To celebrate the 145th anniversary of the Treaty of Friendship and the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Thailand and Belgium, the Embassy of Belgium presents a concert by pianist Wim Mertens on Oct 31. It will be held in the Music Hall of the Art and Culture Building, Chulalongkorn University on Phaya Thai Road, starting at 7pm. Wim Mertens started composing music in 1980. Since then he has become known as an international recording and performing artist who has given several concerts, as a soloist and with his ensemble, all over Europe, the US and Central America, as well as in Japan and in Russia. The 60-year-old Belgian is also a composer, countertenor vocalist, guitarist and musicologist. He plays the classical guitar and sings with a characteristically high-pitched voice, using a carefully crafted personal language. He has more than 50 albums to his credit. Among his many popular hits are Struggle For Pleasure, Close Cover, Their Duet and Maximizing The Audience. Mertens knows how to please his public, from mainstream music listeners to more serious aficionados, by using mesmerising minimalist techniques with a romantic twist. The concert is by invitation only, but the Embassy of Belgium has reserved 20 tickets especially for readers of the Bangkok Post. Those who want to attend are required to email the embassy at firstname.lastname@example.com. be. Distribution will be on a first-come first-served basis.

ITâS A SHURE STAGE AT 40TH GMA DOVE AWARDS
The Show Goes On With 350 Microphones, 16 Wireless Channels
NASHVILLE, TN, June 18, 2009 â Broadcast live from the Grand Ole Opry on Gospel Music Television, the 40th Annual GMA Dove Awards relied on audio input provided almost entirely by Shure. A total of 350 microphones were allotted to the task, 16 of which operated on Shure UHF-R® wireless channels. Among these 16 channels, 12 worked with either KSM9 or Beta 58A® handheld transmitters used for performances by Shure endorsers, including Chris Tomlin, Third Day, Natalie Grant, and MercyMe. Grant â who appeared before the crowd with a KSM9 â also took home Female Vocalist of the Year honors, joining other Shure endorsers Casting Crowns (Group of the Year), her husband, Bernie Herms (Producer of the Year), and Third Day (Best Pop/Contemporary Album) as the evening's big winners. more

Mad River
Series that include this title
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentPerhaps not the strongest of the series, but the sympathetic portrayal of the loser killers was nicely done. I'm a little curious about the nature of the collaborative writing process mentioned in a note at the beginning of the book. "Sandford" evidently has a partner of some kind in producing these books.
The amazing thing about John Sandford is that after more than 30 titles he still retains his edge and almost every book he releases is well-crafted and engrossing. "Mad River" is a perfect example of this. A highly entertaining read.
Because this was a John Sandford book, it was a fast, easy read. But it is not as good as some of his past efforts. With regard to the police and the bad guys and who wins and who loses, Sandford is very cynical. You are reading fiction, you think,and it's like the author is saying "this is what it's really like, this is the reality". Yes, we all know that reality is different from fiction, but if a book is supposed to be fiction then it should stay that way.
Very entertaining, as usual from this author. The Virgil Flowers character has definitely grown on me, I wasn't too keen on him at first.

To prevent people from running all over town, boundaries are agreed upon initially, and anyone going outside these boundaries, even when chased, is automatically caught. Within the boundaries, hiding inside of houses is not allowed (before this rule was enacted, people would go inside, play Nintendo until they heard Ollie-Ollie-Oxen-Free, and then run out victorious).
Having drawn out the boundaries, everyone is divided into two teams. One team will be given five minutes to hide, and the other team will try to find them. A hider is caught when he is tagged by a seeker. Anyone caught must be accompanied back to a pre-appointed jail area. Once all of the hiders are caught, the game is over, and the two teams switch roles.
So what's the deal with the can? At the start of the game, a can is placed in a relatively open area, near the jail, and a ten foot circle is drawn around it in chalk. The seeker team has one and only one guard, who watches over the can. He can't however, go inside the circle except when chasing someone. The can is the key to the game... for you see, upon kicking the can, everyone in the jail not only goes free, but has a grace period to hide again (Note that the kicker does not get this grace period).
The seeker team is declared the winner when they capture everyone on the hiding team. The hiding team is victorious when the seekers give up and shout Ollie-Ollie-Oxen-Free.
There are several types of Kick The Can players (yes, sadly enough we classified people when we played the game):
Tree Climbing
Tree climbing can be used as an effective tactic for the hiding team for a number of reasons. First off, a tree climber can be difficult to spot initially, and if he climbs high enough in the tree, he can gain valuable insight into the shape of the playing field. Once spotted, catching the tree climber requires someone to actually climb up the tree after them, taking away a valuable athletic resource for the seekers. An added bonus, if the tree climber has chosen his tree carefully, is a secondary exit that the tree climber can use - jumping down into a bush, or into another tree - to escape capture, and leave a seeker stuck in a tree for a period of time.
The Vern Tessio Guard
Remember Vern Tessio from Stand By Me? Yeah, the kid who lost his jar of pennies. There's always one in every neighborhood, and since he can't really run very fast, he's often used as the guard. He can be taken advantage of. Have the people in jail taunt and distract him. Run by him several times to tire him out. Use the Two Pronged Can Attack. If the other team was smart, they'd have put a talented guard out there. But they're not, so take advantage of it.
Two Pronged Can Attack
When Vern isn't guarding the can, can kicking can be a difficult task. Diversion is your best tactic, but it requires teamwork. You need a Runner and a Sneaker to pull this off. The Sneaker gradually creeps closer and closer to the can. At the appointed time, a Runner comes out of nowhere and streaks by the can. If successful, he takes the guard far enough out of position so that the Sneaker can strike, kicking an unguarded can and setting everyone free.
Outright Cheating
While outright cheating is severely frowned upon, there's little harm in bending the rules a little bit now and then. After being chased for five minutes, wouldn't you like to take a breather? So, without anyone seeing you, go out of bounds, catch your breath for a while, and then come back in. Need to help out your guard a little bit? Casually walk through the can area. Remember: you're not a second guard... you're just passing through. Bending the rules here or there is one the keys to success.
The Inevitable Taunt
Not so much a tactic as just a part of the game, and worthy of being described here. While the manner in which the can is kicked is certainly not important, as any kicking serves the purpose of freeing those who are jailed, there is a certain knack to kicking the can in such a way as to taunt the other team. These include kicking it as far as possible (as it is the guard's job to retrieve the can), kicking it straight at the guard, or the ultimate taunt: Doing some breakdancing moves in the circle before kicking the can.
OK, so what are you waiting for? Get some friends, a can, and a piece of chalk and start playing. Seriously. Turn off the computer and go.

UPDATE: Leverett's Chapel ISD fire caused by electrical problems
On Tuesday, a Leverett's Chapel ISD concession stand burned to the ground, along with all of their baseball team's equipment.
Officials say the blaze was caused by an electrical problem in the concession stand.
It happened around 2 a.m. at the Leverett's Chapel ballpark off Highway 42.
A witness tells KETK that he heard a loud pop shortly before the building was engulfed in flames.
Among the items destroyed were bases, a pitching machine and several concession stand appliances. School officials plan to rebuild what was lost.
No injuries were reported.

this is a very nice knife set , every thing was what I thought it would be
I love red and collect alot of kitchenware and appliances that are red. These knives look great, however, they started to rust immediately after I wash them in the dishwasher. These has never happened before to my other knives. Farberware just needs to make better knives.
I am very impressed at the speed, accuracy, quality and overall experience in purchasing this knife block set. Over the past 2 months I have been shopping around and comparing pricing on new knives for my kitchen and this exact set cost more at Target and Wal-Mart than it did on here and is worth every penny I spent.
I am so pleased with the quality of these knives! They far surpassed my old set.
This knife set is sharp and matches my kitchen decor. They are exactly what I ordered.
My daughter had got one at her shower. I would use the knives and I liked the way they cut. So I went to Overstock and found what I wanted.
I love these knives. The color adds a pop to my kitchen counter and the knives themselves offer lots of variety. They are sharp and for the price I love this deal. I will have them for a long, long time as they are well made. I am very happy with them.
Knives are nice and sharp, but do not leave in water as rust spots will appear on the blade. So, obviously, not supreme quality, but ok for the price. I like the variety of knives, and other accessories.
This cutlery set looks nice on my kitchen counter. The knives are sharp and the shears really come in handy.

March 3 2015 Latest news:
Folkestone welcomes the Californians to the Skabour Festival
Reel Big Fish was one of the legions of Southern California ska-punk bands to edge into the mainstream following the mid-'90s success of No Doubt and Sublime.
Like most of their peers, the band was distinguished by their hyperkinetic stage shows, juvenile humor, ironic covers of new wave pop ska.
The group, who will appear at the Folkestone Quaterhouse as part of this summer's Skabour Festival, cultivated an underground following that broke into the mainstream in summer 1997, when their single "Sell Out" became a MTV favorite.
Their appearance in the movie "Baseketball" as the halftime band also gained them more fans and helped the bands popularity to grow. Still fronted by original lead singer and song writer Aaron Barrett, they continue to release albums and tour relentlessly, playing more and more countries and bigger venues across the world.

As it happened: Pistorius cross examination
Key Points
- South African Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius is being cross examined by the state prosecutor
- Prosecutor Gerrie Nel abruptly shows graphic image of Reeva Steenkamp
- Earlier Mr Pistorius told the court Ms Steenkamp died while he was holding her
- It is the athlete's third day in the witness box
- On Monday, Mr Pistorius made a tearful apology to the Steenkamp family
- All times BST
Welcome to our live coverage of the third day of Oscar Pistorius' testimony from the witness stand in his trial for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Yesterday, Mr Pistorius broke down as he spoke for the first time about the moments leading up to the fatal shots being fired and the events immediately afterwards. Judge Masipa ended proceedings early with the athlete's lawyer Barry Roux saying he could not "responsibly ask the court to carry on" because his client had been overcome by his emotions.
Sky News correspondent Alex Crawford tweets: #OscarPistorius Third DAY of testimony from the Bladerunner is about to begin. He is in the courtroom, looking v pale and drinking water

tweets: At #Pistorius trial. Emotional day yest as he broke down on the stand. We adjourned at the point of the gruesome discovery of Reeva's body.
Mr Pistorius is back on the witness stand now. We're just waiting for the judge to begin proceedings.
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
tweets: So… how soon before #OscarPistorius is cross-examined? Not that long, I'm thinking...
The judge has arrived and Mr Pistorius is about to resume giving evidence.
Mr Pistorius has resumed describing events in the toilet after he broke through the door and found Reeva. "I checked to see if she was breathing and she wasn't. I sat there crying for some time."
"I could feel the blood was running down on me," said Mr Pistorius.
"At a point I thought I heard her breathing. I put her weight on me so I could pick her up. I could see that her arm was broken." Mr Pistorius is talking very slowly as he tries to run through the events again.
"I placed her head down softly on the carpet. I saw that her cell phone was in the toilet so I tried to call someone but it had a pass-code on it that I couldn't access," Mr Pistorius says.
"I ran back to my bedroom to where my phone was next to the bed. Both my phones were there. I picked them up and ran back to Reeva."
"I then phoned Johan Stander, a friend on the estate. I asked him to come and help. I couldn't pick Reeva up. I was struggling."
"I was trying to pick Reeva up but I couldn't. I was fearful that I would hurt her more."
"I didn't really know what to do. I could see that she was struggling to breathe. I phoned 911. I don't recall speaking to the operator but I can remember him telling me that I needed to get Reeva to the hospital."
"I opened my bedroom door and I opened the front door [so he could carry Reeva through]. I ran back to my room and tried to force open a door [which was locked]," Mr Pistorius says.
"At that point I was screaming and shouting to get him to help me get her to hospital."
Sky News' Alex Crawford
tweets: #OscarPistorius is staring alot at the judge, unspeaking, long pauses. Says he went back to bedroom to get his own phones and returned to RS
"When I got down to the bottom of the stairs they told me to put Reeva down and told me the ambulance was on the way. I said: 'We need to get to the hospital. We need to get to the hospital.' They said to just put her down as the ambulance was on its way," Mr Pistorius tells the court.
"I sat there and waited for the ambulance to arrive. I had my fingers in her mouth to try and help her to breath," he says.
Mr Roux is asking Mr Pistorius to explain the why plastic bags were at the scene. The athlete says they were used to try and stop the flow of blood. "Ms Stander [Johan Stander's daughter] asked whether I had any tape or rope so she could tie Reeva's arm." Mr Pistorius says he went to try and find some.
The athlete is now talking about the arrival of a local doctor at his house. "He seemed overwhelmed by the situation," Mr Pistorius says. "Everything he told me to do I was already doing."
"He walked outside and I don't remember seeing him again. I was shouting for him to come back into the house and to help me."
"The paramedics then arrived and asked for some space to work so I stood up."
Can you remember going to the kitchen, Mr Roux asks. Mr Pistorius is taking a while to talk now. "Reeva had already died when I was holding her before the ambulance arrived so I knew there was nothing they could do for her."
"I stood back when they arrived. I stood a couple of metres away where the dining room and kitchen meet. The paramedic came to me and said she would like to inform me that Reeva has passed."
"The paramedic asked me for identification so I went and got Reeva's handbag. It was in my bedroom. I didn't go through it." Mr Pistorius says he took the handbag back to the paramedic.
Keith, in Dublin
tweets: I always wonder why they don't use lie detectors to help determine whether a person like Oscar Pistorius is guilty or not
"I sat on the counter in the kitchen and I don't know how much time passed but some police officers arrived shortly after."
"There were two officers. They weren't dressed in police clothing, they were casually dressed." The athlete says one of the officers came up and introduced himself but Mr Pistorius was unable to talk to him. "I was sat on the floor crying."
Another police officer asked if there was anybody else in the house and I told him there wasn't, Mr Pistorius adds.
"Every time I looked up there were more people in the house. There were people going up and down the stairs. I was standing in the kitchen against the far side of the kitchen. I asked the policeman if I could wash my hands because the smell of the blood was making me want to throw up."
"I saw [detective] Hilton Botha arrive. He immediately went upstairs. He came down some time later."
"I was stood in the kitchen for some time and Mr Botha came downstairs," Mr Pistorius says. A police officer told him that he needed to go to the garage where a police photographer would take some pictures of him.
"I was in the garage for several hours. I asked the police photographer if he could please take all the photographs he needed so I could take my clothes off because they were all just stained."
"From the garage I was taken to the foyer of the reception area of my home and a police officer came up to me and introduced himself. He told me he was a friend of a family member of mine and that I didn't have anything to worry about. That he was there to look after me. It was at that point they said because I was the only person in the house that they were going to charge me."
"They told me I was under arrest," Mr Pistorius says before describing being driven away in a police car.
A police officer told the athlete to put his head down as they left the estate because there was a lot of media gathering.
"I was taken inside a reception area [of the police station]." Mr Pistorius says he was there for some time as a doctor conducted various tests.
Mr Pistorius is now talking about phone calls from the police to his agent and his brother. "Did you phone any lawyer?" "No, I did not my lady," Mr Pistorius replies.
Mr Pistorius is now being asked to demonstrate the actions he used with the cricket bat to hit the toilet door. "I can barely stand on my stumps let alone hold a bat," he says about claims that he did not have his prosthetic legs on when he hit the door.
"The three sounds would have been the cricket bat hitting the door," Mr Pistorius says. He is now talking about evidence given by local residents about noises they heard on the night.
Geoffrey York, a reporter for Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail, tweets: #Pistorius is trying to challenge the evidence of neighbours before he is even asked about it. Roux stops him.
Mr Pistorius says there was about five minutes between the gunshots and the sound of the cricket bat hitting the toilet door.
"It physically can't be that amount of time, my lady," he says about claims there was less time between the noises. "If you look at the times the calls were made and many other facts points to five minutes," Mr Pistorius says.
Mr Pistorius is now acting out the motions involved with hitting a cricket bat against the toilet door. He is being asked to show the height that he could kick the door while wearing his prosthetic legs and how he would hit the door with a cricket bat.
Mr Pistorius: "The way I swung at the door, I used my entire body. It's very hard to demonstrate now."
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
tweets: #OscarPistorius says he watched the demonstrations by police forensics expert. "It wasn't a game of golf" he says. Not "natural" action.
"I don't remember how close I was standing to the door. I hit the door with all my might. The amount of force I was swinging the bat with I don't think any of the hits would have been similar," Mr Pistorius says.
"We are going to deal with the state witnesses not called by the state," Mr Roux tells the athlete and then shows the court an image of Mr Pistorius' house and other houses nearby.

tweets: Roux says statement from that house owner describes hearing "crying" and not "a woman screaming".
Mr Pistorius is telling the court that he is not friends with this neighbour and has never been inside their home.
Mr Roux moves on to another witness who did not hear a woman screaming. Mr Pistorius says he knows the man because they used the same developer to build their homes.
Geoffrey York, a reporter for Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail, tweets: #Pistorius is now quite calm and seemingly more confident as Roux describes supportive evidence from neighbours
Mr Pistorius is again telling the court that he is not friends with this witness but enjoys a good relationship with him as a neighbour. "We did not socialise together," he says.
Kate Forbes BBC News
tweets about Mr Pistorius' earlier evidence about using the cricket bat on the toilet door: "Oscar seems well prepared for this, making points about his position which answer prosecutions questions about marks on door."
Mr Pistorius is now being asked about the closest of his neighbours not called to testify by the state. This witness said she heard "loud crying" but not screaming.
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
tweets: Roux now seeks to show #OscarPistorius must have been on prostheses when Stipps saw a figure walking in his bathroom. Too short otherwise.
"I know it's a stupid question," Mr Roux says before asking Mr Pistorius if he would have fired the shots while on his prosthetic legs and then taken them off to break down the door. Mr Pistorius said he would not.
Mr Roux asks the athlete whether he at any point intended to kill Ms Steenkamp. "I did not intend to kill Reeva or anyone else," Mr Pistorius replies. Mr Roux then asks for a short break and the judge adjourns the court.

tweets: Barry Roux has skilfully led #OscarPistorius to explain point by point why (prosecution witness) neighbours are wrong

tweets: #OscarPistorius family source tells us athlete's description yesterday of shooting is "first time" he's managed to speak of it to them.
The court returns and Mr Roux says he has no further questions. Prosecutor Nel begins his cross-examination.
Mr Nel asks about his position as a sporting hero. "I made a mistake," Mr Pistorius replies. Mr Nel says: "You killed a person."
Grant Nicol
tweets: This is the moment that everyone has been waiting for - Nel vs Pistorius
"Let us get to the truth," says Mr Nel. "I'm here to tell the truth as much as I can remember," says Mr Pistorius. The athlete says he will not hide anything from the court as Mr Nel jumps straight into some tough questioning.
Mr Pistorius is now being asked about whether he knows what a "zombie stopper". Mr Pistorius says he does not. Mr Nel refers to a video shown on a news channel and asks to show it to the court. Mr Pistorius' lawyer objects to Mr Nel's line of questioning, saying it seems to be "ambush tactics".
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
tweets: Nel asks about "zombie stopper" - a type of gun. Wants to know if #OscarPistorius uses the phrase, mentions video footage showing it.
Mr Nel says the video is not part of his case, but part of his cross-examination and says he sees no reason why the video should not be shown. But the argument continues as Mr Roux says the law does not allow the State to introduce evidence that is not part of its case.
"As the court pleases my lady," Mr Nel says. The court is waiting for the judge's decision on the video here.
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
tweets: Judge Masipa leans forward, chin resting on hand. She's not had to make many rulings like this so far. #OscarPistorius
"If I can ask questions about a video then it is much safer for everyone if we can see the video," Mr Nel says. He is reiterating his argument, insisting that when he asked Mr Pistorius whether he wanted to see the video, the athlete said; "Yes." The judge says the court will take a few minutes to decide and with that, proceedings are brought to a halt once again.
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
tweets: So a flavour, in opening moments, of the highly combative style we can now expect from Nel in coming days against #OscarPistorius
Nastasya Tay, a reporter in Pretoria for the Independent, tweets: #OscarPistorius sits alone on the stand... No more strategy chats with Roux, now he's in cross exam.
Journalist Nastasya Tay
tweets: Here's the video they're fighting about. It's of #OscarPistorius firing the gun he shot Reeva with: http://bit.ly/1bR7u1a
It's just been announced that there will be a break in proceedings for half an hour and the court will resume at 10:30GMT.
To recap: the cross-examination of Mr Pistorius began this morning, with prosecutor Gerrie Nel immediately going on the attack. Mr Pistorius was asked about his status as one of the "most recognised athletes in the world." He agreed he had been an example to others "until I made a mistake." Mr Nel replied: "You killed a person. Say it: 'I shot and killed Reeva.'" It was an aggressive start from the prosecutor and Mr Pistorius is sure to face further tough questioning whether the contested video is shown or not.
The BBC's Milton Nkosi in Pretoria tweets: Drama as Judge Masipa decides to 'stand the matter down' until the defence is allowed to see the video first. Court adjourns again.
The judge said that both the defence and prosecution had a point so she has allowed Mr Roux's team to watch the video before the court reconvenes. It's unclear how long the trail will be adjourned for now.
The video in question is of Mr Pistorius at a gun range. The athlete is seen shooting at a watermelon and a voice in the background is heard saying: "It's not as soft as brains but ****, it is a zombie stopper." The video has been aired widely since it emerged so it's very unlikely that this is the first time Mr Pistorius' team have seen it.
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
tweets: Nel and Roux come back into court together. Wonder what they've been discussing… #OscarPistorius
Proceedings look like they are about to resume.
The judge has returned. Mr Roux is making a submission to the judge regarding the video. He is reading a letter submitted to the court by the defence team that says "our client has the right to a fair trial". Mr Roux says he obtained permission from the judge to discuss the video with Mr Pistorius. He says the defence team watched the video but Mr Pistorius has not seen it.
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
tweets: Roux says video should, and could, have been presented by state when they were making their case against #OscarPistorius
The court is now watching the Sky News report showing Mr Pistorius firing a gun at a shooting range. The report alleges that the voice that says "it's not as soft as brains but ****, it is a zombie stopper" is Mr Pistorius'.
Mr Nel is now questioning Mr Pistorius about the video. The athlete says the voice in the background is his but says that he does not see the relevancy of the video. He adds that he used the word "zombie" and was not referring to shooting a human being.
Mr Pistorius is now talking about the ammunition that was used in the gun. He says it was designed for trail walking to protect against animals.
Mr Pistorius is being shown a picture of Ms Steenkamp's head. "I know you don't want to see it but it's time to take responsibility," Mr Nel tells the athlete. "I don't have to look at the picture," Mr Pistorius says. "I was there." He is sobbing again now.
Mr Roux objects to "unfair questioning" from Mr Nel. The judge agrees and asks for the image to be removed from the screen. Mr Pistorius still appears in shock from seeing the photograph.
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
tweets: #OscarPistorius has head in hands now, crying. Gasps earlier from crowd in courtroom as Nel went on offensive.
The court has adjourned again now to give Mr Pistorius time to recover.
Aislinn Laing, a reporter in Pretoria for the Daily Telegraph, tweets: As judge walks out, Pistorius stands looking straight forward, away from public gallery. His psychologist is shaking her head angrily.
The BBC's Andrew Harding in Pretoria reports that it is the first time the courtroom has been deliberately shown a photograph of Ms Steenkamp's head injury. He says there was no warning to her mother, who is in court today, and adds that there is little sympathy for Mr Nel's provocative behaviour in the courtroom.
Pumza Fihlani BBC News
tweets: #Pistorius still weeping on the stand. Aimee [his sister] at his side trying to console him.
A clearly distraught Mr Pistorius has now left the courtroom with his psychologist. Again, it's unclear how long this break will be. The rest of the athlete's cross examination looks set to follow this pattern of frequent adjournments if prosecutor Gerrie Nel continues his aggressive line of questioning.
Mandy Wiener, a journalist with South Africa's Eyewitness News, says: "I don't think I've ever witnessed quite such an emotive, harrowing exchange in a courtroom."
Pumza Fihlani BBC News
tweets: Reeva's mother has told journos she understands why pic had to be shown. No doubt it was difficult to see her daughter like that. #Pistorius

Rebecca Davis, a journalist in South Africa, tweets: Nel's psychological-torture approach seems high risk to me, in terms of potentially alienating judge & engendering sympathy for OP?
The judge has returned to the courtroom.
Mr Nel picks up with his questioning and explains again what the video showed. He's talking about the cameras that were rigged up to show what effect the bullets had on the watermelon when it was shot. He asks Mr Pistorius why this was done.
@purplesammyx in Oxford, UK
tweets: This case will never end if they continue to adjourn every 5 minutes!!! #PistoriusTrial
Mr Pistorius says he was just spending an afternoon out on the shooting range with some friends. He admits that he wanted to see the effects of the larger ammunition on the watermelon.
Mr Nel asks whether the athlete was shooting at the watermelon to see what the effects would be if the same ammunition was used on a human being. "The comments I made on that day were distasteful but they related to zombies, not human beings," Mr Pistorius says.
Mr Nel now asking whether the evidence that Mr Pistorius has given so far is what he can remember or if it is a reconstruction of the events from what he has heard and read. Mr Pistorius says he has given evidence on a variety of things and told the truth throughout. "Some of it is a reconstruction from some of the statements that I have read. I can't remember how much time certain things took me. I've spoken about what I can remember."
"From the time I went to sleep to the time I took Reeva's life, there was no reconstruction afterwards. There are some points I don't remember from that evening," Mr Pistorius says. Mr Nel is pushing the athlete again about whether his evidence on events immediately before and after the fatal shooting was remembered or reconstructed. "My story hasn't changed," Mr Pistorius insists.
"The state's case has changed many times but there is nothing they have given me that has changed my story," the athlete adds.

tweets: The live tweets describing the cross examination in the #OscarPistorius trial are brutal... These are painful to read even from 10,000 miles away. She tweets again: I cannot imagine what it must feel like to be in that courtroom #PistoriusTrial
"Why are you arguing and not answering?" Mr Nel asks Mr Pistorius. Mr Roux jumps in to complain about the vagueness of some of the questions from the prosecution.
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
tweets: #OscarPistorius is quite talkative now… Showing signs of defensiveness which Nel will no doubt seek to exploit.
Sky News correspondent Alex Crawford tweets: Judge seems to be reining Nel in. He continues but is irritated about the objections and loss of pace
Mr Nel is now questioning Mr Pistorius about his bail application. The athlete says he has read the statement and knows what was said there. Mr Nel now asks about his plea explanation. Mr Pistorius is trying to recall what was in the submissions. The prosecutor is suggesting that there were inconsistencies between the athlete's earlier statements and his evidence.
Mr Nel is asking the athlete about fans he moved before hearing a noise coming from the bathroom. "If somebody said I was on the balcony to collect the fans that would not be true," said Mr Pistorius. "I was never on the balcony my lady."
Mr Nel again repeats his accusation that Mr Pistorius is arguing rather than answering his questions. Mr Nel says the athlete is "sitting there not listening to the questions, thinking about evidence".
Pumza Fihlani BBC News
tweets: #Pistorius a bit stuck. Wants to see his bail application. Nel accuses him of arguing and thinking of other evidence while trying to answer.
Mona in London, UK
tweets: This #Pistorius case is making me feel ill, must be heartbreaking for her family to hear this.
"I went on to the balcony to bring the fan in." Mr Nel reads Mr Pistorius' bail application and points out that the athlete said there was only one fan and that it was on the balcony, contrary to what Mr Pistorius just told the court. Mr Nel asks why only one fan was mentioned in the bail application but two fans in later statements. The athlete says only one fan was on the balcony and the other was inside the bedroom.
Mr Nel is quoting earlier questioning from a police officer, implying that Mr Pistorius said he was on the balcony when he heard the noise in the bathroom. Mr Roux objects and says the quote is wrong and does not represent Mr Pistorius' account. Mr Nel is now reading from the athlete's bail statement, in which it says he heard a noise after removing the fans. Mr Pistorius concedes that his account says he went on to the balcony despite not doing so.
Mr Nel seems pleased with the answer from Mr Pistorius and asks to break for lunch. The judge is happy to do so and the court is adjourned.
Pumza Fihlani BBC News
tweets: Nel will do what Roux did - go through the differences between statements, line by line.
Tom Peck, a journalist covering the trial for the Independent newspaper, tweets: "If you pick up a chair that's got one leg out on to a balcony, and you say you went out to get it, have you lied? This is the matter at hand."
More on the distressing image of Reeva Steenkamp's head injuries that was shown in the courtroom earlier. Mandy Wiener, a journalist with South Africa's Eyewitness News, says Ms Steenkamp's mother, June, was warned last week that the photograph would be shown and that she wanted Mr Pistorius "to see what he has done".
tweets: I doubt if there's anything more moving/shocking/compelling on twitter than @BBCAndrewH coverage of #PistoriusTrial
The BBC's Andrew Harding in Pretoria says the opening moments of the cross examination showed the highly combative style Mr Pistorius can expect from Gerrie Nel in the coming days. Mr Nel has more than 30 years' experience and is known for his no-nonsense attitude. But will he continue with his aggressive tactics? This morning his fierce questioning forced an adjournment as Mr Pistorius burst into tears and was given time to recover.
The judge has returned and proceedings are under way again.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel is still asking about Mr Pistorius' movements in the bedroom and the balcony, and differences between his statements in court and on his bail application. "Maybe I didn't pick it up at the time that they said I went onto the balcony.... I wasn't the one who drew my bail statement up," says the athlete.
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
tweets: #OscarPistorius admits an error in original bail statement, but says he wasn't there when it was drawn up. Suspect Nel won't let that go...
They are now addressing claims that police tampered with items in Mr Pistorius' home after the shooting. "I am not pleading not guilty because the scene was contaminated," Mr Pistorius says. "I am pleading not guilty because what I'm accused of didn't happen."
Mr Pistorius says a police officer unplugged a fan to plug in a mobile phone.
Kate Forbes BBC News
tweets: Back and forth semantics - 'tamper' 'disturb'. Nel is trying to break through #OscarPistorius prepared answers
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
tweets: Strong sense here in court of #OscarPistorius vulnerable without his legal team. Nel probing to show gaps between him and his experts.
Charl du Plessis Legal reporter at South African newspaper City Press
tweets: #Pistorius for the first time getting a little passionate about his defence.
The court is being shown a police photo of the side of Mr Pistorius' bed, displaying items including a fan, a vest, an extension chord and iPads. Mr Nel is asking about where the fans were plugged in. Mr Pistorius says he can't remember exactly but they were both working.
Mr Nel says Mr Pistorius' lack of clarity over the fans show he is lying. Mr Pistorius denies this, saying: "I'm under pressure here, it's not easy. I'm fighting for my life."
Pumza Fihlani BBC News
tweets: It might seem pedantic but Nel is driving to a point. Remember Roux did the same with the pics. The aim is to show discrepancies in stories
Mr Nel is asking why, in his bail application, Mr Pistorius talked about one fan, whereas in his plea explanation his talks about two fans. Mr Pistorius says he cannot change his bail application and that he is telling the court the truth.
Mr Nel accuses the athlete of using rehearsed answers and not listening to his questions. "It's not good for you," he says.
Mr Pistorius says he discharged his firearm "accidentally" as the result of being startled by noise. "I never intended to shoot anyone," he says. "I went to the bathroom to put myself between what I perceived as danger and Reeva... I shot because I believed someone was coming out to attack me."
Mr Pistorius says: "I pulled the trigger... I didn't have time to think about what was happening."
Amanda Davies, CNN
tweets: Been an absolutely compelling afternoon of cross examination in the #OscarPistorius trial. A very different person today to yesterday.
The judge intervenes to tell Mr Nel he can't ask Mr Pistorius why he is being emotional "now - when the questions are difficult". He has been emotional throughout, she says.
Andrew Harding Africa correspondent
We're going round in circles here, but it's a crucial point. #OscarPistorius
"I never said I didn't do it - I said I didn't deliberately do it," says Mr Pistorius. And with that the court adjourns for the day.

tweets: #OscarPistorius OP walks out the witness box holding water bottle and handkerchief... he hugs his brother and aunt
To recap on proceedings after the lunch break and before the court adjourned for the day, Oscar Pistorius has been undergoing a rigorous cross-examination in his trial for the murder of his girlfriend. Prosecutor Gerrie Nel highlighted discrepancies between the athlete's account in his bail application of what happened and his statements in court, such as the number of fans in the room. Mr Pistorius said he did not write the bail application and insisted he was telling the court the truth. He also said he fired his gun accidentally, saying: "I never intended to shoot anyone."
Earlier, Mr Pistorius said he made a "mistake" when he shot Reeva Steenkamp on 14 February 2013. The prosecutor pushed him to acknowledge the full magnitude of his actions, saying: "You shot and killed her won't you take responsibility?" A graphic picture of Ms Steenkamp's head injuries were also shown to the court, prompting anguish from Mr Pistorius and a further adjournment to the trial.
We are now winding down our live updates on Wednesday's proceedings in the murder trial of Oscar Pistorius. You can find all the latest on the case here.

Every point vital for JJ
Hearts manager Jim Jefferies was frustrated after the goalless draw with Motherwell.Hearts have only won once in their last six games after the draw which sealed the visitors' place in the top six of the SPL.Jefferies said: "It just wouldn't settle around and about the box."The nearest we came was Craig Thomson's free-kick and the goalkeeper made the only real save of the game."It wasn't happening for us and it wasn't for lack of effort."We could've won it, but we could have lost it as well with them being very, very dangerous on the break. Every point is vital at this stage of the proceedings."

Thompson, Dray | |
Taxicab geometry is essentially the study of an ideal city with all roads running horizontal or vertical. The roads must be used to get from point A to point B; thus, the normal Euclidean distance function in the plane needs to be modified. Article abstract: A natural analogue to angles and trigonometry is developed in taxicab geometry. This structure is then analyzed to see which, if any, similar triangle relations hold, and an application involving the use of parallax to determine the exact (taxicab) distance to an object is discussed. | |

But with Bush in the governor's mansion, Codina leading the trustees, and a top-down corporate structure in place, Maidique -- called a "CEO" under the governor's reorganization -- saw FIU poised to grab a fuller share of education monies. And he campaigned hard against Amendment 11, saying it would "bring back a governance system that blocked the development of Florida International University for three decades."
Alas, the future is now uncertain. But Maidique says he will continue to tell his Republican brethren that when it comes to education, "taxes" is not a dirty word. "The people of the state want to invest in education," he said last week. "You have to raise taxes. And I will continue to give that message to the governor."
While Maidique may be disappointed in the vote, many FIU faculty are relieved, seeing the creation of a Board of Governors as a buffer against what some thought was the Republicanization of FIU. Five months ago, low-profile Metropolitan Center director Jim Rivers, a research sociologist, was ousted and replaced by controversial political science professor Dario Moreno, an outspoken consultant, pollster, and media star who makes no secret of his GOP leanings. Moreno's mission is to turn the research organization, located in downtown Miami, into an urban think tank active in local politics, especially as an arm of the Miami-Dade County Legislative Delegation. Replacing departing delegation chair Sen. Kendrick Meek, a Democrat bound for the U.S. Congress, is state Rep. Rene Garcia, a Hialeah Republican and former Moreno student.
"If this is a movement to politicize FIU, and make the Metropolitan Center do that kind of work, it would be a great concern to the faculty," said sociology professor Betty Morrow, a former union president. Added history professor Howard Rock, chair of FIU's faculty senate: "I hope the institution is not identified as Republican or Democrat. That would be very bad. The faculty would oppose that."
Not to worry, says College of Health and Urban Affairs dean Ron Berkman. "I made it very clear that the role of the Metropolitan Center is neutrality in research," cooed the dean, who, like a majority of FIU's faculty, is a Democrat. "There are always people who are going to come in and want research to come out a certain way. But that is not going to happen here."
Also creating a buzz among the faculty is the future direction of FIU's respected Cuban Research Institute, where founding director Lisandro Perez is being eased out after twelve years at the helm. "It would not be truthful to say there is nothing going on," said Perez, a political liberal who has been urged to concentrate on immigration studies and avoid controversial programming until he begins a sabbatical next fall. "I don't know if there is an agenda. But [my leaving] would be consistent for an administration that would like to be more [in tune] with the political culture of the community."
And of course, when politics surface, academic freedom becomes a concern. Coincidentally Maidique began his remarks at the University Park town hall meeting last week with a reference to academic freedom; he recounted the busy morning he spent fielding protests from citizens, chiefly Cuban Americans, objecting to the appearance later that day on the Biscayne Bay campus of a Cuban revolutionary on a U.S. book tour.
Despite "hundreds of calls, insulting me, my forebearers, my mother," and two threats to withdraw their children from the university, said Maidique, he supported the right of Victor Dreke Cruz to speak. And, to the chants of protesters, Dreke did speak.
Given the recent debate over Amendment 11, union president Joan Baker found those remarks ironic. "On the one hand, Mitch defends academic freedom in the sense that most of us appreciate it," she said. "But that didn't seem to apply to the Graham Amendment, when he clearly made his displeasure known." In one exchange prior to the election, Baker said Maidique questioned her loyalty to the university "in a way that sounded like the old 'America, love it or leave it' days.
"I am passionately loyal to the university," said Baker, "and I personally took great offense."
Maidique admits that the debate over the amendment was heated. But he denies any lingering hostility. "A university," he said, "is about disagreement."

Sven hints at change
02 Jun 2006 - 16:30:58
England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has hinted that he will use a different formation for Saturday's friendly international against Jamaica.
It is widely believed that the Swede will revert to a 4-4-2 formation for the game after experimenting with Steven Gerrard in attack and Jamie Carragher in midfield for Tuesday's 3-1 victory against Hungary.
Peter Crouch is likely to partner Michael Owen up front with either Carragher or Owen Hargreaves replacing the injured Gary Neville at right-back.
"We will play a little bit different tomorrow from Tuesday," confirmed Eriksson.
"Gary Neville has a small problem with one leg so the doctor, together with me, took the decision to take him out of training. He will be OK on Monday, no problem.
"I don't want to talk about formations - but it will be maybe different from the last game. In those friendly games (against Hungary and Jamaica) we are going to try two different ways of playing, which we are going to use during the World Cup."
Meanwhile, Eriksson is pleased with Wayne Rooney's progress in his recovery from his metatarsal injury.
The Manchester United striker was able to kick a ball with both feet during training on Friday morning, and Eriksson added: "I'll have the report (on Rooney) later on. If he kicked balls earlier on then I'm pleased. I'm very happy.
"I think we'll have to wait until Wednesday, June 7 to see if he makes the game (against Paraguay). From today he'll practice with us, with our physios.
"He's been working, really, really hard to do everything possible. He's not put on any weight, which is very good."

i really liked reading your poem^^ keep up the good workD
A Genius In The Making
Younger Meji, wrapped in cloth..
.. No one could foresee his skin so soft..
A little boy born with brown hair
as he grows up he'll take every dare
He cannot be beat, this seems to be true
Laughs at the pain that has always ensued
Mid-life screen, the boy acts foolish
Elementary school term, the boy seems abolished
Never fitting in, medication taking over
Boy reacts to situations, his emotions not sober.
Within the boy lies a genius at hand
He cannot live like this, lost is his ability to withstand
Determined to be recognized ha cannot lose
Medication now gone, his emotions short fuse
Learning control, teenage age..
Meji tries to suppress, his undying rage
Having it rough, things seem not right
As tough as he is, he's never won the fight.
Sixteen years old, Karate has helped
The beast inside, beaten it whelps
Mellow now, and sleepy in class
Meji answers regardless, determined to pass.
Revered by some, he's made his path
Can't look back he's happy with that.
I.Q. One twenty-one
All he wants now is to have some fun.
Earning his friends, it's been so hard
Given his past it's been surprising so far
Like a phoenix revived he's back from the ash
Won't get rid of him so quickly, it's not his time to pass
Death seeks him out its happened before
Can't seem to shake him, the only battle he scores
One, two, three, no four. Time's he was suppose to die.
God keeps watch over his genius, must have something important for this guy
Fallen in love with a girl named Lauren, he tickles her nose.
Keeping in his mind that he thinks she knows.
Undecided on what to do he wavers to tell
His feeling to her he can't seem to spell
Genius in the making has so much doubt
He suffers so much trying to figure life out
He wonders why people are so troublesome
He wonders why life is oh so bothersome
Still for that girl he continues to live
Ready to protect her when his time comes to give
His life is rich, probably the best to be had
He's not rich, not poor but in love it's obvious to be said
Love is a great thing love is to be had..
Once he was stupid just to think it was a fad.
Chased before just to be put down
This time he thinks he's found solid ground
Finally the genius is coming to an end
His life finally coming to a bend
Death failed in his ability to take
His determination to have the dream he made
Finally recognized. Finally heard.
His soul finds solace in watching only one girl
He's found his purpose he's found his peace..
He's found what it is, what being a genius truly means.
Yeah yeah, it's a love poem. I had to do it, it's actually my life story up to this point. ^_^ I guess with some guitar and a proper beat it could be a song but it was meant for a poem >_< A... really long poem >_<
i really liked reading your poem^^ keep up the good workD
I'm the best you'll ever have because i am that f*ing AMA-zing chic who can stand on her own d*n feet and becasue of you I am the Greatest Thank you so much SasuraiHell and Gwen
Thanks, I'm really proud of how it came out as I read it. I was worried that with those words I used that were similar but not rhyming would throw the rhythm off or that the "One, two, three, no four. Time's he was suppose to die." would throw off rhythm as well but, It actually made it that much more better... Ohh, shit.. That was bad grammer "More better" That poem must've taken it out of me xD
That was a very good poem.I didn't like some of the rhyming,I find it to be off a bit.
But,it was,overall pretty good.
Become a wind, unfathomable distress. I'll hold back your loneliness.
Yeah, as I stated some of it I thought would be off. (I may have read it in a different rhythm that made it sound good)
Man, I wrote a poem that was about a fourth the size of this, and was told it was long... I disagreed, wishing I could've shown them an example of what "long" truely was. And here it is...
So genius eh? I get annoyed by that title when its self proclaimed (even if its a fact)... I find it to be cocky, but thats because I have a friend who refers to himself as genius. Meh...
Anyway... I really liked the bulk of the poem (I must say I preferred the first 7 stanzas)... But there were some sentences I thought were worded funny. And a few rhymes that didnt quite flow well... But nothing that would really tarnish the luster of the poem overall.
... Not Ever Again...
Well, I have been told I'm a cocky person, at the same time the title isnt completely self-proclaimed in my case. I'm just 19 points off of Genius on the IQ chart and my teachers tell me I have quite the large mind and that they think I don't operate to my full potential so I guess I could be considered a genius but I'm not going to boast it >_<

The Federal Government's White Paper on Homelessness, The Road Home: A National Approach to Reducing Homelessness (White Paper), proposed the introduction of new legislation that would "underpin the national response to homelessness, setting standards to deliver the best quality services possible".
In June 2009, the Minister for Housing referred the inquiry into homelessness legislation to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Family, Community, Housing and Youth (Committee). The Committee's terms of reference were to inquire into and report on the content of homelessness legislation.
Occupy protestors have a right to protest; police powers to move them on from public spaces should be questioned. RynChristophe/Youtube
When police removed a young woman's "tent dress" this week at the Occupy Melbourne encampment, it was yet another controversial interaction between protesters and authorities.
Few economic challenges are as potentially destabilising as threats to currencies – or exchange rates. German history, including the rise of Hitler, was a shattering response to the hyperinflation that destroyed savings in the 1920s. Assets had been destroyed by a currency that in Nov 1923 traded at 67 billion to the US dollar. Inflation that meant money was carried in wheelbarrows; and one needed more and more barrows.
Ever since that time, German unions, businesses and households have been inflation averse to a very marked degree – which made the 1999 Euro decision understandable in non-inflationary times, but unwise given widely divergent economic conditions across Euro nations and an uneven level of fiscal discipline across many European countries.
Competition… at any cost?
So, Heinz has made a bit of a fuss about the growth of private-label or in-house brands in our major supermarkets. According to Fairfax publications, "William Johnson, executive chairman, CEO and president of the $US16.4 billion Pittsburgh-based Heinz, told investors the company has had to rework its strategy in Australia to cope with the growing domination of private label goods and the never-ending discounting on branded goods by the supermarket chains," with Mr Johnson labelling Australia as the "worst market" to do business. Obviously, Johnson and other national brands should be doing everything they can to try and deal with this growth in supermarket private-label brands. It is in their interests to have as much of their product on the supermarket shelves as possible.
