Berlin. I mean, seriously, Berlin!
I had no idea what I was getting into the first time I came up. It's not just the counter-culture, the punk, and all the people mixed together. The Turkish quarters with portions of hummus so huge that they are hard to devour in two, the bite-sized baklavas, and the impeccably prepared coffee; the coffee that smells like home and maybe even feels like it. The Middle Eastern restaurant, Sababa, in Mitte district. Then a whole afternoon reserved just for Ethiopian food. My devotion to it knows no limits and I've been away for too long.
The bike rides from east to west, and not realizing when you've crossed the line. And by the way, biking around Berlin is the best way to experience the city. East Side Gallery; what it represents now. My friend and I biked through the entire wall and I kept thinking of him. He'd been there before and — I am pressed hard to admit this — based on his loose recommendations of what I might like, I was kind of retracing his steps. Berlin feels a little bit like stepping back in time; seeing all the memorials and the marks of the past. Like walking through a cloud or a ghost, if such a thing existed.
I came with no expectations, walked away with so much. But you do have to know the history in order to understand the city, at least some of it. Without being able to connect the dots, I am not sure my passion would be the same. Berlin captures me with its rawness and history. The past and the present mixed together, I felt as if I could relate to the city on some strange introverted level.
Photo booths and Club Mate. David Bowie paraphernalia in places you wouldn't expect them. Parks, plenty of parks. Summer in the city. Memorials and museums. Spectacular coffee and food places. Streets of diverse, incredible people. PhD. students who look like they are homeless; then they open their mouth and you find out they speak eight languages. Jazz, new-age pop, reggae, and classical music; everything goes. You don't even think about it. Oh, and Kreuzberg, the colorful neighborhood that I fell in love with. I'd definitely take a flat around there but settled for a flat white. Even in Berlin (especially in Berlin!), I followed the coffee.
The Barn, naturally. It's my number one. They are pros and they are gorgeous. Roasters disappointed the first time and then they disappointed the second time. The coffee was scorching hot and couldn't be even touched for ten minutes. Also: not strong enough for my Southern European tastes. But that's just me. Bitte! Coffeehouse was a love at first sight. A little Greek shop tucked away unassumingly on a street. Apart from an excellent flat white, I walked away with a lovely homemade lavender soap. And saving the best for last: Five Elephant is a must, without a doubt.
In Berlin, you listen to the beat of your heart and let it lead you.

We bring rich and artistic learning experiences which emphasize the human values of truth, beauty, and goodness to encourage a sense of wonder and reverence for our world as well as greater social responsibility.
We promote the healthy physical and social development of every child entrusted into our care, consciously striving to strengthen and nourish body, soul, and spirit.
What is Waldorf Education?
Waldorf education is a fully integrated and holistic education which teaches to the whole human being; head, heart, and hands, and embraces, honors, and celebrates our social and cultural diversity. It is one of the fastest growing independent school movements in the world with over 1100 schools in over 75 countries, more than 2000 early childhood programs on six continents, and over 600 institutions for curative education.
early childhood programs
Rudolf Steiner (1865-1925) was a highly respected scientific, literary, and philosophical thinker and scholar, well known for his work with Goethe's scientific writings and as a progressive innovator. Founded on his insights, Waldorf schools teach out of a curriculum based on the fundamental truth that human beings are three fold in nature, comprising of body, soul, and spirit.
Core Elements.
We weave art, music, movement, and practical arts into all of our lessons reflecting the widely diverse and colorful nature of the human experience. By following the natural stages of child development and meeting them in age appropriate ways, we mirror the path of humankind and the patterns of growth in civilization. The children greatly benefit from our integrated and progressive curriculum.
History of the School.
Prerana which means, 'sublime inspiration', was founded by Indira and Maj. Varma and opened its doors in 2001. Beginning in 1996 with a successful mainstream school, Mount Banjara High School, the stresses and divisively competitive nature of mainstream education led Indira on a quest for a truly human education which nurtured and protected the sanctity of childhood.
Choosing a school and an educational system for your child is one of the most important decisions that you will make.
Our admissions procedure is more than simply filling out forms, providing documents, and paying fees for here at Prerana we want to join and support parents and families in a partnership, the noble and collaborative task of educating their children.

Lisa Rickard
WASHINGTON (Legal Newsline)---A bevy of provisions that would expand liability laws for businesses and ordinary Americans have been worked into key pieces of legislation by the nation's trial lawyers, a group said Monday.
To expose the so-called legal earmarks, the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform has started a Web site and media campaign aimed at spotlighting the vast number of proposals the trial bar has pending before Congress.
"The plaintiffs' trial bar has found a pastime almost as enjoyable as filing lawsuits: convincing Congress to pass legislation allowing them to file more lawsuits," said ILR President Lisa Rickard. "This legislative session, they have tucked trial lawyer 'earmarks'-- vehicles giving them greater opportunity to sue -- into a large number of bills now before Congress."
The Web site, www.TrialLawyerEarmarks.com, shows the "breadth and scope of the trial lawyer agenda through a tangle of vines overtaking the U.S. Capitol Building," the ILR said Monday in a statement.
There are about 28 provisions backed by the trial lawyers that would allow lawyers to file more lawsuits, the statement said.
"The trial lawyer industry will never be satisfied with the amount and scope of lawsuits they are able to file," Rickard said. "If we ignore this growing threat and allow their lawsuit-expanding agenda to envelop Congress, Americans will pay an even higher price through lost jobs, higher prices and clogged courtrooms."
The proposals have been woven into a range of bills, including those that deal with homeland security and farm bills.
One proposal that would grant a $1.6 billion tax break to trial lawyers by changing the rules on how expenses incurred during the representation of a contingency fee client are deducted was squeezed into the Renewable Energy and Job Creation Act of 2008.
"The deep pockets of the plaintiffs' trial bar have persuaded some members of Congress that America needs more lawsuits. In addition to fighting back against each individual earmark, we must also uproot the trial bar's stranglehold on this Congress in order to protect American businesses and families from the costs of more lawsuits," Rickard said.

Active but very far from decisive.
This seems to be the general Western intelligence estimate of the communist role in Western European peace movements in general, and of the crucial West German movement in particular.
The communist role might best be characterized as one of amplifying antinuclear sentiment that is already strong among an articulate group of non-communist peace activists. This conclusion emerges from conversations with British, Norwegian, and American sources and high officials both of the new conservative government and the old left-Liberal government in Bonn.
The communist aims are said to be two-fold: (1) keeping the movements one-sidedly critical of Western but not Eastern nuclear weapons (and thus blocking NATO's planned mid-'80s missile deployments), and (2) especially in West Germany, helping the minuscule Communist Party to break out of its political isolation by promoting the popular peace issue.
In line with this, evidence of Soviet and/or native communist party involvement in the Western European antinuclear movements include the expulsion of two Soviet diplomats from Norway and Denmark in 1981 for allegedly passing money to peace demonstrators and the expulsion from the Netherlands the same year of a Tass correspondent who was allegedly involved in mobilizing protestors.
Other indications include a recently leaked Dutch intelligence report of meetings in East Berlin and elsewhere between Soviet and East German officials and peace activists from Dutch churches and trade unions; the highly visible (and perfectly legal) plying of the European antinuclear lecture circuit by Soviet diplomats and journalists; and hefty representation in 1982 in the top council of the key British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) - according to George Miller of the Institute for the Study of Conflict - of communists, ex-communists, and extreme leftists.
CND spokesmen, while not denying some specific identifications of CND activists as present or past communist party members, discount their influence in a mass movement in which Quakers, for example, outnumber communists.
In West Germany, says one government official, ''We have enough information that the peace movement and the Greens are supported by organizational help and some cadres of the DKP (the West German Communist Party).'' He named 50 million to 60 million marks ($20 million to $24 million) as the annual sum East Germany funnels into the West German antinuclear movement directly or through the DKP. This money, he indicated, goes for such things as publicity and transportation costs involved in assembling the hundreds of thousands of demonstrators for major peace rallies.
He immediately added, however, that despite the communists' vigorous efforts, ''It is not easy for them (to get) political influence'' in the rather diffuse movement. Sometimes they are successful and sometimes not, he suggested, concluding, ''I'm sure it's the smallest part of the movement, but the most effective part.''
In Norway, Defense Ministry spokesman Christopher Prebensen warns against any urge to dismiss the whole peace movement as communist-led. ''We find little reason to discredit the genuine sentiments of the antinuclear movement,'' he noted in a telephone interview. ''There is (nuclear) uncertainty, and a lot of people support (communist) views or are parallel to those who are for that policy'' of a nuclear-free zone in Scandinavia.''
It's hard for the public to get a very clear idea of the overall scale of communist influence in the European peace movements. The communists do not advertise their involvement. And in West Germany, at least, the government has been reticent about documenting claims of communist manipulation of the movements. The reason for this reluctance is said to be fear of compromising intelligence agents in East Germany.
Basically, however, officials with access to intelligence reports define Soviet and East German means as both financial and organizational. Money is said to be provided for chartering buses or trains to carry demonstrators to rallies, or for organizing antinuclear arts festivals like the Bochum Festival in West Germany this past September. Experienced organizational cadres are also said to be provided for major rallies, with some of them overt and some covert party members. The object is to amplify existing fear of nuclear war and doubts about US seriousness in negotiating arms control.
Sources add a caveat here in warning against regarding all those who demonstrate primarily against the new NATO nuclear weapons planned for the mid-' 80s as communists or communist dupes. The vast bulk of protesters, they believe, feel no loyalty at all to Moscow, but are moved by a real concern about nuclear war - and doubts about American seriousness in negotiating arms control. This means there is considerable existing sentiment against the new American missiles for the communists to amplify for their own purposes.
On some occasions, such as the 300,000-strong Bonn rally of October 1981, communist organizers are described as staying in the background.
In other events, according to Bonn government sources, communist cadres have played a more open role. This was true of the Krefeld Appeal against new NATO nuclear missiles, according to public reports by the North Rhine Westphalia state Interior Ministry. The Krefeld Appeal, which is now said to have gained 3 million signatures, was one of the first and is still the largest of various antinuclear petitions.
Communists are also identified by government officials as having played a key role in organizing the 400,000-strong June 1982 peace demonstration during President Reagan's visit to Bonn. In this case the issue of communist manipulation became a point of contention between the activists themselves. After a preparatory strategy meeting in April the fledgling environmental and antinuclear party of the Greens broke with their communist co-organizers and publicly accused the communists of railroading the meeting. In particular, they objected to the blocking of any criticism or even discussion of repression in Poland and harassment of the Christian ''Swords into Plowshares'' movement in East Germany.
The Greens' accusations are far from universally accepted within the peace activists' ranks, however. To the Christian organizers of the October 1981 rally - who had deliberately not joined in the June 1982 planning precisely because they feared that any protest during Mr. Reagan's visit might turn anti-American - the Greens' accusations of the communists rang false. The Christian activists regarded the issue of communist influence as a red herring that could only split the peace movement - and as a blatant bid for votes by the Greens.
Beyond consideration of any communist manipulation of these specific events, government agencies in West Germany have publicly identified several individual peace groups as communist-controlled, including the German Peace Union, the German Peace Society/United Opponents of War, and the Committee for Peace, Disarmament, and Cooperation.
The groups have organized no major rallies of their own, and apart from the Krefeld appeal, their influence has been mixed.

Leona Lewis plans Adele duet
Leona Lewis plans Adele duet
Leona Lewis wants to get back to the top of the US charts by duetting with Adele.
The British singer - who got to number one in the US singles chart with 'Bleeding Love' four years ago - wants to raise her profile stateside by collaborating with the 'Someone Like You' hitmaker.
She told Metro newspaper: "They've invited me to perform on US 'X Factor', so that will be exciting.
"What came into my head was a duet with Adele. I think she is incredible. I met her a little while ago. We did 'VH1 Divas' together and I just think she's awesome. She's done so well and her music speaks for itself. That's what it is - just talent."
The 26-year-old beauty has been working on her next album which she says promises a "different sound".
She said: "I've been working in Europe and the US with new producers. It's fresh and it's all coming together with a different sound."
Meanwhile, Adele has turned down a reported £500,000 to appear at three summer shows in London so she can instead hang out with her friends, as she doesn't want her whole life to be spent working.
The told Q magazine: "I've been doing this since I was 18 and if I do it how I could do it, if I worked my a**e off for ten years, I'd miss my whole twenties.
"I think that's where my insecurities have been coming in. What if I come out the other end and I dunno who I am? It'd be horrible.
"You've got to build up relationships. I'm at a point where I'm making my friends for life. I don't wanna forget how to be normal."
The 'Rolling in the Deep' singer added she is not "money-driven", and would be just as happy without a big bank balance.
She added: "I like things now I've got it but I'd still be alive and healthy and a good person if I didn't have money."

Alton Main Street
The following is a press release issued by Alton Main Street:
ALTON | The search for an appropriate solution to the City's underfunded pension obligation is putting a popular community organization at risk. Mayor Brant Walker has proposed removing the funds allocated for Alton Main Street (AMS) — totaling $18,000 — from the City's budget, according to AMS Board President Stacey Loveland.
"The work of AMS contributes to the economic growth and historic preservation of Downtown Alton, and the positive effect of having a thriving Downtown improves the quality of life in the entire community," said Sara McGibany, Executive Director. One of the organization's most notable accomplishments is the rapid growth of the Alton Farmers' and Artisans' Market. That popular event, along with the organization's other activities draw over 25,000 people per year to shop, dine and be entertained in Downtown Alton. AMS has coordinated numerous projects that bring life to the downtown district and improve its appearance, such as the creation of public art and pocket parks.
The network of connections and resources that AMS has built over the years are invaluable time-savers to partners who have shared goals, such as the Miles Davis Memorial Project.
"I believe Sara and the Main Street organization understand the concept of building on existing assets and the need to maintain a welcoming atmosphere to attract visitors," Pat Ackman with the Miles Davis Memorial Project said. "I support Main Street and the services they provide that are making a difference to the community, and hope they are allowed to continue their work."
AMS also lends specialized support to entrepreneurs who are looking to locate in the district, along with assisting with the retention, promotion and expansion of existing businesses in the area, according to McGibany. "We work to attract new businesses and provide an abundance of exposure for small shop owners who have limited advertising budgets," she said. "We also coordinate approximately 3,500 volunteer hours annually, providing services that ease the burden of city government." The current value of volunteer time according to the 2014 Bureau of Labor Statistics is $23.07/hour, bringing the total value of AMS volunteers to more than $80,000.
"This $18,000 cut would do very little to improve the City's budget deficit and it would completely decimate an organization that does nothing but great things for our community," Alderman Jim Ryan said.
The "Save Main Street" campaign is now underway, educating citizens who would like to express their opposition to this cut before the Alton City Council's Committee of the Whole meeting on Monday, June 22nd at 7:00 p.m. when they will discuss the proposed cuts. "Community support is crucial to saving this treasured program," Loveland said. "The most impactful thing you can do is to call your Alderman before June 22nd and ask them to keep Alton Main Street in the City of Alton's budget. Also, please come out to the City Council meeting on Wed, June 24th at 7:30 to demonstrate your support on the day that the votes will be cast."
Besides contacting their Alderpeople, community members can also support AMS by signing an online petition, spreading the word about the campaign via social media or donating to AMS. Full details and instructions can be found at: www.DowntownAlton.com/SaveMainStreet. Since 1995, Alton Main Street (formerly known as Alton Marketplace) has been part of the Illinois Main Street program, which is a community based approach used successfully all over the nation to maximize downtown revitalization efforts. Alton Main Street's mission is to engage the community in the continued renewal of our historic downtown district and Mississippi River heritage by cultivating an attractive center of economic and social activity.

American painter Reubens Peale 1784-1865
If you visit this blog regularly, you know that I favor portraits over other paintings. In the case of Reubens Peale, the portraits are of Reubens, not by him. Reubens Peale was the 4th son of Charles Willson Peale. Rubens had weak eyes &, unlike most of his siblings, did not set out to be an artist. He traveled with the family in 1802 to Britain, returning in 1803, to attend classes at the University of Pennsylvania. He became Director of his father's museum in Philadelphia from 1810 to 1821, and then of the Peale Museum in Baltimore, with his brother, Rembrandt Peale. He opened his own museum in New York in 1825, (along with the opening of the Erie Canal). By 1840, Peale changed the name to the New York Museum of Natural History & Science. The Panic of 1837 sent his museum into debt, as it competed with the American Museum, of P.T. Barnum. Rubens sold his entire collection to Barnum in 1843. In October 1855, he turned to still life painting, as an extension of his interest in natural history. In 1864, he returned to Philadelphia, and studied landscape painting with Edward Moran. In the last 10 years of his life, he produced 130 paintings.

Anytime there is a war or natural disaster, huge populations of people are at risk. But in war-torn countries or places facing Mother Nature's wrath, nobody is more vulnerable than children.
That's why UNICEF is petitioning British Prime Minister David Cameron before the first-ever World Humanitarian Summit in May. In their petition, they ask that the prime minister make protecting children from violence a priority at the summit.
"Children are facing more devastating wars and disasters than ever before," the petition reads. "Children are being killed while studying in the classroom. They are being forced to become soldiers. Many have been orphaned by emergencies. Whilst protecting children from violence is lifesaving in emergencies, just like water, shelter and medicine, it isn't prioritised in the same way."
In the video below, UNICEF shows what some of these children's lives might look like in real life, and how quickly things can change. Watch the video and, if you decide you want to help, you can sign the petition here.

I know that it might seem that I have been "hard" on Microsoft recently. But it's right to document and discuss problems when they arise, which is what happened with the Outlook Web App bug that can affect item retention for mailboxes under hold and the now-resolved hybrid connectivity and co-existence issues that have shown up for Exchange 2013 CU6. Sorry guys, I'd like to be more positive about my favorite email server, but it's been difficult recently.
So in an attempt to move away from negative vibes, let's consider how things have evolved since April's Microsoft Exchange Conference and the many wonderful things then promised for Office 365 as described in Microsoft's "Evolution of Email" post. Those of us who use Office 365 will, of course, have no opportunity to vote on the matter because we have to accept what and when "the service" delivers. This is part of the devil's pact that you sign when you go "all in" with cloud services. The good thing is that innovation happens at a rapid pace; the bad is that you have no control.
Yet control is a really big concern for many CIOs. Terry Myerson, who used to run Exchange development and is now in charge of all operating systems, admitted this when he discussed the different cadences of delivery during an interview with Mary Jo Foley. Essentially, whereas some users (like Terry's 12 year old son) can consume new features as soon as Microsoft can provide them, other users, especially those in the enterprise space, value stability and don't like it when change is forced upon them. This is one reason why the demise of the trio of Windows XP, Office 2003, and Exchange 2003 brought such pain to enterprises: these applications did the job and people would have been quite happy to remain using them if Microsoft would have supported the software for longer.
In short, those who run IT services for large companies like to know what they are dealing with because, at the end of the day, they are responsible for delivery of IT to end users. In some examples, even very large companies are able to deal with the changing landscape the cloud, but in others, the prospect of losing control is one factor that stops them moving to use Office 365, Azure, and other cloud services.
Which brings me to the point that Microsoft has a lot of these customers and they have to be helped, supported, and kept interested or else the connection that exists between Microsoft and these customers might be broken. And that might mean that customers embrace other choices, which would be bad for Microsoft's bottom line.
New software releases are the weapon used to keep customers who eschew the cloud happy. Sheer economics (like maintaining the income flow from enterprise agreements and support contracts from a very substantial on-premises installed base) mean that Microsoft has to produce new versions of on-premises software applications at regular intervals. This allows Microsoft to meet customer expectations and satisfy the agreements that were made, possibly a long time ago when cloud services were so much vaporware.
A new software release also helps customers to manage IT. For years, we have been educated to expect on-premises releases to follow a predictable lifecycle that eventually brings each version to a natural end-of-support state. Desktop and server refreshes are often associated with major server software releases in a cadence that IT departments know how to manage, not just in terms of the technology but also in the more subtle art of user preparation and management.
Releasing new software for an on-premises product reinforces customer loyalty and prevents them looking elsewhere for replacement technology. The new version invariably comes complete with sufficient new features to make everyone happy, even if nowadays those new features have been available in the cloud for several months past.
A new on-premises release for a major product like Exchange is still a very big thing for both Microsoft and its customers, at least those who like to exert some control over IT. This is why we will see Exchange 2016, or whatever the release will be called (the engineers will call it Exchange 16 because Exchange 2013 is Exchange 15), along with Office 2016, SharePoint 2016, etc. in a coordinated and much-hyped exercise sometime toward the end of 2015. Heck, we'll even know how good the new features included in Exchange 2016 really are because we will have the chance to use them for months inside Office 365 before beta versions of Exchange 2016 appear outside Microsoft.
Assuming that Microsoft gets its current quality issues under control, Exchange 2016 will keep everyone happy because the three-year release cycle has been maintained. We can sleep soundly in our beds knowing that Exchange 2016 will be supported until 2026 or thereabouts.
P.S. Congratulations to Exchange MVP Steve Goodman and his wife Lisa on the birth of their daughter Olivia Faith today. Steve, you have a great excuse not to be at Exchange Connections with the rest of the MVP gang, but we shall miss your smiling presence there.

3 Federal European Industrial Science and Research (European Union)
Team Principal:
Nicolo Testa ()
Race for E-Unity
Never quite the unique presence that AG-Systems always was, nor the overachievers its progeny Auricom and Qirex were, FEISAR has always been out of the limelight, a shame for a team that has participated in every single season of AntiGravity Racing since its inception and taken home four world titles in the constructors championship and five pilots championships. FEISAR has been described as both one of the great pillars that holds up AntiGravity racing and one of the relics of a bygone age, a failure amongst the teams with almost one of the worst race-to-wins ratios on the grid. But as much as some may mock FEISARs sometimes troubled results and inconsistent ship development, every year they turn out a solid ship that has rarely fallen too far back in the pack to become unrecognisable.
FEISAR began life as FEAR the Foundation for European Anti-gravity Research, the famous institution that Pierre Belmondo worked at, and created his first working prototypes of his AG craft before the first ever official unveiling of one of their machines. And when he had finally seen off the last of his detractors and was being hailed as a new liberator of man, freeing them from gravity by such brutal means as propellers and jet engines, he returned to work there at its commercial business arm with an intent on keeping his beloved technology out of the hands of the money-driven and the greedy. (Perhaps ironically, considering the name.)
When Japanese investors offered to buy out the commercial arm of FEAR and move it to Japan, perhaps it told something about how Pierre Belmondo considered the Europeans he worked with when he agreed and shipped his entire operation to Tokyo to become AG-Systems. Japan, after all, had been one of only three countries to refuse the higher tax on petrol that had almost resulted in the end of all Belmondos work. Without their best and brightest, FEAR began to suffer.
Without the driving force of Belmondo, there was no direction to the team and it began to fracture and shatter. In the end, what had begun as a single scientific entity was taken over by the European Federation, the organisation that had evolved from the European Union many years before. With the announcement of the F3600 racing league, they decided that FEAR would be better suited for building racing craft as a single European squad to take the fight to AG-Systems, and later Qirex and Auricom.
The only problem was that none of the Federation could quite agree on how to go about setting up the development plants and factory locations. The central base and research facility had been near Grenoble in France, but there were a myriad of other locations that were setting up around Europe. In the end, the infamous plans of setting up various locations and revolving the squad about them was set up to the anger of most actual scientists who didnt agree with the pandering to European Unity idea. France was still the centre of technology and theoretical physics, but the ion drives were built in SantAgata, Italy. The Aerodynamics plant was in Vantaa, Finland, pilot training centres were located in Stuttgart, Germany and the airbrake plant was in Dover, United Kingdom.
This led to slow development, and often arguments in team between scientists, engineers and Eurocrats alike. The only rocks in the organisation were the pilots. While the other teams sought hard and experienced pilots for their craft, FEISAR took a less serious approach to their picking of pilots and dozens of hopefuls got to practice and try out the European ships behind Sofia De La Rente and Paul Jackson. It was mostly because of this that the other three teams had such a wealth of talent to pick from after they became disenchanted with FEISAR. All the F5000 champions for each class were initially linked with FEISAR at some point Stefan Geist of Qirex, who went on to win the Phantom series was an actual FEISAR pilot for the Vector and Venom series before he was promoted to a full race seat at the Russian squad.
FEISAR gained ground throughout these races though, and slowly the European squad eased themselves up the ranking thanks to their excellent handling capabilities. They took their first championship in the first Venom league of the F7200 with Rocco Tiepolo and there was widespread rejoicing in the many factories. That is, save for the Dover factory which had been taken over by Icaras. They won again in the second Rapier league with a name who would become more to some people Wolfgang Van-Uber.
Wolfgang left FEISAR soon after the end of F7200 and took the Stuttgart factory for himself. With the loss of the aerodynamics plant in Vantaa to Xios, FEISAR knew they were losing ground and not even the reclamation of the Dover plant was enough to keep the teams spirit up at first.
What none of them had reckoned on though was that the F9000 was a big shake-up. A very big shake-up. The twisting tracks and brand new methods of racing meant that the brighter young pilots adapted faster and FEISAR finished runner up to Piranha in the first (Chronos) league. They took the Tethys league with Daniel Johnson, breaking Piranhss 3-championship streak, but after that they seemed to fade away. After the Crius league, the first AntiGravity races without an Auricom on the starting grid, FEISAR dropped out and began to focus on commercial transport in the same way Auricom was doing. Though not as reliable as their American counterparts, FEISAR found good work in making private grav-cabs and even now from Lisbon to Vilnus you can flag down blue and yellow taxis. When the time came to start the new project for FX150 however, the normally company-driven focus of FEISAR was smashed aside by a new man.
Nicolo Testa had been a FEISAR fan for all his life, but had only come to work for the company in the middle of its hiatus from racing, working on the taxi business. He had been noted many times for his impatience, his temper and his desire to go beyond the boundaries. His designs were radical and imaginative, and when explaining his theories to his superiors he would speak at length, drawing great diagrams and explaining in depth. He was the perfect man to be the Team Principal of the resurrected FEISAR and as soon as his bosses gave him a modicum of autonomy, he was working like a man possessed.
FEISAR began to centre around the Bologna-based engine facility, eschewing some of the other locations that had been taken by other teams, though they continued working at Dover until it was taken once more by Icaras. Testa is known as a fierce and impassioned leader, but his success is clear for all to see A victory for Thanos Ikrausus, Ezio DiRosso and Latoya Ruchiov to take the FX350 trophy certainly leaves a good impression. He is determined to see the next ships do even better than the narrow victory they won over Icaras that season
Allies: Triakis, Harimau
Rivals: Icaras, (Goteki 45?)
Arch Rivals: EG-X
Searching AntiGravity Racing Archives for subject EG-X stolen FEISAR designs
Error records have been expunged. Alpha-level security in place. Data locking requested by Nat-*static*-o, approved by AntiGravity Race Commissioner Tarvus Orcorus
Ship Details:
Like AG-Systems, FEISARs Fury ship suffers from an alarming lack of development time as the European squad desperately played catch-up in the latter part of the FX400 season to keep pace with Harimau and AG-Systems, and ward off the unwelcome attention of Icaras nipping at their heels. As the FX500 specifications state the enlarged dimensions of the ships necessary, it looks like FEISAR mostly just enlarged their blueprints. Why change a winning formula after all?
FEISAR-X5-Alpha, codenamed the Octavian in keeping with Nicolo Testas habit of naming FX FEISARs after Roman generals and emperors, has a more sophisticated airbrake system than its predecessors X3.5 and 4 to keep with an enlarged engine capacity and some minor tweaks to the shielding capabilities. A new wind tunnel in Italy has helped immensely with the shape and the new FEISAR is much more dangerous aerodynamically. One weak point is targeting systems FEISAR pilots have said they have difficulty with locking onto allied ships and their attempts at laying mines in strategic positions tend to end up messy.
Lead Pilot Ezio DiRosso ()
Often, a pilot will begin their career with FEISAR only to move on when they have learnt the skills to be a pilot the hard way the European team is famous for their poor management skills, but twice, a pilot will emerge that is determined to take FEISAR to the top and refuses potentially better offers with the loyalty to their starting squad. Daniel Johnson was one such man during the days of the F9000 and despite his retirement from racing now, he has many positive things to say about his spiritual successor, a man with similar goals for FEISAR.
Ezio was one of the first men to apply for the position of a race pilot with the announcement of the FX150 racing league, and his application seemed to stand out despite one or two references to car and ship stealing in his native SanAtagia. The Italian did not have far to move to FEISARs Italian stronghold where the engines were made in a factory that in times past had made the petrol engines for a long-forgotten prestige ground car company in Bologna. After proving himself to the thruster department in several simulators and a run in the FS-9K-VII ship left over from the F9000 league, the Roman officials in the mess that is FEISARs head office pushed and lobbied until Ezio was the second pilot for the initial series, the old hand Thanos Ikrausus of Greece having been on the cards for several months now. With an experienced older pilot who had flown in the final days of the F9000 and a young hotshot, FEISAR took to the new league and Ezio showed off just why he deserved the place.
A smooth and skilled pilot, Ezios hawk-eyes were able to pick up danger ahead by miles and though his craft couldnt catch the powerful Auricom ship or the nimble Assegai in the first league, it outperformed the much more technologically advanced AG-Systems, and did so again when the weapons were turned on and celebrated a second place in the championship. It took longer for his team to rise up to the challenge in the FX350 and take victory over Icaras, a fight that he said added about five years to his life. He attributed his victory to his mentor Ikrausus, who in turn declared Ezio to be a perfect launching point for FEISARs future while he had an easy retirement after the FX400.
Ezios determination to match his team principals is legendary and there is little the Milanese pilot cant put his mind to and make the craft do. His looks have also helped when publicity shots or advertising campaigns are needed, though to the despair of a lot of fans around the globe, Ezio has appeared recently with an engagement ring on his finger. He stays coy about who he is betrothed to though, and not even Float Nations best spies have found out.
Second Pilot Latoya Ruchiov ()
Last years third pilot, Latoya moves up with the advent of the FX500 season into a place of a great deal more responsibility with the departure of Thanos Ikrausus, the Greek expert who had been no more than a trainee pilot at the time of FEISAR pulling out of the F9000.
Latoya was one of the many dozens of young hot-shots who signed up to the FEISAR Study programme when the FX150 was re-announced, though while she did well to get through some of the initial tests she was found wanting in some of the later challenges. She ended up on an immensely extensive list of trainee pilots for the reserve FEISAR seat. Many of these pilots ended up leaving FEISAR for other squads to act as development pilots, one of which was none other than Thierry Caluroso, now twice world champion for AG-Systems.
When the FX350 finally allowed a third pilot, Latoya was one of very few pilots still loyal to the squad that had taken her in despite rumours of an offer from Qirex. The Euro squad eventually went for the Scottish pilot Heather McKellen, leaving the Hungarian as a second reserve pilot. It meant that she was given a ringside seat into the workings of how FEISAR treated its pilots by her own admission somewhat poorly. McKellen famously had been shaken many times by the rudeness and brusqueness of the team and especially with Testas do-or-die approach to racing she didnt seem to take well to the hyper-professional new FEISAR.
The dismissive nature of FEISARs pilot correspondents caused Latoyas fellow reserve pilot to leave, giving her a sudden burst in responsibility. It seemed that while she appeared professional before the team, an interview with Heather McKellen stated that she wouldnt have been able to finish the FX350 without the support Latoya gave her when she needed it. When the treatment continued into FX400, McKellen left the team and Ruchiov was forced into her place in short notice. Despite the kindness shed shown to her fellow female pilot, she had lost none of the drive that FEISAR wanted and began slamming home a series of mid-field results with an eventual win at Orcus White for the first time. It was enough to keep her on for FX500, though in his retirement Thanos said that he didnt envy Latoyas new position. It was make-or-break with her and FEISAR after all.
Third Pilot Park So-Gun ()
A last-minute defector from Goteki 45, So-Gun stunned quite a few people when he was presented along with the teams new craft wearing the blue and yellow, most of all the members of his old team, who nearly exploded at the sight. Rumours had abounded that the Korean was considering leaving Goteki 45 last year, but nobody had predicted that hed move to a team for beginners once more.
As the first ever champion of the JX200 league for Van-Uber, he was given a seat for the FX350 league with the Makana-based squad, and impressed many with his skills, showing that he could hold his own and occasionally he even surpassed his team mates in terms of time trials and speed laps. His race technique was sometimes criticised and he flew into rages easily when the race didnt go his way which it often didnt at the Chenghou Project.
The reason for his leaving Goteki is said to have been a fall out with his fellow team-members rather than with the actual administration of Goteki 45. Even so, people are asking why if hes looking for a more personable team he goes to FEISAR as opposed to somewhere like Icaras or even Mirage. The question of whether he will settle into the team and the ship is no issue he is more than capable of flying, that much is unquestionable. What is an issue is his team choice and its believed unlikely that he will see the season through to the end in the FEISAR.

VideoLan's VLC media player is a real box of tricks. We've already established The VLC Media Player - Does it Really Play Everything? The VLC Media Player - Does it Really Play Everything? Read More that it pretty much plays everything, requires little in the way of system resources and is just as effective on a Windows operating system as it is on Mac or Linux.
If you've not used VLC in the past (and are desperate for a decent media solution) then I'd urge you to download it and give it a go. Those of you who are already using VLC might be surprised to know there's a few features that don't really get the recognition they deserve.
Here are a few VLC tips and tricks that will hopefully help you get more use and enjoyment from VLC.
Streaming Capabilities
One use for VLC that not many users are too familiar with is its capacity as a network streaming workhorse. As you can see from the diagram below, using VLC as a streaming solution for your media gives you one of the best cross-compatible media sharing setups around, especially useful if you have a variety of PCs and operating systems in your household.
If you're looking to stream video from your home PC whilst you're away then you can also set VLC to stream to the Internet. Dont forget to sort out your DNS settings Connect To Your Home PCs From Anywhere With DynDNS Connect To Your Home PCs From Anywhere With DynDNS Read More beforehand for a pain-free connection!
If you're wondering how to get the most out of VLC's streaming abilities, check out Angela's detailed article Streaming Services: A Whole New Side To VLC Player You Probably Didn't Know About Streaming Services: A Whole New Side To VLC Player You Probably Didn't Know About Read More .
Rip & Transcode Videos
Whilst there are a number of good, free video converters 5 Easy-to-use Freeware Video Converters 5 Easy-to-use Freeware Video Converters Read More , why download even more software when you can already do it with VLC? Not only can VLC be used to convert video from one format to another, but it can also be used to rip disc-based media (video or music), live streams (television, cable, satellite) or network streams to file.
To get started open VLC and click Media then Convert/Save. You'll be presented with a dialogue which allows you to choose between converting, ripping and saving to file. Once you've added source media (to record from) click Convert/Save.
The next window allows you to choose encoding settings such as codecs and output location. Don't forget to have patience, transcoding video is resource-intensive and can take a while (regardless of how much the software costs).
Internet Radio & Podcast Management
Reaffirming its role as a multi-use media player, VLC also contains in-built Internet radio listings and a podcast How To Make Your Own Podcast For Free How To Make Your Own Podcast For Free Read More aid to boot. Simply open your Playlist and select Internet on the left. You should then see a number of services pop up including Icecast Radio and Jamendo Selections. It's all free, and there's full albums available if that's your thing.
If you'd like VLC to keep a track of podcasts then hover Podcasts in the Playlist and click on the plus symbol "+" that appears. Enter the podcast's URL to add it to your database.
Video Effects
Partly useful, partly there for fun; there's plenty you can do to your video files with VLC to spice things up a bit. Whilst playing a video (this works in real time) click Tools and then Effects and Filters to open the adjustments window.
Choose Video Effects from the first tab, and have a play around. You can adjust useful settings like gamma, brightness and hue should you have a poor-quality (too dark, bad white balance) video file. The other tabs are mostly reserved for fun, with crazy psychedelic and water effects to choose from as well as video rotation, text and logo overlay options.
If you've ever wanted, needed or tried to take a still image of a video then you may have had issues using the usual "print screen" methods. Luckily VLC features the ability to take a snapshot and save to .PNG format in a location of your choice.
You can either pause, jog and find the exact scene you want or take your shot during playback. With a video open in VLC, choose Video then Snapshot (or right click on the video and use the context menu). VLC will then show a brief overlay of the snapshot in the top left, and the snapshot will be saved to the location defined in Preferences then Video under Snapshot.
Play Video as ASCII Output
Last on the list as it has absolutely no real use, but will probably bring a grin to your face nonetheless. In VLC choose Tools then Preferences and click on Video. Under Output choose ASCII -art video output and click Save.
Now play a video and enjoy the amazing spectacle that is moving ASCII art. Useless, but fun!

VLC will not play .wvm.
VLC is D bestestsys love that u can Play Video as ASCII Output.... Very Geeky "going to capture a picture of myself in ASCII... because i can and im a geek....
I love the skin of Tim, what is the name of the skin? Martin
yeah i use it...pretty good but i dont like it's playlist
This isn't a trick per se, but a feature that's useful to students of foreign language. You can repeat a sentence over and over until it's seared into your brain. And change its speed to boot. http://www.fanhow.com/knowhow:...
I used to have to connect a tape end to end and loop it around to have it do this. Didn't work too well.

I used to have to connect a tape end to end and loop it around to have it do this. Didn't work too well.
Can play any region code!
Are these features available in the MAC version of VLC? I have VLC v 1.1.9 and most of these are not present!
The features list on the Video Lan homepage doesn't reveal major difference between features supported on Windows and Mac, so I would think that these features are available.
Why don't you try it and report back?
I have used VLC for years - it basically saves the bacon everytime you come across a dodgy codec somewhere.
One feature of VLC not mentioned in this article is its ability to screen TV if you have a TV Card in your PC. All you need is to have a channels.conf file in your folder. Then it is simply File, Load and you load channels.conf and choose what channel you want to watch. If you are unsure on how to setup a channels.conf file just google it. i use Linux and used wscan to build the file - took all of about 2 minutes here in Perth Western Australia. it works a treat and is so darned fast.
Every time I read something about VLC, I find out something else it can do. It certainly is an impressive utility.
Uninstalled for UM Player. There's something I never liked about VLC but can't put a finger on it.
give it another try!
I prefer MPC-HD too. But VLC is a great back-up player. BTW, in your 2nd tip, you forgot to mention that you can also capture audio/video from your webcam. It's rudimentary but works in a pinch.
VLC rocks. Been using MPC-HD lately, but it isn't as much lighter as this little player.
I use KMPlayer now. I used VLC but the interface isnt nice and pretty
there's bunch "nice and pretty" VLC skins for download
KMPLayer is good but I find it a bit heavy on resources. Also it used to hang for me when opening high def videos.
I love vlc, using it mainly for streaming radio stations. I did not know about the tricks, so thanks for them. Will check out a few of them
Same here. You can use its command line kung fu to schedule a task that records your favourite radio programs automatically.
Such a powerful tool VLC is, "Play Video as ASCII Output" seemed to be of amusement.

Jose Ferreira founded Knewton in 2008. Previously, Jose served as an executive at Kaplan, where he led a company-wide re-engineering effort called "Project Footprint" that created the modern Kaplan course. He also developed early "adaptive learning" applications, launching courses that produced unique study plans tailored to each individual student.
Ferreira is the only person ever to have developed test prep strategies so effective that Education Testing Services (ETS) was forced to remove an entire question type from an exam, admitting that he "broke the code." He also reversed-engineered the scoring algorithms and question pools behind computerized tests, forcing massive revisions that ultimately improved the tests' quality. His constant test-beating activities earned him frequent mention in the press, and the moniker "the antichrist" at the Education Testing Services.
Beyond test prep, Jose previously served as a derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs and a Partner at New Atlantic Ventures (formerly Draper Atlantic), investing in new media and SaaS companies. He was also a strategist on John Kerry's presidential campaign, where he focused on brand strategy, this and that (you need to ask him about it). Jose graduated from Carleton College with a B.A. in Philosophy, and received his MBA from Harvard Business School.

Graziano and Renato Moro Pigatto have loved beauty since they were born. As a result, the two natural born perfectionists were inevitably led into the world of fashion. Their collaboration as owners of fashion design houses helped them acquire considerable know-how in this field. Their creativity gave birth to many of the most important phenomena of the fashion world during the 1990's and early 2000's, always characterized by a spirit of irony. The two designers' communication skills are expressed in all aspects of their lifestyle, filling it with their natural enthusiasm.
Established in 2009, Linvin is the US and Canadian distributor for the Design of Love collection and is the sister company of Fabulous & Baroque along with other finer brands and products. LINVIN is fast on its way to quickly becoming a leader in the high end, eclectic furnishings.
Design of Love products use plastic materials (polyethylene), which reduces the use of living matter, ie trees, which are difficult and time-consuming to replace. Design of Love products are easy to recycle.
Authentic Design of Love products are easy to clean and require only simple care to remain in excellent condition. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth with soap and water. Do not use acetone, trichloroethylene, ammonia or any other corrosive plastic cleaners. Do not use anything with ethyl alcohol, which makes the surface dull, abrasive solvents, cleaning powders, steel wool or rough sponges.
Do not drag objects across the surface, even if it has a scratch resistant finish, since sharp objects can damage the plastic just as they would most other finishes. Do not place anything hot directly on the product. Always use a cloth or trivet as a heat barrier.
Design of Love products are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months from delivery to the original delivery location under normal use and under conditions for which the items were designed. Design of Love's responsibility is limited to replacing or repairing, at our discretion, merchandise which proves upon our inspection to be defective.
It is your responsibility, prior to placing an order, to determine whether our products are suitable for your intended use. Design of Love makes no warranties of merchantability or fitness for any particular use or arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
