"What birds are out there seem to be scattered because there's a lot of feed. They're not concentrated like it would be if it were a drier spring."
Doug Bowman
"There are tens of thousands of abandoned mines and quarries scattered across the American landscape, and some are more visible than others."
David G. Dye
"It depends on where you were. Where they caught some scattered showers, they had a good crop."
Phil Coleman
"I just wanted to get all this stuff in one place, ... A lot of it was scattered around or out of print. There are songs here that I thought would never get heard, the ones with Billy Bragg, for instance. The lyrics are kind of embarrassing - we wrote them in the middle of the night during these song-writing marathons - but I feel they are still documents of my work and that this is the place to let people hear them."
Natalie Merchant
"They have scattered to other places. In a lot of cases other morning shows have benefited. Howard's going away is something that other morning shows have prayed for for years."
Tom Taylor
"We're seeing lots of geese scattered around in flocks of 50 to 75 birds. We had really good reproduction this spring and banded 604 geese, compared to 262 in 2004."
Eric Lobner
"It is very difficult to conduct statistical surveys as they are very scattered with frequent changes, resulting in a certain degree of under-coverage."
Li Deshui
"Fish are usually scattered in those conditions, and you'll generally just find individual bass. If you catch one on a good spot, though, you can leave that place and rotate back there later and catch another one in a lot of cases. Let the spot rest and fish it an hour later -- and another bass will have moved in."
Mike Auten
"We finally came through with some bit hits -- that was the difference in the game. Zach threw real well, scattered the hits and also stepped up at the plate."
Thad Nelson
"There aren't many (scattered lots) under $150,000,just a few here and there."

AMX-003 Gaza-C
this wiki
The AMX-003 (MMT-1) Gaza-C is a mass-production transformable mobile weapon first featured in the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ anime series. The design was given an update and appears in the photo-novel/OVA Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
Like many mobile suits designed around the time of the Gryps Conflict, the Gaza-C line of mobile suits from Axis Zeon were built around the concept of a versatile transforming frame. However, while the Gaza-C was approved and put into mass production there were minor flaws in the design, and the manufacturing resources of the Axis asteroid was limited, so many of the Gaza-C's parts were recycled from older Gaza-A and Gaza-B construction mobile suits. Despite this, the Gaza-C was a successful design that provided an excellent balance of speed, maneuverability, and firepower for little cost and was the first real mass-produced version of the Gaza-series.
However, one major problem with the Gaza-C is that due to its flimsy construction, the mobile suit would literally fall apart after using its transformation systems only a few times; the average lifespan of a Gaza-C would be three combat missions. This flaw was remedied in later Gaza models.
- Knuckle Buster
- With a power output at 6.7 MW, this powerful beam cannon is linked to a large sensor on the right side chest of the Gaza-C, making it very accurate. It mounts onto the backpack when in mobile suit and mobile armor mode, but is hand-carried when in mobile suit mode.
- Beam Saber
- The beam saber is the standard melee armament for the AMX-003 Gaza-C. The beam saber is a small cylindrical device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by an energy capacitor that is recharged from special racks. The beam saber emits a blade of plasma contained by an I-field and is capable of cutting through any metal alloy. The only way to block a beam saber is to counter with another beam saber or to use armor that has been treated with an anti-beam coating. When not in use the Gaza-C's beam sabers are stored in recharge racks in the shoulder binders.
- Beam Gun
- Pair of small fire-linked beam guns are fixed on the Gaza-C backpack. Used mainly in mobile armor mode, these beam guns can't change their firing angle. Possess a power rating of 2.3 MW each.
Upon Neo Zeon's revival a transformable mobile suit was needed to stand against the Titans and the AEUG. Using mostly spare parts the Gaza-C was mass-produced, giving the Zeonic forces a basic unit, which in large numbers (and due to Zeon's veteran pilots) was quite dangerous.
When the Axis asteroid entered the Earth Sphere the Neo Zeon forces brought over 100 of these mobile suits which were deployed in battle for Neo Zeon's interests. It was the only transformable mobile suit mass-produced in such large numbers.
The AMX-003 Gaza-C would serve as the primary front-line combat mobile suit for the Axis forces during the Gryps Conflict, and during the early part First Neo Zeon War. However, as the resources available to Neo Zeon's military grew, production of the Gaza-C ceased due to deficiencies in the frame's design. Yet the design of the Gaza-C was popular enough that it served as the basis for a number of mobile suits Neo Zeon would field during the First Neo Zeon War, such as its direct descendent, the AMX-006 Gaza-D. It estimated that nearly 250 Gaza-C units were produced.
Although production of the Gaza-C would end in the year U.C. 0088, before the end of the First Neo Zeon War, a number of these mobile suits would survive to the year U.C. 0096. These surviving Gaza-C units would be operated by "The Sleeves". Due to the fact that The Sleeves lacked the resources to compete with the Earth Federation's production capabilities, they deployed any mobile suit they could get a hold of, even outdated machines as far back as the One Year War. These Gaza-C units would be repainted into a new color scheme and given the distinctive markings featured on many of the mobile suits used by The Sleeves. Some Gaza-C units were deployed by The Sleeves during the Federation's attack on Palau, where they performed poorly against the Earth Federation's more modern and advanced mobile suits.
Picture Gallery
Notes & Trivia
- The Gaza-C lists of armaments are questionable, as many notable cannon sources list is armaments differently - Gundam Wars III list its armaments and power output as "Mega Particle Cannon x 2 (2.3 MW)", "Knuckle Buster (6.7 MW)", "Beam Saber x 2 (0.4 MW)", while Mobile Suit Illustrated 2003 list its armaments as "Knuckle Buster", "Beam Gun x 2", "Beam Saber", and then Z Gundam Mechanical Edition Volume 2 has its armaments and power output as "Beam Gun (2.3 MW)", "Knuckle Buster (6.7 MW)", "Beam Saber (0.4 MW)".

It's a stupid question because Karl Marx did not invent socialism. So to call Obama a Marxist is stupid. Mother Theresa has socialist views. Why not refer to Obama a Theresa-ist? The whole notion of Obama being socialist is bogus and just reveals the ignorance and illiteracy of the GOP.
Joe the Plumber owes Barack Obama an apology.
Barack took the time and consideration for him to explain that he would get a tax break under his plan. Joe the plumber was a plant by the McCain campaign.
If American's are happy with the way things have been going the last 8 years or even the last month then vote for McCain/Palin. Even the biggest Alaskan newspaper endorsed Barack Obama. Barack could even win Arizona.
Amercian's are fed up with McCain/Palin/Bush/Chaney/Rove
We want change we can believe in.
There is a lot of talk about taxes. But something is missing. McCain said on Meet the Press today, that he would veto bills he voted for. That does not make sense. That proves he is talking erratic. Why vote for a bills you would veto. That is not country first.
First Obama's going to raise everyone's taxes...watch out!! Now he's a Marxist. Which one is it??? Were people screaming Marxism in the 90's when the economy and jobs were thriving??? Obama's plan is very similar to Clinton's plan, which worked. I don't want to hear about the twists of politics, I just want more jobs, a stronger economy, and a country that I can believe in. McCain offers none of that, plain and simple.
Tough questions? that woman was just reciting campaign talking points. that was not journalism it looked like a fox news audition
The Republican attacks have become a laughing matter, and few are taking them seriously anymore.
West's husband is a conservative strategist, so it is obvious where she got her questions from. Calling her balanced is like calling McCain moderate despite the fact that he is proud that he voted with Bush 90% of the time.
Are you kidding me? That's what they call a tough question? Also, he answered the question! What's the big deal?
She had lame questions. She is a freakin joke.
I give credit, Biden did say with all due respect! I think I would not have honored that stupid question with a remark at all. I have that luxury, Biden does not.
But both he and Obama must be tired of repeating the same TRUTHS to same stupid LIES. McCain can preach it, but God help us when the media acts like those lies are worth repeating! I expect more from the media. They know the truth. It is their job to keep us aware of what is truth and what is lies. It is NOT their job to keep asking if a lie is a lie! Seriously!
Apparently John McCain believes that it's perfectly acceptable to let the helpless suffer the deprivation of homelessness, hunger, and pain so the ten percent who own everything and control everything may enjoy their luxury homes, jets, yachts, and lavish lifestyles. I disagree.
This is the future under Obama, Censorship, the Media is scared of Obama and his Chicago ways, we the people need to make the Media be more afraid of us, the people they represent. We have our vote to remind the Politician's who is in control, we the people; we have our dollars to remind the Media who is in control, we the people. We cast our vote against bias in the Media by boycotting MSNCB & NBC (all shows) the most visible offenders. The boycott message will be to all members of the media and will remind them who is in control, we the people. We must also boycott the sponsor's products, followed by letters to these companies, that we will not purchase their products if they continue to support MSNBC & NBC while they overtly attempt to influence the presidential election for Obama. Start NOW!
That news anchor is actually an idiot.
What if Obama is the worst president ever? The left's version of Bush.
I'm voting for McCain so I can say "At least I didn't vote him"
I am sick of the GOP running this slop vs. a campaign. You have no idea how many people I have spoken to who are voting against McCain simply because of the crap he is spewing out.
Turns out the interviewers husband is Wade West; a Republican Media Consultant. Gee, never would have guessed that one!!
Joe Biden is amazing. By the way, agreed with what "Phil Newton in Murphy, Oregon" said.
What if Obama is the worst president ever? The left's version of Bush.
I'm voting for McCain so I can say "At least I didn't vote for him"
West you are another fabricating Rebuttican move to Fox thats where you belong over there with Hannity,Rove,Greta, O'Rilley thats Fabricated question and the answer the looney loosers deserve .
Dont need 4 more years after 8 years of this B.S.
Obama/Biden all the way tgo the Oval Office
OUCH ... Sizzle...
Truth hurts Joe. Elect oBama and welcome to the USSA.
Hey CNN, guess what MSNBC actually allows people with different viewpoints on their blogs. You don't have to worship at the temple of Obama to get your post printed. It's interesting that Biden hasn't talked to the press since September 13th, if the media is going to trash Palin for this, where's the outrage over Biden. Oh I forgot, he's running with Obama, can't criticize him!
Same old song and dance from the Obama camp. Anytme they are asked a hard question they either don't answer it or try to make the person asking it out like an idiot.
She reminds me of Michelle Bachman for some reason. They all look like they've been possessed and sound so robotic repeating the same Sean Hannity talking points. Do they all go to the same neocon school of right winged talking points? The questioning is always so predictable. Whoever wrote that post from PUMA needs to get a life. First of all what tough questions has Palin been asked??? She can't go anywhere without a chaperone.
Reporters can ask politicians any questions they want to ask. The important thing is that Sen. Biden had the answers that Americans need – that calling Obama a Socialist or Marxist is ridiculous, and explaining what Obama's policy really is.
Go Joe! Obama/Biden '08!!

Fry the onion in very little oil until it is soft—about 10 minutes.
Then add the pepper to the pan and continue cooking for a further 6 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and heat through.
Pour a little oil into an omelette pan, just enough to moisten it all over the base and sides.
Beat 2 eggs lightly, season with pepper and salt and pour them into the very hot pan.
Put half the onion and pepper mixture into the centre of the eggs, then start to draw the edges towards the middle tipping the remaining egg liquid back to the sides of the pan.
When all the liquid has been absorbed fold one edge over, then the other and slide the omelette on to a warmed plate.
Keep warm.
Repeat with the other two eggs and remaining onion and pepper mixture.
Serve with a mixed salad.

from Bozeman Daily Chronicle
Mike Fleming, 84, talks about model railroading, real trains and growing up in Livingston, Montana. A member of the Livingston Model Railroad Club, Fleming said the group celebrates the mystique of the railroad and strives for realism in its designs. Members meet Tuesday and Saturday nights in the old baggage building at the Livingston Depot, a restored 1902 Northern Pacific Railway station. The club runs model trains on more than 600 feet of meticulously designed track in settings representative of southwest Montana.

DETROIT — Chrysler Group LLC has given in to government pressure and agreed to recall 2.7 million older Jeep models, after initially fighting a recall request from U.S. regulators.
The recall will affect Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from model years 1993 to 2004 and Jeep Liberty SUVs from 2002 to 2007.
While Chrysler stood by its assertion that the vehicles are not defective, it acknowledged consumer apprehension about vehicle safety.
Chrysler, based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, said in a statement it reached an agreement with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which earlier this month asked the automaker to recall 2.7 million SUVs that the regulator said can catch fire after rear collisions. Chrysler had said it wouldn't recall the vehicles.
Related: Chrysler agrees to recall 630,000 SUVs for leak problems
Related: Not all recalls created equal
"Chrysler Group's analysis of the data confirms that these vehicles are not defective and are among the safest in the peer group," the company said in the statement. "Nonetheless, Chrysler Group recognizes that this matter has raised concerns for its customers and wants to take further steps, in coordination with NHTSA, to provide additional measures to supplement the safety of its vehicles."
Chrysler's decision averts what could have been the biggest U.S. showdown between an automaker and its safety regulator since the 1980s.
The government says 51 people have suffered fiery deaths in Jeep Grand Cherokees and Libertys that were hit from behind. Regulators claim that the position of the gas tank, behind the rear axle, makes the Jeeps more susceptible to a fiery crash than similar models.
Chrysler contended that the SUVs are as safe as other vehicles on the road from that era. The Jeeps, it says, met all federal safety standards when they were built, some more than two decades ago. Regulators are unfairly holding the vehicles to a new standard for fuel tank strength, Chrysler claims.
The company said it will do visual inspections of the vehicles and, if necessary, provide an "upgrade to the rear structure" to improve protection in low-speed crashes. It didn't give details about the repair.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A handshake is when two people hold hands for a few seconds and move them up and down before letting go. It is often used like a greeting (like saying "hello" or "goodbye" when people meet) or to say that two people have agreed on something.
Some secret societies have secret handshakes to show they are part of the group.

With 70 million Millennials now the largest segment of the U.S. workforce, how do they stay satisfied in the workplace while companies build their bottom lines?

Hilde Janne Skorpen, Consul General, Royal Norwegian Consulate
Sedge Dienst, Partner and Co-founder, KCA Partners—Moderator
The Nordic countries are leaders when it comes to health care, environmental stewardship and education. In terms of gender equality, the World Economic Forum's 2016 Global Gender Gap Report ranked Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden the top four countries. The European Commission report shows that 94 percent of Finns, 90 percent of Swedes and 87 percent of Danes say they are satisfied with their health care. The Global Innovation Index ranked Sweden second last year, with all the Nordics solidly and consistently in the top 25. What explains these impressive figures?
During this program, Kirsti Kauppi, current Finnish ambassador to the U.S.; Ambassador András Simonyi of the Johns Hopkins University's Center for Transatlantic Relations; and Ambassador Hilde Janne Skorpen, Norway's consul general, will take us on a journey through the Nordic region. They will share insights about their successes (where many other members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development have struggled) as well as their challenges. We will also discuss current transatlantic relations from a northern European perspective.

Reading Californians Book Discussion Group: Waiting for the Electricity by Christina Nichol
Date: Mon, April 03, 2017Time: 6:00 PM
Book discussion group
Waiting for the Electricity by Christina Nichol begins in the republic of Georgia. The novel is about a humble maritime lawyer, Slims Achmed Makahvili. The Communists are long gone, but there are no jobs in the cities—and when there are jobs, employees aren't compensated. When they are compensated, it's because the jobs are . . . not strictly scrupulous.
Makahvili discovers an application for a small internship program sponsored by Hillary Clinton. His letters to her describe his eagerness to bring efficiency and opportunity to his homeland, replacing his friends' and relatives' decadence, lethargy and unsavory business practices. After Makahvili is chosen for the internship and finally arrives in America—in a utopian San Francisco—he decides his loud, bickering family and his anguished, joyful country no longer seem so grim.
The book has been described by author Norman Rush as a "triumphant, sustained, comic performance." He adds: "I can't recall a contemporary American novel anywhere near as funny." The Wall Street Journal describes the book as "endearing and dryly hilarious."

Annie Jacobsen is an investigative journalist and best-selling author who writes about war, weapons, U.S. national security and government secrecy. Her Area 51 was an international best seller and The Pentagon's Brain was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Now, she has written what she says is the definitive history of the military's decades-long investigation into mental powers and phenomena. Jacobsen says that for more than 40 years, the U.S. government has researched extrasensory perception, using it in attempts to locate hostages, fugitives, secret bases and downed fighter jets; to divine other nations' secrets; and even to predict future threats to national security. The agencies involved include the CIA, DIA, NSA, DEA, Navy, Air Force, Army and even the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Now, for the first time, Jacobsen tells the story of these radical, controversial programs, using never-before-seen declassified documents as well as exclusive interviews with more than 50 former CIA and Defense Department scientists, analysts and program managers, as well as the government psychics themselves. Come hear this unusual program that may challenge your own perceptions of reality.

After over 12 years of case study research on organic and biodynamic family farms, intentional communities, and resilient and regenerative design thinking, James Ehrlich founded ReGen Villages. At the forefront of automating thriving abundance for healthy families, ReGen is a Stanford University spin-off company which develops technology-integrated residential areas. Starting with pilot communities—one in Almere, Netherlands and the other at Summit Powder Mountain in Eden, Utah—ReGen Villages intends to reduce burdens on municipal and national governments, creating self-reliant neighborhoods that can power, feed, hydrate and digest their own organic waste. Ehrlich will discuss his inspirational research on farm-to-table communities, detailing his greater vision and plans to realize solutions for the next 2–3 billion people who will live on Earth by 2050.
As a serial entrepreneur in Silicon Valley for 25 years, primarily in the video game and entertainment technology area, Ehrlich designed worlds that made sense. Recently appointed to the U.S. State Department's joint task force on the nexus of food, water, energy and waste, the genesis of Ehrlich's personal research came from over a decade of case studies on organic and biodynamic family farms and their connection to the strongest communities around the world.

The Past, Present and Future of My Writing
I am extremely happy to bring to you a guest post from one of my most favorite authors and good friend, Julianne Snow. I know you will enjoy her writing as much as I do…WS
I wonder what it's like to be the God of Nothing Now? My good friend Wolf Scott knows all about that and as we talk about life and writing, it's amazing to see that he in fact is the God of Something New. I am honoured that he has allowed me to borrow his blog for a day to promote my first book, Days with the Undead: Book One and as I think on the three themes he asked me to cover, I cannot help but reflect on –
The Past, Present and Future of My Writing
Wolf has asked me to write on a few specific things when we discussed the possibility of an appearance on his wonderful blog to support my new book Days with the Undead: Book One. At first, I didn't know how I was going to answer the questions that he asked me because as simple and straightforward as they are, there is so much more to them. I have spent many days with his requests on my mind and now, I finally feel like I'm ready for the world to read my thoughts and my dreams and to get a deeper glimpse into the private oasis my mind is for me.
In the beginning, I wrote because it freed me. It freed my mind from all of the stories that clouded my imagination and made it impossible to concentrate on any other task. I grew up in a happy home but I was never truly content unless I was escaping into another world. I don't even know why that is to be perfectly honest. I played the part of "happy child" but for the most part I wasn't. I got teased a lot because my parents couldn't afford all of the name brand clothes the other kids wore – it was hard but it made me strong. Writing was a release for me – was it all good, of course not. Heck, it could be crap now, but that wouldn't make much of a difference to me because I write for myself.
Why do I write now? It's a very good question. One of the reasons that I write is that I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I've been told that's not an acceptable answer however so I'll give you a few more. Besides allowing me to cope with other tasks on a day to day basis, writing allows me to use my imagination in ways that I find remarkable – even when the words come out of my own head. Where do the scenes and the phrases come from? Somewhere in my mind sits a diminutive woman who looks a little like me and talks a little like me – her sole purpose is to keep my soul soaring. How does she do this? She pens tales of Zombies, and romance (though not at the same time); tales of horror and of life, and sometimes she even lets a little haiku or two escape. She is mine and I am hers. The relationship is very much co-dependent and for a time I didn't let her speak, didn't let her write and I certainly didn't let her create. It was wrong of me but now that things have changed, we're much happier together. I couldn't imagine my life without the joy of literary creation. Plain and simple.
My first book is firmly entrenched in the Zombie genre. That's something that is obvious from the title – Days with the Undead: Book One. Why Zombies? Why write about survival? Those are interesting questions and ones that can be understood when you look at my own life. No I haven't survived a Zombie Apocalypse, in this life or another, but I am a survivor. I have survived a great many things; a life threatening illness, violence, car accidents – I could go one but that might bore you all and the last thing that I want is pity. Empathy, maybe. (Wait, is there such a thing as empathy sales?) The main reason that I write about the Undead is that they scare me. Writing about your own fears can be a cathartic experience. Some might laugh and wonder why I find Zombies scary but the truth of the matter is this – Zombies are the direct juxtaposition of ourselves as a species. They are a reflection of humanity just on the other side of death; not completely dead but there is no saving it. Utterly terrifying when you think about it, right?
Are there other genres that I would like to explore with my writing – absolutely! I love the idea of writing a fully-fledged science fiction novel. Something that would contain all of the science related themes that I find fascinating. The ability to create more fantastical worlds is tempting as well. It's such a spellbinding thought to me that at some point, I would like to write something that would land more squarely in the genre. To write something that falls within the realm of classic horror – like a psychological thriller – would certainly make my day at some point as well. There are so many stories that I want to write, the sky really is my limit when I consider the ideas that she cleverly tucks away into the subconscious of my mind for the perfect opportunity.
In the end, I'd like to leave a legacy of books behind that are as diverse as I am. I have more places to go with Days with the Undead and my mind swims each and every day with ideas for new stories. Will they all become novels? Perhaps not, but I will write each of the ideas that come to mind – let's face it, some are better suited for short stories. I enjoy writing, it makes me feel fulfilled. In the end, I hope that people enjoy what I create – isn't that what all authors strive for?
It was watching Romero's Night of the Living Dead at the tender age of six that solidified Julianne's respect of the Undead. Since that day, she has been preparing herself for the (inevitable) Zombie Apocalypse. While classically trained in all of the ways to defend herself, she took up writing in order to process the desire she now covets; to bestow a second and final death upon the Undead. As the only girl growing up in a family with four children in the Canadian countryside, Julianne needed some form of escape. Her choice was the imaginations of others which only fostered the vibrancy of her own.
Days with the Undead: Book One is her first full-length book, the basis of which can be found in her popular web serial of the same name. You can find Julianne's The Living Dead of Penderghast Manor in the anthology Women of the Living Dead and stories in upcoming anthologies called Childhood Nightmares: Under The Bed and Twisted Realities: Of Myth and Monstrosity from Sirens Call Publications.

Tripoli (Libya) – June 16, 2013 – Libya´s Ministry of Tourism has enlisted the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) to help implement an action plan to rebuild its tourism sector as an effective way to increase national revenue, create employment, foster national cohesion, and enhance the county's international image. A UNWTO mission led by Secretary-General Taleb Rifai made a first approach on the specific needs of the country during a workshop on technical cooperation in the capital Tripoli held from June 9-10, 2013.
Libya is counting on tourism to help rebuild the country, in the light of its ongoing socio-political transformation. Libya´s Ministry of Tourism has drawn up an action plan focused on institutional capacity building to pave the way for sustainable tourism development and calls on the support and participation of its public and private sectors to help implement its plan.
"Achieving sustainable tourism is a propeller to create employment, diversify Libya´s national sources of income, and promote our image as an attractive tourism destination domestically and abroad," said the Minister of Tourism, Mrs. Ikram Bash Imam. "Revitalizing domestic tourism will likewise help foster national cohesion in this significant period of nationwide rebuilding," she added.
"Libya is a prime setting for tourism development, being blessed with natural, cultural, and archaeological assets, including five UNESCO World Heritage Sites," said the UNWTO Secretary-General. "Tourism is the right vehicle to contribute to the international repositioning of Libya whilst contributing to its sustainable economic development and job creation particularly among the youth," he added.
Following a request by the Ministry of Tourism to assist in its tourism development efforts, a UNWTO delegation delivered a first approach during a two-day workshop, addressing issues such as institutional framework building, human resources development, sustainability, image building, and marketing.

Another masterpiece, the best piano sextet ever! That live recording seems a little off-balanced to me. I mean the piano somehow overwhelms the violin in some places. Here is another one, stereo recording, that I enjoy better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-uwugKe3xU.
Of course, speaking of French composers, how can we not mention Ernest Chausson's student Claude Debussy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvFH_6DNRCY)? and Mao Asada's performance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=327n8Gue9Ic)?
And of course, his famous Scheherazade (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17lEx...eature=related) and Michelle Kwan's performance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9cLv...eature=related).
Some more early 20th century (or late 19th century) composers:
Sergei Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecRu6R3qwV4) (Cohen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZQPy...eature=related)
Giacomo Puccini's Tosca (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_pg-...eature=related) (Kwan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNtCqLJddNQ) and Turandot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fYvVRLPVcs)(Arakawa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xzGdVragbo)
Igor Stravinsky's Firebird (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WsqK1mCGeY) (Rochette: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZqWXBhJXck)
I wonder why Dvorak's music has not been used for skating yet? His famous New World Symphony (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tkWv...feature=relmfu) is arguably one of the top 10 best symphonies ever written.

The Heart of Body & Soul
There are precious few New York City nightclubs and club nights that truly deserve a place in the city's lore. Paradise Garage. The Loft. Studio 54. Mother. When it started in 1995 at the Tribeca space known as Vinyl (formerly the site of legendary art-club Area), Body & Soul immediately grabbed a spot in New York's rich nightlife lineage. The eclectic dance music party started in 1996 and went until 2002a lifetime in clubland. The type of party that left pretentious door snobbery at home and welcomed anyone, Body & Soul's renown grew around its three DJs, François K., Danny Krivit, and Joe Claussell. The trio formed a DJ supergroup of sortsone that for a short time protected you from the evils of generic music, obnoxious attitude, and bottle service.
Fly Life caught up with the trio to discuss their storied past and possible future at their 10th anniversary reunion party, held at the onset of P.S.1's Warm Up series in July.
How do you feel New York nightlife has changed since you started Body & Soul 10 years ago? Joe: I believe that Body & Soul left a serious void. In terms of music and community, I think what we had was something special. We created a family. As soon as someone came, no matter what background or what country they came from, they felt like they were at home. I don't really feel that in the city right now.
Danny: The big thing about clubs right now that wasn't so big when we started is that it's very money centered. It's about bottle service.

François: We all know that it's all about real estate. The club where we were doing Body & Soul got sold for $19 million, and they were gonna supposedly put all these fancy, multimillion-dollar lofts in there, and they still even haven't gotten their permits, the architects. The new clubs are not about love of music. They are about investors and cans of beers and counting and sales. The kind of people who are moving to Manhattan these days are very wealthy. To them, they think about the clubbing experience as a fashion accessory, like, "Oh, what kind of shoes am I going to wear tonight, what kind of club am I going to go to?" That's why, personally, I don't really participate or ever play in one of those new big quote-unquote superclubs. I think the vibe sucks. Let's just say it plainly. The vibe sucks.
How did you figure out that you worked so well together? Danny: Me and François knew each other for so many years. As we got to know Joe, there wasn't even a moment's hesitation. We were already like melting together on music, but not having a partygetting together, he [Joe] had his store, and we were getting together to talk music, and get music, and it really was a natural thing.
Joe: With the first offer, I was shocked, I didn't know how to react. Oh, wow. To get over even the jitters because I'm playing with two legends. I'm so grateful that they asked me to do this with them.
Do you plan on playing again on a regular basis? Danny: The opportunities we have, they're really not that appealing. We don't jump at them.
Francois: We do play regularly in Japan. We've done it for the last five years. Official Body & Soul events, everybody, the whole crew goes, dancers, a bunch of us go. We do it for two days, at the height of their holiday in Tokyo, and it's always like a huge event. We just did one in Portugal two weeks ago, as part of a big festival called Rock in Rio. Whatever sounds reasonable, and where we can express what we do, we're definitely into it.
Do you talk to each other about what records you're gonna bring? Joe: That's the special thing about it. No, we don't, really. Sometimes we think about doing that, but it never happens. The beauty of it is how naturally we merge together in what we're doing. Once again, it's the ego that lets us create more freely. We bring this openness, this family, this love for the music, love for each other, this love for the people, above everything, that feeds us food each time.
Danny: We're very sensitive to each other, our moods, where we're going with the music and the crowd. It's like the moment dictates to us what we're going to do. Sometimes we get pretty involved. "No, no! This one first!" Or, "That one's perfect!" "No, wait on that."
Is there a quintessential Body & Soul record? Danny: We played some tonight. But there's more than a handful. We made a top 500 once.
François: I think after four compilation albums, each of which had 15 songs on them, that's about 60. You can refer to that. (Tonight) we played the Rolando "Jaguar" song, and "It's Alright (I Feel It)" by Jocelyn BrownI think those two really capture something. Jocelyn Brown never performed that song for anyone until we called her to do it. She was surprised that anyone would want that song to be performed live. For us, that's always a revelation. If you listen to the lyrics of "It's Alright (I Feel It)," it's like a textbook on how to love and appreciate music and make it a very big part of your life.
François: That ("Jaguar") was definitely broken at Body & Soul. No one was playing it.
Danny: We pitched it down to make it soulfulpitched it down as far as the turntable goes. I remember going to play it and the DJ put it back all the way"What are you doing?" I said, "That's how I play this record." "Really? Oh, you're losing all the energy." "No, you're gonna lose all the soul." It's a different record when played at normal speed.
What club tradition do you feel most connected to? Danny: We (he and François) both met each other at the Loft. Discussing what Body & Soul should be like, the Loft was one of the examples we thought of. Obviously, Paradise Garage was a big influence.
François: I'm a foreigner (French, specifically). I came to New York City because I didn't want to be in a homogenous country. I really wanted to be around the whole melting pot, kitchen sink collection of humanity that makes New York City what it is. When I think back on what makes Body & Soul so special to me, it's that this was the first party where I very, very specifically saw many, many people completely blown away by the fact that there was really everyone there. Old, young, whatever. Ethnic, sexual, age, all the combinations. This really blew my mind. If anything, I think Body & Soul was a true child of New York. This party was only possible here in New York City. I think we all really love New York City.
François K's Deep Space party is held every Monday at Cielo; Danny Krivit's next 718 Sessions event at Club Deep is Sunday, September 17. And look for a new Body & Soul compilation this winter.

We are just getting started! Last night we had a our welcome dinner at the hotel in Florida and a large screen TV was set up in the bar area so that we could watch the Super Bowl. The alarm went off early and we made our way to Sanford Airport. I gave my first lecture while flying over the Caribbean, Machu Picchu, the Andes and the Land of the Incas. It went well! We arrived in Lima about 3:00 local time. Here are a few pictures.
A welcome cocktail party and dinner on February 3

Early morning sunlight of the façade of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Orlando. We are loading up!
I did not get a chance to take many photos on this flight segment but here is a shot of the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral
The Rio Rimac in Callao, Peru, the port city for Lima. Nine million people live in Lima and it is the 4th largest city in South America (behind São Paulo, Rio de Janairo, and Buenos Aires). As such, the rivers are greatly altered.
We visited one of the finest private collections of prehistoric art in all the world, the famous Rafael Largo Herrera.
A dacite carving from the Moché period of coastal Peru
Projectile points from around Peru. The collection was begun in the 1880's, before Peru had developed national laws about digging pre-historic sites.

Gold ornamentation
A fantastic display of gold and silver
Prehistoric necklaces
The grounds are beautiful. Tomorrow we are off to Cusco and the heart of the Sacred Valley.

I have a GE Dishwasher (GSD2020Z04BB), and this past weekend this dial has stopped moving during the wash. The machine runs, the water fills and splashes around inside, but the dial does not move on to the next cycle. Is this the "dishwasher timer"? I used the part finder link on this website repairclinic.com and found item #271324. Could this be the problem? Any help would be great. Thank you, Sean |

It could be the problem. Verify your timer motor is getting 110 volts and not advancing before you order and install the timer. |

Ezzacly. To get to the timer, you'll need to pull the door apart. Be sure to shut off the circuit breaker first! You can also check the timer motor for continuity-- no power applied, safer test.

hey shaun,
i bought this as a little chrissy pressie to hang in the small room - but honestly it's not that great. a lot of the pics have wheels cropped out, the focal lengths are all over the shop, the paper stock is pretty poor (well, it is cheap), it doesn't come with a hole to hang it up, and it doesn't come shipped with protective cardboard covers, so it arrived crumpled and creased much like a newsweek mag or something. they can do better next year.
but the bike selection is great ;)
merry xmas and happy new year if i don't see you before then! - December 23, 2011 at 11:38 AM

"Monumental Dialectics: Staging the Haymarket Square Confrontation,"
in Fifth Estate 372 (Spring 2006): 9-11, 16.
In 1998, I wrote HAYMARKET, the first full-length drama about the Haymarket Square Confrontation of 1886-7. 3 1/2 years later, I worked with Tavia LaFollette to stage a street puppet show in Chicago to commemorate that tale of terror, racism, and class struggle. This piece examines the importance of monuments in the telling and retelling of this story.

This is one of those recipes that comes together in far less time than you'd think. Quinoa cooks up rather quickly, and I prepped the rest of the ingredients while it was simmering away. It's great as a side, or topped with a fried egg - pictured just above. And I'm imagining it being one of those easy-going summer salads that I can prep in advance and not worry about serving hot. I made quinoa patties with the leftovers, and left notes about how to do that in the head notes down below.This is great with crumbled feta. But it's also perfect with thinned-out, salted, plain yogurt. Also, for those of you who are fans of quinoa patties - I made patties out of the leftovers by combining a scant 3 cups of leftovers with 4 beaten eggs, and enough breadcrumbs to thicken things up a bit - 1/2 cup or so. Press with hands firmly into patties, then pan-fry, covered.
- Yield
- 4
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- 3/4 teaspoons fine-grain sea salt
- 1 cup / 6.5 oz / 185 g quinoa, well rinsed and drained
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup / 1 oz / 30g dried currants
- 1 lemon
- 2 sm-med zucchini, grated on box grater
- 4 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- feta cheese, crumbled - as much or as little as you like
- To make the quinoa, heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add most of the green onions, a pinch of the salt, and cook until the onions soften, just a couple minutes. Add the quinoa and cook, stirring occasionally, until the grains dry out and toast a bit, roughly another 3 minutes. Add the water, the currants, the remaining salt; bring to a boil. Dial back the heat and simmer, covered, until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is just cooked through- 15 minutes or so. Be mindful here, you don't want to overcook the quinoa, and have it go to mush. While the quinoa is cooking zest the lemon, and squeeze 2 tablespoons of lemon juice into a small bowl. When the quinoa is cooked, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the zucchini, lemon juice and zest, most of the sesame seeds, and most of the dill. Taste and adjust for salt. Serve, turned out onto a platter, topped with crumbled feta, and the remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and dill. Serves 6. Adapted from the Lemon Quinoa with Currants, Dill, and Zucchini in Maria Speck's Ancient Grains for Modern Meals, published by Ten Speed Press, 2011. Prep time: 10 min - Cook time: 20 min

Scranton Business Administrator Ryan McGowan will be leaving his job with the city on May 29 for a new job in the banking industry, Mayor Chris Doherty said Monday.
With Mr. Doherty not seeking re-election and his term ending Dec. 31, Mr. McGowan is the first member of the outgoing mayor's department heads to leave the fold. Department heads are at-will mayoral appointees, typically replaced by new mayors.
Mr. McGowan accepted a job with M&T Bank in Wilkes-Barre, he and the mayor said.
Business administrator since January 2011, Mr. McGowan was a key figure in City Hall during the city's financial crisis and revision of its Act 47 recovery plan that consumed much of last year, the mayor said.
"He's been tested and passed the test. He's done a great job," Mr. Doherty said.
Mr. McGowan said, "The last few years have been difficult, and we've worked hard to do what needed to be done. I've appreciated the opportunity the mayor has provided and look forward to the next step moving forward. It's a really good opportunity for me, and it's just time" to leave.
Mr. McGowan started with the city in 2003 as a project manager in the Office of Economic and Community Development. He then was deputy director of the Parks Department from January 2004 to November 2006.
He left the city's roster and worked for a nonprofit organization from December 2006 to July 2008. In a return to City Hall in July 2008, Mr. McGowan became city treasurer and held that post until June 2010.
He then shifted back to OECD, where he served as finance and compliance director from June 2010 to January 2011, before becoming business administrator. He earns an annual salary of $53,550.
The city's human resources director, Gina McAndrew, will become acting business administrator. The mayor's secretary, Stephanie Walker, who has human resources experience, will serve as acting human resources director. The mayor said he will not replace his secretary.

text: What's the Best Lightweight Operating System for a Crappy Old Computer?Adam Dachis3/21/11 10:00amFiled to: What's Your Problem?Operating SystemsAsk the ReadersOld computerrepurpose1461EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink It's a common problem: you've got an old computer you don't want to part with but you can't figure out how to make it useful again. The operating system it came with sucks, and there are plenty of great options out there, but which options is the best? That's where you come in. Advertisement Today's problem comes from a fellow going by the pseudonym of Newly Nostalgic from Oxfordshire:I have a relatively old (10 yr old) Packard Bell desktop sitting at home; brand new it ran MS XP on 512mb of RAM - impressive, I know! Now I'm trying to revive it, I have a laptop but my desk longs for this piece of "history!" My lowly piece of silicon now sports a whole 1gb of ram and 250gb of HD space. As for the OS, I have tried Windows XP, Ubuntu Karmic Koala, and Jolicloud 1.0. Both have their ups and downs, but not one of the three quite hit the spot. My usage would consist mostly of internet surfing, social blogging, reference hunting and media streaming—nothing too heavy though!So, Lifehacker people, which (cheap/free) OS is best for me?First I'd like to point out that we actually had a hive five on the best netbook operating system, which offers contenders that have already been ruled out as well as some that have not. To add a sixth option, Puppy Linux is the operating system pictured in the image up top. Finally, if you're not set on having a computer just be a standard computer, there are plenty of other ways you can repurpose it. Those are a few suggestions from the archives, but let's hear what you think. What would you suggest for NNfO? Do you have a problem that needs solving and want help from the Lifehacker community? Email us with the subject "What's Your Problem? Question" (make sure it's that subject exactly or your email will get missed) and we might post it in a future Monday. The best questions are ones that broadly apply to many people and have many possible answers (so that you can get lots of opinions from your fellow readers). If you have a question that's pretty specific to you, or really only has a single solution, try the Open Thread or email send an Ask Lifehacker question instead. You can follow Adam Dachis, the author of this post, on Twitter and Facebook. If you'd like to contact him, Twitter is the most effective means of doing so.
