Italy Seeks to Block Lactalis From Gaining Control of Parmalat
Italy's government declared dairy company Parmalat SpA "strategic," and said it would seek to promote an Italian shareholder group in a bid to block France's Groupe Lactalis from gaining management control.
"We've been meeting with the principal producers in the industry to try to forge an Italian alliance that would combine producers and banks to build an Italian multinational that can compete internationally," Industry Minister Paolo Romani said in testimony to parliament in Rome today.
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's Cabinet today passed a decree allowing Parmalat to delay an April shareholders meeting where Lactalis, its biggest investor, would likely have gained management control. The Cabinet is also reviewing further measures to prevent foreign takeovers of Italian companies, the government said in an e-mailed statement.
The decree comes a day after Lactalis agreed to boost its stake in the maker of Santal juices and long-life milk to 29 percent, just short of the 30 percent threshold that requires a full takeover bid under Italian law. Still, the current stake should be enough for Lactalis to impose its choice of management at the shareholders meeting and replace Chief Executive Officer Enrico Bondi.
Romani said Parmalat accounts for about 9 percent of Italian food production and that the company is "strategic" to national interests. Italy's antitrust authority is also investigating whether Lactalis's control of Parmalat would violate competition rules, news agency Radiocor reported, citing Antonio Catricala, head of the regulator.
Parmalat Gains
Parmalat rose as much as 1.8 percent after the decree was announced, erasing earlier declines. The shares were up 0.6 percent to 2.31 euros at 4:32 p.m. in Milan. The company has a market value of about 4 billion euros ($5.7 billion).
Spokespeople for both Parmalat and Lactalis said they couldn't immediately comment on the government's decision.
"From a legal and regulatory perspective, we believe that any protectionist strategy put forward by the Italian government would be problematic, not least as Parmalat does not compete within a regulated sector," said Andy Smith, an analyst at MF Global in London.
Lactalis bought the shares from a group of foreign investors that had been pressuring Bondi to use the company's 1.44 billion euros in net financial assets to either make acquisitions or pay out bigger dividends. Bondi accumulated the funds through lawsuits against the company's former banks and accountants, who he accused of helping sustain the fraud that led to the company's 2003 bankruptcy.
Out of Bankruptcy
Bondi was named by the Italian government that year to lead Parmalat out of bankruptcy, and he returned the maker of Kyr yogurt to stock-market trading in 2005.
Today's decree could give more time for an Italian shareholder group to emerge and challenge Lactalis's control. Intesa Sanpaolo SpA, Italy's second-largest bank and the holder of about 2 percent of Parmalat, has sought support to keep the company in Italian hands. It's proposed its own management list that includes Bondi.
Ferrero SpA, maker of the Nutella chocolate spread, has said that it favors Italian ownership of Parmalat. Granarolo SpA, Italy's second-biggest dairy company, has also shown interest in the company.
Ferrero will consider any proposal put to it that makes sense, a company official said today by phone, declining to comment on whether the confectioner is in talks with Intesa or Granarolo, or whether it has met with Lactalis.
Bulgari Purchase
The government action comes less than a month after French luxury-goods maker LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA bought Italian jeweler Bulgari SpA and amid efforts to prevent Electricite de France SA from gaining control of Italian power company Edison SpA. The French utility is embroiled in a dispute with its Italian partners over management of the company.
France has adopted similar measures to protect its companies, provoking charges by the European Commission that it's trying to limit competition. The French government in 2005 passed an anti-takeover decree driven by speculation that PepsiCo. Inc was planning a bid for yogurt maker Danone.
Today's move by the Italian government also comes after the country in 2006 pressed the European Union to take action against France for thwarting a takeover of Suez SA by Enel SpA. France arranged the merger of Suez and Gaz de France SA to block a purchase by Enel.
Strategic Industries
In January, the French Finance Ministry set up 11 committees to monitor core industries, including cars, aerospace, and chemicals. Italian Finance Minister Giulio Tremonti may be considering a similar approach, declaring four industries strategic -- food, energy, defense, and telecommunications -- and requiring state approval for any foreign takeover, Corriere della Sera reported, without saying where it got the information.
Lactalis, a French cooperative that has a dairy joint venture with Nestle SA, raised its stake in Parmalat days after it emerged that General Mills Inc. was in exclusive talks to buy 50 percent of Yoplait from PAI Partners. Lactalis's 1.4 billion-euro bid for all of Yoplait was rejected last year.

HPLC with DAD (diode array detector) was applied as rapid method for the analytical control of the purity and stability of carboplatin and oxocarboplatin as effective cytostatics of 2nd generation. The stability of carboplatin has been measured in some infusion media (sodium chloride, glucose, sodium citrate) and compared to the cisplatin (cytostatic of 1st generation) stability. In addition ligand-exchange reactions between cisplatin and carboplatin have been studied together with the influence of temperature, pH and the concentrations of reactants. A method was developed for the analysis of clinical samples using solid-phase extraction as a preseparation and preconcentration step. The detection limits were 5 μg/ml serum for cisplatin, 0.16 μg/ml for carboplatin and 0.23 μg/ml for oxo-carboplatin.

All Rise...
Judge P.S. Colbert suggests giving peace a chance.
The Charge
"This line will be our grave or our honor."
The Case
If I believed it were possible to prevent future wars by showing the atrocities of wars past, I'd be pushing to make Francesco Rosi's Many Wars Ago required viewing for all.
The year is 1916, and things are going badly for the Northern Italian army, who've just lost Monte Fiori to Austrian troops. Worse, they've been ordered to take back the hill immediately, which means going up against machine gun volley raining down from pillbox nests. Worse still, commanding officer General Leone (Alain Cuny, Les Visiteurs du Soir) seems unable to make tactical decisions that won't become suicide missions for his soldiers, for instance, charging the better-situated enemy in broad daylight, clad in "Farina armors," clunky Gladiator-era protection that probably gave great advantage when confronting broadswords, but up against mechanized artillery spray? Not so much.
Just as destructive is Leone's slavish devotion to the army's severely outdated conduct of war manuals, which demand Draconian measures be taken against any and all infractions, real or imagined. In one instance, execution is ordered against a scout for calling a halt to a patrol run in order to save men from certain death. All too soon, it becomes apparent that the Italians are losing almost as many soldiers to firing squads and other such officer-mandated punishments as they are to the Austrians, who actually beg the Italians to stop charging at one point, so they won't have to kill any more of them. Indeed, the land between trenches has come to resemble a bumper crop of carnage.
Rosi (The Moment Of Truth), however, doesn't spare a second for the gratuitous or the sensational in his battle scenes-additional kudos to cinematographer Pasqualino De Santis (The Automobile) for his stark realism and full-canvas approach. There are no slow-motion, blood-spurting-glory deaths, and if you're looking for hacked limbs to fly from one end of the screen to another, look elsewhere—here you see corpses in various states of decomposition, muddy trenches, and the sheer inevitability that for Italians in this time and place, ignoble death is their only surety. Not surprisingly, this leads to talk of revolt among the soldiers, coming to realize the fatal consequences of simply following orders.
Chief among those affected by General Leone's directives are his subordinate officers, functioning as middle men, and often being the bearers of bad news; cynical and wily Lieutenant Ottolenghi (Gian Maria Volonté, A Bullet for the General), idealistic and inexperienced Lieutenant Sassu (Mark Frechette, Zabriskie Point), and murderous careerist Major Malchiodi (Franco Graziosi, Duck, You Sucker).
Based on soldier Emilio Lussu's eyewitness account "Un anno sull'Altipiano" (A Year On The Plateau), Rosi states that with Many Wars Ago he "wasn't interested in telling a story, but to recount the behavior of men." The downside of this one vs. the other approach is its tendency make the characters more political pawns than people, because they represent ideas instead of lives. How (comparatively) little this diminishes the impact of the film as a whole serves as testament to the project's strength.
Raro Video comes on strong with a very watchable post-restoration Blu-ray transfer (one of the bonus features details this process with side-by-side, before and after images) that is slightly controversial, due to its 1.37:1/1080p full frame presentation here, as opposed to its original 1.66:1 theatrical ratio. Adding to the mystery of where, why, and how big is enough, the director gave his approval to this print! No complaints about the dynamic DTS-HD 2.0 Master Audio track in Italian, with optional English subtitles.
Bonus features include a very interesting and informative half-hour interview with Rosi about the film's genesis, process, and the subsequent reactions to it. There's also a pdf copy of the original screenplay (available only to those who have computers with a Blu-ray drive), and an excellent twenty page booklet tucked into the case.
Unrelentingly grim and unnervingly on-point, Many Wars Ago (Blu-ray) should be part of any serious film collector's canon.

Fargo Theatre
Neko Case has always been brave, but with her latest album she proves herself fearless. With her forthcoming Anti- release, The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You, the singer known as much for her restless musical curiosity as her clarion voice charts a powerfully personal course across the rocky landscape of childhood, love, and loss. Case's 2009 album, "Middle Cyclone," was her most ambitious to date, vaulting her to new heights of critical and commercial success and netting two Grammy nominations. But if "Middle Cyclone"-laced with frogs, tornados, and killer whales-was Case's exploration of the potency of the natural world, the new album sees Case turning inward. The Worse Things Get� plunges into the wilderness of human experience, revealing Case at her most emotionally raw and yet, paradoxically, in steely control. Originally formed in 2006 as Dodobird by multi-instrumentalist Meric Long, unpredictable San Francisco indie-rock duo The Dodos acquired their new moniker with the arrival of Logan Kroeber, a fellow West Coast artist whose penchant for experimental drumming and progressive metal melded perfectly with Long's interest in West African Ewe drumming and country blues fingerpicking.

This wickedly funny and fiercely provocative play about race, real estate, and the volatile values of each is inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun. Act One takes place in 1959 as nervous community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act Two is set in the same house fifty years later, as the now predominantly African-American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification. 2012 Tony Award winner for best play.

Handicap Index: 5.8
Wednesday, April 27, 2016
Reservation system not working again. Too bad :-( great tool to reserve a tee time and save a couple bucks.
Why is the SCGA offering a tee time reservation system?
We've heard from a number of our clubs who were struggling with the costs and parameters of current tee time reservation systems, and hope this new tool addresses those concerns. It's also an opportunity for member clubs to promote their facility to a wider audience and for individual members to take advantage of exclusive deals!
How does this benefit the SCGA member?
The addition of a tee time reservation system has helped turn SCGA.org into a one-stop shop for all Southern California golf needs. Along with being able to post scores, look up courses and check Handicap Indexes, golfers are also able to schedule their next tee time. This system is open to any golfer, but extends additional cost-savings to SCGA members.
What is the cost to participate in the SCGA's new online tee time reservation service?
Golfers will be charged a booking fee of $1.49 per transaction. All fees collected are poured back into software developmental costs to keep the program alive!
How do I know my information is secure and not being shared?
All customer information is stored on an external server and is not shared with individual courses until an actual reservation is completed. Once a tee time is booked, relevant information like the golfer's name and email address is sent directly into the course's tee sheet.
What about other programs, like rewards and ZINGTIMES?
These programs are 100 percent optional to all SCGA members, but extend additional loyalty deals and benefits.
Who should I contact with further questions?
Contact the SCGA at firstname.lastname@example.com or 818-980-3630 x321 with questions.
Reservation system not working again. Too bad :-( great tool to reserve a tee time and save a couple bucks.
Reservation system worked for me this morning. Thx.
I cant get it to work properly. hopefully someone will fix it soon.
Will check this out shortly
I've been able to use this great booking system in the past but it's non-functioning now for the past two weeks. I go to book a single time at El Do and it goes back to a search.
Can someone take a look and fix it?
What golf clubs will I be able to reserve a tee time with?
Is there a list of clubs on the SCGA website that have tee times available, and the times available on specific days?
Follow up to a previous comment I made (and a lesson learned! Never say never) Michelle from SCGA, immediately after my comment and identified my problem. Although we weren't able to fix it, at that time, eventually the problem was solved. I used the system last weekend and everything was fine. Thank you Michelle!
I am excited at the possibilities of this but how will this allow my club to get the best pricing on a selected course. For example, if I contact the course and set up a tee time at 9am for four foursomes, I may get a discount. Is there any option for members to get a "best pricing available" option when making a reservation?
I tried to book a tee time, 5 times!!! Received error messages each time!! Very disappointing! Will not use this again.

"OK is the best" Altus by wendy33
Altus Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 8 photos
Me and my ex-husband were traveling to cleveland, ohio. When the motor blew-up in our chevy blazer. Luckily we broke down in front of a gas station. Altus has an air force base in it. There was really nothing spectacular about that town except for the people there. One of the guys from the base stopped and asked if he could help well he gave us a ride to Toledo, Ohio. The people at the gas station aloowed me, my children and my ex-husband to stay at there house until the guy from the base could get away. We made the trip within 24 hours to Toledo, Ohio where we thanked him. I called my dad who picked us up and that's the last time we saw him. I still get a little teary-eyed thinking about how things could have tuned out. We never went back to Altus but I did send the title to those people at the gas station to sell our blazer and all of our stuff. This just goes to prove that there are good descent people still living around us
- Pros:good people
- Cons:tornado alley
- In a nutshell:i would go back

Conservation projects
We have been a member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) since 2000.
We participate in European breeding programmes and work with other European zoos on annual conservation campaigns run by EAZA.
This year, we will concentrate on supporting the conservation of apes. Almost all apes -gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans and gibbons - are threatened, and almost all are either endangered or critically endangered, facing threats from hunting and trade, habitat destruction and disease.
The aim of the campaign is to make a significant and lasting contribution to the continued survival of apes and their habitats. For more information, visit www.apecampaign.org
The campaign's objectives are:
- to raise awareness of the issues apes face
- to lobby decision-makers about these issues
- to raise funds to support conservation projects, focusing on the key themes of habitat loss and trade, and the control of diseases affecting wild apes.
EAZA has received support for the campaign from the Great Apes Survival Partnership (GRASP), the Jane Goodall Institute and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Species Survival Commission.
Previous EAZA campaigns have covered the following topics:
- African bushmeat trade
- Brazilian rainforests
- tiger protection
- shellshock tortoise and turtle protection
- rhino conservation
- Madagascar
- amphibian conservation
- European carnivores.
Working together for conservation
A significant proportion of our animal collection represents species that are endangered in the wild and that are managed as part of international collaborative breeding programmes. These programmes are managed by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) and the World Association of Zoos and Aquaria (WAZA) and we are a member of both organisations.
Each year EAZA launches a special campaign which focuses on identified species. Past campaigns, which we have supported include:
- EAZA amphibian conservation fund
- EAZA carnivore conservation fund
- EAZA ape conservation fund
- EAZA IUCN SCC Southeast Asia conservation fund
- EAZA amphibian campaign
The aim of these campaigns is to make a significant and lasting contribution to the continued survival of endangered species and their habitats. One of the roles of these programmes is also to create conservation links between captive populations of endangered species being managed ex situ (the protection an endangered species outside of its natural habitat) and wild populations being managed in situ (in the species natural habitat).

Problem StatementPer a Middle State's technology objective, teachers at Bishop McDevitt High School must be trained in how to incorporate technology into the curriculum. Many administrators and teachers at Bishop McDevitt do not believe that social networking tools have value in education. A study by researchers at University of Minnesota "found that, of the students observed, 94 percent used the Internet, 82 percent go online at home and 77 percent had a profile on a social networking site." (University of Minnesota, 2008) "[S]tudents report that one of the most common topics of conversation on the social networking scene is education. Almost 60 percent of students who use social networking talk about education topics online and, surprisingly, more than 50 percent talk specifically about schoolwork." (National School Boards Association, 2007, 1) This research review will investigate the effects of using social networking technologies as a learning tool across the curriculum to motivate and engage students, thereby deepening student understanding and improving student achievement.
Research Questions1. How can social networking tools be used in education to engage and motivate students?
2. How can social networking tools be used to deepen student understanding?
3. How can social networking tools be used in the classroom to increase student achievement across the curriculum?

Alright, I'll bite...Rooney 23millionRonaldo 12 millionAnderson 18millionHargreaves 17 millionNani 17 millionTevez two year loanFerdinand 29 millionCarrick 14millionSaha 12 millionVan der Saar 2million Grand total of 144millionChelseaCech 7Mikel 17Anelka 15Drogba 24Shevchenko 30Duff 17Carvalho 20Essien 25Wright Phillips 21Crespo 17 Grand total of 184million But the thing you aren't seeing, which was my point in the first place, was that while Sir Alex spends big, he spends wisely, my point being that all of those players he's bought play regularly, and play well. Whereas at Chelsea, these players (with the exception of Drogba and Lampard) are all dispensible. You only have to look at the fact that they've sold a bunch of players (Duff, Parker) for a damn sight less than they paid in the first place. You can also look at the bench, where Shevchenko only gets the last 10 or so minutes, or Wright Phillips doesn't even make the squad again. Frankly, they've made a mockery of the transfer system, and it's ruined it.

OneKind runs campaigns to improve the lives of animals by affecting public policy - together we can create a more compassionate world.
Ban electric shock collars
Please take this action and email Roseanna Cunningham MSP, the Cabinet Secretary with responsibility for the government's consultation on e-collars, asking her to follow the example of Wales and ban these devices once and for all.
Justice for the Glenogil foxes
So don't let the Glenogil foxes die in vain. Please sign this open letter, which calls for a complete ban on all snares in Scotland. We will submit it with everyone's name behind it to the new Scottish Government immediately after the May elections. This will send a powerful message that we want urgent action to ban snares and prevent such cruelty from ever happening again.
Please take action now! Sign the open letter calling for the Scottish Government to make the Glenogil foxes the last to die in the grip of a snare.
More for Scotland's Animals
Our wildlife, pets and farm animals all need better laws that protect them from cruelty and give them better lives. The next MSPs will have the power to introduce these laws, but they will only do it if they understand how important animals are to their constituents.
Homes are no place for monkey business
The problem
Thousands of primates are being confined in UK homes. Marmosets, capuchins and squirrel monkeys are among some of primates being kept as pets, destined for life-long suffering in an unnatural environment. Many of these animals have been found to be socially isolated and kept in cramped and barren conditions.
The solution
We believe the welfare needs of primates can never be met in a house, shed or garden cage and that these complex animals are unsuitable companion animals. 15 European countries have already introduced bans on keeping primates as pets, for either all or some species. We now call on the governments in the UK to follow.

Sister, Sister Star Tia Mowry's Bridal Shower
Tamera Helps Tia Toast Her Upcoming Wedding with Plenty of Pink—and a Few Tears
From the pink and purple decor (Tia's favorite colors) to the menu of pizza, burgers and sushi, "everything had meaning," she says. "There is nobody in the world who knows me better than Tamera." When it came to the gifts, however, there were a few surprises—like the barely there lingerie Tia received from actress pal Brittany Daniel, who costars with Tia in CW's The Game. "I knew I could count on her to give me something sexy," says Tia. "But she had to give me a lesson on how to put it on—because I've never seen anything like that in my life!"

Details of the latest .NET Coffee Break included below. It's on December 11th with Stephen Toub, Senior Program Manager on the Parallel Computing Platform team who will be broadcasting live from the US. Last one before Xmas!
Summary: Parallel Programming with .NET
With the Microsoft .NET Framework today, correctly introducing parallelism into libraries and applications is difficult, time consuming, and error-prone. However, as the hardware industry shifts towards multi-core and manycore processors, the key to high-performance applications is parallelism. The .NET Framework 4.0 offers solutions to help make writing parallel applications significantly easier. In this webcast, we explore Parallel LINQ-to-Objects (PLINQ), the Task Parallel Library (TPL), and new coordination data structures in order to provide a look at the next generation of parallel programming with .NET.
The show will be broadcast live on Wednesday 11th of December at 16:00 GMT (Irish Time!).
All the connection details to the show will be sent to you prior to the start of the webcast.

- 3 teaspoons ground ginger
- 3 teaspoons paprika
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 4 cups cooked brown rice
- Combine mayonnaise, yogurt, onion, jalapeno juice and spices in a medium bowl (you may decide to add more curry to taste).
- Being careful not to tear the artichoke hearts apart too much, gently add to spice mixture and set aside.
- Spray a large pan with cooking spray and let heat over medium-high for about 30 seconds.
- Add chicken, stirring to cook until it is no longer pink in the middle.
- Pour spice mixture into the pan, gently stirring for about 5 minutes (still on med-high heat).
- Serve over brown rice.

This was good. I really liked the sauce, and wished there was even more of it. I forgot to add the jalapeno juice, but I think that would make it even better. I also liked using brown rice to make it even healthier. I made this ahead, and reheated it, putting it over fresh rice.
This is super good. Really curry-ish and a snap to put together. The chicken was super tender. Would be lovely with some chopped cilantro or mint on top. Will make again. Yum!

Love this place..Beds and bedding is luxurious, we love all the rooms we've stayed in but the Shiraz is our fav and the pool is wonderful as well...We love that we can bring our dogs with us....... Wouldn't stay anywhere else!

I needed to get away to a little peace and quiet. Garden and the Sea is perfect - it feels very secluded, but is close to all the local attractions! My room was lovely and the breakfast was delicious. Great amenities! The pool was refreshing after a hot day of outdoor exploring. And I really appreciated the after dinner port. ;)

My wife and I enjoyed very much our two-night stay at that Garden and Sea Inn, and appreciate greatly Thomas and Dorothee's hospitality. We were initially booked for one night and extended to stay another because it was so pleasant. The breakfasts that we enjoyed both mornings were fabulous, so much better prepared than one normally gets within our experience at a B&B. Dorothee is quite the chef! I took pleasure each evening in retreating to the drawing room where I could read and enjoy a snack and a glass of port wine. All the comforts of home!

My wife and I have visited this wonderful place Many times over the last 5 years and have enjoyed our stay every time, Dorothee and Thomas are a very charming couple and the food is first rate. The owners and staff at the Garden and Sea are always friendly and make us feel right at home. The only complaint I can think of is that our visits there always go bye to quickly

We had a great stay at the Garden and the Sea B&B Inn in New Church, VA. The accommodations were delightful, as was the staff and the food!

Can't say enough good about the Garden and Sea. If you want a really great place to stay with world class food give it a try.

Garden and Sea Inn is a real gem. The main building has a wonderful old architecture, and the whole complex sits in a garden that looked charming even in early March. Dorothee and Thomas are fantastically attentive hosts and great cooks. The room décor, the fireplace, the little bottle of Port in the living room, the large whirlpool bathtub, and the five-star gourmet breakfasts all made our stay feel very festive. The B&B is within a short drive from Chincoteague, which some may consider as a disadvantage but was actually a real plus for us. We came to visit the Wildlife Refuge and Chincoteague the town felt way too commercialized for our taste. Getting away from it to a charming little oasis was absolutely fantastic. If I am ever in the area again I will definitely go back to Dorothee and Thomas.

I had the very good fortune of staying at Garden and the Sea B&B last weekend, during the Great Blizzard of 2016. My friends and family all strongly encouraged me to cancel my trip due to the impending storm. I'm very happy I didn't because my visit was everything I could have hoped for. My room was beautiful! Everything was exactly as pictured on the website! The bedroom was large and bright, with an oh-so-comfy king size bed that was a perfect place to snuggle up during a storm. Right outside the bedroom is a cute little deck and a fenced in area which would have been perfect for a dog. The property managers, Robin and Steve, were great. They went over and above to make sure that I was comfortable and had everything I needed. And Robin is a terrific cook! Breakfasts were outstanding! The inn is conveniently located to a variety of restaurants, even in the off-season, as well as to Chincoteague and the wildlife refuge there. I look forward to visiting Garden and the Sea Inn again in the very near future.

My wife, dog and I had a wonderful 4-night stay over Thanksgiving and the weekend following. What a special, delightful stay in this charming, quaint B&B that exudes the owners personality and attention to her guests' every need and interest. Dorothee and Robin, her assistant, were the perfect hostesses. Two of the most pleasant and accommodating people you'll ever meet. And they eagerly share their wealth of knowledge on the best places to eat, play, shop, etc., based on their guests' interests, tastes and whims. Our room in the Garden House was delightful. Simple, tasteful and sparkling clean with all the necessary amenities. And the parlor was pleasantly stocked with complimentary refreshments of all kinds. And they treated our golden retriever/yellow lab mix just like any other guest: with her own treats, bowl, blanket and a five-acre, beautifully maintained yard to play in. The breakfasts Dorothee prepared were fantastic. Unique and delicious. And beautifully presented and served in a bright, airy, comfortable dining room, with full table service and linen cloths and napkins. Absolutely the most delightful lodging experience we've ever had. And we've traveled all over much of the U.S. and Central Europe.

Talk:The Quillan Games

My First Article[edit]
This is the first article I have ever started from scratch, so any help with it would be great. I have no idea how to make the "spoilers end here" line, so I would appriciate someone showing me.
I will add the description of the book and the cover art onto the article later tonight. I edit at my school and the Pendragon website is blocked from here.
Thank you all ;D

P.S. Feel free to comment on my talk page or on this discussion page if you have any questions.
I did a little work, but I'm trying to multitask stuff, so most of it was in the characters section.
Quillan Games p. 109-Mark dreads Courtney finding out that Loor and Bobby had kissed while she's reading Journal #23 from The Rivers of Zadaa. After rereading Journal #23, it didn't happen, twice Bobby tried to kiss her and once he stopped, the other time she turned away. Should this be mentioned in the article in the trivia section as an inconsistency between journals/books? ~Gatorgirl623~ 18:53, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm using Aptana Studio on a Ubuntu system for some Ruby on Rails programming. When I run file-generating commands in the bash terminal provided by Aptana such as
rails g migration foo, files are created and linked to in the terminal.
Clicking the links will open an editor, supposedly of the file. However, this editor always shows a blank page, and is not the correct file that was just created.
The terminal-link-to-editor behavior works correctly on the OSX 10.7 machine I've tried it on.
How do I fix this?
I'm using
Aptana Studio 3, build 18.104.22.168207261642 on
ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit. Possibly less relevant, but I'm using
ruby 1.9.3-p194 and
rails 3.2.8.

I'm working on my Dad's website and he has uploaded hundreds and hundreds of images, all at the original SOOC size. HUNDREDS.
So his site is super duper slow because it has all of these gargantuan images.
I have a workflow to resize all of the images in Photoshop and optimize them for web view, and then I can do a replacement by FTP to the appropriate locations.
The issue is getting the Media Library to recognize the new files, so that it doesn't continue to load the 1542 × 2306 file that I've replaced with a manageable 450 x 600 file. (And where is it keeping that giant file, anyway, once I've replaced it?!)
Is there a reasonable way to do this in bulk or batches, either using MySql or with a plugin I haven't been able to find?
I have installed "Enable Media Replace" (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/enable-media-replace/), which will be great going forward, but it only does one file at a time.
Smush.it (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-smushit/) is also great, but doesn't change the actual dimensions of the image.

When is the best period of the year to observe the LMC and SMC in the Southern hemisphere, so that I can observe them at a reasonable time (e.g. around 10 in the evening?). I am in Sydney.
The best time for the LMC is early January. The best time for the SMC is early November. These are the dates on which they are highest in the sky, but in fact both galaxies are circumpolar from Sydney and can be seen any time of year if you have a good southern horizon.

Christmas Light Installation Contractors
Christmas Lights
Lighting By Veterans is now Commercial
It's almost that time again to start planning for our fourth and best quarter of the year. Starting October 1st,
Lighting By Veterans
is officially in the 2014 Commercial Christmas Light Installation Season. If you own or manage a commercial property and are looking for a Decorative Holiday Experience for your clients than give
a call at 469-269-2838 (AVET). We may be the only company than can completely offer a customized solution to your Christmas Light Installation needs. Let's make a decision this year that will be a building block for years to come.
Many companies agree to sign the 3 year contract and lease the lights from their Christmas Light Installation Company. Since we mainly custom design and fabricate the decorations to a specific location, there's really no need to take them back. Think about a business that spends over $15,000 a year on decorations and successfully completes their three year commitment. Year four they've spend $45,000 and don't have one light bulb or wreath to show for it. Now is the time to get the Texas based company on your site and on your property in 2014. You can reach us at LightingByVeterans.com.
Now on our fourth year of business, it's time to step the game up to another level. This year
Lighting By Veterans
will continue their Holiday Generosity once again in a couple of different ways. In 2014 we plan to hire over 60 Military Veterans to install your decorations which whom are usually found at job fairs around the Dallas area. The second thing we will be doing is introducing
Santa Claus
back to the oldest children in a family, the parents. With so many kids that do not believe in Santa, you can only point the finger at the parent who do not believe. If a parent writes an email to Santa (email@example.com) with a what their child would really like to have and why they believe in Santa than he can do his job. We will be looking for local Churches, Hospitals and Businesses to assist us in reading these emails and showing the believing parents that the "Spirit of Christmas" is real.

Commercial Christmas Light Professionals
It's normal to wonder how much work actually was involved in a project when you're witnessing it and who would you contract do it? The simple answer to that question is Lighting By Veterans. LBV completed over 180 clients homes and/or businesses last year and still projects room for growth during the 2014 / 2015 holiday season. Let's walk through a commercial project that was completed last year.
The 20' Christmas Wreath that a local hospital ordered was a pretty in-depth challenge with a two week deadline to deliver. The wreath needed to be constructed with garland and clear LED commercial grade mini lights. Attached would be a bow that's wrapped with Red Velvet outlined with LED red commercial grade mini lights so you could see it from the highway. The wreath itself could not weigh more that 1,000 pounds and would need complete padding to protect the building.
While the rush of 40 completed homes a day is going on, LBV contacted every Christmas Light Distributor in the United States to see who could deliver this wreath. The answer was, NOBODY this year however one company could produce it for $10,000 by next year. This of course would not include the bow which would cost an extra $2,500. Lighting By Veterans began to make the plans and start the fabrication necessary to meet the deadline. If we could pull this off, LBV would be the only company in the world that could deliver this while handling the breathtaking workload.
A 20' circle steel fabrication was complete which broke down into 4 manageable pieces. The next step was to fabricate the bow in perfect proportion to the wreath. Meanwhile LBV sent 2 employees to buy every piece of unlit garland that was available in our county and purchased enough red velvet material to cover the bow. Then we completely padded the wreath frame and installed mounts for our aircraft cable hanging system.
Once the project was ready to be installed, LBV had their 40 ton crane hoist this wreath up 10 stories high. It was mounted and plugged in so you could see this for miles and miles. There's really only one company that you should trust with this seasons project, Lighting By Veterans. Give us a call at 469-269-2838 (AVET) or check us out online at lightingbyveterans.com

Is removing or modifying the chrome-bar (topbar) of an OS X window possible? The window in question is the window from Terminal.app.
It's possible if you're developing your own application. If you're using someone else's then it's only possible if they wanted to make it possible.
If you're looking for a chromeless Terminal window you may be interested in a program such as Visor - an application that allows you to show and hide a Terminal window whenever you want.
The other alternative is to modify Terminal.app but I would caution against it as the downsides outweigh any advantage but quite a fair margin.
You may want to look into iTerm, if you haven't already. It's an open source OS X terminal app. I've looked into the source and it's pretty approachable if you've had a little Objective-C.

Carter came off the field after aggravating an Achilles problem during the All Blacks' 30-22 win over England at Twickenham last month.
Although the 31-year-old's right Achilles tendon was suffering "wear and tear", the surgery would be to remove bone spurs from the same ankle, All Blacks doctor Tony Page told TVNZ.
"This is similar to what he had done a few years ago," Page said.
Carter has begun a planned six-month sabbatical from rugby and will not be available for selection for his Super Rugby side, the Crusaders, until at least July.

Stay on top of dirt, bacteria, and food build-up in your busy kitchen with our selection of food service chemicals! These cleaners, degreasers, detergents, and more are specially designed for food contact surfaces, giving safe and reliable results with each use. Just check out our handy guide below to determine how Noble chemicals can help keep your kitchen clean!
Cleaning Basics
For highly effective cleaning, it's important to figure out what kind of dirt you're tackling. Soils can be divided into two categories, organic and inorganic. It's important to pick a cleaner that's designed for your needs to make sure you are making the most of your chemicals. A degreaser won't do much for mineral buildup but it's great on your griddle, just like delimer won't work for your grill but makes your dishwasher sparkle. All of our reliable food service chemicals are divided up by usage, so it's easy to find the best formula for your needs.
The W.A.T.C.H. System
W.A.T.C.H. is an easy acronym to help remember the 5 key factors in effective cleaning. Maintaining the correct balance between each of these components will ensure your cleaning is the most effective and efficient it can be!
- Water: if you have hard water, more chemicals may be needed to achieve ideal results. Check product packaging for dilution and usage guidelines.
- Agitation: mechanical action creates friction that is necessary to optimize cleaning. Choosing the right scrubbers, mops, or other tools to clean will help speed up the process.
- Time: adequate time is necessary for detergents, sanitizers, and disinfectants to do their job
- Chemicals: concentration is key! Following proper dilution levels (for concentrates) and usage instructions will deliver effective results without incurring any damage to surfaces.
- Heat: cleaning power doubles with every 20 degree Fahrenheit increase in water temperature, so cleaning with hot water is most effective.
Kitchens are busy places, often outfitted with fryers, griddles, charbroilers, and other equipment that can easily be a source of grease. Removing grease regularly maintains both the quality and flavor of food as well as the integrity of your equipment and kitchen space.
- Decarbonizer / degreasers are a great choice for getting tough grease off of equipment.
- All purpose degreasers can be used on a wide array of surfaces throughout your kitchen.
- Citrus-based degreasers boast the incredible cleaning power of orange or other citrus fruit peel to cut through heavy grease, leaving a pleasant citrus scent.
Customers might not be able to see into your kitchen, but they can quickly make assumptions about its cleanliness based on the dishes, glasses, and flatware presented at their tables. You may have the cleanest cooking equipment in your city - but if patrons' dishes aren't up to par, they won't want to return.
Sparkling glasses and clean dishes are easily achieved with the right combination of detergents, rinse aids, and sanitizers for your three compartment stainless steel sink or dish washing machine. Our warewashing chemicals guide has a great chart to help you determine what you need.
Sanitizing & Disinfecting
Cleaning surfaces with soap and water removes visible dirt and some germs, but using an appropriate sanitizer or disinfectant is important to further ensure the safety of a surface.
- Sanitizing lowers the number of germs on surfaces to a safe level thus reducing the risk of spreading infection.
- Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces or objects to reduce the risk of spreading infection.
Different sanitizers and disinfectants are used for different applications - the sanitizer in your three compartment sink may not be applicable for use on cutting boards, and your restrooms likely need to be sanitized with yet another product. When possible, choose a versatile formula to save time! 1 Gallon Noble Chemical Bacti-Free Third Sink Sanitizer - Ecolab® 17708 Alternative is a veritable workhorse that can be used in your third sink as well as on food contact surfaces around your kitchen.Shop for dish sanitizers Shop for surface sanitizers & disinfectants
