I have been dieting for about 7 weeks and my main meal is soup. I have eaten this soup every day for about 2 weeks and never tired of it. Prior to this one one, I ate minestrone (also the Progresso brand). If I was especially hungry, I would add red kidney beans to make it a little hardier, which didn't add too many calories just a little more bulk and protein. The diet is working and I'm ready to order more of this soup.
It's been difficult for me to find the Manhattan clam chowder locally, and I was happy to learn that Walmart has it available online. I like it well enough that the packaging of 12 cans minimum didn't deter me from ordering it. I had purchased the Progresso brand previously and knew it to be good, so I've stuck with it rather than order another brand I might not like as well. I do recommend this soup.
This product is not sold in any stores in my area, so I was delighted to find it online.

The modern physician hopes to prevent the development of the symptoms and signs of myocardial insufficiency. The clinical evidences of potential or latent asymptomatic heart disease are certain reliable criteria.1 The potentialities of the diagnosis should be recognized and a program for the postponement of heart failure inaugurated. It is desirable that one have a clear understanding and prompt interpretation of the derangements of the function which may insidiously put in an appearance in patients who had old healed heart lesions.

What happened to them?
chaos emeralds ftw!!
Those six stars are so beautiful, yet they make me so sad......what's to become of the ponies who showed us friendship through magic?
I certainly hope eventually I'll find out. All in all, beautiful comic, this is a truly heartfelt piece of work
I certainly hope eventually I'll find out. All in all, beautiful comic, this is a truly heartfelt piece of work
...Can you make that second panel a full fledged picture? Please?
I really hope to find out what happened to them soon, i just cant stop thinking about it. grate comic!
my only question is: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MANE SIX
Loving this so far. I maybe over thinking things here or just being stupid but......do i detect a hint of alan wake?
Oh Celestia, you're so brave!
This just shows how much Celestia cherishes and loved the mane six...emotionally touching!
Well, at least we know what the stained glass panel means......One hopes that at the end of the day, the seven of them come home in time for Luna and Derpy's victory over Gryphus.
I have no idea what's going on, but why cant i stop reading?
Maybe I'm dumb for asking, but which sparkle is which pony?
To the best of my knowledge,starting from the top and going clockwise, it goes: Twi, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie.
I figured it out! I watched "Elements of Harmony" today and the colors are the gems on their necklaces. Clockwise from the top, its Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity Applejack, Rainbow. Solved!
That's what I eventually decided. I just wasn't sure which was Pinkie and which was Twilight. But then, it IS 2:40 AM here, maybe I should look again tomorrow morning.
And I love this, btw.
Getting good..
I cannot wait for more!! This is soo cool sounding already! <3

Millennium Entertainment
October 11, 2011
Intruders is a disturbing film in which reality and imagination mingle and overlap. Juan (Izn Corchero) and Mia (Ella Purnell), two children living in different countries, are visited each night by a faceless intruder, a terrifying being who wants to take possession of them.
"'Intruders' is an accessible chiller with high entertainment value, but the film is also a smart, psychological journey which will appeal to sophisticated audiences," said Bill Lee, CEO of Millennium Entertainment. "The film resonated hauntingly with our team in Toronto, and we're enthused to work with Juan Carlos to bring the film to theatres this spring."
"It's been an absolute thrill to experience audience reactions to the film at Toronto and San Sebastian, and exciting to also have the team at Millennium respond so strongly," said Fresnadillo. "I look forward to working with them in bringing the film to North American audiences."
Fresnadillo's previous credits include Intact, 28 Weeks Later and the short film Esposados, which garnered an Academy Award nomination. Fresnadillo has also been tapped to direct the Highlander remake for Summit later this year.

Historical Traveler Reviews Sol Sirenas Coral Resort Varadero
Holiday Nightmare!
I recently came back from my vacation in Cuba at the Sol Coral-Sirenas resort. It was absolutely my WORST vacation ever!The resort is rated a 4 star, and should only be rated 2 if that. (The pools and beach are nice). The rooms on the other hand....my sheets had hair on it (that weren't mine!). The curtains and lamp shades were hugely stained. Plumbing issues throughout. Balcony door didn't lock and the room was constantly enveloped in a musty smell. My suggestion, pay an extra $100 and go to a 5 star! Yuck!
We just got bak from Sol Sirenas Coral ( Sol Club Coral and Sol Club Las Sirenas joined to make Sol Sirenas Coral) We got bak 1 week ago and our vacation was wonderful. We left from Toronto Airport , flights on time everything was perfect arrived there at about 10:30 a.m local time and as soon as we stepped outside the view was breathtaking. Palmtrees all around 25 degrees in mid day not himid at all, perfect weather. We were taken to the hotel about 20-25 minutes away since we made several stops to drop others off at their hotels. The resort itself is very beautiful. There are 2 hotels joined together and no matter in which one you stay, they are both very beautiful not to mention you have access to both and all facilities since it is an All Inclusive resort. We got our room at about 12 noon and it was very beautiful, clean, nicley arranged towels, and everything was very nice. Our maid did a good job throughtout the week aranging towels as swans and leaving little presents as well as notes. ( dont forget to tip!!!!!! about $5 a week) Lobby was beautiful LOTS of vegetation!!!!!!!!! and many restaurants to choose from. Despite what others have said about the A la Carte restaurants which need reservations, the food is EXCELLENT!!!!! even the chineese which was said to be bad NOT TRUE!! its very good!!! food was great , drinks even better unlimited any amount all day!, The pools are AMAZING, VERY big , not too deep but it gets deeper after, a free form pool with a swim up bar, music by the pool side surrounded with palmtrees everywhere. Make sure you take a walk to see the beautiful scenery, we took one every night, Sirenas resort has THE MOST BEAUTIFUL grounds i have ever seen.!!!! many paths, hammocks, jacuzzi's, trees!, plants, an occasionlal lizard but not to worry they run away when they see you!! The beach was wonderful, crystal clear water with a turquoise colour, bar on the beach, buffet on beach, snack bar, beach is cleaned daily, umbrellas and chairs and lined up every night. EVerything isomend it to anyone !!! honeymooners, family's, couples anyone with children, There are numerous activities for children with supervision at the mini club, and they even participate in one of the nighly entertainement shows at the theatre. There is a mini golf area, tennis courts, More that you ever wanted to overall there is not one bad thing to say about this resort!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!
Best trip ever
We went for our honeymoon May 99. Sun was hot people were great, food and accomidations were excelent! Going back soon.
Great for the price
For the amount of money we paid for this trip, it was most certainly worth it! Rooms were always clean, food was ok, but there wasn't that much to choose from. You have to make the reservations to the specialty restaurants early to make sure you'll get in. Beach and water were the best!!! Snorkelling, swimming (anything to do with water)- you'll be satisfied with. Take the snorkelling/horseriding tour - it is really nice. We are going back to Varadaro to get married this year. Dmitri and Evguenia
Excellente !!!!!!!!
We had an excellent time at the sol club coral(AUG 2002), booze was ever flowing and it just didn,t stop(didn't Carlos the barman have BIG muscles), all staff we great extremely helpful, food was really good for an all inclusive. Not enough brits there, but we are there to mix and mingle with other nationalities. Must be good as we are returning Aug 2003.My ONE fault was the night entertainment was too short, although was very good, really funny on occassions. I would advise anyone to visit. try it you will LUV IT!!!!!!!!!!
Crazy Crazy Crazy
It was one of the best times of my life. The rooms were great, the booze was flowing and the sun was shining. Also, the workers were very friendly and met all of our needs.
Terrible stay!!!!!
We were bumped from a 5 star to this 3 star , never any clean beach towels, no extra blankets for rooms, limited toilet paper in dirty public washrooms, staff resentful and nasty at times. leaky roof throughout lobby, food was o.k. at best
Thank goodness for the beautiful beach and sunny weather or we would have all cried. We saw many other properties on the strip that were so much nicer. Please choose carefully.
Love Cuba
Stayed there for NewYear 2002.
May not be the greatest as far as food is concerned but well above average. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Beach and pool are clean and offer all amenities. Very good value for the $$.
Would return anytime.
Great pick for budget travelers
From Aleks, Montreal
December 15, 2002
AirTransat, decent and on time out of Montreal. 60 minutes delay on the way back, although some people that returned a bit earlier experienced few hours of delay.
Seats are rather narrow, but legroom was Ok.Full service and movies made the experience more pleasant.Check in on the way back was slow and long ( 90 minutes).Overall, price/quality ratio very good -3.5 out of 5.
Now merged with the newer Sol Sirenas , it is part of a bigger Sol Melia complex.Sol Coral is the more lively one and with more activities and somewhat better food than Sirenas. Stay at Sirenas if no kids ( nicer and more secluded facility) , otherwise Coral is a better bet.
Rooms are decent and air conditioning is not noisy.Room service expects a tip of at least a dollar a day.
Restaurant stuff during the day consists mostly of amateurs and students. They are slow, confused, even rude and always expect tips and gifts in order to help you.
At night time, there is a set of experienced waitresses who are much more pleasant and friendlier.This will be closer to what you expect from Cubans.
Pools are nice and clean but not deep enough.Setting around the pools is very nice.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Limited choice and not enough of quality food.Taste is OK, but you need to be fast to get the better stuff.
If you stick to few of the sure choices : chicken, potatoes, fruits, yogurt, soup, pizzas you will be fine.Bottled water is a must.
WARNING: Stay away from the Beach grill, there were cases of very severe food poisoning ( raw and contaminated burgers, poor hygiene as well) and some people got violently sick for a day or two.That is a zero star place, so you are taking a big risk eating there.
Rating 3 out of 5, as I have seen much worse food being served in Cuba.
Excellent, wide and clean beach, ocean swimaballe most of the time, no big crowds.Reason for happiness and joy. Great for kids as well
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
Excellent for kids, somewhat limited for adults .There are few busy and very noisy clubs in Varadero, where you can continue your night life after 11:15 p.m when all hotels go to sleep.
Rating 3.5 out of five.
Closing remarks:Overall Rating 3.5 out of 5
Good and less expensive then most hotels in 4 star range, Sol Sirenas Coral is a value choice.
As for the guys that sell cigars on the beach , report them to police a.s.a.p. as they only sell fake and stale goods. Do not take anything from them, no matter how "good" the deal looks like.
Sol Club Coral Varedaro - Terrible food and Drinks
The rooms, pool and beach here are fantastic. However if you value you stomach, dont stay here. The food all tasted the same, dinner would become breakfast and their idea of a caeser salad involved, cabbage, oil and vinegar, carrots and 1 piece of anchovy. I would never come back to cuba again because of the food, and I'm not a picky eater. As for the extra trips, although we enjoyed them, they are expensive and the tour guides beg for more money at the end.

Watch: Rooney Mara talks David Fincher's working style in 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'
According to Rooney Mara, the shoots for the incredibly dark, violent and criminal "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" was "probably more fun than we should have."
The 26-year-old actress has stepped up to the plate as as the movie and films' namesake, aka Lisbeth Salander, which also happens to be her biggest role yet. The audition process for the film was notoriously tough, and the hours, as others have said, are longer, due to director David Fincher's propensity for multiple takes, sometimes up to 40 or 50 of the same scene.
In her interview with HitFix, Mara called it a "focused, intense way of working." To say the least, particularly in working with "James Bond" lead Daniel Craig.
Check out what Rooney would have asked "Dragon Tattoo" series author Stieg Larsson were he still alive.
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" was released on Wednesday (Dec. 21). Here is HitFix's interview with Craig.

Roxbury man is charged in theft of two generators
BARRE A Roxbury man told Vermont State Police he took two generators from a camp in September so he could jump start his vehicle, and was planning to give them back.
Francis R. Jones, 27, pleaded not guilty to felony burglary in Washington County criminal court in Barre Thursday. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and a $1,000 fine.
According to the state police affidavit, the owner of a camp on Cram Hill Road in Roxbury reported someone had broken the front door to his camp and stolen a generator from inside. Another generator on the outside of the camp was also missing. Both generators were valued at around $1,000.
Neighbors told state police they had seen two men walking on Cram Hill Road. Police were also told that one of the suspects had been known to live with Jones.
When the authorities subsequently arrived at the Jones residence, a trooper saw a generator that matched the description of one of the stolen generators. It was hanging out of the back of a GMC Jimmy that belongs to Jones and was sitting in the driveway.
The owner of the camp had found a piece to a vehicles bumper in the camps driveway, which the state police took as evidence, and the trooper said the bumper piece matched a piece missing from the GMC Jimmy.
State police seized the vehicle on suspicion that it contained stolen property. Jones soon after called the state police wanting to know why his vehicle was towed. The trooper on the case told Jones about the burglary investigation and state police say Jones then admitted to taking the generators.
According to state police, Jones said he was off-roading when his vehicle broke down. He said he ran out of gas and wore out the battery trying to get the vehicle free.
Jones told state police he and another man went looking for gas and a battery. They came upon the camp and Jones said he took the generators and a gas can. State police say Jones claimed he was going to return the generators. According to state police, Jones said if he intended to keep the generators he would have hidden them instead of leaving one in plain sight hanging out of his vehicle.
Jones turned over the second generator, was cited for burglary, and picked up his vehicle at the Middlesex state police barracks. State police said it had a flat tire and a dead battery.

Long-term unemployment, persistent underemployment and the high cost of food, gas, utilities and rent are forcing more and more people to seek emergency food.
The need for emergency food is unprecedented. For the third year in a row, the OFB Network distributed more than 1 million emergency food boxes in Oregon and Clark County, Wash.
270,000 people per month eat meals from emergency food boxes. That's half of Portland's population. Of those, 92,000 are children. Since the beginning of the Great Recession in 2008, emergency food box distribution has increased 41 percent.

EPA, Interior Dept. chiefs will be busy cleaning up Bush's crap
The Washington Post has a good piece on the Herculean effort the new heads of the EPA and Interior Department will face in dealing with the mess the Bushies made. This mess is comparable to the one Hercules cleaned up in his fifth labor when he diverted an entire river to clean up the Augean Stables.
The article also includes the long list of the names that have been floated so far for both agencies
Few federal agencies are expected to undergo as radical a transformation under President-elect Barack Obama as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Interior Department, which have been at the epicenter of many of the Bush administration's most intense scientific and environmental controversies.
The agencies have different mandates — the EPA holds sway over air and water pollution, while Interior administers the nation's vast federal land holdings as well as the Endangered Species Act — but both deal with some of the country's most pressing environmental concerns, such as climate change. And over the past eight years, many career employees and rank-and-file scientists have clashed with Bush appointees over a number of those of issues, including whether the federal government should allow California to regulate tailpipe emissions from automobiles and how best to prevent imperiled species from disappearing altogether.
In June 2007, Obama told reporters in Reno, Nev., that he would not hesitate to reverse many of the environmental policies Bush has enacted by executive order.
"I think the slow chipping away against clean air and clean water has been deeply disturbing," Obama added. "Much of it hasn't gone through Congress. It was done by fiat. That is something that can be changed by an administration, in part by reinvigorating the EPA, which has been demoralized."
Global warming policies are expected to mark one of the sharpest breaks between the Obama and the Bush administrations.
EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson overruled his career advisers in deciding to deny California authority to control tailpipe emissions and rejecting their conclusion that global warming poses a threat to public welfare, and Obama is likely to reverse both of those policies shortly after taking office. This month, the president-elect told delegates to the Governors' Global Climate Summit that he would push for a federal cap-and-trade system designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and then to cut them an additional 80 percent by 2050, targets Bush has never embraced.
"Delay is no longer an option. Denial is no longer an acceptable response," Obama said in a videotaped message. "The stakes are too high, the consequences too serious."
Jamie Rappaport Clark, executive vice president of the advocacy group Defenders of Wildlife, said that together, the two agencies will help shape the government's response to climate change.
Clark, who headed the Fish and Wildlife Service under President Bill Clinton, is not a formal Obama adviser, but many of her former Clinton colleagues are helping the transition team, including David Hayes, a partner at Latham & Watkins; John Leshy, a professor at the University of California's Hastings College of the Law; and Robert Sussman, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.
"EPA will play the lead role in crafting a regulatory response," Clark said. "Interior has a huge role to play in adaptation" — the effort to cope with climate changes that are already happening, such as drought and more frequent wildfires.
EPA spokesman Jonathan Shradar said Wednesday that the agency is focused on finalizing policies on coal-fired power plants and other matters, but he would not speculate on the task the next administration faces: "We'll let the next team decide what their priorities will be when they get here."
With escalating responsibilities, both agencies will need more resources after years when their budgets shrank, relatively speaking. The EPA received $7.5 billion from Congress in 2008, down from $7.8 billion in 2001. Interior has fared slightly better, getting $11.1 billion compared with $10.4 billion in 2001, but that represents more than a 10 percent cut in inflation-adjusted dollars.
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), who as chairwoman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee has feuded with both Johnson and Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne over global warming and other issues, said in an interview that she has high expectations of the people who will take their places.
"I'm expecting President-elect Obama to select people who really care about the issues they're in charge of, someone who believes in their mission and not someone who's going to undermine their mission," she said. "That's a sea change."
There is a long list of Democrats vying to take the helm of both agencies. The two leading contenders for EPA administrator are Mary Nichols, a favorite of Boxer's who chairs the California Air Resources Board, and Lisa Jackson, who is in the midst of switching from heading New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection to serving as chief of staff to New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine. Other possible nominees include Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Kathleen McGinty; Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles; former Sierra Club president and environmental activist Lisa Renstrom; and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Pace University law professor and chairman of the Waterkeeper Alliance, another advocacy group.
The list for Interior is almost as long. Two House Democrats, Raul M. Grijalva (Ariz.) and Mike Thompson (Calif.) are contenders, but Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, former Oregon governor John Kitzhaber, National Trust for Historic Preservation President Richard Moe, as well as three former Interior officials — David Hayes, John Leshy and Clark at Defenders of Wildlife — have all been mentioned.
Regardless of who takes over at the agencies, the new leaders will face impatient scrutiny from green groups eager to change the government's trajectory on the environment. Frank O'Donnell, who heads the advocacy group Clean Air Watch, ticked off 10 initiatives he expects the new EPA administrator to undertake, including changing rules on emissions from coal-fired power plants and monitoring airborne lead pollution more closely.
"The Bush administration has cut so many special deals for industry that it could be a Herculean effort reversing them all," O'Donnell said. "The new team is going to have to muck out the regulatory stables."
Kudos to O'Donnell for the extended metaphorical reference to Hercules' Fifth Labor: Cleaning up the Augean Stables. Hercules cleaned the mess up by diverting the River Alpheus to pass through the stables. After eight years of crapping on the American public — and the world — the a bomb administration may have to divert a couple of rivers.

Love your site.Kudos.
Have you have a chance to read the US Chamber of Commerce's plan?
I am browsing it and my initial reaction is heavy on business, lite on dealing with climate change.
Issues so far are:
"Revising the Clean Air Act for which it was orginally intended, rescend the DC Appeals Court decion"…my concern is that if the CAA is open for reform it will be open the door for likes of the proposed Palumbo changes (past decade). Further, just like the EPA obstructed changes under Bush, it can be used as a lever by Obama to force changes in the absence of Congressional action (one filibuster by Imhofe)…
While there is strong changes in the tax code to promote targeted investment, and faster depreciation of assets(which interesting enough may increase costs to consumers)…i am not sure that there is adequate focus on carbon tax/pollution tax/climate damage charge…(note: they did want to restrict any such activity that may be used by government to fund research…"Climate polices should not promote wind fall taxes to government"….I guess this opens the door to tax and dividend?
"Any climate change policy should be conditional on international agreement" Thus the chicken and egg dilemna remains open…."What about China?" Good grief, lack of leadership here.
There seems to be an unusual focus on data transparency…What's the issue here? Is data not currently being shared?
Lastly, in not so many words, seems to promote "Drill, baby, drill", on the shelf and Anwar.

First, I assume there are legit transparency issues to be resolved before international agreements could work properly.
But the way the summary you link uses it, it sounds like they may be looking to strengthen the Data Quality Act. This is a cute little law slipped onto the books in 2001 without any discussion.
One way the law been
misused –
And here's how US Chamber of Commerce tried to game to the decisions. In this case it was unsuccessful, even with their pals in charge –
Sorta on topic, global warming is hard on soils:
OT, but did you see this over at TPM? ? ? My jaw dropped.
based on this letter from the western states governors to Obama asking for GHG reductions
It's not perfect of course, but . . . wow.
George W. Bush wrecked the whole government, not just a few departments. I retired from the Department of Defense in 2004. GWB contracted out the DOD, putting the foxes in charge of the chicken coop. GWB likes "efficient" bureaucrats. An "efficient" bureaucrat just hands the check to the contractor. I was an "INefficient" bureaucrat. I demanded weapons that actually worked in exchange for the check.
Here is how to put an end to the burning of coal to make electricity: Tell the American public that coal contains uranium.
It is easy to shut down coal fired power plants. Just make them follow the same
rules that nuclear power plants have to obey.
Clean coal is coal that stays in the ground undisturbed.
Coal is mostly carbon, but the complete list of impurities in coal includes every
element in the periodic table. The major impurities are, depending on where
you found it: URANIUM, ARSENIC, LEAD, MERCURY, Antimony, Cobalt,
Nickel, Copper, Selenium, Barium, Fluorine, Silver, Beryllium, Iron, Sulfur,
Boron, Titanium, Cadmium, Magnesium, Calcium, Manganese, Vanadium,
Chlorine, Aluminum, Chromium, Molybdenum and Zinc. Coal smoke and
cinders are commercially viable ORE for the above elements. Chinese industrial
grade coal contains much more arsenic than American coal. Chinese industrial
grade coal is sometimes stolen by peasants for cooking. The result is that the
whole family dies of arsenic poisoning. Coal varies a lot. You have to analyze
it not only mine by mine but even lump by lump. Coal is a rock. It comes out
of the ground. What would you expect of a rock?

The truth is, all natural rocks contain most natural elements. Coal is a rock.
The average concentration of uranium in coal is 1 or 2 parts per million. Illinois
coal contains up to 103 parts per million uranium. A 1000 million watt coal
fired power plant burns 4 million tons of coal each year. If you multiply 4
million tons by 1 part per million, you get 4 tons of uranium. Most of that is
U238. About .7% is U235. 4 tons = 8000 pounds. 8000 pounds times .7% =
56 pounds of U235. An average 1000 million watt coal fired power plant puts
out 56 to 112 pounds of U235 every year. There are only 2 places the uranium
can go: Up the stack or into the cinders.
Since a reactor full fuel load is around 11 tons of 2% U235 and 98% U238, and
one load lasts about 10 years, and what one coal fired power plant puts into the
air and cinders fully fuels a nuclear power plant.
Compare 4 Million tons per year with 1.1 tons per year. 1.1 divided by 4 Million
= 2.75 E -7 = .000000275 =.0000275%. Remember that only 2% of that is
U235. The nuclear power plant needs ~44 pounds of U235 per year. The coal
fired power plant burns coal by the trainload. The nuclear power plant consumes
U235 in such small quantities yearly that you could carry that much weight in a
briefcase. The full fuel load and the years between fueling varies from reactor to
reactor, but one truck can carry the weight of a full nuclear fuel load.

Critical information was transmitted between the palaces and a central IT center through a client-side virtual private network (VPN) over Integrated Services Digital Network lines. To improve security, the company implemented a solution based on Microsoft® Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006, part of the Microsoft Forefront™ line of business security products. Now, the palaces can use a VPN to transmit data more securely. Remote management tools also make administration easier, and automated deployment helps the company reduce costs. Moreover, because the flexible solution is independent from bandwidth technology, the company can easily adapt to data service connection changes.

We have changed the schedule for the Thursday of the Summer Conference. One of the Welsh Conference meetings has been replaced by a Thursday lecture.
The intention is to give an opportunity to deal with some important and current matter. In future years we hope to deal with the dangers of New Calvinism, New Covenant Theology and the concerns about the recent emphasis on Christian counselling. Other matters might be the dangers of moralism and the new evangelical liberalism. It is also hoped to cover important and positive matters as the need of the Holy Spirit and gospel preaching.
Malcolm Watts will speak at the inaugural lecture. He will give an overview of the many threats we face as a church.
If we knew something of the gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit in this conference, it makes one wonder what would the stronger winds of a visitation be like. We long for such things ... read more ...

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

The phrase "that's so gay" has traditionally been understood as homophobic. Yet the initial findings from my interviews with 40 gay youths from four universities suggests a more complex picture, with no clear agreement on what the phrase means or its effects.
Consider Joe, a 19-year-old gay student at an elite university. He said: "I think it breaks down barriers between the straight and gay community ... I use it a lot." Similarly, Neil, gay and age 18, said: "I don't find it derogatory in any way, probably because I say it as well."
How are we to understand a phrase that older people find homophobic, but many younger people do not find offensive and even use themselves? We can only get to an answer by listening to the voices of young people and trying to understand their perspectives.
My interest in the phrase "that's so gay" developed when I researched straight male students, ages about 16-18. These young men had openly gay friends, supported gay rights and condemned homophobia. Yet several of them would also say "that's so gay" when frustrated. Given that labeling these students homophobic would be ridiculous, it was vital to consider how they were using this language and the reasons why.
All of the men in my research insisted that they did not intend to be homophobic when they used the phrase. For them, gay had two distinct meanings which they were able to distinguish between — when it refers to sexual identity and when it refers, separately, to something being "rubbish." Importantly, linguistic research supports their claims. Language has evolved and "gay" means something different to younger generations in particular contexts.
I argued that straight men's use of phrases like "that's so gay" could only be understood by three key factors: first, the intent with which it was said; second, the social context (homophobic or otherwise); and third, the effect it had. In other words, if there is no evidence of harm, it is difficult to argue it is damaging.
When it comes to language use, context is all important. "That's so gay" can be homophobic if it is said with negative intent or within a homophobic environment. But when it is said in settings where sexual minorities are out, proud and socially included, and heterosexual men are friends with their openly gay peers, it takes on different meanings. In such a context it is not homophobic.
In the debates about "that's so gay," it is important to recognize that gay youths also use the phrase. Only a minority of participants — less than a third — thought that the phrase was homophobic, and even fewer said that they never used it. Most of the young gay people in my study felt "that's so gay" would only be homophobic if it was directed at a gay person, and with negative intent.
So there is no easy answer to whether "that's so gay" is homophobic. It depends on the age of the people saying and hearing it, the intent with which it is said, and the context in which it is said. The meanings and effects of the phrase will also be different if it is aimed at a person or used as a more general expression of frustration.
There is also a clear generational difference, with younger people having markedly different understandings than older people.

Spiny dogfish
The spiny dogfish, spurdog, mud shark, or piked dogfish, Squalus acanthias, is one of the best known of the dogfish which are members of the family Squalidae in the order Squaliformes. While these common names may apply to several species, Squalus acanthias is distinguished by having two spines (one anterior to each dorsal fin) and lacks an anal fin. It is found mostly in shallow waters and further offshore in most parts of the world, especially in temperate waters.
Morphology and behavior
The spiny dogfish has dorsal spines, no anal fin, and white spot along its back. The caudal fin has asymmetrical lobes, forming a heterocercal tail. The species name acanthias refers to the shark's two spines. These are used defensively. If captured, the shark can arch its back to pierce its captor. Glands at the base of the spines secrete a mild poison.
Males mature at around 11 years of age, growing to 80–100 cm (2.6–3.3 ft) in length; females mature in 18–21 years and are slightly larger than males, reaching 98.5–159 cm (3.23–5.2 ft).[2] Both sexes are greyish brown in color and are countershaded. Males are identified by a pair of pelvic fins modified as sperm-transfer organs, or "claspers". The male inserts one clasper into the female cloaca during copulation.
Reproduction is aplacental viviparous, which was before called ovoviviparity. Fertilization is internal. The male inserts one clasper into the female oviduct orifice and injects sperm along a groove on the clasper's dorsal section. Immediately following fertilization, the eggs are surrounded by thin shells called "candles" with one candle usually surrounding several eggs. Mating takes place in the winter months with gestation lasting 22–24 months. Litters range between 2 and 11 but average 6 or 7.
Commercial use
Spiny dogfish are fished for food in Europe, the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Chile. The meat is primarily consumed in England, France, the Benelux countries and Germany. The fins and tails are processed into fin needles and are used in less expensive versions of shark fin soup in Chinese cuisine. In England this and other dogfish are sold in fish and chip shops as "rock salmon" or "huss", in France it is sold as "small salmon" (saumonette) and in Belgium and Germany it is sold as "sea eel" (zeepaling and Seeaal, respectively). It is also used as fertilizer, liver oil, and pet food, and, because of its availability, cartilaginous skull, and manageable size, as a popular vertebrate dissection specimen, in both high schools and universities. Reported catches in 2000–2009 varied between 13,800 (2008) and 31,700 (2000) tonnes.[3]
Conservation status and management
Once the most abundant shark species in the world, populations of Squalus acanthias have declined significantly. They are classified in the IUCN Red List of threatened species as Vulnerable globally and Critically Endangered in the Northeast Atlantic, meaning stocks around Europe have decreased by at least 95%. This is a direct result of overfishing to supply northern Europe's taste for Rock Salmon, Saumonette or Zeepaling. Despite these alarming figures, very few management or conservation measures are in place for Squalus acanthias.[1] In EU waters, a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) has been in place since 1999, but until 2007 it only applied to ICES Areas IIa and IV. It was also set well above the actual weight of fish being caught until 2005, rendering it meaningless. Since 2009 a maximum landing size of 100 cm has been imposed in order to protect the most valuable mature females. The TAC for 2011 was set at 0t, ending targeted fishing for the species in EU waters. It remains to be seen if populations will be able to recover.[4]
In the recent past the European market for spiny dogfish has increased dramatically, which led to the overfishing and decline of the species. This drastic increase led to the creation and implementation of many fishery management policies placing restrictions on the fishing of spiny dogfish. However, since the species is a late maturing fish, it takes a while to rebuild the population.
In 2010, Greenpeace International added the spiny dogfish to its seafood red list. "The Greenpeace International seafood red list is a list of fish that are commonly sold in supermarkets around the world, and which have a very high risk of being sourced from unsustainable fisheries."[5] In the same year, the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS; also known as the Bonn Convention) listed the species (Northern Hemisphere populations) under Annex I of its Migratory Shark Memorandum of Understanding.[6]
In recent years however, the US has implemented fishing controls and opened up the fishery. The current proposed quota for 2011 is 35.5m lbs. with a trip limit of 4000 lbs. This is a gain over past years in which the quota has ranged from 5-20m lbs. with trip limits from 2000- 3000 lbs.[7] In 2010, NOAA announced the Eastern US Atlantic Spiny Dogfish stocks to be rebuilt[8] and in 2011 concerns about dogfish posing a serious predatory threat to other stocks resulted in an emergency amendment of the quota with nearly 15 million pounds being added.[9]

Just yesterday I wrote an article outlining a theory that higher interest rates were not bad for equities, and that in fact higher interest rates should help drive equities like the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY) higher. Yesterday's article wasn't the first time I wrote about this theory.
The theory I outlined was that economic strength would drive interest rates higher, and unlike past market cycles, higher interest rates would be welcomed by the equity markets and signal a return to "normalcy."
Going out on a limb like that and promoting a theory that is so unconventional always makes me a bit nervous, but ever since the 2008 crisis I have always maintained that investment professionals should throw out the economic text books. Things were getting flipped on their heads. I have always maintained that 2008 sent the financial markets into uncharted territory, and that relying on outdated historical maps were likely to result in poor performance. The best example is how gold and SPDR Gold Trust (NYSEARCA:GLD) has rallied to all time highs without any real sign of inflation, and that unprecedented money printing didn't cause inflation either. This time things were and are truly different, and investors need to frame their investment decision in the context of a market recovering from a near disastrous crisis, something that isn't baked into most historical models, theories or retirement plans.
Fortunately I'm not out on a limb alone with this theory. Ironically, just one day after my article was published, CNBC interviewed Brian Belski, BMO's Chief Investment Strategist, who made almost the exact argument.
When the Fed begins to taper that is an absolutely good thing for equity markets because that will tell you the economy is on sound footing and that stocks prices can, would and should go up.
This recent video also supports that theory, so the idea looks to be catching on.
The market speaks for itself. any mention of tapering does upset the market. why shouldn't we fear it? i think we have to think about why there is tapering and if there is tapering later in the year or in early 2014 because the economy is showing greater signs of resiliency... if economic growth is picking up, that's the cause of the fed starting to taper, that's a positive for corporate profits and the market.
That theory is counter to almost everything taught in textbooks, but that is because textbooks usually teach about normal markets, and during a normal market the Fed increases interest rates to slow economic growth and lowers them to spur economic growth. This time is completely opposite. This time the meaning of higher interest isn't that the economy is over heating and needs to be slowed, this time higher interest rates will represent a return of confidence to the markets. Unlike past times when higher interest rates acted like a pit stop for a NASCAR race to cool the engines, this time higher interest rates represent the disconnecting of life support from a patient being transferred from the critical care ICU to the general hospital for further treatment and recovery. That is a good thing, and should not inhibit a higher equity market.
In conclusion, one of the most difficult aspects of finance and economics is that most models are "multi-variable" and depending on the market conditions one factor may carry more weight than another, and those weights change over time and environments. That is why people always joke about the "two handed economists" because economists always try to outline the significant factors and how changes in one may lead to a change to another. An economist will say, "on one hand lower unemployment will signal a stronger economy, but on the other hand, a stronger economy may result in inflation." Their answers appear to be more of an analysis, than an answer, and they often get perceived as being unable to give a straightforward answer. Most people like simple answers like "if interest rates go higher equity prices will go lower." Clean, simple, understandable and concise. Unfortunately, financial markets can rarely be defined by a single variable model, and simple models rarely work very long. In my opinion the markets that exist today are extraordinary, and historical relationships are likely to break down or function poorly going forward. Because of that, I would expect the classic relationship of higher trending interest rates being bad for equities unlikely to hold this time, at least in the short and intermediate time period. I wouldn't expect interest rates to start having a contractionary impact until they are closer to their longer term averages, and there is a lot of cash on the sidelines that should delay that eventuality. Because of that, I would not expect the unwinding of QE or talks of higher interest rates to have a lasting detrimental impact on equity returns until rates are much closer to normal levels.
When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, Sir?

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

All Rise...
Judge Gordon Sullivan has never gotten fired up, but he's been fired at.
Editor's Note
Our review of Fired Up, published July 6th, 2009, is also available.
The Charge
2 Guys. 300 Girls. You Do the Math.
Opening Statement
It's funny, but two of our culture's symbols of young sexuality (the high school cheerleader and football player) both spend a more than typical amount of time getting sweaty and physical with members of the same sex, which is not the most heterosexual thing to do. I'm not the only one to realize this, as numerous jokes have been made about football players and their ass-grabbing antics as well as the digs in But I'm a Cheerleader. Well now we have Fired Up, a film that takes the gender dynamics of football and cheerleading to heart, giving us a heartwarming tale of a couple of ladies' men who join the cheerleading squad to get laid. Although it won't shock fans of raunchy comedy, Fired Up is a surprisingly good look at young love and gender stereotypes wrapped up in a post-American Pie sex comedy.
Facts of the Case
Nick (Eric Christian Olsen, Eagle Eye) and Shawn (Nicolas D'Agosto, Extreme Movie) are both football players dreading the upcoming football camp which will mean weeks in the heat without any women to chase. Because they've all but depleted the reserve of new girls at their high school, they decide to ditch football camp when they learn that their cheerleading squad is going to a camp that will feature three hundred young women. The boys worm their way onto the team and into the camp, and once there proceed to sleep with just about anything that moves. Things would be great, except Nick starts to fall for one of the girls from his school, and the pair find themselves actually becoming good cheerleaders.
The Evidence
I went into Fired Up with the lowest of low expectations. It looked like another sexist American Pie rip-off that would be long on shots of girls' bottoms and short on actual jokes. I came out of the film with a grudging respect. Yes, it had all the loving shots of nubile young women I'd expected, but it also had a surprisingly gentle heart and a good message.
For those just interested in the nubile young women, Fired Up certainly delivers. Although even the unrated cut is short on nudity, the film doesn't shy away from showing scantily clad athletic bodies gyrating in various gymnastic moves. However, the cheerleading isn't just an excuse to have half-naked women running around. Several of the scenes show off the crazy athleticism necessary for top-flight cheerleading. Although it's a little shorter on the mechanics of cheering than say Bring it On, the film still has enough cheering to satisfy fans of the sport.
Most of the comedy comes from the expected "fish out of water" scenes of having a couple of horny football players running around a three hundred woman strong cheer camp. There's also the requisite gay cheerleading guy, as well as the expected guys who take cheering seriously. As the film goes on, the guys get gradually more and more interested in cheering, and much of the humor comes from their increasing competence with the moves. There's also a lot of horn-dog centered humor, as the guys conquer an increasingly larger percentage of the camp's population before setting their sights on two particular girls.
The actual plot itself is a little tired, but executed well. Of course after seducing many of the girls, one of them falls for a teammate while the other falls for an "unattainable" counselor. Naturally, the teammate is dating a total jerk, which the boys soon discover, but they can't say anything because she won't believe them. This of course puts them in an awkward position. Also, before they got to camp, the boys were going to leave a week early to hang out at a friend's dad's empty house. When they realize they care about the team they decide to blow it off but their initial treachery is discovered, and they have to prove themselves to the team again. It's a totally obvious plot, but the chemistry between the two leads keeps it fresh. Eric Christian Olsen and Nicholas D'Agosto are fantastic as Nick and Shawn. They switch off playing the straight man and their timing is impeccable. The rest of the cast do an excellent job as well, especially Philip Baker Hall as the football coach and Juliette Goglia as Nick's little sister.
As a Blu-ray disc, Fired Up gets full marks. The video is crisp and detailed, with lots of bright, sunny scenes that show off good saturation. Some of the darker moments are well-rendered, with no noise or problems with the blacks. The audio keeps the dialogue audible and the soundtrack has a nice thump to it.
For extras we get an audio commentary with the director and his male leads where the group discusses the production and how poorly the film did theatrically. There's also a typical making-of documentary, and some extra interview footage with the stars. There's also a gag reel, and a scene from the press junket where the stars go off on a reporter to humorous effect. Finally, there's a digital copy of the film on a second disc for portable players.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
All things considered Fired Up! is a pretty good movie for those familiar with recent sex-comedy conventions. However, those looking for original filmmaking should probably go elsewhere, since Fired Up! doesn't hold too many surprises. It's aimed pretty squarely at young men, so those who don't want to see a bunch of scantily clad women bounce around for most of 90 minutes would do well to avoid this particular film.
Closing Statement
Fired Up didn't do much business theatrically, and that's unfortunate. It's a solid comedy with strong performances and funny dialogue. It won't quite join the ranks of But I'm a Cheerleader or Bring it On, but it's a solid little film that deserves a bigger audience.
The Verdict
Fired Up doesn't fizzle. Not guilty.

When my new jeans arrived they fitted perfectly!Katie H.
It seriously cuts down the stress of online shopping.Jane
The current culture in the UK is causing women to feel increasingly under pressure to be a certain size. This pressure can cause anxiety over appearance and low self-esteem, and lead to mental health conditions such as eating disorders.
Coupled with a retail industry that promotes vanity sizing, where an individual can be six different sizes in six different shops, leaves women feeling confused, frustrated and often, distressed over their "size".
As well as helping women to buy clothes that fit, quickly and easily, we want to help women to stop defining their self-worth by being, or wanting to be, a certain size, and to be happy in their own skin.
We aim to do this by making "size" irrelevant; it should be just a number that is used to purchase something, and by only allowing additional advertising that is body positive, body diverse and not airbrushed, women can shop without comparison to unrealistic body ideals.

Character Role Analysis
Elmire, Cléante, Dorine, Mariane, Damis, Valère
Taking down Tartuffe is a team effort, and each member of the ensemble listed above has their own strategy for dealing with the problem. Elmire uses her feminine wiles. Cléante appeals to Orgon's reason. Dorine insults Orgon and advises Mariane. Mariane tries to make Orgon feel bad. Damis wants to settle things with his fists, and Valère comes to Orgon's rescue when things are looking bad. Each strategy is effective in its own way – and Elmire's ruse successfully convinces Orgon that Tartuffe is a bad dude – but it takes the King, who we never see, to really solve things.

I'm having a very hard time dissecting the code here. I would like to be able to pass a custom variable into the system, and then have a new record be added to a custom table following a successful payment(whose name will also be passed into the payment system) with the data from the custom variable.
What PHP page would I want to look at in order to get this done - I see around 30 pages here!
Also, do I have the option to customize the table that PM Pro uses when a successful payment goes through? If so, what should I look for and in what script?
Thanks a lot for any help!

She can see all the things
She'd rather be
Up in the tree
With broken wings
She watched it all
Fall apart
An empty heart
Shattered wall
Torn and broken
Her whole life
With one knife
She was stolen
There was a small light
Falling from the sky
From up so high
With all its might
Crashing down
Bleeding cold
Her beauty sold
Her body marred
Forever numb
She feels no more
From before
She cannot become
So now she stares
At all the things
She'd rather be
Up in the tree

Could you please link my image you used on top to the original here? Or is it usal that way here on dA (do not know much about this, just saw my drawing here )
I gave you full credit in the description, but if you want i will of course remove it
Yes some people use it for what they want outside dA and i could not do much against it..
But thank you for the credit and the poem explaining it
But thank you for the credit and the poem explaining it
On DA people ignore the rules and take what they want without caring, and usually the staff does little about it unless the original artist makes a fuss. It sucks. She's not supposed to use this image without your permission.
I usually just google search images and sometimes the artist or others know the original creator, and whenever that happens I credit them, like i just did here. But if they ever contact me wanting to remove it I of course do so.
If someone uses someone elses work, then they have to credit the original artist.
Actually no, they have to get written permission to repost from the original artist.
She doesn't have permission, so she has to use a different image.

some stuff i did for the movie

The details are really impressive! elysium by ~0800 ( Suggested by Ginryuzaki and Featured by Shue13 )
I've yet to see Elysium, but I've noticed a striking similarity between these designs and the Scouts in Chappie. I get the feeling Blomkamp likes a very specific aesthetic, or maybe there's some sort of connection here.
i hope the future is nothing like this
eh, why is it when i hear Elysium i think of another movie.. it was slightly horror in tone but overall good.
May i ask, How did you get the job for concept?

Great skill and work. I like the movie, just the end disappointed me a bit. I expected an armada of ships heading for the station and taking it into possesion. That´s how I´d have written it, but such an ending would be a reason why probably no producer would have given me money for it.
Nice work! Congrats on the DD!

Well, and there I sit again, sobbing and drooling like a child... damn!
The robots were one of the best parts.
Movie was awesome!

I saw that movie!
Ooooh, I just LOVED those robots!
Having not seen the movie yet, this makes me really want to. Dang cool, thanks for sharing.
Heeheehe, can't help but notice little eccentricities with the text in the image, but the scene itself is still very much set, with a thick, rich atmosphere.

Very good and easy to make for this novice cook! MAde for ZWT8.
Delicious. very easy and quick to make, but it took much longer than 35 minutes to cook. turned out delicious and i will definitely make it again.
Absolutely wonderful! I tried to make them the other day, but couldn't get the sugar to melt. Tried for 20 minutes. Then last night used a different pan and it was done in 5. Very easy after that, but you have to swirl the sugar quickly in the ramekins! Texture was smooth, taste was great - will definitely be making often. Thanks Paula!! Made for Aus NZ Swap 37
