Fayose Detained By EFCC, PDP Raises Alarm, Nigerians React
Immediate past governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele fayose was on Tuesday grilled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) after he voluntarily appeared at the commission's office amidst fanfare.
The anti-corruption agency according to reports, detained and drilled Fayose, asking the ex-governor to return N1.3bn received from former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki through Musiliu Obanikoro.
However, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) has accused the Presidency of directing the EFCC to incarcerate, Fayose indefinitely.
Here's what Nigerians are saying
APC helped Kemi Adeosun to escape, Nothing has been done about Ganduje's videos and he has also refused to resign. Ayodele Fayose surrendered himself to The EFCC for investigation. I don't know how Federal Government is fighting this corruption.
— WAJUD ADEBIYI (@wajud_adebiyi) October 17, 2018
But wait o, I heard Ayodele Fayose is not detained for misappropriation of public funds but for receiving money from Dasuki during his re-election but is Obanikoro detained alongside him, because to my knowledge it was reported that he is the one that gave Fayose the said money
— #PrayForSudan (@Akmonabiodun) October 17, 2018
Ayodele Fayose is detained for receiving money from Dasuki? same Dasuki that has not been tried or found guilty of anything. This system is too corrupt. What a movie.
— Ibrahim Grema (@gremasmai) October 17, 2018
@officialEFCC are you pretending not to have seen the Ganduje's Agbada dollarization video??
Oh Ayodele Fayose is your project, as approved by Buhari.
Leave Fayose alone or charge him to court if you have anything against him.

Customer Support:
Politocracy: a political form of government in which the politicians and their ideologists work for the party not the electorate. The raison d'etre is to maintain
ideological and in turn policy dominance; the political class becomes self-serving thus divorced from objective governance.
In Politocracy The Game, players as candidates raise money from ideologically compatible interest groups to acquire the support of ideologically compatible constituents. While no
guarantee, the candidate with the most money secures the most constituents. That candidate has a good chance of winning, bad luck notwithstanding.
Candidates begin in the middle – as Centrists – ideologically "neutral". As the game progresses, candidates figure out that the ideological base of their supporting (owned) constituents
favorably aligns to the left (Progressive) or the right (Conservative). "Proper ideological alignment" produces optimal popularity and fundraising
benefits. Successful candidates declare an ideology that most advantageously aligns them with their constituent base and financial supporters.
The underlying mechanics of the game, e.g. the ideological basis of constituent groups and financial contributions of interest groups, is based are based upon
publically available and factual statistical data, voting behavior and financial contribution data.
Events, revealed when candidates land on Hope and Change squares, have positive and negative consequences. Many candidate decisions will determine the outcome of their campaigns and
the campaigns of others. Chance, dirty tricks, deception, just plain politics, negative advertising, pandering, media bias, the polls and the roll of the die all have an impact on candidates' plans
to occupy the White House.

Leeds & Northrup
Leeds & Northrup (L&N) Instruments started in 1903 when Morris Leeds and Edwin Northrup banded together in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to design and manufacture precision test equipment. Leeds & Northrup's main market for the instruments was laboratory experimentation in colleges and universities. As the company grew, it became a manufacturer of industrial tools for temperature sensor calibration and temperature monitoring, such as thermocouples and transducers. L&N built current shunts, galvanometers, potentiometers, decade boxes, and Wheatstone Bridges. Some L&N bridges were used to locate shorts in multi-conductor cabling. You can find used and refurbished Leeds & Northrup resistors, shunts, and bridges at ValueTronics.

Anyones opinions on this one?gooze wrote:(...)
What are the most common tasks in a multiple desk setup?
How do we want the desk to behave in a multiple desk setup?
I think one of the most common tasks is: plotting on one desk, bringing on dimmers and channels and patching on the other
or moving lights on one, conventionals on the other
or touring desk and house desk
or main desk in control booth, remote desk onstage during setup and while making moving light corrections.
And what about logging in as different users? What about one operator bringing in a channel and the other storing a cue without that channel (independent htp) in one case or with that channel in the other? Is it desirable if the "main" operator can get rid of channels on one hand, e.g. by bringing a submaster down? (three subs for three slave desks?)
Should we go back to channel partitioning where it is determined which channels a logged-in user can control?
You see, there are many questions. Which direction are we going?
I have at least one suggestion that could be a blessing on the short term and that would be to make the input from external sources act as though they would come from an exclusive submaster. So at least they won't end up in your cues as you program at the same time. But please see this suggestion as a side step. Let's first clarify how we want the big picture to look.

Case Study: Roles of Management in Regulatory Compliance
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Case Study: Roles of Management in Regulatory Compliance
You are preparing for the final exit meeting with Anthony's Orchard. You have probably met with management at various stages throughout the audit. Now it is time to meet with the senior management and the board to review and provide the audit findings and conclusions. You will also need to outline any concerns so management can develop action steps to eliminate those concerns.
• Given the limited information from previous weeks, what kind of opinion would you give to Anthony's Orchard?
• Depending on the type and complexity of the company, regulatory compliance may also involve one or more auditors. These may include an outside or independent accounting firm and/or local, state, and federal agencies. Evaluate the impact of involving additional auditors, outside auditors, or government agencies in regulatory compliance.
• As you prepare, think about the entities that could be involved in the auditing process. What are their roles in auditing Anthony's Orchard?
• How would Anthony's Orchard build transparency into their governance and compliance systems?
• What are the roles of management and the board? What controls have been put in place to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) to prevent bribery and corruption?
• Which regulatory agencies and which rules and regulations would be part of the overall management of compliance for Anthony's Orchard?
Be sure to include in your paper, information from, but not limited to, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC, PCAOB, and any other regulatory agencies that may have an effect on Anthony's Orchard.
Solution Preview
Step 1
Given the limited information from previous weeks, the auditor's report that will be submitted will be a disclaimer of opinion. There is limitation of scope which is imposed by client; as a result the auditor is unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence. According to the law, if there are significant scope limitations, whether intentional or not which hinder the auditor's work in obtaining evidence and performing procedures. The problems created by the employees and partial support provided by the management is the cause of scope limitations.
Step 2
Since Anthony's Orchard is a public company, it must appoint an external auditor who performs an audit in accordance with specific laws or rules on the financial statements of a company. The stakeholders of Anthony's Orchard such as the investors, government agencies, and the public rely on the external auditor to present an unbiased and independent audit report. The external auditors must be certified public accountant who may perform audits and attestations on an entity's financial statements and provide reports on such audits for public review. An external auditor is required to comply with stringent requirements set by Sarbanes -Oxley Act. He is required to evaluate internal controls and financial reporting. The auditor must be independent.
Step 3
There are several entities that are involved in the auditing process. First Anthony's Orchard is ...

Ep4: Fox Spain, 22 April 2013
Albert Einstein's blackboard in Harvard University offer new cluse to the Modern Skeptic gang, while Laila is finally rescued—but is she all that she appears to be?
Zero Hour lives—it's coming back to ABC from mid-June, but Fox in Spain couldn't wait and has begun screening the unseen episodes (in English). ABC dumped the show just as things were really getting good, with Albert Einstein's last words playing into the plot in 'Pendulum'. It shows the level of mad invention on this series that this is all played dead straight by the cast.
It was clear that the chase after kidnapped Laila couldn't go on for long, and following a confrontation with Vincent (in which he is wounded) in 'Pendulum', she is finally able to escape in 'Chain' and return to Hank. However, by the end of the episode it is clear that she's somehow connected to the plot against Hank, making her curiously co-incidental 'discovery' of the first clock in the opening episode make a bit more sense…
The best thing about 'Chain' is Anthony Edwards brilliantly lame German accent—when playing the part of his historical doppleganger in flashbacks he seems to have decided to channel Arnold Schwarzenegger at his most incomprehensible. It's great! The madness doesn't stop there as we finally see what's in his mysterious box: it's only the 'true cross' upon which Christ was crucified! Hurrah! That's typical of Zero Hour's ludicrous, but madly brilliant, plotting.
Laila's betrayal will hopefully give the next few episodes a different narrative hook than the chase to find her, and might even shake Hank up into the bargain.
Verdict: Madly entertaining as ever (a series you can laugh at and with), it's a shame US broadcasters were not prepared to give Zero Hour a fair go…
Episode 3 'Pendulum': 7/10
Episode 4 'Chain': 7/10

"Remember the dignity of your womanhood. Do not appeal, do not beg, do not grovel. Take courage, join hands, stand beside us." —Christabel Pankhurst
It is the Day of the Girl: a day I didn't know existed.
I look at this little tiny girl image of myself and think how sweet and unknowing she was. She didn't even know her bangs looked sweetly off kilter. She had yet to learn she had a cowlick and therefore bangs were never a good idea, anyway.
I laugh at that now, too – or would that be considered laughing WITH that?
I'm not sure: but Day of the Girl reminds me of my daughter as little girls and the times when I was more optimistic. I was until the last few years inherently I would say almost stridently optimistic. There is a part of me that wishes I still was that way. It made for a much happier overall Julie.
The thing is, I believe we choose the way we experience things.
I may choose optimism by stepping into a practice of gratitude for example.
This Julie-as-Director-Artist-Activist was optimistic to her core, even when she angrily threw her script down due to conflicts at
home while she worked to create a meaningful presentation of an important work.
When I look at the most recent image of me, I see the littlest Julie with the sweet bangs and the strident optimistic angry flare up Julie as well.
I have always believed and stood for equality and like Mrs. Pankhurst, don't believe in groveling or begging.
I think what I need to remember is the courage of joined hands, especially joined hands with other women of all a variety of ages, abilities, ethnicities, persuasions, socioeconomic, faith and activist groups.
Dignity and honor as we rise, separately and together.
It is the Day of the Girl, a day I didn't know existed. Now that I know, I celebrate the continued path to equality.
Julie Jordan Scott inspires people to experience artistic rebirth via her programs, playshops, books, performances and simply being herself out in the world. She is a writer, creative life coach, speaker, performance poet, Mommy-extraordinaire and mixed media artist whose Writing Camps and Writing Playgrounds permanently transform people's creative lives. Watch for the announcement of new programs coming in soon!

After facing a number of issues with supply shortages, HTC has released a statement promising general HTC One availability in the U.K., Germany, Taiwain and all across Europe next week with North American and Asia-Pacific to get the device before the end of April.
Here's the statement in full:
"HTC has seen unprecedented demand for and interest in the new HTC One, and the care taken to design and build it is evidenced in early reviews. The new HTC One will roll out in the UK, Germany and Taiwan next week and across Europe, North America and most of Asia-Pacific before the end of April. We appreciate our customers' patience, and believe that once they have the phone in their hands they will agree that it has been worth the wait."
The delay really isn't that bad, but it does give the phone less time to gain traction before the Galaxy S4 hits stores. On the other hand, HTC seeing "unprecedented demand" and interest in the HTC One sounds promising. Hopefully the device will prove to be a formidable competitor against Samsung's behemoth, the Galaxy S4.
Which device are you planning on getting? An HTC One or a Galaxy S4? Let us know in the comments!

The DPC has published its response to the recent Intellectual Property Office consultation on exceptions to copyright law with a detailed discussion of how these proposals impact on digital preservation.
In summary, the DPC warmly welcomes the proposal to permit multiple copies to be created for preservation purposes. It notes and welcomes the proposal to broaden the types of content that can qualify for this exception and welcomes the proposal that extends this exception to a wider range of institutions.
The DPC seeks a number of clarifications to ensure that perfectly reasonable preservation actions are not inadvertently inhibited. For example the Coalition want to ensure that institutions are not prevented from collaborative preservation and is concerned that attempting to restrict preservation copying to an institution's permanent collection may interfere with perfectly laudable and reasonable rescue and appraisal efforts.

- Robot Mode (With Convoy's missile launchers on arms, alternate configuration)
- Robot Mode (Holding Convoy's missile launcher)
- Robot Mode (Missile pods attached to chest)
- Robot Mode (Missile pods open)
- With G1 "Anime Color" Starscream (Robot Modes)
Like Optimus Prime or Megatron, Starscream is one of those names that even the most casual of Transformers fans will find familiar. Robotmasters seems to be using major characters for a lot of the new molds, and in this case, Starscream fits the bill. Not only is he a major character, but he is also one that has begged for a brand new sculpt/design for quite a while now. Robotmasters delivers this with its version of Starscream.
Tech Specs (Translated by Doug Dlin):
Name: STARSCREAM
Function: Air Commander
Profile: A genius of guile, capable of reaching speeds up to 950 mph in his normal jet mode. Fancies himself as handsome, and seeks to take control of the Destron forces. Being a former scientist, he is quite used to handling solitarium.
Weapon(s): Null Beam, Missile Pod
|Rank: 9
|Power: 7
|Defense: 7
|Stamina: 7
|Speed: 9
In this day and age, it seems no Transformers line is considered complete without a Starscream tossed into the mix somewhere. However, while many recent Starscreams have been homages or take-offs from the original G1 design, Robotmasters Starscream is the first toy in a while to represent a transformable version of the G1 character, based upon his G1 cartoon appearance.
Robot Mode:
Starscream's robot mode is sculpted with proportions that mirror his animated counterpart from G1. His wings are wide on the back, his legs start narrow and widen towards the feet while his arms are medium in size. While his overall design may seem rather simple, with little detail other than some etched shapes and lines on the main body, this is a true represenation of G1 Starscream's animated self, who
was never exacty choc full of detail to begin with.
The robot head is nice and streamlined, with the well known "vents" on either side of his face being slimmer than most Starscreams have had. His null ray cannons are nicely detailed however, and they follow the design pattern from the
animated series with a rectangular base telescoping into another leading to tubes.
Starscream's color scheme is simple, yet effective. He is mostly silver, with light blue parts on parts such as the lower arms and feet. His cockpit is orange (as it was in the animated series). The wings have red and white stripes on them. His head is black with a silver face and red eyes. None of these colors (aside from the black of course) are very strong, rather they are rather light shades, reflecting the bright, animated pallette of the G1 show.
The null ray cannons can be detached from the sides of Starscream's arms and then attached to the holes on his lower arms. Starscream includes two accessories not found in previous version: missile pods. These attach to the holes on his chest. They are nicely designed and done in vacuum metallized silver. Flip them open and inside you'll find six missile tubes. This was inspired by a sequence in a G1 episode where Starscream does actually fire a missile from
his chest.
Starscream has eleven points of articulation. While this is rather impressive for a toy based on the G1 design, I think the designers could have worked two more in on the legs. While his legs can kick forward, the knees do not bend. A hinge joint could have easily been added at the knees to allow movement back and forth.
Transformation to Vehicle Mode:
- Detach the null rays from the arms.
- Flip the robot feet up.
- Push the two lower legs together.
- Swing the wings down.
- Swing the robot arms back.
- Flip the fists up
- Align the upper and lower sections of the arm so the oval shaped pieces line up.
- Swing the chest piece out and move the nosecone so it comes out in front.
- Push the robot legs up.
- Push the wings into place.
- Rotate the horizontal rear fins.
- Attach the null ray cannons to the undersides of the wings.
Vehicle Mode:
Starscream's vehicle mode looks both sleek and detailed at the same time. All along the top of the vehicle you'll find line detail indicating where panels begin and end on the Decepticon. The nosecone even points down ever so slightly, emulating a stylized look at the jet mode that was seen on occasion in the animated series.
For those curious, you can take the special Robotmasters missile launchers such as the one included with Megatron and attach it to the undersides of Starscream's wings as "super" weapons.
The cockpit can open, but there's nothing really to see inside.
Color-wise, there are no surprises here. Starscream's silver/red/light blue/orange color scheme continues. On each wing there is a tampographed Decepticon symbol, and another is found on his nosecone.
Final Thoughts:
Though not perfect, Robotmasters Starscream is very close to the G1 Starscream toy fans have wanted for years. Kudos to the designers for making all his parts fit somewhere in both modes. One of the biggest problems fans have had with G1 Starscream is
that his fists, missiles and launchers are easily lost. Here, everything is in one package in either mode. Highly recommended.

Packed with heart-touching sentiments and action packed thrill; Homeland is an ongoing American espionage thriller produced by Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa. It is based on the Israeli series "Hatufim" or Prisoners of War, created by George Raff. With an impressive 8.4 on the IMDB, Its fifth season has been highly anticipated among the viewers. Aired by Showtime; Homeland first premiered in 2011. Its four seasons have received a multitude of glorious praises, awards and accolades. It is a gripping psychological and political thriller with strong characters played by veterans of the business.
The thriller stars Claire Danes as Carrie Mathison. She plays a CIA officer who has come to believe that an American Marine, who had previously been held captive by Al-Qaeda as a prisoner of war, has now been turned by the enemy. Thus, the former marine is now a potential threat to USA's national security. Carrie Mathison, the CIA officer is shown with the psychological disorder of bipolarity. Damian Lewis is casted as Nicholas Brody, the United States Marine Corps Scout Sniper. Both the actors have received Best Actor/Actress awards for the drama series due to outstanding performances.
The first season broadcasts Carrie Mathison as facing a dilemma at work when she is briefed by her boss, Director of the Counterterrorism Center David Estes that a Marine has been rescued in Iraq. Carrie considers Brody a potential threat to national security but he is hailed as a national hero back home. Carry trusts her mentor, Saul Berenson and puts Brody under surveillance. Brody attempts to kill the Vice President in a suicide bomb but falters at the last moment due to his daughter Dana, while Carrie becomes more cynical by her belief that Brody is a terrorist.
The second season follows Carrie and the CIA working with Brody to capture terrorist Abu Nazir. Brody gives in to the CIA interrogation after a confessional video and is now an asset for the CIA, sending information to both sides. The events bring Brody closer to Carrie. Brody silently kills the Vice President while the CIA tracks down Nazir and kills him. Seemingly free of being Nazir's man, Brody celebrates with Carrie at the CIA headquarters and both survive an explosion that kills Director Estes and many others.
Third season is packed with more action but takes on a comparatively leaner and smarter outlook. Brody is seen first hiding away in caracas, Venezuela. Carrie's life takes different turns in this season as she helps Brody escape and gives birth to a child.
Fourth season sees Carrie as CIA Chief Station in Kabul, Afghanistan. Carrie's struggles, both emotionally and professionally as she has to administer iron measures due to Pakistani terrorist groups and activists like Hussein Haqqani. There are changes inside the CIA and the characters are seen struggling in pursuit of a regulated security in the States.
The fifth season sets two years after the last season and is set in Germany, where Carrie is no longer an intelligence officer instead is working for a private security firm.
The TV series is packed with action and is bound to provide the entertainment that a good thriller must contain. An excellent plot and grip of actors has earned it the top slot in running shows.

Saluting the Retiring GMs
We enjoyed talking to some of the bigger-name general managers who are stepping down from their station posts at the end of 2010. Of course, the end of the calendar year always means a batch of prominent GMs calling it the end of a career, but it seems as though this season may have more than usual.
The ones we identified include WCPO Cincinnati's Bill Fee, KITV Honolulu's Michael Rosenberg, WHIO Dayton's Harry Delaney, KOAA Colorado Springs' David Whitaker, WRTV Indianapolis' Don Lundy, WTEN Albany's Mike Sechrist and WJAC Johnstown (Pa.)'s Dick Schrott.
A little further up the org chart, Jim Zimmerman is retiring as president of Media General's broadcast division.
Of course, we didn't get all the retiring GMs, so please pass along any names I may have missed, and a few words about that person's contribution to broadcasting.
And it doesn't just have to be station GMs. Feel free to share any long-tenured reporters or sales aces or creative services types who are stepping down in the coming weeks and deserve mention.
All the GMs I spoke to seemed to agree that there are some aspects of the increasingly 24/7 multiplatform local news cycle they won't miss. KITV Honolulu's Rosenberg mentioned his plans to take a cruise down the Amazon, visiting Devil's Island and the introspective spot known as Dreyfus Bench.
Rosenberg at his KITV going-away party
Once there, Rosenberg quips that he'll "contemplate multiplatform news delivery."
And I like Dick Schrott's plans for retirement, which do not include work of any sort, it appears.
"Thirty two years is enough," he said. "I'm going to take it easy."
Best of luck to all the soon to be former GMs.

Welcome Back
April 4, 2010 by Josh Deitch · 4 Comments
A hearty and healthy "Welcome Back" to all the details of Major League Baseball.
I love the digital age.
At exactly 8:23 Sunday evening, I knew baseball season had officially returned. Granted, I had arranged my Sunday around baseball's opening night.  I had spent the late afternoon and early evening grilling cheeseburgers with sides of sweet potato fries and grilled skewers of vegetables accompanied by a few adult beverages; plopped myself down in front of the TV and watched Baseball Tonight; and then switched over to YES and relished Josh Beckett's first pitch—even though Derek Jeter took a hack and bounced out to short.  However, the season didn't start for me until my buddy Tex sent me a simple text message:
Happy baseball.
Six minutes later, Jorge Posada drove a Beckett fastball off the Pesky pole down the right field line and my cell phone blew up. First my sister sent me an exultant "ha, yes,†followed immediately by my dad's "hip hip Jorge!†As I lifted the phone to respond, Curtis Granderson went deep over the right field bullpen. Now, we had something brewing.
Dad: Oy. You should have heard John Sterling's radio call on Granderson.
Andy (my old roommate): So what's john sterling's tagline for him?
Dad (immediately): "Oh Curtis – you are something grand-ish"
After a few others starting to flood my inbox, I managed to forward Sterling's unique tagline for a Granderson homer to Andy. He responded:
Just threw up a little in my mouth.
Baseball is back and I couldn't be happier to welcome everything about it back into my life. I'm not talking about the games and outcomes, because as important as they may be, they pale in comparison to the little emotion-filled intricacies, such as the above text conversation, that comprise the major league baseball season.
So, without further ado, allow me to welcome the details of baseball back into my life.
Welcome back, Michael Kay, head play-by-play man at YES. You're an excellent sports-talk radio host on ESPN radio. However, you constantly incite text messages from my sister like, What the hell is he going on about?
Welcome back, Karl Ravech, Tim Kurkjian, John Kruk, and "Baseball Tonight.â€Â It's still the best baseball show on TV, even with the addition of Curt Schilling. In fact, I kind of enjoy watching Schilling on my HDTV to see just how unkind the past few years have been to him. Was that joke too soon following his wife's recent book tour?
Welcome back to the rotating cast of goodness that is the MLBTV broadcasts of "MLB Tonight†and "Quick Pitch.â€Â Harold Reynolds and Mitch Williams are slowly becoming the voices of Major League baseball to me.
Welcome back, Joe Morgan and Jon Miller. Seeing the two of them in their garish ties and fake smiles always reassures me. They're alive. Good. Now I can change the channel.
Welcome back, Orel Hershiser. Hershiser killed it during the College World Series last year and was always a wonderful addition to the ESPN broadcasts during last season. I was elated to see him sharing the booth with Miller and Morgan.  Maybe he'll take airtime away from both of them.
Welcome back Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball sites. Between November and April, I have no idea what to do with my downtime. Now, I can once again obsess over players on the waiver wire, stay up way too late adjusting my lineup for the following day, read the countless number of "expert†sites touting the value of Adrian Beltre and Aaron Harang, and infuriate my fiancée as she finds my face glued to the computer screen once again.
Welcome back, HR, RBI, W, SV, WHIP, ERA; not to mention VORP, WAR, ERA+, OBP, OPS, BABIP, UVR and all the other advanced metrics illuminating every dark corner of the game.
Welcome back to my favorite websites: Fangraphs, Baseball-Prospectus, the MLB portal on ESPN.com, Baseball-Reference.com, MLB.com, Yankees.com, and of course Seamheads.com.
Welcome back barbecues and radio broadcasts of games blaring in the background.
Welcome back, chin music, taters, web-gems, diamond dailies, worm-burners, fifty-footers, "Red Sox Suck,†sausage races, bombs, shots, lasers, frozen ropes, nail-biters, shellackings, Baltimore chops, and pick-off attempts. Let's not forget to leave the door open for Bull Durham, Major League, Rookie of the Year, The Rookie, and this year's newest addition – Sugar.
Welcome back to the wild card, the All-Star Break, pennant races, and box scores.
Welcome back to the eternal background noise of my springs and summers.
And finally, welcome back to the "Seamheads writing†folder on my desktop. It's been far too long since I saved something to you.
I'm so glad to have you all in my life once again.

Theme: West Balkan & Turkey War Tour Country: Montenegro Language: Montenegrin Unit of Currency: Euro Location: Podgorica Year: 2013 Bucket list: Being taught another language while drinking sherry from a hostel owner
- Partaking in signature jumpin' photographs in the pouring rain
Recap of Podgorica, Montenegro:
I would like to start out with this post emphasizing that you are truly fortunate if you never run into a location that you thought was just mediocre, or perhaps lacked a smudge of culture, history, or had not given you that extra special feeling that you are presently in a great city.
I would have to say that if it would have been beach weather, then my plans would have changed and I would have re-routed myself to Montenegro's coast. However, it was in the middle of March and clearly it was not time for a beautiful sunny atmosphere or a turquoise coloration of warm-water to touch my toes.
Therefore, I settled to check out the capital, shy of a 2 hour coach ride to the Montenegro coast, in hopes that I would be surrounded in various cultures, absorbed in the history, and staying at a guest accommodation that was just a short trek to the city. With my 3 options, I stumbled into one of them – this was a destination located into the mountains filled with culture. Unfortunately, this post will not illuminate the sights and attractions in the city, instead it will define why a non-speaking English "hostel" owner created the most unusual, but crazy beautiful experience in Podgorica.
Before I entered into Montenegro's border, a fantastic rainbow formed in Shkoder, Albania and followed the taxi driver and I the whole way to the border patrol. Once we passed through a few smaller towns of Montenegro, the mountains seemed to set the backdrop for all these towns – individuals built their houses leading into the mountains; it was quite a cool sight to see. Nightfall crept up on us, and I turned and asked my little English-speaking taxi driver if we are almost there. He just shrugged at me, and as my stomach grumbled I prayed that we would reach my destination soon and a restaurant would be nearby! What seemed like ages ago when we first left Albania, we had finally arrived in Podgorica.
Of course, it was pitch black dark and the taxi driver mumbled something about getting another taxi once we drove into the center. The next thing I know he leaped out of the car and halted for the man in front of him. The second taxi driver came to my window and asked where I was headed (least that is how I interpreted it). Surprised, and confused I gestured that this taxi driver was to take to my guest accommodation, which I assumed (and was told via email) that it is close to the city center. Both taxi drivers chatted for a few minutes, then my luggage was transferred into the second taxi driver's car.
Gee wilkers,I thought to myself, "Where is this place where I am staying?" Another 20 minutes, plunging downward into bumpy roads and what appeared to be next to corn fields, I arrived at my destination. All of a sudden, a heavier woman sprinted out the door and yelling, "Jessica, Jessica, Jessica!" I had just traveled for 4 hours and was completely exhausted – so I dished out my best "I'm not tired" smile and politely introduced myself. A unique tone and a slew of Slovakian words rushed out at me. I remembered looking back and watched the taxi driver take off – here I was seriously, in the middle of nowhere with no language book of Slovakian in my bag (only Albanian). To make it worse, we were standing outside in the rain and as much as I tried to use the words to ask where I was staying, neither of us understood one another.
I recalled being in unique, and crazy travel situations in the past, but this one has taken the cake! I knew if I kept smiling, she would make her move (whether that was to invite me or show me to my room; either way, I am fine with!). Slowly she opened the door and in a very serious tone she said, "Sit Jessica!" Well then, I suppose that is my move! She had poured a glass of wine for each of us, and whispered it was Sherry when she handed it to me. From my observation, I could tell her that she was a bit of a heavy smoker (seems to be the West Balkan state way!), judging by her excessive butts in the ashtray and a chain-smoker cough that she had developed. She offered me a cigarette and I respectfully declined – I was not able to gesture that I am allergic to cigarette smoke; though that would have made the story a bit more entertaining!
After her TV show and a cup of tea that she insisted I took, I motioned that I was very hungry. Though, she did not know exactly what I was saying – rubbing your tummy apparently is an international gesture for hunger. Thank goodness she understood, I even looked up a few Albanian words in the process (compliments of Edona Hoxha in Kosovo!) and showed her my dictionary of words that I was hungry for – pasta, pizza, salad, etc. Not really knowing if this woman spoke any Albanian whatsoever, I took a shot in the dark and attempted to communicate again.
In return, she quickly grabbed the phone and said some gibberish that I could barely pronounce (let alone spell!). The next minute there was a knock at the door and a young woman started speaking English – brilliant, after 3 hours I may be able to push my communication a bit further, not to mention I can talk to someone about food and accommodation.
In the end, I was delivered a salad and small pizza. To top off the night, I had a few glasses of red wine with the older woman and listened and tried to decode her hospital story that she was telling me. What I gathered is that she was released from the hospital a few days ago, had some stitches in her hip (yes, she showed them to me), and that the red wine and my company was keeping her in good spirits.
Though we were not able to say much, it was still nice that she had taken me in and made my time in Podgorica not about witnessing the city attractions, but embracing the individuals themselves that make up this unique, yet crazy beautiful city.
Next stop: Istanbul, Turkey!

Najee – Mind Over Matter
An attentive observer of Najee's career will recognize the change of Najee's outfit on his last three albums. In the past dressed elegant like a nouveau rich Najee is now down to the earth. Indeed Najee's contact to audience and fan base is better than ever. Najee can look back on a long livelihood as one of the high acclaimed sax players. His contributions to the music world are constantly perfect.
The title of Najee's new album Mind Over Matter is inspired by Miles Davis' art of songwriting. "In his later years, he took a very loose and improvisational approach," Najee comments. "He would start with nothing more than a groove that Marcus Miller or some other member of his band would lay down. And from there he would just develop these melodies that were very simple but at the same time very compelling and very memorable. It was a creative process that bypassed the nuts and bolts of the song and just got right to the essence of it."
Najee's song writing process was supported by artists like keyboardist Jeff Lorber and vocalists Eric Benêt and Gary Taylor. The album opens the grooves with the urban Love You A Lifetime. Luscious sax layers are the melodious background for Najee's expressive sax solo enriched with some keyboard gimmicks. Jeff Lorber's superb Rhodes solo is the bridge to Najee's brilliant travel around on flute.

In Deed: Certificates of Authenticity in Art, is a catalogue of artists' certificates of authenticity from the past fifty years. It is a serious look at a little-studied phenomenon characterizing the trade, authentication, and aesthetics of contemporary art. The document guaranteeing authorship is hardly a twentieth century phenomenon. But the replacement of the artwork with the certificate, or the radical reduction of a work to the terms or conditions of its own making, is a hallmark of our own time. The composition of the artwork through legal, commercial, or literary language is a signature aspect of recent art. These certifying devices ostensibly take on supposedly neutral visual forms, known now as the "aesthetics of administration." But the very composition of such documents, the "I hereby testify," and "Certificates of Authenticity" forms, their pseudo-bureaucratic characteristic, and, often, graphic pizzazz, denote a singular and appealing form of work on paper. Interesting as graphic design, fascinating as self-portraits, self-branding, and self-advertising, certificates come in all types of guises. Some are executed by hand, others drafted by lawyers, and then there are the certificates that take the shape of form letters, to be filled out by the collector or curator, in the case of re-fabrications.
Artists include Ruben Aubrecht, Judith Barry, Robert Barry, Stefan Brüggemann, Hemali Bhuta, Shreyas Karle, Pierre Bismuth, Marinus Boezem, George Brecht, Daniel Buren, André Cadere, Marcel Duchamp, Maria Eichhorn, Urs Fischer, Dan Flavin, Andrea Fraser, Liam Gillick, The Felix Gonzalez-Torres Foundation, Hans Haacke, Edward Kienholz, Yves Klein, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, Ken Lum, Piero Manzoni, Gordon Matta-Clark, Josiah McElheny, Allan Kaprow Estate, Jonathan Monk, Robert Morris, Antoni Muntadas, Yoko Ono, Cesare Pietroiusti, Adrian Piper, Emilio Prini, Robert Projansky, Seth Siegelaub, Raqs Media Collective, Robert Rauschenberg, Sharmila Samant, Joe Scanlan, David Shrigley, Daniel Spoerri, Haim Steinbach, Superflex, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Ben Vautier, Lawrence Weiner, Franz West, Ian Wilson, Cerith Wyn Evans, Carey Young, Andrea Zittel, Heimo Zobernig.

The first "Just Because" post of the new HODINKEE is upon us, and we couldn't have picked a cooler watch. You are looking at an absolutely beautiful Rolex Submariner from 1962. Of course, this Submariner pre-dates those silly little things the Submariner is now known for called crown-guards. It is, though, one of the last pre-crown-guard subs and one of the last Subs with this bezel style, complete with a red triangle.
What makes this particular examples so great is the perfect patina on the dial and hands, the thickness of the case, and original faded bezel. This is also an example of the 5508 with a rare "Exclamation Point" dial (look at 6 o'clock and you'll see why), which were, according to some experts, only produced in late 1961 and 1962.
Just a beautiful old Rolex, don't you think?

Eurex, the international derivatives exchange, will expand its product portfolio and introduce 17 single stock futures (SSF) â on the Royal Dutch Shell shares and on the 16 sterling denominated components of the Dow Jones STOXX 50 index. The contracts will be available as of 21 May 2007. With this step, Eurex lists for the first time products denominated in British Pounds (GBP). The new futures cover shares of the largest UK companies, among others Barclays, BP, HSBC, Lloyds TSB and Vodafone.
With these new products, Eurex offers single stock futures on more than 400 equities from all major European countries. Being the fastest growing product segment on Eurex, in the first three months of 2007 more than 5.2 million contracts were traded â an increase of 114 percent compared to Q1 2006.
âThe new single stock futures further expand our product range in terms of currencies and countriesâ, says Peter Reitz, board member of Eurex. âThe cross-margining with our other products will allow customers to trade more efficiently.â The extension into a new currency is possible through the recognition of Eurex Clearing as an âOverseas Clearing Houseâ by the British regulator FSA. The product currency, the trading and clearing fees, the premiums as well as the variation margin will be in GBP.
The contract specifications of the new SSF are similar to the existing products. Contract size is 1,000 shares; and the UK single stock futures will be cash settled in GBP. To promote the new products, there will be a fee holiday until the end of November 2007.

Mr. Peabody is One Outrageous Dude, He's Totally in My Face!
I don't think anybody bothered to tell the Dreamworks execs that the "Poochie" episode of The Simpsons was supposed to be SATIRE. It's not a bloody instruction manual, ya schnorers!
I'm a huge fan of Rocky & Bullwinkle, but all these bad CGI movie adaptations just leave me feeling depressed. No wonder I have regular panic attacks about the thought of mortality. Movies like this are used by atheists as evidence in debates. Oy, my head hurts.
I wish I had some holy water. Back, back! The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you!

I was hoping you would have expanded on your distaste for this particular adaptation, because while I understand your problem with it being too hyped up and fast-paced, I don't understand what else you could have expected from an adaptation like this.
For one, it should be pretty obvious that at the very least, out of all of the movie adaptations of Jay Ward related properties; this is the one that stunk the least. Even George of the Jungle, (while it is still a decently fun 90s movie) includes humor that is borderline lame. And the Rocky & Bullwinkle and Dudley Do-Right movies epitomize early-2000s-style lame, pandering humor; and both were atrocious. Mr. Peabody & Sherman is nowhere near as dorky or lame as those others were.
I've also come to understand, while learning more and more about the film business, that one does have to compromise "loyal adaptation" with "box-office draw:" it's just a fact, and it will always be a fact. You can't make a film without backers, and you can't get those backers' money without guaranteeing that they will make it back with interest. It's a give-and-take system with the audience 2nd-in-line for satisfaction with the final product; most especially, and unfortunately, when it comes to the fans. Only when things start to shift more towards direct crowd-funding will this system change more in the fan's favor.
In terms of accuracy, you have a cartoon that was generally absurdist, had relatively mild clever and witty humor, and involved a time-traveling dog and his pet boy hopping to different eras getting involved with events in history; and not a single historical figure ever had a real problem with the existence of Mr. Peabody: every single person, past or present, was in on the gag. To the movie's credit, I think it gets most of these things dead-on. Updating a concept like this for the modern-day should be very easy, and in this case it was. The absurdist humor is more modern absurdist humor, choosing to use over-the-top personalities and quirky situations over word-puns and one-liners (which the original cartoon was mainly built on.) I think it was also okay for them to make Sherman Mr. Peabody's adopted son because that adds a better dynamic between the two. It also allows for their father/son relationship to be the main plot of the film rather than having some generic villain figure, which I think more movies could do without.
I'm not saying the old cartoon was bad: it was simply a cartoon of its time with older fashioned humor that was generally appropriate and un-insulting: except for its simplifying and stereotyping of most ethnicities. The new film is honestly an admirable job compared to many other CGI films of late, which tend to tick me off with how lazy they are getting (cough… "Rio 2")
So, again, I don't really understand what your problem with this was.

We've been skirting Italy for the last year and saw Roman's ruins and its influence everywhere, Turkey, Portugal, Spain, Croatia, England, the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic, I mean Czechia. Just yesterday the Czech Republic officially announced their country's new name, Czechia. And when people say Roman, they are referring to Italy in the overall, aren't they? Italian art, sculpture, architecture. At least as influence. So finally we are in Italy. In spite of the fact that I had great expectations about this place, in spite of the fact that we've been working up it it for the last year, still it is fabulous.
|Door from, or it is to, the past?
Even Project Fi, Google's international phone network, is weak where we're staying. It worked even in Czechia's tiny Český Krumlov, but not here. The Renaissance began in Florence but, at least at this point, it seems to be a bit of a technological backwater.
And, while I'm on a grind,I might as well add that it's been hard to find oatmeal at a decent price. That, of course, drove M. Lee (the oatmeal fanatic) to look up the history of oatmeal in Italy. Seems you could easily get it 30,000 years ago. The first evidence of humans eating oatmeal anywhere was discovered in a cave in Italy. I hope I'm wrong but, at least so far, Italy seems like an oatmeal backwater as well.
Italy also sucks when it comes to getting a big giant American cup of coffee. Europe in general doesn't do coffee like we do coffee so no surprise that even in this otherwise very cool airbnb the "big" cups hold about two sips. I say big but only compared to the other regular size cups, the thimble size espresso cups. But these are trifles. Florence is fabulous.

Kris Humphries' sweat managed to gross out an Oklahoma city Thunder fan this week after she made the choice to touch him.
The Brooklyn Nets forward was walking back to his teams dressing room when the Thunder fan reached out and touched him, not realizing exactly how sweaty NBA players become during the course of a game.
The woman's priceless reaction was quickly caught on video and began to go viral.
Kris Humphries isn't alone in his sweat filled role, he's joined by other top NBA sweat makers including Kevin Garnett, Lamar Odom, and Nick Collison.
Bleacher Report brings up a good point about the woman's decision:
"Would you run to touch some random dude after a workout at the gym? No, because that is gross and a little bit creepy. So, why do you have to touch an athlete after they finish up playing a hard-fought basketball game?"
Humphries was all over the court in his teams victory over the leagues leading team, scoring 11 points and seven rebounds, unfortunately he also managed to sprain his ankle during the outing.
Here's a video of the fan touching Kris Humphries as he walked into the team dressing room. Pay close attention to the fans face for her priceless reaction:
Would you reach out and touch a sweaty basketball player following a physically demanding performance?

I am being provided with product in exchange for sharing my honest thoughts by Hammacher.
My kids are my world, so when it comes time to select their Christmas gifts, I really put a lot of thought into it, and aim to find really fun and unique gifts that'll totally surprise them. My oldest loves to pour through gift catalogs and make his own wish list, but mama has a secret go-to store for the coolest gadgets and gifts that'll knock their socks completely off on Christmas morning!
Hammacher Schlemmer is amazing! I look forward to their holiday catalog every year, and I often browse their website for cool gift ideas for birthdays and special occasions.
Hammacher Schlemmer serves customers' needs in ways that no one else does or can. While some of the products may appear unusual, they all share the common goal of meeting the special needs of their many customers, just as a one-of-a-kind plumb bob did over a hundred years ago. From the beginning, their standards demanded quality, functionality and exemplary service. Some things should never change.
The Jalopy Jungle Gym - $299.95
This holiday season, we're excited to feature The Jalopy Jungle Gym- an amazingly fun indoor/outdoor play structure for kids! We have a lot of warm/mild NC winters, and I thought this would be a great gift to keep the kids active during those grey winter months.
The Jalopy Jungle Gym has lots of cool features that kids will love!
This is the activity car for toddlers with sand under the hood and a slide instead of a backseat. This stationary vehicle provides little ones with the same engaging activities found at a local park or playground. Its doors swing open like a standard coupé while its turning steering wheel and electric horn provide non-licensed tykes with the simulated experience of driving. Constructed of sturdy ABS that supports up to 110 lbs., withstands exuberant play, and has axle-absent rear "wheels" that provide the perfect place for toddlers to crawl through. Includes three button batteries. Sandbox sand required. Assembly required. Ages 18 months and up. 7 1/2' L x 3' H x 2 1/4' W. (36 1/2 lbs.)
A sandbox under the hood will give the kids plenty of extra outdoor fun!
My kiddos love their sandbox, but we've actually been talking about getting rid of it because it takes up a lot of room and has seen better days. I love that the Jalopy Jungle Gym takes the sandbox to a whole new level, and that it's able to be covered! It's a small, yet large enough play area for sand where kids can dig and let their imaginations take them to another place.
A talking car, too? Yes, please!
Just another cool feature- an electronic dash and steering wheel! Kids can sit in the car and have fun 'driving.' They'll be so excited to go from sandbox to car to slide that they'll have hours of fun right in their own backyard!
Since the weight capacity is up to 110 pounds, my 7-year-old should also be able to enjoy going down the slide. I love having outdoor toys that both kids can enjoy- they can be hard to find since there's such a big age difference between them.
Want it? Get it!
We can't wait for our Jalopy Jungle Gym to arrive in a few weeks, so we can try it out and share our thoughts with you! In the meantime, be sure to check out The Jalopy Jungle Gym, as well as other awesome gift ideas from Hammacher Schlemmer!

A new NASA study says the Perseids are the "fireball" meteor shower.
The peak of the 2013 version of Perseid Meteor Shower is coming!
What can star-gazers expect?
To paraphrase the great Jerry Lee Lewis: "Great balls of fire!"
Goodness gracious!
When, where & how to watch?
First of all, the 2013 shower, which got underway in early August and was scheduled to last into mid-August, was forecast to be at its fiery best on Aug. 11-12-13.
Sky watchers said they expected more than 100 meteors per hour at the peak, which was to start late in the evening on Aug. 11 and continue until almost dawn on Aug. 12.
The best times to watch?
In a nutshell: 10 p.m. to 4:30 a.m.
Absolute best time? "Happy Hour" was forecast to begin around 2 a.m.
Where's the so-called "radiant point" – the most reliable place in the night sky to see where the meteors originate? Between the constellations of Cassiopeia and Perseus (hence the name of the meteor shower).
Hint: If you don't know where those constellations are in the sky, your smart phone can help. My favorite sky-watching apps on my iPhone are StarWalk and Night Sky.
Why can't you begin to see the meteors until 10 p.m. or so? Because Perseus doesn't rise above the horizon in the northeast sky until about then. It gradually moves higher into the sky as the night goes on, as the meteors become easier to see.
How good was the 2013 shower expected to be?
Hard to predict, but Space.com said the Perseids are the most prolific meteor display of the year, and a new NASA study (see the video above) said the Perseids produce something like – on average – 568 of what astronomers call "dazzling fireballs".
So that's where the "Great Balls of Fire" line came from. We are not making this stuff up, folks!
Okay, how about a list of the best places to watch?
Generally speaking, as far away from city lights and nighttime "light pollution" as you can get. But for specific speaking, check out my earlier columns on this subject and a list of my ten favorite spots to watch.
Now here was why the 2013 Perseid Meteor Shower was supposed to be so great:
The moon. Or rather, the lack of it. Only a tiny crescent of waxing moon would be visible on the nights the Perseids would be best – and the moon was to have set early in the evening, well before the best of the meteor show started showering from the Heavens.
The new moon was Aug. 6, and some people were already out that night, and reporting a good number of those fireballs. Get out there!

It's been a while since I've written in this blog, but the Oktoberfest required a bit of work and as a result some of my other obligations were put on hold for the event. And my mother-in-law was visiting from Hungary– which brings me to the subject of this blog entry. While my mother-in-law was here she witnessed me in knee deep in the preparation for Oktoberfest. Fetching pumpkins and cornstalks, talking on the phone with vendors and contributors and meeting with the volunteers. She commended the efforts of the volunteers and the generous supporters of the event; she then recounted how in Hungary before the the fall of Communism such a desire showed individual initiative which was scorned. New ideas had to come from the party– if you weren't part of the party you were out of luck (my in-laws never belonged to the Communist Party). My mother-in-law then proceeded to describe the numerous festivals that now occur in Hungary; there are palinka (moonshine) festivals, garlic festivals, goulash festivals and half-naked Santas running throughout the streets of Budapest for cystic fibrosis. Such events were unheard of twenty-five years ago.
My point in this blog is that while the Oktoberfest isn't really even close to necessary for the survival of the Lansdale Library (it generates $5,000 which is only 1% of the Library's entire budget), it is an opportunity for a resident or local business (just look at a few of the forty-two banners– in the photo above) to have a direct and tangible say in where his or her money goes, which therefore creates ownership in a community– something that was lacking in Hungary before 1989 because theoretically, the government owned everything. Whether it is the Oktoberfest, the hugely successful Lansdale Craft Beer Festival, the Mardi Gras Parade, the Car Show Under the Lights, Lansdale Day, Manna on Main Street 5K runs, Bike Night or Founders' Day, these events create ownership in the community and through ownership comes caring and through caring comes a desirable place to live.
