Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests Customized Topo Maps and Aerial Photos Outdoor Gear and Clothing
State Forest land provides clean water, recreational opportunities, disease and insect free habitat for plants and wildlife and wonderful places to find solitude. The state's forests continue to provide high quality timber and with proper management will ensure that Pennsylvania's vast forest resources continue to provide benefits for future generations.
Attractions - From the sandy beaches of Presque Isle State Park in Erie County to the gorgeous waterfalls of Ricketts Glen in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania's 116 state parks offer natural beauty, outdoor recreation, rich history and environmental education to about 38 million visitors each year. For more than 100 years, the Bureau of State Parks has managed and promoted Pennsylvania's state parks, which now cover more than 283,000 acres of beautiful lands.
Recreation - Pennsylvania's state park system offers visitors year-round recreational enjoyment with its more than 7,000 camping sites, nearly 34,000 acres of fresh water lakes, 30,000+ picnic tables, nearly 300 cabins and more than 1,000 miles of trails. With opportunities for swimming, camping, fishing, hunting, skiing, biking and many other outdoor activities, there's something for everyone in Pennsylvania's state parks.
The Bureau of State Forests offer a vast network of trails and roads to provide hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling opportunities for millions of visitors each year. The state forests are also used extensively for hunting, fishing, sightseeing, bird-watching and wildlife viewing.
Climate - Pennsylvania has four distinct seasons and recreationists can find good in each one. Summer is usually hot and humid often extending from late May into September. Expect temperatures in the southeastern part of the state to reach 90 degrees F frequently. Temperatures in the Northern and western areas of the state are slightly cooler. Summer lows usually don't dip below 60 degrees F.
Winter temperatures average between 25 degrees and 45 degrees F in southeastern Pennsylvania. The west and mountains receive colder temperatures that average between -10 degrees and 35 degrees F. Spring and fall are excellent times to visit the state as temperatures are mild with little humidity. Spring brings a variety of wildflowers and shrubs into bloom and fall color displays of deciduous trees draw many to the forests of the state.
Location - Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests are found in each travel region of the Commonwealth, many of which are only a distance of 25 miles from each other.

I hate it when bands re-release material to fulfill contractual obligations, and this cd is one of the worst examples of this. It does have two new songs, but the rest of the album is split between live songs we already heard on Rude Awakening and songs from the sub-par The World Needs a Hero. Both of these are best reviewed n their respective original albums, so I'll focus on the new songs.
Time/Use the Man showcases the rarely-heard acoustic skills of Dave Mustaine. Time was one of the bright spots on Risk, and it translates well to a live setting. Use the Man was the third single from Cryptic Writings and has been a concert mainstay ever since, and this rendition is solid. Also, the acoustic tone on this little medley is simply beautiful.
The Conjuring is my favorite song played during the 2001 tour that wasn't included on Rude Awakening, and I am happy to finally have a professionally-recorded copy of it. The instruments sound great on this one, though Dave's voice seems a bit strained, but overall this track is a worthy inclusion.
The bottom line, though, is that buying this release means paying 12-15 bucks for two songs. Only get it if you are a Megadeth completist or if you have particular affections for the new songs.

We require a minimum of 3 years experience for Acute Care work, and 2 years experience transcribing for a specialty practice, clinic, surgery center, etc. Production environment experience essential. This is a major metropolitan market with primarily teaching institutions, and therefore, some ESLs will be encountered. Since all our docs are affiliated with a teaching facility, with very technical surgeries and diagnoses, the IC is required to have the skill and ability to transcribe a variety of disciplines every single day. Doctor practice work demands excellent skill in grammar and spelling, as well as the love of meticulous attention to detail.
There is NO exclusivity required to be an IC for Phoenix MedCom. We fully expect our IC's to contract with other services. IC's must submit a business card to Phoenix showing they are a medical transcription contractor.
As an Independent Contractor, you determine the volume of work that you
contract for. We have never experienced a prolonged work shortage, so you
can type to whatever limits you set for yourself. We have work 24/7.
We do not over-assign an account, so there's no fighting to get your
lines. You will have the opportunity to transcribe specific accounts.
However, to achieve a significantly high volume, you will need to
type more than one account.
We have a testing site and all applicants are tested using the same
standards. You will have to achieve a significantly high score on this test
to ensure that you will be able to easily transcribe the work provided
without a struggle daily to achieve your lines and to provide a quality
report. Typos are heavily weighed, as are drug misspellings and common term
misspellings. The test is taken on line, and the site includes instructions
for downloading the voice and playing it through your sound card or a wave
COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS: The majority of our work is done utilizing our internet-
based program, which requires that you have High Speed Internet Access.

Kevin Ellison joined his joint-top scorer Jack Redshaw and midfielder Ryan Williams in committing to the Shrimps when he put pen to paper on a renewed deal ahead of the 3-0 win over Rochdale.
Roche, whose own deal runs until the end of next season, told Press Association Sport: "It's very encouraging.
"We're in a position this season where we've got quite a lot of players out of contract and, if you look at other clubs around the league, a lot of clubs have said they're not looking to sign up players until the end of the season.
"So the fact that we've got three of our big players on board early doors is a real bonus for next season."
Ellison celebrated his contract extension with a spectacular 35-year volley against Dale - a strike that left Roche astonished.
He added: "It's the best goal I've ever seen live. As he was about to hit it, in my head I was thinking 'what are you doing? There's no way you'll score from there'.
"But as soon as it left his foot there was only one place it was going and that was the top corner rather than over the stand."

Outside of airbag problems being reported to NHTSA, this is about as dependable a car as you'll find. But good luck finding one; owners say they want a new car, but can't justify trading in their Corolla because the darn thing just keeps rolling.

Mike Brown: Popovich should have 'gazillion' coaching awards
May 1st, 2012, 7:44 pm by JANIS CARR, OCREGISTER.COMMike Brown spent three years as an assistant for San Antonio's Gregg Popovich, watching and learning the game from the longtime Spurs coach. Nine years later, he still considers Popovich a mentor and will seek out his advice.
So it wasn't a huge surprise to Brown that Popovich won his second Red Auerbach Trophy as the 2011-12 NBA Coach of the Year award Tuesday. Popovich, who previously won the honor in 2002-03, totaled 467 points, including 77 first-place votes, from a panel of 119 sportswriters and broadcasters. If it was up to Brown, Popovich would win the award every season.
"In my opinion, he should have a gazillion of them with what he's done with that team," Brown said. "... I couldn't be happier for him."
Brown said working for Popovich was "like going to school because you learn so much." He credits Popovich with much of his success as a head coach in Cleveland and with the Lakers. But he didn't just learn Xs and Os.
"Pop's people skills are off the charts," Brown said. "Whether it's the people in the front office or the players 1-15, he's great. You can try to copy it the best you can, but you can't because he is the best at it."

Mitt Romney brings campaign back to New Hampshire on last weekend before voting
NEWINGTON, N.H. – Chastising President Obama for urging supporters to vote out of "revenge," Mitt Romney rallied a chilled crowd on Saturday morning with pledges to form an effective, bipartisan coalition on Capitol Hill if he is elected on Tuesday.
"Vote for revenge?" Romney asked an estimated 2,000 people on the tarmac at Portsmouth International Airport. "Here's what I want to tell you: Vote for love of country."
The previous day, Obama had told supporters in Ohio to vote, not just boo at the mention of Romney's name. "Voting is the best revenge," he said.
Flanked by his wife, Ann, the former Massachusetts governor began a whirlwind finale to his long campaign by thanking New Hampshire voters for helping him become the GOP presidential candidate.
"New Hampshire got me the Republican nomination, and New Hampshire is going to get me the White House," Romney said in the first of four stops in three swing states on Saturday.
Romney hit familiar Republican themes as he exhorted the crowd in a 15-minute stump speech on a blustery morning.
"President Obama came into office with so many promises and has fallen so short," he said, assailing Obama as "divisive" and attacking his record on the deficit, health costs, education, and energy.
"Talk is cheap, a record is real and takes hard work, and he has not been able to accomplish it," said Romney, who offered his one term as governor as a contrasting example of cooperation that turned a budget deficit into a surplus.
"That kind of bipartisanship finally has to be brought to Washington, and I will," Romney said.
The Obama campaign countered quickly, echoing criticism from some Democratic lawmakers in Massachusetts that Romney had shunned them.
"Mitt Romney can't be trusted to work across the aisle as president because he's never done it before. Despite his claims in the final days of this race, Romney refused to work with Democrats as governor," said Lis Smith, an Obama campaign spokeswoman. "And throughout this campaign, he has shown himself to be too weak to stand up to the far-right wing of the Republican Party."
Romney, however, said that a second Obama term would produce more of the same: more legislative gridlock, another budget crisis, and a business-hostile economic climate.
"We'll continue to see the war on oil and gas," added Romney, who pledged to end American dependence on foreign energy.
In addition, he said, a Romney presidency also would make the needs of students the top priority of education. "The teachers union is going to have to go behind," Romney said to applause.
"It's time we lead America to a better place," Romney said. "I've got a clear and unequivocal message for you: America is about to come roaring back."
Romney kicked off the final, frenetic weekend of the campaign by urging his supporters to vote in a swing state whose four electoral votes could prove critical in a close national race. The latest WMUR Granite State Poll, released by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center on Oct. 22, showed Obama leading, 49 percent to 41.
Signaling that the campaign is nearing an end, Romney paid tribute to the voters he has met around the nation.
"It's not just the size of the crowds. It's the conviction and compassion in the hearts of the people," Romney said. "It's made me strive to be more worthy of the support I have received across the country and to campaign as I would govern, to speak for the aspirations of all Americans, not just some Americans."
After the rally, Romney left for swing-state appearances in Dubuque, Iowa; Colorado Springs; and Englewood, Colo. Romney was scheduled to return to New Hampshire on Monday for an election eve speech in Manchester.
Obama is scheduled to appear Sunday in Concord with former President Bill Clinton.
Before Saturday's rally, standing in the morning chill, Romney supporters said that his business skills are needed to fix the country's economic problems.
"I like the fact he's worked in the private sector," said Alex Gatzoulis, 31, an attorney from Manchester. Gatzoulis stood beside his 74-year-old father, George, who said his personal finances were devastated by the 2008 financial crash.
"I mean, his plan makes sense," the elder Gatzoulis said of Romney. "Obama is the same thing – more debt."
The family, his son said, has "been staying afloat, but it hasn't really gotten better for us."
Cathy Wiles, 56, who drove to the rally from South Portland, Maine, was blunt. "We're on a path to destruction if we don't do something," Wiles said. "It's all about the kids right now."
That theme was echoed by US Senator Kelly Ayotte, a New Hampshire Republican who introduced Romney.
"I believe this is the most important election of my lifetime," Ayotte told the crowd. "I am the mother of an 8-year-old and a 5-year-old. This is not just about us. This is about what kind of America we will leave for our children."

Hi, acupressure works but for specific things and locations on the body. It's a bit like asking does Pilates work. Yes but it won't fix a specific underlying problem unless it is a specific exercise to target an area. My professional opinion is these things are ok but do end up under the bed as its more about marketing than fixing folks.

Best in Show: Audi R8 V-12 TDI
The Audi R8 V-12 TDI is our best in show for its cutting edge engine technology.
Demonstrating that it races at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for a purpose, Audi introduced the R8 V-12 TDI concept that adapted the race-winning diesel powerplant from its R10 prototype to create the world's first diesel-powered supercar.
The twin-turbocharged engine is increased from 5.5 to 6.0 liters and makes 500 bhp and 738 lb.-ft. of torque. While we greatly admire the Corvette ZR1 for being the most powerful road car ever built by Chevrolet, the Audi R8 V-12 TDI is our Best in Show for its cutting-edge engine technology.

Bloomberg News
COPENHAGEN – Lego A/S, the Danish building-block maker, said first-half sales jumped 13 percent with the strongest growth in Asia amid a slower start to 2013 in the toy markets of North America and Europe.
Lego's first-half revenue rose to 10.4 billion kroner ($1.84 billion) from 9.13 billion kroner in the same period a year earlier, according to a statement published today by the Billund, Denmark-based company.
Lego, which estimates the world's children spend 5 billion hours a year playing with its toys, said it won market share on rising sales of its new building-block line Legends of Chima and its Lego Friends sets. The latter series, introduced in 2012, is Lego's sixth attempt over the years to target girls and the "most significant" new product in a decade, CEO Joergen Vig Knudstorp has said.
"It's a very satisfactory result in view of general developments in the world toy market which has had a slow start to the year in the largest and most mature markets of North America, Europe and Japan," Knudstorp said in today's statement.
Sales growth in Lego Friends was "significantly higher" than the company average, Lego said. Legends of Chima products, introduced this year, have become one of Lego's largest and the company said it expects sales will continue to grow. The range features animal tribes battling for control of a world and offers a range of different sets.
Lego, which is closely held, said it boosted its global market share to 8.8 percent in the first half from 8.6 percent at the end of last year. The company is controlled by Denmark's richest man Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, the grandson of Lego founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen, who has a net worth of $6.4 billion, according to Bloomberg rankings.
Lego's first-half sales were higher than those of Hasbro Inc. The Pawtucket, R.I.-based toymaker reported sales of $1.43 billion for the same six-month period on July 22. Mattel Inc., the world's largest toymaker which is based in El Segundo, Calif., on July 17 reported a 4 percent advance in first half revenue to $2.16 billion.
Lego's net income grew 18 percent in the first six month of 2013 to 2.38 billion kroner, making the company bigger than both Mattel and Hasbro in terms of profit.

Sergio Romo has spent a lifetime proving doubters wrong. Those days are not over, even after he pitched in 10 of the Giants' 16 postseason games in 2012, saved three of their four World Series wins and froze Detroit's Miguel Cabrera with a surprise fastball to set off the celebration.
Despite that on his resume, Romo still has to prove to his own employers that he is durable enough to take on a closer's workload, which can be heavy for a team that plays as many close games as the Giants do.
Manager Bruce Bochy knows Romo has the guts and the stuff for the job. Who could argue otherwise? Moreover, Bochy said Friday that Romo will be his Opening Day closer and get the "lion's share" of save opportunities because "he's earned the right to be out there, just the way he threw the ball at the end last year."
However, Bochy qualified his statement, saying, "At the same time, we'd like to watch his workload to make sure we keep him healthy."
General manager Brian Sabean said the concern is Romo pitching several nights in a row, or maybe five times in a week, which Romo has not been asked to do. True, he carried a big load in the postseason, but the Giants knew a long rest was near.

The auto-correct patent, #20140040773, is entitled "Transient Panel Enabling Message Correction Capabilities Prior Submission" and was filed July 31, 2012. It describes a "programmable device" like a smartphone that offers a user an opportunity for final corrections to an auto-corrected text message, after the user has requested that the text is sent but before it actually is. If the opportunity for one last correction is not taken, the text is sent unaltered.
While auto-correct systems have been around for quite a while, the patent notes that it has "shortcomings." Top among them is that current auto-correct systems are based on valid grammar and spelling, which are not often present in the shorthand of text messages.
Unintentional Humor
It pointed out that this unintentional humor is the subject of "entire Web sites." One of the most popular of these sites is http://www.damnyouauto-correct.com/.
Although it contains the usual long-winded patent-ese, the document appears to indicate that the real innovation is simply that the user has an opportunity to fix the mistakes they, or the existing auto-correct process, has committed. This review gate can be set up or not via an option in Settings, providing a second chance before being embarrassed.
The system described in the patent includes a countdown timer for fixing the message before it is sent, as well as a menu with options to fix the errors, reject the message, or accept it as it currently exists and send it. If "fix errors" is chosen, a "transient panel" shows suggestions for corrections. The system could also learn which corrections a user most often chooses, so it can auto-correct earlier in the process for frequently mistyped words.
The user can also compose and store a variety of messages, checking them over and then sending them when the time is appropriate.
The other patent, #20140039874, is "Automatically Changing a Language for Electronic Messages." It describes a system where automatic language switching could be triggered by a received message, by language normally used by the recipient, or by language usually associated with the user.
Thus, if you receive a message in Spanish, you would automatically be provided with a Spanish-language keyboard, auto-corrector and dictionary for your reply. This auto-language feature could be overridden if so desired.

President Obama meet yesterday with the the Republican leaders and some of their members. What was striking to me at least was the ease that Obama had (In most cases) in refuting and dismantling the Republican objections to his policys. At one point one of the Republicans stated that their solution to the health care policy would have cost one half as much and provide twice the benefits that the Democrats presented. I have heard this many times from the Republicans but think about it Why would the president not go that route if it was true? Simply it is not based on fact.
Now at one point he dodged a question about discretionary spending that I think needs to be addressed but generally I thought he exposed what the Republicans are and that is a party who has no interest in working with him and are out-rightly deceitful with their claims.

Tiffin Prices (positive)
I was recently at the Rally in Redmond. I was amazed at the prices on Tiffin products (with the notable exception of the Zephyr).
All of their models were 30,000 to 100,000 less than comparable models of their competitors. How is that possible ? I know that Tiffin has a great reputation.
Do they not have as much markup on their products as competitors ?

Re: Tiffin Prices (positive)
This isn't the usual reaction, but I've noticed many of the manufacturers have been upgrading their entry and mid-level DP offerings - and they seem very "Tiffin-like". I've also noticed these improved models (one is the Astoria) seem like dead ringers for Tiffin Phaetons - but the prices have increased greatly. If they're trying to compete, it's an odd way to do it. Winnebago's TOUR model is another one - lots of upgrades to allow it to take the place of the VECTRA line, but much bigger prices for what remains a mid-level unit.
Tiffin Phaeton and Allegro Bus have been the top sellers through the recent downturn, and Tiffin couldn't make them fast enough - until recently. Tiffins CAN be bought cheaply - the dealers who discount are no secret - but you need to do your homework!
Tiffin's makes much of their units either "in house", in factories owned or connected to the family, or through local companies - but it's not a cheap or fast operation. I'm certain TIffins don't have significantly lower costs of production. Since the company is privately owned, we won't know. The downturn showed how easily a company can lose money, and these "new" companies with old,familiar names aren't rolling in profit. As always, the RV manufacturers seem to have a ignificant disconnect between their design, manufacturing, and dealership functions. NO ONE is making money on RV's, but they're all acting like it's BOOM TOWN.... again! Watch and see.....
DISCLOSURE - I have a Tiffin. They aren't "all that". The reputation is built on how they treat you after the sale - that reputation has been built on decades of errors and quality problems. NO ONE is bragging about how perfect their Tiffin was from Day One! People ARE very vocal about getting problems resolved well - and Tiffin owners are uniquely satisfied in that regard.

The most important part of any survey is having your audience participate in it. There are various ways of distributing the survey, and they can all be found by hovering over the title of your survey in your dashboard and clicking Collect Responses:
Website Popup
The most flexible embed method, the website popup offers several ways to embed a link to your survey into your website.
You have the choice of embedding a button, banner, or slider popup that when clicked, will bring up your survey in a popup window.
Clicking on each of these will show settings for that type of embed. At the bottom of each settings section are the codes that you copy and paste into your website:
If you are using WordPress.com then you can paste the WordPress.com shortcode:
Otherwise, copy the JavaScript embed:
JavaScript embeds are explained in more detail below. Note that you must paste the JavaScript code as plain text. If you paste the code into a visual editor then it will display on your website as code.
Note that your website must contain a valid non-quirks mode DOCTYPE. If you don't know what this then it probably contains one!
Button embed
The simplest website embed is the button embed, with an option for rounded or square corners. You can also choose to have a plain text link. You can change the text that appears, the style of the text, and the colors. The preview area will show you what the embed code will look like. When a participant clicks the button or the link, the survey will appear in a popup window.
Banner embed
A banner displays an image in one of the corners or the left or right side, of your blog. As with the button, you can change the text and colors, as well as style (corner or side), and alignment (which corner or side). When a participant clicks on the banner, your survey will appear in a popup window.
Slider popup
The slider popup is a more interactive method of embedding and will display a small dialog that slides onto the page. You can change the title, body, and button text. When a participant clicks on the slider popup's button, the survey will appear in a popup window.
Website inline
You can also embed your survey directly into the body of your webpage, with the website inline option:
The website inline method has three different types of embed codes: iframe, auto-resizing iframe, and WordPress shortcode:
Advanced JavaScript Embeds
You have additional options available with JavaScript embeds.
Can I include multiple embeds on one page?
Absolutely. To make this as efficient as possible, only add the first line of embed code once on your page, and the subsequent lines wherever you want the embed. For example, an embed code looks like this:
 Take Our Survey!
The first line has been highlighted. This only needs to occur once on your page. The other lines need to occur once per embed. Using this method you will save your users from having to download the Polldaddy code for each embed.
Can I have the survey appear when I click on something else?
Yes, you can make use of the polldaddy.launch()
JavaScript function anywhere on the page. For example, to have a link start the survey:
Apply Now
Can I change how the slider appears on screen?
You can change the time before the slider appears (delay), and speed at which it appears, when calling polldaddy.add
polldaddy.add( { type: 'slider', delay: 2000, speed: 1500 } );
The values are in milliseconds.
My survey only appears once, can I change that?
By default the embed will only show to a user until they click on it, at which point it will not show again. This is designed to reduce any annoyance to the user by showing them something they've already completed. You can change this behaviour with the visit: 'multi'
polldaddy.add( { visit: 'multi' } );
This can be combined with all other parameters.
Can I seed values and add custom survey tags?
You can add seed values and survey tags as follows:

Ruffian you cited Diodorus 17:20  for  Persepolis.
Actually 17:20 discusses the Battle on the Granicus and Cleitus saving Alexnader's life. Â Â The rest, too much work to bother. Â I just happened to have Diodorus handy.Â

Yes, and after alexander realized that it would be impossible for him to subjigate all of India, he wanted to at least have a "piece" of India, so chandragupta over ran all of the makedonian satrapies that alexander had left in place there. The defeat of Seleukus I did not destabalize the empire in any way afterwords. It simply kept the Arche de Seleukia from ever invading india again.
The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations.

I drew the analogy because earlier you had said:
which means that you did not believe the women in babylon were raped by greek soldiers. Now let me further add from the site to clarify it further:
Key takeaways are: a) Babylon surrendered by Mazaues and Alexander agrees to a peaceful takeover. b) Babylonians greet greeks with flower petals. c) Greeks brutally rape women and children of Babylon. d) Alexander's inaction makes one believe he condones the entire incident. e) Alexander marches on to Persepolis where a strong resistance is put up and the city meets the same fate i.e citizens are raped and looted and the city pillaged. So coming back to the context of our discussion their is no evidence that Alexander is a benevolent general because: i) When Babylon surrendered his city was raped and pillaged ii) When Persepolis fought they still met the same fate. So key questions are do you still believe A) Alexander had a stick and carrot policy B) Why did the same fate not meet Porus's city after apparently loosing it to the greeks?
I guess it depends on what your defenition of the word "peaceful". If raping women and children and is included in this definition, sure. But unfortunately such definition of yours cannot be accepted.
So would you call Americans or Japanese using a stick and carrot policy in Iraq and China respectively? Would you not call USA and Japan hypocritical for preaching human rights to the world when in fact they have committed the worst atrocities on innocent civilians in Iraq and China? I dont get it how alexander is any different. |

Athenas, I am quoting other sources who have quoted diodorus. It is possible they are wrong or it possible you did not look in the correct section. Can you please recheck? In January 330, Alexander reached Persepolis, the capital of the Achaemenid empire. Three months later he destroyed the palace, because he was not yet sole ruler of the Persian empire, and it was too dangerous to leave the enormous treasures behind, where his enemies could recapture them. The Greek author Diodorus of Sicily, describes the events in sections 17.20-22 of his World history. The translation was made by M.M. Austin. |

I have the actual books...if you wish to use them as sources, I'd recommend you do the same. The less filtered the better. Â :) Chilbudios gave you a link to an excellent online source for Diodorus though, as well as some other ancient sources. Â I don't know that Curtius is online. Â Â Â

This is your post. In it, you say that Curtius described at 5:2 how the Babylonian women were treated. Curtius did NOT write that. I'm not sure if you made this quote up or just took it from the bosom of the overly generous internet without bothering to check the actual source. The point of the matter is this: Curtius does not say the Babylonian women were raped, Curtius says the Babylonian women practiced sacred prostitution. Now, aware of the blunder, you quote the much more reputable livius.org site:
Perhaps that is true. It is very likely that Macedonian soldiers did, indeed, rape Babylonian women (as soldiers of all times, ages, creed or race are prone to do). But what exactly does this have to do with Alexander? Nowhere does Curtius say that Alexander instigated the immoral behaviour of his soldiers. Not even the author of the article on livius.org, though highly critical of the Macedonians, can accuse Alexander personally. That you see fit to judge Alexander according to our modern standards, shaped by the spirit of the Geneva Convention is your own choice. Feel free to accuse Alexander of anything and feel free to think anything about him. But it may be better to bring something more solid than a fake quote from an ancient author as an argument, or else don't be surprised to see people don't agree with you. |

Thanks. That is precisely the point. Takeover of Babylon was not peaceful as you had been insisting. The reason this point is important as I have asked previously that why similar events not take place in Porus's town. We are not here judging alexander's character or that of that of his army just his war with Porus. As collateral what is also emerging that Alexander has been romanticised to such a level that all his misdeeds have been shoved under the rug.
Agree Curtius is courteous towards alexander. Well why dont we move to Persepolis where Alexander infact did instigate to wreck the city?
I dont get it. You agree that Babylon and Persepolis were raped and pillaged. BTW it might have been the norm in Europe to treat the defeated the way alexander's army did in India it was never the case. In fact thru the centuries we have many instance where Indian general caught the harem of the opposing mughal general but the women were never molested instead were treated with dignity and sent back. To paint the entire world with one brush is wrong. |

The takeover of Babylon was peaceful. Isolated acts of violence committed by soldiers against the civilians among whom they are stationed do not imply anything about the manner in which the community received the garrison.
Let me make this more clear with an example:
Judging by your standards, if one sees the story of a Roman soldier assaulting or threatening to assault an ephebe, one should naturally conclude that the Romans had pillaged the city when they had taken it over. Well, that's just not true, and the story of how the Romans did get possession of the city is recounted again by Plutarch, this time in his "Life of Sulla", in the episode relating the Roman dictator's battle with the Pontic general Archelaos by the walls of this city. It was an entirely peaceful business, with the Chaeroneans gladly receiving the Roman troops (indeed inviting them) and subsequently giving them substantial aid. More on the interactions and tensions between guards and civillians may be found in A. Chaniotis & P. Ducrey (eds.) - Army and Power, in particular J. Ma's article "Oversexed, overpaid and over here". To sum things up, your theory about Alexander's alleged hypocrisy based on something an ancient source does not say, ut we moderns believe it should actually say simply does not hold water. At Persepolis things are entirely different. Persepolis was one of the major residences of the Achaemenids, so in burning it down Alexander may have wanted to signal his Greek allies that he had completed the mission entrusted to him by the Corinthian League, namely exacting revenge on the Persians for the damage inflicted by them on Greece during the Medic Wars. By burning Persepolis, Alexander may have "exacted revenge" on the Persians for the burning of Athens. It is also important to mention that the burning of Persepolis is in some sources instigated not by Alexander, but by a Greek prostitute. That there were Indian generals who captured the harems of enemies and treated them generously does not surprise me one bit. It is the very thing any half-wit politician would do. And, to your dismay, that is precisely what Alexander did as well, when he captured the women of Dareios III. Or you have just found a source which says otherwise? |

Thanks again. Here is what it says:
To bring the context of discussion: Persepolis was defended by Persian soldiers and it fell after a hard fight with Alexander's army. City was plundered and pillaged on orders from Alexander. Similarly alexander fought a hard battle with Porus. But Porus' city could not be plundered. What some here are arguing is Alexander had a change of heart, inexplicably, and ordered that Porus' city not be destroyed. This seems to be a faulty conclusion. Applying occam's razor simplest explanation is Porus' city could not be plundered because Alexander's defeated army was in no position to plunder it. |

No, I don't. Presumably you are an avid reader of such literature, so please enlighten me.
I mean that in the Middle-Easten tradition taking over the wife of the former king was a claim for legitimacy. With such a gesture Cyrus the Great was famed to have fundamented his claim for kingship. Alexander had a relation with Stateira, Dareios III's wife, thus sending the message far and wide that Dareios was crushed and effectively removed from office and that he was the legitimate Achaemenid king. This was, of course, his message to the subjects of the Achaemenid empire, who could be expected to serve the Achaemenid king loyally - whoever the Achaemenid king was, Dareios or Alexander. In the Shahname - this bit I got from wikipedia, so I cannot personally vouch for its accuracy - Alexander is said to have been the son of a Persian king, so his propaganda really did work. Other historical examples of generals treating kindly family members of their enemies include a successor of Alexander, the Seleukid king Antiochos III, who captured the son of Scipio, but did the young man no harm, but rather returned him to his father.
This version I've never come across. See above for what I did come across - Alexander had an affair with Stateira, the wife of Dareios III. Stateira is said to have died in child-birth, but the child was Alexander's. Alexander then married Barsine, daughter of Dareios and Stateira and Parysatis, daughter of Artaxerxes III (the Achaemenid king who preceded Dareios III). They thus became second and third wife, respectively, after Rhoxane. |

There are conflicting versions of what happened to Stratira the wife of Darius, not his daughter.
She dies in childbirth, or she simply died. Â She died before Gaugamela, within a year of Issos, or she died shortly before Guagamela, very shortly before. Â She may have had a relationship of some kind with Alexander or she may not have. Â The sources conflict. Â Plutarch (30.1) and Justin (11.12.6) are the only ones who says she died in childbirth. Â Even Curtius, who never met a salacious story about Alexander he didn't love, says she died of illness. Â Women, especially the Persian women, weren't really of interest to the Greek and Roman writers, except as conveninet props to further a storyline. Â Afterthoughts in a man's world. But in NONE of them show the daughter of Darius raped by Alexander and dying in childbirth. Â In fact both daughters were married to Alexander and Hephaistion. Â Sadly they wouldn't long outlive Alexander because, so say the sources, Roxane (his Sogdian wife) had them murdered, with the help of Perdiccas. Again, this may be true, or it may not...easy to blame Roxane, later a victim herself and Perdiccas because neither had much say in what was told in the histories and the propaganda wars, Perdiccas being dead within a few years of Alexander, and Roxane and her sad, sad son rendered moot as well, then murdered. Â Though, in real politik, it does make sense for the Achaemenid wives to be done in by her, or at least on her behalf. Ruffian, seriously, a suggestion. Â If you are going to use the Greek and Roman sources, you need to read them yourself. Â You are getting some very faulty information from somewhere.

Well the nazis said they were attacked by Poles and thus had to invade Poland in self defence! Obviously we cannot believe them can we?
Statira was taken against her will, and greeks, to portray Alexander as benevolent have showed it otherwise. But the fact she died in childbirth shows Darius was not the father. What is your reference for saying Statira was married because Plutarch explcitily denies it. (Also my previous post had a typo. I have corrected it.)

It was a typo. I meant to say Darius's wife.
Well she did die in childbirth and that is why some people think that Barsine, her daughter with Darius, had a motive to knock off ALexander.
Please see above. It was not the daughter but the wife of Darius that I wanted to say who died in childbirth.
Well Cassander had Roxane and the young son knocked off as also olympias. I guess thessalionke survived somehow.
No not faulty info just a typo on my part. Apologies for that. |

Yes, we don't know that Stateira was officially Alexander's wife. But it seems their relationship was widely known at the time. That was enough for official propaganda.
You state that "Statira was taken against her will". Perhaps. But you imply that she had married Dareios III with her full consent, which is by no means certain. Besides, Alexander was a young man, and a handsome one by all accounts. Who can tell if she was or was not genuinely attracted to him? Anyway, a political marriage hardly equates with being "raped by Alexander's soldiers" as you had posted with supreme confidence earlier. This is the sort of faulty info athenas owl warned you against. |

What official propaganda? Please point a source.
Are you suggesting she was a spoil of war and Darius had gotten her the same way? Can you please point a source? Even if this is true what does it have to do with the context of this discussion?
Her cities plundered, her people pillaged and raped, her husband hounded and she fell for him? Is this your opinion or are you quoting a historian here?
Please point out a source for this political marriage. |

Hi, I am new to the forums, but maybe you all can help me. I have an old stampede about 12 tears old, and have recently taken it out of the closet, its been in there for about 10 years now. I just bought a pair of fresh batteries, and the truck runs well, but i was thinking of upgrading to a brushless combo. Here is my question, would i also need to upgrade the transmission as well? I noticed that the new magnum trans for the new stampede looks as if it would bolt right up to my old stampede. I don't recall what material was used for the planetary gears on my old trans, but i would assume the new one is built to handle the brushless motors. Also if i wanted more tourque for the new brushless motor, would a 17t be better than a 12t? I would apreciate any help from the experts on here.
Aloha, don.

Press brake tooling designed for TRUMPF, LVD-style machines
Wilson Tool International® has launched its WT press brake tooling for TRUMPF-style and LVD-style press brakes.
The line offers 10 standard punch profiles from 120 to 220 mm and 17 different dies from 6 to 50 mm. Special profiles, tip radii, and tip angles are also available.
The company's patented Nitrex™ high-endurance surface treatment is included on all tooling. With a surface hardness of HRC 70, the treatment adds lubricity to press brake tooling and lowers the coefficient of friction as the steel slides over the shoulder of the V opening on a die.
The tooling is precision-ground to meet or exceed tolerance standards of ± 0.01 mm on all critical dimensions. A pushbutton feature offers fast speed in tool setups during vertical loading and unloading.

More than 14 years ago officials of the Newark New Jersey Police Department unlawfully terminated Darren Nance. A Federal Jury, after deliberating the evidence presented, ruled that Darren Nance was terminated unlawfully. This illegal termination cost Newark taxpayers in excess of 2 million dollars. Nevertheless, no police official was sanctioned for his or her involvement in, or inability to detect this unlawful termination. Additionally, no failsafe procedure has been put in place to make certain no other police officer would be terminated unlawfully. Still, despite a Newark Municipal Council resolution forbidding the spending of any additional funds to oppose Nance's reinstatement, the Newark Police Department is still objecting to the reinstatement of Darren Nance.
Join us on Thursday September 20, 2012 at 6:00 PM eastern time for this update on Newark's continued efforts to stop the reinstatement of an officer who was fired unlawfully.

Steamboat Springs Old West Steak House didn't open Friday morning after its last night of business Thursday, owner Marty Duran said.
Duran, who bought the restaurant from Don Silva in April 2008, said an agreement he had last year to catch up on rent during the ski season wasn't available this year and building owner Jean Sagouspe evicted him Thursday. He said four of his 25 full- and part-time employees worked without pay that night.
"I'm very unhappy," Duran said. "It's easy for me to say that Jean could have been different, done this or that. But this is his business. It's not personal. It's a business decision."
Calls to Old West Management, which Sagouspe owns, and his office in Los Banos, Calif., were not returned Friday.
Duran said he bought the restaurant, which has been open since 1978, right before the recession and the business hasn't recovered. He said he owes rent for October, November and December and could be liable for the next six months for defaulting on the lease.
"We did everything we possibly could to keep it afloat," Duran said. "We're probably in denial keeping it open longer than we should. I've just never given up on anything in my life."

New Zealand captain, Brendon McCullum said that he was proud of achieving a series victory in South Africa despite his team coming up second best in a thrilling finale at Potchefstroom. Chasing a victory target of 261, South Africa crossed the line off the very last ball of the match after Ryan McLaren hit a six off James Franklin.
"It would have been great to win the series 3-0," McCullum said. "But winning the series, achieving what we've achieved in this series and even how we've played today as well, we've showed the characteristics that we want to be known for."
New Zealand once again made a poor start after opting to bat at Potchefstroom. They were reduced to 68/4 before half centuries from Grant Elliot, Colin Munro and James Franklin took them to a respectable 260. Graeme Smith led the chase for the hosts with a sublime 116 but it needed a last ditch six from Ryan McLaren to seal the issue in their favour.
"Our bowlers tried hard all day. The wicket did skid on a little bit, and it was probably slightly easier to bat on in that second innings," McCullum said. "But that's the nature of the toss as well and playing in foreign conditions. I can't speak highly enough of the effort from our guys."
"I thought we showed some real character and some real fighting qualities to hang in there, when we were behind the eight ball and get ourselves back in the game. Graeme Smith's innings today was a phenomenal innings and deserved to be on the winning side."
New Zealand had endured humiliating defeats in the two Tests prior to the ODI series and McCullum felt that this series win was a big boost to the team. "We competed in the Twenty20s, but South Africa deserved the result; in Tests we were blown off the park by a team at the top of their game. It was a learning opportunity to see the best in action and see how far we need to improve, but to win the ODI series has been satisfying, not only for the group of players, but also for the management and the fans."

"Do women like a lot of cum?"
This is one of the most common concerns among men.
Just the way, most men are fascinated with bigger breasts, women seem t o have this thing for larger loads of cum.
Women seem to think that semen is the index of your male sexual prowess, virility and fertility. More cum, somehow makes you appear more manly or masculine.
It is needless to say, women do like a lot of cum and prefer to be with men who shoot bigger loads of ejaculate.
This obviously makes you concern over your semen production.
Relax guys..
There are some natural ways to boost your semen production naturally.
A healthy lifestyle can go a long way in increasing your semen production as well as your sperm count.
Make sure you get enough of minerals like zinc. magnesium and selenium in your diet. These minerals are highly important for the production of semen.
Not only this, you should also have at least 8-10 glasses of water every day. This is because dehydration can lead to low semen volume.
Foods such as celery, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds etc., are well known to increase semen volume in men.
Moreover, there are some natural semen enhancers that can do a lot of good for your semen health and volume.
One of such semen enhancers that I have personally tried is Performer5.
It is a powerful and dual ejaculation system that takes care of all your ejaculatory concerns. It not only make you produce up to 500% more semen but also make you ejaculate with greater force and intensity. Not just this, having it for a couple of months can also help you last much longer in bed.
It is an all natural product and is a great mix of highly potent ingredients that not only increase semen production but also give boost to your libido and ensure rock hard erections along with the ability to last much longer in bed.

Nationally recognized in their sub-specialties, the Cardiovascular Center's surgeons offer the most experienced team in the Mountain West in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS). As the only medical center in Utah to offer MICS, our cardiothoracic program has built a successful and growing track record by employing innovative and less invasive surgical techniques. The experienced precision of our surgeons is backed up by the most advanced imaging technologies available.
To contact us, please select a surgeon from the provider list and use the contact number provided.
About Minimally Invasive Surgery
Is the pre-operative evaluation different with MICS?
In general, all patients being evaluated for cardiac surgery are thoroughly screened. First, we must make sure that the surgery is needed. Many patients avoid visiting a heart surgeon because they fear they will be hastily taken to the operating room. Our job, however, is not only to know when to operate, but also when not to operate. This requires experience and sound judgment in order to counsel our patients and their families well. We will be best prepared to deal with any situations that are specific to our patients.
How do you do the surgery through such small holes?
Evolving technology has allowed development of instruments and techniques such that many surgeries can be performed through the smaller incisions. Although many of the operations have additional challenges because of limited access, the fundamental concepts are similar to those performed in the open surgery manner.
What are the complications of MICS? How do they differ from traditional heart surgery?
Heart surgery, of any type, has inherent risks regardless of a particular approach. Commonly cited complications include infection, bleeding, stroke, electrical conduction problems, organ failure, arrhythmias, and death. Fortunately, these complications, even in the open operations are relatively rare.
Although many procedures can be performed without the use of the cardiopulmonary bypass machine, valvular operations require the use of the heart-lung machine. Typically, the access for this machine is through tubes placed in the groin artery and vein. Patients can experience numbness or drainage at the groin incision site. In addition, some patients will experience temporary numbness under their right breast at the site of the chest incision. As mentioned above, MICS typically carries lower complication rates because there is less risk of bleeding, earlier ambulation and return to activity, and less risk of infection.
Who is a candidate?
The majority of minimally invasive cardiac surgery is directed to patients with valvular heart disease including aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve stenosis (narrowin) or regurgitation (leaking). In addition, minimally invasive cardiac surgery can be used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, closure of atrial septal defects and patent foramen ovales, and certain patients requiring coronary artery bypass surgery.
Conditions treated with MICS
Minimally invasive heart surgery (MICS) provides a unique approach to many traditional cardiac surgery operations. At University of Utah Health, we perform the following operations using minimally-invasive techniques:
- Mitral valve repair or replacement
- Aortic valve repair or replacement
- Tricuspid valve repair or replacement
- Modified Maze procedure
- Atrial septal defect repairs
- Patent foramen ovale repairs
- Limited coronary artery bypass grafting
- Epicardial lead placement

By Ryan Vlastelica
NEW YORK, Feb 13 U.S. stock index futures edged higher on Wednesday, suggesting the market would continue a recent advance that lifted benchmark indexes to multi-year highs.
While the long-term trend in markets should remain positive, some investors may take profit at current levels, analysts said, with the S&P near its highest since November 2007. Recent daily moves have been small and trading volume light as investors search for fresh impetus to drive stocks higher.
Equities have been strong performers of late, buoyed largely by healthy growth in corporate earnings, with the S&P 500 gaining 6.5 percent so far this year. The Dow is about 1 percent from an all-time intraday high, reached in October 2007.
"This is a market that refuses to go down, and the trend suggests that we'll not only hit a new high on the Dow, but move well beyond it," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive of Sarhan Capital in New York.
Sarhan noted that the S&P 500 was well over its 50-day moving average of 1,460.92, which he said was a sign the market was overbought.
"A light-volume pullback should be expected and embraced at these levels," he said.
Industrial and construction shares will be in focus a day after President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, during which he called for a $50 billion spending plan to create jobs by rebuilding degraded roads and bridges. He also backed higher taxes for the wealthy.
Retail sales data for January is scheduled for release at 8:30 a.m. ET (1330 GMT) and are seen up 0.1 percent as consumer paychecks shrank following a recent tax increase. Sales rose 0.5 percent in December.
Investors have cheered strength in recent company results, even as economic data, including recent reads on gross domestic product, have indicated some weakness.
Deere & Co jumped 2.1 percent to $95.99 in premarket trading after the farm equipment maker reported results and raised its full-year profit outlook.
S&P 500 futures rose 2.9 points and were above fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures added 19 points and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 7.25 points.
Comcast Corp agreed late Tuesday to buy General Electric Co's remaining 49 percent stake in NBC Universal for $16.7 billion. Comcast jumped 8 percent to $42.10 in premarket trading while Dow component GE was up 3.2 percent to $23.31.
Yahoo Inc Chief Executive Marissa Mayer said Tuesday the company's search partnership with Microsoft Corp was not delivering the market share gains or the revenue boost that it should.
Companies scheduled to report quarterly results on Wednesday include MetLife Inc, Applied Materials and Whole Foods Market.
