In case you hadn�t noticed, there�s been an Australian fashion invasion lately. And though you wouldn�t expect that the Seoul-based husband-and-wife team Hanii Yoon and Gene Kang would be part of it, their new collection was in fact inspired by a trip Down Under. Specifically, they took as their central concept an intricate patchwork modeled after Lab architecture�s glass-and-metal mosaic of buildings in Federation Square, Melbourne.
Though beautifully made, these patchworkscircling the yoke of a chemise or banding the bust of a silver jumper dressdidn�t have much resonance. But that isn�t to say the collection didn�t have appeal. Especially interesting were the tight pants with buttons at the back of the heel, and a black silk-taffeta moiré tuxedo with four large bone buttons that would even turn Beau Brummell�s head. The slinky, silky champagne-and-caviar dresses were pretty, too.
But the best looks were the more substantial, tailored ones: coat-dresses (a red moiré and a black double-breasted one) and a jacquard trapeze jacket with a drawstring closure. The pièce de résistance was a short, black sheared-mink coat with puffed sleeves. It fairly bloomed with fur roses.

Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo: Hotter than the Gallardo Version?
The Lamborghini Huracan has not been on the scene for long, but there is already a sick new version. The Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo boasts different specs from the Gallardo Super Trofeo sibling and a racier appearance. Lamborghini touted the Huracan Super Trofeo for the first time at the elegant Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo version at a glance: This wicked sister was created to compete. She will begin with the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo next year. The official name is the Lamborghini Huracan LP 620-2 Super Trofeo. As the numbers suggest, this one will offer … Continue reading

Want the Last Lamborghini Aventador Roadster? It Is in Germany
The very last Lamborghini Aventador roadster is for sale at a dealership in Germany. Interested parties just need to have 5.4 million euros in the bank and you know…be in Germany. It seems like yesterday that the amazing Aventador first hit the exotic sports car scene with its signature orange coat and mind-bending power. Now the very last one has been made, marking a possible end to the model. Would you shell forth around $7.6 million USD for a Lamborghini Aventador? That is the asking price for the last one, located at a German dealership. If you do not have … Continue reading

Photo Gallery: The Vorseiner Lamborghini Aventador LP700 Kit is Legit
Aftermarket specialist Vorseiner crafted a body kit for the vicious LP700. The Vorseiner Lamborghini Aventador kit replaces certain accent panels with carbon fiber, accentuating the curvaceous lady. You could consider the Vorseiner Lamborghini Aventador kit a way to murder it out in carbon fiber. This green looks sick, as would any number of colors. This kit is the Skittles. Those purchasing this Aventador kit would likely end up coating the cockpit in carbon as well. The addiction to carbon fiber is real. Front angle. Slick profile. Carbon close-up. Carbon all over This car is thirsty. Carbon rear wing. Agressive … Continue reading
Lamborghini Aventador Fitted with New Engine Bursts into Flames
The Lamborghini Aventador is one of the best hypercars ever produced by the Raging Bull. It is backed by an impressive amount of awards to show that I am not the only throttling heart to feel that way. Recently, an orange Lamborghini Aventador met its flaming end on Germany's famed autobahn, apparently overheating, yet the details are a bit on the fascinating end. Gone in 60 MPH? A pricey Lamborghini Aventador with a replaced engine meets its flaming end on the fastest road: Germany's autobahn. What happened? It seems that this particular Lamborghini Aventador was fitted with a new engine. … Continue reading

What an Autocross Driving Experience Really Gives You
There are automobiles engineered for sensible purposes like daily commutes, and then there are the supercars. These thirsty speed demons were created to defy logic, speed limits and that little tremble inside that says 'slow down'. The thing is, supercars also come with a fantastic price tag, making them seemingly out of reach for the masses. That is where Imagine Lifestyles Luxury Rentals comes into play. For just a few hundred dollars, formerly out-of-reach Ferraris and Lamborghinis can be enjoyed on an autocross track for the complete exotic driving experience! How it works Our autocross events take place at major … Continue reading

2014 Lamborghini Aventador LP988 "Edizione-GT" By DMC
Aftermarket tuners DMC got their tools on an Aventador, and the result is pretty awesome! What you are looking at is the Lamborghini Aventador LP988 Edizione-GT by DMC. She is being billed as a stage 3 program, and it would be a shock if anyone would kick her out of their garage. The Lamborghini Aventador LP988 Edizione-GT takes the standard version up a few decimals and finishes her off with a bright shiny new coat. To be perfectly clear in the performance arena, that 988 inserted into the name does in fact indicate her horsepower. That takes the LP988 Edizione … Continue reading
New Record Holder for Most Expensive Lamborghini Countach Ever Sold
Older Lamborghini models are netting serious resources lately. A 1975 Lamborghini Countach LP400 Periscopa has just hit the auction block for a staggering $1.21 million at Bonhams in Greenwich. The sale took place at the prestigious Greenwich Concours d'Elegance on June 1st, 2014. A new record for the most expensive Lamborghini Countach ever sold goes to this Periscopa. This model nabbed over a million at auction. While it seems a touch surprising that a Lamborghini Countach never breached the million dollar marker before, it is quite true. The previous record holder for most expensive Lamborghini Countach ever sold belonged to … Continue reading

The Nasty Lamborghini Huracan LP850-4 Lucifero by Wheelsandmore
Fans of the all-new Lamborghini Huracan now have something to ignite further fire for the model: One of the first tuned versions of the Huracan. It is dubbed the Lamborghini Huracan LP850-4 Lucifero and it is by Wheelsandmore. Yes, that 850 part of the name does mean it unleashes a sinister 850 horses–making the Lucifero an appropriate touch to the title as well. The Lamborghini Huracan LP850-4 Lucifero by Wheelsandmore is even more aggressive than the Aventador. The popularity of the Lamborghini Huracan is speculated to have already surpassed that of its long-running predecessor, the Gallardo. Factor in some fierce … Continue reading
Lamborghini Huracan Police Car in Italy
Those poor Italian law enforcement officers have been given yet another car. This time the force is with them in the form of a Lamborghini Huracan police car. The Italian squad already boasts a number of badass exotic sports cars, and the Huracan is the latest from the Raging Bull logo. Many wonder if the Italian police force actually uses their many supercars for daily patrols and duty. The answer to that is some of them. The Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 could certainly catch up to any speeding suspect…unless it were perhaps an Aventador LP 700-4 or a Koenigsegg Agera. … Continue reading

A tremendous fun filled time was had at Stonethrow in Gillsville Georgia this weekend. Ron and Paula once again were great hosts and treated us like family. We most certainly appreciate the effort you put into this event. As always the weekend went too fast but Rosie and I look forward to next year. We left about 4:30 Saturday afternoon and drove until my eyes went crossed at 10:00 pm. We pulled into a rest stop just inside Kentucky for a ninety minute nap and hit the road again. We pulled into the barnyard safe and sound about 2:30 this morning.
Another thanks goes to that Grandpa to all kids, Charles, aka Corky's Cub. He sure kept the kids entertained both days with his hay rides. I'm sure it made the weekend easier for the parents.
Of course Doctor Bob deserves a big, personal pat on the back from Rosie and me for putting Rosie's mind at ease after her absessed tooth left the right side of her face about the size of a softball. She sure slept better Friday after getting some advice.

- Love itOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014This is my favorite place in Seattle. It never disappoints.Special Features:
- Beautiful with great serviceEvaEDined on 8/28/2014Our first visit, and we were treated well from start to finis. The greeting at the door is warm and friendly, the hostess engages in chitchat when seating guests, the waiter was excellent with recommendations and checking on us, and random staff all wished us a good night as we passed them on our way out. The view is wonderful, and the food was great, which was a bonus as I had my visiting mother-in-law with us, who is used to eating seafood on the Gulf Coast (originally from Houston). The Whiskey Dungeness Crab Soup was great, as was the crab rockefeller, and the desserts were huge! There were hidden booths that I passed by that looked perfect for a romantic dinner date as well. Only wish is that the parking would be comped.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fresh and foodieBryceDined on 8/28/2014Crab, Crab, Crab. Fresh and wonderful. Their menu is extensive and lots of fantastic choicesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- YESOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/27/2014The service we received was outstanding! We enjoyed being on the deck outside overlooking Lake Union and the food was quite good. Watch for the up-sale ... but other than that we are very happy with this restaurant and would definitely come again.Special Features:
- Can never go wrongDex66VIPDined on 8/27/2014I have never had a bad experience at Chandler's. The food, service and ambience are all outstanding. Even when it's a work dinner it feels like a special occasion. One of my favorite places!Special Features:
- Maria - Superb WaitressLuLuDined on 8/25/2014Maria was our waitress the other night. Speaking for my date as well, I can honestly say she was one of the best waitresses I can recall ever having. She was energetic, witty, and incredibly friendly. We obviously loved the scenic views of the water front on a beautiful summer evening, the food, and drinks list, but we both felt great and very comfortable having Maria as our server. She was professional yet charming and was very knowledgeable about anything concerning the food or beverage menus. Maria was fantastic! I'd assume she gets tons of these rave reviews but I wanted to give me 2 cents and let her know we really appreciated her! Tell her thank you from us! - Lu and SaraSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointed!Vily6188Dined on 8/24/2014Been here several times in the past and always loved the food but after this dining experience, we will not be ever coming back! Took at least 10 minutes + for someone to bring us some water. The guy who brought us water did not smile at all or even say hello. Server showed up 5 minutes later. Nice guy but didn't seem too interested in helping us. Drinks came out after our food was delivered and were lukewarm. Not even cold! Food wasn't hot either. Server never asked us if we needed anything or how our food was. I receive better service at my local ivars.Special Features:
- Outstanding crab cakesJobobDined on 8/21/2014I had the best crab cakes at Chandler's and like how beautiful the crab cakes looked!Special Features:
- Happiness on the deckOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/21/2014Logan, Andrew,Jesus You all 3 made our anniversary a special night. Food suggestions were taken and perfect. Suggested wine was perfect. I never felt as if I was being up sold. I felt like it was an occasion for staff to show off their food. We had a lovely evening. And we are now loyal crab Rockefeller lovers. And the crab and artichoke dip is excellent. Dans steak was perfect. My crab cakes were perfect. Life is good at chandlers cove. AllysonSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service was HorribleKOKODined on 8/18/2014Completely disappointed in the service provided by Brian at Chandlers. Brian appeared to go out of his way to be sarcastic the entire meal. The only value he brought to the meal was his knowledge of oysters. The food was good and would only recommend it because of that, but would warn people of the service.Special Features:
- Overpriced!suzyDined on 8/18/2014The food was OK, but very overpriced. Sides were extra. One crabcake for $17? Come on. Drinks were packed with so much ice we had to order a second shot to even taste the liquor.Special Features:
- Great placeLonghornDined on 8/17/2014The service was excellent, view was great, food very good. Only disappointment was the Dungeness crab cakes. They list them as the worlds best, but being a fan of Baltimore crab cakes, they fell short. The salmon was a little too salty, but cooked to perfection. Had an heirloom tomatoe salad that was extremely refreshing. Service was awesome. Would easily go back, just wouldn't order the crab cakes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/17/2014We have never been disappointed with the food, service, and view. It is one of Seattle's best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Not satisfied with dinnerAngeeDined on 8/9/2014The food was poor, nothing special , dungeness crab entree for $69 included a crab,a scoop of mashed potatoes and some bland steamed Chinese brocolli. I still was hungry. For the money we paid I would go somewhere else.The service could be better.
- mydubDined on 8/8/2014We ate out side on dinning side. This was the worst. Dirty table i.e. moss on under side, kids running around in dinning area yelling, food was bad, I had halibut with a cube of butter on it.Special Features:
- Impressing our guestsWestSoundFoodieDined on 8/8/2014We certainly did that! The view, especially, on a wonderful, sunny, early Friday evening.

- Spectacular scenery!NMNATIVEVIPDined on 7/31/2014This is better than just a tourist spot - the food was very good and the scenery was fantastic! Beautiful view of sailboats, sea planes taking off and landing, paddle boarders... We had a halibut and crab cake combo dinner and split it between 2 of us which was perfect! The sourdough bread and Caesar salad were delicious too. The dessert we had was out of this world... White chocolate raspberry ice cream with chocolate chips... Wonderful meal with beautiful view!Special Features:
- Great view, great foodSeaHawks1Dined on 7/31/2014Chandlers was very nice, and very packed. Outdoor seating was great, although they didn't have umbrellas for the larger tables so you'd better like sun and a breeze if your a party larger than 4. The service was very good with attentive wait staff. The view was spectacular, and I live in Seattle. Float planes dropping over your head and landing among the sailboats and paddle boarders. You must try the crab cakes...fantastic. getting to Chandlers is a bit of a zoo, but parking is good as they have their own lot and they stamp your parking ticket so its free. Not cheap, nor really expensive...a group of six adults had many appetizers, full entrees, drinks, a bottle of red for about $500.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/31/2014It has always been a good restaurant. On the night I was ther, our server seemed to have too large a station and service sufferedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- View, not food, pricelessOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/30/2014Watching the seaplanes and other activity on Lake Union on a nice day is wonderful. But the food here is unexceptional and mostly overpriced. So my recommendation is to go for the ambience and drinks, and order food judiciously.Special Features:

- A Seafood treatDariviDined on 7/22/2014Chandler's has been a gem for many years, but unlike many long established venues, it seems to be at a peak in terms of food and service. I often dine here for lunch as it is by far the best quality restaurant in So Lake Union open at lunch. The seafood is absolutely the freshest and well thought out.Special Features:
- Best crab cake I have ever hadfsdukejrDined on 7/20/2014Received gift cards for Christmas before moving to Seattle so we drove 40 minutes north from our new home in Federal Way. The claim they serve the "world's best crab cake" and we agree, 8oz of crab meat and no filler plus 3 sauces. Charcuterie was a shared starter of smoked and raw seafood plus salmon dip and crackers and very good. You don't need 2 of them. Seasonal salad was a mixture of different types of tomatoes. Excellent fresh sourdough rolls. Parking was $5 but they could add it to your bill so you did not have to pay outside.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointingss12VIPDined on 7/20/2014We had heard good things about chandlers and went there for brunch one rainy sunday morning. Approaching the building I was expecting the place to be dated, it looks a little from the outside. But once inside, I was pleasantly surprised by the light, open atrium space. Our waiter was disappointing. We had several issues throughout the meal - all relatively small things but they add up. For example, bringing the incorrect coffee, then when the replacement was brought it was cold. I ordered the crabcake with poached egg. It was pretty tasty except for the pieces of cartilage I kept finding and pulling out. It made it an unpleasant experience. The rest of the group enjoyed their food, but nothing to rave about. All in all, I won't go back.Special Features:
- SEATTLE'S VERY BEST !gourmetgoddess1VIPDined on 7/19/2014Recommended from a client who visited Seattle last year. What a find....the best view, the most outstanding crabcakes I ever ate, excellent and knowledgeable server (Kristin) and the 32 ducks marching in a row on the bay ! Cannot be beaten. Will be recommending this restaurant to all my clients visiting Seattle before or after their Alaskan cruises. And save room for dessert....pineapple sorbet was to die for !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- best crab everOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 7/19/2014Our family celebrated my son's MA graduation at Chandlers Crabhouse. Almost everyone ordered cracked Dungeness crab and we were thrilled. My mom had a steak which was very good too. Excellent service, knowledgable waitress ,cute and friendly. Superb in every way. The deserts were outstanding too. Not necessarily for foodies, but wonderful fresh and simple. We loved it and would go back any time!Special Features:

Wow, that is one powerful piece of work! Qualifying for all four classes must have been tough, though, not to mention the down payment on all those levels you take and then forget about from the first three classes.
Big pimpin if you get that far though, eh?
Conjecture: they are previewing this material so that we know the 5e bard will be a badass-of-all-trades, and not the awkward, backup-singer exemplified by Elan of OotS?

The Gygaxian prose is, as always, alternately amusing and fascinating. From "subsumes" in the first sentence, to "Racaraide" as the title of the 5th level bard...niiice.

It took me a year and a half of steady play to make a fast bard (minimum levels) and over three years to do one at max level fighter/thief (8/9)
the really hard part is not using your fighter levels if you do you don't get experience for the stuff you did. Some DMs would follow the rules to the letter and you lose it for the entire adventure.
I was less strict but you didn't gain xp if you resorted to other class abilities for at least the combat or situation where the lapse occurred and afterwards if it affected the outcome of the adventure. Losing XP was a big deal when you needed hundreds of thousands for your next level.

A bard is an entirely separate class to its prerequisite classes... and thus it remains the first prestige class.

Here's what we know from "Jobs," the first and, with luck, the lamer of the two biopics (Aaron Sorkin is working on his own screenplay) about the late Apple computer guru Steve Jobs, played here by Ashton Kutcher. Genius, according to Kutcher's bland performance, is a matter of pursing your lips, pausing, speaking deliberately and arrogantly and reading every line as if you already know the retort, because you are Steve Jobs and therefore an omniscient god. Kutcher has the circular eyewear and the dreamy gait down pat. Each time he serves up a conspicuous, dismissive hand gesture, you think: Yes, I seem to remember seeing the real Jobs doing something like that on camera.
But Kutcher is everything except interesting. And the script by Matt Whiteley, done no favors by Joshua Michael Stern's plodding direction, offers sketchy insight into the man whose accomplishments are treated by "Jobs" as somewhere north of the invention of the wheel and somewhere south, barely, of the birth of human consciousness. (Composer John Debney accompanies every new business development with the mushy strings associated with a mid-'60s Bible epic.)
On the other hand, the Jobs we meet here was a greedy, conniving man of capitalism, throwing his early colleagues under the bus without any stock options. He took a few too many years to even acknowledge the existence of his daughter. He lived for work, and not for life, or other people. He was, in other words, like the Frank Loesser lyric from "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," the one about resigning others to "bask in the glow of his perfectly understandable neglect."
That's about 10 minutes' worth out of the 127 in "Jobs," most of which is honorific pap prone to cliche. We're shown the origin story, the start in the Jobs family garage (John Getz and Lesley Ann Warren play mom and dad; Josh Gad, very good, is the key early collaborator Steve Wozniak), the early, clunky Apple computers in the '70s, paving the way for sleek multizillion-dollar design perfection courtesy of the Macs, the iPads, the iPhones, the iThis and the iThat.

The dialogue comes straight out of "The Benny Goodman Story." That look, someone says to a staring, pausing Kutcher, "tells me you're on to something big." Nobody talks in this movie; everyone speechifies or take turns sloganing one another to death. "We gotta risk everything!" "We gotta make Apple cool again!" We know Jobs said a lot of these things. But what would he have made of this cautious movie? He probably would've liked looking like the smartest, most driven, most divinely inspired visionary on the planet. But he probably would've preferred being vital — a techno-maniacal personality imagined with a dash of skepticism, a la "The Social Network."

Dear Ebates Member,
You may have noticed that your cash back payment from Ebates has not yet arrived - but please rest assured that your payment is in process.
Given the challenging retail climate, a large number of our retail partners have been slow to pay our commissions for purchases you made in November and December, and these commissions are what allow us to pay your cash back rebates. To ensure the largest possible payout, we have delayed processing your payment until the last possible moment. We will complete processing and send a payment this week that reflects all purchases for which we have received payment from the retailer.
Any payments not received by Ebates as of today and paid this week will be sent to you in a special payment as soon as we receive them. You will still see these orders as cash pending in your Ebates' account.
Our goal remains to pay members cash back as quickly as possible and we apologize for this inconvenience.

---- — Two Gloucester men have been charged and police say charges are pending against a woman following an investigation into drug activity at a Springfield Street home.
Charged are:
Dion M. Tocco, 47, of Madison Court. He faces charges of distributing class D drugs, being marijuana.
John "JP" Thibeault, 20, of 7 Springfield St., the son of Tocco's girlfriend. He has been charged with possessing clonazepam, also known under the brand name Klonopin, which is used to treat seizures and panic disorders.
Tocco and Thibeault were arrested during a drug investigation in March, with police reportedly seizing narcotics from both men.
Police said Thibeault has a "lengthy criminal history," including drug distribution charges, and was recently released from jail where he was serving time for narcotics charges.
In the latest investigation, police say they found five clonazepam pills, an electronic scale, and a small quantity of marijuana in Thibeault's bedroom during a search of the home at 7 Springfield St..
Tocco's charges stem from a drug deal police say they witnessed. Police observing Tocco reported that he passed a bag of marijuana to another man in a car, and that man, when stopped by police, admitted to having taken the marijuana in exchange for money that Tocco owed him. In an interview, Tocco admitted that the exchange happened, according to police.
While investigating, police also say they observed Tocco driving a vehicle from the Springfield Street house to another home. At the home, police say the woman against whom charges are pending exited the vehicle, entered the house, then immediately returned to the vehicle.
"Through our training and experience we know this to be consistent with drug distribution," Detective Thomas Quinn wrote in the report.
Officers' observations led police to search the home at 7 Springfield St. Along with the illegal items found in Thibeault's room, police say they found 43 white pills in a bag that belong to the woman who they say was in car with Tocco. The woman told the investigating officers that the pills were tramadol, prescribed for back pain, however police sent the pills to be tested and say they will charge the woman if tests indicate that the pills are a controlled narcotic.
Tocco and Thibeault have been arrested during drug distribution investigations in the past, with police seizing narcotics from both men in previous incidents, according to the police report.
Police said Thibeault has a "lengthy criminal history," including drug distribution charges. Thibeault was recently released from jail where he was serving time for narcotics charges.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Nov. 25, 2013
City releases audit on overtime
Overtime for City of Kansas City, Mo., employees has increased significantly over the last three years according to a report released today by the City Auditor's Office. The audit focuses on the analysis of overtime trends, drivers of overtime and the effectiveness of City practices used to manage overtime. It does not include overtime in the Police Department.
The audit found that overtime increased from about 385,000 to 574,000 hours from fiscal year 2010 to 2013. About 86 percent of the total overtime hours worked from fiscal year 2010 through 2013 were attributed to the Fire, Water Services, Aviation and Public Works departments.
The audit determined several drivers of overtime. Overtime provisions in the Code of Ordinances and collective bargaining agreements with the City's unions exceed what federal law requires. In addition, the Fire Department pays overtime in some situations not required by City code or the collective bargaining agreements. Minimum staffing requirements and emergency situations like snow removal and water main breaks also drive overtime hours. The audit also concluded that some of the City's overtime rules and practices are not applied consistently.
The audit includes recommendations to improve the sustainability of the City's finances; implement consistent overtime practices and tools to better manage overtime; and develop policies and procedures and provide training to ensure overtime rules are applied accurately and consistently. Management agreed with the recommendations.
To view the report, go to http://www.kcmo.org/auditor.

joeluckhurst says: I remember beating this game as a kid. It was good fun. I don't know how I did it. Tried again recently and it kicked me in the balls so hard that they still have not re-descended. But play it anyways, soooooooo good.
joeluckhurst says: "Seriously? What the f*&K? Oh that's BS! Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!" You too can yell such fine obscenities if you play this game as it was meant to be played... Balls hard.
joeluckhurst says: Easy if you have patience. I don't. If you're the same way you will fail -- often.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

The dose makes the poison
The dose makes the poison is common adage first expressed by Paracelsus intended to indicate a basic principle of toxicology. It means that a substance can produce the harmful effect associated with its toxic properties only if it reaches a susceptible biological system within the body in a high enough concentration (dose).[1]
The principle relies on the finding that all chemicals—even water and oxygen—can be toxic if too much is eaten, drunk, or absorbed. "The toxicity of any particular chemical depends on many factors, including the extent to which it enters an individual's body."[2] This finding provides also the basis for public health standards, which specify maximum acceptable concentrations of various contaminants in food, public drinking water, and the environment.[2]
However, there is no linear relationship and also more to chemical toxicity than the acute effects caused by short-term exposure. Relatively low doses of contaminants in water, food, and environment can already have significant chronic effects if there is a long-term exposure.[2] Many pollutants, drugs and natural substances adhere to this principle by causing different effects at different levels, which can as a result lead to health standards that are either too strong or too weak.[3]
Generally the effects of different doses can be very different at different levels (not only bigger and smaller impacts depending on dose). Very low doses of some compounds can even induce stronger toxic responses than much higher doses as well as just different impacts.[2]
Toxic substances and the law[edit]
"Regulators must extrapolate results not only from animal toxicity studies, typically from mice and/or rats to humans, but also from the very high doses usually used in animal experiments to the very low doses that are characteristic of human exposure. These two types of extrapolation are steeped in uncertainty," wrote Edward J. Calabrese, Professor of Toxicology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst' School of Public Health in Amherst, MA, USA.[4]

Hay Is For Horses!
Make sure your horse has the very best of care and you
will have a healthy and happy companion!
A Basic Guide to Horse Care walks you through everything you need to know to care for your horse. We'll show you the supplies you'll need, we'll walk you through routine medical care,vaccinations, and everything you need to ensure you have a healthy and happy horse!
Dear Friend,
Wellness exams, vaccinations, dental care, deworming, hoof care...the list goes on and on. Caring for a horse constitutes a lot more than turning it out in a pasture or boarding it at the local stable. Horses have unique needs that must be met in order for them to thrive and stay healthy.
If you've never owned a horse before, this book is for you. If you've owned horses before, this book is for you. That's because we've left nothing out of this amazing guide! Not only will you learn all the things your horse needs as far as routine medical care is concerned, but you'll also learn how to tell when your horse is healthy and how to tell when your horse is sick. Plus, we've filled this guide to horse care with numerous preventive strategies you can use now to prevent your horse from ever contracting certain conditions!
Don't let the word Basic in the title fool you! We've also covered numerous supplies you'll need for your horse such as blankets and boots, wraps, food, fly and pest control, and much more. Read on to discover more of what we have in store for you...
Health Care For Your Horse
Discover how to keep your horse safe from heat stroke and heat exhaustion during warm weather. (page 14)
Colic is the largest cause of premature death in horses. Discover how to prevent your horse from getting colic! (page 26)
Unfortunately, there are a lot of hoof problems that horses can develop. Learn about some of the most common hoof problems that horse owners see in their horses and how to treat them! (page 28)
Every horse needs regular vaccinations. Different vaccinations are required by law in different areas so you'll need to find out from your vet or other horse owners what vaccinations are required in your state. See our special section of some of the most common vaccinations that are required for horses. (page 37)
Should you keep your horse in a pasture or in a stable? Should you feed your horse grain? We've answered these questions and more in A Basic Guide to Horse Care.
If you keep your horse in a stable, what kind of bedding will you use? Shavings? Wood Pellets? Peat Moss? Straw? Newspaper? What is the best bedding for your horse? We'll guide you through the answer that best fits your overall situation in this must have manual!
Hay will make up most of your horse's diet so the type of hay that you choose to feed your horse is important. Different types of hay have different nutritional value. For most owners, the availability of quality hay and the cost of the local hay is more of a consideration than the type of hay that they feed their horse but when you're choosing a hay to feed your horse you should take the nutritional content of the hay into consideration as well as the cost and availability. A Basic Guide to Horse Care offers an overview of the different types of hay to help you in the selection process.

coercion ⇝
implicit type conversion
<programming> (Or "coercion") The abilty of some compilers to automatically insert type conversion functions where an expression of one type is used in a context where another type is expected.
A common example is coercion of integers to reals so that an expression like sin(1) is compiled as sin(integerToReal(1)) where sin is of type Real -> Real.
A coercion is usually performed automatically by the compiler whereas a cast is an explicit type conversion inserted by the programmer.

'No guarantee' on when Edmondson will be fit for trial
Ian Edmondson, former news editor at the now-defunct News of the World, will not be fit to face phone hacking charges in court for at least "several weeks" a judge said today.
Read: Former NotW news editor Ian Edmondson removal at 'consensus of doctors'
– Mr Justice Saunders
I have received and read a number of medical reports about the fitness of Mr Edmondson to continue to participate in the current trial.
It is not anticipated that it will be long before he is fit to continue but it will be several weeks and there can be no guarantee that at the end of that period of time he will be fit.
Bearing in mind the current estimate of the length of this trial, I do not think it is appropriate to adjourn to wait for his recovery and accordingly I shall discharge you from giving a verdict in his case.
He will be tried by a different jury at a later date.
Mr Edmondson was charged with conspiring to hack phones along with former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks, former NotW editor Andy Coulson and the tabloid's former managing editor Stuart Kuttner.

The All You mag subscription is 30 for $25…you have $20 in the above link.
- 2 August 3, 2010 at 7:11 PM
Julie, thanks for letting me know. The deals changed today! I'm not sure I would have realized. At least the end price is still the same per issue. You just have to buy more.

How long does it usually take to get your magazines when ordering through your fundraiser? I ordered mine earlier in the month and was figuring I would get the March Issue.
- 4 February 27, 2011 at 4:43 PM
Ella, I believe it states 4-8 weeks. They have to submit it to All You, so sometimes it can take a while. Plus, March's issue comes mid-February. You may see April though.

Which organization are you supporting?
- 6 March 29, 2011 at 9:48 PM
Clara, I donate all of the funds to local organizations in the Indianapolis area. It changes each month, as funds are received. Previous funds have gone to sponsor children's fee for Vacation Bible Camp, Susan G. Koman for the Cure, help fund missions to countries in need, sponsored children's fee for a sports team, purchased blankets for a woman's shelter, and other local charities. It's all done anonymously. I don't typically announce where funds are going for the month, because sometimes I don't know where they would be best used until later, but I love doing it, because it's a wonderful way to give back in little ways throughout the community.

Another couponing mom (well, I'm 55 so maybe almost grandmom!) wishing you the best.
I had planned to get the magazine so I just did it through you.
When my kids were very small, the Frugal Gazette was very popular for money saving moms.

Thanks Michelle! Enjoy it. I do.
- 9 July 11, 2011 at 4:29 PM
The magazine only comes out 1 time a month and its 2 years for $25 isn't that only 24 issues or you get more then two years?
- 10 July 11, 2011 at 4:48 PM
Faith, it's 30 issues for $25. They have bonus issues through out the year. I'll edit that so it makes more sense. Thanks!

150 new jobs for Hereford
Updated 12:08pm Thursday 9th January 2014 in News
THE NEW Waitrose supermarket set to open on the Old Market site in Hereford will provide the city with up to 150 jobs when it opens in April.
The high street giant will continue accepting applications until the closing date tomorrow (January 10) and is encouraging as many people as possible to apply.
Waitrose, which will be on the north-west corner of the site, was one of the multi-million pound development's 'cornerstone' companies that helped secure the project, along with Debenhams and Odeon.

What shops are going to close as a result of them, the big ones, I doubt it, the small independent shops also doubt it. Waitrose isn't my first choice of shops I must admit as they aren't cheap. The majority of folk use a big supermarket for the main shop and the smaller ones in case they run out of stuff, so Waitrose wont have any effect on them. If you want to go down that route how many people have been employed or kept a job s a result of it coming here, building trade, quarry workers, lorry drivers, shop fitters, suppliers, growers, plus some people will come into town to shop there.
I except some don't like the new development but at the end of the day any jobs that open up should be welcomed.

Hereford doesn't need more supermarkets for it's people to work in. The minimum wage is such a low price to sell your life for.
There is already adequate supermarketage for the denizens of Hereford to get their weekly fill of pies and bread.
I haven't set foot in a supermarket since 1993 except one time in Fishguard 8 years ago where I went into a Tesco Express to stand under the door fan to dry off during a particularly rainy spell while I was fishing for sprats off of the harbour wall.

I'll wager you were not on message.
You must not criticize such a faaaaabulous organ as the HT. HEREfordshires's finest pamphlet is beyond reproach and it ill behoves us to question it's journalistical standards what with our ill-judged raving and oafish ill-informed comments on these here pages.

Not go to a supermarket, then you must be very wealthy or live off fish, Do you think the local shop is paying more wages than Waitrose, I doubt it and sell your life? I'm glad people would work for that, not because I feel its a good wage but because they would rather work than claim benefits, well done to them.
I understand that you want Hereford to remain in the past, don't know why though.
We do need more supermarkets to cater for the extra people coming in from Leominster.

It is in fact cheaper to use outlets and traders other than supermarkets.
Supermarkets cash in on the fact that you can do all of your shopping in one place. If you shop around for all the components of your shopping you can get a better deal from specialist suppliers, particularly if you are prepared to buy in bulk.
Yes. When you work for someone, they pay you wages. This used to be called compensation. You are trading your time for money. This is selling your life isn't it?
I did not mention benefits.
If living in the past means not being seduced by the marketeers at Waitrose, wearing the products of third world oppression and misery and eating mass-produced food shipped in from other countries, then yes you're **** right I'm living in the past.

I do not subscribe to any paper mainly because of the rubbish that's contained within, not unlike your comments on these pages.
You are clearly living on a different planet to the rest of us, enjoy it.
By the way, women have been given the vote, just to bring you up to scratch.

SA Emergency and Critical Care Residency PositionJob Description
The Small Animal Teaching Hospital (SATH) of the Department of Clinical Sciences at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine offers a three-year residency training program in Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care that fulfills the requirements of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (ACVECC). The Department currently has an opening for a new resident to start no later than January 15, 2014. The SATH is an approved ACVECC Residency Training Program Center and has 32 board certified faculty supporting 13 clinical specialty services. The SATH is a well-equipped referral hospital and maintains state of the art cardiovascular and anesthetic monitoring equipment, mechanical ventilators, continuous renal replacement therapy, thromboelastography, on-site CT, MRI and linear accelerator, and cage-side blood gas, coagulation, and biochemical analysis as well as a complete clinical pathology laboratory.
The resident will be assigned primarily to the Critical Care Service. The service is currently staffed by 2 ACVECC Diplomate, 2 ACVECC residents, 5 rotating small animal interns, 1 Critical Care specialty intern, 1 Critical Care Nursing Supervisor (VTS-ECC), and 17 dedicated intensive and intermediate care unit technicians. The Auburn University Emergency and Critical Care Service is a 24 hour same-day referral center designed to serve the needs of veterinarians in the Southeast. The Intensive Care Unit is fully staffed 24/7 by a staff of full-time veterinary technicians and a Critical Care Nursing Supervisor. A STAT lab is available for hematology, chemistries, blood gases, electrolytes, blood lactate, coagulation profiles, and cytology. The service is supported by a full-service radiology section with capabilities that include radiology, ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, CT and MRI. Monitoring capabilities include telemetry, pulse oximetry, end tidal CO2, direct and indirect blood pressure, colloid osmotic pressure, urine output, and central venous pressure monitoring. Recent acquisitions include an updated continuous renal replacement therapy hemodialysis unit.
The ACVECC resident will receive instruction in clinical areas of interest and will work under the close supervision of one ACVECC Diplomate faculty member. Residents must be enrolled in a Master's Degree program and will participate in an active research program under the supervision of a member of the Department of Clinical Sciences; this research may culminate in a Master of Science degree. Up to five credit hours of academic course work per semester is expected. Residents are assigned to other specialty areas as needed to reinforce their medical foundation. Residents also participate in a seminar series, morbidity & mortality rounds, and critical care journal club weekly. A resident will be expected to assist in teaching senior veterinary students through lectures, seminars, and during clinic rotations.
Residencies at AU-CVM require applicants to be a graduate of a college of veterinary medicine and to have completed an internship (or equivalent experience). Residents must be able to meet entrance requirements for the AU Graduate School and must be enrolled in the graduate program throughout their residency program. Residents are considered GTAs (Graduate Teaching Assistants) and receive a tuition waiver for graduate courses and partially subsidized health insurance. However, it should be noted that graduate school fees and insurance costs amounting to approximately $3,000 per year are the responsibility of the resident and are subject to change. Residents are expected to take graduate courses each semester and to participate in research activities under the guidance of a faculty member. The combination of graduate courses and research activities should culminate in the successful resident achieving a Master of Science degree.
All residencies will be no more than three years in length and are not tenure track positions. Membership in the AVMA is required to begin the residency in order to obtain professional liability insurance paid by the department. Faculty state licensure by examination is required and paid for by the Department of Clinical Sciences. Any required work permits or visas are the responsibility of the applicant.
For general information contact Renee Huston (firstname.lastname@example.com ), Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, 235 Overton Educational Wing, Auburn, AL 36849-5540 (phone 334-844-6003). More information about Auburn University, College of Veterinary Medicine and the community can be found at the University web sites: www.auburn.edu or www.vetmed.auburn.edu . Incomplete applications will not be considered. Applications will be considered immediately until a quality candidate is found.
Auburn University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Minorities and women are encouraged to apply. The candidate(s) selected for this position must be able to meet eligibility requirements to work in the United States at the time the appointments are scheduled to begin and must be able to communicate effectively in English.

I recently attended TechEd 2012 on the Gold Coast, and was pretty spoilt for choice as to what technologies I wanted to learn more about. I have an infrastructure background, and recently completed the MCITP Virtualisation Administrator certification for Windows Server 2008 R2, so Hyper-V was still fresh in my mind and one of those technologies I really enjoy using.
I didn't expect much from the Hyper-V sessions at TechEd. I thought, hey, Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012 really can't have that much extra, surely… Was I wrong or what!?!?
My first session on Hyper-V, I was flabbergasted by the sheer number of new features and improvements introduced in 2012. As someone who's always played with VMWare and recently shifted allegiance to the Microsoft side, it comes as no surprise that I continue to be impressed by Microsoft's hard work in the virtualisation space. Hyper-V continues to innovate and add to it's enterprise ready feature set, and it truly offers an alternative to other virtualisation platforms.
What's New in Hyper-V 2012
- Scale has been improved – extreme limits on hardware – 4TB RAM, 320 CPUs, 64 vCPUs per VM, 1TB ram per VM, unlimited live migration
- Physical NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) and Guest NUMA
- Idea is to allocate VMs directly to RAM DIMMS to optimize performance
- High performance storage improvements
- Live storage migration
- Virtual fibre channel
- VHDX virtual disk format
- File based storage on SMB3.0
- Live merge of snapshots
- Live new parent
- 4K disk support
- Offloaded data transfer – ODX
- Unmap support
- Support for up to 64TB size
- Virtual disks are faster than pass through disks!
- Internal logging
- Large sector support
- Enhanced performance
- Custom meta data can be stored in the VHDX
- 10% increase in IOPS
ODX (Offloaded Data Transfer)
- File transfers inside a VM will be offloaded to the SAN itself, not transferred inside the VM by the Guest OS!!
- Offloads the read and write, using a token system
- Offloaded functions:
- Fixed VHD creation
- Dynamic VHD expansion
- VHD merge
- Live storage migration
- Demo showed VHD creation with/without ODX – instant versus 10 minutes for ~50GB VHD.
Unmap – Trim
- Regain unused space
- Reuse of unused blocks – i.e. reuse space where files are deleted
- Efficiencies at virtual and physical layers
- Works with VHDX and pass through disks only
- PowerShell: Optimize-volume retrim
- Hyper-V reclaims storage when VM is shutdown also!
Clustering and High Availability
- BitLocker encryption for CSVs
- Fibre channel SAN support for HA
- Built-in NIC teaming
- Highly available file server storage
- New cluster limits – 64 nodes, 8000 VMs, per cluster
- Cluster aware updating – i.e. Windows updates
- CSV version 2
- VM failover prioritisation
- Anti-affinity VM rules
- Cluster wide task scheduling
- Inbox Live migration queuing
- SMB support
- Hyper-V application monitoring
- Guest clustering via fibre channel
- Support for four HBAs per VM
- NPIV utilized
- VM mobility
- Live migration with HA
- Hardware independent
Networking Overview
- Optimized for multi tenant hosted clouds
- Complete isolation
- Multi-tenant shared IP ranges
- Can use PVLANs – 4095 VLAN limitation
- Hyper-V network virtualization
- Multiple virtual networks on a physical network
- Reliability + predictability + scalability + extensibility
Extensible virtual switch
- Capture extension – first and last in the stack to see all traffic in/out of the vSwitch – eg. Inmon SFlowTrend
- Windows filter platform extension – firewall / antivirus etc – insert / read
- Filtering extensions – capture modify inject
- Forwarding extension – only one at a time – Cisco nexus 1000v virtual switch
- All PowerShell scriptable
- Open flow support
- Network introspection
- ACLs
- NIC teaming
- Per vNIC bandwidth reservation and limits
- Network metering
Network Offload
- SR-IOV can't be used with extensible switch
- DVMQ vs SR-IOV
- Improves VM performance
- Spread network load over processors
- Not good for 10gbps or higher
Advanced networking features
- DHCP guard
- Router guard
- Monitor port
- Port ACL and QoS
- Managed via PowerShell only – there is no GUI for this functionality
- Block/allow traffic in/out of a VM
- Throttle bandwidth per VM
- Dedicated bandwidth
Disaster Recovery
- Hyper-V Replica
- RPO/RTO in minutes
- Automatically supports all mobility functions
Linux/UNIX Compatibility
- Hyper-V drivers now supported in the Linux kernel
- Can use HA and live migration, as well as replication
- RedHat, CentOS, SuSe, FreeBSD
Hyper-V Server 2012
- Still free
- Includes all hyper v features!
- Great for VDI
- Completely unlimited

A student called in a phony weapons threat to Lindley Middle School in Mableton Friday morning, according to Cobb County Schools.Spokesperson Doug Goodwin said, "Reports of an intruder on the campus of Lindley Middle School in Mableton are false. Lindley was placed under lockdown shortly after 10 a.m. while CCSD and Cobb police investigated. Police and Lindley administration indicated the report was falsely made by a student. Lindley is now operating on its regular schedule."The middle school, located at 50 Veterans Memorial Highway, went on lockdown about 10 a.m. Students were reported to be safe. Cobb County Officer Mike Bowman said, "Police were dispatched to the location of Lindley Middle in reference to a suspicious person who was armed. Cobb County police activated all available officers."Cobb County police worked with school resource officers to check the school room-by-room for a possible person armed with a weapon. About 11:30 a.m., Cobb police told parents gathered outside of the school that they had searched the premises and that no weapon or armed person had been found. They said no one was injured.Anxious parents lined up to take their students home, other students remained until the normal end of the school day.Police said that they had detained a student for questioning.

Rosanne and I want to thank everyone who played a part in another successful Barnyard Bash. It never ceases to amaze me how, whenever someone needs a hand with their Cub, so many folks dive in to help. A lot of projects, big and small got done and hopefully no one left with an unfinished goal. We had a good rain shower Friday afternoon, but it never slowed us down. It seems we have always lucked out with the weather.
I do need to throw out a couple special thanks. Bob McCarty came in Tuesday afternoon and went right to work helping get things together. Mike O'Rourke and Thackery showed up Wednesday and jumped right in to help get some of the mowing and shop prep done. David Grapes was once again instrumental in getting Kroger's to donate the bread, buns, many types of chips, donut holes and other snacks to keep us going for the weekend. The Thursday arrivals helped add the finishing touches. All the ladies once again pitched in to make sure the lunches and dinner was prepared and set out. We can never forget the importance of the women who work behind the scenes.
Of course there were countless folks who helped put out the trash cans, ice down the many coolers of water and soft drinks set out around the barnyard, put up the canopy, and set up the tables/chairs as well as so many other small tasks that needed to be done. Then, when the Bash was finally coming to an end, somebody suggested the stragglers help put everything away. I usually do that myself on Sunday, but this year about a dozen folks started loading tables and chairs on the truck and had them in BOB before you knew it. The big canopy also came down and made ready for storage. I wasn't expecting all that and it was much appreciated. All of this helped bring us all together for another fun filled weekend.
It is always the guests who make a CubFest great and everyone at the Bash deserves thanks for making this Fest a memorable one. Rosie and I thank you all for your contribution to the fun.

"My husband and I have hosted five bar crawls and this was our final. We used phrases from all of our other bar crawls to make a word cloud like mustaches, fish bowl, more fun than you, end of an era, last call, 8 bars, etc. You can see us sporting our mustaches in this picture! It was great working with CustomInk! #McGinnisBarCrawl2013 "

Delay over Bristol Rovers stadium decision
Bristol Rovers must wait until next month before learning if Sainsbury's bid to build on their Memorial Ground home has been approved. Bristol City Council has already given the go-ahead and the Department for Communities and Local Government was expected to rule today.
But Secretary of State Eric Pickles MP has asked for more time before making a judgement. Rovers are ready to start work this summer on a new stadium in Stoke Gifford, South Gloucestershire, on land owned by the University of the West of England.
Sainsbury's were controversially given city council permission to build a supermarket on Rovers' present Horfield site despite a campaign by local independent shopkeepers who said their trade and the wider community would be harmed.
