Expand all - Collapse all Review of Edmund Meinerts, submitted at 2009-10-03 10:28:16, score: 8/10 In my review for Hans Zimmer's King Arthur, I mentioned the fact that I prefer Hans Zimmer's scores to large-scale epics to those for straight action films. Gladiator is the first of those epics, and though many say it is simultaneously the best, I disagree. As a listening experience, both The Last Samurai and King Arthur are more satisfying. That's not to say that Gladiator isn't a great album, though, and the sheer number of later scores that have lifted style from it is amazing.Gladiator's first two tracks open with two of the trademarks that have become so thoroughly overused in later "epic" scores, some may find it annoying here - the use of the duduk, and Lisa Gerrard's "wailing woman" vocals. However, this is where all those derivative epics got their inspiration - back in 2001, this was a novel concept and there's no denying it works very well in the film over those waving wheat fields that, yes, have since been overused (most blatantly by 300, whose controversial score by Tyler Bates also borrows somewhat from Gladiator)."The Battle" is one of Gladiator's longest and strongest tracks, though it got Hans Zimmer in a peck of trouble when the Gustav Holst foundation decided it sounded too much like "Mars, Bringer of War" for their tastes. The influences are certainly there, but they are no more blatant than they were in Star Wars. It's a great action piece that never lets you go, and represents a big shift from the chaotic action of Zimmer's 90s scores towards the more harmonious, easy-to-follow action in Zimmer's 2000s scores (especially Pirates of the Caribbean, which took more than a bit of inspiration from Gladiator). It's a shift that I am immensely grateful for.Gladiator's middle section lacks cohesion sometimes. The stronger tracks, like "Earth" and "To Zucchabar", are more ethnically oriented - the former introduces a nice but somewhat underachieving, lilting main theme, while the latter offers some beautiful duduk work by Armenian artist Djivan Gasparyan. These are offset by more dull tracks such as "Patricide", which takes inspiration from The Thin Red Line in its dramatic shifting strings."The Might of Rome", though, sets the score firmly back on the epic track, shifting from an epic crescendo with some ethnic percussion into music that can very well be described as Wagnerian (indeed, it lifts quite obviously from Siegried's Funeral March). "Strength and Honor", too, has certain elements of Wagner in its slow, melodramatic progressions."Slaves to Rome", a short, monumental and surprisingly bolero-like piece, segues directly into the second of Gladiator's two ten-minute action tracks, "Barbarian Horde". It's just as strong as "The Battle", and reprises several themes, including the main theme from "Earth", presented in a far more monumental way here than in that earlier track. The end offers a massive statement of Maximus' theme (which was heard on horn at the beginning of "The Battle"), aided by a chorus and some absolutely massive orchestrations. This is the only moment where Gladiator truly transcends Zimmer's later epics. It's just a shame that, while King Arthur managed to keep this level of melodrama running for minutes on end, these moments are fewer and farther between in Gladiator.Lisa Gerrard's New Age sensibilities show in "Elysium," which she composed with help from Klaus Badelt. Hans Zimmer offers a short statement of the Earth theme in "Honor Him". Then, at the end of the album, the two themes are combined in Gladiator's most famous piece, "Now We Are Free". I'm not usually a fan of the sickly-sweet, barbershop mentality of New Age music, but Zimmer's Earth theme especially lends itself well to Gerrard's voice in this piece, and it's a fitting end to Gladiator.My biggest bone with this score is that it somewhat lacks a coherent personality, a problem neither King Arthur nor The Last Samurai encounter. Gladiator switches between ethnic orchestration, brassy Holst-esque action and New Age vocals too often to make it a coherent listening experience. All three of these styles are handled excellently by Zimmer and Gerrard, but they do rub against each other somewhat on album.Despite all this, Gladiator is a monumental effort and a truly defining score in Zimmer's career. I am grateful to Gladiator because it moved Zimmer away from his punchy, frenetic 90s action scores and towards the superior, large-scale epics he has been regularly composing in the 3rd millenium. Read other recent reviews by Edmund Meinerts: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, Johnny English Reborn Review of Tom Daish, submitted at 2010-09-07 22:30:25, score: 9/10 While some people complain bitterly about the lack of innovation in contemporary film scores, it seems that anything straying too far from what is expected is greeted with even more trepidation and complaint than something somewhat predictable. I admit that innovation is more likely to mean innovation musically; a score that doesn't sound a bit like its temp track these days is a rarity. However, after last year's Thomas Crown Affair and Bill Conti's strange flamenco, hand clapping thing, we have Hans Zimmer's Gladiator. Probably the first historical epic for about 30 years; the way it was made was going to be a point of contention and this extends to the music as well. As I've stated enough times, Hans Zimmer is a fine composer whose ability to sound nothing like what we expect him to sound like is actually quite impressive. I would wager anything that, on a blind test, almost nobody would name Zimmer as the composer of As Good as it Gets - it just sounds unlike nothing he's written that I've heard. However, the accusations against Zimmer are usually as a result of his action scores and an historical epic is going to have lots of action, although Gladiator still as a large number of more lyrical moments. Yes Gladiator does sound like what might be deemed 'typical' Hans Zimmer, but because it doesn't sound like Miklos Rozsa or Alex North doesn't particularly mean it's any less valid and in the context of the film, found that it worked well against all expectations.Firstly, it is not unresaonable to suggest that Gladiator is possibly one of the most unoriginal Zimmer scores, but all the disperate elements are mixed together effectively and that makes it one of those scores that is hard to rate fairly. The two lengthy action cues could easily be from The Rock, along with the a harmonic progression from the over plagurised Mars from Holst's Planet Suite. Mars was the Roman God of War, so the use is not totally unreasonable, works in context, but I would have been more impressed if Zimmer had perhaps credited it as such, but I suppose that would lead to legal complications. The quieter moments veer somewhere between the more sombre moments of both The Thin Red Line and The Prince of Egypt, while those co-written by Lisa Gerrard (who wrote the score to another Crowe film, The Insider) are very new-agey, somewhere between Enya and the Ofra Haza portions of Prince of Egypt. The final two cues are particularly new-agey and lend the film a weirdly spiritual finale that was often a point of contention amongst those watching the film.Gladiator is derivative, but diverse - elements of this and that run into each other like some rambling synth symphony, conjuring up moments of great drama, a few lighter moments, but also a few somewhat simplistic, but engaging battles. One thing that struck me about Gladiator more than any other Zimmer score was how much the music sounded like it was just being played and made up as he went along, most notably in the action pieces. It's a difficult reaction to articulate, but one that I had none the less. The music doesn't jump in style from one cue to the other and actually build quite effectively, perhaps it's the synth orchestra that makes it sound incomplete.As usual, I can't tell where the real instruments (apart from the Gerrard vocals) end and the synths begin, but I'd suggest that a majority is performed on synths, which doesn't sound bad at all, but maybe a proper orchestra would have given it a more credible performance and made it sound less like The Rock or whatever. It is perhaps this fact that makes Zimmer action scores all sound the same, the equipment they are rendered on always has a very metallic twang which means that even if the music is different, the 'instruments' sound the same - the nuance in performance offered by a conventional orchestra isn't there. Anyway, I doubt Zimmer is going to change the way he writes scores for me or anyone else, especially when he's been so hugely successful and Gladiator will undoubtedly win him quite a few new fans, but those opposed to the whole Media Ventures sound will perhaps still remain unimpressed. Read other recent reviews by Tom Daish: The Snow Files: The Film Music of Mark Snow, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Andromeda Review of Andreas Lindahl, submitted at 2008-01-20 21:25:40, score: 8/10 The Roman empire. Statues and buildings in marble, togas, amphi theatres and war are probably some of the things people associate with the Romans. And heroic trumpet calls and big booming drums when it comes to Roman music - which may not have sounded like that at all, but the majority of us think it did. But not Hans Zimmer, if we are to judge by his music for Ridley Scott's Gladiator, starring Russel Crowe in the leading role. Sure, the brass and the drums are all there, but one cannot say it sounds very Roman. In fact, it sounds like a typical action score by Hans Zimmer - the kind of scoring we have heard in the composers' scores for The Rock, Backdraft, Crimson Tide and Peacemaker, albeit much darker. Wether it suits a film about Roman gladiators can be discussed, of course, but I find it hard to really dislike it. There has to be a reason the scores mentioned above are some of my favorites. But yes, we have heard it before and it is starting to get a little repetetive by now. And the lifts from "Mars, the Bringer of War" from Holst's The Planets (very easy to spot in the scores' big action piece "The Battle", don't help either, even if I can understand why Zimmer chose to get "inspired" by that piece - after all Mars is the Roman God of War. But what makes this score interesting is not the music by our German friend, but rather the cues written by Lisa Gerrard. Many would probably call them "New Age crap". I would simply describe them as beautiful. With soft strings and wordless female voice, Gerrard creates music that serves as an excellent contrast to Zimmer's synths and orchestra. But even Zimmer has his moments of orchestral beauty in this score - we know he is capable of writing excellent, strong, thematic music without synths, with The Thin Red Line being one of his very best. In Gladiator we get this kind of scoring in a couple of cues. Most notably in "Patricide" and "The Might of Rome", which both features some stunning writing for strings, joined by dramatic choir, brass and woodwinds in the latter track. Absolutely gorgeous and one of the best pieces on the album.As is the four last cues, "Am I Not Merciful?". "Elysium", "Honor Him" and "Now We are Free", with both the wordless vocals by Gerrard and Zimmer's lyrical and memorable themes these cues serve as a great ending to a score that unfortunately wasn't what I expected it to be, both when it comes to quality and style.

Mar 23, 2012THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PSYCHEDELIC/ELECTRONIC ALBUMS I HAVE EVER HEARD. You will be hearing rainbows and seeing music in no time. They album is best listened to in its entirety (as with all great albums) but highlights include: Stop Talking, Graphics, Bicycle and Plain Material
After a month of digesting Seek Magic thoroughly, oscillating wildly between manic enthusiasm and a kind of defiant distrust of this whole act's shtick, I've committed myself to the stance about which I felt most comfortable from the beginning: this is a very good album, but there are certain things about it with which I take issue.
If you're the sort of person who can see music--even if you can't, perhaps--this is so colourful.
Having greedily sucked the Tapes blog dry of every note I could find without so much as a by your leave to the chap generous enough to share his creations with a bunch of strangers, I waited for Seek Magic's release tingling like a tuning fork and hoping he wouldn't pull a Big Pink on me. He didn't. Seek Magic is probably my favourite album of the year.

Awesome Jacket!!!
I had always heard how good the North Face brand jackets were. I thought they would be on a level playing field with Columbia(which I have a few) and others. I finally bought one and WOW!! I am now a firm believer that if you need a jacket, the only brand is North Face!!!
January 19, 2015
Lightweight and very Warm
This is my First North Face purchase and I am blown away the their quality and craftsmanship. This is an extremely lightweight fleece, which fits great. I am 5feet 7inch, 136 pound and got the Small size. The Arctic Blue color of the fleece is really great. I just got it, so can't vouch for how it;s going to hold out, but I am extremely satisfied and definitely a fan of North Face now.

warm, easy to get on, Good color, just enjoy wearing the coat
I brought 4 coats for my grands for Christmas.. They have had North Face coats before and were excited to received another one.. That for such a good product. Thanks, June

Awesome Jacket
I would not consider this a fleece. It does not have stretch like fleece, more of a firm fabric. It is a great jacket, perfect for a mild climate.
December 18, 2014
Products need to be checked.
The North Face jacket came very quickly. The quality is very good. The jacket
must have been returned from another customer, the jacket had lint and long hairs
on it. You would think the company would at least check the product before they
send it back out. For that reason I would only give 3 stars.
December 15, 2014
Love this jacket!
This jacket is perfect for this time of year. The fit is great and my husband loves the jacket.
December 12, 2014
Nice jacket
Nice looking jacket but it is high, buying that name,this is a gift
December 11, 2014
Not what expected
I purchaseed three of these as Christmas presents and I returned all of them. The material looked like felt and it was stiff and did not give. They looked cheaply made.

Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) has been armed with first ever surface-to-air missiles. Prime minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the low-range FM-90 anti-aircraft missile system at a function at the Kurmitola Air Base.
She said this advanced all-weather surface to air missile system has been introduced with the assistance of China. This ground-based air defence weapon system is capable of hitting targets flying at a low or very high altitude.
While addressing the function, the prime minister mentioned steps her 1996-2001 government had taken to modernise the air force. "We have already completed a fully fledged air base and maintenance unit in Cox's Bazar during this tenure while many other development projects are going on."
Hasina urged the members of the BAF to acquire professional skills to become efficient pilots, engineers and air force personnel. Later, the prime minister inaugurated the Bangabandhu Aeronautical Centre built with help of China at the Kurmitola base in the city.
Air Force officials said the Centre would be able to repair damaged aircraft and helicopters while light tools and parts of aircraft would be manufactured there.
Several ministers of the cabinet, advisors to the prime minister, chiefs of the army and navy, Armed Forces Division principal staff officer and high military and government officials were also present at the programme.

Loading... Just After Sunset (2008)by Stephen King
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A collection of tales, all modern day, dealing with a variety of horror & grief related issues. Common themes here include the Afterlife, it's presence or absence, grief, loss, murder, & ageing. These were readable without necessarily being fantastically enjoyable. The premise was often interesting, but the pacing & the narrative slow paced, & discursive. These are criticisms I've certainly had of King when I read him when I was younger. He almost lets the waffle get in the way of a good story. This probably wouldn't be a bad holiday book but wouldn't be something I'd keep unless I was a King completist. This is a limited edition of only 500 copies numbered and presented in a slipcase in the original shrinkwrap and includes a facsimile signed letter from Stephen King, and a DVD with a graphic animation film of 'N.', one of the short stories from the book. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Reading the first story, Willa. He builds suspense well. Too many adverbs though... One of the biggest problems of getting to know a certain author starting with his best books is that after you read them, you create an expectation whenever you see his name and, when you notice that the book is not all that you thought it would be, you feel double disappointed and end up thinking that the book is not good at all because it wasn't withing your expectations. This is pretty much what happened to me when I read this book: I read it right after reading the whole Dark Tower series and felt sort of disappointed. Well, VERY disappointed actually. Just After Sunset is a book of short stories from the master "suspense" genre (...no, not Alfred Hitchcock), Stephen King. All of them, obviously, have a beginning and a satisfying determined ending, meaning that you'll find no breach on them that might leave the reader in doubt of what might or might not happen. The influence of the Dark Tower series in the stories is pretty evident in the characters and even the street names. The tales are not that bad, but I felt that THE Stephen King essence was missing. Ok, they're short stories, but some of them are so short you can barely think of liking the characters. A book like any other. Definitely nothing OH MY GOD PERFECT. Good enough to make the time go by slightly faster. Nothing more than that. 'Willa': *** It made me think of the original 'Twilight Zone' TV show, although it went on after the revelation and there was no Rod Serling. Is David lucky that his Willa can see more than what is in front of her eyes? I think so. 'Harvey's Dream': **1/2 I'm wondering how Harvey will feel about his dream after his wife answers the phone. (Harvey is apparently clueless about his wife's feelings. Will this marriage last?) 'The Gingerbread Girl':**** I'd listened to this story as a separate audio book only two months or so ago and it's still effective. 'Rest Stop': **** A mild-mannered writer of tough-guy books gets a chance to find out if he can save a damsel in distress. 'Stationary Bike': ***1/2 Although it reminds me a little of Duma Key, I prefer this ending, which I didn't see coming. 'Graduation Afternoon': ** Not a bad story about how everything can change in a single afternoon. I wouldn't have minded knowing what came after. 'The Things They Left Behind': ***1/2 A man who survived 9/11 is haunted by objects that belonged to persons who didn't. I really liked the ending. 'N':***** If Mr. King hadn't named his inspiration in his after notes, I'd have guessed H. P. Lovecraft. I think it's the most unsettling story in the book. Don't visit that field, whatever you do. 'New York Times at Special Bargain Rates': *It's been about three weeks since I listened to this story and I can't remember anything about it. 'Mute':** I vaguely remember some of this story. 'The Cat From Hell':**** I had no trouble remembering this one. Three cheers for the cat vs. the hired killer! 'Ayana': ***!/2 Our narrator is very, very sick. So is Ayana. Which one, if either, will the author choose to help? It was an interesting concept. 'A Very Tight Space': ***** One of the best stories in this collection is about two neighbors whose feelings toward each other are anything but neighborly. The hero is gay. I found myself cringing as I used to do when regularly watching horror films on TV -- I just knew that what our hero was doing was a Very Bad Idea. The villain's plan for him was extremely nasty. Listening to the crazy guy's conspiracy theory about the hero was disturbing. Although the hero annoyed me by not trying to use his legs first, the method Mr. King had him use did tie in sweetly with the hero's beloved dog. The hero's revenge made me chortle! There were more winners than losers in this collection, so far as I'm concerned. no reviews | add a review

Scope for Australian, Japanese companies to team up
PUBLISHED: 08 Oct 2012 00:01:00 | UPDATED: 08 Oct 2012 12:02:20PUBLISHED: 08 Oct 2012 PRINT EDITION: 08 Oct 2012Driving force ... While China has overtaken Japan as Australia's largest trading partner, experts and business leaders say Japanese companies should still be highly valued in Australia as long-term investors and "sources of patient capital".

Greg Earl
Australian companies have been urged to focus more on joint projects with Japanese companies operating in other parts of Asia, to extend a business relationship built on the iron ore trade that is entering its 50th year.
One of the country's longest serving analysts of Australia-Japan relations and Australian National University academic Peter Drysdale will point out on Monday that the two countries have not made the best use of an enduring relationship that has been at the heart of Asia's economic rise.
"Our strategic focus needs to be on the achievement of deep and efficient economic integration of the two economies in Asian and global markets and serving as a model of regional integration with open participation to regional partners able and willing to comply and sign on automatically," Professor Drysdale will tell the annual conference of the Australia Japan Business Co-operation Committee Conference in Sydney.
His comments are backed up by JP Morgan chairman and the conference's president, Rod Eddington, who said Australian and Japanese companies have the potential to work as partners rather than competitors in countries such as Indonesia and India.
While China has overtaken Japan as Australia's largest trading partner, Sir Rod said in an interview that Japanese companies should still be highly valued in Australia as long-term investors and "sources of patient capital".
"The Japanese know us well," he said. "They have a high degree of trust."
The agenda for the annual meeting of Australia's oldest bilateral Asian business group reflects Sir Rod's push to broaden the group. There are sessions on clean energy, innovation and demography.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard is expected to emphasise the role of Australia's long-standing diplomatic and economic partners like Japan, which will be acknowledged in the government's Asian century white paper.
Professor Drysdale will point out potential areas of economic engagement, including in infrastructure development in Japan and Australia.
"Our regional and urban infrastructure in growth centres in the north and across the country is under pressure; improved inter-urban connectivity in the south-east will be crucial to international engagement and competitiveness," he will say.
"The scope for bi-national co-operation in this area is palpable – where is the Japanese and Australian forward-thinking on high speed rail development between Australia's major cities.
"There is obvious scope for a significant bi-national project, subject to testing against the international competition.
"In Japan, there are also infrastructure challenges: your ports, for example, no longer match international competitive scale or capacity."

We did go to the beach 3 days & we used the chairs in the garage - very nice that these were available for our use!! There were toys, etc for children too but we did not use them. The house is big and everyone had their own space which was important when we were stuck inside because of rain a couple of days.

Review of the Month: Wilde Imagination, Evangeline Ghastly Series & Heart of Darkness Parnilla…
Hello Everybody ,
Hope you had a nice week-end!
Let's take it easy and start the month with a new review. Indeed, last time, I shared some pictures and my impressions of Valentine, the cute cat from Wilde Imagination (see related post here). I remember I said that I didn't have any Evangeline doll yet, but I was so in love with the pet but I couldn't help buying it . The situation has changed now, as I received another very cool doll from the Evangeline series.
So, for this month review, allow me to introduce Heart of Darkness – Parnilla from Wilde Imagination. Yay!!!
BTW, and before going in details, I apologize for the pictures' quality. It's quite busy here at the moment, so I don't have much time to edit the photos. Hope it'll be all right.
Background info
Parnilla Ghastly is a new character introduced this summer. I guess we can say that she is the nemesis of Evangeline…. Indeed, the beauty came all the way from Paris to see her cousin, Evangeline, as well as her first love, Mortimer. You can get her detailed profile here, but to make things short she seems to be here to challenge our dear Evangeline. I can't wait to see what will happen next
Overall, If you aren't familiar with this doll series, you can have a look on our Kaolipedia or check Wilde Imagination website for more details.
About the doll
There is not much to say about the packaging. Around 50cm tall. See the pictures below for more details.
Basic doll
Parnilla is around 47 cm tall and has 15 points of articulation. According to the manufacturer, the body is made of hard Plastic (I can see that too) when Vinyl material is used for the head.
I don't have much to say about the articulations, and overall, the doll looks very nice. You can see more picture of the nude body on my Gallery, just check the link at the end of the post. Nonetheless, I would like to highlight a few points that I found a bit strange.
First, my doll came with inverted hands, as you can see on the picture below. Not a big deal, as it quite easy to detach the hands and replace them correctly, but well, it can be quite disturbing .
Second thing is that the legs. Parnilla seems to have a leg that is shorter than the other. I remember I saw somewhere that it was the case with the vinyl Evangeline. I thought it would be fixed with the new body but seems not… Or am I mistaken?
My favorite part? The wig of course… Love these dark locks and the purple/dark insert eyes
As you can see below, even though it's at basic version, Parnilla comes with underwear and shoes.
Bonus Pictures
That's it for the review. I'm always ending up writing too much. More pictures & slideshow are available here.

The terrible western cartoon artwork gracing "How to Draw Manga" books are beaten in the shitstakes by the amateurish cover to "How to Cheat in Photoshop CS3: The art of creative photorealistic montages."
Looking like something tossed off in five minutes for a Worth1000 or SA forum thread, the image is a mash of ill-cropped components, sharp edges and woeful colorization, with the spatial relationships of a popsicle shadow play. And … why is there a giant hole in his left elbow? "Photorealistic montages" indeed–fourth edition!

Report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo
(translation of statement made in French)
I would like to thank Mr. Vuk Jeremić, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Serbia and Mr. Skender Hyseni, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Kosovo, for their presence.
I also wish to thank Mr. Lamberto Zannier, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, for his statement and for the work that he and his team are doing. We appreciate his work as the head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), in cooperation with the other international presences, first and foremost, of course, the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX).
A year ago almost to the day, Kosovo adopted its Constitution. At that time, we called on the Kosovo authorities to rapidly implement all the provisions of the Constitution, which is exemplary in its adherence to European standards and values. The new authorities in Kosovo have honoured their commitments, in particular by adopting several laws essential to strengthening the rule of law and to the participation of minorities. In particular, the Government's strong commitment to decentralization is a key decision in favour of the progressive building of a multi-ethnic Kosovo. The protection of the rights of minorities is a priority for the European Union, which will ensure the fulfilment of the commitments undertaken by the authorities in that area.
Despite some outbreaks of violence fanned by extremist elements often linked to criminal groups, the security situation in Kosovo has been remarkably stable in recent months. The population and all communities have thereby indicated their firm dedication to peace and stability.
Internationally, 60 States now recognize Kosovo. We also welcome Kosovo's accession to membership of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, a move that is essential to the economic development of the country. Such developments will contribute to the emergence of a new State on the international stage and to stability throughout the Balkans.
The deployment of EULEX was completed on 6 April. As it has progressed, the inhabitants of Kosovo have come to see that, despite the negative propaganda spread by certain extremist groups, the European Mission is acting for the benefit of the entire population and all communities.
Pursuant to the reconfiguration of the international presence decided by the Secretary-General and endorsed by the Security Council in its presidential statement of 26 November 2008 (S/PRST/2008/44), EULEX is now responsible for all operational tasks in the rule of law sector that previously fell to UNMIK. The reconfiguration is in no way synonymous with a reduction of the international presence in Kosovo. On the contrary, it represents a robust step and testimony to the ongoing commitment of the international community.
As it does for all United Nations missions, the Security Council will have to consider the evolution of UNMIK's mandate. In that respect, we believe that the proposals made by Mr. Zannier and by the Secretary-General in his report (S/2009/300) are quite appropriate.
Acting within the framework of resolution 1244 (1999) and under the overall authority of the United Nations, EULEX works in coordination with the other components of the international presence, in particular UNMIK, which continues to play a useful role. I wish to recall the importance that France attaches to the due cooperation of the Kosovo authorities with the United Nations.
The European Union, for its part, has followed the dialogue launched by the Secretary-General with all parties concerned on the reconfiguration of the international presence. The dialogue is key to stability in the region. We are well aware of the difficulties involved. The profound differences between the Serb and Kosovar authorities will not be settled overnight, but that should not prevent us from seeking together, through dialogue, practical solutions to the concrete problems that affect the lives of all the Kosovo communities.
We listened carefully to the statements made by Mr. Jeremić and Mr. Hyseni. We were pleased to note that, despite their ongoing differences, they have a shared interest in preserving the conditions for a common future within Europe. We therefore encourage Belgrade and Pristina to renew direct dialogue as soon as possible.
France particularly wishes to tell Mr. Jeremić that, in supporting the European initiatives to contribute to stability in the region, he will help to establish conditions for a common future for the West Balkans. That was the message that French President Sarkozy conveyed to President Tadić during the latter's recent visit to Paris. At the same time, at a recent meeting of its General Affairs and External Relations Council, the European Union took another step forward by deciding to accelerate the process of visa liberalization for all the Balkan countries.
To Mr. Hyseni, we naturally wish to reiterate the support expressed by our President for Prime Minister Thaci during his visit to Paris, and to convey to him that it is through tangible progress towards a state of law and respect for neighbouring minorities and through an effort to forge bonds of friendship with Kosovo's neighbours that his country will advance down the road to European integration.
The European Union is fully cognizant of its responsibilities for overcoming obstacles to a stable and prosperous future for the West Balkans. In that spirit, we will strive in the months to come to proceed towards a common future for Serbs and Kosovars in the framework of the European Union.

You really can't do three axis with a single FC/gimbal. Two reasons:
1) Servos wires would get in the way when panning the gimbal controller. 2) Unless you have accurate feedback as to what pan angle the gimbal is at and a control structure to match, the flight controller will roll and pitch the gimbal proportionally to the roll and pitch of the copter. If you pan it say 90 degs ,the controller will still roll and pitch according to the copter coordinates, so the gimbal would be compensated incorrectly. Hope that makes sense Another reason is that many are finding that the seperate gimbal controller is beneficial when mounted on the gimbal itself. This is due to the slight difference in relative motion between the gimbal and the frame if it's on isolator. The seperate gimbal controller can theoretically respond more accurately because it "sees" what the gimbal sees. That being said, I think that for 2-axis gimbals, a flight controller with good gimbal controls can still do the job adequately. |

I couldn´t explain it better. With the 360 pan problem is that the upper and lower part have to be independent, with their own BECS, batteries and electronics. That is also usefull for adjusting the gimbals electronics as having a standalone unit is very handy as you do not have to turn/hang a 1m diameter multi. You can see how it works here (this was the fist version with the old gimbal and landing gear):
There´s a growing market for 3 axis camera stabilization systems. Picloc was one of them but both photohiger, cinestar and many others are selling/developing them. As I told you before I´m sure that a lite version of the aq with the right code could be a fantastic solution for this task. If it would be possible to link two aq´s trough the xbee link and plan missions for both it would probably be something nobody has yet done (as far as I know). With aq´s precision added to a gimbal following a preconfigured mission this could really be a way to do perfect preconfigured shots, as many times as neccesary. It would be similar to the orbit function but with the abbility to also program pan,pitch roll and who now maybe even zoom functions on the cameras that allow this or maybe together with a camera controlling mehtod such as camremote pro..... maybe I should stop dreaming, or is it possible to do this in the near future? |

A slip ring won't fix your problem. If the gimbal and copter are both pointing forwards then the gimbal stabilisation will work. As the copter pans the stabilisation for the gimbal will cease to function correctly.
If the copter pans around say 90 degrees (pan stays locked to where it was originally) and then flys forwards, the tilt tray on the gimbal will respond by tilting backwards, when in actual fact it is roll that needs to compensate. This is why there needs to be separate IMU's for gimbal and copter on 360 stabilised systems. I suppose it could work with one IMU and some very clever compass coding...but that would be a faff |

Dirt and even temp differences could interfere. I think I would also opt for wireless communication between the FC and gimbal controller. Nice thought but most of us don't have the possibility to play with that so I guess if such an option will be build, it will be by someone that needs it, has the skills and the stuff to test .. |

Two popular choices of fuel for camping stoves are white gas and compressed gas. Some pros and cons of these two fuel types include:
White gas: A white gas camp stove is versatile, and can function on different varieties of fuel, which can be handy if you are traveling overseas. Also, it is easy to see how much fuel you have left when you are using a white gas camp stove, and you don't need to worry about carrying empty fuel cansiters around with you. The Mountain Safety Research Whisper Internationale Camp Stove is an excellent choice for a white gas stove. This MSR stove can use white gas, kerosene, or unleaded gasoline, and it packs into a MSR pot.
Compressed gas: Camping gas stoves that use compressed gas cylinders are another option for outdoor cooking. Compressed gas stoves are popular camping stoves for family camping because they set up quickly and easily. The Jetboil Group Cooking System features a 1.5-liter pot that boils 2 cups of water in 2 minutes, and it has the capacity to boil up to 50 cups of water using just one canister of fuel.
For expert advice about camping stoves and outdoor cooking, visit your local Sun & Ski Sports shop.

Jimenez up by 1 at Muirfield
GULLANE, Scotland (AP) — As was the case in the first round of the British Open at Muirfield, afternoon play produced much higher scores than what were posted in the morning. The greens dried out and became super-fast from cross-winds all over the course. End result, there are just nine players at under-par after 36 holes of play.
The leader is 49-year-old Miguel Angel Jimenez (AHN'-hehl hee-MEHN'-ehz). He followed up his opening round 68 with an even-par 71 to remain 3-under. Jimenez is trying to become the oldest major champion in golf history. Julius Boros was 48 when he won the PGA Championship.
Several players are tied for second at 2-under, including Dustin Johnson and Tiger Woods. For Woods, the world's top-ranked player, his even-par-71 included three birdies and three bogeys.
First round leader Zach Johnson, the winner of the 2007 Masters, had a hard-earned 4-over-75 to finish play at 1-under.
Not too far off the lead at 1-over are Bubba Watson, 19-year old Jordan Spieth (speeth) and Phil Mickelson.
In all, there are nine winners of major championships lurking within four shots of the lead.
Some familiar names taking weekend off
GULLANE, Scotland (AP)— Some of golf's best will not be in the hunt this weekend as they failed to make the cut at the British Open, which was 8 over par. U.S. Open champion Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald, Jim Furyk (FYOOR'-ihk), Mark Calcavecchia (kal-kuh-VEHK'-ee-ah), Vijay Singh (sing), Lucas Glover and Bill Haas all missed the cut.
Second round continues
MADISON, Miss. (AP) — Vaughn Taylor, Fabian Gomez, Paul Stankowski and Troy Matteson are tied for the clubhouse lead during the second round of the PGA's Sanderson Farms Championship. They're all in the clubhouse at 10 under par.
Creamer tied for the top
SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) — Former winner Paula Creamer shares the lead with Spain's Beatriz Recari and Alison Walshe at 8-under 134 at the midway point of the Marathon Classic, the tournament formerly known as the Jamie Farr Classic. Top-ranked Inbee Park, a six-time winner on the LPGA Tour, is lurking just two shots off the lead.
Rypien in front
STATELINE, Nev. (AP) — Former NFL quarterback Mark Rypien (RIP'-ihn) had an eagle and three birdies Friday to take a two-point lead after the first round of the American Century Championship.
Rypien finished with 27 points at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course under the modified Stableford scoring system.
Actor Lucas Black is second with 25 points, followed by former NFL quarterback Chris Chandler with 24. Former Denver quarterback John Elway, Golden State guard Stephen (STEH'-fihn) Curry and former NHL player Jeremy Roenick were tied for fourth place with 22 points.
Jeter back on the DL...Cobb to start rehab next Tuesday
NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter is back on the disabled list. The Yankees have announced that their captain has been placed on the 15-day DL with a right quad strain. He sustained the injury in his first game back with the team last week after being out all season with a broken left ankle.
The 39-year-old shortstop singled on his first pitch in a major league game this year as the Yankees beat Kansas City on July 11, but he left in the eighth inning when his quad tightened.
In other baseball news:
— Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Alex Cobb, who sustained a concussion when he was hit in the head by a batted ball in mid-June, is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Class-A Charlotte on Tuesday. Cobb, 6-2 with a 3.01 ERA in 13 starts, was cleared to begin his rehab after throwing 59 pitches in a four inning simulated game Thursday.
— Philadelphia Phillies right-hander reliever Mike Adams still feels discomfort in his pitching shoulder and might be headed for season-ending surgery. Adams has been on the disabled list since June 21 with right biceps tendinitis.
__The Chicago White Sox activated right-handed pitcher Jake Peavy from the disabled list and could be about a week away from getting right-handed setup man Jesse Crain back as well.
Niners get CB Wright from Bucs
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers have acquired cornerback Eric Wright in a trade with Tampa Bay that sends a conditional selection in the 2014 draft to the Buccaneers.
The teams announced the deal Friday, one week after Wright was arrested in Los Angeles on an unspecified misdemeanor charge. He was released after posting bond.
Last season, Wright was suspended for four games by the NFL for violating the performance-enhancing drug policy in his first — and only — season with the Bucs.
Cavs introduce new big man
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Andrew Bynum is no longer a free agent. He has signed a two-year, $24 million contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bynum sat out the entire 2012-2013 season with Philadelphia because of knee injuries, but said he will be medically cleared to practice by the start of training camp. He underwent surgery on both knees in March.
The Cavaliers only guaranteed Bynum $6 million in the first year of the deal, but he could earn an additional $6 million through performance incentives. Cleveland holds a $12 million team option for the second season.
Bynum previously played for Cavaliers coach Mike Brown with the Lakers two years ago, making his lone All-Star appearance.
NHL to send players
NEW YORK (AP) — Players from the National Hockey League are Olympic bound. A deal has been reached that will send the world's best players to Sochi (SOH'-chee), Russia, next February.

BOSTON (AP) — Several news organizations are calling for release of more documents related to the murder investigation involving former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez.
The organizations, including The Associated Press, filed motions in district court in Massachusetts seeking access to two arrest warrants and other search warrants and materials they say remain impounded.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the shooting death of Odin Lloyd, a Boston semi-professional football player. Hernandez's legal team says the case against him is circumstantial and that he wants to clear his name. He is being held at a county jail.
