San Andreas was back in 2004 remember - 8 years ago now.
A Jet Pack, while a bit more feasible now is still a little out there, yes a man can jump out of a helicopter and propel himself using small engines, and there's the one that uses a really long tube that sucks up water to provide lift, but I still feel a jet pack is a bit too silly.
I'm one of those who wholeheartedly love the realism within GTA IV, yeah Saints Row's silliness is fun for a short burst, but GTA's realism sucks you into the story, characters and city and provides a much better experience.
I doubt I'd really use even a Predator Missile often to be honest. All I really want from the military, is more realistic tanks, that can't just cause a car to explode from the smallest touch.

Hailing from a small town in Northern California Mathew Catalan aka DJ Rufio's obsession for music started at an early age. As a kid he would always have blank tapes on hand to record his favorite tracks off the radio, in middle school he was obsessed with making mix cd's for his friends that used up as much of the 80 minutes of allotted time as possible, and once in high school his obsession with audio gear and big speakers naturally led to him scrapping together $900 from his minimum wage summer job and getting his set of turntables.
"There was no one who wanted to teach me, so I got tired of waiting and decided to teach myself how to mix. It's something I'm actually incredibly proud of, I have my own mixing style that is 100% my own and I'm not just a carbon copy of another DJ."
Now, almost 8 years after rocking his first event, Rufio has spun at venues across the state from Sacramento to Los Angeles. Residing in the Bay Area now, DJ Rufio has spun at numerous clubs and private events
"I like mixing it up, I don't want to be a 'one genre' DJ, I like the challenge of rocking a club one night, and doing a high end wedding the next, it's a completely different world and they're both amazing in their own ways. It all comes back to the music and your ability to connect with a crowd via said music. There's nothing more rewarding to me than working hard on my own edits/remixes of songs, and then playing them in my sets and seeing the crowd's energy when they respond to it, it makes what I do worth all the hard work it has taken me to get to this point."

Based on my own experience with a 34 week preemie, they certainly do continue to develop after being born. It's not the ideal environment, and some may never reach the same point, but others are certainly perfectly fine.
For the first few months, my daughter was certainly behind other babies born at the same time on milestones, even though at 5 lbs 2 oz she wasn't that much smaller. And even some things later in the first year she didn't hit on time, though by that point there were also plenty of full term babies who were in the same boat. For instance, she didn't crawl until after 11 months.
BUT at 22 months now, she's a bright, active toddler, whose vocabulary and problem solving skills are well ahead of most others her age. Now, I guess I'll never know how much more ahead she might have been if she'd 'cooked' for those extra 6 weeks, but I have trouble believing they're going to hold her back. It just took a little longer for her to catch up, and then zoom ahead.

Your brain continues to develope far past birth. I cannot answer your question, but I can tell you your brain continues to develope. It doesn't just "stop."
Also, remember that a baby born at 34 weeks is not technically the same age as one born at 40 weeks. Regardless of their birth dates being the same, they aren't the same age. So of course a baby born at 34 weeks on the same day as one at 40 weeks will be a little behind. They are a whole month and half younger than the 40 week baby.

Impression générale
Excellent stay
juillet 19, 2016
In total, I was there for 2 weeks. Having a washer and dryer helped me reduce the size of traveling bags.
It was excellent stay but I wish they will take more time to clean the room. They will not change bed sheet for a week at a time, some time forget to take out trash etc.
Feel like home
juillet 18, 2016
It is a nice place to stay and makes you feel like home!
Good Base for Newcastle
juillet 16, 2016
Comfortable good value stay.
It's a walk into town - but you can get down to the Quayside very quickly or explore other interesting areas e.g. see the Biscuit Factory Gallery or the Ouseburn Farm area.
Fantastic proposition combining comfort, convenience and a great atmospher

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Staybridge. It had all the comforts of a good quality hotel but in addition had a homely, friendly atmosphere and extremely well designed suites with great kitchen facilities. The location was also very good. Thank you very much.

Competitors? What Competitors? It's All a Question of Resonance.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8hh27h_UPA&w=480&h=390] I was inspired to write this blog post by the silk painting community that I interact actively with online. It was founded by the lovely Francine Dufour Jones and is a wonderful place for silk painters to connect, share and ask questions. And it has struck me how so many people have been worried about how to market themselves in the face of so much competition. Well, it's my honest opinion that we are all so totally unique as … Continue reading

A Dixon man faces charges of burglary and assault after he was chased by the homeowner interrupting the alleged burglary in progress that occurred in the 21000 block of Route Y in Pulaski County.
The Pulaski County Prosecutor's Office has filed one count of burglary in the first degree, a class B felony, and one count of assault in the third degree, a class A misdemeanor, against Dylan Patrick Orr, 19, of Dixon.
According to a press release from Pulaski County Sheriff J. B. King, deputies were notified of the burglary in progress around 1:29 p.m. Monday.
The press release stated that the burglary suspect was interrupted by the homeowner who had chased the burglar out the front door of the residence.
The homeowner was slightly injured during a confrontation at the front door with the suspect. The suspect then reportedly ran through the woods away from the home.
Pulaski County sheriff's deputies responded to the area. One deputy went to the home to start the investigation and the other deputies began to search around the area.
A detailed description of the suspect was broadcast to all deputies and a short time later, a Pulaski County sheriff's deputy saw a car go by on Route Y with a subject matching the clothing description in the vehicle. The deputy stopped the car and St. Robert police backed up the deputy during the stop.
Working closely together, the deputy at the home and the deputy who stopped the car developed probable cause to detain one suspect from the vehicle. The probable cause later turned into an arrest and 24-hour hold.
Orr's bond was set at $110,000 and he remains in the Pulaski County Jail pending the posting of the bond.

An excellent cleanser, my skin already feels brighter and my pores appear reduced after a months use
This is the best cleasner I've ever used,I have oily skin with acne scars so I wear quite a bit of make up. This cleanser gets rid of every last bit of make up and leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. It has actually made my skin look better and I would recommend this to anyone with acne prone skin or sensitive skin as its really gentle.
smells nice
feels good on skin

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Transposagen Biopharmaceuticals won $412,628 in SBIR funding to support the development of a rat model of human colorectal cancer. $312,628 of the funding will come from the NCI. Another $100,000 has been pledged by Kentucky's KY Cabinet for Economic Development's Department of Commercialization and Innovation (DCI).
The company has received grant funding of over $4.1 million since 2005, including previous SBIR awards from the NIH and DCI.
"Existing mouse models for colorectal cancer do not accurately model this human disease," comments Eric Ostertag, Transposagen CEO. "Transposagen's rat models should better mimic later stages of this cancer in humans and should more closely express the molecular, cellular, and pathologic characteristics of the disease."
Transposagen claims it currently offers about 95% of the world's existing knockout rat inventory. The firm has pioneered the use of mobile DNA technology including DNA transposons Sleeping Beauty and piggyBac to generate insertional mutations in the rat germline. Several rat stem cell technologies are now available that can be combined synergistically with mobile DNA technology, and Transposagen states this capability represents by far the most cost-effective method to create knockout rat lines.
Over 100 unique knockout rat lines are currently available, and Transposagen's ultimate goal is to create 30,000 unique TKO™ Knockout Rat Models, one corresponding to each gene in the rat genome. The TKO Knockout Rat Models include a single gene trap insertion created using mobile DNA technology.
Also offered are TGEM™ Rat Models, with a genetic mutation not created by a gene trap insertion. Models under development include those that comprise added genetic material and more refined genetic manipulations such as conditional mutations and knock-ins.
Last week Transposagen announced signing a global marketing and distribution agreement with animal model and service provider Taconic, which will market and distribute animal models produced by Transposagen.

- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- Place water, milk, shortening, salt, flour, sugar and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

- Brush tops of risen loaves with melted butter and bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until crust is brown and loaves sound hollow when tapped.
Most Helpful
I used my Kitchen Aid to mix this. DE-LISH-US!!! I took notes from others and plumped up my raisins in water first and also added 1t. cinnamon to dough while mixing. One loaf went to a friend, the other was made into French toast. I will need to get cracking on another batch - DH didn't get a taste of this one...OOPS! :)
I made this without a breadmaker. Added about 1tsp cinnamon to the flour, used the sugar and water to proof the yeast, and heated the milk, shortening, and salt together before mixing. Dough was a bit tough to knead at first, but softened after the first rising, and the final product is well worth it - this recipe's a keeper!
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. I've made this recipe dozens of times and give most of the loaves away. I get rave reviews all the time. Very easy to make and the bonus is that you get 2 loaves! Thank you for making me look good :)

iRig Pro — User Report Review
IK Multimedia
IK Multimedia has introduced an excellent new product for the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The iRig Pro is an accessory for both amateur musicians like myself or for the more seasoned musician.
The iRig Pro is a device that allows musicians to plug a guitar, bass, MIDI controller, or microphone into an iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, or Mac computer and quickly play and record. The iRig Pro is smaller in height than a highlighter. Everything that is needed for great sounding recording, practicing, and playing can fit nearly anywhere. The iRig Pro uses a 24-bit conversion from analog to digital signal. That translates into a high quality digital recording that retains the integrity of the analog instrument.

Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds with microphone
Company: Skullcandy, Inc.
Price: $49.95
Skullcandy can make good earbuds, no doubt about that. We liked their older FMJ model.
But time marches on, and Skullcandy releases new products all the time. The Weeks Division of MyMac Labs spent time with the new 50/50 earbud/microphone combo.
How well do they do the job?
The 50/50 is very comfortable. Skullcandy ships it with several differently-sized rubber ear tips, so you'll no doubt be able to find one that makes nice with your ear canal. I was able to wear them for hours at a time with no irritation or ear tiredness.
Skullcandy's PR blurbs brag about the bass output, and the PR mavens don't exaggerate. The 50/50s have no shortage of bass response, yet I did not find them overly bottom-end heavy. Given that most earbuds don't have much bass punch, the 50/50s will satisfy most users looking for a fuller low end.
Unfortunately, the microphone audio quality doesn't quite match up to the fine audio output of the earbuds. Most people on the other end of calls from my iPhone reported the audio quality to be "OK," nothing more but nothing less.
Skullcandy ships the 50/50s with a nice little round, zippered carrying case. Small is good for fitting into your pocket, but the cord is long enough that it's a bit of a tight squeeze to jam the 50/50s into the case.
Speaking of the cord, there's no lapel clip, so the generously long cord dangles to and fro, rubbing against your clothes. This causes the dreaded cable noise. Skullcandy needs to include a clip.
Conclusion. Skullcandy's 50/50 are very comfortable, and have fine audio quality, but are hampered by a merely-average microphone, and no lapel clip.

"Caves of Drach" Porto Cristo by mindcrime
Porto Cristo Travel Guide: 22 reviews and 54 photos
Porto Cristo a small port town on the eastern coast of Mallorca island, 67km from Palma de Mallorca and 13km from Manacor the biggest near by city.
The town of Porto Cristo don?t really attracts visitors itself and it seems that tourism isn?t the main income for them but numerous tour bus arrive for the near by impressive caves. Eastern coast of Mallorca is full of caves that can be visited like Cuevas del Drach and Coves dels Hams.
We decided to visit Cuevas del Drach (they are the most famous anyway), we went there early in the morning, we bought our ticket (12euros) and waited for the next guided tour to start. Although I?ve read that it gets packed by people it was almost empty at about 10.00 with only 2 buses with tourists.
There is a guide that walks slowly into the caves for about 800 meters and explains some things on several stops until we reached an area with a lake where people stand on benches, the lights go down and then you listen to some classical music while some boats are coming! After a while you realize that the music is coming from people on the boat that play in front of you for 15?.
After the small show you can take a small ride with the boat or just walk outside and visit the town where you can walk along the natural harbor or the marina. Although we saw some cafes and restaurants we didn?t spend much time here and drove to other parts of the island.

US-based outsourcer iGate says it has fired chief executive Phaneesh Murthy, one of India's best-known IT businessmen, for failing to report a relationship with an employee, the second such case he has faced.
The statement by the Fremont, California-based IT and outsourcing company, came after an investigation into "a claim of sexual harassment" against Murthy and marked the second time he has been entangled in such a situation.
In 2002, he was forced to quit India's second-biggest software exporter, Infosys, following a similar claim.
The latest probe looked into a relationship Murthy had with a "subordinate employee" at iGate, the statement, dated Monday, said.
The "outside" investigation "has reached the finding that Mr Murthy's failure to report this relationship violated iGate's policy, as well as Mr Murthy's employment contract", the statement said.
"The investigation has not uncovered any violation of iGate's harassment policy," it added, paying tribute to "the significant contributions" Murthy made over the past decade to establish iGate as an industry IT leader.
Murthy's exit was not related in any way to iGate's financial performance which remains "strong", added company cofounder Ashok Trivedi. iGate gets the bulk of its revenues from the United States.
"The board deliberated extensively on this matter, said iGate board cochairman Sunil Wadhwani. "However, as a result of this violation of iGate policy, we asked Mr. Murthy to step down."
Murthy was quoted on India's Economic Times newspaper website as saying the allegations were "completely baseless" and he would fight harassment charges "vigorously" if they went to court.
He also said he had told the company of his "personal relations" with the colleague in question.
Murthy had been seeking recently to shake up the IT sector with a new "outcome-based billing" strategy to challenge India's outsourcing industry's traditional method which charges for "time and material" rather than results.
The old model of outsourcers getting paid based "on a flawed metric of effort without any risk being shared is dying in today's times", he has asserted.
The iGate board appointed industry veteran Gerhard Watzinger, 52, as interim president and chief executive with immediate effect.
In 2003, Infosys agreed to pay $3 million in an out-of-court settlement after his personal secretary filed a sexual harassment charge against its ex-marketing head Murthy, who was the firm's highest paid employee when he resigned.
In that case, Murthy denied involvement with the complainant.
Krishnakumar Natarajan, chairman of outsourcing industry body NASSCOM, said in televised remarks that iGate's "quick and decisive" action to dismiss Murthy was right for a sector which prides itself on the "highest standards of governance".

I'd like to post to two blogs at one time. I have set up WP Chameleon (I understand this is a plugin, but I didn't get any response in the Plug in section, my apologies for posting here).
WP Chameleon works. I can see the post in the second blog. I can see that there may be ways to adjust what the posting to the second blog is. I'd like to just post the title and the excerpt, or part of the first blog to the second blog. Does anyone know how to configure WP Chameleon to do this?
In the FAQ of WP Chameleon, the answer sometimes just said (rewrite} - my apologies, but I am sort of new and don't know what that means exactly. Where should I put this? I have followed instructions to adjust php pages to tweak other things, so if this is not too difficult I can work it out if someone can kindly give me some more detailed instructinos.
Any help is very grateful - I just need to do this one thing!

I am working on mobile site, and I wanted to do mouseover highlighting on my links which have class name "list_anchor" by using jQuery instead of using HTML's :hover pseudo selector. ('cause :hover is bit buggy in Android.)
So I followed this tutorial:
Stop the touchstart performing too quick when scrolling
and I successfully installed touchstart,touchmove function to my links. Happy for a while.
However, I have links which is lively loaded when users scroll(swipe) to the bottom of the page(like Twitter).
The Javascript does not seem to be applied for those links.
Here's what I got so far:
function touchEvent() {
var self = $(this);
//behaviour for move
self.on('touchmove', function(e){
$('a,section').filter('.list_anchor').on('touchstart', this, touchEvent);
Any help, suggestion appreciated.

Unchained Blades Exiv may see localization once original releases on 3DS
Unchained Blades Exxiv may see localization once XSEED releases the original on 3DS first. The possibility of the game releasing in the west was noted in a response to a fan's inquiry on Facebook. "We're still struggling to get the original out on 3DS first," said the reply. "After that's finally out the door (hopefully Decemmber), then maybe we can start thinking about the sequel." Those who own a PSP can get the original on the handheld, as it was released through PSN on June 26. Thanks, D'toid.

FAMU Students Occupy Rick Scott's Mansion; Governor's Reply Is Kinda Racist
Thousands of Florida A&M students marched to the governor's mansion last night after Rick Scott demanded the school suspend its president over a band member's hazing death. Scott agreed to meet students out front and, oy, that might have been the wrong decision.
The white guv bizarrely attempted to quell the mostly black crowd by beginning his speech with some version of: "Hey, I grew up in public housing." To which students protested, "We're not poor!" Scott apparently learned no lessons when a similar speech nearly got him booted from a black legislator's lunch in February.
The trouble started yesterday when Scott called FAMU's board chairman and asked the school to suspend James Ammons, the historically black college's president. To be fair to Scott, Ammons has had a horrible month.
First, drum major Robert Champion was killed in a hazing incident after a November 19 football game, a tragedy that has unleashed a flood of recriminations at the school. Earlier this week, three students were arrested for beating another band member so badly during a hazing ritual that her leg was shattered. Now investigators are probing larger fraud at the college.

But when word leaked about Scott's demand that Ammons be suspended, thousands of students mobilized to march on his mansion last night.
As you can see in the grainy video below, he eventually came out to meet the students.
Alas, then Scott opened his mouth and ruined the moment.
"I guess he was trying to make some type of relation to our student body, as if we had lived in public housing," student senate president Marissa West told the Miami Herald.
In February, Scott made a similar gaffe at a lunch with 20 black Democratic legislators, telling them: "I grew up probably in the same situation as you guys... I started school in public housing. My dad had a sixth-grade education."
"He assumed that everyone [in the room] was poor and that can only be because you're black," state Rep. Betty Reed told the St. Pete Times.
Scott later told the crowd he plans to meet today with Ammons, who already has been reprimanded -- but not suspended -- by FAMU's board of trustees.

Building a Strip Canoe: Full-Sized Plans and Instructions for Eight Easy-To-Build, Field Tested CanoesGil Gilpatrick

There are two ways in which people are likely 10 start building a canoe. The first is when they are already accomplished woodworkers and they see the building of a canoe as a development of their interests and skills. The second is when they have little knowledge of woodworking but have an interest in and possibly a better than average knowledge of canoes. This book has been written with both types of reader in mind; it contains a single project with a number of variations. After a brief introduction and a discussion about safety issues, Chapter 2 begins with an examination of some of the variations which are possible in canoe design. For example, the bottom of the canoe may be flat or rounded and it may be built with or without a keel. Four profiles are suggested: General Purpose, White Water, Streamlined and Freighter. These variations are condensed into the 8 designs presented; they range in length from 4.9 to 6 metres. Construction of a canoe is undertaken by first making a strongback and mounting it at a convenient height at which to work. The strongback allows erection of the 'stations' along its length. Full-sized patterns of these stations for each of the canoes are contained in a sealed packet on the inside back cover of the book. These are the key to achieving exactly the shapes required. The pre-formed strips of wood that form the hull of the craft are then laid over and secured to the stations. Once the structure of the hull is complete, including the necessary filling and sealing, the stem is reinforced and the fibreglass applied. The inside of the canoe comes next then the decks, thwarts and seats. Each step in the construction process is explained in easy-to-read text supported by clear photographs. A special chapter is devoted to the making of repairs where these may be necessary and the final part of the book covers the construction of the paddle. The author claims to have supervised the building of some 500 canoes over a period of 30 years. His intensely practical book is a revision of an earlier work which was published under the same title.


text: The 15' Scooter Shallow Sport is a smaller, compact fishing machine for the serious fisherman. This is the perfect rig for 2-3 fishermen looking to run super shallow with less cargo. It is very lightweight, only 650 lbs, and is still a wide, stable and secure fishing platform. We recommend as little as a 60 to 70 hp outboard on the back of this hull, and the boat is strong and stable enough to handle up to a 90 hp. This great running boat is built for extreme shallow water performance and can still handle rough, choppy waters.

The Queenstown Lakes District Council has approved an
exchange of land at Hawea Flat to create a public track, and
acknowledged the support of the farmers involved.
After a public hearing last week, a hearings panel
recommended the council approve an exchange of nearly 1.7ha
of the Hawea Domain recreation reserve with nearly 0.19ha of
private land owned by Laing Dairy so a track could be formed
between Camp Hill Rd and the domain.
Using road reserve had been considered in the past, but it
was not possible to form a safe track for walkers and
cyclists there.
A hearing was held because farmers Bill and Cathy Allison
raised concerns about the inequity of the land exchange. The
Allisons lease part of the domain for grazing and believed a
''fairer swap'' should be negotiated.
The panel acknowledged the difference in the area being given
by the council to Laing Dairy and the area received for the
walkway, but said it was countered by the value of the
proposal to the community.
The recommendation to approve the land swap was subject to
conditions including that: one share in the Hawea Irrigation
Co be transferred from QLDC to Laing Dairy Ltd; Laing Dairy
provide a potable water supply to the domain; and a covenant
be registered on the new track title preventing the public
complaining about legitimate farm activities on the Laings'
During the public forum at Thursday's council meeting in
Wanaka, Wanaka Community Board chairwoman Rachel Brown gave a
''public statement of thanks'' to the Laings for agreeing to
enter into negotiations over the land swap.
Deputy mayor Lyal Cocks later endorsed her comments.
''We haven't had this opportunity in the past with private
landowners ... and we should acknowledge that he [Craig
Laing] has come to the table and enabled this negotiation and
this access, which is going to be of significant public
In approving the swap, the councillors amended the
recommendation to include their acknowledgement of the
landowners' support. The Minister of Conservation's approval
is still required for the land swap to proceed.
