Résumé :
Economy as a whole appears to have become the main field of confrontation in post 1989 Europe. While a few new EU members joined the Euro Zone and are being more and more integrated with 'old' Europe through the common currency, other State entities are showing some sort of scepticism with respect to a stricter political integration.
Détails :
Nearly four years ago, on 23rd May 2008, a conference on interwar conflicts in Europe took place in Brescia, sponsored by the Luigi Micheletti Foundation. Thanks to Evgenij Jurevič Sergeev, Česlovas Laurinavičius, Irene Guerrini, Marco Pluviano, Marta Verginella, and us, Davide Artico and Brunello Mantelli, a comprehensive picture of post 1918 conflicts involving the Baltic States, Russia, Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and Italy was provided. From the proceedings, a fairly successful book was published. Its hardcover Italian version, Da Versailles a Monaco: Vent'anni di guerre dimenticate, appeared in Turin in early 2010. A paperback English version, From Versailles to Munich: Twenty Years of Forgotten Wars, followed later on in the same year by a Wroclaw-based publisher.
Given the sound success of the first conference, the Micheletti Foundation declared their will to support still another event to be held in Brescia on 28th November 2008. Its main theme were conflicts in the late Forties, that is, in the latest phases World War II and immediately thereafter. Thanks to Juha Meriläinen, Grzegorz Michalik, Bogdan Popa, Vygantas Vareikis and, once more, us, a variety of sensible, meaningful examples was provided of how the thirty-year conflict for Continental supremacy, which had uninterruptedly gone on since Sarajevo 1914, was turned into a confrontation of a completely different kind. On the one hand, the rise of the United States and the Soviet Union as global Powers led to the forming of two only blocks, which cut Europe into separate halves, opposed to each other. On the other hand, the threat of mutual annihilation by the two blocks led to a significant shift in the fields of confrontation, with a much more significant stress on inner block cohesion. If Central Eastern Europe had been an actual battlefield in the previous era, now it was turned into a playground where confrontation had to be won through sports, medical advancement, and social peace supported by the Church. Armed conflicts did not disappear completely, still they were limited to the pacification of minorities inside the single State entities.
The proceedings of this second conference, along with a contribution by Alexander Friedman on 'popular' anti Semitism in Belarus, gave birth to a second publication, printed in Turin in late 2011: Ideologia e geopolitica all'ombra della Guerra fredda. Though no English version is being planned yet for lack of funding, its appearance in a next future cannot be excluded.
In the meantime, a third and final conference on European conflicts is being organised. The chronological turning point taken into consideration this time is the two-and-a-half-year-long crisis of the Communist Block, which began with the free parliamentary election in Poland in June 1989 and ended in December 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. The following two decades have shown a still different approach to the struggle for supremacy. While formally an heir to the USSR, the Russian Federation struggled for its economic and political survival till the very end of the 20th century. Later, it has never represented a direct military threat at Continental level, in spite of the originally unaccounted for expansion of the NATO till including former Warsaw Pact members, and even former Soviet Republics. Still, economic competition, especially on the energy market, can be (and it actually is) considered as a factor of tension in international relations involving Moscow.
Other supra national entities collapsed too, either in a violent manner (former Yugoslavia) or by mutual consent (former Czechoslovakia.) This initial trend was then reverted thanks to the wider scope taken by European integration projects in the late Nineties. Both Slovakia and the Czech Republic are now full EU-members, and Slovenia is soon to be joined by Croatia.
Economy as a whole appears to have become the main field of confrontation in post 1989 Europe. While a few new EU members joined the Euro Zone and are being more and more integrated with 'old' Europe through the common currency, other State entities are showing some sort of scepticism with respect to a stricter political integration. At times, this process has given birth to extreme right political movements, for instance in Poland and Hungary. While still unable to endanger the European construction, those movements point at the discomfort felt by large population areas going through pauperisation as a consequence of the neoliberal doctrines being dogmatically implemented in the EU. If in the first period, from the beginning of the First World War to the end of World War II, conflicts wore the 'fancy dress' (as we wrote in the first volume) of a clash of nationalities; if in the second period, that is the Cold War, geopolitical conflicts of a different kind were fought in the name of opposed ideologies; this latest period is witnessing conflicts within a politically and ideologically unified Europe where nationality is no longer an issue for mutual hostility. Rather, after 1989, we have faced as a Continent a sort of 'civil war' on economic grounds.
Transversal classes have struggled either for a still stronger primacy by financial capital holders or for the mere survival of the working and the lower middle classes as socially relevant agents.
This third conference, which is meant to show a strongly interdisciplinary approach, will be held in Turin in the fourth quarter of 2012. Besides scholars specialising in Contemporary History, researchers in the fields of Cultural Anthropology, Sociology and Political Science will be welcome.
Please submit a short abstract (some 1,000 characters) of your proposed paper, in English or Italian, by the end of May 2012. Chosen participants will be granted free accommodation and a partial reimbursement of travel costs. Should you not be in a position to personally take part in the conference, we request you to kindly suggest us which other scholars might be willing to do so.
Please address your answer to both us: artico.dawid..a..googlemail.com, brunello.mantelli..a..unito.it or prof.brunello.mantelli..a..gmail.com

Last year's changes are still rattling the world of SEO professionals. As of last September all Google Searches became "secure" and result in a "not provided" response from Google. Despite initial claims by Google that it would only affect a small percentage of overall analytics data for organic search, the reality is some sites were seeing well over 50 percent "(not provided)", particularly in sectors like technology where there is a higher likelihood that a visitor would be logged into their Google account as well.
Fast forward a year and now 95% of keywords being reported as "(not provided)", with that remaining 5 percent coming from non-Google searches. So why did Google do this and what does this mean in the long term for SEO professionals trying to decipher the analytics.
The "why" portion of this question, , , it can be answered by Search Engine Watch Group online. "There has been plenty of speculation, running wildly from "the NSA told them to" to "they did it to force people to buy more AdWords ads!" Tin foil hats aside, neither of those options make a good case for why Google made the secure search change." In reality Google has been moving toward steps to protect everyone's privacy and to prevent eavesdropping by government agencies for years.
What are some current workarounds to battle against the Google encryption.
- Look at Non-Google Keywords- Look at your non-Google search engine referral traffic. While Bing doesn't send a significant portion of traffic for a site will looking at overall search, you still can get an idea of what keywords are bringing traffic, particularly for sites that have significant amount traffic.
- Use Google Webmaster Tools- If you've gone this long without using Google Webmaster Tools, you will definitely want to sign up for it now. You can still get keyword data in Google Webmaster Tools, by clicking on Search Traffic > Search Queries, and yes, it does include search data from encrypted searches.
- Analyze On-Site Searches- You should capture all the on-site searches that visitors are doing on your site, so you can also get a better idea of exactly the keywords they are for.
- Look at Historical Data – But without the keyword data, you'll be stuck kind of guessing at the potential keywords that are bringing in people to a page on your site.
Whether we like it or not, Google's encrypted search is here to stay. We will continue our efforts to find new ways to work around the analytic problem. Read More

People can get pretty imaginative when it comes to putting motors in things and making them run. We've seen stuff like jet-powered go karts.
What we weren't expecting was to see a motorized bathtub tackling a hillclimb race. Hannes Roth is the guy who is crazy enough to come up with this.
We can't get over this little car (though, admittedly, we worry about what would happen if the car were to flip). And is the shower head not the greatest touch of all time?
The best part is that this isn't even the first time Hannes has done this either. Be sure to also check out the first video he and his bathtub appear in.

Excellent!!! I may be a bit biased, but I'm liking the looks of that black Cross Check!! Love the White hubs also.

Doug, what can I say? We have exquisite taste in bikes and their paint applications.
Watch out, before you know it I'll be spraying my mountainbike blue and bolting an Xtracycle on the back! (although I think I bought my Pug before you)

Excuse me? That's powder coated, not sprayed! ;)
And yes, you did have your Pugs long before I did.

I have a black surly cross-check myself... latest pic: http://flickr.com/photos/mmeiser2/2753700481/
and I use these exact same delgado rims... not on the cross check, but on my Fuji ss/fixie.
I think you were right to use the white industry hubs... I've still got some questions about the surly hubs. I just rebuilt my rear for the fuji. The bearings in the hub went after only 9 months... I think it might have been because the hub was a 120mm and my frame more like a 135mm. It's an old steel frame so it tightened down on the 120 hub fine, but perhaps not evenly... anyway, it's now a 135 surly hub. We shall see how it holds up. It may not have been a surly defect at all.
As for the rim... bomb proof... I never had to do so much as true it, and yesterday while tooling around I road over some sort of automotive hose with metal and rubber... which jumped into my spokes wrapped around my cogs and bent my fender stays so much that the fender locked down on the tire before I came to a stop.
I could not believe that it didn't break spokes or even knock the wheel out of true. I was furious because as mentioned i JUST rebuilt the thing... but am counting my blessings.
One final note... have you seen the new Salsa Fargo?
I'll probably get flagged by the blogger spam filter for posting three links.
I think it's going to be my next bike since I was already planning on getting a Karate Monkey... but I'm sort of freaking out because it doesn't look like I'll be able to get one before February. :( I may have to proceed with the Karate Monkey for now. :(

- Antoine said...
The Fargo would be just my kind of mountainbike if I didn't ride on the beach. I'm sold on 29ers for tall people and a 29er with drops, disc brakes and racks would be just perfect. I have seen people set up Karate-Monkeys that way (and you can use a hub gear) but the racks are a bit fiddly to fit with less braze-ons.

KESS Seminar – Social Welfare Issues Relating to Poverty
6th June 2018 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
1.30pm – RaISe – Welcome and Opening Remarks
1.45pm – Dr Mark Simpson (Ulster) – Protecting dignity, fighting poverty and promoting social inclusion in devolved social security
The protection of human dignity and poverty reduction are core functions of social security. Changes to working age benefits since 2010 have reduced claimants' incomes, putting more people at risk of poverty and arguably reducing the ability of the system to support a dignified standard of living. Human rights law has been used to challenge key policies and pressure has grown for a different approach in Scotland and Northern Ireland, resulting in Northern Ireland's mitigations programme and the devolution of new powers to Scotland. The Scottish Government has given a commitment to develop a devolved system on the basis of a distinctive set of principles, notably respect for the dignity of claimants, and plans to reinstate statutory targets for the reduction of child poverty. The Northern Ireland Executive has a legal duty to publish a strategy for tackling poverty and social exclusion. There are also proposals for enhanced protection of social and economic rights in both regions. These objectives could be undermined by benefit cuts. Limiting the child element of universal credit to two children per household is projected to increase child poverty and merits particularly close attention. Recent judicial reviews show senior judges are increasingly prepared to hold governments accountable for the impact of social security regulations on children's rights. It is therefore likely that this change will be challenged in the courts. However, the devolved regions need not wait for legal action. The two-child limit works against Scottish policy on child poverty, while Northern Ireland's larger average family size and higher rates of socio-economic disadvantage mean it will be among the most affected United Kingdom (UK) regions: parity in social security provision does not mean parity of living standards. Drawing on research for the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the seminar examines how social security system can protect dignity. It then assesses the impact of recent reforms in the UK, with a focus on child-related benefits. Finally, it suggests that dignity and child poverty can help devolved administrations identify priority areas where limited resources can be targeted to improve social security at the regional level.
2.05pm – Dr Paul McKenzie (Ulster) – Mapping Fuel Poverty Across Northern Ireland
Fuel poverty is a significant issue across Europe and a particular problem within the UK and Ireland. Fuel poverty occurs when insufficient funds are available to pay for a warm and comfortable home. Households affected by fuel poverty are at risk of physical and mental health difficulties and are linked with excess winter mortality. While strategies exist to reduce fuel poverty, there is a pressing need to allocate assistance to those most in need. As fuel poverty is influenced by various socio-economic indicators, an area-based targeting approach was developed to identify households most at risk of fuel poverty.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used to integrate variables that are key determinants of fuel poverty including temperature, the price of home heating oil, data on benefits (e.g. Disability Living Allowance) and deprivation. GIS enabled variables to be combined and weighted for each Census Output Area (COA) to create a fuel poverty risk score for every household in Northern Ireland.
This presentation highlights findings of research undertaken in relation to fuel poverty risk model, which received further funding from OFMDFM and the Department for Social Development (DSD) to liaise with local councils to determine the efficiency of the area-based model to identify those households most at risk. Questionnaires were conducted in partnership with 18 District Councils to identify the extent of fuel poverty within targeted COAs. The area-based approach proved very successful in identifying households at risk of fuel poverty.
The research found that the ability to combine, analyse and visualise many socio-economic datasets means that this technique is transferable to many other areas of application. This presentation explains that the approach enables planners and policy makers to visualise "at-risk" groups which in turn facilitates targeting of resources and assistance of those most in need. It also explains that the approach developed for fuel poverty has considerable potential for wider poverty mapping and research is currently underway at Ulster University on an area-based algorithm for mapping food poverty in Northern Ireland.
2.25pm – Discussion

I know it sounds like a bit of a change to then become an apprentice sales executive, but I'll be honest, I absolutely love cars and always have, so for me working with and surrounded by cars every day was my dream job.
The great thing for me has been the willingness to let me try out different roles within the dealership. I started as a trainee Sales Executive, but I didn't feel the role was a good fit for me, I moved to become a Sales Support Assistant which I enjoyed and I'm now working as a Sales Admin Assistant which is great too.
I feel fortunate to have found somewhere that's allowed me to find my niche and I really relish the fact that no two days are ever the same and everyone mucks in.
Swansway Group Head Office is just around the corner from Crewe Volkswagen, so we see quite a lot of the directors; John, Peter and David Smyth. When a Palmer Sport Race Track day came up as Chairman's Challenge prize, the directors knew it would be a dream day for me, so invited me to go along.
It was the best day ever for me and really sums up why I like my job and working for Swansway.

Boston Engineering named in top 10 Robotic Business in Massachusetts
Being showcased as one of the top ten reflects and recognizes the significant amount of expertise, focus, and game-changing technologies that Boston Engineering has worked hard to bring to its customers, both commercial and government.
BOSTON, April 30, 2013 -- Boston Engineering Corporation has been named on the list of Top 10 Robotics Business in Massachusetts by Mass High Tech.
Boston Engineering ranked No. 10 in the compilation of New England's largest robotics employers with 45 fulltime employees. The Waltham, Mass.-based company is a full service firm that develops and integrates robotic systems into product and equipment designs including the GhostSwimmer, a biomimetic autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) that employs the mechanics and dynamics of a biological fish.
Mass High Tech compiled a list of robotic businesses to promote organizations during the fourth annual National Robotics Week held in early April. The council showcased robotics technologies from more than 30 different New England organizations and educators - including Boston Engineering.
The listing is featured in this month's TechFlash eNewletter (www.masshightech.com).
Being showcased as one of the top ten reflects and recognizes the significant amount of expertise, focus, and game-changing technologies that Boston Engineering has worked hard to bring to its customers, both commercial and government. It also recognizes the company's hard work -- and often in obscurity -- to become and to remain a leader in robotics and complex electromechanical systems development.
Although historically the company's robotics' audience has been the United States Department of Defense and Homeland Security, Boston Engineering is expanding to other areas including medical surgery-assist robots, oil and gas field robotics, and more.
"Robotics is a major focus for our company going forward and rightfully so," said Michael Rufo, Director, Principal Engineer and Roboticist. "This is a burgeoning market which is only now starting to see its potential come to fruition. The future commercial and government markets will include heavy amounts of robotics across many fields and must be addressed by U.S. companies not only to better people's living conditions and health or safety of first responders, etc., but also to remain competitive in the world business markets of the future."
Robotics is a major initiative within the company, Rufo said. The technology represents a significant field/market the company is addressing. Robotics contains the components of what will be required for successful engineering in the future in all fields due to the highly integrated nature of today's and tomorrow's products in terms of mechanical, electrical and software elements all being contained therein.
"We are honored to be included with such prestigious company," said Bob Treiber , President of Boston Engineering. "I am excited that Mike and his team are getting the recognition they deserve after all their hard work on this innovative technology that will ultimately save countless American lives."
Robotics is just one of the system approaches to engineering that the company offers. Boston Engineering also provides engineering services in the fields of Medical Devices, Industrial Electronics, Electromechanical Systems, Defense Systems and Sensors, Product Development, Commercialization, and more.
Boston Engineering, headquartered in Waltham, Mass., is a technology driven, customer oriented engineering services firm that provides its services to customers nationwide.

Possibly the most commonly sought after tip of all time. Every family today wants to save money. Of course, a family could trim expenses by purchasing less throughout the year, reducing leisure activities, or cancelling cable television subscription. None of these options are very fun. That's why a company like Uncle Bill's Hillcrest Plumbing can be a great partner in this process. Everybody wants to know how to save money, so we wrote an article on how to save money for your household.
If your pipes are producing sound (both high and low), then you may be in trouble. Pipes that produce audible sound is a sure sign that the system needs maintenance. Causes of noisy pipes range from pipes that are loose, water logged air chambers, or high water pressure. You can remedy noisy pipes by anchoring them inside walls, floors or ceilings. Call Hillcrest Plumbing today for professional assistance.
Faucets and toilets are staples in any household, but what model or type is right for your home? What is the difference between a high efficiency faucet and a faucet aerator? We discuss water conservation and plumbing fixtures on our blog article "The Best Plumbing Fixtures for Water Saving."
You know that sound produced when you turn off a faucet very quickly? That sound can get louder over time, and it can indicate a loose pipe in your system, or high water pressure. You should promptly turning on the tap usually found at the highest point on your property and remove the air from the pipes.
Leaking shower head is possibly the most common plumbing problem of all time, right next to clogged toilets! This problem is so common that Hillcrest plumbers wrote an article devoted entirely on solving this problem. Save time and money and learn how to DIY with our guide to fixing a dripping shower head.
Facing higher than average water bills? That may be a sign of a leaking pipe in your system. Inspect your pipes and check to see if you hear the sound of running water when water is turned off. Should you suspect a leak, check with your water meter, and then call a professional to get this problem solved right away.
If you are experiencing a low water pressure in your shower, it may be due to the accumulation of debris and other waste substance that has clogged your shower head. Such problems commonly result due to a lack of proper and thorough flushing of the lines prior to the installation of the shower. There are a few basic steps you can take to fix this problem. Check out our guide on how to improve water pressure in your shower.
During cold seasons, keep a lookout for frozen pipes. If your faucets are not producing running water at normal pressure, then you can suspect that some part of your pipe may be frozen. If your pipe is frozen, you can thaw them by running water through the faucet at a steady pace. It is important that you thaw the pipes as soon as possible, to prevent the possibility of it bursting. If water is not running through your faucet, call a professional plumber in Vancouver immediately. The last thing you want is a bursted pipe.

Dave (Charles Hasbrouck) began his radio career working weekends at Lakeland's beautiful music WVFM while enrolled as a student at the University of South Florida in Tampa. After adjusting his college class schedule to enable him to work additional hours, he joined WPLA in Plant City (as Dave Ralston) in 1969 and eventually went full time with the station.
For a six-month period in 1971, Dave left WPLA to become program director for Lakeland's new WQPD, but returned to his Plant City post until leaving to do mornings at Tampa's WQYK in 1974. The next year, he was doing mornings at Lakeland's WONN, owned at that time by NBC Sports personality Joe Garagiola.
In 1977, word was on the street that Cypress Gardens' 50,000 watt giant, WGTO, was going to flip to a country music format and Dave was approached to handle mornings and the position of music director. They also wanted him to change his on-air name from "Ralston" to "Campbell" because they thought it sounded more country. He agreed, and that name change would remain with him for the rest of his radio career.
When Hubbard Broadcasting, WGTO's owner, announced in 1986 that they were selling the station and that the country music format was being replaced with religious programming, Dave started looking around to see if there were openings at any other area stations. As luck would have it, he landed the mid-day slot at WVFM in Lakeland, the station where he had started his radio career almost 20 years earlier. After almost two years there, he returned to WPLA in 1988 just in time to become an original on-air sports/talk host when the station flipped to Sportsradio 910 WFNS, Tampa Bay's first all-sports station, in 1990. Following a hitch with Lakeland's WLKF from 1994 to 1996, he left the radio business altogether.
Today (2007) Dave operates a small home-based business that serves the mortgage industry, and is completing work on his Master's degree in Mass Communications from the University of Central Florida.

Sports betting has become a practice by many while enjoying their favorite game. With the ease of the web, set your bets in sports outcome may also be done online these days but of course, it is important to understand that placing money in the outcome of sports might be illegal in certain states and places, thus make sure you are permitted to bet on sports in your area. People around the world spend billions of dollars betting on the results of the favourite sporting event. Big fans of particular sports bet just for the fun of it, but there are professional sports bettors that make sports gambling as their main source of income. But it does not matter what kind of bettor you might be, both of these kinds of bettors have one thing in mind, and that's for their best to win. So because of this, a lot of people who are engaged in online sports betting want to discover how can they be able to increase the chance of their very best to win. Winning in an online sports betting involves several elements. Are you looking for bet365 android app? Go to the earlier described website.
A much better should carefully consider these factors for him or her to have a fantastic chance of winning. There are numerous expert advice available online that can help you become a professional online sports bettor. Some of this expert advice includes a minimal fee, however there are others who are given at no cost. So below are several suggestions which you can use in order for you to win and have fun in online sports betting. Among the main factors when betting on sports on the internet is none other than the knowledge of the full game. One must know how the betting procedure works and learn about the sports betting lines and the various types of odds that should be followed. There are a few online sports betting websites that provide the bettors several tools which could be used to assess the game so that you can make the best choice in whichever sports you'll be betting. Aside from being knowledgeable about the system and the whole sport where you'll be gambling, it would still be important that you keep in mind to bet wisely.
Some online sports gambling sites have a cash management system that can help the bettors track their cash so they won't bet more than what they would like to lose. One more important thing that bettors must have is learning how to control their feelings or emotions. Do not let your emotions get in your way.

But what's important is that you remain calm even if you lose, because the point of this game is to get more wins than losses. This is also true when you're in a winning streak, as most bettors become more aggressive and spontaneous. Always remember that don't place a bet because you just feel good about it. You must always make certain it is indeed a fantastic bet. Otherwise, you'll just lose your money. The key to winning in an online sports betting is to get a good system of betting and assessing each match.

Savannah Rescue
We have recently taken in an animal that was hit by a car who required surgery to repair the damage to his leg. He was living in an area where wolfdogs are illegal. His story is lengthy and complicated, and can be read in much more detail on our website. His surgery was not inexpensive, mostly due to this poor animal going for weeks without the treatment he needed to repair his broken leg. Nancy has set up a Chip In account to collect funds for his bills, which can be found on our website. You may also donate via the PayPal link on our Donations page, or by sending a check either to us our to our vet, Animals R Us, 725 Crest Rd. Flat Rock, NC 28731 (please reference FMF and the Savannah Rescue). We are grateful for any and all assistance. Thank you.

This month, it's Cody and Meisha!
Cody and Meisha are two of the South Carolina animals. They were initially paired up down there, and are completely devoted to each other. Cody is a big ol' goofball, who is very happy for attention. On occasion, he likes to think that he's a lapdog, which is very cute. Unless it's your lap, and you're not properly balanced. He means well, though.
Meisha is a bit on the shy side. She has started to warm up to some of our volunteers. We thought she was expecting when she arrived, but it ended up being a uterine tumor. The tumor was removed, and after she recovered, she was moved into a pen with Cody. She has been doing very well post-surgery.
We love watching these two play. They are very adorable, and a lot of fun to watch. They're even more fun when they play with you!

Hellos and Goodbyes
Say hello to Daegan! He comes to us from a shelter in Chesapeake, VA. He was picked up as a stray in an area where wolfdogs had recently become illegal. No one came forward to claim him. The shelter would only release him to a sanctuary. He's still a bit shy, but is very handsome. We're hoping that he settles in and warms up to us soon. His name means "black haired" in Gaelic, and he was named by a supporter who is now his sponsor. Nancy would like to evaluate him and see about placing him, as he had been a pet.
Sadly, we had to send sweet Misty over the Rainbow Bridge. She had broken out yet again with her autoimmune disease. (The pattern was, she would get well for about six weeks, then break out again. It would then take weeks or months to make her well again, only to have her break out again.) The drugs used to treat her condition, in combination with her suppressed immune system, took a toll on her liver. With her last breakout, Nancy learned Misty's immune system was gone, and with it, her chances of a recovery. The kindest thing to do at that point was to euthanize her. She was laid to rest in our cemetery. We all miss her terribly.

Here's the story: Carol Brady's headed to Samantha Who?!
Sources confirm to me exclusively that iconic Brady Bunch matriarch Florence Henderson has been tapped to play grandma to Christina Applegate's title character this January.
Gram comes to town to help settle an argument between Sam's mom (Jean Smart) and aunt (Christine Ebersole). As TVGuide.com reported earlier this week, Auntie's a little miffed because her sister used Sam's amnesia as an opportunity to forget about her sibling's existence.
Enter the peace keeping, conflict resolving machine that is one Mrs. Brady.

So another aspiring rap star cut down too early... And how else is he supposed to get money?
Quote:A Miami woman shot and killed a teenage home intruder last week, authorities said. Now, relatives of the teen are saying she acted unjustly and should be prosecuted.
Trevon Johnson, 17, burglarized the home of a 54-year-old old woman last Thursday, according to Miami-Dade police.
The woman woman told police that she was not home when the break-in occurred, but her surveillance system alerted her that there was an intruder. She said she rushed home and found the teen climbing out of a window.
"She observed a subject leaving the home through the rear," police Detective Dan Ferrin told WFOR-TV.
A confrontation then took place, according to police, and shots were fired. Police said they were on scene seconds after the shooting and performed CPR on the teen. Johnson was then rushed to the hospital where doctors pronounced him dead.
"What's wrong with her?" Johnson's sister Nisha Johnson asked. "She did not have to shoot him."
Johnson told WFOR her brother was a student at D. A. Dorsey Technical College. She and other relatives are outraged by the shooting.
Nautika Harris says she is outraged by her cousin's death.
"I don't care if she have her gun license or any of that. That is way beyond the law … way beyond," Johnson's cousin Nautika Harris told WFOR. "He was not supposed to die like this. He had a future ahead of him. Trevon had goals … he was a funny guy, very big on education, loved learning."
"You have to look at it from every child's point of view that was raised in the hood," Harris continued. "You have to understand … how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point of view."
Thus far, police appear to be siding with the homeowner who they say was protecting her property.
"She's a person that is a little distraught because this is her home that someone obviously was in," Ferrin said.
Police said the woman was taken to a police station for questioning and has cooperated with detectives.
Investigators told WFOR that they are still investigating the incident, but in the meantime, they want the public to remember that, if possible, it is best not to take these types of situations into one's own hands.
"If there's any type of situation that happens or they believe there's a burglary at the home or any type of confrontation, dial 911. Have the police make that confrontation," Ferrin said. "That's what we're here for."
The case has been handed over to state attorney's office, but so far, no charges have been filed against the homeowner.
"It's no reason she should have waited until I think he walked out the yard to try to shoot him," Harris said. "If she called the police already, why would she shoot him?"
Relatives told WFOR they don't believe Johnson stole anything from the woman's home, but detectives would not confirm that.
So another aspiring rap star cut down too early... And how else is he supposed to get money?

Retired, future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez was paid well during his NFL career. He believes that he should have been paid even better.
Gonzalez argues in a column posted at the CBS Sports website that NFL players should be compensated based on their production, not their position. He points out that, in sports like baseball and basketball, significant production should trigger significant pay, regardless of the position a player plays.
Gonzalez ultimately argues that the NFLPA should make pay for production not position a "top priority" in the next CBA negotiation. If that happens, the owners will welcome that discussion.
Per a league source, owners have wanted the system to shift for years. Currently, the market is set by position, with some average players at a position deemed to be critical (like quarterback) paid more than they would get in a pure meritocracy. And rookies get paid based strictly on when they were drafted.
Take Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, for example. Does he really deserve $22.5 million this year? Or did he benefit from a system that values quarterbacks and forces teams to pay the one they have because it may be too hard to find another as good as the average one they fear losing to another team?
The fairest system would provide a minimum salary for every player and would create a giant pot of money to be distributed by an independent panel that would consider statistics and film study and other stuff that the league and union would agree upon.
Whatever the system, the teams will find a way to work it to their advantage. They always do. And of all the potential systems, one that ensures only the best players will be paid the most money would be the best framework for the league — and possibly for the players.

Abigail I want you in my dreams.
Abigail As doting as it seems.
I just can't think about
Anyone or thing else but you
What you can't see
Is painfully clear to me
I have no one
And cannot accept our love's end
Abigail I want you in my dreams
Abigail Your soul I do esteem
And I can't imagine being
Without you one second more
What you can't see
Is painfully clear to me.
I have nothing
And cannot accept your hatred
Abigail I want you in my dreams.
Abigail I want you to be mine.
And as crazy as it seems,
I just need to be here with you.

Green Jobs - The Future is Now
Every morning I wake up to more bad economic news--increasing concern that we're entering a recession, the credit crunch, and increases in energy prices.
And yet one industry is seeing growth despite the down times. The renewable energy industry is growing at a record pace. According to the American Wind Energy Association, the U.S. wind power industry installed 5,244 megawatts in 2007, expanding the nation's total wind power generating capacity by 45% in one year and injecting an investment of more than $9 billion into the economy.
The solar industry added more than 300 megawatts of capacity last year, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. From the Wall Street Journal article cited above, "(Solar power) [a]dditions are expected to roughly double this year. Large commercial solar installations now exceed home installations in California, reversing a long-term pattern and likely a bellwether for other states."As the industry grows, more people will be needed to manufacture the wind turbine and solar panel components, and more installers will be required. According to a study from the Blue-Green Alliance (a partnership between the Sierra Club and the United Steelworkers) and the Renewable Energy Policy Project, requiring that 20% of our electricity come from renewable sources by 2020 would create 820,000 jobs across the country.
Despite the lack of significant government investment or support, training for those jobs is already underway in some places. Look at Van Jones' "Green for All" initiative - aimed at securing $1 billion in funding for green-collar job training in order to lift 250,000 people out of poverty across the country. . Another example is the White Earth Land Recovery Project , which is training the youth of Minnesota's White Earth Reservation in solar panel installation and weatherizing homes in that community.
Still another example is Lane Community College (LCC) in Eugene, Oregon. The college's Energy Management Program (with a Renewable Energy Technician Option) is growing quickly as demand increases for people trained in improving building and home energy efficiency and in renewable energy systems. Roger Ebbage, the program's director, says that the need for efficiency and renewable energy technicians will continue to grow because there are so many buildings in need of upgrades.
All of these programs are examples of people saying, "We can do it!" and making a decision to move toward a clean energy future. These are such great examples of positive thinking and being proactive - just think about how much more we can do if we all work together.
Inspired by these boot-strapping advances and hoping to incite even more action, the Blue-Green Alliance is holding a Green Jobs Conference on March 13 and 14 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The conference brings together people from faith communities, union leaders, renewable energy companies, government officials, activists, environmental organizations, college professors, and many others - all to discuss the many facets of the "green collar" job industry. Registration ends Monday, March 3, so sign up now!
UPDATE: Hundreds have already registered and the registration deadline has been extended until March 7! Sign up now!

This action on the part of seventy percent of the chauffeurs might not be absolutely due to bad driving. Book Your Cab Now An unusually high percentage of motorists struggle with sleep deprivation! They will tell you that this is due to the fact that of the additional long hours that they need to work (to get a tip from you) but numerous do certainly doze whilst you are sitting behind them. In one taxi I was sort of trying to read my newspaper with my head wagging backwards and forwards when suddenly I saw that I might read my paper. Book Your Cab in Melbourne City, I imply that all of an unexpected I was not being thrown around as the driver applied the gas and break in rapid succession. This was odd and unusual however I accepted it as another peculiarity of the industry.
Unusual! I had another bad event in a taxi when he started to get aggressive against a football group and he spent more time trying to climb over the back of his seat, to enhance his viewpoint than looking where he was going. I got extremely concerned about him and chose that I must leave his taxi as rapidly as possible. I leapt out at an intersection and chose that I would not pay for such a trip. I might hear him yelling as I fled down the difficult shoulder however I do not wish to pay to be bugged.
Apart from all the above the typical taxi journey passes without note. Best Taxi Service Melbourne A few of the chauffeurs will seriously irritate you or make you feel ill when they open their door and spit a big gob onto the roadway side. However this is the manner in which they do it.
Sorry, I seem to be putting them down. Melbourne City to Melbourne Airport Service the taxi system and the motorists are quite excellent and safe in Melbourne and no less than other town or city the world over. When hiring a taxi in Melbourne you are made sure of a rapid and free journey to your destination and the expense is not excessive, you are safe and cared for at all times. One thing does puzzle me though, that of why the chauffeurs continuously ask the travelers which method they would like to go. Having actually simply shown up in Melbourne I get a taxi at the rank simply outside the Melbourne airport. I provide him the name of the hotel and off he sets. After five-minutes this driver will inevitably turn around and ask me whether I would like to go by the PIE or by the East Coast Roadway. Stupid concern actually as the average individual getting to Melbourne Airport transfer service and especially one who is going to a hotel would not have an idea about the transportation system in Melbourne.
I utilized to believe that the drivers where evaluating their guests regarding their knowledge of Melbourne Taxi and that if they showed ignorance then they would be carted off on a tour of the city without understanding any distinction. But this has not held true as I have frequently put it to the test. The motorist has actually asked me and I have actually given him no inkling regarding my knowledge of the city and he has taken me the quickest route. Such is life the Cabby in Melbourne are of exceptional quality and any potential traveler is guaranteed of an easy, safe and smooth-drive to their location.
I think these drugs might have alternative side effects. I have observed on some occasions that chauffeurs are a bit high perky. Now whether this a result of the drugs that starts a couple of hours later on or due to something that is totally eliminated I understand not. I am just trying to make a connection as when the chauffeurs take their "keep awake pills" absolutely nothing happens.

Last week I announced my new YouTube channel The Fashionista Chronicles I'm doing with my friend Josie. Every Thursday she and I will be brining you a new episode covering topics in fashion, beauty and lifestyle. I decided every Tuesday I'll do a post on my show makeup and outfit to give you a behind the scenes sneak peek for the current weeks episode.
For this week's outfit I wanted to show you how to mix and match high end with low-end items and still look good. The dress was actually gifted to me by Josie and I absolutely love it! I'm really into long flowy dresses that give off a boho vibe. This dress is very lightweight with delicate spaghetti straps. Which makes it perfect end of summer attire. The dress is really wide so I added a wide belt to synch my waste and create a nice silhouette. To keep with the whole Boho vibe I stuck with a pair of black flip-flops. I didn't want to wear heels because I wanted to keep the look simple.
To add some fabulousness to my outfit I paired it my Medina Bib Necklace from Stella and Dot. It retails for $89 but it's such a beautiful statement piece that I get a lot of use out of.

Stocks to Watch: UBS, Netflix and More
By Corrie Driebusch and Caitlin Nish
Among the companies whose shares are expected to actively trade in Thursday's session are UBS, Netflix and more.
UBS was rocked early Thursday by its disclosure that a rogue trader racked up about $2 billion in losses, an announcement that came hours after British police arrested a man on suspicion of fraud. American depositary shares of UBS fell 9.9% to $11.42 in recent premarket trading.
Netflix lowered its third-quarter domestic subscriber estimates but backed its decision to separate DVD-rental and movie-streaming services, saying the decision was "the right long-term strategic choice." Shares dropped 15% to $176.51 premarket as the video renter said the decision to split its services has upset many subscribers, but it believes the split will improve global streaming services and help grow revenue.

When looking for the right windows for your home, it is a good idea to look at Harvey Windows reviews so you get a good idea what you would receive in terms of windows if you worked with that company. There are lots of different windows under the Harvey name. Take a look at what customers say about each and go from there.
Harvey Windows Reviews Table of Contents
- Replacement windows Reviews
- Vigilance
- Acoustic
The Harvey Tribute window is the top of the line triple pane window. It has a lot of features like the lock and tilt latch. It also has double strength glass, double low-E and UV protection. It is even a self cleaning window. Though the window sounds good, some consumers are saying that all Harvey did was come out with a low cost triple pane window to allow stores to charge more for it. The window, overall, is a decent product, but there have been issues with scratches between panes and the self-cleaning aspect, while a great sales pitch, does not really work. The window might stay a bit cleaner, but it will not refrain from collecting dirt ever. Customers do not think the self-cleaning portion is worth the extra money and say that many high end window companies offer this feature with better grades. For the money, the tribute window is decent. It looks nice and is effective and well constructed.
The classic line is less expensive and comes with a 10 year paint warranty and a 20 year glass warranty. The double hung replacement windows come in a variety of styles and colors and can meet many homeowner's needs. The construction causes this window to be very energy efficient so you can expect to cut energy costs in your home. These windows work well if you need custom shapes and sizes as well. They have a ten year warranty and a ledge that sits in the room so you can set things along them if you'd like.
The slimline windows are a step down from the classic. They have a good glass package and are very nice looking. They do not have triple pane glass, but they can be installed by independent contractors fairly easily. These windows aren't bad and many customers are satisfied with what they get. However, there are other products out there around the same level with similar or lesser prices that are better all around. The Slimline windows are rather generic, which makes them fit in anywhere, but does not get you the best quality you could have.
If you have a window area that constantly has broken glass, you might consider the impact-resistant Vigilance windows. These were designed with coastal buildings in mind, but they are also good if you live on a golf course and see other strenuous issues around your home. These windows are high in performance and come in a range of lines ups like casement, picture windows, awning and more. They can be put into new constructions or as replacement windows.
The acoustic windows are a popular product that have a wide range of vinyl options. You may get a smaller price on these windows than you would from local companies because the larger manufacturer can give you a better capacity. These windows help to keep the noise levels down, but some customers say that they do not work well. They are acoustic due to the double pane window with a storm window. The company says the installation is the cause but customers are not satisfied that the acoustic portion of the window works for noise reduction. The windows look nice, however, and are tightly sealed.

Horrible service and support. West Coast office and if you are on the east coast don't hold your breath on getting any support before 11:00am-12:00pm EST. Nothing but trouble since the system was put in. Do your self a favor and spent the extra money on Ring Central or some other provider that does it all.
We needed to move to another solution that had more of the features we needed. Instead of letting us end the agreement, they tried to charge us thousands to cancel since they auto renewed our contract for another 3 years. We reached out over a dozen times to try to get this resolved. We ended up talking to 4 different people and we never got to speak to a manager even after several requests. We are shocked at the lack of care after being long time customers. We miss the salesman they used to have, Steve, who actually seemed like he wanted us to succeed.
Excellent customer service. We received services that was promised. Active since 05/10/2017 Port in our numbers was done with no pressure on our business activities. Voice mail boxes was setup same day as well as caller ID and all other features which were promised. They are very creative and very well aware and trained of functionality of their services and software which it makes them very different than large service providers. They are very active to solve any outstanding issues that may need attentions. Cut our bill to half and gained new features to better conduct our business. Great team of professionals to know and work with.

Elin Nordegren Is Out Of Hiding! She Was Spotted Jogging In Sweden!
Not even the paparazzi could come between Elin and her exercise plan!
Elin Nordegren, 30, seems to be enjoying her time in Sweden, now that Tiger Woods has given her permission to take their children — Sam, 2, and Charlie, 1 — along with her. Photographers spotted the soon-to-be-single mom going for a run in her home country May 1.
We already told you that Tiger and Elin's are headed for divorce, but recent reports paint an even darker picture of the state of their marriage than we thought! The latest shocker was that Tiger reportedly told his wife he'd slept with 120 women, including their young neighbor, Rachael Coudriet!

Paul's mountain marathon
25 July 2013When Paul Armstrong's mother, Pat, died from pancreatic cancer on Paul's 50th birthday in April 2012, he made the decision to raise money for PCRF and test his own physical endurance with a mountainous challenge.
Munros are Scottish mountains over 3,000 feet tall and Paul, a keen hill walker, planned to scale as many Munro summits as possible within a 120 hour timescale, travelling entirely on foot and carrying all his own supplies. Paul endured months of training, including walking, running, weight loss and route planning to cover the maximum number of Munros, before beginning his challenge on 5 July.
Accompanied by his father as support, Paul made the long journey north from Langham in Essex to Scotland. "I thought I was prepared for anything, but the weather threw everything at me, from lashing rain to scorching sun," he says. In fact, Paul's communications equipment – phone, solar charger and camera - got so wet that he took one day out of his schedule to dry it all out in order to remain in contact with the outside world - "and so my family didn't call out Mountain Rescue to find me," he jokes.
Losing that day had the knock-on effect that Paul could not climb as many Munros as he had intended, but he still managed 29 summits over the course of the four days – a great achievement in itself. Being alone in the hills and pitching his tent on all terrain and in all weathers meant that Paul experienced a variety of emotions during his journey, but there was a particularly poignant moment among the physical exertions. "About halfway through my challenge, I received a call out of the blue from my father, to tell me that he was sitting near the top of Mum's favourite mountain, where we had jointly scattered her ashes - with Estate permission - the previous year," he recalls. "That really spurred me on at a low point in my walk."
His sister-in-law, Vicky, kept Paul's supporters updated on his progress by posting on a specially-created Facebook page and Paul made sure that he took as many photos as possible to document his trip. "I did enjoy the challenge, but the weather conditions made it hard at times – as the photos on my Facebook page show," he says. "But, apart from some blisters, I'm in good shape and even considering more fundraising adventures."
Paul's hoping to raise as much money as possible for PCRF. If you'd like to donate, please visit: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=MM120
