Review Content
The Batman: Arkham Asylum is an action packed game in the third person perspective.
The Batman: Arkham Asylum is about Joker's plan to create chaos in Gotham City by collaborating with other anti-Batman in the Arkham Asylum. Needless to say, Batman once again uses his weapons, detective skills, stealth and combat skills to overcome his enemies. The Game of the Year version basically runs along the same plot but the new package includes two pairs of glasses which can be used for 3D on any TV set and 4 all-new challenge courses.
One definite accomplishment that this game can brag about is they now hold the Guinness world record for the title "most critically acclaimed superhero game ever." Spike also gave them the Video Game Award. The game's achievements also include: from Game Rankings, a 93% score for Batman: Arkham Asylum; Game Informer, a 9.5 out of 10 score; and Game Spy also critiqued the game with a perfect 5-star score. As a whole, game critics advise consumers to play this worthy game.
The game is all about using Batman's skills to combat enemies and figure out problems to overcome challenges. The players control Batman's every single move – escaping, hiding, gliding with the aid of the cape, crouching, jumping, and running are all controlled by the player. In the asylum, Joker manages to escape and along with other prisoners who were in the asylum too. They all agreed to Joker's evil plan of destroying Gotham City. You're probably thinking the plot sounds basically the typical Batman story standard. Not quite. Expect some twists to an adventure of a lifetime.
Suffice to say that this Batman is a fairly adult title. It's not your simple cartoon. Arkham is a dark and dingy area inhabited by lunatics and psychopaths that tear buildings apart. Expect a lot of slaying and murdered bodies strewn all over. It may even surprise you to see Harley with a skimpy outfit that shows off some lady parts or Poison Ivy's painted-on panties.
All these adult themes are attached to a very Batman-looking world that connects you to the story. Trust me, the most cerebral parts of the games are so apparent in many segments; moments that can really make you feel like you're truly Batman on the longest night of his life.
There are three important moves that Batman has to employ when faced with an enemy. He can either engage in hand-to-hand counter moves, stun, or attack the enemy. Don't ever underestimate the enemies because they posses different attack styles and are very skilled enemies when it comes to toppling down an opponent. You can acquire weapons in the game world; among the most common is the Batarang, which is an explosive sprayer with a detonator, and which you can also use as a grappling gun.
There are about 240 Riddler challenges in the game, which is really the driving motivation for the quest. Beyond these word problems you also have to find trophies that Riddler has tucked away in the asylum, and visual puzzles that you can only solve through the Detective Mode. This can be time consuming – it actually took me nine hours to finish, but it was pretty awesome. The Riddler test is essential to level up your skills, which can be very useful for future encounters. Not to worry, the Riddler also provides clues to unlock some of the challenges; thus you gain points.
When it comes to visual fidelity, Batman: Arkham Asylum is impeccable. The locale has just the right mix of the creepy and cool. The fact that it is able to depict a damaged Batman face and suit so well is truly something. Be warned though, there are still some screen tearing as CGI stuff tend to pixelize in some parts and the in-game cutscenes can really look terrible where guards with bug eyes look so grotesque; and there are a few shoddy lip synching as well. They're not really that big a deal, but the issues are there and they can hurt the overall presentation. In spite of this, the sound effects and the visual effects are quite superb. The former really seems so realistic and full of emotions, while the latter is so vivid.
If you are a video game addict, be sure you have one of the generation's best comic video game ever: Batman: Arkham Asylum (Game of the Year Edition). When you purchase your pack, you also get 3D glasses, which is a must to make the game more thrilling and astounding in every detail; and the all new challenge maps, which, as the name implies are your keys to more challenges in the game.

The Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) yesterday warned ex-government officials against conmen posing, as PCCB officers under the pretext of assisting them to escape from corruption charges.
The conmen are reportedly targeting civil servants implicated by the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) report over corruption and abuse of office.
"We would like to inform Tanzanians that PCCB works under an organised system and its officers can be identified by their job IDs. Whoever approached by the Bureau's officials should demand to see an ID before interrogation," said PCCB in a press statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Doreen Kapwani.
She said that conmen have been providing false information to some ex-government executives that the PCCB has started to investigate them concerning corruption scandals with the intention of taking bribe from them.
Kapwani said that in to build trust to the executives, the conmen reportedly take some executives near the PCCB headquarters building and leave them inside the car, as they enter PCCB offices and ask for services like any other Tanzanian.
"Once outside our offices, they simply cheat the suspects that investigations were going on and they were likely to be spared from legal action," she said.
Kapwani called upon Tanzanians to inform them as soon as possible whenever they come across such people. She stressed that not every person who enters the PCCB building is an employee of the Agency.
She said though the war against corruption is for every Tanzanian, its only PCCB that has the mandate of investigating corruption allegations according to the PCCB Act.
Recently, PCCB director-general Dr Edward Hosea told 'The Guardian' that they were investigating ministers and government executives implicated by the CAG report in corruption.
He said that interrogation of the government officials have already started and is continuing. However, he refused to disclose the ministers and executives interrogated, stressing that all those who were implicated in the CAG report would be investigated.
In the recently announced cabinet, President Jakaya Kikwete left out six cabinet ministers and two deputy ministers, accused of mishandling their dockets, including corruption and possessing posh houses among other allegations.
Those who lost the president's confidence are minister for Finance Mustafa Mkullo who has been replaced by a new face, Dr William Mgimwa, William Ngeleja, who has been replaced by a new appointee, Prof Sospeter Muhongo, and minister for Transport, Omari Nundu, who has been replaced by Dr Harrison Mwakyembe, who has been promoted from the ministry of Works where he was a deputy minister.
Other ministers who were dropped include Ezekiel Maige, former Natural Resources and Tourism minister, whose portfolio has been filled in by former deputy minister for Home Affairs, Khamis Kagasheki.
Industry and Trade minister Cyril Chami, has been replaced by Dr Abdallah Kigoda, while Dr Hussein Mwinyi has been named the new minister for Health and Social Welfare replacing Haji Mponda.

Grouped Set Functions - the GROUP BY Clause
Normally, set functions return a single value, calculated from the set of all values in the column or expression.
If the SELECT statement includes a GROUP BY clause, set functions will be applied to groups of values. Columns used for GROUP BY do not have to be included in the SELECT list.
Find the number of rows in each category within the FORMATS table:SELECT category_id, COUNT(display_order) FROM formats GROUP BY category_id;
Restrictions when Using GROUP BY
Using a GROUP BY clause places some restrictions on the SELECT statement. Only constants, columns used in the GROUP BY clause, and columns used in set functions may be included in the SELECT list.
Column References
In a statement with column references in the SELECT list, all columns not used in set functions must be used as grouping columns.
Null Values
For grouping purposes, NULL values are regarded as equivalent. Thus for the example table:
The following statement:SELECT sample, COUNT(*) as number ... GROUP BY sample;

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (www.incnow.tv) – More than a dozen people are injured after a gas explosion that sent an entire block of Kansas City ablaze Tuesday evening.
Two people are still missing Wednesday morning. Search teams continue sifting through the smoldering wreckage. Fire crews are using cadaver dogs to help aid in their search.
A process that Kansas City fire officials say may take several more hours. At the site of the explosion, a restaurant, crews could not account for two people. It's unknown if they were caught in the fire or had left earlier.
Chief Paul Beradi said, "I would always fear that there are fatalities in a situation like this. When we got to the scene we had a fully involved restaurant that had patrons, probably several patrons inside at the time of the incident, and that's why we are searching as we are."
The cause of the blast is under investigation, but witnesses have reported smelling natural gas hours before the explosion.

|Appears in

|Team Info
The Second Division (第二部隊, Daini Butai, Viz: Second Company), also known as the Short-Range Battle Division (戦闘近距離部隊, Sentō Kinkyori Butai) is a battalion in the Allied Shinobi Forces led by Kitsuchi of Iwagakure, formed in preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Upon its formation, the Second Division is mobilised to the the northern edge of the Land of Lightning's peninsula. When the Intelligence Division detects the White Zetsu Army moving underground, the Second Division is ordered to intercept them. The Division, with some reinforcements from the Fifth Division, sets up position and waits for the enemy forces to come near. Once the Zetsu are in range, Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi unearth thousands of Zetsu, which the Allies then barrage with attacks.[1]
Because of the Zetsu's durability and their ability to drain the Division member's chakra, the battle soon becomes one of attrition. Headquarters eventually informs them that thousands of additional Zetsu have slipped by underground.[2] Headquarters soon contacts them again with new orders: to assist the First Division by attacking their enemies from behind. Kitsuchi leads part of his Division to the First Division's location, leaving the rest behind to deal with the remaining Zetsu.[3]
As night falls, Tobi appears on the battlefield and summons the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. As the statue rampages on the field, Kitsuchi tries to stop it by using Earth Release: Sandwich Technique, however it failed and the statue continues on with its rampaging. Tobi then escapes with the Benihisago and the Kohaku no Jōhei, as well as the statue. As night falls the forces fell back.
In Kitsuchi's absence, the Second Division sets up a defensive line around the Logistical Support and Medical Division's station. As night falls and there is a lull in attacks from the opposing side, tired and injured shinobi are moved to the medical compound to recuperate.
There were some members of White Zetsu Army that infiltrated their ranks, but thanks to Naruto Uzumaki's ability to sense negative emotions, they managed to identify and defeat some of them.
From later reports at headquarters, the Second Division was able to successfully annihilate their opponents and were instructed to assist Naruto and Killer B once they were finished.

Cistem Aperio
- Riddle: "Stand aside, Hagrid!"
- Hagrid: "No!"
- Riddle: "Cistem aperio!"
- — Riddle's use of the spell[src]
Cistem Aperio is the incantation for a charm that is used to open chests. Being more specific that Alohamora may increase its potency against a warded target of the appropriate kind. It may be related to Annihilare, Dunamis, Emancipare, and Liberare.
Known uses
- Tom Riddle used this spell to blast open the chest in which Aragog, the pet-acromantula of Rubeus Hagrid, lived in during its time at Hogwarts Castle.
Aperio is Latin for open, uncover, to uncover, lay bare, reveal, or make clear, the source of the English "appear". Cistem is a corruption of cistam, a form of the Latin word for 'chest'.
Behind the scenes
- This spell does not appear in the books.
- Severus Snape may have used this spell to open Alastor Moody's trunk in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film) (First appearance)

Program Options
- Music Education — Our music education program is designed to prepare students to become passionate and innovative educators who lead, engage, and mentor students. The faculty's own passion for learning and teaching music pushes students to develop the gifts that God has given them to be teachers and musicians. Music education students may choose to specialize in elementary music or in leading high school band or choir departments, or anything in between.
- Performance and Pedagogy — Our music performance and pedagogy program prepares students for careers in performance and for teaching in a specific performing area (voice, piano, organ, or other instruments). A student's individual performance skills are honed through the many opportunities available for accompanying and participating in large ensembles and collaborative chamber music performances, as well as solo recitals. Many of our students are able to practice teaching in their specific field because area families often ask Dordt student musicians to give private music lessons to their children.
- Music Management — In our music management program, students gain insight and experience in business. Their classes, accompanied by internship possibilities, help students grow in their understanding of and ability to communicate about music. The music management program equips students with interpersonal skills and leadership skills, as well as the knowledge that is essential for management positions within professional music organizations.
- Church Music — Our church music major prepares students by developing their God-given talents for servant leadership in churches as organists, pianists, or directors of ensembles. Church music students gain first-hand experience by working with local congregations and internships.
- General Music — For the student possessing a general passion for music and the desire for an open-ended music degree, our general music program is a perfect fit. Through the general music program students will gain a broad education in the history, theory, composition, and performance of music. Ample opportunities are available for growth in knowledge and appreciation of music.
- Performance Minor — Our music performance minor is an excellent avenue for students wanting to pursue a non-music major like computer science or digital media production while still achieving high performance levels. Students gain musical insight and skills applicable in churches and other venues through music classes and participation in campus ensembles, in addition to a professional solo recital. This minor will help you grow as a musical servant who gives your talents for God's glory.
- General Music Minor — If you have a love for music but do not want to major in it, our general music minor is a good option. The general music minor allows students to learn more about music and its history and theory, and it provides the opportunity to cultivate God-given talents outside the more rigorous music major.

I really love your map.
I'm sure that your players love it too. The colors you've used make it easy to read and resting to the eye.
I look at it and I just want to play on your world.
Great job and welcome to the guild,
My first post. I've been running games in the same campaign world for over twenty five years. There have been many versions of this map, but I've posted the latest incarnation.

Great job and welcome to the guild,
Let my fangs find your neck, during the night, so that I can drink your knowledge ...
So it could be use here : www.l-hazard.com
First of all, welcome to the Guild, quindia. So nice to have you here. If you feel inclined, we'd love you to introduce yourself in the member introduction forums!
This map is very, very nice, quindia. You nailed the Tolkien look exceedingly well, from color palette to symbols to font choice, and most everything in between! I am especially fond of those mountains--did you create them from hand or copy/edit them from a Middle Earth detail? They look just great. What program did you use to create this?
Well, once again thanks for posting, and welcome to the Guild!!
My gallery is here

Welcome to the guild, quindia! That is one heck of a beautiful map! I love the grunged up paper texture...it gives it a real richness.
Lovely stuff...and as Don said - please do tell us a little more about yourself and your interests in the introduction section!
Welcome, and I agree, a very lovely, lovely map.

Great map Quindia, I had almost forgotten about you. I dropped by your site several years ago and had exchanged emails.
For the rest of you in the guild, you can check out the evolution of the map through several versions at http://www.quindia.com/where.html (bottom right links). I always found it fascinating to see drawings first done in elementary or middle school change over time and several iterations into the incredible work of art that the Quindia map is now.
Although the site hasn't been updated in awhile, I hope Quindia you add the 2008 version to the listing of maps. You just keep getting better and better.
I also hope you put up more city maps (and possibly locale maps) like Crowyn (at http://www.quindia.com/crowynmap.html --reminds me somewhat of Harn city maps). Thanks again and welcome to the guild.

Twenty-eight years of work on a map... That kind of crazy is inspiring.
Last edited by rlucci; 02-25-2008 at 01:09 AM.
Thanks, folks!
The map was created in CorelDraw and the textures added in CorelPaint. The best thing about this map is that it is a vector file and 100% editable and scalable. When boundaries change during the course of the campaign (as you'll see if you follow Bax's links) I can change things at will.
The style of the line art is based off the original Tolkien maps, but the colors are inspired by the more modern map designed for the movie. I actually have a version on a plain white background with bright red text that mimics the old school map.
Although created completely in the computer, I tried to achieve a hand drawn look. The mountains are vector images, but each one is rendered individually, as are the hills, trees, etc. They are all drawn with a Wacom tablet using a stylus.
Each feature - mountains, hills, forests, text, etc. - is on a separate layer so I can edit each one without having to work around the others. As an unforseen bonus due to the way the map was constructed, I now have a virtual library of custom "clipart" I can use to duplicate this look in a fraction of the time it took to create it in the first place. There is another continent that I have run games in and it will be rendered in the same style.
I do indeed plan to update the website for 4e. It has been years since I touched it, but I am actually planning to completely redesign it which of course means more maps.
I'll head over to the intro section to add a little more. Thanks for the welcome and if I can answer any specific questions about the map, I'll be happy to.

Welcome Quindia. I love the map. The look is really cool. Its kinda Pete Fenlon meets grunge but everything is clearly set out and informative, not to mention artistic and eye-catching. My favourite aspect of the map however is that its a sort of chart of the history of gaming. You've worked on its so long that the landmarks are often landmarks in gaming history, that bring back some great memories. Its clear how you've managed to incorporate some famous products and flagship adventures as well as literary favouritesinto your own campaign world.
Places like White Plume Mountain, Dearthwood, Marzabul, the Borderlands and Charn come to mind. I love the map because its not sterile and contrived, its testimony to many hours of great gaming.
Well done.
The internet! It\'ll never catch on.
Software Used: Terranoise, Wilbur, Terragen, The Gimp, Inkscape, Mojoworld
I've designed lots of different game worlds because I love drawing maps (hence the reason I joined the forum), but I always keep coming back to Quindia. Some of the places have names that a goofy ten year old would come up with (the city of Frodo), but I can't bear to change them now.
Some of the iconic additions came during the years when I dropped a ready made adventure into a game and they stayed part of the campaign world. Others names, like Haven, have been used in many different worlds. A few others are purposely generic (the Black Forest) to invoke a nostalgic sense of mystery such a place would have held when I first started playing D&D.
The overall effect is that the world has a familiar feel even for people who see it for the first time. The games I've run over the years have shaped the world (the fifth ring was once whole, Ram's Wall was built by a player, Gornath was once the capitol of an empire).
I'll post some of my other maps here soon, but none have the history of the Realm of Quindia.

Literacy & English as a Second Language
Harris County Public Library
Our literacy and English as a second language programs help adults with the basic reading and writing and/or spoken English skills they need to reach work, family and personal goals. Our branches provide a place where tutors and students from a variety of cultural and educational backgrounds can meet to share what they have learned.
The basic literacy program is designed for adults who speak English fluently and read at a fifth-grade level or below. Students and volunteer tutors meet one-on-one at most branch libraries to work in books provided by the library or on reading and writing skills students would like to apply in their own lives.
English as a Second Language
English as a second language tutors and students usually meet in groups of two to eight. As in the adult literacy program, meetings can take place in the daytime or evening at any location convenient for students and tutors. It is not necessary for tutors to be able to speak another language. The library provides materials and training to enable tutors and students to practice reading, writing and speaking the types of words and phrases they are likely to need daily.
To register for a training session above, or for more information, please call the library or contact the literacy coordinator by email or phone at 713-274-6600.
Please contact your local branch for program availability.

Have you ever wanted to just slap a spoiled rotten whiny rich kid? Frank takes it a step farther. In "God Bless America" Frank has been told that he has only a few months to live, he lost his job, he is divorced and his kid doesn't want to see him. Frank decides to kill himself. But while watching television he sees a spoiled rotten rich kid complaining that the car she got for graduation was the wrong car. So Frank finds her and shoots her dead. Roxy, a 16 year old girl, sees Frank do this and convinces Frank to take her with him and go find others who are also deserving of death. They have long conversations of just who those people are, one group is people who high five. Frank teaches Roxy how to shoot and in response to his praise she quips she just pretended the targets were members of Glee. Frank and Roxy go on a Bonnie and Clyde shooting spree, Roxy even buys hats for both of them so Frank can look like a gangster and she looks like Patty Hearst. I found this movie entertaining but it's not for those who are easily offended.

QUIET LAKES VISIONING SESSION July 2006: THE DNR REPORT of the July 2006 VISIONING SESSION for the Quiet lakes, Teal Lake and Lost land Lake, is now available. This session was held for all interested parties, "local stakeholders," with fishing interests from property owners, businesses like ours, fishing guides and any others giving input to the DNR on their hopes for the future of these lakes.
We are delighted to report that it was a great meeting, and well balanced in the opinions offered, and the conclusions drawn. Walleye actually received a higher "INTEREST" mark than musky – but only just. Black crappie was a close third. While bass (both largemouth and smallmouth) are popular, northern pike are fun, and yellow perch are plentiful, these were of lesser future interest. SIZE over NUMBER, however, was of little interest. The emphasis was on balance. There was also some new terminology, in which the words "MEMORABLE-SIZE" received greater emphasis than "TROPHY-SIZE." We are delighted, and will eagerly anticipate, the management plan that the DNR implements to achieve this vision. It was said years ago, by Pete Maina, that Teal may not produce many trophy fish but that your chances of catching a nice fish, now defined as "memorable-size", are as good on Teal Lake as anywhere. Our splendid 2006 Musky List (elsewhere on this web page for the Lodge) certainly brings this home to us. We are pleased with the recent past history, we are pleased with the present visioning, and we expect to be pleased with the future plan. The DNR report speculates that this will probably entail changes in regulations over size for musky, and may entail changes in the live bait/methods for musky. For walleye, it will probably continue to be that Lost Land has fewer but larger walleye, while Teal has more but smaller walleye – it has ever been such because the walleye breed more prolifically in Teal. It may entail reduced harvest on crappie. But this is all their speculation on their future management plan. However, at this time, there is little that we or you can do, except….. (i) be very careful and vigilant to avoid the introduction of non-native species, in both fish and plants, especially the invasive. Other sources are recommending high pressure washing before launching boats from other lakes. (ii) be very careful about the management of the buffer strips. Actually, this Lodge is so well within the established shoreland guidelines, we are proud to maintain it.

FORT COLLINS — Voters Tuesday night passed an ordinance allowing medical marijuana businesses to operate in the city of Fort Collins, one year after they voted for the ban.
Last year's vote closed down 21 medical marijuana establishments after opponents said they contributed to increased drug use, especially among the city's young people.
But proponents argued last fall's vote didn't truly reflect the wishes of most residents, so they pushed for the new ordinance.
Kirk Scramstad, who organized the petition drive to put the measure on this year's ballot, told the Fort Collins Coloradoan that a higher turnout helped the pro-medical marijuana cause.

"We can clearly see with the presidential election and a larger turnout and a larger demographic that the community is on our side," Scramstad said.
Medical marijuana critic and former Mayor Ray Martinez said the passage of Amendment 64 — which allows the sale of small amounts of marijuana to anyone — basically negates the need for medical pot in Fort Collins and renders Tuesday's vote meaningless.
Still, Martinez said he was disappointed with outcome.
"Well, at least Cheetos sales will go up and I suppose that's good for business," he said.
"Colorado now allows the sale of pot and that means the whole state has gone to pot," Martinez added.

|Federal Republic of Germany
Bundesrepublik Deutschland (German)
|Official language(s)
Germany (in German: Deutschland) is a country in Europe. Its capital and largest city is Berlin. The country uses the USK rating system to rate all Grand Theft Auto releases, with the majority of the series being rated USK 16+.
Since Germany is quite strict on ratings, after paranoia over violent video games, a number of the GTA games (since GTA III) have suffered cuts or edits. Some examples include: the removal of blood, pedestrians no longer dropping money when killed, no headshots, some missions removed, some weapons missing or lack additional functionality.
References in Grand Theft Auto
- The song "99 Luftballons", by German New Wave group Nena, which features on Wave 103, is performed in in their native language. The title translates to "99 Balloons" although the English version of the song is called "99 Red Balloons".
- The car Admiral has a German background.
- Hans Oberlander, a character from GTA San Andreas, is from Germany.
- Reni Wassulmaier, a character from GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories, is from Germany.
- The Fleisch Berg, a brewery in Flint County, translates to "Meat Mountain" in German.
- The vehicle manufacturer Ubermacht, which makes the Oracle and Sentinel luxury cars and Rebla SUV, comes from Germany.
- The clothing brand Hinterland's name is german for "outback"
- There's a street in Algonquin called Ersatz Row, Ersatz is German for substitute.
- The fictional beer brand Pißwasser, which is seen in GTA IV is labeled "cheap german lager , for export only"
- Several pedestrians in GTA IV can be heard saying German phrases like "Scheiße!" (Shit!), "Entschuldigung" (Excuse me), "Er hat eine Waffe" (He has a gun), "Er will mich töten" (He wants to kill me), "Was wollen Sie von mir" (What do you want?), and "Gehen Sie!" (Go Away!).
- Adolf Hitler is mentioned in cutscene of GTA San Andreas mission Verdant Meadows, where Mike Toreno reads a history book and says Hitler never killed himself.
- Hellenbach, the vehicle from GTA Chinatown Wars is German for "bright creek".
- Kent Paul mentioned the German city Hamburg in the mission Vertical Bird, which he says : You shouldn't be choking the gecko in the first place! Remember what happened at that gig in Hamburg?!
- Benefactor, producers of the Schafter, Serrano and Feltzer, is a German automaker.
- Pfister, responsible for the Comet, is a German automobile manufacturer.
- Vulcar, responsible for the Camper and Ingot, is a German Automaker. If truly reflective of real-life, there would be a Vulcar Group which would own Enus and Pegassi.
- Doctor Zel, a character from GTA London 1969 is from Germany.

This place is more than a restaurant. It's a connection right back to the immigrants who first settled in Ybor City and Tampa. But how did the Columbia Restaurant get its famous name?
Why do they call it the Columbia Restaurant?
Come on in and they'll whip you up a Cuban classic -- just like their great, great, great, grandma used to make.
Let's head back to 1905. Casimiro Hernandez, Sr. had been in America just a couple of years.
He went into business. His target? The empty stomachs of immigrants.
"A small corner cafe serving Cuban coffee, Cuban sandwiches, other classic dishes like ropa vieja -- the comfort foods that people knew from their homeland," explained Andrea Gonzmart.
"He fit that need for those cigar rollers. And that made them feel like they were at home in Ybor City."
Gonzmart may know this place better than her home.
She's the fifth generation of her family with a hand in this iconic Ybor City eatery.
The original Columbia Cafe covered just a few hundred square feet. It still survives today, almost perfectly intact, as the restaurant's bar area.
Things have changed. The restaurant now covers an entire city block. It goes on through 15 dining rooms with seats for 1,700.
"My great-grandfather, you know, there was days that we made no money. And he said he would -- he was gonna close the restaurant," Gonzmart said.
"But then great friends, great patrons, kinda always pushed him through it and said, 'You can't close the Columbia Restaurant. People -- you know, we count on the Columbia Restaurant being there.'"
"A lot of people get confused, they say, 'Oh, Colombia! Oh, you have Colombian food.' It's Columbia -- C-o-l-u-m-b-i-a," Gonzmart said.
Columbia is an old, old wooden ship. In fact, it was the first American ship to sail around the world.
Legend has it, the restaurant's founders wanted to honor their new country. And at the time, Columbia was a common nickname for the United States.
It's also in the title of a patriotic song popular back then called Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean.
Why do they call it that? Now you know.
Sunday, September 18th, 2011 is "1905 Day" at all of the Columbia's restaurant locations. From noon to 7 p.m., prices are cut back to what they were years ago.
The delicious 1905 Salad is $1.95, and Sangria is less than a dollar.
Locations taking part are Ybor City in Tampa, Sarasota, St. Augustine, The Pier in St. Petersburg, Sand Key on Clearwater Beach, and Celebration.
The Columbia Cafe at the Tampa Bay History Center will not offer the discounted prices, but will be open for business that day.
We feature new "Why do they call it that?" stories each Wednesday on 10 News at 5 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Check out previous editions of the Emmy-nominated series at our "Why do they call it that?" website: wtsp.com/callitthat.

Now I am going to say here that this person has been incredibly rude in the chat-blatant open flaming and trolling that I do not need to repeat.
It doesn't matter if I'm the target or if I see someone else just raging at another individual in chat-if I see you do it, you better be prepared for consequences. If you report bad behavior in game and provide evidence (simple screen shot will do) we will investigate and take disciplinary action if needed.
When you log into Alteil, you have already agreed to a user agreement which you are expected to follow. This includes taking responsibility for the behavior displayed on your account. BTW simply "disagreeing" with someone is not enough to justify any kind of disciplinary action. If the person in question is claiming this, he is misrepresenting the truth.
I would firstly like to point out that the person you banned from the forums has made NO complaints about the issue AT ALL. Please put your rage face away you hypocrite.
I would secondly like to point out that serious trolling from chat has been pointed out on a number of occasions. You are aware of this. Chat behaviour has never been cause of forum bans. You can find examples of people posting that stuff in forums, and the person being attacked gets the warning not the aggressor from chat. Again, hypocritical behaviour.
It was a third party that brought this to my attention through general conversation. They were present at the time, though not involved. They felt your ban was not only out of character, but showed a certain lack of character. I understand you were upset. Let us all recognise something here rom - you personally, can NOT stand criticism. Sadly, your fears create situations where you will be. Like this one.
I put it to the general community, as well as the GM's:
Why is it possible to get this ban in this game that you get in no other game - and only when you insult Rom personally? Why are the rest of us not covered by this rule?
Or is this just another case of someone abusing their "power." I would like to point out that Rom actually threatened to gun this person down and was very emotional at the time. Is it OK to threaten people in chat? Disagreeing with someone's view is one thing, but actually threatening someone (with gun violence) and then banning them? I find this behaviour abhorrent. I would be seeking an apology from Romdeau if I were him.
Abuse of power and hissy fits. They are what they are.

Big chinese buffets opening in Elkhart County
Check out this week's Quick Bites.
I don't go to Chinese buffets much, in part because I eat too much when I do.
And that isn't getting easier as the size of the new buffets seems to be expanding.
China Buffet in Goshen moved down the road to a new location at 2008 Lincolnway East with around 200 items on the buffet and seats for more than 300 people. And now it's called Supreme China Buffet.
The buffet in the former Ponderosa at 3535 S. Main St., Elkhart, is now called Super Buffet, has at least five buffet tables and lots of items. It is operated by the same family as King's Buffet, though I'm not sure if that's one of the previous buffets at that location or another.
Like I said, I don't go to Chinese buffets much.
But people love buffets. Not everyone, of course, but a lot of people.
You walk in. You don't even have to sit down before you start getting your food. Someone cooked at a lot of food for you. If the steam tables are cranked high enough, the food is even hot.
There's comfort in that. And you get to choose what you eat.
There is healthy food on a Chinese buffet — sauteed vegetables, salad and seafood. But how many of us load up our plates with that stuff first when the pans of fried food are there glistening under the lights?
I like fried food. And I come from a line of people who salt their food before tasting it. So going to a place where someone has not only fried one thing for me, but many, can be dangerous.
I like that the Goshen buffet has a decent sushi bar. And the hibachi bar allows you to compile a plate of meat and vegetables that they saute while you wait, though the one time I got it there it got a bit more sauce than I hoped.
So on those rare occasions when I find myself at a buffet, what do I want?
Ÿ I want broccoli that's still green. I don't want the vegetables to have been sauteed until they're gray. That's tough when food stays on a steam table. Food isn't designed to stay on a steam table for a long period of time.
Ÿ I want the operators to be able to say definitively whether they use MSG. When I asked at Supreme China Buffet, I couldn't get a very explicit answer. I know someone who simply feels bad after eating MSG, so going somewhere where they can't tell you for sure carries risk for her.
Ÿ I want meat that's not tough or dry. That's hard to accomplish when the cuts are cheap and the food stays on a steam table.
Ÿ I want interesting options. That may include three kinds of Jell-O. It may include pineapple chicken or honey chicken. It does not include pizza, roast beef or Nutty Bars. (Super Buffet had Nutty Bars on the dessert portion. I love Nutty Bars. But when you take them out the wrapper and put them on a buffet, they get stale. Stale Nutty Bars are not good Nutty Bars.)
Ÿ I want to see "old" food leave the steam table rather than having a fresh batch dumped in with it and mixed together.
Both buffets offer inexpensive food and a lot of it. The Goshen buffet is $6.53 before tax at lunch and $9.34 at dinner. The Dunlap buffet is $5.99 plus tax at lunch and $8.99 plus tax at dinner.
Both of them are putting fresh food on the buffet throughout meal times, but some of the meat was tough. And the flavors don't pop the way they do at some of our local Asian restaurants.
I get it. It's what people want. And sometimes, that's fine. But I won't go too often to a buffet. It's just not good for me.
I'm hungry. Let's eat.

Pretty nice job here with nice mountains. Some comments though :
- The compass looks a bit odd since you scaled down three arrows and so it doesn't look consistent in the oultines with the north arrow.
- It seems you have many rivers that have sources in low lands
- Some rhumblines overlap the landmass and need to be erased :p

Your protection over earth and the other realms that Aasgard overlooks will be much appreciated by earthlings and your fellow Avengers members.

Thor is the God of Thunder and has super powerful abilities that the people of earth cannot even fathom. Thor's brother Loki is his main rival and he often finds himself pitted against him in dangerous situations. As the ruler of Aasgard after his father Odin, Thor must learn the responsibilities entrusted upon him. He can be brash and arrogant and rude, but he has a good nature and knows that he must be present whenever danger rears its head. Add a Thor wig to your costume in order to look just like this god.

Female Condoms
Topic Overview
What is a female condom?
Condoms can protect you against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and they can be used to prevent pregnancy.
The female condom is a tube of soft plastic (polyurethane) that has a closed end. Each end has a ring or rim. The ring at the closed end is inserted deep into the woman's vagina over the cervix, like a diaphragm, to hold the tube in place. The ring at the open end remains outside the opening of the vagina.
The female condom is a barrier method of birth control.
How do you get female condoms?
Female condom use doesn't require a prescription or a visit to a health professional. Condoms are sold in drugstores and family planning clinics.
How well do female condoms work to prevent pregnancy?
If used perfectly, the method failure rate for the female condom is 5%, meaning that with perfect use, 5 women out of 100 will become pregnant in the first year of use. With typical use, 21 women in 100 will become pregnant in the first year of use.1 This is mostly caused by not using the condom every time with intercourse or by not following the directions for use.
How well do they work to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs)?
The female condom provides some protection of the genital area around the opening to the vagina during intercourse. And it may reduce the risk of getting or transmitting diseases such as genital herpes or genital warts. Some studies suggest that female condoms are as effective as male condoms in preventing STIs.2
How do you use a female condom?
The female condom can be inserted up to 8 hours before sexual intercourse. It contains lubricant on the inside. It shouldn't be used with a male condom.
The female condom should be removed immediately after intercourse, while the woman is still lying down. The outside ring is twisted to close off the condom and hold the semen inside before the condom is removed.
A new condom should be used with each act of sexual intercourse.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of female condoms?
The female condom:
- Doesn't affect future fertility for either the woman or the man.
- Is used only at the time of sexual intercourse.
- Is safe to use while breast-feeding.
- Is safe to use if you have a medical condition that limits your choices of other birth control methods.
- Is available in drugstores without a prescription.
- Provides some protection against STIs.
- Keeps semen from touching the woman's vagina. A few women are allergic to their partner's semen.
- Failure rates for barrier methods are higher than for most other methods of birth control.
- Female condoms are more difficult to use than male condoms.
- Some people are embarrassed to use this method or feel it interrupts foreplay or intercourse.
- The couple must be comfortable with using the condom and be prepared to use it every time they have sex.
- Condoms may decrease sexual sensation.
If a condom tears, emergency contraception is available as an extra method of birth control.
