Ship Bride of Lorne from Cardiff
The ship Bride of Lorne, which has been expected for some time past, arrived yesterday from Cardiff after a long and remarkably bad-weather passage of 185 days. Being laden entirely with railway iron of which she brings 1900 tons, she has had very trying times of it on the voyage. The Bride of Lorne is a large North American built ship of 1332 tons register, nine years old, and owned by Messrs W. and R. Wright, of Liverpool, and has not brought any passengers. During some heavy weather the cargo started, and although it was at once secured in the best possible manner it strained the ship so severely that she has been making considerable water from her top sides, rendering constant attention to the pumps necessary. One apprentice named John Henry Gardner fell from the mizzen chains and was drowned. It was impossible to lower a boat. The weather at the time was bad, and though the ship hove-to, and the life bouy thrown him, nothing more was seen of him.
The Bride of Lorne is commanded by Capt. Richardson, who
furnished the following report of passage:-
Left Cardiff on April 6... Crossed the equator on May 14, 38 days out. On May 21 the south-east trades were lost in 14° 25' south and the same day some terrific squalls from the south-west were experienced and the upper and lower foretopsail and jib were lost. June 7 in 33° 10' south a perfect hurricane was encountered and some damage was done to the maintopmast staysail stay, the chain foretack being carried away, an the ship lying hove to. On June 12 another heavy gale that lasted two days, during which the cargo started. It was secured with spars and fenders, but the ship rolled frightfully and strained to a great extent. On June 17th another heavy gale was met. A very large quantity of water found its way on board, and the cabin flooded and everything moveable washed away from the decks. The meridian of the Cape was passed in 40° south. At 11 pm on June 30 John Henry Gardiner fell overboard. The easting was run down between 40° and 50° south. Passed the Snares on August 9th. Arrived at Camp Bay yesterday (19 August 1878).
The following vessels were spoken:-
May 22 - Barque Edgar, Swansea to Valparaiso, 45 days out.
May 24 - Barque Virginia, Newport to Rio Janeiro, 50 days out.
May 25 - A German barque, shown J.H.N.W., Buenos Ayres to Falmouth, 13 days.
June 20 - Ship Invercauld, bound to Adelaide.
July 28 - Ship G.C. Russell, Cape Town to Medjiloneus, 20 days out.
Otago Witness, 4 September 1907, Page 70
First Passenger: "What do you suppose makes the ship roll so? It'll be the death of me!"
Second Passenger (furiously) : "It's that imbecile of an officer up there! He does nothing but walk from one side of the ship to the other. It's enough to capsize the vessel."
"Home, home, home from the sea,
Angels of mercy, answer our plea.
And carry us home, home, home from the sea,
Carry us safely home, from the sea."

Bored children riding on long car trips may have another style of Kansas license plates to look for if the Kansas Legislature approves legislation allowing veterans groups to put special license plates on their cars.
And the measure, which is pending in the Senate, would be the first change in the state's license plate system since a new format was adopted in the late 1980s.
Kansas has a history of changing its license plate format, a Lawrence license plate buff says.
"Kansas has got a very strange license plate system," said Tom Allen, a Lawrence resident and member of the Automobile License Plate Collector's Assn. Allen has been collecting and trading plates for about 27 years.
"We're one of the few states that has a classification according to county."
Vehicles registered in the state carry license plates that designate the county of registration by a two-letter county code.
"DG" is the abbreviation identifying Douglas County license plates.
Allen, who has about 12,000 license plates, said that although most people don't know it, the Kansas license tag system used to be much different.
According to the motor vehicles division of the Kansas Department of Revenue, the state's license plate system began evolving with the proliferation of the automobile in the early 1900s.
In those early years, the car owner had to fasten metal numbers onto a piece of leather and attach it to his or her car.
In 1913, the Kansas Legislature passed an act that authorized the issuance of metal license plates for the first time. The plates were not dated and had no county designation.
HOWEVER, the colors were changed annually and the position of the state designation "Kan" was moved from time to time.
Allen said shortly after 1930 a county number system based on population was started.
"They used to be issued according to a number code," he said. "When they first started the number system a while back, each county was given a number according to its population."
License plates issued in each county carried a number based on the county's population rank, based on the 1930 census.
For example, Douglas County had a population of 25,143 in 1930, making it the 16th most populous county in the state. All license plates issued in Douglas County under the system had the number 16.
THE NUMBER appeared as part of the plate's number, Allen said. The two were separated by a dash, he said.
The numbered system was in effect until 1950, when the current county classification system was adopted.
Allen said that even though Douglas County's population rank may have changed from 1930 to 1950, the county's number remained 16 under the old classification system.
If a license plate system based on county population were in place now, Douglas County license plates would have the number 5 because its 1990 population 81,798 makes it the fifth most populous county in the state.
Allen speculated that the plate categorizing system was changed in 1950 to accommodate an increase in license plate registrations.

Longest kiss in history: 46-hour Thai smooch

The Associated Press
Published Monday, February 14, 2011 7:02PM EST
Last Updated Saturday, May 19, 2012 3:56AM EDT
PATTAYA, Thailand - It was one long kiss -- one world-breaking embrace for mankind.
One determined Thai couple locked lips for 46 hours, 24 minutes and nine seconds to celebrate Valentine's Day in this southern beach resort town, emerging victorious and exhausted after a landmark "kissathon" that organizers claim marked the longest recorded smooch in history.
The previous record of just over 32 hours was set in 2009 by a couple in Germany, according to Guinness World Records, whose officials will have to verify the latest milestone for it to become official.
Fourteen mostly Thai pairs entered the contest when it kicked off Sunday morning at 6 a.m. local time. By Monday afternoon half had already beaten the record and were still puckering up on the white-marble corridor an ocean side shopping mall in Pattaya. Passing tourists gawked and smiled at the spectacle, snapping pictures with glowing mobile phones behind a red rope.
"We didn't think we would find anybody that could break the record," said Somporn Naksuetrong, the manager of Pattaya's Louis Tussaud's Waxworks museum, which organized the competition. That seven couples apparently did, he said, "is amazing."
The winner was announced before dawn Tuesday: a Thai couple from Bangkok named Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat.
The pair won a diamond ring worth 50,000 Thai Baht (1,606 dollars), and a 100,000 Baht (3,213 dollar) cash prize.
According to the rules, the lovebirds' lips could not part at any time. They were allowed to drink things like water, coffee, milk or juice -- but only through straws while continuing to kiss. They also had to remain embraced during bathroom breaks possible every three hours -- accompanied by contest monitors.
The harshest rule: no sitting or sleeping. One woman participating with her boyfriend fainted just half an hour after it began Sunday.
Despite its reputation for having one of the biggest sex industries in the world, Thailand is still a conservative nation where kissing in public -- even a small peck -- is frowned upon. Participants had to show proof they were either married or truly a couple -- a letter from both parents or a marriage certificate was acceptable.
"We want to show that love is meaningful and powerful," Somporn said. "It's not easy to stand there and kiss for that long. They really have to help each other and support each other."
A Thai and international soundtrack that included tunes like Sixpence None The Richer's 1997 hit "Kiss Me" kept couples swaying two nights straight, some barefoot or striking yoga-like poses to keep awake.
About 35 hours into the marathon, 37-year-old Preedi Singhajan scribbled a note on a paper tablet to his 51-year-old partner, Rungnapa Rojananawin.
"Can you go on?" he asked.
She soon answered by ending their embrace. Attendants swiftly sat the couple down and a nurse took Rojananawin's pulse.
"The competition is fierce," she said, slumped in a metal chair as five other couples shimmied in a bizarre scene akin to a high-school dance tempered by bright floodlights. "These people aren't giving up easily."
Louis Tussaud's Waxworks -- a Pattaya wax museum, is under the management of Ripley's World of Entertainment. Representatives of Guinness World Records were not immediately available to comment, but Somporn said they were aware of the contest.
The couples who took part were mainly Thai and ranged in age from 21 to 51. There was one German man with a Thai woman, and also a gay couple.
The official record for the longest kiss was clocked at 32 hours, 7 minutes and 14 seconds long by Nikola Matovic and Kristina Reinhart in Germany in February 2009, according to Guinness.

ST, PAUL, Minn. (AP) The late flurry of bills the Minnesota Legislature passed in the session's final hours now sit on Gov. Mark Dayton's desk.
The final batch was formally delivered Wednesday. That step starts a window for him to sign or veto bills. One budget bill, an economic development finance package, reached his desk Tuesday.
Governors have three full days to consider bills. The full budget and everything else must be decided on by Saturday night at the latest.
Because Dayton and the legislative majorities are both Democratic, the presumption is the budget will be signed. But there is a chance Dayton could eliminate some spending provisions with his line-item veto authority.
Dayton declined to say Wednesday if he would scuttle parts of an environmental finance bill, as some outdoors groups want.

I got facial fat grafting along with my rhinoplasty 11 days ago. I look like a cat and I am scared I will stay looking like this. I want my cheeks and eye hollows to be plumped and stay that way but I don't want to look like a cat anymore. Will this go away and is this experienced by other patients?
Facial Fat Transfer and Cat Look?
Doctor Answers 7
Feline Look 11 Days After Fat Transfer
Your swelling will resolve and you shouldn't look like a cat for very much longer. It can take up to 4 weeks after fat transfer to the face for the swelling to resolve. See the below web reference for other cat like plastic surgery. Good luck and be well.

Looking like a cat after rhinoplasty and fat grafting
Don't panic....you are just quite swollen in the cheek area from the combination of the two procedures in the same area. It will go down with time, but it may take a week or 2. Unfortunately, there's no medication no make this go away faster - diuretics and steroids don't work.
Hang in there.

Facial swelling after fat injections and rhinoplasty
Swelling can be considerable with either rhinoplasty or facial fat injections done independently, but together, the swelling can be excessive and distrubing to you. You may get the excellent result you've desired but it may take several more weeks to see the reduction in tissue fluid causing the swelling.
***PHOTOS: Facial fat transfer and cat-like appearance
Thank you for the photos and I am glad you have a sense of humor. In nearly all instances this is due to the exaggerated swelling of the combined procedures. It appears that your swelling has even improved from the early postop picture on the left (nasal splint in place) where you have scleral show ("I can see the whites of your eyes"). Generally speaking you will see improvements by 3 weeks and certainly by 6 months. Manual lymphatic drainage may help.

Swelling after Facial Fat Transfer
Regarding: "Facial Fat Transfer and Cat Look?
I got facial fat grafting along with my rhinoplasty 11 days ago. I look like a cat and I am scared I will stay looking like this. I want my cheeks and eye hollows to be plumped and stay that way but I don't want to look like a cat anymore. Will this go away and is this experienced by other patients?"
From the peeling skin, it appears you ALSO had either a laser resurfacing or a chemical peel IN ADDITION to the Nose Surgery and the Fat Transfer to the face. Facial fat transfer results in significant but NOT permanent facial swelling. Your swelling should be on the down swing now. I would follow with your Plastic surgeon and do whatever he advised you to do.
Dr. Peter Aldea
Fat transfer, facial swelling
Well it may be too early to judge the result. Combining two procedures does cause lot of swelling. Ensure that you follow postoperative instructions and visit your surgeon for regular follow up.

Chances are that you encounter some form of can almost every day. Maybe it's the small can from the dog/cat food. Maybe it held vegetables or another canned good. There are also bigger coffee cans and paint cans. And don't forget soda cans. While cans are recyclable almost everywhere, they are also very handy for many other uses.
Metal cans are very durable and the wide variety of sizes available make them versatile. Some come with lids, making them great for storage. (Hint: If the can doesn't come with a lid, like a vegetable or dog food can, you can buy lids for these cans in the pet store or in the kitchen aisle of most big-box stores. They're designed for keeping half-used cans of food fresh in the fridge, but you can buy them and use them for whatever you need. You can also buy lids for paint cans at the hardware stores.) Here are some things you can do with old cans.
Tall cans make great pencil holders. Small tuna/cat food-sized cans make good holders for things like paper clips, thumbtacks, or rubber bands. Large coffee cans can hold small toys, jewelry, hair accessories, or any other do-dads that you need to corral. If you're looking to add a bit of organization to your life, cans can be a great way to get started.
Piggy Bank
If your can has a lid, you can cut a slit in the lid and slip your change in that way. Even without a lid, a can is a great place to keep spare change. Decorate it with pictures of what you're saving for for even more motivation.
Flower Pot or Herb Garden
Cans make cheap flowerpots or you can make a kitchen herb garden with a few cans lined up on the windowsill. Poke some holes in the bottom of the can for drainage.
Laundry Catch-All
If your laundry room is like mine, the top of the dryer tends to accumulate change, pocket knives, nail clippers and other things that go through the wash. I don't always get them to their proper places as soon as the laundry comes out, so a can on top of the dryer gives me a place to corral these items until they are claimed or I distribute them.
Lint Keeper
If you collect lint or dryer sheets from your dryer, a can makes a good place to keep it until you have enough for your needs.
Cans make good scoops for pet food and bird seed.
Kitchen Canisters
Large coffee cans can be used to store flour, sugar, or dry goods. Decorate them to match your decor, or find vintage cans at thrift stores for the retro look.
Garage Organization
Cans are great for corralling screws, nuts, bolts, small tools, and other small bits that end up scattered all over the garage.
Bait Hauler
If you fish, you can haul your earthworms to the lake in a coffee can. I remember fishing with my dad and we'd go out and dig up worms before we left, put them in a coffee can, and haul them to the lake, dirt and all.
Paint cans with handles are great for hauling seeds and small tools out to the garden, or for moving cleaning tools from room to room.
Treasure Hunting or Time Capsule
We went to the beach every summer when I was a kid. One of the highlights of the trip was taking a can and burying it next to one of the pier pylons. (Yes, I know, not the most environmentally friendly things to do.) We'd bury it deep and I'd make a map showing where it was. The next year, we'd come back and try to find the can. We found it every year but one, and I think a hurricane got it that year. Anyway, you can use cans for treasure hunts in your own yard, or you can create a time capsule. Put some objects in a can, bury it, and dig it up later.
Art Projects
If you're creative, you can turn cans into almost anything. You can make a lamp out of an old coffee can, or build a sculpture. I've seen holiday lanterns/luminarias made from cans, as well as wine racks and shelving units. Whatever you can envision you can make.
Grease Holder
You shouldn't put kitchen oil and grease down your drain. Rather than keeping it in a bowl or something you'll eventually have to wash, just keep it in a can and when the can is full, toss it out.
Keeping Things Dry
When you go camping, a plastic or metal coffee/paint can with lid is great for keeping things like matches, small electronics, toilet paper, or napkins dry in the event of rain.
Trick-or-Treat Buckets / Easter Baskets
Drill holes on either side of a coffee can and secure rope/string through the holes to make a handle. Decorate the can and you have an instant trick or treat bucket or an Easter basket.
Bathroom Organization
If the stuff under your bathroom cabinet tends to roll around and get out of control, use cans to organize perfume, toiletries, medications, or cosmetics.
Target Practice
Cans make great targets for shooting practice. (Please practice all applicable gun safety actions and make certain shooting is legal where you live.)
Craft Organization
Organize all your crafting odds and ends with different sized cans. Big cans can hold things like yarn, scissors, or fabric scraps. Small cans are great for beads, scrapbook ornaments, bobbins, or needles.
Cookie Tins
If you make cookies for gifts, a festively decorated coffee can is a great way to present your gifts.
Candle Holder or Base
When camping or in a pinch, you can put candles in cans. The can will catch the drips and keep the candle upright.
Dorm or Camp Caddy
An old paint can makes an easy way for a college kid or camper to carry their toiletries up and down the hall to the communal bathroom.
You probably remember making a telephone with two cans connected by string. It's still a fun game for kids.
Stilts for Kids
You may have used a pair of these when you were a kid. Easy to make and still fun.
Lunch or Picnic Pail
When I was a kid, I went through a Little House on the Prairie phase. I didn't want a regular lunch box, I wanted a lunch pail like Mary and Laura had. An old coffee can with some rope attached for a handle made a perfect imitation.
Plant Protection
When you're trying to grow small plants, a can (with both ends removed)placed over the plant can protect it from nibbling pests or high winds. A can with a lid or the bottom still on can be placed over a plant to protect it from frost or hail. Larger cans can be cut in half and placed around trees and larger plants to protect them from mowers and weed whackers.
There are only a couple of rules about reusing cans. First, never use anything for food storage other than another food can. For example, never use an old paint can as a flour canister. No matter how clean you think you've gotten it, some chemical residue likely remains and you don't want to eat that.
Second, make sure you get the metal edges smooth. When you open a can with a can opener or cut off the top of a soda can, you will probably leave jagged edges or little pieces of sharp metal behind on the rim. Make sure you file these down well so you don't cut yourself when taking things in and out of the can.
While I'm not saying that you should keep every single can you encounter for some other purpose, it can be a good idea to keep a few around. They make great storage containers and you can easily decorate them and use them for more artistic projects.

I had Vaginoplasty one week ago today. The doctor said I should be back at work in one week.
I still have a great amount of pain if I am in a sitting position. If I am laying flat, there is far less pain. I also have a pretty strong odor and brown discharge. Is this normal?
The pain is severe enough that I am concerned about functioning at work. To be clear, I had muscle tightening and perinioplasty. I did not have labiaplasty.

Le Castellet - After nine years of intense development of the Le Castellet site, Philippe Gurdjian is stepping down as president and managing director of the Paul Ricard HTTT (High Tech Test Track), the Hotel du Castellet and Le Castellet International Airport.
Since 2001, Philippe Gurdjian has presided over the development, reconstruction and modernisation of the Paul Ricard HTTT making it the world's best test track facility. Under his leadership, the facility has become an ideal location for tests, events, hospitality, training and car development.
Throughout the redevelopment, the circuit has made use of innovative technology to improve safety and comfort, the development can count many firsts: the Tec Pro crash barriers, a new high-performance safety system installed around the circuit; 25 hectares of asphalt run-off areas; a system of marshal lights to name but a few major innovations that have since been adopted around the world. With 300 days of usage each year, 180 dry-track solutions and its 76 wet-track solutions the circuit has become an incredibly popular destination thanks to its flexibility, surrounding facilities and safety innovations.
Because of its esthetic innovations and qualities related to track safety, the entire facility received the Festival Automobile International's Grand Prix du Festival in 2004. Later, in 2006, the FIA Safety Institute's first ever Centre of Excellence designation awarded the circuit's unique and continued innovation in safety.
In parallel, the Le Castellet airfield was transformed into a modern, international facility. The new airport quickly became the subject of admiration from major airport operators for its logistics, engineering and architectural qualities including 24-hour operations and handling capacity for everything from private aircraft to Boeing Business Jets and Airbus A320 corporate jets.
Finally, with the Hotel du Castellet, Philippe Gurdjian presided over building a four-star luxury facility, part of the prestigious Relais et Chateaux chain. The hotel's Montecristo restaurant and chef Nicolas Sale won their first Michelin star in 2007.
Philippe Gurdjian commented: "Today, I am reorienting my professional life taking on some of the other challenges that await me. I will never forget what the Paul Ricard track has contributed to the region's sports, technological and tourism development and whose ultimate objectives are to create a center of excellence and a model for other similar European endeavors. I would like to thank my team of 200 dedicated staff members for making a success of the venue. I'd like to wish my successor all the best in continuing the development of the site and maintaining its role as a world leader."

Someone please help me. Is there i a way to uninstall the framework?? i know how to use ADB, but my computer won't see my phone because it won't boot all the way. I really don't want to FXZ and lose everything!! I have important stuff on here
1) OK, thanks for the tip on "keep data" I would much rather have to root and WP again, rather than lose all of my files and work.
2) I can't boot into recovery. When i try, it just starts normally. Which if RockMyMoto is like all of Jcases other root exploits, it removes the recovery.
3) isn't there a safe mode?? I wonder if i could boot into that and just delete xposed?
EDIT: Just looked up how to get into safe mode, and it won't boot. Still just the red "eye"
I did the FXZ "keep data" and got my phone back!! thanks for the tips guy!!! You have no idea how happy this makes me. I have literally every picture and video of my kids i've ever taken on this phone, (my wife has a couple on her phone too though). Which is stupid of me, and i'm backing them up right now.
Now to re-root and WP off.... oh well, atleast i'm pretty good at it by now, lol.

This month, Drafthouse Films is releasing Miami Connection in several theaters around the country. The 1986 movie was the pet project of Tae Kwon Do instructor and motivational speaker Y.K. Kim. He stars as the leader of a rock band who has to fight a gang of drug dealing ninjas. Drafthouse's Zach Carlson discovered a print of the film and brought it back, premiering at Fantastic Fest to an enthusiastic crowd, who later enjoyed a performance by the film's band Dragon Sound. We got to chat with Kim the following day.
For a list of theaters playing The Miami Connection, visit the Drafthouse Films website.
CraveOnline: How do you feel about the reaction to the screening, when people are both cheering and laughing at the movie?
Y.K. Kim: Before I answer your questions, I was wondering how much fun you had last night.
I had fun.
Are you sure? You're going to tell everybody?
Already did in my Fantastic Fest report.
You did? Thank you, thank you. It was great. The reaction I saw was unbelievable. If Austin, Texas is like this, I think all over the country will be nuts.
Where did Miami Connection play in 1986?
Let me tell you before, anybody looking for watching a movie like a drama, romance, I don't think they should watch Miami Connection. However, if they love good music and exciting real action, not computer generated, and the true meaning of friendship, they're not going to just love Miami Connection, they will be crazy about Miami Connection. You know why? Because this movie is the true meaning of martial arts spirit and deep philosophy everybody needs. It can be fun, exciting and meaningful. I'm going to answer your question. We filmed in central Florida and Miami in 1986. It played in Central Florida, Orlando, Daytona Beach and Melbourne at 8 different theaters.
What was the reaction back then?
Okay, let me tell you. I don't even know what a movie means. I'm not a moviemaker at all but I wanted to promote martial arts, what I love. So we finished the movie and I took this movie to Hollywood, 20th Century, Paramount, you name it. Over 100 distribution companies, every single company said, "Hey, Y.K. Kim, this is trash. Just throw it away. Don't waste your time." So I had no choice. Throw it away or I keep going. Tae Kwon Do spirit says keep going, so I went to the Cannes Film Festival in France. I invited all worldwide buyers, I rented a theater, but the same thing. Everybody said, "No, don't do it. Stop it. Don't show it anymore." I asked them why. "This is really trash. Nobody will buy it." But among them, one gentleman is the senior vice president of Manson International, he said, "If you re-shoot it, maybe it will work." So I asked him why? "How can you kill the good guy and let the bad guy live?" So I came back but I didn't know how to direct a movie. The director was already gone so I had to buy the books and read the books and ask my student, who's Master Diamond now, to help me. So together we re-filmed and finished the movie. I wanted to show Hollywood again but already they rejected it. So give up, or keep going? Again, martial arts spirit says pursue it. So I opened it in Central Florida but you know distribution requires lots of money, but I already dried out all the money. So what I did is I used my body, my brain. Three months, interview after interview, all over the media and public speaking and signs at Wal Mart and all around, everywhere. I think I spent over $3 million on promotion. I was just so excited that it would be a blockbuster. What happened? The Orlando Sentinel, the biggest newspaper over there, their movie critic was so popular, he wrote it was the worst movie of that year and nobody would watch it. My expectation was so high, like the sky was the limit but the audience rejected it. So it was dead.
25 years later, was this the reaction you were hoping for?
After 25 years, the last two years some TV stations and radio stations called me and wanted to interview me. I didn't respond because I didn't want to have that nightmare, but one company continued to pursue me, Drafthouse. So I asked my personal attorney and the president of our association. They investigated Drafthouse and saw it was a real company. So we signed the deal. They invited me to New York last summer. I went over there. The first thing I asked was, "Hey, why did you buy this trash?" They said, "What? It is not a daytime movie, family comes and enjoys it together, but midnight moviegoers are different." So I went to the 11PM premiere. At 10:30 PM, 20-30 people show up. I was disappointed. 10:55 PM, only 60 people in a 360 seat theater. I remember 25 years earlier. At 11 o'clock, a packed room, no room to come in. So I thought it was sensational exhibition and I thanked them for inviting me here [to Fantastic Fest.] When I sat down with that audience, wow, what a shock. Laughing and screaming and cheering, beginning to finish so I pinched my arm. Is it real or not? It was real. After it finished, the lights came on and nobody left. So I went to the back office, for 10 minutes I was sitting down. So I came out, oh gosh, everybody came and gave me a hug and wanted autographs and took pictures. Many people said, "I think that was the best movie of the last year, the last 10 years, the best action movie ever." I was really shocked. So anyone who loves watching a real action film, this is it.
For Dragon Sound, how does it feel that the song, "Friends Forever" is now stuck in our head for the rest of the festival?
Thank you for that question.
How many takes would you do of each scene? Were there any first takes in the movie?
Again, I had a couple thousand students. Actually, over 10,000 members so I could pull out a couple thousand people, all martial artists. 99% of the actors and crew are all my students. We only had two professionals. One is the DP, one is the director. So they know it. They practiced all the time so we didn't have any problem with action.
There is still violence in the world. How are we going to eliminate it?
I truly appreciate that. That's a vital question. You never eliminate violence, but how can you avoid violence? That's the key. We have to have people build inner power, true self-confidence. If they have confidence, and avoid violence, that's the key. For example, if anyone wants to fight with you, run. Just run. Avoid it. If they continue to both you, you can use your strong point and your opponent's weak point. You can use communication. Most people don't fight right away. Usually fight starts as verbal problems, so if you know how to handle that, I think we can avoid the violence.
Dragon Sound has stayed together after all these years, so did you really become friends forever?
Of course, they're all my students. Two of them are masters now. Two are black belts.
What was your experience as the casting director on the film?
I told you I didn't have any movie experience. I didn't even have time to watch movies before. I didn't even know what casting means, so what I did is the same as martial arts: right place, right person. If they have the right attitude, if they have the right skills, if they have the right leadership, I hired them and then we played.
Where was that ninja training camp with the bridge and the springs?
Close to the martial arts school, we have a park there. It's a central park in Florida. We filmed it there.
Could there be a Miami Connection 2?
No. No.
The next movie, we are going to try a family movie, so even children can watch it together. We're going to make Academy Award quality movies, so seven years old to 90 years old, mother and father, brothers and sisters, everybody can come watch it together.
What will the next movie be then?
The next movie we'll probably call Sabom-nim.
Is that a Korean name?
Yes, Sabom-nim means Master.
The title in the film Miami Connection says Escape from Miami. Why?
We changed it three times. Number one was Against the Ninja, the [name of the other] song we had. Then Escape from Miami and then finally we changed it to Miami Connection because it is really a connection.
Are you excited to see the DVD extras for Miami Connection?
Oh yes, more than excited. It was great, fantastic.
Did they film the Dragon Sound concert for the DVD?
Who are your students today?
I'm teaching modern martial arts. It combines physical fitness, mental fitness, moral fitness, financial fitness and life fitness. What do I mean by physical fitness? If you build physical fitness, you will be healthier and stronger. Number two, mental fitness, if you build mental fitness, you will be wiser and smarter. Then everybody needs moral fitness so everybody needs to have peace in their heart and confidence and inner power. Then they need financial fitness. We live in the supernation of the world but 87% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. They have to learn financial fitness so they can have financial power so they can have financial freedom. The last thing we call life fitness, so you must know how to control your own destiny. Then you must know how to build your successful network so you can have true freedom. So if you build physical fitness, mental fitness, moral fitness, financial fitness and life fitness, you can create a winning future to be healthier, wealthier and happier so you can have a real quality life.
Is it okay if we take a week off to enjoy these Fantastic Fest movies and eat and drink at the Alamo Drafthouse?
[Laughs] That's a good question. What is your answer?
I think I have to take it easy.

Well worth the time to watch. Interesting characters - good guys and bad.

Hornblower is based on the International best-selling novels by C.S. Forester. Enjoy this multi Emmy-winning hit television series as seen on ABC Television featuring a lavish production.
Hornblower Vol 1: The Even Chance (1998) (Disc 1)
A storm is raging in the English Channel, and a small shoreboat is being lashed by squally rain.
Huddled at the stern is a pale-faced 17-year-old midshipman about to begin his career in the Royal Navy. Soaked to the skin, Horatio Hornblower steps aboard his first ship, and becomes violently seasick.
But despite this uncompromising start, he is destined to become one of the most gallant and formidable figures in naval history. Plunged onto battle, action and adventure, Hornblower proves himself courageous, resourceful and decisive against the perils of the high seas.
Hornblower Vol 2: The Examination For Lieutenant (1998) (Disc 2)

Hornblower Vol 3: The Duchess and the Devil (1998) (Disc 3)

Samana Bay is an island ruled by Spanish privateers. The 'Renown' is sent to route the Spanish and regain control of the island. After an unsuccessful attempt at a front assault.

Hornblower Vol 7: Loyalty (1998) (Disc 7)
1803 Portsmouth. Hornblower is reduced to the rank of Lieutenant as a result of the peace treaty with France. He is forced to earn his living at the card tables and lodges with Mrs Mason. A chance encounter with Lieutenant Bush re-ignites their friendship and indeed, it is Bush who first notices Hornblower has an admirer, Mrs Mason's daughter, Maria.
Admiral Pellew summons Hornblower and confirms his promotion to commander. He is to captain the sloop Hotspur on a reconnaissance mission off the coast of France.
Hornblower discovers preparations for an invasion force of 50,000 men and Pellew decides to mount a pre-emptive strike on the French fleet, now that war has once more been declared.
Back in England, Hornblower surprises himself by asking Maria to be his wife.
Hornblower Vol 8: Duty (1998) (Disc 8)
Hornblower is filled with trepidation on his wedding day, but he has given his word - how could he dishonour his bride Maria and live with himself?
Admiral Pellew gives Hornblower little time to ponder his new state of matrimony as he sends him off immediately to search for the missing sloop Grasshopper, captained by their old friend, Bracegirdle.
Hornblower does indeed locate the wreck of the Grasshopper and its sole survivor, a crushed and defeated Captain Bracegirdle. Hornblower is forced to sail into dangerous waters, as the fog descends and the snow falls, to attack the French vessels poised once more for an invasion.
Waiting patiently in England, Maria has her own momentous news for Hornblower...

This is a well acted series if you like watching British naval history battles etc. If you were hoping for a more romantic Jane Austen style period drama as I was, you might be disappointed, as there was no romance in the first episode.
Another excellent Hornblower tale. The authenticity of the sets and the costumes are remarkable. Althought artistic licence was used throughout both the books and the series it still came across as very plusabal
Just as I enjoyed C S Forester's written stories I have enjoyed Robert Lindsay's portrayal of Hornblower in Mutiny.
The scenes are realistic and the acting is believable and carries the viewer with them to the concluding scenes.
Thought this episode wasn't up to the earlier ones! Got the impression it was a bit of a 'pot-boiler' setting things up for the later episodes. Hope they are back to the earlier level of adventure, etc..

[Press Release]
Kindle Fire—the Best Tablet for Kids and Families—Getting Even Better with New Education Features for Kindle FreeTime
Parents can now set educational goals for their kids, and make sure their kids have met their goals before switching to cartoons and games
Manage screen time with additional Time Limits features: set different limits for weekends vs. weekdays, and use "Bedtime" to set a curfew
Thousands of new educational books, apps, games and videos coming to Kindle FreeTime Unlimited, including Common Core Standard-aligned books, educational apps from developers like BrainPOP and Agnitus, and movies and TV shows from Sesame Street, PBS, Reading Rainbow and more
Amazon today announced a new version of Kindle FreeTime on Kindle Fire tablets that brings new educational features built from the ground up for parents and kids. FreeTime is a free feature available exclusively from Amazon, and the update will be delivered automatically to any Kindle Fire tablet that has the FreeTime app in the coming weeks, just in time for the holidays. Customers can order the new $139 Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire HDX 7" and Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" at www.amazon.com/fire-hd.
"Kindle Fire is already the best tablet for kids and families—and now we're making it even better," said Peter Larsen, Vice President, Amazon Kindle. "We know kids spend a lot of time every day looking at screens, and we're excited to add new tools that help parents make this time more educational. Parents can use features like 'Learn First' to ensure study comes before play and set daily educational goals for reading and learning. If you subscribe to FreeTime Unlimited, your kids will enjoy thousands of new educational books, apps, games and videos."
With new Educational Goals, parents can now set additional goals for their kids—for example, a parent can set a goal to read 30 minutes every day in FreeTime. Parents of younger children who can't yet read can set goals to use educational apps such as My First Words: Spanish, Elmo Loves 123's, or BrainPOP Jr. for a certain amount of time each day.
Additionally, parents can now choose to make sure their kids have reached their educational goals before they can watch cartoons or play games. Simply tap on Learn First, and all non-educational content is removed from the child's FreeTime library until they have met their daily reading or educational goals. Everything in FreeTime Unlimited—plus the top 10,000 most popular kids' books, videos, and apps on Amazon—has been categorized as education or entertainment, so when a parent sets goals for Learn First, the work of identifying which content is educational vs. entertainment has already been done for them.
Parents will also love these additional new options for Time Limits:
Bedtime: No more cartoons in the middle of the night—set a Bedtime so FreeTime only works the time of day you choose—for example, between 8 am and 8 pm.
Weekend and Weekday Time Limits: All days of the week aren't created equal—configure educational goals and screen time limits differently for weekends and weekdays.
In the coming months, parents will be able to borrow a Kindle book from a participating public library, and make it available to their kids in FreeTime. Additionally, Prime members with access to Kindle Owners' Lending Library will be able to add their borrowed books to FreeTime.
Amazon is adding thousands of educational books, apps, games, and videos to Kindle FreeTime Unlimited, the optional extension to Kindle FreeTime that brings together all the content kids and parents love into one simple, unlimited subscription for kids ages 3-8. Over half the content in Kindle FreeTime Unlimited is educational, including:
Thousands of common core-aligned leveled readers and supplemental readers are coming to Kindle FreeTime Unlimited and the Kindle Store—most of these books will be available for the first time digitally. Hundreds of these titles will be available in time for Christmas, with the rest coming early next year, from trusted educational publishers like Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Starwalk Kids Media LLC, The Child's World, Sleeping Bear Press, Lerner Publishing, and Cherry Lake Publishing.
Kid-friendly educational apps such as Team Umizoomi Math, Super Why!, Stack the States, Curious George at the Zoo, Elmo Loves 123's, Write the Alphabet, Kids Learn To Read and more.
Award-winning and engaging educational apps from BrainPOP and Agnitus.
Over 2,000 educational TV Shows and Movies from well recognized educational content providers including Sesame Street, PBS, Reading Rainbow and BabyFirst TV.
Beginning level foreign language video learning programs for Spanish, French, Chinese and more from Little Pim.

Parkland Junior School celebrated the completion of its Pedal Power a go-go, Petrol Legs a no-no project with their third Bike Breakfast recently.
It was attended by more than 110 parents and children including Mike Thompson, the outgoing mayor of Eastbourne, who presented the School's Bike Champion, Miss Messer, with a Big Lottery Fund Plaque.
The Big Lottery Fund awarded the school with a grant for £10,000 to fund the project which encourages children and parents to leave their cars at home and use more sustainable means of transport such as walking, cycling or scooting to school instead.
The school now offers storage for 42 bikes and 40 scooters.
During the term of the grant 65 children have undergone Bikeability Training free of charge with their places funded from the Big Lottery Fund Grant.
The Big Lottery Fund is responsible for giving out 40 per cent of the money raised for good causes by the National Lottery. The Fund is committed to bringing real improvements to communities and the lives of people most in need and has been rolling out grants to health, education, environment and charitable causes across the UK. Since its inception in 2004 it has awarded close to £6 billion. The Fund was formally established by Parliament on December 1 2006.

Cisco contributed to SCTP as an open standard (described by RFC 2960) and as open source, with a kernel implementation of SCTP for the FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. In 2002, Cisco's Marco Molteni built on SCTP by developing MPEG-4 over SCTP as open source, modifying the www.mpeg4ip.net media player and the Apple Darwin Streaming server.
MPEG-4 describes how to encode a video in 3 different frames, 'I', 'P' and 'B', where the 'P' and 'B' frames depend on the 'I' frame. If an 'I' frame is lost when streaming, all subsequent frames become useless until the next 'I' frame appears.
Molteni and his colleague took an MPEG-4 streaming server, replaced the underlying transport protocol with Partial-Reliable Stream Control Transmission Protocol (PR-SCTP), and selected the retransmission based on the frame type: TCP-like reliability for the 'I' frames, and UDP-like best-effort for all the other frames. They replaced the underlying transport protocol in an MPEG-4 player with PR-SCTP. Molteni noted, "We had to fight our way among crashes and codec vagaries."
Molteni found that under congestion scenarios, there is improved video stream playout quality, due to the increased number of 'I'-frames that PR-SCTP can salvage from congestion.
Although there were a few existing works describing simulation scenarios for MPEG-4 over PR-SCTP, Molteni thinks his work is the first implementation of this protocol, and may still be the only one. He noted that working on SCTP over MPEG-4 allowed him to develop software using open source tools and operating systems. He recounts, "We had to juggle with bleeding edge kernel code, design a new encapsulation protocol, and endure many late-staying nights, fighting the conference deadline for the paper."


text: I have this question on my assigment but I don't fully understand what they want me to do, it says: Use inheritance to create an exception superclass (called ExceptionA) and exception subclasses ExceptionB and ExceptionC, where ExceptionB inherits from ExceptionA and ExceptionC inherits from ExceptionB. Write a program to demonstrate that catch block for type ExceptionA catches exceptions of types ExceptionB and ExeptionC. So say I have class ExceptionA Code: import java.util.Scanner; public class ExceptionA { public ExceptionA ( ) { Scanner scanner = new Scanner( System.in ); boolean continueLoop = true; do try { System.out.print("Integer 10 divided by (Type an integer number a press Enter): "); int denominator = scanner.nextInt(); System.out.printf("Result: %d\n", 10/denominator); continueLoop = false; } // end try catch ( ArithmeticException arithmeticException ) { System.err.printf( "\nException: %s\n", arithmeticException ); System.out.println("Zero is an invalid denominator. Please try again.\n" ); } while (continueLoop); } } Now I'd need class ExceptionB extends ExceptionA class ExceptionC extends ExceptionB and class ExteptionTest (with the main) I don't understand... are they asking me to create a method or what?

ATI's haphazard set of naming conventions often makes it difficult to keep track of their GPUs, especially in relation to one another. After initially releasing a video card there are always modifications to it, as can be seen in X800 series. This series of cards has diverged into such models as the XT, XL, XT PE, Pro, GT, and the plain X800. Keeping track of these models, especially after the partner companies have made their modifications is more than a bit challenging. This can make purchasing a video card a very trying experience.
This review is going to be looking at the latest addition to the X800 PCI Express lineup, the X800 GTO. Manufacturer by HIS, this specific offering, the X800 GTO IceQ II Turbo, has a number of features which set it apart from those available from other companies. This card has interestingly been launched right before the release of the highly awaited R520-based video card, but given the difference in price points this may not be that strange after all.
One question that consumers will have concerning the X800 GTO is, where does it fit into the ATI line? The most accurate way to look at it is that the GTO is and upgrade from the GT, but buyers should beware because the cards can feature a variety of different cores and memory specifications despite being called a GT/GTO. Our X800 GTO features a core speed of 400 MHz and twelve pixel pipelines while the average GT has a higher clock speed, but only eight pipelines. The X800 GTO is actually very similar to the X800 except the a different core and a very small difference in clock speeds. Given the price and expected performance the X800 GTO should be competing against Nvidia's 6600 GT and the 6800.
The video card arrived in its retail packaging, looking like most other video cards, especially HIS' other IceQ models. The box is covered which HIS' badges, from basic details like it PCI Express compatibility, to more exciting details like the "-11 degrees C" and "less than 22 dB" specifications which come along with the IceQ lineup. The Turbo sticker certifies that this video card can operate at a core speed of 500 MHz and a memory speed of up to 1000 GHz. This overclocking can be done using HIS' included Turbo overclocking program, which is only included with their Turbo edition cards.
Opening the box up you can see how the X800 GTO is shipped. It is not in anti-static wrapping but the plastic inside does a good job of keeping things from being damaged during transportation. Along with the video card, the kit includes a S-Video cable, RCA cable, conversion connecter Mini-Din to RCA, HDTV output cable, and a DVI-to-VGA adaptor. The software bundle includes HIS' Turbo software, FlatOut, Microsoft Dungeon Siege, 3D Album PicturePro, PowerDirector 3 SE Plus, and Power2Go 4. While it is nice to get a software bundle with an upper tier video card, these titles are not overly impressive. Dungeon Siege was a solid game when it was released, but with the sequel out, it is unlikely that many consumers will appreciate the gesture.
A small sticker on the outside of the GPU cooler lets consumers know that this product is CrossFire ready. This is a nice feature to have, but one that is going to be of no use until ATI finally releases CrossFire. Its hard to say exactly when this is going to be but given the delays and how far it is behind SLI, let's hope its soon. Of course, you will still need to get another video card and a new motherboard to get it all going.
Core: R480
Memory Size: 256 MB (GDDR3)
Memory Bus Width: 256-bit
Active Pipeline: 12
Vertex Engines: 6
Memory Bandwidth: 32 GB/s
Fill rate: 6000 MTexel/s
Transistors: 160 M
Default GPU Clock: 400
Default Memory Clock: 980
Turbo GPU Clock: 500
Turbo Memory Clock: 1000
Outputs: VGA (one or two), DVI, TV-out, HDTV
Looking at the video card we can see that it features the standard design for HIS' IceQ series. The cooling is handled by an Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer which HIS has customized and rebranded. The cooler has a large fan which spins parallel to the card and sends air from the case through the cooler's fins and then out of the enclosure. The fan has no guard so users should beware of stray cables and fingers, and though the fan does not spin fast enough to do much damage you would not want it to stop running because of possible overheating.
Flipping the card around we can see that the GPU cooler also cools the cards 256 MB of memory and that the X800 GTO does not require auxiliary power to run. The PCI Express connection is able to furnish the video card with all the power it needs, despite the fact that it is designed to run with a generous overclock. The rear of the video card has a substantial back plate which not only supports the cooler on the other side, but also presses against the memory on the back of the card so that they are able ot transfer some heat away. The stickers on the card have some basic model information and the HIS serial number.
The cooler looks awesome, but HIS does not want users toying with it. These GPU coolers are not especially complex, but given that it has sufficient power there is no reason that it should ever have to be removed, unless you are upgrading to watercooling. The size of the cooler means that it is said to take up the allotted area for the PCIE slot, plus the next expansion slot, but the cooler even spills over a bit more than that, not enough to get in way of the next card down though.
[X800 GTO with a Gigabyte X600 XT]
Installation and Testing
Test System:
DFI LanParty nF4 Ultra-D, Athlon64 3200+, 2×512 Mushkin PC3700 RAM, 120 GB Maxtor hard drive, PC Power and Cooling Turbo-Cool 510 SLI
As expected, the installation was quite easy. After removing the old drivers the system was powered down and the previous video card was removed. The HIS X800 GTO slid right into place after removing the cover on the expansion slot below the system's PCI Express slot. Catalyst version 5.9 drivers were used for the testing. For comparision testing the X800 GTO was tested against a Gigabyte X600 XT, an ATI X700 Pro, and a BFG 6600 GT OC.
The main benchmark testing was done to show the comparative performance of each video card. The X800 GTO being the newest card of the bunch, and probably the most expensive, was able to best the other cards in the group. Since this card is the Turbo model, the testing was done at the 500/1000 Turbo speeds, which is how HIS has designed the card to run. While the power of this video card is not staggering compared to the battle-proven 6600 GT its extra pixel pipelines and high clock speeds were able to handle our benchmarks with no problems. The other cards were able to deliver playable frame rates but the GTO is really in a class above the rest, despite its reasonable price.
The next stage was simply done by testing the video card at 1600×1200. This is a great level to play at if you have a solid video card and a nice display. Here the X800 GTO did pretty well, it can definitely handle 16×12 game play, but if there is going to be lots of action, users will probably not be able to play with AA or AF turned on and still get a good frame rate
Using synthetic benchmarks the video cards were again tested. While synthetic benchmarks are not necessarily indicative of real-life performance they are able to give us a good idea of comparative capabilities. Here, once again, the X800 GTO was able to stay on top of the other cards, with a clear trend line which put the 6600 GT below the X800 GTO, with the X700 Pro another step down and then finally the X600 XT.
Overclocking and Cooling
With its large cooler and included monitoring software the X800 GTO IceQ Turbo is designed to run at 500/1000, not its native 400/980. This overclock gives it a nice performance boost and makes the card extremely competitive given its cost. With the push of a button the card will enter Turbo mode which not only ramps up the clock speeds but changes the fan speed from Auto to 100%.
At idle the video card's GPU temperature is just 34 degrees C, while at idle with Turbo on it is 34 degrees. The cooler as kept load temperatures very tame- stock load temperatures maxed out at 44 degrees and Turbo was 47 degrees.
The maximum overclock at which this card would run with any stability was 600/1150. Here the card was running at a steamy 49 degrees (at load) but there were no signs of artifacting. I sat down and played Day of Defeat: Source for thirty minutes at this overclock with no stability problems at all. When I went past this level, 625/1166 for example, and there was noticeable artifacting. Below is a chart of the overclocking frequencies and the observed changes in the 3dMark05 score.
Though the X800 GTO is not destined to be a super popular video card, its really too bad. HIS' IceQ Turbo configuration of the GTO, featuring the R480 core and a 256-bit memory bus, was able to deliver category leading performance, great overclocking, and near silent operation. It is really tough to beat. Unfortunately much of its spotlight has been stolen by all the talk about CrossFire missing in action and the release of the R520 and other X1K video cards.
It is hard to find problems with this HIS X800 GTO but there are some which should be mentioned. The first is availability- even when looking through HIS' "Where to Buy" section none could be found. There were a number of X800 GT Turbos, and I found one Sapphire X800 GTO, but no X800 GTO IceQ Turbos were available. The other issue with this card is that though it is the clear choice over cards over the current cards it may not fare so well against the X1600 which was slated to be released on October 5th. This new card features similiar specifications but with a few upgrades from the X800 line, including two more vertex engines.
Double Plus Good (+)
– Very good performance
– Great value
– Impressive overclocking
– Stays quiet and cool
Double Minus Bad (-)
– Takes up an extra slot
– Hard to find
– Can it beat the new comers?

They believe the 960 rare animals were destined to become delicacies served up by restaurants in the far-east.
Airport officials acting on a tip-off discovered the tortoises in the overhead locker of a plane that was about to leave the southern Indian city of Madras.
Two Indian men were arrested for attempting to smuggle the rare species out of the country.
Starry humps
According to wildlife warden K. Reddy, the men confessed to having caught the tortoises in forests in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.
Mr Reddy said the tortoises could be expected to fetch a million Indian rupees, or roughly 22,000 US dollars, amongst far-eastern consumers who value them as culinary delicacies and household pets.
He said over 2,100 star tortoises had been seized at Madras airport during the previous month and four arrests had been made.
The animals, which are indigenous to India, are protected by international conventions against hunting endangered species.
They get their name from the star-like patterns on the pyramidal humps along their shell.

Ok, I have started this in the coremath branch - it solves the warning issues we got since the merge of formatting stuff. I tested it on Linux, windows (both mingw and VS - still need to test on Win64), so I think it is good to go in the trunk.

For Xpmac, Xpmac.rev10 -h gives you the options to change. And putting them to the end of /etc/gdm/gdm.conf (where the [servers] section is, works if you run the Gnome Display Manager. Btw, I now have my font path fixed too! Since xpmac does not read the XF86Config file, I had to add the -fp unix/:7100 to gdm.conf to use the font server (and thus now I am able to add fonts to the font servers catalog.. phew.. finally everything seems to work fine :) Thanks for everyone who threw in the bits and pieces of info :) My gdm.conf now has this: --------8<- cut ----------- [servers] #0=/usr/bin/X11/X vt7 # <- the old line 0=/usr/bin/X11/X vt7 -middlekey 111 -rightkey 119 -nooptionmouse -once dpms +kb -fp unix/:7100 # this second line starts up :1 on vt8 # 1=/usr/bin/X11/X vt8 # <- stuff that also was there before.. ------- cut ->8------------ Note that the above must be on one line even though it wraps here. So what this does? -middlekey 111 -rightkey 119 Use F11 and F12 (on Pismo) for mousebuttons. Check your keycode by running xev and pressing keys on its window, reading the output from the terminal. You get KeyPress and KeyRelease events, the value for "keycode NNN" gives you the code you add to the -middlekey and -rightkey -options. -nooptionmouse I dont want to press Option-F12 to get mousebutton3. Too clunky :) -once This kills the server after I logout. Gdm will restart it for you anyway. dpms This should turn on VESA power manangement, but it doesnt seem to work in my Pismo..? +kb Enable the X Keyboard Extension - Someone had this in his example, so I kept it. Seems to work anyway :) -fp unix/:7100 This sets the FontPath to use the font server. If you install the xfs-xtt package, you can also use Truetype fonts in your system. Add the font paths to the font servers config file, in debian it is /etc/X11/xfs/config I hope this was useful for someone :) Tuomas -- .---> firstname.lastname@example.com . |\,/| firstname.lastname@example.com <-----. +----> www.helixcode.com - ()-@@ , tigert.gimp.org <----+ `-----> art director , `--')/ a gimp artist <---'

AHi all you wonderful cookie makers! Just spend my ENTIRE day in the kitchen making cookies. Never took that so serious before, as I only made them for fun and that's easy least, but hey, to make a tone of them, all same size, thickness AND decorated nicely?!? Am e-x-h-a-u-s-t-e-d! LOL. Respect to all of you
When my son was small, I used to make sugar cookie cutouts during Christmas. We decorated the cookies and it took a pretty much half a day which was normally on Saturdays. This was long before I got into decorating cakes as a hobby. We would just make the glaze icing and color it all different colors. It was always a special day when him and I would spend time in kitchen making those cookies.
I know what you mean about being exhausted. It is not as easy as it sounds!!!
We just made a small batch of sugar cookie dough this morning. I bet it will take HOURS to decorate with my 6 and 2 year old helping!
all the same thickness is easier then you think. You can use perfection strips such as these commercial ones: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006B4H5C/?tag=cakecentral-20
which I loved but found to be too short for my long cookie sheets. So I asked the hubby to cut me some 1/4 inch high about 24 inch long wood strips. They are awesome and make roll-out cookies a piece of cake.
i stack up rulers to roll my dough out between -- i use 2 stacks of two dedicated wooden rulers -- works great -- super inexpensive
I have a couple of acrylic strips taped together to make the thickness I like. I bought them years ago for marking different heights on the sides of cakes and hated them for that. The work a treat for rolling bickies to and even thickness, though.
AI saw a rolling pin at the supermarket the other day with adjustable hight wheels on the side for only 30$. What a bargain...not! Great idea with the taped rulers!!! Will use it next time.
AI spend a LOT of time at home Depot (I own a paint contracting co), & have found this to be the cheapest easiest way to ensure correct thickness in cookie dough. In the trim/molding Isle you can find wooden dowels, in any size that are square. I simply tape them to work surface & use them as guides. They are very cheap & you can customize their length to your work area. Hope that helps.
AIt is extremely time consuming if you do it all in one day but if you have make tons it's just like cakes - one thing on one day. Make, roll and freeze dough between wax paper one day. Cut and bake one day and freeze. Make and color royal icing night before you want to finish. Last day decorate and dry. No matter how you do it it takes a lot of time but I've found it more manageable to spread it out over time.

"There aren't many big names excluded, outside of some notables like Ric
Flair, Chris Jericho, Mick Foley, Kevin Nash, and Jerry "the King"
Just had to point out that Chris Jericho and Jerry Lawler have already been announced as DLC characters. So, they're on the way! Also, since this is a user review and not comments, I guess I'll say that I LOVE this game. I agree with GI's review, but I picked this up today after playing the heck out of the demo, and it's awesome. A more NFL Blitz-style approach to things is LONG overdue, and the execution in All Stars is spot on. The animations are much more responsive and snappier than any other wrestling/MMA/boxing game out there, and the animation blending - for reversals and counters - are probably the best I've seen in a fighting game save for Dead or Alive. This game just "feels" spot on, and is MUCH more fun to play than "sim" wrestling games from the past 3 console generations. The lack of options seem like it'll sting a bit once the thrill wears off, and the lack of a tutorial is MIND BOGGLING (especially since this is meant to appeal to "WWE newbies" somewhat), so that's not cool, and should be corrected in sequels. But the core game is so fun that it shouldn't be TOO big of a problem if you have competition to play with, and you make sure to learn the reversals. At least it's nice that it "trains" you to do it when button prompts flash in the corners of the screen.
Bravo THQ San Diego. Like the Miz, this game is AWWWWWWEEEEESOOOOOMMMEEE!
I don't agree. I give it a 6.50 at best.
