What does Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing) think about marriage - why doesn't she want to get married?
1 Answer | Add Yours
As Beatrice says to Benedick in Act 1, Scene i of Much Ado about Nothing, "I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me." (129-130). It is clear that she does not think highly of love or marriage. In fact, she does not really like men very much at all, and it exasperates her uncle no end that her wit and her sharp tongue seem to have the effect of driving away suitors. Beatrice, however, does not care. In fact, she declares that not having a husband is "blessing" that she thanks God for every day. She declares in Act II, Scene i that she will not marry "till God make men of some other metal than earth. She further says "Would it not grieve a woman to be overmastered with a piece of valiant dust?" (60-61). She does not want to be commanded, and she likes her freedom too much to give it to any man. Of course, later she changes her mind because her friends trick her and Benedick into thinking each likes the other. That, however, brings up other questions that are not pertinent to this one.

Many of us know that the superheroes at the heart of the American comic book industry were created by Jews. But we'd be surprised to learn how much these beloved characters were shaped by the cultural and religious traditions of their makers. Superman Is Jewish? follows the "people of the book" as they become the people of the comic book. Harry Brod reveals the links between Jews and superheroes in a penetrating investigation of iconic comic book figures. With great wit and compelling arguments, Brod situates superheroes within the course of Jewish- American history: they are aliens in a foreign land, like Superman; figures plagued by guilt for not having saved their families, like Spider-Man; outsiders persecuted for being different, like the X-Men; nice, smart people afraid that nobody will like them when they're angry, like the Hulk. Brod blends humor with sharp observation as he considers the overt and discreet Jewish characteristics of these well-known figures and explores how their creators—including Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby— integrated their Jewish identities and their creativity.
Brod makes a strong case that these pioneering Jews created New World superheroes using models from Old World traditions. He demonstrates how contemporary characters were inspired by the golem, the mystically created artificial superhuman of Jewish lore. And before Superman was first drawn by Joe Shuster, there were those Jews flying through the air drawn by Marc Chagall. As poignant as it is fascinating, this lively guided tour travels from the Passover Haggadah's exciting action scenes of Moses's superpowers through the Yiddish humor of Mad to two Pulitzer Prizes awarded in one decade to Jewish comic book guys Art Spiegelman and Michael Chabon.
Superman Is Jewish? explores the deeper story of how an immigrant group can use popular entertainment media to influence the larger culture and in the process see itself in new, more empowering ways. Not just for Jewish readers or comic book fans, Superman Is Jewish? is a story of America, and is as poignant as it is fascinating.
A surprising question, one that takes a certain amount of chutzpah to even raise. To add even a bit more chutzpah, this book considers questions about the Jewishness of more superheroes than just Superman, and offers answers that will surprise many. You mean Spider-Man is Jewish too? Well, actually, yes, but in a very different way than Superman is. And, as we'll see, the shift between them reflects the evolution of Jewish life in America itself in the generation between the two, the generation that gets us from World War II and the "Golden Age" of comics to the 1960s and the "Silver Age" of comics. The historical turning points of those tumultuous years and others, like the powerful 1950s crusade against comics for supposedly causing juvenile delinquency, turn out to be central to our story because these events, and their great impact on American Jews, appear on comic book pages themselves, and behind the scenes in their production. For it turns out that the history of Jews and comic book superheroes, that very American invention, is the history of Jews and America, particularly the history of Jewish assimilation into the mainstream of American culture. less

Tracheostomy: acute and long-term mortality and morbidity in very low birth weight premature infants. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 8229557 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Thirty-six very low birth weight premature infants (VLBW-PT) born at 24 to 32 weeks gestation and with birth weights 635 to 1,360 g who had tracheostomies performed for acquired subglottic stenosis or for prolonged mechanical ventilation were followed in relation to acute and long-term mortality and morbidity. Mortality due to the tracheostomy occurred in 4 patients (11%); mortality from all other causes was 25%. Death after hospital discharge was associated with the nonuse of prescribed cardiorespiratory monitors. Complications < 1 week postsurgery occurred in 31% of infants and complications > or = 1 week postsurgery occurred in 64% of infants. Fifty percent of infants required tracheostomy for > 2 years and/or extensive reconstructive surgery of the airway. Parents should be counselled that VLBW-PT infants with a tracheostomy may require extended medical and home care. An effective home care program requires parental training in tracheostomy care, the use of ancillary equipment, and infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation. |

After ending her passionless marriage, Cali Reynolds is eager to live out her forbidden fantasies. Her first step is attending new members' night at The Den, the most exclusive sex club in town. Perhaps here she can find a man who understands her desire to be dominated...
At first, Jake McCallister thinks Cali has come to his club for the wrong reasons. But when he discovers she is seeking fulfillment after years of denial, he's intrigued--and takes it upon himself to initiate her into the pleasures she's been missing.
Her first encounter with Jake is everything Cali has always craved, and more; she's not prepared for the feelings he inspires in her. And Jake is just as surprised by his overwhelming attraction to Cali. As their play intensifies, so does their bond. Now, Jake doesn't want anyone but Cali--but is he ready to officially claim her? And will she submit to being his forever?

A half day in Santa Monica
Trip Start
Jul 14, 2007
Trip End
Jul 27, 2007
But our handy GPS led us safely to the Santa Monica Pier, where we parked, and is right at the beautiful Santa Monica beach. The pier is huge and there's even an amusement park on it. We went up to the pier and the first thing there that thoroughly encaptured Ben's attention was the "Bubba Gump Shrimp Co." - some kind of a seafood restaurant, nostaglically named after the enterprising establishment in one of Ben's favourite movies. When I got Ben to sit down on the Forrest Gump bench to pose for a photo, it occurred to me then that he does actually look quite a lot like Forrest Gump!
We walked along the pier - it was much like the Manhattan Beach pier from the other night, but larger - and I took lots of nice photos of the beach scenery. On our way back from the end of it, despite his acute fear of the ferris wheel ride, Ben agreed to go on the ride with me. I thought it would be a great way to see the beach from above, and it was!
Ben was "starving" by this point so we headed towards our lunch destination at the Real Food Daily vegan and organic restaurant, which was only several blocks away. Ben had a club sandwich with ceasar salad and $6 freshly squeezed orange juice, and I had some kind of huge fettucine dish with cucumbers, artichokes and other vegetables in it.
Then we started to head back to the beach, and I reminded Ben that he had wanted to buy a camelback backpack in order to keep himself well hydrated, and we found a big outdoor/camping store that sold them and he bought the camelback of his dreams, as well as a pair of polarized sunglasses that he claims you can't buy anywhere in Canada for such a good price as it was selling for there (about 20% of the price they sell for in Canada). Ben filled his new camelback companion with 3 litres of purple Gatorade and we were ready to go back to the beach.
Time was limited but we managed to enjoy some quality beach time! And yes, I actually made it into the ocean! Well, not completely in ALL the way, but in far enough! (like up to my chest) Ben got some good pictures of that too - my courageous excursion into the ocean, with big waves randomly and unexpectedly crashing up on me at any given time. We lied on the beach for about 20 minutes - it was gorgeous - hot and sunny - and then headed back to the hotel. At the hotel I could clearly see that today had made a noticeable difference in the colour of my skin - I could actually see a tan line now! No more pasty white for me! I hope we can go to the beach several times more, even just in the evening to relax after the day's activities. I now need to jump right into the ocean and get throughly wet, and Ben still has yet to do that too.
We quickly got ready (ie. washed the sand off) and headed to the conference and checked in and then had dinner at the hotel restaurant, which was a really nice all vegan buffet. The hotel is providing that for the AR people - all vegan food - and it was quite good. I had mixed vegetable rice, herbed carrots, tofu, a bit of tomatoey pasta, and then some canteloupe for dessert. Ben overflowingly piled his plate with tonnes of food, which I was happy to see, of course including lots of fruit and raw cherry tomatoes.
The opening of the conference (plenary) started at 7:15pm and we got a good seat up at the front. Anthony Marr was playing tunes on his keyboard (we had spoken to him earlier as Ben had wanted to say hi (he had first met him at an Earthsave potluck last December that we had him speak at on the Bengal Tiger)), and then they started and the evening's programme consisted of a number of prominently qualified people stepping up to speak on various animal issues of the day and addressed the history of the animal rights movement, as well as the state of the movement as it stands today. I found it to be a really good overall summary, especially as many of the recent accomplishments of the AR effort were listed and described.
After this, we had to go to Natalie's home in Redondo Beach to pick up Ben's walkie talkies, which he had lent to her a long time ago and we had realized this week we could really, really use on our trip here. So now we don't have to stay attached the whole time when we are off at the beach, Universal Studios, walking down the street, etc. in the fear that we'll lose each other forever, because we have the handy radios now to enable us to keep in contact - for 2 miles at least!

If you made a trip to your local shopping mall, would a dedicated Keurig Store make the agenda? The folks at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR ) sure hope so.
On Tuesday, Green Mountain stock rose around 2% after the company announced the launch of its first brick-and-mortar Keurig Store, calling it "a unique retail destination offering consumers the opportunity to experience the leading single cup system like never before."
That's a lot of fanfare for a store concept exclusively focused on promoting the company's various single-serve brewers, but I still can't help but wonder whether Green Mountain's first Keurig Store will prove to be its last.
Here's why this is a great idea
To its credit, Green Mountain is being cautious with its first location, based within a mile of its major research and development centers in Burlington, Massachusetts. This, in turn, makes it an ideal place to showcase Green Mountain's latest systems and flavors to skeptical consumers. Incidentally, that list grew to include instant soup less than two weeks ago, thanks to a newly minted partnership with Campbell Soup (NYSE: CPB ) .
As fellow Fool Rick Munarriz pointed at the time, people shouldn't be particularly surprised by the partnership, considering Campbell's teamed up with SodaStream (NASDAQ: SODA ) last year to get its V-8 V-Fusion and V8 Splash beverages into the at-home carbonation specialist's increasingly popular machines.
Then again, the V8 V-Fusion and V8 Spash lines both come in a variety of relatively sweet-tasting flavors, so SodaStream's efforts there were more-or-less complementary to its existing soda and tea options.
With Green Mountain, however, I'm sure I'm not the only Keurig user made apprehensive by the possibility of being surprised with salty coffee for breakfast from the lingering after-effects of a Campbell's Soup K-Cup.
But would millions of consumers be more likely to explore the possibility if we could try a sample in a showroom before wasting our money buying an 18-pack? Absolutely.
And the same goes for the company's new beverage systems, including the Keurig Rivo, which was launched last November and, in typical Green Mountain fashion, claims to simplify the process of making delicious lattes and cappuccinos.
What's more, as today's press release also points out, in-store customers will be able to mix and match from 200 possible flavors to brew later at home, with custom packages available in three-count, six-count, or 12-count boxes.
In the end, I have to admit I might be just a little jealous of the lucky folks in Burlington. This creative flexibility is one big reason I'm convinced the first Keurig Store most certainly won't be the last, and why the concept should only help to further propel Green Mountain stock upward over the long term.

Welcome to the JvT Band.
Jeroen van Tuijl, the lead vocalist and guitarist, discovered his love for
the guitar more then 25 years ago. After playing a lot of covers with
various bands and being influenced by his favorite rock and blues
music, Jeroen was inspired to compose his own music. In addition he
also writes his own lyrics. This all resulted in forming the JvT band,
together with Charles on bass and Rene on drums. These 3 passionate
musicians play Jeroens music with a heart, coming out of their souls.

text: If you're looking for something to do on Saturday, stop by the Elk's Lodge. There, at the Homer Teen Resource Forum, you'll be able to see just about every option in the area, as well as enjoy refreshments and door prizes. The event is different from teen fairs held the past, said organizer Jan O'Meara. "This is mostly informational, just to get the word out about what there is to do for kids," said O'Meara, who co-chairs the Homer Rotary Downtown's community projects committee. O'Meara said the forum focuses on teens, but also will have information for parents, teachers and others who interact with youth. "There'll be a variety anything from fun things to what they need to know," O'Meara said. South Peninsula Haven House, The R.E.C. (resource and enrichment) room of Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic, Kenai Peninsula Borough School District's Teens in Transition program and Homer Rotary Downtown are sponsoring the event, which will include as many area teen service providers as possible. Organizations confirmed for the forum include Pier One Theatre, area Youth Courts, the Homer Police Department, the Center for Alaska Coastal Studies, the Pratt Museum, the Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Girl Scouts, EcoLogical, the Kachemak Nordic Ski Club, Homer Flex School and HoWL. R.E.C. room youth development coordinator Jamie Cloud said it's great to have all the youth resources in one location, which the R.E.C. room does year round. "It is a resource forum, basically," she said. The R.E.C. room serves as a place for teens to be themselves and find information. Cloud said information from the one-day resource forum will be available at the R.E.C. room. The Homer Rotary Downtown received a grant from Rotary District 5010 with the stipulation that the local club hold a resource forum. Last year the club printed flyers about community resources. "It's just a continuation in our effort to help teens from falling through the cracks," O'Meara said. "Our club from day one has been focusing on teens and helping our community be a better place. It's just a matter of pulling them all together in one place," she said. Anyone who provides services or alternative activities to teenagers 13-19 should contact Jan O'Meara at 235-8757 to get involved with the forum. The teen resource forum will be held downstairs in the Elk's Lodge from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday.

Adaptive radial basis function emulators for robust design
UNSPECIFIED (2000) Adaptive radial basis function emulators for robust design. In: 4th International Conference on Adaptive Computing in Design and Manufacture (ACDM 00), UNIV PLYMOUTH, PLYMOUTH, ENGLAND, APR, 2000. Published in: EVOLUTIONARY DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE pp. 343-350.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In the field of engineering design, tradeoffs between competing design objectives can only be made if there is a good understanding of the product or process under development. To facilitate this, adaptive classes of models can be used to represent complex engineering systems and provide important information for design development. This paper describes a fast implementation of a radial basis function model, intended for this purpose. By exploiting the mathemtical form of the Gaussian basis function, a computationally efficient method of estimating smoothness is developed and used in the model fitting process. The method is applied to a set of existing experimental data and compared with two alternative modelling strategies involving polynomial and stochastic process models.

Wichita Black Arts Festival looks online for fundraising help
The Wichita Black Arts Festival, which began in the summer of 1968, has seen declining attendance and smaller budgets recently.
"One of the … things we don't want to do — and we can't afford to do — is operate it in the red," festival association president Carl Stovall said.
To avoid being in the red this summer, the festival has kicked off an online campaign at gofundme.com to collect donations from the public. The festival has also started selling its $3 buttons — which are tickets to the event — at Roseline's International Enterprise, a floral and gift shop at 21st and Oliver, and P&P Seeds and Bait, 1901 E. 21st N. Other locations are still in the works.
The Wichita Black Arts Festival Association, a nonprofit organization that aims to promote African-American heritage, hosts a "party in the park" each summer. The festival — which includes a parade, fashion shows, dances, local musical acts and artists — takes place over Labor Day weekend at McAdams Park. The event will run Aug. 30 to Sept. 1 this year.
But in recent years, the organization has worked "in the red," Stovall said, and put on smaller-scale festivals, but has never canceled the three-day event.
Stovall said he attributes the lack of funds to a poor economy.
"When the economy is more sluggish," he said, "funds are down, and businesses don't have the money."
Besides the $3 button to get into the festival, the organization gets income from donations and sponsorships from other organizations and businesses. But some of them have either pulled out or are no longer in business, Stovall said.
Many people have speculated, Stovall said, that the festival disappeared a few years back. That's not the case, he said.
"About three years ago," he said, "our big festival part didn't happen, but we still had a couple pieces to it."
Because of smaller budgets, the festival has had to cut back, Stovall said. Typically, a national musician or artist makes an appearance at the weekend event, but the past few years, he said, they've had to do without.
"We know you have to give the people of Wichita something in order for them to support you," said Elaine Guillory, the festival's secretary and treasurer. Otherwise, "You don't want to go to a party in the park on a hot summer day."
Guillory has put together an online donation site, with a $25,000 goal, to pay for operating expenses such as security, generators and sound for concerts. Find the site at gofundme.com.
The Black Arts Festival began during a time of civil unrest, Stovall said.
Leonard Garrett, a historian and civil rights advocate in Wichita, founded the News Hawk, an African-American newspaper. His passion for the arts also led him to form the Wichita Black Arts Festival Association, Stovall said.
"He always believed people came together over the arts," he said.
"It cuts across racial and cultural lines."
And what happens if the the festival is no longer able to keep going?
"I think (people) would notice that they don't have a venue to express their creativity," Guillory said, "or express the things that they think are particularly important to the African-American community.
"I think that would be missed."

email email@example.com for your requirements
we are now offering anyone the chance to have their own parts printed using our bespoke service,
why not get some personal service instead of just a bureau?
we are uk based with our own machine & its available to you if you have made a 3d cad file.
your parts will be made on our top quality industrial standard machine.
***we are also offering you your own sales outlet, every 10 of your products we sell you get a product free to the value of one of your own cad files.***
please contact chris by email link above for your personal part quotation.
Our OWN Stratasys Eden 260v 3D Printing (additive manufacturing) machine. Below please find a few quick suggestions for easy 3D models. Saving you time and money in your CAD work. This machine runs at 16 micron layer thickness, just over 0.001" one thou. In a 'Clearish' Acrylic material. Which is amongst the best in the industry currently available
Suggestions for those who wish to supply their own 3D CAD data for us to make models from. This is just our own experience being passed on to assist others. It is NOT a guarantee but it will help you in your designs.
More details will be added to this section as time progresses. Sept 14 Chris Ward
- There are a lot of really good quality 'cheap' 3D CAD packages, better those than a 'Free one' That costs you money every time you want to make parts later on. Take time to study this before getting in to deep.
- Make absolutely sure your CAD program lets you export to a Decent quality and high resolution STL file before you spend hours designing to find you cannot output the file required. This happens a lot with so called FREE 3D CAD packages.
- Reliability, of Data, and the ability to assemble different parts into one assembly is really desirable. As this will give much more flexibility of design later on when you have more than a few files in your folders.
- Ensure each part of your design are actually linked to each other correctly (constrained) if they are not the STL file will not be as you want it. IE Straps Lay on the wooden panels etc, boiler bands are laid on the boiler barrel. No gaps please.
- Don't layout your parts on sprues or frames unless they are exceptionally small, let our software sort out the layout of the parts to give optimum models. I'll be pleased to advise if its better for you to lay them out or us.
- The Model of the IOMR above was designed as all small parts, when I tested the Assembly of the Kit and all components it worked out easier to make the body with all seats and stanchions integral as one piece, this worked out cheaper to build as one part than to split it into 34 small parts.
- 0.3mm is realistically the smallest thickness over any sort of area that should be considered for 3D models using this process. We have successfully made parts with 0.1mm wall section over a small area, but this is NOT recommended.
- 1mm to 1.5mm or above is probably the most cost friendly wall section depending on the size of the part.
- Both of our materials, Model & support are laid down at the same time, cured (heated) by the UV lamps, layer by layer. When the model is completely built by the machine, I remove it and then pressure wash away the support material, leaving the model to dry out before spraying with 'primer' paint.
Our particular machine uses materials which are liquid to enable processing through the 'polyjets' (inkjets in PC printing terms) then as I say they are 'cured' layer by layer with UV lamps. 16 microns is our normal standard. Other types of 3D printing processes are available, but the quality varies accordingly to the technology applied. - Be very clear when comparing prices the different processes give very different results, many people get 'cheap' parts and then regret the purchase. We have gone to a great deal of trouble to source the right process for small detailed parts in the Best material available. We are always looking for improvements.
- Our material is a 'clearish' Acrylic which can be used for all types of models, it accepts Superglue, and other contact adhesives. Grey Primer paints, and then any other paint types. CAB & Coach Glazing is now easy to make and provide Flush Window for your models.
- It gives the best smooth surface finish and toughness of material we can find for our broad spectrum of customers requirements in Model Railways, from Gauge 3, Gauge 1, Gauge O to 009
More details will be added to this section as time progresses. Sept 14 Chris Ward
Very SIMPLE, use BURNISHING (SMOOTHING) THE MODEL SURFACE FOR HALF AN HOUR PAYS DIVIDENDS PRIOR TO PAINTING, USE A 'SMOOTH' METAL ROD, OR BACK EDGE OF A KNIFE, TO GET IN BETWEEN THE DETAIL AND RIVETS. THIS IS EASY AND LETS YOU GET TO KNOW YOUR MODEL PRIOR TO PAINTING. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS ONLY NECESSARY ON A FEW SURFACES, USE AN OLD TOOTHBRUSH TO REMOVE THE DUST. SMOOTHING NOT ABRASION IS THE KEY TO A GOOD SURFACE. THIS APPLIES TO ALL RAPID PROTOTYPING 3D PRINTING MACHINES NOT JUST OURS.

First Aid for Twitter Hijacking
It feels as though February was a bumper month for company Twitter hijacking. Burger King and Jeep both suffered high profile attacks. Scottish Power customers received phishing emails and French news agency APF's photo feed account @AFPphoto was taken over by pro-Syrian lobbyists.
It goes without saying that speed is of the essence to defend your brand against a similar attack. Here's our cut-out-and-keep guide to Twitter hijacking:
Update 2 May 2013: In the light of the recent spate of high profile media hackings, Twitter has issued advice for the media, which where appropriate, I've incorporated into this guide.
Prepare to protect your company Twitter account
- Keep your password strong and secure and change it regularly. How strong? Minimum 20 randomly generated characters including numbers, punctuation and uppercase. Nothing linked to the account please, like 'MyC0mpanYPa55W0rd!'). Never email your password. Use a secure log-in (we use OneLogin and GroupTweet) so you don't have to share the password. Change it every few months.
- Using a Password Manager integrated into your browser can help prevent
successful phishing attacks and will allow you to use very strong passwords which can't be memorised. Third-party solutions such as 1Password or LastPass, as well as the
browser's built-in password manager, will only auto-fill passwords on
the correct website. If the password manager does not auto-fill, this
might indicate a phishing attempt. - Never send logins via email. even internally. Use the phone or IM instead.
- That being said, Twitter uses email for password resets and official communication.Keep your email accounts secure. If your email provider supports two-factor authentication, enable it. Don't use the same passwords for email as for anything else.
- Remember which email address you are using with the account at https://twitter.com/settings/account, and keep it secure.
- Get a mobile/cell number associated with the account via the profile settings and verify it. Consider using the new two-step authentication process offered by Twitter (read eModeration's view on it here).
- Watch your output. Stating the obvious, but make sure that you have a column open watching your feed and that it is monitored as close to 24/7 as you can get.
- Have an escalation process in place with 24/7 contacts and ensure it is available to all who may need it. Keep it updated!
If your Twitter account has been hacked
1. Accounts which don't pay for promoted Tweets
- Change your password immediately, if that's still possible.
- If you can't log in to change it, then request an email from Twitter via the password resend form, which will give you the opportunity to reset it. Be sure to use the username and email address associated with the account.
- Lost access to the email account associated with the account? Try entering the phone number you had verified in that form instead to reset it via SMS.
- If you've lost access to the email address that's linked to your Twitter account and haven't got a phone number associated, you can try contacting your email service provider to try and regain access. Here are contact links to common email providers.
2. Accounts which DO pay for promoted Tweets
- Follow all the steps to try to change the password – but with your other hand, immediately file a report here: https://ads.twitter.com/login/?help=please. Be clear about the name of the company Twitter account and the severity of the hijack.
- Contact your account manager at Twitter who will call the tech teams to shut down the page.
- Follow the escalation plan you have in place which will give you the process and 24/7 contacts for clients (if you are an agency), management, legal, social media team and PR.
After you have control again
- Put out a statement alerting the public to the hacking and misinformation, with an apology to the community.
- Delete the errant tweets and pictures.
- If humour is at all appropriate, then it's an effective method to get the crowd back on your side.

Much of what the holidays are about is remembering those less fortunate, and the Patriots find a way to give back every season.
After beating the Texans on Monday, the Pats welcomed 250 youths from Salvation Army community centers and shelter to Gillette Stadium on Tuesday for some friendly competition. It was all part of the Patriots' 19th annual Children's Holiday Party, and it gave the kids a chance to go head-to-head in games with some of their favorite players — or wrap them up in wrapping paper.
Naoko Funayama takes you to the annual event in the video above.

Hi Everybody! I'm still breaking in my new slider. Awesome thus far I must admit. Any suggestions for a great/the best music app and document app (for word, excel, power point, etc). Free is preferable but I would be more than willing to pay for a reliable and efficient app. I hear there is an app that you pay monthly for unlimited downloads and it lets you keep the music even if you cancel. Also I looked up Documents To Go but the negative reviews scared me. Quick Office seems to be unavailable. Please help. <3pete
First, i recommend the amazon market app, they give you a free app every day. I ve gotten all document apps free from them and like docs to go. They off er these apps every few mos for free, so its a great way to look out. I dont listen to music but mc video player and mx codec pac is a must
Awesome. Thanks for the reply Wake69. I'm still adjusting and getting everything set up. Polaris Office seems great thus far for my documents. MixZing is what I'm currently checking out as a media player. However, the free music or downloaded music I get from the Android Market seems to diretly link to Google Music. Any suggestions on how to carry these music files over to MixZing?
Yeah _ Polaris is really great. Menu at the top is very useful. Zooming is easy (50% t0 200%). Be familiar with it.

ClassicsOnline Home » GOLDMARK: Symphony No. 2, Op. 35 / Penthesilea, Op. 31
Karl Goldmark (1830-1915) Symphony No. 2 in E Flat, Op. 35 Overture: Penthesilea, Op. 31
The Hungarian composer Karl Goldmark was born in Keszthely in 1830, one of the twenty children of a synagogue cantor. In 1834 the family moved to Deutsch-Kreuz and it was there that, in 1841, he was able to receive some elementary musical instruction from a village teacher. The following year he entered the music school at the neighbouring town of Ödenburg, and two years later he moved to Vienna, where he continued his study of the violin under Leopold Jansa, supporting himself as well as he could, until forced by poverty to return to Deutsch-Kreuz.
In 1847 Goldmark entered the Conservatory in Vienna, after first having qualified for entry to the Vienna Technical School. He became a violin pupil of Joseph Böhm and studied music theory, but returned home in 1848, after the closing of the Conservatory in the revolutionary disturbances of that year, in which, through a mistake of identity, he narrowly avoided execution as a rebel. This marked the end of his formal musical training, which was followed by work as a violinist in various theatre orchestras. He taught himself to play the piano, and gave lessons in Vienna, where he returned in 1850 to work at the Josefstadt Theater, continuing to develop his practical knowledge of music and to display this in a series of compositions that attracted little serious attention.
On 20th March, 1857, Goldmark gave a concert of his works, including a piano quartet, an overture, a Psalm for solo voices, chorus and orchestra and some songs. The first of these received a favourable notice, but so little general interest was aroused that he decided to move to Budapest, where he remained for two years, teaching the piano and studying standard contemporary text-books and the music of Bach, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. A further concert of his works was given in 1859 and in 1860 he returned to Vienna, where he was to remain for the rest of his life.
At first supporting himself by giving piano lessons, Goldmark gradually began to achieve fame as a composer. His String Ouartet, Opus 8, won high praise, and even Eduard Hanslick was favourably impressed by the Sakuntala Over1ure, first performed in Vienna in 1865. He wrote as a music critic for the Konstitutionelle Zeitung, and became closely associated with the supporters of Richard Wagner, particularly in the establishment in 1872 of the Vienna Wagner-Verein. The influence of Wagner was to become increasingly strong in his own work as a composer.
In 1875 Goldmark won considerable success with his opera Die Königin von Saba, a work of lavish orchestral colour, which was first performed at the Vienna Court Opera under Wilhelm Gericke, and thereafter by many German and Italian opera companies. In 1910 the opera received its first English performance in Manchester by the Carl Rosa Company. Its composition had taken the composer some ten years, and in 1886 after four years' work, a second opera was completed, Merlin, to be followed by four subsequent operas, two of them, Das Heimchen am Herd ('The Cricket on the Hearth') and Ein Wintermärchen ('A Winter's Tale'), on English subjects, adapted from Dickens and Shakespeare respectively.
In Vienna Goldmark occupied a position of honour. He enjoyed the friendship of Brahms and of Johann Strauss, and his abilities received official recognition at home and abroad. At first an obvious successor to the traditions of Mendelssohn, Schumann and Spohr, he later succumbed to the pervasive influence of Wagner, shown in his Ländliche Hochzeit Symphony, a work that remains marginally in current orchestral repertoire, and in the Overture Penthesilea. His practical experience as a musician and his own studies made him a proficient composer, with a mastery of musical effects, well demonstrated in Die Königin von Saba, and his skill and inventiveness suggest that his music deserves more attention than it has generally received since his death in 1915.
The second of Goldmark's two symphonies was completed in 1887 and published two years later. It is in many ways a work of classical craftsmanship, its first movement showing the influence of Mendelssohn and his precursors, yet without anachronism, since the deft handling of orchestral colour hints in passing at the world of Mahler, a composer who was to receive encouragement from Goldmark in later years, after earlier rejection.
The second movement of the symphony couples a dramatic element with the lyricism that was always a strong feature of Goldmark's work. It leads to a scherzo and trio, the first recalling a slightly sinister fairy world, in contrast to the hymn-like trumpet melody that opens the latter.
The finale opens with a slow introduction, soon replaced by a lively Allegro, its tendency to rapid perpetual motion occasionally interrupted by episodes of a more lyrical nature, clear in texture and, in spite of apparent simplicity, always avoiding the merely commonplace.
Heninrich von Kleist planned his tragedy Penthesilea during his imprisonment in France as a spy in 1807, after an early career as an officer in the First Foot Guards at Potsdam, an unsuccessful attempt to join Napoleon's planned invasion of England and a subsequent abortive conspiracy against Napoleon, after the defeat of Prussia in 1806.
Penthesilea, a tragedy in 24 scenes, was published in Kleist's periodical Phoebus in 1808, and was submitted to Goethe in Weimar. It was rejected by the latter, who did stage Kleist's one-act comedy, Der zerbrochene Krug, its failure ensured by slow performance, lengthened intolerably by the inclusion of a one-act opera, as a curtain-raiser, thus taxing the patience of the Weimar audience beyond endurance.
Penthesilea, which had to wait for public performance until 1876, was far more controversial. Here Kleist reversed the legend of the Amazon queen Penthesilea, traditionally said to have been killed by Achilles during the Trojan War. The queen leads her Amazons against the Greeks, their defeat a necessity for the continuation of the race. Penthesilea has broken Amazon custom by singling out Achilles, whom she at first fails to win, in an otherwise successful campaign. He defeats her, but she loses consciousness, and imagines herself victorious, until Achilles, in love with her, tells her the truth. To win her love in accordance with Amazon tradition he offers himself, unarmed, in single combat. Penthesilea, thinking herself thus scorned, sets her hounds on him helping them tear him in pieces. The tragedy ends with her repentance and death, as she looks forward to rejoining her beloved Achilles in the Elysian fields.
Kleist's play is one of savage intensity, a juxtaposition, as he wrote, of Schmutz und Glanz, squalor and splendour. There is little of the first in Goldmark's overture, published in 1879, a programmatic work that stresses other aspects of a drama that had, in any case, been considerably abridged in its first stage performance. The work shows again the qualities of its composer's craftsmanship, his skilful handling of orchestral effects and his melodic invention, the influence of Liszt and Wagner to be seen in the choice of literary subject and to some extent in the treatment of thematic material, although it lacks the grandiose ambition of Wagner and the originality of Liszt at his best.
Michael Halász Born in Hungary in 1938, Michael Halász began his professional career as principal bassoonist in the Philharmonia Hungarica, a position he occupied for eight years, before studying conducting in Essen. His first engagement as a conductor was at the Munich Gärtnerplatz Theatre, where, from 1972 to 1975, he directed all operetta productions. In 1975 he moved to Frankfurt as principal Kapellmeister under Christoph von Dohnányi, working with the most distinguished singers and conducting the most important works of the operatic repertoire. Engagements as a guest-conductor followed, and in 1977 Dohnányi took him to the Staatsoper in Hamburg as principal Kapellmeister.
In 1978 Michael Halász was appointed General Musical Director at the opera-house in Hagen, and there has further developed his experience of the repertoire, while undertaking guest engagements, which have included television appearances as conductor in English and German versions of the Gerard Hoffnung Music Festival, as well as work with the Philharmonia Hungarica, the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, the Berlin Symphony Orchestra and the Hilversum Radio Orchestra.
For the Marco Polo label, Michael Halász has recorded works by Richard Strauss, Anton Rubinstein, Schreker and Miaskovsky and for Naxos works by Tchaikovsky, Rossini and Beethoven.
The Rhenish Philharmonic Orchestra The Rhenish Philharmonic Orchestra was established in 1945 as the symphony orchestra of Radio Coblenz, and the following year became the orchestra of the newly re-opened Coblenz Opera. In 1973 it became an official orchestra of the State of Rhineland-Pfalz. The orchestra has undertaken a number of tours in Germany, to Salzburg, and to Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland. Some 25 records have been made and there have been frequent appearances on radio and television.
Musicians who have worked with the Rhenish Philharmonic Orchestra include Aram Khatchaturian, Eugen Jochum, Günther Wand, Carlo Zecchi, Salvatore Accardo, Christoph Eschenbach, Henryk Szeryng, Wanda Wilkomirska and Alexis Weissenberg. Since 1981 the Principal Conductor has been the Scottish musician James Lockhart. For Marco Polo the Rhenish Philharmonic recorded symphonies by Méhul and Raff.

- Sally and I wanted to respond to your excellent piece on migration, which you certainly correctly identify as a "political hot potato" .
That you detail the abuses and concerns about the massive worldwide migrant dilemma is certainly worth doing. However, we were pleased that you, in your piece, allowed the key point to be made which Werner Fornos often did at Population Institute (PI), namely that underlying all this adverse migrant movement must be the gross increase in world population.
As you note: "Chamie of the Centre for Migration Studies told IPS the issue of migration has also become timely with the focus on economic uncertainty, in particular the U.S. "fiscal cliff" and economic problems of the European Union.
"While governments and institutions try to grapple with economic uncertainty, an important factor of relative certainty often overlooked is demography," he said.
He said neither political rhetoric nor wishful thinking can dispel the enormous impacts of demography, especially relevant to international migration.
"As a result of differences in population growth and age-structures, as well as in living standards between the more and less developed countries, powerful push-pull factors will continue to produce large streams of international migrants."
As you know, the USA has been a generous (too much so in my view) acceptor of migrants since its immigration laws were changed in 1965, allowing an alien influx of 140 million including their children to the 200 million living here then. Such increases are the most generous among nations of the world.
The rise of protest is not by any means an exclusively right wing concern, but rather a general concern, particularly among average poor and middle class citizens who rightly see a trend of this proportion taking a significant toll on jobs, government benefits and general comity, including the crowding and other environmental impacts now so obvious.
You have long been writing about the urgency of providing birth control, and always tying it to immigration or any of our plundered planet woes offers a powerful avenue to resolution.
America remains beset with those who simply don't make the population, government cost, immigration connection and are hopelessly mired in an ideology against reproductive rights for women.
Texas offered a prime example of how such legislating can backfire, as my OP ED reveals.

And the only reason I even know that is that this was a requirement to be accepted in a New Jersey or NY college. Don't know the number.didn't care. Only had to pass the NY state entrance exams.

No+2At my high school "honor roll" was probably a badge of shame. The grades in my high school were so biased and corrupted that certain "pet students" could get A plus grades on assignments which they did not even do. (I remember one incident where a teacher handed one of these "pet students" an empty midterm test paper with an A plus grade on it as she handed the other students their tests, The teacher's pet hadn't even bothered to take the midterm, unlike the rest of us.) Though I knew some of these "pet students" personally, I was not one of them.
Since I left, the state department of education instituted a required Exit Test for high school students. In two different years, my high school's campus valedictorian flunked the state exit test, wile most of the student body passed it. Apparently, the campus pets could not corrupt the state Exit Test, which was administered by personal from outside the school district. - 666_Maggots~Mr. Arrogant Jew 2012/07/03 21:02:32

WAH-NAILS in London runs HollabackLDN, and posted this on their blog this morning. My favorite part? The "we are everyone, we are everywhere" banners on the sides. With new Hollabacks popping up left and right, this isn't just wishful thinking.
As you know by now, HollabackNYC was developed in 2005 by a group of young adults. In 2010, I became executive director of Hollaback! and the project transformed from a series of local blogs into an international organization. Now, the Hollaback! is looking to hand the management of the NYC website to a group of ten 18-22 young women and LGBTQ individuals who are representative of New York City's diversity in terms of race, socio-economic perspective, and educational background. The youth will receive six months of training, which will include everything from social media, to comment moderation, to event planning. At the end of the training, the youth will be integrated into Hollaback's network and will be handed HollabackNYC to manage on their own.
We couldn't be more excited about this transition. Please help us out by spreading the word about the HollabackNYC Program Director position (or applying yourself!).
This is written by Anna, who plans to start a Hollaback in France!
I'm very sorry for what happened to Sabriya. I'm a French woman who has lived one year in New York City. I don't live in Paris, but I have to say that I've felt much more relax and safe during my staying in NYC that I had in my hometown. Maybe NYC is such a huge city that everyone is more or less anonymous: no one really cares about how the others are dressed, or how they behave. You don't have time to look at a stranger who looks unusual in the street and wonder "what do I think about this?" At least, it is the feeling I had.
I don't want to talk about a cultural difference between our countries as street harassment exists everywhere around the world. I've been street harassed in NYC a few times. Two men gave me the "Hey cutie", others the kissing noise, one put his hand into his pant and smiled when I walked by him, a truck driver honked at me and my girls friends, and, the most disgusting, a man masturbated in front of me in Coney Island.
From my experience, street harassment in France is more intrusive and happens more often. I mean men often come closer, engage a conversation with you. And they stay, they don't just pass by.
Unfortunately, I have very little information on street harassment in France, we actually don't even use the terms "street harassment"! The newspapers articles that I found treated it as a game or as a form of flirting. As for the forums/websites, they're often full of racist comments. That's one of the reasons I decided to start a Hollaback France. Here are the links of two articles (here and here) written by sociologists (in French) about violence in public spaces and women's fears.
We are proud to welcome HollabackPGH to the scene! HollabackPGH is run by two smart, energetic, and dynamic organizers. In their introductory post they wrote:
"We hope that one day, everyone will be free from street harassment, whether it stems from your gender, race, sexual orientation, or anything else. We dream of a world where people don't have to worry that others will harass them based on their appearance or identity when they're just trying to get to work or to a party, and where everyone feels safe to walk alone and take public transportation without hearing phrases like "Hey baby, nice ass," or experiencing the horror of being followed home or groped. We want to be a part of a movement that says that this is NOT OK, and we hope that HollabackPGH! can serve as a rallying point to fight back!"
Let your friends in Pittsburgh know, it's time to stop walking on and start holla'ing back!
I'm a New Yorker living in France and I was wondering if you had any information/statistics/articles on street harassment in France. The reason I'm inquiring is because, yes, obviously as a woman (of color) I've experienced this type of thing everywhere, but I've seriously never experienced it to the degree that I do in France and I'm wondering what is up. Just today, during my 1.5 hour trip grocery shopping, I was followed by a guy who kept telling me I was elegant, a guy stopped dead in his tracks to watch me walk by, a guy yelled from across the street that I was "ravishing", a guy purposely (and obviously) went out of his way to brush up against me while with his WIFE in the pasta aisle, and the finale: a man waiting at a stop light in his car psssssssssst-ed and called me over.. as if!! I'm tired of people telling me I should feel complimented or that it's because I'm attractive or because of what I'm wearing. I hadn't showered, had no make up on, had my hair up and was wearing a T-shirt, cardigan, jeans, flats. It's seriously at the point where I HATE leaving my house and it doesn't help that a month ago a guy in a secluded area of a park approached me and lifted up my skirt. I've started warning friends that I can't stay out past dark bc I already know I WILL BE harassed by someone on my way home. I want to think that there's no difference in male privilege/entitlement between the two countries, but my experience is telling me otherwise. I have never felt so intimidated by this type of harassment.

August 28, 2012 Creating a Nightly Ritual A Special Goodnight At the end of the day, as the sweet, dark stillness of night beckons us to lay down our bones and rest, we find ourselves at a clear transition point: Behind us lies the previous day and all that has come before; ahead of us, dawn heralds the unfolding of all that is yet to be. While many of us have morning rituals that connect us with our center and help us to set intentions, we may want to explore the magic and power of nighttime ritual as well. It holds for us a beautiful chance for self-appreciation and blessing. Before you go to bed each night, you can send gratitude, compassion, and healing to the being you have been up until this moment. And you can send lightness and love into the future for the one you are in the process of becoming. Though simple, this action honors the journey you have taken thus far, while opening you to the wonderful possibilities still ahead. When you consciously engage with your own evolution this way, you may find that your sleep gets sweeter, filling your night with a deeper sense of trust and relaxation. As you rest, you can surrender to these peaceful hours, knowing that the road behind you has been seen and acknowledged with respect and kindness, while the path ahead now holds your own benevolence and well wishes. This bedtime ritual empowers you as the only one who can determine the meaning of your own past and the hopefulness of your future. By setting this special time aside each night, you can begin to orient yourself on your path of growing. It allows you to let the past have its place, to trust that the future is taken care of, and to simply rest yourself in the graceful arms of the present moment For more information visit dailyom.com

Subject: | Creating infrastructure to allow one kernel for multiple machines |

On ARM and PowerPC, you can compile one kernel that will support multiple machines, as long as they all belong to the same group (e.g. have a compatible CPU). On ARM, each machine needs to register a machine id at http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/ and then the boot loader passes this value to the kernel via a register. On PowerPC, information about the machine can be found in OF's device-tree. On MIPS, you need a separate kernel for each machine, which makes it hard for distros to support many machines. For example, it would be nice if you could compile one kernel for vr41xx devices since they only differ slightly, e.g. in their PCI mappings. I'm therefore wondering if there are any plans to introduce a scheme on MIPS that would allow one kernel for several machines. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ |

Doody's Review Service
Reviewer: Nathan A Nicholson, B.S.(University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine)Description: This book provides high-yield USMLE step 1-style clinical vignettes followed by excellent explanations, which helps solidify the question and the information.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide high-yield clinical vignettes that will likely show up on the USMLE Step 1. Indeed, many of them were represented on Step 1.
Audience: It is intended for students preparing for the exam.
Features: The best thing about this book is the format of presenting a clinical vignette followed by in-depth explanations, a method that I have not seen used before. It also provides adequate diagrams to help in the explanation of the vignette. The only shortcoming is that the book is not a comprehensive review of what students need to know for Step 1.
Assessment: This is an excellent book for high-yield clinical vignettes that are tested on USMLE Step 1, but it is not as comprehensive as First Aid for the USMLE Step 1, Le et al. (McGraw-Hill, 2012).

Is it possible to rip the T2PC (DOS) sprites ? How ?
Okay, then... I'll have to make screenshots...
Maybe ask team Pekaro ( http://www.pekaro.de ) , if they give them to you. They used them for T2002 and replaced some with Amiga sprites later. You can rip those from T2002, which stayed the PC versions. Open them with a hex editor, and replace the ## with BM, in order to save them as bitmaps.
Okay, thanx. I just wondered how Brent McGuire got the PC sprites... You've already explained the tip for the ## > BM (I had a look here).
Yes, I explained it quite often, so I lost the overview.... But what do you need the PC sprites for, if I may ask? In my opinion most of them are not as nice as the Amiga ones...
I was just looking for the PC sprites of Turrican and the 'Walker' (I prefer those to the Amiga ones). If you want to know the reason why I need these sprites, check out my posts here (yes, same topic ).

I am new to the Apple world. I just bought my very first Macbook Pro 15 (2007) version for 500.00! 120 GB HD, 2 GB Ram. It is used and I have had it for about three weeks and LOVE it!! Now, a friend of mine has an iMac (2009) version in great shape. 4GB Ram, 300 GB HD. He is wanting to trade me my macbook pro for his imac. Is this a good deal or would I be better off keeping the toy that I have?? |

To me it wouldn't be about the relative cost as much as whether I wanted a desktop or laptop.
I am not up that much on cost of used Macs but if I had to guess I would say the iMac is roughly equivalent value assuming it is the smaller iMac (check at Mac2Sell and other sites if it is that important to you). Bottomline: if you want a laptop keep your MBP. If you are hankering for a desktop trade for the iMac and make you and your friend happy. I've always wanted to be smart, handsome and modest. But, I guess I'll have to be satisfied with two out of three . . . |

To me it all boils down to if you need the portability of the laptop.
The iMac is an upgrade in terms of hardware, but it also isn't something that you can put into a briefcase and lug around town. If you're going to visit someone it's easy to grab a laptop. It is a lot more difficult to bring along your iMac. |

The ideal situation is to have both. I keep our iMac on the desk at the office and use my older MacBook for those times I need portability. Even better for myself would be an iPad rather than the older MacBook. But we're waiting to see what iPad 3 will be like. Probably won't see that until 2012.

Recoil lug
There is a question in my mind as to if the 3 to 4 inch 100 yard groups could be do to the lack of adequate left recoil lug mating? Any smiths please chime in. The first pic, 326, is the left lug. The second, 327, is the right lug.

IMHO, even lug mating is such a minor part of the accuracy picture that I would look at other factors first. Things like bedding, loose screws, bad crown, so-so ammo, would be on my list of possibilities to be looked at.
What kind of rifle? What caliber? What sights are you using? What ammo are you using? How good a shot are you with other guns? Etc., etc. FWIW, those are locking lugs. "Recoil lug" is the term usually used for a part of the receiver or a plate between barrel and receiver that fits down into a cutout in the stock to spread the recoil to the stock. Jim

Jim, thanks for the reply. Your statement as to the infrequency that lug mating plays into the accuracy equation is what I wanted to know. I have looked into all the other aspects you have mentioned. I am going to put a proven scope on and try more loads and see how that works.
