The Odessa National Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet is the oldest theater in Odessa, Ukraine. The first opera house was opened in 1810 and destroyed by fire in 1873. The modern building was constructed by Fellner and Helmer in neo-baroque style and opened in 1887. The luxorious hall follows rococo style. Its unique acoustics allows to deliver even a whisper from the stage to any part of the hall. The most recent renovation of the theater was completed in 2007.

Summary of legislation
There is existing legislation which outlaws discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation within employment, vocational training and further and higher education: Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003. While these have been very important in ensuring equality of opportunity for individuals whatever their sexual orientation, they are limited to employment and training. Guidance on the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003 can be downloaded from the publications/sexual orientation section on our website.
Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006
The government introduced a new law on 1 January 2007 to prohibit discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation in the provision of goods, facilities, services, premises, education and public functions.
Why is a new law needed?
There are no official statistics in relation to the number of gay, lesbian or bisexual people in Northern Ireland. However, research conducted by the HM Treasury shows that between 5% - 7% of the UK population identify themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual or ´trans´ ((transsexual, transgendered and transvestites) (LGBT)). This is a sizeable proportion of the population here in Northern Ireland.
Research carried out in Northern Ireland this year has demonstrated that gay, lesbian and bisexual people experience discrimination in a whole variety of everyday situations. It was found that 41.1% had experienced homophobia when accessing goods, facilities and services (McNamee 2006). For example, 36% experienced homophobia when visiting bars in Northern Ireland.
Research has also repeatedly shown that gay, lesbian and bisexual pupils are more frequently bullied and harassed at school because of their sexual orientation. One study reported that 72% of lesbian, gay and bisexual adults reported a regular history of absenteeism at school due to homophobic harassment (Rivers, 2000).
These statistics give clear evidence to show that discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation does happen to individuals when accessing everyday services.
The facts about this new law - an overview
On 1 January 2007 regulations were introduced which make it unlawful for service providers to discriminate on the grounds of sexual orientation in the provision of goods, facilities and services.
Almost all service providers will be covered regardless of size whether they are in the public, private or voluntary sector. It will not matter whether the services are paid for or are free of charge.
Examples of service providers that will be affected by the regulations include shops, restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues, education, housing and government departments.
The only exemption from the legislation is for some activities of religious organisations where the sole purpose is to:
- practice a religion or belief
- advance a religion or belief
- teach the principles of a religion or belief
- enable persons of a religious belief to engage in any activity or receive a benefit within the framework of that religion or belief.
The exemption is not extended to religious organisations whose sole or main purpose is commercial.
The types of discrimination covered under the regulations are:
- Direct Discrimination
- Indirect Discrimination
- Harassment
- Victimisation
Discrimination complaints under the regulations must be made within 6 months of the act of discrimination taking place and will be heard in a County Court.
Who has rights?
Sexual orientation means an individual´s sexual orientation towards:
- people of the same sex (gay or lesbian)
- people of the opposite sex (heterosexual)
- people of both sexes (bisexual)
The new law applies to everyone, whether they are lesbians, gay men, heterosexual or bisexual. Everyone has rights. However, it is predominately people who are gay, lesbian and bisexual who have experienced discrimination in the past and that this law aims to protect.
The legislation also protects people who are discriminated against because of their perceived sexual orientation or because of their association with someone with a particular sexual orientation, for example, a child whose parents are gay or lesbian.
The Business Case
Britain´s 3 million gay and lesbian citizens earned over £70 billion last year. Coupled with the fact that gay and lesbian households have fewer children, this community have a greater disposable income to spend. Therefore there is a clear business case for organisations to welcome and encourage customers regardless of sexual orientation.
Businesses have much to gain by opening their doors to the gay, lesbian and bisexual community: it makes good business sense to have a range of clientele as diverse as society itself. Embracing diversity and promoting equality of opportunity will only serve to welcome and encourage more customers.
It affects us all!
One of the most striking things about the sexual orientation GFS regulations is that it affects us all. We all have a sexual orientation be it gay, lesbian, heterosexual or bisexual and it is possible that we may be treated less favourably because of this. While it is recognised that people who are gay, lesbian and bisexual are disproportionately discriminated against because of their sexuality, everyone has something to gain from this legislation.

Beautiful sympathy gift
By: JenSea
From: Brier, WA
See all my reviews
I ordered this as a sympathy bouquet when my stepmom's 92-year-old mother passed away. I didn't see the flowers in person as I live in another state, but she and my dad said it was really beautiful. I especially liked that it didn't have the usual white funeral lilies -- the pollen from those triggers my dad's allergies. I also liked that it came in a basket rather than a vase, since they had to drive a couple of hours to her services and this seemed like it would be easier to transport. I would definitely choose this arrangement again as a sympathy gesture.

Lovely arrangement
By: Linda H.
From: Swartswood, NJ
While I was unable to actually see the arrangement, I was told by others at the service how lovely it was. The flowers were perfectly fresh, and there was a good mix of fully opened and partially open blooms. There was a very small window of time in which the flowers could be delivered, but they were there right on time. I'm very pleased with the overall quality of both the arrangement and delivery service, and the only reason I didn't give it a higher rating was because I didn't see it for myself.
By: Tana
From: Mesquite, TX
The flowers were everybit as beautiful as pictured and were so appreciated by the recipient. It was the perfect way to express my sympathy.

Arizona Cardinals have no interviews scheduled for Thursday
No one else will be, either, according to Arizona Sports 620's Kyndra de St. Aubin.
Heard from Cardinals that NO interviews schedule today.
— Kyndra de St. Aubin (@Kyndra620) January 3, 2013
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora tweeted something similar earlier in the day, citing the Bidwills' Fiesta Bowl commitments as a reason for inaction. The game, which will be played Thursday night at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, is pitting Oregon against Kansas State.
Reid was originally scheduled to leave for AZ on Wed. The Bidwells tied up with Fiesta Bowl obligations so difficult to do much there 2day
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 3, 2013
Of course, that does not mean the Cardinals won't be doing anything coaching-search related. As de St. Aubin later reported, candidate Ray Horton will be with Cardinals president Michael Bidwill at some point Thursday.
Hearing that Horton and his family have been invited & will sit in Bidwill's suite w/ Michael for Fiesta Bowl tonight

WelcomeWelcome to the new site! This site now uses CSS and is fully accessible. "The Cacophony Society is a randomly gathered network of individuals united in the pursuit of experiences beyond the pale of mainstream society through subversion, pranks, art, fringe explorations and meaningless madness." And yes we ripped that off from our parent organization. The Sacramento Cacophony Society is an international organization of people who have qualified by scoring at the 2th percentile or lower on a non-standard IQ test. In 1867, the society was instrumental in the founding of the City of Sacramento. Having traveled here via antelopes thrawting attacks by coyotes and wildcats, our great leader and patriarch Jebidiah Nemiahia opened the portal to a alien planet with sound waves in the 1860's. The aliens from the heavy gravity, desert planet, turned Jebediah into The Tall Man by injecting yellow stuff into him. The Tall Man was then controlled by the aliens to rob dead human bodies from the Sacramento Cemetery and turn them into dwarf slaves by using Jebediah's embalming equipment to fill them with the yellow stuff. The Sacramento Cacophony Society is both Jebediah, the Dwarf Slaves and the embalming equipment. Or all three. Our local Sacramento group has somewhere between 400 and 600 members who have qualified and joined Mensa this year. We have about 16,000 more members who are easily manipulated and are dumber then shit. We offer individuals a chance to qualify by taking a test at a local test site. We offer the test each month and we welcome new members. If you would like to find out more about becoming a member. Either join one of our email lists.

Sharing a Healthy Planet
Reducing our Environmental Footprint
Sharing a Healthy Planet
Reducing our Environmental Footprint
Please give a gift to help the Zoo and Zoo Society continue to be a model in Sustainability, so that we may continue to develop and implement Zoo-wide green practices and promote sustainability throughout Northeast Ohio.
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's ZooPoo Compost is a natural soil amendment made from animal manure, straw bedding, wood shavings and other organic matter.
The Zoo has a successful on-site recycling and composting program. We process thousands of cubic yards of manure (from herbivorous animals such as elephants, giraffes, and rhinos), hay, straw, woodchips, and plant material each year. The resulting "Zoo Poo" is used throughout the Zoo and is also available for public purchase to benefit the composting program.
On-site recycling efforts include appliances, batteries, cardboard, cell phones, computer equipment, fluorescent lamps, compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL), glass, inkjet & toner cartridges, metals, aluminum cans, pallets, batteries, paper, phonebooks, plastic, tires & vehicle waste. Recycling containers placed throughout the Zoo collect plastic containers, glass bottles, and aluminum cans from visitors and, concession vendors also participate in Zoo recycling and composting efforts. Visitors can bring recyclable materials to the Zoo any time during regular park hours. Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), cell phones, cell phone batteries and accessories, and inkjet and toner cartridges are all accepted at the recycling exhibit in the Zoo Exhibit Hall. A community-wide paper recycling program collects office/school papers, newspapers, magazines, and phone books at designated "drop-off" sites on Zoo property. The Zoo is continually working to expand efforts in managing waste and is currently integrating food waste into the composting program.
African Elephant Crossing is on track to become the first major outdoor animal exhibit to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified through the U.S. Green Building Council, the nationally accepted construction industry standard for green buildings. LEED certification is based on a point scale assigned to various criteria in the design, construction and operation of the facility and involves standards for energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
Some highlights about the project:
The Zoo is a participating member in the Cleveland Green Venues Initiative and the Ohio Zoos Green Consortium. Both groups support and enhance environmental sustainability and promote collaborative efforts among institutions. The goals are to foster information sharing, mentoring and peer-based learning, and provide leadership and promote sustainability in the region and the state. All institutions involved are working to lead by example and engage the community in green practices.
The Cans for Conservation program was conceived in the spirit of sustainability. The Zoo collects and recycles aluminum cans on grounds and also encourages visitors to collect and bring aluminum cans for targeted can drives held throughout the year and at special Zoo events. On Father's Day at the Zoo, collected cans are spread out and collectively crushed with a construction roller to illustrate that recycling can be fun and is an activity for everyone. The funds generated from aluminum can recycling at the Zoo support regional and international habitat and wildlife conservation projects.

Egr Delete Advice Wanted
Posted 07 January 2013 - 08:26 PM
this link shows a pic of the egr valve - the blank can fit on either side (r/h side is easier to access - not sure where the rubber hoses either):
this link shows what the egr valve connects to (much harder to access as it is at the back of the engine)
so the question is, where do i fit the blank?

Just a point on your links...have you got them the right way round or am I just misunderstanding the whole thing? I thought the second link is the actual EGR valve, which the plate should be placed on, and the first link is the cooler which it connects to, no? Could have it the wrong way round myself though.

Car's no further forward mate. Still haven't got the green light from the insurance company, but I'm not too bothered as I know they can drag their heels and at least I know once I do get the go-ahead it'll be a major transformation in one go. I'll not clog up your thread with it, but still can't wait to get the makeover!

Hi mate, from what I've researched on the 1.8tdci, its by far the most difficult out of the 3 engines to fit a blanking plate to. You need to remove the exhaust, and turbo and all connecting pipework in order to get it in place. Which is what put me off getting one. Also I'm sure they are electrical too, which will throw up a EML once fitted. I just wanted to clean mine, bit after looking at the Haynes manual, and thinking of snapped studs and an awkward bolt on the turbo I decided to give it a miss until it needs doing...
oh great! i was hoping it wouldnt be so difficult. why oh why did they have to make it like this. i am thinking of a decat so the exhaust would have to come off but i dont want to touch the turbo. i would have purchased the intake and cleaned it out before replacing mine but this is not worth the effort. i doubt using the bg244 cleaner would help much either.

Allons enfants de la Patrie Le jour de gloire est arrivé. Contre nous, de la tyrannie, L'étendard sanglant est levé, l'étendard sanglant est levé. Entendez-vous, dans les campagnes. Mugir ces féroces soldats Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras Egorger vos fils, vos compagnes. Aux armes citoyens! Que veut cette horde d'esclaves Aux armes citoyens! Quoi ces cohortes étrangères! Aux armes citoyens! Tremblez, tyrans et vous perfides Aux armes citoyens! Français, en guerriers magnanimes Aux armes citoyens! Nous entrerons dans la carrière Aux armes citoyens! Amour sacré de la Patrie, Aux armes citoyens! |
Let us go, children of the Fatherland To arms, citizens! What do they want this horde of slaves To arms, citizens! What! These foreign cohorts! To arms, citizens! Tremble, tyrants and traitors To arms, citizens! Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors To arms, citizens! We shall enter into the pit To arms, citizens! Sacred love of the fatherland To arms, citizens! |
The Marseillaise may just be the greatest national anthem. It is certainly one of most stirring, but also one of the most sanguinary. It originated during the French Revolution, but did not permanently become the anthem of France until 1879. It was, ironically, composed in 1792, before the overthrow of King Louis XVI, by a monarchist, Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle, a captain stationed on the Rhine, who subsequently was nearly guillotined. The song got its name when a unit from Marseilles entered Paris singing it later in the year. The popularity of the song led to its official adoption in 1795, but it was then shunned by Napoleon I, the restored Kings, and Napoleon III. Only the advent of the Third Republic led to its permanent status.
Intended as a "war wong," the Marseillaise is extraordinarily bloody in its imagery, but I have never heard of any movement to replace it as being too violent, as there is occasional talk in the United States that The Star-Spangled Banner is too war-like. It is now certainly unthinkable that anything but the Marseillaise should be the French national anthem.
Slightly different versions of the song appear on the Internet. In the first verse, I see both "dans nos campagnes" and "dans les campagnes." Also, "ces farouches soldats" occurs for "ces féroces soldats." Since "féroce" is much more like the word in English, my suspicion is that "farouche" may be the original term. There are also occasionally questions about the translation. "Compagnes" means "female companion, consort, partner, mate," any of which makes for a somewhat awkward translation. "Compagnon" would have been just "companion" or "comrade," but I haven't seen that yet. My choice is "companion," which covers "compagne" but is not so specific. In the sixth verse there is "la carrière," here translated as "pit." This makes it sound like an image of hell, but the word simply means "quarry." And there is the problem. "La carrière" has another meaning, "race-ground, course, career, life, profession, etc." This could be more like the intended meaning, but it is hard to tell.
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue, Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit |
Germany, Germany above all Above everything in the world When, always, for protection and defense Brothers stand together. From the Maas to the Memel From the Etsch to the Belt, Germany, Germany above all Above all in the world. German women, German fidelity, Unity and justice and freedom |
The history of the German national anthem is an ironic one. Composed by a nationalist and a republican, Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben, in 1841, it represented everything that was officially frowned upon in contemporary Germany, as the author himself composed the song in exile (on Heligoland, at the time a British possession). The country was not unified -- just the German Confederation -- and its governments were very far from being republics. Originally called Das Lied der Deutschen (or Das Deutschlandlied, "Song of the Germans/of Germany"), the common title is just from the first line of the song. It originally meant, therefore, the unity of Germany over all its existing divisions, not the triumph of Germany over everyone else. The music was taken from the String Quartet in C major (the Kaiser-Quartet), Op. 76,3 of Joseph Haydn, composed in 1797. Although a unified Germany was later brought about by Prussia, Deutschland über Alles nevertheless was never the national anthem of the German Empire, perhaps because its anti-monarchist origins were well remembered. At the same time, that explains better why the song was adopted as the anthem by the Weimar Republic in March, 1922. Like German nationalism itself, the meaning of the song was then transformed by darker forces. Hitler certainly did want Germany to be
"over all" other nations and to dominate the world. But again, Deutschland über Alles was not the favorite song of the Nazis -- that was the Horst Wessel Song. In post-war Germany, the old meaning for the first verse was completely ruined, but the third can still be used as appropriate to the modern state.
God Save the Queen |
God save our gracious Queen, O Lord our God arise, Thy choicest gifts in store Not in this land alone, From every latent foe, |
God Save the Queen (with King substituted in the appropriate reign) is the customary, but unofficial, national anthem of Great Britain. The words and music are officially considered to be of anonymous origin. Many claims are made. Most reasonable is perhaps that for the authorship of Henry Carey, a singer and composer. He is said to have first performed the song in 1740. The oldest print copy is in a song book of 1743 to which Carey was a contributor. It is also claimed that the song is based on a similar hymn sung at the court of Louis XIV of France, and that it was brought to Britain by the Stuart "Bonnie Prince Charlie" at the time of his invasion in 1745. If a British text is available from 1743, however, that chronology is not quite going to work. Older versions of similar songs also exist in England and, it is said, Scotland. The expression, "God Save the King," had, of course, long been used.
Since the song was a personal tribute to the Sovereign, and not necessarily a national song, there came to be parallel versions with the same music, to their respective monarchs, in Prussia, Denmark, Russia, and Liechtenstein. Indeed, during the German Empire, the Prussian version was still being used as the unofficial national anthem. What everyone thinks of as the German national anthem, Deutschland über Alles, had no official recognition until 1922. The version in Liechtenstein is still used there.
My Country, 'Tis of Thee |
My country, 'tis of thee, |
The tune has also been used for songs in countries that are not monarchies, like Switzerland and the United States. The American version, My Country, 'Tis of Thee, was written by Samuel F. Smith in 1831.
God Save the Queen remains a personal song to the monarch in the Dominions where the Queen of England is still the Head of State but which have all, by now, adopted their own national anthems, i.e. God Defend New Zealand (1940, in English and Maori), O Canada! (1980, in English and French), and Advance Australia Fair (1984, but everyone knows that Waltzing Matilda is the real Australian national anthem).
Rule Britannia |
When Britain first, at heaven's command, Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves. The nations not so blest as thee, Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves. Still more majestic shalt thou rise, Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves. Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame, Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves. To thee belongs the rural reign, Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves. The muses still, with freedom found, Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves. |
Rule Britannia is not the British national anthem -- that is God Save the Queen -- but it is about Britain in an important way that the other song is not. Brtain became a Great Power, and was prosperous and safe, because of the Royal Navy. Because the Navy really did "rule the waves," British commerce, industry, and empire became the envy of the world -- suppressing piracy and the slave trade, and producing the Pax Britannica of the 19th century. At the same time, British parliamentary forms, the rule of law, and natural rights became ideals that even the British did not always live up to. And the English language became the lingua franca of the world.
The song began with a poem, "Rule Britannia," by James Thomson. It was put to music by Thomas Augustine Arne and was first performed in 1740. Britain had just gone to war with Spain, the war of "Jenkins' Ear" -- Captain Jenkins supposedly had had his ear cut off by the Spanish. This conflict soon was part of the larger European War of the Austrian Succession. Britain was not at this point dominant at sea, but that was in the works.
Although the revolutionary era is some years in the future, it is curious how this song puts emphasis on freedom and tyrants, as well as commerce, wealth, and greatness. Especially prophetic seem the lines "more majestic shalt thou rise, from each foreign stroke." This was certainly the case with the wars of the 18th century, and especially after the epic struggle against Napoleon. From the terrible wars of the 20th century, however, Britain was less lucky. Staggered by World War I, Britain, although victorious, no longer possessed the supremacy it had had. World War II, a far more desperate fight, left Britain, although again victorious, no longer a power of the first rank -- that was now the "superpowers" of the United States and the Soviet Union. Most conspicuously, the Royal Navy was no longer the master of the seas.
In time, the British retreat into insularity was so great the Argentina was tempted to seize the Falkland Islands (1982), expecting that Britain no longer had the resources or the will to take them back. Big mistake. The successful ejection of the Argentines, however, could not conceal one awkward truth: Britain had been on the verge of decommissioning all her aircraft carriers. The absence of air support would have the Falklands campaign difficult to impossible.
In truth, however, the Royal Navy was the greatest navy of history, and its rule of the waves the most benevolent and beneficient, let alone most universal, of any power ever. Britain was envied for her colonial possessions, which were seen as the source of her power; but it is clear now that this was of limited economic value. Britain was strong from having an entrepreneurial tradition and a free and open market, to an extent that no country in the world has today. Indeed, countries are always worrying about "protecting" themselves. At its height, Britain knew that free trade was its best protection.
Star-Spangled Banner |
Oh! say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mist of the deep, And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, Oh! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand |
The great national anthem of the United States of America, the The Star-Spangled Banner, was a poem written by Francis Scott Key after observing the attempt of the British in 1814 to bombard into submission Ft. McHenry at Baltimore. Detained on a British ship, Key did not know the outcome of the battle until the next morning he saw the American flag still flying over the fort. After his poem was published, it began to be sung to an already existing tune, often said (sometimes disparagingly) to have been an old drinking song (To Anacreon in Heaven).
It was many years before the song had any official status. It quickly, however, gained a certain importance. For instance, it was sung in 1865 at the ceremony when the United States flag was officially rehoisted over Ft. Sumter in Charleston harbor -- where, of course, the Civil War had begun with a Confederate bombardment. Later, the song achieved semi-official status in the usage of John Philip Sousa, conductor of the Marine Corps Band from 1880 to 1892 and thereafter involved with both the Army and Navy music programs -- not to mention composer of immortal marches like The Stars and Stripes Forever. Just before Sousa's death in 1932, Congress officially adopted The Star-Spangled Banner as the national anthem (1931).
The original flag from Fort McHenry is displayed in the Smithsonian Institution (half of it, indeed, was shot away); and flags are kept flying day and night over the Fort itself, and at Francis Scott Key's grave.
The major complaint about the song is that it is just hard to sing. The match between the words of the poem and the music is a little awkward. When done well, however, and countless artists have had their chance at the World Series, the Super Bowl, and political conventions, it is powerful and moving. Another complaint has been its warlike images. These, however, pale beside the Marseillaise, which doesn't seem to receive such criticism. Only the third verse, which no one seems to know or sing, even mentions blood, which is actually in the chorus of the French anthem.
The fourth verse contains other important phrases. "Freemen shall stand between their loved home and the war's desolation" is memorable and occasionally repeated. A version of "In God is our trust" even ended up on American coins ("In God We Trust") -- Salmon P. Chase, Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury, put it there during the Civil War.
Body |
John Brown's body lies a-mouldring in the grave, Glory, glory Hallelujah, glory, glory Hallelujah, He captured Harper's Ferry with his nineteen men so true, Glory, glory Hallelujah, glory, glory Hallelujah, He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord, Glory, glory Hallelujah, glory, glory Hallelujah, John Brown died that the slave might be free, Glory, glory Hallelujah, glory, glory Hallelujah, Now has come the glorious jubilee, Glory, glory Hallelujah, glory, glory Hallelujah, |
Since John Brown's Body and The Battle Hymn of the Republic both use the same music, and both concern the same issues and train of events, it is suitable that they be treated together.
John Brown was the sort of Abolitionist to whom "by any means necessary" would have been an agreeable sentiment. He eagerly joined the mutual massacres in "Bloody Kansas" in 1855, to prevent the territory from voting for slavery. He lost the vote, but Congress rejected the petition to admit Kansas as a Slave State. More dramatic yet was his attempt in 1859 in seize the Federal Arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, and spark a slave revolt. This was even less successful than his Kansas adventures, and he was captured by, of all people, Colonel Robert E. Lee. Tried for treason and hung, Brown became more successful as a martyr to Abolitionism than he ever had been in his violent projects.
The tune of the song was from an old camp meeting or revival song -- Say Brothers Will You Meet Us? The origin of the actual words is lost in battling legends.
On May 28, 1863, the Massachussetts 54th Regiment, the first black unit in the United States Army, paraded in review in Boston, singing John Brown's Body. As a matter of fact, John Brown lies, with several of his fellow Harper's Ferry conspirators, in graves on his own farm, just outside Lake Placid, New York.
of the Republic |
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: Glory! Glory Hallelujah! Glory! Glory Hallelujah! I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps, Glory! Glory Hallelujah! Glory! Glory Hallelujah! I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel: Glory! Glory Hallelujah! Glory! Glory Hallelujah! He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; Glory! Glory Hallelujah! Glory! Glory Hallelujah! In the beauty of the lilies Christ was bom across the sea, Glory! Glory Hallelujah! Glory! Glory Hallelujah! |
As the battles of the Civil War became increasingly terrible, all began to feel that only Divine Intervention would settle the matter. The Battle Hymn became the most famous and durable version of the Union Appeal to Heaven.
Return to "Abortion"
Waltzing Matilda |
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda my darling, Down came the jumbuck to drink at the water-hole, Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda my darling, Up came the Squatter a-ridding his thoroughbred, Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda my darling, The swagman he up and he jumped in the water-hole, Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda my darling, |
Although it has no offical status, and an offical national anthem does exist for Australia (Advance Australia Fair, adopted 1984), Waltzing Matilda is certainly the most beloved Australian national song, and internationally recognizable as well. It was written by Andrew Barton "Banjo" Patterson (1864-1941) in 1895 while visiting a sheep station in Queensland, based on some local stories he heard. It was an instant success. Considering that it is a very sad song, about a man who kills himself rather than endure arrest, its appeal indicates a traditional anti-authoritarian streak in Australian culture. In a country where it is illegal not to vote, where personal firearms are being confiscated, and where free speech is not completely protected, one wonders how well or how long this distrust of authority is fated to endure. One can only hope for a reaction in which the contrariness of our thieving swagman will reassert itself.
The language of the song contains a number of perplexing dialect terms. The "swagman" is an itinerant sheep shearer. His "swag" is his bedroll and other possessions. A "billabong" is pool of water from a dried up creek or stranded oxbow pond. These are common enough in Australia, a relatively dry land, that the Australian lungfish are adapted for them: when the oxygen in the water is depleted, the fish can breath the air. A "coolibah tree" is eucalyptus, now nearly as familiar in California as in Australia. A "billy" is tin can used as a cooking or tea pot. A "jumbuck" is a sheep. A "tucker-bag" is understandable from American usage, where "tucker" is "food." A "squatter" would be something like a homesteader in the United States, where "squatter" itself is used more for trespassers. The "troopers" are mounted policemen, and some versions of the song simply say "policemen." "Waltzing Matilda" means to travel around as the swagman does, with "waltz" borrowed from German immigrants, with perhaps a double entendre involved, as "waltz" can also be a dance. "Matilda" either is a proper name for the swagman's bedroll, or a general term, dating all the way back to the Thirty Years War, it is said, for camp followers or the bedrolls and blankets that perforce took their place.
Thief or no, the swagman clearly has a hard life, sleeping in the open and cooking over his fire; and Waltzing Matilda clearly evokes the harsh life of the early transported convicts, and later difficulties in Australian life, like grim experiences in World War I and II. It is thus a great song, not just of Australian, but of human life.

Derrick Rose won't return to rescue Chicago Bulls in Game 7

07:56 PM ET 05.03 | There is still hope among Chicago Bulls fans, including this one right here, that superstar point guard Derrick Rose will return this season and somehow save the Bulls. But with their backs up against the wall in a decisive Game 7 this Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets, the Chicago Bulls and their fans can stop counting on the improbable to occur, as there is "no indication" that Derrick Rose will rise and return. At this point, any hope and subsequent disappointment felt by Bulls fans wanting to see Rose out on the court is self-inflicted. It would be nice if Rose returned and there's not a more epic stage than a Game 7 of an NBA Playoffs series, but it's looking like Rose really will just be collecting a check for the 2013 season and doing little more than that.

If Rose ain't ready then he ain't ready..
Why rush back like Roy?
Look at Oden...
Point blanK, if the bulls should learn anything it's don't depend on the 1 man band theory.
That doesn't work anymore.
Ask the heat the year after their first title...
Riley learned and got Wade more help.
That's what the bulls need to do.
See Westbrook is out, but Kevin Martin has picked up the slack...
Boozer is good, but not good enough!
Amnesty him, get a all star caliber 2 guard and a decent power forward to start for cheap.

the 2 NBA players who's Q ratings have taken an enormous hit this year are Dwght and Rose.
Based on media reports I'd say Howard is Shady and Rose is a scared crow. Bulls should look to trade him with that kinda attitude.
Rose right now is mentally challenged.
That's why another dude took his SAT in Motown.

A Special Holiday Message
To All My Democrat Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee. To My Republican Friends: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! |

To answer the OP's question, I think you need to be doing all of the above. It's all a part of your marketing mix. For social media to work, you need to have a product, service or brand that lends itself to that channel. Not all businesses can or even should be there. SEO or PPC works for just about any business with differing results, but it does work and is relevant.
Here are my personal thoughts, social media is a passing fad. This year the flavor is Facebook and twitter, next year it will probably be something else. As someone else posted, do you remember MySpace and Bebo?
As a company, you should be spending most of your money on known marketing tactics that work i.e. branding, direct marketing, SEO/PPC, email, mobile, etc... once you have tapped that out, then explore new areas like social media.

Chapter 9:Concerns and/or Questions regarding Candidature; Unsatisfactory Progress; Research Misconduct; Grievances and Appeals
9.1 Concerns and/or questions regarding candidature
Candidates who have concerns or questions about any matter connected with their enrolment, the administration of their degree, supervision, facilities or any other area which impacts on their research are encouraged to take this up with their supervisor(s). If the supervisor(s) is/are unable to assist the candidate, the School Graduate Co-ordinator should be approached. Administrative questions should be directed to the School Graduate Administrator. Candidates who feel that the School cannot satisfactorily deal with their concerns, are invited to approach the Manager of the HDR Operations either in person, by letter or by email. The Associate Dean (Graduate Research) is also available for consultation with HDR candidates . Both the Manager and the Associate Dean (Graduate Research) will see and advise candidates on a fully confidential basis whenever required.
Candidates are strongly encouraged to raise any concerns via the means recommended in the previous paragraph, rather than not addressing the issues in the hope that they will 'go away'.
Candidates who for some reason are unwilling to approach anyone in the Faculty of Arts, may wish to consult with the staff at the Monash Postgraduate Association (MPA) or the staff at the Monash Research Graduate School (MRGS).
Matters which cannot be solved by the process outlined above, will be dealt with according to the Grievance and Appeals Procedures outlined below.

Minor in Multimedia
Using digital technology as a tool for creative expression. Melding this technology with visual artistry. A team-focused attitude. It takes a special person to succeed in multimedia. And that's why CLU's multimedia department takes only a select few.
Students are selected for the program-a three-year, cross-disciplinary degree-after completing the introductory course during freshman year. Transfer students may be accepted into the program on the basis of previous college coursework.
Emphasizing creativity and teamwork-to mirror the work environment they will enter-the curriculum focuses on development of multimedia production skills through project-based assignments, while addressing the social, ethical, and legal issues facing the industry. Students tackle projects in web design, interactive kiosk interface, independent movies, movie trailers, 3D animation, and digital music. Final presentation of each student's work requires the development of an interactive DVD.
Students use programs such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks and Flash; and multimedia authoring and video editing tools such as Adobe Premiere, Macromedia Director, and Final Cut Pro. They work on state-of-the-art AVID workstations and use 3-D graphics tools such as Cinema 4D and 3D StudioMax.
Throughout the program, students work closely with mentors who provide guidance and individualized attention. Work is evaluated on the basis of performance competencies and project portfolios, giving a professional focus to student work.
A required internship enables students to gain hands-on experience while building connections with working professionals in the region's rapidly growing multimedia industry. Students have interned in recent years at ABC Television, Disney, Paradox Development, Visual Eyes, Fox Sports West, Harlan West Studio, Maxon, and iVative.

A. To Remove Fresh Paint: 1. Blot spilled or unwanted fresh paint with clean cloths or paper towels. DO NOT WIPE THE PAINT. THIS WILL DRIVE THE PAINT INTO THE SURFACE. 2. Scrub the surface immediately with scouring powder and clean, clear water to remove as much of the stain as possible. 3. If staining remains, wait several days and then treat like cured paint (below). B. To Remove Cured Paint, Enamel, Lacquer or Oil-Based Varnish: 1. Remove as much of loose coating as possible by brushing with a stiff (non-metallic) bristle brush. 2. Formula 1: Mix 10 parts methyl acetone, 25 parts benzene, 18 parts denatured alcohol and 8 parts ethylene dichloride. -OR- Formula 2: Mix a solution of 2.5 pounds sodium hydroxide in 1 gallon of hot water (this can be used in a poultice or applied to the surface by brush). -OR- Use a commercial paint remover. 3. Thoroughly wet the concrete surface to be treated with clean, clear water. 4. Apply the mixture to the stained area using a wood or plastic spatula and allow to dry (approximately 20-30 minutes). Be sure to spread the poultice well beyond the stained area. The liquid portion of the paste will migrate into the concrete where it will dissolve some of the staining material. Then the liquid will gradually move back beyond the concrete surface and into the poultice, where it will evaporate, leaving the dissolved staining material in the poultice. 5. When the poultice has dried, brush or scrape it off with a wooden scraper. 6. Thoroughly rinse the area with clean, clear water and allow to dry. 7. Repeat the process as necessary to achieve the desired level of cleanliness. C. To Remove Shellac: 1. Remove as much of loose coating as possible by brushing with a stiff (non-metallic) bristle brush. 2. Mix wood alcohol or denatured alcohol with diatomaceous earth or talc to form a thick paste. 3. Follow poulticing procedures in Section 3.02 B.3-7 above. 4. If a residue remains, scrub the area with scouring powder, rinse with clean, clear water and allow to dry. 5. If there is staining below the surface: a. Mix 1 part hydrochloric acid with 9 to 19 parts of water. -OR- Mix 1 part phosphoric acid in 9 parts of water. b. Wash the surface with the solution using a stiff (non-metallic) bristle brush. c. Thoroughly rinse the surface with clean, clear water and allow to dry. D. To Remove More Difficult Coatings (such as old, dried paint): 1. Remove as much of loose coating as possible by brushing with a stiff non-metallic bristle brush. 2. Mix 1 part concentrated muriatic acid, 4 parts water and 1 part detergent. 3. Apply mixture to the surface and scrub with a stiff (non-metallic) bristle brush. 4. Thoroughly rinse the surface with clean, clear water and allow to dry. 5. Repeat as necessary to achieve the desired level of cleanliness. END OF SECTION |

Digital City 67: No joy in Jet-ville (podcast)
There is no joy in Jet-ville, as Scott aptly demonstrates. Sure, he's still wearing his Jets jersey and hat, but a brave face can't hide the pain. Of course, he points out that he'd still rather attend a game in-person (even int he cheap seats), than watch it in HD 3D at home.
We also delve deep on the latest Apple tablet rumors, going over operating systems, network connections, and even the perfect tablet price. Check back Wednesday to see how accurate our guesses were.

He had a minor health scare in 2007, when doctors were worried he might have colon cancer. Brown spent about six weeks waiting on test results. When the tests came back negative, he decided it was time to start checking some things off his bucket list.
He'd long wanted to jump from the New River Gorge Bridge but was worried he could not achieve the required 200 skydiving jumps needed before he could become a BASE jumper.
"I didn't think I would be able to get enough jumps in before I got too old," he said.
Thanks to Kissner, Brown got his chance. He and his guide, Mark Kruse, were the first jumpers off the platform at last year's Bridge Day.
He said he second-guessed his decision when he was standing on the jump platform watching the New River rush by, just 870 feet below. But Kruse said "Ready, set, Bridge Day," and off the platform they went.
Brown was wearing a helmet camera during the jump. When he watched the video later, he noticed only 1.1 seconds passed from the time he left the bridge to the time the parachute deployed.
"It feels like minutes," he said.
The entire jump lasted around one minute and ten seconds. Brown and Kruse landed in the New River about three feet from shore, safe and sound.
Though Brown said almost everyone he knew tried to talk him out of the jump, he'd love to do it again.
"It's a very intense sensation. You accept the consequences, and life's everyday problems don't seem so bad. For that brief moment, everything is right in the world," he said.
Kissner realizes there aren't many people like Brown, thrill-seekers who dream of jumping off bridges, so he has no allusions that tandem BASE-jumping will become "the next big thing." He said he will consider TandemBASE a success if the company does a few hundred jumps each year.
"Most people don't even know what BASE jumping is. This is not a business we started thinking we're going to make millions of dollars off of. It's not a big sport," he said.
So it's a good thing Kissner isn't just doing it for the money.
"We're spreading a lot of joy in the world," he said. "When people say, 'This is the best thing I've ever done, I'll never forget this,' there's a lot to be said for being a part of something that's that important for people."
