Carpathian suspects errors in reports
PUBLISHED: 25 May 2010 10:48:36 | UPDATED: 26 May 2010 04:42:06PRINT EDITION: 25 May 2010
Oil and gas explorer Carpathian Resources is investigating suspected irregularities in some of its past financial transactions.
Carpathian has received information suggesting the alleged irregularities in "certain historic financial transactions", the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Carpathian board is currently not able to determine whether the alleged irregularities are material, and lawyers have been called on to investigate the issue in Australia and the United States.
Forensic accountants will also be called on shortly, Carpathian said.
The investigation is expected to last six weeks.
The company's operations are focused on Central Europe, where it holds a number of oil and gas licenses in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Carpathian's shares were briefly suspended from quotation on the Australian Securities Exchange on May 3 because the company failed to lodge its financial report for the three months to March 31.
They were reinstated when Carpathian lodged its report later on the same day.
Carpathian shares are currently in a trading halt at 5.7 cents.

Gwinnett Daily Post
PEACHTREE CORNERS -- The mayor and city council voted to accept a local maintenance and improvement grant from the Georgia Department of Transportation during Tuesday's city council meeting.
The 2013 grant deadline has already passed, but the city can still receive the $128,785.90 as long as it can come up with 30 percent to support the grant.
"Typically, this grant is tied to paving or sidewalks," said Johns Creek director of public works Tom Black, who is also a resident of Peachtree Corners. "It can't be used for beautification."
While the council may not know what project they would like the money to go toward, they can still apply and roll it into 2014 when they have a clearer picture of what they would like to do.
"We have to move quickly to get the 2013 money," Black said. "The 2014 grant will be coming out soon and the city will be able to roll the 2013 money into 2014."
Councilmember Jeanne Aulbach asked if the money could be for improvements such as sidewalks next to schools.
"You wouldn't use it for that because there's also a safe routes to schools grant that the city could apply for," Black said.
What the money could go to do is fix potholes, pave sidewalks in high-traffic areas, etc.
The council also approved:
-- Expanding the Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District by 17 businesses within the city. To gain approval, 75 percent of the business owners had to agree, which city planning director Diane Wheeler said was already reached.
-- The alcoholic beverage licenses for Life Time Athletic and Super Carniceria Jalisco No. 6.

Review of The Cottage
First clas care with compassion
My mother was only a resident for a very short time as she suffered a stroke soon after arrival. Despite the lack of time for the staff to get to know her as a person the standard of care together with the sympathy and understanding shown to both my mother and her relatives was absolutely first class. Making a decision of this nature is very hard and if this helps others I would be delighted. It is also important for praise to be expressed when applicable.
Overall Standard: Excellent |
Facilities: Excellent |
Care / Support: Excellent |

I caught myself today repeating a few basic operations by hand what seemed like a zillion times. Over and over again. I didn't really notice it at the time but it was really slowing me down.
For example, after committing to tklbam I would create a tklbam testing package, copy the package to one of my test machines, install it and remove the archive.
OK, I admit it. I used to program in Perl. And I liked it! My Perl programs were terse. If I could shave a line off, I did. In fact, I spent a non-trivial amount of time figuring the shortest possible programs that solved various problems. Often that meant resorting to various tricks and arcane features of Perl that nobody other than me would bother to understand. I took pride in that.
The basic methodology for optimization:
Discover where you program is spending its time (hotspots vs coolspots)
A good way to get an overview is to use the Python profiler. The Python profile will usually be included in Python's standard library:
Trying to squeeze out more performance out of your program? Don't be afraid to experiment!
In practice what that means is you setup small, simple throwaway experiments to establish how things work when you're not absolutely sure you fully understand something such (e.g., how many times a second a certain function can be invoked, how the profiler measures blocking IO or the time it takes a sub-program to complete).
During the first few months of my Drupal experience I looked for answers to any issues that came up first in the official documentation, then on Google. It's a big Drupal world out there so more often then not I would find someone had come across exactly the same issue before and I could just parrot the solution without necessarily understanding why it worked.
Many languages encourage programmers to use a getter/setter pattern.
Like this:
The following is written for programmers who don't really understand object oriented programming yet. They probably understand the language semantics, but don't really understand how to use them correctly.
If you find yourself misusing object oriented semantics that probably means you don't have the skills to develop good software. This is a problem because bad software is much harder to develop and even harder to maintain.
Let's say you have the following program:
cat>example.py<<'EOF' #!/usr/bin/python import time while True: print 'hello world' time.sleep(1) EOF chmod +x ./example.py
If you run this program from a terminal, it will print hello world every second.
But redirect the output to a file and something different happens:
./example.py > output & tail -f output
You won't see any output! (At least not for a long while)
I didn't want installation of one of TurnKey's components to freeze up too long if it was installed offline so I looked for a nice way to detect that without bringing in additional dependencies.
Two methods stood out...
ping Google DNS servers: one second constant delay, regardless if you're online or off:
When I go offline I pull my network cable. This causes DNS queries to take forever to resolve. Actually 40 seconds but it feels like forever.

This cartoon started as a joke, which I later turned into a comic. My friends seem to enjoy it, and I am fairly pleased. Let me know what you think!
A lot of people have been asking about the music used in this toon, which is called "A Dreadlocked Spaceman's Dub" by Audiosodomy. The author doesn't want to make this song available to the public yet, but he has other stuff online at:

The scale of Obama's humiliation revealed: Romney scores 52-point debate victory - the BIGGEST in Gallup poll history
Submitted by emalvini on Mon, 10/08/2012 - 18:50The scale of Obama's humiliation revealed: Romney scores 52-point debate victory - the BIGGEST in Gallup poll history
By TOBY HARNDEN

UPDATED: 17:17 EST, 8 October 2012
Mitt Romney won the first presidential debate by a whopping 52-point margin according to Gallup - the most resounding margin since the polling giant began tracking debates 20 years ago.
The stunning judgement on the debate came as a bombshell Pew national poll put Romney four points ahead of President Barack Obama by 49 to 45 points - a huge swing of 12 points from mid-September, when Pew found Obama leading by 51 to 43 points.
In Gallup debate results published today, three times more people thought Romney did a better job than Obama in last week's so-called Duel in Denver presidential debate.
The poll about the Wednesday night's debate in Denver, watched by 67 million people, was conducted on Thursday and Friday. Of those who watched, 72 per cent thought Romney did a better job compared to 20 per cent for Obama.

The anticipated merger of Russian carriers Vnukovo Airlines and Sibir is in doubt following the resignation of Vladislav Filiov as general director at Vnukovo. The Sibir chief executive had been running both carriers in what was expected to be the prelude to a tie-up.
Filiov spent six weeks at Vnukovo "getting to the know the situation" at the country's largest domestic airline and has returned to Novosibirsk, saying that both airlines now realise what needs to be done if the merger is to go ahead. But, while he pledges that Sibir will do what is needed, he says Vnukovo must address its problems alone.
Filiov highlights Vnukovo's fleet problems and parlous financial state as the areas most in need of attention. Sibir's fleet is fully airworthy, while only 20 of Vnukovo's 58 aircraft are serviceable, making harmonisation of maintenance standards essential.
Financially, Vnukovo has made considerable losses over the past couple of years after engaging in a fares war aimed at combating competition on its trunk domestic routes out of Moscow. Sibir, however, broke even last year, according to Russian accounting standards, despite starting the year three months in arrears on airport charges, fuel and pay. In 1997 - before Filiov joined - it took a loss.
Filiov says that, if Vnukovo overcomes its problems, a merger may be possible by the second quarter of next year. In the meantime, the two carriers will experiment with "joint operation" of certain routes.
• Russia's Aviastar, the Ulyanovsk production factory and manufacturer of the An-124, has sold its 34% holding in outsize freighter operator Volga-Dnepr to Russian insurance company NIK for an undisclosed sum. Volga-Dnepr general director Aleksei Isaiken welcomes the move, saying that, with NIK as a major shareholder, the airline "should be well placed to increase our capital base, and thus to improve our fleet".
Volga-Dnepr has been locked in a row with Antonov of the Ukraine over the upgrade of its seven An-124s, with the airline pressing for a design life extension and Antonov expressing concern over an alleged breach of service-interval requirements and unapproved modifications. Isaiken says the NIK link will aid its plan "to upgrade our An-124-100s and to make them better equipped to meet our customers' needs".

I'd really hate to go unarmed, even if it is company policy, my life isn't worth risking for a job with crappy pay. I was looking into the Taurus Ultra Lite 38 Specials, because I don't have a whole lot of money to spend. I absolutely cannot stand going unarmed, at all. I feel "naked". I used to have a Kel-Tec P3AT, but sold it. I do have a Ruger SP101, but its a bit heavy for pocket carry. Does Taurus make their ultra lites with spureless hammers?

It says spring on the calendar, but US and Canadian Coast Guard ice breakers are still dealing with the winter and doing the hard work of clearing pathways for shipping vessels as they haul raw materials on the ice-clogged Great Lakes. The past winter saw the most extensive ice cover on the Great Lakes in several years, with Frank Frisk of the BoatNerd.com website saying what used to be a navigational nightmare in years past has become a bit easier these days thanks to new technologies. Frisk says the ice is the worst since the winter of 1993 and 94. In some places, lake ice is more than four feet thick, which is pushing the limits of the Coast Guard ice breakers. Typical ice breaking efforts would continue through May, but Frisk says with the especially tough winter we've had the efforts may take longer this year.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Perfluoroethers are a class of organofluorine compound containing one or more ether functional group. In general these compounds are structural analogous to related hydrocarbon ethers, but they exhibit to the distinctive properties of fluorocarbons.[1]
Acyclic perfluoroethers are known, e.g. O(C2F5)2, the analogue of diethylether. More interesting and more useful are the cyclic ethers, especially, the epoxides. Thus tetrafluoroethyene oxide and hexafluoropropylene oxide are two of the simplest cyclic perfluoroethers. It is a precursor to perfluoro(methyl vinyl ether (CF2=CFOCF3) and perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether are used as a comonomers with tetrafluoroethylene.
Perfluoroalkoxy alkanes (PFAs) are fluoropolymers with properties similar to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) prepared polytetrafluoroethylene perfluoro methylvinylether, with a different ratio of PTFE and MVE monomers from PFA, is MFA. In these materials, the ether groups are pendant from the polymer backbone.
Krytox is a grease generated by the polymerization of hexafluoropropylene oxide. Their chemical formula is F−(CF(CF3)−CF2−O)n−CF2CF3. The ether groups are integral to the polymer chain.
Nafion is a perfluorinated polyether with pendant sulfonic acid groups (RSO3H).

Orioles sign three to Minor League deals
BALTIMORE—The Orioles signed a trio of players to Minor League deals on Friday in infielder Paul Janish, outfielder Quincy Latimore and right-handed pitcher Terry Doyle.
Janish, 32, is an excellent defender and has played shortstop, second base and third base in parts of six season in the Majors for Cincinnati and Atlanta. He signed a Minor League deal with the Rockies in February but opted out of his deal mid-season and signed with the Royals organization, where he played for Triple-A Omaha.
He is a career .214 hitter in the big leagues with seven home runs and 81 RBIs and has committed only 22 errors in 344 games played. HIs signing includes an invite to Major League Spring Training.
Latimore, 25, spent last season with Double-A Harrisburg as part of the Nationals organization. He was a fourth-round pick by Pittsburgh in the 2007 Draft and owns a career .251/.314/.412 line in eight seasons in the Minors.
Doyle, 29, spent last season in the White Sox and Braves organizations. He went 4-4 with a 5.93 ERA in eight starts at Double-A Birmingham (Chicago), 1-0 with a 2.79 ERA in five relief appearances at Double-A Mississippi (Atlanta) and 4-4 with a 2.93 ERA in 23 games (seven starts) for the Braves Triple-A Gwinnett team.
Os claim Hassan
BALTIMORE— Looking to add outfield help, the Orioles claimed Alex Hassan off waivers on Thursday from the Oakland A's. It continues a whirlwind week for the 26-year-old, who was claimed by Oakland from the Red Sox several days ago.
Baltimore jumped at the chance to acquire Hassan this time, as the A's tried to push him through waivers, and the 26-year-old was added to the team's 40-man roster. Hassan, who still have Minor League options remaining, made made his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox in 2014 after spending parts of six seasons in the Minors.
He appeared in three games for Boston and has shown to be a considerable on-base threat —something Orioles' EVP Dan Duquette has long sought out— sporting a .282/.387/.411 career line at Triple-A.
A Massachusetts native, Hassan was Boston's 20th-round pick in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft.
Os protect Wilson and Wright
BALTIMORE— The Orioles protected pitchers Tyler Wilson and Mike Wright from the Rule 5 Draft, adding both right-handers to the 40-man roster before Thursday's midnight deadline.
The moves, coupled with the waiver claim of outfielder Alex Hassan earlier in the day, puts the O's 40-man roster at 37 and leaves several notable prospects —including catcher Brian Ward and pitchers Parker Bridwell and Mychal Givens unprotected.
What makes them eligible for the Rule 5 Draft this winter? Any player not on a team's 40-man roster who was signed at age-19 or older and has been in the organization for four-plus years, or was signed at age-18 or younger and has been in the organization for five-plus years is eligible to be taken in the Rule 5 Draft. If selected in the Major League portion of the Draft, that player must remain on the 25-man roster of his new team for the whole season or be offered back to the original club.
Wilson and Wright were like locks to be added to the 40-man roster, with both generating outside interest from other clubs and believed to be Major League-caliber arms. Wilson had a breakout season of sorts, going 14-8 with a 3.67 combined ERA at Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk. A former 10th-round selection, he's a scrappy pitcher who scouts describe as smart on the mound, and he earned the Orioles' Minor League Pitcher of the Year Award.
Wright had a less successful campaign, but Baltimore believes the potential is still there, despite an 5-11 record with a 4.61 ERA at Norfolk. A part of big league Spring Training each of the past two years, it was hard to envision the Orioles not protecting him.
Bridwell and Givens each have upside, and they have steadily climbed the ranks in the O's organization. Bridwell went 7-10 with a 4.45 ERA at Class A Advanced Frederick, but he has shown flashes of dominance, and he has a fastball that hits the mid-90s. Givens is a converted infielder who had a solid showing (3.09 ERA) as a reliever in this year's Arizona Fall League.
Ward has progressed considerably on the defensive end, and he's well thought of in the organization for his abilities to control the opponents' running game. But the Orioles have four catchers on their current 40-man roster — Matt Wieters, Caleb Joseph, Steve Clevenger and Michael Ohlman — which made it tough to justify adding Ward.
Orioles sign nine to Minor League deals
The Orioles announced Wednesday that they have signed nine players to Minor League deals, including the re-signing of infielder Michael Almanzar and left-handed pitcher Chris Jones.
Almanzar was Baltimore's Rule 5 Draft pick last year, from the Red Sox organization, and he came to Spring Training expecting to compete for a third base spot with Manny Machado's injury. However, Almanzar was placed on the disabled list with tendinitis in his knee, later transferred to the 60-day DL, and when the O's were unable to add him to the active roster after his rehab stint he was offered back to Boston. The Orioles acquired Almanzar again, along with Boston infielder Kelly Johnson, Jemile Weeks and Iván DeJesús, Jr. on August 30.
The O's designated Jones in Spring Training to create a 40-man roster spot for Nelson Cruz and he was released from the organization several days later. They re-signed him to a Triple-A contract in March.
The Orioles also signed pitchers Frank Gailey, Tim Gustafson, Kenn Kasparek, Mikey O'Brien, and Ronan Pacheco, infielder/outfielder Derrik Gibson and made official the signing reported earlier this week of shortstop Ozzie Martinez.
Os add depth in Martinez
BALTIMORE— The Orioles have signed infielder Osvaldo (Ozzie) Martinez to a Minor League contract, a move that should help the organization's depth, particularly at shortstop.
Martinez, 26, spent most of last year with Triple-A Gwinnett (Atlanta Braves) and he hit .288/.340/.350. He was acquired in a May trade from the Dodgers organization, where he played 33 games at Double-A to start the 2014 season.
Martinez has played in the Majors in parts of two seasons for the Marlins, in 2010 and 2011, and was originally drafted by Florida in the 11th round of the 2006 amateur draft. He will most likely slot in at the Orioles Triple-A affiliate in Norfolk with the organization wanting to upgrade at shortstop in the offseason.
Martinez has the most experience in his pro career at shortstop, although he has played second and third base as well as the outfield. He owns a career .258/.300/.348 line in 34 games in the big leagues.
Martinez's signing was first reported by Baseball America.
Os, Markakis continue to negotiate
BALTIMORE— It would be tough to imagine Nick Markakis not in an Orioles uniform next season. And after Thursday's latest batch of rumors, it's looking more and more like that's a scenario the O's won't have to worry about.
Markakis, a free agent for the first time in his career, has made it no secret he wants to remain in Baltimore and talks between his agent Jamie Murphy and the Orioles have picked back up according to multiple outlets. The Orioles immediately started negotiations with Markakis following their season, which ended in the American League Championship Series, and it appeared both sides were on the same page in working towards a new long-term deal. But the negotiations have taken longer than expected in working toward a four-year deal that would keep the veteran an Oriole through 2018.
On Thursday, CBSSports.com reported that the two sides rekindled on Wednesday and it looks like a deal could be reached fairly soon.
The 31-year-old Markakis is coming off a Gold Glove winning season and is a quiet leader in the Orioles clubhouse, taking over leadoff duties and priding himself on his durability in right field. Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette has said that re-signing Markakis wouldn't automatically take the club out of the running on one of their other major free agents, Nelson Cruz, as Baltimore is preparing to increase its payroll from this past season.
Showalter wins AL Manager of the Year
BALTIMORE— Orioles manager Buck Showalter was named the American League Manager of the Year by the BBWAA on Tuesday night, putting Baltimore's skipper in a special category following a spectacular 2014 season.
Showalter, who beat out finalists Mike Scioscia and Ned Yost, is the sixth manager to win the award three or more times and just the second —also Tony La Russa— to do it with three different organizations. He won with the Yankees in 1994 and the Rangers in 2004 and quipped he would definitely not be around in 2024 to see if the trend continues.
"I'm pretty speechless," said Showalter on MLB Network, where the award was unveiled live. "It's such a great reflection on our organization, our ownership that has been so rock solid."
Despite missing three All-Stars in Matt Wieters, Manny Machado and Chris Davis, Showalter's club exceeded expectations in going 96-66 and winning its first AL East title since 1997. He deflected praise to the players, saying they held themselves to a higher standard of preparation and play, mentioning several times that he was just lucky to get a good seat.
"It's fun to watch," Showalter said. "I am so thankful to get the opportunity every day. It's something I never have taken for granted."
Orioles centerfielder Adam Jones, who took to his Twitter account to post: "Bmore couldn't be prouder of u Showalter," also pointed out that this year's award was a Beltway sweep with Nationals Manager Matt Williams winning in the NL.
Williams called Showalter the most prepared manager he's ever been around in his acceptance interview and the O's skipper, who had Williams as a player, said he was glad Washington gave him the chance.
Showalter, who took over in Baltimore in August of 2010, has posted winning seasons in each of the past three years and finished runner up to Bob Melvin for the Manager of the Year award in 2012.
Showalter's managerial skills were best illustrated in his bullpen, which helped carry the O's through offensive lulls, much like 2012. Together with executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette —who was honored Monday night as the Sporting News Executive of the Year— Showalter manipulated the roster, sending starting pitchers down prior to the All-Star break just to add an extra position player for a game or two.
Showalter has 1,259 career victories in 16 seasons as a major league manager, the third-most wins among active managers. He is 377-328 in Baltimore and the third O's manager to be named Manager of the Year, joining Davey Johnson (1997) and Frank Robinson (1989).
A few notes
*Buck Showalter is a strong candidate for American League Manager of the Year, which will be announced tonight live on MLB Network. I stated the case for Showalter, who is going up against Ned Yost and Mike Scioscia, here.
*Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette was named The Sporting News "Executive of the Year" for 2014 and you can read more on that here.
*And finally, wishing the best of luck to Orioles public relations guy, Jeff Lantz, who is leaving the organization for a position with Minor League Baseball. Lantz, along with the rest of the O's PR staff, stepped up admirably this year with the passing of PR director Monica Barlow and he will be missed.
Cruz turns down Orioles qualifying offer
As expected, Nelson Cruz has declined the Orioles qualifying offer.
All 12 eligible players in baseball declined their offers today, and it basically means that Cruz will officially test the free agent market and that the O's get a draft pick as compensation should he sign somewhere else.
Hunter to play in Japan
Right-handed reliever Tommy Hunter will represent the Orioles later this month at the Japan All-Star series, which is made up five games between Major League players and Japan's national team, the Samurai Japan.
Hunter is one of 14 pitchers on the roster, managed by Boston's skipper John Farrell, with outfielder Adam Jones originally selected but unable to make it due to other commitments.
The All-Star Series will be preceded by an exhibition game on Tuesday and another one following the five-game series on Nov. 20. In between, the marquee matchup will take place from Wednesday through Nov. 18.
MLB Network will televise every game of the Japan All-Star Series live starting with Tuesday's exhibition game at 4:00 a.m. (ET). MLB.TV subscribers also will be able to watch every game live and on-demand across any of its supported devices. Each game will re-air later the same day at 9:00 p.m. (ET).
Hunter, 28, went 3-2 with a 2.97 ERA in 60 games for the Orioles. He allowed 20 earned runs over 60 2/3 innings with 11 saves.
The 29-man Major League roster includes 14 pitchers, three catchers, seven infielders, two outfielders and three infielders-outfielders. Here's the full roster:

5石獾(本章动物名字多不能确定。"石獾"传统翻译作"沙番"或"山鼠"),因为它反刍却不分蹄,你们应以为不洁净。 | 5And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. | 5 Verse 5. The coney] shaphan, not the rabbit, but rather a creature nearly resembling it, which abounds in Judea, Palestine, and Arabia, and is called by Dr. Shaw daman Israel, and by Mr. Bruce ashkoko. As this creature nearly resembles the rabbit, with which Spain anciently abounded, Bochart supposes that the Phoenicians might have given it the name of spaniah, from the multitude of shephanim (or spanim, as others pronounce it) which were found there. Hence the emblem of Spain is a woman sitting with a rabbit at her feet. See a coin of Hadrian in Scheuchzer. |

"Biomedical innovation is being fueled by a new paradigm to advance R&D through a combination of diverse, alternative sources of funding, non-traditional partnerships and greater collaboration among the biotech, pharmaceutical, the investment community and regulatory bodies," said Tracy Lefteroff, global managing partner, venture capital practice and national life sciences partner, PwC US. "Greater collaboration is driving investments in consortia that share information during the pre-competitive stage of research and development and in the post-marketing environment where opportunities exist to leverage consumer insights and patient safety information from multiples sources."
Short-term success over long-term progress
Nearly three-quarters of respondents said that coverage and reimbursement considerations are extremely important in the advance of biomedical research, innovation and investment in California. By comparison, only 39 percent of CEOs perceived reimbursement was a challenge in the prior year's biomedical industry report. The significant increase in reimbursement challenges is a potential reflection of higher expectations of value from consumers and payers, including federal and state government, employers and health plans.
"The long-term stability of life sciences is grounded in California companies' ability to innovate," Gollaher said. "From the start, our industry has adapted to formidable challenges -- gaining access to capital, overcoming regulatory and reimbursement obstacles. Based on a concentration of scientists and entrepreneurs unmatched anywhere else, our state is prepared to continue its biomedical leadership well into the 21st century."

As part of 150 birth anniversary celebrations of Swami Vivekananda, Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai, in collaboration with Ramakrishna Mission, New Delhi, and Global Institute for Stereo Vision and Research(GISR), Chennai, has launched a Stereoscopic 3D movie on Swami Vivekananda's historic Chicago speech at the World Parliament of Religions on September 11, 1893. The launch took place at Vivekanandar Illam.
The movie titled '9/11 – The Awakening' features important excerpts from Swamiji's speech on September 11. The movie and 3D website, 'www.vivekananda3d.org' was launched by the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) Director, Dr. Bhaskar Ramamurthy, on September 16 in the presence of Swami Gautamananda, Adhyaksha, Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai.
The speech, which began with 'Brothers and Sisters of America' throws light on India, Hinduism, world harmony, and religious tolerance. A realistic 3D model of Swami Vivekananda has been created for the movie, and motion capture technology has been used with an actor playing the role of Swami Vivekananda.
The movie also features 'The Empress of India ship' that Swamiji travelled during his journey to the West. It has been depicted similar to Hollywood animated-movies.
Excellent background score
The highlight of the movie is its excellent background score and the backdrop setup of the Parliament of Religions venue The Art Institute of Chicago, with an audience of 7,000 people.
The famous story of sea frog and well frog, as told by Swami Vivekananda, has also been depicted in the movie with live recording of sound effects to entertain children.
The 15-minute 3D movie will be screened every half-an-hour from 10.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and from 3.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. at Stereoscopic 3D Movie Theatre, except on Wednesdays.
Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai, as part of the sesquicentennial year celebrations, has already launched a Holographic Display System (HDS) and India's first 3D stereoscopic animated short movie on Swami Vivekananda.
The short movie is aimed at educating the youth of modern India about Swami Vivekananda, his life and teachings.It is a compilation of points taken from his lecture during his stay in Chennai from Feb. 6 to 15, 1897. For details, contact Vivekanandar Illam at 2844 6188. Website: www.vivekanandahouse.org

At home in the country: Art, nature side-by-side in Posey County
Nature, history and culture beckon in Posey County, a sprawling rural expanse in Indiana's southwestern corner.
Bordered by the Ohio River and Kentucky to the south and the Wabash River and Illinois to the west, it is home to a couple of popular natural attractions — Harmonie State Park and Hovey Lake.
And New Harmony, Ind., home to two 19th-century utopian communities, lives on in a contemporary celebration of history, culture and art.
The Hovey Lake Fish & Wildlife Area, off Indiana 69 south of the port city of Mount Vernon, Ind., boasts 6,963 acres, including a 1,400-acre oxbow lake, sloughs, marshes and bottomlands. Fishing, hunting, trapping, picnicking, hiking and wildlife watching are all permitted in specified areas with some restrictions.
Hovey Lake is also the site of a protohistoric Mississippian village that inhabited the area from about A.D. 1400 to 1700. Archaeologists have been studying the site since 1975, with 11 small-scale excavations. For more information on Hovey Lake, call (812) 838-2927.
Not far from Hovey Lake (ask a local for directions — it involves negotiating some gravel roads), Twin Swamps Nature Preserve provides trails and boardwalks through a 600-acre cypress and overcup oak swamp. It's a good place to get away from civilization and take in the wildflowers and birds, which include prothonotary warblers (sometimes call golden swamp warblers) and little blue-gray gnatcatchers.
Harmonie State Park, off Indiana 69 a few miles south of historic New Harmony, offers recreational access to 3,465 rolling acres of woods, fields and Wabash River shoreline, with cabins, campgrounds and activities, including hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, bicycling and horseback riding on bridle trails.
Park attractions include shelter houses and a large, outdoor public pool. For more information, call the park at (812) 682-4821 or check out www.in.gov/dnr online.
The city of New Harmony embraces its past and present with historic tours, distinctive modern architecture, contemporary art galleries, public art, live theater and music, fine dining, and festivals and special events throughout the year.
Historic New Harmony offers walking tours of buildings dating back to the early 19th century when two successive utopian societies established settlements there. The Harmonie Society, a German Lutheran separatist group led by George Rapp, established the city and remained from 1814 to 1825, when another group, led by Scottish industrialist Robert Owen, took over the town.
Today, New Harmony remembers its past through architectural preservation, but embraces the modern in nationally noted architecture as exemplified by architect Philip Johnson's Roofless Church and Richard Meier's Atheneum and Visitor's Center.
A circular hedge labyrinth is based on a Harmonists pattern that symbolized the twists and detours along life's path.
New Harmony has several art galleries, including the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art, the Hoosier Salon New Harmony and the Women's Institute and Gallery.
New Harmony Theatre stages a several professional (Actors Equity) productions each summer, and the New Harmony Project brings writers, directors and actors from across the country each spring to develop new scripts. And the Under the Beams series brings noted musicians playing classical, jazz and other genres to the historic Rapp-Owen Granary.
Annual events include the First Brush of Spring Paint Out, which brings hundreds of painters and art lovers each April; the Harmonie Hundred Bike Ride, a two-day event each May, as well as festivals and events dedicated to cars, crafts, arts, antiques, canoeing, the Fourth of July and Christmas.
For more on what's going on in New Harmony, call Historic New Harmony at (800) 231-2168 or check www.newharmony.org online.

What exactly IS a
person? What makes us people rather than animals or objects?
On my previous blog
post about consent this issue was raised by a reader in his comments. He argued
in effect that women are NOT people and that therefore human rights, or
consent, can't apply to them.
There's an obvious
difference between personality and 'personhood.' Certainly animals DO have
distinct personalities even though they're obviously NOT people at least in the
ordinary sense of the word.
Then there's the
question of maturity. A child is obviously not as capable, experienced or as
able to reason and make decisions as an adult. Are they less of a person than
an adult? Or is it just that adulthood entitles them to greater rights (and of
course also lays greater responsibilities on them)?
There's no doubt that
women, like animals, have personalities of their own. The question is whether or
not they also have 'personhood.' In effect, I suppose the question is – are women
Recent scientific
discoveries have shown that the biological differences between men and women
are much greater than was previously believed. Here are some key examples:
1 Both animals and
women have an oestrus cycle when the egg is 'produced' although in women this
is also overlaid with a menstrual cycle when the egg is 'destroyed.'
2 The DNA of women is
MORE closely related to apes than male DNA. Women are genetically CLOSER to
apes than men are.
3 A woman's vagina is
directly connected to her brain in a way and to a degree that is not true of
men and their penis.
4 Rape is the NORMAL
form of sex in the animal kingdom and even though that's not true of women in
the human world what IS true is that when a woman is raped her chances of
becoming pregnant are DRAMATICALLY higher. Most women who are raped also orgasm
which clearly shows that their body consented, wanted and preferred rape – the natural
way of fucking – to 'lovemaking.'
5 Evolutionary
scientists have also demonstrated that rape is not only MORE natural than the 'lovemaking'
that society approves of but that children born through rape tend to be
stronger, healthier and less likely to have genetic defects than children born
from 'lovemaking.' They believe that the sperm of rapists tends to be healthier
and stronger and that, biologically speaking, the rapist is doing the girl as
favour by giving her stronger and healthier offspring.
6 Women have smaller
brains than men which also function in a completely different way. It's no
accident that women as a whole (there are always a few exceptions all of which
turn out to have masculine characteristic and a higher share of male genes) are
less intelligent and less capable than men.
So can we decide on the
basis of this evidence whether or not women are people?
Genetically women are
closer to apes than men and so must be at least LESS human than men.
Women DO have an
oestrus cycle as well as a menstrual one so again they are MORE closely related
to animals than men are (and therefore LESS human).
Our cunts are directly
linked to our brains while a man's cock is not so once again women are LESS
human than men.
Rape shows again that
women are animals because men don't orgasm from being raped.
The inferior size and capabilities
of the female brain also show that women are closer to animals than men are.
So can we assert that
women are NOT human or simply that they're LESS human than men?
This question is
important for lots of reasons but perhaps most obviously because if women are
NOT human then human rights can't and shouldn't apply to them.
There seem to be five
basic ways of looking at the status of women.
1 The female
supremacists believe that women are superior to men which is obvious nonsense
2 Feminists believe that
women are equal to men which again is obvious nonsense
3 Women should be
regarded as being on the same level as children
4 Women are animals and
not human at all
5 Women are objects and
not human at all
There's a lot of good
arguments in favour of the third, fourth and fifth views. A child can't have
the same roles, responsibilities or rights as an adult but they still have
certain human rights.
Even if women are
animals don't we still have the idea that cruelty to animals is wrong?
So do we still have
some rights even if we're not human?
On the claim that women
are objects although it's sometimes fun as a fantasy I don't believe it.
Objects can't think or feel or do anything by themselves while women can. So we're
not objects.
So are we animals like
dogs cats, horses, pigs or whatever?
Women might have MORE
ape DNA than men but men have it too.
Basically my researches
and analysis led me to the conclusion that none of the five theories about
women are true,
1 Women are NOT
superior to men
2 Women are NOT equal
to men
3 Women are NOT
perpetual children because adult women can do loads of things that kids can't
4 Women are NOT animals
because they can do things animals can't
5 Women are NOT objects
because they can do lots of things and objects can't do anything
So what's the solution?
When you think about it, it's obvious, really.
We need a sixth theory
to explain women, which is:
6 Women are an
intermediate species; not fully human like men are but partly human and partly
animal. They're definitely a lower and less evolved species than men but their
intermediate status means that they DO have some human characteristics.
In my follow-up post I'll
examine what legal, moral and practical consequences follow from the
recognition of women as a separate semi-human (perhaps the words 'subhuman,' 'hominid'
or 'feminid' would be better terms) but inferior species to men in every way.
What should be the
legal status of the subhuman group the feminids?
How should their lives
among humans (i.e., males) be organised?
I'll look at these
issues in my follow-up post.

This suggestion is just to make arma's impaler have more synergy with tanks. Istead of having it deal an additonal 2% of damage in your max hp, Have it add 2% to your base damage off of your max hp.
Senior Member
So instead of adding 2% of your max HP to your damage you want it to add 2% of your max HP to your damage. Relog into the game, they will probably have implemented that by the time you get there.
There's a difference between having it worked in as extra damage, and having it worked in as base damage. Extra damage is all good, I'm not sure of it's physical or magic damage, but extra damage isn't used to calculate items or spells that use base damage as a value. Ex: Sheen or Trinity force. Having it add 2% of base damage to your attack power is different.
Razzle Dazzle
It should give 3.5% and be unique.
unless they changed it in a recent patch, atma's has always been adding base dmg
Really? I have to check that out, I can't believe I've made such a noob error if it didn't add base damage D:
If you've ever actually bought Atma's, you'll see a major spike in your character's listed damage, so this does work as you want it to.

1998 GMC Safari 3 Dr SLE AWD Passenger Van Extended
Prosgreat for hauling everything from small boxes to four wheelers and dirt bikes( had both in the back of it at the same time.) aside from when you turn it feels like your going to roll it it drives and handles very well for a tall vehicle. it has great towing capacity for rvs and trailers and with load shocks can handle a fairly heavy load. it has plenty of people space inside making it roomy and relaxing for long drives or just around town. Conssome parts can really bite into your wallet when going for repairs such as the fuel pump assembly it costs roughly 800$ in most places to get a replacement. this model has been discontinued since 2006 and parts are starting to get scarce for it which is a shame. and the fuel mileage is barley worth it having a 80L tank it can empty your wallet pretty easy in a week if you do alot of back and forth driving in town. but high miles are not as bad.
Its A Great Family Car And Or Busnes Car For Transporting Cargo — I owned one for 5 years put over 250k on mine til at 418 k it blew the front crank seal. i was disheartened when i sold it due to not having the money to repair it as i would still be driving it to this day. for a large van it was a pretty smooth quiet ride and did everything i needed it to do.
