Anna Karenina, Eifman Ballet of St Petersburg, London Coliseum | Dance reviews, news & interviews
Anna Karenina, Eifman Ballet of St Petersburg, London Coliseum
Dance by and for people with no interest in dance
An apocryphal story tells of an awful theatrical adaptation of the story of Anne Frank. When the Nazis arrive to search the house where the family are in hiding, an enraged theatre-goer shouts, "She's in the attic!" Well, I didn't quite point Anna Karenina to the train station, but the thought crossed my mind.
Boris Eifman has always divided the critics. Western audiences tend to respond the way they do to car crashes: they are appalled, but find it hard to look away. Russians, meanwhile, virtually stand on their seats and scream for more. Eifman, who since 1977 has run his own company in the teeth of Soviet hostility, is now garlanded with praise at home, having new studios and a school created for his own company.
But his ballet vision is, to Western eyes, still stuck firmly in those decaying decades of the fin-de-Soviet empire, when the Lycra ballet was king, and clutch 'n' grope the method of choice. If Ken Russell could choreograph, Anna Karenina is the ballet he would have made. Maurice Béjart (or, as the great critic Arlene Croce spelt it, "Beige Art") did choreograph, and this was precisely the type of thing he made.
Eifman doesn't waste much time or trouble on design or music. The set, by Z Margolin, is a gilt-turned balcony which looks like a Faubourg St-Honoré chocolate shop transported to a Midlands market-town in the 1950s. The music is not only taped, but is bits and pieces of Tchaikovsky, wrenched asunder at will to suit the choreography.
The story is reduced to its bare minimum, simply Anna (Nina Zmievets) torn between an agressive husband (Oleg Markov) and a loved son, and Vronsky (Oleg Gabyshev), all swoony rapture. There is no attempt to show the society the trio live in, to explore why Anna is unable to settle. Karenin has no tragic grandeur, he is not the caring but restrained man, but simply a bully, and a rapist to boot.

Hi Rob. It's a difficult decision to make but I think a necessary one. (No offense intended.) I just want to put my two cents in, as I always do (you should know me by now… lol) and tell you that I've been reading a lot lately about diet soda, and most experts concur that it is just as bad for people as regular soda. Something about the artificial sweetener causing your body to actually crave sweets more than usual. That said, I applaud your decision wholeheartedly. If there's anything we can do to assist, please let us know. Oh and don't dive in to the exercising too aggressively at first… take it slow. OK I guess that might have been more like four or five cents, but hey that's me…
On the Wagon
Two things happen on Monday. First, I will begin my stint as a two days per week telecommuter. I am adding Monday to my usual Thursday. It's fitting somehow seeing as how today marks nine years with this company. The two things are not related, but it is still fitting some how.
The other thing is far more important. I'm getting back on the wagon. My weight is out of control. It's time to start being smart again. Exercise. Stop eating junk. Don't eat as much. Cut down on non-diet soda, if not on soda in general. If I don't get this crap under control I am not going to be able to fit through the door of my home, and that is not sarcasm, I am being literal. Monday. I'm back on the wagon on Monday.
I'm going to try to avoid discussing weight loss on this page, so you probably won't hear much about it after this. That being said, Monday is the day. July 15, 2013. Back on the wagon.
Wish me luck.

I received a message from PacTour this morning, indicating there is some proposed legislation that will close the BRP to cyclists. Here's the message from PacTour which includes contact information on how to voice your comments:
The Blue Ridge Parkway
Is Under Attack!
The Blue Ridge Parkway is a popular route for many cyclists and perhaps many of you have ridden it along with PAC Tour on our Eastern Mountains Tour. It is a stretch of road like a dream, closed to commercial vehicles like semi trucks, the parkway winds through the Blue Ridge mountains, along ridges and through hollows. Climbing out of the valley and into the misty mountains at sunrise is an enchanting memory.
Like many recreation areas in the USA, the Blue Ridge Parkway is under-funded and is considering restricting access to bicyclists. The Parkway has released a new draft management plan that focuses on "the recreational driving experience." If you are reading this email, you are probably a supporter of "the recreational cycling experience" and realize the danger in passing legislation in support of cars and limiting the use of bicycles.
A more detailed account of the draft management plan can be found here.
As PAC Tour has scheduled the Eastern Mountains Tour for fall of 2012, this change in legislation could alter the tour significantly. Please consider writing to the Blue Ridge Parkway with your concerns if you are in support of continuing to cycle on this beautiful stretch of Appalachia.
If you enjoy the Blue Ridge Parkway in its current state and would like to submit a written comment, please do so before December 16th to the Blue Ridge Parkway Draft Management Plan:
Superintendent Philip A. Francis, Jr.
Blue Ridge Parkway
199 Hemphill Knob Road
Asheville, NC 28803
Or you can formally submit comments online here.
Here is a standardized response in support of bicycle access to the Blue Ridge Parkway that you can use in the online form:
Question 1: What proposals or aspects do you like/dislike about the alternatives in this Draft General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (DGMP/EIS)?
I can support proposed Option C only if comprehensive changes are made to include and promote bicycling, walking and other non-motorized forms of transportation as an integral part of the Parkways mission.
As a cyclist, I cannot support the over-arching goals presented in the Draft Management Plan Environmental Impact Statement.
First, a National Historic Landmark designation is the wrong way to protect the Parkway. This status will create obstacles and bureaucratic red tape, and entomb the Parkway in a virtual time capsule. Instead, we should trust the good judgment and stewardship of future generations to preserve and protect this treasure in perpetuity, while meeting the changing needs of our citizens.
Second, Park managers need to understand that the legislation that created the Parkway as a driving experience doesnt fully meet the needs of todays Parkway users, or potential users. The Parkway shouldnt be promoted as a car-only roadway, but should meet the National Park Services Call to Action and Secretary Salazars vision of Connecting Americans to the Great Outdoors. By promoting and accommodating cycling and other forms of alternative transportation, Parkway managers will provide interactive and lasting experiences with one of Americas most loved treasures.
Finally, the Draft Plans alternatives do not address the growing interest in cycling, and fail to acknowledge the benefits that cycling brings to both the Parkway and surrounding communities. The Blue Ridge Parkway is an international cycling destination, and important recreation facility for surrounding communities; vital to their economies, and to provide them with healthy lifestyle opportunities.
Merely allowing cycling on the Parkway is not enough and the message to promote active, healthy use of the facility must be an integral part of the core management plan.
Question 2: Do you have any suggestions for improving the preferred alternative in this DGMP/EIS? If so, what are they?
Parkway management should:
1) halt the National Historic Landmark application process;
2) recognize and promote cycling in the Draft Management Plan as a viable and important aspect of Parkway visitation;
3) modify the Draft Management Plan as presented and work with cyclists, the surrounding communities and the general public to meet the needs of todays changing world. The plan should have a goal of building cycling and alternative transportation into the park planning process in order to meet the National Park Services Call to Action and Secretary Salazars vision for Connecting Americans to the Great Outdoors.

2013-11-07 - After both Christmas Metal and Heavy X-Mas Festivals, that had Germany's Thrash institution DESTRUCTION to play, had been cancelled earlier this week, the Teutonic Thrashers now announce their very own exclusive German Headliner show celebrating 30 Years Of Total Destruction!
The show will take place on November 15, 2013 at Helvete Oberhausen. Supporting DESTRUCTION on that night will be Polish Thrash Outlet WAR-SAW and Swedish Retro Rockers YEAR OF THE GOAT.
Commented front destroyer Schmier:
"2013 was a very busy year for DESTRUCTION, we have played the biggest festivals around the globe and we headlined in the venues & clubs of this round earth. Unfortunalty we couldn't do this earlier, but now at the end of our 30th anniversary we are most happy to announce that there will be a "Best of 30 years" show in Germany as well. After so many years and records it is still a challenge to put up a setlist. For our headliner shows we have a special song selection and an extended concert for all of you that will blow the fans' minds for decades to come. I love playing festivals, but Thrash Metal & DESTRUCTION work out best in a sweaty club! It has been a while since we have been in the Ruhr Area and we are really looking forward to the gig at Helvete!"
Tickets are available online at: http://www.helvete.de/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=47

Weather is one of the most important things to take into consideration when traveling or relocating to a new place. Understanding the climate and weather patterns of an area before going there can save you a lot of time, money, and trouble. From knowing what kind of clothing to bring to figuring out whether your vehicle is properly equipped, it's always a good idea to do a little research ahead of time. Additionally, it's imperative to know the weather conditions as you travel and whether there are any impending storms or road closures due to weather-related issues.
Trip Planning Weather Sites
Before making any kind of trip, consult a trip-planning resource to find out if your intended route is clear. Traveling for hundreds of miles only to find that a mountain pass has been closed due to snow is just one of many possible consequences of neglecting to keep tabs on the road ahead. The pages in this section are all excellent resources for helping you to plan your trip around the weather.
Severe Weather Watches and Warnings
Another thing to be aware of when traveling - especially to a new area - is the possibility of storms and other natural disasters. Some areas are more prone to events like tropical storms or tornadoes and it's best to pay attention to any warnings or watches if you'll be traveling to one of these places. The following sites all utilize storm-tracking technology to give you current information about severe weather.
Mobile and Offline Weather Information
Most of our vehicles and/or phones are equipped with GPS, which has obviously revolutionized the idea of the road trip. One think a navigation device cannot do, however, is to provide information about inclement weather, road conditions, and route closures. The following links will lead you to solutions for receiving on-the-go weather information.
Specialized Weather Sites and Pages
These sites and pages cater to particular groups of people or serve a very specialized function. Each can provide valuable insight for anyone looking to find extensive weather information about a specific region.
Other Reliable Weather Sites and Pages
There are still more reliable and accurate weather sites to check out, so don't give up if you don't like the way the information is presented on the sites you've seen so far. All of the following sites are reputable, easy-to-navigate, and updated constantly.

DLD13 Liveblog: The Israeli Gaming Industry
The Israeli gaming industry is on the move and is a space to watch for both gamers and VCs.
To tell the crowd more about this, the Maxsaal hosted the biggest panel of DLD13, consisting of no less than seven dedicated gamers and developers.
Yuval Sapir of Yahoo, Doron Nir of Happy Sale Ltd., Nir Miretzky of TheGamers.tv, Uri Marcharnd of Overwolf, Shaul Olmert of PlayChangersMedia and Sam Glassenberg and Yaron Leifenberg - both from Funtactix - were on the stage.
The biggest panel of DLD13 discussed the Israeli gaming scene, accompanied by a bottle of Scotch
Gamers by heart, the seven panelists offered insight into both the mentality of real gamers-turned-developers, and the special knack for entrepreneurship and innovation that has come to characterize Israel in recent years.
"I am not allowed to play games for my doctor," said Doron Nir, "But I am gamifying this process. So I get experience points as a reward for not playing."
"Israel and especially Tel Aviv is becoming a hotspot for social gaming," the panelists agreed. This because of practical details like free wifi and a large start-up the community, but also because of a special mentality. Israelis like to create and share their experiences,"so you can always get feedback immediately. There's a certain dynamic" said Lefienberg.
The stage itself also had a certain dynamic, as the seven panelists had brought with them a bottle of whiskey for a very special drinking game: Every time anyone said 'Zynga', a shot of Scotch was downed.
Israel has yet to create its own Zynga, but there are signs that something big is brewing. VCs are getting more and more interested in the industry, and people are getting better at what they do. A core trait of this development is a certain segment of innovators that are dedicated to their cause.
"It's not clear how to make money, but the people are gamers, fully dedicated. It's their passion. Are we an empire of quality content production? Not yet, but we are showing good signs," Olmert posited.
With over 50% of revenue currently coming from in-game purchases, new platforms springing up overnight and massive gaming ventures like Call of Duty making millions on every release, this paints a rosy picture for the industry as a whole. For Israel, opportunities grow, too.
"It's a sign of better times," the panel concluded, "thanks to a community that becomes better as it matures." Just like, well, a good bottle of scotch.

The better the prize, the more the ticket costs. There is no bidding involved nor are any prizes sold for the ticket cost. Your purchased ticket will go into a lottery box and be hand-picked on the night of the auction in front of a large crowd on the evening of February 7, 2015.
When will the rest of the prizes be available for tickets purchases?
We expect the nearly 100 other prizes to be available for raffle tickets purchasing in late December.
What is the drawing date for the Chinese Auction?
Saturday, February 7, 2015 (evening)
How will I know if I win a prize?
If you are not at the actual event, one of our representatives will contact you if your name is picked.
Can I use Maaser money to purchase tickets?
The general guidelines given are that you are allowed to use Maaser money to purchase auction tickets as the money is going to charity. If you win a prize, the money paid for the ticket must be returned to the Maaser Cheshbon. One would also be required to give maaser for the value of the prize won as well. We encourage you to ask your local Rabbi for further information regarding your own personal circumstances.
Will my tax deductible receipt show the full amount of my donation if I am the winner of a prize?
The receipt will show the donation amount, less the prize (value to be determined by you or an official appraiser.) We are governed my legal restrictions that state no goods or services may be received in exchange for the donation.
I live in Canada, what kind of tax-deductible receipt can I expect?
We will send you a receipt for the amount of your donation in U.S. Dollars. The rest is up to you.
Can I exchange my purchased tickets for another prize of the same value?
Yes. While we cannot allow refunds, we do allow exchanges of equal amounts. If your order is placed online, you can exchange by e-mailing us in the contact page.

Business Cycles: Theory, Evidence and Implications
Russell W. Cooper
NBER Working Paper No. 5994
This paper looks at recent advances in the study of aggregate fluctuations. Our emphasis is on three prominent areas of research: the stochastic growth model, economies which exhibit macroeconomic complementarities and models that emphasize heterogeneity. Each section of the paper outlines the theory, discusses relevant empirical evidence and then discusses some implications of the analysis.

Marijuana now legal in two states; details of implementing law yet to be determined

Associated Press A man known as "Professor Gizmo," smokes marijuana in a glass pipe Wednesday just before midnight at the Space Needle in Seattle.

I'm writing an app that tracks time-off via date ranges, and part of my calculations make sure to exclude weekends and holidays. In order to keep track of holidays I'm using a forked version of the Holidays gem(https://github.com/alexdunae/holidays), editing it to recognize holidays that my company recognizes. My fork: (https://github.com/rclark4/holidays).
So far everything has worked just fine for me, but I've run into a problem with the day after Thanksgiving, which is an addition to the original gem. This is an excerpt of what the YAML file looks like:
- name: Thanksgiving
week: 4
regions: [us]
wday: 4
- name: Day after Thanksgiving
week: 4
regions: [us]
wday: 5
While this works from 2008-2012, this doesn't work in 2013 (and won't every 6-7 years), because this November starts on a Friday, so right now it's saying that the day after Thanksgiving is a week before it actually is. I've tried to look at the syntax of all the other holidays to see if there was a precedent for holidays that happened the day AFTER a floating holiday, but I couldn't find one (the closest thing I found was Good Friday to Easter, but Easter has it's own separate method altogether). Any ideas on how to write a function for this?
Let me know if you need any more information!

Rangers Notebook: Is Mitch Moreland The Team's MVP?The Rangers do not have a perfect roster, thus, they have to look for creative solutions to patch up their issues.

Rangers Beat Astros, Take First Place In AL WestThe Texas Rangers overtook the Houston Astros for first place in the AL West, winning another tense showdown 6-5 on a Mitch Moreland sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth.
Moreland Leads Rangers To 4-3 Win Over Padres In 10 InningsMoreland, who struck out as a pinch hitter earlier in the game, delivered when he doubled in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning to help the surging Texas Rangers to a 4-3 victory over the Padres
Moreland's 4 Hits, 4 RBIs Power Rangers Past Twins 6-5Mitch Moreland drove in four runs on a career-high four hits, including a two-run homer to help the Texas Rangers avoid a sweep at Minnesota and rally past the Twins for a 6-5 victory Thursday.
Moreland Hits 2 HRs To Lead Rangers Past Orioles 8-6Mitch Moreland hit two home runs in a second straight game, and the Texas Rangers celebrated the return of Josh Hamilton by defeating the Baltimore Orioles 8-6 on Tuesday night.

When It Comes To Fantasy Baseball, Always Beware Wrist And Foot Injuries On Your RosterStrange as it may seem, not all injuries are created equal in sports. In baseball, any kind of hand/wrist injury can really impact a hitter's ability to turn on a fastball, and those players trying to come back from such injuries often struggle at the plate. Likewise, foot injuries are hard to overcome for hitters and pitchers, especially if it's to a plant foot that gives the player power to swing or throw the ball.

"I can't deal with this commotion," January exclaimed as she hopped back in her ride and hightailed it home.
The blonde stunner is said to have called 911 when she reached her house and dutifully returned to the scene of the accident after being assured that police had arrived and that she would no longer be in danger.

Get an exclusive first look at 'Hunger Games' star's MTV Movie Awards appearance; short film producer Jordan Rubin fills us in!
By Kara Warner
That old adage about a picture being worth a thousand words is particularly appropriate for this sneak peek of "Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence's appearance in a short film set to debut during the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday (June 3).
The photo clearly shows Lawrence with an arrow through her head, and given her unimpressed, annoyed expression when the pic was snapped, she doesn't look too pleased about the situation. But not to worry: The arrow through her head is all for the sake of Movie Awards comedy, for which Lawrence was totally game.
MTV News recently caught up with Movie Awards short film producer Jordan Rubin to get the behind-the-scenes scoop about how Lawrence came to be involved.
"The idea generated from this year being the year of archery," Rubin said. "Archery has really come back in a big way, so it seemed like a good thing to do as a jumping-off point for some comedy.
"You have 'The Hunger Games,' Jeremy Renner [as Hawkeye] in 'Avengers,' 'Game of Thrones,' 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' also 'Brave' is coming out," Rubin added. "It's good comedy fodder, and Jen totally got it. We were so happy she made time."
According to Rubin, the short film revolves around an archery coach who is not necessarily liked by a lot of people in the industry. It features Joel McHale and a cameo from Lawrence.
"[Lawrence] was really funny and gave us a lot of different options and was great at the comedy," Rubin said.

Re: No Games Foundkatiecakes420 Apr 8, 2014 8:14 AM (in response to DorianJF)
I experience this as well wbut when my NAT reads "moderate". I will resart my router, wait for it to connect me back onto live, Then the NAT usually will read "open"
After doing this i am usually able to jump right into a game.
Hope this helps, Cheers!
Re: No Games FoundDorianJF Apr 9, 2014 4:06 AM (in response to katiecakes420)
That hasn't really solved the problem
I have googled this and there are many that are having the same problem. But according to most of the complaints Activision say its not them.( Yeah Right)
This is a real problem. Where in the past you would always find a game, now nothing.
COD Ghosts is broke and someone needs to fix it
Re: No Games FoundEJKHunter Apr 9, 2014 8:43 AM (in response to DorianJF)
It can't be on their end if the 99% majority isn't experiencing it. This could be a number of issues or conflicts.
Your console might have bad playlist or hosting data which is causing your search to be highly throttled. Your router might be on strict NAT, which would make it damn near impossible to find any games. Your router might just be slightly glitched, giving you a temporary strict or moderate NAT fixed by a reboot of the device.
Clear your Xbox's cache, restart. If it's still like this, reset your router, if you have to go into its setting and make sure something didn't bug (a lot of routers now are java based and at times bug out and default settings, which don't change even after a reboot). If that's not the issue, speak with your ISP, they may have throttled your bandwidth, or they may have decided to block certain ports necessary to use Xbox Live Matchmaking servers. All of these things are not on IW or Activision's end, and many may be beyond your control. There are some ISP's that basically run a very tight ship and people that try and online game with them are treated to horrible experiences. There are some ISP's that maybe didn't run that strict, and then yesterday (example) decided to tighten the reigns, which means you aren't the only one in your area running into this. There are some that quite simply throttle one account because.. who knows, ask them lol
What I'm trying to get across is there are lots of reasons. Activision and XBL Matchmaking are not going to do anything to restrict you from playing, why in the ever living f*ck would they do that? There's no logic in thinking that at all. You're experiencing an issue on yours or your ISP's end, and there's quite literally zero Activision can do to help you.
You maybe are one of the minority who experience major connective issues due to netcoding alterations from the patch. They always tweak the code and try new things out, perhaps those changes with your home's connection aren't compatible. That does happen dude, and there's literally nothing at all that can be done. They aren't actively trying to make you stop playing the game, it just so happens that certain router settings, or possibly even ISP settings that you can't change, are now incompatible with this version of the games netcode. I have a buddy that with the last patch (before the current) he basically had unplayable lag. Through his ISP he discovered that it was the netcode translation coming in, the ISP's internal firewall was blocking certain packets because of their security system. They sent Activison a diagnostics report so they'd know that certain ISP's would be unable to fully process transmission of their online software at present. After this last patch, boom, he can play with no lag at all because they altered the netcode so packet transmission doesn't ping well known ISP firewall security lol
I'm thinking your ISP and a few others are experiencing something similar. That or your ISP just turned into one of those rare A-Hole ISP's and they're blocking the Matchmaking ports. Try another game on XBL and see if you don't have game finding issues. Try a couple maybe. If it's just Ghosts, then it's just this patch, and though you're upset and irate, you're among a very small minority experiencing similar issues. Which means support is already likely aware, but the best anyone can tell you would be just hold out... play something else for awhile. It isn't a huge deal, honestly. The world is not coming to an end, cats and dogs are not sleeping together, no mass hysteria. I had an issue like this back with MW3 where I couldn't play for a month. Meh, just played something else until the next patch dropped, then everything was fine. Course, that's how I went from being the highest level among my friends (friendly competition, first to max prestige) to the lowest... one of the first CoD's I didn't max out before everyone else on my list lol but that was the worst thing that happened
Re: No Games FoundDorianJF Apr 9, 2014 11:52 PM (in response to EJKHunter)
Very Valid points raised. Thanks
Problem that I have is that it has happened as soon as the last upgrade came through. Maybe it is a South African thing (Remember this is the Dark continent) because all the members of my clan are all experiencing the same problem since the last upgrade.
So today it was 1hr 45 min before a friend invited me to join him in a game because he had just entered one.
We lets see what happens. Maybe just wait it out. It may only happen when pigs fly, cats and dogs sleep together and there is world peace. Or it may not
Re: No Games FoundxoMrSLAVEox Apr 10, 2014 12:50 AM (in response to DorianJF)
Yes your right it started after last update for me aswell and i have open nat on my router and in the game
Re: No Games FoundButterflyDream Apr 10, 2014 2:00 AM (in response to DorianJF)
I get the same problem on ps3 in South Africa right now. I removed the dlc and now only wait 10 mins or so for a game. It must be happening to a few folks down here because when you get into a game everyone sticks to it for a long long time. Normally there would be mass exodus with certain maps but last few days. One solution is to play some private matches, i have been setting them up a lot lately and they have been some of the most fun i have ever had on COD.
Re: No Games FoundEJKHunter Apr 10, 2014 11:20 AM (in response to DorianJF)
Ah, you're on a different continent, that can happen outside the major three (that wasn't gloating by any means, that's just how some companies refer to it lol)... North America, Europe, and Asia (well, eastern Asia at least) are treated the best in terms of how well the patches and netcoding work with local ISP's and routers and such. Outside of them, other countries have other regulations and what-have-you that most developers and publishers cannot take into consideration due to the limited development time and in the case of CoD, lifetime of support period. They design patches and fixes around the list of ports and coding that the major three utilize and work under, and sometimes when they make changes for us, it screws up things for others (like South Africa for example) in their netcoding - virtually making the game unplayable for pockets of time. You'll be happy to know they become very aware of these issues very quickly generally, so I don't think this will be a long-term ongoing ordeal. If it is, there may be nothing that can be done until the next Title Update drops.
Sometimes, and this is mostly just for we gamers, where you live can really be similar driving with a wheel missing... it can be done, but g'damn if it isn't a b*tch lol It's likely an unforeseen issue in the change to the netcode with this last patch and isn't compatible with your ISPs over there... which sucks >.<
There's also the issue of your servers not updating to align with the patch properly, which is defiantly an Activision problem but that can happen a lot outside of the major three I've noticed. Countries in the middle-east and south-western Asia get it the worst. They'll get the same patch we all got over here, but their servers won't understand half the netcoding data because they haven't been updated themselves yet... which means.. well, you sit in a dead lobby and can't find a single game except for locally hosted ones from within your region... aka, seeing the same 6 people all the time from your demographic region lol eventually your servers will be updated and poof, that problem will vanish
Re: No Games Foundf1r3dra90n Apr 11, 2014 10:54 PM (in response to EJKHunter)
Great explanation. I am in SCA (South Central Asia) right now and having a heck of a time finding matches. Hopefully they patch the servers soon or fix the connection issues in the next update!
Re: No Games FoundNessaBrainZ Apr 9, 2014 12:59 PM (in response to DorianJF)
I haven't had any problem finding a game, so it may not be an issue on their end. It may be related to your router or Internet service. Good luck!
Re: No Games Foundxxsufferedmass Jul 4, 2015 7:54 PM (in response to katiecakes420)
my nat is always open,yet still get no game found all day .survival works thats it.so its not the nat type.
Re: No Games Foundstarbuckfrack Apr 9, 2014 12:55 PM (in response to DorianJF)
Everytime this happens to me I just reboot my router and Xbox. Works every time.
On the ONE I reset my Mac address and that solved a LOT of problems.
Re: No Games FoundFady111 Apr 10, 2014 1:33 AM (in response to DorianJF)
I am on the PS3 and i am having the same problem. everything was normal and right after the update i could not connect to a game on extinction nightfall. I contacted Activision Nearly everyday on facebook and their support page and on reddit, and now i feel that i can work in Activision support. This is how it goes
Hi my name is bla how may i help you.
Right after the update i can not connect to games
Fady i am a gamer my self i can understand your frustration let me see how i can help you
are u wired or wirless.
whats your speed
did you open the ports
what ports
you should connect through DMZ
okay done
whats your nat type
tried with all 3 open moderate and strict
okay Fady since the problem is only with nightfall please try play another game mode and i will forward your issue to the appropriate parties.
This will always be what they will say. there is no thought process at all
I contacted PSN as Activision said the problem could be them and honestly the guy i spoke to their was so much better than Activisions whole support team.
He concluded that since this problem happened right after the update and everything was working fine before that he believes that even though our consoles are updated, some servers for example eastern Europe (Cyprus Greece), middle east and now im guessing Africa have not been updated to match our updated consoles hence not finding games.
This answer made alot of sense to me but he was just guessing. I told this to the support team of activision and they didnt even bother telling me if its a viable answer they just said we will forward it the appropriate parties.
anyway hope this kind of helped i know i am on PS but it could be the same problem
Re: No Games FoundDorianJF Apr 10, 2014 2:30 AM (in response to Fady111)
Thanks so much. I am planning to chat to Activision aswell today.
I will let you know what they say.
Re: No Games FoundExcel_Lowkiii Apr 10, 2014 1:36 AM (in response to DorianJF)
I have had this problem too!! I've tried restarting my console, restarting my router but it doesn't work! Before i go into a game, it shows a handful (around 4000) people on search and rescue. 1. I'm playing on my own so it should drop me in quicker. I end up waiting 15-30 mins for a lobby. Its ridiculous and one more thing!!
THEY NEED CONNECTION BARS INGAME, it's getting ridiculous how I can't see how my connection is and i just end up lagging out! In my opinion, MW2 had quicker and better servers so IW need to fix these problems
Re: No Games FoundBanHaMMer Apr 10, 2014 2:36 AM (in response to DorianJF)
I am on the PS4 in a major city, same problem here. Games hard to come by.
Done all the modem stuff.
Re: No Games Foundzingaa Apr 10, 2014 2:41 AM (in response to DorianJF)
I've also reset everything, still happens once and while. I usually set the controller down for a few and then it's fine
Re: No Games Foundzingaa Apr 10, 2014 3:25 AM (in response to DorianJF)
Yet right after I wrote that ^^^ I couldn't find a game to save my life, maybe something with matchmaking changed again
Re: No Games Foundedibl3underwear Apr 10, 2014 10:00 AM (in response to DorianJF)
im having an issue with this too it kicks me completely offline i have done every trick online and nothing im even getting a new router the update ****** up i deleted it and redownloaded it
Re: No Games FoundDailyKate Apr 10, 2014 2:30 PM (in response to DorianJF)
Hopefully, when the next update comes out, it may help solve this problem. It always seems like when you think tons of people will be on, you can't find a lobby. Kind of sucks.
Re: No Games FoundxoMrSLAVEox Apr 12, 2014 1:59 PM (in response to DailyKate)
Lol hopefully yes but next update can be after a month or 2
Re: No Games FoundDorianJF Apr 11, 2014 12:42 AM (in response to DorianJF)
So could not get hold of Activision yesterday but by looking through google, this is definitely a huge problem.
Well we will have to see what happens when the next patch comes out. This morning I could not get a game at all. So maybe it is getting worse. Who knows.
Re: No Games FoundD4ncem4n Apr 11, 2014 11:32 AM (in response to DorianJF)
Hey i had the same problem so i deleted the first map pack and now i get into games every time in seconds not even getting waiting times from clicking on a game mode right in every time.
Re: No Games Foundstarbuckfrack Apr 12, 2014 2:44 PM (in response to DorianJF)
Dont think if anybody answered this but sometimes and depending on the country you are in only a few people playing at the time might be playing that game mode and also have the map packs.
A good chance that if you bought the map packs you unknowingly forced yourself into low population lobbies. Stick them on a USB and take out the USB when there are problems.
Re: No Games Foundnicocod Apr 13, 2014 5:03 AM (in response to DorianJF)
Sounds like a fault on your end. Don't get me wrong, I know the feel!
I gamed with Nat Type Strict for 2 years. Couldn't find ****! And my ISP said: "We don't support Xbox problems" but then my uncle returned from the army (he visits us once a year, he's into the IT stuff) and told me it's a easy fix!
Logged in onto my router setting on my web browser (didn't even know how to do that, but searched my ISP's forum for solutions) and went to the option "UPnP"and enabled it. After that rebooted my Xbox and boom, Nat Type Open! As easy as that.
Re: No Games Foundxxsufferedmass Jul 5, 2015 11:09 PM (in response to DorianJF)
was having this problem with aw.then i uninstalled gorge and havoc dlc and all the sudden i was getting games.some sort of glitch in matchmaking related to dlc it seems.bummer.

31. NY Giants. The winless Giants rank last in the NFL in both rushing and turnovers (13). That's a terrible combination.

Have you guys seen Sanders McNew images? Stunning..
Yup. Got his book too. Because of him I bought my Tele-Rolleiflex.
Here's the book:
Great work.
He used to be a regular over here, but now is more a presence on Rangefinder Forum. Great photographer and a nice guy in person. I bought a Calumet C-1 "green monster" from him years ago and took the train up to NY to collect it in person.
yes, he's been posting them in the image gallery for quite some time.
Yeah, nice images. The images are also on Flickr in a much better quality than the Blurb preview. I see a familiar face, a model I also shot with. Third photo in the book, the African woman with the dreadlocks listed as a Boston court clerk. Susannah was an excellent model. Good excuse to upload an image of her to the APUG gallery. :)
Great fan of him too! I like Amanda best:

An Ancient Computer Built in 100 B.C.
The Antikythera Mechanism: This wonder was build in around 100-150 BC. We cant imagine how those ancient people without any advanced technology built this computer.

Image via Wikipedia
What is the Antikythera Mechanism
The Antikythera Mechanism is a very or ancient mechanical computer that is designed to show astronomical positions, like the position of the sun, moon and different planets in our solar system during different time. It was found in 1901 by some sponge divers in a shipwreck off the Greek island of Antikythera. Unfortunately the part that was found was only a part of the mechanism and it contained a mass of corroded metal, thin flat round bronze plates and gears with triangular teeth. After some investigation scientists concluded that it was made in around 150-100BC. And scientists also guess that it was on a ship that sank in the route from the Greek island of Rhodes to Rome. This mechanism was a very improved technological artifact at that time. And this type of mechanism was not made until thousands of years after the Antikythera mechanism was made.
The Antikythera Mechanism is the oldest known complex scientific device. This mechanism contains many gears and is regarded essentially as an analog computer. Scientists state that this mechanism was build upon the theories of astronomy that the Greek scientists developed. And all the instructions of the mechanism are written in Greek. So, scientists guess that it was probably made in Greece. But why was it in a cargo ship? We are still not sure, but it was most probably that this mechanism was being transported to Rome from Greece, along with other loots.
Even though we know that where the mechanism was made in, we still are not sure who or where it was made. One hypothesis is, it was made in an academy which was founded by the ancient philosopher Posidonius, which is located in the Greek island of Rhodes. And it was designed by the astronomer Hipparchus because the mechanism has a lunar mechanism that uses the Hipparchus's theory for the motion of the moon. But some recent researches also states that the concept for the mechanism originated in the colonies of Corinth, which has a connection with the famous astronomer Archimedes.

Yemeni soldiers killed in ambushComment on this story
Shehr, Yemen - Gunmen killed two soldiers in an ambush on an army patrol in south-eastern Yemen on Monday, a security official said.
"Unknown gunmen opened fire at a military vehicle killing two soldiers," the source said. The attack took place at the entrance to Shehr, a coastal town in Hadramawt province.
The assailants fled, he said.
The ambush coincided with an army operation launched April 29 against suspected al-Qaeda militants, centred on Abyan and Shabwa in the south and the central province of Baida.
But al-Qaeda is also firmly implanted in other regions, including Hadramawt.
Its Yemeni franchise, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, took advantage of a 2011 uprising that ousted veteran president Ali Abdullah Saleh to seize large swathes of the south and east.
The army recaptured several major towns in 2012, but has struggled to re-assert control in rural areas despite recruiting militia allies among local tribes. - AFP

BOSTON � From Eddie Shore to Bobby Orr to Raymond Bourque, the Boston Bruins have played a certain way � and been pretty successful at it.
The bruising and often belligerent style of the Original Six franchise was best embodied by the �Big Bad Bruins� of the 1960s and �70s, and it helped establish the way Boston teams are still expected to play. So when the Bruins lost, 6-5 to Chicago in Game Four of the Stanley Cup finals on Wednesday night, purists were aghast.
�I don�t think any coach likes the back-and-forth, exchanging chances,� Bruins coach Claude Julien said Thursday, a day after he said it just wasn�t �a Bruins type of game.�
�Although it�s exciting for the fans, you�re looking for some zone time. � People construed �Bruins hockey� as being rough-and-tumble and not much else. But I talk about not playing our game.�
Brent Seabrook scored 9:51 into overtime to help the Blackhawks tie the best-of-seven series at two games apiece and regain the home-ice advantage.
Although it was the third overtime game of the finals, it looked nothing like the tightly contested and low-scoring first three games. The five second-period goals on Wednesday night were as many as the teams scored in Games Two and Three combined, and the 11 goals total were nearly as many as had been scored in the whole series to that point.
�I�m not going to sit here and complain about the high scoring,� Julien said, clarifying that he was more concerned about the poor defensive play that allowed it to happen. �It�s almost like saying we�re not allowed to score or we don�t want to score, and that�s not right. I�d like to win, 5-1, instead of losing, 6-5, but we want to score. It�s probably the way we gave some of the goals up.�
Bruins forward Chris Kelly said the five goals the Bruins scored proves that, in spite of their reputation as a hard-hitting, defense-first team, �we can skate with them.�
�They�re a good skating team, but so are we,� Kelly said. �I think we can keep up with any team in the league; we�ve proven that. I don�t think it�s the style of hockey that we want to play, but we have guys that can score goals just as well anyone else in the league.�
They just don�t want to.
One of the things that opened the game up was Chicago�s early scoring. After going more than 120 minutes without getting a puck past Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask, the Blackhawks made it 1-0 on a short-handed goal in the first seven minutes of Game Four.
Then, with the score tied after one period, Chicago took a two-goal lead � its first of the series � with a pair of goals about two minutes apart.

The product is well suited for any kind of environment, it goes well with almost anything I wear. The inside feels pretty warm during normal days but I would not recommend wearing just this during cold winter times. Overall it's a well designed product and I love it. ... read more
Having tried a selection of twelve raincoats from a variety of brands, this one far outclassed the others. The fit is perfect, I am 6'3" and the medium was spot on. The waterproofing is 100% only without the internal sweating issues you get with other jackets. It's super breathable. And even better, the zips front and back mean flexibility, which means it's comfortable for cycling as much as walking. Solid. ... read more
I order this for visibility while running at night. I was also hoping it would be warmer. It's very thin. It ran a bit big on me as well. I'm 5'9'' and 146lbs. I've had many other adidas running jackets and this one wasn't up to par with the others. If you are looking for a very thin jacket to keep the elements off you, this would probably be great, but it wasn't what I was hoping for. ... read more
This is one of my favorite purchases. It fits great and is a perfect jacket for running. I purchased this jacket because I wanted to be seen on the road now that the days are getting darker earlier. I love it's reflective abilities and how it keep me dry.It is very comfortable, too! ... read more
Fantastic top, looks great and great quality. would highly recommend and well worth the money as will last and last. colour however is not bright red as in the photo more like a rust colour but still very nice ... read more
I love them, bought the fox red a couple of months ago and have since bought the navy, black and jungle ink. Every one a winner. Classic style that looks great on anyone, amazing quality and great price. just buy it now. ... read more
The speed and quality of the service was excellent, but watch out when ordering your colour. I thought I was ordering a red jacket to find a FOX red one turn up (this is a burnt orange colour). It wasn't the fault of Adidas store just a mishap on my part, but I did have a disappointed son on his birthday! ... read more
I was delighted with my new adidas originals tracksuit top which I bought as soon as it came out. I had a very similar top in the 1980s so it was great to get a new version of an old classic. Quality is excellent and definitely my favourite product of the originals release. ... read more
I've had the Adidas Storm Jacket for about 4 years now and it's still going strong with no real need to purchase another but luckily I needed a reflective version for running in the evenings! This is just as good as its predecessor. Very light weight with excellent wind proofing and warmth. The formotion fabric makes it very soft and it is very visible! I would have preferred the side pockets to have zips, like my current jacket but there is a zipped pocket at the back for small valuables ... read more
Love the jacket. I'm typically a medium however the medium was tight across the arms and back. The fabric does NOT stretch so I had to order a size larger. The larger size works, a little blousey in the stomach/waist area but it's still a very eye catching, comfortable and necessary piece for an athlete's wardrobe. Other than it being a little tight, I'm in love. ... read more
Would recommend to any United fan as the range is specific to Manchester United and success in that period, therefore bringing a sense of Nostalgia to some. Delivery came when it said, material and fit is great. Buy. ... read more
Adidas sure knows how to make an old fan feel young again. I had this track top when I was a young boy in the 80's. Great quality, vintage design and thick material with warm lining. Ideal to wear in the autum / winter. Love it. ... read more
The snake detail is very unique and feels amazing to touch! The reflective element adds for a fun look. The fit of the jacket is exactly as it is described and it looks exactly how it is pictured. I wear this jacket everywhere, it has become my new obsession. I recommend if you are contemplating purchasing this jacket just do it! You'll be 100% satisfied and blown away with the level of quality. Makes me happy just thinking about it. ... read more
Fabric is thick enough, but still pretty soft. Fits not too loose, not too tight, just perfect for a sporty yet stylish look. Love the colour - very vintage Adidas. Overall, very good quality for the price. I'm happy with my purchase! :) ... read more
Well I went by the photo when buying this it looks completely different in colour compared to the photo but the shoes I bought to go with it are being sent back because I like the jacket better and quality is great to overall pleased with this product but photo needs to change for us who dont read up on the product lol ... read more
I like this jacket because of the colour - really bright and vivid. I wear it with jeans and longer shirt and it fits great. Im 161 cm and choose size 8 - it fits just perfect. If you want something little bigger I would suggest you to go one size up! Other then that - I honestly love Adidas because of its good quality. Thats all I need, baby:-). ... read more
This jacket is so sleek! I'm such a fan! It's a great in between piece. It's like a comfortable leather bomber in a sporty fabric. I fit large/extra large with my short, curvy figure and this jacket fits perfectly with the stretch panels on the sides and thumber arm sleeves. I've worn it as a early fall light jacket and layered under a warmer puffy coat and it's ideal. My new closet staple! ... read more

Youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner – yes she's female, and yes she's Muslim!
by: Saadia Faruqi on October 10th, 2014 | 2 Comments »
I switched on my computer early this morning to get a lovely surprise: Malala Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize for 2014. For all those who think Muslim women are too oppressed, too quiet, or too busy being mothers and housewives, to make international news, todays' announcement from the Nobel Peace Committee may have come as a bit of a shocker. For me, it was validation of a lot of things.
If you can't tell from these words that I am bursting with pride, let me break it down: I am absolutely ecstatic! Here's why:

They all have red capes or fur. And you have to do it in order. The first is Jason with the golden fleece and then the others are in chrnological order. just look for red.

Try the zoom button; from memory, this will reveal some relevant dates. Of the two Christ-related pictures bearing the same date, "The Last Supper" is obviously going to be the later of the two.
6 years ago
It's the first one in the top row, second one in the top row, third one in the top row, fifth one in the top row, and the first one in the bottom row. I forget if it's supposed to be in order, but if it does have to, just zoom into the picture by pressing R2 and put it in order according to the dates next to the pictures' names. In the next part of the puzzle, you will see Jesus on the cross. Move the cursor to the right of his hip. You should find a Piece of Eden. Click on it.

Updated 05/08/2015
Named after the difference in temperature between a medium-rare and well-done burger, this upscale burger joint is inside one of Hollywood's hippest hotels. The action at 25 Degrees revolves around a counter constructed of rich oak instead of Formica, and Cabernet is favored over cola. Order the No. 1 (caramelized onions, Gorgonzola and Crescenza cheeses, bacon, arugula, and Thousand Island dressing), or create your own masterpiece from a selection of premium meats, artisanal cheeses, and house-made condiments. A long list of half-bottles makes wine pairings easy for solo diners. The restaurant is open 24 hours. If you're unsure about burgers for breakfast, the other choices include a right proper fried egg sandwich.

Don Walker offers news, notes and perspective on the sports business landscape
Want a piece of Aaron Rodgers? It could happen through stock
A San Francisco-based brokerage service announced on Thursday a new marketplace where investors can buy and sell shares linked to the value and performance of the brand of an athlete.
Take Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. A few years ago, he was the backup to future Hall of Famer Brett Favre. But once Rodgers took over, his visibility and marketing potential soared. He's a former Super Bowl MVP.
Fantex thinks that can be an investment. Fantex will sell common stock that, according to its website, is "linked to the economic performance and value of a brand of a professional athlete - such as income earned from contracts, endorsements and appearance fees."
In Rodgers' case, he has a five-year, $110 million contract. He has numerous marketing deals, including agreements with State Farm Insurance, Ford Motor Co., Associated Bank and more. That would suggest Rodgers has a bright future as a brand.
According to the New York Times, Fantex has selected Arian Foster, a running back with the Houston Texans, as its first IPO. "Buying shares in the deal will give investors an interest in a stock linked to Mr. Foster's future economic success, which includes the value of his playing contracts, endorsements and appearance fees," the newspaper reports.
Lest you think this is a joke, you can read Fantex's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
But beware. According to Fantex's filing, "this offering is highly speculative and the securities involve a high degree of risk."
Unless you believe Rodgers has a huge upside.

2015 Fall Conference at Reformation Bible College: So Great a Salvation
from Nathan W. Bingham Sep 19, 2015 Category: EventsAs R.C. Sproul has said, the most serious problem we face as humans is that "God is holy and we are not."

In addition to those attending Fall Conference, we were joined this weekend by prospective Reformation Bible College (RBC) students as they took classes during the college's Preview Weekend, spent time meeting with faculty and current students, toured the campus, and joined us for RBC's fifth annual convocation service on Friday evening.
