Kacy happen to walk past Ross’s cubical and he did an immediate 180 to see the beauty that just passed by. Though there was a mutual attraction, the two became friends for about three years playing volleyball on the beach, taking trips to Gainesville to watch the Gators play, hours talking on the phone and hanging out with mutual friends. Through their long chats “just as friends” they began to have deep conversations about their personal walks with God, their goals, advice, etc. While everyone encouraged them to date, they simply remained friends and Ross soon left to move to south Florida for work. They continued to speak every month or so, and through Kacy’s encouragement, Ross started attending church and grew into a deep relationship with Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. It was during this time that Ross learned to put God first, while at the same time Kacy was also drawing nearer to God. Although both of them did not realize it at the time, God was using this period to prepare them for one another. It wasn’t until they reconnected while Ross was in Jacksonville during a weekend in March 2012, that they realized God’s perfect plan was for them to be together! Over the holidays, Ross proposed to Kacy in Charleston and now they plan to have a short engagement so excited to begin their lives together and get rid of the distance of being in two different locations. “We just want God’s presence to be known,” said Kacy when asked about their wedding plans. ”We just want it to be about Him and how He brought us together.” Kacy, 32, also wants single girls to be encouraged by her story that true love is worth the wait. ”You just have to wait on God, I keep telling my girlfriends that,” Kacy said. “As hard as it was to wait, I mean, look at what He brought me in the end, HELLO! He’s hot!” she said with a giggle and a blush. Not only is Kacy now one of our lovely brides, she is also one of my best friends, and was a bridesmaid in our wedding, and I couldn’t be happier for my beautiful friend! Here’s some of our favorites from her and Ross’s engagement session! I just LOVE all the colors in the session! INCREDIBLE you guys! Words cannot even describe how beautiful the two of you are! What a gift to have such a talented friend to capture not only the outer beauty, but the inner beauty as well. God bless you! Forever adorable KAcy! You captured her heart and soul so beautifully. Love the flying seagulls shot! What a beautiful couple and beautiful photos!!!! Amazing couple! Amazing photos! Congratuations Kacy and Ross. Scarlett, you’ve truly captured there inner and outer beauty and most importantly their love. Love the photos of my sweet friend and can’t wait for the day they are husband and wife! To God be the glory! Beautiful as always, Scarlett!

Many of the graduates from the School of Communications, Media, Arts and Design have achieved careers in their field. You may be familiar with some of them, as they are active in the news, both delivering the news content and making headlines for their great work. Alumni stories vary but they all come down to their past experience at the college, where they had a good learning experience, mentored by faculty members, and completed hands-on training at Centennial’s media and design labs and through internships. They credited their early experiences at Centennial, for which they have been very grateful for the teachings learned and connections made. Let’s take a look at some familiar faces in the broadcasting and media industry. These three alumni have years of experience in front of the camera but graduated from different programs at Centennial. Broadcasting and Film graduate George Tsioutsioulas has his own show, The Hospitality Guide. He put a lot of work and hours to get to where he is today. He says, “I decided if I couldn't be a rock star, then I could interview them." He has since interviewed A-list celebrities and gone to write, produce, and host shows at OMNI, Global, W Network, APTN and the Biography Channel. Another alumnus in the industry is Liz West, a graduate of the Public Relations and Corporate Communications program. Her career path has taken her to be the face of many popular shows, co-host of big events, and guest hosts of shows like Breakfast Television and Cityline. She has been the Entertainment Specialist in CP24, Citypulse @ 6, the Host of "Star! At The Movies," and the Entertainment Reporter for "Star! Daily." The third alumni in the industry comes from the Journalism program. Kris Reyes worked as a TV news reporter at CityTV and news anchor at Global Toronto’s The Morning Show. She credits Centennial for giving her the opportunity to gain an internship at CTV. Centennial students have a lot to learn from past graduates, but their work serves as an inspiration to many. With long hours ahead, in school, at volunteering opportunities, and during internships, students can see that there are graduates who worked in their field and enjoy it. With Centennial’s applied learning, students have the advantage of gaining industry exposure and on-the-job training.

He graduated summa cum laude from St. Francis College of the University of New England in 1963, and earned his doctorate from Brown University in 1968. His areas of specialization ranged from Québec literature, especially poetry and fiction, to nineteenth- and early twentieth-century French literature, especially Stendhal; lyric poetry; the history of aesthetic and critical theory; and French intellectual history. A true native speaker of French, he read Italian, Spanish, German, Medieval Latin, Portuguese, and Classical Greek. He published four monographs. The most recent, Reading Nelligan (2002), has been recognized as “a landmark” reflecting “impressive breadth and depth of knowledge in nineteenth-century French poetry” (Québec Studies), an “important ouvrage” revealing “un fin jugement analytique et synthétique” (University of Toronto Quarterly) , "a model of its kind" (Montréal Review of Books). The field of Québec studies was a second scholarly focus that Emile developed after establishing himself as a Stendhal specialist: Stendhal Revisited appeared in 1993, Stendhal and Romantic Esthetics in 1985 and La Critique stendhalienne de Balzac à Zola in 1979. At his death, Emile had completed about two thirds of a book on Québec poetry of the 1930s. His scholarly standing brought him invitations to serve as the editor of Québec Studies, as a member of the editorial board of Nouvelles Études francophones, Études francophones, La Revue francophone, Nineteenth-Century French Studies, and as The French Review’s editor for creative works. He published numerous articles in such journals as The French Review, Québec Studies, Dalhousie French Studies, the International Journal of Canadian Studies, Studies in Canadian Literature/Études en littérature canadienne, Revue francophone, Nineteenth-Century French Studies, French Forum, Studies in Romanticism, and Stendhal Club. He is remembered as a generous collaborator by the professional societies to which he belonged, particularly the American Council for Québec Studies (ACQS), of which he was Vice-President, President, and Past President, and the Conseil International d’Études Francophones, on whose Executive Committee he served. For his contributions to the development of the field of Québec studies, he received the prestigious Prix du Québec in 2006, an award made by the ACQS executive board in consultation with the Québec government to honor US based non-Canadian scholars for outstanding scholarship and service in the area of Québec studies. The French government made him Chevalier des palmes académiques. The twenty-three doctoral dissertations that he directed are a monument to the impact of his intellectual interests on students in the Department (please see below). His former students remember him as an inspired, exceptional teacher. At the undergraduate level, he taught Introduction to Québec literature, Realism and Impressionism in Literature and the Arts, Heroes and Heroines: From Roland to Beckett, The French Intellectual Tradition, Paris: A Social and Cultural History, and Renaissance Humanism. At the graduate level he taught courses in Romanticism, Realism and Naturalism, Studies in Verlaine, Rimbaud and the Symbolists; Stendhal; Baudelaire; Proust; Short Fiction from Nodier to Maupassant; the Contemporary Québec Novel; and Québec Fiction and Poetry since the 1930s. What was Émile Talbot's area of specialization and what languages could he read?</s> <|assistant|> Émile Talbot's areas of specialization included Québec literature, especially poetry and fiction, nineteenth- and early twentieth-century French literature, especially Stendhal; lyric poetry; the history of aesthetic and critical theory; and French intellectual history.

Hi, Thanks for visiting my website. My name is Will and if you have questions or would like to contribute projects or ideas you can contact me When it comes to sword making there are a lot of important things to consider. And most important of them all is the steel. This is because there are a thousand different steels. And while they are all "steel". Only some are actually good for a sword. In this tutorial I explain to you some good guidelines and rules of thumb for steel and sword making. And I make a sword using a low carbon steel much to disastrous results. I also have a video at the bottom of the page. Will has a youtube channel with over 700 videos on projects you can make. Check it out right here So, what exactly is Steel? There is a very simple answer. It is Iron that has carbon added to it during the smelting or forging process. The iron is heated and small amounts of carbon are added. These carbon atoms bind with the Iron atoms to form steel. That is simple enough to understand but it can get a bit more complicated. This is because you can add more and more carbon, binding more atoms. And as you add more carbon the properties of the steel change. It gets harder and harder and tougher and tougher. This is of course what makes steel so amazing - it's toughness and its hardness. But... the steel will get to the point where it no longer has flexibility - It can crack or shatter easily. So, there is definitely a range of steel that is suitable for sword making. And this range is typically called High carbon steel. Around .6 percent carbon in the steel is about right for swords. That can vary a bit , let's say from .5 percent to as much as 1 percent carbon in the steel. This percentage change can depend on whether the steel has other elements included such as vanadium, manganese, or chromium. The percentage difference can also be manipulated and made usable for swords by a blacksmith or swordsmith during the heat treatment phase of making the sword. Carbon Steel The type of steel we have been talking about is called Carbon steel because it has carbon added. And as a rule of thumb there are three categories of carbon steel: Low carbon steel, medium carbon steel and high carbon steel. Low carbon steel - ( also called Mild Steel) is not suitable for swords (In the video below I make a sword using low carbon steel). It is too soft and malleable. It will not hold it's shape well and it will not hold an edge well. Low carbon steel typically contains between 0.04% to 0.30% carbon. And it generally isn't heat treated. It doesn't harden well under heat treatment. Medium carbon steel - It typically contains between 0.31% to 0.60% carbon. It also contains a small amount of manganese. Medium carbon steel is heat treatable but still too soft and malleable for sword making. Although when we get to abouit the .60% range we can have a very suitable sword. High Carbon Steel - We are looking at the lower range of this for sword making. It ranges from .61% to 1.50 percent carbon and it is also known as tool steel. In th elower range it is excellent for sword blades and it can be heat treated very well. It retains good strength and can keep a good edge. But once we start going over 1% the steel is too hard and rigid for swords. In the video below I make a low carbon steel sword. Learn about it and watch what happens to the sword when we apply pressure to it. The video is here: Would you consider a donation of $1 to support my work? Paypal makes it very easy and safe. Click here to donate $1 - Every little bit helps Will to keep making great tutorials and projects. Thanks! The Steel of a sword If you are looking to buy a sword you might be wondering about the steel. There are a lot of types of steel, 1060? 1065? What does all this mean and is it important? I explain it all, what the numbers mean and what a good steel is for a sword. About Steel and Swords What is the ideal range of carbon content in steel for sword making?</s> <|assistant|> The ideal range of carbon content in steel for sword making is around .6 percent. This can vary a bit, from .5 percent to as much as 1 percent carbon in the steel. This percentage change can depend on whether the steel has other elements included such as vanadium, manganese, or chromium.</s>

<|system|> You are a friendly chatbot who always answer users question by looking into the provided context.</s> <|user|> It’s official. My case of cabin fever has moved beyond the stage of being curable — at least, that is, by anything other than time. No amount of willpower, movie watching, exercising, music listening, Valentine’s Day-ing (though I must say my valentine is one very bright spot, even in these sunless days) or cookie eating is going to tear me from the threshold of these winter blues. It happens every year, and so I’ve come to expect it and, like a flower wrapped tightly in its bud, wait (mostly) patiently for the impending thaw of springtime, when it bursts in a colorful force through the crunchy gray snow and melts all of it — and my wintry woes — away. In the waiting, however, I’ve learned to create for myself an arsenal of survival tools — a really good book , some good company, a few cups of warm tea. And now, perhaps, this bread, as rustic and reliable as one needs when he or she is feeling cabin feverish. This bread — this rieska, this Finnish wonder of ridiculously easy bread baking — is a true companion in these darker days. I don’t know what it is about this recipe that first caught my attention. Maybe it was the simplicity of it, or the basic roll call of ingredients. Maybe it was the description — a “cakey drop biscuit,” an “easy baking powder bread,” “packed with whole grains.” Or, perhaps, it was the adventure of creating something I never had before. Or, maybe it was because I just wanted a really good sandwich. In any case, rieska is one recipe I won’t be leaving behind. It’s durable enough to hold a few slices of meat, cheese and veggies, but soft and moist enough to warrant its “cakey” descriptor. It takes less time to throw together than it does for me to get dressed in the morning, and its buttery and mildly sweet flavor is unusually refreshing — not at all how you’d expect it to taste at first sight. It’s just the thing for those, like me, who are anxiously counting down the days to when the sun re-emerges from behind the clouds, when the birds start chirping and the chilly trees clothe themselves once again in fragile, flapping green leaves. Until then, this bread will keep me satisfied. Rieska Courtesy of King Arthur Flour Yields: 2 dozen 2-inch squares Ingredients: 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats 1 cup dark or light rye flour, or pumpernickel flour (I used dark rye) 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons sugar 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups buttermilk Directions: Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish and set aside. In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together oats, rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Add butter in small cubes and cut into the dry mix, using a fork or pastry blender, until the butter is thoroughly distributed. Stir in buttermilk until well combined. Pour batter into prepared dish and spread evenly with a spatula. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until top of bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool in baking dish completely before slicing or serving. Very interesting recipe! And you say it holds up well in a sandwich? Talk about easiest bread ever! This sounds perfect for the veg sandwiches I eat. Always need a good sturdy bread to give the sandwich some extra oomph. Those people over at King Arthur are geniuses. hahaha, interesting survival tool, plus delicious. That looks fantastic! I tend to be more “hands on” when it comes to cutting in butter. Do you think it would matter much if I kneaded it in (like you would for biscuits), or is the temperature of the butter important? I’m probably overthinking this, the recipe doesn’t look very finicky, but still 😛 Johanna — You incorporate the butter a lot like how you would for biscuits, so yes, using your hands to cutting it in works just fine. Mine burned badly… 16 minutes. Any thoughts? Also, how many servings do you get when you use it for sandwiches? Kristen — I’m so sorry to hear that! I know everyone’s oven behaves differently, so maybe next time bake it at 450 degrees F and see if that helps. Also, it’s been forever and a day since I’ve made this recipe so I don’t exactly remember how many sandwiches it makes, but my guess is about 6 to 8 sandwiches. What are the ingredients needed to bake Rieska, the Finnish bread?</s> <|assistant|> The ingredients needed to bake Rieska are 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup dark or light rye flour, or pumpernickel flour, 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1 1/2 cups buttermilk.</s>

Yesterday, Mitch Hurwitz tweeted: “Done! Just finished the final mix last night. In two weeks Arrested Development will be yours to do with as you please. Except for 1 thing! You gotta watch them in order. Turns out I was not successful in creating a form where the setup follows the punch line.” Nooooooo! But you prooooooooomiiissssed! What’s next, OBAMA? What other rights do you plan to snatch out from beneath our weary feet? What other viewing suggestions might you impose on our new season of Arrested Development?! (Ideas for other imposed viewing suggestions after the jump.) - New season must be watched at a volume that isn’t too loud but definitely is just slightly louder than you need it to be, so you never feel like you’re straining. - New season must be watched with clean glasses, contacts that aren’t currently hurting your eyes, or vision that is perfect enough to escape the need of glasses and contacts. - New season must be watched with snacks. - New season must be watched while someone who lives in the apartment below you HAS BAND PRACTICE. - New season must either be watched with friends or during alone time that feels good and energizing. - New season must be watched on top of a tall mountain that, like, YOU CAN’T EVEN REACH. - New season must be watched without the sun shining directly onto your television or computer screen, so you can actually see it. - New season must be watched IN HANDCUFFS. - New season must be watched with your dog on your lap, if you have a small to medium-sized dog. Ugggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh. •New season must be watched while tweeting about watching new season. #newseason First they came for the out-of-order shows, and I said nothing, because I don’t watch out of order shows. New season must not be watched. New season must be pieced together in your mind via Internet references. You got to have a stew going. But Kelly, what do I do if I don’t have a small to medium sized dog, but I have an average size house cat? Can I still watch the show? • New season must be watched in your mansion on your designer couch with your English butler serving you expensive drinks and snacks from a gold platter. Once you watch the new season, you will die in 7 days. You must finish any vodka you open before you finish watching the episode so it doesn’t go bad. Dead season. Do not watch. Listen, this doesn’t relate to anything talked about here but it means about as much if not more… Watch it outside on a big projector with your hop-ons. You’re going to get some hop-ons. If your friends don’t want to watch it all at once, goad them into it with a chicken dance of your choosing new season must be watched partially then you run outside to chase squirrels #ADD I don’t understand the question, and I won’t respond to it. New season, if being watched in the morning, must be watched with vodka and a piece of toast. The new season must be watched with a nagging feeling that it’s all a big precursor to a movie which seems totally unnecessary and may or may not ever happen such that you can’t quite relax and just enjoy it for what it is What was the one condition Mitch Hurwitz imposed on watching the new season of Arrested Development?</s> <|assistant|> You gotta watch them in order.</s>

The purpose of BabyFur.ME is to unite furs who share these interests in common in a safe and judgment free format. This community is private and requires registration. Babyfur trolling/bashing is not tolerated and will result in immediate ban. Site membership is currently restricted to furries only.. There are a few sub-groups within the babyfur community which are often described with the following terminology : Many people don't identify with one single group, but can change roles depending on the situation and who they are interacting with.. Various paraphernalia help to satisfy these preferences: Many babyfurs enjoy wearing all sorts of clothing. Some say the cuter it looks, the better it is. Such articles of clothing include the following : Overalls, Shortalls, Booties, Dresses, Onesies, Pajamas, Pants, Footed sleepers, Mittens, Bows. A toddler's life is not complete without items such as cribs, walkers, strollers, high chairs, car seats/booster seats, pacifiers, baby bottles/sippy cups, talcum powder and bubble baths. Many babyfurs use these objects in online roleplay and would love to be able to use them in the real world. As well as physical objects, some babyfurs find a keen interest in actions like blowing a raspberry, being held, or watching old television shows that are no longer available on TV. Many old children's shows such as 80's and early 90's cartoons on Nickelodeon were the same shows some babyfurs watched when they were little, and reminiscing about them leaves a nostalgic warmth. Diapers are an item frequently used while "cubbing out". Like other aspects of babyfur, this can be done in the virtual world, the real world, or both. There are many babyfurs, however, that while they will wear diapers in online roles, do not in real life. Many babyfurs will wear diapers in real life for a feeling of security and comfort, but will not use them for their intended purpose. At the other end of the spectrum, there are some babyfurs that, either by choice or by necessity, wear and use diapers all the time. Why babyfurs wear, and possibly use, diapers in the real world is varied. For some, they are forced to wear them because of a medical condition and have no choice in the matter. These people have often blended their real life situation with that of their furry persona. For others, it is a way they can regress into their furry persona's age. Some others see the diapers as a connection to their furry persona, paralleling a tail or fursuit in the general furry community. The wearing (and especially the use) of diapers in the real world are at the heart of many issues that some members of the furry community in general have with the babyfurs. For example, it is not generally considered appropriate for a diaper user to soil themselves at a convention in the presence of other furry fans - or to put themselves in a situation where this is likely to happen - yet individuals have been known to do this, to the detriment of the group's reputation. When cubbing out in both the real world and in online roleplaying, the level of connection to the role will vary between each player. Some babyfurs will become so involved and yearn for such an authentic childish mentality that they will use speech impediments and baby talk to communicate. Very few babyfurs make a habit out of using babytalk in the real world, similar to a gay lisp. Depending on the situation, a babyfur could even develop a habit of whining or crying to get what he/she wants from a caregiver or another roleplayer. In light online role-playing, babyfurs may toddle, crawl and wag their tails playfully while the sounds of crinkling diapers abound. Pouncing, giggling, cuddling, snuggling and tummy rubbing ensue with the maximum possible level of cuteness. Child-like behaviour, baby animal sounds and an emphasis on cuteness can be found among some furry fans when among themselves, even those who don't call themselves babyfurs and who don't participate in other babyfur activities described here, such as diapers or baby clothing. While most babyfurs are closely attached to the development of young humans, a different approach can be found in online role-play, where newborn zoomorphic and anthropomorphic characters often grow up at a similar pace as wild animals, doing without accessories such as diapers and learning to walk in a short time. This has the practical advantage of sooner getting into an age that allows interesting role-play even for non-babyfurs when playing a character since birth. As in nature, opinions on when a character can be considered adult vary greatly. "Cubbing Out" is a general term used by the community to describe roleplaying as a babyfur character. This can either be roleplay in the virtual world or the real world. Usually it will involve one or more regressed characters or people interacting with each other or with a caregiver. "Padding" and "Getting Padded" may also refer to cubbing, in particular regarding to being diapered. Caregivers (or caretakers) are the 'mommy' and 'daddy' figures in the roleplay. For the most part, they interact with other babyfurs as a mother or father would with their child. This can include playing with, cleaning or disciplining the younger character. Just like furries in general, babyfurs go to conventions to spend time with friends and express their furriness. For many, that includes their babyfur aspects too. One may see many babyfurs dressed in juvenile clothing and with various paraphernalia because that is part of how they choose to express themselves. To some babyfurs, dressing in such a way is no different than other furries wearing ears, tails or fursuits. At many conventions, hotel rooms are set up as gathering places for babyfurs to socialize privately, and many conventions now have unique babyfur rooms/parties available, instead of relying on the same people to run the same parties at every con. Two of the most notable are the C'ubhouse, run by LilPup, as well as the Cub Hub, a new room run by any of its core members (FoxCub, Natasha Softpaw, and Scritchwuff, currently) who show up for a particular con. ----------------------------------------------- WikiFur contributors, "BabyFur," WikiFur the free encyclopedia written by and for the Furry community, (accessed April 30, 2011).

Hope that helps, Jen Thank you Jen. I'll ask Ning to relinquish the Member ID for the group creator. So there's no confusion, what I was mainly suggesting: If the original Group Creator is willing to turn over their member ID on your site, to the Company, that would be great. If Ning is able to remove the Group Creator Ownership, and release back to you, that would work. Then, you could simply make the "Company" the Administrator. But, not sure they can. On another note: Best I remember, when you delete a member on 2.0, you have the option to retain their content. It gets tricky in 2.0. Main thing, just don't want your Group to get deleted, accidentally. Best of luck, Jen Thanks Jen for your brainstorming. We were able to fix the problem with a work-around. We had the original group creator login and change her name to the company's name, change her picture and email and password to the company's also. And voila!...success. She then opened a new account for her personal use. A lot easier than custom CSS code (which I don't know how to do...) Thanks! That's fantastic! That's the nice thing a/b having Creators here. Sometimes it helps to just brainstorm back-n-forth and *walllah* the solution comes to you. What was the solution to transfer the group ownership from the original creator to the company?</s> <|assistant|> The original group creator logged in and changed her name to the company's name, changed her picture and email and password to the company's also.

<|system|> You are a friendly chatbot who always answer users question by looking into the provided context.</s> <|user|> I had a question from a reader, and being mainly a vegetable gardener, I'm not familiar with this plant so I'm not sure what to tell her. I have certainly heard of catnip, but I've never before heard of dognip. Granny~ I came across this new plant in the nursery and wondered if you'd seen one before. I planted it in a huge pot and it has completely taken over. I think it's called Dognip. Let me know what you think of it. ~Langela If anyone can give her the name of this plant, I'm sure she (and I) would appreciate it. I love it, and would like to know how to get a start from it. TIA I think you need to take a long nap! Your out of your cotton picking mind :o) Stupid me, fell right into that brick wall ! Do you have a bridge I can buy? LOL Ginny, I don't have a bridge, but I have some ocean view property in Arizona I could sell you....cheap! What a doll. Why should the gardeners have all of the fun!? Lol, now that is a variety I have not seen before! - And what on earth has she been feeding it?!? ;) Ribbit, we sure do, don't we? ******** Kelly, I don't know, but if I find out I'm giving some to Annie and Otto! ha! so sweet.=) I'm not familiar with the variety, but it sure looks healthy! Kelli, I fell in love with it! It's my desktop photo right now :-) ******** Villager, I'd have to guess it is the dognip variety Genus Golden Labradoris. I think I have seen this before. It is very invasive and takes over everything including your couch and bed. Rachel, in that case could it possibly be related to Genus Dachsundaris? I have that variety, and agree it is terribly invasive. I have actually had to have it physically removed from my dinner plate. Nice, I fell for it too. I've seen one of those around. We try to keep it out of the vegetable garden. It's invasive, alright. It also kills young seedlings. LOL~ I was wondering why the dog was blocking the picture of the plants. I still didn't get it until "Golden Labradoris." Pray for me. Sherry, it's a good thing it's so pretty, there's no way we'd want to eradicate it. ******* Oh dear, Cheryl. Bless her, Father, for she has sinned..... Too cute...you almost got me Granny. You got me! What a hoot! I'm going to send some other folks your way for the laugh. I do indeed know what that plant variety is called... it is....(wait for it)... "tired dog" An extremely invasive plant that creates it's own fertilizer and occassionally has been known to be scented with "aroma of dog fart". Many gardeners make the mistake of bringing these into their garden based on the gentle brown eyed centers of the flower but I would advise you to think twice about this. :D LMBO! Watch out too, don't go to the place where they propagate those or you will end up bringing home another! Oh my I have one of them also and its name is Troubleis. Invasive for sure. Got to love them though. Can I please have a cutting of that? Thats my favorite invasive variety! Puppalily! (Thanks Wilderness!) Thanks to all for your attempts at identification! I'm sure Langela appreciates them, as do I. Cathy, I'll ask her if we can possibly have some cuttings, but be forewarned by what Kitsap said, it makes its own fertilizer, and the aroma is not so great! The nursery said they only propagate by seed. There is actually a male and female of this variety and both are needed. I only got the male because of the cost. This one cost me $100! As for the smell. It really depends on the manure or dead animal you roll it in. I find I prefer the unscented version and try to keep it washed clean of any manure or dead animals. One of the most fascinating things about it is its eating habits. Can you believe it is carnivorous? It also eats grass. If it could just be bred to eat weeds I'd be in business. Thanks for everyone's help and comments on my beautiful and unique plant! Well, Langela, I'm glad I could help, and I can definitely tell you that you got a healthy and beautiful Puppalily aka Stealinghearts flower there! It's one I'm sure many of us would like to have invading our gardens! What is the unique plant that Langela found in the nursery?</s> <|assistant|> The unique plant that Langela found in the nursery is called Dognip, also referred to as the dognip variety Genus Golden Labradoris.</s>

On Monday the library at Fairport Village Landing closed for its move to 30 Perinton Hills Mall. The library hopes to reopen there on Jan. 2. "We will have most of our collection there and a few computers for Intenet access," said assistant library director Tori Reilly. "The staff will be available for reference questions and help." In May voters approved a $4.4 million renovation project for the library that includes new entrances, better lighting and new carpeting, and changes that will allow roomier space for programs. The renovations are expected to take eight to 10 months to complete, Reilly said. Library staff is working on how best to handle programs such as children story hours and book discussions while in the temporary space, she said. Once in the new location, the library hours will return to normal. Library staff is asking that users return books to other branches and call other branches with questions during the period when the library is moving to the new site. The Fairport library staff will have limited access to branch telephones during that time. For more information, visit fairportlibrary.org.

<|system|> You are a friendly chatbot who always answer users question by looking into the provided context.</s> <|user|> Lawyers representing the sister of a Syrian man alleged to have been tortured to death in a detention centre in Damascus in 2013 have launched a criminal complaint against members of the Syrian security forces in Spain’s national court. Nine members of the Syrian government’s security and intelligence forces were accused of crimes of state terrorism in the 95-page complaint that was filed on Wednesday in Madrid. The case is the first in a Western court brought against members of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s government, with the nine accused understood to include senior officials. The full names of the nine officials and the name of the victim and his sister have not been made public. The sister, who is only identified in the complaint as Mrs AH, claims she is a victim of Syrian state terrorism because her brother was arbitrarily detained, forcibly disappeared, tortured and executed in 2013. Under Spanish law, Spanish prosecutors can investigate the complaint because Mrs AH is a Spanish national, a precedent that has previously been used to investigate crimes committed by state actors in Latin America during the Cold War. Her lawyers, Guernica 37, said in a statement: “The evidence submitted clearly demonstrates that the Syrian State led by President Bashar al-Assad committed the Crime of Terrorism against its civil population using its security forces and intelligence apparatus.” It added: “Thousands of detainees have been executed or have died as a result of torture, mass starvation and illness.” The case was brought to light after a defector known by the codename Caesar, who had worked as a forensic officer, escaped from Syria in September 2013 with more than 50,000 photos documenting the deaths of more than 6,000 people. Mrs AH and her family were able to identify her brother based on images of victims posted on online by the Syrian Association for Missing and Conscience Detainees. Almudena Bernabeu, the lawyer representing Mrs AH, said: “This complaint materialises the efforts of extraordinary professionals from Syria and other parts of the world, who have tirelessly fought for justice during the last five years. “The Caesar photographs demonstrate the degree of perversion of a state when it decides to attack its people through its institutions. Our desire is that this first step would allow for criminal justice efforts in other jurisdictions, and consequently, bring hope to the thousands of Syrian civilians that continue suffering the consequences of this barbarity.” The Syrian government has faced international condemnation over its conduct during the country’s more than five-year civil war, in which it is accused of killing the great majority of the hundreds of thousands of people who have died. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented the deaths of 14,638 detainees, including 111 children from the start of the uprising until December 2016. This did not include more than 5,500 people who had gone missing or been abducted by state forces. Some 1,500 people were disappeared by the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) and rebel factions in Syria. Overall civilian deaths until December 13 documented by SOHR were 90,506, including 15,948 children and 10,540 women. More than 102,000 government troops and militia members have died and more than 53,000 rebel fighters have been killed, according to the Observatory. In addition, more than 54,000 foreign anti-government and ISIS fighters have been killed in Syria. In October then-UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon said that Assad’s government was responsible for 300,000 deaths. Efforts to prosecute Syrian leaders have been obstructed by the presence and vetoing powers of Russia, Assad’s main ally, on the UN Security Council, which normally refers potential war crimes and crimes against humanity cases to the International Criminal Court for investigation.

<|system|> You are a friendly chatbot who always answer users question by looking into the provided context.</s> <|user|> Last month saw the first anniversary of Ananda Meditation Group, Isle of Man. It was an event that I knew in my heart would come to pass; however the odds against the group’s very survival have been great. Paramahansa Yogananda taught that nothing is sent to us that we cannot handle, and it is something I often bring to mind in times of seeming adversity. Firstly we had to find a suitable venue for the group, which was growing rapidly and wasn’t as straight forward as we thought. That was because I was trying to arrange it myself, rather than waiting for Divine Mother’s intervention. But then, relaxing into the flow once again, the way opened and we were kindly offered the use off the hospital chapel where I work. Inevitably perhaps, the initial enthusiasm of some of the members began to wane and some we lost altogether. People come and people go, but all will have been touched by Guru’s vibration and received what they were capable of receiving, according to their karma and level of spiritual development. It has been a wonderful lesson in practicing non attachment to the fruit of our labours. It could have been all too easy to take rejection as a personal affront. As the group began to establish itself some members could not deal with the meetings gearing more toward devotion to our line of gurus. That was fine and their decision to make, but I wasn’t prepared to compromise on the true purpose of an Ananda Meditation Group just to put more ’bottoms on seats’. Contrastingly, I witnessed 2 sincere members undergo great emotional healing of long standing problems, both on a profound level and after only a few weeks of meditation. So our numbers are few, and not surprising on a small island. We do have, what I call, ‘satellite’ members who either live too far away, or cannot get to our meetings for various reasons, who like to stay connected by receiving the Group News letter each week. I am always available for advice to these members who strive to build an effective meditation practice on their own. The main Ananda website offers great support for those who want to deepen their practice, whether struggling alone or in a group, and now even offers ‘virtual’ webinars. Divine Mother continued to play Her hand as circumstances then led to my being taken away from the Island and not being able to lead the group some weeks. I was away on the UK mainland frequently (and still am) to attend to the needs of my sister who is very sick, but my conscience against letting the group and gurus down was appeased knowing the group was in the safe hands of a sincere devotee, or so I thought until she badly broke her leg shortly after I had received the news of my sister’s illness. Rendered immobile for a good while, we moved the meditation venue to her home so she could still attend. Not to be deterred, we strove to maintain a steady stream of energy flowing through the group, even if it meant only one person keeping the flow moving by meditating alone some weeks. We have the faith that God is taking care of everything and that, like all new ventures on The Path, we are all being tested. The group itself is being tested. And so it was such a joy to be able to see the group’s first anniversary; hanging in there against all odds. And what better way to celebrate than with our first Discipleship Ceremony. Son-in law, Ben and dear friend, Liz both took their vow in view of progressing to Kriya initiation next year at an Ananda centre. The energy of our guru’s was tangible throughout the ceremony. As we chanted ‘Jai Guru’, the very ether was supercharged with cosmic energy. I knew that God was smiling upon us this day, as He has been throughout all the karmic trials we, individually and as a group, are working our way through. He has never left our hearts and is ever more strongly present as we emerge from our trials out the other side, unscathed, strengthened and ever more determined to put our guru’s teachings into practice. Jai Guru! AUM t. maitreyi Dear Maitreyi, I read most of your posts and am always uplifted. I am an old time member of Ananda and live in Las Vegas, where Nayaswami Vijay and I a starting an Ashram house, and I understand the Joy and the wonder of it all!!

Congratulations, and many more anniversaries for your group. Many blessings, Nancy Thanks for the inspiration, Maitreyi, and the timely reminder that all trials are there only to help us grow and be stronger. Happy Anniversary, congrats to all, Jai Guru! In joy, Dambara Dear Maitreyi, Thanks for sharing this inspiring story. A lesson,indeed for all fledgling Ananda groups! Kamini They say that some tapasya (austerity) is necessary to start any spiritual work. Congratulations on keeping the flame burning bright on the Isle of Man. I wish you and your group great blessings. Dear Maitreyi, I enjoy reading your posts. Congratulations to you and the new disciples. Thank you for sharing your learning, it is very inspiring. INSPIRATION for us cribbers complaining of no ananda group!! your faith is heart lifting!! Thank you Maitreyi. Your dedication and devotion is palpable. The ripples of your efforts through Master go well beyond the Isle of Man. What challenges did the Ananda Meditation Group face in its first year?</s> <|assistant|> The Ananda Meditation Group faced several challenges in its first year. Initially, they struggled to find a suitable venue for the rapidly growing group. They also experienced a decrease in enthusiasm among some members, leading to a drop in attendance. Some members were uncomfortable with the meetings focusing more on devotion to their line of gurus. The group leader was frequently away due to personal reasons, and the person left in charge broke her leg, causing further disruption. Despite these challenges, they managed to maintain a steady stream of energy and celebrated their first anniversary with a Discipleship Ceremony.</s>

Melbourne is a cultured and cosmopolitan city, with excellent museums and galleries and world class theatre. There’s a thriving street café scene, superb restaurants and great shopping. Along the Yarra River, the lively Southbank arts and entertainment area makes an ideal place to dine in the evening. You’ll find plenty to do during the day as well, explore the Botanical Gardens, chill out in Federation Square or visit Captain Cooks Cottage, rebuilt in nearby Fitzroy Gardens. Be sure to visit colourful Queen Victoria Market, and for soap fans, there’s even a ‘Neighbours’ tour. One tram ride you must take is the 15 minute journey to St Kilda, Melbourne’s beach suburb. Here you can enjoy a dip in Port Phillip Bay, a ride at Luna Fun Park or your choice of coffee along Fitzroy Street, known locally as the ‘cappuccino strip’. Melbourne’s impressive stadiums also host many of the country’s major sporting events, including the Grand Prix and Australian Open tennis. Accommodation can be limited at these times, so it’s important to book early. Away from the city, Victoria is the perfect touring destination, with spectacular mountain and coastal scenery, fertile plains and well kept National Parks. Look out for relics of the great Gold Rush that doubled the population of the state in the late 1800's. The town of Ballarat has an excellent living museum where you can still pan for gold. The Yarra Valley vineyards produce some of Australia’s best wine, whilst further south are the fine sandy beaches of the Mornington Peninsula. Nearby Phillip Island is home to thousands of native fur seals, koalas and the enchanting Fairy Penguins that march up the beach each night to nest in the sand dunes. > What are some of the hotels available for booking in Melbourne and their respective prices for a night's stay?</s> <|assistant|> Some of the hotels available for booking in Melbourne include Batman's Hill for £53 a night, The Jasper for £56 a night, Vibe Savoy for £60 a night, Rendezvous Hotel for £67 a night, Crown Hotels for £80 a night, Grand Hyatt for £109 a night, and Novotel in St Kilda for £65 a night.</s>

Pope Benedict’s three-day of Constantinople, the former name for present-day Istanbul. Both prelates are noted throughout the world as peacemakers and for their extraordinary efforts to create bridges of truth and love across religious, ethnic, environmental and political divides. “We are awaiting the Pope’s visit with fraternal love and great anticipation,” said Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, “it will be very important for our Country and Orthodox-Catholic Relations.” Pope Benedict XVI will arrive in Istanbul, on Wednesday afternoon, November 29, to be received by His All Holiness and will participate in a Doxology of Peace at the Patriarchal Cathedral of St. George. The prayer service will include a mutual veneration of the Holy Relics of Saint Gregory the Theologian and Saint John Chrysostom, the Predecessors of the Ecumenical Patriarch, and will be followed by a private meeting between the two Church leaders. On Thursday morning, November 30, Benedict XVI will participate in the Divine Liturgy at St. George Cathedral where both prelates will deliver official addresses, exchange the Kiss of Peace and jointly bless the faithful present. After the Divine Liturgy, a common declaration of ecumenical solidarity will be read and signed. Following the signing, Pope Benedict will join the Ecumenical Patriarch for lunch at the Patriarchate. After receiving the Ecumenical Patriarch at the Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit and celebrating the Papal Holy Mass, Pope Benedict will depart for Vatican City on Friday, December 1.. For his inspiring efforts on behalf of religious freedom and human rights, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew was heralded as a Bridge Builder and Peacemaker and awarded the Congressional Gold Medal by the U.S. Congress in 1997.

This year marks the third round of the Toronto Alternative Art Fair International, or TAAFI for those of us that have a sweet tooth. Running in direct opposition to the larger, and more established Toronto International Art Fair, TAAFI promises to have more bite to it, not to mention a lot more drag performance and queer content. If one were to generalize, it could be said that The TIAF is Yorkville, while TAAFI is Queen West to the core. Securing TAAFI’s westerly presence, the three day fair is being held at The Gladstone and Drake Hotels, with The Beaver and The Social acting as an additional party and performance spaces. This year’s organizational collective is a queer triumvirate of Parkdale mainstays, Andrew Harwood (original co-organizer, and den mother to us all, really), John McLachlin (past fair participant and gadabout) and Will Munro (DJ, artist, promoter, workaholic, whatever) Given this homo powerhouse it’s no surprise the fair is pretty queer heavy. Together the collective have scheduled 25 exhibitors, 20 invitational artists, an opening night gala, a drag show, a pile of performances, and a few lectures in one jam-packed weekend. If you are already feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of art TAAFI promises, you’ll want to study the fair schedule/catalogue that comes with the price of admission. Although there are numerous queer highlights to the fair, one event not to be missed is Drag Strip, which includes performances by Los Angeles-based Vaginal Crème Davis, as well as locals Keith Cole and Donnarama. A fierce line-up by any standards. Their credentials alone could fill a book. Donnarama, voted Best Drag Queen by Now magazine, Queen of Grapefruit, Miss 501 and Smirnoff Twisted Superstar, brings her part-impersonation, part comedy routine to the strip. The ever-offensive Keith Cole, Canada’s Worst Handyman and member of the Hardworkin’ Homosexuals, will help the night get a little sloppy. Be prepared for full exposure. But the real jewel of the evening’s tiara is sure to be Vaginal Davis and her “terrorist” drag. With roots in the punk music and art scenes, Vaginal is known for her contrarian and anti-assimilationist performance work. This “petite” lady keeps good company, touring with the likes of Margaret Cho and Le Tigre, and organizes the legendary L.A. art-sleaze thing, Platinum Oasis, with Ron Athey. Hats off to Vaginal for keeping drag dangerous. If you could use a bit of saving, perhaps Lesbians To The Rescue, or LTTR, can lend a hand at their room in the Drake Hotel. New York’s LTTR describes themselves as a “feminist genderqueer artist collective with a flexible project oriented practice.” Although they are likely best known for their zine, the collective have previously organized a month long series of art events and performances. Seeing as part of their mandate is to “[shift] shape and design” in order to fully address evolving ideologies, the collective isn’t tied solely to one form of existence. Through their various incarnations the group thrive on dialogue, collaboration and community in order to share ideas. Gay owned/operated galleries and Berkeley Street neighbors, Craig Scott and O’Connor pack up their wares to become neighbors at the Gladstone Hotel. O’Connor Gallery, now in operation for more than a decade, reaches out its tendrils in a rare jaunt over to Queen West to showcase their collection of finely crafted queer art. Ed Pien sets up shop as a Gladstone invitational artist. At no point in time is there not an Ed Pien exhibition on somewhere from New York, to Berlin, to Windsor. This Toronto-based artist and educator at both university of Toronto and Ontario College of Art And Design displays maniacally detailed paper cut-outs at TAAFI. Although you’ll like be more familiar with Pien’s inky mutated figures, and hidden worlds on huge sheets of crinkley paper, his cut outs are no less stunning. If sitting back and taking things in more to your liking than wandering from room to room fighting crowds, there is always the Saturday panel discussion pondering the question “Is Queen Street Dead?” or the all-day Inside Out Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival screening in the Drake’s Yoga Den. Though asking if Queen Street is dead seems more rhetorical than anything, given how much the area is evolving, it’s a question on many people’s minds. Though the street itself certainly isn’t dead, (we can still see it, right?) perhaps a particular version of it is. Hear what New York-based urban critic Roberta Brandes Gratz, and 401 Richmond Building president, Margie Zeidler and company have to say about it.

It is a long journey through a country that is sometimes dark and terrible. However, I will use all the magic arts I know to keep you from harm.” She came close to Dorothy and kissed her gently on the forehead. “When you get to Oz, do not be afraid of him, but tell your story, and ask him to help you. Goodbye, my dear.” That’s the Wizard of Oz passage we hear Liz reading aloud to her unborn child in the final scene of Thursday night’s episode. Indeed, she has certainly been walking a lengthy, sometimes often dark and terrible journey since we met her in season 1. There is no question that Liz is Dorothy in this little metaphor — that’s probably why it’s her favorite “fairy tale”… But when I listened to Liz read that (slightly abridged) passage, I naturally put Red into the Oz role, what, with the omnipotence and the general criminality of Oz’s whole “Wizard” shtick. But when I listened again, I realized he could just as easily be the Good Witch of the North to Lizzie’s Dorothy, using all of his powers to keep her from harm. Red himself claims to be a fairy godmother in this folklore-centric episode, and we certainly know he’s a gentle forehead kisser. It remains to be seen just what role Red plays in Liz’s story — her salvation or her destruction — but you guys, I feel like tonight’s episode subtly cemented one monumental thing that he is not: Liz’s father. Crucify me in the comments if you must (no, don’t!), but much more than the time he flat out told Lizzie he wasn’t her father, his somewhat more detailed account of the way her mother and father left her life tonight felt much more convincing. I was holding onto a few theories, mostly involving wordplay, that he could still be her father, but I do believe “I’m not sure I shouldn’t have raised you myself… I don’t want you looking back with that kind of regret” is what’s brought me over to believing that Liz truly did shoot her real father the night of the fire; that Red is something else entirely. And it’s funny to have something that felt so revelatory in what was otherwise a pretty understated installment (understated for The Blacklist, that is — there were still two car explosions, one upper-thigh bullet removed with tweezers, and one suicide by butterfly). I was actually kind of dreading tonight’s episode after watching the preview last week. We’ve seen creepy cults from Blacklist. In abundance, we have seen creepy cults, so I wasn’t particularly looking forward to a creepy cult of kidnapped children. But ultimately, this episode had a few more laughs than normal. We didn’t spend too much time with the City of Lost Kids, and what time we did spend was semi-sparing with the sickly stuff. Except, of course, for… LADY AMBROSIA, NO. 77 …that first scene where a woman found bloody footprints in a grocery store that led to a young boy ferociously getting down on a bag of marshmallows in the candy aisle. Reddington brings the case of the recovered missing child to Liz and tells her that he believes the myth of Lady Ambrosia to be real: a woman in the woods, “neither purely evil nor purely good” (a big theme this episode) who collects unwanted children and promises them eternal youth. The Post Office team quickly traces the markings on the boy, Ethan, to those of three other recovered children with special needs, all previously assumed not missing, but dead. NEXT: Like the Lost Boys from Hook, but way less fun… Who does the character Liz read about to her unborn child in the episode?</s> <|assistant|> Liz reads about Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz to her unborn child in the episode.</s>

<|system|> You are a friendly chatbot who always answer users question by looking into the provided context.</s> <|user|> There were concerns raised during the development of the legislation here over tourism and the impacts on the Asian market. In reality, post legislation, there has been no impact. A simple testing question was put to the media, politicians and the public at the time -- do smoking tourists come here to smoke or to enjoy our beautiful country? Having spent the best part of 11 hours flying time from Japan to New Zealand, a smoker has clearly decided that is for the country, not the cigarettes! Why would going to Hawaii be any different? I hope the policy makers in Hawaii have the integrity to recognize that the current maltreatment of those who enjoy the smell of smoke not only harms the economy but is simply not humane. Humane regulation of tobacco use means both those who do and do not enjoy the smell of smoke must be respected. Aloha will not be restored as a credible description of our island culture until all people are treated with the same respect. The former smoking law provided mutual respect for all concerned: business owners, customers and employees. So who needs a special session of the Legislature? What we need is a proper environmental assessment, and in fact an environmental impact statement. A much smaller craft that would, like in Tahiti, go up and down the island chain with people and their suitcases and coolers, stopping for an hour at each island. That would be great! The impression that I get from reading the articles about all the protesters and the lawsuits that have been filed is that those "elite" residents of Kauai don't seem to want their precious paradise to be invaded by the "great unwashed masses" from Oahu and the "mainlanders" who have suffered greatly by being forced to sit for many hours in an overcrowded airplane just to be able to spend their money in Hawaii. It was a very fortunate circumstance for Noah when his ark came to rest on Mount Ararat in Turkey, rather than the pristine shores of Kauai. To all you snobs of Kauai: "Come visit Orlando ... Walt Disney World will gladly welcome your money." If I had to guess, I'm certain Lindberg would admit that he would rather have the Thunderbirds doing aerobatic shows, too. And even if something is intended to do harm, there's no reason why it can't be directed into a more productive channel. Computers and computer science, after all, were developed by the military to facilitate their operations (the goal of said operations to sometimes "kill and destroy"). Yet nobody clamors that computers shouldn't be used because they were intended for the purpose of facilitating death. So the next time the jets fly out to perform, I hope that Lindberg simply relaxes and enjoys the show.

Of course, he went on to say that the paper is not antigay, but simply "for marriage remaining the important man-woman institution it has always been." Seems like the paper shares the opinion of President Obama, who cut an "It Gets Better" ad to speak out against gay bullying, but still opposes gay marriage. Do you think such a position is possible? Can you support gay Americans while opposing gay marriage? Source: Thinkstock Politics Trolls like to confuse people. ^ Haha, I'm just confused as to what *gays* is supposed to mean... "Asterik gays don't support the fight for equality! " Best. Sentence. Ever. LOL "sacred", who knows what else I misspelled and i'm too tired to check. sacred, who knows what else I misspelled I am a Christian woman who fully believes marriage is a sacrade commitment that should only be between a man and a woman. Having said that I do not condem, criticize, or judge the gay/lesbian community, I don't believe I have a right to do so at all. In fact I don't even support "Christian" groups who tell them they are going to hell for their actions or tell them God doesn't love them because of who they are. I hate this belief and I really wish these people would stop creating such a nasty picture of the God I know and love. It is not Our job to condem, it is our job to spread the love, the word and the work of God. Anything beyond that is His right, His job. I have known many gay/Lesbians in my life and they have always been kind and respectful towards me and I towards them. I hate the nastiness they face and the bullying that has been claiming so many young lives. So make what you will with that Informtion. But know that if you are gay/lesbian...No, I refuse to believe God hates you, I firmly stand by my belief of marriage, but I DO NOT BELIEVE GOD HATES YOU!! Haha... *gays*... wtf? Attention! Asterik gays don't support the fight for equality! @Mediabiz - "BTW, many *gays* do NOT support gay marriage." Troll alert. I'm sorry, but how many "gays" do you know that don't want equal civil rights? Your comment strikes me as ignorant (plus you didn't finish it), but if you were going to argue semantics, I think we're all aware that we're talking about the civil institution of marriage here - not the religious one. Yes. BTW, many *gays* do NOT support gay marriage. Kudos to the Joseph wasn't thinking to brightly though, it was pretty obvious this would make the news and cause gay rights groups to fight against him. I'm sure no one or very, very few people would have unsubscribed because of a gay marriage announcement. Many people probably wouldn't have even given it thought. Now if I lived there, I would have unsubscribed because of this. Not many people have the courage to say how they really feel. The president wants to please both sides to keep his approval rating up. Newspapers don't want to lose subscribers as already mentioned. It's a game and people are being played. This is absurd. I agree with the majority here. I agree with Pistil 100%. You can support gays but oppose gay marriage in a destined to fail, separate but equal, way. Does this mean the paper supports and approves everything else it publishes? Perhaps they don't want to offend their readers and lose subscriptions. No. No further explanation needed. Pistil, that's what I thought, too...Why is a newspaper even having an opinion? Shouldn't they deliver facts? Fact is, someone got married. Whether they like it or not, that couple is gay. I don't think that position is possible though, like postmodern said, how can you support gays and then say you don't want them to have the same rights as everybody else? Doesn't make much sense. Newspapers censoring the news in order to validate the owners' opinions? Sounds just fine to me! No, I don't think you can be fully supportive of gay Americans when you're opposed to gay marriage. Anti-marriage views for gays is rooted in nothing but bigotry, no matter which way you try to justify it. That's like saying you're all for supporting African Americans, but you still back segregation laws. Doesn't work that way. I think the position is possible, but should newspapers have opinions? Shouldn't any credible news source be as unbiased as possible? Do they refuse to print news articles on topics they disagree with? I've never heard of anything like that over here.

Although not a translation of the word, “Shamo” can be understood to mean “Game bird from Japan”. Therefore Ko Shamo means miniature game, not miniature version of the large fowl. Nankin Shamo means Game bird from Nankin. [The Japanese characters for “Shamo” can also be translated as “Gunkei”, hence the strange name of the Yamato game bird.] The word SHAMO on its own refers to the large fowl, but that can be further divided into O Shamo (large size) and Chu Shamo (medium size). Both of these are the same breed, which comes in a variety of weights – all above 3kg (nearly 7lbs) being correct. An extract from an article written in 1990 by Julia Keeling: With any breed of animal or bird which was originally bred for a specific purpose but later developed for exhibition, certain attributes unimportant to their performance take on special significance. Exhibitors must be wary, when trying to achieve these points, that they are not exaggerated so much in importance that the true working type is lost (as in Scottish Terriers or English Bulldogs for example). An Asian Game exhibitor must aim for certain eye, leg, and feather colour, angle of back and wing, stance etc, which have little bearing on working ability, but which define it as that particular breed. Birds still bred for their original purpose and legitimately fought in Asia, South America and other parts of the world do not, of course have to adhere to this rigid standard of excellence, their excellence is tested in quite another way, and consequently they are not homogeneous in type or colour. However, for a breed to be shown and judged, a standard must be written for the guidance of breeders and judges alike. Ideally a showbird should be correct in all the show points, but still possess all its original characteristics - temperament does affect carriage, and is certainly involved in 'type’. SHAMO STANDARD (current in Britain. This illustration above from the book KAEMPFER UND ZWERGKAEMPFER DER WELT) caused quite a stir amoung gamefowl enthusiasts and its blood began many excellent Shamo lines in Germany. Black/red is the most common colour seen. (The ‘red’ may be any shade from yellow to dark red, with wheaten or partridge females which can be any shade from cream to dark brown, with or without dark markings). My 13 year-old son above with a wheaten Shamo hen. This bird has kept the elegant, slender form of her first year and has given young that, so far, have this more slender form.

The lower the thermal conductivity, the better the building material will insulate. A brief example will illustrate the enormous differences: Reinforced concrete: thermal conductivity 2.30 W/(mK) Construction timber: thermal conductivity 0.13 W/(m/K) Cellulose insulation: thermal conductivity 0.039 W/(m/K) Thermal bridges are areas where for example more heat is lost through a switch in materials than in neighbouring structural elements. Thanks to the low thermal conductivity of wood the thermal bridge effect of wooden structural elements is very slight. Any thermal bridges that arise can be minimised with the help of simple constructional measures. With customary wall and roof construction, supporting elements (wood parts) that are used regularly alternate with highly effective insulation materials. The factor that determines the influence of thermal bridges for wooden constructions is thus the proportion of construction timber in the structural elements. Wood frame constructions have very good insulation properties since the supporting structure and the insulation material are in the same plane and almost all the cross-section of the wall can be used for thermal protection. Additional layers of insulation material e.g. on the outside or an insulated installation section on the inside enable insulation levels to be attained that are required in a passive house (heating requirement of < 0.15 kW/m²). An overall structural element thickness of 30 cm is already sufficient to attain this passive house standard. Peter MÜLLER. Your specialist for customized wooden constructions.

I decided I wanted to share something special. Whe I was buying the supplies at the party store for Curtis's Thanksgiving in September I spied a turkey hat. I asked Curt if he'd wear it. Curt LOVES props and hats and being a bit silly so he of course gave a resounding "YES"!!! I went back to the store a procured one for him. Here he is rocking the turkey hat with his wonderful smile!! I wanted to share a photo of Curt from Monday. He is house-bound these days and his only view is out the window by his bed of the house next door. Hospice got a wheelchair for him and two friends helped get it outside so he could spend a bit of time in the fresh air. This picture just makes me smile seeing how happy he is. bit of time in the fresh air. This picture just makes me smile seeing how happy he is. I also wanted to share a picture of me in the fabulous SassyVamp Desiree gifted me. I wore it during the Thanksgiving celebration and it was quite the hit. Although I don't believe I rocked it as well as Pastor Rodney did!! It brought out the blue in his eyes!! Although I don't believe I rocked it as well as Pastor Rodney did!! It brought out the blue in his eyes!! I've started meeting with my dear daughter/friend Andrea on Monday's after work for craft time and chat.

Being confined to one spot must be so hard. What ideas are you and Andrea scaring your menfolk with then? Are you fashioning them some sequinned pants or their own floral headpieces? Time off? That's always good! xxxxx Curt is such an inspiration. He's got a smile to melt your heart, loves dressing up and is certainly making the most of everything. His hat rocks. Sounds like a fab plan, having a regular craft date, Liz and I get so much done at ours. Enjoy your enforced day off! xxx Thank you for sharing this photos of Curtis.

<|system|> You are a friendly chatbot who always answer users question by looking into the provided context.</s> <|user|> The Drop-Off System is not suitable for use on motorways or trunk roads – please see section entitled “Motorways and Trunk Roads” for EKAM recommendations. The Drop-Off System is popular with large groups going on long rides. Understanding the system is important, as every rider needs to do their part to avoid anyone getting lost. One rider, the leader, will stay at the front and is responsible for navigating the route. Another rider, the sweeper, will stay at the back in last position. These are the only two riders who maintain their position in the group. At every junction, the rider immediately behind the leader stops as close to where the leader indicates (ensuring it is safe to do so) and marks the junction and indicates the route which the other members of the group should follow. All other riders pass the marker except the sweeper. The marker then re-joins the group in front of the sweeper. This approach involves the entire. Some points: - Always arrive for a group rideout with a full tank of petrol and an empty bladder. - Petrol stops will be determined on the lowest tank range of participants. You are advised to fill up at these stops. - The leader and sweeper will wear some kind of distinctive vest. - If you are in the number 2 slot, don’t get too close to the leader, they may only slow for a junction whereas you will have to stop. - A roundabout should be marked by parking in a safe visible position on the exit. - When going straight through at a crossroads where you don't have right of way you may mark it if you wish. The default action in such a case is to continue straight through. Therefore if there is no marker when you arrive you should proceed straight on. If you do decide to mark such a junction you should do so by parking in a safe visible position on the far side of the crossroads. - When you are marking a junction make sure you park in a position not to obstruct any other road users. - If necessary point in the direction that riders arriving at the junction should proceed in. - Give clear directions with arm signals NOT indicators. - There is no need, when using the drop off system, to keep the rider behind in your mirrors. - There is no need to play catch-up. With the drop off system there will be a marker waiting for you at the next junction. - Everyone should keep a safe distance behind the rider in front when following; “tail-gating” is frowned on. - Members of the group may overtake or be overtaken during the ride (except the leader and the sweeper), depending on the pace that each rider has chosen at a particular time, so be aware and execute any overtakes in a safe and sensible manner: - Only overtake where it is legal and safe to do so - Use good indicators and mirrors and allow plenty of room - Be considerate to other members of the group and all other road users - To avoid unscheduled stops and to be safe please make sure all luggage carried on your machine is secured safely before starting. - When you are the marker, wait for the sweeper to arrive, even if this takes a long time. There may be a breakdown further back of which you are unaware. If necessary switch off your engine. If you leave your position everyone behind will suffer and the run will fall apart. - If you are unsure as to whether you should mark a junction, mark it anyway. It is better to mark a junction that doesn't need marking than not to mark one that does. - If someone has gone the wrong way, stop the sweeper and let them know. - Ride your own ride, don't allow yourself to be pulled or pushed along. - Enjoy yourself at your own pace. What is the role of the leader and the sweeper in the Drop-Off System for group rides?</s> <|assistant|> In the Drop-Off System for group rides, the leader stays at the front and is responsible for navigating the route, while the sweeper stays at the back in the last position.

Mirror List, Bit Torrent links. I may decide to resurrect Al-Rassan (currently loaded with FC 2) so that at least I can keep up to speed with Fedora. Not sure that I want to, but there you have it. What the hell am I thinking? 3 September 2004 5:01 PM Uh oh - I think I have one of these adapters for Al-Rassan. IBM Recalls 553,000 Laptop Power Units Worldwide 28 May 2004 5:53 PM My computer kung-fu continues to suck. Al-Rassan now doesn’t want to boot and her battery is competely dead. I assume that the screen still doesn’t work, either. I haven’t done anything since the last time other than turn her off and charge her battery. Then the battery drained over the course of a few hours. Argh! Looks like I’ll have to install Linux on my work laptop after all. Now I just need a name… 26 May 2004 6:07 PM My computer kung-fu has failed me. I brought home another Thinkpad power supply from work to test on Al-Rassan, and sure enough it worked fine. Only problem was that when I turned her on, the screen didn’t light up. I thought it was completely busted, but then I peered closely and saw that the images were still on the screen, just without any light. In case you’re wondering, this makes it very hard to see what the hell you’re doing. The worst part about it is that the screen worked before I opened up the case. It survived the multiple falls without a problem, but not my meddling. I did this, and that makes me kick myself. Hard.:10 AM Trundling right along with getting Fedora Core 2 working on Al-Rassan, my IBM Thinkpad i1400. I switched over to KDE and had problems with the keys ‘sticking’ - turned out the default key delay was set to zero, so a quick visit to the control center fixed that. Another issue is that I couldn’t find the desktop switcher tool to set KDE as the default session. Fixed that by going to /etc/sysconfig/desktop DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" That seems to have done the trick. I’ve been installing some of the multimedia packages described in Greg Gulick’s Fedora Core 2 Tips and Tricks. Setting up multiple repositories for up2date was easier than I thought, and reenabling mp3 support was quite easy. APM support appears to be disabled in the 2.6 kernel. What’s up with that? 19 May 2004 10:21 PM A few changes to things around the old network: 1. Added to arbonne:/etc/rc.d/rc.local to get the netgear MA311 PCI card to work on bootup: /sbin/modprobe orinoco_pci 2. Got BitTorrent working to download Fedora Core 2 following these instructions: - Download bittorrent: local rpms for rhl 7.3, 8.0, 9 and fc1 from the homesite - install bittorrent - Open up ports 6881-6999/tcp so other clients can contact you for bits First forward those ports on the router Then open up the ports in your /etc/sysconfig/iptables file - To download run: btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 350 --url $torrent-URL-here - Once your download is complete please leave your downloader running so it can help upload to the other clients. This is what makes bittorrent efficient. 3. Having completed the download in record time (no comparison to HTTP or FTP, they both stalled out last night - BitTorrent took less than three hours) and having left the upload running all day, I shall now attempt to upgrade al-rassan to Fedora Core 2.? 28 February 2004 10:12 AM For Al-Rassan: tpctl homepage.. 30 September 2003 10:47 PM Finally got WebCollage working - from Bug 76244 - XScreensaver WebCollage doesn’t work, I went: [brett@al-rassan ~]$ su [root@al-rassan brett]# mv /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/webcollage-helper /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/X-webcollage-helper And there you have it. I have to admit, the vidwhacked version really does look cool.. 3 September 2003 10:54 AM I spent part of last evening (the part where I wasn’t watching Queer Eye, of course) updating Al-Rassan with the Red Hat Network and getting familiar with GNU/Linux. I am enchanted with it - Merrystar asked me what specifically I liked about it, and I could not answer her. (The best I could come up with was “I like the filesystem,” which is pretty lame, even if it’s true. I like having the same drives mean the same things on different systems (Al-Rassan and Scandium, in this case). I like the Bluecurve interface, though I’m sure it draws flack from UNIX diehards. I like that the battery monitor works better than the Windows one - and that the battery seems to last longer, but that’s not been rigorously tested yet. But all these things aren’t quite it - which is why I’m enchanted. I’ll think about this some more today and see if I can explain it any better. 28 August 2003 1:13 PM Further adventures in Linux: couldn’t get Al-Rassan’s Winmodem working last night. The wireless card works perfectly, though. Will have to start documenting the actual steps of what I’m doing with this thing - otherwise, I’m just spinning my wheels. Spinning, spinning, on the launchpad. Boy, do I feel itch today.. This is: brett's logjam → al-rassan log. A RSS feed is available for this category.

Our dear friend, Ole, greeted us and then we drove for an hour and a half to where he lives and works, Gjøvik. We dined at a Chinese restaurant that evening; yes, we'd travelled to the other side of the World and ate Chinese food and drank Italian wine!! However, the company was wonderful, as was the food and wine. We excitedly jumped out of bed to see our first Norwegian morning. The above shot is the view of Lake Mjøsa from Ole's apartment. I foolishly stepped outside in my dressing-gown to take some photos and quickly got back inside; the temperature inside was just as we'd left Australia, around about an easy to live with 20C. Michael toured the Mustad hook factory that morning and later on I joined him for lunch in the canteen. We were then taken by Gai up the hill to an authentic 1700 Norwegian village. The buildings were moved to the site and the village is open to the public on the weekends. Unfortunately, we were there on a Friday but it didn't diminish the experience; we could still look in the windows of the buildings and see them set up as they were three hundred years ago. Entrance to the Village Looking down on the town of Gjøvik and Lågen Mjøsa Upper Gjøvik 1700 We walked a little further on and, as we approached a little bridge over a little pond completely iced over, we spied a little Mink sitting very still, hoping we'd just move on. We took a few shots and then it scurried over the ice to the cover of bushes. It's marvellous to know that they haven't yet been farmed to extinction! Fur is huge in Italy at present; every fashion shop has it and it's not fake! The next day we travelled four hours south to the town of Skien to stay the night at Barry and Agnes's home. I felt very much at home in Norway; the countryside on the way down to Skien was very similar to the hills and open spaces back home, except the houses and trees were different. Practically every home is made of wood and is painted either white, red or black and not a eucalpyt to be seen, mainly pines. It's a very pretty country. View over Skien from Barry and Agnes's dining room Prior to our visit, we'd received an email from Barry with an amazing 3-Course Menu attached, promising wild game harvested by the family from the forest in Norway. But that's another story. 11 comments: alaine! more, more, more!!!!! my most favourite picture of this set is the pond with the silver birches reflected in it. norway looks and feels just like the part of canada i live in. which sort of makes sense. i can't wait for more of your norway trip!! steven Steven...Thanks for visiting; it seems ages since we exchanged words! Unfortunately, the next day we rushed up to Oslo and were on our way to Milan, so I didn't get many more photos except for a few river shots. I should imagine it would look a lot like where you live; I really wish we'd had more time there. At first I thought that it was a beaver,.. in Norway? Then to see a mink, what beautiful fur. Loved all the weathered wood of the buildings and of course...the cute mink! Wow! what a fantastic trip...3 weeks...it's been a while. missed you...glad you're back safe and sound. Can't wait to here more about the trip. Norway reminds me of sardines! At first I thought that was a bear in the photo. Thank you for sharing your view of Norway. Never been there, but would love to check it out. Ireland is just stunning at the moment, covered in frost and snow. Feel rather guilty saying I love the present arcic wnter we're having, because of the dangerous roads and difficulties for feeding our animals etc and of course Ireland is just not equipped for this kind of extreme weather. However, I adore it and have takens some pics as late as today, which I hope are at least a quarter as beautiful as yours. Thank you Maureen Maureen...I've just been over to see your snow pics...we've seen on the news that Britain is really snowed in, causing havoc at present. I'd love to see these little Norwegian cabins covered in snow (which they are at present) and the view down over the town and lake would be stunning. Thanks for visiting! How lucky you were to take such a trip Alaine. One of these days, I'm going to get to that part of the world. I have only been to Mexico and Canada and never to Europe. How nice you had places to stay while you were visiting. The ponds were frozen but no snow? I guess it must have really been cold! What's happening in your part of the world now? Summer just beginning? Teri....hi. We've just watched a documentary on Italy that's on every evening and we haven't seen any of it yet! There are so many beautiful places that I'd love to see, like the Cinque Terre, Sienna, San Gimignano, Portifiro, etc, etc!! It was great that we had places to stay with friends here and there and our train trips from Bologna to visit friends that Michael has met at various flyfishing shows around the globe. The ponds were frozen and two days after we left Norway, the snow started to fall. Yes, Summer began on 1st December but we're getting so much rain and expecting up to 100ml over the next two days!!! Which is good, as we've been in drought for so long but we've been home two weeks today and already have mown the acres 3 times!! But, hard work keeps the 'temple' in good order! I've always thought it might be nice to visit Scandinavia but it has a reputation for being expensive and we know how cold it gets! So it's nice to see your photos until the real thing comes along! Derrick...hard to believe there's one place you've never been to!! What is the view from Ole's apartment in Gjøvik, Norway?</s> <|assistant|> The view from Ole's apartment is of Lake Mjøsa.</s>

News from Yahoo.com and Bengals.com News from Yahoo.com and Bengals.com At the conclusion of the NFL spring owners meetings on Wednesday, commissioner Roger Goodell said Robert Kraft's decision not to appeal the penalties from the Deflategate investigation was the initiative of the New England Patriots' owner alone. "The decision Robert made was his decision," Goodell said. Goodell would not comment on the specifics of quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension or his appeal, but he said he looked forward to hearing from Brady. CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Bengals signed offensive tackle Jake Fisher of Oregon on Wednesday, leaving only two draft picks without contracts. Nick Mensio keeps track of every offseason transaction for all 32 teams. The NFL has gone out of its way to pick at the NFLPA the last couple of years, so it should be no surprise that the union is fighting back at every chance. On the heels of the NFLPA on Tuesday calling for Roger Goodell to recuse himself from Tom Brady's appeal, which was expected, came the out-of-the-blue motion by the NFLPA in federal court to hold the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell in contempt of court over the Adrian Peterson case. You know, the case of the suspended Minnesota Vikings running back, who was reinstated a month ago from his 2014 suspension? Yeah, that one. A federal judge vacated Peterson's suspension in late February , and ordered the case to go back to arbitration proceedings. The NFL appealed, and that bought enough time until the league could reinstate Peterson on its terms, in mid-April. If you question the NFL's authority, it will not be happy. Well, the NFLPA brought up that now-seemingly inconsequential ruling, seemingly because it can. Here's a key section of the media release , signed by NFLPA president and Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Eric Winston: [ Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football is back: Sign up for a league today! ] "On February 26th, the NFL was ordered to change their decision in the Peterson matter and reissue a ruling consistent with our collective bargaining agreement. The Union made multiple requests to the League office asking the arbitrator, who serves at the direction of the Commissioner, to comply with the law and avoid further litigation. Despite our attempts, they have done nothing and leave us no choice but to seek this motion. "The delay tactics, inconsistencies and arbitrary decision making of the League has continued to hurt the rights of players, the credibility of the League office and the integrity of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. In the absence of any action by the NFL's governing board of owners, the players have acted to hold the NFL accountable to our players, the CBA and to the law." Of course the entire point of the NFL's appeal appeared to be to stall until it could reinstate Peterson at the time it deemed appropriate. It would have been easier for the NFL to just let it go in late February and reinstate Peterson after the court's ruling, but it wanted to make a point. And now the NFLPA wants to make one too. Adding to the public battle is that the NFL told Sports Business Journal's Daniel Kaplan that the union four days ago didn't object to an extension of the deadling on filing in the appeal of the Peterson case. The NFL asked the court for more time to argue why the Eighth Circuit Court should overturn a lower court's decision that sided with Peterson, and the court granted that. In that filing, Kaplan wrote, the NFL said the NFLPA did not object to that extension. The case itself is practically meaningless at this point, but the underlying message is not. The NFL has in many ways seemed to taunt the union since scoring what most everyone considers a decisive victory in the last collective-bargaining agreement, in 2011. The latest was Goodell appointing himself to oversee Brady's appeal, then publicly reminding everyone that the union agreed to give him that power in the CBA. The union and league, at some level, need a cooperative relationship for the best of the sport. That relationship seems like quite the opposite of cooperative lately. - - - - - - - Frank Schwab is the editor of Shutdown Corner on Yahoo Sports. Have a tip?

Culled from a variety of genres, each artist booked for Spring Weekend is sure to bring different displays of creativity to the Main Green this weekend. Princess Nokia There’s an extraordinary, almost transfixing quality to Princess Nokia’s hip-hop. Hailing from Spanish Harlem and the Lower East Side of New York, the artist essentially came of age clubbing with New York creatives. This background almost certainly informed her music — heady alternative hip-hop and enchanting R&B seemingly created to soundtrack students’ transcendence of the earthly frame during Spring Weekend. With lyrics that wouldn’t be out of place in an ethnic studies class, Princess Nokia has actual conviction in her intellectualism and black feminism — tell your snapback wearing, Lil Dicky-listening roommate to stay home for this one. Empress Of Lorely Rodriguez, stage name “Empress Of,” was an early devotee to the cult of Icelandic pop star Bjork. And it shows quite evidently in Rodriguez’s own electro-pop, full of vocal undulations and ethereal instrumentation. Rodriguez’s music, like Bjork’s, carries a mythic quality — a secret to be kept in solidarity by the crowd. Her digital recordings might not translate perfectly to a live setting, but Empress Of’s composed, hypnotic electro-pop is sure to provide Friday’s audience with a much-needed respite from the chaos of the weekend. Young Thug If Kendrick is the undisputed king of hip-hop, Young Thug is the rightful prince. After ascending to fame in 2014 with the single “Stoner,” Young Thug — best known by fans as “Thugger” — has enjoyed popular and critical acclaim for his esoteric, heartfelt and just plain fun trap rap. The artist’s distinctive brand of rap, full of swelling brassy beats and overall good vibes, is sure to be a hit at Spring Weekend. Brown students’ sharp humor has never betrayed their nonconformity and social conscience — a quality complimented by Young Thug’s playfulness and defiance of sexuality and gender norms. But don’t laugh at the rapper’s often unintelligible lyrics. His set is Friday’s last, and, after the preceding two artists and a semester’s worth of darties, you’re guaranteed to be slurring your words more than Thugger. Cherry Glazerr Cherry Glazerr, a nascent indie rock and noise pop group with an inclination toward harsh sonics and visceral howls, may fail to appeal upon initial listen. But the group’s uniquely acerbic approach to indie pop deserves a chance, at least in a live setting. The outfit’s distorted guitar chords and vocal contortions will demand every ounce of your attention, granting their music an immediacy that’s tolerable if not enjoyable. You don’t have to be a head-banging adolescent to have a good time at Cherry Glazerr’s set. In compliance with the group’s exhortation of the ethos of rock and roll, just sit back and scream along, content to know your Organic Chemistry teaching assistant’s ears will probably start bleeding five seconds into the first song. AlunaGeorge Describing AlunaGeorge’s music as “left-field” would be like describing Brown students as “left-wing:” a fitting descriptor for sure, but one that doesn’t go nearly far enough in addressing just how singular the music of duo AlunaGeorge — the amalgam of singer-songwriter Aluna Francis and producer George Reid — really is. “You Know You Like It,” the duo’s break-away single and a dorm party staple, is prototypical of the group’s arresting vocals and spacious instrumentals that create the effect of listening to an alien muse. Transported from the dance floor to the Spring Weekend stage, some of the magic of the act might be lost the moment audiences see Reid awkwardly arched over a keyboard. Good thing a smoke sheen will probably be obscuring him from the audience for the duration of the set. Erykah Badu Like co-headliner Young Thug, Erykah Badu is a veritable visionary — albeit one that sings with a more delicate and classically beautiful tonality. Badu, a Los Angeles-based R&B and neo-soul singer, makes music that is anything but contrived. Drawing predictable comparisons to other female R&B singers like Beyoncé and Ciara would be a grave mistake; Badu, rather, recalls D’Angelo in her lush and atmospheric music. The gorgeous and cool Badu, sure to aspire awe in audience members, creates a refined soundscape to get lost in — the perfect panacea for a weekend of unbridled hedonism.

Smith for The Boston Globe Author Amy Bloom relaxes on her couch in her writing room. Amy Bloom writes novels, short stories, and screenplays. Her last novel, “Away,” won international acclaim with its epic saga of a Russian immigrant mourning her parents while traipsing across America. The sisters at the heart of her novel, slated for release this week, “Lucky Us,” are equally peripatetic, embarking on a road trip from the Midwest to Hollywood. Bloom lives near New Haven, Conn., with her family. NUTMEG STATE: I’ve lived in Connecticut most of my adult life. I’m sure I could live other places, too, but I like Connecticut. As the state [nickname] so proudly says, “The land of Steady Habits.” I find that very appealing. PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY’S CREATOR: I write in a little space that is over the only market in my town between the antique store and the coffee shop. It’s on the second floor, and you can’t really run up the stairs because they’re dark and lopsided. I have a kitchen table, which is my desk, a couch, and a big portrait of Oscar Wilde as a young man, which is a print I’ve had with me now for, I think, for 40 years. I love the photograph of him . . . He’s sitting on a pile of Turkish rugs, and he’s very young, probably in his early 20s. He’s beautiful. SEX AND CANDY: As Michael Cunningham once said, if it’s a good day you can write in a discotheque; if it’s a bad day you can’t write in a monastery. I don’t really need to have anything around me except a desk and paper and a pen . . . [and] a little figure of Ganesh dancing on top of my desk. He tends to travel with me, because who does not want the god of intellectual curiosity, perseverance and sex and candy with you at all times? FINNEGAN’S NOTEBOOK: I try to keep track of my notes, but I never do. I must have 9,000 notebooks hanging around. No doubt when I die, someone will be able to put these together in some kind of terrific “Finnegan’s Wake’’-like 900-page novel. LIKE DEAR OLD DAD: My dad was a journalist and a freelance magazine writer my whole life. He got up at noon and read the mail, took the dog for a walk, sat back down again and worked until 5:30. That was five days a week and sometimes six. There was no suggestion that writing was glamorous or fancy or that you would be famous or special. It was a job, a job like being a plumber or any other kind of job, except that he worked at home, and if he didn’t work he didn’t get paid. He was a great role model. Sometimes other writers will talk about how they always dreamt of being a writer. I never dreamt of being a writer; it looked like really hard work. Relative to other lines of work, it’s a walk in the park, but I think that that it was helpful that it didn’t look glamorous. THE HARD PART: Getting started is hard; a great middle is hard; a good ending is hard — it’s sort of dealer’s choice, here. But I think the act of kind of lowering myself into the well of a significant project is hardest; I have to clear a space mentally and in my life, and recalibrate everything I’m doing and then just climb down the ladder into whatever well that is. Once I’m underway, I’m pretty much down to business, but getting underway I can go back and forth and delude myself and rearrange all sorts of domestic details for quite an extended period of time . . . It means that I’m going to be less involved in my everyday life, which I happen to like quite a bit. If anyone has ever suggested that a happy domestic life makes it easier to write, I’d like to hear about it. I see fewer people; I do fewer things; I’m a little less engaged. I don’t spend much time thinking about what I’m going to make for dinner for my family. That’s a loss. It’s a clearing away, and there’s something very good about that, but it’s also a loss.

In addition to his two wins, the team won three other games he started and lost another 1-0. When Hendrickson showed up on crutches before the game, the team knew he wasn’t available. St. Michael collected 19 hits — two doubles, 17 singles — against Josh Juntunen, Jim Brown and Lance Johnson. Juntunen took the loss, giving up 12 runs (eight earned) in 3 1/3 innings.

'Zoo' might be the name of a night club or something. where you can get your crush on, eh? someplace you can go with your main squeeze? ride the snake bus to the club where you can ... um, nevermind. for the record, my local zoo's website is just zoo.org -- simple naive I'm afraid.. this whole site is "shopped" speaking of cracks ( from worth100. ) I have little doubt the bus is real...

My mature judgement: SFX are probably right. Kröd Mändoon is rubbish, desperately trying to be funny but basically running through adolescent jokes about sex while waving swords about. At least the episodes are only twenty minutes long, and it filled a few commutes nicely. But never mind what I thought; what do you think? Hex (2004-05), about a remote English country school that becomes the battleground between a demonic entity and the witches who oppose it: Hyperdrive (2006-07), following the crew of HMS Camden Lock as they stumble through their heroic mission to protect British interests in a changing galaxy in the year 2151: Jericho (2006-08), about the residents of the fictional town of Jericho, Kansas in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on 23 major cities in the contiguous United States: The Listener (2009), about a young Toronto paramedic named Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik) with the ability to listen to people's most intimate thoughts: Blade: The Series (2006), based on the Marvel Comics character and starring Sticky Fingaz: Masters of Science Fiction (2007), an anthology series dramatising "A Clean Escape" by John Kessel, "The Awakening" by Howard Fast, "Jerry Was a Man" by Robert A. Heinlein, "The Discarded" by Harlan Ellison, "Little Brother" by Walter Mosley and "Watchbird" by Robert Sheckley: Painkiller Jane (2007), another comics adaptation starring Kristanna Loken as the eponymous indestructible undercover cop: Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire (2009), about the struggle between reluctant hero Kröd Mändoon (Sean Maguire), and the evil ruler, Chancellor Dongalor (Matt Lucas): Demons (2009), about London teenager Luke Rutherford (Christian Cooke), who learns that he is the last descendant of the Van Helsing line by the sudden arrival of his American godfather Rupert Galvin (Philip Glenister): Flash Gordon (2007-08), starring Eric Johnson and Gina Holden: I watched all of Kröd and around half of Hyperdrive. Hyperdrive? Oh dear god, that was bad. It put us off poor Miranda Hart for years. That explains a lot. (I think Merlin is utter rubbish but still watch it.) Hyperdrive: Watched one episode, thought it was dire, accidentally saw a second one, cooking, put something on to cook, discovered that this was what Jericho: Saw the ads never managed to see episode one. The Listener: like this one, know it's cheezy etc still like it. Blade: I'm pretty sure I've seen some of this, can't remember though. Masters of Science Fiction Painkiller Jane - I think I may have seen the pilot, don't remember though. Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire: Missed this one, may have watched it if I had managed to catch it. Demons: Sounds interesting but didn't see it. Flash Gordon: I can manage to watch about anything (see responses above and note that I'd be happy to sit and watch Jericho if there was nowt else on, and I didn't have a book to read, and I wasn't in the mood for internetty stuff. I watched some of Masters of SF because they got shown on some cable channel or other late night. I wouldn't seek them out, but acceptable popcorn to vegetate in front of. At least, I hope not. Saw part of one episode of Hyperdrive and thought it had potential but was not as funny as it thought it was. Demons was abominable, but it did have Gladiolus Thripp, one of the most gloriously ridiculous bad guys who I prefered to all of the good guys. It also had the chief sidekick, who was the only normal person there was quite fun. I have no idea how people didn't like Krod Mandoon. Except I do because it was a particularly crude parody of sword and sorcery fantasy, and I think some fantasy fans might have had hurt feelings. I thought it was hilarious but yes, very crude. It also has the greatest exit line I've heard for quite a while. Hyperdrive: Watched one episode, it was shit. And, TBH, we already have Red Dwarf, so making a less funny version was kind of pointless (especially since genuine RD also managed that on its own...) Jericho: Heard of it, thought I might like to catch it to see what it was like, but aren't bothered that I never did. The Listener: Never heard of it Blade: Love the movies, but, how can I put this, that ain't no Snipes in the series. Masters of Science Fiction - wasn't impressed by Masters Of Horror, so never bothered Painkiller Jane - Heard of the comic, not the show Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire: Saw one - Matt Lucas' scenes were OK but otherwise it was rubbish, and about a decade too late to be an effective pisstake of Hercules/Xena etc Demons: Arg, pass the eye-bleach!

The latest is Stryker’s Accolade V40 femoral head, about which Stryker has issued a hazard alert warning against possible health risks, like loss of mobility, inflammation, dislocation, leg length discrepancy, and even the need for revision surgery.. What’s wrong with Stryker hip implants?. Health agencies around the world—including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada, and the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)—have expressed concern about MoM hip implants. Many agencies advise blood testing and imaging to ensure patients don’t have metal poisoning. The FDA says MoM patients should pay extra close attention to their general health, as some medical literature suggests MoM hip implants can lead to systemic reactions elsewhere in the body. As noted elsewhere, these types of implants have spawned massive recalls and thousands of lawsuits, two of which—concerning Stryker’s ABG II and Rejuvenate hip stems—were settled to the tune of $1.4 billion. But the Stryker Accolade V40 femoral head is still on the market. It has not been recalled, but in October 2016 Stryker. What are some notable hip implant lawsuits? As seen below, there is a strong precedent for settlement and awards in hip replacement lawsuits. Stryker’s Rejuvenate & ABG II Hip Stems In addition to the V40 femoral head, Stryker also manufactured the Rejuvenate and ABG II hip stems, both of which were recalled. Who is eligible for a Stryker hip implant lawsuit? According to the FDA, the following symptoms may indicate that a hip implant is not functioning properly if they occur more than three months after surgery: - Hip, leg, or groin pain - Swelling around the hip joint - Popping, grinding, clicking, or squeaking sounds from the hip - A limp or change in mobility In addition, patients should monitor their bodies for symptoms of metal poisoning: - Impaired kidney function - Thyroid problems like weight gain, neck discomfort, fatigue, chills - Depression, cognitive impairment, or other psychological issues - Skin rashes - Hearing or vision problems - Cardiomyopathy (weakened or enlarged heart muscle) If you or a loved one have suffered any of the side effects listed above, and/or had to undergo revision surgery due to a defective Stryker hip implant, you could be eligible for a lawsuit. Contact us to learn more. What types of compensation can one receive through a Stryker lawsuit? Stryker hip implant lawsuits can recover compensation for the following: - Medical expenses/hospital bills - Lost wages (past and future) - Pain and suffering - Attorney/legal fees - Any other damages deemed fair and reasonable Please note that our firm operates on a contingency basis, which means you do not owe us anything unless we secure an appropriate verdict or settlement (in which case, your attorney fees will come from the amount we procure). What is the first step in pursuing a Stryker hip implant lawsuit? For people who have undergone the difficult process of hip surgery, discovering that their new hip is defective can be truly devastating—financially, physically, and emotionally. We can help. If you or a loved one has a metal-on-metal hip implant, contact us today for a free consultation—even if you are unsure which type of hip implant you have received. You may be able to hold the manufacturer responsible and get relief for past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages. What are the potential health risks associated with Stryker's Accolade V40 femoral head hip implant?</s> <|assistant|> The potential health risks associated with Stryker's Accolade V40 femoral head hip implant include loss of mobility, inflammation, dislocation, leg length discrepancy, and even the need for revision surgery.</s>

The answer is lack of water, due to either drought or root rot from too much water. Photo shot in San Francisco, CA. on WEDNESDAY, May 31, 2006. (Katy Raddatz/The Chronicle) Photo taken on 5/31/06, in SAN FRANCISCO, CA. **Photo: Katy Raddatz Q: My Meyer lemon at home -- planted in the ground -- looks as if it is dying. Its leaves are turning yellow and withering. I suspect root rot from too much water, but I don't know. The same appears to be happening to one in a planter on a nearby rooftop that I see from my office window. A: As interesting as it is to contemplate a leaf-yellowing flu that is afflicting lemon trees, or perhaps a space alien that is sucking their sap, the answer is more likely to lie with watering practices. When a citrus tree can't get enough water from the soil, it develops yellow leaves with some wilting. Paradoxically, both overwatering and underwatering can cause these symptoms. An overwatered tree often develops root damage from decay, so it can't bring in enough water. Our record six-week rain could have created this unhappy condition, especially if you have clay soil. If the damage isn't too severe, the tree is likely to recover if allowed to dry out for a while. You can purchase a water meter and use it to probe the soil a few inches down. Don't water until that soil is still moist but on the dry side, then water deeply. Citrus trees in the ground will need water on the order of every two weeks in the dry season, but it depends on the type of soil and the weather. Also, be careful when you irrigate that you don't let the trunk stand in water, which can encourage disease. The roof-garden citrus tree, in a container, is more likely to be suffering from dry soil. The smaller volume of soil in a container dries out faster than the open ground. If this is the problem, a containerized citrus tree should perk up within 24 hours after a thorough watering. Long, warm, windy spring days dry the soil fast, so you have to pay special attention to plants in containers. Now, if the leaves of your tree are yellow between the veins while the veins themselves are still green, your problem is iron deficiency. This is caused by planting in soil that isn't acidic enough, so the plant can't absorb iron. Solve this problem by using a chelated iron fertilizer. Follow instructions on the label. Q: This is my second year with an infestation of surreal grasshopper (scudder's bush katydids). They are happy to stay in my backyard and eat rose leaves and photinia shrubs. I need to kill them as opposed to spraying them off with water. I have been manually eliminating them and using insecticidal soap. Do you have any other suggestions? Possibly a repellant? A: I picture a bucolic scene in which the charming, leaf-imitating katydids sing to you at night while gently munching a few rose leaves, but I'm sure it is in fact a scene of alarming devastation. The good news is that katydids have only one life cycle each year, so it should be possible to get ahead of their multiplication rate. Starting with ideas for repellants, consider buying hot pepper spray or making garlic oil spray. Here's the recipe: Add 3 ounces of minced garlic cloves to 1 ounce of mineral oil. Let stand for 24 hours or longer. Strain out garlic. Then add 1 teaspoon of fish emulsion and 1 tablespoon of castile soap to 16 ounces of water. Slowly mix the fish emulsion solution with the garlic oil and store in a glass container with a tight lid. To use, mix 2 tablespoons of the garlic oil mixture with 2 cups of water and spray. Another substance that may serve to repel (and possibly kill) the insects is neem oil, but it may be most effective on the younger stages of the insect. If you try these treatments, experiment with only a part of your garden, say one rose plant, so you can see if it works. In any case, I recommend that you take action later in the year to reduce the number of eggs that live through the winter. It is probable that the species you have lays its eggs between layers of leaves, creating a small, slightly raised and discolored blister. If you defoliate your roses in winter, as many do to encourage dormancy and reduce the occurrence of diseases, you will be removing katydid eggs as well. Be sure to rake up all the fallen leaves as they could be harboring katydid eggs. In the spring, look for the young nymphs to start hatching and act quickly to repel or kill the pests while they are small. One possibility is to spray them with a half-cup of molasses in a quart of water, which kills grasshoppers and might kill katydids, too. Or, if by chance you could borrow some chickens for a few weeks as the insects are hatching, they would probably clean up your yard nicely while offering fresh eggs in return. What causes yellowing leaves on lemon trees?</s> <|assistant|> The yellowing of leaves on lemon trees is caused by lack of water, due to either drought or root rot from too much water. Both overwatering and underwatering can cause these symptoms. An overwatered tree often develops root damage from decay, so it can't bring in enough water. On the other hand, citrus trees in containers are more likely to suffer from dry soil.</s>

However, there is a gender role reversal in this audio to help listeners understand that we may not always act out our gender roles just because society tells us to, which is perfectly fine. Just like Kayla in this audio is not your stereotypical “housewife, woman” because of her job as a police officer. However, Kayla knows what she wants and is comfortable with her gender and personality enough to negotiate within her relationship. It is up to us to determine our own gender roles and decide what we are comfortable with. - Can you identify examples of gender roles and social norms in this vignette? - How do you think the gender roles and social norms that you just identified affects Kayla’s and Michael’s relationship? - How do you feel about Kayla’s gender role reversal? Vignette 2: “ Breaking the rules” Relationship violence is an underreported issue. As a victim, there can be many reasons why it is difficult to let anyone know about the problem whether it is a family member, friend, or medical provider. Therefore, it is important for us to recognize signs of relationship violence and be more sensitive towards the situation. This can help the victim become more comfortable with disclosing information and allow someone to get them the appropriate help they need. - What do you think Maria and Dr. Smith’s office did wrong in this audio vignette? - What would be a more appropriate response that Maria could of gave Tianna after learning about their relationships issues? - How do you think Dr. Smith’s office has affected Tiana’s perspective about healthcare providers? Vignette 3: : “Walking on eggshells” Relationship violence can happen to anyone in any type of relationship whether it is heterosexual or homosexual. In the audio, Andrews experiences verbal abuse from his partner Vincent. They both experience the same social and gender roles as heterosexual people. However, social norms have stereotypes towards same sex couples that affect our judgment. It is important for us to understand that same sex relationships can also experience the same types of violence as heterosexual relationship. - Can you identify the signs of an unhealthy relationship in this vignette? - After identifying the signs of an unhealthy relationship, do you think they are similar to a heterosexual relationship and why? - Did this vignette offer a different aspect of relationships and why?

Our main aim is to serve the local Wassenaar community. That means listening to the views and opinions of our fellow-villagers and following up on what we hear. We are a mix of social-democrats and liberals, neither right nor left oriented. Our priorities include the following key issues : In a nutshell, we are conservative as far as it concerns the protection of the quality of life in Wassenaar and yet we are also progressive by keeping an open mind for developments and challenges of the future. There is no such thing as a hidden agenda. We are free and independent. Lokaal Wassenaar! has no masters, only the constituents of Wassenaar. The law concerning who has the right to vote without being Dutch is regulated in the “de Kieswet” – the law dealing with elections. “De Kiesraad” – the Dutch National Electoral Council - gives further details and advice in this respect, see In local elections expats have the right to participate as long as they are registered in their municipality. This also applies to Dutch and other EU citizens abroad, however, not to embassy and consular staff. Non-EU citizens must have lived permanently in The Netherlands for at least five years. For non-EU expats living in Amsterdam, it is possible to vote in the District Council (Bestuurscommissie) elections provided they have been registered in the city for more than three years. The number of expats in The Netherlands is significant, however mainly concentrated in the Randstad. Amsterdam has a population of 77.000 expats, The Hague 50.000, Rotterdam 48.000, Maastricht 25.000 and Eindhoven 20.000. In a recent article of the magazine "Binnenlands Bestuur" it appears that only one of these cities, namely Maastricht, provides for specific information for Expats. More info at . This information concerns the legal rights of the local political parties as well as their policies and aims. There are also different clubs/associations for expats, and relevant information with respect to Dutch elections etc. in English is to be found at their websites. Wassenaar is well known for its international community. There is no municipality where there are so many diplomatic residences in relation to the number of inhabitants. Lokaal Wassenaar! is proud of our international community. There are several good examples of excellent integration at local level. For example ASH, the American School of The Hague and the sports club Blauw-Zwart where locals and expats cooperate well together. On cultural level the cooperation between the local band, Excelsior Harmony, and the band of the ASH is very successful indeed. Lokaal Wassenaar! is aware of the necessity of further integration of our international community in Wassenaar. In our party there will be one person responsible for expats and contact with the international municipality. Several candidates of our party and members of our board have been expats. Our policy will be to further increase and provide for assistance and information to the expats living in Wassenaar. This will also include the assistance in terms of the Dutch language and more online information via social media. This will be done at our own website and on Facebook. Last but not least local political parties, particularly Lokaal Wassenaar! , concentrate on the values and needs of the village of Wassenaar and its inhabitants whereas the main political parties are more directed to increase their own power nationwide.

At least 20 people were injured, six seriously, after an horrendous pile-up involving at least 100 cars on the autobahn near Munzenberg, Germany, caused by the treacherous conditions. Meanwhile, Frankfurt airport closed at midday after recording about five inches of snow with more than 100 flights already cancelled and many others delayed. In Paris, a quarter of outbound flights have been cancelled at Charles de Gaulle airport and Belgium has seen a record 1,000 miles of traffic jams during morning rush hour. Spokesman Hagen Vetter said Autobahn 45 in Germany looked ‘like a battlefield’ following the horrific crash this afternoon. The motorway was completely shut down in both directions while rescue services tried to pick through the wreckage to reach those inside, some of whom had to be cut out. Heavy drifting snow had already led to several accidents in the area before the collision. A spokesman for airport operator Fraport in Frankfurt said he hoped operations could resume later in the day when the snow was expected to ease. - Office buildings in the French capital – like those in the European Union’s capital, Brussels – were only partly full and high-speed trains are stuck in their stations. The French train network SNCF urged commuters in the Paris region to stay home instead of trying to reach downtown ‘because of the unfavorable evolution of weather conditions.’ Paris airport screens flashed with red warnings after the French civil aviation authority ordered 25 per cent of flights out of Charles de Gaulle Airport canceled, and 20 per cent of flights out of Orly Airport. Instead of the onset of spring, Belgium had a record 1,000 miles. Roads around northern France were blocked by snow or closed by transport authorities, and trucks were banned from several routes. Nearly 500 cars were blocked near Cherbourg where snowdrifts piled up almost two feet and winds reached more than 60 mph.

A few years later, at the neighborhood high school, he routinely sacrificed his spindly frame — up front, along the edge and everywhere else, for that matter — as a blinding halfback for the mighty Goldsboro Earthquakes. And long after the glory of his team’s undefeated 1937 campaign was folded into scrapbooks, he endured the worst of man’s disposition, serving God and country for the Allied Powers in Hitler’s Europe. Dick Daughtry, Goldsboro High Class of 1937, was the full embodiment of Brokaw’s Greatest Generation — which meant giving without hesitation or question — and remains so. Throughout his 97 years — whether as a popular student-athlete, an impressionable soldier or a civic-minded bookstore owner — he has welcomed the world to his table, offering direction and lasting friendship to it, without so much as a single moment of fuss. The ultimate teammate, one might say. Congratulations, Mr. Daughtry — and thank you.

The entire Highrise project spans 2,500 years of vertical living around the world and highlights the social inequalities that rose up among the bricks and mortar. Beginning with "Mud" and ending with "Glass," director Katarina Cizek drew on The New York Times's vast photo archives to tell the story of the highrise and its impact on social history. Part four, entitled "Home," is made up of images submitted by the public, who are invited to explore the documentary's themes further by clicking around the project's main site here. Toronto's Helios Design Labs has served as the project's "house band" throughout its various iterations online, which includes the creation of "One Millionth Tower," the world’s first HTML5/WebGL short film built entirely in code.

All of these projects were created and are maintained for free. The new condition Ubuntu affiliate program changed, actually some points of the new programs are not clear to me but I read The other tracks have distinct revenue requirements for progression through them. These numbers are not being made public, but will help you understand the reasons for the tiers. [cut] The figures are the revenue that flows to Canonical from sales that you make. These sales can be made up from the range of Canonical services and future product offerings. These may look initially high, but we have set the bar for the highest level quite high intentionally. Any partner that reaches gold tier has really earned it. We have based the tiers on revenue to alleviate any potential entry fee to the programme. I can’t really understand if we’ll have to pay to remain affiliate or not… anyway I hope more info will be given us. The idea We said “hey, if we’ll have to pay, let’s try building some real business on Ubuntu, so we can remain affiliate”. Working on UCK the idea was easy, build a website where people can customize their Ubuntu adding software, language support and many other things and get their brand new shining DVD at home for a price. I wanted to call that buildyourubuntu.com. It seem to us that’s really a good name, you can understand what the service do and that’s what we want. A good business must have a good name, a good business would bring us revenue and we would give part of them to Canonical (we haven’t decided prices and revenues yet) for the affiliate program and would keep alive our free projects and maybe build other new free services. The problem Ubuntu is a trademark, we can’t use that name without a license. We write to Canonical trademarks team. The answer After 3 weeks we get a “NO, you can’t use that name for your business, you could for a free service but not for a business one”. Why? Because it could seem too “official” meaning “related to Canonical”. Our delusion How would you call a service that build a custom Ubuntu for you? Oh I don’t want to hear flickr/scriptaculous clones please. The point is, I think I can say we do fair play with free software, it’s not right to avoid us the possibility to create a new original service that would also bring money to Ubuntu itself. Sure we can call that service “BuildYourOs.com” or “BuildYourDistro.com” or “BuildYourLinux.com” but: - it’s not clear: you can’t understand we’re ONLY talking about Ubuntu - it’s simply ugly, if you work in marketing tell me if I’m wrong - Linux is a trademark too thus you must gain a license to use the Linux name Is my love for Ubuntu ruined? Actually I don’t know, I’m feeling really sad right now. I can understand Canonical’s stance. I think CustomizeUbuntu would be accepted, would that be an idea?

<|system|> You are a friendly chatbot who always answer users question by looking into the provided context.</s> <|user|> By Heidi Cho My definition of good writing has become increasingly ambiguous, between the academic papers, poems, novels and news articles I read. It was a welcome change to see the Nobel Prize in Literature winner — Kazuo Ishiguro — in my newsfeed between the natural disasters and nuclear war threats. I naturally assumed that if one wins the Nobel Prize in Literature, there must be a reason. I thought to myself that Ishiguro’s work could surely remind me of what good writing is because only good writing could win a Nobel Prize. The naive trust I had in the Nobel Prize Foundation was only ripped away by this decision, much like Morty’s faith in superheroes in the “Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender” episode of “Rick and Morty.” The lack of justification behind Ishiguro’s prize made me reconsider the Norwegian Nobel Committee’s authority to award the Nobel Prize. Several media outlets scrambled to release Ishiguro’s life and works. “The Remains of the Day” and “Never Let Me Go” are two of his most prominent works, according to The New York Times. While writing, “The Remains of the Day,” Ishiguro’s wrote from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. — Monday through Saturday — for an entire month, according to The Atlantic. These long endless hours spent writing his award-winning historical romance novel really show the author’s work ethic and passion for literature. Ishiguro was strategic in his writing, and he challenged what it took for a story to be fantasy with his novel, “The Buried Giant,” according to The Guardian. The official Nobel Prize description of Ishiguro’s writing flagged in comparison to the detailed pieces by The Atlantic and The Guardian. Sara Danius, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, offered more insight into why Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize for Literature in an interview on the official Nobel Prize YouTube channel. “He doesn’t look to the side. He has developed an aesthetic universe all his own,” Danius said, offering a snippet into the reasoning of Norwegian Nobel Committee’s decision. On a grander scale, that offers no reasoning for why Ishiguro’s work was chosen over others. While there does not have to be a rubric for choosing a Nobel Prize winner — and there isn’t one — I feel like there could be more done to show the thought process of how the members of the Nobel Prize Organization chose winners. The confidential nature of the prize selection process demands an element of trust on the behalf of the public. It could be contested that the trust of the public was broken when the committee in 1949 awarded Egas Moniz, a laureate for his studies on lobotomies, according to Nobelprize.org. The committee awarded Moniz for a medical procedure that cured some patients of their mental illness, but actually robbed them of their personality and emotional capacity. While the controversial procedure was considered a medical advance when Moniz received the award, the procedure is rarely performed today due to its harsh side effects. The Nobel Foundation refused to acknowledge the mistake, or rescind the award, according to NBC. In fact, the Nobel Foundation — as of Sept. 8 — has never revoked an award, even when faced with criticism, according to The Telegraph. Amidst all the praise and prestige, it is easy to overlook the process of choosing a winner, especially when the names of the other competitors will be anonymous for 50 years, according to NPR. Could the justification of Ishiguro’s award have been made clearer? How will the public know objectively why he won over his competition? The Norwegian Nobel Committee has not broken the trust of the public to a point of public outrage. Providing more justification for each laureate could be a good way to prevent further accusations of bias. However, in time, the lack of transparency between the committee and the general public could lead to an event that would shatter the trust in the process permanently.

This collection seeks to address this question. Comparative work in postcolonial studies often turns on the mode by which subaltern peoples were governed in the high colonial past. Framed in this way, ground for comparison has tended to concern the way the colonized suffered governmental classification, subjection, and regulation by the colonial state. David Scott’s seminal essay on this topic, grounded in colonial Ceylon, opened the way to much investigation. Similarly, Ann Laura Stoler’s work has incisively examined the relation between apparatuses of colonial governmentality in the former Dutch East Indies and French Indochina. There is much to be gained from this approach and, as the work of scholars like Patrick Wolfe have shown, analysis of colonial governmentality reveals how epistemologies of anthropology and colonial administration moved across colonial spaces. This collection aims to connect such analysis with the present, exploring the way revenants (in Derrida’s sense, particularly in Spectres of Marx) of such governmentality return and remain in apparently (post)colonial times. How, for instance, do projects of national reconciliation account for, critique, and (at times) cover over the colonial traumas they seek to memorialize? How do postcolonies produce public spheres that challenge the memory of such colonial trauma? What are the lacunas and blindspots? How do postcolonial literatures challenge existing models of cultural memory? How are such challenges similarly refracted in festivals, public events, and other such performances? While the collection seeks to account for the historic legacy of colonial governmentality, it is the legacy that the collection most emphasizes---the mode of memorialization that persist at the end of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first; nonetheless, historical analyses of particular paradigms of colonial governmentality will be considered. Several publishers have expressed interest in the collection and, with your contribution, the project promises to be a strong contribution to the field. Example topics that essays in the collection might explore include: ---postcolonial societies and cultural memory ---cultural memory within diasporic movements ---the governmentality of affect ---the relation between neoliberalism and postcoloniality ---the postcolony and necropolitics ---anticolonial and decolonizing movements and collective memory ---the mediation of cultural memory ---the politics of reconciliation ---indigenous responses to national projects of cultural memory ---literature and the public sphere in the postcolony ---film and the public sphere in the postcolony The collection encourages comparative work, but could also include studies engaged in sustained analysis of single colonial and postcolonial texts, sites, and spaces. Similarly, literary, ethnographic, historical, and cultural analysis are all within the purview of the collection. Essays are to be between 6500 and 8500 words in length. Please submit 500 word abstracts (including proposed essay title) and curriculum vitae to Michael R. Griffiths (mg3349@columbia.edu) by Octboer 15, 2012.

The substantial action of prime Chaos is composed of the ignificative, aerificative etc. and it is the universal or common form which divides into individuals of species in the third Chaos. Accidental action of the prime Chaos is the action of the ignificative, not in its own essence, but in the essences of the other elements, and the same applies to them. This accidental form is universal to all the individual accidental forms in the third Chaos where it divides itself into individual accidents present in supposites where each element is active in the others, and this shows how action is divided in the prime Chaos and in the third. 2. The universal action of the prime Chaos, is form acting on its own matter so that each elementative acts on its own elementable; it is a universal motive power that moves all particular powers in the third Chaos, and hence, we also understand that there is yet another universal motive power whereby each elementative acts on the essences of the other elements, and under which all particular accidental motive powers in the third degree are moved. 3. The substantial form of each element is the same thing as its purely substantial action, but because this form, while it acts substantially on its own matter, also acts accidentally on alien matters, namely those of the other elements, accidental action follows accidentally, as we see in fire whose form acts on the matter of air etc. with its heat and light by heating and lighting it, and therefore the form of air acts by accident with heat and light on its own matter, as it acts on the entire essence so as to contain the matter. The form of air also acts on its own matter substantially inasmuch as this form is totally imbued and infused throughout the entirety of its own matter. And this applies likewise to the other elements, which shows that there is both substantial and accidental action. 4. Each element has a dual action, sensible and insensible. The insensible action is the one which can in no way be sensed by any corporeal sense, and this is the one whereby simple fire acts on its own proper simple matter resulting in a simple element; but the sensible action is the one whereby the entire supposite aggregated from the four elements is sensibly hot, or cold and so forth. 5. Substantial action, which is substantial form, is quantified in itself and in its own matter, and it is qualified by accident in other remote forms and other remote matters when each element acts in the others, as we see when heat accidentally acts on moisture, and so forth. 6. Given that the action of the prime Chaos is diffused throughout the entirety of the Chaos, it flows universally into the third Chaos, and its influx is received by the third Chaos in particular ways, because the third Chaos is distinctly divided into species and supposites. This shows that universal or common action is real, and that it divides itself as the third Chaos receives it, and disperses itself into the parts which come into action in the third Chaos. 7. In the third Chaos there is a certain agent which receives matter from the prime Chaos, in which there is likewise another agent which gives it. Therefore the prime Chaos, under the recipient's action, enters into the action and passion of the third, whence arises the mixture of both degrees of Chaos, as we see in a wheat grain generating many grains, when its form receives influence from the first Chaos and acts on its own matter as the first Chaos enters formally and materially into the form and matter of the generating grain, while the form of this grain acts by reproducing and many similar grains of its own species. 8. In the form of fire there is intense active heat with which form acts on its own matter in which there is intense passive heat, so that throughout the entire essence of fire there is extended heat composed of action and passion, and under it, fire is essentially present in supposites together with the essences of the other elements. 9. The action of the prime Chaos is incessant and incorruptible everywhere within the lunar sphere. In the third Chaos it is incessant but corruptible as some supposites fall into corruption, given that as a supposite is destroyed, its action is deprived of its individual being and reverts to the prime Chaos while the parts of the deprived supposite enter into the mixture of the prime Chaos, whence they later revert to the third Chaos under some other numerically different individual supposite.

It’s not easy doing so when you have tribes nipping at your heel, Gauls raiding your villages and a massive Greek war machine building power just over the horizon. The problems of nation building in the 386 to 272 BC period of history are brought out in fine manner using GMT’s excellent new card-driven game Sword of Rome. Sword of Rome covers the period of Rome’s rise to prominence from a nascent republic to the beginnings of empire just prior to the Punic Wars.. This success is a credit to Wray Ferrell, Sword’s designer (his first title). - Subscribe online and save nearly 40%! The Sword and the Spear GMT once again provides us with a well presented and produced game. The area movement map is well rendered, is pleasing to the eye, and gives historical flavor while remaining functional to the game play. There are three types of spaces: a normal space, a walled city space and a tribal space. Units move along paths, which can be clear, rough or strait; the Romans can even build the Appian Way to speed their legions along. The counters are colorful and, like the map, remain functional while also giving historical flavor. The combat unit markers simply give a value for the strength of the army and can be exchanged like money to reflect the changes of strength due to combat and reinforcement. They also contain a nice drawing of a warrior of the nation or tribe it represents. The leader counters show a helmet worn by that nation’s army, the name of the leader (or simply "Minor Leader"), an initiative (for activation) rating, and a tactical rating. That is all the information one needs to glean from the counters; it’s simple and it works. There are also markers for city loyalty, control of spaces and other game information. The key components of this game are the four decks of Strategy Cards. These cards are the fuel that drives the game by allowing players to activate leaders and move units, build new forces, disrupt other players’ moves, and even bring the "non-player" powers of the Trans-Alpine Gauls, Volsci and Carthaginians into the action . Players expend these cards as part of their action phase, five of which make up a turn. In the nine game turns, players will use a minimum of 45 cards. I say "a minimum" because you can also play cards in response to another player’s cards, and combat cards to enhance your forces or degrade those of your opponent at the moment of combat. To make things even more unpredictable, each player has two "desperate times" cards that he can throw down at almost any time to give him another action phase in addition to the 5 per turn. This adds up to a highly interactive and fluid game where almost anything goes. Because of the ability of players to interrupt the sequence of play, they have the ability to quickly upset the plans of the other powers. But what goes around comes around, and one’s own plans can be hit hard too. But don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to portray a game that is totally wild. A healthy dose of realism tempers the action with things such as combat losses, flanks to protect, limited activation of some leaders, and what I think is the genius behind the game, the unique strengths and weakness of each of the player powers in the game. Sword of Rome cards and counters Consuls to the Senate This uniqueness of strengths and weaknesses is portrayed well while keeping the game play mechanics identical for each player. My hat is off to Mr. Ferrell for accomplishing this feat. He did so by having simple movement and combat mechanics that apply to all players, but giving them certain attributes and situations that force each power into their historical roles. For example, The Roman player has a strong army that rebounds easily from combat losses. Rome can build walled cities thus allowing them to consolidate gains. But they have to receive new leaders (the Consuls) every turn, and may get strong ones or weak ones. Once a game they can bring in the Dictator, who is a very strong military leader. The Greeks are very strong militarily and have the best leaders on the board, but by being a democracy they have to build up loyalty in their cities every turn to be able maintain the leaders on the board. This, coupled with the fact that the Greek leaders have (for the most part) high activation ratings, makes it difficult for the Greeks to launch continuous operations. The Gauls, on the other hand, have a different way of gaining victory points from the other players; they need to plunder territory and cities to win. They can move faster than the other players and can suddenly appear down a coast raiding and looting along the way. But it is difficult to do long term planning for the Gauls, as they must draw a new hand every turn. They also have to deal with the pesky Trans-alpine Gauls who may suddenly appear on their northern frontier. The Etruscan-Samnite player has two tribes to handle. His Etruscans are wedged between Rome and the Gauls and his Samnites are in the hills between the Greeks and Romans. This player can be the big spoiler and needs to be clever in who he takes on, and with whom he allies. But their strength lies in the ability to bribe off attacks and the Samnites are well protected in the hills of south-central Italy. There is an underlying political and loyalty control system to this game. It is very subtle, but very important to the game play. One needs to control areas and cities or your armies can suffer attrition. You gain control by either spending activation cards to place control markers, by card-induced events, or by winning battles. It took me a few turns to figure out how the political control system worked and what it was doing for the game. It is probably the most complex part of this title and needs to be well understood by the players. The game comes with a Playbook that gives an extensive replay of one whole turn of a four-player game. I recommend new players set up and go through the example to see how the different mechanics interact. This will provide a sense of how the game works. [continued on next page] It’s also a much better game than Kingmaker. The ways you affect loyalty points and the consequences of losing battle are confusing, however, the list of what you can and can’t do is exhaustive and unambiguous, which really helps. What are the key components of the game Sword of Rome?</s> <|assistant|> The key components of the game Sword of Rome are the four decks of Strategy Cards. These cards allow players to activate leaders and move units, build new forces, disrupt other players’ moves, and even bring the "non-player" powers of the Trans-Alpine Gauls, Volsci and Carthaginians into the action. Players expend these cards as part of their action phase, five of which make up a turn.</s>

Photo by Mica Mead courtesy of the Asheville Area Arts Council. A free new Web portal, Asheville Arts Alive, launched March 21, aiming to help local artists connect with tourists and their dollars. Details of the project, a collaboration between the Asheville Area Arts Council and the Asheville Convention and Visitors Bureau, were announced at the Creative Sector Summit, a three-day conference devoted to exploring and expanding the local arts industry. Tourists spend about $1.5 billion in Buncombe County every year, and organizers said they hope the new Asheville Arts Alive website will help funnel more of that money to local artists. “The arts portal is an exciting project,” says Stephanie Brown, executive director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau. The organization is hosting the portal as part of its existing Exploreasheville.com site, which, each year, attracts 3.5 million users who use it to help plan their vacations. The idea is for creative professionals and organizations to be able to post profiles and event information free of charge, directing potential new customers their way even before they set foot in town. The site allows qualifying members with free accounts to post a wide range of promotional information as well as photos, videos and social media content. “This is a really fantastic thing that’s been in the works for a while,” says Kitty Love, executive director of the Arts Council. “Those profiles are like websites embedded into the system.” The more people and organizations that participate, the better an economic driver it will be, she adds. Although Brown cautions that the site is still a work in progress, she says that artists are needed now to “put in content as its being designed.” For more details and to apply for an account visit.

<|system|> You are a friendly chatbot who always answer users question by looking into the provided context.</s> <|user|> Where to Stream:True Memoirs of an International Assassin True Memoirs of an International Assassin isn’t going to change your opinion of Kevin James. The new Netflix film stars James as an office drone by day/writer by night whose life gets turned upside down when his fiction novel about a deadly assassin gets published as a nonfiction novel and he is (naturally) mistaken for a deadly assassin. Hilarity, you guessed it, ensues. If you generally enjoy Kevin James’ madcap shenanigans and didn’t instantly think “Does Google not exist in this movie?” when you read that last sentence, you will probably like this film. If you rolled your eyes with the antipathy of 1,001 Paul Blarts forced to deal with a cadre of meddlesome teens at a poorly air-conditioned food court, this movie probably won’t be your particular brand of whiskey if you’re picking up what I’m putting down. Nobody is on the fence about Kevin James. I highly doubt there’s someone out there thinking, “I’ll wait until after Paul Blart: Mall Cop 3 until I render my final verdict on the case of Me vs. Liking Kevin James.” And if by some chance you actually are having those thoughts, you’re not even the number one Paul Blart: Mall Cop fan, buddy. For the most part, True Memoirs of an International Assassin is exactly what you’d expect from a Kevin James comedy, but there is one small detail that made the film immensely more enjoyable: the use of Spanish-language versions of American pop songs. After Kevin James’ character is mistaken for an international assassin known as “The Ghost,” he’s kidnapped and transported to Venezuela where he is repeatedly ordered to kill a number of people. These exchanges usually go something like this: Sometimes Andy Garcia/Sometimes another character: I want you to kill Corrupt Person A. Kevin James: I really don’t want to kill Corrupt Person A. SAG/SAC: If you kill Corrupt Person A, we will let you go home. Kevin James: But I’m not an assassin. SAG/SAC: Yes you are. Kill Corrupt Person A or we’ll kill you. Kevin James: Okay. This happens somewhere between three and fifty times. But as Kevin James — who I must once again reiterate people believe to be an international assassin because his book was labeled as non-fiction — goes from character to character receiving orders to kill a different person like some kind of malfunctioning Rube Goldberg Assassination Machine, we’re treated to catchy Spanish-language versions of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight,” and The Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go” that imbue the scenes with some much-needed verve. But music supervisor Julianne Jordan, who’s worked in the music department for films like Pitch Perfect, Sisters, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, saved the best for last. As the film reaches its conclusion and Kevin James is about to head off into the “and he lived happily ever after” sunset, a Spanish-language version of The Outfield’s seminal ’80s classic “Your Love” begins to play. While most of the songs from the sensational soundtrack are unfortunately unavailable, this one (and Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf”) can be found online. Enjoy!

This little-known Ian Fleming James Bond short story has never been published as a part of the official Bond collection before. The story includes a special introduction by Fleming’s former literary agent and retired Glidrose chairman, Peter Janson-Smith, who explains its history. Fleming originally wrote this very short story (it’s only eight pages) for The New York Herald Tribune in 1963 where it was first published as Agent 007 in New York. (Fleming’s original title was Reflections in a Carey Cadillac.) The story was later included in Fleming’s non-fictional work, Thrilling Cities, a travelogue collection of the author’s impressions of various cities around the world. The story was included in this book as a counterpoint to Fleming’s own harsh judgment of the city, and to alleviate fears that American readers would take offense. Fleming may not love New York, but James Bond does, so… Strangely enough, 007 in New York only appears in the U.S. edition of Thrilling Cities. The first UK publication of the short story wasn’t until 1999 when it was featured in a Sunday Times supplemental magazine tie-in with The World Is Not Enough. When Ian Fleming Publications reissued all the Fleming titles in 2002, 007 in New York was at last included as part of the official canon, appearing in the Octopussy collection. The U.S. edition was released last week (see Publication of Final 2 “Retro” Fleming Books Marks Milestone). So what’s in this story for Bond fans? Not much action-wise. Instead it features a mostly internal monologue in which 007 muses on the sights, sounds, and his own memories of New York City as he travels to warn a girl who used to work for SIS that she is dating a Russian spy. Bond has arranged to meet her at the Reptile House at the Central Park Zoo–until he realizes that the Central Park Zoo has no reptile house! Nevertheless, Bond looks forward to the many pleasures the city has to offer (he considers the best meal in the city “oyster stew with cream, crackers, and Miller High Life” served at Grand Central Station’s Oyster Bar), and especially looks forward to spending the night with a girl named Solange. A memorable highlight of the story is when Bond gives his precise recipe for. And you thought he was picky about his martinis! Of course, hardcore fans will recall that it was in New York where Bond killed his second man in cold blood and thus received his double-oh license to kill. Unfortunetly, Bond does not include this memory among his other recollections of the city. The U.S. edition of Octopussy & The Living Daylights (featuring cover art by artist Richie Fahey) can be ordered from BN.com. UK buyers can purchase the book from amazon.co.uk.

Katarina is an AP Carry who outstands in teamfights. Katarina can clear out minion waves on a short time period. Katarina is a strong and versatile ganker who can easily get to her target and get away from her target. Although you can easily jump into teamfights and get loads of kills, Katarina isn't a tank. She can't 1v5 the whole enemy team on a normal score. Katarina can only be very effective when she gets kills early game. Katarina is a melee champ, which makes it a bit harder for her to get easy minion kills early game. This is my first guide I've ever made. Pros / Cons Pros: + Fast minion wave clearer + Very strong late game + No mana + Great teamfighter + Highly rewarding Cons: - Needs kills to be effective - Isn't a tank, can't jump in 1v5 like she's Malphite - Melee mage - Gets focused a lot Runes In my opinion, pretty standard AP Carry runes. The AP gives some nice damage, while Magic Resist helps you in mid almost always to survive easily and the Magic Penetration makes sure people who build Magic Resist won't take too much less damage from you. Masteries Pretty standard AP Carry masteries. Ability Power, Cooldown Reduction and Magic Penetration in Offense. Health Regen, Health and Magic Resist in Defense. Nothing in Utility, since Katarina doesn't need this tree. She doesn't have any mana and isn't a support either. Items Probably everyone thought at the beginning of this build while they were looking at the items: Where is the Hextech Revolver? Well, Katarina doesn't need it. In my opinion, the Deathfire Grasp is a lot better early game on Katarina. She will deal tons of damage when you are doing Death Lotus and you use your active on Deathfire Grasp. Other items are pretty obvious in my opinion. The Abyssical Scepter and the Zhonya's Hourglass make it easier for you to survive teamfights, since you get focused a lot as Katarina. The Liandry's Torment is great for the end game, since you will deal too much damage for the enemy team to even react to it, and best of all, when you get a kill or assist, you can just Shunpo to the next target and so on! I don't start with Doran's Ring, because Katarina can get some crazy damage on her early game. This is why she needs to have Health Pots in the beginning. Skill Sequence Q: Bouncing Blades W: Sinister Steel E: Shunpo R: Death Lotus R > Q > W > E To jump into fights: Q -> E -> W -> R And then continue this order the whole game. Farming Try to get Creep Score by doing this order: Q -> W If you really want to farm a little bit more without auto-attacking, use Shunpo, but be sure you won't be ganked or you'll probably be dead. Tips You should get some wards in your inventory to: - Put in your lane to Shunpo away from possible ganks - Get over obstacles by putting the ward over the wall and Shunpo towards it Get your teammates to be near to you over a wall when you are running away, since you could just Shunpo over the wall to get away from fights, and maybe bait some people to flash as well and melt their face down.

What are the pros and cons of playing Katarina in a game?</s> <|assistant|> The pros of playing Katarina include fast minion wave clearing, strong late game, no mana usage, great teamfighting, and high rewards. The cons include the need for early game kills to be effective, inability to tank like Malphite, being a melee mage, and getting focused a lot.</s>

The band will tour the UK in November to support the new release. The band have played 2 UK tours, 2 European Tours, done lots of festivals and finished off with a triumphant appearance at the Monsters of Rock Festival in Milton Keynes in June. They’ve recently released their fourth self financed DVD – a double affair called “Thunder Go Mad In Japan” – which, as the title suggests, was filmed on tour in Japan in February 2006. Disc 1 contains a documentary of the trip, and Disc 2 features a full blown 2 hour show. Harry performed with Ian Gillan at the Teenage Cancer Trust show at). The campaign for the new LP is gathering pace, and full details of all their activities can be found as ever at.” Formed at the turn of 1989, Thunder have enjoyed an eventful career that has thankfully witnessed more highs than lows. The release of “Robert Johnson’s Tombstone” finds the quintet on a very remarkable high, and in a position where they are pretty much masters of their own destiny. Having known each other since they were 11 and been playing in bands together since they were 15, Danny and Luke knew exactly what they were going for when they began demo-ing tracks with Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor producing. With Harry James occupying the drum stool, bass player Mark “Snake” Luckhurst and guitarist/keyboardist Ben Matthews swiftly joined the trio, and by this time a record deal had been inked with EMI. Debuting in front of a mere 35 punters at a gig in Southend in July 1989, they did a handful of shows before the band entered the studio with Taylor and engineer Mike Fraser (Bryan Adams, Aerosmith etc) to cut their first magnificent offering in the shapely form of debut album 'Backstreet Symphony'. More touring followed, including two dates at the NEC in Birmingham opening for Aerosmith, and the band's fondness for the road would only increase their popularity. “In our previous band Terraplane,” notes Luke, “we never got any support from radio and TV and with Thunder we just assumed the worst. So”/Fraser produced second album, 'Laughing On Judgement Day' was released in August 1992 (held off the Number One spot in the UK's album chart only by a Kylie Minogue greatest hits package). However, the tour to support 'Laughing On Judgement Day' (which included headlining dates in the UK and a European tour supporting Extreme) proved a step too far for bassist Snake. He quit after Japanese dates.…. “I don't think we were particularly affected by Grunge in terms of musical influence,” reckons Luke. . The band's first official live album, 'Live', hit the stores in February 1998 and the quintet toured the UK once again, and doing another couple of bits for charity by abseiling off of the side of the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle for the British Lung Foundation (not Luke - he hates heights), and doing a freefall parachute jump (Danny & Ben). Thunder are, of course, no strangers to charity, having organised several highly publicised gigs in aid of CRISIS in the past. Surprisingly, eight months after the release of the next studio album, 'Giving The Game Away', in 1998, Thunder announced a split due to “outside business forces”, going out in typical style with a series of farewell shows, climaxing with two gigs at Dingwalls in Camden on May 4 and 5 2000. Danny “We’d been at it solidly for eleven years, we were still doing great touring business and we were solid as a unit, but we felt frustrated. There didn't seem to be any room for us to operate outside of our own fanbase.. “I'd had the idea of the 'Monsters Of Rock' tour and took the concept to Clear Channel. I convinced them it was a workable thing to do, thinking that my role would be behind the scenes, and just walking around telling people what to do! “But they felt Thunder should reform and be on the bill. ‘It would be great for ticket sales’, they said. settled on an EP to start with. When the news got out, we were offered record deals, but with the advances in technology and the internet,...” “The thing is, we never fell out, we’d all remained good friends,” continues Luke. 'Back For The Crack' EP sold incredibly well, as did the 'Shooting At The Sun' album. Amazingly the fans were still there and they’ve continued to grow throughout the campaign for 'The Magnificent Seventh', and all the touring we’ve done with it” Indeed. Onward and upward and there's clearly no chance of Thunder joining the derelict old barflies up on Boot Hill just yet! Luke “There was a period just after the whole Brit-Pop thing in the late 90s when we were truly out of sorts. But rock is back, and we're having a great time, and what’s even better, now we’re doing it all on our own terms.” Danny “There’s no doubt it’s very hard work doing this all ourselves, but the rewards are there with each record selling more than the last, so we can see the curve going upwards, and it's great not to have to deal with all the record label bullshit, now it’s my bullshit, and everyone else has to deal with it!” When was Thunder's new album “Robert Johnson’s Tombstone” released?</s> <|assistant|> Thunder's new album “Robert Johnson’s Tombstone” was released on 30th October.</s>

The whole JoinPad team has been involved in the event, taking full advantage of keynotes, panels and workshops from the most influent professionals of AR | VR | AI | Robotics scene, both italian and international. This posed as a great chance to look around and put the hands on the newest technologies and approaches, as the venue was full of companies and startups showcasing their products, both Software and Hardware. The affluence to the event was incredible, a lot of people flooded the hall costantly throughout all the duration of the event, there were mostly professional looking for solutions to innovate their business, as it was the event’s topic, but we also met tech-enthusiasts and developers among the crowd. The event was a success from all the points of view, and everyone who tried our products and demos was really impressed about how Augmented Reality technology can really simplify work operations like maintenance, training and remote support. Mauro Rubin describing the Future Smart Factory Among the vast number of speakers, Mauro Rubin, JoinPad CEO, went onstage to describe the Smart Factory of the Future, from the perspective of a company actively working to bring enterprises in the future through Augmented Reality. He described 2017 as the year of AR, pointing out that the innovation is coming by the application of this technology in the enterprise sector, where it can provide the most tangible added values. During the presentation Mauro explored the topic through a series of industrial use cases where Augmented Reality has been applied. Each use case explained a different approach to the implementation of AR into enterprise operations to help different industrial sectors leverage the potential of their workforce, enhancing the perception of employees in the work-field. This exploration covered a wide range of opportunities given by AR to enable the interaction between the user and his working environment, from the interaction with IoT connected machines to Artificial Intelligence and complex systems. This served as a starting point to understand how an AR platform can transform a normal factory into a Future Smart Factory. The italian and international AR/VR scene at Futureland At the show were present several companies, each one with a different focus but all aimed to create new business opportunities, from training VR applications to collaborative and smart Robotics. Looking from the inside we believe that the AR/VR/AI/Robotics ecosystem in Italy is still affirming, but we’re pleased to see that a lot of new players decided to become involved in this new fields. During the exhibition, JoinPad CTO, Giuseppe Audino, was called to join the jury of a Call for Ideas promoted by PwC Italy, the competition wasn’t focused only on Augmented Reality, but in all the four themes of the event. Lot of interesting projects from italian startups and independent developers were submitted to evaluation, but just five gained the opportunity to end up in front of the jury, that judged Metaliquid solution as the best project running for the contest. This was a good signal of how fast this ecosystem is evolving in our country, gaining everyday more popularity and widespread, with ever increasing attention from big companies that more now than ever recognize the value of new technologies and seek for new projects to foster under their wings. As an expert in Augmented Reality and Interaction Design, Agnese Ragucci, JoinPad designer&developer, described the trail of Augmented Reality Games in a timeline retracing their evolution through technologies, devices and examples. Starting from the early 00’s she narrated the history of this kind of games, focusing on the most important titles and the technology involved in their usage. She also described how certain strategies and techniques were employed to encourage the mass-adoption of AR technology, and then determined the success of some of the most played AR Games. The second part of the speech was dedicated to forecasts and insights about the future of both AR and Gaming, describing how they are evolving in parallel to deliver ever more immersive experiences to the player, using technologies as Context Computing, Artificial Intelligence and new devices available on the market. The speaking session received a lot of attention, especially because is a fact that gaming is one of the driver of AR massification. Partners, Meetups & Side Events Our business partner, Ginwa, joined the event as speaker. Ivan Cui, president of iGinwa, the technological division of the corporate, discussed about the AR/VR scene in the eastern market, exploring topics such as hardware production, startups and investments. He also pointed out that the ecosystem in China is in its early stage, encouraging western startups to jump in and blend with the local ecosystem of investors and accelerators. Peggy Yuan, Senior Investment and Program Manager of HTC Vive X Accelerator in Beijing, met the local VR and AR developers in a closed-door meetup, seeking for interesting startups to begin a conversation with, but also giving advices about the HTC acceleration program. She went in contact with several enterpreneurs and enthusiast, giving hints and insights about HTC latest products and platforms, and showcasing different startups under the Vive X Accelerator. As supporting partners we were in charge of different internal meetups and side events. Through the VR/AR Association (VRARA), Google Engineer Piotr Praczyk, from the ARCore development team, were invited for an in-depth analysis of Google newest AR technology, generating a lot of interest in the more technical audience of the event, with a lot of developers participating to test demos and ask questions to the professional. We also held a meetup with the VRARA to create a conversation among different Chapter Presidents, with Mauro Rubin representing the Milan’s Chapter of the Association, helping both newborn companies and well-established ones to understand the possibilities of the VRARA to leverage their businesses. At the Meetup there were present, beside Mauro, three other representatives of the association: Kris Kolo – VRARA Global Executive Director and NYC Chapter President, Miki Levy – Tel Aviv Chapter President and Thomas Fickert – Munich Chapter President.

Oh, not that fun spotlight like you see at the circus or at a play. This is a terrible light that rivals the intensity of a million suns. You’re tempted to drag stuff into that light that has been hidden for a lifetime. Take your shit to a flea market and sell it and hope like hell someone will actually buy it. TAURUS: Stop living in the past! It makes you a brooding mess and you stop caring about anything like basic hygiene or giving a shit about anyone but yourself. Think of this as an opportunity for completing something so you can move on. That is, unless the voices in your head say differently. GEMINI: The universe laughs at your puny, pathetic plans. It scoffs at your hypocritical nature. You think you’re all that AND a bag of chips, but really, you’re just a smashed quarter pounder in the gutter. Leave yourself lots of time to get anything done, as it’s not likely to go well, no matter what it is. For now. CANCER: Remember the last time you felt at peace? It’s probably a good thing that you don’t remember, because this week the shit’s going to hit the fan, both literally and figuratively. But you’re in your element and love hard work and determined effort. Let that passion fly! LEO: Your spirit animal this week is the Cowardly Lion. With all the crap headed directly for you, you’re going to whimper and cry and try to run away. Lucky for you that the Sun is traversing your sign, giving you a positive outlook and the ability to get through it. Try not to screw it up like you usually do. VIRGO: Your inner landscape closely resembles that of a planet pummeled by meteors. Find a quiet corner (or a padded room) and do some soul searching (considering you even have a soul). Do nothing but mope. You’ve earned it. LIBRA: Pay very close attention to where you’re stepping this week, both literally and figuratively. There is danger afoot. You’re going to be careless and irresponsible. Not because that’s who you are, but because there are nine planets in retrograde right now and they’re kicking your sorry ass. Be patient, grasshopper. SCORPIO: There is a black hole in your life that’s sucking your time, energy and will to live. It is probably related to a person or persons who’ve been causing you all kinds of grief. Forget about those sorry jerks and move on. You haven’t the time or the desire to deal with idiots. SAGITTARIUS: You’re about to do something so out of character, everyone will avoid you because you’ve been replaced by a pod person. Where you love the spotlight, this week it will not love you back, but will show every flaw and scar you’ve ever acquired. You’ll run from that light like it’s a bill collector. Tough it out. CAPRICORN: Good gawd, who died and made YOU King Midas. Money is a focus this week and will occur in every part of your world. Your social life is also kicking into gear. What gives? Just don’t let it all go to your head and spend your earnings foolishly. It’s a good time to be penny-wise, not compete in a popularity contest. AQUARIUS: It’s rare for you to feel this confident and full of piss and vinegar, yet here you are! Power is your middle name when it comes to career matters, especially if you’re called on to give a presentation. Just remember: the person who pays the piper, gets to call the tune. Use that power like the high-falutin’ bitch you are! PISCES: You’ve been hard at work earning spiritual strength lately, and now wonder if you’ve achieved that goal. Magic 8 Ball says: All signs point to yes. You’re moving into a wonderful time and will reap the rewards for all your effort. See? Good behavior DOES pay off! Just don’t get used to it. It can all change in an instant and probably will.

The computer virus, originating from the 1990s, is considered the first generation of cyber attacks. Although still persistent, many other forms have arisen since then, complexing the IT environment. Today, numerous ways exist to infect workstations as well as servers. This has commonly been done through spam. How do computer viruses work? A virus is a malicious code or software, malware, which replicates itself from computer to computer. The file or program originates from a host, but once it has gained access to your computer can replicate itself by inserting its own code. Who is vulnerable to computer virus attacks? Computer viruses persist, there is a notion that Windows are more attacked than other computer systems. Nowadays, they are more sophisticated but most often come through spam, which can be found everywhere online, for example in ads and popups. These viruses are very often efficiently spread through junk email. Everyone on the web is exposed. Why would someone computer virus attack? Computer viruses have very different functions, their intent may therefore differ. Viruses are however generally created to harm a computer system to some extent by destroying or corrupting data. Ransomware for example, is most often for economic purposes. Browser hijacking drives users to land on a changed malicious homepage. What can be done to prevent computer virus attacks? Educating employees is an essential proactive initiative. Informative seminars on the pitfalls, risks and costs associated with viruses, as well as a office policy regarding internet behaviour. But general notes to minimise exposure include: not to open attachments and files sent to you without scaring them first, not clicking pop-up ads and using a virus protection software. Syspeace Running an IT environment without computer virus protection is not recommended. Fortunately, there are numerous computer antivirus software available on the market, you can download antivirus software instantaneously online today. So, no need to worry. Antivirus software however only protects you against specific viruses. Syspeace is an effective and inexpensive complement to your other IT solutions as we can protect you against brute force attacks, an increasingly detrimental force online.

At Portland-based art school Art from the Heart, the process of creating art has become a way for developmentally disabled adults to build social skills while simultaneously learning ways to express themselves through a number of media. Established in 1990, Art from the Heart offers classes in a wide array of media - from painting and drawing to encaustics, ceramics, bookmaking, music, theater and beyond. The overarching goal of the organization is to provide developmentally disabled adults with a way to connect with one another as a community while also exploring their own creative spirits. The results, says program director Emily Conradson, are often a delightful surprise. 'I really am surprised with the quality, especially when they try new media,' says Conradson. 'It's so interesting and versatile. I'm surprised when people want to focus on drawing and painting, and then you give them a new media to work with and they love it.' Throughout September, two dozen pieces of artwork from Art from the Heart are on display at Hillsboro's Walters Cultural Arts Center. The exhibit marks the group's first show in the city. Through the program, students of Art from the Heart are exposed to multiple media and offered the chance to try their hands at many different styles. Unlike many art classes, however, Art from the Heart's focus on working together as a community helps its participants branch out into many different levels of expression, creating an environment where art becomes less a solitary endeavor and more a social event. 'A lot of artists do work in isolation, including me. But this is really a way to connect with other people and find the common point where they can work together,' Conradson said. 'The artists are creating in a social environment. People are proud of their artwork, and they want to share their work with other people. People definitely influence each other in terms of subject matter, and in trying things.' Conradson says the program also offers a unique challenge for the staff, which is tasked with fostering the sense of community while also urging its attendees to express complex ideas and emotions through art. With so many different personality types and levels of disability, she says it can sometimes be difficult to maintain focus. But once that focus is honed, she says, beautiful things result. 'We deal more with socialization, the day-to-day building of social skills,' says Conradson. 'We have 29-31 artists scheduled to attend every day, so that's a lot of personalities. Hopefully on top of (socializing) we can actually get together well enough where we can make some artwork. 'If we're going to be creating work in the same environment, then everybody needs to be OK with everybody before you can focus on what you're doing. The classes and the structure help with that goal.' At the end of the day, Conradson and her team are almost always able to help the students of the organization find themselves as artists. The proof of the program's success is literally on the walls of the school's in-house gallery, and in the halls of the Walters Center. 'It's all over the place,' says Conradson. 'Not everyone has the same interests and abilities. We try to keep it very broad so that people can try new things, and to keep it interesting for the staff so we get to play too and continue to help people grow as individual artists. Their work is just amazing.' - The Art from the Heart exhibit is on display through Sept. 28 at the Walters Cultural Arts Center, located at 527 E Main St. in Hillsboro.

<|system|> You are a friendly chatbot who always answer users question by looking into the provided context.</s> <|user|> Here is something I created with my Cricut Explore. This machine comes in handy for so many things. I was transporting 24 cupcakes to a family gathering. I came up with the idea of cutting some inserts to put in the box so my cupcakes didn't move around. As far as I know the largest cupcake box inserts only hold 4 cupcakes, and with the measurement of the box I figured I could make one for six out of a 12x12 sheet of paper. I opened a cupcake box image, measured my box and got to work. Here is what I ended up with. Since I had the inserts I thought why not design a box for them. I make cupcakes for my friends when we meet for lunch. There are only 4-6 of us, so I wanted a way to carry 6 cupcakes at a time. After several tries, I think I created a file that works well and will hold up. I don't have any 24" card stock so I had to make a design in pieces. Here is my finished box, it measures 6.5Wx9.75Lx2.75D. I had to create panels, to add to each end. You can see in the pictures below how they are constructed. Here is what my file looks like. I made different types of end panels. The end panels A are used with your corner trims, and End Panel B, will fold around your corners. All of the images were created from Free images available in Design Space. To construct, cut out the bottom and fold all four sides, the short flap on the ends will be on the outside, and the two flaps on each side will be on the inside. You will then cover this end with the end panel of your choice, either A or B, my box shows using A. Then cut out your end panels and corners of your choice. I purposely made these about 1/4" taller than the box sides. This is to allow for the icing that is piped on your cupcakes. If you don't have the icing this tall, you can trim down to match the sides. Attach the corners of your choice. Cut out the top and assemble, the notched flaps go to the inside. If you choose to add an overlay, use one I have in the file or make one yourself. The oval cut out is about 3.75" (W) x 6.5" (H). There is a free oval available you can resize and slice as desired. I am offering this file to all of my CTMH customers, place any size order with me this month and I will share this file with you. This offer ends October 31, 2015. All of the images were free, so no subscription or particular cartridge is required. This file was created in Cricut Design Space and will only work with a Cricut Explore. If you have any other machine, I would be happy to share my dimensions with you so that you can create your own file, also with any size purchase through October 31, 2015. Be sure to include your email during the order process, I will be able to send you your file. If you don't here from me, use the contact form here and send me another message.

A present universal miracle in this Triunity of ours called Time Is the Alpha and the Omega inherent in God's Triune, Creative Mind Omnipotent always..Omniscient always..And omnipresent, ever God simply Wills with incomprehensible power; merges Reality with Heaven As the True cause of all that matters in our Forever. God created an Exactness of Himself; challenged humankind to understand How a Man of God, though of virgin birth, could also be the Son of man But so God was and, as Jesus Christ, His miracles were So Right That He could say; some say He did, 'I Am the Way! I Am the Truth! I am the Life! No one can come unto the Father but through me, the Son.'

One message in the Bible clearly identifies Triunity as the Unifying force that positions humankind to Eternity It lets the Physical Universe unveiled through humankind's use of mind Portray the Energy of God as the reality of--All space; All matter; All time; With Energy's potential motion--Space; it's actual motion--Matter; and it's successiveness as Time, always, interacting In the direct image of Triunity: The Cause, the Three-In-One. This cause of Triunity--God: Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent Wills Space or the outspreading or Primal Power, into dimensions of Forever This potential motion of energy--Space; generates actual motion of energy--Matter which, when combined, produces Time; the successiveness resulting as the latter; Traverses Space, to return to the Eternal Mind of the Creator.

This poem, Could it be the greatest ever written? says perfectly: Perfection is a fact. It is of God! It is His very Own! He can Only loan some back To those crying: 'God is Perfection!' It was foretold, absolutely, by His Son Who took mankind's sins to the grave with Him through God's Love; thus the Three-In-One: Defined Heaven, via Reality, through God's Own Self-His Son.

I am not here...(Meaning: I am present in God's Eternal Stream of Consciousness) I am, however,...wherever your thoughts are.

For members of the world’s elite Special Operations, you’ve only got one shot to get in, kill, and get back out again. While real-world soldiers only have that one shot, we video gaming fare are given a few more chances to get things right in Breach and Clear, a port of the popular iOS close-quarters combat simulator for the PlayStation Vita. Breach and Clear gives gamers a taste of slow-moving, steady close-quarter combat situations through strategic gameplay and excellent execution of level design and enemy placement. Breach and Clear sets you in charge of a four-man elite special ops team tasked with various close-quarter missions of sweeping and killing, bomb defusal, and self-extraction. You choose a unit type, such as the Army Special Forces, the Navy Seals, or the Spetznaz, and each one gives you a special bump in an ability such as accuracy, speed, or health. The game then has you create avatars and names for your four special ops soldiers, and the soldiers are outfitted with a vest, gun, and some clothing. Earning money will allow you to purchase add-ons and new equipment for your soldier and his weapon. Squads are teams of four, made up of six different job types. Each of these breakdown a lot like typical RPG classes. There is a “Fireteam Leader” who absorbs aggro and damage like a tank, and a “Weapons Sergeant” who is very powerful with a gun but less damage insulated, much like a fighter, paladin, or warrior class. You have the choice of a healer in the form of the “Medic” and a rouge in the form of “Intelligence”, as well as a few more military-focused classes with the explosives-minded “breacher” and the rapid shooting “Direct Action” jobs. Each class has a starting perk, and gains a new special ability every 5 levels. The gameplay of Breach and Clear is a stripped down, bare-bones mirror of a strategic RPG. Gone is the elements of story, dialogue, a world map, and other more traditional RPG qualities. Breach and Clear, in good standing with a militaristic standard, is completely absent of anything that isn’t constructive for battle or a battle itself. You are given menus where you can buy and sell items, modify your character’s look and weaponry, and choose between squads. Outside of that, there is no other function of the game but battle. Battle, though, is the whole reason we are here, and Breach and Clear does an excellent job of executing this vital function. You are given anywhere from 1-4 choices for a starting point. You are able to see the physical qualities of the structure you are entering, such as doors, desks, tables, and other items within. You cannot see enemy placement unless they are directly visible from your vantage point, or by the merits of special intelligence provided by one of your team members. The object of the game, depending on game mode, is almost always kill until there isn’t much killing left to do. In bomb defusal, you’re tasked with finding and deactivating a bomb as terrorists close on your location, and in the Escape Plan game mode, you are located within the building and must get out. The main game mode, and the one that is best designed and implemented is standard sweep-and-kill missions where you locate and eliminate every enemy on the map. The game has a pretty nice design throughout. The levels are excellently designed in terms of flow and playability, and also have a good look and feel in terms of graphics. The menus all look fine, the character design is acceptable and allows for customization, and the weapons themselves are customizable with special functions and color choices. The only real drag of the game is in the menus themselves. Navigating them can be a real chore, as the menus tend to lag, and are stacked within themselves poorly. The problem is light, but it takes more getting used to than the rest of the game, a true flaw hidden in an otherwise solid game. While Breach and Clear doesn’t really boast some special, amazing feature or function that makes the game great, it doesn’t really suffer from any issues either. It plays very smooth and steady, with little problems or mishaps. What are the different job types available in the game Breach and Clear?</s> <|assistant|> The game Breach and Clear offers six different job types for the squads. These include a "Fireteam Leader" who absorbs aggro and damage, a "Weapons Sergeant" who is powerful with a gun but less damage insulated, a "Medic" who acts as a healer, an "Intelligence" who acts as a rogue, a "Breacher" who is focused on explosives, and a "Direct Action" job that involves rapid shooting. Each class has a starting perk and gains a new special ability every 5 levels.</s>

When 2012 started, the program’s Facebook page had 113 subscriptions (“likes” in Facebook lingo). As of the end of June, “likes” have surged to 13,000, thanks to the program’s online interaction with beneficiaries. The first step to Program Communications Manager Carlos Marroquin’s proactive social media strategy was making content more atractive and useful. The previously text-heavy layout is livened up with video testimonials and photo collages of participants, as well as interviewing and résumé-preparing tips for job seekers. To get the word out about this resource, the project made a small financial commitment of $10 a day to run ads within Facebook and attract attention to the page. The project’s Facebook page now houses free announcements of upcoming job and professional development opportunities to draw in potential project participants. Three to four times a month, the project hosts open audition-style gatherings where people can enter free pre-training programs to build their “soft,” personal communications skills, after which they are invited to interview with a designated employer. On average, 25 people attend each gathering—six of whom learned about it on Facebook. Marroquin calls the platform his “main information and summoning tool.” The page is also helping the project cement relationships with organizations like the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of El Salvador and the Development Bank of El Salvador, which forward its postings to their own subscribers. Individuals do the same; for example, 18 people shared the announcement of Walmart’s career fair with their own networks, widening outreach exponentially. Hear Alexander’s story (in Spanish) of how the USAID program’s use of social media helped him find employment at Pollo Campero, a popular fast-food chain. Project Director Beto Brunn says the page allows them to more directly inform youth—especially those at-risk—about employment opportunities: “We need to give them hope, and the new media allows those we are benefitting to share their stories. The general message is that there are good options that can help high school graduates with few prospects for university find work and a meaning for their lives.” Brunn added that the page is also helping break down employer myths. “In San Miguel, for instance, the business consensus is that youths don’t want to work because they are receiving remittances,” he says. The program organized a recruiting event to find cell phone salespeople, advertised through a Facebook post seen by 3,800 people across the nation. “We hoped perhaps 40 youths would come; 76 actually arrived—to the amazement of everyone. We had to move into the backyard.” The USAID Program to Improve Access to Employment strengthens El Salvador’s workforce by developing the skills the labor market demands, particularly for youth and marginalized populations. Before engaging the public in an open conversation about the project, USAID’s program tested the waters of social media with Joven360, an online platform it developed to help undergraduate youth obtain their first professional experience through posted internships and job applications. USAID’s Program to Improve Access to Employment is now experimenting with Twitter (@AccesoEmpleo) where it already has almost 250 followers.

We made a lovely plan for the day with Dorota and then had to change it all when I remembered that the Sainsburys shopping is coming at 7pm. Oh dear! And so anyway, our day went like this … About 9.30am the doctor came round. Basically everything is staying the same! William has gained 20g and now weighs 1635g or 3lb 9oz. His milk intake will remain 24mls every 2 hours. He has vitamin supplements, iron, caffeine, sodium and phosphate. He is staying on 6 hours off CPAP, all being well! Esther has gained 50g today and weighs 1310g. 2lb 14oz. So close to 3lbs! She will continue on 9mls of milk hourly and have 4 hours off CPAP. She is on the same minerals and supplements as William. After the doctors’ round I changed William’s nappy and took off his sleepsuit that had poo on it! I left him naked so that we could have some ‘kangaroo care’ before I do his ‘all cares’ at 12.00pm. When William was settled I did Esther’s cares. Louise showed me how to change her on her side so that she does not get so distressed and short of oxygen. At 11am I had William out for a cuddle for 50 minutes before he came off his CPAP. We snuggled kangaroo style and sang nursery rhymes. It was lovely! At 12.00 I did all his cares while he was off CPAP. He was very awake, alert and adorable! It was great! I talked to him as I changed his nappy, washed him, dried him and put him in a clean sleepsuit. Then he had his milk with vitamins and promptly threw up on his clean, white sleepsuit! Ooopsy! I did some milk just before 1pm and then walked to Tesco to buy some lunch. I came back a bit after 2 and both babies seemed to be finding their time off quite hard with lots of desaturations. Esther is in 29% ambient oxygen and William 27. Hopefully David will be here at 5pm to have a cuddle with Esther, then we can do their cares at 6pm and then go home. I feel so tired today! Esther is tired today too. Towards the end of her 4 hours she started to really struggle. She had hiccups and was forgetting to breathe. Poor little Star! I changed her nappy at 3.30pm which calmed her down a bit before she went back on her CPAP at 4pm. Dorota gave me a book today about preterm baby development. “A Guide to Infant Development in the Newborn Nursery”. These are the things I have noted down. About half of infants born extremely prematurely (before 28 weeks gestation) will need some form of specialist help when they start school. About 10% will have significant disability e.g. cerebral palsy “The infant comes into the world bringing formidable capapbilities to establish human relatedness. Immediately he is a partner in shaping his first and foremost relationships.” Daniel Stern 31-33 weeks – likes to be held close to parents, likes to be held with long periods of skin to skin holding. Close contact with parents is important. Adapt cares in response to baby’s behaviour rather than just by the clock. Daily kangaroo care. Place close to breast during feeds. At 5pm David arrived for his cuddle with Esther whilst I read William a story. Tomorrow we will swap who has time with who and hopefully we will be able to have them both out together. What are the weights of William and Esther as mentioned in the context?</s> <|assistant|> William weighs 1635g or 3lb 9oz and Esther weighs 1310g or 2lb 14oz.</s>

I used to be a make-up snob. Then I quit my teaching job to stay at home with the kids. For a while I simply didn't wear make- up because I was in sweats and shirts with crusty baby spit up for about 5 years straight. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating. Maybe not. Recently, I read in a magazine that this mascara is a must have. And I must tell you that it most certainly is a must have. I love it! So the last book I read was a biography about the deadliest climbing year on Everest. Fascinating? Yes. Morbid? A bit. I'm sooo super duper thrilled to start this book tonight. Plus, I got it on sale...woo hoo!!!! Ever have a friend walk across the school parking lot with a brown bagged bottle of wine? Me neither. Until today. My hilarious friend, Lisa, thought this was all too appropriate for me. Hmmm...maybe a subliminal hint??? And now that my youngest is 3, I'm seeing the light, friends. Yes, I'm seeing the light. It looks good. Suddenly, I have a new interest in looking fashionable again. Since ray ban aviators have been on the trend list for a bit, I thought I pick them up on a budget price. ray bans: $189 I bought mine at my most despised store. Any guesses??? It starts with W and ends in T. I'm cool with it because I look trendy for $5. Catch me trying to pose a la "Mad Housewife"? Peace out, peeps.

Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Project official site just updated today with the news that the new anime is slated for a worldwide release July 2014! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! . Where do I even start with everything that I loved about this series? I loved that Serena (Usagi) wasn't like most heroines you see today.. Tuxedo Mask was my first fictional crush.. The music!. It partially inspired Marissa Meyer's The Lunar Chronicles. This didn't necessarily make me love Sailor Moon more, but it certainly sealed my love The Lunar Chronicles. I'm kind of worried that I'll be disappointed by the new reboot. Maybe my love for the series is nothing but nostalgia. Maybe they'll change too much of the plot for me to enjoy it. Maybe they'll delay the release again. I'm crossing my fingers that none of that will happen. I love Sailor Moons!! I have re-watched that show over and over countless times. I'm so glad they are releasing new ones and I can't wait to see what has happened to all of their lives!! JULY <3 Excellent news!!! Thank you so much for posting this, I can't wait for July :)) This was my favorite show as a child and my heart still beats little faster whenever I think about Tuxedo Mask. Ah, memories...

<|system|> You are a friendly chatbot who always answer users question by looking into the provided context.</s> <|user|> This blog originally appeared on the She Takes on the World website – an awesome resource for passionate and entrepreneurial women! In part 1 of my 2-part series on successful launch planning, we discussed the six key things to keep in mind when planning your launch year. In this installment, I am going to take you through the different types of launch frameworks, when to use them, and how to create your launch calendar. So what are your main options when it comes to planning your launch calendar? Typical launch frameworks: - Once a year (annual) — One very big pre-launch and launch process with enrollment once-a-year only. The benefits of this framework are high urgency and exclusivity. However, this approach is not so great when you are starting out and your reach is limited. This framework works well for high-end mastermind programs and ePrograms once they have become highly sought-after and well known, such as Natalie’s Conquer Club. - Twice a year (biannual) — Twice a year is a good strategy once you have gained momentum, have a proven program, and are doing reasonable-sized launches. It is also suitable if your eProgram duration is in on the longer end of the spectrum, such as 10-12 weeks, as it allows adequate time for planning and review and a proper launch process. - Three times a year — This is a good strategy for a 6-8 week program. Running your program this regularly helps to build momentum over time without being flat out busy all year. You should see significant growth in enrollments over 12 months when running your eProgram this regularly; in fact, it’s what I recommend for the majority of my clients when they are starting out. - Four times a year (Quarterly) — A quarterly approach is best for shorter ePrograms (around 4-6 weeks) and often suits moms in business who run their ePrograms during each school term or people whose ideal clients are moms. It does mean you are launching or running your program for almost the entire year and does not leave much time for reviewing and implementing improvements (or time off). I find that most clients who take this approach do it for around 12 months and then move to a less regular launch framework or set their program up as evergreen. - Evergreen — Otherwise known as “enroll anytime,” your program is available throughout the year for purchase. However, this does not mean that you don’t need a launch calendar! Under this model you’ll need to have strategically planned promotions during the year such as a Christmas or New Year’s sale, price increase sale, Black Friday Sale (in the US), or other promotions relevant to your ideal customer and niche to drive sales. So how should you actually plan your launch year? - First, work through the questions that I laid out in part 1 of this series to get clear on the best times of year for you and your ideal clients. - Second, review the launch frameworks above and decide how often you will launch. - Now purchase a big calendar such this wall planner from Kikki-K. - On the calendar, block out all your planned holidays using highlighters, whiteboard pens, or even colored sticky notes (use something that you can change easily as you will want to play around with dates). - Next block out any time that is crazy-busy in your business such as tax time, seasonal peaks, or times of business travel and events. - If you have kids and school holidays are an issue, block out these dates next. - Then think about your ideal client and any time that is likely to be a bad time of year to launch or run your eProgram and consider blocking out these dates. ***By this stage, looking at your calendar you should give you a good sense of when your best times of year are to launch and run your eProgram.*** - Now plot out your live eProgram dates based on the launch framework you have chosen. - Make sure you have allowed time before each program for your pre-launch and launch process (ideally 3-6 weeks). - Try to allow time between each round to rest, review, plan, and implement improvements. - Try to not have pre-launch & launch and program dates overlap (for example, promoting an eProgram while you have another running) as it’s best to be 100% focused on either promoting OR running your eProgram. Don’t be surprised if it takes you a number of goes to decide on your final launch calendar. It will likely take some refining to find something you can live with. It is also likely that it won’t be perfect. The aim is to plan out the best launch calendar possible to achieve your business goals, your desired lifestyle, your other commitments and your ideal client.

In light of these demands, Cambridgeshire-based TTP Labtech (part of The Technology Partnership Group) has developed a sophisticated new machine that dramatically speeds the testing process. The TTP machine consists of two parts: 'comPound', a storage and retrieval unit, and 'comPiler', a modular unit that prepares chemicals for test. Both machines have been developed with the help of Lenze - providing TTP Labtech with motion control expertise. The comPound machine is a library of chemical compounds held in small phials known as 'tubes'. Further reading Servomotors gain UL approval Lenze's synchronous and asynchronous servomotors now fulfil the stringent fire and personal safety conditions required for export to the USA. Compact servomotors takes drives onboard A new range of small servomotors with integrated servo drives has been launched by Lenze. No maintenance for brushless servomotors The new MCA range of brushless maintenance-free servomotors comprises 19 models across frame size 56 to 112, with a choice between natural ventilation and forced cooling. Up to 100,000 tubes can be stored in one machine, with a positive pressure nitrogen environment and at a constant temperature of -20C. The design requirements were to achieve retrieval of any tube inside a target time of four seconds, although with the help of software that optimises the retrieval sequence, faster times can be achieved. The Design and Development Engineer on the comPound project, Simon Tullett, comments: "We identified a market requirement for a fast storage and retrieval machine, and set out to achieve a design that will meet customer requirements even in five and 10 years time.,... The development process required us to innovate in areas such as the drives, which had to be optimised for speed, accuracy, space and low weight. Lenze worked with us as a partner for over 18 months, bringing in both new products and new ideas". The heart of the comPound machine is a stack of 26 carousels, each a precision plastic casting holding over 3800 of the tubes. Two Lenze servo motors are used to rotate the carousels into the required position, each motor driving 13 carousels. The carousels are free to turn on the central axis, driven on their outside diameter by a double-sided tooth belt. Requirements for positional accuracy meant the backlash in the drive had to be minimised. Lenze also supplied bevel gearboxes with a reduced backlash of five arc minutes fitted to each of the servomotors, and connection from the drive shaft to each of the carousels is achieved through Lenze pole face clutches. In addition, a Lenze spring-applied brake provides a holding torque to keep the carousel in its driven position. While Lenze supplied all the comPound drive equipment, there was no single source deal; instead products were selected on their own merits. For example, Lenze addressed the problem of mounting 13 clutches onto a 2m long shaft driven by each servomotor. Shaft rigidity was important for accuracy as was compact dimensions and weight, to keep down the floor loading. The solution was a 20mm plain shaft with keyless connection to the clutch using ETP locking bushes. The result is backlash free and avoids high shaft stresses, allowing the shaft diameter to be kept to a minimum. Lenze produced a special clutch to suit the friction connection of the ETP bush. The two servomotors are driven by Lenze 9321 drives with built-in positioning software. These were chosen because of integrated CAN fieldbus and the accuracy of positioning. The comPound machine is controlled from a PC and CAN is used to communicate with the drives, with I/O and control cards developed by TTP Labtech. Having the positioning software in the drive allows decentralised control, offering the benefits of reduced communication traffic, reduced PC processing, and less programming time. Support provided by Lenze included a three-day training course on the software, supplied as a free option to servo customers. Finally, the drives were supplied without heat sinks to save panel space, with the cooling requirements being met by the thermal mass of the mounting surface. During operation, tubes are identified from a database and addressed as if on a computer hard disk. The clutch on the corresponding carousel is engaged and the brake released, followed by the servo system indexing it round to exactly the position where the tube can be unloaded. By driving the edge of the carousel, accuracy better than 2arc-min is achieved. The tube is then picked out and delivered automatically to an x-y table on the comPiler machine. After a tiny quantity of chemical has been taken from the tube, the process is reversed and the tube is returned to its position in the comPound carousel. Up to 12 comPound machines can be networked to form a library of 1.2 million chemical compounds. TTP Labtech is leading the world with this machinery, allowing pharmaceutical companies to automate and vastly increase the speed of drug development. The machines have recently been exhibited in Vancouver and New Jersey, and six comPounds have already been delivered to the US. The success of comPound and comPiler can be attributed to the high level of co-operation between the machine maker, TTP Labtech, and the drive supplier, Lenze.

One of the books I picked up was Margarita Engle’s Tropical Secrets. I wasn’t sure what it was about, I picked up because of the author who Myra has gushed about quite a few times and who we had a pleasure of featuring this year on our site. When I finally found a reason to pick it up recently—we were not making any progress in our Novel in Verse challenge—I discovered it was about Holocaust Refugees, I cringed. I try as much as possible to stay away from literature related to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust because I’m often left with nightmares and a depression I can’t shake off. While I enjoyed for instance reading Zusak’s The Book Thief, it was constantly heart wrenching and I needed to follow it with a number of light reading to get myself out of the gloom pool. I knew that reading Tropical Secrets was going to be tough on me, add the fact this was my first Novel in Verse I wasn’t sure what the experience would be like. If I were to describe my experience in one word it would be crescendo which is defined as a gradual increase in volume. Tropical Secrets began slowly and built its way up in the emotional scale of things. Finding Power The two children in this novel, Daniel the German Jew and Paloma the Cuban girl are both helpless in the situation they find themselves in. The reader watches them doing what they can with whatever is given. Daniel, a German boy separated from his parents is in a strange land. He knows no one, he understands no one and we watch him hold on to his winter coat in the Cuban heat. In his powerlessness, he holds to his dreams of meeting his parents in New York in the near future. Similarly, Paloma is powerless in the greater scheme of things, watching her father extort money from the refugees for their safety. Holding this little secret to heart, she compensates in the way she can by helping refugees, caring for them and giving them food to eat. Throughout the story I watch these two children struggle with an issue greater than me. They grasp at straws at making sense of their lives amidst the Holocaust. But Engle doesn’t allow her characters and reader to simply struggle and sulk at the fact that they are powerless. She introduces to us a kind of power that is brought out of compassion, of helping someone else. And we watch the children hang on to this idea, a seemingly impossible idea of helping two people and we watch them triumph. In many ways, as I’ve said, Tropical Secrets is written to a crescendo and in many ways we watch both children gain some kind of power—the kind that lasts as it is built from within. Decimar Decimar—the art of inventing life as it goes along. This word caught my eye and so did Daniel’s. I feel this is the apt word to describe how refugees try to survive in Cuba. David, the Russian refugee who now sells ice cream invents life as he goes along. We watch Daniel do the same, as he slowly takes out his coat, wear clothes made of cotton and eat Cuban cuisine. We see this as he gravitates towards the unknown music of the Cubans and learn to play their tropical sound. I can only imagine that in order to live a new life in a strange land, one must embrace Decimar and invent life as it goes along, after all the life one knew could no longer be returned. Beyond Belief The premise behind universal responsibility is the simple fact that we all want the same thing. Every being wants happiness and does not want suffering. If we do not respect this fact, there will be more and more suffering on this planet. – Dalai Lama, How to See Yourself as You Really Are. I’m currently reading the above mentioned book and this quote was something that kept coming back when I was writing this review. Because they were Jews, many innocent human beings were uprooted, tortured and killed. We find Daniel, a young Jew uprooted to Cuba without a home or family to hold on to. Yet, at the same time, this persecuted boy finds in his heart an understanding towards the meaning of innocence. He witnesses that it is not just the Jews that can be uprooted, tortured and killed. He realizes that nothing is more dangerous than our spiritual beliefs. He realizes this as he helps a Christian man and a Jewish woman escape the recent investigation on German spies, wherein the hunt for such spies is solely based on being a Christian German. What Nazi Germany could not do for him, Daniel could do to this one German Christian man married to a Jewish German woman. He finds compassion in his heart and looks beyond each other’s belief. Hollow bone are the magic That helps a bird fly. Hope is the mystery That keeps me alive. Kindness is the surprise That makes me hopeful. Love is the kindness That keeps Miriam and Mark Together. We will help them. We will try. I ask then, how can a boy who has been in a situation like his, find it in his heart to treat another with compassion. I can only surmise that when there is true understanding of love, compassion comes easy no matter how seemingly easy it is to wash our hands and preserve ourselves. I am glad the story ended with a hopeful note. I don’t like reading about the Holocaust because it tells me how man can forget basic human truths for the sake of ideology. Tropical Secret is a novel that allows its reader to expand their minds about this part of human history. While it tackles the Holocaust, its effect, it also evens out the playing field and makes us realize how in these tragic stories of human history are stories of love and compassion and a promise of life despite suffering. There is more that could be written about this book, but I find, overwhelmed as it is by the story, I only touched on the things that I felt was screaming to be written. For other books written by Margarita Engle, you can check Myra’s review of the author’s Surrender Tree and Firefly Letters and Fats’ review of The Poet Slave of Cuba.

<|system|> You are a friendly chatbot who always answer users question by looking into the provided context.</s> <|user|> All across time, there have been epic battles. David vs Goliath, Intel vs Motorola, RAW vs JPEG. And of course, film vs digital. Everybody has opinions on this, so why should I be any different. I took pictures on film for about 20 years before I had my first taste of the art of photography. I shot on film with a Nikon F90X and two lenses: a 24-120 and a 70-300. This past October, I bought a Nikon D80. I really wanted the D200, but since the image sensors are the same and both will be obsolete in three years or so anyway, I put money I saved towards the fantastic Nikkor 18-200 VR lens. My very first (non-test) photo was of my son eating a snack. With no flash, the D80 went up to ISO1600 with f3.5 and the result was a surprisingly great picture. There is little noise, excellent exposure, and amazing clarity. I couldn’t have done this with my standard (for indoor) Fuji400 film. All hail digital! Right? Not so fast… I then took the D80 up to a “lookout” point to capture a sunset. It took great pictures, but either the sky was blown-out or the landscape was too dark. I could lighten it with Gimp or Photoshop, but it was already ISO800 and the noise didn’t look so good. I’d never had that trouble with film. Why? Because film over-exposes better than a digital sensor. As it approaches maximum exposure, film begins to slow down. It effectively compresses a large exposure range in to the top end, and does it gently so that colors just desaturate (become less vivid but retain the same hue) to white. This is usually referred to as the “shoulder” of film. Digital sensors, on the other hand, are linear. They just sit there counting photons (”light bullets”) up to their maximum value at which point they stop. That’s pure white or worse. I say “worse” because red, green, and blue are “counted” separately; a colored source will saturate one of the color chanels first while the others continue to increase. That creates wierd color bands around the overexposed object. Take a look at the following example. It’s a gradient of 2R+1G+0B counting from 0 to 100 and limited to a value of 100 per channel (just like a digital sensor). Note how it’s a nice smooth increase of the same hue until the mid-point, at which time red clips to the maximum value. For the right half, red is now fixed at 100 but green continues to increase, changing the color to magenta (or 1R+1G+0B equivalent). Film also captures all three colors at every point. Digital sensors (all but Fovian, anyway) capture only one color at each point and then interpolate between them to create a proper RGB image. Film will therefore be sharper than digital if converted at the same number of megapixels. Exactly how many megapixels you can get from a film scan depends on the film being used, but 4000dpi (24 megapixel for 35mm film) is about the theoretical limit. Despite this huge descrepency between film (24MPx3) and digital (10MPx1), for practical purposes the 10MP digital sensors of today are about comparable to common, non-professional film for resolution in the final image. Many lenses cannot resolve finer than this. Another advantage of film is that it only costs 10x as much to create a negative 10x the size. Increasing today’s digital sensor to 10x the physical size might cost 1000x as much to create, if you could do it at all. That’s why you can find 4×5 inch film cameras but no corresponding digital ones. It’s also why most DSLRs use smaller APS-C size sensors. If you want extreme resolution for billboards or super-sharp, poster-size prints from a single frame, you need big film. What does all this mean? Over the past months, my basic discovery of digital vs film is this: It’s easier to capture a good image with digital, but you can get a better capture with film. Which is more important to you? Me, I’ll stick with my D80 for now and hopefully one day get around to playing with a 4×5 view camera. 0 Responses to “The Generation Gap” What are some differences between film and digital photography according to the author's experience?</s> <|assistant|> The author notes that digital photography is easier to capture a good image with, but film can provide a better capture.

ICE agents conducted a massive raid in Texas and arrested 153 illegal immigrants. This was part of a standard enforcement operation that targeted illegal immigrant criminals. It was a 12-day operation that spanned from March 20 to the 31st. The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents successfully arrested the large group who were mostly criminals who entered the country illegally through Mexico, were deported, and re-entered. What most democrats aren’t telling people is that ICE’s primary target is the convicted illegal aliens who have criminal records or are fugitives running from the law. Another staggering number that liberals won’t want you to know is that many of the immigrants arrested had criminal records that included violent crimes. There’s a huge difference between someone who sells drugs once in a while compared to someone who has a history of violently attacking people. Both are bad in the own ways, but people do drugs by choice, they don’t get attacked by choice. Some of the crimes committed by the illegal immigrants are quite startling and not exactly the people you would want living next door to your children. “ICE’s primary immigration enforcement efforts target convicted criminal aliens,” Daniel Bible, field office director for ERO in San Antonio, said in a statement. “Consequently, our operations improve overall public safety by removing these criminals from our streets, and ultimately from our country.” The most arrests – 62 people – were made in San Antonio, Texas. Another 24 men and women were arrested in Austin, 29 in Laredo and 38 in Harlingen, located in the Rio Grande Valley. Of the more than 150 people taken into custody, 138 were men and 15 were women. Approximately 137 of the total number had criminal histories that included convictions of aggravated assault with a weapon, aggravated assault of a child, driving under the influence, sexual assault, burglary, robbery, resisting officer, vehicular manslaughter, alien smuggling, domestic violence and drug possession. Reports state that over 90 percent of the illegal immigrants arrested were from Mexico. Several others were from Honduras, Guatamala, Canada, and El Salvador. President Trump has given ICE the ability to successfully do their job and it has irritated people. Many people forget that former President Obama has deported mass amounts of people, more than many other Presidents. Democrats didn’t seem to give Obama as much criticism as they are Trump. Obama’s nickname was the “deporter in chief” if that tells you anything about his historic deportation skills. We have four to eight years of ICE cleaning things up for a safer America. Most people don’t care about illegal immigrants who don’t break the law. The reason is because those immigrants are probably good people. It’s the criminals that everyone should be worried about. America has enough of it’s own criminals, so we should not be asked or expected to willfully harbor the criminals who come from other countries. That’s not our job. ICE targets criminally active immigrants in hopes to provide a safer country for Americans. Liberals don’t seem to care about safety, which is apparent in their lust for letting every Tom, Dick, and Harry enter the country without vetting or passing immigration protocol. Or should I call that, Tomas, Ricardo, y el Quique.

(AP) — The celebration in the Trail Blazers’ locker room after making the playoffs for the fifth straight season was one of relief more than excitement. First goal accomplished. Now Portland heads out on the road with more work to do. .” CJ McCollum added 20 points and another nine assists for Portland, which is still holding on to third place in the Western Conference with five games remaining. The Blazers, who have won four of their last five, embark on a four-game trip starting Tuesday night in Dallas. Rookie Dillon Brooks had 28 points for Memphis, which sits second-to-last in the West. Brooks was one point shy of his season high. “Yeah, my teammates wanted me to get it,” said Brooks, who played at Oregon. “That was on me, I missed two open layups.” Portland led 103-80 in the fourth quarter, but the Grizzlies went on a 13-0 run capped by Brooks’ jumper with 4:19 left, pulling within 10. That led Stotts to re-insert his starters. Marquis Teague’s basket got Memphis within eight points, but the Blazers took over with back-to-back 3-pointers from Evan Turner and Al-Farouq Aminu to extend Portland’s lead to 113-95 with 1:12 left. That sent the starters back to the Blazers’ bench for good. Marc Gasol started for the Grizzlies, but his minutes were limited because of a left groin injury. He finished with seven points and five rebounds in 20 minutes. MarShon Brooks, who had 21 points against the Blazers in a 108-103 victory in Memphis on Wednesday, was out with a left ankle injury. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff also sat JaMychal Green (knee soreness), Candler Parsons (rest) and Andrew Harrison, who missed this third game with a right wrist/left shoulder injury. Portland’s loss to the Grizzlies earlier this week spoiled a three-game road trip. But the Blazers were without Lillard, who didn’t play because he was back in Portland awaiting the birth of his son. Damian Lillard Jr. was born Thursday morning. The Blazers were without backup center Ed Davis, who rolled his ankle during the Blazers’ 105-96 victory over the Clippers on Friday night. Portland said X-rays and an MRI on the ankle were both negative. Davis is expected to miss up to 14 days. The Blazers led by 15 points in the first quarter, but Memphis closed the gap in the second. Ben McLemore hit a jumper to get the Grizzlies to 48-47, then had a layup for the lead. Portland wrestled it back and went into halftime up 55-51. Lillard led all scorers with 13 points in the first two quarters. McCollum’s 3-pointer stretched the Blazers’ lead to 72-61 midway through the third, and his dunk later made it 79-63. Portland led 98-75 going into the final quarter, and Portland’s starters, with the exception of McCollum, went to the bench. “For our guys to come back, cut the lead and force them to have to bring their starters back into the game, talks about the character of our guys and that young group. They didn’t lay down, they continued to fight, I think that’s where you start,” Bickerstaff said. “When you’re trying to build a program and move forward, you need competitive guys and I think we’re starting on the right track.” TIP INS: Grizzlies: Tyreke Evans was not with the team in Portland because of personal reasons. … Brooks was greeted with warm applause during player introductions. “This is a great state. Greats fans, people. They cheer for their Trail Blazers and they cheer for their Ducks. Feels great,” he said afterward. Trail Blazers: Portland’s 43 third-quarter points tied the season high for points in a quarter. … Turner and Aminu each had 14 points. This article brought to you by the Associated Press.

They also used the money to pay off old customers who falsely believed they were seeing returns on their investments. See also: St. Louis Funeral Scam: Father, Son Plead Guilty In $600 Million Ponzi Scheme Palmer and Driver, who ran Princeton Partnership LLC at Marconi Street and Daggett Avenue -- face four felony charges of mail and wire fraud, each of which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and/or fines up to $250,000. Here's how the scheme worked: - In 2004, Palmer convinced a family who had received money from the death of an elderly aunt to transfer some or all of that money to Princeton Partnership. - In 2005, Palmer took money from an elderly woman and her family by saying he would invest her money into a real estate investment for her benefit. - From 2006 to 2010, Palmer convinced two elderly sisters to transfer their investment funds over to Princeton so he could make investments with the money. The sisters transferred that money and control of their stock holdings. Palmer and Driver sold and liquidated the stocks and spent the money on themselves and their business.
