First of all, I would avoid the use of the idiom "French leave". I know it fits the context of this sentence and means "leaving an event early without notifying the host." However, I would venture that most native English speakers do not know the meaning of this idiom...I certainly didn't and had to look it up on the internet to discover how it is used. So, it can easily be mis-understood and thought of as a slur against French people.
As far as "leave of/leave from" goes "leave from" would be the better choice.
Finally the use of "enterovirus" is difficult to understand. This is not a name for a disease...rather this is a name for genus of (+)ssRNA viruses
Unless you are a specialist in this field of medicine there is no way for the reader of your sentence to understand what you are talking about. This word would appear only in a medical dictionary.
Use the KISS method (Keep It Simple Stupid) of writing sentences. Don't use $5 words that most people (including often the writer) don't understand unless they are necessary for clarity and you had an audience who understands them. It doesn't make the writer sound knowledgeable....it makes him sound ostentatious (to use a $5 word myself).
I would rewrite this
Melissa was under the weather because she was infected with a virus the other day; as a result, she left the party early without informing her host.

Round Table Pizza Menu - Topped To The Hilt
The first thing you notice about a Round Table Pizza (RTP) is that it is actually covered in toppings till its ends, unlike the pizzas served elsewhere. However, the Round Table Pizza Menu tells you that there is a lot more to this restaurant than just perfectly topped pizzas. Read on if you don't believe us:
Premium Specialty Pizzas
King Arthur's Supreme: As the name suggests, this pizza is a feast fit for royals. It comes loaded with pepperoni, Italian sausage, dry salami, linguica, white mushrooms, green peppers, yellow onions, black olives, AND a blend of 3 cheeses. All this is topped with the restaurant's Zesty Red Sauce, with shrimp, and anchovies if you request so.
Montague's All Meat Marvel: This pizza is an ideal choice for the meat lover, who likes to gorge upon everything "meaty." The toppings are that of Italian sausage, pepperoni, Italian dry salami, and linguica. Besides, it is slathered in RTP's signature Zesty Red Sauce.
Guinevere's Garden Delight: Okay, so you are not a meat-lover but a veggie-lover. No problem. The RTP serves you this pizza, which is topped with a lot of veggies and is deliciously baked in a blend of 3 cheeses, topped with the Zesty Red Sauce.
Maui Zaui: A surprising taste, which comes from tender ham, crisp bacon, juicy chunks of pineapple, Roma tomato slices, and red and green onions atop this pizza. The 3-cheese blend and the Zesty Red Sauce are a common factor here as well.
BBQ Chicken Pizza: There is no combo as good as the BBQ flavor on a pizza. The toppings are sumptuous enough to keep you satiated. The sweet and tangy BBQ sauce is an add-on.
Create Your Own
Wanna take matters in your own hands as far as your pizza is concerned? Well, The RTP chefs wouldn't mind that too. That is why you are given a chance to "Create Your Own Pizza", with the following specifications.
Sizes: Choose to make personal, small, medium, large or extra large pizza sizes, which you can enjoy alone, with family or friends, depending upon your specifications.
Crusts: You can choose from among original, pan or skinny crusts.
Sauces: You are, by now, familiar with the Zesty Red Sauce but the RTP has much more to offer, like Creamy Garlic, Polynesian, and Pesto sauces.
Meats: Strictly for non-vegetarians, they can have their fill of meats at RTP restaurant. Your choices are: salami, bacon, ham, linguica, pepperoni, primo pepperoni, Italian sausage, grilled chicken, anchovies, and shrimp, phew!!!
Veggies: Vegetable lovers need not worry after reading the previous point. They will also be well cared for, as is visible in the choices of vegetables that they will have to choose from: black olives, spinach, zucchini, onions, Roma tomatoes, Artichoke hearts, white mushrooms, pineapple, green peppers, chopped/roasted garlic, and jalapenos.
If you are out for a light evening snack and happen to stumble into the RTP restaurant, you can safely order one or more of these appetizers, with your favorite beverage and chill out after a hard day's work. Your choices are: Garlic Parmesan Twists, and Buffalo Wings.
The choice in the salad section is a little limited, with Garden Salad and Caesar Salad being your only choices.
The Round Table Pizza Menu is wholly devoted to pizzas, so if you are going there to have something of a meal, then you will have to limit yourself to just pizzas because there is not much choice in any other section. However, let this be said that the pizzas served at RTP are fully loaded with toppings and once you bite into it, you will not wish for anything else.

PORTLAND, Ore., Tuesday—As I arrived at Columbia University on Friday afternoon, I was presented by some of the students from Barnard with a copy of the Barnard Bulletin in which they had covered "The changing role of women in America from 1754 to 1954." The young lady who handed the bulletin to me said that this was the story of the way women had come out of the home and entered into all kinds of professions and careers.
Their editorial states: "If the history of women over the last 200 years shows anything, it is that women have made more progress socially, economically and politically than any other group whose rights and privileges were once severely restricted in this country."
This is true, but I think one thing should be said. Women have made great advances not only here but in many other countries of the world, but I do not think that they are made along the lines of leaving the home and substituting other activities. I think activities within the home have changed and therefore women have been able, not only to have their homes and do their jobs in the homes, but also to take part in the broader life of the nation.
This is a rather important difference, because whatever women do they have a special function in life. They bring children into the world and they are closer to them than the father. This is not to minimize the father's role, only to emphasize the closeness of the mother and the child.
Today I read that a religious group had emphasized the fact that a working mother was not desirable because she was not able to give the proper care to the children in the home. I think it is important to emphasize the fact that mothers have a primary job, particularly in the earliest years of their children's lives, but the circumstances surrounding the home today are very different than in former years.
Life and civilization have greatly changed and therefore the woman's life has changed. She has extended her influence to the wider fields which are now accessible. She can have a career even if she is a mother, for if the family plan their lives together, no one will suffer. It must be a joint understanding in which all work together.
The Barnard Bulletin will give every woman a lift in its chronicle of the successes of women in many lines. We do not often see such a complete coverage of the areas in which women have moved forward. There is far greater opportunity and choice for the women of today and everyone of us should rejoice in our freedom and in the potential freedom that is coming to women all over the world.

Re-election change
A compromise gun control bill that included a comprehensive package expanding background checks for gun purchases, increasing penalties against gun trafficking and investing in school safety fell short in the Senate. All but four Republicans and a handful of conservative Democrats voted their careers rather than their conscience unless, of course, their conscience is purely egocentric. This legislation would not have violated any law-abiding citizen's Second Amendment rights.
This means along with all the other gutless senators who voted to prevent measures that would have made it tougher for criminals, gang members and mentally unstable individuals to purchase a firearm, Senators Cornyn and Cruz sided with the gun industry and its handmaiden, the NRA, rather than with their constituents. They kowtowed to a vocal minority rather than do the right thing.
Polls show 90 percent of Americans favored these extended background checks. Despite being a pro-gun state, most Texans do favor sensible gun-control measures, which include not only background checks on all purchases but a ban on some assault weapons, as well.
Clearly, the voice of gun lobbyists means more to Cruz and Cornyn than those who actually elected them to office. Perhaps we can change that when they run for re-election.

Really Get Away
These locations will take you off the map.
Tristan de Cunha
A six-day boat trip, usually by fishing vessel, is the quickest way to reach this South Atlantic island from the nearest port of Cape Town, South Africa. Less than 300 people live in the most remote human settlement on Earth, a quaint village, named as if by a novelist on adventure, Edinburgh of the Seven Seas. The rural community sits beneath the giant basalt cliffs that raise active volcano Queen Mary's Peak nearly 7,000 feet above them. Napoleon was exiled on nearby island St. Helena, and soon after, the British realized the strategic importance of Tristan and annexed it in 1816. Loaded with rare sea birds, marine and plant life, and virtually disconnected from TV and Internet access, this is the definition of an escape. Shipping prices start at $250 and accommodations include a public house, guest houses and stays in private homes, starting at $50 per person per night, or stay at the Traditional Thatched House Museum for $165 per person for a one-night stay.

Erik the Red named Greenland to entice Scandinavians to settle there. It was a tough sell. Almost all of the North Atlantic island is buried underneath ice. But for the traveler looking for the place less traveled, this is the place. From Kangerlussuaq Airport, catch the first flight north to Ilulissat. Then, a short drive brings you to the striking red hotel. The Hotel Arctic looks out over iceberg- filled Disko Bay, 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Inside, a Danish sense of modern design takes over, with large windows to drink in the view. Restaurant Ulo and Café Ferdinand bring gourmet eats to the rocky outpost. In the summer, visitors can enjoy a Greenlandic barbecue and stay in modern aluminum-framed igloos. Rates begin at $360 per night. Prices include breakfast and airport shuttle.

The Winterlake Lodge only has latitude and longitude coordinates. That's remote. Almost 200 miles northwest of Anchorage, along the Iditarod Trail at the western edge of the Alaska Range, the resort has just five cabins and a main lodge, and the only way you'll get there is by a plane that lands on the lake. Surrounded by wilderness, there are plenty of trails to explore as well as kayaking and fishing. Of course, if you'd rather, just hang out at the lodge, enjoy a massage or yoga class and get a glass of wine at the bar. In the winter, explore by dog sled and watch the Northern Lights from the hot tub on the deck. Cabins start at $1,400 per person per night and include air transport to and from the airport, meals and guide service.

Best Kitchen Remodeling Sites
Everyone knows the kitchen is the most popular room in the home. It is often the first place you go to once you awaken. Kitchen areas often attract guests in, even when they have been asked to not bother assisting. It's like there is magic happening in that room and everybody wants to take part in it. Even though kitchen areas have always received this type of draw, the fact is that contemporary floor plans of an open kitchen space simply enhance the situation that much more.
Capitalizing on such an essential room is the reason for this write-up. We could go on eternally with tips and ideas regarding how to revamp your home kitchen, what meals to cook (and what appliances to cook with), and ways to trobleshoot and fix common difficulties. But because we have limited time, we thought we would simply share a couple of random ideas together with you here...
The Importance Of Fridge Upkeep To Help Make The Family Fridge Carry On
Inside the kitchen, there are numerous very important home appliances for the everyday life, but none compare in significance to the almighty fridge. After all, think of the time a lot of people devote with their heads inside, simply gazing! Fine, enough with all the jokes... Seriously though, with the price of a new family fridge and also the part it performs in keeping your food edible, you truly shouldn't joke around with how you keep it functioning for as long as possible. Think about it - if your refrigerator goes bad, so does all the food within. That is usually one high-priced as well as odiferous mess.
If you're looking to help make the most of the lifetime of your fridge, here are some things you should bear in mind if you ever have to move one.
If at all possible, ensure the fridge is kept in an upright position while it's being transferred. If your refrigerator loses freon, it will not be able to cool properly. And when a refrigerator is put upon its side, the chances of freon leaking out go up noticeably. To stop the high-priced repair of replacing a condensor, make sure that you stay away from resting a refrigerator upon its backside, the spot that the condensor coils can be found. This can be a recipe for really serious problems.
To make positive you receive the very best, lengthiest life from your refrigerator, you will also want to think carefully about where you'll be placing it... For instance, you never want to place a refrigerator too near to a source of heat. Sunny windows, heating system vents and your kitchen oven will be types of what you want to keep a decent distance from your refrigerator. Getting good air flow round the fridge can also be vitally important. Particularly you need to ensure that the motor, condensor and coils all have a good amount of air flow getting to them, to make sure they do not get choked out and cause problems. In case your fridge has these types of mechanical elements on the base of the product, you definitely want to avoid placing it upon any type of carpets. Carpets and rugs act as both insulating material for retaining heat, as well as barriers to reduce air-flow. Both of these can be quite detrimental to the life of a refrigerator.
Food Preparation With A Crock Pot
Probably the most disregarded and under-used appliances available in many kitchen areas is the crock pot. The silly thing is that for many of us, it has been right there in our cupboards the entire time! With some basic forethought and preparation, the time which you spend in your kitchen preparing your next meal will likely be noticeably reduced.
Of the numerous advantages to cooking using a crock pot, one that's typically forgotten is the monetary factor... You don't have to pay a very high price on the pricey cuts of meat in order to get something you don't need a chainsaw to cut. I personally don't like tough meat, but since a slow cooked piece will be naturally tenderized while it cooks over a long time, that is no longer an issue. How cool is that? Something that is easy for the pocket book, straightforward for the workload, nevertheless a really great tasting and gratifying final result.
Tips For Keeping Wooden Surfaces Clean
Natural hardwoods are super popular in kitchens all over because of their unique look and ability to make flooring and other fixtures stand out so beautifully. The thing to remember about having a natural wood surface, especially when we're talking about kitchens, is that they really need to be thoroughly cleaned after each use. Since wood was once a living thing, it maintains a bit of porousness to it, which allows it to retain a certain amount of odors and unwanted bacteria that could be harmful to us if we're not careful.
If a wood is more open-grained, it will also be more porous, and potentially more problematic. If you're not too sure about "open" and "closed" or "tight" grained woods, just think about oak and maple. Maple is tighter grained and oak is more open.
You don't need to use harsh solvents to clean your wood surfaces - simple mild liquid dish soap and hot water will normally suffice.
Bleach water solution can also be used to make sure you prevent any kind of spread of bacteria. It's not a complicated recipe to have an adequate cleaning solution. Just 1 tablespoon of bleach to 1 gallon of water will do the trick. All you need to do now is put the mixture in a spray bottle and spray and wipe down any surfaces after using them and you should be good to go.
Never, ever use any of those scouring cleansers like Ajax or Comet on your wooden kitchen surfaces. That's a sure way to ruin them.

Low power price threatens Norway's green targets
Date: 08-Nov-12
Country: Norway
Author: Nerijus Adomaitis
Norway's ambitious plans to boost wind power output to cut greenhouse gas emissions and diversify supplies are at risk because of low power prices and an underfunded subsidy scheme, industry sources say.
Norway, the second largest gas supplier to Europe after Russia, aims to cut its greenhouse emissions by 30 percent below 1990 levels by 2020, power more offshore oil platforms from its onshore grid, and diversifying its power supply.
But its dependence on hydro-power generation leaves it vulnerable to changes in rainfall, with dry and cold years resulting in high power prices and the risk of power shortages.
Government support is aimed at increasing the return on investments from electricity sales revenues to make wind power economical, but it can fund only a part of prospective investments.
"Without subsidies, (wholesale) power prices need to be around 600 crowns ($100) per megawatt-hour to make things fly," Andreas Aasheim, an advisor to Norway's wind energy association Norwea said.
But lasting wet weather periods can push power prices down, as was the case this year, reducing the appetite for investment into capital-intensive wind power.
Nordic electricity prices are so low that even with the subsidy, the total income from renewable power generation currently is only around $72.9 a MWh, lower than the cost of producing wind power which is between $90 to $110 per MWh.
As a result, only one tiny 1.6 megawatt (MW) wind power plant with two 0.8 MW capacity turbines has received green certificates in Norway since a joint Norwegian-Swedish subsidy program was launched in January 2012.
Many prospective investors may abandon their plans because the projects are not financially viable.
Under the market-based support scheme, renewable power producers receive green certificates which they can sell on the market to make production profitable.
"We issue a lot of (wind power) licenses, but we don't see many investments," Per Sanderud, the head of Norway's power market regulator NVE, told Reuters.
"Some projects were too optimistic in financial or technical terms while others have no grid to connect to yet."
As a result, data from the European wind energy association shows that Norway, a country with a long coastline exposed to Atlantic gales, had only 520 MW of installed wind power capacity in 2011, well below Denmark's almost 4,000 MW and Sweden's 2,900 MW.
A standard gas, coal or nuclear powered electricity station has an installed capacity of around 1,000 MW.
The NVE has issued 65 licenses for wind farms which would have a total installed capacity of 4,778 MW, but wind farms with only 520 MW of that capacity have been constructed so far.
NVE officials said they expected only 150 MW to come online within two to three years, while it would take until between 2017 and 2020 for any additional projects to materialize.
The government aims to add about 5,000 MW in new power generation from renewables by the end of this decade, and NVE predicts up to a half to come from wind power.
"You can't expect to have more than 6-7 TWh (of annual wind power production)," Sanderud said.
That would be equal to 2,200-2,600 MW of installed capacity.
Nordic power prices have fallen sharply this year as ample rain filled water reservoirs above historic levels.
The average Nordic monthly power spot price in October was 34.8 euros ($44.48) a MWh.
"The prices of electricity and green certificates have been too low to finance new investments," said Peter Chudi, vice president at Stockholm's SKM brokerage, which trades in green certificates.
Average monthly prices for Nordic green certificates rose by 25 percent since June to 189.9 Swedish crowns ($28.38) a megawatt-hour in October, data from SKM showed.
If power prices remain unchanged, prices of green certificates need to double to reach the levels to cover the wind power production costs.
One of the biggest wind power projects approved by NVE, a 150 MW wind turbine park in central Soer-Troendelag county developed by SAE Vind DA, is estimated to produce power at a cost range of 510-620 crowns ($90-$110) per MWh. ($1 = 5.7370 Norwegian crowns)

Rotary parlor milking is a proven concept. Rotary parlors are labor efficient milking parlors for dairies requiring a high cow throughput per hour. Cows are very calm and the milking routine is the same for every cow, every day.
The rotary parlor's operators are positioned in one location for the task being performed. The operators will only leave their stations to attend to a cow or machine with a problem. The rotary parlor's continuous cow flow makes it possible for the milker to work without any interruptions because the operator does not assist the cow flow and can totally concentrate on the essential milking tasks. Rotary parlors provide very good working conditions for the operator. They offer a safe and consistent working environment. Platform entry, pre-milking work routine, milking unit attachment and cow exit from the rotary parlor are always constant.

Hunnewell was placed with Powell despite being charged last winter with an attack in the Mental Health Unit on another inmate there, Jay Brensinger, 28, who was hit over the head with a shovel.
"The prison was well aware of Hunnewell's mental-health problems and should have protected Alan Powell from him," said Judy Garvey of the Maine Prisoner Advocacy Coalition. "How is it possible Hunnewell had access to a shovel? How is it possible that he would then have another weapon to allegedly kill Powell?"
Responding to questions about the safety of mentally ill prisoners, Corrections spokesman Scott Fish said the expanded unit would be run in a different way, though he "wouldn't say" it would be safer than the Mental Health Unit currently is.
After some delay by Corrections in answering why legislators weren't informed about the murder site — the department had informed several legislators that a murder had taken place — Jody Breton, an associate commissioner, said it wasn't revealed because federal HIPAA medical-privacy law prohibited that. (HIPAA is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.)
In an email defending her department, which prosecutes murders, for not informing legislators where the prison murder took place, Attorney General Mills said "state officials would not be at liberty to comment on any inmate's medical/mental health services or on the investigative details of an alleged murder."
Prosecutors commonly reveal, however, where murders occur. And several national-level experts consulted by the Phoenix said HIPAA is not as far-reaching as Maine officials claim. "I know of no HIPAA regulation that would prevent the disclosure of where an incident occurred within a facility, even if that were on the Mental Health Unit," said Andrea Weisman, of Washington DC, a clinical psychologist who 10 years ago was a federal-court expert helping design Riverview's forensic services.

Is this true love?
By Richard Gough
9 May 2012
Of course this is a very new love affair as the Olympus OM-D E5 is a new camera but I have used the 45mm M.ZUIKO lens since November 2011 when, attached to a Olympus Pen E-PM1, it travelled to the Falkland Islands with me for a pilgrimage visit with other UK vetrans.
My favourite subject in photography is telling stories that are people focussed, I am a very active amateur photojournalist. As a Falklands War veteran this means that a lot of my stories come from events and reunions where I am also part of the story. Therefore my camera and lens of choice need to be low profile, easy to use and fast so I get to capture the right moment the first time. Given this requirement the entry of the highly anticipated Olympus OM-D E5 into the marketplace got my attention immediately.
The Olympus OM System was a line of 35mm single-lens reflex cameras, lenses and accessories sold by Olympus between 1972 and 2002 and they were very popular. When Olympus announced the OM-D range in 2011 they stated "..the OLYMPUS OM-D, picks up where the original OM series left off. Like the popular PEN Series models, the OLYMPUS OM-D features a compact, lightweight design that's fully compliant with the Micro Four Thirds System standard. But whereas the PEN Series inherited the convenience, simplicity, and high image quality offered by the PEN Series in the film age, the OLYMPUS OM-D has inherited the tradition of a true system SLR from the OM Series. The OLYMPUS OM-D is designed for serious camera buffs who want to make full use of interchangeable lenses and shoot photographic masterpieces by looking into the viewfinder, without having to worry about the weather or environmental conditions. Sand, sun, sleet, or snow, the OLYMPUS OM-D is a camera that's ready to go."
My experience with the Olympus OM-D E5 so far has been nothing short of perfection. It is light, responsive and coupled with the M.ZUIKO Digital 45mm f/1.8 lens is, for me, a perfect photojournalism tool. Some of the photographs featured here taken at the HMS Ardent 30th reunion in Plymouth required that I observed and took images as low key as possible. Not only is this a hugely dignified event but I also had to observe strict protocol rules when photographing the Duchess of Gloucester a member of the British Royal family. The 45mm lens (equivalent to 90mm in 35mm terms) gave me the required distant from my subject to stay in the background. The fast f/1.8 lens coupled with the 16 million pixel Live MOS Four Thirds sensor and TruePic VI image processor gave me the low light capabilities i needed to operate without using flash. Also, as a prime lens, the 45mm lens gave typically very sharp images and at its wide maximum aperture it produces a beautiful shallow depth of field, ideal for portraits and photojournalism when you want to isolate your subject to bring impact to your story telling.
So will this love affair stand the test of time, I think yes. I have used Olympus PEN cameras since purchasing my PEN EP2 in April 2010. The OM-D E5 camera for me is a perfect step-up from a PEN especially the great image quality and its retro appeal. And what of the M.ZUIKO Digital 45mm f/1.8 lens? Well I have a feeling that this lens is going to outlast any changes to my camera bodies over the next few years because it is just perfect for my style of photography and will be my precious for many years to come!

Jack White's second solo album, Lazaretto, is due out on June 10, and in lead up to the release he is featured on the cover of the latest edition of Rolling Stone, where he gives an in depth interview.
In the article, White talks about how Kanye West asked him to collaborate on Yeezus, but nothing ever came of it, and that he did several songs with Jay Z, but they are unfinished and White isn't sure if Jay liked them. White also calls Daft Punk "amazing," and said seeing Kanye West perform during his recent arena tour "might have been the greatest show [he's] seen in [his] life." He went on to say that "it was more punk, more in-your-face than anything I've seen."
Continuing on the topic of concerts, White complained that "people can't clap anymore, because they've got a fucking texting thing in their fucking hand, and probably a drink, too!"

You make me want to go back to Goa and experience it in luxury!! Such a special place. Keep having fun!!!!
Goa, India: Part 2
Trip Start
Mar 04, 2010
Trip End
Jun 01, 2010
Where I stayed
Spending a lot of time poolside topping up tans, reading (Gill: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Ray: The Raj), swimming and general chilling, shaking off that winter feeling.
Most evenings have been spent down at the beach, (which is as gorgeous as everyone says), white sand stretching for miles, lined with palms and all that good stuff. Most evenings spent at a brilliant little place called, The Venus Beach Shack. We've been eating our way through whatever happens to be the catch-of the-day (lobster grilled with garlic butter, tandoori Pomfret, Sea Bass and Tiger Prawns).
We've made a couple of friends that work at the beach shack that have made it really special, Joy & Farook. Whatever we need, Joy's your man – a night out in Margao? – done; bespoke jewellery? – absolutely; fishing trips out to surrounding islands? – no problem; surprise firework for Gill? – consider it done (more to follow in my b'day entry!)
We have noticed that Russia seems to have annexed Goa... with the general tourist population being about 90% Russian... they are everywhere and particularly like spending time at the waterfalls posing on rocks... Shame I didn't pay more attention in Russian class at sixth form...
Despite what you may be thinking, we have actually left the resort and surrounding beach on several occasions. First to the local spice plantation, which was amazing getting to see how peppercorns, vanilla, cardamom and cashews are grown. We also ventured out to Margoa to do some shopping at 'The Big G'...followed by a funny but disastrous meal at 'Nostaligia'. Here, despite our best attempts to try the local foods, after asking for them to cook us up some local specials, we ended up with four platters of deep fried frozen treats, including 'Cheesy fluffs' & "beef" croquettes... not so much, as I like to say. We were also surrounded by some local musicians crooning out a little Lionel Ritchie and Bryan Adams. They do seem to love their 80's & 90's tunes, which I don't mind so much, but Ray gets a little fed up of me chiming in with all the classic ballads... one, twice, three times the lady (you get the picture!)
We've also done some very cultured things, including visiting the Church of St. Frances Assisi, the patron Saint of Animals, where his body is suspended from the ceiling in a part glass tomb... the fact that his body has been kept in such good condition, with no preservation is considered a true miracle by the locals (although Ray suspects preservatives may have in fact of been used ;-)
Photos & details from my birthday celebrations which included elephant showers, waterfalls and fireworks, will follow very soon!

Hello, first time poster long time lurker as they say. Greetings to all. I just purchased an AK100 MK2 (firmware 2.30) a couple weeks ago and have read most of the 539 pages of this thread. After trudging through getting artwork recognized (not always) most everything else has been good save for the same issues others are having with the microsd card locations and the intermittent freeze ups. The odd 500x500.jpg artwork embedded in ripped FLAC files just does not work no matter what I do. Like I said just in a couple, there must be something in the file makeup the device firmware just does not like. I wish there was a list somewhere of file criteria which is necessary for them to display properly (as in tag version info etc). I am using the recommended 32 gig SanDisk class 10 cards and slot-2 (SD2) definitely has issues if you plug the AK100 into your computer. The units Music folder is fine as is the SD1 slot card but the second SD2 card gets corrupted to the point of having to reformat it and reload the music. The only way I can do it is remove the card before attaching it to the computer. If I follow those rules things work fine, I tried a number of variations but that is the only thing that works. To add, I do not even have to access the SD2 card while it's plugged in for it to get corrupted. Hopefully they will address this in an updated firmware, it does make things very clumsy to add music. The one issue I have that one other person mentioned (that I noticed anyway) many pages back was the hard key 'Next Track/Fast Forward' only pauses it does not go to the next track or fast forward. The other keys work as they should, the top key 'Previous Track/Fast Reverse' works and the middle 'Pause' works fine. I can't imagine that I would be the only one that is having this issue. It has to be a firmware problem. Anyone else? Sorry if it was brought up before, if so I couldn't find anything regarding it. I have even re-did the 2.30 firmware but it still is the same. If knowone else has had this problem then the unit must be defective although I can't see that, the keys are software enabled. I wish that worked as I use it will walking and it would be much easier if it did what is was supposed to. Other than these issues I love the fit, finish and leather case all are top notch. Oh yeah and the sound is pretty decent as well ;) Thanks for listening.
I haven't experienced these issues with my modded mk1. I have had some corrupted card issues, but I don't think it is the AK causing it so much as being sensitive to minor issues.
It does sound like there could be some more serious issues at play for yours, but I'll let others comment before I'd recommend returning it for repair.

The present Lopare municipality stretches over the area of 299, bordering municipalities of Ugljevik and Bijeljina in the RS, Teocak, Sapna, Tuzla and Celic in the FBiH, as well as Brcko District. The municipality is located where Mount Majevica transitions into the plains of Semberija and Posavina, and represents the centre of this part of sub-Majevica area. The entire area is characterized by a large number of smaller water flows, while the Gnjica River flows through the town of Lopare. The town of Lopare is located at an average altitude of 235 m above the sea level. Natural resources the municipality disposes witch include agricultural land, forests and stone, while there is also rock salt and coal, to a lesser and unexamined extent.

The length of categorized road network is 204 km2 on the municipal territory, and there are 333 km of uncategorized roads. While the road network is fairly developed, the number of both categorized and uncategorized paved roads is very small.
According to the 1971 census, the population of the Lopare was 33,847.

Three housemates from heaven and two housemates from hell section are in the danger zone this week
Monday calls for nominations inside the Bigg Boss 7 house. Gauhar being the captain of the house was safe from nominations. Since Ratan Rajput was evicted this week, she was given a special power through which she was asked to choose any one housemate who won't be able to cast his/her vote in this week's nominations. Ratan chose Tanishaa, so she was not allowed to cast her vote in the nomination process.
Nomination ki prakriya continued and Bigg Boss asked each jannat-wasi to nominate any two housemates from jahanum-section. Armaan Kohli nominated VJ Andy and Shilpa Agnihotri. Elli Avram nominated Kushal citing his bad performance in the task and Andy because of his language. Pratyusha Banerjee nominated Shilpa and Apurva Agnihotri. Asif Azim nominated Kushal citing his disruptive behavior and Shilpa because Asif was of an opinion that she is playing politics in the house. Kamya nomianted Kushal and Sangram Singh.
Following this, the hell-mates had to nominate two housemates from heaven section. Kushal nominated Tansihaa Mukherji and Pratyusha citing their manipulative nature. Shilpa nominated Tansihaa for the tamashaa which she created during the luxury budget task and, Armaan because of his violent nature which was quite obvious during his fight with Andy. Sangram nominated Tanishaa and Pratyusha citing their fake and manipulative nature respectively. Apurva and Andy nominated Tanishaa and Armaan.
Bigg Boss announced that on the basis of the votes cast by the housemates, Kushal, Shilpa, Andy, Tanishaa and Armaan are in danger zone this week. But wait, the nomination process has not come to an end yet. After all, nominations inside the Bigg Boss house without a major twist is like Kushal without Gauhar, no? Ha ha.
Gauhar being the captain of the house was given a special privilege. She could save any one person from the danger zone but someone who is already safe has to fill in that position and in turn enter the danger zone. So Gauhar saves her love Kushal from the danger zone and Kamya filled in Kushal's position.
The nomination process came to an end and Armaan, Tanishaa, Shilpa, Andy and Kamya were nominated this week.

MidnightBSD and MirOS teams could cooperate. Both include talented people who could combine their forces instead of splitting resources. They both try to create a BSD OS using different ideas. Their vies are complementary and so instead of wasting time they could both focus on the same thing as allies.

KIAC Tournament Finals: #1 Point Park vs. #3 Asbury (Ky.) -- Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. ET WATCH LIVE / LISTEN LIVE
NEW ALBANY, Ind. – No. 1 seed Point Park University set a team-record for wins in a season and advanced to the KIAC Tournament Finals with Monday night's 76-51 win over No. 5 seed IU Southeast in the conference semifinals at IU Southeast.
Point Park (24-6, 11-4 KIAC) will meet No. 3 seed Asbury (Ky.) (23-9, 10-5 KIAC) in the KIAC Tournament Finals on Tue., Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. at New Albany, Ind. (at IU Southeast).
Asbury was a 74-73 winner over No. 2 seed Alice Lloyd (Ky.) in the other semifinal on Monday. Point Park beat Asbury at home, 63-56, on Dec. 18 and lost at Asbury, 83-75, on Jan. 5. The KIAC Tournament champion will qualify for the NAIA Division II National Championship March 6-12 in Sioux City, Iowa, as the conference's automatic bid.
April Austin had 23 points, six rebounds and seven assists to lead Point Park back from a small deficit of 37-36 at the half versus IU Southeast (17-13, 8-7 KIAC).
Ja'Nia McPhatter added 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Emily Schartner totaled 13 points, eight rebounds and two 3-pointers.
Point Park's Katresa Savisky had eight points and a team-high 12 rebounds as she and Teresa Davis (6 pts) led the Pioneers' defensive effort. Davis held IU Southeast's Heather Wheat (20.3 ppg) to four points on 1 for 12 field goals.
Ashmere Woods led IU Southeast with 14 points, and Andrea Owen scored all 11 of her points the first half. Owen was 3 for 3 from long range the first half to lead the Grenadiers back from a 27-16 deficit midway through the first half.
But Point Park turned on the defense the second half and kept its offense clicking to win going away. IU Southeast was shooting 46 percent at the half but ended up shooting only 32 percent for the game. That's because IU Southeast was held to 17-percent shooting overall (4 for 23) and 1-for-11 shooting from long range the final 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, Point Park made 14 of 28 second-half field goals (50 percent) to extend the lead to above 20 points. Savisky made a layup for a 47-37 lead early in the second half, and the Pioneers never looked back. By the time McPhatter scored inside with 12:24 left, Point Park was up, 54-40.
Point Park shot 43 percent and took advantage of 22 IU Southeast turnovers to rack up 27 points off turnovers. The Pioneers dominated the boards, 44-29, and that resulted in a 14-1 advantage in second-chance points.
Point Park won all three meetings over IU Southeast this year. The Pioneers won at IU Southeast, 74-69 (2OT) Nov. 30 and also beat the Grenadiers at home, 63-56, on Dec. 29.
WATCH LIVE the KIAC Tournament Finals on tournament host IU Southeast's iHigh.com site. Log on to www.iHigh.com/IUSathletics for all the action. LISTEN LIVE to the Point Park broadcast on WPPJradio.com and MSAsports.net. LIVE STATS will be provided by IU Southeast via Dakstats.

Home from Home - Chronicle of a Vision (Die andere Heimat - Chronik einer Sehnsucht)
Jan Dieter Schneider, Antonia Bill, Maximilian Scheidt, Marita Breuer / Fiction / German
The epic story of a village on the brink of modernity In this dazzling continuation of his acclaimed Heimat trilogy, Edgar Reitz returns again to Schabbach, where the three earlier works were set. The film tells the story of an inveterate dreamer, his more practical older brother and the beautiful woman who must choose between them, evoking the idealism and the longing for adventure and freedom that drove thousands of Germans from their rural homes to distant South America in the mid-19th century.

The film has been widely acclaimed in the European press ever since it's first showing (out of competition) at the Venice Biennale last summer.
What on earth are you thinking of, announcing it with so little emphasis, and tucking it away on Wester Hailes Road on the fringes of the city?? (The only possible justification could be nearness to the Airport, but really that does not explain it. ) -
/ Wednesday 28 May, 2014 / 19:36 GMTLike Angela Skrimshire (above) I was also very disappointed at the lack of a Filmhouse 'red carpet' type treatment for the new (and possibly final) Heimat film; you couldn't even manage to squeeze in a still from the movie in your booklet; it was only because I had heard that it was coming (via the internet, not from any announcement from Edinburgh) that I succeeded in locating it in the programme (a search on the keyword 'heimat' didn't find it). Certainly not worth travelling up from London to watch it and brave the popcorn at a local Odeon. I hope the BFI shows a bit more respect for Edgar Reitz at the London Film Festival than he is getting in the Scottish capital. -
/ Wednesday 28 May, 2014 / 23:05 GMTI now see that the list of venues has just been corrected, and the page for the Odeon in Wester Hailes replaced by one for the Odeon in Lothian Road! ... which sounds rather better... and maybe has the especially wide screen required for Die Andere Heimat....
But the publicity for the film is still oddly low key, when compared with that for films you are 'featuring' elsewhere on your site ...
eg the 1988 German thriller Die Katze, showing at the same time at the Filmhouse - which (by coincidence stars Gudrun Landgrebe, the unforgettable 'Klärchen' of the first part of Reitz' 'Heimat' Trilogy...)
/ Thursday 29 May, 2014 / 10:10 GMTThat is good news Angela. Just in case the organizers of the festival are still in doubt about the stature and importance of this film, they can read the Guardian review from last year: (" British fans flock to the village of Woppenroth where the series was filmed, and scriptwriter Peter Moffatt openly admitted he wanted to create "a British Heimat" with the BBC's recent The Village.") http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/01/die-andere-heimat-film-edgar-reitz -
/ Monday 2 June, 2014 / 10:03 GMTThe Edinburgh Film Guild and the Goethe-Institut Glasgow are presenting screenings of 'Heimat - A German Chronicle' at the Edinburgh Film Guild (located in Filmhouse). Screenings start this week and tickets are £10: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/701231
/ Thursday 5 June, 2014 / 14:42 GMTThis is the best HEIMAT since the first. I saw it in Venice last year, it is an absolutely magnificent film and I'm really looking forward to seeing it again. I would say it is the highlight of the whole festival, hope that the festival can recognise that. -

Thank you to everybody who commented about this film. I was in two minds about going to see it. I remember seeing the original Heimat on TV and being very impressed by it. I wondered if I had the stamina to sit through a 4 hour movie.
Am I glad that on the basis of what people wrote I did go and see it. The film is magnificent. Shot in black and white, with occasional splashes of colour it is a visual treat. It may well turn up on TV , but it really needs to be watched on the big screen. It used sound very well. It reminded me at times of Olmi's movie from the 70s " The Tree of the Wooden Clogs" in it's representation of peasant life and the sense of the rhythm of of the seasons .
This is what is great about film festivals . You get a chance to see movies that will struggle to get a showing. Thank you to the EIFf for putting it on.

The loss was a heartbreaker for the Lions, who led on two different occasions before watching the Hornets come from behind to snag a crucial conference victory.
The two teams battled to a 6-6 halftime stalemate before Manila grabbed the lead with a touchdown midway through the third period. Lion quarterback Sam Hubbard sprinted 40 yards for the go-ahead score at the 5:41 mark, but Manila failed to convert the two point play, leaving the Lions with a 12-6 lead.
The Hornets quickly answered on their next possession when Hubbard's counterpart, Marcus Smith, connected with freshman wide receiver Brandon Mross on a 71-yard touchdown pass to tie the score at 12-12 with 4:49 left in the third period. Smith's two point conversion pass fell incomplete.

The game remained tied heading into the fourth period before Harrisburg took the lead for good. Smith drove the Hornets 65 yards for the winning score. The drive started with another Smith to Mross completion, this time for 30 yards down to the Lion 35 yard line. Smith raced 34 yards one play later, setting up the Hornets with a first and goal at the Lion one. The freshman quarterback sneaked in for what proved to be the winning touchdown with 3:22 left in the game.
The game appeared to be over when Harrisburg's Hunter McCann jumped on a Jordan Brewer fumble at the Manila 44 yard line, but instead of keeping the ball on the ground and running the clock out, the Hornets got greedy. After a four yard run by Smith, Harrisburg threw three straight incomplete passes, stopping the clock each time before turning the ball over to the Lions with 1:40 left in the game at the Manila 39.
Hubbard started the Lion's final comeback attempt with a 16-yard pass to Zach Reinhart, giving Manila a first down in Hornet territory at the 45 yard line. Hubbard hooked up with Dylan Bogle for a 13-yard completion on the Lion's next play, before completing back-to-back passes to Brewer and Reinhart, giving Manila a first down at the Harrisburg 15 with just under 1:00 to play. A one yard loss on a rushing attempt brought up a second and 11. With the Lions out of time-outs, Hubbard quickly spiked the ball to stop the clock with 41 seconds remaining in the game. But on Manila's next play, Hubbard's pass was picked off by Smith, who seemed to be everywhere throughout the game, ending the Lion's last chance for victory.
Manila took the lead in the first quarter when Reinhart intercepted Smith and rambled 30 yards into the end zone for a 6-0 lead at the 2:06 mark. Harrisburg came right back, driving 53 yards in seven plays, all by Smith, who tied the game with a one-yard touchdown run on the second play of the second quarter. The two point conversion attempt failed.
Smith was a one man wrecking crew for the Hornets, finishing with 61 yards on eight carries and two touchdowns, while completing 11 passes for another 146 yards and a score. Smith accounted for all 204 of Harrisburg's total yards in the game. Mross caught five passes for 110 yards and a touchdown while Beau Adams snared five passes for 33 yards.
Hubbard led Manila with 79 yards on seven carries and a touchdown, while completing five of 10 passes for 51 yards. Brewer finished the night with 17 carries for 49 yards as the Lions gained 189 yards of total offense on the night. Reinhart led all Lion receivers with three receptions for 50 yards. Bogle caught two passes for 18 yards while Brewer caught one pass for two yards. Bogle completed his only pass attempt of the game for 19 yards.
"It was a night of missed opportunities," said Lion Coach Jason Durham. "We got the ball into the red zone several times and just couldn't punch it in. We have to be physical enough to punch the ball in the end zone. We had several bad snaps that cost us yardage and stopped drives. We knew what Harrisburg was going to do, and that was throw the ball. They didn't run one play between the tackles all night. We just didn't execute. They got three touchdowns but we should have had five or six ourselves."
"I thought Sam Hubbard had an excellent game tonight. For an eighth grader that's new to our system, we couldn't have asked for a much better performance from him. We'll just have to work on some things and get better for next week," concluded Durham.
Manila will play host to Cave City in conference action Thursday night. Kickoff is 7 p.m.

Goodell Must Be Good … Morning Cup O'Chiefs
Will NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell be smiling or grim faced this week as league owners meet to discuss negotiations with the players?
Back on March 10, Roger Goodell earned approximately $10 million a year as Commissioner of the National Football League. Bonuses were extra.
When the owners' locked out the players on March 11, Goodell's salary dropped to $1, with no bonus plan.
Whether the Commish and his skills are worth that $10 million paycheck, or one buck will be seen in the next 48 to 72 hours as the league owners head to Chicago for a meeting tomorrow that will have a big effect on whether we have NFL football in July, August, September, or not at all.
Pete Rozelle, Paul Tagliabue, Roger Goodell, all the men who held the position as NFL Commissioner over the last 50 years have tried to sell the fact that they are the representative for the entire game. Of course, they are not – they are an employee of the NFL owners. They are the men who decide who they'll hire, how much he's paid and how much power he actually has.
Since he took over from Tagliabue in 2006, Goodell has shown that he appears to have both hands on the NFL wheel. His willingness to go after the off-field behavior of players has drawn some criticism – the concept of innocent until proven guilty comes to mind – but the owners have loved the moves. It has been a PR victory and owners like those sorts of things. They pay off in big measure in many different areas of the business, plus it takes the pressure off the individual teams to always handle discipline for players.
But the success of a commissioner – any commissioner – really depends on only three factors:
- Increase revenue.
- Keep the U.S. government out of the business.
- Limit labor costs, specifically involving players and coaches.
Item No. 3 is where Goodell stands as the owners fly their private jets into Chicago for Tuesday's meeting. They've been told to bring their jammies because the meeting may slide into Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. There is much to be discussed and the agenda has just one item – the players and the negotiating process.
Those not-so-secret secret meetings between Goodell and a handful of owners and the players have produced movement on a labor agreement. The calendar is ticking for both sides; the goal for both is to get training camps open on time, the pre-season played without deletions and the regular-season kickoff to go down as scheduled in early September.
Progress made in a hotel meeting room with the players does not guarantee progress in getting a deal done in a hotel meeting room with the owners. This is where Goodell's skills will be tested.
Handling the NFL owners is a bit like trying to herd cats. All 32 teams may arrive together, but it's only a matter of time before some of them begin to stray off from the pack. All it takes is nine of those cats to jump off the reservation and wander away and a deal cannot go down; any agreement must be approved by 75 percent of the owners, or 24 teams.
What's made the NFL so great over the years is the success of the league and the business of football with so many diverse ownership situations. These are men from many different backgrounds, who acquired their money in many different ways. They can be broken down into several groups:
HEIRLOOMS, or teams that do not have a big monthly nut to pay, having bought their teams long ago – Bears, Bengals, Bills, Cardinals, Chiefs, Colts, 49ers, Giants, Lions, Packers, Steelers, Titans.
A PLANET ALL THEIR OWN, or a team that struggling financially and really should not be – Raiders.
INVESTED RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PLACE, or ownership that got in during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s when credit was cheap and equity grew by double digits on a year basis – Broncos, Browns, Chargers, Eagles, Falcons, Panthers, Ravens, Saints, Seahawks, Texans, Jets
INVESTED RIGHT TIME, WRONG PLACE, good idea but a bad market that has never paid off for ownership – Jaguars.
OVER-EXTENDED NEW GUARD, teams that have been recently acquired, or have gone into major hock to make stadiums happen or own teams in others sports and other countries – Buccaneers, Cowboys, Dolphins, Rams, Redskins, Vikings.
The Bears and Lions have nothing in common with the Cowboys and Redskins. The goals of the Vikings are not the same as the Eagles. The Raiders? Who knows?
Here's where Goodell has to show his talents. He's been called a politician due to his background as the son of a former U.S. Senator. Now is when he must be at his best. Again, whatever progress that's been made with the players means nothing until the men in that room buy into the proposals.
That's not going to easily happen. There are owners that want to crush the players association – their No. 1 goal is to neuter the NFLPA. They don't want the players as partners. Any give to labor without some sort of big return is not going to be met with open arms.
One of the prime problems the NFL has faced in recent years has been the alteration of the level playing field between the 32 teams. New stadiums, new revenue streams and more aggressive marketing by some teams has sent their income spiraling higher and higher. The base income for the teams coming from television and gate receipts remains the same. The extras have started creating a land of haves and have nots. In the framework of what they pay the players, that internal problem must also be addressed by ownership.
There's a lot of moving parts here and it's Goodell's job to make sure there are no gnashing of gears. He will have to strong arm some owners, rub others on the neck and tell them it will be OK. He will have to cajole, threaten, deal and just about any other adjective you might want to use.
Right now, nothing else that he's done in his five years on the job matters. He needs to make 24 owners willing to vote yes, and he needs to find a way to make it palatable for those eight others to live within the next decade.
Goodell stumbled a bit coming out of the gate with this owners' lockout. But his willingness to cross the line and build a relationship with the players and especially NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, has helped push the process down the road and created a positive atmosphere.
But whether it stays optimistic depends on the job Roger Goodell does this week. This is when he makes his bones as NFL Commissioner.

Its truly getting very difficult to have empathy or to feel sorry for either side at this point. I think the GREED FACTOR is getting the better of both sides at this point. I can't help but think what will the quality of football be like if they don't settle this real quick. Probably lots of INJURIES and lots of SLOPPY FOOTBALL would be my guess. I'm still very DISSAPOINTED IN CLARK after seeing BOB'S CHART of just how little he spent towards the salary cap the last 5 years.
June 20, 2011 - RW says:
The owners have to make up their minds on the authority they want their commissioner to have. Do they want him to continue in his present role as a floor walking manager or do they want the face of the league to be a CEO?
Then too, Goodell has to come to grips with the basic notion that power is not granted to anyone, power is something you simply TAKE. Goodell's performance during this labor war has been abysmal thus far.
In order to save the owners and the league from themselves, Goodell's opportunity is right now. If he's unable to rise to the occasion, take charge, mandate a solution and drag all the maverick owners kicking and screaming to the final resolution, then the impasse continues and further threatens us having a 2011 season.
The cartoon character Pogo once stated, "We have met the enemy and he is us". NFL owners, take note.
June 20, 2011 - Tom says:
How does greed even enter into the players side of things. I have read quite a bit about this disagreement and it seems the basis is that the owners want to reduce the amount of pie they share with the players. The owners get tax payers to build them stadiums and then fill those stadiums. They get the players to sacrifice their bodies and in return they want to pay them less next year than they did last year. How is defending the pay that you have rightfully earned greedy in any sence. Yes these guys are highly paid, but they can do something few can. The owners are equally highly paid, and there is a line of people that would love to own NFL teams but arent allowed. Who is over paid. Greedy exclusive owners. This whole thing is a non issue with the Chiefs anyway. Clark Hunt uis far to cheap to over pay. This franchise has moved in a very positive direction under the new regime. But Cheap Hunt wil wreck the thing. Eventually Pioli and Haley will be sought after commodities and they will go somewhere wher the ownership wants to win not play cheap with kids.
The youth movement has been positive for the Chiefs, but eventually in order to get over the hump we will either have to over pay to keep someone (HAli) or over pay to bring in a vet to fill a dire need to win a championship. Hey Cheap Hunt, sell the team and go play soccer. Good enough isnt good enough anymore. -
June 20, 2011 - R Helm says:
I can understand why the Chiefs have been so far under the salary cap in recent years, you dont pay top dollar for average or below average players. But things are changing under Pioli and Haley. If Hunt doesn't open his purse strings and move at least into the middle of the pack,players will quit wanting to play for the Chiefs, and if we cant get quality players we wont get quality coaches and management. Hunt already has a major stike against him in that he doesn't understand the concept of loyalty being a two way process. Chief employees and coaches are loyal now because Hunt holds the check book. But when things get back on track all of these Coaches and employees are going to remember how there pay was cut, and at the first better opportunity are going to move on. Pay your damn employees &*%^&*.
June 20, 2011 - Mark says:
This is, and always has been an owners vs owners scenario. The players are just caught in the middle. It's up to the rational owners to convince the GREEDY ones that the good of the league is paramount, and that revenue sharing must be far more encompassing then it is, to avoid a have vs have not situation that no one wants, least of all the players side. Decades ago, Lamar and Wellington Mara were able to convince their brethern, hopefully there will be owners now that can do so.

Brief Synopsis
Two Russians fight to escape the seven Nazi soldiers trapped with them in a bombed building.
In 1942, in German-occupied Russia, Russian engineers work under cover of darkness to build a bridge beneath a river facing German lines, over which Russian tanks plan to launch a counter-attack. In preparation for the attack, a group of Baltic paratroopers are assigned to penetrate enemy lines and ascertain the position of enemy reserves. At headquarters, the troopers meet Kostyuk, the commander of the operation, and marvel as he shrewdly interrogates a German prisoner. After Kostyuk introduces them to their guide, Lisa Elenko, the soldiers parachute into a factory near Lubovonov, which the Germans are using as divisional headquarters. The Russians capture their objective, but in the raid, the factory is severly bombed and collapses. In its subterranean cellar, only Lisa, Alexei Kulkov, one of the paratroopers, and seven German soldiers survive. After taking the Germans prisoner, Alexei finds a German officer's revolver among their possessions and determines to unmask the officer hiding among the enlisted men. Above ground, in the ruins, Alexei's dog claws at the rubble while the sole surviving Russian taps a message to those below. When Alexei responds in code and instructs the Russian to report that a German officer has been captured, the Germans scoff at Alexei's claim until he silences them by showing them the revolver. As Alexei interrogates the Germans, the dog and the Russian steal through the night across enemy lines. When the Russian is killed by German bullets, Alexei's dog continues his trek to headquarters. Meanwhile, in the cellar, Alexei questions Mueller, a professor in civilian life, who begins to rant about an anti-German book that he has written. When Alexei becomes mesmerized by Mueller's diatribe, the Germans attack. Although Lisa and Alexei fend off their attackers, Lisa is stabbed in the assault. In retaliation, Alexei announces that he intends to kill the Germans, one by one, until he finds their commander. After ordering the sergeant behind a wall, Alexei knocks him out and then fires his gun, causing the Germans to believe that he has killed him. As Alexei confronts his next victim, the man defiantly proclaims that he is Major Ernemann. When the sound of tanks rumble above ground, the major taunts Alexei with images of imminent defeat and suggests that if he is so certain of Russian victory, he should have no qualms about exchanging invasion plans. Alexei, determined to elicit the location of the concentration of German forces, offers to trade information with the major. After the major pinpoints the site of the German tank division, Alexei shows him the Russian crossing point in the river. In exchange for the name of the village in which the German troops are to assemble, Alexei tells the major about the underwater bridge. Lisa, shocked by Alexei's revelation, urges him to kill the Germans before they can use the information. Alexei rejects Lisa's advice, claiming that he must first ascertain whether the major has told the truth. As the bridge nears completion, Alexei's dog reaches headquarters and then leads the troops across the bridge to his trapped master. Meanwhile, in the cellar, Alexei pretends to fall asleep and one of the Germans awakens him and offers to be his ally. Alexei then hands the German a rifle and drifts off to sleep. Later he is awakened by the sound of digging. When the major charges toward their rescuers, shouting the Russian plan of attack, Alexei shoots him. Thinking that the German army is breaking into the cellar, Alexei is about to pull the pin in his grenade when he sees his dog and the Russian army burst through the rubble. After Lisa is carried out on a stretcher, Alexei turns over his prisoners and reports the details of the German invasion plan. Taking the rifle from the German's hands, Alexei reveals that it holds no bullets and then collapses from fatigue.

This style is reminiscent of East Indian style batik art and fabric prints. The graceful swimming fish and flying birds, elegantly drawn in line art, and the line drawn wave and cloud motifs, fill this style with imagery and color. The fish and bird art covers much of the surface area, and the fonts fill in the remaining spaces. The main font is a fanciful, decorative sans serif, but the ornate styling suggests the intricacies of a serif face. Colors are solid printed line art and fonts, on an unprinted surface.

It seems everywhere I turn women are popping out babies left and right. Within the last year at least five of my close friends have become preggers, not to mention Hollywood's latest race to morph the baby bump into the next big gotta-have-it fad. Still, a new Census Bureau report, "Fertility of American Women: 2006," found that 20 percent of American women age 40-44 are childless (twice that of 1976), and those who do have children are having fewer.
Though the report identified other trends concerning women's fertility in America, I'm stuck on the idea that choosing not to become a parent is becoming an increasingly accepted and viable option in a family-friendly culture. Sure, clusters of my friends are incubating fetuses. I also have just as many friends who have not joined the baby brigade – and are on the fence or simply have no plans to.
Speaking for myself, I'm 31 and have yet to bless the world with my spawn – but that's not to say it isn't in my cards. I'm amazed by the power of biology, which seems to have bestowed upon me baby-colored spectacles.
It's taken years of fence sitting to get my uterus and brain on the same page. Many of my friends seemed resolute to become mothers, and so often I felt as if something were wrong with me for not having such a staunch desire. The fear of losing my sense of self and freedom cast long shadows over any maternal instincts I might've harbored. The thought of childbirth terrified me, and to this day I think of "baby" only in the singular.
Luckily, I don't feel alone. Google "childfree" and you'll see it: a counter culture of men and women opting out of the parenting biz. The childfree movement began in the early 1970's and continues to gain momentum today with an online presence, such as Childfree by Choice and Happily Childfree and Childfree.net describes its community as such:
"We choose to call ourselves 'childfree' rather than 'childless,' because we feel the term 'childless' implies that we're missing something we want - and we aren't. We consider ourselves childFREE - free of the loss of personal freedom, money, time and energy that having children requires."
Upon reading this I thought, "How empowering, right on!" I was in the warm haze of my idealist naiveté when I came across Happily Childfree's list of childfree lingo, which introduced me to a bevy of terms like "babies rabies," "breeder," "cunts n' runts," "fuctuplets," "lil' sizzlers," "mombie," "placenta brain," "tit Nazi" and "wannabreeder."
Placenta brain? Really?? Ouch. So it's not quite the utopia I envisioned. As seen in countless social movements, this sort of behavior emerges in response to the underdog's experience of the dominant culture's judgment. It gets volleyed back and forth between counter culture and dominant culture, with no real positive outcome.
All of this aside, the need on both sides of the fence is unifying and utterly human: to be validated, respected and accepted for one's personal choices – in this case to be a parent or be childfree. Whatever the case, to be a woman living in a time and place where we can even have such an dialog – and act on it – is very cool to say the least.
