Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
This is the February 2008 issue of Nintendo Power, labeled as Volume 225. Its featured articles included Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Alone in the Dark, Okami and Assassin's Creed. The issue also has fourteen other previews and ten reviews.
The magazine had a huge preview for Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, an RPG developed by BioWare and published by Sega for the Nintendo DS. The story involves the disappearance of six of the seven Chaos Emeralds. Knuckles has also disappeared, kidnapped by a group called the Marauders. When Sonic discovers all of this he immediately goes to find out what's happening. Most of the characters from the Sonic games will appear in the RPG. Besides Sonic and Knuckles; Tails, Amy, Rouge, Shadow, Big the Cat, and Eggman will make appearances. Rings can be used as a form of currency and familiar locations such as Green Hill Zone and Mystic Ruins will be in the game. A part of the game will take place in an alternate universe that is darker than Sonic games usually approach. A new character named Shade will also be involved somehow, however it is not known whether she will be friend or foe, or will be a possible playable character.
Battles will be the usual RPG fare, up to four characters fight enemies turn-based style. This game will be a bit different though in that the player chooses actions for every character in their battle party before they launch their attack and receive attacks from enemies. Characters can pull off special actions that require "Fatigue points". A single character can execute Power moves, which require player participation through the touch screen. Characters can also join together to create combination attacks. So far there are about 40 combinations and anywhere from two characters to the entire party will be involved. Each character will play a unique role in the game, whether it is through their abilities on the field map or their specialized attacks in battle. The game is expected to see a Fall 2008 release.
The article also includes an interview with the co-founders of BioWare, Dr. Ray Muzycka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk.
Other Highlights

Cardinal, Gelatin Silver Print, thread, 20" x 24"
For many years, Zexter has combined the slow and meditative process of hand-sewn embroidery with the technologically more immediate medium of photography. Her portraits and figurative work explore identity and representations of femininity. She hand stitches intricate puzzles using needle and thread over color and black and white and color photographs that she has taken. The sewn patterns are colored textured drawings, which serve as webs and grids over the photographs, providing another dimension to the images. The sewing creates a filtered experience; much the way emotions and personal history alter everyday perception.
Melissa Zexter was born in Rhode Island and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She holds a BFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA in Photography from New York University.
Zexter has exhibited throughout the United States and overseas including shows at The Triennial Design Museum in Milan, Italy, The Fuller Craft Museum, MA, Robert Mann Gallery, NYC, Muriel Guepin Gallery, NYC, Kenise Barnes Fine Art, NY, and the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Her work has been published and reviewed in numerous publications including AfterImage, ELEPHANT, Juxtapoz, The New York Times, The Boston Herald, The New Yorker, Art New England, The Village Voice, BUST, and New York Magazine.

title: 'Gutsy Gibbon review'
draft: false
public: true
created: '2007-10-20T07:55:00-04:00'
updated: '2016-07-04T12:10:00-05:00'

    - ubuntu

Early in the week, I decided to avoid the release rush and go ahead and update
my laptop to [Ubuntu's](http://www.ubuntu.com) Gutsy Gibbon release. Overall,
it's quite good, with one caveat I'll elaborate on later.

<!--- EXTENDED -->

I'd been having some issues with fonts following a session at ZendCon where I
hooked my laptop up to a widescreen display, and the updates fixed all those
issues. Most things that worked before continued to work, and often in an
improved way. The various new themes available — from GDM to GTK to window
manager themes — make for some pretty displays, and I've found a new look for
my desktop that I really like.

Among the improvements, it installed [trackerd](http://www.gnome.org/projects/tracker/),
a desktop search tool. I'd tried installing this on my own before, but ran into
a ton of dependency issues I couldn't fix. Prior to this, I'd used beagle, which
worked okay, but tended to overlook a lot of files. Trackerd, on the other hand,
indexed my entire box overnight, and stays on top of new files easily. Couple
this with the 'deskbar', and I now have the type of desktop search I've only
seen in Macs.

Last night, I stumbled upon [a forum thread](https://web.archive.org/web/20061110204904/https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl#head-3138701daf76c1fd11c0b68bf5745c1d1ccacca5)
detailing how to get X compositing working with ATI cards. This was something
I've been continually disappointed with; my card supposedly supports it, but
every time I've tried using it, I find it unusable — lots of wierd screen
artifacts, and a huge slowdown in responsiveness. After following the directions
in the linked article, however, I now have compositing going — window drop
shadows, translucency for inactive windows, etc. It looks really nice, and
doesn't seem to be slowing down the machine at all.

No review would be complete without a gripe though, right? And I've got a big
one. In the past, one of the strengths of ubuntu for me has been that suspend
and hibernate have just worked. With this upgrade, however, they no longer work
for me. Evidently, a new kernel option was enabled that is supposed to speed up
these operations… However, the available ATI drivers do not support this
option, which leads, in my case, to a complete inability to suspend or
hibernate, and for others, lockup on resume. Supposedly ATI will be releasing
new drivers that will fix the issue, but there's no published time frame for
when that will happen. Additionally, ubuntu made no announcements about the
issue, and provides no workarounds. To me, this is a huge BC break, and should
have been addressed prior to the release, particularly as there were many, many
complaints about it in the weeks prior to the release.

Gripes aside, I find the new functionality fantastic, and look forward to ATI's
release of new drivers for its Radeon series cards. Perhaps this release will
keep me happy enough that I won't keep lusting for a shiny new Macbook too much.

Grab And Go – This Healthy Lunch Will Get You Back On Track Again!
The Quickest And Easiest Meal Ever!
You know "the look", don't you? It's the one that is sort of a mixture of cringing, disappointment, horror and "whatever you say, Mommy". It makes me feel awful and I really don't want to do that to my kids anymore, even though I do think we should be grateful for the things we have – including all kinds of food.
Heck, I couldn't eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches five days in a row, so I can't expect them to do so! That's why I tried a different kind of sandwich and it turned out a huge success!
Quick Tip: This are super awesome with homemade tortillas but store-bought are really tasty, too!


A farmer at heart experiencing life, new friends,and nature' bounty. I look forward to the many stories yet to come.
Can't wait to hear more and cook together when you get back!!!
You are truly pursuing dreams. Thank you for sharing all of this. I feel I am with you.

Art & CultureTheater
Review: Mother Teresa Sings, in Drag and With Doubts
Theater in Quarantine, a company that since March has been streaming experimental works from its founder's closet, turns the constraints of its odd conditions into a marvelous style.
One of those constraints, of course, is space: The 4-foot-by-8-foot-by-2-foot closet demands shipshape compositions, big-gestured and graphic, that wind up translating beautifully to screens large and small.
Another is time: There is only so much aerobic multitasking that Joshua William Gelb, whose closet it is, can endure alone in his East Village apartment. The rest of the production team operates remotely.
That workout has never been as evident as it is in Heather Christian's "I Am Sending You the Sacred Face," which had its premiere on Theater in Quarantine's YouTube channel on Monday night. Though less than 40 minutes long, it left Gelb panting in the post-show discussion.
It also left me wanting more, which is not usually my response to such obscure, if transfixing, material. Note to those who traffic in the avant-garde: concision is your friend.
But for those who traffic in history and hagiography, concision can be problematic, suggesting a reliance on Wikipedia. "Sacred Face," an "expressionistic musical portrait" of Mother Teresa, addresses that problem by making each minute as dense as possible: verbally, visually, musically and theatrically. It is a layer cake so rich that the self-abnegating Albanian-born nun, whose work with India's dying poor led to a Nobel Prize during her lifetime and canonization after, would surely never touch it.
That paradox is useful here. How can we understand a woman who took her vow of poverty to such extremes that it came to seem like opulence — or even, to some, psychopathology?
In earlier works including the oratorio "Animal Wisdom," Christian has demonstrated an insider's comfort with complex religious thought that makes her a natural fit for this subject. Her restlessly intelligent lyrics, glancingly rhymed and set to gorgeous drones of melody, acknowledge the mysteries of the character and also a range of possible responses to her.
"I like my rotten bulgur, I delight in days of hunger," this Mother Teresa sings in a number called "Poverty Talk," leaving you to decide whether her self-denial is a kind of heroism or masochism.
Actually, it's a simplification of the show's complex methodology to say that Mother Teresa sings that number. Rather, the entire show — songs, speeches and musical accompaniment — has been recorded by Christian, who remains just a voice throughout. Onscreen we see only Gelb, in homemade drag, lip-syncing the libretto while performing intricate choreography by Katie Rose McLaughlin that's a little bit classical Indian, a little bit vogueing Madonna.
As realized by the scenographer Kristen Robinson and the video designer Stivo Arnoczy, the live image is multiplied and kaleidoscoped into compositions that resemble Byzantine altar pieces with their formal framing and visual echoes. If you have never envisioned Mother Teresa as a man with chest hair in a low-cut sari made of sequins and painter's tape, gyrating to songs about poverty as an "exalted state," now you don't have to.
And yet "Sacred Face" is not outrageous merely for the shock or delight of it. Christian specifies drag in the script (and alludes to it in the title) with serious intent; indeed, the production has hired Dito van Reigersberg, sometimes known as Martha Graham Cracker, to provide "drag dramaturgy." In the complexity of a man playing a woman, the show means to illuminate the contradictions of Mother Teresa's self-presentation: At home only in the Calcutta slums, she made her biggest splash in Stockholm; firm in her beliefs in public, she remained, in private, tormented for 50 years by doubt.
I do wish the story had leaned harder into that contradiction — not just in characterization and theatrical style, but in argument. Mother Teresa was, after all, a very public figure.
But except for a preshow recording of her Nobel acceptance speech, in which she emphasized her adamant opposition to abortion — while avoiding mention of her equally adamant opposition to birth control — "Sacred Face" keeps political controversy at a distance. It leaves the audience to intuit the paradox of a woman born into comfortable circumstances who, while easing the suffering of the poor, did little to help prevent their poverty. Why should she, if poverty was so exalted?
For Theater in Quarantine, that may have sounded like a familiar problem. Its constraints refashioned as principles include not just time and space but also money. "Sacred Face," produced with Theater Mitu, had a budget of $2,500, a pittance; St. Teresa's halo is a repurposed LED ring light.
Even so, the level of sophistication attempted within that budget may be stretching the company's abilities and aesthetics too far. To apprehend Christian's lyrics in one listen requires clearer sound than they get here. (Turning on the captioning helps.) And the principle of live performance streamed from a real location — so evident in lower-tech Theater in Quarantine productions like "The 7th Voyage of Egon Tichy," in July — is to some extent undercut by the digital video processing, however impressive. Parts of "Sacred Face" seem to be coming from a computer, not a closet.
These are unavoidable growing pains for a theater adapting a philosophy formed in haste to an ongoing emergency. Also adapting to success. Each of the company's 16 productions since March, seven of them dance presentations, has drawn a bigger audience than the last, starting with a handful of viewers and growing to several thousand. More performances of each work are now offered: Livestreams of "Sacred Face" continue through Friday, after which a recorded version will remain available indefinitely.
To the extent that Theater in Quarantine's growth allows it to produce beguiling niche works like "Sacred Face," I can't but applaud the progress. But as Mother Teresa discovered, playing on larger stages comes with its own contradictions. How long before the company finds that its vow of poverty is too costly to keep?

On completion the newly named Park House and Greenleigh House will comprise 140 studio, one and two bed apartments which the developer says will offer residents a 'city lifestyle in a village environment.'
Tony Moss of ADM Marketing says: 'There is no question that Dawsons Square is one of the largest schemes of its kind to come to market in the area for years and we are delighted to be involved.
'I grew up just around the corner and went to the local primary school next door so I have a real emotional connection with scheme. I am sure my knowledege of the local area will be invaluable.'
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!
Fifteen years ago, almost to the day, I had the crazy notion of starting my own marketing agency.

Fifteen years later I'm still here and that in itself has proved a lot of doubters, cynics and anyone else who boarded the band wagon of negativity wrong.
Let me not kid anyone that it hasn't been a challenge, two recessions and the fickle attitude of some clients towards marketing suppliers saw to that. However, to use a totally inappropriate phrase, 'what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.'
There are plenty of people who have contributed to the journey, not least those clients who backed me from the beginning and still use me today, suppliers who accepted work with little assurance of being paid and of course my loving family who took the brunt of my mood swings which matched the many ups and downs I've experienced.
But the biggest thanks go to all those people who didn't back me, those who promised meetings and didn't deliver, who promised to return phone calls and didn't and those that promised the big, life changing projects, that just didn't quite materialise. Through them came the drive and determination to succeed.
It's been emotional, but here's to the next 15 years....

New Street Mills in Pudsey is a converted mill which on completion will provide just 12, two bedroom apartments. The prominent road side position was perfect for signage, a task successfully completed by ADM.
GPT Construction
Woodside Close in Earby, near Skipton, is a select develiopment of just 3 detached houses. ADM is finalising all external signage and a design led ibrochure in readiness for a full marketing push. ibrochures are becoming more and more popular as they can be produced at a fraction of the cost of traditional print brochures.

Meanwhile The West Yorkshire Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre in Leeds was keen to promote the progress of its fund raising to visitors to the centre by way a giant thermometer - enter ADM. We designed the artwork and produced the free-standing device at no charge to the centre. To say they were grateful was an understatement!

Yakima Special Olympics is perilously close to having to shutter their program to local competitors with disabilities and special needs.
The organization, which is run by volunteers so that participants and their families can compete at no cost, is in need of $35,000 to continue the program in Yakima.
What a shame it would be if sports, health, education and community building, that changes lives of people with intellectual disabilities were to end here. Speaking from first-hand experience, I have seen my wife's cousin, Nicole Campbell (pictured above), benefit greatly by competing in basketball and bowling through Special Olympics. I watched her and her team play at halftime of the Yakima SunKings game last week and I wish I had words to express the joy that I witnessed coming from that group of Special Olympians!
The good news? You can help! By making a donation to the team, you can know that it will help out a tremendous cause and stay right here in the Yakima Valley! As of this writing, SOWA.org has reached $1,195 of their $35k goal.

Unvoluntary escapes, 1719
Daniel Girard, Castle Porter, that is, prison warden/jailkeeper, lost his prisoner, George Pellew, who had been committed to his care by Jean Dobrée. Pellew owed Dobrée money. The Royal Court, under the auspices of the Juge-Délegué, William Le Marchant, had ruled on 8 March 1719 that Daniel Girard should not be required in any way to compensate Dobrée. Dobrée appealed to the Privy Council, who requested a report on precedents to the Royal Court. The following letter is what the Royal Court produced in reply; on reading it, the Privy Councillors confirmed the Royal Court's initial judgment and dismissed the appeal.
Reponce de la Cour au sujet de Jugement entre Monsieur Jean Dobrée & le Portier¹
In Obedience to the Order of the Right Honble the Lords of the Committee for the affairs of Guernezey and Jersey of the 23rd of February last from a sentence delivered to this Royal Court some months ago, concerning an appeal of Mr John Dobrée from a sentence of the said Court of the 8th of March 1719 in favour of Daniel Girard, Keeper of the prison of this island, we beg leave to return the answer following.
By the sentence the Court hath dismist the action entered by Mr Dobrée against Girard, for satisfaction of a debt due to him from one Mr Pellew, a prisoner in said Gaol, whom (as said Dobrée sets forth) Girard hath suffered to escape.
Whereupon their Lordships have been pleased to order that before they report their opinion to his Majesty, the Royal Court return to the Committee an account in writing what the custom of this Island is in cases where Unvoluntary Escapes of prisoners have been made from Gaol. And whether the plaintiff can have any, and what redress against the Gaoler, and what punishment the Court can inflict.
The Court thereupon having ordered the Deputy of His Majesty's clerk or Greffier to make a diligent search for precedents in order to give an answer as positive and as sure as was possible on these difficulties.
We must therefore with great submission inform your Lordships that the precedents in these cases are so various one from the other, that it is hardly possible to fix any positive maxim or custom thereupon; the rather because these records are for the most part very short and doubtfull, not mentioning clearly the particular facts, not the proofs and evidences produced in the same.
We humbly conceive that the Gaoler by the very nature of his Office, as well as by the express laws of the Island is responsible for the Prisoners committed to his charge, and obliged to produce any such Prisoners so committed, and in case the Commitment was for a debt, he is generally speaking and of course obliged to pay the debt by way of Damages. But his we conceive to be in such voluntary Escapes where the Gaoler hath or may be presumed in law, by the Circumstances of the fact, to have any ways been privy, or consenting to, or conniv'd in such Escapes, either by fraud or by any negligences or slackness in his duty. But on the other side, if by the Circumstances of the Escape, it appears that force and violence hath been used, as Breaking of Doors and Walls, Tearing of Locks and Bolts, or other such violent breach of Prisons, such Circumstances being legally proved, we humbly apprehend, that such proof will by the Custom of the Island, be admitted and will avail in discharge and Justification of the Gaoler, either in the whole or in part, according to the nature and fullness of the evidences of such circumstances.
To this we beg leave to add a matter of very great concern and anguish to all the Inhabitants of the Island, and on which they and the Gaolers have made several complaints, and which is commonly made use of by Gaolers as an argument for their justification, which is that there is no prison in the Island, the prison being in the Garrison of Castle-Cornet, where Soldiers have been and may be easily tempted and induced to provide and convey to the prisoners Instruments for breaking the prison and facilitating their Escapes which will scarce be possible for the Gaoler to prevent, having no command of the Soldiers, nor in his power to get such helps as may be necessary, by doubling his guards, having no lodging for such men whom he might engage for that purpose.
As to any punishment being inflicted on Gaolers in case of Unvoluntary Escapes, we know none fixed by any Customs: tho' sometimes thy have been suspended, sometimes depos'd and discharged from their Offices, sometimes obliged to pay the parties the sums for which they were committed to their custody according to the nature of the cases. All which is most humbly submitted to your Lordships' Great Wisdom.
May it please your Lordships,
Your Lordships' most humble and obedient servant, the Judge Delegate, Guernezey.
¹ From the MSS volume Chefs Plaids &c, q.v.
[Dobree]

Branford's Salute American Vodka Supports Veterans
The problem with some products that donate to charity is that the term "a portion of proceeds" can mean anything from a significant donation to pennies, says Mike Lutz, operations manager of Salute American Vodka. That's why with his company's vodka, $1 is donated to veterans organizations for every bottle purchased. "That's built right into our cost and our business model," Lutz says.
The patriotic vodka brand was started in Chicago, but acquired in 2016 by Handcrafted Brands of Branford, a state distributor. The vodka is bottled and distilled in Rochester, New York, using the Salute American Vodka recipe. Lutz says the company would like to move production to Connecticut in the future.
In the meantime, the brand is poised for success. Its launch party in April in Wallingford was co-hosted by retired Lt. Gen. Raymond Palumbo and former Super Bowl champion Tony Siragusa. Currently available in Connecticut, Boston, St. Louis and upstate New York, Lutz says the vodka will ultimately be released nationally.
In addition to its charitable donations and savvy marketing, the spirit is turning heads with what to some consumers will be the most important factor — its flavor. The corn-based vodka, which is distilled four times, was awarded a platinum medal from The Sip Awards and has earned high marks at other spirits competitions. "It's got a sweeter taste profile because of the corn composition," Lutz says.
Indeed, samples tasted for this story had subtle upfront corn-sweetness, but finished smooth, with less burn than many vodkas.

Freedom was enough most days. Keeping to myself had its highs and lows, but I had what I needed. At least I wasn't a coward, head in the sand, refusing to see.
A pinging reminder from my arm told me to turn north, adjusting my stance I complied. A concession to the modern world, the arm unit had proved more useful than not.
Broken it may be, forever stuck in low power mode and the map inaccurate at best, it served its purpose. It kept the respirator functional and the music playing. It sure was needy though, even without AI that the other ones had and even in power-save it sucked down juice faster than I would like. Thankfully it had found the nearest Grid Interface.
The display still showed its amber warning but it should keep me going for a while.
The wind had picked up and the sky above was the usual sea of black clouds. Concerned about moving at night I studied the horizon and watched the lightning… Just a regular storm, no need to worry; I'd get a lot more warning if one of the EYEs was upon me. I should make it to the interface before the storm hits in any case.
The earth raced below and the heavens prepared to crash from above. Yeah, this was enough.

Along with the new D610, Nikon is rumored to introduce the D5300 as an entry-level APS-C format camera. The D5300 should feature the 24MP sensor and 39-point AF system we're all familiar with now.
Additionally, the camera is rumored to be the first to sport Nikon's new EXPEED 4 image processor. However, it's not yet clear if that will yield any advantage over the D5200 in terms of final image quality. If all else is otherwise equal, it will be interesting to see if Nikon adds some additional video features to the D5300. Perhaps the first consumer DSLR to sport 120fps (at 720p)?
Other rumored new additions to the line include built-in WiFi and GPS. I'm not much for geotagging my images; however, I find the WiFi on the Canon 70D that I'm currently testing to a rather cool feature at times.
If the current stream of rumors pans out, we should see the Nikon D5300 announced alongside the Nikon D610 on October 7th or 8th. Expect hands-on details at PhotoPlus 2013, if not final availability by that date.
More when we have it. If you've got legit details to share about the D5300, D610 or other upcoming camera models, drop a line via the contact form.
Nikon 7000 to 7100, 5100 to 5200 to 5300, D300 to D300? Nikon.. Nikon? Bueller….. Bueller……..
Amen. Where's a worthy D300/s replacement?
I think the camera is called the Nikon D7100 – or move up to the D600. Either are more than worthy of replacing the D300.
What would you put into a D400 that would make it better than the 7100? I personally can't think of anything.
Faster processor to clear the buffer coupled with an XQD card slot is the first thing that comes to mind. The buffer for burst shooting is a major achilles heel for the D7100.
@Eric–agreed. I don't even think many would mind the "extra" slot slot to be SD if it could keep up with frame/buffer rates. Maybe the first XQD/SD slotted-camera?
As a pro pj who has shot with the D1/h, D100, D200, D300, D300s, D7000 (and now using a D4), I don't think the D5xxx-series or the D7xxx-series have followed in the same vein as what a successor to the D300-series should be.
The 7100 seems to be a good high-end consumer camera, but not a successor or aimed at the same photog user base. Frame/buffer rate, AF speed-low-light-and accuracy, ruggedness of body build as well as shutter life, etc. As I even like the D7000 in many ways spec-wise, it was never built the same as the D300/s.
Nor do many (myself included) consider the D600 to be a replacement at all. It is a high-mp FX sensor in an amateur-built body, period. (Not to mention the problems with the camera).
Frankly, the same with the D800 to some extent. It surely fills a gap between a "lesser" body and a flagship D4, but was really not a replacement for the D700 user-base. It is a commercial-based user body with amazing resolution, but not for use in the trenches–photojournalism, sports, or any action/movement photography (as the D700 could produce).


Manicouagan Reservoir (also Lake Manicouagan) is an annular lake in central Quebec, Canada, covering an area of 1,942 km. The lake island in its centre is known as René-Levasseur Island, and its highest point is Mount Babel. The structure is believed to have been created 214±1 million years ago by the impact of a meteor of 5-kilometre diameter. The lake and island are clearly seen from space and are sometimes called the "eye of Quebec." With a volume of 139.8 cubic kilometres (33.5 cu mi), the reservoir itself is the fifth largest in the world by volume, although only 35.2 cubic kilometres (8.4 cu mi) can be used for hydro-electric power production.

Singer Amy Winehouse, who had a history of battling drugs and alcohol, had recently left a rehab program.
Singer Amy Winehouse found dead, UK press says
Singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her apartment in London on Saturday, the UK Press Association reported. She was 27.
The "Rehab" singer had a history of battling drugs and alcohol and recently left a British rehabilitation program that a representative said was intended to prepare her for scheduled European concerts.
But she cut short the European concert tour in Belgrade, Serbia, last month after she staggered around the stage and stumbled through several songs.
The troubled British singer was known for a stirring, soulful voice that many considered a throwback to the Motown sound.
She had a breakout year in 2008 when she won several Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for her hit "Rehab." Her album "Back to Black" garnered Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year.
But there was trouble.
Winehouse's volatile marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil took a toll on the singer's career. The couple divorced in 2009 after a stormy two years marked by drug addiction and arrests.
Winehouse's parents went public with their efforts to help their daughter, telling the London Telegraph in 2009 that she was on the road to recovery.
"A gradual recovery, which is good," Winehouse's father, Mitch, told the Telegraph. "With slight backward steps - not drug backward steps, more drink backward steps if you follow my drift. I think that will be the pattern of recovery."

you know how she probably died? She died because that guy who is killing everyone in Norway killed her, with somebody who he knows in London.
Aaaand of course, there's all the cynicism from all over, "She had it coming", "She doesn't deserve sympathy, she was a druggie", blah blah blah...SCREW you guys. She's a human being, regardless if it was the results of her addiction that caused her to pass on. Don't forget she also had been battling emphysema and other respiratory problems. But again, even if it was an O.D., she's a human being, and addiction is a terrible, terrible thing, and it's tragic that she didn't get the help she needed. R.I.P. Amy.
Who cares about her? She was in rehab and checked out early....so she deserved it..she xould ha e gotten help SHE chose not to accept it
jillybean
I am with you Zora only a disgusting and vapid person say horrible things regarding a human's life. Know that a lot of people do care and are saddened by her loss.
I knew it and I saw it coming... R.I.P Amy .
This is not tragic if her death is drug and alcohol abuse related. Nobody forced her to ingest drugs and alchohol, she chose to put these dangerous substances in her body of her own free will. Just as overweight people countinue to eat high fat foods and then die from heart attacks and strokes – I don't feel sorry for them either.
Wow, so only perfect people deserve to live?
It's easy to judge isn't it?....
Wow....you sound like an arrogant condescending person and should be ashamed of yourself. Life is so much better when you don't have so much hate inside you. I feel sorry for you.
@boss – YES!! Only perfect people should live.
WOW!!! I really struck a nerve with the Amy Winehouse Fan Club members!!! You jerks are sooo lame!!! I bet you guys cry more tears for this idiot then you did or will do when your own parents die(d). Gimme a break!!!!

I'm not happy that she is dead, that's always a waste. I won't mourn her though. I mourn kids who saw a cop and then got shot for trusting him. I mourn kids who have no parents because both died of AIDS and they live in a craphole in Africa. Etc. etc.

Even though you can see something like this comming, it's still such a shock & loss! I'm sure her family is devastated! I've been a fan of her music & awesome voice since she landed on the scene, & was rooting for her to get her sh!t together! This is too sad for words! I did note that she was 27. She's now inducted in the "27 club" along with notables like Jimi Hendrix,Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison etc. who all died at age 27! It's an exclusive & impressive club, but you do Not want to aspire to it!! I hope she has found the peace that eluded her in life!!

KINGSTON, Jamaica (JIS) — A new World Bank report is suggesting that, on average, Jamaica would need $16 billion annually to cover losses from natural disasters.
Of this amount, it is estimated that $9 billion would be required to address hurricane damage to public and private buildings.
Titled, 'Advancing Disaster Risk Finance in Jamaica', the report, which outlines proposals for the formulation of a country-specific comprehensive disaster risk finance (DRF) strategy, was revealed during a ceremony at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston today.
According to the World Bank, the document is envisioned to be used as a planning tool for the potential development of a comprehensive DRF strategy that would equip the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service with information and instruments to manage contingent liabilities posed by natural disasters.
Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service, Fayval Williams, welcomed the report, noting that it has laid out in great detail, a roadmap for Jamaica to follow. "I greatly appreciate the work that went into the analysis. It was rigorous, it was practical and the roadmap is straightforward in its suggested implementation," she said.
Williams noted that the report will help the Government to put in place those mechanisms and processes that will support the budget needed for disaster risk financing.
Williams contended that the country is now "at that point where we seriously need to evaluate and implement a set of financial instruments that suit our needs and will provide resources for us to call on to assist with swift recovery".
She argued that access to these resources is critical given the fact that hurricanes rob Jamaica of economic vitality and set the country back, on average, about 2.5 per cent gross domestic product annually.
Citing research findings from the International Monetary Fund, Williams further pointed out that since 1950, more than 12,000 natural disasters have been registered globally. During that same period, the Caribbean has been hit by 324 natural disasters.
"Research shows that the economic impact of these 324 natural disasters in the Caribbean has been substantial, exceeding US$22 billion in cost over the period 1950 to 2016. We suffer about 38 per cent of the global damage from natural disasters," she pointed out.


Thankfully, she said that she wasn't too keen on being a lola anyway. I joked that she should already consider Pawky her grandchild, since he is basically my son.
I've been giving this a lot of thought over the past three years, and it's about time I wrote about it: I'm seriously thinking about going childfree.
I've taken a lot of factors into consideration.

Akshaya Tritiya is one of the most auspicious days for the Hindus. Explore this article and rest of the section to learn more about it.
Festivals : Akshaya Tritiya : Akshaya Tritiya Legend
Akshaya Tritiya Legend
The festival of Akshaya Tritiya, which is deemed as one of the most important for Hindus and Jains, is considered to be a promising occasion to start off any new venture or to invest in shares, gold and other jewelry. Because it is believed that doing so ends in fruitful outcomes: successful and prosperity. Firstly, because on this day and night, the Sun and the Moon are at their radiant best, which astrologically is considered an auspicious occasion, and secondly, because there are many legends or mythological stories running along the festival, lending it its significance makes it quite an awaited event according to the Hindu calendar. Falling on the third (tithi) of bright half of the pan Indian month of Vaishakha, Akshaya Tritiya is celebrated with much dedication and reverence. On this day, people observe fasts, indulge in charity, and pray to various Hindu deities for different reasons. But above everything, it's the legends behind the festival that once again are remembered and a tribute, in deeds and in silence worship is offered to the mythological figures associated with the festival of Akshaya Tritiya.
Akshaya Tritiya Legends & Stories
Lord Parashurama Legend
On the same day as Akshaya Tritiya, Parashurama Jayanti is also observed in several parts of the country, as legend has it that it was on this day that Lord Parashurama was born. In Hindu mythology, he is known to be the 6th incarnation of Lord Vishnu: the Preserver God in the Hindu trinity. According to the puranic scriptures, Lord Parashurama recaptured the land from the sea.
The Mahabharata Connection
According to this legend, it was on the day of Akshaya Tritiya that under Ved Vyasa's dictation, Lord Ganesha started writing the great epic Mahabharata. Even in the epic, Lord Krishna presented the Pandavas, during their exile, with an Akshaya Patra, a bowl that never went empty and provided with an unlimited supply of food on demand.
Krishna Sudama Legend
According to this legend, on the day of Akshaya Tritiya, a childhood friend of Lord Krishna named Sudama came to his palace seeking for some financial aid, with only a handful of rice to offer. Lord Krishna followed this age old Hindu principle of Athithi Devo Bhava (Guest is like God) and treated Sudama nothing less than a king. Taken aback and overwhelmed by the treatment, Sudama couldn't ask for any help but when he returned home, he found his old hut transformed into a palace and received much more than he could have ever asked for from Lord Krishna.
Annapurna's Birth
It is believed, it was on this day that the Goddess of food known as Annapurna, a special avatar of Goddess Parvati, who feeds the hungry, was born. When Lord Shiva, disguised as a beggar, (representing all beggars) went to the Goddess, asking for food, it's said that Goddess Annapurna fed Lord Shiva herself.
Kubera's Appointment
As per the Hindu mythology, Kubera, known to be a banker in heaven, received all his wealth on the day of Akshaya Tritiya by worshipping the Lord Shiva in the temple at Sivapuram. And it was on this day that Lord Shiva blessed Goddess Laxmi with all the riches and made Kubera and Laxmi the custodians of wealth and prosperity.
Sacred Ganges Legend
As per this legend, it was on the day of Akshaya Tritiya that the sacred river Ganges descended from heaven onto the earth.

In celebration of the first show on our now regular monthly night @ The Timbre Room every 4th Saturday, we bring you NorthLeft 007: Hard Reset. For our homecoming, we've created a stacked lineup that showcases the diversity of the Seattle scene with some of the most talented DJs from all corners of the Seattle electronic music scene...performers and artists who don't cater to the mainstream and aren't afraid make music on their terms.
Unless you've been under a rock and not on the dance floor over the last few years, then you know the name Tony H. Originally from Panama, Tony burst on the Seattle scene seemingly from nowhere. Easily one of the hardest working DJs in Seattle, Tony's popularity as a DJ has risen exponentially due to his unmatched skill and ability to operate over a wide spectrum of styles and genres. His unmistakable sound and stage presence is quickly making Tony H an iconic fixture on the Seattle scene.
Renowned for her raw talent and magnetic style, Eva is a world-class DJ who has played alongside some of the greatest international electronic musicians of the last two decades and has gained an international reputation in her own right. Eclectic but always with her signature edginess she brings to every mix, she is a part an elite group of Northwest DJs/producers who can truly consider themselves a legend. Eva has crushed dance floors, and performed in world renowned clubs such as Fabric in London, and been featured in publications MixMag, DJ Mag, and the holy grail BBC Radio 1.
Miss Min.D easily has one of the most diverse and unique palates among Seattle DJs with track selections that include Booty House, Disco swing house, a wide variety of Breaks and Liquid Drum N Bass. Her style and presence behind the decks is a force to be reckoned with and made her one the most beloved performers in Seattle. Over more than a decade, Miss Min.D has become a prolific local DJ, performing in almost every major venue in the city, with a well deserved reputation for track selection and an unmistakable energy.
If you haven't been paying attention, there is a techno uprising in Seattle. At the forefront of this revolution is our brothers and sisters from DEPTH and the man behind it all is Cory Simpson. A champion of minimal, hard and deep techno in our city, Cory brought DEPTH from meager beginnings to being a significant player in the local electronic music scene. His dedication and focus on the dark, deeper side of electronic music is gaining him a reputation for his unique brand of techno locally, nationally and internationally.
Coming out of hibernation, Shamrock returns behind the decks. Co-founder of NorthLeft and originally from south Seattle, he learned the ins and outs of the DJ process by spinning hip hop gaining the cut and paste aesthetic common to the DJs and producers of the golden age of hip hop...an influence that can be heard in his music today. As he gradually transitioned to house and techno, Shamrock's methodical sets reflect his fierce commitment to the darker side of 4/4 based electronic music.

Q: Importing proto file from different package I have two services: Story and Tag. The files are structured in this way:
Story
|-- StoryService
|   `-- proto
|       `-- storyservice.proto
`-- TagService
    `-- proto
        `-- tagservice.proto

Each one of .proto files needs to use messages from the other one. How can I import them into each other?
I tried import "StoryService/proto/storyservice.proto" but it didn't work.

A: If you use protoc, all search paths for import directives should be relative to one of the folders listed in -I (--proto_path) parameter. E.g. if you run protoc -I/path/to/Story --go_out=out StoryService/proto/storyservice.proto, it will be able to import TagService/proto/tagservice.proto (since its path is relative to the Story folder which is listed in -I).
Having said that, you don't really need to make each of your proto files import another one. Recursive proto file import won't work with the error message similar to this one:
a.proto: File recursively imports itself: a.proto -> b.proto -> a.proto

A: You cannot import two proto files into each other.
There are two solutions for your scenario.
1. Having a third proto file that contains all the shared definitions.
2. Making all shared definitions into one of the two protos you have, so one can import the other one.

South Africa's Zuma 'Planning to Remove Finance Minister:' Coalition Partner
By Conor Gaffey On 3/30/17 at 7:40 AM EDT
South Africa's Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan walks with his deputy, Mcebisi Jonas (rear), to a court hearing, Pretoria, South Africa, March 28. Gordhan was popular among businesses and investors for stabilizing the South African economy. Siphiwe Sibeko/Reuters
World South Africa Jacob Zuma African National Congress Pravin Gordhan
South African President Jacob Zuma is planning to fire his finance minister and deputy finance minister in a controversial cabinet reshuffle, according to one of the government's coalition partners.
The South African Communist Party (SACP), which is a partner to the governing African National Congress (ANC), said that Zuma had informed the party that he intended to remove Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and his deputy, Mcebisi Jonas, at discussions between the two parties Monday.
The SACP said that it told Zuma it opposed the planned reshuffle, and senior ANC members have also reportedly advised the president not to remove the ministers.
Zuma appointed Gordhan in December 2015 after dismissing two finance ministers in the space of one week. But Gordhan has proved a tough opponent of the president on several matters, particularly of the Guptas' alleged political influence.
A wealthy business family with close links to Zuma, the Guptas have allegedly offered out cabinet positions despite holding no political offices. Jonas, the deputy finance minister, alleged in March 2016 that the family offered him the post of finance minister before previous incumbent, Nhlanhla Nene, was sacked in December 2015.
The South African president ordered Gordhan to return from an international investor roadshow in London on Monday without giving an explanation. Speculation that Gordhan was going to be fired caused the rand to fall by 4 percent against the U.S. dollar Monday, though it has since partially recovered. The Banking Association of South Africa warned that the action could lead to a credit rating downgrade for the country, Africa's biggest economy.
In its statement, the SACP said that it rejected the "emerging paradigm of presidential prerogative," whereby Zuma could hire and fire ministers without consulting ANC partners.
As president, Zuma technically holds the power to make ministerial appointments and dismissals. The president reportedly told senior ANC officials that he wanted to remove Gordhan and Jonas, replacing the former with Brian Molefe, the former head of state electricity firm ESKOM. Three of the ANC's six most senior officials, including Zuma's deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa, rejected the plan, according to South African news site Times Live.
The president reportedly cited a damning intelligence report on Gordhan, but it is not clear what the contents of the report were. In its statement, the SACP said that it was aware of a "rogue intelligence unit" that produces "false reports" to "smear comrades," and said it had laid a complaint with the head of police and intelligence minister, who had "thus far treated our complaint flippantly."
In 2016, the ANC recorded its worst election result since the end of apartheid, a system of white-minority government and racial oppression of black South Africans, in 1994. The party lost control of key urban areas, including the commercial hub of Johannesburg, and saw its share of the national vote fall. Zuma has come under pressure from some factions within the party to resign after a string of scandals, including the use of state funds to build a swimming pool and other additions at his home in Nkandla.

This is to ensure you're fully covered should you fall ill or need to cancel as a result of the cancer returning. Check out our help article for more information on declaring your cancer.
We are still able to cover terminal conditions. These are looked at on a case by case basis and if your condition is terminal, please call 01708 339029.
Preparation is key when travelling with oesophageal cancer and it's important that your doctor has declared you fit to travel before you head off on your holiday.
Whether you have had recent surgery.
Any breathing difficulties due to anaemia or throat constriction.
Your doctor or oncologist may be able to give you more in depth advice too. They can advise you on travel destinations, what you can expect in the way of maintaining your condition when abroad, what precautions to take, what you may need to pack and more.
When you visit certain countries, you may need to get vaccinations. Some of these vaccinations cannot be carried out while you are on a course of chemotherapy or radiotherapy for your oesophageal cancer. With a weakened immune system, live vaccinations can cause infections and it's not recommended that you go ahead with them.
Even if you're scheduled to stop the chemotherapy cycle before your flight, you will need to get the vaccination in advance – so let your doctor know in advance so they can advise and schedule your vaccinations if necessary, with plenty of time to spare.
See how you feel as you go and try not to overexert yourself. Sometimes one of the nicest things to do on holiday is to relax in the shade with a good book!
As you know, if you have oseophageal cancer, low platelet counts can cause breathing problems, which can require oxygen treatment. If you do require oxygen, be sure to let your airline know in advance so they're prepared to help as best they can.
Most airlines will be happy to help and will advise on what you may need to carry with you on board.
If you feel the journey to the airport gate will be too much, speak to the mobility assistance team to provide help with luggage and getting you to the right places at the right time.
Your doctor can provide you with a printout that summarises your medical condition and treatment plans. Also you might want to include a note from your doctor about medication you intend to take through security.
And of course, ensure you take your travel insurance documents with you so you have quick access to the emergency assistance team and you policy details should you need it.
Some of the medications we can easily get in the UK can be hard to get when abroad. So make sure you bring things you and your travelling party might need. Travel sickness medicine, diarrhoea treatments, and mosquito repellent are handy essentials!

"Identities in transitional societies" is a special issue in the Journal of Psychology in Africa published in May 2017. The aim of this special issue is to present and debate the manifestation of the multiple dimensions of identity as they evolve in transitional societies.
The special issue presents the perspectives of a variety of scholars from across the world-all focussed on and actively involved in finding answers related to the interesting, complex, and dynamic process of making meaning of identities.
Research in this issue emanated from a small rural community in the Eastern Cape (South Africa), through Africa (e.g. Malawi), into Europe (both the Netherlands and various Central Eastern European countries), and to the United States of America (USA).
The issue commences with two conceptual papers that provide a framework for the articles that comprise this issue. These two positional papers are followed by ten original research articles and two brief reports; each with innovative context-sensitive applications.
Together, these contributions provide a glance into the varied nature of identity in transitional societies. This is further examined in Luzelle Naudé's Editorial. Read more about the Journal of Psychology in Africa here.

Pegasus started with only a couple of horses and four riders. We now have a stable of 11-14 therapy horses, over 170 volunteers, and over 210 active riders coming weekly to our facility, off of Cook Street in Palm Desert, California.
Pegasus was originally started in 1981. Lori Sarner, our President Emeritus, started volunteering at Pegasus in 1986. At that point, the program was struggling and was about to end their valuable service provided to the community. Because of Lori's background in Equine Therapy, she "rescued" the program and helped fund and then grow the organization into what it is today. Lori spent the first 10 years from 1986 - 1996 perfecting the therapy program and educating the medical community on the merits of Equine Therapy. She grew the program slowly during that time before expanding the organization.
Lori had worked with an Equine Therapy group in England that met on the grounds of Buckingham Palace, whose major patroness was Princess Anne. Lori also worked with some of the Queen's Horses. Her commitment, love and passion for special needs individuals and horses have helped Pegasus riders soar beyond limitations. In March of 2013 Lori Sarner was honored with special "Woman of the Year" honors by the Riverside County Commission for Women and the Board of Supervisors. See Article and other honors in the press about Lori and Pegasus in our archives. Lori mentored and groomed Chase Berke to eventually become the Lead Instructor and Program Director preparing for the day she would "pass the baton". Chase is on the Board of Directors and Chief of Operations. Chase started volunteering at Pegasus in 1997 and has volunteered for more than 19 years working with Lori Sarner and her vision for Pegasus.
Our riders come from all three of the Coachella Valley's Unified School Districts from classes with severely and multiply disabled, special needs kids. Pegasus provides the buses that transport these riders to the Riding Academy at no cost to the rider. Some of our other riders come from Angel View, the Palm Springs Stroke Recovery Center, Desert Arc, and the Braille Institute and some are referred from the United Cerebral Palsy Association, the Autism Association, ACT for MS, the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center, Loma Linda Hospital, private physicians and physical therapists.
Pegasus Therapeutic Riding — All Special Needs, All Ages — is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization based in Palm Desert, California. We do not receive Federal government funding...the only government funding we receive is via those Coachella Valley Cities that offer community grant programs. We are governed by a Board of Directors and supported by a diverse group of professionals that are dedicated to our mission. Your tax deductible contribution can help!
The secret of success is to try - The secret of love is to love - The secret of life is to live.
Our horses are donated or rescued, they provide an important service to our special needs clients. Our Stable of horses carry on the age old tradition of serving mankind.
The horses go through extensive and constant training to ensure they are qualified for the therapeutic program. All horses are evaluated before they are accepted into the program. Each week from October through May they carry riders through a series of exercises, routines and challenges designed to improve their well being and self esteem while having fun. This is no small order for a horse, but their sensitivity and extraordinary patience is evident when a rider is mounted on a horse.
Not all of our horses are pictured, some are camera shy.

Q: Avoiding DB polling in python-rq app I have a Flask application that schedules long running jobs to run using python-rq. One of my requirements is that the user can specify the number of jobs running at any given time.
The app doesn't need to kill any job in case the user use a smaller value than currently running jobs, but it needs to spawn another one in case the user increases the limit.
To run a job, the rq worker takes some time, but it doesn't need to babysit the job, it can safely run it and move on to the next one.
My issue is, sometimes the initial setup phase can take some time, so using only one worker might not be ideal. Another issue, which bugs me more, is that using this scheme my rq workers have to poll the database to know when they can go on and launch another job. Is there a better way to architect this?


September isn't too far away and tonight I found out I've got a pair of tickets to see Blondie at the iTunes Festival in Camden's Roundhouse!
Last year I went to see Avicii, which was a fantastic night out with two of my housemates and an old friend from University.
I've invited Grace along and we're both taking a half day to ensure we're near the front. It should be an ace night out!
