Today, Caleb Brown and colleagues announced the discovery of Canada's newest dinosaur, Thescelosaurus assiniboiensis – the first new dinosaur species to be discovered in Saskatchewan since 1926. The new dinosaur is named after the historic District of Assiniboia, where it was found. The small-bodied, two-legged plant-eater lived alongside the famed Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops, at the very end of the age of dinosaurs.

There is an incredible amount of work that happens behind-the-scenes in preparing for every exhibition. Some of that work is eventually obvious to the visitors such as the design, mounts, graphics and labels but a lot of the work is largely invisible.
After three days of successful fieldwork on the chilly Grand Rapids Uplands, we return – toting a fresh batch of fossils – to The Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg. This is the home turf of my colleague, Graham Young, and almost a second home for me.
Mexican statesman and writer Dr. Carlos Fuentes has been opening windows onto his country's politics and culture since the 1950s. Author of numerous books and essays, he has taught, lectured and received awards and recognition worldwide.
This past Friday, the Institute for Contemporary Culture hosted its first 'Digital Artist Show and Tell'. Amidst the glimmering iPad drawings in the David Hockney fresh flowers exhibition, over 30 people spontaneously congregated in the Roloff Beny Gallery for an interactive session with Jamie Alexander of Sound Selecta. Sound Selecta is a company that merges art, music and commerce to create some really exciting apps.

How does it glow?
Green fluorescent protein, naturally occurring
What can we learn?
In 1961 researcher Osamu Shimomura of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Massachusetts noticed a molecule in this jellyfish that glowed bright green under ultraviolet light (as pictured).
After extracting the molecule from 10,000 specimens, Shimomura found the protein that creates the glow.
At some point, a light bulb went off. Some of Shimomura's colleagues realized that the protein could be attached to other proteins--enabling scientists to mark proteins of their choice with a green glow.
Since then, Shimomura's green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been used to decrypt previously invisible processes, like the spread of cancer or the development of nerve cells--earning Shimomura and colleagues a Nobel Prize in 2008.
Fluorescent proteins have also been used to engineer some truly strange beasts (and the odd plant), such as the glowing puppies, monkeys, mice, fish and other animals on the following pages.

Green fluorescent protein, introduced into DNA of egg via virus (2008)
What can we learn?
Scientists at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta are using green fluorescent protein to study Huntington's disease, which destroys nervous tissue.
In 2008 the researchers infected unfertilized monkey eggs with an HIV-like virus, which changed the eggs' DNA to include the defect that causes Huntington's.
The virus also introduced a protein that would make rhesus monkeys fluoresce under ultraviolet light (as pictured)--making it easier to study the effects of the disease on the monkeys' brains.

Green fluorescent protein, added to embryos (2006)
What can we learn?
Researchers at the National Taiwan University implanted green fluorescent protein into pigs. Seen above in ordinary light, one such pig appears yellowish. Under ultraviolet light, the pigs glow green.
Though earlier experiments had beaten the Taiwanese scientists to the glowing-pig punch, no one else had done it quite as well, the Taiwanese group said: Their pigs glowed inside and out.
The scientists hope to use the fluorescence to track the development of adult stem cells in the pigs, which are genetically very similar to humans.

Red fluorescent protein, introduced via a virus into cloned DNA, which was implanted in cat eggs, then implanted in mother (2007)
What can we learn?
Scientists at Gyoengsang National University in South Korea both cloned a Turkish Angora house cat and made it fluorescent—as shown in the glowing cat (left) photographed in a dark room under ultraviolet light. (The nonfluorescent cat, at right, appears green in these conditions.)
The scientists weren't the first to clone a cat--they weren't even the first to clone a fluorescent cat. But they were the first to clone a cat that fluoresces red.
It's hoped that the red glow, which appears in every organ of the cats, will improve the study of genetic diseases.

Green fluorescent protein, received via DNA from father, which had been implanted with glowing sperm-creating cells from a flourescent mouse (2004)
What can we learn?
University of Pennsylvania researchers figured out how to maintain and grow glowing, sperm-creating stem cells from genetically modified fluorescent mice.
The team then implanted the cells into infertile mice, which "miraculously" fathered three of the pups pictured--and the offspring of the lucky mice "men" glowed green under ultraviolet light, tipping the scientists off to their success.

Cyan, red, and yellow fluorescent proteins, injected into DNA in embryos (2007)
What can we learn?
A Harvard team working with mice invented the "brainbow." When three different colors of fluorescent protein--cyan, red, and yellow--were introduced into a mouse embryo, the individual neurons of the mouse's brain became one of 90 different colors.
In addition to looking fantastic, the psychedelic mouse minds will likely lend insight into how brains work.

Firefly luciferase gene, introduced via a virus into tobacco DNA (1986)
What can we learn?
Iowa State University scientists inserted a genetic structure from fireflies into a tobacco plant, causing it to glow.
Unlike the gleam spurred by green fluorescent protein, the firefly-derived glow--caused by the pigment luciferin and the enzyme luciferase--does not require ultraviolet light to fluoresce. The firefly light, though, does require oxygen and, under some conditions, ATP, a molecule involved in energy storage inside cells.

How does it glow?
Beta-carboline, naturally occurring
What can we learn?
Adults of any scorpion species naturally glow green-yellow or blue under ultraviolet light.
First scientifically described in 1954, the phenomenon led to the creation of "scorpion detectors"--black lights--which made camping in scorpion-prone climates a less intimidating proposition.
Using ultraviolet light, scientists have been able to study the scorpions in their native nocturnal habitats without disturbing the animals, which may lead to new insights into how we might avoid them. For example, a 1972 report documented scorpions as high as 8 feet (2.5 meters) in trees.
A 2001 Marshall University paper suggested that--sometime in the past, when the insects may not have been strictly nocturnal--the scorpions may have evolved their UV-reflecting armor as a sort of sunblock.
But arachnophobes, take note: Young scorpions don't glow under ultraviolet light, because the arachnids' fluorescence doesn't develop until later in life.

How does it glow?
Green fluorescent protein, introduced into its DNA (2005)
What can we learn?
In 2005 University of Utah biologists wanted to study worm rhythm. They isolated a gene they believed to control swallowing, egg laying, and pooping.
To test their hypothesis, the team tagged the gene with green fluorescent protein in a worm. Sure enough, the throat, intestines, and gonads of the animal all glowed green (pictured at right).
To double-check, the team disabled the gene in another worm. That gave them a worm that could not swallow (left), which died at a small size because it could not eat.
The experiment may sound esoteric, but humans have rhythmic activities--swallowing, ovulating, giving birth, defecating--controlled by a similar gene, so the glowing worm could lead to solutions for a variety of ailments.

What can we learn?
In the same city that gave the world its first cloned, fluorescent-red cat, another group of Seoul scientists--this time at Seoul National University--engineered the world's first cloned, fluorescent red dog on April 26, 2009.
Ruppy the beagle--a combination of "ruby" and "puppy"--is the first successful clone of a genetically modified dog.
Believe it or not, the glow wasn't the point of the experiment--just evidence of the genetically modified nature of the beast.
The ability to clone genetically modified dogs should improve the study of human genetic diseases in dogs, such as Parkinson's, according to the research team.

How does it glow?
Green, yellow, and red fluorescent protein, introduced into its DNA (2003)
What can we learn?
In 1999 scientists at the National University of Singapore began working with zebra fish and green fluorescent protein, hoping to engineer a fish that would glow in the presence of toxic chemicals.
In the process, the scientists created fish that fluoresce all the time (under ultraviolet light) and in a range of colors.
A few years later, the first fluorescent pet hit the market, after Singapore had become the first country to authorize the sale of the genetically modified fish in 2003. Later that year "GloFish" (pictured) debuted in the United States, where in 2009 they retail for five to ten dollars at some pet stores.
Though fluorescent pet fish have spawned no scientific advances, they inspired the creation and clarification of laws governing genetically modified pets. The United States, for example, was initially forced to classify the genetic modification as a drug.

How does it glow?
Multiple colors of fluorescent protein, introduced into its DNA (2008)
What can we learn?
One of the team of scientists that won a 2008 Nobel Prize for green fluorescent protein--Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie, and Roger Y. Tsien--couldn't resist showing off their creation a bit. From Tsien's lab comes this artful plate with selectively swabbed fluorescent bacteria.
The discovery of green fluorescent protein by Shimomura in 1956 was the result of crushing countless jellyfish.
After publishing his findings in 1962, Shimomura studied GFP in detail and realized that no extra fuel was needed to make it glow--other glowing substances need chemical additives to shine. GFP, by contrast, just needed to be exposed to ultraviolet light.
Chalfie, the third of the GFP Nobel winners, realized the maintenance-free protein could be used to literally watch how creatures work. He proved with the intestinal bacterium E. coli that GFP alone--with no fuel--glowed, and promptly started putting it into roundworms.
Roger Tsien kicked it up a notch by reengineering GFP to be cyan, blue, and yellow. Yet more colors were found in fluorescent coral. He remixed these materials into glowing proteins such as "mPlum," "mStrawberry," and "mOrange."
Though their inventions may have revolutionized the fields of medicine, biology, and chemistry, the fluorescent proteins also have creative applications, as shown above. Fluorescent proteins have also been used in the name of art to make sculptures out of glowing beakers and live glowing rabbits.

I know people want to say OM is rising and will be near the top, same with aTm, but step back a sec and realize that OM went 7-6 this year and that's with two dumpster fires in the division at teams that aren't usually that way. Expect Auburn and Arky to be better as well. Same can be said about aTm. Step back and realize that their best year in the last 20 effectively got them 3rd in the SECW behind LSU (who had a down year) and Bama.

TIG Welder - P&H
From i3Detroit
Remember to always; clean up and return the equipment to a fully functional, safe state before you leave. This includes returning any safety mechanisms to fully working order. |
P&H Tig Welder
Basic Info
- Ownership: Nate1
- Location: Welding Area, against the wall.
- What it looks like:
Manufacturer Information
- Make/Model: P&H Tig Welder
- Part Number:
not specified
- Turn on the Argon Gas bottle at the wall rack. Remember that the seal system for inert gas only completely seals the stem at full closed and full open. Turn the knob in the desired direction until it stops. When the TIG machine is turned on, you can adjust the argon flow (watch the red ball in the vertical glass tube).
- Check the power switch on the junction box on the wall. Is it turned on?
Quirks of the I3 P&H TIG machine.
- Sometimes the foot pedal sticks just enough to turn on the solenoid. This is very bad, particularly if you are using an old style welders shield. Its too easy to flash your eyes in error. Best action, is to ensure foot pedal is at top of stroke before you turn on the machine.
- Argon use. The machine flows argon gas whenever the machine is turned on. Argon gas is expensive. This means turn off the machine when you have finished your weld, and don't turn it on again until just before you are ready to run your next bead.
Machine settings: What material are you welding?
- Steel? If you are using steel, set the Polarity Selector Switch (large three position switch on the right hand lower area) to the full clockwise position, Direct Current Straight Polarity (DC Electrode Negative). You should be using the red tungstens (2% Thoriated) for DC TIG welding.
- Aluminum? If you are using aluminum, set the Polarity Selector Switch to the full counterclockwise position, Alternating Current (AC). You should be using the green tungstens (pure tungsten).for AC TIG welding.

How should I mike a choir for recording? |
I am recording a black Gospel choir. What are your suggestions on mics and placement for a 60-voice choir?
Richard Reply: I'd recommend using two Crown CM-700 cardioid condenser microphones (or a CM-700MP matched pair of microphones). For starters, place them in a stereo mic bar, angled 90 degrees apart (+/- 45 degrees from center) and spaced 8 to 11 inches apart. Use an extra mic-stand boom so you can raise the mics about a foot above the head height of the back row of singers. Angle the mics down to aim at the back row. Place the mic stand 12 feet from the choir, make a test recording, and listen to the playback. If the sound is too dry (lacking hall acoustics), move the mic stand 1 or 2 feet farther away and try again. If the sound is too distant or muddy, move the mic stand 1 or 2 feet closer and try again. If your room acoustics are poor, you could mike the choir fairly close (less than 12 feet away) and add artificial reverberation with a long reverb time. An alternative stereo miking technique with less-sharp imaging is two spaced CM-700s. Place each CM-700 on a mic stand, raised above the head height of the back row, aiming straight ahead, angled down toward the back row, and spaced 3 feet apart. If feedback or audience noise are issues, you might want to mike the choir closer than usual – maybe using 4 spaced mics each 3 feet from the choir and panned into position. That's not really a true stereo recording but it might be your only option. Then, to get the room sound back, use a high-quality reverberation plug-in in your audio editing program, such as Lexicon Pantheon reverb (available for Cakewalk Sonar Producer) or various convolution reverb plug-ins. Close miking rejects the audience noise but also reduces the room sound (reverb). So you need to create artificial reverb with a reverb plug-in or hardware reverb unit. Actually, this can sound really good, even though it is not an accurate representation of the hall you recorded the choir in. |

2 Papering over the cracksFrasergames | 25/09/2012 | See all Frasergames's reviews (2)I got FIFA 13 on early release and have played it for a couple of days. Although overall it is better than FIFA 12 there are still a lot of the same issues as before. The AI of your team mates are still poor, The game play is still inconsistent in the fact you are more likely to get booked by nudging a player and your players will get a career ending injury as the computer leaves your player laying in pain as the ref signals play on. Also the fact you can have the worlds fastest player getting beat in a foot race against the worlds oldest and slowest players. Basically The Game play is more or less FIFA 12 all over again but the off the pitch action is where all the good stuff is. The player transfers in career mode is a lot better, The progress of the menus from screen to screen is far better. I'm giving the game 2 stars as I feel so much has been done to change the minor things but feels like when it actually comes to playing the game on the pitch so little has been achieved.
5 daztDazt11 | 30/09/2012 | See all Dazt11's reviews (2)i think ppl r playing a different game to me!! played about ten games against my mate and we both agree this is awesome, miles better than fifa 12, my mate hated fifa 12 but loves this one,AI actually make good runs when attacking, if u r playing with a quick player, a slow defender does NOT keep up with them, i was brazil vs argentina, n zabaleta could not keep up with lucus, graphics r basically the same, slightly smoother, the dribbling is class, u really feel in control of your players!shooting seems better too, scored some really good goals which wud not av done on fifa 12. IGNORE the above reviews, this game is CLASS!!! still the best football game on the planet
1 Poor GameTCBAKER | 29/09/2012 | See all TCBAKER's reviews (30)Unexpectedly poor game. Very similar to last years but feels like you're playing on x2 speed...
2 Awfulsmoore528 | 29/09/2012 | See all smoore528's reviews (8)To be honest, this is probably the worst Fifa game in the series. The gameplay has gone sharply downhill, and there are no real additions in terms of features. The menus are also horrible.
1 Fifa 13 Reviewcraigiew | 26/09/2012 | See all craigiew's reviews (4)Same old engine,same problems as Fifa 12 like the last reviewer said, definitely not worth 40 quid. I thought this years PES 13 was much more fun.

A custom-built chopper speeds down the city highway at night. It arrives at a slum and pulls up to a club with pounding music. The rider is a young man in a yellow shirt and a tan vest and jeans. He also wears a pair of wrist bracers and fingerless black gloves. He approaches a man in a muscle shirt at the door. "Members only..."
"I'm on the list; name's Kim Travis."
The man checks his clipboard for the name. "I don't see no..." He looks back at Kim and gets knocked out by a punch to the face.
A whisper flows like a gentle breeze blown softly through red-leafed trees as a young man stands atop a large boulder staring at the sky. Drake is clad in a white shirt and pants with a black waistcoat and boots.
A woman's voice draws the young man's attention. He turns to her, his yellow eyes filled with melancholy. The woman, a tall, slender, redhead in a white half-mask and a long black coat and pants, signals for him to follow her.
Kim takes in the view of the club from the entrance. Flashing lights, loud dance music, a lot of people. He smiles at the sheer number of pretty girls. As he makes his way to the bar, he flashes a charming smirk here and there for all the lovely girls eying him and blushing.
Drake and his female counterpart slide deftly down a hill and leap to catch a train, climbing to the top of one of the cars and making their way to a hatch. The redhead quickly draws a sword and slashes the hatch's lock and the two drop into the car through the open hatch.
Inside the car, Drake takes a moment to allow his vision to adjust to the darkness, but a series of red glows draws his attention to a group of sentinels.
"Intruder..! Identify yourselves..!" A sentinel shouts in a mechanized voice.
"Ready when you are, Drake."
"Yeah, yeah..."
The redhead darts toward one of the sentinels and slashes it to pieces.
Upon arrival at the bar, Kim taps the bar to get the tender's attention. A girl approaches and leans on the bar with her elbows while facing the club. "Buy me a drink, cutie..?"
Kim looks her over thoughtfully. She wears a black dress jacket over a white button shirt with a red tie and a black skirt, stockings, and red heels. He smiles. "No thanks, ma'am... I tend to steer clear of the cougars. Claws and me don't mix."
The girl glares at him. She is clearly no older than 23. "This bar doesn't serve milk, kid... unless you have some business with me, I'd suggest you get out of here before I have you made into another one of my girls." She points out to the dance floor and Lane suddenly notices just how many of those pretty girls are wearing black suits. He wonders how he could have missed that.
As more sentinels pour in around Drake, he pulls a sword from his back and flashes around them like a blur until they lay bisected. The two of them together manage to make scrap of every last sentinel before moving to a flat car outside.
"They're not making this easy, are they?" The redhead smirks as she looks upon another large group of sentinels.
"Sarcasm..? Do you really think we have time for all of your quips?"
The redhead rushes forward, jumps, and kicks a sentinel as Drake streaks past and attacks several more. They each manage to lop heads, arms, legs, and torsos into bits. They make their way into another car where the redhead opens a crate full of crystals.
"Mm, mm, mm... they say diamonds are a girl's best friend..." She looks at Drake who rolls his eyes. "Let's move this ahead."
They turn to leave, but a considerable thump draws Drake's attention. "Ava..?" He calls as he stares behind them.
"Listen, I apologize; I didn't mean to offend anybody. I'm just here looking for someone."
"Normally, I'd say you found someone... but my pickup lines are reserved for men with taste."
"You said these are your girls. That'd make you Junior then, right?"
"People call me June."
"Right... I hear you've got ears to the ground around here. What can you tell me about this guy?" Kim produces a cell phone with a picture displaying.
"Oh... I could probably tell you something... but I don't think I will. I mean, what kind of business woman would I be if I just gave it up for free?"
"What do you want in return?"
"Oh, I don't know. How about a dance..?"
"You're a fickle dandy, aren't you?"
June smiles alluringly. "Is that a no..?"
"Tell me first... then I'll dance with you."
June looks at the picture. "Nope... sorry... can't help you. I don't know him."
"Really..?" Kim closes the phone and puts it away. He turns on his heel and starts toward the door.
"Hey..! Where are you going? What about my dance?"
Kim stops and turns around. Looking her over again, he smiles arrogantly. "Sorry, little darlin', but I've got more important things to do."
June's eyes shoot wide open. "You insulted me twice..!"
The black-suited girls close in around Kim.
Ava turns to see a large red quadrupedal mechanoid with arm guns approaching them. It fires on them several times.
"Are they crazy..? Putting this trigger-happy thing in here could cost them their cargo." Ava pointed out.
"We need to get out."
"Too late..."
The mech produces a larger gun and fires it at them, blasting them out of the car and onto a second flat car. They watch as it pursues them onto the car.
"Hmm..." Ava recovers and stares down the mech. "That huge blast could be useful."
Drake looks at Ava. "Let me guess."
"See if you can piss it off."
Kim looks around and gives a smug smile. "Girls... please..." He says dismissively.
The girls all pounce on him. June flinches and blinks at the brawl until finally a delighted smirk forms on her face. She approaches Kim who has his arms held by two of the girls. She is handed an exceptionally large bat. "Let me guess... you held back because your mommy told you not to hit girls, right?" She raises the bat for a swing.
"Nope... afraid I never heard that one."
June's eyes widen again as Kim pulls one of the girls in front of him intercepting the bat's swing by using her body as a shield.
"Janny..!" June screams. She looks back at Kim. "You son of a bitch..!"
Kim is yanked by the arm and thrown across the dance floor by the remaining girl. He recovers quickly and finds himself assaulted by the girls one after another. They certainly seem to be fans of pragmatism as they attack him with anything they can find—including broken bottles and chairs. Oh well... It is not as if Kim can claim he plays by any rules.
Kim defeats them one after another until one of June's mooks wearing a big bear head, starts shooting at him. He dives behind the bar.
Drake rolls his eyes again and then rushes to take on the mech alone. Ava unsheathes her sword slightly and holds it out in front of her. Drake is thrown backward by the mech and it re-forms its large gun.
"Thar she blows..!"
The mech fires and the blast's energy impacts with Ava's sword. She stomps one foot behind her for a brace and watches as the energy is absorbed into her blade.
She chuckles arrogantly. "Scram, Drake..!"
As Drake flees to the next car, the mech charges forward and leaps upon Ava.
"Eat this..." She slashes faster than a bolt of lightning and this singular stroke carves the mech into multiple pieces landing all around her.
"Come on out of there, Goldilocks! You're finished. I'm gonna turn those pretty locks of yours into a handsome throw rug."
"I'd advise against that. My hair is a national treasure. It's very difficult to manage and would look just wrong growing out of the floor. Besides, its value would depreciate if removed from my head."
June shrugs. "Then I'll have your head!" She gives a signal to her girls to decapitate him. The girls approach the bar with swords and axes.
Kim sighs. He triggers one of his bracers to open it into a shot-gauntlet. Using the mirrored walls behind the bar, he figures out where that bear is. He stands, takes aim, and fires a shot from his gauntlet and straight through the bear's head.
"Julie..!" June stares at where the bear lies dead. She screams in anger. "Somebody kill him!"
Ava catches up to Drake on the next car. It is filled with human crew. One of the crew members moves in quickly to assault the duo. Ava draws her sword and slashes at the crew member but her attack is blocked by Drake's blade. The crew member tries to attack Drake, but he merely elbows him to the floor.
"What are you doing, Drake?"
"Put it away."
More crew members follow the first's example. Drake works double time to prevent Ava's attacks from causing lethal damage while simultaneously incapacitating the crew members.
"Let's move..." Ava says as she leaves the car, ignoring Drake's behavior outright.
Kim triggers his other gauntlet and dives over the bar, blocking an attack from an axe after he has rolled to his feet. He blocks several more attacks from the swords and axes, trading punches and kicks where he can. He manages to defeat every one of them.
June's scream draws his attention and he turns around in time to dodge her bat's swing.
"Calm down, lady!"
"Don't call me lady, you little shit!" She swings the bat at his legs and spins as he jumps up and over. She brings the bat around to his head. He blocks and she spins in the opposite direction, aiming for his head again. He blocks again and she raises her bat up to drop it on his head. Again, he blocks and he uses both hands. June drops the bat down under his arm and draws back slightly. She lunges at his face, breaking through his guard.
Kim crashes to the ground, clutching his eye. "Well, that one hurt."
"You haven't seen anything yet, kid."
"Likewise, darling, you're edging on my bad side. You're gonna wanna watch your step."
June laughs. "Right..." As he climbs to his feet, she tries to bring the bat down on him again.
Kim blocks again, shoving the bat up above June's head and delivering an uppercut that sends her flying across the room.
In the next car, Drake and Ava find no opposition. Drake takes this opportunity to confront Ava about her bloodthirsty nature.
"What the hell was that?"
Ava draws her sword and points it at Drake. "You tell me, kid. What the hell were you doing in there?"
"That wasn't what I signed up for."
"You didn't sign anything. No one's putting a gun to your head. You came of your volition. You knew we were gonna be blowing this freighter. The plan goes ahead regardless of what reservations you may have."
"But what about the crew members..?"
"What about them?"
"We could go back." Drake looks Ava in the eye. "Disconnect the car with the crystals and then blow it up; job done. Mission accomplished."
"But then, this isn't about the crystals, is it?" An accented voice is heard from behind them.
Ava turns around to look at a woman with long orange hair in a white formal jacket and pants leaning on a black cane. A black bowler hat seems to lock her hair in place over one of her eyes, leaving only one outlined in eyeliner.
"Damn..." A voice comes from behind Kim. "I think you killed her."
Kim turns to see a couple of fairly identical young men roughly his age.
"Melbourne, do you think this guy is insane or just stupid?"
"I don't care, Milton. He's in trouble either way... but I have to wonder: what's with the cowboy getup?"
Kim shrugs. "I'm being dissed by some punk wearing a newspaper..?"
Milton points behind Kim. "Somebody wants to play with you."
Kim turns to find two muscular, oiled, scantily clad men bearing down on him. "Aw, man. Get away from me!"
"Who are you?" Ava demands.
"Introductions at this point in time would be premature and moreover wholly unnecessary. You are about to die, after all."
A black-haired Asian man in a red shirt with glowing yellow lines appears beside the ginger. He carries a string of glass beads wrapped around one hand. He also wears black pants and silver shoes. He raises a hand, the lines on his shirt and the beads glowing, and fires off a spell that the duo narrowly manages to dodge.
Ava turns to Drake. "Please, tell me you've got no qualms about cutting these freaks down to size."
Drake looks back at the spellcaster casting another fire spell. They dodge again. Drake pulls his sword and he and Ava rush the strangers, leaping and sliding over another spell and a shot from the ginger's cane which apparently doubles as a gun.
As Drake's attack is blocked by the caster's beads, Ava pursues the ginger as she retreats into the next car. Drake continues to hack at the caster until he manages to wrap his blade completely with the beads. With a quick yank, he removes the blade from Drake's possession. However, beneath the blade is a second as the first appears to form only a bladed sheath. Using the beads, the frustrated caster whips the blade-sheath back at Drake who slides away and uses his blade as a recoil-propelled whip to counterattack. When their weapons intertwine, they seem to be at a standstill until the caster begins to prepare another spell. With a powerful pull, Drake propels himself toward the caster, barely managing to dodge the spell as he leaps and drops a kick down upon the caster's head, knocking him out.
Drake retrieves his weapons and moves to the next car where he finds Ava approaching from the opposite end.
"Where's the woman?"
"Got away..." Ava said as she looked around the car. "Bitch was damned squirrelly."
Kim dodges around them but they manage to get hold of him, picking him up and slamming him into the ground. They manage to do this multiple times.
"Don't screw with me!" Kim recovers and uses his bullet-propelled gauntlets to beat them both senseless.
"Pretty impressive, I guess." Milton approaches Kim standing amongst the two burly unconscious men.
"I guess it's come down to us or him." Melbourne suggests as he and Milton begin to attack lane with a flurry of bladed kicks and clawed punches.
"I'm so bored of this now. I'm setting the charges right here. We're close enough to the engine."
"But we're probably close to the city by now. We can't do this."
"Don't contradict me."
Drake stands ready with both of his swords. "I said, no, Ava."
Ava stands up in apparent submission, her hand away from her blade. She then leaps upon Drake, slashing at him like a wild animal. "You forget why we're here. You're too docile."
"You're nothing but a rabid maniac." Drake responded. "I'll put you down if I have to."
"I'll sleep soundly when you're dead, you mangy bitch!"
The two slash at each other, blocking and dodging each other's attack with sudden displays of acrobatics using the walls and ceiling.
Drake thinks he has dodged a last attack when, in fact, it has clipped his leg.
Ava observes his injury. "Lame... I'll give you one last chance to walk—or limp—away from this alive. I would prefer not to have to shoot you down like a dog." Ava raises her sheath which doubles as a gun.
"Not very sporting..." Drake grumbles.
"A hat tip to pragmatism..."
Drake flexes his grip on his swords. Ava fires off a round which Drake blocks with his sheath sending the blade flying out of his grip. He rolls at Ava as she tries to slash at him and he stabs her in the stomach. She coughs and spits out blood.
"What have you done?"
Drake allows her to fall to the floor. "The right thing, I hope."
He looks at her for a moment before turning and walking out of the train car.
Kim is sent sliding back from an attack and stands up, frustrated. "I hate claws!" He then notices a strand of his hair on the ground. He looks at the twins. "All right... which one of you bastards clipped me?"
Melbourne shrugs, apparently taking credit.
Kim begins to tremble as he tenses up. He then appears to explode as a burst of flame shoots from him in all directions. The twins blink in surprise and notice that Kim is no longer where he was. Melbourne looks around. His attention is somehow drawn upward. Kim crashes down atop him, driving his fist into Melbourne's skull.
"Mel..!" Milton shrieks. He attempts to kick Kim in the head, but Kim catches his foot and slams his fist against the side of his knee, dislocating it. Milton shrieks in pain. Kim elbows him in the face, punches him in the gut, shoves him back, and rushes up to deliver a head-butt; he then uppercuts him, launching him up. As Milton returns to the ground, Kim delivers his final and most devastating punch, sending Milton crashing through a wall.
Calming down, Kim is alerted to the sound of feet crunching over shattered glass. He turns to see an apparently familiar face.
A young ginger in a red and black hoodie approaches Kim. "Damn, Kim..! What did you do?"
Kim smiles. "Yo, Rufus..!"

Registration for the Nauvoo Retreat Open
Cost set at $55.00
» Register Today! » Facebook Invite
by Hugo Salinas
Registration for the Nauvoo retreat is now open! Sponsored by Affirmation, this retreat is not just for LGBT people, but for all those who desire to serve in the LGBT Mormon community. The event will be held in historic Nauvoo the weekend of May 2-4, 2014. Stays can be extended from Thursday, May 1, to Monday, May 5.
Rather than a full-fledged conference, this Nauvoo gathering will be a spiritual/leadership retreat. In addition to regular workshops, the program will include time to explore Nauvoo together, cook, eat, and share experiences.
A focal point of the retreat will be the Nauvoo House. Located in the center of Historic Nauvoo and mere yards away from the Mississippi River, this is the home where Emma Smith lived til her death in 1879. The upstairs bedrooms and attic of this old house have been converted into simple, dorm-style rooms. Downstairs, we will cook in Emma's kitchen and share meals in her parlor.
Nauvoo is located 3 hours north of the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport (STL). Attendees flying in will need to share the cost of renting cars. Nauvoo is 4½ hours from Chicago and 6 hours from Minneapolis.
For more information and updates, check out affirmation.org/revisiting-nauvoo-retreat/ and http://affirmation.org/nauvoo-beautiful/.

La Aurora Cameroon Robusto Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 14 reviews
"Decent but uneven burn"
This was a decent cigar for a girl s night out. It didn t stay lit, and burned uneven. It went pretty good with red sangria. It s a pretty basic mild cigar without much flavor complexity. It did not burn my throat and when cut it didn t flake. For the price, it was pretty OK. I am still undecided on if I would purchase this again, or if I would try other similarly priced cigars.
Kay in July 21, 2014
If your an experienced cigar smoker like myself this is absolute garbage. Taste was disgusting, it takes like a bitter wet sock. Burn was not good, draw was very snug. Just a waste of money.
Jacob Castro in July 23, 2012
"Value for the money. Just it."
I am just no more disappointed because those were a real bargain. The taste lacks personality from begining to end, the burn started uneven and then corrected itself without requiring touch up. The wrapper cracked right at the cutting.
Worth no more than it costs. Good for beginners and definitelly not appropriate for those looking for more complexity in a milder smoke.
Flavio in Midland, MI January 8, 2012
"Will buy again!"
Just right nice burn, good amount of smoke I love anything la aurora. Everyday smoke for me.
Keegan in Columbus ohio November 17, 2011
"First few draws are okay but then...."
I received one of these in the Tantalizing Ten sampler and at first I thought I was going to disagree with the negative reviews until they were proven right. It was very easy to light and had good white ash. The first few draws had decent flavor and was a medium draw. Flavor to me was mild pepper with a little sweet but then a quarter way into the stick it just stopped having any flavor. Just a little peppery flavor that caught in the back of the throat and nothing else. I only made it half way through before putting it out. Very disappointing.
Travis in Kansas City September 7, 2011
"VERY disappointing"
Wouldn't stay lit. Extremely tough draw,while the outer wrapper comes unravelled. Threw the last 1/3 away.Only plus was decent flavor, if you could extract it.My last Aurora for sure.
Ted in New Jersey March 16, 2011
"Almost a Fuente"
This is a decent smoking premium cigar with good construction and a decent amount of smoke off the draw which can be a bit tight. the taste of the cigar is a bit putrid at times as its not near as tasty as a Funete, more similar to that of a punch than a funete. the construction was moderate to good, the taste is missing something as other sizes deliver a much creamier taste than the Robusto which the wrapper puts out a swirling amount of smoke which isnt close to pleasant.
thebaby981 in Louisiana March 6, 2008
"I'd rather smoke a backwoods!"
Smoked 2 so far and both had terrible draws. The taste was far from great and I really had to work just to get any smoke! Never again!! I'd rather have a pack of backwoods smokes than these.
Patrick in Phoenix, Arizona March 3, 2008
"Better than Fuente"
I prefer these to regular Fuente Cameroon cigars. La Aurora has more flavor, delivered in a smooth manner. Good construction and taste. Plus they are a better value. Another thing, La Aurora makes better sizes too.
It's cold up here in Michigan October 27, 2007
"good stick for 3.00"
Afriend brought a box from dominican repb. a box of 20 strait from the factory Iam. on my 2nd box but running low buy La Aurora next thing to cohiba

- The page may be extinct—and you soon could be, too, if you are still loading your plate with hamburgers, cheese pizzas and other artery-clogging animal-based foods.
- The page may have been moved, like animals in circuses, who are hauled around the country in poorly ventilated trailers and boxcars for up to 50 weeks a year in all kinds of extreme weather conditions.
- You may have made a mistake while typing the address, or we may have made a mistake when creating the link. Mistakes can be corrected. When Anna Wintour got a dead raccoon dumped into her lap by an angry anti-fur protester, she should have learned that wearing the pelts of animals who were cruelly gassed, strangled or electrocuted is a big mistake. Yet the creepy Cruella continues to push fur in the pages of Vogue.
- Our web server may be malfunctioning. When stun guns and "killing machines" in slaughterhouses malfunction, live chickens get dumped into tanks of scalding-hot water (for feather removal) while they are still conscious, and workers cut the hooves off terrified, conscious cows.

Lauren Greenfield's documentary concerns septuagenarian Florida timeshare mogul David Siegel, his surgically enhanced 43-year-old trophy wife Jackie, and their many children and unhousetrained pets.
Greenfield began filming long before the 2008 financial crash jeopardised the construction of America's largest residence, their tacky homage to the Palace of Versailles (by way of Las Vegas).
However, the Siegels gamely let her continue even as their ostentatious lifestyle descended into a comi-tragedy of pet poo, unpaid servants and recrimination. As Jackie whines that the federal bank bailout was "supposed to help people like us", David threatens to replace her with "two 20-year-olds" if she can't curb her retail addiction, which basically means going to Wal-Mart... in a stretch limo.
In all its compelling, often hilarious ghastliness, THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES is both a cautionary tale of sub-prime property speculation and an unflinching study of taste-free wealth on the slide.

Rock baby to sleep with cozy baby swings and bouncers
Babies are often restless and sometimes it takes more than rattles and toys to keep a them entertained. Whether you've got a calm kid or a feisty little one, it's nice to be able to rock your kid into a sound, soothing sleep with a comfortable new baby rocker, swing or bouncer. Kmart carries baby rockers from great brands that are built to last, like Cosco, Fisher Price and Tiny Love, to give you peace of mind and you r baby rocks to sleep.
Unlike baby jumpers, most baby swings run on batteries, giving you the convenience of being able to place them anywhere. If you need to do chores in rooms other than the nursery, a cordless battery-powered swing lets you keep an eye on the kid while cutting carrots in the kitchen or fixing a leaky bathroom faucet. The battery-powered models also do away with the potential safety hazard of a power cord and live outlet close to where your baby is playing. Some battery-powered models provide up to 200 hours of motion before the batteries need to be replaced.
If you don't want to deal with the hassle of replacing batteries, try a corded plug-in model instead. Some swings feature a plug-in option, eliminating the constant need for batteries. Just plug it in and the swing will keep you kids entertained as long as the power keeps flowing. Both battery-powered and corded models have secure safety straps which a buckle your kid securely into the comfy nest of cushions. Remember that you are placing your baby into a moving piece of equipment; just as using universal seat belts is necessary for kids riding in cars, using the straps is a must whenever your little one is in the baby swing.
Of course, baby can't just sleep in his or her carrier all day. When your little ones are getting restless, place them into a safe, padded playard where they can tumble and roll to their heart's content. Our secure playards from Mia Moda, Summer Infant and Evenflo are built to be as strong as they are comfortable for your kids. Sturdy synthetic and metal frames are made to stand up to the most energetic kids, while foam padding keeps hard surfaces and sharp edges away from kids' bodies.
Sears is the place to find the best baby rockers, swings and bouncers from Combi, Evenflo, Summer Infant and more. Help your kids sleep and play way the day in contentment and security with high-quality baby gear products from Sears.

Known as the City of the Sun, in the capital of the State of Rio Grande do Norte you will discover much more than white sand beaches, blue sea, dunes and coconut trees. So you may forever remember your passage through this paradise, nothing better than shop a little of this paradise itself.
First of all enjoy everything that Natal has to offer, however much your wish is to take home a piece of paradise, do not forget to buy some souvenirs, even if it is the famous bottles of sand, which can have up to 25 tones and is made with colored sand from the Tibau dunes. In the city and along the coastline there are many places that sell handicrafts. In Ponta Negra, the best are Vilarte and Handicraft Market of Ponta Negra. However, it is in Petropolis you will find the most sought by the tourists, the Tourism Center. Located in a former prison, the cells led to several shops selling works in clay, wood, fabric and, of course, cashew nuts and cane rum - cachaça. From cipó (reed) are produced baskets and chairs, while the straw from Carnauba, typical plant in the Northeast, are produced hats, handbags and rugs. If you want to take as a souvenir the famous "rendas em labirinto" (labyrinth lace) you will have to travel nearly 50 kilometers to Nísia Forest, where the cooperative lace makers - cooperativa das rendeiras - are found. Tablecloths, runners, cushion covers and napkins are some of the pieces that you can buy. In the city may also choose to visit one of several shopping centers.

A mid-1950s pic of Clarence Moore and his son, Clyde, with a 'few' of Crown's early tape recorders |
ELKHART, Indiana - July 2002 -- From its humble beginnings in 1947, Crown International has grown to become one of the world's largest and most respected manufacturers of power amplifiers, systems control products and microphones for professional audio markets. "Born out of a dedication to service and shaped by ingenuity, Crown has long retained a tradition for building products based on sonic accuracy, reliability and high value," says Crown International President Blake Augsburger. "Today, 55 years after Mr. Moore founded the company, Crown has more than 500 employees and over 1600 dealers worldwide, which is certainly a testimony to both the outstanding people and products that have been a part of our heritage." Crown's history traces back to an Elkhart, Indiana minister named Clarence C. Moore (1904-1979). Moore, a longtime radio enthusiast, had spent the early part of the '40s in Quito, Ecuador working for HCJB, a non-profit Christian broadcasting and engineering group. Following his return to the United States, he felt the desire to supply Christian broadcasters like HCJB with quality electronic products. As a result, Moore founded International Radio and Electronics Corporation (IREC) in 1947 and converted a former chicken coop into the budding manufacturer's first production facility. The company's early reputation was built on a family of rugged and compact open-reel tape recorders designed to operate reliably when used by missionaries in remote, often-primitive regions of the world. After modifying and distributing several existing models (Magnecord, Recordio, Pentron and Crestwood) for the first couple of years, Moore obtained a patent in 1949 for a groundbreaking invention: the world's first tape recorder with a built-in power amplifier (15 watts). Eventually, Moore's wife and co-founder, Ruby (deceased 2002), suggested that 'International Radio and Electronics Corporation' was too long a name for the company. Since IREC had by this point produced vacuum tube tape recorders branded 'Royal' and 'Imperial', in addition to the fact that the emblem on those products was a fancy crown, she felt that the company should simply be called Crown. Her husband agreed, and, in the '60s, the company's name was changed to 'Crown International, a division of International Radio and Electronics Corporation'. Finally, in 1975, the stockholders voted to change the name of the corporation to Crown International, Inc. Over the years, state-of-the-art innovations have made Crown one of the most successful manufacturers in the marketplace. In the '60s, the introduction of the DC300 high-powered, solid-state amplifier offering 150 watts per channel at eight ohms and AB+B circuitry moved Crown into a leadership position in worldwide markets. Well over 30 years later, many DC300s are still faithfully being used in professional audio applications. Responding to market demand in the '70s, Crown focused on professional audio. Pushing the envelope of computer technology, Crown launched the PSA-2 Power Amplifier with a built-in computer to maximize performance of its output transistors. Product diversification began with the introduction of the still-popular Pressure Zone Microphone line (PZM) and TEF audio analyzer. With the implementation of Grounded Bridge(TM) circuitry in the '80s, Crown once again set the standard for amplifier innovation. Providing lower distortion, less thermal stress, higher acoustic output, greater reliability, superior power density and legendary audio quality, Grounded Bridge circuitry was integral to the engineering of the power-packed Macro-Tech and Micro-Tech amplifier lines. Used by many of the largest worldwide touring companies, these highly praised units spawned the Com-Tech amplifier series extensively used by sound contractors in some of the highest-profile installations around the globe. The '90s found Crown leading the way in the development of computer-controlled audio systems. Crown's patented IQ System, the world's first significant computer-controlled audio system, had been introduced in 1987, and, by 1990, was the most widely used system in the world. Expanded and refined with a growing line of supporting products and system software, Crown IQ Systems handle superstar tours as easily as small installations. Fueled by unprecedented sales and a multi-million dollar manufacturing expansion, Crown, in 1997, added another new milestone in audio technology with the introduction of the K2 amplifier featuring Balanced Current Amplifier(TM) circuitry offering innovative thermal and energy efficiencies. With the company's acquisition by Harman International in March of 2000, this millennium has already found Crown continuing to engineer forward-thinking solutions. Products such as the new CTs Series amplifier line, IQ-PIP-USP2/CN CobraNet(TM) DSP module, IQ-USM 810 processor/mixer and CE 4000 amplifier embody the reliability and innovativeness that have long been the manufacturer's hallmarks. And with each product backed up by a three-year, no-fault, fully transferable warranty, Crown today continues to delight its customers with products that consistently exceed both specifications and expectations, even on the most demanding tours and installations. Crown International Senior VP of R&D Gerald Stanley, who originally joined the company in 1964 as a tape recorder line technician and amplifier design engineer, comments on Crown's 'secret' for success over the years. "In an era of cookbook designs and buggy software, it would seem that the most basic lessons of history have been forgotten," he says. "Crown's recipe is simple: design, build and service each product as if you were the customer. This approach not only drives the product to excellence, it drives the people to be the best that they can be. The synergy is exothermic." Crown International, a Harman International company, manufactures amplifiers, microphones and systems control products for professional audio markets worldwide, with corporate headquarters located in Elkhart, Indiana. # # # |

How can people be degenerates and openly lay claim to beliefs among their peers but still feel shame when confronted by it with their elders. We all know people like this. Some of my friends are like this.(20-35 yrs old) They can go out and do all this tell me its perfectly fine and normal ,but let them present that to theirs parents even though said people range from 20- 35 there is no way they will do that. Because of Shame unless as I stated their parents were radical in nature Hippy/ Swinger or some type of anti mainstream society persons. This is what baffles. I know there are some shameless ones that pardon the phrase "dont give a flip"
You said something about genetics... well that is a stretch in its self. I can say its not impossible though I feel very unlikely that man ignored their instincts and set up their on morals which some how magically created the unatural but became natural effect of having felt shame.
Reread what I wrote. I did not assert anything as fact and merely flailed around imagining a possibility. I also openly admitted I didn't know and as such I do not expect you to subscribe to the thought I presented as truth. Maybe something to think about at most.
Shame is not unnatural. It is perfectly natural as evidenced by observing humans (a natural creature). Other animals might even experience it. We are discovering more and more about the sentience of other animals which is throwing many things we thought of as exclusively human right out the window. See crows having the theory of mind.
These people you mentioned have been conditioned to think this way by their early childhood experiences. What you described is an effect of negative reinforcement and not trusting one's parents because of childhood trauma or indoctrination. That is my suspicion anyway.
Anecdotal evidence is one of the weakest forms you can use to try to convince someone of anything. Keep that in mind when talking about your experiences and your friends experiences as anything more than a footnote to a previously otherwise supported point.
Now do you think that it makes more sense that genetics (which we can prove exists) or a deity (that we cannot yet prove exists) as the possible source of shame? What about as a result of indoctrination and childhood trauma versus a deity? Both of those options seem simpler to me and we can show that both of them actually exist unlike the deity that you claim and present no evidence for despite my earlier challenges. Please note I do not ask you to actually believe as true either hypothesis here only that you weigh them in relation to your claim of a deity.
I wish someone educated on the subject could give us some relevant opinion on observations of shame and the related effects within the human body.
As the previous poster also said: conditioning! I knew I was forgetting something important.
Also you labeling them as degenerates shows that BAM you just judged them despite what your religious text has to say on the matter.

Medieval cooking
Hi guys,
I am getting right into Medieval cooking at the moment and by this I mean cooking with logs, charcoal, cauldrons, smoking, slow cooking, and cooking desserts in tins with hot ash over the top so that it cooks like an oven. I would love to hear from you if you have experience of this or of you have any views on Medieval cooking. Do you use any of these cooking techniques at home?
Love Jamie O xxx

Re: Medieval cooking
ciao Jamie, now you make us travel into the past? Yes I heard of some of these techniques you mention, dating the early '900 years. Even if you cannot call it medioevo, I tell you that I have a rame=copper stagnata pan where my ancestors cooked a torta wrapped into verza-leaves, covered with its lid and then put with braci around on a corner of the focolare. Au-peu-près this was the procedimento.
I have great aspettative from this thread you have started

Re: Medieval cooking
I live in a medieval town called Xativa in the region of Valencia Spain. There is a fortress here and the local restaurants cook food called "Xativi" the local food, one of the most popular medieval recipies they make, which you can have every day here, and once a year there is a competition and we build fires in the middle of the town and everyone gets a chance to make their own "Arros al Forn" it's called baked rice and it's cooked over coals on a terracotta dish, that almost anyone who's travelled to spain has seen here.
You make meatballs out of minced pork, with lemon rind and cinnamon, egg and bread crumbs. Then you add diced fresh thick pancetta and diced pork ribs.
You fry a whole head of garlic in the terracotta pan with olive oil then you add sweet paprica and the meat, when the meat is golden you remove it and add the rice (round bomba rice, it's typical of Spain, they grow it here in Valencia) you fry the rice until it's soaked the paprika and the oil then you add sweed and turnips cut in thin french fries shape and the meat plus you add black pudding in 2 inch cuts, you cover it all in stock where you've prviously cooked chick peas and other veg in too, but you only add the chick peas. Leave it to cook over the coals without moving it till all the liquid has simmered and the rice is dry, the trick it to not burn the bottom. The last 2 minutes of the process you add slices of tomato on top, which steams a little with the rice and it makes a lovely mix of flavours from the spicy meat balls to the garlic to the black pudding which is very tasty.
Tradition has it that all the family eats in the same dish the rice is cooked in and then the head of garlic which is left whole and almost always in the centre of the dish gets eaten by the man of the household. http://www.arrosalforn.com/

Re: Medieval cooking
In the sixties, holidaying in Donegal, as a child I was fascinated with the few people who were still doing their cooking over the open fire.
Herring catches were placed over a very long tongs and cooked over the fire. Soda Bread was put in a pan with a lid and embers placed on top. There was a hook in the chimney to hang pots from. All great fun to a townie as I was then!
Not exactly new techniques for you, but I enjoyed the trip down memory lane!

Re: Medieval cooking
Hi Jamie,
For sure Medievil cooking is the bomb. It's not something you do everyday but when you do it grab all your mates and make it count.
Our usual gig is to get a pig or lamb on a spit and let it go all day til it is glisening with fat and crunchy all over. Then we grab our potatoes out of the coals and chow down....Yummy!!
All is good in country Australia.

I did a degree in medieval history and spent some time as a post-grad on Anglo-Saxon/Anglo-Norman food and drink, very interesting subject.
If you want some slightly dry but very informative reading, get your hands on Ann Hagen's academic works, A Handbook of Anglo-Saxon Food: Processing and Consumption and the second volume, Production and Distribution. Both are available through Amazon. I'll post some stuff later when I have time.

Re: Medieval cooking
There is a great book called Culinaria Italy, which is available from Amazon.com. It gives the history of the region, and explains how what was grown locally in ancient times (back to the Etruscans sometimes), and going forward, greatly influenced the diets in the respective areas. In addition, it has gorgeous photographs, and also recipes with detailed instructions. There is a whole series of these books, France, Spain, Germany, etc.
