As the country's attention is turned toward the Gulf of Mexico on the second anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon spill, it is also important to recognize that the 2010 BP spill was not the only one that happened in the past two years, even in the U.S.
States including Alaska, Utah, Michigan and Montana all saw oil spills in the past two years, along with countries like Canada, New Zealand and China. While several leaks were relatively small and pale in comparison to the Deepwater Horizon spill, they still represent what can go wrong with oil extraction and shipment.
Despite the apparent damage to the Gulf region and subsequent spills in the U.S., the government's oil spill commission set up after the 2010 Gulf spill, and disbanded a year ago, announced recently that many of its recommendations have yet to be implemented, especially by Congress.
Below, read about some of the most memorable oil spills that have occurred worldwide since the 2010 BP disaster.
In Nigeria's Akwa Ibom State, an ExxonMobil pipeline ruptured on May 1 and spilled over a million gallons of oil, reported the Guardian. The leak continued for seven days before it was stopped. HuffPost blogger Omoyele Sowore explained in July 2010 that an oil spill from ExxonMobil operations was nothing new to the country. He wrote that an "environmental catastrophe [had] been going on since December 2009." He described the toll on Nigeria: "There's oil on the surface of the ocean, wildlife coated in crude, fishermen losing their businesses."
In May 2010, several thousand barrels of oil spilled from the Trans-Alaska pipeline "during a scheduled pipeline shutdown at a pump station near Fort Greely," explained AP. No injuries were reported and officials said the spill was likely "limited to the gravel on top of the containment area's line."
In June 2010, a Chevron pipeline ruptured and spilled oil into a creek near Salt Lake City, Utah. It was first estimated that over 400 to 500 barrels spilled into the creek, which leads into the Great Salt Lake, reported AP. Around 150 birds were "identified for rehabilitation." The oil did not reach the Great Salt Lake, however. Chevron was later cited for the spill, which released an estimated 33,000 gallons in total. In March 2012, a group of 66 residents of a Salt Lake City neighborhood sued Chevron for damage caused by the Red Butte Creek spill and a smaller spill in December 2011.
In late July 2010, an Enbridge pipeline in southwestern Michigan sprung a leak and spilled over 800,000 gallons of oil into a creek which flows into the Kalamazoo River. By August, a regional EPA administrator said that significant progress had been made at the site, but "the agency cautioned that it will take months to complete the cleanup," reported AP. By the end of September, the pipeline -- which travels from Ontario to Indiana -- was back in operation. The EPA later reported that about 1.1 million gallons of oil were recovered, but pipeline operator Enbridge said that it would stick with previous estimates that only about 843,000 gallons were spilled.
In July 2010, China experienced what was reported as the "country's largest reported oil spill" after a pipeline rupture near the northeastern port city of Dailan. Several days after the spill, cleanup efforts were underway over a 165 square mile (430 square kilometer) area of the Yellow Sea. The Chinese government reported that about 1,500 tons or 461,790 gallons of oil had spilled, but experts contended that the spill could have been "dozens of times larger," reported AP.
In late April 2011, a pipeline in northwestern Alberta began leaking, and created the worst spill in the province in 36 years, reported the Calgary Herald. About 28,000 barrels of oil were reportedly spilled from the Rainbow pipeline, which is operated by Plains Midstream Canada. The Globe and Mail revealed that the pipeline operators "detected a potential problem nearly eight hours before halting the flow of crude." A nearby school in a First Nation community was closed after residents reported "nausea, burning eyes and other symptoms," and several animals were found dead. In late July, Plains Midstream requested to re-open the pipeline and begin to ship oil to Edmonton again.
In June 2011, an oil spill occurred about 25 miles off the coast of China's Shandong province in Bohai Bay. A second spill followed in July. In late August, it was reported that ConocoPhillips had discovered more oil seeps in Bohai Bay, although only "1 to 2 liters (a quarter to a half-gallon) of oil and drilling mud were being released each day." The company reported that the 2011 spills released 700 barrels of oil and 2,500 barrels of drilling mud into the bay and that most of it was recovered. In September, China's State Oceanic Administration claimed that oil was still seeping underwater. In early 2012, Texas-based ConocoPhillips reached a settlement deal with the Chinese government for $160 million.
In July 2011, a pipeline beneath Montana's Yellowstone River ruptured and sent an oil plume 25 miles downstream, reported AP. Despite reassurances from ExxonMobil that the pipeline was safe, the July spill released what was originally estimated to be 42,000 gallons of oil. With other 1,000 workers assisting the cleanup, ExxonMobil estimated that it would cost $135 million to clean the river. In January 2012, it was reported that ExxonMobil had increased its estimate of the spill size by 500 barrels. AP later reported the estimated spill size as 63,000 barrels.
In August 2011, an oil rig off the eastern coast of Scotland began leaking oil into the North Sea. Royal Dutch Shell, which operates the Gannet Alpha oil rig, initially reported that 54,600 gallons of oil were spilled. A second leak soon occurred, turning the spill into the worst in the North Sea in a decade, reported AP. Several days later, Shell announced that it had "closed a valve from which oil was spilling into the North Sea," according to AP. The spill released about 1,300 barrels of oil, which spread out over a 2.5 square mile (6.7 square kilometer) area.
In mid-November 2011, Brazilian authorities began investigating an offshore spill near Rio de Janeiro, reported AP. Chevron initially reported that between 400 and 650 barrels of oil had spilled into the Atlantic, while a nonprofit environmental group using satellite imagery estimated that the spill rate was at least 3,738 barrels per day. Chevron soon claimed full responsibility for the spill. The brazilian division's COO said, Chevron "takes full responsibility for this incident," and that "any oil on the surface of the ocean is unacceptable to Chevron," reported AP. In December, Brazilian prosecutors announced that they were seeking $10.6 billion in damages from Chevron for the spill that leaked nearly 3,000 barrels of oil. In March 2012, a Brazilian federal judge allowed prosecutors to file criminal charges against Chevron and Transocean and 17 executives from both companies were barred from leaving Brazil.
In October 2011, a Liberian-flagged cargo ship ran aground on a reef in Northern New Zealand and began leaking oil. With oil washing up on shore, a government minister deemed it the country's largest maritime environmental disaster a week later. Although over 2,000 sea birds were killed by the spill that spilled about 400 tons of fuel oil, 343 little blue penguins were rescued and cleaned of oil. [Watch video of the penguins' release into the wild here.] In January, half of the stricken Rena began sinking into the sea after breaking apart and spilling over 100 cargo containers.
The spill, which took place near the coast of Nigeria, was reported as "likely the worst to hit those waters in a decade," according to AP. After two days, the spill had affected 115 miles (185 kilometers) of Nigerian coastline. Several days after the December 20 spill, Shell reported that the leak -- which occurred about 75 miles offshore -- had been contained before it reached the Nigerian coast. The spill, which covered 350 square miles of ocean at its peak, was reported as having released less than "40,000 barrels -- or 1.68 million gallons" of oil.

Pacquiao to move up two weight classes to fight De La Hoya
Updated: August 28, 2008, 8:26 PM ETBy Dan Rafael | ESPN.com
The notion of the fight began in October 2007 merely as a fantasy in the fertile mind of HBO broadcaster Larry Merchant. On Thursday it became reality.
After weeks of on and off negotiations, Oscar De La Hoya, boxing's most bankable superstar, and Manny Pacquiao, the pound-for-pound king, jointly announced on a media teleconference that they had agreed to meet Dec. 6 in an HBO PPV fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas which undoubtedly will be the biggest fight of 2008.
It is likely ...

I installed all the necessary plugins to run WooCommerce Multilingual.
As far as I can tell until now it seems to be running well.
(Twenty Eleven standard WordPress (child) Theme)
I am using the RoyalSlider to display different slideshows in my header section. In oder to show the right slider in the right place I am using a function inside my header.php. (function: if is page X get slider Y).
NOW THE PROBLEM: WooCommerce seems to be outsetting my page IDs leading to an empty header (no slider showing!).
The problems occurs on the following "sites/pages):
- the page that is set to be the "shop base page"
- the product page (when an individual product was chosen/clicked)
When getting to the "cart" page the slider is showing perfectly!
I guess the problem does not exist when opening "true pages"....and occurs when one opens "untrue pages" like that "mixture" of a true page and the shop base page....and the product section!
Any clue as how to resolve this???

DVD review: "Meet the Fraggles"
A version of this review appears in Friday's Weekend Look section of The Oklahoman.
"Meet the Fraggles"
In many ways, "Fraggle Rock" remains the redheaded (well, sometimes yellow- or purple-haired) stepchild to "The Muppets" and "Sesame Street," ubiquitous and enduring franchises inhabited by similarly colorful critters dreamed up by puppet pioneer Jim Henson.
"Fraggle Rock" aired on HBO from 1983-87, so even among people who grew up in that era, your childhood exposure to the musical population of Henson's underground civilization largely depends on whether your family had cable at that time. My husband's family did and mine didn't, so he views the quirky Fraggles with a nostalgic fondness that I can't hope to achieve since they weren't part of my formative years.
For fervent fans of the show, a 21-DVD "Fraggle Rock: 30th Anniversary Collection" box set recently debuted on the same day as "Meet the Fraggles," a single-disc six-episode collection that makes a fine entry into the tunefully entertaining puppet series, even without the benefit of bonus materials like making-of featurettes or behind-the-scenes interviews.
"Meet the Fraggles" starts with the series' first episode, which introduces the Fraggles, a carefree Muppet-like species that lives by the credo "Dance your cares away/worries for another day," which happens to be the opening line of the show's catchy theme song. The other residents of their underground realm include the tiny industrious Doozers (an impressive puppeteering feat for that pre-CGI era), the giant bullying Gorgs and a sentient wisdom-dispensing trash heap named Marjory. (Yes, you read that correctly. It is quite a trippy experience watching a garbage oracle deliver sage advice for a Muppety critter with neon-hued hair. It was the '80s).
In the opening episode, the intrepid Traveling Matt follows a tunnel that leads into Outer Space, AKA the human world, via a hole through the basement workshop of aspiring inventor Doc (Gerard Parkes) and his expressive puppet dog Sprocket.
While Traveling Matt explores the human world, which involves close encounters with sheep, drive-in movies and ice cream cones, he shares his experiences with the other Fraggles via postcards his mild-mannered nephew Gobo picks up in Doc's shop. Gobo and his circle of friends emerge as the main characters of the series, and the other five "Meet the Fraggles" episodes each focuses on level-headed Gobo or one of his four pals: the hyperactive and bossy Red, the dreamy hippie-dippy Mokey, the helpful self-described wimp Wembley; and the deliberately dour and boring Boober.
With its kaleidoscopic characters, well-crafted rock songs and gently delivered life lessons, the Fraggles still appeal to youngsters, especially those like my 6 ½-year-old and almost 3-year-old, who already have met the Muppets.

MP3: DaVinci - "Slide Through" (Prod. By SMKA)
New Track Featured On SMKA's The 808 Experiment, Performing At Mixtape Release Party In AtlantaThe Song:It's no surprise that Fillmore District MC DaVinci was recently tapped by Atlanta-based production team SMKA to contribute a track for their latest compilation, The 808 Experiment: Vol. 3. Since the release of his debut album, The Day The Turf Stood Still, in 2010, the skilled lyricist has been in high demand and busy putting the final touches on his new EP, Feast Or Famine, and LP, The MOEna Lisa, dropping this year, not to mention appearing on a variety of collaborations, including a recent track for Southern Hospitality with G-Side MC ST 2 Lettaz.But first, DaVinci lent his efforts to SMKA's annual 808 Experiment mixtape.

"It just put me in a good mood and reminded me of my everyday grind, so that's what came through in the song." And while DaVinci isn't always heard over bass booming 808-laced production, fans can expect to hear much more in the future, and SMKA's production fit the vibe DaVinci was going for perfectly. "SMKA's beats sound like a cross between that Atlanta and Bay Area," says DaVinci. "Two completely different scenes, but there are a lot creative similarities."Fans in Atlanta will also be able to catch DaVinci and a number of the other artists features on The 808 Experiment: Vol. 3 as SMKA celebrates the release of the new project on April 30th, 2011 at The Loft in Atlanta, GA.Download DaVinci's track "Slide Through" Prod. by SMKA here: http://media.audibletreats.com/DaVinci-Slide_Through_Prod_SMKA.mp3 .

MP3: Has-Lo - "Everything Is (Oddisee Remix)"
One of the year's most artistic new projects has been the debut from Has-Lo "In Case I Don't Make It". And one of Has' biggest champions has been Diamond District producer Oddisee who described the project as "a new and dark twist on what we all know and love." Today, Oddisee & Has-Lo offer up a sparse remix of "Everything Is" that captures the tracks unflinching look at the emptiness of aging, competition, and doubt. Has-Lo's paradoxically laconic lyrics breath effortlessly through the hi-hat driven central line of the song. Meanwhile, intricately patterned drum sticks lay down the tempo, and spacey synths linger throughout the chorus. When your money ain't right it seems like everything's wrong...'cause everything is.When your love ain't life it feels like everything's gone...'cause everything is.And you search for it, and you hurt for it,And you promise each other you'll work on it,And you might have to let it go free 'cause it never was yours, But that's everything. Today, listen to the free mp3 download of the song Everything Is (Oddisee Remix) then go pick up a copy of the album "In Case I Don't Make It". Enjoy the free download: feel free to post and share.

With the price of tickets to Walt Disney World, soaring into the triple digits earlier this year, parkgoers need to be savvier than ever about where they stay. Consider hotels just outside Disney World, but not technically on the park's property.
Turns out, you don't need to be a kid to enjoy Mickey, Donald, and every other character. You just need to be a kid at heart.
The world's first Disney park and each of the four Disney World parks in Orlando will be getting at least one new project over the next few years. Here, five upcoming park debuts that we're most excited about.
While there isn't currently a specific pet package (hint, hint -- they should create one), if you call to make your reservation, hotel staff will leave a special goodie bag in your room, chock full of dog treats and toys.
Artists spend two or three days, on hands and knees, meticulously creating elaborately detailed chalk and pastel paintings on an asphalt or concrete canvas -- only to have it washed away after they're done.
The eight North American and European properties herein all have suites and extras to accommodate kids, but offer starkly different settings and experiences. Poll the clan and make your choice.
Florida is a paradise for foodies who crave locally sourced, farm-to-table and fishing-boat-to-table fare.
Read on to discover five Florida islands and the pleasures you can enjoy on them, in every corner of the Sunshine State.
Visitors to Florida are snacking their way through the state's cities, visiting off-the-beaten-track eateries and learning about regional history and culture, thanks to the growing popularity of a new type of group sight-seeing -- food tours.
When the weather outside is frightful, Northerners flock to Florida to escape the cold. But with no white Christmas to mark the holiday season, you'll have to learn to celebrate like the locals.
With sun, sand, crystal-clear waters, fish and the perfect racing clay for my bikes, I love looking for that next adventure in Florida. Tallahassee, where it all comes together beautifully, I love you!
It behooves us all to take another look at the bravery, the agony, and the hope of that very different time, and do what we can to reabsorb its lessons.
Florida still holds a few sandy secrets, including these seven under-the-radar spots we Floridians would rather keep to ourselves.

Somebody ranked Florida 16th after a loss to UCF. Same somebody didn't even rank undefeated UCF. And that voter from the Daily Progress isn't progressing well at all. That's too bad for him. But it's great for the Poll Attacks.
(Details of AP ballots courtesy of PollSpeak.com.)
Associated Press poll: Florida returned five starters from a roster that made the NCAA tournament, and the Gators added a McDonald's All-American to the bunch. So ranking them high in the preseason made some sense. I even did it myself. But now the season has started, and the Gators are 6-2. Their losses are a lopsided loss at home to Ohio State that didn't really bother me and a surprising loss on the road to UCF that bothered me quite a bit.
But you know who wasn't bothered by it?
Scott Mansch from the Great Falls Tribune in Montana.
It didn't bother him at all.
Dude had the Gators 16th last week and 16th again this week.
(Worth noting: Florida didn't make the Top 25 (and one) or actual AP poll.)
Needless to say, this was startling. So I decided to further examine Scott's AP ballots from last week and this week and compare the two. Here's what I found: He dropped Missouri five spots for losing in overtime to No. 9 Georgetown, dropped Michigan State two spots for losing by five points on the road to No. 1 Duke. (More on this below.) But Florida? Scott kept the Gators right where they were last week on his ballot after the loss at UCF. And what makes it even sillier is that Scott didn't rank undefeated UCF at all. So he apparently believes losses to teams he and everybody else has ranked are worse than losses to unranked teams. That's all I can figure.
(Moving on …)
Does anybody know Whitelaw Reid from the Daily Progress in Virginia?
We have to sit this guy down, ASAP.
I busted him up in last week's Poll Attacks, and I thought he might listen and adjust. Alas, he did not. My man still has Villanova ranked No. 8 and Tennessee unranked despite the fact that Tennessee is undefeated with a neutral court win over Villanova. He still has Connecticut behind Michigan State, Kentucky and Washington despite the fact that Connecticut is undefeated with wins over Michigan State and Kentucky, both of which beat Washington. And he still has Missouri ahead of Georgetown despite the fact that Georgetown is undefeated with a win over -- you'll never guess -- Missouri.
That last game, a thriller, happened last Tuesday.
Do you think Whitelaw heard about it?
Do you think Whitelaw even knows the season is underway?
Coaches poll: There are lots of things I hate about how people vote in polls -- that's sort of how I stumbled into doing this every Monday -- but there's nothing I hate more than when teams drop for losing competitive games to higher-ranked teams, especially on the road. By definition, a team ranked No. 1 is supposed to beat a team ranked No. 6, particularly when the game is on the top-ranked team's home court. So it should've surprised nobody when No. 1 Duke beat No. 6 Michigan State 84-79 last week at Cameron Indoor Stadium. What's surprising is that the Spartans dropped from No. 6 to No. 8 in the coaches poll because of the loss.
Seriously, why?
What did anybody see in that loss at Duke to make them think MSU wasn't worthy of its ranking?
How many teams would've or even could've won that game in that building on that night?
So stupid.
If you want to rank Michigan State eighth, that's fine. Or put the Spartans 12th. I don't care. My point is only that there isn't a single thing that happened over the past week that should've diminished anybody's opinion of Michigan State. So wherever a voter had the Spartans last week is, at worst, where that voter should've had them this week.
For instance, I had Michigan State No. 5 last week.
Same thing this week.
Because a five-point loss on the road to the No. 1 team is no reason to drop them.

Dear Richard,
I was unfortunate enough to find out what you tweeted yesterday about aborting babies with Down Syndrome, and I feel the need to tell you about an uncle of mine that I never met. My father was born in 1903 in a Mennonite farming community in Ohio. His mother had 9 children; the last, Clayton, was born with Down Syndrome. My dad didn't speak a lot about this brother, except to say that because it became impossible for the family to cope with having him at home, he was sent to live in an institution, where he later died. My grandmother got a call from the institution when this happened. She was told that he had died of pneumonia (who knows it this is true) and I always knew that this had profoundly affected my dad, who was not someone given to great displays of emotion.
After my dad died in 1996, I found, hidden inside what we called his 'taboret' – a cabinet on wheels with a glass top where he mixed paints, next to his easel – a tiny newspaper clipping that he had clearly kept for a very long time. And this is a remarkable fact, because he lived a life that took him from being a hobo riding the rails during the Great Depression, to tours as a photographer on US Navy ships, to an artist's studio in Paris, to Maine, where I grew up and where he died. He lived to be 92. So how he managed to hold onto that tiny scrap of paper all that time is a mystery to me.
The clipping was the obituary for my uncle in a local paper. And when I read it the first time, I could hardly believe what I was reading. I'd always assumed that my uncle had been a teenager when he was sent away to an institution, but this wasn't the case. He was 9 years old when he died; a boy.
So for you to speak like this, as if these lives would be better unlived, as if they are some kind of unbearable burden to society, make me angrier than I have been in a long time, and that is saying something. Can you not see that this thinking is what sets the stage for isolation and mistreatment because it dehumanises people with Down Syndrome?
I am honestly ashamed to work at an institution with which you are affiliated.
Yours sincerely,
Penelope Schenk
Edited at 11:06 21/08/2014: remembered that I found the clipping not in a box, as I initially stated, but inside my dad's taboret.

Hey all.
Today when I went to the barn my 4 1/2 yr old mare had diarrhea. It was pretty intense there for about 45 minutes.
Watery green, no smell at all.
Gut sounds ok! No temp.
I kept a good watch on her for quite sometime. Tried to give her some warmer water (it is 25-35 out w/ wet snow falling)
She just wanted to stick her nose in it and play, but wouldn't drink.
They came around and had just filled the water when I arrived so it was easy to see if she was drinking. Her gums were pink and no change upon pressing fingers to the gums.
She was fine to be eating.
The only thing that was done with her feed was approx, 4 days or so ago she was taken off the alfalfa and left with just her grass hay which is not a new load or anything.
I did try to call my vet ( since the call is free) ...I paged with no return call. I just watched and waited.
Since they also came through and cleaned her stall and added new shavings..It was easy to see if she any more episodes. I saw there was none...not even one for over an hour. I took the temp 3 times in 3 hours with the same reading each time (100.1)
Since she finally did drink some water I waited a while longer and left. The barn is aware of everything and I gave them a second vet to call if need be.
Not sure if there was really any other things to do.
She is scheduled to be hauled out on Tues for training. Hope it was nothing.
I live about 14 miles away but the hwy to the ranch can sometimes become real bad and we are expecting some heavy snow to come our way...Already snowing pretty good.
I will be up at the crack of morning and heading out if the weather will allow.
They do have people on property and also do a night check.

KSU does stuff like that for every game... (I think. They did for us a few years ago) but still... wow
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,
and may her colors ever fly!!!
In Accordance with Prophecy
K-State marketing department, best in the country.
I can understand the appeal of doing these videos for some 40 year old guy in the KSU athletic department, but if you're going to do it, do it right. Don't post an open audition flyer on the drama department bulletin board and film everything with your Flip HD. You're just embarrassing your school, the students and yourself.
Hell, I'M embarrassed for everyone involved. Well, everyone except for Willie Wildcat. That thing is beyond ridiculous.

They have a table set up for him at the Cracker Barrel for his 4 p.m. feeding.
Those videos are a couple years old. They don't really do those anymore. It's too bad, because they were delightful.
well that was interesting. The ksu guy who played the joker did a nice job
They do have a pretty good impersonation of kNU fans though. Not that this skit is isn't horrible.

Ashes Are Burning
By Renaissance
Capitol Records, 1972
Review by Carl McColman
Once upon a time (when Ronald Reagan was merely an ex-governor from California and "liberal" was not a dirty word), back before the 80s marketing gurus dreamed up the term "classic rock" to describe anything that predated the Sex Pistols, there was a genre of popular music known as "classicAL rock," which it signified music that blended classical motifs and themes with the basic structure of rock'n'roll. Several bands were known for this genre, including Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Genesis (when Peter Gabriel was still a member) and Renaissance — musicians who either borrowed from, or were inspired by, classical repertoire in order to give their work a more expansive feel. Today this genre is mostly called "prog-rock" ("progressive rock"), but "classical rock" remains the more accurate term. Of these acts, Renaissance may not have had multi-platinum-level commercial success, but created arguably the most beautiful and "pure" form of classical rock. At times playfully lifting themes from the works of composers like Rachmaninov, Debussy, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Faure, Renaissance created a sound that was majestic, big, fully rock'n'roll, and anchored by John Tout's aggressive piano playing and Annie Haslam's operatic soprano. And while classical rock was never hip enough for the critics who wrote for magazines like Rolling Stone, to those of us who heard beauty in this music, it was (and still is) transcendent and glorious, a testament to humankind's desire to reach for something greater — greater beauty, greater happiness, greater understanding.
Ashes Are Burning was Renaissance's fourth album, but their second featuring their classic lineup of Annie Haslam, John Tout, Jon Camp, and Terence Sullivan (although not credited as a band member, Michael Dunford wrote nearly all the music, and later did take his place as the fifth member of the group). The album's first track, "Can You Understand?" opens with an understated gong which gives way to a piano torrent exploding into an assertive rock jam, an energetic celebration of Renaissance's signature sound. But the music slows down, and accompanied by a twelve-string guitar, Annie's voice soars into the song. With dreamy, impressionistic lyrics, "Can You Understand?" asks the listener to cultivate mindfulness — a theme which appears again and again on this album. As the song portion of this majestic composition progresses, Annie and the band are joined by a full orchestra, adding still more color to the already richly textured sound. Eventually the music erupts into another fit of energetic rocking. Haslam's voice and lyricist Betty Thatcher's otherworldly images might be delicate, but this band has muscles and isn't afraid to flex them.
"Let it Grow" and "On the Frontier" are more subdued showcases for the band's lovely vocals ("On the Frontier" shows that the guys can harmonize beautifully with Haslam), but the true majesty of this recording begins with the fourth track (the first song of side two back in the days of vinyl). "Carpet of the Sun," a light-hearted celebration of nature and light, is probably the closest Renaissance ever came to having a hit single; it is a song that still finds its way onto 70s anthologies, and with good reason. Acoustic guitar, orchestration, and piano weave together in a light, joyful melody, and Annie Haslam's interpretation of the song's sunny lyrics find her voice at its songbird best. It's one of the happiest pieces of music ever to grace a rock album. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" this isn't. It's optimistic, joyful, and deeply spiritual—a perfect antidote to the cynicism of our time.
Lest Renaissance seem pollyannish in the face of all this happy music, "At the Harbour" evokes a darker feeling of loss and grief—all is not sweetness and light in Renaissance's world. A somber song about women waiting for a boat that was lost at sea, it is the dark counterpoint to "Carpet of the Sun." But if these two songs function as some sort of Hegelian thesis/antithesis, the grand synthesis comes in the album's final opus, the 11-and-a-half minute title track. Beginning with a haunting sound of cymbals almost overwhelmed by the whistling of a stormy wind, an introspective mid-tempo piano melody (accompanied by a pulsating bass line) introduces the music. Haslam's voice, sounding pensive and perhaps even wistful, adds to the mood of the lyrics, which explore themes of vision, the taking of a journey, and (again) the need for clarity of mind. Like the central image of burning ashes, the song has a melancholy feel, evoking a sense of loss and regret that seems an inevitable part of the march of time. But this mood suddenly changes when the tempo picks up, the lyrics give way to a graceful passage of vocalise, and the music blossoms like an opening flower into an extended, tuneful jam. Each of the musicians shows off his virtuosity, culminating in a moment of deep stillness, when (accompanied only by an organ), Haslam sings the final verse, a stunning resolution of the song's yearning in a mystical affirmation of forgiveness and love. "Imagine the burning embers, the glow below and above, your sins you won't remember, and all you'll find there is love." What is this referring to? The flames of purgatory? The fires of divine love? Haslam never says. We are left to interpret the words for ourselves: Out of loss comes redemption, out of the passage of time comes the doorway to eternity. Once more, the music explodes into a lovely coda. It's a stunning climax, but as it slowly fades away the message is simple: nothing really ends, it only changes.
Ashes Are Burning is a salutory example of how popular culture can convey the emotional resonance of mystical yearning. Maybe in today's world of rave music and technopop it might seem a little outdated, but on another level it's as timeless as the classical music that inspired this artful band. Beauty, after all, never goes out of style. And if one word could describe the music contained herein, "beautiful" would be the word.

An excellent album from guitarist Pat Martino – caught here at a key point when he was breaking out of his earlier soul jazz roots, and going for a more complicated style that showed he was picking up a lot of spiritual influences from the Coltrane generation. The record's got a core group of players that includes Cedar Walton, Joe Farrell, Ben Tucker, and Walter Perkins – but it also features some extraordinary contributions from Dave Levin and Ray Appleton, who play some odd percussion on the title track "Strings". As a whole, the album's got some wonderful modal jazz moments – all acoustic, save for Martino's guitar, and nicely lyrical, without being too overindulgent. Titles include "Strings", "Minority", "Lean Years", and "Querido". (Out of print. Includes obi.) © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

The state found me on the streets alone when I was two years old. I had lice, was suffering from malnutrition, and cigarette burns covered my body. While in the foster care system, I went through seven foster homes in which I continued to endure abuse. When I was four, a loving family adopted me. Because of my abuse, I had severe scarring all over my body, and my adoptive parents had to put vitamin E oil on me each night before I went to bed. As I got older, the state provided information regarding my abusive family history, but by that time my heart was hardened and guarded. When I became a teen, my parents were unable to emotionally reach me. They sent me to boarding school, but I left and ended up on the streets.
Host Celeste Carey interviews Ediberto Román: author of Those Damned Immigrants: America's Hysteria over Undocumented Immigration.
In Those Damned Immigrants, Ediberto Román takes on critics of Latina/o immigration, drawing on empirical evidence to refute charges of links between immigration and crime, economic downfall, and a weakening of Anglo culture. Román utilizes government statistics, economic data, historical records, and social science research to provide a counter-narrative to what he argues is a largely one-sided public discourse on Latino/a immigration.
Portland police officer Todd Tackett, who the city's Citizen Review Committee found last night was disparaging to an African American man, was promoted this afternoon to sergeant.
Last night's ruling was the result of a complaint filed by 62-year-old Floyd McCorvey last summer that Tackett disrespected and racially profiled him when he falsely accused him of being a pimp and a crackhead and referred to his low-income housing before citing him for jaywalking.
The Portland Police Bureau's initial investigation into the incident found that allegations that Tackett was disrespectful to McCorvey were "unproven."

You make him sound like Paddington Bear.
Which is far from being a criticism. Paddington is a fine philosopher in his own right, and uses an LF camera to boot.

Songs of Love & Death
by Gardner Dozois (Editor), George R. R. Martin (Editor)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I really enjoyed this anthology and am going to post some of the specifics about a few of the stories, but not all of them, that would make for an incredibly long review. I enjoyed the theme of this anthology (being star-crossed lovers) and I enjoyed meeting new characters and learning things about some of my favorite characters I did not know. I hope you enjoy it as well....
Love Hurts by: Jim Butcher
This was a cute, short, pretty easy and flowing story. I found it a tad bit shocking because of the two 'star crossed lovers' but Jim Butcher wrote it well. I love his writing, very humorous.
The Marrying Maid by: Jo Beverly
I did not like this story. It seemed to squish to many legends, myths, and just stuff into one tiny story and I did not like how adamant she was not to be with him and he was trying to force her and the whole "ok, why not" at the end. Annoyed me.
Rooftops by: Carrie Vaughn
This was interesting and uninteresting at the same time. I didn't feel a connection to Charlotte at all but I liked the concept of a story about a masked avenger who is a normal man in a world full of superheros. Overall, ok, wish I could connect to the characters better.
Hurt Me by: M.L.N. Hanover
WOW! This story is creepy, twisted, and just awesome! I know it sounds weird but I don't think I have ever read a story quite like this one. I love the darkness of the story and the way the author just takes it to a whole other level. Very good story!
Demon Lover by: Cecelia Holland
This was an interesting story. It was much like a fairy tale...well I think it was a fairy tale, a dark one. I enjoyed the intricacies of the story and would have loved to see a longer one. I think it would have made a great novel, romance perhaps. I enjoyed it.
More stories in this anthology are....
The Wayfarer's Advice by: Melinda Snodgrass
Blue Boots by: Robin Hobb
The Thing About Cassandra by: Neil Gaiman
After the Blood by: Marjorie M. Liu
You, and You Alone by: Jacqueline Carey
His Wolf by: Lisa Tuttle
Courting Trouble by: Linnea Sinclair
The Demon Dancer by: Mary Jo Putney
Under/Above the Water by: Tanith Lee
Kaskia by: Peter S Beagle
Man in the Mirror by: Yasmine Galenorn
A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows by: Diana Gabaldon
This was a great anthology! I was familiar with several of the authors in it, so I thought I would give it a try.
I was a little disappointed in Jim Butcher's story. I've only read the first Dresden Files novel, and maybe the disappointment comes from not being very familiar with the characters. It seemed mostly like a tease. The actual story parts of it (the two characters are solving a case/mystery) were very entertaining, though.
M.L.N. Hanover's "Hurt Me" was probably the best story in the anthology. I was preparing for a haunted house story where the woman falls in love with the ghost, but... it did not go anywhere near like I expected. I also enjoyed the twist on the theme, though the pair weren't technically "star-crossed lovers" that way. I wish there had been one or two more stories of love gone wrong like this.
Robin Hobb's story was also quite good, and felt more developed than the others. The whole thing read like a cautionary tale though, and I was disappointed it didn't go darker places. Some parts of this were pretty dark, though. It also reminded me a bit of "In the Name of the Wind," but probably only because of the bard and the nomadic murder.
Neil Gaiman's story was contemporary, and had a very clever ending. I was waiting for the punchline the whole time, but was not expecting that. Cute.
I mostly bought the collection to read "You, and You Alone" by Jacqueline Carey. It matched the theme the best, was the only story that had homosexual lovers, and was as lovely as I had hoped. Made me want to re-read Kushiel's Dart.
Mary Jo Putney's story was sweet, and I enjoyed it all the way through, even though it was pretty clear where it was going.
Tanith Lee... I've not read her before, and her story was strange to the point that I almost didn't understand it. But it was ambitious, and quite lovely. I intend to pick up one of her novels.
I'd also read the first three Outlander books this year, so I was looking forward to "A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows." I enjoyed the fact it wasn't connected very firmly to Outlander, and it told a nice story within the confines of the series' magic. I didn't realize who the characters were until the end, so I didn't know how it would end. I also didn't realize I should have been further along in the series...
There were two sci-fi stories that didn't really feel like they belonged. The only other two stories I disliked were the Peter S. Beagle story near the end (the "computer magic" in it was a little too ill-defined for me) and the weird superhero thing by Carrie Vaughn near the beginning.
Overall, I loved the collection. My last foray into a multi-author short story anthology like this was very poor, so I was glad I picked this up and got stories from several authors I like, and a few more I plan on trying.
I picked this up primarily for the Diana Gabaldon story, but there were a lot of excellent stories here, especially "Hurt Me" and of course Gaiman's.
I picked this up because it has stories in a few series that I love: Dresden Files, Kushiel, and Outlander. Plus a Neil Gaiman story. It had some ups and downs. "The Marrying Maid" was insanely bad. Just unbelievably terrible. "You, and You Alone" and "The Thing About Cassandra" were both fantastic. More good than bad overall.
"Love Hurts" by Jim Butcher - Harry and Murphy need to get to the bottom of some freaky love magic. Not bad, but not exceptional. I think I just don't care for Harry and Murphy together... 3 stars.
"The Marrying Maid" by Jo Beverley - Ugh. She's his soul mate, and he will literally die if she doesn't sleep with him right now... This story is so rapey! I will make sure to avoid this author in the future. 0.5 stars.
"Rooftops" by Carrie Vaughn - Superhero romance! Light, but fun. 3.5 stars.
"Hurt Me" by M.L.N. Hanover - Great haunted house story. And apparently the writer is one of the people who wrote Leviathan Wakes, which my boyfriend has been bugging me to read! 4.5 stars.
"Demon Lover" by Cecelia Holland - Fantasy, heavy on the mythology. Predictable, but not bad. 3.5 stars.
"The Wayfarer's Advice" by Melinda M. Snodgrass - Star ships and intergalactic war. Decent story, but nothing exceptional. 2.5 stars.
"Blue Boots" by Robin Hobb - Generically historical, but good. 3.5 stars.
"The Thing About Cassandra" by Neil Gaiman - Brilliant and weird. 4.5 stars.
"After the Blood" by Marjorie M. Liu - How could I not love a post-apocalyptic story about an Amish vampire! 4.5 stars.
"You, and You Alone" by Jacqueline Carey - Delauney's backstory! I'll admit that I cried a bit. Coming right after [Song of Achilles], all the allusions to Patroclus and Achilles made me even more emotional. 5 stars.
"His Wolf" by Lisa Tuttle - Contemporary fantasy set in the southwest. 4 stars.
"Courting Trouble" by Linnea Sinclair - Scifi. I just couldn't bring myself to care about this story... 2 stars.
"The Demon Dancer" by Mary Jo Putney - Urban fantasy. It started good, but then dragged on. 2.5 stars.
"Under/Above the Water" by Tanith Lee - Aren't short stories supposed to be short? It felt like this one went on forever! 1 star.
"Kaskia" by Peter S. Beagle - My first Peter S. Beagle! I've been meaning to check him out for a while. This was a really good story with an honestly surprising twist. 4.5 stars.
"Man in the Mirror" by Yasmine Galenorn - This one has some a lot of similar themes to the other haunted house story in this collection, but it's also really good. 4 stars.
"A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows" by Diana Gabaldon - I stopped reading the Outlander series midway through the fifth book, partially because I found Roger and Brianna incredibly irritating. I was worried I wouldn't like this because it's Roger's backstory, but it's actually quite lovely. It hints and things that must happen after I stopped reading, and now I'm curious. Maybe I'll give it another try... 4.5 stars.

New Update - Lost Sky Box Used to love this app. Was brilliant until the last update I am now unable to contact to my sky box. It's like its vanished. Tried all work arounds nothing works. Please fix this sky...quickly.
Not able to control the volume I didn't find a way to increase or decrease the volume. Can you implement this functionality through this app?
A sync button would help I think it's a pretty good app, useful, but often the planner doesn't sync up to date, for example it's currently showing as if it was 5 days ago and I can't find a way to get it to match the current status.
Badly bust This forced upon update has made my sky box vanish into thin air. Might be best if the app vanished too off the play store till such times when it can make my box reappear.

No name babies- w/ added info
It got me wondering how many of you or your children came home from the hospital without a name. This was 1979 either LA or MS hospital birth.
So ?
Holy cow this thing has taken off! Lol
Thanks ladies!
Edit: I also wanted to mention cause I hadn't really thought about it till this morning. That my mom had previously had a stillborn- a boy, so she was probably very nervous to name and form an attachment to a baby especially another boy.
Also: I cannot believe I've past 500 replies this is insane! Lol
A girl I work with did this recently so I doubt that it's illigal. she didn;t name the baby for rorever! Said they were" going to let the baby choose his own name"
now that I think about it my sister in law's mother was mentally ill and didnt give her children any names so the hospital listed them as girl number 1, boy number 1, ect. Not until they went into foster care were they given a proper name and when they had reached legal age they had to change their birth certificates

I've swapped the rear element of the taking lens for the rear element of the viewing lens on the 135mm and it worked out great.
Printable View
I've swapped the rear element of the taking lens for the rear element of the viewing lens on the 135mm and it worked out great.
Thanks for the input! I wasn't going to take the elements out or anything so I don't need any special tools since it just twists off. I only thought to swap the rear groups but swapping both front and back or taking and viewing is worth a shot as well. I'll try all the variations and shoot a test roll and if all else fails, I'll get the glass cleaned.
I would set up a test -maybe cover a wall with newspaper (because of the fine detail in the print) clamp the camera ona good solid tripod and shot some test shots with a remote cable on a slow fine grained film with a wide aperture (a shallow depth of field shows up focussing issues much better) Then swap the lens elements and repeat.
The trouble with putting a film through in 'normal' usage is that stopping down, camera shake and the fact that each image is different makes it difficult to spot subtle errors. Might be a long time before you hit the conditions that show up a focussing error.
Are you sure the viewing lenses and taking lenses are the same quality ?
Looking at my Mamiya TLR lenses, it would appear that both viewing and taking lenses are identical and are marked identically (apart from the serial number).
There is one exception to the potentially interchangeable rule that I know about - the 80mm 'S' has a different viewing lens construction from the taking lens. The 80mm f3.7 uses a different (Copal) shutter and may also be non-interchangeable. This is not to say that the viewing lens is always as good for photographic purposes, but anecdotal evidence suggests that both optics are of similar quality.


text: hi! 1st boss is called "The Seer" or something. I died in there 15 times, and decided to wait for the patch - or try it again with a friend, because the MERC always dies, even if I manage to place him exactly behind a *working* pillar to hide from the AOE and tell him not to move. He was literally on top of me, I got the message "you hide from...bla bla...", I lived - he got terminated... PS. The only pillars that seem to block the AOE are the ones at the back, the front pillars dont seem to work. May be intended as they dont really block the sight from the energy source on top of the circle. Anyway, please fix the bug, either apply the buff to the mercs too, or make them invulnerable to the damage. It's pretty damn hard to place them correctly anyway already, and even if you tell them not to move and only heal, they still move away from the spot when you're out of their sight inside the circle, so you have to fight outside - which in turn creates more adds... pretty screwed in there with dumb mercs. One praise though - these new instances are VERY BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED. I really like them.

Chris Huhne today set out some important directions of travel for climate change policy over the course of this parliament.
Natan Doron is a researcher at the Fabian Society
Providing scrutiny of the coalition's "greenest government ever" policy package has been an essential task of the environmental movement over the last 18 months. But providing credit where it's due is also important. Chris Huhne today set out some important directions of travel for climate change policy over the course of this parliament.
He had this to say about the energy sector:
"We are determined to get tough with the big six energy companies to ensure that the consumer gets the best possible deal. We want simpler tariffs.
"Requiring energy companies to tell you whether you could buy more cheaply on another tariff. And you can save real money."
This is exactly the kind of talk that we need from our energy secretary at this crucial juncture for policy in this area.
As pointed out already on this blog, consumers are feeling the squeeze and government has a big responsibility to ensure bills are kept low as well as clear and simple. The burden of responsibility for tackling climate change is a sensitive issues and if consumers feel they are bearing a disproportionate share, this could be catastrophic for attitudes towards a range of policy measures.
Getting energy bills right is crucial for this.
Huhne also talked about freeing up red tape to allow smaller companies to compete in the market. Whilst addressing the status quo of energy monopolies, there is an element of caution to proceeding when cutting red tape in the energy sector. More competition is good but bad practice often flourishes in the absence of regulation, so this has to be done carefully.
Huhne is on the right track. But he faces some stiff competition from his less climate-friendly coalition partners. Furthermore, as Friends of the Earth point out, the tough talk on the big six has to be backed up with strong action. We must ensure that we support and scrutinise every step of the way.

Secret garden gift of £2m for V&A
An anonymous donor has given the Victoria and Albert Museum £2 million towards the redesign of its 19th century Italianate courtyard garden.
Work on Kim Wilkie's competition-winning design will start in September and is set to open to the public next summer.
The tranquil new garden in the heart of the museum will have a paved, stone ellipse at its centre that can be transformed into a pool and water display.
Wilkie said: 'The V&A is one of the great treasure troves of the world and it will be a real pleasure to create a simple, open courtyard at its heart.'
The team at Kim Wilkie Associates beat entries from five international designers to win the competition to revamp the courtyard (AJ 19.2.04).
The museum intends to use the new garden for parties, outdoor events and theatre productions.
Mark Jones, director of the V&A, said: 'This will be an elegant, leafy garden which is in harmony with the surrounding architecture and which will add to visitors' enjoyment of the museum.'

I'd be ****** too at the recording software when my drive is full. :D
Ahoy. The name is Mikom. I do 3D modeling, rendering and just general design. I'm a person who over past few years has taken a great interest in formulating ideas in 3D space. Ideas are my trade in many ways yet I also lean towards the practical. I have worked on several mods and game projects though modeling for games is not my first area of expertise. Here on ModDB/IndieDB I keep an eye on the Humor Satire Parody group, I follow the modding community and watch game productions that have peaked my interest. Feel free to go through my blogs or image gallery if you want to get a glimpse of what I do. As always, have a nice day!

Difficulty level: Realistic
Note that this is the second time I have completed the mission, first time Fraps had stopped recording due to lack of disk space. Therefore, I was pretty pissed off at Fraps, the terrorists and life in general. This meant bad accuracy but also more determination.
I actually beat it again in four tries after the first recording failed.
