[PANN] 161203 +) Hey, who are the people who saw Suga crying for the first time ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
+) heol I mean I'm sorry I just thought I was the only one who never saw him cry
I realized after reading the comments
Why do you cry when you've won the Daesang, please don't cry ㅜ
Congrats BTS!
I hope my singer wins the Daesang next year.. (I'm just writing this thoughtlessly)
I'm a fan of another idol and am I the only one who've seen him cry for the first time? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I thought he was pretending to cry because he was touched after winning the award but he was really crying ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
anyway congrats on winning the Daesang (congrats congrats)

1. I'm ARMY and I've seen him tearing up and crying from far at their concerts but it's the first time seeing him crying so hard on the TV so close up too. Seriously that hurt my heart and made me happy for them too... ah.. BTS love you... +129 -2

3. I thought he wouldn't cry ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ but ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ he cried so hard ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ +110 -2
4. There's this thing between ARMYs and BTS members.. we're shocked when we see Min Yoongi cry because he rarely shows his emotions and we thought he didn't cry easily and that he's a strong person. +59 -0
5. He's the guy who used to hold back his tears and say he suffers from dry eye syndrome and that he doesn't tear up easily.... I've seen him cry 3 times in total... I think it was during their early debut days, he read this letter to his members or was it to the fans? he choked at the end of the letter and he cried and he cried while bowing down to his parents when they held their concert at the Gymnastic Stadium. and yesterday ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Yoongi acts like a strong person but he has a very soft heart... but he endures everythingㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ and I heard he cried until his shoulders shook... this gif is just ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ he seemed so happy when they called their name but he just exploded suddenly and cried +57 -0
6. Even I thought he was pretending to cry ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm sorry to BTS fans but ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I thought he covered his face trying to act as if he was touched because he failed to cry but he was actually crying ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He looked cute because he doesn't look like a person who would cry +37 -0
7. cute.. I shouldn't be saying such thing but... he's the guy who looks cute even when he cries... p;ㅠ +32 -1
8. He's good at hiding his feelings so even we were surprised to see him cry. It's the first time seeing him crying so hard and after their Epilogue concertㅜ It must have been difficult but thank you for enduring, Yoongi ♡ +25 -0
I'm not good at comforting someone when they cry. I always cry alone so I don't know what makes you stop crying when you cry in front of another person. Lately, I've not cried even by myself.
9. Aigoo baby +22 -0
10. Yesterday BTS was just awesome.. I mean this... Congrats on winning the Daesang... I'm not saying this as fan of another idol but as a Korean I'm so proud of BTS...! +18 -1

Heidelberg Financial Year 2004/2005: Turnaround in Earnings
Wednesday, June 08, 2005
Press release from the issuing companyHEIDELBERG, Germany--June 7, 2005-- Earnings by Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG turned around in financial year 2004/2005 (April 1, 2004 to March 31, 2005). "Even if the markets and the global economy did not exhibit the robust growth that we had hoped for, particularly in recent months, the figures nevertheless show that we are on the right track and that our measures are beginning to take hold," stated Bernhard Schreier, CEO of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG. Sales of the Heidelberg Group during the period under review grew 3 percent to Euro 3.207 billion (previous year: Euro 3.114 billion) and by 5 percent after adjustments for exchange rate movements. Sales of the largest division, the Press Division (offset printing), increased by around 5 percent to Euro 2.797 billion, or by 7 percent after adjustment for exchange rate movements. The free cash flow was well above the previous year at Euro 154 million, and thereby clearly exceeded expectations. Incoming orders in the financial year just closed were Euro 3.508 billion (previous year: Euro 3.247 billion) and were therefore 8 percent higher than last year's figure. The order backlog at March 31, 2005 was noticeably higher than one year ago. It exceeded Euro 1 billion and, consequently, was almost Euro 300 million higher than at the end of financial year 2003/04. "The operating profit - including the operating loss from NexPress - improved from Euro 10 million to about Euro 160 million," explained Heidelberg's CFO, Dr. Herbert Meyer. "Through the deep restructuring of Heidelberg, we achieved this major improvement in earnings which will have continuing effects." The operating profit of the continuing operations improved by Euro 33 million to Euro 207 million, or around 6.5 percent of sales. The net profit for the Heidelberg Group amounted to Euro 61 million (previous year: Euro -695 million). This corresponds to a return on sales after tax of 1.8 percent. The Management and Supervisory Boards will propose that the Annual General Meeting on July 20, 2005 approves a dividend of Euro 0.30 per share for the year under review. As of March 31, 2005, the Heidelberg Group had a workforce of 18,679 worldwide (previous year: 22,782). The fall of 18 percent is primarily due to the sale of the Digital and Web Systems divisions. Results in the Press and Postpress Divisions improved In the Press Division (offset printing), sales in the financial year just closed rose by approx. 5 percent to Euro 2.797 billion. Incoming orders in the period under review increased by 10 percent on the previous year to around Euro 3.087 billion. The operating profit for 2004/2005 was Euro 183 million (previous year: Euro 151 million). In the Postpress Division (finishing), sales in the period under review were Euro 348 million. Incoming orders were Euro 359 million. The operating profit in this division improved to Euro -2 million (previous year: Euro -18 million). Sales in all regions were up on the previous year, with the exception of North America. Incoming orders improved on last year's figures in all regions, climbing around 8 percent on average. Heidelberg expands assembly capacity on growth market China The new production site in China is being constructed this financial year in the "Shanghai Qingpu Industrial Zone" to the west of Shanghai. The appropriate contractual agreements have been signed and the license to trade has already been issued. The factory, which is still to be constructed and is intended to provide 5,000 sq m of production space , is scheduled for completion by the start of 2006. Delivery of the first postpress products is also expected to start at the beginning of 2006. Employee training and the assembly of the first folders in a temporary building will begin well in advance. Heidelberg is looking to begin manufacturing printing presses in A3 format for the Chinese market as soon as possible after completing the necessary preparatory work. Heidelberg's total investment volume for the site in China amounts to approx. Euro 10 million.. The Company plans to increase the workforce at the new site in the medium term to around 200. Outlook: Sales and earnings for 2005/2006 expected to improve on previous year The Company expects to see moderate growth in sales for the current financial year 2005/2006 on a comparable basis. At the beginning of the year, the high order backlog will provide a solid foundation for sales growth. During the current financial year, Heidelberg is planning to surpass the result of operating activities of financial year 2004/2005 of Euro 167 million as well as the after-tax result of Euro 61 million.

Hippodrome de Longchamp
Bois de Boulogne
From April to November, the Longchamp racecourse hosts the world's loveliest thoroughbred flat racing events. Undoubtedly, the most prestigious is the Qatar Grand Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
The 2010 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe was won by the English horse Workforce, in the last few metres of an exciting race before 48,000 enthusiastic spectators. No need to be a specialist, nor even a punter, to appreciate the astonishing spectacle of the world's greatest thoroughbred horse race.
Ministers and actresses can also be seen in their finest attire, the latter wearing the most extravagant hats in keeping with tradition. An exclusive little world that you can rub shoulders with around the horse presentation stand or observe with your field glasses, an indispensable accessory for this afternoon of racing.
Seven races follow rapidly one upon the other the entire afternoon. The spectacle is everywhere, unexpected and exciting. Here, of course, you're free to snub the experts and support an outsider. Indeed, with a little luck, who knows!
Free shuttle service (every 10 min) from the Porte Maillot, the Pont de Sèvres and the Porte d'Auteuil.
Comfortable in working-class neighbourhoods and the tonier areas of Paris, I never get tired of rediscovering this timeless city. The Sex Pistols set the pace when I was younger. New technologies fill my working days now. My little extra: discovering fine eating spots around the capital for romantic dinners!

Since they are a new challenge blog, they are also looking for two Design Team Members, and I thought I'd give it a try. Here is the sketch provided:
Heere is what I came up with: "Winter Wonderland Anya".
I colored Miss Anya in with my copics, and layered parts of her with dimensionals. I then used Liquid Applique for her "furry" accents, and added stickles to those parts. The light blue paper (Provo Craft) was embossed with the Snow Dots embossing folder which, I was very happy to discover, was a perfect match for the DP I used. I knew I had bought some acetate glitter snowflakes last year, and never used them, so after a bit of digging, I came across them. They were a bit bigger than I had thought, so I just added one of the smaller ones to the center of the organdy bow, and another in the corner diagonal. I punched two snowflakes out of Bashful Blue paper and then covered them in Dazzling Diamonds and added those to the sides of the acetate snowflake. The rhinestones are Tulip, and they are the heat set ones. This is the first time I have used them and I LOVE them. They are sooooo easy to use.
Here is a closer view of the layering.

A Marriage Proposal: The Importance of Equal Marriage and What It Means for All of Us
Audiobook(MP3 on CD)
Temporarily Out of Stock Online
It has been a long time in coming, but from March 2014, marriage will finally be opened up to same-sex couples in the way it has been enjoyed for so long by their opposite-sex counterparts.
Marriage is the institution through which our lives are defined: We are married, divorced, single, or widowed. It gives shape to our family relationships. Through marriage, we have access to the words for the closest connections in our lives, such as aunts and uncles, grandparents and step-children. Marriage is an internationally recognized institution that eases international travel and work for spouses. It formalizes a union using traditions we have built up and treasure. And marriage is the inspiration behind some of our greatest cultural highlights: Love poems and novels, films, music and songs.
Whether we choose to embrace or accept marriage ourselves, for same-sex couples to have been denied that choice is for them to have been denied a human right. Changes will occur as traditions adjust to accommodate new ceremonies, but as Sophie Ward points out in this poignant Short, the history of marriage is one of constant change over the centuries.
Drawing on her personal experience of both marriage and civil partnership, A Marriage Proposal is a moving exploration of what the opening up of marriage means for couples, their families and society as a whole. It sets out why the argument was settled in the right manner. Above all, it is a celebration of the institution of marriage, of its traditions and of the paramount importance for each and every one of us to be able to choose whether or not to say, with absolute equality, "I do".

Rally America has seven stops for their championship season and the first stop is in the northern part of Michigan in the dead of winter. You expect everything to be covered in snow and the temperatures to be cold enough to slap you in the face, and you'd be correct. What you don't expect is to experience the same ridiculous weather at the next round of competition. But as my flight landed in St. Louis, there was news announced that the state of Missouri had declared a state of emergency from the epic snow storm that had just dumped six feet of snow. Not a problem for a seasoned Life Blaster with, I kid you not, mere days of snow driving experience.
Round two of the Rally America season took place in the small town of Salem, Missouri, in the heart of Winnie the Pooh's 100 Acre Wood. There is definitely something about seeing a sunrise in a snow covered landscape that I will never get over. It's definitely a beautiful sight to behold.
Day one of competition started with a shakedown stage. Not every competitor took part in the shakedown, as most were trying to figure out tire situations for the event.
Not 48 hours before, the road conditions were muddy and many of the teams had prepared for a mud and gravel event. The top teams were out early testing tires and driving styles to be suit the conditions.
Antoine L'Estage and Nathalie Richard, both from Canada, are probably the best on icy and snowy road conditions and looked incredibly fast during the shakedown stage. Maybe Crazy Leo (also Canadian) would have been fast too, but he broke a bunch of bones in a skiing accident in Austria just a week before the rally and wasn't able to make it.
In fact, coming almost directly out of Sno*Drift conditions, many of the top teams were ready for the snow and ice.
I know Ken Block gets plenty of snow hooning practice since he lives in the mountains in Utah.
The conditions would change drastically from the first drivers to the last as the layer of snow and ice would be shaved down into slush and mud.
Even still, drivers were pushing hard early in the morning to get a feel for the slippery road surface.
One of the most famous corners in the 100 Acre Wood Rally is midway through the second stage. It is a fast right hand bend where drivers come through almost flat on the throttle while spraying the spectators with dirt and snow. As photographers, we get a seriously up close and personal feel for how quickly rally cars change direction and put down power. Even the 0 car got sideways on this corner, to the delight of the local fans.
Ken Block was the first competitor to come through and I don't think I have ever seen a driver so committed through any corner, in any condition, in any form of competition. Ken was sideways the entire way through the corner, easily carrying 10-15mph over the closest competitor, layering the group of spectators in a nice haze of snow.
Some drivers don't get the corner perfectly and end up pointing the car in your direction. Peter Fetela almost lost it coming out of the bend and cleared me with just inches to spare. Safety first! Peter and the team stayed at the same hotel I did, maybe I should've told him what's what later that night.
It was a solo mission for me out to the 100 Acre Wood Rally and I decided to mount a remote camera on the inside of the turn to be my second shooter. If I could wire up Bohan with a pocket wizard, I'd probably do the same.
Since you aren't with the camera panning with the action, you have to set it up with a ridiculously fast shutter speed to freeze the action. Fortunately with snow and dirt and a rabid rally car, you get a fantastic sense of speed even at those high shutter speeds.
The Super Production and FWD classes seem to get faster and faster every event we attend. Mason Moyle and DVW. They're young but they're fast.
I don't know what else to say except that DVW was killing it until he crashed late Saturday and ACP took the win.
A fascinating bit from following rally is how quickly the service teams set up in the harshest conditions. A full service pit can be put up in minutes, whether on the side of the road or in a high school parking lot, etc. They have to be ready for any type of repair but also need to be ready to pack up quickly and move to the next service or parc expose location.
It's a great place for spectators to pop in and out, to see your favorite driver, and grab an autograph. Rally America does a fantastic job of bringing the action right up to the fans.
Service is also a great time for competitors to take a minute to enjoy time with friends and family while the team is taking care of the car. Competitors regularly tackle three to four stages before coming in for service and it's one of the few times they can step out of the car to stretch or grab a bite to eat before heading out for more stages.
As the competitors are in service refueling themselves, we the photographers quickly make our way to the different stages to try to find a good photo location.
Our adrenaline is running as fast as the competitors', and it's almost mandatory for us to take a breather as well.
The scenery out on rally stages is just spectacular and just a few minutes worth of a hike will bring you out to areas of complete silence.
Unfortunately, the light faded before any competitors made it to where I was situated and I had to make due with shooting in pitch black darkness.
As Ken Block made his way around the hairpin, I noticed there was quite a bit of damage to the front end. I later learned that earlier on the stage, Ken had hit a steep crest and while landing, caught a patch of ice, sending him into a fence and tree. He would be done for the day after this stage.
Hot on the heels of Ken Block were David Higgins…
…and Evan Cline.
The awkward moment when you get bad directions from your co-driver and head straight for a group of spectators. They always let the drivers know when they mess up, be it with cowbells, airhorns, or good old fashioned insults about their mothers.
Day two began in downtown Salem and it was filled with spectators that braved the cold and horrid road conditions to hang out with their favorite drivers.
I had missed the Super Special Stage on Friday, which usually gives you the most photo opportunities. Fortunately on day two, Stages 9 and 11 were identical and I was able to hang out in one area and grab a ton of photos. With Ken Block losing almost 8 minutes (I think) to David Higgins after his crash the night before, Higgins was charging hard to make sure Block would have a hard time catching up.
That just gave Block more motivation as he pushed event harder and after the first three stages of day two had knocked a few minutes off Higgins's lead.
Evan Cline was kicking ass and he's now third in the Rally America standings.
Viorel Dobasu's Evo had ridiculous launch control and was loud as fuck. That is all. LOL

This Honda Fit never really does that well but it's nice to see something your mother would drive flying through a forest.
There were a pair of BMW E36's in the mix and every time, every single time they came around a bend they would slap you with whatever was on the road. Awesome.
Day two was sunny and warm (35º) and although that was great since it was so cold the past few days, the ice and snow would melt and everything became slush. If you stood under trees, you'd get ice rain and if you stood long enough in one area, the warmth from your feet and shoe would melt through the snow and you'd end up in a puddle.
This would play a huge factor in driving conditions later on, as the now melted snow and ice would re-freeze at night.
You could definitely tell the competitors were pushing hard as the ice on the roads gave way to gravel and slush.
FY Racing is usually very quick and competitive but they were suffering from boost issues and were never able to attack the front runners.
There was a great battle in 2WD class with ACP, DVW, and Fast Eddie within seconds of each other the entire day.
Back at service, many teams were doing last minute adjustments to ensure they had the best car for the warmer and muddier road conditions. Joseph Burke was suffering from electrical problems but was able to get back out on the roads in no time.
It's definitely a sore sight to see a rally car with its service team packed up. Ken Block's car had a massive electrical problem after Stage 10 and the drive-by-wire throttle system gave out. They were making great progress shaving minutes off David Higgins and the Subaru Team's lead but had to call it quits after the team couldn't figure out the electrical gremlins. The team's six win streak and quest for a seventh would end.
Hearing this news, David Higgins drove a bit more conservatively knowing that Ken Block had DNF'd with mechanical and Antoine L'Estage DNF'd with a blown head gasket.
Joseph Burke used this as motivation to attack the podium.
Dillon Van Way was still fighting hard against ACP for the 2WD class win. DVW would crash on Stage 11 and had to DNF.
And I don't know what else to write haha.
The last stage I would make it to was Stage 16 and it ran parallel to private farm land.
The awesome thing about rally is the welcoming the locals are. The owner of this farm let spectators park on his field and sold hot dogs all night. Awesome.
As I had mentioned earlier, the snow and ice melted during the day but at night the temperatures dropped quickly and the roads froze over again. I overhead on the radios that the starters on the stage were warning drivers of the icy road conditions. David Higgins ain't care.
And neither did many of the competitors as they swung around the corner at the same speeds they were earlier that morning. Lauchlin O'Sullivan fast enough for an overall podium finish.
ACP took it easy with news of Dillon Van Way crashing out.
It was pretty cool seeing cars come through with brake rotors glowing.
Owner of the Team O'Neil rally school, Tim O'Neil himself, is still showing the kids how it's done.
With Block, L'Estage, and Crazy Leo out, Higgins easily won this round. Joseph Burke managed to get all the way to second place overall, with Lauchlin O'Sullivan rounding out the podium. Evan Cline missed the podium by just one place!

Rally America Round 2: The 100 Acre Wood Rally
Rally America has seven stops for their championship season and the first stop is in the northern part of Michigan in the dead of winter. You expect everything to be covered in snow and the temperatures to be cold enough to slap you in the face, and you'd be correct. What you don't expect is to experience the same ridiculous weather at the next round of competition. But as my flight landed in St. Louis, there was news announced that the state of Missouri had declared a state of emergency from the epic snow storm that had just dumped six feet of snow. Not a problem for a seasoned Life Blaster with, I kid you not, mere days of snow driving experience.

The war against biotech short sellers is heating up once again. Short selling is never going to be a wildly popular investing practice, but it is perfectly legal and essential for the proper function of the capital markets.
But recently, a public watchdog group in Washington with no expertise in financial markets took the unprecedented step of demanding a criminal investigation of a New York hedge-fund manager simply for engaging in short selling biotech stocks. A vocal minority among Arena Pharmaceutical shareholders has taken to shouting "criminal market manipulation" to anyone who vaguely disagrees with their bull thesis; while executives from Ampio Pharmaceuticalsand Osiris Therapeutics use the fear of short sellers and accusations of stock manipulation as a rallying cry for their shareholders.

There are two types of people in the world: Those who can go to a holiday soiree and avoid the globs of spinach dip on their party dresses, and the rest of us, who wake up covered in mystery stains, most likely from the 3am nap on the bathroom floor. Yet even with a closet of dresses speckled in merlot and pot-sticker sauce, the impulse to purchase a new outfit for the holidays still throbs, biologically stuck in the DNA pile somewhere between After Eight cravings and bawling during Tim Hortons commercials.
Financially and environmentally, however, it's time to get strategic in all our clothing purchases. Holly Golightly's little black dress may be lauded as the pinnacle of timeless elegance, but really, Holly was working on a limited budget. She knew that her one dress had to last through the party, masking champagne spills and cigarette ashes, until breakfast at Tiffany's. There is a perfect black dress for every body type and it's worth taking the time to find the right one or having someone make it for you---just make sure it's well-constructed and washable. Then go spend your money on fun accessories, not drycleaning bills.
Sounds boring? We're not suggesting an army of black dresses hovering around the cheese ball. If you're looking for inspiration, check out The Uniform Project (theuniformproject.net). For one year, UP founder Sheena Matheiken wore the same organic cotton-silk black dress as a call-out for sustainability and to raise funds for a charity that supports education for kids living in Indian slums. The project was so successful she has turned over the website to other stylish philanthropists for month-long dress projects. Incredibly, Matheiken created 365 unique looks using only vintage, handmade, reused and donated accessories. She donned hats and scarves, vests, belts and knee-high socks. But if you need inspiration for just one night and have limited time and budget, grab a pair of patterned or bright-coloured tights--- metallic legs always shine on the dance floor (Sock it to Ya, 5495 Spring Garden Road, 429-6725).
Instead of Holly's pearls, party animals might want to accessorize their necks with a faux-fur collar. Looking around downtown, Spree Designer's Market (1528 Brunswick Street, 406-3414) and Elsie's (1530 Queen Street, 425-2599) have reasonably priced second-hand collars on their shelves. We're a big fan of Leave Your Hat On's faux-fur hats and collars (leaveyourhaton.com, Boutique Joliette, 1870 Hollis Street, 405-4057), too. For the fashionably brave or for those planning on some midnight iceskating, designer Thea Crawford also makes cute matching faux-fur leg warmers.
When wearing a black dress keep in mind there is always the risk of looking like an extra from Six Feet Under. And a little sparkle never hurt anyone. The Clothes Horse (1532 Queen Street, 483-7067) always carries a great selection of vintage jewellery, but we're kittens drawn to string at the sight of all those big costume rhinestone rings ($20) on the counter. Dress in Time (5670 Spring Garden Road, 488-7116) also carries an amazing collection of hats, gloves, shoes and handbags. Pretty Things Boutique's mini feathered top hat (5240 Blowers Street, 492-8329) not only screams elfish sass, you can tip it off to escape lame small talk. Keeping with the classic style, Love, Me Boutique (1539 Birmingham Street, 444-3668) is now selling BuenoStyle and OAK Vintage Jewelry. Each locket and pair of earrings is assembled from vintage parts.
To be remembered for more than that long crying jag, learn how to dress like the life of the party on any budget. There are always inexpensive locally designed accessories at the Halifax Crafters' Market (see page 44), on this weekend, or on December 17, check out NSCAD's Intermediate Fashion Show at the Port Campus (7pm, $7-$10) for some ideas. Start a collection of vintage buttons and scraps of lace, or steal your dad's tie clips.
Just don't be afraid to take a style risk---this is the holiday of tinsel and spray-snow, after all.

Let's talk about sex: boys or girls?
Most Australians are opposed to choosing the sex of their child, despite an overwhelming desire by many to have one boy and one girl.
Research led by University of Melbourne demographer Dr Rebecca Kippen has found 80 per cent of people are against sex-selective abortions and 67 per cent are against the use of IVF for sex selection.
Moreover, when asked whether they would support a hypothetical blue or pink pill for sex selection, only 11 per cent said yes.
The findings, published online in Fertility and Sterility today, are based on responses from more than 2,500 people in the Australian Survey of Social Attitudes, and a series of in-depth parental interviews.
Dr Kippen says the results are surprising.
"Very strongly in Australia there is a preference for one child of each sex, rather than sons over daughters, or vice versa," she said.
"But we found a very high opposition to all three methods of sex selection."
Dr Kippen says there are several reasons behind the strong disapproval rates.
"Opposition to these technologies was grounded in three major concerns: the potential for distorted sex ratios; that sex selection can be an expression of gender bias; and a concern about designer infants being created, when parents should be happy with a healthy baby," she said.
But she says only one of these concerns is really valid in Australia.
"They were concerned that if these methods were available parents might use them to choose sons more often than daughters, referencing countries like India and China where there is a real sex imbalance now because of boys being chosen more often than girls," she said.
"The second reason was about gender discrimination, that if it's used to choose boys then it's discrimination against girls in society.
"But even though the first two reasons do exist in other countries, in Australia, choosing boys over girls probably wouldn't be a concern.
"We know that they would be chosen equally if the technology was available because we know that the parents of two boys and two girls are equally likely to have a third child.
"It's not like the parents of two girls are much more likely, there isn't a preference for one or the other in Australia, it's a preference for both - they want both the boy and the girl experience."
She says while people are resistant to sex selection ideas now, in the future they may become more accepting.
"We've been wondering if we should look at where there was the same kind of resistance in the 60s to the contraceptive pill, as it being an unnatural thing, and now no-one really thinks about that, so maybe there is a similar situation with these methods of sex selection," she said.
"My feeling is that if this hypothetical blue or pink pill did become available at some time in the future I think the uptake would be very wide after a few years."
Dr Kippen says people in the United States have been asked whether or not they would support a coloured pill to determine the sex of their children, and she says most people were supportive of the idea.
"I think the US is much more used to this idea of choosing the sex of your children," she said.
"They have another method available for sex selection called sperm sorting, where they spin the sperm out and because the sperm carrying the X chromosome - the female sperm - is slightly heavier than the male sperm, so they can spin it out into pools of female-rich sperm and male-rich sperm.
"So you have a higher chance of getting the sex that you want."
She says the findings will be presented to the National Health and Medical Research Council's review on the ban of IVF sex selection next year.
The ban began in 2004 with the introduction of the NHMRC's ethical guidelines on the use of assisted reproductive technology.
Dr Kippen's study is co-authored by Dr Ann Evans and Dr Edith Gray from Australian National University's Demographic and Social Research Institute.

Not really what dreams are made of!
(2 out of 5 stars)
""Black Tights" belongs to an exciting part of my childhood which helped create a great love for ballet, opera and film art. So naturally, a DVD presentation of this rare - and at least for me - almost mythical film was something to look forward to! But unfortunately, this KINO presentation leaves much to be desired. I guess that this film is now a public domain title, which means that a negative or at least a perfect print might not be available anywhere. But the print used for DVD-transfer by KINO is often badly worn, especially at the reel change points appearing about every tenth minute - proof that a 70mm print was the base for the transfer. Considering this, the sound quality is surprisingly bad and the aspect ratio is not correct. (It should measure 2,2:1 if properly made.)Thankfully, the colors have not faded too badly (some reels display quite a gorgeous palette), but contrasts are weak, and scratches and dirt sometimes overwhelm the image to a point where you almost feel like throwing the disc in the nearest garbage can! But...it's still a rare and nostalgic film with lots of camp value and some very charismatic dancing stars, so it stays in the collection, if reluctantly. It will be interesting to see what the upcoming version from VCI will look like. I have no high hopes this time though! There surely must exist a better kept print somewhere in the world! Shame on KINO! They should have included a warning sticker on the package: For die-hard fans and fools only!"
Gallic charm to spare in this balletomane's dream!
Byron Kolln | the corner where Broadway meets Hollywood | 06/19/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)
"BLACK TIGHTS is a delightful film which showcases 4 ballets choreographed by Roland Petit and featuring his well-known ballet troupe. His wife Zizi Jeanmaire is the central figure in both "La Croqueuse de Diamants" and "Carmen". Moira Shearer stars in "Cyrano de Bergerac" and Cyd Charisse cavorts in "Deuil en 24 Heures". Maurice Chevalier appears to introduce each segment.
For fans of Zizi Jeanmaire, the movie is a must just for "Carmen" alone. This was the ballet created especially for her by Roland Petit. It launched her international career and she danced the role from London to Broadway. This film perfectly recreates the original production, highlighted by her beguiling footwork in "Seguidille". Petit recreates the role of Don Jose. "La Croqueuse de Diamants" is the story of a young woman who lives in a den of thieves and loves to eat diamonds (as Chevalier says, "charming, but expensive"). Jeanmaire's special charms radiate off the screen.
In "Cyrano de Bergerac", Moira Shearer of THE RED SHOES fame plays Roxanne with Roland Petit in the title role. The story of unrequited love plays out it's tragic course and Shearer emotes beautifully as the conflicted Roxanne. Petit gives arguably one of his greatest performances as Cyrano.
"Deuil en 24 Heures" features Cyd Charisse as a young coquette who flirts with younger men, enraging her more-mature husband who gets killed in a duel. The young woman then decides to kick up her heels at Maxim's.
Each of the 30-minute segments is a complete joy. You have no less than 3 of the most beautiful ballet dancers to appear onscreen, coupled with Roland Petit's innovative and economic choreography. A film that balletomanes won't be able to resist!"
Dancers who should not be forgotten
H. Rink | Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | 02/25/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I am a lifelong fan of Cyd Charisse and consider her the very best female dancer hollywood has ever produced - she never disappoints and her feature is the best of the DVD. Moira Shearer, whom I also like but know less of, is also wonderful in her way, vulnerable and graceful. I found Roland Petit's Cyrano (ballet, not his performance) a bit convoluted - a lot of material to get into a feauterette. Zizi Jeanmarie is the epitome of the French dancer and the ballet itself the epitome of what we foreigners think Paris was back in the early 20th centura."
But Unmentioned Surprise Bonus: Early Experimental Dance Fil
V. Stasov | 04/14/2008
(2 out of 5 stars)
"This DVD would not be very high on my list were it not for the final 10 minute bonus at the end of the program. After the unbearably kitschy Black Tights and Bolshoi '67, we discover an unexpected little gem titled Spring Night, an early experimental dance film.
Spring Night is a lushly erotic miniature ballet in the stylistic lineage of the Ballets Russes. It was made in 1935, only a half dozen years after the death of Serge Diaghilev. It was choreographed by the beautiful and sinuous Russian dancer David Lichine, who danced with and choreographed for Colonel de Basil's Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo, one of the splinter companies that formed after the death of Diaghilev.
Spring Night is a Symbolist fusion of stunningly innovative dance, drama, spiritual subtext, cinematographer's art and music, produced by the very long-lived Adolph Zukor, who was one of the pioneers of the film industry. The elegant and hypnotic camera work was done by George Clemens, who went on to do the cinematography for Twilght Zone and other popular television shows.
The dancing is exquisite. Lichine's partner, Texan Nana Gollner is a lovely and inspired match for his exotic beauty, grace and elasticity. Their dancing has a mystical sensuality that is rarely seen. Lichine was a dancer/choreographer for the Ballets Russes, the same company that bore the crown jewel Nijinsky, one of the 20th century's most ingenius, mysterious and innovative dancers. Watching Lichine in the role of the Faun in Spring Night evokes images of Nijinsky as the same character, but in different works. Incredulously, there are no films of Nijinsky dancing, although photographs of him elude to something so beautiful, strange and uniquely groundbreaking that one weeps for more, and for his lost genius, stolen by schizophrenia extreme to such a degree that he had to leave the stage at a quite early age.
If you are at all interested in the Ballets Russes and its contributions to modern art, Spring Night is a gift. Especially if you have seen the outstanding, recently released documentary, Ballets Russes, you may find Spring Night to be especially important and informative. David Lichine's wife was one of the Baby Ballerinas featured in the documentary Ballets Russes, and is interviewed extensively there. There are film clips in BR of the beloved dance team David Lichine and his wife Tania Riabuchinska. She and her husband provided the dance of the Hippos in Disney's Fantasia. Ballets Russes
This short appears on a DVD with Black Tights and Boshoi '67, two lesser offerings that nonetheless have valuable moments, including a surrealistic Bolero danced by dazzling Bolshoi artists on the latter DVD. You'll also have opportunities in Bolshoi '67 to see some of the greats of the Bolshoi during this era, including Maximova, Bessmertnova, Timofeyeva and Mikhail Lavrovsky. Some of the choreography might be unbearable, like "Paganini", where the dancers are running around with violins (or pretend violins) but it's still a treat to view some of these greats in their prime.
Black Tights does have abundant beautiful women with long, gorgeous legs. But the choreography, music and content do not appeal to me, although it may to many others because of their attachment to some of the beauteous stars of the film, like Cyd Charise, Zizi Jean-Maire and Moira Shearer of The Red Shoes and Tales of Hoffmann.
The price of this DVD is worth paying just to experience Spring Night, a sacred artifact from the passing age of the Ballets Russes.
My only fear is that this short is not mentioned on Amazon's description of the program (although it never was, and was consequently quite a delicious surprise). If you are interested in seeing Spring Night, I recommend you contact the seller to see if it's listed on the box."

MercioMercio is one of the Six Fragments of Chaos. He is a lycanthrope, a non-human creature that resembles a sort of wolf. Unlike present lycanthropes, Mercio stands on two legs, wears clothes, and is able to talk and fight. This may come from his existence in Ground Zero, where other lycanthropes had the same ability, or more likely because he is part of chaos.
As one of the Six Fragments, Mercio is immensely powerful, able to fight on equal footing with Id. He also has a high degree of durability, as he is able to withstand many high level attacks from Id and Lamia. Id also notes that Mercio cannot die, probably due to the events that took place at Ground Zero.

A GIANT poll of people taking action over the fuel tax hike reveals half are now less likely to vote for Tony Abbott.
Six in 10 don't support the hike, even if it helps balance the nation's books. Nearly 30 per cent say they will have to cut back on essentials to afford it.
Gathered from 67,000 participants in the Big Petrol Switch campaign, the findings underline voters' sensitivity to changes in petrol prices — and policy.
"They are over a barrel, so to speak," said David Briggs, head of Galaxy Research, which asked about the fuel tax increase in a recent national survey of 1300 voters chosen to represent the electorate as a whole. The Big Petrol Switch survey did not attempt to do this. Still, there are parallels between results.
FAIRER FUEL PRICES: Join The Big Petrol Switch
The Galaxy poll found 55 per cent of voters oppose the reintroduction of fuel excise indexation, even if it pays for road upgrades. The Big Petrol Switch survey found 61 per cent were against it, regardless of whether it helped balance the budget.
Mr Briggs said: "Anything going up in cost is negatively impacting their hip pocket and they don't like it." The Galaxy poll did not ask about whether the tax increase would affect voting preference.
Support for the Big Petrol Switch has grown rapidly since the survey results were compiled. About 90,000 people from across Australia have now joined in two weeks.
The initial goal of the campaign — a joint initiative between consumer movement One Big Switch and News Corp Australia — was to bring together consumers interested in buying a combined $1 million worth of discounted prepaid petrol cards. The time frame was three weeks.
However, more than $20 million of collective buying power has been amassed. It's hoped that this will entice a petrol retailer to give a 5 per cent discount on prepaid cards covering all forms of fuel.
"Families are spending thousands of dollars a year on fuel just to get to the places they need to be — work, school, kids' sport," said One Big Switch campaign director Joel Gibson.
"They have no control over the rising cost and the daily fluctuations and they feel like their local petrol station is holding them to ransom," Mr Gibson said.
"So voters of all stripes are now venting that frustration on the federal government for proposing to bring back petrol excise indexation."
The move is set to raise the price of fuel by 1c/L a year each year from August, costing motorists $4.2 billion over four years, according to the Australian Automobile Association. The net benefit to the federal budget, after subsidies to farmers and miners, is $2.2 billion.
"Fuel prices are always a sensitive issue for motorists and voters; this will only increase if the price is going up because of a tax hike," AAA Chief Executive Andrew McKellar said.
"Many motorists are concerned that this tax hike is unfair and that it will hurt those living in regional and outer metropolitan areas the hardest."

TitaniumTeddyBear's League of Legends Strategy Guide
League of Legends is a great game. Easy to learn, difficult to master and with many heroes to choose from the game stays interesting for ages.
It's also totally free, which is nice.
But while the strategies relating to each hero are complex and extremely varied, the central strategies of the game as a whole are simple, easily understood, easy to apply and, as a general rule, completely ignored by the vast majority of LoL players.
For example, when people feel their team is losing they want to charge up mid and puuuush! Of course when you are losing is absolutely the worst time to push but this seems to slip past most people. And the frustration I feel with players not taking the time to comprehend the game has lead me to do it for them.
Of course, I can understand why people ignore strategy. When you see creeps in a lane you want to kill them. You want to get gold and XP. The fact that the previous 5 attempts to tumble down the lane have resulted in ganking and instant death don't trouble one, because right now things look fine.
I find this frustrating…
Hence this guide.
This guide will serve as a good introduction to beginner and medium level players of LoL and probably a bunch of other DotA-style games too. I hope you find it useful.
Overall Game Strategy
LoL (and damn near every other MOBA game) is a game of 3 stages.
When you understand these 3 stages you will be well on your way to grasping the main LoL strategies.
Stage 1: Laning.
No, not "lanning". I'm no grammar nazi but I do have my pride.
In the laning stage both teams divide themselves up amongst the 3 lanes.
There are basically 3 ways to do this:
I. Standard (2/1/2)
This means 2 at top, 1 at mid, 2 at bottom.
The solo player at mid benefits because they get more gold and XP than the players who have to share with each other. But they are also vulnerable to gangs from both top and bottom.
II. Jungling. (1/1/2)
1 player goes into the "jungle" and kills neutral creeps instead of sitting in their lane. This means that the team as a whole benefits because they will have two players who are solo, and thus they get extra XP.
The second person who is soloing is generally put in the top lane, because this means that the jungler can join the two players in bottom lane and go and take out the dragon when they feel they are up to it. This is a good plan because it means gold for the whole team, which moves the whole team ahead of their opponents.
III. Other.
People seem to forget that there isn't any real reason why we have to do lanes like this. Oh sure, there has been a lot of debate about it and most players seem to think that the standard approach is usually the best. But that doesn't mean it's always the best.
I'm not talking about putting 3 people in a lane because that would (I think) lead to those 3 all getting greatly reduced XP, but there are other arrangements I can think of that could be very good for the team.
For example let's say there is an enemy player who you know is going to be a problem later in the game. If that player takes mid then it might be worth it to put 2 heroes at mid with the goal of harassing the enemy so much that you either kill them a few times or force them to go back home to heal. Either way you slow their build down a bit. And this won't disadvantage your team because you will still have one solo player.
People can of course say: "but in that case our solo player is going against 2 enemies, and they are going to get overwhelmed"!
To this I reply: "that's kind of the point".
Yes, one of your teammates is going to need to play very cautiously in order to survive. But the enemy hero, the one you are afraid of, is going to have to do the same thing.
And anyway this is no different from having one player in the jungle.
My only point is that we need to make sure we don't get too stuck on doing things we've always done simply because we've always done them.
I've lost count of the number of times players have told someone whose taken Ashe that they need to go mid. Often when I ask these people why they think this is a good idea they usually respond "because Ashe always takes mid". This roughly translates as "I have no idea what I'm talking about, but everyone else thinks this is a good idea so I'm going to blindly enforce it".
There are good reasons why Ashe works well in mid. She is a carry, so getting her the bonus gold and XP is helpful, she can gank both top and bottom and it's much easier for her to use her R ability on top or bottom if she is relatively close to them.
Of course none of those reasons apply if the Ashe is a noob, or on Skype with another player.
Keep an open mind.
[EDIT: These days suggesting that Ashe takes mid is seen as heresy because the AP carry goes mid. Of course the fact that the standard meta has changed so much since this article came out proves my point more effectively than I ever could. Don't get stuck on the standard meta, it will change.]

From publisher blurb:
Children of the Hammer is about the other side of Rhune: Dawn of Twilight, the settled, occasionally civilized side of that world. It describes two of the foundation races—the clockwork elves and the dwarves – the principal races that fought, by hammer and gun, to tame the wild eastern hills and settle the Redwall Mountains. This book discusses their love of technology, their grim views on Ragnarök —the Great War to come—and their dire need to drive back the vile, barbaric gloom that threatens to sweep southward and envelop all. This book is their epic tale. And when the fields of battle run red under the smoke trails of alchemical fire— Ragnarök— crisscrossing the blackened, war-torn sky – this may be all that remains to tell those who survive just who, and what, these two nobles races were.

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday spoke of the Federal Government's commitment to an improved living standard for policemen, irrespective of their ranks.
Commissioning the multi-million naira police housing estate at Idimu, a suburb of Lagos, President Jonathan declared that one of the ways government plans to improve their standard of living is through massive transformation of all barracks in the country.
The Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Police Housing Estate, comprising 200 units of three-bedroom flats, was built by Remax Developers under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme.
It was financed by Aso Housing and Loans.
He commended the leadership of the police for the project and urged other government agencies to take a cue from the initiative.
He said: "Not only is this commendable, it is remarkable because it goes a long way in complementing the efforts of the Federal Government in providing low cost housing for the citizenry.
"This government places huge emphasis on housing because the housing sector has the potential of increasing the productivity of every person. A viable housing sector creates jobs and enhances employment opportunities."
The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Abubakar, earlier said that the housing units would be made available for cadres of police officers.
Each flat, he said, would be given out to interested police officers at the rate of N8 million to be paid through a mortgage scheme by the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN).
Similar estates,according to him, are being built in other parts of the country, including Abuja, Kaduna and Kano.
On the need for the Federal Government assistance, he said: "It is only with the aggression of the Federal Government that acute housing shortage of the police can be tackled."

The Russia-Georgia conflict has not only re-defined the balance of power in the Caucasus but also Russia's relations with the world. To understand what a re-emergent Russia wants, Carnegie Europe has hosted the first of its new 'Live from…' video briefing with leading Russian foreign policy expert, Dmitri Trenin, Senior Associate and Deputy Director of the Carnegie Moscow Centre. The 50-minute briefing was moderated by Fabrice Pothier, Director of Carnegie Europe, and David Rennie, Correspondent for The Economist acted as the European respondent.
Strategic Failure
Trenin, attributed the conflict to a triple strategic failure on the parts of the EU, the U.S. as well as Russia. The U.S. failed to prevent Georgian actions in South Ossetia, despite having the diplomatic clout necessary to do so. Europe played its part by not acting boldly and by not asserting itself as the major power in the region that it is. Throughout the discussion, Trenin reiterated that the shift to a military focus in the wake of the conflict will deform Russia's exceedingly well performing domestic agenda. Secondly, Trenin emphasised that the conflict gives greater reason to the support of the more illiberal sections of Russia's political elite whilst the liberals will be forced to retreat. On the other hand, Trenin claimed that the conflict was not a conflict of values, but rather of U.S. hegemony and Russian great power ambitions – Russia wants to be a world player on its own defined terms, rather than on purely U.S. ones.
Fatalistic Europe
David Rennie, Brussels Correspondent for the Economist, responded with a damming report of the EU response claiming that there was a tendency amongst EU officials and institutions, even EU member states, to get lost in a cyclical transference of blame to and from one another as well as onto the United States, saying that there is a tendency to even go so far as to view the situation fatalistically. He stated that a total lack of empathy is likely to seriously harm future Russian-European relations and that there is a reluctance to pragmatically think about what Europe and the EU actually could do in response. Picking up on Trenin's comment about the retreat of Russian liberals, Rennie speculated that by appearing to do nothing, Europe is abandoning the Russian liberals who are capable of creating a working relationship with Europe.
Questions & Answers
The question and answer period saw the participants discuss how the Georgia conflict will affect Russia's foreign policy agenda, as well as what it indicated about Russian foreign policy over the past few years.
There was an emphasis placed on how the Geneva meeting (scheduled for mid-October) should be used to respond to the situation, with participants suggesting that it should be used as a camouflaged way of responding to Russia. Trenin cautioned that all parties should tread very carefully.
Discussion also focused on whether or not there has been a political shift in Russia from non-isolationists and liberals to more conservative, isolationist advocates. Trenin responded that although the numbers have not changed, the non-isolationists have become considerably more muted.

Sam West harbours ambitions of following in the footsteps of his Hampshire heroes.
The Liphook Golf Club talent has recently earned a place in the England South under-16s regional squad – and wants to continue down the same pathway as Justin Rose and Scott Gregory.
West, 15, from Petersfield, has enjoyed a remarkable year and has gone from strength to strength.
The Churcher's College student recorded victories in the Liphook Junior Open, Hockley Junior Open and scooped the Hampshire Schools under-16s and under-18s titles at Cams Halls recently.
As a result, he shaved his handicap from 4.6 to 2.0.
On the back of his success, West was invited to an assessment day at Meon Valley Golf Club and impressed selectors to earn an England South call up.
His dad, Gary, toasted the achievement.
'Sam found out about one month ago – on the back of a good season,' he said.
'He done well in a lot of tournaments, progressed his handicap and has a good record with Hampshire under-16s and under-18s.
'He started the summer playing off 4.6 and he's now down to 2.0.
'To halve your handicap in under a year is the benchmark but it then gets harder.
'In the Hampshire Schools, he pulled it out of the bag down the back stretch, shooting three-under par in the final seven holes to win.
'He finished on one-under par – the only player of the 55-man field to finish under par.
'Sam also carded a 65 at Liphook in August, which is a members record.'
West is another product of the Hampshire conveyor belt that continues to churn out talent.
Rose was a winner of the Hampshire Schools and has gone on to scoop the US Open and Olympic gold.
Meanwhile, Corhampton's Gregory and Meon Valley star Harry Ellis have clinched the British Amateur Championship in the past two years.
West is using their achievements to spur him on.
'Justin Rose carried the baton for Hampshire for many years, winning the Olympics and the US Open,' added his dad.
'On the back of that, we know Scott and his dad well and he is a massive inspiration for the Hampshire boys.
'Then you have Harry Ellis, who goes and follows up Scott by winning the British Amateur Championship.
'They are spurring on all of the Hampshire boys to follow in their footsteps.
'There's a clear pathway for Sam and hopefully has the same work ethic of those – he's been inspired to keep working at it.
'Sam is dedicated and works really hard at it.
'Technically, he's strong now, swings well and his short game is great.
'Sam would like to go to college in America. It's something on his radar but needs to get his handicap down.
'His goal next year is to get his handicap down to scratch and I think he will.'

'Cornard needs its own council'
"I just hope it never happens," is how Great Cornard's parish council chairman described a possible merger between Great Cornard and Sudbury's councils.
The idea, in no way original, has been mooted by some Conservative councillors on Babergh District Council from both Sudbury and Great Cornard.
It has been suggested that with the town sharing so many services, and with so many key decisions affecting Great Cornard residents, it would be an efficient and money-saving way forward.
But Pam White, chairman of Great Cornard Parish Council, said: "When I speak to people they don't want it. I'm just hoping that it never happens."
A response to the idea was put on the agenda of the Great Cornard Parish Council meeting on Monday evening, but was taken off under the advice that it was not an official proposal, "just people saying words", as Mrs White put it.
Mrs White admitted to being annoyed when she heard the idea had been reported without anybody speaking to the parish council.
"They know my ideas, as far as I'm concerned we shouldn't join them. Cornard is Cornard and Sudbury is Sudbury.
"I've got a feeling if we get too caught up with Sudbury in the end we won't be recognised at all."
One thing Mrs White would like to see changed is the involvement the parish council has in Sudbury decisions that directly affect the village, including recent discussions over plans to relocate Sudbury's bus station.
Peter Beer, Babergh District councillor for Great Cornard, agreed that the village needed more of a say on key Sudbury plans, but said joining up would help this.
The Tory councillor believes that if the councils were to merge, residents could benefit from Sudbury's services and council taxes would stay lower as a result.

Why should you take private music lessons?
Private lessons aren't just for kids either! Many adults find that private music lessons offer a sense of satisfaction, while developing new skills.
Are you interested in learning to play an instrument? Kerrisdale Community Centre offers private music instruction to students of all ages interested in piano, violin, saxophone, flute, clarinet, recorder and guitar. We have talented, well-trained, and knowledgeable music teachers. Our goal is to provide an enjoyable learning experience for our students, as we foster a love of music performance.
Private lessons offer an opportunity for band and orchestra students to improve technically on their instrument, while improving their performance abilities. Students who take private lessons are able to progress in their knowledge and ability at a more rapid pace than students who are involved in band or orchestra with no private instruction.
Music help build a sense of confidence, teach consistency, and self-discipline. It also encourages daily practice which helps students develop good routines and a sense of responsibility.
