I wasn't sure how to play this opening, it is a combination of the slav/queen's gambit declined mixed with a gruenfeld. What are white's plans and how should you continue?
These were my first few moves. Should white be preparing e4 here or just continue on the queenside?
The schlecter slav isn't very tricky for white. Perhaps the biggest trick you need to know is just how not tricky it is, so that you don't rush in and attack a solid position too hastily.

Anyone else due July 2014?? I'm due the 4th!!
It looks like we would need two co-leaders to volunteer to open the July DDC according to this post. Anyone up to volunteering?
Yay! Congratulations to you, too!!!
Are you feeling any symptoms yet? I have been testing every day, watching the line get darker but I can't do that forever unfortunately. I guess I'll try to rely on symptoms so I can taper off my testing. :)
I am !!!! just found out an hour ago...after looking through the forums for things like 'pregnancy symptoms while breastfeeding' lol!!!!
*head still spinning*
I made my first appointment, too! Actually it's more like an interview, since I haven't met this particular midwife before.
Yes, I think Christmas time makes sense to tell people... I wonder if I can hold out that long. I want to tell everyone!!
Oh wow, congratulations!!
I just tested this morning. It looks like I'm due sometime in mid-July. I can't find my calendar with the exact dates, but it's somewhere around the 15th. Very excited there are July mamas around already!
Does anyone want to volunteer to be the group leader of the July 2014 DDC with me? I think we need two volunteer leaders.
Ah! My people! I got 2 + on the 28th but they were so faint and showed up so late (technically within the testing window, though) that I wouldn't get my hopes up. As of today, the line was significantly darker and showed up faster. So, wonderful! It is just now beginning to sink in.
--As far as symptoms, they have been much more subtle and PMS-like than my first pregnancy, to the point that I absolutely believed I was not pregnant. Contrast that with my first baby, when I KNEW I was pregnant even when I was still getting negatives.
I'm so excited for the DDC to open! What exactly does being a group leader entail? Sometimes I have spells where I am do not even have net access, so I'm not sure if it's something I can do. In any case, I hope it opens soon. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you.
Being a group leader is pretty minimal. You just accept new members if it's a closed group (which ours wouldn't be). You don't moderate the boards or anything. It mostly just a title thing so they have people to get the group going, as far as I can tell.
Let me know if anyone is interested!
We're due *sometime in July* -- dates are a little tricky this time as I'm BF our 7.5-month-old, was having 17-day cycles, and then BAM - nothing. Sooo....yes.
I may consider being a moderator for July 2014.....just be forewarned that I'm not constantly attached to the internet - I do have a life away from the outside world.
ETA: I'm not available for nights or weekends - that's specifically family time.
LilyTiger, APBTlover, and JonsWife, congratulations! So happy to see more July mamas!!
Kittymom, yay! Congrats!! I'm 40 also.
Who else is already having symptoms? I can't tell if I'm actually having symptoms or just recovering from a really stressful round of traveling and then work. I was super sweaty today, which seemed a little odd and I've been having really tiny bursts of nausea, but they don't last long enough for me to be sure they're not in my head. I'm really hoping I can get my exercise and diet under control again after my travels in the next week or two before the real first trimester gross-ness kicks in. I'm only about 3-4 weeks (due July 15) and I can't remember when I started having symptoms last time, but it wasn't until 6-7 weeks I think.
Yes, I feel like I am pacing around waiting for the group to open, too. :) My only "symptoms" are things that could also just be natural variations in preference (for instance, suddenly wanting to eat meat at every meal) or just in my head (fleeting moments of nausea, peeing more often some days, emotional wreckage!). This wouldn't bother me if I hadn't had such clear symptoms with my first, before the + even started showing up. I have one more test lying around, so I think I'll be taking it in the morning just to see what's going on.
HI I am due 7/3 (at least according to the apps I have). This is my first so I am really nervous about everything. So far I am mostly just tired, though I noticed my sense of smell is stronger.
Hi, again. I can't shake feelings of concern. I got my BFP at 9 days dpo, and was thrilled. I am 40, and I did have 3 losses before my 9.5 year old DS. I spoke to the doctor, a well regarded maternal-fetal medicine specialist, on Saturday, and he was talking about the possibilities of chemical pregnancies, etc...
Also, he raised my progesterone from 100 mg to 400 mg! It is divided into twice/day, but a bit after I take it, I am wiped out for a while. I am not safe to drive (I even needed a ride home from the grocery this weekend and left my car), and really can hardly stay awake. It has to be twice/day, and I can't afford to be hit by it during work, so, today I am going to try taking it 30 minutes before leaving the office, and then waking at around 3:00 a.m. for the second dose.
Aside from stuff from the progesterone, I thought I was getting more symptoms, such as nausea, but now I don't think I am, which worries me. Plus, what if the low dose of the bipolar meds I'm still on cause something bad to happen (yes, it is with the doctor's ok, but...).
I will be going for a quantitative hcg test at the end of the week. Then, on December 6th, we get our first ultrasound...checking for "viability." I want my baby (babies? for some reason, I can't get the possibility of twins out of my head) to be okay. At the moment, I am a worried mama.
Thank you for reading. My dp is very supportive and very much wants this, but he is not very concerned and he also sees early pregnancy different that I do.
I also tried red raspberry leaf tea, and felt a bunch of contractions for a while, so I am going to wait to try that again. Should I have a plain nettle tea, do you think?
As you can see, my thoughts are all over the place, but very much orbiting the life in my uterus.
- Kittymom
Congratulations, cluelessLily!
Kittymom, I'm sure a lot of us can relate to the worry. It is really hard having so little control over this. Did taking the bigger dose work out OK with you at work today so far?
ugh, Kittymom, that sucks about the progesterone. I didn't know it had that effect, but I guess it makes sense.
And congrats, cluelessLily! We have sort of matching names!
It looks like my EDD is around July 15th, though technically July 13 because I have a shorter cycle. I'm fine with the later date though for maternity leave reasons, etc. I have my daughter's 15 month appointment tomorrow, so I'll ask my doctor any questions then and I'll probably call our midwifery group this week to make an appointment for around 9 weeks. Any other plans yet?
Hi Mamas!! I have an edd of 7.10. This will be baby number 4 for us. We have three girls who will be 7,5, and just turned 3 when baby arrives. I don't know if I am hoping for a boy or not. I know girls, and adding a boy to the mix freaks me out a little bit. ;)
We actually thought we were done having kiddos, but apparently plans have changed. I am 38 years old and I went through a miscarriage in April of this year, so I am a little gun shy this time around.
Can't wait to get to know you all!! And wishing you all wonderful and healthy pregnancies!
I am due July 12 with my first! I have had two positive tests, and will get my beta results this afternoon. I have had a long, hard battle with infertility, and can't believe I am really here!

Anybody in Cal have New Guinia Impatiens live over winter?
I bought a nice understated New Guinea Impatiens in a gallon pot. Its been so many years since I tried one..they were all yellow with green stripes back when,that I cant go on that. I have had the common six pack Impatiens live for years- at least three so far on my front porch- even this winters freeze didn't kill them off.
So, are the NG plants perennials?
edit: I did find a soucalian who has one for five years now. Any bay areans? Or other soucal people?
This post was edited by stanofh on Sun, Jul 7, 13 at 16:09
I was able to keep a pot of them alive, also through freezing-I live in a canyon in the mountains with its own micro climate- and just like onderw said, they're alive and blooming but not nearly as pretty. Mine were actually kept over winter by accident- I totally forgot about them and left them untouched from Jan-Apr when I noticed new leaves. I find that a lot of my plants don't follow the zones up here :-)

Budget main focus of meeting
Tax rate, jail standards part of discussion
Wichita County's proposed 2010 budget weighs a lot of factors — from jail standards and rising population to the sheriff's pay referendum to rising benefit costs — and includes a nearly eight-percent increase in property taxes for Wichita County residents.
The proposed tax rate for 2010 at this point is $0.480799 per $100 valuation, meaning the owner of a $100,000 home would pay roughly $48.08 more in property taxes. The rate is almost five cents higher than the current property tax rate.
The increase, which would bring about an additional $2.5 million to the county, would go toward covering salary costs, increased operating expenses and loss of other revenue.
Wichita County Judge Woody Gossom walked through the factors that have contributed to the county's need to raise the rate. Monday brought three public hearings on the proposed tax rate, including one during the regularly scheduled Commissioners Court meeting.
"If you look at this budget, it's actually less than last year," he said of the overall picture.
However, the news that came in about the decrease in property tax base was a critical factor for the county. The tax base grew steadily year after year through 2007, Gossom said. In all his years as county leader, he had seen growth in that area.
"And everybody likes that," he said.
Growth continued into 2008, and then suddenly, the figures showed a drop from $6,190,000,000 to $6,078,000,000.
The loss of Saint-Gobain Vetrotex had the greatest impact, he said, and there was other industrial loss, as well.
The November vote on the sheriff's pay referendum accounts for nearly two cents of the increase, Gossom said.
The county's revenue from investment interest has been down, and although that area appears to be recovering, about half a cent of the increase would go toward making up the decline when it comes to Wichita County's contribution to the Texas County and District Retirement System.
While the county included a $100 across-the-board salary increase for employees other than elected officials in 2009, an across-the-board raise is not part of the picture for 2010. As county leaders considered that issue this year, concerns about jail staffing and rising population numbers hit the county, as well.
Gossom wrote in his preface for the proposed budget the effort will be made to adjust salaries according to the scale in the Sheriff's Office in the future, and to then place all personnel on a cost-of-living and merit system.
District Attorney Barry Macha's budget initially included a goal of raising salaries five percent for employees in his office, plus greater raises for investigators, who are law enforcement officers. Gossom said Macha, recognizing the economic conditions, later withdrew the item asking for the office-wide increase, but his budget left in the increase for the investigators.
Across the county, personnel costs make up most of the budget, Gossom said.
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards has also made its requirements clear on staffing and on having no inmates placed on the floor when the population in the jail rises. That means Wichita County must send some of its inmates to facilities in other counties when it has no room for additional arrivals, and that carries its own set of expenses. Saturday, the population in the Wichita County Jail hit 590.
Measures — both short-term and long-term — are in the works to help with the jail population issues.
The goal for the budget is to stay within the eight percent increase allowed before a roll-back election would be a possibility.
Gossom said County Treasurer Bob Hampton "works that money hard." At the same time, "money's not making money," he said.
The county is seeing many people not able to pay fines that are assessed in their court cases; fines and fees have gone down.
This year is tough, next year will be as well, and while the county is fortunate to have reserves, 2011 could be "dicey," Gossom said.
"We've got a resourceful team of leadership," he said. Leaders are looking for ways to bring in money and make things work.
One positive at this point is that construction costs have been down.
The county will also likely hold off on some projects, such as putting in a new financial software system.
Precinct 2 Commissioner Pat Norriss recognized that while Wichita County doesn't collect sales taxes, those revenues were down in the cities within the county, and that also has an impact.
Overall, "I think it's a very good budget," she said, adding that she appreciated the work that has gone into it.
It has been a "team effort," Gossom said.
The Commissioners Court is set to consider the budget Aug. 31.
In other business
Also Monday, the commissioners voted to table a resolution requiring rural property owners to mark their properties with the full addresses or numbers only to enable emergency responders to find the properties more quickly. They wanted time to go over the specifics that would be involved and to be able to talk with some others, such as representatives of volunteer fire departments. They plan to pick up the issue again during the first half of October.

Jones delighted to silence critics
May 29, 2010
Ireland wing Tommy Bowe was delighted to break Leinster hearts at the RDS © PA Photos
Ospreys captain Ryan Jones said his team went some way towards lifting their underachievers tag by winning the Magners League title at the RDS.
Despite winning the league for a third time, the star studded side have been accused of not fulfilling their promise in the past, but in beating Leinster at their south Dublin fortress, Jones reckons the Swansea based side proved their worth.
"Look, we've come here to do a job and we're unbelievably fortunate to be able to do it," he told Setanta Sports. "This is a fantastic rugby arena, the crowd are very vocal, but they appreciate good rugby. It was a fantastic rugby occasion.
"We seem to become team everyone loves to hate at times, but the guys have risen have above it. They produced a fantastic display today and obviously If they are lucky enough to be going on tour, then they can tour with heads held high.
"I think so, it's not something we worry about. We haven't given ourselves that tag but it is something we're keen to shake. We worked extremely hard for each other and at times we did play some flashy rugby but it was great to back it up with a win."
Try-scoring winger Tommy Bowe may have broken his fellow countrymen's hearts, but he didn't seem to mind as he reflected on a superb season that saw him named Players Player of the Year in both Wales and Ireland.
"It's brilliant, brilliant," he said. "It's a great end to the league, a great campaign. For the top two teams to play and for us to come to Leinster's home ground and beat them, it's great for Ospreys rugby.
"It's been a great year, I've really enjoyed myself and it was a great way to cap it off. We believed there were two very good backlines up against each other. We know that we're a very good team when we get good bal and I think we showed that. It's great for us to come here and win, it's a very difficult place to come and get a result and to win the final was very special."
Outgoing Leinster coach Michael Cheika and the retiring Malcolm O'Kelly and Girvan Dempsey didn't go out on the high note they had wanted, but the Australian paid tribute to the victorious Welsh side.
"Rugby's not a fairytale," he said. "It's about two teams working hard and doing the best they can on the park. It wasn't about anybody, tonight was about topping off a good season with a trophy but we weren't able to do that because we didn't play well and the other team outplayed us, especially in the first half.
"I think it's more of a disappointment really, the better team won. We didn't play well, we clawed our way back but made too many mistakes and weren't accurate enough in defence and the Ospreys took advantage.
"We got our way back and could have got closer, we got back but you have to take every opportunity you get and we made too many small errors. To win finals, you have to be at the top of your game and the Ospreys took the chances that presented themselves and we haven't."

broken young dwarf apple salvagable?
managed to snag a 1-1/2 year old dwarf apple with my trailer, broke it off right at the graft. about 1/2 the bark was still intact.
I staked it up and taped the break with grafting tape.
any chance it'll actually survive? up until yesterday it was a very healthy tree that I was looking forward to gettting fruit from next year.
If it has a vascular connection, hasn't wilted, it is possible it could repair itself enough to survive. Leave it taped for now, support it with the stake, and see what happens. Long term, if it lives, you will need to keep it permanently staked, IMHO, because it will always be very weak at the break. But many of the very dwarfing root stocks make very weak trees that need staking, anyway, so that's probably not a big deal.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Dahr Jamail | 09 Mar 2013 12:17 GMT | Human Rights
Baghdad - The first thing Haifa Abdul Majid did after being told I wanted to speak with her about her experience as a refugee in her own country was to, incredibly, express her gratitude for the fact that she has food."First I thank God because we are finding some food and can eat, unlike many other countries where people cannot even find food," the 55-year-old grandmother said while holding her arms to the sky in thanks. But the reality of her situation was quickly evidenced by her inability to offer the usual large repertoire of sweets, cookies, and other welcoming treats for guests, as is the usual custom in Iraq. Instead of the aforementioned, she offered a glass of water. Haifa has been living as a refugee in a corner of the Adhamiyah district of Baghdad, a stone's throw from the Tigris River, since 2007 when she fled increasing sectarian violence in her native Nahrawan town.And according to current figures from Iraq's Ministry of Migration and Displacement (MoMD), she is only one of 1.1 million other Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Iraq today.Persistent problemUNHCR estimates provided to Al Jazeera by Jessica Hyba, the Public Information and External Relations Officer in Iraq show that the greatest number of IDP's to be in the Baghdad governorate, and puts the number at 200,000 Iraqis.Dahfer Hamid, an unemployed construction worker who is married with three young children, lives in an abandoned lot in Baghdad where he has constructed a make-shift home from bricks, pieces of wood, and metal that he has collected. The smell of raw sewage wafts in from outside into his dwelling. Piles of garbage swarming with flies surround where he lives, along with rusting car frames, old refrigerators, and scrawny chickens scavenging for food. Like Haifa, Dahfer fled his town during the horrendous sectarian violence of 2007 that wracked Iraq, and came to Baghdad. "We lived in a mixed area of both Sunni and Shia, but the Mehdi Army [Shia Cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's militia] started killed Sunnis in our area," he explained to Al Jazeera. "My neighbours were killed, and after they knocked on my door to ask if I was Sunni or Shia, I told them I was from the area and they left."
Hundreds of families, like those of Dahfer Hamid's, are living in areas of Baghdad that most would consider unliveable, due to having fled sectarian violence in 2006-2007 [Dahr Jamail/Al Jazeera]
Fearing for his life, Dahfer fled the same day, after watching militiamen kill a local Imam. Iraq's Ministry of Manufacturing owns the land where he now lives, and periodically sends someone to tell them to leave. But Dahfer, along with hundreds of other families in the area, have no place else to go. "I feel bad, I don't know what to do," he explained. "I'm Sunni and can't live outside of a Sunni area of Baghdad. I can't rent, I don't have enough money, only this house, where four families are living now."Haifa and Dahfer are residual refugees within their own country, a product of the massive sectarian violence from 2006-2007, a period that saw as many as 100,000 Iraqis fleeing to Syria and Jordan each month. US military operations that destroyed large areas of cities and towns where they took place also generated high numbers of refugees.By the middle of 2007, UNHCR estimated that more than 4.2 million Iraqis were displaced, 2 million within Iraq and more than 2.2 million in neighbouring countries.Current UNHCR figures given to Al Jazeera place the number of Iraqis registered and remaining in Syria at 63,000, with another 25,000 in Jordan. This writer knows of several Iraqis who had fled to Syria during the height of Iraq's sectarian violence, who then had to flee Damascus when violence began in that country, and seek refuge in Lebanon. Currently, there are no official figures on how many Iraqis have had to do this for their safety.While many Iraqis who fled the country have returned, IDP's in Iraq are not getting much support from the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, and life for many of them remains a matter of daily survival.Who cares?Dahfer, like so many IDP's Al Jazeera interviewed, believes if he returned to his hometown he would be killed."Some of the people living here returned home and were killed," he said, before adding that his uncle and two of his other friends returned and all of them were killed. When asked what the Iraqi government was doing to assist them and other refugees, Dahfer was blunt. "All of Iraq is destroyed, and Maliki doesn't care," he said while holding up his arms, "So why would he care about us?"
IDPs live in makeshift houses that offer little protection from the often extreme temperatures of Baghdad [Dahr Jamail/Al Jazeera]
Marwa Ali, a 20-year-old mother of two, is another refugee in Baghdad. She, her husband, and their two-year-old daughter and four-year-old son live in a makeshift dwelling surrounded by piles of garbage almost as high as their tin roof. Marwa told Al Jazeera stories of what life was like for them living in such conditions. "In the winter the rain comes down through the ceiling," she said while pointing up to rusted pieces of tin set upon old boards over our heads. "And of course there is no heat to keep us warm in the winter."Tens of thousands of Iraqi children are being born into areas where they begin a life of homelessness, poverty, and insecurity [Dahr Jamail/Al Jazeera]It had been three days since they had had any clean water, and in the summer, their tin ceiling acts like a heater. "Flies and mosquitos are always with us, along with scorpions," she explained wearily.When asked what she hoped would happen with her family, Marwa looked down at the ground for several moments before answering."We have no future, and neither does Iraq have a future. My children have no future. We are only living day by day."Haifa, when asked about what she hoped would happen with her country, shook her head before answering."We know we are in this bad situation because of the US occupation, and our problems with this government are the result of that time," she replied, before talking about the future of her grandson."I ask God to take me away before he grows up, because I don't want to see what it will be like by then, since it only grows worse for us day by day now."She paused, looked off into the distance, then looked at the ground before adding, "I'm an old woman and I don't care if I die, but what about these young children?"

I think things are a LOT worse than we've been led to believe---after all, the Prez says the recession ended 2 1/2 years ago...yeah, right!
Friend of mine is out there... he's a business owner and does have an MBA
80% of the city's expenses are going to pay salary's and pensions for police and fire. It's an ugly mess, but one that is taking place all over the United States.
The unions have got us by the balls here when it comes to city, county, and state workers and their pensions. Also terrible mis-manggement by governing bodies of revenue they recieve from taxes. Vote all the incumbents out no matter who they are.
I haver some investment in municipal bonds which are kicking off just over 4-1/2% interest but with this bankruptcy thing going on and several cities near in the same boat as San Bernadino, its making me nervous.
All those on the pensions will not be happy when they find out their pensions are not protected in California. A friend of mine there was not happy when he found out that was true. He was a firefighter and retired at 52 with a large pension.
Just walking on the edge of of my grave.
The public employee unions are breaking the system. These should have never been allowed. The unions elect the people who are over their jobs. These elected managers in turn are in debt and dependent on the unions for their jobs. This a massive dairy barn where the taxpayers are milked.
Wait for it, I'm sure some lib will come on here and suggest these cities just raise taxes. While completely ignoring the fact that the local government has already squandered all the money. I'm sure the libs in Kalifornia are already discussing that if they just got a little more tax money they could straighten out this mess.
The failure of California's socalist anticapitalist government has been great for Texas. The number of California jobs moving to Utah and Texas Etc. are helping the economies of these states.
The one man that could have resolved the whole problem with kalifornacation. One of his inventions would have gotten rid of the whole damn state........And you would have new beach front property.......Its still plausible.........

I think this was very poorly made, and I have a hard time understanding how it got more than two stars. It's extremely short, part of what little nudity there is is censored (I feel like this was more of a limitation of the artist than actual censorship) and although you have to click in order to make the character say his lines, there aren't any actual choices. I feel like this shouldn't even be in the game category.
Rated 1 / 5 stars
wtf we undress her and take of her panties then suddenly there back on her??? and what's with the black bar? this is supposed to be rated adult, adult means pornography not just a little nudity hell this is barley worth an R rating. DON'T censor sex and you may get better ratings later on.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
it's pretty much dead on accurate. I'm impressed.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Great game just wish it was more interactive as well longer but Thanks for the good work
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This game is incredible! I thought this game was probably leaning toward a darker kind of premise considering the title, but I was wrong! This game's story (what ever there is given of one at least) just makes you go "awww"!

The neighborhood and the surrounding streets are very quiet and very clean. Tennants are very respectful of o Read Morene another. Great place to live! However, maintenance on some very outdated appliances need much to be desired.

The environment is excellent. It's quiet and we can see deer from our apartment. Target and other grocery stor Read Morees are relatively close by, including Towson mall. It's not far from downtown (~20 min drive on I-83) either. The only complaint is that the utility bill is expensive (ave. $400/mo in winter).

What an opening Grand Prix of the year!!
The Repsol Hondas looked like they were ahead of the game through practice and qualifying, but after a first lap full of bumping and barging, Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa couldn't recover to challenge the new GP15 Ducatis and the previously off the pace, (throughout practice and qualifying), factory Yamahas. MotoGP has done itself a whole lot of good over the last few years in steering the premier class slowly towards a sustainable and competitive spectacle, and the start of 2015 could not have gone better. I can't wait for round two in Austin Texas!
British MotoGP promoters, Circuit of Wales, recently held a press conference at the Piccadilly Sports Bar in Rupert Street, London, underlining their aspirations for young riders in Britain in the future. They also reiterated their position regarding the public enquiry to be held this month, (March), and were confident work would start on the track in South Wales later this year. Hosted by KH, on stage were Chris Herring of CoW and guests of honour, Sam Lowes, 24, current SpeedUp Moto2 rider, Rory Skinner, 13, Red Bull Rookie contender and Riders for Health's CEO, Andrea Coleman.
After 3 scorching days of the second Sepang MotoGP test in February, it's mostly good news! The new GP15 Ducati performed really well at it's first public outing and was right on the pace. As was Cal Crutchlow on his new LCR Honda. Bradley Smith worked through his programme at Tech3 Yamaha again and was never far off the pace setters, and Scott Redding's all new Marc VDS / Estrella Gallicia MotoGP team looked to be gelling well, although they've a bit of work to do to hit expectations. Early days yet though. Likewise for Eugene Laverty who was settling in to his 'customer' RC213VRS Honda, or rather settling in to the incredible grip of Bridgestone's front tyres! Plenty for British fans to look forward to in 2015 then. While we're on the subject of tyres, the Michelin test, the day after Sepang2 test, and in readiness for the switch from Bridgestone to French rubber in 2016, was a real challenge with a few top names having high speed 'offs'. Track times were pretty good at this early stage of developement, first reports suggest that there's plenty of grip at the rear but the fronts need work. The inbalance of grip at each end getting the better of some, and causing some very expensive wrecks. Luckily no one was hurt though. More MotoGP testing is due at Losail in Qatar before the opening GP of 2015 on March 29th at the same track, under lights!
On a personal note, it's great to get into our second season at BT Sport. There are a few changes you might like; the main one, (in my opinion), is that all the MotoGP presenters in 2015 will join us at trackside. There will be some other programme innovations that BT will be launching soon too.
So, after a bit of kerfuffle, it's back to Silverstone for the British MotoGP! With the Circuit of Wales project delayed by red tape, and the contract dead between CoW (promoters for at least 5 years) and Donington Park, it gave the new management team at Silverstone a golden opportunity to regain the initiative. And they have. For two years! Perhaps now we can all look forward to a bit of stability and a cracking British GP, and a state of the art new track in South Wales for 2017?!
This could be a classic year of bike racing. If you see me at any of the tracks, please don't be shy!
See you soon

A tradition has ended.
Tempo has been the key to wins for the New England volleyball team.
In the past two seasons, the Hazen volleyball team couldn't make it out of the quarterfinals of the Region 7 Tournament.
For the 12 Dickinson State football seniors, most have only known losing seasons throughout their careers.
Tradition is an important aspect to Dickinson State football. The same is true for the Herauf family.
The first win is always the sweetest.
Dickinson State senior running backs Jesse Carney and Myren Moore couldn't be more different.
The Minot State men's basketball team spoiled Dickinson State's second home game.
The first 11 games for the Dickinson State women's basketball team consist of Frontier Conference, Division II and one Division I opponents. While the tough schedule can only benefit the Blue Hawks in the long run, keeping up is far from easy.
The Dickinson State women's basketball team's season is already underway, but not off to a running start.

"'Cause when your back's against the wall
That's when you show no fear at all
And when you're running out of time
That's when you hitch your star to mine
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by"
~Keane - My Shadow Lyrics ~
There is no celestial place for you to guide my thoughts
Can you not see that I am free from you?
I am a black bird perched high in the treetops
You will hear my crowing and you may hate it
But my dear, you cannot take away my voice!
Yet still, as fire oppresses forests of life,
You can abuse my freedom to find your glory
You may discard these words for your love of gods,
And in so doing you may simply ignore
All the cries that I so passionately utter
But my infectious species will guide your mind straight back
To that once so lonely treetop where you merely glanced
And there will be multitudinous, oppressing thoughts
That shall enslave you and bind you unwillingly
The crows will only grow louder when you turn away—
When you pretend to ignore with your remaining, strangling pride
For my voice is a production sent from above
Dispatched to judge you pitilessly for your swelling lies!
And the choirs of ferocious beaks shall open forever
Harmony and dissonance as one
I saw a bird fall from the sky, I watched a grown man
as sit on the corner with his only possessions left in his
life as he cried…I meet a girl who had never seen a sun
rise, because she was blind. I watched as a mother as
she held her only son as he died, he had been the victim
of a drive by. I meet a man who had lost both his legs
because he had been hit by a drunk driver as he cross
the street...every time he would think of it, he would
grind his teeth. I meet a man who was once a Priest who
had he lost his faith in God because of a thief…With all
these things that I have seen, you would think or wonder
how I could still believe that there is a God that cares?
I stopped I paused as I started to think. The bird that fell
from the sky, had baby birds that had just left the nest
and that man on the corner was still alive and he could
walk, the blind girl smelled things I could not see, the
mother who lost her son, was now an advocate to stop
violence on the street, the man who lost his legs could
still think, the Priest was not dead and his faith was not
suppose to be in man, but only in God… and we all seem to
have forgot, God had not failed them but he was building
them up, for each one them that had something taken from
them, but they still had their life…all, but the bird…except
for her baby birds that had just left the nest. God had not
forgotten those people but it seems that they had forgotten him.
I wish I was a bird.
I could see the world, fly high above the mountains and the trees and the ocean and the seas.
I wish I was a bird.
Just sail the breeze with my wings so wide gliding to the earth with no worries on my mind.
I wish I was a bird. Please take me out of the cage, let me fly and be free, to be me! not to be molded into you.
I wish I was a bird.
You can hold me, but please be careful I am fragile and scare easily and fly away before I should.
I wish I was a bird.
I am tired of being fragile and little, over the years I have become wise like an owl quick like the Falcon and strong like an eagle, Now try to put me in that cage!.
I wish was a bird.
To be colorful and have everyone hear my voice as I sing beautiful songs I will overcome all the odds against me.
I wish I was a bird.
Written by Nathan Stanford
The Hawk flys overhead
soaring everlasting in circles
around the poor field mice.
six o'clock.
The Red Sun is now parrallel
to the treeline in the West.
Six o'clock
The hawk dives down, like a speeding bullet
and snatches up a small mouse, who was walking
along the corroded barbwire fence,
with his sharpe and dangerous talans.
Six o'clock. Feeding time.
A lover is now gone from the world of field mice,
Just like that.
With the turn of a hand on a clock
Six o'clock.
With the rumble of a Hawk's empty stomach
now a fellow mouse is gone. Forever.
Sad, isn't it?
The wolves race through the woods...
A melancholic night breathing...
The moon weeping its elegant light...
As I drown in the lake of uncertainty...
A prodigious night...
Procreating melancholy...
A deceiver at command...
Portraying images of the divine...
The nature decaying to the bizarre setting...
As the wolves howl at the night's mystical descend...
And as my heart cries a disheartening reverie...
The river turns venomous at the cheerless call...
The wolves pursue the divine call...
The eerie wind deceives their ears...
Far ahead I see a shadow of the pure...
But as I approach...the shadow is razed by the prevalent obscurity...
The winter birds seem to be early...
Nesting in the putrefied tree...
The venomous river appears frozen...
As a chilling breeze stings the heart...
A prodigious night...
Procreating melancholy...
A deceiver at command...
Portraying images of the divine...
The last few hopes seem to deaden...
As a cloud seems to darken the elegant moon...
And the heart craves for her warmth...
As the flowers anticipate the monsoon...
Why is it that her radiant shadows appear?
When illumination ceases to exist...
A bird rests on my shoulder...
And sings mantras of eternal hope...
An assurance of support...
And guidance...as the melancholic night descends...
The wolves howl to the infinite sky...
...And the lamentation of a lost soul...
Overpowered by their howls...
As the melancholic fire burns on...
The lamentation of a lost soul...
Forever lost...
...And as I close my eyes...
The setting transforms to "heaven"
Where flowers are vivacious...
...And nature rejoicing the start of spring...
...As I lay in her arms...
The panorama vivid as ever...
A panorama...
That subsists within the broken heart...
And a last few dead branches...
The winter bird collects to complete its nest...
And now all is at rest...
Silence is what subsists eternally...
The lamentation of a torn heart
Ever so callous...
...As he putrefies eternally...
...In a Melancholic Blaze...
Oh take me into the eternal
Beauty of that world
Where I can sing a melody
Adoring you my love
Where I can feel the freshness of
Your ever refreshing breath
And can dive deep in to the charming
Beauty of your eye's depths
Where beauty can fire me to fly
Higher and higher
And poetry can become a Moon to
Inspire and inspire
Oh take me into the eternal
Beauty of that world
Where I can sing a melody
Adoring you my love
Where I can feel the fragrance of life
When others have lost their roads
And are gloomy and sad without Hope
Where music can fill me
With the joy of love & eternal happiness
Where sound can bring peace
In my mind and heart
Oh take me into the eternal
Beauty of that world
Where my lyrics can become
A song of the singing bird Koyal*
Where my faith can bring a smile
On sad and gloomy faces
Like the smile of a new born child
Oh take me into the eternal beauty
Of that world
Where I can sing a melody
Adoring you my love
And can get lost till I feel
The freshness of your ever refreshing breath
Kanpur 29th Nov. 2009
*A melody singing bird of India (like the Nightingale of John Keats)
Koyal mainly sings in the season of spring.
Emotions run away
with my patience,
if only they would sit
still. Instead they fly
away like the little
robin on my window
sill. Little bird please
come back, settle my
mind from my emotional
attack. With a flash of
red I'm back on track.
Kiowa Arapahoe all on the trail
The bronze of the warrior the bird is not male
Put down a pit with meat and some sticks
Here lie and wait is cleverly tricked
She swoops and saws and looks for a cry
It hungers a plenty and looks with an eye
Down she goes and swoops and she nears
And something tells you there's something she fears
Chicks a hungry calling she flies feet in a gate and streaming she glides
She shoots to the floor and hooked to the meat
She losses her pace she losses her feet
His two hands that reach out and grab at her gate
She looses her loft and she looses her mate
It's over the struggle the bites and the flutter
To screach and to peck and the sticks are like shutters
With hands holding tight and blood issues slow
A pull and a wrench and the bird falls below
The meat and the blood and the feathers a fly
She's lost her own life and chicks soon will die
War bonnet built and worn with a pride
Bow down to the dance and darkness deride
But first thing the pit the blood and the squawk
No wait for a moment he's lost all that torque
Fear not for this spirit the bird got away
The trail it awaits on another day's play
Stark Raven
On the backs of embers last glowing bones of red
My head half numb from the narcotics
Winter crept on shadows in my room with frozen dread
As a broken raven marched unchallenged in its neurotics
It advanced on me with a hideous craven beak
Repeating my last name which I've since forgotten
It also used foul language which I dare not repeat
My blankets now soiled with sweat and something rotten
Across my bed with sudden jumps, then swaying side to side
Almost like a lullaby, until it shrieked, "Give me my money!"
It was there to collect some stark raven debt or so I surmised
If it wasn't so tragic it would be funny
The dark omen laughed, had gone stark raven mad
I too was not too happy
The situation with this fowl beast has gotten bad
I could kill it but that would be a little tacky
It taunts me till this day
The drugs took hold of me so I can't move
I can't even wish or whisper it away
There is nothing left to prove
A winter frost came in with this dark shadow bird on my lost soul
It is the last time I leave the window open and do opium
For being dumb I have to pay the heavy toll
Feed the thing; pay it, along with all the other bums on the curriculum
9/23/14 The Raven Poetry Contest
Cherry blossom tree
swaying by an ice glazed pond
lonely skylark perched
singing a song for it's flock
a chill wind blows alone he waits.

The only complaint i can come up with for your flash is that its too short, i thought it was great though. The character design of the guy was detailed and i liked how you animated him walking,which was very smooth. The guitar you had as background music worked well also. I thought the joke wasnt the strongest but i still enjoyed watching it. The subtitles were great as well, was this in an actual language or just gibberish? Overall very cool, just a bit too short.
thanks n.n
yes is veri short, because of it I put short animation XD but i to have put short short animation XD
If it is a real language it is called Spanish XD,Into request of the public I translated it but is the same XD with or without language n_n
thanks for you coment
Cute toon, but...
I thought it was a cute little cartoon for the season, but I didn't understand a word the character said. The language barrier is very apparent here. Maybe you could redo it with subtitles wor those who don't understand.
ajam thanks n_n
