Hunting has occurred for millenniums in Europe. However, where it was once the sport of royalty it is now enjoyed by people from around the world. Hunting can range from rugged alpine hunts to the rolling hills of cork forests. The climate during hunting seasons compares favorably with that of North America in the fall and is usually fairly mild.
Some of the countries where we offer hunts are: Spain, France, Austria, Switzerland, Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria, Greece and Macedonia. There is a wide variety of deer species available to hunt for the visiting sportsman, including: red deer, fallow deer, roe deer, muntjac and Chinese water deer. There are six types of ibex: Gredos, Beceite, Southeastern, Ronda, Kri-Kri and alpine. Also found in the mountains will be five varieties of chamois: alpine, Cantabrian, Balkan, Carpathian and Pyrenean. Wild boar can be found in many countries, as well as Mouflon sheep. The European brown bear compares favorably with the grizzly of North America and is hunted in Romania and Croatia.
It goes without saying that the infrastructure in Europe affords rapid travel, excellent accommodations and superb meals. The distances aren't great, the people are fantastic and, while not the primary language, English is spoken in most countries. The sightseeing opportunities are endless and this makes it a superb choice for combining a hunting trip and a vacation.

Psychobaby Red Skull Infant Sack
Oh. My. Goodness. I think I need it. It's RED for one.. not Another Pastel Sleeper. And the skull & crossbones? It's at once cool and cute, attitude-y and adorable.
So cute. So punky. And really, hunting through the laundry to try and find the ate for a teeny little sock is a bit like searching for buried treasure, so I suppose it's fitting to have the pirate's Jolly Roger on these socks.Tags: Clothes, socks, Footwear, skull, accessories, infant, crossbones, BayAdded 9 Years Ago from Psycho Baby

Nick Clegg says it is "not appropriate" to "throw the full force of the law" at the parents of Ashya King, as they continue to be held in Spain away from their sick son.
The deputy prime minister waded into the row over the treatment of the five-year-old and his parents at the hands of the authorities, after Ashya's dad Brett and mum Naghmeh removed him from hospital last Thursday to seek alternative treatment for their child's brain tumour.
There are growing calls for the couple to be released from detention after a judge ruled yesterday they should be remanded for another 72 hours while the court decides whether to grant a British extradition request.
But Mr Clegg told BBC Breakfast: "My heart goes out - and I'm sure every mum or dad will have the same response, which is, as far as I can make out, this is a family in a state of real anguish who have taken this exceptional step of moving their sick child to another country because they think that's what is best for their child.
"We can debate whether it is or is not but that seems to be their motive and those are not motives I can argue with.
"That's why I personally think that throwing the full force of the law at Mr and Mrs King, who appear to be doing what they believe to be best for their own family, I don't think is an appropriate thing to do. But that, at the end of the day, is for the police and the CPS and others to decide.
"But that's my personal view and I do hope, for that reason, it'll be resolved.
"A little boy is on his own in a hospital, doesn't speak Spanish, is cut off from his parents and his siblings and I would like to see him together with his family as soon as possible."
He went on to tell Sky News: "I very much, as a person, an individual - I'm not making a political pronouncement here - I understand people's widespread reaction, which is that you can debate whether that is the right treatment or not for this little boy, but for heaven's sake keep this little boy and his parents and his family together."
Mr and Mrs King's lawyer said this morning the couple are considering legal action against Southampton General Hospital, where Ashya was being treated up until they took him to Europe last week.
Juan Isidro Fernandez Diaz, the couple's lawyer in Spain, said they are "so sad", adding: "They are going to prepare legal demands against the hospital in Southampton. Legal action will be against the hospital."
Mr Diaz told BBC's Radio 5 Live that the couple "wanted the very best for their child".
"They never thought that they committed any crime in the UK," he said.
"The child is in perfect conditions. All the doctors said (there was) no problem with the child to travel from England to Spain because the father knows (how) to give treatment to the child.
"We are saying the boy is not in danger. The big brother is with the boy and he is in perfect conditions."
An online petition calling on David Cameron and the police to help reunite Mr and Mrs King with their son has now gathered more than 98,000 signatures, and two online appeals for cash to help pay for proton beam treatment for the youngster have already raised £21,000.
The Kings had been hoping to sell their holiday home near Malaga to raise £100,000 to fund the therapy abroad for their son's brain cancer.
Ethan Dallas, a friend of Ashya's brother Naveed, said he will take the petition calling for the family to be reunited to Downing Street later.
He said: "I think that he (David Cameron) just needs to release Brett and his wife and allow them to choose the treatment that they see fit for their son."
He added: "I've spoken to Naveed on Skype and he's said that they are all super-stressed, they've barely slept at all and they're just really, really hoping to see their little brother really soon."

Fujitsu has unveiled the first consumer-level color e-paper device, the FLEPia. It has an 8-inch screen that can display 260,000 colors at a resolution of 768 x 1014, is just 12.5 mm thick, and will run for 40 hours on a charge. Storage is via SD card. The OS is Windows CE 5.0 (it comes with reader software included but is not purely an e-book device). It goes on sale today for 99,750 yen ($1011.47 US at today's exchange rate) and is scheduled to start shipping on April 20th. For more details read a translated press release here.
Sounds pretty sexy, until you see it in action. The rather muted colors might just be a factor of bad filming, but both response time and screen refresh rates seem very slow to me. The press release says that Microsoft Office can be "be used to generate text documents, spreadsheets, or presentations" but I can't imagine what that process would feel like. I suppose screen refresh isn't as much of a factor for e-book reading, but I still think color e-paper displays need a bit more development time before they become more than an interesting novelty. I certainly wouldn't want to 'flip through' a magazine if every page took this long to draw.
Still, it's a start and the technology will continue to improve. A color e-paper device with snappy refresh rates is no doubt right around the corner.
Thanks to Engadget for bringing the device to our attention.

Time magazine has named the recently re-elected US President
The venerable American news magazine said the United States is in the midst of huge cultural and demographic changes and Obama is "both the symbol and in some ways the architect of this new America".
The magazine noted that Obama was the first president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt to win more than 50 per cent of the vote in two straight elections and the first since 1940 to be re-elected despite a jobless rate above 7.5 per cent.
Obama beat Republican
"In 2012, he found and forged a new majority, turned weakness into opportunity and sought, amid great adversity, to create a more perfect union," said Time, which named Obama person of the year in 2008 when he became America's first black president.

WATCH: Mick Jagger Pokes Fun at Himself
Mick Jagger certainly has a good sense of humor, even if he is the butt of the joke.
He and Stones drummer Charlie Watts filmed a short promo film for the legendary U.K. comedy troupe Monty Python, which started a 10-night reunion run earlier this week at London's O2 Arena.
In the clip, Jagger goes on about how the Pythons are "a bunch of wrinkly old men trying to relive their youth and make a load of money... Who wants to see that again?" asks Jagger as Watts is slumped on the couch beside him watching the World Cup.
The 10 shows run through July 20th and there is talk of a world tour.
Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton went to the Monty Python dress rehearsal last Friday in London and says it was "hilarious."

From: Bridget Kopetzky <>
Subject: Re: [Q-R] DORION+ VERONNEAU
Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2011 15:23:19 -0500
My two cents worth:
First, the date of the marriage of Pierre Champagne and Angelique
Duval is 10 January, not 10 July, 1825.
I read the FamilySearch version quite clearly as V??boncoeur (Note
that the oe are clearly written as one symbol, not two separate
letters.) I wouldn't say that it was written Vadeboncoeur, though.
There isn't a tall letter before the b, and there is only one,
possibly two letters after the V before the b. If you enlarge the
Family Search version (image 5 of 24, 1825-1832, St. Polycarpe) it is
not difficult to read. Furthermore, Pierre's mother's first name is
written as Louis, not Louise.
On the much more difficult to read Ancestry version, the mother's
first name is written Louise. Her surname looks to me as though it was
written Varboncoeur.
Next, it appears that the dit names of Champagne that you might be
looking for are Lorion or Orion, but not Dorion. I found family trees
online for members of this family with those dit names and they are
some of the dit names for Champagne in PRDH. Dorion is not one of the
dit names in PRDH. At the marriage of Charles to Louise Mirabent on 18
June 1798 at Nicolet it is very clearly written as Orion in the margin
and in the text.
Congratulations on clearing up your mystery!

In 2011, Miesha Tate criticized her rival Ronda Rousey for taking off her clothes for ESPN Magazine's Body Issue. Now, two years later, Tate is doing the same thing.
Tate said in 2011: "Anyone else think it's hypocritical 4 Ronda Rousey to talk crap about ring girls in playboy but it's totally fine 2 pose 'artistically nude?'"
Several people have called Tate a hypocrite for appearing nude in the Body Issue but Tate doesn't see anything hypocritical about her previous statements.
The MMA fighter posted a message on Twitter today asking her fans to go back and read her full comments. Tate said that she had a problem with Rousey criticizing people like Kim Kardashian and the MMA ring girls and then posing nude in The Body Issue.
Here are Tate's full comments: "I just get so tired of Ronda criticizing everyone else. I think we should just all live our lives and I don't really care what she does or what anyone else does. It's not our place to judge. I'm just sick of hearing her mouth off about other girls this and that, and Kim that, the Playboy girls this. I'm just like 'just shut up'."To me it's so stupid that you would talk crap about ring girls doing Playboy, which that's kind of what their appeal is – it's a sex appeal. For an athlete, there's no real reason to have to get nude, although I think there's nothing wrong with ESPN. I don't think what Ronda did was wrong.I'm just saying it's not okay to talk crap about the ring girls and then get 1 percent less naked, and say it's okay. To me it kind of falls in that hypocrisy."
Do you think Miesha Tate is a hypocrite? Or do you think her comments were directed more at Ronda Rousey being judgmental and not at her rival stripping for The Body Issue.
Tate said that she agreed to pose for the magazine this year because she wanted to show that female MMA fighters have a feminine side.
Tate said: "One of the of the biggest common misperceptions about women's mixed martial arts is that we're not feminine. So for me it's important to show that women in this sport are comfortable about their bodies, that we're pretty and carry ourselves as women — and we can also turn it up a notch in the cage."
A photo of Tate from the Body Issue leaked online today. You can see the full shoot, which also includes 77-year-old Gary Player, later this week.

He shone again over the weekend, wowing Nicole Scherzinger and her side-kick Ne-Yo at the judges' houses with a performance of I Can't Make You Love Me. However, he revealed his vulnerabilities while in St Lucia, saying: "Taking part in The X Factor is a big deal because I am putting who I am as a person out there, which is something I have been quite afraid of doing. I didn't think that I had the full package, your typical pop star." What we said: "James strummed his way to the judges' houses stage, with a new look somewhere between a pre-fame Jarvis Cocker and the kid from Kes. He sang like a man shouting to overcome a 100-yard restraining order." (week six, boot camp) RT predicts: Has major underdog status and puts real heart and soul into his performances, but seems like someone who could deliver a real stinker if the song doesn't suit him. 3rd Like this?

Betzy Kjelsberg
Betzy Alexandra Kjelsberg[1] (1 November 1866 – 3 October 1950), born Betzy Aleksandra Børresen,[2] was a Norwegian politician for the Liberal Party, being the first female board member of the party, Norway's first female factory inspector from 1910–1936, and a member of the feminist movement. Kjelsberg was born in Svelvik, Vestfold. Her father was Norwegian, while her mother was from Scotland. After her father died, the family moved to Drammen, where Betzy's mother married a merchant from the town. However, he had to close his shop, forcing them to move to Christiania (today Oslo). While living there, she started her examen artium, as one of the first women in Norway to do so, but she never actually finished it due to the poor economy of her stepfather. Instead, she fell in love with Oluf Fredrik Kjelsberg, a jurist, with whom she had six children.[3] Kjelsberg is the great-grandmother of Siv Jensen, the leader of the Norwegian Progress Party.[4]
In 1883, she founded the discussion group Skuld. Kjelsberg created the organizations Kvinnelig Handelsstands forening (1894), Drammen Kvinnesaksforening (1896), with its own housewife school, Drammen Public Health (1899), and Drammen Women's Council (1903). She was a co-founder of the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights (1884), the National Association for Women's Suffrage (1885), which worked for giving women the right to vote, and was a member, and, at a point, the leader of the Norwegian National Women's Council (1904).[3] From 1926–1938, she was the vice-president of the International Council of Women.[2]

To know Lloyd Dobler is to love him. Diane Court is about to know Lloyd Dobler.
Say Anything is one of my all-time favorite romantic movies, and more than likely my favorite one from the '80s: The music, the lines, and above all else, John Cusack gives this movie its place among the greats of pop culture.
Released in 1989, Cusack stars as Lloyd Dobler, an average Joe, taking the chance and asking the class valedictorian, Diane Court, out on a date. She's beautiful, smart, and according to most people, out of Lloyd's league. But to everyone's surprise she doesn't just say anything, she says…yes.
Mike Cameron: I don't know you very well, you know, but I wanted to ask you—how'd you get Diane Court to go out with you?
Lloyd Dobler: I called her up.
Mike Cameron: But how come it worked? I mean, like, what are you?
Lloyd Dobler: I'm Lloyd Dobler.
Mike Cameron: This is great. This gives me hope. Thanks.
Their date is a graduation party and Diane and Lloyd begin spending time together—uch to the disappointment of Diane's father, especially when he finds out that Lloyd aspires to be a professional kick boxer, among other things.
Lloyd Dobler: What I really want to do with my life—what I want to do for a living—is I want to be with your daughter. I'm good at it.
There is a great kissing scene in the rain and they do the deed in the back seat of Lloyd's car. Afterwards, it's Lloyd who's shaken and Diane who's the calm one. It was a nice twist.
Diane Court: Are you shaking?
Lloyd Dobler: No.
Diane Court: You're shaking.
Lloyd Dobler: I don't think so.
Diane Court: You're cold.
Lloyd Dobler: I don't think I am.
Diane Court: Then why are you shaking?
Lloyd Dobler: I don't know. I think I'm happy.
The combined fear of commitment and her father's disapproval convinces Diane to break it off with Lloyd. She just wants to be friends. Ouch. And she gives him a pen to write her while she's away in England.
Lloyd Dobler: She's gone. She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen.
Oh, poor guy! The broken hearted Lloyd roams the streets and finds some local guys hanging out. One is even a very young Jeremy Piven.
Joe: Dude, where'd she dump you, man?
Lloyd Dobler: In the car.
Denny: Oh man, your car? Man, Dissed in the Malibu. That's your castle, man.
Lloyd Dobler: I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere?
Joe: By choice, man.
Lloyd then seeks advice from his friends, who are girls. He's refusing to fight for her out of his wounded male pride.
D.C.: Lloyd, why do you have to be like this?
Lloyd Dobler: 'Cause I'm a guy. I have pride.
Corey Flood: You're not a guy.
Lloyd Dobler: I am.
Corey Flood: No. The world is full of guys. Be a man. Don't be a guy.
Best line ever, in my opinion. But this is coming from a wounded Corey who wrote 85 plus songs about Joey. But I digress.
Most romance movie junkies love the scene when a broken hearted Lloyd stands outside Diane's bedroom window, boom-box raised to the sky, Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" blaring. Yes, that is one of the most sigh-inducing scenes ever, I agree.
Diane still doesn't run out and beg to be taken back, whereas Lloyd had me at Boombox.
Later, Diane finds out her father is a crook who's been ripping off his elderly clients and is about to go to jail. Diane disowns him and goes to find the one thing she believes to be true in this world. For me, this is the most romantic scene.
Lloyd is kickboxing in the ring. He appears to be winning.
Trainer: Hey Lloyd, someone's here to see you.
Lloyd looks up; his opponent kicks him in the face, breaking his nose and knocking him down. We see his nose being fixed, he sneezes and sits up, and then he is given a towel to hold to his nose to catch the blood. Diane goes over to him.
Diane: Lloyd?
Lloyd sits up.
Diane: Lloyd, I'm sorry.
He turns away and gets up. Diane follows him.
Lloyd: What do you want?
Diane: I'm sorry.
Lloyd: What do you want?
Diane: My father's guilty. He lied to me, he lied to everybody. I just left home... I need you.
Lloyd: You do?
Diane: Everything else means nothing to me. If I hurt you again, I'll die.
Lloyd: Hurt me again? Not a chance, don't worry about it.
Diane: I love you.
Lloyd: What?
Diane: I love you. How many more times do I have to say it?
Lloyd: One more time would be nice.
Diane: I love you. Please, I love you.
She moves to kiss him; he pushes her away.
Lloyd: One more question, you're here because you need someone or 'cause you need me? Forget it, I don't care.
He kisses her, they embrace.
Diane: I need you.
How sweet! I love seeing both their vulnerability, their need for each other, and it's oh-so-cute how tough Lloyd tries to be. Diane literally could've said anything standing there and Lloyd would've taken her back. Sigh!
The movie ends with Diance visiting her Dad in jail. She gives him a pen to write her. Bam, in your face Dad. And Lloyd and Diance live happily ever in '80s love.

I've written a few articles advising our users to back up their data. Every so often, usually when we need them the most or when the warranty has expired, our computers stop working. This wouldn't be so horribly bad if we'd backed up our files first. So, let me reiterate for anyone who has read me before that backing-up your data means that the same files are stored in two completely different places. If you've copied all your important files to an external hard drive, but then erased them from your laptop, they are not backed-up; maybe your external hard drive goes kaput, and, even though your computer is still working, all those files are lost from the external device, aren't they? To back up your files they absolutely need to be in two different places. Redundancy is the name of the game, and I'm going to teach you how to play (wow that sounded corny).
Google Chrome is arguably the most popular Web browser currently on the market. It took a few versions before I made the switch from Mozilla Firefox to Chrome, most notably due to Firefox's rich browser extension offerings. Chrome is finally catching up to, and in many ways, surpassing Firefox with its extensions library. A browser extension is special program written specifically for a Web browser that, as the name implies, extends its functionality.
Something I get asked a lot as the librarian tech guy is whether a person in the market for a new smartphone or tablet should buy Apple or Android. This is a far more nuanced question than most people realize, and the answer will depend on a number of factors. Read on for a detailed comparison of the two.
I've bemoaned the existence and use of digital rights management, or DRM as it's more commonly known, in previous Librarypoint articles, but I'm not certain that I've gone point-by-point over what it means for you, the library user, and us, the consumers. DRM is a means by which music, videos, eBooks, documents, software, and just about anything else digital are restricted from being copied, transferred, or used on unapproved hardware. The American Library Association's Digital Content Working Group has recently put out a wonderful tip sheet regarding DRM that I can't recommend more enthusiastically. It goes over what DRM is, some of its consequences and legal ramifications, and what you can do to help work against it. Reading through it is one of the best ways to arm yourself as a digital consumer against some of the more consumer-unfriendly tactics of today's content providers.
As promised in my list of must-have Android apps, here is a list of must-have iPhone apps! The Apple App Store has a larger selection of quality apps than the Google Play store does, though that gap is quickly shrinking. Unfortunately it has fewer free apps, so you'll see more price tags attached to this article. You may also notice several repeats from the Android list, as many of these apps are cross-platform and a joy to use on any device. Your iPhone is a computing powerhouse, and there is so much more that you can do with it than you realize. Take a look at my list below to get some ideas!
Ask your average person what the best ebook tablets on the market are and they will tell you Amazon's Kindle Fire, the Barnes and Noble Nook Tablet, and the Apple iPad. I'll tell you to look elsewhere. Barnes and Noble and Amazon may have created the $200-$250 ebook tablet niche, but others are rushing in to capitalize on it and they're much, much better options. Here's why.
I gave up my smartphone contract the other day and I'm only too glad I did. Wait, this is the library blog - what am I doing writing an opinion piece about cellphone carriers here? Library patrons come to me on a weekly, sometimes daily basis with questions about their smartphones. These little devices we carry around in our pockets and purses like so much loose change represent some of the greatest advancements in computing, telecommunications, and miniaturization technologies ever.
In Margaret Peterson Haddix's Found, Jonah Skidmore feels like an ordinary thirteen-year-old boy. His family consists of a slightly annoying but smart younger sister named Katherine and a mom and dad who love him unconditionally. Jonah is adopted and has known this fact for a while but it's never been a big deal for him because his parents have always been open about it to him. Life definitely feels normal for Jonah. That is, until the mysterious letter arrives--the letter that contains just six words: YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING. The letter does not contain a signature or a return address. Who sent it? Where did it come from? What does it mean?
The Internet is the largest repository of information ever conceived of. It is not, however, the best organized repository of quality information ever conceived of. For those of us who like to use the Internet as a source of continuing education, finding the quality chunks of information and learning can be daunting. Here are a few of the places I like to visit when I'm in the mood to learn something new.
Let me get this out of the way: if you're not a "computer person," someone with more than a vague knowledge of computer networking technology, Brain Jack, by Brian Falkner, is probably not the book for you. If, however, you ARE such a person, Brain Jack will start off as the kind of thriller that you think you will love, but its ending, like so many other cyber-thrillers, feels rushed and absurd. Don't get me wrong--you'll enjoy reading it, but don't expect anything too deep from this book.
Sam is the generic hero of our story. He's 17; he's a computer prodigy; and he's going to save the country from itself. The world of Brain Jack is set only a few years into our future. Falkner does a good job of building a world that, initially, is entirely conceivable based on our present. Computer technology is even more prevalent, and its consequences all the more potent. Las Vegas has been the victim of a nuclear attack that has left it in ruins, and the rest of the country is decaying under strict martial conditions.

Product Description
The astonishing new thriller from the bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code and The Lost Symbol.
'Seek and ye shall find.'
With these words echoing in his head, eminent Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon awakes in a hospital bed with no recollection of where he is or how he got there. Nor can he explain the origin of the macabre object that is found hidden in his belongings.
A threat to his life will propel him and a young doctor, Sienna Brooks, into a breakneck chase across the city of Florence. Only Langdon's knowledge of hidden passageways and ancient secrets that lie behind its historic facade can save them from the clutches of their unknown pursuers.
With only a few lines from Dante's dark and epic masterpiece, The Inferno, to guide them, they must decipher a sequence of codes buried deep within some of the most celebrated artefacts of the Renaissance – sculptures, paintings, buildings – to find the answers to a puzzle which may, or may not, help them save the world from a terrifying threat…
Set against an extraordinary landscape inspired by one of history's most ominous literary classics, Inferno is Dan Brown's most compelling and thought-provoking novel yet, a breathless race-against-time thriller that will grab you from page one and not let you go until you close the book.
About the Author
Dan Brown is the bestselling author of Digital Fortress, Deception Point, Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code and The Lost Symbol. He is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy, where he has taught English and Creative Writing. He lives in New England.

Comments about Inferno:
This is typical Dan Brown in terms of the themes and places, however I thought that the elements of the main plot - including the twists and turns - all came together too quickly, feeling rushed to me. Also, while I like the historical aspects of the places he visits, I thought that this book more than others seemed to be trying to teach me directly as apart from being interesting background. Overall though, I'm glad I read it and I do await his next work.

About the Book
Her father used to work for the government as a trusted adviser to the dictator, and gained his trust just to help the people in need behind his back. After the government picked up what was happening with the supplies they pinned it all on him, removing him from his family, and killed off, along with whoever he sent supplies too.
The start of the first Crusades.
Because of that event martial law was declared.
To make sure people could not possess contraband, Guards searched every house the fifth of every month.
Alexzais defied the law, just as her father had, doing pretty much everything that carried death as punishment. Seven years later, the routine proceeds as normal until the Guards find something resulting in the death of her mother, and her brother being kidnapped and taken deep into the capitol of Acastus, for torture…
"They'll come, search for something that isn't there and then leave. Just like all the other fifths before."

Hello,Thanks for providing more information.
Well as you describe possible cause may include Cervical spondylosis.
(any condition that puts pressure on the nerves where they leave the spinal column which after passing from neck radiate to arms resulting in radiating pain.)
As you have headache so it can be cervicogenic in origin.
So you should undergo an MRI/X-Ray examination of the cervical spine ( AP and lateral views) and a clinical examination by either Orthopedist or Neurologist for further evaluation and management if your symptoms'll persist more than a week.Do gentle massage with muscle relaxant ointment and apply warm compresses on neck .Also take OTC Motrin.
Physical therapy,neck stretching exercises can be helpful in your case.
Avoid strenuous activities.
I hope this helps.
Please rate me highly (Star 5 Great Service), if you are satisfied with our conversation.
If you have any further query then feel free to ask.
Bonus and positive feedback are highly appreciated.
Good Luck.
Thank you.

Thanasi Kokkinakis has never been in the main draw of a grand slam tournament, and has never seen his first-round opponent play. But the teenager was in Paris last year when his good friend Nick Kyrgios won a last-minute French Open wildcard and his first match there, beating former top 10 player Radek Stepanek in three sets. Kokkinakis expects to be nervous ahead of his own debut this week, but at the same time feels excited about what might be possible.
''The top guys aren't that far away, even by ranking. It looks like they are, but when you step on court and you play with them, we know our levels are pretty high when we're switched on. I think if we play well, we can do all right,'' the 18-year-old said.
''You've got to think every match is winnable, otherwise you have no chance of winning, so that's what I'm going to go in with. I've beaten some good players in the last couple of weeks so that gives me confidence, especially for this first round.
''I'll probably be a little bit nervous coming out, but then I've just got to focus on playing the ball, and play my game.''
While Kokkinakis spent several months last year recovering from stress fractures in his back, Kyrgios made an encouraging start to his open-age career, the French Open an obvious highlight.
He has had a bumpier time leading into his first Australian Open, but did not expect the shoulder injury that forced him out of Brisbane and Sydney to trouble him during this tournament.
The 18-year-old will play German Benjamin Becker, ranked 81, in the opening round on Tuesday, with Kokkinakis to start out against world No.73, the Netherlands' Igor Sijsling. The draw was friendlier to him than to many of the other Australians, if only just: a win would mean facing Rafael Nadal - or Bernard Tomic - in the second round. The third Open debutant, Jordan Thompson, will play the No.20 seed, Poland's Jerry Janowicz, in his first match.
''I've done all the right things in the last couple of weeks,'' said Krygios of his shoulder complaint.
''I've had a lot of experience last year. I played a couple of main draw men's grand slams and I'm sort of accustomed to the experience and how it feels so I'm confident that I'll go out there and I'll perform pretty well.
''It's obviously a great opportunity for both me and Thanasi to be able to play in our first-ever Australian Open main draw. We're both pretty excited. There's a lot of expectation on us and I guess we're just going to go out there, give it 100 per cent, have some fun and see how it goes.
''There's a lot of guys - not only me and Thanasi, but Jordan Thompson is another guy who's been stepping up and taking it to the top guys as well. I think we're more than confident of doing some damage.''
Some important people will be watching.
''The boys have got tough draws here but, you know, I don't think we're without a chance,'' Davis Cup captain Pat Rafter said.
''Especially the young kids coming through. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they deal with the occasion.''
''These kids are our future, as well as with Bernard [Tomic]. If we can get these group of kids coming through now, it will be a very strong nation again.''

CLEVELAND (Nov. 15)
A drive for funds to finance a fight on tuberculosis, typhoid and other epidemic disease in Palestine was launched here last night by the 30th annual Hadassah convention. First step in the extensive health facilities will be erection of a 250-bed tuberculosis hospital in Jerusalem, as part of the Hadassah-Rothschild-University Hospital there.
Prof. Leon Roth, rector of the Hebrew University, told the delegates that it was vitally important that a medical school be founded in the university to meet the post-war needs of Jews in Palestine and in devastated Europe. He predicted that within ten years there will be an acute shortage of doctors in Palestine.

A Chronology
of the Diaconate
33 - Deacon Stephen martyred in Jerusalem.
258 - Deacon Laurence martyred in Rome.
304 - Deacon Vincent of Saragossa martyred in Valencia.
325 - The Council of Nicaea reduced and restricted the work of the order of deacons and elevated the presbyterate. However, most non-parochial clergy (archdeacons, chaplains to princes and bishops, and ecclesiastical administrators) remained in deacon's orders.
451 - The Council of Chalcedon specifically recognized the ordination of women deacons when it lowered the mandatory age for such ordination for women. (Some women continued to be ordained deacons in both the Eastern and Western church, but by the end of the first millennium they were restricted almost entirely to religious communities, i.e. nuns. To this day Roman Catholic Carthusian nuns are ordained deacons when they take their life vows.)
556 - The Cardinal Deacon Pelagius, confidant of the Emperor Justinian, was made the Bishop (Pope) of Rome, per saltum.
790 - Deacon Alcuin of York made head of Charlemange's "Palace School."
1073 - Deacon Hildebrand was made Bishop of Rome, Pope Gregory VII, per saltum.
1198 - Deacon Lothair was made Bishop of Rome, Pope Innocent III, per saltum.
1379 - Deacon Gerhard de Groote founded the Brethren of the Common Life.
1502 - Deacon William Warham was made Archbishop of Canterbury, per saltum.
1524 - The Church of Sweden formally broke its relationship with the Roman Church, but retained the vocational Diaconate which continues in that Church to this day.
1536-1559 - John Calvin's Institutes proposed, and Calvin began to put into effect in Geneva, a restoration of a ministry of service, of the distribution of alms and care of the sick and poor. Ministers of such service were called "deacons." Since then, churches in the Calvinist tradition have usually had "deacons" or "boards of deacons", but they are not considered clergy.
1545 - Deacon Reginald Pole appointed by the Pope as one of the presidents of the Council of Trent (Pole was still a deacon when he was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in 1557.)
1550 - Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, in the first English Ordinal, envisioned the diaconate as a distinct order not necessarily prerequisite to the priesthood.
1562 - The 23rd Session of the Council of Trent recognized Only the transitional diaconate.
1571 - The Puritan Admonition to Parliament repudiated the order of deacons altogether and demanded its abolition. (Richard Hooker refuted this in the "Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity", but did not seriously advance the idea of the vocational diaconate.)
1626 - Nicholas Ferrar, founder of "Little Gidding," was ordained deacon by Archbishop William Laud. There was some effort in the Church of England to continue the vocational diaconate.
1662 - The Ordinal in the Restoration Prayer Book, Church of England, provided only for transitional deacons.
1784 - John Wesley attempted to revive the order of vocational deacons in the Anglican Church by his directions to the American leaders of "The Methodist Society." Later, Methodists sometimes appointed functional deacons and deaconesses, but they were not ordained. Also, Methodists sometimes have used the term "deacon" to refer to one who is in a probationary period before ordination, but they have no true diaconate.
1833 - A Lutheran pastor named Wickner in Germany organized a school for training social workers and youth workers for the slums of the cities. They were called "deacons ".
1836 - German Lutheran Pastor Theodor Fliedner founded the Deaconesses of Kaiserswerth, a group which recruited, trained, and provided nurses, teachers, and other kinds of care-givers for children and the infirm. Within the century sister organizations were founded in Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Cairo. It was the Deaconesses of Kaiserswerth who trained Florence Nightingale.
1852 - William A. Muhlenberg organized a group of Episcopal deaconesses, the Sisterhood of the Holy Communion, who served as nurses in St. Luke's Hospital, NYC.
1855 - Bishop Whittingham of Maryland ordained deaconesses at St. Andrews, Baltimore, to serve destitute women and orphans.
Russian Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna led a movement of restoration of the order of deaconesses in the Russian Orthodox Church.
1860 - The Anglican "Mildmay Deaconesses," a missionary order of teachers and nurses, was founded in London by William Pennefather. Within the year Bishop Tait of London had boldly revived the Order of Deaconesses in the Church of England.
1861 - Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carrol) Fellow of Christ Church, Oxford, was ordained deacon.
1864 - Bishop Richard H. Wilmer of Alabama ordained three deaconesses to teach and care for children orphaned by the Civil War in Tuscaloosa - later these women founded Wilmer Hall for Orphans in Mobile.
1872 - American Deaconess Society founded by Bishop Abram N. Littlejohn of Long Island NY.
1881 - Ordination of David Pendelton Oakerhater, Deacon/Missionary to Native Americans.
1889 - General Convention passed first American canon governing deaconesses (women deacons).
1897 - The Lambeth Conference "recognized with thankfulness" the revival of "the office of deaconess" in the Anglican branch of the Church.
1911 - Greek Bishop Nectarios (Saint Nectarios) revived the order of deaconesses in Greek Orthodox Church.
1920 - The Lambeth Conference mandated the formal and canonical restoration of the vocational diaconate for women, but not for men.
1947 - The constitution of the new Church of South India provided for ordained, permanent, vocational deacons, as well as for probationary or transitional deacons.
1952 - Episcopal Church's canons were revised to allow for the ordination of "permanent", non-transitional deacons, men only.
1964 - Vatican II published Lumen Gentium which advocated the restoration of the vocational diaconate in the Roman Church, but for men only. Later the apostolic letter, Sacrum diaconatus ordinem, implemented this restoration.
1968 - The Lambeth Conference recommended to all the provinces of the Anglican Communion the restoration of the vocational diaconate for men and women.
1970 - Episcopal Church's canons were revised to permit the ordination of both men and women in the vocational diaconate.
1979 - The revised American Book of Common Prayer provided for the ordination of vocational deacons.
1988 - Publication of The Portsmouth Report to the General Synod of the Church of England on "Deacons in the Ministry of the Church".
A statement of advocacy for women in the diaconate was published by the Inter-Orthodox Consultation in Rhodes.

Finally built up the courage to register and start a thread here.
I'm a 2D animation student from the UK, so a lot of what I'll end up uploading will revolve around my current projects and the "notes" I take during classes.
I don't know how often I'll update this thread, but I would like to start a routine and update weekly. I have developed the nasty habit of letting my sketchbook fill up for quite a while before I get around to scanning anything.
I scanned a lot of pages from my sketchbook yesterday, so I guess I could start by uploading some of them to kick this off:

Of course, Kickstarter is not the place for massive projects. "The funding platform and the amount of money we raised there does lead you back towards this kind of game," Weisman agreed. "There's an overlap with the audience that's on Kickstarter. It tends to be an older audience, ones you can afford to take a little risk, and who have an emotional attachment. I think the majority of games that have been funded there to large numbers are people or properties that have an emotional tie to the audience in some way. Certainly that's the case with Double Fine, Wasteland, Shadowrun, the Obsidian guys… these are all examples of that."
Shadowrun Returns was funded far in excess of its goal, but that doesn't mean Harebrained Schemes is rolling in money. "We have 37,000 backers on Shadowrun Returns," Weisman said. "Our hope is that there's a lot more of them than just those 37,000, because if not then we lose the gamble. We've spent every penny and more that they gave us to make the game; we haven't made any money."

Steven Barcomb often drove by the house his wife's family had owned for about 50 years. One day, he noticed that someone was cleaning out the house and had discarded a large box of unlabeled 19th-century photographs. Thinking they were probably abandoned family pictures, he rescued them from the trash. Now, he has to figure out whom these photos depict.
The image pictured here is one of his favorites. He thinks it depicts his wife's great-grandparents David Worden (1826-1915) and Lucretia Hogaboom Worden (1823-1916). Since the young woman's dress, with its full bodice, dates to about 1900, it's possible that he's correct. The young woman in the portrait bears a striking resemblance to the older woman, and is probably her daughter. If that's true, then the younger man could be her husband and the child their daughter. It's a charming portrait of three generations of family. The grandfather's playing a violin tells us that his music was important enough to feature in a family portrait. All of this could have been lost if Barcomb hadn't picked up the box of photographs.
Unfortunately, his experience is not unusual. Everyday family photographs are often thrown out or sold. Make sure that never happens to your precious pictures by taking these steps:
1. Identify your pictures.
Start by using appropriate writing implements. A soft lead, such as a graphite sketching pencil, is best for labeling paper photographs. Contemporary paper prints, however, are on resin-coated paper that makes them difficult to write on unless you use a special pen. Look for ink that's waterproof, fade resistant, permanent, odorless (when dry) and quick drying. Choose black ink because colored inks tend to fade over time. You can find photo-safe pens and pencils in most art-supply and scrapbook stores.
On the back of the image, write the full name and life dates of each person pictured. Even if you know only a surname, write it on the back of the photo. To learn more about labeling pictures, read my Photo Detective column in the October 2003 Family Tree Magazine.
2. Collect your family's "unwanted" photos.
Growing up, I heard all about a distant cousin who asked lots of questions about family. I'll admit that my parents counseled me about visiting this "odd" relative. When I finally met him, it turned out he was the self-appointed family historian. His questions were attempts to track down material. If it weren't for him, lots of genealogical data would have been lost. Unfortunately, he didn't collect the photographs. Still, you can learn from his methods and broadcast your desire to receive "unwanted" family pictures. This might require repeated attempts, but eventually you'll succeed. You might even have to tactfully contact relatives after the loss of a family member to remind them that you want the pictures and documents. All this effort will be worth it. A couple of my friends have been doing this for years, and now own pictures of many of the branches on their family tree.
Don't wait for a chance encounter. Steven Barcomb had no idea those pictures were in that house. Even though he hasn't solved the picture mysteries in that box yet, this one identification will bring him closer. An unidentified photograph doesn't have to remain that way forever if you follow the clues present in the image. But first you have to save them.

EPA Seeks To End Use Of Additive In Gasoline
Michael Johnsen
The Clinton administration yesterday announced a proposal to phase out a widely used gasoline additive that has significantly reduced air pollution from cars and trucks but has inadvertently contaminated much of the nation's drinking water supply.
The move aims to reduce or eliminate the use of methyl tertiary butyl ether, or MTBE. The chemical is added to about one-third of the nation's gasoline supply, especially in smoggy areas, to cut emissions of carbon monoxide and airborne toxins and to reduce levels of lung-damaging atmospheric ozone. When ingested, however, MTBE is considered a possible cause of cancer, and it has been showing up in many wells and other sources of fresh water since federal clean air legislation made it a popular fuel additive a decade ago.
"MTBE is a problem that must be addressed. If we delay too long, the problem will become worse," said Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Carol M. Browner at a news conference with Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman. "Americans deserve both clean air and clean water, and never one at the expense of the other."
Many scientists and legislators already agree that MTBE must go, but the administration's proposed approach to doing so is by no means assured of success. That's because the Clinton plan explicitly calls, as a substitute for MTBE, for increased use of ethanol and other agriculturally based fuel additives, made mostly from corn. That has rekindled a simmering political, economic and scientific battle over biofuel's place in the nation's energy program.
Some scientists have questioned ethanol's usefulness as a pollution reducer, while others question the wisdom of burning large quantities of ethanol, the kind of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages.
Almost all studies of ethanol's health effects have focused on what happens when people drink it, they note, not when they breathe it.
"Ethanol, when combusted, forms formaldehyde and other byproducts which pose potential public health threats," said Patricio Silva of the Natural Resources Defense Council, a Washington environmental group that generally supports the EPA's move but is wary of a sudden reliance on ethanol.
Politics may pose an even larger obstacle to the administration's plan. President Clinton has long supported the fledgling ethanol and biofuels industry, a position that has won him strong backing from corn-growing states over the years and that prompted praise yesterday from Corn Belt Sens. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.).
That led some in Congress to complain yesterday that the plan was designed to benefit Vice President Gore's standing in the Midwest as he heads into this fall's race for the presidency.
"This is so transparently political," said Eric Wohlschlegel, a spokesman for the House Commerce Committee chaired by Rep. Thomas J. Bliley Jr. (R-Va.), who has held several hearings on MTBE. "The EPA administrator should spend more time creating good public policy than playing campaign manager to Al Gore."
Browner countered that the agency's actions were based on sound science and public health considerations. "Far too many communities are experiencing levels of MTBE in their drinking water," she said in an interview. "This is not the time to engage in partisan politics."
MTBE has come into vastly increased use in gasoline since the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990 required the creation of a "reformulated fuel" program. That program requires refineries to increase the oxygen levels in gasoline, which reduces toxic emissions that can themselves cause cancer or get converted into ozone, which can cause permanent lung damage. MTBE is today the oxygenator of choice in about 85 percent of the nation's reformulated fuel.
But in recent years, it became increasingly clear that many underground storage tanks were leaking MTBE, which, unlike many other fuel-related chemicals, tends to move easily through soil and quickly enters ground water supplies. Accidental spills--and small leaks from older boat engines into lakes--also have contributed to the problem.
Most of the major contamination sites found to date are in California, which has already moved to ban MTBE. But as many as 9,000 community water wells in 31 states may be contaminated from an estimated 250,000 leaking tanks, according to a new study by researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey and the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology in Portland, which will be published in the May 1 issue of the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
Earlier this year, Maryland officials reported that MTBE was found in 66 of 1,060 public water systems tested, and in more than 200 private wells. In 1998, two town wells in Purcellville, Va., were found to be contaminated with MTBE.
Most affected water sources are contaminated at levels below those deemed dangerous by federal officials. But because the chemical tastes and smells so foul even at vanishingly low concentrations, many of these water sources have had to be abandoned.
Browner yesterday outlined a two-pronged plan to "eliminate or significantly reduce" MTBE use.
First she called upon Congress to amend the Clean Air Act to reduce or eliminate MTBE while ensuring that hard-won air quality gains are not lost. Specifically, she asked Congress to promote the growth of renewable fuels and additives, "particularly ethanol."
Significantly, the proposal drops the old law's requirement to boost oxygenate levels in gasoline to the 2 percent level, substituting instead a requirement that fuel contain a certain amount of renewable fuel.
The petroleum industry, which claims it is already making cleaner fuel, is opposed to such a system, which in its view simply substitutes one mandate for another.
"Now is not the time to rush into a new fuels mandate," said oil-state Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.).
As a "backstop" strategy, Browner said, the EPA would try to use the Toxic Substances Control Act to regulate MTBE out of the fuel supply. But that approach poses several difficult legal problems, she said, and would no doubt take longer than a prompt legislative response.

GO International Jovovich Hawk Images 2008
4 Recommendations
AGD's recommendation
I have been so excited for this all year: Jovovich Hawk's line for Target!! These Go International lines are always hit-or-miss, but this one sure looks like a hit. The pieces are varied, from dress-up to dress-down, from night to day. Hopefully the quality is as good as the Proenza Schouler line a while back. I'm so excited for the line to go on sale! But I'll have to just salivate over these press images for now.
My Collections:
ShannonLee's recommendation
I just bought one of the dresses today, very cute, and very affordable!
margarite_elaine's recommendation
I work in an extremely style conscious environment and I've been searching for affordable ways to look fantastic. With Jovovich Hawk's new line for Target, most of the pieces are under $40 plus they are super stylish and a great way to add fun pieces to my wardrobe. I'm planning a trip to Target this weekend to snag my favorites!

Two youths nabbed in Jeannette for Arnold carjacking
Three youths carjacked an Arnold woman's car at gunpoint Monday morning, Arnold police said.
Two suspects were arrested within an hour. The woman was not hurt, according to police.
The handgun, police said, turned out to be a pellet gun.The woman's maroon Volvo was spotted by a Jeannette police officer about 45 minutes after the carjacking.
After a chase, two suspects were arrested. A third youth ran, and police are looking for him.
Arnold police Chief Willie Weber said the incident unfolded while a woman was unloading her car in the 1500 block of Fifth Avenue about 10:15 a.m.
"They walked up to her and said they wanted the car," Weber said. "They showed her a gun, and she wisely gave them the keys. She wasn't harmed."
The woman called police and, within minutes, police sent an alert to other police departments.
"A Jeannette officer spotted the car and read the license plate," Weber said. "It was the car we were looking for."
The weapon found turned out to be a pellet gun that looked like a real gun, Weber said.
The two youths — one from Arnold, the other from Jeannette — are 16 and 17. They will be charged as juveniles for armed robbery, Weber said.Jeannette police didn't return calls for comment.

After all was said and done, 4 people were arrested. The 3 "protesters" arrested in this video? Nope. They weren't arrested and the Mounties don't seem to know anything about them.
Update: Canadian Police HAVE admitted that the three instigators were actually undercover police. They still deny that they were there to instigate violence. Why did the peaceful, undercover have a rock in his hand?
Update 2: According to a press release, the Quebec police say the cops were located by the mob when they (the undercover cops) refused to launch projectiles(here is the original french version). Watch the video to see the truth.

Hilarious Super Mario Bros rip off by PETA08/22/07
Kentucky Fried Cruelty is a delicious way to waste time during your day. I stopped going to KFC years ago. Not because of how they treat the chickens, but because their food tastes like shit. If anything, they should be MORE cruel if it will help the taste.
Be sure to check the price at the pump...not just the sign on the road08/22/07
In North Platte, Ogallala, and Lexington, Nebraska, gas stations are advertising one rate on their street signs but only 1 or 2 of the pumps actually pump at that rate. All the others pump at rates $.25 to $.50 a gallon more expensive. According to state officials, it is perfectly legal.

Foul balls = HOME RUN!08/07/07
A local father has a problem. His new, hot neighbor likes to sun bath topless. When his boys hit foul balls into her yard, she lets them come over and get the balls and sometimes lets them put lotion on her back. What is he to do? I say, make the boys tell the father every time they hit a ball into her yard and let the DAD fetch the ball and put lotion on her back.

North Carolina police flip-flop on Constitution violations08/06/07
Remember last week's article about North Carolina deputy, Brian Scarborough, who violated a couple of Constitutional admendments by arresting a guy after he desecrated the US flag? Yeah well...blogs like mine and Fark and Digg and Boingboing exerted enough "social guilting" that they withdrew all charges. OR it could have been the fact that all their charges were derived from them violating the Constitution and the Supreme Court or something like that.

Does anyone remember all those voting scandals in Ohio back in the 2004 presidential election? Well, it turns out that over half of the votes cast were "accidentally" destroyed in violation of a court order. Hello people! Our whole way of life is based on trusted voter counts! Let me repeat myself once again and say that any voter shenanigans should result in SEVERE penalties (life in prison?).

Nice Guy paradox - solved08/02/07
After many, many years of frustration, one man has figured out the bullshit behind the paradox that while girls say they like nice guys, they very rarely will date them. It's on the same line that while girls say they like funny guys, they actually just think that what hot guys says is funny and then just lie to themselves (and others).
