Black & Decker JE2200B 400-Watt Fruit and Vegetable Juice Extractor with Custom Juice Cup on Masticating Juicer
I desired a new Masticating Juicer, tried two Juiceman designs and veggie juice generate wasn't amazing and pulp a little too soaked. I saw this one at Wal-mart and I believed "no way could a $30 veggie juice device be great." I was incorrect. It's more lightweight and I'm all for pulp-extraction but not if it's from an large package seated on the back of it. If you're just making veggie juice for one to a few people at once, you don't need it. This masticating juicer has the right scaled package and just sets within the body of it. It gets better: Because the nourish chute stops very close to the reducing edge (a problem many veggie juice device designs need to correct) it doesn't spend sections of generate. The pulp is more dry than about 7 other drinks I've held or tried. I've been using it 1x/day for 2 several weeks now. I still cannot believe this inexpensive masticating juicer outperforms so many others. The only con is the nourish chute is little so I'm reducing wider areas of green beans in 50 percent, celery lesser, etc. No issue as I'm usually just juicing for myself. Small compromise for a lightweight, less noisy veggie juice device. Other tip: fresh the display freezing water soothing via a smooth or child brush then shop the sweep in the fresh pulp extraction cup if you want. Enjoy!
I like the masticating juicer a lot. The lips of the starting is a little on the little side significance that I have to cut the veggie and fruit up little but other that that, it does what it should. This masticating juicer was easy for me to set up and take apart. The washing is not an all day process. One suggestion is to buy a washing sweep for the edge if you do not have a dish washer.
Product details:
Skip the juice bar and get all your favorite fresh juices right from your counter. With 400 watts of power and a stainless steel cutter and strainer, you can juice all your favorite fruits and vegetables. The large, integrated pulp container takes up less counter space, while a custom juice cup mades serving easy. All this, plus slip-resistant feet and dishwasher-safe parts that made cleanup a snap.

Blue Bulls flyhalf Louis Fouche will face a late fitness test ahead of his team's Currie Cup clash against the Sharks in Durban.
Fouche, who's the current Currie Cup top points scorer (102), is struggling with injury and has been bracketed with Lionel Cronje in the starting line-up. A final call on his availability will be made later this week.
In one other change, CJ Stander will wear the No 8 jersey at Kings Park. Arno Botha moves to blindside flank with Jacques Potgieter on Springbok duty.
Blue Bulls – 15 Jurgen Visser, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Francois Venter, 11 Sampie Mastriet, 10 Louis Fouchè/Lionel Cronjè, 9 Jano Vermaak, 8 CJ Stander, 7 Arno Botha, 6 Dewald Potgieter (c), 5 Franco Mostert, 4 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Willie Wepener, 1 Morne Mellett.

What is it with us blue bulls keeping with the slow kicking flyhalves? Morne steyn and louis fouche is similar in playing style would love to see lionel starting and louis resting this one out?

js in WordPress
OK, I was having this issues in another thread, but I didn't really know how to ask the right question. I figured out my beef with scripts and plug-ins that are not specially made for WP. Many times it requires a block of js code in the HTML file...right? And for some reason, for me, that seems to screw things up. The answer I guess would be to put it in the functions.php file, but I can never seem to touch that file without screwing it up.I'm wondering how your theme is set up? Only in very rare circumstances should you be inserting JS through a Post or Page. You should be editing your theme (most likely the header.php) to include JS files.not in a post/page...Sometimes you need to enter script tags in the header.php file and then add a block of code (even though it's already linking to an external js file) in the head tag or right after the footer tage. Does that make sense?
I was doing that a lot when I was building site with Dreamweaver.Totally makes sense.
Can you give an example of what you've tried that has screwed something up?I was trying to use this plug-in for a Dynamic Grid Layout.
https://github.com/GBKS/Wookmark-jQueryIt looks pretty simple, how are you including it in your theme files?I entered the external js in a script tag in the head, and then that block of code at the bottom, right before the closing body tag....that's the way they have it in their example. It didn't work. Could it have been conflicting with something in the functions.php file? I'm not touching that. When it comes to js I only copy and paste.
I have since found a WP plugin for this behavior, but would still like to know how to deal with these non-WP plug-ins.This line:<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.wookmark.js"></script>
Needs to go after you include jQuery - sounds like you might have accidentally been putting it before.I made sure the script tags were in order and still couldn't get it to work.
One script I am trying to use requires a block of js in the head tag and another right before the closing body tag. I have a feeling it's just too easy to have conflicts??
I tried putting them the theme .php files, I also found a few wordpress plug-ins that allow custom js and css per page and it's still not working.
Anyway, thanks for trying to helpif you are including js files into wordpress, you should be using wp_enqueue_script in your functions.php file. You could even take it a step further and use conditionals for your page
http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tagsthat's the thing...everytime I try to do anything to the functions.php file I screw it up.
I'd rather not touch itif you are not using wp_enqueue_script to include your scripts then you are doing it wrong. Just make a backup copy of the functions.php file that way if you screw it up, you can always fix it. Not using the wp_enqueue_script can mess up other plugins. There is a reason the function does exist. If you are going to mess with WordPress, then you must get comfortable messing with the functions.php. Just go all the way to the bottom of the file and start your custom stuff.

Just some thoughts |
Friday, 04 May 2012 12:43 |
I actually agree with Nathan and Xavier.
Please keep in mind that much of my reservation towards any selection of manager or players is due to the complete incompetence of the FPF. They have proven time after time, how poorly a job they've done.
We might all disagree with squad selection and starting eleven, but the fact is that choices might be limited.
I still think that Bento and the FPF need to do a better job of tracking Portuguese abroad. I know there was a documentary that showed how they do just that, but the fact of the matter is that not enough fruits of that labor have come forth. Yes some is players not developing but clearly players have been missed.
I'm hoping that one of the reasons that Bento got the new deal was because of the vision that he put forth for the FPF. Confidence and a plan goes a long way towards possible success.
As for the players themselves, we mostly agree to disagree. Jon and Tiago on the site have come after me for saying Moutinho isn't world class. I too feel hat he's a good, maybe very good, that looks very good or great if players around him play really well. It's very hard for him to get it done verse top notch players. I don't feel that's a knock on Moutinho, and it doesn't mean he shouldn't start.
People still want Varela there while he did nothing this season. Martins and Micael, in my opinion, shouldn't be on the squad either.
As for Carrico, I get the sudden fascination, but he still hasn't gotten full matches at Sporting. There's a huge difference coming into a match and producing and playing a whole match while competing at that same high level. I do feel that he, and other youngsters, warrant a call up for the experience they would get from just being there.
For me, one of the biggest gripes is playing guys away from their natural position. Danny and Oliveira out wide does absolutely nothing for the squad.
As for Mourinho, he's not coming. He himself has stated that it's an old mans job. He's much to young not to be involved in daily club operations, and no club will allow him to do it part-time as some have suggested. Frankly, that option will do the players and country a disservice.
I just hope that we do well. Advancing deep and even winning is the goal, as it always should be. We have talented players that could get it done, so we'll see.

A civic lottery, a popular term for the contemporary use of sortition or allotment, refers to a lottery-based method for selecting citizens for public service or office. It is based on the premise that citizens in a democracy have both a duty and the desire to serve their society by participating in its governance.
Today, the most common use of the civic lottery process is found in many Anglo-Saxon judicial systems where citizen juries are summoned to hear and render verdicts in court cases. The term for this is popularly known as jury duty.
ConsiderIt is an internet-based platform that stems from the basis of personal deliberation into a form of public deliberation. It allows users to examine trade-offs and the vantage points of other users on proposed actions such as ballot measures, by forming deliberation around a list of pro and cons authored, adopted, and shared by various people using the platform. The design process began with the goal of supporting a voters guide written by community members in the 2010 U.S. election.

The goal of Project Threepio is to provide some good-quality subtitle options for existing Star Wars Original Original Trilogy (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi) preservation projects, and to provide a framework with which anyone can, with relative ease, add or change subtitles for incorporation into different preservation projects. This will, I hope, help to broaden the appeal of our preservation efforts beyond the English-speaking world.
The project files include graphical subtitles, sources/utilities (which include text subtitles for most languages), and instructions. The project is more-or-less complete right now. If you want more information (more than you ever wanted!), keep reading.
NOTE: Thai 720p subtitles in this project have a problem--please see post 141 for how to fix them.
SDH: Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing--important audio cues are provided in bracketed text.
CIH: Constant Image Height--typically projector systems but also some newer ultra-widescreen displays that do not display black bars on the top and bottom of the screen (so subtitles cannot be located there).
LTR/RTL: Most languages are written left-to-right (LTR). Some languages, such as Arabic, are written from right-to-left (RTL).
This project contains 720p BD-SUP files and NTSC DVD SUP/IFO files (graphical overlays) for all of the listed languages, which is what to use if you are planning to burn discs. If you need subtitles in another format, this project also contains instructions for how to convert subtitles to other formats (i.e. SUB/IDX, PAL DVD, 1080p, BDN+XML, etc).
All subtitles are GOUT-timed, and designed to accompany video with English crawl text and burnt-in alien subs.
The filenames indicate the contents: -en means English, -en-sdh means English SDH, -pt-br means Brazilian Portuguese, -forced indicates crawl text and alien subtitles only, -full means all subtitles including crawl text and alien subtitles, and -native means all subtitles excluding crawl text and alien subtitles.
Forced subtitles are included only for certain languages that have dubs available that do not voice over the opening crawls (e.g. Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese), and are designed to accompany that dub (but no dubs are included in this project). All other subtitles are designed to accompany the original English surround mixes (i.e. they do not necessarily match dialogue from the mono mix, foreign dubs, or later revisions).
All subtitles in this project are CIH-safe, which means that they are designed to display entirely inside the frame of the film.
One set of English subtitles is called "matching" subtitles, in which I attempted to match the general font family, size, and position of the burnt-in subtitles of some popular preservations. The matches are not exact, but they are close, and in my opinion, the subtitles blend pretty naturally when watching the movies. The matching SUP filenames also specify which preservation they are designed to accompany, due to slight variations in the appearance of the burnt-in subtitles in various projects. These projects are either supported now or support is planned when they are available: DeEdv1, DeEdv2, DJ-DVDv3, DJU2-Bluv2.
For Empire, which has no burnt-in subtitles, the "matching" appearance was made to match the burnt-in subs for Star Wars.
This project also contains SRT files (text+timing) for most supported languages (the exceptions are explained later, under "Scaled Subtitles"). Although these can be used directly with some software players, their primary purpose is simply as a source for creating graphical subtitles.
There are also SRT files for the mono mix, in English only, for those who want them--I have not rendered these into graphical subtitles to avoid confusion. I have added the suffix -rtl to the names of files for RTL languages, as a reminder that they need special treatment when rendering.
Some languages (currently Japanese and Thai) have subtitles available partially or entirely as scaled standard-definition graphical overlays, rather than SRT files rendered into graphics. Sometimes full or partial SRT files are provided from alternate sources as a convenience, but the scaled graphics are always recommended as the best source for that language, even though they don't look quite as nice in HD as the rendered subtitles.
I do not consider home video subtitles to have any particular historical value, except that they make the trilogy more broadly accessible, so fidelity to existing subtitles was not a priority for this project.
Whenever possible, I modified my subtitles to display more text onscreen for a longer duration, which is generally considered easier to read than briefer flashes of short text. I made a lot of effort to maintain dialogue fidelity in the English subtitles (e.g. when C-3PO says "importances", I don't correct him). Both of these factors should help hearing-impaired lip-readers, but they should also help preserve the flavor of the original dialogue for all viewers, and help viewers who read more slowly. Occasionally this will result in text that appears onscreen after the character is done talking, but this was done intentionally to ensure the text was onscreen long enough to read.
Dialogue that was present but inaudible in the original English surround mixes (e.g. Lando's "We're sure in the middle of it now.") was not included, and I occasionally had to drop an inconsequential line such as "Yes, sir." to make everything fit better timing-wise. For foreign subtitles, I tried to subtitle all dialogue (even "No" and character names) whenever possible, out of consideration for the hearing impaired, although the foreign subs are not SDH.
Because the burnt-in subtitles use both leading and trailing ellipses (three dots at the beginning and end) for continuing dialogue, and because this also appears to be common practice on commercial disc subtitles, I've done this for my subtitles as well, whenever I could find an indication that this was an acceptable practice in the given language. Also, for double-dialogue, I opted to use slightly larger en-dashes instead of hyphens to improve visibility.
If you disagree with any of these judgment calls (there were clearly quite a few, and I didn't even list them all), this project contains the files and instructions you would need to make your own subtitles.
My biggest judgment call by far was how to handle SDH subtitles for R2-D2. Leaving him out altogether was not an option, but simple "beep beep"-style sound effects didn't do justice to his varied and nuanced sound effects vocabulary. Instead I decided to go a little wild with the adverbs--he beeps cheerily, hums nervously, etc. Clearly through this method I am forcing my own interpretation into the subtitles, but so be it. Forcing him to have no personality at all would have been a much worse choice in my opinion.
Although these subtitles should work with any GOUT-timed preservation, the subtitles are timed specifically to avoid odd-looking conflicts with the burnt-in subtitles in certain preservations, and adjustments may be required when used for other purposes. You may notice that the largest deviations from audio sync are in areas with burnt-in alien subtitles, due to the fact that I shifted my subtitles to work better with the timing of the burnt-in ones.
This project also contains instructions for how to create new SUP files from the SRT files, and how to mux the SUP files into your final project. The instructions are Windows-only, but some of the processes could likely be converted to work on other platforms. Note to beginners: unless you are making changes to the text or appearance of the subtitles, all you need to do is mux the included SUP files! The instructions make reference to fonts and software that are not included in this project, and you will need to get these for yourself (the software and fonts are free).
Let me preface this by saying I don't plan much in the way of updates for these files. Subtitles are very subjective, and I believe mine still have room for improvement. That said, I'm fairly happy with their current state, and I'm fluent only in English, so the heavy lifting for most future changes would need to be done entirely by others. At most, I could act as some sort of project manager/subtitle clearinghouse for changes. But I could also just sit back and let people handle corrections themselves, which may be better and less complicated. Frankly I'm a little burnt out on this project, which started as an SDH/matching English-only project and grew way beyond its original scope, and I'd be happy to simply call it done.
The only updates I am planning are matching graphical overlays for Harmy's Despecialized ROTJ 2.0, once I know what the burnt-in subtitles will look like for that.
Obviously I would love for people to include these by default in their preservations, but that is ultimately up to them, and they are perfectly free to use or discard whichever parts of this project they want. Sales pitch: several subtitles consume less space than even a single alternate soundtrack! I will definitely answer questions and help people incorporating this project into their own preservations. Feedback and corrections are always appreciated even if I don't seem inclined to change anything right now.
At a mere twenty-four languages, Project Threepio still lags quite a bit behind its namesake. Specifically: Bengali, Hindi, Vietnamese, Urdu, and Ukrainian would go a long way toward allowing the whole world to see Star Wars again. Remember that the current embargo against Star Wars affects the entire world, and English-only preservations don't do much to help a large number of Star Wars fans out there who are currently afflicted with the Special Editions. I am accepting contributions of good-quality GOUT-timed subtitles for these and other languages, and improvements to existing subtitles. I know some of the "unverified" subtitles could definitely use some work!

And of course Harmy, dark_jedi and You_Too for providing the reasons for this project to exist at all.
Please note all screenshots are using SUP files. The appearance of subtitles when using the SRT files can vary a great deal.
Subtitles are moved to the top of the frame for title and crawl subtitles, to prevent overlapping onscreen text as much as possible.
Double-dialogue. Note that the two lines of dialogue are aligned along their left sides (LTR languages only), like on many commercial discs.
Foreign subs for alien subtitles are also moved to the top of the frame. In rapid back-and-forth dialogue like Han and Greedo, all dialogue is shifted to the top to prevent the viewer from having to repeatedly switch from reading the top to the bottom of the screen.
SDH subtitles use a black background.

AvatarWell, no one else has replied so I'll chime in. Thanks for the work man! Subtitles are one of the little things that I feel fan edits / preservations should have to add a feeling of legitimacy, so these should fit the bill.

Padawan LearnerCool project! I think it was You_too who posted a couple of random screenshots in Harmy's thread a while ago with the Greedo subs layed over. Ever since then I've had an urge to watch the entire OT with Greedo-style subs (translated in swedish)! :) I'm gonna check this out :)
This user is offline.
@Memorex: Unfortunately, there is no font that matches the Greedo subs perfectly. It had to be customized in photoshop to look like the original.
On the other hand, the original theatrical subs in sweden didn't look like that. Check Puggo's swedish 16mm version.

Looking at various .srt files for SW found online and one of the things I noticed is that although it's the same subtitle the timing was different between languages. Probably because each language was most likely done by someone from that background or more realistically timed to that languages dub.
Another thing with subtitles and the projects around here is they don't always conform to one timing, some are GOUT sync'd others might be LD, DVD, BD sync'd. I think it should be possible to modify the start-end times in a spreadsheet so that the re-timed start-end can be calculated for a different project.
This user is offline.
A légpárnás hajóm tele van angolnákkal.Good point, none. FWIW all of my subs all use the same timings, except where part of a line isn't subtitled. i.e. "Uh, slight weapons malfunction." might be subbed in another language as "Slight weapons malfunction.", and I'd try to shift a foreign sub like that so that the subtitle doesn't appear on the "Uh", unless the line is spoken so quickly it's not relevant. Mine were definitely all timed to go with English audio--foreign dubs were not considered except that I made forced subs (crawl+alien only) available for them.
But yeah, if you have some sort of transform function from GOUT->other, I'm sure you could convert them to other formats as needed.

Great project CatBus! What an enormous job!
I skimmed through the SRT file of Star Wars and noticed that a couple of minor issues from the official DVD subs carried over:
00:09:25, 163 --> 00:09:27, 663
What a desolate place this is!
Not an actual error but the exclamation mark here seems out of place to me.
01:09:19, 654 --> 01:09:22, 614
- What?
- Well, more well than you can imagine.
Should be, wealth. I don't know, maybe this is part of your effort to maintain dialogue fidelity?
01:45:49, 051 --> 01:45:51, 576
Fall in! Fall in!
should be, Pull in! Luke, pull in! (more audible in the Mono mix)
01:46:53, 883 --> 01:46:56, 883
Switch all power to front deflector screen.
screens (more audible in the Mono mix)
01:52:10, 065 --> 01:52:12, 865
Hurry up, Luke!
Quick! Quick!
I think this should be Wait! Quick! (more audible in the Mono mix)
For those of you who would like to have regular English subs to accompany the Mono mix, but aren't sure what all the differences are, just change/add these lines. May need some adjustments done to the timings though.
00:50:55, 687 --> 00:50:57, 987
Alright, check this side of the street.
Change to:
Alright, check that side of the street.
00:51:01, 761 --> 00:51:04, 224
The door's locked. Move on to the next one.
Change to:
It's secure. Move on to the next one.
01:06:58, 699 --> 01:07:01, 169 (not sure about the timing)

Change to:
There's a heavy fire zone on this side.
Red Five, where are you?
(It's the same guy saying both lines, so no need for hyphens.)
01:46:21, 417 --> 01:46:23, 544
Blast it, Biggs! Where are you?
Change to:
Blast it, Wedge! Where are you?
I think that is all that needs to be changed.

@msycamore: Good that you pointed those typos and errors out, since me and DJ are using the subs for our project. Thanks.
EDIT: The "Switch all power to front deflector screen(s)" line is actually correct like it is. The reason it sounds like "screens" is that they replay the line without a gap = "Switch all power to front deflector screenSwitch all power to front deflector screen". At least that's what it sounds like to me.
This user is offline.
A légpárnás hajóm tele van angolnákkal.Wow, thanks for the feedback, msycamore! I think part of the problem with my grand plan was that the GOUT English subs were very inaccurate so I rarely used them for reference, so I had no proofreader other than myself. So thank you very much for the proofread.
As far as my subjective take, I'm agreeing with all of your corrections (even "deflector screens") except the exclamation mark. Although the line delivery is definitely unexcited, I think the exclamation still fits in context.
Also, thanks for the mono mix inserts/changes. I won't be including them but I appreciate the additions. Thanks also for the undeserved credit on the "more wealth" line. If I tried to dub every inadequately articulated line as-is, I'd have a much harder job. No, this was just an ordinary mistake.
I will be uploading corrected subs soon.

Take a listen to the lines in the mono mix and you'll hear it, it's also how it appears in the published script.
Another one is "We're passing through the magnetic field" Could be "We're passing through their magnetic field" that's how it appeared in the published/forged script which are more or less based on the dialogue in the film not the other way around, but if you cannot hear the difference it doesn't really matter, I cannot, these are also such trivial things that it doesn't change anything important being one way or the other.
A funny Threepio line that is missing is his response to Owen's "Shut up" where Threepio answers "Shutting up, sir." I can see why CatBus omitted it, as readability is always more important, but here's how I handled it when I did my own a few years ago:
119 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,568 Yeah, all right. Shut up. I'll take this one. 120 00:17:50,633 --> 00:17:51,934 -Shutting up, sir. -Luke!

A légpárnás hajóm tele van angolnákkal.Yes, exactly. That line was really borderline for me. It was screwing up timing for readability and because of the dialogue overlap and other noises it's also actually an easy line to simply not hear at all (although it's certainly not inaudible). So I left it out. That was intentional.

CatBus said:
Wow, thanks for the feedback, msycamore!
No problem, you have done a fantastic job on these, must have taken forever.

CatBus said: I'm agreeing with all of your corrections (even "deflector screens") except the exclamation mark. Although the line delivery is definitely unexcited, I think the exclamation still fits in context.
That was the only correction that I didn't agree with either. I would always use an exclamation mark there because the remark is constructed as an outcry. Msycamore's knowledge of the details of the dialogue is certainly most impressive though. I found this one interesting:

because I've always heard the rather than their, but I suppose it could either, and perhaps the accent's throwing me a little. Regardless of the script, I wonder what the actor would say that he said. (I didn't know that some of the lines were clearer in the mono mix than the stereo, because I always listen to the latter, so I'll have to listen to that line again.)
EDIT: I listened to the mono mix and, while it could be either, it definitely sounds more like their. Interesting!

Son of the SunsMight I suggest checking the lines questioned from the scripts? That's what I do. You really can't rely on the DVD subs at all.

Yeah, I guess you guys are right, an exclamation mark could be fitting there. Btw if you want even more completeness, Threepio utter the words "Oh, no" after the laser blast hit near him, before he says, "I'm going to regret this." when he enter the escape pod.

Yes, I noticed that the Mono mix was of good use when I did my subs due to the unprocessed dialogue in the Death Star battle, why they got rid of the synthesized voices and static distortions in the Mono mix I cannot understand, it was one of the things that made the Stereo mix sound so impressive and real.
Chewtobacca said:

It probably is, the script also support this but I can honestly not hear the difference, especially not in the Stereo mix. Maybe you can hear it with headphones. I actually think the lines in the published script are based on the mono mix IIRC.

Mixing Processes
Concurrent FloEFD allows any design engineer with CAD experience to virtually understand outflow streams.
Over-coming mixing challenges
The mixing of fluids or gases can pose more questions than answers for a Design Team. Fluids and gases combine through a complex series of physical processes that may include multiple species transport, conjugated heat transfer between fluids and surrounding solid materials, multiple inlets and/or outlets with various material concentrations, etc.
Empowering design engineers
It's fairly straightforward to specify the inflow streams, but the outflow(s) depend on what happens within the mixing vessel itself. By using concurrent CFD software FloEFD, any design engineer with CAD experience can perform these tasks 'virtually', allowing them to investigate and better understand the reason for a particular concentration distribution by simulating the internal flow in 3 dimensions.
Decrease time-to-market
Using FloEFD in the early stages of the design process will help reduce, even eliminate the need for multiple prototypes; it helps increase reliability, saves time, saves money and gets a product to market faster.

Congratulations to DameMonica.
I saw Monica Mason's first Odtte/Odile in Sutton Surrey in England and it was revelatory in the full-blooded physical approach akin although in a lower key to the legendary Plisetskaya. She never for me repeated that approach in her later career.
Off hand her remarkable performances were in Les Noces, with Deanne Bergsma in the Snow Scene in Nureyev's
"Nututcracker", Gypsy in The Two Pigeons, MacMillan's Rite of Spring, her intensity in Song of the Earth, Queen of the Wilis etc etc. Dame Monica tackled classical roles and her performances were always lit by the intensity of commitment to performing. She was at her best in an era in these roles when others were more suited.
An outstanding performer without whom the Royal Ballet would have been a lesser entity and like other dancers who did not become 'star' dancers her contribution is immeasurable.
I congratulate her steady hand in what has been a remarkable achievement in carrying the Royal Ballet forward from an extraordinary difficult situation she inherited.
Posted 17 June 2008 - 04:45 PM
I saw her in the late 60s and loved her performances -- I'[d say she was maybe like Vaganova or Nijinska, a superb classical dancer who was too strong-looking to be given the dainty roles. But there's no faulting her lines, her aplomb, clarity, elevation, plie, softness in fondu, speed; her batterie was like Nijinska's must have been, brilliant and fleeting and full of wit.
What I remember was how she talked with her feet. She was the girl in yellow in Dances at a Gathering, which means VERY fast; Myrtha was wondefully chiselled when still, but she could jump so high and alight so softly it softened the harsher edges of the character and made her beautiful. She was such a complex, wry, dazzling character as the hostess in Les Biches.
I loved her performances.
Congratulations to her.

I agree she wasn't a great Odette/Odile but her acting made her performances worthwhile. When I put together my composite Swan Lake, stitching together all the best bits I've seen, she and David Wall always do the moment in Act IV when the Prince comes back to the lake and kneels at her feet - her gesture of forgiveness was both tender and magnificent.

The Fall 2008 issue of Ballet Review has an interview with Monica Mason and I found some of her answers exceedingly curious. For instance, interviewer Kevin Ng asks her if she thinks the Royal's male dancers are the equal of its female dancers. Mason says yes but then only mentions Carlos Acosta. Ng also asks Mason about why there has been such a (relative) paucity of Ashton since the 2004-5 centenary and her answer is that they did a lot in 2004-5 so they're not doing a lot now. But . . . shouldn't they be? (This is one part of the interview which really cried out for a follow-up.)

Back in 2008, miliosr and others pointed out the lack of Ashton productions. For 2011-12, Flanders points out that there have been quite a few Ashton productions, but not the requisite style.

"Ballet companies are, by their nature, filled with adolescents and very young adults working at levels of unimaginable competition in a world in which they have been almost entirely closed off to outside influences since childhood"
is quite true and not often acknowledged. But her conclusions here
"I fear it is not deliberate that black dancers are not welcome; it is not deliberate that women creatives go unhired. If it were deliberate, it would be easier to eradicate. But what is happening appears more insidious. It is a matter of people hiring those with whom they are comfortable, finding people who look and sound more (to use Mason's word) "suitable"."
is the part I am the most impressed with, in part because it can describe our current state of public affairs in many situations including the dance world. In many ways, we have done the easy parts -- it is much simpler to get to the place where we acknowledge that there is a disparity and that disparity is bad, than it is to do the significant cultural changes to mend that difference.

Mason's point that it is a matter of talent not gender is surely pertinent.
Is there also a possibility that Classical Ballet may not necessarily appeal to black dancers who have other traditions.
Steven McRae did not replace Sergei Polunion in La Sylphide. He had always been due to partner Alina Cojocaru. Polunin had been due to partner Sarah Lamb. If you wish your comments to be taken seriously, do try to get your facts correct.

Minstrel 101
What's a Minstrel? Minstrels are known for their exceptional healing abilities, but are also capable of dealing respectable damage. Their core combat plays out via special Ballads, which is a system introduced with 2011's Rise of Isengard expansion. All playable Free People races may choose the Minstrel as their class. Combat Overview In LOTRO, each class has its own set of skills. When these skills are used in a sequence (e.g Skill A, then B, followed by C) it's called a skill rotation. The bread and butter of all Minstrel skill rotations are Ballads, Anthems, and Codas. However, Compositions also play an important role in Minstrel skills. That's a lot of information all at once, so let's break it down to something more bite-sized. Compositions It helps to think of Minstrel Compositions as combat stances; only one Composition can be active at any given moment. When a Composition skill is toggled "on," it has an effect on various Minstrel skills. There are three Composition types: Melody is the default Composition for Minstrels. When no other Composition is active, a Minstrel defaults to Melody. It specializes in healing, self-buffing and group support. War-speech is for Minstrels who desire to play more offensively. As expected, it excels greatly in damage dealing, damage buffing and self-preservation. This particular Composition is great for solo play. Harmony is considered the most difficult Composition to master, as it focuses on self and group buffs, resource management and group healing. Ballads There are three Minstrel Ballads: Minor, Major and Perfect. When a Minstrel uses a Ballad, it applies a set of minor buffs to themselves (when using War-speech) and sometimes others (when using Melody or Harmony). Only three buffs can be in effect at once, however it can be any combination of the three Ballad buffs. Additionally, when three Ballad buffs have been reached and a new one is played, the oldest of the three is replaced by the newest Ballad buff. Anthems Many of the strongest Minstrel buffs are applied through Anthems. Before using any Anthem, a Minstrel must use three Ballads. As an exception to this rule, Cry of the Chorus is a powerful Minstrel skill, able to instantly add three Ballads to a Minstrel's line-up, resulting in immediate Anthem and Coda availability. Use it wisely! Codas A Coda is the Minstrel's "Cash Out" ability, and will change depending on which Composition is activate. With no Composition, Minstrels can use the Coda of Vigour.
The Harmony Composition is coupled with Coda of Resonance War-speech transforms the skill into Coda of Fury. A Minstrel must have three active Ballad buffs to use a Coda, and the resulting use will reset all Ballads and Anthems. It all sounds complicated in text, but in practice using Ballads, modifying them with an Anthem and then exploding foes with a Coda is exquisitely simple. In fact, here's a handy visual guide to ease the learning process: War-speech Skills Out of all three Compositions, newbie Minstrels will spend most of their time with War-speech, primarily because of the usefulness of the following skills:
Echoes of Battle / Timeless Echoes of Battle A great opening skill, Echoes of Battle becomes even better once a Minstrel can enact their War-speech Composition. This is best used as an opening skill because Echoes of Battle (and its War-speech enhanced cousin, Timeless Echoes of Battle) reduces an enemy's resistance to many other Minstrel skills, such as Ballads and Piercing Cry, in addition to causing damage-over-time Piercing Cry When coupled with War-speech, Piercing Cry becomes an incredibly powerful damage skill for the Minstrel. While Piercing Cry has a cooldown timer, it should be used as frequently as possible, as the skill isn't of a "save for emergency" variety. Call of Orome This skill can only be used while using War-speech. Like Timeless Echoes of Battle, it's a great opening volley, but also works well when accidentally grabbing an extra enemy during a fight because of its Area-of-Effect nature. Be aware that Call of Orome can and will hit foes near the intended target. Trait Overview
If you're unfamiliar with Traits, see Traits & Deeds 101 for an overview of how to acquire and equip them.
Virtues When possible, use higher-level Virtues, but in an ideal world the following Virtues are great for most situations: Empathy – Extra Armour, Fate and Resistance Rating is good mojo for any Minstrel. Honesty – Additional Armour and Fate stacks well with Empathy, plus extra Power makes it easier to use skills more frequently. Idealism – More Fate and Resistance Rating here, but also extra Will, which raise the damage of many Minstrel skills. Loyalty – Extra Vitality, Power and Armour value make for increased survivability and less dead Minstrels. Innocence – Add to survivability with increased Physical Mitigation, Resistance Rating and Tactical Mitigation. Class Trait Lines Each class has three available "Trait Lines" that allow them to specialize in a particular style of play. These Class Traits aren't immediately available; they require certain Deeds or Quests to be fulfilled. In this segment, we'll give a basic breakdown of each Minstrel Class Trait line along with a table detailing the name, description, minimum level required and Deed/Quest requirement. The Warrior-skald Minstrels at lower levels will find The Warrior-skald line as their best choice for solo play, given its synergy with War-speech. However, depending on fellowship makeup, a Minstrel may also want to take advantage of this Trait Line's ability to utilize either burst or sustained DPS. Bonuses when equipping The Warrior-skald Traits are as follows: 2 Equipped: +1% Tactical Damage Bonus to Minor Ballad Buffs 3 Equipped: -[Level x 20] Target Resist Rating (Ballads) -30s Cooldown of Cry of the Valar -30s Cooldown of Cry of the Wizards 4 Equipped: +25% War-speech Ballad Damage +2% Tactical Damage Bonus to Minor Ballad Buffs +10% increase to Coda of Fury damage Anthem of War persists throughout combat in War-speech or until a Coda is used
Watcher of Resolve Minstrels who desire to become one of the most potent healers in LOTRO will want to invest in unlocking the Watcher of Resolve Trait line, which features a blend of powerful and efficient healing options. Bonuses when equipping Watcher of Resolve Traits are as follows: 2 Equipped: +5% Outgoing Healing Effect Modifier 3 Equipped: +10% Chord of Salvation Healing +1% Outgoing Healing Bonus to Major Ballad Buffs 4 Equipped: Anthem of Compassion now persists through Combat or until a Coda is used +10% Outgoing Healing Effect Modifier +2% Outgoing Healing Bonus to Major Ballad Buffs
The Protector of Song Something of an all-around Trait Set, The Protector of Song is for the Minstrel interested in providing some damage, buffs and group healing. Bonuses when equipping The Protector of Song Traits are as follows: 2 Equipped: -20s Call to Greatness Cooldown 3 Equipped: -5s to Anthem Cooldowns -1% Power Reduction Bonus to Perfect Ballad Buffs 4 Equipped: Anthem of the Third Age - Harmony now persists through combat or until a Coda is used -5s to Anthem Cooldowns +5s to Anthem Durations -2% Power Reduction Bonus from Perfect Ballad Buffs
Minstrel Equipment
For Minstrels, the three most important stats to keep in mind when considering new equipment are Vitality, Will and Fate.
Vitality increases your maximum Morale (Health), Out-of-Combat Morale Regeneration and Resistances to Wound, Disease and Poison effects. It also reduces incoming damage from non-weapon sources like Fire, Frost, Lightning, Acid and Shadow. Will increases your maximum Power pool (Energy), Out-of-Combat Power Regeneration and how much you resist Fear effects, including cowering from Dread, a nasty effect of dying in combat and/or encountering powerful enemies. It also contributes to increases in Outgoing Healing Rating and Tactical Offence Rating, making offensive and healing Skills more potent. Fate increases In-Combat Power Regeneration and In-Combat Morale Regeneration, allowing you to stay in battles longer. It also increases the chance and magnitude of Critical hits on Tactical skills (healing and damage spells). In Closing
Many a newbie Minstrel will find success in using War-speech, focusing on unlocking The Warrior-skald traits and prioritizing the above equipment. As you reach the higher levels (30s and beyond) there are many "In Case of Emergency" and utility skills to learn how to use as well, but no matter the level, Ballads, Anthems and Codas are the core of playing a Minstrel.

The Oneida Daily Dispatch (oneidadispatch.com), Serving Oneida, NY
Tuesday, January 8, 2013
By CAITLIN TRAYNOR
Dispatch Staff Writer
WAMSPVILLE – In a joint committee meeting Tuesday, county officials outlined their expectations to continue funding non-profit organizations.
After several well-attended public hearings in preparation of the 2013 budget, the Board of Supervisors weighed its options for maintaining funding to non-profits. It ultimately decided to keep funding at last year's rates, dedicating $1.34 million in this year's budget.
The debate isn't settled yet, though. Each non-profit group will receive a portion of the funding in the first quarter of the year; that money is guaranteed. The rest, although budgeted, has not been allocated and agencies will have to make their case in front of county committees to receive the rest of the money this year.
The consensus among supervisors Tuesday was that justifying the spending by saying "it's always been done this way" is no longer good enough.
"Just because it's always been done doesn't mean it can continue," Chairman John Becker said.
Each non-profit will need to provide its financial information to the county to review, including access to its budget, salaries, employee benefits and a breakdown of what it spends its money on. Supervisors established Tuesday that records from at least the last five years will need to be provided. Administrative Assistant Mark Scimone said he will draft a letter to send to non-profits this week notifying them of the new requirements.
Once county committees receive the information and have time to review it, each non-profit will make an individual presentation to the appropriate committee in February. Supervisors will, in turn, decide the fate of their funding.
Oneida Supervisor John Reinhardt said this process isn't meant as "punishment" to non-profits and the county's intention isn't to act as a "bank examiner," but instead determine how exactly county dollars are being spent.
Along with its current financial information, Brookfield Supervisor John Salka said non-profits should also be required to outline their plans to save money in the future. Becker said agencies need to show how they are "preparing to get themselves off the public dole."
Officials also have to take hard look at what residents gain as a result of the county's funding and weigh the cost to the county against the benefits the agencies provide, Fenner Supervisor Russ Cary said.
Cazenovia Supervisor Ralph Monforte was adamant that county officials need to research why these select non-profits were funded and determine whether or not the county is obligated to support them. While the roster of non-profits doesn't allow for easy comparison among them, they need to be weighed against each other, he said.
Libraries were the most talked about non-profit Tuesday. Budgeted to receive a total of $114,553 between allocations to individual libraries and the Mid-York Library System as a whole, Becker accused the county's nine libraries of "double-dipping" into the tax base. Because libraries receive moneys from villages or school districts or stand as their own taxing entities, Becker objected to them also receiving county dollars. Libraries across the county have justified that funding to compensate for serving residents in neighboring municipalities .
A non-profit's ability to tax shouldn't be a penalty in the context of county funding, Monforte said. Becker disagreed, saying it's "redundant taxation." Scimone also questioned what kind of fund balances libraries are "sitting on."
Cary suggested libraries be weaned off the county's funding and look into imposing fees for usage, saying taxpayers cannot handle their ever-increasing burden.
"They have to think outside the box like we've had to think outside the box," Becker said. Salka agreed, saying he hopes the county's plan will motivate those agencies to think creatively and use their money more efficiently.
Given the response to the public hearings on the budget, Smithfield Supervisor Rick Bargabos questioned if this process is even necessary, saying that the libraries in particular provided a "full tutorial" on their need for funding. Hamilton Supervisor Eve Ann Shwartz disagreed, saying — especially for libraries — non-profit budgets are complicated and supervisors are a long way from understanding all of the intricacies of their operations.
Pointing to the public's outcry over the proposal to funding cut, Lebanon Supervisor Jim Goldstein reminded supervisors that a significant number of people value the service these non-profits provide. The board will be tasked with deciding whether or not those services are a luxury or a necessity. In his opinion, non-profits, such as libraries, are necessities. He urged others to consider the potential consequences to county programs should non-profits no longer be able to provide essential services that have offset the county's costs.
Ultimately the board will have to answer the fundamental question of "what should we, as government, be providing?" Monforte said.
"Hard decisions are going to have to be made," Becker said. "County property tax payers are not an endless well of money."

A massively swarming, file sharing program that allows users to simultaneously upload parts that users have already downloaded. It allows for the fast transfer of files and the mass sharing of downloads. Web-sites use trackers and indexes to allow users access to others with files that they need. I downloaded Driv3r on bittorrent the day it came out, but I bought a copy because I'm legal like that.

A file-sharing program in which you upload what you have to other users while simultaneously downloading from them. The more people downloading that movie, the faster it goes. I downloaded The Hulk from Bittorrent a week before it was out in the theaters. Somehow, this is not illegal, and no one is at fault. Serves the theaters right for raising ticket prices to $8.

Gary Fung, creator of isoHunt website wrote, "Legally, BitTorrent requires simultaneous upload in order to download. So the concept of "file sharer" on BitTorrent is blurred. Technically, everyone is a sharer, it's a requirement in order to download. So its openness is an unintentional strength. No anonymizing system is completely crack-proof anyways, just like DRM, so poor privacy isn't much of a weakness. Strength in numbers, and security by obscurity."
Unlike what other people have said, because bittorrent involves the sharing between every bittorrent user, this system is more safe because there are no main uploaders who will be targeted. If the RIAA or MPAA would sue a person, it would have to be at complete random. Like Gary Fung said up there, we have ,"strength in numbers, and security by obscurity. i just downloaded the entire discography of Metallica in 20 minutes using bittorrent! there must have been over 400 people downloading it!

A peer to peer (P2P) file transferring client that is much safer then Limewire. Look down for why it is (second paragraph). more...
Many people fret over legal issues and the chances of them getting caught downloading (or uploading) copyrighted material, however, the chances are virtually nil. Because Bittorrent and all those P2P torrent clients are not connected to a centralized server, there is no way to actively monitor who connects and who doesn't, with the exception of your ISP (however, note that they can only target individuals at a time.). And malware? Yeah, you get that with some torrents inevitably, but a key thing to downloading a torrent is to ALWAYS check comments (if there are any) on that specific download. People will report whether the download is clean or not. If you read a comment saying the torrent has a trojan, that's usually a sign to back off, however, there are some exceptions (i.e. Anti-virus picks up something as malicious even though it isn't. It happens.). Now, on the topic of legal issues and uploading, let's say a massive torrenting site is taken down by the RIAA, like The Pirate Bay. They might think "A job well done", however, even though that site is taken down, not only are there hundreds more to suffice for it, but the same uploaders can take THEIR material and re-upload it on a different site! That's another point I have to bring up. Seeders (I'm assuming you know what this means, but think of it as an uploader if you don't. More on this la... |

Great filesharing source for popular files. It is wildely efficient if enought people download, and the more people who download a file, the faster download. Jhon: I need Windows XP, but i am poor.

The only download program that gives you the exact copy of the original application/movie/game you are downloading from.
Unlike Kazaa, what you click is what you get. BitTorrent and Suprnova are best friends. Download and burn a complete DVD with BitTorrent if you are a cheapskate.
7. | BitTorrent | ||
BitTorrent is a popular file sharing program. It is most commonly used for large file downloads, such as movies and operating systems.
BitTorrent is also one of the most dangerous file sharing programs out there. With any download, you will recieve a small text file with the words "tracked by (webpage, eg: demonoid.com)". That webpage keeps a list of users IP addresses so other users can connect to them. This list of IPs is easily easily accessible to orginazations like the MPAA or the RIAA. In fact, nearly everyone who downloaded the partial source code for Microsofts' Windows platform recieved a letter from Microsoft. Hey man, the MPAA busted my ass on BitTorrent!!!

Hiroshi Fuji's Central Kaeru Station Installation Is A Fantastic Example Of Collaborative Art
Hiroshi Fuji is fundamentally a collaborative artist who has spent the last 30 years 'transforming existences that are not valued by society into special existences' – his work always dealing with society, the community and environmental issues. What drew me to Fuji in particular was his inclusion of children in his actions as well as his wonderful toy exchange, called 'Kaekko' – a project offers a space for children to trade toys with each other and for creating new pieces based on the collected toys – that he's been runing for over 13 years and which has produced over 5,000 citizen led events in 1,000 locations all over Japan and around the World.
In his latest show called 'Central Kaeru Station – Where have all these toys come from?' Fuji brought over 50,000 toys – which he had collected over the years in the Kaekko project – and created an art installation and hosted a series of workshops for the community. It's an incredible untertaking and requires both passion, strength and conviction which Fuji seems to have in abundance. I hope his work inspires many coming after him who also believe that art has the abilty to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

By TYLER PAGER
In our society, the pressure to succeed academically has created a culture where good grades take precedence over good health. This environment causes students to attend school even when they are sick, for fear of falling behind in classes.
With the rise in diagnosed concussions among high school students, this culture has created new dangers for students.
Earlier this year, a girl I know sustained a minor concussion after she and a friend accidentally banged heads. While her symptoms persisted, she returned to school after only a day's absence, to avoid missing her classes.
However, she struggled to concentrate on her schoolwork because she kept losing her train of thought. During her play rehearsal, her head hurt from the bright lights and loud voices, and she felt sleepy. Looking back, she regrets returning to school before she fully recovered. Like many teenagers, she underestimated the impact of concussions.
As a high school senior, I empathize with those who feel the temptation to ignore pain and try to come to school anyway. On a daily basis, I, like many of my peers, am trying to find the balance between health and academics. However, there should be no second thoughts when it comes to concussions. Because of the risks of long-term damage, health must be the priority.
Recovery goes beyond just staying home from school. It requires the withdrawal from external stimuli—no computer, television or cellphone, the staples of a teenager's lifestyle. For most teens, it's hard to imagine going a day without these diversions, let alone weeks or months.
As a result, teenagers need to gain a better understanding of the severity of concussions. This will allow them to put things in perspective and realize that the essay due the next day or checking Facebook is not that important, especially when the alternative may be permanent brain damage.
This task cannot fall upon students alone. As teenagers, we are certainly not as proactive about our health as we should be. For us, our future is the next day or the next week, and we often struggle to look beyond our immediate needs.
So we need the encouragement and guidance of our parents and teachers. In any situation, their support gives us the confidence to make the right decision. While the stress of missing too much school will never fully disappear, if our role models support us in our recovery, our fears will ease.
While most schools have regulations concerning a student's return to athletics following a concussion, they need to expand these guidelines to include academic expectations during and after recovery. Without such a protocol, schools are contributing to the harmful culture of putting academics over health.
