But Trip's not the only rival that their friend Dawn meets who can be a pain in the neck excatly. That's right! And lookout everyone, here comes Iris' rival, Georgia, the Dragon Buster, and Cilan's rival, Burgundy, the C-Class Pokemon Connoissuese who doesn't like Dawn's Pokemon Coordinator personality when she's friends with Cilan.

Michele is going back to Batsh*tistan where she'll settle down to focus on her gay marriage to Marcus.
Michele Bachmann: I'm quitting my House seat in 2014
By Ian Johnston, Staff Writer, NBC News
Video: http://youtu.be/Q-nV4AGV50I
Tea Party favorite Michele Bachmann, who last year ran for the Republican presidential nomination, announced on Wednesday that she will stand down from her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
In a video posted on her website and on YouTube, the stressed that her decision to stand down from her Minnesota seat was not due to any concern she would be defeated at the next election in 2014 or the inquiries into activities of her former presidential campaign staff.
And she said she would continue to fight for the policies she believes in and that her future was "limitless and my passion for America will remain."
"There is no future option or opportunity … that I wouldn't be giving serious consideration if it can help save and protect our great nation," she said.
Bachmann said her decision to run for Congress and to seek the presidency had been "based solely on my heartfelt concern for our country's future."
"Unfortunately today I am even more concerned about our country's future than I've ever been in the past," she said.
"On so many issues, we're clearly on the wrong track," she added.
Bachmann said she had fought for a balanced budget and fiscal responsibility and warned of the "ultimate risk of the destruction of our entire economic system."
She said she had "called out the Muslim Jihadi terrorists for who they are and for the evil they perpetrate upon our people" and highlighted the blunders of U.S. foreign policy in relation to the Arab Spring uprisings, which she described as an "evil earthquake."
She also slammed the "despicable treatment" by the U.S. of "our great friend and ally Israel."
Bachmann said she would continue to fight to protect "innocent human life," "traditional marriage," "family values," "religious liberty," and "academic excellence."
And she would also oppose the Democrats, saying "our founders would hardly even recognize" the U.S. of today.
"Feel confident that over the next 18 months I will continue to work 100-hour weeks and continue to do everything I can to advance our conservative principles that have served as the bedrock for who we are as a nation."
Gee, ya think the Congressional Ethics investigation and the FBI probe had anything to do with her decision to quit? LOL!

The Senate is preparing to begin debating new gun control measures, and some of President Barack Obama's fellow Democrats are poised to frustrate his efforts to enact the most sweeping limits on weapons in decades.
These Democrats from largely rural states with strong gun cultures view Obama's proposals warily and have not committed to supporting them.
The lawmakers' concerns could stand in the way of strong legislation before a single Republican gets a chance to vote "no."
All eyes are on a core group of these Democrats, including Sens. Max Baucus of Montana, Mark Begich of Alaska and Mark Pryor of Arkansas, who are up for re-election in 2014.
The Senate Judiciary Committee begins hearings Wednesday.

Caleb Benenoch's former high school coach, Kevin O'Keefe, was pleased to learn this week that Benenoch had finalized a verbal commitment to Michigan State.Benenoch, who committed to MSU on Tuesday, was part of O'Keefe's final team at Katy (Texas) Seven Lakes High. O'Keefe stepped down from the post for health reasons after helping Seven Lakes to its first winning season in school history in 2011, which was Seven Lakes' fifth year of varsity football. "Caleb is a great kid and a lot of fun to coach, that's what I liked about him," O'Keefe said. "He liked to practice and he liked to be there every day. He's a lot of fun in drills, and works hard and competes. It's the ideal. He played great."He is a big kid and he certainly is an imposing figure on the field. He is very athletic. He has great feet and hips for a kid that size."Brand new Seven Lakes High made steady progress in the AAAAA level of high school football in the Houston area, which is generally perceived as one of the top levels of high school football in the entire country."He was matched up against some of the top kids around here and performed extremely well," O'Keefe said.That included a match-up with Danielle Hunter, who signed with LSU in February. "Against Danielle Hunter, Caleb played extremely well and neutralized an athlete of that caliber," O'Keefe said. "We see his potentially really being there, and he got better and better every week. He is a good student of the game and works hard at it and keeps improving."Benenoch is only begin to scratch the surface of his potential. Benenoch has annually taken a step backward in conditioning in order to go to Africa each summer with his father."His dad is a missionary over there and each summer Caleb has gone over there, much to the chagrin of his coaches," O'Keefe said. This has caused him to miss out on summer conditioning and preseason two-a-days. "He spends the majority of the summer there in Africa and then returns and then we have got to get him back into shape for the fall," O'Keefe said. "This year I think he is committed to staying and working out this sumn mer.Benenoch (6-6, 321) has some tightening up to do. But O'Keefe said Benenoch carries his weight well. "He is a well-proportioned kid for a kid that big, but it was just in those younger years, that's when they need the development, that's when we would have liked to have had him in the summer," O'Keefe said. "We were losing the key time with him so I think it slowed down his progress. But if he stays in there this summer he will have a great senior year."Michigan State began recruiting him last fall. Wide receivers coach Terry Samuel is MSU's area recruiter."I talked with them during the fall recruiting period and I saw that Caleb got real excited about Michigan State," O'Keefe said. "He really liked him. They were impressed with him."He got a lot of attention from Nebraska, but Michigan State created probably the most personal relationship with him and I think that appealed to him a great deal. "I think he is a kid that is open to travel, obviously, because he has been around the world. Sitting at home was not something that was not high on his list so he he was open to looking at other place and I think he realizes Michigan State is big-time football and is going to give him a great opportunity.Benenoch (pronounced Ben-in-ock) had a growing list of offers which included Kansas State, Ole Miss and West Virginia when he committed to Michigan State."I think he is going to be a kid that is really going to explode on the recruiting scene this spring when people come through," O'Keefe said. "There wasn't much film on him a year ago so people didn't come in and know he was there. This year they do, so he will get a lot of attention but I think he wanted to put that aside and get ready to play."Michigan State did a great job of recruiting and I think both parties are going to be real happy with it. I think it's a great thing for the young man and the school and hopefully he takes that commitment very seriously and honors it and begins a relationship with Michigan State that lasts the rest of his life."O'Keefe said Benenoch compares favorably with Herbert Taylor, whom O'Keefe coached at Sugarland (Texas) Hightower before Taylor went on to TCU. Taylor played for the Green Bay Packers in 2011, which was his fourth year in the NFL."Herbert did not have the overall size as far as weight that Caleb has, but as far as athleticism, I'm hoping that Caleb would achieve that same type of athletic ability and I think he can," O'Keefe said. Benenoch is making strong progress in the weight room. "In the winter when we started up, he benched 375," O'Keefe said. "So he will be over 400 probably by the end of the spring, which is good."Good figures for a young, long-armed player, especially."He is a very long-armed kid," O'Keefe said."You can watch him on film and he will stay engaged with opponents from snap to whistle and to see a big kid going down the field 20 or 30 yards and staying engaged on a block is special and it just shows his tenacity, and his getting it and understanding what finishing a play is all about. I was always impressed by that characteristic."Benenoch is strong in the classroom."He's a solid, B-plus student, pushing to be an A-student," O'Keefe said.Benenoch mostly played out of a two-point stance in Seven Lakes' pistol offense last year. Benenoch had no trouble bending and playing with a low pad level on running plays."He played tackle so he was in a two-point most of the time and for a big kid he did very well getting out of that stance," O'Keefe said. "He did a great job. His feet and hips are great." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

He's not saying, "Let's give people tools to make walls useless and obsolete" but rather, "let's give people tools to tear down walls so that the match becomes a struggle on both sides." Ultimately, it's more fun that way. If one's strategy revolves around a strong defense (ie usually refess), it should be that side's objective to ensure the strategy goes off and to maintain that strategy against enemy disruption.
He could have worded it better but he went DG's route.
And this forum is tired of DG short of few fans that DG somehow have.
Also, I like how replay showing magic greatsword dude with 90 atk by as early as turn 4 or something has the deniers fleeing for the seven seas.
You're serious about that replay? I thought you were trolling, considering it was against an NPC. Nevertheless, that file you built is a bad file, it doesn't make any sense for WK to use owl sage as a first SS. That file would get eaten alive by pretty much any other lvl 3 rush.
Anyway no one pointed it out, but I'm gonna say I was wrong about Crest Blitz swordsman (Icy was correct in bringing it up). I read that as per turn (which I think is how it should be) as opposed to a permanent buff. The fact that crest blitz swordsman is actually better than a free revive (since a free revive doesn't give you +1 sp when it dies) + the fact that it can oneshot anything is probably a bit too strong. Iirc that's the main reason Magic doll augmented's close was nerfed (and yes I realize it was due to the interaction with overdose)?

Mate, Im not necessarily disagreeing with your general point but Belle Vue is much closer to Fev than Rothwell is.
Maybe a example too far. However as a Featherstone supporter, who would you say the people of Normanton would support?
With this stadium being built, they will have a super league team next door.

Associated Press Release
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia will become one of 10 states to participate in a federal program aimed at improving the way students get free or reduced-price lunches at school.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/11T8z3R) that at least two school districts in metro Atlanta -- Clayton County Schools and Atlanta Public Schools -- have signed up so far for the Community Eligibility Option.
The program was part of the $4.5 billion Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010.
Georgia was one of four states invited to join the growing program this upcoming school year before it goes nationwide in 2014-15.
The Community Eligibility Option program reduces the paperwork requirements associated with the meals, with the goal of streamlining the process.

DENVER (AP) -- The grandfather of a 6-year-old girl killed during the Aurora theater shootings wants a thief to return the last photos of the girl that were stolen during a home burglary.
Robert Sullivan, grandfather of Veronica Moser-Sullivan, says four cameras were stolen Tuesday, including one that had a memory card with photos of the girl.
Sullivan says he still has a well-known photo of the girl licking an ice cream cone, but the rest of the photos are gone.
Moser-Sullivan was the youngest person slain in the July 20 shooting. Former University of Colorado-Denver graduate student James Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 58 others in the attack.

From Franklin D. Roosevelt and Frank Sinatra to Queen Elizabeth II and Elizabeth Taylor, the hotel's guestbook reads like an A-list of twentieth century historical figures - not to mention tens of thousands of well-to-do tourists and travelers.
Over the years however some sticky-fingered guests have tried to claim a little bit of the Waldorf magic for themselves, checking out with hotel items as a souvenir of their stay.

So I came up with this Idea yesterday when I was talking about character conversations. It started with the thought that more character's should have conversations with each other, or have support conversations with friendly units.
Basically this tourney is a face off of the various Heroes and Villains Alteil has to offer. The general idea is that your supposed to make a file based a specific character's story.
Currently there is no set date for this Tourney as, I still have to learn more about the lore to be able to correctly judge if the file passes through, and to find a way to balance out the choices. Also the longer this Idea is here the more time will pass for people to collect the cards needed to join since characters are basically all 3* to 5*. If I forget about this idea, somebody else should pick it up and host it.
I will be adding a list of Characters and cards around their lore as I go.

- Femtosecond fabricated surfaces for cell biology
- Author(s)
- Day, Daniel; Gu, Min
- Abstract
- Microfabrication using femtosecond pulse lasers is enabling access to a range of structures, surfaces and materials that was not previously available for scientific and engineering applications. The ability to produce micrometre sized features directly in polymer and metal substrates is demonstrated with applications in cell biology. The size, shape and aspect ratio of the etched features can be precisely controlled through the manipulation of the fluence of the laser etching process with respect to the properties of the target material. Femtosecond laser etching of poly(methyl methacrylate) and aluminium substrates has enabled the production of micrometre resolution moulds that can be accurately replicated using soft lithography. The moulded surfaces are used in the imaging of T cells and demonstrate the improved ability to observe biological events over time periods greater than 10 h. These results indicate the great potential femtosecond pulse lasers may have in the future manufacturing of microstructured surfaces and devices.

Zhao Wei, a renowned Chinese film actress and a friend of Jaeger-LeCoultre, visited the brand's manufacturing facilities in the Valley de Joux, Switzerland.
Hosted by Jaeger-LeCoultre CEO Jerome Lambert, Zhao Wei discovered different stages of watch manufacturing, decoration and assembly. Impressed by the work of watchmakers that requires an incredible amount of patience and precision, Zhao Wei particularly admired gem setting and enamelling techniques that went into making the Rendez-Vous, a new ladies High Jewellery watch by Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Zhao Wei visited Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre, testifying to almost 180 years of continuous development on a single site and the unique integration of all skills under one roof. The serenity and the natural beauty of the surroundings are doubtless the finest source of inspiration guiding the eye, hand and heart of the "artisans of time". A long-established heritage of know-how and passion beats at the heart of each creation from the Manufacture. Born from an invention, the Grande Maison has always been fired by the spirit of discovery and the need to create ever more precise and complex technical marvels. This established reference in the field of fine watchmaking currently has over 500 complicated calibres to its credit.
"I love mechanical watches, it gives you the feeling that you can control your time and what you are doing," – said Zhao Wei. "I have attended several events wearing Jaeger-LeCoultre watches. They match my aesthetic standard and style. I think Jaeger-LeCoultre watches carry very profound meanings, craftsmanship and history".
Earlier this year Zhao Wei, the essence of elegance and refinement, presented Jaeger-LeCoultre's Rendez-Vous ladies' watch collection during Shanghai Film Festival and walked the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival in her new identity as a friend of Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Zhao Wei, friend of the brand
Zhao Wei is a famous Chinese film actress as well as a pop singer. She has been awarded Hundred Flowers Film Award, Shanghai Film Critics Award, Hua Biao Film Award, Golden Eagle TV Award as well as Shanghai International Film Festival Golden Goblet Award.
Zhao Wei rose to international stardom in films such as Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer (2001), So Close (2002) and the epic Warriors of Heaven and Earth (2004), Hua Mulan (2009), Secret Service Of The Imperial Court (2010). In John Woo's historical epic Red Cliff (2009), she played warrior princess Sun Shangxiang. She gained positive comments from media. For her achievements in film, television, and music, Japanese media dubbed her China's No.1 actress, and UK's The Independent described her as "China's box office darling".

To Develop Design-Oriented Products and Provide Differentiated Value That Will Captivate Customers, LG Electronics Has Put its Focus on "Design Management," a Strategy Supporting a Design-Oriented Development of All Products and Services.
Every member of the LG Electronics management team, including our CEO, predicted that design could be combined with cutting-edge technologies in order to drastically change the way we live, playing a pivotal role in creating new cultural pathways.
As the first Korean company to introduce the concept of industrial design in 1958, it was only logical that LG Electronics should define design as one of our four core capabilities in 1999, eventually announcing our "design management" strategy in 2006. This grand vision incorporates the company's dream of changing the way people live via design, and maximizing the company's brand value.
The company's management personnel ensure that "design is not simply the outward appearance of products that users see and feel, but also the cultural expression of an era that defines and guides people's lives."
The company is therefore determined to foster an environment conducive to the development of new products and services, with a focus on truly creative design.
Shedding the legacy of past technology-oriented designs, LG Electronics has formed a "Cross-Functional Team" - composed of product planning, design, and marketing professionals, in combination with other departments-whose task is to focus on design issues identified in the initial product development stage.
In all, these efforts signify our company's deep commitment to ensuring distinctive product concepts that provide customers with the best value and the best design.
At LG Electronics, we're not only making a great leap toward the design-oriented development of products and services, we're also working hard to re-visualize our management philosophies and corporate spirit, through the lens of great design. In fact, LG Electronics uses design as a management resource to enhance our corporate brand in a variety of fields, such as product advertising, publicity, store displays, and services.

The Enterprise crew must cope with devastating damage to the ship, with another alien ship needing assistance nearby. Dissent grows in the Xindi Council.
On the Xindi Council ship orbiting Azati Prime, Dolim is angered by the rest of the Xindi recalling his ships behind his back. Degra is becoming more and more convinced about what Captain Archer told him. Dolim remains unconvinced, but is forced to release Archer by the Xindi-Arboreal councilor.
Captain Archer is taken on board a Xindi-Aquatic ship, and is released back to Enterprise in an escape pod. At least 14 crew members have died from the attack, and there are further casualties in sickbay. With only one phase cannon and the aft torpedo launcher working as defense against another attack, the Captain orders that they should try to find somewhere to hide, just in case the Reptilians come back to finish them off. They head towards a nearby comet dust field for cover. En route, they intercept a smaller ship in distress.
The smaller ship has sustained damage from the spatial anomalies, and asks the Captain for assistance. Captain Archer tries to convince the aliens to part with their warp coil in exchange for a supply of trellium-D, but they refuse.
T'Pol begins experiencing withdrawal symptoms, because she has been cut off from the supply of trellium-D by all the damage sustained. She uses an EV suit to get to it, and injects some into herself, relieving the symptoms.
From the escape pod, Ensign Sato translates some coordinates and a stardate, indicating where Degra will be on that date, three days from now. Unfortunately, it's over four light years from their current position, and without their warp drive the Enterprise will never get there in time. Archer decides to throw the rule book out of the window, and board the alien ship to steal their warp coil.
In the Xindi Council chamber, Daegra and the Primate and Arboreal Council members meet with a member of the trans-dimensional species. They question if she had anything to do with sending the Reptilians into the past to build a bio-weapon. She admits to helping the Reptilians in order to keep them and the Insectoids from leaving the Council. This angers Degra, and he questions if Archer's claim that her species built the spheres is true. She deflects the question, angrily demanding that Earth be destroyed for the benefit of all Xindi, and to not summon her again unless all the members of the Council are present. After she leaves, the Primate Council member asks why they should doubt her. Degra insists that they must examine the proof offered by Captain Archer.
After an emotional argument with the captain about the planned attack on the alien ship, T'Pol consults Dr. Phlox, and he is shocked. T'Pol explains how she began to experiment with trellium after their encounter with the Seleya, and how injecting herself with the compound allowed her to access certain emotions, but that she has now become addicted. He decides to help her overcome her problem, and agrees to not tell anyone.
With a boarding party, Archer, and Trip transport onto the vessel, and manage to steal their warp coil while leaving behind three containers of trellium-D as well as other supplies in 'compensation'. When the Captain asks why Archer is doing this, Archer simply states that he has no choice before leaving, knowing that by taking their warp coil the alien crew has been left stranded three years from their home. After integrating it into the Enterprise systems, Archer orders maximum warp speed (now only 3.2), and they set off to meet Degra at the coordinates.
T'Pol and Phlox discuss her residual emotional instability. T'Pol fears that she may never fully be able to supress her feelings again.

Background Information
- The actions of the crew here are reflected back to their own encounter with piracy in "Anomaly".
- We learn that, as a result of the Xindi attacks, 14 members of the crew are dead and three are unaccounted for, probably the ones flying into space in the previous episode.
- This episode contains the first mention of stardates on the series. The stardate is communicated to Enterprise by Degra.
- Casey Biggs (the Illyrian captain) is better known for playing the recurring character of Damar in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Three of his co-stars in this episode are also former Deep Space Nine guest stars. Rick Worthy played Kornan in "Soldiers of the Empire", Scott MacDonald played Tosk in "Captive Pursuit" and Goran'Agar in "Hippocratic Oath". Randy Oglesby played both Ah-Kel and Ro-Kel in "Vortex" and Silaran Prin in "The Darkness and the Light".
- Dorenda Moore plays one of the MACOs who participate in the incursion to the Illyrian starship, however her character is referred to as "Parsons" and not as "S. Money", a character already established in the season.
- Among the items from this episode which were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay, was the costume of stuntman Eric Norris, which was previously worn by a background actor in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Alliances" and by actor Bob Rudd in the episode "Nightingale". [1]

Placer County Board of Supervisors opposes California septic system inspections, fees
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
Foes of a plan to force property owners to pay $325 every five years as part of a statewide septic system inspection program found support at the Placer County Board of Supervisors. An estimated 50 people applauded loudly in support of speakers critical of the State Water Resources Control Board proposal to institute mandatory inspections on 1.2 million property owners with onsite sewage treatment. That total includes an estimated 26,000 septic sites in Placer County. The group found strong support from supervisors in their opposition to proposed state regulations that would go into effect by mid-year 2010. No one spoke for the regulations, which are designed to help implement legislation passed by the state eight years ago to protect rivers and lakes from septic effluent seeping from failed systems. Speaker after speaker denounced the draft plan, which goes before the state board Feb. 9 in Sacramento for a final hearing. Many said they'd be at the hearing to attempt to keep the inspections and charges from being instituted. Auburn's Ron Blair expressed pleasure after all five supervisors spoke against the proposal. "I came here to fight the dragon and there is none – at least not at this board," Blair said. Wally Reemelin, president of the League of Placer County Taxpayers, described the state proposal as too onerous and not scientific enough. "It's a shotgun, when you need a real accurate thing aimed at what the target is," Reemelin said. Reemelin said he'll be at the Feb. 9 hearing. Newly elected Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery, who represents the eastern 5th District on the board, said she plans to be at the hearing too. Montgomery described the initial bill approved in 2000 as well-intentioned but the proposed rules as "intrusive, expensive and unneeded." Supervisor Jim Holmes, who represents the Auburn area, said the proposal was "intrusive and unnecessary." He said he'll join other Regional Association of Rural Counties members lobbying state legislators on Thursday to use their influence to move the control board's rules away from costly septic system inspections. Kirk Uhler said that he felt opponents of the inspection plan would find 4th District Assemblyman Ted Gaines, R-Roseville, 1st District state Sen. Dave Cox, R-Fair Oaks, and 2nd District Assemblyman Dan Logue, R-Linda, a "receptive audience" to their concerns. Supervisors Rocky Rockholm and Robert Weygandt also said they were against the inspections and fees. "It's another case of if it isn't broken there's no need to fix it," Rockholm said. "I'm not on a septic system but this is too intrusive, ridiculous – we don't need this." The supervisors will be sending a letter to the control board citing their objections to the inspection plan. The Journal's Gus Thomson can be reached at email@example.com. ________________________________________ Fast facts: Timeline on state septic system plans Jan. 27 – Placer County supervisors decide to oppose inspections and fees proposed by State Water Resources Control Board Feb. 9 – State's public hearing and comment period ends on draft.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (WUSA9) -- A man last seen going out for groceries was killed when his car ran into a tree.
According to authorities, about 1 a.m. Sunday, an off-duty police employee alerted colleagues about a gray pick-up truck being driven erratically. An officer located the car on Route 108 and Hawkins Creamery Rd. but before he could get the driver to stop, the car went left and struck a tree.
The collision was deadly. The driver is identified as Jose A. Ayala, 49, of Gaithersburg. Family members told police he was diabetic and insulin dependent.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

The clever crew at FENDI just struck pure genius. With a great play on words and an even better take on "fast fashion," the luxe fashion house has coined the very first "FENDI-ing Machine."
So it's not actually a machine, but rather a trendy pop-up store located right in the heart of NYC's fashion hub, SoHo. However, customers can run in and snag a 2Jours or baguette from shelves that resemble large vending machines, complete with keypad and all. They'll also be greeted with game-room window displays upon arrival, such as a claw-like machine clutching the coveted Buggie bag. The Karl Lagerfeld–inspired version of this Furby-looking bag is rumored to have a wait list 600 people deep (proof that it's in high demand).
Now, I've never had much luck with arcade games. But when they involve this season's most talked-about accessory? I'm willing to give them a second try.

Our work to build healthy communities, families and individuals is at the heart of Mercy Corps' vision for social change. By partnering with a range of partners, from village health committees to government agencies, we help build the means to improve maternal, newborn and child health, ensure proper nutrition and combat infectious diseases.
All stories about Health
Afghanistan: One Lucky Woman In Hazarjuft
Bakhtawar is sitting on a bed in the female in-patient ward of Hazarjuft Hospital in Helmand, Afghanistan. Her name means "lucky woman" but she has been anything but lucky when it comes to preganancy and health.
Reaching the Farthest Child
Kosovo: A mother and child of mercy
Tina is Albanian. She met her Albanian Kosovar husband Ishmet during her nursing training in Albania and they moved back to his family home in Istog in northern Kosovo. It was a painful time for Tina.
Afghanistan: Building a Community of Participation
"Self-sustaining" and "community empowerment" are two terms found in almost every humanitarian assistance plan. Overused and sometimes overlooked, they represent the cornerstone of long-term success.
Afghanistan: Rebuilding Opportunity
It was supposed to be 18 kilometers of life, flowing through rural villages and farms as steady as a summer breeze. It would be a welcome elixir that would keep families and livestock healthy, while allowing an impoverished region to claw its way to economic prosperity.
Afghanistan: Master Trainers
On the inhospitable border, nicknamed "No Man's Land", between Pakistan and Afghanistan, a husband and wife team is working to improve the lives of Afghan refugee families flowing to and from Pakistan. Parveen and Syed Safdar are Master Trainers for Mercy Corps.
Afghanistan: A Never-Ending Struggle
Physical disabilities are rampant among the refugees of Afghanistan. In the camps and villages are the stark visual reminders of the toll that war and lack of access to basic healthcare has taken on these people. Men, women and children are all victims of this tragedy.
Afghanistan: The Women of the Katchi Abadis
Tucked into the dark and dirty corners of Quetta - the capital of Pakistan's poorest province, Balochistan - are hints of a refugee tragedy that has received little notice and even less assistance: The plight of the urban Afghan refugee.
Pakistan: Hope Springs Eternal
Afghanistan: Hope for the Best, Plan for the Worst
CHAMAN, Pakistan - Not a tree, bush or green living thing can be seen for miles. Dust-devils spot the arid landscape near the Pakistani town of Chaman, on the Afghan border. It is this hot, inhospitable place that over 33,000 Afghan refugees call home, for now.

- "Assume the goat is goat and don't ask where the beer comes from at this Jamaican bar where they take the smoking ban about as seriously as they take the local police."
- ―GTA IV Manual Description
The Homebrew Café is a Jamaican restaurant and café in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City, and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
Located at the southern end of Tutelo Avenue in Beechwood City, off the Broker-Dukes Expressway, it is the local front for the Yardies. Little Jacob, a friend of Niko and Roman, usual customer of the café, but is only seen there during certain missions. Its area can be very crowded with Jamaicans at night.In GTA IV, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, the player can play pool there, either with a friend, a date, or, if he is alone, with a random bar patron. A QUB3D video arcade game is also located here. Despite being a "cafe", the establishment, much like with other non-fast-food restaurants, does not offer food or drinks to replenish health.
Like most landmarks in Broker, the Homebrew Café is featured in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars at roughly the same spot, but exists as a non-interactive part of Beechwood City's street scenery.
- On the wall of the café, an artwork featuring beta Northwood is shown.
- The front of the restaurant is painted to resemble a Jamaican flag.
- The radio stations Massive B Soundsystem 96.9 and RamJam FM are played in the café.
- There is a Micro Uzi behind the cafe.
- In GTA Chinatown Wars, the pedestrians can be seen getting out and in the café, but however, it stills inaccessible to the player.
- Homebrew is used in gaming to denote the hacking of consoles done for the purpose of playing games on them that normally could not be played on them (e.g. playing Pokemon on a Playstation Vita, or playing PlayStation 1 games on a Nintendo 3DS).
- Homebrew is also a sexual term to denote amateur pornography.
- On the map, it is named 8-Ball due to the fact you can play pool there.

Tour Bus
this wiki
The Brute Tour Bus is a bus featured in Grand Theft Auto: London 1969, Grand Theft Auto: London 1961 and Grand Theft Auto V.
GTA London 1969 — GTA London 1961
The design of the bus is evidently based on that of the Double Decker (albeit slightly wider and shorter), which in turn is based on a Routemaster, but features an open top deck, complete with visible passengers on the seat. Like the Double Decker, the bus is also constantly painted red.
Other its appearance, the Tour Bus' performance is the same as that of the Double Decker, being poorer than that of the Coach in GTA 1, but exactly the same as the Coach in GTA London 1969. Being the one of the heaviest vehicles in the game (the same weight as GTA 1 and GTA London 1969's Coaches and the Double Decker), the bus is predictably slow, with a very poor top speed but average acceleration. The bus also possess below average grip and handling, and average braking. Although game files reveal the bus has a lucrative base export value of £1,000, the Tour Bus cannot be exported due to its large size.
The tour bus returns in Grand Theft Auto V, however, it's design is much different from it's 2D counterpart. The bus is based of the real life LA City Tours Bus. The front of the bus is the same as the Burrito. You can take sightseeing tours of Los Santos by walking up to the bus icon on the map. The bus shares its design with the Rental Shuttle Bus, as both buses are manufactured by Brute.
GTA London 1961 — GTA London 1969
- Seen around in London.
- During day time, the tour bus can always be found near the Oriental Theater in Vinewood Boulevard, Downtown Vinewood. The bus driver will be waiting for passengers and the player can enter his bus to make the tour.
- The bus can be seen around Richman.
- Appears as a part of scripted traffic during the car chase in the mission Father/Son.
- A closed-in version of the bus (the one used in the tour is an open-top) will usually be found parked on Vinewood Boulevard during evening hours when the tour isn't active. This vehicle is unlocked and can be easily stolen.
- When taking a bus tour past the city hall in Grand Theft Auto V, the tour guide will say "You might recognize this building from the twenty minute dogfight to save Earth in the movie Invasion: Los Santos", this is a reference to the 2011 film Battle: Los Angeles.
- The Tour Bus, the Stallion, the Panto, the Stinger and the Z-Type are the only vehicles, aside from emergency and special vehicles, that appered in the 2D Universe and in the HD Universe.
- If you exit the tour, steal a car and follow the Tour Bus, you'll see that it's driving by itself, with no NPC's inside and you can't steal it.

Princess reveals 'testing' time for Queen during Diamond Jubilee
14:01 09 June 2012
A royal Princess has lifted the lid on the Queen's emotions at celebrating her Diamond Jubilee in London without husband the Duke of Edinburgh.
Princess Eugenie was speaking ahead of taking part in a charity bike taking in 50 landmarks in London this evening, in aid of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.
"They are the most incredibly supportive couple to each other. Grandpa was unfortunately taken ill and for granny to come and do that alone was probably quite testing and I think he is her rock, really, and she is his," she said.
Princess Eugenie hailed as an "unbelievable experience" last weekend's Jubilee celebrations in the capital city.
Prince Philip was forced to miss a series of Jubilee events after being taken ill with a bladder infection.
He was discharged from King Edward VII hospital in Papworth, this morning (Saturday).
"To see that many people out there, I'm so amazed by the amount of love and support and gratitude that everyone has for granny.
"I was walking through the garden here the other day and someone came up to me and said 'I'd die for your grandmother, I think she's the most incredible person in the entire world to do what she's done for 60 years', and it makes me so proud.
"The whole thing was just an unbelievable experience that will forever stay with England and me because I got to actually be there and take part."
Television presenter Ben Fogle will join Princess Eugenie on tonight's moonlit bike ride.

By this article an introduction of a highly robust metal track layout especially suitable for high current and temperature applications will be introduced. Starting with the reliability limitations normally observed for wide metal tracks, conclusions regarding the requirements for robust layout techniques will be drawn.
The huge demand for high voltage, high current power devices on Silicon on Chip (SoC) has led to the development of Lateral IGBT (LIGBT), touted as the best candidate to serve these two purposes. This paper is the first to review the research works on LIGBTs published till now. The LIGBTs are categorized into four types based on different technologies applied, mainly Junction Isolation (JI), Silicon On Insulator (SOI), Partial SOI (PSOI) and Membrane, and ten varieties based on their device mechanisms, such as Reverse Conducting, Trench Gate and Super Junction.
This paper presents a simple but effective way to improve an NMOS transistor's ESD robustness for use in I/O pads. Simulation and physical failure analysis has been performed to identify the source of the ESD failure. Process splits have been performed primarily at LDD (Lightly Doped Drain) implant and salicidation process based on data presented in this paper.
An original work in developing technology that allows the integration of multiple vertical power devices within Power ICs has been presented in this manuscript. The developed technology uses a combination of top and back trenches as well as wafer sawing to achieve complete dielectric isolation between the silicon islands. Each silicon island is capable of holding either single vertical power device or CMOS circuitry. The test structures have been manufactured, wafer diced and individual chips packaged and tested initially for mechanical and thermal stability.

Get the Facts
(Myth) Having sex every day will increase our chances of conceiving.
(Truth) Having sex during the most fertile days of a woman's monthly cycle will increase her chances of conceiving, but having sex every day will not.
The highest rates of pregnancy are seen when a couple has intercourse every 1-2 days during the fertile window: usually the six-day interval ending on the day of ovulation25. Generally, ovulation occurs 14 days prior to the next menses (period), so a woman with a 28-day cycle will ovulate around cycle day 14 (that is 14 days after the start of her last menstrual period).
If you want more information on fertility treatment options, you can talk to a fertility specialist.
25. American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Optimizing Natural Fertility, 2012
(Myth) A woman's menstrual cycle begins when she starts spotting.
(Truth) If you're trying to time intercourse, identifying the first day of your reproductive cycle is critical.
Interestingly, a woman's menstrual flow starts on the first day of normal bleeding or full flow, not when spotting begins. Being off by just a day or two can make a big difference.
You can learn more about this by talking to your doctor, fertility specialist or reproductive endocrinologist.
(Myth) I can wait until I'm 40 to conceive.
(Truth) Getting pregnant at any age is not guaranteed.
And as a woman gets older it may become increasingly difficult to conceive, despite what you may have heard. As you make your decision on when to start a family, keep these fertility facts in mind:26
- At 30, a healthy woman has about a 20% chance per month of conceiving;
- By the time a woman reaches 40, her chances drop to about 5% per month.
If you want more information on fertility treatment options, you can talk to a fertility specialist.
26. American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Age and Fertility, 2012, p4
(Myth) We've already had one child, so conceiving again will be easy.
(Truth) There's no guarantee. Each case is different.
Many Americans experience secondary infertility, or have trouble getting pregnant with second or subsequent children. One reason for infertility may be age-related.

default AD attributes available by AD interface
Fri 9 Nov 2007 Leave a comment Go to comments
In a basic setup of MIIS with Active Directory and whatever other data source, (in most cases) one of the first discussions is about which attributes are available by default in the AD management interface.

Behold the ultimate low-calorie food, the celery stick. Many would relegate this simple stalk to rabbits and rabid dieters, but that would be a mistake. In addition to being one of nature's lowest-calorie foods at about five calories a stem, it packs a ton of nutrition (check out its nutrient contents). It's also thought that certain phytochemicals, called phthalides (what are these?), found in celery may relax muscle tissue in artery walls, increase blood flow and thereby help lower blood pressure. Read on to discover other surprisingly low-cal foods that offer big nutritional payoffs, based on information from The Men's Health Big Book of Food & Nutrition (shop for it).
