So, I guess I should probably make a blog just about myself…like my interests and that kind of thing. I don't really see the point in it, though. Really, all anybody needs to know about me is that I'm not original. I am the creation of everyone who has ever been in contact with me. People touch and leave their marks…which might seem creepy to you, but it's true. EVERYONE (at least once) has been emotionally/physically/mentally "touched" by someone else. And no, I don't mean that in some uber-creeper way…people aren't ACTUALLY touching you, I'm just simply stating that no one is their own creation. Whoa, I'm repeating myself. It makes sense to ME, and that's all that really matters.
Something else to know about me: I adore music. Everyone says, "Music is my life!" but that's not true..do they live and breathe music? No..and if they do, I wanna see it, because that sounds pretty awesome 😉 Music is something that can make you FEEL a certain way and YOU get to choose that feeling. If you're sad about your boyfriend, what do you want to listen to? A song about someone breaking up with somebody else, or maybe a really peppy song just to make you feel better, to know your not alone. I personally appreciate all kinds of music (even country!) and will listen to everything at least once…I might not like it a whole lot, but someone, somewhere has taken the time to burst out into song and the least we could do is listen.

I'm visiting LA in a few weeks and hearing a great deal of conflicting advice about food trucks. Coming from an area with zero food trucks, I'm highly curious and eager to experience this trend. The friends I'm visiting are not really helpful, either are the conflicting blogs and websites that act as guides to the scene. One article says the LA food truck scene is declining due to increased fees (http://www.neontommy.com/news/2011/10...) and health grades pending (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09...) while others are still arguing over which of the dozens of current trucks are the best (http://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-l...).
As an outsider, can someone in the know take a few and clarify this for me? Also, apologies if links are not cool. They seemed relevant to my confusion. Thanks.

Primates' Meeting -- what does it all mean?
No one can say this means victory. Progressives will need to find a way to accept the clear requirement to refrain from consecrating as bishops those who live in same-sex unions. (Though it says nothing about LGBT bishops otherwise.) We need to agree that no Rites of Blessing will be authorized.
For their part, American conservatives, especially ECUSA dissidents, will need to agree that Bishop Katharine is their primate, though they'll have a primatial vicar. They have to deal with the fact that Bishop Katharine is now a member of what was until recently the primatial old boys' club, and they even have to reckon with her on the Primates' Standing Committee. Looks like +Peter Akinola won't be having any communion at Lambeth or the Primates' Meetings any time soon.
The sacrifice of LGBT Anglicans is high. But for the first time, conservatives are being held to account as well. Their jurisdictional incursions must cease. Instead of seeing +Katharine pushed off to the side, she's been elected to their standing committee.
So far, my reaction is guarded, but optimistic. ECUSA continues, and there will be no parallel province for conservatives. The Communion is intact, and even +Peter Akinola signed this statement. While LGBT Anglicans are giving up an extraordinary amount, our ability to witness justice and love to the wider communion continues. Had ECUSA been marginalized, our program of global mission might have been compromised. Now we can model reconciliation and love to people in the whole Anglican Communion.
I hasten to add that +Katharine cannot enforce this within ECUSA on her own. She'll need to get the House of Bishops to agree with her, and for some things, the Executive Council. I can imagine the bishops going right along, but I think some of this will be tough for the Executive Council to sign off on. Particularly challenging will be th notion that the primatial vicar reports to an external Pastoral Council, but is somehow under the jurisdiction of the Primate. It's very late here, but I can't grok this now. Will the Executive Council permit a bishop to operate in our church who leapfrogs over the Primate? I doubt it, but we'll see. This is unexplored polity territory, but I think Executive Council will need to approve this, not just the bishops -- and there are some strong-minded people on Council.
As I parse all of this further, I may change my mind. But for now, this seems like the best we could have hoped for. The fact that the conservatives were very unhappy about all this suggests that they've parsed it the same way I have.

This probably was as good as could be expected
But its not good enough. I don't wish to be part of an instutionally homophobic body and that is why I left the Church of England.
If TEC sign up to this, they will just prove themselves to lack principle, and to place the 'Communion', a group of homophobes and bigots, above the needs of gay and lesbian people.
If that's the case - then the Church really does have nothing to offer. I think TEC have to make some hard decisions. Do they really have integrity?

Very many thanks for the early posting of some reflections about the recently produced documents.
It is probably too early to be too definitive about what it all means and probably indicates that a middle line has been taken, which is after all what you do when opinions are sharply divided.
The progress to a fully inclusive communion (or even "Province" for most of us) will be long and slow and will take time - it won't and never was going to be an overnight thing.
The Dar es Salaam meetings have gone very differently than was posted up by certain loud elements who were involved in heavy 'spinning' of all the terrible things that were going to happen - they didn't. So we shall see.

I'm with merseymike on this. This "recommendation" fails in almost every way. If we have the courage of our convictions then we have no choice but to veto just about all of it. Accepting it would create a kind of church that is the antithesis of the very reason I chose to become an Anglican.

"I think some of this will be tough for the Executive Council to sign off on. " Well, next week's EC meeting will be interesting, to say the least.
And, once again LGBT Anglican Christians are giving up a lot, without ever being asked or invited into the conversation. What else is new?

Yes although this business offers an abstract appearance of a middle mixed way forward, in actual real fact of daily life it represents nothing that any honest LGBTQ believer can live positively.
So let TEC get on with things the best it can, but that is hardly the meat and potatoes of following Jesus of Nazareth, parenting ones' children the best one knows how (without official help from the TEC parish that must officially tell you: Alas, my sinful dear parent, come back to the Anglican Communion fold), and/or using every available legal civil means to protect and care for ones' partner.
Getting on with daily life then is mainly an invisible, silenced local task so far as this communique and its schedule are concerned. Should we have dared to expect anything else?
Vote it all up, pro forma, then.
All of us will still know, if we care to know, who is not straight, who is busy coming out into mature young adulthood and just starting to date, who is in love and committed, and which two daddies or which two mommies are raising children in the parish.
What ways can TEC find - outside the condemned official conservative Anglican views and structures and straights are superior pledging - to offer real sustenance at the parish level where it counts, to all of the real people who might still be among us, albeit rendered invisible and silent by just this return to closet life and backwards thinking?
We gotta lotta very bright minds and very caring hearts in TEC - no matter what the realignment people say about us. Surely we can come up with something?

It's not always about you. You know perfectly well that within the C of E there are many churches which have no problem at all with your homosexuality. By no means all of these churches are 'liberal'. Instead of posturing from the sidelines, why don't you get stuck in in some worthy parish (there are hundreds) and fight from the inside for your values?

This is not an acceptable outcome in any sense of the word. It demands surrender to the forces of intolerance, hate, and evil within the conservative movement of the Anglican Communion on TEC. I hope and pray our bishops and EC will NOT sign off on this. LGBT americans are not just being asked to sacrifice, we are being thrown under the bus for the sake of a false unity. I was driven from the Church once when I came out and faced the kind of ugliness, hate, and lies that +Peter Akinola and his kind are trying to force on TEC now. Finding TEC saved my spiritual life, and brought back into the Christian fold to fully experience the love of Christ that they now want to deny me. TEC should say 'no' and take its money and go home, seize the property of conservative bishops and parishes who wish to leave, and go about our business. This is no 'middle way'. This is complete anniliation of the right of LGBT people to live with dignity in the fellowship of Christ.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
**I received a free ecopy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review**
One hundred years from today, Father – the benevolent artificial intelligence that governs the island nation of Japan – will gain sentience. To defend its borders, Father will take drastic action by launching Japan into space…where its people can thrive in isolation, away from the overpopulated and resource-deprived planet below. Over the centuries, as New Japan orbits our increasingly unstable world, it will become a model society – one built on peace, prosperity…and Father's control.
A thousand years from today, Father will create the first Rai, founding a lineage of technologically enhanced heroes engineered to defend New Japan and sworn to protect it from all enemies. For hundreds of years into the future, the Rai will single-handedly enforce New Japan's justice well…and serve Father without question.
Now, at the dawn of 4001 A.D., the latest Rai is about to inherit the dark truth behind the origin of his kind…and discover the sinister secret at the heart of Father's existence. For New Japan to live, Earth must die…and as Rai challenges his former master for the first time in more than a millennium, the lone guardian of New Japan will be cast out of his own Father's kingdom…
Exiled from the only realm he's ever known, Rai now walks the ravaged world of 4001 A.D. in search of forgotten heroes like himself…on a mission to collect the last surviving legends of a broken planet…and to forge a rebellion with the power to bring the most advanced civilization in history crashing back down to Earth.
Earth must rise. Father must fall.
Collecting: 4001 A.D. 1-4
When I requested this title I didn't know it was part of a series. While I enjoyed it, the plot and character development was lacking, I now know that it was because this is not the first book. The art is beautiful and well done, but sometimes a little difficult to follow in the action scenes. For fans of the other works by this author, this is a great read that tells more about Rai.

Apple's iTunes News feed offers some helpful advice on Play Count for Smart Playlist users, especially those with iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads:
In addition to the Internet and your local network, iTunes is also alert to a different kind of network -- the one made up of the iPhones, iPods (and soon iPads) that it runs on, as well as the computer you sync them with. Whether tracks have been played since the last sync is part of the information that gets updated when you sync. As a result, smart playlists using criteria such as "most often played" and "least recently played" update based on your overall experience and not just what you've done on any one particular device. By the way, if the play count for tracks ever gets out of whack, it's easy to reset it. Just select the track(s) in list view in your library, right click (or control-click on a Mac), and choose Reset Play Count.
I stopped using smart playlists because, the way I had them set up, they'd often remove a podcast I was only part of the way through listening too. If anyone has tried this method and gotten better results, let me know in the comments!

Delightful Objects: Four Seasons Table Lamp by Jordi Mila
I discovered this amazing design table lamp by Jordi Mila at INDEX Exhibition 2010 in Dubai. A versatile lamp inviting us to discover every facet of our humanity as it has four faces, four different aspects, four seasons. As our mood and emotions change, we can re-decorate instantly by rotating the four sided laser sintered shade ninety degrees via an internal mechanism. Each side represents one of the four seasons of the year. There are two options to choose from; the compact version or the higher piece with its base and neck available in gun metal or satin finish.

I'm happy to announce the public release of the next Tlaero and Mortze game--Redemption for Jessika.
This now contains 6 languages: English, French, Italian, German, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish. Special thanks to John Milton for doing the Italian translation, and Marco6661 for doing the French translation, Chessy, NudeRaider, and Shift64 for doing the German translation, Lokoo and Moskys for doing the European Spanish translation, and Massi84 for doing the Latin American Spanish translation.
This is the follow on to our previous game:
Dreaming with Elsa http://www.mediafire.com/download/e3o1n7ru73vmj9l/DwE.zip
It's not required that you play DwE before this one, but if you're going to play them both, it makes sense to do DwE first.
In the lagoon thread http://the-new-lagoon.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3553 where you folks voted on which game you wanted next, Miranda eventually got more votes than Jessika. But at the time that I made the decision on which game to do, it was pretty close. When I thought more carefully about things, I realized that the overall story would flow better if we did Jessika's game first. So here we are. Finding Miranda will be the next game after this one.
In this game I'm trying to find the right balance between telling the story I want to tell and giving you enough choices for it to be an enjoyable game. That has resulted in the game being a little less interactive than past games, but allowed me to make Marc (the character you play) an awesome dude. I'll be interested in the discussion of the tradeoffs there and how well (or poorly) I balanced them.
That said, of all the games I've written, this is my favorite. You may think that the newest game is always my favorite, but that's not the case. I like all the games I make, but some speak to me more than others. The possibly bad news is that my previous favorite was Life with Keeley, which is generally one you folks liked less than the others. Fortunately, that dislike generally revolved around the fact that you played a female in LwK. The good news is that you play a male in Redemption for Jessika.
While we're on the subject of my games, before I met Mortze, I made 4 others with a different artist named Phreaky. Those games take place in a different universe than the ones I'm doing with Mortze, but they were well regarded in their time. So, you might enjoy playing them if you haven't already.
Meeting Keeley http://www.mediafire.com/download/9bbok00eewu4o63/mk.zip
Getting to know Christine http://www.mediafire.com/download/c8yeazejdsg48pa/GtkC.zip
Life with Keeley http://www.mediafire.com/download/cg20goxo0sj6w1e/LwK2.0.zip
Coffee for Keisha http://www.mediafire.com/download/025a3yoz243vwqo/CfK.zip
We've been working really hard on Redemption for Jessika for a long time, and it's turned out to be the longest one I've done. Not only is it my favorite game, but it also has two of my favorite scenes. I hope you folks enjoy it as much as I do.

NAB 2011 Final Cut Pro Supermeet Coverage [Final Cut Pro X Announced]
Pre-event photo by @fcpsupermeet
The Final Cut Pro User Group Supermeet is about to kick off, and everyone seems to expect that Apple will be presenting the new version of Final Cut Pro. The event kicks off at 10pm Eastern, 7pm Pacific and has been rumored to include Apple as the main stage presenter. There has been no official confirmation of this, so hopefully everyone won't be disappointed. We'll provide updates here as we get them.
via @robimbs
via @robimbs
- Event started. Confirmed: Next version of Final Cut Pro to be unveiled. "Something as revolutionary as the first version of FCP when introduced in 1999." - PhotographyBay

- Allows you to edit as you are importing, you don't have to wait to ingest. (via robimbs)
- Background rendering is built in. No more "writing video" dialog box (via @dbax)
- Content auto analysis, meaning it can auto detect most media and when it imports can auto image stabilize. On import it can: People Detection, Shot Detection, Auto Color Balance, Audio Cleanup (via @rexmilian)
- Automatic audio clean up on the way. Options to rid hum, rumble, etc. on the way in. Range-based keywording. You can select ranges inside your clip and apply keywords to those ranges instead of just keywording the clip. No subclipping necessary. Smart collections: Categorizes things like media types (audio, stills), how many people are in shots and how those shots are framed. Smart collections looks very iMovie-ish. (via PhotographyBay)
- Clip Connections: Audio and Video and be locked together and be one clip on a timeline (no longer a V1 and A1 A2 track). Can lock audio clips with specific video clip, so if moved on timeline they stay synched (via @reximilian)
- "Compound Clips": collapse chunks of media into a single clip on the timeline. How nesting always should have worked. (via @fcpsupermeet)
Inline precision editor via @robimbs
- Inline Precision Editor: click on an edit and it shows unused footage on both clips of the edit to help you trim (@rexmilian)
- the Auto Analyze will make Search Folders that know what has people in it, or CloseUps or Wide Shots.
- Tagging clips let's you tag only specific parts of the clip to tage with keyword or favorite
- Timeline Index: list of every clip on your timeline in order and let's you search by name or tag (via @reximilian)
- Automatically analysis audio and can sync audio with similar audio. Simple audio keyframing, tweaking the audio is much easier. Trimming clips, the Magnetic Timeline makes complicated edits easier.
- Instant render in the background all the time, does not at all effect editing. (@robimbs)
- Built in color matching. Match clip colors from two different cams very fast. That got BIG applause. (@comebackshane)
- Shipping in June on App Store. $299.
- No mention of Final Cut Studio or Final Cut Express.
Special thanks to @reximilian, @robimbs, @dbax and @fcpsupermeet for their coverage.

Here comes Super Final Cut Express (SFCE)...

Supposedly the guy behind this new version is also the criminal that destroyed iMovie a few years back. God I hope FC8 isn't ANYTHING like iMovie. Old editors are too set in our ways to switch over to a iMovie/Sony Vegas style of editing. I need a preview window, and a Timeline Window. Just like when I edited on tape.

Who thinks that they'll eliminate Final Cut Express and lower the price of Final Cut Pro? iMovie seems to serve the "express crowd" while FCP would be within reach of the semi-pro demographic if the price were around $300.

Also known as the guy who made FCP and Premiere originally.
Also the guy who took a nice iMovie and made it unusable. I hope he doesn't fsck up FCP. Even iMovie had background rendering until he stripped it out.

Assisted suicide crusader Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who dared prosecutors to charge him, was convicted on Friday of second-degree murder for fatally injecting a terminally ill man whose death was broadcast on national television. Kevorkian claims to have helped more than 130 people commit suicide.
After deliberating more than 12 hours over two days, a jury of seven women and five men rejected Kevorkian's argument that his intent was not to murder Thomas Youk, who suffered from a terminal illness called Lou Gehrig's disease. Kevorkian videotaped Youk's death in September of 1998, which was then seen by millions on "60 Minutes."
The verdict is likely to have a profound impact on the discussion of doctor-assisted suicide, an issue that has been hotly debated in recent years. Today, we examine the debate on how life should end and whether physicians should help terminally ill patients end their lives.
- Dr. Timothy Quill, author of ??A Midwife Through the Dying Process: Stories of Healing and hard Choices, published by Johns Hopkins Press, as well as ??Death and Dignity: Making Choices and Taking Charge.
- Dr. Ira Byock, author of Dying Well and past president of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. He is also the founder of the advocacy group "Partnership for Caring." Speaking from Missoula, Montana.

MTA moved more quickly than expected. On Aug. 13, MTA planners told the Pasadena City Council and 300 or so angry residents that it would be late October before it could eliminate from study any of the 12 proposals for easing congestion near the eastern end of the Long Beach (710) Freeway.
Under increasing political pressure, 11 days later MTA tossed out several routes, including proposals to make Avenue 64 a highway and a plan to extend the Long Beach (710) Freeway to the Glendale (2) Freeway.

|Thursday, 10 December 2009
|8.00am - 9.30am
|State Room at Valley Wing
3rd Floor, Shangri-La Hotel
|By invitation only
Provost Tan Eng Chye and CAMRI hosted a breakfast, conversation, and talk on Thursday, 10 December 2009 from 8.00am – 9.30am at Shangri-La Hotel.
Professor Zvi Bodie, whom Time magazine recently spotlighted as one of the world's top 3 thinkers on retirement investing and the stock market, will be the breakfast speaker that morning. He will speak on a variety of current topics that draw on his primary areas of financial research, which include Life Cycle Finance and the Design of Pension Plans and The Integration of Asset Management, Financial Planning, and Risk Management.

Topical anesthetic spray is very different from a cream and gel in terms of its application. In a spray, numbing ingredients are tightly compressed and only released in form of drops or mist on your skin, when sprayed. The spray works effectively when applied on the skin. It is easier and time saving as you don't need to wash your hands before or after applying it. Just spray it on your skin and you are ready for waxing. The spray minimizes the feeling of discomfort experienced during waxing.

The vasociane is a strong and effective anesthetic spray. For faster and better results, you just need to spray it on the desired area. It is quite effective on the broken skin; you can use Vasocaine numbing spray during procedures like tattooing and piercing where the skin is tampered with.
The spray has active ingredient lidocaine HCI 5%. The best thing about it is that you can spray it on the skin during the procedures also; the gels and creams can only be used before or after the procedure. The spray is easy and safe to use except for permanent eyeliner makeup. Vasocaine contains a constrictor that aids in reducing swelling and bleeding. The spray also contains some quantity of epinephrine. The Vasocaine 4oz costs $40.
How to apply
- Clean the area where you want to sprayVasocaine.
- Spray it on the body part
- Within a few seconds your skin will stop experiencing sensation and will be ready for painless waxing
If you have sensitive skin, then do consult your doctor before applying any numbingspray on the skin.
GiGi Anesthetic

The GiGi Anesthetic is a topical analgesic spray that is mostly used in waxing and other broken skin procedures. The spray contains 4 % lidocaine that gently desensitises the skin. Simply spray it on the desired area you want to wax, and within minutes, the solution penetrates the skin-surface and makes it numb.
It helps to minimize the discomfort associated with tattooing, waxing and even bikini waxing.The ingredients of the spray include Lidocaine 4.0%, Thymol, Eugenol, Oleth-5, Isododecane, Isobutane, Alcohol Denat., Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Amyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl, Fragrance (Parfum), Benzoate, , Limonene, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde and Benzyl Salicylate.The GiGi Anesthetic 1.5oz is priced at $14.99.
How to use
Before using GiGi Anesthetic for waxing in larger areas like legs, back, arms underarms and bikini area spray it directly on the skin. Don't spray it near the eyes, mouth or sensitive parts of the body. For waxing on the face, first spray it on the cloth and then place the cloth on the desired area. Wait approximately for 2-3 minutes to allow the skin to get numb.
After that, you can proceed with the waxing process. The GiGi Anesthetic spray is meant only for external use. If you mistakenly spray it on any sensitive area of the body, immediately contact your doctor.
Don't use the spray in the large quantity as it can result in some side effects. While applying it, always stay away from heat and fire as the spray is inflammable.
You might find it a little difficult to choose from the two products, but final decision depends on your convenience and budget. Both the sprays feature almost the same ingredients and same utility, but Vasocaine spray somehow is more effective to attain painless waxing.

I just looked at my Predictions for 2012, made a year ago. Three are wrong. There was no new UK foreign policy disaster (at any rate, not one bigger than The War of the Ecuadorean Embassy). There were no new urban riots in August 2012. And Michael Gove is still in charge of Education - really extraordinary that this is so.
One is possibly right: Alex Salmond may be more popular than a year ago despite huge efforts on the part of the Unionist parties to ensure that he isn't.
In these circumstances, I make no predictions for 2013. I wouldn't put money on any of my hunches.
However, I do have the feeling that in London 2013 is going to be a good year for new-to-the-scene criminals without Twitter accounts. The Metropolitan Police is now entirely committed to feet-on-the-desk investigations of crimes against media personalities and crimes committed many years ago by the decrepit and dead.
And with that reassuring thought, I wish you an enjoyable End of Year. Just take care in the New Year.

Integrity - Service - Merit
Family Connection is a powerful tool for both our ISM counseling office and for students and parents. On our end, it is the means by which we manage all the applications that students send out to colleges and universities around the world. It also allows us to easily track student progress on the applications and produce a wide variety of reports.
For students and parents, it is an EXTREMELY useful tool for helping to select a proper range of universities. 'Scattergrams', the most used feature, allows students and parents to see their chances of being admitted to a particular institutions based on past data from past ISM students who have applied! Once students have entered PSAT or SAT scores and school GPAs, the system will plot them on a graph along with the historical data from past students. Other features allow you to view summaries about each institution, do college searches based on various criteria that are important to you, compare colleges, check 'overlaps' – i.e. where else students who have applied to College X in the past have also tended to apply, and much much more! Check it out and make sure to use it often!

'The chimera of Homeric legend – lion's head, goat's body, treacherous serpent's tail – has a less forbidding Oulipian counterpart. It is engendered as follows. Having chosen a newspaper article or other text for treatment, remove its nouns, verbs and adjectives. Replace the nouns with those taken in order from a different work, the verbs with those from a second work, the adjectives with those from a third.'
What I'm learning from being an Ouliposter without much time, is that if it doesn't work in the hour I have, then try and make it something else or abandon it for now. I can always come back to it. For me this month is more about learning new ways to write poetry than the finished outcome.
Today, I used four sources: an article in the Guardian newspaper,'China cancels human rights dialogue with Britain over 'interference'';Good Housekeeping,May 2014, 'Stamp Out Sexism'; Natural World, Spring 2014, 'Skokholm Diary', and the Western Mail, April 12, 'Two singers, one voice.'
It just wouldn't work, so I decided to write a Haiku, and have come up with two- one to use for tomorrow's Haikuisation.

Book Recommendation
Several of the Anglo-Catholic blogs that I follow have included book recommendations in recent weeks. I thought I would do the same for readers of this site. My recommendation for this month:
Martin Biddle. The Tomb of Christ. Sutton Publishing Ltd: Stroud, Gloucestershire, England. 1999.
Prof. Biddle is Professor of Medieval Archeology and Astor Senior Research Fellow in Medieval Archeology at Hertford College, Oxford. The Tomb of Christ is his well argued and lavishly illustrated report on archeological research he undertook at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem in the mid-1990's. His conclusion? The traditional site of Christ's tomb within the great Constantinian church is very probably correct.
Evidence indicates that within the walls of the late Byzantine-style chapel that now sits under the great dome of the church lies the living rock of a first century AD tomb. Biddle hypothesizes that Helena's excavation team in the 330's probably identified Christ' tomb by graffiti written on its walls by late first and early second century Christian pilgrims. Similar graffiti were found on the "Trophy of St. Peter" when archeological excavations were mounted under the high altar of St. Peter's Basilica by the Vatican in the mid-twentieth century.
I found this book to be fascinating and highly informative, providing not only a highly detailed history of this site but a glimpse of pilgrimage practices through the centuries and developments in church architecture during the medieval period. While it is a work of science and not of devotion, there is much that the POD crowd will find to enjoy in this book. Take up and read! Despite its obscure publisher, you may order it from Amazon here.

McIntosh, the global leader in prestigious home entertainment and ultimate-quality audio for over 65 years, is proud to announce the launch of three new preamplifers – the C1100, C52 and C47. Handcrafted at our Binghamton, NY factory, each product combines the best-in-class audio performance of the legendary McIntosh Reference System with the latest in technological development.
The C1100 preamplifier brings a new level of performance and luxury to McIntosh's heralded preamplifier offerings – evidenced by its high level inputs having the lowest noise of any McIntosh preamplifier ever produced. It utilizes a two-chassis design where the control and power sections are completely separate from the audio section. Absolute isolation of a preamplifier's two main functions – control and sound – is achieved by this unusual but effective design and will provide you with the purest sound reproduction possible for generations of listening enjoyment.
The C1100 is comprised of the C1100 controller and the C1100 vacuum tube preamplifier. Inside each, the left and right channels are electrically and mechanically isolated from each other to allow true dual mono operation – resulting in the ultimate stereo separation and sonic purity. The two units are connected together via a pair of specially designed, high performance umbilical cables that are shielded to prevent outside noise from leaking into the audio signal. While they are two separate units, when connected they act as one and are easy to control and operate from the included remote control or the C1100 controller front panel. Both units' chassis are comprised of polished stainless steel and hairline brushed black Titanium stainless steel, offering a new degree of richness and refinement.
The C52 is the most advanced, single chassis solid state preamplifier we've ever made. This feature packed stereo preamp lets you connect virtually any of your analog components and digital music sources – including those that play the latest high resolution formats such as DSD files – to one easy-to-use device to enjoy them all.
For connecting analog devices, it includes 3 balanced and 4 unbalanced fully assignable inputs plus 1 each of Moving Coil and Moving Magnet phono inputs for connecting a turntable and enjoying your vinyl collection. On the digital side, it has 3 optical, 2 coaxial and 1 USB input. The optical and coax inputs will decode digital music at up to 24-bit/192kHz for high resolution audio playback. The C52 is also capable of decoding and playing back DSD files for the latest in high fidelity performance; the USB input accepts PCM signals up to 32-bit/384kHz and supports DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256 plus DXD 352.8kHz and DXD 384kHz. An MCT input offers a secure, custom DSD connection for playback of the high definition audio found on SACDs when paired with the MCT450 SACD/CD Transport to deliver the purist possible sound quality from your CD library. The C52 features a 24-bit/192kHz, DSD digital-to-analog-converter (DAC).
Enjoy your music the way you want with the versatile C47 stereo preamplifier. With a total of 12 inputs, you can connect most if not all of your music sources. It even plays many of the latest high resolution digital formats – including DSD files.
For analog audio, it includes 2 balanced and 3 unbalanced fully assignable inputs plus 1 Moving Coil and 1 Moving Magnet phono input for connecting a turntable. The digital inputs are comprised of 2 optical, 1 coaxial and 1 USB input. The optical and coax inputs will decode digital music at up to 24-bit/192kHz for high resolution audio playback. The C47 can also decode and play back high fidelity DSD files via the USB input, which accepts signals up to 32-bit/384kHz and supports DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256 along with DXD 352.8kHz and DXD 384kHz. To enjoy the high definition audio found on SACDs, you can connect the C47 to the MCT450 SACD/CD Transport via the MCT input to create a secure and custom DSD connection.
All 3 models are available now. Please call us on 01202 911886 for further details.

Piling can be used for the formation of foundations in commercial and residential developments where large design loads or poor soil conditions require added support.
Charcon Construction Solutions offer all types of piling to meet your construction requirements - these include:
Precast driven piles are suitable for use in various soil types and are a good solution when dealing with soft or contaminated ground. These piles can be installed to required depths - usually top driven using hydraulic drop hammers - and can be extended using a suitable jointing system.
Steel driven piles have high load bearing capabilities and create a relatively small amount of soil displacement during installation. As with precast driven piles, these are installed to calculated depths and can be precoated and jointed as necessary.
Considered to be one of the quietest piling types to install, CFA piles are an ideal choice for environmentally sensitive areas.
This rapidly installed in-situ system involves bores being made into the ground using a specially designed auger flight boring rig. As the auger is extracted, a hollow stem contained within, simultaneously injects concrete into the bored void.
All piling types can be used in combination with Charcon's FASTBEAM system for fast, efficient foundations.

|Waltham Permission To Build
It's not to often that an album comes totally out of the blue and knocks me on my ass. Normally an album is expected or anticipated, but having only just been made aware of Waltham, I had no idea what was coming.
But one listen to these guys ensures they won't be forgotten! Yes, this is essentially a melodic modern rock (or nu-breed) style release, but don't let the tag fool you. You should not allow prior convictions bias you against checking these guys out. This is as melodic as it comes - in any form of music.
Waltham have so much to offer and have so much energy and enthusiasm, it's simply impossible not to get caught up in their utterly infectious grooves.
These guys have a modern approach to melodic rock, but in all seriousness, they are not that far removed from the classic 80's melodic rock so many of us love and crave.
For a band to claim Rick Springfield as a major influence can't be a bad thing. What I love about this album is the fact they really do claim a right to be compared to Rick. So many try, but fall well short. But Waltham to me sound close to what Rick might sound like had he been a 25 year old starting out in the business in 2003.
The whole album has this intense wall of guitars that bands like SR-71 and Marvelous 3 have nailed, yet moves beyond these guys with far catchier tunes and a real sense for pop melodies.
Permission To Build has a real Rick Springfield Working Class Dog vibe to it – which in reality is one of the great pop rock albums of all time.
Instead of the standard intro, verse, chorus arrangement, there are hooks inside guitar riffs, melodies inside vocal lines and a real sense of adventurous song writing.
Take Back To You for example. The chorus doesn't appear until more than 2 minutes into the song, yet we have already had 2 verses and a separate bridge. It makes life interesting, that's for sure.
Naturally, everything is seriously modernized, making this quite simply one of the best modern releases I have ever heard. Rarely have I heard such a consistently catchy collection of songs on one album.
Some modern rock acts struggle to change style or tempo, but every track here is different than the last and equally as rewarding.
The opening track So Lonely is one of the best feel good pop rock tracks I have heard in years. Utterly addictive and seriously melodic thanks to some brilliant guitar playing and well placed harmony vocals. All I Want is more urgent and has a faster tempo, more akin to the current SR-71 album, but features a huge anthem chorus and several more layers of guitars.
Cheryl just keeps things flowing with more pounding drums and a wall of guitars, with a very strong bridge / chorus arrangement.
Don't Say It's Too Late is pure power pop, while Hopeless is another instantly catchy gem with a modern production.
Laura is another pure genius track that matches the vibe of Working Class Dog especially closely.
The only ballad of the album is Say It Again, which is a heavy sentimental rock ballad.
The singer sounds as close to Rick Springfield as I have ever heard. Truly a great voice, which a number of bands these days are missing. I just hope some classic Rick fans will feel like checking this out. Much like Rick, these guys have a penchant for naming songs after girl's names!
The pounding rhythm section reminds me of the last Harem Scarem album Weight Of The World, which also featured classic melodic hooks to the beat of a modern production.
Waltham's drummer manages to pound the skins in much the same style, with several songs allowing for extra fills.
Move over SR-71 and Butch Walker, a new band has stolen your mantle as the new kings of nu-breed.
These guys have completely done my head in with this album of amazingly catchy, uptempo, heavy power pop. If you have been looking for something different - check these guys out. If this doesn't get you into nu-breed, then nothing ever will.

Two Challenges Individuals Do Not Have Knowledge Of Dealing With LASIK Eye TreatmentsThe eye can be analyzed with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye may be evaluated in a number of ways. The patient may be asked to determine illuminated letter or objects of differing sizes on what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In particular diseases, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased markedly.
Nevertheless, it ought to be well kept in mind that a client with an eye problem may have other issues as well. Often other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can inform the client and the physician to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms present themselves.
One's dependence on sight is highlighted when one faces a temporary or possible long-term loss of this important sense. For this reason, when corrective procedures are sought, certain kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgeries were developed to encourage decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Basically, LASIK eye surgery is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is remedied permanently.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are completely transformed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary function of this surgery is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a my sources series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, allowing better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that people must know. Probably, the primary reason this kind of eye surgery has actually become well accepted is since most of its cases had actually achieved success.
In spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most sensitive part of the eye
Due to the fact that LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate parts of the eye, the majority of people state that the operation can be very risky.
Simply puts, a basic mistake might nearly cause an individual's lifetime blindness. It is essential to think about lots of aspects before deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the best corrective measure one has to go through.
2. It is not a ideal treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment may fix your vision but it does not necessarily mean that it can provide you a twenty-twenty. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always mean they have ideal vision.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK might not always be the perfect eye surgery the method most individuals view it
On the other hand, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of ways. It must be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem may have other issues. Often other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can inform the client and the doctor to problems in some disruptions of other why not check here parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction.

If you want to indulge in e-bike riding, having fun is a given but staying safe must be the number one priority.
When it comes to rules and regulations there are a few one should pay attention to.
When it comes to helmet laws in Ontario, according to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, every cyclist under the age of 18 must wear an approved bicycle helmet.
But besides regular cycling and bikes the province of Ontario is conducting a three-year pilot project in order to evaluate the use of power-assisted bicycles, or e-bikes on the roads, which is open to everyone over 16.
An e-bike or an e-scooter is a regular bicycle assisted by a battery-powered electric motor that assists the rider in pedaling and increases the amount of power to the wheel.
The electric motor should not exceed 500 Watts power mark or the speed limit of 32 km/h. The e-bike should also not exceed the maximum weight of 120 kg and has to have a manufacturer label confirming the conformity with the federal definition of a power-assisted bicycle.
Every e-bike rider must wear an approved bicycle or motorcycle helmet. It must be noted that there is no separate electric scooter helmet law nor is there a specific electric scooter helmet so the rules that apply to regular bicycle helmet safety apply in this field also.
According to the Highway Traffic Act, no person shall ride or operate a motorcycle or motor assisted bicycle on a highway unless the person is wearing a helmet that complies with the regulations and the chin strap of the helmet is securely fastened under the chin."
If you don't know which helmet to use, there are simple pointers that can help you finding the right helmet for you. Look for a helmet that fits comfortably and meets safety standards. Inside of each helmet there are stickers you should look for.
Ministry of Transportation suggests looking for stickers from one or more of the following organizations:
To be sure you are wearing the helmet properly follow several simple tips:
Be aware that you can ride the e-bike on most roads and highways where conventional bikes are permitted, with some exceptions. However, it is illegal to modify the motor of the power-assisted bicycle or e-scooter in order to reach greater speed.
So the next time you go out for a ride on your e-bike, wear a bicycle or motorcycle helmet, and have one thing in mind, safety comes first and wearing a helmet is the number one rule in bicycling safety.
If you have any questions about choosing the right helmet, call us today to speak to a Scooteretti associate. We can help you find the right helmet that will fit both your style, and comfort!

Chris Brown's bodyguard and a female bystander suffered head injuries in the recent nightclub scuffle, it has been revealed.
The Fortune singer previously took to Twitter to complain that he was hit by a flying bottle at the W.i.P venue in New York on Wednesday night (June 13), although he later deleted the posts.
Pictured - Chris Brown's cut chin (left); the W.i.P nightclub after the scuffle (right)
Drake - who was at the club that night - was later forced to deny allegations that he was involved in the incident, after reports suggested that the two artists had got into a fight.
It has now emerged that Brown's bodyguard Big Pat was hospitalised with a large cut on his head in the melee that ensued, while female clubgoer Hollie also needed stitches after she was hit by a stray bottle.
"Within a few moments of noticing glass being thrown around, I saw a glass bottle headed towards me, consequently hitting me in the head," Hollie told TMZ.
"I immediately started to bleed and proceeded to fall in and out of consciousness."
Recalling her journey home after being released from hospital, she added: "I had to take the subway home with no money or jacket. Nobody would even sit beside me. My friends were so scared because they did not know where I was."
According to the website, multiple members of both Brown's and Drake's crews required medical assistance.
Insiders previously added that the fight was not about Rihanna, who has been linked romantically to both Brown and Drake.

I learned two interesting facts while browsing the internet today: 1) Soliciting sex from 14-year-olds is widely regarded as illegel, and 2) Time.com recently published this blog.
Go ahead and read that blog. Seriously, click the link and read all of it. Savor it, take it all in, and then savor it some more.
Now go ahead and read this blog. Notice any similarities?
Ok, for those too lazy or illiterate to read those links, I'll sum up my point here: Time.com contributor Jon Meacham recently posted a blog explaining the importance of Mitt Romney's upcoming vice presidential pick, and he used failed VP picks from the past like Thomas Eagleton and Sarah Palin to illustrate his point. Now that's all fine and dandy, except for the fact that I wrote the same damn blog all the way back in April!
I see how it is, Mr. Meacham. What, is the internet just some vast, unregulated frontier where everyone's ideas are at jeopardy of being stolen and manipulated? Oh, just because you're the executive vice president of Random House publishing, a Pulitzer Prize winning political commentator and former editor of Newsweek, you think it's acceptable to steal some lowly blogger's idea?
I always knew I couldn't trust Time. Despite its name, I learned that carrying a Time Magazine in your pocket is not a reasonable substitute for wearing a watch. And is it simply "Time" or "Time-Life," anyway? And where does the "Lifetime Channel" factor into all of this?? If only they would settle on one shitty name so I could figure out which address to send all my hatemail to.
Even though it's difficult to type while standing up, I'm not going to take this injustice sitting down. No sir. Think of how easy it is to catch plagiarizers with the power of the internet. Look what they did to Jonah Lehrer – they caught that mofo redhanded. And who is that other popular columnist that recently made headlines for plagiarism allegations? None other than Time Magazine's own Fareed Zakaria!
That's right people: Time Magazine has been operating under a culture of theft and lies, and I possess the half-assed evidence to prove it. While none of my words were technically lifted verbatim by Meacham, my idea can be seen in his writing plain as day. I'll let Time sum up their views on idea theft from their statement released after the Zakaria controversy:
Time accepts Fareed's apology, but what he did violates our own standards for our columnists, which is that their work must not only be factual but original; their views must not only be their own but their words as well.
Now I am no expert on copyright law, but I do know how to jump to conclusions and get angry when I feel that I've been slighted. So, WordPress Nation, reread the aforementioned blogs and tell me if I am justified in feeling slighted. And while you're at it, be sure to rereread this blog and relish in its unique blend political commentary and witty humor.

I decided I would just buy 2 baby cakes, since we are not big cake eaters anyway. For $6.99 x 2, I was happy to not have to stress about making cakes the next day, when I still had to get ready for the grandparents to come over, clean my house, wrap presents, make dinner, make birthday banners and take care of the birthday boys. Yes, this was still too good to be true, free or not.
I ordered 2 all white mini cakes. And asked for "Happy Birthday Hank/George!" on the tops, in another color. I watched him write up the order. Simple simple.

What on earth is going on with the weather?
Huge storms, gales, torrential rain, biblical flooding...... it's an apocalyptic end of days scenario right across the country.
And yes, I know it's winter and we are supposed to have bad weather but come on...... this is just ridiculous!
According to the Met Office, we're set to have a sequence of dreadful storms right throughout January.
So that's something to look forward to then.
It was pitch black at 3.30 pm this afternoon, at which point we had a spectacular thunderstorm, accompanied by winds which would knock you off your feet and horizontal rain.
By contrast, this morning, although very windy, we had a few hours of clear blue skies, so we decided to walk Small Dog along the promenade, round about high tide at noon. It certainly was dramatic, and we didn't get at all close to the edge of the sea wall, where waves and spray were crashing up onto the path. However, despite this, I saw one chap, camera in hand, set off down a set of steps onto the beach, presumably in order to get some spectacular shots. Had he been swept off the steps by a rogue wave, nobody would have heard his screams for help above the rumble of the boiling sea.
We didn't walk far.
Small Dog doesn't like tail winds so after a short time we took shelter from the wind in one of the shelters along the seafront and stood watching, transfixed by the sheer power of the massive walls of water crashing down. Apparently it was still quite tame at midday, and has become much worse since. We won't even be venturing out at all tomorrow if the forecast is to be believed.
I suppose I have to start taking down the Christmas decorations this weekend, although it will leave the house feeling so dark and gloomy. I think there should be January and February decorations, specially designed to cheer during the two most miserable months in the calendar. I'm sorely tempted to leave the twinkling fireplace garland in situ, and I may succumb to sprinkling some led fairy lights around the house in various locations.
It feels like a very, very long time till Spring........

I have to agree about Jan & Feb being so gloomy and I too hate to see the Christmas decorations go as at least it brings a bit of fun to winter.
Hopefully Spring isn't too far away!

Crazy weather this year (& last) for sure. I don't know what is going on. So sad that Christmas is over...it seemed to come and go so quickly this year.

OK, this afternoon, a guy from FIJI asked me about the DVD problem. He said that he cannot play the DVD with the error
"Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer."
OK this cause by missing decoder or the decoder not installed. If you browse Microsof website the solution is:
click start - run - type dvdupgrd /upgrade
OK, for me there is another solution that i like and my favourite which is installing codec packs. The price is FREE.
I recommend installing these codec pack to solve the problems:
K-lite codec pack (FULL)
XP codec pack
Tiger Player/MPCstar
Not necessarily you need all of those, in my PC I install Klite Codec pack, tiger player, Real Player, Real alternative and Windows Media Player Classic.

One of the very best ways for Taylor Swift to get people to forget about her love life (at least for a minute) is to redirect their attention towards one of her newest efforts. The mega-star is teaming up with Keds to encourage young women in her new Bravehearts commercial. The goal is to encourage young women to stand up and have fun, experiment and to embrace being unique.
In the video spot Taylor Swift recalls one of the biggest risks that she and her family took. She spent years dreaming of moving to Nashville and finally managed to convince her parents to make it a reality. They uprooted the family and left everything behind in Pennsylvania with the hopes that Taylor would make it in the music industry. Years later that brave risk paid off in a huge way.
Bravehearts.com is a site aimed at encouraging young women and it's worth a look. In the commercial spot Taylor offers some great advice,
"Time to dip your toe into the deep end. Try things. Say hi already. Laugh a lot. Mess up. Apologize. Mess up again. Hug people. Take chances. Trust yourself. Lose things. Get over it. Hold your friends close. Be brave and you'll have the time of your life."
As for the stars partnership with Keds, she's actually designing a line of 9 sneakers that will hit store shelves in April. That totally falls into the whole line of being unique and creative! So while Taylor's love life is in the dumpster, at least we can solidly confirm that her career is still soaring!

Media is a major influence on today's youth, although its effects are not always readily apparent. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics February 2001 Report, the average child spends approximately three hours a day watching television.
Although studies disagree about the direct impact that TV violence has on children, most experts agree that too much TV is just not a good thing. Here are some ways you can take control over the television that your grandkids watch.
Talk with the kids about what they are watching. Make sure they understand the program and its issues.
Educate kids about what to look for when watching TV. What is the message? Who created the message? How are the people and lifestyles in this program similar and different from your family situation?
Limit how much TV children watch and what they watch. If possible, preview the programs before they watch them.
Encourage the kids to be critical viewers. Who is the message targeting? What is omitted from the message? What points of view are portrayed in the message?
View television with children and discuss what they see in both programs and commercials. Jean Kilbourne's video Killing Us Softly 3 reveals that the average American spends three years of his/her life just watching television commercials! Stress that TV programs and commercials are created to target certain audiences and make money.
Invite other adults to discuss their concerns about television with you - share and learn from each other.
Set an example for children. Carefully choose what you watch and limit your own intake of TV viewing.
Instruct others who care for your children to follow these tips.
Open the lines of communication for future discussions with children about television and media.
Never use TV as a babysitter!

Generic Medicines
Taj Pharma is the largest generic pharmaceutical company in India. We hold top positions in different established markets worldwide generics markets..
Right at the heart of Europe and with a history intertwined with that of its neighbours Slovakia has proudly preserved its own language and distinct cultural traditions.
It was part of Czechoslovakia until the "velvet divorce" in January 1993. The subsequent independence years can be divided into several chapters.
The story in chapter one revolved around frosty relations with the European Union and Nato combined with rejection of economic reform.
Chapter two saw a complete change of direction and moves to embrace all three culminating in EU and Nato membership in 2004.
For the first five years after independence there was growing international criticism of the lack of respect for minority rights and the democratic process shown by the authoritarian prime minister Vladimir Meciar.
He led a string of coalition governments pursuing nationalist and populist policies until October 1998 when an alliance of liberals centrists left-wingers and ethnic Hungarians ousted him forming a new coalition with Mikulas Dzurinda as prime minister.
Under Mr Dzurinda Slovakia forged ahead with an economic reform programme and saw a boost in foreign investment. His government also tried to improve the lot of minorities.
Slovakia's ethnic Hungarian community seeks greater educational and cultural autonomy. The country has a significant Romany population who suffer disproportionately high levels of poverty and social deprivation.
The post-war Benes decrees which called for the expulsion of 3 million ethnic Germans and 600000 ethnic Hungarians from then-Czechoslovakia and the confiscation of their property remain a sensitive issue in relations with neighbours.
President: Ivan Gasparovic
Ivan Gasparovic defeated former Prime Minister Vladimir Meciar in the second round of the presidential elections in April 2004 on the eve of EU entry.
During his election campaign he supported EU accession but criticised the minority government's EU-oriented economic reforms.
In April 2009 Mr Gasparovic became the first president of Slovakia to win re-election when he defeated his centre-right challenger Iveta Radicova in the second round of voting by more than ten percentage points. He received more than 55% of the vote.
The president appoints the prime minister. However parliament exercises legislative power.
Prime minister: Robert Fico
The left-wing Smer Party led by Robert Fico won nearly 30% of the votes but not enough seats to govern alone at general elections in June 2006.
Robert Fico has put social welfare at the top of his agenda
The president appointed Mr Fico prime minister after he reached a coalition agreement with the centre-left Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS) led by Vladimir Meciar and the right-wing Slovak National Party. The three parties together have 85 seats in the 150 seat parliament.
The new government replaced the centre-right coalition led by Mikulas Dzurinda. During his eight years as prime minister Mr Dzurinda steered through an economic reform package which won praise from international organisations but was far less popular with the voters. He also oversaw EU and Nato entry.
Mr Fico has said that his main priority was to strengthen social welfare measures reversing some of the policies of the previous government. Analysts are watching closely to see what impact his policies will have on the 2009 target date for euro entry.
Mr Fico approved the withdrawal of Slovakia's troops in Iraq which numbered around 110 by the end of 2007. He had described the invasion of Iraq as "unbelieveably unjust and wrong." Slovakia also has troops in Afghanistan.
Mr Fico was 41 when he became prime minister. He is a former human rights lawyer.
• The coalition came close to collapse in November 2007 over controversial land deals at an agency supervised by Mr Meciar's HZDS party.
Private network Markiza claims the lion's share of the TV audience. Cable and satellite TV are widely watched as are channels from the neighbouring Czech Republic and Hungary.
All major dailies are privately-owned and there are more than 20 private radio stations.
The constitution guarantees a free press. However a controversial provision in the 2008 Press Act which obliges newspapers to publish responses from individuals who say their reputation has been harmed by an article has been condemned by media rights bodies and journalists.
The Vienna-based International Press Institute warned in 2009 that the "targeting" of the press through defamation cases was causing alarm among journalists.
By May 2008 there were 2.7 million internet users (Internetworldstats).

The Second Helping
The Second Helping, established in November 1998, is the primary local mission of First Congregational United Church of Christ. The Second Helping is a Sunday evening community meal that is open to anyone who needs it. Guests are served a home-cooked dinner at 6:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall and are given a sack lunch with food for breakfast and lunch the next day.
We serve dinner on every Sunday, including holidays. The average number of guests served is 25-35 each week. In a typical year, we serve over 2,500 meals.
The Second Helping is funded through our operating budget and special gifts to this ministry. On the first Sunday of each month we "Fill the Breadbasket" during worship. You are invited to bring a cash donation or items for our lunch sacks, such as individual flavored oatmeal packets, granola bars,or individually-wrapped snack crackers (such as cheese or peanut butter).
Each year there are about 400 volunteer slots to fill, representing nearly 1500 volunteer hours. Volunteers come from the church, the community, and student groups at K-State. If you are interested in volunteering, you can e-mail the office to be connected to our volunteer coordinator.
Common Table Garden
As a part of our Second Helping ministry, we are involved with Common Table. The mission of Common Table is to support existing ministries which provide community meals in Manhattan, KS and to work towards expanding these meals to seven days a week and providing educational programs. The Common Table Garden is located on part of our property, just northwest of the church on Humboldt Street. We work with Common Table to coordinate the garden and the food is used to supply Second Helping and other community meals. To learn more about volunteering in the garden, please contact the church office.
