'm trying to do a Rod.' "
Although Paul won't disclose the tracklisting, he hopes the record will be out by early next year.
He added: "They're just songs I admire. I'm trying to steer away from the obvious ones."
The guitarist is also busy writing material for a "heavier rock" album and joked that after having a conversation with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl he might even copy what they did for their latest record and record in his garage.
He said: "It sounds quite wacky, but it keeps it fresh. I love that - you get a crazy idea and go with it. You never know - I may run into a garage to make this other album."

A nasty confrontation symbolic of the troubled relations between Canadian whites and Indians has been simmering for months in the eastern Canadian province of Quebec.
The dispute, which has become something of an embarrassment to Quebec Premier Rene Levesque, concerns fishing rights on one of this country's most famous salmon streams -- the Restigouche River.
Tensions along the Restigouche, which forms part of the boundary between Quebec and New Brunswick in an area north of Maine, have run high ever since Quebec authorities confiscated Indian fishing nets in a raid in early June.
Under Canada's federal system, inland fishereis jurisdiction is held by provincial governments, in this case the Province of Quebec. But the 1,600 Micmac Indians of the Restigouche reserve, citing "ancestral rights" to waters traditionally fished by Indians, refused to recognize Quebec's authority over the salmon fishery.
Each year when the salmon come to the Restigouche from the sea to spawn during the summer months, the 150 or so Micmac fishermen set their nets six nights a week, earning about $1,800 apiece for the season.
But this year, in a purpoted conservation measure, the Quebec government acted on June 11, when Quebec provincial police in full riot gear invaded the Micmac reserve. At the same time dozens of provincial game wardens on 35 boats sped across the river from the New Brunswick shore to seize nets from the water and beach.
After a house-to-house search of the village, the police took away about 100 nets, valued at $30,000.During the raid, the police arrested nine Micmacs and roughed up enough Indians to keep cries of police brutality echoing across Canada for weeks.
The complaints reached a peak in mid-July when officials of the National Indian Brotherhood said their preliminary investigation of the incident revealed numerous instances of police misconduct in the raid.
For example, a Restigouche resident, fisherman Randy Morrison, was reported to have testified: "I was trying to get out of the way of a group of policemen. A group of them grabbed, handcuffed, and then beat me with their sticks."
The June 11 raid was followed by another nine days later, whenthe police sealed off the village and fired rubber bullets and tear gas at approaching residents while an armored police boat seized nets from the river.
Elsewhere in the province, police and game wardens raided Indian fishing in rivers owned by wealthy Americans.
The aftermath of the raids has been a spiral of increasing violence in the region. Several hundred whites marched into an Indian reserve on the St. Lawrence River and tore up a native-owned salmon net. Then last month, two Indians were injured by shotgun blasts allegedly fired by provincial police following a car-smashing incident at a bar on the Quebec-New Brunswick border.
Mr. Levesque's reputation has been tarnished by the incidents, particularly by a remark by one of his ministers, who condescendingly characterized Indians as people who make "good guides."
Such remark have done nothing to dispel a widespreed belief that a deep srain of racism toward Indian existed among Quebeckers and other eastern Canadian whites. Among Quebec's 35,000 Indians, there is a fear that the underlying purpose of police raids in Restigouche was to establish Quebec control fo the salmon fishery in case Mr. Levesque's pro-independence party ever attains its goal of establishing Quebec as an independent nation.
Increasing oil exploration in the Canadian north has added urgency to native land claims, and Indians feel their rights may become less secured under the new constitution Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau hopes to install soon.
More and more Indians in Canada would agree with Joe Stacey, president of the Confederation of Indians of Quebec, when he says:
"We are not Canadians. We are Indians, North American Indians who have every moral right to our freedom in a free Indian homeland."

Does anyone else own or performed any routine maintenance on an Aquabot. A three year old Aquabot was left with my pool when I bought the house two years ago. I replaced the drive belts last year. This year I am planning to replace the brushes and drive tracks, and order a spare set of belts.
My big question is... Is it necessary to replace the 4 bushings and 2 stepped rollers? I have nothing to compare to so it is difficult for me to decide if they are worn out. If it is recommended after 5 years of use then obviously I will do it. Otherwise, should I save the extra $50?

A forum only concerned with economics.
Hey friends,
I own a house near Toogood Pond Park in Markham. I have taken a mortgage on my home. The mortgage term is up and it's now open for renewal. Every mortgage renewal is a chance to assess the current mortgage and compare it to any new financial goals. I'm a firm believer in fixed-rate mortgages. I have tried it for many years over variable rates and found extremely well.
The current lender has to send a mortgage renewal statement at least three weeks before the renewal period. I'm not interested to continue with the current lender as they cannot provide me with the best available mortgage rate. Switching the lenders would be a tough task and it may require little more paperwork. Will there be any difference in qualification criteria required? My friends said that they may charge fees for making the switch, including an appraisal fee to verify the property's value. I think, a right mortgage professional or broker can guide us and negotiate on our behalf. It would save our time, effort and money. I have listed a few brokers offering the lowest mortgage renewal rates in Ontario from the internet. Can someone help me with this? Guys, share your suggestions and opinions regarding this. Thank you!
Does anybody out there have insight into Canadian stuff?
Do you mind if I open this question to the larger crowd and promote this discussion?
Short term or fixed balloon mortgage loans for houses that can be re-negotiated periodically (renewals) seem vanishingly rare in the USA. Rates on 15 year notes in the USA are in the high 3% range for now.

For Alastair Cook there can have been few better times to revisit the scene of his debut, Nagpur, where in the midst of an England opening crisis, the then 21-year-old was parachuted in from a Lions tour in the Caribbean to promptly make 60 and 104 not out.
Six-and-a-half years and 86 Test matches later and Cook returns to Nagpur with the chance to become the first England captain in 27 years to leave India with a series victory and on a run of three consecutive centuries which has made him the top ranked opener in the world and with a chance of becoming the first English batsman in nine years to top the rankings overall.
A casual observer might assume that things have been plain sailing in the intervening years for the Essex left-hander, but for the youngest man to 7,000 Test runs it hasn't all been plain sailing.
It seems aeons ago that his place in the team was under considerable threat ahead of the third Test against Pakistan in 2010, when a scratchy century at the Oval afforded Cook a reprise.
His international form has been relentless since. In his 28 Tests since, the former Bedford School man has made 2,865 runs at 66.62, compared to a career average of 50.02, and compiled almost half (11 of 23) of his record number of centuries for England.
Perhaps as surprising for those who watched Cook carefully compile his first century at a strike-rate of 42 per 100 balls back in 2006 has been his recent taking to the ODI game.
After being controversially brought in as captain despite not being involved for the 2011 ICC World Cup campaign, Cook has proved his doubters wrong in the shorter format, becoming England's most consistent player and a genuinely destructive opener in the format.
At just 27, the former chorister has it all at his feet; records he has long threatened to challenge are starting to fall and regardless of whether England hold onto their series lead in India, achieving two Test wins in a country where his countrymen have a history of failure will remain a stunning achievement.
The absence of Andrew Strauss has barely been felt and Cook has benefitted from the successful return of Kevin Pietersen and from fellow Nagpur 2006 debutant Monty Panesar's reemergence.
He is facing the captaincy challenge head-on, and the sight of a batsman who has often been accused of heavy footwork dancing down the pitch and dispatching a pair of sixes down the ground in his third Test innings of 190 illustrated his dedication to continued improvement.
The road back to Nagpur has been long and sometimes turbulent, but Cook is returning to a richly deserved fanfare.
You can see Alastair Cook's debut bat on display in the MCC Museum - part of the famous Lord's Tour.

FRESNO, Calif. --US consumption of blueberries has more than doubled in just 16 years.
The Blueberry Council says Americans now buy more than 853-million pounds of blueberries -- a five percent increase in year-over-year production.
Industry officials say greater availability as well as being considered a "super-food" have contributed to the increase.

Three CSE researchers have won first place in the ISLPED 2010 Low Power Design Contest. The research team consists of first year graduate student Ye-Sheng Kuo, Postdoctoral Scholar Thomas Schmid, and Assistant Professor Prabal Dutta.
The team's submission, entitled "Hijacking Power and Bandwidth from the Mobile Phone's Audio Interface," was selected as the first place winner by a panel of five industry and academic experts from a field of 14 submissions. The project involves a technique for powering a new class of external peripherals by harvesting power from the headphone jacks found in smartphones.
The original prototype of hardware for the project included a separate energy harvester, microcontroller, and associated circuitry as shown in the image below. The team has since integrated the hardware into a single small PCB, shown following.
Original Prototype:
Revision B Energy Harvester/Controller:
The researchers will present their project on August 20 at the International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED) in Austin, Texas.
The ISPLED Low Power Design Contest provides a forum for universities and research organizations to showcase original power-aware designs and to highlight the innovations and design choices targeted at low power. The goal is to encourage and highlight design-oriented approaches to power reduction. The International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design is the premier forum for presentation of recent advances in all aspects of low power design and technologies, ranging from process and circuit technologies, simulation and synthesis tools, to system level design and optimization.

A Catholic church should appear to be taller than it is wide, which gives visitors the feeling that the space is reaching to heaven. The building should also have a sense of permanence and must not give the idea that it is makeshift or temporary.
The church must have enough iconography to let people know that it is a church and not a library, a residence or a store. This iconography can take the form of statues of Jesus, Mary or the saints and stained glass windows showing scenes from the Bible.
Many Catholic churches also have bell towers, or campaniles. They may have roofs in the form of domes or steeples topped by a cross, and the facade may contain a stained glass rose window. Within the church are pews, an altar, a font for holy water and maybe a baptismal font.

As a specific example consider taking a series of steps, and at each step picking a square in the array discussed above at random, then reversing the color of this square whenever doing so will not increase the total number of squares in the array that violate the constraints.
The picture below shows results obtained with this procedure. For the first few steps, there is rapid improvement. But as one goes on, one sees that the rate of improvement gets slower and slower. And even after a million steps, it turns out that 15% of the squares in a 10×10 array will on average still not satisfy the constraints.
In practical situations this kind of approximate result can sometimes be useful, but the pictures at the top of the facing page show that the actual patterns obtained do not look much at all like the exact results that we saw for this system in Chapter 5.

Twice beforehand to the Melbourne Cup 7am at Coffs Harbour marina. We have been loading our particular stuff on for your yacht smashsales.com.au/, it really is actually a great seeking accomplishing the job doing the job day and we are most likely to established off on the journey from the everyday living span 1100 nautical miles through the ditch to New Zealand.
The skipper has expended the last two months acquiring the boat (31ft Swanson) very well organized – new rigging, motor checked out, radios VHF and HF checked by gurus. We now have now plenty of shops on board for 2 months, need to have to actually only ponder every week if we receive the ideal conditions.
We are saying goodbye to relatives and friends and off we go. The prepare was to fulfill my husband or spouse Regine in NZ and get a glance with the Bay of Islands inside the yacht. We now have been about ten miles out which i get in touch with up the Coffs Harbour coastal patrol in regards on the HF radio. No treatment. Skipper states it might be Alright as soon as we get out to some extent we're going to speak to NZ. I was contemplating how we could transmit NZ 1000miles absent once we could not arrive at Coffs Harbour ten miles absent. Skipper assures me it will at some point in the long run full ensuing in the fact it actually is really a prolonged huge vary radio. In any scenario I however competent some uncertainties.
We experienced amazing 1st day's sailing fifteen knots Northerly, beam acquire, seven to 8 knots, isn't heading for getting any an awesome deal larger I considered.
Nicely, I used to be fantastic in excess of it not recovering. We just done evening foodstuff spherical the pretty first night time when Grant (skipper) who might have on no account at any time been seasick anytime, statements I will not come to really feel really properly good just before he operates into the rail and hurls his supper and fifty for every cent his stomach lining regarding the ingredient. That was the moment the moment i puzzled if he was truthful regarding the seasickness little little bit.
I signify this was the first night time and sicknesses had been becoming wonderful, precisely just what is probably going to happen inside of the purpose the probable can get tough. He self-assured me it couldn't ultimate prolonged and he could possibly be suitable by early morning.
We had been 100 miles out by then and we finished nearly only hook up with up yet one more yacht within the Coffs marina over the HF radio as pre arranged, that didn't go also completely the two of people. We could listen to them as fundamental as doing the task performing day but we weren't transmitting. I commenced to feel that this journey could possibly not be this sort of fantastic imagined.
The sail by means of the night was spectacular which i began emotion a little more self-assured close to the whole position. I assumed if it goes like this each and every on the procedure to NZ we'd be there in 6 periods. Grant seasoned a great evenings slumber amongst the outings for that rail. Just quickly soon after concerning the 10th holiday family vacation into your rail I begun to worry about him and defined: "Do you believe we must always generally flip all over?" He did not desire to return and stated we could stop at Lord Howe Island if he unsuccessful to generate improvements to.
Another working day commenced off the exact same, excellent breeze, really tranquil illnesses until ultimately the afternoon as soon as the breeze commenced creating even now coming within the north.At about that point the automobile helm shit by itself. Just ahead of which i was self-assured of sailing the boat on my own if expected and dozing inside of of your cockpit from time to time as Grant having explained that laid up in his bunk.
The breeze saved developing to about 35knts which built it rather unpleasant the swells are coming straight off the beam and breaking previously mentioned the boat. I notify Grant we have to reef the principal as we now have been considerably additional than operate. He is so jail he cant get outside of his bunk. I can not reef by myself as I am able to not sustain head to wind thinking about the point the motor vehicle helm carked it. So I furl all by way of the jib and retain the key sheet in my hand and sail it like a dinghy.

This seems to be a summer of repeating patterns for me. I get a draft turned in. A week later, notes come back. I spend the next two weeks working on them - implementing the changes and then getting the draft to my producer so that she can look everything over. Then, just before I head out of town for the weekend - usually (this summer) to go back to Arlington, VA - I send the revised version of the script to the production company we're working with. This past week was no exception.
In mid-July, we went back to the production company we're working with (in a hand shake development deal) with what we were hoping would be the final draft of the script I've been working on since January 2008. Of course, that 2008 date doesn't represent unbroken work. I worked on it on and off since then, with the real big push beginning again in June of 2009, when an independent producer and family friend optioned it. In October, we made the above deal with a production company in LA headed up by an incredibly well-respected, multi-time Oscar nominated producer-hyphenate. Since then, I've been doing pretty consistent and intense re-writes.
After this last draft went to the prod co, two other people in the creative department there read the script to make sure it held together for first time readers. For the most part, it did. They just had a couple questions - independent of each other - that because we received from two readers, we wanted to address before going to anyone else (i.e. people who have the authority to greenlight a project). So, last week was my time to put the final fixes (hopefully) into the script - remember, micro-surgery? - before moving forward. And, true to the trend, I wound up going out of town the following day for the weekend, which helped to get the script off my mind. In fact, I think I would encourage writers to take a weekend trip after submitting a script for a producer or agent's weekend read pile.
At this point, we're waiting to see what effect the revisions have had. Ideally, they'll seem to work as effectively as we think they do. In submitting, I've gotten to the point where it's best that I submit two drafts - one clean, and one with revision tracking so that the production exec can find them quickly and better track them. I know that a lot of screenwriting teachers also instruct writers to never put dates on their drafts (so that agents/producers don't suspect they're getting a draft their peers passed on). Again, my drafts are going out dated, so that the producer and production exec I'm working with know immediately which is the most recent draft. When we go out from here, though, we might remove the date. Maybe not. Who knows?
Either way, it's a good time to resume lining up my ducks for next projects, as well as getting more info on the mechanics of a sale. The more I can go into this stage knowing, the better off I think I'll be.

Tributes flood in for O'Donnell
The death of Motherwell captain Phil O'Donnell has left British football in a state of shock.
O'Donnell died shortly after suffering a suspected seizure during a league match against Dundee United.
Tributes poured in as Scottish football remembered a player described by former Scotland boss Craig Brown as 'a perfect gentleman' and 'an ideal role model'.
O'Donnell, who was 35, was taken off the pitch at Fir Park on a stretcher in the closing stages of the Premier League match.
He was about to be substituted in a match Motherwell won 5-3, but fell to the pitch as the change was taking place.
After being treated for around five minutes on the field, the former Celtic and Sheffield Wednesday midfielder was carried off on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance and taken to Wishaw General hospital.
He died at 5.18pm, the club announced.
O'Donnell's nephew, striker David Clarkson, was also playing in today's match, and was substituted after being alarmed by the incident.
Motherwell manager Mark McGhee said: 'I don't want to say anything more than how devastated everyone at the club is for his wife and his young children.
'That's what we are all feeling tonight, nothing else matters.
'Obviously from the club's point of view we'll gather round to give his family as much support as they need.'
Motherwell owner John Boyle said: 'This is an unspeakable tragedy for Phil's family.
'Everyone at Motherwell is shocked to the core and we are sure that everyone involved in Scottish football will feel the same. Phil was not only an inspirational player for Motherwell and club captain, but was an inspirational person.
'All of us at Motherwell are thinking of his wife Eileen and their four children.'
O'Donnell began his career with Motherwell and rejoined the club in 2004 following spells with Celtic, who he joined in a £1.75million deal in 1994, and Sheffield Wednesday.
He was a hugely popular figure at the club, and chairman Bill Dickie, announcing O'Donnell's death, added: 'This is a tragic happening.'
Motherwell striker Chris Porter paid an emotional tribute to his team-mate.
Porter had only known O'Donnell since joining from Oldham in the summer.
'It's a massive loss to Motherwell, he was just a great player and a great person. Everyone will miss him,' Porter told Sky Sports News.
Porter described the scenes towards the end of the game when he thought his captain had just fainted.
'I've never experienced anything like it,' he said. 'It's a massive shock and a massive loss to Motherwell.
'He went down and no-one really knew what had happened. Doctors and physios ran on, he was unconscious on the floor and it was clear he was in a bad way, but personally I never thought anything would happen.
'I'm just really shocked about it all. Everyone thought he would be okay and he had just fainted so it was a real shock to find out he had passed away.'
O'Donnell made his Motherwell debut as a 17-year-old and went on to score, as a 19-year-old, in the 4-3 victory over Dundee United in the 1991 Scottish Cup final.
His one Scotland cap came against Switzerland, with injuries affecting his spells with Celtic and Wednesday.
He returned to Motherwell after being released by Wednesday in 2003, and made his second debut for the club in January 2004.
He played for `Well in the 2005 Scottish League Cup final and was appointed captain in 2006, after former skipper Scott Leitch left the club.
Former Scotland manager Brown knew O'Donnell well, having handed him his senior cap and also coached him during his time as Scotland Under-21 boss.
Brown said: 'But for injury, I'm sure he would have had many, many more caps. It's very, very sad news, I just can't get over it.
Brown described O'Donnell as 'a perfect gentleman'.
He added: 'You would not get a more ideal role model for a young footballer than Phil O'Donnell. I think in his first spell at Motherwell he was probably the best box-to-box midfield player - maybe not just in Scotland but in the UK.
'He was a Steven Gerrard-type of player, and he went to Celtic and that was no surprise. He was a Celtic fan as well as a Motherwell fan.'
Brown urged the whole of Scottish football to pay a tribute to O'Donnell with a minute's applause at every ground in the next round of games.
The Scottish Premier League have postponed Motherwell's match against Hibernian next Wednesday, January 2, but the remaining five games, including Celtic's home match against Rangers, are expected to go ahead.
Gordon Smith, chief executive of the Scottish Football Association, said: 'This is absolutely devastating news.
'Phil was not just a wonderful footballer, he was a great human being. My thoughts are with his family at this tragic time.'
O'Donnell's former Motherwell team-mate John Philliben paid tribute.
The pair were together at Fir Park in the early 1990s.
'Phil was a really nice guy who came into Motherwell when a youngster and worked really hard,' said Philliben. 'I watched him make his debut against St Mirren and play in the cup final for Motherwell before his move to Celtic.
'It will be a sad loss for his family and the club and I'm still in shock trying to take it all in.'
Motherwell have had to deal with tragedy in the past.
Legendary winger Davie Cooper died at the age of 39 in 1995 after suffering a brain haemorrhage when filming a training video for young players.
Cooper had moved on to Clydebank from Motherwell shortly before his death, and had been a Motherwell team-mate of O'Donnell for several years.
In 1998, Motherwell reserve player Andy Thomson died of a heart problem at his own 19th birthday party.
Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell expressed the club's sadness at the death of O'Donnell, their former player.
He said: 'Obviously our thoughts are with his family to whom we offer extreme condolences for a tragic loss of a young life.
'Everyone at Celtic Park will mourn him.'
Motherwell chief executive Ian Stillie asked all media to respect the O'Donnell family's privacy, and added: 'We would also like to thank the ambulance crew, the doctors and the nurses at Wishaw General.'

Economist Dean Baker addresses the absurd attacks on teachers and public safety workers for their well-deserved pensions. And as usual Baker is right on target, saying that the problem apparently is that the teachers and firefighters actually have a pension they can live on in retirement.
This is an outrage in modern America. After all, the Wall Street boys have made it so the vast majority of private sector workers can't get by in their old age, and they plan to cut Social Security and Medicare to make it even harder. So given that factory workers and retail clerks can't count on a decent standard of living in retirement, where does a school teacher get off earning a pension of $3,000 a month? The media want the public to be outraged over this incredible injustice. Of course, the men and women behind the curtain are saying: "pay no attention to the Wall Street people earning millions of dollars a year."

text: Ok so I just took my iphone 5S today. Rushed out to buy this model because I thought iOS 7 is optimized for A7 chip already. However, when I tried to use the phone the sluggish animations still appeared and there are even some glitches when using the multitasking tray. To be honest I felt like I am using an Android phone instead of the golden standard iPhone. One of the bug I can reproduce in every iPhone model is the double status bar: when u are in an app, double click to enter the multitasking tray and then swipe up immediately to close the app, another status bar appears. However, amazing things are the Touch ID app when I could assign my finger as a passcode to unlock my phone, iTunes Radio and Siri. They worked very well especially Siri when she recognized exactly my accent, which did not happen in iOS 6. So I guess 7.0 is just an early stage of the new iOS, and it needs more works to be more polished? What are your thoughts?

Review: "XCOM: Enemy Unknown"
XCOM: Enemy Unknow n is an engaging turn-based strategy game, though a bit repetitive and not without a few frustrations. In a console-gaming landscape littered with mediocre shooters of various stripes, the title is an intriguing departure, even though its methods are not new. Enemy Unknown is merely the latest in a long series of XCOM games, though the series that hasn't had an update since 2001, and h as never before been available for consoles.

Mother's Day is a time for honoring and thanking our mothers for giving us life, raising us and being a source of emotional support and love. It is the one-day children and husbands' set-aside time to celebrate the women who make such a difference in their lives. Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 13. It's a lovely reason to throw an elegant brunch. The bright spring weather and the idea of honoring Mom lead us to think of fresh, unique ideas to add to the menu. Let's be honest: Moms are always worth the splurge. Given all their hard work that goes unnoticed, it's a good thing we have Mother's Day to remind us to appreciate the moms in our lives.
Here's an elegant egg dish compliments of Floyd Cardoz, executive chef-partner of North End Grill in New York City. It features a variety of locally available ingredients including just a touch of hot spice especially for my Southern Californian readers. Not only is it yummy, its presentation is gorgeous, and the ingredients can be found at a local farmers market or supermarket. Coddled Egg with Crab, Bacon and Leeks (Click here for recipe).
The perfect pairing is Schramsberg 2008 Brut Rosé ($34.85). For the price, this 2008 Brut Rosé gets my vote as a tasteful l gift for Mom's Day. Expect layers of ripe strawberries, sweet orange peel, yeasty bread and rose petals on the nose. Mom is going to love the delicate texture, and tiny, sparkling bubbles that dance lightly across the tongue. On the palate ripe red berries including red currant, strawberry and cranberry delight the senses. I noted some citrus at the back of the palate leading the way to a fresh lingering finish. Though its complexity makes it a stunning wine on its own, it is also made in a food-friendly style. Serve it at cocktail hour with simple appetizers like assorted olives, salted almonds or mushroom turnovers. It will also work well with fish and white meats including pork loin with berry sauce or grilled white fish. Like many Brut Rosés, it also makes a lovely choice to finish a meal with a plate of soft, aged cheeses and ripe, red fruits.
Think about serving the Brut Rosé in these timeless handblown Champagne Coupes.

Corky, I dont mean to disagree, Ad-aware is a decent program and worth the "plug" but...
Ad-aware I used to swear by..Spybot didnt impress me in the least bit..
But MS's Antispy Impress's me entirely! Works much better than both Ad-ware and spybot together, the "Real-time" protection is an awesome and actually needed feature..
Im not saying anything is wrong with Ad-aware, but if you own your copy of XP, MS's Antispy is free and personally I think it is better...
Go get it and see!..LoL http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
on Jun 06, 2005
You are free to disagree, I take no offense.
I have tried MS Anti-Spyware, and thought it was alright, but I did not want the extra process running. I also found that it missed a few items that Ad-Aware picked up during a scan which was run after one week of running just MS Anti-Spyware (though they are continually updating their information, and may have fixed this issue).
I use Internet Explorer and Norton Internet Security Pro exclusively for browsing and protection, so the weekly "Malware, Spyware, Adware" scan has served me very well - never had an infection on this computer (4 years old now).
Thanks for the input, and I am sure anyone dropping by will benefit from one of these programs.

No arguments there.
Also, Ive found that JavaCools
Spyware Blaster
, in conjunction with Spybots Immunize feature, is both effective and worthy. (I dont remember Spybots Immunize feature being spoken of here before, so I thought I'd throw that in.)
Thanks for the heads up Corky.

I Use Firefox and Nortons internet security suite '05..I also have a couple other antispy programs running aside from MS's so that could just be doing the trick...
At anyrate.. people need to use something..anything!..LoL..the amount of "Web-pests" out there is simply incredible...
Oh yeah, I meant to say *thanks* as well for the update Corky...
Even though I use it rarily now, I do still use it on occassion to see if MS is still doing it's job..LoL

I use Adaware pro, Zone Alarm Pro, AVG7 pro, and Spybot for several years, and to this day have yet to get a bug. In fact AVG stops bugs before you get them. I use to use Norton, but it lets you get bugs and then tries to deal with them. Spybot has just upgraded and has more features. The teatime feature on it is excellent. I also have MS antispyware, but it still has some bugs and when it pops up with an alert about something changing there is usually not adequate info. They need to work on it some. Since I have never gotten a bug while using the other progs, I have stopped using the MS prog till they get the kinks worked out. I may not use it then either. I feel there is room for all the above mentioned progs. As they say. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
on Jun 07, 2005
Thanks Corky. Don't run Ad-Aware that often, use MS AntiSpyware and purchased Pest Patrol. But is good to update for when I run it next.
on Jun 07, 2005
I've been running Spybot, Adaware, and SpywareBlaster ever since I've had my pc (2 years) and I have never had any problems. The nice thing about them is that they only run when I want them to. I tried the MS AntiSpyware app when it came out and didn't like it at all, just seemed to buggy...didn't like it running in the background...noticed a lag in my pc.
on Jun 07, 2005
I have been using AdAware, Spybot, and Spyware Blaster for years, and thought all was well. They picked up all the nasty stuff and got rid of it. When MS Anti-spyware came out, I tried it. I first did scans with the other 3 apps, and supposedly everything was clean. Then MS picked up a couple of nasties the others missed! So, now, I am using it along with just AdAware and Spybot. I ditched Spyware Blaster because the latest version was buggy and kept freezing up my computer.

What's the secret to using MS Anti-spyware? I've installed it something like three times at Windows Update, and see nothing in my Start menu. But when I go back to WU, it doesn't prompt me to install it again, so it must be somewhere.

What's the secret to using MS Anti-spyware? I've installed it something like three times at Windows Update, and see nothing in my Start menu.
There are two of them!
One is a commandline-only version which is the one that is updated via Windows Update.
The other is a beta, which Microsoft got when they purchased a company called Giant (see: http://www.giantcompany.com/default.htm). It's available here: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
This second one is a lot more like your conventional spyware apps.
on Jun 08, 2005
Thanks for the link, Corky, I'll install that straight away.
Like many others, I'm sure, I use Adaware and Spybot (with teatime) in conjunction with the MS Antispy, and the only real problem I had was a bug riddled browser hijacker some weeks ago. That was covertly installed with a theme I downloaded and not detected by any of these programs until it was unzipped, so even with all this protection it pays to be careful just the same.
In any event, all these progs are goood and good to have - be bug free everone

Miranda Lawson
|Miranda Lawson
|Cerberus Operative
|Voice Actor
|Yvonne Strahovski
Miranda Lawson is a genetically engineered Cerberus Operative. She is well connected throughout the galaxy, having a number of different contacts, through both Citadel space and the Terminus systems and beyond. Miranda's array of contacts can be explained through her connections within the Cerberus network. Her list of contacts extends even throughout the Alliance military.
[edit] Background
Miranda's previous mission involved a Batarian plot to assassinate a Batarian politician Ambassador Jath'Amon. She makes contact with Jacob Taylor after a referral from his previous Alliance commanding officer, Derek Izunami. Derek asks Jacob to meet with Miranda on the Carrtagena Station, in the Nemean Abyss. Specifically, Jacob is sent to meet her in a bar called "The Fringe". Upon Jacob's arrival, he is attacked by a group of pirates led by Clint "Black Eye" Darragh. Miranda watches from a distance as Jacob deals with the pirates. When she reveals herself to Jacob, she quips that she expected someone taller.
Miranda explains that her and Jacob are to expose a Batarian plot to assassinate a Citadel politician, Batarian Ambassador Jath'Amon. The assassination is to take place during peace talks between the Batarian government and the Citadel Council. Miranda gives Jacob a list of three sources which may have be related to the Batarian plot. The first, Illo Nazario, a Turian arms dealer on the planet Tortuga. The second, an Orbital Platform, the Ahn'Kedar, where the Batarians have reportedly kidnapped several leading scientists. The final source, the planet Bekke, where an army of Batarian extremists is supposedly gathering.
Miranda introduces her contact Ish to Jacob on Tortuga. Ish provides Jacob with the codes for Illo's compound. Jacob and Miranda find Illo, after he has been exposed to a deadly bio-weapon. They agree to find a cure for Illo in exchange for the information he has on the Batarains. On Ahn'Kedar, Jacob rescues the captive scientists and learns a large quantity of element zero is required to create a cure.
When the duo investigate the planet Bekke, their ship comes under heavy fire. Miranda reports that there are strange readings emitting from the surface. Jacob fights his way through the base, discovering a large supply of element zero. Miranda collects both Jacob and the element zero. Back onboard the ship, Miranda and Jacob interrogate Illo, promising him the cure in exchange for his knowledge. He reveals that Ambassador Jath'Amon is actually the leader of the Batarian extremists. Jath'Amon plans to release the bio-weapon on the Citadel Council. The two then travel to the Citadel where they find that the Batarians have infiltrated C-Sec. Jacob is able attack the Batarians and subdue Jath'Amon. Thanks to Miranda and Jacob, the Citadel Council were saved. Following the Batarian plot, Miranda accompanies Jacob to the Arcturian Jade with a bottle of celebratory champagne.
[edit] Dossier
Following the destruction of the Normandy and the recovery of Commander Shepard's corpse, the Illusive Man places Miranda in command of the Lazarus Cell and makes her the lead of the Lazarus Project. Miranda stays in this position for the next two years, overseeing the work on restoring Shepard. When Shepard awakens prematurely, he first sees Miranda gazing upon him, before being given more sedatives. When the research station is attacked, Miranda wakens Shepard over the intercom, giving him the location of his armor and tells him to head for the shuttle. Shepard, Miranda and Jacob then leave the station. Before boarding the shuttle, Miranda kills Wilson, a Cerberus Scientist turned traitor. Miranda then takes Shepard to meet with the Illusive Man.
Miranda, along with Jacob join Shepard's squad during the mission to Freedom's Progress. She serve's as Shepard's second-in-commander during their time aboard the Normandy. She also serves as the Illusive Man's agent, providing him with information on their current progress. EDI tells Shepard that Miranda has moved the entire Lazarus Cell aboard the Normandy.
Miranda is initially skeptical of the Illusive Mans faith in Shepard. She reveals that she wanted to implant a control chip into Shepard in the event that he takes actions against Cerberus. The Illusive Man refused to allow Miranda to tamper with Shepard at any cost. Eventually she tells Shepard that the Illusive Man's faith was not misplaced.
Shepard can learn through conversation that Miranda was genetically engineered. She reveals that she never had a mother, only a father who manipulated his genes to to create the perfect human specimen. All of Miranda's qualities, from her intelligence, biotics and appearance have been genetically created for excellence. Miranda heals at a faster rate than all other humans and has a longer lifespan.
Despite her genetic manipulation, Miranda lived a life far from perfect. In spite of her abilities, Miranda's father never showed any sign of pride or appreciation for his daughter. No matter how hard she tried, her father always expected more. Her father's dictatorship forbade her from having friends or forming a social life. Miranda claims that her father never wanted a daughter, only a dynasty. She claims this is the reason why only her father's genes were used in her creation. The neglect Miranda suffered forced her to abandon her life and depart from her father. She was constantly being hunted by her father's contacts, but was always able to avoid detection.
Eventually Miranda sought out Cerberus, joining them for protection from her father. She knew that her father was a sympathizer of pro-human development. He was a major investor in projects to further develop the human species. Miranda knew that her father would never cross an organization with as much power as Cerberus. Despite her own upbringing, she agrees with Cerberus' aim to advance humanity. Miranda reveals that she revels in the opportunity to mingle with people of her own intellect. She also enjoys with the leverage she is given in her work; she is given an objective, the resources required and allowed to work at her leisure. Miranda is one of the few humans considered advanced enough by the Illusive Man to gain audience with him. He appreciates her abilities and allows her to report directly to him.
Although genetically engineered, Miranda is still maintains some of the insecurities that forced her from her home. Despite her success and emirate career, Miranda feels that due to her genetic modifications, she hasn't truly earned her accomplishments. She believes herself to be living under her fathers shadow, and that her failures are the only thing which she can claim to be truly hers. She admits that she is jealous of Shepard, claiming that Shepard was great before he was rebuilt, and that she is only great because of it.
During the suicide mission, Miranda is an excellent choice for the role of Squad Leader, given her history with Cerberus. If Miranda is present during the fight with the Human-Reaper, and if Shepard opts for destroying the Collector Base, the Illusive Man will order her to stop Shepard. Instead, she will refuse and claim that she is resigning from Cerberus. She will then disconnect the Illusive Man.
[edit] Romance
After gaining Miranda's Loyalty, it is possible for Shepard to romance her. She says that she wants to "admire Shepard's body". Shepard can return these feelings, starting a relationship between the two. Miranda doesn't want to rush ahead, but claims to be intrigued. During the confrontation between Miranda and Jack, Shepard must either side with Miranda or convince both to work together with a high enough Paragon/Renegade score. If the relationship continues, Miranda will pass Shepard leaving an elevator and tell him to meet her in the engine room in five minutes. This will result in the romance scene occurring.

8 week Mindfulness Course at La Verrière in Cannes
If you have wanted to learn to meditate but don't know where to start, then here is your chance. We work in a supportive group with clear live guidance and recorded meditations at home.
This is the best environment to keep you on track until mindfulness has become second nature and simply a way of life. Enjoy the calm and sense of freedom that comes from being in the moment. Give yourself this valuable gift and become the master of anxiety, low mood and distraction.
As one participant said "I thought, if not now, then when?! "
Do join us in October and November 2017 for your big step into Mindfulness !
Lessons, Tuesdays 13h to 15h
Free introductory session in September everyone welcome!
Course dates to be announced:
We will finish with a full day Saturday workshop from 11h to 17h
The first lesson can also be taken as a free trial run so don't hesitate to come along and give it a try .
In the 8 week course we will meet once a week for two hours to practice mindfulness techniques, study the workings of the mind and share our experiences. We will be sitting, walking, lying down and moving gently.
To achieve positive results students commit to one lesson per week and 45 to 60 minutes of home practice 6 days per week. In this way old destructive habits of reacting to stress can be replaced by new ways of responding with intelligence and we will find that we are better equipped to deal with tension, fear or pain. With mindfulness we can also be more present during our pleasant and joyful moments and thus able to enjoy the good times to the full.
Participants will receive recordings covering six different meditation routines to facilitate their continued practice at home. After the end of the course Alison will be available for coaching by phone or Skype for those who would like to develop even more Mindfulness in their lives. Those who have studied the 8 week course are welcome to participate in any future courses for a 10 euro contribution per lesson, we love to have you back! (as long as space allows.)
€425 8 week Mindfulness Course Payable In Advance.
€350 Earlybird price before Sept 30th includes:
- 7 lessons
- 1 full day session
- Recorded meditations and all course notes provided.
Our mindfulness courses and workshops are designed for practitioners at all levels, and range from an hour-long Skype lesson to an eight-week course.

Empty Homes
An empty home costs its owner thousands of pounds in maintenance, utilities charges, lost rent, council tax bills and reduced value if it is in an area where prices are falling.
The Private Sector Housing Policy Framework sets out the Council's broad approach to its support for and work with private sector housing which includes empty homes. See Related documents below.
Boston Borough Council are working with a company called Capacity Grid to review some homes that are registered as empty. If you have received a letter providing you with a Passcode and property reference this will allow you to update the records for the property using the link below.
Capacity Grid Empty Homes Review link
What if you leave it empty?
You must keep your property and the land around it in a good condition. Make it look occupied to deter criminals and anti-social behaviour. We can advise you about selling, renting and refurbishing the property, but if the property becomes an eyesore or a nuisance to neighbours we may take legal action to make you put it right. More details on the action we may take are below.
If you have received a letter from Boston Borough Council regarding an empty property, you can complete the questionnaire online here: Empty Homes Questionnaire
What options do you have to bring a property back into use?
Boston Borough Council Empty Home Loan
Boston Borough Council may be able to offer an Empty Home loan to assist owners to return their property back into use, with a loan of up to £6000, subject to assessment. For details contact the Housing Strategy team.
What if it needs a lot of work?
You may need to refurbish or repair the property before you can sell it or rent it out. Getting the work done as soon as possible means that you can start to recover the costs from the sale proceeds or rental income.
There's a reduced VAT rate for the cost of renovating an empty property that's been empty for two years or more. You can pay just 5% instead of 20%. See the HMRC website.
If you can't afford the work, or it's difficult to organise (for example, because you don't live locally), think about selling to a builder or developer at a lower price.
Sell it
You can sell through an estate agent, at an auction, or by advertising the property yourself. You should get your property valued by a professional property surveyor or estate agent and then set an asking price, but decide how flexible you will be as potential buyers may try to negotiate the price.
Rent it out
If your home meets current standards and regulations, it may be ready to move into straight away so you can rent it out. You could do that yourself or use a letting agency. Renting through an agency can take out some of the hassle and responsibility, although you have to pay for the service. For more information on your responsibilities as a landlord, see Advice for Landlords page in Related articles.
How we tackle problem empty homes
A homeowner must keep their property and land around it up to a minimum standard. If they don't, we may send them a legal notice that instructs them to put things right.
Enforced Sale - If they don't act, we may do the work ourselves and give them the bill. If they refuse to pay, we can put a charge on the property. The owner would find it hard to sell the home because a buyer would become responsible for that charge. If they still don't take responsibility we may force the sale of the property at a public auction and deduct all our costs and charges from the sale price.
This can also apply should the owner of a problem empty property have a large unpaid council tax bill - we can ask a court to give us permission to sell the property. We can recover all the council tax, and our own costs from the sale price.
Empty Dwelling Management Order - If the property has been empty for two years or more we may take over the management and rent it out for up to seven years. The owner only gets income from the rent after we recover our costs and the regular cost of managing the property.
Compulsory Purchase - Sometimes a property is causing such severe problems that it is 'blighting' an area. We may buy it from the owner even if they don't want to sell. We will either demolish it or to sell it on to a not-for-profit landlord to bring it back to use.
More information is available in the Private Sector Housing Policy Framework in Related documents.
Report a problem empty home
Empty homes bring down an area and threaten the health of the local community. If a privately-owned home is causing problems like this, report it to us now:
