Product description
The vast empire that Alexander the Great left at his death in 323 BC has few parallels. For the next three hundred years the Greeks controlled a complex of monarchies and city-states that stretched from the Adriatic Sea to India. Walbank's lucid and authoritative history of that Hellenistic world examines political events, describes the different social systems and "mores" of the people under Greek rule, traces important developments in literature and science, and discusses the new religious movements.

Review quote
Walbank's erudition is predictably wide as well as deep, his mastery of the essential documents assured...He is also commendably up-to-date on many vexed questions of interpretation...Walbank is clear and perceptive. -- Peter Green Times Literary Supplement Anyone with an interest in classical civilization would enjoy this...It is the best book [on the subject] available in English. -- Robin Lane Fox Financial Times Walbank's Hellenistic World beautifully recalls for contemporary readers the general and special achievements and features of one of the most remarkable periods in world history. -- John E. Rexine History Together these five compact volumes [Early Greece by Oswyn Murray, Democracy and Classical Greece by J. K. Davies, The Hellenistic World by F. W. Walbank, The Roman Republic by Michael Crawford, The Later Roman Empire by Averil Cameron, all available from Harvard] cover much of the history of the classical world, and do so with both ease and authority...For this new series they have been revised or otherwise brought up to date. Washington Post Book World A concise but comprehensive and authoritative book in English on the Hellenistic world, the world set in motion by Alexander the Great, is indeed most welcome. Walbank was unquestionably well equipped to undertake such a project, and his contribution has been well appreciated. -- Edmund F. Bloedow Bryn Mawr Classical Review

We've bought three area rugs in recent months on Overstock and have been very pleased with them. That being said, I have to say that this rug is shedding horrifically. In just over a week, we've filled a vacuum cleaner bag and clogged our entire vacuum and there doesn't appear to be an immediate end in sight. While it is soft and plush with lovely colors, it's a real disaster to clean up. Also note --- this rug does not have a backing, this is noted in the description but important to remember as you'll need a non-skid mat under if you are on any kind of smooth flooring. It took me months to find a rug that would work in the room --- this one does but it would be far better without the excessive shedding.

But, there is still a question as to the legality of the petitions. Opponents of the measure say some of the petitions fail to meet election code standards.
Assistant City Clerk Wendy Klock-Johnson says the Sacramento City Clerk will decide.
"What will happen next is the County will complete this whole count as requested by the City Clerk and they will transmit a finding of fact of the verification process. And once the clerk has that, she will examine what the information the county has provided and will also examine to make sure the petition is in compliance with the requirements of the election code," Klock-Johnson said.
James Cathcart with STOP admits there are some problems with the petitions but says the problems don't warrant keeping the measure off of the ballot.
A statement from Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson said:
"As the City Clerk has made clear, this is merely a procedural step in part of a longer process. Based on everything we have learned: from the way the initiative was purposefully written to delay the entire project as opposed to a straight up or down vote; to the failure to disclose the chief financial contributor behind the effort; to the fact that the vast majority of the money for this initiative comes from sources opposed to Sacramento; to the issues raised about the nature of the petitions; I have serious concerns about the integrity of the process. Plain and simple - this initiative is a Trojan Horse. For Sacramento, there is a great deal at stake: 4000 jobs, transforming downtown, and keeping the Kings in Sacramento. And given what is at stake, coupled with the troubling questions related to integrity of these ballot petitions, the nature in which they were collected, and the true intent of those who are behind the effort, I believe we should take a hard look at the petitions and consider all of the available options to protect the public."
The Sacramento Kings also issued a statement saying:
"As we have stated in the past, we love Sacramento and are committed to doing all we can to support the City's efforts to develop an entertainment and sports complex that will help revitalize our downtown. The Kings appreciate the support we have received from the community and know that the organization is fortunate to have the best and most loyal fans in all of the NBA. We share the many concerns expressed by the Mayor, The 4000 and others in Sacramento regarding the anti-arena campaign and are prepared to work to support their leadership."
The county still has 715 signatures left to verify. It has until January 28th to complete its task.

Facebook launches iPhone app exclusively for famous people
Facebook launches iPhone app exclusively for famous people
Facebook, vying in a social-media popularity contest among celebrities with Twitter, has released an iPhone app with a velvet rope wrapped around it.
The new Facebook Mentions app is currently only available on Apple iPhones for celebs, athletes, politicians and other public figures with "verified" pages in the U.S. It's designed to encourage famous folk to post more content to Facebook -- and interact directly with their followers.
Unlike the regular Facebook app available to the hoi polloi, Mentions gives high-profile individuals a filtered view of notifications about fan activity, including mentions from other influencers or the media. Other features include the ability to host a live Q&A on their pages from an iPhone, and suggestions on other popular figures to follow.
According to Facebook, there are "tens of thousands" of public figures on the social service. Nearly 800 million of Facebook's users follow celebs and other public figures on the site, and engage in more than 1 billion interactions each week (which includes posts, comments, likes and shares).
"With so many people connected to public figures, it's really hard to manage those interactions," Facebook product manager Allison Swope said. "We realized we could create a way to make that easier."
Swope added that Facebook has implemented a two-step authentication process for Mentions, to reduce the risk a celeb's page could be hijacked by hackers.
Facebook has trailed Twitter in wooing celebs. Twitter introduced its "verified account" program in 2009, while Facebook bowed the similar "verified" initiative to vet identities of high-profile users in May 2013.
Celebs who have tested the Mentions app include pop diva Mariah Carey (20.7 million Facebook followers), singer Austin Mahone (11.3 million), musician Ed Sheeran (7.1 million), Arianna Huffington (1.3 million), Whoopi Goldberg (719,000) and Mike Rowe (1.4 million), host of CNN's upcoming series "Somebody's Gotta Do It" and former host of Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs."
"My fans are so important to me," Mahone said in a statement. "They're the reason why I make music, and I love sharing my life with them. (Facebook) Mentions has made it even easier to keep my fans updated on what's going on in my world, and to respond directly to their posts."
According to Facebook, celebs who have used Mentions produce more than twice as much content per day and interact with other famous people on the site more than twice as much (compared with before they started using the app). Of course, those metrics could partly be because of the novelty factor.
While the app is currently available only in the U.S., Facebook plans to roll it out to more countries in the coming months.

Cavium Teams With Qualcomm To Enhance Wireless Display Experiences For Mobile Devices
TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cavium, Inc (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that enable intelligent processing for networking, communications and digital home applications, today announced a collaboration with Qualcomm to offer a mobile adapter solution based on the industry's emerging Wi-Fi Display standard (now known as Miracast™) and optimized to provide enhanced peer-to-peer connections with Qualcomm's Snapdragon™ platform. As a result of the collaboration, major smartphone and tablet OEMs will have access to a standards-plus wireless display reference solution capable of robust and high-quality video transmissions with simultaneous, full interactivity achieved through optimized video compression and transmission latency. Both Qualcomm and Cavium are committed to providing solutions designed to support Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™, when certification is available, and driving the market adoption of the emerging peer-to-peer technology.
The reference solution consists of a Miracast-enabled mobile adapter featuring Cavium's PureVu™ CNW6611L SoC and Qualcomm Atheros' AR6203X 802.11n dual-band Wi-Fi solution, which is optimized for end-to-end connectivity with Qualcomm's latest-generation mobile platform, which combines the Snapdragon MSM8960 processor and Qualcomm Atheros' WCN3660 802.11n dual-band Wi-Fi chipset. Live demonstrations of the media adapter reference solution and its enhanced Miracast performance with the leading Snapdragon platform for mobile applications are available at the 2012 COMPUTEX TAIPEI show, Jun 5-9.
"The Snapdragon MSM8960 and WCN3660 combination continues to see rapid adoption by major smartphone and tablet OEMs throughout the industry, thanks to Qualcomm's superior processor, cellular and Wi-Fi performance offered in this platform. Support for Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast in this popular solution is proving to be another attractive feature to OEMs," said David Favreau, vice president of product management, Qualcomm Atheros. "Through our Miracast enhancements with Cavium, we expect to shorten the time-to-market for customers wishing to implement mobile peer-to-peer applications, by offering a receive-end reference solution with optimized performance when connecting to the Snapdragon mobile platform."
As the emerging Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast certification program nears Wi-Fi Alliance approval, the mobile industry is gearing up to implement the feature to enable new and exciting capabilities impacting how consumers share, view and generally interact with content using their mobile devices. Whether the consumer is watching a movie, sharing photos, or playing a video game, seamless transfer to the larger TV screen brings about a more enjoyable user experience, which can translate into higher revenue opportunities for the mobile ecosystem. While the forthcoming Miracast standard facilitates the introduction of such features on mainstream mobile devices and ensures interoperability with consumer electronics devices, there are many opportunities for enhancements and differentiation as the standard does not contemplate provisions detailing performance, quality or interactivity requirements. Through their collaboration, Cavium and Qualcomm technical teams have focused on those differentiation opportunities and, while maintaining full compatibility with the standard, have created a path for mobile OEMs to benefit from faster time-to-launch mobile display adapters with an already optimized and proven reference solution.

39 year old man | Louisville, KY, USA | Seeking women 30-45
I'm looking for a fun, outgoing silly girl with a goofy sense of humor.
I'm a camera operator/editor for TV and Films. Something I've always wanted to do since I was 7. I lived in Los Angeles for 8 years working for America's Next Top Model (Still do) but happily back in my hometown of Louisville. The best part of working on that show is that I've travelled all over the USA to every major and minor city and the world (Who else gets to go to Boise, ID and Cape Town, South Africa for work?) I LOVE COOKING!! My dad's Cuban and he taught me well. I make amazing guacamole, turkey burgers and paella! Damn, now I'm hungry. My two favorite movies are BEFORE SUNRISE and BEFORE SUNSET (BEFORE MIDNIGHT opens in May!) so I guess Im a hopeless romantic. Match.com says to mention something unique. A few years ago I gained AND lost 80 lbs. for a feature film I wrote/directed/star in, shot in Louisville, so I guess that's unique. And it shows how dedicated and devoted I am to what I love. My ideal match would be someone who loves to laugh, be goofy, and is outgoing!
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Running, Swimming, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
Middle of the Road
Bluegrass Brewing Company, Havana Rumba, Any sushi place.

I cook almost everyday and love cooking paella, turkey burgers, seafood and guacamole...and now I'm hungry.
I love movies, bike riding through Seneca and Cherokee park, cooking, discovering new restaurants and microbrew beers.

Whether you are an existing or former parishioner living elsewhere these days…or simply 'visiting' us, we are happy to greet you.
It is my privilege, on behalf of our parish family here in Spalding, Lincolnshire, to welcome you to our parish website. We are situated in the Fenlands. The area is well known for its agriculture, producing fine vegetables from the surrounding farms and fields; but the area is probably best known for its annual Tulip Parade – sadly, no more, the town held its last parade last year (2013), but the fields and our churches are still a blaze of colour, and a sight to behold.
The Parish of The Immaculate Conception and Saint Norbert Parish is situated in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nottingham; serving the counties of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland and Lincolnshire, it is the longest diocese in the UK. We belong to the 'Fenland Deanery', created in 2011, serving the parishes of Boston, Holbeach, Skegness, Sleaford, Spilsby and ourselves.
We are a vibrant multi-cultural community, dedicated to continuing the mission of Christ: 'Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit…' (Matthew, 28:19).
We believe that belonging to a faith community like ours can enhance our lives in numerous ways, not least deepening our faith and our relationship with our Lord and with like-minded people. It is impossible to label ourselves as "Christian" and not have affinity to any Christian church. Both Deacon Dennis and myself see our role to nurture the faith of our parish, to enable everyone to grow in their faith, their love of God, and our commitment to each other. We respect the faith of others, and welcome everyone – please accept this invitation to come along and see for yourself!
Every kind wish and blessing,
Fr. Jim Burke
Parish Priest
A History of St Norberts
The first Catholic Church in Spalding was built in 1875. This followed the Catholic Emancipation Bill (1829), when the practice of Catholicism had been repressed here in England. Mr. Thomas Arthur Young (1805-1891), Lord of the Manor of Kingerby, near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire, and a devout Catholic, approached the Bishop of Nottingham (Bishop Robert Bagshaw) wishing to know where churches were most needed in Lincolnshire to serve the growing Catholic communities in the area; and, Mr. Young took it upon himself to encourage and provide the means for the revival of Catholic communities in South Lincolnshire including Spalding, Gainsborough, Crowle and Grimsby.
The site for the new church, on the corner of St. Thomas's Street (as it was then called) and Henrietta Street was purchased in 1874, and at the invitation of Mr. Young the Norbertine Order at Tongerloo Abbey in Belgium came to Spalding and South Lincolnshre to serve what was then known as the 'New Catholic Oratory of the Immaculate Conception and Saint Norbert' which consisted of the church, school and priory.
It is interesting to note that there was still great resistance in the town to the opening of the new Catholic Church, and certain conditions were made – the beautiful church was almost hidden away and remained that way until the brave decision to build a new church. There is a beautiful story that when the decision to proceed with the new build, the photograph of Mr. Young, thought to be the only photograph of him, fell to the ground!
The decision to build the new church was not taken lightly by the Diocese of Nottingham, the priests or the people. It has to be said that there was opposition to the new plans, but there were so many contributing factors that it was necessary to proceed with the new church complex.
The church, Community Hall and presbytery were blessed by Bishop Malcolm McMahon OP, the ninth Bishop of Nottingham, on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, the 8th December 2004.
Sadly, the Norbertine Fathers left the parish in 2008 and Bishop Malcolm appointed our present Parish Priest, Fr. James Burke, to the parishes of Spalding and Holbeach. More changes were inevitable – Fr. Jim is the first Diocesan priest to serve our community. We like to think that the fine legacy left by the Norbertine Fathers is still very much at the core of our worship and our fellowship. Our parish school, St. Norbert's, in Tollgate, is rightly enjoys a fine reputation in the local and wider community. Our congregation these days comprises of people from many countries. Our Polish community is cared for by the Polish Mission in England and Wales, the present chaplain to the Polish community is Fr. Piotr Redlinski, and he celebrates Mass in Polish on Saturday evening at 6.30pm and on Thursdays at 7.00pm.
There is a warm welcome for everyone here in Saint Norbert's – but, don't just take our word for it – if you can, come and experience it for yourself!
A Personal Message from Fr. Jim
It gives me great pleasure to add my own personal welcome to our new website. Sincere thanks to Martin Horspole for his work in creating this site for our use – I hope that you will find the information here useful, and if you have any comments or suggestions relating to the site, please do get in touch.
Many of you will be familiar with the consultation process initiated by our bishop entitled 'You Are Living Stones'. The purpose for this consultation is to meet the needs of the Catholic community spread throughout the Diocese of Nottingham in the years ahead. Declining numbers of priests available means that the Bishop has to start making provision now for the years ahead. Bishop Malcolm wishes that, so far as this is possible, solutions should be found at local grassroots level; people (clerical and lay) and parishes working together. In this parish, we take this very seriously and we not only invite, but we rely upon the good will of our parishioners to become actively involved in the life and mission of this parish – We need you! If you have an area of expertise or if you think you could give some of your time to help us in any way, I would love to hear from you!
I hope you enjoy your visit to our website and wish you, and all you hold dear, every blessing.
Fr. Jim Burke

Appearing for Kanda, senior advocate Ramesh Gupta assured Justice J.R. Midha that his client will not seek "interim bail to attend the Assembly session". Accepting Kanda's submission, the court disposed of a police plea seeking cancellation of his bail. Kanda has already spent 13 months in custody and was granted a month-long interim bail on September 4 to attend the State Assembly session. — PTI

After spending hours on my trip report, inserted all the photos, I went to post and got this message:
"Your submission could not be processed because you have logged in since the previous page was loaded.
Please push the back button and reload the previous window."
I can't get past this step. Please, please tell me i haven't lost everything....
I have opened this page up in a different window BTW and was still logged in.
What happened when you hit the back button?
That has happened to me before :furious: I couldn't get it back, so now I copy everything before I press publish so that I can paste it if it gets lost!
I feel your pain :hug: I now either use word first or copy it ready to paste if it happens.
Hope it hasn't put you off and you'll still do one.
Must admit that I write mine offline in word now as this happened to me before - sooooo frustrating!!
Thanks for the sympathy, Im nearly ready to post again. Have learnt my lesson! :guilty:

Time Warner TWC TV app now lets users watch shows On Demand, live
Time Warner has released an update to its popular TWC TV app today that allows Time Warner Cable subscribers to watch On Demand content from over 4,000 television and movie titles across 91 providers.
Like most pay TV viewing apps, the TWC app only permits viewing programming while your device is connected to your home wireless network; the exception is Dish Network's app, which gets around this by leveraging the company's Sling platform to stream from your actual satellite box outbound to your device, rather than pushing programs from the company's servers.
The company notes that the initial offering will see some programs in high definition and some only in standard definition, explaining that "some networks don't offer their on demand product in HD, while some offer a mix of SD and HD. We don't get absolutely everything in HD today, but we will continue to add to the catalog on an ongoing basis."
The updated app also includes improved support for the iPhone 5, adds a "recently viewed channels" feature to the live TV program guide, and offers bug fixes and performance improvements.
TWC TV is a free download but its use does require that you are a Time Warner Cable video subscriber with a Standard (Expanded Basic) package or higher.

Police looking for the driver of a truck that plunged into a central North Island stream have found a body.
The truck was discovered partially submerged in the Waihohonu Stream on the Desert Rd section of State Highway 1 just after 4am.
Police this evening said a man's body was found when the truck's cab was lifted from the water using a crane.
The man, believed to be the driver of the truck, was in the stream beneath the vehicle.
Police said the driver was a 55-year-old man from Porirua.
His name would be released once police have confirmed that all family have been notified.
Police will be recovering the truck for examination and the road is expected to re-open later this evening.
The road has now re-opened, police said.
Earlier, Taupo area commander Inspector Steve Bullock said police crash investigators were examining the scene and it was too early to say if speed was a factor.
Bullock described the scene as "like a bomb had gone off".
Swift swirling currents and narrow channels beneath the Waihohonu Stream bridge had made searching for the missing driver difficult.
Divers, with and without tanks, and tied by rope to colleagues on the riverbank, battled the swift currents and slowly felt their way around and under the wreckage and large boulders.
The stream, fed by melting spring snow from National Park, was running as swift as river, at about 11 cubic metres a second.
The truck and trailer unit lay in the water half submerged below the bridge after it came to rest tumbling off the road and down the bank.
It appeared the southbound driver had swerved on a moderate left hand bend, run off the road and hit a barrier on the bridge before the weight of the trailer tipped the vehicle over and into the water 20 metres below.
Contents from the trailer, which included some hazardous materials - pool chlorine and insecticide - but mainly general goods, were strewn down the bank, and up to 40 metres downstream.
Three large drums were stranded downstream on rocks, but appeared to be intact and not leaking hazardous material.
Early reports the truck was carrying radioactive materials was proved inaccurate, police said.
The cab lying jammed between rocks under the bridge was destroyed with the roof ripped off.
A pair of overalls, a single sock and a black fleece top lay on the floor.
A chrome nameplate bearing the nickname - Goddess of Fire - of the red coloured truck, understood to be contracted to Mainfreight, lay bent and twisted beside the wreckage.
A Mainfreight representative at the crash scene did not want to comment.
Family members had been contacted in Wellington and Auckland and were driving to the crash scene.
It was understood the southbound truck crashed about 4.30am.
Police were alerted by a passing truck driver who saw the smashed road barrier.
Environment Waikato's Dr Tony Petch confirmed the swiftness of the river, and the small quantity of hazardous goods on board, had not affected the water quality.
"In the worst case scenario the environmental effects are minor," he said.
Test samples of the water upstream and downstream of the crash had been taken to the lab and results would be known tomorrow, he said.
A large grill at the Rangipo power intake was positioned on the river 3km downstream, he said.
Diggers worked to clear the bank of debris and have it removed it by trucks.
Scuff marks on the road 100m before the crash scene may have been caused by the trailer overbalancing and making it difficult for the driver to control, one observer at the scene said.
Heavy haulage operators were standing by waiting until the search area had been cleared of debris to begin attempting to lift the truck and trailer up from the water.
The combined weights of the wreckage and crane made it impossible for the crane to park on the bridge and any lifting would be done using a long arm crane.
Disconnecting the trailer from the tractor unit and cab would be needed before any lifting was undertaken.
It is understood to be the first major crash on the bridge in 30 years.
It is the second serious truck crash in the region in the past fortnight.
A driver walked away uninjured when his large truck and trailer unit carrying dairy products crashed down a 10m bank at Bulli Point, Lake Taupo two weeks ago.
It took three days to salvage the wreckage.

by GREEN THUMB 2012 on JANUARY 14, 2012 - 10 Comments in post
I am looking forward to moving off-grid in the Rio Rancho area some time in the next year.
I have a solid idea of how to build a self-sustaining solar home with attractive recycled building materials. The basic structure of my solar home idea consists of a steel building frame, concrete blocks, and lots of glass, possibly an aerogel-packed variety, to collect solar heat. The design can be found at Larry Hartweg's website. I've purchased and read his great book, and I absorb any idea I can find from other great websites on solar design–passive water pumping, concrete block construction, free cellulose insulation, solar distilling, rainwater harvesting, long-distance 2.4GHz internet relays, satellite television, internet VOIP (where landlines aren't possible or desired), absorption chiller air-conditioning and refrigeration (well-described solar solution from Larry Hartweg's website and book), and beyond. The ideas I've collected are so good that I'm looking for five or six individuals or small families to move into identical homes in the same area where I will be living. Even better would be twenty or so, to set up internet relay enclaves all the way out to my house from the edge of Rio Rancho. I can help with getting building materials, and we'd probably build the houses much faster if we all chipped in. Interior trim and decor would be at the aesthetic discretion of each homeowner.

Nov. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Mexico's benchmark peso bonds slumped for a fourth day as Europe's debt crisis stoked concern that global economic growth will slow and damped investor demand for assets from Latin America's second-biggest economy.
The yield on Mexico's benchmark peso-denominated bond due in 2024 increased for a fourth day, rising six basis points, or 0.06 percentage point, to 6.93 percent at the close of trading in Mexico City. The price for the security declined 0.64 centavos to 126.24 centavos per peso.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel today again ruled out joint euro-area borrowing and an expanded role for the European Central Bank in fighting the region's debt crisis which has sapped demand for Mexico's higher-yielding assets. Euro bonds are "not needed and not appropriate," Merkel said at a press conference with Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti and French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Strasbourg, France.
The recent slump in Mexican bonds "is just reflecting risk aversion," Alonso Cervera, an economist at Credit Suisse Group AG, said in a telephone interview from Mexico City. "It's just a reflection of developments in Europe and lack of liquidity and depth in the market. The big one is Merkel and her comments."
Markets in the U.S. are closed today for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Mexico's consumer prices rose 0.97 percent in the first half of November, the national statistics agency said today on its website. Economists expected prices to climb 0.74 percent, according to the median of 16 estimates in a Bloomberg survey.
The peso declined 0.2 percent to 14.2050 per U.S. dollar, from 14.1788 yesterday. The currency, which has declined 13 percent this year, touched the lowest level since March 2009.
Traders didn't trigger any of the dollar options available today, the central bank said on its website. The bank has been buying as much as $600 million through the options every month since March 2010 to bolster foreign reserves. They allow the central bank to accumulate dollars, insuring against outflows of capital and limiting the peso's appreciation.
