Spoiler:- Spoiler:
Tried out that level select thing and yes, it works. Now, who thinks there will be a Sonic 4 episode 3? I doubt it.
You don't just start an episodic series and stop at tw--
Wait, hang on.
I searched the web and found that the first Sonic games had around 7-14 zones. Combine the Sonic 4 episodes 1-2 zones and you have 8 zones in total. You never know, but I would prefer Sega to go to Sonic 5. If there were to be a third zone, I would guess it would be set in Little Planet since Eggmans' death egg face (XD) is constructed on Little Planet as we can see via the screenshots of episode 2 so far. Or at least I hope it isn't another planet...
The good From Sonic Generations 3DS
Green Hill Act1
Casino Night Act 1-2
Mushroom Hill Act 2
Metal Sonic
Emerald Coast Act1
Radical Highway Act 2
Water Palace Act's 1-2
Tropical Resort Act 2
The bad:
Green Hill act 2-It's kinda difficult at the end with that platform towards the end of the stage where It moves and you have to hit it correctly otherwise you'll fall
Mushroom Hill Act1- Boring and some shortcuts can be a pain to get to plus it feels a bit short and the S rank is kinda difficult.
Emerald Coast Act2- Too Boring and feels nothing like the SA1 version, but then again it is the 3DS.
Radical Highway act 1-Why is this level so Percise?! You half to hit all the shortcuts or else no S rank yeah it's Sonic the Hedgehog but It's suppose to challenging but not this hard.
Tropical Resort Act 1-It's difficult and doesn't feel like Tropical Resort period and it's boring, the Sranking time is around 2:44 so yeah.
Shadow- Racing him doesn't feel satifying and Chaos Control sucks!
Silver- More challenging which is great but I can't stand having to hallass in order to beat him I'm serious you can only get about A-S rank in this Rival race unlike Metal Sonic And Shadow where you can screw up and get B that won't work with Silver you'll have to be good at the game.
Big Arm
Egg Emperor
Biolizard-Can get fustrating at times and then the bubbles. -__-
Time Eater- Handeled better on the 3DS yes, but It's still pretty difficult.

Silly question, but how can you play the game Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic Generations?
Eagerly waiting for: Monolith Soft Wii U game
What are you supposed to do after buying it? The only thing that's available is a Life+1, so I assume I already bought it.
Eagerly waiting for: Monolith Soft Wii U game
The problem is that Sonic is portrayed differently in each type of media he's in. Doesn't help the western side tried pushing a completely made up story when the Japanese side already had one, including making the planet they all live on called "Mobius" instead of Earth.

Hmm... It's great but her voice doesn't match with Kelly's voice. Because for me, Kelly's voice is more matches with Melissa Lyons, Julie Stevens, even Skye Sweetnam
But I think Skye wouldn't voice Barbie in singing anymore, because now she's a hardcore band vocalist called "Sumo Cyco"

Maybe the wanted her to record 'Pop versions' of every song; like in DC. There's at leave four versions of 'Connnected' and 'Two Voices, One Song'; also two versions of 'Believe' and 'We're Gonna Find It'; plus album versions of 'Double Vision' and 'Wonderful Me'.
And if DK was voicing, wouldn't they just use Jenifer Warris again? As of now, I'm going to keep hoping that the entire original P&P cast will be in PaP. *Alessandro Juliani...oh, yes.*

This book is an attempt to rehabilitate Schiller as a philosopher. It defends his philosophy against his Marxist, post-modernist and Kantian critics. Some chapters are exegetical, others thematic. The exegetical chapters (2-4) re-examine the arguments and context of some of his most important writings, Kallias Briefe, Anmut und Würde, and the Äesthetische Briefe. The thematic chapters treat Schiller's intellectual development, his concept of freedom, his theory of tragedy, and his dispute with the Kantians. In defense of Schiller, it is argued that his project for an objective aesthetic was no ... More

" My experience here was amazing! The dentist was great, at the beginning I had many questions that was answered. The both the clinic and hotel was extremely clean. "
" The clinic is modern, clean and high tech, staff are helpful and speak very good English, procedures were carried out efficiently and clearly explained. "
Porcelain Crown, A superb practice, I would really recommend you to go there. Thank you so much, Mr. Peer and the rest of the dental staff, you are terrific.!
Multiple Dental Treatments I have recently been to the Hunts Cross Dental Centre and had quite a lot of treatment carried out and have to say that the dentist staff and quality of treatment has been outstanding.
I have secondary root canal work done and was very anxious but Omar put me at ease. The majority of the treatment was done with no analgesic but Omar assured me that I would feel no pain which I didn't. There was infection so Omar cleaned it all out, and when he was happy I then got a new root canal filling. It was a long procedure but Omar continually told me what he was doing and I felt extremely confident in his treatment. The entire experience was a pleasant one. Excellent service from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend this practice, the Reception staff were friendly and the atmosphere was a welcoming one. Omar who treated me was extremely attentive and make me feel relaxed. I would most definitely visit this practice again!
for clinics who provide Dental Implants in Woolton
After 10 years of fillings, root canals, teeth extractions. scale and polish every 3 months. visits to a dental hospital, all to no avail, all they could offer me was a denture. I asked if dental implants were an option no was the answer because I at the time was a smoker. However, upon researching this if you are prepared to quit, then yes implants are an option so please don't be put off by thinking a denture is your only option. I now have dental implants and they look and feel fantastic. This is down to Dr Vijay and his dedicated team. Sorry to have gone on a bit, just want you to make the right choice. It has certainly turned my life around. Don't suffer in silence like I did, for far too long. Good luck.
Very pleased with the results and the price. Lovely dentist, would recommend him to everyone.
Still under going treatment price is £750.

Mamta directs superstar Rajini
Subscribe to Filmibeat
The pleasure of directing a superstar like Rajinikanth is not something that can be easily expressed through words, especially when the director is an upcoming pretty actress like Mamta Mohandas. In the latest sensation Kuselan (Kathanayakadu in Telugu), even if it was a cameo as an associate director who gets to direct the superstar for a song, Mamta Mohandas considers it as an exceptional moment in her life.
She remembers the moment she got the call to do the role. "I was shooting a Malayalam movie in Dubai. We were shooting under a tight schedule and they couldn't do a single day without me. That is when I got this call for making an appearance in Kuselan. I did not have any second thoughts other than asking my directors whether they would let me go. They gracefully obliged and I was off for five days."
She plays the character of an associate director, which was not found in the Malayalam original, Kadha Parayumbol. It was Rajinikanth's idea to add such a role in the Tamil and Telugu versions.
For Mamta, Rajinikanth is just like any other person. "I had a good time shooting with Rajini Sir. He seemed to be a humble person. It was very easy to pick up a conversation with him. He is just like any other person. I had my bit of interaction with Rajini Sir before I went for my first shot. I was to say, 'Well done, Mr. Ashok,' and shake hands with him. He is such a simple person that he does not make his co-actors feel nervous. I did not feel nervous, either."
At the same time, Mamta is really happy having associated with P. Vasu once again after the Telugu film Krishna Arjuna by the veteran director. "Besides, sharing the screen with Rajinikanth was something I shouldn't say 'no' to," she says.

Katie Eary AW14
Mickey Mouse as a punk, in poisonous red tartan, S&M leather and animalistic print
- TextStuart Brumfitt
- PhotographyJoe Ridout
Initial reaction:
Not a punk strait-jacket, please!
But let Katie explain:
"I wanted to take the essence of punk - and more importantly the 70s Seditionaries - which was traditionally home-made…and create this aesthetic with one of the finest tailors on Savile Row, Richard Anderson. Kind of doing punk in reverse."
Mickey Mouse Club:
Eary mined Mickey Mouse and Disney iconography and gave it a vicious twist. There were spooky mega Mickey plastic heads with punk hair sprouting out, and plastic Mickey chokers in candy colour. All part of her examination of the conflicting ideas we have of some of our culture's most recognisable characters.
Stand out looks:
Satin shirts in an acid palette of pinks, reds and turquoise; patent leather leggings with S&M zips and bondage harnesses in roughed up tartan and leopard print. Illusionary strait-jacket sleeves bonded arms to the chest in a Vampire pose, and a grey cape coat appeared to hang just so on the shoulders. Pleated skirts billowed beneath t-shirts.
The ever-so-literal "Where Is My Mind?: by the Pixies (a nod to those strait-jackets) and "Anarchy In The UK" by the Sex Pistols (a nod to that Seditionaries style).

BOSTON HARBOR & SOUTH SHORE-Stripers-8/4/01
BOSTON HARBOR & SOUTH SHORE- Stripers 8/4/01
Early this week the best action for numbers of keeper bass on fly and light-tackle was north of Graves light in the outer harbor. On Wednesday, schools of marauding blues mixed with the bass in the same locale to join in the feeding frenzy provided for by juvenile herring. This outer-harbor blitz gave way to a feeding foray in the inner-harbor at weeks end in both Boston and Quincy Bays as acres of silversides were in evidence. Mondays trip with Dick Hurd of CSFB,Boston, was our seasons best for numbers of keeper bass on the long rod. The action started in Quincy Bay on the last of the out-going tide. DepthCharge line got the 5/0 epoxy-head herring patterns down into the strike zone. The fly casters accounted for numerous linesides in the 24-27 inch size class and three keepers between 30 and 32 inches. Moving off to Graves, large pods of bass were slashing through the herring with the gulls above. The Vortex reels got a workout as the flyfishers hooked double after double of keeper bass between 30 and 34 inches. Both anglers lost what they believed to be Walter. By the time the surface action slowed at 9:30, Dick and friend had boated and released 22 keepers. Both had the opportunity to fish the new 9/10 Vortex anti-reversed on big fish. Both anglers liked the knuckle-saving feature as well as the drag de-activating lever. Wednesdays trip with Gordon Lewis from Bedford,NH started and ended off Graves. The blues had joined the party necessitating bite protectors---4-5 inches of 36 pound Malin wire. Equal numbers of bass and blues took the spinning and fly cast presentations. Blues to 14 pounds were handled and released with the Boga-Grip. We didnt find the numbers of big bass that were in evidence the day beforepossibly due to the more aggressive blues. Nevertheless, this was the best action of the season in the Boston area for blues to date. Thursday and Friday were atypically slow for Boston for early August. Herring and silversides were showing just about everywhere. We marked bass with the fishfinders. A few bass and blues took the presentations in the early morning. Follows from surface finning bass over structure and short strikes were the results of our efforts for the rest of the tide. A waxing moon and soft early morning tides may have been the culprit. Perhaps the bass were feeding at night on the moon was suggested by Orvis Rep Tom Keer. On Saturday morning, following a dark, stormy night over Boston, with the table set, all Hell broke loose. On the last hour of the ebb through the low slack and into the first two hours of the flood, bass were erupting on sliversides in Quincy Bay. 1/0 blue and white Clousers worked best on 300-400 DepthCharge line. 2/0 White Gurglers out-fished other surface presentations on Wonderline. Slug-Gos and 4 inch Fin-S baits matched the bait size best on spinning gear. The surface action was non-stop from first light until 9:00. This was Roger Thuots from Princeton, MA third trip to Boston. He thought he had seen it all. After his 30th bass between 24 and 32 inches on the Gurgler, he could be heard mumbling, Cape Who?? His daughter landed an equal number using both Slug-gos and the blue clousers. Capt. Mike Bartlett B-Fast Charters www.bfastcharters.com |

1. Quote - Listen to the quote and guess what the slang means.
"There's a great part of Captain Jack in me. Basically, I can't shake him."
- Johnny Depp, talking about his famous Pirates of the Caribbean role. (Us Weekly)
1. Definition - Study the definition.
can't get away from; can't escape
2. Use - Learn how the slang is used.
Johnny Depp has had a lot of roles in his life, but he may be most well known for playing Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The fourth movie in the series, On Stranger Tides, just came out, and Depp says he can't shake his pirate alter-ego.
But why would Johnny want to shake Jack Sparrow? He isn't talking about picking him up and physically moving him back and forth. He isn't talking about disturbing him emotionally, either. Those are both meanings of the verb "shake." But in this case, Depp is using the word in a different sense.
When someone says he can't shake something, it means he can't escape it or get rid of it. Johnny Depp can't shake Jack Sparrow, meaning he can't get away from his own character. In some way, the character is a part of him. They'll always be mates.
Is there anything that you can't shake right now? Have you ever had an annoying person in your life who you couldn't shake, no matter how hard you tried?
1. Examples - Hear some example sentences.
"I can't shake this bad feeling I've had all week."
"I wish my little brother would leave me alone, but I can't shake him."
"Kobe Bryant can't shake his reputation as a bad boy."

Tony Romo Engaged!
Tony Romo is now engaged to Candice Crawford.
Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo proposed to girlfriend Candice Crawford on her 24th birthday. Candice is actually Chace Crawford's (of Gossip Girl fame) sister. Both Romo and Chace have a dating history with Carrie Underwood (that's kinda weird!)
Candice Crawford who Tony Romo engaged is a former beauty queen. In 2008, she won the title of Miss Missouri, and competed in the Miss USA pageant. Candice currently works as sports anchor at KDAF-TV, and was celebrating her day with her family and Romo when he popped the question.
After Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo broke up in July 2009, Romo started dating Crawford. Jessica also recently announced her own engagement (to NFL player Eric Johnson) just one week after ex-husband Nick Lachey announced his engagement to Vanessa Minnillo. Lachey and Minnillo have been together for the longest time, out of the newly-engaged couples. They have been together since 2006, shortly after Lachey broke up with Simpson.
Tony Romo's engagement was announced by KDAF-TV. He gave Candice a gorgeous diamond ring, which she is now proudly sporting.
Tony Romo has been on the sidelines for awhile now, having injured his left clavicle. The Cowboys won't be in the Playoffs and so Romo won't be playing for awhile, and chances are he will have lots of time to spend with his blushing bride-to-be!

As first reported by TSN's Gord Miller, the Washington Capitals have signed free agent center and former Caps captain Jeff Halpern to a one-year deal worth $825,000. Halpern played for the Montreal Canadiens last year, suiting up for 72 games and scoring 11 goals to go along with 15 assists. He will play a fourth-line, veteran role with the Capitals and I really like this move. Halpern can win faceoffs, play good defense, and assist on the penalty kill.
This move coincides with former Capital Boyd Gordon signing with the Phoenix Coyotes on a two-year, $2.65 million deal. Halpern brings pretty much the same skill set considerably cheaper.
More as it becomes available.
Welcome to Caps 'Round the Clock, a blog covering the Washington Capitals and the NHL. In season, I update the Blog after every practice and on game day with Caps news and information, and then provide a recap and analysis after each contest. I also write a periodical Prospect Watch and weekly feature pieces on the state of the Men in Red and other things Capitals. And of course, I will post videos and tidbits from around the League and offer my two cents as the season wears on. In the offseason, I write a Report Card for each player, and will keep you updated on all the news about the Caps through the summer. I'm glad you're here, and hope you come back!

Very good game. I am totally enjoying playing these older games. This game is totally Adventure with a lot of HO's.A lot of back and fourth but it makes game interesting. Loved the ending. Great story line. Again I turn sound down to background sound but doesn't bother me.A lot of thought process goes into this game. Map shows you where you are and where you should be but doesn't jump you . Find cat coins for boths and then you can jump during game. Enjoy. See more See less
Exciting game always something to do and it's awesome in graphics See more See less
This game can be finished in a few sessions or one quite long session. The HOG scenes often have small items that blend into the background. You often find something when clicking for something else AND you must find hidden objects. The hint button will circle one item. Movement for the most part is by using screen arrows. There are teleporters that can help. Outside a HOG screen the hint button will get you a description of where to find the next object but not where that object is located.The story is good and even the music is not anoying when turned down.

The top and middle figures indicate nonrandom patterns of gene density along the length of the Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (top) and Escherichia coli (middle) chromosomes. (The numbers along the horizontal axes represent chromosome position in kilobases, and the numbers on the vertical axes are the sizes of the nonrandom regions in kilobases. White regions are areas without patterns.) The bottom graph indicates the rank order of gene-density patterning found in 151 species studied, with B. thetaiotaomicron exhibiting the strongest nonrandom genome organization based on gene density, with E. coli ranked in the middle of the study group.
In a paper published Jan. 13 online in PLoS Computational Biology, the researchers reported large- and small-scale organizational patterns in the genomes of 135 bacteria ranging from those that cause typhoid fever and various other human infections to organisms that enrich the nitrogen content of soil. In addition, 16 more primitive microorganisms, including one that thrives in boiling hot springs, also exhibit patterns in their genomes that are highly nonrandom.
"This high degree of organization of prokaryotic [organisms that lack nuclei] genomes is a complete surprise, and this finding carries many implications that biologists might not have considered before," said Bernhard Palsson, a professor of bioengineering at UCSD's Jacobs School of Engineering and adjunct professor of medicine and co-author of the analysis. "These findings show that evolution of prokaryotes is constrained not just by variations in the content of genes, but also by the intricate ways in which those genes are arranged on chromosomes."
A bacterial cell usually operates with one copy of its genome. Until 2002, there had been no way to determine if a particular gene or area of the chromosome was segregated in any particular way inside individual bacterial cells. New techniques that attach fluorescent "reporter" markers to predetermined spots on chromosomes have indicated that many bacterial genes tend to be found at specific cellular locations. Nonrandom patterns are not obvious in the sequences of prokaryotic genomes, which led the team led by Palsson to use signal-processing methods to identify long-range spatial patterns in the arrangement of sequenced microbial genomes. They related the degree of organization in each genome they studied based on various characteristics.
"Bacterial chromosomes may have something like ZIP codes that fix groups of genes to certain locations within the cell where they are most needed," said Timothy E. Allen, a member of Palsson's team at UCSD who is currently an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Virginia. He said the surprising organization begs the question of what it means. The sequence order of bacterial genomes most likely affects the way in which the DNA is compressed, often more than 1,000-fold, to fit within the confines of the cell. "In some cases, it might suggest that a genome is arranged into relatively large physically distinct coils inside the cell, but nobody knows for certain," Allen said. "One of the take-home messages of our study is that we need to develop more ways to measure the location of specific genes within individual cells."
Palsson's team included Allen, recent Ph.D. graduate Nathan D. Price, and Ph.D. candidate Andrew R. Joyce. They downloaded the sequences of the 151 prokaryotic genomes from the CBS Genome Atlas Database and analyzed regions of each genome for the relative amount of four basic building blocks of DNA, the density of genes and expression level of those genes, and other factors.
To detect patterns in those features, they used wavelet analysis, a statistical technique that also has been used to identify patterns in geophysical data, such as warming of the surface of the ocean off South America that causes El Niño climatic events. The wavelet analysis of bacterial genomes yielded "scalograms," maps colored to elucidate the strength of a variety of periodicities associated with chromosome position. Just as the wavelet analysis has identified significant increases in sea surface temperatures in El Niño events, it also revealed nonrandom patterns in the genomes of most of the 151 microorganisms studied.
"The analysis generated diagrams of psychedelically colored islands of statistically significant patterns floating in a sea of insignificant patterns," said Palsson, author of Systems Biology: Properties of Reconstructed Networks (Cambridge University Press, 2006). "Basically, it demonstrated that most bacterial genomes are highly organized. Our results demonstrate that there are significant evolutionary constraints that act upon genomes organization as well as upon genome content. That interplay between organization and function can't be ignored if we want to gain a better fundamental understanding of how a microbial cell works."

Gophers basketball pregame: What would a win/loss vs. Illinois mean for the Gophers?
- 9 January, 2013 //
- Gophers Now //
- Tags :
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — What are the chances Tubby Smith and his Gophers basketball staff called up Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany to tell him how much they appreciated getting an opening schedule that included Michigan State, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan in the first five games this season?
Probably zero. But maybe they should have.
What better way to prove right from the start if the Gophers have what it takes to contend for a Big Ten title. The No. 8 ranking and 14-1 record have led college basketball experts, including ESPN's Jay Williams and Big Ten Network's Tim Doyle to already claim Smith's team could be crowned conference champions this year. But not so fast. What happens after the Gophers' game Wednesday, Jan. 9, at Illinois (14-2, 1-1)? Does that title talk go away with a loss? Does it sky rocket after a win?
Minnesota beat one ranked nonconference opponent in Memphis in the Bahamas. The Tigers weren't able to climb back into the top 25 since then. Michigan State was the first real signature win, but it was one that you would expect from a top 10 team against a near top 20 team at home. Beating Illinois, a legitimate top five Big Ten team, in Champaign would obviously be the best victory on Minnesota's resume at this point. Again, though, it wouldn't technically be an upset. The ranked teams in the Big Ten have only lost one home game combined so far this season (Ohio State falling to Kansas).
But I still think no matter what happens Wednesday, the Gophers need to win either on Saturday at Indiana or the following week against Michigan at home. In my opinion, those two games are a better indicator as to what Minnesota is capable of. And I predict that the Gophers will go 1-2 during this three-game stretch with a win against Illinois, which means they're not quite ready to be in the conversation for a title with Indiana and Michigan.
Game prediction: Gophers 75, Illinois 73

UTEP Finishes Perfect In Conference USA With 65-50 Victory Over Tulsa
March 1, 2008 Final Stats | AP Photo Gallery | Photo Gallery
No. 19/23 UTEP raced out to a 9-0 lead and enjoyed a 20-point edge at the half on the way to a defeating Tulsa, 65-50, becoming the first team in league history to go unbeaten in Conference USA play as result. The Miners' 21st consecutive victory sent the 2008 senior class of Kasia Krezel, Natasha Lacy, Tasha Marisett, Claudia Porras and Izabela Piekarska out in style. It also afforded UTEP its initial perfect record at home in program annals, as the Miners posted a 14-0 mark in With the triumph, UTEP concludes the regular season at 25-2 and 16-0 in C-USA play, while the Golden Hurricane finished with respective records of 10-19 and 6-10. "This is a special, special group," UTEP head coach Keitha It was only fitting that the UTEP forced The Miners' started white hot, holding the Golden Hurricane scoreless the first six-and-a half minutes of the ball game. UTEP had no such troubles, vaulting ahead to an early double-digit edge (14-4) courtesy of a pair of Krezel free throws.

"In the absence of all hope, we cry out our cry of hope," Palestinian Christian leaders, representing churches and church-related organizations, meeting in Bethlehem on December 11, concluded in their 13-page document titled "Kairos Palestine 2009: A Moment of Truth," enlisting Christians worldwide in proactive efforts to end the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. Their "cry" symbolizes the popular mood of their people as well as the political status quo.
On both sides of the inter-Palestinian divide between the U.S. backed presidency and the Israeli hunted legislative, the Fatah led West Bank (where the leadership of the Palestine Liberation organization (PLO) is committed to peace, direct negotiations and security coordination with the Israeli occupying power, but the 16 year old "peace process' has reached an impasse and the negotiations are deadlocked in a one year old stalemate over the cancer like expanding Jewish colonial settlements) and the Hamas led Gaza Strip (where the Islamic resistance Movement (Hamas) is strictly committed to ceasefire save in self defense while conducting indirect negotiations mediated by Egypt and Germany over an exchange of POWs), both political and military solutions for the over half-century old Arab/Israeli conflict have failed and aborted all prospects of peace, which have proved an elusive mirage, a stark failure of the U.S. led world community. An imminent explosion seems the only breakthrough ahead.
"There is no bilateral solution. The fastest road to the next round of violence is through another failed negotiation process ... and it has zero chance. Next year "could be ripe for an explosion," Gershon Baskin of the Israel-Palestine Center for Research and Information told a Russian-sponsored debate on the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea last week. The "dangerous standstill" needs a "rescue mission," the speakers said, according to Reuters. Former Russian Prime Minister Evgeny Primakov warned that a "real crisis" could develop if the international community did not intervene, adding that the role of the so-called Middle East Quartet (the United States, United Nations, Russia and the European Union) was in default. On December 15, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the PLO Central Council in Ramallah: "Now the ball is in the international community's court and in America's court."
But Abbas seems to knock at the wrong door. Barack Obama will go down in history as the first U.S. president who pushed a life-long Palestinian ally like Abbas to publicly pronounce the first ever pronounced Palestinian "disappointment" with the United States and its role as the mediator in the conflict, despite the Palestinian euphoria Obama invoked when he chose Abbas as the first foreign leader to give a phone call as soon as he set foot in the White House. The Obama Administration "made zero progress. Not only, of course, has it failed even to get negotiations going " but there isn't the slightest shred of evidence to believe that anything is going to change in the rest of its term," director of the Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center, Interdisciplinary university, Barry Rubin wrote in Global Politician on December 19.
Obama shot down the mission of his presidential envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell, when he sent Secretary of State Hillary Clinton early in March ostensibly on a mission to bring together Palestinian and Israeli leaders to resume their negotiations, but her mission was a resounding failure because she did exactly the opposite, which made her visit the milestone of her administration's shift from what was believed by the Palestinians as an honest broker to a mediator who aborted his mediation by completely adopting the views of the Israelis.
The following U.S. Israeli deal to kill the Goldstone report in the bud -- allegedly because it created a "fairly substantial gap" between the two sides (Assistant U.S. Secretary of State P.J. Crowley on December 10) -- indicated that Clinton's failure was not a personal one but an official policy that should have been expected after Obama failed to back up his earlier demand for a "freeze" of Israeli colonial settlement as a precondition for the resumption of Palestinian Israeli talks, a demand that misled Abbas to demand no less, and to become the hostage of an un-honored U.S. promise and of his own decision to put all his eggs in the American basket.
Obama and his administration show no regrets, but are following in the footsteps of the traditional U.S. Israeli strategic alliance, dispelling whatever remains of Obama's promises of "change' to his voters. Last week Obama signed the foreign aid budget law for 2010, raising security aid to Israel by US$225 million the next year to US$2.775 billion, an aid which under a MoU is to rise from $2.55 billion in 2009 to $3.1 billion in 2013. Arabs, including Palestinians, view this aid as fueling the Israeli intransigence in the peace process. The $500 million allocated to the Palestinian Authority (PA), including $100 million to be used by US General Keith Dayton, practically boils down to a contribution to keep the PA floating as a collateral for Israel's security.
Even in the best of times, long before the inter-Palestinian division, the 2002 military reoccupation of the PA territory in the West Bank and the current tight siege imposed on Gaza, the PA has become dependent on donors since the PLO-Israeli "Declaration of Principles" (DoP) was signed in Washington DC in 1993, relieving the Israeli occupying power of its obligations under international law.
Grudgingly but gratefully the PLO accepted the donors' money as a temporary arrangement, pending the end of the interim period in final status negotiations that were supposed to conclude by the creation of an independent Palestinian state living in peace and security side by side with Israel as promised by the U.S. led international community first in 1999, then in 2005, again in 2008, and now within two years according to Obama administration.
Politically however, the donors' money have become a temporary permanent arrangement, relieving the budget of the occupying power of burdens it must be held responsible for, financing the unending military occupation, defusing the economic incentive for revolt against the occupation, and holding the PA and the PLO hostages to the political conditions attached to donors' contributions.
Disillusionment with the role the donors' money is playing is growing alongside the Palestinian disillusionment with the "peace process." The Palestinians, who contributed substantially to regional state building and who still contribute to many regional economies are a resourceful and indignant people who have the capital, the expertise and skillful labor, the scientific and intellectual manpower, and the intelligence and the political will to build their own society once they are empowered with self determination to gain liberty, freedom and independence. With the growing disillusionment, the donors' political role is increasingly becoming suspicious, creating a sense of humiliation, exacerbating the national frustration, and could not any longer keep the lid tightly on the boiling refusal of the interim turned permanent status quo.
Palestinian sense of betrayal by the international community is as old as the United Nations General Assembly's 1947 resolution No. 181 for the partition of their homeland into two states and its resolution No. 194 of 1948 for their return to their homeland. This same sense of betrayal has a strong vocal voice in the West Bank recently in the "disappointment" that Abbas, the signatory to (DoP), made clear by declaring his irrevocable decision not to run anew for presidency: "I found all ways blocked, then I decided not to rerun for another term. I am not optimistic and I do not want to have illusions," he had told the London based Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat. In the Gaza Strip, the latest chapter of the betrayal of the world community was voiced in Paris on December 22 by sixteen rights groups, including Amnesty International, Oxfam, and Christian Aid: "The international community has betrayed the people of Gaza by failing to back their words with effective action to secure the ending of the Israeli blockade. World powers have also failed and even betrayed Gaza's ordinary citizens. They have wrung hands and issued statements, but have taken little meaningful action," they said in a report.
This sense of betrayal is explosive given the political siege imposed under the direct Israeli military occupation on the PLO and PA in the West Bank and the Israeli military siege imposed tightly on the Gaza Strip. Conditions are ripe for a third Palestinian "Intifada" (uprising) in the West Bank and all indications refer to a renewal of Israeli military invasion of Gaza.
Abbas, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on December 22 warned of an imminent "Intifada." True he pledged that, "As long as I'm in office, I will not allow anybody to start a new intifada. Never. Never. But if I leave, it's no longer my responsibility and I can't make any guarantees," he said.
Meanwhile in the Gaza Strip, Hamas, on the eve of the first anniversary of the December 27 Israeli three-week invasion, is warning against an imminent Israeli new invasion. Their strongest indicator is a steel wall the U.S. Engineering Corps are building underground to block an estimated 1,500 tunnels that span the 14-kilometer Sinai-Gaza border. In January 2008 thousands of Arab Palestinians from Gaza swarmed the Egyptian Gazan borders as an outlet into a compatriot Arab government who nonetheless proved no more compassionate to their plight under siege than the Israelis when they immediately after the episode closed their border crossings. The tunnels were the Palestinian alternative.
Now the U.S. made 18 meter steel slabs, which were tested in U.S. laboratories to resist bombs, melting or cutting and meant to reach 30 meters underground, threaten -- in addition to disrupting and contaminating the underground water flow -- when the project is completed, reportedly in eighteen months, to deprive them of sixty percent of their basic needs, according to the UNRWA American Commissioner General, Karen Koning AbuZayd, who told a forum organized by the American University in Cairo that the steel wall is more secure than the Bar Lev Line, built by Israeli military along the eastern coast of the Suez Canal after it occupied the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt in 1967.

- - adding water....evaporation problem
adding water....evaporation problem need some suggestions for adding water. been having a lot of water evaporarate cause of the 100+ degrees weather in tx. is it ok to add water untreated? i have a 55gal and prob need to add a half a gallon or so. anyone got any suggestions for a noob? thx in advance! |
1/2 gallon in a 55 gallon tank is not even 1%, assuming the tank is otherwise full. As long as your tap water isn't contaminated it's fine. |
keep a 5 gallon bucket of treated water right next to the tank, easy enough to do, then you don't risk adding extra chlorine. |
Also you could use empty jugs, just treat for the amount of water the container holds, easier to add water when needed, and can keep sealed to keep stuff from getting in. Would not add untreated tap water for the reason stated above |
so spring water like you buy at the grocery store? was also thinking about distilled....would that be ok? my thinking would be that as the water evaporates that the all the bacteria, chemicals, etc in the tank would get more concentrated....if you added pure water, in theory it would bring everything back to normal. if you added treated water it would bring those levels up. im a noob so you tell me whats right. i dont know if it is related but i did add about a gal to the tank of my tap water and i had 2 floaters this afternoon.....id say about 15-20 hours after water was added. they didnt seem to be injured or eaten by the other fish like my first 3 neons. |
Concentration should not be an issue if you are doing weekly water changes to keep your nitrates in check, assuming your tank is cycled. Never add tap water unless you add a dechlorinator in with it as it is the quickest way to kill off your stock and the beneficial bacteria. |
^ did the 5 in 1 test strip and it shows everything to be at good levels...so hmm? |
The test strips are not always very reliable. I would suggest in investing in a liquid test kit like the API master test kit, it has all that you would need for checking your parameters and you can get it at your LFS. If you are unable to find one there you can also pick one up online at a site like big al's online, or foster and smith. Big Al's offers free shipping on orders over $75, and foster and smith offers free shipping on orders over $49. You can always add something like replacement filter cartidges to the order to make the price you need for free shipping. I have found that my filter replacements are cheaper to buy that way then at the LFS, and you can keep the extras in storage until you need them. |

Bad weather is weighing on my mind now as in August, from 20th to 22nd, I'll be going with the MAAD gang to the Singapore Art Museum(SAM) to sell our handmade creations. Well, actually the stalls will be outside SAM so now you understand why rain would ruin everything. I must cater for flooding! The SAM gig is part of Singapore HeritageFest 2010 – Heritage Sparkles in the City. There will be performances inside SAM as well as outside.
The 3-day SAM gig is just a month away and despite my extremely low stock, I'm still sewing slowly. Today, I was counting the number of bags I have and I started to panic. So next week, I resolve to put in 8 hours of sewing every day.
I should mention that I won't be selling at red dot design museum from 7th to 8th August. I have a party to attend.
This week my mind is still on drawstring bags. However, my focus is on the bottoms. My previous batch of drawstring pouches had flat bottoms.This week, I played around with FAT bottoms. What a difference a fat bottom does to a drawstring bag. Take a look.
Rectangular bottom
I was delighted to discover I have enough leftover of this fabric to make a medium size drawstring bag.
This bottom is deliberately small in order to create a poufy effect. If you don't know how to make a small circle match a larger circle, here's how. You sew long running stitches on the larger circle and pull creating gathers. The larger circle will also become smaller. Pull the thread tighter till both circles match. And that's how it's done.
Poufy Drawstring Bag
Piped Round Bottom
This drawstring bag is much larger. I wanted it to have a fat bottom but without the pouf. Also I added a little red and white gingham border at the mouth of the bag just for fun.I completed the 2 zip pouches I was working on. The red one with elephant applique is listed for sale at my Etsy and my Zibbet. Available until 19th August. Take a look if you are interested.
Another 5 projects completed. 990 more projects to go!

Total construction spending fell 2.5% in December and October and November spending was revised sharply lower. This erases the previously reported small three month gain in construction spending and drops current spending to slightly below last August. The construction recovery is still expected early in 2011 but has been delayed slightly.
Three factors caused the yearend decline in construction activity. Over half of the decline was due to a huge downward revision in residential construction spending. This is implausible. Similar sharp drops in the last few years have often been revised away. Other market data suggest that remodeling work is at least steady and may be rising slowly. The huge drop will be revised away or offset by a huge gain in the next few months and hence will little impact on the 2011 level of remodeling spending.

Fun with Google's New "Ngram Viewer"
After playing around with the website for a few hours, I have to say: this is pretty amazing. The ability to quantify things that had once been subjective 'hunches' on the part of scholars ("did publications about witches decline during the Enlightenment?") is nothing short of revolutionary. Of course, this must come with the caveat that the Google Books database, large as it is, still amounts to only a small fraction of all printed materials (perhaps 4%), and there may well be significant errors in the dating of books and Google's text-recognition tools.
In short, I'm not yet prepared to use this stuff for my academic work, but I do think it has amazing promise, and graphing the histories of different words can be enormous fun to boot. Some examples:
Note the spike in references to the devil during the rise of the Puritans in the 1610-30 period! And the great decline circa 1740, advent of the so-called 'Age of Reason.'
Here I was trying to get a glimpse into the shift in discourses about the supernatural in printed English over the course of the long eighteenth century. Capitalized 'Witch' declines very sharply around 1710 -- a counterpoint with the more vague 'prodigies' and 'apparitions,' which rise steadily throughout the period. Seems to accord nicely with the view that the supernatural became less easily explainable in this period.
I might post more in the next few days. Also: I invite readers to post their own in the comments section! Tweet

I'm suspicious of the scope of the data. The books collected must've been quite random and hence very unrepresentative of certain random times.
For example, the conspicuous valley before 1650 must've been the result of "oversampling" of books during those years, suppressing the the % of "Witch" to be so low.
I believe the truth is much much more subtle and nuanced than sudden rises and drops as depicted by any graph from Ngram. I agree with the cautious notes you're both sounding. I don't yet think this is a usable technique for historians because of errors in text-recognition technology and dating problems. But I do think the melding of computer science and historical studies that this represents has huge potential, and will probably be usable in the not-too distant future.
As for the small/unrepresentative sample size - point well taken. But then again, most of the data sets that early modern historians have available to them are incomplete and unrepresentative (social historians frequently have to deal with years or even decades of document series that are missing due to fire, theft, misplacement, etc. - Lisbon pre-earthquake being a classic example). In other words, as long as we're fully aware of the limitations and integrate that awareness into our methods, I don't think quantitative data from Google Books need necessarily be discounted simply because it doesn't represent ALL books that have ever been printed, or even a large percentage of them.
For now though, I definitely agree that its more of a parlor game than anything else - although a potentially revealing one. As an example, I like the clever exploration of typographical changes that I came across elsewhere on the web: do a search comparing "best" and "beft" between 1700 and 1900. The result is an x-shaped chart that pinpoints the years when printers decided to abandon the old style 'long s' shape. Example: http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=best%2Cbeft&year_start=1700&year_end=1900&corpus=0&smoothing=3
Thanks to you both for your stimulating comments!

Andrew Neil speaks with PSE chief executive Hans B. Sicat
Read more: Philippines securities lending exchange
Securities lending is a priority focus area for the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) exchange this year, according to the head of the country's major bourse.
Hans B. Sicat, PSE's president and chief executive, told Global Investor/ISF that the country has yet to experience the "full vibrancy" of securities borrowing and lending (SBL).
He hopes that will start to change in 2017, noting that PSE executives are currently in the process of drafting implementing guidelines for short selling along with a list of eligible securities.
"The PSE realises the need for increased access to SBL," Sicat said. "Based on the experiences of exchanges in neighboring countries, the SBL facility improved liquidity when institutional investors started to join the program.
"Increasing the supply available for securities lending and getting our short selling program off the ground are priority initiatives of the exchange."
The general regulatory framework for securities borrowing and lending (SBL) in the Philippines was put in place in 2006.
However, at present, SBL is bilateral or is transacted directly between the lender and the borrower.
There are currently no registered lending agents in the country who act as SBL intermediaries in other markets.
Under existing rules, trading participants who wish to conduct SBL transactions should enter into a master securities loan agreement (MSLA) among themselves and register this with the Philippine tax agency, the Bureau of Internal Revenue, for the SBL transaction to be tax exempt.
"SBL volumes in the local stock market have been growing but the number of transactions is really driven by demand for fails settlement management," Sicat added.
"We have been in regular contact with international banks throughout the development process of our SBL and short selling regulations.
"We think that there is significant interest, which we hope to realize by providing regulations that will be acceptable to these participants."
Meanwhile, pension funds and insurers have expressed their interest to participate in the PSE's SBL program.
For instance, the Insurance Commission issued guidelines to allow insurance companies to participate as lenders in securities borrowing and lending transactions.
"We are beginning to see the landscape change in regards to more and more owners actively participating in lending," said Brian Leung, equities trading & client development, APAC, agency securities lending, Deutsche Bank.
"While it would be unfamiliar territory for many funds entering the market for the first time, they remain tremendously enthusiastic to partner with proficient lenders that can tailor their programme to suit their exact needs and guidelines while extracting meaningful return."
PSE's Sicat hopes that the exchange can more institutions to participate once the short selling program starts and the bourse launches a more focused market education program for this facility.
He added that the PSE recently assisted the insurance commission in establishing guidelines which allowed insurance companies to invest in ETFs.
PSE has grown significantly over the past 13 years.
Statistics from the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) show total value of shares traded reached US$40bn in 2015 from only US$3.2bn in 2004.
