'Stand-In Moms' Warm Hearts, Fill Stomachs
Many immigrants pine for a taste of home — those hard-to-find special spices, the familiar vegetables. And when the immigrants are young men who left their mothers thousands of miles away, the problem is even more critical.
Many of them barely know how to boil an egg, let alone fix an ethnic feast. That's the plight that faced thousands of young Indian men who moved to the United States during the high-tech boom of the '90s. They were lucky if there was a local all-you-can-eat Indian buffet, though the dining experience was more heartburn than heartwarming.
In Silicon Valley, where I arrived 15 years ago as a cooking-challenged immigrant from India, finding someone who could supply good home-cooked food was a lead more precious than a tip about the next big IPO.
But now, a new niche has opened up in the immigrant economy — a sort of mom for hire. For a modest fee, an enterprising Indian woman will come to the home and cook up a week's worth of food, sometimes based on the far-away mother's own recipes.
At one time, these cooks-for-hire relied on word-of-mouth to find jobs. Now they are advertising online on bulletin boards like Sulekha.com, a sort of Craigslist for the Indian community. Young families increasingly use their services, as well.
Of course, it means the boys still don't learn to cook. But at least their mothers sleep easier in India knowing their sons aren't surviving on frozen dinners doctored with mango pickles.

Montgomery- The Alabama Department of Revenue (ADOR) reminds Alabama farmers that April 2, 2012, is the deadline date for filing their 2011 state fuel tax refund claims with the ADOR.
The refund claims are based on portions of the state excise tax paid by farmers on gasoline and "clear" motor fuel used in tractors or any auxiliary engines attached to tractors during 2011 for agricultural purposes. The refund rate is 11 cents per gallon for gasoline and "clear" motor fuel.
The refund provision also allows Alabama farmers transporting biomass to electricity-generating facilities to receive a fuel tax refund up to $1,000.
Farmers who have previously filed refund claims with the ADOR were mailed forms early this month. Any individual qualifying for a refund may obtain a claim form by writing to the following address: Alabama Department of Revenue, Business and License Tax Division, Motor Fuels Section, Post Office Box 327540, Montgomery, AL 36132-7540, or telephone (334) 242-9608.

Perseverance Is Key to a Good Life With Asthma
By DENISE GRADY
Published: October 19, 1999
Until about three years ago, Dawn Bosquez, a 30-year-old resident of Denver, was getting most of her medical care for asthma in emergency rooms. About once a month, she would wake up unable to breathe and would frantically call an ambulance or friend to rush her to the hospital, where she would be given oxygen and inhaled medications to bring the attack under control.
Then, a doctor would prescribe a short course or ''burst'' of prednisone tablets, a powerful corticosteroid drug, to ease the inflammation in her lungs that was bringing on the attacks. Corticosteroid inhalers were recommended, too, but Ms. Bosquez tended to try them and then quit. For a few weeks she would feel better. But then, as the prednisone wore off, the cycle of breathlessness would begin again.
At one point she was referred to a specialist, but she found him coldhearted, ignored his advice and never went back.
She began to suffer side effects from all the prednisone: she put on weight, and a hump grew on the back of her neck. And after one particularly harrowing night in the emergency room, a doctor who had pulled her through several crises told her that if she did not get her asthma under control, it might kill her.
At the doctor's urging, Ms. Bosquez made an appointment with Dr. Esther Langmack at the National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver, a leading asthma hospital.
In the three years since that visit, Ms. Bosquez has not been back to the emergency room. Daily use of inhaled medicines has kept her so healthy that she has needed prednisone only once. The ugly bulge on her neck has disappeared. And she has learned to manage her children's asthma, along with her own.
''For the majority of people with asthma, the proper use of medication, education and self-management can go a long way to keep them out of the emergency room and keep them where they want to be, at school or work,'' Dr. Langmack said.
Ms. Bosquez said: ''I knew I had asthma. I was born with it. It runs real strong through my family. But I didn't know what I could do about it. Nobody ever taught me.''
Now, she said, she is trying to talk her brother into seeing Dr. Langmack, too, because his asthma is nearly as bad as hers used to be.
There are many patients like Ms. Bosquez, doctors say: people who spend much of their time wheezing and hacking, always on the threshold of the emergency room, not realizing life does not have to be that way.
For most patients, the key to living with asthma is accepting that it is a chronic disease, often lifelong, that must be treated with daily doses of medication, even when the patient is feeling fine. Asthma attacks are a symptom of lung inflammation, and simply treating the attacks does not help that underlying condition, any more than taking aspirin for a toothache will fix the cavity that is causing the pain.
Because asthma is often brought on by allergies to molds, pollens, animal dander, dust, dust mites and other airborne ''triggers,'' most patients are urged to keep their homes as free of irritants as possible. That usually means getting rid of carpets and other dust collectors, enclosing mattress and pillows in special covers and banishing cats, dogs, birds and other warm-blooded pets, if not from the home entirely, at least from the bedroom.
For many patients, sinus problems and respiratory infections like colds and flu are important triggers of attacks, and patients with asthma are taught to track their symptoms carefully when they are ill so that they can take extra medicine to prevent a crisis. They are also urged to get a flu shot every year.
Dr. Frank Adkinson, a professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins asthma and allergy center in Baltimore, said: ''From the point of view of coping, there are two major groups that have the most difficulty. One is children, with asthma severe enough to interrupt their normal lives. They have ongoing attacks, middle-of-the-night emergency room visits, a lot of time out of school, and it becomes so unpredictable that the family feels out of control and, indeed, things are out of control. They need a comprehensive management program to restore the child to the mainstream.''
The other patients who have trouble coping, Dr. Adkinson said, are people who develop asthma after the age of 30, more often women than men.
''Typical of many diseases that hit people in midlife who were otherwise healthy, they start out with a lot of denial,'' Dr. Adkinson said. ''They think it's not asthma, they put off care and don't listen to what they're told. They're often psychologically not prepared to accept a diagnosis of a disease they're going to have to cope with for the rest of their lives. We have to get them to recognize it. We have great drugs that can control asthma and maintain a high quality of life in the vast majority of patients, probably 95 percent or more. But despite that good prognosis, this middle-aged group often takes a number of years to settle into a regimen.''
Treatment for asthma, like that for any chronic disease, works best when it is individualized for each patient.
To help Ms. Bosquez, Dr. Langmack said: ''I ended up doing several things. One was good education about asthma, which she'd never had. I also started her on a high-potency inhaled corticosteroid.''

The search is on for a suspect who police say robbed a hotel on the southwest side of town.
Just after 2 a.m. Monday, police say the suspect locked an employee in a closet at the Courtyard by Marriott on Tenderfoot Hill, then stole cash.
The hotel is located just off Lake Avenue, an area in which a string of home and vehicle break-ins occurred during the waning weeks of 2011.
Police dogs searched the area, but were unable to find the robber.
The suspect has been described as white or Hispanic, around 40 years old. He's about 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds with a pock-marked face. The suspect was last seen wearing dark jeans, a dark jacket and a dark-colored beanie hat.
We're staying on top of this story and will bring you new developments as they happen. Police ask that anyone with information call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

In Depth Achievement Guide
I thought the achievement guide posted on the site wasn't thorough enough in explaining the achievements, so here's an extremely detailed guide. It pretty much is an expanded guide to the one posted on the site. PS: Achievements are only recorded after you save you game. If you don't save, you don't get the achievement.
"Available Officer" Achievements (10 - 250 Officers Available)
Here's how to get all the officers:
1. Start the Empire Scenario "A Gathering of Heroes". Make sure your officer setting is at "Many". You chose this scenario because all the officers are alive and available to get in this one.
2. Make an area with your best guys, and start the game. I would suggest finishing at least the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" Scenario first just so you can have experienced officers to start with. If you are using experienced officers, make sure that setting is "On" when you start the game.
3. Conquer all of China except one area (corners work best) and make sure it only controls one area. Make a long alliance with that last county, which you get through consulting your officers (once you use it once and save you have it forever), the first option on the country viewing screen. If you do not have it, make short alliances. They work just as good, but are only a third as long so you have to remember to keep redoing it more often.
4(Intro). Now here is the boring part. Use either "Hire-Wide" (4A) or "Recruit" (4B) during your command phase to get all the officers. If you have an officer, a "Get" will be blinking next to their name. If there is no get, hire him/her. Then once you run out of commands, save and pass your turn. Make another alliance with the last country when necessary. Also, when you reach the max number of officers, save and dismiss any number of them (enough to hire all the officers you still actually need).
4A. Hire-Wide: This is the far easier method (for me, at least). Start out by using the "Development" Option on every area you control until they are all maxxed out. Then use "Produce" to make 2 of every item you can make. You will still have some "?"s on your item making screen, but that comes later. By now you should be a king, so you all of your commands except one every turn to "Hire-Wide" to hire every officer that you don't have. Just agree to whatever they want, you can make the items for free after all. Remember to dismiss your officers AFTER you save so you can get more. Use the other command for one of the trading (North, South, ect.); it does not matter which you do, just remember to alternate between them. Once you get to about 20-10 left, you'll start running into ones that won't join you for anything you have. This is why you left one command every turn for trading. Through trading, if you get lucky, you will be able to produce a new item. And these rare items are the items those officers want. It may be time consuming, but this is the fastest way to do it. Be warned though, it is extremely hard to get an officer currently working for the last country. Use 4C if they can't be persuaded and all else fails.
4B. Recruit: You're going to have to be quite lucky to get them all with this option, but I'll tell you how anyway. Just use all your command points to recruit every turn. You'll want to keep 88 officers at the beginning of every turn (88 so you have the best odds of getting the ones you don't have, and leaving 6 slots for new officers). Then recruit 6 times, save, dismiss 6, and pass your turn. Keep repeating until luck smiles on you and you get them all. This option by far takes a lot less preparation, but you can't control which officers you can recruit, so you better cross your fingers. Also, you can't recruit officers that are in other countries, so use 4C to get the last 6 that are left.
4C. If you're desperate, start another "Gathering of Heroes" Scenario. Write down the names of the last officers you don't have, and make a country out of them. Save on a different save file, and presto, you have added 6 officers to your collection. Some officers (for some reason, glitch maybe?) will not be counted through this method, but most of them are easy to get through normal battles anyway.
"Cleared (Scenario)" Achievements
There is no real way to speed this up. My only tip for you is start off your first Scenario (probably Yellow Turban Rebellion) using an edit character. For me, he has Zhu Ci's move pattern, which works excellently in lower ranks. Just make sure to use an edit character, and make the setting for edit characters when making the game "On". This way, you can use the same character for all six Scenarios (because through the Scenarios non-edited officers die and are born so you can't use the same non-edited officer through the whole game).
Also, you can use "Neutral Start" and "Forced March" if you have these tactics and can afford to use them. Using these two tactics makes the game end in about 5 minutes (If you play smart by taking bases as soon as the game starts). To use the tactic, first you must get it through consulting. Then, make it during your command phase. Next, during the pre-battle phase (when you see a map of the field), chose "Preparations" then "Tactics". "Neutral Start" will automatically activate, while "Forced March" you have to activate in game (Pause the game, select "Tactics", and then select "Forced March"). This way you can just run though bases picking them up, and you can get almost all of them because "Forced March" makes you run faster.
Basically, play well and hard and conquer all 25 areas to win the Scenario. Make sure to save when prompted at the end of the Scenario or you will not get the achievement. You would have to start from your last save and finish the scenario again if you do not save. Also, you can get this achievement on any difficulty, including easiest, but just know; by the end of a scenario, the difficulty automatically goes up one level, so don't expect "Novice" all the way through it. To unlock the next Scenario, you need to beat the one you already have ("A Gathering or Heroes" doesn't count). Other then that, that's all the help I can give for these.
"Play Battle of (Name Here)" Achievements
(I'm going to shamelessly Agree with the Achievement Guide on the easy ones here)
1. Play Yellow Turban Rebellion: This is the easiest of them all, but I'll lay down the basics here. For most of them, you just pick a territory, pick "Skip Battle", and the message inviting you to the special stage pops up. Accept it, and play it if you want. Win or lose, or even retreat, you still get the Achievement Regardless. For this achievement, first chose the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" Scenario. Then chose Yuan Shao (His country is in the top right, he is yellow), and start the game. Skip your turn, and play the battle; nice and easy achievement.
2. Play the Battle of Hu Lao Gate: Chose the "Dong Zhou in Luo Yang" Scenario, and chose Sun Jian (his country is in the middle right side and is red). Skip your turn, accept the invite to the battle, save after it, and you're done.
3. Play the Battle of Guan Du: Chose the "Battle of Guan Du" Scenario (Yes, you skipped "A Divided Land" completely). Pick Juan Shao (He is in the same area Yuan Shao was, in the top right corner and yellow). Once again start the game, skip your turn, and accept the invitation. Play the battle, save afterwards, and you're done.
4. Play the Battle of Chi Bi: Chose the "Flames over Chi Bi" Scenario. Pick Sun Quan (The red territory in the right middle again). Skip your turn, accept the invite, save after the battle, and we have 4 out of 5.
5. Play the Battle of Yi Ling: This one is the most complicated of all. Thusly, it's lettered.
A) Chose the "Flames over Chi Bi" Scenario (again).
B) Chose Sun Quan (again).
C) Wait until Lui Bei has taken over Chang Sha AND the territory to it's direct left.
D) Once he has both, sucessfully take Chang Sha from him.
E) Skip turns until you are invited to the special battle (should be no more then 4).
F) Play in it, save, and you're done with the Achievements for the game!
Well, that's my guide, I hope it was helpful. If you have any questions, or find a mistake, please either PM me or E-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Well, I stumbled upon these while playing through the game again, so here are some extras I found.
NOTE: I found out this post got too long, surprise surprise. Scroll down for the extras.
Edited, now it includes "Bonus" (Non-achievement) unlockables.
Oh, and thank you for the sticky.:)
(Extras continued from above)
1. Cao Cao Cutscene- Play the "Divided Land" Scenario. Play as Cao Cao, and skip for about 8 turns. Eventually, you will see a loading screen. It's that easy, now watch and enjoy.
2. Good ending- A more prominent feature for the PS2 version then the X-Box 360 version (mostly because this version doesn't reward you for it, but the PS2 version does). Anyway, this one is hard to get. To achieve it, you must play any Scenario and conquer 24 of the territories, and ally with the last remaining one. Make it a long aliance, because this is gonna take awhile. Up to that point in your scenario, you can not take any "bad" measures against your people (this means you cannot use bad "Assigns", such as "Emergency Tax", against the people). Basically, if you wouldn't like your own governement to do it to you, don't do it to your people. Instead, you have to use things like "Charitable Aid" and "Distribution" repeatedly. I wouldn't suggest going for this unlockable, it's just a little cutscene at the end where your character shows how "Good" he or she is. It's not worth the hour(s) needed to get this.
3. Bad ending- Ah, evil is so easy. Basically, just be downright cruel to your people in any scenario. If there are uprisings against you every turn, you know you're reached it. Same set-up as before, any scenario, 24 territories, the works. But this one only takes about 15 minutes to accomplish, so it's the easier special ending by far. Enjoy your evil cutscene!
Oh man just as I got the game to. Awesome man!
How do u no which officers to get,beacuse i swear ive chosen my old one so many times.
If it has a GET! by their name you ALREADY HAVE THEM and do not need them anymore. Aim to get the officers which don't have GET! by their name.
If you start a game and get to your maximum for officers you can save then start over because the officer number is over all of your saved games.
You're a genious!!
nice guide man ;)
Great guide man i should be playing this before long and it will help
When you're attempting to use the Hire-Wide assign to collect officers, you should have at least 3 each of some items (I used harnesses). It's not so much that they don't want the items you have, but that some of them are really greedy. The last few I needed were all taking "3 each of [insert item name]". Just thought I'd let ya know. :boxer
This was really helpful. I have been recruiting officers and then dismissing them right away before saving it. No wonder I wasn't getting any more achievements.
I'll have to try the hire-wide option. See if that works better for me.
Awsome guide! I've finally got all the achievements! :beer::woop::bow:
Other than that, AWESOME guide. :D
Thankyou soooooo much JimJam that is the most annoying achievement in the game. I have finnaly now got it so just one more achievement go. Thanks again i owe u one :)
Can anybody explain the development part a little more I can't seem to find it.
EDIT: Never mind 1000/1000
I got the battle of Yi Ling, but not Chi Bi. A little aggravating.
I just kept trying again and again. I think it took me about 4 goes but it will soon help you and you will get it
For method 4C how do you know what officers you're missing?
Hmm, good point though....
Really the only way to check which officers you don't have is to open up the full officer list (which has gone missing from the forum; I'm sure it's still around here somewhere...) and compare it with your current officer list. The hardest ones to keep track of are the generic officers, and those will be the ones you are most commonly missing. If you don't feel like going through all the work, you can stick with 4A or 4B, which require less out-of-game preperation.
Good luck!
I noticed while playing that if you try to hire an officer and he refuses to join you if you look at the map before you press A, while the notice he refused is still on the screen, the area that has the item he wants is flashing. So I just developed, produced and upgraded the items in those areas to get the last few officers.
This guide is awesome but im still missing few officers! Thanks for posting this guide, i think it will take me to 1000G very soon.
I don't get some of the special scenario things... I totally DID NOT follow the directions for Yellow Turban and Hu Lao Gate, and I still got the special scenario to trigger.... what's the deal?
Ok, double post but unrelated.
I had the hardest time Hiring my last guy, Lu Su. He kept refusing and refusing no matter what new item I got. And then randomly I tried him again and he accepted for 2 of an item that had been there the whole time. What a jerk. At least I got him and am done with the 250!
great post man. for anyone that's having problems with sum of the officer achievements just follow this guid. if you happen to not come across the officer you're trying to add to ur party in the Gathering of Heroes campaign,just remember the one you're missing and go to a diffrent campaign and based on which land you select they should already be there. in my case sun jin was missing so i ended up going to a diffrent campaign to have him in my troops.
im really close to game completion i just need more officers ill just do what your guide says a few times and i should be good with it

He needs to fight for the company to work, there is nobody to replace him but if he fight 5 times over the next 5 years which would be expecting a lot but isn't impossible the company cold work because it would be on solid footing that long. Plus as time goes on it is more possible they can have someone to at least sort of replaces Floyd, which is really the biggest hurdle for the company transitioning away from having Floyd the fighter be the main straw that stirs the drink. GBP got real lucky and was able to have Floyd ready to just replace Oscar which pretty much cemented the companies status. Even if they made much less on Floyd than they did with Oscar that kept them in the high end event game which allowed them to keep attracting new talent.
It is hard to see Floyd and company pulling off the same stuff but it could happen.

Standing Rib Roast with Garlic & Rosemary
Are you intimidated by the idea of cooking big roasts for the holidays? Don't be! At least in the case of this standing rib roast, or prime rib, it's easy and always delicious. I cooked a rib roast for our Christmas dinner a few years ago and it instantly became our traditional holiday meal. The meat is so good and flavourful, it doesn't need much in the way of seasoning.

Kansas escapes Baylor this time
LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Refusing to speak of bowl possibilities is getting harder for Mark Mangino with every game Kansas wins.
"It is a possibility," the second-year coach said Saturday after the Jayhawks stumbled around before putting away Baylor 28-21.
The victory raised their record to 5-2 overall and 2-1 in the Big 12.
One more win would make the Jayhawks eligible for a bowl. And that would mark a giant early leap in Mangino's ongoing effort to revitalize a program that just one year ago failed to win even one conference game.
"That possibility exists," Mangino said. "If we just take care of our business, that's sort of a side benefit of being focused and playing well the rest of the year."
The path is not easy. The Jayhawks play road games at Kansas State and Texas A&M the next two weeks and must also host Nebraska.
"I'm sure (the players) think about it, but we won't let them think about it very long," Mangino said. "When we earn that right, then we'll be really excited about it."
For the first three quarters against Baylor (3-4, 1-2), there seemed little reason for Jayhawk fans to cheer. A blocked punt recovered in the end zone helped the Bears take a 14-14 tie into the fourth quarter.
It was the first time in more than two years the Bears had not trailed going into the second half of any Big 12 game. But quarterback Bill Whittemore engineered two fourth-quarter scores, including a 40-yard TD pass play to Mark Simmons.
Then after the Bears pulled within one touchdown on Aaron Karas' 15-yard TD pass with about 5 minutes to go, Banks Floodman intercepted a Baylor pass to seal the win.
It was the 30th straight Big 12 road loss for Baylor, which hasn't won a conference road game since the end of the 1995 season in the defunct Southwest Conference.
"We just have to make our guys understand that it's about execution," said Baylor coach Guy Morriss. "And the dumb penalties have to stop. We just don't give ourselves a chance. There's not enough consistency and they just don't seem to understand it."
Floodman intercepted Karas' pass and the Jayhawks ran out the clock.
"I saw him and tried to lock eyes with him," said Karas. "I was trying to push him to the flat. The curl was behind him and he made a great play."
With all their penalties and mistakes, the Jayhawks would have lost this game a year ago, Mangino said.
"I am proud of the way we competed in the second half," he said.
There was some hangover from the previous week's overtime loss to Colorado, he said.
"We didn't let Colorado beat us twice."
Whittemore was 19-of-30 for 252 yards and two touchdowns and tied the school record with 15 scoring passes in a season.
"We made mental mistakes, and that hurt us a lot," said Simmons, who caught six passes for 89 yards. "We can't make penalties. We still got the touchdown, though. If I don't get it, I'm glad somebody else did."

Established in 1987 through a collaboration between the Chiles Foundation and Providence Health & Services, cancer research was made the primary focus in 1993 with the recruitment of Walter J. Urba, M.D., Ph.D. from the National Cancer Institute. Under Dr. Urba's leadership, cancer immunotherapy research has flourished through the generosity of Robert W. Franz and Elsie Franz Finley, benefactors of the Robert W. Franz Cancer Research Center created in 1996. Today, we garner more than $2 million annually in federal and other sponsored grant funding with a research staff of more than 90 team members.
Our world-renowned team of scientists and clinical researchers has forged breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy. Our research discoveries have led to the formation of two biotech companies and partnerships with leading medical, research and industry institutions worldwide. We are one of 11 intuitions to participate in Bristol-Myers Squibb's International Immuno-Oncology Network, one of 26 centers included in the Cancer Immunotherapy Trials Network and are a member of the NCI Community Oncology Research Program via the Pacific Cancer Research Consortium.
We have a proven track record of investigator-initiated, cooperative group and industry-sponsored clinical trials. Dr. Urba served as senior author and principal investigator on the international trial that led to the first immunotherapy drug approved for patients with melanoma – ipilimumab. This was the first therapy to improve survival of patients with melanoma. And, its approval by the FDA was a watershed moment and an important milestone for the oncology community. This achievement was key to cancer immunotherapy being named Science journal's "Breakthrough of the Year" for 2013.
We have initiated numerous first-in-human trials including anti-OX40, a promising immunotherapy agent discovered at the Earle A. Chiles Research Institute by Andrew Weinberg, Ph.D., as well as a novel, bacterial-based vaccine for glioblastoma multiforme (brain cancer); alpha-TEA, a vitamin E analog proven effective on breast cancer in pre-clinical models; and combination stereotactic body radiation therapy with immunotherapy for patients with advanced metastatic melanoma.
At the Earle A. Chiles Research Institute, science and medicine have joined together. Being housed under one roof has fostered the ability of our bench scientists and physicians at the bedside to work together, developing the best new ideas to improve cancer treatment. Our patients have often been the first in the world to receive a new cancer immunotherapy treatment.
Here is a glimpse of our track record of firsts
This is a very exciting time in the history of cancer research. We invite you to partner with us in our fight against cancer by taking a tour of our institute and supporting our research. Together, we can finish cancer.

I did the mistake with setting similar password for "view only" and "primary" mode using tightvnc server. Now I only can control my client pc and everytime I want to log in to server, I always logged in to "view only". Am I right, since I have similar password so I always redirected to "view only" mode or any idea how I can log in to primary without changing password from server?
Really thanks in advance.

For many years, only a handful of companies have had the mechanism in place shares directly to individual investors. However, in 1995 the Securities and Exchange Commission eased its regulations, allowing corporations to implement direct purchase programs much more easily. Since then, the number of companies who are able to sell shares directly to investors has grown from a handful to over 300. In addition, some companies that don't pay dividends also have direct purchase plans for investors.
Some companies (usually banks or utilities) limit such initial purchases to customers or residents. There may also be a nominal commission involved, or a minimum purchase requirement. Nevertheless, in one fell swoop an investor can buy a share and enroll in a DRIP from a growing number of companies.

This is delish! So easy to make, too. Took your lead and used it to stuff squash. I love the sweet and sour together plus the addition of the celery which gives it a bit of a crunch. I used the rice cooker to cook the two rices mixed together. I have a ton of fresh cranberries leftover from Thanksgiving to use- so this was great. Thanks for posting, I would make this again for sure.

The 9.5 is an elliptical trainer for very casual, infrequent exercisers. Average and serious athletes will quickly wear the machine out – and the warranty expires after just 90 days. Nonetheless, some people choose the Image 9.5 for its incline and iFit personal training technology.
Elliptical Hits: What You Get
What You Don't Get with the Image 9.5 Elliptical
Overall Rating for the Image Elliptical 9.5
Customer reviews have earned the Image 9.5 a low rating. Reports paint a picture of a shaky machine that becomes increasingly noisy over time, ultimately requiring repair and becoming an extra place to hang one's clothes.
If it's iFit that draws you, check out some other brands by the ICON parent company, such as NordicTrack and ProForm, or consider spending money on a gym membership until you're ready to purchase a better quality trainer.

how would I go about adding an extra caption field (or two) to each slide in the add image screen, and also, display them on the slide? I am familiar with the CSS for the single caption option already included, but supposing I want to have one main caption, perhaps, somewhere in the middle of the page, and a second caption (a sub-caption, if you will) slightly beneath it and to the right, with a different background colour? I have no problem modifying the CSS, but adding an extra field for the second caption is proving more difficult. Where would I begin?
Many thanks! :)

I met Elise and Scott through Kate, a uni friend, on the internet. Facebook-chat heavy story short I learned of their emerging food business, Grumpy Donuts, and a few weeks later they visited to meet IRL to take some photos of their enormously spectacular donut range. My modest dwelling was heaving with good stuff that day – boxes and boxes of the freshest donuts adorned by relevant and perfectly executed toppings created with fine, thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Even their dough recipe is enough to make a grown adult weep.
Straight up these are the greatest donuts that have ever been bestowed upon me and the good news is they are now taking orders for deliveries to select Sydney areas! Please visit their website grumpydonuts.com to view their perfect, perfect flavour list and to order, alternatively visit them on instagram at @grumpydonuts for instant visual stimulus worthy of popping many a food boner. Grumpy Donuts are destined to be huge so you'll be glad you got on these guys early – I hear they'll be stocked in cafes across the city shortly.
Small business is where it's at. Support local! Am I gushing too much? Just buy the donuts. Especially the maple bacon bar.
Thank you Kate for retouching the bacon in the below images.

Started this project a bit back, I did his teeth... Read more →
This project was exploring the landscape architecture field and what possibilities we have to 3D-print settlements on the Moon. Outcome was a book, documenting the project, a poster to put facts and data into a visual representation, also a physical working model. Arduino based robot with stepper motors and servos.
I was born in the mid in-land of Sweden, enjoying outdoors and always had pets in my family. As long as I can remember, I've always appreciated great quality and good solutions. This have lead me into my current career choice, Industrial Design. This way of thinking combined with my previous experience of electronics and game development has brought me into a quite technical way of doing things. I'm far from an artist, more of a thinker. I enjoy seeing an idéa leaving that stage, going through development and actually getting created. That is what I enjoy the most, make great ideas "real". I started out building PC's and optimising hardware and fighting printers when I was around the age of 15. I got my first computer (PC) when I was 16 which was a Intel Pentium 166 Mhz running on 200 Mhz (!). From that point, the interest for computers took off and I started to help out repairing computers at a local PC educational center. I started high school a year later in electronics (in Sweden you can choose a direction in high school already), this taught me electronics, Windows NT (back then) and computer networking. Later I started a game development education focusing on Web based applications and we were programing in Lingo which was a competitor to Flash called Shockwave made by Macromedia. Adobe later bought Macromedia and basically stopped the development. I still have a great base on programming in Java based languages though which I'm very grateful for. After realising the game dev scene were a bit too virtual for me with only computer time I took a break from the studies and later when out traveling. After 3-4 months I went to Melbourne, AUS and was working as a removalist, thinking about my next move in life. During my time in Sweden before my travels, I made a test. A test that analysed my skills and my passions and presented me with a profession that I should work as. That test presented me with Industrial Designer as first choice and photographer as second. When I left for my travels my plan was to go back to Sweden and take up some studies in this area. This changed quite a lot as I arrived to Melbourne. Now doing my last semester of my honours program at RMIT and I can't be more sure that I have found my future profession. Today I have a great interest in technology, 3D and electronics which is often the base of my projects. I use software like Solidworks, Zbrush and MODO for 3D and often rendered in Keyshot. In the electronics field I have a great interest for communication as well as more "engineery" things like cars and RC (UAV's/drones) and on the side I've just finished a delta (Rostock) 3D-printer.
Surface design, Polygon modeling
Renderings, Visual communication
Electronics, Arduino programming etc.

An autopsy will be conducted on Australian soldier Captain
Paul McKay after his body was found near the summit of New
York's Scarface Mountain.
The discovery of his body on the mountain, a popular hiking
site in upstate New York with an elevation of 932m, ends a
two-week search for the 31-year-old from Canberra.
"This is not the outcome we had hoped for," Saranac Lake
police chief Bruce Nason told AAP on Thursday.
There were grave concerns for Capt McKay, who was suffering
post-traumatic stress disorder after a tour of Afghanistan
and was on leave from the Australian Army.
Capt McKay sent an email to his father on December 30.
In the email Capt McKay said he was leaving all of his
possessions to his father.
The last sighting was on New Year's Eve when a witness saw
him walking along train tracks near Scarface Mountain.
The region was hit by extremely cold weather, caused by the
polar vortex, which resulted in snow storms and temperatures
falling below minus 30 degrees Celsius.
Chief Nason said the cause of death was yet to be determined
and he was unaware if a note was found with Capt McKay's
The soldier was found in a section of the mountain that was
hidden from helicopters searching for him.
A New York forest ranger who climbed the mountain found the
body on Wednesday.
"The family has been informed of this news and we express our
deepest sympathy for their loss," Chief Nason said.

I admitted last week that Gravity is a film actually worth seeing in 3D. Have you seen it yet and if so what did you think?

I admitted last week that Gravity is a film actually worth seeing in 3D. Have you seen it yet and if so what did you think?
Related Content
Mark, wholeheartedly agree with your review. You omitted one point though around the quality of the sound. The title sequence highlights that sound doesn't travel through space, and that point's referred back to several times through film visually. The music, sound design, and the presence and absence of sound all the way through is masterful and adds a valuable extra dimension to the film.
I notice that most of the people who say the 3D version is better, haven't actually seen both versions ;-)
I saw the 2D version last week, and the (Real D) 3D today. The 3D certainly adds something during the action sequences....and the expected, deliberate "look at me..I'm doing 3D!" effects. As pointed out elsewhere, Avatar and the latest Hobbit preview look like unsubtle, pop-up book attempts at 3D in comparison.
But...it also makes some things worse - it's darker, it's less sharp and it distracts you at times from taking in the impressive views that make the 2D version better at times. I don't want my focus to be forced onto a particular spinning object at the expense of taking in the incredible backdrop that the 2D version shows off so much better.
Anyway....it's a great film. It must be because I found the 2nd viewing just as involving as the first....the "destruction" sequences are jaw-dropping and I thought some of the dialog was very moving.
Saw in 3D and loved it. The only slight fly in the stratosphere was the "return" of George Clooney which I felt was a bit "naff" and a "dream" ploy that spoilt the film.
Whilst Gravity is sure to win a lot of awards for the technical and visual splendour, there's one award that it should not get. As some film buffs will know, there was a great deal of controversy over the script. Production on this film took place in 2011 (whilst the space shuttle still flew), but it's been suggested (on IMDb) that the film release was delayed due to a legal dispute over the original idea. The film script is dated from 2009, but there is a book called 'Gravity' that was published in 1999 about a woman trapped on the International Space Station, not to mention the Ray Bradbury short 'Kaleidoscope', part of his The Illustrated Man (1951). So I sincerely hope that the Academy does not nominate Gravity for either best original, or best adapted screenplay, because this would open the controversy over the possible plagiarism of the other stories.
I have seen Gravity at my local vue in 3D, I thought that this was a great film, I chose the 3D on your recommendation and thought that the effects were some of the best I had seen in 3D since Avatar. I have been underwelmed by some of the 3D films of recent years, especially the convertions to 3D such as wrath and clash of the titans. For me the film only delivers in 3D when it has been written and made with 3D in mind from the beginning.
Whilst the cinematography and special effects were good, I can't help but feel that there is a touch of "Emperor's new clothes" about this film. Bullock was too ditsy, with 6months training? Please. I found the plot cheesy, with Sandra Bullock just escaping one disaster after another. In the end I wanted her to fail. Also, would NASA send two 50 year olds (SB almost) into space? I know that Clooney was supposed to be the chilled astronaut, however he was totally lacking in emotion and empathy. I like both of these actors, but not in this film. I really am at a loss to understand the fuss that has been made about this film, especially when there have been so many better films released this year.
Mark. I'm not a fan of 3D, but I went to see Gravity in 3D... and based on YOUR recommendation.
I loved it, a masterful popcorn fest from start to finish. It's also artistic, well edited, directed blah blah... AND... when I exited the cinema the first thing I said to my friend was, "did you flinch when any of the debris came flying at screen?". The second thing I said was, "what did you think of the sound?"
In hindsight, I love the sound more... and the direction... but when I left, it was the 3D that had me talking.
I wonder if Berba is Simon Mayo?
Topper - what a sheep! Just go and see what Kermode tells you to see. Pathetic!
He's brain-washing you all, so sad to see - think for yourselves people, the man's a hack!
@Mendo Shutaro
At last I can come out from behind the sofa, for fear of being harangued. Your thoughts on this film are rather similar to mine, visually stunning ,but sadly lacklustre in parts. Now let me be clear I am a big fan of Cuaron's work, and Children of Men in particular is a film that still gives me a little shiver when I recall certain scenes.
However though Gravity was a visual banquet to feast your eyes on, I did feel it fell short on several levels, character development was virtually nil, hence I didn't connect enough to care about the outcome. Bullock left to 'carry the load' on her own just didn't work for me either, with constant shots of her spinning torso becoming increasingly irritating as they served no real purpose. The ending also left me cold, mainly because by the third act I just felt the options were so obvious I couldn't help but visualise it all in my head.
I've seen it in 3D on the big screen now, and will as always when I fail to enjoy a well received film, let the dust settle and try it again on DVD release. Though I genuinely feel on this occasion the superior visuals may well have had the adverse effect, and rather overshadowed the actual overall film experience if that makes sense?

Calcium is the most important of the inorganic elements in the animal body. In the adult1 it furnishes 2 per cent of the total weight, and 99 per cent of this amount is found in the bones and teeth. It is present in all tissues, including the blood, and without it life, as we know it, would be impossible. It is self evident, therefore, that a liberal supply of calcium in the diet must be a matter of vital importance at all times. There are, however, three periods during the life of the individual during which it is of particular importance. First, that of growth, when bulk is being added so rapidly to all the tissues; second, that of pregnancy, when the mother must supply the calcium for the bones of the developing fetus, and third, that of lactation, when the milk from the mother must act as a

Hi Tareq Hasan,
I add a custom ext box and labeled it URL but by default the only validation criteria available is
"A validation criteria. User must provide input in that field"
But it is not sufficient for domain name or URL validation,
something like this may be good to validate
function checkdomainname($Domainname)
if(getmxrr($Domainname, $MXHost))
return TRUE;
return FALSE;
?> **/
this I found in google,but dont know how to add to plugin.
I seen the URL is saved in cf_URL in post meta of db,
I just want to validate the URL or Domain name before it is saved in db.
So that only valid domains or URLs will be saved.
Could you please tell me how to validate the domain names using WP User Frontend: Custom Fields

Vt. rec path revived 2 yearsMay 25,2013COLCHESTER — Two year after Lake Champlain flooding destroyed part of it, the Colchester Causeway recreational path has been restored for bicyclists, runners, walkers and fishermen.
The Colchester Causeway, along with a stretch to the north in South Hero, is a five-mile, unpaved northern portion of Island Line Trail. It connects to the south to Colchester's Airport Park and the 7.5-mile paved Burlington Bike Path.
The Burlington Free Press reported that restoration work took place last year from May to October and cost $500,000.
Seventy-five percent of the money to repair the causeway came from federal funds and 15 percent came from the state.

Bet Your Bottom Dollar: A Bottom Dollar Girls Novel
by Karin Gillespie
23 used & new
5.0 out of 5 stars
fine deep gaze into small town southern living
June 30 2004
This review is from:
Bet Your Bottom Dollar: A Bottom Dollar Girls Novel (Hardcover)
The Super Saver Dollar chain store plans to open up their latest retail establishment in Cayboo Creek, South Carolina where they will compete with the local business, the Bottom Dollar Emporium. The owner Mavis is stunned by the news that the fastest growing retailer in the southeast is moving into her neighborhood. Most locals figure that the Bottom Dollar Emporium will soon be history. However, Mavis and her employees Elizabeth and Attalee plan to put up quite a fight.
Though the business is of major concern, the women have other problems to deal with too. Elizabeth can't stand her father's new wife and her former boyfriend ended their relationship with a note on a Hardee's bag placed under her windshield wiper. Of course Timothy Hollingsworth might be worth a look even if he is a southern Buddhist. Ancient Attalee has some physical problems that keep her up at night. Finally, even with a romance in the air, Elizabeth considers fleeing to her widowed sister in South Dakota, but not before this Davidette goes up against Goliath.
Though limited in action, BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR is an engaging insightful look at the battle between mega superstore chains and mom and pop operations that are changing the landscape. The story line is fun to follow as readers observe the three Bottom Dollar Emporium females struggle with the outside challenges, men, and other ills that make them seem so genuine. Karin Gillepsie furbishes a delightful glimpse into what seems increasingly more like the dinosaur with this fine deep gaze into small town southern living.

fine chick lit motherhood tale
June 30 2004
This review is from:
Babyface (Paperback)
In London reporter Nina met Jonathan through a lonely-hearts advertisement. They seemed to get on quite nicely together, but neither expected Nina to become pregnant. Still the pair goes ahead with having the child they name Ben.
However, Nina finds motherhood boring with no awards though she is proud of her baby's accomplishments. She wants to go back to reporting or just an occasional escape from her little Ben sentence that she is serving. Her opportunity arises when her fashion editor asks to use Ben as a model for a photo shoot. As Ben's career explodes and he becomes a baby star, Nina realizes she should clue Jonathan in with what she has done, but there never seems to be the right time to do so.
BABYFACE is a fine look at motherhood starring an individual who loves and wants the best for her infant, but also misses the action and glamour of her journalistic work as she only remembers the good times at the job. Nina hides Ben's profession too long because there is a basic trust issue here plus the don't tell stretches too long. Yet fans will forgive her indiscretion because she represents many new mothers who want their cake and eat it too (why else have the cake in the first place - for the clueless Jonathans to eat it?). Fiona Gibson furbishes a fine chick lit motherhood tale (that is going around a lot lately).

sweet chick lit motherhood tale stars a maturing likable nut
June 30 2004
This review is from:
Crossing The Line (Hardcover)
Jane Taylor knows it is time to tell the truth to her family, friends, and co-workers, who believe she is nine months pregnant (see THE THIN PINK LINE). The infant she has been carrying is actually a bundle of rags. However, it could only happen to Jane to find an abandoned baby just before her pronouncement. The real infant she insists is hers although Emma, as she names the child, happens to be black while Jane is white.
Her boyfriend, Scotland Yard CID Donald Tolkien is the first to know the truth and handles it reasonably well as if he expected nothing less from zany Jane. He also informs Jane she must notify Social Services about Emma. At a New Year's Day Emma hosted, she breaks the news to all that she faked the pregnancy, but has a child anyway.
The hard thing remains the same problem that detracts from the first book which is a woman shamming a pregnancy. The story line is fun to follow as Jane explains to everyone what she did, but also shows maturity as she tries her best to do the right thing for Emma as well as gain custody of the newborn. Readers will especially like the accepting ethical Donald who will assist Jane as long as it is legal and in his opinion the right thing for Emma. This sweet chick lit motherhood tale stars a maturing likable nutcase (that is going around a lot lately).

This review is from:
Tales Of A Drama Queen (Paperback)
After her boy friend of six years Louis Ferris ended their engagement once he left the hospital and healed from her latest overzealousness, Elle Medina decides to leave the DC area so she can start over. As she does with everything, the vivacious Elle does not just move an hour away to say Baltimore, but instead crosses the country to Santa Barbara.
In Southern California, Elle seeks employment, but has no idea what she is qualified to perform having no employment history so as she has done all her life Elle dives in head first to test the waters. Of course, her requirement in a job is to allow her to move off the couch of her friend Maya and away from Perfect brad, Maya's boyfriend. She finds no trouble getting work, but keeping a job proves difficult, as things seem to happen when Elle is around. The only thing more complex then staying employed is the men in her life who seem more like sharks, even the underage one, but who will she choose.
Elle seems like a modern day Louisa Costello. Readers will laugh at her slapstick employment history (Mr. Bush will be pleased he does not have to count her as unemployed) and her wacky love life will bring much amusement to readers. Though the plot lacks a serious center, Elle makes for quite a good time for chick lit fans as her zaniness take Santa Barbara by storm.

clever cerebral crime caper contrasted to nature's beauty
June 30 2004
This review is from:
Trophy Hunt (Hardcover)
In Saddlestring, Wyoming, game warden Joe Pickett and his two daughters are fishing when they see dead fish floating in the water. As they walk the river, he finds a man who is taking the fish for sport and throwing them back in the water. While Joe lectures him about the ethics of what he is doing he smells something rancid. The angler points him in the direction of a dead moose. When he goes to investigate, he finds that the moose was mutilated with surgical precision; his organs removed as if someone took them for a trophy.
Not long after that a call comes in that some cows were killed, just like the moose with no signs of predator or clues to who or what did it. People in Saddlestring are very nervous and property values plummet even though there is an economic boom going on thanks to new technology that allows natural gas to be taken easier out of the ground. When two men are found in the same condition as the cattle and the moose, a task force is formed but Joe goes his own way to find out what is turning his town upside down.
Award winning author C.J. Box has a natural gift for describing the beauty of nature contrasting it to the depravities of man. This is a very cleverly constructed mystery, with many different sub-plots tying back to the main storyline. A touch of mysticism and the supernatural enhance the battle between good and evil and it is judiciously applied so readers will have no trouble believing in it. TROPHY HUNT is must reading for cerebral mystery fans.

Reborning of It�s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

This review is from:
Walking Money (Hardcover)
Florida state police brass felt fellow officer Bill Tasker killed a cop, but wanted to avoid the messy scandal of an inquiry. Thus, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement transferred him from the West Palm Beach Field Office to the Miami Regional Center. Bill would have welcomed the investigation because he knows he did not kill the cop, but goes along with the bureaucracy because he does not trust the political hacks who run the department. Four years later, he still watches his step.
Former convict Cole Hodges embezzled one and half million dollars of money donated to Miami's Committee for Community Relief. Tasker investigates the shortfall. However, FBI Agent Tom Dooley decides to take the loot. To insure that he gets away with the crime and knowing he has the perfect pasty, he stuffs cash in Tasker's outdoor grill; Tasker is investigated and pulled off the embezzlement case. Police officer Rick Bema concludes that Dooley stole the money and set up Tasker to take the fall. Instead of turning in his findings, Bema makes a bid for a piece of the action.
WALKING MONEY is a wild Florida police procedural filled with cops coming down with gold fever while the only police officer who stays pristine becomes the prime suspect. Fans will think of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World with everyone double crossing and chasing one another in pursuit of the embezzled funds. The bad cops make the tale a fun police procedural, but the tainted divorced Bill, father of a ten year old, keeps the tale focused so that the audience will appreciate a zany cynical ride.

My Long Tall Texas Heartthrob (Mass Market Paperback)
Twelve years ago, Tess Anderson took the bus to Los Angeles and found employment as a receptionist at Harrison & Associates. Through hard work and skills, she has become a highly regarded talent manager. Tess loves her job and her lifestyle.
Tess' sister Chloe calls with her latest emergency, which is usually not much more than a hangnail. However, this time Chloe is over eight months pregnant, cannot travel, and the father, Snake the motorcycle mechanic, is gone. Chloe pleads with Tess to help her. Though upset that her sibling never mentioned her pregnancy, Tess drops everything to catch the first available flight to Cedar Dell, Texas.
Nostalgic buff and philanthropic dream maker, Nick Sutherland is in Cedar Dell on a renovation project. When Tess yells at him for evicting her sister from that dump of a trailer, he envisions Ginger Rogers. However, he snaps out of his reverie saying Chloe and the babies need a better place to live. Tess agrees, but Chloe prefers to wait there for Snake to return. As Tess and Nick begin dancing to a loving tune, Chloe has twins, but irresponsibly leaves them with Tess while she searches for Snake.
When Astaire and Rogers (make that Nick and Tess) are the center of the ball the story line is a terrific fairy tale romance. However, the twists that the vain Chloe causes are inane and though add tension to the relationship between the lead couple, these antics serve as an unnecessary diversion. "Fred and Ginger" have enough on their plate to make a fabulous romance without Chloe's worthless spins. Still the lead duet makes this a dance worth attending.

enjoyable Victorian romance
June 30 2004
This review is from:
The Price of Pleasure (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1850, a storm wrecks the ship Serendipity. Young Victoria Dearbourne, her mom and her pragmatic companion Miss Cammy Scott survive the disaster having been shipwrecked on an Oceania deserted island. Not long afterward, Victoria's mom dies from her injuries.
Eight years later, Victoria's grandfather hired Captain Grant Sutherland to learn if any of his relatives survived and if so to bring them home. Nine searches have failed, but on the tenth Grant and crew locate Victoria and a somewhat befuddled Cammy. They bring the marooned pair back to England in triumph. However, after living free in the wild, Victoria struggles to return to the corset lifestyle of Victorian England although falling in love with her heroic rescuer makes it easier to readapt.
PRICE OF PLEASURE is an enjoyable Victorian romance due to the antics of the lead female protagonist who is the personification of "How 'Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down On The Farm? (After They've Seen Paree)" though her big city was a island wilderness. The story line is fun to follow due to Victoria's struggle to adapt to polite society. Cammy is an intriguing sidekick and Grant and his main crewmember are solid protagonists. Still this is Victoria's tale, as she must make life choices.

By a Spider's Thread (Hardcover)
Baltimore private detective Tess Monaghan is overjoyed when she lands a wealthy client for her fledging business that is usually in need of survival funds. Mark Rubin, a modern orthodox Jew, wants Tess to find his wife and three children who disappeared without a word or a trace. Their disappearance comes as a shock to the grieving man who believes he had the perfect marriage and his wife Natalie had everything a woman could want.
Natalie never loved Mark; she waited for Zeke to get out of prison so they could be together. He was the one who arranged her marriage to Mark and he had a plan that would make them rich after he got out of jail. Natalie is not the innocent her husband thinks she is and she will go to extraordinary lengths to get what she wants. The more Tess learns about her the more she realizes that Natalie, knowingly or unwilling, has put her husband in danger from Zeke. She has a tough time convincing Mark that his angel in reality is a devil in disguise.
Laura Lippman always delivers a fascinating thriller but BY A SPIDER'S THREAD is her best Tess Monaghan work to date. The protagonist is a tough independent woman who is kindhearted even if she is afraid to make a commitment to the man she loves. Getting to know Zeke and Natalie, two people who look so good on the outside yet so ugly inside is a fascinating experience in a creepy sort of way. Tess does for Baltimore what Spenser does for Boston.

exciting wild antiterrorist tale
June 30 2004
This review is from:
Red Tide (Hardcover)
In Seattle, Frank Corso comes out of his reclusive writing lifestyle only for his former lover Meg Dougherty. She invited and he attended her photography exhibition that is so successful an Arts Commission member looking at the red dots symbolizing sold called it the measles. However, at the height of Meg's triumph, the police arrive to evacuate the building due to a toxic chemical spill.
Unable to ignore the journalistic tendencies that seem to make up much of his brain matter, Frank sneaks his way onto the investigation. He quickly learns of a terrorist strike using an Ebola strand that has killed several people inside a bus tunnel. The timing of these killers is impeccable as the city is about to host a symposium on chemical and biological weapons. However, the law uncovers Frank's hazmat suit masquerade making him the prime suspect and turning the case personal.
The fourth Corso tale is an exciting typically havoc that readers expect from the disgraced former reporter who can never resist the lure of an inquiry. The story line moves forward at an incredible pace as Corso, dodging the cops, believes that a greater statement is coming in which more than a busload of innocent passengers are killed. Fans of the series or anyone who appreciate a wild antiterrorist tale will want to ride alongside Corso, one of the better brooding champions.
