Mergers and acquisitions take place for various different reasons including increasing shareholders wealth, reduction in costs with an increase in earnings per share, increase in liquidity, restructure the organization, and penetrate international space. Specifically, mergers and acquisition activity has seen an increase in U.S. firms and international companies transacting mergers to gain access into new markets (Block & Hirt, 2005). One example of an international merger is Sony Japan and MGM in 2004 which allowed the companies to combine their home video business. This paper will highlight the pros and cons of merging, factors used in determining the price paid and realized benefits, the effect the merger had on the stock prices, the capital structure, and four international financial management issues that must be addressed and ways for the companies to protect themselves.
Mergers and acquisitions are processes of acquiring new assets by buying and taking over other businesses or by merging with them.
Like any type of business activity, there are pros and cons for both mergers and acquisitions. Some of the pros include: the potential to add value to a company's bottom line, the potential to increase a market share, and the potential to add assets to a company's holdings. While M&A's have several pros, they also have several cons. Some of the cons include bad public reaction to hostile takeovers, resistance from the targeted company and the acquisition of additional liabilities and problems (Block & Hirt, 2005).
There are two main types of acquisitions, a share purchase and an asset purchase. In a share purchase acquisition a company will buy shares of a target company from its shareholders. By doing this it gains equity in the target company merging the two companies together. The second type of acquisition is an asset purchase. In an asset purchase the...

Twenty Random Thoughts #260414
1. Steamboat seems fun when you first start, but ends up getting pretty torturous at the end.
2. It's fun being a photographer/videographer, but the capital that you need to raise before being able to freelance professionally can feed an entire village for a month. Might be better to start off as a Youtuber first
3. Minecraft: Where every player can be divided into designers, engineers and people who probably shouldn't be playing Minecraft. I'm in the third. So I got relegated to build roads
4. Life: Where you spend the majority of time regretting about the actions that you have done
5. If we are all able to spend time in virtually simulated environments, we probably wouldn't want to leave
6. If you are going to spend all your time worrying about religion and who is right versus who is wrong, you will never progress. Take Malaysia for example and the latest fiasco with the hudud
7. Internet dating seemed to be fun, it allows you to meet so many people at any one time, but there seems to be a very huge taboo associated with it. It's like when you tell people you're thinking of trying internet dating, and everyone is like "You are that desperate to try that?". I find that confusing, given how people normally use the expression that there are other fishes in the sea, but if you're gonna sulk at one corner, how are you going to find all those fishes? Hope that one will drop by next to you? Now that's wishful thinking.
8. And surprisingly, of all the people I've chatted with (yes I admit that I have been trying apps like Paktor), almost everyone seemed to have at least a polytechnic diploma or university degree. Which was quite surprising, to be honest. Not as bad as how some painted it to be
9. Inadvertently stumbling unto pictures of you and your ex can inadvertently bring up a short pang of heartache
10. Passion. Where you need to constantly add fuel to it to keep it burning
11. Work without passion is dead boring
12. People who have high pay complain of their job being stressful, but people with meaningful jobs complain about their job being lowly paid. It's hard to find someone who has it all balanced. If you are one of the balanced ones, NEVER leave your job
13. How fun would life be if it allows you to relive your past again, and allows you to correct the mistakes that you have made. Or try out another path in life
14. But then again that wouldn't be called life, it would merely be reloading your save files
15. Responsibility: The one thing that we all cannot see when we say that we cannot wait to grow up when we're still children
16. Facebook: The excellent place for you to experience how jealousy feels like. Also a place where you attempt to make others jealous of you
17. Never trust a shop that attempts to advertise itself as "King" of something. A person who often finds the need to boast may have very little credence to back it up
18. Psychologists: Where we are widely mistaken to be able to read other people's mind, but the truth is we may be just as confused (sometimes even more) than everyone is
19. Unpaid leaves somehow gets more painful as your salary increases
10. Transcendence, why must you have such bad reviews even before I had a chance to give you a chance?

Jeremy Allison, best known as co-lead of the Samba project, has quit Novell in protest at the company's recent partnership with Microsoft.
Allison told Novell in a resignation letter leaked to Groklaw that he believes the deal violates the intent of the GPL license under which GPL is released, specifically the implicit promise "to treat all recipients of the code equally."
He cites a memo to management he wrote recently:
"We can pledge patents all we wish, we can talk to the press and 'community leaders', we can do all the right things w.r.t. all our other interactions, but we will still be known as GPL violators and that's the end of it."
Allison acknowledges that the deal may not be a technical violation of the GPL, but says it's poor form to base a deal around a loophole.
"Do you think that if we'd have found what we legally considered a clever way around the Microsoft EULA so we didn't have to pay for Microsoft licenses and had decided to ship, oh let's say, "Exchange Server" under this "legal hack" that Microsoft would be silent about it - or we should act aggr[i]eved when they change the EULA to stop us doing this?" he asks.
His departure isn't entirely unexpected. An open letter penned by the Samba Team in the wake of the deal expressing its disapproval - see Take your covenant and shove it - Samba tells Novell can now be assumed to bear his imprimatur.
Allison took over the role of Open Source liaison at Hewlett Packard from Bruce Perens. He joined Novell in April 2005, four years after leaving VA Linux Systems. ®

The Country We All Grew Up In Is Dead!
Send Letters to email@example.com
Letter from Scott Bieser of Big Head Press
Letter from Mimbreno Chiricahua
Another Letter from E.J. Totty
Re: "H.R. 6166 Military Commissions Act of 2006"
My heart is aching. Our founding fathers' great dream is dead. It took us only 230 years or so to kill it. Make no mistakethe terrorists didn't kill it. We did. Yesterday we proved we are a small frightened people who don't believe in the very principles this country was founded onwe threw this country's principles away in fear of a weak pusillanimous enemy. In doing so, we joined his ranks. We are cowards of the worst kindwe beat our chests and trumpet our superiority while throwing aside our beliefs in the assumption that by lightening our load we will make it to safety. But our beliefs are what gave this country strength; we threw away the best part of us. The mighty oak has been proven to have a hollow core.
We've also put a hex on our children and their children. They will be fighting a much stronger enemy. For every single innocent Muslim we capture and torture, there will be hundreds of enemies created. How many family members will those Muslims have? How many friends? Every one of them will hate us, as will their children.
This is my last post on this board. While there are lots of shiny honorable people here, there are others I've completely lost any desire to talk to. I've lost all respect for them. In addition, there's a fight out here in the real world that I need to become a part of. My time will be better spent in that fight. I urge all of you who are horrified by what this country has become to join that fight. Let's pull this beautiful country out of the gutter.

The Broach Goes On-Line
The Probability Broach: The Graphic Novel, the 2004 graphic adaptation of L. Neil Smith's classic libertarian sci-fi novel, will be presented on-line in its entirety as a serialization starting Wednesday, October 4, publisher Big Head Press has announced.
Illustrator Scott Bieser worked with Smith to present his 1979 prose story in full-color graphic form after several fans of both Smith and Bieser suggested the collaboration, Bieser recalled. The result is a 185-page story that is somewhat pared-down from the original but still carries all the important plot points and has been well-received by Smith's fans.
Big Head Press released the book as a trade-paperback in late 2004, and sales have been fairly steady through both the comics "direct market" and on-line retailers, according to Frank Bieser, proprietor of the company.
"But they could be better, and we have seen other publishers obtain greater visibility for their works and improve sales by making the content viewable on-line," Bieser said. He noted that the first 42 pages of the story have been viewable on-line for some time now but this will be a new "roll-out" of the story which is hoped to stimulate more attention.
The new "roll-out" will include a new forward to the story by Smith, who also noted that since this 1979 story predicts a version of the World Wide Web (called "the Telecom"), Broach will now have come full-circle, in a sense, with this Web presentation.
The story goes on-line with the first 47 pages on October 4, and then will be serialized at an average rate of 5 pages per weekly upload, each Wednesday, until the run is completed in the spring of next year. A button link leading to the story will appear on the publisher's main page at http://www.bigheadpress.com when the serialization begins.

I've been out of town and only now catching up on the past few issue of Libertarian Enterprise. I was glad to see El Neil promoting Alex Jones. Along with others such as Jeff Rense, he is one the courageous few exposing the real Truth behind the headlines. The Truth about the atheistic, secular, and globalist group(s) that are destroying America as they usher in the New World Order.
While you're visitng Jones' site, read about the Bohemian Grove where some of the most powerful men in America gather for occult, anti-Christian rituals and to make policy:

Re.: "Letter from Dick Wetherbee"
Oh, I wouldn't consider you to be a bully, or your friends either.
What you did was quite well within reason, and the Libertarian ethos: You were protecting your own life. liberty, and property against damage.
Willful negligence is still an act of aggression on the part of the person who engages in such. It is tantamount to expecting everyone else to suffer for the lack of due considerationespecially where that lack of consideration will lead to loss on the part of someone else.
In my estimation, it was the individual you wrote of who is the genesis of government, for he is expecting you to do his bidding by taxing your own efforts, and not providing anything in return, except more of the same.

What's that old line?
Your remarkin part: "[...] it might be appropriate to level a charge of slander against my reputation..."
For your edificationand you might keep the following in mind for the futureslander is spoken, whereas libel is written. A really neat mnemonic for remembering that is: the words 'slander' and 'speak' both begin with an 's', whereas the word libel is written (on the line) and rather coincidentally, both begin with the letter (l).
Nifty, eh?
Now regarding everything else?

Dear TLE:
The following observations by Sam Harris in the LA Times about certain lefties could just as easily be characterizing certain libertarians of the sort we often see writing for the likes of antiwar.com, lewrockwell.com and Libertarian Enterprise:
"My correspondence with liberals has convinced me that liberalism has grown dangerously out of touch with the realities of our world--specifically with what devout Muslims actually believe about the West, about paradise and about the ultimate ascendance of their faith. . . .
"A cult of death is forming in the Muslim world--for reasons that are perfectly explicable in terms of the Islamic doctrines of martyrdom and jihad. The truth is that we are not fighting a 'war on terror.' We are fighting a pestilential theology and a longing for paradise.
"This is not to say that we are at war with all Muslims. But we are absolutely at war with those who believe that death in defense of the faith is the highest possible good, that cartoonists should be killed for caricaturing the prophet and that any Muslim who loses his faith should be butchered for apostasy. . . .
"And yet, despite abundant evidence to the contrary, liberals continue to imagine that Muslim terrorism springs from economic despair, lack of education and American militarism."
You won't find scribblers like J. Raimondo, L. Smith, T. Knapp et al. discussing that evidence very scrupulously. You won't find them conceding the actual significance of world-wide rioting, threats and violence in response to cartoons (militarism?) and speeches (militarism?) and the like--the actual words and deeds and articulated goals, prolifically recorded, of those engaged in jihad. Why not?
Well, they can't. Not and maintain their delusions. If Islamofascism were an actual existing threat which it makes sense to combat, then "militarism" might be justified to oppose it. Then the arguments would have to be about how best to fight the war, not whether to fight the war at all. But this would contradict the anti-interventionist ideology being clung to as an article of faith. So the facts have to be ignored.

Dear Editor,
In a column he entitled "Will the Real Lady of Liberty please raise a Lighted Torch?" writer Dennis Lee Wilson took me to task for my views on immigration. I wrote that I favor secured borders (which in fact I believe to be not only highly desirable but constitutionally mandated); he said that such a viewpoint was both wrong and not Libertarian.
Mr. Wilson has every right to believe the former and to present his opposing viewpoint accordingly (which he quite thoroughly did). As for the latter, he himself noted that I'd never openly claimed to be a Libertarian. He's right; I haven't. (Mr. Wilson went on to say that he assumed that I must be a Libertarian because some of the things I write appear in The Libertarian Enterprise, though last time I checked I didn't find that to be a requirement. Perhaps he could direct me to the relevant portion of the submission guidelines).
I haven't claimed to be a Libertarian because I'm not. One of the reasons I'm not isn't that most of my views don't follow along pretty closely with the official Libertarian philosophy, but rather because a couple of significant ones don't. That being said, I do agree with some well known Libertarians, even where immigration is involved.
Congressman Ron Paulwho is nominally a Republican, but who has been a Libertarian presidential candidate and is certainly considered by most Libertarians to be one of "them"wrote in his weekly column dated September 18, 2006:
"The problems associated with illegal immigration will not be solved overnight, but we cannot begin to address them until we take the hard steps of securing the borders, rejecting amnesty, and reclaiming our right as a sovereign nation to control immigration without apology. "
Michael Badnarik, who was the 2004 Libertarian candidate for president and who is currently running for Congress as a Libertarian in Texas, said of immigration in an interview I personally conducted:
"So if you come to the United States with the intention of moving here, living here permanently, learning English, spending money, working hard, and becoming an American citizen, I'm all in favor of that. And there needs to be a clear, definitive path of how to do that. However, if you're just going to cross the border illegally disregarding the laws that we have in place, and you're going to march in the large cities, and demand that we turn our property over to you, that is not being an American. That is currently a non-violent invasion. And that is not something that I or Libertarians support."
In fact, the Libertarian Party itself isn'tat least not officiallyas LIbertarian as Mr. Wilson seems to think LIbertarians should be:
Libertarian Party Platform on Immigration (excerpts therefrom:)
Part of the problem: "A completely open border allows foreign criminals, carriers of communicable diseases, terrorists and other potential threats to enter the country unchecked."
"The Principle: The legitimate function and obligation of government to protect the lives, rights and property of its citizens, requires awareness of and control over the entry into our country of foreign nationals who pose a threat to security, health or property."
"Solutions: Borders will be secure, with free entry to those who have demonstrated compliance with certain requirements. "
I freely admit I don't agree in entirety with the Libertarian Party platform on immigration, but I do note that even it contains some cautionssensibly, I thinkwhere open borders are concerned.
In the end, if I'm not Libertarian enough for some people, well, at least I'm in fine company (though I don't for a moment consider myself a peer of men like Rep. Paul and Mr. Badnarik who have effectively dedicated their lives to fighting for freedom).
I could go on to defend my stance on immigration some more, but I won't. Someone else wrote the definitive column on that subject that I can only wish I'd written. His name is Stephen Cox, and he's the editor of Liberty magazine. Mr. Cox wrote the illuminating "The Fallacy of Open Immigration" which was published at LewRockwell.com to which I only have one thing to say: Me, too.
As for the real Lady Liberty, Mr. Wilson, she's right here. I'd note that the "other" Lady Liberty, the one in New York which you so poignantly quoted, may welcome the huddled masses yearning to breathe free, but nowhere does she say she welcomes the criminals, the terrorists, the welfare seekers, or the would-be conquistadors. Nowhere does she suggest that she would welcome those who would undermine the sovereignty, security, or society of the very country whose gates she lights. Nowhere does she suggest that anyone and everyone is welcome en masse without a hint of order to their entry. And neither do I.

December 26, 2013

A bomb exploded near a bus travelling north of Cairo on Thursday injuring five people a day after Egypt's interim government declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation. A second device was found nearby and defused.
The attacks came after a car bomb tore through a suburb north of Cairo on Tuesday, killing 16, which the country's leadership blamed on the Islamist group.
The classification of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror group is a marked escalation in the military-led government's campaign to suppress opposition – an effort it has branded a "war on terror".
On Wednesday, the Sinai-based jihadist group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis claimed responsibility Tuesday's suicide bombing on a police headquarters in the city of Mansoura, north of Cairo. In a statement, it warned people to stay away from what it said were legitimate targets, including police, military and government buildings.
Egypt's armed forces have been carrying out military operations in the northern Sinai for several months. Security forces claim to have killed 164 people and arrested more than 500 others on suspicion of involvement in terrorist acts.
Analysts were divided on what the immediate impact of the statement on the Muslim Brotherhood would be. It has already been listed as a banned organisation and its financial assets seized after a 23 September court ruling.
Most of its senior leadership sit behind bars and former prime ministerHisham Qandil was captured on Tuesday on a desert road en route to neighbouring Sudan, according to security forces.
HA Hellyer, a Cairo-based associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, said the immediate legal ramifications of Wednesday's announcement were unclear, but he had not been surprised by the announcement.
"The courts, for months, have been calling the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation," he told the Guardian. "And you have the media narrative, which has described the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorists for months.
"The difference is that the cabinet and the actual leadership of the state is now saying this. This is the first time the state has directly linked the Muslim Brotherhood to terrorism."
He discounted claims the Muslim Brotherhood was behind Tuesday's bombing in Mansoura: "You have a large number of people who supported [ousted president] Mohamed Morsi, and they are responsible for the attacks. Those are criminals. Those are terrorists. Those should be targeted by the security forces."
Hellyer predicted the climate for supporters of the Brotherhood would get worse. He added: "It also increases the likelihood that we will see more acts of violence."
An immediate concern is the potential for vigilante attacks on supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi, Hellyer said, as well as those opposed to the military-led interim government.
After the Mansoura bombing, hundreds of local residents vandalised property belonging to Muslim Brotherhood supporters, burning cars and ransacking businesses.
Several Egyptian observers have, however, applauded the government's move, with some suggesting it was late in coming.
Hisham Kassem, a publisher and analyst, said the government had made the announcement in response to growing criticism over its failure to end protest action and violence connected to those opposed to the government.
"People did not think the state was firm enough," he said, adding: "The statement will not have any impact because it's already a full-scale war."
Kassem referred to threats made by senior Brotherhood figures in the wake of Morsi's removal in July. "They have made statements that they would burn the country as punishment for removing Morsi," he said.
"The Brotherhood have made it clear – they refuse to use reason. They have repeatedly threatened to derail the country's progress," Kassem added.
Over the past week, reports have circulated of clandestine talks between the government and the Muslim Brotherhood. Unnamed sources quoted in local media claimed the Brotherhood was stepping back from earlier demands that Morsi be reinstated. There was also talk of finding a legal "exit" for the imprisoned Brotherhood leadership.
With Wednesday's announcement, however, it appears unlikely the Muslim Brotherhood and its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, will be allowed to re-enter Egyptian politics.

Addressing the impacts of climate change is a strategic issue that requires a comprehensive and sustainable approach. As a result of climate change, global temperatures are expected to continue to rise, resulting in sea level rise and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, landslides and storms.Documento completo
This collaborative working paper, and the shorter technical briefing note derived from it, discuss hidden dimensions of urban poverty, and the different ways in which they impact men and women. This gender perspective supports a broader understanding of urban poverty that stretches beyond income to include domestic and care responsibilities, dependency and powerlessness. The papers explore women's engagement in both paid work, which is often informal and subject to increasing insecurity and low earnings, and unpaid work, which results in time poverty for women. It also discusses differential access to shelter and basic services and their importance for safety, security and well-being.Documento completo

With some tips and suggestions availed from the experts, it becomes possible to undertake the venture without any hassle or requiring to cross the set budget.
Interviewing the candidates
There have emerged numerous contractors in the region who claim to provide the best possible services at affordable rates. However, it is necessary for the person to refrain from selecting the first one that he comes across. He should always check out their websites, find out more about their services and previous track records including past client satisfaction. Comparing them all can give some idea about the provider. At the same time, speaking to the past clients can also assist the person to gain immense confidence about the company that he is planning to hire and ensure that he is not putting his money to waste.
It is equally necessary to call up the respective representatives and discuss with them about the options available, how they can assist, and the fees charged by them and placing all queries to get satisfactory answers. The reputed contractor is one who would take time and patience to provide all answers to the different queries of the prospective clients. Having sufficient prior knowledge about the domain can help the person to ask relevant questions and understand what is required.
Signing the contract
Before signing the deal, it is essential for the person to check thoroughly the documents to make sure that there are no provisions mentioned in it for future hidden charges. Also, the contractors should specify very clearly what is to be expected from them and the time is taken by them for performing their tasks and to complete it. In case, of any issue that crops up after the work is finished should be the responsibility of the contractors, who should offer services without any additional costs if it is their mistake or ignorance.

Jerry Sandusky is rightfully spending the last years of his life in prison. If the allegations against the much more famous Bill Cosby ultimately prove to be true, I wonder if the Federal Communication Commission will impose a set of sanctions, similar to those imposed by the NCAA against Penn State, against networks that employed him.
Will there be an investigation and report damning executives for not doing more to prevent the actions of one of their stars? Will any network be barred from airing post-season athletic contests? Will they be prevented from recruiting potential entertainment stars? It seems reasonable given the sanctions imposed on Penn State by the NCAA.

Ask Ricky (FAQ)
Use the email link above to submit questions to Ricky
Someone came into the shop the other day and I heard them ask Bernie what was the strange thing in their red wine. They were wondering if the wine had gone bad and if it was safe to drink.
So I strutted myself up to them and told them the answer... roof, roof, woof, woof, roof. I was so proud that I knew the answer. Instead of thanking me they looked at me like I was "Barking Mad"!!!.... I know knew I needed to have an interprerter because they don't speak DOG!!!!
So here goes... woofly in a nutshell they are harmless by-products of wine, and some equate their presence as a mark of quality,
So if you get them, smile and know they are a good thing :)
Sooooooo someone wrote in, so I had to have mom (Bernie) read me the email as I don't know how to read (yet). Also I can't type....
I was a bit confused because it had to do with ageing... I age very well thank you.
What Mom, they are asking if they should age their wine!!!! So if they write down when they made it they should know the age of the wine....(silly people).
Oh you mean the other type of ageing. The one with the magnet thingy.... the one I see you using all the time? I highly recommend you do it as my Mom swears by it... she goes over by it and swears...boy that wine tastes good. I have seen you do that thing where you suggest people pour some separately into a glass then put the bottle on the wine ager for 30 minutes and compare..... yes mom I will tell them you sell them at the shop....
Mom and Dad (Bernie and Greg) were talking about the possibility of moving to a location and having a hard time figuring out where it should be.... so I gave them my 2 cents worth.... Woof woof woof which means hey you silly people put it at my house!!!!!
So that's what they did.... Friday June 28th was the last day at the old location. They are now at 81 Queen St. West. Come and visit and see the wonderful view from my back yard.....

Household Pest Larvae Identification
Image by Flickr.com, courtesy of Sophie fc
Since the beginning of time, insects have plagued humankind. We have battled with flies, roaches, termites and even bloodsucking fleas in our homes and workplaces. Knowing how to indentify pest larvae is an important step in eradicating the potential infestation of a home.
Common Household Insect Pests
Fleas will find a way into any home, even those without pets. They can travel far and jump and climb over high obstacles. Roaches are disease-carrying pests that run quickly and even jump away when they sense danger. They breed very efficiently and can produce offspring that mate and produce more roaches only a few weeks after hatching. Carpet beetles are small fibre-eating beetles that have found their way into people's homes. They live in mattresses, closets, stored clothing, carpets and even dried goods. Carpet beetles eat natural fibres, though some are known to eat synthetic fibres as well.
How to Indentify Pest Larvae
Fleas reproduce by breeding and then laying eggs. Their eggs are tiny and nearly impossible to see without a magnifying glass. Their larvae appear as tiny white, yellow or brown hairy caterpillars in carpets, pet bedding, floor cracks and even human beds. Many pest roaches develop in egg sacks and hatch into tiny replicas of their parents. Identifying roaches can be as simple as looking for their small, dark droppings, which they leave wherever they happen to be standing. Roaches will run away fast if a light is switched on. Carpet beetle larvae live in dark areas of houses in carpets, floor cracks, bedding, computers and even the clothes people wear. They are very hairy, stubby and fat and look like small maggots. They move quite quickly when disturbed.
How to Kill Household Pests
Since the larvae of these pests are not covered in hard shells, food grade diatomaceous earth will kill them before they become adult insects. The DE is sprinkled over any areas with pest activity, and in essence, it dehydrates the creatures until they die. Daily, thorough vacuuming is also essential to removing the eggs and larvae of many household pests. Professional steam cleaning and pest control can also be used when the infestations are too bad to treat at home.
How to Prevent Household Pests
Keeping living areas as clean as possible will help to prevent pest infestations. Putting leftover foods away and sealing up dried foodstuffs is also essential to preventing a perfect insect pest habitat. Checking pets on a regular basis for fleas will prevent them from moving into your house. Going over any second-hand furniture, toys and clothing and checking for possible intruders before bringing them home will stop an infestation before it has a chance to happen.
How Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth Works
DE makes many cuts in the covering of insects causing them to dry out and this is what eventually kills them. When ingested, it destroys the creatures internal organs causing death.

Orson Welles – Brilliant Visionary; World Class Pimp.Posted: March 29, 2011 Filed under: Regulars | Tags: 1930s, 1940, Affairs, Oja Kodar, Old Hollywood, Orson Welles, Paola Mori, Rita Hayworth, Scandal, Sex, Virginia Nicholson 1 Comment
Many people may call me crazy for thinking that Orson Welles is one of the most bangable people to ever grace God's green earth. But it wasn't only this youthful undergrad who found herself trapped by the seductive powers of his radio-ready dulcet tones, his truly revolutionary brilliance that he brought to stage, screen, and Spartan, or his sensuous lips.
No, I was not the first. In fact, even after ballooning to nearly 400 pounds in his late years of manic-depressive self-exile, Welles had a lotta lays, 3 wives, multiple "possible" children, and died in 1985, many years before I could have had the chance to entice him with my feminine wiles and nab the title "wife numba 4." Shit ain't fair.
But for the sake of brevity, I will generally focus on his better known bangs rather than all the rumors and (sadly) skip over the man's insane ego/intelligence.
Orson Welles was born beautiful, I'm convinced.
By his mid-teens he was a 6-foot slab of man steak that the ladies clearly wanted to sink their teeth into. He started early at age 17, when he first met the Latina bombshell Dolores del Rio, even though she was mad older. They didn't actually start a recorded affair until 1938, but I bet there was some hanky-panky, or at least a good deal of eye-fucking.
He got married first at 19 to Virginia Nicholson, who he had met working in radio, then promptly put a baby in her belly. This child, though a lady-baby, was named Christopher. Go figure. I haven't gotten to the part in This is Orson Welles where he explains that one. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) while he was married to Virginia, Orson was slaying just about every "up and coming" (HA!) young actress in New York. He was making a name for himself by, you know, revolutionizing theater and radio and scaring the living poop out of America by saying aliens invaded New Jersey (Fortunately? Naw, just kidding NJ, God love ya. New York's waste has gotta go somewhere.).
After years of marriage and about a bazillion affairs, Virginia and Orson divorced, leaving Orson legally free to immediately shack up with a bunch of slam pieces amongst the jetset of 1940's Hollywood (Including going public with Dolores, and making her get her own divorce in 1941. Guess she thought that stallion could be tamed…). But the most sizzling by far was Rita Hayworth. Yeah, that one. Long considered the sexiest woman of her age (or any age), Orson was attracted to her for obvious reasons. But also she was a real sweetheart, and from reading the letters sent between them it was clear they loved each other. Orson once wrote to Rita, like a love-sick teenager:
"You are my life — my very life. Never imagine your hope approximates what you are to me. Beautiful, precious little baby — hurry up the sun! — make the days shorter till we meet. I love you, that's all there is to it. -Your boy, Orson"
Balls. I mean, I'd be happy if anybody wrote that to me, let alone Orson Welles.
Even while they were going through the process of divorce, he still cast her in The Lady from Shanghai, and their chemistry is off the fucking charts. Rita once said she "couldn't take his brilliance any more," and Orson similarly said of their marriage that he could never make her as happy as she made him. That, and I mean, he kept doin' it with a lot of girls, so I'm betting that was a factor.
But some of Orson's best work came out of that holy union, including Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons, both considered two of the greatest films of all time for their innovative storytelling and visual design, massive scope yet intimate character study, and the fact that they were pure American poetry (Yeah, I did just say that.). Unfortunately from here on, because Orson's foray into Hollywood was neither economically successful nor critically well-received, his career began to take the downward turn that from which he would never recover (which is why the last thing Orson ever did was the 1985 animated Transformers movie, and it best known even to our parent's generation as "that guy from the wine commercial"- quote, my mom.). This did not mean the man didn't continue a brilliant output of work, such as his proto-surrealist adaptation of Kafka's The Trial, excellent adaptations of The Merchant of Venice and Othello, and the just plain sick-nasty espionage classic, Mr. Arkadin, not to mention his acting turns in classics like The Third Man, Touch of Evil, and The Stranger. But who remembers that shit? We remember the fact that he ballooned to the size of a baby elephant and hid away in the Italian mountains for like, ever.
WHICH brings me to Orson's third wife, Countess Paola Di Girifalco, or better known as the actress Paola Mori. They were married in 1955, but estranged by the 1960s and never actually divorced. After that, Orson had basically slowed down doin' the nasty, but he still managed to make it in 1966 with the greatest piece of Eastern-European ass since Russia decided its newest export besides vodka, literature and sadness was gonna be models, Oja Kodar. She stuck with him for the last 24 years of his life, and I'm betting they were a pretty good match for each other, and bitch even built him a monument . What?? Anyway, he cast her topless in a lot of shit, so that's what matters. Thanks bro, I'll drink to those.
Orson died never having won true recognition for his work (and also having never met me, but we've established that already), but is finally now experiencing a great popularity—mostly among baby-boomer film snobs and hipsters, but hey, we'll take what we can get. Hopefully now he can also be recognized as the Master of Bone that he was—far better than any Oscar. You know why? 'Cause an Oscar's not gonna seduce you like those lips would.
One Comment on "Orson Welles – Brilliant Visionary; World Class Pimp."
I like how the author of this post both attests her attraction to Orson Welles, and metaphorically 'high fives' him on his sexual conquests. Seems chill.

Jay Z Parties with Rihanna and Diddy in First Appearance Since Announcing Beyoncé's Expecting Twins
Here's to the daddies who brunch.
While wife Beyoncé relaxed at home ahead of her performance at the 2017 Grammy Awards, Jay Z mingled with a few of the top names in the business at the Roc Nation pre-Grammys brunch on Saturday. The outing marked the 47-year-old rapper's first public appearance since Beyoncé announced that the couple were expecting twins.
Jay Z Parties with Rihanna and Diddy in First Appearance Since Announcing Beyoncé's Expecting Twins
Jay Z, looking dapper in a maroon three-piece suit, partied with the VIP guests including Rihanna. The singer, who is up for eight Grammys at Sunday's award show, was pictured catching up with Jay Z and shaking his hand. She looked stylish in a flowing orange crop top and white pants.
Sean "Diddy" Combs documented the day on Instagram, including sitting in a car and arriving at the event with the man of the hour. Although Diddy is still recovering from a recent knee surgery, he looked stylish in a dusty rose coat and his latest accessory, a walking cane.
Other notable attendees at the star-studded event included Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato, Jaden Smith, DJ Khaled and Fat Joe.
Beyoncé announced in an Instagram post on Feb. 1 that she and her husband are expecting not one, but two new little ones.
"We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over," the 35-year-old singer captioned a photo of herself cradling her sizeable bump.
"We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. – The Carters."
The couple – who wed in 2008 – already share daughter Blue Ivy, 5.
Of motherhood, the singer told Elle in 2016, "I just want my child to be happy and healthy and have the opportunity to realize her dreams."
The couple's double baby joy follows a year rife with speculation over the status of their marriage, namely due to the revealing, infidelity-themed lyrics from the singer's Lemonade album. Yet, days after dropping the wildly popular record, Beyoncé kicked off her tour with a thank-you to her "beautiful husband."

Bordering on Romance - wedding invites
Well I didn't expect it to be this long since I posted again. I had another card to share but I just haven't gotten around to posting it. I wanted to post it before Valentine's day since it was a Valentine's card but things just got really busy and I wasn't too excited how the card came out anyway. I still may try to post it soon. What was keeping me super busy (besides my 7 month old) was these wedding invitations I was working on for one of our friend's sister's wedding. Somehow I went crazy and said yes to making 125 of these pocketfold invites with coloring...ahhhh! It was a ton of work but I am very happy with how they came out. I was actually able to get them done in a months period of time which I didn't think was too bad either while taking care of a baby and working a full time job. But I am super glad that I'm finished and don't have to think about which part I'm going to tackle each night. These invites were a mix of MDS and stamping. The actual invite was designed in MDS, then I printed it and colored it in with pastels. All of the enclosures were done in Word and then I stamped the flower image from Bordering on Romance and colored those flowers in as well. Now that these are off my plate I hope to get back to stamping here and there so hopefully I'll have some more things to share with you in the future. Thanks for stopping by.
Stamps: Bordering on Romance
Paper: Marina Mist, Vanilla, Lemon Tart (Papertrey Ink)

Accessories: Decorative Label Punch, MDS, Pastels

Chris Fazio plays violin and trumpet with local band The Hills and the Rivers now, but he's played pretty much every instrument in his day, including drums, which he played in some loud bands as a kid. And while many musicians start to experience hearing problems later in life, it hit Fazio at age 16.
"I remember the day," Fazio says. "I was playing a loud show, playing drums, and after the show, I noticed my hearing was really muffled; I couldn't hear people speaking very well. I had tinnitus afterward, and the tinnitus never really went away. It got a little better, but it didn't go away."
If Dr. Catherine Palmer has her way, stories like Fazio's will eventually be a thing of the past — because young people, especially young musicians, will be better educated on the risks presented by regular exposure to loud noise. Palmer, director of audiology at UPMC's Eye and Ear Institute (and a professor at Pitt), heads up the Musicians' Hearing Center, a UPMC unit focusing on preventing hearing loss and related symptoms in musicians.
"We started the Musicians' Hearing Center in 2003," Palmer says, "with the goal of preventing hearing loss." Musicians, unlike others who work in noise-heavy occupations, aren't subject to workplace-safety noise regulations, she notes. And "musicians have a 100 percent chance of hearing damage," she notes. Musicians can end up with hearing loss, but also a host of other symptoms including tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and sensitivity to certain frequencies.
The UPMC center is one of only a few of its kind, modeled partly on the Musicians' Clinics of Canada, an educational and clinical institution begun in 1986 at McMaster University. Palmer works with school groups — mostly bands and orchestras — and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and gives educational lectures to music students at Carnegie Mellon University.
"Vocalists always get vocal-health education," Palmer notes. "But instrumentalists in the past have rarely gotten any information about hearing health. CMU has been a leader in changing that."
Fazio says "there was nothing" in terms of education when he was coming up in middle- and high-school band. "I remember in high school looking at all the health books and there was nothing about protecting your hearing." He attributes his failure to use hearing protection to being young and not knowing better. "I just didn't think it was that big a deal."
Musicians of all sorts — from concert bassoonists to screamo guitarists — are at risk for hearing loss and related afflictions like tinnitus, Palmer says. And for many years, musicians were paid little attention by the medical world.
"For a long time, we had nothing to offer," Palmer says. Musicians are unlikely to want to play with the cheap foam earplugs used by construction workers and insomniacs, because they mute pitches at different rates, distorting the sound of the musician's instrument and those around her or him. It was only in the late 1980s when custom musicians' earplugs were developed.

Yes they are as long as they are fed well and have plenty of room.Are Asian forest scorpions a social species??
Sent from my LT18i using Tapatalk 2
http://www.pandinusimperator.nl/en/story_EN.htmI dont know if it's the same with forest scorps, but i can tell my male and female emperors apart pretty easily. The claws on the female are a good deal smaller and shes got more junk in the trunk. The male's rear sort of tapers off while the female's body is shaped more like a sausage.
But Scorpdemon is right, pics would be best. If you don't have a camera you can go back to the pet store and compare your scorpion to the others or do a little research on pectines and tell us how many teeth yours has. Im sure someone in here will be able to tell you for sure what you have if you can count those.

Why do you need flood insurance?
The idea of preparing for a flood is incredibly intimidating. It's hard enough to safeguard your home and the stuff inside without having to worry about paying for any potential damages on your own. Fortunately, Esurance can help you get a free quote for flood insurance coverage underwritten by the National Flood Insurance Program. More [+]
According to FEMA's Floodsmart.gov, a mere 6" of floodwater in a 1,000 square-foot home could cause over $20,000 of damage.** That's $20,000 that the right flood insurance policy could save you from paying out of pocket. And since the average policy costs about $650 a year* — or roughly $2 a day — that adds up to pretty significant savings.
Flood insurance only applies to water damage that is directly related to a flood. Flooding can occur due to a variety of situations, including heavy rains, tropical storms, melting snow, insufficient drainage systems, and even failed protective devices such as levees and dams.
Coverage doesn't apply to preventable water damage, like that caused by moisture, mildew, or mold. It also won't apply in the case of damage caused by sewer or drain backup (unless a flood specifically caused the backup).
Flood insurance policies cover damage to your property and possessions, though the protection varies. Building property coverage covers the structure of your home, while personal property coverage protects the possessions you keep there. For the best liability coverage for your home and valuables, it's a good idea to get both forms of coverage.
Both types of coverage help pay for the repair and/or replacement of the covered items listed below (up to the limit you select when you purchase coverage). More [+]
Building property coverage can help protect and pay for:
Personal property coverage can help repair or replace:
Personal property coverage will help pay up to the actual cash value of these items (that is, the original price minus depreciation) for a covered incident.
Most NFIP policies include Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) coverage, which applies to insured buildings when flood damage is significant. In order to qualify for ICC coverage, you have to have building property coverage. ICC coverage provides up to $30,000 of the cost to elevate, relocate, or demolish the building or even flood-proof structures with qualified basements.
If your building is declared substantially damaged by your community, you'll be required to bring your building up to current building standards. ICC coverage can help pay those costs.
Call 1-866-351-3059 (M–F, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. ET) or you can get a quote by email.
*Information in the 3 bullets and average annual price provided by the National Flood Insurance Program.
**Cost calculated using Floodsmart.gov's interactive The Cost of Flooding tool.
Flood insurance policies are underwritten by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Coverages, discounts and billing options are subject to state availability, individual qualification and/or the NFIP's underwriting guidelines. New flood insurance policies are subject to a 30-day waiting period prior to taking effect. This is a brief description of coverage available. For complete details, including exclusions and limitations, please refer to the policy you will receive when you purchase the coverage. Flood insurance claims are processed by the NFIP. Esurance does not underwrite or pay claims for this product.

I was planning to make a slipstream Windows 7 DVD, and for the same I need help.
Where can I download all Windows 7 updates? I already have SP1 in exe format.
Could you please help.
I was planning to make a slipstream Windows 7 DVD, and for the same I need help.
Where can I download all Windows 7 updates? I already have SP1 in exe format.
Could you please help.
You can use windows update or see the description link where you can you can manually download the update.
i found a few updates here :
check for windows update and select all the available update
I suggest using windows update or just starting all over and then updating.
Hi. GrrGrr.
The way I slipstreamed mine was to obtain the updates via this method.
Click Start/Control Panel/Windows Update/View Update History double click on an update you want to download for the slipstreamed Dvd aan click on More Information it will take you to the Microsoft Site scroll down to Resolution you will see How to Obtain this Update you may have to follow a link or it will let you download it from there. Thinking of doing the same myself in the next few days as mine needs updating. Hope this helps.
just conect on the internet, microsoft has a features to automatic update.
Download "wsus offline" from softpedia.com
You can also try rt_7_lite or Windows configuration tool by Rockers team to customize the Windows ISO.
window update .....
1.First Go to below site Using Internet Explorer Only.
2.Allow Addon or Activex after that Microsoft catalog Page loads.
3.Type Wondows 7 in the search box.
4.Add all the Necessary windows 7 updates which you require in slipstream Windows seven DVD all are stored in basket.
5. Finally click on View Basket where all added updates are present click on Download & make Update Folder in any location.
That's all all updates downloaded in that Folder.
Use the windows update feature. Go to Control Panel -> System and Security -> Windows Update -> Check for Updates.
Also I would recommend to keep aumatitic updating on.
Instead of having to maintain a constantly updated slipstreamed version of Win7 (btw, I still haven't seen a tool to slipstream Win7 and MS does not provide a way to do it like they did with XP), I just keep an updated update ISO by using the WSUS Offline Update. Each month after Patch Tuesday, I just run the tool to create new images for the operating systems & office suites I am supporting and it creates new udpdate images for me. When I need them for a job, I just burn the appropriate images to DVD, pop it into the machine and let it do all of the updating for me. It will automatically reboot and restart itself as necessary until all of the needed updates have been applied.
Yeah this was a utility that I was also using..
I think the best option is the Windows Update Downloader and the Post-SP1 update list from MSFN.
this is a good option put i prefer to use the official windows update and select the the updates you need only
The update list just contains the list of updates for the selected system. You are still able to select the updates you actually want to download within the tool.
Also the updates are downloaded from the official source.
windows update
You may try Windows Update Catalog from Microsoft (You'll have to use Internet explorer :( ...) OR Wsus offline, it does not have Visual C++ or .Net Hotfixes, just the basic updates:
please use windows update . that is inbuilt in windows 7 and select the update you want!!!
seeif the following can help:
Windows Updates Downloader
CTUpdate (WSUS Offline)
AutoPatcher Updater v18.104.22.168
WSUS Offline Update (c't Offline Update) 7.4.2 (interface german?)
How many updates your computer needs, it depends on what build your win is!
You can never tell that after installing an update, there will not be an update for the same thing, one week later!
I don't of any way to download updates in win 7!
The only option would be using windows update!
So, if you format you computer, you need to re-download all the updates from the beginning, using windows update!
U can get this on http://www.cnet.com
It is better advised to do a clean install and check for updates, as it will be more safely installing the updates, or you can go for a another installation, where the tweaked windows 7 will be containing all the updates being installed in it, but the overall iso size will be increase from Retail windows 7 iso file size by 2 GB.

From the NY Times.
Tenuous Grip on Rebuilding Could Hurt Bloomberg's Term
By ADAM NAGOURNEY
ayor Michael R. Bloomberg's performance as mayor is likely to be measured in large part by his success at leading New York City to a consensus on what should happen with the World Trade Center site, and the pace and quality of the subsequent rebuilding.
But it will not be easy. As it turns out, Mr. Bloomberg has more authority to suspend alternate side of the street parking regulations than in determining the course of what happens on the tract of land just south of City Hall.
In another example of a trend in New York governance that began with the fiscal crisis of the 1970's Albany usurping the authority of New York City Mr. Bloomberg's role in controlling what is almost certain to be the most critical decision of his first term was constrained before he ever set foot in City Hall. By that time, Gov. George E. Pataki had appointed a commission, with its power weighted toward Albany, to chart the reconstruction of the trade center site.
The 11-member Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, created by Mr. Pataki three weeks after Mr. Bloomberg was elected, consists of seven people chosen by the governor and four chosen by Rudolph W. Giuliani, who was still mayor at the time. Its executive director is one of Mr. Pataki's closest confidants, a businessman who lives in Voorheesville, N.Y., about 160 miles north of New York City.
Mr. Pataki, who is facing re-election this November, moved swiftly to appoint the commission and assure his control of the process, after a mayoral campaign in which Mr. Bloomberg argued against the creation of a state-city commission. Mr. Bloomberg said he believed such a commission would hinder rather than help the rebuilding process. An aide said yesterday that Mr. Bloomberg's view on that had not changed.
Characteristically, Mr. Bloomberg has avoided criticizing Mr. Pataki on the subject, repeatedly stating that he could work with the arrangements and that the appointees chosen by Mr. Giuliani were reviewed by him before they were put in place. He has noted as well his personal and business relationship with the chairman of the corporation, John C. Whitehead.
But the unexpectedly fast pace of the cleanup means that decisions about what to do with the site, which once seemed a long way off, suddenly seem to be nearly around the corner. And with that forced focus, some of Mr. Bloomberg's advisers, as well as some Democratic officials with no ties to Mr. Bloomberg, are expressing some reservations about the development corporation, suggesting that the current mayor finds himself being judged as a result of a process over which he has only partial control.
One of Mr. Bloomberg's advisers tautly speculated that the Bloomberg reconstruction effort would inevitably be measured against the speed and efficiency of the cleanup effort that was largely overseen by Mr. Giuliani.
The complexities have become particularly apparent in recent days, with the announcement by some corporations that they were moving employees out of New York, and with the growing signs of struggle between family members of victims and business leaders about how much of the site should be turned into a memorial. Several political leaders noted the juxtaposition of those developments with the notably deliberate pace of the development corporation, as it slowly prepares for the decisions ahead.
"It is a big issue, and my sense is so far, Bloomberg hasn't really grabbed a hold of it and said, `This is going to be my issue,' " said William B. Eimicke, a political science professor at Columbia University. "This could be a signature for him. If you really want to be poetic, this could be him picking up the torch from Rudy: Rudy led us through the crisis, and Bloomberg does the revitalization. Comes up with the grand plan. And that's his signature."
In recent days, Mr. Bloomberg has seemed to be trying to seize some control over the process. He has taken to pointedly noting that Mr. Giuliani's appointees serve "at my pleasure," suggesting that he may replace them if he is unhappy with their performance, a conclusion that an aide to Mr. Bloomberg said was based on a private assurance given to the new mayor by Mr. Pataki.
Even if Mr. Bloomberg signed off on the Giuliani appointees, he clearly does not view them as part of his team. In recent days, Mr. Bloomberg's advisers have gone out of their way to note that one of Mr. Giuliani's appointees is Robert M. Harding, a former deputy mayor, who Mr. Bloomberg's aides said had not given the new mayor a complete briefing on a tentative deal Mr. Giuliani had worked out with the Yankees and the Mets about constructing new stadiums.
Mr. Bloomberg will devote a large part of his first annual address to the City Council today to his views on the future of the site, one adviser said.
And Mr. Bloomberg's deputy mayor for economic development, Daniel L. Doctoroff, has been a constant figure at the early meetings of the board, according to board members. Mr. Doctoroff asserted that the city would be able to wield control over the process, notwithstanding the lopsided makeup of the board.
"Undoubtedly, there are going to be issues where people disagree," Mr. Doctoroff said. But, he added, "everybody recognizes that this is the future of Lower Manhattan, and therefore New York City, and that New York City has got to play a critical role in defining its future."
That said, the commission remains a long way off from struggling with the difficult issues that await it. Until now, Mr. Bloomberg was consumed with the process of putting together a government, preparing for the annual address to the Council and drafting his first budget.
To a certain extent, there is a bit of a dance going on between Mr. Pataki and Mr. Bloomberg. The standings of both men will be enhanced with a successful resolution of this project; just as surely, each could be hurt if the project falters, or if there is any perception that the two men are quarreling over a project of such import.
All this is going on during what has traditionally been a period of adjustment in New York, when a new mayor tries to establish a relationship with a governor. Historically, this is a relationship fraught with competition and friction, though aides to both men were quick to say that that would not be the case over this issue.
"It's really important that the city of New York and the state of New York, that the governor and the mayor, work very closely together," said Charles A. Gargano, chairman of the Empire State Development Corporation, who is one of Mr. Pataki's senior advisers. "It means the mayor and the governor working very closely. And so far and I have no reason to see anything different right now they have a great working relationship."
And the mayor and the governor have different needs here. Mr. Bloomberg is four years away from another election, assuming he runs again. Mr. Pataki faces re-election this November, and thus can ill afford to let the process run out of control. Several Republicans and Democrats noted that beyond the emotional and aesthetic forces at play, the reconstruction project will involve the awarding of billions of dollars in work to all kinds of companies and firms, including many that have long been supportive of Mr. Pataki's political campaigns.
Still, in the end, it seems likely that the mayor of New York is the one who will be judged by what happens on the patch of land where the World Trade Center once stood. Mr. Doctoroff said that the meetings of the development board to date have been notable for their comity, but it seems inevitable that there will be difficult times ahead.
"Somebody has got to be the leader here," Mr. Eimicke said. "Someone has to pull this consensus together. And the obvious leader here is the mayor."

WASHINGTON — Bank of America has reached an agreement to pay the government $425 million to end a loss-sharing arrangement involving risky assets from the company's takeover of Merrill Lynch.
The fee is being paid to the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Bank of America is paying the fee to get out of an arrangement in which the government had promised to cover $118 billion in risky assets acquired in the Merrill takeover. The arrangement was never used, but the government has argued that the bank benefited from the promise of protection.
