The Daedalus Encounter is an interactive movie puzzle adventure game developed by Mechadeus and published by Virgin Interactive for MS-DOS and 3DO. The premise of the game is that there are three space marines who have fought as part of an interstellar war. One of them, Casey, has been brought back to life by his partners after a space accident and he is now a brain grafted in a life-support system. In order to save themselves, the three characters and the player solve all sorts of puzzles.
The game follows a trio of space marines who fought in an interstellar war: Casey O'Bannon (the player character), Ariel Matheson (Tia Carrere) and Zack Smith (Christian Bocher). On a routine patrol, their ship is attacked by enemy fighters, and Casey is critically injured by a hunk of space debris. Casey's body is irreparably damaged, and by the time he wakes up from his comatose state, the war has ended, Ariel and Zack have embarked on a new career scavenging equipment from ships wrecked in the war, and he is now only a brain grafted in a life support system on their spaceship, the Artemis. So that Casey can take part in their ventures, Ariel and Zack have put him in control of a small flying probe. During a salvage mission, the trio crash into and are stranded on a derelict alien spacecraft, which is on a collision course with the star. It is up to Casey to help his partners and explore the mystery of the Daedalus spaceship.
During the exploration of the alien ship, Ari and Zack enter a Central Hub containing six doors in the shape of hexagons. They explore areas of the ship behind each door but do not find any navigational controls. However, Casey figures out how to manipulate a device in the room, activating an elevator which takes Ari, Zack and Casey up and out of the Central Hub.
The alien ship approaches the Sun and temperature inside starts to rapidly increase. The elevator brings Ari, Zack and Casey into a control room where the device (which the orbs were inserted into) vanishes, revealing a fish-shaped shell. Ari and Zack notice a live alien and Casey goes over to communicate with it.
Depending on the player's actions, the game proceeds to one of three endings:
- The alien ship reaches the Sun and the Artemis burns and explodes in the heat.
- The alien doesn't respond to Casey and Zack shoots it with his laser gun. The alien knocks Zack aside and attacks Ari. Ari kills the alien and the shell hatches into the Queen alien. Ari kills it and Casey changes the course of the ship, steering it away from the Sun. Ari assumes that Zack is dead and cries over his body, telling Casey that he was wrong about there being no such thing as a hopeless situation.
- The alien responds to Casey and as the alien ship reaches the star, a force field appears around the Artemis and protects it from the intense heat. The fish-shaped shell turns out to be an egg, which hatches into a giant red alien Queen. The live alien, Ari, Zack and Casey bow to it. In a voice over, Ari explains that the force field created by the creatures which called themselves "Seddy" protected them and the ship from the intense heat. The Krin either fled or were destroyed and the new Queen possessed "race memory" and being able to speak and know; she helped Casey's translation abilities, answered many of Ari's and Zack's questions and repaired the Artemis. Zack receives a transmission from the Daedalus, wishing them a safe voyage. Zack tells Casey that he was right about there being "no such thing as a hopeless situation" and tries to convince Ari to join him on the mattress in the station room. Ari says nothing, and Zack murmurs, "Or not," as the Artemis speeds off into outer space.
Casey can interact with the world through a small remote controlled flying probe, which is launched from the ship shortly after the start of the game. In this new form, Casey possesses limited ability to interact with his environment, his only way to communicate being through a yes/no interface and by emitting light pulses.
In order to save themselves, the trio must explore the huge alien ship and solve a large number of mind puzzles, such as connecting colored laser-beams with mirrors, unlock a door with rotating shapes, playing an advanced form of connect-the-dots with a computer interface, and one combat sequence, battling aliens called Krin. The puzzles are mixed with acting sequences from Carrere and Bocher, whose interaction with the player creates some light-hearted comedy. Numerous alternate scenes and clips were filmed and edited into game play. The alternate scenes appear depending on the player's choice of game play.
Production and release[edit]
The Daedalus Encounter was developed by Mechadeus and published by Virgin Interactive. The live-action segments were filmed on location on Cinerent Stage A in San Francisco.[1] The game was released for MS-DOS and 3DO. In the MS-DOS version, the video is in a window inside of an organic interface, but the player can hit the spacebar to play the video in full-screen mode. In the 3DO version, the video is full-screen.
Scott Wolf of PC Gamer gave the PC version a review score of 79%, calling it "a sincere attempt to make a program that works both as an interactive movie and game." Wolf praised it for its "smooth, beautiful video; variety of gameplay; and plenty of puzzles," but criticized "excessive sit 'n watch segments, and some really dumb dialog." He opined, "Ultimately, though, The Daedalus Encounter will still prove too shallow for hardcore gamers whose natural distrust of video may never dissipate, while casual gamers may appreciate the fine cinematics but find the puzzles too frustrating."[2] Entertainment Weekly gave the game a B+ and stated, "It seems that most CD-ROM producers still haven't figured out how to combine compelling interactive elements with slick movie-style visuals and storytelling.", citing a lengthy cinematic scene that culminates with an extremely short and basic gameplay sequence. However, they appended that "the game's high-tech scenery and foreboding scenario are engrossing enough to lead you through stretches during which you have nothing to do but watch." Like Wolf, they noted some "flubbed dialogue and inane plot developments", as well as awkward shifts in point of view.[3] Adrian Carmody of Quandary gave it 21⁄2 stars out of 5, and called it a big improvement over Critical Path, with better acting and "more intelligent gameplay." He recommended it to players who enjoyed Entombed, due to the similar gameplay element where every door is locked with a puzzle. He praised the hint system and ability to adjust the difficulty at any point, saying it lets the challenge accommodate each player. He described the graphics as "superb", praised the acting, and said the dialogue "is clear and neither tacky nor simplistic." One drawback he noted is how the save feature does not identify save points.[4]
Reviewing the 3DO version, Air Hendrix of GamePro called the game "a dazzling outer-space voyage fraught with puzzles, gorgeous graphics, more puzzles, a fascinating story line, and even more puzzles." He identified the high quality of the FMV, the compelling science fiction sounds and visuals, and the story line as high points, but opined that the interactivity is too infrequent to maintain most players' interest, particularly as the story sequences later become focused more on exploration than on plot development. He concluded the game to be "definitely worth a look."[5] Maximum gave it three out of five stars, commenting that "As far as gameplay goes, Daedalus is nothing more than an exercise in following instructions from your compatriots and completing tasks in a set order. But mentions must go to the quality of the FMV footage, by far the most superior effort of any format, and some of the trickier puzzles."[6]

Human hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase manifests distinct kinetic, physical, and immunologic properties. A comparison of the normal and spontaneously occurring mutant forms of the enzyme indicates that its deficiency results from a large number of different mutations on a structural gene which is located within the X chromosome. This striking genetic heterogeneity is associated with the development of two distinctive clinical syndromes, the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and a specific sub-type of gout.

China's Censorship Firewall Defeated
Tuan Nguyen

Sender E-mail
Censorship continues to be a big concern for China
A group of computer experts from the University of Cambridge claims that they are now able to circumvent the censorship mechanism that China uses to block unwanted content from reaching its citizens. Certain words are banned and certain websites are also banned. A user sitting within the country's network will not be able to reach websites for which the government has deemed inappropriate. China itself has
defended its right to police the Internet for its citizens
many times.
The group of researchers say that China's firewall is based on a a series of Cisco routers and the products work by censoring keywords. When a user wishes to access a websites that's banned, the router returns reset packets to the foreign website, severing the connection -- the data transmission is stopped at the foreign end-point. Using this bit of information on how the Cisco routers work, the researchers were able to find their way around the firewall by creating a system that ignores the reset packets sent by the Chinese routers.
Along with their discovery, the researchers also found that it was possible to create a denial-of-service (DoS) attack from within the firewall using the router's own blocking mechanisms. By masquerading the source IP address of a banned website to one that's within China's network, the researchers are able to ban users from within the network from accessing a Chinese government website for example.
Richard Clayton, spokesperson for the laboratory at the university told reporters that the researchers had reported the findings to the Chinese Computer Emergency Response Team.

RE: cat and mouse
Alright, I have a couple important points to make here.
1. Most people who look at child porn get it from freenet, not a website (google freenet if you've never heard of it), so censorship doesn't really come in to play in blocking it.
2. Education and medical treatment? The people looking at child porn aren't stupid OR medically sick. I wouldn't even say that they're mentally sick, two of my closest friends like child porn...and I also wouldn't like to see them in jail for life or gassed. It's easy to demonize people you've never met or interacted with, but most of the audience for child porn are normal people with friends, family, and a 40 hour a week job. Those of you proposing harsh punishments, imagine if you'd still feel that way if your best friend or your father was into child porn (you might say their not, but most people who are won't admit it due to the fact it's a crime).
3. If you really want to cut down on the issue people have, the abuse of children, you should bring the entire operation above ground. The fact that child porn's illegal is part of the problem, it means the guys who are making it operate out of basements, and usually use force to make kids not talk about it. People attracted to younger children have been around for thousands of years, and a long time ago it wasn't considered unusual to marry and sleep with a 13 year old. Child porn isn't going away, for better of for worse, so if you want to make sure the children involved with it aren't abused, the best way to do that is turn it into an industry with strict government supervision.
4. The people looking at child porn aren't the problem. In fact, I'd say it's good for them to have access to it. Since child porn became reasonably popular, child abuse rates have started dropping, since potential pedophiles can get their fix with pictures instead of real kids. It was the same way with rape-based porn.
5. Censoring anything, and I mean ANYTHING, is an incredibly slippery slope. In my opinion, all obscenity laws (a bunch of laws with a fancy word that lets courts violate the first amendment) should be discarded. Abusing children is bad, yes, but the way to stop it is to go after the people abusing the children. Pursuing people looking at child porn because they're supporting these businesses would be like blaming people who wore cotten clothes for slavery. It just doesn't make sense. And you can already see the effects of this now, in some places in america people aren't allowed porn featuring beastiality or necrophilia, or in some places even extreme BDSM. Hell, even having to bleep the word fuck on TV comes from obscenity laws. And if you try and further the censorship of one of these materials, things are just going to degrade further.
Hope not too many people are mad at me about that...I understand there are some very unpopular viewpoints in there, but hopefully you'll at least think about them. Feel free to make baseless accusations about my own sexual preferences or moral fiber below, I collect them (have a big text file).
"Let's face it, we're not changing the world. We're building a product that helps people buy more crap - and watch porn." -- Seagate CEO Bill Watkins

Thanks Neil!
Drove by this last week as I have many times over the last 40 years. Looks worse and worse. L+F Neil
You're Welcome and Thanks for the invite. I think I have some more photos that'll fit in those groups.
Thanks! I was in Philly just a couple of days prior to this but didn't see their LOVE sign.

A popular Spanish coffee drink, often served at breakfast. The proportions should be equal quantities milk and strong coffee. The ingredients and instructions include making the coffee with a French press, but you can substitute any very strong brewed coffee or espresso. I wouldn't recommend instant coffee or decaf as neither would likely be strong enough. The scalded milk will be sweeter than fresh milk, so keep that in mind when adding sugar. This recipe is from mrbreakfast.com. Times are estimates.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2⁄3 cup fresh ground coffee (use a darker roast, such as French roast, for best results)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups whole milk or 2 cups 2% low-fat milk
- sugar
- ground cinnamon (garnish) (optional)
- Place coffee in bottom of prewarmed French press. Add boiling water, replace lid (without lowering filter), and allow to brew for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place milk in a small saucepan. Bring just to boiling point (the first larger bubble breaking on surface), then reduce heat to barely simmering. Simmer gently for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until coffee is done.
- After the 5 minutes are up, depress plunger on press to strain grounds. Divide coffee evenly between 4 mugs. Add hot milk to each cup in equal amounts to coffee.
- Sweeten to taste. Garnish with a dash of cinnamon, if desired.

I detest milk but love coffee so when I'm doing Weight Watchers its always been a struggle to get my milk portions in for the day. This is a great way to do it. I subbed splenda for the sugar and had my "coffee flavored milk" to start my day. Thanks.
Absolutely the best way to start the day. Great flavor. The milk mellows out the dark rich flavor of the coffee perfectly. If you like Starbucks cafe lattes (love them) you should try this. Thanks so much for the post.
Wow this was great. I really enjoyed this thick, rich, sweet coffee. I garnished mine with lots of ground cinnamon. It was very very tasty. I will make this again, thanks for sharing Halcyon Eve.

The clinical expression of migraine is significantly impacted by dietary and gastrointestinal issues. This includes gut dysfunction during and between attacks, food triggers, increase in migraine with obesity, comorbid GI and systemic inflammation influenced by diet, and specific food allergies such as dairy and gluten. Practitioners often encourage migraineurs to seek consistency in their lifestyle behaviors, and environmental exposures, as a way of avoiding sudden changes that may precipitate attacks. However, rigorous evidence linking consistency of diet with improvement in migraine is very limited and is, at best, indirect, being based mainly on the consistency of avoiding suspected food triggers. A review of current data surrounding the issue of dietary consistency is presented from the perspective of migraine as an illness (vulnerable state), as a disease (symptom expression traits), and with a view toward the role of local and systemic inflammation in its genesis. Firm recommendations await further investigation.

In the current economic climate, many investors have suffered losses on investments and from uncollectible debts. The deductibility of such losses depends on the nature of the investment, whether the investment is a capital asset, whether the investment is totally worthless, the nature of the investor (e.g. individual, corporation or other artificial entity). It is important to keep in mind the distinction between a bad debt and a loss. The deductibility of losses is governed by IRC§165, while the deductibility of bed debts is governed by IRC§166.
The first question to be answered is whether the investment is a "security," which IRC§165(g) defines as including:
An interest in a partnership or limited liability company is not a security.
The first two elements of this definition should not present any problems in interpretation. With respect to the third, interest coupons have been virtually obsolete since 1982 when Congress imposed severe impediments to issuing bearer bonds. "Registered form" means that ownership can be transferred only on the books of the issuer or on the books of a transfer agent appointed by the issuer. Thus, a negotiable promissory note which may be transferred to a holder in due course without any participation by the obligor is not a "security" in the context of IRC §165(g) even though it may be a security for other purposes of the Internal Revenue Code.
No deduction is permitted for partial worthlessness of a security. The security must be entirely worthless as evidenced by various factors. Such factors may include filing of Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the fact that the liabilities greatly exceed the assets of the corporation and that the corporation has no intrinsic worth.
In addition, the taxpayer must establish that the security had value at the beginning of the taxable year and lost its value during the year.
Alternatively, if the investor cannot establish to the satisfaction of the Service that an investment is wholly worthless and cannot sell the security in an arms length transaction, the investor may abandon the security. The regulations require that in order to abandon a security, the investor must permanently surrender and relinquish all rights in the security and receive no consideration in exchange for the security. All facts and circumstances determine whether a transaction is properly characterized as an abandonment or other type of transaction.
An individual may deduct a loss for a worthless security only if the loss is (1) incurred in a trade or business, (2) incurred in a transaction entered into for profit, or (3) incurred as a result of casualty or theft.
Losses from worthless securities are usually a loss from the sale or exchange of a capital asset and allowed to the extent of the rules applicable to capital losses. Losses from the following may be claimed as ordinary losses:
When IRC §165 does not apply because the investment is not a security, IRC§166, dealing specifically with bad debts, may permit a deduction.
Unlike IRC §165, which does not permit deductions unless the investment is wholly worthless, IRC §166 permits a deduction for partially worthless debts when the Internal Revenue Service is satisfied that a debt is recoverable only in part.
A loss, whether from partial or full worthlessness of a debt acquired in the course of a trade or business, is deductible in computing ordinary income. That is not the case for a nonbusiness bad debt. A nonbusiness bad debt is any debt other than (1) a debt created or acquired in connection with a trade or business of the taxpayer, or (2) a debt the loss from the worthlessness of which is incurred in connection with the taxpayer's trade or business.
Where a nonbusiness bad debt become worthless within the taxable year, the loss is classified as a short term capital loss and the availability of a deduction is determined under the rules for capital losses.
No investor makes an investment intending to lose money, but investors should be prepared to prove to the IRS that every effort was made to recover the money invested.

GE salmon moves closer to approval?
A salmon treated with AquAdvantage Salmon (background) compared to an Atlantic salmon of the same age (foreground) Photo: Barrett & McKay/AquaBounty Technologies
America's AquaBounty Technologies has announced that the FDA's Environmental Assessment of its AquAdvantage Salmon treatment is due for publication, a significant part of the FDA approval process for the product.
Ron Stotish, chief executive officer, AquaBounty Technologies, said: "We are delighted that the Environmental Assessment (EA) is to be published for comment, which brings us a major step closer to approval. The revival of the science based review process is encouraging and we look forward to a successful conclusion based on the merit of the product."
The EA will be subject to a 60 day period for public comment though. The FDA is also making its preliminary finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) available for comment – the September 2010 meeting of the Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee concluded that GM salmon is indistinguishable from other Atlantic salmon, is safe to eat and does not pose a threat to the environment.
But the FDA has not given an indication of how the process or associated timing will proceed after the conclusion of the period for public comment. This is likely to be a lengthy process because the concept of GE salmon has been met with quite a lot of scepticism and criticism from American consumers so far.
Aquabouty's AquAdvantage Salmon product consists of Atlantic salmon eggs that contain a growth hormone gene from the Chinook salmon. This provides the fish with the potential to reach market size in half the time of conventional Atlantic salmon. Were approval of AquaBounty's treatment to be granted, the fish can only be grown in physically contained systems at approved facilities.

lots of oregano--smells great!
Posted by Reviewer1881179 on Apr 18, 2013
Just want to alert people that the one pound of dried oregano that I ordered filled four one-quart mason jars with wonderfully fresh dried oregano, full of oregano scent. From my research, dried herbs stay fresh for 1-3 years. I use a lot of herbs in my cooking, so expect to use them within this time period. At .60 cents per ounce, definitely a savings even to buying the in bulk by the ounce at my local organic market. If you don't need this much you could share with friends.
Fine, but depends on what you want.
Posted by 5223972155575018184 on May 27, 2013
I do not mind this oregano product. However, there is one important thing you need to know. Some silly person here claimed that this is not oregano, but that is false. It most certainly is oregano, but it is vulgar oregano, which is very powerful, smelling just like oregano oil that you buy, because this is the type of oregano that is used to make oregano oil. It is different from the milder oregano that most people are used to buying in the supermarket.
This is Oregano, much better than our local stores have.

From what I can tell, this oregano is of good quality and I sure like the taste! Strong and fresh! I like the big bag too, as that makes it very economical, just make sure to store it in an airtight container away from heat/sunlight. Very happy with this purchase, and I will buy again when I need more.

LAC Seeks Greater Safeguards in Removal Proceedings for Immigrants with Mental Disabilities
Released on Thu, Sep 16, 2010
Earlier this week, the American Immigration Council's Legal Action Center (LAC), the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and the Pennsylvania Immigration Resource Center filed an amicus brief with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) urging the government to protect the rights of immigrants whose mental disabilities prevent them from participating meaningfully in their own removal hearings. "This is particularly disturbing given that these immigrants are not granted court-appointed counsel in removal proceedings" said Melissa Crow, Director of the Legal Action Center.

Amare Stoudemire puts energy on Sheets, fashion
Updated: May 4, 2011, 10:44 AM ETBy Kyle Stack
It was eminently apparent last Wednesday how Twitter has helped transform product marketing when Denver Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari sent a tongue-in-cheek message to his followers that played off his Italian accent. The viral video that accompanied his tweet, in which he bluntly seems to offend a reporter in a mock interview, formed the first word on a new dietary supplement produced by Purebrands, LLC called Sheets energy strips.
The product, co-founded by entrepreneur Warren ...

The drive read/write speeds are a little on the slow side but reasonable. I timed some file transfers on my computer (Dell Optiplex 380):
* For read speeds, I averaged 16.1 MB/s (ranged from 10 MB/s to 18 MB/s).
* For write speeds, I averaged 6.8 MB/s (ranged from 4 MB/s to 11 MB/s).
In general, larger files took longer to transfer than smaller files (single 300 MB file took longer to move than one hundred 3 MB files). Other users with the same device have reported an average of 17-18 MB/s read speeds and 11-12 MB/s write speeds. These are considered to be AVERAGE speeds for usb flash drives. If speed is of the essence, then look for a high speed drive that can read/write 30 MB/s or faster. If you're mostly transferring documents, photos, and other small files, then these speeds should suffice.
Another small complaint. I do not feel a 'click' when the drive is inserted fully. So I just push until it won't go in anymore or when I see that the computer has recognized the drive. A minor annoyance in an otherwise great USB drive.
I highly recommend this drive. While the speed on this device is not top notch, its performance is reliable and it comes in a great little package.
|Length: 1:06 Mins
UPDATE 2- April 1st, 2014: I've had the DataTraveler on my keychain for over two years now.... it still works perfectly and there are absolutely no issues. I am incredibly rough with my keys (which I keep attached to my wallet and throw around constantly) and still, it keeps working. The 'average' write speeds have never been an issue for me.
STURDINESS: I thought when I ordered the Kingston DataTraveler SE9 -simply judging by the images- that it was a plastic casing, but was pleasantly surprised that it's a durable aluminum casing.
SPEED: As you can see in the video a speed test shows that the WRITE SPEED tests just under 15MB/second and the READ SPEED tests just under 20MB/second, there is nothing impressive about this speed.
Regardless of the average speed- the incredibly appealing price, sturdiness and convenience of the product (the design creates a nice built-in key-ring) makes this an impressive product and I would definitely recommend it to friends!
A review from C. Blake Davis
Bought another one (this time a 32GB), and within a few months, the same thing happened. This time I snapped a picture. I cannot believe this passed quality testing. Do they just glue these chips into the case? That's pretty lame and insecure. If you buy one of these, buy some kind of cap so you don't lose the ship inside (along with your data). The speed was good and the looks were great. The actual build quality - highly lame. Sigh. Never again - have changed to a metal USB drive with a security cap t prevent something like this from happening again.
I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. We apologize for the issue experienced with the DTSE9H flash drives. We stand by our products and can replace them for you under their warranty. Please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Please be sure to have the part in question on hand when you call.
Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.
- Small. 39mm x 12.2mm x 4.5mm There are some flash drives that are a bit thinner at about 2.5mm, but you loose the advantage of having protected contacts.
- Tough all metal case. It could survive a lot more abuse than competing flash drives that are plastic. I have no concerns with leaving it on a keychain that gets tossed around.
- large strong metal loop for keychain or lanyard, inner diameter 8.4mm
- Decent speed, but not blazing fast: Large file writes 8MB/s, reads 17MB/s
- Cost was very competitive compared to all other 16GB drives, and less than others in this small size class.
- 5 year warranty
- open end is susceptible to dust or lint accumulation, it may need to be blown out periodically with compressed air. This is the tradeoff versus having a cap that may get lost.
- Does not fit into some machines. The mechanical tolerances are such that it will not plug into some machines without using so much force that you risk damaging the port on the computer. I've never experienced this problem with any other USB drive I've owned, and I have at least 10 different models including others from Kingston. There isn't any excuse for this and it's the reason I took off two stars - I can't use it in all "Universal" Serial Bus ports. Possibly with more insertion/removal cycles it will loosen up, but it should work fine right out of the box.
Bottom Line - if it fits the computers you need to use it with and high speed isn't a concern, it's a great little flash drive at a good price. But, if you need a drive that must work in any random computer you encounter such as at the library, this may not be the best choice.

Finally purchased this sunshade. Have been putting it off because of the price. Wish I'd purchased it sooner, finally a sunshade that fills the entire windshield. Not too sure how well it will keep the heat out, as it is not hot out, but seems like it will perform just fine. Likes this so much I purchased it for my other vehicle.

BoomBox consists of two versatile producers, DJs, songwriters, multi-instrumentalists and longtime friends Russ Randolph and Zion Rock Godchaux. Together they develop an electronic blend of vintage Rock and Blues made to move dance floors while incorporating their signature Backbeat, Psychedelia and Funky House sounds.
Applying a multi-track platform, they are free to create their hybrid style on the fly with a rhythm that moves fans and opens them up to Godchaux and Randolph's overall vision. Derived from the rich musical history of Muscle Shoals, AL, to the psychedelic rock and underground electronic scenes of the west coast, their unique approach can only be achieved by the blending of sound and culture.
For over a decade, ill-esha has been an integral part of the North American electronic scene. Beginning as a vocalist, she soon added MCing and DJing to her repertoire, creating a dynamic and unique live show which has headlined alongside artists.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, ChrisB. had Westcoast flavor from day one. A musician at a young age, ChrisB.'s life experiences have shaped the music he creates.

Hi...A much needed plugin. Thank you!
Here's my shortcode: [spaceboxes id="53767" columns="3" size="spaceboxes-medium-nocrop"]
I'm testing it on this page: http://www.collectorsbluebook.com/collectible-dealer-directory/ (scroll to bottom and you will see the space boxes underneath "Featured Resources".
So here's my question: How do I get this panel of three images to center? They are riding the left margin of the content area and I want to either increase the margin or padding to get them to center under the Featured Resource heading and in the content area. When I add css for padding or margin, it changes all the boxes.

Oleh Blokhin's side turned in an impressive display in a one-sided match on the eve of the announcement of the final squad for this summer's tournamentUkraine thrashed Estonia 4-0 in a friendly match in the Austrian city of Kufstein after dominating proceedings from the first whistle.
A dominant start from Oleg Blokhin's men saw them take the lead just nine minutes into the game as Andriy Yarmolenko fired an unstoppable shot past Mihkel Aksalu after receiving Serhiy Nazarenko's cut-back.
Oleh Husyev doubled Ukraine's lead near the half-hour mark from the penalty spot after Yarmolenko was brought down inside the Estonia box by Ragnar Klavan before Andrey Voronin bagged a third goal on 41 minutes with a close-range header.
Blokhin made several changes at half-time, including the introduction of Andriy Shevchenko, who orchestrated Ukraine's fourth goal. The former AC Milan star successfully dealt with the challenge of two Estonia defenders before assisting Artem Milevsky for the fourth goal of the night.
Ukraine will take on England, France and Sweden in the Euro 2012 group stage, with Blokhin due to announce his final squad for the tournament on Tuesday.

Every copy of Windows 7 includes a complete suite of backup tools. The suite contains everything you need to back up (and restore) your entire system.
What's more, after you've set up your initial backup, future backups happen automatically.
In fact, Windows 7 makes it so easy to set up fully automated backups, it's almost nutty not to do it.
But (you knew there had to be one) Windows 7's backup tools are based on a different philosophy than previous versions of Windows and so do not operate exactly as you might expect. Until you understand what Microsoft is trying to do, the differences can be confusing.
Win7's backup system has three major parts
The first component is designed to protect a system's user data — and nothing else. User data includes each user's locally stored library files plus the contents of the user folders and subfolders, such as AppData, Contacts, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Favorites, Links, Music, Pictures, Saved Games, Searches, and Videos.
Those folders contain a system's most valuable and rapidly changing data files — after all, your user files include all your documents, spreadsheets, e-mails, and so on. These are the files that need the most careful and frequent backups. As a result, the Windows 7 backup puts most of its emphasis on automatically protecting these files.
But the Windows 7 primary backup applet does not — repeat, does not — back up system folders or program files, even if you specifically select them or if they're inside a folder that's otherwise being backed up. The user-data backup process specifically excludes program files.

I came to know HVU through Sunburst Projects in Northern California where I volunteered as a camp counselor in the mid 1990's. HVU has incorporated in their services the camp concept for teenage girls and on my visit to Uganda I participated in the 2nd annual 3 day camp. The event was overwhelmingly heartfelt. Touching revelations from these young women entwined with song and dance created a life-changing experience for me.
I had an extraordinary experience this past November 2012 with Healthcare Volunteer Uganda. I spent almost a month in the Mubende region with the HVU team to experience up close the role they play to support HIV/Aids infected and affected women and their families as well as orphans and other vulnerable children. I visited 14 villages in 4 different sub-counties of the region and met hundreds of local people.
HVU organized a group in each village of 52 women who would gather to make crafts and in the process discuss and problem solve issues that may arise in their community. During my visits I had an opportunity to engage with the community to hear many issues they face: disease, poverty, inadequate or non-existent healthcare, domestic violence, lack of education, rape, and various stigmas. Together we shared our experiences in the life and did some troubleshooting to resolve some of the minor issues. Though the purpose of the visit was not necessarily to eliminate other's problems, it was about sharing our human spirit … to listen to each other … to care for one another in whatever way possible.
I came to Uganda to contribute something and maybe to inspire but I in turn was the one inspired. Isn't that what volunteerism is all about?

This answer was suggested when the question was:
Merely believing in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit leaves open too many possibilities, most of which were long ago ruled out as heresies. The Trinity is a label for the concept of a God who is a complex unity. If you say you are Trinitarian then you are saying you believe all three persons are divine, that all three are uncreated, that all three are equally eternal, that all three are distinct, that all three are united together, etc. You could still have the Father, Son and Holy Spirit while rejecting the trinity by believing any of the classical heresies. The Trinity may be hard to understand, but the heresies and the problems they lead to are often fairly straightforward.

"Guanajuato, winding streets, and strange sites" Top 5 Page for this destination Guanajuato by jonbarb709
Guanajuato Travel Guide: 217 reviews and 729 photos
This was one week that we will probably never forget. There is a mummy museum that is a must see. Diego Rivera's Museum and the Don Quixote Museum and just two of the great museums in this town over over 114,000. There is the Valenciana Mine and the San Ramon Mineshaft, both are open for you to visit. This town has massive tunnels right in the center of town, where traffic goes rather than the narrow streets. This is also a college town. Very little English is spoken here. The Jardin de la Union (center of town) offers everything from restaurants, theater, museums, and people watching.
I am sure that there are probably more but the two we visited and though they were extraordinary was the Cass de Capelo (Javier de Jusus Hernandez) known at Capelo has his workshop high above Guanjauato, past La Valenciana church. There are signs, if you decide to walk it is very long and straight up. You can take a bus and there is a stop just before the dirt road that goes steeply to the left of the highway. The other artist is Gorky Gonzalez. He has both a workshop and a restaurant.
- Pros:A town you can walk to almost everything. Bus is cheap
- Cons:Little English is spoken. Have change.
- In a nutshell:Enjoyable, great vacation.

Nice work like the new artwork
Oooh, loving that eye! Fierce and dramatic and glowy
Wow, this is a very beautiful dragon. I dont think it looks goofy at all
I like what you've done with the eyes
Oh nice o see a dragon from you again it has been a bit of time. I like the dark values you put into this pic as I see it fitting, besides the type of oil pastel look you did with all digital paint brushes. I also like how you made the eyes glowing red but not in a demonic kind of setting, instead rather calming if not cute almost, nice Birthday gift I do think that image make.
Love it very noble pose, and excellent rendering.
Did you get the word 'Tyr' from the book series the Age of Fire?
No-- this is someone else's character. I don't know where he got it from, honestly.
I don't know why.... but he looks huggable :] lol
