I can't find anymore the syntax suggestion for functions

I noticed that in the previous versions of Heidi,when you entered the name of a built-in function and you opened the parenthesis, the query editor would suggest you the names and types of arguments. I can't reproduce that anymore. This feature has been removed (in such a case why?) or do I make any mistake? or is there any option that must be set? Thanks |

That was never a feature of HeidiSQL. However, you can trigger the completion proposal dropdown by pressing Ctrl+Space when the cursor is over a function name. |

Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Full Strength
Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Full Strength Reviews
I liked this product a lot...gave me a nice glow after using it and has a nice feel/scent. It didn't give me any discomfort despite being pretty strong. — 1 year, 12 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
Good Enough to Eat!
There are very few products that smell good enough to eat and that wouldnt harm you in the process! This all nautral vegan/eco friendly peel works hard to get down deep to reveal a fresher, brighter more rested apperance! I had to switch to the senstive formula..but I can say both are proof positive that an apple a day can keep the DR (Dermatologist) away! — 1 year, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
Good results, though you will be red for a bit...
Got this as a sample. I left it on for the whole 15 minutes and when I rinsed it off, I was bright red everywhere I had applied it - but it faded to normal after about a half an hour. Didn't break me out or overdry me or cause any other problems. Did a good job of softening my skin and brightening it. Also really like the fact that its natural and contains organic ingredients - a plus as far as I'm concerned! — 4 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 7 people said helpful

Starck Joins New Hotel Brand
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
SBE managed to tied Starck down to a 15-year exclusive deal (so much for his claim in an interview last year that he'd be retiring in three years). The new boutique brand will be hitting all the hot spots including New York, Miami and the Caribbean but instead of creating new hotels, these will all be conversions. Starck will also remodel the Ritz Plaza in Miami but it will not be part of the new brand. He will also design restaurants and lounges including a new Brentwood restaurant set to launch in May.
SBE seems to have learned from the drama involving the Roosevelt hotel and Amanda Scheer Demme, who blocked hotel guests from her exclusive clubs. In an article in Travel Weekly, Michael Doneff, SBE Entertainment Group's vice president of marketing promises that "if you stay at our hotels, you will have preferred access to our nightclubs." It's a smart move to make the guests feel like they pare part of an exclusive group rather than feeling alienated in their own hotel.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia's top parks official believes "all the pieces are falling into place" for a 75-room lodge to be built at Wayne County's Beech Fork State Park.
Ken Caplinger, parks chief for the state Division of Natural Resources, said his agency still needs to meet several U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' requirements and must receive the corps' final approval on the $29 million project.
"The corps has already approved our conceptual plan -- the size and scope of the building, the general site and layout of the place. They've also accepted our fiscal study," Caplinger said.
"Now we need to do the environmental assessment and geotechnical work. We're in the process of retaining an architectural and engineering firm to draw up some plans, which the corps will have to review and approve."
The project requires corps approval because the lodge would be built on corps-owned land several miles from the state-owned land that houses the rest of the park. The proposed lodge site, located near the Beech Fork Dam and Marina complex, would be located near a well-traveled highway, W.Va. 522, and would overlook a scenic portion of 720-acre Beech Fork Lake.
Having a lodge that sits separate from a park would be nothing new for parks officials. Caplinger said Chief Logan Lodge, built on the opposite side of a mountain from the rest of Chief Logan State Park, has been successful despite its detached location.
"At Chief Logan, we consistently showed a $200,000 to $600,000 [annual] profit above operating costs," he said. "We're using that as a model for the Beech Fork facility."
In fact, Caplinger believes a Beech Fork lodge has the potential to be even more profitable.
"It has three nice things going for it," he said. "It would be built on the shores of a lake, which is rare in West Virginia. It's only a short drive -- 15 minutes or so -- from Interstate 64. And it has the whole Huntington metro area's population base to draw from. Our marketing studies show that it would draw from eastern Kentucky and southeastern Ohio as well."
Parks officials expect a 60 percent occupancy rate for the facility, which would equate to a $600,000 to $700,000 annual profit.

It is with great relief to myself (and probably anyone downwind) that I am happy to announce I got the faucets etc. for my new bathtub attached and working this morning. Finally, I got to enjoy my new soaker and scrape all the dust off myself. Boy was that nice. Deep tubs are heaven.
I have also spoken with my movers (funny how fast you can get to speak with an owner when you stop a cheque) and they will be here this afternoon to help me find out where they put everything and to unload my garage and put things where they should have been in the first place. That took some discussions yesterday, but I am happy to say no swearing or swinging was necessary to get it all arranged. You should have heard them trying to justify their packer not having a pen to mark the boxes he packed and why their guys should be excused from just throwing everything in the garage. I was just shaking my head and it seems, mover management aren't exactly rocket scientists either.
I had tackled the boxes in the kitchen the other night only to discover that of all the boxes in there, only 2 were actually kitchen stuff. The others are all things that belong elsewhere and I can not find the kitchen boxes (day 5 fridge food in places unknown). Hopefully this type of thing is what will get sorted this afternoon. I really need to unpack and it's just impossible the way it is.
Anyway, here's hoping today makes it all right again and that this show gets on the road. I received one of my Costco rebates (from using one of their realtors) and I am itching to go shopping on it. The idea of bringing anything more into this house isn't working at all until I have room to bring more stuff in though. So real incentive to make space for the new flat screen on my list.
Did you get a home inspection before purchase? If you did you can go back on the inspector.
Don't give up on the faucet!!!!! Your realtor's comment that you made so much on your home.....THAT's NOT THE POINT BUDDY! Doesn't the realtor get it. You bought the faucet with the purchase!!!!!!!! In fact HE made the money (commision) on your great sale price! These realtors like to sell and run.
At this point the moving company owes you for all of the unfound spoiled food! I'd stick that one to them as well!
Can you see you got me going here? :laugh: I'm about to blow for you.
Well, I am glad to see that things are improving everyday even if quite slow. I sure hope that you get some satisfaction tonight from the movers. Am I reading right that you instlled the taps yourself in the tub. That is quite an accomplishment if you did. Glad you like your tub. Keep your chin up, inb another couple of weeks you will be laughing at all this.
what Is HRT.....hormone replacement therapy ? If it is that can you not get more from the pharmacy now ? It seems to be to a simple solution rather than have hot flashes and sleepless nights. LOL
Happy all the move is sorting itdelf out finally....a packer without a pen ?
Now that is an original excuse LOL :)
What ever happened with the kitchen faucet scandal?

Guest Commentary, Niki Mitchell, Senior Policy Aide (Ward 5)
In his recent commentary, (
The Representation Gap, Insight News, Jan. 28
), Jordan Ash laments the lack of an African-American presence on the Minneapolis City Council. Former Ward 5 council member Don Samuels – who was the only African-American council member – took himself out of the running for the council seat and in his stead, the voters elected Hmong-American Blong Yang. Full disclosure, I worked on council member Blong Yang's campaign staff. I am now his senior policy aide, and am African-American.

After last November's election, we can add another one – the political representation gap.

A concrete way to remember and honor Nelson Mandela
Tuesday, 14 January 2014 13:33
Marian Wright Edelman
Last month, all across the world people joined together to mourn former South African president and freedom fighter Nelson Mandela. There was a deep shared sense of loss at the passing of one of the rare human beings who truly helped change the world. He suffered extraordinary hardships, spent 27 years in prison, including 18 on Robben Island under the harshest conditions, and walked out ramrod straight, unbowed, full of a spirit of reconciliation, and offering a hand of peace and hope. He became the first Black President of his country and transformed the way we view leadership and our individual human ability to make the impossible possible.

Ethnic mix in schools not as important as student success
Tuesday, 14 January 2014 13:17
Fred Easter
Nobody asked me, but there's a lot of hot wind blowing around about what ethnic mix is the best school setting Black parents should be considering for their children.
In my view, the importance of these choices is rivaled only by the importance of barring as many Republicans as possible from elective office anywhere in this country.

Is the American dream of homeownership ending for African Americans?
Thursday, 26 December 2013 15:36
Tracy Maxwell Heard, House Democratic Leader (D-Columbus)
The US Senate is currently considering legislation that would turn back the clock on opportunities for African Americans and other people of color to own a home in America. The Corker-Warner legislation would transfer the securitization role that historically has been performed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to a new government agency, the Federal Mortgage Insurance Corporation (FMIC). However, in this transfer, gone would be the requirement that Fannie and Freddie or its successors provide credit to all communities through government affordable housing mandates that encouraged lenders to originate mortgages for low and moderate income families – many of whom were Black and Latino.

I think its more common in Britain and assorted Commonwealths than in the US. It's from Cornwall is what I've heard. I've seen Tamsins, Tamsyns, and Tamzins out here.
I like it for being tailored and un-fussy but not a boy's name. Its like a crisp white button-down shirt. But with just a waft of fairytale to it, a bit like Briar in that regard.
I don't love it quite as much as I love Thomasin or Tamar, but its miles ahead of Tasmin.

metrical foot consisting of two short or unstressed syllables followed by one long or stressed syllable. First found in early Spartan marching songs, anapestic metres were widely used in Greek and Latin dramatic verse, especially for the entrance and exit of the chorus. Lines composed primarily of anapestic feet, often with an additional unstressed syllable at the end of the first line, are much rarer in English verse. Because of its jog-trot rhythm, pure anapestic metre was originally used only in light or popular English verse, but after the 18th century it appeared in serious poetry. Byron used it effectively to convey a sense of excitement and galloping in "The Destruction of Sennacherib":

We've been totally amazed by the snowfall today! It took forever to get going but bam, it's here! I've been going out every couple of hours and taking video of the progress. This is the last video I took @ 7:30- quite a difference from just 2 hours earlier. Our oldest son was out shoveling and the one pic is of him taking a break under an awning in a lawn chair. The youngest just had to go see what was going on & had a little bit of fun (Isaac 4) before deciding it was too nasty.

I don't mean to go off on a rant here, but what exactly has Obama done to win the Nobel Peace Prize? As I sit here and listen to his speech, he has taken credit for ending the War in Iraq...answer me this question: is there still not troops in Iraq? and are these troops still not fighting against rebels? If you answer yes to either question, then the war is not over. Also, don't think that everybody is happy as you Liberals may be. 9 months in office apparently qualifies somebody to win a nobel prize, so were was George Bush's? I'm pretty sure he wasn't involved in a war for his first 9 months...
In other news, Health Care is gaining momentum. I have finally come to this conclusion: the best way to fight this bill is to let it pass. As stated in months past, this bill would last for a few years. Here is my advice to the Republicans: let it pass. Now, why should it pass? Because this would be the best way to show America that the Democrats have no clue what you are doing. Remember America, it takes a jack**** to make a Reagan. I still believe that Romney will win the 2012 election.
The Quarantine Bill faces one last challenge: the Senate. Somehow, it passed the House, now it must pass the Senate. So far, all other bills that have passed the House have fizzled in the Senate. I hope for current America that this passes. However, on the other hand if it does pass, future America will know what to do.
Is it just me, or do you feel "change" in the air? What is the definition of a revolution I ask you? Aristotle describes it as an undamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. In 2010, a political revolution may occur. I have heard advocates saying vote out everybody in DC. Though there are people that say this every two years, for some reason, I have heard it more so this time around. Plain and simple America, if you really believe in change, then vote out everybody you can for the 2010 midterms. Then, you will have some big change. I just believe that the only change for 2010 is a switch in power (i.e. revolution) from Liberal to Conservative. If that happens, then prepare for a Republican president in 2012. The same thing happened in 1978-1980.

Battery life is amazing after OS update
All I have to say is wow! My battery life has gone from 100% to 85% in 5.5 hours. This is with me occasionally checking emails, texts, weather etc. It used to go down 50% in that same time frame before the OS update.
Thanked by 3:Chrisd534 (03-02-2013), jarrodmeyer (03-01-2013)
I had an issue where I would just put my BlackBerry in bedside mode and it had 82% at midnight. The next morning at 7 it was down to 54%. This was with the orange clock faintly on. It shouldn't leak that amount in 7 hours. I will see what it is like after the update.
Miss the setting where you could turn the phone off between certain hours. - 02-28-2013, 09:50 PM #3
Yeah I am really noticing a big improvement too. This is probably the best upgrade in overall performance I have gotten from an Os update from blackberry ever.

Yes, I'm at work coming to the end of my shift and previously I would be getting down to the 20% warning. Sitting at 60% as I post this.

I find that hard to believe, but if true, that is AMAZING screen on time. You do realize that it's an LCD panel, right? Meaning the back light is still on (albeit dim), even though most of it is black. How is that "Leaking" battery? How much do you suspect it should consume to run a 4.2" screen for 7 hours? 1%? Lol
Man... am i eager to get this update now!
U guys on LTE when u report this battery life increase or 4G

You're holding it wrong!!! LMAO
You do realize that bedside mode is meant to keep your screen on all the time, so of course it will drain the battery.. Wow, ok, bedside mode is supposed to be used as an alarm clock idea, but because the LCD stays on, it's meant to be plugged in and charging. Wow oh WOW!!!Be a follower, follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/quicksilv3rThanked by:semperfi45 (03-01-2013)
This sounds good! Can't wait till we get the update in the UK. Don't see why we need carrier approval, so annoying just let BlackBerry push them like the PlayBook!

Can someone please tell me if they notice how downloading attachments works on POP accounts? does it still auto download the attachments as soon as the message is received? (this happens in POP accounts only, not gmail etc). Please let me know if you can. (the dinner thing is not such a joke eh... lol).
Thanks!Common logic was introduced in order to balance the absurdity of common perception, then we invented marketing and messed it all up again.

It makes sense as it's one of the Top 5 Improvements that BlackBerry listed:
BlackBerry 10 software updated to 10.0.10.85: Top 5 Improvements «Inside BlackBerry - The Official BlackBerry Blog
Today we issued a software update for BlackBerry 10 smartphones that's focused on your feedback. It's already available from some carriers and we're working closely with all our carrier partners to get it to you as soon as possible.
It's almost been a month since we officially unveiled the new BlackBerry 10 smartphones and many of you already have a BlackBerry Z10 in hand. You've been using it for weeks, and we've been listening to your feedback, and have been working on an update just for you. Here are just a few of the improvements you can expect after updating your software.
3rd Party App Performance
We've improved performance for 3rd party applications, so developers can build apps that run fast and smooth for you. With this update, you might want to keep an eye out for some fresh new app launches in March, like WhatsApp.
Phone, Calendar, and Contacts
Among the top improvements and features are fixes for Gmail calendars on BlackBerry 10. You'll also find improvements in the BlackBerry Hub for logging calls log and how conversations are handled. We've also made general improvements to importing contacts from online sources.
We've optimized the camera for better photos in low-light situations. You'll love the difference this makes for photos where you don't use a flash – like the Time Shift Camera feature.
Browser and Media
With more and more of you using the gorgeous screen on the BlackBerry Z10 to consume online videos and media, we've made a number of improvements to the software in the way the browser handles video playback to provide a fantastic experience.
Battery Life
The software team has included a number of battery life optimizations with over 60 battery saving improvements since launch to keep you moving. These combined improvements are designed so that you see improvements in battery life and heavy users especially should see a longer average usage per charge cycle. - 03-01-2013, 09:32 AM #23
I'm on hour 5 off the charger and I'm sitting at 90% that's an amazing boost for me. Bravo BBRY!
Thanked by:jarrodmeyer (03-01-2013)
Agreed. Battery life is now outstanding. I'm so happy about this.
Posted via CB10 - 03-01-2013, 09:38 AM #25
It's funny how so many people were joking on the general OS update thread about "now my battery lasts for days" and such, because it's become pretty much a meme these days, whenever an OS update or leak comes out, everyone claims "OMFG, battery life is so amazing..." when it's oftentimes more like a placebo effect.
Looks like this time the exception proved the rule.Data expands to fill all available space. Traffic increases to use all available bandwidth.

Minnesota Reflections
. WHY A FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE SHOULD BE LOCATED AT MARSHALL 1. Geographical location--location of a college in Marshall would have both the least over-lapping with existing college areas, using a fifty mile radius, and it would leave the least void in south-western Minnesota. 2. Student potential--not just todayfs but five, ten, and more years from now, always remembering that the largest number attending will come from the immediate area (proximity definitely affects attendance.) For example, over 325 seniors graduated this past spring from high schools in Marshall or within approximately 12 road miles of Marshall. 3. Public utilities--that can meet the needs of a four year college now. Marshall's utilities are not only modern but can meet all possible demands that might be placed upon them. k. Size of the community-* prince not only does the largest percentage of high school graduates attend from the home community, but job opportunities are also more plentiful. It is generally recommended by most authorities that no college be established in a community of less than 5,000 population. 5- Growth pattern of the community—past, present, and future potential. Marshall has been and is the most rapidly growing and progressive city in this area. 6. Recreational facilities, churches, hospitals, and related institutions are exceptionally fine in Marshall. 7. Elementary and secondary school facilities are complete and modern-- --Marshall builds for the future.

About this blog Creating SpacesProduction and the Creative Spirit |
Wednesday, December 1, 2010
Blog posting written by Ann Michel and Phil Wilde, coprincipals of insights International (Ithaca and New York City)
The story of Judith Griggs and Cooks Source magazine has become very big news for artists on the internet.
As some of you know, the story broke on November 3 that Ms. Griggs, the editor of Cooks Source magazine, found an article online by Monica Gudio about apple pie. Griggs copied it and published it in her magazine without permission.
So, why are we all talking about this? Because when Monica wrote to the magazine to withdraw it or compensate her she received the following note from Judith Griggs:
"…I do know about copyright laws.…But honestly Monica, the web is considered "public domain" and you should be happy we just didn't "lift" your whole article and put someone else's name on it! It happens a lot, clearly more than you are aware of, especially on college campuses, and the workplace. If you took offence and are unhappy, I am sorry, but you as a professional should know that the article we used written by you was in very bad need of editing, and is much better now than was originally. Now it will work well for your portfolio.…For that reason, I have a bit of a difficult time with your requests for monetary gain, albeit for such a fine (and very wealthy!) institution. We put some time into rewrites, you should compensate me!"
The rest of the story can be found online because Monica blogged her story in a post called Copyright Infringement and Me, the story gets better and better. Look it up.
The importance of copyright and the proper use of material are always important in terms of media production and documentaries. We'll talk about that again, but this is a perfect chance to see what a lot of people think about what can and cannot be lifted, without credit or compensation, from this very public world.
Because of this story, many people, both expert and not, have weighed in about what exactly is public domain. Many are linking people to The Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 1998. You should find it and read it. But look for other information at just about every college or university website under Copyright and Fair Use. The University of Maryland's is particularly good.
What do you find important about the story; what about the online attacks that Cooks Magazine is enduring now that other bloggers have found many instances of lifted material, both written word and images, at the magazine?
On a lighter note, my favorite tweet today has been: "Cooks Source never should have stolen those recipes. But let's remember that they're also a victim of theft. Someone stole their apostrophe." A tweet from RuthBourdain

This term, "fair game," is an expression many of you used recently when commenting about the ethics of posting certain films on-line. Manyof you have contended that once something is posted on-line, it becomes "fair game"--for use, re-use, mashups, satire, commentary, sharing, and of course, piracy.
Does this mean that there is no such thing as intellectual property?
That the creators relinquish ownership through the act of putting their work on-line?
Books, articles, songs, pictures, movies – now everything belongs to everybody? It's all free and fair game? Perhaps artists and authors had better find another way to make a living.
What are the implications of believing that everything posted on-line is "fair game?"

Is it ever possible to shoot without changing the behaviors of the people in front of the camara?
When we make a documentary, we claim to give our viewers an accurate, inside look at a part of the world. When people agree to be on camera and share their time and views, how much are they using us to get their message and agenda out? How much are they acting? What has now changed?
We were working on a show about children. We knew they liked to put on music, dress up and dance. But they were much too shy to let us shoot this. So the only thing to do was to set up the camera, turn it on, and then leave the room.
The result was hilarious. Slowly, they ran up to the lens, made a face, and then ran away. Soon, they were rollicking around, pushing each other out of the front.
Of course they were playing to the camera. But this was something they did on their own, and we wanted to show this part of their lives.
They danced because we asked them to. What would this have looked like if we weren't there at all? That answer is something we can never know.
We had set up our camera. We had changed things.

We have been talking about privacy, and the ethics of posting a film made long before posting existed as a way of distributing video.
Many of you argued that our film, made in 1988, should be posted for the altruistic reasons that this film was created for: to "help" and "educate".
Recently we all learned about the young man who jumped off the George Washington Bridge after his most private life was exposed on-line. Clearly he did not consent to this, nor ever would have. The two who posted this are responsible for their actions.
But how far does this go? Perhaps this young man who took his own life was "close to the edge".
But the two who invaded his privacy, and the internet audience, did not, and could not know this. These two events are correlated. Are they cause and effect?
How responsible are we for what we post?
We know that we cannot control postings, and once it's up, it can easily be used in ways we did not intend.
Are we still responsible?
Monday, September 27, 2010
Post written by Ann Michel and Phil Wilde, principals, Insights International, Ithaca/New York City
In 1988, we made a film about kids growing up poor in rural New York State. This period was before the internet and perhaps many of our readers were born.
The kids who were willing to be in the film, with the parents of those kids agreeing, did so out of a sense of wanting to share their stories with us as filmmakers they trusted. We explained to them that this film would be shown to social workers and people in the business of helping kids throughout NY State.
The film was used extensively as a way to introduce professionals to the world as these kids saw it, so these professionals could better serve them.
Only kids are seen and heard in the film – the presence of the adults is felt but not shown. We used only the first names of the kids, and did not identify the places they lived. When the kids and their families gave us permission and access to their lives, we all had a sense of the extent to which this film would be seen and used.
Now the question arises, should we upload this film online?
We all know what happens the moment something is posted. It can be watched and used (if it is good) by people worldwide. It can be sliced into bits, re-mixed and re-used. It can be quoted and misquoted. We will have no idea about where and how it will be watched and used.
Is this online environment fair?
Is this reuse a violation of the privacy of the participants?
At the time the people in the film agreed to participate, this sort of thing was not technically possible. Now it is.
What are the ethics of uploading documentary films shot when the internet did not exist?

Germany U-19/21: Showtime!
GermanyU19 - 7/6/2008
Several players from the U-19/21 German team, currently in Coquitlam, B.C. for the World Games, will be filing regular reports on IL Blog Central of their trip and experiences. Read their first two entries here and here.
Thursday, July 3
And we are off!
After a short, light breakfast the team was bussed to the fields for its first match of the World Games against Wales. We had practiced a year, crossed an ocean and the whole of the United States for this and we were sure as hell ready to play hard and have fun. Unfortunately we were demoted to playing on the turf outside the stadium with no crowd, but none of us cared. A field was a field and we were ready to take care of business.
We warmed up and then headed towards the sidelines for the national anthem. Hands interlocked and singing along, it was an unforgettable moment. There would be more of these to come, but the first time was particularly special.
The starting whistle blew and we were off. The Welsh put in the first goal, but we answered quickly. The neck and neck game was close until the 2nd and 3rd quarters where we started pulling away. The Welsh began catching up in the 4th, but we could hang on to our first win. The game ended 7-5 in our favor and we made German lacrosse history. Never before had a German U-21 men's team won a game at Worlds, but we changed that and planned to continue to write history obviously. (Ed note: The German U21 Women won in their very first appearance on the international level in a victory over New zealand last summer in London, Ontario. It was the first time ever a german national Lacrosse Team had won in it's first event! Chapeau!)
In high spirits we showered and changed into our formal wear for the opening ceremony. We were lucky enough to catch the final quarter of the Iroquois - USA game which was a great game to watch. Lacrosse at this level can be found nowhere in Europe and it was a treat for most of the team to witness it.
We marched onto the field with all the other nations and aligned ourselves in a semi circle around the stage. We were welcomed by various dignitaries and blessed by the ancestors of a local native American tribe in a ritual ceremony - I guess we shall see if the good wishes work. We had one win under our belts, but the true tests were ahead. Tomorrow we were to face the much hyped Scotland, and we needed all the good luck we could get.
Endlich ist es so weit. Etwa 10 Minuten vor dem 1. Face-Off stellten sich die beiden Teams auf um die Nationalhymne zu singen. Gleich darauf ging es mit 2 Toren von Christian Baum los. Nach zwei weitern Toren von "Lolo" ging es mit 4 zu 1 in die Halbzeitpause. Coach Pirie forderte in der Zweiten Hälfte ein konsequenteres Angriffsspiel und, dass die Verteidigung weiterhin nur wenige Chancen zulässt. Leider konnten wir das nicht immer umsetzen, brachten aber trotzdem eine zwei Tore Führung zum 7 zu 5 Endstand über die Zeit - den ersten Sieg Deutschlands bei einer U19 Herren Weltmeisterschaft.
Später verfolgten wir noch, mit großen Augen und Bewunderung das Spiel USA vs. Iroquoi Nationals.
In der darauffolgenden Eröffnungsfeier gab es neben, gewohnt semi-interessanten Reden von Offiziellen, Tänze und Gesang der Ureinwohner zu bewundern und für uns die Möglichkeit etwas in die Tradition, die mit Lacrosse verbunden ist, einzutauchen.
Friday, July 4th
With one win, the team had gained confidence and eagerly awaited its second test: Scotland. They had rocked kilts commando the night before at the opening ceremony, so who knew what to expect from them on the field. Every German knew they were going to be good.
Demoted to the small turf again, it turned out singing the national anthem a capella was the only unusual thing the Scottish did in that meeting. I thought was a pretty cool touch and even suggested we should do that before our games as well. But my great idea was shot down immediately but all on the team, oh well. I didn't take it personally.
After the opening whistle, either the Scott's were not expecting a formidable opponent, or something else caused them to have a rocky start they never fully recovered from. After a quick first goal by them, we went on a goal run (started by me if I may add) that lasted basically for the whole game. The team we faced was not the team that we watched crush South Korea the night before where it had flexed its offensive muscle. That surely was a complement to the German defensive efforts. The meeting was unexpectedly one sided in our favor and the Scott's rarely had a chance to catch up. The German offense were clicking and finishing. Our hard work was finally paying off and we added another win to the German lacrosse history. The final score was 13 - 4. We were pumped.
After extended celebrations that attracted a fair sized crowd (finally) coach calmed us down for a short practice in preparation for the next days game against Bermuda. Generally though, being such an underdog, the boys were especially eager to prove Germany's competence as a lacrosse nation on such a global stage. We had come to leave a mark at this tournament, were on the right path to doing so and had no plans to stop.
This was a lot of fun and really worth the long trip from Europe to Canada - everyone thought so.
Erstmals seit langem konnten wir Ausschlafen, denn unser Spiel fing erst nachmittags an. Also gab's n ordentliches Frühstück, Filmanalyse der Schotten und Mittagessen. Dann ging's los zum Feld. Das Spiel fing diesmal leider nicht wie geplant an, und nach nur kurzer zeit lagen wir 2 zu 0 hinten. Die zwei Tore reichten uns als Weckruf und wir schossen die Halbzeit mit einem 6 Tore Lauf ab. Die Schotten schafften es nicht den es nicht auf weniger als 5 Tore heranzukommen. Endstand war 13 zu 4.
Nach dem Spiel hatten wir noch eine kurze Besprechung um uns auf das morgige Spiel gegen Bermudas einzustimmen und sahen uns das Spiel Finnland vs. Korea an - unsere Gegner in 2 und 3 Tagen.

The Secret Teaching of Plants: The Intelligence of the Heart in the Direct Perception of Nature - Stephen H Buhner
Ancient and indigenous peoples have insisted their knowledge of plant medicines came from the plants themselves, perceived through a heart-centered mode of perception, not trial-and-error experimentation. Author Stephen Buhner explores this heart-centered mode of perception, helping readers to learn about the medicinal uses of plants, and how to gather information directly from the heart of Nature.

The Psychotropic Mind: The World according to Ayahuasca and Iboga - Jeremy Narby, et.al.
Conversations on shamanism and mind-altering plants by filmmaker Jan Kounen, anthropologist Jeremy Narby, and writer/filmmaker Vincent Ravalec
• Explores how ayahuasca and iboga are tools for communicating with other life-forms
• Offers insights into the role this indigenous knowledge can play in solving the current problems facing the world
In the Amazon, shamans do not talk in terms of hallucinogens but of tools for communicating with other life-forms. Ayahuasca, for example, is first and foremost a means of breaking down the barrier that separates humans from other species, allowing us to communicate with them. The introduction of plant-centered shamanism into the Western world in the 1970s was literally the meeting of two entirely different paradigms. In The Psychotropic Mind, three of the individuals who have been at the forefront of embracing other ways of knowing look at the ramifications of the introduction into our Western culture of these shamanic practices and the psychotropic substances that support them.

Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind - Graham Hancock
Less than fifty thousand years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as the greatest riddle in human history, all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In Supernatural Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious before-and-after moment and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to the modern human mind.

Sacred Vine of Spirits: Ayahuasca - Ralph Metzner
A compilation of writings on the chemical, biological, psychological, and experiential dimensions of Ayahuasca
• Includes 24 firsthand accounts of Ayahuasca experiences and resulting life changes, including contributions from J. C. Callaway, Charles S. Grob, and Dennis J. McKenna
• Discusses the medical and psychological applications of Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca is a hallucinogenic Amazonian plant mixture that has been used for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years by native Indian and mestizo shamans in Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador for healing and divination. Many Western-trained physicians and psychologists have acknowledged that this substance can allow access to spiritual dimensions of consciousness, even mystical experiences indistinguishable from classic religious mysticism.
In Sacred Vine of Spirits: Ayahuasca Ralph Metzner, a pioneer in the study of consciousness, has assembled a group of authoritative contributors who provide an exploration of the chemical, biological, psychological, and experiential dimensions of ayahuasca. He begins with more than 20 firsthand accounts from Westerners who have used ayahuasca and then presents the history, psychology, and chemistry of ayahuasca from leading scholars in the field of psychoactive research. He concludes with his own findings on ayahuasca, including its applications in medicine and psychology, and compares the worldview revealed by ayahuasca visions to that of Western cultures.

The Killer Inside Me (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)by Jim Thompson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Lou Ford is the deputy sheriff of a small town in Texas. The worst thing most people can say against him is that he's a little slow and a little boring. But, then, most people don't know about the sickness — the sickness that almost got Lou put away when he was younger. The sickness that is about to surface again.
An underground classic since its publication in 1952, The Killer Inside Me is the book that made Jim Thompson's name synonymous with the roman noir. Review:"Jim Thompson is the best suspense writer going, bar none." The New York Times
About the Author(1906 - 1977) James Meyers Thompson was born in Anadarko, Oklahoma. He began writing fiction at a very young age, selling his first story to True Detective when he was only fourteen. Thompson eventually wrote twenty-nine novels, all but three of which were published as paperback originals. Thompson also wrote two screenplays (for the Stanley Kubrick films "The Killing" and "Paths of Glory"). An outstanding crime writer, the world of his fiction is rife with violence and corruption. In examining the underbelly of human experience and American society in particular, Thompsons work at its best is both philosophical and experimental. Several of his novels have been filmed by American and French directors, resulting in classic noir including The Killer Inside Me (1952), After Dark My Sweet (1955), and The Grifters (1963).

CD/LP/Track Review
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue Fiftieth Anniversary Legacy Edition (2009)
If the merchandising created last year (a package with DVD, LP and book etc) to celebrate the half-century landmark begs the questions of how many versions anyone needs of a given album, even one as profoundly innovative and roundly celebrated as this, each subsequent revisiting of the 1959 launch of modal composition and improvisation reveals more nuance than ever. And not just in the increasingly clear remastered sound allowed by the progression of technology that allows being so deeply immersed in the sound itself.
In this two-CD edition, archetypal for such expanded packages in collecting recordings surrounding the time of the main objet d'art, the revelation arises from studio recordings cut prior to the main sessions for Kind of Blue itself. Populating the bulk of the second disc, two versions of "Fran Dance" and "Love For Sale" indicate how Davis was beginning to turn in a new direction at least a year prior to the historic sessions.
Even as each of Miles Davis' monumental workThe Birth of the Cool (Blue Note, 1949), In A Silent Way (Columbia, 1969) and Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1969)sound like the perfect execution and complete distillation of its concept, this Legacy Edition thus suggests the continuity of the man with the horn's creative impulse. Davis' perpetual drive to innovate has its own forward momentum, much like the extended live version of "So What" that concludes this double package of discs. He neither rested on his laurels nor allowed himself to merely replicate his ever-so-fine ideas.
It was left to the cultural cognoscenti of the times and the jazz community at large to draw further inspiration from the symbiosis of the great quintet that appears on Kind of Blue. That the deceptive simplicity of its compositions contrasted the detail of the improvisations is the source of its depth and ultimately the reason it remains, perhaps even still ascends, within the pantheon of the defining art of the times.
Continued listening to "Blue in Green" and "All Blues" recalls how fascinating the work of Miles Davis is even if not all that work, progressive though it may be, constitutes an aesthetic flashpoint like Kind of Blue, one so illuminating that it allows the past and the future to be seen and heard simultaneously.

'Minority Report' in waiting: Wearable tech on the cusp of going mainstream?
If past is prologue, wearable computers will soon be the dominant technology we all use. Even if the hype's getting ahead of the reality, a nascent market is notching measurable progress.
Years from now, will historians pinpoint 2013 as one of those myriad present-at-the-creation moments when a new technology entered the mainstream? When it comes to wearable computing, we're not there yet. But it seems that we're getting close.
Asked last week to assess the state of this nascent market, Apple's Tim Cook described wearable computing as profoundly interesting, which might qualify as understatement of the year.
Perhaps more than any other of its many skunkworks, Google's Project Glass has fired imaginations about the prospects -- as well as the perils -- of wearable computing. Hype aside, we're likely getting ahead of ourselves, as Google Glass remains the proverbial work in progress and is only available to a few thousand developers and costs a steep $1,500.
Related posts
But these are the early days, and a lower-priced, commercial version is expected in the first half of next year. Meanwhile, the prospect of big scores down the road recently convinced a couple of big Silicon Valley venture firms -- Kleiner Perkins and Andreessen Horowitz -- to team with Google Ventures to create an investment group known as the Glass Collective. The idea: Offer seed money to Glass startups and presumably create the sorts of cool apps which will eventually convince consumers to plunk down their credit cards and buy a pair.
That's just part of the story. While Google has received most of the attention, there are sundry other entrants, some big, some small, who are already jumping in. If their timing's right and this turns into one of tech's next big things, Silicon Valley may be minting several more multimillionaires in the near future. If not, there will be ample fodder for the likes of "Saturday Night Live" to parody our nerdaliciousness. Meanwhile, check out the roster of who's doing what in our accompanying image gallery.

Legumes — a class of vegetables that includes beans, peas and lentils — are among the most versatile and nutritious foods available. Legumes are typically low in fat, contain no cholesterol, and are high in folate, potassium, iron and magnesium. They also contain beneficial fats and soluble and insoluble fiber. A good source of protein, legumes can be a healthy substitute for meat, which has more fat and cholesterol.
If you want to add more beans and other legumes to your diet, but you aren't clear about what's available and how to prepare them, this guide can help.
Many supermarkets and food stores stock a wide variety of legumes — both dried and canned. Below are several of the more common types and their typical uses.
Adzuki beans
Anasazi beans
Black beans
Black-eyed peas
Fava beans
Lima beans
Kidney beans
Soy nuts
Dried beans and legumes, with the exceptions of black-eyed peas and lentils, require soaking in room-temperature water, a step that rehydrates them for more even cooking. Before soaking, pick through the beans, discarding any discolored or shriveled ones or any foreign matter. Depending on how much time you have, choose one of the following soaking methods:
After soaking, rinse beans and add to a stockpot. Cover the beans with three times their volume of water. Add herbs or spices as desired. Bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender. The cooking time depends on the type of bean, but start checking after 45 minutes. Add more water if the beans become uncovered. Other tips:

Magnetic Dartboard

My daughter has recently asked for a dartboard for her 6th birthday. Strange request I know!! I ordered this received it within 3 days. So made up with it. It's safe . And for the price I thought it would be rubbish but its top. I would recommend it to everyone. Best purchase in a long time.
The Magnetic Dartboard is brilliant. It is just what I wanted and it was as I expected.
Great Fun!
I bought the Magnetic Dartboard for my boyfriend's birthday and it is great fun! We've used it twice with 2 different sets of friends and they commented how good it was. Obviously, you've got to realise it's not a normal dartboard and yes the darts don't always stick, but for a bit of a laugh it's perfect! Excellent value too.
Magnetic dartboard
Very good fun for the kids
Magnetic Dartboard
Not just enjoyable as a real darts game, but safe and doesn't ruin your home, which is why I liked it too.
Magnetic dartboard
The Magnetic Dartboard is reasonable value for money. The quality is ok but not brilliant. The darts tend to bounce from where they are thrown to another number.
Magnetic dartboard...not sure of resilience
I've bought this Magnetic Dartboard as a gift for my son. I compared it to others on the market and this looked more solid and resilient. After a couple of dart throws (and really not that hard!), the board is dented. I may have been better off with a velcro-type board as an alternative. I'm disappointed... sorry IWOOT.
This Magnetic Dartboard is useless. No matter what we try, the darts just roll down the board and end up hanging on their sides! We bought it for our holiday but left it at home.
Magnetic Dartboard
The Magnetic Dartboard is a good size and well made. The darts do mark the board so not sure how long it will last but at least this version of darts is a lot safer than the traditional one. No damage to walls or players so that is a definite bonus.
I'm very pleased with the way in which the Magnetic Dartboard was packed. The description given was spot on and the quality of the goods was top notch. I would not hesitate to purchase anything else from this site again.
Magnetic Dart Board
The Magnetic Dartboard is great entertainment. Great value!
This Magnetic Dartboard represents very fantastic value. It's great for kids; big kids; dads and mums. We got a great big thank you from our Grandson after his birthday. He can now get some practice in to make sure he's a team hot shot, thanks!
I was really happy with this Magnetic Dartboard for my brother. It's a great way for him to have a good night in with his mates.
No Injuries!
Bought this to make our office a little more 'vibrant', and no arguments from my Manager because no one (including the wall) can't get hurt (It's Magnetic remember!)... Definitely woth the money!

Cons: The picture quality is just simply not good enough. In this age of HD flat screen TVs the quality is just very disappointing... Even on a bright day, the video looks like a copy of an analog video. The fact this has a 70x zoom is really a gimmick...

Comment: Look Deeper (Score 2) 247
I think that the United States has a vested political interest in controlling the sale of oil. Which is not to suggest that you are wrong per se, but I think that the US oil policies are better understood in the context of hegemony than fair trade. However, the oil industry has been putting all of their propaganda efforts towards lifting this ban; I mark a half-dozen articles in Forbes alone within the last two years. As long as they can keep away from any concerns about national security, they might get their wish.

MCB Responds to Secretary of State Ruth Kelly MP
Sun 15 Oct 2006
Mrs Ruth Kelly MP
Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government
Elland House, Bressenden Place
London, SW1E 5DU
Dear Secretary of State,
I was not able to attend your speech 'Britain: our values, our responsibilities' on Wednesday Oct 11th. I only came to be notified by a DCLG official about your talk the evening before, and I found that the timing clashed with a meeting I already had in my diary between a delegation from the MCB and the Home Secretary, Dr John Reid (a meeting which turned out to be very constructive).
Anyhow, I have now been able to read your entire speech and would like to offer the following observations:
a) We fully share your conviction that core values such as respect for the law, freedom of speech, equality of opportunity, respect and responsibility for others, should be adhered to and defended by all sections of British society.
b) The Muslim Council of Britain, as the UK's largest and most diverse independent Muslim umbrella body, has since its inception in November 1997 sought to develop a British Muslim discourse centred on the themes of integration, higher educational attainment and working for the common good of all British citizens. In the past nine years, we have launched successful initiatives in schools, prisons, hospitals, mosques and local communities due to our longstanding partnership with over 400 affiliated Muslim organisations across the country. We have a democratically elected leadership whose members are elected every two years and we believe the MCB's grassroots structure and resilience is unparalleled among Muslim organisations in the West.
It is important for you to be aware that the MCB, since its inception as a national representative body, has participated fully in all national events and ceremonies. We are also fully involved in our great national projects, such as the bid for the 2012 Olympics. In fact, two senior members of the MCB were Britain's Olympic bid ambassadors. Lately, I was privileged to be appointed as a board member of LOCOG (London Organising Committee of Olympic Games.) How do you think it was that Lord Coe was able to draw upon London's record of diversity and confident faith and ethnic communities in convincing the Olympic judges of the merit of our bid? Such positive statements could only be made because of the extensive network of partnerships forged by the formidable Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, and faith bodies like the MCB, over a number of years.
We take note of your statement `It is not good enough to pay mere lip service to fighting extremism. I want a fundamental rebalancing of our relationship with Muslim organizations from now on'. We note too, Secretary of State, your speech at the launch of a sectarian Muslim body on 19th July 2006, where you stated, `that is why we are looking to organizations and individuals across Muslim communities to be vocal and challenge the ideology of extremists'. The inescapable and preposterous intimation behind these two remarks, when taken together, appears to be that mainstream Muslim organizations – including the MCB – have been half-hearted in confronting extremists. This is demonstrably untrue and deeply insulting.
We have noted your decision on funding and engagement with some amazement and deep concern. It appears clear to us that the publicly announced 'shift' in your policy regarding funding is arguably unlawful. The indication that only those organisations that agree with your particular strategy as the best way to fight extremism will receive your favours is another way of saying that only those who support your government can expect to receive public funds. Access to public funds should not and cannot be dependent on such considerations as on who is and who is not attending the Holocaust Memorial Day. As a responsible representative organisation the MCB has a duty to represent and reflect the views of its constituents fairly and if those views are unpalatable to the government of the day, so be it. The legal framework and traditions of our country do not allow the government to be vindictive or punitive in the use of public funds. As part of our constitutional duty to work for the common good of British society as a whole and our Islamic commitment to seek justice, the MCB will not be deflected from its duty or commitment to social cohesion and a just society by the possibility of being treated less favourably and unfairly by the government. .....

very cute but I think it runs a little small just because the shoe is very narrow. you might want to go up a half size, especially if you have wider feet. the only thing about these is that they have absolutely no traction/grip at all. be careful or you'll slip

It's possible that he may end up (finally) serving the days that were suspended from all of his past charges.

They were common in most states until the 1850s. One by one, states eliminated them. President Millard Fillmore did not believe the federal government had the right to eliminate them. But, having been an attorney who sued on behalf of businesses for debts, he found it to be a useless practice because a man in prison couldn't pay his debts. When his clients' debts did not get paid, Fillmore's fees did not get paid. So Fillmore advocated on behalf of the elimination of debtors' prisons. I've given you all two civics lesson and one history lesson.

The Eighth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment (interpreted by the courts to include dismemberment and disfigurement).

A win-win for Vermont
With concern for future generations and their power needs, I oppose putting a moratorium on wind power in Vermont, an issue discussed on the Senate floor in the Statehouse. As we have become slaves to imported oil, we must look forward to the use of renewable energy, which is readily available to us in Vermont, namely wind, solar and small hydro. The development and use of local clean energy will keep our money here in Vermont and positively affect our economy.
Using just 4 percent of Vermonts ridgelines, 25 percent of the states electrical needs could be met, which would offset 1.27 billion pounds of carbon dioxide annually. That is the equivalent of removing 111,000 automobiles from the highways. Vermont needs to move forward with the production of wind power to help our economy and reduce greenhouse gases for a win-win situation.
Please join me in urging your legislators to reject a moratorium and make Vermont more sustainable for those who will follow us in the future.
