There are echoes of Chekhov's Three Sisters in Chilean playwright Juan Radrigán's play, inspired by the true story of three Andean sisters whose bodies were found in 1974 tied together and hung from a rock in the remote foothills where they had spent their entire lives farming. Chekhov's Russian girls had it easy compared to Justa, Luciania and Lucia, whose isolation breeds loneliness, whose ageing bodies are beginning to fail, and whose poverty shows no sign of being relieved as the economic crisis of the Pinochet regime threatens their already fragile existence up in the hills with their goats.
We seldom get the chance to see Chilean theatre in the UK, and this rigorously claustrophobic and effective production from Sue Dunderdale offers a glimpse of another world. It feels as if the women are keeping more than the elements at bay: time itself seems to have stood still for them. It's hard to believe they are living in the 20th century at all, with their disbelief at electricity ("like a piece of sun in a glass jar") and astonishment at reports of an invention that allows people to watch other people moving around inside a wooden box. But it is the confirmation of more worrying rumours about the activities of "Mr Government" – brought by a colourful travelling salesmen played by Sean O'Callaghan – that pushes them to crisis point.
It is impossible not to be moved as they carefully prepare to take their lives, making sure their tumble-down cottage is spotless. Even the slaughter of their animals in undertaken with a stoic grace. Although the drama can be a little repetitive, and the tension inevitably dimished in a play that signals its ending so clearly from the start – with Justa determinedly plaiting a rope – there is no faulting the acting. Carolyn Pickles as Justa, a woman whose only contact with the outside world brought disaster, has a face that looks hewn from the rugged mountainside itself, as she tries to protect her sisters by crushing their frayed hopes. Anne Marie Cavanah is heartbreaking as the younger sister who dreams of a new blouse, and Claire Cogan is no less impressive as the quietly accepting middle sister. "Loneliness killed us a long time ago," she says. "We just haven't been buried."

There has been a perceptible improvement in my own wellbeing since the state where we live granted us the right to marry.
Baggy, pedestrian clothing hides their lean muscles; there are no perceptible rock-like calves, no prominent triceps or pectorals.

Thus the annihilation of the perceptible involves that of perception.

Feed-A- Baby Program
There are babies in Israel who suffer from infant malnutrition today. The consequences of malnutrition at such an early stage of life can include brain damage, developmental retardation, growth retardation, goitre, blindness, anemia, and a host of other tragic conditions. Worst of all, many of these impairments are entirely avoidable through nothing other than proper nutrition.
For just $1 a day, Yad Eliezer's Feed-a-Baby program answers the cries of Israel's hungry infants to ensure healthy physical and mental development during the critical first months of life. Yad Eliezer provides babies with the full amount of formula necessary for proper nutrition. As nutritional sensitivities and needs differ between children, we select formula type according to every infant's individual needs.
Wholesale business relationships with infant formula suppliers allow Yad Eliezer to purchase infant formula at half the retail price. Some 150 volunteers distribute the formula nationwide at no extra cost. Careful evaluation ensures that formula is distributed only to those with no other recourse to feed their infants. This means that your donation to Yad Eliezer truly feeds the babies who do not have where to turn.
Feed-A- Baby in Honor of my Bat Mitzvah!
In honor of my Bat Mitzvah, I have compiled a cookbook which I am selling, with all proceeds to Yad Eliezer, the largest poverty relief organization in Israel. 100% of every donation will be used to provide baby formula for malnourished babied in Israel.
I chose this program because young children need food in order to become successful in life. There are over 50,000 impoverished babies in Israel. Children who do not receive proper nutrition in their first year of life can suffer brain damage, blindness, anemia, and other tragic conditions- most of which can be prevented with proper nutrition.
The cookbooks that you purchase can help these children. My goal is to feed 10 infants for a year, and since feeding a baby for a year costs $360, I need to sell 200 cookbooks to accomplish this goal.
Thank you!

iPhone Wi-Fi Vulnerability
These guys found a vulnerability and then crafted an exploit via the wi-fi connection and Safari. If Safari is going to the platform of Apple's choice for 3rd party app development, perhaps there is a bit more work to be done.
My favorite quote from the page describing the work.
Does this add credence to Apple's position that 3rd party applications are not allowed on the iPhone for security reasons? We don't think so. Almost all of the security engineering effort on the iPhone seems to have been spent protecting the revenue model, rather than protecting the user (which is, of course, an entirely understandable position). For example, a constrained environment is used to prevent users from loading new ringtones onto the phone, but the applications are not run in a constrained environment to contain damage caused by hackers who exploit them."
Nice "pre-Blackhat / starting the company up and looking to hire" marketing move too. NYT gets the scoop even those surprised that it only took three weeks.Posted by Abner on July 23, 2007 11:03 AM

Timberwolves Show Appreciation For Veterans, Host Wolves Give Thanks Event
Mark Remme
Wolves Editor/Writer
Email / Twitter
Brandon Roy got the opportunity to visit Fort Lewis south of Seattle a few years ago and was able to meet with active military members. Meeting them, hearing their stories and seeing first-hand the sacrifices they make to help protect and serve our country hit home, and it's something he's carried with him since.
So as Roy, five of his teammates and other members of the Timberwolves organization hosted a room full of military veterans and their families on Tuesday at SEVEN Steakhouse for a Thanksgiving-style dinner, the Wolves guard said it was a special moment being able to say thank you in a unique way.
[Related Content: View a photo gallery from Tuesday's Wolves Give Thanks event at SEVEN.]
"It just gives you perspective that they give us the chance to go out and play basketball and display our freedoms, and without them we wouldn't be able to do that," Roy said. "For me to come out here and just talk to them and shake their hands, it means a lot."
The Timberwolves' FastBreak Foundation, the Roger and Nancy McCabe Foundation and POPP Communications hosted the team's annual Wolves Give Thanks event on Tuesday as part of Operation: Heroes Month, hosting military veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq and their families for dinner.
More than 100 people attended, where Roy, Dante Cunningham, Greg Stiemsma, Malcolm Lee, Derrick Williams, Alexey Shved and player development coach Shawn Respert joined team president Chris Wright in serving food to the veterans and their families.
Among those in the group were 30 Purple Heart recipients.
The players posed for photos with the guests and were able to express their appreciation for their service.
Wolves forward Dante Cunningham, whose parents each spent about 30 years in the Air Force, said he understands the dynamic of families who have loved ones serving in the Armed Forces. He said being able to facilitate a night like Wolves Give Thanks not only means a lot to their guests, but it means a lot to him and his teammates.
"The biggest thing I take away is just what the Timberwolves organization can do, just by serving food, just be us spending our time here," Cunningham said. "It goes a long way, as little as an hour to bring everyone together, to bring generations of war veterans here to come here and eat. It's just a great feeling. It's hard to put into words, but it's just a warming feeling to be here for this."
World War II veteran Lu Vorpahl spent time in the Philippines during his service. He returned home more than 60 years ago, and he said he's never quite been to a veteran-related event like Wolves Give Thanks. Now 101 years old, the St. Anthony Village resident said he thoroughly enjoyed the event.
"They don't forget, I can tell you that," Vorpahl said. "I'm just surprised how nice people are, and I'm grateful for them. It's been quite a few years since, and this is the nicest thing I've been to. The Timberwolves' dinner, it's very nice."
It was a night for all generations, ranging from Vorpahl all the way through veterans who served in Iraq. The McCabes said they grew up in the Vietnam era, and they remember what it was like when veterans returned home. Nancy McCabe said being able to work with the FastBreak Foundation during November's Operation: Heroes Month was a perfect fit for reaching out to veterans in the state.
Bill Popp, president of POPP Communications, said an important facet of the evening's festivities is remembering that when a person joins the military, it's a commitment not only for the individual but for the individual's family.
"It's a family experience," Popp said. "And we need to do a better job of saying thank you to military families. We need to do a better job of recognizing that sacrifices that those families make, and I really believe that we are doing a good job of that now."
Wright agreed. He and his wife each have veterans in their families, and he emphasized that the freedoms we enjoy every day are available because of the time these veterans spent protecting our country.
"It's amazing what we have today because of what other people have done for us," Wright said. "They allow us to have the lifestyles we have, the freedoms that we have every single day."
Roy said the night was a combination of meeting the veterans and their families, hearing their stories and conveying his deep appreciation for their service.
"This is our way of saying thank you," Roy said. "Of course they can come out to the game and watch us play basketball, and that's our way of making them happy, but it's always good to serve them and show them our appreciation for what they do for our country."

State seeks permission to grow trial crops of GM drought-tolerant
THE first genetically modified wheat crop in Victoria's history could be growing within six months.
The Victorian Government has applied to a Federal Government regulator for permission to grow trial crops of drought-tolerant GM wheat.
If the application is approved, as critics expect, by the Gene Technology Regulator within the Federal Government's Department of Health and Ageing, two crops of the GM wheat would be grown in Horsham and Mildura.
The State Government has requested permission to run the trial from next May until March 2008, but a spokesman for the Gene Technology Regulator said that a decision could be made as late as June 20 next year.
Craig Rowston, spokesman for Victorian Agriculture Minister Joe Helper, said the Government had imposed a moratorium on the commercial release of GM canola, but allowed small-scale research and development into GM crops.
Under the Victorian proposal, up to 30 lines of GM wheat would be grown in a maximum area of 0.225 hectares.
All states except Queensland and the Northern Territory have imposed some form of moratorium on GM crops, citing environment, food safety and marketing concerns.
Victoria's moratorium on commercial canola crops runs until 2008, with exceptions only for field trials.
Approvals for GM wheat trials in Australia have been granted only six times, and only twice since the present regulations were introduced in 2001.
The six trials took place in Western Australia, the ACT and South Australia. There has been no previous GM wheat trial in Victoria.
"There has been other GM research in crops (in Victoria) but this is the first time for wheat," Mr Rowston said.
A spokesman for the federal regulator said a risk assessment and risk management plan would now be prepared for the Victorian proposal.
He said that if approved, the GM wheat trial crops would be surrounded by set boundaries, pollen traps and "other containment measures".
Gene Ethics director Bob Phelps said he expected that the trial would be approved. However, it was "most likely to be a dead end and a waste of money".
"Drought tolerance is a multi-genic trait, none of them are likely to work," he said.
Mr Phelps said that Victorians would be better served by the State Government investing money in higher priority agricultural problems such as salinity and soil loss.
"There are already, from traditional breeding, drought-tolerant lines of most of our major grain and oil seed crops, so genetic engineering is really a sideshow," Mr Phelps said.
Earlier this year, a group of farm and food industry leaders, chaired by former National Farmers Federation president Peter Corish, called for states to end their bans on commercial GM crops, warning that Australian farmers were being left behind by developments overseas.
The Federal Government has said that the bans on commercial crops were restricting the expansion of agricultural production, but that it had no power to over-ride the states on the issue.

Researchers using 'whale breath' to study endangered orcas off B.C. coast
VANCOUVER — Researchers are hoping the exhaled breath of killer whales living off the coast of British Columbia can provide some insight into the endangered animals' health.
NEW GLASGOW – When the Royal Canadian Navy's band performs at Glasgow Square next weekend, there will be several familiar faces on stage.
New Glasgow native, Leading Seaman Natalie Alcorn, is one of the Stadacona Band's French horn players and vocalists. Her niece and sisters will join her for several of the band's vocal sets.
For Alcorn, music is hardwired in her genes. Her parents, Andrew and Janice, are music teachers at NNEC and encouraged her to be musical at a young age. "I started in junior choir at age three, piano at five and trumpet at seven. I picked up French horn at age 14, but continued to play trumpet in jazz band."
She considered studying sciences after high school but was convinced by her parents to pursue music. It was at McGill University she started playing with the Ceremonial Guard in Ottawa and her taste for military life. "I don't mind the military," she said. "It's a great way to stay fit."
Alcorn said she even got top grades for marksmanship with the C7 semi-automatic rifle during basic training.
Since she doesn't get home too often, she's happy to have a chance to perform in her hometown. "One of our PR people said I might know some people since we'd be performing in New Glasgow. I told her I'd probably know all the people."
The Stadacona Band's repertoire isn't limited to military marches. They often play arrangements of Top 40 hits and modern pieces. Alcorn has even sung Adele's 'Skyfall' from the latest James Bond film of the same name. "There are a lot of jazz freelance musicians in the band so that often works its way into our sets," said Alcorn.
Her niece will be singing a Shirley Temple medley arranged specially for her by the band while Alcorn and her sisters Robyn and Jodie will be singing some boogie-woogie and swing tunes in the Andrew Sisters style.
All proceeds from the concert will go to the Friends of the Pioneer Cemetery, who are working to stabilize and restore the 18th century cemetery. At least 12 passengers who travelled on the Ship Hector from Scotland in 1773 are buried in the cemetery. The band will perform at Glasgow Square on May 11 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door.

Hi, I'm Christopher Morgan. You may remember me from such articles as, "Dinner, my enemy!" or "How I Fell in Love with an Alien Lizard". Once upon a time, I was a far more regular presence here in the hallowed halls of Heroes and Heartbreakers. I've been know as many things here. Romance Virgin, Tolkien aficionado, Star Wars Fanboy, and a gamer. But, it's that last bit I would like to indulge for bit, if you will permit me.
You see, this whole thing emerged out of a conversation I recently had with a friend concerning power fantasies and gaming. The state of the gaming community is a bit… toxic, and I am perfectly willing to leave that discussion to those conversations to my far wiser and smarter betters. But, through course of that discussion, I made a realization. Geralt of Rivia, the Butcher of Blavakin, Witcher of the Wolf School, is, in fact, a Romance Hero.

Mykel Jones is a 6-foot, 185-pound wide out with 4.45 speed from Patterson (LA) He has offers from Akron, Alabama, Houston, Tennessee and Texas to name a few. Charlie Strong has made a lasting impression on the four-star wide receiver.
"I love those longhorns," Mykel Jones said. "Coach Strong is a great coach and will be turning that program around to one of the top schools in the country real soon."
Jones understands Texas has not lived up to the standards the last couple of years but feels they are a sleeping giant.
"As of now the program has a lot of potential and it's up to them on how great they want to be," Jones said. "My relationship with the staff is great, coach [Chris] Vaughn loves me and wants me to come to Texas really bad."
Jones has great change of direction, strong hands, speed, explosiveness and the ability to out think his opponent.

As the Bellarmine Prep seniors prepared for their final game at Memorial Field, two things weighed heavy on their minds – winning their final appearance on their home field and clinching their third consecutive Narrows League 4A title. But Olympia – and their 6-foot-5 senior running back Cedar Frost – torched the Lions' defense for 220 yards, and the Bears kept the Bellarmine Prep offense out of the end zone all night long as they took a 28-10 win on Oct. 25.
"Olympia just flat outplayed us," said Bellarmine head coach Tom Larsen. "They beat us in every facet of the game."
The Bears got things rolling on their second possession when quarterback Derrick Becker hit Colin Courter with a 5-yard scoring strike with 2:58 to go in the first quarter to give Olympia a lead they would not give up. The Bears added to the lead midway through the second quarter when Becker hit a wide-open Cooper Murphy for a 60-yard touchdown pass for a 14-0 lead. The Lions would finally find some semblance of an offense when Matt Phillichi hit a 42-yard field goal with 2:04 to go in the first half to cut it to 14-3 lead at halftime.
"We tried to make a few adjustments at the half, but it was more of the same in the second half," Larsen said. "We ended up getting beat by a good football team."
The Bears put the capper on this game with a classic drive on their first possession of the second half, marching 79 yards in 11 plays, with Becker scoring on a six-yard run with 3:27 left in the third quarter. Becker later added a 6-yard touchdown pass to Courter to give Olympia a commanding 28-7 lead.
Garrett McKay gave Lions fans something to shout about late, bringing a punt back 84 yards for a touchdown with 4:21 left in the game.
The win kept the Bears alive in the 4A playoff race, as they needed a win on Nov. 1 plus a win by South Kitsap over Central Kitsap. The Lions, meanwhile, will have another chance for the Narrows 4A title when they travel to take on Olympia – which currently sits alone in first place at 5-0 – at 7 p.m. on Nov. 1 at Roy Anderson Field.
"In addition to being outplayed (tonight), we missed some good scoring opportunities in the first half," Larsen said. "As a result, we'll have to travel to Gig Harbor to try and get that third consecutive title on Friday night."

(December 2002)
The Internal Audit Division (SIV) undertook an audit of the Contributions to the Secretariat of the United Nations (UN) Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) as part of its review of Departmental Grants and Contributions. The scope of the audit focussed on the Environmental Relations Division's (AER) management of these contribution arrangements. The Audit Team did not audit the Secretariat itself, but rather AER's efforts to manage this contribution program in accordance with Treasury Board and Departmental Policy.
Overall, we found that AER has taken reasonable steps to manage DFAIT's relationship with the CBD. AER, however, needs to exercise its authority to request audit reports prepared by the UN Board of External Auditors. Although appropriate steps are taken to monitor the Secretariat's activities and the use of contribution funds, audit reports would provide additional assurance that funds have been used as intended.
There was a total of four recommendations in this report for which the Division is responsible for their implementation. The current status finds that the Division has implemented two of these recommendations while two are in the process of being implemented.
1.1.1 This audit focussed on the Environmental Relations Division's (AER) management of the Contributions to the UN Secretariat of the CBD. The Audit Team did not audit the Secretariat itself, but rather AER's efforts to manage this contribution program in accordance with Treasury Board and Departmental Policy.
1.1.2 The primary focus of the audit was on the three contribution agreements in effect during fiscal year 2000-01. This audit examined AER's practices in accordance with the revised Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments, which came into effect on June 1, 2000.
1.2.1 The objectives of this audit were to review AER's practices and controls in place for the management of the CBD contribution program as well as to identify potential improvements that would assist the Division in its administrative and operational frameworks surrounding this program. AER's practices were reviewed to ensure:
1.3.1 To undertake this audit, relevant program documentation was reviewed and personnel in AER, the Area Management Office, Supplier Accounts and Program Analysis were interviewed.
2.1.1 The Convention on Biological Diversity came into effect in December 1993, pursuant to an agreement reached at the United Nations Conference of Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro. At that time, 168 nations were signatories to the Convention. The three main objectives of this Convention are:
2.1.2 The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the governing body of the Convention. It meets periodically to advance implementation of the Convention through its decisions, including approval of activities for which DFAIT provides discretionary contributions.
2.1.3 The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity was established under Article 24 of the Convention. Its functions are:
2.1.4 The Secretariat is administered by the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP). The Secretariat is financed through contributions made to its three trust funds:
DFAIT's contributions to the Secretariat are paid through the UNEP.
3.1.1 AER makes use of two Treasury Board authorities in fulfilment of DFAIT's obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity. These authorities are reflected under two Funds; T602 and T689.
3.2.1 The first authority which AER uses for annual payments is TB***, which pertains to DFAIT's authority "to make contributions to international environmental programs, initiatives, organizations and international secretariats administering environmental agreements to which Canada is a party, or which support Canadian foreign policy environmental objectives"(2). Under this authority, AER makes, inter alia, payments to cover Canada's annual voluntary contribution. The Secretariat determines each country's annual fee. This annual contribution is paid under Fund T602 (International Environmental Agreements). Canada's share is approximately three percent of the total assessment. AER was not required to produce a contribution agreement in this instance, due to the nature of the contribution.
3.2.2 The Audit Team examined the authority under which US$49,500 was provided to the Secretariat to convene the First Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group on Forest Biological Diversity. This amount was for the support of on-going activities and was made under T602 (International Environmental Agreements) to support Canadian foreign policy objectives, consistent with the relevant TB Authority.
3.2.3 Upon project completion, the Secretariat submitted its final deliverables including: a final financial statement and narrative report as required in the agreement. The financial statement identified total incurred costs of US$17,767. As per terms of agreement, the recipient is required to return to the Receiver General of Canada funds which are not disbursed or accounted for, unless the funds can be accounted for under a different but related project. AER informed the Audit Team that it is working with the Secretariat to clarify the status of any unspent funds.
3.2.4 AER should clarify the status of any unspent funds to ensure that they are directed to different but related projects as allowed under the authority before initiating recovery of the potential overpayment to the Secretariat.
3.2.4 AER will seek information on the unspent funds to which the audit report makes reference and ensure they are being used appropriately, as per this recommendation. AER will ensure this approach is taken in following up on future ad hoc contributions.
3.3.1 In keeping with Canada's special responsibilities as the host country of the Secretariat of the Convention a US$400,000 contribution agreement was signed to provide financial assistance for the on-going activities of the Secretariat, to support approved activities in the implementation of the Convention during the period January to March 2001.
3.3.2 For this contribution, AER uses the second Treasury Board authority which is comprised of two components. DFAIT provided the Secretariat with a one-time contribution of $200,000 in 1995-96 to assist with the physical relocation of the Secretariat from Geneva to Montreal. The second component is DFAIT's authority to make contribution payments of US$800,000 per calendar year to the Secretariat in support of its on-going activities, in particular, to cover the cost of participation and travel of other member states. These contributions are paid under Fund T689 (Permanent Secretariat of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity).
3.3.3 The Audit Team observed that DFAIT made only one payment of US$400,000 to the Secretariat in 2000/01. In the same year, $400,000 was transferred to T602, under the International Environment Program authority. Although the transfer did not exceed the authority of T602, there was no documentation on file explaining the $400,000 transfer to T602.
3.3.4 AER should ensure that all authority shortfalls and subsequent transfers to other authorities are fully documented and placed on file.
3.3.4 AER will continue to work closely with EAM and SMP, as appropriate, to ensure all transactions are properly documented. The Department will need to continue to demonstrate flexibility to ensure that the fact its budget year is not coterminous with that of the Secretariat does not result in funding shortfalls for the Secretariat.
3.4.1 Both contribution agreements negotiated in 2000-01 met the basic requirements as per the new Policy on Grants and Contributions, with the one exception - the right of the Department to undertake an audit was not identified. For discretionary contributions to the Secretariat, ambiguity exists regarding the ability to exercise the audit provisions. It is important, however, to identify the dilemma between the Department and UN organizations, in terms of audit. Given the numerous member countries in these organizations, it is difficult for the Department to undertake an audit, without the support of other members. The Treasury Board's requirement to incorporate a clause indicating the Department's right to audit conflicts with the UN's practice on audits. This practice consists of audits being prepared by the UN Board of External Auditors. Canada is not specifically consulted by the UN on the scope of examination, relevance, objectives, reporting requirements or results of UN audits. However, it is our understanding that the reliability and integrity of the data will be consistent with the standards maintained by the UN in its financial managing and audit process.
3.4.2 The Secretariat has been subject to at least two audits by the UN Board of External Auditors, however, AER has not requested copies. These reports would provide AER with an assessment of the reliability and integrity of the financial information and provide an additional assurance that funds have been used as intended. While the Secretariat provides details on expenditures, there are no receipts to substantiate amounts shown. Reviewing independent audit reports would provide assurance regarding the integrity of financial claims for reimbursement of costs.
3.4.3 AER should request audit reports prepared by the UN Board of External Auditors.
3.4.3 AER will request reports on the audits prepared to date by the UN Board of External Auditors and will further request that the Secretariat make future such reports available in a timely manner.
3.5.1 Departmental monitoring of results achieved under the contribution agreements is carried out in part through DFAIT's representation at funded activities, after which a report is prepared on the content of the activity. Also the Deputy Director and Program Manager of AER attend the COP meetings. COP meets every second year to review budgets, to ascertain whether or not activities took place in accordance with expectations and to ensure funding to the recipient is used for agreed purposes. A report is prepared by the COP outlining the findings and the decisions made by member countries. Departmental representatives also prepare a report and debrief before and after the COP meetings, providing AER with appropriate monitoring to sustain program accountability.
3.5.2 The Secretariat provides AER with final reports including a detailed expenditure report as well as a substantive report as outlined in each contribution agreement. AER reviews the reports and ensures funds have been spent in accordance with the agreement. In one instance, the final narrative report prepared by the Secretariat identified member countries having provided funding for the conference, one of which being Canada. However, in the final report, Canada's financial contribution was excluded and the Program Manager did not bring this omission to the attention of the Secretariat. AER needs to follow up on these reports with the Secretariat when warranted.
3.5.3 AER should follow up on project reports when the need arises.
3.5.3 AER will continue to monitor project reports and ensure action is taken where necessary.
1 The Convention on Biological Diversity, Article 24.

I have stated my opinion in the past
December 13 2010 at 9:14 AM
Response to
RON,This is just parsing words and not based on fact
and even though i don't shoot hunter i feel that there is no FUNDAMENTAL difference between a bipod and a tripod that is used with only two of the legs. the real difference is that they are easier to find (camera tripods). since i will be match director at Prado i will continue to allow the use of tripods with one leg retracted. I want to grow hunter class there and don't want uneccessary barriers to entry. people will of course have to realize that they will have to comply with international rules elsewhere and at Angeles and will end up eventually having to get a two legged devise.
Respond to this message
It would be cool to get a ruling from AAFTA...

Launching in March 2016 from Obverse Books, The Black Archive is a series of book-length looks at single Doctor Who stories from 1963 to the present day.
The series will publish six titles each year, in simultaneous digital and print editions. Each title is a twenty to thirty thousand word study of a single televised Doctor Who story, drawing on all eras of the series' history.
Authors confirmed for 2016 include Hugo-nominated editor, critic and podcaster L M Myles (Chicks Unravel Time, Companion Piece, the Verity! podcast), biographer and Doctor Who scholar Lance Parkin (Whoniverse, AHistory, Magic Words: The Extraordinary Life of Alan Moore), and film critic and occasional scriptwriter James Cooray Smith (Kaldor City, various Virgin Film titles).
The series is overseen by author and editor Philip Purser-Hallard, who explains the premise of the series as follows:
'Doctor Who is endlessly fascinating, a powerful storytelling engine about which many millions of words have been written over the years. There are certain stories, though, from all eras of the programme's history, which are exceptionally deep and rewarding – whether because of their unusually powerful writing, rich symbolism or complex themes. Stories like The Massacre, Kinda, Ghost Light, Midnight or Vincent and the Doctor demand to be explored at greater length and in more depth than a website review or entry in an episode guide will allow.
'With this series of critical monographs, these Doctor Who stories can receive the detailed treatment that they so eminently deserve. Our primary emphasis is on the stories as stories, rather than the behind-the-scenes history which has been covered in admirable depth elsewhere. While we aim to make an authoritative and significant contribution to the overall critical conversation about Doctor Who, we intend each of these books to be entertaining as well as of academic interest.'
The Black Archive will launch with four titles in March 2016, covering Doctor Who stories from William Hartnell's tenure as the Doctor to that of current incumbent Peter Capaldi:
* The Black Archive #1: Rose by Jon Arnold
* The Black Archive #2: The Massacre by James Cooray Smith
* The Black Archive #3: The Ambassadors of Death by L M Myles
* The Black Archive #4: Dark Water / Death in Heaven by Philip Purser-Hallard
Jon Arnold has edited fanzines including Shooty Dog Thing: 2th and Claw, and is a major contributor to Hating to Love: Re-evaluating the 52 Worst Doctor Who Stories of All Time.
James Cooray Smith is the co-author of Who's Next: A Guide to Broadcast Doctor Who, and has contributed production notes to a number of BBC DVD releases.
L M Myles contributed to Chicks Dig Time Lords before co- editing its Hugo-nominated sequel Chicks Unravel Time, and has written Doctor Who prose and audio drama for Big Finish.
Philip Purser-Hallard holds a doctorate in English literature, specialising in science fiction, and has written prose fiction for Doctor Who spinoff ranges as well as original novels.
Further titles will follow at two-monthly intervals during 2016:
* The Black Archive #5: Image of the Fendahl by Simon Bucher-Jones (May)
* The Black Archive #6: Ghost Light by Jonathan Dennis (July)
* The Black Archive #7: The Mind Robber by Andrew Hickey (September)
* The Black Archive #8: The Pirate Planet by Lance Parkin (November)
Confirmed contributors for 2017 include Doctor Who novelist Kate Orman and Magic Bullet producer Alan Stevens.
Titles are available to pre-order through the Obverse Books website. A website for the series can be found at http://blackarchive.co.uk/
Obverse Books Acquires Sexton Blake license
|Obverse Books is delighted to announce the acquisition from IPC Media of the license to the famous Baker Street detective, Sexton Blake.Blake initially appeared in several of the Penny Dreadful style British comics and magazines of the latter 19th and early 20th centuries. Lauded by literary figures as diverse as Dorothy L Sayers and Michael Moorcock, Blake's adventures represent the longest running fictional series in the English language, and appeared in print, in comic format, on radio, television and cinema between 1893 and 1978.
Obverse Books intend to resurrect the famous Sexton Blake Library, commencing with a new novella by best-selling genre author George Mann entitled 'Sexton Blake and the Vengeful Dead', available in hardback and electronic form, and combined with a reprint of a rare, classic Blake story from the inter-war years.
"The acquisition of the Sexton Blake license is an important building block in the growth of our catalogue," said Obverse CEO, Stuart Douglas. "The re-launched Sexton Blake Library will build upon our existing mystery and crime releases, while at the same time fulfilling a long-standing personal ambition to bring the longest-running detective series in literary history back to life."
Talking about his own novel, George Mann added: "I've been an avid devotee of Sexton Blake for many years, and it's such an honour to be writing the first instalment of the newly resurrected Sexton Blake Library.

This just in: Rumor Confirms Rumor
I'm definitely getting one ;-)
Glad it's been confirmed. Regarding the applications not supporting retina display as fast as we predict, I'm inclined to believe they will be updated pretty fast. I don't think it's just wishful thinking really, I think developers are ready for it... I think they know it's coming and they are ready to get to work. Hopefully this is how it's going to go down.
No need for rumors I'm 100% sure the iPad 3 will have a retina display. Apple has made it so obvious, you just have to pay close attention
Been holding back on an iPad since they came out... Was waiting for it to be retina and for more developers to make things retina compatible... Also was waiting for all the sites using flash content to get hip to the fact that all iDevice owners could not view the content. I will wait for the iPad 3 to be out for a few months till the frenzy chills a little and until its Jailbroken and my favorite tweaks are compatible... Then I will tweak out on Cydia day and night with my iPad 3 until its as tweaked as my phone... And get digital subscriptions to Skateboard Magazines to balance out all those trees I helped kilI over the years to supply paper and wooden planks my for my pleasure... What dies in nature so that an iPad can be alive in our hands? I wonder...
Can somebody please explain to me how it is even remotely possible that a 10" wide, 1" thick device would support a resolution higher than a dedicated LED Cinema Display??
I'm sorry, the iPad 3 is going to get a higher resolution display (call it retina if you will, whatever that's supposed to mean) but that resolution rumor is nothing else than day dreaming!

Caligula, 16 March 37 - 24 January 41 A.D.
The first Rome mint portrait sestertius type, and a highly sought after reverse type.SH84794. Orichalcum sestertius, RIC I 33; BMCRE p. 152, 36; BnF II 47; Cohen I 4; SRCV I 1800, gF, excellent centering and strike, attractive portrait, patina worn and scraped on high points, bumps and scratches, weight 27.881 g, maximum diameter 35.6 mm, die axis 180o, Rome mint, 37 - 38 A.D.; obverse C CAESAR AVG GERMANICVS PON M TR POT, laureate head left; reverse AGRIPPINA DRVSILLA IVLIA, the three sisters of Caligula standing, in the guises of Securitas, Concordia, and Fortuna, S C (senatus consulto) in exergue; rare; $2260.00 (�2011.40)
Macrinus, 11 April 217 - 8 June 218 A.D.
Securitas stands perfectly at her ease, with legs crossed and leaning on a column, clearly relaxed, having nothing to fear. Macrinus was praised for restoring security by eliminating the fratricidal son of Severus, long feared as the most cruel tyrant of Rome, beloved only by a venal soldiery, whom his largesses had enriched.
SH77277. Silver denarius, RIC IV 92b, BMCRE V 80, RSC III 122c corr. (Antioch), Hunter III 32 var. (draped, no cuirass), SRCV II 7365, Choice EF, nearly as struck, light tone on luster, superb portrait, well centered, small edge cracks, weight 3.140 g, maximum diameter 20.0 mm, die axis 0o, Rome mint, obverse IMP C M OPEL SEV MACRINVS AVG, laureate and cuirassed bust right; reverse SECVRITAS TEMPORVM (time of security), Securitas standing facing, head left, scepter in right hand, left leg crossed in front of right, leaning with left forearm on column; $450.00 (�400.50)
Tacitus, 25 September 275 - June 276 A.D.
The officina is an interesting notation of five, using U instead of the usual V or E. This notation only became common on Byzantine coins, at a much later date. RIC 163 also records officina six for the type, written in Latin, VI. MER-RIC lists this type as sixth officina (UI).SH77276. Billon antoninianus, MER-RIC 3449, RIC V 163, BnF XII 1704, Ven�ra 1928 - 1949, SRCV III 11812, Choice EF, excellent portrait, well centered, near full silvering, weight 4.052 g, maximum diameter 22.1 mm, die axis 345o, 5th officina, Ticinum (Pavia, Italy) mint, 2nd emission, early-mid 276 A.D.; obverse IMP C M CL TACITVS AVG, radiate and cuirassed bust right; reverse SECVRIT PERP (everlasting security), Securitas standing left, raising right hand to head, resting left elbow on column, U in exergue; from the Jyrki Muona Collection; $180.00 (�160.20)
Philip I the Arab, February 244 - End of September 249 A.D.
Securitas sits at ease, clearly relaxed, having nothing to fear. This was, of course, typical Roman propaganda. Philip was so overwhelmed by the number of invasions and usurpers that he went to the Senate and offered to resign.RB76156. Orichalcum sestertius, RIC IV 190, Cohen V 216, Hunter III 78, SRCV III 9018, gVF, nice portrait, well centered, areas of light corrosion, edge cracks, weight 21.475 g, maximum diameter 32.8 mm, die axis 180o, Rome mint, 249 A.D.; obverse IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right, from behind; reverse SECVRIT ORBIS (the world is safe), Securitas seated at ease left, scepter in her right hand, propping head on her left hand, S C (senatus consulto) in exergue; $170.00 (�151.30)
Macrinus, 11 April 217 - 8 June 218 A.D.
The same types with the same legends may have been minted for Macrinus at both Rome and Antioch. Some examples with a short beard and younger face are clearly of the style of Rome (and probably look little like Macrinus who was in the east). Some, but probably not all, examples with a longer beard and older features were probably minted at Antioch. RIC does not attempt to distinguish between the products of the two mints.RS73902. Silver denarius, RIC IV 24b; RSC III 62; BMCRE V p. 501, 40; Hunter III 19; SRCV II 7347, VF, well centered, very dark thick toning, perhaps debased silver, weight 2.495 g, maximum diameter 20.3 mm, die axis 0o, Antioch (or Rome?) mint, Jan 217 A.D.; obverse IMP C M OPEL SEV MACRINVS AVG, laureate cuirassed bust right; reverse PONTIF MAX TR P COS P P (high priest, tribune of the people, consul, father of the country), Securitas standing facing, head left, legs crossed, long scepter vertical in right, resting left arm on column; $140.00 (�124.60)
Gordian III, 29 July 238 - 25 February 244 A.D.
In Roman Coins and Their Values, Volume III, David Sear notes this type was issued for the wedding of Gordian and Tranquillina.
Under Gordian III the same coin types were often struck at both Rome and Antioch. One way to distinguish Gordian's coins struck at Antioch from those struck at Rome is the shape of the letter M. On coins from Antioch, M usually resembles a V in the middle of two I's, thus IVI. From the Rome mint, M normally resembles two lambdas, thus ΛΛ.RS79932. Silver denarius, RIC IV 130 (R), RSC IV 340, Hunter III 65, SRCV III 8682, Choice gVF, well centered, nice metal, die wear, weight 2.879 g, maximum diameter 19.6 mm, die axis 180o, Rome mint, issued for wedding to Tranquillina, 241 - 242 A.D.; obverse IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right, from behind; reverse SECVRITAS PVBLICA (security of the public), Securitas seated left, at ease, scepter in right hand, propping head with left hand; $125.00 (�111.25)
Gordian III, 29 July 238 - 25 February 244 A.D.
On 25 February 244, Gordian III was murdered by mutinous soldiers in Zaitha (Mesopotamia). Philip the Arab, who had been responsible for Gordian's "perpetual security," declared himself emperor.
RB73637. Orichalcum sestertius, RIC IV 335a, Cohen V 329, Hunter III 152, SRCV III 8740, VF, excellent portrait, well centered and struck, attractive brown surfaces, light marks and corrosion, small edge cracks, weight 17.188 g, maximum diameter 30.5 mm, die axis 0o, Rome mint, 5th issue, c. 243 - Jul 244 A.D.; obverse IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right, from behind; reverse SECVRITAS PERPET (everlasting security), Securitas standing facing, head left, right leg crossed in front of left leg, vertical scepter in right hand, leaning with left arm on column, S - C (senatus consulto) flanking across field; $105.00 (�93.45)
Gordian III, 29 July 238 - 25 February 244 A.D.
In winter 241, Gordian III arrived at Antioch and began to prepare with his army for an offensive against the Persians. In 242, Shapur I made a preemptive attack on Antioch to drive him out. Gordian's father-in-law, Timesitheus, repeatedly defeated the Persians until, in 243, Shapur was forced to retreat back to Persia.RS65189. Silver denarius, RIC IV 130 (R), RSC IV 340, Hunter III 65, SRCV III 8682, VF, well centered, weight 3.174 g, maximum diameter 20.2 mm, die axis 45o, Rome mint, 241 - 242 A.D.; obverse IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right, from behind; reverse SECVRITAS PVBLICA (security of the public), Securitas seated left, at ease, scepter in right hand, propping head with left hand; $85.00 (�75.65)
Constans, 9 September 337 - 19 January 350 A.D.
The RIC lists this type as common but this is only the third coin of Constans with this reverse type handled by Forum.RL68789. Billon reduced centenionalis, RIC VIII Rome 11, LRBC I 588, SRCV V 18566, Cohen VII 102, Voetter -, Hunter V -, VF, attractive green patina, weight 1.331 g, maximum diameter 15.9 mm, die axis 180o, 4th officina, Rome mint, 9 Sep 337 - spring 340 A.D.; obverse D N FL CONSTANS AVG, laurel and rosette diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust right; reverse SECVRITAS REIP (security of the Republic), Securitas standing right holding scepter in right and leaning left elbow on column, R clover leaf Q in exergue; rare; $65.00 (�57.85)
Probus, Summer 276 - September 282 A.D., EQVITI Series II of Ticinum, I, VIXXI
Ticinum mint EQVITI series II - click "EQVITI" to read the NumisWiki article, "Coins of Probus with Coded Markings of EQVITI Embedded in the mint mark." The letter "I" in the reverse field is the fourth letter of the codeword EQVITI. The letter "VI" in the exergue indicates this coin was struck by the sixth officina (mint workshop). The letters of the word EQVITI are coded in the mint marks of coins from all the officinae of the mint, with the specific letters of the codeword assigned to each officina in order corresponding with their officina numbers. This codeword probably refers to cavalry. It may be AEQVITI truncated because there were only six officinae in operation.RA51609. Billon antoninianus, RIC V, part 2, 525, EF, centered, much silvering remaining, weight 3.736 g, maximum diameter 23.1 mm, die axis 180o, Ticinum (Pavia, Italy) mint, obverse IMP C PROBVS AVG, radiate bust left in consular robe, eagle-tipped scepter in right; reverse SECVRIT PERP (everlasting security), Securitas standing left raising right hand to head and resting left elbow on column, I right, VIXXI in exergue; $55.00 (�48.95)
