Nessa Conely, of the Night Wing Guild.
I stood, poised over the wizard, scythe inches from his throat. A killing blow, but I would not do it.
"Care, don't do this," the boy managed to say. Frustrated, I swung the scythe back around and hit him in the skull with the base. Sending up a magic flare, signaling the Night Wings, I bound his hands together.
It was then that I spotted her. The girl that I still looked like, scythe in hand, her dark hair waving around her face from the pure magical energy that radiated from her. You didn't have to have any special abilities to see that she was nearly bursting with it.
She was weaving through the battlefield drunkenly, her eyes wild. Keeping up the illusion, I strode toward her, scythe at the ready. As I came close, I knew it was her fear, her nightmare, that I had seen.
"Look what you've done, Carissa," I said ominously, using her voice.
"What?" The girl was struggling to hold on, but she brandished her own scythe at me. I knew to her it was like looking in the mirror. "No, no! Supernova will not back down!"
"Supernova is finished!" I said, beginning the battle. I didn't have much time before she began to absorb my magic energy as well. She was already so charged with it, she could barely stand, but I knew that a blast from that kind of power would be devastating. I needed to find a way to cool her off, discharge the energy. Circling around, I tried to move in closer.
"Stay back!" Carissa shouted, swinging her scythe. I wondered why she hadn't fired off her energy yet, but I still stepped forward. My own magic energy was running low and I was feeling a little faint.
I had enough left for one big illusion, so I started one. I made Carissa see herself, glowing with magic energy. I let the glow grow, and blew it out in an explosion, sending out nearly all of what was left of my energy to knock her back. It was just my luck that it was enough to knock the girl back against a large piece of rubble, where her head slammed back, and she fell unconscious to the ground.
Picking myself up from the ground, the tension in the air had dissipated. Carissa lay crumpled in a heap in the rubble, but she was breathing. Tossing a quick illusion over her like a blanket, I hid her from sight. It wouldn't last longer than a few hours; I was really low on energy now. I was about to cut the power to my own appearance, still exactly like Carissa, when a hand grabbed my arm, and the battlefield vanished, to be replaced with the concerned faces of the supernova survivors.
What had I done?

SRAM GX 2x11 Grip Shifter Set
Grip shifters often suffer from an unfounded stigma of lower quality and a less hard core reputation than their trigger shifting cousins. Not so with the SRAM GX 2x11 Grip Shifter Set. These shifters are packed with technology built to orchestrate fast, precise gear shifts to successfully navigate the trail. SRAM designed these shifters with a keen eye on speed and functionality to meet the needs of riders looking for top end grip shifting. X Actuation technology paired with Speed Metal indexing means GX Grip Shifters maintain consistent shifting across the entire cassette for predictable shifting every time. SRAM's Rolling Thunder technology uses three rows of bearings to eliminate friction and play, leading to a reduction in the force required to shift. Less effort to shift means more energy for the pedals and more attention on the trail ahead. To keep everything solidly on your handlebars, the SRAM GX 2x11 Grip Shifter Set features Jaws lock on grips that boast forged aluminum clamps on both ends of the grip and shifter interface to secure the mechanism safely in place and eliminate worries of slipping shifters along the way.

Report summary
Although the Slovakian oil products market is fully liberalised, it remains dominated by Slovnaft, which has been a wholly-owned affiliate of MOL since 2000. Slovnaft is the country's sole refiner and effectively controls the internal wholesale market for petroleum products. In 2014, OMV, Eni, Shell and Unipetrol were competing with a marketing presence in Slovakia and manufacturing support from neighbouring countries. In Aug 2014, Norm Benzinkut Kft acquired Lukoil's service stations across the country. In July 2015 MOL's acquisition of Eni's fuels marketing business was finalised. Slovakia is a surplus market, exporting 70% of domestically refined products.

The Foreign Office (FO) has referred the decision about whether the UK should make a claim against Japan to compensate former prisoners of war (PoWs) to the Government's most senior lawyers, the Attorney General and Solicitor General.
Leigh Day & Co senior partner Martyn Day, acting for the ex-PoWs, wants the FO to seek independent legal advice on whether the UK should claim to compensate 10,000 ex-PoWs and civilian internees under article 26 of the 1951 Peace Treaty with Japan.
FO minister Derek Fatchett told Day last week he would refer the issue to the Attorney General, John Morris, and Solicitor General, Ross Cranston – a minor victory itself for the campaign.
However, Fatchett told Day that FO lawyers opposed an article 26 action. He said the Government could not make a claim because of repeated parliamentary statements since the 1950s that Japan had resolved its responsibilities.
Day says: "That is absolutely ridiculous. The claims that were made in Parliament were erroneous because the Government could have claimed.
"It is the British Government's fault this mess happened and if they won't claim they should pay the compensation themselves."

I didn't get a chance to use the lift up the mountain as I had planned when I booked this location. The last lift goes up before 4 pm & does not come back down until 9 am the next morning. Also in the morning the fire alarm went off, so I packed up quickly to check-out & didn't spend more time relaxing in my room. The view was nice but you need to make sure you ask for a view of the mountains when booking.

Absurdly, three of the seven Group One races staged at Royal Ascot this week were over within 80 minutes on Tuesday. Sure enough, not a single Group One winner is on view today, with just three of the fillies lining up for its only elite contest having even made the podium at that level.
As such, it seems curious that double-figure odds are available against More Than Real, who has been sent all this way by the top trainer in the US, Todd Pletcher. Admittedly, she must prove herself on easier ground in the Coronation Stakes, and has not been seen since November. But horses with dirt pedigrees sometimes find deeper turf highly congenial, while that last public sighting was at the Breeders' Cup itself – and in the winner's circle.
More Than Real had decisively outpaced her rivals for the Juvenile Fillies' Turf, as today over a turning mile. Half-a-dozen lengths away, in fifth, came Together, who is favourite today, after twice finishing second in Classics this spring. Together has not won in her last eight starts, and you could hardly be surprised were she to find a way of extending that sequence from the widest draw.
In contrast, More Than Real starts right next to the rails. As it happens, she managed to overcome a wide berth at Churchill Downs, on only her third start. She arrives here with every right to further progress, while those anxious about her absence do her record-breaking trainer a disservice. Coming here hardly looks a whim and she recently clocked five furlongs in 58.5 seconds over the turf at Belmont.
Those not convinced should perhaps try Joviality, herself lightly raced and representing a trainer with great depth among his three-year-old fillies in John Gosden.
The Americans had a fancied raider in the Albany Stakes, but Judy The Beauty, regarded as the best of Wesley Ward's team this week, is a doubtful runner. In any case, Jim Bolger is a hard man to stop when he has a filly as tough and precocious as Teolane (2.30).
Sir Henry Cecil saddled first and second in the strongest maiden of the year at Newbury in April, and both have chances in the other Group races today. Solar Sky (5.00) should relish the longer trip, while World Domination deserves another chance after failing in his Derby trial. Even so, he has his work cut out against Nathaniel, who ran the subsequent Epsom runner-up so close at Chester – and both will ensure too big a price against Fulgur (3.05). The handicaps are predictably competitive, but Lost In The Moment (4.25) remains ahead of his rating, while King Of Jazz (5.35) has youth on his side, improvement looking especially likely back at this trip.
Turf account
Chris McGrath's Nap
Fulgur (3.05 Ascot) Fascinating that shrewd connections should squander a very fair handicap rating in such hot company, but he will be a big price and massive improvement looks guaranteed over this trip.
Next best
Lost In The Moment (4.25 Ascot) Charged home just too late after getting behind from a wide draw at Chester the other day, and can keep Mickaël Barzalona in the news so long as this does not come too soon.
One to watch
Springinmystep (Michael Dods) Shaped well at Ascot on Tuesday, caught up in traffic early before keeping on well through midfield.
Where the money's going
The gamble continues on Deacon Blues for the Wokingham tomorrow, now 6-1 favourite from 7-1 with Totesport.

Total # of useful IPs?
This guy on a server wouldn't shut up about how you can only have 2 IPs, any more are useless. Everyone else seemed to think it was at least 3, possibly 4, before any more were useless.
Anyone know the definitive answer?

Troll much?
To tone down the flame aspect, here's how things actually went down, but hidden. Feel free to skip if you dont care, but i just have to set this straight.
You began as the comm and when everyone begged you to get a third IP (on a 32 server with high marine deaths), you said it was useless because they won't spawn in any more than two.
The whole marine team laughed at you for it, and then we proceeded to demand that you drop a 3rd ip so we could show you. And we showed you (i guess you bailed on comm there too? I saw you staring at IPs for about 5 mins).
Then you started on this tangent about how only two can spawn at the exact same time, which is a completely different argument than your original. You couldn't seem to grasp that each IP has its own cooldown, but maybe you did that on purpose.
As for the rest of your post here (me apparently spamming the mic, calling you ignorant and 'uncool', lol)... Give up your trolling.
So, hopefully someone will give some proper answers on this question, since I'm pretty sure it's been about 5 years since the IP spawn system has been touched, and that the utility has been maxed at 3 (or even 4) for that whole time.Professional Game and Level Designer, thanks to NS!

You read it first in Tulkinghorn. Last October, The Lawyer's diary suggested the Law Society spice up the dull Solicitors' Annual Conference by holding it in EuroDisney.
And now the society has decided the 1999 conference will indeed be hosted by Mickey, Goofy and pals in Paris.
The society is desperate to attract younger solicitors to the conference, which it claims will not cost significantly more than traditional venues such as Bournemouth, this year's location.
Conference chairman Mark Stephens, of Stephens Innocent, said: "I wanted to get away from the old idea of a conference as a golf tour for the middle aged." He promised the 1999 conference would be "a festival of law".
Robert Sayer, the newly-elected vice-president of the Society, said he had suggested EuroDisney for a joke at last year's "incredibly boring" conference in Cardiff.
He welcomed the moves but wanted reassurance that EuroDisney offered the best facilities in Northern France.

(Disclaimer: We don't own Redwall or Lord of the Rings. The PPC idea comes from Jay and Acacia, who first came up with the idea.)
Protectors of the Plot Continuum: Mossflower Division
By Bubonic Woodchuck
It was night-time. The birds were asleep. The stars shone black in the sky. Under regular circumstances, 'stars shining black' would have been impossible; however, in this world, anything could happen.
The warrior stood alone on the ramparts of Redwall Abbey, watching, waiting for dawn.
He was a well-built mouse, the light of a fighter shining in his hard eyes. He could not be moved. He had suffered through too much to let himself be pushed around. He was Martin the Warrior, one of the Founders of Redwall, and he had paid much to become what he was now - and paid dearly.
A single word pushed its way into his mind, and almost instantly he thought of Eradrïnynae Yrladdrym. The young mousemaid had only arrived at Redwall a few days before, but she bore on her features such a resemblance to his Rose that she had taken his breath away.
True, she was an outcast from her clan - her clan, the stars in the night sky above - because she had been born an albino, with golden eyes. But she had a wonderful personality, and Martin the Warrior thought that there was no-beast in all of Mossflower like her. She could wield a blade better than Martin himself, and could strike a dragonfly on the wing if she but held a bow in her paws.
Even as he thought of her, Martin was aware of footsteps padding behind him.
Eradrïnynae glided to his side, her fiery golden eyes focused on him.
"You are thinking about your lost love," she said. It was not a question.
Martin turned, and nodded. He realised, as if for the first time, that the mousemaid's beauty was breathtaking; indeed, she was more beautiful than a breeze-blown spring day... Trembling, he slid his paws about her slender waist, and both of them shared a long embrace, and a passionate kiss.
It was Eradrïnynae that broke away first. She stared up at him with her gentle eyes, longing to be next to him eternally. Martin looked back down at her, and he placed a paw on the jewel between her eyes that showed she was an outcast from the stars. It was turning blue, a sign that she was in love. "You are like Rose, and yet you are not," he breathed.
"You are...seeking your Rose," she murmured. "I sense this. I feel your aura growing dark."
Martin was shocked. "How do you know this?" he asked.
"Easy. It's 'cos she's a Mary-Sue," smirked a voice.
"Yeah, they're all like that. You get used to it after you go on a coupla missions," a second chimed in.
Martin and Eradrïnynae spun around to see a ferret and a weasel leaning on the battlements, nasty grins on their faces. The ferret was clad in a plain brown jerkin, and seemed to carry no weapons, save a rather suspicious-looking pouch tied to her belt. The weasel was sporting a tunic that appeared to have been green once upon a time, but was now discoloured, and rather dirt-stained. She was toting a longbow. Martin's sword was out and pointed at the pair in a split-second.
"Who are you, and how did you get here?"
"Stay out of this, Martin," warned the ferret. "We just want the mousemaid."
"Yeah. She's disrupting the continuum," added the weasel.
"Save me, Martin!" shrieked Eradrïnynae. "Help!"
"Never fear, my love," exclaimed Martin gallantly. "They will never defeat me!" Having said these completely out-of-character words, he waved his sword dramatically and rushed towards the vermin, who both winced at this obvious breach of canon.
"I really duwanna do this," began the ferret, "but desperate stuff...calls for...other desperate stuff. I forget how the saying goes." She produced a blowpipe from her pouch, and before anybeast could blink an eye, Martin was out cold on the ground, a small tufted dart protruding from his shoulder.
"Ohhhh," wailed Eradrïnynae. "They have slain my love. The vermin have killed him, the cowards, without a fair fight." Her eyes flashed red; she pulled the sword from the unconscious Martin's paw, and proceeded to advance toward the vermin duo. The ferret danced forward and caught Eradrïnynae a blow between the eyes, just below the blue jewel, stunning the mousemaid momentarily.
"Oh, hell's whiskers." The weasel drew a shaft from a quiver and slid it onto her bowstring. "You do the charges, Shay."
Shay waved her blowpipe around dramatically as she recited, "Eradrïnynae Yrladdrym, you are charged with being 'an albino with golden eyes,' inducing said eyes to change color at will, having a 'magical crystal' implanted on your forehead, coming from the stars, resembling a canon character, being telepathic, being a god-moder, being a Warrior!Sue, and having a deleterious impact on the canon character of Martin the Warrior." The ferret waved the blowpipe again. "Any last words?"
"Draw steel, and fight me like a true warrior!" proclaimed the mousemaid.
Sssst... Thunk!
Even an inexperienced archer would have been hard put to miss at this range.
Shay smiled nastily as Eradrïnynae's eyes began to cloud. "D'you knows, I forgot to tell you. We're not warriors. We're assassins. And we kill Mary-Sues." She slung the now-dead mousemaid over her shoulder. "Let's go, Rena."
Rena plucked the dart from Martin's shoulder, tucked it back into the pouch at her side, opened up a portal with a strange-looking device, and the pair disappeared into the void as canon snapped back into place.
Martin awoke in a matter of minutes. Due to his unconscious state at the time of battle, and also to the fact that the poisoned dart had borne an ancient venom that erased all memory - known to the Protectors of the Plot Continuum as Bleepka - he remembered nothing about what had occurred...
And nothing about a young albino mousemaid named Mary-Sue.
"Neat job. Well done," said a voice.
Shay Williams pulled off her headset and virtual reality goggles, and looked eagerly at the tall Asian girl that stood beside her. "Really? You think so?"
"Yeah. Better than my first training mission, and believe me, that one's hard to top." The Asian girl grinned and patted Shay on the back. "Excellent, excellent. I think you're ready to start PPCing."
Shay's eyes widened. "You're kidding me, Rena."
"I'm not. That was one of the toughest missions on the hard drive."
"It was? That's the hardest the missions will get in the PPC?"
Rena Chang shook her head. "No. No, it's not. It's harder, wilder, tougher. It might seem fun at first, but then it gets bad." Her dark brown eyes seemed to be elsewhere.
It's tougher out there. A million times tougher. Your job is to kill Mary-Sues - and sometimes that means watching canon characters die. Watching them suffer. It's no wonder Upstairs wants us to recruit so much - it's to make up for all the agents that go insane, or leave, or get killed during missions. You'll learn, Shay. You'll learn in time. Why, just a while ago, Acacia in the Lord of the Rings department took extended leave, and she hasn't been back for a long while. Her favorite character...it was Boromir, wasn't it? Explains why she left...
"Rena? Rena?"
"Explains...a lot...huh?" Rena looked up into the worried green eyes of the new recruit.
"You spaced out for a moment there. You okay?"
"It's nothing, Shay. I'll be fine."
"You sure?" Shay looked skeptical.
Rena smiled. "I'm sure. Now, let's go to the SO. I think you're ready for the real thing."
"The SO?"
The sunflower seemed to beam down at Rena and Shay, waving it fronds eagerly.
A new recruit, is it, Rena? You've been busy.
Shay squeaked. "Rena...the flower...it's TALKING!"
And if that was a display of the recruit's mental capacity, I should have to say that I am unimpressed.
Rena twitched. "She's good with a bow. Better than the last one."
That's not saying much. The 'last one' shot herself every time she handled a bow.
"She got the intended target right between the eyes at a distance of five yards," continued Rena.
That's still not saying much, insisted the Sunflower Official, head of the Mary-Sue Department. Not much at all.
"You said we should recruit," said Rena, for the most part unfazed. "You never said the recruit had to be in working order."
"Am I in or not?" Shay interrupted, a bit put out at being continually referred to in the third person. "I mean, I can hit things from a farther distance than that. It's just the distance I was at and all..."
All right, all right. The CO ruffled its petals in a rather unsuccessful attempt at looking affronted. Get out of here.
Shay grinned. I'm in! she thought excitedly. I'm actually in the PPC!
[Rena's A/N: So here's the beginning to our PPC spinoff. Um...yeah. As you can tell, it would sort of help if you've read the original PPC series. And...leave a review. Yeah. And I know that I've a million WIPs to finish, but the urge to write a spinoff was just too strong. I'll update the others sooner or later.]
[Shay's A/N: I'm in the PPC! EEEEEE! So anyways it's great to be here. Big big big thank-you to Rena, who let me partner up with her, and über-big big big thank-you to the guys at the PPC Message Board, who authorised this. Do review. It makes us happy.]

Norwich - As Thomas Moody Jr. grew to adulthood and had children of his own, he realized he didn't want the story of his dramatic rescue and the loss of his mother in the 1963 Spaulding Pond Dam flood to become a vague family legend.
He wanted it to remain a real, strong, emotional story full of facts, heroes, history and sadness.
Moody was 4 on March 6, 1963, when his parents, Thomas and Margaret "Honey" Moody, and his brothers, Jimmy, 2, and Shawn, 6 months, were at their Lake Street home. Someone banged on the door. The Spaulding Pond Dam had burst and the water was headed their way.
Neighbor Tony Orsini, 19, helped the Moodys load their car and try to escape. The wall of water slammed into the sedan on Lake Street. All three adults lifted the children to a roof. When Thomas Sr. reached down to pull his wife from the churning water, in an instant she was swept away.
Moody Jr. was the keynote speaker Wednesday at the Norwich Historical Society's 50th anniversary program on the flood that killed six people - Margaret Moody and five workers at the Turner-Stanton Mill on Broad Street.
Moody has written a new book, "A Swift and Deadly Maelstrom: The Great Norwich Flood of 1963, a Survivor's Story." The 40 copies at Wednesday's program at Slater Auditorium at Norwich Free Academy sold out quickly. The books are available online and will be stocked at the Slater Memorial Museum gift shop and at Johnson's Florist and Gifts in Norwich.
The book took years of research, interviews with survivors, city officials and reporters who covered the flood and the legal battles that ensued.
Moody always had a need to know the exact details of that night. Over the years, he would ask his father pointed questions: Where did the car end up? Where was the roof and the tree they were perched in for an hour? Where was Mom found?
Other family members urged the younger Thomas to back off. Finally, his father responded.
"He said to me, 'Put yourself in my place. I was only trying to save you (kids) and Tony and myself. I had just lost your mother. I wasn't paying attention to where the damn car was,'" Thomas Jr. told about 100 people Wednesday.
The solemn program was not without humor. Moody explained how he learned that famous local author Wally Lamb was writing a fictionalized version of the flood story. In 2010, Lamb invited Moody to return to Norwich from his Texas home to walk the flood route with Orsini to learn some of the answers his father couldn't give him. Lamb attended Wednesday's program.
Lamb presented Moody and Orsini with posters of the front page of The Hartford Times from the day after the flood. He made a third copy for then-Times reporter Dennis Riley of Norwich, who also contributed his recollections to both authors.
Audience members added their memories to the story, recalling friendships with Moody's parents, other flood victims and survivors and businesses hit by the flood.
"There are names in the book that I can relate to," longtime Norwich resident Lewis Randall said. "… It's just a shame that this is what brought us all together."

This article was originally published on SailNet in November 2000.
With that vision in mind, its pretty easy to understand how racing sailboats is arguably one of the most complex sports ever devised by civilized man. And truly one of the most elusive aspects inherent in the game is its sourcewind. An enormous amount of information is available both online and in print about wind and how to understand it as a phenomenon, and it would behoove every serious racing sailor to digest as much of this as possible. But thats a lot to ask when youre getting ready for next weekends local championship and youve got a lot of other things on your list. So, to get an initial handle on the wind conditions that will likely prevail for a particular regatta, heres a short list of what to pay attention to and how to best prepare yourself:
At least three days before the first race, begin gathering weather data. Start by printing or cutting out the weather maps that cover the race location and place them side by side, creating a sequence that illustrates the flow of weather systems. Take particular note of the air temperatures in each image, and find out what the water temperature is for the general race area. If the water is cool and warm temperatures are forecast for the land near the race area, its likely that a predictable thermal flow will evolve.
- When you arrive at the regatta, keep that file of weather information handy, and add to it daily during the event. That information should help you determine whether youll be sailing in a high-pressure or low-pressure system, or in a transitional phase between the two. Under a high-pressure area, you can expect the winds to be more stable with regular oscillations. Under a low-pressure area, the winds will likely be less stable and therefore shifty. In a transitional phase, with a low moving in, the winds will likely be strong and steady. With a low giving way to higher pressure, chances are the winds will be fitful and unsteady.
- Gather as much local knowledge as possible regarding the normal wind patterns in the area. This will include information about any geographic influences that might play a part. But be sure of your sources. Anyone can spout a few lines (or write them for that matter) about the local wind, so make sure youre listening to an astute sailor whos been racing actively in that location for several years. And if tide or current are apt to be factors, check in with the fishermen that frequent the area because they'll likely have a handle on those phenomena.
Get out on the racecourse early and take visual observations of the conditions. Ideally plan to be out on the course more than an hour before the start so that you can get accustomed to the conditions and get a handle on what the wind is doing. At the 1986 J/24 Worlds in Newport, RI, Chris Hufstader was part of the tactical team on board Ken Reads winning boat 96 Degrees. After garnering accolades for their victory at the end of the week, Hufstader revealed that one of the team's keys to success was going out early to the racecourse and timing the wind's oscillations. Because of the conditions on those days, they knew more or less when they would need to tack to hit the next shift, and so they positioned themselves accordingly.
- Keep an eye on the weather while youre out on the water. This may sound overly simplistic, but you'd surprised how few competitors take this important factor into account. So watch the clouds, if there are any, in the immediate region. Dense clouds that are low on the horizon will have an impact on the wind, usually causing it to intensify in strength and either to veer or back.
- If youre sailing more than one race each day, keep in mind that the wind will likely change throughout the day. In a reference to the earths rotation, Lightning Champion and sailmaking pioneer Bill Shore used to say, "when youre racing in the northern hemisphere, go right." That's an over-simplification of course, but it serves as a good reminder for racers to be vigilant regarding the trends in weather.
- When sailing in a multi-class regatta with other classes starting ahead of yours, make sure someone on your boat watches these boats as they leave the starting line area and sail upwind (assuming its an upwind start). By simply watching the boats that start ahead of you, its possible to learn a lot about what the wind is doing up the course. Having a good pair of binoculars on board will come in handy here.
- If its a multiple-day regatta, try to give your crew an idea of the conditions they can anticipate for the next day of racing. This will help them prepare mentally.

The funny thing is that Margaret Thatcher quite liked Europe. 'Britain does not dream of some cosy, isolated existence on the fringes of the European Community. Our destiny is in Europe, as part of the Community'. Re-reading the Bruges speech, delivered 25 years ago this Friday, British pro-Europeans may find much good sense: an attack on the flaws of the CAP, an appeal for less regulation and more enterprise, support for the liberalisation of capital and a 'genuinely free market in financial services', hostility to protectionism, and lastly, support for a stronger European contribution to defence.
What Thatcher disliked about Europe was the 'Community method', devised largely by Jean Monnet, in which the European Commission initiates laws which are then enacted jointly by the European Parliament, representing the citizens, and the Council, representing the states. Although a stickler for keeping rules, Thatcher also resented the powers of the European Court of Justice over national courts. Typical of her countrymen, she loved pragmatism and loathed ideology. As she told her largely Francophone federalist audience in Bruges: 'The Community is not an end in itself. Nor is it an institutional device to be constantly modified according to the dictates of some abstract intellectual concept'.
'Willing and active cooperation between independent sovereign states is the best way to build a successful European Community. To try to suppress nationhood and concentrate power at the centre of a European conglomerate would be highly damaging ... I want to see us work more closely on the things we can do better than alone. But working more closely together does not require power to be centralised in Brussels or decisions to be taken by an appointed bureaucracy.' And in her most quoted sentence: 'We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them re-imposed at a European level with a European super-state exercising a new dominance from Brussels'.
British euroscepticism had its scripture. It became fashionable for Europe's leaders to blame Brussels for everything which went wrong and keep for themselves the applause when things went well. The interdependence of the EU states and the extra capability provided by the EU institutions were seldom acknowledged in public even while more duties and tasks were being foisted on the Union. National governments willed the ends but not the means, ever reluctant to give the EU the powers and resources it needs. Instead, national policies have been coordinated in a technocratic manner, leading to over-centralisation and a lack of democratic legitimacy. This tendency has been accentuated by way of crisis management after the financial crash. Rigid austerity has been imposed by 'Brussels' on the poorer member states with no clear lines of accountability. Executive authority is diffuse and opaque, and parliamentary control is divided between the European and national parliaments. European political parties are practically non-existent.
While much is said about the EU's supposed democratic deficit, however, the crisis has exposed a more acute deficit of government. The euro will be salvaged once banking union is in place and fiscal solidarity complements fiscal discipline. A fiscal union needs to be run by a federal government with a wide competence and flexible instruments, endowed with resources to match the level of Europe's political ambition. With stronger government will come stronger parliamentary democracy in which EU citizens can hold to account those in charge of their European affairs.
Begging Thatcher's pardon, but it is the European Commission which must be transformed into a democratic constitutional government if the more united Europe is to be better governed. It is ironic that one of the few European leaders to call openly for a fiscal union (albeit without the UK) is David Cameron. Other leaders who, unlike Cameron, intend to pursue the path of European integration need now to confront the Thatcher fallacy. 'More Europe' for its own sake is no more popular today than it was 25 years ago. But if the EU 'needs to be big on big things and smaller on smaller things', as José Manuel Barroso puts it, it needs the power of federal government.

Going Home
Henry sat in front of his gate at Logan Airport, hoping that his earlier semester work would overcome his performance this last week. The need to undo the conundrum of the Pulse had overtaken the need to derive polynomials.
On the plane, Henry went over what he knew. The Pulse cycled over eight days, six hours and twenty four minutes. This meant that the next iteration of the Pulse would begin just before Christmas. If he could predict that, then maybe he could record it, and that would be the first step to analysis.
But the Pulse wasn't sound. He couldn't just tape it. It wasn't light. A camera wouldn't work. The Pulse was some other kind of vibrational energy. Henry considered trying a seismograph, but ruled it out because even if the machine could detect the pulse, San Francisco's natural seismic activity would most probably obscure it.
Henry's plane landed and he collected his things. On the way home, he stopped at a music shop and bought a composition book. He would record the Pulse manually…

Skitter: Assignments
Skitter's sitting in the doorway she's been sleeping in for about a week now, the suit in a rucksack that Matt gave her for that very purpose. In one hand she's got the file she was handed by her employer. In the other, she's got a steaming cup of tea she bought for fifty pence from the little cafe on the corner. It's disgusting, but it's hot.
The one day you've got the money to stay in a hotel and you're still kipping in doorways. Seriously, Skitter, you have issues. She ignores the voice in her head. It's been there for as long as she can remember and never contributes much to the conversation.
The file tells her what she already knew: she's seriously outmatched here. Spying on politicians who've been fiddling their expenses and supplying second wives is easy for someone with her rather unique skill set, but spying on another super is going to be nearly impossible.
And there's one minor flaw in her employer's plan.
Skitter shoulders the rucksack, tucks the file under one arm, and tries to balance to the cup of tea as she gets to her feet. The shoes she's wearing aren't even worth wearing. She kicks them off and pads barefoot to the broken-down phonebox at the end of the street.
It's barely used these days, what with mobile phones, but she's never been in one place long enough to make it worth buying anything that has to be charged, and she'd never pay the bills on time. She pulls a few coins from her pocket - change from paying for the tea with a fiver - and dials the number on the last page of the file.
"It's Skitter," she says. If I were a real superhero, this'd be where I'd spin round and emerge wearing the suit. But everyone knows they don't exist. "I have a question."
"About the job?"
"Snake Eyes. Her apartment. I think you've overlooked something."
"And what would that be?" He sounds surprised; either he didn't think he'd make a mistake - ever - which she can well believe, or he hasn't yet got over the fact that his youngest spy just called him. She's never been known to use the phone.
"We're in London. She's in America. How the hell am I supposed to get across the seas?"
"Language, Skitter, you're too young for that."
"What, for hell? I've only lived in it for twelve years." She didn't meant that to sound flippant, but he's being ridiculous. Any kid abandoned a few days after their birth isn't going to be polite and cultured. She never even went to school. She can read because the older kids who looked after her taught her to do so.
"Cynicism isn't becoming to a young lady."
"Right, because it's so ladylike to listen in on government secrets for a living before you're old enough to have hit puberty, of course." Not that I'll ever hit it. Growth spurts - as if they're going to happen.
"You know what I mean. Well, you're going to get to the USA the same way anyone else does. On a plane. I'll cover it in your next pay cheque, of course - though what I've just given you should easily cover it."
"I don't have a passport."
There's a silence on the other end of the line. Somebody's looking at the phone box curiously; Skitter turns to face the other way, taking a sip of tea as she re-positions her few possessions to be easier to snatch up if anyone bursts in on her. "I'll get Matt to run you up in Req."
"But Ke--" She bites off the name she swore not to use in public. "I mean, I don't have a name. You can't tell him my name."
"You'll travel under a false one. Nothing's more fake than the one you've got, anyway. He'll pick one for you. Rest assured, Skitter, your secret is safe with me. Come into the office in a couple of days and pick it up from Requisitions. It should be ready by then."
A passport. She'll be a real citizen then, even if it's not her own name. "Right," she says, and is about to hang up when he speaks again.
"By the way, Skitter," he says, "You don't have to sleep in that doorway. If you don't trust the staff at hotels, we've got a few rooms here. You can take your pick any time you want."
She's touched by the concern in his voice but something else is bothering her. "You know where I'm sleeping?" she says.
"Yes, well, we keep an eye..."
"How long have you been spying on me?"
He starts to reply, but the phone clicks and goes dead. Her money's spent. Still, she gained something from that conversation. She might be spying for them, but they're spying on her.

1 killed in gyrocopter crash at Brevard airport
MALABAR, Fla. - A gyrocopter crashed on a Brevard County runway Monday morning at Valkaria Airport, according to the sheriff's office.
The pilot was killed in the crash. He was identified as Scott Adair. No other details on Adair were released.
The gyrocopter is a two-seat aircraft, similar to a helicopter.
Authorities said Adair was the only person on board.
The crash happened at the airport on Greenbrooke Street in Malabar, and authorities said the gyrocopter ended up crashing into a small plane that was parked on the runway.
WFTV was told that Adair has a hanger at the airport and is well-known to local pilots.
"Apparently, he's been at this airport for quite some time. He's known to be very experienced paraglider, but has had instruction and received his license for this aircraft and I guess was out this morning to test his skills or fly the aircraft," said Brevard County spokesman Don Walker.
Witnesses said the the gyrocopter was about 100 off the ground when it appeared to encounter problems.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have been contacted.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a question regarding a VOP case, where the VOP contains both a technical violation, and a new law violation, which are related in tandem. The defendant is definitely pleading not guilty to the new law violation (and from what I gather, is indeed not guilty--so, let us just assume this is valid for the moment). My concern is that, even though there is a technical VOP involved (entering a bar--special condition), when requesting reinstatement of supervision, it would look much better to have the primary law violation already disposed of. So, how might a defendant argue to have the VOP hearing postponed?Thank you all for your replies. As I understand the matter of technical violations, it is important that the State demonstrate the violation was done "willingly" (I really need a cite for that, and can't find it in the Statutes; perhaps in FAC?). In this case, the defendant (who is under 21, but over 18) did enter a bar with some friends, but mentions that the intention was to "order a meal and play pool" (although, unknown to them at the time, the bar served no meals--none of the group consumed alcohol, or attempted to do so). So, to my mind, this suggests an "unwilling" or accidental violation of the technicality. The VOP hearing is this coming week, and it doesn't appear that the PD office wants to address this issue--they apparently want to enter a guilty plea. I'm not an attorney, but I'm leaning toward relaying these details to the court, as an outside observer, inclusive of positive character references of the defendant, via an Amicus Curiae brief--do you folks think this might be beneficial?
You have to ask the VOP judge for a continuance to allow the new charge to go to trial. the State will want to go forward with the VOP first because the burden of proof isn't as high as it is for the new charge and they will try to prove he committed the new crime in the VoP hearing without a jury and just the judge.Ask a similar question
Since I practice in Volusua county my answer is based on the general way vop's are handled here. Most of the judges prefer the new law case get resolved first. Your liability on the "technical violation depends on many factors such as your prior criminal record if any, the charge you were put on probation for, how long and how you have been in compliance with the terms of probation. I can't tell from your question if you are on felony or misdemeanor probation and if the new case is a felony or misdemeanor. These issues also need to be considered.
Accepting your premise that the new charge will work out favorably to you, ask your attorney to review your options with you. Hopefully when all is considered you will know what is in your best interests. If continuing the vop is it your attorney should be able to get it done. Good luck.
As a Tampa Bay area (Pinellas/Hillsborough) criminal defense attorney,the usual practice here is that the State would try to pursue the VOP issue first, because, as Tom stated, it is a much lower burden of proof for the state to prove and the defendant is not entitled to a jury during a VOP hearing. Unfortunately, even in cases where a defendant has been successful in being acquitted of the "new law charges" after a jury trial, he still could be found in violation during the VOP hearing based solely on the arrest (barring any suppression issues decided previously). In addition, although "technical violations" may sound better than "substantive or new law charge violations", they still have the same affect and may trigger the same consequences. The optimal situation is when there is a legitimate issue to litigate regarding the lawfulness of the arrest/stop of the new charge. If the trial judge does decide to postpone VOP and grants a suppression motion based on a bad stop/arrest then the Exclusionary Rule would apply to the VOP hearing, and no information previously suppressed should be entered against the defendant during the VOP hearing. But again, the order in which a judge hears a VOP or trial is solely his discretion.

It sounds like you're trying to play attorney based upon the very limited and general knowledge you have gained from this website. While I do not disagree with the advice offered by my colleagues, I really think the best thing you can do to help is to hire an attorney to handle this.
I have never seen an amicus brief used in the context of a VOP, and I have handled quite a few VOPs. I appreciate the fact you're trying to help, but I'm just not sure how helpful your efforts will really be.Ask a similar question

I love Carla! I went to Soren Salon for a color correction after a really unfortunate incident at another salon. My hair was super brassy/bright orange. I had a great consultation, and a week later I was in to get my hair fixed. Carla was such a pro and not only fixed my hair, but made it even better than it was before! She was so patient and knowledgeable and made me feel completely comfortable. She's a lifesaver!! Needless to say, I found my forever salon ����

My wife and I traveled with another couple to Arenal and stayed at Los Lagos from Feb 10 through Feb 12. The four of us stayed in a two bedroom superior duplex (rooms 248 & 249).
The front desk was quick and helpful. They give you a key for the safe as well as the electronic keys for your place which you may also need to keep the lights on. There is gated security at the only entrance to the resort, and they check for a bracelet each time you enter and also raise the gates when you exit.
The rooms are spacious with two queen beds and plenty of extra room. The beds were on the firmer side and the linens were clean, although they do not include comforters on the bed, but you can get one if you ask. The bathroom towels were clean and the maid does come to make the bed and replace your soiled bathroom items on a daily basis. The amenities (TV & safe) worked well, although I never could figure out how to set the time on the alarm clock. There were a few times when the entire grounds would go dark, due to a power surge, but it never lasted for more than a couple of minutes. The view of the volcano from our back porch was spectacular, as it also overlooked the main horse grazing pasture. The grounds were beautiful with many different flowering plant species and several different kinds of brightly colored birds flying around, I even saw a toucan on a walk I went on at the very top of the property.
The thermal and regular pools were all clean and comfortable. We only went into the thermal pools, and they were all very relaxing, but not too hot as to be uncomfortable. The service at the pool side swim up bar was good and they served us our libations in a timely manner.
The spa experience was some of the best spent money of the entire trip. My wife and I both signed up for the special, which was $75 for a facial and a Swedish massage. The whole process lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes, but it was a struggle to remain awake, because it was so relaxing. I do not normally get massages and I've never had a facial before, but it was one of the best massages I've had.
The breakfast buffet was solid, with many different fresh fruits and different hot foods were available each day. The common eating area is covered but is open air and overlooks the garden where all the exhibits are kept (frog, leaf-cutter, croc & butterfly gardens). Your coffee cup is continually being refilled and the orange juice is excellent. We ate dinner there one night for sushi night. The service was good, but I was a little disappointed by the sushi selection. I was thinking more along the lines of sashimi, but it was all rolls. The sushi was good, but I was hoping for a little more variety.
The property is sprawling and is located at the foot of a volcano, thus it is very hilly. We had no problems walking up and down the paths that include a hanging bridge. If you have mobility issues, or do not feel like walking, they do have vans that will come and drive you to wherever you need to go in a reasonable amount of time. Parking space is also ample, should you decide to bring an automobile.
The best thing about this place is all the different activities available on the property (zip lining, horse back riding, the animal exhibits, volcano trail, thermal pools) and the location: on a good road at the base of Arenal, yet only a few minute drive to La Fortuna. The animal exhibits were neat, but you really need to look hard for the frogs (we counted four about the size of a quarter in about a 1,000 sq ft enclosure, I'm sure there were more, but they were hiding). For all the amenities, this place is a great value and would be an excellent place to bring the entire family, but is also nice enough for a romantic get-away.
If you have the time, try walking to the top of the volcano viewing spot. The views from the trail alone are worth it, but is also where I saw the toucan, some sort of raptor and another bird about the size of a turkey, as well as leaf-cutter ants doing there business on the side of the trail and there are many different types of small flowers. If you cannot do the walk, then drive to the top, the trail is bumpy, but the view of the volcano sitting atop the lake is inspiring.
I would go back to Los Lagos if we return to Arenal. The only reason I listed it as very good instead of excellent, is due to the high-end facilities in the area (Tobacon) that are likely more spectacular, but also more expensive.

In a pointed speech delivered to Communist Party members in the Great Hall of the People, President Jiang Zemin made clear today that China's economic reforms were not a prelude to Western-style multiparty democracy and that those who challenged the party's supremacy would be quashed.
Officially, the speech was intended to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Communist Party meeting that marked the beginning of the reforms. But it also provided a vigorous, if indirect, defense of the Government's recent decision to try three of the country's most prominent democracy activists on criminal charges for their efforts to organize an opposition political party.
The trials of Wang Youcai and Qin Youming opened on Thursday. They are accused of inciting subversion of the state, charges that carry a minimum prison sentence of five years on conviction, although neither trial has come to a verdict.
And today the family of China's most senior dissident, Xu Wenli, another organizer of the opposition party, was told that he would stand trial on Monday, facing the more serious charge of subverting state power, which could bring life in prison.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Xu has been detained since Nov. 30, after the police raided his house and confiscated documents about the new opposition group, the China Democratic Party.
While vowing to move ahead with economic reforms, Mr. Jiang's speech was more conservative politically than others he has made this year. Again and again he invoked Communist Party dogma, using phrases rarely uttered in the last year, like the ''four cardinal principles.'' Those state that the leadership of the Communist Party, adherence to the socialist path and the upholding of Mao Zedong Thought and of Marxism-Leninism must serve as the foundation for the country.
During President Clinton's state visit in the summer, the world saw President Jiang, agile international political leader, in action. Today he was once again General Secretary Jiang, Communist Party stalwart.
China's current political system ''must not be shaken, weakened or discarded at any time,'' he said, adding, ''The Western mode of political systems must never be copied.''
Later he said, ''We must be vigilant against infiltration, subversive activities and separatist activities of international and domestic hostile forces.'' China must ''fight against factors disrupting social stability and nip them in the bud,'' he said.
Mr. Jiang's remarks on these topics echoed points made two weeks ago by Li Peng, the former Prime Minister who now heads the National People's Congress, in a rare interview with the German business newspaper Handelsblatt.
Mr. Li is usually associated with the more conservative faction of the party. But today, as China is facing harsh criticism from human rights groups and Western governments over its treatment of the China Democratic Party's leaders, the same admonitions came directly from Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Jiang also said China should not rely too heavily on foreign countries to boost its economic development, and he acknowledged that the party had made some ''mistakes'' that had left citizens dissatisfied. Presumably that was a reference to the millions of layoffs caused by a shift toward a market economy, and to the resulting demonstrations that have become commonplace in smaller Chinese cities.
But it was, at heart, a back-to-basics talk, a reminder that even though many of China's citizens wear tailored suits and tote cellular phones, and even though its billboard-lined thoroughfares resemble streets in the West, the country remains a one-party dictatorship.
Earlier this year, the founding members of the China Democratic Party, a small, loose network of activists from all over the country, hoped that there might be room for political opposition.
Heartened by the relatively open discourse that surrounded the Clinton visit and later by China's decision to sign the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights, the dissidents have repeatedly tried to register their fledgling party as a legal social organization.
In the last two months, the official response has moved quickly from neglect, to polite rebuff, to detention, to this week's trials.
It is unclear what will happen to the three men being tried or to other Democratic Party members who have been detained as they have sought to protest the proceedings.
At the trials of Mr. Wang in Hang zhou and Mr. Qin in Wuhan, neither man was represented by a lawyer, although allowed by Chinese law, because prospective lawyers were intimidated or detained by local officials, their families said.
In a two-and-a-half-hour court session today, Mr. Wang defended himself. No defense has yet been presented for Mr. Qin.
Mr. Xu, who will go on trial on Monday in Beijing, has been given a court-appointed lawyer, his wife said. Mr. Xu has already spent more than 10 years in prison.
The Hong Kong-based Information Center of Human Rights and Democratic Movement said Mr. Xu's indictment accuses him of organizing the China Democratic Party, accepting money from abroad, calling for independent trade unions and making subversive statements in interviews with foreign news organizations.Continue reading the main story
