Posted: October 6, 2010 01:20 PM L'Isle-Jourdain, France --
No, not much has happened or is happening in this tiny, sleepy,
French town -- some might call it a village -- nestled in the
Vienne River valley in central France that would warrant a
"dateline." L'Isle-Jourdain just happens to be our first
sojourn after a long trans-Atlantic flight that originated at
the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and is the
first chance to reflect on our journey thus far. While we are
thoroughly enjoying our visit to this idyllic little town, our
thoughts go back to the Atlanta airport where, while
transferring between terminals, we were surprised by the number
of young men and women in pristine, desert-camouflage uniforms
who were walking purposefully through the concourses or riding
trams towards the gates and to the aircraft that would
eventually take them back to Afghanistan. Judging from the
reactions of fellow travelers, neither the sight n |

Marantz NR1403 receiver you have suggested, along with a
GoldenEar soundbar and Panasonic ST-series plasma. The dealer is
heavily pushing an Oppo Blu-ray player over the Panasonic player
we had chosen, saying Oppo is much higher quality. This
supposedly higher quality comes with a much higher price, $500
instead of about $100. We are not electronics buffs; we just
want to have a system that looks and sounds very good. Do you
think the Oppo is worth the extra investment? -- D. and H.M.,

Nov 20, 2011 at 3:28 PM I've listened to the new album about 10
tens through now and I thought this might be a good place to
share some thoughts. I'll preface what I'm about to say with the
fact that I am a long time, die hard fan and JA is still my
favorite band of all time. Having said that, I still have mixed
emotions about their newest offering. One of the first things I
noticed was the surprising lack of guitar solos. In full
disclosure, I'm a guitar player and Dave Navarro had a huge
influence on me. Now before someone says, "they only people that
care about guitar solos are guitar players" (which is mostly
true) I feel that Dave's leads played a major part in their
first three albums. I think 90% of those tunes had a solo or
obvious lead break. On the new album, and to a lesser extent on
Strays as well, its practically the opposite. So I wondering why
that is? I know Dave can still rip leads like no one's business

1. Names of everyone who was there (and apologies from those who
weren’t) 2. Key decisions made 3. Next steps and actions
agreed. If you don’t understand something then ask, if you
don’t understand what is being decided then it’s unlikely anyone

Microsoft Word, or use a simple tool like www.pailz.com, to type
up the minutes. Tools like Pailz help you by prompting you to
enter in all the right information that you need in a good
minutes document (names, apologies, date, the location and so

I debated only briefly whether it was appropriate to discuss the
sensitive issue of excessive eating in a publication devoted to
the admiration of large people. But the kind encouragement of
the editors, many letters from readers, as well as the fact that
I have always maintained that I would be remiss as a physician
if I did not acknowledge that there are negative health and
emotional sequelae for some large people, led me to tackle this
issue. Let me begin by emphasizing that if people have
consciously chosen to be large and understand the potential
sequelae...God bless them. Any examination of excessive eating
as a disorder should be aimed at those who are either
uncomfortable, have health problems, or simply want to change.
By strict definition a Compulsive Overeater is an individual who
is driven to eat "in excess" and either does not or cannot take

When we look at catchers, we have to look at consistency,

positions in fantasy, because the rankings can change from year
to year. Injuries have derailed the usual top catchers like
Victor Martinez and Jorge Posada, but that doesn't mean that you

of Russell Martin, Brian McCann, and Joe Mauer, as well as new

The original iPod was a triumph of form and function. It looked
great, its interface was simple and intuitive, and it stored and
played thousands of songs in an attractive, portable unit. My
first iPod was a 'third generation' 20GB model. It was the first
model that I condidered to have enough memory to carry around a
library of songs that represented my CD collection. I then
upgraded each time there was an increase in hard drive capacity.
As a result, I now own a 60GB iPod Photo which I listen to
through my car, studio and home stereo system. I love elegant,
simple design. The problem is, when a designer simplifies
things, they have to leave stuff out. And one designer's
'disposable' is another person's 'essential'. I think there
should be a couple of programmable buttons on the iPod, allowing
you to bypass the menu system for your most-used functions. I
would employ them to instantly switch between shuffle and

Kenan Evren, who led a military regime under which thousands
were tortured, hundreds sentenced to death and many more

In an interim judgment, the judge said only questions about coup
charges could be made during the proceedings, while the issue of
systematic torture was not a matter for the trial, drawing a
response from Evren. "We had nothing to do with torture," said
the former president, looking more alert than on Tuesday when he

published on Wed May 9, 2012 5:02 am And now we go to
southern Afghanistan for an update on an incident that
threatened to undermine America's mission in this country. In
March, an American soldier massacred villagers near a remote
outpost west of Kandahar. An Army sergeant, Robert Bales, is in
custody, accused of that crime. I reached NPR's Tom Bowman who
is in Kandahar now, just back from the area where Sgt. Bales was
assigned. And Tom, I understand you were just a mile or two
from where those killings took place. TOM BOWMAN, BYLINE:
That's right, Renee. It's called Zangabad. It's a combat outpost
just a short distance from the villages where Sgt. Bales was
stationed. He was at a different combat outpost called Belandai.
And investigators say he left his outpost - he was with the
Green Berets at the time - providing security for them. He left
this outpost twice in one night, 17 people were killed,

Statement "To the hands come many things. In a time of trouble

manuscript-in-progress, gloss, from which I culled my NEA
application, comprises a collection of poems from which a
fragmentary narrative emerges about my partner Craig and his
death in 2009. Most of these poems arise out of the whole
troubling idea of "getting it right"--loving, grieving, and
writing about it. Some of the poems in the collection employ
various species of gloss--footnote, index, definition--as a kind
of formal metaphor for the relationship between word and world.
So the central poem, "Love, an Index," admits to certain
difficulties in writing about memory and experience, while
bearing witness to the necessity of writing even with that
awareness. In another poem, marginalia collaborates with the
text to question its accuracy by adding to it. These poems let

have come at an opportune time for food safety agencies and

avoiding regulation like the plague, this bill has gained
support from numerous industry organizations, and for good
reason. The legislation seems to benefit not only the FDA, but
also food producers and consumers. The egg recall has made it
evident that the FDA needs more power and resources in order to

from Unreliable Parts October 29, 2009 A recent article in
Wired [1] piqued my interest because it touched on an
interesting subject. In it, a medical "gamma knife" used to
treat cancer patients had suffered from a software glitch. The
emergency shutoff switch had no effect, causing the staff to
have to run in and extract the patient before he was killed.
How does one create a safe machine? The first thought one has is
to make the machine perfect so it cannot fail. Evidently, the
designers of that gamma knife followed this principle, hoping
their software is perfect and following up on imperfections with
bug fixes. The problem with that approach, of course, is it is
impossible to create a component that cannot fail. As
programmers, we all know it is impossible to create bug-free
software. Even if no expense was spared, perfection can only be
asymptotically approached, at exponentially increasing costs.

There are three kinds of carbon arrows on the market right now:

right” Pie is food in its most perfect form, and combines all
four food groups: Sugar, grease, starch, and crunchy. Those who
believe that pie is unhealthy are mistaken. Pie is available in
many sizes, from family size (or snack size to the average
American) to those little pies at the check-out line. Nobody
makes better pie than Mom.[1] The filling in the pie is usually
fruit, but it is sometimes pumpkin and rhubarb; there are also
meat pies, where the filling could in theory be anything, so
watch out.[2] It could be four-and-twenty blackbirds;[3] you
just don't know. Another notorious filling of a meat pie that

4.696893 | -3.214826 | 1 | Pardew unconcerned by Cabaye buy-out rumours Newcastle United
manager Alan Pardew is unmoved by reports claiming midfielder
Yohan Cabaye can buy out his own contract for £6 million. The
St James' Park outfit rejected overtures from Arsenal in the
close-season, with Arsene Wenger's men offering a reported £10
million sum, while Paris Saint-Germain have previously been
linked with a move for the France international. Cabaye looks
unlikely to be sold in the January transfer window, but reports
in the media surfaced on Thursday that Cabaye could potentially
take matters into his own hands. But Pardew remained relaxed on
the issue, saying: "It doesn't worry me. The point you are
raising is something that has been raised at an international
level, it's not isolated to Yohan Cabaye. Meanwhile, Pardew
admits he would like to add to his squad in the transfer window
with forwards Luuk de Jong and Remy Cabella rumoured to be
potential targets, but the 52-year-old confirmed the club had
made no bids thus far. He |
4.75235 | 1.46105 | -1 | Arthur shall return Cinar Corporation and WGBH Boston have
announced that Emmy award-winning ARTHUR, PBS' top-rated
children's series, will return with 10 new programs and 65
encore broadcasts in its fourth season, premiering October 1999.
This daily animated series is based on the award-winning
children's books by author Marc Brown, who is also ARTHUR's
creative producer. ARTHUR's fourth season begins with, not one,
but two musical guest stars: classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and
jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman who "appear" as themselves in the
season's opener MY MUSIC RULES. Through a series of mix-ups,
Arthur and D.W. invite both Ma and Redman to perform at the
Elwood City Library's music series. If that weren't enough, both
musicians agree to play, which causes a huge argument between
the kids over which music is better, classical or jazz. Arriving
at the concert, Ma and Redman must settle the score. The finale
- a spirited cello and sax rendition of that ARTHUR "favorite,"

profit from children that have learning difficulties, as they do
from accelerated learners; however they do not do justice by
either of those groups. The children with IEPs get basically
shunted from grade to grade with no one really caring what

for someone to help explain how to clear an array of values
currently stored in it. Would you go through the array line by
line and write = "" or would you use to ReDim statement. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. • pseudocoderpseudocoder
Posts: 669Member ✭✭ I'm not sure how later versions of VB
handle it, but you might try the Erase function. If the array is
static, the function will clear the value of each element; if
the array is dynamic, it will destroy the elements. •

-1.925816 | 2.588188 | 54 | How to describe animals Slow worms are not worms, and they are
not slow. Sometimes confusion must come before clarity. And
that is never more true than when describing our native UK
wildlife. For example, slow worms are not worms, and they are
not slow. Whales swim in our seas, but the impressive killer
whale, which frequents the coast of northwest Scotland, is not a
whale at all. That is why many call it an orca. Bucks roam our
countryside: male deer, hares, ferrets and rabbits are all
bucks. But interestingly, none actually buck (only horses do).
Rabbits give birth to kittens, but kittens can also be baby
cats. It's almost impossible to describe a butterfly that
cannot be a moth, and a moth that cannot be a butterfly, while
similar is true for frogs and toads. The common names of
animals are nouns. But when describing animal behaviour, the
same words are sometimes used as verbs. • A perch is a
freshwater fish, whereas birds might perch on a branch. It is an
accident of language that the same word |

Issues, Need Help Last response: in Toms Network I am
currently having issues with my internet connection. This
happened to me today while I was browsing the internet and the
internet just randomly died, but then said it was still
connected. I experienced this problem earlier, going through the
typical troubleshooting methods. Eventually I reinstalled my
ethernet drivers for my mobo and it fixed it for about three
weeks, but apparently that won't work this time and now that
I've reinstalled this time I'm getting a "limited or no
connectivity" error and when I try repairing or disabling and
reenabling I'll just get the same error. My first attempt to
solving the problem was restarting the router, but that didn't
work. I have four other computers accessing the router fine, but
mine won't. It's a Netgear modem/router and if my ethernet were
registering properly I would have an amber light but instead I
have a green light. So the problem isn't th |
