James Madison
A Life Reconsidered
"This majestic new biography of James Madison explores the astonishing story of a man of vaunted modesty who audaciously changed the world. Among the Founding Fathers, Madison was a true genius of the early republic. Outwardly reserved, Madison was the intellectual driving force behind the Constitution and crucial to its ratification. His visionary political philosophy and rationale for the union of states--so eloquently presented in The Federalist papers--helped shape the country Americans live in today. Along with Thomas Jefferson, Madison would found the first political party in the country's history--the Democratic Republicans. As Jefferson's secretary of state, he managed the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the size of the United States. As president, Madison led the country in its first war under the Constitution, the War of 1812. Without precedent to guide him, he would demonstrate that a republic could defend its honor and independence--and remain a republic still"--

Former U.S. Senator and one-time presidential candidate Bill Bradley joined a crowd of roughly 75 people for a question and answer session at Williams College this week. The Democrat gave some insight into how he thinks the 2016 presidential race will turn out.
MONTPELIER, VT. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is pushing legislation to stop corporations from sheltering income in the Cayman Islands and other tax havens. The legislation also would end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs and factories overseas.
Most people have never heard of the "Chained CPI", a proposal in Congress that would, if approved, reduce benefits to veterans, federal retirees and Social Security recipients. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and numerous groups discussed their efforts to stop the Chained CPI during a conference call Friday.

Wing is by far the best Gundam and i am convinced that seed is a cheap rip-off of it (though still one of the better ones)
You DEFINITELY want to watch SEED before SEED Destiny. It'll really bring an understanding to the character relations in Destiny. Everyone has lost and gained so much through SEED and through Destiny they...well' I dont want to spoil it so. But watching Destiny is much more better if you know the story of SEED.
I'd reccomend watching the 3 SEED movies to get the understanding rather quickly and cheaply. LOL, better buying 3 than 10 vol. of the series.
-The Empty Battlefield
-The Far-away Dawn
-The Rumbling Sky
...actually, I THINK that they released the 3 movies as a set now...not sure. I'll have to get back on that. ^^;
thanks but i got a friend who is a gundam freaks so i can just borrow all the dvd's from him :)
well im not real sure on the order myself but you shouls really try to check them all out..cuz they are all awesome. my fav is gundam wing..and endless waltz was a great movie.
Trust me, SEED is good. Destiny is even better. Just to note though, I'm not saying that SEED and Destiny is the "best" Gundam out there. We all have our preferences and stuff so I cant really say that the "08th MS Team" is the "best". Its awesome nonetheless...and so is "Z Gundam", "Gundam F91", "V Gundam"....
...also you might wanna check out the manga too. The manga takes a slightly different path than the anime does so its good in a seperate way. I reccomend the "SEED - Astray", "Astray R", and "Lost War Chronicles". They're all a side story the some of the Gundam series. ASTRAY is a side story to SEED and Lost War Chronicles is a side to the oringinal Gundam.
I thought that Gundam Wing was earlier than Gundam Seed.

Nice! I love the Male Armor! Do you think the armors without the helms equipped make our faces furry to look like werewolves
AQWselthion 1852 days ago
Nice helms but one quik question will there be any morphs with any head armour
OreotheCowzard 1852 days ago
Nulgath 1852 days ago
DraktandAE, they do look similar. But you'll see, once it's in-game, just how different they look from each other. I may improve the AC Werewolf Morph later to match this version.
AQW_Serpente 1852 days ago

Sephora.com is sold out of a majority of the Philosophy goodies they previously had however I can report that a majority of Manhattan's Sephora stores have many of the products on sale and available for purchase!
As per my discussion (click here and here for details) before Philosophy has completely revamped the line and the bottles are no longer 16oz in size nor $16 in price they are now officially jumbo sized 24oz at a price tag of $20 per a bottle (The Muse approves! Good Deal!). I love the larger size and the lovely price tag but I have to say the new bottles are a bit clumsy for your shower. These aren't going to fit in any caddy or shelf you might have in your stall so that might be a problem for storage. Also when you're all wet and soapy in the shower I'm picturing many people dropping these as they are heavy and with your hands wet the potential for drama is huge!
The shelves at Sephora were lined with the new bottles. I can't do a comparison now but I have a little something, something that I'll show you soon! It's a steal, a deal, and it comes in the new jumbo packaging! I've ordered it and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival and will of course post my review soon!
I've seen Philosophy on sale at the following Sephora stores:
Sephora SOHO
Sephora on West 34th
Sephora at the Westchester Mall
Sephora 42nd & Madison
And what's left online can be found by clicking here (maybe they'll restock)!
I haven't checked Nordies. I actually went in last night but completely forgot to drop by the Philosophy counter! But maybe they are reducing the prices at Nordies as well!
$1 Shipping on orders great and small at Urban Decay!
Sweet! If you need to stock up on some primer or just one shadow or even do a larger order the price can't be beat!
What I Used:
Technakohl in Antiquity
Technakohl in Graphblack
Sparkle Pencil in Mint and Olive
Too Faced Starry Eyed Glitter Eyeliner in Obsessed Fan
MAC Plushlash in Black
MAC Pigment in Olive Green
MAC Pigment in Copperized
MAC Pigment in Golden Lemon
MAC Pigment in Night Light
MAC Pigment in Emerald Green
Bare Minerals Glimmer in True Gold
The Body Shop Solar Duo in 02
Maquillage Glossy Gloss in 74
A lovely girl, Kitty, asked that I do some purple looks!
So……….. here you go Kitty!
Just don't ask me what I used as I can't remember! I believe a little MAC Viz-a-Violet is in here, some MAC Kitshmas, some Urban Decay Grifter and some other bits and pieces!

Maddie's® Pet Adoption Days
May 30 – 31, 2015
California | Nevada | Wisconsin
Maddie's® Pet Adoption Days has supported the adoptions of more than 45,000 homeless dogs and cats since the program's inception in 2010. For each pet adopted, Maddie's Fund® gives participating shelters from $200 to $2,500. This funding enables the shelters and rescue groups to save and treat more animals throughout the year.
Maddie's® Pet Adoption Days is a collaborative effort of countless people trying to save the lives of shelter animals, a testament to what can be done when people come together and rally for a common cause.
Dave Duffield talks about Maddie's® Pet Adoption Days

Who is Maddie?
The Duffields named Maddie's Fund after their Miniature Schnauzer, Maddie, who always made them laugh or comforted them during stressful times when Dave was launching a startup software company. Maddie, who passed away in 1997 was the first of 10 dogs plus 7 adopted children who've joined Dave and Cheryl's family over the years.
"Maddie was a dear friend to Cheryl and me, and I promised her that if I ever made any money in my career, we'd give it back to companion animal causes in her honor," said Duffield. "We're very proud of the work Maddie's Fund has done on behalf of Maddie, and we're thankful to have had the opportunity to keep our promise to her."
Thank You Maddie!

Obama fundraises for Dems, demands GOP cooperation
LOS ALTOS, Calif. (AP) — With Congress struggling against time to address key legislation, President Barack Obama on Wednesday portrayed Republicans as members of a party that "has no agenda other than making government not work." He said that view breeds public cynicism that helps the GOP by dissuading the public to vote.
Obama's critique of Republicans came during a fundraising appearance in this wealthy enclave in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he cast himself as being above the political fray even as he embarks on one of his most intense money-raising sprees for the Democratic Party.
"The reason politics does not work in Washington, I want to be clear, is not because both parties are in the tank," he told donors at an event that raised money for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "The reason it does not work right now is because we have one party that has no agenda other than making government not work, whose primary function, whose primary purpose if you distill their ideology comes down to saying 'no' to any efforts to help ordinary families get ahead."
A day earlier, Obama said Republican lawmakers have "gone kind of off the rails."
His remarks also came as Republican leaders accused him of not being sufficiently engaged in legislation and of not pursuing bipartisan solutions.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, noted Tuesday that the Republican-controlled House has passed numerous pieces of legislation that he says would boost the economy but have stalled in the Democratic-led Senate.
"If he's serious, he'll help us break the logjam in his party's Senate and make more progress for Americans still asking 'where are the jobs?'" Boehner said.
Obama's fundraising — at least six events over three days in Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles — comes in a week that represented the two extremes of his approach to Congress. On Tuesday he signed a rare piece of bipartisan job-training legislation and hailed it as a symbol of cooperation. On Monday he signed an executive order prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating on the base of sexual orientation, the kind of go-it-alone strategy he has made a keystone of his second term.
Still, the lack of compromise has not only halted progress on a comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. immigration system but also raised doubts about legislation to help address an influx of young migrants at the southern border and to fix the nation's veterans' health programs.
Congress has until the end of next week to move on various fronts before it begins a monthlong recess. By the time lawmakers return in September, the midterm election's fall campaign will be dominant.
"What they know," Obama said of Republicans, "is if government is not working, people get cynical and if people get cynical they do not vote. And if people do not vote it advantages them."
With his travels coinciding with crises abroad in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, Obama made a last-minute decision to scrap an appearance with late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel. But there was still room for some glamour and glitz on the trip.

I want to select the last
n items of a time series. I can use the
[ operator, but I lose the time series attributes of the data:
data <- ts(1:10, frequency = 4, start = c(1959, 2))
I've written a wrapper function to re-apply the time series attributes, but I was wondering if there was a more elegant way to do this?
lastN <- function(data,n) {
out <- data[(length(data)-n+1):length(data)]
ts(out, end=end(data), frequency=frequency(data))
Why doesn't the

Hotel is across the river, plus there are a number of restaurants around the area. It is also walking distance to Ceasar's Casino. Parking is limited within hotel property but there is a covered parking area across the street. Hotel is also very close to the police station so relatively a safe area. Hotel is good for short stays.

Abstract: We prove that for any topological space which is metric, compact (hence separable) path connected and locally path connected, its homotopy group is not the additive group of the rational, moreover if it is not finitely generated then it has the cardinality of the continuum.

About this location
The Edinburgh region
Edinburgh is one of the world's great cities, with something for everyone at all times of the year and a wealth of historical and cultural attractions, from castles and palaces to world-class galleries and museums.
For more information please let us know
Royal Mile
This apartment is situated on the Canongate, on the Royal Mile, in the heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town. The Royal Mile, the backbone of medieval Edinburgh, connects Edinburgh Castle at one end with the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Parliament at the other. Edinburgh's main visitor attractions are on your doorstep and the neighbourhood is full of attractive independent shops and restaurants, bars and cafés to suit all budgets, from cheap and cheerful pizzerias to fine dining establishments. The Hub (the official centre for the Edinburgh International Festival) and the Festival Fringe office are on the Royal Mile, and you can easily walk to many of the Festival venues. You are also ideally placed to enjoy the Christmas and Hogmanay/New Year festivities.
Bull's Close is named after Robert Bull, a writer and burgess who owned property here in the eighteenth century. The Canongate was a separate burgh from Edinburgh for over 700 years, taking its name from the canons (priests) of Holyrood Abbey. As it was near the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the area developed as the court quarter and many fine residences for aristocratic families were built there. One of these, Queensberry House, now forms part of the Scottish Parliament building. Queensberry House was bought in 1686 by the father of the 2nd Duke of Queensberry, whose eldest son, the mad Lord James Douglas, escaped from confinement one night in 1701 and murdered a kitchen-boy – the very night that his father was signing the Act of Union that dissolved the Scots Parliament and put Scotland under English rule. You can find out more about Edinburgh's grisly past on the guided tours that leave from the Royal Mile. See for example Mercat Tours, Witchery Tours and Mary King's Close.
The property has a shared garden, but if that isn't enough for you, just across the road on the other side of the Royal Mile is Dunbar's Close garden, an oasis in the city centre.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review; much appreciated. We're glad that you enjoyed the apartment and the size of it. Sorry that the entrance hallway is not in the best condition: All tenement apartments in Edinburgh are accessed by shared stairways, which tend to be functional more than luxurious. However, we are pleased that you enjoyed the homey feel inside the apartment.

"Sehr zentral gelegenes Apartment mit guter Einrichtung"
Den grossen Pluspunkt gleich vorneweg, zentraler Leben geht in Edinburgh's Altstadt kaum. Man spart einfach unendlich viel Zeit, in kürzester Gehdistanz von Waverley Station, Holyrood Palace und dem Arthur's Seat (toll zum Joggen) zu wohnen.
Die Wohnung wurde mit Stil einfach eingerichtet und die Küche enthält alles, was man auch bei längerem Aufenthalt braucht. Wöchentlich wurde die Betten neu bezogen, geputzt und nebenbei auch gleich der Abwasch gemacht und der Müll entsorgt. Sowieso war der Service hervorragend, Schwierigkeiten wurden ohne Diskussionen pragmatisch gelöst.
Etwas schwieriger wird's für lärmempfindliche Leute: Die Wohnung liegt im Erdgeschoss und nachts (wie auch tagsüber) pilgern Touristen und Pubbesucher auf dem Heimweg am Schlafzimmerfenster vorbei und eine Buslinie sowie tagsüber die PKWs können empfindlich laut sein.
Für kürzere Aufenthalte mit Sightseeing-Absichten kann ich diese Wohnung problemlos empfehlen. Wer für länger eine Bleibe sucht, sollte seine Schmerzgrenze bezüglich Lärmbelästigung kennen. Ich habe selber 5 Wochen dort gewohnt und habe es nie bereut...
Vielen Dank für Ihre Rezension. Wir sind froh, dass Sie einen genießbaren und gemütlichen Aufenthalt hatten, und dass Ihnen den Verkehrslärm nicht allzu sehr gestört hat. Wie Sie berichten ist der zentrale Standort ist natürlich sehr praktish. Wir hoffen, dass wir Sie in Zukunft nochmal willkommen heißen dürfen. Martin, Vacation Rentals Scotland

Dr Mahawar is a really poor example of a pain management doctor. Although, I think all of these pain management doctors are all just a little off (IMO) and he be on the better side of the scales, he still cared less for my condition and was always more concerned if myinsurance was current and that he would get paid for his services. I kept telling him that his receptionist should inquire of my insurance before my appointment if he felt as though he may not get paid... Sheesh!!! He did tend to my chronic pain needs and medication, but when I needed info for my social security disability case, he had all the wrong information. It stated I had a partial kidney removal, that I tested positive for cocaine, heroin, and marijuana, and the medication he had me on was nothing that I was or had ever had taken. So, he or his staff had most definetly mixed my information up with someone else's and had no reply as to how or what had happened... Ridiculous!!! My wife and I couldn't believe just how incompetent this doctor and staff where. I needed up firing him and have my primary taking care of my chronic pain needs. My wife and I have had met a few other pain management doctors in the midst of all this, some more "unique" than others, and I can truly say that Dr Mahawar is the best one we've met, if it just wasn't for his concern for getting paid and total negligence for keeping accurate records, I would still be with him.
I was referred to Dr Mahawar for disability eval after bilateral mastectomy and complications of advanced stage cancer treatment/post mastectomy pain syndrome/Lymphedema left me unable to work. He was HORRIBLE! Rude and unprofessional. Kept me waiting for 45 mins. Then had his office assistant take my medical history - she wasnt qualified to do - didn't understand the terminology I used w her. After he arrived and kicked her out, he started typing on the CRT; never said hello/introduced himself to my husband or myself (weird). His blackberry rang in the middle of me telling him about my disabling pain and w out excusing himself, he answered the phone and proceeded to have a 5 minute personal call w someone! then he asked me if he had everything - which I told him I didn't know, because his assistant took the history and I wasn't sure she understood what I was telling her. I asked him to read it to me and sure enough, he says "trunk edema", which is NOT what I told her - I have truncal Lymphedema, which is a painful, permanent, disabling condition. He said "I know that!", but I'm not sure he did and if I hadn't said something, he wd have sent that in the report. He wasn't even going to examine me until I mentioned the swelling and he asked to see it, so I took my shirt off to show him the scar tissue and swelling under what used be my left breast. After 15 more minutes of typing/no talking, he left the room, said "good luck to you" walked out and left the door wide open so everyone in his office/lobby could see in the exam room and I wasn't dressed had no shirt on! Awful! I wd not recommend this dr for anything.
crapy service, crapy service, crapy service, crapy service, crapy service, crapy service, crapy service
I found Dr. Mahawar extremely friendly and easy to deal with. His staff was helpful and freindly. Dr. Mahawar also spent more time with me than I expected and he helped me understand everything that was going on with my condition in detail.

Evil men, named and shamedMiriam Shaviv
Sep 11, 2008
The Israeli rabbinic court system has began publishing pictures and descriptions of men who have disappeared without giving their wives a get.
Some of these men have fled Israel and may be living in your community. If you have seen them, please contact the Rabbanut immediately.
And for once, credit where credit is due. The Rabbanut should be applauded for taking this important step in tracing these horrible men. Perhaps now, men considering leaving their wife unable to remarry and get on with her life, will realise that this will not just be treated as a private affair, but as a crime that will cost them their public reputations.
As good as it getsDanny Caro

Last night was without doubt the best England performance I have seen in my lifetime.
It was as though I had forgotten how being a proud Englishman felt as the goals kept flying in. It was as though I almost had to pinch myself.
Going into the game I expected a draw at best, hoping that England would give a resilient and gutsy display. No-one could have written the script of a 4-1 win against a country that had never lost a competitive home match.
Barking madMiriam Shaviv
Sep 8, 2008
The Bark-mitzvah phenomenon – giving your dog a 'barmitzvah' party – has been around for a few years; but now - just like real barmitzvahs - the celebrations are getting more expensive.
One New Yorker has just made headlines after spending an astounding $10,000 on his pooch's party – which was attended by 100 people, including Dr Ruth. Fur real.
According to proud owner – parent? – David Best, the dog, Elvis, "has a great personality and everyone loves him".
Sarah Palin sat through a sermon by a Jew for Jesus. Should we care?Miriam Shaviv
Sep 5, 2008
Barack Obama's pastor, Jeremiah Wright, proved a huge problem for the Democratic presidential nominee – particularly (but by no means exclusively) amongst Jews. Now, Ben Smith of Politico puts the spotlight on Sarah Palin's church – which, just a couple of weeks ago hosted David Brickner, the executive director of Jews for Jesus:
Palin's pastor, Larry Kroon, introduced Brickner on Aug. 17, according to a transcript of the sermon on the church's website.
"He's a leader of Jews for Jesus, a ministry that is out on the leading edge in a pressing, demanding area of witnessing and evangelism," Kroon said.
Ancient Jewish city found - in RussiaMiriam Shaviv
Sep 5, 2008
Russian archaeologists claim to have found the capital of the ancient state of the Khazars - who, according to tradition, adopted Judaism as their state religion in the 8th century:
"This is a hugely important discovery," expedition organiser Dmitry Vasilyev told AFP... "We can now shed light on one of the most intriguing mysteries of that period -- how the Khazars actually lived. We know very little about the Khazars -- about their traditions, their funerary rites, their culture," he said.
At its height, the Khazar state and its tributaries controlled much of what is now southern Russia, western Kazakhstan, eastern Ukraine, Azerbaijan and large parts of Russia's North Caucasus region.

The future of junior Jewish football has been in doubt for some time now. With the leagues in London, AJY and Maccabi Primary League, and Manchester struggling for numbers it appears that youngsters have fallen out of love with the game.
In my day, kids couldn't get enough of football. I remember playing in Hendon Park until 10pm when our floodlights were the lamp-posts. It didn't stop us from diving, shooting and yelling in a John Motson voice.
It's hardly surprising that numbers are falling. That said, figures of those playing five-a-side have never been better. With PSP's Wii's and the pressures of modern day society, it appears that players of all ages are finding 'better things to do with their time'.
Too much money for their own goodDanny Caro

Credit crunch. What credit crunch? While some people are scraping for pennies, two Premiership football club splashed more than £60 million on two players.
Locking up the women - in the name of modesty
Four years ago, Rabbi Nissim Karelitz, chairman of the rabbinic court in Bnei Brak, asked righteous women to kindly leave shul before the service was over, for reasons of 'modesty' – ie so that they should not mingle with the men.
But what if the women didn't want to leave early? A shul in Tzfat has come up with a rather ingenious solution:
New guidelines imposed at the Breslover Shul in Tzfas determine women must leave after Shabbos morning Davening before Aleinu, or they are locked inside the women's gallery until men make their exit. According to the new rule, after Aleinu the women's gallery is locked for 15 minutes, during which the men make their exit. The women's gallery is then reopened to allow those who didn't make it out in time to leave.
Tony Blair's sister-in-law: 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of Gaza!'
So Lauren Booth – journalist and, rather more famously, sister of Cherie Blair – is stuck in Gaza after being turned away from the Israeli and Egyptian crossings.
She arrived in the Palestinian territory last week on a boat with 45 other activists, aiming to defy Israel's blockade of the Strip – and to show solidarity with the Palestinians.
Now she is complaining that she can't leave.
Barack Obama's Jewish mishpocha
So who is the most 'Jewish' presidential candidate in America? Now that Joe Lieberman has missed out on being named Republican running mate, the slot is wide-open.
And according to the New York's Forward, the unexpected answer is….. Barack Obama. Not only was he once a Shabbos Goy – his wife has a bona fide rabbi in the family:
Michelle Obama, wife of the Democratic presidential nominee, and Rabbi Capers Funnye, spiritual leader of a mostly black synagogue on Chicago's South Side, are first cousins once removed. Funnye's mother, Verdelle Robinson Funnye (born Verdelle Robinson) and Michelle Obama's paternal grandfather, Frasier Robinson Jr., were brother and sister.

Comic-Con 2012: RZA's 'Man With the Iron Fists' to Hit Theaters on Nov. 2
The film, inspired by classic kung-fu movies, marks RZA's feature directorial debut.
Universal will release action-adventure The Man With the Iron Fists -- presented by Quentin Tarantino and directed by hip-hop impresario RZA -- on Nov. 2.
Longtime Tarantino collaborators RZA and Eli Roth co-wrote the script, envisioning the film as an ode to kung-fu classics of the past. RZA also stars, opposite Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu.
RZA, who played rapper-turned-actor Samurai Apocalypse on Showtime's Californication last season, was in Comic-Con on Thursday to talk about Iron Fists, an epic story of warriors, assassins and a lone hero who descend on one fabled village in China for a winner-take-all battle for a fortune in gold.
Rounding out the cast are Jamie Chung, Cung Le, Dave Bautista, Byron Mann, Daniel Wu and Pam Grier.

We'll also cultivate tomatoes with Bobby Fletcher near the Mississippi River and float downstream with Dr. John Bell to learn how the Louisiana oyster can help rebuild coastal wetlands. We travel from the Gulf of Mexico to Shreveport's urban farms on this week's Louisiana Eats!

Players Only: Should Arian Foster Have Spoken Up?
SEP 21, 2013 2:35a ET
Honesty really is the best policy. Right?
An athlete that speaks his mind, comes forward and comes clean is flat out refreshing. Aside from grabbing headlines and making for a good news story, taking a stand can even lead to change.
Arian Foster is both outspoken and completely honest more often than not. Foster admitted to taking money while at the University of Tennessee. Money that, as a student athlete without means, was necessary to get by.
The question is why, now as an established NFL star, did Foster decide to speak up about his college days?
We take a look at how other players see it as a statement for justice or something that should have been left unsaid.
