Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Due to some problem I run chkdsk on my Windows Xp computer that deleted or corrupted few system files due to which my windows topped working. So I thought to repair windows for fixing those corrupted or deleted files. Hence I borrowed an installation disk from my friend which is a slipstreamed xp sp3 CD. Followed a installation repair guide by Doug Knox on Microsoft site.
Now the problem is here. There was a step in the guide where I need to press F8 to accept user agreement. Well, I did that but after this I was not able to press R that repairs the installation. After few minutes it directly jumped to setup window where we need to create or format partition for new installation.
Well, I dont want to do a fresh installation as there are enough data stored on my C drive. Do you guys have any idea why am not able to repair my system ?

James bounced back from the cramps that forced him out of the opener to lead the Miami Heat to a 98-96 win and even the series.
He went both inside and outside to hit 14 of 22 shots, including all three from beyond the arc, grab 10 rebounds and deliver a key assist down the stretch to secure the win.
"He carried us," said Heat guard Ray Allen. "He made some big shots. I don't think they had an answer for him and he got it going. And we needed every bit of it."
James was misfiring early on Sunday, making just one of his first four shots and committing three turnovers.
But in the second quarter, he had 11 points, 14 more in the third, and eight in the fourth. He scored mostly inside in the first half before finding his jump shot in the second.
"In the first half, I got into the paint, made some shots, got some rebounds, put pressure on their defence," said James. "In the second half they backed up off me and I shot it."
With San Antonio leading 93-92 and giving their full attention to James, the four-time NBA MVP delivered a nifty pass to Chris Bosh, who nailed a three-pointer with 1:18 left.
"It was rewarding in that it was a huge play to help us win," said James.
"I'd just seen it develop the whole time, and I wanted to try to put some pressure towards the rim, and I caught Tim Duncan peeking at me a little bit.
"I was able to find C.B. in the corner in one of his favourite spots on the floor and he knocked it down."
A foul shot by James and a Dwyane Wade lay-up with nine seconds left gave the Heat a 98-93 lead before a three-pointer at the buzzer by the Spurs' Manu Ginobili made the score closer than it actually was.
"LeBron with the ball did a great job at his end and we had to be really pretty perfect at the other end and we (weren't)," said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. "We didn't take advantage of things, we made bad decisions.
"We didn't do it as a group. We tried to do it individually and we're not good enough to do that."
San Antonio guard Danny Green said James was making 'contested jumpers' but the Spurs failed to alter their defence.
"We didn't expect him to shoot that well but he got hot," he said. "That's what stars do in this league. You've got to make adjustments."
San Antonio was hurt by poor foul shooting, hitting only 12 of 20, including just two of six in the pivotal fourth quarter.
"We lost a game, we not going to hang out heads," said Duncan, who scored 11 points in the opening quarter but only seven the rest of the way.
"We're going to regroup. We know we can play better."
Tony Parker led San Antonio with 21 points, followed by Ginobili with 19 and Duncan with 18.
The Spurs won the first game of the finals, 110-95, in San Antonio and the series now shifts to Miami for the next two games.

IPPL Printer FAQ
What is 3D Printing?
3D printing is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 3D printing is achieved using an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes. An object is literally built layer upon layer.
How is 3D Printing Used?
3D printing is used in a variety of fields, from DIYers with desktop printers to corporations using commercial printers to create prototypes of new products and customized items.
How does the 3D printer work?
The MakerBot Replicator 2 makes solid, three dimensional objects out of melted MakerBot PLA Filament. Your 3D design files are translated into instructions for the MakerBot printer. The printer heats the PLA Filament and squeezes it out through a nozzle to make a solid object layer by layer. This method is called Fused Filament Fabrication.
How much does it cost to print something?
.10 cents per gram with a minumum charge of $1.00.
Can I bring in a file and watch it being printed now?
If you fill out the form today, it may or may not get printed right away. Print Jobs can take from 20 minutes to 8 hours or longer. Due to the amount of time it takes to print, the amount of requests received and staff availability we can not guarantee your print job will be ready on a specific day. You will be contacted when your print is available for pick up.
Can I use the 3D printer and print it myself?
Our Technology Services Staff are the ones that will do the actual print. Once you turn in your file, they will print it for you.
What kinds of objects can I print?
Anything except offensive material or weapons. We review every object file before it is printed. See 3D printer Policy.
How can I turn in a 3D print file?
You can submit using this form linked on this page.
How big of an object can I print?
The 3D printer has a print area of 11.2 inches length x 6 inches high x 6.1 inches wide.
Printing is done by library staff. Priority is given to library programs and events.

For wildflowers and saplings in Pennsylvania's forests, Bambi may well be Public Enemy Number One. The overpopulation of white-tailed deer contributes to a host of problems. Deer can turn a native plant into an invasive one, stop the regeneration of a forest understory dead in its tracks, and yes…they can even encourage colonies of voracious rodents. Who knew one friendly-looking woodland creature could wreak so much havoc?
Today's presentation from "Preserving Pittsburgh's Trees: Action and Recovery" is courtesy of University of Pittsburgh professor Dr. Walter Carson, who works in the fields of Plant Community Ecology and Tropical and Temperate Forest Ecology. He shares some fascinating information about how the deer imbalance in the ecosystem leads to the dominance of only a few plant species and keeps the cycle of canopy regeneration from functioning properly.
Check out Dr. Carson's presentation below, or download the slides only here.

May 28, 2016
A year after the deadliest plant shooting in Mississippi, a federal lawsuit has been filed by 47 Lockheed Martin employees and relatives of employees claiming the company ignored numerous complaints that Doug Williams threatened to kill black co-workers months before the shootings.
The lawsuit was filed Friday in United States District Court in Jackson against Lockheed Martin. The plaintiffs claim that Lockheed managers failed to protect their employees and ignored signs of Doug Williams' instability. They are being represented by Meridian attorney Bill Ready, Sr.
On July 8, 2003 Doug Williams opened fire and killed five co-workers, injured eight and then killed himself.
There had been speculation the shooting was racially motivated. Five of the six people Williams killed were black and of the eight wounded three were black.
Stay tuned to Newscenter 11 for continuing coverage this week of the anniversary of that tragic day.

At least a dozen police officers and firefighters worked Sunday afternoon to get a 26-year-old man to come out of the Columbia River at Vancouver Landing.
It took three firefighters in the water and a fire rescue boat to finally remove him from the river shortly after 3 p.m.
The man was standing waist deep in the river with his head down. He was about 15 feet from the shore and 40 feet from the dock near the Red Lion Hotel Vancouver at the Quay.
Starting about 2 p.m., Vancouver police Cpl. Greg Zimmerman began urging the man to come out of river.
"Mark, can you hear me?" Zimmerman called to the man, who did not respond. "We can't leave you here."
Zimmerman continually told the man he wanted to help. Throughout the ordeal, the man refused to talk to rescuers.
After efforts failed to get the man to come out of the river, firefighters in rescue gear brought him to the strip of shoreline.
No one seemed to know what caused the man's actions. He stood catatonic in the river with his arms held at his sides. From time to time he would, shudder. He was barefooted.
Zimmerman and Vancouver police officers John Key and Brett Bailey worked their way down the steep rocky slope to the shore, below a parking lot near the amphitheater.
Soon, they were joined by fire Capt. Dave Sturbelle and Firefighters Jesse Weyrauch, Tommy Fieweger and Dan Lawson.
A Multnomah County, Ore., sheriff's boat responded with Deputies Bret Lort and Scott McDowell and Sgt. Wayne Lofton.
It turned the boat was not needed but the Multnomah officers joined Vancouver Firefighter Joe Spatz in Fire Rescue Boat 1 to get the man from the shore to the dock.
An AMR crew including Lisa Schauer and Haili Vance took the man to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center.
Several onlookers, including fishermen, were on and above the dock during the more than one-hour effort.
The man's name was not released.
Vancouver police Sgt. Kathy McNicholas said there were no indication of any criminal activity tied to the man.

By editor • May 23, 2014
Originally published on May 23, 2014 3:07 pm
On this installment of Latin Roots from World Cafe, writer and producer Rachel Faro discusses one of her heroes, bass player Juan Formell. Formell led the Cuban band Los Van Van for almost 45 years, and was one of its remaining original members when he died on May 1 at 71. The band is now led by Formell's son, Samuel. Faro praises Los Van Van's ability to reflect the changes in Cuban society over the years, while still keeping things moving.

By Cal Athletics on Wed, July 17, 2013 Related Links U.S. Amateur Public Links Twitter: @CalMensGolf @CalMensGolf LORTON, Va. – Junior Michael Kim posted an 8 & 6 victory over Brandon Hortt in a Round of 64 match Wednesday at the 2013 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship.

The winner will play again Thursday in a Round of 16 match at 1:20 p.m. ET/10:20 a.m. PT against the winner of a Round of 32 match between Mitchell Rutledge and Nick Sherwood. Kim won eight holes without dropping one Thursday during a match against Hortt that ended after 12 holes. After the players halved the par-four first hole with bogeys, Kim would win six consecutive holes to take control of the match. Hortt bogeyed the par-four second to give Kim his first lead before Kim posted back-to-back birdies on the par-four third and par-three fourth to go ahead by three holes. After a Hortt bogey on the par-four fifth, Kim put up another back-to-back birdies again on the par-four sixth and seventh holes to go ahead by six. Kim would pick up another hole with a birdie on the par-four 10th and Hortt ran out of holes when he bogeyed the par-four 12th.

Publisher's Description
When your life is over, everything you did will be represented by a single dash between two dateswhat will that dash mean for the people you have known and loved?
As Joseph Epstein once said, We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents, or the country of our birth. We do not, most of us, choose to die. . . . But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live. And that is what The Dash is all about.
Beginning with an inspiring poem by Linda Ellis titled The Dash, renowned author Mac Anderson then applies his own signature commentary on how the poem motivates us to make certain choices in our liveschoices to ignore the calls of selfishness and instead reach out to others, using our God-given abilities to brighten their days and lighten their loads.
After all, at the end of life, how we will be rememberedwhether our dash represents a full, joyous life of seeking Gods glory, or merely the space between birth and deathwill be entirely up to the people weve left behind, the lives weve changed.

The 39th overall pick in this year's Draft debuted in mid-June in the Rookie-level Arizona League, where he proceeded to set the league record for home runs at 18 in 43 games.
Then Sunday, in his fourth game since a callup to Class A Short-Season Spokane, he belted his first two longballs and drove in seven runs in his home debut to lead the Indians in a 16-4 rout of the Tri-City Dust Devils.
"It was unbelievable. I can't even explain it, I was just so excited to have a game like that," said the 18-year-old. "It was an amazing atmosphere, first game I played there, so I didn't really know what to expect. But there was like 4,000 people there. I didn't really get to notice anything, just take in the moment and enjoy it."
Gallo was taken in the first round in June by the Rangers out of Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) High School, and made his first professional appearance June 20 in the AZL after signing with Texas.
The 6-foot-5-inch, 205-pound third baseman went 0-for-5 in his first three games, but showcased his other commodity -- patience -- by walking nine times. He then hit his first home run in his fourth pro game, the first of his record-setting 18.
He finished with a .293 average in 150 at-bats with the AZL Rangers, adding 10 doubles, 37 walks and 52 strikeouts to post a .435 on-base percentage and a .733 slugging percentage, earning him the callup to the Indians.
In his brief introduction to the Northwest League, he's displayed that same power/patience combination.
"I've been happy with what I'm showing power-wise," he said. "I couldn't imagine how many home runs I would hit in the AZL and stuff. I definitely didn't come in thinking I would've done that.
"I didn't expect to come out and be a star, I wanted to just have fun and try and enjoy my first year. Let things fall into play, take it day by day."
After Sunday's outburst, Gallo is hitting. 313 for Spokane with a .389 OBP and a .750 slugging mark. Overall this season, he's hitting .295 with 20 home runs and 50 RBIs between the two levels.
The Nevada native said the first thing he noticed about professional ball was just how much work it actually was.
"Playing every day now, traveling, being at the field sometimes 10 hours a day, it's been a grind," he said. "I was very surprised at how much work it is. I knew it would be tough, but you don't really see that when you watch a baseball game, how much goes into it. It definitely has its rewards though."
Gallo added that, for now, he's just enjoying soaking in the Spokane atmosphere and learning as much as he can.
"There's not many people there to watch the games [in the Arizona League], just scrimmages to get your feet wet," he said. "It helped me a lot, being able to adjust to the pitching from high school and get a feel for pro baseball. But it's night and day [between the AZL and Spokane], going from playing in front of 10 people to 4,000 people.
"I'm ecstatic. I wanted to play in Spokane for a while, I knew how great of a team it is and what the atmosphere is like. I'm real excited."
Left fielder Royce Bolinger also went 3-for-5 with a triple, three RBIs and three runs scored while extending his hitting streak to 20 games. Christopher Garia added three hits, including a double, four runs and an RBI.
Connor Sadzeck (1-3) picked up the win, scattering two unearned runs on one hit and four walks while fanning four over six innings.

An association of cruise-ship companies filed a lawsuit Friday challenging Alaska's head tax on the approximately 1 million cruise-ship passengers who visit Alaska each year.
ANCHORAGE — An association of cruise-ship companies filed a lawsuit Friday challenging Alaska's head tax on the approximately 1 million cruise-ship passengers who arrive in the state each year.
The Alaska Cruise Association filed a federal lawsuit seeking relief from the $50 fee imposed on each passenger arriving aboard large cruise ships. Alaska voters approved the fee in 2006.
"We feel that the entry fee as implemented is illegal and that Alaskans are being hurt by the tax, and that the court system is the best venue to resolve the issues," said John Binkley, Alaska Cruise Association president.
He said the per-passenger head tax has contributed to a decline in cruise-ship passengers visiting Alaska.

The association argues that the head tax far exceeds the expenses the state incurs in providing services and facilities to cruise ships, and in some cases the money is going to fund projects that do not directly benefit cruise-ship passengers.
The association's members include nine cruise lines, including Carnival Cruise Lines, Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line and Princess Cruises.
Alaska Attorney General Dan Sullivan said the state will fight the lawsuit.
"The cruise-ship industry has been threatening to sue the state ever since Alaska citizens voted to require passengers to pay their fair share of the costs of services and facilities provided to host them," Sullivan said. "The Department of Law will vigorously defend the state in this lawsuit."
The lawsuit was filed against Patrick Galvin, the state's revenue commissioner, who is responsible for collecting the fee. It alleges the fee violates federal constitutional and statutory protections limiting permissible charges to a vessel or its passengers.
The association is seeking relief from $46 of the $50 per-passenger head tax. The tax passed by voter initiative in 2006 includes a $4 fee to operate an environmental-monitoring program that put observers aboard ships.
Joe Geldhof, the Juneau lawyer who helped craft the 2006 initiative, said the cruise-ship industry's lawyers and lobbyists decided not to participate when the Legislature was deciding how to spend the head-tax money.
"Now they hire a bunch of high-toned lawyers to grumble and complain about this," he said.
The lawsuit is not about the legality of the head tax but how the Legislature is spending the money, Geldhof said.
The lawsuit says Alaska voters were sold the head tax as a way to make out-of-state visitors pay for government projects not directly related to cruise-ship visitors — an idea it says was not lost on the Alaska Legislature.
Projects funded with head-tax money include constructing a dock in Valdez to accommodate smaller cruise ships, whose passengers aren't charged the tax, and reconstruction of the Saxman Community Hall, the lawsuit says.
It says money went to state parks and road-and-sidewalk improvements in eight communities, as well as to the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum; the Alaska Zoo; a bear sanctuary for education, awareness and research; an exhibit gallery at the visitors center in Fairbanks; a railroad station in Wasilla; and convention centers in Anchorage and Fairbanks.

Law Firm 'Awash with Cash' Legal Aid Fraud Trial Told of Sophisticated Share-Out System
Luck, Deborah, The Birmingham Post (England)
A Midland solicitor's firm at the centre an an alleged pounds 2.25 million fraud was "awash with cash" after thousands of bogus claims were submitted to the Legal Aid Board, a court heard.
Accounts show Alan Pritchard's firm was completing "huge amounts" of legal aid work which was "virtually" bringing in all the income.
Pritchard, Peter Lane and Brian O'Connor are accused of abusing the green form scheme which allows those on benefits or low incomes up to two hours of free help or advice from a solicitor.
The trio are accused of "conning" members of the public into signing blank forms which were later filled in with "fictitious figures" and "made up" information and submitted to the Legal Aid Board.
One of the methods said to have been used was to target people who called at the firm's Wolverhampton branch which acted as a letting agency.
The court heard people were asked to sign forms either as part of an application process to see houses or, if on benefit, to claim cash for the cost of services. And when the Legal Aid Board became suspicious, records were made up to give the appearance work or advice had gone ahead.
Yesterday Birmingham Crown Court was told of details of the firm's accounts during the time of the alleged deception from April 1993 to April 1994.
Mr Melbourne Inman QC, prosecuting, said the Legal Aid Board paid Pritchard's practice, called Pritchard and Co, more than pounds 2.25 million for work said to have been carried out, which compared with pounds 35,000 just two years earlier.
"The firm was virtually running on green form work. The huge amounts of money were simply being spilt between the three," he said. "With the phenomenal amount of money coming in, money was not a problem, the firm was awash with cash."
Pritchard (53), of College Road, New Oscott, Birmingham; Lane (56), of Wast Hills Lane, Hopwood, Worcestershire, and O'Connor (40), of Buttons Farm Road, Penn, Wolverhampton, all deny one charge of conspiracy to defraud.
Mr Inman said Lane worked from the firm's Birmingham branch, in Corporation Street, and O'Connor the Wolverhampton office, in North Street.
The two are said to have concentrated on getting blank forms signed which were then processed through Pritchard's practice with the cash paid into his legal aid account.
Lane and O'Connor are thought to have been paid half the amount claimed from each of the bogus forms they brought in while Pritchard received the rest, it was alleged. …

Taking care of the land is a core value here in Montana. The beautiful open prairie in Wolf Point, where I live, embodies what it means to live in Big Sky country, and there is no place I would rather be.
That is part of what inspired me to run for state representative and what drives me to work on behalf of my constituents.
One issue I hear about frequently is energy development and the impacts from it, positive and negative. The boost in jobs, economic opportunity and revenue have undeniably had positive impacts on many parts of eastern Montana. But there are negative impacts too.
Affects on infrastructure
When you head east, you will see a large number of oil trucks on the highway. The impact to the local infrastructure is causing concern for many county commissioners in my area. Increasing numbers of deep potholes damage vehicles in a variety of ways, and these deteriorating roads cause extra costs to Montanans and other travelers. These conditions also contribute to motor vehicle accidents exacerbated by slow-moving farm equipment frustrating urgent truckers.
Stress on sewer systems and sewer lagoons cause by the influx of transient workers has also added to the financial burden of local communities. Increases in crime due to the rising number of transient workers caused a need to expand law enforcement capacity to address drug violations, violent crimes, and prostitution. We are not getting the funds to address these public safety needs.
As energy development inevitably continues across our region, it is essential that common sense policies are adopted and updated to ensure that development happens in a responsible way. State, tribal and federal officials have to work together to find solutions that protect our small towns. The land, air and water we depend on should not be compromised.
That is why, two weeks ago, I went to Washington, D.C., to talk to our elected leaders and key members of the administration about the importance of ensuring that energy development is done responsibly. During a meeting at the Department of Interior, which oversees all oil and gas development on public lands, we asked that the department minimize impacts on public lands, recreational opportunities and wildlife habitat that result from oil and gas development. Protecting these values is key to protecting our way of life in Montana.
Care for public lands
I am extremely pleased that Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell ordered a report on mitigating impacts from development on public lands. This report, released this month, outlines actions the department will take to ensure that when development occurs on public lands, efforts are taken to minimize the impacts.
This is a step in the right direction.
I look forward to Jewell carrying out her commitment to landscape-level planning for development. When we are using the best available technologies to extract record levels of oil and gas from beneath our feet, we ought to also be using the best available science and technology to avoid the most serious of impacts to our land and wildlife. By looking at energy development on a larger scale, it is possible to make smarter decisions that are less disruptive for wildlife and our communities while still creating jobs and benefiting our economy.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

2006 Mini Cooper (2 Reviews)
This is a really reliable car. It's not quite as reliable as the 2007, which was a major model upgrade and has much more BMW parts in it, but it's still a great car that doesn't spent much time in the repair shop. Compared to my Mazda MX6, it was more reliable.
Great car. Mine is a Cooper S with the JCW air intake/exhaust add-on. Fun to drive. Plenty of front seat legroom (and I'm 6'2"). Rear seat is usable in a pinch, even by me, if the person in front moves the seat up a bit. The supercharged engine has plenty of pep. In fact, I used to have an early '80s Porsche 911 and this car is almost just as fun to drive as the Porsche! Just be careful of the terrific torque steer to the right when starting aggressively from a standing stop. This thing will squeal the tires in the first 3 gears without really trying. So far, it's been reliable and low-cost on the maintenance. There are some interior rattles, but nothing obnoxious yet. If you are thinking of buying a MINI, you need to know they do NOT come with a spare tire, so they are equipped with run-flat tires that are expensive to replace. That wasn't a deal breaker for me, though.

2012-03-27 - Dutch symphonic metallers EPICA have hit the charts worldwide with their new masterpiece "Requiem For The Indifferent" :
Holland #12
Switzerland #14
France #25
Germany #26
Austria #33
Portugal #36
Norway #37
Finland #37
Sweden #53
Czech #49
Belgium #45
Japan #172
EPICA also issued the following statement: "It is with sadness that we announce that Yves Huts and Epica have decided to part ways. Yves has been with us from the start and has been of great value to the band. We thank Yves for his contribution to Epica's success and wish him the very best in his future career, whether musically or in a different direction. We will never forget the good times together on the road!"
Yves himself comments as follows: "The 013 in Tilburg is the venue where we did our first show with Epica and, almost a decade later, also my last. I'm leaving the band because I have another career opportunity that is not combinable with the schedule of a world touring band. I've tried to live these 2 different lives simultaneously for as long as I could but in the end I just had to make a choice, one of the most difficult ones in my life. I look back to these 10 years in Epica satisfied and enriched with life experience. As a founding member I'm proud of what we've achieved so far and I'm sure the future has a lot more great things in store for the band. I would like to thank the band, crew, fans and everybody else involved for the good times and I wish my successor good luck. Those of you that might be interested in any possible future musical plans of mine can visit my artist page on http://www.facebook.com/yves.huts.official
Kind regards,
Yves Huts"
On the part of the band it says: "The silver lining to this cloud is that we can already announce an awesome successor. Fulfilling duties on bass from now on will be none other than Rob van der Loo. You might know Rob from his work with MaYaN or Delain. We are sure that Rob will fit perfectly as a musician and as a person, and we are looking forward to share the stage for the first time next week."
Rob van der Loo on this: "A few days ago I spoke to Yves and he brought back a memory from the time when Epica was still just a support band for one of my former bands. At that time he would never have guessed that almost ten years later I'd be his successor in Epica.... Well, neither did I... but I'm damn proud of it!
I've been sharing the stage with the people of Epica for almost ten years now, and becoming a member of MaYaN last year brought us even closer. So making this decision to join Epica feels pretty good. Therefore I want to show my gratitude to the band members (including Yves) and the crew for allowing me in the Epica family!See you guys on the road! I won't let you down!

"time has stopped & history has been frozen" Udabno by josephescu
Udabno Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 113 photos
Just 60 km south east of T'bilisi, on the half-desert slopes of mount Gareja on the border with Azerbaijan, there are around 20 rock-cut monasteries founded between the 6th – 9th centuries. These complexes are known as David Gareji monasteries, and the region is called Udabno. (aka desert or uninhabitable in Georgian).
While the area was in fact inhabited during the second and first millennia BC, as archaeological finds relating to mining and metallurgical activities attest, occupation then ceased until a monastic community was established here in the 6th century, under the leadership of the monk known as David Garejeli, one of the so-called "13 Syrian Fathers".
These 13 Syrian Fathers, probably Georgians who received ecclesiastic education in Syria, launched monastic activities in different parts of Georgia to strengthen the Christian faith, legend says responding the call of Virgin Mary.
6th -century – first monastery (the Lavra) founded by David Garejeli
6th-9th century – other monasteries appeared, the Lavra developed
11th century – invaded by Seljuk Turks
11th – 13th century - economic and cultural development of David Gareji reached its peak. New monasteries Udabno, Bertubani and Chichkhituri were built, the old ones were enlarged and well organized. Renaissance of fresco painting.
13th century – Mongol invasion, monasteries revived only a century later
1615 – Persian army under the command of Iranian Shah Abbas killed all 600 monks and set fire to all manuscripts and religious works of art
1690 – monastic life revived
1811 – 1917 – monasteries remained uninhabited, following the abolition of the autocephaly of the Georgian orthodox church, as a result of Russian annexation of the Eastern Georgian kingdom of Kartl –Kakheti
1918 – 1921 – short independence of Georgia brought monks to David Gareji monasteries
1922 – 1980 – monasteries uninhabited
- Pros:serenity & solitude
- Cons:awful road to Davit Gareji
- In a nutshell:definitely not just another cave complex

New London — Two projects that could change the way people get around downtown received City Council approval last week.
A plan to redesign the Eugene O'Neill Drive parking lots would give the back sides of large commercial buildings on Bank Street a second front door, which could be used for new businesses.
A long-discussed pedestrian link from downtown could get closer to neighborhoods to the south with a proposed walkers' and cyclists' pathway from Waterfront Park almost to the Shaw's Cove rail crossing.
The Office of Development and Planning (ODP) has applied for a $500,000 state Main Street Investment Fund grant that would be used to make the municipal parking lots on Eugene O'Neill Drive more appealing and accessible and to transform the portion of the street between State and Tilley streets from "a high speed thoroughfare" to a more pedestrian-friendly road.
It would decrease the number of off-street parking spaces, but officials think it would make it easier for visitors and residents to find parking in convenient locations.
The project, if approved by the state Department of Housing, would include better signage, traffic-calming measures, decorative lighting, enhanced pedestrian connections, landscaping and fencing.
"One of the overarching ideas behind the grant program is to fund public infrastructure that will leverage economic development," City Planner Harry Smith said.
Revitalized municipal lots with upgraded pedestrian connections to the surrounding commercial areas could prompt new businesses to open in buildings with back entrances on the lots, Smith said.
"We're really hoping this project, and we've seen this in other communities, will provide some of these buildings on Bank Street that back up to the lots essentially two frontages," he said.
The City Council on Monday unanimously authorized the grant application. ODP applied for, but did not receive, the same grant in 2012.
By redesigning the municipal lots and making it easier for drivers to get to them, city officials hope to "capture new visitors who may be unfamiliar with downtown's parking locations and traffic pattern."
"One common complaint is that there isn't any parking," ODP wrote in its grant application. "But the real issue is that there aren't any signs directing visitors to parking and from their cars once they are parked."
The project would include the installation of "way finding" signs to direct visitors to downtown businesses, restaurants and landmarks.
"The project will provide better signage in appropriate locations on cross streets, making parking easier to find, enabling visitors to spend more time and money in New London's restaurants, shops, art galleries and performance venues," ODP wrote in the application, "which will be key in sustaining, revitalizing and growing the city's economy."
The reconfiguration would result in a net loss of about 70 parking spaces, Smith said. Currently, there are about 240 spaces between the two lots.
The plan also calls for an artists' walkway, which would link the parking lots with Bank Street and include public artwork, to be established in the alley between the Bulkeley House Saloon and New London Ink.
The second project, which is still in its infancy, calls for a multiuse path to connect Waterfront Park and an existing path that runs along Shaw's Cove, bringing the city one step closer to connecting its northern neighborhoods and its downtown to Fort Trumbull.
The Economic Development Commission hopes to fully fund the design phase of the project through grants from National Recreational Trails Program and the PeopleForBikes Community Grant Program. The City Council on Monday voted unanimously to support the grant applications.
The path "will allow the public a non-motorized link that would provide opportunities in our urban center to enjoy water views, pursue fitness goals, showcase Connecticut waterfront, and provide venues for ... events that New London holds each year," Abel A. Donka, a member of the city's Economic Development Commission, wrote in a supplement to the grant application.
In 2003, the Connecticut Greenways Council made the 3.5-mile stretch of sidewalk between Connecticut College and City Pier an official state greenway. Waterfront Park stretches another half-mile from City Pier to Bank Street Connector.
The proposed multiuse path would be built on top of the existing hurricane barrier that runs along the Thames River between Bank Street Connector and Sparyard Street.
At Sparyard Street, the path would join the Shaw's Landing Condominium River Walk, a walking path developed in conjunction with the 2004 construction of the condominiums.
If the city is awarded the grant funding, the first phase of the project would begin next spring. Then, the city would apply for additional grant funding in 2017 to pay for the construction of the path. Construction could be completed in 2018, to coincide with the opening of the national U.S. Coast Guard Museum.
