Last week, this column was illustrated exclusively by middle-aged men, so I'm jolly grateful to Zach Galifianakis, star of The Hangover and its forthcoming sequel, for saying something mildly interesting about an attractive young lady. January Jones, best known as Mad Men's Betty Draper, recently claimed that Galifianakis (whose name I remain unable to spell without cutting and pasting it from the internet) was the most naturally funny man she'd ever met.
"That's really funny," Galifianakis tells Shortlist, "because, if I remember correctly, she and I were very rude to each other... I was at a party – I'd never met her – and she was like, 'Come sit down.' So I sit at her table and talk for 10 minutes, and she goes, 'I think it's time for you to leave now.' So I say, 'January, you are an actress in a show and everybody's going to forget about you in a few years, so fucking be nice,' and I got up and left. And she thinks that's funny?" Funny enough for me to print, Zach.
* Comedian and conservationist Bill Bailey was chuffed to be immortalised in plant form at last year's Chelsea Flower Show, when a new breed of carnivorous Nepenthes was named after him. But has he taken the accolade a little too seriously? Carnivorous "pitcher plants", he informed me at the launch of this year's Flower Show, are "much cooler than regular plants. We've got a bathroom that we keep them in at home. We've got chameleons in there as well; it's a tropical bathroom. The temperature has to be kept quite high and the conditions quite moist so that it suits the pitcher plants – they love all that. And of course there are insects in there as well, so the insects fall into the pitcher plants and they eat them. Flies get in there. Crickets... A few locusts." Surely you don't bathe in this so-called bathroom, Bill? "It's a fully functioning bathroom that we bath in and wash and everything." I don't think he was joking.
* A phone call from my favourite Estonian (I know only the one): Lembit Opik, glamour model-bothering ex-member for Montgomeryshire, and star of my notional sitcom Anyone But Lembit. He's deeply displeased, he tells me, by the Lib Dems' lack of movement on the mayoral question: the party still has no candidate to run against Boris and Ken, with less than a year to go until the election. Poor, unemployed Lembit complains, "I deliberately haven't tried to get a nine-to-five job so I can concentrate on campaigning for the mayoralty full time. It's hugely unhelpful that we still don't have a timetable for the selection. I'm already campaigning, but without being able to say I'm my party's official candidate. It really is the worst-case scenario." (Believe me, it could get a lot worse.) When I call the party's press office on Lem's behalf, a spokesman chuckles, then assures me that the selection process will begin "er, soonish".
* Watching Barack O'Bama sink a pint of the black stuff in Moneygall, I'm reminded how keen his Democrat forebear Bill Clinton was to inform the world of his Irish roots. When he took office, alleged distant cousins were unearthed and County Fermanagh was talked up as the family seat of Clintons past. "I feel more Irish every day," the ex-president proclaimed on one of his many visits to the Republic. Yet unlike Bush, Reagan and Obama, there remains no concrete evidence that Clinton is in any way Irish. I suppose it depends on what your notion of "is" is.
* A hat tip to Nicholas Grier, senior lecturer in law at Edinburgh Napier University, for helping to burnish this column's hard-earned reputation for factual vagueness. "I was fascinated," Grier writes, "to read that Sir Fred [Goodwin] will be moving to upmarket Colindale... The good burghers of Colinton, just down the road from where I work in Edinburgh, may not be wholly sorry that their flighty new neighbour has decided to up sticks to London at such short notice." Given that, as Grier suspects, my knowledge of "the North" stretches little further than "Kenwood House on a wet Sunday afternoon", I do hope he'll forgive this single-syllable, 400-mile mistake. More venerable hacks than I are familiar with Colindale as home to the British Library's newspaper archive. No doubt I'll soon be sent there as penance, on some spurious but lengthy fact-finding mission. I'll be sure to send a postcard.

Sugar High
Jennifer Lopez has her own back, movie star magnetism, B+ beats, una buena onda to surf, and a lousy voicewhich I find to be a stumbling block in bubblegum bounce. Compare to Ophélie Winter, who has tighter songs and a richer voice and is a supermodel. So why isn't she famous?
She isin France, where I'm writing from. Her last single, "Je marche à l'envers," walked back ward through Natalie Merchant's "Carnival," spilled the whine and doubled the hooks, and made noise all over MTV Europe with a space-age bachelorette video avec ruby fright wig. But when she rerecorded the song in English with the title 'Spy," shhhh. Sony didn't even release it in the States. Possible reasons for the trans-Atlantic whiff: (1) Not actually Swedish, though album was recorded in Stockholm per European Union's Pop Proviso of 1997. (2) Sony waiting for French- American demographic to show some muscle before sending in Gallic glamour queens. (3) When you've got faux chanteuses like April March, who needs actual French singers? (4) Market already saturated with Shakespeare crap. (5) New Janet-es que single, "Je cours," more geared to dancefloor, where accents are still le sexy. Dear Sony: voulez-vous to rock that shit, please?
Upmarket from Ophélie, the world capital of discopop fronts Daft Punk and Stardust and of course Air. You loved "Sexy Boy" cuz it was straight outta Gainsbourg, a liber-teen anthem with its eyebrows arched clear to the moon. But "Kelly Watch the Stars" wants to take you higher. The Moog Cookbook mix (available on the "All I Need" single) is the floorshakinest piece of pocket lint the world dug up during the last year, a breath taker clear to the sampled "whooooooo!"
But Frenchy don't rockat least, not enough to light up an American radio. After four decades, voilà: not a single band to chill on the playlist with Golden Earring, much less the Scorpions, the Sex Pistols, or Roxette. May be because they were trying actual revolutions; in '68, the first punks went right past guitars to police cars on fire. Maybe, per my local analysts Moxley'n'Evans, there's a lack of sufficient friction between the high and low (meaning both the proles and the bourgeoisie knock off early for a glass of wine). Or maybe the nation's still in recovery from its absurdist WW II performance, known in these parts as "the funny war." So it was particularly hilarious when Courtney Lovestill iconic June 22 at La Zenith berated the stage-jumping efforts of les riot girls nouvelles. "Show me why you won the war!" As Louis Malle's wife would've said, you could've heard a pin drop. Then the most Marie Antoinettesque rock star ever promised a stupid love song to home. As everyone clenched their fists or perhaps teeth for "Celebrity Skin," Hole dropped into a lazy, happy cover of "Paradise City" that swore the revolution was over, that it was all the same pop now. And the crowd knew the words better than the band and drowned them out gleefully and so it was that populist ecstasy was recovered once more and it did not feel like the first time but maybe the last time I don't know.

Meanwhile, Lisa Lopes is the punkest rocker on French radio. She's unpretty on the inside and proud of it, man; she'd set a police car on fire on the second date. TLC's "I'm Good at Being Bad" is the only song on their current record that is all hers; "What you gonna do with a bitch like me?" is Left Eye's question no matter who's singing, and it's spelled "here we are now entertain us." From a band that already brought the best Prince song of the decade ("Waterfalls"), this is the song Nirvana would've made if they were still on the scene as mega-mega soul sisters, exploding the problem-solving system of verse/chorus into a raw dialectic of soft/hard and slamming back'n'forth between them like the entire bipolar generation's lithium was in bloom.
On Paris hip-hop radio they started playing "PE 2000," Puffy's cover of "Public Enemy No. 1," the day after he previewed it in New York. Makes you wanna throw your hands in the airnot waving, drowning. In a way there's something sublime about watching his tiny brain churning out its equal signs: "Hey, you hate me now just like you hated Chuck D. Sample criminal, race radicalwhy split hairs? Chuck was all 'rap is the black person's CNN'; I'm all Nick at Nite. Vive la revolution!" But all history comes down to this: when PE re corded the original, they were more or less nobodies, with all the limits and options that implies. Sean Combs is out wearing whites in the Hamptons, and to get there he's sucked enough dick it's hard to imagine he's about to start biting.
The Puffalo Soldier striking a rebel pose with his Schlock 9mm isn't irony quite yet; just levity. And canny at that: tilting your cred against vintage Public Enemy is a sucker's game and Puffy knows it; he's losing the battle to win the war. As long as you think of him as a musical Furbie whose worst crime is maybe slugging some industry type, Puff is a happy camper: better a buffoon than an actual criminal. But time doesn't quite fade away, and those kids from his near-forgotten firetrap rent party are still real dead. Now that's ironic, Alanis.

There are many ways to secure your grounds and buildings, but one of the best and most popular methods is to use CCTV systems. Most people are familiar with CCTV systems; they've been in broad use for many years now. When choosing CCTV systems for your security, though, it is important to choose the best system for your needs .What constitutes good CCTV systems and what different options are available?
Cameras: CCTV systems can be purchased with a number of different types of cameras. There are wired cameras and wireless cameras, for one thing. Wireless cameras offer great benefits for long range, outdoor monitoring. There are weatherproof cameras as well as long range cameras. These are also ideal for outdoor use, such as uncovered parking lots. There are also different range limits on CCTV cameras. Some are good for short distances, while others are made specifically for long range applications.
Recording Technology: Quality CCTV systems also have a host of different recording methods. You can choose to record directly to a VCR, though digital media offers more benefits. Recording to a DVR installed in a computer or a standalone DVR unit is a great way to keep your recordings safe. In addition, copies of specific recording loops can be easily made and stored on a number of different digital mediums. Flash drives, DVDs and hard drives all play a role in this aspect of CCTV systems.
Monitoring Systems: CCTV systems can be configured with several different types of monitoring system. From black and white monitors to full color, high resolution screens. You can choose to have the video streamed to a computer monitor or purchase a bank of dedicated CCTV monitors. Your security needs will dictate the actual setup that you purchase.
Visiting CICAccess.com will give you access to the broadest range of great CCTV systems for your needs.

It's the week we have all been waiting for, finally the eagerly anticipated Kardashian Kollection for Lipsy was revealed to the world!
Its all been a bit hush hush in the office for weeks since the photo shoot took place in Los Angeles with renowned fashion photographer Terry Richardson. When the images were sent over from the states one by one the whole office huddled round one computer shrieking with excitement at the big reveal. Finally seeing the designs modelled by the sisters themselves looking even more fabulous then we expected. Press were super eager to get their hands on the exclusive images, but all were under strict lock down until Tuesday, October 22nd. When the morning of Tuesday 22nd arrived our emails exploded with Kardashian Kollection for Lipsy news alerts. Vogue, Glamour, Grazia and Cosmopolitan online, were just some on the websites that posted the hottest celebrity high street collaboration of the year as their main news story. Then moments later the weekly magazines landed on our desks. As we frantically flicked through the pages it quickly became apparent that the press were just as thrilled as us with the new collection, hailing it as the most exciting high street celebrity collaboration of the year. Be sure to pick up a copy of LOOK, Grazia, OK, Reveal, Heat, Star and Closer to read exclusive interviews with the Kardashians and to check out the Kollection!

The province has banned trapping in Grand Beach Provincial Park, after a dog was killed in the area.
Rob Shura's six-year old rottweiller cross, Pippen, was caught in a trap and died.
Shura was walking his dog on a trail in the park.
Manitoba Conservation said it's now investigating to see if the trap was illegally set.
It's also reviewing trapping in all provincial parks.
Conservation said trapping is allowed in the area, but there are no signs indicating where traps may be set.
For now, the province has banned all trapping at Grand Beach.
Trapping is not allowed at Bird's Hill, Beaudry and Pembina Valley Provincial Parks.

1st Price Features Found In a Fine Tissot Want Watch,
9 '13 Subject: 1st Price Features Found, Viewed by: 8799rolex watches
The tissot wish watch can appropriately be described as a Swiss timepiece with a single of the ideal styles in the globe too as having one particular with the finest functioning engines. Watches with major functioning engines ordinarily have prime functionality. On the other hand, watches with prime styles normally are extremely alluring to determine.
The wish timepiece really has an engine that has been produced with major Swiss chronograph technologies. The efficient mechanisms of this engine tends to make the timepiece to possess unequaled precision and supreme accuracy. Supreme accuracy is required inside a chronograph so that the time may be displayed devoid of any errors. Unequaled precision is needed in order that the timepiece can be a beneficial accessory of estimating time. Watches with unequaled precision can just be known as beneficial chronographs for the correct estimation of time.
It truly is easy to establish the efficiency in the mechanics of a timepiece just by searching in the movement of the second's hand of your watch. Watches with smooth sweeping movements of the second hand undoubtedly have very efficient movements. This chronograph has smooth movements of the second's hand. This chronograph is also water resistant.
It's very vital for the timepiece purchased to have resistance to water. Most watches tend to become resistant to only rain water. It can be enough to get a timepiece to be resistant to rain water as most watches are usually exposed straight to water when it is actually raining and their owners are caught up within the rain. Replica watches tend to be only resistant to rain water. Original watches however are usually resistant to rain as well as swimming pool and ocean water. These watches are best for swimmers and divers who may need to have watches for time maintaining purposes for the duration of swimming and diving. A single should be ready to pay an incredibly higher price tag in case he desires an original timepiece. Replica time pieces alternatively are extremely inexpensive but they generally have the majority of the leading functions of original watches.

Online Buy Dress | Bazaar Find Statement Necklace | Sister's Sunnies
Jampacked today!
A family tradition of ours is to visit the Sto. Nino church a few weeks before Sinulog. Today was that day. I decided to go simple with a modest dress and my sister's dark sunnies. Right after waiting in line and hearing mass, my sister and I took a quick outfit shot.
To contrast my purple dress I added this white statement necklace. And no, I wasn't wearing this while I was at church but I did add this necklace to lunch! Accessories are really the best way to spruce up a look.
Easy and simple. That was it for today.
I can already feel the fiesta vibe at the Sto. Nino church.
Can't wait for Sinulog to come already!

I've breastfed my kids for a combined 53 months, and as you might imagine, I've collected my fair share of nursing gear. So in honor of World Breastfeeding Week, I'm sharing my personal top 5 nursing picks. Hooray boobs!
[Awesome giveaway after the jump!]
Breast Pumps
I've happily used an Ameda pump
(pictured left) for all three (and soon to be four) of my children, and
it's definitely a work horse. But I had the opportunity to try out the Medela Hands Free pump
last year and I have to say, I now understand why moms swoon over it,
you know, as far as swooning over breast pumps go. Either way, these
two pumps will make the milk harvesting (ha) a little easier.
Nursing Tops
I don't think you need a complete wardrobe of nursing shirts, they do make
traveling, pumping at work, and nursing in public a little easier. My
favorite casual pick has to be the Momzelle organic nursing shirt, which is super comfortable and very easy to use.
If you're looking for something fancier, a nursing top from Isabella Olive
is worth the investment. Their designers make fabulous shirts that look
like they're right off the rack at your favorite, swanky local boutique.
Nursing Bras
I've spent most of my breastfeeding moments in Glamourmom Nursing Tanks,
which offer decent support along with great belly coverage and can be
worn alone or layered with other shirts thanks to the awesome colors
and various styles now available.
But if I had to pick a go-to bra, I'd head straight for my stack of Bravado nursing bras (right), which are still comfortable wash after wash, kid after kid.
Nursing Pillow
after breastfeeding three kids, I'm still a huge fan of using a nursing
pillow, if only to save my poor arm and aching back. The Blessed Nest nursing pillow is unlike anything I've ever seen, and that's probably why I'm still using my same one 6 years later.
Breastfeeding Books
truth is that you'll find no shortage of fantastic books out there that
will walk you through the sometimes blissful, sometimes challenging
aspects of breastfeeding. But, nothing will give you a hearty chuckle
like "If these Boobs Could Talk"
– a hilarious book just for breastfeeding moms. Because aside from all
the handy gear and bras that pop open with one hand, one thing that all
moms could use is a good laugh. -Kristen
For more cool breastfeeding picks, check out our archives!
Congratulations to Miranda B, lucky winner of the Ameda Pump!

Christopher Francis Patten, Baron Patten of Barnes, CH, PC (born 12 May 1944) is a British Conservative politician, and a Patron of the Tory Reform Group.
He was a Member of Parliament, eventually rising to a cabinet minister and party chairman. In the latter capacity, he orchestrated the Conservatives' unexpected fourth consecutive electoral victory in 1992, but lost his own seat in the House of Commons.
He then accepted the post of Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Hong Kong, and oversaw its return to China in July 1997. From 2000 to 2004 he served as one of Britain's two members of the European Commission. After leaving that post, he returned to the UK and was elevated to the peerage in 2005. He is the Chancellor of the University of Oxford.
Contents |
Chris Patten was educated at the independent St Benedict's School in Ealing, West London, and at Balliol College, Oxford. He worked in the Conservative Party from 1966, first as desk officer and then director (from 1974 to 1979) of the Conservative Research Department.
Patten was a Member of Parliament from 1979 to 1992, serving as Minister for Overseas Development at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 1986 to 1989.
In 1989 he was appointed to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for the Environment and became responsible for the unpopular Poll Tax. Though he robustly defended the policy at the time, in his 2006 book Not Quite the Diplomat (published in the United States as Cousins and Strangers: America, Britain and Europe in the New Century) he claims to have thought it was a mistake on Margaret Thatcher's part. He also introduced, and steered through Parliament, the major legislation that became the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
In 1990, John Major made Patten Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Chairman of the Conservative Party, with responsibility for organising the coming general election campaign. As party chairman, he was widely considered to be the main architect of the somewhat unexpected Conservative victory in the 1992 election. However, he lost his seat for Bath to the Liberal Democrat candidate, Don Foster, in 1992. Patten's defeat was attributed to several factors: the Poll Tax that he implemented which was especially unpopular in his constituency, and his duties as party chairman that prevented him from much local campaigning.
Had Patten been re-elected in 1992, he might have been rewarded by appointment as Foreign Secretary, although in his autobiography John Major said that he would have made Patten Chancellor of the Exchequer. However, in the three weeks leading up to the election, many party insiders sensed that Patten would lose his seat, and Major was considering a patronage appointment.
In any event, in July 1992, he became the 28th and the last Governor of Hong Kong until its handover to the People's Republic of China on 30 June 1997. He was given an official Chinese name, Pang Ting Hong/Peng Dingkang (Chinese: 彭定康), a name with an etymology based on the words "stability" and "health", before which he was known in Hong Kong as "BRIT" with an imperialist taint. Unlike most previous Hong Kong Governors, he was not a career bureaucrat from the UK Foreign Office but a politician. However, he was not the first former MP to become a Governor of Hong Kong: that was John Bowring (Governor of Hong Kong 1854–1859). Also, John Pope Hennessy (Governor of Hong Kong 1877-1882), was a Conservative MP before he entered Colonial Service.
Patten's tenure faced several different challenges, as many in Hong Kong were still reeling from the Tiananmen Square Massacre a few years earlier, while others were suspicious of whether or not the British would act in their best interest. However the general opinion regarded him positively. He took steps to get in touch with the people of the colony, and was known for his penchant for taking public strolls around Hong Kong as well as in the media limelight. Hong Kong affectionately nicknamed him Fat Pang or Fei Peng (Chinese: 肥彭), making him the only governor to have a Chinese nickname.[2]
Patten's most controversial actions are related to the election of the Hong Kong Legislative Council. Legco members returned in 1995 were originally to serve beyond the handover, thereby providing institutional continuity across the reversion of Hong Kong to the PRC. Beijing had expected that the use of functional constituencies with limited electorates would be used to elect this council, however Patten extended the definition of functional constituencies and thus virtually every Hong Kong subject was able to vote for the so-called indirectly elected members (see Politics of Hong Kong) of the Legislative Council.
Not surprisingly, his measure was strongly criticised by the pro-Beijing political parties of Hong Kong, which would suffer from the electoral changes[citation needed]. Patten was also denounced by the PRC government as the 'whore of the East,' a 'serpent' and a 'criminal who would be condemned for a thousand generations' (Chinese: 千古罪人)[3]. The legislative council which was elected under Patten's governorship was dissolved upon the handover of Hong Kong to the PRC and replaced by a Provisional Legislative Council (Chinese: 臨時立法會) which functioned until elections were held under the previous rules in 1998.
However, Patten's institutional reform gained unprecedented support in Hong Kong and the criticism from the PRC government raised his popularity to a level he had not previously enjoyed in the UK; he was widely seen as standing up for the colony's rights[citation needed]. Not withstanding the electoral controversy, even some of his critics admired his eloquence and praised his efforts to raise the level of debate in the colony. Ending up, the PRC did bow to pressure and after the handover, an increasing portion of seats in the Legco would be directly elected.
At 00:00 HKT 1 July 1997 (16:00 GMT, 30 June 1997), he sent the following telegram:
This marked the end of British rule in Hong Kong and after the handover ceremony he left the city, together with Prince Charles, on board the British royal yacht, HMY Britannia. Patten was noted to be in tears after his speech at the Transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong in 1997.[4]
In 1998, Queen Elizabeth II appointed him a Companion of Honour. From 1998 to 1999, he chaired the Independent Commission on Policing for Northern Ireland, better known as the Patten Commission, which had been established in 1998 as part of the Belfast Agreement. On 9 September 1999, the Commission produced its report, entitled A New Beginning: Policing in Northern Ireland but popularly known as the Patten Report, which contained 175 symbolic and practical recommendations.[5] This report led to the re-naming of the Royal Ulster Constabulary as the Police Service of Northern Ireland. He is the co-chair of International Crisis Group, overseeing many international operations. He is also a member of the Global Leadership Foundation, an organization which works to promote good governance around the world.[6] On 23 May 2005 he was appointed by Cadbury (formerly Cadbury's) as a non-executive director.[7]
In 1999, he was appointed as one of the United Kingdom's two members to the European Commission as Commissioner for External Relations where he was responsible for the Union's development and co-operation programmes, as well as liaison with Javier Solana, the High Representative of the Common Foreign and Security Policy. He held this position within the Prodi Commission from 23 January 2000 until 22 November 2004. Patten oversaw many crises in the area of European foreign policy, most notably the failure of the European Union to come up with a common unified policy before the Iraq war in 2003. Although nominated for the post of President in the next Commission in 2004, he was unable to gain support from France and Germany.
Patten was Chancellor of Newcastle University from 1999 to 2009, and elected Chancellor of the University of Oxford in 2003. In 2005 he was raised to the Peerage as Baron Patten of Barnes, of Barnes in the London Borough of Richmond. In September 2005 he was elected a Distinguished Honorary Fellow of Massey College in the University of Toronto (the only person so elected except for the Chancellor of the University of Cambridge and the University of Edinburgh, the Duke of Edinburgh) as well as receiving an honorary Doctorate of Sacred Letters from the University of Trinity College, Toronto and an honorary Doctorate of Letters from the University of Ulster.[8] In March 2009, Patten received the title Doctor Honoris Causa by South East European University.
Lord Patten of Barnes is married to Lavender, who is a barrister. They have three daughters, Kate, Laura (married to Elton Charles), and Alice Patten (actress); and two Norfolk terriers, Whisky and Soda.
On 29 September 2005, he published his memoirs, Not Quite the Diplomat: Home Truths About World Affairs.
Patten was interviewed about the rise of Thatcherism for the 2006 BBC TV documentary series Tory! Tory! Tory!.

The 19-year-old has been included in the front row by head coach Dean Ryan following a hugely impressive cameo performance against Northampton a fortnight ago and injuries to senior tighthead props Phil Vickery and Gary Powell.
Forster, who hails from Wigan and is currently studying an agricultural degree at Hartpury College, has only two previous Premiership appearances to his name and will form a completely new front row from the one that start at Franklin's Gardens.
Both hooker Mefin Davies and loosehead prop Patrice Collazo return to Gloucester's forward pack, while James Forrester is also re-instated at number eight following a wrist injury.
Jonathan Pendlebury will partner Alex Brown at lock, while Peter Buxton will skipper the side from the blindside position.
But Forster is relishing his chance to further his development tomorrow: "So far, the Premiership has been a great experience for me and I have loved the opportunity," he told www.gloucesterrugby.co.uk.
"It was great to have made an impact at Northampton and now I just want to try and carry that forward. This is a totally new level for me and I am just thrilled to be involved with the first team.
"I want the other players around me to have confidence in me and hopefully I can carry that Northampton form forward."
Head coach Dean Ryan, who is also able to welcome back England duo Mike Tindall and James Simpson-Daniel, added: "We have recognised that Jack is a considerable talent but we have to be careful how we manage that.
"He has handled himself very well and is someone who has a big future in the game. He made a very defined impact against Northampton and that is why he is included tomorrow."
Tindall has shaken off a back problem and Simpson-Daniel has recovered from flu to face Bristol but Peter Richards is ruled out with a dead leg.
It means Haydn Thomas will partner Ludovic Mercier in the half-back position and will make his first start since fracturing his clavicle against Bayonne back in January.
"We have some injuries still knocking around the squad but we all recognise how significant this game is," Ryan added. "Our aim is the top four and we need to try an maximise home advantage."
There are still tickets remaining for tomorrow's encounter and they are available online at www.gloucesterrugby.co.uk from the hotline number on 0871 871 8781 and the ticket office is open from 10am on Saturday.
GLOUCESTER (v Bristol, tomorrow, Kingsholm 3pm): Jon Goodridge; James Bailey, James Simpson-Daniel, Mike Tindall, Mark Foster; Ludovic Mercier, Haydn Thomas, Patrice Collazo, Mefin Davies, Jack Forster, Jonathan Pendlebury, Alex Brown, Peter Buxton (capt), Andy Hazell, James Forrester. Reps: Rob Elloway, Terry Sigley, Adam Eustace, Luke Narraway, Ryan Lamb, Brad Davies, Anthony Allen.

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2235?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13080738#comment-13080738 ] Eli Collins commented on HDFS-2235: ----------------------------------- The bug is that HttpServletRequest#getPathInfo in jetty (and other popular servlet implementations, see [1]) don't consider semicolons and the characters that follow before the query fragment as part of the path for some reason. Eg for "foo;bar?a=b" getPathInfo returns "foo" rather than "foo;bar". One workaround is to use getRequestURI which will return "foo;bar", but unlike getPathInfo the result is not decoded, therefore the parts of the path that need encoding (eg contain spaces) and get encoded when the URI object is created will not get decoded. URL decoding the value getRequestURI returns doesn't work however because it will decode paths that contain reserved URI characters (eg will decode "+" into a space) - the decoding needs to be the same path decoding that eg jetty would perform [2], ie doesn't decode reserved characters. A suggestion from Todd is to encode the path used when creating the URL. Eg URL encode each individual segment of the path when creating the "/data" URL, and then decode each segment when retrieving the path with getPathInfo. 1. http://cdivilly.wordpress.com/2011/04 2. http://jetty.codehaus.org/jetty/jetty-6/xref/org/mortbay/util/URIUtil.html > Hftp doesn't support paths with semicolons > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-2235 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2235 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: name-node > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Reporter: Eli Collins > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > > Hftp does not support paths which contain semicolons.

OSGi is a mess, I'm glad we're not going to use a runtime solution for something best solved at build time such as modularity for Java.
All of you who jumped on the bandwagon and created Palm Pilot apps, how's that skill set working out now?
It was fun and useful for me when I wrote some apps for my own use. Now it's useful to compare palm apps with android and iOS apps and see how things changed or didn't.
I can tell you that Brazilians tend to not give much thought to the government having that information.

text: Bigmac - Unregistered December 08, 2012 10:35 AM How about this Bernie? Instead of constantly ripping out the heart (whats left of it) of F1 by always selling out to the highest bidding countries around the world, regardless of said country having any interest/history of F1, you try and really help some of the old circuits and venues remain on the calender. Of course I realise serious money has to be invested each year just to keep F1 alive, but if you keep taking the sport away from countries that have a genuine fan base, then F1 is gonna be in trouble. It seems that unless a track/venue has financial backing from its countries government, its impossible almost to pay Bernie what he wants, and to make the upgrades needed for modern day F1. 34 agree 5 disagree

All Tomorrow's Parties and Pitchfork Media ... two tastes that will probably taste great together (they'll both co-curate the festival ). The ATP vs. Pitchork festival of 2008 has some solid new bands and some Pitchfork faves like The Hold Steady, Les Savy Fav, and Of Montreal.
All Tomorrow's Parties was started in 1999 by London concert Promoters Barry Hogan and Helen Cottage as a deviation from the corporate festivals of the day. What makes ATP unique is that rather than hiring a music industry person to book the bands, Barry and Helen find a musician, artist, or writer to 'curate' the festival - treating it more like an experience than a business venture.
Curators then create the entire festival programming bands, DJ sets and a television channel. Check out the information below to see which band or artist is curating which show and when they happen.
Past curators have included Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, Mogwai, Tortoise, Shellac and most recently Autechre and Modest Mouse.

Leonard Bernstein
"The use of incense was very common in olden times. It was employed for profane purposes as an antidote to the lassitude caused by very great heat, as perfumes are now used. Mention of its introduction into pagan worship is made by classical writers, but today it has brought people together."

When Christine Johnson and her husband had their goofy Lab mix, Riley, cremated, they wound up with two containers full of ashes. As time passed, Johnson was bothered by the fact that her dog's ashes sat around in what looked like soup cans without labels. She felt that there had to be some more graceful or attractive way for grieving pet owners to preserve their pet's cremains.
Johnson wasn't alone in her desire to properly memorialize her pet. Fortunately, companies across the country, from Tampa, Fla., to Bend, Ore., are working to help pet owners do just that — with art. They are incorporating pet ashes into paintings, pendants, marbles, bowls — even glass tennis balls. These artists want to give pet owners the chance to remember their pets every day, in very public, and yet still personal, ways.
A Portrait of Your Pet
A few years after Riley's death, Christine Johnson started Pet Art Memorial, which incorporates a dog or cat'sashes into an original painting. Her company,based in Prospect Heights, Ill., creates pet portraits or abstract paintings that represent the animal. The artist mixes a small amount of the pet's ashes into one of the darker colors in the painting, which gives the overall work a little more texture.
If you choose a more abstract painting rather than a portrait, the artist will take inspiration from your pet's personality — perhaps bold, sharp lines for a rambunctious pet, or soft, neutral colors for a calmer and more docile animal. Paintings range from $165 for a work that's 4 inches by 4 inches to $1,540 for a 20-by-20 painting.
Let His Groove Live On
Was your pet a rocker? Remember him in song — or at least in vinyl. A United Kingdom-based company called And Vinyly promises to help your departed pet "live on from beyond the groove." The business incorporates a small amount of pet or human ashes into vinyl records. You supply up to 24 minutes of audio for the record, whether it's a favorite song, a reading of a poem or just a recording of your late pet's bark or purr. Cover art is also personalized: Submit your own photograph or cover image, or pay extra for one of two artists — one a street artist and the other from Britain's National Portrait Gallery — to create customized artwork for the album cover. Prices start at £3,000 (approximately $4,800).
Keep Him Close to Your Heart
Memorial jewelry has long been a favorite of families who have lost loved ones, both humans and pets. Chicago-based LifeGem transforms ashes into diamonds with a variety of cuts and colors. The process captures carbon from cremains (or even hair) and turns it into pure graphite to create the diamond. Prices start at $2,490, and color choices include blue, red, green, yellow and colorless.
If diamonds aren't your style (or in your price range), a company in Bend, Ore., creates glass cremation pendants. Artist Mark Hamilton started the business after he buried his big gray tomcat, Leo. The glass artist began to think of ways he could have kept Leo with him physically, and came up with the idea of small pieces built around cremains. Some designs at Psyche Cremation Jewelry are visibly pet-related, like the paw print pendant; others, like the spiral and sunrise designs, are more abstract. Glass cremation marbles cost $97, and pendants start at $67.

Thank you, Mustang, thank you soooo much, for boasting that your Rivalometer Index caused the now-long forgotten Yankee 10-game winning streak. As soon as you jumped onto the bandwagon – no, as soon as you climbed onto the bandwagon, dropped trough and mooned the juju gods — we started losing. Way to go, Al. . . that's right, "Al," as in "Al Batross."
OK, very well, no problem. It was going to end eventually. We have now experienced the limits of the juju surge. We now know what one International Juju Intervention can do — 20-4 — but then. . . WTF? Well, here's TFW: You wake up shivering cold and naked in the gutter, covered in Purina Dog Chow and unable to remember anything except the words "Coronet Blue," (a '70s joke that most of you won't get.) You don't know what happened. You don't know what didn't happen. You were playing unconscious. Now, you're conscious, in fact, keenly aware that each pitch is spinning really fast and – like, WOW, man — you're grokking that everybody in the stands, even the kids, will someday be dead. So you swing like Billy Crystal. And it's all because of Mustang. . . and that Rivalometer of his better not show the blue arrow pointed up. Ask not to whom the Blue Arrow points. It points to thee.
We have now dropped two out of three — at home, in our backyard, in front of our wives and children, in broad daylight, on TV, to a team most remembered for the surreal size of Dale Murphy's facial mole, which needed a zip code. We are staggering, wandering, collapsing — waiting to be no-hitted by R.A. Dickey — hoping to run out the clock on the season — but it's June.
Solstice. Longest day of the year. Not made any shorter by Philip Hughes.
Did we shoot our juju moon too soon?

Regardless, this game was a lot longer when you were sitting in the sun near the right field foul pole slathered with spf 30 in 95 degree heat.
I don't blame Hughes. Every pitcher that did something decent was yanked by Girardi, the Overmanager of the Year once again, with his moronic little tables of stats that cover his ass for every stupid move he makes. But he won a World Series, so we're going to be stuck with him for a long, long, painful time.
Other than that, it was a great visit to the stadium. - June 20, 2012 at 5:49 PM

27 Playable at TGS
With the buzz surrounding the Leipzig Game Convention right now, it's easy to forget that the equally (if not more) important Tokyo Game Show is about a month away. Not only is it important for Sony to make an impressive showing to the press, but the public, as well; TGS traditionally opens its doors to the common man after all the media events and keynotes are taken care of.That's why it's good that Sony has decided to present 27 playable PS3 titles at the convention! Though not a full list, here are some of the game that you'll be able to read hands-on impressions about in late September:
- Devil May Cry 4
- Fatal Inertia
- Blade Storm: Hundred Years War
- Mahjong Taikai
- Coded Arms: Assault
- The Eye of Judgement
- Warhawk
- Gran Turismo-Serie
- Genji
- Everybody's Golf 5
- Formel 1
- Heavenly Sword
- MotorStorm
- Lair
- Resistance Fall of Man
Bandai Namco
- Gundam
- Ridge Racer 7

- Armored Core 4

Given my proximity to the place, I go to Aqueduct almost reflexively on any weekend day on which I have an opportunity to spend at least a couple of hours. But nowadays, I get there, look around at the options, and wonder why I bothered. All of my favorite haunting places from over the years are either gone or negatively altered. The first floor clubhouse is overcrowded and brimming with that old OTB parlor vibe. The room on the second floor in the back off the Man O'War room is now an office for Genting. Seriously, still? What's the deal with that? They can't find any room on their side? Couldn't NYRA extract some improvements in the surrounding areas in exchange? And the Manhattan Terrace on the third floor has been taken over by the dingy and depressing desk cubby things as pictured in this post.
I haven't found a comfortable place to settle, at least without paying $13.99 for a table in the Equestris restaurant, buffet meal included; not a terrible deal I suppose. But best I can find for free thus far is front side of the third floor outside the restaurant. That represents full circle, because it's where we used to hang out in the old days when it was just the third floor clubhouse, before Equestris was built (though with frequent trips to the staircases in the back).
The most frequent question I'm asked on the subject of the Big A these days is why couldn't somebody have done something, even a bare minimum, to try and make the racing side more inviting. And I can't really answer. NYRA has other priorities as we know, and presumably is still waiting for the cash spigot to open (don't know what the timetable of the required payments from slots money is). And Genting? Guess they don't really care despite professing to do so. The only improvements they've contributed thus far on the track side are the ones related to the concession stands that they now run. We're told that they'll be a lavish simulcast facility, but no sign of that yet. Might be better to just play from home until that time.
The second floor of the casino is now open, and there's a passageway open from the track. But you can't actually go in unless you've signed up for some kind of rewards program related to the slots, so not sure why they bothered.....except for the concession stand accessible before you get to the friendly security folks who tell you that you can't come in. It was pretty damn empty up there on the slots floor. So, as I mentioned recently, expect those win per machine numbers to adjust downward rather precipitously.
The local racing sucked again - virtually unplayable - so bet strictly out of town races on Saturday. Two more winners for the Toddster at Gulfstream, giving him four in a row and nine of 18 at the meet going into Sunday (with some solid contenders entered for that day). In the 5th, Unbridled's Ocean ($4) got up with a desperate late rally as Johnny V finally found room after an eventful trip on the inside. Three-year old son of Unbridled's Song is a half to the turf sprint stakes winner West Ocean, and is out of a Belong To Me mare who's a half-sister to Sun King, who's been virtually invisible as a freshman sire this year.
And in the 8th, Pletcher's first-timer Dan and Sheila ($8.40) took money and got the job done for owner Ahmed Zayat after a wide trip. Two-year old is by More Than Ready out of the stakes winning Sheila's Prospect (Not For Love). Thought I was gonna nail a nice exacta with Twin, but he hung after a similarly wide trip, so no luck there. That's the third first-time two-year old winner at the meet for the Toddster, from five starters.

With all your moaning and groaning looks like you should stick to those ridiculous hunch bets. It was nice and calm without those hunch bets crapping up the blog. I'm sure better days are coming Mr. Alan. Have a good holiday without having to visit Aqueduct and getting depressed. But then again if you haven't been to Jamaica then by all means take stroll on the first floor of the Big A and enjoy the atmosphere. Say hello to all the bumba clots.

No I'm not a horse player I am the bathroom attendant on the first floor. I'm the guy that flushes all your tickets down the ugly toilet bowl that you just got up from. hahahahahah

I've tried to play NYRA off & on the last few weeks, and I gotta agree with you, Alan, on the playability of the cards. Yech.
But Cordorosa was pretty impressive in the second on Sunday. Much faster than the allowance that followed.
I guess if it's cold out, you are stuck without anyplace good to go to at AQ, unlike the one lovely afternoon I was able to spend up there right after Thanksgiving.
Playing from home with all the comforts, I'd still rather be at the track if I could. But more important, I'd rather have races worth playing from wherever I am. - 10:52 PM
- Teresa said...
NYRA gets the money daily from Genting; weekend revenue comes in at the beginning of the week. So: based on what I was told, the money started coming in the day the casino opened.
I agree that the removal of the tables in the Manhattan Terrace is just brutal. One of the best spots in the place now just awful. - 6:55 AM
- jk said...
Alan has commented how miserable the slot players appear to be, now it looks like the horse players are miserable as well. I guess the only happy group out there is the horseman.
- El Angelo said...
Okay, I'll ask and risk the ire of Alan and the commentariat: why go to Aqueduct at all? It's as charming as the Port Authority, the racing stinks, and if you need to bet, you can do so from your living room. Unless a horse you own is running, I don't see a reason to go there until Wood Day.
- steve in nc said...
To me, there's just something to seeing the horses, horsepeople, and the races live. Even if it isn't a top race day.
It doesn't have to be a palace to me, but it would be nice if it weren't like a bus terminal, and if you could hear the race call.
NYRA, I hope you're saving those Genting dollars to make the place better by the Gotham, and enticing everyone in the spring with lower takeouts. - 12:23 PM
- Anonymous said...
Don't worry Mr. Hayward will take care of the horseplayer.hehehehe...
- Anonymous said...
The only thing I can say about Aqueduct is that they did a good job with the parking lot. Plenty of space now and they increased the handicap parking big time with no charge for handicap parker's. They were charging for handicap parking and had limited space. This past week they increased the space's plenty and no charge.
But when you go up that escalator to the first floor and beyond its a rat hole that is cold and dingy. The racing quality has been ridiculous with short fields for the most part and the same damn horse's run every other week unless your Dutrow who runs every week or every few days. This is NY racing during the winter and it doesn't appear to change from year's past. So, we live with it or dust it off the calander. Hard to dust it off when your from NY and this is the only live racing we got. - 3:40 PM
- El Angelo said...
Steve, your point is well-taken, but to me, one of the greatest attributes of going to the track is that you're outdoors, it's similar to the appeal of a baseball game. Make it so that you're locked up in a place with the charm of a utility plant, and there's just no appeal.
- Figless said...
No matter how cold I still venture out to watch the post parade and races live, nothing like it, especially in the winter when you can see the horses breath, hear the horses snorting, the crack of the whip, the jockeys yelling, its still a sport to me. Due to the lack of fans you can actually here the race call as well. I know I am in the minority but would always prefer to gamble at the track, when I can.
But then again I will watch a pick up football game in the winter as well. Just me, I guess.
Hopefully the quality of the racing improves a bit with the imminent purse increase, we shall see. - 9:26 PM

"The most frequent question I'm asked on the subject of the Big A these days is why couldn't somebody have done something, even a bare minimum, to try and make the racing side more inviting."
Sadly, this is also true at the other tracks with slots that I have been to. It's quite clear that the casino companies that are taking over the tracks have little interest in spending any money on the racing side. They really don't care about horse racing except as a means to slots and other casino games. - 12:12 AM
- Teresa said...
Anonymous 12:12: The difference at those tracks is that the slots and the racing operators are often the same. At Aqueduct, you've got two different operators sharing the same space. Beyond forking over money to NYRA, Genting has no responsibility -- or right -- to change anything on the racing side without NYRA's permission.

The family of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler met the Prime Minister today and said they were "delighted" that a full, judge-led inquiry will be held into the phone hacking scandal.
Speaking on behalf of her parents Bob and Sally and sister Gemma in Downing Street, the Dowlers' lawyer Mark Lewis said: "The Dowler family are very grateful to the Prime Minister for another excellent meeting.
"At the start of this week the Dowler family wanted to have their voices listened to on behalf of them and on behalf of Milly and on behalf of all the other victims of unlawful activity by the press.
"There will now be a full public inquiry for the public, not a political inquiry for the politicians.
"The Dowlers are delighted that the Prime Minister has announced a full, judge-led inquiry, and they're particularly pleased that politicians for all three parties have liaised and reacted so quickly in response to the outrage of the public in respect not only of Milly but all the victims of such unlawful practices by the press, and failures in the pursuit by the police and failures by the politicians."
The family had already met Labour leader Ed Miliband and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg to discuss phone hacking.
It is alleged that Milly's voicemail was accessed on behalf of the News of the World while she was missing, and that messages were deleted to make room for more recordings. This gave the family false hope that she was still alive.
Today's meeting was arranged by the Hacked Off campaign, which is pushing for tough action on alleged phone hacking.
Responding to the news that News Corporation's bid for BSkyB has been dropped, Mr Lewis said: "This was never a political thing. This shows actually the power of the public to stand up to something, however big an organisation is, however big, however far-reaching, however worldwide, to stand up and say 'something isn't right'.
"And like most scandals, this wasn't about the scandal itself, the malign conduct, it was about the attempts to cover it up. And when people cover up things, they are not fit and proper to run something."
He said they could not have predicted what would happen when it first emerged that Milly's phone was allegedly hacked.
"When the Dowler family first found out about this, when I first met them, no one could have known.
"It's an earth-shattering week for everyone concerned, for the Dowler family to know that actually the politicians and the people and the public would be behind them so much to say 'look enough is enough, this is too much press intrusion, too much power for one organisation and people have to stop and listen'."
Earlier today the Dowlers watched fierce exchanges over phone hacking in the House of Commons, as they sat in the public gallery to see Prime Minister's Question Time.
During the session, Mr Miliband said it was an "insult" to the family that News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks had remained in her job despite the scandal.
She was editor of the News of the World when Milly went missing in 2002.
Mr Cameron announced today that Lord Justice Leveson will lead a phone hacking inquiry that will have the power to make witnesses give evidence under oath.
Mr Lewis was joined at Number 10 by Martin Moore and Brian Cathcart from the Media Standards Trust (MST), which is running the Hacked Off campaign.
Campaign supporters Evan Harris and former senior police officer Brian Paddick also attended.
Prof Cathcart said campaign members would do all they could to make sure all aspects of the probe into hacking are made public.
Hacked Off supporters sought reassurance from the Prime Minister that the investigation would get to the bottom of whether politicians were involved in any alleged "cover up" of what had happened.
Former senior Met police officer Mr Paddick said Mr Cameron had agreed that the probe would not be limited to News International, and would cover any police force accused of failing to investigate hacking.
Downing Street said that Mr Cameron's meeting with the Dowler family was "constructive".
Mr Cameron's official spokesman said: "The Prime Minister has been keen throughout to underline the fact that we should be focused on the victims.
"This was an opportunity for him to hear first-hand from that family what they have been through."

I wonder how many people are going to buy this film because of the demo..
Personally I´m kinda guilty of the same thing: Bought Code Veronica on PS2 to get the DMC demo aaand FFVI on PSone to get the FFX demo. Can´t say it was worth it. Especially Code Veronica.
What an bizarre cross promotion? I mean I know things like this aren't all that uncommon but it's still always weird to me when they slap two dissimilar franchises together like this.
Surely they should have made a kick-ass total recall game by this point.
For a second I thought you were referring to the old Total Recall and got excited.
Hold on not the old Total Recall?

A 12-year-old girl who died of viral fever did not have Ebola, blood tests have revealed.
"We would like to allay fears that the Ebola virus has been detected," said minister Sherry Ayittey.
More than 90 people have died of Ebola in Guinea and Liberia and there is a reported case in Mali. Medical charity Medicins Sans Frontieres has warned of an unprecedented epidemic in an impoverished region with weak health services.
Samples from the girl were taken from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, Ghana's second-largest city, to a medical research centre in the capital Accra, Dennis Laryea, head of public health at the teaching hospital, told Reuters.
The outbreak in Guinea is the first time the disease, epidemics of which occur regularly in Central Africa, has appeared in the country. Infected patients initially went undiagnosed for several weeks before tests confirmed Ebola.
On Friday, an angry crowd attacked an Ebola treatment centre in Guinea, accusing MSF staff of bringing the disease to the town.
