Islamabad: The behaviour of some Pakistan players during the recent trip to England, on and off the field, has been reported to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
According to The News, a board-appointed observer has charged a few players with late night hang outs and irresponsible behaviour on the field.
Shoaib Mohammed, a national selector who accompanied the team to England, reportedly saw some players roaming around late in the night before and after matches in Manchester and London.
A recalled opener is among those named by the selector in his report. Shoaib Akhtar, however, has been described as a positive force in the team.
Mohammed identified the top three batting positions as the weak link in the team and criticised the attitude of certain players who threw away their wickets after good starts.
Meanwhile, a court on Tuesday warned Shoaib of stern action if he failed to appear over a petition demanding an apology for his criticism of fellow cricketers. Shoaib or his lawyer must appear in the court on September 1 and respond to a petition against his newspaper interview, said the judge.
Shoaib reportedly criticised Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis and said in an interview in England that he would have been a greater force with better support from the other end. Shoaib, who has called the petition a publicity stunt, is likely to miss the hearing as he is currently playing County cricket in England.
Latif given longer run
The PCB announced on Tuesday that Rashid Latif would remain captain until the tour of New Zealand early next year.
Having recently announced that the 34-year-old wicketkeeper would be captain for next months home series against Bangladesh, PCB chief Tauqir Zia said on Tuesday he would be allowed a longer run in the job.
Rashid is our captain until the tour of New Zealand in December-January 2004 and we have no intention of dropping our rebuilding policy after the World Cup, Zia said.
We have decided to give the captain, coach and players a run of three to four series against Bangladesh, South Africa and New Zealand in the rebuilding process, he added.
However, fast bowler Mohammed Sami has been ruled out of the Bangladesh series with an ankle injury.
The PCB spokesman Samiul Hasan said that Sami had twisted his ankle while playing for Kent and would be out of action for a minimum of six weeks.
The PCB and Pakistan team doctor Tauseef Razak have also confirmed to us that Sami requires at least six weeks to recover from the injury, Hasan said.
Sami will be returning home soon to start treatment on his injury. Although his contract (with Kent) was until August 10, he was available for the Bangladesh series.
Shoaib will also skip the series, which starts on August 20.
PCB demand
Pakistan has voiced its concern over lack of consistency among the Elite Panel of ICC umpires. A letter has also been sent to the ICC by the PCB in this regard.
The Elite Panel includes 11 umpires with no representation from Pakistan.
The PCB believes it suffered badly at the hands of ICC panel umpire Doug Cowie of New Zealand and alleges some questionable decisions deprived them of a golden opportunity to win their only series in the West Indies three years ago.
They also felt decisions went against them in the last one-day match against England at Lords in their 1-2 defeat in the NatWest series in June this year.

The local papers no longer call me the week before Easter. The last few years, at least one of the local papers called to ask the following question:
"Is your church doing anything special for Easter?"
And each year, I just feel so lame because I don't really have a good answer. It's not that we don't have any ideas or that we can't google "what cool churches are doing for Easter"…
It's just that that's not who we are. This is in no way to criticize churches that choose to do creative or cool things. But I guess this is my way of forewarning visitors who are thinking of visiting Quest this Sunday to not expect anything special:
There will be no free gifts.
There will not be an egg hunt or a big egg drop from a helicopter.
There will not be any big theatrical production with dry ice.
The reporter asks again,
"So, seriously, you guys don't do anything special for Easter."
I'm not trying to be a smart ass but I respond,
"No, we're pretty lazy and our resources are limited. But, seriously, the message of Easter is special enough. We want to welcome our guests by simply being ourselves. We don't have any stuff or gifts to give but what we can "give" to people is to genuinely extend hospitality and an accurate glimpse of our community and ethos. We do our usual thing: we sings beautiful worship songs, we greet, I preach for a long long time, and we welcome anyone that believes to celebrate Communion.
Actually, we might have some decent donuts and coffee – which is special since we don't usually give donuts. And oh, there is another special thing…I usually wear a suit for Easter!"
I think this is why the local papers no longer call us to ask about what we're doing special for Easter. They don't call because well, umm, there's nothing to write about.
Whether you are a pastor, a lay leader, or simply, a believer – may we all enjoy the various festivities of Easter and Resurrection Sunday. But let's not forget that the message of the gospel – the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus – even without all the accessories – is pretty darn special.

Evaluating School-To-Work Programs Using the New NLSY
A critical impediment to research on school-to-work programs has been the absence of large representative data sets with information on such programs. In contrast, the new NLSY (NLSY97) offers researchers opportunities to analyze direct evidence on school-to-work programs. In the NLSY97, individuals are asked a set of survey questions about programs schools offer to help students prepare for the world of work,' and an accompanying survey includes information on school-to-work programs offered by schools attended by the interviewees. These data, coupled with observations on multiple individuals in the same schools, potentially allow researchers to estimate the effects of school-to-work programs on individuals while accounting for possible bias from selection into these programs, although apparent data problems pose some limitations. Because Round One of the NLSY97 covers workers only up to age 17, this paper focuses on the consequences of school-to-work programs for youth employment and schooling decisions while in high school, and students' subjective assessments of the likelihood of future schooling and work behavior. Overall, the evidence does not point to a causal effect of school-to-work program participation on behavior likely associated with future college attendance. On the other hand, school-to-work program participation does appear to have positive effects on educational attainment in terms of respondents' subjective probabilities of obtaining a high-school diploma. More in accordance with the traditional view of school-to-work programs, the data indicate that participation in these programs increases the perceived likelihood of future labor market activity, both for the year following the survey and at age 30. However, school-to-work programs do not appear to boost the probability of current employment.

Saint of the Week: St. John Chrysostom
Go Deeper
St. John was born in 344 in Antioch, studied under very acclaimed scholars, and developed a keen gift for rhetoric. Around 375 he dedicated his life to Christianity and became a hermit, living an extreme ascetic life which consisted of getting little sleep, constantly standing and memorizing the entire Bible. Those two years caused him serious health issues, so he was forced to return to Antioch and was eventually ordained and named Archbishop of Constantinople. St. John was known for his unapologeitc preaching, and his homilies and writings converted many pagans. Eventually he was banished due to his outspoken opposition of the worship of pagan gods, and died while in his exile. He is hailed as a great Father of the Church in both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Hi every1. I am reading a book on gridding that does not prove many of the mathematical theorems that it uses. One of the theorems claims that the inverse of the jacobi matrix (defined as a matrix whose (i,j)-entry is di-x(i)/di-shi(j) is a matrix whose (i,j)-enties are given by di-shi(i)/di-x(j). I can see how the product of these matrices gives 0s for off diagonal entries but I can't prove that the elements on the main diagonal of the product are 1. Does anyone know a proof? Thx.
Re: Gridding
What is the title of the book and at any page you have problems.
your message is nt clear: di-x(i)/di-shi(j) ?? shi ??
Re: Gridding
The title of the book is "Grid Generation Methods" by Vladimir D. Liseikin, 1999, and the publisher is Springer. shi is how I pronounce the Greek letter used to label the curvilinear coordinates (the correct pronounciation may be xi?)
Re: Gridding
And the discussion is on page 32.
Re: Gridding
(1). There is a very good book on numerical grid generation, free online, by Prof. Joe Thompson, which includes a lot of math and derivations. (2). The nomenclature used is somewhat different from others, but you can pick up any advanced calculus book to help you understand these geometry related coordinate transformation. (3). Basicall, these are related to the coordinates, distance, area and volume between transformation. (between two coordinate systems) (4). (finite volume approach uses only one coordinate system, thus they bypass the basic math.) I don't have your book, so I can't help directly. Try Joe Thompson's free internet book on grid generation.
Re: Gridding
I don't find your book but I want to propose you something better.
you can write your question on "Math Forum" on http://forum.swarthmore.edu/.
Best Regards
Re: Gridding
many of the theorems used in grid transformations are to be found in your introductory calculus book. a good one is the one everybody uses here in US colleges with the violin on the cover.

text: I'm going to buy a truck...I have, however, come to the conclusion that for the money I am able/willing to spend, a 1/2 ton is going to be my best value, meaning I could get an older 3/4 ton with a lot of miles on it for the same price as a couple year old 1/2 ton with very few miles. I found a wonderful 2006 Chevy 1/2 ton that looks like just what I need, has low miles, and most importantly, the dealer is going to give me a great deal on my trade and the price on the truck is right. I am, however, worried that the 1/2 ton isnt going to be enough for what I need, or I am going to be pushing it as far as the limits of it goes. I am going to be towing my 6x10 trailer with my mowers (see list in my sig below), prob have the bed filled with grass at the same time, and on landscaping jobs prob have the bed at least half full of mulch and prob towing the trailer with some tools in it. I am also going to be plowing with it in the winter. All that said, I would highly consider putting airbags in the back to help with the load, and level the front out by either using airbags, timbrens, cranking the torsion bars, or a combination of all 3. Is doing this going to actually help, or just visually mask the problem (if it even will be a problem)? I have had several chevy trucks when I was younger and I worked as a tech at a Chevy dealer for a while, so I know these trucks are built good and it will last me mechanically, but I am just worried I am going to be putting too much on it and "overloading it" at times. Thanks for your help guys....oh and I will be getting rid of my Jeep, which can't tow anything no can I put anything in the back of it so it's pretty much useless as a landscape vehicle to me....I sure will miss the little thing plowing though!

1. China has rejected reservations on the CPEC project voiced by some elements of India and stated that CPEC would ensure progress, peace and stability of the region. China has also said that its stance on Kashmir will not change because of the criticism from some media groups in India. (Jasarat-Ummat)
1. Pakistan has suggested that the Gas Sales and Purchase Agreement on Iran-Pak pipeline should be amended and both countries should be allowed to complete it, according to Petroleum Minister. During the question-answer session in the Senate, he stated that a sum of Rs. 25 billion has been set aside in the 2016-17 budget for the development of gas infrastructure which also includes Pak-Iran gas pipeline project (Sindh Express)
1 Security force have arrested 12 alleged agents of the Indian agency, RAW, from Ghizer, Gilgit Baltistan, for planning attacks on Jamat Khana of a special community to spread sectarian hatred. Another network was busted that was working to sabotage the CPEC. Balawaristan National Front's Abdul Hamid Group Chief Abdul Hamid has links with RAW and was paid Rs. 35 crores to work on RAW's agenda. 60 suspects have been identified as RAW agents. The security forces have recovered eight Kalashnikov, maps of sensitive places and telescope from the arrested agents.. (Daily K2, Baad-e-Shimal) (Jasarat)
2. Talking to Radio Pakistan, international affairs expert, Dr. Parvez Iqbal Cheema, said that India and Israel both are involved in state terrorism. He added that the world is well aware of the Indian atrocities in J&K and social media played important role to expose these activities. (Urdupoint)
3. Nazir Naji quotes Michael Krepon as voicing in Foreign Affairs magazine concern that if India and Pakistan do not reach any peaceful solution then the present clash might lead to a war. (Roznama Dunya)
1. India has plans to construct 850 MW Ratle project, 100 MW Mahar project and 330 MW Kishanganga project and one more dam, Minister of Water and Electricity, Khwaja Asif told the Senate. He said India customarily keeps showing the designs of these projects to Pakistan. "We want to settle water disputes with India in accordance with the Indus Water Treaty. The World Bank is a guarantor in this treaty. Apart from the World Bank, there is no other formal forum to get this dispute resolved". He added that during the past three years, delegations from both sides have paid 118 visits to each other's water sites. Asif also informed that during three years, 73 small dams have been built in Pakistan. Of these 36 are in Balochistan, 6 in KPK, 30 in Sindh and one in Gilgit.. (Sindh Express)
1. There has been much dilly-dallying over extension to army courts. No one in Parliament talks why the army courts could not complete their agenda during the last two years. The ruling party thinks the army courts should be given an extension in view of the conditions in the country while the opposition is adamant on playing politics. The Rangers' issue in Sindh is also being seen from a political point of view. There is a decline in the crime rate in Karachi because of the Rangers and Police operations in the city. The statements from target killers speak for the fact that the ruling sections have been very soft on criminals since long because of which the socio-economic infrastructure in Karachi is out of shape. (Awami Awaz Edit)
2. Taking part in a Geo News Program on curbing terrorism, senior analyst, Babar Sattar said setting up of military courts was a big mistake and they should not be given any extension. He said that terrorism was brought under control through military operation, not by military courts. Marvi Memon and Mazhar Abbas also felt that the military courts were not a good option. Salim Safi felt that military courts indicate no confidence in the judiciary. However, Hasan Nisar argued that military courts played positive role in the war against terrorism. He said that extraordinary steps need to be taken under extraordinary circumstances. Imtiyaz Alam said under situation like operation Zarb-e-Azb, common laws do not work. The civilian courts pronounced penalties in 20% cases whereas military courts punished 96% convicts. (Jang)
3. Senior analyst Mazhar Abbas writes that out of three operations carried out in Karachi, rangers operation is held as most effective. It is due to two reasons. One, it was kept very balanced and secondly rangers were given special powers under Anti-Terrorism act. The factors responsible for its fiasco include distance between Sindh government's and centre's failure to keep politics out of Sindh police's hands, and failure in investigation and judicial process. (Jang)
1. A press release from the Army Spokesman's Office stated that a large number of weapons and explosive material were seized during search operations at Kahan, one of cities in Balochistan. These weapons belong to banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and were buried in a 4 feet deep pit. The ops was conducted following a tip off. (Awami Awaz)
2. JuD Chief Hafiz Saeed has approached the Islamabad High Court to remove his name from Fourth Schedule-2. He has made the Interior Ministry Secretary, Foreign Ministry Secretary, of Secretaries of Punjab and Sindh, NECTA and Chief Commissioner of Islamabad as parties to his petition. The petition said Hafiz Saeed has no connections with defunct organization in the petition. (Jasarat)
3. Chief of banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Rizwan alias Asif Chhotu, was killed in an encounter with CTD, along with three other accomplices. Three others escaped. According to the spokesperson of CTD, it received an intelligence input that some terrorists were proceeding from Farooqabad towards Shekhupura on four motor cycles. CTD put up check posts at Shekhupura. The terrorists tried to avoid check posts, but were challenged. In the ensued encounter, four terrorists, including Asif Chhotu, were killed. Asif Chhotu carried a reward of rupees one crore on his head. He had been involved in murders of more than 200 persons. (Daily Intekhab, Daily K2)
1. The Sindh CM has held back the permission to extend Rangers' policing powers in Sindh. A dispute has cropped up between the Sindh and the federal governments following recent raid on Zardari's aide, Anwar Majeed's house by the Rangers in Karachi. The Sindh government wants that the federal government should give a guarantee that such raids will not be conducted on Zardari's' close aides without consulting the Sindh government. But the federal government has so far not reacted to this demand. It may not give any such assurance. In the past so such assurances were given. According to sources in PPP, the Sindh CM has so far not signed the orders sent to him for signature from the Sindh Home Ministry for extending Rangers' policing powers. These powers had expired four days ago. (Sindh Express)
2. MQM's Izhar-al-Hassan said the Sindh government wants that the Rangers should not take any action against PPP leaders. Speaking to media outside Sindh assembly, he said it will be better if this row on Rangers' powers is settled once for all. Most of the criminals flee to other parts of Sindh after committing crime in Karachi. It would be better if the Rangers' operations take place across Sindh. Another MQM leader, Sardar Ahmad commented that the federal government and the Sindh government should sit and talk out on this issue. It is not good that the Rangers are given powers forever. The Rangers should undertake operations only in consultation with the Sindh government. (Sindh Express)
3. MQM Pakistan Chief had a telephonic conversation with Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and demanded taking them into confidence over the appointment of the Governor of Sindh. (Khabrain)
1. In a Geo Program, host Shahzeb Khan, commenting on deaths in police encounters said encounters have become a part of the Punjab government policy. He said that as per reports in a Pakistani magazine, extrajudicial activities have become Punjab police's favourite weapon against sectarian terrorism. According to experts, police encounters are carried out as government fails to take an effective legal action against the criminals in the courts. (Jang)
2. The study of holy book, Quran, is sought to be made mandatory up to 5th standard in Khyber Pakhtunkhwah (KP). The Chief Minister. Accordingly has given the green signal. Students of classes from 5th to 10th will be taught Quran with translations and commentaries. (Awami Awaz)
3. A two day meeting of the central committee of National Party was held in Karachi under its president and federal minister for Port and Shipping Mir Hasil Khan Bizenjo. The meet discussed organizational and political affairs, law and order conditions, census and other matters. It decided to take all political parties into confidence over the non-acceptability of census enumeration under present conditions. Former Chief Minister of Balochistan Dr. Abdul Malik Baloch also addressed meetings. (Daily Intekhab)
1. Tahir-ul-Qadri has observed that the army courts will not get an extension. There is a strong nexus amongst militants, those in power and the corrupt elements. Militancy will not be eliminated in Pakistan because of this nexus. (Awami Awaz)
2. Jamaat-e-Islami Chief's petition seeking the disqualification of the PM has been admitted in the Supreme Court and it will be heard by a three-judge bench. The petition claimed that what the PM Sharif had said on Panama Papers issue in Parliament and in his address to the nation was based on lies. (Kawish)
3. JI Karachi Chief Naim-ur-Rahman has appealed to COAS Gen Qamar Bajwa to secure the release of Dr Afiya from US prison. (Jasarat)
4. Hamid Mir writes: Sohail Waraich's book, 'Gadaar kaun' (Who is a traitor), is based on interviews with Nawaz Sharif and his family members during his exile period. The book shows that Nawaz Sharif rejected a General's suggestion that national wealth be increased through black money and exporting drugs. Nawaz Sharif also supported changes in the ISI charter and bringing it under the civilian government. From the interviews Sohail had with Nawaz, it appears that Nawaz had filed charges against Asif Zardari and Benazir under some pressure. The clash between Nawaz Sharif and Zardari had started from Senate elections, when Zardari won becoming its chairman. Zardari has already lost a lot and now Nawaz Sharif is losing, Imran is complacent after a few victories. (Jang)
5. Pashtun students attacked Sindhi students at Qaid-e-Azam University in Islamabad. This university is located in the red zone area of Islamabad. Four hostels in university became battle ground as over 150 Pashtun students attacked Sindhi students and destroyed the CCTV footage. The members of Pashtun Council have made life miserable for Sindhi students from Sindhi Council at university since two days. The Pashtun students have been selectively targeting Sindhi students over a petty dispute and beating Sindhi students with iron rods. The Chairman of Sindhi Council was held hostage and was attacked with rods. Seven Sindhi students are injured and some are also found missing from their rooms. This was a planned attack on the Sindhi students as some of the old dismissed students were brought into the University for these attacks. No one came to the rescue of the Sindhi students. Following these attacks, the Sindhi students have vacated hostels and headed for safer shelter elsewhere. (Sindh Express)
1. COAS Gen Qamar Bajwa during his meeting with AJK Prime Minister Farooq Haider said that the army is capable of countering threats of all forms. Both discussed on security situation at the LoC and the working boundary. (Jasarat)
2. Senior Minister Haji Akbar Taban said that people of Baltistan region are highly unfaithful because they never raised their voice against the PPP government's dismal performance but now despite so many developmental projects underway people of Gilgit-Baltistan are simply unconcerned. (Daily K2)
3. Gilgit-Baltistan government is trying to address problems of the people but unfortunately problems are endless and opposition is not ready to recognize any work done by the government. If the PML-N wants to continue for the next term it should work to the fullest satisfaction of the people. (Baad-e-Shimal Edit)

The way I see it is:
Altair: Wisest and most dedicated Assassin. Lived and died an Assassin, Ezio wasn't born an Assassin and he retired before he died. Also he probably had the biggest impact on the Assassin's Order thus making him the most legendary Assassin. He changed the way all Assassin's work! I mean he brought love into the Assassin's.
Ezio: Most charasmatic and passionate Assassin. He was a lot more emotional than Altair. Probably the best Mentor as well. I mean many Assassin's didn't like Altair as Mentor. He struggled in that department. Not until he was an old man could he get everybody on his side.
Connor: From the little we've seen. It definetly seems like he's gonna be the most skilled Assassin. Think about it in that CGI trailer he took out ALL of those British soldiers who had freakin GUNS! He is definetly facing the toughest, most well trained and best equiped Templars of the three of 'em. And let's all assume that he is probably going to be the key person who wins the war for the Colonists meaning he may be the first Assassin to help win a large scale war that shapes an entire country.
So I'm gonna take a chance and say will be the best Assassin. Desmond of course will be the best Assassin, BUT only by cheating sense using the Animus. lol And of course he's probably gonna save the entire world. Which just can't be beat.
Ezio= leader= proof: trained up to nine assassins at once
Altari= An True Assassin: trained as an assassin at birth
Coner= a killing machine, that simply refuses to be so.=proof: have you seen this guy fight? nuff said.

Can't decide on either bike to buy. I'm switching back to 26er from a 29er.
You are comparing two vastly different bikes. The Stumpjumper is a full on trail bike that can be pressed into service for all mountain and cross country riding. The Scalpel is a full on cross country bike that can be pressed into service as a light trail bike and not really too much more. Your decision should be based on your riding style with this one.
Either one will do the job. The good thing is you are coming back to 26
2013 Specialized P 26 AM green/purple. Nuff said

Comment of the week.
Well I ordered a Scalpel today !
IMO, better choice; but then, I'm a bit biased -- don't care how good they might be, I'll NEVER recommend Specialized to anyone... don't like how they conduct themselves as a company. (Funny thing is, the Scalpel is one of VERY FEW C'dale bikes I'd recommend, as well! And NOW, having just looked at the C'dale website, I can say I'd recommend none!)
A bike is the only drug with no bad side effects....

Mealey's (February 12, 2016, 12:56 PM EST) -- WASHINGTON, D.C. — A federal judge in the District of Columbia on Feb. 10 denied the Office of Science and Technology Policy's (OSTP) request to apply the consultant corollary exception of the deliberative process privilege to a five-page draft of a letter that was shared with a Rutgers University professor who believes that global warming has spurred a phenomenon known as the "polar vortex," finding that the professor could not be likened to a government employee and that her opinion was not being sought to assist...

"daedalus" Levels Five and Six
"daedalus" Levels Five and Six
WAD Type
Read Me
================================================================ Title : "daedalus" Levels Five and Six Filename : DAEDLUS3.WAD Author : Mike Hardie (Mike H. or "daedalus" on Compuserve) EMail Address : 102025,3102 (Compuserve ID) Misc. Author Info : One of the few DOOM II level creators to believe that making a level interesting does NOT require a Cyberdemon or Spiderdemon in every bloody room. Description : This .WAD file is the third installment of the "daedalus" series, a replacement for levels 5 and 6. They are, appropriately enough, considerably harder and more complex than any of the previous levels. If you liked the first four levels, you should love these... Level Descriptions: -Level 05, "The Bastion" As you materialize on a teleport pad in a small brick room, the first thing to assault your senses is the putrid smell of rotting flesh. Turning around, you see that the source of this smell -- a dismembered Archvile chained to the wall. Not a good sign... But where the hell ARE you? Glancing up through the skylight (we'll pretend this is Heretic) you see that you have been transported deeper into the mountain range. The exact nature of this complex eludes you, however -- it must have been mostly constructed by the demonic invaders. In this level, your greatest challenge is the Bastion itself -- two large gates that are virtually crawling with enemies. If you can pass these, you can escape into the dark tunnels beyond. Don't be tempted to just run through this last section of the level, unless you're playing it on a really low difficulty level -- on most levels, your only chance is a series of "hit and run" attacks. -Level 06, "Research Labs" You stumble into the darkness of the underground passage, bloodstained and weary from your last battle. Pausing for a moment to catch your breath, you look around. The first thing that becomes clear to you is that these are not natural tunnels. The walls here are metallic, not earthen, and the now-familiar smell of seeping radioactive ooze permeates the area. You recall some rumours, back before the invasion, that there were hidden UAC research facilities in this part of the mountain range -- soon enough, you'll find out that those rumours were true. As for the specific type of research involved... well, you'll find THAT out soon enough, too. The darkness ahead fills you with an inexplicable dread, but you really only have two choices: strike ahead into the unknown depths, or turn back and allow the rest of your race to be butchered... Notes: : This .WAD was meant to be used in combination with DAEDLUS2.WAD (the first four levels). If you have that the DAEDLUS2.WAD file, make sure you load DOOM with this command line: DOOM2 -file DAEDLUS2.WAD DAEDLUS3.WAD This will ensure that any resources common to both files will be updated to the newest version. (By the way -- there is no need to get DAEDLUS.WAD, the very first installment. This is simply an older version of the same levels found in DAEDLUS2.WAD.) Note, however, that the DAEDLUS2.WAD file is not at all necessary. The main reason for using that file as well is that it will allow all the new sounds to be used with the next two levels. There is another file included in this download, D3SPRITE.WAD. This file has some new sprite entries which will replace the ordinary Chaingun weapon, but I unfortunately have no access to any program that can make these sprites universally usable. If you have a program that will let you use the sprites, great; if not, just leave the file alone. The response to my last set of levels was favourable, (though minimal) and here again I would highly appreciate any comments or suggestions. I would particularly appreciate any kind of suggestion as to how I can make the @#$%ing sprites usable for people without special .WAD tools. Also, I still have no idea whether my levels work in Cooperative Mode or Deathmatch. If anyone happens to try, please E-Mail me and let me know the results. The levels do have multiplayer and Deathmatch starting points... ================================================================ * Play Information * Level # : Maps 05 and 06. Single Player : Yes. Cooperative 2-4 Player : Maybe...? Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Maybe...? Difficulty Settings : All, though the levels have really only been tested on Ultra-Violence mode. New Sounds : Yes. This level is meant to be used with all the sounds from DAEDLUS2.WAD, and has quite a few new sounds of its own. New Graphics : Yes. There are a few new wall textures and another new sky texture. If you have a way to use them, there are also the Chaingun sprites in D3SPRITE.WAD. New Music : No. Demos Replaced : No. * Construction * Base : Built from scratch. Editor(s) used : WinDeu 5.23 and DETH (editors), WarmDos (builder), NWT (WAD manipulation), MVP Paint (crappy artwork). Known Bugs : Obviously, I'd fix any bugs I _knew_ about. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY use these levels as a base to build additional levels, so long as they make mention of them in their own accompanying text files and give me some kind of E-Mail to let me know. (You don't need my permission, I just want to know if anyone is using the levels). You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this text file. You may distribute this file in any electronic format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file intact.

How to claim compensation for incorrect gas and electricity bills
Our simple switching service makes it easy to move to a cheaper home energy tariff and save money on your bills. Switch online or on the phone – it's up to you.#compareprices#
Call 0800 046 8048 or Request a call backundefined
Claiming compensation on your gas and electricity bills
In a bid to reduce people's dissatisfaction with electricity and gas suppliers, Ofgem has introduced a number of domestic energy market reforms in recent years.
As a result of these reforms, households should now find it easier to compare tariffs from different suppliers using price comparison sites, as well as have a better understanding of their energy bills and be more confident in the transparency of their energy suppliers.
Among the reforms is the ability to claim compensation if your energy supplier or distributor delivers a less than satisfactory service. The following is a list of the common circumstances in which you might be able to claim compensation:
Your complaint was not resolved in time
If you have a reason to complain about your energy supply or bill, your complaint must first be directed at your electricity or gas supplier. You could claim compensation for issues such as:
- Mistakes on bills.
- Inaccurate meter readings.
- Missing bills.
- Backdated bills – your supplier cannot backdate charges beyond one year.
- Your switch took too long – it shouldn't take longer than three weeks.
All suppliers have a written complaints procedure that they should follow in the event of customer complaints. When contacting your supplier make it clear that you are calling or writing to make a complaint.
Your supplier should give you a time frame within which they expect to resolve your complaint. The Big Six suppliers – British Gas, Scottish Power, E.On, Npower, SSE and EDF Energy – are required to resolve issues within eight weeks while the smaller suppliers are given twelve weeks.
If your supplier takes longer than stated, you can then escalate your complaint to the Energy Ombudsman who will look into your case and may award you compensation.
You have been mis-sold electricity or gas
If you feel you have been coerced or deceived into signing up to an energy tariff – whether by a doorstep salesperson or a telesales agent – you may be able to claim compensation. You could also be entitled to £250 compensation if you are switched to a supplier without your permission.
Your first step should be to contact your energy supplier who should be able to reverse any change in your account and refund any payments you have made due to mis-selling. If your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction, you can contact the Energy Ombudsman who will look into your case and may award you compensation.
Your energy supply was interrupted without notice or for a lengthy period
You may be able to claim compensation from energy network companies if you were inconvenienced due to your energy supply being interrupted without advance notice, or if the power outage lasted more than a certain number of hours. To help make a claim for compensation due to your power supply being cut off, make a note of the time and date of the disruption and how long it lasted.
Typically, compensation for large-scale power cuts caused by severe weather is only awarded if the power outage lasts 24-48 hours. In this case, customers are entitled to £27 for the first 48 hours, and then a further £27 for each additional 12 hours, up to a maximum of £216. Network companies may choose to increase this amount at their discretion, and may provide special compensation if you're without power over Christmas. You may also be entitled to compensation if the power outage lasted longer than 18-24 hours in normal weather due to a fault by the distributor.
Your supplier missed a scheduled appointment
If your supplier needs to work on your electricity or gas supply for whatever reason, they will give you the choice of a morning or afternoon visit, and typically specify a two-hour window for the visit. If your supplier misses the appointment without letting you know, and due to events out of their control, you are usually given a pre-defined amount of money as compensation – £20 for gas and £22 for electricity, or £42 for both. Your supplier will double the amount if they are unable to pay you within ten days.
You have a complaint about your electricity or gas network operator
You can also claim compensation if you are inconvenienced due to an electricity or gas network operator. This is the company that operates the pipes and cables that transport energy to your property. Some of the instances in which you could claim compensation include:
Electricity network operator
- They take too long to replace your mains fuse.
- They take too long to restore your electricity after a power cut or shortage.
- They shut off your power for planned maintenance without at least two days' advance notice.
- They miss an appointment to inspect your supply voltage.
- You get four or more separate power cuts in a year.
- They take too long to give you an estimate for a new connection.
- Your quote is not accurate.
- Your compensation payment is late.
Gas network operator
- They are late quoting you for a gas connection, or replying to a query.
- Your quote is not accurate.
- They take longer than 20 working days to tell you when they can connect your gas.
- They turn off your gas supply for planned maintenance without at least five days' advance notice.
- They take longer than 24 hours to reconnect your gas after an unexpected disconnection.
- You are left without a gas supply for more than five working days.
- They take too long to respond to a complaint. Your compensation payment is late.
If you experience a power cut or your gas supply stops and you are on the Priority Services Register due to being a vulnerable customer, your supplier should help arrange an alternative supply while repair or maintenance work is carried out.
How to claim compensation from your network operators
You'll need to write to your regional electricity network operator or your regional gas network operator in order to claim compensation for a power outage. You should do this within three months of your supply being restored for electricity and within 28 working days for gas.

Understanding Various Aspects of Selecting a Paint Remover
Many people find it a daunting task to choose the right paint remover. You can find a variety of paint strippers available in the market. Each product is made using a distinct set of ingredients. Once you choose the liquid or semi-liquid solvent, you can easily remove paint and restore the underlying surface to its original state.
Most of the paint strippers are chemical based, and can be very corrosive. So you must exercise a huge amount of care and caution, while using these products. On the other hand, some of the green products like our blasting paint remover are designed using environmentally friendly formula, and can remove paint without causing any damage to the environment. However, you must understand various aspects of using a pint remover to choose the right product.
Ingredients: Based on your choice, the paint remover can be a liquid or semi-liquid solvent made using different ingredients. Most products are made using chemicals like methylene chloride. Along with causing damage to the environment, such products can also cause harm to your body and health. On the other hand, the paint removers made using sodium or calcium hydroxide are considered to be more environment-friendly. While browsing through the paint strippers, you must read their labels to identify the chemical ingredients, and understand the safety directions. It is also important to choose a product that does not use any inflammable and harmful chemical ingredients.
Usage: Regardless of its ingredients, each paint stripper is effective in dissolving and softening the paint. Once the paint becomes soft, you can easily remove it from the underlying surface through the manual or mechanical methods. Normally, the molecules in paint stripper make it easier for user to scrape the paint away by soaking into the paint. However, you have to choose the product by keeping in mind the nature and type of the surface. For instance, certain paint strippers are designed specifically as heavy gel to strip paint from a vertical surface. But you must allow the stripper to remain for some time over the old paint to remove the paint layer easily.
Points to Remember: Most of the paint strippers come with natural bristle applicator. The applicator can be user to brush the stripper onto the surface. However, you must brush the liquid at a much quicker pace, and in a single direction. Often excessive brushing results in evaporation of active ingredients. After brushing, the stripper must remain on the surface for about ten to thirty minutes. During the time-frame, the old paint will start softening and bubbling. If the surface is covered with multiple layers of paint, you have to use several application of the paint remover to remove all layers. Based on the nature of the underlying surface, you can remove the traces of paint remover using a soft scrub brush or copper wool.

I really miss the shaved ice desserts I would get in Singapore and Malaysia on my travels. The ice would be shaved so finely it was fluffy and light. Topped with simple syrups, sweet beans and corn, etc . . . drool.
I'd like to be able to make this at home. Looking at the shaved ice machines (eBay, Amazon, etc), it's clear that there are commercial ones available costing from a few hundred bucks to several thousand. And there are many models for consumers, which seem to range from $25-$80 or so. But the lower-priced ones all seem to give a course cut . . . the texture we all remember when we had snow-cones at a fair. This texture would not work with the recipes I want to try . . . the end result must be very fluffy to work for me.
I saw a disc made for a KitchenAid food processor. It's called the Cheese Grater & Ice Shaver. (Model KFP7PI ) Has anyone every used this? If so, how successful was it in shaving ice? I make desserts rarely enough so that I don't need a commercial-grade shaver, so an attachment like this would be perfect if it actually did work.
If not, any suggestions on a consumer-priced ice shaver that is in the Under-$60 range? Or is this an example of getting what you pay for, and it's just not possible to get fluffy fine shavings without paying a premium?

Nahman of Bratzlav, a great Chasidic rabbi once proclaimed, "It was difficult for the Angel of Death to kill everybody in the whole world, so he appointed doctors to assist him."
It seems that the latest anxiety for many of us is not the conflict in the Persian Gulf nor the unification and economic stability for the Soviet republic, but it is here at home. The new and real dilemma is how to deal with the terminally ill patient.

Nahman of Bratzlav, a great Chasidic rabbi once proclaimed, "It was difficult for the Angel of Death to kill everybody in the whole world, so he appointed doctors to assist him."
(Press Telegram 2.19.95)
In my last year of post-graduate rabbinical studies, I became a close personal student of the old venerable rabbi, Rabbi Zalman Shimon of Lubavitch. He was a Russian rabbi who lived through the Stalin persecutions of Jews and spent his last years teaching many student rabbis in Brooklyn, New York. I considered myself a fortunate student to have had him as my mentor.
Recently there was a book, Final Exit, printed by the right-to-die Hemlock Society. It is a suicide manual for those terminally ill. The newly released book claims to be written for those whose suffering has become unbearable and wish suicide. A highlight of the book speaks about ways physicians and health care professionals can terminate or assist patients in suicide. In the 190 pages of this book are revealed different methods in reaching death or, as they call it, final exit.
The 90s ushers in an enlightened attitude of new understanding and, finally, tolerance for the "religious ones". We, the religiously inspired, are no longer considered crazy, mentally impaired or possessed.
Upon hearing the latest status of "SARS" I wonder how such a small but deadly bug can cause great havoc. From China, Asia to Toronto, Canada, to wherever, the quarantine has begun. Rumors of more deaths are being circulated.
We must be very tactful when we speak of death. All of us know a why and how in finding and answering meanings concerning death. Perhaps our main problem is in the way we speak of death, and in the way we present death. By the way of an anecdote, I'll attempt to make a point.
As we recover from the news coverage of the J.F.K. Jr. saga we are greeted with more bad news. Mark Orrin Barton killed his wife, children, and other and injured many innocent people. Visions of the recent Columbine High School killings come to mind.
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Fathers' Day. Roses are the Fathers' Day flowers; red is to be worn for a living father and white if the father is dead. I ask what does a son do if he doesn't have a living or dead father? How can that be, you wonder.

of Belgium's leading chocolate producers, who pride themselves on the quality
of their chocolates, have now installed a Linx CIJ printer on each of their 18
production lines.
Duc d'O, based in Kruibeke, Belgium, produces 30 tons of chocolates each day. These premium chocolates range from liqueur pralines to the famous Duc d'O truffles, with 80% of all chocolates being exported to over 80 countries. All Duc d'O's chocolates are made with 100% cocoa butter and all the fillings are made by Duc d'O themselves.
With quality being at the heart of their manufacturing, it was important that their choice of coder provided the best quality print, as well as meeting the hygiene and speed requirements of the production line.
Eight Linx 4900s, supplied by Linx's Belgium distributor PRESA, have been added to the existing complement of Linx CIJ printers at Duc d'O, and are used to print traceability codes onto boxes of chocolates, at the rate of 160 boxes per minute.
The Linx 4900's automated date and traceability software creates the date, with Duc d'O's own production system providing the rest of the data for the traceability codes. The IP55 rating of the Linx 4900 means that the printers can be safely washed down with the rest of the production line equipment at the end of each shift.
The curved stainless steel enclosure allows liquids to run off without creating any 'dirt traps', thus meeting the company's strict hygiene requirements.
The Linx 4900's self cleaning printhead means that the printer is ready to print first time, every time, which gives Duc d'O a reliable printing solution with high quality codes.

The Passionate Shepherd to His Love
The tone of this poem is rather exaggerated, enormous representation of one's love to another. The poem is basically romantic, where the author uses many different metaphors to demonstrate what kind of love the protagonist is willing to give. His tone is merely glorifying his love in different ways.
Rhyme Scheme
The structure of the poem is couplet (aabb)
Eye Rhyme:
Looks like it will rhyme but doesn't
Internal Rhyme:
Words rhyming within the same sentence
Slant/Near Rhyme
sounds similar but not perfect
Figurative Language
The scansion of the poem is in iambic form
Almost each foot is in the order of unstressed, then stressed syllable.
The rhythm poem is written in iambic tetrameter, whereas each verse has 4 unstressed syllables, each followed by stressed syllables, totaling up to 8 syllables per verse.
There's an irregularity in the scansion in stanza 3, lines 9-12, whereas the iambic tetrameter is broken. Instead of the 8 syllable verses, lines 9 & 11 have 9 syllables.
This change of rhythm changes the scansion of the poem as it goes from iambic to trochaic.
Born in Canterbury, England, in 1564
His writing career only lasted 6 years out of his 29 year life
Known for many poems his most famous being The Passionate Shepherd to His Love

- Verse 27
So What?
The structure of the iambic tetrameter makes the rhythm of the poem smooth and regular, for the purpose of attraction to the poem through the ears– making it sound euphonious.
The Parable of the Prodigal Son:
The imagery's presence throughout the poem's purpose is for the author to paint a picture for the audience, and to appeal to the audience's senses.
First Stanza
In the first stanza, the imagery only starts from the 3rd verse. The author paints a picture using diction: "...hills and valleys, dale and field... craggy mountains yield." These lines relate to the extended metaphor that is found throughout the poem, which is the 'shepherd's field of love'.
The meaning of the imagery present in these lines is that the narrator promises to bring pleasure that is similar to the pleasure of the hills, valleys, etc.
Second Stanza
In the second stanza, the narrator describes how peaceful they will make their soon-to-be lover feel, and also describing what they will do together. His image of nature is pacifying and relaxing, and his diction is euphonious.
This euphonious diction sets a peaceful mood for the rest of the stanza.
Love Poetry Analysis
Variations on the Word Love
- Atwood expresses to the reader an alternative meaning to how people interpret the word love.
- In the first 20 lines, the author expresses how blank and meaningless people use the word. This bitterness is evident in her description of love as "a word we use to plug/ holes with."
- The author changes tone completely in the last 17 lines, "Then there's the two/ of us. This word/ is far too short for us, it has only/ four letters." Upon reading this line, it becomes evident that Atwood's bitterness is not towards love itself, but towards the misleading image associated with it.
- Margaret Atwood shows love has become so misused that it has lost significance. Therefore, as a feeling, love is too deep and intimate to be represented by such a short word.
Rhyme Scheme
- There is no rhyme scheme (free verse/blank rhyme) in this poem as the author is trying to connect her thoughts about the word love in more personal manner.
- There are some slant/near rhymes "damp/up" and "finger/wonder"
- The author does this in order to set the reader's attention towards society's misuse of the word love
Figurative Language
- Canadian Poet
- Best known for her work as a novelist but she has also published fifteen books of poetry
- Won the Booker Prize and founder of Writer's Trust of Canada
Margaret Atwood
Third Stanza
In the third stanza, the narrator/author expresses a very floral image. The author includes words such as roses, posies, flowers, leaves of myrtle, etc. To change the image from a green-mountain-like picture into a more flowery image. These words describe how the narrator would cover his lover in roses in various ways.
Fourth Stanza
In the third stanza, the narrator/author expresses a very floral image. The author includes words such as roses, posies, flowers, leaves of myrtle, etc. To change the image from a green-mountain-like picture into a more flowery image. These words describe how the narrator would cover his lover in roses in various ways.
Fifth Stanza
In lines 17-18, the author expresses how much they are willing to feed their lover, whether it is "choral clasps" or "straw and ivy buds". The diction the author uses makes it seem like he is fruitful, rich, and is willing to share these things with their lover.
- The diction in this poem is simple and easy to read.
- Unlike the Passionate Shepherd to His Love, there is very little imagery, therefore the diction does nothing but express the author's feelings
- No hidden meanings
- Her attitude show that love has many different sides and can be viewed by many different perspectives, and furthermore, the general meaning has also been changed throughout the years.
- The scansion in this poem is Iambic.
- The author uses this to stress the important key words in the poem.
- These important words set the tone of the author (examples: love, warm, speech)
Sixth Stanza
In the sixth stanza, the narrator expands his willingness to feed her and make her happy by developing his ideas, from the fourth and fifth stanzas, onto the sixth one. He expresses how much the narrator is ready and set to make their lover feel like a god(dess).
Seventh Stanza
In the seventh stanza, the author develops (and repeats) his first idea of the shepherd, which also relates the title of the poem. Moreover, the repitition of the shepherd is significant because it emphasizes the protagonist's character's importance, which is discussed in the theme and metaphor.
- In this poem, the theme is the variations on the word love.
- Atwood consistently mentions the difference between her view and society's view on the word love.
- She portrays this through imagery, metphors & alliteration
Although there are a few metaphors here and there, one of the most significant metaphors is the extended metaphor in the poem. The extended metaphor is the narrator/protagonist himself. Who is the narrator? A character that is giving you an invitation to eternal happiness; a character that is usually referred to as a shepherd, and his followers are referred to as his sheep; a character that can give you eternal happiness; a character that is referred to as loving.
- This is a
word we
use to plug - Verse 1
- As for the weed-seedinglings nosing
their though
- Verse 17
Love! Love!
- Verse 19
- to
into, but that
- The author uses imagery a numerous amount of times to allow the audience to understand that there is a significant change in people's mind about love.
- "red heart-shaped vacancies on the page that look nothing like real hearts"
- "How do we know it isn't what goes on at the cool debucheries of slugs under damp pieces of cardboard"
The theme of the poem is similar to the parable of the prodigal son, a famous story that is found in the Bible in Luke 15:11-32; this theme is "an open invitation to Love". As discussed earlier, the protagonist's character can be an extended metaphor for another character, which is Jesus. The theme is evident because of the way the protagonist is welcoming their love, through food, cleaning them up, etc. just like how the parable says: ""But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate."
- " As for the weed seedlings nosing their tough snouts up amoung the lettuces, they shout it. Love! Love! Sing the soldiers raising their glittering knives in salute"
- Here the author uses personification to liven up her metaphors about the paradox she expresses within lines 13-20.
The structure of the iambic tetrameter makes the rhythm of the poem smooth and regular, for the purpose of attraction to the poem through the ears– making it sound euphonious.
So What?
The main subject is love
Both of the poems' rhythm is iambic
Both poems have slant/near rhyme
Both have alliteration to emphasize their respective themes of each poem
Both poems accentuate the importance of love
Both poems show the "get it or don't" principle about love
Both poems relate to the perspectives of the main character about love, based on events that they each experienced
- "This is a word we use to plug holes with."
- Love is just a word that will fulfill the completion of a sentence but isn't the right meaning
- "You can rub it all over your body and you can cook with it too"
- The author mentions how lotions and spices are named after love even though the name is tossed around
- "Insert it also in the one empty space on the printed form that comes with no instructions."
- Ex) Marital documents
The Poem
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
And we will sit upon rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant poises,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;
A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs;
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me, and be my love.
The shepherds's swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my love.
The Poem
This is a word we use to plug
holes with. It's the right size for those warm
blanks in speech, for those red heart-
shaped vacancies on the page that look nothing
like real hearts. Add lace
and you can sell
it. We insert it also in the one empty
space on the printed form
that comes with no instructions. There are whole
magazines with not much in them
but the word love, you can
rub it all over your body and you
can cook with it too. How do we know
it isn't what goes on at the cool
debaucheries of slugs under damp
pieces of cardboard? As for the weed-
seedlings nosing their tough snouts up
among the lettuces, they shout it.
Love! Love! sing the soldiers, raising
their glittering knives in salute.
Then there's the two
of us. This word
is far too short for us, it has only
four letters, too sparse
to fill those deep bare
vacuums between the stars
that press on us with their deafness.
It's not love we don't wish
to fall into, but that fear.
this word is not enough but it will
have to do. It's a single
vowel in this metallic
silence, a mouth that says
O again and again in wonder
and pain, a breath, a finger
grip on a cliffside. You can
hold on or let go.
First Stanza
In the first stanza, the author uses specific words, including "love, pleasures, hills and valleys, dale and yield", sounding euphonious to emphasize those soothing words. These words stress on the imagery that the author is attempting to give away to the audience. Moreover, the author reaffirms these smooth words to try to get the audience to feel what mood the author is setting.
Second Stanza
In the second stanza, the words the author chooses are a bit cacophonous, but he only uses these words (such as rock, flocks) in the first couplet to contrast with the second couplet; the second couplet's euphony contrasts with the first's cacophony with a more soothing diction (such as shallow rivers, melodious, madrigals). Not only does the contrasting stress on the diction that the author uses, it also reaffirms the peaceful imagery the author's portraying.
Third Stanza
Same thing that occurs in the first stanza, whereas the euphonious words stress on the imagery the author is trying to portray.
Fourth & Fifth Stanza
In the fourth stanza, the author's euphonious diction becomes more apparent and blunt. Words such as "gown, wool, lambs, linèd, and gold excessively accentuate the stanza's euphony that is ruptured with the cacophony that is apparent in the first couplet in the fifth stanza (using words such as choral clasps, studs), and then abruptly moves back to his euphony in the last two couplets of the fifth stanza.
Sixth & Seventh Stanzas
The same pattern that occurs in the fourth and fifth stanzas.
- The author uses enjambment in most of the poem
- Atwood does this in order to be unique compared to other authors that write about love
- It also appeals to the audience because the sentence structure is irregular

The standard upset price, which is scheduled to take effect no later than January 2001, was revealed in an open letter that appeared in various industry publications. In addition to McMahon, the letter was signed by executives of Fasig-Tipton, Ocala Breeders' Sales, CTBA (California Thoroughbred Breeders Association) Sales, Canadian Breeders Sales, and Keeneland. John Hettinger, a Fasig-Tipton board member and the owner of Akindale Farm in New York, and NTRA (National Thoroughbred Racing Association) Charities provided the push for the initiative.
Barretts sales company plans to introduce additional drug testing procedures beginning with its 2001 March select sale of 2-year-olds in training. "There will be some urine testing" conducted in conjunction with the auction's under tack shows, said Gerald F. McMahon, Barretts' president and general manager. McMahon said he would release the details of the new urine testing program in "a month or so." He declined to discuss specifics until that time.In California, pre-sale medication given to horses within 72 hours of an auction must be disclosed. To enforce that requirement, there already is a random blood-testing program in place at Barretts, where samples are drawn immediately after the animals leave the sale ring.Barretts is not the first sale company to reveal the launch of new drug testing plans in 2001 for juvenile auctions.Keeneland's board of directors endorsed the implementation of testing based on Kentucky's rules of racing for the company's April sale, and Fasig-Tipton will introduce a random testing program at the under tack shows preceding its Florida auction at Calder.Barretts is among six major sale companies in North America that recently agreed to establish a standard upset price of $1,000 for their broodmare and paddock sales. The figure is believed to be high enough to discourage buyers seeking to acquire horses that will be slaughtered for human consumption."It will not prevent sale horses being sold for slaughter privately back at the barn," said McMahon of the initiative. "But it does send a message to our industry that the sale companies want to discourage the sale of horses for slaughter."

Using the pro plugin, is there a way to copy post grids or do I need to manually create each grid?
Thank you.
Welcome to our forum.
Thanks for your question. i am really sorry to say this plugin doesn't allow duplicate post grid, but hopefully you can use other plugin to do same task.
you can try this plugin for duplicate post grid
Best Regards
this plugin is for duplicate posts not your grids.
Any post types can be cloned or duplicated by "Duplicate Post" plugin, please see the screenshot after install & activate "Duplicate Post" plugin http://i.imgur.com/mXLwGJN.png Regards
Hi. Maybe I was not clear. I want to duplicate the grids I'm creating in your post-grid plugin. Not WordPress posts. Thanks.
I didn't mean duplicate post(default) i mean you can duplicate "Post Grid" as same as "Post" by this plugin, please see the screenshot http://i.imgur.com/mXLwGJN.png Regards
