There's a youthful energy running through Una Noche that threatens to overwhelm, from it's sun-kissed first image to its final moments on the sands of the beach.
Despite the bleak-ness of the situation, the film vibrates with color, noise, music, ferocious arguments (both serious and teasing), and eye-catching snapshots of everyday life in Havana.
The energy, thrum and heartache of modern Havana keep this teen drama afloat when it just as easily could have drifted into cliché waters.
For all its flaws, the movie, filmed with nonprofessional actors, is steadily gripping.
Moving performances from Una Noche's charismatic non-pro cast, Mulloy's keen eye for visual detail and stunning cinematography by Trevor Forrest and Shlomo Godder of Cuba's turquoise water exploding against the sea wall offer a compelling portrait.
Una Noche tugged at my heartstrings, but the film's almost phantasmagoric fixation on sex can feel crass and dehumanizing.
Documentarian Anailín Lucy Mulloy's eye for the decaying textures of modern Cuba on the ground is sharp, and there are passages—as the dull characters mope and kill time and work up snits—in which you wish the movie were simply nonfiction. As it is, everything feels fake except the Centro Habana barrios themselves.

("Look at theI admired the atmospherics in this film, a contrast to the Cuban government-sponsored journalistic forays I've read about. ("Look at the architecture and old cars! Sip the rum! Smoke the cigars!") This gives you a more gritty look at the Cuba that a lot of people still want to escape. But the acting is heavy on sincerity, lighter on skill. You will NOT be surprised to read that the director employed nonprofessionals. Also, the rather histrionic sexual subplots felt layered on for effect. It's nicely filmed, though, and engaging.… Expand

The Transformation of Global Health Governance
Colin McInnes, Kelley Lee, Adam Kamradt-Scott, Kelley Lee, Anne Roemer-Mahler, Simon Rushton, Owain David Williams
|Publication Date
|April 2014
|Hardcover Ebook (EPUB) Ebook (PDF)
|Palgrave Pivot
The authors examine how health governance is being transformed amid globalization, characterized by the emergence of new actors and institutions, and the interplay of competing ideas about global health. They explore how this has affected the governance of specific health issues, such as HIV/AIDS, pandemic influenza, tobacco control and access to medicines, and how it relates to global governance more broadly. Adopting a multi-layer perspective on global health governance, the authors suggest how global health governance might move forward more effectively.

Cowboys: Contributions, contracts and the cap - running backs
Murray is a "difference-maker'' but not a star, and in a salary-cap league, there is a vast difference. And at the position of running back, where "good-enough'' players can produce great things, overpaying is not en vogue.
IRVING, Texas -- The numbers stack up in favor of DeMarco Murray.
He is coming off his finest season, having finished 10th in the NFL in rushing with 1,124 yards, having lead the league in yards-per-carry (among full-time backs) at 5.2 per, and having himself invited to the Pro Bowl (as an alternate) who made an impact in Hawaii.
All the numbers stack up except one: How to pay him in the future.
Murray is a "difference-maker'' but not a star, and in a salary-cap league, there is a vast difference. And at the position of running back, where "good-enough'' players can produce great things, overpaying is not en vogue.
The Murray difference: In his first three seasons, when he's been unavailable due to injury, the Cowboys' record is 5-6. When he is available and they feed him the ball (20 carries or more in a game) the Cowboys are 11-0.
Now, that is a chicken-or-the-egg stat; maybe Murray gets 20 carries because the Cowboys are ahead and they are just playing ball-control. But the number is nevertheless in his favor.
And still, Murray's status as a former third-round pick proves the thesis here: As good as he is, this level of "good'' is relatively easy to find. ⦠and to find affordably.
Murray is entering the final year of a deal that pays him an average of about $750,000 annually. This season he'll make $1.55 million â still a relative bargain.
And then the Cowboys will be faced with a decision that should not be difficult.
As they approach 2015, they should not re-sign DeMarco Murray.
This is not an indictment of his skills. Nor is it a full endorsement of the talents of rookie Joseph Randle, last year's fifth-round pick. But Randle makes $495,000 this year and $585,000 in 2015.
In terms of philosophy, a team can win at running back with a player
1)Still playing on his rookie contract and therefore making $700,000 or so.
2)A "star'' who gets a new deal like, say, Matt Forte's 2012 contract with Chicago which pays him about $7 million or so.
You are trying to beat the opponent. But you are also trying to beat the cap. Can you do the former without paying DeMarco Murray $7 million? Can you do the former by relying on Randle (or somebody like him) with help from Lance Dunbar (being paid $570,000 with some scatback skills that could allow new playcaller Scott Linehan to employ him as Linehan did Detroit's Reggie Bush)?
Dallas has one more philosophical issue in the backfield, but this isn't about beating the coming camp of $127.6 million. Late in the year, the Cowboys â who'd previously pledged to be a tight-end-heavy offense using a single back â signed street free-agent Tyler Clutts, an old-school fullback. It appears they signed him to a two-year deal so he's under contract in Dallas in 2014 at $645,000.
The Cowboys have some 2014 work to do on offensive philosophy in regard to how they employ their running backs. And then in 2015, they have some work to do on who they employ at running back.

Wii will be region-restricted after all
updated 02:05 pm EDT, Fri September 15, 2006
Wii will be region-locked
Nintendo of America's marketing VP, Perrin Kaplan, has supposedly erred in saying that the Wii will be region-free by default. A Nintendo UK spokesperson tells GamesIndustry that the Wii will in fact be "region-locked," meaning that games released in Japan (for instance) will probably not be playable on Wiis bought in Europe or the Americas. Conversely, it seems likely that PS3 games from the East will have no obstacles in North America.

See how they grow on the Puppy Page
We've been owned by Whippets since 1989 and by Cresteds since 2000. The two breeds, despite their differences in appearance, are similar in temperament and get along very well together.
While being proud of the accomplishments of our dogs, we are most proud of being volunteers for WRAP. We've rescued and rehomed many Whippets both through WRAP and independently along with rescuing and re-homing other breeds! If you look closely, you will see the "S" permanently tattooed on our foreheads. Several of our most beloved dogs have been rescues that came and just never left. Among our most beloved was Skinny Marie We lost this sweet lady along with Bridget who was her companion in January of 2008. You are still in our hearts Skinny!
We very rarely breed dogs, but that hasn't kept us out of the show ring! Having great friends and breeders who share our belief that good temperament is as important as good conformation, we have been graced by the ownership of three lovely Ableaim dogs. Ch Ableaim's Kallikrates(Tigger) was the first. Tigger finished his championship and is living the life of the retiree here at Kemar. Ch Ableaim Nikki's Not Naughty (MUCH) finished her AKC Championship title in July of 2011 and is now living with Raven in North Carolina. Ch Ableaim's Route Sixty-Four who just completed his AKC GRAND Championship in August 2013 is now retired from the show ring and living the life of a king with his new owner David Schwartz in North Carolina.
HOT NEWS!! 5/3/2015 -- Kemar's Pawsitive Experience, SC is now Kemar's Pawsitive Experience RN!! She earned her third and final leg for this title 5/3/2015 at the grand age of 12!! She became the first whippet to earn the WCRL Rally Veterans title in March of this year and she also garnered an Award of Excellence and two first places! We are so proud of Rosie-Bear and her lovely, talented and dedicated human, Erin!
In August of 2013, we were fortunate to be at the shows in Salem, Va where Cal Perry and Yvonne Sovereign shared our set up. Yvonne had a then 4 month old red and white female puppy returned to her by an owner who found she just was not able to juggle a puppy, a job and caring for her parents. That combination of events resulted in us getting Lola -- Sowagla Appraxin Island in the Sun who, the day before she turned 6 months old was awarded Best Puppy in Show at the Augusta Kennel Club show. Lola was Reserve Winners Bitch the next day and has done very well since then. She earned a 4 point major in Concord, NC in March of 2014, several singles on the January 2014 Florida Circuit and was just awarded her second major (3 pts) at the Greenville Kennel Club show July 25th (also "dad's" birthday -- what a birthday present!!). She continues to WOW us with her beauty and personality. We are so excited to have Lola and so grateful to Yvonne Sovereign and Cal Perry for allowing her to come and live with us. She completed her AKC championship a year (almost to the day!) later at those very same Salem, VA shows by going Best of Breed over specials for a 5 point major! Cal would be so proud!
Dogs from our breeding are still gracing the show, obedience, and rally rings along with lure and race fields! Butterfly's siblings, children and grandchildren are doing us proud! Brother Jovi earned his CGC (Canine Good Citizen) then followed up with his BN (Beginner Novice) as well as earning his SC (Senior Courser) titles from AKC for owner Charlotte Sokol. Brother Ash has earned his THD (Therapy Dog) title, RN (Rally Novice) followed by his RA (Rally Advanced) and is working on his BN with the guidance of his owner, Kaye Martell. Not to be outdone, sister Tara has an amazing array of titles to her credit all thanks to the dedication of her owner, Janet Andrews. Tara has her TT (Temperament Test), THD, SC, RN, RA, OTR (Oval Track Racer) and CR (Companion Racer). Although we recently lost her to kidney failure, Sister Scarlett was not to be left out!! Scarlett completed her ASFA Fch (Field Champion), MC, RN, TRP and CGC titles before going to the bridge in May of 2013.
Butterfly's son, Fritz earned first his AKC Championship then Grand Championship before he turned 3 years old. Fritz has begun a career as a race dog! He's not the fastest dog out there -- he wins the turtle award pretty frequesntly, but he sure is having fun chasing the bunny! And it's lots of fun watching him!
There is a lot more planned for the dogs of Kemar in the coming year, so check back often! If you are interested in a Whippet or a Crested, please contact us.
We have a "hairy hairless" male Crested available. Radd is a year old and uses a litter box. He is available as a pet to an approved home.
If you are interested in Radd or one of the puppies, please complete this Application. When you click the submit button at the bottom of the form, it will notify me of your interest. Thank you!

2016 Mitsubishi Cars
Mitsubishi Motors is part of a Japanese conglomerate, but the brand is best known for its lineup of cars like the Lancer compact sedan, Galant mid-size sedan, Outlander Sport and Endeavor crossovers. Enthusiasts love the brand for the rally-ready Lancer Evolution while those concerned about the environment should check out the funky i-MiEV. This year an all-new Outlander was released.
Mitsubishi got its start in North America by selling vehicles co-engineered with Chrysler, including the highly successful Galant sedan and Eclipse sports coupe, which were built in the United States. Management problems in Japan, a failed financing scheme in America and a lack of relevant product hampered the brand over the last decade, but vehicles like the Lancer Ralliart and Lancer Evolution have helped Mitsubishi keep a high profile in the public's eye.

EDIT: UPDATE on page 23.
Awww. How cute... A popularity contest! Guess we're back in middle school!
I would need to know where this ad would be found. In general, I see nothing wrong with some level of well, good taste or discretion and this has neither. I have to admit though that there were some "gummi" ads in Germany that were creative and a little less in-your-face than this one.
BF, CD, NFP, Non Circ-ing, BLW, mom to 3 crazy boys! Luke 6-17-08, Landon 10-9-09
and Joshua 4-17-12
honestly, I think its funny. And even if it were real, someone in the national spotlight would bitch enough to get it taken out of print.
Also, I think its rather funny that any man would think they actually NEED condoms that big, Bahahahahahaha!
Stacy, wife to Shane
Stepmom to Brittany Jene 3/98
Mommy to Garryt Mack 11/06, Mavryk Levi 8/08 and our little princess Mayzie Sue 4/1/11
Where the ad would be located is irrelevant.
^^^I disagree. I could see this ad in an adult magazine - Cosmo and the like. I think it would be inappropriately placed if in others (thinking LHJ). I also would not necessarily support a billboard of it - it is interesting, but they have to remember to market it to the target audiences.
I think it is amusing. The only people that I personally know that would be upset about this are people who lean more towards being a prude. I find the KY commercials more "upsetting" than this. There are a ton of other condom commercials that are more "upsetting" than this. I don't get upset about them because there are more important things to be upset about.
Ashley 05/20/98; Adriel 03/20/04; Maaliyah 03/24/06
And forgot to say, the location of the ad would make a world of difference to me and might change my answer. I could see this ad in like Maxim, Playboy, etc, but maybe not People, Time, etc.
Ashley 05/20/98; Adriel 03/20/04; Maaliyah 03/24/06
I thought at first it was "wear a condom if you're having oral sex with someone wearing bandaids to cover their cold sores!". That was my first thought, but I did just wake up...
1st DD July 29, 2010, 2nd DD February 26, 2012
"Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence."
The only people that I personally know that would be upset about this are people who lean more towards being a prude.
^^^Why is being a prude automatically associated with anyone who may appreciate a bit more discretion? I see the word thrown around a lot by people who are extremely liberal, and therefore, anyone is a prude who may take any offense to mildly inappropriate pictures/ads/shows. I prefer a certain taste level myself, and would not consider myself a prude. I also prefer correct placement of ads like this.
I've never seen a condom ad in LHJ, Clean Eating or Weight Watchers.
Why would this be an exception?
^^^Hey, ya never know! I mean, 30 yrs ago seeing an ad like this ANYWHERE would have made me gasp, and now we are immune to so much and are much more welcoming of more outrageous material. Look at tv - I bet 30 yrs ago the idea of the KY commercials would have been alien, yet today it is commonplace.

Order and Change in a Warless World
T O IMAGINE a warless world is to imagine a special kind of world order--a system of "law and order" which must nevertheless allow for the disorder, conflict, and change essential to the development of human institutions. An idea must be formed of how such change, which throughout history has been so often and so deeply associated with war, can come about with a minimum of physical violence.
That change through conflict will continue to come about, regardless, is scarcely arguable. The complicated struggles among individuals, groups, classes, communities, or nations for wealth, position, and power is inherent in human nature. No system of world law and order can eliminate these power struggles; it would be primarily a means of regulating or structuring them.
The relative "justice" of such regulation is highly important from the standpoint of support for the system, but it seems essentially secondary--a by-product, as it were--to the "order" which the system would impose. There have, of course, been highly unjust orders which have survived over long periods and others comparatively just which have suffered early collapse. The essential of any order, just or unjust, is that it force the competitive struggles among those subject to it into other than lethal or violent channels.
In any system of law and order one finds three elements, which are the mechanisms through which it achieves its purpose: (1) a sovereign "monopoly" of legal force to forbid resort to violence; (2) a system of general rules (law) defining in generalized terms the rights, duties, and, therefore, the power positions of all involved; (3) a judicial system to apply the general rules in specific conflicts and to provide in its decisions a generally accepted alternative to trial by combat or violence.
No system of this kind, of course, is ever perfectly successful. An irreducible minimum of violent crime, usually a certain amount of rioting and group violence, remains under the most developed systems of law and order. Nor has any such system ever completely inhibited change; even the most static and somnolent of social orders has never been "frozen" into a coma. It is true that a developed system of law and order has the effect, at any given time, of defining--crystallizing--the power relations of the individuals, groups, and classes subject to it, and that this crystallized legal structure of power may survive after the actual power relationships in the community have changed. But when the actual power structure tends to get out of line with the legal definition, it is, sooner or later, the legal definition which is altered, not the newly emerging structure of power.
W HEN the discrepancy between the fact and the form grows too great, such changes may be violent, reflected in great wars on the international stage or bloody revolutions within. But war and violent revolution are by no means the only or the necessary means of adjusting the system of law and order to changes in the underlying power structure. The modern world has recorded immense adjustments of this kind large-

Superstition and Uncertainty
Men would never be superstitious, if they could govern all their circumstances by set rules, or if they were always favoured by fortune: but being frequently driven into straits where rules are useless, and being often kept fluctuating pitiably between hope and fear by the uncertainty of fortune's greedily coveted favours, they are consequently, for the most part, very prone to credulity.
SpinozaTractatus Theologico-Politicus
These words of Spinoza anticipate in essence by some two-and a-half centuries a theory of magic propounded by the famous anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. He started from the observation that the world of primitive man may be broadly divided into two spheres. Given a certain stock of knowledge and skills, one of these can be mastered and controlled in such a way that man can satisfy his needs; outside this sphere, the competence available is insufficient by itself to ensure the attainment of man's goals, and it is here that magic holds sway. Malinowski's frequently cited example relates to the fishing practices of the inhabitants of the Tobriand Archipelago, where he undertook his major fieldwork. Those in villages on the inner lagoon, where fishing is easy and safe, do not have any magical procedures associated with it; by contrast villages on the open sea could obtain fish only in circumstances that were hazardous and highly uncertain. This illustrates Malinowski's main point that 'man resorts to magic only where chance and circumstances are not fully controlled by knowledge'.

Lightweight beautiful bag!!!!
This was my very first Soprano bag in the lavender & it is still a favorite! It's so soft & supple & extremely lightweight but high quality leather. I can't say enough about this bag. I love the leapard lining & the outside pocket is very generous as well as the inside privacy one. I own the coral as well as it was my second Soprano bag (I now own 7 as well as many wristlet & accessories!) & I'll never stop using them. U won't be dissapointed & I hope Sylvia brings this bag back again in new colors with the updated leather bind slip in pockets with matching or the pale cream lining as a showstopper! I can say 4 certain that would be a huge hit & sell out fast! Beautiful bag. Fits everything u need to carry & I get compliments a plenty! :-)

December 1, 2015
DALLAS (November 28, 2012)--A female elementary school teacher in South Texas was sentenced to 10 years in prison for having sex with a 12-year-old male student.
A judge in San Antonio sentenced Lucinda Rodriguez Caldwell, 41, as part of a plea agreement in which Caldwell pleaded no contest to felony indecency with child by exposure.
She originally was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child and could have received life in prison if convicted.
Caldwell taught fifth grade at Cable Elementary School in the Northside Independent School District in San Antonio when she was arrested in July 2010.
She resigned after she was accused of having several sexual encounters with the boy.
Caldwell, who had asked the judge for probation, must give up her teaching license as part of the plea deal.

Also in Time's Arrow they could tell it wasn't Lore because Data had an 'L type brain'.
I think the problem with Lore is that Soong tried to program more realistic emotional behavior.
Given we've seen how holograms can be created with perfect human emotions and ambitions (moriarty), it strikes me that its probably not difficult to "scan a human brain and make a duplicate of emotions." It's just that Soong's positronic brain/android body makes a figure more inclined to be like Khan or the Augments.
Supermans rarely have humility or compassion. Data without emotions gave him time to adjust to ethics.

Tax increases will hurt everybody
Published: Saturday, August 11, 2007 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 11, 2007 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: The Bush tax cuts have been in effect for six years now and some folks are still complaining.
"Tax cuts for the rich," they call it, but those cuts were scaled inversely to income, with the lower income people getting the larger cuts, 100 percent in some cases.
Democratic politicians like to say that Bob Bigshot got a million dollar tax cut, but they won't tell you that Bob still pays $49 million. Kennedy, Reagan, and now Bush have reduced taxes, all with the same results: Federal revenue went up, not down. (Democrats won't tell you that either.)
The economy went up, too. The only thing that went down was unemployment. That's trickle-down economics in a nutshell. A rising tide lifts all boats.
Democrats know that but they're still trying to sell us tax increases. "It'll only be higher for the rich," they say. Don't you believe it. For example, let's say they increase the taxes on General Motors by $100 per car. GM wouldn't actually pay that $100; GM would collect it -- from Joe Sixpack when he buys a Chevy.
So why is anyone talking about raising taxes? Doesn't make sense, does it?

On the surface, Joe Nieuwendyk's job is pretty simple — make the Stars a winner.
Behind the scenes, where there are ownership issues, budget issues and coaching issues, things get a little more complicated for the GM who is preparing to enter his third season in charge.
But Nieuwendyk has stressed that he believes in looking at his job simply, and he showed that Friday on the first day of NHL free agency. The Stars signed six players and stayed within their budget with an added cost of $11.25 million. They kept the contract terms short and their options open long-term.
And that's pretty huge.
But not near as huge as the fact that Nieuwendyk believes the team will be better next season.
"I realize that taking Brad Richards out of your lineup, you are losing a lot," Nieuwendyk said of the loss of his leading scorer to free agency. "But I think we have added to the culture of our locker room, and I feel we will be a more well-rounded team."
And if you break things down, you have to believe he's right. In adding Sheldon Souray and Adam Pardy on defense, the Stars have upgraded the top end of the blueline, as well as the bottom end.
Are those two better than Karlis Skrastins and Jeff Woywitka? Definitely. And if you realize that Pardy, 27, will probably get more of a chance than he had in Calgary, and Souray, 34, will have to take fewer minutes than he was given in Edmonton or Montreal, then the additions make even more sense.
Add to the fact Nieuwendyk acquired Alex Goligoski last season, and you now have a defense that includes five players (Goligoski, Souray, Stephane Robidas, Trevor Daley and Nicklas Grossman) who should be able to log 20 minutes a game with no problem.
That's real depth, and Souray also helps boost the power play with a slap shot that has been clocked at 106 mph.
Now, are both players risky? Sure. Souray has had injury problems and was removed from the Edmonton Oilers last season when he and the Oilers couldn't see eye-to-eye. Pardy also has had injury problems and must step up his game. But the upside is there with both.
Up front, Nieuwendyk added scoring in Michael Ryder, as well as defensive presence in Vernon Fiddler, Radek Dvorak and Jake Dowell. If you simply look at the fact the newcomers will try to replace depth forwards Jamie Langenbrunner, Brandon Segal, Brian Sutherby and Jason Williams, you have to feel this is an upgrade.
Fiddler is a fantastic faceoff man and character checker, while Dvorak and Dowell are solid penalty-killers.
The only real concern is the fact that Ryder is a bit of a streaky goal-scorer, and the Stars still need to replace Richards and James Neal (who was moved in the Goligoski trade). Steve Ott will probably move into the top six forwards next season, but losing Neal and Richards is a tough blow.
Still, Nieuwendyk took the cards he was dealt and made a pretty good hand. Yes, there are still big questions about new coach Glen Gulutzan. Yes, there are going to be growing pains. But if you look at the moves that have been made, it's very easy to think the Stars have improved.
"We had our list, and it worked out well that we targeted these players and we got them," Nieuwendyk said. "We filled in the gaps with players we like, and we're very happy about that."
A possible lineup
Here's Mike Heika's projection on how the lines and defense pairings might look for the 2011-12 Stars:
B. Morrow
M. Ribeiro
M. Ryder
S. Ott
J. Benn
L. Eriksson
J. Dowell
V. Fiddler
A. Burish
T. Peterson

R. Dvorak

First, there was an oral commitment to UCLA.
When running back Marlon Mack changed his mind about playing college football on the other side of the country, he made a pledge to attend Louisville. But Mack, then a senior at Booker High in Sarasota, Fla., had another change of heart in January 2014.
Finally, Mack made the decision to relocate 60 miles north to the University of South Florida in Tampa. The USF football staff was trying to make a recruiting impact in talent-rich Florida and Mack was the type of player the program craved.

Redmond takes down the ZeroAccess botnet, if only temporarily.
The vigilant white-hats at Microsoft's Digital Crimes team has just rolled over and stuck a fork into the ZeroAccess botnet, reports Ars Technica. The botnet, AKA ZAccess or Siref, has been active for about four years and has been up to such malevolence as spreading malware and intercepting and changing advertising hyperlinks for ones the botnet's masters can profit from.
While your stereotypical computer experts tracked down the IP addresses of all of the eighteen command-and-control servers, the deathblow to ZeroAccess was delivered not by hackers but barristers. Microsoft's legal team secured permission to block traffic from these servers.
While ZeroAccess's shadowy owners could set up these servers at different IPs and begin business anew, this disruption gives the legal side of the internet an opportunity to identify who was earning the $2.7 million the botnet was estimated to have earned in ill-gotten gains.

Aquamarine Power
Established in 2005, Edinburgh-based Aquamarine Power is developing Oyster wave power technology to capture energy found in nearshore waves and convert it into clean sustainable electricity.
The Oyster concept is an oscillating wave surge converter: a buoyant, hinged flap which is attached to the seabed at around ten metres depth, around half a kilometre from shore. This flap, which is almost entirely underwater, moves backwards and forwards in the nearshore waves. The movement of the flap drives two hydraulic pistons which push high pressure water onshore to drive a conventional hydroelectric turbine.
Oyster has been designed to be deployed in wave farms consisting of multiple machines connected to one onshore hydroelectric power station. As the technology progresses, future Oysters may incorporate offshore generation via a sealed power generation unit.
To date, Aquamarine Power has deployed and tested two full-scale Oyster devices at EMEC: the 315kW Oyster 1 and the second-generation 800kW Oyster 800, spending in excess of £3m in Orkney and working with over 40 local businesses.
Oyster 800 was grid-connected in June 2012 and is currently undergoing operational testing at EMEC's Billia Croo test site.
The Oyster 800 test programme will come to an end in 2015. Aquamarine Power is now focussed on the development of the next-generation Oyster in parallel with critical sub-systems such as WavePOD, a pan-industry power take off system which is being developed in partnership with Bosch Rexroth and Carnegie Wave Energy.
Aquamarine Power has also secured all consents required for their first commercial 40MW Oyster wave farm off the north-west coast of Lewis in Scotland. They are also developing a proposed 200MW Oyster wave farm off the coast of Orkney as a joint venture partnership with SSE Renewables.

Harry Harrison has been publishing science fiction for half a century; this novel appears in 2000, the year of his 75th birthday. His 1998 Stars and Stripes Forever was a foray into alternative history at the time of the U.S. Civil War. An opportunistic British invasion is so badly bungled that it unites warring Union and Confederate forces against the common enemy, and the course of events is rousingly changed.
Now it's 1863 and perfidious Albion is making a comeback via the Pacific, establishing a Mexican beachhead and planning attacks on united America's "soft underbelly" in the Gulf of Mexico. Gurkha and Sepoy troops build roads while sweaty white officers express nostalgia for England: "I despair of ever seeing her blissfully cold and fog-shrouded shores again."
An early coup of misdirection makes the British advance seem unstoppable--but America forges ahead with new guns and naval armor, and General Robert E. Lee devises an audacious counterblow. What better way to disrupt Britain's wicked schemes than to strike at her own rebellious province of Ireland?
Harrison, an American, perhaps overdoes the lofty dignity of figures like Abraham Lincoln, while showing British politicians with their full complement of warts. But the breathless, headlong action sweeps you away as the battle is planned and at last joined. Even hardened English patriots will feel a sense of wish-fulfillment at the possibility that America may solve the "Irish Question" for them. This is a rapid-paced, slightly slapdash, and unfailingly energetic adventure in alternate history--all great fun. --David Langford, Amazon.co.uk --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Winner of the Nebula Award, the Prix Jules Verne, and the Premio Italia, Harry Harrison is famous for many works of speculative literature, including The Stainless Steel Rat series, Make Room! Make Room! (the basis for the movie Soylent Green), and the West of Eden trilogy. Harrison is currently working on the final volume of this alternate history trilogy. He lives in Ireland.

- How many are going to Gulf Wars and would be willing to find the time to get together and at least meet in person so we have some idea who we're talking to?Runa----- Original Message -----From: okami49Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2012 4:11 PMSubject: [SCA-Archery] Re: The Fourth Peerage Apples Versus Oranges?
If it were completely up to me (and it seldom is), I would prefer a committee selected to represent the diversity of archery styles and mentalities in the SCA rather than selecting only high ranking members. Even if there is a charter for feed back and input from the overall archery community, it is ultimately up to that individual.
I would think 2 senior and 1 junior archery member from each kingdom. Also, a mix of period bow users, open bow users, crossbow users, and combat archers. Each kingdom should, on their respective forums, nominate and vote (via polling perhaps) or simply agree on and select representatives rather than have one selected for them. It might muddle things just a bit, but it would also make the community feel more involved rather than having someone just arbitrarily pick for them.

Of course this is true, but only by the very narrowest definition of democracy. Even *within* the small elected council of my small city there are committees to hash out the details of legislation. There may be some pure democracies out there, but the reason we don't know anything about them is that they are completely ineffective.

In-form Northampton triumph once again against struggling Yeovil
Lawson D'Ath and skipper Marc Richards scored either side of half-time to earn promotion-chasing Northampton a comfortable 2-0 victory over lowly Yeovil.
The visitors made things difficult for the Cobblers early on and twice went close.
Harry Cornick raced clear but goalkeeper Adam Smith quickly averted the danger, while George Thomas turned and shot wide from the edge of the box.
In between those chances, top scorer Richards planted a header straight at Yeovil keeper Chris Weale from a good position.

Talk about "Mean Girls"! While wasted on booze and drugs, Lindsay Lohan backstabbed her Hollywood competition.
"The higher Lindsay got, the more arrogant and mean she became," said a former party pal of the 21-year-old star. "She ranted and raved about her talent, claiming: 'I'm the greatest actress in the world! No one's even close to me right now!'
"And then she proceeded to viciously slam a slew of young actresses, who she considered to be her competition."
Here's what she said about her fellow actresses:
Scarlett Johansson is "ugly, fat and has no talent."
Jessica Simpson "can't sing and is dumb as (bleep)."
Sienna Miller is a "no-talent crackhead."
Keira Knightley is "a flat, shallow, cardboard cutout of an actress."
Jessica Biel is a "phony, scheming, joke of an actress."

The Intercollegiate Sailing Association's (ICSA) three national championships, Sperry Top-Sider ICSA Women's National Semi-Final and Final Championship, ICSA APS Team Race National Championship, and the ICSA Gill Dinghy National Championship commence Wednesday, May 30 with the Women's event, which will last for four days immediately followed by the Team Race Championship on June 3 and the Dinghy Championship on June 6, each lasting for three days.
ICSA fleet
All of the events will be sailed in Club Flying Juniors (CFJs). These exciting events are the highest caliber regattas in the collegiate sailing year and are the culmination of two seasons of intense competition.
The racing will take place in Austin, Texas on Lake Travis hosted by the University of Texas Sailing Team and the Austin Yacht. Lake Travis is technically a dammed river surrounded by a hilly and mountainous landscape. The two organizations hosted the National Championships last in 2005 where the competitors enjoyed shifty, but consistent wind speeds around 12-15 mph on clear water for nearly ten days straight. The conditions this year are expected to be similar; although a drought this year has dropped the water level quite a bit. Luckily the lake is deep and it will not affect the sailing.
The Women's Semi-Final Championship begins Wednesday, May 30 with an 8 a.m. report time and first race warning set for 10 a.m. The event begins with a single round robin First Round of qualifying races for the 18 women's teams who have made it to a semifinal round, but not yet made it to the final competition round. The First Round group will race until they complete at least the required number of races (16) for nine teams to join the nine previously qualified Finals teams to compete for the Gerald C. Miller Memorial Trophy. Once the 18 final teams have been determined the Finals racing will commence in a single round robin and continue until June 2.
For the nine women's teams that did not make it to the Final round a Women's Clinic will be run simultaneously for them to participate in.
The Women's Championship will culminate in an awards banquet at 6:30 p.m. on June 2 with dinner and the announcement of the winners of the event. In addition to the racing awards, the announcement of the ICSA Women's All-America Team will be made as well as the Quantum Women's Sailor of the Year.
Racing will begin on June 3 for the ICSA/APS Team Race National Championship with an 8 a.m. report time for the teams. The 14 teams have been divided into two groups of seven and each group will complete a single round robin to determine a gold fleet of the top eight teams. Once the top eight teams have been determined that gold fleet will complete a double round robin to determine the top final four teams while a single consolation round robin will be held for the six remaining teams who were not in the gold fleet.

Within 15 minutes of walking in the door I had 6 dresses, all that were in my budget and ALL of them fit, needing little or no alterations! I ended up not only getting my dress within my budget, but the undergarment and shoes as well!!
