Some quick basics:
I'm 32, male, German and working.
Just recently I have moved back to Berlin after spending 2.5 years in Singapore.
Dominik has completed online and offline ID verification.
Nice area, nice flat, great room. Communication was just perfect! hope to come back very soon
This was a great spot to explore Berlin from as it's a 5 minute walk to the U8. This area of Kreuzberg has a lot to offer in the way of food (vegan and vegetarian food even--check Foursquare!) including restaurants, a great marketplace and several grocery stores. However, it's quiet at night, at least in winter. It's a large shared flat; all our flatmates were nice and respectful. We didn't meet Dominik as he was traveling, but he was still very responsive and left us a helpful booklet with information on the apartment and the neighborhood. His brother Tobias also lives here and handled our check-in, check-out and random questions. The apartment is a little old but not in a bad way; everything works fine and we were plenty warm even though it was the middle of January. I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you want to visit Berlin on a budget!
Hatte ein paar tolle Tage in Berlin. Dominik war zu der Zeit nicht im Land, konnte ihn also nicht persönlich kennen lernen, aber sein Bruder hat ihn als Gastgeber gut vertreten. Das Zimmer ist in einer Wohngemeinschaft mit ausschließlich lieben Menschen. Sehr sauber, hell und gemütlich.
This place is amazing. Dominik, the owner, is like an angel keeping you all fine. His little brother (while I been hosted) is also a cool guy who always gives you whatever you need. September 2014 Place is located in a quiet part of street but in main area of kreuzberg, which makes it a perfect thing in the area. The room is big enough for all needs. You get a nice shower, also there is a fast wifi. You get a table to work on. A closet and huge mirror. Just amazing room. I'll be back.
Everything was just perfect. Communication with the host, the room, location of the apartment. Also the other people who live there were very nice. I would definitely suggest this place.
Dominik's flatmates are very helpful and kind. The apartment's location is great.
Beautiful apartment in a super convenient location. Dominik had also thought of everything, with clean sheets, fresh towels, and a neighborhood guide ready to go!
The house is located about 10 mins away from MRT Somerset Station, easy access to the shopping area. Didn't get to meet Dominik but his roommates are all very friendly. Had a great time there!
Dominik was a great host and he let me ckeck-in really early and I could do mi check-out quite late, I really appreciated that. The room was spacious and the private bathroom was pretty big and nice. I would definitely recommend his place, I f you're going to Singapore. You're quite close to te action of the city. All the best, Miriam and Oliver
Dominik was friendly and solicitous, generous with his time and his space. I felt well looked after. The place is all it's cracked up to be: spacious, comfortable, with spectacular views and a convenient location. I was able to bus to everywhere I wanted to be. The bathroom in particular was awesome. Twin powerful showers with plenty of hot water. Good wifi and even a surround sound system (not that I had time to use it). Would definitely consider Dominik's place the next time I'm in Singapore.
Everything went well with Dominik´s stay, all the rules were respected and the apartment was left in perfect conditions. Highly recommended!
Ich selbst habe Dominik nicht kennen gelernt. Ich hatte mich mit seinem Freund ausgetauscht. Die Kommunikation klappte gut.
Dominik was a very nice guest. Left the house clean and nice. would recommend
Dominik, è stato il primo ospite in tre anni che ha dovuto aspettarmi per il check-in... di solito sono io che aspetto gli ospiti, a volte diverse ore. Ma Dominik è una persona precisa e questo è ul lato positivo della sua personalità. Detto ciò, i giorni trascorsi nel mio B&B sono stati molto tranquilli e abbiamo avuto modo di conoscerci e poter parlare di ciò che ci interessava. Una persona corretta e affidabile che consiglio di avere ospite.
Dominik Lindenberger, E' un giovane molto serio, rispettoso, garbato e discreto, molto pulito e gentile, prima di partire mi ha regalato i fiori e un bellissimo biglietto che ho gradito.
Dominik is very nice and easy-going. I recommend him...
Dominik sent his friend to us, and he left our place so clean our cleaners didn't have much work to do :) thanks, Dominik!! Hope to meet you one day too!! Cheerios ;)
Dominik is a calm guest. Talking as needed. He is kind and good, and also keep room always in order. I recommend him to be a guest for Airbnb host. Welcome Dominik at any time at Villa Cilinaya Ubud Bali.
Dominik and his friend were our first airbnb guests, he was very communicative about his time of arrival, very friendly and kept the apartment clean. Do stay with us again if you feel like going to Damai anytime soon :)

At multipoles , the CMB anisotropies become sensitive to fundamental cosmological parameters, such as the spatial curvature of the Universe, the baryon density and the Hubble constant. Some specific examples have been shown in Figure 1.9a. With the high sensitivity, angular resolution and large sky coverage afforded by PLANCK it is possible, with certain general assumptions, to determine these fundamental parameters to a precision of a few percent (see eg, Bond, Efstathiou & Tegmark 1997, Zaldarriaga, Spergel & Seljak 1997, Efstathiou & Bond 1999).
The unique ability of Planck to distinguish between theoretical models with very similar cosmological parameters is illustrated in figure 1.9a. In this figure, we compare CMB power spectra for spatially flat adiabatic CDM models with different parameters and compare the ability of MAP and Planck to differentiate between them.
Parameter | MAP | MAP+ | PLANCK LFI | PLANCK HFI | |
b/ b | 0.11 | 0.05 | 0.016 | 0.0068 | |
c/ c | 0.21 | 0.11 | 0.04 | 0.0063 | |
0.15 | 0.081 | 0.035 | 0.0049 | ||
r | 0.81 | 0.67 | 0.13 | 0.49 | |
ns | 0.066 | 0.032 | 0.01 | 0.005 | |
nt | 0.74 | 0.72 | 0.57 | ||
0.22 | 0.19 | 0.18 |
Determining fundamental cosmological parameters with high accuracy would lead to a profound change in our understanding of cosmology. For example:
These and many other questions will, for the first time, be open to quantitative analysis. PLANCK would truly revolutionize cosmology, turning it from a qualitative science fraught with systematic errors and uncertainties, into a quantitative science in which most of the key parameters are constrained to high precision.
Figure 1.9b shows examples of the correlations between some of these parameters. In Figure 1.9b we have assumed a universe with ,h = 0.5, , spectral index ns=1, r=1, ,and a normalization of K to match the amplitude of the second year COBE measurements at large angular scales. The figure shows likelihood contours for representative pairs of parameters marginalized over all other parameters for CMB experiments at two angular resolutions, and .In both cases we have assumed that 1/3 of the sky is mapped at a sensitivity of per resolution element.
This figure shows that: (1) the parameters , h and are relatively weakly coupled with each other and that the accuracy with which these parameters can be measured is strongly dependent on angular resolution; (2) some parameters are strongly coupled, for example the amplitude Qrms and spectral index ns, but again with the angular resolution of PLANCK the uncertainty on each parameter can be reduced to a few percent; (3) the uncertainty on the amplitude of the gravitational wave component of the fluctuations, r, depends only weakly on angular resolution because it is determined by low order multipoles (cf. e.g. Knox 1995).
In summary, the analysis of this section shows that observations of the CMB anisotropies with PLANCK are capable of determining fundamental cosmological parameters to high precision. The only assumptions involved are that the primordial fluctuations are adiabatic and characterized by an approximately power-law spectral index, assumptions which themselves can be verified from the PLANCK maps of the CMB anisotropies. The physics underlying these predictions is extremely well understood, involving only linear perturbation theory, and hence the theoretical predictions presented here should be realistic. The analysis provided in From Observations to Scientific Information shows that the frequency coverage and high sensitivity of PLANCK will allow subtraction of foregrounds and discrete sources, so that the CMB anisotropies should be retrieved over at least 1/3 of the sky with a sensitivity of , as assumed in this Section. No other technique is capable of yielding results of such precision for parameters that have yet to be measured reliably, despite many decades of research.

Trying to mount the whole image didn't work. I was hoping I could do Well of course, since "mounting" implies a filesystem and how is the mount command to know which partition you want to mount and what filesystem it is to mount? For all it knows you can have 4 partitions with 4 different filesystems on it and how is it to choose the correct one? Remember mounting = enabling a filesystem (in a device or file or...) to be used via a filesystem driver and exported to a mountpoint (/mnt for example). In order to do what you're really after you either use your offset trickery OR use a kernel that can mount partitioned loopback OR write the image to another disk. that so it gives me the possibility of modifying the partition table of the bad disks that refuse to mount under either OS. If you want to play with the whole device (ie not files) then you can just run your favorite partition program on your image file or your favorite binary patching program on the image file. Basically I want to play with bad disks' images to see if I can recover any data without actually modifying the disks.Is there any work around for this ? Should I create a device (rather than a loop) for the whole image ? I think you have the terminology a little mixed up. If you mount a something without supplying -o loop "mount" will assume the filesystem resides in a DEVICE. If you mount a something WHILE supplying -o loop you tell "mount" that it should mount it using a loop device. Note device here, it's trickery really as what it does is that "mount" will FIRST create a new device node "/dev/loop0" for example and then it will mount from that device node. So "should I create a device .." is a little mixed up as that's what mount is doing deep inside. I should mention that creating the whole disk image by using dd under Irix6.5 and using the same mount command as above in Linux didn't work! Something might have gone wrong during the file transfer from Irix to Linux. If I get a chance I'll try it again. If you do, then create a checksum (sha1sum och md5sum or something) and compare the image before and after transfer to make sure it's identical. // Stefan |

After searching for a more inspired way to indulge his chart-topping contemporary jazz sound, saxophonist/composer/arranger Euge Groove has created his most personal statement to date as an artist. On Born 2 Groove, the versatile saxophonist surrounds himself with an array of masterful gospel musicians who speak a completely different musical language. The result is ten brand new tracks, seven of which were recorded completely live. With special guest appearances by the great Jeffrey Osborne on "Baby If You Only Knew (What I Could Do)" and former Temptations lead singer Ali "Ollie" Woodson on "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know," Groove should also gain even more appreciation for his musical interpretations from his ever-increasing R&B fan base. The song's themes range from the gently playful and laid-back feeling heard on the opening track "A Summer's Night Dream" to the beautiful Italian inspired imagery inherent in "Caf? del Soul" to the spiritual essence of "Religify." Groove flat out seduces you, moves you and grooves you on this record. Several of his performances, including "Slow Jam," "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know," "Movin' On," the title track, and "Mr. Groove" reveal him as an accomplished, instinctive musician. His emotional solos and different chord voicings within a larger harmonic setting give him an edge over several of his generation's contemporary jazz counterparts. This CD is where the real players play. Fans of Euge Groove will experience a premium new sound set in HD digital technology that is filled with his incomparable saxophone voices, stirring gospel riffs and emotional, soulful vocals, all of which set a new standard for Groove's distinctive contemporary jazz sound. ~ Paula Edelstein | |

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Carl Edwards did everything right in his quest to win NASCAR's championship.
He was strong and steady for 10 consecutive weeks, he salvaged solid finishes on the days his Roush Fenway Racing team struggled, and he stood steely in the path of Tony Stewart's unyielding verbal assault.
In almost any other year — and all five in the Jimmie Johnson reign — he would have woken up Monday a NASCAR champion.
Not this year, though. And there's nothing he could have done differently to change the outcome.
Edwards went round-for-round with Stewart in what might be the greatest fight for the title in NASCAR and lost. The two finished tied in the final Sprint Cup Series points standings — a first in NASCAR — and Stewart took the tiebreaker based on his five victories to Edwards' one.
So despite winning the pole, leading the most laps in Sunday's season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway and finishing second to Stewart, Edwards went home the bridesmaid in what many think might be the most gripping championship-deciding race ever.
"We knew we could come into this thing, and we knew that of all of the circumstances that could happen, this one was the least probable," Edwards said. "I mean, for us to finish like that, tied, fighting for the win. That is the least probable outcome."
If somebody had told Edwards a month ago that he would close the season with three consecutive second-place finishes and that he would close the 10-race Chase with a 4.9-average finish, he would most certainly have bet the house on his odds to win the title.
But who could have known that a version of Stewart not seen in these parts for years would clog his path?
See, Smoke and his skills, his ability to do anything he wants in a race car, his fearlessness and reckless abandon, it's almost legendary. People talk of that Stewart with awe and revere and dole out the highest of compliments when they describe him, simply, as "a racer."
And, yeah, the reputation precedes him. The reality, though, was Stewart hadn't driven up to his reputation, at least not in NASCAR, for some time — and that was evident at the start of this season when he lost the Daytona 500 on the final restart.
He slogged through the season, flirting with wins early, only to lose out by silly mistakes. Then his Stewart-Haas Racing team lost direction, and Stewart all but abandoned any hope of being a major player in the championship race.
Something changed in the last six weeks, though, and when Stewart got his eyes set on a third championship, nothing was getting in his way.
"When someone wants to win like that, they aren't going to give up," A.J. Foyt, Stewart's childhood idol, said on Monday.
"Tony was not going to quit. Period. Now, I knew Carl Edwards wasn't going to lay down. But I'm pretty certain Carl Edwards didn't know Tony's will. Come hell or high water, Tony was winning the whole thing."
So that's how they got to late Sunday night, when a disappointed Edwards sat silently in Homestead's media center watching Stewart's championship celebration on a bank of televisions. He had shaken Stewart's hand, and he had consoled crew chief Bob Osborne, who had to be devastated by the final outcome.
But Edwards himself? He didn't pout. He didn't scowl. And if he had himself a good cry, he most certainly didn't do it in public.
There are those who say Edwards is so image-conscious that he must been less than genuine. But his conduct in the hours after Sunday's race showed just how to act with class and sportsmanship in the face of defeat.
"I told myself, I told my family, that the one thing I'm going to do is I'm going to walk back to that motorhome, win, lose or draw, and I'm going to be a good example for my kids and work hard and go be better next season," Edwards said.
Edwards knows he can't dwell on the Chase, and even if he did second-guess the past 10 weeks, he would be hard-pressed to find a single thing he could have done differently. Edwards talked of taking his family to the beach on Monday, of helping Roush-Fenway celebrate Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s Nationwide title, of getting back into the gym and starting the preparations for 2012, when he will try again to win his first Cup title.
"At least we know that we can compete with any of these people," Edwards said. "We can compete with a three-time champion winning half of the Chase races. We can still score as many points as them. That's a big deal. And I know that there are a lot of tests in life, and I think that the last three or four weeks have been a huge test for me and for my team mentally.
''For us to keep our confidence up, to keep our cool, and to go out and perform and do our jobs, I'm really proud and believe next year we'll do even better."

Santana is a rock band based around talented guitarist Carlos Santana and founded in the late 1960s. The band first came to public attention after their performing the song "Soul Sacrifice" at the Woodstock Festival in 1969, when their Latin rock provided a contrast to other acts on the bill. This initial exposure made their first, eponymous album a hit at the time, followed in the next two years by successful follow-ups Abraxas and Santana III. Over the years, and despite a constantly changing line-up, Santana has achieved a total of eight Grammy Awards. In 1998, the group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, with Carlos Santana, Jose Chepito Areas, David Brown, Mike Carabello, Gregg Rolie and Michael Shrieve being honored.
Santana was formed originally in 1967 in San Francisco, California. Carlos Santana is a Mexican-born American. Originally named The Santana Blues Band, they rose to international fame when they performed at the Woodstock festival in 1969. This led to their second studio album, Abraxas (1970), becoming a Latin-Rock standard and a huge critical and commercial success. Over the years their line-up has changed constantly, allowing them to evolve with the times. Over 50 musicians have been in Santana over its 40 year history, but the only constant has been Carlos Santana himself. Various successful bands have been spawned by Santana, most notably Journey, formed by keyboardist Gregg Rolie and guitarist Neal Schon, both key members of Santana's early days. Following a brief quiet period in the early 1990s, Santana returned to stardom by releasing two successful albums, Shaman and Supernatural, featuring various guest vocalists.
Santana is a Latin rock band. Founded in San Francisco during the late 1960s, it is based around the compositions and playing of lead guitarist and founder Carlos Santana. The band first came to widespread public attention when their performance of their Latin rock song "Soul Sacrifice" at Woodstock in 1969 provided a contrast to other acts on the bill. This exposure helped propel their first album, also named Santana, into a hit, followed in the next two years by the successful Abraxas and Santana III.
In the years that followed lineup changes were common. Carlos Santana's increasing involvement with guru Sri Chinmoy took the band into more esoteric music, though never quite losing its initial Latin influence.
In 1998, the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with Carlos Santana, Jose Chepito Areas, David Brown, Gregg Rolie, Mike Carabello and Michael Shrieve being honored.
The band has earned eight Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards, the latter all in 2000. Carlos also won Grammy Awards as a solo artist in 1989 and 2003. Santana has sold more than 90 million records worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling groups of all time. In 2013, Santana announced a reunion of the classic line-up for a new record, predicting a 2014 release. They are tied with having with having the most won Grammys in one night.
The group formed in the Latin District of San Francisco. They are named after group leader Carlos Santana, and were originally known as the Santana Blues Band.
It's one of the few groups named after a guitarist in the band (The J. Geils Band is another).
They appeared at both the original and second Woodstock. Carlos was having a mescaline experience at the original Woodstock: "I was praying to God to keep me in time and in tune."
Carlos launched a line of shoes at J.C. Penny in 2000. He did not design them, but they were supposed to be inspired by his music. Proceeds go to children's charities.
When Neal Schon entered the group, there was some controversy because he was white. Carlos Santana wanted to try a 2-guitar sound, and thought he was a great player, even though he didn't have Latin heritage. Schon and Rolie formed Journey when they left the group.
When the band had some hits and became a popular live draw, some of the members started using drugs, and Carlos thought they were getting lazy at their shows. He briefly left the band, but rejoined them later on tour.
Carlos Santana had a huge resurgence when his 1999 album Supernatural was released. Pairing Carlos with popular young singers like Rob Thomas, Everlast and Dave Matthews was a winning combination, and made Santana relevant to a whole new generation. The album was the big winner at the 2000 Grammy Awards.
Some of Santana's early hits were new arrangements or adaptations of other artists' material: "Jingo" from Babatunde Olatunji, Willie Bobo's "Evil Ways," Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va," and Peter Green's "Black Magic Woman" (a big UK single for the late '60s Fleetwood Mac).
In addition to being husband and wife for 34 years, Carlos Santana and his wife, Deborah, have also owned businesses and started a children's charity, the Milagro Foundation, together. In late 2007, Deborah filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences."

The film wasishuge. So it's all the more entrancing to see Elkins's Fraulein Maria presented by dancemOpolitan at Joe's Pub, where the musical's vision of romance, family fun, and looming danger (Hitler's takeover of Austria) has been reduced to fit the very small stage and intimate atmosphere, and its treacly but irresistible sweetness given a few raunchy pomo tweaks by Elkins and colleagues. Where the movie's director, Robert Wise, panned over the Alps for a very long time before zooming in on the tiny figure of Maria twirling on a grassy hill, Elkins has two people push through the crowded room bearing two sparkly little fir trees. Julie Andrews's inimitable spun-sugar voice singing the title song accompanies not one but two Marias (Arthur Aviles and Jennifer Nugent) in blue dresses and white aprons, who frolic like puppies in their joy and indulge in a little flying sex.
Elkins, who's been scarce on the New York scene for too long, brings to Fraulein Maria not only his apparently encyclopedic knowledge of the film and its backstory but his choreographic skills and wit. Carolyn Cryer, Krista Jansen, Alexis Murphy, and Charemaine Seet wear lavender hoodies to play the nuns who chatter about the novice Maria's lack of docility. In their "Morning Hymn and Alleluia," they perform almost all their small gestures in canon: now me, now you, now her, now her. In "Maria," they form a line, hand to-elbow, and jointly evoke a hip-hop wave. "The Lonely Goatherd" puppet show put on by the von Trapp kids is reconfigured as a charming stamp-and clap number for the same four women (now costumed in fur-trimmed vests and hats with extremely long feathers).
Remember Julie Andrews's long argument with herself as she skips down the road to take up her job as governess ("I Have Confidence")? Elkins has dual aspects of Maria (Nugent and Nicole Wolcott) battle it outentering along the low wall that runs through the audience and coming out on stage suitcases swinging. The choreography takes slightly more devilish view of the duet "Sixteen Going On Seventeen." In the movie it's the soon-to-be nazified telegraph delivery boy who urges the eldest von Trapp daughter Liesel to control her yen for kisses. This show's Liesel is David Parker in a large white satin dress demurely reading in a chair, and her very randy boyfriend is that snake-hipped house dancer par excellence, Archie Burnett.
There are many delights in Elkins's tongue-in-cheek homage to a classic. Johnnie Moore in a too-large tailcoat fussily both impedes and instructs singer Mark Gindick as Gindrick delivers "Do-Re-Mi" as a sing-along. Keely Garfield seems less the smitten Maria and more the sly Baroness (hiss!) in a duet with Elkins (although maybe it's about the initial tussling between Captain von Trapp and Maria). Elkins performs "Climb Every Mountain" alone as a fluid meld of hip-hop and contemporary dance; never moving from one spot onstage, he maintains a sinuous twisting and curling of arms, hips, head, and knees that's as arduous as it is understated. And Sound of Music fans chuckle and guffaw over the choreography's references to the von Trapp children's propensity for bouncing up and down and popping in and out of line.
My personal favorite of the evening is Elkins take on "Do-Re-Mi." Embellishing the structure of the learn-to-sing number, he creates a little movement motif for each of the notes of the the scale (Aviles is especially rapt as the note "re", the "drop of golden sun"), then mixes and combines these in wildly jubilant dancing that reflects Maria's lesson: that the notes of a scale can be turned into glorious music.
What finer message for a happy crowd to take out onto the Christmas ready streets than one of diversity and freedom cohabiting with group harmony?

Romeo and JulietCentral Arizona College Community EventsThursday, February 21, 2013 at 7:00 PM (MST) |
The ultimate love story etched into history by Shakespeare, performed by the renown Utah Shakespeare Festival's Touring Troupe is coming to CAC! Bring your "star-crossed" lover for an evening to remember!
Doors open at 6:20 p.m. Box office opens at 6 p.m.
In its 16th year, this educational outreach program features a 75-minute version of Shakespeare's tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet, including complete costumes, sets, and theatrical lighting. Also included is a fifteen-minute post-show discussion with the actors with optional workshops in Stage Combat, Performing Shakespeare's Text, and Developing Character through Improvisation.
"The educational tour is our favorite piece of programming that we have here at the Festival, as well as our most important," said Brian Vaughn, co-artistic director. "This tour will introduce hundreds of students to the power of William Shakespeare's written word. There's a communal impact and vitality that one gleans by attending live theatre, and through these plays we usher in the next generation of playgoers that will keep our craft vital and alive."
When examining this play director John Maclay asked the question "why is Shakespeare still popular today?" He believes that Shakespeare truly understood what it meant to be human and he understood how to describe that to an audience. "His language is truthful and the relationships in his plays are truthful," said Maclay. "Given the parameters of the world of the play, people are willing to suspend their disbelief when they believe in the story being told, and I believe in Romeo and Juliet."
The play is set in a modern time period with hints of Asian influences. Costume Designer Christina Leinicke uses color to delineate the alliances; teal is for the Montagues, gold represents the Capulets and white is neutral. The set is also symbolic in its design. Scenic Designer and Props Director Ben Hohman created a bridge that enhances the separation between the two feuding families until Romeo and Juliet fall in love thus bridging the gap and connecting Montagues and Capulets. The show's music and lighting are also used to heighten the overall theatricality.
Professionals from all over the country will perform in this production of Romeo and Juliet. This eleven-person group serves as both the acting company and the support crew with eight actors, a company manager, a stage manager, and a technical director. The actors include four returning Festival company members, as well as four first-time actors.
The four returning actors were all seen in this past 2012 season at the Festival: Chris Klopatek (Romeo) performed in Hamlet, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Les Misérables; Chris received his MFA in acting from the University of California–Irvine. Melisa Pereyra (Juliet) performed in Titus Andronicus and Scapin; Melisa received her MFA in classical acting from Illinois State University. Josh Innerst (Friar/Tybalt) performed in Titus Andronicus, Mary Stuart, and The Merry Wives of Windsor; Josh received his MFA in classical acting from Illinois State University. And Elizabeth Telford (Lady Capulet) performed in The Greenshow and Les Misérables; Elizabeth received her BFA in musical theatre from Shorter University.
The four new actors to work with the Festival are Zack Powell (Mercutio/Ensemble) who received his MFA in acting from Illinois State University, Elyse Edelman (Benvolio/Friar) who received her BFA in acting from the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Theater program, Thomas J. Novak (Capulet) who received his BA in directing and performance from Carthage College, and Sara Zientek (Nurse) who received her BA in acting from UW-Milwaukee.

Tim Burton has always been known as one of the more offbeat directors in Hollywood. With his use of gothic imagery and bizarre plots, his movies have always straddled the line between the mainstream and the truly disturbed. And in his latest flick, Frankenweenie, it looks like Burton has achieved a level of weird that few directors ever have.
Frankenweenie reimagines the story of Frankenstein with a young boy in place of the crazed Dr. Frankenstein and his resurrected dog as the monster. We can assure you that this is the only kids movie in the history of cinema that features a scene where a child digs up the corpse of his four-legged best friend and shocks him back to life.
Done entirely in black and white, the stop-motion animation here captures the horror aesthetics of the classic Universal monster movies, while also bringing the modern charm of recent CGI animated films like Shrek and The Lorax. If done right, Frankenweenie could be a nice change of pace from the cookie-cutter animated films of recent years; however, if done poorly, it could traumatize an entire generation of children. Either way, we're pretty excited.
Frankenweenie will hit theaters on October 5.

Actors Lend Support To Global Charities
After attending events for the Harlem Village Academies and the Global Poverty Project, actor Hugh Jackman fought for the underprivileged at the Children of the City Benefit Gala at Chelsea Piers last week.
"My dad always taught us to take care of your family and to think as wide as you can with your community," Mr. Jackman said. "In New York, everybody gets together and looks after their own. I missed a sense of community when I was in Los Angeles."
At the Longchamp store in SoHo, actresses Cynthia Nixon and Claire Danes supported the nonprofit Afghan Hands, which produces embroidered scarves and provides employment for Afghani women whose husbands were killed by the Taliban. About $50,000 was raised for the charity, which was founded by their friend and makeup artist Matin Maulawizada.
"We don't understand what it is like to literally be a slave in your own household and be beaten," said Ms. Nixon. "Matin has given these women a way to have confidence in themselves and their skills, and they're receiving a salary that they can bring into their families."

Latest Headlines
T-Mobile US indicated it plans to discontinue its support for the federal Lifeline phone program, which provides subsidized phone service to low-income Americans, as of the end of 2014. The carrier said the move will impact its operations in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, New Hampshire, New York and Tennessee and Washington, D.C.
AT&T Mobility's Cricket prepaid brand is planning to phase out its support for the government's Lifeline service. The company said it will continue to support its existing Lifeline customers on CDMA phones for the next 18 months or so, and that it will not sign up any new Lifeline customers on Cricket GSM phones.
Poor Americans are driving the mobile-only trend, according to a survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In its ongoing effort to clean the Lifeline program of waste and fraud, the FCC came down hard on five carriers that use the service, including TracFone Wireless, and proposed around $14.4 million in fines against the companies accused of breaking the commission's rules. The Lifeline program helps provide wireless service to low-income Americans.
In the second quarter of 2013, the industry grew by 335,000 subscribers, which is the lowest subscriber-add number this millennium. A significant reason for the low growth is that approximately 1 million Lifeline connections had to be disconnected because the carriers were unable to verify eligibility. The industry make-up also changed considerably in Q2.
América Móvil's U.S. TracFone unit reported stronger subscriber growth and gains in average revenue per user in the first quarter. Though the parent company did not mention it, TracFone's Straight Talk launched support for Apple's iPhone in January, which likely helped boost its first quarter numbers.
The U.S. Senate voted against a proposal that would have cut cell phones out of the FCC's Lifeline program. The vote, largely along party lines, likely will generate a sigh of relief among the likes of TracFone, AT&T Mobility, Sprint Nextel and other wireless carriers that receive Lifeline funds in order to provide wireless service to low-income Americans.
América Móvil's U.S. MVNO, TracFone Wireless, posted net subscriber gains of 753,000 customers in the fourth quarter, much higher than the year-ago period and better than its net subscriber additions in the first three quarters of 2012. It is unclear if the company was affected earlier this year by regulatory changes to the FCC's Lifeline program, in which TracFone is a key player.
Sprint Nextel's Virgin Mobile reduced the number of its Lifeline subscribers by almost half, according to the results of a Wall Street Journal investigation into changes in the FCC's Lifeline program. Although Virgin shed the largest number of subscribers, the carrier wasn't alone: According to the WSJ, AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless and others also reduced the number of subscribers eligible for Lifeline money.
América Móvil's U.S. MVNO, TracFone, offered additional details on its pilot program to deliver mobile broadband to low-income Americans as part of the FCC's Lifeline initiative. The action was a response to criticism that TracFone called in political favors in order to participate in the program, and that the program itself is not effective.

Until you asked, this physician always figured it was the hand signal used by skiers hitchhiking to and from their down-valley hovels. Turns out, skier's thumb is an injury of the ulnar collateral ligament—the one on the inner side of the digit that holds the bones together at the metacarpophalangeal joint. It accounts for 8 to 10 percent of all skiing injuries, and for good reason: When you fall with a ski pole in your grip, the implement acts as a fulcrum that can cause the ligament to stretch or tear. Should this happen, you'll suffer pain at the base of the thumb, topped off by swelling, black-and-blue discoloration, and weakness of grasp. If you tear the ligament completely, plan on surgery and four months' rehab. Partial tears can require four to six weeks of immobilization in a cast. Interestingly, skier's thumb was—and still could be, for all we know—a chronic ailment among Scottish gamekeepers, who thrashed their digits by repeatedly wrenching the necks of hares. Later, the ski boom served up many more such cases—hence, "skier's thumb. But Flake hopes the medical establishment will rethink the injury's nomenclature and offically name it, "Scots-who-twist-the-heads-off-too-many-rabbits' thumb.

Since the popular thread from 2011 has gone to hell with outdated images, false page redirections and 4 blank pages of deleted posts, I think it's time to start anew for the 2012 community.I'll start out by posting some strange (but real) sodas I found on Google. You can be the ones to determine whether or not you'd ever try any of them.The label on the last one is real, but the flavor is fake. You'll have to learn the Jones way of doing things.Chips are another favorite when it comes to bizarre flavors.^ Those BLT chips are actually not too bad.And, of course, the Canadian classic...If you know of any strange flavors or you just happen to find some online, post them here. Pictures are always appreciated.

Well all of the sodas look pretty nasty to me, but I think I would try almost all of the chips. They must have some sort of good taste to them due to the amount of fat that is probably in them =) Mmmm for some reason those Ketchup chips look REALLY yummy.Randomly searched on google and these of some I found:I think I have actually seen green Ketchup before, though I don't remember when.

Vanilla Coke exists, so diet vanilla Pepsi isn't too much of a stretch.Especially not for Pepsi.And of course, the all-time favorite among the 2011 crowd:And you may ask yourself, "would I reject the opportunity to try any one of these?" And no matter what flavor it is, the answer will always be no.

Supply chain management company, CEVA Logistics, said Tuesday it will expand its presence in the San Diego market with a new freight management and logistics facility totaling 125,000 square feet and 23 dock doors.
The new facility will be the of its kind serving the San Diego market, according to the company, and represents the largest new warehouse agreement completed in central San Diego in the past five years.
It will combine two current CEVA operations; a customer-dedicated facility presently based in Poway, California, and the company's current freight management operation, which is located in the same office park as the new facility; near the San Diego International Airport and all major road arteries in the area.
This follows CEVA's recent expansion of its Los Angeles management operation, which it said is one of the largest in its network, now comprising three facilities totaling more than one million square feet and 170 dock doors.
"Our goal for our San Diego operations is to bring innovation and unparalleled knowledge of our customers' business needs to bear on their total supply chain requirements, including transborder solutions such as customs brokerage and cross-docking on both sides of the border," said Rick Goldenstein, district manager for CEVA in San Diego.
Goldenstein added that CEVA had outgrown its Poway contract logistics location, as business there had more than doubled in the past several years, while demand for CEVA's freight management home delivery services in the San Diego market has grown substantially as well, exceeding 100,000 deliveries per year.
CEVA's home delivery network provides a dedicated end-to-end network solution incorporating line haul and final mile services with delivery options for heavy, bulky items for consumers.

The West Virginia Air National Guard (WV ANG) is the air force militia of the State of West Virginia, United States of America. It is, along with the West Virginia Army National Guard, an element of the West Virginia National Guard.
As state militia units, the units in the West Virginia Air National Guard are not in the normal United States Air Force chain of command. They are under the jurisdiction of the Governor of West Virginia though the office of the West Virginia Adjutant General unless they are federalized by order of the President of the United States. The West Virginia Air National Guard is headquartered Charleston, and its commander is Major General Hoyer.
Under the "Total Force" concept, West Virginia Air National Guard units are considered to be Air Reserve Components (ARC) of the United States Air Force (USAF). West Virginia ANG units are trained and equipped by the Air Force and are operationally gained by a Major Command of the USAF if federalized. In addition, the West Virginia Air National Guard forces are assigned to Air Expeditionary Forces and are subject to deployment tasking orders along with their active duty and Air Force Reserve counterparts in their assigned cycle deployment window.
Along with their federal reserve obligations, as state militia units the elements of the West Virginia ANG are subject to being activated by order of the Governor to provide protection of life and property, and preserve peace, order and public safety. State missions include disaster relief in times of earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and forest fires, search and rescue, protection of vital public services, and support to civil defense.
The West Virginia Air National Guard consists of the following major unit:
- Established 1 October 1955; operates: C-130E Hercules
- Stationed at: Charleston Air National Guard Base, Charleston
- Gained by: Air Mobility Command
- The 130th Airlift Wing provides tactical airlift in support of the United States Air Force and the State of West Virginia.[1]
- Established 7 March 1947 (as: 167th Fighter Squadron); operates: C-5 Galaxy
- Stationed at: Shepherd Field Air National Guard Base, Martinsburg
- Gained by: Air Mobility Command
- The 167th Airlift Wing flies the C-5 Galaxy with its tremendous payload capability, provides the Air Mobility Command airlift in support of United States national defense.[2]
On 24 May 1946, the United States Army Air Forces, in response to dramatic postwar military budget cuts imposed by President Harry S. Truman, allocated inactive unit designations to the National Guard Bureau for the formation of an Air Force National Guard. These unit designations were allotted and transferred to various State National Guard bureaus to provide them unit designations to re-establish them as Air National Guard units.[3]
The West Virginia Air National Guard origins date to 7 March 1947 with the establishment of the 167th Fighter Squadron and is oldest unit of the West Virginia Air National Guard. It was federally recognized and activated at Kanawha Airport, Charleston, and was equipped with F-51D Mustangs. Its mission was the air defense of the state. 18 September 1947, however, is considered the West Virginia Air National Guard's official birth concurrent with the establishment of the United States Air Force as a separate branch of the United States military under the National Security Act.[3]
On 10 October 1950, the unit and all personnel were sworn in for 21 months of active duty during the Korean War. Most personnel and all aircraft became part of the 123d Fighter-Bomber Wing, located at Godman AFB, Kentucky. Some members transferred to RAF Manston near London, England, flying F-84 Thunderjet aircraft. Other seasoned (experienced) pilots transferred to Far East Air Force for combat dury in the Korean War. Released from active duty on 9 July 1952, the 167th Fighter Interceptor Squadron returned to Charleston, West Virginia and the F-51 Mustang aircraft.
Because of limitations at Kanawha Airport at that time, that could not accommodate jet aircraft, a search for a new home in West Virginia began. Shepherd Field at Martinsburg received approval as the new site on 21 September 1955. The official move came on 3 December 1955, when the 167th left Charleston and for Martinsburg.
The West Virginia Air National Guard was authorized to expand to two squadrons in 1955 by the National Guard Bureau. On 1 October, the 130th Troop Carrier Squadron had been organized at Kanawha Airport, Charleston and was extended federal recognition. The squadron was assigned to Tactical Air Command, which placed it under its Eighteenth Air Force. It was equipped with Grumman HU-16 Albatross amphibians and C-46 Commando troop transports. The mission of the 130th TCS was primarily Air Commando special operations missions.
Today, the 130th Airlift Wing (130 AW) provides tactical airlift support to Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps and allied nation aircraft. The 167th Airlift Wing (167 AW) provides global airlift to Air Mobiity Command, with its C-5 Galaxy transports operating globally in support of the active-duty missions of the Air Force. .
After the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, elements of every Air National Guard unit in West Virginia has been activated in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Flight crews, aircraft maintenance personnel, communications technicians, air controllers and air security personnel were engaged in Operation Noble Eagle air defense overflights of major United States cities. Also, West Virginia ANG units have been deployed overseas as part of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq as well as other locations as directed.
On 13 May 2005, the Department of Defense released its Base Realignment and Closure, 2005 (BRAC) report, and the 130th Airlift Wing was one of the units slated to be eventually decommissioned. Its complement of eight C-130H aircraft would be realigned to Pope Air Force Base, and its complement of expeditionary combat support (ECS) personnel to the 167th Airlift Wing.
Upon learning of this, several former commanders of the 130th Airlift Wing along with members of the local Kanawha County Commission and the Yeager Airport Board of Directors formed the Keep 'Em Flying grassroots organization to try to prevent the unit from being decommissioned. Following an outpouring of community support, money was raised for newspaper ads and radio ads, and to hire analysts familiar with BRAC, all in an attempt to save the unit. On June 13, 2005, members of the BRAC commission came to Charleston to evaluate the base and talk to General Tackett, Governor Joe Manchin, Senator Robert Byrd, Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito and Col. Bill Peters, Jr., former commander of the 130th and chair for Keep 'Em Flying.
Following this visit, and taking in all the information that was presented to them during that time, the BRAC commission voted unanimously, 9–0, to keep the unit intact.

"Do you have a moment to help save the children?"
"Sorry, not today." Ouch.
The scenario has been a common one around St. Louis since the fall of 2003, when Save the Children, a 73-year-old, Connecticut-based charity that raises a quarter of a billion dollars annually, shifted its fundraising focus from Africa to Appalachia and from actress-pitchwoman Sally "All in the Family" Struthers' televised pleas to an army of fresh-faced, left-leaning sidewalk solicitors. Answer the ingeniously off-putting come-on in the affirmative and you'll be subjected to a "rap" about why you must help save poor, hungry Appalachian children right now, without giving it another moment's thought. Respond with a "no" and you are, ipso facto, a heartless bastard.
Susan Wyman wasn't looking to save the children when she showed up at the Fund for Public Interest Research's Euclid Avenue offices early last month. A recent Webster University grad and seasoned activist who doorbelled for the liberal voter-registration outfit America Coming Together during the 2004 presidential campaign, the 53-year-old Wyman thought she'd be hitting the streets on behalf of the Campaign to Save the Environment. That was the organization mentioned in the ad she answered on Webster's employment Web site, which made no mention of Save the Children (though it did tout the Sierra Club and MoPIRG, a sister organization of FFPIR that serves as its public-advocacy and research arm).
Wyman and her half-dozen counterparts were told that they were being considered for positions as fundraising canvassers for Save the Children, commission-based jobs with the potential to pay from $350 to $500 per week. Though she was surprised by the nature of the work, Wyman was encouraged by an internal document that equated the fund's work with women's suffrage, civil rights and "No Nukes!" activism, and she agreed to come back two days later and hit the streets.
When the appointed day arrived, Wyman didn't get off on the right foot with her on-the-job trainer, Mark Kustelski, outside the downtown Famous-Barr. For starters, she says, Kustelski had her observe him as he engaged a passer-by.
The pedestrian said he was already a Save the Children sponsor and had been for years, whereupon, Wyman says, she uttered a spontaneous "Wow!"
Judging from Kustelski's reaction, she might as well have accused the donor of fornicating with defenseless farm animals. "Mark said, 'I told you not to say anything; I don't want to have to be competing for people's attention,'" Wyman recalls.
He later reprimanded her for displaying her Save the Children binder improperly and for facing north instead of west, as he'd instructed. And then there was the way Wyman flagged down pedestrians. "At some point he came over to me and said, 'The next time you wave like that, I'm going to fire you on the spot,'" she recounts.
After about five hours of pitching, the pair had recruited precisely zero new sponsors for Save the Children, an outcome Wyman chalks up to weather and location as much as bum luck and ineptitude.
"It was an idiotic plan, because people don't want to stop on their lunch hour, and it was excruciatingly cold," she says. "There are much better places to canvass."
Wyman quit at shift's end. She says she has yet to receive her check for $35 (the minimum daily wage for canvassers who fail to sign up any sponsors).
Kustelski was on an out-of-town recruiting trip and wasn't available to comment for this story. His supervisor, James Manuel, pins the blame squarely on Wyman.
"She didn't come in with the right attitude and left with an even worse attitude," says Manuel, who runs FFPIR's St. Louis office. "Folks who are just looking for a paycheck aren't going to succeed."
Founded in 1982 in Boston, the Fund for Public Interest Research and its field offices can best be described as grassroots operations-for-hire that farm themselves out to like-minded charitable behemoths with the means to outsource street-level duties. The fund's clients include the Sierra Club, Greenpeace and the Human Rights Campaign. Most canvassers are either in college or have recently graduated.
"The heart of my job is to raise money from citizen outreach," says James Manuel. "But an even greater part of it is developing activists."
George Washington University law student John Castiglione doesn't buy that rap. A former canvassing director, Castiglione left the organization's D.C. office after six months with such a bitter taste in his mouth that he has devoted a Web site to what he perceives are the fund's deficiencies (www.angelfire.com/indie/fundislying/FundIsLying.html).
"You could be canvassing for two or three different organizations in the space of a week," Castiglione complains. "The canvassers are never trained as to what the organizations are about. It's not unusual for a canvasser to memorize the rap and then have no idea what these organizations do, which is not fair to the organizations."

A: Game Front file downloads are not supported in the following territories. If you're not in one of the below territories and are still having issues with our servce, please submit a ticket and we'll look into it. Argentina @kilertrtr you should be able to download in Lithuania, it's not on the list. Maybe it's blocked by Gamefront too? |

Maybe you could use a proxy to pass by country filtering or simply find mirrors elsewhere. To see all mirrors of ModDB downloads you simply need to add /all to the link of the download displayed after you hover your mouse over DOWNLOAD NOW! button. So for example KotOR - Ultimate download button link: |

@feillyne Unfortunately my country is on the list you provided so I'm unable to download some stalker mods which are only available on Gamefront. Just wanted to ask if you have any info about will they "fix" that issue eventually or is there some certain policy towards listed countries concerning downloading and other stuff? |

There's a policy it seems but I don't know exactly. There may be no "fix" for this anytime soon... |

note that gamefront filtering may not be perfect. so even if you are not on this country list - if gamefront thinks you are you will be blocked. we don't have any control over this -- Scott Reismanis |

Thanks for the replies. Given that my knowledge concerning this area is not so wide, I doubt that I can find a way to circumvent this issue but no big deal, I'll just download something else. |

I'm having the exact same issue, and my country's not on the list either. It has to be recent, I only started having those problems around one or two months ago. Before that, I had been using GameFront without any problem for years. They'd better fix it soon. |

you should contact gamefront to discuss. -- Scott Reismanis |

We are doing alot of behind the scenes work to get more ModDB mirrors active - but its unfortunatelly very time consuming process. We hope to have this work completed by April. Its a long way off yes, but the end result should mean more mirrors that have higher capacity and more download slots available for registered members. By default now, guest cannot use our mirrors - so if you have a modDB/Desura account you get access to our 10 private file mirrors in Europe and the US. We are also working hard to get an AU mirror back online. -- Greg |
