Reviews for Magnesium sulfate
Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate) for : "Its an awesome medicine. Gives pure relief in the systems internally. No side effects since I have been taking it."

For Seizure Prevention: "I was treated intravenously for postpartum preeclampsia 6 days after delivery. I was sent to the hospital for high blood pressure and stayed for 2 days. It took a couple of hours before I felt the effects of the magnesium drip. the nurse said I would feel like I had the flu. I felt much worse! and no one said that I shouldn't be feeling these effects... The most disturbing was, after each hour of the drip, I kept feeling less and less muscle movement. I was getting slowly paralyzed. Not to mention the face flushing and nausea. After 14 hours, I was hardly able to do anything at all, even lift my arms or legs or speak! Im glad the doctor shut off the drip after 16 hours. I wouldn't have been able to communicate at all. Anyone else?"

I recently read that a habit of great people is that they spend some time everyday contemplating their models of greatness, so every week I am going to share with you the person that will be the subject of my contemplation. Perhaps when we fill our thoughts with courage and not the stories we see on the news we will have less anxiety. Perhaps we will feel more hope for mankind.
Viktor Frankl psychiatrist and holocaust survivor said, "when we are no longer able to change a situation–we are only then challenged to change ourselves."
This week I will think about Immaculee Ilibagiza. I will contemplate forgiveness, faith, the ability to change ourselves and the perfect example this young woman offers.
Immaculee was a college student in Rwanda where she studied electronical and mechanical engineering. She came home for the Spring break and walked into a nightmare. There was an ethnic war between the Tutsi and Hutu tribes, Immaculee was a Tutsi. A Pastor hid Immacuee and 7 other woman in a bathroom that was 4 feet long and 3 feet wide. There was a shower at one end and a toilet at the other and a small air vent near the ceiling but there was not enough room for a sink. The women knew they had to remain silent or they would be killed and everyday they heard people they knew threatening to kill all the "cockroach Tutsis" looking for them by name. The genocide lasted for three months and killed almost 1.000.000 Rwandans. While neighbors hunted her with machetes, Immaculee used the French/English dictionary and an English Bible to learn English. When they came out of the bathroom after 91 days they had lost their families, homes, money, nearly everything thought of as important . The rest of this story is: Immaculee forgave the people who destroyed her family and the life she knew. She lived her faith and walked her talk. I will think about Immaculees and remember when I can't change a situation I will work to change myself and become stronger and braver, walking in faith not fear.
If you have an interest in learning more about Immaculees story of horror, faith and forgiveness her book, "Left to Tell".
"But I came to learn that God never shows us something we aren't ready to understand. Instead, He lets us see what we need to see, when we need to see it. He'll wait until our eyes and hearts are open to Him, and then when we're ready, He will plant our feet on the path that's best for us…but it's up to us to do the walking.
__________Immaculee Ilibagiza, Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust

Talks Continue On Downtown Hole
Cheyenne Mayor Rick Kaysen says negotiations are continuing between the city and the Kansas company which owns 2/3 of the property on Lincolnway commonly referred to as "the hole". The city already owns 1/3 of the property, and would like to purchase the remainder to allow for either the development of the property or it's re-sale. The property, which once was the site of a bakery that was destroyed by a fire, is widely considered an eyesore in it's current state. Kaysen says he is hopeful negotiations for the purchase can be wrapped up in the next couple of months or so, although he adds that timetable "is not definitive".

OK, so the Cowboys failed to reach the NFC title game this year. You thought they were primed to make a run. You thought that, perhaps, the team would not only finally win a playoff game, but use that momentum to carry them to Miami and perhaps another Lombardi Trophy. But that didn't happen. So the question for you now is, were you happy with this? Was this Cowboys season a success?
Well, success is something that is measured arbitrarily, of course. Some of you may consider anything less than the Super Bowl a failure. A fair point, given how regularly this team won titles a decade ago. Others may consider that playoff win a big step. Jerry may look at the bajillion dollars he made this year and conclude that yes, that was a nice season. It's all quite subjective. But what is not subjective is this: The Cowboys beat most every preseason expectation experts made for them. To wit:
-Only three of 16 ESPN experts chose Dallas to win the NFC East. Dallas won the division.
-Las Vegas' futures betting had the Cowboys at 9.5 wins for the year. Dallas finished over that total.
-Invaluable Web site Kottke.org made a composite ranking of teams' preseason assessments, tallied from the predictions of ESPN, Yahoo, The Sporting News, Las Vegas, USA Today, SI, FOX Sports, and CBS. Taken together, the Cowboys ranked 14th among all teams before the season began. They end this year ranked 6th.
So if you consider success defined as exceeding expectations, and considerably so, there's only one way to view this Cowboys season in light of Sunday's disappointing loss at Minnesota: Job well done.
But if they don't win it all next year, you're free to burn the city down.

I just had my first hearing dealing with an application to strike out Points of Dispute and have the Bill assessed as drawn due to an alleged failure to comply with PD 47 para.8.3: "The paying party must state in an open letter accompanying the points of dispute what sum, if any, that party offers to pay in settlement of the total costs claimed. The paying party may also make an offer under Part 36." I've previously commented on how I consider these applications to be misconceived, at least if they are argued properly by the paying party. The application notice argued: "the Defendant has failed to make an open offer of settlement in accordance with Paragraph 8.3 of the Practice Direction to CPR Part 47.9. … The provision is a must provision and there is no discretion for the Defendant as to whether or not an open offer is made" The Claimant's Skeleton Argument continued in a similar vein: "the Defendant served Points of Dispute without an open offer of settlement in breach of section 8.3 of the Practice Direction 47. … Contrary to the rule, the Defendant served Points of Dispute without an open offer of settlement… Section 8.3 is obligatory. The paying party 'must' provide the open offer". Whatever the other merits of the application might have been, it was brought on the basis that there is an absolute requirement to make an open offer when serving Points of Dispute. No such duty exists: note the words "if any". The Points of Dispute here had been served under cover of an open letter stating: "We are awaiting instructions and will put forward an offer as soon as possible" The judge accepted that this amounted to strict compliance with the Practice Direction. It set out in an open letter what offer, if any, was being made at that point: none. There was therefore no breach and the application was dismissed. Barrister Sarah Robson reported on another similar unsuccessful application, made by the same firm, in the comments section of a previous post on this topic. I would be interested to hear the outcome of any similar applications, particularly where the point has been argued...Read More
The Association of Costs Lawyers often used to have an examination question along the lines of: "There is no point in a receiving party making an offer to settle in detailed assessment proceedings. Discuss." The reasoning behind the question is that receiving parties currently have a presumption in their favour that they will be awarded their detailed assessment costs. Unless and until the paying party makes an offer that puts them at risk they can carry on regardless. If a receiving party does make a successful offer (usually by way of Part 47.19) there is no bonus (eg by way of enhanced interest or costs on the indemnity basis)) for making such an offer. All that is likely to happen is that the receiving party will be awarded their assessment costs; which is no more than the general presumption allows for in any event. From 1 April 2013, Part 47.19 offers, as they now are, go. Part 36 will then apply. I have already written about one of the problems this creates and there are others. Nonetheless, Part 36 is here to stay. The wording of Part 36 is changed slightly (eg "receiving party" substituted for "claimant"), but with the amended wording this is the position where a paying party makes a successful Part 36 after 1 April 2013 and that offer is not beaten at assessment: "Costs consequences following detailed assessment 36.14 (1) This rule applies where upon completion of the detailed assessment – (a) a receiving party fails to obtain an outcome more advantageous than a paying party's Part 36 offer; … … (2) … the court will, unless it considers it unjust to do so, order that the receiving party is entitled to – (a) his costs from the date on which the relevant period expired; and (b) interest on those costs." Subparagraph (a) is much the same as one would expect now (although "from the date on which the relevant period expired" may be worse than now where a successful offer may result in all detailed assessment costs being awarded to the Defendant). The only benefit to the current position is interest on those costs. This is likely to be of little extra incentive. On...Read More
One of the inherent difficulties when advising defendants in relation to cost disputes is the difficult question of determining which points are worth taking and which ones are not. One costs judge's technical dispute wholly lacking in merit is another costs judges perfectly proper challenge that will meet with success. For example, where there has been a failure to serve the proper statements/risk assessments in support of a success fee or a fully compliant ATE certificate, some costs judges will happily grant relief from sanctions even where the application is not made until the middle of the detailed assessment hearing itself, and only made orally without any evidence in support (notwithstanding the fact the dispute was raised many months in advance); whereas other costs judges will invariably disallow the additional liabilities in the absence of an early formal application properly supported by evidence. The unpredictability of the process is made worse by the equally unpredictable approach adopted by opponents. Although it comes as no surprise when they fail to make any concessions to disputes raised, sometimes regardless of the strength of the dispute, there are others who will make voluntary concessions that certainly go way beyond what it is probable a court will disallow, even if not impossible. The difficulty is therefore whether to plead every available point, regardless of how speculative in nature, on the off-chance that it might possibly be successful, or whether to limit one's disputes to those that are most likely to succeed. The former approach runs the risk of escalating the detailed assessment costs, and annoying some costs judges; the latter approach runs the risk that potential costs savings are not maximised. Obviously, in large part this comes down to a question of judgement based on experience. But, again, the difficulty is that experience shows the inherent unpredictability of the whole...Read More
This year's White Paper Conference Company costs conference on Costs, Funding, CFAs and Jackson was such a success it was repeated twice and sold out on both occasions almost immediately. (That's what you get when you promote a costs event via the Legal Costs Blog.) One of the speakers, Michael Kain from costs firm Kain Knight, talking about costs budgeting, warned the delegates to "Be afraid…Be very afraid". This warning was in large part no doubt aimed at the costs professionals attending as he predicted that costs budgeting would largely mean an end to detailed assessments. Specialist costs counsel Jeremy Morgan QC has made similar predictions where costs management is applied, suggesting it is "hard to see any room for arguments on proportionality, hourly rates or the reasonableness of the work done". With an end to recovery of additional liabilities around the corner, that doesn't leave much left. HH Judge Simon Brown QC, the judge responsible for one of the current costs budgeting pilots, writing in the New Law Journal, stated: "if the budget of the receiving party is approved, then its costs are likely to be paid in full without delay or further later assessment at the end of the case." Although those involved in running the costs management/budgeting pilots have been keen to emphasise that it is not meant to be the equivalent of costs capping or performing a pre-emptive detailed assessment, it is difficult to see much scope for detailed assessment where the costs come in on budget. Where the budget is exceeded, the rules as currently drafted provide that any judge assessing costs will not depart from such approved budget unless satisfied that there is good reason to do so. And, as HH Judge Simon Brown QC notes, where detailed assessment is required because of inaccurate estimating: "the expense of that process [is] likely to be upon the defaulting receiving party". Perhaps most chillingly, he concluded: "The days of putting in a bill at the end of a case based on a multiple of billable hours x £x per hour and expecting to be paid are over." Whichever way the issue is viewed, the importance of accurately setting budgets cannot be...Read More
One of the controversial forthcoming changes to the CPR concerning detailed assessment proceedings is to scrap the current CPR 47.18 and 47.19, concerning liability for detailed assessment costs, and substitute these with: "47.18 (1) The general rules about costs contained in Parts 36, 43 and 44 apply to the costs of detailed assessment proceedings, as if "claimant" means receiving party and "defendant" means paying party. (2) The court will summarily assess the costs of detailed assessment proceedings at the conclusion of those proceedings, unless otherwise ordered. 47.19 Unless the court otherwise orders, interest on the costs of detailed assessment proceedings shall run from the date of the default, interim or final costs certificate, as the case may be." Now, I, along with other members of the Association of Costs Lawyers, must have missed the consultation document that went out when these changes were first proposed. If I had seen it (and surely they didn't just press ahead without bothering to consult those people who will have to work with this) there would have been a long list of problems pointed out. However, putting to one side some of the theoretical problems, there is one rather glaring practical difficulty. The Statement of Rights, which governs the rights of a Costs Lawyer holding a current practising certificate, says it covers: "Rights of audience in all proceedings being conducted under Parts 43-48 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1999 ("CPR") and under Part 52 of those rules with regard to appeals from detailed assessment hearings before a High Court Judge or a Circuit Judge such rights to exclude an issue of entitlement to costs under CPR 44.3 and entitlement to a wasted costs order arising solely under CPR 44.14(1)(b) or CPR 48.7 other than in connection with proceedings commence [sic] under (vi) and (vii) below." So, it expressly excludes rights of audience as to "an issue of entitlement to costs under CPR 44.3". (We'll ignore for the moment that there is no obvious good reason for such a general exclusion.) The new rule change means that Part 44.3 will apply to liability for costs of detailed assessment proceedings but a Costs Lawyer, who otherwise has rights of audience in such proceedings, will not...Read More
Forthcoming change to CPR 47.14: "(8) If an assessment is carried out at more than one hearing, then for the purposes of rule 52.4 time for appealing shall not start to run until the conclusion of the final hearing, unless the court orders otherwise." Sensible. It currently runs from the date of the judgment on the particular issue, which can make a decision as to whether to immediately appeal more difficult. It is only at the end of a detailed assessment one has a full picture. For example, a party may want to appeal a specific point if it will make the difference between winning or losing on an offer but otherwise would be prepared to let the decision stand. In fact, many costs judges already make such an order staying the time for appealing where the issue arises, but it does need someone to remember the...Read More

sigh. I do love my country, but greatest? Can't we just say that America is a great country and not just assume its the greatest? There's some countries that do some things better than we do, we just need to admit that we're not the best, but that we are still a great country and focus on our strengths in the world community. Attitude like this is part of the reason we act the way we do in the world community.

I only own one of the papers in this set, the paper on the upper left-hand side of the picture, with the sparkly words. It's called Princess Majestic Words, DPP013. It's gorgeous! The sparkles outlining the images and words are dark green (almost or mostly black), and, there are adorable images of crowns and heels with bling, and, I really love what someone has done with the paper in creating a layout for a Pink Pirate Birthday theme. I will be using the paper for a layout of our female dog, who is "Daddy's Little Princess."

I just wanted to bring this up since we often discuss which themes Disney should decorate their resort rooms with. There is a big theme park in the Netherlands called Efteling. Basically, its a Disney-quality theme park but is independently owned. It started a while ago with a fairy tale theme.
Well I was checking out their themed suites page, and I was blown away by all the kinds they have. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Flying Dutchman, Hansel & Gretel, Coca-Cola, Snow White, and more. The list is kind of long. Check it out here: http://www.efteling.nl/Page.aspx?PageId=16...mp;LanguageId=2
None of the suites compare to the technology-driven Cinderella's Suite in the castle, but its interesting how much can be done with some simple decorating. Looking at the list, I'm torn between Snow White or the Flying Dutchman rooms. What do you think?

How the Europeans theme hotel rooms. Dang!

Wow! They are amazing. I want to stay there, I can't imagine how my kids would react to seeing some of them. I didn't even look at the prices though LOL
Posted 04 January 2009 - 01:59 PM
Looked it up and the prices for the themed rooms vary between 225-300 EUROS per night. With today's exchange rate, that would make them about $352-414 (depending on specific room and date) per night. Its steep, but that's about the same as an Grand Floridian room.
Posted 08 January 2009 - 08:57 AM
Wow those are nice.
Posted 08 January 2009 - 10:03 AM
WOW!!! even the 360 pics are amazing. I scrolled up to look at the ceiling of one suite & the carpet of another! While I like some of the themes better than others, all are very well done!

· Our Desperate Press Release of the Week Award, meanwhile, goes to the St John Ambulance service for a timely effort titled Going Potter-Potty Safely. Ahead of the big night on Friday, this explains not only exactly how to treat common "Harry Potter party injuries" such as hyperventilation, nosebleeds, paper cuts and, um, vomiting after too many sweets, but also how to deal with selected first aid dilemmas featured in the novels themselves, including "migraine, unconsciousness, broken bones, cracked skull, poisoning and dragon bite". Smart work.
· Say what you like about Mr Gary Bushell's upstanding English Democrats (slogan: "Not left, not right, just English"), they certainly know their England. Picked out of a recycling bin in election-crazy Ealing Southall on Tuesday night, an English Democrats leaflet featuring "a message to the voters of Sedgefield". Bless.
· Yesterday, we see, was the 89th birthday of Nelson Mandela. A day, then, to celebrate a truly great man. A man who has fought and suffered for his people, despite years of oppression. A man loved, nay venerated, the world over for his immense, all but superhuman capacity for forgiveness and compassion. We refer, of course, to this column's second-favourite rightwing columnist, Mr Simon Heffer, who was 47 yesterday. So jolly well done to him.
· D'you suppose the boy Miliband, our frugal new tube-taking foreign sec, will match the munificence of his predecessor now she's left to spend more time in her caravan? According to a first-class written answer from Kim Howells MP at the FCO, the full £6,000 costs of a reception last month "held to mark the departure of Lord Levy" were met from Madge Beckett's entertainment budget. St Tony's multimillionaire bagman-in-chief and quaintly coiffed mid-East envoy, it seems, "did not contribute" at all. Fancy.
· We commend to you all, courtesy of alert reader David Wyke, the excellent website www.backwoodsbound.com, which has recipes for, among others, BBQ Squirrel, Cajun Squirrel, Chicken Fried Squirrel, Daddy's Squirrel Stew, Mesquite Squirrel, Simple Roast Squirrel, Smother-Fried Squirrel, Squirrel Cacciatore, Squirrel Casserole, Squirrels in Cream Sauce, Squirrel Creole, Squirrel Croquettes, Squirrel Dumplings, Squirrel Jambalaya, Squirrel and Noodles, Squirrel Nuggets, Squirrel Spit and Squirrel Stew.
· "I am passionate about my independence," Baron Jones of Birmingham, our popular new trade minister, told this paper last January, when he was still plain Sir Diggers. "I think I can make more of a difference that way," he continued, explaining that he had waived his fee on becoming the government's skills envoy because he was so determined to retain the freedom to criticise it: "I said I did not want to come inside the tent, and I didn't want paying." Such admirable consistency!
· Our Headline of the Week So Far, suggests alert reader Andy Bushby, should be the one in our very own paper, which reads Brown Flies Out to Meet Merkel and Will See Bush Later. Though why that's funny we obviously have no idea.
· Our thanks, finally, to the many dozens of alert readers who sent us the intriguing one about some apparently helpful squirrels unearthing a number of priceless 8,000 - 10,000-year-old artefacts from a protected Native American site in Placer County, California, where humans are not allowed to dig. Do not be fooled. They are up to something

My mb is: ga-m52l-s3 and the proc AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 3600+
I successful installed iATKOS S3 v2.
When I am trying to boot to SL from hdd after a while the pc reset itself.
I can boot only with the DVD inside and with: rd=disk0s2 -x
I hopped that the 10.6.4 legacy kernel will solve the issue (I don't know if this is a stupid thing) so from the safe mode I made the update to 10.6.4 using the combo update and after that I run the legacy pck. The update was done but still can't boot from hdd.
I don't know what should I try. Does anybody know what is the issue? Should I try this: http://www.insanelym...p..._post&f=211 or this http://www.insanelym...howtopic=225766 ?

text: Hi, This has no doubt been asked before, but I've searched the forum and can't see a straight answer. It's true the allroad is a hell of a car, but I live at the back of a farm, and when the track I have to drive on (30 degree incline) to get to our house gets a snow covering in winter, or when I'm towing my bike trailor with two motocross bikes to a enduro event usually in a farmers field, the pirelli p6 allroad tyres let the car down badly. I know these tyres are road tyres, but no-one seems to be able to suggest or offer an off road tyre. Is there a off road tyre I can fit to a spare set of wheels so I can switch them over accordingly? I don't want a compromise tyre. Rick

Bat For Lashes
Barbarian, KO
Old National Centre
502 North New Jersey St
Indianapolis, IN, 46204
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is all ages
Watch & Listen
"I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broadways i will seek him whom my soul
loveth: I sought him, but found him not. The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said,
Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?" -- Song of Solomon 3:2,3
Brighton, England's Bat For Lashes is set to release her highly-anticipated sophomore album, Two Suns, on April 6th , 2009. Two Suns is the follow-up to Natasha Khan's critically-acclaimed debut, Fur and Gold.
Fur and Gold's July 2007 release heralded Natasha Khan as an astoundingly bright new voice in the
music world. Her album was nominated for England's prestigious Mercury Prize in 2007, in addition to
garnering her two Brit Award nominations in early 2008, and received high praise from the likes of Spin,
Blender, Rolling Stone, the New York Times and more. England's The Guardian named Natasha one of
2007's Women of the Year, a list which also included Hilary Clinton and Anita Roddick, and Radiohead
personally asked Bat for Lashes to support them on their UK/European tour last summer. And in
between all of these incredible accolades, Natasha tucked herself away into various studios around the
globe to begin work on her newest creation, a collection of eleven brilliant songs that see her stretching
the limits of her own imagination and plunging to the depths of her own consciousness to make sense of
herself and how she relates to the world around her.
If Fur and Gold set Natasha on her journey, Two Suns is the middle of her travels, a record of modern-
day fables exploring dualities on a number of levels - two lovers, two planets, two sides of a personality.
Recorded all over the world, from the stark landscape of Big Sur and Joshua Tree in California, to the city
sprawls of New York and London, to the serenity of Brighton and Wales, it is an album of epic
geographical and artistic scope. Envisioning herself as two separate yet ultimately attached beings, Khan
introduces the inner character of Pearl, a destructive, self-absorbed, blonde, femme fatale of a persona
who acts as a direct foil to Khan's more mystical, desert-born spiritual self. The songs on the album
unfold the story of these two sides of the same coin, as they intertwine and overflow into each other's
worlds, reconciling their differences and their needs. Using classic story-telling imagery and magical
realism within its narratives, Two Suns digs deeply into the philosophy of the self and duality, examining
the need for both chaos and balance, for both love and pain, in addition to touching on metaphysical
ideas concerning the connections between all existence.
Co-produced by Natasha and Dave Kosten, with whom she worked on Fur and Gold, Two Suns further
enhances this idea of dualities in its music, mixing autoharps with intense electronics, complex drum
rhythms with lush keyboards and strings. The album features guest turns from the legendary Scott
Walker (on album closer "The Big Sleep"), Brooklyn psychrockers Yeasayer, and her own band The Blue
Dreams (who toured with her this summer) on several tracks, but Khan herself worked the majority of
the musical magic, playing pianos, synths, guitar, bass, drums, beat programming and more. And then,
of course, there's Natasha's illuminating voice as the core of every song, sounding bolder, fuller and
more impressive than ever before.
Opener "Glass," whose first lines are taken from the love poem "Song of Solomon," sets the tone for the
album's exploration of two's, describing two archetypal lovers coming together and pulling apart against
dark, pulsing drums and crystalline bells. "Sleep Alone" details the sickly, lonely quiet that comes after
trouble, while "Moon and Moon," a live favorite from the Fur and Gold tour, laments a lover's distance
and the struggle to return. First single "Daniel" is hazy, wistful and nostalgic, mixing dreamy keyboards
with Cocteau Twins-esque drums to give us one of Two Suns' finest choruses, and "Siren Song"
introduces the conflicting whims of Pearl, the music expressing both her desire for closeness, and her
vested interest in destruction. "Good Love" sounds as if it's come from a waking dream, the organs
burning slowly against Natasha's languid vocals and half-awake hand claps, while "Two Planets" could be the album's defining moment, moved by intense, circular rhythms, and dancing with moon-lit, keyboard
droplets. Closing track "The Big Sleep," creaking with a ghostly piano and Scott Walker's emotive
delivery, folds Natasha's spiritual self together with Pearl, confronting the end of the illusory world and
preparing herself for wherever the world will take her next...
"Barbarian hits your ears with warm surf pop fuzz, '80 post punk and goth pop, and a hint of '60s garage rock. The combination of styles create a truly unique sound that I have never heard anything quite like before…" -TheRecordStache

Who's seen any? Besides 'Double Rainboom'.
I'm still looking around for them. Even better, has anyone made a video of a fanfiction?
Have you seen Snowdrop? How about derpy's toy? Or maybe even some pmv's?
(please don't hurt me)
1416068 I'd be interested in getting into making videos with my background being in production. But I haven't found many opportunities so I write fanfiction while looking for the chance.
It'd be interesting to see, to say the least.
Being able to watch proper movie-length fanfiction videos would be utterly awesome.
Getting voice actors, though... That might prove a challenge.
I might start a new project on Source Filmmaker where a detective and a pony (Spitfire) to investigate a case in Japan.
Not sure if its fanmade, but its worth a shot.
I don't think that there's anybody out there willing to make movie length fanfic videos. People just don't have the time or the patience to animate a video that long. Consider it takes many animators months to put out five minutes of animation, all done in their free time. The only reasons Double Rainboom didn't take forever to put up was because they had teams of animators and they were working mostly with memes.
They're everywhere. Fluffle Puff's videos, Snowdrop (meh), Children of the Night (meh), endless amounts of PMVs (both bad and so very good), abridged series (Mentally Advanced, Friendship is Witchcraft), Rainbow Dash Presents, EQUESTRIA GIRLS (that one poorly made but funny parody, I mean). That's all I got for now.
1416065 here are some to look for
Snow Drop
Luna's General Work Day
Children of the Night
Luna's Cutie Mark
A Day at the Dentist
The Doctor and his Assistant
The Mentally Advanced Series
Friendship is Witchcraft
Rainbow Dash Presents
You can also subscribe to Jhaller's YouTube channel. He does a monthly top 10 count down of all the Brony made videos each month.
1416065 There are some nice shorts out there, but none as long as "Double Rainboom". Actually there should be dozens out by now. Have you seen Epic Wub Time?
1416090 That's not the biggest problem at all. There are complete episodes with own voice actors (Friendship is Witchcraft) and other readings of comics and such. The usual problem seems to be the animation.
How come you've missed them all? Don't you ever look around Youtube?
No, I don't look around on YouTube a lot, to be honest. But whenever I put any sort of keyword that would relate to a 'fanmade' 'my little pony'/'mlp' I get nothing.
1416269 That's because none of them have that in the description, as you usually find them via related videos and can already tell then that it's a fanmade video.
Aside from the mentioned videos, there is also a "Top Ten Pony videos" released every month. Here, here, and here, for example. But you should really watch Epic Wub Time first - see above! It's the best fanmade video I know.
For more videos just click on a related video at the end.
1416130 I've actually been trying (not movie-length, mostly one-shots). I just don't have a computer powerful enough to run Flash yet. (This bucking thing crashes when I open my Folders)
Got to deviantArt and search mlp animations. There are DOZENS!
Specifically, have you seen the "DVNO" animation? One of my all time favorites! :D
This probably isn't the fan-made that you're requesting but these are some of my fav PMVs and such
Village of the Dead
Wild Pinkie Appears
There is also all of the re-enactments by ponies, namely Star Wars, LOTR, Pokemon.
Two best sisters play is awesome too!
Ah, the thing with trying to make videos with windows is it's actually not formatted to run creation software optimally. Macs run the software better. There are some programs that run better on windows but most are formatted for mac.
1440324 So I've been told. But too much at once going on right now. Can't really afford a Mac on a Subway salary at the moment (I just graduated high school and haven't gotten a REAL job yet)

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
Nozomi was a lot of work and used nearly all the techniques I have learned cosplaying.
The bottom two layers are kinomo tops and the top one was hand painted. I made my first ever pleated short skirt and it even has pockets!!! Then is the mock obi and then on top of it all is the fitted jacket. That part was the most work since I had to alter a pattern and then it has hand painting, wonderflex armor parts and handbeading all around it. It actually has a different beaded pattern for each of her protectors. I also hand gradient dyed the fan pouch and crafted her sword out of wood and detailed the hilt from craftfoam.
- Personal Thoughts:
- XD I made Nozomi because of the love a friend has for the series and I loved all the colors.
Wig Details
- Styling Notes
- The wig came curly so I needed to straighten it and then arrange the bangs.
- Wig Review
- I love this wig from the thickness to the color, it is just wonderful.

We saw a Greek tragedy unfolding, or should I say…dragedy, as Goran Dragic was stuck in a fall from grace. Last night saw some redemption as he scored 12 points to pair with 11 assists, plus a steal and a block.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Emeka Okafor
Elton Brand played 33 minutes in the Mavs/Thunder OT thriller Friday night and scored 10 points with 13 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, and he has now double-doubled in back to back games. You've been Branded! EB is starting to get comfortable with his new sixth man role, and Friday's game was his fourth in a row scoring in double-digits, including a sweet season high 20 point game last Sunday.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Greetings! It is I, Tehol Beddict. Becoming internationally known for my scripture in the football section this past season, I was crowned league champion of all the fantasy experts, which has been a humbling experience. Behold, I come to you now, bearing massive quantities of basketball knowledge, to provide you with the insight you need to win your league title this year, as well as providing some humor along the way.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Garrett Temple aka the Silver Snake aka the Blue Barracuda had his best game of the season last night with 8 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists and a steal in 47 minutes. Take that Olmec, you giant, ominous Mayan head! Although he didn't shoot very well (just 3-10 FG) the rest of that line is certainly encouraging.Please, blog, may I have some more?
There is a very interesting situation brewing in Toronto, this time involving the guards instead of the big men. Kyle Lowry is still coming off the bench, last night playing 22 minutes, taking 2 shots (missing both from downtown), and throwing in 2 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Isaiah Thomas got the start Friday night and scored 11 points with 4 assists, a steal and three 3-pointers in 29 minutes. The move to start him actually makes logical sense, which is strange since we're talking about the Sacremende Kings here.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Spencer Hawes had 20 points, 9 rebounds, an assist, 3 steals and 5 blocks. He is averaging 13/6 over the past 2 weeks. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but his ownership is creeping up to the 50% mark.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Pau Gasol and the Lakers have had a train wreck of a season so far. Pau is seeing nearly all his numbers being below career average (12.6/8.9/3.5/0.5/1.2 with 42% FG and 76% FT) and having "knee tendinitis" to boot. As such, I had to move him down in the tiers because you can't be a Victoria's Secret model with those type of numbers.Please, blog, may I have some more?
One thing I absolutely hate, I mean really despise, is when teams relocate. I think it's a giant middle finger to fans and a blemish on the legacy of the team. That also leads to bizarre team names, like the Lakers in L.A.Please, blog, may I have some more?
As I mentioned the past couple weeks, every Wednesday I will release tiers for G/F/C in rotating fashion. Here's the original tiers, updated Guard tiers, and last week's Forward tiers. Starting next week, I'll split this into a morning and afternoon post (morning for recap and afternoon for tiers) to better explain the movement taking place.Please, blog, may I have some more?

AUSTRALIAN businesses are suffering a crime spree - and don't even know it.
A global survey by consultancy firm PwC shows 47 per cent of companies suffered "economic crime" in the past year, up from 40 per cent.
While the amounts may be small - 43 per cent say they lost less than $100,000 - 16 per cent of Australian respondents said they lost more than $5 million.
The global figure was only 7 per cent.
PwC also highlighted the rising threat of cybercrime, which was the second-highest form of crime in the survey.
"Businesses and governments are increasing their reliance on cyber technologies such as cloud computing, online banking and social networks," the report says.
"In tandem, the rate of change for new technology is increasing and organisations are struggling to keep up with the risks of introducing and using new technology.About 30 per cent of organisations suffered from a form of cybercrime in the past year.
PwC says most of them simply don't understand the need to protect themselves.
"The increasing prevalence and far reaching impact of cybercrime means it is no longer just an issue for the IT department alone," the firm says.
"Senior management and boards must take a more holistic approach to understanding their exposure to and appetite for cyber risks.
"Organisations should assess their preparedness to ensure they have the controls in place to respond proactively instead of reactively to emerging threats."
The rising use of USBs to transport information is also a risk, the company says, in that they may be exposed to networks that haven't been properly secured or has been specifically targeted.
"Reputational damage arising from cybercrime outlasts the financial impact and may considerably affect an organisation's client and customer base," PwC says.
PwC says firms can protect themselves by:
* Having leadership teams focused on the problem.
* Due diligence of suppliers, staff, contractors and agents.
* Regular risk assessments.
* Preparing a team to respond to attacks.
* Improving staff awareness.

Sammy Dwrote a review of Oakley Alps Jacket - Men's on September 4, 2009
Please tell me the Tanner/Jah billboard is gone!!!
I'm ready to spend a winter in this jacket. Oakley outerwear is actually really high quality. I ski daily in there stuff and it really holds up well. Zipper pulls are my only complaint. They are plastic and can break. Just be aware of that and you'll love their stuff. Anything 10K or high from them will keep you dry.*I'm inking out the rasta stripes.REGGAE IS FOR LISTENING NOT WEARING!!Tanner you're from Utah so rep some Bluegrass KID!

My washer shakes way too much in spin cycle,one agatater fin has broke off
Hi James,
Thank you for your inquiry. If one of the agitator fins has broken off, you will need to replace it. The part number for it is PS11739488. If your washer is shaking and moving the agitator is one part that will fix the issue. Some other parts that you may have to look at are the levelling legs, the rubber foot pads, the brake pads, the belt, the friction rings and the springs. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
I ordered the necessary parts which were so easy to find with Model Number of the Washer, ordered parts on a Tuesday and recieved them on a Friday!, wow was I surprised. I simply removed the softener dispenser, used a socket set to remove single bolt and pulled broken agitator out and installed the new one after replacing the bolt.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
I first grasped the fabric softner dispenser and pulled it up and off agitator. I then removed the bolt from the center of the agitator with a 1/2" socket, 8" extension and ratchet. I grasped the agitator assembly and pulled it up and off. Reversed the procedure to install. The bolt can be started by placing a piece of paper towel over the socket, then inserting the bolt into the socket. It will hold it there while you start the bolt. I also took the opportunity to clean the accumulated soap scum from under the agitator while it was disassembled. An easy fix!!!
Remover agitator/Auger assembly. Install new agitator/auger assembly. Washer still would not agitate. Called repairman and found the transmission was bad. Fortunately transmission was still under warranty. 10 year warranty on transmission.
The replacement was very easy, just one bolt and RR was a snap. However, the first part that came was defective and I called the 800 number, spoke to the rep and the part came the next day. Excellent customer service, and would do business again
Removed old agitator, and installed new one. Very easy.
Needed a medium extension and a rachet a screw driver and a 13mm socket. I used a short screw driver and inserted in it the softer container and lifted it strait up to get the softner container out of the way. I used the medium extension to reach in the auger and loosen the small bolt holding the auger on the machine. Pulled it up and out. Reversed the above procedure and it was set to go. Total time about 8 to 10 minutes. Thank for all the help Kudos to all including Susan W.
I first took the fabric softener dispenser off and useda ratchet wrench to take the nut off. I then removed the agitator, put the new one on and reversed the process. It was extremely easy!
I went ot the Parts Select web site, and read what other people had done with the same problem. The advice was right on. Using the paper towel to hold the screw in place during reassembly ws great advice. Thanks for the heads- up.
Use a blade to pop off the fabric softener dispenser cup. Use socket and extension to unscrew the single hex bolt that attaches the assembly to the shaft. Lift off the assembly and recover the flat washer. Install the new assembly over the shaft and install the original hex bolt and washer. Tighten firmly. Snap the dispenser cup back in place.
I popped off the fabric softener on top of the agitator. Used an extended arm on my socket set to remove the only nut holding the agitator on the motor assembly apparatus. The agitator came off with ease. Just reversed the procedure in replacing the new agitator. This was an easy job.
Pop the cap off the agitator/auger no tools needed. Once removed select a socket and a socket exstension. remove the screw amd pull off the part. Make sure to save the washer that may be still attached to the inside of the agitator. install the new agitator using the existing screw and washer. Takes about 15 minutes.
very easy replacement. was probably broken for a year and only took five minutes to replace. Can't believe we waited so long!

Canberra's position as a hub of forensic investigations has been bolstered by the signing of a five-year deal between police and two academic institutions.
A unique deal between the Australian Federal Police, the University of Canberra and the Canberra Institute of Technology has been signed to help enrich forensic research in the territory.
The agreement will continue a close partnership between the three organisations, which has achieved huge successes over the past five years.
It has seen 240 forensic investigators from Iraq trained in cutting-edge forensic techniques.
The partners have trained forensic specialists from other foreign police forces, including Pakistan, Indonesia and Thailand.
University of Canberra head of forensic studies Professor Chris Lennard said the partnership had helped foster a hub of forensic expertise and research in Canberra.
''It's true to say this is a very, very rare agreement anywhere in Australia. I'm not aware of any other university programs or police agencies that are involved in this type of agreement,'' he said.
''I think there's a fairly unique agreement that forms this ACT-based [forensics] hub, so I think it is significant in that respect.''
Professor Lennard said the collaboration between policing and academic institutions would greatly benefit forensics students studying in Canberra, such as University of Canberra honours student James Grech.
''We involve members of the AFP in our courses as well, so the student gets exposed to not only the great facilities, but also a significant range of expertise,'' Professor Lennard said.
The agreement was first formally established in 2007.
It incorporates experts from a wide range of forensic fields, including crime scene examination, forensic biology and chemistry, expert witness training and fingermark detection techniques.

WASHINGTON -- Nationals president Stan Kasten acknowledged Saturday there is a "very real possibility" the team will not reach an agreement with No. 1 overall draft pick Stephen Strasburg despite offering him a record-breaking contract.
The Nationals face a deadline of midnight on Monday night to sign Strasburg, a right-hander from San Diego State whose fastball has been clocked at 102 mph. Kasten said the Nationals offered Strasburg a major league contract worth more than the record $10.5 million pitcher Mark Prior got from the Chicago Cubs after being the second pick in the 2001 amateur draft.
MONTREAL -- Andy Murray has reached the Rogers Cup final and the world's No. 2 ranking with a 6-4, 7-6 (8) victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France 6-4, 7-6 (8). Murray jumped over Rafael Nadal and into his highest career ranking.
Murray will play in the final against the winner of a match later Saturday between Juan Martin del Potro and Andy Roddick.
Safina beats Pennetta to reach Cincy final
MASON, Ohio -- Dinara Safina needed only 56 minutes to eliminate Italy's Flavia Pennetta on Saturday, reaching the championship match of the Cincinnati Open with a 6-2, 6-0 victory in the afternoon heat.
TORONTO -- Dwayne De Rosario scored for the fourth straight game to help Toronto FC beat D.C. United 2-0 on Saturday.
Toronto (8-7-6) jumped two points ahead of D.C. United (6-5-10) for third place in the Eastern Conference. United dropped to 1-5-6 on the road.
WNBA basketball
INDIANAPOLIS -- Katie Douglas scored 19 points, and the Indiana Fever overcame a 14-point deficit to beat the Detroit Shock 82-59 on Saturday night.

Shavonte Zellous led Detroit (9-13) with 16 points.
Detroit shot 53 percent in the first half, but just 29 percent in the second. Indiana scored 45 points off Detroit's 24 turnovers to win their 12th straight at home.

Peter Stringfellow at 70
He's known as the strip club lothario. But, now a septuagenarian, he would rather go home to his ballerina wife
I'm sorry to say that distrust is in the air when I meet Peter Stringfellow. I had written an uncomplimentary column about titty clubs, Peter took exception and I thought he might cancel this interview.
Actually, I was amazed that the man who won Westminster council's first no-knicker licence would still be sensitive to criticism. I assumed that by now he'd have developed skin like rhino-hide, unlike the smooth, naked lovelies who dance in his clubs.
To his credit he didn't cancel so here I am inside his club, Angels, in London. It's an incredibly sumptuous place, all red Moroccan lampshades, luxury seating and gold lamé drapes, not really what I expected. Peter comes marching over in a black pinstriped suit, the silver mane cut…

It's Monday morning, and Oconee County Jail nurse Kim Steiner already has handed out medications, received medical requests and tried to communicate with an inmate who is refusing to talk.
"He knows how to talk. He knows what's going on. He's just playing the game," Steiner said.
Steiner's uncommunicative patient wanted lab work, medication and a consultation with an infectious disease expert; he's also got a full bottle of medication that he's turned over to jail staff. The prescription could help him manage his disease, but the bottle's never been opened.
Correctional health care isn't like going to a primary-care physician, said Dr. Paul Buczynsky, owner of Corrcare Inc., a correctional health care provider in Oconee, Morgan, Greene and Elbert counties. Most of the patients Buczynsky sees in jail don't have insurance, many lie about using illegal drugs, and they'll try to manipulate situations so they can be in control, Buczynsky said. Many people in jail also have mental health problems.
"It can be a challenging environment," he said.
"You have to convince them sometimes that they have to be honest," Steiner added.
Jail staff collects inmates' health information when they are booked into jail, recording medications and any ongoing health issues.
While in the detention center, inmates take their prescribed meds — pills sunk at the bottom of a cup of water to prevent palming — and detox from any drugs, legal or illegal, Buczynsky said. The jail provides prescribed drugs for inmates, but does not hand out any narcotics, whether prescribed or not.
"(We) get things sort of turned around," Buczynsky said. "Then they get out, and then they fall back into that same cycle."
Buczynsky, Steiner and the rest of the jail staff try to educate inmates about health topics like managing diabetes, quitting smoking and avoiding salty foods.
"We try to teach them about their condition," Steiner said. "You know, it's not just handing them a pill."
Steiner also passes out sheets of information about the county health department, where uninsured people can get their prescriptions filled for as little as $5 a month.
"I feel like their momma sometimes," she said, after telling one inmate he should consider taking a bath.
It's not clear how many inmates learn how to regulate their chronic conditions, or decide to take their daily prescriptions after a visit to jail, Buczynsky said.
"We only see the ones that come back and forth. We don't get to see the (people) that benefit," he said.
Chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes are common, but many inmates also have mental health issues.
"We're becoming a mental health facility, which is sad," Steiner said.
Uninsured people don't have many options for mental health care services in Northeast Georgia, and people will often try illegal drugs to find a way to ease depression, schizophrenia and other conditions, she said.
"(They) do all of these things out on the street to self-medicate," she said.
Financially, the Oconee County Sheriff's Office pays more for psychotropic drugs to treat mental health issues than antibiotics and other drugs, said Oconee County Sheriff Scott Berry.
"We're the de facto mental health provider," Berry said.
Since July 2011, the Oconee County Sheriff's Office has spent about $63,000 on inmates' medical care. Berry expects to spend another $20,000 before the end of the fiscal year — and has budgeted $136,000 in case of disaster, he said.
"Inmate medical care isn't an option," Berry said.
Jails aren't required to provide comprehensive medical coverage — inmates, for example, do not have access to dentists if they want braces.
"Just because you come into jail with a medical condition doesn't mean that that's a condition that we have to treat," Berry said.

Obesity is the chief suspect as girls reach puberty at age of 5
For several years theres has been a stream of young girls with the signs of early puberty entering the office of Dr Tabitha Randell.
Some have been as young as five. One four-year-old was developing body hair and breast tissue. She was also clinically obese. Dr Randell, a consultant paediatrician at Nottingham Children's Hospital, said that if the girl had been an adult, her body mass index (BMI) would have been 45 — hugely overweight for her size.
The age at which girls go through puberty is falling, and while the average age is ten, Dr Randell said that many children in Year 3 and 4 at school were now having to deal with breast growth, body odour, and the signs of puberty. It is…

PORTLAND, Ore., June 22 (UPI) -- Parents who chose prayer over medicine for their child, who died, will be the first tried under an Oregon law banning religion as a defense, prosecutors say.
Carl and Raylene Worthington are charged with manslaughter and criminal mistreatment in the March 2, 2008, death of their 15-month-old daughter Ava. She succumbed to pneumonia and a blood infection, prosecutors said.
State medical examiners ruled antibiotics could have saved the girl's life, The (Portland) Oregonian reported Monday.
The case, scheduled for trial Tuesday, will be the first test of a law passed in 1999 that eliminated religion as a defense in most medical cases. The law was enacted in response to the deaths of several children in the 1990s at the Worthingtons' church, the Followers of Christ in Oregon City.
Four months after Ava's death, her 16-year-old uncle, Neil Beagley, died of an untreated urinary tract blockage, prosecutors said. Beagley's parents, also members of the Followers of Christ church, are to be tried in January on charges of negligent homicide.
The Worthingtons and the Beagleys have maintained their innocence, saying state and federal constitutions give them the right to care for their children according to their religious beliefs.

The Republican senators have launched a campaign to encourage GOP opposition to any 2014 spending bill that includes funds for ObamaCare. Congress is expected to need a short-term spending deal by Oct. 1 in order to keep the government funded. Some Republicans have criticized the three senators for risking a government shutdown to make a political point.
The senators said they didn't want a government shutdown, they want a government spending bill that funds everything but ObamaCare. They said then it would be Obama's fault if the government shuts down if he vetoed the spending bill.
"We've got to stop this from moving forward," Rubio said. "Why would we double-down with your hard earned money on something that would hurt you."
Rubio argued the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, is harming the middle class most because of the employer mandate, which requires businesses with more than 50 full-time employees to provide health insurance or face a penalty fee. Republicans have said this mandate is resulting in reduced hours and a freeze in hiring by most businesses.
"This law makes is harder for people to create jobs and it's going to make it harder on the middle class," Rubio said. "I truly believe you cannot say you did everything you could to stop ObamaCare if you vote for a spending bill that funds it."
Rubio criticized the administration for "canceling parts of this bill on a whim." Earlier this month, Obama announced that he would delay the employer mandate for one year, until 2015.
Lee said if big businesses get a break from ObamaCare, so should individuals and families who will have to buy coverage under the individual mandate or pay a tax.
"Hard working individuals will have to comply, but big businesses won't," Lee said. "You've got big businesses being thrown a big bone — this is not fair. … The American people deserve not to have this law implemented and enforced if — as the president told us — it's not ready for prime time."

Dr. Susan Shurin - June 4, 2010
The NHLBI's annual Public Interest Organization Meeting has always been an excellent opportunity for patient advocacy group leaders and NHLBI staff to interact with one another and with representatives of major professional societies while hearing about the Institute's current and future research plans. This year's meeting—the 11th annual, held on May 24-25 in Bethesda, Md.—surprised attendees with a special treat.
The first afternoon, NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins delivered lively welcome remarks that touched on the five themes he has set for NIH research—including comparative effectiveness studies, translational research, and global health, areas the NHLBI has been dedicated to for many years—as well as the importance of reaching out to the public about science. He commented that of all the NIH institutes, he believes the NHLBI has been leading the way in getting health messages out to the public. Saying that outreach sometimes involves venturing into dicey territory, Dr. Collins showed a video of his latest appearance on The Colbert Report and a photo taken with Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry as part of the "Rock Stars of Science" campaign. Then he proved that his designation as a rock star represents truth in advertising by pulling out his guitar and leading the group in a song he wrote about the future of personalized medicine, called "Amazing DNA," set to the melody of the classic hit "Runaway."
In thanks to Dr. Collins, here are three haiku for the genome:
We gather to share
Successes and challenges.
Dr. Collins sings.
With song and great mirth
The NIH Director
Educates us all.
Wonder of wonders!
We sing, see, laugh and learn of
"Amazing DNA!"
It was an auspicious start to a successful meeting. We will have to work hard to top the performance next year!

One of the key factors in this Jeremy Hunt business was always going to be the ferocity of the political maelstrom around him. After a slow start, the Tories have sought to calm it down, offering fulsome support for the embattled Culture Secretary.
For their part, Labour have been calling for his resignation from the very moment the news broke, with Ed Miliband today accusing David Cameron of 'organising a cover-up' to protect his colleague. So
far, so party lines.
But what about the Lib Dems? It's noteworthy that one of their number — Simon Hughes, natch — last night called for an independent investigation into the matter (see the video above).
This, of course, is not something that Downing Street is minded to do. Their position is that the Leveson Inquiry is sufficient, and that Hunt should be allowed to state his case as part of that
Nick Clegg, it should be said, has so far remained on the side of the Tory leadership. Tellingly, he remained seated on the green benches for the Culture Secretary's statement on Wednesday, and one
of his people has this morning downplayed Hughes's comments in conversation with Sky's Sophie Ridge,
albeit with a touch of ambiguity.
That said, there will be pressure from Clegg's own party to take a tougher line on Hunt — and I wouldn't be surprised if he's tempted to do so. Don't forget, much of the Lib Dems'
'differentiation strategy' is based on presenting themselves as the
anti-establishment party within goverment. They may have been mentioned in the Fred Michel
emails themselves, but they will want to distinguish themselves from the whole Murdoch farrago nonetheless. Hence why Clegg mouthed 'no we didn't' when Cameron claimed in PMQs that
'we all did too much cosying up to Rupert Murdoch'.
In which case, this could easily become another sore point between the two halves (or the one-sixth and
five-sixths) of the coalition. Plenty of Tories still think that Vince Cable got off lightly after his nuclear comments about Murdoch. If the Lib Dems try to make life difficult for Hunt,
then this testy relationship might become even more frayed.

Namibia is a world-class producer of gem quality rough diamonds, uranium oxide, special high-grade zinc, gold bullion, blister copper, and lead concentrate as well as salt and dimension stone. A number of world-class companies using state-of-the-art mining and processing technologies are members of the Chamber. Rio Tinto plc and Vedanta plc mining companies, produce uranium oxide at Rossing mine and special high-grade zinc at the Skorpion mine and refinery respectively. Paladin Energy's Langer Heinrich Uranium mine is in full production and achieved nameplate production sustainably in 2013.
The world's number one diamond producer, De Beers, works with the Government of the Republic of Namibia (GRN) through Namdeb Holdings in a 50:50 joint venture, producing some of the world's finest gem diamonds. Namdeb's output increasingly comes from under the sea, thanks to the technical expertise of Debmarine Namibia. Further value addition is boosted by about 11 diamond cutting and manufacturing factories that utilise about 16 percent of diamond production by Namdeb Holdings.
QKR Namibia produces gold bullion at Navachab Mine near Karibib. Rosh Pinah Zinc Corporation produces zinc and lead concentrates at Rosh Pinah. Dundee Precious Metals Tsumeb produces blister copper at the Tsumeb smelter, from imported copper concentrates.
The mining industry continues to make reinvestments into the sector, as evidenced by the commissioning of Namdeb's Sendelingsdrif mine and their state of the art sorting facility, the new Red Area Complex on 7 November, 2014. Furthermore, Vedanta announced its decision to convert the Skorpion zinc refinery to process zinc sulphide concentrates at an investment of N$1.6 billion.
Debmarine Namibia launched its new N$2.3 billion exploration vessel, mv SS Nujoma in Norway on 9 January 2016. The new vessel is scheduled for commissioning in Namibian waters in the first half of 2017.

This event is all ages
From Atlanta, Georgia, the origins of Deerhunter can be traced back to when frontman Bradford Cox first met guitarist Lockett Pundt at high school. Years later Bradford met Moses Archuleta and started jamming together. Other contributors to Deerhunter since its establishment in 2001 include Josh Fauver, Colin Mee and Whitney Petty. The current incarnation consists of Cox, Pundt and Archuleta plus bassist Josh Mckay and guitarist Frankie Broyles.
Deerhunter's first album was a lo-fi experiment not initially intended for the wider world, but appeared in 2005 on a local Atlanta label, Stickfigure. Although officially untitled, it has since become known as Turn It Up, Faggot; a phrase that doesn't actually appear on the sleeve but is an insult that Cox claimed was often thrown at the band during their early gigs. Their next album, Cryptograms (2006), was generally considered to be their real debut and as such things started to get serious for the band. They had moved to fêted Chicago indie, Kranky (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Low, Stars Of The Lid), and the world outside was starting to pay attention.
Then in mid-2008, Deerhunter and Kranky signed a deal with 4AD, allowing them to finally release music outside the US and the band's next move was to prove epic in more than just musical terms.?? Recorded over the course of a week at the Rare Book Studios in Brooklyn, NY, the Can and Wire-inspired Microcastle (2008) was to propel them to further heights. However, the album leaked four months before release, leading the band back to the studio to record Weird Era Cont., an album in its own right added as a bonus disc to make Microcastle a 25-track colossus. Not content with such prolificacy, the band announced a new five track EP, Rainwater Cassette Exchange, in 2009 and that its release would coincide with the band's extensive European, Japanese and Australian tour in May and June.??
Displaying few signs of slowing down, Halcyon Digest, the band's fourth studio album was released in September 2010. Remaining in their native Georgia to piece together the album, Halcyon Digest took just a few weeks to complete. The recording sessions took place at Chase Park Transduction in Athens with Ben H. Allen helping to co-produce the album, while final track, 'He Would Have Laughed', was recorded separately by Bradford Cox at NOTOWN SOUND in Marietta. To announce the release, the band fully embraced the DIY mindset of their New Wave heroes from the 70's and 80's with a Cox-designed, cut-and-paste Xeroxed flyer. It's with these kind of approaches that Deerhunter continue to widen their sphere of influence and impress with each subsequent release.
After a brief hiatus, during which time Bradford Cox and Lockett Pundt released their own albums as Atlas Sound and Lotus Plaza respectively, a new Deerhunter line-up (with additions of bassist Josh Mckay and guitarist Frankie Broyles) reconvened in January 2013 at Rare Book Studio in Brooklyn, New York. Produced by Nicholas Vernhes and Bradford Cox and recorded in the dead of night, Deerhunter's new longplayer Monomania will be released in May. Monomania finds the group recalling its scrappy punk aesthetic; a perfect nocturnal garage rock album full of the layered and hazy vintage guitar sounds that define them. .
Back in 2008, a lot of heads turned to clock Crystal Stilts' Alight Of Night, their first album after a string of here-today-gone-tomorrow singles and EPs. It wasn't exactly a surprise - Crystal Stilts felt like part of a new age dawning, of underground collectives and random, crazy groups who'd rediscovered the joys of noise-pop and set about creating their own Creations - but there was something unique about Crystal Stilts, something hermetic yet gorgeous about the world they created. With their new album, In Love With Oblivion, they stretch things further still, honing their songcraft, indulging their more strung-out sides, full of elliptical verses and perfectly chiming guitars, cranky pop organs and the punkest of rhythms. It's a perfect blend of pop smarts and beguiling experiment.
Converging in the quiet of South Florida, Brad Hargett and JB Townsend dreamt a perfect pop group and then set about recreating the dream. Along the way to New York, they collected members, record labels, a cultish fanbase, raves from the likes of Dean Wareham and Stephen Pastel, and (from across the seas, at least) the kind of mystique even the 'know-everything' glaze of the modern 'net-age couldn't debase. I still listen to their records and wonder about the people behind the songs - and this does not happen very often nowadays. Their record covers are mysterious two-tone ciphers. They know the importance of a good font. In short, they sound and look like a group you want to be in.
And as with all good pop bands, Crystal Stilts not only look cool and sound great: they also listen hard. I recently read an interview where JB said his favourite show of '09 was The Mad Scene, which made me double-take - who else cares so much about Hamish Kilgour's other best group? But if Crystal Stilts are scholarly about pop, they don't wear their knowledge heavily. The best songs on In Love With Oblivion are effortless, rapturous - "Through The Floor" burns on fevered energy; "Silver Sun" kisses the air with a beautiful stream of jangle guitar; "Alien Rivers" is a spooked, psychedelic requiem, roughly Opal's Happy Nightmare Baby + 14 Iced Bears' "Mother Sleep" x Victor Dimisich Band. (But that was my math, not theirs.) "Precarious Stair" is my favourite girl-pop-song-not-actually- fronted-by-a-girl since, I dunno, "Just Like Honey".
A friend of mine walked into my flat when "Half A Moon" was playing and for a split-second asked if it was The Damned's "Smash It Up", which made me chuckle. Then he looked at the speakers and wondered what exactly he was hearing. Hey, cool - it's always good to take people by surprise. Well, that's what Crystal Stilts do with In Love With Oblivion - take all of those expectations you have and quietly, unassumingly, but determinedly turn them upside down, make you listen differently the glorious haze of pop they pour out of their bloodied veins. A buzzing organ, some slack-strung guitars, a clutch of Moe Tucker dreams and some black tambourines rarely sounded this alive.

Best Karaoke Songs
Buzz In: What's Your Go-To Karaoke Song?
Who doesn't love karaoke? Well, me for one. I admittedly turn red when I take the stage with a mic in hand, but somehow I always get coaxed into it by my friends. They love belting in front of some cheesy '80s music video, and they all have a signature tune they perform. Among the ones in their rotation: "Islands in the Stream," "Don't You Want Me," and "Like a Prayer." As for me, I prefer duets until I get up my courage, but once I do I'll usually sing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" or show tunes — don't judge.
What about you — do you have a go-to song? Whether you're a karaoke regular or you've only been once or twice, chime in and tell me your favorite tune to perform!

48-Year-Old Champ Makes More Boxing History
Retiring his "The Executioner" nickname in favor of the "The Alien," Bernard Hopkins tried to give Karo Murat a close encounter of the knockout kind.
With his first KO in almost a decade within reach, the 48-year-old Hopkins turned his title defense with Murat into a brawl, and retained his share of the light heavyweight championship with a unanimous decision.
Hopkins walked to the ring in a green mask with black eyes, and a cape, attire straight out of a campy sci fi flick. He had the "The Alien" emblazoned on the green waistband of his black trunks. "The alien don't get old," Hopkins said.
Hopkins (54-6-2) was dominant in his most convincing — and entertaining — bout in at least a decade. He turned the later rounds into his own personal mission to score his first knockout win since beating Oscar De La Hoya in September 2004 — 15 fights ago.
He battered Murat and busted open the challenger with a series of rights to the face to help successfully defend his championship at Boardwalk Hall.
Hopkins won 119-108, 119-108, 117-110.
"I really wanted the knockout, but he was tough," Hopkins said. "You know you've got to take some punches. Yeah, I have a little bit of blood on me but this is what they want to see. They wanted to see the knockout, so I took some shots."
Already the oldest fighter to win a major championship, Hopkins wants to keep fighting until he's 50. Up next, he'd like a date with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the spring — when Hopkins would be 49.
"We're going to do everything we can to get the biggest possible fight," Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer said.
The Philadelphia fighter also had the crowd on his side, with chants of "B-Hop! B-Hop!" echoing through the arena with each right hand in the late rounds.
He also heard encouragement from undefeated Philly fighter Danny Garcia, groomed as the next big star, who screamed "throw that right hand into the body! All day, every day!" from press row.
Hopkins, who weighed in at 172 1/2 pounds, pretty much did that as he pounded away at Murat.

A small point perhaps - but the MS advanced notification bulletins are NOT always issued "the first Thursday of the month" but the 'Thursday before the second Tuesday of the month' which is not necessarily the same thing - look at last month (April 09) for example....

OneMinutesJr workshop in Batken - Day 5
BATKEN, Kyrgyzstan, 22 November 2013 - Day 5 of the workshop and yes, we are getting there! Two more films are in the making, the rest is in the editing and fine-tuning process and already almost finished. Maksatai (14) and Orozgul are the last two participants who are working with the cameras. Maksatai helped the others a lot during the whole workshop and is really talented with the camera and as a director. Orozgul spent a lot of time working with a teacher on the water-colour drawing for her animated movie about a mudflow.
Since the videos will be used locally, we are producing a "clean" Kyrgyz version without any subtitles and an international version with English subtitles and of course also English movie titles. This takes a lot of time and everybody is busy doing this or filling in the application forms for the annual competition.
Once all films are ready, we can go and set up the screen and the projector in the theatre upstairs in the Karabak Middle School. Participants, friends and neighbours are already here and also the director and teachers from the schools as well as representatives of the local authorities.
The presentation of all films is great and everybody is more than happy with the results. Some of the films are real eye-openers and they are great to watch for other young people and raise important questions and sometimes even answers about the topic of the workshop - Disaster Risk Reduction.
Next on the agenda are the Annual OneMinutesJr Awards next week in Amsterdam. We will hold a masterclass for the 15 nominees from around the world and are looking forward to seeing familiar faces from the 2012/2013 workshops. The nominees this year come from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine, Armenia, Georgia, Vietnam, Libya, Mexico, Cambodia and Pakistan.
And maybe one or two of the children from the workshop that ends today in Batken will make it to the 2014 Awards, the chances are definitely not bad...
