Starting at | Starting at 17 MPG City - 27 MPG Highway
The long-wheelbase version of the A8, the A8L, is now slightly longer than the BMW 7-Series, Lexus LS or Mercedes-Benz S-Class, bringing an exceptionally roomy interior. The A8 still manages to feel more nimble and responsive than would ever be expected for such a large vehicle. With its new, stronger powertrain, the A8 not only performs better but achieves EPA highway rating of 27 mpg--near the head of the pack among large luxury sedans. A number of other tech features, such as the industry-first full LED headlamps and the next-generation touchpad MMI interface inside, are market standouts.
Audi's flagship A8 large luxury sedan is all-new for 2011, with new engines, a slightly longer cabin for more interior space, more options for traditional luxury-car comfort, and of course various technological advances--including a stiffer, lightweight body; reduced fuel consumption; a reconfigured, more performance-oriented version of quattro all-wheel drive. Several new driver-safety systems such as night vision and automatic emergency braking have been included for 2011.
A direct-injected 4.2L V8 engine making 372 horsepower and 328 pound-feet of torque is standard on A8 and S8L models. The A8L W12 FSI, to be available later in the model year, gets a direct-injected, 450-hp, 6.3-liter W12 engine. The A8 can get to 62 mph in 5.7 seconds, while the A8L W12 takes just 4.9 seconds. All A8 models come with quattro all-wheel drive, which is calibrated to feel sporty and enhance cornering confidence yet also take on slippery road conditions. The system can send 60 percent of torque to the rear wheels during normal driving, or more to whichever wheels have the best traction.

Gender of my kitten? Picture included!
Hi there!
I simply want to know if my kitten is a male or female. I don't have any other kittens to compare my kitten to since I only have one and he/she was a stray. (Not to worry, my fur baby is doing just fine :) )
I apologize for the dirty anus, but the link below has a picture of my kitten's genitals.
I'm no cat expert, but based on pictures I have seen online, my kitten looks like a boy.
This is a picture of my cutie's face (not that it will help determine the gender very much, but it puts a face with the... parts. Haha).
I originally named my kitten "Mika", a Japanese female name meaning perfume or scent, but if she's actually a boy, I will obviously need a name change.
Thank you for reading! Have a wonderful day.

Drake lashed out at Rolling Stone after the magazine replaced him on the cover with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman and quoted the rapper criticizing some of Kanye West's lyrics.
In a series of tweets on Thursday, the Grammy-winner vented his frustrations and said he was "done doing interviews with magazines."
"I just want to give my music to the people," he wrote. "That's the only way my message gets across accurately."
Other Thursday tweets from the 27-year-old were deleted, including one about his discomfort with Hoffman gracing the cover of Rolling Stone.
"They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue. ... I'm disgusted with that. RIP to Phillip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil," he tweeted.
In the interview, Drake talks about growing up as a biracial child in Canada, meeting his mentor Lil Wayne and launching a successful career in pop and rap.
Drake also discussed not attending last month's Grammy Awards, where he lost three rap trophies to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, including best rap album, which Drake won last year. Macklemore & Lewis also beat Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z and Kanye West in the latter category.
Macklemore sent a text to Lamar — and posted the message online — after the awards show, telling Lamar he felt that he had robbed him by winning best rap album.
"I was like, 'You won. Why are you posting your text messages? Just chill. Take your W, and if you feel you didn't deserve it, go get better — make better music,'" Drake said in the interview.
Drake also tweeted Thursday that he never spoke of West's "Yeezus" album during the interview. Rolling Stone quotes Drake calling some of West's lyrics "questionable," along with him saying he "loves" the outspoken rapper.
"I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone," he tweeted.
Rolling Stone said in a statement to The Associated Press that "we stand by our reporting."
A representative for Drake didn't immediately return an email seeking comment.
The new issue of Rolling Stone hits newsstands Friday.

I was instantly charmed when I read that Chef Timothy Cottini personally reached out to Grub Street with the earnest request to check out his Lincoln Square restaurant, Fork. Grub Street did check it out, and they found a former Lettuce Entertain You chef doing high quality farm-to-table food in an unassuming neighborhood joint. So after I took one glance at the dessert menu and saw Sticky Toffee Pudding, you can probably imagine what happened next. It started with an email and ended with a whole lotta sugar and butter. In my happy tummy.
I've been a big sticky toffee pudding fan ever since Haagen-Dazs put out a limited edition flavor during my freshman year of college. That ice cream contributed at least 5 pounds to my Freshman 15 and remains in my Top 3 Favorite Ice Cream Flavors of All Time. Fork's rendition is triple-bathed in a rich, caramelly toffee sauce and also features a unique and astoundingly complementary porter ice cream. The recipe was developed by one of Fork's co-owners, Paula Byers, when she made it for friends and family over the holidays, and Chef Cottini was not only kind enough to walk me through the recipe but also willing to share it here!
Click through the slideshow for some gooey pudding action and you might find yourself paying a little more attention to Fork the next time you're in Lincoln Square.

What Benefits Can You Get From Prepaid Debit Cards?
Folks who shy far from having a credit card choose to use the pay as you go debit card rather. In the U.S., this kind of card is probably utilized by those within the low income bracket.
With the high prices involved in making use of a credit card, it is comprehensible that persons no longer earning sufficient including these without a bank bills would motel to the prepaid debit card. Knowledge from study corporation Aite workforce revealed that roughly 70 percent of persons making use of the prepaid playing cards are these earning beneath $45,000.
This card has its advantages. For one thing, it's convenient to use considering men and women have fast entry to their money and they may be able to use it to buy online or by way of digital kiosks. Secondly, a consumer does now not need to provide too many private knowledge. Additionally, the proprietor of this card does no longer have to consult with any bank branch. People who find themselves now not creditworthy additionally advantage from this. The other knowledge is that users be taught learn how to funds because they ought to spend simplest within the amount that they've loaded on the card.
This card can be necessary to those who are receiving disability, unemployment, social protection, veterans' aid and different govt benefits on a normal foundation. Because the U.S. Government is ready to segment out using tests with the aid of 2013, men and women receiving benefits have two choices. They are able to open a bank account or use a prepaid card. The second option is regarded to be extra easy above all for the aged.
The pay as you go debit playing cards are ordinarily desired by way of humans who wouldn't have or who want to avoid financial institution accounts. Currently, reviews say that greater than 10 million households in the U.S. Use this form of card. It is usually expected that the quantity loaded into these cards will broaden to $288 billion by way of 2014 from only $41 billion in 2008.
Unlike using a credit card which includes a couple of prices from the ATM use, cash advances to finance bills and interests, the costs for the pay as you go are very minimal. The activation fee can best be around $10 plus the month-to-month fee can most effective be $9 at the same time the rate for utilizing an ATM for withdrawing money is at best around $2.50.

The accelerated prices, however, are not expected to be implemented immediately. Authorities say there is still a lot of work worried when making the changes together with the coding to distinguish the debit playing cards from the opposite varieties of card. Until then, users can nonetheless prefer whether or not or to not proceed utilizing what they have or open a bank account whatever the prices concerned.
Personal Loans for Bad Credit: Why Payday Loans Are a Viable Option
The task of finding the necessary funds to help clear financial problems is complicated by the fact that some lenders still take a close look at credit histories. This is no good when the situation is an emergency, so as personal loans for bad credit go, a payday loan is not a bad option.
There are great advantages to fast loan approval, and accessing the required cash quickly, but it is important that the consequences of all loan agreements are known before signing up to anything. All personal loans have terms and conditions that affect the affordability of the loan, so it is essential that the terms of a payday loan are carefully considered.
What Are Payday Loans?
As the name suggests, a payday loan is an unsecured loan that is granted on the back of an upcoming paycheck. This means that the loan is paid back in one sum on the very next pay day. This might seem like an ideal solution to getting personal loans for bad credit, and they are certainly useful. But there are conditions that need to be considered before applying.
On the positive side, because these loans are approved with the paycheck in mind, the lenders are not interested in your credit history. This means that whether an applicant has a bad credit score or a terrible one, they can still get the loan if their income is enough. What is more, fast loan approval is assured because there is no time wasted checking on a credit history.
However, the loan limit is small, usually no more than $1,500 and the interest rate is very high. Married to the fact that this personal loan must be repaid in 30 days, it means that a payday loan can be very expensive.
Making a Payday Loan Work
So, if it so expensive, what use is a payday loan? Well, they are particularly useful in financial emergencies, when raising money fast is more important than how much interest is repaid. In that way, it is a perfect personal loan for bad credit management, with small debts repaid one at a time. The only issue is the repayment of the loan.
Because of the fast loan approval service that is offered, an applicant can get the green light within an hour and the cash deposited into their bank account by the end of the day. It means that within 24 hours the whole problem can be dealt with. So, a final notice on a mortgage payment or an outstanding credit card debt can be looked after.
What is essential is that the personal loan is less than the income due to arrive. A $1,500 loan at 30% interest requires a single repayment sum of $1,950, which will be taken directly out of the bank account. If the paycheck is only for $2,500, however, this creates a major problem in meeting general monthly obligations.
Finding the Right Lender
The best place to find payday loan providers is online. This is because the lenders there are experts in providing personal loans for bad credit management, offering the lowest interest rates in the market, and best repayment terms. However, always be sure to check out the reputation of online lenders with the Better Business Bureau website before agreeing to anything.
While fast loan approval is a great positive, and the no credit check approval process, the most important details are to be found in the small print. A payday loan is expensive, but missing that single repayment will be met with serious consequences. It may be worth exploring other personal loan options to find the most suitable loan deal.
Making Mortgages Work to Your Financial Advantage
Being a home-owner is a massive mission. As a homeowner, you are accountable for mortgage payments, property taxes, protection on the house, and the outside protection as good. They may be all most important tasks but the one responsibility that is the important, and with the intention to have an effect on your capacity to handle the duties listed above, is opting for an low-priced loan mortgage; the key to that's recognize what your financing choices are and how you can use these choices to your competencies. Three steps is all it takes.
The first step in using your financing choices to your expertise is to buy around for up to three mortgage lenders-whether or not they're brokerage organizations or financial institution-direct lenders-to foster the financing of your personal loan. Find companies / mortgage consultants which can be sufferer, inclined to answer your questions immediately and that show up to definitely care about serving to you discover a good mortgage loan. Do not move ahead with the 2d step unless this is finished.
The 2d step is to order your credit score experiences from Transunion, Equifax, and Experian. The goal here is modest: To find out your credit standing before you have got a loan guide make an professional inquiry.

At any time when you require some type of asset or business equipments for the smooth strolling of your corporation you've got two choices earlier than you. Both that you would be able to make an outright buy or that you could rent buy the desired asset. It is up you to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of both the choices and then come to a decision. You probably have the required amount of cash to be had with then you definately you may prefer the outright buy of the asset. This will provide you with the whole ownership of the asset. Nonetheless, the obstacle of constructing an outright purchase is that you may need to face the money waft problems. This option is first-class should you have to own the asset.
The Finance manufacturer Purchases the Asset for your Behalf:
On the opposite, while you decide on the alternative of hire buy or leasing the asset, you get the benefit of utilizing it for a exact period against the standard repayments. In other words, we will say that you simply most effective need to prefer the asset required for the trade and go away rest of the job on the finance organization you've chosen. It's now the responsibility of the finance corporation to buy that asset for your behalf and furnish it to you for utilising it as much as a fixed interval. Nonetheless, the onus of retaining the asset is on you when you select the alternative of rent purchase or leasing.
So, the right way to finance your asset? Make an outright buy or go for hire buy or leasing alternative? The reply depends upon the provision of the capital and the money flow. By means of picking the alternative of leasing, you get the facility of paying the cost of the asset in ordinary installments. Via paying smaller quantities after regular intervals, which you can manipulate the money waft of your corporation in a greater manner.

Debits and Credits – What the Heck Are They?
Lengthy in the past, after proudly surviving my first formal accounting classes, I was confronted with the aid of a CPA pal of mine (Tom k.) with a intellect numbing quiz. If you're so intelligent Mr. Tim, then inform me, what is a debit and what is a credit?
I proceeded to launch into a snapshot excellent and lengthy explanation of debits and credits. Once I in the end finished my erudite spontaneous pontification on "debits and credit", Tom loudly chided me, announcing "FLUNK – debits on the left, credits on the proper".
Don't forget that one – I certain did.
DEBITS ON THE LEFT – credit ON THE proper
That's it – very simple truely; debits on the left, credit on the right.
In modern-day double entry bookkeeping procedure, instead of making use of one column for each account and coming into one number as constructive and the other as negative, we use two columns for each account with best constructive numbers. Whether the entry raises or decreases the account is dependent upon choice of the column wherein it is entered. Entries within the left column are referred to as debits, and entries in the right column are known as credit.
In double entry bookkeeping, as a minimum two money owed are impacted through each and every transaction, a kind of entries ought to be a debit and the other entry must be a credit of equal amount. To complicate matters further, more than two bills can be utilized if the transaction is cut up amongst them, as long as the sum of debits for the transaction equals the sum of credits. Oddly enough, they have got to stability (cancel each other out, for those who feel about it) to zero.
That's one of the vital beauties of QuickBooks – the person is spared the decision making method of "what do I enter right here…..Debit or credit?".
In truth, whether or not a debit or a credit score increases or decreases an account balance relies on the variety of account. Asset and price accounts are accelerated on the debit aspect – liability, fairness, and earnings money owed are improved on the credit side.
QuickBooks obscures the credit/debit part of transactions, which isn't continually a good thing. That QuickBooks force can be a curse. If you happen to do not "grok" the concept of debits and credit as they observe to designated types of money owed, QuickBooks could permit you to merrily enter transactions incorrectly.
That is where the double entry bookkeeping procedure can help – it supplies a system of checks and balances.
By way of adding up all the debits and including up all the credit and evaluating the two, differences stick out like a sore thumb out and you have got the hazard to correct any error. When debits and credits don't match – the "double entry bookkeeping" method loudly tells you anything is flawed and needs correction. Correctly, QuickBooks will actively avoid you from getting into "out of steadiness" (that means the debits and credit do not healthy) transactions. Nevertheless, QuickBooks will not consistently discontinue you from incorrectly assigning debits and credits to your bills.
To hinder confusion over debits and credit, do not think of them in the way they are utilized in everyday language.
You can be confused considering the fact that you concept a credit used to be a good factor! We realized these terms from dealing with banks and shops, however they were using the phrases from their viewpoint.
When the bank gave you a "credit score", it was their cash they are crediting, or subtracting from.
Excellent for you, not just right for the financial institution.
As a trade owner, consider of debits and credits out of your enterprise's factor of view. While you debit your money, you add to it. While you credit your cash, you subtract from it.
Whilst you put cash within the financial institution, the bank now could be obliged to pay it again to you, which is a legal responsibility and for that reason a credit (develop) of their liability to you. So the teller tells you your account has been "credited".
See how it will get confusing now? See how the 2 of you, your organization and the financial institution reflect photograph each different? The "credit score" from the viewpoint of the bank is, actually a debit from your enterprise point of view. Fascinating (as Spock would say), in case you feel about it.
The confusion will also be eliminated by remembering the basic idea. Debit refers to the left ; credit refers back to the correct.
And no, it does no longer mean Democrats are debits and Republicans are credit.

The E-Z Guide To Student Loans (Stafford Loans)
Student Loans are somewhat overpowering at first. Particularly when you've quite recently graduated secondary school and you have so much other stuff on your plate.
I recall when I graduated secondary school, the main thing I needed to know was "What will it take for me to get a higher education". Whatever it was, I was readied to do it. So I connected for monetary help utilizing FAFSA (the letters stand for Free Application for Federal Assistance in the event that you were pondering). At that point once I really got to school, I was introduced a room and made to sign this printed material with the underlining thought being: Unless you're going to pay your educational cost money or through some grant fund, you have to sign these understudy loan reports. I wound up marking and basically overlooked my understudy loans until I graduated. At that point I got the bill…. Goody gumdrops!
I trust everybody ought to know something about understudy loans before transferring ownership of your life… I mean the loan reports. Not to say that understudy loans are BAD per say, only that an educated individual is more arranged to manage something than somebody who doesn't know their hands from their feet.
So we should get into it!
What sort of Student Loans are there?
The first we'll talk about is: The Direct Stafford Loan
The cash being obtained from this loan comes specifically from your great ol' Uncle Sam. Yes, Uncle Sam cares about you as well! Direct Stafford Loans are "low-intrigue loans for qualified understudies to take care of the expense of advanced education at a four-year school or college, junior college, or exchange, career, or specialized school." I'm certain you're asking what the necessity is to get the Direct Stafford Loan and as with every single convoluted inquiry, the answer is, IT DEPENDS.
There's two sorts of Stafford Student Loans
There's the Subsidized Stafford Loan and afterward there's the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan.
With the Subsidized Stafford Loan, you are not charged enthusiasm insofar as you're enlisted into school in any event half-time and amid elegance periods and delay periods. The Federal Government really pays the enthusiasm for you while you're still in school. So the loan quality is really the same sum you truly obtained. Sounds extraordinary right? Well there's a catch. The catch is that this loan is reliant on the money related requirements of the understudy. This loan isn't accessible to everybody, its accessibility really subject to what charge section you and your folks fall into. Another catch is that your school really decides the amount you can cart.
The second sort of Stafford Loan is Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. This kind of loan is intended for the individuals who are met all requirements for Subsidized Stafford Loans, however require somewhat more cash to pay their educational cost and also those that aren't fit the bill for Subsidized Stafford Loans yet at the same time need cash to pay their educational cost. Pretty much every family is qualified for Unsubsidized Stafford Loans.
How could that be? Well for Unsubsidized Stafford Loans premium starts gathering from the first run through cash is paid out. So the main semester that your Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is connected to is additionally the start of interest amassing on your loan. What that likewise means is the more you choose to stay in school, the more hobby will amass on your loan.
What an extraordinary approach to inspire you to finish your degree in 4 years right? All things considered, not by any stretch of the imagination, however it's very worth remembering. Nonetheless, as an expression of counsel, you ought to take a stab at paying in any event your amassed interest while your still in school to abstain from exploding your loan much further. Thusly, you could get the same advantage that Subsidized Stafford Loans give by just being in charge of the measure of your loan when you graduate. In the event that you choose not to pay anything towards your loan while still in school, you'll wind up with a powerful bill when you graduate subsequent to your gathered interest winds up amassing its own particular enthusiasm also.
Another critical point about Unsubsidized Stafford Loans is that, as Subsidized Stafford Loans, your school chooses the sum you get. The Unsubsidized Stafford Loan isn't exactly the limitless ticket to ride you longed for, however it helps deal with those semesters at more costly schools.
What amount of cash would you be able to hand truck with the Stafford Student Loan?
Well as I specified above, at last your school chooses that, yet they additionally need to work inside of the points of confinement set by the loan. The most extreme sums your school could permit you to dump cart are recorded beneath:
Subordinate Undergraduate Student (aside from understudies whose folks can't get PLUS Loans)
To start with Year: $5,500-No more than $3,500 of this sum might be in financed loans.
Second Year: $6,500-No more than $4,500 of this sum might be in sponsored loans.
Third Year: $7,500-No more than $5,500 of this sum might be in sponsored loans.
Greatest Total Debt from Stafford Loans When You Graduate* (total loan limits): $31,000-No more than $23,000 of this sum might be in sponsored loans.
Autonomous Undergraduate Student (and ward understudies whose folks can't acquire PLUS Loans)
In the first place Year: $9,500-No more than $3,500 of this sum might be in financed loans.
Second Year: $10,500-No more than $4,500 of this sum might be in financed loans.
Third Year: $12,500-No more than $5,500 of this sum might be in financed loans.
Most extreme Total Debt from Stafford Loans When You Graduate* (total loan limits): $57,500-No more than $23,000 of this sum might be in sponsored loans.
Graduate and Professional Degree Student
To begin with, Second, and Third Years: $20,500-No more than $8,500 of this sum might be in financed loans.
Most extreme Total Debt from Stafford Loans When You Graduate* (total loan limits): $138,500-No more than $65,500 of this sum might be in financed loans. The graduate obligation limit incorporates Stafford Loans got for undergrad study.
* You can put in over 4 years in school yet the most extreme aggregate sum you dump cart from the Stafford Loan can't surpass the point of confinement above.

Hello, can someone please tell me if there is a way to retrieve all clients at once via the API? Thank you! regards, Tom
hi Till, this works perfectly, thank you very much! I looked it up in the API documentation contained in the ISPConfig release package, but could not find a hint. Did I miss it or is it not in there? Is there another place where I can find out the details of the API without bugging you all the time? ;-) Regards, Tom
Hi, all ..._get() functions in the API support a array as ID parameter and in the array you can use any field of the corresponding database table. The values can contain % as wildcard. so this query: $clients = $client->client_get($session_id, array('contact_name' => '%John%')); woud return all clients were "John" is in the contact name field.
Hi, thanks! This is a very helpful piece of information! Most recently I have programmed for Plesk, and I have to point out that their RPC API ist a large pile of crap (and their support is even worse). I have not seen a lot of the ISPConfig API yet, but I like it much better already.... ;-) And, btw, I have seen a lot of the ISPConfig community support, and I cannot stress enough how great it is! Regards, Tom
I am sorry but I have another question... I would like to create a list of domains of a certain client (via API), but the domain array I get via SOAP does not seem to contain information on the owner client. When I fetch all domains and try to find out the clients via the client_get_id function, I only get the admin ID (which is the user who created the domains). The api function domains_get_all_by_user gives a list of the domains created by a certain user, I assume? But this does not help me here... But in Ispconfig, Tab "Sites", there is a list of the domains, with the owner clients in front. So there must be a way... Can someone give me a hint please? Regards, Tom
The records conatin the user and group information. Every client has its own group, so you can select them by filtering on the group ID which is associated with the client.
When I try to fetch the subdomains of a domain with the following SOAP request: sites_web_subdomain_get($session_id, array("parent_domain_id" => $id) ) I do not only get the subdomains, but also the aliasdomains with the same parent_domain_id. Is this bug or feature? I tested it with the request sites_web_aliasdomain_get($session_id, array("parent_domain_id" => $id)) too, the behaviour is exactly the same.... So the output of two different SOAP commands is the same, this can't be intentional, can it?
Both commands work on the same table and with array("parent_domain_id" => $id) you override all other selections. If you want to use the array paremeter and get subdomains only, then the query is: sites_web_subdomain_get($session_id, array("parent_domain_id" => $id,"type" => 'subdomain') )
It should be mentioned that it is necessary to use the undocumented (!) SOAP call client_get_groupid($session_id, $client_id) to obtain the group_id of a client. Strangely, the group_id is not included in the answers to the client_get() and client_get_by_username() functions.
Thats the function to convert the client ID to groupid, if you want to convert from one ID to another then you have to use that function of course. The grouid is part of the response of any record, it does not amtter if you query a website or a client. print out the response with print_r(), you will see that the sys_groupid is returned. The groupid of a record is the owner group of that record and the client records are owned by the administrator or reseller that created them. So the grouipd of a client record is either the groupid of the admin or the groupid of the reseller.
Hi Till, please forgive me if I got something wrong, but I still believe that my post is correct in the given context: my aim is to create a list of domains belonging to a certain client. So I would fetch the client first by client_get() or client_get_by_username(). But then I only get the sys_groupid of the client, which is, as you pointed out, the id of the admin or the reseller. Now I would need to send a request like sites_web_domain_get($session_id, array('sys_groupid' => $id)) and here I need the group_id of the user, which I do not have at this point. So I'd use the client_get_groupid($session_id, $client_id) function. Did I get something wrong? Is there a better way? Regards, Tom
If you write a external application for ispconfig, then you have the client_id as universal reference stored in your app. So normally you wont query the client table at all except if you want to change client details. This ID can be used to query a client and this ID can also be used to query for the groupid of that client if you need it for other queries.

Michael Nyman is a composer, pianist, librettist, writer, musicologist, photographer and film-maker whose work encompasses opera, concert music and film soundtracks of which The Draughtsman's Contract and The Piano are the best-known. Since founding the Michael Nyman Band in 1977, which tours the world, he has worked with leading film directors and has collaborated with artists such as Mary Kelly, Damon Albarn, Carsten Nicolai and the recent Oscar winning Man on Wire star Phillippe Petit.
Songs For Tony for String Quartet was composed in 1993, in memory of Tony Simmons.
'I began writing a saxophone quartet on New Year's Eve 1992. In the early afternoon of 5th January 1993, I was informed that my friend and business manager, Tony Simmons, had died after a long and heroic fight against cancer. I immediately sat down and wrote the music which became the fourth song, in what became a 'memorial' quartet. The previously composed music was scrapped as I decided to give each player, in turn, an 'aria' of his own.
The first song is a transcription of an actual song - 'Mozart on Mortality' - which I wrote for the Composers Ensemble in the spring of 1992. The text, by Mozart himself, is all too appropriate: 'I may not see another day'. The second song is adapted from the music for the scene in Jane Campion's film The Piano, where the mute Ada (Holly Hunter) pushes her chief means of communication, her piano, overboard. This film was the last major deal that Tony negotiated on my behalf. The third song, a soprano sax solo, is based on a tune I composed some years ago, but was saving for a special occasion.' - Michael Nyman

To the editor:
Two new subjects just came into my life that never were there before. One is the turtle patrol, and the other is bush hogging.
I just attended the annual Holden Beach Turtle Patrol meeting. One of its teams released 145 newborn terrapin turtles into the Atlantic of Holden Beach. This is considered to be a record for the area.
The turtle patrol is truly to be commended. I am not sure who all of the members of the team were though. My wife Jill, a new trainee, was one of them. She was so proud to wear her red turtle patrol shirt.

Overboard is the norm for Lady Gaga concert
Lady Gaga's 'little monsters' out in force for concert
September 6, 2010 8:00 AMOutside the Consol Energy Center Sunday night, you stood out if you didn't stand out.
In the crowd of people waiting to be admitted to the Lady Gaga concert, those wearing jeans and T-shirts were the strange ones. Sequins, spandex, cigarette sunglasses, lace, leather, tutus, wigs and bows, heels and bubbles, soda cans and fishnets -- that's what you wear to a Lady Gaga concert.
Lady Gaga's fans, or as she calls them, her little monsters, came out in full costume for the pop sensation's premiere performance in Pittsburgh, and it looked more like Halloween than the day before Labor Day outside the Uptown arena.
The singer is known as much for her songs, like "Paparazzi," "Bad Romance," and "Poker Face," as for her outrageous ensembles, like a gown orbited by plastic rings, a dress made entirely of plastic bubbles and gravity-defying heels.
As she tours around the country, her fans have arrived at her shows wearing their best Lady Gaga-imitation costumes in homage to her music videos, her award show performances or her photo shoots.
Even Lady Gaga's grandmother cannot believe the fandom her granddaughter (real name: Stefani Germanotta) has inspired, according to Janie Husek, who said she is friends with the grandmother, Ronnie Bissett of Glen Dale, W.Va., a town close to Shadyside, Ohio, where Ms. Husek lives.
Ms. Husek, who did stand out in her T-shirt and jeans, was running around taking pictures of fans in their costumes.
Paul and Ronnie Bissett were attending the Pittsburgh show, she said, but she wanted to take enough photos of the fans to make them a scrapbook.
"I just want them to see how much everyone loves their granddaughter," she said.
So, out of the thousands of fans who wore their Lady Gaga finest, a few for the scrapbook:
• Alexandra Tkach, 15, of West Mifflin, didn't have a ticket for the concert, but she did have high heels, spandex leggings, a yellow wig and gloves. She was walking around the sidewalks of Consol with her sister and her friends, holding a cup filled with hot tea.
"We didn't have tickets," she said. "We're supporting Gaga."
• Carnegie Mellon University student Angelina Gonzalez, and University of Pittsburgh student Eric Langberg, both 20, are big Lady Gaga fans, to put it lightly.
"Obsessed is a good word to use," Mr. Langberg said.
They did a service project putting together hygiene kits for homeless youth, and Virgin Mobile gave them two free Lady Gaga tickets for it.
Ms. Gonzalez wore fishnet stockings and a dress made completely out of bubble wrap that she had taped around herself.
"I work at a place where we get a lot of packing material, so I took a little of it," she said.
A dress made completely out of packing material makes sitting down loud and difficult, but they had standing-area tickets, and on the bus ride from Oakland, they said they stood.
"Going to the bathroom is not easy to do," she said.
Standing next to her, Mr. Langberg wore regular clothes but had wrapped himself in yellow caution tape in imitation of Lady Gaga's "Telephone" video.
• Down the line of ticket holders, Ashley Kesler, 21, of Ford City, and Nathan Bagoly, 21, of Kittanning, were wearing fangs. Ms. Kesler, apologizing for her temporary lisp, said she had gone shopping at a Halloween store to complete the rest of her costume: boots and spandex, a wig and a bow made out of hair.
"I think that Lady Gaga just expresses herself in an excellent way, and just makes you not afraid to express yourself," she said.
After accidentally poking Mr. Bagoly with her shoulder spikes made out of duct tape, she added:
"I'm married with two kids, so I usually tone it down. This is not my usual look."
• It took three days for Katie DeWitt, 17, of the North Hills, to fashion her costume. The hard part was the red wig containing five Pepsi cans, each one wrapped with hair as though it were a curler.
"A lot of people are pretending not to take pictures of me on their phones," she said.
• Molly Shirey, 22, of Monroeville, wore gold heels, silver leggings, a cheetah leotard, pink vest and sunglasses with 14 cigarettes she had attached, a look Lady Gaga wears at the beginning of her "Telephone" video. Her friends wore lace pantyhose, high heels and had made bows out of their hair.
"We knew we couldn't come here looking normal," Ms. Shirey said.
• Edwina Akins, 66, loves Lady Gaga, and she promised her granddaughter, Emily Nucci, 15, that if she ever came to Pittsburgh, they would go. There they were, with Ms. Akins' normally white hair dyed pink.
"I didn't want to dress like a floozy, but I wanted to look cute, and thought, what looks cuter than pink hair?" she said.
• Cameras flashed as Paige Culnan, 21, of Berea, Ky., made her way to the Consol entrance. She wore a skin-toned leotard covered in 58 clear Christmas bulbs that looked like bubbles. The costume, an imitation of a look Lady Gaga has worn in concerts, took her about a week to make, she said.
"She really is an artist and she inspires people," she said.
• And the final picture, for the scrapbook: Nick Ingels, 17, of New Haven, W.V., wearing a mask made of mirrors and sequins that his stepmother, Dee Ingels, had designed for him.
"It's my own version of the 'Poker Face' mask," he said. Dozens of people stopped him as he made his way to the entrance of Consol, asking to take a picture with the man wearing a mirrored mask and a full body spandex suit.
His explanation for why Lady Gaga concerts inspire such extravagant costumes?
"The passion for it, the obsession for her."

A man claims to have found the burnt-out remains of a Volvo, involved in a police chase in West Wickham this week, near his home.
At around 1.30pm on Wednesday (July 16) a police car was barged three times as a car fled the scene of an attempted burglary, causing a pile-up in West Wickham.
Police had been alerted to the attempted burglary in Bishop Butt Close, Orpington, at 1.20pm, after two men were disturbed by a householder trying to break into his garage.
The men fled the scene in a Volvo, and a short while later the Volvo was spotted by officers in Glebe Way, West Wickham.
As they approached the vehicle it suddenly braked and reversed into the police car three times.
A Saab and Vauxhall Corsa, behind the police car, were also damaged. Police officers and drivers of the Saab and Vauxhall Corsa suffered minor injuries.
On Twitter @sammears_ said: "What's happening in west wickham police chasing a car with its boot hanging off, p**** nearly killed me."
@Mrskbarley added: "Car speeding through West Wickham High Street, police in pursuit, Someone up to no good! Left bumper in road opposite our office."
The Volvo drove off in the direction of West Wickham and was later found burnt-out in Wickham Road, Croydon.
A 24-year-old man, who did not want to be named, said he saw men park the car near his home.
He said: "There were two young white lads. They dumped the car round the back of my property.
"It looked like they were trying to get something out of the vehicle, but they weren't able to, so they just set fire to the car."
No arrests have been made and enquiries continue.

The following is a summary of Thompsons views on the issues of National Security, Federal Budget and Spending/Budgetary Reform, Tax Reform, Healthcare, Government Effectiveness, Building Strong Families, Immigration, Education, Appointment of Judges, Energy Security, and the Second Amendment.
National Security
In a post 9/11 world, Thompson recognizes the need for America to increase its ability to defeat its terrorist enemies. Therefore, his plans include upscaling the military, improving the missile defense system, enhancing the intelligence community, making homeland security robust enough to protect America from terrorists worldwide, giving backbone the judicial system so it will face the reality of terrorism and unlawful enemy combatants.
Federal Budget and Spending/Budgetary Reform
To ease the burden that threatens future generations of Americans, Thompson plans to make the governments fiscal records transparent so everyone can understand clearly the impending crisis, devise a comprehensive plan including all political views to help solve the crisis, cut wasteful spending, to safeguard our security, promote our prosperity, and protect our children and grandchildren from fiscal calamity.
Tax Reform
Thompson anticipates a full renovation the U.S. Tax code by dissolving the IRS as we know it. He wants to devise a [f]undamental tax reform built on the principles of simplicity, fairness, and growth. He envisions a tax code that lightens the tax burden on U.S. citizens while at the same time boosts U.S. competitiveness worldwide.
Even though American healthcare is the worlds best, some Americans opt not to have medical insurance, and others cannot afford it. Thompson believes that everyone who wants it should be able to acquire appropriate medical coverage. He realizes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to healthcare and insurance coverage. He offers a five part solution to the problem: make available information and opportunities that allow individuals to choose the medical care options that best suit them and their families, create a system that actually improves the health of every American by bolstering cost-effective prevention, chronic-care management, and personal responsibility, update current administration and delivery by fostering best practices, emphasize free-market solutions, support and promote more research in medicine and life-science.
Government Effectiveness
Thompson realizes that current government practices are inefficient and wasteful. He plans to correct this deficiency by placing only the best qualified people in place and then allowing him proper authority and resources to their jobs, repair government accounting, making it more transparent, holding agencies accountable, and securing information technologies.
Building Strong Families
Fred Thompson believes that families are the bedrock of our nation and our culture. He wants to strengthen the institutions of family and marriage by encouraging policies that promote a culture of life and advance the freedom of religion, return to state governments authority for protecting families to eliminate intrusion by the federal government and the judiciary, fight obscenity in the media by allowing parents better control and the ability to exercise their responsibilities.
In a post 9/11 world, immigration has become a security issue. Thompson believes a nation has the responsibility to determine who enters. He therefore plans to secure the borders and enforce immigration laws and end sanctuary cities, make sure that existing immigration laws actually benefit our national interest, promote unity by welcoming legal immigration, promoting the English language, encouraging assimilation so that legal immigrants may become productive citizens.
Thompson recognizes the importance of education for a democracy and despite the fact that billions of dollars has been poured in the education systems, our schools are not performing well enough. He wants to lessen the bureaucracy and give parents more choices of schools, reduce federal mandates and return moneys to the state, encourage vouchers, charter schools, and foster competition and choice to improve schools, encourage teachers and students to study science, technology, engineering, and math, because these fields are crucial not only for prosperity but also for security in a post 9/11 world; he is also committed to Promoting transparency to assess performance, promote accountability, and share innovations in education at all levels.
Appointing Judges Faithful To Our Constitution
Because activist judges have been responsible for bringing about a culture of abortion and have been attempting to redefine and weaken marriage, which undermines families, Thompson intends to appoint only strict constructionist judges who will interpret the law, not impose their views on us by legislating from the bench.
Energy Security
Because dependence on foreign energy sources threatens our national and economic security, Thompson plans to seek a balanced approach to energy security that increases domestic supplies, reduces demand for oil and gas, and promotes alternative fuels and other diverse energy sources, encourage non-fossil fuel research, promote policies that enhance energy efficiency, and encourage research and development to improve the environment and lower C02 levels.
Second Amendment
Thompson strongly supports the protection of an individuals right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the second amendment of the Constitution. He therefore is committed to protecting the individuals right while strictly enforcing existing laws and severely punishing violent criminals.
For more information, please visit: Fred 08
We don't know where he STANDS on the issues!
He didn't get into the race early enough to tell us!
Thanks for posting this. Of course, we'll still have people complaining that they don't know Fred's positions on the issues and therefore can't support him. Sigh.
My only advice to FRed is regards enhancing the Intelligence Community.
Remove any and all holdovers from the Clinton administration.
Well, we know for whom they would vote anyway don't we?
Remove any and all holdovers from the Clinton administration.
Ditto the State Department.
Has he ever said how many million per year he thinks should come legally? We have over 2 million legally entering now. Thanks.
Thanks for posting this.
No more, "But, but, but where does FRed stand on the ISSUES?"
I'm gonna bookmark this for future use. Will make a handy weapon.
Great. Old Fred is looking good. Now, what about CFR?
Would that be his membership in CFR, or his most recent position on CFR?
And note that one of his closest friends and advisors is Congressman Zach Wamp, an erstwhile supporter of the FairTax and cosponsor of HR 25.
Fred need to clean up his stance on illegal immigration, or I will not vote for him. He is fine on the rest.
He is for enforcing immigration laws, securing the borders and ending sanctuary cities. What else do you want?
Fred is the only candidate with the character, conviction and national recognition for a Conservative victory in 2008.
I, along with millions of others, am thrilled with the prospect.
Thompson recognizes the importance of education for a democracy...
Sure glad we don't live in one. The use of this word in this way should be a huge red flag to any conservative.
...and despite the fact that billions of dollars has been poured in the education systems...
They need an editor.
...our schools are not performing well enough. He wants to lessen the bureaucracy...
Really? I thought he was a federalist? Where exactly is the enumerated constitutional power that allows the national government to have ANY say in anything to do with education - except in the military?
...and give parents more choices of schools, reduce federal mandates and return moneys to the state, encourage vouchers, charter schools, and foster competition and choice to improve schools, encourage teachers and students to study science, technology, engineering, and math, because these fields are crucial not only for prosperity but also for security in a post 9/11 world; he is also committed to Promoting transparency to assess performance, promote accountability, and share innovations in education at all levels.
More top-down statist nonsense, with the federal government firmly in control of all the power.
Simply get the federal government out of their unconstitutional role in education, and let us keep our education dollars at home where they belong - instead of sending them to Washington so they can run them through the bureaucracy and send a tiny percentage back to us with strings attached.
If you loved "No Child Left Behind," you'll love Fred Thompson.
So you post a bunch of platitudes that we can all agree on and that's the sales job for Fred? Where are the details? How is he going to enforce the immigrant laws? What will he do differently? What kind of tax is he talking about that gets rid of the IRS and makes US products more competitive? Details, details, details!
More "bipartisanship". Just great.
I'm sure Teddy Kennedy, Charlie Rangel, Nancy Pelosi, et al, are going to be highly cooperative!
A lame comment. If someone had made it a "security issue" BEFORE 9-11, there might not have BEEN a 9-11.
How does legal immigration "promote unity"? There are lots of things legal immigration does, but this doesn't seem like one of them.
promoting the English language
Weak words with no teeth and dang little in the way of specifics throughout this document.
This IS a bit unclear.....
On a path to citizenship: "[B]ecause we allowed ourselves to wait until we woke up one day and found 12 million illegals here, there's no easy solution. And I think that you have to realize that you're either going to drive 12 million people underground permanently, which is not a good solution. You're going to get them all together and get them out of the country, which is not going to happen. Or you're going to have to, in some way, work out a deal where they can have some aspirations of citizenship, but not make it so easy that it's unfair to the people waiting in line and abiding by the law." (Fox News Fred Thompson on "Hannity & Colmes," 4/3/06)
On the problems with cracking down on employers: "We haven't enforced the law, in terms of employers. For 20 years, we've not enforced the law, and that's a part of the problem. You can't enforce it all on the backs of the employers. People falsify information that they give employers and all that. That's not a solution to the problem." (Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes," 4/3/06)
On his skepticism of a brick-and-mortar border fence: FOX's ALAN COLMES: "You don't put up a fence, either, do you? Is that bad neighbor policy, put a fence up?" THOMPSON: "If it would work. I mean, I don't know that's a technical problem. In this day and age, I would not think you would have to use bricks and mortar to get that job done. But we ought to do everything that we can to get it done to the extent that we can and then, as I say, I think people would be willing to take a look at the rest of the problem, what we do with the problem that we created." (Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes," 4/3/06)
On enforcement first: "We woke up one day after years of neglect and apparently discovered that we have somewhere between 12 million and 20 million illegal aliens in this country. So it became an impossible situation to deal with. I mean, there's really no good solution. So what do you do? You have to start over. Well, I'm concerned about the next 12 million or 20 million. So that's why enforcement, and enforcement at the border, has to be primary." (Fox's "Fox News Sunday," 3/11/07)
On not rounding up illegal immigrants: "You know, if you have the right kind of policies, and you're not encouraging people to come here and encouraging them to stay once they're here, they'll go back, many of them, of their own volition, instead of having to, you know, load up moving vans and rounding people up. That's not going to happen." (Fox's "Fox News Sunday," 3/11/07)
Thompson anticipates a full renovation the U.S. Tax code by dissolving the IRS as we know it. He wants to devise a [f]undamental tax reform built on the principles of simplicity, fairness, and growth. He envisions a tax code that lightens the tax burden on U.S. citizens while at the same time boosts U.S. competitiveness worldwide.
We've heard these same sort of inspecific nothings from the current occupant of the WH and from the Gingrich/Armey wing of the party for years. What they're really telling you is that they're not going to do much of anything at all except tinker around the edges of the current system. Bleh.
Alan Keyes? What, was John Cox or Ron Paul too mainstream for you?
If you're interested in bread and circuses, instead of getting down to the meat of how we restore and defend constitutional governance, I can see why you'd prefer this sort of cotton candy.
Are you aware of any specific proposal by Thompson to reduce the size of the federal government? What I saw in the post looks like he is proposing a more open, efficient socialism than what we have now.
Our country was founded by immigrants, and immigrants have helped this become a strong nation. I have no problem with allowing folks to come here, but only if they truly want to become AMERICANS, and not try to make America into their own homeland. That's not to say that they shouldn't be able to have their groups and neighborhoods, and food stores, but our laws and culture are our own, and they must assimilate, while maintaining their culture within their families, and neighborhoods if they so choose. Generations of immigrants have done just that, and America is stronger for it. We are not so much a melting pot as a stew, with disparate, but identifiable ingredients.
Why? Most people consider what we have a democracy. They know that our laws are not decided by direct vote but by their Representatives in their local towns, in their states and in the national Congress, but they think that is democracy. If you told folks that we are actually a representative Republic, they'd look at you like you had two heads!
Don't forget, Fred knows these folks. He's seen them up close.
If he comes up with some specifics, that's fine, but I'm more interested in what his beliefs and ideas are. That will give me a better idea of what his specifics will be when the time comes for them.
However, he is a very strong Federalist and that automatically means smaller government.
Perhaps he'll give specifics later.
IMHO, he could start with the Dept of Education.
If you want to help Fred, click here: https://www.fred08.com/contribute.aspx?RefererID=c637caaa-315c-4b4c-9967-08d864cd0791
See, there's your problem. You don't understand that you can only know what his "beliefs and ideas" are if he gets specific.
I have no patience for weasel words.
I wonder who wrote these talking points, Mrs. James Carville, or one of his Schwarzenegger hacks.
Well, yeah. What do you expect when prominent politicians like Thompson can't even get it right. The people stay stupid.
Oh, Fred knows the difference, but he knows he's speaking to some folks who wouldn't know a constitutional republic if it bit them in the butt. He's speaking to folks exactly where they are, and they seem to like him.
Whoa ... Thompson has made general statements supportive of tax reform, you are claiming FAIR Tax fits the bill. (It does, but it has its own issues.)
Rather than assume Thompson supports Fair Tax, it would be better to have quotes of Thompson himself stating his position on the FAIR Tax. has he made a statement clearly on this?
"...and give parents more choices of schools, reduce federal mandates and return moneys to the state, encourage vouchers, charter schools, and foster competition and choice to improve schools, encourage teachers and students to study science, technology, engineering, and math, because these fields are crucial not only for prosperity but also for security in a post 9/11 world; he is also committed to Promoting transparency to assess performance, promote accountability, and share innovations in education at all levels.
More top-down statist nonsense, with the federal government firmly in control of all the power. "
Whoa. You were right on the federalist contradiction (not that we'll get anywhere on getting rid of the Dept of Ed anyway, but it would be nice for the 'federalist' label to mean something) ... BUT ...
"give parents more choices of schools, reduce federal mandates and return moneys to the state, encourage vouchers, charter schools, and foster competition and choice to improve schools" ... ALL go away from the stalinist education model to the market/choice/freedom model.
The ultimate local control is parental control and the path to parental control is school choice via vouchers.
A clear "end NCLB, end bilingual education, abolish the Dept of Ed, end Federal red tape" would be best, but I'll take a federal focus on school choice as a nice runner up.
"Oh, Fred knows the difference, but he knows he's speaking to some folks who wouldn't know a constitutional republic if it bit them in the butt. He's speaking to folks exactly where they are, ..."
So he's insulting us by talking down to us? ... Please stop. You are digging the hole deeper.
"and they seem to like him."
I would like him better if he had precision and accuracy in his pronouncements, and I'm sure the folks who supposedly wouldn't know better wouldn't mind it either.
He's not 'talking down' to anyone, he's simply meeting some folks where they are. Are you denying that most folks don't know the difference between a democracy and a representative republic? Just having someone as a candidate who talks up Federalism will go a long way towards educating voters. That's a great thing!
SAY IT AIN'T SO, FRED! (Dispatch Inhofe, post haste.)
"Fred could talk about specifics all day, but that doesn't mean what he wants done will get done."
OR ... he can't talk vague happy talk about dissolving the IRS without telling us exactly how taxes are to be cut, and thereby avoid *any* accountability to actually achieving anything!!!
Nice job if you can get it.
"The President is not a dictator, and he doesn't file legislation."
On the contrary, some of our most successful legislation has been crafted with the executive branch's input, including specific legislation.
It was the "Reagan Tax Cuts" and "Bush Tax Cuts" because they were there in the trenches asking for *specific provisions*.
"Hes not talking down to anyone, hes simply meeting some folks where they are. Are you denying that most folks dont know the difference between a democracy and a representative republic?"
'where they are'? I'm in Texas. I am denying that he needs to be patronizing like that. I dont see other GOP candidates doing that. That's the kind of junk Al Gore would pull, talking to us like 5th graders. That would be a big phony act if true, and we don't need phony candidates.
Congratulations on being a savvy citizen! Most FReepers, are. However, as several threads on FR in the last week have shown, many are not, and they do need to be educated about this country. I'm glad Fred is doing this, and with his speaking style, they won't think they're being 'talked down to', as they might if they were being spoken to by Her Heinous. But then, she wouldn't be trying to educate any of them anyway; it's in her best interest to keep them uninformed.
