Disney's Beauty and the Beast is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped in a spell placed by an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Both the Federal and Remington 220-grain subsonic loads use the same OTM bullet, which is popular for this cartridge. The Federal load I tested was an engineering sample, but it is now available in the American Eagle line. Compared with the other loads tested, the Federal offering was reasonably accurate but only cycled the action about 60 percent of the time. The Remington load was more reliable. These bullets did not expand in the gel and penetrated 24 inches on a straight track.

I have tons of friends on there, and I see how many of them are pregnant. Just saw another update about yet another baby on the way. I wish I wasn't so selfish and could be happy for them rather than jealous, but I am soooo ready for baby #2!
Let's see here..... One friend had a baby 6 months ago, three more friends had babies 3 months ago, one friend had a baby 1 month ago, two friends are due the end of this month, another friend due beginning of sept, cousin due later in sept, 5 facebook friends just found out they are expecting within the last couple months, and one friend suspects she had an oopsie and could be pregnant while on BC. To top that off, I added some girls from BBC Dec 08 group to Facebook and ALL OF THEM ARE PREGNANT.... All 4!!
SERIOUSLY?!? That is 19 people and 19 babies!
Not to mention everyone is pushing me to have another baby soon.... HELLO, I am TRYING! But few know we are trying, so I just say, well, we will see...
And DH and I were hit and miss with BDing the right times this cycle, so not sure. I am so angry with him because he wants to just have sex whenever and I want to actually have sex when I am fertile, as well as those times. He says he doesn't want it all planned, but this is our 6th month and I am ready to start being more proactive. Plus, every O time he is sick or tired or whatever and it totally pisses me off!
I am happy I am not pregnant already considering I had a bad spill the other day and probably bruised several ribs or worse. It could have been bad if I was pregnant. I also wouldn't be here with all you lovely ladies. But... I am soooo ready for another addition and I PRAY God blesses us again this month.
I am so sad and so tired... I am ready to start another journey, the pregnancy journey.

Software Engineering, Project Management, and Effectiveness
As I've been teaching Getting Results the Agile Way to more people and teams, I've had to simplify the mental model. Here is the simplest visual that I like to whiteboard to show the main idea:
It's all about having a simple system for flowing value each day, and each week. I've focused more on the story-driven approach, because I find that this helps people connect more deeply with what they do. Instead of focusing on "doing tasks" or just "getting stuff done", they focus on meaningful impact and meaning results. It's also about living your values. Or, to put it another way, doing what makes you strong, all day long.
A Story-Driven Approach to Great Results Using simple and sticky "one-liner stories" each day, and each week, helps you turn tasks into results:
The more you turn your tasks into compelling outcomes, and the more you connect your outcomes to your values, the more you will ignite yourself and others on fire as you blaze your trail forward. The key here is connecting to your values. In the simple examples above, winning a raving fan is all about connecting with customers, slam dunking your bugs is about making it a game while testing your skills, and inspiring your team to go for the epic win is all about making it an adventure. If customers, growth, and impact are high on your values, those results take on new meaning and jazz you vs. drain you.
Anyway, I've created a simple one-page guide to answer the question, What is Agile Results.

The Dayside : Sixteen startups
Named for the year when the US got its start as an independent enterprise, 1776 is what is known as an accelerator. Like the more famous Y Combinator of Mountain View, California, such organizations prepare startups for their independence by offering them advice, financial capital, business contacts, and office space.
Located in Washington, DC, 1776 is not just about commerce. The startups under its wing fall into broad categories of education, health, energy, smart cities, and government and politics.
I got a sense of what kinds of startups are sprouting in the energy sector when I spent this past Tuesday afternoon at a semifinal session of the Challenge Cup. Organized by 1776 as part of its weeklong Challenge Festival, the Challenge Cup brings 64 startups—half from the US; half from the rest of the world—to compete for a total of $650 000 in prize money.
The session was called a semifinal because the competing startups had already won a previous round held in one of 16 cities—among them, Denver, Colorado; Cape Town, South Africa; Tel Aviv; Israel; Mumbai, India; and São Paolo, Brazil. A single representative from each startup had three strictly timed minutes to make a slide-assisted pitch. The judges, including 1776 cofounders Evan Burfield and Donna Harris, had three strictly timed minutes to ask questions.
Expecting apps
Because I like surprises, I didn't consult the lineup of 16 energy semifinalists before the pitches began. I was indeed surprised. The first pitch was not about a cellphone app, which is what I was expecting, but about a company that applies electrocoagulation to clean wastewater. Based in Longmont, Colorado, Avivid Water Technology makes reactors that remove all but 1% of contaminants such as arsenic, benzene, and coal dust. Among its potential customers are uranium mines and oil companies that practice fracking.
In fact, only five of the 16 semifinalists create products that are wholly digital. The rest made up an interesting mixture. Longman Suntech Energy of Mumbai sells solar panels that its urban customers can put on their roofs and connect directly to their appliances. That way, said cofounder and pitchman Sujith Thannikkatt, Longman Suntech avoids connecting to "the world's worst electrical distribution system" and having to comply with utility regulations.
The largest products of any of the semifinalists are the wind turbines designed and built by Winflex, which is based in Moran, Israel. As the company's CEO Eliezer Kliatzkin explained, its wind turbines are significantly lighter than conventional turbines thanks to their inflatable circular braces.

For me at least, the most interesting pitch from a physics point of view was Todd Davidson's. The company he leads, nCarbon, is a spinoff from the University of Texas at Austin. Its product is a porous, three-dimensional material based on graphene. When used as an electrode, it boosts the energy density of a supercapcitor by a factor of two.
Not being especially business-minded, I was interested by the judges' questions. As you might expect, they asked about margins, markets, and competitors. But they also asked about technological aspects. Davidson, for example, was questioned about nCarbon's seemingly modest factor-of-two improvement. "In the energy storage business, a factor of two is a huge deal," was his reply.
The judges had to pick two winners—one from the US; the other from abroad—that would go on to compete in the final against startups in three other sectors: education, health, and smart cities.
The US victor was Water Lens, whose portable chemical analysis kits enable oil companies to analyze the composition of the water that comes out of fracking wells. Although I can't be sure, I'm guessing the judges liked the fact that Water Lens's analyzers spare companies from having to send their samples out to labs for analysis and wait for the results. According to CEO Keith Cole, reducing that delay could save companies tens of thousands of dollars.
The non-US victor was PlugSurfing. Based in Berlin, Germany, the company makes a cellphone app that enables the drivers of electric vehicles to find charging stations and pay to use them. Cofounder Adam Woolway explained why such an app was needed. Although charging stations are relatively plentiful in Germany, they are operated by hundreds of different companies. According to Woolway, those companies are willing to give PlugSurfing a small cut of their transaction fees with the expectation that they'll get more business thanks to the app.
The word "physics" was uttered just once during the semifinals. Alex Smith, cofounder and chief product officer of myPower, pitched his company's smartphone chargers, which attach to people's belts and harvest the kinetic energy they generate when they exercise. Asked whether he could pack more energy into the charger's lithium ion batteries, he replied "unfortunately, we're limited by physics."

"Colours Cafe Patisserie": Trendy Café Patisserie –Offering Sweet Sensations!
With the latest renovations the Colours Café has been turned into a casual and very trendy spot. I was here during renovations on my last trip and now that I am visiting it again it has a completely fresh look and style. It is a popular meeting spot for locals and the perfect place to relax and enjoy an outing with friends or family, although the majority of customers I came across were young.
The culinary skills of the head pastry Chef Hadjiyiannis offer sweet sensations.
For the ones with a sweet tooth desserts are heavenly. There is a new long list of amazing flavours of ice cream, pies, pralines, mousses and all kinds of other sweet temptations. Portions are huge and they are fairly priced.
Staff –very helpful.
Dress Code: Casual - trendy!
- Food and Dining
- Desert
The Nagshead Pub: Popular Bar.
This is a very popular bar oposite the Atlantica Oasis Hotel.
Most nights there is karaoke and they also do meals a well. The price of the drinks more or less same as the other bars in the area.
Dress Code: Casual
Limassol strip of Potamos Yermasoyias: Bars & Clubs
This resort strip is defined by its main drag Yeoryiou tou Protou, has the expected complement of foreign orientated bars and clubs, most of which close down on the off-season. Town centres venues tend to have much greater patronage from locals, and stay open all year. There's a scattering of gay or at least gay-frienndly clubs among them.,.
Cafe Brio: Coffee Delights
Cypriots are connoisseurs of great coffee. They drink it often and in many different ways from many a different local coffee shops. In Limassol alone there are three Starbucks coffee shops, there are cities in America with less than that. In Limassol there is a particular restaurant that also serves a great coffee, named Cafe Brio. The restaurant is located in the back corner of the Hallmark Complex, Georgiou A Street, 4047, Limassol, Cyprus. They have a art deco style upscale decor with a great cuisine. I have only enjoyed the after dinner desserts and the best coffee that I have ever tasted. There desserts are exquiste ranging from Tiramasu to Chocolate Souffle as well as others. The coffee is also out of this world good. I usually get a Cappucino or a cold Frappe, that are succulent to my taste buds. The propertiers are both professional and friendly especially the lovely Persian hostess whose beauty is beyond compare in my humble adoration. If you want an exceptional after dinner coffee along with a scrumptious dessert, I recommend that you bypass the normal Starbucks and head over to the small corner of coffee paradise named Cafe Brio.
Dress Code: Casual Wear, Moderate Dress
- Food and Dining
Haagan Daas: ice delight
Cypriots like to go out at night and drink coffee and smoke. Not everyone smokes, but on average, they smoke a lot. They also like their sweets.
Haagan Daas is open late until 01.00 on week nights and Sundays, and until 02.00 on Fridays and Saturdays. It has a nice laid back atmosphere and it is open to the street. I see this as a disadvantage due to the noise, but Cypriots like to see who is cruising up and down the seafront while they are drinking their coffee, smoking cigarettes and gossiping.
Haagan Daas does mainly ice creams and other sweet desserts, however they also have some snacks, too. The main attraction for many are the specialty coffees. They are not cheap, but within the reasonable range by Cyprus standards. Expect to pay about CYP 2.00-2.50 ($4.5-5.50) for one of their deluxe coffees.
Desserts start at this price as well and then go up from there in direct correlation with their calorie content. Do you really need them during beach season? ; - )
Dress Code: open from 10.00 until 01.00 weekdays and Sundays.
open from 10.00 until 02.00 on Fridays and Saturdays

FloCafé: coffee culture
Cypriots love their coffees, especially their frappuccinos and ice coffees during the summer.
Whereas you will find the tourists in the bars during the summer, you will find the Cypriots in any number of the siewalk cafés at the foot of Makarios avenue and the sea front or in one of the coffee bars such as the FloCafé, Haagan Daas or Starbucks.
Prices for specialty coffees and drinks are a little steep. Expect to pay CYP 2.50 ($5.63) for a cappuccino of other deluxe coffee drink. However, your coffee is also served with a glass of water, so you can sip on it for quite a while and enjoy the ambience.
Dress Code: It makes a nice alternative to going to a bar or drinking anything alcolholic. Most of these coffee bars also serve food, but they remain a place to sip coffee, and to see and be seen. In some of the trendier coffee shops, don't expect the waitstaff to be overly friendly. That is also part of the atmosphere. The waitstaff have to be cool, too.

Rumours, Galetex, Basement then Triangle: Full on night out
Thats the order you got to travel in!! to have a gud night, go out at about 12 at night when it starts 2 get busy! avoid the first few bars in the Galatex as its full of cypriots who dont like tourists but woodys and absolet r wkd!! bangin! rumours has a great mc and a great guy on the door!! i was workin in equinox for a couple of nights but try and avoid it! basement should be next as its not bad but not good for a whole night! then finally club of the area is triangle! great range of music and every1's up for a great time!!!!!!!!! Enjoy yourself!
Dress Code: Everynoght i went out different, sum nights i wore shorts and t-shirt, then a shirt, tie and jeans and casual t-shirt with jeans, anythin goes as theres nobody on the doors!!!
- Music
- Singles
- Beer Tasting
the basement club: Cheers!
Basement is located in the heart of Potamos Yermasoiyas and it's the must when spending a sparkling night in Limassol!It's good to keep in mind that the locals don't hit the clubs before the late hours(about2am). Music: 2step garage,chart music and house. Sometimes some of the world's best known djs throw a gig at basement(like Mauro Picotto in June 2003).We love the atmosphere in the club.Drinks were superb(about 3cyp+shot..depends who is ordering and who is mixing the drinks!) and the staff was soooo nice(they really got to know us after the nights we have spent in Limassol!)
Dress Code: Smart,funky clubwear :D
Dress Code: DRESS CODE IS JUST USUAL CLUBBIN DRESS NOT TOO SMART NOT TOO CASUAL EITHER !
Starsky and Hutch: Starsky and Hutch
in complete 60'and 70'style and music, especially the huge bed in the discoteque will atract you. Nice place to really shake it
Dress Code: the best is to come dressed in a sixties or seventies outfit, if you don't have such clothes, they sell wigs and sunglasses amongst other funny gadgets. Whatever you are wearing will do, you're there to have fun, remember!
Limassol old town: Limassol old town
The old town of Limassol is often missed my most visitors, who usually stay in the Tourist Area of Galatex. The area around the castle is really old and contains lots of cool bars and coffee shops where many Cypriots hang out.
The architecture is typical Mediterranean, with the narrow, windy streets and stucco houses. Just be careful, becuase the drivers do tend to speed and with the narrow roads, it may be a bit hazardous if you've had one too many ouzos.
Dress Code: The Cypriots like to dress in black - both the guys and girls. But you don't have to get too fancey, as this is a laid back place.
This is the city/place to make...
This is the city/place to make really good friends on the spot and easily. Thank you all, dear, I had a great time with you!!!
Almost all the bars and discos have names of the famous London ones, a hint for you - since you've found Hippodrome disco, you're in the center of Limassol nightlife!

Argh! D0 Is A Nightmare!
Posted 03 December 2003 - 03:11 AM
I think I've finally got it though... sorta
The green LED on the chip will blink on and off a few times, then stay off.
The front eject button colors keep flashing red and yellow.
Why!!! Any thoughts?

if your getting the cromwell screen your know you got it (if the chip was pre-flashed)

I know it should stay lit, because I've gotten it a couple of times. (If only it would do it multiple times in a row )

Alright. I whiped out my soldering iron and connected to to back d0. Guess what... I still have the exact same problem, and I know the connection it good. Possibilities?

| For all of the points? Not just d0? (Any limit on how long the wires can be? I'd like to leave myself room to move if possible)
lol. Why did I buy a solderless chip?
Yes, all of the points. Your chip should have come with a header of multicolored cables.
I don't know why you bought a pogo pin solution... Most of the veterans around here advise ppl to either solder or LPC Pin block.
Posted 03 December 2003 - 06:55 PM
Would it be okay to use my own 22 gauge wire to solder onto each of the lpc points?
Also, not that I'm questioning you, but on my X2.2L+ both blue LEDs are lit. That indicates that the lpc points are connected, dosen't it? If so, why do I need to solder down all the points?
(I don't know why I got this chip either.)
Posted 03 December 2003 - 07:04 PM
Posted 04 December 2003 - 01:33 AM
I soldered every point. Every last point. I did it perfectly.
My xbox is still flashing red and yellow, and the green LED (LED4) is still not staying on.
Am I correct in assuming something's up with my motherboard? Somewhere around the LPC points possibly?
I went out and bought a voltage meter today, fearing that I may have to use one. Assuming that this is my next course of action, do you know of any guides on what the voltages should be?

Narrow your search
When wandering the streets desultorily shooting moody photos, Olympus wants the PEN-F to be your camera.
As the name implies, here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board.
A competitor for the Sony QX1, Olympus' lens-style camera is designed to be customized.
The SH-2 features a 25-600mm lens backed by five-axis image stabilization and a full set of shooting options to keep your low-light photos and movies bright and clear.
With its improved waterproofing and flip-up display, the rugged TG-860 makes capturing self-portraits anywhere a little easier.
The M.Zuiko 300mm f4 IS Pro is an excellent pro supertelephoto lens for the Micro Four Thirds mount.
A likeable interchangeable-lens model, the Olympus PEN E-PL7's overall package makes an attractive alternative to an advanced compact and has quite a bit to offer as a first ILC.
Attractive and compact, with a broad feature set, solid kids-and-vacation performance and nice photos, the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II is a good choice for photographers on a budget who like to fiddle.
Though it doesn't change much from the TG-3, the TG-4 should remain the rugged camera choice for enthusiasts, while the Stylus 1s brings a couple design tweaks and feature updates.
The Olympus Stylus SP-100 is a problem-solver camera, giving zoom fiends a simple -- and clever -- way to keep athletes, wildlife, and other targets in your sights.
Though it doesn't deliver the best photo quality, the sum of the Olympus OM-D E-M10's design, performance and features add up to a nice upgrade from a point-and-shoot.

Hello all,
I believe I've detected a bug in Prex 0.9.0 bootloader.
Indeed, in the load_elf() function in bsp/boot/common/elf.c, at line #75, there is the following assignment:
load_base = (vaddr_t)ptokv(phdr->p_paddr);
This seems to be wrong and should be:
load_base = (paddr_t)kvtop(phdr->p_vaddr);
This is a nasty bug as it remains silent if you stick to the default config where offset to the kernel area start address (0x80000000) from ram base (0x00000000) equals 0x80000000.
Indeed, phdr->p_paddr and phdr->p_vaddr both holds the same value as CONFIG_KERNEL_TEXT while the kernel is loaded and, in MMU-enabled default config, this value is > 0x80000000. But adding 0x80000000 (this is what ptokv() does) or substrating 0x80000000 (this is what kvtop() does) to such address actually gives the exact same result since we are here dealing with 32-bits wide unsigned longs! Now, if for any reason, offset to kernel start address from ram base does no equal 0x80000000, the bug comes out.
Hopefully, fixing this issue will help me finalize the beagleboard MMU-enabled version of Prex I'm currently working on...

The Tropic of NORWICH; (1) CHILDHOOD DREAM: Will, Left, Has Planted Big-Leafed Plants and Spectacular Cacti, Right (2) HIGH POINT: The Steep Site, with Its Treehouse, Creates a Microclimate Where Tropical Species Flourish and Will's Cats Can Roam, Top Left
Byline: MARYTN COX
Gaze down from the timber veranda that runs round Will Giles'scolonial-style homestead and you are in a tropical land. Before you is a jungleof brightly coloured bromeliads, palms, Swiss cheese and towering bananaplants.
But this exotic paradise is not in Hawaii, Indonesia or Singapore, or even amild coastal region of the UK that is warmed by the Gulf Stream - it's in thecentre of Norwich, a stone's throw from Carrow Road football stadium and theold Colman's Mustard factory.
'When people come for the first time, their jaw just hits the ground. It'swonderful to witness,' laughs Will, 57, who has spent the past 25 yearscreating this amazing space.
The half-acre garden, which is open to the public, occupies a steeply slopingsite that basks in the sun and is surrounded by tall trees. This produces asheltered microclimate that makes it possible to grow many showy exotics toperfection, including masses of canna lilies, Angels' Trumpets andspicy-scented gingers.
Most of the plants are left in the ground all year round, but Will enhances thespectacle by 'bedding out' more tender plants temporarily in the summer andreturning them to the greenhouse in the autumn.
The garden is now breathtaking, but the plot he bought from a spinster in 1982looked unpromising. It had a 60ft drop from top to bottom and was incrediblywild, consisting mainly of self-sown sycamores and tall weeds.
'I fell in love with the place straight away. I knew it would be perfect for mydream garden,' says Will, whose passion for exotic plants stems f r o mchildhood. 'My grandmother took me to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and Iloved all the bigleafed, tropical plants in the glasshouses. I decided I'd tryto achieve the same look here, but by using plants outside.' Will divides histime between looking after the garden, leading garden tours to far-flung placesand writing books. He is the author of The New Exotic Garden and the recentlypublished Encyclopedia Of Exotic Plants For Temperate Climates, which hasdetails of more than 1,500 plants that can be grown outside.
A network of narrow gravel paths, steps and terraces tame the hilly garidea itto look Will, who Eappen is filled on little cacti and aeoniums, and an padsYou den. At the highest point, at the very back, is Will's latest feature - anItalianate loggia and a mock- Gothic ruin. 'I've always wanted a folly and havedesigned it to look like a bit of a wreck,' says Will, who shares his gardenwith cats Lawrence, Dog, Havana, Genghis, Eappen and Fink.
Immediately in front is his xerophytic garden. This large, raised bed is filledwith plants that will thrive on little or no water, including many cacti andsucculents. It has several aeoniums, agaves, aloes, money trees and an opuntiacactus, which has oval pads studded with golden bristles.
You might think these plants need to be taken indoors over winter but Willleaves them out all year.
'Cold temperatures aren't a problem - their greatest enemy is winter rain,' hesays. 'I've added lots of gravel to the soil to make it extremely free drainingand to prevent plants rotting in winter. I put some metal poles in the bed anddrape a sheet of polythene over the top to keep them dry.' A key feature of thegarden is a towering treehouse Will built in the open boughs of a majestic oak.
Reached by a long ladder, it is the ultimate relaxation space, with rugs andcomfy cushions. It even has an upper floor with a bed. 'This is a great placeto chill out. I come up here to collapse after a busy day,' he says.
From the treehouse there are amazing views over several groves of imposingbananas, tree ferns, clumps of huge leaved coco-yams and a curved Victorianpergola dripping with hops, kiwi fruit, evergreen Clematis armandii andaristolochia. …

Twilight Sparkle!
Nice anthro module of Twilight, but I think she's missing something...
I like it, but the uniform seems a little- off, to me.
I keep thinking it should be a hue of violet or maybe a dark tint of magenta…
Everything else seems to fit, though.
Where is right ear? o_o
Very nice adaption of...uh... that pony person. You'll have to forgive me, I don't watch the show. But still, awesome style!

USA Citizenship followed by....................
"Now he'll aim higher" what, you mean God?
"Now he'll aim higher"...probably means the Vatican job
"The world hasn't heard the last of him yet " .
Well, well , he will be a frequent guest on the Graham Norton show .
Well, there's always the dock at the Hague....
But seriously, such naivete, Iain Martin: can you really still believe the puff? Blair's is an empty charlatan, always has been - a 'Catch Me if You Can' fairground snake oil merchant, who caught the late 90s zeitgeist in Britain and won a famous election victory.
But he hadn't a clue what to do with it, and didn't care - except to tend and burnish his popularity.. Hence the posing and the posturing, the lying and the spinning. And finally the warmongering - dressing up as Churchill to Bush's Roosevelt, which has has left 100s of thousands dead and others dying....
Politically, Blair is finished; this was the come back concert that didn't happen. He'll turn up as a talk show host one of these years, no doubt, but meanwhile glasses raised!
Perhaps he could finagle an appointment as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
Tony Blair is a joke.
The only person who actually thought he had a serious chance of winning the EU Presidency was Tony Blair himself. The opposition against his candidacy was immense. And as for him aiming higher then the EU Presidency, he should dream on. People do not have short memories and his role in the Iraq War will never be forgotten and will always be held against him.
Iain, You forget that positions of [meaningful] power usually involve some sort of voting process. It is this aspect that will ensure that political power remains elusive to Tony. Europe needs a consensus builder, not a power-hungry, self-serving bulldog.
Perhaps Blair will return as the General Secretary of the UN.
What can he aim for 'The Second Son of God.' Even that wouldn't be good enough for him. If he had any sense, he would disappear into the quiet twilight of his life and hope we forget and forgive him.
The Pope made a similar mistake, so even God, has fallen short in the eyes of TB.
"Perhaps he could finagle an appointment as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster"
That was superb - top marks.
I think he could argue that the House of Windsor is truly discredited and become the first Catholic monarch in 500 years
"The world hasn't heard the last of him yet.
I would like to see him in the dock in a treason trial.
"Robustly healthy" - really? Just so long as he doesn't overdo the caffeine intake again then.
The Pope?
Blair knew as he resigned Prime Minister he would never see anything like that position again. His voice broke as he made his resignation speech. He was like someone who knew life had given him more than he had ever dared to expect. He knows he's a chancer who lied big and got away with it, for a while.
The reality is that he has no real substance.
He knows it.
The trouble is, that now, so do we.
Aim higher? What? Sovereign, POTUS, Pope, Head of the C of E, Gen' Sec' of the Commonwealth (which he did much to sideline and trash), Head of the World Bank, IMF or UN? Messiah? Head of his own Moonie / Scientology type cult?
Can't see any of the above happening. 'cept for maybe the later cultish options. He may be able to have another crack at EU Prez in 5 - 10 years time, however... Provided he does a decent job as envoy for the quartet, which is highly highly unlikely.
Iain Martin is Deputy Editor of the Wall Street Journal Europe. He writes on politics.

qwertyzzz18, Are you still working on this project. I am interested in this project If so are you sharing your results some place other than Thingiverse ?
Your youtube video is set to private. Can you change it to public (anyone can see it) or unlisted (you need a link to see it) please?
Sorry for the lack of updates. I lost most of the source files to a crash, but I am almost done reconstructing them from the stl files.
Also, if anyone is curious, this was made in Sketchup and Blender.
Sorry for not updating it for a while, but I am stumped on how to make the carry mechanism. Any ideas would be welcome. I looked at the carry mechanism on the original design, but it would be too weak if it was made out of plastic.
Also, has anyone printed it? I need to know if the gears are large enough to mesh reliably.
If not, i will need to split some of the pieces.
hey, I'd love to help build this thing! The gears printed at the default scale mesh up just fine. A little perplexed on exactly how it all goes together. Could you share some more info on assembly?
Also, do you have access to a printer? If not then I could print you a set of parts and send em your way if you want :-D
Sent message to you with address to send parts to.
An additional piece will be designed to align all gears. Lego Technic axles will also be used.
The way it needs to work is:
The ridges on the figure wheel will 'trip' the carry mechanism, and put it in a 'set' state.
When triggered, it will advance the figure wheel above one place, and return to a 'reset' state.
Any help would be appreciated.
THis is sooooo cool. I always wanted a 'complete' analytical engine maybe this is the way - 21st century manufacturing of 18th century design.
Wonderful! How many parts to go?
It looks like someone read my mind. This can easily become the coolest thing on earth to be 3d printed.
I can't wait for this to be completed, might need to order more ABS though...
Robinson's Difference Engine
Do you realize that posting the parts separately makes it a huge pain. Clicking on the parts list does not take you to the other "things" that you have made as parts. WilliamAAdams tried that with his polybot and it was such a pain that Renosis re-posted it all in one here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7554http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...
Although if Thingiverse worked that way it would be sweet.
Sorry. Can I use the part list and upload everything on the main project?
Yes you can do it that way, it does make thingiverse a little cluttered but at least everyone knows when you have a new piece ready for printing.

Pulse: Stories (original 2011; edition 2011)
by Julian Barnes
Work details
Pulse by Julian Barnes (2011)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The overall theme of this collection of short stories is the personal relationships between couples, whether married or unmarried. The quality of the stories is variable, with the least successful and interesting being four interlinked tales featuring gatherings of friends at Phil and Joanna's house. However the others illustrate the sometimes unsettling realisation that partial knowledge and misunderstandings can lead to the ending of love and friendship. But not all partnerships end unhappily and one of the secrets of successful compatibility would appear to be the sharing of small pleasures in life.
Barnes, you bastard. I'm sure you did it on purpose. You spent more than half your book with stories that were... well... nicely written but... lacking something? Uninteresting? Something like that. I was seriously considering stopping reading and starting some other book (something I almost never do, so I just kept going).
...and then you did that thing. You finished the first part of the book with a beautiful story, made even better by contrast with the previous. Not only that, but you included the five stories of part II. And that is where you finally laughed at me, at us, for doubting you. You sir, are a bastard, but a really talented one. I loved those stories, much more than I didn't the first ones.
Four stars. On to the next one now.
A very good writer, but I didn't enjoy these stories.
I wouldn't give five starts for the entire book, but the "At Phil & Joanna's 1.. 2.. 3.. and 4" (chapters of numbered gatherings of six friends at Phil & Joanna's house) I enjoyed tremendously.
Pulse is a sublime collection of short stories by Julian Barnes. In 14 stories Barnes explores the theme of what makes a good marriage, in particular focussing on the role of communication in relationships. It is sometimes said that great artistry is borne out of misery, and that a happy marriage is often improductive, at least to some authors. Barnes collection Pulse seems some proof towards that statement. While Barnes openly mourned his wife, who died in 2008, in Levels of Life, Pulse published in 2011 is a superb collection of tales looking at various aspects of perfect and failed marriages.
Various stories in the collection explore the role of communication in relationships: what is said, and what isn't; what cannot be talked about, or a free flow of banter. The four stories centred on Phil and Joanna are about such a flow of easy-going, witty but not overly serious conversation. In "East Wind" the lover's prying into privacy and (unspoken) acknowledgement of what the woman tried to conceal breaks up the relation, while in "Trespass" the man treats his new girlfriend as a pure substitute for his ex, falling into the same behavioural patterns, and failing to see why she does not want to marry him. His need to make that explicit is just why.
Several of the stories deal with rutted-in behavioural patterns, including, for instance, 'dirty talk' in the title story, "Pulse" which is the last story in the collection.
Most stories are characterized by a sublime subtlety, surpassing Barnes previous work. As the theme of the stories is language, likewise the reader must be fine-tuned to listen and spot Barnes' subtle wit, as some irony is explicit and some implicit. Still, there are a number of hilarious moments, which may make you laugh out loud, as in the story Carcassonne".
The 14 stories in Pulse are divided into two sections, the division is not very clear, except that the first nine stories in Part One seem a bit closer to everyday life, while the five longer stories in Part 2 seem more serious. Conversation in fiction does not seem Barnes strongest point, nonetheless the conversations in the various stories, while perhaps not the most natural, serve their purpose. In prose, Julian Barnes seems best when the stories take on the hue of non-fiction, as do the stories in Part 2. These stories, with apparently fictionalized autobiographical elements, are most effective, and various are unforgettable.
Having read several works by Julian Barnes, it must be said that Pulse belongs to the toppers, on a par with Flaubert's Parrot.
Highly recommended.
The ghost of John Updike, that master delineator of couples and how they talk, haunts many of these stories. Barnes is both beneficiary and victim of Updike's own double-edged gift: a dazzling facility of phrase that sometimes feels like an end in itself...
"Carcassonne," the collection's standout, is a welcome reminder that Barnes can still weave together historical reconstruction, biographical acuity, personal essay and sheer oddball association with the verve he achieved in what remains his best book, the wondrous "Flaubert's Parrot."
Mr. Barnes's latest collection, "Pulse," is filled with both gems and should-have-been discards. The title story and "Marriage Lines" are beautiful, elegiac tales about how marriages endure or change over time: stories that attest to the new emotional depth Mr. Barnes discovered in his 2004 collection "The Lemon Table." Unfortunately, many other entries in this volume are brittle exercises in craft: a writer writing on automatic pilot, substituting verbal facility for genuine humor or real feeling, a scattering of social details for a persuasive sense of time and place.

|The patient's perspective about waiting for elective surgery is an important consideration in the management of waiting lists, yet it has received little attention to date. This study was undertaken to assess the acceptability of personal waiting times from the perspective of patients, and to examine waiting time and patient characteristics associated with the perception that a wait for cataract surgery is too long. The international prospective study was conducted in three sites with explicit waiting systems: Manitoba, Canada; Denmark; and Barcelona, Spain. Patients over the age of 50 years were recruited consecutively from ophthalmologists' practices at the time of their enlistment for first-eye cataract surgery. Anticipated waiting time, opinions about personal waiting time, and patients' visual and health characteristics were identified by means of telephone interviews. The 550 patients interviewed at the time of enlistment for surgery anticipated waits varying from < 1 to 24 months. Clinical visual acuity measures were obtained from patients' ophthalmologists/cataract surgeons. Results indicated that anticipated waiting time was the strongest predictor of patients' tolerance of waiting for cataract surgery. Patient dissatisfaction increased with the duration of the anticipated wait. Patients in all three sites were accepting of waits of three months or less, and considered waits exceeding six months to be excessive. Response to waits between three and six months varied across study sites. Patients with low tolerance for waiting had greater self-reported difficulty with vision, as assessed by a Cataract Symptom Score and expressed trouble with vision. Patients' acceptance of waiting was not associated with clinical visual acuity measures or socio-demographic characteristics. The patient perspective on acceptability of waiting times for cataract surgery suggests that restricting waiting times to less than six months and preferably less than three months and utilizing self-reported measures of visual difficulty in prioritizing patients may contribute to improved management of waiting systems. Patients are more tolerant of their personal waiting times than responses to questions about waiting for elective surgery in general would indicate, and appear to accept waiting times that are longer than those identified as reasonable by specialists.

Answer: You have a lucky daughter, either way.
In addition to balances and rates, the other variable you need to consider is whether the rates are fixed or adjustable. These days, many private student loans have fixed rates, but in the past most of this debt had variable rates. Variable rates mean higher costs and larger payments when interest rates rise.
If both loans have variable rates, or both are fixed, then paying off the highest rate debt first makes...

An Open Call: Send Us Your Favorite Comedy Routines About Race
During one of our morning editorial meetings here at Code Switch, we chuckled heartily at this bit from Dave Chappelle's ongoing comeback tour. In this recording, Chappelle was recalling a conversation with a mixed-race couple in the front row of a recent performance. The comedian wanted to know: Where are you from?*
"The wife was obviously Asian. The husband his [expletive] was more mysterious. Might have been Mexican, might have been from Bangladesh — could have gone a lot of different ways.
"And the wife said 'Listen, I'm from right here in the United States, OK? If you're asking my ethnicity, I'm Chinese.'
"Then the husband was like, 'I'm Mexican, bro.'
"And I said ... 'You guys are going to give birth to the hardest-working baby that's ever lived!' "
The old saw goes that writing about comedy is like dancing about architecture. But let's take a second to admire what Chappelle is doing here — he's pointing to a common question Asian-Americans get about their presumed foreign-ness (and the annoyed reaction prompted by that question) while still acknowledging the nagging curiosity people have about folks who look ethnically ambiguous.
Then Chappelle riffs on the premise some more and wonders aloud about how to make his punchline even funnier.
"Now, obviously that's a joke. The wife got really mad. Now listen, I respect Asian culture tremendously. As a matter of fact, I recently went to China for several weeks. ... I saw the Great Wall. If you're here [in the audience] and you're Chinese, all I can say is: Congratulations, it's a great wall. It's outstanding! It's huge! Largest man-made object on Earth. You have to see it to really wrap your mind around it, because I didn't even know the ancient Chinese even had Mexicans and things like this.
"Now ladies and gentlemen, you see what I did? I'm not saying for a second that Mexicans built the Great Wall of China — that would be a bad joke. What I am saying is that the ancient Chinese built the Great Wall to keep Mexicans out of China. Now that's a real joke! That's pretty [expletive] funny."
So much of the most incisive and subversive commentary about race continues to come from comedians, whether it's Louis C.K. acidly explaining how white privilege works with a hypothetical time machine (NSFW) or Hari Kondabalu taking issue with uninspired racism against Mexican-Americans. It's all the stuff we write about here.
We're trying to round up the best recent bits about race — sketches, videos, stand-up routines — especially from up-and-coming performers.

It's About Time is an American fantasy/science-fiction comedy TV series that aired on CBS for one season of 26 episodes in 1966–1967. The series was created by Sherwood Schwartz, and used sets, props and incidental music from Schwartz's other television series in production at the time, Gilligan's Island.
Two astronauts, Mac (Frank Aletter) and Hector (Jack Mullaney), travel faster than the speed of light, resulting in being sent back in time to prehistoric days. There, they have to adjust to living with a cave family led by Shad (Imogene Coca) and Gronk (Joe E. Ross). (Coca's character's name was originally pronounced "Shag" in the first episode, after which her character's name was pronounced "Shad" (evidenced in the re-run episodes on Antenna TV), though in the opening titles her billing still read "IMOGENE COCA as SHAG"; this changed in the episode "20th Century Here We Come" when new opening titles were created for the series' retooling (see below) and her billing was changed to read "IMOGENE COCA as SHAD". Their children were 18-year-old Mlor (Mary Grace, credited in the retooled closing titles as Mary Graham Grace) and 14-year-old Breer (Pat Cardi). The chief of the tribe, Boss (Cliff Norton) and his right-hand man Clon (Mike Mazurki) were always suspicious of the astronauts.
Ratings were impressive for the first few weeks on the air, but they soon plunged. Show creator Sherwood Schwartz came to the conclusion that three factors were the cause of the decline in audience interest:
- Repetition of the astronauts being in danger from dinosaurs, clubs, spears, volcanoes, and cavemen.
- An unattractive look to the show (e.g., caves, dirt streets, etc.)
- The cave dwellers speaking a primitive form of English that was difficult to listen to.[1]
For these reasons, after eighteen broadcast episodes set in prehistoric times, the series was retooled beginning with the January 22, 1967 episode. (A nineteenth 'prehistoric' episode had been completed, but it was not broadcast until after the end of the series' original run; this could possibly have been due to its originally scheduled broadcast being preempted for special programming, which happened occasionally to many TV shows, throwing their original broadcast order out of sync when the networks would broadcast the episode at the end of the season's first-run episodes rather than postponing the broadcast until the following week.) Essentially reversing the premise which had been followed the first half of the season, on the January 22 episode the astronauts repair their space capsule and return to 1967, with Shad, Gronk, and their children in tow. Boss and Clon make their final appearances in this episode, which also introduces two new supporting characters who would stay with the show going forward: Alan DeWitt as Mr. Tyler, manager of the apartment building where Mac and Hector live, and Frank Wilcox as General Morley, their commanding officer.
In the retooled version of the show (which had an updated theme song, explaining the new premise) the prehistoric family must begin adjusting to life in the 1960s, reacting to the unfamiliar surroundings, and setting up home in 20th-century New York City. For example, one episode had Gronk and Shad learning to write their names and signing them for many salesmen who brought "presents," which later had to be paid for. Mac and Hector also had to convince their disbelieving superior that they really did travel in time, and are not playing some sort of elaborate practical joke. Seven episodes were produced with this new premise before the series was cancelled at the end of the season.

- "The Stowaway" was originally scheduled to air on January 15, 1967, but was pre-empted after the first-ever Super Bowl was scheduled on the same evening. This episode was set in prehistoric times, and clearly predates the previous seven episodes. However, it didn't air until April 2, 1967. In the show's current syndication re-runs on certain networks - such as Antenna TV - this episode airs in its intended order, immediately preceding "20th Century Here We Come".
In popular culture[edit]
- The punk rock band X incorporated some of the lyrics of the show's theme song into their song "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts" for the album More Fun in the New World, as a commentary on the direction of 1980s music: "Glitter-disco-synthesizer night school/All this noble savage drum, drum, drum/Astronauts going back in time to hang out with the cave people/It's about time/It's about space/It's about some people in the strangest place."
- Electronic musician Venetian Snares samples the show's theme song extensively in his song Einstein-Rosen Bridge.

Best Nod on Pitchfork (2012)
Once BLKHRTS came roaring onto the local scene, it was only a matter of time before the act's ferocious brand of hip-hop attracted attention outside of Denver. So it came as little surprise when estimable Los Angeles-based music critic Jeff Weiss praised the group in the L.A. Times after seeing it in California this summer. But what was surprising was that the outfit made a big enough impact on Weiss that he included BLKHRTS' BLK S BTFL in a roundup of his favorite underrated rap releases of the year on Pitchfork — props that were well deserved.
