2) It is not blindingly fast. On a 1GHz machine, the first time 'mo warmabs ..' is typed, the initial setup requires 30 seconds. After that, each time an abundance or ionization parameter is changed, it requires 5-10 seconds to recalculate the model. Presumably on a faster machine this will be reduced.
3) It calculates the spectrum 'on the fly', appropriate to the energy grid and parameters the user specifies. But it does not calculate the ionization balance self-consistently. It uses a saved file of level populations calculated for a grid of optically thin models calculated with a power law ionizing spectrum. So this will not be self-consistent if your source has a very different ionizing spectrum. Also it implicitly assumes that the absorber has uniform ionization even if you specify a large column, which is not self-consistent.
4) Photemis does not take into account scattering, only true emission.

Code of discipline for directors
From Wikimedia ZA
Approve costs
Approval tree
I would propose something like:
- Under 1000 ZAR: BOARD MEMBER. Administrative support by SECRETARY1
- Under 5,000 ZAR: REQUESTER + other BOARD MEMBER + SECRETARYthree members have to approve this, this will be the requester and the (deputy) secretary
- Above 25,000 ZAR: majority BOARD approval
Important: approval has to be found before commiting to the costs. So please do not wait until the flight is booked, the computer station have been installed and the invoices comes in. Do it BEFORE you give them final go. Of course this allows for exeptions, eg. the missing your flight.
Approval procedure
Send the request to the WM ZA board mailing list. Approvals are added as "reply to all".

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)
This is a program for students who are seeking Baptism into the Catholic Church, or who desire to complete their initiation into the Catholic Church through the reception of the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist. The RCIA is also the place where students inquiring about the Catholic faith, or Catholic students seeking to update their faith can do so within a small communal and supportive setting. The sessions are informal & discussion-based. Inquire at campus ministry x5890.
Student Interfaith Forum
Christianity in dialogue with the World's Religions
The forum provides an opportunity for students of a variety of faiths, or of no faith commitment to learn about each others beliefs, traditions, and religious practices even as they clarify and deepen their understanding and appreciation of their own faith traditions. Through video and speaker presentations, group reading /discussion of the sacred texts of world faiths, field trips, plus an interfaith board game, students explore the commonalities and distinctions among the world's great wisdom traditions on a variety of topics.

Letter to Rep. Linda Sanchez supporting the Increased Student Support Act
July 01, 2008
Dear Representative Sanchez:
On behalf of the National Education Association's (NEA) 3.2 million members, we would like to express our support for the Increased Student Achievement through Increased Student Support Act. We thank you for your leadership in introducing this important legislation.
Counseling programs staffed by professional school counselors, school psychologists, and school social workers help all students in the areas of student learning, personal/social development and career development, ensuring that students become productive, well-adjusted adults. Effective counseling programs are important to the school climate and in improving student achievement. Too often, however, these professionals have unreasonable caseloads, but counselors are expected to attend to the individual needs of students. In addition, many counselors are serving as testing coordinators, diverting their time away from meeting students' needs.
The lack of school counselors and other social services personnel is of particular concern in many low-income school districts today, given the increased pressure on student performance and the social, emotional and behavioral issues that impact achievement in high-needs schools. Your bill will help address these critical needs by increasing the number of school counselors, social workers and psychologists in under-served school districts.
We thank you again for your leadership on this important issue and look forward to continuing to work with you in support of great public schools for every child.
Diane Shust, Director of Government Relations
Randall Moody, Manager of Federal Advocacy

BRANDON — The days are getting longer and warmer, the snow is melting and soon we will have April showers — all signs that spring is on the way. But ice jams, snow melt and showers also raise the level of our streams and rivers. Our thoughts turn to the risk of flooding and the damage that may result.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard is seeking some changes in a proposed zoning designation for an area along the Middlebury River following an outcry from East Middlebury residents who contend the new zone will limit development and hurt their property values.
The planning commission began working on the proposed zoning amendments in 2010, following a Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) review by the town's administration of its flood hazard area regulations under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
BRISTOL — When Tropical Storm Irene slammed Vermont a year ago, Bristol wasn't as badly marred as some Vermont towns. But large sections of several major roads were wiped out, construction projects were taken back to phase one and several old structures were destroyed.
One year later, Bristol Administrator Bill Bryant said the town's infrastructure and finances are in good shape. He credited the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), among others, for aiding in the recovery.
BRANDON — Three months after Tropical Storm Irene, Vermont had set a new standard for the rest of the country as crews worked to repair and replace roads and bridges in record time. To the credit of state and local officials, critical flood plain development policies and regulations were coming to the fore with the epic flooding as an eerie exclamation point.
EAST MIDDLEBURY — Like many of the state's waterways right now, the Middlebury River has slowed to a virtual trickle in some spots amid what has been a hot, dry summer by Vermont standards.
EAST MIDDLEBURY — On Thursday night, members of the Middlebury River task force — comprised of citizens, scientists and local officials — spoke with more than 50 people in East Middlebury about the contentious future of the river that flooded the village during Tropical Storm Irene.
ADDISON COUNTY — As Tim Bouton, emergency response planner for the Addison County Regional Planning Commission, made his local rounds after Tropical Storm Irene, he urged towns to drastically rethink their roads, public buildings and other infrastructure and get them out of the flood plain.

Most of Washington that has Dish Network are stuck in the battle between them & Fox about money. I find there is plenty of guilty partys on both sides so no sense in taking one side or the other.
Anyway Gonzaga,,Eastern Washington's favorite son got their game from California tonight switched from a regular tv channel to Fox because of the football playoffs. So anyone with Dish and a Zags fan are going to miss the game.
that will add lots of pressure to the battle. Gonzaga fans are pretty heated.
One of the rare times I rooting for a zags fan.

GRAHAM � River Mill�s boys� basketball team ran out of time as shots failed to connect in the late going in a 61-51 loss to visiting South Creek in the second round of the Class 1-A state playoffs Wednesday night.
After trimming a 19-point deficit to five, the Jaguars couldn�t get any closer as their season ended.
�We knew it was going to be a hard matchup with their size and strength,� River Mill coach Lemont Turner said. �That hole we dug ourselves was too much.�
Laquan Boston scored 30 points for South Creek (23-6), which faces Camden next.
River Mill (15-13) trailed 51-37 with less than four minutes to play. But a series of South Creek turnovers gave the Jaguars hope, especially after Jesse Crawford�s 3-point basket closed the gap to 51-44 with 2:18 left.
South Creek then went 1-for-6 on free throws, though the Cougars captured three offensive rebounds during the stretch. R.J. Alvarado�s three-point play for River Mill made it 52-47 at the 1:43 mark.
�We became more aggressive,� Turner said. �We were able to play a little defense and get some stops.�
The remainder of the Cougars� points came on nine free throws, while River Mill scored on only two of eight possessions in the last 1:35.
Alvarado finished with 25 points and Crawford provided 10 points.
The Jaguars suffered through a miserable second quarter, with Alvarado providing the only four points. The team�s lone field goal in the quarter came on his drive with 2:22 left before halftime. South Creek, which scored the first eight points of the quarter, led 32-13 at the break.
The Jaguars began the second half on an 11-2 run.

In which Aaron attempts to learn about and promote a specific feature.
here is the most relevant bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169904
A dynamically filled in selection box that allows the user to select which meta-data is shown in a file manager (Dolphin). And views that show this metadata.
Example metadata: bitrate, encoding-methods, horizontal resolution, vertical resolution, horizXvert-area, polygon-count (for 3d models), author, number of pages,album,play-time(for everything from warcraftIII replays to mp3s), person who committed (svn)
Highly customized meta-data, a user would have to create custom ones on their own, but a template for helping people search should be provided, a "file includes text:" or regular expression. (granted this stuff would be slower than snot)
root-directory-- mime-type, parent directory, size, file-name
We will expressly want parent directory as a way to break down later, and be able to have portions of the file name be categories.
Permissions, what happens the meta-data crawler is ran with, say root permissions and the user is bob, and he tries to access andy's stuff. It may be ok to run the indexer periodically as root, but then access to this data needs to be confirmed .
have seporate column for selected or not have seporate preview column
Dialog to select meta data at least: access time, modified time, creation time, author, playtime, bitrate, pages, dimx, dimy, album, genre.
This information can be stored short term in version 1.0
indexer Done at user level (unless as system-wide-search-user is easier)
store the information in a database so it doesn't need to be refreshed, store by inode so if the file gets moved.
capability to have indexer as either root or user.
network integration, If a file is selected by another user is should be visible to another user. (option to share this or not)
The file manager outer window... and settings managers...
Properties dialog will need to be able to show information, Currently shows Type Name
size, subfolders (also should be doable by our things)
modified time, access time, mount location -- very good should also be meta-information, device usage -- also should be a column available... will want inode.
extended information will be under a new tab in the properties dialog, as to not interfere with the existing General.
Extended information will show up as a list.
we will need a database of what metainformation is available for each file-type.
has stuff like kfile and kdirmodel There is probably going to be something to do with all of this stuff.
102 * Parses the configuration file "kmetainformationrc" and
103 * updates the visibility of all rows that got their data
104 * from KFileItem.
Strigi looks like it is the tool to gather needed meta-data http://strigi.sourceforge.net/
http://soprano.sourceforge.net/ This looks like it is the tool that will hold the meta data Nepomuk RDF something or other... I don't know why this is different than any other database, but it looks like it fits the bill.
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/intro-to-dbus.html http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus This looks like the way information will be shared between modules.. a direct socket connection to soprano may be also useable if performance is required

Heather R, Kentucky
- 12/16/2012
About Me
Hi! I'm Heather, a thirty-something stay-at-home mom to 3 amazing little girls. I'm also the VP of Garden Party Teas, a designer of custom children's clothing, a writer, a blogger, a Disney nut, and a member of the inaugural Walt Disney World Moms Panel. In my 'free' time, I also squeeze in volunteering at my daughter's schools and our church, serving as PTO president, coaching youth soccer, building furniture, DIY projects, gardening, and reading everything I can get my hands on. Sleep? Not so much.
About My Family
I've been married for twelve years. We both studied at the University of Kentucky and met while in college. My husband went on to obtain his Master's degree while my career took a new direction: raising our family. In 2003, we welcomed our first daughter, followed by daughter number two in 2005 and our third in 2007. The girls are the light of my life! We enjoy playing games, watching movies and working outdoors on projects we can do as a family. To datee, none of them have ever beaten me at Disney Trivial Pursuit, but that never stops them from trying! We are very active in our church and the girls enjoy dancing, gymnastics, cross-country, soccer, softball, and girl scouts, in addition to music lessons and choir and school activities...making Mommy a full time taxi driver!
About My Disney Experience
I made my first trip to Walt Disney World as an adult with a child of my own, and have been busy making up for lost time ever since! We visit Disney World two to three times a year, enjoy our Disney Vacation Club membership, and are always busy planning the next trip! I've vacationed through newborn, infant, toddler, preschool, and tween stages, and while breastfeeding, potty-training, juggling multiple strollers and definitely using the Baby Swap Pass! With three kids 9 and under, you name it, we've done it! I love to help family and friends plan their Disney vacations and I am now excited to help do the same for your family!

Today, April Fools' Day, Hillary Clinton – running for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination – likened herself to 'Rocky'.
Rocky Balboa is a struggling boxer trying to make the big time. Working in a meat factory in Philadelphia for a pittance, he also earns extra cash as a debt collector. When heavyweight champion Apollo Creed visits Philadelphia, his managers want to set up an exhibition match between Creed and a struggling boxer, touting the fight as a chance for a "nobody" to become a "somebody". The match is supposed to be easily won by Creed, but someone forgot to tell Rocky, who sees this as his only shot at the big time.
Unfortunately for her, the comparison may be a bad one. Hillary's the 'somebody' whom everyone assumed would be the nominee; Obama is the 'nobody from nowhere'.
For those who forget or not in the know, Rocky was played by Sylvester Stalone.
(The picture, by the way, is from a film other than Rocky. But you get the idea.)
Somehow I think this is going to backfire on her, no matter how apposite. Will anyone be able to watch that film again in all seriousness? I'm really not sure who will come out the better for it, Hillary or Sylvester. I predict this to be the end of the beginning of the end for brand Clinton… for the time being.
US media pundits are latching onto how Clinton's whopper about Bosnia is seeping into popular culture, rearing its head on the talk shows in the guise of various jokes. Sometimes, though, it takes a professional comedian (i.e. Mark Steel writing for the Independent) to convey the truth.
If she became president it would be brilliant, as she stood on the White House lawn before the world's press and said, "I would like to thank the King of Morocco for his thoughtful remarks, and would add that I used to play professional darts. I went to a party once that went on for three weeks without stopping, and there was so many people dancing that the floor collapsed and we all landed downstairs which turned out to be an off-licence so it went on for another month."
Presumably she thought the sniper fire story would impress the audience of soldiers. So her campaign team should book her in to speak to other professions to see what she comes out with. If she addresses lumberjacks she'll start, "Hey, that's a tough job you folks do. And I should know because I once spent two days dangling from a cedar tree. Then my chainsaw slipped and sawed me down the middle, but luckily my right half put my left half in a nearby freezer that kept it fresh until the doctor arrived to sew me back together. But hey, let's turn to the economy."
Maybe it's part of a pact. Her husband only seems reasonable now because the idiot that followed him is so much worse. So to even things up, as president she'll talk such twaddle that in a couple of years people start pining for Bush.
Because someone who routinely lies like she does, then dismisses it as a consequence of the number of words she says has severe psychological problems. Perhaps her disorder is a result of the sort of politician she is. Like Blair, neither she nor Bill stand for anything – priding themselves in being tied to no "ideology". So a normal politician might set out with a set of principles, then lie as they compromise and betray them. But a Blair or Clinton is a politician with no purpose but their own standing, like celebrities who are nothing but celebrities. So they say whatever they feel will make them look best to the audience they're with, regardless of whether it's true, until they probably don't know themselves what's real and what's not.
And the daft thing with Hillary is her real life is ridiculous enough. So when she ends up in a home, muttering "I've got the biggest peanut in the world. I sang backing vocals on 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. I went right along the Great Wall of China in a wheelbarrow," the nurses will say "Poor old thing. This morning she was jibbering that her husband was president and had affairs in the back room and denied it but got caught cos he sploshed on an intern's dress. She's getting worse isn't she, it's such a shame."
I'm sorry, for Clinton supporters, to say that the sniper fire story has got legs and I don't think it's going to go away. It encapsulates perfectly the reasons why Hillary has, in the jargon, such poor 'negatives'.

It's all part of the entertainment industry's "Voice for Road Safety" program started in 2005, funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety. The RADD California Coalition engages businesses, media and state-government leaders in finding solutions to reduce deaths and injuries among young adults on California's roads.
A card available at Discover Pacific Beach, 1503 Garnet Ave., lists 22 bars and restaurants that participate in RADD, also known as the designated-driver program.
The card also includes a designated driver pledge that customers are encouraged to sign, though most businesses don't require the card in order to get a free drink.
Patrons need only identify themselves in participating establishments. In fact, it's mandatory for all San Diego bars and restaurants that have entertainment permits to offer free non-alcoholic beverages to designated drivers, according to Marian Novak, RADD Coalition director for San Diego and California.
She touts the program and distributes cards at local universities and to Navy and Marine Corps bases.
"Our mission is for people not to drink and drive," said Novak. "We tell them to make a plan before they go out. Appoint a designated driver, get a taxi or a hotel room or stay with a friend."
Fortunately in Pacific Beach, she said, many of the locals walk to bars.
While some bars and restaurants offer sodas, coffee and juice to designated drivers, others also offer "virgin" drinks, and some even offer free munchies, like tacos, to encourage at least one person in a group not to drink alcohol.
Bar owners say that if waiters or bartenders neglect to tell groups about the program, patrons need only ask.
Such is the case at the Firehouse Restaurant at 722 Grand Ave., according to general manager Jaime Jones. Free drinks here include sodas and juice, as well as "virgin" versions of drinks like mojitos and mai tais.
Jones said the restaurant also will gladly secure one of the nearby taxis if the situation calls for it.
Jones doesn't believe the restaurant loses money on the free drinks because "they keep people eating." "It's worth it," she said. "Drinking is one of the popular things to do in PB and the designated-driver program helps keep the college-age people and everyone else safe."
Jones believes non-drinkers who serve as designated drivers are more respected than they used to be. "People look up to the person who's getting a Coke as being more responsible," said Jones.
The Sandbar Sports Grill on Ventura Place also participates in the RADD-guided program, using posters, cards and coasters to make patrons aware of the program. In addition to soda, tea and coffee for designated drivers, it offers non-alcoholic versions of all its mixed drinks.
"Our goal is to get people home safely," said David Jones, president of the Hospitality Task Force in Pacific Beach and director of operations for the Verant Group, which owns the Sandbar.
Although K.C. Matthys, a manager at Bare Back Grill on Mission Boulevard, said, "It's pretty standard among most PB bars to offer free non-alcoholic beverages to designated drivers."
Novak, who put herself through college waiting tables, said, "My dream would be that servers walked up to a group of four and said, 'So, who's the designated driver?'"
Jones agrees with the message and intent of the program.
"I'm definitely glad (the RADD program) exists," said Jones. "… Designated drivers have kind of evolved; people talk about it more. [But] I feel like people still don't take advantage of the program enough."

DETROIT - A plan is in the works to bring an events center, including an arena for the Red Wings, to downtown Detroit.
Detroit's Downtown Development Authority outlined the plan Wednesday, saying the project would cost an estimated $650 million.
It would sit north of I-75 between Cass Avenue and Woodward Avenue.
Aerial video: Site where new Red Wings arena will be built
The plan is subject to approval by Wayne County -- $365 million would be funded through private investment and the $284 million in public investment.
The arena would seat 18,000 and cost $450 million alone. It would include a 10,000-square-foot retail space, office space and a parking garage.
Read: Detroit sports fans approve downtown arena plans
The proposal also promises 5,500 jobs for the event center and 8,000 jobs for the mixed use district.
The DDA would own the development.
"(Emergency Manager) Kevyn Orr's Office is aware of this," said George Jackson, of the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation. "Again, most importantly is that we're not asking for money from the general fund of the city of Detroit."
Jackson said progress on the project could be described as being on the 50 yard line of a football field.
"But sometimes, as you know, when you're on a football field, when you get to the red zone things get a little tougher," he said.
Jackson said they have not been talking with the Detroit Pistons at this time.
"If they want to talk, I won't turn down a meeting," he said.

- Steven Crossley said...
Somewhere in the north then would make most sense. Leeds would be rad at the brundell.
Totes get sky larkin supporting, oh and runaround kids are really ace too (think they've already supported you in wakey?). Maybe Copy Haho? Their albums just come out and is pretty good.
Make people come in fancy dress too... could all come as ghosts. Do it on Halloween. PLAY DRESSED AS GHOSTS. STUFF LIKE THAT.

Cardiff, but I'd see you in Birmingham (or better, Bristol) if it were extra super special <3
- June 27, 2011 at 11:43 PM
- Paul said...
Seconding the Brudenell and Sky Larkin. Maybe get bands like Dananananaykroyd and Stagecoach along and make it a super touring buddies reunion show.
- June 27, 2011 at 11:44 PM
- Elie said...
Sheffield please! As for bands, your usual touring buddies suit me just fine, but we have some great local acts coming together up here too - check out Love At Death Beach and Cats:For:Peru, and of course I don't need to mention Screaming Maldini.
Obvs if you could bully your way onto the Tramlines lineup that would be amaze as well.
- June 27, 2011 at 11:48 PM
york, the basement of bar lane studios art gallery. everyone would bring lots of ale and wine and it would be free for everyone, the place has no license or anything. i could definately sort this out along with a friend or two.
as far as bands go:
sad panda, missing kids & wheres hollywood?
- June 27, 2011 at 11:49 PM
- Sarah said...
Come to Cardiff. We have a little place called the Cardiff Arts Institute which has had loads of great bands and, even better, totally advocates the use of bunting...
- June 27, 2011 at 11:51 PM
Any chance of a Newcastle gig? You guys consistently miss us out on all of your tours, as far as I know you've only played here twice - both times as support acts. Cmon, we won't bite!
- June 27, 2011 at 11:55 PM
Not sure where you could do a big big show in Birmingham but def get Ace Bushy Striptease and lookimakemusic to open up.
- June 27, 2011 at 11:58 PM
it simply has to be manchester... 'Manchester 100%'
- June 27, 2011 at 11:58 PM
I feel like what's really important is that the Birmingham gig features either confetti or a balloon drop.
- June 28, 2011 at 12:03 AM
LNDN wise:
Gonna have to 16+ it
As far as venues go I'd think that you could take up the whole of Village Underground or Proud Camden and put in fairground stuffs with coconuts (went to something where you got a free coconut for something, can't remember, free bar) and cake, bunting and inflatables as well as the whole live show.
Just a few ideas really but you could fill those two with the bill being who I'd guess.
- June 28, 2011 at 12:09 AM
Oh and have Stagecoach/Sky Larkin and the regular Alcopop/DIY lot involved, and do a Leeds date.
- June 28, 2011 at 12:20 AM
TUBELORD (their album release is around the same time)
COPY HAHO (or an alco band)
not like I'll be at any of the gigs, that'd just be an ace lineup even if it's extremely far-fetched.
- June 28, 2011 at 12:27 AM
OH, and ACE BUSHY STRIPTEASE would probably cry tears of joy to play with you guys too. they're the nicest people on earth
- June 28, 2011 at 12:32 AM
The north. That's it. Simple as that. Then you've got a show for the South, one for the best people and one for Northeners.
Unbiased Midlander's opinion right there...
Ste's Leeds suggestion is a good'un
- June 28, 2011 at 7:26 AM
Leeds Brudenell! I bet Nath'd be totally up for putting something like this on.
And Sky Larkin, Stagecoach, Dananananaykroyd, Tubelord and Copy Haho would be ace as supports.
- June 28, 2011 at 11:09 AM
GLASGOW guys!
You know you love it...
Plus plenty of AMAZING local support, Danananakroyd, Frightened Rabbit, Admiral Fallow, Twin Atlantic... even get the Xcerts down from Aberdeen, the possibilities are endless!
You can even try park your van somewhere where it's not gonna get towed away after 11 o'clock again!
- June 28, 2011 at 11:45 AM
Following up on the Glasgow suggestion... How about a gig in the park? For the royal wedding some guys organised a party on facebook for in Kelvingrove Park... quickly went viral and like 10 thousand people showed up, was absolutley insane (ended in a bit of drama but let's skip over that...). So you could arrange (get the adults to arrange) something with the council to let you set up a wee stage in Kelvingrove for a saturday afternoon or something. Or just turn up and do it acoustic/casio-ey
- June 28, 2011 at 11:56 AM
Bristol or Cardiff? Thekla, Stokes Croft or Cardiff Solus are really nice venues. Umm LC!, Copy Haho, Sparky Deathcap, Sky Larkin, Dananananaykroyd, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Meursalt, Islet or Fight Like Apes for support? (that is a lot of suggestions I know, but yh).
- June 28, 2011 at 12:17 PM
You should play Brighton with my lovely friends Flash Bang Band.
Not sure if you remember Rodney from your South African tour... He's their drummer, and he's swell.

- June 28, 2011 at 3:18 PM
- Alex Miller said...
oh yeah man,me again about The Thinktank in Brum get some people like Danananaaykroyd,Copy Haho,Sky Larkin,Yuck,LC! even to come and play at the thinktank and everyone should come dressed like characters from kids films and stuff (keeping with the theme of the thinktank which is aimed at kids) , and we should set bouncy castles up for the audience to sit on and it will be supper fun!
- June 28, 2011 at 3:23 PM
Manchester!!! HUGELY
- June 28, 2011 at 8:39 PM
Aberdeen. You have to come to scotland, you cant leave us out. There are gardens in the center of aberdeen called Union Terrace Gardens. There is a bill right now to basically cover them in concrete and make them into a parking lot. They are the only green space in the city center! Im pretty sure you guys could do some sort of acousticy set thingy there and have lotsa of carnival things etc etc. It would also raise awareness for the issue of the gardens being destroyed so you would be doing a good thing :) Please xx

- many cranes said...
when playing the london date, please oh please from the bottom of my heart, make it a 16+ gig. it would just be the best thing ever.
as for support, any of the following would make an ultimate win: stagecoach, copy haho, screaming maldini, young legionnaire, lightguides, los campesinos, hold your horse is, sky larkin, fight like apes, etc etc.
so yeh, dont really mind who supports, just make it 16+.

Brighton! If only people would FUCKING TURN UP and mosh!
- June 30, 2011 at 5:55 AM
Choose to play with New Cassettes, they have the balance between locality and awesomeness!
- July 1, 2011 at 12:03 AM
Northern city, and always a decent crowd when you play. in fact, remember when it was snowing like mad, the roads were awful, and there was still a decent sized crowd at the Brudenell?
Don't go to some provincial dump. Don't play at some other southern venue. You can do those any time. Make it as massive as possible, and come to the next biggest city in England. <3
- July 2, 2011 at 6:40 PM
The people saying Copy Haho and the people saying Sky Larkin are sensble, exciting and amazing people. Please listen to these people, that'd be such an ace showww

Husaberg North America has announced the 2013 model range available in the U.S. market. The high-end off road manufacturer, with its roots in the Swedish origin of Husqvarna, has a well deserved reputation for innovation.
Interestingly, Husaberg has abandoned the unique architecture of its four-stroke singles (whose cylinders were previously laid over at a near horizontal angle) claiming the handling advantages of that design are more than offset by significant weight reductions in the reciprocating mass in the new engines.
Both the four-stroke and two-stroke models (described in the Husaberg press release below) each receive new frames with improved rigidity balance and a WP fork with "patented floor chamber technology." Complete details are available at www.husaberg.com
Murrieta, CA – Husaberg North America, a division of KTM North America, Inc is excited to announce its 2013 model line-up including a range of 2-stroke and 4-stroke machines that will suit riders in every competition class.
4-stroke models:
FE 250: The newest addition to the Husaberg model range is the all new FE 250. The FE 250 is the first 250cc 4-stroke model from Husaberg. The FE 250 features a lightweight and compact power plant with a modern electronic fuel-injection. The quick and responsive FE 250 is the new weapon of choice for all enduro racers.
FE 350: After winning an Enduro World Championship after its release in 1991, Husaberg is back on track with the return of the FE 350. The FE 350 succeeds the FE 390 in the 2013 line-up for the new and growing mid-size division that performs like a 450 but feels like a 250.
FE 501: Husaberg's most successful model in racing so far, the legendary FE 501 is back for 2013. The FE 501 combines a huge weight reduction in 2013 with massive power that represents what Husaberg encompasses: Ultimate rideability without compromise.
2-stroke models:
TE 250: The TE 250 now offers a more lively power delivery and all new chassis. An adjustable power valve and selectable ignition curves give the rider the ability to adjust the bike to their personal riding style. In 2013, the TE 250 also features the standard 6-speed transmission and electric starter.
TE 300: Known for its matchless power-to-weight ratio the TE 300 approaches 2013 with a completely new chassis with even more power and agility than ever before. The TE 300 is proven to be the ultimate extreme enduro bike.
The entire 2013 Husaberg line-up features a new frame, made of chromoly, subframe made of high-strength plastic, a new swingarm and new bodywork. Additional elements to the 2013 chassis are the patented 4 chamber technology, closed cartridge forks by WP Suspension. The new user-friendly fork enables both the rebound and compression adjustments to be made at the upper end of the fork. The Husaberg's 2013 innovative chassis are fully equipped, integrated and characterized to provide optimal functionality.

Brussels, 8 May 2013
Frequently Asked Questions: 2013 EU Citizenship Report
What is EU citizenship?
European Union citizenship is not just a concept, but a practical reality that brings tangible benefits to all of us. EU citizenship and the rights that go with it, such as the right to free movement, are key pillars of the European Union (Articles 20 to 24 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union). It is a status all nationals of an EU country automatically enjoy, which adds to and does not replace national citizenship. As underlined by the European Union Court of Justice, "Union citizenship is destined to become the fundamental status of nationals of the Member States" (Case C-184/99 Grzelczyk).
EU citizenship brings a set of important rights to all EU citizens, whether economically active or not, which gives them tangible opportunities and benefits in their daily life.
In particular, EU citizens have the right:
What is the EU Citizenship Report?
The EU Citizenship Report is an action plan with concrete action items to improve EU citizens' rights in a number of areas. This means making sure that EU citizens can effectively enjoy their rights in everyday life when working or studying, living, travelling or shopping in the EU and when participating in the EU's decision-making process.
In the 2013 Report, the Commission is putting forward 12 new actions in 6 key areas to remove obstacles to citizens' enjoyment of their EU rights.
Who does it aim to help? Are you receiving complaints from citizens?
The EU Citizenship Report is the Commission's response to the numerous calls from often frustrated EU citizens (students, workes, consumers, …) who have shared problems they have experienced when travelling, moving to or shopping in another EU country.
The Commission is acting to help all those EU citizens which in one way or another are exercising their rights but still face obstacles in their everyday lives. It also aims to help every European who wishes to be better informed about his/her rights and how to enforce them.
Each year, the Commission receives around 1 million enquiries through the Europe Direct information service from citizens around Europe about issues related to their rights (IP/13/234). The Your Europe portal also attracted a significantly increasing number of visitors (it had almost 4.3 million visitors in 2012, as compared with 2.4 million in 2011 and 1,5 million in 2010). Inquiries on free movement and residence constituted 21% of all queries submitted to Your Europe Advice in 2012 and 13% of total SOLVIT cases in 2012.
In addition, the annual report on the implementation of the EU's Fundamental Rights Charter (published in parallel to the EU Citizenship Report, see IP/13/411 & MEMO/13/411) revealed that during 2012, the Commission received over 3000 letters from citizens concerning fundamental rights issues.
Currently, over 13.6 million EU citizens live in a different Member State to that of which they are a national, and around 210 million travel each year within the European Union for business or leisure. Many of the proposals in this year's Citizenship report apply to all 500 million EU citizens.
How was the report prepared?
By asking citizens. Exactly one year ago, the European Commission launched one of the broadest ever public consultations online (IP/12/461). We asked the public to help shape Europe's future agenda with a series of questions about the obstacles they face in exercising their rights as EU citizens, be it when looking for a job, travelling in Europe, when voting or standing as a candidate in elections, or when shopping online. 12.000 citizens participated and the main results can be accessed here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/citizen/files/eu-citizen-brochure_en.pdf.
Hurdles to citizens exercising their EU rights have also been highlighted in the European Parliament's own initiative report on EU citizenship, Eurobarometer surveys on EU citizenship and electoral rights, the Committee of the Regions' recent study on obstacles to free movement and political rights and recent events such as the Committee of the Regions' Forum of 28 November 2012 and the hearing jointly organised by the European Parliament and the Commission on 19 February 2013.
EU Commissioners, together with European Parliamentarians and national and local politicians, have also been participating in Citizens' Dialogues in cities across Europe. During these dialogues many citizens have shared problems they have encountered and what solutions they would like to see. As part of the European Year of Citizens, these dialogues will continue throughout 2013.
Which problems have been identified?
There are six areas into which problems can be grouped and where the Commission is taking action:
1. Removing obstacles for workers and trainees in the EU
Citizens are calling for a true EU labour market enabling them to benefit from job opportunities available in the EU and contribute to the European economy. They also ask for initiatives making it possible for them to develop their skills and access quality training opportunities where available.
In the consultation on EU citizenship a majority of respondents (69%) considered that they should receive unemployment benefits for at least six months when looking for a job in another EU country.
Source: 2012 Public consultation on EU citizenship - Base: Respondents who had looked for a job in another EU country
Young people are also concerned that often a traineeship contract specifying the rights and obligations of the parties is still not compulsory in a number of EU countries (as many as 25% according to a 2011 survey by the European Youth Forum). This results often in low or no pay at all which discourages young people from pursuing traineeships in the EU. There is an urgent need to tackle these shortcomings and enhance opportunities for young people to develop their skills and acquire work experience abroad. This is necessary not only to address the concerns voiced by citizens, especially the young, but also to address dramatic levels of youth unemployment.
2. Cutting red tape in the Member States
Almost one in five of the respondents to the 2012 public consultation on EU citizenship who used their right to free movement experienced problems, often due to lengthy or unclear administrative procedures. Another problem was that local administrations were not always aware of citizens' free movement rights.
Source: 2012 Public consultation on EU citizenship - Base: Respondents who faced problems while moving or residing in another EU country
Citizens living in another EU country are also confronted with difficulties related to the use of their passports and identity documents. For instance, if their passport and ID card are stolen and they cannot get new ones in time to catch their flight, it might be a pragmatic solution for them to be able to use their registration certificates in order to travel within the EU. The Commission has also heard complains about citizens having to go back to their country of origin just to get a roadworthiness certificate for their car as Member States currently do not recognise each other's roadworthiness certificates. Today's Citizenship report offers solutions to exactly these problems.
3. Protecting the more vulnerable in the EU
In the consultations, citizens pointed to the specific difficulties people with disabilities (an estimated 80 million people in the EU) encounter when moving around the EU. Unlike parking cards for persons with disabilities (for which a common EU model was established almost fifteen years ago), disability cards giving access to transport, tourism, culture and leisure are often recognised only at national level.
Citizens also indicated that some citizens are more vulnerable when it comes to asserting their rights, in particular in criminal proceedings, due for instance to their young age or to their mental or physical condition.
4. Eliminating barriers to shopping in the EU
A quarter of Europeans who buy over the internet, order from sellers in other EU countries. However, in responses to the public consultation, one in four people encountered problems when shopping online. Consumers often miss crucial information when comparing or buying digital products (for example audio-visual downloads such as music, films or games). They are often unsure if they will be able to use the product on their device or judge the quality they will get.
5. Targeted and accessible information in the EU
Much has been done to improve citizens' awareness of their EU rights, in particular through the Europe Direct and Your Europe one-stop shop. One in three citizens (36%) now say they are well informed about their EU rights (see IP/13/119). Although this represents an improvement of 5 percentage points compared to 2007 it is still not enough. In addition 76% of respondents are not sure what they can do if their EU rights are not respected.
Source: 2013 Eurobarometer EU citizenship
6. Participating in the democratic life of the EU
Citizens question practices by which some Member States deprive their nationals of their right to vote in national elections because they have been living in another EU country for a certain period of time (disenfranchisement). Generally, a majority of Europeans thinks that EU citizens should not lose their right to vote in national elections in their country of nationality just because they have moved to another EU country.
Source: 2012 Public consultation on EU citizenship - Base: All respondents
How is the EU Citizenship report fixing these problems?
The Citizenship Report sets out 12 concrete actions to help Europeans make better use of their EU rights:
What has been achieved for EU Citizens since the last Citizenship Report in 2010?
In 2010, the first EU Citizenship Report outlined 25 concrete actions to remove obstacles to EU citizens' enjoyment of their EU rights in cross border situations. All actions put forward in 2010 have now been implemented (see progress table).
Actions taken include:
The Commission has also pursued a rigorous infringement policy against Member States to ensure that EU citizens can enjoy their right to free movement; that they can take advantage of their right to participate as voters and candidates in municipal and European Parliament elections and that they are not discriminated against on the grounds of nationality. A track record of the cases pursued by the Commission can be found in today's progress report towards effective EU Citizenship 2011-2013.
What are examples of such infringement actions?
1. On Free Movement Rights
Over the reporting period (1 January 2011 – 31 March 2013), the Commission took action to ensuring the full and effective transposition of the EU Free Movement Directive (2004/38/EC) by all Member States. As a result, the vast majority of Member States amended their laws, or committed themselves to doing so to comply with the rules on free movement.
In 2011, the Commission took action against twelve Member States (AT, BE, DE, CY, CZ, ES, IT, LT, MT, PL, SE, UK, IP/11/981). In 2012/early 2013, it sent reasoned opinions in seven of these twelve cases (CZ, LT, UK, AT, DE, SE and BE). As a result, so far, five Member States have amended their legislation or committed themselves to doing so (MT amended its legislation and ES, IT, PL and SE committed themselves to doing so by spring 2013). The main issues raised in the infringement proceedings concern the rights of entry and residence for family members of Union citizens, including same-sex spouses or partners, the conditions for issuing visas and residence cards to non-EU family members and the material and procedural safeguards against the expulsion of EU citizens.
Examples include: Denmark adopted new expulsion rules which entered into force in July 2011 and also applied to EU citizens, raising serious concerns about their compatibility with EU free movement rules. Following the Commission's intervention and contacts with the Danish government, the Aliens Act was amended in June 2012.
Another example are the cases relating to the registration of foreign double names. Following the Commission's action in 2010, Sweden amended its legislation in 2012 to allow for the registration of foreign double surnames for Swedish nationals. Also, the Commission took Belgium to court to enforce this same right for children born in Belgium of one Belgian parent and one parent from another Member State.
2. On Electoral Rights
EU citizens living in a Member State other than that of which they are nationals have the right to participate (as voters and candidates) in municipal and European Parliament elections in that country under the same conditions as its nationals.
In five cases, the Commission pursued dialogues with Member States on issues regarding the transposition of Directive 94/80/EC (right of EU citizens to participate in municipal elections) and in ten instances regarding the transposition of Directive 93/109/EC (right of EU citizens to participate in European elections). As a result, the Member States amended their legislation or announced amendments to comply with EU law1. The Commission will closely monitor delivery on these commitments and the full compliance of national laws.
In addition, the Commission contacted eleven Member States that did not allow non-national EU citizens to found or become members of political parties, which is contrary to Article 22 TFEU. In two cases (Germany and Malta), the situation was clarified, in one case (Bulgaria) national legislation was adopted in line with EU law and in another case (Finland) amendments were announced. Action was taken against the seven remaining Member States (CZ, ES, GR, LT, LV, PL and SK.).
3. On the principle of Non-Discrimination on grounds of nationality
Article 18 TFEU and Article 21(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights prohibit discrimination on grounds of nationality within the scope of application of the EU Treaties. Upholding this principle is an integral part of the Commission's role as the Guardian of the Treaties in ensuring the correct application of EU law in the various policy areas. Examples include:
In a series of actions brought against six Member States (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece and Luxembourg), the Commission contested national provisions reserving access to the notary profession to nationals of the Member State concerned. In its judgments of 24 May 2011, the Court of Justice agreed that such provisions were discriminatory on grounds of nationality and thus in breach of the Treaty (Cases C-53/08, C-47/08, C-50/08, C-54/08, C-61/08 and C-51/08).
In 2011, in another example the Commission took Austria to court because of a national rule granting reduced fares on public transport only to students whose parents were in receipt of Austrian family allowances. In its judgment of 4 October 2012, the Court supported the Commission's position, upholding the principle that EU students studying elsewhere in the EU have the same right to some benefits as local students (Case C-75/11).
In 2012, the Commission took action on problems encountered by non-Maltese EU citizens residing in Malta in accessing reduced water and electricity tariffs under the same conditions as those available to Maltese citizens.
What is the European Year for Citizens?
Citizens are and must be at the heart of European integration. To underscore this, the EU institutions made 2013 the European Year for Citizens – a year dedicate to you and your rights as a European citizen.
At a time when the EU is taking major steps towards a deep and genuine Economic and Monetary Union, of which democratic legitimacy is a cornerstone, with a Political Union on the horizon, it is all the more important to focus on the things the EU is doing to make citizens' lives easier, to help them understand their rights and involve them in a debate on the Europe they want to live in and build for future generations.
The Year will show how EU citizens can directly benefit from these rights, as well as from policies and programs that exist to support the enjoyment of these rights.
What are Citizens' Dialogues?
Throughout the year, members of the Commission will hold debates with citizens about their expectations for the future in Citizens' Dialogues (townhall meetings) all over the EU. Vice-President Reding has already held debates in Cádiz (Spain), in Graz (Austria), in Berlin (Germany), in Dublin (Ireland), in Coimbra (Portugal) and Thessaloniki (Greece). Commissioner Malmström took part in debates in Napoli (Italy), Torino (Italy) and Göteborg (Sweden). Commissioner Tajani held a debate in Rome (Italy), Commissioner Potočnik in Pisa (Italy) Commissioner De Gucht in Ghent (Belgium) and Commissioner Hahn in Eupen (Belgium). Several Members of the European Parliament have also participated in these debates, as well as national politicians such as the Mayors of Cadiz and Thessaloniki.
Many more Dialogues will be held all over the European Union throughout 2013 – which will see European, national and local politicians engaging in a debate with citizens from all walks of life. Follow all the debates here: http://ec.europa.eu/european-debate.
What happens next?
The Commission will implement the actions in the EU Citizenship Report during 2013 and 2014.
In addition, the results of the European Year for Citizens will help guide the Commission as it draws up plans for a future reform of the EU. One of the main purposes of the dialogues will also be to prepare the ground for the 2014 European elections.
Next year's elections to the European Parliament should be about European issues, and not about problems with national governments. There should be a more European dimension where voters choose both a national political party and a family of parties that are following a political line in Europe.
That is why the Commission is also taking steps to enhance the democratic legitimacy of European elections. At the beginning of March, the Commission asked political parties to name candidates for the Commission President post (see IP/13/215). The Commission would like to see a real European debate – with European Political Parties campaigning on a clear programme of their vision for the future of Europe.

Professor Reza Olfati-Saber, an expert on self-organizing complex systems, has been awarded a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the government's highest such honor. The award will support his research on the next generation of smart cars.
Professor Solomon Diamond '97 Th'98 was one of 53 early-career engineering educators chosen to participate in the National Academy of Engineering's Frontiers of Engineering Education symposium in December in Irvine, Calif. The program focused on ways to ensure that students learn skills necessary to be effective engineers or researchers.
ICECODE LLC founded by Professor Victor Petrenko, is one of five innovation award-winners in the 2010 GE Ecomagination Challenge. ICECODE was cited for a technology — using high-power pulses to apply heat from the inside — "that instantly de-ices wind turbine blades so they never slow or shut down."
The GE Ecomagination Challenge named SustainX Inc., founded in 2007 by Dax Kepshire Th'07 '09, Ben Bollinger '04 Th'04 '08, and Troy McBride Th'01 with the help of former Thayer Dean Charles Hutchinson, as one of 12 new partners selected for investment by GE "to develop and commercialize technologies vital to helping build the next-generation power grid."
Biomedical product development firm Simbex, led by founder and adjunct professor Rick Greenwald Th'88, will partner with Thayer School and the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice to create the Center for Translation of Rehabilitation Engineering Advances and Technology (TREAT). With a $3.4-million, five-year award from the National Institutes of Health, TREAT will offer technology assessment, intellectual property evaluation, concept prototyping and testing, market evaluation, and clinical trials development for rehabilitation technologies.
Recent B.E. students Devon Anderson Th'10, Jonathan Guerrette Th'10, and Nathan Niparko '09 Th'10 earned the second-place, $5,000 prize in the undergraduate category of the 2010 Collegiate Inventors Competition for the bioresorbable surgical sponge they created as a project for Thayer's design methodology course ENGS 190/290 (now known as ENGS 89/90). The team used a novel combination of materials, including cellulose and alginate, and a novel fabrication method involving electrospinning to create a sponge that, if accidentally left in a patient's body during surgery, breaks down into harmless substances that can be absorbed by the body. Anderson, now a visiting research assistant at Thayer, and Guerrette, a master's candidate, are continuing research on the sponge.
Master's candidate Lucas Ellis co-chairs the Next Generation Scientists for Biodiesel initiative, formed to increase support for biodiesel among tomorrow's scientific leaders. Chosen for the position by the National Biodiesel Board, Ellis will help create a forum where students can collaborate and share ideas, including through virtual conferences and Facebook exchanges.
A team of Dartmouth students was recently selected to participate in NASA's 2011 Microgravity University, a program that allows university students to perform research in a zero-g environment similar to that experienced by astronauts.
The team will fly aboard an aircraft that performs a series of parabolic arcs to simulate spaceflight. Four team members, B.E. candidates Sean Currey '11, Broghan Cully '11, Maxwell Fagin, and Michael Kellar, will test their ENGS 89/90 (formerly 190/290) project, which is sponsored by NASA's Glenn Research Center. The project is a condensing heat exchanger that uses porous graphite to extract moisture from spacecraft cabins. Julianna Scheiman '11 and William Voigt, a dual-degree student, will also be aboard. NASA has also featured Currey's summer internship work on alternative fuels.
A Dartmouth Outing Club crew led by Greg Sokol '10 Th'11 spent last summer rebuilding Titcomb Cabin, located on the Connecticut River's Gilman Island about a mile downriver from campus. The original cabin, which was built in 1952, burned down in a May 2009 fire. The crew floated nearly all the construction materials — including almost 100 logs harvested from a College-owned lot — to the island via canoes and boats.
This spring the crew plans to finish the loft and install windows, a door, and a woodstove. "Working with fellow engineers was great — the project is what it is only because of their abilities and their willingness to learn and pick up new skills," Sokol says. "The trickiest part of the cabin was probably putting the last log on. The roof is supported by five logs called purlins which run the length of the roof. The one that supports the peak of the roof, the ridge pole, is the largest log we had, with a 21-inch diameter at the butt. It needed to be raised up carefully with a chain hoist and positioned perfectly onto four supporting posts. I think we had 15 to 20 volunteers that day helping steady the log as it was lowered into place." Read the crew's blog at rebuildingtitcomb.blogspot.com.
A Formula Hybrid exhibition competition will be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 7 as part of the 100th Anniversary Indy 500 Emerging Tech Day. The exhibition follows the fourth annual Thayer-organized Formula Hybrid International Competition, which takes place May 1–4 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H. Meanwhile, you can follow the progress of this year's Formula Hybrid teams in a new blog written by veteran racing writer Gordon Kirby.
Three groups from Thayer participated in the USA Science and Engineering Festival, held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on October 23 and 24. Professor Mary Albert, Ice Drilling Program Office educational outreach coordinator Linda Morris, Thayer Ph.D. candidate Kaitlin Keegan, B.E. candidate Casey Stelmach '10, and three Dartmouth earth sciences grad students presented Polar Detectives, an interactive exhibit about ice core research and climate change.
Professor Solomon Diamond '97 Th'98 and Ph.D. candidates Broc Burke, Mohammed Talukdar, and Katherine Perdue presented Biosignals! Synchronizing Rhythms in the Human Body, about what scientists are discovering about the brain's function in synchronizing our biological rhythms.
B.E. candidate Elizabeth Dain-Owens '10 was among the crew of the Big Green Bus discussing energy efficiency and alternative fuels.

Brent High has been named Assistant Director of Athletics for Development for Lipscomb University. High, a 1996 graduate of Lipscomb and former Bison baseball player, will focus on fundraising, corporate sponsorships, season tickets, group sales and other revenue-generating initiatives.
"The addition of Brent High to our athletic administrative staff is an important step in the continuing development of our NCAA Division I program," said Dr. Steve Potts, Lipscomb's director of athletics. "Brent has significant experience in the areas of athletic development, marketing and promotion and an overwhelming creative and enthusiastic nature.
"Most importantly, Brent shares the commitment to the Christian mission of Lipscomb University and its integration into our athletic program. We are so pleased to welcome him to our staff."
High will retain his position as president and partner in Third Coast Sports which has held "Faith Night" events with more than 50 professional sports teams including the Atlanta Braves and Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball.
The events, which target Christian church groups, have been featured on the covers of USA Today, The New York Times and The San Francisco Chronicle as well as on national broadcast outlets including NBC Nightly News, CBS Evening News, ABC World News Tonight, Fox News Channel, CNN, ESPN's Outside the Lines, ESPN2's Cold Pizza, The Paul Harvey Show, The 700 Club, Gospel Music Channel and National Public Radio. In 2006 Associated Press featured Third Coast Sports in a piece that ran in over 200 newspapers on four continents.
"Lipscomb has been a blessing to me in more ways than I can count," said High. "I met my wife and many of my lifelong friends here. Now it's my goal to help make an eternal difference in the lives of the athletes and coaches that put on the purple and gold. There are so many great things happening here right now. I'm just honored to play a small role in the wave that I think will carry Lipscomb to unprecedented heights."
High previously served as vice president of sales for the Nashville Sounds minor league baseball team, vice president of operations for Jabez Networks, Inc. and as youth minister for the White House Church of Christ in White House, Tenn. He began his career as sports information and marketing director for the Lipscomb athletic department.
