A, definitely. I have a real problem when SCA rules get in the way of doing
good recreation. I understand the need for the armor bits that weren't used
at certain periods (my husband fights, and I certainly don't want him to have a
smashed knee or anything), but I don't think there's any reason to degenerate
to standard "SCA style" armor if there is any way to make it look more
- THe cold I understand, but let me add another perspective on the use of plastic for armor. Museums, when restoring swords, commonly replaced grips with plain wood, even though, actually precisely because, it was obvious that that was not the original material or construction technique. They wanted it to be very obvious what parts of a restoration were not original. In the SCA, this could be applicaple. When trying to combine SCA safety rules with an authentic recreation of fighting gear, why not use obviously non period materials or construction for the parts that are required by the SCA but have no place in the gear of your persona? This would be a true authenticist and teaching apreach. THe only reason not to do this is to avoid offending the esthetic principles of some of the people watching. Which should come first, authenticity or esthetics?

I'd go with:
C) Armor that is made from leather or metal or other things available in
that period, but then cover it with the garb to give the correct overall
look for that period. But given a choice between hidden plastics, and
hidden pieces (like knees and elbows) made of materials they _could_ have
used if they wanted to protect their knees and elbows, I'd go with the
period materials! Remember, well hidden is well hidden when the kit is
new, but during use things can get damaged, and the plastics might show
thorough a hole. (I've also got the Oerthan bias against plastics, which
have a nasty habit of shattering when struck in extreme cold temperatures!)

those spots is not represented anywhere in the
archaeological evidence, in my mind not making it
really any better that plastics. Also, yes plastics
can shatter in the cold but not all plastics are
subject to that flaw.

- My answer to this question is to look at it this way. How would your
persona have solved the problem of SCA legality in relation to armour with
thier materials. This avoids the "If they'd have had it, they'd have used
it" arguement since they DID have it, they just didn't need to do it this
As for plastic being used exposed, that is a major criticism of the SCA by
many other historical groups. If you can tell it's plastic, then it should
be kept hidden. There are some plastic lamellar plates out there that look
a lot like different types of metal (I personally like the bronze colored
If it can be seen at all, I'd rather it not be plastic. I think that
plastic is a horrid material for use in armour, and that metal and leather
are both superior to it in just about every way. Even if it is hidden, I
think fighters owe it to themselves to use the best material for required
bits of armour. Metal and leather hold up much better than plastic, and not
just in the frigid north.
As for things like body armour, you can use period materials for most any
In short, I hate plastic and wish it would be banned from the field.
However, as long as its not obvious that you have it, I tolerate it.
Not that anyone really cares what lil ole me thinks :)

DAVOS – As Arab regimes struggle with demonstrations fueled by Twitter and Al Jazeera, and American diplomats try to understand the impact of WikiLeaks, it is clear that this global information age will require a more sophisticated understanding of how power works in world politics.
That is the argument of my new book, The Future of Power. Two types of power shifts are occurring in this century – power transition and power diffusion. The transition of power from one dominant state to another is a familiar historical pattern, but power diffusion is a more novel process. The problem for all states today is that more is happening outside the control of even the most powerful of them.
As for power transition, much attention nowadays is lavished on a supposed American decline, often with facile historical analogies to Britain and Rome. But Rome remained dominant for more than three centuries after the apogee of its power, and, even then, it did not succumb to the rise of another state, but suffered a death by a thousand cuts inflicted by various barbarian tribes.
Indeed, for all the fashionable predictions that China, India, or Brazil will surpass the United States in the coming decades, the greatest threats may come from modern barbarians and non-state actors. In an information-based world of cyber-insecurity, power diffusion may be a greater threat than power transition.

A takeover battle has begun for Cove Energy after the firm received a bid approach Friday to rival that made by Royal Dutch Shell on Wednesday this week.
In a statement to the London Stock Exchange on Friday afternoon UK time, PTTEP said that it would offer $1.77 billion (GBP 1.12 billion) for Cove – a premium of some $200 million on Shell's offer of $1.57 billion.
Shell said on Wednesday that its decision to buy Cove fits with its strategy to drive forward with its investment program and that it sees East Africa as a "major prospective hydrocarbon province". The Anglo-Dutch oil major already has interests in Tanzania. The acquisition of Cove would mark Shell's entry into exciting new hydrocarbon provinces in Kenya and Mozambique with significant potential for new LNG (liquefied natural gas) from recent gas discoveries offshore Mozambique, said the firm.
In Mozambique, the Rovuma offshore basin – where Cove is active with its partner Anadarko – is a frontier exploration area that holds large resources of natural gas that Shell believes are suitable for LNG projects. According to Cove, this play represents the potential for more than 30 trillion cubic feet of gas and six LNG trains, while Shell said it understands that bringing these resources on stream is a strategic priority for the government of Mozambique.
Friday's offer from PTTEP has thrown a spotlight on East Africa as oil majors and national oil companies line up to capitalize on the region's gas resources.
PTTEP said that it is "dedicated to using its extensive experience in building a natural gas-based economy for the benefit of Mozambique and its people and would like to highlight its full support for the construction of a world scale LNG facility making use of the 30-plus tcf of natural gas resources in Area I of the Rovuma basin and to support Mozambique in creating a leading natural gas based economy".
On Wednesday, London-based investment bank Westhouse Securities predicted that while Shell's move would likely preclude other majors from making a bid for Cove, it did not rule out a counter offer from one of a handful of state-linked oil companies.

i'm feeling a little more optimistic today regarding bike racing. for the past 4 months or so i had pretty much written off 2014 regarding bike racing. i mean, i barely have had the bandwidth for work and family so i thought it might be best if i just take racing/fitness out of the equation for the year. but, funny things are starting to happen. my circadian rhythms are adjusting to waking up at odd hours. i'm finding time here and there to get workouts in. and when i do, i don't feel terribly out of shape (out of shape for sure, but not bad for february). and, my wife and i are a great team. last week i had taken tuesday off of work and skied in the morning and snowshoed during the afternoon. over this past weekend i got a really good run in (for me) on saturday and 1:40 of bike time on sunday. i even ran after work last night! so, it still is a stretch but i am starting to scratch out a general plan for the year - in draft form, it looks a little something like this:
spring phase (crits just to get solid efforts in):
06-Apr: WCA great dane 1
13-Apr: WCA great dane 2
27-Apr: WCA fitchburg
18-May: WCA wheels on willy
summer phase (building strength, mtb = single speed):
01-Jun: WORS Camrock
15-Jun: WORS Wausau
29-Jun: WORS Eau Claire
July = 'big miles' and race specific workouts
26-Jul: WCA Fitchburg
09-Aug: SS state champs @ Beechwood
fall phase:
Fat Tire!
winter phase:
get some sleep.
anyway, it looks like a lot of racing - but a lot of it is either local or can be built into trips to visit family. for WORS, i'd like to race the Comp Single Speed class. Masters for road and CX. there is enough local racing where i can 'race' into shape without making a huge time/effort getting to races. we shall see...i've got some things in the works that may or may not conspire against this tentative plan. but, you have to start somewhere.
happy friday.

Bêlit is the self-styled queen of the Black Coast and captain of the pirate ship Tigress. She is a Shemite woman who with her pirate crew ravaged the coast of Kush and the western coast of the Black Kingdoms.
Bêlit met Conan when she and her pirates attacked the ship he had taken refuge on, the Argus, outside the coast of Kush. Her priates slaughtered the crew of the Argus, but as Conan, managing to get on board the Tigress was dealing death to numbers of her own crew, she stopped her pirates from attacking Conan. Conan was unlike both the civilized men of Hyboria and the barbarians of the south, Bêlit immediately fell in love with him. Conan joined Bêlit as a pirate, plundering villages and ships along the coast.
They reached the river of Zarkheba, where Bêlit previously had hunted a Stygian galley which fled up the river. She had waited for the ship to return at the river mouth, and a few days later the ship had floated out, but only one member of the crew was still alive and he had gone mad. Together, Conan and Bêlit sailed up the river to discover what lay there, having heard rumours of a great city.
They reached an ancient, deserted city which they started plundering, but soon realized that the city wasn't completely deserted. A pre-historic winged ape-like creature had destroyed their water supplies. The water in the Zarkheba being too unclean to drink, Conan and twenty of the crew went into the jungle to look for drinkable water. Here, Conan fell under the spell of the Black Lotus and fell into a dream-like state. While Conan was dreaming, the men that acompanied him into the jungle was attacked and when he woke up he found that all of them except one, their chief N'Gora, had been run of a cliff. N'Gora had gone mad, and attempted to kill Conan, without luck, ending up dead himself.
When Conan returned to the Tigress he found the rest of the crew slaughtered and Bêlit hung from the ship itself. The winged creature tried to kill Conan, but Bêlit, fulfilling her prophecy, came to his rescue even in death and protected him when he was stuck, unable to protect himself.

IIRC you guys accept patches 'submitted' to Apache without a CLA; using the AL2 'Contribution' language - which makes sense to me.

Seasons of the Soul
The Spiritual Practice of Being Uncomfortable
Love wants to reach out and manhandle us,
Break all our teacup talk of God.
If you had the courage and
Could give the Beloved His choice, some nights,
He would just drag you around the room
By your hair,
Ripping from your grip all those toys in the world
That bring you no joy.
Love sometimes gets tired of speaking sweetly
And wants to rip to shreds
All your erroneous notions of truth . . .
The Beloved sometimes wants
To do us a great favor:
Hold us upside down
And shake all the nonsense out. ~ Hafiz
Part of my daily contemplative practice these last few months has been yin yoga. In yin yoga, the poses are held for long periods of time (anywhere from 3-20 minutes). The physical effect is a stretching of the connective tissue of the joints. The spiritual invitation is to go to the edge of my discomfort and rest there, staying present to my experience over time, to soften into the edges, and continue to breathe. Each morning I willingly go into uncomfortable places to practice being at these edges of life.
Over Lent I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the wisdom of the desert mothers and fathers and was really struck by the parallels with their spiritual journey and the path of yin yoga. These wise elders went out into the desert, the place of barrenness where life is stripped bare, and they sat with their discomfort paying attention to their inner experience. In this wild space they confronted their inner voices, the temptations, the distractions, the tyranny of thoughts that would arise. They kept showing up until they could begin to cultivate a sense of equanimity. They were seeking hesychia, which is the Greek word for stillness. It means more than silence or peacefulness; there is a sense in which the stillness is the deep, shimmering presence of the holy.
We each have a threshold of tolerance for uncomfortable or painful experiences. When we stay within this range we can be present to what life brings us in the moment. When we drop below our threshold we become numb to what is happening and seek out things that help us avoid the pain, like drugs or overwork. When we move above the threshold our anxiety kicks into overdrive and we feel panicked, unsettled, or ill at ease.
The only way to widen our threshold of tolerance is to dance at its edges, to consciously go to uncomfortable places and stay present. When we risk the unfamiliar, our resilience grows and we become more capable of living life fully.
In one of the sayings of the desert fathers and mothers a monk comes to visit Abba Moses and asks him for a word. The reply he received was: "Go sit in your cell, and your cell will teach you everything." The monastic cell is a central concept in the spirituality of the desert elders. The outer cell is really a metaphor for the inner cell, a symbol of the deep soul work we are called to, to become fully awake. It is the place where we come into full presence with ourselves and all of our inner voices, emotions, and challenges and are called to not abandon ourselves in the process through anxiety, distraction, or numbing. It is also the place where we encounter God deep in our own hearts.
Connected to the concept of the cell is the cultivation of patience. The Greek word is hupomone, which essentially means to stay with whatever is happening. This is similar to the central Benedictine concept of stability, which on one level calls monks to a lifetime commitment with a particular community. On a deeper level the call is to not run away when things become challenging. Stability demands that we stay with difficult experiences and stay present to the discomfort they create in us.

He come alone with a taxi 8.00 in morning. He stell the phones and laptop. He was latvian, lithuanian, or russian. Young guy. Have black jacket black shoes, he pretend that he dont speak english, and book for two hours. Be careful dont take not swedish guys!!!
This is the reason I do not see any foreigners and have this aggressive text written on my profile. And even so they do not give a shit and still calling and trying to make appointment even lying they are Swedish/Scandinavian while I am not stupid and can catch the accent. Then they sent me many abuse and threatening to kill me or call the police on me and calling me racist bitch and all sort. Well I do not give a shit they can scream threats and abuse what they like as I wont see any of them anyway as I am sick of this shit with those people. I prefer to starve and make no money then see these kind of people.
Yes, sorry
Please can you let us know him phone number
And if is happen something bad Yes the girls can go to the police and they can help you
I didn t understand why they make this because the escorts don t stay with money in house ! They are just crazy ...
whether they are worth the money that risk - because there already customers even do not have money for prostitutes! prostitution was is and will be, the state strives to make it eliminated, but if not it will be prostitutes rape and other deviations and perversions. Sweden strives for something that is not natural, and sex is natural, and morality is a matter of each individual
If you compare to the rest of europe Sweden have reduced numbers of policeman to be under the medium line. This make consequnses. They have to make priorities. Now days only work with cases which getting hard penalties. Yesterday I was watching TV and listen to a policeman who told the reporter that they even got resourses to hunting and take care of incoming cases child pornografi, I was so fucking angry listen this police. And with this statement I dont understand how they should have time for helping you. I think most reports from you will quickly be lost in police archieve. Maybe not if you getting robbed because robbery is a little bit higher penalty value. And yes Sweden now days have big problem caused of immigrated people. Sweden have take a big volume of the total of EU and this cause us a lot of problem because the integration politic its not worth its name. There is big problems in especially Malmö but also in Stockholm. Not yet same much in Göteborg but I know we have some idiots here too but its better. You are always welcome to Gbg and meet us nice swedish guys. If u have opportunity I think for your own protection its better you meet your customer in the main door to check him before you let him inside apartment. Its not same discreet but if you have opportunity yes. Swedish people are trained from born about giving respect, be gentle, good values, how to treat ladies etc. Please dont blame the swedish gentlemens, they are many. Take care out there ladies. Most of u are soooo nice and kind. And in Göteborg is right now a very small part of escorts and competion between you ladies of clients not same high as usual.
if there are not enough police officers for minor offenses it means that the country is not very organized and very safe. not only in terms of prostitution, but also in situations where immigrants will go out on the streets and raping women. I mentioned that in other countries there are a lot of prostitutes (Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, etc.) and they are safe. they receive a great help in an emergency. I did not mention anything about 100% Swedes only about the people who come there, and the police can not handle it. prostitute in Scandinavia is not too many rights and not get a lot of help.
people who come to rob prostitutes with old phones and laptops and 3000sek (because no woman has greater cash with you). this is ridiculous ! poor thieves who have exuberant imagination
Yes u have understand it correct Mia. Our goverment dont do what they have to do and police are not good organized. As late as yesterday police boss in Malmö got fired. And yes its poor thieves.People who do this to you are almost poor people and most of them arabians or middle east. For them 3000 kr is good money because they have nothing.
in Japan, you can leave your wallet on the table and no one will take. Ethnic culture created by people, if Sweden had committed up to 30-40% of the population immigration - the state must be able to integrate with their own culture and their own laws - and here there was a problem - the state does not do too much! it is called - the integration of the country's internal
if you do not help herself and did not apply adequate protection (securyty) - no one in this country you will not help! I know this from a very large experience
the only solution in this situation, the girl is your solidarity - you have to support and help each other with information and other things - but unfortunately other assistance can not be there to count!
Good luck my Dear !
Stockholm 4 years ago was safty, right now is a big shit , where is Police i ask and where is a right low ? Many imigrants and .. where is care of peopel ? What happens in Sweden, does not happen in countries where prostitution is legal ! What happend in Sweden !?

Suzuki S-Cross Concept Leaked: 2012 Paris Motor Show Preview
Suzuki's all new crossover concept, the S-Cross, has just hit the web before its debut on Thursday at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.
The new crossover is set to replace the now dated Suzuki SX4, and should bring Suzuki back into the competition when it comes to small crossovers. The company says the concept embodies an "Emotion x Quality x Aerodynamics" design theme that can be seen in the sweeping lines that start with the car's nose and continue to the rear.
Powertrain and technical details have yet to be divulged, but all will soon be revealed by the manufacturer at the official event. For now, we see in the photos new LED running lights, large chrome wheels, and some sports car inspired dual-exhausts.
Check back to AutoGuide for the full reveal of the Suzuki S-Cross at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Apple has separate iTunes stores for many countries. When you purchase a song from the Japan iTunes store, one must agree to its Terms of Service, which specifically states that all sales are for Japan only. Some argue that this is merely a policy, stating that buying/downloading iTunes music from Japan while being outside of it breaks no laws with no threat of legal action since the artist/songwriter of the song, the artist's record company, and the Japan iTunes store all get paid. Isn't this a breach of a legally binding contract? Shouldn't this be considered copyright infringement and/or smuggling? I need help explaining why this is illegal and I realize that there are many things going on with these questions, including international law. I thank you in advance for your replies.
There remains quite a bit of controversy over the enforceablity of "Terms of Service", but many courts will enforce them, and it is not a good idea for a consumer to ignore them. Further, your assumption that the songwriter, artist, and record company "all get paid" may not be correct. Even if they get paid under Japanese legal arrangements, they may get less than they would have received had the song been purchased/downloaded from a U.S. site. I have found over the years that Japanese record labels often take a bigger "cut" than U.S. labels and, therefore, it is quite likely that a person causes economic damage to songwriters and artists by downloading the music from Japan. Indeed, downloading songs from a Japanese site might constitute copyright infringement if such downloading violates terms of sue. In addition, downloading from a Japanese site may deprive state goverments in the United States of sales taxes to which they would otherwise be entitled. Further, it is conceivable that this conduct could interfere with tax laws, regulations and foreign policies of the United States government, including, for example,laws governing when income should be recognized as having been generated from transactions that occurred in the United States. In short, there are many reasons why failure to comply with these Terms of Service should be considered a serious matter.
I must say, however, that to date I have not heard of many instances in which persons who violated terms of use by downloading a small number of songs from a foreign web site have been prosecuted. But I suspect the day will come when such prosecutions are common.Ask a similar question
For me, the question is not so much whether the purchase and downloading of music contrary to the "terms of use" or "terms of service" of a vendor is improper. It is, in my opinion. Rather, the question is what country's laws apply and what the remedy should be. The first is called a "conflict of laws" question. The second is a substantive question that can only be determined once you have determined which law applies.
The first place you should look for an answer to the conflict of laws questions is the contract you enter into with Apple. In other words, the "terms of service" you are talking about may just specify what country's law applies.
If United States law applies to the violation, there is a further wrinkle: is the remedy for violation you are speaking of a contractual remedy or a remedy that sounds in tort. In laymen's terms, that means, will you be liable for having breached your agreement or for having infringed someone's copyright. If the proper remedy is a contractual one, the damages are likely to be fairly modest or limited. If the violation is viewed as a copyright infringement, the damages can be quite substantial. Indeed, if the music copyrights have been registered with the US Copyright Office, the copyright holder would be entitled to statutory damages, ranging from $750 to $30,000 per infringement- higher, if the infringement was "willful."
The courts are divided on how such a violation should be characterized- i.e., simply as a breach of contract or as an infringement of copyright. It generally depends upon whether the aspect of the license that has been violated is viewed as a central "condition" of the contract.
My guess would be that, in most cases, the vendor's terms of use will afford it the right to terminate the license if the licensee is determined to have violated its terms. If it doesn't terminate the license, in my opinion, a licensee would have a legitimate argument to say that the violation is at most a breach of contract. If it does terminate the contract, on the other hand, any acts of circumvention and/or downloading after the termination would likely be viewed as infringement. Indeed, even the acts that provoked the termination might be found to constitute infringement.
Obviously, without knowing precisely what the "terms of service" say, what the acts were that violated those terms, and where they were committed, it is impossible to be more precise. I hope this answer has given you some insight into how an attorney would analyze the question.

Dyson is one of the few companies that I can unequivocally say makes truly great products on a consistent basis. It wasn't long ago that I gave the company's new humidifier high marks, further engraving that thought into my brain. And for the last few weeks I've been testing Dyson's new V6 Motorhead cordless vacuum and I'm incredibly happy with it — more than impressed, in fact — with one minor exception.
How well does it clean?
I'll get right down to business here: the V6 Motorhead clean really well. Okay, will can you be more specific Mr. Reviewer Dude? Yes, I can.
My "normal" non-Dyson vacuum, which was an Electrolux I purchased at Target, (the one I had been using for at least a couple of years) seemed to do a decent job of picking up dirt, trash, pet hair and miscellaneous junk around the house. Until I got a robot vacuum from Neato which blew that "normal" vacuum out of the water. I was amazed at all the stuff it picked up — easily triple the amount of gunk. Well, that amazing robot couldn't reach several places in the house: the stairs, blinds, plants, beds, counters… you get the point.
But the V6 Motorhead cleans just as good (if not better) than that Neato vacuum AND it can reach literally anywhere (except perhaps some ceilings). The amount of dirt the Electrolux picks up versus the Dyson is a joke. Despite it's small, easy-to-use size, the Dyson is a powerful little beast.
It's so good that I'd rather have the V6 Motorhead than a top of the line Electrolux. Man am I itching to get my hands on a Dyson robot vacuum…
Bottom line: the V6 Motorhead pulls more junk out of your carpet than you'd expect and leaves no visual trace of dirt or mess. As a vacuum, that would be the minimum qualifier for a good recommendation, but there are a few other reasons why this vacuum a winner.
First it's light. Really light. It's a breeze to push around, even though it's not powered (and if it was powered, it would just be that much heavier). Versus that Electrolux I keep mentioning, this vacuum feels about 4 to 5 times lighter. It's so light that it could almost be a bit heaver (haha — not really, it's just about perfect — but you really wouldn't want ...
