Zahra Baker's killer sentenced for drug distribution
STATESVILLE, IREDELL COUNTY (WSOC) - The North Carolina woman, already in prison for the death of her stepdaughter, Zahra Baker, was sentenced to more time behind bars after pleading guilty to a federal drug charge.
Elisa Baker was sentenced Monday to 10 years of federal prison time, that will run after the 18 years of state time for 10-year-old Zahra's death.
Elisa Baker didn't say anything as she was led in handcuffs into the Statesville Federal Courthouse Monday morning. Prosecutors said she helped distribute more than 50,000 prescription pills for pain and anxiety during a four-year period.
The federal case grew out of the investigation into Zahra Baker's death in the fall of 2010.
Elisa Baker became ill during the sentencing and could not stand up.
For that reason, Eyewitness News learned, the district attorney in Catawba County and the lead investigators in Zahra Baker's murder all were at the hearing Monday afternoon.

Intelligence required by all involved. Citizen's life put at risk by reckless behaviour.
Ferrovial/Siac Construction with the support of An Garda Shiochána are today engaging in the reckless endangerment of the life of an Irish Citizen.
This morning at 08.45 I received a call to inform me that a force of at least 15 Gardai was approaching the Front-Line fortification on the esker of the Rath Lugh National Monument. They were supported today by approximately 25-30 Ferrovial/Siac construction workers, office staff/tunnel-tourists and security in High Visibility clothing.

Previous post is rubbish. A protester has been arrested - she has been released. She is not the same woman as that in the tunnel.

The woman in the tunnel deserves the admiration and thanks of every Irish Citizen?? What a load of bollix...if she goes and gets herself stuck in a tunnel...then tough luck on her! There are ways and means of dealing with this, not crawling into a hole and endangering herself and others...completely irresponsible....

The construction workers with the aid of the Gardai have fenced off the sensitive area surrounding the tunnel entrance, separating it from the rest of the camp and the protesters. They are in the process of driving posts into the ground, endangering the stability of the area. The protesters onsite have backed away as the presence of Gardai, security, workers and activity around the area is also posing a threat and they do not wish to add further to the human element of possible damage due to an excess of bodies on the mound. Contact with the protester underground is being maintained by one other supporter inside the fence. An agreement has been reached which keeps the Machines at a safe distance.

I am disgusted with the way the gardai and state handle this, and the lack of larger scale protest.I would join now my self if there was any point, but it seems that it's all over. Sell the country, sell history, maybe they can build a town center over new grange next year, I'm pretty sure everyone would sit back and support them.

This tunnel has apparently been under construction for months by the protestors. During this time construction would have carried on for the motorway as normal, with the tunnel underneath. If this is the case surely the tunnel was liable to collapse for at least a few months ?

While looking back to information I downloaded early last year in relation to the works at Tara, I found the following interesting piece.
by nile carton Sun Mar 16, 2008 18:52 Lisburn
Why doint you take a personal action against the Garda Commissioner if you believ ethat what the Gardai did amounted to attempted murder? I personally believe that such comment is idiotic and shows just how biased this website is and the editorial team to allow such rubbish onto their site. I suppose they will censor this comment because they cannot accept others have different opinions to indymedia. I believe that the Gardai acted correctly and totally professionally.
by Reading reports . . . Mon Mar 17, 2008 12:26
I agree witth the above comment, to a certain extent . . . Attempted murder might be a little harsh, however if such a thing existed then 'Attempted Manslaughter' would be much more fitting.

" Having been on the ground and witnessed an open disregard for safety, on the part of all those involved in attempting to forcefully evict Leesa from the tunnel, then responsibility lay on the shoulders of the most senior Gardai present"

Formula One returned to business overnight as Nico Rosberg led Lewis Hamilton at the Austrian Grand Prix for the sixth 1-2 finish by Mercedes.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo won the Canadian GP two weeks ago and Williams' Felipe Massa took pole position for this morning's race but this had little effect on Mercedes which had missed out on the front row of the grid for the first time this season.
''I was still very confident going into the race and knew I could win starting from third,'' said Rosberg, who celebrated his third win of the year and sixth overall as he extended his lead in the drivers' championship over Hamilton to 29 points - 165 vs. 136.
''I am extremely happy,'' the German said. ''Extending my lead was the main goal coming into this race.''
Williams' Valtteri Bottas came third for his first career F1 podium while teammate Massa took fourth.
Four-time champion Sebastian Vettel quit the race on lap 36 after overcoming engine problems early in the race.
Rosberg succeeded where his father Keke had just failed 32 years ago, when he came up 0.05 short of Elio de Angelis at the 1982 Austrian GP.
However, Keke Rosberg went on to become world champion that year, a feat Nico Rosberg is reluctant to think about yet.
''29 is a nice gap but it's still so early in the season,'' he said.
Hamilton, who was ninth after qualifying, earned four places from a blistering start and won another place to work his way up to fourth in the opening lap.
''It was a good start, one of the best starts I've ever had,'' the 2008 F1 champion said.
''To get from ninth to second and then pressure Nico shows the pace I had this weekend.''
Rosberg immediately overtook Bottas but lost that position again shortly after the first turn. Massa dropped from pole to fourth after the top four had their first pit stops and never threatened the leaders again.
Sergio Perez remained in the lead until the 27th, overtaken by Rosberg who accelerated for the fastest lap so far to create distance on Hamilton, who got stuck behind Perez.
The Mercedes drivers went 1-2 from lap 47 on but Rosberg kept Hamilton at bay, denying him a chance to overtake.
The British driver saw his chances reduced as the two pit stops in the race cost him 1.9 seconds more than Rosberg who relaxed at the end.
''I felt comfortable in the last lap,'' Rosberg said. ''It wasn't that close.''
The race once more confirmed Mercedes has best adapted to the introduction this season of the 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engines with the build-in energy recovery system.
Hamilton won four races in a row while Rosberg never finished worse than second.
''That's super, 1-2 means you can't do better,'' Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff said.
''They both made some mistakes under pressure but did well to handle the situation near the end as we had some problems with the cooling system and the brakes.''
Mercedes' stranglehold on F1 victories was broken by Ricciardo in Montreal, though Red Bull failed to threaten Mercedes again on its home circuit in Austria.
The track was new to all but four of the 22 drivers as F1 returned to Austria for the first time since 2003.
At 4.3 kilometres, the Red Bull Ring is one of the shortest circuits on the calendar, though with just nine turns it features long straights.
Situated in Central Austria's countryside, the track includes inclines of up to 12 percent. It was the 27th Austrian GP, which has been held on different circuits since 1964, with Alain Prost winning a record three times. Until 1987, the races took place in nearby Zeltweg before Austria first disappeared from the calendar for 10 years.
Spielberg also hosted the race from 1997-2003.
Five years after the last race, Red Bull reportedly invested US$270 million (NZ$310 million) on upgrading the track and its surrounding infrastructure.
The Austrian GP has been one of two new races to this season's F1 calendar alongside the Russian GP, scheduled for Sochi in October.

DOTA 2: The International 6 Begins Monday
Subject: General Tech | August 2, 2016 - 07:08 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: valve, pc gaming, esports, DOTA 2
Every year, Valve hosts a giant gaming event called "The International". While the prize pool is still being increased through purchases of the The International 2016 Battle Pass DLC bundle, it currently rests just below $19.4 million USD. The way previous years worked is that about a third went to first place, and the rest trickled down. Keep in mind that DOTA 2 is a team sport, though, so winnings don't all go to a single person.
Anywho, it will be a five-day event broadcasted on Twitch, Steam Broadcasting, WatchESPN, and YouTube. Owners of a SteamVR-compatible headset will also be able to view the broadcast in VR (which isn't just for The International, but this is the first The International to support it). It's not just projecting you into the stadium, either; it gives you a command center to see stats around you, or you can jump down into the map to see the battle around you "human scale".
The International 6 begins on Monday.
Windows 10 Version 1607 Changes Driver Signing Policy
Subject: General Tech | August 1, 2016 - 06:33 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows 10, microsoft
Remember, folks, that "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions". Microsoft has been trying to shed their stigma as a giant source of malware, but all solutions have side-effects, and those side-effects can have damaging consequences. When you believe that you or someone else is doing good, that is when you should be extra cautious, not less. It's a source of complacency.
With tomorrow's Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Microsoft will require kernel-mode drivers to be signed by them on systems with Secure Boot enabled. This change will not affect PCs that have been upgraded from a previous version of Windows, including Windows 10 1507 and Windows 10 1511. That said, this could be a concern for those (like me) who are planning to clean install soon.
To me, this doesn't look like it will be that big of a deal. Hobbyists should be able to manage with either disabling Secure Boot, if their system allows it, or by fitting their driver around the user-mode framework. It might cause an issue with hotfix graphics drivers, though, which are pushed out before getting signed by Microsoft.
Also, if Microsoft changes their driver signing policy in the future, then this
is could be (Update @ 7:30pm ET: original verbage was a little too strong) huge leverage against anyone attempting to circumvent it (such as implementing a graphics API that outperforms whatever DirectX version they have at the time -- see how Vulkan is not allowed on MacOSX). Even if you trust Microsoft now, you need to think about what Microsoft in 10+ years can do if they choose to.
Windows 10 Free Upgrade Extended for Assistive Technologies
Subject: General Tech | July 30, 2016 - 06:37 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: microsoft, windows 10
For the majority of users, the Windows 10 free upgrade period has just ended. That said, Microsoft is extending the offer for a specific group of people: those who use assistive technologies, such as text-to-speech software for those with visual impairments. They are being intentionally vague with which AT software allow users to qualify, which makes sense, because being pedantic to users with disabilities after offering it to everyone (sometimes like a hot potato) for a whole year wouldn't be the best PR.
They haven't yet announced an end date for this new offer. They also haven't really discussed why they are making this exemption, although they do promote the upcoming Anniversary Update several times, with its new accessibility features highlighted. This makes me think that, while of course Microsoft is going to namedrop the new build whenever possible, they might have found that users were hesitant to upgrade to 1507 and 1511 because of accessibility concerns. Since the general public upgrade offer ended just before the Anniversary Update, they might be allowing those users to jump aboard Windows 10 even though their disability prevented them from using 1511.
Either way, it's a nice extension to make.
Xiaomi Launches Sleek Mi Notebook Air Ultrabooks
Subject: General Tech | July 28, 2016 - 05:33 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: xiaomi, ultraportable, ultrabook, thin and light, Intel, core m3, core i5
According to the guys over at The Tech Report, Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi is jumping into the notebook game with two new Mi Notebook Air ultrabooks. The all aluminum notebooks are sleek looking and priced very competitively for their specifications. They are set to release on August 2nd in China.
The new Mi Notebook Air notebooks come in 13.3" and 12.5" versions. Both models use all aluminum bodies with edge to edge glass displays (1080p though unknown what type of panel), backlit keyboards, and dual AKG speakers. Users can choose from gold or silver colors for the body and keyboard (Xiaomi uses a logo-less design which is nice).
Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air via Ars Technica.
Both models sport a single USB Type C port (which is also used for charging), two USB 3.0 Type A ports, one HDMI video output, and a headphone jack. The Xiaomi website shows an USB Type C adapter that adds extra ports as well. Internally, they have a M.2 slot for storage expansion but the notebooks do not appear to be user serviceable (though iFixit may rectify that...). Also shared is support for the company's Mi Sync software and Mi fitness band which can be used to unlock the computer when the user is in proximity.
The smaller 12.5" Mi Notebook Air is 0.51" thick and weighs just over 2.3 pounds. It is powered by an Intel Core M3 processor and Xiaomi claims that this model can hit 11.5 hours ouf battery life. Other specifications include 4 GB of RAM, a 128 GB SATA SSD, and 802.11ac wireless.
If you need a bit more computing power, the 13.3" notebook is slightly bulkier at 0.58" thick and 2.8 pounds with the tradeoff in size giving users a larger display, keyboard, and dedicated graphics card. Specifically, the 13.3" ultrabook features an Intel Core i5 processor, Nvidia Geforce 940MX GPU, 8 GB DDR4 RAM, a 256GB NVMe PCI-E SSD, and 802.11ac Wi-Fi. This laptop is a bit heavier but I think the extra horsepower is worth it for those that need or want it.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about what many will see as an Apple MacBook Air clone is the pricing. The 12.5" laptop will MSRP for RMB 3499 while that 13.3" notebook will cost RMB 4999. That translates to approximately $525 and $750 USD respectively which is a great value for the specifications and size and seemingly will give Apple a run for its money in China. That's the bad news: Xiaomi does not appear to be bringing these slick looking notebooks to the US anytime soon which is unfortunate.

LeEco To Buy US TV Manufacturer Vizio For $2 Billion This Year
Subject: General Tech | July 28, 2016 - 03:52 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: vizio, LeEco, China, business
Chinese technology company LeEco (SZSE: 300104) will purchase US television manufacture Vizio (NASDAQ: VZIO (not trading)) in a deal worth $2 Billion USD set to close in the fourth quarter of this year.
LeEco plans to acquire Vizio's hardware and software divisions and run the US company as a wholly owned subsidiary while spinning off Vizio's Inscape television viewership data arm as a privately held company. With approximately 400 employees, yearly revenue in the billions ($3.1 billion in 2014), and at least 20% of the US television market, the acquisition would allow LeEco to enter the US market in a big way. Vizio is best known in the US for its televisions where it is a respected brand, but the company also produces ultrabooks, tablets, smartphones, and sound bars. It is a private US-based company with manufacturing in Mexico and China.
Founded in 2004, LeEco is involved in a number of technology related fields across China, India, and soon the US. The Vizio brand (and partnerships such as the one with Walmart to carry its TVs) alone will be instrumental in LeEco's plans to break into the US market which has been resistant to Chinese brands making inroads (Lenovo apparently being the exception, but even Lenovo was not able to get its smartphones into the US market in a big way). The company of 5000+ employees is involved in Internet TV, video production and distribution, e-commerce, smartphones, tablets, gadgets, home automation, and even (soon) driverless cars.The company had 2014 revenue of $1.6 billion.
It is interesting to see all of the buy outs of US tech companies by overseas companies. To be clear, I don't necessarily think that these deals are a bad thing or being done with malicious intentions, but they do piques my curiosity. In this case it could be a good partnership that would allow both companies to benefit with LeEco getting a strong US brand and the recognition and market trust that entails and Vizio getting a much larger staffed company with experience in Chinese markets where it could help Vizio push its smart TV platform and ultrabooks and phone aspects further. Here's hoping that a LeEco owned Vizio grows and maintains its quality and price points.
What do you think about LeEco buying out Vizio? What will the future hold for the US TV maker?
Microsoft Converts Unreal Engine 4 to UWP
Subject: General Tech | July 27, 2016 - 08:47 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: microsoft, epic games, unreal engine, unreal engine 4, ue4, uwp
The head of Epic Games, Tim Sweeney, doesn't like UWP too much, at least as it exists today (and for noble reasons). He will not support the new software (app) platform unless Microsoft makes some clear changes that guarantee perpetual openness. There really isn't anything, technically or legally, to prevent Microsoft (or an entity with authority over Microsoft, like governments, activists groups who petition government, and so forth) from undoing their changes going forward. If Microsoft drops support for Win32, apart from applications that are converted using Project Centennial or something, their catalog would be tiny.
Ridiculously tiny.
SteamOS would kick its butt levels of tiny, let alone OSX, Android, and countless others.
As a result, Microsoft keeps it around, despite its unruliness. Functionality that is required by legitimate software make it difficult to prevent malware, and, even without an infection, it can make the system just get junked up over time.
UWP, on the other hand, is slimmer, contained, and authenticated with keys. This is theoretically easier to maintain, but at the expense of user control and freedom; freedom to develop and install software anonymously and without oversight. The first iteration was with Windows RT, which was basically iOS, right down to the "you cannot ship a web browser unless it is a reskin of Internet Explorer ((replace that for Safari in iOS' case))" and "content above ESRB M and PEGI 16 are banned from the OS" levels of control.
Since then, content guidelines have increased, sideloading has been added, and so forth. That said, unlike the technical hurdles of Win32, there's nothing to prevent Microsoft from, in the future, saying "Okay, we have enough software for lock in. Sideloading is being removed in Windows 10 version 2810" or something. I doubt that the current administration wants to do this, especially executives like Phil Spencer, but their unwillingness to make it impossible to be done in the future is frustrating. This could be a few clauses in the EULA that make it easy for users to sue Microsoft if a feature is changed, and/or some chunks of code that breaks compatibility if certain openness features are removed.
Some people complain that he wasn't this concerned about iOS, but he already said that it was a bad decision in hindsight. Apple waved a shiny device around, and it took a few years for developers to think "Wait a minute, what did I just sign away?" iOS is, indeed, just as bad as UWP could turn into, if not worse.
Remember folks, once you build a tool for censorship, they will come. They may also have very different beliefs about what should be allowed or disallowed than you do. This is scary stuff, albeit based on good intentions.
That rant aside, Microsoft's Advanced Technology Group (ATG) has produced a fork of Unreal Engine 4, which builds UWP content. It is based upon Unreal Engine 4.12, and they have apparently merged changes up to version 4.12.5. This makes sense, of course, because that version is required to use Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
If you want to make a game in Unreal Engine 4 for the UWP platform, then you might be able to use Microsoft's version. That said, it is provided without warranty, and there might be some bugs that cropped up, which Epic Games will probably not help with. I somehow doubt that Microsoft will have a dedicated team that merges all fixes going forward, and I don't think this will change Tim's mind (although concrete limitations that guarantee openness might...). Use at your own risk, I guess, especially if you don't care about potentially missing out on whatever is added for 4.13 and on (unless you add it yourself).
The fork is available on Microsoft's ATG GitHub, with lots of uppercase typing.
AMD FireRender Technology Now ProRender, Part of GPUOpen
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | July 25, 2016 - 09:48 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: siggraph 2016, Siggraph, capsaicin, amd, 3D rendering
At their Capsaicin Siggraph event tonight AMD has announced that what was previously announced as the FireRender rendering engine is being officially launched as AMD Radeon ProRender, and this is becoming open-source as part of AMD's GPUOpen initiative.
From AMD's press release:
AMD today announced its powerful physically-based rendering engine is becoming open source, giving developers access to the source code.
As part of GPUOpen, Radeon ProRender (formerly previewed as AMD FireRender) enables creators to bring ideas to life through high-performance applications and workflows enhanced by photorealistic rendering.
GPUOpen is an AMD initiative designed to assist developers in creating ground-breaking games, professional graphics applications and GPU computing applications with much greater performance and lifelike experiences, at no cost and using open development tools and software.
Unlike other renderers, Radeon ProRender can simultaneously use and balance the compute capabilities of multiple GPUs and CPUs – on the same system, at the same time – and deliver state-of-the-art GPU acceleration to produce rapid, accurate results.
Radeon ProRender plugins are available today for many popular 3D content creation applications, including Autodesk® 3ds Max®, SOLIDWORKS by Dassault Systèmes and Rhino®, with Autodesk® Maya® coming soon. Radeon ProRender works across Windows®, OS X and Linux®, and supports AMD GPUs, CPUs and APUs as well as those of other vendors.
SIGGRAPH 2016: NVIDIA Takes Over mental ray for Maya
Subject: General Tech | July 25, 2016 - 04:47 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, mental ray, maya, 3D rendering
NVIDIA purchased Mental Images, the German software developer that makes the mental ray renderer, all the way back in 2007. It has been bundled with every copy of Maya for a very long time now. In fact, my license of Maya 8, which I purchased back in like, 2006, came with mental ray in both plug-in format, and stand-alone.
Interestingly, even though nearly a decade has passed since NVIDIA's acquisition, Autodesk has been the middle-person that end-users dealt with. This will end soon, as NVIDIA announced, at SIGGRAPH, that they will "be serving end users directly" with their mental ray for Maya plug-in. The new plug-in will show results directly in the viewport, starting at low quality and increasing until the view changes. They are obviously not the first company to do this, with Cycles in Blender being a good example, but I would expect that it is a welcome feature for users.
Benchmark results are by NVIDIA
At the same time, they are also announcing GI-Next. This will speed up global illumination in mental ray, and it will also reduce the number of options required to tune the results to just a single quality slider, making it easier for artists to pick up. One of their benchmarks shows a 26-fold increase in performance, although most of that can be attributed to GPU acceleration from a pair of GM200 Quadro cards. CPU-only tests of the same scene show a 4x increase, though, which is still pretty good.
The new version of mental ray for Maya is expected to ship in September, although it has been in an open beta (for existing Maya users) since February. They do say that "pricing and policies will be announced closer to availability" though, so we'll need to see, then, how different the licensing structure will be. Currently, Maya ships with a few licenses of mental ray out of the box, and has for quite some time.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

A Historian's Perspective on Gingrich & LincolnHistorians in the News
Newt Gingrich wrongly claimed the Dred Scott decision "ruled that slavery extended to the whole country." It did not. The ruling stated that Congress had no authority to ban slavery in new territories, but it stopped short of applying the ruling to all states. Gingrich also claimed that President Lincoln "explicitly instructed his administration to not enforce Dred Scott." But the research historian at the Lincoln presidential library knows of no such directive or any reason to issue one.
In arguing for the need to curb the power of the judiciary, Gingrich frequently cites Lincoln's well documented opposition to the Supreme Court's Dred Scott ruling. Gingrich did so twice Dec. 18 on "Face the Nation." The former House speaker, who earned a Ph.D. in history and taught the subject briefly, often says he is speaking "as a historian." We asked Bryon Andreasen, the research historian at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Ill., to review Gingrich's comments about Lincoln on "Face the Nation" for historical accuracy.
Gingrich, Dec. 18: Lincoln spends part of his first inaugural because people tend to forget, the Supreme Court in Dred Scott, ruled that slavery extended to the whole country. And Lincoln said very specifically, that's the law of the case that is not the law of the land. Nine people cannot create the law of the land or you have eliminated our freedom as a people.
Andreasen made three points about Gingrich's comments. We'll provide Andreasen's detailed analysis later, but first we will summarize his main points:
- The Dred Scott decision did not extend slavery "to the whole country," as Gingrich claimed.
- Gingrich's statement that "Lincoln said very specifically, that's the law of the case that is not the law of the land" — is, in Andreasen's words, "historically defensible."
- It is "essentially accurate," Andreasen said, for Gingrich to paraphrase Lincoln's belief that "nine people cannot create the law of the land or you have eliminated our freedom as a people."...

A big, ugly, ghetto girl with facial features that are disturbingly reminiscent of a gorilla's. Often seen picking fights with people in order to take the attention off themselves. Can also be seen hanging out with the loathsome Project Pekingese as well.
D.G is a ghetto gorilla. She swings from trees and eats bugs out of her boyfriends' hair.

Product Description
"Whether you are serious scholar, a devotee of naval history, or just someone who likes a good book, Sloop of War does not disappoint. Most of us can t devote a lifetime of study to this topic, much less gain access to the mouldering records so assiduously researched by the author. Thanks to McLaughlin, we don t have to in order to find out about the interesting history of this class of ship. Sloop of War is at once an extremely detailed academic treatment of early Royal Navy warships, and simultaneously a reference work that could grace any coffee table." --WhatWouldtheFoundersThink.com"
About the Author
IAN McLAUGHLAN is a retired British Army officer with a keen and active enthusiasm for small-boat sailing. From this passion developed a profound interest in the rigs, design and operations of the Navy's smallest combatants. A decade of study has resulted in this book.

Moreover, according to the preface, we can also look forward to a second volume that will cover the period from 1763 to 1815. However, the author doubts that he will manage to complete a projected final third volume, running up to 1950. Perhaps a more modest and achievable aim might be to end in 1900, because the small ships of both world wars have already been well covered elsewhere.
My only caveat concerns the short section on stability at the end of chapter one, which contains some serious errors, and as a result misleads rather than enlightens. Professional seamen will be surprised to find that BM is in one place described as metacentric height, the value of intact freeboard is ignored, as is the danger of downdlooding, dynamic stability does not figure at all. Moreover, there is no effort to place this all in context by discussing how the understanding of stability developed in that period. The pity is that his attempt to explain a complex subject is unnecessary, and the book would have been much better without it. Those wishing to understand the subject could be directed to one of the many excellent stability textbooks. Hopefully a second edition will correct this. I still consider it worth 5 stars.

Get ready for back to school while you have the time to do it. From shopping and haircuts to dentists and auto repairs.
I am a physician who, along with my wife, has been a patient of this practice for the last 2 years. Each of the doctors have sterling reputations in the Asheville medical community, and although I had never worked with them I knew of their excellence. I have never been disappointed and they have seen us expertly through some trying times, including the middle of the night. Non-physician friends who I have referred have had the same experience, so I don't think I'm getting anything special because I am a doctor. Their fee is considerable, but to spare readers a lecture on the current state of medical economics, it is entirely reasonable In order to offer the services they provide. Concierge medicine is a national movement and we are lucky to have it available here. I heartily recommend this practice and each of it's doctors.

Lady GaGa's Unretouched Photos for Versace's Ads Leaked
Lady GaGa's unpolished photos for Versace ads have made it out. The Mother Monster bared it all in the new advertising campaign for the high fashion label and received photoshop treatment.
GaGa's pre-touched photos showed her pale complexion and dark circles around the eyes. She had bruises on her legs and moles on her arm that were removed using the technology. It looked like she had her make-up digitally done.
GaGa was promoting Versace's new line of handbags and clothes. In one shot she appeared topless while her white wig covered her breasts area. All of the pics captured her striking various poses on a purple couch.
She was announced as the new face of Versace back in November 2013. "I'm so happy to be working w/ @Versace for the new Campaign! What do you wanna wear this Spring? #Donatella #famiglia," the singer tweeted after the announcement. Her ads were published in magazines in January.

Be the first to write a review Southwest Financial
Fast & Friendly
by VW , 03/19/2013
I applied over the phone, was approved in 30 minutes. Upon arrival, I was greeted by 3 very friendly, professional people. I was in & out of their office in less than 15 minutes with my check in hand. I recommend Southwest Financial to anyone who needs to borrow money for any occasion. My bank takes days to approve a loan for me, I was tired of waiting, Southwest Financial didn't make me wait. Call them today, they won't disappoint!

I can take being turned down for a loan, but when someone puts you on hold, and forgets about you, that's just wrong!

Following Thé Dansant (100% confirmed!!): 12/06 @ the beautiful terrace of the Bowling Stones near Brussels without any other family-event (Wemmel) with already confirmed: Fady One (Zukunft) & Jazzy Demon (Wax Club, Yes Weekend)
A tea dance, or thé dansant (French: literally dancing tea) is an afternoon or early-evening dance. The function evolved from the concept of the afternoon tea, and traces its origin back to the French colonization of Morocco.[1] Books on Victorian Era etiquette even included instructions for hosting such gatherings. A frequent feature of tea dances was the presence of a live orchestra – often referred to as a palm court orchestra – playing light classical music. The types of dances performed during tea dances included Waltzes, Tangos and, by the late 1920s, The Charleston[2]
