The first day in Test cricket for Ireland's men fell foul of some thoroughly Irish weather as play at Malahide was abandoned without a single ball being bowled. After several inspections, umpires Nigel Llong and Richard Illingworth eventually called things off shortly after 3pm: Ireland thus achieved the dubious distinction of becoming the first team to have the opening day of their maiden Test washed out.
The anticipation in north Dublin quickly gave way to the realities of the game in this part of the world in May, with rain throughout the day meaning the covers barely had a chance to be removed. A poor forecast was fully realised - hail fell at one point - but blue skies reappeared later in the afternoon and the outlook is better from day two onwards.
It is understood that Cricket Ireland have spent Euro 1m to stage the country's first men's Test. Ticket-holders were due to receive a 100% refund - around 5000 of the 6300 capacity had been pre-sold - and, alongside the hit to food and drink sales, the washout is likely to come at a significant financial cost for Ireland, even accounting for insurance payouts.
The miserable conditions did not allow time for a toss, with those in the ground retreating to covered marquees for an early opportunity to sample the Guinness while the players were left to kick their heels, some venturing out to speak to the fans. The abandonment meant Pakistan have now lost three full days out of nine to bad weather since arriving in England for the start of their tour (play was only possible on two days of their warm-up match in Canterbury).
As puddles formed on the outfield, it became clear that Ireland's big moment would be delayed and, after the issues with drainage that ruined an ODI against West Indies in Belfast last summer, they will be praying the rain does not upstage them any further over the coming days.

I am continuing my review this company (TSX-CMG) today as I just received its annual statement for March 2009. This is also dividend paying small cap and it is one that I owned. It is a small cap and one tied to the oil and gas industry. The Globe Investor gives it a 5 star rating, but it is also in a class of its own in the type of software it provides. This would be a risky stock. That said, there is not a lot of analyst following it, but the ones that are rate this stock highly.
When I looked at the Insider Buying and Selling report, I find there is more selling than buying, especially, by the CEO. However, this recent selling does not substantially change the amount insiders have of this stock. People sell for lots of reasons, so this does not tell us anything.
When I look at spreadsheet ratios, I find that the P/E is around 15.7 and this is higher than the 5 year average on close of 14.7. However, the yield at 5% is higher than the 5 year average of 2.9%. When you look at the Price to Book Value, the current P/BV is 8.9 compared to a 5 year average of 5.2. When we look at the Price to Cash Flow, we find that the P/CF at March 2009 was 8.8 to a 5 year average of 13. However, the Dividend and Cash Flow and Stock Price are growing much quicker than the Book Value.
The other think to look at is the Graham Price. Here the Stock Price is much higher than the Graham Price. In fact, the difference is higher than it has ever been. There could be a problem with the current Graham Price as it is partly based on estimates of what the earnings are going to be. This stock tends to have better earnings than expected. So, we are getting mixed messages from these.
If you look at the charts, this stock has done, at any time period, much better than the TSX Index or the TSX Industrials Index. This is because this is a fast growing small cap. The company seems to certainly have faith that this stock will do well in earnings this year as they raised their dividends, plus threw in a special dividend.
When I look at ratings on this stock, I could only find two. One was a Buy and one was a Strong Buy. (See my site for information on analyst ratings.) I also found some favorable analysis of this stock. I did not find any negative comments. However, I would like again to point out that there are few reports on this stock and few analysts following it.
It is a computer software technology and consulting firm engaged in the development and sale software. They have 250 Clients in 45 countries. Their reservoir simulation software assists petroleum companies to extract an increased amount of oil and gas from their reservoirs. Its web site is www.cmgl.ca.

When asked if humans are the primary drivers behind global warming, nine out of ten kids responded: "Duh!"
The first-ever national poll of children about climate change, the results stand in stark contrast to the nine out of ten Republican senators who in January voted against an amendment which acknowledged that the crisis is man-made.
"Nine out of ten kids across America know that catastrophic climate change is impacting the air they breathe, the food they eat and the future they will inherit. And they know this is a crisis we're causing and can do something about it," said Terra Lawson-Remer, campaign director at global advocacy group Avaaz, which conducted the survey along with Ipsos.
"On the other hand," Lawson-Remer continued, nine out of ten Republican senators "are not only failing science class, they are failing our children."
Hoping to teach their lawmakers a thing or two about planetary science, six teenagers are going to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to visit with a dozen climate-denying senators including Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
"Scientists have noticed that this was a problem for a really long time, like, maybe 20 years ago? Longer than I've been alive," 16-year-old Nadia Sheppard told the New Republic.
And Bailey Recktenwald, 17, of Durham, N.C. agreed, adding: "As we release fossil fuels that have been trapped under our earth for millions and millions of years, we're going to warm the planet, and that's just from a 6th grade science level. It baffles me that these senators can't grasp that."
In January, the GOP-led Senate voted on a series of climate change amendments which addressed climate change. The most strongly worded, introduced by Hawai'i Democrat Brian Schatz, stated that climate change is real and that human activity—such as burning coal and oil—significantly contributes to it. Only five Republicans—Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), and Susan Collins (Maine)—joined all 45 Democrats in backing the measure.
"When our world's top scientists at NASA release information stating that humans are impacting the climate, I tend to believe them more," said Jack Levy, an 18-year-old student from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Avaaz along with AJ+, part of the Al Jazeera news network, will be documenting the teenagers' visit to Capitol Hill and produced this video on their mission.

文/Gale Williams
【譯按:大衛與蓋兒夫婦(David and Gale Williams)原來是在美國服事國際學生的老師。在蓋兒之前,大衛曾經有過一位妻子,卻在服事黎巴嫩難民時受誤傷而死亡;大衛帶著新生的嬰兒以利亞(Elija)回到北美遇見蓋兒,婚後大衛仍經常回到黎巴嫩從事短期教育與社會關懷工作。最近,以利亞已經長大進入大學就讀,大衛與蓋兒也發現在若能具備英語教師的能力與資格,將能大大擴展工作的格局,因此蓋兒於2006年開始英語教學的碩士班學程。】
Last summer, when the July (2006) War broke out in Lebanon between Hezbollah and Israel, we knew God was knocking on the door of our house in Moscow, Idaho. We had served in that exact region and immediately entered into a role of constant communication and support for the group of Lebanese taking refuge in the basement of the church and the stream of people moving through the church on their way to safety out of the region. Just as immediately, we knew David should return as soon as possible to help with relief and proclamation of the Good News of redemption.
I had registered to begin a Masters program in teaching English as a second language. We prayed and decided I should stay and study and continue in our ministry with international students on the University of Idaho campus and in our home. David left for Lebanon as soon as the airport in Beirut was open. We didn't know what the situation would be like or what God's plan would be for him there.
Now it is nearly one year later. David and I speak with each other through Skype and email and have seen each other whenever possible. I will soon enter my second year of the masters program in the States, having just arrived back from being with David in Lebanon most of the summer. It is clear God is doing something new there, and that we are called to be a part of it.
We know that God uses everything for good for those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose (Rom 8:28). What is God's purpose for our relationship in this time of separation? Scripture speaks of going without food while seeking God (Acts 13:2, 3), and speaks of husband and wife going without sexual relations for an agreed upon period of prayer (1 Corinthians 7:5). Being separated has been like fasting, experiencing again what it is to be spiritually hungry and spiritually satisfied. It has pushed me closer to Jesus, my first love. Both David and I are involved in intense activities. Because the other is not physically present, we have become more deeply dependent on God. Of course there are temptations in being geographically separated. During a period of fasting we set aside the daily requirements of food preparation and consumption. In being separated, David and I set aside the daily requirements of maintaining our relationship. I simply have more time, which I can use for God's purposes or for my own. This summer when I was reunited with David, I recognized that I had slipped into the mindset of doing things independently and in my own way, and it was an adjustment to 'be devoted to one another in love and prefer one another in honor' (Romans 12:10). For me, the biggest temptation is to become independent of my spouse and self centered.
David and I constantly evaluate our long distance romance.
"Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you…" 1 Corinthians 7:5
I am ready at any time to leave the academic program I am in if it seems right for our marriage or our ministry. Marriage is death to self for the sake of the other, and one of the dangers of being separated is independence. Under the tutelage of God's discipline, the blessing of being separated for a season is dependence on God and renewed appreciation of the gifts and support each of us brings to our marriage.

Sampson excerpt from awaydays:
"Where's my life gone? Where's it going? Looking across the grassy marshland to Flint and up the coast to Point Of Air, I start to wonder what all those poor fuckers in Wales are doing with their lives. Screwing? Sleeping in? Debating whether to take breakfast in bed to their broken fathers? Unlikely. They're probably doing what the gilded folk of Hollywood are doing, or Kowloon or Port Elizabeth. Worrying. Worrying about getting old, or about work, or about money, or about their boyfriend, mistress, lover, house, health, future. Life is shit. There is no fucking point to any of it. Not now that we've evolved past the survival stage. Maybe we used to live to hunt to kill to eat to live another day. Now we just kill time in as many sophisticated ways as possible. Pointless jobs. Pointless lives. Work. Television. Football.

Happiness is when you share dat love wit one another
Happiness is when you together
You got to
They can get no time to press
Because of all the distress that the society leads
What I'm a longing for is some happiness
~ From Happiness by Black Uhuru
A quick Google search of the keyword 'happiness' shows an estimated 316 Million search results in just over half a second. It's safe to venture that happiness is something most people are "a longing for."
Happiness is a fascinating subject because in some ways, it's about as broad and vague as the word 'success.' Culture, background, experiences, individual values all play a role in painting what we each view as Happiness.
I'm a firm believer that though we may have similar experiences, we can only really relate through feeling. Jill could be happy by being a dutiful daughter whereas Jack feels happy when he is a contributing member of society. Studies have shown that the energy and wavelengths in the brain when we experience such feelings, regardless of what causes them, have great similarity.
As much as I'm into spirituality and consciousness, I have also to some degree been a skeptic throughout my Life. Allowing myself to be all things, feel the assortment of feelings, helps me to see the bigger picture. The more I learn and the further I grow, the more the picture evolves.
I find comfort in looking at different studies because they validate hypotheses and intuition. Yet, the folly in information seeking solely to know, has often left me feeling a bit empty, and at times very unhappy.
Occupying the moment fully requires balance in both Flesh and Spirit. There can be no other way. I've not yet achieved that balance but in having a vision, I experience more and more happiness because I can look back at all the dark corridors which I have passed through and see how it contributes to this unfolding Journey.
I don't have all the answers for you. You don't have all the answers for me. Answers create more questions and quite frankly, the only answer that really matters is to…
Just be.
It's a simple statement with a vast amount of meaning but I challenge anyone who reads these words to think about them when in the midst of different experiences. I have a feeling that in just being, clues on happiness will find you.
Seek and ye shall find…

During my trip out to Sisters I *might* have spent a little bit of $$ on fabric. One of the first fabric stores we stopped at I saw this fabric line, <i>Collections for a Cause - Hope by Howard Marcus for Moda</i>. I can't remember ever seeing a fabric line that screamed my Mother quite so much. I thought I'd pick up at least a charm pack to make her something small like a table runner with a little extra to finish up the project. I tried to wing the pattern design in my head and so far managed to buy just the right amount of everything. I might even have enough left over to make her a tote bag with the scraps.
I'm enjoying working with fabric that's a bit out of my norm. Also I showed the fabric to my Mom and predictably, she LURVED it.

Santa Clara, Calif.-based Fatbrain.com said it added more than 50,000 new customers during the third quarter, bringing its total customer base to 188,000.
Online customer accounts increased 36.2 percent sequentially, and repeat customer orders represented more than 58.2 percent of orders placed, the company said.
The company added that a highlight during the quarter included news that Vulcan Ventures, the investment arm of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, would invest an additional $20 million in the company.
Highland Capital Partners said it will invest $10 million.
Fatbrain is using the funding to develop its electronic commerce efforts, including EMatter, a system for publishing documents and books on the Internet.
"The past quarter marked a pivotal point in our strategic evolution with the launch of EMatter, the Internet's first secure digital publishing platform, " stated Chris MacAskill, chief executive officer, in a statement.

Hi, my name is Mwaura. In the blogosphere, I'll go by the pseudonym "MwauraMswati". I use Mswati figuratively. I look at the King of Swaziland as charming. I mean, look at the bevy of beauties that throng ceremonies where they are expected to expose their bosoms for a chance to be chosen as queens. "Queenship" comes with perks. Mwaura Mswati is a word charmer. I cajole words from my brain and write them down. I have never really talked about myself without having to toot my own horn thus boring people. I will keep this as short as I can.
I am always fascinated by solitude. I am more of a LONER and less of a RECLUSE. I fall somewhere in between.
I hold silent conversations in my head. This is when I get to observe, listen and learn. I then share the musings here as stories about people, life and inspiration.
My sitting in silence midwifed the birth of this blog.Here, you will find socially conscious stories.Words captured in silence can never be misquoted.

Zee Media Bureau
New Delhi: The inclusion of a poem written by an al Qaeda ideologue in its literature syllabus by Calicut University has kicked up a huge controversy in Kerala.
`Ode to the Sea` is one of the 'literary' works of Ibrahim al-Rubaish, a key member of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
Rubaish wrote the poem on a wall of his cell in Guantanamo Bay prison, where he spent five years after he was captured near the Pakistan-Afghan border in 2001.
The poem was a part of an anthology featuring works by noted poets such as Pablo Neruda, Sylvia Plath and Kamala Das.
The poem describes the 33-year-old Saudi Arabian`s feelings during his five-year imprisonment in the Guantanamo Bay prison.
Al-Rubaish is described in 'about the author' section of the book as follows: ''Ibrahim Sulayman Muhammad Arbaysh alias Ibrahim al-Rubaish is a Saudi citizen who was held in detention in the Guantanamo camp. In December 2006, Rubaish and a number of other Saudis were released from Guantanamo and sent to Saudi Arabia.''
The issue has stirred a hornet's nest with voices demanding that the poem prescribed for the third semester text 'Literature and Contemporary Issues' be immediately removed.
First published in 2006 by Amnesty International in the anthology "Poems from Guantanamo: The Detainees Speak", the poem`s inclusion in the university`s syllabus is being opposed owing to the author's links with terror outfits.
Ibrahim al-Rubaish is believed to have played a significant role in the emergence of al Qaeda`s offshoot in Yemen. He is a theological adviser to the group and his writings and sermons have found prominent place in group`s literature.
In December 2006, he was released with many others and sent to a Saudi rehabilitation programme from where he disappeared.
Later, his name was added in `85 Most Wanted` list released by Saudi authorities.
The Poem
Ibrahim al-Rubaish
Ode To The Sea
O sea, give me news of my loved ones.
Were it not for the chains of the faithless, I would have dived into you,
And reached my beloved family, or perished in your arms.
Your beaches are sadness, captivity, pain, and injustice.
Your bitterness eats away at my patience.
Your calm is like death, your sweeping waves are strange.
The silence that rises up from you holds treachery in its fold.
Your stillness will kill the captain if it persists,
And the navigator will drown in your waves.
Gentle, deaf, mute, ignoring, angrily storming,
You carry graves.
If the wind enrages you, your injustice is obvious.
If the wind silences you, there is just the ebb and flow.
O sea, do our chains offend you?
It is only under compulsion that we daily come and go.
Do you know our sins?
Do you understand we were cast into this gloom?
O sea, you taunt us in our captivity.
You have colluded with our enemies and you cruelly guard us.
Don`t the rocks tell you of the crimes committed in their midst?
Doesn`t Cuba, the vanquished, translate its stories for you?
You have been beside us for three years, and what have you gained?
Boats of poetry on the sea; a buried flame in a burning heart.
The poet`s words are the font of our power;
His verse is the salve for our pained hearts.

Boris Johnson falls into river.
The best bit about this video is the guy that says "classic"
its no
but i'll let you have it
bit misleading that thread title
I was hoping for a proper tumble down a bank into a dirty trolley strewn river but annoyingly he was already in the water and then just took a slight fall
"Thank you!"
"Don't let that ruin the story, please"
It's the comments off camera that make it for sure.
I was expecting to see him teeter on the edge of a river
for an gravity-defying period of time, flapping his arms wildly and going "woooah-oh-ohhhh" before falling into a river and ruining his suit.


text: Hi, I'm not sure if this is the appropiate group... I was reading a tutorial on Twelve Tone Systems' web site about configuring "Control Surfaces". I own a Roland XP-10 synth which has a specific button (SEQ Start/Stop), which sends the following information (obtained with oBd Software's Midi Monitor) when pressed sequentially: "FA 00 00" (Start) "FC 00 00" (Stop) The question goes like this: How to congifure these two messages to "Play" and "Stop" the sequencer in Sonar XL? PS. I've loosely experimented with the "Learn"-button without any success. Sonar's midi monitor in the system tray recognizes these two events. regards, Pekka

Too Little, Too Late?
|Talks resume in NY transit strike
Wikipedia has some good info on the strike, such as the union demands:
The TWU is asking for all employees to receive an 8% salary increase per year for each of the 3 years of the contract, plus improved benefits for maternity leave, and better funding for station maintenance. The MTA has offered a 3% raise the first year, a 4% raise the second year, and a 3.5% raise the third year. The striking workers reportedly earn an average of about 48,000 USD annually.
Now the same site also states that the average salary for a bus or subway operator is $63,000/year! The average salary for a cleaner is $40,000!
Now think about this from an economic standpoint. How many have invested in alternative means of transportation? Will they dump their investment just to go back to riding the train? Also consider the effect on businesses that will now have to lay off or close their doors due to lost revenue, perhaps causing people to get jobs closer to work, or relocate from he city altogether.
This union really pissed some poeple off. I wouldn't be suprised if we see a bigger movement to change the union laws. Which brings up another point:
According to the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, from 1993-2003 the percentage change in non-farm private sector employees was 17.7% growth overall. The change in Right to Work States was 24.1% growth, while the change in "union shop" States was 14.2% growth.True that the article above also states there may be other factors, but this seems to be a pretty clear trend here.
The talking heads already say that MTA will withdraw its last-minute demands, and the union will effectively win. Time will tell what kind of long-term impact on the economy of New York.

Chapter 4: Being Bambi
(The Hockey Bag series was previously published on NHL.com)
So I got new skates. In fact, I got new everything (thanks Easton!) in preparation for my inaugural hockey season – pants, shoulder pads, elbow pads, shin pads, and gloves. Even a nice new hockey bag to put it all in, with wheels on one end so I can roll it around.
It's all top-of-the-line Easton gear that will presumably help me become a good hockey player. But until that happens, at least I'll look like one. After all, perception is 9/10ths of the law. Or maybe that's possession…
Either way, I now possess brand new hockey gear, and the perception is out there that I know what I'm doing. At least that was the perception before my latest powerskating class.
My new skates are called Easton Stealth – a name which conjures up the image of something moving fast. At least in my mind. And I did sort of used to move fast. At least in my mind.
But now that I have new skates on my feet, I'm pretty much feeling like Bambi-on-ice. And looking about as graceful as Bambi-on-ice, too. Not only in my mind, but also in plain sight of all the parents who come to watch their children skate in the Dragon Lady's Dynamic Power class.
Surely they must be wondering, who is that big kid at the end of the line? Poor kid, can barely keep up… And then when they get a closer look, they realize that I'm not a kid. In fact, I'm as old as most of them are. At which point they must go, wow, that must take guts to go out there and skate like that. Poor lady, can barely keep up…
During the hour-long session, surely they laugh amongst themselves. Of course I can't be certain because as soon as we start skating the sweat starts running into my eyes and blurring my contact lenses. So what I can't see generally doesn't hurt me. Except, of course, when I fall over it.
Regardless, I find myself laughing most of the time, too. Only because swearing wouldn't set a very good example for my young skate-mates. And crying, well, that would blur my vision even more. So instead, laughter really is the best (and only) medicine.
Which means, when I fall trying to perform a simple pivot from forwards-to-backwards, I laugh. When my new blades stutter uncontrollably when trying to stop, I have to laugh. When I fumble in trying to pick up a hockey stick lying on the blue line with hockey-gloved hands while in motion, I just gotta laugh. (Okay, THAT is HARDER than you'd think!) When I find myself ALWAYS finishing last in EVERY single drill, I can't help but laugh.
Even when my feet start to ache from trying to break in brand new skates during one intensive hour of power, the laughter continues. Despite the throbbing pain and stubborn pride while shamelessly trying to keep up with the pack, I find solace in knowing these new skates and better-fitting equipment will eventually make me a better skater. And better hockey player.
So for now, being Bambi it is.
Until that glorious day when Bambi is banished from the ice forever, and RoseAnna the Dynamic Power dynamo will be able to beat at least one kid in her class. Maybe even one of the big ones.
Yes, one day I will proudly live up to the name of my new Stealth skates. But until that happens, at the very least, I feel safe and secure in my new hockey gear. Not to mention extremely well protected.
Not only from the falls, but also from the laughter.

We had left over curriculum books from last year that I had in a pile to donate. Dominic was milling through the stack when he found an old "Test Ready" book that we used for testing at each semester.
"Mom, Can I please have this?" Sure. You go right ahead and do that.
Later that evening, we were heading out to dinner. The kids were already in the car and I was inside wrapping a few things up. Dominic came back in saying, "I want to bring my testing book so I can work on it while we wait for food." Sure. You go right ahead and do that.
The fun continued all week. How little he knows how much we enjoy watching the innocence of his youth! I know he is 9 years old, but he still does such innocent incidents as these. It makes me feel like he isn't growing up "so" fast.
I was also sorting through our coloring books and throwing out those that were full. He approached me quickly saying, "Please don't throw out my Test Ready book."
Again, in the evening while watching his new favorite, Tim Tebow, play football. I love that he brought the test book out while watching his favorite football player. Two loves. Thank you for the joy you bring to our lives through your joy of filling out testing booklets.

Thousands of Catholics and devotees marched in the Eucharistic procession in Patna on Nov. 26 that marked the feast of Christ the King.
Led by Patna Archbishop William D'Souza, many city churches participated under the banner, 'As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord'.
Churches at Patna City, Bankipur, Phulwarisharif, Pataliputra Colony, Kurji, Raja Bazar, Danapur, Khagaul and Maner, were all part of the procession.
"We wait for the annual procession eagerly as it gives us a chance to profess our faith. It is the Advent season and marks the preparation of Christmas," said Fr Johnson Kelakath S.J., parish priest of Kurji church.
"The feast commemorates the reign of Christ as king of the world," he added, according to TOI.
The participants said the prayers and sang hymns and read Bible verses during the procession.
The procession is carried out every year on a Sunday before the beginning of the Advent season.

All pets admitted to the hospital, for whatever reason, must be current on their immunizations, in accordance with our Chief of Staff's policy requirements. Canines must be current on their DHLP-Parvo-Corona (valid for one year), Rabies (first vaccination valid for one year and then three years on each subsequent vaccination, or as provided by other applicable state law), and Bordetella (kennel cough - valid for six months or one year, as indicated).

Forex trading has really gained popularity over the last few years among online traders both new and experienced. Candlestick trading the forex market is quickly becoming the method of choice for traders of all experience levels for a variety of good reasons. While automated trading systems have enjoyed a high level of popularity over the last few years, traders quickly find out they don't understand the systems and how they operate. Some don't seem to work at all or only under certain market conditions that the forex trader doesn't understand. For the forex trader who understands candlestick trading, new profit potential immediately opens itself up. I have been working with InstaForex about a year and I can say only good things about this broker that proved to be reliable. Most of all I like that, despite my poor English it is very easy to talk to the employees of technical support, as they always maintain respectful communication. InstaForex is an open company that provides the comprehensive information to everyone: you can simply visit the official website. Also you can find a lot of educational materials on the site as, for example, video lessons on working with the terminal. I am a gambler and that is why I like InstaForex contests very much as I can win a monetary reward.
Do these deals sound too good to be true? Unfortunately, they are, and investors need to be on guard against these scams. They may look like a new sophisticated form of investment opportunity, but in reality they are the same old trap�financial fraud in fancy garb.
As the Forex is working round the clock, it is impossible for humans to look after the investor's money. It is for this reason why Forex robots are made, they are nothing but software programs employed in the market to make the investor taste the profit. Forex robots manage the investor's accounts and act as a money managers.
Philip Augar is a former investment banker and the author of several books on the City. A pioneer in developing forex as a consumer product, easy-forex continues to lead with customized technology and personal service tailored to all levels of traders. I was able to appreciate the convenience of the available services and opportunities. I am going to deal definitely with InstaForex.
The Forex market is different though, by actively engaging in online trading using broker platforms you can buy and sell currencies for huge profits. This is because you trade with a 'leverage' so that even a small amount of money can quickly become a huge amount if you make the right trade.

Shunyata Venom Defender
Not sure which of the more expensive power conditioning systems I should buy, I decided to try the Venom Defender and see what an entry-level device can do. Holy smoke this thing is incredible. This is easily the best $195 I have ever spent on my system. I am buying more just in case they burn out in a power event. Don't take my word for it, try one from a retailer that offers a money back trial period. Frankly, if you don't have any power conditioning equipment now you should give this thing a chance.

Hide Forgot
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Opera/7.10 (Linux 2.4.21-xfs i686; U) [en]
Description of problem:
RH 9 deleted these lines from kernel.spec
# allow --with[out] <feature|kernel> at rpm command line build
# e.g. --with smp --without smp --without BOOT --without bigmem --with ibcs
# --with overrides --without
%{?_without_up: %{expand: %%define buildup 0}}
%{?_without_smp: %{expand: %%define buildsmp 0}}
%{?_without_BOOT: %{expand: %%define buildBOOT 0}}
so rpmbuild ignores --with/--without on the command line when building
the kernel.
The lines were in RH 8 (kernel-2.4.18-14.src.rpm), they are also
missing from the latest RH 7, 8 and 9 errata kernel.spec files
There is nothing in the changelog about removing this facility and the
kernel.spec comments still say that --with/--without can be used.
On the same subject, what do these lines do? Nothing seems to test
the defined macros.
# we can't test values inline, only whether a macro exists
%{expand: %%define buildup_%{buildup} yadda}
%{expand: %%define buildsmp_%{buildsmp} yadda}
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpmbuild -ba --without smp kernel-2.4.spec
Actual Results: --without smp ignored on rh 9 and recent rh [78] errata
Expected Results: Build without any of the SMP kernels.
Additional info:
*** Bug 99497 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
We removed the --with/out bits because they were too little value for
the amount of verbage that got in the way near the top of the spec file.
Also, it was easily possible to specify nonsensical combinations, and
the feature definitions weren't necessarily kept up, which lead to more
bug reports.
Instead, just edit the appropriate define in the spec file, exchanging
0's and 1's as appropriate.
All the leftover cruft you notice is gone in our current source tree.
So part of this is "NOTABUG", another is "RAWHIDE"; I'll close RAWHIDE
as the best alternative.

If you think that you can judge by examining someone's facial expressions if they are possibly likely to do something unsafe -- think again. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and at New York University and Princeton University have discovered that -- despite what leading theoretical models and conventional wisdom might indicate -- it just doesn't work that way.
Rather, they found that body language provides a better cue in trying to judge whether an observed subject is potentially at risk.
In a study published this week in the journal Science, the researchers present data showing that viewers in test groups were baffled when shown photographs of people who were undergoing real-life, highly intense positive and negative experiences. When the viewers were asked to judge the emotional valences of the faces they were shown (that is, the positivity or negativity of the faces), their guesses fell within the realm of chance.
In setting out to test the perception of highly intense faces, the researchers presented test groups with photos of dozens of highly intense facial expressions in a variety of real-life emotional situations. For example, in one study they compared emotional expressions of professional tennis players winning or losing a point. These pictures are ideal because the stakes in such games are extremely high from an economic and prestige perspective.
To pinpoint how people recognize such images, the researchers showed different versions of the pictures to three groups of participants: 1) the full picture with the face and body; 2) the body with the face removed; and 3) the face with the body removed. Remarkably, participants could easily tell apart the losers from winners when they rated the full picture or the body alone, but they were at chance level when rating the face alone.
Ironically, the participants who viewed the full image (face and body) were convinced that it was the face that revealed the emotional impact, not the body. The authors named this effect "illusory valence," reflecting the fact that participants said they saw clear valence (that is, either positive or negative emotion) in what was objectively a non-diagnostic face.
In an additional study, the researchers asked viewers to examine a more broad range of real-life intense faces. These included intense positive situations, such as joy (seeing one's house after a lavish makeover), pleasure (experiencing an orgasm), and victory (winning a critical tennis point), as well as negative situations, such as grief (reacting at a funeral), pain (undergoing a nipple/naval piercing), and defeat (losing a critical tennis point).
Again, viewers were unable to tell apart the faces occurring in positive vs. negative situations. To further demonstrate how ambiguous these intense faces are, the researchers "planted" faces on bodies expressing positive or negative emotion. Sure enough, the emotional valence of the same face on different bodies was determined by the body, flipping from positive to negative depending on the body with which they appeared.
"These results show that when emotions become extremely intense, the difference between positive and negative facial expression blurs. "The findings, challenge classic behavioral models in neuroscience, social psychology and economics, in which the distinct poles of positive and negative valence do not converge."

So I had something else in mind for today. I had been wanting to do it for a while. And I started it last night. But the problem is my sleep schedule has been getting rather normal. Horrible I know. So while I was waiting for the polish to dry I flat out fell asleep. And long story short today I dont have it in me to do nail art. But don't worry I still have this! It's either the best or the worst Valentines Day mani.
It's either the worst because it's just a swatch. 3 coats of OPI's My Boyfriend scales walls. A white polish with gray undertones. Who's formula was ok.
Or it's the best. Because while the manicure may be plain, what it actually represents is the purity that is love. Or some mushy bs like that :)

Plans for a new stop on the Luton-Dunstable Busway could soon come to fruition.
In April, the Gazette revealed that Jeans Way, Dunstable, was in line for a new stop – despite the location being ditched from original busway proposals.
Following the story, we received a number of phone calls and messages in support of the idea and now residents will be able to have their say as Central Beds Council has announced that it will open a consultation.
This week 400 homes in the Jeans Way area will receive a letter explaining the plans and asking for feedback.
After the letters have been sent, members of the council's travel choices team will visit the area to encourage residents to participate in the consultation.
A public meeting will also be held at the Bedfordshire FA, Skimpot Road,on June 26 at 7pm to allow the council to gauge the level of support for the proposal.
Cllr Tony Brown, deputy member for community services, said: "I would encourage as many local residents as possible to fill in their forms and have their say.
"Central Bedfordshire Council want to make an informed decision and the opinion of local residents is very important.
"The only way we can get this right is to ask the people who matter what they think."
If sufficient support is shown the busway stop would be sited to the rear of properties on Jeans Way, adjacent to the footpath leading to Blows Downs.
Plans for additional stops on Townsend Farm Road, Houghton Regis, and Chaul End Lane, Luton, are also being considered.
Arriva has signalled its support for the proposals, though Grant Palmer told the Gazette that his firm would only welcome new stops if there is enough customer demand.
He said: "My only concern is that busway is a quick way into town and the more stops put in the slower it will be, we have got to be mindful of that."
Luton Borough Council's commercial arm, LTS Infrastructure, is continuing design work and costing for the stops, which were previously estimated to come in at around £100,000 each.
> The consultation will run until Monday June 29.

The Golden Circle (Not As Good As The Golden Arches)
Hello again! We don't have much in the way of updates. Classes are getting tough, especially when you have to remember all 32 different ways an adjective can be spelled in Old Norse. But I took a wonderful trip with the Spanish crew and some friends from the Guesthouse around the Golden Circle. It was a lot of great tourist sites, including some places I've already visited. But I got some great photos and had a wonderful time not doing my homework.
It was a beautiful day. We got to see some waterfalls, including the stunning Gullfoss. We also saw some geysers, a glacier off in the distance, and a sheep roundup along the road!

Welcome to the world of my alter-ego.
I've kept a semi-private blog for my real-life friends since 2005, but I started password-protecting so many entries that it just wasn't worth it anymore. So now I've gone public, and I've gone anonymous (though some of my real-life friends still know I write this), with one goal: to talk about sex. I'm a virgin myself, but I've read enough and heard enough to give me some background knowledge, and the point of this blog is really to analyze and pontificate, something you don't need real-world experience for.
My first post gives you a bit more background, so I thought I'd use this space to just give you a bit of quick context.
Not only am I inexperienced, I'm kind of sexually repressed, I suppose. I've never had an orgasm and at one point I was quite determined to, but I never enjoyed masturbation either (something to do with gender dysphoria and my vulva), so I just decided I'd give it some time. That strategy of denial's worked pretty well so far. I had one conventional teenage "relationship" with a boy, which lasted a few months. The farthest we got was making out. I didn't like it very much. I've kissed a girl, and I liked that a lot better. I think it might have had more to do with the individuals involved than the general idea.
I've occasionally thought that the whole masturbation thing might mean I'm asexual, but I don't think so. I'm definitely attracted to people and their bodies. I'm kinda-sorta bisexual: I find women's bodies far more attractive than men's, but for emotional reasons I'd be willing to pursue a "relationship" with either a man or a woman. This might have a partial connection with the fact that I have an androgynous "look" and consider myself gender-nonconforming, with a female body but a mix of masculine and feminine characteristics. I've shied away from the "transgender" label, though, because I'm still pretty much rooted in my tits—but seeing as it's the word I'm nervous about, this is probably just internalized transphobia (are you getting used to the way I analyze myself yet?).
The aspect of my sexuality that I'm most actively trying to work out is my sexual preferences (the term I use for what I'd actually want to do "in bed"). I've got a strong interest in the world of BDSM (which stands for "bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism"). I've been the most closeted about this part of me, and yet I'm the most eager to explore it. It's probably the sex thing you'll see me write about most. I'm most interested in the D/s part of the acronym (dominance and submission), usually from the submissive side. This has been a part of my sexuality from a very young age—I grew up a straight-and-narrow girly-girl, but from the age of six I fantasized about imprisonment and slavery. So don't knock it, because it's who I am, and I know that even though I haven't seen much porn or anything like that—just read content that's not meant to be arousing.
So yep. I'm writing to reassure myself, to hear the sound of my own voice, to tell people like me that they're not alone, to exchange information, to become famous. If you've made it to the bottom of this page, go comment on something to make me happy. It's a trite line I stole from someone a long time ago for the ends of my about pages, but thanks for listening.

Way up on the 16th floor of the Whittell Building, the one disappearing skyward center right, my Uncle Frank is working in his lapidary shop. It's the tall brown one in the street view below.
Owl Drug Company, founded in San Francisco in the late 19th century, was something of a California institution. Among other things, it manufactured its own medicine bottles, which enjoy considerable popularity among collectors of such things.
I see a return of the Eclipse Streetcar Fender. With all the pedestrian traffic visible here, I can see why they were popular in the day.

"Practice makes the master"
Few people practice, most people don't. Our goal is to share a practice program that you can adapt to your own interest and level. Allow yourself to see your dance grow much faster. Our practica is also open to those who are not our students. It gives you the possibility to be more focused and free than in any other social tango situations. More about us here, and here.
"Take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow"
So, once in the practica space/time YOU ARE FREE. This means you can choose to dance or not… how come? Well, observing other people dance is also a way of practice. And dancing as you are being observed is also something different from what you may be used to. So nobody is going to force you to dance at all. However, we understand we get together at this space to improve our own dance, and so it's expected (for your own good) to practice according to what YOU want to practice, or according to the proposal of the day.
"Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice… and practica gives you more knowledge!"
We have written some ideas to be intended as a guide for those who are not very experienced in practicing by themselves. And again, these ideas are not a must to follow. You can do whatever you want with them. You could let these ideas inspire you to do something different, or even the complete opposite!!! The point is to practice anything that makes you happier and a better dancer. And, at least from our own experience, the better you become, the happier you'll be!
So, once you let us know that you want to sign in to our practica, we'll send you some guidelines for you to read before coming. This way you will get much more from your practice time. Because remember:
"It's not necessarily the amount of time you spend at practica that counts: it's what you put into the practice time."

Financially troubled business software supplier Baan NV saw its share price soar yesterday, fueled by rumours about buyers interested in acquiring part or all of the company.
At the end of yesterday's trading in Amsterdam, Baan shares closed at 3.06 euros ($US2.77), more than 90 percent higher than Wednesday. The surge spilled over to the US, where Baan shares in late-morning trading on the Nasdaq exchange were selling at $3.16, compared to Wednesday's closing price of $1.69.
Baan's share price has taken a beating in the last few months as the company reported widening losses and shrinking sales.
The share price jumped amid published rumors that database vendor Oracle was on the list of potential buyers of Baan's customer relationship management (CRM) software unit.
Baan announced the availability of Interaction, a new electronic CRM suite for its BaanFrontOffice software. Interaction allows businesses to manage marketing communications and create sales channels based on call-centres, the company said in a statement.

Sorry I did not post for today earlier. I was sick this weekend--doing better. Also, I think this is a good base for starting the week, as well as approaching the weekend. Even if you do not get to cleaning the bathroom daily, this will make it an easier job. This is a manageable and realistic plan that would work, even if you should happen to only get around to cleaning a bathroom once a week. And, you can divide the job up for more than one bathroom. Wipe one down lightly and do a heavy duty job on the other. Mix it up. Make it work!
What I have learned is I can accomplish many things in baby steps. This keeps life's challenges and chores from being overwhelming, as well as making them more pleasurable. This is why I keep writing and sharing, hoping you will be encouraged to join the dance of balance and grace.

(PGMA visits and shops at Glorietta 2, the site of the deadly bombing, just 4 days after the incident.)
To project that malls are perfectly safe to visit these days, PGMA dropped by to inspect and shop at the Glorietta shopping mall complex yesterday 23 Oct 2007. The message the government strongly and loudly wants to bring forth is that it is "business as usual." Meanwhile, the underlying and real message of this brave act is this, "mindless middle-class herd, go back to your senseless shopping and window-shopping, please."
Funny, but this scene reminds me of the time when Thaksin Shinatwara, erstwhile Prime Minister of Thailand (he was unexpectedly booted out by the military) forced his ministers to eat fried chickens when the predominantly Buddhist country was ravaged by the bird flu virus. During that period, Thaksin didn't want to admit that Thailand was hit by the dreaded bird disease despite suspicious massive death of chickens in their countryside. He was adamant that the chickens died by some other disease aside and not the fatal bird flu strain. So to prove his point, he made a show of eating fried chickens publicly together with his government ministers. However, a few weeks or months later, he did admit the truth. Thailand was indeed hit by the bird flu virus, and subsequent human deaths were reported as a result of the deadly bird strain. What was going on the head of those ministers when they willingly smiled at cameras and muched those potentially life-threathening fried chickens? I can only wonder. I reckon they were forced by Thaksin to chomp those crispy fried chickens and didn't much have of a choice given that their jobs were on the line but still, what could have they been thinking?
I, myself, dropped by at the Glorietta the day PGMA arrived there. Forced by the relentless rain to the take the FX taxi bound to Landmark, I found the Glorietta mall virtually empty. The usually jampacked restaurants had only a few diners here and there. People are still obviously scared over what happened and cannot be fooled by assurances that everything is fine and dandy again. Around this time, teeming with eager early Christmas shoppers, the Glorietta shopping mall complex is almost always filled to the brim. But now, the place is unusually cold and desolate-looking. It still has a pungent smell which is perhaps caused by the unexpexted blast. Things will never be the same again. Business will never be the same as usual. No matter the amount of cajoling from government officials, including the president, I will never ever forget what took place on that unfortunate Friday afternoon. The lapse of security measures means that Glorietta can be targeted again and again. Although it is highly unlikely that it will be a target again anytime soon as the principle of "lightning not striking the same area twice" generally applies, still it is "better to be safe than sorry."

That's how much Twitter made from selling "its" data on insights and trends. Mainly through four companies.
Wall Street Journal, October 7, 2013 B1 http://on.wsj.com/1fW3tKh
Social data analytics — big business. Great for monitoring customer complaints (DirecTV) and get pre-breaking news alerts on market moving developments (Dataminr), or where to send help during Hurricane Sandy.
So, that's how much timely access to your data is worth. To Twitter. Are newspapers dead? TV news? Twitter's data business grew 53% over the last year.

There seems to be a nationwide debate going on about how marijuana should be viewed in the eyes of the law. Some safety advocates claim that pot is still a gateway drug for young people and should remain illegal, while voters in some states like Washington and Colorado have decriminalized marijuana possession to some extent. Even the city of Chicago is deemphasizing the practice of arresting people solely for pot possession. But there's one thing everyone can agree on: the practice of driving under the influence of marijuana should remain outlawed.
Unfortunately, even DUI laws pertaining to pot couldn't stop a tragic auto accident from occurring earlier this month in Rockford. Around 2:15am on the morning of Saturday, March 2, an 18-year old man was driving his car along Kilburn Avenue about a mile northwest of the Rock River. When the vehicle was just north of Whitman Street, it struck a parked car. A passenger in that parked vehicle suffered critical injuries and had to be rushed to a nearby hospital. The teen who caused the auto accident was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of marijuana and was also cited for improper lane usage.
Because he was arrested on DUI charges, the 18-year old will almost certainly be held completely responsible for the auto accident and its consequences. So the injured passenger may choose to file a personal injury lawsuit against the teen. This type of lawsuit would allow the plaintiff to collect reimbursement for medical expenses, including treatment costs, hospital and ambulance charges, and even physical therapy sessions. If the passenger has to miss work, the defendant may also have to pay compensation for the wages that were not earned. Furthermore, a jury could award the plaintiff monetary damages for pain and suffering or mental anguish, as well as punitive damages since the defendant was charged with DUI.

One of my favorite Kickstarter backed projects so far were these little silicon connector pieces that you can connect wooden dowels to. The boys are still a bit young for them but they are a lot of fun. Anthony puts them together and builds with them but gets frustrated when he can't pull them a part. Nathan collects the blue connectors and gets frustrated if Anthony tries to use the blue ones. Can you guess Nate's favorite color?
They are a fun toy! The company that created them got acquired by FatBrainToys. So you can purchase them from their website: https://www.fatbraintoys.com/toy_companies/fat_brain_toy_co/joinks.cfm $44.95 for a set of 76 pieces. We got three sets as part of the Kickstarter.

Here is how it works:
Places a socket on a stud
Too tight- move one size down
Loose fit - check the next bigger stud
Tight fit - this is it; the socket size is shown on the label
Distributed by Sky Leap LLC
With two rows of sizing knobs for SAE and metric sockets, identifying the size of socket is convenient and easy.
Large, easy to read labels indicate the socket sizes
Metric sizing elements: 10 mm to 19 mm
SAE sizing elements: 5/32", 3/16", 13/64", 7/32", 1/4", 9/32", 5/16", 11/32", 3/8", 7/16"
Storage space for additional tools such as ratchet, extensions, or adapters
Reading the size markers is sometimes difficult for larger size sockets. It can be difficult or even impossible for small sockets. Two rows of sizing studs, metric and SAE, make sorting easy and convenient. Large, easy to read labels aligned with the sizing studs indicate the socket sizes.
This organizers holds up to 20 small and 10 long sockets depending on the mix of short and long sockets. Size and sort SAE and metric sockets - use a tray for each or go wild and store a mix.
Socket storing sections are aligned with sizing studs. Additional storage space on the left and across the end of the tray can be used for ratchet, extensions, other tools or project material

Satan would like us to be fearful in talking to others about the Lord…not wanting to offend…wanting rather, to be "politically correct", even if it goes against the Word of God. Satan would like us to keep quiet, not rocking the boat of this modern liberal society. Satan doesn't care if we read the Bible or pray…just as long as we don't do it in public. But Satan also knows the power of the spoken Word, and what a transformation could take place… if Christians weren't silent.

Community Alert - Credit/ Debit Card Theft
The important thing to remember is to keep your credit or debit cards separate from your other identification. Carry only what you need for that day. Make sure wallets and purses are secure at all times, checkin g them frequently especially if the mall or area you're in is crowded. Watch out for "Shoulder Surfers" as you're keying in your pin number at a bank machine. Go into the bank to make the transaction if possible. Always remember if you have been the victim of a theft to report the matter to the Police immediately and cancel all debit and bank cards as soon as you discover anything missing.

American Airlines Arena – An Entertainment Coliseum for the Ages
Throughout history there have been many significant arenas and stadiums. In the modern day, there are a few arenas that can even rival those of legend; the AAA could be one such place.
The arena was built at a cost more than two-hundred-million dollars in 1999. There are more than two-thousand club seats, eighty luxury suites, and seventy-six private boxes available at the arena. Florida's largest theatre, the Waterfront Theater, is also housed within the arena, boasting a maximum capacity of five thousand eight hundred.
The AAA is home to the Miami Heat NBA team, and therefore features many notable basketball matches. In addition to basketball the arena has featured some notable UFC tournaments as well.
The range of artists and bands that have taken the stage at AAA are astonishing, and feature names such as Tina Turner, U2, Maroon 5 and Shakira. If you're staying at a South Beach Miami hotel situated nearby such as COMO Metropolitan Miami Beach be sure to check if there are any shows happening.
Parking and Transport
When big events happen, traffic congestion is inevitable. While there is parking available, the prices associated with them are quite high. The most feasible option therefore would be to use the metro-rail. The Metromover is free and can be utilised at the Government Center Station.

I was talking to one of my friends recently about marketing to millennials. She rolled her eyes. "It doesn't make me feel reassured when somebody is directly marketing to me," she told me. "It doesn't feel good to know they are trying to 'get' me. It makes me feel like I'm being targeted." This isn't an uncommon sentiment among the people I've talked to about millennial/Gen Y-aimed marketing.
I was reminded of this conversation with my friend a few weeks later during an ongoing text conversation. My two closest friends and I talk pretty much every day over this thing. Yesterday's topic was the Democratic Debate and what we think of the different candidates (or in some cases, if we were even planning on watching it). One of my friends echoed a sentiment about Hillary Clinton that I've heard time and time again— she's trying too hard to reach young people and the wool is not being pulled over our eyes. There was her doing the Nay Nay on Ellen, a laid back interview with Lena Dunham (talk about someone that everyone pictures when they hear 'Gen Y') and an appearance on SNL. Where am I going with this? People see what Hillary's trying to do. It's transparent that she's targeting new and young voters.
Okay, woah there, Alia. That's probably what you're thinking right now. This is getting way too political of a blog post for working in advertising. Just hear me out here. I'm not trying to endorse anyone. Hold those horses of yours.
So where were we? Millennials. Hillary is all about millennials as a commodity voter. Got it. On the flip side, who is polling well with millennials? Bernie Sanders. He doesn't exactly seem to have the makings of a candidate that would stand out to twenty-somethings— he's old and he's crotchety. Still, he's polling insanely well with millennials. The issues that Sanders addresses resonate, sure. But his brand is catching like wildfire. His grassroots campaign was sparked by social media, drawing in the most social media use heavy generation.
Bernie is no nonsense, he is transparent with what he says and he sticks to his issues with no superfluous chatter about topics that are unimportant to his platform. That's what is drawing in millennials. They trust Bernie because they pick up on his authenticity.
This isn't a blog post about why I like Bernie Sanders as a millennial. It's about how his authenticity is branding him. Clinton and Sanders have almost identical voting records and they both have a ton of experience in office (with Clinton brandishing some bigger titles.) The brand of the Bern vs the brand of Hillary is on and Bernie is winning with millennials.
I guess, a question that I want to prompt people in marketing to think about is— what can we learn from these politicians in terms of reaching millennials? Well, for one thing, I think it's important to take on the Bernie approach here.
For instance, you need to keep things relevant. An article according to Entrepreneur (http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/246199) talks about millennials needing a company to be relevant to them. This means somehow building a community through your brand and showing that you are not only relevant, but you want to work with your customers/ members instead of against them.
We can find hints about branding and PR in everything— we don't have to stick strictly to looking at companies that we admire or competitors. Look to the brands – and people – right under your nose to figure out who exactly you are trying to reach. You might be surprised how you reach them.
