Perhaps no Georgia player is more directly impacted by quarterback Aaron Murray's season-ending knee injury than the guy who snaps the ball every play.
Center David Andrews now will deliver it to Hutson Mason.
"Hutson's a little more uptempo than Murray," Andrews said. "We kind of joke about it a little bit. I think they're two different players. I'm excited to see what Hutson can do. It's fun out there. He's a passionate guy, a fiery guy who has a lot of emotion. I play with a lot of emotion, too, so I think it's kind of fun."
Andrews said he and Mason "butted heads on a few things" during the game and they talked about it.
"He's wanting to go, and they're changing the defense, and I'm trying to change something and I think KG (Kenarious Gates) got called for a false start," Andrews said. "I was trying to change something too and got caught off guard. He's just uptempo about stuff and sometimes we're trying to get him to slow down so we can communicate stuff. You get used to it. We're going to have to get used to it this week."

Do you like menus? You'll love this video
A new Japanese trailer is out for Dragon's Crown, and it's probably the most informative yet, provided you can see past the Japanese voiceover and into the systems at hand. Tons of menu based mechanics are shown, including the customization system, equipment menus, the upgrade system, and the cooking mechanic.
Beyond the menus, there's more samples of George Kamitani's beautiful artwork, as well as a general overview of the features of the PS3 and Vita versions of the game -- specifically four player support on both.
As I've said before this game looks incredibly deep for a beat 'em up. I'm beyond excited to finally get my hands on it, as it's one of my most anticipated games of the year, and it's nearly here.

|The backside of my great-grandmother Alice Turner with her husband H. O. Turner, known to all as "Mom and Pop".
The second recipe on my "must-find" list is for a chocolate cake that doesn't involve the use of coffee, shortening, or margarine. And I don't want to take all day making it. None of the fifteen chocolate cake recipes in my great-grandmother's cookbook are more than a paragraph long and none of them require more than eleven ingredients. Most of the recipes call for a maximum of seven or eight ingredients. This seemed like a good thing until I remembered a lecture by Anne Willan in which she discussed the fact that cookbooks used to be made for professionals, or at the very least for people who knew how to cook. The authors of early cookbooks made a lot of assumptions about the basic knowledge of the reader to understand how to make bread or pastry or whatever food was being discussed. I fear that my culinary skills may not be up to the task. But I hope that will be part of the fun. I will learn what I don't know, even if I have to eat my way through a lot of bad cakes.
To be honest, I'm not a very good baker. I don't have much patience for reading recipes and I don't like being exact in my measurements. Neither of these are desirable qualities in a baker. That's not to say I can't follow a recipe when I need to. Over the years, I've learned that one NEEDS to follow the recipe when baking. It's just that I don't like doing it. So here goes... I'll start with a book that has very few instructions and see how far I get. If nothing else, it will surely give me a new respect for the culinary skills of my ancestors.
I'm especially excited to be working with the cookbook that belonged to my Great-Grandmother Alice Turner. I never knew "Mom", as everyone called her, but my Grandma Willie told me a great story about her that I think of whenever I am asked to do something I don't want to do. Grandma Willie told me that when "Mom" was in the nursing home at the end of her life, the nurses would come around with craft supplies to try to get all the old ladies involved in some kind of project. "Mom" always politely told them that she was not interested. Eventually, "Mom" had had enough of their attempts to engage her in busywork. One fateful day, a well-meaning, but overbearing nurse tried to give "Mom" a ball of yarn and asked her if she could knit or crochet, while offering her the choice between a set of knitting needles and a crochet hook. "Mom" sweetly replied, "I CAN knit and I CAN crochet, but I CHOOSE to do neither." Exit nurse.
I hope this project will help me follow in the footsteps of my great-grandmother, both in terms of learning valuable cooking techniques, but also in reminding me to be a person who chooses carefully what she WILL do at any given moment. And to make that moment count.

But what i really wonder is if this guy ever thought that we were going to let him go without punishment.....
@woodman: I know a guy from the Spanish Garrison who bought an ep2 clone trooper helmet. However it did arrive well. Does this help you?
Hello All!!!
This is important.
I sent Gary this email yesterday:
"If this is what you were looking for, you did get it.
Not only myself, but a lot more people has contact the FBI, your local Police dept, and some lawyers. I did file a FBi report also. I told you that i just want what i paid for. But you did not listen to me.......
And he did contact me today. He wants to solve this with me, and with all you guys..... he will contact all of you in order to do so...
hope that this time will be true.
Please let me know how it goes !!!!
I guess that worked! He emailed me today asking for my address so he can ship the parts he owes me!
i haven't gotten any mails from him yet but we will see tho
I got an email too, said he would send it "soon". I asked for the refund instead but who knows,,,,
Good to hear that !!
I rather have the items than the money.... i wanted them so badly !!!
Just got another email , he said he is sending the Han In Carbonite to me. Ill take anything at this point.
Thumbs up to you guys for taking action against this scum bag, its to often that people get away with this kinda stuff. Hope it goes well my mandalorian brothers!
A lifesize Han?
What did you buy from him?

Let's hold off on the name calling. He appears to be trying to make amends and we owe him that chance. Albeit a little late, but nonetheless he appears to be trying. Let give it a couple of weeks and see what happens. The statute of limitations runs over two years, (I think) so time is on our side. Everyone deservs a chance to correct their mistakes.
Madrid, it was 300$ for a resin Hanin Carbonite front panel, I was hoping to make it into a desk if I ever get it.
I agree I really wish he would contact the rest of us but this seems to be his method of operating. He contacted me after i sent several emails calls text etc... only to promise me that things would be resolved then after a time would cut off all contact. I have not heard anything from the guy. I hope this works out for you all and i would hope he monitors this chat and would contact me as well. I have emailed him again with the desire to resolve this but i have not been contacted back yet. At this point i would even accept a substitution or anything to justify my trouble. Like i said i hope it works out and i hope i get an email but after dealing with this guy thus far i am not going to hold my breath. I am just going to let the authorities take care of him until i see other wise. The post office was particularly interested in charging him with mail fraud so i filled out the paper work and IC3 And the BBB. We will see! prayers for a speedy resolution to us all!
Kyvader, do you want me to contact him and let him know about your situation?
I am a licensed private investigator in oklahoma. If my services are needed let me know.
Folks, just keeping my moderator hat on here. Please keep comments above board and avoid name calling. I understand the frustration. I'm just glad to see him finally in contact with some of you.
Alfredo you would have made a friend forever if you get him to contact me back. I would really appreciate it. It has been frustrating trying to get a straight answer out of the man. I am more than willing to settle this like adults if he would just contact me and follow through. Thanks again Alfredo
chucky the han desk would have rocked
Thanks JHunt627 !!! We hope that we will not need them !!
We have to stay together. The more we are, the more strenght we will have.
By the way, another person from another forum did contact me yesterday, he bought some C3PO parts that never arrived.
Thanks guys
add him on Madrid
the keep on commin huh
the more the better
I still have not heard anything back from the guy, i hate to say it but i am not surprised lol.
Well, Ive sent several emails since I heard from him 2 weeks ago, looks like stall tactics again, he is not answering.
Any word on the internet investigation?

Pot′-holes, holes in the beds of rapid streams, made by an eddying current of water, which gives the stones a gyratory motion.
They were forced to be passive; there was no means of preventing this gyratory motion.
There is no precise estimate of the velocity of the gyratory motion.
Storms are now admitted by all seamen to be gyratory, as we have seen.
As soon as the current would strike an obstruction like the cylinder, it would make a gyratory sweep around its base.
Two motions are usually visible, one ascending one near the earth and in the middle, and a gyratory one around the other.
He found them revolving like ours, and hence inferred the truth of the gyratory theory in relation to all winds.
In quarrying and crushing New Jersey trap rock with gyratory crushers the following was the cost of producing 200 cu.
This impressed motion will be converted into circulatory or gyratory motion.
A vast basin has been thus formed, in which the sweep of the river prolongs itself in gyratory currents.

Deer Hunting Forums (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/)
- Shotgun Hunting (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/shotgun-hunting/)
- - Hello and a quick question (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/shotgun-hunting/1108-hello-quick-question.html)
Hello and a quick question
Hello this is my first post to this site, and i must say what a great site. It is very helpful.
One of my main hunting spots is just inside city limits and therefore i am forced to use a slug during gun season. I have a Mossberg 500 pump action all purpose shotgun which does not have a rifled barrell. So my question is if it is alright to use slugs in my barrell.
Thanks again.
ooh what a coincidence..sounds like my gun exactly. if you dont have a rifled barrel it will be like throwing a football without spiraling it. wobbly. so i guess it lessons the distance and accuracy :wink:
What's up deeraddict and welcome to the site. I'll agree with fokuz on the football thing.
Thanks for the info guys. but it wont hurt the barrel? and what about choke tubes? and what about rifled slugs will that help?
yea...the slug barrels are oversized to allow the rifling action the name rifled slugs is misleading since its use after they stopped making round pellets..remember how they stood side by side in the civil war? thats cuz if you shot with an "unrifled" bullet you would have no chance of hitting nething diretly in front of you, it would spin all around the place like crazy. the rifled bullets allow the normal barrels to shoot MORE accuratly than with unrifled slugs but you are still gonna be wobbly as all get out ..ps, dont try it on double barreled guns :yes:
No don't shoot slugs out of a choke tube barrel. A choke tubes for pellets (shot) for turkey and birds and such. That would be a very dangerous situation.
Ok thats what my first thought was, just wanted to justify it. Thanks for all the help

My parents say I should be a doctor but I want to be what I want. They're forcing me to be one cause the rest of my family is. WHAT SHOULD I DO? D:
Just cause your whole family is a doctor doesn't mean you have to be one. Even if they're forcing you to don't give up on your dreams of being what you want to be.
THANKS! :D I'm going to tell them I won't give up on my dreams but I hate it how they're always telling me to be a doctor or I'm going to have a bad career and won't live a good life
You can still be whatever you want to be and if you have any extra time you could possibly have 2 jobs. 1 is your main job and the other is on the side.
Trust me, I went through that as well. My family is full of nurse so I was going to be an RN, and for one year I took the class.. then I just said I have to leave this it's not my thing. Now I'm an English major so I applaud you for standing up for yourself too!

IMPORTANT - How to enter - Please read the following carefully
Simply send us ONE (and only one) photograph which you think best captures the theme for the month. The photograph must be your own work, and you must legally hold the copyright to it (so no copying photos out of magazines or nicking them from other websites!). So as to level the playing field a bit and not hand an overwhelming advantage to those of you with digital SLRs, and also to prevent our email system from exploding, the image file size may be no larger than 3.0 megabytes, although I would like to see pictures that are at least 800 pixels wide. You can edit, improve or alter your photo in any way you like. Composite images made using an image editing program are acceptable, as long as they are made predominantly from photographs, and that all parts of the image are wholly your own work. You don't need to put copyright watermarks or other identifying marks on the photo.
When you've got a nice picture ready to send, here's what you need to do:
* Save your picture in JPEG format.
* Make sure your picture is at least 800 pixels wide, but less than 3MB.
* Re-name the image file to your name with an underscore between first and second names, such as "Joe_Bloggs.jpg" for example.
* Start a new email, to firstname.lastname@example.com.
* Put the words "Portraits" in the subject line of the email.
* In the body text of the email, put your postal address, and what type of memory card you'd like to receive (SD, CompactFlash etc.). This is very important; you can't receive a prize if we don't know where to send it.
* Add your competition photo as an attachment to this email.
* And finally the most important bit; click "Send".
Any questions?
If you want to discuss the competition, or have any questions about the rules or how to enter, follow the link below to the forum page.
This month's theme
Your theme for the month of April is PORTRAITS. This is the theme for the competition, so please try to follow it. Every month at least ten percent of the entries completely miss the theme because some people don't read this page properly, and therefore stand no chance of winning no matter how good they are.
Closing date
Entries for this month's competition should arrive no later than APRIL 30th 2008, so you've got a month to get snapping.
* In the event that the S9600 has been replaced in Fuji's model range by May next year, Fuji has agreed to provide its successor (which is also sure to be a great camera) as a prize instead.
Since some people have asked for clarification on this matter, all submitted photos remain the property of the entrant. We reserve the right to publish a selection of the best submissions in the competition results update a few days after the closing date, but we will not use your pictures for any other purpose without your express permission. We are certainly not using them to build our own stock photo library, since I already have about 35,000 photos of my own, I take about 300 photos a week for all the camera reviews that I do, and anyway I have an account at iStock.

This might sound like a dumb question for you, but here it is:
How can I change my brake light bulb?
It seems pretty crazy to take the car to the dealer for such a minor thing.
As you might have figured, I am not an expert mechanic, but I think I could relace a bulb myself! It is not obvious how to do it, and I don't want to brake anything just by pulling the wrong part.
I have seen the how-to on the headlight bulb replacement, but didn't find anything for the taillights.
In case anybody wants to know I have a 2001 Passat - I guess I wouldn't be on this forum otherwise...

Less than 10 minutes later, the attendants wheeled out the gurney, which now bore a black body bag.
The Chinamen descended upon the smooth, black body, their bare feet sliding and slipping at every step.
His black body, lumped and like some mad caricature of itself, gleamed in the light.
Lampblack, which may absorb between 98 to 99% of the incident radiation, is generally taken as the type of a black body.
And as soon as they heard it, they went to a small lodge where the black body of Iamo lay.
That black body suddenly appeared, like a rabbit flushed out of his brush, and sped for the shelter of the wood.
Wherever the sunlight struck on that black body it revealed scales like those on a mangy dog.
The foul bird is soaring aloft, its black body and broad expanded wings outlined against the azure sky.
Till that happens, the youngster looks as if he were stuck all over with white pins on his black body.
Close beside his black body towered Father Anselm, smoothing the folds of his gray gown.
An object that can absorb and send off radiation with complete efficiency — that is, it reflects (see reflection) none of the radiation that falls on it. The higher the object's temperature, the higher the frequency of the radiation it gives off.

Sol Campbell seems to be really looking forward to his debut for the Newcastle club tomorrow night at Chelsea in the 3rd round of the Carling Cup.
Sol Campbell – makes debut tomorrow night
Campbell talked to the Evening Chronicle today:
"Nothing is easy in life, so we have to roll our sleeves up and get on with it." "I've got great memories of this competition and won it way back." "It's always nice to win the competition and have a great cup run." "But Chris has to look at the whole season."
"He's got one eye on the full season – that's a priority for him." "I can't pick and choose when the games come." "The main thing is being out there and smelling the environment of a football arena again." "But I'm ready. That's why I played in the reserves against Chelsea last week – I didn't want to be too short." "I was behind the lads in pre-season, but I've caught up with them."
"I've been putting in the minutes and hours behind the scenes just to catch up." "I want to make a good account of myself. The lads are doing well and it's a big game for us against one of the biggest teams in the world." "It's a nice cup to win – any domestic competition, if you can win it, is great."
"I can understand why Chris is making a few changes because of the squad situation. Chelsea will still play a strong team regardless." "It will be a good outing for us so we have to just keep going."
lt will be interesting to see just how well Sol plays tomorrow night, because the player is very ambitious.
He will not be satisfied to sit on the bench at Newcastle for too long, but he also professional enough to know that it's up to him to force himself into the Newcastle line -up.
That's will be even more important for him, since he sees himself playing top class football for a few more seasons yet, and if he is to get a contract extension on Tyneside, you would expect he would need quite a few first team appearances under his belt this season.
Comments welcome.

This forum is for the Oracle Cloud, not Amazon. You would want to contact them about their capabilities. I am not sure if Oracle Managed Cloud Services, formerly Oracle On Demand, could address this need or not, but the Database Cloud definitely cannot.

2. Re: Is it possible, in any way, to run Oracle OLAP in the cloud?mindshoot Oct 31, 2012 4:35 PM (in response to RickG)Many thanks for your response; I will investigate Managed Cloud Services to see what might be available there. Even having the keywords to search on is a good start, so thank you for this. Part of my problem is I don't really know what other cloud providers might be out there, so I was hoping that perhaps someone with experience in these areas - users and/or vendors - might be able to chip in if they happened to be passing. I am broadly aware of Amazon's cloud (which, at first glance, didn't seem to cover OLAP), but I know there are others even if I don't know exactly where. Fingers crossed that someone else might be able to chip in!
Thx, Tim

Now, Kodak is a goner along with Kodak Gallery, with Kodak Gallery being bought out by Shutterfly. But Easyshare cannot be changed to upload to Shutterfly.
So, what is the best way to get pics off my SD cards thru my SDcard reader? I read that Picasa is not recommended for that because Picasa sometimes (a software bug, I assume) deletes pics that were not successfully downloaded - ouch.
And then, if I used Picasa to keep track of my pics on my HD, what is the best way to get them uploaded to Shutterfly on the web so that I can share pics with friends & family and so that my wife can order prints, etc? I did download/install Shutterfly's uploader & it seems to work OK, btw.
In other words, what is the best free solution to managing a bunch of digital photos?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Pakistani teen receives regret letter
July 18, 2013 10:10 AM
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A Pakistani Taliban commander has written a letter to a teenage girl activist shot in the head by the group, saying he wished he could have warned her to stop criticizing the militants so she wouldn't have been attacked.
The commander, Adnan Rasheed, did not say the unsuccessful assassination attempt on Malala Yousafzai last October was wrong, only that he found it "shocking" and wished it hadn't happened.
Rasheed, who has close relations with Taliban leaders, said the letter expressed his own opinion, not that of the group.
The Associated Press received the letter by email late Tuesday and spoke to another Taliban commander Wednesday who confirmed it was authentic.

Anybody looking to buy or sell a commercial property asset must be aware of new tax laws affecting capital allowances.
These changes have the potential to significantly benefit you if you understand the implications and seek professional advice at the right time, however, there is a danger of losing out on hundreds of thousands of pounds if you are not aware, or do not react within the new timeframe.
Capital Allowances are a form of statutory tax relief available on capital expenditure incurred on various fixtures within a building. they enable you, as a UK tax payer, to write off relevant expenditure against taxable profits and income, resulting in a substantial increase in post-tax profit and income.
Previously there was no time limit for claiming capital allowances following the transfer of ownership of a commercial property asset. We simply had to research the ownership / tax history as far back to 24 July 1996 to satisfy HMRC that there had been no prior claim made by any previous owners. However, from 1 April 2014 (6 April 2014 for income tax payers), in order to claim capital allowances, the purchaser may need to ask the seller to 'pool' any qualifying expenditure. In addition, both parties will have to agree the value that will be transferred upon sale, via a s.198 election within a two year time period.
Please refer to the brochure below which explains the recent changes and answers some of your questions around capital allowances.

Fish On Ice
Anyone following the Dallas Stars lately knows that the things that happen on ice in this town can be more than a little disappointing. If you're tired of getting the cold shoulder, head not to the American Airlines Center but to ye olde Reunion Arena for Disney On Ice.

Special guest Pete Doherty joins the cast to force the Cheshire Cat to inhale from his pipe! Just kidding, though we'd pay to see that too. No, this Disney on Ice is an iced-out version of Finding Nemo, the heartwarming tale of a father and son fish separated by a vast ocean of emotional ineptitude, and, of course, by a vast ocean, literally. Dory the forgetful fish and that surfer dude turtle are along for the ride as daddy Marlin journeys into the deep to find his runaway son. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, 7:30 p.m. Friday, November 23, 11:30 a.m., 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, November 24 and 1:30 p.m. Sunday, November 25. Tickets are $15 to $50.

Regular, Synthetic or Blend...What Kind of Oil Do I Need?
At one time, there were only a couple of choices for motor oil. Today, that is no longer the case, and hasn't been for quite some time. Here's a quick breakdown of what you need to consider when it's time for an oil change:
- Viscosity: Viscosity is how thick your oil is, and how it retains its pour properties at various temperatures. In this respect, synthetic oil is far superior. Conventional oils will thicken in cold weather and thin out when very hot, while the viscosity of synthetic is much more uniform. Check your owner's manual -- many newer models require a thinner, lower-viscosity oil, which also helps the engine run more efficiently. Viscosity is expressed as a numerical value -- the lower the number, the thinner the oil. Many are designed to work a ...[more]
The Latest in Green Tech Innovations for Tires
When it comes to your car, oil isn't the only thing there's a finite supply of. Rubber has its limits too, and it's estimated by 2020, the supply of natural rubber in the world may be outstripped by demand. And of course, tires require a great deal of oil to produce as well. Tire manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to innovate and conserve resources in tire production. Here are some recent advances:
- Dandelions: Yes, those humble yellow flowers you try to eliminate from your yard. Dandelions actually contain a minute amount of latex in their milky oil, and research shows they can actually produce about as much latex, pound-for-pound, as rubber plants. German scientists have cultivated 1-foot-tall dandelions for just this purpose. This isn't a new development, either -- in WWII, Amer ...[more]

An editorial this weekend in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, a leading paper, had a brisk headline in English: ''Bully Bush.'' It reflected a growing allied concern over the direction of the Bush administration's foreign policy that the Europeans seem determined to resist.
The editorial characterized the expulsions of about 50 Russian diplomats as ''extreme measures,'' criticized President Bush's handling of the Middle East, and fretted over his policy toward China and Taiwan. ''The strongest in the class should refrain from beating up his weaker classmates,'' the paper commented.
It was precisely concern over what they saw as the Bush administration's ''beating up'' on the South Korean president, Kim Dae Jung, when he visited Washington this month that prompted European Union leaders to decide this weekend to send mediators to support the peace effort between the two Koreas. This step amounted to an important signal on several fronts.
The decision demonstrated that the 15-member European Union is determined to develop its nascent common foreign and strategic policy, even when that policy differs from the American.Continue reading the main story
It also showed strong support for Kim Dae Jung's ''sunshine policy'' toward North Korea at a time when it appeared vulnerable to the Bush administration's more skeptical view of the North Korean leader and its determination to build a missile shield to defend against the North's weapons programs.
With the Bush administration appearing to pull back from, or at least reconsider, President Bill Clinton's heavy engagement in Ireland, in the Middle East and in the Korean Peninsula, the European Union is signaling a new boldness. ''Europe's turn,'' declared the Frankfurter Allgemeine recently.
Of course, Europe has expressed such pretensions before -- notably in declaring that the ''hour of Europe has dawned'' on the eve of the Balkan wars of the 1990's -- only to fall flat on its face as its diplomacy proved hapless. And the precise direction of the Bush administration's foreign policy is still in the process of articulation.
But the European Union has evolved considerably over the past decade, and its differences with the new administration seem real, particularly over issues like missile defense, Russia and even the environment. Germany has particularly strong feelings about the importance of the conciliatory approach of Kim Dae Jung, who is sometimes compared here to Willy Brandt, the Social Democratic chancellor of 30 years ago.
Mr. Brandt's Ostpolitik -- the process of engagement with the Communist East German state -- was often criticized in Washington, but its dividends proved real, and East Germany is no more.
''Whatever the nature of the regime, there really is no alternative to dialogue,'' said Karl Kaiser, a leading German foreign policy expert. ''What the Europeans are saying by sending a delegation to the Korean Peninsula is that, in this post-cold-war world, they will not stand aside.''
There was disappointment in European capitals when Kim Dae Jung appeared to receive scant support for his policy of engagement toward the North when he visited Washington. At the time, Mr. Bush said he would not resume talks begun by the Clinton administration with North Korea anytime soon, a clear rebuff to the South Korean leader, who received the Nobel Peace Prize last year for his efforts at reconciliation on the peninsula.
''It's becoming clear that the new U.S. administration wants to take a more hard-line approach toward North Korea,'' Anna Lindh, the Swedish foreign minister, said this weekend. ''This means that Europe must step in.''
In addition to its desire for a missile shield, something that has generated anxiety across Europe, the Bush administration has also made clear it wants more rigorous systems of verification in place before pursuing an agreement to curb North Korea's testing program for long-range missiles and to stop the development of nuclear weapons.
But there have been signs of some differences between Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and the White House over the degree of severity needed toward the North Korean leadership of Kim Jong II.
Mr. Kaiser suggested that the Europeans also wanted to bolster General Powell, with whom they feel generally comfortable, in any clashes over Korean policy with Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser.
Throughout Europe, there has been growing concern in recent weeks that the Bush administration's approach may be engendering a more confrontational era in world politics, one sometimes characterized as having a cold-war chill. Uncertainty over the direction of American policy is also causing unease.
''I learned about the expulsion of the Russian diplomats from the newspapers,'' complained a senior aide to Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. ''And if anyone in Washington thinks this is not going to affect Russian-American relations, I fear they are wrong. As for other areas like the Middle East, what worries us is the lack of clarity.''
The European Union is deeply committed to a policy of reconciliation with Russia -- President Vladimir V. Putin attended the European Union summit meeting in Stockholm that ended on Saturday -- and opposes any policy that would draw new barriers across the European continent.
This view will certainly be expressed to President Bush by Chancellor Schröder when he visits Washington this week. It will be their first meeting, and there is no question that some of the difficulties between Europe and Washington stem from the fact that leaders are still getting acquainted. President Bush is not due to visit Europe until a NATO summit meeting in June.
In some areas, including the Balkans, initial trans-Atlantic difficulties appear to have been overcome, and the response to the Albanian attacks in western Macedonia has been one of united condemnation.
Indeed, cooperation has been enhanced by the fact that the Bush administration appears content to leave Macedonian diplomacy to the Europeans -- a succession of European foreign ministers including Joschka Fischer of Germany has been in Skopje over the past week -- rather than dispatch its own envoy.
This appears to be an example of an area where the very reticence of the new administration over heavy overseas involvement opens the way for an effective balancing of tasks with the Europeans.
But if the dispatch of European mediators to fill what might be called an American vacuum on the Korean Peninsula was to be followed by similar European moves in the Middle East, it appears likely that tempers in Washington could get frayed. ''You could see the Europeans moving to prevent a Middle East hiatus,'' said one NATO official, ''and the Americans would not appreciate that.''
In general, having traded in much of their national sovereignty to create the shared euro currency, Europeans are looking for multilateral means to defuse international tensions. Their suspicion -- reinforced over the Korean Peninsula -- is that a wholly sovereign United States under President Bush, committed to the construction of a national missile defense shield, is far less inclined to such compromises.Continue reading the main story

One NY Artist: Choreographer Takehiro Ueyama
There are thousands of artists in New York City. Some are famous internationally. Others are scratching out a living while perfecting their craft in basements or on stage. WNYC is bringing a few of them to the spotlight, in their own voices.
Here, choreographer Takehiro Ueyama. He is the founder and artistic director of TAKE Dance.
Uyeama grew up in Japan, and came to New York City in 1991 to study dance at Julliard school. But in the beginning he wasn't a dedicated student. "I didn't listen, I had a bad attitude," he said. "I got three Fs for a semester, they almost kicked me out."
Uyeama ended up graduating, and then joined the Paul Taylor company as probably the first male Japanese American in the group, he said. "Every place I go I might be the first Japanese guy, but I don't really have the problem, me as an Asian," he said. "I think it's an advantage, because I am different." He performed with them for eight years.
TAKE Dance is presenting new works next Friday and Saturday, the 27th and 28th, at Symphony Space.

Lydian Kingdom, Kroisos, c. 561 - 546 B.C.
In Greek and Persian cultures the name of Croesus became a synonym for a wealthy man. Croesus' wealth remained proverbial beyond classical antiquity: in English, expressions such as "rich as Croesus" or "richer than Croesus" are used to indicate great wealth to this day. According to Herodotus, Croesus encountered the Greek sage Solon and, secure in his own wealth and happiness, asked Solon who was the happiest man in the world. He was disappointed by Solon's response that three had been happier than Croesus: Tellus, who died fighting for his country, and the brothers Kleobis and Biton who died peacefully in their sleep after their mother prayed for their perfect happiness because they had pulled her to a festival in an oxcart. Solon explained that Croesus cannot be the happiest man because the fickleness of fortune means that the happiness of a man's life cannot be judged until after his death. Sure enough, Croesus' hubristic happiness was reversed by the tragic death of his accidentally-killed son, his wife's suicide at the fall of Sardis, and his defeat at the hands of the Persians.SH85153.

Kyzikos, Mysia, c. 500 - 450 B.C.
Cyzicus was one of the great cities of the ancient world. It was said to have been founded by Pelasgians from Thessaly, according to tradition at the coming of the Argonauts; later, allegedly in 756 B.C., it received many colonists from Miletus. Owing to its advantageous position it speedily acquired commercial importance, and the gold staters of Cyzicus were a staple currency in the ancient world till they were superseded by those of Philip of Macedon. The site of Cyzicus, located on the Erdek and Bandirma roads, is protected by Turkey's Ministry of Culture.

Gorny & Mosch wrote of their specimen: "Troxell recorded a very rare issue of Alexandrine tetradrachms in the name of Gonatas (The Peloponnesian Alexanders, ANSMN 17, 1971, 75-6, note 68), which through hoard evidence was conclusively proven to be struck at Pella circa 272 (see R. W. Mathisen, Antigonus Gonatas and the Silver Coinages of Macedon circa 280-270 BC, ANSMN 26, 1981, pp. 79-123, esp. p. 104). However, this unique drachm has no controls that would explicitly tie it to the Pella mint tetradrachms, and even more perplexing is the style of the engraving, which is clearly dissimilar to the tetradrachms as well. One might suppose that it is in fact not a coin of Gonatas at all, but rather a hitherto unknown drachm of his grandfather, Antigonos I Monophthalmos. However, this also does not sit well, again for reasons of style, which is inconsistent with the period of Monophthalmos' reign. For the time being, therefore, this coin must remain a numismatic enigma until further evidence can shed additional light on it."
There are two auction records for the Gorny & Mosch specimen: Roma Numismatics auction 7 (22 Mar 2014), lot 454, sold for � 4,800 plus fees; and Gorny & Mosch auction 203 (5 Mar 2012), lot 150, sold for € 3,200 plus fees.

Macedonian Kingdom, Philip III and Alexander IV, 323 - 315 B.C., Types of Philip II
Philip II coin types remained prominent in the northern regions of the Macedonian Kingdom long after his death. This coin was struck at Pella under Antipater or Polyperchon after Alexander's death when the kingdom was nominally ruled by Alexander's mentally disabled half-brother Philip III Arrhidaeus, son of Philip II and Philinna, and Alexander IV, the great conqueror's young son. The two were made joint kings by Alexander's generals who only used them as pawns. Philip III was imprisoned upon his return to Macedonia, and in 317 B.C. he was executed under orders from Olympias. Alexander IV and his mother Roxana were executed by the boy's regent, Kassander, in 311 B.C.

Ionia, c. 600 - 550 B.C.
In Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. In early Greek art, Sirens were represented as birds with large women's heads, bird feathers, and scaly feet. Later, they were represented as female figures with the legs of birds, with or without wings, playing a variety of musical instruments, especially harps. Later Sirens were sometimes depicted as beautiful women, whose bodies, not only their voices, were seductive.SH84464.

Vespasian the Younger, Caesar, 94 - 95 A.D., Smyrna, Ionia
In 94 A.D., because he had no heir, Domitian adopted his two young great-nephews. He renamed them Vespasian and Domitian. The next year he executed the boys' father, his cousin, Titus Flavius Clemens, and exiled the boys' mother, his niece, Flavia Domitilla. They were charged with Atheism, a charge sometimes applied to condemn converts to Judaism or Christianity. The boys then disappeared from history and their fate is unknown.
Smyrna was the only city to strike coins in the name of Vespasian the Younger. No coins were struck for his brother.
Some scholars connect Domitilla with a Roman Matron in the Talmud (Avodah Zarah 10b) and the Deuteronomy Rabbah 2.25. When the emperor had decreed that in 30 days, the Senate would confirm an edict to kill all Jews and Christians in the Roman Empire, the Roman matron convinced her husband to stand up for the Jews. If that identification is correct, her husband Flavius Clemens converted to Judaism, after having contact with the great sage Rabbi Akiva. Flavia Domitilla is a saint in both the Greek Orthodox and the Roman Catholic Church.SH83453.

We've heard it since AFROPUNK the film was released in 2003-- ALL PUNK! All the time! That was never the intention. AFROPUNK is a mindset (arguably best represented among punks, but now we're defining "what a punk is" which isn't our intention either). The whole AFROPUNK platform is about being accepted and uplifted no matter what your motivation. As people of color, the expectation for us as people in general is narrow. We eat these kinds of foods, we listen to this style of music, we look a particular kind of way, and only understand a few different things about the world. We say HELL NO. Our mindset as afropunks is to defy these labels put on us and to define our individual selves. That's the common thread that connects our community.
In the following weeks since the festival we've heard multiple complaints and pouts from afropunks, old and new, that there wasn't enough punk music at AFROPUNK fest. "What's with all the hip-hop?" "Electro isn't punk" and even the rock didn't rock hard enough for some. While the overwhelming majority of festival goers continue to rave and thank us for the free festival of music, food, local shops, and ogling-of-motorcycles, we felt that it was important to address the naysayers about who we are and what we stand for:
AFROPUNK isn't a punk music festival: We LOVE punk music! But it's ok if we like hip-hop too. We dig folk, blues and rockabilly too. Our name AFROPUNK was born from the film, that examined the lives of black outsiders in the predominately white punk scene. There are black hippies and indies who feel the exact same way these punks did in their respective "scenes". If a hip-hop kid went to a Coldplay show dressed like he normally does, he or she would get the exact same stares from people who feel like "their scene" is being compromised by something they don't recognize. We don't like that, and that's what afropunk is. Our festival is about bringing together like-MINDS, not "like-iPods".
AFROPUNK will always love you: When you're an outsider and you're finally accepted it feels awesome. To be understood from people who look like you is like a warm peace that confirms you're not crazy, you're just yourself. If someone feels like that feeling is jeopardized, we understand that it's a natural reaction to lash out. "Don't take away what you gave to me" is the general feeling we understand when we read your comments on facebook and our message boards. We want you to know that even though we've grown and added to our platform, we haven't taken away the punk. We want you all to grow with us and see the potential that we see in our communities. We're going to continue to support bands doing weird things, and highlight weird/cool stuff happening in alternative communities around the world. If you're looking for us to stay stagnate on a single genre, with a single idea--we will disappoint you. But we'll still love you and count you as one of our own.
So just in case you thought we'd lost our way, we want to assure you we're on the right track. And if you're ticked we took the PUNK out of afropunk, we'd like to encourage you to widen your definition of punk AND pay closer attention to what we post:
The following are a selection of rock/punk/rock alternative bands we've covered just in 2012 (more rockin sh!t coming at you soon):
Views: 2925
eh. I've already expressed my piece on the matter on tumblr and places, as far as the attendees that showed up. I personally loved it music-wise. In terms of feeling a sense of unique lifestyle from everyone though? Different story. Being dressed up in my own alt style, I didn't feel too comfortable around anyone at all-- and I'm used to being gawked at in public. I figured that this once-a-year event was going to showcase black alt/punk style both musically, fashion-wise and in a lifestyle kind of sense. I don't mind the whole afrocentric bohemian-type of crowd, nor the fact that there was a lot of other races in attendance but... I expected more. I guess I had my hopes too high about the type of people that would be turning out to the event?
I probably won't be back next year, at least not without Black Witch, along with a good music lineup and better vendors.
What Bangeeism means?
exactly, kristen! if you're trying to do it.. you're doing it wrong
Having the Afropunk "look/style" IMO is just a phase that Rihanna, Weezy and so many other celebs are doing nowadays. Yes, being Afropunk is always evolving, but it also doesn't TRY to be anything. I think they're trying too hard sometimes.

TMC Concerts 2016-2017
Welcome to Tonbridge Music Club.
The 2016-2017 season ends on 6 May 2017 with a concert by the London Handel Players.
Details of the 55th Season 2017-2018 will be available soon – please bookmark this page
The 2015-2016 season of concerts ended on 14 May 2016. Our opening concert of the 2016-2017 season is on 1 October 2016 and is an exciting venture with the stunning vocal ensemble V O C E S 8, one of the UK's most versatile and best-loved singing groups. In the afternoon they will run an educational workshop with Tonbridge Grammar School's award-winning Motet Choir. Their evening programme will range from early music to modern classics. On 29 October 2016, we welcome Mark Simpson (clarinet) and Richard Uttley (piano) in a wonderfully romantic and virtuosic programme of Brahms and Weber, plus one of Mark's own compositions. Mark won both the BBC Young Musician of the Year and the BBC Proms/Guardian Young Composer of the Year competitions.
Our Benson Young Artist on 26 November 2016 is Alexander Ullman (piano). Known to many of you already as the winner of the 2012 Tunbridge Wells International Competition, Alexander has won several prestigious competitions since and is really making a name for himself. He performs Bach, Schumann, an arrangement of the Stravinsky 'Firebird', and the monumental Liszt Piano Sonata.
'Those indispensable pillars of British musical life', the Chilingirian String Quartet, join us on 4 February 2017 with an enticing programme of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven string quartets, and Levon will also introduce us to some lesser known Armenian pieces. On 11 March 2017 the highly acclaimed Schubert Ensemble (piano quintet), world exponents of their field, perform the exhilarating Shostakovich and the joyous Schumann Piano Quintets, along with Mahler's romantic Piano Quartet Movement.
For our final concert, on 6 May 2017, one of our foremost early music groups, the London Handel Players, presents 'Pearls of the Baroque: A Celebration of Telemann and His Illustrious Contemporaries'. Known for their 'consummate skill and musicianship', this promises to be a great conclusion to a very exciting season!

Ivo Karlovic
Life delivered a damaging serve when the quiet giant injured his left knee and found himself out of competition for several months. But, he recovered and has returned to a rigorous workout schedule.
The Tennis Giant
Born in Zagreb, Croatia, on February 28, 1979, Ivo Karlovic is known as the tallest player in men's professional tennis. At 6' 10" he has as a lofty view of the court, from which he unleashes powerful serves that can astonish as they unnerve. He has won six ATP singles titles: three in 2007, one in 2008, one in 2013 and one in 2015. Ivo took up tennis at age six and hit the court at every opportunity. Practicing without the benefit of a coach, the strong-willed Ivo found himself drawn by the energy and precision the game demands. Watching match after match on television, he later found his greatest inspiration in Boris Becker and Goran Ivanašević, a fellow Croat who also has a strong serve. Following high school graduation, he kept moving forward, joining Croatia's Davis Cup team and turning professional in 2000. Ivo experienced a career turning point at Wimbledon in 2003, when he shocked the tennis world by beating defending champion Lleyton Hewitt, winning his first Grand Slam match. It was poignant victory for the young man, who at the time was a relative unknown ranked at 203. Then, in 2006, life delivered a damaging serve when the quiet giant injured his left knee and found himself out of competition for several months. But, he recovered and has returned to a rigorous workout schedule in which he practices as much as six hours per day in order to broaden his skill base and build his overall strength.

Michael Strogoff HTML version
1. A Fete At The New Palace
"SIRE, a fresh dispatch."
"From Tomsk?"
"Is the wire cut beyond that city?"
"Yes, sire, since yesterday."
"Telegraph hourly to Tomsk, General, and keep me informed of all that occurs."
"Sire, it shall be done," answered General Kissoff.
These words were exchanged about two hours after midnight, at the moment
when the fete given at the New Palace was at the height of its splendor.
During the whole evening the bands of the Preobra-jensky and Paulowsky
regiments had played without cessation polkas, mazurkas, schottisches, and
waltzes from among the choicest of their repertoires. Innumerable couples of
dancers whirled through the magnificent saloons of the palace, which stood at a
few paces only from the "old house of stones"--in former days the scene of so
many terrible dramas, the echoes of whose walls were this night awakened by
the gay strains of the musicians.
The grand-chamberlain of the court, was, besides, well seconded in his arduous
and delicate duties. The grand-dukes and their aides-de-camp, the
chamberlains-in-waiting and other officers of the palace, presided personally in
the arrangement of the dances. The grand duchesses, covered with diamonds,
the ladies-in-waiting in their most exquisite costumes, set the example to the
wives of the military and civil dignitaries of the ancient "city of white stone."
When, therefore, the signal for the "polonaise" resounded through the saloons,
and the guests of all ranks took part in that measured promenade, which on
occasions of this kind has all the importance of a national dance, the mingled
costumes, the sweeping robes adorned with lace, and uniforms covered with
orders, presented a scene of dazzling splendor, lighted by hundreds of lusters
multiplied tenfold by the numerous mirrors adorning the walls.
The grand saloon, the finest of all those contained in the New Palace, formed to
this procession of exalted personages and splendidly dressed women a frame
worthy of the magnificence they displayed. The rich ceiling, with its gilding
already softened by the touch of time, appeared as if glittering with stars. The
embroidered drapery of the curtains and doors, falling in gorgeous folds,
assumed rich and varied hues, broken by the shadows of the heavy masses of
Through the panes of the vast semicircular bay-windows the light, with which the
saloons were filled, shone forth with the brilliancy of a conflagration, vividly
illuminating the gloom in which for some hours the palace had been shrouded.
The attention of those of the guests not taking part in the dancing was attracted
by the contrast. Resting in the recesses of the windows, they could discern,
standing out dimly in the darkness, the vague outlines of the countless towers,

Reminds me of my favorite song and video from my childhood, which has always stuck with me. In this episode of the Muppet Babies the muppet babies overheard Nanny discussing which one from the nursery she was going to get rid of. The horrified muppet babies assumed she was planning to get rid of one of them and started trying to figure out who it was going to be. I do not remember if they discovered a fair method of choosing among themselves or whether they just thought they figured out who Nanny would choose, but somehow they settled on the expectation that Fozzie was the one to go and they sang him this song to cheer him up about his new prospects without them:
As the sort of half extrovert/half introvert who has always thrived both on the presence of other people and also his time alone (including on trips to restaurants, the movies, etc.) this song has always been something of a theme song for me.
And while I am free associating here, Roger Ebert's extraordinary posts on loneliness (and the internet) from last fall, in case you missed them then or want to reread them now, are here and here.

Working on a website to help find other users/parks/events, input needed!
Hey all,
I've been working on a side project for a few weeks now that I'm hoping will function as a sort of 'directory' for Jeepers. I'm approaching the point where I can release a beta of the site and get some extensive testing done, but I'm beginning to question what exactly the purpose of the site should be. So I'll run through some history/purpose of the site and see what you guys think. Who knows better than my potential future users? :)
Background: When I attended my first event, I had only ever visited JeepForum.com, and thus only assumed fellow members of that site would be there. Turns out, more than half the people there were actually from other forums and clubs! I realized then that there are TONS of sites out there, but no real central way of figuring out what's going on.
The Solution: The website I'm working on is basically GoogleMaps for Jeeps. You would register by providing your address (not visible to others), and can then search for other users, parks, and events around you (whatever search radius you'd like to use). As a user you have the ability to add your Jeep(s), your handle on sites that you have registered on, and any clubs that you may be in. The idea is that you may search and find out that there's a club in your area you weren't aware of (and so on). You can also subscribe to Parks and get notifications when new events are added.
Here's a sample screenshot of what it would look like to be logged in and search for nearby parks (obviously more would show up, my sample data is minimal at the moment).
The Problem(s):
- Privacy: With the recent issues of online privacy (and being a privacy advocate myself to an extent), what are you willing to share? Currently, the only personal information you provide is an address (again, not visible to other users), but when you are found in another users search, a pin is dropped at the address (so no actual address, but marked on the map). All that is revealed are any Jeeps/Websites/Clubs that you have entered. I can see some people not being a fan of this...
- Useful?: Does this sound like something you would use? Is it useful to see nearby users specific info (Jeeps/Websites/Clubs)? Or would it make sense to simply return the Websites (without usernames) and Clubs of nearby users, but not actually the users themselves?
I want to create a central site for information to connect fellow Jeepers, without creating "another site to constantly check". Something you sign up for, and check back into hear and there to see what's going on.
Is this something you would use? Any input/feedback on the idea? Features you would like to see?
Interesting idea. How do you intend to keep the events updated?
On the parks info window would be an option to add an event. You would set a name/description/time and the site saves it off to the server. As the creator of the event, you are automatically "subscribed" to it, and will see it when you log in (sadly, not implemented yet). If an event is already created by someone else, you have the option to RSVP/subscribe, and agian, it will show up on your homepage.
Ideally I would get vendor/affiliate/business accounts to parks that can manage their own calendar. Until then, it would be entirely kept up by the users.
Good luck! If the information doesn't get updated in a timely manner, folks will look for more timely information source. Still seems interesting, especially for those of us that travel.

help with finding solutions
Hi, I'm new to using mathematica so I'm hoping someone can help.
I have 3 equations and a lot of parameters. I know some of the solutions to the equations and I wondered if it's possible to use the solutions I know to evaluate the remaining solutions. I have tried to restructure using GroebnerBasis but after 3-4 days it still didn't give me an answer. Any ideas?

Fresh demands for the Thames cable car to be included in the Travelcard scheme were made today after new figures showed usage dropped to a low of 301 on one day in September.
Bad weather caused the Emirates Air Line to be closed for part of Monday September 24 but statistics released for September and last month also show low passenger numbers.
For the nine-week period ending Sunday November 4 there were 18 days when the total number of passengers fell below 3,500.
The cable car can carry 2,500 passengers an hour between the Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks.
A cash ticket costs £4.30, Oyster £3.20 and a multi-journey pass offers 10 trips for £16. But during those nine weeks sales of the multi-journey pass were mostly below 10 a day. On two days none was sold.
Darren Johnson, Green Party member of the London Assembly, said: "It would have been a much better option if it had connected with Canary Wharf."
He called for the car to be incorporated into the TfL fares structure including the Freedom Pass and Travelcard.
Caroline Pidgeon, leader of the London Assembly's Liberal Democrats and chairwoman of the transport committee, said: "Having poured so much public money into the project [the Mayor] must now ensure it operates as an integral form of public transport."
TfL's Head of the Emirates Air Line, Danny Price, said: "Passenger numbers were unusually low on Monday 24 September as the Emirates Air Line was suspended due to high winds.
"The number of journeys made on the Emirates Air Line has already exceeded the first year target after only four months and current passenger numbers are in line with TfL's forecasts.
"As with all new transport links, the number of regular users builds over a period of time as people become familiar with new journey possibilities.
"The purpose of the Emirates Air Line is to support regeneration in east London.
"If the Emirates Air Line was at full capacity now there would be serious concerns about how it could carry the future population growth it was built to support."
