The Nutcracker
The National Ballet's sumptuous, comical, touching and spellbinding version of E.T.A. Hoffmann's Christmas tale was created in 1995 and has been enthralling audiences – especially children – ever since. It is a refreshingly traditional version of the story, replete with the details of childhood dreams and the appeal of fantasy, a ballet gloriously designed and costumed and brimming with affection for and insight into the passage from childhood to maturity that all children make.
Re-setting the story to Imperial Russia, with its simple folk customs and its overwhelming opulence, choreographer James Kudelka allows full rein to both his instincts for everyday beauty and dazzling spectacle, for natural wonder and dreamlike astonishment, all conveyed in an array of breathtaking choreography. The entire production is a glittering, enchanting gem of a ballet, a work that is at once deeply familiar and forever new.

The Little Mermaid
Toronto is awash with excitement in light of news that Ross Petty Productions has announced that the 18th annual holiday pantomime at the Elgin Theatre will be THE LITTLE MERMAID, running November 22, 2013 – January 4, 2014. Petty is leaving behind the Brothers Grimm and entering Hans Christian Andersen territory through this classic story, but with a Petty pivot – his first-ever foray into the fishy fairy tale where anyFIN goes!
Currently starring as the title role in Evangeline at The Charlottetown Festival, musical theatre power house Chilina Kennedy will star as the Little Mermaid, bringing forth an impressive resume of stage work and critical acclaim that includes her role as Mary Magdalene in the Stratford to Broadway production of Jesus Christ Superstar. With an aquatic collection of friends by her side, the title character's quest for true love and happiness is aided by Dan Chameroy's sea-lacious Dame Plumbum, returning to the Elgin stage with his perennial persona as the Little Mermaid's aunt. Starring opposite Kennedy as the handsome Prince, and the buoy of her dreams, is actor and Canadian Idol Season 1 finalist, Marc Devigne.

In all cases the colours are not the same especially red. Lightroom to Photoshop the photo is brighter.. Then from Photoshop to print the red is a different shade e.g. medium red become a more crimson red. Lightroom and Photoshop same computer same display.. (basically the same for all colours even B&W shades are different)
All programs have the latest updates
Would like to know how to calibrate the colours from each program and printers to be the same?

The MFA in Visual Arts Low-Residency program provides an ideal opportunity for artists, teachers, and other professionals in related fields who are seeking advancement in visual arts.
The 60-credit Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Visual Arts program is designed to be completed in two years and comprises five 10-day residencies separated by four, approximately six-month semesters of off-site independent creative work and study.
Student Work from the Class of 2014
The interdisciplinary focus of the MFA in Visual Arts program encourages students to explore the integration of a variety of visual arts media. Students advance their study of art history, culture and critical thinking through the rigorous academic components of the program.
Our program, led by Judith Barry, is distinguished by its prominent faculty, distinguished visiting artists, and brand new facilities being built in Cambridge, MA.
Joan Jonas, representing the United States at the 2015 Venice Biennale;
Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Director, dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel, Germany (ranked #1, ArtReview 2012 Power 100)
Accredited by both NEASC and NASAD, the MFA in Visual Arts program allows students, with the guidance of our internationally known faculty and mentors, to design their own curriculum each semester.
The ten-day residencies are very structured and high intensity conversations about the production of visual art. The combination of critiques, seminars, lectures, panels, conversations and advisor meetings during the residency are designed with the aim of aiding the student in his or her development into a stronger visual artist.
Lectures and seminars are presented by MFA Faculty and visiting artists. The residencies provides an opportunity for each student to develop, expand, and question their artistic vision in a process that culminates in a work plan for the semester that takes place off-site between residencies.
In 2015, the location of the MFA in Visual Arts residency will be moved from its present Boston location to the new Lunder Arts Center in Cambridge.

In 'Morgens steh' ich auf und frage' Heine frets while Schumann dreams wistfully—and sleepwalks on tiptoe. Reverie gives way to feverish expectancy in 'Es treibt mich hin', where the mounting impatience of the singer's final phrase (an echo, perhaps, of 'Der Jäger' from Schubert's Die schöne Müllerin) continues through the syncopated postlude. Introspection returns in 'Ich wandelte unter den Bäumen', where the birds' reply to the poet's melancholy questioning is signalled by a dip to a remote and unreal-sounding new key. In 'Lieb Liebchen, leg's Händchen' the lover grimly equates his heartbeat—depicted in the piano's offbeat chords—with the hammering of his coffin-maker. The mention of the carpenter provokes an ominous modulation, while the voice hesitates an instant before pronouncing the dread word 'Totensarg'—coffin—a tiny but devastating dramatic stroke.
The next two songs form the cycle's anguished central climax. Heine's 'Schöne Wiege meiner Leiden', with its cradle/ grave antithesis, is an ironic, embittered farewell to Hamburg, the city of the poet's doomed affair with his cousin Amalia. The image of the cradle is a cue for a ravishing, rocking lovesong—one of the great Schumann tunes. As elsewhere in the Liederkreis, the composer initially softens and sweetens the poet's bitterness; but at the song's centre the distorted harmonies and dislocated rhythms suggest a mind tottering on the edge of madness. 'Warte, warte, wilder Schiffmann', with its pounding keyboard octaves, astringent harmonies and frenetic vocal line, is perhaps Schumann's most violent song, matching Heine's hysterical vehemence and, for once, his taunting self-mockery. Relief comes with the smiling, sunlit barcarolle, 'Berg' und Burgen schaun herunter', though by retaining the same undulating melody for the final verse Schumann here glosses over the deceit and treachery evoked in the poem. While Heine suffers, Schumann again seems to be dreaming of his beloved Clara. The weary, stoical 'Anfangs wollt' ich fast verzagen', based on a Lutheran chorale that Bach used in several cantatas, is in effect an introduction to the final 'Mit Myrthen und Rosen'. Here Schumann's surprisingly optimistic response to Heine's desolate lines is soon shadowed by chromatic harmonies; then, at the vision of the future, the music quickens and quivers with expectancy before dissolving into nostalgic reverie. A happy ending or a sad delusion? Schumann's palpitating, elusive music keeps us guessing, as it did in the cycle's very first song.

Time-of-use (TOU) pricing might seem like the ultimate solution to ensure electric vehicle charging loads won't overburden the grid. But will TOU rates guide drivers' behavior when it's time to...
Plugging In
Can the grid handle the coming electric vehicle load?
vehicles, so they probably will be attractive to only a limited segment of drivers. These may be the same drivers that currently favor more fuel-efficient vehicles (including HEVs) and whose driving patterns reflect a high proportion of urban travel. While this factor might complicate the estimation of gasoline savings from PEV penetration ( i.e., because PEVs might tend to replace fuel-efficient conventional vehicles), it does suggest a distinct geographic pattern of initial PEV concentration—largely in urban areas on the East and West coasts. However, PEVs might be embraced for reasons beyond a strict cost advantage, and supportive public policies coupled with innovative designs and effective marketing could help to broaden their appeal.
DOE's Energy Information Administration (EIA) has estimated that the annual sales of PEVs will grow to almost 140,000 vehicles by 2015, and 400,000 vehicles by 2030, supported by tax credits enacted in 2008—currently $2,500 per vehicle, plus $417 per kWh of battery capacity in excess of 5 kWh. An MIT report assumes plug-in hybrids will account for 2-3 percent of new vehicle sales by 2020, and 10 percent by 2030. 5 A much more optimistic scenario developed by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) assumes 35 percent for 2020, and 50 percent for 2030. 6 Of course, for a new technology with adoption rates ramping up, its share of the overall vehicle fleet will be considerably lower than its share of new vehicle sales, because the fleet is only gradually replaced by new vehicles.
The National Research Council released a study that projected a "maximum practical" overall fleet penetration of PHEVs of about 13 percent by 2030, with a "more probable" penetration of less than 5 percent by that time. 7 The ISO/RTO Council's March 2010 report estimates 1 million PEVs will be sold within five to 10 years, also concluding that early adoption would cluster in urban centers. The faster trajectory leads to a total of about 2.5 million vehicles by 2020—about 1 percent of the light duty vehicle fleet, though with a fair amount of geographic concentration that could mean a larger impact in some areas.
Overall, the market penetration of PEVs likely will be limited to a few percent of new vehicle sales over the next decade, and a smaller share of the vehicle fleet. If some of the barriers to PEV adoption can be overcome quickly, and consumer acceptance is high, it appears possible, albeit very optimistic, that PEVs might achieve as much as a 20-percent share of new vehicle sales and 5 percent of the vehicle fleet in some urban regions by 2020, potentially growing more quickly thereafter. But there are potential grid implications of this optimistic level of PEV penetration over the next decade.
Impact on the Grid
A study by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory showed that up to 84 percent of U.S. cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs theoretically could be converted to plug-in hybrids without requiring additional electric infrastructure ( i.e., by charging vehicles only at off-peak times to utilize electric generating capacity that's otherwise idle). 8 However, it's unlikely that

I've seen installs at the BLAG meets where some odd hardware is detected and the right components are installed for them. Think it was the "multiverse" repo that had binaries for proprietary drivers.

Ubuntu Feisty is hog-heaven if you aren't adverse to proprietary stuff. I set it up on a friend's Vista Core Duo Thinkpad. Vista barfed at repartitioning its own disk (though that is the recommended dual boot procedure, since MS has hockeyed around with NTFS so most Linux partitioners can't handle it). Feisty handled it with aplomb. It recognized the proprietary ATI X1300 and Intel wireless and just grabbed the drivers. Every time I pointed it at a different format it just downloaded the drivers, no muss or fuss, Flash, MOV, MP3, FLV, WMV, others (however it didn't find libdvdcss if you wanted to watch commercial DVDs, those you had to dig up for yourself). WPA-PSK worked out of the box (I remember having to futz with wpa_supplicant conf files as recently as Edgy). Beryl worked. It even mounted FSTAB Samba shares at boot even though he had to plug in his Wallet PW phrase to activate his wireless ethernet connection.
By comparison, Vista seemed crude, networking was a PITA, the graphics looked crappy, it was slow, it even froze solid once when Firefox tried to save a file to its application directory. I couldn't wait to boot back in the Feisty.
I've been playing with Ubuntu ever since Warty Warthog, 4.10, and frankly, I never found it very compelling, but I've got to say, I am VERY impressed with Feisty (not that it didn't display a few quirks and gotchas on both the other machines I installed it on, upgrading my previously Hoary Hedgehog Kubuntu and another fresh install for another friend).

Are you still watching movies on an old TV and wishing for an upgrade? Once you've seen a true big screen—projector and projection screen—it's tough to go back. This homeowner went from the small time to the big time for the transformation of this dedicated home theater room, courtesy of custom electronics pro Home Systems in Pompton Plains, N.J.
The big move included going from an obsolete large big-box TV and basic stereo system to a 45x80-inch Da-Lite 16:9 fixed screen and ceiling-mounted InFocus 777 3-chip DLP projector, enhanced with a DVDO VP-50PRO video processor.
The audio system also received a major makeover, as stereo was replaced by a Denon surround receiver and full-throttle Triad Speakers Silver model system. DVD, high-def cable, gaming consoles and even VCR are among the sources handled by the system.
And to spruce up the viewing environment, this wasn't going to be just a lounge and screen area. Cabinetry, trim and proper seating all play a part in turning this room into a true dedicated home cinema.
"The construction project entailed taking this area and trimming and rebuilding the interior for a more cozy atmosphere. Theater system electronics needed to be added with good performance and reasonable cost as system parameters," says Home Systems' Ron Roslasky. "We worked with our woodworking team for the cabinets. Custom Interior wall panels were fitted between decorative cherry wood columns and Triad speakers were fitted on the wall panels. Dual rows of seats were installed on risers for optimal viewing sight lines. Acoustic Smart theater lounge seating was used on the project."
System control was simplified by using a Crestron MC2W media processor with an ST-1700C color touchpanel. Six zones of room lights were set up using a Lutron Grafik Eye lighting control.

practice makes perfect man. Every time I dps with a new tank in a pug I learn new things so if that is an option try that as well.
I wouldn't get offended. For me to ask for help, then get offended because of an answer would be ridiculous.1. your gear does need improvement as was stated before. I will not insult you by telling you what needs to be improved now.
As for the gear, I am aware. I'm lvling my BS to craft better equipment and be able to socket my glove and bracers.
I am learning the fights. Some before hand, others as I go. (I'm a "hands-on-learner). I think where I've hindered myself is "quest leveling" and not mixing in many instance runs.A great tank learns how to keep others from failing by using the fight mechanics to make the fight easier for everyone else. ie keeping the boss from the bodies reduces the healing the pally has to do on you and the dps, thus increasing the chance for success.
I am getting better though.
I've taken my failed H DTK run as an eyeopener and have begun to read more about additional instances, bosses, encounters and tactics. I think my "lazy, brute-force" tactics is what hurt me the most and I'm set on not doing that again.It is too low to run heroics by brute-forcing them an ignoring tactics.
I am open to any suggestions. Like add-ons, guides, and wheter or not my build could be better. (I might as well ask while I can)
Thanks again for the help.

My Fury Cata raid videos
Your gear was/is fine for H DTK (King Dred might be a little tough), but you're running into the problem of players getting used to running dungeons with over geared toons. Players forget that there are still new people out there who want to learn and the only way to learn is to do.
Also, the fact that the group moaned about a DK tank, leads me to believe that they were newbies themselves and pretty clueless about tanking. They probably read some post somewhere and are now experts.
Keep at it. When you fall off a horse then best thing you can do is get right back on.
Yeah, I don't know why they'd bemoan a DK tank...my GL just got his alt DK to 80, and his threat and DPS is already darn good, as tank! He keeps asking me how he's doing, and I'm trying to help, although it's very amusing, for me, to hear him talk about the difference in perspective (he's usually a druid healer). Point is, although it may be true, to some extent, that the profusion of DKs in the game means lots of players who don't know the class, it's stupid to assume that a good player won't learn, and bring skills to any class they choose to play.
As far as pugs, keep an open mind, but don't take any of the comments to heart. I made that mistake a couple of times, and it seriously messed up my confidence. Now, I just shrug and move on...
And, as for worrying about wipes, and being responsible for everyone's repairs...yes, it's good to keep that in mind, but, really, 10, 20, or even 50 gold is not really much, for anyone who'd rolling a level 80...that's like ten or fifteen minutes of dailies!
I hate that hurry, hurry, let's get through this instance for badges crap...even though I can do that, at least in several of the dungeons, now, I much prefer just getting the job done, and having fun...and, I never give up trying to learn something from each encounter, or trying a new strategy.
One last thing, to keep in mind...every time one runs an instance, something can go wrong...the server bugs, someone gets d/e...it's just enough different, to make it interesting...that's where a tank can really shine...adaptation to the real time event!
Last night, my healer got snake-wrapped, in Gundrak...everyone was dying, the boss was chewing into me--even though I thought it was a wipe, I popped my trinks, pots, last stand, etc., and I outlasted him! Moments like that make it all worthwhile! I even sliced the snakes off, and used my "goblin jumper cables" on my healer, to rez him!
...and, they worked!! (hee, hee...one out of every 10 times, or so...)
-"Just like a buzzin' fly, I come into your life, I'll float away, like honey in the sun..."--Tim Buckley
Something an old "vanilla tank turned healer" told me a while back and I've used the logic ever since....
If you did not drink a potion, smack a lock rock and pop every life sustaining CD before you died, it is your fault.
I would die sometimes with last stand or shield wall still available...i'd be a little pissed...want to tell the healers they sucked...but the bottom line....I am watching my incoming dmg, the healers are obviously behind...so pop a cd so they can catch up....
and I let them know so there is no question...."last stand burned" "Shield wall gone"...."popped my potion"..."no more lock rock"...."enraged regen gone"...Now I've done everything I can to stay alive...
NOW I can tell the healers they suck!
There is nothing wrong with your gear starting heroics....I was there last year.
The problem:
You just could not carry the suck-tards that you grouped with. You out dps'ed the thunderturkey and the SP....your group sucked....they were not adult enough to know they sucked...so they blamed you. The pally was probably a FoL one button healing jackleg who could not switch gears when damage started to overwhelm his meager abilities.
As you can see, stuff like this kinda pisses me off. My advice, get a guild and stop PUGGING!
It's not just DK's suffering this problem it's new tanks in general I have a friend gearing a warrior tank he is at 25K HP he knows his stuff and he gets whines about his HP.
The mentality of pugs they are used to seeing x HP on a tank if they dont see it they assume the tank is no good. X atm is around 34K because if you put all the conq badge gear on thats what you end up at.
As people said however at these HP's you cant brute force stuff you have to know the instances and bosses just like we all did when starting out.
The other choice unfortunately is run as a DPS and pick up the gear offspec with all the 34K tanks out there they usually want nothing from a heroic. Initially go for the easy heroics where dps isnt an issue like h-nexx, h-uk, h-vh or ones that your aoe works well in h-cos etc so even if your dps is low it wont matter. Grab the 19 badge gear first and hopefully get a few drops and it should boost your HP up enuf to not get comment.
** Remember Warcraft players fail in directions you never thought possible.
If you did not drink a potion, smack a lock rock and pop every life sustaining CD before you died, it is your fault.
I have a panic button that I macroed to pop Icebound Fortitude, Unbreakable Armor and A Pot. When my health hits 25% and there seems to be no help in sight, I tap my panic button and keep plowing away.
34K on the lower heroics is like taking a gun to a knife fight.The mentality of pugs they are used to seeing x HP on a tank if they dont see it they assume the tank is no good. X atm is around 34K because if you put all the conq badge gear on thats what you end up at.
I've been tanking for several years now, and I just started healing recently. I've found that when a tank has 23k hp, I can heal them and be successful, but there is a lot more pressure on the whole group. As someone said earlier, 23k isn't too low to tank heroics, but it is too low to brute force your way through, which is the common method for running heroics anymore. I can't remember the last time I saw any tank, myself included, wait for the lightning debuff to fall off the first boss in H HoL, for example. I also rarely see tanks run out of the Lightning Ring on the last boss in H HoS. I'm not saying you can't tank those with 23k HP, but you need to be much smarter about how to do it.
If the healer dies, in most cases, yes its the tanks fault. HOWEVER there is also lots of things healers can do to get themselves killed. DoTs, AOE and stupid bodypulls to mention some.
If the tank dies, its the healers fault unless the tank puts himself/herself in stupid places, overpulls or find other ways to get owned.
If the DPS dies theres actually 4 options; The DPS is being stupid, the tank is not doing his job, the healer is not doing his job or a combination of the previous two.
Thats why I let stupid DPS know that if they aggro something I havent already or dont let me get in some threat before they start nuking Im not running all over the instance to save their asses - which of course are running AWAY from the tank - and their on their own..
Early in wotlk I was told I wasnt geared to tank heroics while I was already clearing naxx on a regular basis.
The fun parts is still the days where you do pug heroics and get flamed from stormwind to orgimmar in one group and get told in the next that youre doing great - by some of the "best" raiders on the server..
Shortly after my (failed) DTK run, I did H VH and HGun and was told I did a f**kin awesome job. We didn't wipe at all. The only bit of advice I got was "Get to the portals quicker" in H VH. which is much better than "OMGWTF!!!1! Lame. Newb Tank".
I am greatful for all the advice I've gotten here @ TS. Even if my gear hasn't gotten much better, my skills have.....which will save my (and my group's) ass more often than a shiny purple sword.
I was tanking H DTK with 18.5k HP, so the next person that says you can't do it might as well stay silent. Yes, I'm in nerd rage mode. Deal with it. lol
Trollgore fight: I tank him about the middle of the stairs, and when he murks the little troll adds, I'll drag him away a bit. That 10k bashing you take from Corpse Explosion will end your day fast. Other than a little kiting, he's straight tank and spank. Use your cooldowns right, and you'll be fine.
King Dred: Kill everything you can before you pull him, and take a PVP trinket along. He fears, mangles, shrinks you.. it's nasty but again, IF YOU USE YOUR COOLDOWNS, you'll be fine. Oh, and he has adds to boot. One of the toughest bosses in heroics in my opinion/experience.
Thron'ja: If you die here.. lol. Seriously. If I had a weak or distracted healer, I alternate taunt, shield, and heal until I get my skin back. If my healer was on their thing, replace heal with attack.
H DTK is, in my opinion, the easiest heroic in the game. With around 1500 DPS out of everyone, the fights will run pretty long, but providing your healer has a decent mana pool and you know your cooldowns, you'll do great. The higher the DPS, the better your chances. Also, having a healer that will let a low DPS die to keep you afloat is a major asset. As you stated in your original post: "If the DPS dies, it's their own fault." Also, if you find that the healer was off getting another soda midfight or something, Death Pact is your friend!! Bring ol' Dirt thief out to play, let him get in a few hits, and burn him for a quick lifesaver. Yeah, it's a frost strike worth of RP, but would you rather get blamed by egotistical pugs for a wipe, or live to save the day? Also, DK tanks feel really squishy when they're getting geared. It's discouraging, but it goes away. My last, and final point is this: Assume that pugs will ALWAYS make things 300% harder than they should be. If you can prepare for that, you can prepare for bloody near anything.
Nerd rage over.
...Thoughts of a philosophical Death Knight...
If death is the inevitable end of life, is life the inevitable end of undeath?
like Hades said, he has tanked it with 18.5k hp... i believe i've done so too when i first hit 80... and mind you, i have always ensured that i was enchanted... although it might not always be to increase my hp pool...
I guess what i'm rather sad (and a little disgusted) to see is that the posters here are beginning to sound very much like the pugs who don't really know better and expect to be carried... aren't we supposed to be helping tanks alike on what they can and can't do realistically?? aren't we supposed to encourage those who value progression instead of "let's just skip content and farm reg ToC so I can muscle through HC and forget what real tanking is about"??
sorry if i sound offensive, but i seriously think that many people value the opinions provided in tankspot... and if we just keep confirming the 'easy' way out for people, then every minimum HC content will require DPS who can put out 2 to 2.5k, a tank who has atleast 25k hp... and heals who has atlest 20k mana and is capable of spamming heals... this imho is not skills (and from my previous impression of what tankspot stands for... is not what tankspot wants too)...
But yeah, if you're dying to the first boss in H DTK with 23k hp, it probably is the healer's fault.
I've thought about it a little more, and gotten past the kneejerk defensive response. I think your comment has a lot of merit, and the "HP requirement" rhetoric should be toned down. I still think that an 18k tank in a heroic is just silly, but at 23k you'll be alright if you're healer is awake and reasonable.
18-20k was where we WAS when the first tanks went into the northrend heroics and we made it through. It was how we needed to gear ourselves in the beginning of wotlk, remember?
People are just getting lazy and want to faceroll everything because blizz is making it way to easy to do so and thats starting to become a problem for people whos just dinging 80. People expect them to have way inflated gear to even allow them into the heroics they need to improve their gear and when they cant get into the groups, they cant get the gear either. That means their guild have to carry them and puging end up not being an option..
King Dread's bleed is more of a challenge to the healer and DPS than the tank imo. Sure you can pop CD's and survive a bit better for 20s but if the healer is not capable or the DPS is too low the bleed damage becomes overwhelming. I think it would be wiser to save CD's until later in the fight when the real pressure comes into play. Mangling Slash, Grevious Bite and Peircing Slash chain together to make him a power house. Positioning is important as well, as you want to do everything you can to ensure your healer is a max range so they avoid the fear from Bellowing Roar.
I still consider Xevozz the mage in H VH far more deadly due to the fact that if your DPS are in the wrong place at the wrong time (as they always seem to be when the fight involves moving) theres massive spike damage on everyone, a situation far more difficult to heal through than if the damage is focused on the tank alone. I wouldnt ask even a good healer to have to put up with this for longer than a few seconds before letting some DPS die to save the tank.
it was just my personal opinion anyway... on another note, I also think that us at tankspot giving opinions about how the group should have functioned as opposed to how it functioned during the wipe to be invaluable...
this would help new tanks who are trying to learn the ropes at getting a better feel of how group composition, coordination as well as positioning would help... that imho (again) is another trait that makes a good tank... i.e. tanking at the right spot, turning mobs who does a frontal AOE attack, or even getting out of 'Pound' from Anub'arak in AN
Your correct, but the melee swings can be mitigated through armour and avoidance, the bleed damage can not. If the DPS are under-performing, popping your shield wall when the bleed damage begins to get uncontrolable will buy you precious seconds to live. I am assuming that as a tank you are already doing what you can to minimise the damage you take, this should involve holy shield, shield block, sacred shield etc. etc.
My position is that popping your shield wall at the start of the fight as someone previously suggested, is not the smartest thing to do, as it wont be available for when you really need it.

UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin sat down recently with CNN's correspondent, Aisha Sesay, to talk about his work promoting health and equal opportunity around the world.
In the interview, Nigerian-born Dr. Osotimehin talks about his long career caring for women, first as a local doctor from Ogun State and later as Minister of Health for Nigeria. He speaks about the experiences that qualified him for his current position, the ways in which meeting with women around the world has been "a humbling experience," and the difficulties of addressing HIV in conservative societies. He also reflects about how his mother's strength influenced him.
The interview was shown last week on CNN International's "African Voices" programme. Excerpts can be viewed here:

I am writing the life story of my great grand uncle, Michael Kokoska. In the opening paragraphs I added the fact his parents were immigrants, on what ship they sailed in 1880, and what class of passenger they were. His parents were listed as Cabin Class. That fact came as a shock and kind of unbelievable to me because my side of the family is all Bohemian, and immigrated as poorer people, traveling in Steerage. I stumbled upon the Cabin Class while looking at their ship log in greater detail.
Because this fact shocked me, I did a little research on their ship, the Frisia. This further research indicated the capacity for 1st class passengers was 90 passengers, 2nd class was 130 passengers, and 3rd class was 600 passengers. According to the ship log, there were 190 passengers classified as Steerage Passengers. The remaining 610 passengers were classified as Cabin Passengers. With the above numbers in mind, the log should have read Cabin Passengers for the first 190 passengers recorded and Steerage Passengers for the last 610 passengers recorded
What did I learn from this unbelievable fact? If a fact stands out as a bit shocking and unbelievable, it is worth the effort to research more details about it to ensure what you are seeing is either correct or incorrect.

[QUOTE=Alkrotraz;4494532]scariest thing I saw was when I was like 7. Had a crazy lady who lived two buildings over in the bronx. She committed suicide by diving headfirst from her six floor apt by jumping through the glass window. She came down headfirst yelling with no hands out. Her head hit the sidewalk and sounded like a bowling ball exploding when we looked her broken head was on her back. She had a big circle of blood draining from her that was whiteish on the outside as all the fluids drained out of her. They took away the body and the janitor came out with a mop and mop up this disgusting mess.
I have seen car accidents and stuff. But this was gross. Plus it was around 4pm on a weekday when all the kids are hanging out in street so everyone saw and heard it.[/QUOTE]
Great thread, Warfish. :rolleyes:

my friends who use windoze [and i know you have access to that ;-)] say
is good for this kind of purpose. i am unaware of a free gnu/linux solution to this problem.

I was just thinkiing about that. One of the free software "conversions" I made was to move from a java based palmdoc converter to kpalmdoc (which, the more I use it, the less I like it). I'm using it to convert text files so that I can read them on my pda. But of course the pda and the software on it is totally proprietary and commercial. I don't think there are any alternatives out there. So I think at least at this stage free software "sainthood" is illusory.

Well, my experience with sainthood didn't last long. I reinstalled java so that I could have MakeDocJ back. Kpalmdoc had the irritating tendency to change all punctuation marks into question marks.

Doesn't look like to ogg vorbis though:
[stevo32@localhost smb]$ mencoder -oac help
Available codecs:
copy - frame copy, without re-encoding (useful for AC3)
pcm - uncompressed PCM audio
mp3lame - cbr/abr/vbr MP3 using libmp3lame
lavc - FFmpeg audio encoder (MP2, AC3, ...)
Personally, I'd just convert it to pcm then encode with oggenc.

I may be alone here, but in my opinion, anything on the net that does't require you to put in a credit car number should be free. for myself, I learned ling ago how to make sharware into freeware, and now with Linux, which is tring it's best to bring about the downfall of the Microsoft Giant Windows....it's free and can be, with few exceptions, and all of the RPMS I have seen are all free too. Perhaps I am a rebel, but I'm a poor rebel, so anything that I can download is mine. Anyone agree?

One of the hazards of "free" is that it has many meanings. Freeware isn't free software. In the latter case free means free as in "free speach" not "free beer". Freeware is cost free but you agree to a license that commits you legally to certain things. Free software is licensed under the GPL or similar licenses that allow you too view and change the source code, use it any way you want, and give a copy of it to your neighbor. Some of us feel that all software should be free software and that's why we choose distros like Blag or gNewSense, because they are commited to including only free software.
Don't get me wrong, there are other reasons for choosing Blag also. It's a great distro. And you are free to use non-free software with it. But you won't find them in the cd or the blag repositories.
BTW, I started this thread and my first post was an attempt to justify using non-free software occasionally. My opinion has "evolved" since then.

(AP) - STEEP FALL: Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell sharply this week, keeping home-buying and refinancing attractive.
THE NUMBERS: The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 3.43 percent from 3.54 percent last week. That's near the record low of 3.31 percent. The average on the 15-year loan dipped to 2.65 percent from 2.74 percent, and just above the record 2.63 percent.
HOUSING RECOVERY: Low mortgage rates are helping sustain a housing recovery that began last year. Home sales and residential construction are up, prices are rising and more Americans are refinancing. That's helped the broader economy.

Capacity Contest
Raising the stakes in RTO markets.
heating up.
Long and Short
Duke and FirstEnergy weren't the first utilities in the Midwest region to pick PJM over MISO. American Electric Power (AEP) led the way in 2004—three years before PJM introduced its capacity auction, known as the Reliability Pricing Model (RPM). Although all three companies cited a varied list of technical and geographic reasons behind their decisions, conventional wisdom—and the FERC chairman—suggests they were attracted first and foremost by the economic advantages of selling their power in PJM instead of MISO (see Figure 1) .
Capacity is more valuable in PJM for a complex set of reasons, some of which date back to the original makeup of MISO, which became the first FERC-approved RTO in 2001.
Historically, PJM and MISO have been distinguished by rather different market and regulatory conditions. PJM is dominated by deregulated states, with many unbundled utility holding companies selling electricity and power capacity on an unregulated wholesale basis—and with electricity retailers and load-serving entities (LSE) procuring supplies at wholesale. MISO, on the other hand, is comprised primarily of states that never unbundled their vertically integrated utilities. Most such utilities bring their own power resources to the market, or they get it through bilateral contracts with third-party generators or their own affiliates.
"Traditionally the Midwest ISO has been a bilateral market," Hillman says. "Bilateral contracts have provided the mechanism for capacity trading in the Midwest, although it hasn't necessarily been a fully transparent, cleared market. That's neither right nor wrong. It's just the way it's been done" (see Figure 2) .
Another important difference between the two markets is that PJM contains sprawling urban load centers in locations like New Jersey, Maryland and the District of Columbia. By contrast, most of MISO's biggest load centers, such as St. Louis and Minneapolis-St. Paul, are somewhat smaller than those in PJM, and are separated by large tracts of wind-swept farmland. In fact, the biggest city in the geographic Midwest—Chicago—resides in the territory of PJM member Exelon.
These distinctions are made all the more important by one other fact: the Midwest has more low-cost coal generation, and also increasingly wind power, than PJM does.
Seven years ago, Fortnightly's own Bruce Radford wrote, "Despite [a] complicated picture, one simple fact stands out: most potential savings from AEP joining PJM appear to come not so much from the technical performance of PJM's market structures, but from opening the doors to allow the export of greater volumes of cheaper coal-fired power from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic. A lot of cheap coal-fired power in the Midwest [is] itching to invade PJM, where higher-priced gas-fired power calls the tune" (see "It's Down to Dollars for AEP and PJM," Fortnightly's Spark, February 2004) .
Indeed, capacity constraints and higher prices in the Northeast were the main reasons that compelled PJM, the New York ISO and ISO New England to create capacity markets in the first place—to attract investment in new capacity resources that weren't getting built as fast as reliability planners thought they should, especially in the territories of unbundled utilities. MISO generally hasn't

Ticking Sound Byte

Thanks much 04 FJR Pilot. Hope you get that resolved the first part of next year, at least Yami has a few months to get parts for your machine.
Fortunately for me 7100 miles and no ticky......

My ticker
How am I to broach the subject of Ticking with my dealer? Call up and say I've got a ticker, or ask them to listen to it out in the parking lot next time I ride over to get oil? OR...?
On your signature,
Would that be characteristic x-ray or Bremmstralung?
Posted 10 December 2005 - 06:01 PM
Great news for my wallet as I'm way past warranty.
Now I see why the guy I bought it from was so co-operative after the sale...
at least untill I brought up the ticker issue, he musta known

Bike will be undergoing the 4th breakdown in 7 weeks and it still is not right!
We have an 05 with 17K on it starting to tick, and a bunch of us "ticked off" that eventually we will be addressing the same issue
Curious if the 06's have been cured...

Sorry in advance if it's been covered already, but make sure they get new head bolts.
Also, if you get a chance to watch, please make note and post up about what else would be good to replace 'while you're in there' (radiator hoses, alternator belt , etc.) I'm about to undergo a 26,000 mile checkup myself.

What is the eventual outcome of all this ticking besides a funny noise? Don't mean to be too ignorant but hey mechanics were never my special purpose
The other question I have is how come my brakes last so long. Is it really due to my not using them?
Rough cost of fixing the dreaded tick? Cdn side please
IF I do spend the dough what difference will it make besides resale which I likely will never do anyway.
Hope to make WFO5 but geez us boys from the North might be a bit hot on that FJR eh?

I copied the above from the link posted by APRATT.
What is the feeling here about mileage for development of a tick? My 03 has 25K miles and I believe that it has started ticking over the last couple of thousand miles. DH says I read too much on the Internet, am paranoid and need to get my radio fixed so I can listen to music instead.

Yet, these two sound clips are about the best I've heard of all the attempts to record this sound.
You must listen to the entire sound clip... 04 FJR Pilot let's it idle for the first half of each clip, then revs the motor a little the second half.
On the first file (Tick1), it is 1:06 seconds in duration, and the ticking sounds between 50 secs through 56 secs are really distinct.
But it is the second sound clip (Tick2) that is the best.... it is 53 seconds in duration, you can hear it pretty well the entire time. At ~ 30 seconds, as 04 FJR Pilot moves the microphone closer to cylinder #1, and the sound is UNMISTAKABLE! It is not as "metallic" sounding as it is in person, but there is no denying the ticking anomaly in this sound clip.
Outstanding work, 04 FJR Pilot!!
I have a 05 with 9700 miles on her,, i hear NO ticking,,, is this something that can develope or am i safe...????
is this a wide spread isue in the 05 's ??? or is any year fair game...??
