Mali warned of 'human rights chaos' by Amnesty
Mali risks sliding into "human rights chaos", Amnesty International has warned.
The army has been involved in extra-judicial killings, torture and sexual abuse since staging a coup in March, it says, demanding an investigation.
The military has handed power to a civilian-led interim government, but it still wields enormous influence.
Mali was split in two following the coup, with the north controlled by Islamist and Tuareg rebel forces.
Meanwhile, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has visited 79 military personnel held by the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) rebel group, it said.
The visit was intended to relieve months of isolation for prisoners, ICRC Mali head Jean-Nicolas Marti is quoted by the AP news agency as saying.
'Cigarettes in ears'
In a report following a visit to Mali, Amnesty said it had met a police officer who alleged that he had been arrested and sodomised on the orders of soldiers.
"We were four. They asked us to undress completely. We were ordered to sodomise each other. Otherwise they would execute us," the officer is quoted by Amnesty as saying.
At least 21 soldiers have been missing since they were arrested for allegedly trying to stage a counter-coup in April, Amnesty said.
It added that prisoners were forced into making confessions after being tortured - their hands and feet were tied, a cloth was stuffed into their mouths and cigarettes were extinguished in their ears.
"These vengeful acts fly in the face of Mali's international human rights obligations and action must be taken to ensure the military junta doesn't continue to operate with impunity," Amnesty said.
The military staged the coup after accusing the government of failing to quell a rebellion in the north.
But the Tuareg rebels and militant Islamists took advantage of the chaos following the coup and captured large parts of the north.
Militant Islamists have destroyed ancient shrines in the city of Timbuktu, ignoring warnings by the UN and other groups that they were committing war crimes.

Rs 885-crore Ujjivan IPO is oversubscribed
The Rs 885-crore public issue received bids for 3,61,64,170 shares against the total issue size of 2,96,63,706 shares
01:34 pm
The IPO of microfinance player Ujjivan Financial Services has been oversubscribed 1.22 times during the morning trade on the last day of the offer.
The Rs 885-crore public issue received bids for 3,61,64,170 shares against the total issue size of 2,96,63,706 shares, data available with the NSE till 1030 hours showed.
Ujjivan's issue, which is scheduled to close on Monday, comprises fresh issuance of shares worth Rs 358.16 crore and an offer for sale of up to 24,968,332 shares by the existing shareholders.
Price band for the offer has been fixed at Rs 207-210.
Ujjivan raised nearly Rs 265 crore from anchor investors by selling shares at a price of Rs 210 apiece.
The company, which has already received in-principle nod to set up a small finance bank, is the second microfinance firm to go public this fiscal. Another microfinance firm Equitas Holdings came out with its IPO last month.
This is also the third microfinance firm to go public.
The share sale would help Ujjivan bring down the foreign shareholding to around 45 per cent from the current 77 per cent, which is required as per RBI guidelines for setting up a small finance bank.
The issue is being managed by Kotak Mahindra Capital Company, Axis Capital, ICICI Securities and IIFL Holdings.

Meeting the growing demands on the nation's health-care workforce
Posted Jan. 30, 2013
By the time the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing's first commencement ceremony took place, more than one-third of the graduating class had already received job promotions or new positions. That included Charley Johnston, who was promoted in January 2012 from staff nurse in UC Davis Medical Center's surgical intensive care unit to a newly formed Quality and Safety Nurse Champion position in the burn unit, where he acts as adviser to health-care colleagues on how to curb and prevent hospital-acquired infections.
"The graduate program at the School of Nursing strengthened my skills as a leader, a communicator and an educator," Johnston says. "These enhanced abilities prepared me to act as a multidisciplinary change-agent in my new role."
First graduates
In June 2012, Johnston officially received, with 24 other students, the first Master of Science degrees bestowed by UC Davis' Nursing Science and Health-Care Leadership Graduate Degree Program — one of many educational "firsts" this year for the schools, departments and programs of UC Davis Health System.
The Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing was established with a $100 million commitment from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation — the nation's largest grant for nursing education. The vision is to transform health care through nursing education, research and leadership by preparing nursing leaders who advance health, improve quality of care and health outcomes, and develop bold system change with confidence and creative solutions.
"The commencement ceremony represents the beginning of the exponential impact that the nursing graduates will make on the future of health care, and creates a ripple effect that will influence colleagues, programs, patients and future students," says Heather M. Young, associate vice chancellor for nursing at UC Davis and founding dean of the nursing school.
"The commencement ceremony represents the beginning of the exponential impact that the nursing graduates will make on the future of health care, and creates a ripple effect that will influence colleagues, programs, patients and future students."
— Heather Young
Addressing health-care access
Rural-PRIME (Programs In Medical Education) graduated this year its first students completing the five-year M.D./community advocate program that launched in 2007. A combined M.D. and master's degree program, Rural-PRIME was developed to address the lack of health-care access and reduce health-care disparities in rural populations. By combining team medical practice and utilizing advanced information and technologies, such as telemedicine, students can provide up-to-date health-care knowledge while preserving the positive attributes of smaller, more remote clinics and their communities.
The 2012 graduates broke further ground with Rural-PRIME's 16-week immersion program in rural clerkship rotations during their third year of training. The rotations included eight weeks in primary care and four weeks each in obstetrics/gynecology and pediatrics.
"It really took a leap of faith, demonstrating their commitment to rural, underserved populations in California," says W. Suzanne Eidson-Ton, Rural-PRIME's program director.
Rural-PRIME's graduates are matched into residencies in emergency medicine, family medicine, primary care and psychiatry.
Innovations in education
Following the health system's tradition of innovation, other educational "firsts" include:
- The Office of Student Wellness, designed to help medical students improve and maintain physical and emotional wellness, developed a program to assist new medical students, families and friends to understand the physical and emotional pressures inherent in attending medical school. Those open channels of communication — such as the program's first workshop, held after the 2012 induction ceremony and attended by more than 200 people — may especially benefit families of students who are members of communities underrepresented in medicine, who arrive with a diversity of cultural expectations regarding schooling, medicine and family obligations. Almost half of the 109 students in the class of 2016 self-identified as coming from disadvantaged backgrounds, and 42 percent are from populations underrepresented in medicine.
- The pioneering "Master Clinical Educators" program launched with five inaugural faculty members, who each spend one day a week in assigned teaching activities that emphasize core clerkships and clinical-skills coursework and simulations. Faculty also are planning to focus class time on interactive discussions and problem-solving, while providing instructional lectures on video, available to students 24/7.
- Students and residents are proactive in reinforcing the health system's commitment to system-wide quality improvement through identifying and developing opportunities and quality-related practices in education. For example, the Quality Improvement Student Interest Group contributed to the creation of a new interprofessional study module called "Improving Quality in Health Care," in which medicine, nursing, public health and health informatics students will enhance skills necessary to identify and address health-care quality issues and to improve efficiency, outcomes and satisfaction.
- Medical residents are standardizing practices for the transition of patient care, to enhance quality and safety by ensuring effective communication during the "hand-off" process.
Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis
For 100 years, UC Davis has engaged in teaching, research and public service that matters to California and beyond. The Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis was established in March 2009, UC Davis' first major initiative to address society's most pressing health-care problems in its second century of service. Learn more about the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing.
With 40 years of "firsts," UC Davis Health System continues to be a leader in new and transformational education and training models to prepare every student to effect real-world change, while remaining true to its core values of academic excellence and improving health for all.
"The interprofessional education that I received makes me feel proud to be a graduate of the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis as well as a current employee at UC Davis Medical Center," says Johnston.
"Working together across disciplines is the future of health care, and the innovative approach to educating future health-care providers at UC Davis helps to make all that possible."

Interval of convergence in a power series is the set of all values of a particular variable, usually x, for which the series converges. To determine the interval of convergence, the ratio test must be conducted, and the radius of convergence calculated.
For a given power series, finding the interval of convergence starts with the ratio test, which involves calculating a value L. To do this on a given power series presented as a function of x, all of the values of n must be increased by one and the entire term multiplied by the reciprocal of the original function. The value L is equal to the limit of the absolute value of the product of the two functions as n approaches infinity. The radius of convergence is determined by getting the orientation of the elements in the series. The power series will converge if L is less than one, and diverge if L is greater than one.
Finally, to find the interval of convergence, the conditions set in the radius of convergence should be converted to an inequality that produces two endpoints. Both endpoints will be plugged into the original power series to determine if the series diverges or converges at these two points. The resulting interval of convergence is presented in the form of an inequality that represents the power series.

Week of Mar. 16
Stepping Up to God's Call Has God ever called you to a difficult task? Maybe you were led to witness to a friend or family member who was resistant to the Gospel. Or perhaps God wanted you to lead a Bible study or small group. How did you feel? Were you frightened, nervous, hesitant—or all of the above? God knows that our human emotions can sometimes hold us back, and that is why our Great Provider gives us all the encouragement we need to do His work.
God will not give us an assignment and then just walk away to let us do the work alone. He provides the resources we need to get the job done. He walks with us every step of the way, guiding us and encouraging us. He will never abandon us when we allow Him to work through us. In the words of the psalmist, "You hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel" (Psalm 73:23–24).
Read Joshua 1. In this passage, we see God encouraging Joshua just before he is about to cross the raging Jordan River into the Promised Land. As the new leader of the Israelites, Joshua was in need of some encouragement. Not just once, but three times, God strengthens Joshua.
First, God gave an encouraging promise to Joshua: "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them" (Joshua 1:6).
Joshua knew he would ultimately have victory because God promised the end result. When God makes a promise, we can be fully confident that He will never fail us. We can find comfort and strength in the promises of God: "I rejoice in your promise like one who finds great spoil" (Psalm 119:162). When we trust in the promises of God, we will have confidence to overcome any worry about the obstacles, rejections, or critics we will face.
After the promise, God encouraged Joshua through His Word: "Be strong and very courageous. … Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful" (Joshua 1:7, 8).
True prosperity and success come from holding tenaciously to the Word of God. This doesn't mean we won't face setbacks or opposition in our work for the Lord. It doesn't mean that every person we share the Gospel with will want to listen. But ultimately we will be on the right path when we follow God's Word. As Scripture says: "Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble" (Psalm 119:165).
The third encouragement for Joshua came from the presence of God. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9).
Even more than God's promises or His written Word, we have the presence of God. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me" (Psalm 23:4). When we make our relationship with God a daily priority, when we consistently seek and listen to His voice, when we trust in Him moment by moment, then God will give us the victory.
What witnessing opportunity has God called you to today? Is it your neighbor with the hardened heart? Or the colleague who thinks he doesn't need faith? What about the friend who is skeptical of a Creator? Write the name of that person below. Then write how God's promises, Word, and presence will lead you through the task.
Don't be tempted to toss in the towel and give up running the race. Shore up your confidence in God, today. Michael Youssef explores this topic in our free resource this month—"Don't Lose Your Confidence." Download it today.

Double bevel lettering chisels designed by master carver Chris Pye and made by Auriou Toolworks in France. These tools are forged the traditional way: by hammering a steel blank to length before profiling. This process not only develops the best grain structure for holding a fine edge, but also allows the tools to be thinner and lighter but still strong.
As opposed to heavier, parallel-sided chisels, the Allongee style blades taper from shoulder to tip, reducing overall weight. This, combined with a very slim blade section, results in a tool that is light, strong, and easy to handle.
"An absolute joy to use -- pretty much everything you need for carving the strata itself in most type selection." – Chris Pye
This set includes seven widths: 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, and 45mm.
Octagonal, Maple handles with Brass ferrules.

Messi contra el Sevilla / FOTO: MIGUEL RUIZ - FCB
Despite the 56 shots taken in three games; 19 on target against Viktoria (18 shots, 5 on target), Sevilla (21 shots, 7 on target) and Granada (17 shots, 7 on target), only three resulted in goals for FC Barcelona. That's the only thing that's been wrong with the team in recent games– they are creating chances but not converting them. Against Mallorca, with the Camp Nou behind them, they have the perfect opportunity to set that record straight. The goals will come today, that's for sure.
Piqué and Puyol ready
The team has been better than ever in defence, and Victor Valdés has made seven straight clean sheets. Not since Pablo found the net at Mestalla have FCB conceded a goal, and with Piqué and Puyol both declared fit on Friday, the back line should be even stronger. Oddly enough, Mascherano is the player that has played the most minutes this season in the centre of the Barcelona defence, where the Argentinian has been doing an excellent job in an unfamiliar position.
First game without Pedro
But it's not all good news. The Mallorca game will be the first in which Guardiola will have to find a solution for the missing Pedro Rodríguez, who got injured midweek at Granada. The Canary Islander has played every game so far this season. Both Afellay and Alexis are sidelined too, so young Isaac Cuenca, a similarly attack-minded player, has been training with the first team for the last few days. But with 19 players to choose from, one of those will have to be dropped from the squad on Saturday evening.
No away wins
Joaquín Caparrós, the new manager at Mallorca, is bringing 18 players for the game at the Camp Nou. The Balearic Islanders have yet to record win on the road this season, but have managed to pick up a couple of draws. They're currently lying in thirteenth place, but just two points ahead of the relegation zone.

Meet The Couple
When asked about their first kiss, Emily simply stated, "It was awesome, perfect, and in a hammock." This, almost completely, describes the relationship between Trevor and Emily. These two love birds met in Utah in January of 2011; her first memory of Trevor being him "showing off" on the piano playing "Great Balls of Fire" during a church choir practice.They began dating in August of 2011 when Emily invited Trevor to go running with her. It wasn't long after that until they, and anyone within two feet of them, knew that they were meant for each other. In a way, Emily's sweetness and Trevor's (sometimes described as annoying by his siblings) habit of knowing everything about just about everything, strikes a balance between the two, making it easy to love one another.
Trevor proposed to Emily at a picnic at the Corona Del Mar beach. His family can remember his eagerness as he whisked her off to this specially planned picnic after an 8 hour drive from Utah to California to visit his family, unable to wait another day.
The couple was married six months latter in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint's Maryland Temple on May 4th.
Little Details
For her bridal's Emily used big sunflowers that really just match her beaming personality. Then on her wedding day her bouquet was made of Lily of the Valley and were arranged by a close friend.
She wanted to keep things simple and pretty, so her colors were sage green, cream, and coral pink. She had her bridesmaids pick out their own dresses in cream and had her family dress in cream also.
The ceremony was the most important part for them and as Emily indicated, "It went perfectly". They were most grateful to have so much family and friends present, especially since they decided to have the wedding in Emily's hometown in Maryland and all of Trevor's family were on the west coast.
At the reception they had these adorable bird "you and I" cake toppers and a cake trimmed in Lily of the valley.
At the reception, they upheld quite a few of wedding traditions including cutting the cake, the father daughter and mother and son dance, the first dance, and even a money dance! They also did a bouquet toss and a garter toss, both were caught by the maid of honor and the best man!
They even included a poster cut out of Trevor's brother who was unable to attend the wedding since he was serving a mission for his church. This is a great way to have those important family members who can't make it to the wedding feel like they are a part of everything!
A Second Reception
Then, because the families lived on opposite coasts, the couple had a second reception or open house at the Fenn's residence in California so that more of Trevor's family and friends could attend.
Instead of cake, they decided to serve mini pies! They were made by a personal friend of Trevor's mother.
The reception decorations were done by family and friends, as were the photography at both wedding receptions.
To The Present
Now the happy couple has just recently celebrated their second year of marriage, Trevor is nearing the completion of his first degree, and the two are expecting a baby girl this July! A big thanks to Trevor and Emily for sharing their wedding with us and with future brides. We wish you all the best!
Share your wedding with Wedding Collectibles and let us tell your story and share your wedding ideas!

Riverside County Sherrif's Dept.Oh, Rodney King. Rodney, Rodney, Rodney. Another arrest, really? A suspected DUI again? Sigh ... I know much of the world has already given up hope on you. It's pretty obvious just by reading Twitter today. This kind of criminal behavior is exactly what people now expect to hear when they see your name trending. But is that how you want your life to be? Are you already resolved? Have you given up entirely?
I mean, we all make mistakes, but many of us learn from them and go on to make better decisions the next time. This does not seem to be the case with you, and I think you're forgetting that there is a solution.
Rodney, since your horrific police beating in 1991, you have had several other run-ins with the law -- you drove your car into a house while on PCP, drove a car into a building while drunk, you threatened your daughter and ex-girlfriend, punched your girlfriend, hit your wife with a car, and you were cited in March for driving with an expired license (not even sure why you have one, but that's a different story ...). And now this suspected DUI yesterday. Of course, it could have been drugs. It's still not clear.
Surely, you're already well versed in the lengthy list of your bad behavior. I'm sure this list runs through your mind on a regular basis, which is why you try to quiet that mind with drugs and alcohol. This is precisely the kind of ugly list that keeps us drunk and using. Because we can't face the things we've done, we drink more and more and eventually end up adding even more awful things to these dreaded lists. But in this dreaded list, there is also a VERY clear common denominator -- and that's you + drugs/alcohol = detestable Rodney.
We know you've done several rehab stints, including a public one on Celebrity Rehab, but it is time, again, Rodney. Put your ego in your pocket. Your tail between your legs. Get thee to a 12-Step Program. If not for yourself, if that is simply not enough, then for your kids and to keep that list from growing any longer. It's time to stop. Time to surrender, my man.
Have you given up on Rodney King?

"Jersey Boys" is no longer playing the Loop theater district, but there's another show on State Street, and it lets you see one of Chicago's architectural masterworks as you've never seen it before.
Take a stroll by and you'll glimpse the ravishing, freshly restored cast-iron decoration that adorns the first two floors of architect Louis Sullivan's former Carson Pirie Scott & Co. store, a city and national landmark that took its definitive form between 1899 and 1906.
Currently in its final stages, the city-backed restoration of the revered structure comes amid reports that discount retailer Target Corp. is in talks with the building's beleaguered owner, Joseph Freed and Associates, to occupy its vacant retail space.
Who knows if that will happen? A fistful of prospective tenants, including upscale grocer Fox & Obel, has never panned out. And on Friday, a judge forced Freed, also the developer of the mostly-empty Block 37 mall, to hand over that project to a court-appointed receiver.
For now, with the State Street scaffolding removed after nearly three years of painstaking work, we can finally reacquaint ourselves with Sullivan's beloved naturalistic ornament and its depictions of swirling leaves, vines and berries. It wraps around the building's first- and second-floor windows like the frame of an old master painting.
The decoration has been painted a rich green, replacing the red-green mix from a 1980 rehab. In addition, all of the glass on the first two floors, including the curving panes in the graceful rotunda at the corner of State and Madison streets, is new. The result is an arresting transparency, particularly on the first floor, where there used to be showroom windows.
Now you can see right through to the building's forest of interior columns and their ornate capitals. If you press your nose to the glass, you might even spy large pieces of Sullivan's ornament, resting on wood stands as they are readied to be put back onto the Madison facade. They suggest the fragments of a symphony, waiting to be joined to an even greater whole.
The project marks the culminating step in Freed's $190 million restoration of the nine-building Carson Pirie Scott & Co. complex on the block bounded by State, Madison and Monroe streets and Wabash Avenue. Fittingly, it is now called the Sullivan Center, in honor of the star-crossed architect, who died penniless and without work in 1924.
Located at 1 S. State St., the Sullivan-designed former department store is the complex's most prominent structure -- a uniquely American departure from earlier retail establishments such as the palacelike, former Marshall Field & Co. store that were modeled on European precedents.
The first phase of the restoration, finished in 2006, converted the upper floors of the then-still-operating Carson Pirie Scott & Co. store into offices and re-created the building's long-missing decorative cornice. In 2007, Carson Pirie Scott shuttered its State Street store. Last year saw the restoration of three historic facades along Wabash, including two by Sullivan. And now, Chicago's Harboe Architects is almost done rehabbing the Sullivan Center's distinctive cast-iron facade, ending a giant jigsaw puzzle game that entailed the removal, repair and repainting of more than 5,000 pieces of the heavyweight metal.
Nearly all of the pieces were reused, and they are now joined to a new steel intermediate structure attached to the building's original steel frame. Look closely at the building's rotunda and you can see Sullivan's initials -- LHS (the "H" stood for "Henri") -- in the thicket of cast-iron. Also visible: the silvery, still-to-be-painted-green heads of the screws that hold the cast-iron pieces in place.
State and city landmark officials wisely granted the architects flexibility in the revamp of the building's first-floor windows.
Originally, the windows consisted of huge sheets of polished plate glass, topped by a row of smaller, prism windows that threw sunlight deep into the building. Reproducing either feature would have been prohibitively expensive. Instead, for the main windows, the architects specified two large pieces of glass supported by an interior glass fin. A thin row of windows is directly above.
The outcome is not an exact re-creation of Sullivan's original and eliminates the sense of texture and pronounced horizontality once provided by the prism windows. But it's the best the architects could do within the limits of a commercial budget -- certainly better than subdividing the windows with thin metal posts. And the transoms provide a place for potential tenants to display signs that will be visible through the glass.
"This is a 2010 restoration. We wanted to get the image on the outside as close (to the original) as it could be," said the chief restoration architect T. "Gunny" Harboe, who worked on the job with project architect Bob Score.
To date, though its offices are nearly 80 percent full, the Sullivan Center has just one retail tenant. The scaffolding on the Wabash facade isn't expected to come down until March. But even with its first and second floors vacant -- or perhaps because they are vacant -- the old Carson Pirie Scott & Co. store looks better than it has in a century. It's pure structure, stripped of clutter, a potentially vital organism -- in short, a landmark ready to be reborn.

Air tools or pneumatic tools are tools powered by compressed air, with pressure that is greater than the pressure of the atmosphere. When compressed air is expanded to a lower pressure, it is able to push a piston, as in a jackhammer; go through a small air turbine to turn a shaft, as in a high-speed dental drill; be expanded through a nozzle to produce a high-speed jet, as in a paint sprayer, etc.
Major types of air tools include:
- Drills
- Wrenches
- Grinders
- Chipping hammers
- Sander
- Screwdriver
- Trimmer
- Riveting guns
- Rock drills
- Paint sprayers
- Sandblasting machines
- Clay and trench diggers
- Sand rammers
- Paving breakers
- Nailers
- Staplers
Air tools are commonly cheaper and safer to run and maintain than power tools because its working mechanism is simpler than complicated electric motors. Light to heavy production industries such as mechanics, large production workshops, factories, assembly lines, etc., tend to use air tools for its massive power output.
AIRSUPPLY air tools range is aimed for trade use and affordable. Complimented with an extensive range of air accessories, AIRSUPPLY is the brand for compressed air needs.
AIRSUPPLY is a dedicated brand to serve the compressed air equipment market. The range is continuously growing, so as to achieve its aim of providing one-stop shopping experience for all compressed air equipment needs at competitive prices and without compromising quality. AIRSUPPLY is brought to users by Linkrich, an Australian owned company dedicated in supplying tools and machinery directly to the Australian market.

Ross Thomas
My name is Ross Thomas from South Wales, United Kingdom. I was born 25/06/95 and currently the Drummer of a Band called "Helldown"; I have been playing drums since I was 6. The main reason I got into drums was because I saw Lar Ulrich's kit from an old recording my father had on VHS and I fell in love.
Since being young, I've only had two different drum kits, starting on a CB beginner kit to a TAMA Hyperdrive Drumset at the age of 16 for which I bought from savings of my first job in Engineering. When I first learnt to play, I had drum lessons for a number of years but the repetition became insanely tedious; I took it upon myself to develop my playing by ear using vinyl records and videos of bands that my parents had in their collection.
I am a Thrash/Groove drummer with hints of Glam Metal by look. My main influences are: Dave Lombardo, Vinnie Paul, Nicko Mcbrain, Gene Hoglan, Stet Howland, Ingo Schwichtenberg, Charlie Benante and Mikkey Dee. I have recently started teaching drums to beginners and hope to carry on teaching as not only is it teaching others, it's also improving my own playing and understanding. I am also currently Endorsed by Agner Drumsticks & Cymskin Protection.
We give you relentless power and aggression with our Thrash/Groove sound. In some of our reviews we have been described as "Slayer meets Pantera" and more recently "The New Wave of British Trash Metal".
There are a huge number of influences that come into this band, to name a few we have - Motorhead, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Guns N Roses, Motley Crue, Slayer, Thin Lizzy, Venom, WASP, Exodus, Manowar, Machine Head, Helloween and many more.
We have been privileged to share the stage with bands such as Phil Campbell, Toxic Holocaust, Exhumed, Xerath, Malignancy, Skreamer and more to come.
Originally formed by guitarist and songwriter Matthew Evans. Then not long afterwards his brother Ben Evans joined the band as bassist and singer. After a long search and putting up many ads Helldown finally found a drummer by the name of Ross Thomas. And after another long search for a lead guitarist, Chris Driscoll joins the band as the fourth and final member.
Within our live sets we set out to please the crowd by not only playing our own original songs, but also by playing a range of covers by our influences, for example we usually add a Slayer or Metallica song into the set, like Creeping Death or Raining Blood & Black Magic.

We're back with our weekly series with Digitally Imported, The Digitally Imported Dial, where we highlight some of the best channels and shows available on the Web's premier electronic music streaming radio platform. Every channel is curated by hand, so we're hearing from the men and women behind the scenes how they bring us the music we love.
In the lineup of Digitally Imported's almost 90 channels of electronic music, House is an absolutely essential offering. DI House has been around for over a decade now, and recently got back its original curator, Jolene Poydar, as the channel director. Learn about her Missouri house roots, the sound she feels defines "house," and more in our interview below.
Perhaps surprisingly, Jolene first fell in love with house music in Missouri:
I'm originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. During college, I lived in Missouri and London. After a brief return to SF, I was drawn to New York and have been here ever since. The ironic thing is, I discovered and fell in love with house music in Missouri. There was a tiny, dark club that had a DJ from Chicago and he would play house music every weekend — and every weekend, I was there to dance. It's still how I like my house music: in a sweaty, small, dark club. I started DJing in college, back when there weren't many female DJs. When I moved to NY, I had to take a break for a few years because I couldn't afford rent AND records! But eventually, I found my way back and chose DJing for a career. In New York, I've played bigger clubs and had residencies at bars and clubs all over town. I've also traveled to different parts of the globe to DJ.
Jolene's house tastes were originally gleaned from the Chicago curators of the sound:
My house appreciation was formed by the Chicago sound. I still always veer towards a raw, sexy track with a real funky bassline. With that said, there are so many other beautiful forms of house music. I'm influenced by Frankie Knuckles' melodic keyboards, snippets of Tony Humphries' gospel vocals, Jeno's (Wicked Crew) selection of psychedelic instrumentals, and Naked Music's funky guitars. As long as it has a smart song structure and makes me feel something, chances are it will end up on the DI House channel. But as our fan base has pointed out, I truly can't say "no" to a funky bassline.
Jolene was the founder of the DI House channel, and has recently taken the reins once again:
I was the founder of the house channel back in 2002, and painstakingly encoded all of my music from vinyl to mp3s. After five years, I had to step down because of my hectic schedule. I've just recently become channel manager again! So if I may be so bold, I'd say that my new monthly show "Colorsplash Mixes" featuring DJ Jolene premiering on Sept. 2 at 1 p.m. would be my favorite (every 4th Wednesday)!
Fred Everything and Maxxi Soundsystem are some of Jolene's favorite artists to play on the channel:
I'm drawn to producers that have an intelligent musical background. Fred Everything, Olivier Desmet, Maxxi Soundsystem, Giom, Inland Knights, Johnny Fiasco, Charles Webster, and Jimpster are my top picks, to name a few.
Jolene also gave us a list of some of the best tracks she's found while curating the DI House channel:
There are some songs that simply stop me in my tracks and force me to listen. Here are a few that have done just that:
Logic Box – Liquid
Furry Phreaks ft. Terra Deva – Want Me (Like Water)
Roots & Wings – Come Over To My Place
Nice 7 – Time To Get Physical
Asadinho & Ingrid Hakanson – Love Capacity (Lonely Boys Max Capacity Rework)
We asked how Jolene stays involved in listener feedback, and how she knows what the audience enjoys most:
That's an interesting question because I've just recently re-adopted the channel. I am currently listening to the channel along with the listeners to see which songs fit into my concept of the DI House channel overall. There will be some fine tuning over the next couple of months to make sure that it is staying true to the house sound. Listener votes and comments hugely influence what needs to be kept or taken off, and where the channel will head in the future.
Most of the artists on DI House are underrated, in Jolene's opinion:
Because I select underground house music, I'd say most everyone on the playlist is underrated. But there is something truly inspiring about people producing music for the love of the music alone. I think, somehow, it makes for the best house music possible.

Our resident tipster is playing up his Wednesday winnings on a couple of progressive fillies in action on Town Moor.
A couple of Wednesday winners – Cotai Glory and Gannicus (hope you were on?) – mean we go into the second day of the Ladbrokes St Leger Festival in front and I'm in no rush to give it back on what looks a tricky Thursday card.
One horse who merits an interest, though, is the Luca Cumani-trained KOORA on what is not a great Park Hill Stakes on paper. Saeed Bin Suroor's Hidden Gold is the top-rated runner and she deserves plenty of respect on her recent placed efforts; a second to Simple Verse in the Lilly Langtry Stakes at Glorious Goodwood and third in the Lonsdale Cup at the Ebor meeting. However, the selection may well improve past her.
The daughter of Pivotal is certainly bred for Town Moor being a half-sister to Milan, the winner of the 2001 St Leger, and she appeared to be going the right way when finishing runner-up to Martlet in what looked a strong renewal of the Listed Galtres Stakes at York last month, having won a maiden at this track previously. The handicapper was clearly impressed by that effort as she went up a whopping 18lb, effectively ruling out handicaps, and hence she is pitched into Group company here.
She needs to improve again to land this, admittedly, but her recent homework has been outstanding and she very much fits the mould of recent winners, being a late developing three-year-old who has yet to score at this level. Indeed, Cumani sent out a similar type in Silk Safari to land this race 12 months ago and she was only his second runner, so he will have a good idea of what required. Jamie Spencer takes the ride and the partnership look fair value at 9/2.
Charlie Hills, the trainer of Cotai Glory, clearly has his string in fine form and his Kyoshi must have solid claims in the seven-furlong Sceptre Stakes, a race she won 12 months ago. Like last year, she's been slow to come to hand but there were signs of an imminent return to form at York last time and she comes into this relatively fresh, which can't be said for some of her rivals
However, unlike last year, she does not have the generous three-year-old allowance on her side and it seems prudent to concentrate on the Classic generation, which has supplied nine of the last ten winners and is strongly represented this time. Charlie Appleby's Mistrusting being one such horse and she is chasing a hat-trick here following handicap wins at Newmarket and York, but I much prefer the chances of FADHAYYIL, who is trained by Charlie's father Barry.
Much was expected of the daughter of Tamayuz this season after an impressive juvenile campaign, which culminated with a second in the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes, and she may now only be coming to herself. That may seem a strange thing to say about a filly who ran fifth in the 1000 Guineas on her reappearance and second when dropped to this trip in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot, but there was something about her battling success in the Listed City Of York Stakes last time that suggested there was even better to come.
Her veteran trainer knows a good horse when he sees one and he's not one for tilting at windmills either, so her entry in the Group 1 Sun Chariot Stakes later this autumn speaks volumes for the high regard she is held in. The mile of that Newmarket race may see her in an even better light but a fast-run 7f, which she ought to get here, suits her just fine and I expect her to outclass her rivals.
Doncaster 2.30, Fadhayyil @ 7/2 BetVictor
Doncaster 3.05, Koora @ 9/2 BetVictor
All odds were correct at time of posting.

Penny: Champion of the Marginalized
About This Episode
How does one trailblazing woman overcome the odds to become a top criminal trial attorney, all while keeping her sense of humor? Penny: Champion of the Marginalized is the compelling story of Penny Cooper: celebrated criminal defense attorney, philanthropist, art collector, mentor, social and moral activist, and protector of the underdog.
Penny's life brims with stories mirroring the profound changes in our country from the 1940s to the present. Through it all, Penny has found herself at the center of dramatic social progress for women from political and moral views, to professional opportunity and adversity, to sexuality. A role model and pioneer, Penny perhaps owes much of her success in transcending the glass ceiling to her unwavering resilience, fortitude, and infamous humility. In this revealing documentary, Penny proves herself quite the raconteur with seemingly unlimited anecdotes. Her stories are engaging; sometimes funny, and sometimes devastating. A true reflection of a life well lived.
There are many films about lawyers, but Penny is at its core the story of a real woman carving her place in the real world, told from a woman's point of view.

Jesse Armstrong
Jesse Armstrong is a British comedy writer, best known for the Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show, the BBC political satire The Thick of It, and the HBO drama series Succession.
Born (c. 1972) in Oswestry in Shropshire,[1] he attended a comprehensive school there[2] before reading American Studies at the University of Manchester,[3] where he met his writing partner Sam Bain.[4] Before going into comedy writing in the late 1990s, Armstrong worked as a researcher for the Labour MP Doug Henderson.[5]
Collaborations with Sam Bain[edit]
At the beginning of their writing career, Armstrong and Bain wrote for the Channel 4 sketch show Smack the Pony and the children's shows The Queen's Nose and My Parents Are Aliens.[6] They went on to create and write Peep Show, BBC One sitcom The Old Guys, and most recently Channel 4 comedy-dramas Fresh Meat and Babylon. They also wrote for the Radio Four sketch show That Mitchell and Webb Sound, starring Peep Show's two main actors David Mitchell and Robert Webb, and its BBC Two adaptation That Mitchell and Webb Look. Peep Show has won several writing awards,[7] including a BAFTA for Best Situation Comedy in 2008.[8]
To date, Armstrong and Bain have written two films together – the 2007 comedy Magicians, and, alongside Chris Morris, the 2010 terrorism satire Four Lions.
Armstrong and Bain received the Writers' Guild of Great Britain Award at the British Comedy Awards 2010. In 2012 both Armstrong and Bain were featured on the TV industry journal Broadcast's 'Hot 100' list, highlighting the most successful people in UK television.[9]
In 2012, Armstrong and Bain wrote the Channel 4 comedy pilot Bad Sugar, a spoof of Dynasty-style soap operas, which stars Olivia Colman, Julia Davis and Sharon Horgan, all of whom also co-conceived the show.[10]
In 2014 Armstrong, with Danny Boyle, Robert Jones and Sam Bain, co-created the Channel 4 comedy-drama Babylon. Armstrong wrote the first and last of the 6 initial episodes and co-wrote the pilot with Sam Bain.
Other writing[edit]
Alongside Armando Iannucci, Simon Blackwell and Tony Roche, Armstrong wrote for the first three series[11] of the BAFTA-winning BBC Four comedy The Thick of It, and its 2009 film spin-off In the Loop. In The Loop was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2009, and won Best British Screenplay at the 2009 Evening Standard British Film Awards. Alongside The Thick of It's writing team, Armstrong wrote one episode of the first season of HBO comedy series Veep, set in the office of the American vice-president.
In the run-up to the 2010 UK general election, Armstrong wrote a column in The Guardian – 'Malcolm Tucker's election briefing – as dictated to Jesse Armstrong'.[12] He previously wrote a similar column for New Statesman, entitled 'Tactical Briefing'.[13]
In 2010, Armstrong's currently-unproduced screenplay Murdoch, a drama in which Rupert Murdoch and his family disagree over who should have control of his company, received attention after it appeared on The Black List, a list of unproduced screenplays most liked by Hollywood industry figures.[14] In the wake of the 2011 phone hacking scandal involving newspapers owned by Murdoch it was rumoured[15][16] that the script was being developed by Channel 4, but Armstrong dismissed these claims.[17]
Armstrong is reportedly developing a biopic of the Republican Party strategist Lee Atwater, with Chris Henchy and Adam McKay.[18][19]
In October 2011 it was reported that Armstrong's film adaptation of Richard DiLello's book The Longest Cocktail Party, charting the founding of The Beatles' record company Apple Records and the recording of their final album Let It Be,[20] was to be directed by Michael Winterbottom.[21] In February 2016 it was reported that Winterbottom had withdrawn from the project and the film's future was uncertain.[22]
Armstrong wrote one episode of Charlie Brooker's anthology series Black Mirror, entitled "The Entire History of You". Robert Downey, Jr. has since bought the rights to adapt the script for a forthcoming film.[23]
Armstrong's first novel, Love, Sex and Other Foreign Policy Goals, was released in April 2015.[24]
In 2017, Armstrong's American drama series Succession executive produced by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell was picked up to series by HBO.[25]

The more one suffers, the more, I believe, has one a sense for the comic. It is only by the deepest suffering that one acquires true authority in the use of the comic, an authority which by one word transforms as by magic the reasonable creature one calls man into a caricature.

Posted a few pics of this dining room remake in other forums here on LJs, decided on a separate blog series to give others an idea or two on what's possible. There are three other rooms in the house done up with wainscoting, but none of those are this specific style; for those I used T&G beadboard (labor intensive, lots of wood used) on one and 4' panel'd sheets of beadboard on the other two. Went surfing on the TOH website and found a number of styles compared side-by-side, and like the flat panel look the best.
The room, three pictures from left to right, stripped of flowered wallpaper and ready for improvement.
And here's my 'inspiration picture' for the wainscoting we're after.
First challenge was to set the panel size. There are examples out there that use larger 'reveals' to fill walls, but I was after a look that had the rails, styles and flat panels looking identical around the room. Four wall segments, two of them on the wall that included a non-centered window. And the panels would top out at the same height at the half wall that separates the dining room from the parlor. Excel to the rescue, telling me with just a little variation in the stile width, I can get the look I want.
But before we get into the cutting of MDF (and the dust, agck!) it's time for a disclosure. There are no pics of the treatment done under the window sill of the room. I watched an on-line video of Norm doing wainscoting where he built out the area under the window sill for a great look. I did that in my room, but took no pictures of the 1×4 framing build or install. But you'll see the result in the pics that follow. So if you like it, seek out Norm Abram's video. If not, no harm, no foul. Okay, back to the action.
Prep of the room, besides clearing the Hoosier cabinet and table from the space, included cutting and pulling drywall from the window wall. Why? The house was a complete renovation over six + months when we bought it over 20 years ago. We drywalled the interior spaces as walls were moved, chimneys removed and plaster was too far gone to rehab. Without going into too much detail, the face trim of our windows does not sit proud of the finished walls. To add 1/2" of paneling to that situation didn't appeal to me at all, so on the window wall I removed drywall at a level line marked around the entire room for reference.
Pulled the carpeting (new wood floor coming) and the room was ready for working.
We'll cut material and show the installation methods I used in upcoming blogs. As always, thanks for looking.

Bucket List
A couple of weeks ago my family celebrated my Oma's ninetieth birthday. Although her health is starting to deteriorate and we recognize that God may call her home soon, it was awesome to be with her on that day and celebrate her birthday. Ninety years is certainly worth celebrating!
On the drive home, I began to reflect on my Oma's life to this point. She had lived through WWII, crossed the ocean and immigrated to Canada as a young adult, raised a family here in Southern Ontario and had many, many other adventures along her journey. She has watched as her children and grandchildren grew older and now she even has a large group of great-grandchildren running and crawling around.
For some reason, all of these things made me wonder if my Oma had a bucket list. I wondered if there were things that she had wished that she had done. Places she wished she had seen. A lot of us have a list of things that we want to do before we die, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. But hear what the apostle Peter thought about his bucket list. Peter knew he was going to die, and in his last days he wanted to remind us of our role to "make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love." Peter believed that "if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 1: 5-9). If we think about it, shouldn't serving our Saviour be number one on our bucket list? Shouldn't our goal always be to celebrate God, share Him with others and love Him? I think that is one of the major roles of Christian Education: we provide a setting where we can celebrate God, share Him with others and love Him. Although we may still have Switzerland or Hawaii on our bucket list, I hope that we will always remember that our first goal should be a heavenly one.

There's a new TV streaming stick on the horizon, and it's made by satnav company Garmin.
It's called the Vivohub 2, and according to a leak, it runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, which is a couple of years old now.
It will fulfil much the same role as Google's Chromecast or Amazon's Fire TV Stick. Plug it into your telly's HDMI port, and it'll stream TV shows and films over Wi-Fi.
It'll have a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an ARM Mali-400 graphics chip, and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
The Vivofit 1 was a hub designed for corporate wellness programs, that collected data from Garmin's Vivofit activity trackers. There's a chance Garmin could include some of the same skills, and have it show fitness data on your TV. Better shape up, unless you want everyone in the room seeing how unfit you are.
That would set it apart in an already crowded field of streaming dongles. The aforementioned rivals are simple to use and very affordable, and are from household names too. Garmin might have a fight on its hands.

Flow of History Lite 2.7

The Flow of History Lite is history for the 21st century.
It is history as it was meant to be experienced: a dynamic fluid process unfettered by the normal limitations of a history book. Instead of the standard names and dates approach to history you learned to hate in school, The Flow of History gives you world history in a series of 243 hyper-linked full-color flowcharts. Now you can explore the connections between various historical events and processes, both across time and between cultures.
The core idea of The Flow of History is to show the dynamics of history, how different forces and events (political, social, economic, and cultural) have interacted over time to create our world today.
Each flowchart is both a self-contained one-page overview of a particular topic and a hyper-linked doorway to the people, events, and forces that affected different periods in history and were affected in turn by them.
However, embedded in the links between flowcharts is the idea that the impact of the various forces and events in history neither begins with nor not stops at the end of that flowchart. Thus The Flow of History functions in essence as one flowchart broken into 243 sub-flowcharts hyper-linked together to encompass the entire human story.
Depending on your needs, the Flow of History can be a quick reference tool and study guide for specific historical topics, the starting point for deeper research with its hundreds of picture essays, or as an integrated world history tied together by hundreds of internal hyper-links.
But it's much more than that.
Here's what you get:
* 243 hyper-linked flowcharts including
* A master flowchart that links you to all 17 units
* 17 unit flowcharts linking you to every flowchart in that unit
* 225 individual full color flowcharts covering both standard topics (e.g., the Reformation, women™s history, World War II, the Roman Empire, etc) as well as less standard topics such as festive dancing, disease in history, and even the humble potato
* Detailed readings explaining each flowchart
* 17 full-color illustrated timelines
Whatever your interests or needs in the realm of history, The Flow of History is the first place to go.
The Flow of History: Thinking between the boxes.
The author has been building and refining this approach to history over 33 years of teaching. Along with local teaching awards, he received the Beveridge Family Teaching Award in 2001, the only teaching award in the nation given by the American Historical Association to a secondary school history teacher. An article about this can be found at http://news.illinois.edu/ii/01/0405/0405butler.html

Please rate and/or review this product as a courtesy to other potential users.
For an even fuller history experience, check out The Flow of History, which has everything you™ll find in the Flow of History plus hundreds of picture essays on the inner details and trivia of history (e.g., Egyptian proverbs and fairy tales, extreme fashions in Revolutionary France, and the logistics of Alexander the Great™s army.

Lady Gaga Rocks Silver Tinsel Hair, Tweets About Gay Rights in Russia
Lady Gaga knows how to make an entrance and that's just what Ma Monster did when she arrived in Russia for her Born This Way Ball tour.
She hit St. Petersburg with a certain level of visual pageantry, looking like a modern version of the city's most famous fictional resident, Anna Karenina, if you can suspend disbelief for a second. Hey if Keira Knightley can play the role on the big screen...
Mother Monster was all done up, with her hair resembling some sort of silvery shade, as if she were wearing a wig of holiday tinsel. It was a bedazzled look for her, and her jacket was quite eye-catching, but nothing could compete with that hair piled atop her head in a complicated beehive.
Gaga tweeted upon her arrival, ready to absorb some Russian culture. She posted:
Just arrived in St. Petersburg Russia. Im so delighted to see so many monsters at the airport. Take me to the ballet!
But that's not all she wrote, literally!
Gaga tweeted a message of thanks to the country's prime minster, who has distanced himself from his party's anti-gay stances and showed support for her show.
Thank You Prime Minister Medvedev for not standing by your party's anti gay propaganda law & instead supporting my show+fans all over Russia
She also tweeted:
Prime Minister Medvedev please accept my gratitude I am looking forward to performing in RUSSIA & celebrating our cultures coming together.
That's our Gaga. She breaks down cultural barriers and always, always gets behind the LGBT community.

MOSCOW - Russia formally recognized the breakaway Georgian territories at the heart of its war with Georgia on Tuesday, heightening tensions with the West as the United States dispatched a military ship bearing aid to a port city still patrolled by Russian troops.
MOSCOW - Russia formally recognized the breakaway Georgian territories at the heart of its war with Georgia on Tuesday, heightening tensions with the West as the United States dispatched a military ship bearing aid to a port city still patrolled by Russian troops.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Georgia forced Russia's hand by launching an attack targeting South Ossetia on Aug. 7 in an apparent bid to seize control of the breakaway region.
In response, Russian tanks and troops drove deep into the U.S. ally's territory in a five-day war that Moscow saw as a justified response to a military threat in its backyard and the West viewed as a repeat of Soviet-style intervention in its vassal states.
"This is not an easy choice but this is the only chance to save people's lives," Medvedev said Tuesday in a televised address a day after Russia's Kremlin-controlled parliament voted unanimously to support the diplomatic recognition.
Western criticism came almost immediately.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says the decision to recognize the independence of two breakaway regions in Georgia is "extremely unfortunate."
She said the U.S. regards Abkhazia and South Ossetia as "part of the internationally recognized borders of Georgia" and will use its veto power in the U.N. Security Council to block any Russian attempt change their status.
Britain, Germany and France also criticized the decision.
Russian forces have staked out positions beyond the de-facto borders of the separatist regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The two territories have effectively ruled themselves following wars in the 1990s.
While Western nations have called the Russian military presence in Poti a clear violation of an EU-brokered cease-fire, a top Russian general countered Tuesday that using warships to deliver aid was "devilish."
"The heightened activity of NATO ships in the Black Sea perplexes us," Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn said in Moscow. The United States says its ships are carrying humanitarian aid but suspicion persists in Russia that they are delivering military materiel clandestinely.
Many of the Russian forces have pulled back from their positions in Georgia, but hundreds at least are estimated to still be manning checkpoints that Russia calls "security zones."
Two of those checkpoints are near the edge of Poti, one of Georgia's most important Black Sea ports � one by a bridge that provides the only access to Poti. The Russian military is also claiming the right to patrol in the city.
An AP cameraman was treated roughly by Russian troops Sunday when he tried to film Russian movements around Poti. Other AP journalists have reported on Russian looting in the city. Georgian officials have said much of the port's infrastructure � radar, Coast Guard ships, other equipment � was destroyed by the Russians.
Angering Russia, the United States sent the missile destroyer USS McFaul to the southern Georgian port of Batumi, well away from the conflict zone, to deliver 34 tons of humanitarian aid on Sunday.
The McFaul left Batumi on Tuesday but would remain in the Black Sea area, said Commander Scott Miller, a spokesman for the U.S. Navy's 6th Fleet in Naples, Italy.
The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Dallas, meanwhile, was headed for Georgia with a shipment of aid.
Embassy spokesman Stephen Guice did not give details on which ship would aim to enter Poti, but it appeared likely the smaller Coast Guard ship would aim to dock, with the McFaul possibly remaining on guard at sea.
"We can confirm that U.S. ship-borne humanitarian aid will be delivered to Poti tomorrow," Guice said.
In Moscow, the deputy head of the Russian military's general staff lashed out at the U.S. naval operation.
"We are worried" about aid being delivered on warships, Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn said. "This is devilish."
"This aid could be bought at any flea market," he added.
While he did not link it with the U.S. ships, Nogovitsyn said a unit of Russian naval ships was off Sukhumi � the capital of another separatist Georgian region, Abkhazia, on the Black Sea north of Poti. He said the ships were observing the pullout of Russian troops from Georgia.
Nogovitsyn told reporters that 10 ships from NATO nations were currently in the Black Sea and that eight more are to join them soon.
"They have very serious arsenal on their ships," Nogovitsyn said. "The Black Sea is just a small pool for their arms with the range of 2,500 kilometers."
The Georgian defense ministry said a Russian large landing ship, the Yamal, was seen in the Black Sea off Poti on Tuesday morning and another was in the sea farther north off Abkhazia, which is also under the control of Russian troops.
The United States and other Western countries have given substantial military aid to Georgia, angering Russia, which regards Georgia as part of its historical sphere of influence. Russia has also complained bitterly about aspirations by Georgia and Ukraine to join NATO.
Medvedev said Georgian Presdent Mikhail Saakshvili was so bent on ganiang control of South Ossetia that he resorted to "genocide."
"Georgia chose the least human way to achieve its goal � to absorb South Ossetia by eliminating a whole nation," Medvedev said.
Russia's military presence seems likely to further weaken Georgia, a Western ally in the Caucasus region, a major transit corridor for energy supplies to Europe and a strategic crossroads close to the Middle East, Iran, Afghanistan, Russia and energy-rich Central Asia.
After Russia's parliament urged recognition of the breakaway territories on Monday, the U.S. State Department said recognition would be "unacceptable" and President Bush urged the Kremlin against it.
"Georgia's territorial integrity and borders must command the same respect as every other nation's, including Russia's," Bush, who is sending Vice President Dick Cheney on a visit to Georgia next month to show support, said late Monday.
Russia says the West undermined its own arguments for the sanctity of Georgia's borders by supporting Kosovo's declaration of independence from traditional Russian ally Serbia in February.
Georgia lashed out at Russia, as expected.
"Russia is trying to legalize the results of an ethnic cleansing it has conducted, to oppose it to the West," Georgia's state minister on reintegration, Timur Yakobashvili, told The Associated Press. "But it will result in Russia's isolation from the world."
Britain rejected the Russian move, with the Foreign Office saying it did "nothing to improve the prospects of peace in the Caucasus."
French Foreign Ministry spokesman Eric Chevallier said France regrets Russia's decision and is committed to the territorial integrity of Georgia.
In practical terms, Russian recognition seems unlikely break the isolation of the two breakaway regions.
Neither region has much to export, or much of an economy. Both rely heavily on Russia for pensions and government subsidies. Most people in the two regions have been given Russian passports, and already consider themselves citizens of Russia.
But it marked an initial step toward what could become modern Russia's first push for territorial expansion.
In London, British oil company BP PLC announced Monday it has reopened the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline, which runs through Georgia.
The pipeline, which provides some 1 million barrels per day of Caspian Sea crude to international markets, had been closed for more than two weeks after a fire on its Turkish stretch. Kurdish rebels claimed responsibility for the blaze.
BP's ability to export Caspian oil had been seriously curtailed by both the fire on the Turkish stretch of the BTC line and the fighting with Russia in Georgia.
The London-based company shut down its Baku-Supsa oil pipeline � which runs through the center of Georgia from Baku in Azerbaijan to Supsa on Georgia's Black Sea coast � on August 12 because of security concerns. That line, which had been pumping about 90,000 barrels a day, remains closed.
