The guy is missing the point IMHO. It doesn't matter now whether Putin accepts officially that the troops are there or not. Everybody assumes they are there, anyway (clearly, someone trained and competent must operate all that equipment). And for Putin that is no longer a big issue. In for a penny - in for a pound. He will not back off now. Every time Poroshenko tries to bluff his way out and avoid decision, Putin will pin him down and ensure that the next time it will have cost Poroshenko much more. These are the rules these games are played to. Kiev does not stand a chance anymore (even if they ever had). And I believe that America providing Kiev with weapons will only give Putin an excuse to move in officially. Regards P.S. Here is a more pragmatic view on the situation IMHO: http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/02/17/what-putin-learned-from-reagan-ukraine-nicaragua/

It's alright, I'll survive - I have a thick skin Regards

MPLKSI5grFY Can't make this up. Regards P.S. Google, you're creeping me out. Why do you show me "A simple and affordable way to pay towards your funeral." ad on this video? You know something I don't?

The way you composed it - already multi-track and polyphonic - I just couldn't resist. I usually dislike Eno but your piece has a melodic structure to it and is quite nice. Not something I would necessarily listen to on its own but I can see it very enjoyable as a part of an appropriate larger prog number. Regards P.S. Oh, sorry. My erudition in Sci-Fi shows is clearly lacking - which one was it?

Took some liberty to play with that file a bit, hope I didn't damage it too much... Had to zip it to attach... Regards Skip modb.zip

Yes, isn't it just! But I'm sure if you ask they'll say it's "sampling" and shield themselves with 50 lawyers with pens drawn and subpoenas at the ready! Regards

Careful now. With prophesies like that you'll soon get a fatwa or two against you Regards

I always thought that "Eye of the Tiger" itself was a rip off of "What's On My Mind" Which makes Apologetix' version a parody of 2nd order then Regards

This is not exactly the conclusion I made out of that article... To me it says that the final shootout on Maidan was pre-planned and provoked by someone on the protester's side, with obvious involvement of the ultra-right groups. The government was manoeuvred into the fight and lost control before they realised what was going on. Regards

Their new album should surely be a contender for the Album of the Year. And this is not even the best song there... C-U3WKmuOII Regards

Many thanks! You're wonderful Regards

Will you publish the finished piece? As a MIDI maybe? Please? Regards

Darn.. Now I need to vent. I was going to write that I quite liked the first two songs on you EP but it would look as if I was just trying to cheer you up on account of your broken heart, wouldn't it? Darn!.. Regards

She's an ex. She's not supposed to make you feel good anymore. Treat her like a memory. That situation has run its course and is over. You are free to look for someone else now. And your degree is what really matters. Ten, twenty years from now you will hate yourself if you screw up this because of a skirt and a flush of hormones, believe me... Regards

I really do like how this is turning out.... I've been having some fun changing instruments and for now I prefer setting Piano 2 to an organ and one copy of Piano 1 to a bass and another to a saw-wave synth. I'm fairly rusty with sheet music but isn't there a clash between hands in bar 140 in Piano 1? Regards P.S. I am also not quite sure if I got the pause in bar 136 right. Eventually I just left it as a 16th note followed by an 8th and a half pause...

Celebrating the Internet censorship, Chinese-style. ehLjllO7txk Straight from the Cyberspace Administration of China. Endearing... Regards

Yeah, just food for thought... "Make your own conclusions" kind of thing. What does it say to you? Regards

Interesting reading... The untold story of the Maidan massacre Regards

A cute war machine. Latest from GoogleBoston Dynamics. M8YjvHYbZ9w Regards

Here's a good one: http://ololo.fm/search/Kaipa/Distant+Voices Regards

Nice. Your explanation made me think of a famous octatonic piece here They have since given all the materials to The Musical Box and the latter have recreated the complete "Lamb" show, with slides, props and all. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to see them doing it, though I've been to their "Selling England" show and that was absolutely perfect (they are touring Canada and the US now)! Regards

Wot, that skip over there? Nice view, though. Regards

If the dentist is not a complete butcher then pulling the tooth should not be that bad, actually. Certainly not the kind of blood loss as the other one... I don't know if he is going to use anesthetic, if he is, then you may want to drink a glass of water with a couple of teaspoons of sugar (real one, not sweetener) to keep the blood sugar level up and not feel dizzy. On religion v atheism - we used to have a thread for that somewhere in serious topics. Might as well resurrect it, if anyone's interested... Regards

I'm following this. Only, so far, I had nothing useful to add. Regards

One can never be late for that. No need to rush... Regards
