- Title
- Age estimates for globular clusters in NGC 1399
- Author(s)
- Beasley, Michael A.; Forbes, Duncan A.; Brodie, Jean P.; Kissler-Patig, Markus
- Abstract
- We present high signal-to-noise Keck spectra for 10 globular clusters associated with the giant Fornax elliptical galaxy NGC 1399 and compare measured line indices with current stellar population models. Our data convincingly demonstrate, for the first time, that at least some of the clusters in a giant elliptical galaxy have supersolar abundance ratios, similar to the host galaxy. From Hbeta line strengths, the majority of clusters have ages of ~11 Gyr (within 2sigma), which is similar to the luminosity-weighted stellar age of NGC 1399. Two of the clusters (which also reveal enhanced abundance ratios) show significantly higher Hbeta values than the others. It remains unclear whether this is due to young (~2 Gyr) ages or extremely old (>15 Gyr) ages with a warm blue horizontal branch. However, a conflict with current cosmological parameters is avoided if the young age is favored. Either alternative indicates a complicated age distribution among the metal-rich clusters and sets interesting constraints on their chemical enrichment at late epochs.

Oral Antihistamines for Atopic Dermatitis
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|cetirizine [less sedating]
|fexofenadine [nonsedating]
|loratadine [nonsedating]
How It Works
Antihistamines reduce itching by blocking chemical (histamine) processes in an allergic reaction. But histamines are not always involved in atopic dermatitis itch, so these medicines may not help all people who have the condition.
Why It Is Used
For many years, oral antihistamines (taken in pill form) have been used to reduce the itch caused by atopic dermatitis. Sedating antihistamines, which make you sleepy, have been favored for treating children who cannot sleep because of severe itching at night.
How Well It Works
Some people report an improvement in symptoms when they take an antihistamine with corticosteroid treatment. An antihistamine that causes drowsiness can be helpful if itching results in sleep problems.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Fast or irregular heartbeat.
- Fever.
- Unusual bleeding or bruising.
- Belly pain.
- Unusual tiredness or weakness.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Feeling drowsy.
- Dry mouth, nose, or throat.
- Stomach upset.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
If you use antihistamines, carefully follow the directions on the label. Check with your child's doctor before you give them to your child. Children tend to be more sensitive to the effects of antihistamines.
Doses of antihistamines must be carefully adjusted for each person. These medicines are unlikely to stop atopic dermatitis itch but can be useful for inducing sleep when itching is severe.
Avoid using antihistamines that are applied directly to the skin. You may accidentally apply too much medicine, which can be harmful.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

When Work Disappears: The World of the New Urban Poor
Vintage Books, 1996 - Political Science - 322 pages
Wilson, one of our foremost authorities on race and poverty, challenges decades of liberal and conservative pieties to look squarely at the devastating effects that joblessness has had on our urban ghettos. Marshaling a vast array of data and the personal stories of hundreds of men and women, Wilson persuasively argues that problems endemic to America's inner cities--from fatherless households to drugs and violent crime--stem directly from the disappearance of blue-collar jobs in the wake of a globalized economy. Wilson's achievement is to portray this crisis as one that affects all Americans, and to propose solutions whose benefits would be felt across our society. At a time when welfare is ending and our country's racial dialectic is more strained than ever, When Work Disappears is a sane, courageous, and desperately important work.
"Wilson is the keenest liberal analyst of the most perplexing of all American problems...[This book is] more ambitious and more accessible than anything he has done before."
--The New Yorker

KUSA -Todd Helton, a Major League Baseball first baseman for the Colorado Rockies, was arrested for suspicion of DUI, according to team sources.
According to a 9NEWS source, a witness contacted Thornton Police when they witnessed a black Ford F-150 pick-up truck driving erratically southbound on Colorado Boulevard.
When officers contacted the driver, the driver pulled into a Conoco gas station at 12780 Colorado Boulevard.
Police identified the driver as Helton.
He was taken into custody for investigation of driving under the influence, was booked and was processed through Thornton Police and was later released to a "responsible party." The Adams County District Attorney will look at filing formal charges.
The following statement from the Colorado Rockies:
We were extremely disappointed to learn that Todd was arrested this morning. This type of behavior is taken very seriously by our organization. We know that he clearly understands the seriousness of his poor decision, the harm that could have been inflicted on others and the embarrassment his mistake has caused to himself, his family, the Colorado Rockies organization and to Major League Baseball.
Todd is taking full accountability for his actions with his family, his fans and the organization. The man we have grown to know has strong values that are grounded in his family and hard work. Todd clearly understands the severity of the situation.
The following statement from Todd Helton regarding his arrest:
"Last evening I exercised poor judgment and was charged with drinking and driving after driving to a gas station near my house. I am very sorry and embarrassed by my actions. I hold myself to a high standard and take my responsibility as a public figure very seriously. My entire career I have worked to set a positive example for my family and in our community and I fell far short of this standard.
I sincerely ask my family, the Colorado Rockies Organization, Major League Baseball and the community to accept my apology. I make no excuses and accept full responsibility for my actions. I humbly ask your forgiveness."

Ok now that the morning show is over I can spend a little more time on the details of Sandy and her impact on Maine.
First let's get through the 24 hour forecast: Mostly cloudy with some patchy drizzle. Clouds from the outer shield of Sandy have engulfed the state so I don't anticipate much in the way of sunshine. Temperatures stay in the 50s.
Now on to Sandy. What struck me this morning when I pulled up the satellite image of Sandy is how a BIG storm she is. Her spatial coverage is enormous, form the center through the outer bands. In fact, according to the Hurricane Hunter aircraft data from this morning, tropical storm force winds extend over 500 miles away from the center. I've never seen a wind field THAT large.
What that large wind field means for Maine is that the exact track of Sandy is no longer important. Track was king a few days ago when it meant the difference between a direct hit into Maine and a sharp left into the Carolinas, but now that most computer models have zeroed in (thanks for joining the party boys, could have used some agreement days ago) just south of New York City a shift 50-100 miles north or south will be of little consequence to our forecast.
Now that the track is pretty much decided the real key to the forecast is determining the period of strongest wind gusts here in Maine and what some of those gusts might peak at. Sure, there will be a decent amount of rain and some minor coastal flooding, but make no mistake, Sandy's biggest impact will come in the form of wind gusts.
Winds: My thinking right now is that Maine, southern Maine in particular will be most exposed to strong winds between 7 PM and 11 PM Monday evening. You will wake up to some breezy conditions already by Monday morning but those winds will steadily increase through the afternoon and early evening as Sandy moves northward towards the state. Why do I say "most exposed"? Because Maine will experience the strongest wind gusts when the "fetch" is from the northeast-east as the winds will be coming directly in from the ocean and NOT over any landmass. This wind direction looks most likely right before Sandy makes landfall to our south, so that's when I'm penciling in the strongest gusts (Monday evening). Once Sandy moves further inland over NJ, the winds will be out of the south and all of a sudden we are essentially using MA, RI and CT as a shield against the brunt of the wind field. (Winds slow over land due to friction, that's why interior Maine won't see the gusts the coast will)
I think we will see gusts, during this peak period, of up to 65 MPH with some isolated 70 MPH readings over southern coastal Maine. Further inland it will likely stay in the 40-60 MPH range as the land slows down the incoming air. By Tuesday morning(7 AM) winds will decrease a bit to the 40 MPH range and stay in that area through the afternoon on Tuesday.
I will fully admit I'm going aggressively high with these wind gust numbers, and they might not match up with other predictions you see...but there's a method to my madness. I am concerned the computer models are having a hard time "mixing" down winds from the upper levels of the atmosphere down to the surface with Sandy because they aren't exact sure what to make of her structure. She won't be a warm core hurricane at landfall, nor will she be a cold core Nor'easter. So I'm going to err on the aggressive side in the interest of safety.
Rain: Bands of rain will spiral in from Sandy starting Monday afternoon. Some of these bands will be heavy, however, I don't see statewide flooding as a problem. Total rainfall amounts from the storm ARE high but that's over a several day period as Sandy sits and spins overhead as a weaker low pressure system on Wednesday and Thursday. Most of us will end up with between 1.5-3.0" of rain for the event with the best chance of higher amounts being the lee side of the mountains. The reason for this? Moisture screaming in off the Gulf of Maine will bank up along the ridge line and produce heavier rain there. Computer models NEVER pick up on this, but the situation looks ripe for this kind of effect. So, in short, the foothills and western Maine should be concerned about flooding more than the rest of us.
Coastal Flooding: There will be some coastal flooding but I'd characterize it as minor. Low lying areas that typically flood during a strong Nor'easter will flood during Sandy. The time of largest concern will be around midnight on Monday evening when high tide is occurring.
As I mentioned winds will SLOWLY settle down through the day on Tuesday, as the rain continues on. By Wednesday Sandy will be trapped to our southwest as a decaying low pressure system so expect periods of rain and showers with breezy conditions. The same really goes for Thursday, but the winds will slacken even further by then.
Our next chance at a totally dry day arrives on Saturday.
Bottom Line: Sandy will hit Maine hard, but nothing compared to what they will experience down towards New York City. The impact for the metro area could be historic. Around here, take this storm seriously but don't panic. The hype train has been off the charts lately and given the facts on the table, in my opinion you simply need to be prepared for some flooding and widespread power outages...nothing more.

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Jason Giambi is mulling the Rockies' offer to be their hitting instructor after losing out in his bid to become manager.
Giambi said previously that he would only retire to manage, but he's considering all options at this point. He was a finalist for the manager's job, losing out to Walt Weiss, a former Rockies' player. Giambi impressed the Rockies with his interview for the field boss position, but there was concern about him going from the players' teammate to their boss.
"I am grateful and I am honored that I had the opportunity to interview. It went well and it was an unbelievable learning experience. I wish Walt nothing but success," Giambi said Thursday night during a phone interview. "I am going to take a few days then talk to the Rockies again (about the hitting job) because my sole focus was on managing."
Giambi, 41, joined the Rockies in September of 2009. He quickly emerged as a clubhouse leader and mentor. He has helped several players with their swings when they asked, including Eric Young Jr. and Chris Nelson. He also trained in the offseason with Dexter Fowler, who had a career year last season, top prospects Nolan Arenado and Josh Rutledge and two-time all-star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki.
Oakland A's GM Billy Beane has no doubt that Giambi could transition seamlessly into a coaching role.
"He's the one player we had that really understood our philosophy. He understands the battle for the strike zone," Beane said. "He's a real student of hitting and a great communicator."
As the process was playing out over the past month, the Rockies also reached out to former Rockies' all-star Dante Bichette to gauge his interest in the hitting job. Bichette was intrigued, but removed himself from consideration Thursday.
Giambi had surgery on his left groin following the season to keep open the option of playing. There has been some mild interest from teams, a factor Giambi is weighing as he decides whether to begin what could be a long coaching career.
"I don't know what I am going to do yet," Giambi said. "I just need a couple of days to digest everything. I know Walt is a hard-nosed guy, and have heard nothing but great things about him. We will just kind of see where it goes from here."

The concept of the museum, which was originally called the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum, can be traced back to Crown Princess Victoria of Prussia, who published her ideas in a memorandum in 1883. It was Wilhelm von Bode who finally put these ground-breaking ideas into practice. In 1897, construction work began at the northern tip of the Museum Island on a museum that was to be devoted to the Renaissance, designed by Eberhard von Ihne. Once completed, the museum would bear the name of Empress Victoria's deceased husband, Kaiser (Emperor) Friedrich, who died in 1888. When the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum opened in 1904, painting and sculpture, considered at the time as the 'high arts', were for the first time presented side by side on an equal footing with each other -- a presentation strategy that differed radically from that of traditional museums.
The building was badly damaged in the Second World War and underwent several stages of restoration between 1948 and 1986. In 1956 it was renamed the Bode-Museum after its first director and spiritual founder. German reunification also brought with it the merging of the previously separated collections under the auspices of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, with the decision soon being taken for the museum to undergo an extensive overhaul to bring it up to date with modern museum and conservation requirements.
After extensive renovation work, the museum building reopened to the public in autumn 2006. Contrary to the original concept, it now principally houses the Sculpture Collection and the Museum of Byzantine Art. The display of sculptures is enriched by some 150 works from the collection of the Gemäldegalerie, which has been located at the Kulturforum near Potsdamer Platz since 1998. With its collection of coins and medals, the Münzkabinett is also housed at the Bode-Museum, where it presents its chronicle of human history forged in metal.

You've heard the expression, "You can't see the forest for the trees," meaning you sometimes need to step back and look at the big picture. Well that statement certainly applies to the country of Namibi in Southern Africa. Since there aren't a lot of trees in Namibia's huge, mostly desert landscape, maybe the phrase should be slightly altered to read, "You can't see the desert for the sand."
Bottom line, to fully appreciate the texture, color, variety, and the grand scale of Namibia's landscape a view from above is essential. Once that perspective is understood, then you can move in for the closeups to complete the picture of the country. I recently went to Namibia with a group of friends trying to capture as much of the country as possible from both the air and the ground.
My home movies contain a lot of this duel perspective and the images are so strong on their own that even my camera work couldn't ruin them. So although I put the pictures or home movies together for the friends who were on the trip with me, I thought I'd share some some of the video with anyone else who might be interested in seeing pictures from this most visually spectactular country. This is part one of what I call, Namibia: The Big Empty.

Welcome back, Project Runway fans! Last week, the teams made ready-to-wear looks for Lord & Taylor. This week, they paid the Guggenheim a visit – and created their own textiles for inclusion in wearable art designs.
The judges selected the pairs: Patricia and Richard, Layana and Daniel, and Stanley and Michelle (ordered by how excited they were to work together, from least to most). No one was happy Richard stayed last week, and Michelle quipped that he'd only show 12 colorblocked dresses at Fashion Week. Can't say I disagree.
At the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum – the place to see modern and contemporary art in New York – Tim explained each team's task: find inspiration to create their own textile, then produce one piece of wearable art and a complementary ready-to-wear look. He gave each pair a camera and let them run wild.
In the workroom, Layana broke down in tears when she realized the level of difficulty that wearable art calls for, but to her credit, she had her pity party then pulled a dress together. And in the time that Patricia used to construct the foundation of her look, Richard just toyed with making a bracelet.
My favorite ready-to-wear look on the runway was Daniel's blazer and skirt. Both pieces were beautifully designed and fitted, and this is an outfit I'd love to own. Patricia's tribal look – surprisingly soft and light despite its many layers and white veil – solidified her as the stronger member of her team.
Stanley and Michelle worked together on both their pieces, and their wearable art, with its painted Bubble Wrap, artsy cape, and well-done headpiece, was the highlight of the show. Nina called it "inspiring and editorial." I liked their ready-to-wear look somewhat less – the shape felt awkward and heavy – but it was beautifully constructed.
Richard's skirt looked like a cross between a balloon and an accordion (read: not pretty), and I agreed with the judges that Layana's dress was like a Barbie version of Gone with the Wind.
The remaining designers seem to be hitting their stride (finally). Do you have picks for the Final Three? I'm fairly certain Stanley and Michelle will make it, but the last is a toss-up.
More next week. Auf Wiedersehen for now.

For many people, wine is an anxiety-inducing mystery as arcane as quantum physics, and with so many varieties, it's difficult to know what to choose. As New York Times wine critic Eric Asimov argues, that puzzling uncertainty often prevents people from buying and ordering wine, depriving them of an exquisite, deeply satisfying experience.
In How to Love Wine, Asimov examines why the American wine culture produces such feelings of anxiety and suggests how readers can overcome their fears and develop a sense of discovery and wonder as they explore the diversity and complexity of the world of wine. With warmth, candor, and intelligent authority, Asimov interweaves his professional knowledge and insights with engaging personal stories of his love affair with wine, a lifelong passion that began when he was a graduate student on a budget.
In a direct, down-to-earth manner, Asimov discusses favorite vineyards, wine's singular personalities, the "tyranny of tasting notes"those meaningless, overwritten wine descriptions that often pass for criticism todayand current wine issues.
Throughout, he incorporates in-depth discussions of beautiful wines, both easy to find and rare, and pays special attention to those that have been particularly meaningful to him. Thought-provoking and enjoyable, How to Love Wine will help diminish readers' anxiety, bolster their confidence, and transform them into true wine lovers.
"Eric Asimov sees through the snobby froth of 100-point scores and tutti-frutti tasting notes to the realities of wine, 'staple grocery and occasional star,' as he calls it. How to become America's most trusted wine critic? Read it here."
-Hugh Johnson
"In his highly personal, utterly unpretentious book, Asimov makes clear that the most important thing about wine is enjoyment. Any deeper understanding--and for him food, culture, farming, and more count for a lot--depends on it."
-Ed Behr
"This book might have been titled A Healthy Dose of Fresh Air. How modestly and reasonably Asimov dares to slay the wine dragons. I reveled in each and every thrust and parry."
-Kermit Lynch
"A friendly, well-written approach to enjoying wine, full of low-stress recommendations to help avoid wine anxiety."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Forget the snooty trappings of wine connoisseurship—just drink up and enjoy, argues this simultaneously down–to–earth and romantic meditation…. Asimov sprinkles in lively reminiscences of his journalism career and the idiosyncratic culture of wine cognoscenti, and enchants and reassures by his warm savoring of the drinking experience."
-Publishers Weekly
"Wine fanatics, or those angling for entry to the world of wine, will find comfort in…Asimov's down–to–earth discussion of loving wine. Moreover, what he argues is most essential for a relationship with wine, and what's most refreshing to read, is an approach free of anxiety and open to love."

Del Waters, wtop.com
It was once baseball legend: The third base slide or the second base switch.
Many ballgame-goers were used to switching seats in the middle of the game. Some did it for a better view, others did it for better, closer seats. Now this popular practice could soon become a thing of the past.
Baseball owners have devised a high-tech way to profit from the painful first seat experience. It's called Mobile Seat Update, and if you're at a baseball game, here's how it will work:
At an appointed time you will receive a text or mobile alert from the ballpark, letting you know that better seats are available. You will then be offered the opportunity to purchase those seats.
Your new tickets will be sent to you via smartphone, and ushers will be standing by to check your new tickets while you head to your upgraded seats.
"Our fans have shown a growing demand for mobile ticketing opportunities and this collaboration with Experience will help further meet those expectations with a scalable, fan-friendly solution to personalize their ballpark experiences right from their personal devices," said Noah Garden, executive vice president of revenue for MLB Advanced Media, in a press release.
For baseball owners the incentives are obvious; they get new revenue for what may have been unsold or unused seats. Team management can also stem the flow of losses from generations who have filled the empty seats for free in the past.
So how much will this cost? Seats will sell for between $5 and $55 per seat in Atlanta, Oakland, Calif., Arizona and Minnesota, where the service will first go into place.
A steep price, some would say, for something that was free, just for the thrill of the theft.

Residents in Colorado Springs are telling 11 News wastewater is backing up into their homes. Representatives from Colorado Springs Utilities said most cases are linked to tree roots growing into service lines running from homes to the main lines under the street.
Shirley's basement looks nothing like she says it should.
"It's usually where I come to relax, but it's in a total uproar," she said.
Wastewater recently started backing up into her home on Bates Drive, off of Palmer Park Boulevard. Shirley told 11 News six other homes on the street had similar problems. She now has to replace her carpeting among a long list of repairs, the biggest of which is replacing her service line, leaving her with a shocking bill.
"Right now it's $21,000," she said.
Shirley believes it's all because of recent work done on the main line by Colorado Springs Utilities.
11 News checked with Colorado Springs Utilities Wednesday.
"We do our part as a utility, but it's up to customers to do their part, especially in established neighborhoods," said spokesperson Steve Berry.
Berry explained what's happening in Shirley's neighborhood is happening in many others like it. Trees drying out in the region's drought conditions are searching for water sources. They find it in wastewater service lines. Roots are growing right into pipes, damaging them, and then causing backups like Shirley's.
"We're seeing a huge issue with that right now, and it's especially problematic for our customers because that is their responsibility."
11 News has learned the city of Colorado Springs in August did approve a partial payout to cover similar damages in one home on Bates Drive, Shirley's street. The city's claims office investigated and found a blockage in the main line at that time could have contributed to the back up.
The main line on Bates Drive was checked and found to be clear at the beginning of October, according to Colorado Springs Utilities. The earlier problem, Berry said, is unrelated to other cases reported on the street.
Springs Utilities recommends customers have those service lines cleaned professionally once every two years. For more useful information we've added a link on the 11 News homepage under the Find It tab.

- "This American greed takes over everyone... it's like a disease! Only I am still sane!"
- ―Mikhail Faustin
Mikhail Faustin (Russian: Михаил Фаустин) is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character and a minor antagonist in Grand Theft Auto IV. Faustin was the founder and the leader of the Faustin Bratva. Faustin was known for his very short temper due to his use of drugs. He became extremely violent and murderous, which led to him making decisions that led to his own execution.
He was voiced by Karel Roden, a prominent Czech actor who appeared in the films Hellboy, The Bourne Supremacy, Mr. Bean's Holiday and Rock n' Rolla.
Background In Russia
Mikhail Faustin was born and raised in 1963 in Russia (then Russian SFSR, USSR). He met his "brother for life" Dimitri Rascalov while serving in the Army during the Cold War as early as 1987, and were later cellmates in a Siberian prison camp. Both he and Dimitri have tattoos on the palms of their hands which represent that they are "brothers for life", according to Mikhail. Also by Mikhail's record, he protected Dimitri from being raped in prison, which he will sometimes remind him of to guilt him into following orders. In 1988, when Mikhail was 25, he had a baby girl named Anna with his future wife Ilyena, who was only 18 at the time. Ilyena reminisces that Mikhail was "beautiful" at this time, before he became possessed by anger. Dimitri also says of Mikhail back then, "he had a temper, but he was fair". After the Cold War ended in 1991, they were both "selling hash to tourists in Red Square" according to Dimitri, and both men had multiple murder convictions.
Criminal Enterprise In United States
Mikhail "exploited a loophole in the immigration treaty to gain US residency in the late 90's", arriving in Hove Beach with Dimitri, Ilyena and Anna, then under 10 years old. He was living in Liberty City and situated into a criminal life by 1998, when he was arrested for extortion. Mikhail built a criminal enterprise based in Hove Beach, made up of several investments - the Perestroika cabaret, protection rackets, cocaine distribution, pornography and stolen goods (which he was arrested for in 2002). This offered him a lavish lifestyle consisting of a large Beachgate home, two luxury cars (a Turismo and custom black Schafter) and being able to raise his daughter in the upper-class American fashion (she speaks in a perfect American accent and Mikhail says he has "spoiled her rotten").
Mikhail began abusing cocaine and alcohol - likely since 2005, when he was arrested for holding cocaine, as well as Ilyena and Dimitri having grown accustomed to Mikhail's disturbing new personality by 2008. After attaining his new personality, he became abusive of his wife, and treats his daughter harshly. He also cheats on his wife (With employee Vladimir Glebov's sister which he told Niko in the mission Crime and Punishment saying that "You are very lucky that Vlad was an idiot. The only reason I keep him around is because I fuck his sister.", and two women at his cabaret). He refuses to take advice from Dimitri, with him saying " You never know who he will shoot, and who he will stab!" Examples of his violent streak include the deaths of Andrei, (a member of his gang in which Dimitri favored) a TV van driver and a van protector in Crime and Punishment, in which Mikhail instructs Niko to kill, and Jason Michaels (a member of the Lost biker gang dating his daughter).
If the player calls Mikhail to his cellphone and listens to the answering message, it's possible to hear what Mikhail may have been like before becoming aggressive. In the voice-mail recording, he is calm and politely tells the caller to "contact him at his home" when he is available or "as an alternative leave [him] a message".
Among other violent, rash moves, Mikhail ordered the death of Lenny Petrovic, son of the most powerful Russian mob boss in Liberty City, Kenny Petrovic, because he frivolously assumes that Lenny has snitched on him. This results in an all-out war before Kenny Petrovic contacts Dimitri about having Mikhail killed to create peace. Dimitri agrees, and they both decide on the condition that the "hired gun" who originally killed Lenny, Niko Bellic, would be the one to kill Mikhail.
Niko is immediately sent to Perestroika to assassinate Mikhail. After a bloody shootout, Niko confronts Mikhail on the roof and shoots him so that he falls to his death, ignoring Mikhail's warnings that Dimitri will betray him too, though these were proven true.

Comments about philosophy birthday girl, 1 ea:
I purchased 2 to give as gifts. Had to return one as the packaging was damaged. The picture shown on the website is not the same picture that is on the packaging when you receive it. I think Philosophy updated their packaging. I preferred the "old" one and since that was the picture on the site I thought that was what they were selling; however, what I received was the "new" packaging. Still in a birthday theme, but to me not as cute.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

EL PASO, Texas (AP) -- Matt Barkley's career at Southern California is over.
Coach Lane Kiffin has announced that the senior quarterback won't play in the Sun Bowl against Georgia Tech because of an injured shoulder. Instead, redshirt freshman Max Wittek will make his second career start.
Barkley's throwing shoulder was injured during USC's second-to-last game against UCLA. He didn't play in the season-finale against Notre Dame. Wittek started the game and the Trojans lost to the Fighting Irish to fall to 7-5 on the season.
Barkley rewrote the Pac-12 record book during a USC-record 47 starts over four seasons, becoming the conference leader in touchdown passes, yards passing, completions and total offense.

Is the Wrong College Major a Ticket to a Low Salary?
The compensation experts at Payscale recently reported on the best- and worst-paying college majors in America -- but don't put all your faith in those averages. Yes, salaries are lower for those who studied social work or art history, but it's what you do with your degree that really counts.

Congress recently voted to raise taxes on the wealthy. Now, in Maine, a Republican lawmaker is proposing to do the same. State Sen. Tom Saviello has submitted legislation that would hike income taxes on those who earn more than $250,000 a year. As Patty Wight reports, it's just one of what's expected to be hundreds of tax reform proposals submitted in this legislative session.
Raising the income tax on the wealthy is not generally an idea supported by Republicans. But GOP state Sen. Tom Saviello of Wilton says as he knocked on doors to campaign for re-election this past fall, he got an earful from constituents who support it.
"They elected me. They didn't elect a Republican. They didn't elect a Democrat. They elected me to represent them," he says, "and that's what I'm trying to do."
Saviello's bill would levy an 8.5 percent income tax on those who earn incomes greater than $250,000, and would only apply to the money earned over and above that threshold. The emphasis here is on the word "earned." If income is from investments, like dividends, an S corporation, or LLC, then the higher tax would not apply.
"Because in my mind, if this tax change was put into place for people to stimulate the economy, to me, personally, those things, those items - S corporations, LLC, and dividends - are where I have, in fact, invested in what we hope people would do," he says.
Saviello's bill would actually reinstate the previous top income tax rate that just expired in January. Right now, it's 7.95 percent. But bringing it back up to 8.5 percent, says Saviello, would affect about 300 people and generate $5 million for the state.
Saviello is looking for a co-sponsor for his bill - namely, Senate Majority Leader Seth Goodall of Richmond. But Goodall says he needs to see the details first.
"It's premature for me to say if I specifically support all of the components of it," Goodall says. "But it's an idea I'm supportive of discussing."
While Goodall is undecided, independent Senator Dick Woodbury - an economist by trade - gives a thumbs down. He says it's one thing to raise taxes on the wealthy at the federal level, but it's another to do it at the state level.
"And the reason is because people don't decide - based on a high tax rate - to leave the country," Woodbury says. "But there's a lot more mobility state by state. So when you're thinking about this in the context of a state, I find it a lot more problematic."
Woodbury, whose district includes the wealthy communities of Falmouth and Yarmouth, says he thinks Maine's tax system does need an overhaul, but to one that reduces the penalty on residents and takes a fairer share from non-residents.
"We have, ya know, a huge number of Vacationland visitors who are here for a short period," he says. "We have a large number of second home owners. And we have a large number of six-months-minus-a-day non-residents, you know, all of whom spend a lot of time here and use Maine services. And our tax system basically exempts that whole group from our income tax."
House Majority Leader Seth Berry says he's hearing much more talk about tax fairness in the halls of the State House these days, especially after Gov. LePage's most recent budget proposal, which, he says, shifts the tax burden onto property taxes.
"And that is really a shift to the middle class and to working Mainers," Berry says. "So it's making the tax code dramatically unfair and Sen. Saviello's bill, while well intended, would only be a band-aid on what is becoming a gaping wound."
It's unclear what other tax proposals are waiting in the wings for this legislative session. Democratic Taxation Committee Co-chair Anne Haskell of Portland says the deadline for lawmakers to submit their bills is this Friday.
"Those are all confidential, and so after this week when the bills are filed, we should have a better idea of how many tax proposals there are," she says. "And I can't imagine we'd have, oh - a couple hundred bills in our committee before the session is over."
At the earliest, those proposed bills will become public next week.

In Fayetteville, NC, USA
Sakura (sushi bar)
Their unagi-maki and white miso soup are great!
Miyabi of Kyoto (resturaunt/ habachi/ sushi bar/ pub)
Everything I've tried was good, but I really liked their "Emerald Roll". Besides rice, it has urchin eggs, avocado, cucumber, eel, and something else that I can't quite recall. No nori in that one.
Matsuri Sports Bar
(Besides the obvious, they also have sushi and RAMEN)
Their Miso Ramen was very good. The unagi a waitress carried past my seat smelled wonderful, but I was not feeling well, and was just there for the soup.
That's around the corner from me!!
My recommendation for London would have to be Sushi-Say, outside Willesden Green Tube station. It's reasonably expensive during the week, but on Sundays they have various lunch specials (normally a sushi set or doniburi, plus miso soup, pickles and a simmered veg dish) starting at about £10. They also make all their own ice cream, with some very interesting and subtle flavours - I go mad for the chestnut, coffee, green tea, coconut ones. The restaurant is small and gets full pretty quickly, but you can sit and admire the sushi chef's work in the open plan kitchen. The staff are lovely, too.
I have some really fond memories of the food at Edamame, as well as the "cosy" atmosphere and ever-changing menu!
I hope Gashi Gashi on the Cowley Road is still going strong - the sushi there (as well as the staff) was just lovely.
Couple of good places to try.
For upscale, excellent food and sushi try Umi. http://www.bigburrito.com/umi/
Good home style food, small place try Chaya http://www.chayausa.com/index.html or Kiku http://www.kikupittsburgh.net/ We really like the shabu-shabu at Kiku and its about the only place in Pittsburgh other than the market where you can find natto, if you like natto, which I love.
Not strictly Japanese (Korean really, owned by a very nice family that runs a quality establishment), but has really good sushi at great prices and also some good noodle dishes try Sushi Kim. http://www.sushikim.com/
I posted the message above but I have my JustHungry account now and wanted to add the following.. I had a great bento today for lunch at a place in Pittsburgh that someone earlier mentioned in this thread.. Tokyo Japanese Market http://www.tokyostorepgh.com/en.html
The owner is a nice guy and willing to stop and talk and help you out of you are looking for something. (Since I don't read Japanese I might know what I am looking for in English, but finding it on the shelf is a different challenge) :)
Hard to beat a good lunch for $5.95. of course i needed to stock up on staples so the out the door bill was a bit more than that, but all worth it.
Another great place for rolls is Michi Sushi in Campbell, CA. Anytime I am in the San Francisco area I make it a point to stop there.
great sushi, some of the best grilled collar's I have ever had and very friendly. They have the largest selections of roll's that I have ever seen (something like 100+ on the menu) plus quite a few that you need to know to ask for. I also strongly recommend their nigorizake. It looks like milk, tastes devine and its somewhat on the sweet side.
Well a new one opened here in town, Hibachi Grill (redundant name), is a pan-Asian buffet.
They had mostly Chinese and Japanese food. I had Inari-zushi to start and it was just incredible, then I had some Chicken Yakitori, and it was pretty good too(but not quite as good as mine). Then I had some General Tso's Chicken*, it was also really good. We had a coffee flavored Kasutera cake for dessert.
The staff are Chinese so practicing your Japanese there is not a good idea. It will totally confuse your waitress. I thought it was hilarious that the guy manning the Hibachi was wearing a hapi coat that said ラーメン (Ramen) on it, tho' I didn't say as much. He couldn't read it and neither could the other people in line. I asked him if they served ramen too, and he asked why I had asked, and when I said that I'd read it on his hapi coat, he seemed a bit shocked to learn its meaning.
The only downside to this place that I saw was the lack of Asian teas. They only had black hot English tea and Iced Black Tea. Of course most Asian restaurants around here only carry Southern Sweet Tea.
*Chinese-American dish invented in a Chinese Restaurant in NY City.
If any of you are ever in the capital of the Philippines, I would highly recommend Omakase. They have several branches around the metro. My husband and I are huge fans of Japanese cuisine. We have tried a vast amount of restaurants and we almost always conclude that they are inferior to Omakase. They have the best sushi, maki, and sashimi, and they have a good spread of other dishes as well. For Php850 (US$17 current rates) a couple can dine well and be very satisfied.
For a slightly cheaper but not inferior meal, I would suggest Sushiya. Ironically, I would recommend their customizable teishoku (which is popularly known as bento boxes here ^ ^;; ) for around Php600 (US$12) a couple.
I don't get how anyone can complain about Japanese food. It's the best asian type food forsure. Not only is the sushi good, but they create some of the best edamame in the world. Alongside great chefs that are always funny. I cannot complain about the food. It's even better in Japan. I just got back and the U.S. chefs that cook Japanese food do not compare to the authentic Japanese chefs in Japan. Trust me. Go there. :)
Well, this is an old thread but threads like this should be constantly updated so...
From what I see no one on the forums lives where I live: Canada, British Columbia, Prince George. We're considered the 'Northern Capital' because we have the highest population of all the northern towns. Aaaand, that doesn't say much since we have pretty much nothing here.
BUT we do have an awesome restaurant Downtown! The 'Japanese Wasabi Sushi Wonton House' is, so far, the best Japanese restaurant we have in PG. They are MSG free and a meal for two can be as little as twenty dollars. Since PG is landlocked and ten hours from any other large town the ingredients are very nice and relatively fresh (have yet to meet any restaurant that can cook shrimp properly in PG). I don't go often because I live half an hour from town and live on a budget. Whenever I treat myself I go there, though.
So if you're ever in Prince George (for whatever reason) go to the 'Japanese Wasabi Sushi Wonton House' on 395 Quebec Street by Dominion st. And that's the only contribution I have. I believe a new restaurant opened Downtown so I'll have to check it out with my Mum.
Nominate Sushi Nori in San Diego suburb of Escondido. It is a small restaurant in a strip mall but has gained much acclaim over the four years it has been open. The sushi chefs are artists and you must try to specials...which change everyday based on fresh ingredients and the chef's imagination. Don't think there is an online menu or website but you can book and get a discount coupon at San Diego Restaurants.
I agree, Domo is awesome! Another great thing about the restaurant is the owner donates some of the money he makes to charities dedicated to helping children around the world! It's a wonderful kind of Japanese food that you don't usually find at other Japanese restaurants. Recently, my boyfriend and I attended an iaido (sword martial arts) seminar, with a high-ranking sensei who visited us from Japan. We all ate at Domo, and they were kind enough to let us eat in the museum section of it. It was great!
This restaurant not only serves great food, but it also has a wonderful museum section, a Japanese garden, and a dojo that holds regular Aikido practices!
Definitely a jewel of Denver, despite being located in kind of a weird place.
I was wary of Koumi Express on North Roxboro because, seriously, drive-through Japanese food? In North Carolina? But the main squeeze and I gave it a shot, and I was pleasantly surprised. The menu is more entree-centric, with a few sushi rolls are available. We split a cucumber roll by way of a sort-of appentizer (contained takuwan!!!!) and I had a combination platter minus the "shrimp sauce" (which I can only figure is a concession to The South.) The meat was perfectly good, juicy & tender, but the vegetables were off the charts.
I'm unfortunately ill-equipped to judge whether sushi is good or authentic by Japanese standards, but I enjoy Sushi Love (near Duke Hospital), and Akashi (near 54/55, and if you want to make a day of it, eat at Bombay Grill next door too.) Akashi is responsible for my introduction to umeboshi, so I am forever in their debt. :D
Anyone know of anywhere good in Montreal?

Mold Removal| Mold Remediation
AdvantaClean specializes in mold removal. Mold removal (also known as mold remediation), is the process of cleaning mold by removing and treating surfaces and materials that have been contaminated by mold or mildew. The methods used for mold cleanup will vary, depending on the type of mold in the house or building and the effects of mold on the surface or material.
Mold Removal: Customized mold inspections
AdvantaClean will provide a customized mold inspection in your home or business Mold testing options include air-o-cell tests and swab samples to identify the types and concentrations of mold present in an environment. Once the source and types of mold are identified, a mold removal plan will be developed and executed, including containment of the work area to control and limit the spread of mold in the house or other contaminants into surrounding areas of your home or building.. The mold inspection, which will be performed by a mold specialist, can include a visual inspection, moisture readings and mold testing.
Mold Removal: Our process
AdvantaClean's mold specialists use HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuums for mold removal after all affected materials have been thoroughly dried and contaminated materials have been removed. HEPA vacuums have specialized filters that capture tiny mold particles that would typically pass right through a normal vacuum filter. HEPA vacuums are also used for the cleanup of dust that may have settled on surfaces outside of the mold remediation area.
Mold Removal: Why hire a mold specialist?
Mold removal is not a "do it yourself job". Mold removal requires professional chemicals, equipment and training. Treating mold with household chemicals such as bleach can cause mold to spread and create more costly issues in your home or building. Contact AdvantaClean for professional mold removal.

On any given day, Tennessee National Guard pilots are flying a plane in a combat mission somewhere in the world, from a cockpit on the ground at a military air base in the United States.
"Once you get in, whether it is training or whether it's an actual combat mission, you kind of get lost in the fact that you are not physically in the aircraft," explained the pilot of an Remote Piloted Aircraft, or RPA, serving with the Tennessee Air National Guard. WBIR-TV agreed to keep his identity secret after his commanders expressed concerns that the pilot and his family could become a target based on his current duty.
For the first time this fall, Tennessee Air Guard commanders granted WBIR-TV permission to interview one of the first pilots trained in the unmanned flight program that has become a central mission of the 118th Wing, based in Nashville. That transition has unfolded during the last year as those civilian warriors have moved from flying and maintaining C-130 cargo planes and into what pilots call the "unmanned world."
"It has been a rapid mission," said Lieutenant Colonel Keith Allbritton, who says dozens of pilots with the Tennessee Air Guard are now trained to fly unmanned aircraft in combat.
"It's not really a drone at all. A lot of people [hear drone] think a machine controlled by a machine. Again, there is always a pilot at the controls," said Lt. Col. Allbritton.
Dozens of pilots have graduated RPA training from the Tennessee Air Guard. They come from all walks of life. In the civilian world they hold down jobs as commercial airline pilots, bankers, mortgage brokers, and one pilot used to work at a Waffle House. Commanders say candidates wash-out just as they do any other pilot training school, but they are also now training more pilots to fly unmanned aircraft than any other plane in the Air Force inventory.
"It's kind of exciting to be on the ground floor of something," said Pilot X.
At the moment, RPA pilots must head to other air bases in the U.S. to fly the RPAs. But the 118th Wing plans to install the ground-based cockpits on the Nashville air base in the next two years. And commanders say in the near future, we will likely see RPAs in the skies above Tennessee. The Federal Aviation Administration and lawmakers at the state and federal level are working on rules that will govern unmanned flight.
"When we bring this [RPA] back to the states, at some point, it will get here, and Hollywood wants to make movies with them, farmers want to look at their crops with them… the possibilities for applications are pretty limitless," said Lt. Col. Allbritton.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Pi is single most important invention of the modern age. Pi is the key ingredient that allowed primitive man to invent the concept of circles. And the invention of circles lead to the invention of the wheel. Pi did that. Invented the wheel, I mean. And much more.
Here is a list of some stuff that pi helped invent:
- Cups
- Jars
- Wheels
- Airplanes
- Nighttime
YEAH HEY GUESS WHAT. PI HELPED INVENT THE NIGHTTIMES. Oh shit sorry I got a bit over exited there. But holy shit man. This is pi we're talking about. And pi invented the nighttime. And the nighttime invented basketball.
The invention of basketball
It was a dark and stormy NIGHT. Three wisemen were riding towards Harlem on giant tanks made of gold and covered in diamonds and rubies and emeralds and the heads of women and children from Canada. Suddenly Jesus. And a bathtub full of acid. And next thing you know Heith Ledger is dead and basketball is on CNN every morning at 18 blue donkey hour.
More stuff that pi helped invent
- Keanu Reeves
- Hollywood
- Mexico
- Trees
- The wind
- Guns
- Batman
Important safety information
Don't stop believing.
What is believing?
Believing is when you think something to be true with your mind, brain, body, and soul. It is a religious practice that dates back to the beginning of time. Pi did not invent believing, but you can believe that it did if you try hard enough. I believe that you can believe if only you believe that you can believe. Believe me, I believe in belief.
Other important things that Pi made possible
- Star Trek
- Rap music
- Democracy
- Rum
- Unprotected sex
- The weekend
- Clocks
- Time
How pi invented time
One day Pi was chilling pool side with his homies, smoking a blunt and discussing the finer points of fried chicken. Suddenly Pi said, "I would certainly like some fried chicken right now." But because time hadn't been invented yet he couldn't move his limbs. He could only move his mouth. So, with his mouth he started making clicking noises, using his tongue and the roof of his mouth. His homies asked him what he was doing and he explained, "I have just invented the first clock!" Suddenly they could all move their arms and legs and thoraxes so they stood up and walked away from the pool. They walked and walked and everywhere they went, time spread. Children who previously could only move their mouths were suddenly able to play and dance and sing. Eventually Pi and his homies arrived at their local fried chicken dispensary and ordered a bunch of chicken and enjoyed it.
