"What two businesses have traditionally been recession-proof since time immemorial?" Tony Soprano once asked, to which lieutenant Silvio Dante deadpanned, "Certain aspects of show business and our thing." With this limited-edition 33-disc doorstop, priced at a hefty $399 and arriving just 17 months after David Chase's lionized gangster saga quick-cut to black, HBO is surely hoping that "Sopranos" merchandising is another of those evergreen commercial ventures.
The discs — along with an episode guide, reprints of press plaudits and cast info — are sleeved inside a chunky, wedding album-like binder. That, in turn, is encased in a flannel sleeve that fits snugly inside an auster black linen box. Just opening the package feels like the enacting of a dark sacramental ritual — sumptuous and vaguely transgressive.
With "The Sopranos" being probably the most adored and deconstructed show in television history, with its 86 installments having been issued on season-specific DVD sets, and with devotees (the most likely customers for this set) already knowing the skein backward and forward, the episodes pretty much speak for themselves.
Popular on Variety
And so, as usual with such digital retrospectives, it's all about the extras, which are fairly generous.
Those include all three of the show's soundtrack releases, here condensed on two CDs; a grab bag of deleted scenes stretching back to season one; and "Sopranos" parodies as executed by "Saturday Night Live," "MadTV" and, in what amounts to the ultimate zeitgeist imprimatur, "The Simpsons."
More interesting are a two-part interview with creator David Chase by outspoken fan Alec Baldwin; two "Suppers With The Sopranos," freewheeling gabfests featuring Chase and a gaggle of the show's actors, directors, and writers; and a bizarre 2007 Paley Center seminar entitled "Whacked Sopranos" in which Chase and exec producer Terence Winter chat with actors Steve Buscemi, Drea DeMateo, Annabella Sciorra, Vincent Pastore and David Proval, all of whose alter egos bit the dust.
Given all that, it seems almost ungrateful to gripe, but there's still the nagging sense that the admittedly gorgeous spread is a couple of mushrooms short of an antipasti. For one thing, where's the gag reel? With a cast this familially comfortable with each other, there had to be tons of off-the-cuff hilarity and on-set screwups recorded over the years.
More egregiously: Where's James Gandolfini? Aside from the aforementioned deleted scenes, he appears in none of the extras. "The Sopranos" is that rare animal — a bonafide ensemble yet one with an undeniable lead character. To watch the bonus disks, you'd think its capo di tutti capo was a day player.
Although Gandolfini is notorious for his aversion to promotion and the press, as well as admirably eager to sacrifice the spotlight for his co-stars, fans deserved to see the man behind the most riveting pop-culture persona in recent history wax nostalgic about what was surely a fascinating ride. We demand a sitdown.

The AAVSO 2011 Demographic and Background Survey
Aaron Price
Kevin B. Paxson
Received February 16, 2012; revised March 13, 2012; accepted March 13, 2012
In 2011, the AAVSO conducted a survey of 615 people who are or were recently active in the organization. The survey included questions about their demographic background and variable star interests. Data are descriptively analyzed and compared with prior surveys. Results show an organization of very highly educated, largely male amateur and professional astronomers distributed across 108 countries. Participants tend to be loyal, with the average time of involvement in the AAVSO reported as 14 years. Most major demographic factors have not changed much over time. However, the average age of new members is increasing. Also, a significant portion of the respondents report being strictly active in a non-observing capacity, reflecting the growing mission of the organization. Motivations of participants are more aligned with scientific contribution than with that reported by other citizen science projects. This may help explain why a third of all respondents are an author or co-author of a paper in an astronomical journal. Finally, there is some evidence that participation in the AAVSO has a greater impact on the respondents' view of their role in astronomy compared to that expected through increasing amateur astronomy experience alone.

Campaign Art: Why it's imperative to scale-up maternal and child nutrition
Maternal and child nutrition is a key driver for sustainable development, yet about 155 million children worldwide are still stunted (children below average height for their age). According to the 2008 Lancet Maternal and Child Undernutrition Series "more than a third of child deaths and 11% of the total diseases burden worldwide are due to maternal and child undernutrition."
More recent estimates released in May 2017 by UNICEF, WHO, and World Bank suggest that number of children under 5 stunted has decreased from 254.2 million in 1990 to 154.8 million in 2016. While this a great progress in the last 26 years, 154.8 million stunted children is still a staggering number.

Improve operator comfort and productivity
Slewing bearing
Slewing bearing solutions in excavators, bucket wheel excavators and stacker / reclaimers are vital for the performance and reliability of the machines. SKF slewing bearing solutions are available in different designs to meet the requirements of mini excavators as well as giant shovels.
Due to their high carrying capacity and high resistance to overturning moments, they improve machinery reliability, operator comfort and working accuracy and, consequently, increase the productivity of the excavator.
The result? Higher reliability and fewer breakdowns. With an SKF centralized lubrication system, the SKF slewing bearing solutions become even more efficient.
SKF slewing bearings
Compact, economical solution that can replace multi-bearing configurations
Integral synthetic rubber seals effectively protect the bearing from the ingress of foreign matter, as well as prevent the escape of grease. Compared to the traditional pivot arrangement, slewing bearings have many design and functional advantages.
The assembly is much more compact and its hollow centre permits the installation of driving mechanisms and the passage of various control devices; the superstructures of the rotating part are more easily accessible. The small difference in height between the geared ring and un-geared ring reduces the overhang of the driving pinion.

Fishing for funds to be placed off limits for rule breakers
Posted on 21 October 2009
European governments and enterprises continuing to flout fisheries regulations are to be denied access to EU public funds, according to measures agreed by the EU Fisheries Council this week. WWF has welcomed the initiative, which at one stage seemed likely to be derailed by last minute objections from a group of nations fishing the Mediterranean.Brussels, Belgium: European governments and enterprises continuing to flout fisheries regulations are to be denied access to EU public funds, according to measures agreed by the EU Fisheries Council this week.
WWF has welcomed the Control and Enforcement Regulation creates a common system of rules and sanctions to be applied at national level in Europe.
"Existing rules have been applied poorly or not at all, disadvantaging fishermen and governments who played by the rules. Illegal fishing continues to be a huge threat to healthy fish stocks and profitable fisheries," said Aaron Mc Loughlin, Head of the European Marine Programme at WWF's European Policy Office.
When some fishing nations raised last minute objections to the Article 95 sanctions on public funding for rule breaking nations and fishers, WWF wrote to the EU noting that "the fishery sector is the only sector covered by Community law in which funds are still distributed to Member States with perfect impunity, without being conditioned upon compliance with control rules."
It was "common sense" that there be provisions "setting down countermeasures in suspending and reducing financial aid in cases in which Member States continue to show no intention of stopping persistent and serious infringements," the letter said.
The nations, led by France, had sought to have serious infringements dealt with by application to the European Court of Justice. However, WWF noted that "It took over 24 years for the Court of Justice to order France to pay penalties because of failing to carry out controls of fishing activities in accordance with the requirements laid down by the Community provisions".
WWF strongly believes that measures to tackle illegal fishing inside and outside EU waters are to be implemented as soon as possible starting from the 1st of January 2010.

You will regain more health and magic the longer you stay down. Type the command again to stand up from healing or just move your character. This command also has an on/off subcommand. 3] Parties, Alliances, and Linkshells _______________________________________ Managing a party or linkshell can be a lot of work. These quick commands should help lessen the burden. ---Parties & Alliances--- /partycmd (/pcmd) The main party command. This has a few special subcommands depending on whether or not you are a party leader: leave Leave current party. (Anyone) add [Player] Invites a player to join your party. (Leader only) kick [Player] Removes a member from the party. (Leader only) breakup Disbands the party and all members go to solo play. (Leader only) /alliancecmd (/acmd) The main alliance command. Alliance commands can only be used by party leaders. leave Removes your party from the alliance. add [Party Leader] Invites a party to join your alliance. kick [Party Leader] Removes a party from the alliance. breakup Disbands the alliance and all parties go back to individual parties. /invite (/inv) Sets your character to seeking a party or playing solo. You can add 'on' or 'off' after the command, but it is not necessary. /autogroup (/ag) Sets your character to seeking in auto-group mode. You will be placed in a party automatically with others in auto-group mode who are in the current area. /join Join a party or alliance that you have been invited to. /decline Turn down a party or alliance that you have been invited to. /nominate (/propose) Asks a poll. Look at this example to see how it is used: /propose party ''Should we go to Davoi?'' Yes No This would show to your party as: [Should we go to Davoi?] 1: Yes 2: No Spaces are seen as a divider between the question and options, so the question must be in quotes. A poll can have up to 8 options. Although polls can be said in Say, Shout, Linkshell, and Party modes, it is most often used in parties. To respond to the poll, use the /vote command. The poll results will be updated as votes come in anonymously. Typing /propose again ends the poll. /vote [Option #] Vote if a proposition or nomination has been issued. Votes are anonymous. ---Linkshells--- /makelinkshell (/makeli) Allows you to make a linkshell if you have bought a linkshell. /breaklinkshell (/breakli) Breaks the linkshell you are using. /linkshellmes (/lsmes) Displays your equipped linkshell's server message. This also has some subcommands: level [Level] Sets the authority level allowed to change the message. Levels are: All (any member), LS (linksack members), and PS (perlsack members) set ''[Message]'' Sets a new message to display. clear Clears the linkshell message of any message. 4] Mog House ________________________________________________________________ Don't like being social with your Moogle? Then these commands will help you out while you are in your Mog House. /bank Bring up your Mog Safe. This also works outside of the Mog House but you can not add or take out items. /storage Brings up your Storage menu. /mailbox (/deliverybox) Brings up your delivery box. /layout Takes you into layout mode for your Mog House. /garden Takes you into gardening mode for your Mog House. /tribune Temporarily logs you out of Final Fantasy XI to read The Vana'diel Tribune newspaper. This is basically a part of Playonline. 5] Chatting _________________________________________________________________ There are a variety of ways to express yourself and communicate while in the world of Final Fantasy XI. Here are the commands to help you do it: /say (/s) [Message] The default talk mode when first turning on FFXI. Can be heard by any character within a short range of where your character is standing. This text is a white color by default. /shout (/sh) [Message] A long range talk mode. Can be heard by any character in your current area. This text is a pink or reddish hue by default. /tell (/t) [Player] [Message] A one-on-one talk mode with another player who is online and currently playing Final Fantasy XI. This text is a purple color by default. /party (/p) [Message] If you are in a party, you can use this chat mode to communicate with your party members anywhere in the world of Vana'diel. If you are not in a party and use this command, you will receive an error message. This text is a blue color by default. /linkshell (/l) [Message] With a linkshell equipped, you can use this command to talk to anyone in your linkshell from anywhere in the world of Vana'diel. If you are not in a linkshell and use this, you will receive an error message. This text is a green color by default. /emote (/em) [Action] This command allows you to express actions, similar to a /me command in an IRC environment. The emote message can be seen in the same range as a Say message and its color is purple by default. Unlike special pre-set emotes, these will not be accompanied by your character performing a special action unless you specify one in a macro. (See *Actions and Emotions* for more details) /chatmode (/cm) [Mode] This works like the menus in allowing you to set a chat mode as your default to always speak in. Your default chat mode does not require that you put a command in front of every line you type. Shout can never be set as a default mode due to the obvious annoyance factors. Typing just /chatmode will show your current chat mode. 6] Actions and Emotions _____________________________________________________ ---Emotions--- The following is a list of the current pre-set emote messages in the game. These can be seen within the Say range and many are accompanied by your character performing a unique animation. Depending on if you are targeting something or not affects the resulting emote message. The first line of each description is what you would see if not targeting anything. The second is if you are targeting an object or person. /point [Character Name] points [cardinal direction]. [Character Name] points. [Character Name] points at <t>. /bow [Character Name] bows.

[Character Name] stares at <t>, confused. /shocked [Character Name] looks shocked! [Character Name] looks at <t>, shocked! ---Actions--- For any special emote message with a linked animation, you can have your character perform the animation without the text phrase by using this command: /[Emote Name] motion For example, if you wanted to have your Tarutaru do the "Happy Taru Dance", you'd just type: /panic motion If using this command in a macro, you'd use the same command: /em does the Happy Taru Dance! /panic motion The following special emote messages, however, do not have a corresponding animation: /smile /doze /slap /grin /stare /dance /muted To have just the text appear and not the animation, use this command: /[Emote Name] text ---Sit Command--- /sit is a newly added command where your character will sit down in a position different from that of when you are kneeling or healing. Unlike /heal, you will not regain health or magic. While in the sit position, you can perform the following emotes: /yes (/nod) /cry /no /laugh /clap /huh /wave /farewell /goodbye 7] Friend Lists and Blacklists ______________________________________________ ---Friend List--- Want to keep in touch with a party leader after the party disbands? Make a new friend while buying something from the Auction House? Keep track of them with your friend list! /friendlist (/flist) Brings up the friend list menus. /befriend [Player] Asks a person if they would like to join your friend list. These commands control how you are seen to people whose friend lists you are on: /online Shows you as online. /away Shows you as away. /busy Shows you as busy. /hide (/invisible) Hides your status from your friends. ---Blacklist--- And for those who annoy you to no end, there is the blacklist. By placing someone on your blacklist, you will not see anything that person says or emotes in any chat form. /blacklist (/blist) Brings up your blacklist. /blist add/delete [Player] Add or delete a person from your blacklist. 8] Searches _________________________________________________________________ With over 3,000+ people per server, it quickly becomes a chore to find specific people. The search command can help cut those numbers down quickly. /search (/sea) The main search command. Just typing this in will show you all the people in your current area. /sea all The 'all' will broaden your search to the entire server. ---Search Terms--- These are used to help narrow down a search and are to be used after the /search or /search all terms. friend Searches for people on your friend list. linkshell Searches for people in your linkshell (if equipped). name [Player] Searches for a specific person. race [Race] Searches for all people of a particular race. Race terms are: Hum, Elv, Tar, Mit, and Gal. level [# Level] Searches for people of a particular level.

Hometown terms are: San, Bas, and Win. area [Area] Searches for people in a specific area.

These are only a few examples, but as you can see, the searches can be quite detailed if you want them to be. Capitalization of names and terms isn't always necessary and you don't always have to indicate specifically what search type you want as long as you are using the proper terms and spellings. You can also narrow down your initial search by chooing the top line of the search results window and then choosing one of the options on the given side menu. 9] Miscellaneous Commands ___________________________________________________ Some commands just don't fit into any other specific category... /?

Your job(s) and levels will not be visable to people who 'Check' you. Your name will show in general area searches, but your job, level, rank, hometown, etc information will not be shown. The name over your head will also change to a dark blue color. /wait [Delay Amount] Mainly for use with macros, this command allows you to place a delay on performing actions. The delay can range from 1-20. Anything higher than 20 is read as zero. /volunteer (/vol) This command is not available to regular players. It is for voluneteers only. 10] Targeting Tags and More _________________________________________________ Whether working on an elaborate macro or just too lazy to type in a person's name, target tags, also known as pronouns and these other nifty abilities can help out a lot with the little things. <t> Selects whatever you are currently targeting. <st> Allows you to select a target while you are locked on to another target. This is helpful for healing someone while you are attacking something at the same time. Also known as switch target or sub target. <lastst> Targets the last sub target. Useful for macros with personalized messages. <stpc> Sub targets player characters only. <stnpc> Sub targets non-player characters only. <bt> Targets your party's current enemy that is highlighted in red. If there are multiple enemies being fought, they will be targeted in order. <ht> Targets a monster that a person has called for help with. <p0>-<p5> Selects a party member. 0 is yourself, the rest from the top of your party list going downwards with <p5> being the last member listed. (In a party of 6) <a1x>-<a2x> This is similar to the party pronoun but this is for alliances. a1 is the topmost alliance party, a2 the second party. x is the player to be targeted from top to bottom, 0-5. <me> Selects yourself. Just typing in your name works as well for macros targeted on yourself. <r> Targets who you last sent a /tell to. Useful for replying to someone if you don't like typing their name repeatedly. <pet> Targets your current pet, wyvern, or avatar. <scan> Targets monster tracked by ''Wide Scan''. <pos> Lists your current position for your area according to the map grid coordinates. It will be displayed like this: (G-9) <mpos> Lists your current position while on the boat. <call0>-<call21> Plays a whistle or other sound effect along with a controller vibration (if applicable). Despite the annoyance, these are helpful for alerting party members to danger, starting skill chains, getting the attention of someone who is dozing off or AFK, etc. The call tones only work in party chat. The following is a guide to the call tone sounds: 0-3 Whistle Blows 4-5 Trumpet Fanfares 6-9 Drums 10-11 A few bars of the Final Fantasy Prelude tune 12-13 Gongs 14 Chime 15 Buzz 16-17 Phone Rings 18-19 Boings 20-21 Soft Chimes <scall0>-<scall21> Plays a whistle or other sound effect but without the controller vibration. These only work in party chat. <ncall0>-<ncall21> Only performs the controller vibration. These only work in party chat. If you do not have a vibration enabled controller or do not have vibration turned on, you will just hear the tone. <job> Displays your current job/sub job combination and levels in abbreviated format. Example: 10WHM/5BLM <mjob> Displays your current main job and level in abbreviated format. Example: 10WHM <sjob> Displays your current sub job and level in abbreviated format. Example: 5BLM <hp> Displays your HP as a number out of your max HP. Example: 256/278 <mp> Displays your MP as a number out of your max MP. <tp> Displays your TP as a percent. <hpp> Displays your HP as a percent. <mpp> Displays your MP as a percent. <pethpp> Displays your pet's HP as a percent. Your pet must be in target range. 11] Legal Information _______________________________________________________ This FAQ may only be placed on the following websites with my permission: - GameFAQs (http://www.gamefaqs.com) - IGN FAQs (http://faqs.ign.com) - DLH.net (http://dlh.net) - Final Fantasy Unleashed (http://www.FinalFantasyUnleashed.com) - The Grey Order (http://www.thegreyorder.com) - Clan Phoenix (http://clik.to/ffxi) If you have found this FAQ on another site or wish to place this FAQ on your own site, please contact me for permission at: firstname.lastname@example.com (Replace the 'x's with 'e's.)

"By Saturday, we'd better know something, whether he's going [to play against Pittsburgh] or not," Ryan told reporters. "This coach would never put a player out on the field if there's a higher risk of him getting injured. There's no way in heck I'd do it."
On what Revis's threshhold for playing or not playing, Rex was absolute, "if he's not 100 percent, Darrelle won't play" Ryan said. "It's as simple as that."
While this is certainly cause for concern, I'm not going to call Revis out just yet. When asked yesterday, Ryan said that Revis wouldn't be able to practice until at least "later in the week" ... it's 100% tea leaf reading, but tomorrow doesn't sound like "later" to me. I will wait until we see what happens tomorrow. If Revis still hasn't practiced tomorrow, then his likelihood of not playing go up dramatically.
Ryan is cautious with his players and is especially so with his star / longtime veteran players over the course of the season. He'd rather give them too much rest on the front end and not risk the longer term. Except when Nick Mangold's absence sends the line into utter chaos. The Jets are going to have a tall order in beating Pittsburgh, so Revis is a key piece to the defense's ability to stop the Steelers, but if he's not able to go, that's no excuse. The Jets have two other first round cornerbacks and Cromartie has matched up decently on Wallace in the past. This could be a good chance for Kyle Wilson to showcase his skills at the #2 spot over the more tricky slot corner spot. Wilson has indicated in the past he prefers playing against the boundary, and if Revis can't go, then he'll get that edge.
If Revis can't play then it also means that we'll have to watch out for Ellis Lankster. He didn't see as many snaps on defense as Trufant did last week as he recovers from injury ... is Lankster ready to resume in earnest his 4th (potentially 3rd) corner duties?

You've read all about systemd, the new Linux init daemon. You know what it does, and why. Now it's time to dig in and learn how to make it sit up and beg — or at least start, stop, and get information on services.
Starting and Stopping Services
My earlier piece, "Here We Go Again, Another Linux Init: Intro to systemd" discusses the concepts behind systemd and what it is supposed to do. Now it's time to learn how to use it to control services on our systems. systemd is backwards-compatible with sysvinit and Upstart, so you can try it out by installing it on any Linux that uses sysvinit or Upstart without a lot of extra work. Arch Linux, Debian, and OpenSUSE all include systemd in their software repositories.
A conspicuous omission from distros that support systemd is Ubuntu. There are various reasons given for this, and I don't care because I'm tired of geekfights and just want to get on with things. Another way is to fetch yourself a copy of Fedora 15 or 16, which runs systemd by default.
systemadm is a nice graphical systemd manager (figure 1). It's still a baby so it might crash or something, but you can try it by installing the
systemd-gtk package on Fedora, the
systemd package on Arch, or the
systemd-gui for Debian. No, of course distros cannot use consistent package naming, because that is against the rules.
As pretty as systemadm is, let us adjourn to the command line for the rest of this article. Watch the prompts in the examples to see which ones require root privileges. You can see the status of everything systemd controls by running
systemctl with no options:
$ systemctl UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB JOB DESCRIPTION proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount loaded active waiting Arbitrary Executable File Formats File System Aut sys-devices-pci0...000:00:1b.0-sound-card0.device loaded active plugged 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller sys-devices-pci0...-0000:05:00.0-net-wlan0.device loaded active plugged Centrino Wireless-N 1000
How do you see only available services, running or not?
$ systemctl list-units -t service --all UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB JOB DESCRIPTION ceph.service loaded inactive dead LSB: Start Ceph distributed filesystem daemons at boot time chronyd.service loaded active running NTP client/server cman.service error inactive dead cman.service
These will spit out a whole lot of output, probably a hundred lines or more. Want to see only active services?
$ systemctl list-units -t service
You can check the status of any individual service, such as the cman.service, which has an error flag in the previous example:
$ systemctl status cman.service cman.service Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory) Active: inactive (dead)
How nice, it tells us what the problem is. Here is what a normal running service looks like, with complete information on the service:
$ systemctl status sshd.service sshd.service - OpenSSH server daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Thu, 15 Dec 2011 12:11:05 -0800; 2h 26min ago Main PID: 2091 (sshd) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/sshd.service 2091 /usr/sbin/sshd -D
On Fedora you can still use the old
service and
chkconfig commands. But why not start learning the new systemd commands? This is how to start a service:
# systemctl start sshd.service
Or use
restart to restart a running service. This stops a service:
# systemctl stop sshd.service
Those are in effect only for the current session, so if you want a service to start at boot do this:
# systemctl enable sshd.service
And that's all. No hassling with startup scripts. This disables it from starting at boot:
# systemctl disable sshd.service
You can check to see if a service is already running; 0 means it is currently running and 1 means it is not:
$ systemctl is-enabled sshd.service; echo $? enabled 0
You can use
systemctl halt, poweroff, or
reboot to shutdown or reboot the system. All three send a wall message to users warning that the system is going down.
Processes, cgroups, and Killing
systemd organizes processes with cgroups, and you can see this with the
ps command, which has been updated to show cgroups. Run this command to see which service owns which processes:
$ ps xawf -eo pid,user,cgroup,args PID USER CGROUP COMMAND 1338 root name=systemd:/user/carla/2 _ gdm-session-worker [pam/gdm-password] 1358 carla name=systemd:/user/carla/2 _ /bin/sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc 1487 carla name=systemd:/user/carla/2 _ /usr/bin/ssh-agent /bin/sh -c exec -l /bin/bash -c "startxfce4" 1515 carla name=systemd:/user/carla/2 _ xscreensaver -no-splash 1517 carla name=systemd:/user/carla/2 _ xfce4-session
cgroups were introduced into the Linux kernel a few years ago, and they are an interesting mechanism for allocating and limiting kernel resources. In systemd, cgroups are used to corral and manage processes. When new processes are spawned they become members of the parent's cgroup. The cgroup is named for the service it belongs to, and services cannot escape from their cgroups so you always know what service they belong to. When you need to kill a service you can kill the cgroup, and snag all of its processes in one swoop instead of playing find-the-fork-or-renamed-process. Another way to view the process hierarchy is with the
system-cgls command, as shown in Figure 2.
There is my old friend Avahi daemon. So instead of hunting down and killing the two Avahi processes the old-fashioned way, systemd lets me do it in one command:
# systemctl kill avahi-daemon.service
Lennart Poettering, the main author of systemd, has written a series of articles for sysadmins. They're not indexed, so here are links for your convenience. These cover customizing startup services, runlevels, gettys, and everything you need to know to control systemd

|This may be a common sight soon again in Aberdeen and other parts of the UK
Gritter/plow teams have been training in order to make sure that there are no icy roads when Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visit Aberdeen on Monday.
After a record wet and chilly summer, "global warming" is continuing in the UK:
After a wet spring and a washout summer, you might have thought we were owed a fine September of warm sunshine.
Well, dream on. The Indian summer appears to be over already.
You'll need jackets and umbrellas from today and while you're at it you might want to look out a scarf and gloves.
Temperatures started plunging last night with some parts of England and Wales falling to 0C (32F) overnight.
Widespread ground frosts in northern and central areas were also expected this morning – with gritting vans seen on the roads in some northern areas.
In Scotland temperatures were expected to drop to -4C (25F) in the early hours with icy conditions on high ground.

Market Changes
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2006 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 11, 2006
Energy Star homes in Phoenix save energy, but there is still room for improvement.
Eleven years after EPA launched its Energy Star Homes program, the marketplace for new homes has changed—but by how much? That's the question we set out to answer by assessing more than 7,000 homes in the Phoenix Home Energy Efficiency Study. In 2004, Advanced Energy partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Arizona Public Service (APS), Southwest Gas, and several national home builders to assess thousands of homes in the Phoenix area and to compare actual energy use data for homes built to various efficiency standards.Through assessing the results,we wanted to determine how much energy the baseline and Energy Star homes actually consumed; if homes built to Energy Star standards were more efficient than baseline homes; and if the implementation of Energy Star and other efficiency programs in new home construction resulted in a reduction of total energy consumption.

Welcome Back
In today's post I will be reviewing; Making Memories Clear Stamps; Card Making Set
I admit it, these were an impulse buy as I really liked the designs. In the past I have not had a good experience with Clear stamps and generally avoid them. These looked good quality and styles that would suit many occasions.
- Self Cling to acrylic blocks, no need for extra cushioning. (I use funky foam under the card I stamp onto, for the cushioning)
- Clear design allows for precision positioning
- Very fine detail
- Easy to use, don't need as much pressure to stamp the image as you do with rubber stamps.
- These do work ok with Dye based ink as well as pigment ink
- Self storage on clear sheet, includes a printed index sheet for reference and also a folder so you can store them in a ring binder.
- I wouldn't use permanent ink with clear stamps as the cleaners are likely to damage the stamp.
- I wouldn't use this style of stamp for ironing techniques i.e Fantasy fibres/films. The excess heat would damage them
- Keep them out of direct light as this will damage the stamp. (Also true of rubber stamps so not a big disadvantage)
Build Quality
Excellent! I lifted just the edge of the stamp and then 'walked' it off the backer sheet to avoid stretching the stamp and it behaved wonderfully. My previous experience with another brand, was that the stamp stuck fast to the sheet and tore when I tried to use it for the first time. Use gently when you stamp and the image doesn't distort.
Value for Money
Excellent, especially given the storage sheet, index sheet and storage folder insert that the set comes with.
Would I buy it Again?
Yes, I'm looking out for other designs in this range too.
Summing up
As with many items, products that look similar are NOT created equal. I had a big ANTI thing going for clear stamps as the previous set I tried; repelled dye ink, tore when I tried to remove them from their own packaging and stained badly. There seems to be a very wide choice of clear stamps available, it seems you just have to try various brands till you find one that works for you. Some stamps in some brands are very soft and squishy, if you press them like you would for a rubber stamp, the clear stamp squashes and you get a terrible result.
The Making Memories Clear stamps are excellent quality and stamp really well, keeping the fine detail of the design. Come back on friday for some top tips for getting the best from clear stamps.
Making Memories Manufacturers site.
Making Memories; Clear stamps including a video Demo
If you can't see a direct link to these stamps, type 'clear stamps' into the search box on the Making Memories site you should get them come up on the list.
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon

Top prospect Taveras highlights Triple-A roster
CINCINNATI -- The Cardinals' top four Minor League affiliates open their respective seasons on Thursday, and rosters for four teams have been released by the organization. Here are some highlights:
Triple-A Memphis: The Memphis club will be led by its outfielders -- top prospect Oscar Taveras, Stephen Piscotty and Randal Grichuk. Grichuk is expected to play a lot of center field, while Taveras and Piscotty will fill the corner-outfield spots. Boone Whiting will make the Opening Day start for the Triple-A team, which will also have Angel Castro, Tim Cooney, Tyler Lyons and Scott McGregor in the rotation.
Double-A Springfield: Three of the Cardinals' Top 20 prospects, as ranked by MLBPipeline.com, will begin the year in Double-A. That group includes reigning Minor League Pitcher of the Year Zach Petrick, Patrick Wisdom and James Ramsey. Also playing in the Springfield infield will be Aledmys Diaz, the 23-year-old Cuban shortstop who signed with the organization on March 9.
Advanced A Palm Beach: Marco Gonzales, the organization's top pick from the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, stands out as one to watch on the Palm Beach roster. Michael Mayers, taken two rounds after Gonzales, will also be on the pitching staff. Right-hander Joe Cuda and left-hander Kyle Hald will join Gonzales in the rotation. Position players Charlie Tilson and Starlin Rodriguez should help key the offense.
Low A Peoria: This roster is highlighted by pitcher Alex Reyes and catcher Carson Kelly, both of whom are considered top prospects in the organization. Reyes, 19, will be challenged in his first chance to play on a full-season professional team. Kelly, who made the conversion from third baseman to catcher beginning last September, will get his first extended opportunity to work behind the plate.

I still cannot believe AOA's are being fitted to old 405HH's, which are now in their twilight years and see limited exposure.
Hopefully this heralds the start of a new era and AOA's being fitted to the newer gear in the fleet.

ROCKFORD — Kody Walsh has been returned to the city where he was captured to face federal weapons charges.
Walsh, who was sentenced this month to 110 years in prison for first-degree murder, was transported April 18 by U.S. marshals from the Winnebago County Jail to Memphis, Tennessee.
He was charged with being a felon and a fugitive in possession of a firearm and a felon in possession of a stolen firearm — all stemming from his Sept. 16, 2012, arrest in Memphis.
Walsh, 24, was convicted of shooting Lori A. Daniels twice in the head Sept. 9, 2012, before leading authorities on a multistate manhunt.
He refused to pull over for Tennessee officers attempting a routine traffic stop and led them on a chase that ended when he crashed a suspected stolen Toyota into a utility pole.
Each of the three federal charges carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence, $250,000 fine or both. There is no opportunity for parole in the federal prison system. The U.S. attorney's office for the Western District of Tennessee Western Division declined to comment on the decision to pursue the weapons charges, given Walsh's lengthy murder sentence.
Nick Zimmerman, Walsh's public defender in Winnebago County, filed a request for an appeal in the murder case.
Zimmerman had asked Judge John Truitt for a sentence of 45 years. The appeal would be handled by appellate court public defenders in Elgin, who could attempt to overturn the conviction and sentence.

James has asked that something be done for the dowstairs entry doors into the cafe from the hall.
AP: Simone and Emi volunteer to do something there to show that the cafe is through the doors.
Upstairs walls- a couple of meetings ago we decided someone was going to do some stuff there but doesn't seem to be going ahead.
Kenneth of clown exhibition fame may be interested- should contact.
Posters- Nix proposes we re-define the poster areas again but needs to be policed. Also, a no posters poster should be created to prevent festival flood of posters and promo material but should not be aggressive in tone.
AP: Carlos wants to be poster police and aims to create a board to hold the workshop info.
There seems to be a thread brewing on FOH forum for those who are interested in doing stuff e.g. Emi is making some lampshades.
Perhaps a FOH is coming- we could do the gallery floor at the same time.
Nix feels that the visual arts group should be more proactive in improving the forest's appearance
But, the ability to make FOH decisions does not entirely rest with the VA group as many of the people interested in doing stuff are not at the meeting and it is not best practice to make those decisions without them, yet previous attempts to clarify the issue have not been successful.
Perhaps FOH should have its own meeting.
AP- discussion to continue on BB
Nix would like some budget for a garffiti workshop to teach people who are not familiar with the medium on the public wall near the forest.
Should this be workshops budget?
No, our mission statement says we promote the creation of art by supplying materials and space.
AP: £30 awarded for Nix's workshop.
The Artist exhibiting in the Festival has asked for extra money, we think it will be cool so agree to give him the £50 he was entitled to and an extra £50 award.
would like to do a blog to accompany the shows in the gallery, either on ArtReview or on Forest.org. We all agree, he should just do it wherever he thinks is best.
ACTION DAY- was good the last time so we will schedule another one for 22nd June.
Martin as point of contact for Roman in festival.

No. 8 prospect May coming up to debut for Twins
OAKLAND -- The wait is over.
Highly regarded prospect Trevor May will make his Major League debut for the Twins on Saturday against the A's. The right-hander will be recalled from Triple-A Rochester to make his first big league start. The Twins optioned first baseman Chris Colabello to Triple-A after Friday's 6-5 loss to make room for May on the roster.
"It's definitely exciting," May said. "To have this happen is a little bit surreal. But I had the flight here to get that out of the way. Now that I'm in the clubhouse it feels like another day at the field, but I'm excited to be here. It's just one of those cool things that happens in your life and happens only once."
May, ranked the club's No. 8 prospect by MLBPipeline.com, posted a 2.93 ERA in 17 starts with Rochester. He struck out 91, walked 37 and allowed four homers in 95 1/3 innings. May's 2.93 ERA ranked fourth in the International League.
May had a chance to make his debut earlier this season, but he missed nearly a month with a right calf strain sustained in late June. The injury also kept him from participating in the Futures Game at Target Field on July 13. But he returned to action July 19, and reached the 90-pitch threshold in his last outing on Monday.
"He's been doing fine," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We've been patient up here waiting for him to get here. He's been throwing good. He's excited and we're excited to see what he does."
May, along with fellow top prospect Alex Meyer, helped anchor the rotation at Rochester. And he cut down on his walk rate, which had plagued him in the past.
May has always had a power arm -- he's struck out 10.5 batters per nine innings throughout his seven seasons in the Minors -- but he has dealt with control issues. But he's cut his walk rate in three straight seasons, going from 4.7 walks per nine innings in 2012 to 4.0 last year and 3.5 this season.
May, 24, was acquired by the Twins before the 2013 season in the trade that sent Ben Revere to the Phillies. May, who will wear No. 65, was already on the 40-man roster.
May, a native of Kelso, Wash., said he'll have about a dozen family and friends in attendance at the game. He also said he's been hearing from fans on Twitter all season about when he would be called up and was excited to have it finally happen.
"I'm a pretty big Twitter guy so I see a lot of the stuff and I'm tagged in a lot of it," May said. "So I think it's fun. I think it's what Twitter is for. It's for the fans to get excited and feed off each other's excitement. It gets me excited, as if I need to be more excited. So I'm glad to have the support of the fans."

REAL NAME: Ted Dibiase
6'3", 245 pounds
BORN: June 18, 1954 in Omaha, Nebraska
NICKNAMES: The Million Dollar Man
Inside the ring, Ted Dibiase, the Million Dollar Man, proved that money was indeed the root of all evil, doing some of the most dastardly things ever seen in WWE. Outside of the ring, however, Dibiase turned his life around, got away from drugs and alcohol and now helps others to do the same.
Dibiase was the adopted son of wrestling legend "Iron" Mike Dibiase. When Ted was fifteen, his father died of a heart attack during a match. After his mother, fellow wrestler Helen Hild, fell into a state of depression and turned to alcohol, Ted was sent to live with his grandparents. After graduating from high school, Dibiase went to West Texas State on a football scholarship.
Dibiase wouldn't graduate from West Texas State, dropping out instead to begin wrestling in Oklahoma. In his June 1975 debut, Dibiase defeated Killer Karl Kox and there was no turning back.
Dibiase would tour Japan early in his career before returning to North America and competing in the Central States territory, winning the Central States title from Sgt. Slaughter and later, the Missouri title from Dick Murdoch.
Dibiase would team with Murdoch when he traveled to the Mid-South and won the NWA U.S. Tag Team titles on April 26, 1976. In December of that same year, he defeated The Spoiler to win the first of five North American Heavyweight titles. He also received an NWA World title match against Harley Race but succumbed to a neck injury before he could claim the title.
In 1979, Dibiase went north to the then-WWWF where he would be billed as the North American Champion upon his arrival. In June he lost the title to Pat Patterson and the title was deactivated in favour of the new Intercontinental Championship. Dibiase remained in the WWWF for several more months, and was even Hulk Hogan's opponent in Hogan's Madison Square Garden debut.
In 1980, Dibiase returned to Mid-South and quickly regained the North American title, defeating Mike George in Shreveport, LA on February 1st. Future wins for that title would come over Paul Orndorff, the Junk Yard Dog and Brad Armstrong before his fifth and final title reign ended at the hands of Terry Taylor in March 1985.
In October 1983, Dibiase would win the NWA National title after winning a 12-man tournament with a bizarre ending, when Jerry Lawler forfeited the match in the finals.
In March 1985, Dibiase teamed with Stan Hansen to win the Pacific Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions. Back in North America, Dibiase found himself another tag partner: Steve "Doctor Death" Williams and in May, the two defeated the Rock and Roll Express to win the Mid-South Tag Team Championships, en route to becoming one of the top teams in Mid-South history. Dibiase would continue to team with Hansen in Japan and Williams in the Mid-South/UWF organization until the summer of 1987, when Dibiase signed with WWE.
Dibiase would return to the WWE as "the Million Dollar Man", with Mike Jones, the former Soul Train Jones, as his bodyguard/valet Virgil. Dibiase would instantly become the top heel in the company, as he flaunted his money and got audience members (including a youngster named Rob Szatkowski who would go on to greater fame as Rob Van Dam) to perform degrading tasks for money.
However, perhaps what gained him the most amount of notoriety in the WWE was his attempt to purchase the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Hulk Hogan and later, attempting to lead Andre the Giant to the title, with the intent of buying the title from Andre.
Left to try and win the title in the ring, Dibiase made it to the finals of the WWE title tournament at Wrestlemania IV, only to lose to Randy Savage. Dibiase chased Savage for that title throughout the summer of 1988, eventually teaming with Andre as the Megabucks against the MegaPower team of Savage and Hogan at SummerSlam '88.
Dibiase also uses his money to buy the #30 spot in the 1989 Royal Rumble, but was tossed by Big John Studd who won the Rumble. But money couldn't buy everything as Dibiase found out when he attempted to purchase Hercules, only to have Hercules balk at the idea.
If he couldn't win the WWE Championship and he couldn't buy the WWE Championship, Dibiase decided to purchase his own championship, introducing "the Million Dollar Belt" to the WWE. The title was never official and rarely did Dibiase even bother "defending" the title. Shortly after the 1990 Royal Rumble (in which Dibiase drew #1), Jake "the Snake" Roberts returned from a neck injury that Dibiase had caused and immediately targeted the Million Dollar Man, even stealing the Million Dollar belt.
Prior to his victory over Roberts at Wrestlemania VI, Dibiase also tried to buy off the Big Boss Man and, much like Hercules before him, the Boss Man wasn't having any of it. After a short feud with the Bossman, Dibiase began to feud with Dusty Rhodes as the Million Dollar Man clashed with the Common Man. First Dibiase bought off Rhodes' manager, Sapphire and then, he attacked Rhodes' son, Dustin.
The Rhodes family clashed with Dibiase and Virgil for the rest of 1990 and even into 1991. Meanwhile, at the 1990 Survivor Series, Dibiase announced his surprise mystery team member, the Undertaker although Dibiase would hand the managerial reigns of 'Taker over to Brother Love.
As the feud with Rhodes was winding down at the 1991 Royal Rumble, Dibiase found that his bodyguard, Virgil, was less than happy with his present position. Virgil finally became so upset that he turned on Dibiase, and, with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper in his corner, defeated his former boss by countout at Wrestlemania 7.
Dibiase wasn't without someone in his corner for long as he took Sensational Sherri to be his new valet. Even Sherri's help couldn't prevent Dibiase from losing his Million Dollar belt to Virgil at SummerSlam '91. Instead, Dibiase relied on some interference from Repo Man to help get his title back in a rematch.
Dibiase began teaming with Irwin R. Shyster (Mike Rotunda) and, with manager, Jimmy Hart, formed Money Inc. The new pairing gelled quickly and defeated no less than the Legion of Doom to win the WWE Tag Team titles on February 7, 1992. Money Inc. would lose and regain the Tag Team titles from the Natural Disasters (Earthquake & Typhoon) over the course of 1992.
In early 1993, Dibiase had a match against a returning Brutus Beefcake. He and Shyster continued to attack Beefcake even after the match was over. The beatdown convinced Jimmy Hart to leave Money, Inc. and prompted Hulk Hogan to return and team with Beefcake at Wrestlemania IX.
During a five day period in June 1993, Money Inc. lost, regained and again lost the WWE tag team championship to the Steiner Brothers. Money Inc. continued to team, feuding with Razor Ramon (Scott Hall) and the 123 Kid (Sean Waltman). In January 1994, Dibiase suffered an injury to his neck and spine (on his 40th birthday, no less) and was forced to retire from the ring.
After joining Vince McMahon behind the mic during the 1994 Royal Rumble, Dibiase turned his attention to managing. He formed the Million Dollar Corporation, with IRS, Nikolai Volkoff and Bam Bam Bigelow. Over the summer of 1994, however, he promised to bring the Undertaker back to WWE. What he produced was a fake Undertaker (Brian Lee) who lost to the real version at SummerSlam 94. But SummerSlam wasn't a complete loss for Dibiase as he added Tatanka (who turned on Lex Luger) to his stable.
Dibiase's feud with the Undertaker continued into 1995, with King Kong Bundy and Kama, the Ultimate Fighting Machine taking on the Phenom, and Kama even stole 'Taker's urn. Meanwhile, Dibiase's team of Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka lost in the finals of the WWE Tag Team Tournament at the Royal Rumble. Post match, Bigelow engaged in an altercation with football star Lawrence Taylor, leading to a match at Wrestlemania XI.
Bigelow would leave the Million Dollar Corporation after the loss to Taylor, but Dibiase added Sycho Sid, the 123 Kid and, temporarily, Henry O. Godwinn, although the latter quickly turned on Dibiase. By the beginning of 1996, however, Dibiase found himself a leader without a corporation, only to rebound by signing the Ringmaster, the future "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who became the new Million Dollar Champion. But it was a loss by Austin to Savio Vega in a Caribbean strap match that would force Dibiase to leave WWE.
Dibiase would resurface in WCW, as part of the New World Order. His stay in the NWO was a short one, as he took on the managerial reigns of the Steiner Brothers. After leaving the Steiners, Dibiase would leave WCW as a whole.
Ted Dibiase, the one-time "Million Dollar Man", had become a born-again Christian outside of the ring and, with his wrestling career over, at least for the moment, decided to devote his time and life to more worthwhile causes, including speaking at churches and working with the Sunshine Foundation. In addition to starting his own ministry, the Heart of David Ministry, he also worked as a motivational speaker, speaking out against drug and alcohol abuse.
In 1998, Dibiase published his autobiography, entitled Every Man Has His Price. A year later he became an ordained minister. But wrestling wasn't quite out of his system just yet. In addition to appearing on several World League Wrestling shows, Dibiase returned to WWE in March 2005, acting as an agent and working on the creative end of the Smackdown brand.

On paper, The CW's show The Selection sounds like a slam dunk: a TV version of Hunger Games, set 300 years in the future, where the reward for winning is to marry a handsome prince. But when The CW actually filmed a pilot last year, the results were apparently not satisfactory — perhaps not surprising, given some major flaws with the book source material.
But now, The CW has retooled The Selection and feels good enough about it to film a brand new pilot. No word if Aimee Teagarden is still playing America Singer (yes, that's really her name) but apparently showrunners Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain (Dollhouse) are still on board. And here's the retooled synopsis for the TV version:
Set 300 years in the future, an epic romance centering on a working class young woman chosen by lottery to participate in a competition with 25 other women for the Royal Prince's hand to become the nation's next queen. Balancing her loyalty to family, true love, and kingdom, she must attempt to remain true to herself as she navigates the cutthroat competition and palace intrigue, all while a budding rebellion threatens to topple the crown.
So now there are 26 contestants, instead of 35, for the crown. And hopefully they've tightened it in other ways as well. [EW]
