Forward Your Domain to Work with Google Sites
If you are hosting a website with Google Sites, you can forward a domain name registered with us to that website. Instead of entering the standard Google Sites URL to access your website, visitors can enter your domain name. That way, visitors can focus on your domain name and not on where it's hosted.
To connect your Google Site to your domain name, you can set up domain name forwarding, which requires updates in both your Google Sites account and your domain's DNS.
- Park your domain name on our parking nameservers before you begin the forwarding process.
- Edit your CNAME record and effectively tell the Web browser to open your Google Sites site when a visitor enters your domain name in the address bar.
- Forward your unqualified domain name — that's the domain name without the "www" prefix — to the same location as the qualified domain name, the one with the "www." This way, visitors can reach your website with or without the "www" prefix. For example, your website displays for visitors who enter www.coolexample.com or coolexample.com.
- Log in to your Google Site account.
- From the More Actions menu, select Manage Site.
- Click Web address, and then enter your qualified domain name. For example, enter www.coolexample.com.
- Select Add.

Charles Barkley Explains What 'White People Problems' Are on 'SNL' [VIDEO]
Here are a couple scenarios given out by Charles Barkley. See if you can figure them out. (1) You go to a restaurant, but you can't tell if the chicken is organic.

These are what Barkley and 'SNL' call "white people problems."

We all have things we've liked eating since we were kids (pizza, French fries, souvlaki for me, in about that order of preference), and then there are some things we've never eaten in our lives and suddenly we discover and they become all-time favourites that we cook again and again. For me, these kind of things were mainly added to my diet when I left Greece and came to the hub of international cuisine called Britain (yes, I know most people would snigger at that, but seriously, it's way more advanced than my poor little homeland, and you CAN find pretty much everything you want either in specialised shops or online for any cuisine in the world!). One of the things I had never had in Greece was Thai food, which is now probably my top favourite cuisine, up there with Italian (find me 1 person in the world who doesn't like Italian, and I'll probably... spit on them, but trust me, that person doesn't exist!), and although you can find quite good restaurants in Britain, you can also now increasingly find Thai ingredients everywhere, from fish sauce to curry pastes, and from kaffir lime leaves to galangal.
I don't try to recreate Thai food at home much. We have a couple of good Thai favourites that we usually eat when we go out to Thai restaurants, and those are far too difficult to recreate (or rather look easy but fail miserably every time I've tried) but one of our latest favourites to make at home, especially when looking for something quick and light, and the fridge is empty, are these Thai crabcakes that I first spotted James Martin making in Saturday Kitchen (possibly one of my rare Saturday morning indulgences, if I manage to wake up early enough that is...).
If you've got some canned crabmeat, a potato or two and some stale bread and spices, that's about it, and they are amazingly lovely (I know potato is not very Thai in any way, but that's why I'm not calling them Thai!) and way way waaaaaaaaay better than any fishcakes or crabcakes or any other -cakes I've had in a Thai restaurant anywhere in the world (including Thailand!) So good, that we actually made them for our New Year Eve's dinner, while watching the fireworks falling over the London Eye on TV (chickenpox time, remember?)
Source: Adapted from James Martin
Serves 2
- 1 big potato (about 250g)
- 10g butter
- 1 tbsp double cream
- ½ tsp curry powder
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 250g tinned Jumbo white crabmeat
- Fresh or dried breadcrumbs (optional)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Ready-made sweet chilli sauce
Peel the potato and chop it into small cubes. Place in a pot of cold water, with a pinch of salt, and boil until the cubes are tender and a knife easily goes through them (around 15-20 minutes). While the potatoes are boiling, flake the crabmeat, making sure there is no pieces of shell.
Drain, return to the pan, and mash as well as you can with a potato masher. Add the butter, double cream, curry, chilli and garlic powder, and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Mix in the crabmeat until fully incorporated, then shape into 4 balls, and flatten slightly. In a small plate spread the breadcrumbs and roll the crabcakes until covered on all sides.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the crabcakes, cooking them until they are golden on both sides (5 minutes each side). Serve with sweet chilli sauce and some salad leaves.

|Unlocked by
|Love on the Run
The Shoreside Redemption is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by Leone Family Don Salvatore Leone from his prison cell in Pike Creek, Shoreside Vale, Liberty City.
Salvatore Leone is going to court and Salvatore knows that the Sicilian Mafia won't want him to get there, believing he will be released. Toni Cipriani follows the Securicar that Salvatore is being transported in, protecting him from attacks by the Sicilian Mafia. When he arrives at the town hall in Bedford Point, Salvatore is found not guilty and released. Salvatore leaves, heading to his home in Saint Mark's and tells Toni to meet him there.
Toni Cipriani: Sal, you there?
Salvatore Leone: Anthony! I'm getting out! My arrangement's today!
Toni Cipriani: Great!
Salvatore Leone: Yeah, but I got this notion that the Sicilians don't want me to make it to court. With me in here, who's stopping them from taking over?
Toni Cipriani: Hey, they'd have to get through me first Sal.
Salvatore Leone: Yeah, Toni. Whatever. Just make sure I get my day in court! Hey, the guards are coming now... I'll see you round the front.
(Salvatore begins his journey to the court but is attacked by the Sicilian Mafia)
Toni Cipriani: Holy shit!
(Toni escorts Salvatore)
Radio: Illegal road block reported in the area.
(Toni escorts Salvatore to the court house, where he is found not guilty)
Salvatore Leone: It's good to be a free man again. But listen, I'm gonna go to my house and get rid of these stinking rags, okay? I'll meet you up there.
The reward for completing this mission is $4,000 and the final storyline mission, The Sicilian Gambit, is unlocked.
- Its name is a reference to the prison film based on the story by author Stephen King: The Shawshank Redemption.
- It is possible to change vehicle to any vehicle, except the Securicar containing Salvatore Leone, even if instructed to use a police vehicle.

Doyle filippo on
All I have to ask is . have you started sending the the alpha buddies keys that was payed with amazon and you guys are doing a good job with the game that I've seen so far
Eric Czimcharo on
the fact still stands that i work tomorrow and Monday to Friday so i was hoping for it this weekend. or i have to wait till next Friday and Saturday to get more than a few hours play time in.
Benjamin Cortes on
Everyone please calm down, you will eventually get your keys so far to what I know 3,700 - 8,000 people have gotten their keys. No less possibly more I am not 100% sure, We've waited this long for them to start sending out the keys, now it's just a few more hours and possibly another day... They DID say AS CLOSE AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO THE 16TH OF AUGUST 2013...
john haskett on
this is BS give me my key plz!
Mikkel Nørgaard on
This is getting ridicoulus!
Eric Czimcharo on
I am watching players on you tube that got the game in there email already, and i hear dogs, and people wispering.
Mikkel Nørgaard on
Oh come on Fun Pimps. enough allready.. Get everyone the friggin game..
Suter Samuel on
i was like the 100 backer and i didn't have the key yet... srsly
Mikkel Nørgaard on
I was like the 160th backer, and 7000 others have gotten their key, while i have not... This sucks! i want my money back!
J Stimac on
Hey guys, as a public service announcement I would like to point out that Kickstarter is not a retail store and pledging is not the same as going to amazon.com and ordering a digital download of an already released game.
Backing a Kickstarter project is a great way to support projects that you want to see completed. This was a very successful Kickstart for this game as we have hit all of the developer's stretch goals! Now we need to give those guys time to execute on their plans.
The devs have been clear all along that everyone who pledged enough for early alpha access would get keys as soon as possible and while I'm sure it's not going as quickly as everyone would like, it is happening and backers who want this game to be a success need to keep in mind that part of alpha testing is testing key distribution and key activation so we're already testing! I am sure if they could just wish the keys into everyones inbox they would.
Andrei Iustinian Tudor on
this is bullshit! the pirates already cracked the alpha and me who bought the game still dont have it!!! hurry up!
Hans Olav Hjelmeland on
From their Twitter:
"Sent out another 1000 keys over the night and many more will be going out today
You stay cool
The Fun Pimps"
Eric Czimcharo on
Development @7DaystoDie 1m
Sent out another 1000 keys over the night and many more will be going out today You stay cool The Fun Pimps
Daniel Adey on
https://twitter.com/7DaystoDie has just tweeted that they have sent out 1000 codes overnight and are planning to send out more today
Luke Hardcastle on
@justin every one here has bought this game + it will stop people whining about not having it
Rick Coremans on
i by accident supported the game normaly so not with paypal cause i prefer paypal and now i have to wait until 90% of the people filled in the survey before i get the game... wel im guessing il get the game after 1 month when the vacation is over...
Untitled KittenSuperbackeron
Really @Luke Hardcastle? We're here to support this game, don't even mention stuff like that.
Eric Czimcharo on
I hate to just the dev team and stuff but actually starting to loose some interest in the game.
Bryan Nagy on
Lets get the keys rolling, looking forward to getting the game finally.
Mark Williamson on
Come on guys where are the keys
Mateusz Reglinski on
Fun Pimps wake up plz :D I need the copy of the game !!!
Luke Hardcastle on
there my be a torrent on piratebay to play ;) (dident upload it)
Andrei Iustinian Tudor on
we are 10k because 2k went for the 25$ or 15$ pledges
Samy Boumaza on
We are 13k you just send 2k pls we are a lot ^^
Steven 'Mussels' Musselwhite on
its 9am in dallas, texas.
lets get some keys rollin!
RobinSwe on
Instead of speculating about keys, or questioning the fact that they've begun to go out,
why not check the OFFICIAL info channels and read for yourselves?
Website & Forum: http://7daystodie.com/
Twitter: https://twitter.com/7DaystoDie
They also have a facebook group though it dosn't seem as updated.
Here you'll see the local Dallas time btw:
You're going to get the alpha, but if you're too damn impatient, go distract yourselves by watching movies, playing (other) games or even going outside!
You can still check your mail every so often,
but updating the shit out of your inbox won't make the key appear faster.. =D
Andrei Iustinian Tudor on
they are posting on twitter when keys are released: https://twitter.com/7DaystoDie
Sean Baade on
as much as i'd like my key now, i really just want some update as to the status of keys. that would pacify me quite enough. either way i'm happy. can't wait to play, going to be good stuff.
Andrew Porretta on
There are so many users just whining on here about not having a key yet like a bunch of kids. It concerns me about the people I'll end up playing with in game.
Seriously, it's an indie game with a very small team and it's still in Alpha. Yes you'll get the Alpha access you paid for, just hold your horses, there's a lot that goes into the logistics of handling everything post-Kickstarter. There's no magic button to send out all of the keys. Just calm down and be patient. Be glad that there's actually going to be something to get this close to the end of the Kickstarter, most have nothing for months.
Shane Williams on
the way they have gone about releasing this is pathetic 2 day way so far for something released on Thursday hmmm if i see this on steam early access in a few weeks im going to be very pissed
they should have managed this alot better im a bit disappointed that kickstarter essentially lets programmers do this ...having a solid policy on making sure games dont take money without immediate (or at least within 24 hours) is cause enough to be ready for release as an alpha they should have spent more time on sorting this out
Shayne Cameron on
I'm also impatiently waiting (for 3 keys, actually) but they can't work day and night. It takes time to process so many people, I guess.
Lamorta on
I was Teasing them but I am really Old Muhahaha, You guy have no idea what waiting is I'll give you one example world of warcraft it took them 14 day to get it out pass release date server crashes and game bugs at the end of the it was 39 day before I had a copy that would really run and could play more that 15 minutes. Be glad They have a Alpha copy we can play.
Sean Stanley on
I feel like a unicorn, being one of the rare patient people who are happy to wait for something I know will be awesome n_n You already know these guys are working very hard to get everyone on, so be cool, like The Fonz. EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH
dylan cole on
i wonder how much percent has done it?
mathewkraft on
i like ice cream
dylan cole on
if you can answer your survey and it just takes you back to here, look on the right hand side of your screen were it says how much you can pledge, go down to the amount of how much you pledge and on the bottom of that box it will say " response" and you can do it from their.
Suter Samuel on
omg Marc you are fucking retard
Tyler Whipple on
People need to learn to be patient. While I suppose they could have done this in a better way, it's not the end of the world. Just be patient so they can do what they need to do to get the game to all of us. They worked hard on this game for us, and up until now you all were stoked. No need to get pissed at them now
Tobias Lauridsen on
yes Marc just put the game on torrent site so any can download the game.... the day today's stupidest comment.
just take the time guys:-)
Marc Pedersen on
Ore just someone who has the game can uppload a torrent so thats is no problem to downloading it. so no server crash!!!
Eric Czimcharo on
pass the time watching and listening to this http://www.youtube.com/watch… It is Dear Esther
Andrew Thompson on
this is around the time that they are working on so watch time past if u must http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/central-time/

Miguel Ángel Jiménez Rodríguez (born 5 January 1964) is a Spanish professional golfer. He has won 18 times on the European Tour.
Jiménez first played on the European Tour in 1988 and improved steadily over the next few seasons. His first win on the tour came at the Piaget Belgian Open in 1992. During a fairly up and down career, he has so far had four main periods of success. In 1994 he finished fifth on the European Tour Order of Merit. One highlight was scoring an exceptionally rare albatross (double eagle) on the 17th hole at Valderrama, during the 1994 Volvo Masters, sinking his second shot on the par-5 hole with a 3-iron.
After some weaker seasons he bounced back in 1998 and 1999, finishing fourth on the Order of Merit in consecutive years and winning four tournaments including the prestigious Volvo Masters. In 1999 he also came second in the WGC-American Express Championship, which is one of the elite World Golf Championships events, and made his Ryder Cup debut.

BABSON PARK, Mass. – UMass-Boston senior goalie Kevin Bendel (Denville, N.J.) made 37 saves in net and Babson College senior Andrew Peabody (Marblehead, Mass.) stopped 36 shots as the Beacons and Beavers skated to a 1-1 overtime tie in an ECAC East men's ice hockey matchup at the Babson Skating Center on Saturday afternoon.
With the tie, UMass-Boston is now 9-7-3 overall and 5-6-1 in conference play, while Babson moves to 6-11-2 overall and 6-4-2 in the ECAC East.
Following a scoreless first period, Babson grabbed a 1-0 lead with a short-handed goal at 6:28 of the second. After taking control in his own zone, Beavers' junior Trevor Hines fired a pass up-ice to classmate PT Donato, who skated in alone on Bendel and tallied his fourth goal of the season on the breakaway. Babson then threatened to double their lead later in the period, but Bendel turned away a penalty shot to keep it a one-goal contest.
The Beacons knotted the score at 1-1 midway through the third period, beginning when senior Chris Wyman (Bartlett, Ill. ) dug the puck out from behind the net and fired a pass into the slot. Junior Tim Richter (Naugatuck, Conn.) then gathered it and tucked his first goal of the season inside the left post to even the contest at the 7:07 mark.
That would cap the scoring for both teams, as Peabody and Bendel kept their respective opponents off the board the rest of the way. Peabody finished with a total of 36 saves in the contest, including 13 in the third period and two more in overtime, while Bendel recorded 37 stops, with three of those coming in the extra session.
Men's hockey returns to action on Friday when they host Castleton State College at 7 p.m.

Editor's note 10/3/2016:
As we continue to expand the number of qualified third-party identity providers, the "Works with Office 365 – Identity Program" has been updated and is now the "Azure AD Federation Compatibility List." For more information and an up-to-date list of providers, please see the Microsoft Azure AD documentation.
Paul Andrew, @pndrw, is technical product manager for Identity Management on the Office 365 team.
Your company directory is the list of users who can sign in to use applications and the users that you can look up so you can send an email or grant access to documents. Office 365 provides three ways for you to manage user accounts in your directory: cloud identity, directory synchronization, and federated identity-all described in this post. Often customers using the third way, federated identity, need to integrate Office 365 with an existing (third-party) identity provider that holds their directory. The Works with Office 365-Identity program, which we also describe here, facilitates this process by qualifying third-party identity providers with Office 365.
Three ways to manage user accounts in Office 365
1. Cloud identity: Users are created and managed in Office 365 and are stored in Windows Azure Active Directory (AD). There is no connection to any other directory.
Cloud identity has no integration requirements. Each user is created once in the cloud and the account exists only in Windows Azure AD.
2. Directory synchronization: Users are created and managed in an on-premises identity provider and are synchronized to Windows Azure AD, where they can be used for login to Office 365.
Directory synchronization uses an existing on-premises directory and synchronizes it to Windows Azure AD. This synchronization can be done from an on-premises active directory using the Directory Synchronization tool, or it can be done from a non-AD on-premises directory using PowerShell and the Azure AD Graph APIs. Synchronization means that accounts are managed on-premises and properties cannot be edited through the Office 365 cloud interface. If you're using the Directory Synchronization tool with Active Directory, then password hashes can also be synchronized so that users can log in with the same password on-premises and in the cloud. For more information about directory synchronization and password hash synchronization, see TechNet Documentation for Directory Sync and Password Sync.
3. Federated identity: In addition to directory synchronization, login requests are handled by the on-premises identity provider. Federated identity is usually used to implement single sign-on.
Federation provides for a user to be signed in using the federated identity provider for the user's password check. Directory synchronization is also required as a prerequisite in order to populate the cloud-based directory. When using federated identity, many Office 365 customers use Active Directory Federation Services, which manages login password checks with the on-premises Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure. Some customers use third-party identity providers and Microsoft supports Office 365 when it is connected with a variety of qualified third-party identity providers. Here are the federation options:
- Microsoft Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services. See Active Directory Federation Services Overview.
- Third party WS-*-based identity providers that are qualified through the Works with Office 365-Identity program.
- The Shibboleth identity provider. Shibboleth is a SAML 2.0 identity provider. See Use Shibboleth Identity Provider to implement single sign-on on TechNet.
The Works with Office 365-Identity program
The Works with Office 365-Identity program provides testing and qualification of third-party identity providers with Office 365. Office 365 uses Windows Azure Active Directory for identity management and through this includes directory synchronization and federation. Microsoft supports Office 365 for customers who are using Office 365 with a federated identity provider that is qualified under the Works with Office 365-Identity program. Identity providers that have not been tested by Microsoft are not qualified for federation with Office 365.
If you're an Office 365 customer, you can use an identity provider that is qualified in the Works with Office 365-Identity program and know that Microsoft has tested the configuration and that it will be able to support Office 365. Please note that for information about configuring or troubleshooting the third-party identity provider you should contact the third party instead of Microsoft.
The Works with Office 365-Identity program is currently focused on WS-* identity providers. These providers use one of the following two protocols:
- WS-Federation is the protocol used to support sign-in to Office 365 using the web interface, sometimes known as "passive authentication." This includes the Office 365 portal, SharePoint Online, Outlook Web Access, and the Office Web Apps.
- WS-Trust is the protocol used to support sign-in to Office 365 using Office client applications, sometimes known as "active authentication." This includes Outlook, Lync, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.

Submitted by Charles Hugh-Smith of OfTwoMinds blog,
Is masking risk, cost and consequence a strategy that leads to success? No; it is a pathway to catastrophic failure.
What are the core characteristics of the spoiled teenager? The conventional view is that the spoiled teen "gets everything they want." In my view, the key characteristic of Spoiled Teenager Syndrome is that risk, cost and consequence have been masked.
This is a systemic point of view, meaning that the masking of risk, cost and consequence help us understand not just the eventual failure of spoiled teenagers but the eventual failure of every group or enterprise that masks risk, cost and consequence as a strategy to paper over an unsustainable Status Quo. This includes families, companies, states and nations.
The spoiled teen is spoiled precisely because the risk, cost and consequence of their choices and actions are suppressed by Mommy and/or Daddy. Since Mommy and/or Daddy diligently cover the cost and mask the eventual consequence of Junior's unrealistic expectations and poor choices, the risks created by Junior's choices and lifestyle are also masked. Junior naturally assumes Mommy and/or Daddy will bail him out of every scrape and "make it right" at no cost to Junior.
Masking risk, cost and consequence creates an illusory world that eventually crashes on the unforgiving rocks of reality. Anyone who knows parents who have spoiled their kids has stories that beggar the imagination of those who have no choice but to live in the real world. In one such instance within our circle of friends, the daughter who was caught shoplifting told her Mom that she did not want to go to court, and Mom had to do something so she wouldn't have to face any consequence from her actions.
This 16-year old apparently believed that Mommy could push risk, cost and consequence aside in all cases; even the law should give way if it proved inconvenient or painful.
Are the values, experiences and skills spoiled teens receive going to help them navigate adulthood, or will they encourage a state of permanent adolescence? When will Mommy and Daddy stop hovering, warding off risk, cost and consequence? We know the answer: when they are finally unable to do so.
Did all their "help" masking risk, cost and consequence actually aid their child in the long-term? Or did it cripple the child by leading him into a false sense of security, an illusory state where someone will always save you from consequence?
What sort of skills to assess and manage risk does the spoiled teen have in hand when risk has been cloaked? How can the teen understand cost and trade-offs when the true costs of their lifestyle have been hidden? How can the teen navigate adult life, which is characterized by taking responsibility for one's actions and being accountable to others, when the consequences of his choices have been smoothed away by Mommy and Daddy?
One intrinsic characteristic of parents who have masked risk, cost and consequence is that they do not perceive themselves as having spoiled their children. Instead, they see themselves as "good parents" who are protecting their children from the unpleasant rough edges of life. In their view, there is plenty of time later in life to learn about risk assessment, short-term and long-term trade-offs, costs (both financial and emotional), accountability, realistic appraisals and consequence.
These parents seem blind to the reality that their coddling and hovering have left their children disastrously ill-prepared for adulthood. If there is any recipe for guaranteed unhappiness, it is nurturing expectations that are wildly at odds with what real life offers. Risk and return are indeed causally linked.
I have watched in amazement as coddled 19-year olds taking a few classes at community college and dreaming of rock stardom confidently declare that they would be OK with being a firefighter in a wealthy city because the starting pay was $80,000. That there are 1,000 applicants for every opening did not seem to register in this young man's assessment, nor did his inability to clean up a weedy backyard; he stopped after an hour or so because there was no consequence to a sorrowfully half-baked effort.
I grieve for young people so ill-prepared for a recessionary economy, not to mention marriage, managing scarce income and capital and a hundred other aspects of unsubsidized adulthood. Their parents have essentially robbed them of the slow and relatively safe part of the learning curve, where you get fired for being late at 16 years of age rather than at 26.
Is it any wonder that many young people are boiling with frustration when they exit college and the protected enclave of their parents' home to find a world that doesn't respond to their desires for creative expression and their long list of likes and dislikes, i.e. demands?
On the other side of the ledger, I have seen quiet young men and women, residents in youth homeless shelters, who received no buffering at all between the teen years and unforgiving adulthood. Abused at home or simply abandoned, they hit the road as the only alternative open to them. Penniless and without family support, they often face bleak choices. Their appraisals (in my limited experience) are by necessity realistic. Of course they are hurting; but ironically, perhaps, they are in some ways better prepared to navigate adulthood than teens who have yet to be exposed to risk, cost and consequence.
Is masking risk, cost and consequence a strategy that leads to success? No; it is a pathway to repeated catastrophic failure. What is the Central Planning strategy being pursued by our Central State and the Federal Reserve? Masking risk, cost and consequence.
Masking risk, cost and consequence is disastrous not just for teens, but for entire nations.

S9 E04 I Saw Her Standing There
NEWSFLASH! Cristina is sleeping with the Mayo Clinic's head of cardio, Dr. Parker. He's about as jovial and carefree as a person can get and she's, well, not. Hey, opposites attract, right? Cristina assures Meredith that Parker is just her sex friend. Her closest pal in the great state of Minnesota is the guy she couldn't stand initially. That would be the elderly Dr. Thomas. The guy is Cristina's ancient Minnesota Meredith if that makes any sense.
Cristina learns that her new sex friend is looking to force Dr. Thomas into retirement. She realizes the only way to save her Minnesota Mer-man is to get him to ditch his old school ways to do a procedure that's a bit more 21st Century. Dr. Thomas struggles during the operation. He wants Cristina to take over. Instead, she talks him through and everything turns out aces. Afterwards, Cristina lets Dr. Parker know that she having drinks with her friend, Dr. Thomas. That means her sex friend will be going home alone.
David is the amiable fellow who is fitting Arizona for her new prosthetic. He can see how hard this is for her as she struggles to adapt to this new life. He also witnesses firsthand the venomous tirades Arizona is still hurling at Callie. David gives his patient time to cool down after he also experiences her wrath. Arizona attempts to walk while he's away. Alex pops into the room just in time to catch her when she falls. He says they need her back at work. Arizona says she's trying. Alex lets her know that Callie is trying, too.
There's a good reason why Richard looks so spiffy at the start of his shift. The great Catherine Avery is in the house to help out with the case of a guy who has testicles the size of basketballs. She promises her slam dunk procedure will fix him right up. Bailey is disappointed to learn that April will be scrubbing in instead of her. This is so Catherine can avoid Jackson, who actually ends up scrubbing in anyway.
April bails on Catherine's operation because the woman is obsessed with the details of her sex life. No need to give her an opportunity to figure out that it happened to get jump started by her son. The surgery is a success in more ways than one as the patient gets the courage (or the balls, as it were) to tell his best lady friend that she's the best lady for him. Jackson also dials up the guts to tell Richard that he doesn't like that he likes his mom. The two of them come to an uneasy understanding with each other.
Meredith's intern, Heather, discovers a massive tumor inside an overly-emotional bodyguard. Mer keeps the news from her hubby because all he can do is teach a bunch of hopeless interns at the moment. As for the surgery, Meredith has no idea how she's going to attack the mass. The patient freaks a bit when intern Heather blabs this to him. As for Derek, Owen lets him know that the reason his wife didn't tell him about her surgery is because she may have been afraid he'd run off to the woods and grow beard. It's happened before.
Derek sees a sign of hope with an intern who correctly utilizes a technique he taught him. He also lets Meredith know that he's not going run off to the woods again. He wants to hear about all the good things she does. In other relationship news, Callie has been sleeping at Mark's place lately. Arizona puts a stop to this by asking her to watch American Bakeoff with her. Let the healing begin.
Jackson distracts himself from thinking about his mom having sex with Richard by having sex with April. As for Owen, he hasn't been sleeping with anyone. In fact, he hasn't been sleeping at all. That's why he opts to spend the night at Derek's trailer gazing up at the heavens. Perhaps he can take comfort in the fact that at least he's under the same starry sky as Cristina.
By the way, this episode was directed by the guy who happens to play Dr. Owen Hunt--Kevin McKidd.

Historical background
Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)
The work about the elaboration of the GHS began with the premise that existing systems should be harmonized in order to develop a single, globally harmonized system to address classification of chemicals, labels, and safety data sheets. This was not a totally novel concept since harmonization of classification and labelling was already largely in place for physical hazards and acute toxicity in the transport sector, based on the work of the United Nations Economic and Social Council's Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UNCEDTG). Harmonization had not been achieved in the workplace or consumer sectors, however, and transport requirements in countries were often not harmonized with those of other sectors in that country.
Chapter 19 of Agenda 21, adopted at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED, 1992), provided the international mandate to complete this task. The work was coordinated and managed under the auspices of the Interorganization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) Coordinating Group for the Harmonization of Chemical Classification Systems (CG/HCCS). The technical focal points for completing the work were:
- the International Labour Organization (ILO) for the hazard communication;
- the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for the classification of health and environmental hazards; and
- the United Nations Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UNSCETDG) and ILO for the physical hzards;
It required a long-term commitment from all of these organizations that they maintained over the years. By resolution 1999/65 of 26 October 1999 the United Nations Economic and Social Council decided to enlarge the mandate of the Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods by reconfiguring it into a Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (CETDGGHS), and by creating, besides the Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (TDG Sub-Committee), a new Sub-Committee of Experts on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS Sub-Committee).
The GHS Sub-Committee is responsible for maintaining the GHS, promoting its implementation and providing additional guidance as needs arise, while maintaining stability in the system to encourage its adoption. Under its auspices, the GHS is regularly revised and updated to reflect national, regional and international experiences in implementing its requirements into national, regional and international laws, as well as the experiences of those doing the classification and labelling.
The first task of the GHS Sub-Committee was to make the GHS available for worldwide use and application. The first edition of the GHS, which was intended to serve as the initial basis for the global implementation of the system, was adopted in December 2002. Since then, the GHS has been updated every two years. The fifth revised edition of the GHS (GHS Rev.5) was published in 2013.
At its seventh session (12 December 2014), the Committee of Experts adopted a set of amendments to the fifth revised edition of the GHS which include, inter alia, a new hazard class for desensitized explosives and a new hazard category for pyrophoric gases; miscellaneous provisions intended to clarify the criteria for some hazard classes (explosives, specific target organ toxicity following single exposure, aspiration hazard and hazardous to the aquatic environment); additional information to be included in the Safety Data Sheets (section 9); revised and further rationalized precautionary statements; and a new example in Annex 7 addressing labelling of small packagings.
The seventh revised edition of the GHS (GHS Rev.7), published in 2017, takes account of these amendments which were circulated as document ST/SG/AC.10/44/Add.3.
The System is now ready for worldwide implementation. In its Plan of Implementation (para 22.(c)) adopted in Johannesburg on 4 September 2002, the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) encouraged countries to implement the new GHS as soon as possible. Information about the status of implementation of the GHS by country is available (in English only) in the page following the link "GHS implementation" on the left hand menu.

Twelve-bar blues
The 12-bar blues or blues changes is one of the most prominent chord progressions in popular music. The blues progression has a distinctive form in lyrics, phrase, chord structure, and duration. In its basic form, it is predominantly based on the I-IV-V chords of a key.
The blues can be played in any key. Mastery of the blues and rhythm changes are "critical elements for building a jazz repertoire".[1]
In the key of C, one basic blues progression (E from above) is as follows.[2] (For the most commonly used patterns see "Variations" section below.)
C C C C or C7 C7 C7 C7 F F C C or F7 F7 C7 C7 G G C C or G7 G7 C7 C7
Chords may be also represented by a few different notation systems such as sheet music and electronic music. A basic example of the progression would look like this, using T to indicate the tonic, S for the subdominant, and D for the dominant, and representing one chord. In Roman numeral analysis the tonic is called the I, the sub-dominant the IV, and the dominant the V. (These three chords are the basis of thousands more pop songs which thus often have a blues sound even without using the classical 12-bar form.)
Using said notations, the chord progression outlined above can be represented as follows.[3]
The first line takes four bars, as do the remaining two lines, for a total of twelve bars. However, the vocal or lead phrases, though they often come in threes, do not coincide with the above three lines or sections. This overlap between the grouping of the accompaniment and the vocal is part of what creates interest in the twelve bar blues.
"W.C. Handy, 'the Father of the Blues,' codified this blues form to help musicians communicate chord changes."[4] However, many variations are possible. The length of sections may be varied to create eight-bar blues or sixteen-bar blues.
In the original form, the dominant chord continued through the tenth bar; later on the V-IV-I-I "shuffle blues" pattern became standard in the third set of four bars:[5]
- {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:110px;"
|-- |width=25%|I |width=25%|I |width=25%|I |width=25%|I |-- | IV ||IV ||I ||I |-- | V ||IV ||I ||I |-- |} Play
The common quick to four or quick-change (quick four[6]) variation uses the subdominant chord in the second bar:
These variations are not mutually exclusive; the rules for generating them may be combined with one another (and/or with others not listed) to generate more complex variations.
Seventh chords are often used just before a change, and more changes can be added. A more complicated example might look like this, where "7" indicates a seventh chord:
Using a seventh chord I IV I I7 IV IV7 I I7 V IV I V7
When the last bar contains the dominant, that bar may be called a turnaround, otherwise the last four measures is the blues turnaround.
Basic jazz blues progression
I7 IV7 #IVo I7 v7 I7 IV7 IVo I7 III7 VI7 ii7 V7 III7 VI7 II7 V7
In jazz, 12-bar blues progressions are expanded with moving substitutions and chordal variations. The cadence (or last four measures) uniquely leads to the root by perfect intervals of fourths.
The Bebop blues:[7]
- {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:250px;"
|-- |width=25%|I7 |width=25%|IV7 |width=25%|I7 |width=25%|v7 I7 |-- | IV7 ||♯IVo7 ||I7 ||V/ii♭9 |-- | ii7 ||V7 ||I7 V/ii♭9 ||ii7 V7 |-- |} Play
This progression is similar to Charlie Parker's "Now's the Time", "Billie's Bounce", Sonny Rollins's "Tenor Madness", and many other bop tunes.[8] "It is a bop soloist's cliche to arpeggiate this chord [A7♭9 (V/ii = VI7♭9)] from the 3 up to the ♭9."[9]
Minor blues (Spitzer 2001, p. 63)
i7 i7 i7 i7 iv7 iv7 i7 i7 ♭VI7 V7 i7 i7
There are also minor 12-bar blues, such as John Coltrane's "Equinox" and "Mr. P.C.",[10] and "Why Don't You Do Right?", made famous by Lil Green with Big Bill Broonzy and then Peggy Lee with the Benny Goodman Orchestra. The chord on the fifth scale degree may be major, V7, or minor, v7, in which case it fits a dorian scale along with the minor i7 and iv7 chords, creating a modal feeling.[11] Major and minor can also be mixed together, a signature characteristic of the music of Charles Brown.
While the blues is most often considered to be in sectional strophic form with a verse-chorus pattern, it may also be considered as an extension of the variational chaconne procedure. Van der Merwe (1989) considers it developed in part specifically from the American Gregory Walker though the conventional account would consider hymns as the provider of the blues repeating chord progression or harmonic formulae.[12]
Lyrical patterns
Most commonly, lyrics are in three lines, with the first two lines the same, or perhaps with a minor variation; there may also be slight differences in phrasing and interjections:
- I hate to see the evening sun go down,
- Yes, I hate to see that evening sun go down
- 'Cause it makes me think I'm on my last go 'round
However, many songs exist that are written in the blues chord progression that does not use the three-line form of lyrics. For instance, "I'm Moving On" has a verse in the first four bars and a chorus in the final eight bars:
- That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
- Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back.
- I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
- You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
- So I'm movin' on.
Here is an example showing the 12 bar blues pattern and how it fits with the lyrics of a given verse. One chord symbol is used per beat, with "-" representing the continuation of the previous chord:
- Woke up this morning with an awful aching head
- Woke up this morning with an awful aching head
- My new man had left me, just a room and an empty bed.
- From Bessie Smith's "Empty Bed Blues".
Another example, "Johnny B. Goode" (written and first recorded by Chuck Berry), applies a "shuffle" or "light 'swing'" rhythm to one of the more common twelve-bar progressions:
|Measure 1
|Measure 2
|Measure 3
|Measure 4
|Bb (I)
|down in Lou'siana, close to
|Bb (I)
|New Orleans, way
|Bb (I)
|back up in the woods among the
|Bb (I)
|Eb (IV)
|stood a log cabin, made from
|Eb (IV)
|earth and wood, where
|Bb (I)
|lived a country boy named
|Bb (I)
|Johnny B. Goode.
|never really learned to read or
|write too well, but he could
|Bb (I)
|play a guitar just like a-
|Bb (I)
|-ringin' a bell.
Another progression, D-D7-G7-A7, appears in this collection (Axelsson & Strängliden 2007, 55).
"Twelve-bar" examples
The 12-bar blues chord progression is the basis of thousands of songs, not only formally identified blues songs. The vast majority of boogie-woogie compositions are 12-bar blues, as are many early rock songs.[13]
- George Gershwin's "How Long Has This Been Going On" (1928) makes use of the twelve-bar blues progression. Other popular examples of twelve bar blues include:
- Ray Charles' "What'd I Say" (1959)
- The Andrews Sisters' "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" (1941)
- Rock Around the Clock (1952)
- Muddy Waters' "Train Fare Blues" (1948)
- Howlin' Wolf's "Evil" (1954)
- Big Joe Turner's "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" (1954).[14]
- Nappy Brown's "Night Time is the Right Time" (1957), made famous by Ray Charles
- Henry Mancini's "Baby Elephant Walk" (1961).
- The Surfari's "Wipeout" (1963).
- James Brown's Night Train (1966).
- I Got You (I Feel Good) by James Brown
- The refrain of Duffy's 2011 "Mercy"
- Gene Vincent's "Be Bop A Lula"
- Express Yourself (Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band song)
- Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog" and the "A" section of "All Shook Up." "Heartbreak Hotel" is a diminution of the 12-bar blues.
- Several Beatles songs by Lennon & McCartney, including "Can't Buy Me Love", "Day Tripper", the verse structure of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", and more obvious blues songs like "Why Don't We Do It In the Road," "(They Say It's) Your Birthday," "For You Blue," and "Yer Blues"
- Louis Prima's "Jump, Jive and Wail"
- Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" is based around an 11 bar progress of I I I I, IV IV I I, V V I.
- King Oliver's "Dippermouth Blues"
- Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime"
- Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti"
- White Stripes' "Ball and Biscuit"
- ZZ Top single "Tush" is an example of the twelve-bar blues in rock.
- Prince's "Kiss" is a 12-bar blues form with unusually long 8-beat bars.
- Georgia Satellites' "Keep Your Hands to Yourself"
- Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Pride and Joy"
- Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll", "Since I've Been Loving You", "The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair" and their covers of "You Shook Me" and "Travelling Riverside Blues".
- Tracy Chapman's "Give Me One Reason"
- Batman theme song "Batman Theme", by Neal Hefti
- KC and the Sunshine Band's "Boogie Shoes" (1975).
Examples of altered or extended progressions include Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man".[15]
You may also find many improvised versions of this piece, often seen in piano practice books, and as simple tunes to try out a musical instrument, such as this one, played in the C key. Play
The twelve-bar blues, a chromatic chord progression, is a logical formula for blues music: without the dominant's major minor seventh chord (in C: G7), the sequence does not accord with the tonal "V-I" relationship. Instead, it would be based mostly on a plagal cadence—an IV-I change (in C: F-C). The key is fully verified with the V7 (G7) chord,[16] but only after going over the subdominant (F) and tonic (C).
Additionally, the chord progression meshes elements of major and minor. The major-minor (dominant) seventh chords used on each degree alone seem to fall in some gray area between the strong, content major chord and the somber, conflicted minor chord. The subdominant's seventh chord is of note here, because of its odd relationship with the tonic.
In classical music, the 'dominant (major-minor) seventh chord on the tonic would almost certainly resolve elsewhere (rather than being resolved to), especially its subdominant (from C7: to F). While at first, it seems to resolve well to the subdominant, this is merely a tonicization (brief leave to another key), because of the earlier emphasis on the dominant seventh (C7), and because of the dominant seventh that appears on the subdominant, an element found in the Dorian mode. Traditionally, the seventh of the subdominant chord would not be flattened, as it would contradict the third of the tonic chord. This undermines the expected resolution and also questions whether the actual tonic is major or minor in quality: this seventh chord (F-A-C-E♭) resolves back to the tonic by resolving both up a step to (E♭-->E) (mediant), and down a step to from (F-->E) (leading tone); and down harmonically to I.
When returning to the I7 chord, the major third sounds like a Picardy third resolution, and the minor seventh no longer seems to resolve to the sixth (B♭-->A, the third of IV; instead it seems like a blue note that adds a tense, funky, thick color to the tonic.
In jazz
Jazz is considered to have some of its roots in the blues,[17] and the blues progression is one of several blues elements found in jazz such as blue notes, blues-like phrasing of melodies, and blues riffs. Tunes that utilize the jazz-blues harmony are fairly common in the jazz repertoire, especially from the bebop era. In the 1910-20 period, early jazz adopted the 12-bar blues with sectional two-or-three strain dance forms. By the 1930's as jazz ensembles increased in size, many composers began to rely on 32-bars instead of 12-bar. A twelve-bar jazz blues will usually feature a more sophisticated—or at any rate a different—treatment of the harmony than a traditional blues would, but the underlying features of the standard 12-bar blues progression remain discernible. One of the main ways the jazz musician accomplishes this is through the use of chord substitutions—a chord in the original progression is replaced by one or more chords which have the same general "sense" or function; in this case occurring especially in the turnaround (i.e., the last four bars). One well-known artist that sang this form of jazz was Billie Holiday, and almost all well known instrumental jazz musicians will have recorded at least one variation on this theme. Over time, swing became increasingly more popular and bands employed famous musicians such as Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, Doris Day, Perry Como, Billie Holiday, Helen Forrest, and Bing Crosby.
The 12-bar blues form, in the commonly played key of B♭, often becomes:
Bb7 / Eb7 / Bb7 / Bb7 / Eb7 / Edim7 / Bb7 / Dm7 - G7 / Cm7 / F7 / Dm7 - G7 / Cm7 - F7 //
Transposed to the key of C:
C7 / F7 / C7 / C7 / F7 / F♯dim7 / C7 / Em7 - A7 / Dm7 / G7 / Em7 - A7 / Dm7 - G7 //
where each slash represents a new measure, in the jazz-blues. The significant changes include the Edim7, which creates movement, and the III-VI-II-V or I-VI-II-V turnaround, a jazz staple.
There is, however, no standard form of jazz blues, and several common variations. For example, the diminished chord in bar 6 is often omitted, and many turnarounds are possible. An example turnaround using chromatic chord movement could be:
Dm7 / G7 / C7 - Eb7 / D7 - Db7
Another variation has the cycle concluding on the dominant chord as in a standard blues. This feature introduces a tension that propels the listener's expectation toward the next chord change cycle. Here is an example:
C7 - A7 / Dm7 - G7
Count Basie's version of the blues progression, which came into wide use, demonstrates several of these variations (shown here in the key of F):
F7 / Bb7 Bdim / F7 / Cm7 F7 / Bb7 / Bdim / F7 / D7 / Gm7 / C7 / F7 / Gm7 C7 /
Alto sax great Charlie Parker introduced a fluid chord sequence for jazz blues, using tritone substitution and chromatic chord changes typical of the be-bop era. It has come to be known as Bird Blues, after his nickname, "Yardbird," or more simply, "Bird."

For example, similar progressions may be found in, Parker's "Blues for Alice", Wes Montgomery's "West Coast Blues", and the non-jazz Toots Thielemans' "Bluesette", Parker's "Confirmation", and Harry Warren's "There Will Never Be Another You".[19] Below is a common version of the Bird Blues chord sequence, shown here in F:
Fmaj7 / Em7b5 A7b9 / Dm7 Db7 / Cm7 F7 / Bb7 / Bbm7 Eb7 / Am7 D7 / Abm7 Db7 / Gm7 / C7 / F D7 / Gm7 C7 //
A more modern example is the A-section of Pat Metheny's "Missouri Uncompromised". The first 4 bars and the last 4 bars are taken from the classic blues (albeit without the dominant quality); the middle 4 bars, although completely altered, still follow the functional pattern of the blues:
- B♭/A is a suspended subdominant, which serves as a pivot point modulating to B♭ major, where it becomes an unstable form of the tonic;
- D♭/A♭ serves as a more stable version of a (now minor) tonic substitute (tonic of the subdominant is subdominant by association to the original key);
- E♭/G serves as a pivot point modulating back to A major, where it becomes the tritone substitute of the tonic;
- D/F♯ and Dm/F are both subdominant, creating a natural movement from the tonic substitute above to the dominant chord in bar 9.
A / A / A / A / Bb/A / Db/Ab / Eb/G / D/F# Dm/F / E / D / A / A //

The origins of these images may surprise you. For example, the tree and tree swing images were captured from the real world in hundreds of digital photographs from every possible angle. The resulting digital photographs create 'point clouds' which the computer assembles into one complete 3D rendering.
Paul Kaiser of OpenEnded Group writes: "The effect is of haunting stereoscopic spaces that seem to float halfway between our world and another. We've been intent on losing the fixed frame of the photograph, enabling the viewer to focus on particular objects or figures that they single out within the depths of the image."Images Courtesy OpenEnded Group--Marc Downie, Shelley Eshkar, Paul Kaiser

Hi, madshi.
I'm so happy to know that madCodeHook was updated to 4.0, with some useful improvements. We soon updated madCodeHook in our project, but we met a problem.
Our project was always protected by "Themida" a software protection system. It did well while the program using madCodeHook 3.x.x. However, after we updated madCodeHook to 4.0.2, the protected DLL can not be loaded by the main program(using the function InjectLibrary). If the DLL is not protected by "Themida", the main program can load the DLL successfully.
So we doubt that there are problems to load a protected DLL by madCodeHook 4.0.
We look forward to your help, and thank you very much.

"Apple is not a hardware company," CEO Tim Cook just said at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference in San Francisco.
It was such an important point, he repeated himself: "Apple is not a hardware company."
The topic, in a keynote interview, was Apple's gross margins, and whether they were under pressure.
"You could go in and accept a lower margin at any time, for strategic reasons," Tim Cook said. "We know this halo effect plays. We have confidence in our ability to manage supply chains and work down cost curves."
In other words, Apple can play the price game if it wants to—but it may not have to, because of consumers' perception of its brand value.
But then Cook said something really interesting.
"Because we're not a hardware company, we have other ways to make money and reward shareholders," he said.
Cook pointed out that Apple's software and services business— iTunes, the App Store, iCloud, and other all-digital offerings—was $3.7 billion in the most recent quarter. That's large even compared to most pure-play software and services companies, he observed.
"There are other things we could do to have revenues and profits flow," Cook said.
That seems like an oblique reference to Amazon's strategy of selling the Kindle Fire at a low price and making money on sales of digital media to play on the tablet.
So, reading between the lines, Cook is saying Apple could definitely take a page from Jeff Bezos's low-margin, make-it-up-on-volume playbook. He's just not sure Apple has to do that.

Good Investor Presentation Event and Good Follow Up
Fund: New Vantage Group
Posted by AnonMcLean on 2008-10-06
New Vantage Group's primary group is the Active Angel Investors (AAI). We originally pitched to the screening group in March of 2008. When the new guy Dan Mindus joined New Vantage, communication really improved. He took our calls, asked good questions and ultimately arranged the full investor presentation in July. John May ran an excellent investor presentation meeting and had an impressive group of investors in the room. The investors listened, asked tough questions and talked to us after the presentation. I have been to other DC area conferences where you get the impression that the so-called investors are just people getting together to socialize. John May made sure this investor presentation was about the companies presenting and the investment opportunities on the table. Dan Mindus did an excellent job following up afterwards and promptly brought investors to our office. Ultimately, we decided not to move forward with funding and our company for other reasons.
If you are looking to raise money and are based in the DC area and pre-revenue, you need to raise Angel money before going to VC firms. If you send a good executive summary and business plan to AAI, they will give you feedback. If you can't get an audience with them, there is probably a good reason.PRIVATE: Members Only (339 Characters)

Quick test: Which B-17 was the first to complete 25 missions during World War II?
If you answered "Memphis Belle," you would be incorrect. The first B-17 to hit the magic number was "Hell's Angels," a B-17F of the 358th Bomb Squadron, 303rd Bomb Group. The name of the airplane came from the Howard Hughes movie. "Hell's Angels" completed 48 missions before returning to the United States for a war bond tour.
"Hell's Angels" was a catalyst to the development of an important piece of aviation culture. During World War II, workers in factories signed milestone aircraft, such as 1,000th aircraft built, before they were delivered.
The members of the 358th decided to return the favor and signed the "Hell's Angels" before it left for the states. The idea caught on and soon other squadrons signed their aircraft before they were sent home. The practice of signing planes that are being retired or changing missions continues today.
The "Memphis Belle" was the first B-17 to complete 25 missions then return home for a war bond tour. The "Memphis Belle" also was featured in a wartime documentary film, as well as a Hollywood movie in the 1990s. Both give the impression that the Belle was the first to hit the 25-mission mark.
The "Memphis Belle" spent most of the last century on exhibit in its namesake city. The Belle was recently moved to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton and is being prepared for permanent display.
The "Hell's Angels" was scrapped in 1947.
Over the years its crew has had to put up with misinformation about their place in history. Not only were they the first crew to complete 25 missions, they also had to combat rumors after the war linking them to the motorcycle club of the same name when the story got started that the motorcycle club was made up of misfit former members of the 303rd Bomb Group.
According to the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club website, it wasn't the B-17 but another military outfit that inspired their name and distinctive insignia: the Hell's Angels squadron of the Flying Tigers, which flew in China during World War II. The motorcycle club was founded in Southern California in 1948.

He was a knight undaunted with an unwavering mission. It struck me that he was about to create a revolution that would reverberate throughout the world. Courageously resolute, he would not turn back.
As I reflected upon the elements of his dream, I realized my life was about to change.
For as I was drawn to listen, he was willing to share.
Speaking of personal transformation, he was convinced people could learn to move beyond their perceived limitations. Illuminating a comprehensive vision of inner balance, he recognized and believed in each person's ability to nurture or reestablish the gift of well-being regardless of health challenge. For him, the concept of wellness in mind, body and spirit didn't end with the individual, it extended to all humankind.
Though he sounded like a physician, sociologist and philosopher, he wasn't one. Yet his journey covered much territory in the school of life.
He spoke of a single unifying element that changed his life.
That element was "music" - not just any kind of music. What he elaborated upon was not a song or a symphony. It wasn't a concert, a band, a performer or an instrument either. Surprisingly it had nothing to do with ability, performance, accomplishment, or applause.
It was far more.
That day he taught me about living life fully through musical expression that had little to do with...of all things...music!
He described "Recreational Music-making" and defined it in the context of the Latin word, "recreatio" which according to Merriam Webster means "restoration to health." His expanded definition follows:
"Recreational Music-making encompasses enjoyable, accessible and fulfilling group music-based activities that unite people of all ages regardless of their challenges, backgrounds, ethnicity, ability or prior experience. From exercise, nurturing, social support, bonding and spirituality, to intellectual stimulation, heightened understanding and enhanced capacity to cope with life's challenges, the benefits of Recreational Music-making extend far beyond just music. Recreational Music-making ultimately affords unparalleled creative expression that unites our bodies, minds and spirits."
As a physician focused on whole person care, it didn't take a stretch of my imagination to understand what he conceived. That day didn't end with mere conceptualization either. I joined him.
The rest is history - in the making that is. Over the last few years, we've worked closely to inspire people to take an active role in their own well-being through non-performance-based musical expression. And it's satisfying to know the word is spreading globally.
Our goal (notice how he's allowed me to share his mission) extends far beyond Recreational Music-making activities. We're convinced that a cultural transformation must take place in order build upon and sustain the concept well into the future.
This is described as "Musiculture" a term we've coined that suggests: "an integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief and behavior that extends man's capacity for learning and transmitting the expression, enjoyment and bio-psycho-social benefits of Recreational Music-making to succeeding generations."
From a speech I recently delivered at the United Nations in New York to a presentation we both shared at the Global Economic Summit of the Music Products Industry in Spain, people are now listening, learning and beginning to take the message to heart.
With the goal of uniting the music products industry and the healthcare industry to work diligently toward improving quality of life using Recreational Music-making as wellness strategy, we're prepared to build upon a credible fund of knowledge that will enable this concept to encircle the world.
And it's finally happening.
A few months ago we began a comprehensive interdisciplinary Recreational Music-making program for seniors with a generous grant from Yamaha Corporation and support from Remo Inc. This multidimensional project is taking place at two leading centers: Wesbury United Methodist Retirement Community in Meadville, PA and Fredericka Manor in Chula Vista, CA. Through dedicated leadership and unwavering commitment, both centers are working with us to forge a new evidence-based standard for a sustainable Musiculture that has great life enhancing potential for seniors throughout the world.
Before closing, you should know that the man I'm working with, the visionary who started it all just happens to be the recognized "Father of Music-making and Wellness," Karl T. Bruhn. His genius and dedication is enabling all of us to begin tomorrow and every tomorrow thereafter on a healthier note - Mind Over Matter!

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
As the orgy of condemnation against Israel in the wake of the Gaza war continues, Christians in Iraq are doing their best to be heard above the din while they still have a voice.
The radical Sunni movement ISIS, now known simply as the Islamic State, has been happy to have the Gaza war as cover as it completes its conquest of northern Iraq. "We can do anything now the world is looking only to Gaza," an Islamic State official reportedly said recently.
And Canon Andrew White, popularly known as the "Vicar of Baghdad," lamented that "in reality that is true."
In a single day last week, the militants of the Islamic State killed no fewer than 1,500 people in Iraq, nearly the same number of people that were killed in the entire month-long Gaza war. Christians are being systematically cleansed from the country. Most have been forced to convert, flee or have been publicly executed for their faith.
"It is as if hell has broken out here and nobody cares," Canon White said in an impassioned plea published by the Anglican Communion News Service.
The United Nations' Special Rapporteur on minority issues, Rita Izsák, acknowledged that in Iraq "religious minorities are being targeted and their members subjected to abductions, killings or the confiscation of their property by extremist groups."
And yet, the world body continues to focus disproportionate (they like word) attention on Israel and its conflict with Hamas, a fact that had Israeli Ambassador Ron Prosor fuming as he addressed the UN General Assembly on Wednesday.
"It might be too much to ask you to stand on our side in this battle between civilization and barbarism, but at least have the decency to swallow your selective outrage while Israel wages war against the extremist groups seeking to eradicate the values that we all hold very dear," he said.
Prosor accused the UN of complicity in the slaughter taking place in Iraq and elsewhere thanks to its "allowing organizations like Hamas to continue to exist in the Middle East."

Fast Ferry in Washington Leaves Environmental Damage in Wake
By JULIA WELLS
As the Steamship Authority considers a plan to launch high-speed passenger ferry service between New Bedford and the Vineyard, a new scientific study has found that a state-of-the-art high-speed passenger ferry is causing erosion and environmental shoreline damage in the state of Washington.
The prescription for the Chinook, the ultra-high-speed ferry that runs between the cities of Seattle and Bremerton?
Slow down.
"This is not over. A lawsuit over property damage continues, but a few fast ferries are slowing down," declared an editorial in the Seattle Times last week.
The study results were announced late last month.
The $1 million-plus study was commissioned by Washington State Ferries last year, after a superior court judge ordered the state ferry system to examine the impacts of its own high-speed ferry on Rich Passage, a narrow, six-mile stretch between the Kitsap Peninsula and Bainbridge Island. In an unprecedented ruling, the judge found that the ferry system should have conducted an environmental assessment under the state environmental policy act.
The ruling was later reversed by the state supreme court, a short time before the environmental study was complete.
The story of the Chinook has many differences but also many striking similarities with the developing story of high-speed ferry service between New Bedford and the Vineyard.
Among other things, the Chinook was hailed as an important element in the effort to revitalize the city of Bremerton and diversify the economy there. When the high-speed ferry was put into service, property values went up and the demand for property skyrocketed in Bremerton.
The ferry was first launched in the spring of 1998. The 350-passenger high-speed passenger boat cost $8.7 million to build, plus the ferry company spent another $650,000 to buy spare parts for the boat.
A year later, residents of Rich Passage sued the state ferry system, claiming the waves from the jet-propelled high-speed passenger ferry were causing erosion and other environmental damage along their beaches.
In August of 1999 King County superior court Judge Glenna Hall ordered the Chinook to slow down from 34 knots to 12 knots for a two-and-a half-mile stretch in Rich Passage, until an environmental study commissioned by the ferry system was complete. The judge did not rule on the merits of the environmental damage, but she said expressly that Washington State Ferries should have conducted an environmental study before putting the Chinook into operation in the spring of 1998.
The ruling was followed by an editorial in the Seattle Times.
"Is this new generation ferry to blame? . . . Precious little homework was done on the effect of wakes from a catamaran ferry traveling at 35 mph. . . . Belated environmental assessments are now under way," the editorial said in part.
"We are complying," responded Paul Green, the director and chief executive officer for Washington State Ferries in a stinging response to the editorial. He also wrote:
"Washington State Ferries is committed to providing fast ferry service to Bremerton. We support the efforts of Kitsap County to diversify its economy and share in our region's current prosperity. We have no doubts that the passenger-only fast-ferry program has suffered a temporary setback. . . . In the long run, however, we believe a thorough scientific review of what's happening in Rich Passage will conclude that the Chinook is not the source of the problem."
Two weeks ago the report was released, and scientists concluded without question that the Chinook is a primary contributor to the problem.
The Chinook slowdown will add 10 minutes to the 30-minute trip. It also means the ferry system will have to eliminate two trips a day from the schedule.
Area commuters are unhappy about the slowdown, but residents of Rich Passage - who say their shoreline has taken a beating from the huge wake generated by the ferry - are rejoicing.
"Gridlocked commuters . . . will be rolling their eyes over the protests of an extra 10 minutes to the daily ferry commute. So much for laid-back island life," declared an editorial in the Seattle Times.
Rich Passage residents continue to press their case in court; among other things, they want the ferry system to pay for repairing the environmental damage caused by the ferry.
A press spokesman for Washington State Ferries yesterday said environmental impacts from high-speed ferries is a growing - and global - problem.
"We are finding that this is something that is not just regional but worldwide - it's a huge issue," said Pat Patterson.
"Every ferry system in the world is trying to figure out how to grapple with fast ferries. The science and the technology is forever evolving," she said: "This is not just about the fast ferry. It's about the fast ferry and all the other vessels and the bulkheads and the tides and the currents. We had made the commitment when this started that if we were part of the problem we would be part of the solution, and that is why we are now agreeing to slow down the ferry [Chinook].
"We are hopeful that when we have the money - and that is the really big problem - that we will be able to develop a fast ferry that can run through Rich Passage."

After each suffering back-to-back losses, Dan Hornbuckle (22-5 MMA, 3-3 BFC) and Wilson Reis (12-4 MMA, 5-4 BFC) have each been released from their Bellator Fighting Championships' contracts.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the roster moves with sources close to the fighters.
Both fighters each recently suffered season-five tournament quarterfinal bouts – Hornbuckle in the welterweight division and Reis in the bantamweight class.
Hornbuckle debuted for Bellator in the company's season-two 170-pound tournament, submitting Tyler Stinson and Steve Carl en route to the season's tournament final, where he fell short via decision to no 170-pound champion Ben Askren.
Hornbuckle then defeated Brad Blackburn at Bellator 25 to earn a spot in the company's season-four welterweight tournament, where he was quickly ousted by Brent Weedman in the opening round. Hornbuckle then dropped a decision to Luis Santos at September's Bellator 49 event, again falling short in the opening round.
Meanwhile, Reis has fought nine times under the Bellator banner, making his debut in the company's very first season. Eventual tournament winner Joe Soto bounced Reis in the semifinals of Bellator's debut featherweight tournament. He returned in season two and was again beaten in the semifinals, this time by Patricio "Pitbull" Freire.
Freire again defeated Reis in the semifinals of Bellator's season-four tournament, prompting a move to 135 pounds. Unfortunately for Reis, he was defeated by Eduardo Dantas in the opening round of the company's season-five bantamweight tourney.

With 16 MP and mystic balance you can CYDSTEPP three times on a prebuff with a full tank of mana and then chain on Namtar's ward for a fourth. Add in a level-up catapult and you've got two more CYDSTEPP castings and another use of Namtar's Ward. It can be trivial to get an assured 10-hit chain, and if you throw refreshment and mana/schadenfreude potions into the mix you're in the same league as the vicious indomitable.
