At this point I'm speaking in a hypothetical sense as I don't know what I want to do yet or if it would even be a good idea.
I have a beautiful standardbred mare. She is a trotter, built more like a tb and has a beautiful way about her. She is quiet, level headed and has a work ethic unlike any horse I've met. She has a beautiful floating trot and level balanced canter. After only 5 rides she stands quiet to be mounted and I took her on her first trail ride where she lead the way going through ditches full of water, walks over fallen trees and goes anywhere you point her. She trots quietly under saddle, doesn't even try to pace. And she is starting to work "on the bit" at the walk. Have I mentioned an 11 year old girl is riding her? Granted the kid is talented and an excellent rider but still.
I want to get her out showing and see how she does and if she proves herself in the show ring I think I'd like to breed her. However I'd want to breed to a sport horse or tb.
Would you breed her? Putting prejudice against standies aside. If so who would you recommend for a stud? I would like to be able to register the foal as a sport horse. Again this is only a thought right now and pretty much hypothetical.

Researcher works to make sugarcane resistant to brown rust disease
LSU AgCenter molecular biologist Niranjan Baisakh is studying DNA markers in sugarcane associated with resistance to the brown rust fungus. (Photo by Olivia McClure)
News Release Distributed 02/20/14
BATON ROUGE, La. – Brown rust fungus poses a serious threat to Louisiana's nearly $1 billion sugarcane industry. Thanks to funding from the American Sugar Cane League, LSU AgCenter molecular biologist Niranjan Baisakh is studying DNA markers in sugarcane associated with resistance to the fungus. He hopes to help sugarcane breeders develop varieties that block the fungus at the molecular level.
The fungus, which creates orange to reddish brown lesions on sugarcane leaves, is spread by spores that blow through the wind. The lesions' damage prevents leaves from collecting enough light to effectively perform photosynthesis. Thus, the plant cannot produce sufficient energy to grow and be healthy.
Baisakh said the yield of nonresistant cane varieties can be reduced by 20 percent to 50 percent.
Scientists have been studying sugarcane resistance to brown rust fungus for more than 20 years, Baisakh said, but a gene called Bru1 is the only indicator of resistance located so far in sugarcane. The frequency of Bru1 in Louisiana sugarcane varieties is low, meaning it has not been used effectively as a means of breeding resistant varieties, he said.
However, there are some varieties that are resistant to the fungus that do not contain Bru1.
Baisakh's goal is to track DNA characteristics of fungus-resistant varieties to determine genetic components of resistance. Once resistance genes besides Bru1 are discovered, varieties containing them can be crossed with those with Bru1 to form "gene pyramids" that force the fungus to overcome multiple genes instead of one.
It is important to identify these alternate resistance genes because brown rust fungus often adapts to sugarcane varieties as acreages increase.
"If you have just one variety planted and it is resistant, then the fungus has the ability to adapt and overcome resistance because the fungus has no known alternative host," Baisakh said. "You can't depend on just one resistance gene."
Baisakh works closely in this effort with other AgCenter researchers – Jeff Hoy, Collins Kimbeng, Michael Pontif and Kenneth Gravois – and Anna Hale, a researcher with the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service Sugarcane Research Unit in Houma.
Gravois said brown rust fungus arrived in Louisiana in 1979. Today, it is "probably one of top two diseases we deal with."
In 1993, the AgCenter released the high-yielding sugarcane variety known as LCP 85-384, a variety that became so popular that it made up 91 percent of Louisiana sugarcane acreage by 2004. It was highly resistant to brown rust fungus when it was released, Gravois said, but the disease eventually made its way in and hurt the industry.
Today, LCP 85-384 is grown on less than 1 percent of acreage in the state. Gravois said the replacement was HoCP 96-540, which came out in 2003. Over the years, it too became susceptible to the disease.
"The good thing about that situation is the percentage of 540 in the Louisiana sugar industry never got above 45 percent," he said. "When you get a variety on a large percent of acreage, it puts more pressure on the disease organism to change and adapt."
Until about three years ago, the only way to deal with the fungus was to develop varieties that resist it, Gravois said. Growers now have a couple of fungicide options that help extend the life of some sugarcane varieties, but they are expensive. They also do not take away 100 percent of the damage, so Gravois said varietal resistance remains the best option.
Sugarcane breeding, however, takes 12 to 14 years, and molecular studies are slow because sugarcane is a genetically complex plant that does not have a fixed chromosome number. Baisakh said sugarcane is much more difficult to manipulate than crops such as rice.
Epidemics of brown rust usually happen early in the growing season, Baisakh said. Fortunately, young plants can be tested for resistance, which saves time and money. DNA of thousands of plants can be tested in a laboratory inside small tubes, which is easier than planting an entire field just to see if a variety is resistant, he said.
Baisakh said this season has been colder than usual, so farmers may assume their cane is safe from the fungus when, in fact, they may be growing susceptible varieties. If they plant the same varieties next year and the weather is warmer, they may be surprised with a severe outbreak of rust.

Scandal Postmortem: Will Olivia and Fitz Finally Get Together?
Kerry Washington, Tony Goldwyn | Photo Credits: Danny Feld/ABC
[Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Thursday's Scandal. Read at your own risk!]
Olitz fans, rejoice!
Thursday's episode of Scandal featured the moment Olivia (Kerry Washington) and Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) fans had always hoped for, but weren't really sure would ever happen: Fitz chose Olivia once and for all!
After Mellie (Bellamy Young) put a deadline on their marriage, Fitz decided to run the clock out alongside Olivia, proving that his heart was with her, instead of the First Lady. Despite the outcome, Mellie didn't falter, going on live news at the deadline and revealing to the nation that the President had been unfaithful in their marriage. Does this mean Olivia and Fitz finally get to be together?
Scandal: Jake Ballard's true identity and Huck's past revealed!
Meanwhile, after OPA deduces that Charlie (George Newbern) is behind the attack on Huck (Guillermo Diaz), they all suspect Cyrus (Jeff Perry) is the mole, but — twist! — someone else is the mysterious Albatross. Who is it?! TVGuide.com caught up with Goldwyn, who also directed the episode, to get the scoop on the future of America's favorite couple and what's in store for the finale:
Now that the news is out there that Fitz has been unfaithful, what's the immediate fallout like?
Tony Goldwyn: Mellie has taken a nuclear option. She's really blown things up. Fitz is willing to take responsibility for that. He takes what he says to Liv very seriously when he relays to her what Cyrus had said: You have to sacrifice for what you love. Fitz is done. He believes that he's gone so far off the rails in terms of being true to himself that it's only resulted in literally death and destruction. The only path he sees is to get real, and it began with that conversation he had with Mellie where she said their marriage is a lie and when he confronts her with the true story of how they met. Fitz has committed himself to facing the truth. He confessed to Cyrus about killing Verna (Debra Mooney). Whatever the fallout is, he's willing to take the responsibility for that.
When Mellie went on air, she made it seem like they would be trying to repair their marriage. Was that part of her game plan -- trying to force his hand into making it work?
Goldwyn: I think so. At the end of the day, Mellie wants Fitz and wants to hang onto power. Mellie is an incredibly clever woman, in many ways cleverer than Fitz. She wants to have her cake and eat it too.
This reveal is not going to help him get reelected. He's considered giving up the presidency before. Might he consider that again?
Goldwyn: By calling Mellie's bluff in this way, he's willing to consider the fact that he might not win reelection. He's aware that the chance is slim and all he cares about is Olivia. At the end of Season 1, he wanted to resign, and Mellie and Liv got in league and forced Fitz to hang in there in office. That's how Season 1 ended, so I believe he's willing to do it again.
Right now, Olivia and Fitz are in a bubble of happiness. They didn't even turn on the news to see Mellie's announcement. From the beginning of the series, executive producers Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers have stated that this is an impossible relationship because he's the President of the United States. Do you think that still holds true? Or do you think that even when the bubble bursts, they can still have a relationship?
Goldwyn: As long as Fitz remains in the White House, it's going to be tough. I feel so identified with Fitz personally that I have to believe it can work. But it makes this such a great television show that it's impossible and yet we want it to happen. Another way to look at it is that bubble relationships, while they're extraordinary and intoxicating and beautiful, are almost always impossible to sustain. So unless the bubble completely bursts, it's going to be very difficult for Fitz and Olivia to have a functional relationship, but I'm pulling for them.

Chris Ferguson commanded Atlantis' final flight, closing out the shuttle program.
- Filed Under
Simply said, Chris Ferguson is impressed.
Riding east on NASA Causeway with colleague Susan Wells, the commander of NASA's last shuttle mission recently caught sight of the immense building rising at the entrance to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
It was striking. He was astonished.
"I mean, it looms on the horizon," said Ferguson, 51, who brought the orbiter Atlantis - and 31 years of shuttle fleet operations - to a final "wheels stop" on July 21, 2011.
"I told Susan, 'Wow! Look at it! It's really quite a structure!' "
Covering 90,000 square feet, the exhibit is being built to house Atlantis in retirement. And when the spaceship makes its way there today, Ferguson plans to be on hand.
"We'll be here," he said. "Got to be here."
Now about halfway complete, the $100 million Atlantis exhibit is scheduled to open to the public in July 2013. Rising six stories, the facility will display the spaceship as if it were zooming around Earth at 17,500 mph - a mind-boggling five miles per second.
The orbiter's clam shell-like payload bay doors, which are 60 feet long, will be open. Its 50-foot-long robotic arm will be extended.
Anchored at a 42-degree angle, its landing gear will be raised. Visitors will get up close to the underside of the orbiter and the 24,300 thermal tiles that cover it.
Ferguson, who now is working with Boeing on a new-generation commercial spacecraft for astronaut crews, was dazzled by both the building and the display plans for Atlantis.
"It was a neat moment to see (the building). It's huge, and I think it's a fitting home," Ferguson said. "It will be a very fitting tribute to the shuttle program."

It's a slow news day so let's just check out Mischa and her fabulous look. The girl must have a whole closet of Chanel purses. She spoke about her love for the recent hippie look and is declaring she's not a sweat suit type of girl. Here's more:
She said she liked a new hippie-inspired fashion trend in Los Angeles.
"The idea of doing beautiful sun dresses and flat sandals and lots of layers of jewelry and accessories," she reportedly said. "I am not big into the beachwear, sweat suit look. That is not really my vibe. What suits me is a little more rough around the edges."

"Everybody told me I had this voice for the radio," Bass says backstage on a recent summer evening.
But once backstage, you realize that each performer plays many parts.

Madonna introduced them and Yoko Ono assured them backstage that "every step you take will change the world."
There's a certain amount of backstage technical work to do, but the position is mostly editorial.

The history of Lithuanian professional music is indeed short, spanning about 100 years only. This could seem rather paradoxical, bearing in mind that already the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (1236) had a favourable influence upon the development of music at the court of the ruling Grand Duke. When the greater part of Lithuania had adopted Christianity (1387), professional music came to the fore. In the 16-17th centuries Vilnius, the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, was an important scientific and cultural centre of East Europe. The historical sources witness a lot of musical activities in this period, including church choirs, court orchestras, and luxurious stagings of Italian operas. The greatest part of the musicians, and especially composers, were either invited from abroad, or belonged to different national groups integrated into the multi-national Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
Mikalojus Konstantinas
It was only the end of the 19th century when the rudiments of the Lithuanian professional music tradition appeared, together with the building of the new Lithuanian national identity, while struggling against the Russian tsarist government. The various cultural societies that were coming to life at this time set up choirs, orchestras, organized concerts and lectures, musical contests. The arrangements of folk songs for choirs and sacred hymns constituted the greatest part of the creative activities of the Lithuanian composers of this time; many of the composers were also church organists and choir leaders. They were writing quite traditional, even old-fashioned music, mostly in the style of the first half of the 19th century. The only exception was the composer and artist Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875-1911), a forward-looking artistic personality, who is considered the founder of Lithuanian national music - and the pathfinder of Lithuanian modern music as well, because of his luminous imagination, highly individualistic pursuits of innovations, and at the same time, the parallels with the very modern trends in Western music.
Čiurlionis studied music composition in Warsaw and Leipzig, and later, fine arts in Warsaw. The bulk of his work consists of symphonic (poems "In the Forest" and "Sea") and piano compositions in a style typical of music of the beginning of the 20th century: late romanticism developing into original expressionistic and constructivist explorations. In his late piano works, there are found early prototypes of the serial techniques, and even a unique example of something that one could call the concept of 'fractal music', dated back as early as 1905! The peculiarity of Čiurlionis' artistic personality is that he was both composer and painter, therefore he often modelled his musical expression after the inner laws of visual art, and vice versa.
During the years of the First Lithuanian Republic (1918-1940), a most significant group of composers worked in a late romantic style laced with folk music patterns, and making use of the modern techniques they were aware of (foremost, characteristic of the early German modernism). The leader of this group was the founder of the professional Lithuanian composers' school, and probably its best-known figure, Juozas Gruodis (1884-1948). He graduated from the Leipzig conservatoire and founded the Kaunas conservatoire. The majority of the 20th century Lithuanian composers are erstwhile students of his (or their students, in turn). In his works (orchestral, vocal, piano) one can found romantic, impressionistic and expressionistic features combined with Lithuanian folk melodies - an attempt to develop a 'national style'. This is also an identifiable tendency in the music of his contemporaries and followers who later emigrated to the USA (Vladas Jakubėnas, Kazimieras Viktoras Banaitis and others). Gruodis was the first who paid attention to the 'modern' sound of the sutartinė - old Lithuanian type of multipart singing which features dissonant second intervals, syncopation, and elementary scales distinctly different from the major-minor system.
In this period there also worked a more radically modernistic group of composers, namely, Vytautas Bacevičius, Jeronimas Kačinskas and Julius Gaidelis, all of whom emigrated to the USA during WW II. Vytautas Bacevičius (1905-1970) was the brother of the famous Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz (they were born in a mixed Lithuanian-Polish family). Bacevičius studied in Poland and Paris. In his works (seven symphonies, many works for piano, piano concertos, etc.) the expressionistic and constructivist features are distinct, the music is atonal and athematic. In his late period, Bacevičius wrote (after his own definition) 'cosmic music' ("Po?me cosmique" for piano, "Rayons cosmiques" for organ).
Meanwhile, Jeronimas Kačinskas (1907-2005), studying in Prague with the inventor of quartertone music Alois H?ba (who appreciated Kačinskas as the most tallented among his students), began to write quartertone music himself, later abandoned it and subsequently worked in a free, atonal and athematic (non-reprise) style.
The Soviet occupation (1940) and the period of war suppressed the natural development of Lithuanian music. Music and, indeed, the whole of cultural life, was regulated by the state institutions according to directions issued by Moscow. Music and other arts had to serve the official ideology and propaganda. Everybody had to follow the leading Soviet composers and 'great masters of the past'. Those composers who went beyond the bounds, were charged with 'formalism' and victimised, as Jonas Nabažas (1907-2002), a student of Nadia Boulanger in Paris, highly intelligent and inventive composer, who almost ceased his creative activity as he wouldn't feel like to agree to any compromises.
Nevertheless, contacts with modern Western culture were renewed little by little. The contemporary music festival, "Warsaw Autumn", held in neighbouring Poland, served then as a window to the world for the Lithuanian composers who used to attend, first as listeners, and later as the authors of works performed at the festival. Thus, some of the more modern trends of the 20th century music (serialism and structuralism, aleatory composition, collage, early instances of electronic music) found their way into Lithuanian music.
This turn in music was triggered at the beginning of the 60's by the older generation composers, namely Eduardas Balsys (1919-1984), whose music is distinctly expressionistic, and Julius Juzeliūnas (1916-2001), who tends more to neo-classicism. It was then continued by younger authors such as Vytautas Barkauskas (b.1931) and Vytautas Montvila (1935-2003). The most radical iconoclast of that time was considered Antanas Rekašius (1928-2003) who used a great deal of aleatoric methods in composition and performance to achieve grotesque and parodical effects.
Another distinct turning point in Lithuanian music came at the beginning of the 70's when the pursues for individual style and non-traditional forms of composition and performance, became more active. A penchant for epic large-scale works and massive sound of big orchestras receded and the amount of music written for small chamber ensembles increased abundantly. In contrast with previously written music, often overcrowded with texture and expression, the tendencies of minimalism and new simplicity began to prevail. Among the most distinguished composers from that period of changes we could highlight Vytautas Barkauskas, Bronius Kutavičius, Feliksas Bajoras, Osvaldas Balakauskas, and Anatolijus Šenderovas.
Vytautas Barkauskas (b.1931), a graduate both in mathematics and composition, once was probably the most active adherent of avant-garde music in Lithuania. Greatly influenced by Krzysztof Penderecki, Witold Lutosławski and György Ligeti, he explored bravely the diversity of attributes of Western musical modernism, from serial techniques to aleatoric composition and collage. Later the composer withdrew from his rigid avant-gardist attitudes and turned towards more intuitive approach, striving to make his music expressive and emotional. Starting from the early 80's, he writes rather conventional concerto-type works, well-balanced and favoured by many performers in Lithuania and abroad.
Bronius Kutavičius
nuotr. Arūno Baltėno
The creative work of Bronius Kutavičius (b.1932) stands out in the unique way of treatment of musical time and space. This composer is considered a harbinger of minimalism in Lithuanian music (some call it 'expressionistic' or 'ritualistic' minimalism). Paying special attention to the spatial organisation of music, to the placement and movement of performers, he aims at involving the listeners inside of the musical process. These tendencies began to appear in his music in 1970 when he wrote "Pantheistic Oratorio", the first of a series of works called 'oratorios' (the others, "From the Jatvingian Stone", "Last Pagan Rites", "The Three of the World"). They are all highly theatrical, like reconstructions of ancient folk rituals and ceremonies. Archaic folk instruments and even 'sounding objects' (stones, nails, etc.) are used, the musical material is reduced to rather elementary archetypal patterns, and the hypnotizing pulse of persistent rhythm is brought to the front.
The creative work of Feliksas Bajoras (b.1934) shows different, though equally close connections with folk music. His compositions seem to be more traditionalist, and more intuitive. Sometimes Bajoras' music is called 'new folklorism' although there is no reconstruction or stylization of folk music. The composer thinks that the folk idiom and the modern techniques of composition should coexist in harmony. So in his works one can hear imprints of different styles simultaneously, such as neo-romanticism, expressionism, neo-classicism, and sometimes even popular music, along with the persistent feel for Lithuanian folk music. What distinguishes his work is the organic development of melodic parts in which one can feel the intonations of spoken language; the melodies closely resemble folk songs, maintaining the specific manner of the folk singers, with free rhythm and many meaningful rests.
Osvaldas Balakauskas' (b.1937) music and creative philosophy are completely different. He is one of the very few Lithuanian composers (along with Juzeliūnas) who have developed their own unique and precise system of music composition. The composer named his technique 'dodecatonic', it can be defined as the formation and elaboration of new tonal connections in the strict serial structures. The composer uses different tone-rows invented by himself, from 1-tone 'monotonic' up to 12-tone "dodecatonic", along with strictly calculated rhythm progressions. Nevertheless, Balakauskas is always able to infuse a certain recognizable stylistic flavour into his mathematically built constructions - paradoxically, they could sound as similar to neo-romantic or impressionist music, as to jazz. The large creative output of Balakauskas is dominated by instrumental music - symphonies, concertos, works for orchestra or different chamber ensembles. The synergy of intellect and elegance is what distinguishes Balakauskas' work.
Most of the music by the Lithuanian-Jewish composer Anatolijus Šenderovas (b.1945) is characterized by moderate modern idiom. The composer uses serial techniques, as well as elements of aleatoric composition and stylistic interplay; he favours vivid timbral and dynamic contrasts. In some pieces, emotional expression, colour and effect of the sound are particularly emphasized. Since 1990, Šenderovas' style gets transformed because of a deepened author's insight into musical and cultural heritage of his nation. His compositions written in the 90-ies, often include and draw inspiration from the texts and stories from the Old Testament, while the melodies resemble both the ancient Jewish music and the traditional chants of Lithuanian Jews.
Bronius Kutavičius and Osvaldas Balakauskas, they are the two composers who have had the greatest influence on the generations of composers who appeared after them. Their works represent two distinctly different stylistic trends according to which the different generations of the younger composers can be distinguished one from another.
Outstanding in the first group which appears in late 70's (the so-called 'new romantics') are Onutė Narbutaitė, Algirdas Martinaitis, Vidmantas Bartulis, and Mindaugas Urbaitis. The essential characteristics of their work are the rather 'literary' neo-romantic ideas, a lyrical chamber minimalism manifested through archaic folk music patterns, euphony, melodic and rhythmic simplicity. The resultant nostalgic and introspective mood points to the influence of Kutavičius.
A great part of the early works of Algirdas Martinaitis (b.1950) develops into the cycle "The Book of Living Nature". From this group of chamber compositions (which includes such titles as "Music of the Last Gardens", "Birds of Eden", "Clavier of the Life Giving Water"), the chamber cantata "Cantus ad futurum" has become emblematic of the whole generation of composers. "The Book of the Beginning and the End", Martinaitis' next cycle of chamber works, is quite different - it is like huge apocalyptic, eschatological panorama, depicting the dramatic efforts of an individual to survive and to keep the faith in the surroundings of total evil, suffering and absurdity. Yet another trend in Martinaitis' music is represented by the group of more conventional sacred choral compositions in the vein of Arvo Pärt or John Tavener.
Mindaugas Urbaitis (b.1952) once was the most radical minimalist in Lithuania, scandalizing the local audience with prolonged compositions built from endless repetitions of seemingly unchanging material (such as hour-long Trio for three melodic instruments) - which attests the direct influence of early American minimalism. The works by Urbaitis of this period, characterized by particular rationalism, integrity and purity, could be compared to ornamental patterns or geometric abstractions. Starting from the late 80's, his idiom becomes less ascetic, as he started to construct his compositions around the clearly recognizable fragments of music by composers from the past (such as Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Bruckner, Wagner, Piazzolla). The composer himself uses the terms "re-composition", or "recycling", to describe his present composition method.
In his creative career, Vidmantas Bartulis (b.1954) has traversed many fields, maneuvring between intimate chamber compositions and huge happening-type projects, academic and popular culture, sacred music and the theatre of the absurd. Musicians in bizarre masks, surrealist sceneries, bitter smells in the hall, threatening avalanches of electronic sounds, radio noises, banging of microphones, fireworks, circus numbers, repetitions of funeral rites - this is what one can see and hear in his compositions of 'instrumental theatre'. Sometimes the composer himself goes onstage and performs one of the central roles, as in his chamber opera "The Lesson" (after a play of Ionesco), where he theatrically conducts singing actors along with his strange virtual orchestra.
Onutė Narbutaitė
nuotr. Algimanto Aleksandravičiaus
The music of Onutė Narbutaitė (b.1956) is marked by wide range of subtle nuances and refined moderation. From the very beginning, the images of 'silence', 'memory', and 'oblivion' were obvious in Narbutaitė's music, also expressed in the titles of her early works. The 80's brought the formation of her musical idiom - linear in texture, unhurried in flow, and steeped in minor intonations. The composer manages to combine a variety of contradictions in her music - emotion and restraint, spontaneity and constructive logic, fragmentation and completion, the present and the past. In general, Narbutaitė's work could be described as intellectual lyricism with quite a few references to literature and visual art.
In the mid 80's, a younger generation (the so-called 'machinists') appeared. These composers rejected the romantic lyricism, rather spontaneous way of composing, and allusions to literature and nature which dominated their predecessors' work, and adopted the aesthetics of 'pure' music and 'pure' sound. Thus, their music is far more severe, and highly formalized - in some way, this attest the influence of Balakauskas to this group of composers. Their adherence to systematic approach of composing is manifested in diversity of forms, from the use of the old technique of motet, to the sctructural principles close to the early American minimalism. The persistent, minimalistic repetition of short patterns imparts mechanical, 'machinist' character, and edgy, sometimes even aggressive sound to their compositions. Particular attention is paid to enrichment of the sound colours by the use of electronics, non-typical groupings of instruments or other unusual ways of producing sound. Besides, the outward 'asceticism' in their music often does not hinder playfulness, grotesque and parody elements. These tendencies are most obvious in the work of Ričardas Kabelis, Rytis Mažulis, Nomeda Valančiūtė, Gintaras Sodeika, and Šarūnas Nakas.
Ričardas Kabelis (b.1957) is probably the most enigmatic figure in Lithuanian music. The striking austerity, characteristic of the major part of his compositions, seem to flow from the underlying formal procedures he employs such as meticulous reduction of musical material. Quite a few of his works are based on the exposition of a certain single isolated musical parameter (such as rhythm, harmony, or timbre), eliminating the others. Since the early 90's, he delves thoroughly into the subtleties of microtonal music and puzzles of its rhythmic arrangement. Hardly audible changes of timbre, microintervals and acoustic intensity in his compositions immerse the concentrated audience into an endless space/time continuum. Clearly off the mainstream of contemporary music, however, Kabelis' oeuvre is considered neither easibly performable nor listenable.
Rytis Mažulis' (b.1961) work is marked by a particular stylistic purity, integrity and symmetry of a musical texture based on a counterpoint techniques (mostly canons). The structural isomerism and homogeneity of his music is determined by the composer's attempts to discover the mathematical and physical relations between time, space and sound. According to this overall minimalist concept, the composer chooses instrumentations consisting from identical instruments or voices, and the range of expression in his work spreads from ethereal vocal compositions to monstrous hyper-canons for computer-piano. Like Kabelis, Mažulis is also concerned in the most subtle micro-interval divisions of pitch and the simultaneous pulsations of mathematically calculated different tempos. Somewhat more acceptable to the unprepared listeners, the music of Mažulis seamlessly absorbs them into its lengthy cyclical motion, almost unchanging in time and space.
The strictly calculated music of Nomeda Valančiūtė (b.1961) is, however, absolutely not technological in its nature - her compositions are all based on some not easily explained creative impulses which are later matured through methodical work with sound material and then given a precisely polished form. Valančiūtė's minimalist idiom is related to some degree to the medieval isorhythmic techniques. A closer look to the composer's works and their conceptual stimuli reveals a balance of internal opposites: open emotion - and its suppression via uncompromisingly rigid structures; a crystal clarity - and the conscious avoidance of 'beauty' (the use of sharp dissonances, intentional 'out of tune' sound of prepared piano, etc); the stance of a 'pure music' adept - and the multidimensional picturesqueness of her music, its oddly theatrical expression, and a certain 'bittersweet' glamour.
Gintaras Sodeika (b.1961) is best known for his music for theatre productions. At the beginning of his career, Sodeika's work was informed with unconventionality - happenings, site-specific works, sound installations, compositions of instrumental theatre. The concert trend of his music is also noted for certain theatricality and references to contemporary popular culture. The composer himself describes his works of recent years as 'academic techno' - a whimsical combination of traditional musical values with new technologies. Works of Sodeika often combine elements of minimalism and jazz, and are not void of bizarre humour and self-irony.
Šarūnas Nakas (b.1962) is one of the most radical contemporary Lithuanian composers. At times, his musical language approaches standards of hyper-complexity, delevoped in the modern Western music in recent decades. Nakas first caught attention of the local music community with his electro-acoustic compositions "Merz-machine" and "Vox-machine" in 1985. It is thanks to these works (which were a kind of homages to the German Merz-artist Kurt Schwitters), together with the "Twittermachine" by Rytis Mažulis, that Šarūnas Nakas and his contemporaries were labeled as 'the machinists' by the music critics. Many of Nakas' compositions exhibit huge sound masses, concentrated energy, and long-lasting tension. The composer pays special attention to the colour of the sound, using unconventional instrumentations, tunings, articulations, transforming sound electronically and adding digital programming.
Raminta Šerkšnytė, Vytautas V. Jurgutis, Ramūnas Motiekaitis, Marius Baranauskas, Justė Janulytė are among the most distinguished young Lithuanian composers of today. Raminta Šerkšnytė's (b.1975) oeuvre is dominated by neo-romantic idiom, occasionally enriched with some elements of minimalism and jazz. Many of her orchestral and chamber compositions tend to colourful soundscapes seemingly inspired by the elevated reflection of nature. Vytautas V. Jurgutis (b.1976) is at the moment the most advanced maker of electronic music in Lithuania. Having mastered some sophisticated techiques of sound programming, he often adds computer-controlled multimedia shows to the performances of his electronic works.

If defending the morality of our politics, which has seriously been harmed by Rice, Cheney and cohorts, is radical anti-Americanism as Milan Miller sees it, what would be patriotic?

Anna Nicole drug conspiracy case goes to jury
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Anna Nicole Smith drug conspiracy case, charging her lawyer-boyfriend and two doctors with providing the former Playboy model with excessive amounts of drugs, was placed in the hands of a jury Friday.
After nine weeks of testimony and arguments, the last word to jurors came from a prosecutor who implored them to convict the defendants on all counts. Earlier in the day, they heard from a defense lawyer who said the three defendants had not broken the law.
Deputy District Attorney Renee Rose clashed with the judge during her rebuttal argument when he said she was misleading the jury about some of the evidence. He threatened at one point to let the defense have another chance at argument if the behavior continued.
"My concern is I have a prosecutor who is misrepresenting what was said," Superior Court Judge Robert Perry said.
Rose apologized and said she never meant to misstate anything. Perry told the jury to disregard a section of her argument that may have contained false implications.
In the balance of her argument, Rose claimed the defendants were drawn into Smith's world of celebrity and broke the law in treating her.
"In the real world, your doctor doesn't fly to you in the Bahamas if you're sick and then fly back." Rose said. "It happens in Anna Nicole Smith's world."
Attorney Steve Sadow, who represents defendant Howard K. Stern,argued that Stern trusted the two doctors on trial with him to ease the suffering of the woman he loved.
Sadow stressed that he was speaking for Stern. But in denying his client was part of a conspiracy, Sadow advocated for all three defendants. Their lawyers spoke earlier.
Sadow said the doctors acted in good faith prescribing medications for Smith's physical and emotional pain after the birth of her daughter and death of her son. Stern was not qualified to second guess their medical judgment, Sadow said.
Jurors were told to select a foreperson then sent home until Tuesday when they will begin deliberations. Monday is a court holiday.

Why grand cannon cannot kill a tesla trooper in one shot. Why centurion cannot kill a conscript in one shot.Not reasonable. Kind of this feeling when playing. But anyway great mod.

So moronic to a degree that it seems like a brilliant game! LMAO. What else can I say about it? If you lick the car and follow it across the map you map fly out of the atmosphere.
PS. I got dizzy and felt like throwing up while playing. But it is just me.

well, buildings from different mods, or edited original ones, some don't even have shadow, looks of really poor quality. Units the same. Style is really important man.

First to say,this mod is of very poor quality.
Very pointless use of TS units in RA2 world and give them other names. Typical for chinese crap mods to change Cuba to China that has a shitload of mixed buildings and units from other sides. Changes to the game is almost none.The so-called balancing is simple: the ripper author changed nothing of the original game and he call the few units added "balancing".
