[eSerbia in eUK] Remember, remember the fifth of November
Day 1,811, 01:12 • Published in United Kingdom • by
I think that it was Ross Perot who said once: "Wars have rules, mud wrestling has rules; politics has no rules." which is a perfect introduction into these days around the fifth of every month. A year ago I published another article (which was mostly in English) with the same title, inspired by our ever evolving eRepublik politics, you can check it out here.
Anyway, eSerbia, like the rest of this e-world, will elect its new president on 5th November. Most of the presidential candidates have published their articles explaining their manifestos, programmes and teams they would bring in to their new administration.
Three political coalitions and their prospective candidates have a chance of securing victory, so I emailed presidential candidates asking them the same questions: their view of eSerbia's foreign policy and how they see eUK. I am presenting their answers to you in the order their replies reached my inbox.
Mikovic Dragan comes from a small party but his candidature was supported by almost all parties that participate in the current eSerbian Government. That is why it can be said that this coalition is pro-government one and his proposed cabinet is almost identical to the one in power now. Most prominent members of this coalition are United eSerbia, Together and Serbian Patriotic League.
This is what he replied:
Foreign Policy
"In case that I win, I would position our foreign policy to strengthen our relationships with the current allies: eHungary, eSlovenia, eMacedonia, ePoland, eSpain, eUK... I would try get at least two more decisive "members" but, this is something for the future.
I strongly believe we would need a regulated alliance - to be quite clear about the support, duties, obligations, how this alliance would work so that all of us are on the same page. I would not stand silent if an alliance member did not follow jointly agreed rules. It is about time that we know definitely who is with us and who is not."
"eUK is one of the countries that has a special place with me and I am sorry that is currently unable to take more resources. However, having in mind their previous position when they were totally occupied, their situation is far better now. Nevertheless, the eUK deserves more and I hope we will resolve that in a positive manner shortly
Furija.BRE leads one of the opposition coalitions, led by the Action Movement. Apart this party, all others are fairly small. However, his campaign is very active and based around the proposed unity of all political streams, an idea that can attract a number of undecided voters.
This is what he replied:
"There is something about foreign policy in my latest article, the rest I can tell you after the elections as it is a secret."
I went through his two latest articles and found the following views: he noted down that the main aim of his foreign policy is to secure allied support and have an active diplomacy so eSerbia gets and keeps 10/10 resources.
Vladislav Milanovic 83 leads another big opposition coalition and apart from his Democratic Party of Srpska, the most prominent members of this coalition is the Common Sense Party, the biggest party in eSerbia. Having in mind that other ten other parties support his candidacy, this makes him a serious contender for the presidential role.
Although Vladislav confirmed that he would get back to me with his replies he did not do it as he must be very busy organising his team and getting ready for the elections. I checked his presidential bid articles but could not find specific views on foreign policy so most likely he will publish more later today.
Although these three main candidates did not answer completely to the questions I asked, I would not expect that eSerbia's foreign policy goes through a major change, no matter who wins. Sometimes, a lack of answer is an answer for itself so I am hopeful that my fellow e-countrymen will vote wisely tomorrow, but, one can never know...
So, "Remember, remember the fifth of November" (hopefully without gunpowder treason and plot!) and use your right to vote wherever you are and participate in shaping your country's future.
Sincerely yours,
Ambassador of eSerbia to the eUK

Coaches preparing for the start of practices, sometimes two 4-hour meetings a day. Very cool to get an inside look. I think sometimes when discussing how well the coaches are doing we assume that if something goes wrong it's because they haven't thought something through completely, but they clearly put in a LOT of preparation.
Sounds like everyone is chomping at the bit to get this season underway in Schembechler Hall just like everyone is here.
Also a mention of improved tackling mechanics being on the agenda in fall practices.

I actually found the move above the boulder problem start above the roof to be the rp crux. Probably just the pump talking as I was fresher for the start.
Oh and I start a little left of the first clip on two well chalked horizontal cracks and go right and pretty much straight up. Seemed like way it was intended and bolted but who knows

But fear not - there is plenty to explore...Shop all Hyperlite Shop sale Hyperlite
The Hyperlite B-Side Wakeboard series design begins at the rocker line, which is set at a 2.6 inch Blended 3-Stage. The B-Side carries more speed into the wake than ever before. This series also features a shallower, ABS polymer molded-in fin that ends nearly an inch from the tip of the board for a buttery smooth release off the wake and maximum durability on sliders. The elevated footbed reinforces the fore body of the deck to maintain a solid rocker line off the wake, but also allows for a thinned out tip and tail creating minimum swing weight and great control on rails. This series is truly a freeride masterpiece.
Blended 3-stage rocker
Shaped by Butch Hand shaped board designs by the pioneer of 3-stage rocker, Scott Bouchard
Shaped center landing zone
Biolite 3 Core The secret recipe Hyperlite has been perfecting since day one. This core material is the gold standard in the industry and used throughout their line. Bio 3 is Hyperlite's lightest and most durable formula to date.
Layered Glass Hyperlite's fiberglass is available in 3 weights depending on the board. Over time, traditional layered glass fibers will separate. With layered glass, every Hyperlite deck will have the same pop off the double up year after year.
Molded-In ABS Fins In an effort to maximize the durability of traditional construction, Hyperlite's design team introduced ABS into the molded-in fin areas on certain models. This material reinforces the areas that usually wear down first.
2 - .8" A-Wing fins
Elevated footbed
Monocoque Construction Integrates the top glass and the bottom glass into one, generating a more durable board on side impacts, thus preventing delamination.
M6 Inserts More threads give tighter fit and greater hold.

Thank you,

THX Tim!
Hello, Your welcome sorry couldnt help.. take care
EGR Valve Control - Mechanical System not Responding Properly or Out of Adjustment. EGR valve not responding or slow to respond.
Possible low power. Power will be removed from the EGR valve motor.
Possible causes of this fault include:
The ECM monitors the response of the EGR valve and logs a fault code if the valve fails to respond as commanded. When the ECM stops commanding the valve, the fault code will go inactive; therefore, this fault code tree must be used to troubleshoot active and inactive faults.
This also means the only sufficient way to make certain the repair is complete is to run the INSITETM electronic service tool EGR valve test. Operating the engine is not adequate to verify the correct component was repaired or replaced.

Anyway, one was a little too happy to get fed and bit me pretty good. After I got back to Pittsburgh, it occurred to me that I should get a rabies shot. So I went to a local hospital and told them what happened. Since it was an animal bite, they apparently had to report it. A few days later, the Memphis police called and I had to fill out a report. At least they didn't ask me to describe the squirrel!On my next trip in 1999, we went back to the same park and all the squirrels were gone. I may singlehandedly be responsible for starving squirrels all over Memphis!joerogo-Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you.

TAMPA — I suppose it is part of his legacy that Alex Rodriguez has always wanted more.
More numbers. More money. More attention. It wasn't enough that he was great, he had to be better. It wasn't enough that he had the biggest contract in sports, he needed another raise.
And so, in a way, his mea culpa on Tuesday was exactly what you would have expected. Simply saying sorry was not going to be enough for A-Rod. As usual, he wanted more.
So he admitted he made a mistake, but didn't want you to think he did it intentionally. So he acknowledged he cheated, but didn't want you to think it helped him perform. So he wanted to apologize, but wanted you to feel sorry for him.
It was as if he wanted to bleed, but couldn't bring himself to open a vein.
Someone asked how a player so conscious of his health could inject drugs that he claimed to know nothing about that were imported from the Dominican Republic by a cousin.
"I wish I knew," he said.
Someone else asked why he was so secretive about these injections if, as he claimed, he didn't think they were illegal steroids.
"That's a good question," he said after a long pause.
Maybe, for some, the news conference looked like contrition. The first time an athlete of Rodriguez's stature, who is still in the prime of his career, owned up to the sin of using performance enhancing drugs.
Maybe, for others, it looked like spin control. Less about remorse than a calculated attempt to protect the statistics he has accumulated, and those still to come.
For me, it just looked sad and overdue. Not so much for Rodriguez, but for baseball.
Rodriguez's reputation is being picked apart daily, and I guess that is the punishment he must pay. But I can't help but think he is carrying an unfair share of the blame for the sins of an entire sport.
What A-Rod did was wrong, but it was not unique. Far from it. The problem is no one else in the sport is willing to accept responsibility for a dark chapter in the game's history, and so one man is left to take a public flogging.
It doesn't seem to matter that steroids have been a part of the game since the 1980s. It doesn't seem to matter that a leadoff hitter could go from 16 homers one season to 50 the next, and no one raised an eyebrow. It doesn't seem to matter that the guilty are hiding in the corners of every clubhouse in the majors.
I'm not trying to excuse Rodriguez — just to put this in context.
At least A-Rod bought some credibility by fielding 30 minutes worth of questions from reporters on live television. That is more than Bud Selig has done, and it is far more than union bosses Don Fehr and Gene Orza have done.
The commissioner likes to take credit for all that has gone right in baseball since 1995, but wants to absolve himself of this scandal. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. You don't get to pick which subjects you get graded on. Either you are in charge and accept responsibility, or you are a puppet and deserve no recognition.
As for the leaders of the players association, they have been the worst kind of enablers. For years, they have questioned whether steroids are performance-enhancers or have the potential to be health hazards. They essentially perpetrated an atmosphere that penalized players who did not want to use drugs to keep up.
According to the new book The Yankee Years, Rangers pitcher Rick Helling complained to the players association every spring that steroids were rampant, and were changing the dynamics of the game. New Rays outfielder Gabe Kapler essentially said the same thing in 2000, and submitted to a steroids test for HBO's Real Sports to prove his innocence.
Around that same time, Gary Sheffield estimated 6-7 players per team were on steroids, and the New York Times reported that 20 percent of the players in San Diego's minor-league system had tested positive for steroids. A few years later, Ken Caminiti said as many as 50 percent of the players in the majors were taking performance enhancing drugs.
These weren't just signs of abuse, they were neon billboards. And yet baseball's leaders pretend they knew very little and could do even less. Which makes the hysteria over Rodriguez seem a little extreme.
Again, none of this means A-Rod was an innocent bystander stabbed by a renegade syringe. He was old enough to know what he was doing. He was savvy enough to know it was taboo. Even Yankees general manager Brian Cashman acknowledged some of Rodriguez's answers sounded like less than full disclosure.
So, yes, I think A-Rod could have handled his public apology with a little more sincerity. On the other hand, at least he had the gumption to do it. That's more than you can say for a lot of baseball people.

I tend to change gyms a lot. And not just because of bad locker room reputations. I just assume the next one will always be better. It never really is. But then, none of these gyms have ever featured the likes of Stacey Poole boxing and pouring water over her enormous sweaty melons. Sure, I've seen some attractive women in spinning class and the other classes that have names that sound really healthy and fun. But I've never quite seen anything like that before.
I'm not saying this type of funbag display would be right for every potential gym member. I'm only saying you only need to show me Stacey once, tell me she'll be back again someday to do the same, and I will never ever leave. I'm a very simple consumer. Enjoy.

A thanksgiving service for the life of Clarice Howorth (formerly Garnett) was held in the Holy Trinity C of E Church, Rathmell.
Clarice was a lifelong member of the Methodist Church and a member of the Society of Friends - but neither Rathmell Chapel nor the Meeting House in Settle would have been big enough for the congregation that gathered for the service.
Instead permission was given for it to be held in Holy Trinity Church and people came from far and wide and from all strands of Clarice's life.
The largest group comprised former pupils of Wesley Girls High School in Ghana where Clarice was a former headteacher. Many wore traditional Ghananian dress made in the school cloth and bearing the mottos of the school. They had travelled by coach, train, car or plane from London, Ghana and the USA.
The Rev Stephen Normanton conducted the service, which concluded with the school song.
As the service in Rathmell took place, a similar service was held in Ghana attended by more than 500 people. Clarice was remembered for her service to the school and to Ghana.
A collection was taken for Settle Age UK North Craven and the Clarice Garnett Outreach Service in Ghana and £500 was donated by all the Ghanaian ex-pupils who could not make the journey to Rathmell.

In his latest outlook, business aviation analyst Brian Foley sees an industry poised for a growth spurt, "albeit from an extremely depressed base." He noted that many industry segments–including charter and fractional providers, fuel sales, maintenance and other service providers–are already reporting "measurable improvement." Business aircraft manufacturers are also recovering, though more slowly. "Large-cabin jet manufacturers have experienced an upswing for some time," Foley said, "and the beleaguered smaller aircraft segments will now follow, rounding out the rest of the recovery." According to Foley, business jet deliveries are expected to grow by an average of 8 percent per year over the next five years. However, he predicts that shipments of large-cabin jets, which held up relatively well during the downturn, will grow at only a modest 5 percent per year. The "truly spectacular growth" in deliveries, possibly reaching 20 percent per-year growth, will be seen in the lighter-jet segments, which have taken a beating over the past two years. "This is positive news," Foley said, "but it does not imply runaway growth so much as a bounce from unimaginable low delivery levels. The industry has literally nowhere else to go but up."

Firefighter's benefit basketball game proceeds presented to Tough Enough Fund today
(Riverton, Wyo.) – Lander Fire Chief Eric Siwik and Riverton Assistant Chief Scott Walters today presented the proceeds from their benefit basketball game last month to the Tough Enough to Help Cancer Fund today. Accepting were Tough Enough's Teresa Nirider and Orion Morris.
The proceeds totaled $5,143 from the game, won for the first time by the Riverton Firefighters. The game was held in Lander as the site rotates between communities. "I think we've raised just over $20,000 for the fund in the four year's we've been playing this game," Siwik said.

I have a hook nose(kinda) with a small bump and a droppy tip My question is if the bump is rasped or taken down will the tip raise up or somewhat appear more narrow?
If I Have the Bump Removed from Nose will the Droopy Nose Tip Raise Up? (photo)
Doctor Answers 10
Removing dorsal hump does not affect nasal tip
By only removing the nasal hump, the tip will not appear more narrow or changed. Other procedures need to be performed during the rhinoplasty to alter the nasal tip.
Learn more: http://seattlefacial.com
If I Have the Bump Removed from Nose will the Droopy Nose Tip Raise Up?
Sadly, no. Removing the slight dorsal hump will in no way cause the nasal tip to rotate upwards. This can and should be done during the Rhinoplasty but would require additional techniques during the Rhinoplasty. A thorough knowledge and understanding of the proper aesthetics of facial (and nasal) beauty is the first requirement in selecting your Rhinoplasty Surgeon IMO.

Dorsal Hump and Downturned Tip
The dorsal hump and tip position are two different aesthetic and surgical problems. Removing the hump will not affect the tip, but both procedures can be done during the same surgery.

Bump and tip issues
The bump and tip are separate areas but their relationship to each other can change the appearance because of proportions. Your bump is very small and I don't think that your tip will look any diifferent if only the bump were to be removed.
Bump removal and droopy tip
The bump on your bridge and tip droopiness can be treated independently. If you want both improved that can certainly be done. In general, bump takedown tends to cause the tip to appear somewhat raised as a visual effect.

Rhinoplasty for nasal hump.
The surgeon can remove the bump with or without raising the tip of the nose. Make sure you see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.
Rasping of the nose
Minor rasping of the dorsum of the nose will not impact the tip. It certianly will not raise, it could actually descend a bit. Tip elevation is performed with suture technqiues and/or caudal septal modification.
Rhinoplasty for dorsal hum[p
It looks like you have a small dorsal hump that would be easily removed with rasps or osteotomes (chisels). A minimal amount of tip rotation could occur, but the hump is isolated and so I would expect a minimal effect on tip position. It is impossible to judge the possible need for nasal bones infracture without more photos. A small degree of tip rotation might be beneficial.
Removal of your nasal-bump will not affect the position of your tip or make it appear more narrow.
If you would desire tip narrowing and rotation, you should discuss this with your surgeon. This may be achieved with well-performed Rhinoplasty surgery, but this will require tip work and possibly shortening your septum.
Hope this helps.
Dr. Joseph

Dorsal hump ant tip elevation
Removing the hump, in your case, will should not raise the tip. If you desire changes to the tip angle a separate maneuver would be performed. However the opposite may be true. Raising your tip, may give the appearance that the hump is smaller.

Gov't to improve English-friendly environment
The China Post news staff Thursday, September 18, 2008, 9:41 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Officials of the Executive Yuan (Cabinet) have approved a landmark plan to standardize the romanization of Chinese terms into English in order to connect Taiwan with the international community, beef up the island's competitiveness, and create a genuinely English-friendly environment for foreigners living and working in Taiwan.
Officials from various government agencies attending a coordination meeting decided to adopt the Hanyu Pinyin system used by the United Nations and the world community for Chinese romanization.
The system will replace the Tongyong Pinyin system — which is used only in Taiwan — adopted by the previous government of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
The DPP administration regarded the selection of the romanization system is a political and ideological issue.
It decided to abandon the universal Hanyu Pinyin system mainly because it was originated and used also in China.
After spending billions of New Taiwan dollars in the past eight years, about 68 percent of the agencies at the central and local-level governments presently use the Tongyong Pinyin system, which that was invented and used exclusively in Taiwan, including the English street signs.
But foreigners and tourists have become more confused because the English spelling used at many places in Taiwan is like Greek to them.
Foreigners living and working in Greater Taipei are in the most miserable situation because of the signs in Taipei County, which was once ruled by a DPP magistrate which spent huge funds to change all public signs to conform with the only-in-Taiwan Tongyong Pinyin system.
But they then find that signs are spelled differently in the capital Taipei which has been using the universal Hanyu Pinyin system for the convenience of foreigners for years.
Ovid J.L. Tzeng, a Cabinet minister who chaired the meeting, said the decision of choosing the Hanyu Pinyin system over the Tongyong Pinyin system is absolutely not for political or ideological considerations.
Tzeng, a member and vice president of the Academia Sinica, the nation's highest research institute, formerly served as education minister.
He noted that all nations in the world, except Taiwan, adopted the Hanyu Pinyin system and there is no need for Taiwan to invent a separate system to create confusion for everyone.
All English-language books and publications in the world use the Hanyu Pinyin system so that scholars can easily communicate with each other, he pointed out.
Many scholars and researchers find it is hard for their colleagues abroad to understand their research reports and dissertations at international meetings when they use the Tongyong Pinyin system in their articles or presentations.
Tzeng emphasized that Kaohsiung City, which is still ruled by the DPP, backs the Hanyu Pinyin system for the convenience of foreigners.
The Kaohsiung City Government will be hosting more international events in coming years when it strives to attract more foreign tourists and investment for its faltering economy.
A study by the Ministry of Education shows that government agencies that have been using the provincial Tongyong Pinyin system find it difficult to promote the system because it only create more confusions and misunderstandings rather than helping with consumers.
The central government will assist local governments to gradually switch back to the international system.
But local governments will not be able to get financial aid from the central government if they insist on using the provincial Tongyong Pinyin system for all new street signs, documents, tourist maps, and other things related to Chinese romanization.

Sudden gray hair
Could sudden graying be something that could be related to another health problem? I am age 55. My hair has been probably gradually graying over the last 15 yrs. I have been dying it, so the most I see at once is about 1" when it grows out. The temples have been completely gray for some time. However, my hair dresser and I noticed that the new growth on the top probably switched from "salt and pepper" to suddenly fully gray in less than 6 weeks. Since the last dying it had grown out about 1" to 1/4". About 1/4 to 1/8 is "salt and pepper" and the rest is solidly gray.
Can stress cause more rapid graying or is that a wives tale? I have had lots of stress this year related to my health and that of my husband, have no known systemic problems, but am scheduled for additional orthopaedic surgery this spring.
Unfortunately, the graying of hair is geneticaly determined, and is not associated with life events or stress. Gray hair can begin to develop normally in adults anytime after age 20. The course that you describe seems well within what I would consider normal graying.

Pokemon X and Pokemon Y Guide – Catching Zygarde
After beating Pokemon X or Pokemon Y the first time around, one of the first things you should attempt is to catch another legendary Pokemon known as Zygarde. You pretty much knew there would be a legendary based on the letter Z coming after the X-based Xerneas and Y-based Yveltal considering past games. However, this will be much more of a challenge as it is a much higher level and can wreak havoc pretty easily with its move set.
The Dragon and Ground type Zygarde is found in an area that you may have been to before, but could never find him inside the cave. Let's take a look at where and how to catch this next legendary Pokemon.
Catching Zygarde
1. Fly to Couriway Town and head north to Route 18, where you will almost immediately see a cave that you may have explored in the past.
2. Enter Terminus Cave.
3. This is a pretty complicated and long cave, so I will detail it as best as I can to get you directly to Zygarde. There are many items scattered throughout the cave, including a few good ones in the final chamber with Zygarde. If you wish to grab those, just explore as you wish. The directions are as follows
-Walk through this area until you get to the stairwell.
-Move south and then west follow by south again while jumping over gaps.
-Move to the west and north up a ramp to a wooden bridge. Cross this bridge to the east.
-Once across the bridge go south and face a trainer battle. Once done, go a little more south and then east up a small ramp and across another wooden bridge to the east. There is a trainer on this bridge you can choose to fight or avoid.
-After crossing the bridge go down the only ramp you can and head north. There is another trainer you can choose to fight if you wish. Just barely to the north, look for a stairwell on the east wall and head down it.
-Head north once again and there is another trainer you can fight if you want. Head north further with some zigzags. Do not use Rock Smash on any of the rocks as you should just keep heading north.
-Eventually you will reach a fork where you can go north or east. Choose to go east and you can choose to fight a trainer or not as you move eastward.
-Now head south down the pathway he was pacing back and forth on until you reach a wall where you can choose to go east or west. Choose east and then turn south almost right away to get in a double battle that you cannot avoid with two trainers.
-From there, head directly south and once you hit a wall, head east and go up the stairs.
-Work your way north where you will get into an unavoidable trainer battle. After that is over, go a little more north and take the stairs on the west wall.
-Now all you have to do is head straight north and you will arrive at Zygarde.
6. Speak with Zygarde to begin the battle.
-Dragon Pulse
As mentioned before, Zygarde is definitely a much tougher matchup than Xerneas or Yveltal, but you still should be able to handle it pretty easily at this point. Earthquake is his most damaging attack, so having a Flying type on standby is always a good idea. He seemed to mix it, Dragon Pulse, and Crunch a good bit throughout the fight. My biggest problem with this fight was mostly that I kept KOing Zygarde too quickly, even with him at Level 70. One Ice Beam or two Surfs took him down for me and forced me to restart multiple times.
The best setup for you in this fight is to bring some Pokemon types that can whittle him down fairly quickly. You can also try a turn one Quick Ball if you want as it seems to work in this game more often than in the past. Then use some less damaging moves to get his health down to the red. Then bring in someone who knows False Swipe and whittle him down to 1 HP if possible. If you don't have False Swipe, just get him down as low as you can. If you can get him down very low, you shouldn't have too much trouble capturing Zygarde. Being located in a cave, you would be best served to use a Dusk Ball throughout most of the battle as it will give you a 3.5x multiplier. If the battle goes on a little while, start using Timer Balls instead as they will give you up to a 4x multiplier, depending on how long the battle has lasted.
When all is said and done, you will have another legendary Pokemon in Zygarde added to your team!

Thanks a lot!
Lucario with Dragon Blast at lv. 70 worked perfect to get it in the red zone.
Now back to Moltres….GD Star Rating

Whew, thx so much! Ur walkthrough of the cave helped me a lot!
I just finally caught it after using like 10 ultra balls! I used my lv.70 mewtwo to weaken it, then used my lv. 35 Butterfree and used sleep powder to make Zygarde fall asleep! Even though my Butterfree's weak, since Earthquake and Camaflauge doesn't work on it, I was able to use Sleep powder before it attacked me!GD Star Rating
Hi guys…Zygarde is verry easy to catch…I only use 2 snorlax to beat him and make sure to have atleast 5 dusk ball…Pokemon x is the easiest pokemon i've ever played…my main guy are my 2 snorlax…the 4 champions in pokemon league are no match for my 2 snorlax…both is lvl 100…they have 524 life…GD Star Rating

Adam Brody: Part-Time Dog Walker
I was already all gushy about Adam Brody yesterday, but there's something about seeing a man out with his dogs that just makes me love him all the more. Although Adam looked like he had his hands full walking those two pooches in LA yesterday. Is that a new pup to accompany his (formerly his and R Bils' — single tear) Penny Lane? Perhaps he needs a new dog walking partner to handle those leashes.

110 degrees.
110 degrees and there is not one place in Europe that offers cold drinks. Forget ice. Ice simply won't happen. Asking for a little ice in our drinks is like asking the waiter if they've been to the moon. You're likely to get a "W-T-F-G-T-F-O" face staring back at you.
I don't know why Europe doesn't serve ice with their drinks.
But, it's 110 degrees outside and we've walked through just about every museum and shop whose idea of air conditioning is to crank it to a very low, practically freezing 90 degrees—if there's even AC. So, a little ice is nice and there's pretty much only one place to get it:
I can hear it now: "Are you kidding me? I would not think of going there. You brave the heat and tepidity for a little local flavor, you got that?! Live like a local, heat stroke and all!"
Europe's McDonald's are –for lack of a better word—different. They're just plain different. Like the McDonald's in London that was offering "The Tastes of America." I didn't even know America had different tastes…Or that you could call "Arizona" a taste (does it come with a side of cactus?) Or the German McDonalds that have the Los Wachos. The Los. Wachos, people.
For some, I'm sure McDonald's is off-limits because it's sooo American. As in, "I don't want people to think I'm dining here because I'm American." The fact is, a lot of the people in a European McDonald's aren't American. All the Americans are somewhere else desperately trying to fit in and be as very unAmerican as possible. But, you know, no matter how much you try to fit in and not be yourself, you're still you (just ask my 8th grade self). You're still American. You still walk, talk, and wolf down your food so fast, people think: "yeah, has to be an American."
It doesn't stop at McDonald's either. The KFC in Bangkok adds a spicy kick to their fried chicken with rice. There was also that time we had Pizza Hut in Luxembourg. It was unlike the normal experience that people associate with the Hut. You know, where you call in and then get a cardboard-flavored pizza delivered to your front door. Instead, we dined outdoors, ate a pretty tasty pizza, tried a couple of different beers and garlic breads and watched the afternoon turn to dusk.
So, if we happen to be so hot that my body has found a NEW place to sweat and leaves me thinking: "OMFG, I didn't know I could sweat there," and we want some ice with our drink, then yeah, we'll be those only Americans at McDonald's.
Sure, eating nothing but fast food can get old, unadventurous and possibly extremely boring. It can be unhealthy to rely on nothing but fast food. But, sometimes, you find yourself in a pickle; a hot sweaty pickle, wanting to save a little money, or with a deep interest in something that seems different.
Sometimes, you just need the familiar. Like an ice cold drink. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Ice people. We need ice. Tell us a time you searched high and low for something that reminded you of home!

Thanks for complimenting my skin and curls Bobby. Like I said, I believe you are complimenting the outcome of an African-Caucasian mix
Oh the hyphenation thing. That could turn into a whole other discussion LOL Usually the terms African-American, African-Asian and African-Italian, etc., are being used redundantly and in a way that allows mono-racially white American citizens to just tag themselves as just "American" w/out revealing what their ethnic background is.
Again, I think this works both ways. I've met too many Italians who use racially derogatory words for themselves (sentimentally or not) but freak out when others use those words around them. I'm pretty sure my Italian friends wouldn't care for me using those words, and that makes sense. I respect them too much to use it. Just like I respect my African peeps (and myself) too much to ever use n****r. Meanwhile, I'm sorry to hear someone has called you any of those names. That's just crappy.
Oh @Korkscrew how I love how you broke this down! everything you said was exactly what i was thinking. I don't use the word on my vocabulary because i find the word disrespectful and offensive. I hate of this double-standard some blacks have created in their minds "we can say it ya'll can't" mentality. The n word or any racial slur shouldn't be use because the are used as insults to one heritage/ethnicity. Hopefully people will stop being ignorant to certain things.

Thanks hon. I too hope people will think more about these things. I think a lot of people from different backgrounds do it, so I'm glad you made that distinction here

CLEVELAND – Hillary Clinton is pulling out the big guns for her final swing through the crucial battleground state of Ohio. Or at least the very, very tall ones.
Basketball great LeBron James joined Clinton at a campaign event in Cleveland on Sunday, dwarfing the Democratic candidate as he pushed Ohioans to support her at the polls.
As a child growing up in inner-city Akron, the NBA star (height: 6'8") said he believed "our vote doesn't matter."
"But it really does," he said.

The stability gap b/w the Teebirds and the PDs of their respective plastics is probably the biggest difference, i.e.:
Champ TB >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DX TB
I'd probably play around with various DX TBs as your main drivers and maybe a P-PD as a distance driver.
Sponsored Links
Thanks, BrotherDave. Like I said in the opening post, I am trying to stick to as few molds as possible so that I can learn to throw all different shots with them. Right now, I still am not even throwing a Comet because I can replicate the lines I can get off a Comet with my most beat Roc. And I am definately looking for "do-everything" kind of discs.
Well thanks, that helps with my driver question. I took all my drivers out to the course a couple of days ago and my most beat Teebird was turning on me like crazy, as was my DX Leopard. This is new to me, I have always had drivers fade out. My form must be developing from all the practice with the Rocs. I'll have to expirement with slight hyzers with those discs. I have more DX Teebirds waiting that are fresh and stable so I will start breaking those in as well.
I am not so sure that there is enough separation in the distances I am throwing my discs yet for me start throwing a fairway and a distance driver. When I was out yestereday, my Rocs were regularly reaching just as far as my Teebird or PD. There aren't any excessively long holes on the courses I regularly play.
I am also trying to keep throw low speed stuff until I develop good form. I really just want to start working with a driver so that I have one that I am comfortable with. I am looking for one that will still teach me to throw correctly and also one that will be a good driver for me long term once I have invested alot of time in it. All this seems to steer my towards the Teebird. So you don't think it would be worth it to pick up a Champion one at this point?
Quick update: Did some more field work with the Teebirds, adjusting for a slight hyzer angle and keeping the nose down, and they were flying beautifully. Very controlled, alot of glide, predictable fade depending on the amount of height, hyzer, and how beat the disc was. I have found my short term and long term driver! They were consistently going further than my Rocs.
Again, would it be worth it to pick up a Champion TB? I imagine it would take a while to beat a champ disc in and I would like to start the process sooner than latter.
Also, I was planning on picking up a Pro Leopard, as GLong suggested. What kind of shots would I use that for/how much overlap would there be compared to a beat DX TeeBird?
Yeah, I'd just stick with DX Teebirds if you're really wanting to get the form down, they're really good discs and they're easily accessible. A Champ TB might be nice to have on holes with wind or where you don't want to risk turning over a DX TB and risk losing it.
As for the Leo question, I don't know if you'd really need one if you had a Teebird beat in enough. It would be nice for lower power control shots b/c they aren't as fast as TBs but I dunno, that's a really personal situation. Some people like pairing TBs with Leos and some people like throwing TBs only in wear stages.
For schnitzengiggles, I'll throw out two other good "do everything" drivers, the Cyclone and the JLS.
Thanks for the advice! Perhaps i should get a few different weights to work with. Right now I have 165 and 166. I have a friend who's going to sell me his old school teebirds which I think is 170. Between rocs and teebirds, I am finally understanding what a line shaping disc is.
If you like the feel of the Cyclones but don't like your plastic options, you could also try a Gazelle (DX or Star options, latter only from factory store). Innova designed the Gazelle off of the Cyclone, so they are almost one and the same.
I admire what you're doing with mold minimizaiton. I am also trying to minimize the number of molds I carry, and I'm at about four right now (sig notwithstanding - I may drop the Comet and/or Gazelle). Now, if I can just find a single fairway driver that I can carry multiples of in different plastics, weights, and stages of wear and have one of multiples throws like a Teebird or Cyclone and another throw like a Firebird, I'll be all set and be where you are at with three molds.
Nice to see a fellow mold minimalization enthusiast! Thanks for the advice, I've never tried a Cyclone, I will have to next chance I get. Its not so much that I prefer bead to no bead (although I do love my Ions and Rocs), I am mainly looking for as versatile a driver as I can get that will be sensitive to form, and rewarding both in the short and long term.
I have an X Comet that is a really fantastic disc. My most beat Roc can emulate the shots I would use it for (point and shoot mainly) so I prefer to stick with the one mold and really try to learn it.
Crazy Runner Guy is spot on. If you love Rocs, you should try a Cyclone b/c they're the closest thing to a Roc in FW driver form more or less. An ESP and X duo can cover a lot. They're sensitive enough to form in any plastic (except Z, they're awful and glideless in Z hence why they're oop in that). Cyclone, JLS, and Gazelle (and Cheetah), old school, do everything fairway drivers.
I am still really enjoying my Rocs, definately the best discs in my bag. Throwing 171 DXs at the moment, might wanna start looking into other weights. I'm throwing my 171s about 250 with my effort and stretching them to 280 on max distance lines and really good throws. Think I might wanna play around with 172s? I just love DX plastic, still. I have learned so much about line shaping and different throws.
Teebirds have been kind to me. Mainly using them for shots that are low and straight, they will hold these lines to the ground. Also, higher shots with a nice fade at the end to add some distance. I am throwing mainly a 165 right now. I have to give it a slight hyzer or else it will turn over. I have been considering picking up a Leopard or Cyclone as has been suggested here, but I am pretty broke at the moment.
My main concern right now is actually my putters. I still like my Ions, they are great off the tee, but I really wish I had something slower and in base plastic. I tried Aviars not too long ago, and I really didn't give them that long of a trial. Aren't Aviars, Challengers, and Wizards (and others) going to be awfully similar to Ions anyways though, just in base plastic? Would I be better off trying something more like a lid (as suggested in my last thread) like a Rattler or Birdie? Would these be good long term putters as well as good for teaching my proper form? Any other putter suggestions?

Fun Fact: The Ion was based off of the creator of MVP's favorite putter, the Wizard. So the Wizard is basically a base plastic version of the Ion. Voodoos feel very similarly to old Ions with the smaller beads and Anodes are very similar to beadless Aviars and Warlocks.
I've found use for all three. I use Ions for drives and long approaches, a Summit for anything using a putting stance b/c of the grip, and a Polecat for lots of touch shots and aggressive runs at the basket. One of the nice things about carrying a lid is besides being really good for cleaning up form, they're great for accurate lineshaping when you've got bad footing or have to throw from a standstill.
(one gram of weight isn't going to affect much on the Rocs, throw whatever feels right)

The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4128 Logged by: Gary Jay Peters Email address: gary(at)webdms(dot)com PostgreSQL version: 8.3.1 Operating system: Linux/Debian Description: The postmaster.opts.default file is begin ignored Details: 1st, I already have a work-round, but I wanted to let someone know about the problem. 2nd, we are installing from source code and compiling the application ourselves. The problem -- As I understand it, the only the "pg_ctl" command uses the "postmaster.opts.default" file; it uses the arguments within "postmaster.opts.default" when spawning the "postmaster" process. In older versions (such as "7.4.2"), the file "postgresql-X.X.X/contrib/start-scripts/linux" uses "pg_ctl" (see variable "DAEMON") to start the "postmaster" process. Because of this, the arguments within the "postmaster.opts.default" file are use. In newer version (I am using "8.2.5", but "8.3.1" appears to handle it the same way), the file "postgresql-X.X.X/contrib/start-scripts/linux" does not use "pg_ctl" (see variable "PGCTL") to start the "postmaster" process. Because of this, the arguments within the "postmaster.opts.default" file are ignored. Quickly looking through the source code, I found that the only file to reference "postmaster.opts.default" is "/postgresql-X.X.X/src/bin/pg_ctl/pg_ctl.c". My work-around is to mutate the "postgresql-X.X.X/contrib/start-scripts/linux" file adding a line "DAEMON_START_ARGS=`[ -f $PGDATA/postmaster.opts.default ] && cat $PGDATA/postmaster.opts.default`" and then changing each occurrence of "$DAEMON -D '$PGDATA'" to "$DAEMON $DAEMON_START_ARGS -D '$PGDATA'". Lastly, to quote from the "postgresql-X.X.X/contrib/start-scripts/linux" file, "What to use to start up the postmaster (we do NOT use pg_ctl for this, as it adds no value and can cause the postmaster to misrecognize a stale lock file)".

ABBOTT PARK, Ill., March 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Abbott Laboratories announced today that its development partner, Seradyn, has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a hemoglobin A(1C) (HbA(1C)) assay for use on Abbott's ARCHITECT(R) c8000(TM), ARCHITECT(R) ci8200 and Aeroset(R) immunochemistry systems. Tracking hemoglobin A(1C) levels through lab testing provides doctors with the data they need to monitor their patients' diabetes and prescribe the appropriate treatment. Abbott's Multigent(TM) HbA(1C) assay provides precise and accurate test results and gives labs an efficient and cost-effective test that can be integrated into their current systems. Abbott will exclusively distribute the Multigent(TM) HbA(1C) test.
"Our Multigent(TM) HbA(1C) test uses standardization, defined by the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program, or NGSP, and will provide consistent and precise reporting of results," said Jim Koziarz, Ph.D., vice president, research and development, diagnostics, Abbott Laboratories.
"The treatment of diabetes is based on the control of blood sugar levels. For the day-to-day control of blood sugars, home blood glucose monitoring gives patients the information they need daily. However, it is also important to assess the overall control of blood sugars by monitoring glycohemoglobin A(1C). This is a routine lab test that all doctors are running on their patients with diabetes every three to four months and changes in treatment, diet and exercise programs are based on these results," said Arturo R. Rolla, M.D., associate clinical professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School.
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease affecting an estimated 177 million people worldwide and this number continues to grow. Early diagnosis and monitoring of the disease is key to managing and preventing serious complications and premature death.

Times Art Critic
The other night, as I stood on a stepladder rummaging around the top shelf of a cupboard looking for white chocolate chips, a bottle of vanilla flew out, glanced off my head and onto the floor, sending glass and vanilla everywhere. The house smelled lovely but I'm still feeling little sharp objects underfoot.
Aren't all small domestic crises like that — a little sharp, a little sweet? It's the world of such moments that sculptor Ricky Bernstein captures in an exhibition at the Morean Arts Center, utterly beguiling slices of life resonating with the minutiae that accumulates as our personal stories.
Like the best stories, they're particular and universal. And, unlike a satirist, Bernstein uses humor to illuminate rather than skewer.
The visual appeal of Bernstein's glass and aluminum works is so heady that you can easily breeze past any deeper points he makes. The two best ways I can think of to describe them is that they're like three-dimensional genre paintings and they're as close to kinetic art as nonkinetic art can be.
He introduces us to a cast of characters from the 1950s, those post-war Eisenhower years that we look back on nostalgically as an era of optimism and endless opportunity. They're pop art-ish in a style similar to Red Grooms' paper collages, with gently humorous narratives involving girlfriends Gladys (a brunette), Lois (a redhead), Beverly (the blond) and occasionally one of their husbands, who kvetch their way through their days while doing housework. They smoke, drink lots of coffee and combat endless piles of dishes, fully made-up, sometimes in foam hair curlers and nets (remember those?).
They're a cheerful group. But there is in each a glimmer of wistfulness for a different life and a chance to escape briefly from the one they inhabit with such good grace. In Voila, Gladys, confronting a full sink, has dumped all the dishes into the garbage instead of washing them while Lois gives her an approving pat on the shoulder. Bernstein accompanies all the art with a short back-story. Here we learn that Gladys has always dreamed of being able to do this. You can see why: Surrounding her are piles of laundry and dust mop and broom waiting their turn.
Gladys again finds herself in the kitchen in Kitchen Dreams, this time alone, with more piles of dishes, her hair in curlers, glancing at the wall clock and clearly behind schedule.
Lois and Beverly offer us pointedly poignant vignettes. In A Girl Can Dream, Lois dangles a bikini she yearns to wear but will never fit into; Beverly, in a daydream, becomes Fifi, a glamorous dancer who wafts across the stage in a brief costume (still holding her feather duster).
Smart inclusions to go with the art are wall panels showing us Bernstein's process in making the elaborate constructions and a paper mock-up of one of the works in progress.
In some ways the sculptures are time capsules; rabbit ears on TVs are long gone along with those curlers. And we're schooled now to believe that dreams are pointless unless we aggressively try to make them real. I don't mourn the passing of foam curlers. But the small, private dreams, replaced by electronic devices filling our heads with public chatter, I miss.
You might think of these things when you see the show. Or you might just get a kick out of its joyful embrace of life. Either way, you'll get your money's worth.

Federal Way woman arrested for fatally stabbing husband in chest
A 50-year-old woman was arrested for stabbing her 52-year-old husband to death at their Federal Way home Wednesday evening.
Federal Way police were called to the residence in the 3800 block of SW 339th St. at around 7:27 p.m., but by the time they arrived he had already died. The woman had stabbed him in the chest.
Cathy Schrock, spokeswoman for the Federal Way Police Department, said the initial 911 call indicated she had accidentally stabbed him.
But she was booked into SCORE or King County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder after police interviewed her at the scene.
The two were having a verbal argument just before the man was stabbed, Schrock said.
There's no prior Federal Way domestic violence charges for the couple.
The woman's 18-year-old son was present during the stabbing, Schrock said, although it's unknown at this time whether he witnessed the crime.
"There was some reports he was taken out in handcuffs, purely for safety reasons. There are no charges against him," Schrock said. "He probably got heated when he realized his mom was going to be arrested."
Detectives are currently at the scene of the crime continuing their investigation.
The Mirror will update this report as more information becomes available.

Guitarist Herb Pedersen looks back at his time with the Desert Rose Band with equal amounts of fondness and pride.
The group was a collaboration between Pedersen, Chris Hillman and other top-tier California musicians.
It took shape in the mid-1980s and served as a throwback to the West Coast "Bakersfield Sound" made famous by iconic country players Merle Haggard and Buck Owens.
The songs created were straightforward and honest and filled a void in Pedersen's mind.
"I think we were giving country music a dose of what it really lacked at the time," the 68-year-old multi-instrumentalist said in a recent phone interview. "There were a lot of bands out there trying to get into country rock. They were losing the point of what country music really was."
The Desert Rose Band's return to roots resulted in several Billboard hits over the course of nearly a decade, many of which will be performed when the group plays the Fox Theatre Saturday.
One of the band's greatest strengths, Pedersen said, was its musicians, nearly all of whom had been playing around California for decades.
Pedersen ran in the same circles as Hillman long before the two joined forces.
Inspired by the same roots and bluegrass artists (groups like the Osborne Brothers), the two often crossed paths during gigs at Los Angeles folk venues such as the Troubadour and The Ash Grove in the late 1960s.
Hillman, an early member of The Byrds, had already parted ways with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band and had created The Flying Burrito Brothers with Gram Parsons.
Pedersen was a performing member of the progressive bluegrass band known as the Dillards.
"We were living in parallel universes," Pedersen said. "His was more of the upscale, pop-rock scene. I was more in the folk and bluegrass, traditional music arena."
As Hillman continued to tour and travel as part of the Burrito Brothers and with Stephen Stills' band Manassas, Pedersen earned his stripes as a well-respected session musician, recording with the likes of John Denver, John Prine, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt.
The duo rekindled their friendship in the early 1980s.
Producers invited Pedersen to work on a couple of Hillman's solo projects.
When singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg looked to Hillman to form a backup band for his "High Country Snows" tour, Pedersen was brought on as part of the team.
"We would open the shows and then Dan would come out and do the album with us," Pedersen said. "It was a cool little deal."
The Fogelberg lineup also included John Jorgenson on guitar and Bill Bryson on bass.
Members opted to continue the project as the Desert Rose Band, sans Fogelberg, after the tour, enlisting the talents of Steve Duncan on drums and Jay Dee Maness on pedal steel guitar.
Pedersen said it was Jorgensen who suggested they "plug in" and go electric, which was fine by Pedersen.
"I felt like it was the thing for me to do," he said. "To get out of the studio scene for a while and try to do this. It was an opportunity that really appealed to me."
The band did well with a string of hits that made their way onto mainstream country radio, including "He's Back and I'm Blue" from its eponymous debut album and "She Don't Love Nobody" from its sophomore release, "Running."
Many of the band's songs came from Hillman and his writing partner Steve Hill.
"I thought Chris had great material for radio," Pedersen said. "He was so prolific at that time with his songwriting career, that we had a lot to choose from. Lucky us."
Just as the band derived inspiration from West Coast greats such as Haggard and Owens, younger artists were drawing inspiration from the Desert Rose Band, even after its members parted ways in the early 1990s.
During one reunion show at the Crystal Palace, Owens' longtime venue in Bakersfield, Calif., the band found itself in a pickle after Jorgenson couldn't make the gig.
As luck would have it, a fan in attendance was happy to oblige.
"Brad Paisley was there," Pedersen said. "He said that he knew all of John's solos and it turned out that he did. I didn't know who he was at the time, but I knew him after that night. He is a great player and a wonderful guy."
Even today, the Desert Rose Band celebrates a loyal fan base, whom the group plays for at venues across the country a few times each year.
Tucson is the only stop the band is making in Arizona in February.
"We left a nice mark, a nice body of work for people to listen to," Pedersen said. "It's not unlike Buck and Merle and people like that, who really cared about the material. That is what we strived for, and I think we did a pretty darn good job."

text: We just completed our first cruise. While there I stumbled across the art gallery and fell in love with a Tigger cel. My husband and I bought it and they said they'd send it to us with 'five free pieces of art'. I believe they are just lithographs. Upon arriving home I did some internet research and I'm NOT finding anything good about this company or its repuation . Has anyone purchased from the art auctions at sea on the Wonder or Magic? We were on the Wonder. If so...please tell me good or bad how was your experience? The head guy was supposedly a retired Master Chief in the Navy and my husband is also a retired Chief and he (the sales guy) really played on that. I can't wait to hear from you all....Cindy
