The explanations offered for the contrasting records of long-run growth and development among the societies of North and South America most often focus on institutions. The traditional explanations for the sources of these differences in institutions, typically highlight the significance of national heritage or religion. We, in contrast, argue that a hemispheric perspective across the wide range of colonies established in the New World by the Europeans suggests that although there were many influences, factor endowments or initial conditions had profound and enduring effects on the long-run paths of institutional and economic development followed by the respective economies.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — People sent to prison for sex offenses couldn't receive credit toward an early release by earning college degrees under a proposal supported by an Indiana Senate committee.
The Senate's corrections committee voted 8-1 to advance the bill on Tuesday.
Bill sponsor Sen. Jim Merritt of Indianapolis cited the case of a former high school swim coach who was released after serving less than two years of an eight-year sentence for having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl he coached. Merritt says that coach and other convicted sex offenders have "gamed the system" to gain early release.
Merritt says he doesn't want to stop inmates from being able to earn college degrees, but that sex offenders shouldn't use them for early release.

Guinness Lacquered Pork Belly
Author Notes: Pork belly is the cheapest yet the most rewarding cut one can think of. It's fun to eat and fun to make -- it loves sweet, it loves spices, it loves booze, the possibilities are endless. This is one of my favorite dishes for parties, it can be prepared ahead of time, and finished just before serving. It does take some special efforts though -- you will need to guard the fridge so that hubby does not snatch the Guinness before it makes its way into the dish, and you will have to guard the glaze so that the guests do not dip into it before it makes its way onto the pork, but the hard work will be rewarded with the beautiful, succulent, most tender pork imaginable. I like to serve it with shaved Brussels sprouts salad or fennel slaw. - QueenSashy
Serves 6
- 2 pounds pork belly, without skin
- 4 cups Guinness dark stout
- 1 1/2 cup cups wildflower honey
- 1/2 cup agave syrup
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon orange zest, finely shredded
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Salt
- Score the fatty side of the belly in a crisscross pattern, without cutting into the meat. Rub generously with salt, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 200F. In a bowl mix the Guinness, honey, agave syrup, bay leaves and orange zest.
- In a large Dutch oven or casserole heat the oil until sizzling. Add the pork belly and cook over moderate heat until it is nicely browned on both sides. Remove the casserole from the heat and poor in the Guinness mixture. Make sure that the fatty side of the meat is facing up. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, transfer to the oven and roast for 7 hours. Remove the casserole from the oven. Gently lift the pork belly, transfer to a platter and let it cool completely, at least 2 hours.
- Skim all the fat from the roasting liquid. (I do it by pouring the liquid into a bowl and putting it in the freezer for about an hour.). Pour the liquid back into the casserole and bring to boil over high heat. Simmer on medium heat for about 20min, until it is reduced to thick syrup.
- Preheat the broiler. Cut the cold pork belly into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Glaze the cubes with the Guinness syrup on all sides, arrange on a baking sheet and place under the broiler for about 8 to 10 minutes to crisp.
- Using slotted spoon, transfer the pork belly to plates. Spoon the additional Guinness syrup on top and serve.

2005 Portability Study: Meals on the Move
FoodService Director's first annual portability study.
Students at the University of North Colorado, in Greeley, started clamoring for lunches-to-go in the early 1990s, just as the trend for portable meals started to heat up. The university had recently made changes to class schedules, shortening the time between classes and thus forcing many students to skip lunch altogether. They weren't happy about it, to say the least, so foodservice officials seized the opportunity to meet student demands while injecting some life back into their midday meal business.
The portable meal concept grew quickly in Greeley, prompting those officials to offer it at dinner and then, a year later, breakfast. In short order, students were as likely to be carrying meals of some sort between classes as they were backpacks, portable music systems featuring cassettes or CDs (remember those?) and, for a privileged few, laptop computers.
Fast-forward to today, and grab-and-go meal volume amounts to almost a third of overall board plan business, according to Hal Brown, director of dining services. "It's a program that has evolved over the years," he says. "We had so many students requesting it, and, working through our food advisory board, we adapted to the needs of the customer."
Brown and the UNC campus are not alone in that endeavor. Nearly 70% of non-commercial operators participating in FoodService Director's first annual Portability Business-Builder Study offer menu items that are intended to be consumed away from the dining hall. This includes the ever-growing grab-and-go category, consisting of foods that are specifically formulated for portability and, typically, utensil-free consumption (see charts accompanying this study); as well as meals that are portioned and packaged at the time and point of service (otherwise known as "take-out").
Most operators discussing their portable meal business say their portable meal volume is on-par with what study results show: portable meal items account for 25% of total foodservice sales, ranging from 14% in schools to 35% in higher education. Portable sales at operations in the western United States are higher (35%) than all other areas: South, 26.4%; Central, 24%; and Northeast, 19.2%.
Some of the nuances of non-commercial foodservice pose special challenges to successful portable meal implementation. For example: at UNC, like many other campuses, officials wrangle with how to fit grab-and-go meals into meal plans. "We are very cost-conservative on how much we can put into [portable business]," Brown says. "Meal plans were designed to feed students in the dining room, so we have to be sensitive to our missed-meal factor as well as to customer needs."
To do both, operators often set up dedicated portable meal stations, if not full-fledged facilities offering carryout meals and nothing else. At UNC, for example, there are two Gourmet to Go units on campus. Both offer a brown bag meal for three main dayparts that students assemble almost like a reimbursable meal in a grade school. For $4 at breakfast and $5.50 at lunch or dinner, customers make a center-plate selection (cereal and muffin at breakfast, say, or sandwich at lunch), then add a fruit and a beverage. Desserts are included at lunch and dinner.
Yogurt and bagels are the most popular breakfast items, Brown notes. A "simple" turkey sandwich on a baguette tops the lunch/dinner offering, while tuna kits and peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches are close behind. They're the do-it-yourself variety, which students assemble using squeezable packets. Other items include carrot and celery sticks with ranch dressing, soup cups, hot and cold cereal in carryable containers and fresh fruit.
"We try to control the protein items, and the key to [controlling fruit costs] is if [items] are ripe and in season," he adds. "We are studying and looking at different hot [meal] options— that's one of the things students keep requesting, especially during the winter. We're offering hot chocolate and coffee, but haven't made the jump to hot food yet."
Many foodservice directors in higher education can say that their portable meal business is rooted in efforts to adapt to students' changing lifestyles. In this and other market segments, facility modifications drive the shift as well. For example, the cafeteria at The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, N.J., will soon go under renovation, according to Regina Toomey-Bueno, director of food, nutrition and transport. During that time, there will still be customers to serve—so a temporary servery offering pre-packaged items will be set up in the seating area.
This servery "will be much smaller than our regular servery and we'll need to move customers through quickly," she says. "So we expect a sharp increase in portable foods." The current facility has a deli bar offering seven or eight varieties a day, and that will rise to a dozen once construction begins.
"Plus we'll be promoting soup more as a to-go item, and offer a soup-and-sandwich combo," she adds. "Since we'll be offering less hot food, we'll make the effort to make cold items more attractive than they are today."
Toomey-Bueno indicates that her operation's portable volume roughly equates to the 25% non-commercial average. Most of that is pre-packaged salads, sandwiches and burgers, as well as hot foods that are wrapped to go. Both the temporary servery and the new café, once it opens, will feature a number of grab-and-go display cases, both refrigerated and non-refrigerated. There will also be a hot sandwich slide.
Another factor driving growth of portable meal business pertains to the health appeal of items that are inherently portable—namely, salads, wrap sandwiches, and fruit or vegetable cups. That's certainly the case at the Omaha, NE, headquarters of The Gallup Organization, where customers are looking for a lot of low-carb and regular wraps, points out Kerry Moore, Swanson Corp.'s foodservice director there.
Other popular portable items among Gallup's customers include pre-made, grab-and-go salads (especially chicken and Caesar), cut fresh fruit and yogurt-fruit-and-granola parfaits. "We're always expanding our wraps and sandwiches into the healthy area," she adds. "And we try to promote them as healthy items."
Moore notes that grab-and-go items generate 15% to 18% of total sales, with more on the way. "I would expect it to grow as we offer new items," she says, and also because customers are used to being served quickly when they dine out.
More than half of all operators expect their portable sales to increase this year, with schools registering the highest number of positive responses. That may be because schools have the most room for growth in portable business: only 14% of current volume is consumed away from the cafeteria, according to the FSD survey. But that may change as school food authorities modify facilities and services to become more responsive to the needs of students—with the goal of increasing their participation.
For example, Somerset (PA) School District implemented a grab-and-go program in its high school, middle school and four elementary schools this year. "We put a full reimbursable meal into a package and students love it," says Toby Horner, divisional vice president for Metz and Associates, which manages the account.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are featured prominently in the meal, he adds, in keeping with the market's efforts to combat childhood obesity with more healthful choices.
Most operators expecting portable sales to increase this year say that will happen because of their need to respond to customer demands. Almost a third, though, plan a shift in preparation and service to the portable format.
Marketing Matters
So you offer foods to-go—but do your customers know you do?
Foodservice operators often say that demand for portable meal options is not difficult to spot. It's often the case where customers make their needs known clearly—stating them verbally as well as with their dollars.
In fact, 58% of operators expecting portable sales to increase say that's in response to stated customer demands, according to FSD's Portability Business-Builder Study.
But that doesn't mean operators just sit back and expect the pre-packed salads, heat-and-eat burritos or other portable items to fly out the door on their own. The need to market portable meals may not be necessary with respect to customers already familiar with it, but what about new hires? What about diehard "brown-baggers?" Or the fact that you offer portable items for catering?
Alan Lamoureux, corporate foodservice manager for J.M. Family Enterprises, a vehicle distribution and processing firm in Deerfield Beach, FL, says portable meal options available at his cafes are marketed in several ways: at new-hire orientations, in posters and table-tent cards, and via intranet postings.
On the run: At headquarters, there are two cafés, each averaging 335 meals a day; at three separate facilities in Jacksonville, daily lunch volume is 100. Of that, 7% of sales are portable items. "We offer a variety of portable menu items in grab-and-go and take-out styles," Lamoureux, says, "allowing associates to get a quick, wholesome meal on the run.
"We also have an order form on our cafeteria's home page [allowing] customers to order meals to go, which are based on our daily lunch menu."
In addition, the cafés offer packaged and refrigerated dinners for take-home (or back-to-office) in display merchandisers. "Sales are growing as we increase availability, variety and healthier choices" of portable items, he continues. "We expect this piece of business to continue to grow as we listen to feedback on what [customers] are looking for regarding convenience, quality and value. We continue to improve the execution of our preparation and packaging processes to make the portability concept easy and effective."
Electronic marketing—namely, Web site postings and e-mail advertising—is tailor-made for the typical portable meal customer, several operators suggest. "E-mail is probably our biggest advertising [method] right now," says Regina Toomey-Bueno, director of food, nutrition and transport at The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ. Messages to employees communicate menus, specials and service changes.
All menus are posted on the hospital intranet and sent out in paper form weekly. "Plus, there's a weekly hospital newsletter and we put in 'teasers,'" she adds.
All on its own: Other operators say portable meal sales grow through less-specific marketing efforts. Dave Bayne, director of nutrition services at Grand Strand Regional Medical Center in Myrtle Beach, S.C., is one such operator.
Portable sales grew last year for the fourth year in a row, he says, most likely due to "general marketing" efforts. "We're looking at our entire program again, but we're not looking to re-invent the wheel," he notes.
Packing It In
Your portable meal may be only as good as the container in which you package it.
How can you turn brown-baggers into, well, plastic-clamshellers? With a better clamshell, some non-commercial foodservice operators say.
Precisely 50% of operators participating in FSD's Portability Business-Builder Study say they plan on increasing their portable meal business this year by purchasing new kinds of packaging materials that enhance portability, maintain food safety and—maybe most importantly of all—hold up well in transport.
Foam containers are the most commonly used containers, according to the study: 71% of operators use them. Containers with clear lids—whether clamshell, plate or bowl—are also high on the list, indicating a growing emphasis on food helping to sell itself.
The clear choice: "Everything [we serve] is in clear containers," says Kerry Moore, foodsevice director at The Gallup Organization in Omaha, Neb. "They're expensive containers, about twice the cost of foam, but we feel the presentation sells the food."
Foam and plastic are the dominant materials, according to survey responses, with only about one-third of operators saying they use paper containers. At Citigroup in Centen-nial, Co., "we don't have [any] dishes or flatware," says Linda Anderson, foodservice director. That means there's less need for dishwashers, equating to some savings in labor.
"Normal" foam clamshell products are used with entrees, she adds, while soups and salads are taken to-go in containers with a black bottom and clear plastic tops. "We use foam and plastic for everything, not just to-go."
The quest for more functional packaging continues:
- A black, hexagonal salad plate with lid is used at The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, N.J., replacing a clear shell.
- At an Aramark client (a financial institution) in New York, the container used is an elongated box that resembles an Asian food container but is longer and flatter, explains Greta Reinen, foodservice director. Plus, it has a poly-coated interior to prevent leakage.

Definition of alchemy in English:
Line breaks: al|chemyPronunciation: /ˈalkɪmi
- 1The medieval forerunner of chemistry, concerned with the transmutation of matter, in particular with attempts to convert base metals into gold or find a universal elixir: occult sciences, such as alchemy and astrologyMore example sentences
- Like astrology, knowledge of alchemy filtered into medieval Europe through Moorish centres of learning in Spain.
- But it no more belongs in a biology class than alchemy belongs in a chemistry class, phlogiston in a physics class or the stork theory in a sex education class.
- A further compilation of ancient texts concerning astrology, magic and alchemy was the Hermetica, written in Alexandria around 100 AD.
- 1.1A seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination: finding the person who's right for you requires a very subtle alchemyMore example sentences
- He uses everything from chemicals to computers to achieve his effects; but his processes really seem a kind of alchemy or magical transformation, awakening swaths of cloth to the play of the body.
- Where he had consistently been able to pull off the magical alchemy that produced increased public spending and tax cuts, economic growth and falling interest rates, he now had to admit he had got things wrong.
- What is striking is the creative alchemy that transforms authentic personal experiences into imaginative tales.
- More example sentences
- In conjunction with the human voices on the soundtrack, the video installation indexes life as a process in between solidity and liquidity, in exchange and alchemic reaction.
- It is interesting that two centuries ago, when science was evolving past the alchemic level, scientists thought that it wouldn't be long before all the mysteries of the universe would be uncovered.
- With a fine and deft delicacy, nature and landscape are imbued with a soft surrealism, edging towards an alchemic, almost spiritual symbolism.
- More example sentences
- For instance, Charles II of England attempted transmutations and even Sir Isaac Newton spent considerable time decoding alchemical books.
- However, the real goal of alchemical work is not to obtain material gold, but spiritual gold: a state of enormous power, clarity, and purity.
- I love that I can do these intense things to people's bodies, and somehow, through some alchemical transformation, it's not a bad thing.
- More example sentences
- IT HAS been the ultimate goal of alchemists and sorcerers for centuries - the ability to soar past three score years and 10 and enjoy greater longevity.
- The success of charlatans, sorcerers, and alchemists - and all those who abuse public credulity - is founded on errors in this type of calculation.
- These early shamans were also alchemists and practiced astrology.
(also alchemise)
- More example sentences
- Certainly the most English playwright, if by that we mean the dramatist who observes the manners and rancor of the quiet middle class and alchemizes them into delicious and troubling comedy.
- The act of writing down a personal thought alchemizes it into reality.
- A world, of the 30s and the 80s, alchemized in a few words.
Pronunciation: /alˈkɛmɪk/
Pronunciation: /alˈkɛmɪk(ə)l/
late Middle English: via Old French and medieval Latin from Arabic al-kīmiyā', from al 'the' + kīmiyā' (from Greek khēmia, khēmeia 'art of transmuting metals').

Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3, Recombinant Human (IGFBP3, tcag7.703, BP-53; IBP3, IGF-binding protein 3, Growth hormone-dependent binding protein) |
5ug 25ug |
Growth Factors, Cytokines | Storage: -20°CShipping: RT |
Insulin Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 is one of the six homologous proteins that specifically bind insulin-like growth factors and modulate their mitogenic and metabolic actions. IGFBP-3 is the major IGF binding protein present in serum of humans and animals. It is also present in the alpha granules of platelets. IGFBP-3 shows a similar affinity for IGF-1 and IGF-2. IGFBP-3 inhibits follicle stimulating hormone . Markedly decreased levels of IGFBP-3 are observed in patients with growth hormone deficiencies, while markedly elevated levels are observed in patients with high levels of growth hormone (acromegaly). In murine fibroblasts the synthesis of IGFBP-3 is stimulated by mitogenic growth factors such as bombesin, vasopressin, PDGF, and EGF. In human skin fibroblasts the synthesis of IGFBP-3 is stimulated by TGF-beta. Recombinant Human IGFBP-3 is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 264 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 28.8kD. Sequence: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Gly-Ala-Ser-Ser-Gly. Biological Activity: IGFBP-3 is fully biologically active when compared to standards. The ED50, calculated by by its ability to inhibit IGF-II induced proliferation of MCF-7 is less then 0.2ug/ml in the presence of 15ng/ml of Human IGF-II. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile dH2O, 0.1% HSA or BSA and store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Molecular Weight: 28.8kD |
Source: E. coli Purity: 98% by RP-HPLC, FPLC, or reducing/non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stain. Chromatographically purified. Form: Supplied as a sterile filtered lyophilized powder in 20mM Tris HCl.

49. THE HOSPITAL OF THE HOLY TRINITY, DARTFORD 50. THE HOSPITAL OF ST. MARY MAGDALEN, DARTFORD Footnotes
Henry VI on 20 June, 1453, granted licence for John Bamburgh, William Rothele, Roger Jouet, and Thomas Boost, to found an almshouse of divers dwellings of the vicar and churchwardens of the parish church of Holy Trinity, Dartford, and five poor persons to be maintained in it by them, to pray for the good estate of the king and queen, and for their souls after death, and for the support of other works of charity. The vicar and churchwardens were to be masters of the house, and they might acquire lands and rents to the value of £20 yearly. (fn. 14)
Here also was a hospital in 1256, (fn. 15) which is mentioned in the will of William Quoyf in 1491. (fn. 16) In a rental of the manor of Temples in 1509 it is called the 'Spytell House.'

Getting Started with Condor
To test our new condor setup, let's create a simple "Hello Condor" job:
#include int main() { printf("Hello World!\n");}
Compile the application with gcc.
Now, to submit a job to Condor, we need to write a submit file. A submit file describes what Condor needs to do with the job—that is, where it will get the input for the application, where to produce the output and if any errors occur, where it should store them:
Universe = Vanilla Executable = hello Output = hello.out Input = hello.in Error = hello.err Log = hello.log Queue
The first Universe entry defines the runtime environment under which Condor should run the job. Two Universes are noteworthy: for long jobs, such as those that will last for weeks and months, the Standard Universe is recommended, as it ensures reliability and the ability to save partial execution state and relocate the job to another machine automatically if the first machine crashes. This saves a lot of vital processing effort. However, to use the Standard Universe, the application must be "condor compiled", and the source code is required. The Vanilla Universe is for jobs that are short-lived, but long jobs also can be executed if the stability of the machines is guaranteed. Vanilla jobs can run unmodified binaries.
Other Universes in Condor include PVM, MPI and Java, for PVM, MPI and Java applications, respectively. For more detail on Condor Universes consult the documentation.
In this example, our executable file is called hello (the traditional "Hello Condor" program), and we're using the Vanilla Universe. The Input, Output, Error and Log directives tell Condor which files to use for stdin, stdout and stderr and to log the job's execution. Finally, the Queue directive specifies how many copies of the program to run.
After you have the submit file ready, run condor_submit hello.sub to submit it to Condor. You can check on the status of your job using condor_q, which will tell you how many jobs are in the queue, their IDs and whether they're running or idle, along with some statistics.
Condor has many other features; so far we have covered only the basics of getting it up and running. A number of tutorials are available on-line, along with the Condor Manual (www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual), that will teach you the basic and advanced capabilities of Condor. When reading the Condor Manual, pay particular attention to the Standard Universe, which allows you to checkpoint your job, and the Java Universe, which allows you to run Java jobs seamlessly.
You also can add Condor to the boot sequence of your central manager and other machines. You can shut down cluster machines, and their jobs will continue or restart on a different machine (depending on whether it's a Standard Universe job or a Vanilla job). This allows for a lot of flexibility in managing a system.
Condor is not only about clusters. An extension to Condor allows jobs submitted within one pool of machines to execute on another (separate) Condor pool. Condor calls this flocking. If a machine within the pool where a job is submitted is not available to run the job, the job makes its way to another pool. This is enabled by special configuration of the pools.
The simplest flocking configuration sets a few configuration variables in the condor_config file. For example, let's set up an environment where we have two clusters, A and B, and we want jobs submitted in A to be executed in B. Let's say cluster A has its central manager at a.condor.org and B at b.condor.org. Here's the sample configuration:
FLOCK_TO = b.condor.org FLOCK_COLLECTOR_HOSTS = $(FLOCK_TO) FLOCK_NEGOTIATOR_HOSTS = $(FLOCK_TO)
The FLOCK_TO variable can specify multiple pools, by entering a comma-separated list of central managers. The other two variables usually point to the same settings that FLOCK_TO does. The configuration macros that must be set in pool B authorize jobs from pool A to flock to pool B. The following is a sample of configuration macros that allows the flocking of jobs from A to B. As in the FLOCK_TO field, FLOCK_FROM allows users to authorize the flocking of incoming jobs from specific pools:
FLOCK_FROM=a.condor.org HOSTALLOW_WRITE_COLLECTOR = $(HOSTALLOW_WRITE), $(FLOCK_FROM) HOSTALLOW_WRITE_STARTD = $(HOSTALLOW_WRITE), $(FLOCK_FROM) HOSTALLOW_READ_COLLECTOR = $(HOSTALLOW_READ), $(FLOCK_FROM) HOSTALLOW_READ_STARTD = $(HOSTALLOW_READ), $(FLOCK_FROM)
The above settings set flocking from pool A to pool B, but not the reverse. To enable flocking in both directions, each direction needs to be considered separately. That is, in pool B you would need to set the FLOCK_TO, FLOCK_COLLECTOR_HOSTS and FLOCK_NEGOTIATOR_HOST to point to pool A, and set up the authorization macros in pool A for B.
Be careful with HOSTALLOW_WRITE and HOSTALLOW_READ. These settings let you define the hosts that are allowed to join your pool, or those that can view the status of your pool but are not allowed to join it, respectively.
Condor provides flexible ways to define the hosts. It is possible, for example, to allow read access only to the hosts that belong to a specific subnet, like this:
Open source?
The Condor FAQ is pretty clear that source is not distributed freely.
How is Condor in any way 'Open Source'?
You just send a request
You just send a request email, and they give you access to a website with the source.
And the license allows you to do anything you want with the source (redistribute, make derivative works), ala BSD style.
Right source code is NOT
Right source code is NOT available from the website, however it is STILL opensource, because if you request it from them and have a good reason to do, like extending it for something, they will not deny the request.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

I think that's awesome! I don't understand the people saying that these are more creepy than the old ones, I'm less scared by something that looks lifelike than something that always has eyes wide open and whose face doesn't move!
And I like Hook & Smee this way... they are people, so they should be face. !!
They the characters look ok
Where Magic Lives
"its a glorious three hour finale I call A Tribute to all Nations but Mostly AMERICA!"
"Now approaching Tomorrowland's Space Mountain"
I saw them today--Hook and Smee aren't bad at all live!
i'd have to see hook and smee in person to make a fair judgement...but i think it makes more sense for them to be face characters...the more "realistic" heads look pretty cool to me...and i think kids are either going to be scared of them whether or not their eyes blink...it depends more on the individual child...i was never afraid of the characters(maybe more shy around them) and my brother was only scared of prince john bc he had "scary eyebrows"
"There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of everyday. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, just a dream away!"
When I grow up I wanna be a Disney
Just saw the video... They look REAL. It's a big improvement for them. I guess they have heads for all the costumes(Pirate Goofy and Dream Goofy) They look amazing. I can't wait to see them live.

wow i cant believe that i think it is going to take me a while to get used to hook and smee but i like the new characters that would be awesome if they could interact with the guests!!

March 12, 2014
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas has introduced Bret Bielema as its head coach, bringing to an end a nearly eight-month search for Bobby Petrino's long-term replacement.
Bielema leaves Wisconsin after compiling a 68-24 in seven seasons, including last week's win over Nebraska in the Big Ten championship game that clinched the school's third straight Rose Bowl berth. The 42-year-old says he won't coach the Badgers in their upcoming bowl game.
The Illinois native takes over a Razorbacks program hit hard by the Petrino scandal. Petrino was fired for hiring his mistress, the team stumbled to a 4-8 finish under interim coach John L. Smith and missed a bowl game for the first time since 2007.
Bielema will receive $3.2 million annually for six seasons.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered an inspection of more than 1,000 US-registered Boeing 737s to examine the tails for a potentially faulty part, which it said could cause pilots to lose control of the aircraft if it failed.The airworthiness directive (AD) issued by the FAA calls on airlines and other operators to replace fixing pins with improved pins following concerns over how their protective surface coating was applied. The rule applies to 1050 Boeing 737s flown by US carriers and takes effect from May 20.Boeing said the rule had been in the works over the past year, and was not linked to any incident involving the planes. Such safety directives are common in the aircraft industry and do not require planes to be grounded."We are issuing this AD to prevent premature failure of the attach pins, which could cause reduced structural integrity of the horizontal stabiliser to fuselage attachment, resulting in loss of control of the airplane," the FAA said in the directive issued on Monday.Boeing noticed that the finish had degraded on some recently installed attachment pins, and alerted aircraft operators to it last April. The FAA directive requires inspection of the pin after 56,000 flights. None of the planes affected have more than 40,000 flights, Boeing said.The FAA said the inspection was "prompted by reports of an incorrect procedure used to apply the wear and corrosion protective surface coating to attach pins of the horizontal stabiliser rear spar."FAA said its directive may cost up to USD$10.1 million across the US fleet, or up to USD$9,627 per aircraft. It applies to models including 737-600, 737-700, 737-700C, 737-800, 737-900, and 737-900ER series aircraft.The airworthiness directive was posted on the website of Federal Register.In a separate directive, the FAA ordered inspections of the fuel tanks of more than 600 Boeing 757s to ensure that secondary vapour barriers are in proper condition. If the barrier failed, it could allow fuel or fumes into the cabin where they could be ignited, "which would result in a fire or an explosion," the FAA said. The new inspection rule also takes effect May 20. Source: Reuters

For International Women's Day, the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) will hold a high-level conference called 'Inspiring Change to Promote Women's Rights and Dignity'.
This briefing paper highlights some of the complex factors relating to equitable access to sanitation in South Asia, by illustrating case studies from countries across the region. It analyses barriers to access through the lens of social, economic, political, geographic, environmental and administrative factors.
Sanitation in South Asia: it's a problem of scale – as development initiatives concentrate on big numbers, those who are excluded are marginalized further.
In this short film, WSSCC, Freshwater Action Network South Asia, and WaterAid captured the thoughts, hopes and dreams of ordinary people in South Asia about sanitation and hygiene.
Depuis 2010, nous sommes confrontés au fait que 716 millions d'hommes, de femmes et d'enfants défèquent à l'air libre tous les jours en Asie du Sud, ce qui est tout à fait honteux.
Women for Water Partnership (WfWP) is a worldwide strategic alliance of local, national and international women's organisations and networks, active in the areas water & sanitation, poverty and …
This paper describes the experience of NEWAH, a national NGO based in Nepal, as a case to describe the challenges, but also the benefits and the lessons learned while focusing hygiene promotion on men.
Why does Sarita sometimes miss her classes? The radio drama in Nepali will tell you...
This study examines the impact of gender approaches in Nepal to ensure participation from women and men in water resources management.

DERRY — Fewer diners and a need to accommodate weddings and other special events has forced the popular Brookstone Grille to close.
The restaurant, located at Brookstone Event Center on Route 111, shut its doors Jan. 31, according to center general manager Alex van den Broek.
Four full-time and 16 part-time workers were laid off shortly after the last meal was served Jan. 29, he said. The business opened in 2005.
The slumping economy made it difficult for the restaurant to succeed, he said.
"The community liked the restaurant, but there is a lot of competition in the restaurant business," van den Broek said.
An increased demand for weddings at Brookstone meant more space was needed for the business to prosper, he said.
"Even in this economy, people are still getting married," van den Broek said. "For this year, there isn't a single Saturday left."
The decision to close the restaurant was bittersweet, especially since it meant laying off employees, van den Broek said.
Expanding Brookstone will begin this fall, with a 8,900-square-foot conference center and meeting room to be constructed on the second floor. The space was previously rented out, van den Broek said.
The 6,000-square-foot former restaurant will be used as function space, he said. No major changes will be made to the 4,000-square-foot ballroom.
There will be more space for outdoor bookings, he said. Special events, such as the traditional Easter brunch, will continue.
Brookstone now has four full-time employees and 25 part-timers, van den Broek said. Those numbers will double after the expansion, he said.
Customers who have gift certificates can receive refunds or redeem them at the pro shop, miniature golf course or event center, van den Broek said.
News of the restaurant's closing is circulating throughout the community.
Kristin Perry of Atkinson Resort & Country Club said she was sorry to hear Brookstone Grille shut its doors.
Perry agreed with van den Broek that the economy has taken its toll on local restaurants. But business at Atkinson has been improving, she said.
"It's picked up in the last year," Perry said.
William Parnell, president of the Greater Derry Londonderry Chamber of Commerce, said he was disappointed to hear the restaurant closed. He said he enjoyed dining there.
"There is always a concern when a business closes down," he said. "I think it's a big loss to the community."

The life of a college student is awesome. But it's also expensive. Every year you spend at college costs money.
If saving money is important, look for a college that fits you well and provides the support you need to finish your degree on-time.

Can't update android on a Huawei U8230.. any suggestions?
Hi all
I'm new to Android and would be grateful if you guys gave me some answers to my questions.
I'm using a Huawei u8230 (firmware version 2.1-update1, build number U8230V100R001ARBC200B862)
which i bought from a carrier few years ago.
I tried to update it but couldn't find the option under "about phone."
Someone has told me that this android is a custom one installed by the carrier who sold me the phone and it could be non-updateable.
1) how can I update to the latest version in this case?
2) is my phone old for the newest android version? will it be slow?
3) is it possible to install a new original up-to-date android from scratch?
Thanks in advance. - 02-05-2013, 04:15 PM #2
Re: Can't update android on a Huawei U8230.. any suggestions?
You can try rooting your phone and putting a custom ROM on it. Not all phones have custom ROMs running the most up to date version of Android.

Re: Can't update android on a Huawei U8230.. any suggestions?
Thank you Devinator for your reply,
I have already rooted my phone using a software called Unlock Root, in order to use an application that required a rooted phone. but I don't know how to put a custom ROM on it.
is putting a custom ROM the next step after rooting? - 02-06-2013, 05:43 AM Thread Author #4
Re: Can't update android on a Huawei U8230.. any suggestions?
I installed Rom Manager 4 and when I touch "download ROM" I get an error message telling me to update to the latest version of Rom Manager, and of course I can't because of my android version limiting me. it's like a vicious circle. I want to update my android in first place so I can run apps that won't install and give me parsing errors. and now I'm having a hard time installing a custom ROM because of my obsolete android version.
Is there a way out of this cycle? - 02-07-2013, 07:15 AM #5
Re: Can't update android on a Huawei U8230.. any suggestions?
I have never used ROM Manager, but, I feel like it is not recommended. See if you can find a custom ROM for your device using Google. Try a ROM like CM. If you can't find one, you might be out of luck. The more popular the device, the more ROM development that is done for it. And vice versa.

Re: Can't update android on a Huawei U8230.. any suggestions?
If you want to void the warranty on your phone (installing a ROM does that) and if you want to risk turning your phone into a garden ornament. Flash the wrong ROM, or even the right ROM in the wrong way, and it takes an expert with special hardware to make it work again. (And a new phone is cheaper.)

There's something inherently manly about drinking a big ass pint of stout. Even someone like myself who prides himself on not being a beer snob feels a certain sense of superiority when I'm standing in a bar full of "men" drinking Bud Lights while I'm hoisting up a big meaty glass of full on pitch black beer goodness. And by no means do I mean this to be sexist. If you're a gal who enjoys knocking back a few stouts then I solute you and also ask this question. What brand of tampon did you just send your husband/boyfriend out to buy for you?
Who could kill a child? Turns out most of us, pretty easily in fact.
It's a baby, FROM HELL!
