Another "Leak", this time from a "Rockstar Intern"
This is quite clearly all BS, but if you disregard that and just read it as if its one guys wish list, its pretty good. although it's a long read.
I especially like the part about how there could be models of the cars from all the different GTA eras, as with real life where you expect to see new and old cars, you could see a Perennial as it looked in Vice City from 1986, and as it looked in GTA IV in 2008. That would be awesome in my opinion.
His talk about the size of the map would be pretty sweet too.
Looks like most legist "leak" so far, but it's prolly most BS.
I really want to believe this one. Most of it sounds awesome and it's what I hope Rockstar is really doing with the game, but I just can't imagine them giving some idiot a 12 month contractual agreement as an intern without making him sign a NDA.
Some things about this "leak" that rub me the wrong way:
- The names of the places he mentions sound incredibly cheap and unimaginative. "Chola Springs"? Really? That's the same name as a region of RDR with one "L" removed. "Santa Monica" for an equivalent of Santa Ana? Come on.
- Same for the vehicle names. Completely far-fetched and amateurish.
- Red Dead weapons. Seems extremely un-Rockstar and doesn't make sense at all.
- Rockstar would never release two games with the name "GTA: Vice City", even if they're released over 10 years apart.
These are just a few things about this article that makes it obvious that it's all complete BS.
I'd love more GTA this year, lets wait and see.
Someone email him:
And no one would violate a non-disclosure agreement AND divulge so much personal information--not if they wanted to work in the industry again.
If it was real, we probably wouldn't be able to see it anymore, and why doesn't he have his Rockstar internship on his resume?
All I know It's that we just have to wait until the official news about the game, I think this time is close enough to us)
Not on my IPod.I guess I need to check on a real computer.This ain't no joke either y'all I'm foreal I cannot see this s*** on my IPod an it's Makin me mad.Now what would really make me mad is if the rumor is shitty.An it if it sounds the same as the rest of them.
ah yeah the site doesn't look like it'd work on an iPod. but i assume you can see these forums on your iPod so here's the link to all the same info posted at gtaforums http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?s...ntry1061196596
We're sure to get some information soon. E3 is coming up. Stay tuned, folks.

The aim was to test promotive effects of oligosaccharins on root growth and development at the root apical meristem and the cell cycle using the model systems, Arabidopsis thaliana and the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) BY-2 cell line. Arabidopsis was grown on medium supplemented with 0.1 mg L−1 oligoxyloglucan (OX), 10 mg L−1 Pectimorf® (P) or 0.5 mg L−1 indole butyric acid (IBA). Primary root length, number of lateral root primordia, root apical meristem (RAM) length and epidermal cell length were recorded. Three genotypes were used: wild type (WT) and transgenic lines expressing either Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Sp) cdc25 or over-expressing(oe) Arath;WEE1. All treatments promoted primary root elongation but repressed lateral root production. Only P had a clear positive effect on meristem length whereas all other genotype × treatment interactions showed shorter RAMs. Whilst IBA, OX and P induced an increase in cell length in Spcdc25, the same treatments caused a significant decrease in WEE1 oe . Mitotic indices were also significantly higher in roots treated with oligosaccharins suggesting a shortening of the cell cycle. This hypothesis was tested in the BY-2 cell line. Both OX and P shortened the cell cycle exclusively through a shortening of G1 whilst mitotic cell size remained constant between treatments. In conclusion, both OX and P do indeed stimulate growth and shorten the cell cycle in higher plants and at the cellular level are able to reverse large and small cell size phenotypes normally exhibited by WEE1 oe and Spcdc25 genotypes, respectively.

Briefly colleges
Vince O'Boyle, the second-longest tenured head coach in UC Irvine Athletics history, announced his retirement, effective Dec. 31.
O'Boyle is in his 32nd season as head coach of the Anteater men's and women's cross country programs, and 30th as director of the UCI men's and women's track & field programs after serving two seasons as an assistant track coach.
During his UCI career, O'Boyle was chosen Big West Conference Coach of the Year 20 times in cross country and track & field.
Three days after losing its starting quarterback, No. 20 Florida lost its best defensive player.
The Gators will be without disruptive defensive tackle Dominique Easley for the remainder of the season after he tore the anterior cruciate ligament and medial meniscus in his right knee during practice on a soggy field Tuesday. Coach Will Muschamp confirmed the news Wednesday. …
Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said starting wide receiver Jaylon Denson is out for the season.
Denson posted on Twitter that he suffered a torn patellar tendon and had surgery on Tuesday.
UCF linebacker Willie Mitchell was suspended indefinitely after an arrest for driving under the influence earlier this month
Knights' coach George O'Leary said Mitchell is suspended pending the outcome of a hearing in front of UCF's Office of Student Conduct.…
Air Force quarterback Jaleel Awini was suspended from the Falcons football team.
The Academy said Awini "is no longer a cadet in good standing and is not allowed to represent the Academy in any outside activities, effective immediately."
There was no indication of what got Awini in trouble.
Stanford's Tara VanDerveer will receive the Legends of Coaching award in April, recognizing college basketball coaches who exemplify John Wooden's high standards of coaching and personal integrity.
The award will be presented at the Los Angeles Athletic Club in conjunction with the Wooden Award presentation to the male and female college players of the year.
She joins retired Tennessee coach Pat Summitt as the only women to receive the award.

Around the Nation
The Legend of Argentina's Gaucho Gil
In Argentina, it's increasingly common for people to direct their prayers to the spirit of a 19th century "gaucho." Little is known about Antonio Gil, except that the cowboy was an outlaw who was probably executed by provincial authorities. But where history leaves off, religious devotion has taken over. NPR's Martin Kaste reports.
Legend has it that Gaucho Gil was a good-hearted outlaw who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Before his hanging, Gil is said to have pledged to become a miracle worker. Now more than 100,000 people come to visit a shrine at the spot of his death, where they leave offerings and seek miracles of their own — from help passing a grade in school to cures for illnesses.
"There's no historical record of Gaucho Gil — it's not even sure he ever existed," Kaste says. "But that doesn't stop these Argentines from entrusting him with their most fervent hopes — and fears."

TOMS Shoes + Charity: Water Double Your Philanthropy
A remarkable collaboration helps fuel two charity projects.
TOMS shoes and Charity: Water have paired up to sell two limited edition shoes in an effort to build a clean-water well in the village of Sekura in Northwest Ethiopia. By purchasing a pair of the limited edition shoes, consumers can double their philanthropy as TOMS will also be donating a matching pair of shoes to a child in need, as they always do.
In a nice touch, all buyers will receive project updates and photos of the well after it's finished. The shoes will only be available only for the amount of time that it takes to raise the necessary funds, so go get a pair tomorrow.

The nuts was rancid and I throad it all a a way..Will never buy this product again..:(
Not only are these macadamias delicious, but also they're naturally gluten free, safe for all people, have no known side effects, and are loaded with health benefits. What makes them so different from other nuts is their unique fatty acid profile. Macadamias contain the highest level of monounsaturated fatty acids of any nuts, especially omega-7 palmitoleic and omega-9 oleic monounsaturated fatty acids, which makes them particularly effective in treating high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, heart disease, gastritis, acid reflux, gluten intolerance and celiac disease, arthritis, rheumatism, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, various skin conditions, and cancer. Even allergic reactions to macadamias are extremely rare. Rich in B vitamins (thiamin, vitamin B6, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid), vitamins E and C, manganese, copper, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, pota ssium, zinc, calcium, selenium, fiber, protein, amino acids, phytosterols, and antioxidants, they lower triglycerides and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol, protect against strokes, atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease, help stabilize blood sugar and regulate insulin levels, normalize blood pressure, boost and strengthen the immune system, flush toxins out of the body, aid digestion, prevent heartburn and acid reflux, relieve nausea and bloating, heal gastric ulcers, soothe the stomach lining, reduce colon inflammation, facilitate healing, stimulate the activity of the body's antioxidant enzymes and neutralize free radicals, improve brain function, restore hormonal balance, help maintain healthy bones, joints, skin, nails, and hair, alleviate the symptoms of depression, and even reduce the risk of cancer. Macadamias also contain squalene, a naturally occurring antioxidant protecting from free radicals and preventing oxidative damage. I love these delicious macadamias and would recommend them as a healthy addition to any diet.

wish they were organic!
sometimes rancid, sometimes not
Posted by 5252464474389753623 on May 15, 2014
I order this product regularly. Sometime it arrives rancid, sometimes it arrives fresh. It would be 5 stars for the fresh nuts. It is 1 star (really 0) for when rancid nuts arrive. Unfortunately, it seems to be hit or miss. Someone REALLY needs to monitor the quality of these nuts.

In Tax Tangle, Amazon's Loss Is GSI's Gain
It isn't a secret that all e-commerce companies aren't created equal.
Those operating only online mostly don't have to levy sales taxes. Those allied with bricks-and-mortar stores do.
That has caused a playing field that tilts heavily toward Amazon.com and other online sellers at the expense of bricks-and-mortar retailers. But as some states, and potentially Congress, push for sales taxes to be levied more uniformly on Web shopping, a roller may be about to flatten the field.
The impact of sales tax on purchases of items like books may be too small to offset the convenience of buying online. But that isn't necessarily the case with buying a television set or jewelry that costs more than several hundred dollars.
Amazon now collects taxes in five states and overseas but doing so everywhere could hurt its fastest-growing segment: electronic and general merchandise. Growth in media sales slowed to 8% in North America in the first quarter. But the EGM segment -- items like flat-panel TV sets and refrigerators -- grew 42%.
Any change should make bricks-and-mortar retailers with an online presence more competitive. That would be good news for GSI Commerce, for example, which operates Web stores for more than 80 retailers including Restoration Hardware and Zales jewelry chain. Lazard Capital Markets notes GSI "already collects taxes where its partners have a physical presence."
GSI trades at about 16 times Janney Montgomery Scott's 2009 free-cash-flow estimate of 93 cents a share, cheaper than Amazon's multiple of nearly 21 times.
While neither is cheap, GSI would be the relative winner from any tax changes.

Imagining $7.5 trillion
Published: Monday, April 12, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 9, 2010 at 4:37 p.m.
To The Editor: I read in the Parade in the Times-News that the United States owes $7.5 trillion. I got to thinking, just how much is $7.5 trillion? I envisioned an individual sitting on the bank of the French Broad River. Every second that person throws a dollar bill into the river. The person works eight hours a day, five days a week, 52 weeks a year. Just how long would it take for that person to throw away (no pun intended) $7.5 trillion?
By my calculation, in 1,150 years that person will have thrown away 7,862,400,000,000 of our hard earned tax dollars. Now that's a little over the 7.5 trillion, but I figured, it's close enough for government work (pun intended).
The only upside that I can see is that that person and 41 generations after that would have gainful employment. Practically everything else is a downside. Just food for thought.

Videos of Captioning Problems Seen in Rome, Georgia
These videos were taken in Rome, George, at my friend Ron Vickery's house, and illustrate captioning problems after the digital transition occurred. Ron usually uses cable, but installed a very tall external antenna to receive broadcast television. The regular TV seen in the videos can display either cable or broadcast television. The antenna was oriented towards Chattanooga, Tennessee, and also picked up transmissions from Dalton, GA. The small TV is a portable Digital Prism TV.

WTTG and WDCA
Pictures of CEA-708 digital captions transmitted by WTTG (Fox affiliate) on a late 2008 Samsung HDTV. Note that captions generally do not use more than three lines on the screen. For some locally transmitted programs, the digital captions generated by WTTG improperly accumulate on the screen, moving upwards while new captions are added to the bottom. This is improper, makes the captions very difficult to read, obscures the video image, and may reflect corrupted caption data being sent out by the station.

CECB crashes
Pictures of crashes of coupon-eligible converter boxes; all occurred while digital captioning was enabled (though other people have reported crashes without their captioning being enabled).The Insignia CECB, the first evaluated, crashed five times within 30 days; the Zenith crashed four times within 30 days. Both of these CECBs are made by LG. The crashes do not seem to happen during regular programs themselves but during commercials or other transitions from channels that have problems providing digital captioning for some programs. (Two Insignia crashes were not photographed because my camera was not available at the time they happened; one happened on a black screen from a WETA SD channel.) One possible theory is that these LG converter boxes may have trouble processing paint-on captions, which tend to be used only by some commercials, or that there is something abnormal about how some commercials are captioned and which is crashing the CECBs even if the decoding isn't enabled.

The HATmobile (Dana's modified Prius)
Here are pictures of my 2002 Prius which was modified by a Florida engineer who had a Prius himself. He had developed an adapter for adding video and audio inputs to the LCD screen in the dashboard and another device to modify the turn signal.I told him I'd like to be able to use a videocamera that could be used for seeing/speechreading passengers in the back seat, and asked him to create a 3.5 mono audio output jack from the car's sound systems and a power supply for an external loop amplifier. Dave (Coastaletech) also supplied a videocamera that worked with the adapter.
Ron Vickery and I installed the loop in the car, using an Echo Loop amplifier. Head-worn microphones can be attached to a 6-input "combiner" and then connected to the loop amplifier. Multiple microphones need to be close-talking or directional to reduce extraneous background noise; headworn microphones keep the mikes sufficiently close.

Fabric (1) Ruler (1) of your choice amount depends on your or T-square. sizing. Safetv pin (1) Scissors (1) Sewing machine (1) Straight pins (1) SUMMARY This project is like learning to make a whole closet full of skirts and dresses. Follow the steps and you'll have a simple dress or skirt that is endlessly alterable. For the dress, you can make it as a halter, with shoulder ties, with straps, or strapless. The skirt is made with a simple elastic waistband, but is brought up a notch with the addition of circular ruffles, which are incredibly easy to make in the length of your choice. Make them ) Make Projects www.makeprojects.com Pagel of 9 Swing Shift Ruffles long for a full flounce, or make them short and sweet — it's completely up to you. And once you learn how easy it is to make ruffles, you'll be putting them everywhere. Step 1 — Make a ruffle pattern. • To make a circle pattern (donut-shaped) for the ruffle, determine how long you'd like your ruffles to hang. To make the ruffles the same size as I have, use the following measurements. For the large ruffles on the dress: 25" diameter with a 7"-diameter center circle. For the small ruffles on the skirt: 10" diameter with a 3 1/2"-diameter center circle. • Using either muslin or paper to create your ruffle pattern, make a mark for the center of the circle. Measure out from this center point to where you want the outer circle to be, and mark dots in equal distance from this center point. Connect these dots to make a circle. • Marking from the same center point, measure the distance for a center circle. Again, mark dots in equal distance from the center point and then connect the dots to make the center circle. ) Make Projects www.makeprojects.com Page 2 of 9 Swing Shift Ruffles Step 2 • Using a ruler, make a straight line to connect the small center circle to the outside larger circle. Now you should have what looks like a donut with a line on one side. Step 3 • Following the line you just drew, cut along to the center circle. Next, cut along the outside circle, then around the small center circle. Now you have a circle ruffle pattern. • Pin the pattern to your fabric and cut around the outside of the large circle, then cut the center circle and the line that connects the 2. Open the ruffle so that the center circle becomes a straight line, and you'll see how the center circle becomes the top of the ruffle, and the rest flows down to make the flounce. ) Make Projects www.makeprojects.com Page 3 of 9 Swing Shift Ruffles Step 4 — Make the dress/skirt pattern. Extra Small 23" 35" 25" Small 25" 36" 26" Medium 27" 38" 27" Large 29" 40" 28" • The basis for both the skirt and dress is a simple A-line shift dress. It isn't fitted, so sizing is quite easy. The versions I've made for the project are for a size small. Use the measurements in image 2 to make your dress or skirt look like these. • These measurements are for 1/2 of the dress or skirt. You'll be making 2 pieces and sewing them together at the side seams. • To make the pattern, measure out the top width using a ruler and marker. Find the center point of the top width. From that point, measure and mark down the length of your choice. Do the same from each end point of the top width. You should now have what looks like a big E. • Take your bottom width and cut the number in half. Measure and mark that half measurement on either side of the center point along the bottom width. Using a ruler, connect the corners of the top width to the bottom width. ) Make Projects www.makeprojects.com Page 4 of 9 Swing Shift Ruffles Step 5 • Cut out the dress and skirt pattern by cutting around the outside lines. This is 1/2 of your dress or skirt. The front and back of the dress/skirt are mirror images, so to cut out the pieces, place the pattern on your fabric and cut it out twice. You can fold your pattern in half and place it on the fold of your fabric to save cutting. ) Make Projects www.makeprojects.com Page 5 of 9 Swing Shift Ruffles Step 6 — Sew the dress/skirt with ruffles. • Using a zigzag stitch, finish off all raw edges of the cut fabric you'll be using. Then line up your 2 pieces, right sides facing, and stitch the side seams together using a straight stitch and a 5/8" seam allowance. • It may take multiple ruffle circles joined at the short ends to go around your garment. Eyeball how many it might take, and connect them on the ends with right sides facing. For my examples, I used 5 ruffles on the dress at its widest point, and 7 ruffles on the skirt at its widest point. Once you have as many joined as needed, with the wrong side of the ruffle facing the right side of the dress or skirt, line up the top of your ruffle with the top edge of the dress or skirt and pin in place. ) Make Projects www.makeprojects.com Page 6 of 9 • When you go around the whole top and the 2 short ends meet, you might have some ruffle left over. If so, fold back 1 side and trim, leaving yourself the 5/8" seam allowance to attach the 2 ends together. Stitch the 2 short ends together, right sides facing, and pin to the dress. • Stitch the ruffle to the top of the dress with a straight stitch. Press up the hem of the ruffle and stitch in place with a straight stitch. Flip up the ruffle and measure from the seam down to where you'd like to sew the next ruffle. There are no rules on how close or far it needs to be. This is all up to you and will depend on how long your ruffles are. For the dress, I placed the ruffles 6" below, so there would be 3" overlapping. Pin the ruffle to the dress, and repeat to attach and finish the next ruffle. ) Make Projects www.makeprojects.com Page 7 of 9 Swing Shift Ruffles Step 8 • Repeat for each additional ruffle, until you've attached as many as you'd like. • Press up the hem of the dress or skirt and stitch in place with a straight stitch. Fold the top of the dress or skirt down 1 1/2", including the ruffle, into the inside of the garment, and press. Lifting the ruffle out of the way, pin the fold down to the inside of the garment. Starting at 1 side seam, stitch around the bottom of the fold with a straight stitch, leaving a 1" opening from where you started. • Be very careful not to sew the ruffle while doing this. Step 9 — Add elastic. • Cut the 1/2" elastic to fit either your bust or your waist, depending on whether you're making a skirt or a dress. For this garment, I recommend using the measurements in image 3 as a guide. • Attach a large safety pin to 1 end of your elastic and feed it through the 1" hole you left in the casing. ) Make Projects www.makeprojects.com Page 8 of 9 Swing Shift Ruffles Step 10 • Push the elastic around the entire garment. Be careful not to twist the elastic or lose the other end in the casing. Pull the elastic out, and pin to the other end, overlapping about 1". Sew the 2 ends together using a zigzag stitch, then fit the elastic into the casing. Close up the hole with a straight stitch. • To wear, flip the top with the elastic to the inside of the dress or skirt, so the ruffle appears to come out from the inside seamlessly. Adjust the gathering on the ruffles, and you're done!

Denver Public Library's Schlessman Hall hosts some of Colorado's most talented musicians in the Fresh City Life Weekend Music Series -- free! This Saturday, concert-goers will hear the strange and beautiful sounds of the nyckelharpa played by Sandra Wong.
The nyckelharpa might be the duck-billed platypus of the music world. Swedish in origin, it combines the strings of a violin, the shape of steel guitar or violin and keys used to change tones or pitch. A cousin of the hurdy gurdy, this odd instrument always delights audiences.
When you laugh at something funny that an actor or entertainer has said at an awards show, in an interview or as patter in a concert event -- you likely have this man to thank. Hollywood's secret weapon is exposed in the documentary Get Bruce!
Check out this funny documentary at our upcoming film night at the library:
Get Bruce!(1999), Tuesday, April 30, 6:30-9 p.m., Central Library, Level B2 Conference Center
Born in Pabianice, Poland in 1929, Jack Adler and his family were swept into the terror of the Nazi concentration camps. His parents and four siblings all perished at the hands of the Nazis.

"I publish my own books, so there isn't a certain editor I owe the book to at a publishing house." -- Dave Eggers, author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
Denver Public Library hosts a workshop designed to help writers navigate the changing world of self-publishing.
In 2008, there was a paradigm shift in the publishing world: more book titles were self-published than published through traditional means. In 2009, 76% of new book titles came into being by self-publishing. London-based author Dean Fetzer is leading the charge for the brave new world of publishing. He helms our upcoming workshop focused on self-publishing for new authors.
Not since Garbo laughed in the film, Ninotchka, has so much been done by one American to make a Russian laugh -- according to the documentary film, Exporting Raymond. Denver Public Library Film Series kicks off its 8th annual documentary showcase this Tuesday.
Denver Public Library's Film Series has put together a mini-collection of docs that explores the world of comedy entertainment. Documentary films are often funny accidentally. These are no exception – but they also chronicle the world of professional comedy and comedy writing. It's serious fun to watch other people try to be funny, with varying levels of success!
Learn something new at Crafts for the Masses. Our Modern Locket workshop takes the old idea of wearing a reminder of someone special and gives it a fresh spin.

The soulful music of the Indian sitar is an unmistakable sound of the East. Fresh City Life plays host to Denver's favorite sitar and tabla musicians this weekend.
Heart and Soul: Sitar and Tabla Concert
Saturday, March 23, 2-3 p.m.
Central Library, Level 1 Schlessman Hall
This morning, at the McNichols Building in Civic Center Park, a great meeting was held to discuss the future of Denver's arts and culture. The huge room was filled with some of the brightest movers and shakers in Denver.
And me.
I was honored to add my salient thoughts to the abundance of ingenious ideas being shared. And soon enough, you will be asked to share your good ideas for Denver's cultural horizon. It will be a significant moment in which Denver asks it's citizens to become shareholders -- stewards -- of our cultural growth and integrity.
The film Salomé starring Russian-born American actress and producer Alla Nazimova is legendary -- for its cast (rumored to be all gay and lesbian), its delayed release (made in 1923, it wasn't viewed by American Audiences until 1937), its complete failure to capture a contemporary audience and its current reappraisal as one of the foremost art films in cinema history with a devoted fan base. Enjoy a rare screening of Salomé on our big screen!
Fresh City Life's first film series of the new year, Vamp: Femme Fatales of the Silent Era, wraps with an exquisite relic from the silver screen archives. It's a treasure!

What does JadenInspired mean?
It means I draw inspiration from all that surrounds me and right now
those main things are family and nature. So it inspires everything you see in my shop, unique items just like Life is, constantly varied ; just like nature.
I hope you enjoy my inspired items:)
As a long time textile artist, I found the Birch bark inspiration quite by surprise, but
as my ideas grew about this wonderful natural material - it has just taken on a life of it's own.
I enjoy working with custom orders - something I do alot of and am used to doing from making custom textiles for people, so I find I already have that ability to see their vision and help people create it.

This week, Tom Cruise sees ghosts (and learns their protocols), Jackie Chan does that voodoo he do so well and Conan is no longer quite so barbaric — because he's for kids!
PICK OF THE WEEK: Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (Blu-ray & DVD)
You'd think we'd be tired of watching Tom Cruise run away from explosions — and we might've been if The Incredibles' Brad Bird hadn't slipped into the director's chair and given the proceedings a welcome shot of adrenaline. Mission: Impossible films always have a somewhat-tenuous relationship with plot logic, and this one is no different, but it all moves with such grace that it really doesn't matter.
The Divide (Blu-ray & DVD)
What if you survived a nuclear detonation, but were stuck in a basement with Heroes' Milo Ventimiglia and Aliens' Michael Beign? Sounds like a hoot and a half.
Operation Condor 2: Armour of God (Blu-ray)
There's Nazi gold — and, with it, Nazis — and Jackie Chan's treasure hunter is after it. Or something. Kinda irrelevant once you get to the finale, in which Chan once again makes his case for the hardest-working man in the kick-punch business.
Starman: The Complete Series (DVD)
All the dewy softness of John Carpenter's extraterrestrial romance, but at a breezy television pace. Also, Robert Hays stepped in for Jeff Bridges.
Conan the Adventurer: Season Two, Part 2 (DVD)
You know that Conan cartoon you'd always hoped you'd get that respected the source material and was a thrilling adaptation at the same time? Yeah, this isn't it. Not even close. But it's almost worth watching just to see how ridiculous something with the name "Conan" on it can be.
Robotropolis (DVD)
The pesky robots are launching yet another direct-to-video apocalypse. You'd think, by now, they'd learn.
I re-watched Conan the Adventurer on the Hub last year for the first time since I was a kid. While many of the filler episodes must have been a lot more appealing to my 9 year old self, I still enjoyed the primary story line. I'm not familiar with the original source material, but this series is far from ridicules.

I'm stuck. I'm running WordPress 1.5. I want 4 posts to show on front page (which is working), but I want 20 posts to show when someone clicks on any and every category (I have a special category.php page). I believe I need to do posts_per_page=20 somewhere on my category.php page and replace something, but not sure where and what...
I tried using Matt's Custom Query String 2.6, but it would be inefficient for me as I would need to set it for each category (unless I missed something).
The pertinent part of my category.php page looks like:
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
<?php if (is_category()) { $posts = query_posts($query_string . '&orderby=title&order=asc'); } ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
I know it's probably something very simple, but I think I've really confused myself in looking for answers. Guidance?

I shot it today. Shoots great! Gun has had some work to trigger, because the DA stroke is smooth, and not given to staging. Also pretty light. It hits the primers good, and doesnt spit, so I assume they knew what they were doin.

The aim of this study is to design and develop a low-power wireless A/D-converter that should be easy to integrate with other technologies or infrastructures at a low cost. This transmitting unit should be able to replace many of the signal wires between biomedical sensors connecting the patient and the sampling unit or supervision equipment. The model of today is an embedded hardware solution with two processors (FPGA and Bluetooth). A twelve bit ADC with a 1 kHz-sampling rate then converts an analogue signal that simulates an ECG-signal with typical frequencies. The communication between the ADC and Bluetooth™ is serial and controlled by the FPGA. The remote PC runs a simple software that controls the Bluetooth™ and processes the received data. The results indicate that it is possible to continuously transmit an ECG-signal without losing data.

I was really pleased with the excellent quality of these Levi's Made & Crafted Women's Skipper Slim Cropped Chinos and I love wearing them. They are comfortable, slim, cropped trousers with a relaxed fit. They are really nicely tailored and I can't fault the colour either, which is really nice, soft lavender-blue.

Other buttons around the site aren't working either, such as buttons to delete plugins. I try clicking them but nothing happens. It all used to work but it doens't anymore. I tried clearing my cache, using a different browser, re-downloading the latest update, deleting plugins I'm not using, and rebooting my computer. Nothing's working. Any thoughts?

Re: why is it so hard for some to STAY In the Garden??
And the whole culture here is to encourage people to apply, and to congratulate them on approvals and CLIs. And a lot of the time, these are people who are rebuilding after credit troubles. Probably we should be asking "Do you need that card/CLI or is it going to get you into trouble?"
A little like an AA site where people post "I managed to get served today. I asked for a triple, they said no, but gave me a double." "Oh, congratulations!"
OK, a little extreme, but....

The writer of Marvel Comicsâ âAmazing Spider-Manâ and Oni Pressâ âResurrection,â Marc Guggenheim talks to CBR TV about superhero films and his own work on the live-action adaptation of DCâs Green Lantern!
In this exclusive on-camera interview, Guggenheim discusses the secretive nature of developing superhero movies, saying that had the internet existed in the 1980s, Michael Keaton may never have been cast as Batman. The writer also shares his take on the oft-repeated maxim that DC superheroes are harder to relate to than their Marvel counterparts, and shares what in his view is the essence of Hal Jordan.

Ancient Greece Tools and TechnologyStone-cutting tools:
Made By Furqan & Nick
The crane was invented by the Ancient Greeks in the late 6th century BC. The records show that no later than 515 BC, cool cuttings for lifting tongs and irons begin to appear on stone blocks of Greek temples. Since these holes suggest the use of a lifting device, the are suggested by archaeologists as the evidence required for the existence of the crane.
- Liquid-driven escapement
- The earliest liquid-driven escapement was described by the Greek engineer Philo of Byzantium (3rd century BC). The model below describes how it works. Philo's comment that "its construction is similar to that of clocks" indicates that such escapement mechanisms were already integrated in ancient water clocks.
- Tumbler lock
- Historians are unsure where the first lock was invented, but evidence suggests that locks developed in the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman civilizations.
- Alarm Clocks
- Watermill
- The use of water power was invented by the Greeks: The earliest mention of a water mill in history occurs in Philo's Pneumatics.
- Gimbal
- The inventor Philo of Byzantium (280-220 BC) described an eight-sided ink pot with an opening on each side, which can be turned so that any face is on top, dip in a pen and ink it-yet the ink never runs out through the holes of the side.
|File:Gyroscope operation.gif
- Analog computer
- The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient mechanical computer designed to calculate astronomical positions. It was recovered in 1900–1901 from the Antikythera wreck. Its significance and complexity were not understood until decades later. Its time of construction is now estimated between 150 and 100 BC.

At Basketsgalore we assemble Gift Baskets and Hampers in Ireland, drawing upon the fine food produce of our Island's artisan food manufacturers. We've been producing these Hamper-esque products for over ten years and deliver thousands on an annual basis. We differentiate ourselves from the traditional Hamper market by offering a vast selection of both open Baskets and lidded wicker Hampers filled with a huge choice of Gift items and gourmet food and wine. It is true that you can essentially make a Gift Basket or Hamper from any combination of products, but there are 3 characteristics, which we hope shines through in our Basket range. These are; Great Taste Award Winning Irish Foods made by smaller artisan companies which have a memorable taste, Quality and Personalised Gift items, and thirdly a quality of presentation which lets the recipient know that as much care to detail was applied to the gift wrapping as to the selection of items.
Our Smoked Salmon and Meats are supplied by Ummera Foods from County Cork. Our hams are from Kildare, Limerick and Connemara. Our Cheese selection is provided by Bandon Vale and Carrigaline of Southwest Cork. The majority of our Chocolate is provided by Skelligs of Co. Kerry, Lily O Brien's Dublin and Ferdia Fine Foods, as well as Lindt Ireland. We hunt out the smaller producers with exceptional products such as Ballyshiel of Co. Offaly with their chocolate sauce, Margaret Brownlee extra fruit jams and preserves from Armagh, Filligan's Cucumber Relish and the County Tipperary Crossogue Preserves Lemon Curd and Chutneys. These are just a few of our many Irish food suppliers, and in the best traditions of the Irish, we're not introverted and will venture out into the world to bring back new ideas and tastes, which complement the fabulous food products available in Ireland.

Since the beginning of the 2005 season, WVU has lost three games:
- Oct. 1, 2005: Virginia Tech 34, WVU 17
- Nov. 2, 2006: Louisville 44, WVU 34
- Nov. 25, 2006: South Florida 24, WVU 19
Of those three losses, the only one that still sticks in my craw is South Florida.
I think of the Virginia Tech game as the last of the Old Days: Against a measurably superior opponent, WVU would have needed to do everything right to stay even.
That's the way it was for 20 years against Penn State and Pitt. In the VaTech game, WVU fumbled a punt near its goal line and Marcus Vick passed the Mountaineers silly.
(Hard to believe now that he turned out to be the good Vick.)
Against Louisville, meanwhile, an injured Steve Slaton helped fumble the game away and P Scott Kozlowski (is he still on scholarship?) punted the Cardinals a touchdown. You're welcome.
But South Florida?
The Bulls just plain beat WVU.
And it was maddening to watch.
WVU averaged only 3.6 yards per rushing attempt, about half its average for the rest of the season. Slaton and Pat White couldn't reach the edges, thanks to South Florida's fast linebackers.
At one point, White tried to sidestep a rush and had the ball swatted out of his hand at the nine-yard-line...and then picked up and run back for a TD. Slaton also fumbled at the Bulls' two as he was going in for a TD, and WVU botched a fake field goal.
All told, the Mountaineers had four turnovers, all lost—two fumbles, two picks.
For the past year (not all the time; just on and off), I've tried to figure out how USF did it. A number of my buddies, confident of a WVU win Friday night (ESPN2, 8 p.m.), have offered reasons why last year can't happen again:
- Last year, White injured his ankle, which is why he was held to 17 yards on 15 rushes. This year, he's healthy.
- Last year, WVU stubbornly stuck to its hit-the-edges offense too long—unlike this year in the Marshall game, when Coach Rod moved the game between the tackles in the second half and rammed it down their throats.
- Last year, WVU underestimated QB Matt Grothe. This year, we have one of his old coaches.
- Last year, WVU underestimated South Florida after beating them in 2005. WVU was overconfident coming off back-to-back blowout wins over Cincinnati and Pittsburgh...and was looking ahead to Rutgers.
So maybe last year really was a one-time fluke. For what it's worth, I've also heard plenty of reasons why WVU has the straight-up edge in 2007:
-South Florida ain't all that—so far this season, they've beaten what has turned out to be a terrible Auburn team, a poor UNC team, and Elon. (Wha? Who?)
- WVU has lost only WR Brandon Myles (two TDs in last year's game) while adding RBs Noel Devine and Jock Sanders and WR Brandon Hogan. They also have stronger, one-year-smarter versions of White, Slaton, Owen Schmitt, and Darius Reynaud.
- WVU's defense is improved, and is now ranked 15th nationally.
- South Florida has lost some key defensive personnel.
- South Florida won't be able to handle the emotion of a sellout crowd, and an early WVU lead will take all the wind out of the fans' and team's sails.
Of course, that's not necessarily the end of the story. Arguing for the defense, let me say this:
- South Florida has fast Florida athletes, exactly the kind that can shut down the spread.
- South Florida has the top sack-man in the country in DE George Selvie, and a pair of shutdown cornerbacks whom many believe to be the best in the Big East.
- Raymond James Stadium will be nuts until WVU does something to quiet it down. (Question: Does South Florida get the benefit of the Bucs' pirate-ship cannon?)
Two long analyses on ESPN.com Insider today broke down the game exhaustively (and I do mean exhaustively), and concluded that, although South Florida has made great strides...and although the game is in Tampa...and although the Bulls are athletic...WVU will simply end up being too much for USF.
ESPN called for a 27-21 Mountaineers' win.
I refuse to make predictions, because they're meaningless—but I can't help but remember my freshman year at WVU, during the 1981 season, when the Mountaineers started out 4-0 in Don Nehlen's second year before hosting Pitt.
Excitement was running high on campus—especially, it seemed, on the fourth floor of Boreman South dorm, where I lived. One of the fellows on my floor was a guy named Dwayne Cato (sp?), a Jersey kid who'd been a tailback in high school.
Dwayne turned out to be the sole voice of reason.
I remember him actually taking bets from "hoopies" who thought WVU would win, saying, "WVU ain't gonna beat no Pitt."
WVU ending up losing 17-0, and was thoroughly dominated by the Panthers. I get the feeling much the same could happen here: an upstart program making its first appearance in the Top 25, hosting the No. 5 team in the country in front of a delirious crowd.
I wonder if there's a Dwayne Cato at South Florida.

Fairy Bread
Total Time
Prep 15 mins

This recipe brings back great memories from my childhood.. my grandmother would always serve it at high tea, making me feel so special to eat it
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄3 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1⁄3 cup dried apricot, finely chopped
- 1⁄3 cup dried cherries
- 4 pieces potato bread
- 1 cup strawberry cream cheese spread
- 1⁄4 cup honey
- 1⁄2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1⁄4 cup edible glitter
- cut Bread into triangles.
- mix together cream cheese, honey and cheese.
- Spread over bread.
- Decorate with nuts and fruit.
- sprinkle glitter on top.
- **Edible glitter is sold in most craft stores. if you can't find it you can use sprinkles.
Most Helpful
This recipe was amazing. Even the spread for the bread went well with other things. We tried the spread with vanilla wafers and we just melted onto the floor it was so good. For the ingredients sprinkled on top, we used sprinkles instead of the edible glitter. I think the sprinkles made it look better than it would have with glitter. The finished product was amazing!
It's magically delicious and adult-friendly as well as kid-friendly. :D It's richer than the Australian butter-and-sprinkles fairy bread, definitely will make again!
Fabulous! What a great recipe - thanks for posting! FT:-)

Details Of GM Recall Compensation Plan Released
A fund established by GM to pay claims related to defective ignition switches won't limit claim amounts and will include people who have already settled a case with the carmaker. Those and other details about the long-awaited compensation plan were announced by plan administrator Kenneth Feinberg on Monday.
"GM basically has said, whatever it costs to pay all eligible claims under the protocol, they will pay it," Feinberg said.
The ignition switch safety flaw that made GM cars and SUVs lose power — and consequently, the use of their air bags and power steering — has been blamed for at least 13 deaths and many more injuries. It also caused the recall of millions of cars with model years between 2003 and 2011.
While some claims are likely to yield payments of thousands of dollars, Feinberg said that others, for death or catastrophic injury, could bring payments in the millions.
The plan was unveiled in Washington, D.C., Monday; a website explaining the program has been created to let people submit claims either online or by downloading forms and mailing them in.
GM says claims can be submitted between Aug. 1 and Dec. 31 of this year. There is no fee to file a claim.
Here are some details from today's announcement:
- The program requires people who are satisfied with their claim's outcome to waive their right to sue GM.
- Those who already settled a related case against GM can file a claim; the administrator "will take into account and offset any prior payments made by GM."
- Feinberg — not GM — will determine who is eligible for compensation and how much money they should get. The car company won't be able to appeal, and the fund is not capped with a monetary limit.
- Driver negligence — "e.g. intoxication, speeding, etc." — is "irrelevant" under the program.
- Claims for property damage won't be eligible.
- Claims for emotional or psychological harm aren't eligible.
- Eligible claims will be processed and paid within three to six months after they're completed.
