The Legacy, by Kirsten Tranter (Quercus, £12.99)
Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady is reworked as a seductive contemporary literary thriller, balancing the flamboyant art scene of New York with cool, urban Sydney. Ingrid, recently orphaned, is welcomed into her uncle's family, beginning an intensely close friendship with her effete and sickly cousin Ralph, and his friend Julia. When Ingrid inherits a fortune from Ralph's father she leaves Australia for New York, marrying the mysterious, reserved art dealer Gil Grey. In thrall to him and expensively cloistered, she is swiftly lost to her former companions. So far so very Isabel Archer, but when Ingrid disappears on 9/11 and is presumed dead, ailing Ralph dispatches Julia to New York to uncover the truth. Although the denouement is too lengthy, and with Ingrid's cipher-like character the book fails to convince completely as a drama, it is nonetheless a knowing, classy debut.
Scream If You Want to Go Faster, by Russ Litten (Heinemann, £11.99)
Set in Hull on the last weekend of the city's annual fair, this is a rollercoaster ride of a novel – if more dismaying than exhilarating. It is late October 2007, and a cast of loosely connected characters have more than the receding summer floods on their minds. Kerry's nightshifts in a home for disturbed adults inflate an obsession with her sister's death; ex-con Trevor's bout of dogsitting is at first comic, then violently uncontrollable; unemployed Carl, strung out on MDMA, nervously awaits the birth of his second child; widowed Rose gets more than she bargains for when trawling the internet for new love; and burly Dave, forklift truck driver and part-time transvestite, struggles to confront a matter more urgent than routine prejudice. Rough and rousing, Litten's novel vividly evokes Hull's rich past and its diversely uncertain present.
Palo Alto, by James Franco (Faber, £12.99)
There appears to be little that James Franco can't do – Hollywood actor, Yale PhD student, painter and now author. Yet Franco's collection of stories, set in his native Palo Alto, California, while accomplished, ultimately falls victim to what has been called his "unusually high metabolism for productivity". High-school seniors, riddled with the ennui – if none of the elan – of Bret Easton Ellis's Less than Zero, drink, puke, fuck, hang out, gang up, overdose, commit petty crimes, occasionally die but mostly live, all in a stylishly numb, unoriginal manner. This typical sentence, from "Lockheed", "he could be pretty mean behind people's backs because people were so mean to his face", is pure surface. Regardless of the content of these tales, they dwindle to the same flat, disassociated point. It's tempting to visit Palo Alto, but make it a brief trip.
To Algeria with Love, by Suzanne Ruta (Virago, £12.99)
An Algerian writer in exile visits New York in the aftermath of 9/11. A meeting set up with a Jewish American woman in her early 60s provides the catalyst for an outpouring of love, regret and a hunger for resolution. The woman, Louise, had spent the winter of 1961 – vividly recounted – as a rebellious student in the south of France. There, fired up on Camus and a longing for experience, she met Ahmed Ouali, known as Wally, an older, graceful Algerian factory worker supporting his wife and family back home. Though Louise and Wally eventually parted, she gave him the son they had together – and now desperately wants to find. Though highly readable, this is an uncomfortable book as Louise, the principal narrator, is wildly overblown and romantically naive even in later life, and Wally's story seems never his to tell.

Cabin Fever Crossword Note Cards
Sometimes there's nothing better than old-fashioned correspondence. On Saturday we got a card in the mail from a friend, and not only was it great to see a personal message in our friend's handwriting, but the card had a use as well (hooray for multi-use anything, really). The front of the card is a crossword puzzle, ours titled, "Small Talk."
When open, the tri-fold notecard includes two card panels for writing your message, and the third gives you answers (upside down with the reminder "don't peek!"...and the clues are on the back). We thought this idea was perfect, especially receiving it just in time for a cold winter's Sunday morning at home.
The notecards come in a nontraditional book format from the Crown Publishing Group (of Random House). The $12 book contains selections from the "highly popular crossword puzzle books edited by Stanley Newman, and each magnetic closure box contains 12 different puzzle cards and 13 envelopes. Puzzle lovers may be tempted to work on a crossword card until they're stumped and then mail it to a friend to finish!" We like that last idea too.
Now if only we could subsitute excessive junk mail with more handwritten notes from loved ones...

Stanley's curiosity this time leads him to find out what all the kids do in school every day.
Tired of being left outside all the time, Stanley, Gassy Jack, Alice, and Nutsy (each dog's personality masterfully captured by Slavin) team up to take on the school. They figure out how to open the huge door, conquer their fears of the school's great size, and then glory in its delights—the lunches, the kids, running through the hallways and all kinds of places familiar to students everywhere—until they run into a room with no exit and the "toppest dog" of all: the principal (depicted as a no-nonsense black woman). But the fierce-looking administrator just pats the dogs' heads kindly and then orders them out the door. And the following day, the four friends (and all the dogs they've blabbed to) are waiting when the school doors open at the end of the day—because kids are almost as much fun as dogs, and school isn't far behind. Slavin's illustrations are a delight, from the dogs' revels and the kids' excitement to the postures and facial expressions of the dogs as they await the principal's judgment. The kids are depicted with a range of skin colors and hair textures, and at least one child is in a wheelchair.
Here's hoping readers feel the same way about school as Stanley does; even if they don't, though, they are sure to laugh at the dogs' adventures. Where will they end up next? (Picture book. 4-8)

What about Sekine bicycles? How about everything!
This project grew from a desire to learn about the company- who they were, how they started. When I couldn't easily find accurate information, I had to start digging. The more I found, the more I wanted to know. What about this bike, or this model? Why do they have different head badges? So many questions, so few answers. So far, I've discovered a lot of interesting information, and I'd like to know even more. Eventually, I dream of condensing the information I've found and publishing a small zine; whose photocopied pages will be found, tattered and grease-stained, in bike co-ops and workshops across the land.
I've never owned one and only ridden a few, but I've come to appreciate these bikes everywhere I see them. I'm the weird bike nerd who stops you on the street to talk about your old Sekine. I'm not crazy, I'm just doing some research. Mind if I take a photo for the record?
Do you have a Sekine? Did you work for them? Racee one of their bikes? Have an old photo or story to tell? Do you ride one to work and treat it badly? Post a comment, or send your photos and stories to share.
The Sekine Project. More than you ever wanted to know about Sekine Canada Ltd.

42 For 42: Mariano Rivera's 38th Greatest Moment – Mo Gets Drafted By Harlem Globetrotters
Mariano Rivera is arguably one of the greatest baseball players of all time. But with his career coming to an end soon, he's going to need to find ways to occupy his time when it's done. The Harlem Globetrotters extended an olive branch to Rivera, offering to help him fill the void on the basketball court by drafting him earlier this year in the number 38 moment of our countdown.
Rivera was "drafted" by the Globetrotters in June. Of course, they didn't expect him to actually accept their invitation to play for the team. Each year, the Globetrotters choose a couple of big names to list in the press release that announces which players are actually joining the team to draw attention to the announcement.
In the press release from the Globetrotters (yes, the Globetrotters have a press release for a draft that isn't even real), the team praised Rivera's charitable efforts and ability to close games, which is just as important in basketball as it is in baseball.
And in the fourth quarter, when the Globetrotters need to close out a game, who better than the best closer of all-time? Mariano Rivera has made a living by finishing off opponents. We always have a place on our roster for winning athletes with that kind of mindset. His charitable work through the Mariano Rivera Foundation also embodies the spirit of the Globetrotters giving back to the community.
Rivera, who was drafted along with WNBA star Brittney Griner, didn't take the selection seriously. When asked about the invite from the Globetrotters, Mariano simply laughed.

That manner you earlier cognise that guitar musical performance is one of the record amusing hobbies. It is same that you bear your preliminary pedagogy lacking a teacher, and it is in that instruction that you dribble in adulation near the means.
Why Playing Guitar is a Passion

No longer are you merely sounding to divert your buddies, but or else you want to advance your stringed instrument playing skills.
Playing the guitar is no trouble-free task, even more for those of us who really privation to grind in on the tools. If you are earlier musical performance guitar, afterwards you know that before. Until you leap for several months, you may have to go finished many frustrations and headache of edifice up your dactyl calluses.

If you poverty to larn to dramatic composition guitar, or if you are a moment ago exploit started, you want to have the radical gear to set yourself up for occurrence. You can pick and choose from either an electrical guitar or an aural guitar.
While furthermost of your favorite musicians are in all probability rocking out on an electric stringed instrument on stage, I would extremely suggest research guitar on an physics. It is more onerous to cram because the string section do not have as noticeably give, and it will truly activity you get a virtuous be aware of for the device and the sound. After you swot up physics guitar, you will confidently be able to engender the passage of to electric.
Guitar Playing Styles
There are several styles of stringed instrument playing: folk, rock, classical, and blues in recent times to identify a few. Each kind has its own technique involved, and record have their own genre of guitar. Most stringed instrument players activate out near a principle natural philosophy metal yarn guitar, and migrate to the contrasting types of guitar once they have been musical performance for a time. Switching to the contrary types will sustain you diversify your clamour for the contrastive styles.
Every creative sort of guitar musical performance has its challenges. Over time, you should larn and get a hot astuteness of all stylishness and artist them one at a instance. It does pilfer a lot of longanimity beside all of them, so don't anticipate thing to come in undemanding.

After the most successful season in the promotion's history, Bellator was back tonight with the first of three Summer Series events aimed at naming a few new title-contenders and keeping fans entertained until the organization returns on a weekly basis this fall. Specifically, Bellator 96 featured the first round of two four-man tournaments highlighting talent in both the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions.
On the "big boy" side of things, unbeaten Russian Vitaly Minakov (11-0) took on 6'5" slugger Ron Sparks (8-2) and seasoned veteran Rich Hale (21-5-1) attempted to stop the momentum of Ryan Martinez (10-2). Meanwhile, former Strikeforce champions saw action at 205 pounds with Renato Sobral (37-11) squaring off against Jacob Noe (12-2) and Mo Lawal (10-2) meeting Seth Petruzelli (14-8) respectively.
Both heavyweight fights ended with opening round knockouts, seeing Martinez and Minakov advance to a tilt with a title-shot on the line, while Noe pulled off an upset over "Babalu" by peppering him with strikes to the point the referee intervened despite Sobral still standing and Lawal blasted Petruzelli into la-la land with a huge shot from above.
Also worth mentioning, Sobral announced his retirement after his clash's conclusion, walking away after more than 15 years in the sport.

Resting the foot for at least a week is one of the best and most important tips for heel spur treatment. If you think you are suffering from heel spurs, it is important to refrain from any stressful activity that could cause heel of foot pain to worsen Putting stress on a heel, especially when plantar fasciitis is present, can cause more damage to the tissues, ligaments, and nerves surrounding the heel. Icing after running can also be helpful. But long term use of ice only serves to mask the pain. Ice used in chronic conditions can quite possibly slow healing by decreasing the blood flow to the injured area.
The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fascitis which is commonly referred to as a Heel Bone Spur Plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous tissue which runs along the bottom surface of the foot, from the heel to the toes Click here to view diagram Plantar fascitis is a condition in which the plantar fascia is inflamed. This condition can be very painful and cause considerable amount of suffering As we age, the discs in our spine naturally degenerate and lose some of their natural shock-absorbing ability. Factors that contribute to and accelerate this process include stress, injury, poor posture, poor nutrition, and family history.
If Plantar Fasciitis is left untreated, it may become a chronic condition and treatment will become far more difficult. Also, Plantar Fasciitis sufferers tend to avoid putting weight on the sore heel and will try to walk on the forefoot in order to avoid pressure on the heel. With this abnormal walking pattern one could easily develop problems in the knees, hips or back.

Combination Therapy means using ColdCure ® and BFST ® in combination by alternating treatments. Combination Therapy is much more effective than using just ColdCure ® or just BFST ® This is because you're getting both the pain and swelling relief of ColdCure ® and the healing benefits of BFST ® , resulting in the absolute best treatment for your injury. Use the ColdCure ® wrap for at least 2 straight days before using the BFST ® wrap. This will help reduce not only the visible swelling you may see on the surface, but also the inflammation you may have and cannot see, deep down in the soft tissue.
Due to the heel spur's protrusion into the tendons and nerves of the foot, aching pain may be severe and continuous. Although the formation and subsequent pain of the heel spur may be caused from stress on the area around the heel, the pain actually decreases after walking. This is because the capillaries and nerves adjust around the spur, which is why pain is usually most severe when pressure is put on it after periods of rest. This pain may also increase when walking on hard surfaces or when carrying heavy objects.
orthotic insoles treat the source of Plantar Fasciitis and heel spurs Moreover, a soft shock-absorbing heel pad helps decrease the impact on the heel , providing added pain relief and walking relieve. During rest for example what time you're sleep, the Plantar Fascia tightens and shortens. When body weight is quickly applied to the foot, the Fascia have to stretch and quickly lengthen, causing irritation and tearing of the fascia. Hence, the sharp pain with your initial steps in the morning. Quite a few persons don't notice that they have an injuries till they come to feel tenderness and swelling in their heel
The plantar fascia is a basically inflexible, strong, fibrous band on the lower partof the foot. This band helps keep the sophisticated arch system of the foot, it is a shock absorber, participates in one's balance and in the different phases of gait. The plantar fascia transfer the weight across the lower part of the foot every step you are taking. At the moment the ankle of the trailing foot begins to lift off the ground, the plantar fascia band endures stress that is close to twice body weight. If the calf muscles are stiff than the stress is increased.
A lower center of gravity as can be caused by pregnancy, equipment belts, large thighs and hips (this may explain why overweight women are 6 times more likely than overweight men to get it) can contribute to it because more flexibility in the calf muscles is required when the center of gravity is lower. The reasons for this are discussed later. The only place that a lower center of gravity is mentioned as a cause is here at heelspurs.com. I met an engineer who had heel pain and who had a "squat" look. It looked like his hands came further down below the waist than normal.
Plantar Fasciitis usually presents itself as a sharp pain, experienced at the underside or front of the heel bone. Often the pain is worse with your first steps when getting out of bed in the morning. For most people Plantar Fasciitis pain is more severe following periods of inactivity or rest, when getting up. After a short while the sharp pain subsides, turning into a dull ache. In the morning, stiffness and swelling in the heel area may be present. Plantar Fasciitis is Latin for inflammation of the Plantar Fascia. This inflammation occurs at the point where the fascia attaches to the calcaneus (also known as the heel bone).
Wearing appropriate shoe gear is the number one recommendation. It supports you heel in a proper manner. Use of custom orthotics is also recommended for heel spur relief. You can even go for physiotherapy and muscle stimulation. Physiotherapy and muscle stimulation techniques help in relaxing the muscles and lifting the pressure off them. The only equipment you'll need is a pair of cutters to assure a great fit in most shoes. Using Viscolas cushions gets the heel spurs relief Walk/stand on softer surfaces. If you have to work standing on a hard surface all day, sometimes standing on foam or rubber padding can help.

Children's performer Barry Louis Polisar -- who last made the news six months ago when his work was banned from Anne Arundel County schools -- will be playing at the White House next week.
"Isn't it amazing what a difference six months makes?" Mr. Polisar asked laughingly yesterday from his Silver Spring home.
Mr. Polisar will perform Easter Monday at the annual White House Easter egg hunt, held every year on the White House lawn.
Some 30,000 children and their parents are expected to hunt eggs and watch the program, which will be emceed by ventriloquist Shari Lewis (and Lamb Chop) and will also include performances by the National Symphony Orchestra youth quartet, the youth dancers of the Washington Ballet and the Dance Theater of Harlem.

10 Best Songs About Forgiveness
Here are the 10 best songs about forgiveness. The reason why so many of these songs about forgiveness are by Christian artists is because forgiveness is such a big part of the Christian faith. And forgiveness is hard. Sure, it's easy to say the words, 'I forgive you.' But do you really mean it? Really? Well, these artists at least sing it like they mean it.
- "Take You Back" by Jeremy Camp – The ultimate forgiver is God himself. Camp describes a loving God that will take us back, no matter how far we stray. Now that's a forgiving God!
- "East To West" by Casting Crowns – The Bible tells us that when God forgives us, He casts our sins as far as the east is from the west. And only He knows just how far that is. This fine Casting Crowns' song helps put God's work into practical perspective.
- "Grace Like Rain" by Todd Agnew – With this song, Agnew incorporates the hymn "Amazing Grace" into a brand new context. But no matter how you say it, or sing it, grace is always amazing.
- "Happy Day" by Tim Hughes – This is an upbeat, propulsive celebration of the great day when a person comes to salvation. Indeed, it's a happy day. God has washed our sin away and changed us forever.
- "Between You and Me" by DC Talk – A song where someone realizes they need to confess a sin before the sun goes down. We all know how hard it is to sleep when we have something we need to get right with somebody.
- "Let it Go" by Newsboys – A big part of forgiveness is letting the offense of another go. You can't forgive somebody and hold that against them at the same time. Just let it go.
- "Forgive Me" by Jars of Clay – It's amazing that God forgives us. But the great news is we can do the same. Jars of Clay has a good handle on this concept with this song.
- "Go and Sin No More" by Rebecca St. James – This song title is made up of the words Jesus said to the woman at the well. This man Jesus, God in the flesh, forgave her and advised her to sin no more. There is no better forgiveness than the words that come from Christ Himself.
- "How Many Times (Seventy Times Seven)" by White Heart – The people in Jesus time were amazed when he told them they need to forgive one another seven times seventy times. That's a lot! Forgiveness is that important, however.
- "To Forgive" by Al Denson – What do you do when someone you once loved and trusted lets you down? Can you forgive them? This song suggests, as Jesus did, that it can be done.

THE concerns voiced by North Wales head Michael James have been echoed by a medical academic who urged the Government to set up guidelines for schools to follow.
The Rydal Penrhos head said the Government had been slow on the uptake on issuing advice on the killer Sars bug.
He added: "There is a lot of information on the disease out there and people need to be reassured they are safe.
"France stopped flights coming in from these infected areas last month. If we get a serious outbreak of Sars in this country then people will start to point the finger."
His accusations came as Ian Wong, director of the Centre for Paediatric Pharmacy at the University of London, urged the Government to stop the potential disruption which could be caused to pupils' education.
In a letter to the British Medical Journal, he said the lack of a common policy for schools was spreading fear of the deadly virus.
He said schools were following different policies, with some allowing children back in, some imposing quarantines, and some telling children from overseas they would have to stay away until Sars had been contained.
Mr Wong wrote in the letter: "The situation looks confusing. I urge the Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Health to work together in this matter urgently and develop a common policy for schools.
"This will assist schools in making rational decisions and more importantly address the fears of parents and children." The Government was yesterday urged to classify Sars alongside cholera and smallpox so that people arriving in the UK with symptoms could be detained for treatment.
Shadow health secretary Dr Liam Fox described Britain's response so far to the outbreak had been "feeble, complacent and irresponsible."
The Tories said the Government should make Sars a "notifiable disease" under the Public Health (Control of Diseases) Act 1984.
But the Chief Medical Officer, Sir Liam Donaldson, said all six cases in Britain so far had been detected quickly and brought under control.
"We are in very, very close daily contact with the World Health Organisation and the other countries involved and, far from being feeble or complacent, we are working very, very hard," he said.
There have been 4,288 probable cases of Sars worldwide and 251 deaths.
The death rate for Sars is between 5pc and 6pc, compared with a mortal-ity rate of 30pc for smallpox.
Following the WHO advice, the UK Government yesterday warned Britons not to travel to Toronto, as well as Hong Kong and parts of China.
The Canadian High Commission in London said there was little risk of contracting Sars in normal day-to-day activities and insisted "travel to Toronto is safe."
It also emerged a Thai woman was in a Bangkok hospital with suspected Sars, and officials believe she may have contracted the deadly virus in London.

I've just returned from Monterey, Califonia, where I was at the Education Translators, Interpreters and Localizers in an Evolving World conference at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. As the title suggests, the talks focused on translation and interpreting pedagogy, and I came away with some new ideas after a number of very interesting presentations. Most of the day consisted of parallel sessions, so obviously I wasn't able to attend everything. I'll just summarize a few of the talks I particularly enjoyed. I've grouped them into three broad categories: those that discussed how to design new course offerings or fundamentally reshape the way a course is offered, those that touched on online teaching, and those that offered ideas or activities that could be integrated into existing translation courses.
Course design
On Saturday morning, I listened to Kayoko Takeda from Rikkyo University in Japan speak about developing a general education course on "Translation and interpretation literacy" for undergraduate students at her university. It focused on topics like the roles translators and interpreters play in society and professional issues translators and interpreters face without actually having students practice translation. What I found most intriguing was the way the course was designed: three instructors co-taught the course, and 14 guest speakers came to the Saturday-morning class to speak about topics like crowdsourcing and machine translation, business practices, subtitling, Bible translation, and community translation. These guest speakers would give students tasks to do before their talks (e.g. consulting a website, reading blog posts or articles), and then students would participate in the lectures, often by producing in-class essays on topics like rules, remuneration and rewards, or technology.
Methods and Activities for Online teaching
Saturday morning and afternoon included several presentations about teaching translation and interpretation in an online environment. Here are some of my favourites:
Suzanne Zeng talked about the University of Hawaii's Interactive Video Service (HITS), which allows her to teach up to three groups of students simultaneously via an interactive closed-circuit TV system. While Suzanne teaches a group of students in one room, other groups of students at university campuses located on various Hawaiian islands sit in similar classrooms and participate in the class via video. All students have microphones at their desks, and when they push the button to talk, the video cameras are programmed to zoom in on the speakers so everyone else can hear what their peers have to say and see them clearly while they say it. The shared screens also allow everyone to see any PowerPoint presentations the instructor might use, and any notes he or she might write on the white board. I liked the way this system works because instructors can teach both in person and online at the same time. Having all students together simultaneously allows everyone to participate in discussions and group exercises, regardless of which island they might live on. Suzanne did mention that she has to monitor the video feeds while she is teaching so she can make sure the students in the other locations are fully engaged: addressing them directly helps remind these students that she is able to see them and is paying attention to them as well as the students in her classroom. She also noted that the system doesn't allow for any flexibility in timing: class has to begin and end at a precise time because that's when the video feed stops and starts; so if she is in the middle of a sentence with just a few seconds left on the counter, she'll be cut off as soon as the clock reaches zero, and students in the remote locations won't hear the end of what she had to say. That means instructors need to be very conscious of the clock with a system like this.
Qjinti Oblitas and Andrew Clifford, from my department at York University, offered some insight into how their interpretation students develop close ties with their peers, even though the first year of our Master's in Conference Interpreting program is offered online. Through a variety of sometimes humourous examples, Qjinti and Andrew showed that students engaged with one another outside of the virtual classroom via private Facebook groups, text messages, Skype chats, and apps like WeChat, and they argued that the students felt a real sense of community with their peers—so much so in fact that many of the students found ways to meet one another in person if they lived in the same country or were travelling to a place near one of their classmates.
Finally, Cristina Silva said that every strategy for offline teaching could be adapted for the online classroom. She offered a variety of examples, some of which I use already, and others that I will consider using in the future—though I should point out that many of these ideas would work just as easily in a face-to-face classroom. Cristina's suggestions included having students translate together via Google Docs, having students practice editing machine translations while using screen-sharing software so that their classmates can see their results, and encouraging students to use Dragon Naturally Speaking to record themselves while they dictated a sight translation to see whether their productivity increased compared to just typing out the translations themselves.
Activities for the translation classroom
Kent State University's Erik Angelone offered a new way of having students assess their translation process. Arguing that other process-focused research methods like think-aloud-protocols and keystroke logging were too time consuming or too complicated to integrate into the classroom, Erik proposed using screen recorders like Blueberry Flashback Express to have students record their computer screens while they worked. Then, when students look back at these recordings, they would be able to see, for instance, whether they hesitated before translating a word but did not consult an electronic resource, which might indicate that the translation needs to be double-checked. Integrating screen recordings into the classroom would also allow students to learn from the methods other students or even professional translators had used: how do others deal with distractions like email alerts, for instance? Or how did others research a problematic word or phrase? I thought this was a very helpful idea for getting students to think about how they translate and whether their method could be more effective. One audience member did mention that the disadvantage of screen recordings is that it doesn't show what students are doing off their computers (e.g. Consulting a paper dictionary), but Erik suggested that students could comment on their screen recordings afterwards in a retrospective interview. Of course, they could comment more informally as well, by adding a few written remarks at the end of their recording to describe any of their research techniques that wouldn't show up in the screen recording. I'm going to integrate an activity like this into my introductory translation class next term, and after I do, I'll write a short post about the results.
There were other talks I enjoyed as well, but this post is getting quite long. I think I'll end with a link to the tweets that came out of the conference, which, though short, give a good overview of a larger selection of talks. You can take a look at the tweet compilation on Storify here.

We took a drive up to Lake Elsinore - it sounded like a place we might be able to take Kona swimming. It was; there was a large deserted beach. In fact the whole town looked a bit deserted and down at the heels. It's kind of a strange area; surrounded by wealth and beauty, and yet around this lake, the only fresh water lake in southern CA, it is run down and kind of junky. We did a little research and it turns out that the history, and I guess the present situation is very much determined by the erratic rise and fall of the lake level. Tourism just can't get a dependable foothold because it alternates flooding with a disappearing lake. This is our best take on the situation, but we could be off. It's not a place I'd go back to, exempt that Kona may insist.
A few days ago we ventured over the mountains down twisting and turning route 74 into the Palm Desert area. Had lunch at Tyler's, a small place in old Palm Springs, famous for their burgers, surrounded by the old style Spanish architecture of the plaza. Sat outside and got a little sun with my veggie burger.
The Coachella Valley, which is an agricultural, commercial and residential oasis in the desert, is very heavily developed with malls and golf courses. Palm Springs looks like it's seen better days. I think the recession has hit it hard. It's a wealthy area still, but the retail establishments have suffered. Palm Desert is doing a little better.
At the northwest end of the valley there is a huge wind farm, with the turbines echoing the palm trees that are everywhere.
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is also at that end of town. There's nothing harder than taking good pictures from a tram. The experience offers grand vistas of the valley and the canyon that just look blah in photographs. The contrast between the shadows of the canyon and the distant brightness of the desert is almost impossible to balance for an amateur like me. Here are two examples.
Once at the top, the light balanced out into a beautiful bright winter day. Our first taste of anything like winter since we've been here in the south.
It's a crystal clear, breezy day today, probably will be in the 70's. I'm going to the farmers market in Temecula today while Rick watches tennis in Australia.

YEKATERINBURG, May 31 (Itar-Tass) - Trade and economic relations between Russia and the European Union can receive a fresh impetus at the upcoming Russia - EU summit in Yekaterinburg. This issue was discussed on Friday at a meeting of Vice Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region Yakov Silin with Head of the EU Delegation to Russia Fernando Valenzuela. He arrived in the Middle Urals to take part in the summit, as well as attend events of the Days of Europe Festival, which was officially opened in Yekaterinburg on Friday, the information department of the Sverdlovsk governor told Itar-Tass.
According to the head of the EU delegation to Russia, the Days of Europe and the upcoming summit are called upon to create the basis for closer cooperation in various fields. "For us it is very important to familiarise with your region, because we know how big the dynamics of its development is. Our task is to work on the creation of the basis for future cooperation of businesses. Therefore, one of the most important issues of the summit will be the negotiations on a new agreement between the EU and Russia. The agreement's clause dealing with trade and investment should get a new impetus," Fernando Valenzuela said.
According to him, the EU is Russia's trade partner number one, and Russia is so far only third for the European Union. "About 70 percent of investment in Russia comes from the EU. I receive from the ambassadors of the EU member states and representatives of the Association of European Businesses (AEB) information about the positive climate for doing business in Russia and in the Sverdlovsk Region. It is also interesting that, despite another stage of the financial and economic crisis the EU is going through, the trade and investment volume with Russia continues to grow," Valenzuela said. According to him, the European markets are currently mature enough and therefore have a very modest potential for growth, while the Russian market has incredible growth potential.
"The summit will provide an excellent opportunity to discuss at the highest level all the important issues of mutual cooperation. Certainly, the summit will discuss economic cooperation, issues of the visa regime. In addition, the views on the international situation will be discussed, as Russia is presiding over the G20," Valenzuela emphasised.

|"Untouchable" on YouTube
"Untouchable" is a song performed by British all-female pop group Girls Aloud, taken from their fifth studio album Out of Control (2008). The song was written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins and his production team Xenomania, and produced by Higgins and Xenomania. Influenced by trance music and Balearic beat, the album version of "Untouchable" is over six minutes long. Remixed for single release in April 2009, "Untouchable" memorably became Girls Aloud's first and only single to miss the top ten on the UK Singles Chart. The song received generally favorable reviews from most contemporary music critics, who praised its ambition. "Untouchable" would be the final release by the group before their hiatus.
In the music video, inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 2001: Space Odyssey, the group travels through space and approaches Earth in illuminated glass spheres (resembling meteorites). "Untouchable" was promoted through an appearance on Dancing on Ice and the group's Out of Control Tour, during which the song was performed.
Background and composition[edit]
"Untouchable" is a trance-inspired "rave ballad," which marries "Balearic guitar lines with a pulsating techno throb."[1] The song is Girls Aloud's longest yet, at a full runtime of 6:45. "Untouchable" follows the common verse-chorus form, but includes a number of instrumental solos. Nadine Coyle sings a middle 8 ("Without any meaning, we're just skin and bone...") as the music drops out. The song builds back up and concludes with a final chorus.
Sarah Harding described the song as "so Nineties, a proper pop dance song. It's got that trancy, chilled Ibiza feel. [...] I get lost in the music at the beginning and then it builds and builds and builds. You just want to go mental."[2] The "emotional twangy guitar noise" heard in the song was the result of Xenomania musician Jason Resch responding to Higgins' request for something "special".[3] Higgins left the song at its full length, knowing that "The Promise" and "The Loving Kind" would be the first two singles and he could remix "Untouchable" for single release at a later point. The song was "chopped and changed for its single release", with Girls Aloud's vocals being vocodered.[4]
"Untouchable" was selected as the third single from Out of Control after it fared best in a fan poll on Girls Aloud's official forum. It was announced as the single on 20 February 2009.[5] "Untouchable" was released on CD single and 7" vinyl formats on April 27, while digital download formats were available a day earlier.[6][dead link] The CD includes a previously unreleased b-side entitled "It's Your Dynamite",[7] which Digital Spy says "matches the standard set on their previous releases [...] a treat for the ears."[8] The 7" vinyl picture disc format includes the Thriller Jill Mix of "Love Is the Key", as heard on The Girls Aloud Party opening credits and commercials.[6][dead link]
Critical response[edit]
"Untouchable" received generally favourable reviews from music critics. Slant Magazine said that it was "one of Girls Aloud's finest achievements."[1] John Earls of Planet Sound labelled the song "the standout track from Out Of Control", drawing comparisons with both DJ Sasha and the rave music of the 1990s.[9] It was praised by NME, described as "post-Ibiza power-balladeering".[10] The song was referred to as "fast, electronic and fantastic" with an immense build-up to the chorus by Popjustice.[11] BBC Music felt "the Balearic bliss of epic seven minute marathon Untouchable [...] prove[s] that you don't have to be brassy to be brilliant."[12] Digital Spy said the song "serves as the centrepiece" on the album and that even the radio edit "remains surprising, thrilling and strangely moving - in short, classic Girls Aloud."[4]
However, MSN said "the plodding disco track falls short".[13] CBBC declared, it "seems to want to be a ballad and a dance track without doing either well."[14] GayNZ.com stated that the song "works....but possibly not as well as the girls were hoping."[15]
Chart performance[edit]
The song entered the UK Singles Chart on 29 March 2009 at number 54.[16] It entered the top forty three weeks later.[16] The Sun reported that "Untouchable" was in danger of becoming Girls Aloud's first single to peak outside of the top ten, ending their six-year streak of twenty one consecutive top ten singles.[17] On 3 May 2009, it officially reached number eleven.[18] On the Irish Singles Chart, the song entered at number 38 and peaked at number nineteen.[18]
After the single failed to achieve top ten success when it was released late April 2009, a fan-created Facebook campaign was started nearly a year later (January 2010). The group hoped to push the single into the top ten, reviving and continuing Girls Aloud's streak.[19] The campaign failed, with "Untouchable" only charting at number 152.
Music video[edit]
The music video for "Untouchable" was directed by Marco Puig with post-production from The Mill.[20] Shot in a west London studio on 18 March 2009, the filming took sixteen hours.[21] Pictures of Girls Aloud in their "skimpy rubber" outfits for the music video were published in tabloid newspapers on 25 March 2009.[22][23] The video premiered on 25 March 2009 on 4music at 7:00pm GMT and was shown again at 11:05pm on Channel 4.[24] The "Untouchable" video was made available on MSN the following day.[25]
The futuristic video was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's classic science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey.[2] Girls Aloud appear in "sci-fi inspired PVC leotards",[26] travelling through space and approaching Earth in illuminated glass spheres (resembling meteorites). After the second verse, the words 'Alert: Condition Red' appear on the screen and the girls have trouble in their bubble-like orbs. They begin to plummet through Earth's atmosphere, with the spheres erupting in flames. Still burning, they pass an aeroplane and approach a city. The video ends with televisions showing the 'breaking news' as they hit the ground, with a reporter describing it as a "meteor shower" before turning to static.
Digital Spy lauded the "Untouchable" music video as "almost as exciting as the song itself."[27]
Live performances[edit]
The first performance of the song occurred at the Dancing on Ice semi-finals. Girls Aloud entered on wires suspended from the ceiling and performed the song whilst ice dancers Torvill and Dean skated around them.[28] Girls Aloud wore draped Grecian dresses. Smoke followed the group as they were lowered down on to individual podiums. As Nadine sang the final verse, Torvill and Dean were raised into the air on wires.[29] The song ended with an explosion of pyrotechnics. Torvill and Dean were criticised for "completely and utterly ruining the momentum and energy."[30]
"Untouchable" was one of the most significant performances of Girls Aloud's 2009 Out of Control Tour. The song is "performed over the crowd on a flying platform,"[31] which Girls Aloud use to travel to a smaller stage in the middle of the arena. Girls Aloud wear science fiction-inspired outfits, designed by Welsh fashion designer Julien MacDonald, along with the rest of the show's costumes.[32] The song was performed on 2013 Ten: The Hits Tour with the girls wearing sci-fi clothes under UV lights.

TAAG: Is low in the frame; soft and blurry nose at the full size. Recommend uploading at 1024 pixels or 1200 pixels. There is a yellow cast but may be OK due to taime of day. The glare in the front is a bit distracting, but again, passable for me. If you recenter the image, resize the image to 1200 pixels and add some sharpening, this image should be OK.
GOL 737 (PR-GEH) : Tought lighting. The front of the aircraft is overexposed while the rear is underexposed. Again, limit upload size to 1200 pixels since the quality is insufficient for a larger size.
GOL 737 (PR-GTB): Underexposed; colors are oversaturated; sky is noisy.Even at this small size, the quality is marginal. Not recoverable IMO.
AF 773: Underexposed (almost backlit). The fence is obstructing the landing gear; also horizontal stabilizer is clipped on the left side of the frame. Yellow color cast. Noisy sky. Not recoverable IMO.
Chopper: Underexposed; looking at the full sized image, it is blurry and noisy. Purple fringing is also visible. Also needs a tighter crop. Not recoverable IMO.
If your starting out in this hobby, try to compose images with the sun to your back, avoid times around noon (lighting is very harsh) and avoid zooming in too far unless you have very good lenses. As I mentioned, target image size to be 1200 pixels.

Has anyone used Calorad? What did you think? Were their claims accurate?

We all would like a quick fix but none of those diet supplements work in the long run. It just takes exercise and calorie counting. I learned the hard way. Bought the Acai berry pills and got charged $90 for them when they were supposed to be free. It took me an entire day to get it straightened out. Had to threaten to call the attorney general. Otherwise, I still would not have got my money back. So everyone out there, do not order the acai berry pills.
Don't bother with pills and quickie fixes. Go to SparkPeople.com Fantastic! I'm Sparking Right now!

I took the berry and cleanse/gained 15 lbs.I paid only the shipping cost canceled before they could bill me $90 dollars for each. I gain weight. Gail

Those who haven't owned a business tend to think businesses are built on mystical gut feelings that readily morph into bulging bank accounts, hot cars and holidays. Sure, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates did just fine by following their hunches, but the hype overshadows the massive amount of work it took to make Facebook and Microsoft successful.
Statistics on the failure rate of small businesses can be sobering. Conventional wisdom suggests that about half of small businesses (those with revenues under $30,000) survive after three years, while approximately a third survive after five years. To be sure, this category of business activity, also referred to as micro-enterprise, includes a lot of businesses that are simple to start and easy to jettison when something better comes up. The statistics deal with the most developmental business arena, where a lot of newbies cut their entrepreneurial teeth. It also includes a lot of drive-bys who jump in long enough to check out the self-employment scene, and bail out once they realize they're earning less than minimum wage.
Whatever else the high failure rate of new business tells us, it hints that success is more than blind luck. Some would characterize entrepreneurs as risk takers. While there's a bit of truth to this, successful business owners are not so much gamblers as they are effective risk managers.
One of the cornerstones to becoming an effective risk manager is to find a healthy balance between intuition and due diligence. Due diligence is the research needed to validate your hunches and clarify your business case. A business case is built on more than notions and dreams; it has to have a solid indication of demand for your goods, customers that are willing to pay the right prices, and a bulletproof plan for getting in front of customers.
New business owners can increase their chances of survival by doing due diligence in the following three ways.
1. Validate the Demand. To confirm demand for products or services, business owners will learn all they can about their customer's wants and needs. This education can come through a combination of reading, working in the target industry, conducting surveys, and most importantly, talking to customers.
2. Validate the Prices. When it comes to setting prices, there's no confidence builder quite as convincing as making sales. However, prior to making sales, entrepreneurs can learn about pricing by knowing what it costs to produce their goods, and by learning everything they can about the industry and in particular, the competitors. The Internet is by far the easiest source of information on prices.
3. Develop a Marketing Plan. Think of marketing as everything you will do to communicate to potential customers. Your marketing plan will detail how you'll get your goods in front of customers, including costs each marketing campaign or activity.
Business success is much more than a crap shoot, and much riskier than buying a lottery ticket. It's also true that business, managed effectively, is a surer path to success than gambling. And if you enjoy the work you do, it can also be fun getting there.
Gates and Zuckerberg are inspirations for us all, but don't be blinded by the hype. If you're feeling intuitive and lucky, buy a lottery ticket. If you want to build a successful business, by all means follow your instincts, but do your homework by validating your hunches before putting any significant investment on the line.

Advertising Age is inviting young creatives from around the world to design a global-themed cover for its June 13 issue -- and will award the winning designer a trip to the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity . The deadline has been extended to Thursday, May 12. That deadline is final and no entries can be accepted after May 12 in order to allow enough time for judging.
Ad Age 's Global Issue, published each June, focuses on the international advertising and marketing scene, multinational marketers and their strategies and how brands connect with consumers in regions around the world.

The design must incorporate a cover for the print edition of Ad Age , although submissions are not limited to the printed page and can include digital ideas, too. It can riff of the commonalities people share the world over, the way technology has bridged cultures and continents or the role of brands as they seek to enter new markets. The only criteria is the subject must be global in nature and the work must be good.
The winning design will appear on the cover of the June 13 issue of Ad Age , which will be distributed at the Cannes Lions festival, as well as on AdAge.com and Creativity -Online.com. The cover design will be featured on a billboard prominently displayed on the Croisette Boulevard in Cannes during the festival, June 19 to 25.
