Sorry Chockaty - I didn't see your reply when I posted!

About the free enchainement - you will be told only the name of the steps in the enchainement - you will not be shown them - so you have to know exactly what each step is called. We did quizzes on them before the exam and it was hard for my students to remember all the variations of pas de bourees, glissades etc that they needed to know, but at least the choice is limited now.

Thanks for the details.Every candidate will receive the same free enchainment. The examiner will say it to you, ,let you mark it without music, then you listen to the music, mark it with the music and then perform it four times though in pairs, or a pair and a solo if there are three in the exam. The examiner will choose who she sees together.
I'm now doing all of my classes (the non-RAD ones) in soft blocks or pointe shoes just to get used to them. It's actually getting really okay. I will reserve myself the option to use soft shoes for the exam if nearer that time I feel I'll do better in them.I never put my IF's into soft blocks - they are so hard to work in and wearing them when it's not necessary simply gives a disadvantage for no reason! Soft slippers with ribbons are what you need and I would not pay attention to what the other girls are wearing.

It is indeed a lot of work for the teachers!

So that's good news.
I was just wondering just how new shoes need to be for the examination. I started wearing a new pair of soft blocks 6 weeks ago and they already look very worn and the satin is ripped under the toes.
New shoes are quite uncomfortable for about two weeks, but at the same time they wear out so quickly with all those tendus, dégagés and ronds de jambes in every class. After two weeks, they don't look 'new' anymore.

text: The US has 2 major structural problems: 1-it doesn't produce anything anymore, we have off-shored most of our manufacturing, and now the Indians and Chinese are making major inroads into replacing even higher level job functions, like legal work 2-the public unions, including teachers and other state/municipal workers, have increased their pension, entitlements, salaries, etc., to completely unsustainable levels where taxes must persistently increase year after year - even in times of economic shrinkage. This means government cannot ever reduce its size, and must perpetually raise taxes, even if the services provided continue to worsen (i.e., schools). A perfect example of what the US is going to look like in a microcosm can be seen in the city of Detroit, where its manufacturing base has vanished, and the public unions refuse to acknowledge reality, that their jobs exist to provide services, not that the city government exists to provide them with make-work jobs. The WSJ had a superb editorial on this situation today: Shikha Dalmia: Dave Bing's Last-Second Shot - WSJ.com Dave Bing's Last-Second Shot Can the former Piston star save Detroit? By SHIKHA DALMIA On Tuesday, voters in Detroit trudged to the polls and re-elected 65-year-old Mayor Dave Bing, giving him five new city council members to accomplish a mission impossible: bring Michigan's biggest city back from near death. There's no clear prescription that will work, and Detroit's recalcitrant public-employee unions will resist the fiscal therapy that will necessarily be a part of any recovery. Last year, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick headed off to prison for using city funds to cover up an affair with a staffer. After a few months of an interim mayor, Mr. Bing stepped in to finish Kilpatrick's remaining time in office neither out of political ambition (he's announced he won't seek two terms) nor to get rich (he is donating his salary to the police department). The former Detroit Piston basketball legend who later made a fortune as an auto supplier genuinely wants to use his business acumen to save the city. But Detroit is much closer to the brink than many people acknowledge. Detroit has been in trouble for decades. It has the highest taxes in Michigan, the highest murder rate in the country, and a dreadful public school system. Only 25% of high school students graduate each year. Its tens of thousands of abandoned homes offer safe haven to drug dealers and criminals. All of this has produced an exodus of businessesthere is no longer a single major department store in the cityand residents. Detroit's population is less than half of its peak of two million in the 1960s. With the collapse of the auto industry over the past year and a half, things have gotten a lot worse. Unemployment is now touching Depression levels of around 30%three times the national rate. Businesses that depend on the auto industry are shutting down and more residents are hitting the exits. This is accelerating the erosion of the city's tax base, producing a fiscal crisis that seems impossible to escape. The city's accumulated deficit is currently somewhere between $300 million and $400 million. No one knows for sure because the city has yet to submit its 2008 audit; its annual budget is about $3 billion. Joe Harris, a former chief financial officer of Detroit, notes that when Mr. Bing took office this summer, the city had enough cash on hand to make payroll, pay vendors and meet other day-to-day needs for about 11 days. To make ends meet, Mr. Bing is planning to issue "tax anticipation" notes to lenders to raise $94 million against expected tax revenues. This money, along with the biannual property taxes that the city collected in August, might keep Detroit running through the end of the fiscal year next June. But that won't address the underlying fiscal imbalances. For that problem, Mr. Bing wants to squeeze $5 million in savings every month by asking the city's roughly 13,000 workers to take a 10% pay cut, a 10% benefit cut, and a 10% staff cut. He also wants to privatize or outsource many city services and consolidate various departments. "Our people [city workers] need to understand that entitlement is gone," Mr. Bing told the Detroit News in August. "There are people who think we are job providers. We're service providers." Mr. Bing is going to have a very hard time making the city's entrenched unions play ball. John Reihl, president of the American Federation of State, Council and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 207, regards Mr. Bing's talk of cuts as a personal insult. "It is just a way to mess with the unions," he told the Detroit News in July. "It's not our role to give anymore concessions." So far Mr. Bing has shown little indication that he'll stand up to the unions. For the third time on Friday, Mr. Bing backed off on his threat to lay off more workers if unions don't accept a wage cut. Yet a recent study by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy found that if state and local government employee benefit packages in Michigan were limited to what is typical for Midwestern private sector workersincluding those in unionstaxpayers would save as much as $5.7 billion annually. The fiscal mess puts Mr. Bing in a Catch-22. He can't cut the city's taxes because the short-term hit to cash flow would leave the city unable to pay its bills. But without tax reform the city can't lure businesses back. Detroit may simply not be viable in its current form. Political and economic leaders need to rethink the notion that the city can regain its former status as a major American metropolis capable of luring large companies with tax breakswhich was Mr. Kilpatrick's failed strategy. Detroit now more closely resembles a frontier town that needs not flashy stadiums and art institutes but basic services: police, firemen and good schools. Mr. Bing needs to confront the hard reality that the city needs to pare back its liabilities, identify infrastructure it can no longer afford to maintain, and (though this is anathema to Detroit's political class) perhaps auction off portions of its 140 square miles to neighboring counties, shrinking to a size that its diminished population base can support. Short term, Detroit's best hope may be to go bankrupt. However, given Michigan law, which has never been tested because no city has ever filed for bankruptcy, it's unclear if even bankruptcy will fully release Detroit from the clutches of its unions and allow it to start over. The only thing certain is that fate is not kind to a city that allows unions to run amok. Ms. Dalmia is a senior analyst at Reason Foundation and lives in metro Detroit.

It isn't anywhere near-deserving of that famous Al Michaels "Do you believe in miracles?" line from some 30-plus years ago in Lake Placid, N.Y.
But "believe" is a pretty companionable word around the Cardinals these days. When, exactly, they can or will add that final word "Yes!" remains to be seen.
So far, though, the Cardinals are doing their best early impression of the 1980 U.S. Olympic men's hockey team and are starting to take a country and a re-energized fan base by storm.
They are a perfect 4-0 after their imperfect 24-21 overtime victory over the visiting Miami Dolphins on Sunday and afterward, it seemed like every Arizona player or coach you talked to was preaching the power of the word "believe."
"We believe in ourselves, I know that's one thing we definitely do believe in," said wide receiver Andre Roberts, who caught two touchdown passes in the game, including the key one with 22 seconds left in regulation that helped send the game into OT.
"That's the confidence we have late in games. Our offense believes in our defense and our defense believes in our offense. That's what helps us win."
This surprising, silly, salty Cinderella-like cardiac Cardinals team just doesn't know how to quit. They've now won five consecutive overtime games overall — and an NFL-record seven in a row at home — and are 11-2 overall in their past 13 games.
Believe? Oh, they believe, all right.
Despite trailing 13-0 at halftime, despite allowing eight sacks and despite rushing for just 28 total yards, the Cardinals remain one of just three unbeaten — and likely the most unlikely — teams in the league.
Defensive tackle Darnell Dockett didn't even play Sunday because of a tight right hamstring, but he believed. Everybody in red seems to believe.
"Oh, hell yeah," said Dockett, who hopes to play Thursday night when the Cardinals play at the St.Louis Rams. "And I'm proud of them, man. They fought their ass off. They faced a lot of adversity (on Sunday), but they kept fighting and showed their resilience.
"Miami gave us their best shot. That's probably the best Miami is going to play all year long. They gave us everything they had, but we sustained and won it in the end. My hat's off to (the Dolphins), though, because they came out with a totally different game plan than we were expecting."
Who could have expected a 4-0 start by the Cardinals?
During his weekly news conference Monday with reporters at the team's Tempe training facility, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said he believed. He believed when he saw how his players responded after starting last season 1-6.
"There's no question when you lose six in a row and you're 1-6 and everybody is telling you how awful you are that you have to work hard to get out of it. And our guys did that," Whisenhunt said. "I think that went a long way in fostering a belief in team and a belief in each other.
"The 'us-against-the-world' mentality will make you a little bit stronger as a team. It got us to a Super Bowl a couple years ago. It helped turn around our team last year."
Look what it is doing now.
It took a miracle-like effort to make it happen Sunday, which included forcing two turnovers during a pivotal fourth quarter and one more still in overtime.
Belief was met with bedlam as yet another sellout crowd at University of Phoenix Stadium celebrated wildly when Jay Feely drilled home a game-winning 46-yard field goal to win it.
"I think it just speaks to the fortitude of this team," Feely said Sunday. "Obviously, we made a lot of mistakes in this game and we didn't play our best. But we got ourselves back in the game. We believed."
There's that word again.
The Cardinals were saying it after they forced a Miami turnover late in regulation only to see Kevin Kolb force a throw to Larry Fitzgerald in the end zone that was intercepted.
The Dolphins made it doubly worse when rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill immediately hit Brian Hartline for an 80-yard touchdown strike to take a 21-14 lead with seven minutes left in regulation.
"A team that doesn't have the character of this locker room, they could quit right then. We didn't," Feely said.
When a sack of Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill by speedster linebacker Daryl Washington led to a fumble recovery by veteran defensive end Vonnie Holliday, the Cardinals had a believable chance.
"I believed all along we were going to win," Washington said. "I believed Kevin (Kolb) was going to lead us down the field. I believed Jay was going to make that kick."
And wouldn't you know it, the believers came through again as Kolb made all the right moves, including a 15-yard touchdown strike to Roberts on a fourth-and-10 call with 22 seconds left in the fourth.
"That just speaks to what this team is made of," Feely said. "We don't quit. We don't give in and we don't get mad at ourselves and start pointing fingers. You just don't see that on this team."

Moore noted, "In order to make a diagnosis and initiate the appropriate treatment, veterinarians must understand the most clinically relevant aspects of the anatomy of the horse's gastrointestinal tract."
Photo: Anne M. Eberhardt/The Horse
According to a recent TheHorse.com poll, colic is many horse owners' most concerning equine emergency--and rightly so. This common ailment can be deadly or relatively easy to treat; it can clear up with an analgesic injection or it can require surgery to fix. And to boot, colic isn't picky, affecting horses of all ages, breeds, and sizes.
The good news is veterinarians and researchers have been delving deeper into understanding colic and how it relates to a horse's gastrointestinal (GI) tract. James N. Moore, DVM, PhD, recently presented on advances in understanding equine GI anatomy and the relationship it has with different types of colic at the American Association of Equine Practitioners Focus on Colic Meeting, held July 24-26 in Indianapolis, Ind.
"The term 'colic' simply means abdominal pain, but is used to describe a variety of conditions that cause the horse to exhibit clinical signs that we associate with abdominal pain," Moore began. "In order to make a diagnosis and initiate the appropriate treatment, veterinarians must understand the most clinically relevant aspects of the anatomy of the horse's gastrointestinal tract."
Moore discussed the parts of the GI tract associated with the highest risks of developing colic.
The Stomach
Moore started by reviewing the horse's stomach, noting that the animal "has a relatively small stomach, with a capacity of about eight to 10 liters."
The equine stomach, which is located on the left side of the horse's abdomen under the rib cage, is unique in that the junction between the esophagus and the cardia (the anatomical term for the part of the stomach attached to the esophagus) forms a "one-way valve." This allows matter to pass into the stomach from the esophagus, and then into small intestine (which is the next part of the GI tract after the stomach) but not back into the esophagus. Because horses cannot vomit, gas and fluid can accumulate in the stomach, resulting in severe dilation, unrelenting pain, and even stomach rupture.
Moore explained that since the stomach can't be palpated via a rectal exam and is difficult to identify on radiographs, abdominal ultrasonography is the most effective diagnostic tool used to evaluate the horse's stomach. Treating gastric dilation generally includes using a nasogastric tube to remove the fluid and gas from the stomach and a full diagnostic evaluation to determine the condition's underlying cause.
The Small Intestine
Next, Moore discussed the different types of diseases that can affect the horse's small intestine. Made up of three sections--the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum--the small intestine is one of the longest organs in the horse's body.
The duodenum is located on the horse's right side and is attached to the inner wall of the abdomen by a mesentery (a membrane that supplies blood to the intestines). Because the duodenal mesentery is short, it's nearly impossible for the duodenum to become displaced, twisted, or strangulated, Moore noted. The duodenum can, however, become distended with gas or fluid, a contrition that occurs in horses with proximal enteritis (a disease characterized by inflammation of the first half of the small intestine).
The longest portion of the small intestine, the jejunum, is about 70 feet long in most adult horses and can be the most problematic portion of the organ. Unlike the short mesentery that keeps the duodenum from being strangulated, the jejunum is connected to the inner wall of the body by a "long, wide mesentery," Moore explained, which allows the jejunum to potentially become twisted or strangulated, a condition that typically requires to colic surgery to remedy.
Finally, the ileum--which is about 18 inches long in adult horses--is much thicker and more muscular than the rest of the small intestine, a trait that decreases the size of the organ's lumen (or cavity).
The Cecum
Moore described the cecum as a large "fermentation vat" located on the horse's right side. The "vat" can hold about 30 liters of feed and fluid, he explained, adding that the cecum is the "primary site where the ingesta mixes with the microorganisms that are capable of digesting cellulose," which is broken down by microbes that change it into energy-producing volatile fatty acids. He noted that the cecum is attached to the inner wall of the horse's body, so strangulation or twisting isn't the main concern with this large organ. Rather, the cecum is known to become impacted, which means that dry ingesta fills the organ, resulting in abdominal pain. Unlike impactions involving the large colon, this ailment responds extremely well to medical therapy. It is not uncommon for the cecum to rupture spontaneously in horses with cecal impactions.
The Large Colon
After passing through the cecum, the ingesta enters the large colon. It first passes to the right ventral colon and then enters the left ventral colon; both sections mix and retain plant fibers until they're fully digested, Moore explained. After these areas comes the pelvic flexure, where the "left ventral colon passes caudally (moving head to tail) to the left flank area, where its diameter decreases substantially and the colon then folds back on itself," Moore said. Because of this decrease in diameter, the pelvic flexure is the most common location for impactions to occur.
After the pelvic flexure, the colon increases in diameter through the diaphragmatic flexure and is largest in the right dorsal colon. Moore explained that although the terminal part of the right dorsal colon is secured to the inner wall of the body, the majority of the rest of the large colon is not. As a result, these parts of the organ are prone to become displaced or twisted upon themselves.
The final part of the GI tract is the descending colon, which is also called the small colon. This is the portion of the horse's GI tract that is responsible for making fecal balls. Fortunately, the small colon isn't involved in many conditions that result in abdominal pain.
Other Regions of Concern
Finally, Moore discussed a few other areas of concern related to the GI tract:
- The inguinal canal (passage through which the testicles descend) is an area of concern in male horses, as the small intestine can become strangulated after passing through the opening;
- Small intestine incarcerations can occur at the epiploic foramen (a narrow opening connecting the main part of the abdominal cavity with a sac created by the omentum, fatty yellow tissue that surrounds some of the abdominal organs); and
- The renosplenic ligament, a fold of fibrous tissue that connects the capsule surrounding the left kidney to the spleen. It is not uncommon for the large colon to become displaced over this ligament and result in abdominal pain.
Understanding which parts of the equine digestive tract are associated with the highest risks of colic is can lead to a better understanding of the dangerous disease.

Ousted Turnbull to face NRMA board
Page Tools
Photo: Edwina Pickles
NRMA's Ross Turnbull today indicated he would not leave the presidency of the motoring group without a fight.
Mr Turnbull - who claimed victory in a highly-publicised board fight in December 2003 - was ousted by the board at a meeting last Friday.
NRMA Motoring & Services said in a statement that the board had unanimously decided to replace Mr Turnbull ``over his failure to follow agreed procedures over several months''.
A new president would be appointed at a board meeting on Thursday.
Mr Turnbull today said he would attend that meeting.
``The proper forum for discussion of matters pertaining to the NRMA presidency is this Thursday's board meeting, at which I will be in attendance,'' he said in a statement.
``At this stage all I will say is this: when I came to the NRMA board the company was losing more than $1 million dollars per week, now it is making more than $1 million dollars per week.''
Last financial year, the NRMA took a step towards financial viability when it halved its operating loss to $25 million, assisted by the year's contentious fee increases.
It also crept back into the black for the first time with an operating profit of $800,000.
The NSW and ACT-focussed road services group will report its results for the first half of this financial year on Friday.
NRMA director Alan Evans will act as interim board
chairman until a new president is chosen from the current directors
this week.

Scientists have produced embryonic stem cells from embryos that would otherwise be thrown away.
The findings, published yesterday in Nature Biotechnology by researchers from Children's Hospital Boston, raise hopes — again — of an ethically acceptable source for the potentially miraculous, highly controversial cells.
If the latest cells don't satisfy critics, says a prominent bioethicist, the critics might want to stop having sex.
Embryonic stem cells, or ESCs, have the power to become any other type of cell. They might someday be used to replace diseased or failing tissue. But the best source for ESCs is week-old human embryos. The embryos are destroyed during harvesting, drawing charges of murder from religiously conservative critics. President Bush has limited federal funding for ESC research, and the controversy has slowed ESC progress in the United States.
The last several months have produced a few alternatives to old-fashioned ESCs. Researchers in Japan and the United States made
ESC-equivalents from adult skin cells; another group figured out how to get ESCs without harming embryos more than they already are by a common gene-screening technique. However, neither ESC source is ready for prime time: so-called reprogrammed cells aren't medically viable, and the harm caused by blastomere biopsy still provokes ethical objection.
Old-fashioned ESC sources are still best; the controversy continues.
Enter the Children's Hospital Boston researchers, who showed that
"flawed" embryos, hundreds of thousands of which are produced every year by in-vitro fertilization clinics, can be used to generate embryonic stem cells. The embryos, too genetically defective to be implanted in a woman, are usually discarded; they were previously considered too defective to make ESCs. Since the embryos can't ever become people, and are headed for the incinerator anyways, how could it be wrong to destroy them in research?
I put this question to University of Pennsylvana bioethics professor
Arthur Caplan. Said
I think it makes eminent good sense. Clinics are constantly putting aside embryos that don't look right or are developing incorrectly.
Occasionally those embryos are used in training embryologists. So it seems to me not to be a big moral step to say, "Why not use them for research purposes?"Some would say they're still disabled — so they're not persons, but disabled persons. That's a bogus metaphor. They're not disabled, they're inabled. They lack potential. They can't become anything in terms of human growth. Their programming is so seriously wrong that they're not believed capable of becoming a fetus. I think the position that a severely abnormal embryo headed for destruction might not be used in research just doesn't take seriously the moral need for doing some research. It's turning a moral position that might be defensible
— non-destruction — into a moral fetish.There's no way you can avoid creating malprogrammed embryos. Nature does it. It's going to happen in the clinic, too. So to object, you're going to have to move toward a position that says, "No sexual activity for fear that we might make malformed embryos naturally." Again, I think it's an incoherent position. In nature, many eggs and many embryos don't work. Of human eggs, about 5 percent work properly. In nature, I believe around 20 percent of embryos work properly. You have tremendous loss of both eggs and embryos. Reprodction is a very difficult thing to make work properly by sexual relations. It fails far more often than it works. If you're going to fetishize the embryos, you're going to say, "I can't have sexual relations because I have to preserve every embryo."
That likely won't prove a popular position, though it would certainly settle the whole stem cell debate in a few generations. (Insert your riff on the Shakers here.)
However, Caplan cautioned that "the very things that make these embryos unavailable for making babies might turn out to disqualifying in terms of whether they can make useful stem cells." The Nature Biotechnology
study was an excellent proof of principle, but we still need to see if the cells work.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Cichlids
- - Angelfish behavior
Angelfish behavior I have 4 angelfish in my 55 gallon community tank. When I bought them they were small, about nickel sized, and all 4 about the same size. They have all grown up together. Apparently 2 have paired off now. I have no interest in breeding them, and I assume that if any eggs are laid, other fish in the tank will eat them. Now on to my question. The ones that have paired off, especially the one I am assuming is the male, chases the other 2 quite a bit and keeps them pretty much cornered. They are able to get food though, so they aren't starving. I do not see any bite marks, no bloody spots, but I don't like the idea of their being so miserable. If I return the non paired angels to the fish store, will the remaining pair then start to show aggression to the other members of the tank? Right now, the paired angels just seem to be aggressive towards the other angels. I hope this question makes sense.. Its late, and Im tired, but I wanted to get the question posted before I went to bed. thank you in advance, Gina |
why do you want to keep the paired off angels they will be aggressive to any fish and will kill off the other angels if you dont want to breed angelfish or want a breeding pair you should get rid of the pair and keep the rest of your fish other wise the breeding pair wont stop picking on the other fish I recommend you either get those paired off angels a tank of there own or you return them. |
Thank you for replying. Ok, so if I understand what you are saying, if I keep the 2 that are not paired off, and return the 2 that have paired off, won't the 2 that remain then become aggressive to each other? All the other fish are left alone, and everyone gets along just fine.. nice and peaceful. I just don't want anyone getting hurt Gina |
This is normal behaviour for angelfish. Depending upon the extent of the aggressiveness of the male, it may be best to leave them or it may not. Angelfish are cichlids, and when any cichlid spawns, they own the territory and do not like any intruders; some will very vigorously defend it. If the spawning pair spawn at one end of the tank, the other two fish should be reasonably OK keeping their distance. But if the spawning male becomes really mean, as can happen, with what we may term physical assault, the other two may quickly end up dead as much from stress trying to escape as actual physical injury. I'm not there to see their behaviours, so I can only point out the possibilities and options. This is an issue whenever angelfish are placed in a community tank. |
thank you Byron.. thats pretty much where we sit. The pair have picked out a place right in the middle of the tank, and are in the vigourously cleaning the surface together part of spawning. If I return the mated (for the lack of a better word) pair and keep the two that are left who are not paired up, will the aggressiveness stop? Or should I take all 4 back and get a school of colorful tetras.. or something (whatever you can suggest) that is as easy going as my cories? Gina |
As for keeping the two submissive fish, if they are both female they will probably be fine; if both male, they will likely not. If male/female, they will spawn at some point as they will then be the owners of the tank which is what the first pair are now. |
thank you again Byron.. here's a really stupid question then.. how can I tell male from female? Im only assuming that the more aggressive of the 2 that paired off is male.. and is relentless in not letting the other non paired 2 have any space in my 55 gallon tank. So how can I tell if the other non paired 2 are female? My understanding has been that it is hard to tell... All I do know is they are both submissive and try their best to stay away from the pair. Gina |
ok then I think Im right about the paired up 2.. but what about the 2 that would be left if I only return the ones that are preparing to mate. You said if the remaining 2 are female then all should be ok.. They are not in breeding condition, obviously.. they are more in the how small can I be in the corner here so that bully doesn't see me condition. Sorry to be asking so many questions. Gina |

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court ordered a halt Monday to same-sex marriages in Utah, sending a go-slow signal as it suspended a federal district judge's decision that gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to marry.
The terse order came with no dissents, suggesting justices are not ready to recognize a right to gay marriage nationwide and reluctant to allow a lower court to nudge them into answering a legal question they carefully avoided in two landmark gay-rights rulings last year.
"If this means anything, it means they want a little more time to decide this," said Cornell law professor Michael Dorf, a former court clerk. "And this order guarantees that."
The order puts a stop to the issuance of new marriage licenses for gay and lesbian couples in Utah while the state appeals to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. About a thousand marriage licenses were issued over the past two weeks after the judge's Dec. 20 ruling.
The appeals court is expected to rule later this year, probably meaning the losing side won't get a final decision from the Supreme Court before 2015.
Monday's order, which one gay-rights advocate likened to hitting the "pause button," came as a surprise and disappointment to some. It also left the legal unions of gay and lesbian couples in doubt while the state debates whether to uphold or invalidate marriages conducted before Monday's Supreme Court stay.
"It is very unfortunate that so many Utah citizens have been put into this legal limbo," said Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes. He said his office was "carefully evaluating the legal status of the marriages that were performed since the district court's decision and will not rush to a decision that impacts Utah citizens so personally."
Gay marriage has been steadily gaining acceptance in opinion polls, state legislatures and state courts. Currently, 17 states allow same-sex couples to marry, but at least 28 states -- including Utah and Pennsylvania -- have constitutional provisions that limit marriage to a man and a woman.
Last week, Utah's attorney general sought a temporary stay from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who has jurisdiction over such requests from the state. She referred it to the entire Supreme Court, which granted the stay.
The short, one-paragraph order offered no clues about how justices might ultimately rule. Some legal experts said if the court had refused to issue the stay, it might have been seen as a strong indication that justices were ready to go further than they had in June.

What's the 20 percent?
Anyone can tell out the small mash-ups in models, especially low-poly models. You can see some of the jagged edges on the side of the models or around that area. But when looking at an image filled to the brim with Anti Aliasing or something like that it's pretty hard to notice because you're looking at what is going on the ragdoll posing and the idea behind it.

And here is the link to Chapter one: http://subsmith.wordpress.com/2010/0...ocket-for-two/
Much thanks to subsmith, hopefully someone will do the rest. Its pretty funny, and I actually like Yuri and Hinata's interaction alot. Its great getting to know more about the guy. A very funny and yet intriguing first chapter a microcosm of the show itself in some ways. Spoiler for Just more thoughts:

These are awesome thank you! I will have to email him thanks as well.
Man these chapters keep getting better. The double translations makes certain passages a tad confusing but its interesting to see how it all started. Yuri is getting on my nerves more and more, Tenshi gets more interesting as a character, and I have a lot more respect for Hinata now, cool guy. |

Just caught up with the latest translated chapter (4). So Chaa is actually a high schooler too, I thought he was way older than the others
It's interesting to see how the SSS was founded. These chapters certainly didn't change my mind about Yuri, she acts too much like a bitch for my tastes. Though I can see she's got some good sides to her. She and Hinata sure jumped to conclusions fast about Kanade, but it's good to see they actually tried to communicate with her at first, I'm curious to see how that discussion in her room will turn out. I wish I could sniff Tenshi's pajamas... What am I saying? That part was a bit weird.

Same here, I read all the chapters and she definetly sounds almost like haruhi. In the anime though I get a different vibe from her though like she became nicer or something. She still carrry that same resentment but I didn't think she was that extreme before.

The most logical conclusion to this is that Yuri was still boiling down after what happened before she died.
Being all alone for years most likely jaded her before dying, then hanging around with "comrades" warmed her up. The evident part is that her resentment is vastly toned down, like in the novel, she is quite angry like half of the time when a touchy subject is brought to the table. The fact she wasn't really fancying random stuff in the novel indicates clearly she was quite obsessed in finding a lead and beating "something to pulp". I wouldn't be surprised if her development in the novel will lead by the end of it, her current state of mind in the anime. (Fun fact is that, if the whole "Tenshi is human" popped right in the novel, she would definitely go panzer, unlike in her anime period).

Wow, very cool. It looks like there should be a secret message in there somewhere. I don't mind occasionally having to reinvent a wheel; I don't even mind using someone's reinvented wheel occasionally. But it helps a lot if it is symmetric, contains no fewer than ten sides, and has the axle centered. I do tire of trapezoidal wheels with offset axles. --Joseph Newcomer

Craig Bellamy
Sport, Motivational
Dual premiership-winning NRL coach Craig Bellamy is widely considered one of the finest coaches in the rugby league world.
The 2008-2009 NSW Origin coach and former Canberra Raiders player – he chalked up 148 first-grade matches with the Green Machine before tapping into coaching in 1993 – masterminded the Melbourne Storm's 23-16 victory over Parramatta in the 2009 NRL decider to add to his 2007 grand final success when his team defeated Manly 34-8.
In between was a thumping 40-0 loss to Manly in the 2008 grand final which provided Bellamy with the huge challenge of turning disappointment into satisfaction in the space of 12 months.
Four straight grand final appearances by the Storm point to the impact and influence Bellamy has had on the club.
Once he retired from playing in 1992, Bellamy set his sights on succeeding as a coach.
He joined the Raiders coaching staff immediately as President's Cup coach and, after guiding the team to a premiership in 1995, was appointed the club's strength and conditioning and reserve grade coach (1996) and first-grade assistant coach to Test great Mal Meninga (1997).
He moved to Brisbane in 1998 as first grade assistant coach to Wayne Bennett and earned widespread acknowledgement for his contributions to the Broncos' grand final triumphs in 1998 and 2000.
In 2003, Bellamy was appointed head coach of the Melbourne Storm.
Three years later the Storm, after having won the minor premiership by a record eight points, progressed to the grand final, only to be beaten 15-8 by the Broncos. The following year (2007) the Storm made amends in devastating fashion, whipping the Manly Sea Eagles - after again claiming the minor premiership title.
For his efforts, Bellamy was named the Sydney Morning Herald's 2007 Coach of the Year. In selecting Bellamy, the newspaper recorded that the Storm coach "is everything he was as a player – known for his passion, dedication and commitment".
Craig Bellamy, who was the Australian Kangaroos assistant coach in 2005 and 2006, and NSW Country Origin coach from 2005 to 2007, is contracted to the Melbourne Storm to the end of the 2013 season.

HUGE drop - please helpDec 13, 2008 Hello Please help me out, I am going crazy! I am 26 years old man living in Brazil. I was diagnosed Dec '07 in routine tests, probably infected beggining 07 (tested negative on Jul 06). My CD4 count drop was HUGE on the last 2 lab tests... please see below: DATE - VL - LOG - CD4 - % FEB08 - 15,774 - 4,198 - 565 - N/A MAY08 - 60,465 - 4,782 - 533 - N/A SEP08 - 35,431 - 4,549 - 396 - 15% NOV08 - 75,354 - 4,877 - 388 - 11% I will repeat testing on JAN09. So far I havent had any infections and feel well. I have never been on drugs, don't drink at all, sleep and eat well, have safe sex. So, I cant just realize why this HUGE CD4 drop. Please help, I am so scared about my test results. What does such quick drop mean? Why can that hapen? My doctor thinks this drop is rather unusual, and I should be considering starting meds soon if CD4 confirms on the next testing. Do I have the same chances of success with meds as compared to other people. Does it mean I will probably have more issues in the future than average? What about the side effects? Also, the doctor is considering start medication with AZT + Lamivudine + Efavirenz. Is this a good combination??? I am afraid about the side efects with AZT. One last question: what is the status on the travel ban on USA? I work for an american company here and they are considering sending me to USA next year... This all is very frustrating, haven't been able to sleep. Please help! Thank you so much |
Response from Dr. Younghello and thank you for your post. Your labs would seem to confirm a drop in your CD4 levels- indeed, your CD4 percentages of 15 and 11 would, to me, indicate that it is time to start treatment. Furthermore, while your CD4 absolute count is apparently somewhat higher than the current thresholds to start treatment, there is a general opinion that CD4 count drops greater than 100 cells per year (as yours are) is another indicator to start. Sadly, whether to drink, use drugs or don't get enough rest doesn't really change the trajectory of your CD4 declines. This is primarily for the obvious reason that it's the virus that causes the drops. Fortunately, you should have an excellent response to treatment-Here in the US, Combivir is now relegated to an alternative to the more commonly prescribed Truvada and Epzicom. Most patients that take Combivir-based treatments do very well- though some do experience headache and nausea. This isn't inevitable, but can happen. Efavirenz (Sustiva) is also similarly very well tolerated in most people- the medication causes a characteristic sense of feeling drunk and having vivid dreams- these effects usually fade away after the first week or two of treatment. The combination of Combivir+Efavirenz has long been a workhorse regimen. I'd definitely expect that you'd do well. As for immigration status, the most recent statement from the US government is that the ban on visa applications for those with HIV should be reversed in the very near future. It's really just a matter of the new legislation getting through Congress. I hope this helps. Please feel free to write me back here at TheBody.com's forums anytime. BY | ||||||||||

Anglo-Norwegian oil and gas junior Bridge Energy announced Thursday that its 16/1-16 well on Norwegian production license 457, which was spud on Oct. 24, has detected indications of hydrocarbons within the Asha target zone. "The Bridge 2012 exploration programme has delivered discoveries for us at Garantiana in Norway and Contender in the UK and whilst the interim results from the Noor horizon at the PL457 well were not as expected , initial results from the Asha horizon indicate the presence of hydrocarbons and we will make a further announcement following completion of drilling operations," commented Bridge CEO Tom Reynolds in a company statement. In a separate third quarter 2012 results statement, also announced Thursday, Bridge said its production averaged 1,167 barrels of oil equivalent per day during 3Q 2012 – an improvement on the 1,096 boepd it managed in 3Q 2011. During the quarter the firm generated physical petroleum revenues totalling NOK 50.6 million, almost double the NOK 26.8 million it reported for 3Q 2011. The firm's operating loss for 3Q 2012 was NOK 58 million, compared with a loss of NOK 6.1 million in 3Q 2011. Bridge said that it will continue to pursue a full exploration program in 2013 with several wells planned, including the Mjøsa well on Norwegian production license 511, which is scheduled for 3Q 2013. The firm added that it is also actively seeking a farm-in partner for its Vulcan East, North West Vulcan and Vulcan South licenses, and is looking at drilling an additional well near its Duart East prospect and Duart South discovery.

…and the Eagles just scored again. The DeSean Jackson highlight reel continues against the Giants. Big Blue was like a boxer that got drawn into a brawl against an opponent with superior punching power, and ended up getting battered 45-38 in a Jersey slugfest.
The Giants offense had its moments, and Eli Manning had some lovely throws. But the only things that could stop the Eagles from scoring were the halftime and end of the game whistles. Neither team was particularly able to tackle, resulting in a string of offensive fireworks, and a contest that was destined to go to the squad that could make more Big Plays. Clearly, that team was the Iggles.
The Eagles had Jackson slicing and dicing the Giants D for two TDs once again, plus the fortunate bounce on the Brandon Jacobs fumble to set up a 60-yard run and TD. What did the Giants have? Well, big catches from Hakeem Nicks and Domenick Hixon, OK, but also BIIIIIG drops from Nicks (two of them!) as well as some less-than-stellar endzone footwork from Mario Manningham. Big Blue needed one or two of these unmade Big Plays to come through to get the upper hand on Philly. On a night when Manning was hurling darts around the field with stunning accuracy, his young receivers just could not step up under the bright lights.
Once again the Giants have many of the elements to beat other teams, but lack either the game plan or execution to tie it all toghether into a winning strategy.
The loss leaves the 7-6 Giants looking up at the Packers and Cowboys in the Wild Card hunt, coming into next Monday night's matchup with the struggling Redskins. But you can pencil in a loss for the reeling Cowboys against the Saints next week. That means a Giants victory in DC would give Big Blue the upper hand on the Cowboys (with the tiebreaker already in the Giants' pocket). So all is not lost Giants fans, destiny may still be in our hands. If we can put up 38 points in Washington I like our chances. All we have to do is be better than Dallas from here on out. At least that's one thing we've proven we can do well this season.
