EXCLUSIVE: Stranger pays £80 fine slapped on Good Samaritan who rescued dog
A KIND Daily Express reader is to pay an £80 fine slapped on a Good Samaritan when he reunited a lost dog with its disabled owner.
Marc with son Rupert at playing fields where warden fined him
We told last week how Marc Harrison, 37, spotted Bobby the terrier roaming. He called a phone number on the pet's collar and offered to meet up and return it.
But as Marc and Bobby waited in a park playing field in Heysham, Lancs, a "jobsworth" warden issued a ticket – claiming dogs are not allowed there.
Dad-of-one Marc, an NHS nursing assistant from Lancaster, said an appeal to the local council was refused.
He added: "I was only there two or three minutes. The warden never gave me a chance to explain."
But a dog lover from Hastings, East Sussex, was so appalled after reading of Marc's treatment she stepped in to stump up the money.
I just can't bear injustice. The decent thing would be to waive the fine
The 61-year-old has asked to be named only as Vanessa to avoid overshadowing Marc's good deed.
She told the Daily Express: "I just can't bear injustice. The decent thing would be to waive the fine.
"Sometimes people with power use it the wrong way. I don't like bullies and jobsworths.
"As a retired mental health worker I know how valuable pets are to elderly and disabled people. This poor man tried to do good and has been punished for it."
Bobby's grateful owner, Robert Claxton, 72, said: "He was only in that field because it was an easy place for me to pick up my dog."
Marc said of Vanessa's offer: "I'm delighted. It's very kind of her." Lancaster City Council, which owns the park, declined to comment.

UPDATE: The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill by a 306-117 vote Thursday. The bill now heads to President Obama's desk.
Looks like we're finally getting GMO labels on food products—just not the kind you can actually read.
President Obama is expected to throw his weight behind a controversial bill that allows businesses to use a smartphone scannable QR code instead of clear, concise wording that informs consumers if a product contains genetically modified ingredients. The bill would also nullify state-by-state GMO labeling mandates such as Vermont's landmark law that took effect on July 1.
"While there is broad consensus that foods from genetically engineered crops are safe, we appreciate the bipartisan effort to address consumers' interest in knowing more about their food, including whether it includes ingredients from genetically engineered crops," White House spokeswoman Katie Hill told Bloomberg in an e-mail. "We look forward to tracking its progress in the House and anticipate the president would sign it in its current form."
The House of Representatives is voting today on legislation from the Senate, which voted 63 to 30in favor of the bill on July 7, less than a week after Vermont enacted its GMO label law. The bipartisan "compromise" bill was conceived after years of negotiations by Democrat Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Republican Sen. Pat Roberts and is supported by the very industry that produces and profits from such products, including the powerful Grocery Manufactures Association and world's largest seed producer and pesticide giant Monsanto.
Yesterday, the House voted 242-185 on a rules resolution to bar amendments to the bill, meaning it would not have to go back to the Senate. After the House vote today, Congress will be on summer recess until Sept. 8.
Some House Democrats have criticized the bill.
"In order to access the information through the QR code, an individual must have a smartphone and must have access to the internet," Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) said during a floor debate Wednesday, reported The Hill. "The reality is that not every American has access to a smartphone or the internet," he said, adding that consumers who do have a smartphone would have to painstakingly scan every item they'd like to purchase to see if it contains GMOs.
Many consumer and environmental groups have nicknamed the looming mandate as the "Deny Americans the Right to Know," or DARK Act, as the bill goes against the majority of Americans who support clear labeling for GMOs.
While the influential Organic Trade Association (OTA) unexpectedly endorsed the Stabenow-Roberts bill, the group's backing has been viewed as highly suspicious. Just yesterday, the farmer-controlled Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association announced that it withdrew membership from the OTA, citing "betrayal" over the "Monsanto-backed" bill.
The group also accused the OTA's board members of endorsing a "dangerous" Senate bill as, "recent revelations have made clear that the OTA has created numerous close partnerships with Monsanto including intensive lobbying efforts by the notorious biotech-linked lobbyist Podesta Group on behalf of the deal brokered by Senators Stabenow (D-MI) and Roberts (R-KS)."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also expressed concern that the Roberts-Stabenow bill is ridden with loopholes. In its technical comments, the FDA pointed out that the bill has a narrow and ambiguous definition of "bioengineering" that would exempt many foods from GMO sources.
Stabenow has brushed aside the FDA assessment. According to Politico, "she asked the USDA, which will be tasked with implementing the measure, to respond to the FDA assessment's major points … The USDA's general counsel [said in a letter that] regulatory officials will follow the spirit of the law when crafting rules and require labeling of all GMO ingredients that gain USDA approval as well as those developed with novel technologies."
Still, the bill even has conservative critics. Right wing think tank Heritage Foundation came up withsix problems with the labeling bill, with one reason being the "implication is that there's something wrong with [genetically modified] crops."
Despite its flaws, it appears that the bill will soon land on President Obama's desk, as the Republican-controlled House is likely in favor of passage. Last year, the House voted 275-150 to pass an anti-labeling bill.
Bloomberg reported that Republican Mike Conaway of Texas, the chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, has indicated his support of the bill meaning that it will likely pass the lower chamber.
Conaway and House Ag Committee ranking member Collin Peterson told Agri-Pulse that they expect a majority of both Republicans and Democrats to vote for the legislation on final passage. Agri-Pulse noted, however, that the final GMO bill is bunched with "a far more controversial abortion-related measure that Democrats broadly oppose," so stayed tuned for how the final vote tallies.
Meanwhile, a number of major food companies such as General Mills, Campbell Soup, Kellogg, Conagra Foods and Mars have voluntarily added GMO labels on their packages. This marks a larger trend of businesses complying with consumer demand of transparency and organic food.
Sales from organic farms across the country have boomed in recent years, with consumer spending up 72 percent since 2008. Just yesterday, the meat brand Applegate announced its commitment of removing GMOs from its entire supply chain, from animal feed to finished product and gain third-party certification.
Today, yogurt maker Dannon announced that its products in the U.S. that have GMO ingredients will be clearly labeled and has unveiled its first Dannon and Oikos branded products containing more natural and non-GMO ingredients.
"Shoppers are our main ingredient, and what is important to them drives what we do. For this reason, the range of products we make is evolving to provide even more choices," said Dannon CEO Mariano Lozano. "Transparency is the key word for this shift. To show to our consumers that in order to make a real choice, we need clear labels, today we are making a bold change and candidly discussing how transparency from brands is essential for shoppers to make real choices."
Environmental Working Group's President Ken Cook agrees. "While we support a national, mandatory GMO labeling system, we cannot support this proposal because food companies would be permitted to make a GMO disclosure through a means that is unavailable or unfamiliar to many Americans," he said.
"While the proposal clearly intends to require a disclosure on more foods than are covered by state GMO labeling laws, we are concerned that loopholes could undermine Congress' intent."

Hi Friends!
I've doubt in SV regarding enum datatype. pls check the statements below.
ncelab: *W,ENUMERR : This assignment is a violation of SystemVerilog strong typing rules for enumeration datatypes.
My code for this goes here for the reference:
typedef enum bit { PASSIVE=0, ACTIVE=1 } active_passive_e;
parameter active_passive_e masters_active_passive = {ACTIVE};
defparam master.active_passive = masters_active_passive// My error is in this line
//Code ends here
Can anyone help me in resolving the issue? What is the error and how shud I solve my problem?
Thanks in advance!
Please note that it is a warning and not an error and therefore your code will still work.However, to get rid of the warning, you can either remove the {} surrounding the assignment: parameter active_passive_e masters_active_passive = ACTIVE;or remove the type definition: parameter masters_active_passive = {ACTIVE};Tim
Thanks alot Tim....

USB Flash Drive Performance
I have 3 Usb 2.0 drives. A 16GB Kingston, 8GB PNY and a 4GB PNY. When I copy a 1GB file I the Kingston runs at 10 MB/s for the first 30% of the file then drops off to 5 MB/s. The 8GB PNY has consistent 10 MB/s transfer speed. The 4GB runs at 5 MB/s.
All 3 run at ~25 MB/s when copying back to computer.
If flash just stores on memory internally, then why the speed difference?
Thought it might be USB protocol overhead but copying back to computer they run about the same.

Different drives use different chips and different controllers for those chips. Not all flash drives are created the same. You also didn't mention how the drives are formatted, which could potentially affect performance as well.
As for the speeds copying back to your computer, that is probably governed more by the USB ports. Most likely, those flash drives all have higher read speeds than your USB ports support, so they all top out at the same speed. Typically, in any kind of flash memory, read speeds are higher than write speeds.

Depending on pricing, one "trick" you can do is buy a USB 3.0 flash drive. They are backward compatible. My USB 3.0 ports are in the back of the machines and the PCs are on the floor. I use them for docking stations. I bought an A-Data USB 3.0 32 GB flash drive a year or so ago. When I plug it in to a USB 2.0 port 1 GB file writes are typically about 25 MB/s. When plugged into USB 3.0 similar writes are 35 MB/s. I'm sure there are faster ones around now.
|My System Specs
|04 Sep 2012
The 16GB and 8GB are NTFS. The 4GB is FAT32. I would agree that higher capacity drives would/should be faster except for the 16GB Kingston. It slows to 5MB write speed after about 100MB of transfer. Like it has cache.
Thanks for the responses. Guess it is like race cars. All are fast, some are faster.

Another day…another celebrity checks themselves into rehab. It is such a given in the world of celebrity that it's almost part of the whole fame game. It goes a little something like this – rise to prominence, relax in the limelight for a while, find your career fading, start acting out, do something stupid, enter rehab, get that much desired second chance from the fanbase.
Rehab Is For Anyone Who Is Suffering
It's all part of one big push for forgiveness, and publicity, and it usually works. The public forgives, the reinvention works, and the former famous face gets their spot on the red carpet back – or at least one near the place they usually spoke to the media from.
Celebrities Seem To Enter It Regularly
For Selena Gomez, however, rehab isn't about drugs or bad behavior. The singer, whose career has been in high gear ever since her start on the kid's show Barney and Friends, has been battling lupus. She also told fans that she has been dealing with intense mental health issues, including "anxiety, panic attacks and depression."
Selena Gomez Checked Herself In Recently
This was back on August 30, and it caused her to cancel the remaining dates on her recent world tour in support of her album Revival. This isn't her first trip into treatment. In 2014, after being diagnosed with the chronic autoimmune disease, she entered a facility to help with her health. This time around, friends and family are providing support.
She Is Battling Mental Health Issues And Is Seeking Help
She Has The Full Support Of Her Family

Hello fellow chowhounds,
I feel compelled to do a write up on my experience at this restaurant last week.
First off, i went this place after reading someones post on here who claimed this place was up there with Sukhothai.......LOL...
We ordered a medium Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai and Beef Lettuce Wraps, they offered free "vegetarian spring rolls" with our order.
The soup was the best part which doesn't say much because the soup base for sure wasn't made with broth as the flavor was weak. Two tiny shrimps that didn't taste fresh and overall just mediocre.
It gets worse.
The Pad Thai was terrible, sauce was way too liquidy and no flavor. THere were maybe 3 or 4 little pieces of chicken and tofu and again a couple of small overcooked shrimp....
The spring rolls were these 2 fat disgusting rolls, dripping with oil. THe contents..... vermicelli...that's it. They were the absolute worst spring rolls I've ever had...not even close....Thanks for the freebie!!
It gets worse...
The lettuce wrap was literally a few spoonfuls of ground meat surrounded with a ton of raw green and rep pepper!!!! WTF????
True thai lettuce wraps have 90% meat..mint , lime and some thinly sliced red onion....
You couldn't even wrap the mixture with the lettuce because the massive chunks of raw pepper got in the way!!!!
Anyways i told the server that this gui lau knew what a lettuce wrap was and they should be embarrrased for serving this food.
I'll never go back and hopefully anyone who reads the other post reads this one as well and saves themselves the aggravation I experienced.

News :
South Sydney flyer Alex Johnston admits he has to toughen up mentally before he's handed a State of Origin debut.
Johnston was overlooked by Blues coach Laurie Daley for the opening two games of this year's series despite making his first Test appearance earlier in the year.
It is considered a question of when not if the 20-year-old will be selected for his state.
Daley is unlikely to be ringing the changes after winning Origin II last Wednesday to square the series.
And while it looks like Johnston will have to wait another year, he said he was going to use that time to steel himself and get his game up to Origin standard.

ATLANTA - Georgia would join a growing list of states with uniform regulations governing sports agents under legislation passed overwhelmingly by the House Thursday.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Alan Powell, D-Hartwell, would require agents to register with the secretary of state's office, provide a standard agent contract form for student-athletes and establish civil and criminal penalties for agents who don't follow the rules.
''This is letting the students know what the recourse is if they sign up with a professional athletic team,'' Powell said.
It would give colleges and universities the right to sue student-athletes or agents if they commit violations that harm the school, including damages from lost revenue caused by NCAA-imposed sanctions.

Danica Patrick unveiled her splashy new car in New York's Times Square, its bright green, black and orange color scheme right at home with the flashy billboards and lights above.
A car with fenders could be next for IndyCar's most marketable star.
Patrick signed a three-year contract extension with Andretti Autosport on Monday, a deal that could pave the way for the open-wheel star's desired foray into NASCAR.
"When there are more races on the schedule, my life almost feels more predictable," Patrick said during a segment on Fox News. "I'd be excited about the challenge. We'll see."
Patrick and team owner Michael Andretti announced the deal during a segment on Good Morning America , appearing together with her No. 7 GoDaddy.com Dallara-Honda.
The deal reportedly had been in the works for weeks, held up by Patrick's previous sponsorship deal with Motorola and a change in ownership with her team.
Andretti Autosport finished its restructuring last week, changing its name from Andretti Green Racing after Michael Andretti purchased the team from Kim Green and Kevin Savoree, who have taken control of the promotions side of the company.
The IRL deal done, Patrick might be free to turn her attention to a NASCAR ride.
JR Motorsports appears to be the most likely suitor.
A deal for a limited Nationwide Series schedule with the team owned by Rick Hendrick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. reportedly was in the final stages before the IRL deal was signed. There also have been rumors that Patrick will drive a handful of ARCA races.
JR Motorsports already has a sponsorship deal with GoDaddy.com for its No. 88 Chevrolet Nationwide car and announced in September that the Web giant will be the primary sponsor of Mark Martin's No. 5 Sprint Cup car. Earlier Monday, an image of Patrick wearing a race suit with JR Motorsports and Chevy logos reportedly appeared briefly on her Web site before being taken down.
"I know everyone wants to know that," Patrick said on Fox News. "I love to drive. I love to race. If I got the chance to run both series, I'd love that. If we were announcing (NASCAR), we'd be here with two cars. We've been working on it."
Patrick signed with the Andretti Autosport before the 2007 season and became the first woman to win an IndyCar Series race at the 2008 Japan Indy 300. She also was the first woman to lead the Indianapolis 500 (in 2005) and was third there this season on the way to finishing fifth in the IRL season championship.
Patrick's new deal runs through 2012.
"All of us at Andretti Autosport are looking forward to having Danica back with the team and are excited about working with (CEO) Bob Parsons and everyone at GoDaddy as the primary sponsor on Danica's car," Michael Andretti said in a statement.
The NASCAR season starts in February with the Daytona 500, and the 17-race IRL season begins March 14 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
If Patrick chooses to do both, she'll certainly draw attention from sponsors. Some NASCAR drivers have warned about the difficulties of switching to stock cars, though most seem to be in favor of her joining the circuit.
Tony Stewart has won two Sprint Cup championships since leaving open-wheel racing, but Dario Franchitti went back to the IRL after an unsuccessful stint in NASCAR and three-time IndyCar champ Sam Hornish Jr. hasn't sniffed a win since crossing over. Former Formula One star Juan Pablo Montoya won a race as a NASCAR rookie, but didn't find consistent success until his third season.

Help! I accidentally unplugged my AT&T U-Verse cable box the other day from the wall outlet and now my TV won't work. There is a light on the box that just keeps flashing and my tv displays a blank screen with just like a cog/tool picture on it. I know it has to be the AT&T box because my TV works fine, and I can still hook my DVD player up. Anyone have this issue before or do I need to call AT&T? Thanks!
Depending on how your Uverse TV service was set up, it could be connected to the wall via a coaxial cable. Try plugging it back in on the wall and then press the power button on your receiver (cable box) for 5 seconds. It will reboot. The sequence is like this: 3 white dots, "Rethink Possible" then "AT&T U-verse" logo with a spinning circle. Just wait a few moments and it should get you to a screen that says "Press OK to watch TV". If you get the gear again, call 800 288 2020. Just tell the representative that you have a spinning cogwheel/gear on your TV screen. They'll be able to figure it out.

Alaskan Malamute Guide
Working Dog Breeds
Watch All Breed Videos: A - K | L - Z
The Alaskan malamute is a powerfully built dog of Nordic breed type, developed to haul heavy loads rather than race. It is slightly longer than it is tall. It is heavy-boned and compact, designed for strength and endurance. Its gait is steady, balanced and tireless. Its coat is thick and double, with a coarse outer coat and dense, wooly, oily undercoat, providing the ultimate in insulation. Although its eyes have a "wolf-like" appearance, its expression is soft.
The Alaskan malamute is powerful, independent, strong-willed and fun-loving. Its idea of great fun is to pull a sled or cart, but it also loves to run and roam. It is family-oriented, and as long as it is given daily exercise, it is well-mannered in the home. Without proper exercise, it can become frustrated and destructive. It is friendly and sociable toward people, but it may be aggressive toward strange dogs, pets or livestock. Some can be domineering. It tends to dig and howl.

The Alaskan malamute loves cold weather and especially loves to haul a sled through the snow. It can run for miles and needs to have adequate exercise every day, either in the form of a long walk on leash or the opportunity to run or mush. It can live outdoors in temperate to cold climates, but it does better inside during warm weather. Its coat needs brushing once or twice a week more often when shedding. Major concerns: CHD, ChD, cataracts
Minor concerns: renal cortical hypoplasia
Occasionally seen: gastric torsion
Suggested tests: hip, eye, ChD clear rating
Life span: 10 12 years
Like most of the dogs of the spitz family, the Alaskan malamute evolved in the Arctic regions, shaped by the adverse climatic conditions. Its origin is unknown, but it was first described living among the native Inuit people known as the Mahlemuts, who lived along Norton Sound on Alaska's northwest coast. The word Mahlemut comes from Mahle, an Inuit tribe name, and mut, meaning village. The dogs served as hunting partners for big game (such as seals and polar bears), and hauled the heavy carcasses back home. These dogs were, of necessity, large and strong rather than fast, enabling one dog to do the work of many smaller dogs. They were an essential cog in the Inuits' lives and were treated almost as one of the family, although they were never pampered as pets. The unforgiving environment meant that a less than optimal dog would probably not have been kept. When the first outside explorers came to the region in the 1700s, they were impressed not only by the hardy dog but also by their owners' obvious attachment to them. With the discovery of gold in 1896, a flood of outsiders came to Alaska; for entertainment, they staged weight-pulling contests and races among their dogs. The native breeds were interbred with each other and those brought by settlers, often in an attempt to create a faster racer or simply to provide the vast numbers of dogs needed to supply the gold rush. The pure malamute was in danger of being lost. In the 1920s, a New England dog-racing enthusiast obtained some good specimens and began to breed traditional malamutes. As the breed's reputation grew, some were chosen to help Adm. Byrd in his 1933 trek to the South Pole. During World War II, malamutes were once again called into service, this time to serve as freight haulers, pack animals and search-and-rescue dogs. In 1935, the breed received AKC recognition and began a new phase as an imposing show dog and loyal pet.

Pendragon, who operate the Evans Halshaw and Stratstone brands, has released annual results for 2016 showing used vehicle revenue up +9.5% , Aftersales revenue up +7.3%, and new vehicle revenue up +3.1% (all on a like for like basis).
In 2016 Pendragon recorded an underlying profit before tax increase of 7.6%. The group's revenue grew by £83.1 million, up 1.9% on the prior year, mainly due to increased contributions from the used vehicle department. On a like for like basis revenues by 5.9%. The Group maintained gross margin at 12.3%.
Used revenues for Pendragon have grown by 64% in 5 years at a compound annual growth rate of 10.4%. The Group sold 159,000 used vehicles in 2016. With its revenue streams developing in this manner it is perhaps not a surprise that the group also sets out a strategic goal to double used revenue in 5 years.
Trevor Finn, Chief Executive commented: "Future growth will be driven by our initiatives, our investment in additional physical capacity for used car sales and by our strategic advantages in IT and intellectual property. We believe that we can achieve at least double digit growth in used revenue in 2017 and our aspiration over the next five years is to double our used vehicle revenue.
In order to test this, during the final quarter of 2016 we invested in inventory and adjusted our algorithms and marketing initiatives with a view to driving growth in used vehicle activity levels to test the capacity of our current footprint."
The group's results statement outlines a strategy of "Investment in additional physical capacity for used vehicle sales continues so that we can achieve at least double digit growth in used vehicle revenue in 2017".
More specifically Pendragon outlines that it will "be opening five sites in the first half of 2017 and have five sites actively being pursued for the second half of 2017. This investment will take place over the coming four year period and is expected to amount to approximately £100 million in total investment since initiation in 2015 (assuming all additional sites are freehold)."
With regard to new vehicle retail, Pendragon, unlike many industry commentators, is predicting a stable market in 2017: "we believe the new car market is more likely to be flat in 2017 than the 5% reduction that is forecast. This is due to the continuing ready availability of consumer finance and the fact that markets in the rest of the world are still comparatively weak. Moderate increases are expected in the long term due to increases in car ownership and population growth."
Summarizing Pendragon's outlook for 2017, the group's statement said: "We are focussed on our strategy of gaining market share in the used and aftersales markets. We believe there will be growth in the used and aftersales markets with marginal growth in the new vehicle market in 2017."

You have gone through all the steps, used the GI Bill to the fullest and are enrolled in college, but you find yourself sitting in the classroom and things just do not feel right. With all the paperwork and preparation it took you to get you there, you never thought of HOW it would feel actually being in class. You never thought about how it would feel to be surrounded by kids fresh out of high school, to be surrounded by civilians instead of soldiers. You never thought about how it would feel to realize you are the oldest person in class, the only one with a family and potentially the only veteran in the room.
First, lets start off with this: we commend you here at RallyPoint for taking charge of your future and going back to school. For anyone who has been out in the academia world, it is hard to transition back. Never doubt yourself because you are going to do great.
Lets discuss some of what you are feeling:
You are the Oldest Person in Class: You find yourself sitting a classroom sitting with all 18-year-olds and you suddenly feel how much older you are. Rather than focus on your age, use this as an opportunity to share everything you learned while serving. You will be surprised how many of your peers will value your service and respect you for wanting to further your education.
Change of Technology: Depending on how old you are, along with when you graduated high school, technology is heavily involved in the classroom. If you are not use to this, have no fear. There are so many different outlets to help you learn how to use a new laptop or specific programs like Excel, such as YouTube.
No one Understands You: Most of the student population will not have the same experience you have had, and you might find you have a different work ethic than them. All of this is not a reason for you to not try to build relationships with them. They just come from a different place and still have a lot to offer. A great thing to do once you've picked your school is reach out to the veterans group on campus, this way you can connect to other veterans.
Staying Focused: Do you find it hard to focus in class? Thinking what is for dinner or what you are going to do with your family this weekend or your friends? When you are in class, be in class mentally and physically. You have an amazing opportunity to go back to school and better yourself. So when you are there, be there. It is impossible to not be distracted from time to time, but use what the military taught you and stay focused, finish strong and all the hard work will pay off.
Changing your Mindset: It can be extremely difficult to change your thinking patterns. You are out of the military, you are going to school and you are a civilian and it can be a challenge to change your mindset to that. Think of school as fresh start. Transitioning by going back to school gives you freedom to slowly adjust. It isn't a race. Go at your own pace and embrace the student life…Who doesn't love an all-nighter?
It is hard to be back in the classroom when you find yourself dealing with outside factors such as family stressors or being the oldest person in the classroom, but remember why you are there, you are doing this for yourself and your future. We support you at RallyPoint, and if you ever need some words of encouragement or some friendly distraction, RallyPoint is great for that.
See what your fellow members suggest for going back to school here and connect within in the military community.

So, we'll see how during the base game Dreaming Shepherd is often awakened by his alarm clock, and it is when some of our ordinary symbols are randomly converted into wilds, contributing significantly to the sustainability of our balance while we are expecting the main feature of the game to happen.
The main feature is a round of free spins which has two variants called "Toss N Turn Bonus" and "Wild Dream Bonus," in both, spaces where the shepherd's body is lying on, they are turned into wild symbols on each of the spins, in the first round the shepherd appears lying horizontally on the reels providing us with better opportunities to hit longer lines while in the second he appears occupying the space of an entire reel vertically, but in this latter we get a greater number of free spins and, in the end, our total winnings during both features often reach similar amounts.
Personally, my winnings during these couple of rounds have fluctuated in a range between 14 and 34 times my total bet, and I know this does not sound like a big prize, but I think wins of this size may be sufficient to give us the chance to be victorious in this slot since the average income from payouts obtained during the base game is usually quite reasonable.
In my opinion "Dreams of Fortune" has proved to be a fun and fair game as well, and although I do not think this is the type of slot that allows you to make a fortune just in a single shot, I think it is a slot that allows you to get reasonable profits through implementation of a good strategy involving bet levels management; I even think it is quite likely that you are also able to perceive as real the theoretical RTP of 96.02%, which is a pretty good percentage for a video slot from my point of view.

In some situations, it would be nice to be able to merge reports that belong to different packages. For example, when a bug in package libfoo causes a problem with package bar (where it is non-obvious that the problem is caused by libfoo), a bug could remain open against bar (merged with the appropriate report against libfoo) to prevent users from filing new bugs against bar and give them a status update on when the problem with bar will go away. True, this would cause a bug to remain open against a package that does not contain a bug per se, but if you view bugs as "problem reports", this is valid. -- - mdz

It may seem odd to call a book about writing "ruthless," but that is my lasting impression of Lynn Freed's splendid new work, "Reading, Writing...
"Reading, Writing and Leaving Home: Life on the Page"
by Lynn Freed
Harcourt, 237 pp., $22
It may seem odd to call a book about writing "ruthless," but that is my lasting impression of Lynn Freed's splendid new work, "Reading, Writing, and Leaving Home." She describes writers as "natural murderers" in their approach to storytelling. If true revelation in fiction is "done right," she insists, "someone will be hurt."
The author of five novels and a short-story collection, Freed was born and raised in Durban, South Africa, in an educated and privileged family. She later migrated to the United States.
In 11 distinct essays, Freed writes with humor and intensity about disparate parts of her life, all informing who she is as a writer (this is the book's narrative thread): her parents and sisters, her self-imposed exile in America, and in one of the final chapters, a lovely image of her childhood house.

- Residents fight Seattle rules allowing apartment developers to forgo parking
- Seattle's crazy restaurant boom | PNW Magazine VIEW
- Cleveland Browns waive Kasen Williams, could a return to Seahawks be in the offing?
- UW's Azeem Victor suspended indefinitely after arrest
She returns to her thoughts on writing fiction repeatedly, perhaps because the process has been so mysterious and elusive to her. Even though she is a longtime teacher of writing (now at the University of California, Davis), her own experience as a novelist undermines her profession. "Writing cannot be taught," she says.
Difficult as it may be, the novel writer must reject anything short of the truth, no matter how ugly or discomfiting. Freed writes: "Little in this so-called process fits the modern idea of the writer-as-good-citizen — that midlist, pension-minded, smilingly affirmative, steadily productive, properly reviewed, ethnically overplayed, and, in the main, rather innocuous collegiate schlep … The real writer, by contrast, is a moral reprobate … If this is not the case, writing degenerates into a form of advertisement, and art itself is corrupted."
One of her few false notes — ironic because it is a story in a book about writing stories — is an essay about her ex-husband's thunderous snoring, but otherwise Freed never strays far from her fierce devotion to the art and hard work of writing.

Celebrating excellence
CBC Fremantle community gathered this morning to celebrate the exceptional achievement of its students, including nine of the Class of 2016.
At the assembly, seven of last year's cohort who achieved an ATAR of above 95 were welcomed into the College's 95 Academic Club, an extraordinary effort that places the young men in the top five percent of the entire state.
The newest members of the 95 Academic Club are:
- Riley Faulds
- Conor Hars
- Jack Bowater
- Keane Bourke
- Emmanuel Terzoudis-Lumsden
- Ryan Pace
- Yusef Hourani.
Last year's College Captain, Riley Faulds, was also recognised by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) for achieving the highest ATAR examination mark for Religion and Life in the state.
The assembly also recognised nine members of the Class of 2016 who achieved a Certificate of Distinction, which is awarded by SCSA to students who achieve 20 A grades during Years 11 and 12.
Continuing to acknowledge the quest for personal excellence, the assembly concluded with Ms Marilyn Schmidt presenting 70 members of the Academic Excellence Programme (AEP). Boys who achieve scores in the top 15% of their cohort in at least three of their core subjects and invited to join the AEP, which provides students with further challenges in eight areas of learning.
The College encourages boys to strive for personal excellence in every aspect of their education at the College.

Innovative. Effective. Sustainable.
Pure Polar Laboratories has developed the World's First Omega-3 Shrimp Oil dietary supplement. Pure Polar Shrimp Oil delivers more natural astaxanthin and omega-3s than competitor krill oil brands in a unique phospholipid formulation for easy absorption to the body's cells and tissues.
That's only part of the story.
When we set out to bring Pure Polar premium products to market, we were hoping to achieve a very important goal: the creation of a product that was not only innovative, safe and effective in terms of providing a wide range of heart health, anti-inflammatory and cell maintenance benefits, but one that would be sustainable to the environment, as well.
To meet this task, our in-house scientists started from the inside out – looking at the human body, its cells and membranes, and what nutrients they need for optimum health. From there, we designed a product that would meet those needs on a cellular level, providing a maximum amount of nutrients to benefit the cells in our body. The end result of all this research and development was an intelligently and sustainably produced product that offers the best value of any omega-3 supplement on the market.
Every product we manufacture is rigorously tested for potency, purity, and consistency.
This rigorous testing ensures that you're getting exactly what's on the label of every bottle of Pure Polar Shrimp Oil. It's all part of our mission to provide consumers with the natural solutions they need to achieve health and wellness. Our core vision is to bring natural health solutions into the everyday lives of people based on the most innovative science and technology available, with the integrity and transparency you would expect from a manufacturer of premium health supplements.
By providing an improved, sustainable alternative to other sources of omega-3 oils such as fish and krill, plus a product that naturally delivers 10 times more of the crucial antioxidant astaxanthin, in a phospholipid suspension that offers superior absorption into the human body, we are achieving that goal every day.
The Pure Polar team is dedicated to helping you build a strong, healthy foundation for life, with the highest quality nutritional supplements and health products currently on the market.
If you have any questions about our omega-3 and antioxidant-rich shrimp oil products, please contact us.

"But by now we have to conclude that it's been worse this time, and not only because the Tea Party's forebears never got a fraction of the influence within the GOP that it now has. The threat of modernity that Sullivan points to is, for these people, all too real. The world is leaving them behind. And that cosmopolitan, multiracial man in the White House became the embodiment of everything they fear."

While the landscape looked intriguing so did one particular place, Ardvreck Castle. A ruin on the edge of the lake and fairly close to the road. It is one of many castle ruins to see in Scotland but something about it kept drawing me back to looking at pictures of it.
|The haunted castle on Halloween
At first my plan was to stay for a few hours and then head back to some mountains I wanted to photograph, but the light was great and the castle kept revealing different views to me, that I stayed and stayed right to sunset.
|Wild Country of Assynt
So here I am alone, under brooding skies, at a haunted castle on Halloween.
This is fun!
As the night swept across the land and the darkness set in, I set up to make images of the castle in the dark. At first I was photographing the castle across the water but then I went up to it, set up the camera on the intervalometer to do shots one after the other. Then I set out to walk around the castle in the dark occasionally lighting it with my flashlight.
|Brooding skies and rain
The next day dawned with sun and rain that I watched near Stac Polly. Standing in the rain watching a sunrise is such a Scottish thing. A day then spent hiking in the rain. I started on the trail to Suilven but the constant rain made travel tough and hid the mountain again and again. I decided better to find drier places and gave up on a 12+ mile hike. This is something I need to consider overnighting the next trip.
After a day in the rain I welcomed the chance to camp at Altandhu and a hot shower. Cooking Scotch Broth in the wind and rain and falling asleep to the wind, rain and crashing waves.
|Suilven rises in the distance
Rainbows, clouds, wind, rain, fall color, red deer, brooding skies. I saw it all.
Again, I found it an intriguing area and one that needed more time on a future visit.
I wrapped up my days in the north thinking three nights in an area was just not enough time and I should have stayed for three weeks.

Two people are facing gun charges after a search warrant was executed at an apartment in New York Saturday night turned up two firearms.
Although details of the search warrant are unknown, officers discovered a loaded 9mm Smith & Wesson and a .22-caliber semi automatic with features consistent with that of an assault rifle, including a 30-round magazine. The 9mm was believed to be stolen, as the serial numbers were scratched off. More than 100 rounds of ammunition tucked away in a bag and an extra box of 9mm rounds were located in a bedroom. Also found in the apartment was a small amount of marijuana.
Jaquan Flagg and Shamira Howard, both 32 years old, were arrested on two counts of illegal gun possession.
Flagg was released from Manhattan's Lincoln Correctional Facility in 2011 after serving two years for weapons-related charges. Flagg was on parole following his release and, in fact, had just successfully completed his parole on Oct. 21, less than a month before he was arrested again.

Alex DemyanNapoleon's Cupola 2016
Built in 1814 by then Mayor Nicholas Girod , the three story structure was crowned with a cupola no doubt to offer The Mayor a fine view of his new Orleans dominion.
Then , in 1821, the ex Mayor offered his home as a refuge to his hero Napoleon Bonaparte as part of a plot to rescue the ex French Emperor from exile on the island of Saint Helena.
Had the plot succeeded, Napoleon too would have made good use of the view from cupola, surveying his new home in New Orleans while keeping a wary eye on the Mississippi River for threats from his enemies - the British and their allies.
The plot never materialized, but the name stuck and one of the finest examples of French influenced architecture will always remain "Napoleon's House".

I am a full-time freelance photographer specializing in digital photography in New Orleans.
My career can be divided into 2 distinct chapters. During my editorial phase I had thousands of images published worldwide and was the featured photographer of local publications such as "New Orleans Magazine," " Where Magazine" and "Louisiana Life Magazine" .
The focus of my career as a strictly editorial photographer was changed nearly overnight by two great tectonic shifts - the digital camera and Hurricane Katrina.
The decline in New Orleans tourism and conventions after Katrina collapsed the demand for both stock and editorial services.
Digital Photography likewise put into motion market forces that threatened the careers of many editorial photographers, but also bore the seeds of my rebirth as a Fine Art Photographer.
Today I produce photographs destined more for the frame and less the printed page. Software and an imagination unbounded by the strict limits of the editorial world have allowed me to take photography to a new dimension that is still believable and true to my roots as a traditional photographer.
Alex Demyan is a New Orleans artist living and working in Kenner.

We stayed here for Thanksgiving and found the hotel very convenient. The rooms are very clean and nicely decorated. It is right on the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail and walking distance to the train station, the very interesting C&O Canal museum and downtown pedestrian area. Nice pool area and hot tub.
A few issues: breakfast both Friday & Sat. (esp. Fri. 11/23) were chaotic. Not enough chairs, people eating standing up, some items ran out. We went down at 8:45 (it closed at 9); my husband got the last hard boiled egg and last yogurt. No staff in sight to ask for help. Trash cans overflowing. We finally got a seat when someone left. Just not a pleasant experience. The lounge is set up more for esthetics than practicality - several curving couches and low tables that take up space rather than provide comfortable eating area for the large crowds.
That morning we were also awakened at 8:30 by a knock on the door from the cleaning staff. Never had that happen so early before - was very annoying as we were still in bed. There was no "Do Not Disturb" sign in the room - we later asked for one so this wouldn't happen the next day. The front desk said that the "cleaners start at 8 AM" - didn't think knocking at 8:30 was unusual, apparently.
The front desk was under-staffed. Usually only one person working or sometimes no one; had to wander around looking for help. Clerks were pleasant when found, fortunately. I wanted to give feedback at check-out when the clerk asked "was everything OK?" but she was on the phone, a customer was waiting and there was no one to give feedback to easily.
All said, we would still stay there again and it clearly is the nicest hotel in Cumberland and in a very good location.

General Question
Is it healthy to keep your house cold all the time?
Asked by wtfrickinfrack (1347) February 7th, 2010
My grandmother has pretty severe asthma and finds it difficult to breathe when she gets overheated in the least. Because of this she keeps her house as cold as possible 24/7. She is always wrapped up in a blanket and shivering (and all of her guests, might I add). Is it healthy to be this cold all the time?

Portland Timbers striker Fanendo Adi has made a good impression since joining the team on loan in May. Now, he's set to stay for good.
The Timbers announced on Monday that the club has exercised the purchase option on Adi from Danish first-division side FC Copenhagen, signing the Nigerian striker to a multi-year contract as a Designated Player. Adi was originally acquired by the Timbers on loan from FC Copenhagen on May 13. Per MLS and club policy, terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
"Taking a player on loan prior to purchasing his rights gives you a first-hand look at the player in every regard and reduces the risk," said Timbers general manager Gavin Wilkinson in a statement. "With Adi performing well and fitting into the club culture and team dynamics, the decision to take up the purchase option was an easy one. He is young and has already shown the ability to be a dominant forward in this league."
Quickly making his presence felt after joining the Timbers, Adi, 23, netted a brace in each of his first two starts after joining the club, and has four goals and two assists in six league matches (three starts) for Portland this season.

"Obviously, Adi has made an immediate impact with our club and we are extremely pleased to have him on board now long-term," Timbers head coach Caleb Porter said in a statement. "He has proven to be an ideal fit in our system and possesses qualities that will make him a very effective striker in this league. We look forward to his contributions for years to come."
Adi was named Major League Soccer's Player of the Week for Week 14 for a two-goal effort in a 3-1 win at Real Salt Lake on June 7. He registered an assist on a crucial, game-tying goal as a substitute in his first appearance with the Timbers against Columbus on May 17, then went on to score both goals in a 2-0 victory at Chivas USA in his first Timbers start on May 28.
The Lagos native appeared in nine league matches (six starts) for FC Copenhagen during the 2013-14 Danish Super Ligaen season, scoring three goals, including a tally in his debut for the club in a 1-1 draw against FC Vestsjælland on Aug. 25, 2013.
The 6-foot-4 forward also featured in three group-stage matches during the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League tournament, earning a start in a 1-1 draw against Italian club Juventus and making substitute appearances against Real Madrid and Turkish club Galatasaray.

Have you ever wondered what life was like for your ancestors during the course of your research? It is easy to get wrapped up in the document research for your ancestors. Take a moment to examine how they lived. This will giive you a new persepective on their lives and may help your research.
While visiting with my distant cousin Tadeusz in Słupsk, Poland this summer I had the opportunity to see many places around Słupsk. One of the places that fascinated me the most was a historic polish village musem in Kluki. I think I took about 400 photos that examined all the details of the construction of each building.
I was visiting my cousin Adam in Wroclaw at the end of August during my stay in Poland this summer. Adam took me to the Wroclaw Community Cemetery to show me graves of some family members. Adam prepared ahead of time by calling the cemetery office and found out the location of the graves we were interested in. A smart move!
The person in the office surprised both of us with some information we were not expecting. There were two children that had the family name, but neither of us were aware of these children.
The Community Cemetery in Wrocław is VERY Beautiful, and also very large. This is not a cemetery that you want to just wander through to locate graves of your ancestors.
Many people have asked me where I was when I visited Poland this summer, especially my genealogical colleagues, so I thought I would answer that question with a map.
I had the opportunity to do some research in the Diocesan Archives of Tarnów when I was in Poland.
The process is simple... you must sign in the "guest book" and then if you have not been to the archives before, you will need to purchase a researchers id card which is good for that calendar year. Of course you must present some identification which for the foreigner would be your passport.
If I recall correctly it cost about 15 złoty which is roughly about $5 give or take depending on the exchange rate. Research time costs 6 złoty per hour.
The Archive is open Monday thru Friday 9 am to 3pm with a break for lunch from noon to 1pm. On Saturdays it is open for only 3 hours from 9am to noon.
I was looking for a new digital camera to take with me on my upcoming research / vacation trip to Poland for 2 months. I will be at repositories and churches and graveyards, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get a digital camera that has a Geo-tagging function. After shopping around I purchased the 16.2 MP Sony DSC-HX7V.
Being a previous Sony owner, it was relatively easy to maneuver through the menus. I was amazed at all the features... HD video, 3D photography (viewable on 3D TVs), Auto panorama photography, GPS & compass function & the list goes on. The unit is light and feels very sturdy, the back display is easy to see in the sunlight.
This camera is going to be the perfect match for a genealogist. I will be able to mark the latitude and longitude of those gravestones I find. Never again will I return from touring and wonder where I was when that photo was taken.
Mix this with Google maps tools and the world belongs to me!

Murray through to Wimbledon final
Marion Bartoli has taken the women's Wimbledon title as she defeated the crowd's favourite, Sabine Lisicki, on a sweltering Centre Court.
The French player fell to her knees in joy as she emerged triumphant in the thrilling clash to claim her first grand slam title. German hopeful Lisicki, who broke down in tears during the match as she felt her hopes slipping away, was overcome with emotion as she lost out on the trophy.
The women's final came as British men's hopeful Andy Murray was gearing up for his own shot at the title when he plays Novak Djokovic on Centre Court on Sunday. The Scot, who spent an hour practising at the All England club on Saturday, stormed through a tense and controversial encounter with 6ft 8in Jerzy Janowicz to claim his place in the final.
A host of female tennis stars returned to Wimbledon for the match between Lisicki and Bartoli. Watching the pair from the Royal Box will be famous faces from women's tennis, including Martina Navratilova, Martina Hingis, Virginia Wade, Margaret Court and Jana Novotna, as well as Women's Tennis Association founder Billie Jean King and the organisation's chairman and chief executive Stacey Allaster.
Meanwhile, The BBC was forced to apologise after one of its senior presenters suggested the women's Wimbledon champion was "never going to be a looker". John Inverdale made the disparaging remark on the broadcaster's Radio 5 live programme shortly after French player Marion Bartoli defeated Germany's Sabine Lisicki on Centre Court.
Inverdale reportedly told listeners: "Do you think Bartoli's dad told her when she was little, 'you're never going to be a looker, you'll never be a Sharapova, so you have to be scrappy and fight?"
The comments sparked outrage on Twitter where one user branded the presenter a "sexist dinosaur" and another called for Inverdale to be stripped of his job. The BBC later apologised for the comments.
Inverdale was presenting from the women's final at Wimbledon. Earlier Inverdale told his listeners that he poked fun at the player's looks "in a nice way". He added: "She is an incredible role model for people who aren't born with all the attributes of natural athletes".
The BBC said Murray's semi-final victory was the most-watched TV moment of the year so far. A peak audience of 13.2 million people tuned in to see the match, a spokesman for the broadcaster said, making it the most-watched moment across all channels.
