Pam Tanase
For years, Pam Tanase was a disciplined self-employed professional with a bustling home office. Then, one day over lunch, she (along with her husband and a couple of close friends) started a discussion about how much they all enjoyed working from home. However, they were all in agreement that certain things were missing from the home office environment that prevented their respective situations from being nearly perfect.
A solution didn't exist, so the group decided to create it. A year of comprehensive research, planning and design later, the first workzones was launched in Santa Barbara, California, in 2012.
Workzones is a new, cutting-edge office concept that provides self-employed and independent professionals with an ideal place to get work done in a communal setting.
The layout of workzones, a co-working club, features several "zones" each offering different settings and work stations designed to accommodate the varying needs of busy, modern professionals.

text: How a Russian tycoon is buying his way into the Silicon Valley elite Magazine Features 30 November 11 by Michael Wolff This article was taken from the December 2011 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.This is my first trip to Moscow, and Yuri Milner, the world's most successful investor in social media, is taking me to his parents' apartment, which he bills as a typical middle-class Moscow dwelling. It's drab Soviet brick outside. The none-too-reliable-looking lift is encircled by a crumbling staircase. But inside the apartment is genteel and highly recognisable. It's cramped but comfortable, filled with way too many books. Milner's father, Boris, is an 81-year-old former professor -- a specialist, during the Soviet era, in American management practices, no less -- who has written or edited more than 50 books and is eager to show his guest all of them. His less garrulous mother, Betti, who lays out a table of tea and copious sweets, is a doctor who practised at the Moscow Department for Disease Prevention for almost 40 years.The message seems clear: Milner may have invested in virtually every social-media powerhouse, from Facebook to Twitter to Spotify. He might be the vanguard of an entirely new financial philosophy. He might be the most controversial money guy in Silicon Valley -- sought after, feared, and derided in equal measure. But at heart he is just a nice Jewish boy. Which might help explain -- and Milner very much wants to explain himself -- how it is that he has gone from investing in a macaroni factory in Moscow to upending the American tech business. I believe, too, he is trying to say his success story ought to be just as appealing as any in the Valley.It certainly hasn't played that way in the tight-knit club of Valley venture capitalists. In fact, the more successful Milner has become, and the faster he has compounded his success -- beginning with his night-raid investment in Facebook in 2009 and now encompassing major positions in Zynga, Groupon, Twitter and Spotify -- the more suspect and outré he has come to seem. He's definitely not your conspicuous non-consumption Valley billionaire.Kara Swisher, who, with Walt Mossberg, runs The Wall Street Journal's D Conference, one of the prestige events in the technology business, told me with arch inflection how Milner -- a Vladimir Putin lookalike with a dark undershirt always peeking out of his collar -- had shown up at the conference with a blonde model towering over him. (Swisher was only slightly sheepish when she found out this was his wife.) What's more, a whisper campaign has dogged his American adventure. Indeed, among the early backers of his investment fund, Digital Sky Technologies, was Alisher Usmanov -- one of the richest men in Russia, whom even other Russian oligarchs find, to say the least, a little dodgy Usmanov's résumé includes alleged Kremlin associations and an overturned conviction for fraud and extortion. He also has a near $18 billion (£12 billion) fortune in mining, steel and telecoms, as well as the obligatory stake in a Premiership football club.His house has not helped, either. Milner, who runs his business from a no-frills office suite in Moscow, is spending more and more time in the Valley and so has bought a place in Los Altos Hills -- not just the Valley's most expensive house but, at a reported $100 million (£63.3 million), among the most expensive in America. (Milner is embarrassed about this and seems aware that he may have misjudged exactly how this purchase would be seen.)To many, Milner's success is not just too much and too fast in a land of too much and too fast but... but... and here people start to bluster petulantly... somehow unfair: here's an outsider who has handed out money at outrageously founder-friendly terms -- paying huge amounts for relatively small stakes, essentially buying exclusive access to the most desirable companies on the web! It is his outsiderness that seems most irritating and even alarming. How is it that an outsider has spotted opportunities that the Valley's best missed? Does his success suggest that the rest of the world is starting to horn in on what has been, to date, as American as apple pie -- the internet future and internet riches?That's why I'm here in Russia -- to try to figure out just what his advantage is. If he is a game changer, how exactly does he game change? I'm curious, too, about what he's after personally: he seems to want respect from the Silicon Valley folk, but why would he? Why does he care what they think? Milner's rise as a power-brokering investor happened so fast -- his fund went from zero equity to more than $12 billion in US assets in under two years -- that his story has not had time to come out. Russia may well be the most captivating place on Earth for businesspeople, because it is purely about cause and effect. All of the power dynamics are on the surface: here's who has the money, here's who has the influence, and here's who controls the resources, so all you need is the gumption and the savvy to take advantage of them.After the collapse of the USSR, a class of robber barons, the oligarchs, rose to control much of Russia's vast resources. In a disorganised and corrupt process of privatisation, they came to control vast reserves of Russia's export wealth: oil, minerals, lumber and wheat passed very cheaply from government to private hands. A not inconsiderable point: a disproportionate number of the oligarchs are Jewish. The Jews in the USSR, often kept from taking official career paths, came to thrive in the grey and black markets. Hence, they were among the only capitalists in Russia when capitalism emerged.Milner, a half-generation younger than the first rank of oligarchs, was selling grey-market computers when the end of the USSR arrived. He bought old DOS machines, imported or smuggled from the US, and delivered them at appointed street corners.His father wasn't pleased. Milner was slacking off his studies as a physics graduate student and doing things that could get him into trouble with the authorities. His father's solution was both predictable and a wild leap into uncharted waters: his son should get an American MBA. In 1990, Milner enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, where a close friend of his father is a professor.This leap for Milner was radical in all the obvious, transformational, emotionally topsy-turvy ways that might be imagined (he was a great oddity at Wharton), but it was also a leap into one of the most dramatic and picaresque moments of American capitalism. It was the age of the takeover artist -- Michael Milken, Carl Icahn, Ronald Perelman, Henry Kravis -- and Milner fell in love with them all: "These are very romantic figures for me, and they are very American."Meanwhile, his own country was imploding and turning into, for some, a highly profitable free-for-all. Watching from afar in Philadelphia and filled with envy, Milner, after Wharton and a three-year stint at the World Bank, came back to Moscow. He went to work for the now-imprisoned enemy of Putin and founder of Yukos, then Russia's largest oil company, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who in the 90s was in the process of devouring, some would say by extraordinary means, great parts of the Russian economy. Milner proposed to Khodorkovsky that they try a legal takeover -- American style, and the first ever in Russia -- of a confectionery company. The takeover failed (Milner wrote a book about the experience, pleasing his father), and he went out on his own. In 1998, he assembled a group of investors and bought a macaroni factory. Russia had just defaulted on its debt, and Milner figured that was the end of the days of imported macaroni. But macaroni was hardly the point.Nobody in the digital world knew that the man in the Russian macaroni factory existed, but his nose was pressed to the glass. Sitting up late at night in the factory, as his cashflow mounted, Milner was focused on the US. It was the apogee of the dotcom moment, 1999, and Milner fastened on to an American business theory. The theory held that the internet is an advertising medium where users themselves create the vast amount of content. In other words, as Milner understood it, the same ocean of advertising revenues that had gone to traditional media might now go to the internet, but without the off-setting costs of creating content. "From margin standpoint," Milner noted, "this is very magical." But then the bubble burst spectacularly. Mail.ru, then the biggest internet company in Russia, valued at its height at $100 million, crashed too. Milner, with his macaroni cashflow, bought it on the cheap. The grey-market Soviet hustler turned would-be Russian oligarch had become a dotcom entrepreneur. Read page 2 1234 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Young Africans' technical blunder of fielding suspended defender Nadir Haroub in their return leg match against Coastal Union on March 31 at the Mkwakwani Stadium has intensified premiership title boost for Simba and Azam.
Haroub, a lynchpin of Yanga defence who has a strong backing from their Serbian coach Kostadin Papic, was in the starting line-up when the team played Coastal Union.
He was supposed to serve the mandatory three-match ban resulting from a straight red card flashed by referee Israel Nkongo, during their match against Azam at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on March 10.
Coastal Union appealed to the premiership league committee which in turn ruled in their favor granting them three points and as many goals to dent Yanga's title retention bid.
Yanga appealed against the decision to the Reconciliation and disciplinary committee headed by former police commander Alfred Tibaigana.
Tibaigana;s committee which met on Tuesday night did not entertain Yanga's appeal after upholding an earlier decision passed by the premiership league committee last month.
The committee ruled that Yanga had violated the fundamental principle for suspensions resulting from cards flashed by referees during a match.
Beside that the regulations and ettiquetes governing the Mainland premier league a per section 25 (c) clearly stipulates that once a player has been sent off by a referee no appeal will be entertained whatsoever.
The premier league committee quoted the section qwhen handing Yanga the letter for suspended player.
FIFA rule stipulates that a player is strictly prohibited from interfering with the referee during a play and a suspended player through a straight red card should serve a minimum of six matches.
The outcome of the appeal has left Young Africans to hand by a loose thread and keep title race at a terrible stake.
The 3-2 loss to 'blood brothers' Toto Africa during their return leg tie played at the CCM Kirumba Stadium in Mwanza last Saturday, added salt on Yanga's wounds as archrivals Simba march on with tenacious zeal to dethrone them.
A weak ceiling of 55 points basing on wining all the four matches in hand is easily surpassed by title contenders Azam and Simba.
Yanga have not only lost title quest but also substantial sums in terms of fines and fees to process the appeals.
Otherwise, Yanga had a smooth running towards title defence ahead of fielding Haroub, the decision that would linger long in the memory of the club's records.

- "The First Sword of Braavos does not run."
- ―Syrio Forel
Syrio Forel is a recurring character in the first season. He is played by guest star Miltos Yerolemou and debuts in "Lord Snow." Syrio Forel is a master sword-fighter and instructor.
Syrio Forel is a master sword-fighter, originally from the Free City of Braavos where he spent nine years as the First Sword of the city, before relocating to King's Landing.
Season 1
After arriving in King's Landing, Lord Eddard Stark discovers that his daughter Arya owns a sword (Needle, a gift from her half-brother Jon Snow) but has not been properly trained to use it. He hires Syrio Forel to train Arya in its use. Forel accepts the commission and begins to train Arya in how to use the sword in the Braavosi style. Arya's lessons are kept a secret; her sister Sansa believes that Arya is getting 'dancing lessons'.[1]
Eddard finds Arya balancing on the top of some stairs. She tells him that Syrio set her the task to improve her balance.[2] Arya chases cats to improve her dexterity and speed on Syrio's suggestion.[3]
Syrio and Arya have another lesson, but Arya is distracted. Syrio tells her that she is more vulnerable when she is 'with her trouble' rather than concentrating on the here and now. He teaches her how to forget her troubles so she can concentrate on fighting.[4] After Eddard's arrest for treason, Lannister guards led by Ser Meryn Trant of the Kingsguard arrive to take Arya into custody. Syrio informs them that he will protect her. When they try to barge past him, he disarms one guard with a training sword. He fights off a massed attack by the guardsmen and then engages Ser Meryn, telling Arya to run. When she asks him to come with her, he tells her, "The First Sword of Braavos does not run." Arya flees as Syrio's battle cry and the sounds of fighting erupt behind her. The result of the fight is not revealed, leaving Syrio's fate uncertain.[5]

In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels Syrio Forel was once the First Sword of Braavos, the most skilled bravo or swordfighter of the city, in the service of the Sealord himself. He specialized in a style of combat known as 'water dancing', favoring a light sword and expert balance over the Westerosi style of hacking at one another with massive swords in heavy armor. It is unclear why he departed Braavos to relocate to King's Landing.
Syrio tells Arya how he became the first sword of Braavos. He was chosen over stronger, faster and younger men because he was perceptive - he saw while others were blind. He was invited to an audience with the ruler of Braavos, who had a cat on his lap. The ruler asked Syrio what he saw. Syrio replied "I see a tomcat." The ruler pressed him with questions on the ears and the belly but Syrio maintained his answer. Others answered with flattery and unfounded claims about the virtues of the animal. Syrio was chosen over all of them. The lesson to look carefully and see what is truly there is taken to heart by Arya.
His appearance differs from his TV series' counterpart, described in the book as a slight, bald man with a beaked nose. In the DVD commentary, author George R.R. Martin himself said that he didn't care about such minor differences, being more concerned with the satisfying performance of the actor.
Syrio's battle with Ser Meryn Trant in the TV series is portrayed much as it was in the books: Syrio continues to fight the Kingsguard even after his wooden sword is broken, and as Arya runs away she hears his battle cry. In both the series and the book, his fate is left uncertain.
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Syrio Forel" is pronounced "SEER-ee-o For-EL".

Your plants require three elements for survival: sunlight, water and nutrients.
Sunlight aids in photosynthesis, and photosynthesis produces chlorophyll, the element that gives plants their color. Water carries the chlorophyll throughout the plant, and also aids in nutrient uptake. Plant roots absorb nutrients and water from the soil to help keep the plant healthy and strong.
Milorganite's slow release nutrients are available to the plant as the plant requires it -- in adequate, but not excessive amounts.
Milorganite contains 5% organic nitrogen, 2% phosphorous and 4% iron.
Over 60% of the nitrogen in Milorganite is water insoluble, and is delivered to the roots via microbial activity. Microbial activity occurs when soil moisture is adequate and soil temperatures are between the 55-85⁰F range. When these conditions are favorable, the microbes break down the Milorganite granule into a plant available form and the nutrients are then taken up by the roots. When conditions are not favorable, Milorganite's nutrients stay in the soil until conditions are right for root uptake.
The advantage to applying slow release nutrients, like those in Milorganite, is that the nutrients are available to the plant gradually over an extended period of time. Milorganite's nutrients feed the soil on a constant basis, up to 10 weeks, which means fewer applications. This extended feeding provides more uniform growth, a deeper and better established root system, and in the case of your lawn, a thicker turf stand that is better able to fight off weeds.
The benefits don't stop there. Milorganite is very low in salts; unlike synthetic fertilizers, Milorganite's nitrogen will not burn your plants and can be applied any time during the growing season. Also because the nutrients release as the plant needs it, the nutrients are less likely to leach into waterways, which is better for the environment.

Are you mismatched in the bedroom?
Posted by Miriam | Filed under Musings
My husband and I are…uh…a bit mismatched in the bedroom ::insert blush here::
I mean…just LOOK at our bedside tables and lamps…completely mismatched. (what…you thought I meant something else?)
When we redesigned our bedroom — side note: remind me to share THAT story with you someday — we had a lot of pieces that had to stay. For the purposes of this exercise, we'll just focus on those mismatched bedside tables. They were pretty new and not going anywhere according to my husband, so we had to work with what we had to work with. The thing is…I kind-of like that they don't match. In fact, if I had my druthers, I would get a completely different piece for one side of the bed to really hit home the mismatched idea.
But, I'll be the first to admit, even though I actually prefer the mismatched look – I think it lends itself to a more lived in, less catalog style – I rarely see it in practice. So that's why I'm so excited to share these really beautiful pictures with you of other people who are mismatched in the bedroom.
I especially like the pairing of the floor lamp and the table lamp in this cozy retreat found over at Skona Hem.
With a simple color palette, these mismatched bedside tables make an organic statement. Found over at Manolo for the Home.
These tables are perfectly mismatched…and a great example of using the same bedside lamps even when the tables don't match. Also found over at Manolo for the Home.
This one's a bit more subtle…the bedside tables and the lamps are just enough different from each other to mimic balance, but retain appropriate proportions for the space. (Found at Cococozy)
And this beautiful room on Apartment Therapy is so colorful and dynamic that each side of the bed practically begs to have its own identity.
Of course, you don't have to reserve your mismatchedness for just the bedroom…you can be mismatched in the bathroom…
(found here on Pinterest…but not credited further)
…in the dining room…
…and even down to the littlest detail.
So…have YOU ever been mismatched in the bedroom?

The brother of a New York native killed in Afghanistan says his sibling and another Marine were slain by an Afghan soldier they were training.
Philip Christian tells local media that his 39-year-old brother, Staff Sgt. Eric Christian of Warwick, and another Marine were training Afghan soldiers when one of them turned on the Americans and shot them during a patrol.
The Pentagon on Monday confirmed that Christian and 23-year-old Cpl. David Sonka of Parker, CO, were killed Saturday during combat operations. They were members of a Marine Corps Special Operations Battalion based at Camp Lejeune.
Military officials haven't released details, saying the deaths are being investigated.
Christian grew up in Poughkeepsie and graduated from high school in Ramsey, N.J. His mother lives in Warwick, on the New Jersey border.

Journey of a Lifetime
Dog Island is an uninhabited offshore islet lying northwest of the Caribbean UK Overseas Territory (UKOT) of Anguilla, and is considered to be the second most important individual island for seabirds in the eastern Caribbean, despite being only about 200 ha in size.
BirdLife Partners around the world have joined with raptor conservation and research organisations to celebrate International Vulture Awareness Day.
Forestry staff from Montserrat's Department of Environment are currently in the field conducting the annual bird monitoring exercise to determine the bird populations in the island's Centre Hills Important Bird Area.
They are more exotic than the gulls, gannets and terns of Britain's home coastlines, but many of the fascinating and charismatic species of birds on the remote shores of UK overseas territories are now close to extinction. In a report to the government, the RSPB (BirdLife in the UK) warns 33 species of birds, including penguins, parrots and albatrosses, are now critically endangered across the remnants of the empire. And that means we have a duty to fulfil...
The RSPB (BirdLife in the UK) and Tesco (one of the world's top five global retailers) have announced a ground-breaking partnership called 'Together For Trees' to help protect rainforests around the world.
United Kingdom
Fifty nine Seychelles Warblers have been transferred from Cousin Island Special Reserve to Frégate Island Private thanks to a Nature Seychelles led initiative.
A new paper published by BirdLife scientists identifies those forests that appear to be the most important for bird species, and are in most urgent need of conservation.
A ground-breaking $2.3million RSPB (BirdLife in the UK) project to eliminate introduced rats from an uninhabited island in the central Pacific has attempted to remove the fingerprints of man from an otherwise idyllic tropical paradise.
The State of the UK's Birds 2011 report, recently produced by the RSPB in coalition with other British Environmental NGOs, highlights signs of dramatic changes for some wetland birds.
Europe and Central Asia
United Kingdom
Aquatic Warbler, the rarest passerine bird in mainland Europe, is facing a brighter future thanks to six years of intensive work.

Almost 17,000 people have called for the British Government to step up and honour its responsibilities to the UK Overseas Territories, which contain over 85% of the UK's globally threatened species.
Some of the world's leading experts on climate change, wildlife and natural systems gathered earlier today at the UK's Royal Society, to discuss the latest research on the ecological impacts of global warming
Ghosts of Gone Birds - an unprecedented exhibition of original art, writing and music has opened in the East End of London.
The Department of Environment Montserrat has announced a logo competition with a prize of $500 USD on offer.
A study published in the journal Oryx has found that over a third of Indian pharmacies continue to sell diclofenac to livestock farmers.
BirdLife International scientists monitoring migrating Sociable Lapwings in the heart of the Great Steppe have recently discovered the largest single flock seen in Kazakhstan since 1939.
Following the launch of an extraordinary new multi-media art exhibition - Ghosts of Gone Birds - at the Liverpool School of Art & Design earlier this year, the show has grown and evolved during the summer and will now 'manifest' in London's East End this November.

Please rate this review: Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Note: this isn't a review per se, but rather a full discussion, with video, of the plot points of the game. As such it is one huge spoiler. Do NOT read this if you intend to play the game.
The Defiant Ones
is a film about two escaped prisoners who are shackled together and must co-operate in order to survive. Sound familiar? In Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, the protagonists are two escaped prisoners who must co-operate in order that both stay alive. While the central conceit in the movie is that one prisoner is black and one is a white racist, and the setting is the American South, Enslaved's characters have a symbiotic relationship in the sense that one, Trip, is compelling the other, Monkey, to protect her at the expense of his own freedom. The story of the game, like the film, is of the developing relationship between the two, and how resentment gradually deepens into respect through shared experience.
So far so good. However, while the characters in
The Defiant Ones
are linked together physically, it is a marriage of equals in a sense, because both are prisoners. The dynamic between the characters in Enslaved is very different, as one has enslaved the other to further her own ends. The mental bond that is created by the headband is part of a one way relationship, where Trip holds the power of life or death over Monkey, and the game narrative explores the development of that relationship. However, as the game begins, the player (Monkey) is left in no doubt as to his status: he has, literally, been enslaved.
We blithely accept this enslavement as a plot device, but and so, it seems, does Monkey. In the early parts of the game he rails against his imprisonment, but those scenes are over and done with quickly, and acceptance then seems to take over as the dominant emotion. Shouldn't he be more upset? Shouldn't we feel more anger? Instead, the notion of enslavement is almost exclusively reinforced by player actions. For example, I felt that as the relationship between Monkey and Trip developed, a certain level of trust began to build. Then when Monkey gets his 'cloud' for the first time, I was encouraged to try it out, scudding over the waves below the Brooklyn Bridge. This was a lot of fun, and I sped off over the water at high speed, only to go too far away from Trip, at which point the headband was activated and I was killed. Trip killed me. After all we'd been through! I felt betrayed, and the trust that had been building was replaced by sullen anger. As far as the cutscenes went, things were developing nicely, but it took a jarring gameplay element to bring me back to my senses, and to point out that I was still Trip's to command. This was a shocking moment, but it worked wonderfully. It was interesting in that it was outside the narrative, and one would think the developers' control, but it is safe to assume that sooner or later, the player is going to discover the limits on his freedom.
As is usual with the
Cinematic Action genre
the narrative of Enslaved is progressed by means of interspersing grand action sequences with more intimate moments, which are characterised by a cinematic focus on personal interactions, with emotions conveyed by highly detailed facial expressions. I found it interesting that the developers were also able to reinforce the notion of dependency between the two characters during gameplay by using the 'Carry' mechanic, whereby Monkey could pick Trip up and protect her from danger. As the story goes on, the theme of enslavement deepens and becomes more complex through the development of this theme of dependency. It is no longer sufficient to view it as a one-way relationship, and this is thrown into stark relief when, upon finding Trip's village, she betrays Monkey when she should be granting him his freedom.
Watch from 00:00 to 00:55
Monkey's acceptance of his continuing servitude didn't sit right with me at this point. It seemed at odds with what had gone before, and my annoyance at this was an indication of my emotional involvement with the story. In the subsequent scene (above), it began to dawn on me that Monkey was a more complex character than I had given him credit for. I started to realise that I hadn't yet begun to understand the characters, other than on a wholly superficial level. Trip was selfish (leaving Monkey to die on the slave ship, enslaving him) and Monkey was an athletic hunk of meat. That was all. I think a large part of this was due to the way the developers handled the exposition of the story and the characters. The reader is drip-fed the story, but only as much as made sense within the context of two strangers meeting for the first time. There were no huge chunks of exposition, and no long speeches on the part of the characters to fill in backstory at the expense of a natural-seeming narrative. The characters are cagey, only communicating when they need to. It is at this point that I started to appreciate the maturity of the storytelling.
It is also the point at which the burgeoning relationship between Trip and Monkey begins to take centre stage. We see it first at the campfire scene before they arrive at the village, where Trip hesitantly asks Monkey what he will do with his freedom. Monkey doesn't have any concrete plans, thus raising for the first time the idea that his enslavement was something that sat a little more comfortably with him than he previously indicated. As their relationship becomes more cordial, the idea of what enslavement is also begins to morph and change. Specifically, I believe that the age old question of the nature of the relationship between men and women is dusted off and viewed in the sense of relationships themselves being a kind of servitude. I will come back to this point, but for now it is sufficient to accept that a) Trip hasn't freed Monkey, b) Monkey has accepted that with equanimity, based on his own understanding of how the world works, and c) that their relationship has moved beyond enmity to being based on mutual respect. The seeds are sown.
That's not to say that it is all plain sailing from this point onwards. Monkey continues to display a certain complexity through the ambiguity of his actions, and though his feelings may be becoming more manifest, they are immediately knocked back with the appearance of a competitor in the form of Pigsy. Pigsy is a great character, and his introduction opens up a new three-way interaction between the characters which is funny and embarrassing at the same time. His insistence on turning his rivalry with Monkey into a straight-up battle for Trip's affections is both hilarious and cringeworthy. It's straight from the school playground, yet is an exaggerated version of the male to male competition that we can all recognise. It is played for laughs, but has the power to be affecting at the same time. Monkey is now caught between two forms of slavery – Trip's headband, and Pigsy's insistence that he play out these terrible male rituals. He is truly trapped, but his maturity in the face of Pigsy's childishness and his refusal to stoop to that level again give us an insight into his personality. He's becoming a complex and mature individual. In the following key scene, this is accentuated by his clear explanation to Pigsy of the relationship between him and Trip.
Watch from 11:40 onward
While this has explanation is seemingly crystal clear, it is difficult, based on all that has gone before, for the player to accept it at face value. It is Monkey's attempt at disambiguation, but has the effect of making the player think that Monkey hasn't yet accepted that he is falling in love with Trip. But it has also lodged some doubt in the player's mind, that maybe he does think like that, and it sets up a tension of expectation for the final part of the game on the part of the player. In other words, it's a skilful use of characterisation to tell the story and give it more complexity, as well as extending the conflict between the characters and setting up the storyline for a satisfying denouement. Trip's reaction perhaps mirrors the player's and explains the conflicting emotions better than I can.
Later in the game, we are presented with an extraordinary scene. The gang of three have liberated the ultimate mech from the waters behind what may be the Hoover Dam, and are striding forth to do battle with the mysterious Pyramid Corporation. Having fulfilled his obligations, Trip offers Monkey his freedom during a quiet scene.
Watch from 11.40 onward.
And he refuses! It would be perfectly consistent with the story so far if he removed the headband but stuck around at Trip's side for the final battle, in that convention expects him to see out the story until the end. But he actually insists that the headband is turned back on. This utterly confounded me – why would a character who has had all free will removed for the entire game so far, voluntarily seek further enslavement? Yes, the terms of the enslavement have been changed by his voluntary acceptance of it, and his action certainly signifies an expression of love to Trip, but this is the point in the game where I thought that the developers may be making a deeper point about the nature of relationships. If it's a voluntary relationship, should we still assume that it is 'enslavement' of some kind? The intent of the scene is surely for Monkey to make the deepest expression of trust and love that he could to Trip. But the fact that Trip still holds the power of life and death over Monkey, and assuming that he will die if he goes too far from her side, would seem to indicate that there is a subtext about the balance of power in relationships, about how they are perceived from outside the relationship, and about the level of compromise inherent in successful relationships. As a corollary to that, by offering himself to Trip so wholly, it is possible that he receives an equal commitment back from her due to the level of dependence he shows to her. Another way of thinking about it is to reverse the roles – and I would hope that this isn't taken the wrong way - if this was a man enslaving a woman for the duration of the game, and he finally granted her freedom, which she refused, would we be shocked? At the very least, we would look back on all that has gone before in the game and reappraise the motives of the characters and the dynamics of that relationship, and view it in a new light. This is what I found myself doing in Enslaved, which is a testament to the strength of the story and the themes that it conveys.
There is a final twist in the tale, as the heroes face the might of Pyramid, who is revealed to be a simulacrum of 'one man who lived before the war', and who has been enslaving the people of the world in his own way, by offering them an alternate reality. In a neat reversal of roles, having spent the game being rescued and protected, it is now Trip's turn to rescue both Monkey and the slaves from this artificial utopia. We face a final twist on the nature of enslavement, and it is fitting that the game fades out with Trip asking, "Have I done the right thing?" To which, as with so much else in the game, the player must provide his own answer.

Fort Lauderdale, Fl, August 11, 2008 - The American Kneeboard Association National Championship announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, one of the country's leading carbon offset organizations. The AKA National Championships organizers have offset competitors', officials', and families' travel to and from the Championships, their hotel stays, meals, and all local travel and towboat pollution emitted while pulling events. The organizers have scheduled all events within a 2.5-mile radius to reduce travel and will take several additional measures to reduce the use of non-renewable resources during the Championships. The commitment establishes The American Kneeboard Association as an environmental leader in the USA Waterski community and demonstrates the proactive steps the AKA is taking in the fight against global climate change.
The American Kneeboard Association members are very concerned about global warming. With the grave implications of climate change in mind, carbon offsets through Carbonfund.org reflect a natural extension of the socially-minded work the AKA does on behalf of its members.
"Protecting the environment in our daily lives, also known as 'going green,' has become something that is on everyone's radar these days, even when it comes to kneeboarding," said George Rohner, National Kneeboard Championships Tournament Coordinator. "After checking out the credentials of Carbonfund.org and their verification/certification process, and finding out how easy it is to reduce our climate impact, it was a no brainer. I encourage individuals and all other sport disciplines to consider doing the same," said Rohner.
"It's very encouraging to see a sporting events like the National Kneeboard Championships Tournament commit to showing this kind of leadership in going green," said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "We're truly excited about this partnership."
The American Kneeboard Association is known as the leading authority of competitive kneeboarding in the United States. The AKA is a water ski discipline of USA Water Ski, the national governing body of all water skiing in the United States.
About Carbonfund.org

South Africa has a rich literary history.
In terms of quantity, the literary output is relatively modest. However, in terms of its quality, influence and reach, South African literature has an important place in the world.
Though fiction is written in all of the country's eleven official languages, most literary works are in English and Afrikaans. Out of 576 fiction titles of new and subsequent editions published in 2007, 444 were in Afrikaans, 84 in English, and the reminder in one of the African languages.
The diversity of cultures and languages in South Africa makes it difficult to speak about one national literature. The literary output of South African writers was especially resonant in its reaction to the policy of apartheid. Their contributions played an important role in the struggle against racial discrimination. Breyten Breytenbach was jailed for his involvement in the liberation movement; Andre Brink had his novels banned by the apartheid government.
The major themes in SA literature have not changed much since the abolition of apartheid in 1994; many writers are still exploring racial issues and re-investigating the past.
- Olive Schreiner's novel The Story of an African Farm (1883) is generally considered as the founding text of South African literature.
- Rider Haggard's mythical and adventure stories were enormously popular in 1880s; his most famous book, King Solomon's Mines, was filmed several times.
- The first novel by a black South African was Mhudi (completed in 1920 and published in 1930), by Solomon (Sol) Thekiso Plaatje.
- Probably the most famous South African novel to day is Cry, The Beloved Country (1948), written Alan Paton.
- Nadine Gordimer was the first South African writer to win the Nobel Prize for literature in 1991.
- In 2003, another South African writer, JM Coetzee, became a Nobel Laureate in Literature.

[CS6] [Julia Laub] I actually believe that nature inspires every generative artist. Many systems of nature like growing structures, evolutionary processes, flocking behavior--these are exactly the kinds of processes that form the foundation for many algorithms in generative design. I'm Julia Laub, and I'm an information designer. Onformative is a generative design agency. My partner is Cedric Kiefer. I'm Cedric Kiefer. I'm part of Onformative. I don't want to sound too nerdy, but there is something about math and formulas and algorithms that are fascinating. [♪ Music ♪] What we do is new to a lot of people. The difference between generative design and traditional design is actually how you approach the project and start at the very beginning. Instead of defining how something might look you try to define some rules how it might behave. You're working a whole world of possibilities. You're working on a whole system that you can shape and form and influence, so it's about creating choices and making choices. [Julia Laub] I believe that we are completely overwhelmed by data in our lives. The mission of the designer is to make the important data visible while filtering out the rest. [Cedric Kiefer] Talking about data doesn't mean that you have to supply an access sheet or a list of numbers. It's always about telling a story, and data could be actually everything from raw numbers to the movement of the mouse to the movement of your whole body, sound, or even emotion. Everything could be data, so everything could be visualized and turned into art. The Growing Data Project started as a personal project exploring the possibilities of imitating nature and combining principles from nature and load data into them and make them behave differently depending on the data set. The Skype poster is a real personal project to me and Julia because it's not using some data that was brought to us by a client but data that was collected by ourselves throughout the years, actually since we first met. It started with our first discussion on Skype 3 years ago, and there is everything in it from the moment when we decided to found the agency up to the creation of the poster itself. [♪ Music ♪] [Julia Laub] We experiment a lot. We have an area in our agency that we call the lab. [Cedric Kiefer] It always helps us to get to know new techniques, and even if it's not needed for a commercial project yet you just get to know the technique, and when it comes up and it's needed than you've got it, got it ready and can use it right away. [Speaking German] It's not like you are starting from zero over every time you start a new project. You're definitely building up on projects you have done before. There's no day where we don't use Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. It's just an important part of the design process. Besides that, we're definitely standing on the shoulders of giants by using code that is published by the open source community, and all the tools we are using are free to use, and we're using a lot of libraries that are supplied by people who develop them. And on the other hand, we are trying to give something back to the community as well by publishing our code and doing workshops and teaching a lot. It's the combination of writing your own tools and using the already existing tools, and that's what we do in our job. [Julia Laub] Generative design allows us to do things that other designers can't do. What interests me is that it's such a young discipline. One of the things I really hope for is that our agency continues as it is now, that we will continue to experiment and keep having fun with our work, and, most importantly, that we make time to pass our acquired knowledge on to the next generation.

Enamel miniatures, Master Minute Repeater Vénus
A hand-enamelled dial with its motif inspired from paintings representing the goddess Venus. After the dial has undergone four passes in the furnace, the enamellers mix the various oxides in oil that they then use to paint the miniature using extremely fine brushes. The part is then fired several times in a furnace. It takes several weeks' painstaking work to produce a single part.

The Polaris V8 is a 4-door muscle car in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
The Polaris, with its strongly 1970s-like design, appears to resemble a Ford Maverick or an AMC Matador with a grill that resembles a Dodge Challenger muscle coupe with the front indicator and headlights switched , but both cars are two-doors as opposed to the Polaris' four doors.Its four door configuration comes from the second generation Matador. The car is only available in one color scheme, a black body with orange stripes and a white roof.
In terms of engine power, the Polaris V8 is a good muscle car, due to its implied V8 engine and it's turbocharged, allowing it to achieve good top speeds courtesy of its good acceleration. While the car may occasionally suffer from burnouts during cornering due to its rear wheel drive and powerful torque, the car is still fairly good in turns, especially when the handbrake is applied. its four-door design is also excellent for those who want to hire gang members to perform drive-bys on enemy gangs.
Its performance is possibly similar to that of the Mafia Sentinel, Sentinel XS, and the GTA III rendition of the Cartel Cruiser.
- It is one of the vehicles needed for the Civil Asset Forfeiture Impound.
- The vehicle can be found outside of the prostitution businesses.
- Parked along the road in the northern part of Washington Beach's northern island. Go along the road that extends from the fairground and the Polaris V8 appears in front of the rows of houses.
- Parked in front of houses in a dead end just north of the The Clymenus Suite safehouse in Vice Point.

Economics and environmentalism are types of modern religions. So says Robert H.

Let me ask the question a different way:
What is it about a $150 seat that makes it worth 10 times what a $15 seat costs?
Make your mind up
While I agree with you about that wholeheartedly, I mean for those participating to ponder what is it that makes the difference and share.
quote:Same here, upper deck row 1, mid court. What section you in?
. I'm a upper corner guy. I `cheat' since I'm in row 1, but I'm an upper bowl guy. I think I always will be.
quote:I'm such a trashy person
I'll be sure to report that to the Hornets and NOPD that your gf is sneaking in waters and thus pissing off the patrons who have to pay $4 for a bottled water. You should feel ashamed.
LAwhoDat: Tell me what you think about this, my history. I'm a upper corner guy. I `cheat' since I'm in row 1, but I'm an upper bowl guy. I think I always will be.
I've snuck down there in the past and saw not enough pluses (for me) to justify the price, risk, or loss of my social circle upstairs. I've also bought the cheap tickets as a `treat' for someone who wanted to come to a game, etc. Still nothing. I've had a 4 top notch club seats given to me. Nice on the part of the client, but nothing. I got courtside for a game. Novel, but nothing.
Clearly, not all of this is related to sneaking, but I'm laying it all out there so people can add what they think or like about the lower and upper bowls.
you're right on top of the action, but depending on where you're sitting you sometimes cannot see all that is going on.
I do think, noted above, that it's novel and a nice treat, but I'm just an upper bowl guy.
It's takes both types to (happily) fill the Arena, so cheers.
quote:Thanks man- I was given LSU/Ole Miss tickets so I'll be in BR all weekend. I gave my hornets tickets to my pops. I'm over in 315.
I'll save a pair for you Friday or Saturday if you want to come see how the other half lives, TTT!
I know you have tickets, but that way you won't be lapping up.
quote:I agree with this but being on row 1, I don't have this problem
also I forgot to mention, the biggest flaw with the Arena is the upper bowl seats are extremely tight together where as the lower bowl is much more comfortable. even for people of normal size the upper bowl seats are offer little to no leg room
I agree with this but being on row 1, I don't have this problem

text: Bus lines for company personnel Aware of the importance of facilitating travel for its staff members in a region characterised by the scattered nature of its habitat, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been actively supporting carpool schemes for many years, an approach that has significantly reduced car traffic in the Vallée de Joux. Since October 2007, the Manufacture has also set up a bus service for which it entirely covers the operating costs. Two bus routes currently run and are intended to provide staff with a safe and pleasant means of commuting from home to the Manufacture in the morning and the other way around in the evening, over distances of ranging between 35 to 50 kilometres. Studies indicate the carpooling and the bus routes serve to keep 270 cars off the road, each of which would cover a distance of around 50 kilometres on around 220 days per year. The total number of kilometres reduced amounts to approximately 3 million per year – thereby making a major contribution to reducing traffic-related air pollution! - To discover the bus system set up by Jaeger-LeCoultre, check the /responsability/personnel. First prize in the "Cantonal Mobility Prize" in 2008 The Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre has been awarded the cantonal mobility prize. This prize, presented by Canton Vaud, rewards efforts by companies to provide transport for their employees. The company's initiative in reducing traffic by finding alternative solutions has thus been singled out as an example.
