I've seen an unexpected benefit to founders of Homebrew's ability to serve on your Board from Seed until B Round — you get an easy opportunity to add an outside Director earlier than most startups. Let me 'splain.
If you have a seed fund and/or founders who aren't interested in creating a Board together, you're likely waiting until Series A to add an investor. That traditionally means a three person Board (two founder seats and the Series A investor). When the startup then raises a Series B, you'd see the Board expand to five with the inclusion of the Series B fund and a common seat that will likely be awarded to an independent.
So, I think this is suboptimal and handicaps the founders. We've already written about why a good Board can be of help to even a seed stage venture, but now a few years into Homebrew, there's an interesting side effect — you get to a five person Board faster, which eases the addition of an outside Director. See, take the math from the paragraph above and just advance it a stage – three person Board at seed and five at Series A.
For example, BuildingConnected, which completed its Series A, has a Board consisting of the two founders, me (seed), Crosslink (Series A), and an extremely impressive industry executive as the independent. He's added a lot to the strategy, puts in time & sweat outside of Board meetings and is an excellent truth-teller to rest of us.
I'm not the only VC who believes — Foundry's Brad Feld wrote about the value of an excellent outside Director. Sometimes I have founders ask me for advice about Boards and early stage companies which veers into the "I don't want to lose control of my company" fear. My general belief is that a good Board is 10x better than no Board and a bad Board is 10x worse than no Board, so it all comes down to your investors and whether you're creating a Board composition that will be there to help you. At the earliest stages there's very little way to "lose control" of your company when it comes to the actual ownership and Board, unless you're taking non-standard terms and working with investors who aren't traditional, ongoing tech VCs. Don't do that.
Anyway, if you're a Series A or B company and you don't yet have an outside Director as part of your Board, I believe you're losing out on an opportunity to get input, guidance and credibility from an addition that goes beyond just bringing someone on as an advisor.

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic example of a Model 1941 Johnson rifle bayonet complete with original leather scabbard. The bayonet is numbered "21" on the base and "521" on the rivet. The leather scabbard is soft, pliable, and in great condition. Johnson rifles are difficult to find and the bayonets are even harder. This is an excellent piece of U.S. military history.
The M1941 Johnson Rifle is an American short-recoil operated semi-automatic rifle designed by Melvin Johnson prior to World War II. The M1941 competed unsuccessfully with the U.S. M1 Rifle.
The M1941 rifle used the energy from recoil to cycle the rifle. As the bullet and propellant gases move down the barrel, they impart force on the bolt head which is locked to the barrel. The barrel, together with the bolt, moves a short distance rearward until the bullet leaves the barrel and pressure in the bore drops to safe levels. The barrel then stops against a shoulder allowing the bolt carrier to continue rearward under the momentum imparted by the initial recoil stage. The rotating bolt, with eight locking lugs, would then unlock from the chamber as cam arrangement rotates and unlocks the bolt to continue the operating cycle. The Johnson rifle utilized a two-piece stock and a unique 10-round rotary magazine, designed to use the same 5-round stripper clips already in use by the M1903 Rifle.
This system had some advantages in comparison to the M1 Garand rifle, such as a greater magazine capacity combined with the ability to recharge the magazine with ammunition (using 5-round clips or individually) at any time, even with the bolt closed on a chambered round. Finally; that the Johnson rifle did not—unlike the M1 Rifle—eject an en bloc clip upon firing the last round in the magazine, was considered an advantage by some soldiers. A widely-held belief among US soldiers (when surveyed in 1952, 27% of soldiers held this opinion) was that the M1 Garand's distinctive clip ejection sound, the well-known "M1 Ping", presented a danger when fighting an enemy force, as the sound purportedly signaled to the enemy that the solder's M1 Rifle was empty and they could no longer fire in defense. Regardless any anecdotal beliefs and despite the popularity of the story—which persists to this day—there are no verified cases of an enemy using the "M1 Ping" sound to their advantage up through the Korean War. Unfortunately, despite the several advantages the Johnson Rifle design had over the M1 Garand rifle, the existing disadvantages were too great to change US rifle production from the M1 Garand. The Johnson's short recoil reciprocating barrel mechanism resulted in excessive vertical shot dispersion that was never fully cured during its production life, and was prone to malfunction when a bayonet was attached to the reciprocating barrel. Additionally, the complex movements of the barrel required for proper operation would be subject to unacceptable stress upon a bayonet thrust into a target. The Johnson also employed a number of small parts that were easily lost during field stripping. Partially because of lack of development, the M1941 was less rugged and reliable than the M1, though this was a matter of personal preference and was not universally opined among those that had used both weapons in combat.
As was Johnson's practice, he gave all of his weapons a "pet" nickname. Johnson christened his semi-automatic rifle Betsy and the Light Machine Gun Emma.
Melvin Johnson campaigned heavily for the adoption of the Johnson rifle by the U.S. Army and other service branches. However, after limited testing, the U.S. Army rejected Johnson's rifle in favor of the M1 Garand rifle developed by Springfield Armory.[6] The M1941 was ordered by the Netherlands for issue to the KNIL in the Dutch East Indies, but only a few rifles were shipped to the Dutch East Indies before the Japanese invaded. At this time, the U.S. Marine Corps found itself in need of a modern fast-firing infantry rifle, and acquired some rifles from the Dutch East Indies shipment for issue to its Paramarine battalions then preparing to deploy for action in the Pacific theatre. By all accounts, the M1941 performed acceptably in combat with the Marines in the early days of the Pacific fighting.
Weapon serial number A0009 was issued to USMC Captain Robert Hugo Dunlap, of Monmouth, Illinois, and he carried it into combat in the battle for Iwo Jima, beginning 19 February 1945. Captain Dunlap was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in that battle, and he retained and displayed the weapon until his death in 2000. He praised the rifle and credited it with saving his life and the lives of others.
Despite repeated requests by the Marine Corps to adopt the rifle, the Johnson rifle lacked the support of US Army Ordnance, which had already invested considerable sums in the development of the M1 Garand and its revised gas operating system, then just going into full production. Johnson was successful in selling small quantities of the M1941 Johnson Light Machine Gun to the U.S. armed forces, and this weapon was later used by both Paramarines and the Army's First Special Service Force. Additionally, in April 1944, the United States War Department offered the Free French military the use of approximately 10,500 Johnson rifles and 1,500 Johnson light machine guns; these guns were from undelivered Dutch/Netherlands contracts taken over by the United States Government in 1942. The French accepted them and issued them to their "Sovereignty troops" (i.e. units composed mainly of Europeans).
In late 1946, Argentina expressed an interest in Johnson's arms, and Johnson fabricated a prototype, the Model 1947 auto carbine, a semi automatic rifle variant of the light machine gun with the 10 round cylindrical magazine. While specific details are sketchy, it apparently bore little resemblance, but shared some features with the Johnson M1941 light machine gun. Argentina apparently declined to purchase any, and the M1947 auto carbine never went into production. In any event, the post-war years were not kind to the Johnson organization. The entity filed for bankruptcy and was liquidated in early 1949.

Basque Rock
Today joining the Xalbadors, the Axulars, pilota and dance, are the Niko Etxarts, Anje Duhaldes, Mixel Ducaus, Fermin Muguruzas, who are fully woven into the fabric of Basque culture. Since Etxart's "Euskal rock'n'roll" in the early 70's, the youth of that time decided that euskara (Basque language) would be accompanied by an electric guitar or sampler. And since then, it has become a genuine musical style, which has continuously evolved, producing its own legends and touching all sectors of the population in the Basque Country.
Youth from diverse backgrounds (urban coast to the rural interior of Euskal Herria) are surrounded by this contemporary music. They search for different things: Some are in search of their cultural orientation; some find their weekly escape; and others identify with the engaging message carried in the music. But it seems clear that for these youths, who have little in common, Basque Rock represents common ground, which is exemplified by the well attended annual rock music festival held in Xiberoa.

The Bands
The Basque Educational Organization has partnered with the Boise Basque Center and the Basque Government, to bring Basque Rock to San Francisco & Boise. Two of the Basque Country's premiere rock acts will be showcased, each playing their distinctive genres of Basque Rock:
BETAGARRI of Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque province of Araba), is an eight piece SKA-Rock band, that have been playing together for the past thirteen years and have produced seven albums. Their high energy live shows have made them a popular attraction in Europe & Japan.
BERRI TXARRAK of Lekunberri (Basque province of Nafarroa) have been playing together for ten years and have produced four albums, with a constant evolution that blends alternative rock, punk, metal and some amazing melodies. Singing in euskara, Berri Txarrak has become one of the best rock bands in the Basque Country. Their 4th album, called "LIBRE (c)" was distinguished as best album in Spain by Rock Sound magazine. Berri Txarrak's highly emotive, fresh and energetic songs with clever poetic lyrics convey a clear socio-political conscience from a reflexive point of view. The band has recorded their 5th album, which was mixed this summer in Kansas by American producer Ed Rose, and will be released later in October.
"Berri Txarrak is simply one of the best rock acts on the planet." - David Cox - music journalist

Party games can be a little challenging for under-threes, so it pays to have a few ideas up your sleeve to make sure they get some extra-special play on their special day.
Not quite sure how to play these games or keen for some 'no tears' tweaks to suit under-threes? Scroll on!
Party guests have fun dancing together and when the music stops, they have to freeze. Children who move are "out" – and you may choose to give them a prize – with the final child being the winner.
Hide a small wrapped treasure for each guest (and the birthday child) in the garden or party room. When a child finds a treasure, they are "out". You can spread out a picnic rug for children who have found their treasures to sit on together.
Piñatas are all kinds of fun for littlies. Just remember to keep everyone well back and forgo the blindfolds for younger children.
Hide a birthday teddy in the garden – a bonus gift for the birthday child – and have the children help to look for it together chanting "We're going on a bear hunt, we're going to catch a little one!" When the teddy is found, everyone gives him a hug and gets to choose a small prize. The birthday child keeps the teddy.
Set up individual bubble mix and wands and invite children to blow as many bubbles as they can. Print out 'Champion bubble blower' certificates and give one to each participant.
Use your imagination and make the categories up as you go along! For under threes, it's good to award a small prize to each child for taking part. No need to have an overall winner though.
Buy a Pin the Tail on the Donkey game and skip ahead by putting the tail on the donkey from the get-go. Now give each child a few stickers and let them take turns popping them wherever they like on the donkey! There is no winner, except the birthday child, who gets to keep the lovely sticker-decorated donkey.
Little party guests line up behind an adult leader and then trot along after him, copying any actions that they're doing. Arms up! Arms down! Bottom wiggle! Funny walk! The sky is the limit. Play a short song to set a timeframe for each game of Follow the leader.
Collect lots of fun dress-ups and invite children to choose a special look and walk in a fashion parade. Everyone gets a clap and a cheer in this game. You can take photos of party guests with an instant camera – or use a digital camera and email with a 'thank you for attending' note.
Remember to keep games short and simple, make everyone feel included and have plenty of little prizes to bestow along the way.
We hope you – and your preschooler and their little guests – have the best party EVER!
Keen to find the perfect kid-friendly soundtrack for your little one's birthday party? Check out our Kinderling House Party mixtape for some pumpin' tunes, or perhaps our Slumber Party mixtape might be more your style? And don't forget, you can request a birthday party song and record a message to play on Kinderling Kids Radio on their special day. Here's how!
Free birthday stuff for everyone!

The quality and style of these beads- amazing!
I truly love these beads. Made very well with quality and care.
There is no question that these prayer beads are of the highest quality and very sturdy. I would say to expect them to appear a little more toward the green color when worn, unless against a white shirt.
But they are beautiful, and I've loved that they remind me to be grateful and take more time to focus my energy toward gratitude, releasing toxic thoughts, and being at cause for my purpose.
I def will be ordering additional items from this co for gifts!
Very nice mala, works great for meditation!
Beautiful great quality every single time I order, promt delivery as well.
VERY well and beautifully made. I needed a little help learning how to tighten and loosen the beads. Dawn was very kind in walking me through this. I'm grateful for the thought and care that shines through.
Very pleased with beads. They are of great quality and style!
Beautiful beads and Tastefully sent with a color coordinated bag.

Word and Mouth project manager Jim Gow said the screening was aimed at those aged 15 and above due to the horror themes, promising the event would be something new and different.
''We've had this pinned to our ideas board for a year or two and we managed to align the ducks and get it off the ground this time,'' he said.
Produced in 1975, Jaws was Steven Spielberg's first major hit film, becoming critically and commercially successful and a key movie from the era.
Mr Gow said the screening was the first event for the 2019 Word and Mouth calender, with many more creative activities planned.
''We too often hear that there is nothing to do in the area for young people and we are constantly looking to change that, which includes getting young people off the couch in a creative and fun manner, with a sprinkling of horror thrown in,'' he said.
The event is for one night only tomorrow. Bookings are required through Eventbrite before the night. Entry is $12 per person and no tickets will be sold at the door. Doors open at 8pm and entry is via the main Aquamoves entrance. No BYO food, however food, including popcorn and drinks, will be available from the venue. Visit Facebook for more details.

'70 MODEL SALES OF PLYMOUTH CHRYSLERS FALL
Topics: Plymouth
Florida Automotive Journal
Chrysler - Plymouth Division has reported that retail deliveries of new cars during the 1970 model year totaled 855,631 units, compared with sales of 912,842 new cars during the previous model year.
R.K. Brown, division general manager, said that sales of the compact Plymouth Valiant not only set a new model year record, but also hit a new calendar year high during 1970. Valiant, led by the highly successful Duster model, recorded sales of 196,937 units, topping the 1960 calendar year high of 196,480 units with three months left in the calendar year.

Role-Model for Muslim Youths throughout Europe, Portrait Tariq Ramadan
Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan is the idol of the Parisian suburbs. He is fighting for a modern Islam and against what he calls "Jewish intellectuals". Now the US administration has revoked his visa.

Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan is the idol of the Parisian suburbs. He is fighting for a modern Islam and against what he calls "Jewish intellectuals". Now the US administration has revoked his visa. By Jörg Lau
My attempts to hold an uninterrupted conversation with a 42-year-old man with designer stubble in a café in his native city of Geneva are doomed to failure. Young men wave from the street when they catch sight of him: calling out "Tariq! Tariq!" they smile broadly when he casually returns their greeting. One of them approaches us and offers to buy a round: "You were brilliant on television. You really showed the Minister of the Interior!"
The object of their admiration is not a pop star, but an Islamic scholar by the name of Tariq Ramadan. He teaches at the Swiss universities of Freiburg and Geneva, but has long been an icon throughout the French-speaking world.
As a matter of fact, his sphere of activity should have increased even more over the past few days. The Catholic University of Notre Dame in Indiana appointed Ramadan to the chair for Religion, Conflict and Peace-building. However, just a week before his departure for the United States, Ramadan learned that the American Department of Homeland Security had revoked his visa.
The US Foreign Office hinted that this unusual step was based on the anti-terror Patriot Act. The snubbed university is now demanding proof from the Bush administration that the man they wanted to employ as a bridge-builder between Islam and the West is, in fact, a security risk.
Recordings of his lectures have reached sales of 60,000
His incessant publications, travels, and lectures have made him the voice of young Muslims in the French-speaking world. Tariq Ramadan grew up in an environment steeped in politicised Islam. In 1928, his Egyptian grandfather, Hassan al-Banna, founded the Muslim Brotherhood, "the archetype of all militant Islamist groups."
His father was al-Banna's favourite pupil. Persecuted as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Said Ramadan went into exile in Geneva, where he founded the Islamic Centre: a Western European dependence of the Muslim Brotherhood. The influence of the centre was massive and even spread to the Black American civil rights activist Malcolm X.
Reforming Western society based on principles of democracy
Tariq Ramadan has remained faithful to the family legacy: he too wants to penetrate both politics and religion. However, he is not working towards a putsch in any distant country; he seeks reforms in Western society. Like his father and grandfather before him, he wants these reforms to be in the spirit of Islam; but unlike his father and grandfather, he wants them to be based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law.
For years he has stood up in front of hundreds of people several times a week and spoken about the "Future of European Islam". A network of devoted followers organises his appearances. Recordings of his lectures have reached sales of 60,000.
Promoting a unique, unmistakeable Islamic identity
Ramadan is the hero of the French suburbs. Eloquent, educated, and self-confident, he demonstrates an attitude that is well received by his community because it disturbs the majority of people in society: at last a Muslim who plays neither the victim nor the preacher of poisonous hate, but who instead promotes a unique, unmistakeable Islamic identity.
"It is high time we Muslims in the West," he says, "freed ourselves from our double inferiority complex: our feeling of inferiority towards both the West and the Islamic world, which claims to represent the pure teachings of our faith."
"We have to offer an Islamic alternative"
Tariq Ramadan considers himself to be the voice of an "intellectual revolution" in Western Islam. "I say to Muslims: stop viewing yourselves as a marginalised minority. It is no longer about integration; it is about participation. We have to offer an Islamic alternative."
When the French Minister of the Interior, Nicolas Sarkozy, was involved in a television debate about the Muslim headscarf last year, the obvious choice for his opponent in the debate was not just any old representative of official Islam, it was Tariq Ramadan.
"My furniture is already in America," says Ramadan, obviously wanting the statement to be taken symbolically, not literally. His followers are left in no doubt: the empire got cold feet; the empire is afraid of Tariq! The Bush administration has once again proven its talent for playing into the hands of conspiracy theorists. People are already talking about a conspiracy from "Jewish circles".
No immediate ban of stoning of women
It is not the first scandal surrounding Tariq Ramadan's public work: in Geneva he succeeded in preventing a performance of Voltaire's Mahomet because, he says, the play insults the Prophet. When asked about the stoning of women who commit adultery, he calls for a "moratorium" and a "wide debate within Islam", but not for an immediate ban.
In October 2003, he entered the debate about the Iraq war and new Islamic anti-Semitism in France with a "criticism of new communitarian intellectuals." Ramadan dismissed prominent hawks like André Glucksman as "Jewish intellectuals" whose anti-Saddam policy is based on "community logic".
Ramadan suggested that while these Jewish intellectuals were using the rhetoric of human rights, they were in fact representing Israel's interests. When asked why, if that was the case, Glucksman had taken the side of the Bosnian Muslims and the Chechens, Ramadan looks at a bit of a loss.
For weeks, the "Ramadan affair" - as this incident is known in France - was debated in the French newspapers. He is now viewed by some as an anti-Semite. It is very likely that Ramadan's irresponsible tirade cost him his professorship in America.
Speaking out against anti-Semitism in the Islamic community
Ramadan just cannot understand it: is he not one of the few prominent Muslims to speak out clearly (in the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz) against anti-Semitism in the Islamic community? Is he not right to complain about the "lack of trust in public discourse"?
Obviously, he himself often suffers from a lack of trust: he repeatedly paints a picture of a Western society that is "prejudiced, racist, and Islamophobic through and through". The fact that his own father owes his life to the West, while his grandfather was murdered by the regime in Egypt, has not toned down his radical diagnosis that the West is suffering from a chronic hatred of Islam.
Maybe Tariq Ramadan's deep ambivalence towards the West is a legacy of his family constellation; maybe it is a tactic that allows him to talk to both sides. In his work, the recognition of the rule of law, rationalism, and freedom for citizens grapples with old feelings of cultural-religious superiority.
Clever differentiation
For Ramadan, the West is not - as tradition would have it - the enemy "house of war". It is the "place to bear witness" where Muslims are free to live according to their faith. He uses a clever differentiation to isolate "actual Islam" from all the mistaken developments that have taken place down through the history of Islam, for which he blames "Islamic cultures" outright.
The oppression of women, the lack of freedom, and the backwardness of the Arab world have nothing to do with a universalistic teaching that has been wiped clean of the stain of history. This argument is more than a little reminiscent of a socialist apologetic.
The Prophet and his disciples as the forerunners of Attac
For Ramadan's readers there can be no doubt that Islam is a morally higher alternative to the existing order. When Ramadan speaks of a reform of Islam, he is not really talking about Islamic self-criticism, but rather about a cultural criticism of Western decadence as seen in the light of the revelations of the Prophet.
His talent for interpretation leads him to draw some bizarre parallels: he succeeds in describing the Koran's ban on interest as evidence that the Prophet and his disciples were like an earlier version of Attac's anti-capitalists. He is always a welcome guest among people who are critical of globalisation and never fails to get a hug from French activist farmer José Bové.
Ramadan calls on Muslims to crawl out of the identity policy niche and to stop "thinking in terms of binary opposites". At the same time, he condemns consumerism and loose enjoyment, for which young immigrants in particular have developed a penchant.
In favour of religious pluralism
For Ramadan, the headscarf is an indication that young Muslim women are avoiding "the uncritical adoption of the fashions and behaviour of other people in Western society". He also believes that the struggle by young Iranian women against the enforced wearing of headscarves proves that pressure and violence are wrong.
So does that mean that the Ayatollah's end (building a theocracy) was honourable, but his chosen means ill-advised? Ramadan rejects this idea. He is in favour of religious pluralism and is not promoting Islam as the solution.
He also criticises the kidnapping of French journalists in Iraq and the kidnappers who demand an end to the ban on wearing headscarves in French schools.
Tariq Ramadan has succeeded in being promoted to the position of unofficial spokesman for a Euro-Islam that has abandoned the shattered self-confidence of the Diaspora and accepts the here and now of the modern Western world as its sphere of activity.
That alone is a service, even though it cannot be said for certain that it justifies the fact that Ramadan is labelled a liberal reformer. It would be wrong to exclude him from the debate about the Muslim's long path to the West. There are not many other people like this double agent of Modern Islam who are listened to by both sides.
IKhwanWeb Editor: One of the widely circulating myths about the Muslim Brotherhood in the West is the allegation that the Muslim Brotherhood is the source of militant Islamic groups in the middle east and worldwide. Since its conception in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood has always worked to revive Islam and apply its noble principles in the daily life of Muslims. The wake up call by the Muslim Brothers touched on the hearts and minds of millions of Muslims around the world. Although the Muslim Brotherhood has succeeded in spreading the spirit of conservatism in Muslim societies, but it was clearly the lack of freedoms and the constant oppression against conservative and none violent youth by the unjust and autocratic regimes in the Muslim countries that has resulted in creating violent tendencies by many young Muslim men whose beliefs have deviated from the real teachings of Islam and adopted a violent approach for change. The Muslim Brotherhood certainly believes in reform "in the spirit of Islam based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law" ( see full comment in editorial message section)

Q: Galaxy S4 memory management We have specific problem with this device (Samsung S4). Every launch of the application (even if the app is in background and is brought to the front again) takes about +1MB of RAM. I know this is a very general question, but if someone has similar problem...
Thank you for any response
Update: The memory leak is on other devices too (but S4 eats more memory, probably because more resources are needed for its resolution)
We are using ABS with main FragmentActivity and 6 Fragments. Application is skinnable (skin are set for each fragment in onCreateView() method). Every launch of the application or listing through fragments eats more and more memory until the device starts freezing and it's totally useless.
In the  app we don't use static contexts, applicationContexts or static resources.

No More Chalabi
| 12:54 PM
NO MORE CHALABI….Better late than never, I suppose:
The United States government has decided to halt monthly $335,000 payments to the Iraqi National Congress, the group headed by Ahmad Chalabi, an official with the group said on Monday.
….Mr. Chalabi's group has received at least $27 million in United States financing in the past four years, the Iraqi National Congress official said. This includes $335,000 a month as part of a classified program through the Defense Intelligence Agency, since the summer of 2002, to help gather intelligence in Iraq.
….The official said he did not know why the government decided not to extend the program again.
Gee, maybe I can help out here. Is it possible the program wasn't extended because Ahmed Chalabi is a scheming opportunist, a fair weather friend, and provided demonstrably false and manufactured "intelligence" to the United States over the past decade? Could that be the reason?
Actually, come to think of it, that's probably not the reason. After all, we're talking about the Bush administration here. Must have been something else….

Louis Pergaud Ngatchou (* 14. August 1950 in Bangangté) ist ein ehemaliger kamerunischer Boxer im Halbschwer- und Schwergewicht.

Leben
Pergaud, der in Yaoundé und teils bei seinem Onkel in der Zentralafrikanischen Republik aufwuchs, wurde kamerunischer Amateurboxmeister und gewann im September 1971 das vorolympische Boxturnier von München, im Finale der Gewichtsklasse bis 71 Kilogramm bezwang er den bundesdeutschen Boxer Gunnar Münchow. Pergaud nahm dann zwar nicht an den Olympischen Spielen im Folgejahr teil, gehörte aber zum Aufgebot für die Olympischen Spiele 1976, die die kamerunische Mannschaft nach wenigen Tagen jedoch aus Protest gegen die Teilnahme Neuseelands verließ.

Pergaud, der ab 1972 in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland lebte, in der Bundesliga boxte und gleichzeitig in Wuppertal Elektrotechnik studierte, wechselte ins Profilager und gab Ende Januar 1977 in Bremen sein Debüt, als er Klaus-Peter Tombers durch K.o. in der dritten Runde bezwang. Anschließend bemerkte das Hamburger Abendblatt, dass Pergaud ein Name sei, den man sich merken müsse und dass Bremen vielleicht "den Hauptkämpfer von morgen" erlebt habe. Der Kameruner wurde von Ulrich Resties trainiert und arbeitete mit Manager Wilfrid Schulz zusammen. Nach Pergauds Sieg über Tom Bethea Ende September 1977 in Hamburg titelte das Hamburger Abendblatt: "Das deutsche Profiboxen hat einen neuen Star". Da er bereits seit fünf Jahren in Deutschland lebe, könne man Pergaud getrost eingemeinden, schrieb das Blatt. Als der Kameruner in Kiel den Weltranglistensechsten Lonnie Bennett durch technischen K.o. in der sechsten Runde bezwang, bescheinigte das Hamburger Abendblatt ihm Weltklasse. Sein Manager Schulz urteilte anschließend, Pergaud brauche "Klassegegner, er wird sonst leicht überheblich".

Ende Dezember 1978 kämpfte Pergaud in Bamako gegen Ba Sounkalo um den Titel des Afrikameisters im Halbschwergewicht. In seinem ersten Profikampf außerhalb Deutschlands unterlag der Kameruner und musste damit seine erste Niederlage einstecken. Den Malier Sounkalo hatte er im Frühjahr 1978 in Essen noch nach Punkten besiegt. Im Mai 1980 unterlag Pergeaud dem US-Amerikaner Matthew Saad Muhammad im kanadischen Halifax im Kampf um den Weltmeistertitel im Halbschwergewicht nach Version des WBC. Im September 1981 erhielt der Kameruner zum zweiten Mal die Möglichkeit, um die Afrikameisterschaft im Halbschwergewicht zu boxen, verlor aber abermals, er musste sich in Lusaka dem Sambier Lottie Mwale geschlagen geben. Pergaud beendete seine Profikarriere im April 1987 mit einem Kampf in Düsseldorf. Der Kameruner arbeitete als Ingenieur für Elektrotechnik und war für den Siemens-Konzern in mehreren Ländern, darunter China, Kanada, Südafrika sowie den Vereinigten Staaten, tätig.

Growing up I always believed I would be a writer. I would tell wonderful stories, show the world what could be through words. I ended up doing it through photographs. Different medium, much more story.
To me, you are the story, and there is nothing more powerful than capturing a moment of joy. I adore shooting weddings-- I sometimes feel that your wedding day is more important to me than it is to you. Obviously that's not the case, but I really care that much. Every detail, every moment.
If you need a photographer in the NY or LA area, YOU MUST HIRE KELSEY!! She was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very start and she took the time to understand "my vision".
On the day of our wedding Kelsey was early, professional, and kept everyone organized (no easy feat with a wedding party of 16!). During photographs, she had us laughing and kept everything light and natural, while managing to run perfectly on time.
While I'd work with Kelsey again for her professionalism alone, it is her knack for capturing STUNNING photos that puts her in a category all to herself—she is truly a top tier photographer! I am completely in awe of her talent and hiring Kelsey to capture our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made.
Kelsey, we can't thank you enough and we can't wait to see what magic you send us :) I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND KelseyCombePhotography for your event!
Hiring Kelsey was the BEST decision!
Kelsey Combe is truly amazing! From the moment we hired her, she was professional and fun to work with. She has an unbelievable talent for what she does, and after our engagement photos came back, we knew we had 100% made the right choice hiring her as our wedding photographer. She was responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process and was happy to answer any questions (and like most brides, I had a lot). She happily accommodated every request and was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. She and her husband, Clay, were on time and had the whole day planned out perfectly. I did not have a wedding planner, and there were moments throughout the day that I forgot that because Kelsey had it all covered. Taking pictures can be a long process, but it felt like the time flew by because Kelsey made it easy. Not only was she wonderful to work with, but her photos were unbelievable. The hardest part was only being able to chose about 200 of our 1200 to use for our wedding album because we truly loved them all.
She perfectly captured our day - it was like the photos came to life to tell our wedding day story. All of our friends and family were in awe. We could not have been happier with everything! It would be a mistake not to have her as your wedding photographer.
Kelsey, you are the best and we are forever grateful to have such beautiful memories from our big day!
Kelsey Combe is a great pleasure to work with. Her photos truly captured the uniqueness, fun and spirit of the couple and every exquisite detail of their wedding and are some of the best ever taken at Jedediah Hawkins Inn. Her responsiveness to every request and her appreciation of every kindness are remarkable. I recommend her highly!


Last night, the CLASS Scholars gathered in the Janet Ayers Academic Center to hear from Dr. Marcia McDonald, grad student Alyssa Wynans, and Santiago Sosa, who directed the Nashville Shakespeare Festival's Winter Shakespeare production of Romeo and Juliet the scholars attended last week.
Dr. Marcia McDonald answers questions.
Dr. McDonald also discussed our perception of the play vs. how it was marketed at the time. The examination of a title page of an early paperback version of the play advertised it as "An Excellent, conceited Tragedie of Romeo and Iuliet." We don't think of tragedies as being funny, but the word "Conceited" indicated to contemporary audiences that there were humorous elements in the play, as well as excellent wordplay.
Santiago Sosa, director of Romeo and Juliet.
Santiago Sosa spoke next, discussing how he came to Shakespeare as a Hispanic actor when all other kinds of roles in contemporary American plays seemed closed off to him. After getting his start in A Midsummer Night's Dream at Texas State University, he attended workshops and acted with a traveling company before completing an M.F.A. at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. He has worked with Shakespeare Festivals in Illinois and Pennsylvania, among other places, before landing here in Nashville, where he had performed in several plays before being asked to direct Romeo and Juliet.
Santiago Sosa creates a sketch of Brutus based on the X-Men.
Speaking of our media environments, Belmont M.A. student Alyssa Wynans discussed her current project investigating social media performances of Shakespeare plays across a number of cultures and platforms. Shakespeare's works, it seems, are endlessly adaptable, ensuring the enduring reputation of the man and his plays.
Sosa coaches "Juliet" and "Romeo" on their performances.


Got back into woodworking this year and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I did a lot when I was younger. My job at the time became a real hindrance besides some family issues do I gave it up.
My wife and I have decided we're going to put in some new cabinets. She had seen some work I did for others years ago and was fine with me taking on the task. We both felt custom cabinets done right would look better and fit what we wanted. The problem was, and still is to some degree, my tools were either getting too old or I needed new things to accomplish this coming chore. Thank goodness for a wife who understands the need.
I began in the spring adding tools. I bought several routers, a Kreg router table, a few quality jigs and build a few of my own. Since my father passed last fall I was given his old craftsman table saw and it has been a godsend. Not sure that it will hold out to the end but like I said, I have an understanding wife.
I've been mostly tweaking my skills and scrubbing off the rust of years gone by during the summer and learning and trying new methods. This project was one for my mother-in-law who is an avid reader. My wife suggested I make her this cabinet for her 82nd birthday. I was glad to give it a go.
It's made from soft pine, which is not my favorite at all but felt it turned out ok. I put it together with pocket holes (a tool that was not around years ago when I built cabinets). I love this jig.
The cabinet is 46 in wide by 38 in tall and 7 in deep. I used minwax Cherry stain then added a gel stain above it trying to darken the pine and find a favorable cherry that matched her cabinets. Last I applied 3 coats of wipe on poly fast dry. Surface is not perfect but I learned some interesting things not to do in finishing.
This is my first post but I have been on LJ almost daily for months. Hopefully I will get to post some Christmas gift ideas when completed.
A nice looking book shelf ther Mike, I like the detIls, the swept look on the crown, the four leafed embellishment in the bottom center. Woodworking is always a learning experience, and you always learn new "to do's" and "what not to do's" on everynproject. I look forward to seeing your next creation.
Mike , not bad at all for your first time back at woodworking. I am also one of those who took a long leave from woodworking and am trying to get back into it again. I am starting to build out my tool list and am looking for a place to be able to have a shop so most of my work now is just DIY fix ups around the Apt and my daughters house when I vist her.
Yeah woodworking again has been great for me, Richard. I think what you learn stays with you kinda like riding a bike. But it does help to get yourself in shape again. There's something about the solitude found in the shop that brings a peace of mind for me. Wondering now why I hadn't returned to woodworking a long time ago.
OttoH, the embellishment was purchased. Wish it was me. Had very little time to put this together but decided this would dress it some. Women like this kind of embellishment too. It's all about scoring points right? The curved upper and lower face is mine. After drawing out the pattern, I cut it on the bandsaw, followed by a router. The lower face is slightly varied from the top.

Q: Using Velocity with Tiles and Spring I'm presently using Spring 3.0.4 and Apache Tiles 2.2.2 in my web app. I'd like to replace JSP with Apache Velocity 1.6.3 but I'm somewhat confused on how to do this. Ultimately, I'd like to be able to do the following in a Tiles definition:
<definition name="basicLayout" template="/WEB-INF/layout/basicLayout.vm">
    <put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/layout/header.vm" />
    <put-attribute name="content-area" value="/WEB-INF/layout/content.vm" />
    <put-attribute name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/layout/footer.vm" />
</definition>

Is this possible? If so, do I need to create any custom view classes to support it? I'm currently using the standard Spring VelocityConfigurer, TilesConfigurer, VelocityView, TilesView classes.
Thanks!

A: I've created helper classes which include tiles integration with velocity:
https://github.com/pete911/openhouse-web
there's a descritption when you scroll down. classes can be found in maven central as well.

A: inside your servlet definition you need the following:
    <bean id="viewResolver"
    class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
    <property name="viewClass">
        <value>
            org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesView
    </value>
    </property>
</bean>
<bean id="tilesConfigurer"
    class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesConfigurer">
    <property name="definitions">
        <list>
            <value>/WEB-INF/tiles.xml</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

as you can see you declare tiles.xml ..this is the file that will hold the definiotion name etc.
if you are using maven you need the following dependencies:
<dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId>
        <artifactId>tiles-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId>
        <artifactId>tiles-core</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId>
        <artifactId>tiles-jsp</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId>
        <artifactId>tiles-servlet</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId>

Meet Darlene Foster: "On the Guest List" Cover Designer!
I was honored to have lunch with Darlene Foster today! Not only is she the cover designer for my book, "On the Guest List: Adventures of a Music Journalist" she's also a very good friend!
Last fall when I was nearing the finishing stages of my book (which is now available from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/162903908X) I gave Darlene a photo of me taken in the mid-1990s by my friend Ed O'Brien at a club called Cake in NYC. I felt the photo truly represented what the book was about, being on the guest list in the punk rock circles. And Darlene truly nailed it — where I was coming from and where I wanted to go with the cover — which received tons of compliments!
Darlene Foster also designed the back cover which includes endorsements for the book and a recent photo of me, taken by my husband last June.
It was absolutely delicious! I had the homemade veggie burger, sweet potato fries and a red velvet cupcake for dessert!
I'm honored to be a guest on blog radio show, "Bright Side with Tekneshia" tomorrow, March 24 at noon, EST.
It was a gorgeous spring night last night, so my husband and I took a ride.
On the way home we saw a dying bird in the road — a pheasant.
By the time we made a U-turn and got out of the car, the bird was dead already.
My husband had a pair of gloves and picked her up and put her on the grass area so cars wouldn't run her over.
We said a little prayer for her soul.
Came home and gave our kitty a lot of love.
It's always so sad when a helpless animal dies.
Yay, spring! Bring out the short sleeves!
It was in the 60s today in New Jersey! Spring is my second favorite season, after Autumn and we really deserve some good weather. I normally don't mind winter, but this year it was way too long and too cold.
I went to lunch with my great friends Nick and Vinnie. We favor "It's Greek to Me" where the service is excellent (they let you hang long after you've finished your dishes) and the food is very fresh!
Afterwards I went shopping for some sunglasses. I found three pair I loved!
I was so sad to learn that my favorite uncle and his wife were moving away to Arizona very shortly, so I took the opportunity to visit them today. Luckily they said they were going to come back and visit often. And I was glad I told both of them that I loved them.
One thing I've learned in life — and I'm a work in progress as to making a change in this — is that you never see the people you love enough. Over the past several years I've really made an effort to reach out to family members I love most and friends I love most.
Every Saturday I set aside as "friend day" where I have lunch with my favorite people. I've been following loved ones on Face Book to be able to visit as many people as I can when they are having special events and also going to every funeral I can to be supportive.
By doing this, my life is filled with so much love and positivity.


Watchlist 2007, the Audobon Society's recent report on the welfare of birds in America, reports that nearly a quarter of the 700 bird species in America are threatened, usually by direct human activity, like development and gas and oil production.
According to Callum Roberts in his book The Unnatural History of the Sea, current stocks of cod in the North Atlantic are less than 1/3 of one percent of the population of these fish before Europeans came to the New World. Scientists report that the oceans of the world are vast deserts, with staggering loss of species and populations of marine life due to overfishing.
In California, over 15% of energy consumption is used for water management alone -– pumping, storing and transporting increasingly scarce water to cities and farms.
Deforestation is a pressing global issue. More than half of all mature tropical forests have been felled, and the pace is increasing year by year as population growth leads to clearing more land for agriculture.
Between 1990 and 2005 Nigeria lost some 79% of its old-growth forests. Haiti retains only 1% of its forestland, leading some to refer to it as "a Caribbean desert." Unless significant measures are taken, by 2030 only ten percent of tropical forests will remain, with another ten percent in a degraded condition.
Over half of the Earth's land surface has been transformed due to human activity, resulting in significant habitat loss, environmental degradation (erosion, siltation, pollution, drought, floods, climate change) and extinctions of thousands of species. Almost no terrestrial ecoregion (there are 867) has been spared from the onslaught of human consumption.
Conservation of our planetary heritage – the land, the water, and the living things which occupy this biosphere – is of pressing urgency. The books recommended in this section on Conservation address the theory and practice of conservation and ecosystem preservation and restoration.
They are calls to action and reports of encouraging successes. Many contain vital proposals for immediate action that can make a difference. Paul Hawken's Blessed Unrest calls our attention to the fact that the current worldwide environmentalist movement is "the largest movement in the world!" It's not a moment too soon.

Brutus Armchair
The Brutus chair has its roots in the powerful Modernist vernacular of modern masters like Perriand, Jeanneret and Le Corbusier, but is softer and visually lighter.
Item No. BF-BRUTUSA
The new BassamFellows Brutus chair, launching in Milan in 2020, has its roots in the powerful Modernist vernacular of Perriand and Jeanneret, but is softer and visually lighter. It emphasizes certain sculptural elements, elevating visual aspects evident in much Brutalist design, but updated with organic smoothness. It is more "cut" than it is "built", and its shape looks like it has been weathered naturally and then manipulated – the silhouette of the back suggests a giant shell that has been machined to create a striking squared-off hole in the centre.
The back and seat look like a single sculptural element, the horizontal and vertical planes meeting with pleasing curves. The Vienna caning of the seat in some examples of the chair (others are upholstered with suspension webbing) draws a line back to 1950s Chandigarh, and contributes to the visual and physical lightness of the object. Like Jeanneret's work in India, the Brutus chair is something strong and solid, but in this case, perspective is everything – the legs are elliptical, tapering down from the seat to the floor, and shaped like a rounded shark's fin, so they look broad from one angle, and remarkably thin from another. As with the BassamFellows Tractor Stool, the legs are inserted directly into the seat with a large tenon.
Chair shown in Oak with a Vienna Cane seat. The Brutus Armchair can be customised in a range of finishes and upholstery options, please enquire for more information.

Harriet Aguirre Garcia, a former senior leader of the Basque separatist group Eta, was arrested on Friday, Spain's interior ministry said, but Spanish press on Saturday reported he had been falsely detained and would soon be freed.
Garcia, 35, was arrested in France in 2005 on an international warrant and jailed in Spain, where he was wanted for the March 2001 murder of a deputy mayor, the ministry said.
He was believed at that time to be the number two in Eta's military wing.
On Saturday, Spanish press reported Garcia had been transferred to a Spanish prison in June 2013, and then released on May 27th. However, he was arrested on Friday because an Interpol arrest warrant remained active, media outlets said.
Eta, which announced an end to violence in 2011, is blamed for the deaths of 829 people in a four-decade campaign of shootings and bombings for an independent Basque homeland in northern Spain and southwestern France.
It is classed as a terrorist group by both the United States and European Union.
Earlier this year, the group said it would put its arsenal of weapons "out of operational use", in a historic first step towards disarmament.
