The Bible can serve as quite the muse. Swords, fire, horsemen, demons, seven seals — the more you look, you find the Good Book can inspire good hell-raising fantasy, where the fate of mankind usually hangs in the balance.
So it's interesting that in Darksiders, Vigil Games' apocalyptic tale, humanity has been completely eliminated from the equation. The story reduces us to dust in the wind, smears on the feet of giant bloodthirsty demons or on the armor of the angels fighting them. In doing so, Vigil has cleared the way for an action quest of epic power and scale, the kind of experience that asks — or takes — a lot from anyone who plays it.

This Photo is a 226 MegaPixel Image monster.
It is actually a mosaic of about 22 photos stitched together, shot with the Canon 85 1.8 lens on a full frame 5d mk2.
Each photo was shot at F3.5 and then stitched together.
*Why in the name of Zeus would you do that?
Well, because its cool.
*Whats so cool about it?
A few things-
first off, a seemingly wide shot photo becomes super-detailed, since each "tile" has the full pixel power of the full frame camera.
Second, the optical effect makes it seem like it was shot with a wide lens with an aperture of about 0.7, a lens only Stanley Kubrick had.
*So The guy had to lay there until you were done? how long did it take?
Yes, he is known as a hero in certain parts of the world. it was cold, so he held a heating bottle. He was there for about twenty minutes, before he could move again.
The "Bubbles" were a Decorative 'Ball' I bought at a 'bed bath and beyond' type store. they have dots on them.
The Biggest Advantage of this kind of shot, is that when it is enlarged and hung on a wall, The detail really shows and it looks beautiful.
I really like the way it came out!
A big thanks to Dvir, Sivan Moran and Itai for helping to make this happen!

William Hunter FRS (23 May 1718 – 30 March 1783) was a Scottish anatomist and physician.
He was born at Long Calderwood near East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, the elder brother of John Hunter. After studying divinity at the University of Glasgow, he went into medicine in 1737, studying under William Cullen. He was a leading teacher of anatomy, and the outstanding obstetrition of his day. His guidance and training of his ultimately more famous brother was also of great importance.
In 1868 he built the famous anatomy theatre and museum in Great Windmill Street, Soho, where the best British anatomists and surgeons of the period, including his brother John, were trained. His greatest work was Anatomia uteri umani gravidi [The anatomy of the human gravid uterus exhibited in figures] (1774), with plates engraved by Rymsdyk (1730–90), and published by the Baskerville Press. He chose as a model for clear, precise but schematic illustration of anatomic dissections the drawings by Leonardo da Vinci conserved in the Royal Collection at Windsor: Kenneth Clark considered him responsible for the Eighteenth-century rediscovery of Leonardo's drawings in England.
To aid his teaching of dissection, in 1775 Hunter commissioned sculptor Agostino Carlini to make a cast of the flayed but muscular corpse of a recently executed criminal, a smuggler. He was professor of anatomy at the Royal Academy of Arts in London from 1769 until 1772. He was interested in arts, and had strong connections to the artistic world.
In 1770 he built himself a house in Glasgow fully equipped for the practice of his science, and this formed the nucleus of the University of Glasgow's Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery.
When the famous book collection of Anthony Askew, the Bibliotheca Askeviana, was auctioned off upon Askew's death in 1774, Hunter purchased many significant volumes in the face of stiff competition from the British Museum.
He died in 1783, aged 64, and was buried in London at St James's, Piccadilly.

This tech would allow cadaver organs to be stripped of their cells and the remaining matrix repopulated with functional stem cells grown from a patients own cells, making them a genetic match.
I've heard that other groups are working on 3D printing the matrix itself.
Lab-grown kidneys transplanted into rats
Engineered organs produce urine, though not as efficiently as natural ones.
Scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston have fitted rats with kidneys that were grown in a lab from stripped-down kidney scaffolds. When transplanted, these 'bioengineered' organs starting filtering the rodents' blood and making urine.
The team, led by organ-regeneration specialist Harald Ott, started with the kidneys of recently deceased rats and used detergent to strip away the cells, leaving behind the underlying scaffold of connective tissues such as the structural components of blood vessels. They then regenerated the organ by seeding this scaffold with two cell types: human umbilical-vein cells to line the blood vessels, and kidney cells from newborn rats to produce the other tissues that make up the organ. The work is described today in Nature Medicine. Ott and his colleagues developed this method in 2008, and he has since used it to grow hearts and lungs.
This study reports important milestones toward engineering replacement kidney grafts [and] shows the potential for this strategy," says urologist Anthony Atala, who directs the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
"If the work can be replicated, the scientists involved have clearly accomplished a tour de force and deserve accolades," adds William Fissell, a nephrologist at the University of California, San Francisco.
Currently, patients who develop the most severe forms of kidney disease can be kept alive with dialysis, but only a transplant will cure them. And in the United States alone, around 100,000 people are waiting for a donor kidney.
Other research groups have used tissue-engineering techniques to develop external kidney-assisting devices using human cells, and some have already passed early clinical trials3, 4. But Ott argues that his bioengineered kidneys, although much farther behind in development, have the benefit of being implantable just like a donor organ.
Organs on demand
If he and his team can scale up their technique to produce human kidneys, they could provide ready-made, genetically tailored organs that would be much less likely to be rejected by a patient's immune system. The scaffolds could come from existing donors — with no need for a genetic match — or perhaps even from animals, such as pigs. In some cases, bioengineers might be able to strip the patient's own diseased kidney and rebuild it.
"In an ideal world, if someone walks into the hospital and has a kidney grown on demand, there's no donor organ shortage and there are no immune problems," Ott says.
Ott's method preserves the kidney's three-dimensional architecture, blood-vessel structure and molecules that help to guide and organize growing cells. For example, the team saw that cells called podocytes largely ended up in the right place in their engineered organs — around blood-filtering structures called glomeruli.
However, the resulting organs are far from ready for the clinic. When transplanted into rats, they produced only around one-third as much urine as normal kidneys, and cleared creatinine — a waste product of muscles that is used to assess kidney health — 36 times more slowly than normal.
Ott blames this poor performance on the immaturity of the engineered organs, and the fact that they probably had not created the full gamut of cell types found in adult kidneys. But he notes that many patients with kidney disease start dialysis only when their kidney function falls below 15%. "If we can make a graft that works at 20%, that would already make patients independent of haemodialysis," he says.
The team is now testing the same technique using pig and human kidneys. They are also developing more sophisticated ways of steering the development of the seeded cells, and Ott is hoping that his latest publication will attract interest from other biologists. "We'll need collaborators, and a lot more brain power chiming in," he says.

Expressions of Gratitude
Expressing feelings of gratitude can have such a calming effect on me. As the temperatures hover below 0, I think they can give me a warm feeling as well. Far beyond the feeling we get as we express gratitude is the feeling we give to others when we express gratitude to them or for them. Like love, gratitude blossoms when it is shared. Expressing gratitude can cheer someone up, remind them that things are alright, help people to remember joy, and validate purpose.
Earlier this week a former classmate's daughter passed away. It brought up so many emotions for me, but what it really made me remember is that we must express our gratitude for it to be real. What costs us so little can make someone feel such love.
I have many instances in my past where I could have reached out to express gratitude that someone was in my life, that someone had been in my life, and I did not. I was busy with life-caught up in everyday things and monumental things. What I don't have in my life are times that I have expressed gratitude and wished I had not. I cannot promise you that every time you express gratitude towards someone that it will have a profound effect. I can promise it won't hurt.

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1–4 is a 2010 video game in the Lego video game franchise, developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Warner Bros.[2][3] The game is based on the Lego Harry Potter line and its storyline covers the first four films in the Harry Potter series: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The game is available on the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, Microsoft Windows, OS X and iOS. The OS X version of the game was released on February 22, 2011 by Feral Interactive.[1][2] A PlayStation 2 version of the game was planned, but later cancelled for unknown reasons and was scrapped along with Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues.
Lego Harry Potter 's gameplay is similar to that of most previous Lego games, with an emphasis on collecting, exploring, and solving puzzles. Casting spells is an integral part of the gameplay, with a wide range of spells available for unlocking as the player progresses. As there are many spells available in the game, the player can use the spell wheel to select the spell. Potion-making is another integral feature; potions can help the player complete levels or, if created incorrectly, have adverse side effects such as turning the player into a frog.[4]
Changes to the mechanics of previous games include 'Student in Peril' missions, which are a group of challenges to help a student, and Polyjuice Potion, which allows players to temporarily change one of the player's characters into any other mini-figure unlocked.[5] A major change is to the hub system. The Leaky Cauldron works as a central hub for purchasing unlockable extras and returning to previous levels, while Hogwarts acts as a constantly evolving massive hub with the unlockable characters found by picking up their hidden portraits.[6] [7]
The bigger areas in Hogwarts have led developer Traveller's Tales to improve the overall level design. Also included is another bonus level that allows players to customize the level similar to Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues. If the player is lost in-game, they can follow a trail of Ghost Studs to the next level. These do not count towards the stud total, but will guide the player to the next section of the level. However one of the collectible 'red bricks', found in the courtyard next to Herbology, gets the player an 'extra' that makes the ghost studs worth 1,000 each.[8] [9]
The central hub is Diagon Alley and its entrance through the Leaky Cauldron. Players can access a room at the second floor of the building to watch videos from the game, as well as using a notice board with pictures from where the player can play completed levels again.[10] Diagon Alley serves as a series of stores where the player is able to buy characters or change a number of customizable ones, spells, and bricks that have a varying range of uses, such as changing the player's wand to a carrot, or making the player invincible.[11] Players are also able to visit Gringotts or Borgin and Burkes in order to play extra levels. There are 167 characters purchasable in the game.[12]
The game covers a wide range of characters of the first four parts, from notable ones like Albus Dumbledore, and Severus Snape, to others like Viktor Krum in shark form or the Trolley Witch from the Hogwarts Express.[13]
The storyline is substantially unaltered from the movies, with slight changes to allow consistent two-player mode throughout the game.
Multiplayer mode[edit]
The game employs the two player split-screen technique introduced in Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues. There is also online support for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The plotline of the game differs from that of the books and films several times in order to have at least two characters in each level. For example, Hermione (accidentally) joins Harry during the first task of the Triwizard Tournament,[14] which was unlike both the book and the film, where Harry fights the dragon alone.
Changes for the Nintendo DS, PSP, and iOS versions[edit]
In the Nintendo DS, PSP, and iOS versions, several changes were made from the versions of the other formats. There is only one hub, the Room of Requirement, but the explorable Hogwarts and Diagon Alley hubs of the other versions were removed and both boss battles and spellcasting were simplified.[15] The DS version uses touchscreen controls to perform spells, and is a downscaled port of the PSP version.[16]
News of the game's existence was leaked in March 2009,[17] although rumours had been circulating since late 2008.[18] Warner Bros. officially confirmed the game in June 2009 with an estimated release of 2010.[19][20][21]
A teaser trailer was released on the day of the game's official announcement[22][23] followed by four individually released vignettes, beginning in December 2009. Each vignette focussed on one of the first four years featured in the game.[24][25][26][27] A new trailer was released to coincide with the game's launch.[28] All six trailers are available on the official website.[21][29] A demo of the game was made available to download from PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and PC in June 2010.
The game received generally positive reviews. Official Nintendo Magazine gave the Wii and DS version 80%. Saying that it was "one of the best Harry Potter games ever", but that it lacked originality compared to previous Lego games.[36] GameSpot gave the console versions an 8/10, complementing the large amount of secrets and charm.[34] IGN praised the game giving it an 8.5, complementing the new additions to the game, while the PSP version of the game received a 7.0.[35] IGN editor Nicole Tanner awarded it "Best Mindless Fun".[38]
A sequel, covering the stories of the final three books and four movies in the series, Lego Harry Potter: Years 5–7, was released in 2011 by Warner Bros.[39]

I pretty much played skyward sword on the wii and ... it was alright. (And this is coming from someone who LOVED twilight princess)
So what is likely going to get me to buy the Wii U? A new Zelda game... hopefully that looks a little more gritty.
But I have been wondering, why didn't Nintendo save Skyward sword for the Wii U release? Or at least release a Wii U version of that thing?
HD Zelda for my Wii U?!? It can't be that hard if I can already get it to run in 1080p on my PC...
If they wanted to move more consoles this is what they should have done. I would have purchased it most likely just for that. Now I am just going to wait it out..

SUNY Upstate epidemiologic study to examine prevalence of osteoporosis in women, girls with disabilities
Researchers at SUNY Upstate Medical University have launched a major clinical trial that may offer new insight into the onset of osteoporosis among women with disabilities. The study, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will examine the prevalence of osteoporosis among these women as well as highlight risk factors that cause osteoporosis in this population.
The study seeks women and girls ages 10 to 45 who have mobility impairments, such as those associated with multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, stroke, traumatic brain injury and other disabilities.
Researchers say this young population may have osteoporotic conditions secondary to their disabilities. Although osteoporosis is more commonly associated with menopause, the reasons for this osteoporosis are not likely related to hormonal changes.
"Usually, osteoporosis is identified as a condition associated with postmenopausal women," said the study's principal investigator, Margaret Turk, M.D., a SUNY Upstate professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation. "But we believe there is a significant population of young women, even girls, for whom osteoporosis will quickly become and may already be a major health issue. Our aim is to prevent further disability."
Turk expects to find study participants with osteopenia, which is typically a precursor to osteoporosis. "Bone density begins to increase in adolescence and appears to be related to nutrition, health and activity," she said. "Girls and women who have limitations in any of these three areas may not reach high levels of bone density or may lose their densities with decreased mobility. It is vitally important that the medical community understand how these factors are related to osteoporosis."
Participants will be asked a series of questions regarding their health history, diet and their level of physical activity. They will undergo a bone density scan using a dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The DEXA scan is the most common way to measure bone density in a nondisabled population. However the machine has certain limitations when used with the population of women and girls with mobility impairments. Issues of proper positioning and interpretation of readings are critical to ensure accurate readings.
Participants must be female and between the ages of 10 and 45 and have a mobility disability, such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, congenital impairment, stroke, disabling arthritis, traumatic brain injury or neuromuscular disorder. The study seeks participants across the entire upstate region. All health assessments are free.
The study is sponsored by SUNY Upstate's Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and its WEALTH Program (Women Empowered, Aware and Learning through Health Education) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For information on the study, call SUNY Upstate at 315-464-4782.

Ke$ha's "Die Young" Pulled From Radio Stations After School Shooting
"Die Young" has a new meaning this week — and it's hardly a pop-friendly one.
According to TMZ, Ke$ha's once ubiquitous new pop song reached 167 million listeners on Friday, December 14 — the day of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut — but the day after, it dropped by three million listeners, and by Monday it was down to 148 million. That's still a high number, but you can imagine a song about partying hard at the club — "let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young" — just isn't a great fit for a nation mourning children.
A music expert told TMZ "Die Young's" drop is so rare, the last time something fell this fast is when the Dixie Chicks got blackballed from country radio after their diss of President Bush.
The school shooting has also prompted some TV and movie schedule changes.

Apple Latkas Recipe. Gluten-Free
Posted on 16th of December, 2009 by Lévana
Image via vegetarianventures.com
I play endlessly with latkas, both sweet and savory, hence these delicious and fragrant apple latkas, and from around the world where they might not call them apple latkas, but fritters, beignets, bunuelos etc…. One big happy fritter family! There's no vegetable or fruit you can't make latkas out of, and when you go over my primer on frying safely and effectively, which I affectionately call Fear of Frying Therapy I trust you will feel empowered to do it more often.
Apple latkas is a French dessert treat we indulge in on Chanukkah and beyond. Strictly for apple lovers like me, and you I hope. Just go on my search box and you'll see how many goodies I make with apples, from soup to nuts. My next cookbook should be an apple cookbook!
The large opening of my food processor feeder affords sticking the whole cored apple (use an apple corer) into the opening, and makes preparing apple latkas a breeze: How cool is that?
Vegetable oil for frying
2 eggs
2 cups flour, any flour, or quick oats, a little more if needed
6 large apples, Mackintosh would be best, unpeeled, cored and grated coarse
1/2 cup sugar or sucanat
1/2 cup golden raisins, optional
3 tbsp rum or brandy
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Pinch nutmeg
Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet, to come up about 1/3 inch. Let it get really hot, and maintain the temperature at medium high.
Mix all ingredients gently without squeezing so as not to extract moisture. Add a little more flour or oats if necessary, to form a smooth dough. Form small patties and throw in hot oil, or drop by tablespoons. Fry until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Take out and drain on paper towels. Serve hot, alone or with plain yogurt, vanilla ice cream, applesauce (homemade would of course be best: My applesauce is delicious and a snap to make!) or maple syrup.

The patent record shows that Bill Gates' embattled Microsoft continues to break new ground and is planning a move into consumer electronics. The company has filed for a patent to a home automation system that carries audio, video and control signals around a house using the mains electricity wiring (WO 98/57462). This means you could access the TV and music in any room, and operate household devices remotely. A wide channel carries video at about 450 megahertz, audio at 4 megahertz and remote control signals at 500 kilohertz.

Helen Phillips and Graham Lawton's thought-provoking article raised the fascinating subject of the science and study of intoxication (13 November, p 32). Interestingly, my Foresight team is working on a project looking at the future management of psychoactive substances, by which I mean substances that affect the brain, such as leisure drugs, drugs to treat mental illness and cognitive enhancers.
The project is an evidence-based science review of the future of addiction and substance use in the light of social, economic and scientific changes. We are examining whether science and technology could help us to manage the future use of psychoactive substances to the best advantage of the individual, community and society over the next 20 years.
The project outcomes will be published during the summer of 2005. Its progress can be followed at

|MicrobiologyBytes: MicrobiologyBytes Video Library: Naegleria
Naegleria species (& their close relative Acanthamoeba) are pathogenic free-living amoebae, i.e. opportunistic rather than obligate pathogens, e.g. Naegleria fowleri. These organisms are ubiquitous in the environment, in soil, water and air. Infections in humans are rare but may be acquired through water entering the nasal passages (usually during swimming) and by inhalation.
Naegleria gruberi is an amoeba-flagellate, so called because the organism can exist as an amoeba and also as swimming flagellates. The amoeboid (trophozoite) stage is 10 to 15 µm in diameter and feeds by phagocytosis of bacteria and divides by binary fission. The flagellated stage does not feed or divide. You can watch Naegleria feeding in the following realtime video clip:
The differentiation of Naegleria provides a valuable system for examining a number of interesting problems in eukaryote cell and developmental biology. Some of the advantages of the system arise from the ease and speed with which cells can be grown and induced to differentiate. Another important advantage is that the differentiation of amoebae into flagellates is relatively synchronous. This means that following the population of amoebae as they differentiate into flagellates is similar to following the changes in a single cell:

Rated 5 out of 5Â by hannah13banana L. O. V. E. There is a reason that this skirt hasn't gotten a review under five stars. It. Is. FLAWLESS. Oh I don't even know where to start with this one. The material is flowy smooth and silky. It moves like water. the tie and wrap detail at the waist are very adjustable. Its very long, so I wear it like the model, at my waist, not hips. I've paired it with crop tops, turtle necks, v necks, tank tops, everything. I keep finding excuses to wear it places. Its extremely elegant and luxurious and the slit makes it incredibly sexy at the same time. this one is truly a winner. I have the fiesta red and i'll probably end up getting the 'beech' too. LOVE. thank you, FP!!! 1.16.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Starling Best skirt ever!! I've wanted a red maxi skirt since forever ago and I'm so glad that I've finally found the perfect one! The red is a bit deeper than it is in the picture. Great material and fits true to size. The slit isn't too noticeable. You won't be disappointed! 10.9.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by beemkq beautiful maxi skirt! i love this skirt the moment i saw it! from the fabric, to how it looked on. i especially love how it feels, only problem.. it wrinkles pretty easily. other than that.. great buy! 8.14.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FPTamiSofia amazing skirt!! This skirt is so beautiful in person! I also got the red color, and it's more of a true red. I'm definitely going back for the other color as well. I bought the 0 which is my true size (my waist is 26") The slit is only really noticeable when your walking or if you kinda poke your leg out, otherwise, it's a beautiful wrap skirt! I'm kinda surprised this skirt hasn't gotten more attention. The fabric and feel are awesome! 7.24.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Nuraluralura Lovely Skirt, Beautiful Material This skirt was a pleasant surprise. I mean, it looks great in the photos, but in person it is definitely more red than orange-red.

Many have considered Buddhism to be the religion closest in spirit to J. Krishnamurti's spiritual teaching—even though the great teacher was famous for urging students to seek truth outside organized religion. This record of a historic encounter between Krishnamurti and a group of Buddhist scholars provides a unique opportunity to see what the great teacher had to say himself about Buddhist teachings. The conversations, which took place in London in the late 1970s, focused on human consciousness and its potential for transformation. Participants include Walpola Rahula, the renowned Sri Lankan Buddhist monk and scholar, author of the classic introductory text What the Buddha Taught.
"Few modern thinkers have integrated psychology, philosophy, and religion so seamlessly as Krishnamurti."—Publishers Weekly "Krishnamurti is one of the greatest philosophers of the age."—the Dalai Lama

Unreal Tournament 2004 Version 3369December 3rd, 2005 by TimeDoctor
Ryan "Lil' Abner" Gordon released a Linux version of the latest Unreal Tournament patch; version 3369 has these changes for all platforms, and these changes for Linux:
Patch 3369 contains several important fixes, but Linux users might be most excited about the availability of render-to-texture support (detailed shadows, motion blur, headlights, the DM-Morpheus scoreboard, etc).
This also means we get license plates on the Hellbender, which is arguably the whole point of the game!
UT2k4 3369 [ 3D Downloads | treefort.icculus.org ]
Ryan updated his .plan with some more information some of which (is vitally important to the Hellbender license plate being displayed) should be added to the LGFAQ. Highlights:
For those that are experimenting with the new render-to-texture support, here're my updated notes from before:
Some things this fixes:
- The scoreboard in DM-Morpheus3.
- Motion blur in Red Orchestra and UnWheel, etc.
- Realistic player shadows.
- The Hellbender license plate.
- Vehicle headlights, mostly.
- Other things.
Some notes, first:
- On Linux and Win64, you MUST have Nvidia's latest drivers, or this WILL NOT WORK (although it will probably work like it does now, no render targets). ATI's drivers, or anyone else's, will probably work if they support the OpenGL extension GL_EXT_framebuffer_object (which I hear they do now).
- You MUST set "UseRenderTargets=True" in the "[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]" section of your UT2004.ini, or it WILL NOT WORK.
- To get realistic shadows, you also have to set "bPlayerShadows=True" and "bBlobShadow=False" in the "[UnrealGame.UnrealPawn]" section of your User.ini…the GUI config will not let you set this, because I screwed this up in my GUI patch. You can also enable vehicle shadows in User.ini (on by default?).
- The DM-Morpheus3 scoreboard renders strangely in Windows too; this is not an OpenGL renderer bug, it matches the behaviour of the Direct3D renderer.
- Red Orchestra's motion blur now works (and, unrelated, their splash screen got fixed, too), but the sniper scope is still broken; use the "texture" setting and not "model" for the sniper scope in the options. This is my bug, to be considered later.
- Please send bug reports to https://bugzilla.icculus.org/, not my inbox.

Emma Bardac
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009)
Emma Bardac (1862–1934), née Moyse, was the mutual love interest of both Gabriel Fauré and Claude Debussy. Of Jewish descent, Emma married, aged 17, Parisian banker Sigismond Bardac, by whom she had two children, Raoul, and Hélène (later Madame Gaston de Tinan (1892–1985)). Emma was an accomplished singer and brilliant conversationalist. Fauré wrote his Dolly Suite in the 1890s for Hélène and La bonne chanson for Emma herself.
After her affair with Fauré, Emma was introduced to Debussy in late 1903 by her son Raoul, one of his students.[1] Emma and Sigismond were divorced on 4 May 1905, and she eventually married Debussy in 1908. Bardac had a child by Debussy, a daughter, Claude-Emma, nicknamed 'Chou-Chou' (born 30 October 1905), and dedicatee of his Children's Corner Suite composed in 1909. Claude-Emma died of diphtheria in 1919, the year after her father's death. Emma Bardac died in 1934 and, like Claude-Emma, was laid to rest in Debussy's grave in the Cimetière de Passy in Paris.
In a documentary film called The Loves of Emma Bardac directed by Thomas Mowrey, the accomplished duo-pianists Katia and Marielle Labeque perform a selection of pieces by composers Bizet, Fauré and Debussy. Emma also is featured in Ken Russell's The Debussy Film released in 1965, starring Oliver Reed in the title role.

On October 11, the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) posted an articlewhere its Executive Director, Dawud Walid, says that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is engaging in "politics of fear" by talking about the "so-called Islamists." This statement isn't just meant to undermine a political campaign. It's about dismissing the notion that Islamists even exist at all.
The term Islamist (or Islamism) refers to an adherence to "political Islam," an ideology that deems Islam not only a religion, but the view that Sharia law should be implemented in all spheres of life including government, social, judicial, economic, military and cultural. Adherents envision world domination by the Muslim ummah (the worldwide community of Muslims).
Walid wrote, "And he [Romney] made a statement that so-called Islamists want to wage perpetual war with the West. So it appears that Mr. Romney is engaged in the politics of fear," Walid…

Dammit I've missed catty threads like this. I hope GSP knocks that tubby little monchichi out with his swollen manbreasts. Pigg Penn quit like a lil b!tch
I heart Jazzy B. White.
Greasy frog.
From a new interview on CP:
I've got to ask since you're one of the few former opponents of Georges St. Pierre who hasn't weighed in on the greasing issue, but did he feel like he was greased up when you fought him?
I don't really care too much to talk about Georges St. Pierre because I'm not fighting him any time soon, unless I win this fight and maybe one or two more. But with Georges, it is what it is. I think there's a lot of people in this sport that cheat. A lot of people take Human Growth Hormone. Some people take steroids. People will try and cheat any way they can. For a person to cheat and take away money from someone else that way I think is pathetic. Do it the right way. Get your ass in there and train right. Do it the way normal people do it. I think it's bad for the sport and I think it's selfish when people try to cheat in this sport.
Are you saying that you think GSP intentionally tried to cheat against B.J. Penn?
Well, I mean, you don't just rub grease on somebody and think it's okay to do that. I think it's bullshit.
A lot of former opponents of his, like Matt Hughes, have said he felt especially slippery to them. Did you feel any grease on him when you fought him?
Oh, no. I didn't feel anything when I fought him. That isn't the reason I lost that fight. The reason I lost the fight is because he was better than me that night.
Read the rest here
Lets go Brent!
"Do I think that he got greased? Yeah, I do," White told The Canadian Press prior to the UFC 95 weigh-in Friday at the Dominion Theatre. "Absolutely, 100 per cent, I think that that guy was rubbing grease on him."
"You put another fighter at a huge disadvantage, which is very dangerous," White said.
Asked if the GSP cornerman was cheating, White replied: "I think he was. I do. I think he absolutely, positively knew that he was rubbing grease on him. I do. Nobody can tell me different. I watched the tape a million times."
much respect for dana white for keeping it real
Lets go Brent!
if i wrestled my matches with vaseline on Id be un-defeated in any weight class, period.
GSP completely cheated BJ penn, he should be banned from MMA but the sport needs him so its a two-way lose

New I-35W bridge spans river, technological divide
A stream of data will flow from hundreds of sensors on a new bridge Thursday morning when commuters on Interstate 35W drive across the Mississippi River for the first time since the old span collapsed more than a year ago.
The purpose of the "smart bridge" technology isn't to warn of another impending disaster; it's to detect small problems before they become big ones, said Alan Phipps, design manager for the project with Figg Engineering Group Inc. of Tallahassee, Fla.
"What these sensors are for, it's like going to your doctor for your health checkup," Phipps said. "It's to ensure you're maintained in top shape so you never get close to having a serious problem."
The new bridge is due to open early Thursday when crews remove barricades that have stood since the old bridge collapsed Aug. 1, 2007, killing 13 people and injuring 145. State troopers will then lead a slow procession of motorists across the bridge in both directions to reopen a major artery that carried 140,000 trips a day.
The $234 million bridge was completed on budget and more than three months ahead of the Dec. 24 deadline. That means the contractors _ led by the team of Flatiron Construction Corp. of Longmont, Colo., and Manson Construction Co. of Seattle _ should get a bonus close to the contract maximum of $27 million, though the actual amount hasn't been determined.
There are also more visible differences between the new bridge and old. The new bridge is concrete instead of steel and is built with redundant systems so that if one part fails it won't collapse. The old bridge, finished in 1967, was called "fracture critical," which meant that a failure of any number of structural elements would bring down the entire bridge.
Within the concrete of the new bridge are embedded 323 sensors that will generate a record of how it handles the stresses and strains of traffic and Minnesota's harsh climate. The data will help engineers maintain the bridge and advance the art of bridge design, Phipps said.
The sensors will measure how the bridge handles loads and vibrations and how it expands and contracts as Minnesota alternates between frigid winters and steamy summers, as well as watch for corrosion from road salt.
A system of sensors and cameras will feed data on traffic flow _ including speeds, accidents, stalls and other disruptions _ to a management center. Other sensors will activate an anti-icing system when necessary, and security sensors are meant to detect intruders into unauthorized areas, such as the hollow concrete box girders.
The data will feed into computers in a control room near the bridge, Phipps said. From there, engineers at the Minnesota Department of Transportation and researchers at the University of Minnesota can download it for analysis.
Catherine French, a civil engineering professor at the University of Minnesota, has worked with the developers of the system and will be among the researchers analyzing the data. The number of sensors on the bridge, and the fact that they were installed from the start, make this project stand out, she said.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Katie O'Donnell recorded a goal and three assists to lead the second-ranked University of Maryland field hockey team to Saturday afternoon's 7-0 non-conference victory against the University of New Hampshire in the opening game of the Terrapin Invitational.
UNH, which entered the game with a four-game winning streak, is now 4-1. UMD is 4-0.
The Terrapins quickly took a 1-0 lead on a goal by Janessa Pope in the second minute of play. UNH goalkeeper Katherine Nagengast (Westborough, Mass.) stopped the next three shots she faced before O'Donnell scored on a penalty corner to extend the advantage to two goals at 17:40.
UNH was awarded its first penalty corner of the game with eight minutes remaining in the first half and almost capitalized on that opportunity, as the shot by Kyle Lyons (White River Junction, Vt.) beat UMD goalie Natalie Hunter but Jemma Buckley stopped the ball from entering the cage.
That pressure resulted in a second corner for the Wildcats. Hayley Rausch (Severna Park, Md.) once again pushed the ball into play and this time Kara Connolly (Mohegan Lake, N.Y.) fired a shot wide.
Maryland generated a sequence of consecutive penalty corners and, on the third attempt, produced a goal by Ali McEvoy to take a 3-0 lead at 32:46.
UMD took that three-goal lead, as well as the advantages in both shots (10-2) and penalty corners (7-2), into halftime.
Nagengast made her seventh save of the game in the 44th minute and then the 'Cats generated a dangerous scoring opportunity one minute later on a penalty corner. Rausch initiated the play and Lyons' initial shot from the top of the circle was stopped by Hunter, who also stopped Rausch's shot off the rebound.
The Terrapins took a 4-0 lead at 47:17 when Hayley Turner scored on a rebound off Pope's initial shot. UMD's Buckley scored on a penalty corner at 50:23 to extend the advantage to five goals and force UNH to call time out.
Maryland scored its sixth goal of the stick of Megan Frazer on a penalty corner at 52:25 and capped the scoring on Jill Witmer's goal at 67:44.
Nagengast finished the game with nine saves and her UMD counterpart was credited with three stops.
The game totals in both shots (20-6) and corners (12-5) favored the Terps.
New Hampshire returns to action Sept. 12 (12 p.m.) against 20th-ranked American University in the second day of action at the Terrapin Invitational.

The chanter has a thumb hole and three finger holes for the left hand, and four finger holes for the right hand; there are also two transverse holes near the open end of the chanter. The instrument also has three cylindrically bored drones in a common stock, typically tuned A, a, e, or A, a, a. The drone tuning A, E, a was used in half-long pipes in the early 20th century, and though still rare, sets are now beginning to be made with this drone tuning again. The bag is not filled with breath from the player's mouth, but instead is supplied with dry air, from a set of bellows strapped under the player's right arm. This stops moisture condensing on the reeds, with consequent tuning changes. Dry-blown cane reeds also last very much longer than ones exposed to moisture. Some instruments are made with plastic rather than cane reeds.
The compass of the chanter is nine notes, from G to a, though a few higher notes are obtainable on some chanters by 'pinching' and overblowing. As with the Highland pipes, the basic scale is a mixolydian scale on A. Some chanters can play semitones however, and some old tunes, for instance Bold Wilkinson or Wat ye what I got late yestreen, suggest a dorian scale may also sometimes have been used, requiring a c natural instead of the c sharp of the mixolydian scale. This could be achieved by cross-fingering or half-holing.
An important difference between the music of the Border pipes and of the Great Highland Bagpipe is that many melodic figures in older Border pipe music typically move stepwise or in thirds rather than by wide intervals, and lack the multiple repeated notes found in many Highland pipe tunes. This suggests that in contrast to the Highland pipes, Border pipe music neither needed, nor greatly used, the complex graces which are so characteristic of Highland pipe music. Modern attempts to reconstruct a musically valid playing style for Border music such as the Dixon tunes have been very successful, and several respected pipers play in such styles. These are characterised by simple gracings, used sparingly, mostly either for rhythmic emphasis or to separate repeated notes. The tunes from Skene's manuscript contain more complex written-out gracings, and many more repeated notes than the Dixon tunes, so it is reasonable to conclude that the playing style in the 18th century varied from place to place. Many Highland pipers nowadays use the Border instrument to play Highland music in a Highland style, treating it as an indoor version of their own instrument. As the modern instrument is still fairly newly revived, ideas on playing styles are still evolving.
The Lowland and Border Pipers' Society was formed in 1982 and has played a large part in the revival of the instrument and its music. In Northumberland, the Northumbrian Pipers' Society has played a similar role for both Border pipes and Northumbrian smallpipes. The instrument is now once again widely played, and the original Border repertoire for the instrument, particularly the Dixon tunes, is becoming better known.

His last web address has always been Facebook Zero or m.facebook.com. Even in the night, he occasionally wakes up to post some bu-things on his page before going back to sleep. Being a Facebook junkie needs no special integrity.
It is just one who checks his Facebook page using his phone about four or more times a day, visits his page to comment on other people's updates...
For a Ugandan addict, it is a matter of coming up with some cheesy statements that are not really meant to expose your credible side ( the saying goes that the more stupid an update is, the more it is fancied by people). You are free to post completely irrelevant and stupid updates because that's what Facebook citizens love; irrelevance.
Statements like "umm, now I am good" or " I smell chicken fries, do you?" get over seventy people commenting and you a Facebooker who at least still stands for integrity and all his friends will be left puzzled.
They will amuse you even more just by the way they understand some statements. Call me backward, but the queen's language needs some respect even when it has been posted on your page.
'Like', according to Oxford Learners dictionary, means something you find pleasant. When a Facebooker updates his status thus; "I am terribly sick" or "my dad died", it's obvious he/she is looking for a dose of sympathy, but then, a Ugandan addict will go to your status and click "LIKE".
Then you will have your page read: "so and so likes this" but for God's sake, what's there to like about death or sickness?
Then there are those ones dangerously in love with poking everyone they can. Do they even know what poke means? They poke charity organisations, church ministries, and links. In fact the last time I checked, someone was poking Mara and Clara on Bukedde TV; seriously?
In the beginning, Facebook was for trendy youths like me, but then everyone realized how easy it was to use the site. Homies in Owino and ewa-Kisekka joined the fray. Now Miles Rwamiti and Straka Mwezi's fans can also meet them on fesibuuku.
For Facebook addicts, friends mean numbers; they are just any other accessory you talk about and show off even when you have no plans of posting anything on their walls. Well, if you're a celebrity, friends are those things you will talk about on Bush Baby's Jump Off like; "I have 1,000 friends on Facebook" to make the other celebrity feel inferior.
Addicts comment on only close friend's statuses. All the other Facebook friends are meant to accumulate numbers and whatever they write no matter how sensible it may be, dude, it is rubbish. Ignore it because you must assume that he/she too has close friends to comment on that.
Also, majority of your posts are lies. Many, especially junkies, will do anything to get a good post. Someone watches the latest on Zone Reality; E!, or MTV and they will use those catchy lines as their own to trigger massive reactions.
Internet has never been an issue of addiction in Uganda since, much as it is cheap nowadays, still very few can afford personal connections, thus many of our junkies are mobile users.
This, however, doesn't exclude those chaps in their offices with a minimized Facebook page on their monitors.
But, the worrying victims are the middle-aged humans who found the World Wide Web so exciting just recently. A few years back they thought Facebook conversations were for show-offs, but today they talk like they can't live without it.
Love them, hate them, social Facebook addicts are fun to look at. By the way, I too am a Facebook junkie.

Today's leafy Google doodle celebrates what would have been the 366th birthday of Maria Sibylla Merian, a naturalist and scientific illustrator whose beautifully detailed drawings of butterfly metamorphosis were a key early contribution to entomology.
Merian was born in 1647 in Frankfurt in what is now Germany, the daughter of an engraver and the stepdaughter of a still-life painter. She was fascinated by caterpillars from childhood, collecting as many as she could find and documenting in pictures how they change into butterflies and moths. When she grew up she kept her own live specimens, illustrating each stage of their life cycle - egg, larva, pupa, adult - in her work.
For much of her life, she was perhaps best known for publishing books of botanical drawings. Although popular with a high-society readership, they were apparently largely ignored by the scientific establishment because they were not written in Latin.
Careful observation
But her careful observations led to new insights about insect reproduction and the relationship between caterpillars and the plants on which they feed and lay their eggs. Her simple observational approach might not sound remarkable by today's standards, but it was pioneering for the time.
As well as being a scientific innovator, Merian was an intrepid explorer. In 1699, she secured funding from the city of Amsterdam to mount a scientific expedition to Suriname – fifty years before it was explored by "Linnaeus's Apostle", Daniel Rolander. Surrounded by the spectacular natural bounty of the South American forest, she gathered and drew even more butterfly and moth specimens, as well as other insects and many plants.
Merian's illustrations, alongside those of living artist Rosemarie Trockel, can be seen at the Serpentine Gallery in London until the end of this week.
Correction: When this article was first published, we got the date of Maria Sibylla Merian's birth wrong. This has now been corrected.

To change the mode on your spa you would push the "temp" or "set" button and then the light button.

Thanks Mary.
The Balboa SpaPac came from you folks with no paperwork of any kind.
I would like a manual.
In speaking with my son just now after resetting the tub,(it went down to 63 degrees over the weekend in the freezing temperatures)it seems that my eight year old granddaughter was messing with the buttons when she was in the tub last week(which is when the problem started) Had I in my possession a viable reference guide, I would have solved a lot of problems and saved quite a bit of aggravation. You folks just lost your Gold Star.
Time to call Brian/CustServ at your office to get a manual.
My Thanks, Bill De Lorenzo in NJ
If you would like to email me directly I can email you back a copy of the operation card. I appoligize for any inconvience. I have asked Brian about the operation manual as well and why one was not included. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com
The sleep mode will keep the spa temperature within 20 degrees of your set temp but will only heat during the filter cycle if it goes 20 degrees below. There is also a freeze protection which the pump would have been activated automatically if the temp drops below 42 degrees.
Brian just confirmed that the operation card should have came with the pack.

A congratulatory message to Kim Jong Il was adopted at a seminar in Russia.
