Cold As Hoth Shots: Star Destroyer Ice Luge
Seen here looking like he's trying to blow an entire spaceship, a man takes a shot of tequila from an Imperial Star Destroyer ice luge (link slightly NSFW, sessy boob-luge).
This is a project I made for my friend's birthday. His two favorite things are Star Wars and drinking [GET ME THIS MAN'S #!]. So I combined the two to make this ice luge. While this doesn't have instructions, I used a chainsaw, electric drill with a one inch spade bit, and a 300 pound block of ice.
I do like how you actually pour in the ship's bridge and it travels down two different channels to the front of the ship. That was a nice touch. Because my college roommates and I got an ice luge one summer and let me tell you: a roommate (who will remain nameless. JK -- it was Porterhouse Pete) puked all over it within the first hour. By the time we'd run enough hot water down it to get all the chunks out we were down to an ice cube. I chewed on it. Aaaaaaaand contracted something.
Hit the jump for a schematic and some build shots. Shots, LOL.

CHICAGO The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has scheduled the reopening of locks and dams on the upper Mississippi River, but floodwaters were still cresting April 23 and were expected to continue to do so at points along the Illinois and Mississippi rivers over the next several days. Meanwhile, flooding in places like Peoria, Ill., and St. Louis continued to affect metal shippers unevenly. Rockford, Ill.-based Behr Iron & Metal Co., which has a location on the Illinois River at Peoria, was still operating April 23 thanks to its decision to raise its shredder, scales and office building 10 feet above the flood plain a couple of years ago, vice president Dave Rumer said. The problem that remains is logistics, he said. ....

President Barack Obama's prospects for expanded background checks for gun sales seem shaky as the Senate Judiciary Committee prepares for Congress' first votes on curbing guns since December's horrific shootings at a Connecticut elementary school.
The Democratic-led panel is also planning to consider bills banning assault weapons and magazines carrying more than 10 rounds of ammunition, making gun trafficking a federal crime and providing more money for school safety equipment.
All four measures are expected to pass the committee.
But the full Senate should be different. Republicans oppose the assault weapons ban and it seems unlikely to survive.
Democrats hope to strike a bipartisan deal on expanding background checks with conservative Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. Those talks have foundered over whether to require records of private gun sales.

Seniors celebrate Christmas
They wore mostly red with some white and green merrily decorated Christmas sweaters as they gathered, ate, danced and saw Mrs. Claus.
That was the scene when hundreds of seniors gathered for the Berkeley Seniors Inc. Christmas Party on Dec. 13 at the Fraternal Oder of Police Lodge No. 19 near Moncks Corner.
A pair of DJs grooved up the party as about 20 lively participants cut a rug on the dance floor performing various line dances. There were a bunch of funny moves, some sassy struts and a lot of laughter.
Everyone then took their seats and the lights dimmed. A white Christmas tree with red decorations lit up the room as Mrs. Claus (Berkeley Seniors Executive Director Tonya Sweatman) made an appearance to read aloud a short Christmas story.

Classy Argentina Side Downs USA, 4-1, in Copa America Opener
A young U.S. Men's National Team played an inspired match against Argentina, taking an early lead but eventually falling 4-1 to the classy South American side in their opening match of the 2007 Copa America in Estadio Jose Panchencho Romero in Maracaibo, Venezuela.
June 28, 2007
MARACAIBO, Venezuela (June 28, 2007) — A young U.S. Men's National Team played an inspired match against Argentina, taking an early lead but eventually falling 4-1 to the classy South American side in their opening match of the 2007 Copa America in Estadio Jose Panchencho Romero in Maracaibo, Venezuela.
The U.S. team featured a line-up that included six players with fewer than 10 caps squaring off against an Argentina side focused on capturing the Copa America crown and earning a spot in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, something the United States did last week by winning the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
"We put a lot of effort into the first 60 minutes, and I think when Argentina raised the level over the last 30 minutes we were unable to match that," said U.S. head coach Bob Bradley after the game. "When you play in tournaments like this, you have to understand the level of competition. We certainly started this tournament playing against one of the favorites. This is the first game. We understand that the first round is three games, so it is critical that we pull ourselves together for the match against Paraguay. Argentina is a good team. We all know they have great players."
The U.S. achieved a dream start against the heavily-favored Argentines, earning a clear penalty kick just seven minutes into the game when Gold Cup hero Benny Feilhaber hit a 30-yard pass with the outside of his right foot that split the Argentina defense and sprung Eddie Johnson on a breakaway. With Johnson free in the area, he was tripped up from behind by Gabriel Milito and Roberto Ayala. On the ensuing penalty kick, the Kansas City Wizards forward confidently slotted the ball to the right, freezing Argentina's World Cup goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri. Johnson now has 11 international goals in 27 appearances.
The USA lead was short lived, though, with Argentina earning a free kick just three minutes later that Juan Roman Riquelme deftly lifted into the area behind the U.S. defense. With Kasey Keller coming off his line, Gabriel Heinze crashed into the ball, keeping it alive for Hernan Crespo to touch home for his first goal of the night.
Argentina's eventual onslaught would begin at the 64-minute mark, with the game tied at 1-1 and Riquelme, Lionel Messi and Crespo all combining on a goal highlighting their world-class qualities. The goal began with Messi impressively dribbling into the U.S. half of the field, playing a perfect give-and-go with Riquelme, and then sliding a precise ball into the area for the lurking Crespo to finish past Keller.
The third goal came on a cannon-header from Pablo Aimar, who exploded through the area to slam home a cross from Heinze from 12 yards out. The powerful header was made even more impressive by Aimar's run, which began outside the area as the ball was sent in and ended at the penalty spot.
The final goal was another bit of Argentinian class, with Riquelme lifting a ball into Carlos Tevez, who, like Aimar, was a second-half sub, behind the U.S. defense to neatly beat Keller with an unchallenged shot into the lower left corner of the goal that skimmed the post as it settled into the net.
The loss for the USA marked their first defeat in more than year, ending the team's 10-0-1 run in 2007 under Bradley. The USA's young line-up featured two debutantes in the match, Marvell Wynne (who started and played 90 minutes) and Herculez Gomez (who entered the game in the 69th minute).
Keller was at his best at the end of the first half, stretching to his right to tip a shot by Juan Sebastian Veron just enough to knick off the crossbar and out for a corner kick. On the ensuing corner, Keller was up to the challenge again, saving a point blank header from Crespo that the U.S. defense then cleared. For Keller, the game was his 101st all-time cap for the USA, moving him into first-place among goalkeepers, ahead of Tony Meola.
The U.S. continues Group C action against Paraguay on July 2 at Estadio Agustin Tovar "La Carolina" in Barinas, before finishing group play against Colombia on July 5 at Estadio Metropolitano de Futbol de Lara in Barquisimeto. Both games are being broadcast live on GolTV and Telefutura, and fans can follow the action on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker.
In the opening match of Group C action, Paraguay defeated Colombia 5-0, behind three goals from Roque Santa Cruz.

Hi there - and welcome to the forum. Yup - this was discovered ::ahem:: a little while ago. :-)
Oops, so sorry. Didn't search. I shall resume lurking.
Hope I didn't scare you off. We're not a bad bunch, generally.
Maybe he thought you were the other "nick"
If you need to build an adapter talk to Nick, AKA MacGyver.
There's also a cucumber hidden somewhere in the car.
...and a really small paper mache Stonehendge............
.....I know what you're thinking....don't go there....
"There's also a cucumber hidden somewhere in the car."
Hopefully it is not to be found in the driver's seat.
The fan speed even goes to 11
Generally, I find my whole MS goes to eleven in every way.
Bass level goes to 12.5.

The mead was good but very expensive considering the amount in each bottle. The staff was pleasant, but this was not worth the $50 value nor even the $25 value that I paid. |
We got there at 5 minutes before the tour was to begin; we could not book in advance, so we worked hard to be there at the right timing.The voucher said Deluxe Tour, cheese and cracker platter, large wine glasses, 8 tastings.and a $10 off 2 bottles.We had to stand the entire time waiting for the tour to begin, but they casually waited around for another 15 minutes. My aunt cannot stand for a long time the tour itself also involved just standing. The place is very small. The Deluxe tour involved standing in their small warehouse and getting a 5 minute talk about making mead, then another 5 minutes standing in their packaging area. That was the tour. Then we went back to their showroom stood while they passed out glasses. I had imagined we would be sitting, but NO. I asked if they had any chairs and they pulled out a tiny portable stool and my aunt sat precariously on that. The tasting was not very well organized and each flavor of mead was poured into same dirty glasses |

Dog's goodbye to her master before funeral of Canvey band Eddie and the Hot Rods's guitarist Dave Higgs
3:00pm Sunday 2nd February 2014 in News By Helen Barnett
AS music legends gathered at Pitsea Crematorium to say farewell to Eddie and the Hot Rods guitarist Dave Higgs, the musician's dog Susie was saying her own goodbye to her master at the home they shared in Zelham Drive, Canvey.
The Canvey musician died of cancer in December, aged 64.
He was part of the South Essex pub rock movement in the Seventies, which saw bands including the Rods and Dr Feelgood, storm the charts.
Yesterday members of both bands joined friends and family to pay their respects.
Dr Feelgood bassist John "Sparko" Sparks paid tribute to the guitarist.
He told the story of how he met Dave when he was 15 when he came to jam with him and Lee Brilleaux in a WI club in Canvey. Dave invited him to join his band, but only if he played bass.
He said: "He taught me what I know. I don't think there would be Dr Feelgood if there hadn't been Dave Higgs. He's really underestimated in the influence he had on people. I know he had a lot on me."
Hot Rods lead singer Barrie Masters said the band only formed after Dave answered Barrie's advert in the Echo.
He said: "He started playing and we realised he wasn't the world's greatest musician, but he had something powerful.
"Like him his songs were direct, to the point and powerful. He had an ability to drag the best out of you.
"He used his mind, didn't follow anyone else. He was an innovator, an original and I am really sad to see him go."
Eddie and the Hot Rods songs Beginning of the End, Quit this Town, Teenage Depression and Do Anything You Wanna Do, were played to more than 50 mourners. Jimi Hendrix song Hey Joe was also played and the poem I'm Free was read.

NuNaturals pure Xylitol (pronounced zi-li-tol) is a white crystalline substance that looks and taste like sugar. Xylitol is classified broadly as a carbohydrate and more narrowly as a polyol. Xylitol is not actually a sugar, but a sugar alcohol. It is different from sweeteners such as a fructose, sorbitol, and glucose because the xylitol molecule has five, instead of six, carbon atoms. Xylitol is slowly absorbed and partially utilized, 40% less than other carbohydrates. Xylitol has been used in foods since the 1960s. In the U.S., Xylitol is approved as a food additive for foods with special dietary purposes. Xylitol does not promote tooth decay.
Our bodies produce up to 15 grams of xylitol from other food sources using established energy pathways. Xylitol is not an artificial substance, but a normal part of everyday metabolism. Xylitol is widely distributed throughout nature in small amounts. Some of the best sources are fruits, berries, mushrooms, lettuce, hardwoods, and corn cobs.

Solaray Bio-Plex Buffered Vitamin C -- 500 mg - 250 Capsules
not as good as it might seem
At first glance, a good value and good formulation: buffered C, with Rose Hips, Acerola Cherry etc. However, Solaray is good at giving the appearance of quality, but still uses cheap ingredients. Compare for example to any truly high quality buffered C: Metagenics, or even Emergen-C. Solaray uses calcium carbonate, which is chalk, and magnesium oxide, instead of the better absorbed and gentler ascorbate forms.
I tried this product for 3 months, and have developed a strange sensitivity to it (itch). Never happened before with my other high quality Cs.

This is a great product and great price.

Q] My child (who has severe temper tantrums) in one of his tantrum suddenly became blue and became unconscious. My doctor says that he is suffering from a breath holding spell. What are breath holding spells?
A] Breath holding spells or breath holding spasms are a benign, involuntary phenomenon seen in children between 6 months and 6 years of age. Either due to pain, fear or in anger frustration the child cries and then holds the breath.
Q] How do children with breath holding spells present?
A] Breath holding spells occur only when the child is awake. There are 2 ways in which children with breath holding spells present
Blue spells are the most common variety though some children may present with both the varieties (mixed)
Blue spells - They are often provoked by an upsetting situation, in anger or in frustration. The child usually cries or screams loudly and then the cry gradually becomes noiseless as child open the mouth and holds the breath for about 20 30 sec. The child turns blue and then the child may again start breathing or may proceed to lose consciousness. Sometimes, fits may follow the loss of consciousness.
* The entire episode may last less than one minute and the child generally regains full activity within a few minutes.
Pallid spells- they are usually seen following a painful or fearful experience. The child becomes pale and often loses consciousness within a single gasp or cry.
Q] How common are breath holding spells?
A] Breath holding spells are seen in 5% of children between 6 months to 6 years of age. They are commonly seen in children between 12 and 18 months and usually disappear by 4-5 years of age.
Q] How frequently does a child get an attack of breath holding spells?
A] The frequently of breath holding spells may vary from 1-2 times in a month to several times in a day.
Q] Why does a child suffer from breath holding spells?
A] Breath holding spell are an involuntary phenomenon (the child does not do it deliberately). They are usually seen in children with temper tantrums and other behavioral disorders.
Q] Do breath holding spells run in families?
A] Yes, a positive family history may be found in about 25% of the cases.
Q] How does one diagnose a case of breath holding spells?
A] Breath holding spells are usually diagnosed clinically. Usually investigations are not necessary in a classical case of breath holding spasm. However an EEG and ECG may be done to rule out epilepsy and cardiac pathology respectively.
Q] How does one manage a case of breath holding spells?
A] The most important aspect of treatment consists of parental support and reassurance. Though these episodes are innocuous, they usually cause lot of parental fear and anxiety. Parents should be told about the involuntary nature of the attacks and cautioned against giving in to the childs wishes. They should be reassured that breath holding spells are not dangerous and do not lead to epilepsy or brain damage. The parents should be encouraged to handle the episode in a relaxed manner. During an attack, the parent should not hold the child upright, instead should make him lie down flat to prevent head injury. Nothing should be put in the childs mouth as it could cause choking or vomiting. After the attack is over, the parents should not give in to the childs wishes.
Parents can also be taught how to prevent a spell. Some children can be distracted from their breath holding if intervened before they becomes blue by distracting them or making them look at something interesting. The parents should be cautioned against running and picking up the child every time he cries to decrease an undue number of attacks.
Behavior modification program may help if a child has frequent tantrums. Parents should be reassured that long term prognosis is very good.
Q] What is the prognosis of children with breath holding spells?
A] Prognosis is excellent. Most of the episodes resolve by the time the child is 4-5 years old. Children with pallid spells may have an increased incidence of syncope as adults.

A nutritionist and dietitian told Channel 8 they both agree holiday weight loss is not necessarily a Christmas miracle... However, the vast majority of people will gain between one and five pounds. That's why they encourage folks to eat in moderation and maintain their weight over the holiday season.
"I think the goal would be to focus on not gaining weight," said Sky Fitness Nutrition Director Jenni Klufa.
The holidays offer many parties and sweet treats. Klufa said most people are guilty of eating a lot of other foods to avoid eating dessert.
"So, you fill up on potatoes and breads and stuff like that, and eventually, you have the dessert, and that's after you've added an additional 500 calories already," she said.
Shopper Kappy Kreppel, 88, told Channel 8 she is not a believer in holiday season weight loss.
"No, never," said Kreppel. "I never have. Lost weight over the holidays? No."
Still, experts said weight loss could be possible for folks with the drive to make it happen. However, that is not a majority of people.
"For a lot of people, calorie moderation is probably going to be the best thing," said Reasor's Dietitian Michelle Moulton. "If you want the piece of pie, fine. Just account for that and don't overeat everywhere else."
Experts said the stress of the holiday season can also inspire more eating and weight gain.

ACEI is leading an effort to shape the
emerging concept of education diplomacy.
A collaborative team is forming soon to help us promote the concept.
On these pages, you will find some resources related to the concept.
Please check back for further updates as we move ahead.
Institute for Global Education Diplomacy
As a key initiative in the education diplomacy program, ACEI offers the Institute for Global Education Diplomacy. The most recent Institute was held 17-20 April 2013, in Washington, D.C. Read more about that event here.
What Is Education Diplomacy?
In its most basic form, Education Diplomacy is the cross-disciplinary, transnational sharing of theories, ideas, and concepts that advance education. This type of sharing has existed for many years and includes international comparative discussions about the purpose and practice of education. People have always been curious about the ways that societies acquire and use knowledge, the way that knowledge is translated into skills, the way that knowledge sustains and transforms societies, and the ways that children learn and are taught. Throughout history, there have been examples of teachers, anthropologists, sociologists, and others with an intense interest in human development traveling great distances to better understand how learning, education, and the cultural tutelage of the young occurs within the context of communities and nations. These international relations of early "explorers" often focused on the exchange of information about the merits of certain philosophies and practices related to formal and informal methods of education. In this way, these early travelers could be considered the first education diplomats.
Types of Diplomacy
Most often, the term "diplomacy" is used to describe the interactions of state officials as they employ a specific set of skills and knowledge in order to influence foreign policy. This is known as "hard diplomacy," as this type of diplomacy is conducted formally to achieve established goals that improve international relations. However, the heart of diplomacy is simply the ability to engage in interactions using skill, tact, and sensitivity. The application of diplomatic skills in this more informal way is known as "soft diplomacy." Both hard and soft diplomacy use a style of interaction that promotes trust and respect and builds mutual understanding between parties without arousing feelings of anger or suspicion.
Today, diplomacy is exercised in various arenas, including public diplomacy, citizen diplomacy, cultural diplomacy, health diplomacy, and even science diplomacy. Each approach uses the skills of diplomatic communication and interaction in order to positively influence a specific concept or sector.
Definitions of Education Diplomacy
There is no formal understanding associated with "education diplomacy" and, therefore, there is no one definition of the concept. In fact, the term is just beginning to be used for the purpose of describing varying ways to shape policies and systems that impact education. In the past, the term educational diplomacy has sometimes been used within the context of international student exchange programs, which expanded students' educational experience and immersed them in other cultures. Today, interactions with broader-scale implications occurring at the international level may be called education diplomacy but might actually be better termed global education diplomacy.
As is the case with diplomacy itself, Education Diplomacy may be practiced using either hard or soft forms and can include a range of actors, from state officials to civil society representatives to teachers. All forms of education diplomacy can be exercised on the macro (international) or micro (local) level. Education diplomats, therefore, can be found advocating for education funding, policies, or innovative approaches to education; supporting the inclusion of education within international treaties; or using skills of persuasion to encourage local authorities to improve access to and the quality of education.
Education Diplomacy Today
Finding solutions to complex societal problems within the context of new global realities requires a different set of skills than those traditionally applied by career diplomats or professional consultants. The distinguishing competencies of education diplomacy, as practiced by education diplomats, consist of the quality and level of technical expertise and understanding of education policy and human rights, and, when practiced on the international level, the ability to build relationships and further education agendas within the global education arena. The importance of education as a bridge for promoting peace, global security, and sustainable solutions to complex human problems is a core concept of education diplomacy.
There are three reasons why education diplomacy should take its rightful place among other diplomacy movements. First, even though education was included in international treaties developed in the mid 20th century, education is now more fully recognized as an essential human right. Therefore, the need to ensure that all people have access to an equitable, quality education is more urgent and requires the skillful delivery of advocacy and knowledge that encourages nations to embrace education and nurture appropriate education practices. Second, the development of free-standing international education movements, such as Education for All, offers new foundations for promoting the importance of education to individuals and to society at large and encourages civil society engagement. Third, education has become widely recognized as a vital ingredient in shaping the trajectory of nations and determining political and socio-economic outcomes. There is much greater appreciation today of the role that education plays in the development of societies, and the participation of societies in efforts to create healthy, productive environments for their citizens and, ultimately, their ability to sustain themselves over time.
Education Diplomacy as a new tool for advancing education may take time to define and shape. However, there is no doubt that applying the skills of diplomacy toward improving education practice, policies, and opportunity will have a positive impact on ensuring that education remains a priority in the overall well-being and development of nations. In the end, all education diplomats have the same goal—to positively enhance and shape education for all people that aligns with their culture and meets the needs of individuals and the society at large.
Why Now?
The world is becoming increasingly globalized and interdependent. Education offers us a platform for ensuring that the next generation is well-versed in topics critical to the human future, such as sustainable development, peace, and human rights. Diplomacy movements offer an effective way to share information and communicate ideas sensitively and appropriately across various cultures and nations. In such a rapidly changing globalized world, the future of humanity itself could be at risk if we do not engage intentionally in efforts that promote sensitive communication and collaboration. Both education and diplomacy are needed in order to achieve a more stable world that offers opportunities for the healthy development of individuals and societies at large. Bringing education and diplomacy together to recognize the new concept of education diplomacy offers a dynamic and powerful tool for positively shaping our world.

Comments: I have gone to the gym for 10+ years using the various ellipical units each has had available for its members. This unit does almost EVERYTHING the gym club units with no travel time. It does not raise so you feel like you walking up hill however with the 20 different resistant levels you do not need this feature. It also has 20 built in programs plus the different effort levels of 1 - 20. My wife is even enjoying using it and she has not been to a gym in 15+ years or had ever used an ellipical prior to this one. We are VERY happy with the machine and would highly recommend to all.

Born in 1927 South Carolina, Eartha Kitt became popular in Paris as a nightclub singer, then returned to the U.S. to appear in films and on Broadway. Her 1953 recording of "Santa Baby" is still a favorite today. In the 1960s, Kitt had a recurring role as Catwoman on TV's Batman, but her career waned after she criticized the Vietnam War during a luncheon with Lady Bird Johnson.
Early Life
Born in North, South Carolina, famed singer and actress Eartha Kitt had a difficult childhood. Her mother abandoned her, and she was left in the care of relatives who mistreated her. Kitt was often teased and picked on because of her mixed-race heritage—her father was white, and her mother was African-American and Cherokee.
Around the age of 8, Kitt moved to New York City to live with an aunt. There, she eventually enrolled in the New York School of Performing Arts. Around the age of 16, Kitt won a scholarship to study with Katherine Dunham, and later joined Dunham's dance troupe. She toured with the group for several years before going solo. In Paris, Kitt became a popular nightclub singer. She was discovered in Europe by actor-director Orson Welles. Welles, who reportedly called her "the most exciting woman alive," cast her as Helen of Troy in his production of Dr. Faustus.
Career Highlights
Kitt became a rising star with her appearance in the Broadway review New Faces of 1952. In the production, she sang "Monotonous." Her performance helped launch her music career with the release of her first album in 1954. The recording featured such signature songs as "I Want To Be Evil" and "C'est Si Bon," as well as the perennially holiday classic "Santa Baby."
On the big screen, Kitt starred opposite Nat "King" Cole in the W. C. Handy biopic St. Louis Blues (1958). She netted her one and only Academy Award nomination the following year, for her role as the title character in Anna Lucasta. In the film, Kitt plays a sassy young woman who is forced to use her womanly wiles to survive. She stars opposite Sammy Davis Jr.
In the late 1960s, Kitt played one of her most famous parts—the villainous vixen "Catwoman." She took over the role, on the TV series Batman, from Julie Newmar. Remarkably, Kitt only played Catwoman on a handful of episodes of the short-lived campy crime show, starring Adam West and Burt Ward, but she made the role her own with her lithe, cat-like frame and her distinctive voice. The series found a second life in reruns, and it remains on the air today.
Known for being blunt and short-tempered at times, Kitt found herself in a media firestorm in 1968. She attended a luncheon on the subject on juvenile delinquency and crime hosted by Lady Bird Johnson at the White House. At the event, Kitt shared her thoughts on the matter, telling the First Lady that "You send the best of this country off to be shot and maimed," according to the Washington Post. "No wonder the kids rebel and take pot." Her remarks against the Vietnam War offended Johnson, and made headlines.

Onscreen Superheroes
The world craves the idea of unattainable perfection, and the superhero—an aspirational figure who is stronger, faster and smarter than the average human—is the epitome of human perfection. For more than two centuries, philosophers, comic book artists, writers and academics have debated the role of the superhero, from how they should interact with society to what they should wear when they're saving the world. And now, with the rash of superhero films in Hollywood, the debate becomes who should portray these larger-than-life characters on the big screen. Here are the actors and actresses who have been chosen to represent the mighty superhero. Whether it's running faster than the speed of light or stopping a speeding train with one hand, these performers are renowned for bringing the vision of the superhero to reality.

My life is a nightmare
New Bark Town was a peaceful place for the residents. Everyday was quiet and the townspeople were happy with their lives.
However...a busy bustle caused an uproar.
It happened all of a sudden when a girl and a boy were getting ready to receive their first pokemons to go on a journey.
None of them expected a third kid to appear. In a blink of an eye, the three pokeballs on the desk were scattered on the floor, the third child picking one up before jumping out the window.
"He stole a pokemon from the lab! After him!" a young professor screamed.
A blur of red was there - and then he disappeared into the forest. The aides dived into the tall grass, and the girl kicked the tree which the thief climbed to escape the pursuers - causing several berries to drop.
"Get back here!" she yelled angrily. Her and her friend were about to follow the aides when the professor caught them.
"It's too dangerous to go into the tall grass by yourselves!" He scolded.
"But what about the thief?" the boy asked anxiously.
"The aides will deal with him - and we'll tell the police about it. In the meantime... let's get back to where we were." Sighing, he presented the remaining two pokeballs to the kids.
"Unfortunately, there isn't much of a choice now."
The boy looked at the two pokeballs briefly before taking one without hesitation.
"This one looks all fired up to get back his friend. I'm taking Cyndaquil!"
"Hey! No fair!" The girl said. However, she took the other pokeball without complaint. "Chikorita also wants her friend back! I bet she can take down that thief with no trouble at all."
"No fighting, kids!" the professor said. The children glared at each other before paying attention to the prof.
"Now, before you get all giddy to catch the thief that took Totodile - there's something you must do. Professor Oak is in Johto for business, and I told him about you two. He said he'd be delighted to give you the Pokedex when you visit him."
"Wow! Professor Oak?" the girl immediately showed interest while the boy just yawned.
"He's staying near Cherrygrove City for now, so off you go."
"But what about the thief - ?" the boy started, but was interrupted.
Sticking out his tongue, the boy got on his skateboard and headed off down the route.
"Hey, wait for me!" the girl yelled as she ran after him with surprising speed.
It is now DAY 1. YOU MAY VOTE.
THIS PHASE WILL BE UPDATED 10/14 0 AM ~ 1 AM GMT +9. This equals to 10/13 10 AM ~ 11 AM EST (GMT -5) with no daylight savings

Practical mod_perl / HTML Book / | ||||
4.2.5. The handler( ) Subroutine |
By default, the mod_perl API expects a subroutine named handler( ) to handle the request in the registered Perl*Handler module. Thus, if your module implements this subroutine, you can register the handler with mod_perl by just specifying the module name. For example, to set the PerlHandler to Apache::Foo::handler, the following setting would be sufficient:
PerlHandler Apache::Foo
mod_perl will load the specified module for you when it is first used. Please note that this approach will not preload the module at startup. To make sure it gets preloaded, you have three options:
You can explicitly preload it with the PerlModule directive:
PerlModule Apache::Foo
You can preload it in the startup file:
use Apache::Foo ( );
You can use a nice shortcut provided by the Perl*Handlersyntax:
PerlHandler +Apache::Foo
Note the leading + character. This directive is equivalent to:
PerlModule Apache::Foo <Location ..> ... PerlHandler Apache::Foo </Location>
If you decide to give the handler routine a name other than handler( ) (for example, my_handler( )), you must preload the module and explicitly give the name of the handler subroutine:
PerlModule Apache::Foo <Location ..> ... PerlHandler Apache::Foo::my_handler </Location>
This configuration will preload the module at server startup.
If a module needs to know which handler is currently being run, it can find out with the current_callback( ) method. This method is most useful to PerlDispatchHandlers that take action for certain phases only.
if ($r->current_callback eq "PerlLogHandler") { $r->warn("Logging request"); }

Register of the Freemen of the City of York: Vol. 2: 1559-1759

'Preface', Register of the Freemen of the City of York: Vol. 2: 1559-1759 (1900), pp. VII. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=48278 Date accessed: 12 March 2014. Add to my bookshelf
(Min 3 characters)
This volume carries the list of the Freemen of the City of York from the 1st of Queen Elizabeth to the end of the reign of George II., a period of 200 years, and, as stated in the previous volume, to the date of Mr. Davies' list, which covers the years from 1760 to 1835. It adds the names and occupations of 16,600 Freemen to those published in Vol. I. Perhaps the principal interest it contains is genealogical, for it will be found that there is a very notable increase in the number of those claiming their freedom by patrimony; and as, in each instance, the name of the father is given it will be found a great help to searchers in tracing their descent from the citizens of York. The most notable admissions to the freedom 'by order' are, perhaps, the names of William, Duke of Cumberland, in 1745, and William Pitt in 1757. It is interesting also to note the very marked addition to the number of trades, arising from the prosperity of the country and the increase in the wealth of the inhabitants of the city, bringing with them the greater demand for the comforts as well as, what were then considered, the luxuries of life.
