i prefer the top one but the left one is nice too.
My name suggestion would be Valkyrie.
Rogue Republic is an innovative RTS project developed by a team of independent enthusiasts aimed to bring you a realistic yet intense C&C Generals-styled game you always dreamed about. Do not like C&C F2P for some reasons? Track Rogue Republic! The game will be released in episodes, with each episode bringing you a new campaign of the overall story arc ranging from Russian-Georgian conflict, hypothetical Turkish-Ukrainian war in the near future, WW3 and its falloutic aftermath.
i prefer the top one but the left one is nice too.
My name suggestion would be Valkyrie.
Valkyrie is too used, perhaps the name of one individual Valkyrie, or Pegasus. We need the Euros to reflect more of Europe, wich is not just the Nort and Central Parts.
And Adamastor would suit a cruiser or Artillery, getting a Portuguese vibe to Europe aswell (Adamastor was a mith giant who impeded passage in the Cape of Good Hope).
And I agree, the top one looks more Badass, and a better Transport with the missile racks up front, leaving room for a wider side door. So here's voting for top one.
I like the one on the far right and the one on the far left...
My suggestion for the name would be Dodo (after the bird species of course), because a badass VTOL like this deserves a nonthreatening name just so it can mess with the enemies' minds (and get the R&D funding pass the legislate in the first place).
How about "gryphon"?
And why chossing one of them, if you could use all of three variation trough upgrade system or something like technical in Generals, which uses 3 differrent models...
Gryphon or Griffin would be awsome, it has a Might and Magic or Warcrft feel, and totally fits for a Franco-British unit.
i suck at names, but i like the bottom left one the most.
I think you shud include all three as random variants :) like technicals in generals
or the Europanzer, already in the game.
For a Canine name, Id go Greek. Cerberus or Orthus come to mind. The Nemean Lion or the Sphynx for Feline names. Perhaps even Fenris, but let us diverge a bit from Vikings, there are many other names for it in celtic mith too.
Cerberus sounds like a good idea on account of the transport gunship role. And, assuming that the whole 'VTOL' thing doesn't count as one, given the cargo hold* in the back I'm sure a tertiary ability to shove in woulnd't be that hard to think of. ECM and a boot for the troops
I prefer bottom-left. Because top one is screwed with aerodynamics and probably would crash IRL. And in the right one you can take missile exhaust in the face.
What about the name? Valkyrie is a good one, but a bit mainstream.
Second bottom left. The hardpoints on the top one would most likely be a nightmare and the ones on the right would also seriously **** with forward pitch on the fans, making all those heavy mechanisms only useful for deceleration.
I would suggest the top one or as a second choice the bottom left.... as for the name Freyja
I like the left one and the top one :D
Bottom-left one is the only one which looks like its capable of flight IRL, therefore it should not be the one selected :D
As for a name I agree with Heron
F-69 VTOL Aegean, I choose the one one the right, the rest looks to much like a apache
It's not an American helicopter, dude.
Then what's with the American-esque designation? Helicopters around here usually are named after the company that made them, function, or after large felines.
I'd call it EC-995 Caracal, and use the lower left model, if I had the freedom to do that :P
Looks bloody awesome. Good job as usual Rho.
If you need something evolutionary from an existing model, perhaps use a name such as "Super Lynx" or "Thunder Lynx". Thunder since it has an attack role also.
Europe already has a "Lynx" Helicopter IRL, so I don't want to use that.
The top one have most agressive look - i like that one. I can't thought about right name for it right now.
I could suggest either : Anglisc or Viking
hey... here's the deal: there are three variants and no defined name for this vehicle yet. Your objective is to select the most fitting variant and invent a freaking name for it, bro
Model: Helge (btw, his wish is to make the name either feline or canine :P )
PS: when selecting variant take into account that there is a side door in the copter and the engines are meant to pitch and tilt.

Robert Downey Jr., Polly Walker, Meg Ryan, Ian McKellen, Hugh Grant
Directed by Michael Hoffman
Don't be put off by Robert Downey Jr. in the funny hat. And stick with director Michael Hoffman and writer Rupert Walters, who have adapted Rose Tremain's novel of the 17th century, with high-stakes ambitions for this lively, lavish and grandly acted pageant. The film begins with Downey's Merivel, a student of medicine, putting his hand on a patient's exposed heart. His colleague John Pearce (David Thewlis) is amazed at Merivel's daring. So is King Charles II (a superbly sly Sam Neill), who sweeps him into the royal court, where Merivel degenerates into an idle party boy. For marrying Celia (Polly Walker), the king's mistress, on the condition that he will never bed her, Merivel is given an estate, a servant (Ian McKellen) and the freedom to debauch till he drops. The king's portraitist (Hugh Grant in foppish good form) is appalled. Merivel blows the deal by falling in love with Celia and rediscovering his passion to heal.
The film takes a grave turn when Merivel works with Pearce at an asylum, fathers a child by an inmate (a miscast Meg Ryan) and returns to London to battle the bubonic plague. Hoffman makes an $18 million budget look triply potent with awesome scenes such as the great fire of London. But spectacle is merely subtext for a message of hope. At the heart of this inspiring film is a vital AIDS parable that calls for the restoration of compassionate commitment in a modern age consumed by its own plague of indifference. Good show.

Vehicle Fuel Management
How to gain tighter control of fuel expenses
Controlling fuel costs – one of the highest operating expenses for many fleets – is a daunting task. It involves many factors and variables, and requires the juggling of consumption reports, piles of receipts and pages of invoices. Ineffective fuel management is costly, negatively impacting a fleet's bottom line.
Basically, fuel management encompasses accurately collecting data on how a fleet uses fuel and then using this information to better to control consumption, reduce cost and eliminate theft and waste. There a number of methods and systems for accomplishing.
The most basic systems comprise manual data collection and spreadsheets. These systems rely on the consistency of drivers recording their daily odometer readings and fuel purchases, as well as the accuracy of the data entry person and the commitment of the manager to make sense of all the information and decide how to use it, says Jack Lee, president and CEO of 4Refuel Canada, a company specializing in total fuel management solutions.
Such manual and semi-manual systems are susceptible to lost receipts, illegible faxes, inaccurate records and data entry errors, he notes. They also don't help the manager make any sense of the data. Fuel management systems, on the other hand, automate the collecting of fuel data and measure the many activities related to refueling, doing away with human error and helping the manager understand the data.
The introduction of fleet cards has streamlined every aspect of fleet management, says Paul J. Citarella, senior vice president of sales and marketing, FleetCards USA, a company offering a large array of fleet fuel cards. "With their advance controls and tracking, business owners now have a tight rein on the activities of their drivers – however large the fleet may be. Moreover, having eliminated the need to hand over cash to drivers for fuel expenses, there is little room for suspicion or fraudulent activity . . . and internal fuel theft can virtually be a thing of the past."
"If a fleet is running on a cash basis, managers are dependent on their drivers to justify their fuel and maintenance expenses and have to accept whatever receipts they provided," he explains. "Additional time is consumed by reconciling expenses and reimbursing drivers, and the likelihood for theft is at an all-time high. Fleet cards provide control and driver accountability that a cash account or gas card can't provide."
Furthermore, fleet cards will often have incentives that provide a discount or "kickback" on the cost of fuel once a certain volume is reached each month.
As soon as the driver hits the road, the fleet card tracks every expense that is incurred for the vehicle. Refueling, maintenance repairs, fuel economy and mileage all can be tracked online by management, Citarella says. Even particulars such as the cost of fuel, tax, quantity of fuel purchased, the merchant name and location is readily available in real time if required.
Such information provides numerous benefits for a company, as it allows managers to acquire greater control over their fuel expenditures and gain the insight to make changes towards better fuel efficiency.
The best defense against internal fuel theft is the controls that can be set on sophisticated fuel cards, maintains Citarella. Managers can put limits on how much a driver can fuel up in a day, where they can purchase fuel and even limit purchase to fuel only.
Moreover, as fleet cards' tracking software keeps a record of expenses, drivers no longer have to be accountable for submitting receipts and can focus more on the job at hand.
Advanced features in some fleet cards can allow drivers to pay for maintenance at designated, approved locations, Citarella notes. Fleet managers can track to ensure their vehicles are receiving the maintenance and repairs to be operating at their maximum fuel efficiency.

Yate is a next-generation telephony engine. While currently focused on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and PSTN, its power lies in its ability to be easily extended. It supports SIP, H.323, IAX, MGCP, Jingle, Jabber, E1, T1, analogic, robbed bit, ISDN PRI, BRI, and SS7. YateClient is an Instant Messenger and Voice application for Jabber/Jingle IM, SIP, H.323, and IAX VoIP protocols.
Ghostscript is a processor for PostScript and PDF files. It can rasterize these files to a wide variety of printers, devices for screen preview, and image file formats. Since applications tend to prepare pages for printing in a high-level format such as PostScript, most Unix users with low-level bitmap printers, such as inkjets, use GhostScript as part of the printing process. In addition, Ghostscript is capable of converting PostScript files, functionality comparable to Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but on the command line. In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick, gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far from a comprehensive list.
LogicalDOC is a Web-based document management system that is easy to use and learn. Its architecture leverages best-of-breed Java technology to achieve a powerful and flexible solution. It supports its users with a powerful search engine (Lucene), Web service interface (JAX-WS via CXF) compatible with .NET and PHP, versioning, annotation on documents, a WebDAV interface, importing and exporting from .zip files. Documents can be organized into hierarchical folders, searched using the integrated search engine, or browsed by Tag. The system is extensible thanks to the technologies used (Spring-Hibernate) and its plugin architecture.
Gow (GNU On Windows) is a lightweight alternative to Cygwin. It uses a convenient Windows installer that installs about 130 extremely useful open source Unix applications compiled as native Win32 binaries. It is designed to be as small as possible, about 10 MB, as opposed to Cygwin which can run well over 100 MB depending upon options.
BaseX is a light-weight, high-performance, and scalable XML database system and XPath/XQuery processor, including full support for the W3C Update and Full Text extensions. An interactive and user-friendly GUI frontend gives you great insight into large XML data instances. It is platform independent and works out of the box.
The GNU Gatekeeper is a free H.323 gatekeeper based on the OpenH323 project. You can use it to manage a Voice-over-IP network and let endpoints (e.g., Netmeeting) communicate through symbolic names. It also has an external interface for billing and other applications. It runs on a number of Unix versions (including Linux and Solaris) and Windows.
FLTK (pronounced "fulltick") is a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit for UNIX/Linux (X11), Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X. It provides modern GUI functionality without the bloat, and supports 3D graphics via OpenGL and its built-in GLUT emulation. FLTK is designed to be small and modular enough to be statically linked, and also works fine as a shared library. It also includes an excellent UI builder called FLUID that can be used to create applications in minutes.

Palestinian protesters evicted from West Bank site
JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian protesters who pitched tents at a strategic West Bank site to protest plans to build a Jewish housing project there were evicted early Sunday, police said.
Palestinian activists erected tents in the area known as E-1 on Friday saying they wanted to "establish facts on the ground" to stop Israeli construction in the West Bank. The Palestinian activists were borrowing a phrase and a tactic, usually associated with Jewish settlers, who believe establishing communities means the territory will remain theirs once structures are built.
Palestinian activist Abdullah Abu Rahma said the protesters hoped to repitch their tents to continue their protest. "Today, we will see if we can return," he said.
Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said police evicted about 100 protesters from the site early Sunday morning after a court decision authorizing their removal. He did not know which court had allowed the eviction.
Haaretz reported that the eviction was carried out despite a temporary High Court injunction preventing it.
Rosenfeld said no arrests were made during the half hour operation and that no injuries were sustained on either side. He said the tents were not dismantled and that a decision on that would be made later in the day.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday evening ordered roads closed leading to the area and had the military declare a closed military zone and shut off access. Netanyahu's office said that the state was petitioning the Supreme Court to rescind an earlier injunction blocking the evacuation.
Israel announced it is moving forward with the E-1 settlement after the U.N. recognized a de facto state of Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in November.
Palestinians say E-1 would be a major blow to their statehood aspirations as it blocks east Jerusalem from its West Bank hinterland. Palestinians are demanding these areas, along with Gaza, for their future state.
Activists said they wanted to build a village called Bab al-Shams at the site.

Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.
TAKE CONTROL TODAYi am 25 year old male was diagnosed with temperal lobe epilepsy when i was 22 i get simple partial, complex partial and gand mal seizures, althought as far back as i can remember i remember having the sensations i get when i have my simple partial seizures. but im on 3 different seizure meds an my seizures are not controlled, they seem to be actually getting worse but i am in the process of applying for CA disability i was just wondering if anybody has done so an wat they experienced in the actual process and if its not to intrusive wat there benifets may be
would appreciate any advice
When I applied, I was told that epilepsy isn't considered a disability unless I experienced 3 or more seizures/month. They could all be on the same day, but the number had to be at least 3/month. I was also told that if I took a job for 1 hour/week I'd no longer be considered disabiled. I suggest you contact them to make sure you know exactly what the requirements are today for you to know if you qualify for Social Security Disability. (They also made me wait 1 year to receive my 1st check. I think that has increased to 2 years.)
Best of luck,
I am 20 and I am a member of the CA Department of Rehabilitation. The state program helps people with disabilities find employment. As a current college student, they give me $400 dollars every year for textbooks and $60 every quarter for a bus pass. I'm sure they could help you too.
As the year begins, most Americans are seeing smaller paydays as Social Security taxes boost. That is the reason a brand new Conference Board statement cites for January's drastic drop in consumer confidence. Get more data here.
Either way.... Good luck Jimmie :) I hope things work out for the best!
Hi JimmieD,
Temporal lobe epilepsy has been a problem for my entire life. Simple partial seizures were the majority of seizures for my first couple decades, both daily random seizures and intense clusters about every 4 to 5 weeks. Complex partial seizures were mainly during the clusters then, but became more frequent & intense with the passage of the years. Secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal) became frequent during the clusters in my mid-thirties.
My formal work history was greatest in my late teens to early twenties, while my most active Tadzio years were from my late teens to my early thirties. Outgrowing my David's, by Donatello, youthful physique, I used the proceeds to complete my university studies with more employable academic majors (all the would-be Goliaths were fascinated by my impairments, as were a few Draculas). I soon discovered that outstanding academic successes would not counter the extreme fear otherwise legitimate employers have of engaging epileptics in any career position.
The type of program allowing the official considering of disability benefits depend mainly on the priority of type and length of work history, and, then, establishing that the definition of being disabled is met to qualify for receiving the disability benefits is pretty much the same for all programs, generally following SSDI criteria for impairments.
It's difficult to establish that epilepsy makes a person unable to work because of the epileptic seizures, as SSDI criteria are rather strict and/or laden with much bureaucratic technicalities.
The common side-effects of epilepsy & seizures are generally more limiting to gainful activities than are the seizures themselves (for instance,I regard my migraines as more disabling than epileptic seizures, though my epileptic seizures usually invoke prejudicially intense degrees of regarded disability from individuals who control availability of my pursuits with gainful activities).
Disability evaluations supposedly follow a five step procedure, where step 3 requires at least (or more than) monthly grand mals that are unresponsive to treatment (and expected to be that way for more than 12 months), and/or less than grand mal seizures that are very frequent, interfering to most all major life activities, and also unresponsive to treatment.
"Residual Functional Capacity" is most important in Step 5, as the common side-effects of epilepsy & seizures often reduces residual functional capacity to levels that satisfy eligibility for a determination of even an SSDI level of disability.
The technicalities to Step 3 are somewhat illustrated in the court case "Brown versus Apfel":
The technicalities and importance of Step 5 are somewhat illustrated in the catch-all at:
As I was still trying for employment as I was also required to file for disability, the case of "Cleveland versus Policy Management Systems Corp." illustrates the main technicalities I encountered:
Court Case: www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/97-1008.ZO.html
and, reconciling SSDI/SSI with the ADA (ADAAAA): scholarship.law.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1093&context=elders
As I had spent much time at university after working to go to university, my work history was too ancient to meet time averaged sufficient work periods for SSDI, and I was stuck with SSI & Medicaid. In California, SSI includes the food-stamp allotment, which results in a total of $866.40 a month for an individual, if the definition of maintaining an independent household is met (or if homelessness with an address is met (if not met, knock off about $230 a month)). A small additional meals allowance is supposedly available if cooking facilities are not available or cannot be safely used (one social worker tells me not to use cooking facilities because of the dangers of epilepsy, while another one says it is perfectly safe to use all cooking facilities with epilepsy (with known epilepsy, having a seizure and burning down the neighborhood trying to prepare meals will still be a criminal offense)).
P.S.: If the condition started in childhood or adolescence, there is legal conflict about ability to draw disability payments from your parent's social security insurance. Not only did my epilepsy begin in early childhood, I believe mine also has a strong genetic component (TSC), but, so far, gov says I earned too much money (but not enough), and gov evades providing genetic testing without a federal court order.
Great information Tadzio.! Thanks for sharing. Wow.
Can you please explain what you would classify as a "simple partial". I've been having new sensations over the past 6 months or so, and I can only describe them as simple and complex partials. This is based on my reading about them on Wikipedia and other places like that. I can't say for sure that is what is happening, but last week what I would call one of my "complex partials" escalated into a Grand mal. It was my first ever Grand Mal while awake. It was very scary. I'm trying to make sense of this and how after so many years (7 or 8 years) that I am now having these problems.
i believe there are 4 different types of simple partials, it also probably depends on where your seizure focus is as to the way it would make you feel during one. but from my research on them i believe i get psychic simple partials it starts out like a deja vu feeling or jamius vu like its from a dream that ive had i get a strange sensation that comes over my body starting from my stomach , i get clammy, and its just so many sensations all at once its hard to describe like fear, anxiety, euphoria i feel like my surroundings arnt real. during my simple partials i am aware somewhat but during my complex parials im not an have no recolection of it. i can understand trying to make sense of it all i am still trying to, its a bunch of horse shit but i dont konw your age but sometimes the onset of seizures is inbetween certain ages i believe. but i hoped this helped a bit and good luck.
Thanks for your response. For me, it's happens out of the blue and is like I've immediately gone stupid. I find myself completely incapable of understanding the words that are being spoken to me. If I try to read something when this happens, the words are like hieroglyphics. This lasts about 15 to 30 seconds, then it's over. I don't have any deja vu, etc. like you described.
I'm completely aware of the fact that it's happening when it does, but I just have to sit and wait it out until it passes.
For a complex, it's all the symptoms of what I'm calling a "simple" with the added bonus of blurred vision, almost like my depth perception gets temporarily messed up and dizziness. I can also get a feeling like I'm losing control.

The first squad is expected to be 35 players, minus any Highlanders, due to the fact that they are touring.
However it would not be a surprise if the currently injured Ma'a Nonu was part of the first All Blacks session.
For the other four New Zealand franchises, it will be a demand on the man management skills of the Super Rugby coaching staff, for while some might class it as a disruption, it is a reality of the professional game.
Having players called up for Test duty appears to be a double edged sword.
The popular tune being sung at this time is that All Blacks don't fire up early in the Super Rugby season, but few coaches will deny it is a huge honour for both player and franchise to be called into a Test camp, even if it means that a squad - and as a consequence possibly standings - need to be ready for adjustments.
The first camp officially runs from Sunday May 19 till Tuesday May 21.
Prior to the camp, the Crusaders and Hurricanes host the Blues and Chiefs respectively in Round 14 of Investec Super Rugby.
Following the camp is a blockbuster between the Chiefs and Crusaders, the opening match of Round 15, while the Blues play a massive match against the Brumbies.
With a shortened prep window, Super Rugby coaches will need to make the decision on how to manage All Blacks call ups. In the latter matches cases, some players if selected would have a three to four day turnaround to play.
There is a second training camp on Sunday May 26 (running till the following Tuesday), with the Steinlager Series against France commencing on June 8 at Eden Park.

Boundless: An Interview with Bruce Cockburn
One of the most prolific singer-songwriters to emerge from the 1960s, Bruce Cockburn is also the most eclectic, very likely the most honest, and certainly the most overlooked. Upon the release of his 31st studio album, Small Source of Comfort, I had the opportunity to talk with him about his new record, his career, and even Justin Bieber.

Although today's Warsaw is a fairly young city, it has many tourist attractions. Apart from the Warsaw Old Town quarter, reconstructed after World War II, each borough has something to offer. Among the most notable landmarks of the Old Town are the Royal Castle, King Zygmunt's Column, Market Square, and the Barbican.
Further south is the so-called Royal Route, with many classicist palaces, the Presidential Palace and the University of Warsaw campus. Wilanów Palace, the former royal residence of King John III Sobieski, is notable for its baroque architecture and parks.
Warsaw's oldest public park, the Saxon Garden, is located within 10 minutes' walk from the old town. Warsaw's biggest public park is the Royal Baths Park, established in the 17th century and given its current classical shape in late 18th century. It is located further south, on the Royal Route, about 3 km (1.9 mi) from the Warsaw Old Town.
The Powązki Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Europe, full of sculptures, some of them by the most renowned Polish artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. Since it serves the religious communities of Warsaw, be it Catholics, Orthodox, Jews, Muslims or Protestants, it is often called a necropolis. Nearby is the Okopowa Street Jewish Cemetery, one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Europe.
In many places in the city the Jewish culture and history resonates down through time. Among them the most notable are the Jewish theater, the Nożyk Synagogue, Janusz Korczak's Orphanage and the picturesque Próżna Street. The tragic pages of Warsaw's history are commemorated in places such as the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes, the Umschlagplatz, fragments of the Ghetto wall on Sienna Street and a mound in memory of the Jewish Combat Organization.
There are also many places commemorating the heroic history of Warsaw.Pawiak, an infamous German Gestapo prison now occupied by a Mausoleum of Memory of Martyrdom and the museum, is only the beginning of a walk in the traces of Heroic City. The Warsaw Citadel, an impressive 19th-century fortification built after the defeat of the November Uprising, was a place of martyr for the Poles. Another important monument, the statue of Little Insurgent located at the ramparts of the Old Town, commemorates the children who served as messengers and frontline troops in the Warsaw Uprising, while the impressive Warsaw Uprising Monument by Wincenty Kućma was erected in memory of the largest insurrection of World War II.
In Warsaw there are many places connected with the life and work of Frédéric Chopin. The heart of Polish-born composer is sealed inside Warsaw's Holy Cross Church. During the summer time the Chopin Statue in the Royal Baths Park is a place where pianists give concerts to the park audience.
Also many references to Marie Curie, her work and her family can be found in Warsaw: Marie's birthplace at the Warsaw New Town, the working places where she did her first scientific works and the Radium Institute at Wawelska Street for the research and the treatment of which she founded in 1925.
Warsaw Mermaid:
Main article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Warsaw
The mermaid (syrenka) is Warsaw's symbol and can be found on statues throughout the city and on the city's coat of arms. This imagery has been in use since at least the mid-14th century. The oldest existing armed seal of Warsaw is from the year 1390, consisting of a round seal bordered with the Latin inscription Sigilium Civitatis Varsoviensis (Seal of the city of Warsaw). City records as far back as 1609 document the use of a crude form of a sea monster with a female upper body and holding a sword in its claws. In 1653 the poet Zygmunt Laukowski asks the question:
Warsaw of strong walls; why was the emblem Mermaid with sharp sword, given you by the kings?
--Zygmunt Laukowski
The Mermaid Statue stands in the very centre of Old Town Square, surrounded by a fountain. Due to vandalism, the original statue had been moved to the grounds of the Historical Museum of Warsaw - the statue in the square is a copy. This is not the only mermaid in Warsaw. Another is located on the bank of the Vistula River near Świętokrzyski Bridge and another on Karowa Street.
The origin of the legendary figure is not fully known. The best-known legend, by Artur Oppman, is that long ago two of Triton's daughters set out on a journey through the depths of the oceans and seas. One of them decided to stay on the coast of Denmark and can be seen sitting at the entrance to the port of Copenhagen. The second mermaid reached the mouth of the Vistula River and plunged into its waters. She stopped to rest on a sandy beach by the village of Warszowa, where fishermen came to admire her beauty and listen to her beautiful voice. A greedy merchant also heard her songs; he followed the fishermen and captured the mermaid.
Another legend says that a mermaid once swam to Warsaw from the Baltic Sea for the love of the Griffin, the ancient defender of the city, who was killed in a struggle against the Swedish invasions of the 17th century. The mermaid, wishing to avenge his death, took the position of defender of Warsaw, becoming the symbol of the city.
Every member of the Queen's Royal Hussars of the United Kingdom light cavalry wears the Maid of Warsaw, the crest of the City of Warsaw, on the left sleeve of his No. 2 (Service) Dress. Members of 651 Squadron Army Air Corps of the United Kingdom also wear the Maid of Warsaw on the left sleeve of their No. 2 (Service) Dress.
Famous people:
Further information: Category:People from Warsaw
One of the most famous people born in Warsaw was Maria Skłodowska-Curie, who achieved international recognition for her research on radioactivity. Famous musicians include Władysław Szpilman and Frédéric Chopin. Though Chopin was born in the village of Żelazowa Wola, about 60 km (37 mi) from Warsaw, he moved to the city with his family when he was seven months old.Kazimierz Pułaski, a hero of the American Revolutionary War, was born here in 1745.
Tamara de Lempicka was a famous artist born in Warsaw. She was born Maria Górska in Warsaw to wealthy parents and in 1916 married a Polish lawyer Tadeusz Łempicki.

Salty dragonflyBy ROWAN HOOPER
* Japanese name: Shiokara tonbo * Scientific name: Orthetrum albistylum speciosum * Description: A fast-flying dragonfly 48-57 mm long. Males have a pale-blue body; the end of the abdomen is pointed and black, and is equipped with a pair of clasping appendages. Females are usually a brown-yellow color, but there is much variation. The end of the female abdomen is broader than in males; it stores eggs and fires them out in a scatter pattern. As males mature, a waxy white substance develops on their abdomens -- this explains their Japanese name, salty dragonfly. In English, these dragonflies are often called darters because of their habit of darting out from perches to feed. * Where to find them: In rice paddies, swamps, ponds, fields, shrines, temples and city parks from April to October. They like bright areas. Females lay eggs in shallow water while hovering, and a male usually guards her. * Food: Other flying insects. All six legs are held together to form a basket, which is used to scoop insects out of the air. * Special features: Males are unusual in that they have two sets of genitalia. The testes are located at the end of the abdomen, and a secondary set, containing a specialized penis, is located at the junction of the abdomen and thorax. This is why dragonflies have to form a wheel shape when they copulate -- the female is caught by the neck (in midair) by the claspers on the male's abdomen and swung around to engage with the penis. Before he inseminates the female, the male scrapes out sperm the female has stored from previous matings, using hooks and bristles on his penis. |

Why does Claudius not proceed with legal action against Hamlet for killing Polonius?
Topic: Hamlet
Why does Claudius not proceed with legal action against Hamlet for killing Polonius?
3 Answers | add yours
Most likely because Hamlet is the prince, and therefore above the law in some senses. There are a few other possible reasons too however. Legal action would have been too 'by the book' for Claudius. In other words, Claudius is a murderer - he murdered his brother. He deals with things in a different way than most kings do. Also, he is beginning to know that Hamlet is a threat to him so he would rather do something that ends in Hamlet's death. Legal action could have taken too long. And finally, Claudius is unsure like the rest of them about Hamlet's sanity, although he suspects Hamlet knows what he is doing. So, he sends him to England with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and a note that tells the King of England to behead him. Hamlet of course, escapes.
Posted by cmcqueeney on October 28, 2007 at 8:45 PM (Answer #1)
I believe another reason Claudius gives is his "love" for Gertrude and how it would crush her to have her son tried (and possibly executed) for murder. He decided it would be better for her if he just sent Hamlet away to England, making sure that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern deliver the letter to the English king, ordering Hamlet's immediate execution. At least then, Gertrude wouldn't perceive Hamlet's death as being tied to Claudius in any way.
Posted by malibrarian on October 28, 2007 at 10:26 PM (Answer #2)
In addition to both these fine answers, Claudius knows something must be done with Hamlet and that something comes in the form of Polonius' son. The two of them concoct a duel, in which Hamlet is poisoned by the tip of his opponent's sword. All this is agreed upon after Hamlet shows up again from England having escaped from that diabolical plan. Hamlet does succumb to the poison sword, but not until after most everyone else is also dead.

Larry Brown Sports:
While some members of the Los Angeles Lakers may be happy with the hiring of Mike D'Antoni as the team's head coach, Pau Gasol surely is displeased.
The four-time All-Star has experienced two of his poorest statistical games this season in the last two Lakers contests — both losses. Gasol also found himself on the bench for the entire fourth quarter of the 106-98 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. Not only did Gasol deal with that disappointment, but D'Antoni also seemed to insult him after the game.
During his postgame news conference, D'Antoni was asked what he was thinking when he left Pau on the bench in crunch time again. He spared no feelings in his response.
"I was thinking 'Oh, I'd like to win this game.' That's what I was thinking," D'Antoni said.
Gasol had picked up his fourth foul with just over a minute left in the third quarter when he went to the bench, and he never returned. He said he couldn't remember the last time he didn't play an entire fourth quarter.

By Olivia Collings | Thursday, 9 August 2012
Australian energy consumers, and the local legal industry, are missing out on a global renewable energy boom as a result of the current regulatory environment. According to DLA Piper partner Stephen Webb, the Australian Government's renewable energy targets for 2020 do not ensure a diverse and well developed renewable energy industry as there are no provisions on what types of renewable energy are used, or how much of the target can come from one form of renewable energy.
"The only way to make these [renewable energy] projects economically viable is by creating a regulatory environment where the retailers have to buy energy from certain renewable sectors," said Webb. "We need to have regulatory intervention in the market, whereby the government directs the retailers to not only hit the 2020 targets for renewable power, but also that they must do that in a wider context including solar, wave, biomass as well as wind." To date wind has been the preferred renewable energy option in Australia because of its lower cost.
Webb, who joined DLA Piper's Brisbane office from overseas almost two years ago, has been working on renewable energy projects for the past four years, initially in Abu Dhabi. Since returning to Australia Webb has been inundated with work on projects across the globe, particularly in Asia, but has had little Australian-based project work. "Australia is very disappointing on a global scale and within the region," said Webb. "There are many international solar companies looking at Australia for some time, as a result of our environment, but they have been frustrated with the lack of projects in the market. There have not been any large scale solar projects in Australia; only a medium sized one in WA."
The ACT Government announced earlier in the year a reverse solar auction for the development of a 40 megawatts solar facility as part of its renewable energy targets. As in other markets around the world the ACT Government has had to guarantee tariffs for the solar power for 20 years in order to attract interest. "The only way to make large solar projects viable is to guarantee a large tariff for the electricity over a long period of time, as opposed to subsidising the capital costs," said Webb.
Webb expects the cost of solar power, which has dropped substantially as production of the panels improves, to decrease in the coming years to the point where it might be economically viable without tariffs in markets where traditional energy sources are more costly. "Despite all the publicity about the increases in electricity prices, we still have relatively cheap electricity on a global scale," he said. "It is not yet known whether electricity prices [in Australia] are likely to increase to the point where solar power becomes comparable to traditional electricity."

Gap Informative - Discounts on Exchanges/Returns
Review by
Let Me Talk to Your Manager
Comments (11)
WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA -- I learned this at the Gap yesterday and thought it would be informative during the holiday season: apparently if you pay for something at the Gap with a discount (like the 15% off mailers they are sending everybody), that discount cannot be honored if you make an exchange. You will be charged the original price.
The saleswoman explained that when they use the promotion code on your original purchase, it does not pop up when they pull your receipt up for the exchange. So to give you a fair exchange, they have to enter "15% off" or whatever the discount is manually, prompting questions and rejections by the system (sometimes).
She was nice enough to do it manually for me but otherwise I would have had to pay full price for a shirt I bought with a coupon.
Just FYI.

As far as I've been aware, a coupon never transfers between exchanges and purchases, unless you are exchanging for a different size of the same item in the same price bracket within an appropriate amount of time.
Posted by Let Me Talk to Your Manager on 2006-12-13:
Right. In their case, it's for any exchange. I exchanged the same top for a smaller size two days after I bought the original, and it was still against their policy to honor the original discount.

This is good to know, thank you
Posted by jsaunder on 2006-12-14:
This is becoming a common practice for many retailers. Could you tell them it was a gift and exchange it? Do not even provide a receipt? I've done that with no problems.
Posted by Let Me Talk to Your Manager on 2006-12-14:
That's a great idea! I have a feeling it saves them the trouble, too.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2006-12-14:
Thanks for the helpful info.
Posted by queenoid on 2006-12-15:
returning it as a gift won't work - new policy, and the ultimate in shortsighted stupidity. If you don't have a gift receipt, you must return the item for a merchandise credit. I learned this when I tried to exchange my 8 year old daughter's birthday shirt for a size 10 instead of the size 8. New, tags, unworn. I had to buy a new shirt and give me name, address, etc for the refund. But when the refund arrived it was a merchandise credit! Grrr.
Posted by jsaunder on 2006-12-15:
I find that surprising that they did not just exchange the same item for a different size when the item was a gift. I did it about 2 weeks ago ~ no gift receipt ~ that is why I responded to this post. Had I just returned it, or wanted to exchange for something completely different, I could understand receiving a merchandise credit as they will normally return the item at the current price without a receipt or gift receipt. But doing an even exchange? Is the policy change recent? Or maybe your sales rep did it wrong? If that is indeed a new policy then I may have to shop elsewhere! I would be mad if they processed an even exchange that way!
Posted by jsaunder on 2006-12-15:
queenoid ~ Just checked the return policy stated on GAP.com. You are right! I agree with you ~ Grrr! It seems I was the one that lucked out. Wow, I am floored. That is definitely not fair and sneaky on Gap's part since many people do not include gift receipts in their gifts....assuming you can do an even exchange if needed for size.
Posted by Connie159357 on 2007-07-08:
There's the small print on every Gap Inc coupon that explains all the terms and conditions for using that coupon. Prehaps reading it in advance will clear up on confusion. All coupons state that it is a one time only thing and that returning or exchanging may result in a lost of the coupon. As a Gap Inc employee I can tell you that you are allowed to do an even exchange for the item and not pay the difference. As for the return policy without a receipt anything over $5. the only thing a sales associate is allowed to do is merchandise credit that gets mailed to your house in 7-10 days. However managers do have the discretion to allow an exchange w/o receipt. Many stores are taking a this is out policy and we are sticking to it approach (which I think they should as it's less confusing for customers) but some stores just want to make you happy.
Posted by corilynne32 on 2008-04-22:
I would just like you to know that the cashier that you went to does not know what they are doing. If you purchase something and then return it for an even exchange (i.e. same exact thing, different size) we are required to honor the price you paid for it. The only time we are not required to give you the exactsame thing is if you do not purchase the same exact thing (i.e. same thing, different color) If we do not have what you wanted in the exact same color, 99% of cashiers will honor it, but otherwise, you are right, you do not get the discount. Say you buy a pair of pants with the 15% off, decide you don't want them, and bring them back. You return them for a tank top, no you would not recieve 15%. If your story goes as told, I am sorry that your cashier applied such horrible service. If that was my store, it would have not happened like that.
