Russia waged a losing battle Thursday to contain the worst wildfires in its modern history that have killed 50, as Prime Minister Vladimir Putin banned grain exports due to the drought.
New fires were appearing faster than the emergency services could put out the old ones as the total affected area nationwide increased by around 7,000 hectares to 196,000 hectares (482,000 acres), the emergencies ministry said.
"In the last day, the situation in Russia, in particularly in the Volga and central regions, had remained complicated," said the head of the ministry's crisis centre Vladimir Stepanov.
The death toll rose to 50 after a corpse was found in a burned-down house in the Nizhny Novgorod region and another victim died in hospital in the Voronezh region, the ministry said.
"In the course of the last 24 hours, 373 fires have appeared and 254 have been extinguished. As a result there are now 589 wildfires burning in Russia covering an area of 196,000 hectares," it said.
According to the ministry, 162,000 emergency workers have been deployed to douse the flames, which have now been raging in the affected area in central Russia for a week.
Officials have lashed out at weekend picnickers who considerably exacerbated the situation by leaving campfires burning which then turned into major blazes. But there has been no suggestion of deliberate arson.
With the situation escalating, Medvedev warned Russia's top two naval commanders and sacked a number of high-ranking officers for failing to prevent a wildfire spreading to a military base last week.
Fires in the countryside had ripped through a naval logistics base southeast of Moscow, destroying the staff headquarters, financial department, 13 warehouses containing aeronautical equipment and 17 storage areas containing vehicles.
The investigative committee of prosecutors said Thursday that it had opened a criminal inquiry into "major damage through negligence" over the spreading of the fire to the military base.
The authorities have deployed thousands of workers to prevent an even greater calamity as wildfires raged within a few kilometres (miles) of the country's top secret nuclear research facility in Sarov, a city closed to foreigners.
Officials said all dangerous nuclear materials had been moved away. "The situation is under control," the Interfax news agency quoted an official as saying.
Moscow had throughout Wednesday been hit by a thick smog from the wildfires that experts warned was dangerous for the health of the public but the situation had eased Thursday morning with visibility sharply improved.
However, there was no sign yet of the heatwave abating, with temperatures again forecast to hit 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in Moscow Thursday and the hot weather expected to last at least another five days, forecasters said.
The heatwave has also destroyed 10 million hectares of Russia's arable land and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced Thursday a ban until December 31 on Russian grain exports to avoid pressure on domestic prices.
"In connection with the unusually high temperatures and the drought, I consider it right to impose a temporary ban on the export from Russia of grain and other products produced from grain," Putin told a government meeting.
"We must not allow an increase in domestic prices and must preserve the headcount of our cattle," said Putin in comments broadcast on state television.
The local education authorities said there were no plans as yet to postpone the start of the school year, as had been mooted by some officials.
The Russian tabloids meanwhile excitedly reported that the hot weather meant that jellyfish were now being found in the Moscow River, a major event in an area unused to such exotic species.

This is an oh so frustrating one to me.. looking for a nice place for lunch during the week after college graduation...on a Monday. My one thought is Matyson... a lot of the places that I really want to go only do dinner or aren't open on Mondays period. I don't want anything too extravagant, I'm not in the mood for any Starr restaurant and my parents aren't big tapas fans (ahem, Tinto). That makes it a bit harder, but I think you guys are up for the challenge.
We can go further than Center City... say, South Philly, but again, not sure about the lunch aspect of it and places being open.
Thanks ahead of time!

Release Date: 2013 |
Album Rating: 4.5My 2nd review. I know someone else has reviewed it, I didn't read it, but I don't mean to step on anyone's toes - just really felt like reviewing this.
Any feedback would be great.
Album Rating: 4.5Really disappointed these guys broke up :/
Album Rating: 4.5Same bro. I live in England so I never got a chance to see them play, plus I got into them pretty late. One of my favourite bands probably. What did you think of the review? Or didn't you read it? (seems to be the case with most reviews nowadays)
Album Rating: 4.5I got the chance to see Comadre a couple times, most recently was earlier this year with No Sir, Ghostlimb, and End on End on that little farewell tour they did. One of the best bands from California. Bummed about them calling it quits.
good review btw.
Album Rating: 4.5Cheers for the compliment dude, appreciate it. You lucky bastard seeing them live, wish I could have so bad. I'm a bit ashamed to admit it but I don't know any of the bands you mentioned, gonna' check them out though.
Was the guitarists former band any good, something about light I think was their name?
summercide is still fantastic
Album Rating: 4.5agreed Chambered, but it didn't feel right to mention it in the review. What you think of review? Or you no read?
I just read very good man agree a lot :]
Album Rating: 4.5Cheers mate, really appreciate it. I just had to write it, I know that sounds proper dick-head-y but It just made me want to review it.
no I know your feeling
Album Rating: 4.5Whoever po'sd, cheers.
All right, here's some feedback. Sorry it's late, I've had trouble getting off my ass today.
First off, your word choice occasionally strikes me as odd. For example: "Opener "Color Blind" and it's adjoining track "Cold Rain"" and "Further tracks add to the albums solidity" Neither sentence is wrong, per se, but the words are a little off-putting.
It's a testament to the strength of the review this is the first qualm I have, though. For a second review especially, this is quite strong. At this point, you've gotten down most of the technical aspects of writing solidly, and your work follows a coherent structure and flows pretty easily. From here, you should work on developing your own voice. It took me a while to do that (look at my earlier reviews and you'll see I kind of followed the "band/genre history-good things-bad things-conclusion formula a lot), so I'm not expecting you to do that immediately. However, given enough experience and care it will almost without a doubt happen. Until then, read some reviews by guys like Butler/Klapper/Downer/Chan/Irving to get an idea of how their work goes above and beyond in terms of the fact that you can tell it's actually written by them.
The one thing I would say though is break your massive paragraph in two, as it's easier on the eyes to split it when you start talking about the bad things. Also, move the quotes into that same paragraph - it doesn't behoove you to have them isolated and then try to continue the sentence on the next line.
BTW, you don't have to worry about stepping on other people's toes when you review something that others have already looked at :]
Have a pos, and looking forward to more writing!
Also, before I forget - last paragraph should either be ditched or beefed up. Unless you're making a particularly poignant point in those last 3 lines the paragraph looks kind of awkward.

I may be in my mid-30's… but I felt like a little girl, again, while watching Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" on the big stage at the Peoria Civic Center Saturday night. I have wanted to see this Broadway show forever… since "Beauty and the Beast" is my FAVORITE Disney movie.
KALAMAZOO — The tale may be as old as time, but it's been just under 16 years since Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" opened on Broadway, where it ran for more than 5,000 performances before closing in 2007.
Good news for Broadway houses around the country: The "Beauty and the Beast" tour that's coming your way is a winner, a tight, handsome show with at least one spectacular dance number and a knockout voice.
Providence — Be warned. You will go home singing "No one shoots like Gaston" and/or "Be our guest." And when you get home, regardless of your coordination (or uncoordination) level, you may also find yourself dancing a few steps.
The brand-new touring production of the Broadway smash hit Beauty and the Beast has its roots in the 1991 animated feature of the same name.
When director Rob Roth signed on to the tour of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast," opening Tuesday at the Providence Performing Arts Center, he had one wish: assemble once again the creative dream-team that put together the original Broadway production.
If you think you've seen "Disney's Beauty and the Beast," it may be time to take another look. The touring stage production that comes to town Feb. 20-21 has been "reinvented from head to toe," choreographer Matt West said recently by phone from New York City.
Coaxing the gentle side of an irascible beast to the fore with love is the enduring romantic triumph in the tale "Beauty and the Beast."
Providence — "Disney's Beauty And The Beast," the award-winning worldwide smash hit Broadway musical, will launch its National Tour at the Providence Performing Arts Center, Feb. 9 to 14, as part of the Inskip Lexus Contemporary Classics Series.

Barbizon Modeling And Acting Agency Ripoff Like throwing money away Raleigh North Carolina
*Consumer Comment: Not a rip off.
*Consumer Comment: NOT a rip-off, Rather a wise investment in a future in a VERY competitive business.
About ten years ago, my mother signed me up in the school, at the age of 13. Why? Because realistically speaking, I have the "model look" at 5'8" 115lbs, well proportioned, and a pretty face. So, please don't think these comments are coming from some angry, wanna-be model who just didn't have what it takes...b/c I have found sucess elsewhere. Unfortunately, my mother didn't do her research on the modeling agency and industry before signing me up for this school.
I'm not sure what kind of money my mother paid for this school, maybe a $1,000 or more, but for nothing. They teach you things that you could read from a book in the book store for under $50 dollars, or you could learn from simple observation. How to put on makeup? Please, I've worked as a makeup artist before at this point in my life, and have taught and done demonstrations on women daily on how to apply their makeup to enhance natural beauty...and did it for free! How to walk properly down a runway? Turn on the television to any fashion network and see "the walk" as it is constantly changing anyways...and at the cost of your monthly cable bill! And lets talk about the quality of teaching. How about former students of the school who didn't quite get anywhere in the industry being hired as the teachers, and showing up hung over, and with attitude to teach a class that we spend hundreds of dollars for, acting like they know a thing or two about an industry they never got two feet in!
Oh, and I was rewarded when passing this series of classes, and offered to move up in the school, woohoo, where we got to pay for some more completely redundant classes which would prepare me for the IMTA, which costed sever thousand more, with the hope of being discovered. Once finally making it to the big IMTA in NY, we were left to the wolves pretty much. They sort of let go of us from there, and did not further instruct us on anything else that would help to reach further success while there. Not only that, but the manager of the company who attended on the trip bought acohol for several of the minors on the trip. The girls got extremely drunk in their hotel room that night, and attended the next day of casting calls hung-over. Once the casting calls were over for the weekend, we received our call backs, if we got any. Those who gave me call backs looked at my portfolio, and asked who my photographer was, in dismay. And guess who it was....the manager, same woman who taught our beginner level classes...I guess she was also a photographer? Or was she? The agencies were disappointed in my pictures, and told me I needed to have them redone, professionally.
Lesson learned: Don't throw your money away!

Not a rip off.
AUTHOR: Blahsblah2001 - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, October 10, 2008POSTED: Friday, October 10, 2008
I have never in my life attended a class where I was taught material that could not be read from a book for under 50$. In fact, there's precious little that can't be learned from the internet for free.
The difference is, when you go to fill out your resume (or whatever models have) 'graduated from beauty school' looks a whole lot better than 'read a book about makeup.'
I know how you feel, I'm currently wasting thousands a semester learning redundant things in college. I wish there were a cheaper way, but there isn't.

Blade and Soul – Character Creation
Hey guys, welcome to Project Noctis. We'll be covering a brief overview and layout of the character creation system in Blade and Soul. I'm going to guess you're already familiar with the game, whether you've played it or not, so we'll be jumping right in. For this video we'll be focusing on particularly the Yun, a gender-locked female race. Getting started, you can see that there's four tabs on the right, with five tabs on the left and we'll be explaining all sections as the video progresses. Initially you'll be given a default look, where there are 20 presets to choose from. If you're unsure of where to begin, I suggest picking one and going from there. As this video is relatively sped up, it won't cover all the sliders within each tab, so you'll still have some experimenting to do when creating your own unique character. Throughout the video though, you'll notice that there's a lot of camera movement, which can easily be done with your mouse and mouse wheel, so I definitely recommend making use of the different angles to get a better perspective of how your character will look when it's done, with even more features on the left that we'll be talking about momentarily.
As we move onto the hair tab, I want to mention that there will be more hairs available in-game using NCoins, which is the currency that you pay real money to obtain, so if you really don't like any of the options, you're not entirely out of luck. Also, every race has their own set of hairstyles, so that may be another thing to consider when initially choosing your race. The body type option here is also a preset that's entirely customizable, so we recommend to just pick one for now that suits your style and define it in the later tabs. As we move onto the next tab, you'll notice that there's plenty to work with when it comes to the face, such as pupil shape, eye shape, color, and a whole bunch more. By the end of this video, we'll have actually created a character one of our team members will be using as a final look, so if you're wondering why we keep shifting tabs and making all these tiny little micro adjustments, well that's pretty much the reason why.
Though the creator doesn't have an RGB spectrum to work with when choosing colors, it does actually have around 50 colors to choose from in most tabs, so don't feel like you're gonna look like every other Jane Doe in the game. One thing that might irk you however, is the lack of customization when it comes to facial decorations which will be coming up in just a second, with no way to really change the placement, color, or anything else for that matter when you're selecting one. We'll go actually and move on into the face customization which you just saw a brief glimpse of, maybe about a minute ago, and immediately you're pretty much thrown into over 20 different sliders, and though a little confusing at first, it is best to toggle the sliders all the way to the left and right, as shown, to actually see how it affects your look. From there you can get a better understanding of what you need and thus have more success when trying to get the look you want.
We'll just be creating our character here, and one neat thing about this game is that you can actually save your appearance and share it or reuse it, so if you feel like character creation isn't in your forte or simply just don't want to spend the time making your character look super awesome, we will be posting our finalized look in the description and how to download and apply it in your game to either use as a final product, or just as a foundation that, admittedly, I honestly think that looks better than most of the preset Yuns. Oh and minor protip – if you want a more edgy look to your character, make your eyebrows point down, as if they're angry, and if you want a more innocent or anime look, have them slant upwards.
You can also make the ends of your eyes point upwards or downwards accordingly. Something to note is the huge variation of looks among different races, so don't feel there is a be-all-end-all of setting you can use for every race, as we have Gons who are absolutely giant, and Lyns that are super duper tiny–I'm talking 2 feet tall tiny. Now, I was briefly mentioning the left tab earlier, and feel it should be given a little bit more in-depth explanation. There are tons of ways to change the look of your character as you can already tell, and undoubtedly you might feel a little lost sometimes.
Thankfully we have more than just the camera to work with, and can add things, such as different backgrounds, play with gloomy lighting, wear costumes that you'll more likely than not pick up throughout your adventures, poses that arguably are not that common, and even size comparisons of the other races, a feature I find pretty neat because let's face it, you'll be interacting with other players more often than not and you don't want to look like a giant..or..well if you're a Gon maybe you do. One other thing you can change on the left is the voice, as this is the sounds your character will be making depending on whether you're fighting, in a cutscene, or using emotes. As we are playing in the beta, the voices are not entirely finalized yet, and I do have to critique NCSoft on the relatively disappointing voice actors in this game, but hope that they refine it a little bit more prior to its release so you guys can really enjoy it. The last tab I want to briefly mention on the right is the body customization as shown here, something that really makes use of the tabs on the left, as here we'll be altering the entirety of your character beyond just the face.
Having that size comparison or pose set is pretty handy when unsure of how you look amongst the crowd. Oh and yes fellas, you can adjust the chest size of females in a variety of fashions. Please, just PLEASE don't make them three times the size of your head, for the sake of everyone who has to see your character. I don't want to be doing a quest on my tiny little character and have to walk by someone whose tits are bigger than I am, though…you technically could. One other thing I'd like to say is that Yuns are freakishly tall, so keep that in mind when making one. Even on the smallest settings, you'll pretty much be towering most other characters especially the Lyns. Second pro-tip is under body customization, you can navigate all of the features that include Length, such as Thigh, Calf, Torso, etc. to shorten or heighten the character beyond just the Height setting at the bottom. Some such as myself actually prefer doing this first when starting a character, as you'll have a better representation of how tall the character is going to be before altering the face or head size.
This is completely up to your discretion, as again there is no universal way to make your character look better than anyone else's, but I find that it does make it a little more convenient when changing these settings at the start rather than doing them last and having to go back. Other than that, character creator is pretty straight-forward and it does create an interesting start to the game, with hours and hours of customization features and characters that do look pretty life-like when your settings are thrown all the way up. Alternatively you can opt to make your character completely hideous and troll everyone around you, and trust me, this does happen pretty often as I've noticed in beta already. But..when all's said and done, you can easily save the appearance of your character by using the Manage Appearance button on the bottom right under your character and hitting the Save button on the right.
You can go back and save at a later time, so don't feel if you forget to do this you have to do it all over again. Uploading an image is just as easy, with a click of a button, and so is changing it back. Again I do want to say that this video is just an overview, so apologies if it felt a little rushed or if I didn't clarify some things, we do have the comments option available for that so feel free to leave some comments because we are very good at replying to them, but hopefully it gave you an idea of how the creation software is used so you can feel a little bit more comfortable when the game is released.
Thank you guys so much for watching, we are planning to do an entire series on all things Blade and Soul so be sure to stick around and subscribe! If you have any particular requests on tips and tricks that you'd like to see, please go ahead and drop that in the comments..otherwise, see you next time!.

The Finnish language
Finnish (suomi) is a Uralic language (thus, unlike most languages in Europe, it is not Indo-European) belonging to the Finnic branch of the family along with Estonian, with which it is not mutually intelligible, and a few other languages. The language is also considered to be a distant relative of Hungarian too.
Finnish is spoken by over 5 million people. Gramaticaly, Finnish is a transitional language between an agglutinating and a fusional language, with some degree of inflectional morphology affecting verbs.
Historically, Finnish developed as an oral language. Even in its early periods, it was in contact with Germanic languages and, as a result, Finnish acquired a range of Germanic loanwords, such as 'kuningas' ('king'), 'koulu' ('school'), etc. Finnish remained an oral language throughout the Middle Ages, because Middle Low German dominated in trade, then, after the 13-th century conquering of Finland by Sweden, Swedish dominated in trade and administration in Finland. In the 16th century, Mikael Agricola, a Finnish bishop, developed a writing system for Finnish. The new writing system was based on the orthography of Swedish, German, and Latin, and it was created so as to enable the translation of the Bible to Finnish. In 1809, Finland became part of the Russian Empire on the rights of autonomy. However, that did not stop the 19th century Romantic creation of Finnish nationalism. In 1835, an epic named 'Kalevala' was published in Finnish by Elias Lönnrot, and the language begins a gradual revival. When Finland gained independence in 1917, Standard Finnish was developed out of the Western dialects spoken in Finland.
Finnish is widely renowned for its alleged difficulty, but actually Finnish has a surprisingly regular grammar (including its case system, despite having 15 cases), it's almost entirely phonetic (meaning it's written as it's spoken) and also its phonology is easy: the first syllable always takes the main stress (in contrast to such Baltic languages as Lithuanian, for example, where stress jumps all the time). Moreover, Finnish has no articles or grammatical gender.
About Finnish conjugation
Conjugation is a process by which Finnish verbs are modified from their basic forms so as to make their meaning more precise.
In Finnish, the verbs can be conjugated by these major factors:
- person (the verb changes depending on the person it is referring to, e.g. 'ymmärrän' - 'I understand', or 'ymmärtää' - 'she/he understands'),
- number (are we talking about a single person like in 'ottaa' - 'she/he takes', or many: 'ottavat' - 'they take'),
- tense (Finnish distinguishes between the present and past tenses),
- negativity (the conjugation depends on whether a verb is negative or positive - this is also encountered in English to some extent, although such changes are usually considered less formal or dialectal - for example, "are" and "ain't"),
- aspect (this feature connects the verb to the flow of time; Finnish distinguishes simple ('puhun' - 'I speak') and perfect ('minä olen ostanut' - 'I have been', or, literally 'I am been') aspects, which exist for both present and past tenses),
- mood (which indicates the attitude, and is distinguished as, for example, indicative, conditional, imperative e.g. 'teet' - 'you do', 'tekisit' - 'you would do', 'tee' - 'do!'),
- voice (indicates the actor, and can be active or passive, e.g. 'tietää' - 'knowns' vs. 'tiedettäessä' - 'is being known').
In the Finnish CoolJugator, we try to provide you as many of these factors as possible, although we also try to focus on the most important aspects of conjugation. Moreover, we always try to show how forms relate to one another (see the verb tree above).

Dream Weapons present: STRINGWEAVER C60

They are awesome, Jacob introduced me to them around christmas an I think he in fact played one of the tracks at Dunkel once. It's nice the they way you get a visual presentation of the connection between American Minimalism and electronica aestetics, as you mentioned, in the videos. I would definitely like to see these guys live, it gives the term live electronica a whole new meaning.ReplyDelete
I love the tuba and timpani in the ensemble, I would like see a concert with the ensemble, but just seeing the three of them would be nice too.ReplyDelete
Yeah, it should be noted that I was also introduced to Brandt Brauer Frick by our mutual friend and fellow student Jacob Eriksen :)
Keeping a close eye on the BBF touring schedule is probably a good idea.

Its mainly aimed at negative emotions. But sometimes even positive emotions over dose is not good. Do you at all prefer to control your emotions? If yes, what measure you take to control your emotions?
sort by best latest
I prefer to control my emotions whenever I can. It depends on the situation and whether or not I have the time to do so, but, if possible, I take a deep breath and make myself stop and consider my situation before allowing myself to respond to it. For example, if someone were to email me something really nasty, I might take an hour or two, or even a day, to respond. This ensures that I am more able to control my emotions as I reply to what they've said. This way, there's not as much room for regret afterwards.
If it's something face to face, I ask the person to leave me be. If I'm angry, I'll say something like "I'm too angry right now to talk to you. Leave me alone." Once I've calmed down, I go back to that person and try to resolve things. I've lost friendships and gone through too much unnecessary drama to allow my emotions to go out of control for short term gain. It's not always possible to do that (in that last example, most people won't let me just walk away) but it's best to take advantage when you can and really consider those negative emotions before taking them out on anyone else.
If it's all something internal that you are dealing with on your own, talking it out with someone always helps me. If you'd rather keep it to yourself, write it out. Even positive emotions are good to get down on paper and go over later.

The truth? I overeat and frankly it works wonders but the side effects are horrible and long lasting---unfortunately.

2.1.1 Everything Is an Expression
Mathematica handles many different kinds of things: mathematical formulas, lists and graphics, to name a few. Although they often look very different, Mathematica represents all of these things in one uniform way. They are all expressions.
A prototypical example of a Mathematica expression is f[x, y]. You might use f[x, y] to represent a mathematical function . The function is named f, and it has two arguments, x and y.
You do not always have to write expressions in the form f[x, y, ... ]. For example, x + y is also an expression. When you type in x + y, Mathematica converts it to the standard form Plus[x, y]. Then, when it prints it out again, it gives it as x + y.
The same is true of other "operators", such as ^ (Power) and / (Divide).
In fact, everything you type into Mathematica is treated as an expression.
Some examples of Mathematica expressions.
You can see the full form of any expression by using FullForm[expr].
Here is an expression.
In[1]:= x + y + z
This is the full form of the expression.
In[2]:= FullForm[%]
Here is another expression.
In[3]:= 1 + x^2 + (y + z)^2
Its full form has several nested pieces.
In[4]:= FullForm[%]
The object f in an expression f[x, y, ... ] is known as the head of the expression. You can extract it using Head[expr]. Particularly when you write programs in Mathematica, you will often want to test the head of an expression to find out what kind of thing the expression is.
Head gives the "function name" f.
In[5]:= Head[f[x, y]]
Here Head gives the name of the "operator".
In[6]:= Head[a + b + c]
Everything has a head.
In[7]:= Head[{a, b, c}]
Numbers also have heads.
In[8]:= Head[23432]
You can distinguish different kinds of numbers by their heads.
In[9]:= Head[345.6]
Functions for manipulating expressions.
