Plans have been revived for a multimillion-dollar development
overlooking Roys Bay, Lake Wanaka.
The Queenstown Lakes District Council will install
information plaques to outline the history of some of the
district's distinctive trees this year.
Smashing crockery, throwing gumboots and straining against a
horizontal bungy were among the family fun activities at the
Upper Clutha Presbyterian Parish's annual holiday gala at the
Wanaka Showgrounds on Saturday.
Patrols will be out in force in Queenstown and Wanaka during
the busy summer period, ensuring recreational lake users are
adhering to the rules.
The quick solution or ''silver bullet'' to building the
proposed $50 million Queenstown convention centre, from the
Queenstown Lakes District Council's perspective, would be to
have SkyCity involved, council chief executive Adam Feeley
said yesterday.
Just as the Queenstown Lakes District Council-led convention
centre proposal creeps forward, the developer behind the
resort's second planned centre is also making moves.
Use of treated human waste on farmland in Australia is
widespread but in New Zealand it seems to be an idea just too
hard to swallow. Local authorities such as the Queenstown
Lakes District Council are trying to find a place for growing
piles of ''biosolids'', as Mark Price reports.
Homeowners in a rural-residential part of Wanaka are up in
arms over the size of sections a developer is planning for a
new housing development on 3ha of land next door to them.
The Queenstown Lakes District Council plans to find a new,
cheaper way to slow down traffic passing through Cardrona
between Wanaka and Queenstown.
In the old days, a public meeting saw upright citizens
gathering in a draughty public hall.

Iowa GOPers advance no-fault divorce ban amid concern divorce makes girls "promiscuous" [VIDEO]
Gassman wants to make Iowa the only state to prohibit no-fault divorce in hopes it'll help his granddaughter keep her pants on.
Iowa Rep. Tedd Gassman, R-Scarville -- a town that borders Minnesota -- wants to ban no-fault divorce. The reason? He's concerned divorce results in children who live with single parents sleeping around.
SEE ALSO: In Iowa, women can be lawfully fired for being so sexy, they make their boss contemplate an affair
As hard to fathom as that logic is, it's the argument he made on behalf of his bill during a news conference Monday. Even harder to believe? With the support of six other Republicans, Gassman's bill was approved by a House Subcommittee and may get another hearing.
Under the proposed legislation, parents with kids under the age of 18 could not get a no-fault divorce. Instead, they'd have to show a spouse was guilty of adultery, had been sent to prison on a felony conviction, had physically or sexually abused someone in the family, or had abandoned the family for at least a year.
"This basically is an attempt on my part to keep fathers in the home," Gassman said [during the hearing]. "I sincerely believe that the family is the foundation of this nation and this nation will go the direction of our families. If our families break up, so will this nation."
Here's a transcript of the jaw-dropping remarks Gassman made to reporters on Monday, followed by the raw video footage:
You know, in my opinion, it's time to look out for the children, instead of constantly worrying about the adults. If my daughter and son-in-law would've had some time to work this out, we would have a much different situation today.
And there's a 16-year-old girl in this whole mix now -- guess what? What are the possibilities of her being more promiscuous? What are the possibilities of all these other things surrounding her life that a 16-year-old girl with hormones raging can get herself into?
Consider it another example of a point we alluded to yesterday. In this day and age, it's generally not a good idea for men -- especially Republican men who happen to be elected officials -- to open their mouths and talk about anything having to do with sex.

So i've been battling with a speed problem on my WP site for 3 months now, and I finally found what I believe is the issue. First things first, about the site;
2.7.1 / 15,000+ Posts / 29 Categories / Decayed theme
Dedicated Dual Xeon 2.4Ghz / 2GB RAM
2 Other sites on the box have pages loading ~1 second
WP site loads pages at ~10 seconds (Google Webmaster Report)
I tried debugging all plugins, optimising, caching, the works, but nothing was solving it. Then I found a site that reports the speed of each individual item in your page (Octgate Site Timer).
The link rel data in my header is taking 30+ seconds to load(!), especially the archive pages. I have no idea, but a quick test proves that's the case. So I went into header.php and removed this line;
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=link'); ?>
I cleared all the cache, and ran the test again... yup, it loads in a third the time. The remaining delay is the link rel for feeds.
Why would that code being slowing my site down so much? Is it because it's got a lot of posts? (1,000+ per month).
I'm happy it's solved, but would like to understand what's going on, and document the issue here for other users.

NCR flag by Party9999999Watch
©2010-2016 Party9999999
Mock up of the flag used by the New California Republic in the Fallout series
Hidden by Commenter
Nice I might use this in some animation
They only care for the expansion of their territory, the NCR was a very peaceful nation under President Tandi, but under Kimball it become a very imperialistic nation. Sorry for my english.
And yet, I don't think we ever see a two headed bear anywhere in Fallout. Or any bears at all.
xD Im stuck between the hosue and NCR
fallout fans of California would like this
Y'know if it wasn't for the Legion the NCR would have been the bad guys.....think about it they are doing almost everything the legion is just on a different scale.....sure they don't crucify anyone but they are not above shoving local populations around and flat out STEALING resources...They don't sell people into slavery, but they DO force entire populations into the NCR so they can Tax people and draft the youths into the military.....Really at least the legion is efficient and thorough in their brutality
I would so love to have this as a shirt...
Lone Live the NCR
This is Awesome LOL I'm a fan of California republic stuff idk why xD What game is it from?
Why does the bear have two heads?
The flag is from a game which is set in a post-nuclear apocalypse.
*kicks down door* NCR!!!! *machete lunge*
For the Brotherhood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go liberty Prime!!!!!!! DIE COMMIE SCUM DIE
Alaska Republik?
This bullet is for Mr. House! Bring on the robots!
Fuck NCR, Fuck Caesar's legion, LONG LIVE THE BROTHERHOOD OF STEEL... AND (Possibly) THE ENCLAVE!!!!
No, even better; LONG LIVE MY RULE!!!!!!
No, even better; LONG LIVE MY RULE!!!!!!
come on fella's lets kick this guys ass....WITH BULLETS
i have always wanted to say that
i have always wanted to say that
There's a logical explanation for the two-headed bear, right?
The Fallout games are postapocalyptic RPGs set in an United States ravaged and destroyed by nuclear war, where the only non-mutant survivors are people who were stuck in gigantic underground vaults. The landscape is littered with horse-sized scorpions, and all the cows have two heads.

Ample Charm: After
Try renovating on a budget and see if you don't trim a bit here and a bit there until the best details are gone. Unless, of course, you're a pro like Melinda Dodson, who would rather sacrifice a couple of big-ticket items than a half-dozen small ones. The interior designer conjured this kitchen for friends Chris and Tela Webb, in El Dorado, Arkansas. "It was the least-expensive project I've ever done," she says, "yet it's one of my favorites." With the couple eager to shave costs while gaining function, style, and a home office, Dodson rejected a pricey apron sink, granite, and stainless steel for a drop-in basin, laminate, and basic white workhorse appliances. Molding gives the room a finished look—and hides signs of a former dropped ceiling. She replaced base cabinets to get needed drawer space but kept the uppers, simply adding new doors and hardware. Then, speaking of details, she painted the exposed hinges. "In old houses you often find the hinges painted," she notes. Splurges included custom built-ins, a storage-packed island, and a vintage-style weighted pendant over the sink, right where everyone can see it. The lesson, says Dodson: "Put your money where it counts."

Clinics and Programs
Undiagnosed Breast Clinic
Finding a breast lump or otherwise suspecting you have a breast problem is a frightening experience. You worry that it may be cancer, and you wonder what will happen if it is.
The Undiagnosed Breast Clinic helps women who:
- Have found a lump
- Have had an abnormal mammogram or breast ultrasound
- Seek a second opinion about a lump or other abnormality
- Have symptoms concerning for inflammatory breast cancer (swollen red breast, often but not always with an inverted nipple)
The Center also provides regular screening mammograms and clinical breast exams, which are recommended annually for all women over age 40.
Helpful Information For Your Clinician
If you've never had a mammogram at MD Anderson, please make every effort to bring your original mammogram films from other facilities. This will help MD Anderson physicians confirm your internal breast anatomy, giving them a better point of reference if any abnormalities are present.
If you've had an abnormal mammogram, breast ultrasound study or biopsy, or have had these done elsewhere to evaluate a problem, providing the results to your MD Anderson clinician will facilitate an accurate diagnosis. You may have these reports faxed to the Cancer Prevention Center prior to your visit. When you come in for your visit, if possible, please bring any prior original mammogram films, ultrasound or biopsy slides.
Undiagnosed Dermatology Clinic
If you think you may have skin cancer or are at risk, preventive skin cancer screening is your best defense.
People with fair complexions, those who have had several blistering sunburns, individuals with a family history of skin cancer and those who have been exposed to coal tar, pitch, arsenic compounds, creosote, or radium are at risk and should be screened.
It's important to pay attention to changes in your skin and see a doctor if you notice a change in the size or color of a mole or freckle; a new mole or lesion; or an area of scaliness, itching, bleeding, tenderness, or pain.
If you desire skin cancer screening, a head-to-toe skin evaluation can be scheduled. If a problem exists, a specific evaluation can be performed. If a skin biopsy is needed, it can be handled immediately. A head-to-toe screening is recommended annually for adults.
The clinic also provides education on reducing the risk of skin cancer and how to avoid a second occurrence.
Undiagnosed Gynecology Clinic
It's easy to dismiss the first signs of gynecologic cancer. These early symptoms often may appear as pain in the pelvic area or as menstrual irregularities. But a diagnostic evaluation can determine whether these symptoms are actually an early sign of cancer.
Some gynecologic cancers, especially ovarian cancer, tend to run in families. If your mother, sister or daughter has been diagnosed with certain types of cancer, this may place you at an increased risk for developing the disease. Participating in screening and early detection examinations annually, a recommendation for all adults, is your best bet against cancer.
The Undiagnosed Gynecology Clinic helps women with:
- Evaluation of abnormal Pap tests
- Bleeding not related to menstrual periods
- Chronic bloating
If you experience any of these symptoms, or if your annual well-woman exam indicates the need for further evaluation, we can perform additional tests or determine if treatment may be needed.
The clinic also provides screening exams for women without any symptoms, including Pap tests and pelvic examinations, which are recommended annually for all women over age 18.
Tobacco Treatment Program
Tobacco-cessation services are available at no cost to MD Anderson cancer patients through our Tobacco Treatment Program. Patients who are current tobacco users or recent quitters (within the past 12 months) can benefit from in-person behavioral counseling and several tobacco-cessation medication treatments, as an alternatives to tobacco use.

Cesarean Section in Multiple Pregnancy
Cesarean Section in Multiple Pregnancy
A cesarean section (C-section) makes it possible to deliver a fetus through an incision in a woman's abdomen and uterus.
Multiple pregnancies usually require a cesarean delivery. But for twin births, vaginal delivery may be an option.
Reasons to have cesarean delivery for a multiple pregnancy
You may need a cesarean delivery if:
A twin vaginal birth after one previous cesarean (VBAC) is sometimes considered a safe choice. For more information, see the topic Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC).
A cesarean section is a surgical operation, and recovery is longer than after a routine vaginal delivery. You will need extra help while recovering.
For more information on cesarean section, see the topic Cesarean Section.

I saw the same things that Joshua M saw: Obama is pretty inept at dealing with Clinton's attacks. He never really gave a satisfactory answer to her charge of not voting when he answered "present" dozens of times in the Illinois legislature, and he's showing himself kind of rattled by both Clinton's as well as Edwards's criticisms. If he can't deal with this kind of debate, how is he going to hold up with real pressure as president? For all of his likeable and inspirational qualities, I'm getting more and more the sense that Obama is still a little green on this stage...
I don't agree... I thought his response to the praise of Ronald Reagan was great. Hillary looked way more rattled than he did.
When Obama does seem a bit liaise fair, I get the impression that he is just thinking, "Why am I even bothering to respond to this crap when it is so obvious that I am right?"
It was frustrating all around - Hillary was carping and Obama wavering. It was interesting in the sense that we caught a glimpse of spontaneity from candidates that we'll probably seldom see again. But it also displayed the least flattering qualities of both of them.
And, like I said before, I'm now thinking the candidate I want to see win the most is Romney. (The nomination, of course - not the election. Ugh.) Maybe I'll caucus with the GOP.
Obama did a really nice job being sensitive and open to the people sitting next to him (Edwards and Clinton), like, Obama was right there to reaffirm Edwards when he made jokes in general and jokes about being "the white guy". He's very lovely that way.
Hillary still needs a voice coach, but she is totally on the ball with numbers.. like the amount of change in average African American family income during the Bill Clinton years (up!) versus the last 7 years (down!).
The campaign for general election makes me a little nervous. Edwards pointed out he was (the white guy) that could beat McCain in rural and urban areas of every state in the union, not just in typical democratic strongholds. BUT, it was another night, cat fighting aside, that I was excited for non-Republicans, and America.
all around it was a good debate. like @3 said, we saw a lot of spontaneity that just hasn't been there. debates should show the benefits and the flaws of all sides of the argument. and i think tonight's debate did just thatsomething none of the other forums have managed to accomplish.
and edwards actually crawled off the stump and addressed the issues directly, unrobotically. and obama cut out the pep talks for the most part and came across as substantive for once.
you really can't argue with hillary's numbers. girlfriend does her homework. by now, obama should know that well. i'm willing to forgive him that this time around, though, because he actually stepped out of his hope and change rhetoric and talked in terms of solutions. he's never been good at debates, though, which is one reason i still support hillary: as she said tonight she's been dealing with this bullshit for 16 years and she'll keep dealing with it. i think she actually said she'll "go to the mat" and not stop until some change happens.
Agree w/ the Hillary sledgehammer effect. But listen to what Obama inserted while she was in the process of swinging that sledgehammer:
"I can't tell who I'm running against sometimes."
If things gets nastier than they did tonight (and there's no reason to believe they won't), then Obama is going to be forced to go nuclear and start dragging Bill into things more than parenthetically.
And who knows where that ends up...
What do I see? I see the odds tilting towards the GOP.
I checked youtube, there are only highlights. Where can I watch the entire debate online?
Just in terms of performance, I get annoyed every time Obama stutters. But maybe I'm the only one with that reaction.
Edwards often says things I agree with, but then I keep remembering his performance again Cheney in the debate and I wince. He could have knocked down Cheney but he just sat there and smiled.
for fuck's sake. the Dems are fucking themselves all over again. If McCain is the GOP candidate we're screwed. All over again.
I also think it's very risky for Obama to bash Bill; I think that approach is gonna blow up his chances.
You can probably see the whole thing on CNN.com
As per the debate itself, of course, Obama seemed weak on the debate, his strength is rhetoric, and I find him a little lacking in substance. Mind you, I am no HRC supporter, and find the post a few days ago about the executive branch being made for a populous who needed a figure to worship a valid point. Congress should be so much stronger than it is, and I hate to see two strong senators wasting so much time on this campaign rather than what they can get done in the Senate.
I didn't like it. It felt like mommy and daddy were fighting. We need more unity and less in-fighting.
What would Clinton/Obama/Edwards do about this:
@14 We need Unity, Experience, and sons of mill-workers
Wow I liked the whole thing. I gotta say we have some totally kick ass candidates. Hil is a sledge but Barak is so calm and reasoned even when frustrated. I love the way he brings things around to a better place. I imagine that's the way Lincoln got his policies accomplished. In the end they all were very respectful of each other. I want them all to be president. The only thing that stuck out for me was that Edwards has a gaping hole when it comes to foreign policy. I love his domestic stance but he doesn't portray much beyond that, he needs to work on that.
I see Obama as trying to carve out a niche by more or less creating a category of liberterian democrats: more or less social liberals who have liberterian leanings when it comes to the economy.
He's actually learned something from Bush. You don't need to speak to every constituency with everything you say. You simply need to appeal to each without alienating the others too much.
That's the way the republicans have managed to make odd bedfellows of the christian right and liberterians, and there's no reason it can't work for Obama and the dems. The question is whether he gets the "without alienating the others too much" bit right. It's ballsy of him to make the move though, and it's definitely a forward thinking move. He's not just thinking about the Clintons at this point. He's thinking of the whitehouse. That's a good thing.
I did think that it was not Obama's best evening tonight, but I can say that I'm even less thrilled about voting for HRC than ever. She's done her homework, but she hit a few notes tonight that reminded me *again* that she's more running on Bill's record than her own, and that she really is the establishment candidate in the party despite what she says about her plans.
And @6:
he's never been good at debates, though, which is one reason i still support hillary: as she said tonight she's been dealing with this bullshit for 16 years and she'll keep dealing with it. i think she actually said she'll "go to the mat" and not stop until some change happens.
To be frank, there's a *big* difference between dealing with bullshit about personal attacks, and dealing with political bullshit to get policy pushed through. And to be frank, she *didn't* deal with the bullshit. She failed in her attempt to reform health care, and if she actually were an elected official or a cabinet secretary, she would have been out of a job after that.
Is that really dealing with bullshit?
A campaign is a verbal fight and you don't have the luxury of avoiding attacks. So, one can't "rise above it all" and stick to one's own uplifting speech. Instead, you've got to parry quickly, then pivot and thrust by getting back to your positive message and frame. Hillary is good at that; her attack on Obama for complimenting Republican ideas let her pivot back to the good times under President Clinton.
Obama's not good at it. His main message is his opposition to the Iraq war and how he's unique in that he did not give in to fear, or use fear, the way others did. He could have said "well, Hillary, let's be frank. When Reagan fought the cold war against the Soviets and we won, he didn't use the politics of fear or give in to fear or launch a reckless war, the way you and George Bush did with that vote to allow a war in Iraq. President Reagan trusted in America's greatness and strength. I'd do the same thing to fight Islmaic terrorists. We're going to wait them out, we're going to show the people over there we have a better way, we're going to fully and adequately defend and attack when they threaten harm, but we're not going to launch reckless wars out of fear or fearmongering -- like you helped to do when you gave George Bush carte blanche to start the war."
"We need a wiser and steadier hand on the tiller, and that's the change I will bring as President."
Quibbling about what Bill said and carping that both Hill and Bill were attacking him, without getting back to his positive message that would put Hillary on defense, shows Obama's not ready to fight McCain and the GOP 527's.
Yes, we all recall how important those debates were for Bush in 2004. Kerry creamed him in all the debates while Bush kept waiting for instructions via the black-box strapped to his back.... and Muddle America still voted for him.
(And he stole Ohio anyway, read the Conyers report)
Hillary might be a better debater, but does it dismantle her negatives? Or emphasize them?
You people continually underestimate Obama because he's new and Hillary's been around the block. It seems like people are expecting him to crack at any moment under the pressure of it all. You all just wait and see. I'm telling you, this kid ain't someone to take lightly.
Count me as an Obama supporter, but this is really starting to look like a Clinton/Obama ticket.
To those who think this isn't viable, consider: Hillary will do anything to be president, right? ANYTHING. Attaching herself to the Obama tide seems like a no-brainer. And if you're Obama, what are you going to do? NOT accept such an offer?
Yeah, things got a little testy tonight, but in the big picture, big deal. Obama has been cautious not to call Bill a liar -- but I'd seriously pay money to hear it happen!
Obama will probably win South Carolina. But it's hard to see how he makes a big run on Super Tuesday. He's behind in a lot of key states, and the waning Edwards vote seems to be pretty evenly working its way to Clinton and Obama.
Altogether now... Clinton/Obama '08... As much as I'd rather see it Obama/Biden, I'm getting warmed up to the new reality.
I still stand by this - best ticket out there:
I can't say how excited I am about a Clinton/Obama Ticket. That would be totally perfect.
I prefer Obama/Clinton
It's hard for me to consider what this may have looked like to someone who didn't know she was lying, but if you all thought she won this round, then she won it. I couldn't get past "LIAR!"
Which is apparently how Reality Based Community saw it [note his bounty offer at the end]:
I think that a President Obama would give kick ass State of the Union speeches that would go down in history books, but he'd get bulldozed by the Repubs. on a daily basis.
hillary sounded shrill and her attacks came off as needless and did not show her in a good light. her debate performances make her look like a weaker candidate all the time. she may get the nomination, she looks terrible to me in the general. shrill, annoying and souless.
@21 has it right. the majority of americans don't care about who "won" the debate. maybe hillary got her numbers right (though I think Obama, especially in the 2nd half, "won" this debate) but she is not likeable. she would not "wear well" in the general.
her main point is that she's a great bureaucrat. guess what, that was Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry's claim. bureaucrats lose, engaging powerful leaders win. Obama should be the nominee if you actually want to win in November.
i told my dad (a "dan evans" republican) that if the R's wanted to win in 2000, they should nominate McCain. he would have killed Gore by 10 points.
if you want to win the general election, not debate score cards or old-establishment democratic endorsements (who have presided over a nice long tradition of D loses) then you should be for Obama.
Remember his wife talking about how he's not willing to win at all costs?
Apparently, if he can't win the office by being thoughtful and civil, he doesn't want it.
I've had moments of worry about this when it comes to the general election, but in truth, I think you can tear the Repubs to shreds while being thoughtful and civil. Just tell the truth.
I'm a lifelong Dem voter, usually vote a straight Dem ticket -- dunno that I could vote for Hillary over McCain (though Lieberman as his running mate could tip the balance, the way it made me have to hold my nose to vote Gore in 2000) and I literally don't know anyone personally who's hasn't said the same thing to me.
Clinton/Obama would be a dream ticket for me.
@24- who is this Edwards fellow? Bob Edwards from NPR?
Count me as another one in the camp with @32. I'm done with Hillary. I can't stand to listen to her sleazy and tendentious attacks any longer. I never thought I'd say this as a lifelong dem but if she wins the nomination I'm sitting this one out come November.
Also--to all those who are salivating over a Clinton/Obama ticket, I think you haven't been paying much attention. They loathe each other. Not gonna happen.
@32 and @ 34 I'm right there with you...
The Dems better wake up and realize how many of us exist who believe the same thing.
The Clinton haters who are threatening to sit out the election need to get over themselves. Hillary Clinton on her worst day is better than John McCain on his best day, and she's better than the rest of the Republicans, too.
I'm not a big fan of the Clintons. I hated Bill Clinton's triangulating politics so much that I voted for Ralph Nader--in 1996! But you have to compare with the last seven years, and realize that every single Republican has campaigned on continuing the mistakes of the Bush presidency. You want more useless war in Iraq--hey, vote McCain, who will also scare the country shitless about terrorism for his own benefit and who was a key player in legalizing military tribunals and the president's right to redefine torture back in 2006. Or don't vote, which is just as bad as voting for McCain.
The way the Clinton and Obama campaigns are starting to go at each other, the Democrats are going to lose in November unless the two factions come to some kind of power-sharing agreement. Anyone who's not blinded by candidate preference can see that the top three Democrats are all capable people with relatively similar politics, and different approaches to bring to the table that complement each other. We need a unity government of the center left, and that means finding roles for all three of the top candidates. If Hillary Clinton wins the nomination, Obama's her best choice for VP. If Obama wins it, I think he'd be better off choosing Wesley Clark (who is close to the Clintons), with Hillary Clinton taking over for Harry Reid in the Senate leadership, coordinating the White House and Congressional approach on legislation. Edwards could lead the health care effort, or take some official anti-poverty position in an Obama administration. But if people take the losses of the primary season personally and refuse to play nice after we have a nominee, then we as a party, as liberals, and as Americans, are fucked.
Same thing, honestly. He can't defend himself against a seasoned politician attacking him on specifics. She can, and does, often coming back swinging hard. Unless he can improve his ability to deal with confrontation in debate, he just won't cut it in this election. Hillary's got my vote right now.

In the last two decades, goal orientation theory has become an important perspective in the field of achievement motivation, and particularly in academic motivation. However, as research in the theory has proliferated, the use of multiple methods to assess goal orientations seems to have contributed to theoretical vagueness, especially with regard to the origin, development, and stability of these orientations. This review article starts with a critique of methods used in goal orientation research. The article then suggests six possible theoretical models of goal orientations that seem to be suggested by the literature, including the perspectives of goal orientations as emerging from: situation-schemas, self-schemas, self-prime, needs, values, and situated meaning-making processes. The article concludes with pointing to convergent findings, implications for practice, and persisting as well as emerging issues for future research.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The surname Joyce is derived from the personal names Josse or Goce. The name Joyce is derived from the Latin word "gaudere" and is cognate in origin with the words joy and joyous. The personal names Josse and Goce were made popular by St. Josse the Hermit, who refused the sovereignty of Brittany. Joyce was used primarily as a female personal name, although some of the earlier instances were masculine. The Gaelic form of the surname Joyce is Seoigh.
The surname Joyce was first found in Glamorganshire (Welsh: Sir Forgannwg), a region of South Wales, anciently part of the Welsh kingdom of Glywysing, where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Medieval scribes and church officials spelled the names as they sounded, so a name was often spelled many different ways during the lifetime of a single person. The investigation of the origin of the name Joyce revealed many spelling variations including Joyce, Joyes, Joy, Joice and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Joyce research. Another 201 words (14 lines of text) covering the years 1086, 1172, 1487 and 1618 are included under the topic Early Joyce History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.

During the middle of the 19th century, Irish families often experienced extreme poverty and racial discrimination in their own homeland under English rule. Record numbers died of disease and starvation and many others, deciding against such a fate, boarded ships bound for North Ameri ca. The largest influx of Irish settlers occurred with Great Potato Famine of the late 1840s. Unfortunately, many of those Irish that arrived in Canada or the United States still experienced economic and racial discrimination. Although often maligned, these Irish people were essential to the rapid development of these countries because they provided the cheap labor required for the many canals, roads, railways, and other projects required for strong national infrastructures. Eventually the Irish went on to make contributions in the less backbreaking and more intellectual arenas of commerce, education, and the arts. Research early immigration and passenger lists revealed many early immigrants bearing the name Joyce:

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Mors aut honorabilis vita
Motto Translation: Death, or life with honour.

The characterization and performance of stable amorphous solid dispersion systems were evaluated in 40 research papers reporting active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) dissolution and bioavailability from various systems containing polymers. The results from these studies were broadly placed into three categories: amorphous dispersions that improved bioavailability (∼82% of the cases), amorphous dispersions possessing lower bioavailability than the reference material (∼8% of the cases), and amorphous dispersions demonstrating similar bioavailabilities as the reference material (∼10% of the cases). A comparative analysis of these studies revealed several in vitro and in vivo variables that could have influenced the results. The in vitro factors compared primarily centered on dissolution testing and equipment, content and amount of dissolution media, sink or nonsink conditions, agitation rates, media pH, dissolution characteristics of the polymer, and dispersion particle size. The in vivo factors included reference materials used for bioavailability comparisons, animal species utilized, fasting versus fed conditions, and regional differences in gastrointestinal (GI) content and volume. On the basis of these considerations, a number of recommendations were made on issues ranging from the assessment of physical stability of API–polymer dispersions to in vivo GI physiological factors that require consideration in the performance evaluation of these systems. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 101:1355–1377, 2012

editors/libreoffice has been updated to 5.0.1. However, FreeBSD 9.x is
no longer supported because it requires C++11-capable library installed
in the base. If you cannot upgrade your system or still want 4.3.x for
some reason, use editors/libreoffice4.

LibreOffice has been updated to 3.6.5 with a bundle version of libcmis. The
build will fail if you sill have net/libcmis 0.1 installed. Before upgrading
LibreOffice you should either first remove libcmis from your system or upgrade
it to version 0.3.
LOCALIZED_LANG option has gone, localized packages are now available
separately, you can also use editors/libreoffice-i18n to pick the
localization you want.

Long description:
First some background. When you hand a file to cups it sets up a chain of
filter programs that converts the file to something a printer understands.
Each filter has a cost associated with it and cups tries to find the
cheapest chain. Costs used to be configured in such a way that files were
first converted to PostScript. This could then be manipulated further (e.g.
putting multiple pages on one sheet) before finally being sent to a
PostScript printer or another filter like pstoraster which produces a raster
format understood by non-PostScript printer drivers. Nowadays most filters

editors/libreoffice: Limit libstdc++ check to FreeBSD
DragonFly's base libstdc++ *is* c++11 compliant, so marking LO
broken solely based on use of libstdc++ is erroneous logic. However,
limiting the check to FreeBSD (and the OSVERSION check after it) is
legitimate, and that's what this commit does to unbreak DragonFly.
If it had just been the one check, I would have used BROKEN_FreeBSD

Update LibreOffice to 5.0.1.
Unfortunately, LibreOffice project completely dropped support for pre-C++11
compilers and libraries since 4.4. Therefore, we cannot easily build it on

WITH_LIBCPLUSPLUS. If user is unable to upgrade the system for some reason,
the old port, i.e., 4.3.7, is still available from devel/libreoffice4 (with
no language packs).

"current" GCC and makes it easier to update that canonical version
by changing the default in Mk/bsd.gcc.mk and updating the lang/gcc port.
That is, USE_GCC=yes means "use a decent/modern version of GCC" without
having to worry about details.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) might appear to be under attack from many directions, but House Democrats showed Thursday they have her back.
At a particularly low point in Pelosi's tenure as Speaker, her chamber rejected a resolution to investigate whether the CIA lied to her about waterboarding by a 252-172 vote.
Not a single Democrat supported the resolution, brought by Republicans to keep the flagging controversy alive.
Not Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), who said House leaders "failed" to attain bipartisanship on the stimulus, nor the other six vulnerable Democrats who voted against the stimulus.
Republicans quickly sought to make those centrist Democrats pay for their support. Within an hour, the House GOP campaign arm sent news releases to reporters in the districts of more than 60 vulnerable Democrats accusing them of sweeping the "Pelosi problem under the rug."
Republicans lost two mavericks — Reps. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) and Ron Paul (R-Texas) — in the otherwise party-line vote on the resolution.
The support shown by Democrats is solid proof of what Pelosi's fellow leaders have been saying — that the interrogation controversy hasn't hurt her standing among the Democrats she leads. No Democrat had publicly criticized her, though several had declined to comment to The Hill when asked about how she was handling the controversy.
"It does not serve our country well to have these kind of politics played out on the floor of the House," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said in a news conference after the vote to defend her. Hoyer brought with him to the podium examples of Republican leaders criticizing the CIA.
The show of support also boosted Pelosi as she faces another grilling from reporters on Friday.
Her weekly news conference was postponed Thursday because she gave the commencement address at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
It was designed to revive the fading issue just as members head home to face voters during the Memorial Day recess. Democratic leaders have been laboring to arm their members with Democratic accomplishments on credit cards, Pentagon spending and climate change.

"This is about this one issue that we need to get resolved and need to get resolved soon," Boehner told reporters. He contended that Pelosi's charge is having "a chilling effect on our intelligence officials around the world."
Boehner conceded ahead of time that the GOP effort would likely fail on the floor, but he told The Hill that the press for an investigation into Pelosi's remarks is not going away anytime soon.

In his seemingly endless quest to continually put boots to asses, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has lined up not one, but two more action flicks to star in. Journey 2 just came out, he's also got G.I. Joe: Retaliation coming out this summer as well with Pain and Gain and Snitch in the works. Beyond that, he also committed to a pair of graphic novel adaptations.
Variety reports that the star has officially signed on to star in Brett Ratner's upcoming Hercules film. This one's based on the 2008 Radical Publishing comic Hercules: The Thracian War by Steve Moore. Filming on the MGM flick is set to start in New Zealand come October. It's actually surprising that Johnson has been acting as long as he has and not yet played the role that fellow buff action stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno filled during their careers.
Johnson also plans to star in the film version of an upcoming Oni Press graphic novel Ciudad, so says Deadline. The GN–about a negotiator recovering a drug lord's kidnapped daughter has been in the works since around 2008–is written by writer/director brothers Joe and Anthony Russo (Welcome To Collingwood, You, Me & Dupree and several episodes of Community) along with Ande Parks. The Brothers Russo will direct based on a script by Joe. They're looking forward to working in a different genre than normal, they said in a statement about the project: "Exploring genre has always been a driving motivation for us as filmmakers. This movie is the culmination of a long time ambition to bring our sensibilities to an action thriller."
3 comic book movies, He's signed on to do Monster Hunters Survival Guide Movie from the Zenescope comic. !
While he has the right build and can act, he's as miscast as a white, Greek demigod as Kevin Sorbo was.
