Title: Crystallization questions for large systems with Coulomb and Riesz interactions
This is based on joint works with Etienne Sandier, Nicolas Rougerie, Simona Rota Nodari, Mircea Petrache, and Thomas Leblé.
Systems of particles with Coulomb, Riesz and logarithmic interactions arise in various settings : one instance is the classical Coulomb gas which in some cases happens to be a random matrix ensemble, another is vortices in the Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity, where one observes in certain regimes the emergence of densely packed point vortices forming perfect triangular lattice patterns, named Abrikosov lattices in physics, a third is the study of Fekete points which arise in approximation theory. We will describe tools to study such systems and derive a next order (beyond mean field limit) "renormalized energy" that governs microscopic patterns of points and discuss its link with the Abrikosov lattice and crystallization questions. We will also address the statistical mechanics of such systems and how the temperature influences the disorder of the system.

DEFINITION of 'T+1 (T+2,T+3)'
Abbreviations that refer to the settlement date of security transactions. The T stands for transaction date, which is the day the transaction takes place. The numbers 1, 2 or 3 denote how many days after the transaction date the settlement or the transfer of money and security ownership takes place.
For determining the settlement date the only days that are counted are those on which the stock market is open. T+1 means that if a transaction occurs on a Monday, settlement must occur by Tuesday. Likewise, T+3 means that a transaction occurring on a Monday must be settled by Thursday, assuming no holidays occur between these days. But if you sell a security with a T+3 settlement date on a Friday, ownership and money transfer does not have to take place until the following Wednesday.
Do not, however, think of the period between transaction and settlement as a flex time in which you can back out of the deal. The deal is done on the transaction day--it's just the transfer that does not take place until later.

Deputies Watching Boaters During Holiday Weekend
(IDAHO FALLS, ID) – The Bonneville County Sheriff's Office is encouraging boaters to observe all laws during the holiday weekend. Authorities tell KIDK that nearly half of all Americans can't swim, resulting in an average of at least one drowning death for every county in the country. They believe many accidents on the water can likely be avoided by simply wearing life jackets. Deputies plan to put boat patrols along the Snake River to ensure the safety of those enjoying the warmer weather.

Photos of Ashlee Simpson Carrying Bronx Wentz in LA
Ashlee and Bronx Have a Big Weekend Ahead
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
Ashlee Simpson took Bronx along with her to a makeup studio in LA on Thursday — get her hippie-chic look here — before taking a solo shopping trip yesterday. The little guy has had a big week, including a trip to the zoo with mom and dad. The fun's just begun, and tomorrow he'll help Pete celebrate his very first Father's Day. Ashlee and Bronx made Pete's 30th birthday memorable, so they're probably cooking up some equally good plans for another special day.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Picked this up at a yard sale today. The seller thought it was some type of boat anchor. My guess was a door stop or overly complicated hammer. Either way I bought it because it seems to be an antiquated piece of machinery... Wondered if JD or Cane couold shed some light on it for me since they seem to collect these oddities?
Seriously though. I sold this about two years ago and the buyer was planning on selling it off, so it came full circle back to me. This is my absolute favorite handgun despite my trash talk. My question is, did S/A use a common rear sight dove tail angle (Novak, Bo Mar, etc.)? The front sight is peened/ tenon due to the exhaust port locations so I can handle that. Just looking at low profile no snag rear sight options and there isn't a decent gunsmith near me to measure it. If anyone has any ideas what the angle might be I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

OOOOOOOH,..........you totaly suckered me with that bogus story!!!
Got me as well. I was gonna ask which garage sales he goes to, and beg him to take me to one...
From C3Shooter:
Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
Jeep's Back!! Where you been brother??
Didn't believe that song and dance for a minute, but I know Jeep and knew something was up when he said garage sale and had pictures of that beauty.
Yes, I believe that S/A does use the standard dove tail, I am not sure of the exact angle, but I do not believe you need a special order. Cane or stalkingbear might know the exact model you need....

No fan base embraces the Madness like Cat fans
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- A car pulled out of a metered parking space on Lexington Avenue, on the campus of the University of Kentucky, and Mike Allen sprang into action.The Fairdale, Ky., resident jumped out from under the tent where he was holding a three-day basketball vigil. As he urgently ran off, tent mate Ray Thompson of Marion County, Ky., hustled over to place a chair in the vacant parking spot to hold it until Allen returned.
People say we're crazy. But if you're a true-blue Kentucky fan, this is it.
--Mike Allen
The impressive (or scary) thing: No more than 50 percent of the tent denizens are students. This isn't Krzyzewskiville, a collection of collegians killing time before a big Duke game. These are people of all ages from all across the state, lined up for days to see a practice.
Fans were allowed to start pitching tents only three days before tickets were distributed -- back in the 1990s, a guy named Wally Clark used to park his mobile home out front more than a month in advance to ensure he was first in line. The school reined that in, and now the tent people must wait for permission from the UK administration at the crack of dawn on that Wednesday to set up camp.By the time the free tickets were distributed Saturday at first light, those in line numbered in the thousands. On the morning of Sept. 27, it took 40 minutes for Kentucky to dish out 23,000 tickets to those in line and those securing them online. For practice. And Friday night will be the payoff for the vigil, when the 2008-09 Wildcats take the floor for the first time. For a border-to-border constituency that rarely has access to game tickets, and many who could not afford them anyway, this is the celebration for the common fan.
Kentucky was so anxious for this day to arrive that it actually moved up Madness by a week, from the nationwide opening Oct. 17 to Oct. 10. Coach Billy Gillispie utilized a loophole in the rules, which says a team can practice together for two hours once a week prior to the official start of the season, and made those two hours into Big Blue Madness.The reason is recruiting-related: the Wildcats can get some blue-chippers in town without competition from anyone else's Madness. Of course, the primary target of this gambit was John Wall, the No. 1 point guard in the country, and he's not showing. (Wall's melodramatic recruitment looks like it could come down to the last two teams who played basketball in the 2007-08 season, Memphis and Kansas.) Few fans follow recruiting more rabidly than Kentucky's -- but even they will be less consumed with who is in the stands than who is on the court Friday night. "This is my chance to see what we got," Thompson said. "Elite Eight, Final Four, national championship."
It's been four seasons since Kentucky's last Elite Eight, and 11 since the last Final Four or national championship. There is little reason, on paper, to expect such accomplishments from this team -- the Cats were 18-13 in their first season under Gillispie, their worst record since the NCAA probation days of 1989-90. And they lost two guys who averaged 16 or more points per game, guards Joe Crawford and Ramel Bradley.
"There's a lot more excitement for this team, as far as athletic ability," said Mark Robertson of Yosemite, Ky. "Gillispie has definitely infused the fans with excitement about the team."Said Thompson: "I think coach Gillispie is going to put us back up there in contention. He's gonna be hanging banners." That belief seems universal all the way around Camp Keightley. Right out front is Rick Brizendine, who runs a UK fan Web site and is celebrating his seventh straight year as the first guy in line for tickets. Brizendine and his two sons -- Kyle, named for Kyle Macy, and Derrick, named for Derrick Hord -- arrived the night before they were allowed to pitch a tent. They stayed on the other side of the street until UK compliance director Sandy Bell came out and formally decreed the stampede underway. The 45-year-old Brizendine, UK ankle tattoo on proud display, is from Owensboro, a good three hours to the west. Yet this is his 23rd straight year of lining up for tickets. His boys have now been in tow for 16 of those years. They're as excited now as ever. "I went all the way to an AAU tournament in Orlando last year to be one of the first to meet [Gillispie]," Brizendine said. "I think he's the answer." The Answer circulated through part of Camp Keightley during the vigil, meeting and greeting his endearingly insane fan base. They sure didn't have anything like this at his last stop, Texas A&M. Or anywhere else on planet Earth. If you're not from here, it can be difficult to comprehend. That's why a mystified UK media relations staffer who is not from the state said to Ray Thompson: "I've got just one question: It's practice." Thompson's response: "It's Kentucky basketball."

Top Read Story on BBC 1-21-12
HI All,
I am really surprised to see that the top read story online today on the international news site, BBC is about open marriages. They do a pretty balanced job of distinguishing polyamory vs swinging. Is it time for poly to move into the main stream?
Here is a similar article and discussion over at the New York Times:
The Gingrich Question: Cheating vs. Open Marriage
I read these after my husband told me. Very interesting. I was talking with a friend about it yesterday and he said, well that's a very self centered way to live. I never thought about it that way but he said...yeah you get your cake and you get to eat it. I guess the glass is either half full or half empty. :)
Very interesting that these came out in the news.
Anyway, back to what you were saying about your friend's comment :-). Basically, that's only true from a limited perspective; that is, one can certainly imagine that many men would like to be able to be with more then one woman at the same time, but for anyone who's seen a certain amount of "Big Love", trying to keep more than one woman happy at the same time can frequently be quite the challenge. And this is only taking into account things like an FMF relationship. As people familiar with poly know, that's certainly not the only way it can happen.
Personally, I wouldn't feel right about wanting to share myself if I couldn't share my own (theoretical) partner, but I know that different people have different tastes. On the note of different types of non monogamous relationships, has anyone seen this?:
I thought it was awesome when I first saw it :-)
I find that chart mildly offensive. Then again, I find many of Franklins' points lacking.
According to this chart anyone 'like me' is wandering around in some abyss, that does not exist. It also has a vibe of 'If it ain`t poly, it`s crap !'
I get what you mean, I thought the same when i first saw it. Someone like me or Sward an Lin is completely missing on it. The mono/poly is doomed problem as it seems. But well, it covers a certain range and I found it amusing as well. But far from being completed, many aspects of poly relationships are missing or portrait in a not so favorable light.
Poly Map
Which really isn`t his fault. He`s just another bloke, with an opinion. He went to the extensive trouble, of creating an in-depth site and opinion,....which I think, is what people find satisfaction in.
Like most things, not all people and all situations can be accounted for. My response is based on the fact that my experiences has led me to realize, most people feel 'pushed' to chose either being poly, or being a swinger. The reality usually is, that most people either land 'in the middle' or find things to be situation specific to the people involved.
I`ve read all the arguments for years, over how we are either like some horny monkey, or some loin-cloth breeder-tribe. :rolleyes: I agree with neither. Environment tends to dictate our reactions. If you cage/corral any animal, ( forced monogamy being our default cage ) and one day show them the door/gate is open,..most are going to run through it, and a few might hold back in fear.
Eventually, those that held back, sniff around and make decisions, and those who ran through the gate, ...well many of them realize the pasture wasn`t any greener, it just offered different scenery. Some realize they are monogamous. Some realize they want to hang out around the gate,;) Others feel full-blown poly pride. It`s actualy quite divided.
So, seeing that happen with people on a regular basis, I ask myself, how is the chart not flawed ? If he has 'open' labelled for people who fuck, but dont have feelings,.. Then where is the umbrella portion, of non-monogamy ? Shouldn`t the whole thing be enveloped in a large circle that says non-monogamy, at the least ? Then you could at least fit your situation in there:
" All you complicated folks go here-----> X"
I`d say it doesn`t because much like his other supposed tongue-n-cheek stuff,...the humour is boiled in his own truths.
Not a bad thing,..people just need to remind themselves of that.
This was not a rant at you Phy, just me babbling about something I have long wondered. :D
Sourgirl, I've responded to your posts in the Poly Map thread.

"Awesome employer. "

Great communication between general manager and staff.
The management truly appreciates and offets promotions to those employees, who take the initiative to make the restaurant "the best".
I enjoy the way the owners of our franchise, actually listen to the employee's ideas and take time to consider better options.
No full time benifits...... All non - salaried employees are Part Time.
Some employees are just there for a "JOB" they don't consider it a team. They would rather cherry pick the delivery orders, that have good gratuities, than work by the Driver Code of Conduct.
Black uniform shirts. This makes summer temperatures almost unbearable. Fast on your feet in the middle of summer will make even the coolest person freaky sweaty and freaky sweaty.....

Atlas Moth (Attacus atlas)
London Zoo, England.
Canon EOS 400D
Canon EF 50mm f2.5 Compact Macro
f/3.5, 1/200s, ISO 200
The Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) is a large saturniid moth found in the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia, and common across the Malay archipelago. In India, Atlas moths are cultivated for their silk in a non-commercial capacity; unlike that produced by the related Silkworm moth (Bombyx mori), Atlas moth silk is secreted as broken strands. This brown, wool-like silk is thought to have greater durability and is known as fagara. Atlas moth cocoons have been employed as purses in Taiwan.
Atlas moths are considered the largest moths in the world in terms of total wing surface area [upwards of c. 400 cm2 (62 sq in)]. Their wingspans are also amongst the largest, from 25–30 cm (10–12 in). Females are appreciably larger and heavier.
The largest lepidopteran in terms of wingspan is thought to be the White Witch, Thysania agrippina. A record specimen of Attacus atlas from Java measured 262 mm, while Thysania are claimed to be about 270–280 mm (11 in). Based on some spread specimens and angle of wing, actual measurements of around 289 mm have been estimated.
Atlas moths are said to be named after either the Titan of Greek mythology, or their map-like wing patterns. In Hong Kong the Cantonese name translates as "snake's head moth", referring to apical extension of the forewing, which bears a passing resemblance to a snake's head. (care of Wikipedia)

:0 … the details are extraordinary … amazing wonderful capture ….
Thank you Karen :) I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
– Damienne Bingham
wow the detail is so amazing. i am trying to get into macro though the macro lense for my camera cost $850 so before i went out and bought that i thought i will do it cheaper and i bought A 10X MACRO FILTER though i dont seem to be getting the photos quite as close as u. any suggestions. roxy =)
To be honest, the only way to get really good quality macro photos is to invest in a dedicated macro lens. I'm using a 50mm macro lens at the moment, I think it costs about $500 or so, but it's actually inadequate for what I want to do now, so I need to upgrade to something – but you're right, they just cost so much, it's hard to prioritise that kind of money for it!
Using filters is a good way to start to practice macro, and also there are some really cheap "extension tubes" on the market that you can use with your normal kit lens or whatever, and it increases the focal length so you can get closer to your subjects and create macro work. The drawback is that the tubes create Extremely shallow depth of field and they negate the auto focus, so you have to do it all yourself.
But they are still very fun to play with, I bought an extremely cheap set for about 20 bucks on ebay, but the "good quality" ones are still quite cheap, Kenko is a good brand and they cost about 150 bucks I think. They come in a set of three that screw together to be stacked or can be used individually (screwed onto your own lens). Also there are things like lens babies and bellows' which give macro effects too.
Hope that helps a little and makes sense to you!
Cheers for the lovely comment :)
– Damienne Bingham
thanks heaps that helps heaps. i think i will invest in a proper macro lens.
thanks again roxy xox
My pleasure hun :)

Too cooooool!
Cheers! :) Glad you like it!

Live Action: Today, Live Action released a new undercover video showing a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Austin, TX encouraging a woman to obtain a late-term abortion because she was purportedly carrying a girl and wanted to have a boy. The video is first in a new series titled "Gendercide: Sex-Selection in America," exposing the practice of sex-selective abortion in the United States and how Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry facilitate the selective elimination of baby girls in the womb.

Another patch, and this one even brings some changes to Dominion ! http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/new...atch-417-notes
Viktor and Soraka got reworks. There's too much to talk about, so I'll leave that for some other thread.
Cassiopeia got some small buffs, but the rework still hurt her quite a bit for Dominion. I doubt she'll be good.
Garen got a massive regen bonus at higher levels, and the cooldown after taking damage is drastically reduced. Furthermore, after level 11 minions won't stop his regen. This is by no means a great buff, but it'll help him with splitpushing, defending towers, and bot lane (although how viable bot lane Garen will be I don't know). Enough to move him up to tier 3? Eh, I'm not sure, he still has some major issues.
Karma got a small usability buff that will help her quite a bit, mostly by making her easier to play. Now, if you get stunned and press R+W, it won't ignore the R press because you were stunned, so you'll be less likely to mess up R uses because of cc. Small quality of life buff. Heimerdinger got the same buff, although it's less significant since his R is on a much longer CD.
LeBlanc, oh my. I think Riot made a mistake here. Now LeBlanc's clone might actually bait people into attacking it, and that one second invisibility can really help her. Another second on Distortion is pretty huge, and it means that she'll be really, really, really hard to catch without some strong mobility. She could run one direction for 3.7 seconds or so, then press it again and run the other direction, or, if they're waiting, she could just keep running. This makes her much safer overall and more annoying to deal with, and I'll move her back up to tier 2, most likely.
Maokai, this means that Maokai benefits less from storing damage with his ultimate. Full tank Maokai got hit pretty hard, but AP Maokai liked to detonate fairly early anyway since he's not always bulky enough to stack it fully. It's a noticable nerf, 100 less max damage, but I don't think it'll be enough to make him weak. Is he still OP? I'm not sure.
Nautilus, huh. His Q now connects with terrain made by champions. This is both a buff and a nerf. I'm thinking that it's more of a nerf than a buff, actually. If a friendly J4 ulties and Nautilus is inside, he can't escape, and if he's outside, he can't Q the enemy inside. If Anivia puts up a wall, he can't Q to get through the wall. On the other hand, he can now use terrain by allies (and enemies) to get to places. A friendly Anivia or Trundle could use it as a Thresh lantern of sorts.
Nidalee, seems like they're buffing AP Nidalee and nerfing AD Nidalee. If any experienced Nidalee player feels like giving some more detailed comments into this, that'd be great.
Rammus, small buff for the armordillo. Using Q won't immediately cancel W, and using W won't immediately cancel Q.
Sona Q range buff. Cool.
Talon E silence removed, instead it slows 99% for 0.25 seconds. This is, of course, a massive nerf for Talon, and he'll drop to tier 2 or tier 3 almost certainly. I do find it odd that Riot kept the map specific nerfs, does he really need them after a nerf like this?
Tristana got her ultimate CD increased from 60 sec at all ranks to 100/85/70. This is a significant nerf to an already weak champion. SR balancing hitting Dominion. Oh well, at least it kills AP Tristana.
Dominion Respawn Timers now only work when the difference is at least 50 points. No more delaying your initial mid-cap to cheese in slightly faster respawns. This is good news and makes Dominion a bit more balanced.
And some other minor changes and bug fixes.
Talon nerfs can stay. His ult CD is short enough as-is, and its not like Q was what defined his kit to begin with.
I'd like to see where he is post-nerf and whether he can still do Talon things before jumping on the "remove map-specifics" train.
They are buffing AP Nid, and AP Nid does NOT need buffs.
Thank God for respawn timer changes. About f*cking time.
Agreed on Leblanc. That champion can go **** herself.
Fancy Wolf
Dont at all agree that AP Nid is trash right now. At all.

JA-MAL the Scholar of Hip Hop
JA-MAL THE SCHOLAR; the name given to the Detroit rapper by his musical colleagues, takes his title seriously. A long time friend gave the native Detroiter this name because of his lyrical versatility, content, and vocabulary. Inspired by and associated with the word usage of his musical idol Tupac Shakur, JA-MAL THE SCHOLAR took this compliment to heart and forever strives to embody the true meaning of a revolutionary emcee. Tupac touched the heart of the listener with raw emotion. Wrong or right, he spoke from the heart and not always just to entertain. This is the core of JA-MAL's music. Purpose.He began to write and rap at age 9 and in the 3rd grade, was given a poetry assignment for which he received an A+. Like most kids would, he brought it home to show his mother, excited about the grade and not the words written. His mother read it and made such a big deal about the word play he considered it a premonition. His love for music grew as he progressed through puberty, honing his skills by rapping along with the albums his older brother brought home every pay day. He did this religiously in an effort to perfect his delivery. Back then, he didn't understand the importance of hip hop and how it one day would consume his life. He would often quit rapping and vow never to return to another studio. Still, he would find himself back in front of the microphone time after time.Realizing he has no other choice than music because of a higher calling to an infinite audience, he's taken his passion for hip hop to another level musically, lyrically, and mentally. Feeling like he is in too deep to quit, he is finally ready to appeal to an audience that craves true lyrical content over bass driven hip hop beats. He's often told by people who don't like or listen to rap music that they love his sound. One reason being the noticeable lack of profanity. Another is the music behind his words from mostly Rue Wade; with other selections from Profit and DJ Swift. Also, having mothers tell him his music is something they allow their children to listen to proves he'll one day cater to a much larger audience than most. When one possesses a large vocabulary, curse words become only a guilty pleasure for the lyricist and have a much greater effect.His music is based on his life; things he loves, hates, has done, seen, wants to do, will do, wishes he could do, and his perceptions of God. His other musical influences include The Wu-Tang Clan, Ras Kass, NAS, and the entire Motown catalog along with the rest of the black music from that generation. Besides calling his music soulful hip hop, he generally prefers to let people describe it to him after they hear it. He feels his physical disadvantage is no detriment to his stage presence because he, in his own words, "sounds exactly like he does on wax".Currently signed to Carpe Diem Music Group, headed by Emmanuel Scheafe and John Hollywood in association with Famous Records Corporation, he released an album commercially in February 2010 entitled "SOCIAL STUDIES". Distributed by Universal, SOCIAL STUDIES is now available on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, and just about anywhere else music can be downloaded. He is also a member of the Rhyme Cartel and has many performances throughout the metro Detroit area on his resume, dating from 2005 to 2007.The legendary music executive Al Bell sums it all up with this: "If we can't make him a star we shouldn't be in the business!" His music has been picked up by several internet stations and he has been a featured artist on Detroit Riot Radio. Thanks to his phenomenal publicist Rein Child, he is also beginning to establish a presence on major FM radio.His current single, "I Feel Good All Over" and "Moscato" featuring Charles "Gator" Moore can be heard daily on: http://www.detroitriotradioonline.com .Single: 'Moscato' http://www.zshare.net/audio/8599799486837057/ .

Pyotr Fyodorovich Sokolov
Pyotr Fyodorovich Sokolov (Russian: Пётр Фёдорович Сóколов) (1791-15 August [O.S. 3 August] 1848) was a Russian aquarelle portraitist who painted many of the most distinguished figures of the Pushkin era.[1]
Sokolov was a pioneer to employ a special watercolour technique where emulsion was not utilized,[2] and in addition to that, he was the person who has started the genre of the aquarelle portraiture in Russian art.[3] From 1820 and onwards, he has completely involved himself into perfecting his art form in which he succeeded.[2] This technique in the years between 1820 and 1840 managed to replace the portrait miniatures that were popular in Russia prior to that. Even though Sokolov specialized in aquarelle painting oftentimes he would use a graphite pencil in order to manage his initial draft, as well as an aid for special effects to enhance his artworks.[4]
Early life[edit]
Sokolov was born in Moscow,[5] and between the years of 1800 to 1809 he attended Imperial Academy of Arts where he received his education in art. His supervisors were Alexei Egorovich Egorov as well as Vasily Shebuyev [6] who both were very famous and respected artists. In 1809, Sokolov painted "Andromache mourning killed Hector" ("Андромаха оплакивает убитого Гектора") for his institution's competition for which he received a minor gold medal as well as a title of a class artist.[7] Because of the school program structure, the students who won the gold medal from the school had the opportunity to go overseas to enhance their art education.[8] Sokolov desired to continue his education in Italy; however, in order to fulfill that he required to win a major gold medal. The artist stayed behind for one year and participated again in the contest that year, but he did not manage to achieve this goal.[4]
Work During Lifetime[edit]
During his lifetime, Sokolov has captured numerous people in his portraits, starting with fellow artists ending with veterans of Patriotic War of 1812.[6] Amongst those people individuals such as Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin as well as Vasily Andreyevich Zhukovsky who were extremely famous Russian poets were included as well.[6] Additionally, Sokolov received many commissions from various high-ranking persons. For example, the artist was invited by the imperial family to Anichkov Palace where he painted a portrait of Nicholas I of Russia's three-year-old royal son, Alexander,[4] and the work was a success with the family. Some of Sokolov's commissioners have repeatedly requested works from him. One was of the people who has been painted trice was Ekaterina Pavlovna Bakunina. She was depicted in the works of the year 1816, 1828, and 1834. In her first portrait which was done in pencil, she is depicted as a youthful lady. In the aquarelle work of 1828, Sokolov managed to convey the features that were socially desirable and attractive at that time in her portrait. As for 1834 portrait, one can easily see how Sokolov depicted Bakunina (now Poltoratskaya) as a married woman.[4] Over the course of his life he has created over 500 artworks,[6] and not only are they found in private collections, since they are extremely valuable, but also in very famous government museums such as State Russian Museum, State Tretyakov Gallery, and many others.[4]

|Reviews for Nightide
| Snowfall Illusions chapter 34 . 1/10/2014
Awesome! I am so glad that you updated this story! I read the whole thing in one go so I could refresh my memory. I really like this story and I am liking how Zera thinks of each member of the band differently. Some are older brothers, some are just guys. Either way, she seems to like some aspect of each of them. I'm really looking forward to reading the next chapters. This is a nice place to stop, but I am an impatient bean and don't do well with loose ends. :)
Great job! Snowfall Illusions
| NaoEarthGoddess chapter 7 . 11/25/2012
Pooh! Please update soon I really like this story!
| TheScript2299 chapter 7 . 11/21/2012
i love your story!
keep writing
| Guest chapter 7 . 10/31/2012
Awww Jeremy seems so sweet _ ... update please!
| Guest chapter 6 . 10/23/2012
i read and like all the chapters :D... update please!
| idon'tknowhowtodance chapter 6 . 10/23/2012
update quick! ... i really like the story and can't wait for the development between the characters
| MagicWords chapter 4 . 10/6/2012
I think you should stick to calling her Zera. It is still her. That way you eliminate any confusion. But great chapter!
| MagicWords chapter 3 . 10/6/2012
Haha this was great! I liked the kid with the stutter. I wonder how long Zera will be able to keep up wit h this act.
| MagicWords chapter 2 . 10/6/2012
An interesting predicament here. I wonder what Zera will do. And I am glad Zariah survived. He has such a cool name!
| MagicWords chapter 1 . 10/3/2012
Hey I wanted to see what this story was all about!
I have a sinking feeling that Zariah didn't make it. It's a shame, really. He seemed sweet. (I haven't read the summary for this so I may look really dumb right now.)
I feel bad for Zera. She and her brother had such a good bond!
Will read more later :)
| DarkAngelGal chapter 1 . 9/27/2012
This is too rushed...and what does the cop look like? Also how old is her and her brother? I think it needs more details!
| Snowfall Illusions chapter 4 . 9/26/2012
Very cool! I want to hear more about this "Contract", what it entails and such.
As far as characters go for the guys I like the drummer, but I am very curious about Cass. He who has an unknown real name. Do keep writing!
| Snowfall Illusions chapter 3 . 9/19/2012
I got a little confused when you started refering to Zera as Zariah but it began to make sense as I continued reading. I like how you gave descriptions of each of the boys, and then had Zera say "Of course, that would be them. Why do they have to be hot guys?" That made me laugh just because it was so obvious. She had to have known from her brother how "big" Nightide was, so for her to not realize who they were immediatly was funny to me. Great job and keep writing! xD
| Snowfall Illusions chapter 2 . 9/14/2012
I like how the siblings look alike and now the sister will take his place. It reminds me a little of the Parent Trap. But this is more dramatic.
Keep writing! I'd like to see how this turns out!
Snowfall Illusions xD

When i got the booking for Caroline and her guest Vincent, i knew i would be on my own travels for the period they required and was reluctant to take the booking as i like to be there, as good host should be. Caroline made the booking and i made my apologies but as it happens she extended her stay and i was able to be back to share an evening at the guest bar, before their departure next day.And so glad i did as i met two lovely well mannered, well educated and well traveled people. I was sorry not to have more time with them but as Caroline is well familiar with the area i dearly hope to see them again. On leaving i found the house had been treated with the greatest respect and was indeed spotless. A credit to you both and worth noting by other hosts.

Engineers that can't tank a lot of damage, Tacs that don't do any damage and Sci that doesn't SNB when the Spread is on the command ships buff bar or throw SS on it whenever hull is exposed. This is what usually results in a lost instance in my experience.
As for probe farming, I've never seen a lower tier ships even trying because alone they can't kill them. Whenever I have seen probe farmers it's always an RA/VA character, as you mention they have little else to do so it makes sense but it's still annoying to everyone else in the instance.
whats happened to me is that a bunch of lower level players when the borg mothership comes they all focus on the probes and they start probe farming and no one or me and another player are left alone to focus on the command ship, it is very frustrating but you are right also player should know how to play there class and not enough players do. Also another huge problem is lack of teamwork if everyone were to target the same side of the captial ship at the same time the ship can be killed alot easier, or when someone communicates something the other players dont follow, I am a VA in the game i didnt get to the highest level and max out my character by not knowing what i am doing, I wish other players would see a VA and think hmm he is the highest level in the game his character is maxed out he has fought the borg he probably knows what he is doing. If people would work together, use there class of ship correctly and use there abilties correctly alot more of these instances would be won. I also have had people drop out of the team just after the captial ship comes leaving the rest of us on the team to rot, one ship really does make a difference in these battles.
