The Tybee Island Marine Science Center had sad news last week. Its sea turtle died. The little loggerhead was a lone straggler from a Tybee nest that the center had nurtured from a tiny half ounce hatchling to a perky half pounder. The center typically has a young loggerhead on display for educational purposes; they call it their sea turtle ambassador. They're released before they get too big for the tank. This one, depite professional care from the aquarium staff and two top-notch wildlife vets, didn't make it.

Chatham County residents interested in solar panels for their home or business have several opportunities to learn more about the local Solarize project that aims to bring cheaper solar to local rooftops. Called Solarize Tybee, (though it's now open to the whole county) the idea is that a bulk purchase of solar will lower prices. The more people who opt in, the lower the price goes.
There's an informational meeting tonight (Tuesday) from 6:30-8:30 at the Savannah Civic Center. The chosen contractor, Hannah Solar, will be on hand to answer questions.

You can see be among the first to catch a glimpse of the second hatchling in the owl nest. Viewers have seen the eggshell, even mama eating the eggshell , but haven't seen the baby brother or sister yet. Pictured here is the big chick, hatched a few days ago and while still tiny likely to look giant next to its little sib who's still hiding under mama.
Dad is making more frequent visits delivering food. And mom is feeding the big chick from leftovers strewn about the nest.

With the 24/7 owl cam and frequent pings from satellite-tagged great white sharks, it's like a live film fest of wild animals lately in Savannah. Here's another I just learned about: Mako sharks.

If, like me, you can't get enough of the Savannah owl cam, here's a great list of what to expect now that the first egg has hatched. This listed is posted on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Q & A page about the Savannah owls but I've pasted it here for your convenience.

A great white shark named Mary Lee has made a big loop offshore of Savannah over the last month.
The nonprofit Ocearch equipped the 3,500-pound, 16-foot long shark with a satellite tag in September 2012 off Cape Cod. Since then she's traveled more than 18,000 miles, spending a lot of her time off the Carolinas and Georgia, but also making one big swing all the way up to Massachusetts and back south by way of Bermuda.

I am 5ft tall, 85lb, size 1 in pants, about 17% fat. Female. I wrestle and run but its off season so I am very lazy haha. Plus the 100degree weather is too hot!!
Ive been reading about all kinds of tricks to pass a drug test. The test will be a pregnancy test at the OBGYN. Im terrified that I wont pass.
Things Ive heard that I can do(tell me if theyre true or not)
*Niacin pills
*Sweat it out
*Lots of water and cranberry juice
*Someone said Visin (not sure how to spell it) eye drops into the urine sample and it will clear it up??
*To stay away from fatty drinks and foods(foods are impossible to stay away from)
Im not sure if I can get any Niacin pills. We have all kinds of vitamins so I might have some but not sure. What other vitamins can I take to clean out my system?
Are there cheap drug test at cvs or walgreens for pot? Like really cheap.
If I shouldnt be clean by then... Can I say I had poppi seeds or someone else was smoking and I accidently inhaled it?
Please Im so scared that Ill get caught and any medical degree I want will go down the drain.

1. Methods to measure metabolites of steroid hormones from faeces have become very popular in wildlife conservation and ecology, because they allow gathering physiological data without the necessity to capture the animals. However, this advantage comes at costs that are particularly relevant when studying free-living animals in their natural environments. Previous methodological reviews have stressed the importance of validations to prove that real metabolites of the hormone in question are measured, but the research community has largely ignored further caveats relating to sex, diet, metabolic rate and individual differences in hormone metabolite formation.
2. Often the sexes differ in how they metabolize hormones. As a consequence, one may not be able to compare hormone metabolite concentrations between males and females of one species.
3. Diet can alter the way hormones are metabolized, and different diets can change the amount of faecal bulk. Both phenomena can result in measurement artefacts that may seriously distort the estimation of hormone metabolite concentrations. As a consequence, comparisons of hormone metabolite concentrations, for example, between seasons or populations, may become problematic.
4. Changes in ambient temperature and food availability may trigger large fluctuations in metabolic rate of free-living animals. These fluctuations may then result in major distortions of faecal hormone metabolite concentrations without any change in bioactive hormone levels.
5. Bacteria metabolize hormones in the gut. Individual differences in bacterial composition can cause differences in how hormones are decomposed. Thus, individuals may differ with regard to what kind of hormone metabolites they form and with regard to the relative composition of these hormone metabolites. As only specific metabolites are measured, differences in metabolism may distort the results.
6. In summary, non-invasive hormone research measures various end products of a hormone after its clearance from the circulation and extensive modification by bacteria. Not only does this increase random variance, it may also generate systematic noise, which may seriously distort the signal (i.e. the hormonal status of the individual) in a non-random manner. Thus, we still need to learn much more about whether this widely used technique reliably measures the physiological status of animals in uncontrolled environments.

Before Your Love (Bonus Track) Lyrics
Before Your Love (Bonus Track) Song Lyrics
I wonder how I ever made it through a day
How did I settle for a world in shades of gray
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why, then I looked into your eyes
And the world stretched out in front of me and I realized
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again, I wasn't really living
I never lived, before your love
I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I don't know how I survived without your kiss
'Cause you've given me a reason to exist
And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you breathed your love into me just in time

Direct Debit not enough cash charge aib?
My rent came out today by direct debit and i had no cash in my account but it was taking out and my account which went into overdraft..i put all the money in today though as i only got paid today..will there be any charge cause of the OD and there wasnt enough cash? cause i have another bill to pay by dd on thursday and i only have enough cash for that bill so dont want to be short if aib are going to charge me a fee cause of the dd today

10eur per D/D returned unpaid.
With respect, it's not the banks responcibility to manage your finances and especially when something as important as rent has to be paid.

i have one question...
i suppose pay my gas bill but i didnt have enough money on my account so i decided that i will pay with my next gas bill (i did know that aib will charge me with returned unpaid DD) anyway...
what happend is that gas took the money and my account wento into overdraft and now its -...,... euro
hows that possible that i didnt get returned of unpaid DD just maked my account on minus? for example my boyfriend and friend they never got their accounts overdraft. always the payment is return plus extra charge of unpaid DD.
im asking about it because i really needed this money for another bill which MUST MUST MUST be paid and now i dont have nothing

This may be better than having the debit bounce completely. Check it out with your bank.

I'm not sure of the exact figures for AIB but bank of ireland have the following charges,
12.50 if a company presents a direct debit which is not honoured.
0, 2.50, 5, 5, 10 for the first to 5th and above items that are paid but have no funds to cover them. So if you have a DD on your account and you have no funds the first time it happens in a quarter costs you nothing, after that the cost goes up to a tenner a go at the 5th time and above.
Also, which I only discovered recently is that they will allow your account to go to 500 euro into unauthorised overdraft before they actually stop direct debits and standing orders from being taken out.

The sliding scale charges you mention above are applied to Laser Transactions which put you over your limit, it does not apply for direct debits and standing orders. The scale is as follows:
1st Overlimit item - Free
2nd & 3rd Overlimit item - €2.50
4th & 5th Overlimit item - €5.00
6th and subsequent Overlimit items - €10.00
These are for the number of items you have in each fee quarter. In fairness, since the Laser system went live, it's much harder to build up these charges. Before the system went live, I'd often see customers who would go absolutely nuts with the Laser card over the weekends, like they might only have a balance of €500 but they'd spend nearly a grand over the weekend, and then on the monday and tuesday when the transactions started to hit the account, they'd be racking up a load of charges. The best way to avoid them is to keep track of what you spend and what your balance is.
If you don't want this to happen and would prefer that if the funds aren't there then bills etc are not paid, give your branch a call and they can put up an indicator on your account. Customers should be aware though that this only applies to Direct Debits and Standing Orders, Laser transactions can still go through (depending on the retailer's systems) and put you over your limit, so it's important to tally up what you're spending against what your balance is.

I suppose if you were renting through very large agency they may charge by DD, but personally I've never encountered people paying rent that way.

Hey guys, I have a question for the community. Would you guys rather get the map pack for free and watch ads in-between matches? I was thinking about this today because a friend of mine doesn't have the maps and I was annoyed. In my opionion the new map packs are sweet, just can't get enough. I think there should be two options for DLC and this can happen with any game. Either purchase the season pass and get the content that way or would you rather take the free route and watch ads till it pays off the DLC pack. Could you sit through $49.99 worth of commercials while playing a video game? Thoughts.
Noway I haven't watch live tv for about 3 years I always record stuff and fast forward the adds hate them and I hate those YouTube 1s you cants skip
No thanks. I'd rather pay up than have to sit through boring ads.

MLPFiM meets Phineas and FerbSmall warning before I start the story for anyone who hasn't watched Phineas and Ferb: This story can and will get a bit zany, some corniness will happen, but I can assure you that it's fully intuitional, based on the style of humor Phineas and Ferb has. I'm not going to include every last running gag from that show in this story, but I will try my best to include as many as I can. There will also be a few references to Equestria Girls and one to Double Rainboom, so I recommend watching those first if you haven't already, and now that Equestria Girls is on DVD you really have no legitimate excuse to not watch it. Trust me, it's not as bad as you think. Not great either, but it lives up to the standards the show had set. There will also be references to the Phineas and Ferb movie, which is also highly recommended watching.MLPFiM meets Phineas and Ferb by mattwo
MLPFiM meets Engine Sentai Go-Onger - Part 1One day, the Go-Ongers were traveling between the thirteen dimentions in Engine-O G9 when they wound up in a place they didn't recognize. Little did they know the place was the everfree forest. They got out to look around, the engines returning to their souls and casts with the Go-Ongers and BOMPER respectively, while the Go-Ongers stayed transformed, in case the air wasn't breathable. They looked around, still not sure where they were. "Hey guys, does anyone know where this is?" Souske asked. Renn was jotting down notes on his notepad. "Just! It looks like we might be in a yet-undiscovered fourteenth dimension. Speedor's engine soul came out of Sasuke's pocket and Souske put it inside his Go-Phone. "That's impossible! There's only thirteen!" Renn frowned, "Isn't that the point of it being undiscovered?" Bus-On's soul popped out too, and Renn put it inside his own Go-Phone "Yes, but that's not how it works!"

Perfect Day (2008)
Grace Bastidas
Photograph by Sylvia Plachy
First stop, BROADWAY SANDWICH SHOP (96-01 Roosevelt Avenue, 718-898-4088), a no-frills restaurant on the cuchifrito circuit of Junction Boulevard where breakfast is served. The mamey shake is cold and creamy, and the cubano is served with heaping portions of greasy pork, melted cheese, sour pickles, and thick mustarda special one-time-only fat-free version created just for me.
My other senses pause for nourishment at Spanish Harlem's EL MUSEO DEL BARRIO (1230 Fifth Avenue, 831-7272). Perched on the edge of this neighborhood built on nostalgia, the shabby facade of the 32-year-old institution hides a carnival inside. A Brazilian art show is set to kick off in a few momentsenough time to master the singsongy Portuguese of Rio. A quickie course at the NEW SCHOOL (66 West 12th Street, 229-5600) transforms me into a smoldering native speaker à la Sonia Braga circa 1977.
Back at the opening, I take pic-tures of the pictures of artists, pausing only to down delectable caipirinhas, mixed with juicy strawberries, kiwi chunks, and passion fruit dotted with tiny black seeds. As I walk around, a nearby pre-Columbian sculpture doesn't escape my touch. I get close to feel its smooth grooves and dents between my fingers. The temptation to stay longer and trace the patterns of a charcoal drawing signals it's time to move on.
I cross over to Central Park and take in the sunset's show of colors. The HARLEM MEER (Central Park, East 110 Street and Fifth Avenue, Central Park, 310-6600) is a pool of iridescent water, and the urban forest, an oasis in the middle of it all. But too much cachaça in the caipirinhas clouds my view, and the grass soon gives way to concrete. My journey has taken me further south than I had imagined.
I end up at a familiar locale in Queens that fuses the familial intimacy of Wednesday nights at NELL'S (246 West 14th Street, 675-1567) with the frenetic energy of S.O.B.'S (204 Varick Street, 243-4940) on Monday eves. The worn wooden floor has taken a beating from the night, as couples, having donned their best silk threads, try to outdo each other with fancy footwork and intricate spins. Meanwhile, Joe Arroyo sings about slavery from two speakers on each side of the room. A half-eaten pink birthday cake sits on a dining room table pushed up against a closet. Nouveau immigrants mingling on the same plastic-covered couch that used to stick to my legs during summers long ago talk loudly about faraway homes. They remember how it used to be. I want to tell them how it is.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see my mom, younger looking and wearing a red dress, carrying a tray with plastic plates brimming with coconut rice, stewed beef, and potato salad. She's moving her hips to the music and asking me to get out of her way, in her usual funny, abrupt manner. It's then I realize that I've arrived at that all-encompassing place that I craved and that was closer in spacebut not in timethan I had thought. I don't want to go home; I just got here.

New Wave RioRio de Janeiro, Brazil
This was the most miserable hostel stay I have ever had. We found multiple cockroaches (some dead, some alive) around the hostel. The owner was a bitter, mean lady who never smiled at us once. The bathrooms are broken, disgusting, and unclean. Our lockers were bashed in, in attempt for someone to steal something. This place needs to do Rio a favor and go out of business as soon as possible.
Pura Vida Hostel Rio de JaneiroRio de Janeiro, Brazil
The coolest hostel's I've ever stayed at. Clean, friendly, awesome Mayan/Portuguese architecture. Highly recommend staying here.
Bamboo Rio HostelRio de Janeiro, Brazil
Really fun place! Outdoor environment. The only bad thing was there were SO many mosquitos and some rude guests, but that's not quite the hostel's fault.
Samba Rooms HostelBelo Horizonte, Brazil
Best hostel Ive ever stayed at. Clean, friendly, hot showers. Plus you're really immersed in the local culture. The hostel paired with a local artist whos work is displayed. The owner is a manager for a samba band and invites the guest to local samba parties. That being said, the hostel itself was a calm, relaxing place to call home for the duration of my stay.

If thimerosal were safe, though, there would be no reason to take it out of vaccines. That?s a point not lost on Dr. Paul Offit, chief of infectious diseases at the Children?s Hospital of Philadelphia. ?We gave thimerosal a scarlet letter,? he told author David Kirby in the book Evidence of Harm. ?We precipitously pulled it out of vaccines and the consequence was immunization programs were disrupted.?
Offit goes so far as to claim that thimerosal is actually safe. ?If I sat here and drank 10 gallons of water quickly I would feel sick,? he told Kirby. ?But that doesn?t make water unsafe. It just means I shouldn?t take 10 gallons at once. I feel the same way about these substances, which are in the environment already. I think the way they?re presented in vaccines, they are at levels which are helpful, not harmful.?
Parents are really to blame here, Offit says. ?You did more harm than good in sort of quote/unquote allowing the parent to be fully informed. There?s no politically correct way to say this, but being fully informed is not always the best thing,? he told Kirby. ?You can take that out of context and make me look like a jerk, but you know what I?m saying.? Indeed we do.
In the same vein, the federal government knows mercury is dangerous, and has long warned pregnant women to avoid eating fish that contain too much. Yet for years it encouraged parents to inject their children with vaccines that contained mercury. That?s because, ?the risks of not vaccinating children on time are significant, whereas the risks of thimerosal-containing vaccines have not been proven scientifically,? as the CDC puts it.
Of course, the risk of deadly outbreaks is also theoretical. Last July the CDC reported, ?the nation?s childhood immunization rates are at record high levels,? with 79 percent of children getting their shots on time. That leaves 21 percent unprotected, though -- a rather large population. That would seem to be enough children to trigger outbreaks, and we haven?t seen one.
Still, it does make sense to vaccinate. But we should slow down and give children one shot at a time instead of three or four in one day. We also should allow parents to opt out of vaccinations such as Hepatitis B if they?re confident their child won?t be exposed to the disease. And parents deserve to know all the ingredients in the vaccines they?re using.
One wonders if Dr. Offit would be willing to take the Gov. Carey test. Would he, an adult with a fully developed brain, be willing to inject 50 micrograms of mercury into his body? That?s still less mercury than some children got in the late 1990s when they were just a few months old. That?s why the debate over thimerosal is far from settled.
What?s certain is that, whatever caused the spike in autism, solving the problem is going to cost more and take longer than we can even imagine.

I bought a watercolor set a long time ago, but was always too afraid to try them out as I had no idea how to even begin working with such a different medium than I am used to.
Yesterday I finally got to work and whipped out this little guy. It actually wasn't as difficult as I had expected. Although for those who are familar with watercolors, any advice would be appreciated. Also, I ran into trouble with the paper curling up which I can only assume was from possibly adding too many layers of watered down paint? I started very light and gradually added layers.
I would like to start offering watercolor paintings at a super discounted price just to gain experience, so I was thinking $25 (shipping is included) for now and then increasing my price as I gain more experience. Does this seem reasonable based on what you see here?

Spotlight Mirage page 4 by GuidoGuidiWatch

Lineart from Spotlight Mirage, page 4.
would it be possible to get the highress of it fpr practicing my coloring skills ?
I just uploaded an hi-res version at 300 DPI, just click on "Download Image"
no problem! I can send it to your email address
Such a great story, though i might need to refresh the page on tfwiki about it guys still cant understand whats that all dream then not dream world means
This is my favourite Spotlight! Great job on this one.
Love the details
Nice! Wasn't mad on the Spotlight, but the art was nice.
very well detailed lines
Out of curiosity, how long did it took to draw that?
Oh wow! Ci ho messo un attimo a notare che c'è qualcosa di diverso in Mirage. . .
Sorry for not faving or commenting often,I been working.
Amazing lineart!
Love the amount of details you put into this page.
This story always had me confused was he working for the Decpticons? I know in the end he's obviously an Autobot, throughout AHM.
wow! this si totally awesome and how many details!!!
How you get in all of those tiny details, I'll never know. You're, like, my hero dude. XD Amazing job!
I really love all the tiny detail you put into the background you must have magnifying glasses for eyes to draw all that. Still i cannot shake the feeling like the Deception insignia on Mirage is a reference to Energon Mirage. Like the cover of Ongoing issue 12 with Thundercracker's scratched off insignia being a reference to Armada Wheeljack.
i can tell you this right now, i would have gotten so frustrated drawing all of the small lines lol. your art is AMAZING!!!
really great!!!!!!!

Earlier today, Knicks' Coach Mike Woodson wouldn't discuss how he plans on re-acclimating Amar'e Stoudemire back into the lineup when he returns from injury next month. Will he be a starter? With New York off to such a strong start, the team needs to be careful not to rock the boat. Whose minutes would Stoudemire potentially take away?Of course, with his return nearly a month away, a more in depth conversation about the "dilemma" should be saved for another day.But as the Knicks take on the Hornets in New Orleans later this evening, there will surely another player who will continue vying for minutes in the rotation.Since returning from a calf injury that kept him sidelined through most of training camp and the preseason, Marcus Camby hasn't seen the playing time many may have expected him to receive when the big man signed with the team this summer.After receiving two "DNP-CD's" next to his name in the Knickerbocker box score, it became apparent that perhaps Camby wasn't 100% ready...

We don't know about you, but for us, the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan has re-sparked our philanthropic drive. Hearing about the amazing acts of humanity, empathy, and incredible selflessness that are happening there every day reminds us that even small actions, when pooled with the actions of others, can have huge positive impacts on the world around us. This month, we're making one of those small actions a little easier for you. You might consider a philanthropic donation to one of the organizations that provide relief worldwide in lieu of favors for your wedding. To announce to your guests that you are forgoing favors, you can print out a simple card that explains your donation and either set one at each place, or set a bunch on a table with a pretty floral arrangement for guests to pick up on their way out. We've put together a card for donations to the American Red cross, but there are tons of non-profits doing amazing work out there. Some organizations to consider are The Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, Shelterbox, UNICEF, CARE and Save the Children. Or, if you and your fiance have a cause about which you are passionate, consider donating to a charity that works with your cause. Happy giving! – Miya + Elisabeth

The Lonergan group's research deals with the electrical and electrochemical properties of solid-state materials. Our fundamental studies help to guide the design of new materials and concepts for application in a range of device technologies for the useful manipulation of electrical energy, e.g. in solar photovoltaics or solid-state lighting. The connection to these applications also motivates many of the groups and Professor Lonergan's educational activities, ranging from the University of Oregon's graduate internship program in semiconductors and photovoltaics to a new Chemistry and Sustainability course.
The group has been a part of the Department of Chemistry and the Materials Science Institute at the University of Oregon since 1996, and since then, its members have consisted of graduate students, undergraduates, and postdoctoral fellows studying materials chemistry and physics. We are grateful to a number of agencies that have funded our work over the years including the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Air Force Research Laboratory, Beckman Foundation, and the Dreyfus foundation.
At Oregon Since 1996

Soundbox The Devil Went Down to Tel Aviv
On the stage are three pairs of contrasting musical instruments - the high and the low of families of instruments: a violin and a contrabass form the string family, a clarinet and a bassoon from the woodwinds and a trumpet and a trombone from the brass instruments. Behind them is a battery of percussion instruments; beside them is an actor-narrator and in front of them on the small stage there is a dancer. This is a small troupe of artists, a peripatetic theater that at any moment could pack up its few things and move on to a performance in the next village, an ideal troupe for a time of war when every penny is needed and it is necessary to bring art to the people.
This, in 1918, in the bleak last days of World War I, was the plan of two artists whose source of income had been blocked: One was composer Igor Stravinsky, a Russian expatriate who was stuck in Switzerland and unable to continue to perform in Western Europe as he had done before the war. He was without the allowance he had received from his wealthy family in Russia and without the royalties from his works printed in Germany.
The second was Charles Ferdinand Ramuz, a Swiss writer who had lived in France and had returned to his native land to find refuge from the horrors of the war. Thus "The Soldier's Tale," a piece for musical theater, was born.
And thus too a new means of performance was born that became a genre and a symbol of the 20th century: a small, modular troupe of artists that crosses styles and specializations, completely contrary in its modernist outlook to the tremendous and abundantly emotional Romantic ideals of the 19th century, from which the new century aspired to liberate itself.
Another century has gone by and the next two Friday's will see "A Soldier's Tale" performed at the Cameri Theater in Tel Aviv by the Gropius Ensemble, which includes actor Itay Tiran.
In Vienna a few years prior to "A Soldier's Tale," Stravinsky had heard Arnold Schoenberg's groundbreaking work "Pierrot Lunaire," the harbinger of the new musical theater, and he was influenced by it, as were all the composers who had awakened to the new wind that was blowing in the second decade of the century.
Schoenberg's work, however, was unique: After the pagan "Rite of Spring" and the Russian Orthodox "Les Noces," both of them expansive revolutionary works, in it Stravinsky presented a new, French-influenced, humoristic, dry, succinct, and dance-like style with elements of ragtime jazz and folkdances; a style that was ultimately refined into "neo-classical."
The composer's rhythmical complexity was not dulled here as compared to his great ballets, but only took on a different, sharper and more ironic form.
Marches, a dance scene that includes a waltz and a tango, references the religious tradition in the form of two chorales, the innovative mix of instruments, the imaginative and sweeping melodies with rising emotion despite themselves - all these leave listeners astonished and delighted even today, 90 years after "A Soldier's Tale" was composed. The work, which is based on Russian folktales, in a variation of the Faust motif common to many cultures, tells of a soldier on furlough who meets the devil on his way home and gives him his violin, an allegory for his soul.
In return he is given a magical book that predicts the future and can make any man extremely rich. This happens but the soldier becomes miserable and the money cannot give meaning to his life. Money does not buy the real things.
"He listens to birds twittering in their nests, for free / To the wind plucking tunes in the leaves, for free / To old people in their gardens at rest, for free/ And couples closing shutters for a night of loving, for free."
After a series of encounters with the devil disguised as various characters, the soldier manages to purloin his violin through cunning, chases the devil away by playing it, cures a sick princess and the two fall in love and marry.
However, after the marriage he is tempting into crossing the border of the kingdom despite a warning from the devil, he falls into his net and loses his soul - this time permanently. And all this happens in a musical and theatrical celebration that is entirely suspenseful.
Stravinsky's endless imagination in the colors of the sounds, his melodies and biting harmonies and the intoxicating rhythm is amazing.
The devil's victory march, which culminates in a long solo for percussion that is the finale of the entire work, is not a Romantic happy ending, but it causes immense musical-theatrical delight.
Musical Bauhaus
"There are good ensembles for new music in Israel and we realized that in order to play avant-garde, or the classics of the 20th century, or contemporary Israeli music, there was no particular need for us," says Daniel Cohen, of Netanya, on the birth of the Gropius Ensemble, which he will conduct in the concerts of "A Soldier's Tale."
"Something unique was needed, and our artistic direction began to take shape only after actor Itay Tiran joined us. Then everything started to become clear. We aren't just bringing an actor into a musical work or integrating musicians into theater, but we are aiming to create a new performance genre that is a synthesis of both the arts. Like architect Walter Gropius, who blended different techniques and styles and created the Bauhaus style, for us there are no boundaries between music and theater and they become a single entity. Therefore we named the ensemble after him."
"The love between us and Itay is mutual," continues Cohen. "He is part of the ensemble: With our help he has returned to his musical roots, and it is lucky that the Cameri Theater has given us a home and has adopted all of us in this way."
Daniel Cohen is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music in London. Before that, he studied at the Academy of Music in Tel Aviv in place of high school and he completed his matriculation exams on his own.
In London he founded the Eden Orchestra, which he conducts as its musical director; its most recent concert was earlier this year at Queen Elizabeth hall and was comprised solely of Israeli music. He is also the chief conductor of an orchestra on the Bailiwick of Jersey between France and England.
"Jersey is a paradise on earth," he says. "It is an island that is now building a new musical life for itself. The orchestra is associated with the academy of music, in order to increase the number of musicians living on the island, because an orchestra that is not needed by its community doesn't have a right to exist."
"The claims about there being no audience are ridiculous," continues Cohen. "What orchestras lack, or don't have at all, isn't an 'audience,' but rather relevance to a community, and this has to be built up actively. The audience isn't an anonymous bloc that just fills seats in a hall and has to be kept there by diluting the artistic message and lowering the level. No, a mutuality has to develop with the people who constitute it."
Three pounds and a pint
"A Soldier's Tale" in not the only work in the Gropius Ensemble repertoire; there is also an original work, "Kofadam," composed by ensemble member Mata Porat. The work, which is based on a story by Franz Kafka, makes use of the same combination of instruments as Stravinsky's work, but with a greater richness of staging and virtuoso performance by Itay Tiran.
"I don't like traditional concerts," confesses Daniel Cohen. "There is something about the buttoned-up experience of concerts; in my mind, going to listen to a sublime work that one is obliged to admire is artificial. Anyone who says 'Oh, how lovely' of the funeral march in Beethoven's 'Eroica Symphony,' like I was once told in England, and isn't truly shaken, hasn't heard the music. It should be okay to shout 'Bravo' in the middle of the work for a brilliant rendering, or to laugh out loud; the music should be alive and breathing and real - in my opinion, that's listening."
Cohen says "Kofadam" is a new work that causes people to listen differently, actively, and accordingly causes his group to play differently.
"The combination of the arts also gives the audience something to hold on to, and that's important," continues Cohen. "It's always necessary to go towards the audience, to support it. In England, for example, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment offers tickets to students for 3 pounds, with the bonus of a free pint of beer at a local pub after the concert. The musicians also come to the pub and encourage the audience to talk about the music, their instruments and everything that had happened during the evening. It is true that sometimes stupid questions are also heard there but mostly the discussions are meaningful and the intention is that in the end the young people will say that they had never heard music before, come on guys, this symphony is cool."

I had lunch Sunday with Damien
Watkins who taught the first every class using the .NET Framework and is now
working for MS Research in Cambridge. He and I were commiserating the fact
that we had not been asked to do a 2nd rev of our (and Mark
Hammond's) Programming
in the .NET Environment book.
In general sales in the
technical book market have not been great and I think it is fair to say there
was a glut of .NET books on the market. But I think the product is starting to be
mature enough for the "classics" to emerge. Those that get 2, 3, or more revisions….
Who do you think gets in that
list? Are you ready for a
2nd revision of any of your .NET books? Maybe updated with Whidbey content?

Week Eight: Friday Night Hoops
More: Week Eight Scoreboard | 2012 Schedules | 2012 Standings | Free 7-Day Membership
Week Eight is here and we have a new number one team in the land of enchantment. The big marquee game though is a few spots down between two teams in the top 10.
Highlights: Prep upsets No. 23 Tigers
(Josh Henderson, NMPreps.com Basketball & Football Staff member brings you the highlights)
Sandia Prep 54, No. 23 Los Lunas 52: The Sandia Prep Sundevils took on the Los Lunas Tigers on Friday night as the Tigers would play host to the Sundevils in a great matchup to help bring in the new year with some solid boys basketball. The game would feature a first half that was somewhat controlled by the Sundevils as they would hold a 25-21 lead at the midway point. However the Los Lunas Tigers would prove they have some fight left in them as they would battle back to make it a close game down the stretch, a missed shot in the final seconds by the Tigers own Chris Sanchez would find the back of the rim and the Sundevils would sink a pair of free throws to ice the game. Leading the way for the Sundevils was Zach Tenorio who had 15 points and Tyler Dorner who had 10 and 6 rebounds, also helping out the Sundevils cause was Jonny Duran who had 12 points and 4 assists.
Grine Lessons Learned
1. Top-25 Suffers On Friday: Fifty percent of the Top-25 ranked teams in New Mexico fell on Friday night. Gallup High School has been the silent killer as of late taking down a pair of Top-25 this season.
2. No. 7 Coyotes are the real deal: Yes, they are ranked in the Top-10 but in 4A hoops this season, so far, it's the Coyotes then the rest of 4A. I like the Coyotes more and more each week.
3. Farmington turning a page folks: The Scorpions started the season rough at 0-4 but have been able to sneak some wins as of late. They could find themselves getting some more love in 4A Bracket Watch (Every other Thursday feature).
Prime Time Players
Boys Basketball
Cesar Nava, Roswell: 19 points
Matt Huffines, Farmington: 20 points
PJ CdeBaca, Pecos: 20 points
Girls Basketball
Gail Sanchez, Roswell: 20 points
Kyanne Kowatch, Tularosa: 20 points

Box Score Recaps
(Josh Henderson, NMPreps.com Basketball & Football Staff)
No. 7 Roswell 63, No. 13 St. Pius 49: The Roswell Coyotes and the St. Pius X Sartans faced on on Friday night to do battle as two of the top teams in 4A battled it out on the night. The Coyotes would show just how impressive a team they can be when running on all cylinders on Friday night. The Coyotes held on to a 33-28 lead at the half but would come out of the break and go on a 20-7 scoring run in the 3rd quarter and the Coyotes would never look back as they remain undefeated on the season at 11-0. Leading the way for Roswell was Junior guard Cesar Nava who had a game high 19 points.
No. 20 Santa Teresa 43, Gadsden 34: The Santa Teresa Desert Warriors took on the Gadsden Panthers in Fridays showdown, the Desert Warriors would come away with the victory following a good defensive showing for Santa Teresa. The Desert Warriors are now 8-5 on the year after the win and will host Carlsbad in their next game.
Farmington 67, Miyamura 39: The Farmington Scorpions took on the Miyamura Patriots on Firday night and it was a much needed victory for the Scorpions following the 67-39 win over another 4A opponent. With the win the Scorpions improve to 4-7 on the year following a 20-8 lead in the 1st quarter one which they would never squander. Farmington will have a bit of momentum heading into their next matchup after their success against Miyamura. Leading the way for the Scorpions was Matt Huffhines who had 20 points on the night.
Pecos 85, Escalante 40: The Pecos Panthers and the Escalante Lobos did battle on Friday night at the Northern Rio Grande Tournament. The Panthers 10-1 on the season would take on the 7-5 Lobos and dispatch of them easily leading by 29 at the half. The Panthers looking like the team to beat in 2A this year with quality wins over Santa Rosa, Tularosa and a huge 101-62 victory over Mora last week. Leading the way for the Panthers was P.J. C De Baca who had a game high 20 points. The Panthers will take on the Mora Rangers in the NRG championship match
Girls Basketball RecapsNo. 24 Roswell 49, No. 16 St. Pius 42: The Roswell Lady Coyotes would take on the visiting St. Pius X Sartans on the night as the lady Coyotes would look to continue their 6 game win streak and make it 7 wins in a row for the red hot Coyotes. Roswell is now 8-4 on the year and are looking more and more like the teams we are accustom to seeing out of Roswell. Leading the way for the Lady Coyotes was Gali Sanchez with a game high 20 points.
Tularosa 60, Magdalena 38: The Tularosa Lady Wildcats took on the Magdalena on Friday night as both teams got down to business to help bring in the new year of some girls basketball. The Lady Wildcats would end up winning a lopsided affair after pulling away early and would never look back. The Lady Wildcats have enjoyed some recent success and with the win against Magdalena the lady Wildcats have momentum on their side for the start of the new yea as they move to 9-5 on the year after Kyanne Kowatch led the lady Wildcats with 12 points and also contributing was junior Valeria Mendez.
No. 2 Clovis 64, No. 18 Cleveland 33: The Clovis lady Wildcats took on the Cleveland Storm on Friday night and the Storm would play the roll of visitor in the matchup that featured two top tier 5A teams.

Is it possible to create a file that will contain its own checksum (MD5, SHA1, whatever)? And to upset jokers I mean checksum in plain, not function calculating it.
Yes. It's possible, and it's common with simple checksums. Getting a file to include it's own md5sum would be quite challenging.
In the most basic case, create a checksum value which will cause the summed modulus to equal zero. The checksum function then becomes something like
If the checksum then becomes a part of the file, and is checked itself. A very common example of this is the Luhn algorithm used in credit card numbers. The last digit is a check digit, and is itself part of the 16 digit number.
I created a piece of code in C, then ran bruteforce for less than 2 minutes and got this wonder:
Note the must be no characters (end of line, etc) after the sentence.
You can check it here: http://www.crc-online.com.ar/index.php?d=The+CRC32+of+this+string+is+4A1C449B&en=Calcular+CRC32
This one is also fun:
Source code (sorry it's a little messy) here: http://www.latinsud.com/pub/crc32/
Certainly, it is possible. But one of the uses of checksums is to detect tampering of a file - how would you know if a file has been modified, if the modifier can also replace the checksum?
Sure, you could concatenate the digest of the file itself to the end of the file. To check it, you would calculate the digest of all but the last part, then compare it to the value in the last part. Of course, without some form of encryption, anyone can recalculate the digest and replace it.
I should add that this is not so unusual. One technique is to concatenate a CRC-32 so that the CRC-32 of the whole file (including that digest) is zero. This won't work with digests based on cryptographic hashes, though.
"I wish my crc32 was 802892ef..."
Well, I thought this was interesting so today I coded a little java program to find collisions. Thought I'd leave it here in case someone finds it useful:
The output:
Note the dots at the end of the message are actually part of the message.
On my i5-2500 it was going to take ~40 minutes to search the whole crc32 space from 00000000 to ffffffff, doing about 1.8 million tests/second. It was maxing out one core.
I'm fairly new with java so any constructive comments on my code would be appreciated.
"My crc32 was c8cb204, and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt!"
Check this:
I don't know if I understand your question correctly, but you could make the first 16 bytes of the file the checksum of the rest of the file.
So before writing a file, you calculate the hash, write the hash value first and then write the file contents.
If the question is asking whether a file can contain its own checksum (in addition to other content), the answer is trivially yes for fixed-size checksums, because a file could contain all possible checksum values.
If the question is whether a file could consist of its own checksum (and nothing else), it's trivial to construct a checksum algorithm that would make such a file impossible: for an n-byte checksum, take the binary representation of the first n bytes of the file and add 1. Since it's also trivial to construct a checksum that always encodes itself (i.e. do the above without adding 1), clearly there are some checksums that can encode themselves, and some that cannot. It would probably be quite difficult to tell which of these a standard checksum is.
There is a neat implementation of the
You can of course, but in that case the SHA digest of the whole file will not be the SHA you included, because it is a cryptographic hash function, so changing a single bit in the file changes the whole hash. What you are looking for is a checksum calculated using the content of the file in way to match a set of criteria.
The simplest way would be to run the file through an MD5 algorithm and embed that data within the file. You can split up the check sum and place it at known points of the file (based on a portion size of the file e.g. 30%, 50%, 75%) if you wish to try and hide it.
Similarly you could encrypt the file, or encrypt a portion of the file (along with the MD5 checksum) and embed that in the file. Edit I forgot to say that you would need to remove the checksum data before using it.
Of course if your file needs to be readily readable by another program e.g. Word then things become a little more complicated as you don't want to "corrupt" the file so that it is no longer readable.
There are many ways to embed information in order to detect transmission errors etc. CRC checksums are good at detecting runs of consecutive bit-flips and might be added in such a way that the checksum is always e.g. 0. These kind of checksums (including error correcting codes) are however easy to recreate and doesn't stop malicious tampering.
It is impossible to embed something in the message so that the receiver can verify its authenticity if the receiver knows nothing else about/from the sender. The receiver could for instance share a secret key with the sender. The sender can then append an encrypted checksum (which needs to be cryptographically secure such as md5/sha1). It is also possible to use asymmetric encryption where the sender can publish his public key and sign the md5 checksum/hash with his private key. The hash and the signature can then be tagged onto the data as a new kind of checksum. This is done all the time on internet nowadays.
The remaining problems then are 1. How can the receiver be sure that he got the right public key and 2. How secure is all this stuff in reality?. The answer to 1 might vary. On internet it's common to have the public key signed by someone everyone trusts. Another simple solution is that the receiver got the public key from a meeting in personal... The answer to 2 might change from day-to-day, but what's costly to force to day will probably be cheap to break some time in the future. By that time new algorithms and/or enlarged key sizes has hopefully emerged.
The answer is "yes, easily" so long as your definition of a file is broader than just the contents of a file.
One very obvious example would be:
There are circumstances where this is very useful, for example I made a website for some people several years ago who are paranoid about security, and all files in /www were stored like this, with mod-rewrite handling the /index.html -> ab489absa9ad8aa8d... AND checking on every file read that the MD5 matched. Since editing mod-rewite (and injecting evil files) requires a restart of the Apache daemon (.htaccess files were ignored), and on daemon stop/start the admin gets an e-mail, it was a pretty nice/simple setup to check file integrity before serving.
Anyway, these days there is a much more practical way of doing this - particularly if malice is not a factor - with filesystem metadata. The below works on MacOS, but there is also setfattr and getfattr (oh, geek humour...) on other *nix systems.
If you want to do this a lot, i recommend adding something like this to your bashrc:
So after writing the hash to the file once, you can grab it again much much quicker in future by doing something like this:

Oh! so take the picture at the right moment to have this lonely vision !

We track four people on their journey.
A look at the history of France's black community
15 Dec 2013 10:29 GMT | Iceland
She asks: "How are you now then?""I'm not sure," I reply. "When I bend my neck to look down I get these strange tingles that shoot down my back into my feet. And my left arm just goes dead sometimes.""You're just imagining it," she tells me.Then the other one says: "Do you know what a hypochondriac is?"
From those first little feelings and responses until now, I've experienced a broad variety of symptoms, reactions, emotions and perceptions.
I really did believe I was a hypochondriac. When every sensation you feel is unexplainable and the doctors throw around explanations such as sick bug, meningitis, stroke, ear infection - and it turns out to be none of those things - well, I can see why those two individuals thought I was making things up.
Now, when people find out that I've been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), they say: "I'm sorry to hear that." Some people assume that a diagnosis of MS means that I'll soon be in a wheelchair or using a walking stick. For some, unfortunately, that is the case. But everybody's MS is different and the majority of symptoms can't be seen – they're invisible.
Have you ever just been sore? For no reason? We have.
What is sore anyway? Is it when your skin is sore to touch, when your right foot feels like it has been set on fire or when you have lingering pain in one arm, then the other, over and over again? Does the feeling of walking on needles count? One woman said she feels like she has a tin of baked beans tied to each wrist and ankle and this heaviness comes with absolute fatigue too.For a while the right side of my face had a tightness in the muscles which made it look like it was drooping. Is this heaviness or tightness a pain that other people could possibly understand? In one relapse my legs felt wet. I kept touching them but, alas, they were dry. Sometimes I feel like I need to pee, but I'm not sure if I do. I have to go to the toilet though just in case. Most of these trips are just wasted journeys that use up valuable time in the day when I could be doing something worthwhile.
When I've spoken to other sufferers I've discovered that, like me, they have a horrendous memory. They also say that they mix up words, letters in words or forget the word completely. When I struggle to find the words I'm looking for I sound like I've consumed too much alcohol when, in fact, I've had none at all.
It's a Saturday evening. I shuffled onto the bus pulling on the grab rails. It took a little minute but I slowly got the words out: "Can you stop the bus outside my house when I press the bell please? I don't think I can walk down the bus while it's moving." I live on an island and there are no fixed bus stops here. But the driver didn't stop when I pressed the bell the first time. Or the second, third or fourth. Bit by bit I sluggishly made my way to the front of the bus. The driver stopped. I ended up walking half a mile back to my house. The day before I couldn't walk at all without help. The bus driver obviously thought I was drunk. Before having MS myself, I must confess, I probably would have thought the same if I saw a young female stumble towards me, on a Saturday night, slurring her words.
Dizzy, weak, tired, I had vertigo and a total lack of coordination. This made even the simplest things hard to do. If I was sitting or standing and started to lean over I couldn't stop myself. I would fall in that direction and then couldn't get up again - a bit like a beetle when it gets stuck on its back. On one occasion I tried to feed Chloe (my cat) but when I started to lean forward gravity prevailed. I fell and ended up sitting in the cat's food - one bum cheek in each bowl. I shouted "Mum!" The first thing she did was laugh and take a photo of me. Then she got the boy next door to come over and pick me up. Thanks Mum! I'm glad that she is this way. It would be so easy to cry if you couldn't see the hilarity of the situation.
Most of the symptoms that I've mentioned are invisible and there are so many more besides. You can't see them but we can feel them. What I would like to convey is that we could all try not to be so quick to judge someone on what we can or can't see.
Hayley will be trekking through Iceland to raise funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Trust, learn more here.

posted 7 years ago
I bought this just to give it a try with my 3 cats.
At first all T-Bone did was sit on it,but he finally figured it out.The other two cats avoided it for almost two weeks,but they too have now come to the conclusion that the cat scratcher can be a fun toy.

Cons: none really
