TIFF 2008 Red Carpet Articles
Two years ago, I interviewed Jennifer Lopez on the carpet for El Cantante at the Elgin in Toronto. It was intimidating enough speaking to La Lopez herself but even worse because I could not keep my eyes off her Dolce&Gabbana. It was beaded, it was brilliant, it was breathtaking, and she was so beautiful it was sick. She was also very, very, very sweet. There are galas night after night at TIFF. And since the star guest list this year is impressively bright, it naturally follows that the glamour factor will register on the high side. In other words, it'll be impossible for Kate Beckinsale to overdress for this one - although she really should work on that little problem, non? The best part about the red carpet excitement? We can be judgy! Hundreds of red carpet photos will be posted every day during the festival on this dedicated TIFF Red Carpet page. Here's where you can tell people who are thinner, richer, and better looking than you that they chose an ugly dress. Or suffer with envy over a pair of shoes you can never afford. I'll be right there with you.
TIFF Review: The Sisters Brothers

Opening this weekend is the latest in the budding sub-genre of sensitive, revisionist Westerns (following on the heels of Slow West and Damsel Full Story
He has a girlfriend
Jim Sturgess last night on carpet for the TIFF premiere of his film Fifty Dead Men Walking – thanks to Tony W for the photos. Also attached – Jim outside the Intercontinental after his junket. My colleague Zain was selected to interview him in our eTalk Lounge. I did not want to speak to Laura for a long time when I found out she'd deemed me not worthy. Full Story
Mark, Amanda, and Troy
Ethan Hawke was at the roof lounge at the Hyatt two nights ago, possibly last night too but my toes refused to cooperate. Michelle, who has been in love with Troy Dyer since 1994 lost her sh*t a little bit. He did look good. Gaunt…but good. And not even smarmy. Wasn't working on an erotic poem scribbled hastily on a bar napkin. Full Story
Rachel walks alone
It was no surprise that Rachel McAdams did not bring Ryan Gosling to the TIFF premiere of The Lucky Ones. More on them in a bit… First – here she is walking the carpet last night in Gucci, a dress that looked way better in person. Rachel was gorgeous, as usual, last night. Her sister did her makeup – it was natural, her skin was fresh, and she absolutely glowed…even though the hair kinda sucked. Full Story
TIFF Blooms
Mark Ruffalo has like 8,000 movies in the festival this year! Seriously…he's a busy dude. But so underrated. By all accounts he is delightful in The Brothers Bloom which premiered last night at TIFF. Haven't had a chance to screen it but I can't imagine that Mark and Adrien Brody together for 2 hours will be terribly tough to endure. Full Story
Easy Virtue on the Roof
For three nights during TIFF, Bonyan Films has sponsored parties at the Park Hyatt rooftop – always the hottest celebrity destination at the end of the night, attracting the likes of Kate Hudson, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Adrien Brody, pretty much every star who has come through the festival and a few super producers too. Full Story
Of course
Of course it was. It was silver and big, it was the opposite of subtle, it was a princess at the ball – it was Kate Beckinsale who can never manage to scale it back… ever. This is Kate on the carpet last night at the TIFF screening of Nothing But The Truth. She looked lovely, yes. And she's a pretty woman, yes. Full Story
Healthy on the carpet
This is Keira Knightley at the gala premiere of The Duchess. Isn't she the picture of perfect health and vitality? Doesn't she look so well fed? Have to say - this dress is lovely. Not sure about the shoes. I would not have picked the shoes. The colour though...it's perfect. And her breasts are bound like a boy's - I know you disagree. Full Story
Jen in person
My first Aniston close-up. And twice in one day. Yesterday, Sunday, she came into our eTalk Lounge for a sit-down interview with Ben Mulroney. Without a doubt, it was Jen Day. Her film was not a gala. It screened at a small, little theatre far from the fanfare of Roy Thomson Hall, but her premiere easily eclipsed everyone else's. Full Story
The TIFF Pitt Presence
There were probably close to 100 reporters and stringers in Toronto this weekend with only one assignment: to trail Brad Pitt. Where he went, what he's doing, who he's with. Like…it was their sole purpose at the festival. Which of course is why he has to move around the way he does – secretly, as in presidential secrecy, underground passages, decoy vehicles, and a firm reluctance to leave his hotel. Full Story

It was intimidating enough speaking to La Lopez herself but even worse because I could not keep my eyes off her Dolce & Gabbana.

When the electronics industry shifted to lead-free solder in the wake of the European Union passing the Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, naysayers predicted a wave of product failures. Well, where are the failures?
Dr. Ronald Lasky, Dartmouth professor of engineering and a frequent blogger on solder, claims the transition to lead-free was a grand success. "A lot of people claim that lead-free solder is not as reliable as lead-based solder," Lasky told me. "We're now five years into the implementation of RoHS, and we've made $3 trillion work of electronic. We haven't really noticed any big change in reliability."
He says long-term reliability is still a mystery, since most of the products with lead-free solder have not been deployed that long. Yet he points to benefits of today's solders, noting they are easier to mass-produce when pitches are tight. When high-density semiconductors are packaged in small form factors, using lead-free solder can result in boards with fewer problems. "Lead-free solder doesn't wet well, so you can get better lead spacing," Lasky says.
He notes a study by Motorola where design engineers built identical boards with lead-based and lead-free solder. The results showed that leads printed close together shorted out when lead solder flowed during melting.
Lasky concedes that high temperatures needed to melt lead-free solder have created some problems. "Moisture sensitivity is a big issue that's often overlooked," he says. "Much of the moisture research was done for lead-based temperatures, not the higher temperatures of lead-free processes."
He explains that if you have a moisture rating of four for lead, it might be five or six at lead-free temperatures. "This new situation can cause problems such as popcorning, as well as board warpage."
Lasky will discuss many of the facets of designing and processing boards using lead-free technologies during the IPC Midwest conference on September 21 and 22 in Shaumburg, Ill.

Tuesday's Tall Tales - Run Out of Town
Thomas Joseph Brown Jr. was the son of Thomas Sr and Mary nee Barrett and was born around 1905 in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. I was told that he was run out of town because of gambling and booze during prohibition. He relocated to Elmira, New York, about a 2-1/2 hour drive (133 miles away). What did he do in Elmira? I'm told that he ran a whore-house. Um...kay...My Uncle Ed also believed that Tommy joined the Army at some point, but it may not have been that long a tour of duty.
So I'm not 100% sure about the year of his birth. It was estimated on the U.S. Census, but it should be close. I was able to find a record for a Thomas J. Brown who served in the Army. He enlisted in 1942 from Chemung County (Elmira is in Chemung) and was born in Pennsylvania in 1905. Should be mine, but for some reason I never requested his military records. I guess I wasn't so convinced it was him. I'm half Irish and our names are fairly common...Brown? Yeah, just think of how many Thomas Browns there could be. I know, looking back at it I can think to myself that I was an idiot for not realizing it was him. Call it inexperience!
No whore house found though. Nothing verifying that he was "run out of town". As far as we know he never married. My uncle Ed (and he's been right or very near it with almost everything he's told me about family) said that he was buried in unconsecrated ground because of the things he'd done. My grandfather, Edward Brown Sr, was said to have gone to Elmira to try to secure a burial place for him and perhaps to permit his burial in consecrated ground. If he was successful, I don't know, but I did finally find his final resting place.
Last week I was fulfilling a request on Find A Grave and when I was done I decided to side-track myself a bit with my own family. I tried locating Barrett relatives that moved to Buffalo, New York. Not having much success with concrete matches, I turned to another line, and Tommy was the first I thought of. He popped right up too. The memorial had been there for years. I couldn't believe it. Had I really not searched for him on there before? Either way, he was there, waiting for me to find him, nicely tucked away in Woodlawn National Cemetery in Elmira, NY....a veterans cemetery.
I immediately requested a picture of the gravestone and requested that his memorial be transferred to my care. Within one, maybe two days, both had occurred. I don't know why I was so delighted to find him. I never knew him. I was born 15 years after he died. Perhaps it was the love of the hard find! My uncle Ed was right again though. Tommy died in 1957.
I've already sent away for his death certificate and military records. With any luck I'll see them sometime in 2011, maybe 2012. That won't stop me from finding more information though. When I travel back to the Northeast this summer, I'll be diving into the local newspapers, both in Elmira and Hazleton. I'll be checking for the obituary and see if it gives any clues to his purported shady past. With any luck I'll find a picture. What did he look like?...apart from being 67-inches tall and 107 pounds (short, skinny bugger!). So many more questions and the tall tale hasn't been confirmed or denied, but I've got more to go on and that's just what I needed!

planet [Gr.,=wanderer], a large nonluminous body of rock or gas that orbits the sun or another star, has a rounded shape due to gravity, and has cleared its orbit of smaller objects. The term, once limited to any of the eight solid, nonluminous bodies (also called major planets) that revolve around the sun, has been extended to include similar bodies discovered revolving around other stars. The term planet sometimes has been used to include dwarf planets and asteroids (or minor planets); it does not include comets and meteoroids (see meteor.

The crazies are at it again...
Celebrating its 5th anniversary, the Halloween Cameo Caper is going for another round of cameoing crossovering Halloween madness come this October!
It has for more years than the Caper has been in existence, become the norm for a lot of webcomics to do something special around Halloween, especially stunts that involved other comics and/or dressing up of characters have been common!
Since such out-of-canon activities at special occasions like this are liked by, we'll like to promote this great opportunity for interaction by inviting all webcomic-artists and their characters to take part in this years Halloween Cameo Caper!
Now, to get a little more specific... the Halloween Cameo Caper is an event centered on the 31th of October where characters from all interested comics (no kind, style or hosts are bared) are invited to one hell of a party in a place especially chose fo the Annual Caper. The original concept is that, at the date of Halloween (or the day closest to, taking updates schedules into accounting), the particpating artists post a strip (canon, none-canon, filler etc.) on their site or in the forum, showing their characters and as many characters from other comics as possible, having fun and celebrating the event at the chosen place!
All strips will be collected on a Hub for the years Caper, to be shown off as the Caper proceeds and for posterity.
Thats the concept you sign up for! One strip at the day of Halloween... BUT... nothing prevents any and all participant from creating whole storylines centered around the event, storylines the go way before and beyond the month of October and Halloween Eve, and there are nothing to prevent the participating webcomics from joining up and forming crossovers with each other for the sake of the event, exactly like it has been done before! Actually... its recommended to do so, but not a demand
The essence of it all is for everybody, artist and readers alike, to have fun! To try ones skill at drawing others characters and to see them interact!
... besides that, it's also a great way to promote ones own comic!
The first year the Caper went to the town of Shelterville in the old Wild West, 2007 went to Disneyland orbiting a faraway planet in the near future, and in 2008 a a "local" zombie-filled mall was throughoutly thrashed... not to mention the chaos in the old mysteriously haunted castle of Overlook in 2009...
... as for this year's Caper:
--- Incoming message ---
Mayday! Mayday! SOS! Khaklars!
This is Captain Rumsque of the Refuge Colony Ship of Nostromummy!
We are lost in space and don't know where we are or when we are!
The core of our warp-engines has suffered a critical failure and the core has been breached, causing a pulsing time-warp that threatens both the ship and surrounding space! Already now we feel its effects running through the ship…
We don't know the cause of this breach, was it caused by strife between some of the onboard factions of various races from the Home World, or has it something to do with what we found on that alien wreck? Was it damage taken during the Star Pirate attack and the battles onboard following their raids, leaving hole sections to be barred, or was it the bio-uprising in the center-court during the celebration-preparations that spread?
I can't say what's the cause, our Chief Engineer might be able to, but he has… changed.
We can no longer navigate, the bridge having come offline and time and space are collapsing around us! Within long we will hit the twin-suns unless we get help!
I'm holed up in the com-section but I can hear them getting near… if anyone hears this, please send help, whenever or wherever you are, if you have the ability, please co… oh my! They are coming! They are com…. *kzzzzzzzh*
--- End of Message ---
What do you say? Does that sound intriguing and alarming to you? Well enough for you to set out and see what's wrong at RCS Nostromummy and perhaps help the ship, crew and people populating it?
If you are not fully sure of your answer yet, then take a look at the Setting of RCS Nostromummy thread in the Caper's Forum and look at the files of the ship chose as destination for this year's Caper… unless it'll meet a fiery demise in the twin suns all too soon!
When you have decided that this is something for you and your characters and you want your all to become a part of the Halloween Cameo Caper 2010, go make a new thread in the Caper's forum, titled your comic's name, in which you accept the above stated "invitation", presenting yourself as well as the characters you will send for participation in the Caper aboard the Spaceship, including references for the characters(cast page, strips, drawings etc.) so other artists will know how to draw them. Any and all questions people will have regarding you, your comic, characters and plans for the Caper will be in that thread too!
By doing so you also state that you, at least, at the date of Halloween (or the day closest to, taking updates schedules into accounting), will post a strip (canon, none-canon, filler etc.) on your own site or here in the forum, showing your characters and as many characters from other comics as possible, having fun and celebrating the event aboard the Spaceship Nostromummy!
However, nothing prevents you creating whole storylines centred around the event, crossing over with other comics and co-writing storylines as you go… as a matter of facts, it's recommended, but not a demand
Deadline for signing up for the Caper is set to 1st of September 2009!
Hope to see you at Nostromummy this Halloween!
- Hogan

Teixeira expected in lineup on Sunday
Bryan Hoch is a reporter for MLB.com. Follow him on Twitter @bryanhoch and read his MLBlog, Bombers Beat.
ST. PETERSBURG -- First baseman Mark Teixeira played three innings in a Minor League game on Thursday at the team's complex in Tampa, Fla., and is expected to return to the big league lineup on Sunday against the Rays.
"He had a really good day," manager Joe Girardi said. "He played three innings today, got three at-bats, went first to third and felt really good. He's expected to play five [innings] tomorrow."
Teixeira had not played since April 4, when he strained his right hamstring reaching for a ground ball against the Blue Jays in Toronto.
"Everything is pointing to him playing for us [on Sunday]," Girardi said. "It's something that we have to talk about, but everything points to him being here."

Pair of Goals in Dominating Performance v. Crew Earns All-Star His Second Weekly Honor of 2010 Season
SANDY, Utah / NEW YORK (Monday, August 16, 2010) – Real Salt Lake midfielder Javier Morales was today voted Major League Soccer Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) for Week 20 of the 2010 MLS season. Morales led Real Salt Lake to a 2-0 victory, scoring both goals and controlling play throughout his 63-minute performance against the Columbus Crew last Saturday at Rio Tinto Stadium. Morales also put in an energetic 90-minute effort in a midweek match last Wednesday at Philadelphia Union, helping RSL gain a road point from a 1-1 draw in its first-ever contest at PPL Park.
Morales gave Real Salt Lake an early lead on Saturday night, as he finished on a beautiful shot in the 11th minute. After working a short corner with fellow Argentine Fabian Espíndola, Morales drifted towards the upper left corner of the 18-yard box, received the ball from Espindola and blasted a shot toward the far post. The ball ricocheted off the right post and into the net past the outstretched arms of Crew goalkeeper William Hesmer for the first goal of the game.
After pushing the play and pulling the strings of RSL's high-flying attack in search for a second goal, Morales struck again in the 60th minute off another dead ball chance. The midfielder stepped up to take a free kick opportunity on the edge of the arc and sent his shot through the Crew wall and past Hesmer to record the final goal in the 2-0 victory for the defending champs. The win stretched Real Salt Lake's home unbeaten streak in MLS play to 21 games (14-0-7), the current run now just one behind Columbus' League record of 22 set across the 2008-09 seasons.
This is Morales' third career Player of the Week award and second of this season. The 2010 MLS All-Star First XI choice earned the honor during the first week of this season, courtesy of another scintillating two-goal effort in a 3-0 win at San Jose, and also in Week 6 (April 22-26) of last season.
This marks the 16th Player of the Week honor awarded to a Real Salt Lake player in the club's six seasons of play, and the fourth distinction of 2010, Morales' two honors joining FW Álvaro Saborío's pair of weekly plaudits in Weeks 8 and 14. Jeff Cunningham has earned the honor a franchise-high five times, while Morales' Week 20 honor gives him three. Saborío and Robbie Findley have collected two awards each, while Pablo Campos, Fabian Espíndola, Chris Klein, and Yura Movsisyan have each collected the award once.
The MLS Player of the Week is selected each week of the regular season by a panel of journalists from NASR. The group consists of members of print, television, radio and online media. More information and membership information can be found at http://www.soccerreporters.com.

Kimberly Stewart Gossip
Kimberly Stewart gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Shirtless Harry totally did it with Kimberly Stewart
FameFlynet, Bauer, Splash
While Twi-Hards are melting down over #RobstenIsBrokenForNowButNotForever, One Directioners are losing their sh-t over these shirtless shots of Harry Styles holding a baby in Barcelona. 1D is currently on tour and were enjoying some down time at their hotel. Seriously, if I were 20 years younger, that would totally work for me. Full Story
Harry Styles & Kimberly Stewart...?
Splash, Pacific Coast News
What? Harry Styles went for dinner with Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster yesterday in LA. Fine. But the photo agencies are saying that at some point, Harry was "reportedly seen kissing and holding hands" with Kimberly Stewart, 33, who gave birth to Benicio Del Toro's baby Delilah last year. Full Story
The hands, the author, hatemail, and puppy-off!
Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson premiered Water For Elephants in New York last night. I imagine the MiniVan Majority is eating up that white embroidered dress of hers. If ever there was a dress to campaign on…. But, um, speaking of dresses … The author of Water For Elephants Sara Gruen, should we take a moment to look at hers? I just want to say that a black cocktail with a really great pair of shoes never hurt anyone, you know? Also, as you can see, Pattinson's freaky tea-pouring hand showed up too. Full Story
They are not a couple
It's the best recent randomness: Benicio del Toro's people have confirmed exclusively to Life & Style (because they went through her garbage and found the pregnancy test? Or because People Magazine wouldn't pay her?) that he and Kimberly Stewart are having a baby. Full Story
Crusty Spittle
Spittle Gerard Butler was partying at The Groucho Club in London last night with Natalie Imbruglia and Kimberly Stewart, surrounded by paps when they left. Spittle had a short fuse as he was followed by a few embarrassing female fans who were getting lippy with him. According to the paps, the girls were so annoying that Spittle ended up snapping at them: "You know what, you go to get a f-cking life, is that what you're about?" Maybe it wasn't the most gracious thing to say but really… if you're shaming yourself and giggling drunk ass around town in the middle of the night over Spittle Gerry, you're asking for a bitchslap. Full Story
Twilight weekend and KStew's mad steeze
It's Twilight all over Vancouver as there are now almost 20 Los Angeles based paps in the city dedicated to hunting vampires – in particular, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Which is why the actors are not moving around town as easily and as comfortably as they were before. Gone are the days when Pattinson would be able to walk to Yaletown without security for brunch on Sunday. Full Story
Rob on Sunday
The Twilight kids were all over the place in Vancouver this weekend. As I was the first to report last week, they spent 3 days shooting at the Cullen House ending early Saturday morning. Saturday night Nikki Reed, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson, after dinner at the Opus Hotel, showed up at a club to support Nikki's friend who was performing. Full Story
So they're not barbies…
Is this a bad thing? The new cover of Tatler features not generic looking genetic freak models, or photoshopped starlets, but 3 wickedly tarty daughters of rock royalty: Kimberly Stewart, Leah Wood, and Peaches Geldof. Love it. Not because of the democratisation of beauty that it represents… f*ck no, who cares? But because English celebutantes are infinitely more interesting than American ones. Full Story
Almost like the prom scene
The cast of Twilight dressed up for In Style. What I said in my movie review about Rob Pattinson as Edward arriving at school in sunglasses announcing his new status as Bella's boyfriend – this photo of him with Kellan Lutz pretty much captures it. Full Story
Blame the Man
Widely criticised yesterday for trying to control the press, Angelina Jolie revealed on Jon Stewart that it was a move made by her lawyer and her representatives and not something she knew about. As you would expect, her attorney has also stepped forward to admit that he went overboard in his attempt to protect his candid client and that she in no way had anything to do with trying to get members of the media to sign a contract prohibiting them from asking personal questions and saying negative things about her. Full Story

Boost Your Pricing Power
Industry leaders have identified that Pricing Power is critical to business success. Open Pricer will help you to align with industry best practices and effectively manage the five pricing processes:
- Price Setting: Are your prices in line with market, value and costs?
- Deal Quote: Is your sales team executing the price policy correctly?
- Price Implementation: Have you eradicated pricing errors? (e.g. charging more or less than the quoted price)
- Contract Management: Are your customers correctly priced? Are they profitable? Are they complying with their commitments?
- Price Increases: Are you effectively managing your rerating campaigns?
Price is the most powerful profit lever
The following graph illustrates the profit increase resulting from a 1% improvement in Variable Costs, Fixed Costs, Sales Volume or Price. As can be seen from the four case-scenarios presented, acting upon your Variable Costs will have the smallest impact on your profit. Whereas increasing Price by 1% will increase Profit by 20%.
Variable Costs (6%)
Fixed Costs (13%)
Sales Volume (14%)
Price (20%)

British & Irish Lions Tour Manager, Gerald Davies, and Head Coach Ian McGeechan, has announced the Lions team for the third match of the 2009 tour of South Africa.
The selected team will play the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Saturday and will be led by Captain Paul O'Connell.
Davies said, "The starting XV to play the Cheetahs is an interesting one with club and country combinations in many areas. The boys who played against the Golden Lions put down a marker in terms of the way we want to play and I know those playing against the Cheetahs will be very keen to keep the momentum going and produce another strong Lions performance."
Commenting on the team selection Head Coach Ian McGeechan said, "With the selection of Donncha O'Callaghan, Leigh Halfpenny and Luke Fitzgerald in the starting XV it means that all the squad players will have taken to the field according to plan. We also have new arrival Gordon D'Arcy on the bench which gives him a chance to get straight into the action."
"Although there are no players backing up from the starting XV against the Golden Lions several of the replacements who saw action in that match have now been selected for their first start.
"For the Cheetahs match Andy Powell, Stephen Ferris, Euan Murray, Ross Ford, Harry Ellis and James Hook are all in the starting XV team for the first time."
"The team includes an all Welsh back three, an Irish combination in midfield and a Munster second row pairing. We are also are continuing to build partnerships and combinations among the players from the four nations and this is reflected in the front row where Scottish team-mates Euan Murray and Ross Ford will pack down in the front row alongside Andrew Sheridan, and the backrow where three players from three different nations will play alongside each other."

San Ramon - "You mean as in, er, 'With Concrete?' maybe?" bemused Big Oil sources quipped tonight as Chevron top brass reviewed the scalps Fitzie's notched up fighting organized crime in the last 30 years.
This weekend the awesome former US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Patrick Fitzgerald is one hot piece of ass to replace Chuck 'Hagel-Don't-Bother-Me' Hagel on the Chevron board.
The San Ramon-based super major is well pleased with Fitzgerald's track record which includes nailing Dick Cheney's chief-of-staff Scooter Libby for perjury in the Valerie Plame yellow-cake trial.
Also high up on Fitzgerald's CV are multiple convictions in high profile investigations including the jailing of TWO State of Illinois Governors George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich.
Also incarcerated was media tycoon Conrad Black, numerous bent aides of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley mired in the Hired Truck Program scam, as well as corrupt Chicago PDY detective and accused torturer Jon Burge.
It's that classy profile that sees Chevron directors woo Fitzgerald to take over where US Secretary for Defense-in-waiting Chuck Hagel left off.
The California-based energy company has become something of a high class finishing school for US government high fliers and its alumnae include Condoleezza Rice - Dubya's National Security Advisor and subsequent US Secretary of State.
Another NSA chief General James Jones also cut his big oil teeth at the Chevron board just as the company prepared the groundwork for its massive racketeering lawsuit against Ecuadorian Amazonbotch scammers and their KGB pimps.
At his NChicago home this weekend Fitzgerald is supposedly feigning ignorance of the proposed high profile elevation to the Chevron board.
Friends reckon other 'springboard' offers appear almost every week as he continues to hunker down at his sassy law firm partnership position at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher And Flom.
The price of crude is still hovering around the $100-a-barrel mark.

Pass4sure Is Best Place For Precise And To The Point Preparation Materials
"When I started my preparations of ITIL exam I was worried about the lengthy course, I used so many resource materials but there were great confusions attached with them.

I passed with 84 percent and I was so happy that I passed with grace and honor. Thank your pass4sure for helping in shortest time and for being most precise and accurate. Sincerely Jacob Peter"

I Trusted Pass4sure Completely!
"Honestly, I have never been an above average student ever in my life. It felt always the easy way to be a little laid back about studies. I just wanted to pass my college degree that's it. But when I entered the life when I actually had to earn money myself, I was quite shocked. Everything was so competitive, my degree was surely not enough to take me through this competition. My best pal suggested to take the ITIL exam. He also picked Pass4sure for me himself, and just said to trust him and this website. When I started going through the material for ITIL exam, I realized why he asked me to trust it. The more I read, the more my confidence built up. Yes, certainly I passed my ITIL exam with the efficient material of Pass4sure. Sam Xavier"

For 129 years, the Royal Society of Canada did not have a permanent head office. That changed in 2011, when William Leiss, President of the Society from 1999-2001 and Chair of the Committee on Expert Panels from 2008-2011, capped his decades of continuing service to the RSC with a commitment of $500,000 to be applied to the financing of a home for the fellowship. With Bill's commitment, in September of 2011, the Society acquired a heritage home at 282 Somerset Street West, in Centre town, Ottawa. The building has been named Walter House in honour of Bill's mother, Ethel Bertha Walter.
Members of the RSC Walter House Committee namely: Chris Loreto - Chair, Maryse Lassonde RSC President, Jean-Marie Toulouse - Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee, David Layzell, Chair of the Committee on Expert Panels and the Institutional member representatives Robert Proulx – Recteur UQAM and David Barnard – President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Manitoba and I, are delighted to inform you the renovation and restoration of Walter House was completed on schedule and on budget during the December vacation period.
The mandate approved on December 8th by decision of the RSC Finance and Audit committee and Council focused on:
Bringing Walter House to Code, making it a safe, secure and a healthy environment for the RSC employees and putting the RSC in a good position for where decisions can be made by Council on its income generation potential in the near future.
I presented two proposals to the Finance Committee and then to Council. Following approval I supervised the renovations at Walter House -288 Somerset West. All the electrical is now brought up to code and received certification from the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA), the City of Ottawa fire department and the building code inspector and the Water testing authority and the asbestos in the building has been abated. The team of ASCENT Contracting and David Egan the architect-designer who assisted me in obtaining the permit from the City of Ottawa for the four floors of fire escape staircase was excellent. The budget and the timeframes were kept in line with what was approved.
Change of the IT systems at the office and move to a turn-key Cloud option, with a reasonable fixed monthly rate.
A new IT system for the RSC office emails and electronic files based on the turn-key fixed rate monthly option that I presented to the Finance committee and Council and received approval, was completed on January 15th. The back-up of all the emails and files are here in Canada and the data migration GRADE A. The close-up of the past service contract and the data migration from their rented server was managed smoothly.
The VOIP phone system transitioned smoothly to VERSATURE.
In consultation with staff I performed a needs and pricing analysis of the VOIP system used at the RSC. To ensure increased efficiencies and reductions in costs, the seventeen lines of the VOIP phones were reduced to ten, thus maintaining a service that we require and has room for expansion in the future depending on needs and resources.
On behalf of the Walter House Committee, we thank all our Fellows, College members and Institutional members for your generous donations to the Walter House Campaign in 2015.
Please come and visit when you are in Ottawa and feel at home.

Check out the table that Chuck built for the A-Z West guest cabin. It is a very nice table – out of redwood and fir. In stripes!
I've been wanting to try this pattern forever – and have been interested in learning how the softer woods respond to age and use. (I suspect that they will age well – though this wood is a lot softer then the materials that I have typically used for table tops in the past)

Mission Statement
International Mission Statement of The Salvation Army
The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by love for God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and meet human needs in his name without discrimination.
Short Mission Statement of The Salvation Army in New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga
Our mission is to care for people, transform lives and reform society through God in Christ by the Holy Spirit's power.
Full Mission Statement of The Salvation Army in New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga
The Salvation Army is an international movement and an evangelical branch of the Christian Church, which expresses its ministry through a balance of spiritual and social programmes. In its founding it was mobilised by God, and in its continuance is totally dependent on Him for the power to fulfil its calling. Everything it does is as an offering to the glory of God and for the worship and adoration of His Name.
The mission of The Salvation Army is:
Caring for people:Salvationists follow the example of Jesus by identifying with the needy, standing alongside them and caring for people in all situations.
Transforming lives:Salvationists believe that God can transform people and that the resulting wholeness is experienced through belief in Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit. This transformation is evidenced in discipleship and commitment.
Reforming society:Salvationists seek to express the love and power of God in the community. This calls for the challenging of manifestations of evil, injustice and oppression, and for steps aimed at their elimination.

I'll say this for Facebook. They will never stop finding ways to appall me.
Facebook Home, the new branded edition of Android that is being rolled out in conjunction with various phone vendors— HTC most prominent among them— is even more disturbing than I imagined.
The idea is simple enough. Facebook has created an Android 4.1-powered launcher and phone environment, which will be released on a number of phones offered at low price points ($99 for the HTC First, for instance). The main UI for Home, called Coverfeed, is a full-screen stream of updates and contact notifications— a giant Facebook skin.
The Verge put it this way: "Facebook wants to make your phone a lot more like your News Feed."
Putting aside what an appalling concept this is— have you seen what a ghastly, disorganized, unsortable mess Facebook News Feeds are?— the first thing I find interesting is why HTC is participating in this when it is attempting to do something vaguely similar with the new version of the HTC One. That phone features "BlinkFeed", a homepage news stream app, custom-built for the phone. It doesn't consume RSS, but rather a proprietary update format which HTC has enlisted a whole roster of websites to provide for them.
See, I didn't think BlinkFeed was a terrible idea, just not a particularly good one. After all, why reinvent RSS? I suspect everything BlinkFeed does could have been accomplished with RSS or Atom, plus maybe some existing semantic markup.
But Facebook Home isn't just about reinventing the wheel. It's aimed at scrapping it entirely.
Facebook's long-term ambition has been twofold. First, to become the de facto front end for the web— to become a portal not just to the lives of your buddies, but to everything else that is on the web in the first place. (There is remarkably little discussion about Facebook eclipsing Google as a search engine, maybe because nobody thinks the subject is worth taking seriously; they need to reconsider.) The second step is to replace the web entirely— to take every piece of functionality that we've normally associated with the rest of the web, from picture storage to news aggregation to messaging— and reincarnate it inside Facebook's ad-driven walled garden.
Facebook Home is yet another way to do that. By giving people a low-entry-level device that's essentially a front end for Facebook— or a convenient all-in-one fullscreen app— they make it easier for people to dispense with dealing with any other part of the web that's not Facebook. They don't have to block anything explicitly; they just have to make the Home experience so immersive, and offer so much through it, that after a while you don't feel the need to touch anything else. And given that I have friends who barely know a web that exists outside of Facebook, that's really unnerving.
What I'm reminded of, more than anything else, is the way Microsoft bundles IE with Windows and used MSN (and then later Bing) as the default homepage for the browser. It was, and is, a clever tactic: it drove a certain built-in level of traffic to those services and gave IE some automatic market share. But even MSN and Bing are not total enclosures; they're way stations to other things. Facebook, though, wants to save you the step of having to go anywhere else. How nice of them.
HTC isn't the only company that's signed up for Home as a partner. Sony and Samsung are also in, although whether they'll be offering phones similar to HTC's product isn't clear; I suspect it's about their phones being able to run Home without undue difficulty (and not, say, have Android updates break it). Another version for tablets is also under development for release later this year, with what I suspect will be an immersivity all of its own.
And while ads are not present in Home yet, Zuckerberg & Co. made no bones about eventually including them. I suspect their strategy is to get the phones out to the general public first, harvest some behavioral telemetry for several months, then crunch those numbers and figure out where would be the best place to put the ads other than in a cluttered right-hand column that nobody looks at anyway. They are nothing if not clever.
The fact that Facebook is ad-driven is not what's disturbing about it. Many other sites use ads to monetize their content. It is that they invert the relationship between advertiser and consumer. You're not the user of Facebook; you're one of its products, and they go to some length to conceal the implications of this from you. Home is just the newest wrinkle in how they plan to accomplish this. And the terrible thing about it is that it might actually work exactly as intended.

I was so excited to receive the Sound+Sleep sleep therapy system for review. It works straight out of the box - you just need to plug it in and turn it on.
There is a neat feature - the Adaptive Mode which adds sounds to the SoundStory and automatically adjusts the volume to the background noise by adding sounds if it is loud and then readjusting to normal when the loud noises fade. Very cool eh? I also think the ability to have the Sound+Sleep on a timer is fantastic - I used the 30 minutes and it was perfect because I was asleep before it turned off! A HUGE improvement in my falling asleep struggles. There is a button which turns off the lights - BONUS! I've actually kept it on all night recently :)
Kenzie loves this system as well. She thinks she is changing the "music" by turning the knob. I love the soothing sounds of this system compared to the baby white noise machine we currently have in her room.

Gurtzham, Hans (d. 1550)
Hans Gurtzham, a cobbler, was a member of the Anabaptist group at Ortenburg in Carinthia, whose leader was Michael Matschidl, called Kleinmichel. In 1546 he was seized with Matschidl and his wife Lisbeth; the three were examined by two priests, but stood their ground so well that "the others had to retire with shame." The captives were put in chains and taken via Spittal to Drauburg, where they lay in prison for a time, and were then transferred to Vienna. In prison they met the Anabaptist Hans Staudach and three other brethren who were executed on St. Matthew's Day. Hans Gurtzham glorified their death in a hymn. The others were held about three years.
From prison Matschidl wrote a letter to the brotherhood in Moravia, stating their intention to remain true to the end. But Matschidl's end was a peaceful one. A great fire broke out in Vienna, and, as was the custom, the prison doors were opened. Matschidl and his wife escaped to Moravia, but Gurtzham returned to prison. Here he wrote two hymns, "Die Harpfen" and "Das Ortenburger Lied." In the former he describes his own capture and the martyrdom of Staudach. Gurtzham was drowned in the Danube, 27 June 1550. The Geschicht-Buch reports the rumor that before the drowning he was led into a warm room, and as he was sitting behind the stove he quietly left this life, whereupon his corpse was cast into the river.

Measurement invariance of binary outc...
Mplus Discussion
Categorical Data Modeling
Xu, Man
posted on Friday, November 04, 2011 - 1:33 pm
Dear Dr. Muthen,
I was wondering if you could give some advice regarding a measurment invariance issue. I have got binary indicators of a latent variable. I would like to test invariance both across time and across gender.
The Mplus manual has descriptions on how to do measurement invariance on categorical variables. Should I fowllow the same for the binary variables that I have? ie.
1. configural model
2. metric (factor loading +threshold) invariance
3. metric + residual invariance.
Thanks very much!

The Mplus UG describes how to test measurement invariance for binary/categorical variables.

Thank you. I have had a look and did it accordingly with the theta paremeter. As I have repeated measures at T1 and T2. I first did measurement invariancet (MI) on the T1 and T2 in the whole sample, but the MI procedure is exactly the same according to the steps in UG; secondly, I did multiple group MI in males and females with T1; thirdly, I did MI in males and females with T2. The three steps all look fine in terms of RMSEA, TLI and CFI, so I did not look at partial invariance and moved to the forth step, where mutliple group analysis MI is done with both T1 and T2.
In the last step, the mutiple group configural model converged with T1 & T2 fully equivelent including means(0=T1=T2), loading(T1=T2), threshold(T1=T2), uniquess(1=T1=T2), and with male and female loading, threshold, uniquess (=1 in male group) free estimated.
However, when I move to the next step, where the female group factor loading, threshold, and uniqueness got freely estimed, there was a problem.
The model did converge but the degree of freedom are somehow 6 degrees lower (512 vs. 506) than the configural model. I checked the output and the results seem reflect the parameter specification in the input files. So I was confused. Do you think there are something done wrongly?
I have got 2 constructs at each wave, 6 binary items repeatedly measured twice.
Thanks a lot!

sorry, in the previous post, third paragraph, I meant:
However, when I move to the next step of strong MI, where the female group factor loading & threshold constrained = the male group, but uniqueness and means got freely estimed, there was a problem.

I am really sorry for the "much ado over nothing", After a hard look at the TECH1, It turned out that I forgot to put the longitudinal uniqueness constraint in the free group.
Thanks for your time to read my posts. Please point out if there is something obviously wrong still...

Could I ask a follow up question? Say if I got my two group model up and running after Mi tests, and I want to create a latent difference score factor (T2-T1) in each group, is it possible to do? I figured that this would not be able to do, as any means in the reference group would have to be fixed to 0 for the means to be estimated in the free group. In order to get the latent difference scores in males and females, I suppose I will have to run the model by selecting observations seperately for each group, right?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - 9:45 am
With repeated measures, you should not use multiple group analysis because the groups do not contain different individuals. You should compare across time. See the Topic 4 course handout under multiple indicator growth. Factor means can be zero at one timepoint and free at the others when intercepts are held equal across time. With two timepoints, the difference is the timepoint that is free.
Xu, Man
posted on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - 2:59 pm
Thanks! I did not mean to use T1 as group 1 and T2 as group 2. I want to have T1 & T2 (with strict or strong MI) in male group and T1&T2 (with strictu or strong MI) in female group. But since I have binary items with theta, I think (with strict or strong MI cross groups), the means at T1 and T2 in the male group are 0 by default. So I would not be able to estimate a latent difference score in the male group (or the female since the model would not converge).
In other words, if I had 3 time points, I'd like to run growth model in males and females as seperate groups. Is this possible in binary indicators under theta?
Xu, Man
posted on Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - 5:54 am
I just tried my two time points model(binary indicators, theta) in a growth model setting (constraining the time level variances to 1 to converge). Results of this model are identical to another setup where I had it as a latent difference score model. Both setups have strict measurement invariance across T1 and T2.
Then I add one line to each of the two model: GROUPING IS sex2 (1 = male 2 = female);
This time the latent growth multiple group model converged, but not the latent difference model:
T1 by
i1_1 @1
i1_2 (2)
i1_3 (3)
i1_4 (4);
T2 by
i2_1 @1
i2_2 (2)
i2_3 (3)
i2_4 (4);
[i1_1 i2_1](5);
[i1_2 i2_2](6);
[i1_3 i2_3](7);
[i1_4 i2_4](8);
i1_1 @1;i1_2 @1;i1_3 @1;i1_4 @1;
i2_1 @1;i2_2 @1;i2_3 @1;i2_4 @1;
LC by T2;
LC with T1;
Do you think I need to change my syntax on latent change model if I want to get it run as mulitple group model? I'd like to use the latent change model as I want to have have the latent change score predicted and to predict other variables of subsntative interests. Thanks!

I don't master the latent difference model with two time points. Maybe a question for SEMNET.
Xu, Man
posted on Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - 6:27 pm
Thanks. I just posted to the SEMNET. But then afterwards, I found I could mimic the key thing in latent change model from the latent growth set up, that is, the regression coeffecient leading from baseline (or intercept factor) to the growth factor (or the "beta" cofficient in the typical latent change models):
i s |
s ON i; !the "beta" cofficient in latent change models
I wanted to control for initial time point in asesssing the other predictors effect on the change score. And this works in multigroup as well. So I think this is probably what I need. But still it would be great to know exactly why I could not get the multiple group model to run in the latent change set up. I just posted to SEMNET. Maybe someone is gonna answer...

Hey guys, Dawn here from DragoArt, and I've got another treat for ya'll. Last night, I was testing with various styles of coloring, and two pieces came out the way I intended. Saeko was one of them along with Kamina from Gurren Lagann. I had fun with the creation of this piece and I hope my joy rubs off on ya'll as you try it out yourself. Anyways, I've watched like, two episodes of "Highschool of the Dead" and I've gotta say, it's pretty...strange. Most of the time, it's all fan service for teen boys (water balloon jiggling boobs, heavy crotch shots, shiny butt cheeks and skin), a little too awkward for my liking. The characters are almost the same, except for Tagaki, who is a bit likable. Saeko partners with Takashi, who is the lead role in the series, but, the girl characters are most important leads it seems. They have a bigger fanbase than Takashi himself (maybe because his character is pretty dull and flat). You'll recognize Saeko by her long purple hued hair and large breasts, like most of the female characters. She has a quiet personality, and redeems a liking to Takashi over the episodes. Now, because this show is still pretty new, it's gaining publicity pretty quickly. Anyways, I've gotta flee to my next tuts, I hope ya'll enjoy this as much as I did! Don't forget to submit your artwork of Saeko and drop me a message on how you did. Deuces!

Staring down her 50th birthday, Valerie Bertinelli defied age and finished the Boston Marathon Monday.
The actress and former wife of Eddi Van Halen finsihed the 26.2-mile race in 5:14:37, telling People magazine moments after crossing the finiah line she felt "euphoric."
"I am so high right now, more high than if I'd had a bottle of champagne!" she said.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Bertinelli, who has kept her figure trim and sexy since dropping 40 pounds, is a spokeswoman for Jenny Craig. She said her trainer, Christopher Ross Lane, convinced her to take up running in January, 2009, and she credited it with helping her keep her weight steady at 123 pounds.The former "One Day at a Time" star, who turns 50 on Friday, raised money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute by finishing the race.
"Now I get to turn 50! I've been so busy thinking about the marathon that I completely forgot about Friday!" she told the mag.
Bertinelli, one of more than 26,000 runners, finishes more than three hours behind winner Robert Cheruiyot, who set a course record of 2:05:52.

Two armed robberies earlier this year on the Clark University campus led to a state prison sentence today for an 18-year-old Worcester man.
Bernard Fowler, of 86 East Central St., was sentenced to 3 to 5 years' imprisonment, with 2 years of probation to follow, after pleading guilty this morning in Worcester Superior Court to three counts of armed robbery and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (firearm).
The charges stemmed from robberies that occurred June 9 and June 15 on the Clark campus, according to Assistant District Attorney Sarah Richardson.
In the June 9 holdup, two men told authorities they were walking on campus toward Shirley Street when they were approached by a group of males, the prosecutor said.
One of the men, later identified as Mr. Fowler, pulled a handgun from his waistband, placed it against the victims and stole a wallet and cellphone, according to Ms. Richardson. The victims reported the robbery to campus police, who alerted Worcester police.
Six days later, a man was sitting on a bench on campus with a friend when they were approached by a man who demanded the man's wallet.
When the man tried to ignore the suspect, the man threatened to "pop" him and made a gesture suggesting he had a gun, according to Ms. Richardson. The man handed over his wallet and reported the robbery to campus police, she said.
Mr. Fowler was arrested a short time later after he was identified by the witness and victim and was found to be in possession of the victim's debit card, Ms. Richardson told the court.
Under questioning by police, Mr. Fowler admitted committing both robberies, the prosecutor said.
The sentence imposed by Judge John S. McCann was recommended by Ms. Richardson and Mr. Fowler's lawyer, Michael G. Cashman.
As conditions of probation, Mr. Fowler was ordered to stay away from Clark University, to have no contact with the victims and witnesses in the two cases and to undergo a mental health evaluation and any related treatment deemed appropriate by the court.

It is a privilege to announce that I am running for re-election in 2010 in House District 19 for the Colorado House of Representatives. I have remained unwavering to my promise to be your voice at the State Capitol, and together we have accomplished phenomenal things. Now, more than ever, your voice must be heard as we move forward to face the challenges ahead!
It has been my honor to represent you and your family the past three years in the Peoples' House. In that brief period of time, and in the face of the State's budget shortfalls and the downturn in our economy, we have been extremely successful in pursing state policy and issues that directly benefit our district. My record includes the passage of 21 pieces of significant legislation. These bills were all in response to ideas, issues and concerns brought to me by the citizens of House District 19, and their steadfast assistance has made this accomplishment possible.
These new policies reflect the commitment and passion I have for the all of the citizens of House District 19. I believe it is vital to continue our fight for the values and principles that framed this country: PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS, LIMITED GOVERNMENT, 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS, FREEDOM OF SPEECH, and a STRONG DEFENSE. It is also critical to ensure that we have enough WATER and NATURAL RESOURCES to sustain our communities and families. Our future depends on winning these battles!
The Colorado spirit is alive and well in House District 19, and TOGETHER we will continue to frame legislation and debates important to the citizens of Fountain, Calhan, Security, Falcon, Widefield, Ellicott, Colorado Springs, Peyton, Ramah, Rush and Hanover. With my family, friends and supporters by my side, we will continue to fight for values, principles and issues important to our district and state.
