New California Health Code Requires Gloves, Bans Raw-Dog Handling of Food

Earlier this week I was ordering at a Taco Bell drive-thru when I noticed the cashier sneezed and didn't wash his hands before handing over my food. I took it anyway, but definitely not without wondering for a second whether or not I'd die because of it.

In hundreds of communities across Canada, people and organizations are devoting their skills at bringing together touring artists and audiences. These presenters may work within non-profit organizations, municipalities, universities, schools or festivals, but they all share a common passion: supporting artists, developing audiences and building community.
Presenters are an essential part of the creative chain. Presenters create access to live performing arts for all Canadians.
The department of Canadian Heritage provides a detailed definition of the presenter:
Arts presenters select the artistic programming for public presentation in their community based on an artistic vision. They purchase performances and other artistic activities created by professional artists, groups and companies; and they are responsible for paying a guaranteed fee to the producer for each presentation. They provide the venue and supply the technical and promotional support. Presenters may also organize audience development and/or outreach in support of their artistic programming. They have a thorough knowledge of the audiences in their communities, of the professional arts community and of the various networks that support both the artists and the presenters.
The CHRC's Presenters Competency Chart and Profile also provides a detailed overview of the large array of skills inherent to presenting.

BYOPS Advice
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:18 AM
I'm one of what I imagine to be many newbies around here after the very successful kickstarter, and while I'm not a newbie to painting minis, it has been a very long time since I've been active (about 15 years in fact!). But thanks to kickstarter, I have a ton of awesome looking reaper minis coming next year and also a ton of sci-fi football goodness from the Dreadball kickstarter...what I don't have is any paints!
So I was going to order myself one of the great looking Build Your Own Paint Sets from the reaper site, but I'm totally overwhelmed by the options and really have no idea where to start. I've had a poke around the site and the forum but couldn't find any suggestions on what would make a good 'starter set' of 54 paints. 54 is a lot of paints anyway so even if I just picked at random I'm sure I'd do ok, but I'd love some expert opinions if you guys have any :-)
Starting completely from scratch here, so advise accordingly!

The True White and True Black on the other hand are pretty essential.
If you are likely to play Doomball then go for the colors that will work for your team.
I agree on the triads as well - a good selection of triads will make things a lot easier. (I used the Dark Elf triad for Ebonwraith, in metal, as one example.)
I might go for Vivid Blues over Pure Blues, but they are close. The others are bang on for what I would go for. I might substitute Bone Colors for Off Whites - but they serve much the same purpose.
Are you going to paint orcs and goblins? I use olive drabs, but others (most?) prefer brighter colors. Buglips, I think, uses the D&D orangish goblin skin tones. Tolkien's orcs would be closer to Dusky Skin, I think.
I love the metallic triads, with Metallic Triad 3 being my favorite - I use Scorched Metal a lot.
A selection of HD paints for the rest, I think. A good base coat helps with everything after.

While you'll find many miniature enthusiasts who swear by the 1/2 oz. hobby paints dedicated to miniatures, some of us use the more affordable 2 oz. craft paints from the Arts & Craft stores. Sure, the craft paints don't mix together quite as well and they often do have less pigment to binder ratios, but those 40% coupons really make up for the slightly lower quality, at least for me.

However, I can tell you that I have not had that problem - I use Duplicolor Sandable primer, and painted the Ghost (one of the most flexible of the Bones, in my experience) with nary a flake - even when holding it and flexing the figure while saying 'wub, wub, wub'.* I have also used the Army Painter colored primers without mischance. The gnoll as also part of the demonstration, the flail is very flexible. That one was primed with Army Painter Leather Brown primer.
Bones minis can be so flexible that spray paint primers can crack and break off.

The paints themselves were Reaper for the most part.
So it really depends on the primer, and having a light touch on the nozzle. Primer that is too heavily applied might be more likely to flake and peel.

Primer is entirely optional on Bones, if anything I've had and heard of more problems with it than without it.

I would be willing to bet that is the exact situation. Given that I currently like a solid black priming on my figs, I'm looking into getting an airbrush to prime my bones.with acrylic paint.

Even if you use spray primers, it is good to have brush on primers. Being able to brush on a tiny bit of primer is great for when you rub paint off a spot, or have to do repairs after ham-fisted players.

If you don't want to do a lot of mixing, then identify what your essentials are for the first minis you want to paint and buy triads for that job. You'll have less breadth of color this way, but your shades and highlights are already mixed and ready to go from the bottle.
That's a new thing that cropped after the 90's, the triad organization. I like it, though I don't use it much. Most of my paint comes from old school sources so I have to mix a lot anyway. But if I was building straight from scratch . . . I'd be giving the triads a look.
This is one of those questions where you could get a hundred different answers and all of them are right.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:54 AM
Some colours and triads that I find very useful to paint with, but wouldn't necessarily have thought to pick up if I were buying paints piecemeal:
The Bone triad - slightly browned grays. Very nice for rocks, old wood, or adding to more saturated colours to tone them down. You could skip the Polished Bone and just use white for highlighting. I use these far more than I use the true neutral grays.
Brown liner - great as a liner, or to darken other colours without the harshness of brown
Linen white - to highlight colours without the starkness of white
Rust brown
Oiled Leather
The Ivory triad - if you want the more yellow style bone look, and as a nice neutral colour in general. Good for a more natural blond hair, too. Again you can probably skip the highlight (Creamy Ivory) and use white or linen instead.
Shield Brown - doesn't look like much in the bottle, but is a great all-purpose neutral brown. Good for wood, dirt, etc., especially when you've already got enough colours in your piece.
The Dark Elf triad and Dusky Skin triad are both good for dark elf skin, but also aces to highlight black or shade white. Dark Elf is a little more purply. You don't need both if you're going for a limited set of colours, but one of them is handy.
The Midnight Blue - Twilight Blue - Snowshadow triad is also great for highlighting black (when you want that blue-black hair or shiny leather look) or shading white. They're great for doing white metal NMM. You can mix them with grays for less of a blue steel look on NMM. Also very nice on their own.
I like Redstone for shading many caucasian skin tones, and Bright Skin Highlight for highlighting them.
The earth triad is a nice solid set of browns.
Saffron Sunset is great to highlight Rust to create a red hair, and a nice glaze over blond hair or gold NMM to warm them up. That's a bit more of a limited use than many of the others I've mentioned, so probably not a top of the list colour.
Next to browns, greens are probably the colour it's handiest to have more of if you don't want to have to mix paint as much.

This will require some patience unless Dominus can find the LTP kits from someone other than Reaper. They're out of most of them at the moment. They are a very good deal, though, and they've been packing them with all dropper bottles lately instead of the paint pots on a strip.
Yeah I would hit up the Learn To Paint sets and make sure you have 1 of each colour there and then head on over to the triads for ideas to fill out the rest of the colours. Then if you have anything left to pick just look for highlights and shadows for the colours that you have to extend your range.
Definitely check into it if you are at all interested in getting kits with minis, brushes, paints and instructions. If you check with Reaper by phone or email, they can tell you roughly when they expect to have these back in stock.

Bloodstain/Clotted/Carnage reds
Chestnut/Palomino/Buckskin triad and Sun yellow.
I normally use a spray primer myself, but a bottle of brush on is good for quick touch-ups at the table, or to have along when traveling.

Cool. I guess.
From ESPN.Com
"Kansas City Royals: Right-hander Ben Hendrickson was traded from the Brewers to the Royals on Tuesday for minor league catcher Maxim St. Pierre.
Hendrickson went 1-10 with a 7.41 ERA in 12 starts and two relief appearances in the majors in 2004 and 2006.
St. Pierre played 10 seasons in the minor leagues for Detroit before joining the Royals as a minor league free agent in January. He was assigned to Triple-A Nashville.

The North Carolina Court of Appeals is being asked to decide whether the deal that made Charlotte-based Duke Energy Corp. the country's largest electric company should be revised to do more for consumers.
The court will hear arguments Wednesday in a lawsuit challenging the state Utilities Commission's decision last year to approve the agreement combining Duke Energy with Raleigh-based Progress Energy. The advocacy group NC WARN contends the commission didn't fully protect consumers from risks connected to the merger.
A decision from the court could take several months, and it could be appealed to the state Supreme Court. The high court ruled earlier this year that the state Utilities Commission did not adequately consider the negative impact on consumers by allowing Duke Energy to raise rates by 7 percent.

Lawyer Assails 'Unprecedented' Ethics Charge
Posted May 4, 2007 12:30 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
To Bruce Rogow, the ethics case against his client is all about judicial independence.
Rogow is attorney for Judge Michael Allen of Florida's 1st District Court of Appeal, who is facing ethics charges for an opinion questioning another judge's ethics, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
Rogow told the newspaper that such charges are "unprecedented, not just here, but anywhere in the country."
Florida's Judicial Qualifications Commission filed ethics charges against Allen yesterday, alleging his opinion impairs the public's confidence in the integrity of the bench. The charges stem from a concurring opinion he wrote blasting Judge Charles Kahn, claiming he improperly participated in an appeal of a politician's bribery conviction.

Thursday is the 60th Annual Observance of The National Day of Prayer.
At the Peoria County courthouse plaza and at the Law and Justice Center in downtown Bloomington and other local spots people came together to pray.
Congress designed The National Day of Prayer, and President Harry Truman signed it into law in 1952.
It is a day inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation and our communities.
"It's one of those things that can be taken for granted very easily," said Dan Wachtveitl, of Peoria, "that you aren't necessarily aware of it until you need it, which, you know, feel guilty about of course, but it's a reality."
The National Day of Prayer is observed on the first Thursday of May.
Thursday evening, dozens of people gathered in the Salem Lutheran Church in Peoria for the 8th annual "Pray For the Cure."
The evening of prayer and song was dedicated to survivors and all those impacted by breast cancer.

The Dutch financial-services provider is undergoing a transformation in accordance with the terms of a 10-billion-euro injection of state aid it received to boost liquidity following write-downs on real estate and other assets at the height of the financial crisis in 2008. European regulators demanded the separation of its insurance and investment-management businesses from its banking operations by the end of 2013.
ING, which has a market capitalization of more than €22 billion, is making progress with the disposals but is being hindered by instability in financial markets.

The company's Asian insurance operations appear set to be broken up and sold piecemeal. In its quarterly earnings report earlier this month, ING classified the Asian business as discontinued, which led some analysts to speculate that an announcement on a transaction is imminent. An initial public offering seems to be the most likely option for the U.S. operation. That also remains a possibility for the European portion, although doubts remain about investors' appetite for such a deal. A sale can't be ruled out.
Analysts reckon the insurance operations could fetch more than €14 billion.
ING would use the money to strengthen its balance sheet and pay off the remainder of the bailout money it received. It has repaid at least €7 billion, but the outstanding balance is disputed by the European Commission, which is keen to ensure that ING doesn't gain an unfair advantage from its rescue. Repayment is ING's top priority; it hasn't paid a dividend to shareholders for a couple of years. Dividends aren't likely to resume before next year at the earliest.
The financial giant is in an advanced stage of recovery, though it won't be in the clear until its restructuring is complete. However, its bank core Tier 1 ratio improved to a robust 11.1% at the end of June from 10.9% three months earlier, and the solvency ratio of its insurance business is a healthy 240%.
Those numbers are impressive, especially as ING continues to address its exposure to the troubled Spanish market. The company took a loss of €156 million in the three-month period ended June 30 to reduce its Spanish exposure by €4.8 billion to €36.4 billion. Its ING Direct franchise is based in Madrid and has invested in assets and originated loans in Spain, whose economy is crippled by its huge debt burden.

ING's shares have gained more than 6% this year, closing in Amsterdam Friday at €5.91, but they still trade about 25% below their 52-week high of €7.58. A consensus of analysts rates the stock at Overweight with a price target of €7.44. Brokerage Nomura reckons the shares could climb to €8.40 in the next 12 months. "We continue to see value in the stock given its solid balance sheet and comfortable funding and liquidity positions," notes Nomura's Tarik El Mejjad.
The discount to its peers seems unjustified. There are generous returns on offer for investors willing to bet that ING can complete its disposals on time.
THE STOXX EUROPE 600 INDEX closed Friday at 272.83 points, up 1.1% on the week to the highest close in over a year. It is up 4.4% since the start of August and 11.6% since the start of 2012. Markets last week were buoyed by better-than-expected German GDP data and comments by Chancellor Angela Merkel reinforcing Germany's commitment to the euro.

Plymouth residents share memories as estate is rebuilt
Residents old and new from Plymouth's North Prospect Estate have been sharing their memories of living there. The reunion comes as much of the estate is being rebuilt in a ten year regeneration programme.
Many of the streets now resemble a ghost town as more and more residents have been relocated ahead of demolition.

By Andrew R. Johnson
One of Residential Capital LLC's largest unsecured creditors is seeking court approval to sue the mortgage firm's parent, Ally Financial Inc., increasing pressure on the government-owned auto lender to cough up more money.
Wilmington Trust, a trustee for $1 billion of ResCap senior unsecured bonds, renewed arguments Friday that Ally stripped ResCap of valuable assets prior to the mortgage subsidiary's Chapter 11 filing last May, assets that Wilmington says are worth billions of dollars.
A key transaction at issue is the transfer of ResCap's ownership stake in Ally Bank, the depository subsidiary of Ally Financial that Wilmington and other creditors claim was ResCap's most valuable asset. Ally completed that transaction in 2009, a move Wilmington says exacerbated ResCap's financial problems as it faced rising litigation over soured residential mortgage-backed securities.
"These transactions were done to extract Ally Bank from [ResCap] as part of a self-preservation plan that Ally Financial adopted in response to the RMBS (residential mortgage-backed securities) crisis it created," Wilmington said in a motion asking the bankruptcy court to allow it file litigation.
The claims mirror those made by last week by the official committee representing unsecured creditors in ResCap's bankruptcy. Attorneys for the committee, of which Wilmington is a member, separately filed a similar motion for the court's permission to pursue claims against Ally on ResCap's behalf.
A spokeswoman for Ally declined to comment on Friday, but referred to a statement it made last week in response to the committee's motion, which said the company was "highly confident" in its legal position.
The move adds to pressure Ally faces to cut a deal with ResCap's creditors as it works to sever itself from mortgage woes that had bogged down its financial performance. The company is working to get on stronger footing so it can repay a government bailout it received during the financial crisis.
Once the in-house financing arm of General Motors Co. (GM), Ally is 74% owned by the U.S. government after taking $17.2 billion in funds through the Troubled Asset Relief Program. This week it said it will have repaid about $6 billion of that amount when including an upcoming dividend payment. It has also struck deals to sell international operations and separate mortgage-servicing assets to raise additional funds.
As part of ResCap's Chapter 11 filing, Ally proposed a settlement under which it would pay the subsidiary's estate $750 million in return for a release from liabilities it could face as the mortgage lender's parent.
But creditors balked at that amount, and are now pushing Ally for a larger amount. Ally Chief Executive Michael Carpenter has repeatedly said it would fight such claims.
In February, ResCap reached a deal with the creditor's committee under which it agreed to allow the committee pursue litigation against Ally. Earlier this month the committee filed its motion to do so with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Wilmington, a subsidiary of M&T Bank Corp. (MTB), said Friday it will pursue claims in a "coordinated fashion with any litigation that may be pursued" by the committee, but says it is in a better position to represent the specific interests of ResCap's unsecured noteholders.
"There has been only one official committee appointed to represent the interests of all creditors of the various estates," Wilmington said. "The committee and its counsel and advisors have performed admirably, but unless and until there has been substantive consolidation, counsel to the committee cannot represent the interests of all creditors simultaneously either in litigating or settling any claims of" ResCap.
An attorney for the committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.
In addition to claims against Ally, Wilmington said it also wants to bring claims against operating subsidiaries of ResCap. RespCap dismissed "billions of dollars" of intercompany debt that the operating subsidiaries owed ResCap.
"The capital contributions to the" operating companies "provided no benefit" to ResCap, Wilmington said.

Four people were flung into the ocean near the Marina del Rey breakwater when a powerboat capsized, and two suffered minor injuries, sheriff's deputies said today.
The accident occurred about 2 p.m. Saturday, and lifeguards and harbor patrol officers directed the four to climb onto the rock jetty to avoid being smashed by the overturned boat, according to deputies at the sheriff's Marina station.
All four appeared to be OK, though two suffered minor injuries in the mishap, deputies said.
What caused the boat to overturn was not disclosed.

So, on tWWL's website today, they threw up a mock BCS poll, suspecting this is what it would look like today. UCLA proudly came in at #10. It was the comments associated with the rankings that got me thinking. The upcoming back-to-back road games with Stanford and Oregon were mentioned, and as many expect, they will not come away unscathed. But what if...what if they took care of business at home against Cal and then shocked the nation by beating both the Cardinal and the Ducks in their stadiums. It mentioned they would quickly swap places with the teams above them...or would they.
That's the problem with this whole system. With pre-season rankings and a bias towards the SEC because...well, they're the SEC (what, do we actually need any facts to back up how awesome they are). If UCLA were to go 3-0 over the next few weeks, I would expect them to not only be ranked behind Alabama, but Clemson, too. And even the third place total will probably be a mixed bag with teams like Florida St., Louisville and even one-loss Georgia being within a few votes of us. But can you blame the voters --- at that point, we will have only beaten Nebraska, Utah, Stanford and Oregon, all on the road. (Oh, and let's not forget that if UCLA and Alabama were then to lose similar type games to similarly ranked teams, Alabama would drop a handful of spots and we'd be out of the top ten).
Sure, this is all academic, and the what if games can lead to all kinds of silliness. But we all know that it would probably happen like this, and those votes have a concrete impact on post-season play. That's what this is so frustrating. Since we can't do much about it... SEC, keep scheduling your laughable non-conference games, keep making sure that many of the top east and west teams don't play each other and keep scheduling bye weeks for your marquee programs before big games. And voters, keep buying into the hype.

I had my hair trial today
- Posted 7 months ago by carolinacola
- last comment
If you have long, straight hair that's completely uncooperative to any "home" type attempts to curl it ie the curling iron, would it be possible for a professional to make it curly and stay? I want something like this for the wedding and my engagement photos:
But I have mostly straight with a slight wave hair that is extremely resistant to the curling iron. It will curl for about 20 minutes to half an hour, but after that it will begin to fall flat, even with copious amounts of hair spray.
So, in your experience and knowledge, is there a way for the pro's to curl resistant hair?
Posting to follow. My hair is exactly the same! All down do's seem to involve some type of curls
@Omgbunnies: Same question here…Im from Texas and the humidity kills my hair. My curls will only stay for a couple hours:(
@Omgbunnies: Same question here…Im from Texas and the humidity kills my hair. My curls will only stay for a couple hours:(
Have you tried sleeping in rollers? Spritz your hair with a little water (or maybe some flexible hold hair spray?) before rolling it up and then sleep with them in. It's not the most comfortable, but it usually results in lasting curls for me! It takes a few tries to figure out where to place the curlers for the best results. Also, use smaller curlers than you'd expect to. If you choose a large one thinking "I want big curls," it'll just fall out. Make sure you choose something small enough so it's tight and bouncy when you first take it out, and then it'll settle a bit as the day goes on.
Aboslutely a stylist can make your curls stay!!! I am a hair stylist of 9 years, and I have straight as a board fine hair. When I was younger I could never have curl and have it stay…Now I don't have that problem at all , all because of the products I use. You have to use a thermal spray!! Any stylist will know this. I would book with your favorite salon for a hair trial. And test it out to make sure your curls stay. I LOVE Kenra's HotSpray!!! You spray on each individual strand and Waa Laa…Curl All you need is a strong hold Hair spray…my fav at the Moment is Color Proof's strong Hold and You should be good to go! I hope this helps and if you have any questions about hair you can always message me
Have you tried curling with sponge curlers? For people with ultra-straight hair, if sponge curlers don't work (you put them in the night before and take them out just before the event), hot curlers DEFINITELY won't!
Thanks for asking this question! I also have hair that holds curl for about, oh, an hour, and then it's mostly gone. I love the photo you posted, I was thinking something similar for my wedding. Thanks to those that posted adivce, I will have to to some trial runs before the big day.
Yay!! I'm glad my post could help others!!
I will have to try hair rollers!! I don't have any but I will look for them at a store.

Monday is a holiday for many people in the Midstate as rifle deer season begins.
This year's opening day is one of the latest season openers in years because Thanksgiving was so late this year.
An estimated 750,000 hunters will be gunning for that prize deer. But first, many made a stop for supplies at Bass Pro Shops so they will be on point.
"Folks come out to buy ammunition, calls, scents, tree stands, camo clothing, footwear," said Jimmy O'Brien, Bass Pro general manager.
O'Brien said tens of thousands of Midstaters made their way through the store over the weekend. Bass Pro Shops had additional staff, and hunters with a new rifle in their cross hairs had to take a number.
"It's a lot of tradition guys going to camp or guys going out with their families -- grandfathers, fathers, children. So there's a lot of tradition in PA deer hunting," O'Brien said.
Tim Kloss of Dillsburg is hoping to pass the tradition along. He took his son, Brandon Kloss, deer hunting for the first time.
"Hopefully getting a deer for my boy -- brought many home for him. (We) had a bear, and he loved that. Hopefully I can get him something that he can see and shoot at," Kloss said.
That is exactly what Brandon is aiming for, too.
"I've been looking forward to it a lot actually," he said. "It's exciting because I actually get to go hunt and not stay home."
Deer season is two weeks long.

Obviously none of us know what's going to happen, I was off last year when I was hoping Brian Orakpo would slip to Denver in the 1st round once Tyson Jackson was gone. He did, and I thought for sure Denver would send in the pick seconds after the 11th pick was chosen last year... "with the 12th pick in the 2009 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos take Knowshon Moreno".... I thought are you kidding me!
But as the draft played out I started to see the McD/Xanders strategy. It was about guys who want to play and have strong character. Guys who McDaniels feel will not wilt under pressure. (My only caveat is I defended the decision to trade a 1st for the Phonz last year and I'm having a hard time defending that decision today. Right now, that looks like a horrible decision. He may turn out, but imagine being able to pick McClain at #11 and Dan Williams at #14... just saying what if...now onto what I would say the smart decisions are this year)
Knowing what we know now, I feel we can have a better grasp on what McD/X want to do this year. I'm sure I'll still be terribly wrong.
Option #1
Stay at #11 and pick either Dan Williams or Rolondo McClain. I can't see any other player being a good fit and value at #11 for Denver. If they like one of these two guys enough and they are available, I think they send in their pick.
Option #2
The Giants are rumored to be hot after Rolondo McClain. If the Broncos feel Sean Witherspoon is a better fit, they could trade down 4 spots to #15 and pick up extra picks and still get their LB. They did have Weatherspoon workout for them, but that could just be a smokescreen.
Option #3
Or, they could trade back with a number of teams picking in the teens that are interested in CJ Spiller or McClain. Once at #15, there are a number of teams that may be interested in moving up to #15 for Earl Thomas or Kyle Wilson including Philly at #24. It's possible Denver trades back again with Philly who has a ton of picks and hopes Maurkice Pouncey falls to them at #24. If they were able to pull this off, they may pick up 3 or 4 extra picks and land Pouncey who fills just as big of a need as any of the defenders they could pick in the 1st round. They would then likely have plenty of picks in rounds 2-4 to fill other holes on the roster.
Option #4
Same as #3 but... The Broncos would have more than enough ammo to move back into the first round if their is another player that falls to the bottom of round 1 that they like. Maybe Dez Bryant, Weatherspoon, or even Iupati who could fill in the other G spot opposite Kuper.
It's easy to speculate but we have no idea if teams will be willing to trade up with Denver, or Denver even wants to do it. But my feeling is this is a deep draft and Pouncey fills as big a need as any other, so why not trade back, pick up Pouncey and get some extra picks. Easy... Right... ;)

Tim Thomas, who signed a four-year, $20 million extension with the Bruins yesterday, will be considered on over-35 contract even though he doesn't turn 35 until April 15. For contract purposes, the player's age is calculated on the June 30 before the season the deal goes into effect.
I unfortunately didn't get much of a chance to weigh in on Thomas's new deal, but I'm glad I waited until this bit of information was clarified. That the contract is guaranteed as a cap hit, regardless of whether or not he gets injured, retires or is abducted by aliens, has to at least be somewhat of a concern for Bruins fans.
The percentage of goalies who play at a high level at 38 and 39 years old is incredibly slim. There are only three older than 36 who have seen NHL action this season — Cujo, Dwayne Roloson and Olaf Kolzig — and only Roloson has played at a decently high level. Thomas is also already the third-oldest netminder to play 40 games this season, and the 10th oldest overall.
That's not taking anything away from Thomas. He is a great guy and has had a phenomenal, Vezina-calibre season, but the risk involved on a four-year deal on an over-35 contract is sky high. What's a bargain now could very well be an albatross in 2011-12.
Never mind 2012-13.

We think the name of this plant, "Happy Plant", comes from the fact that they are so easy to look after, they always looks happy ! They have been one of the most popular indoor plants for decades now. Happy Plants are in fact a Dracaena which is a group of indoor container plants that are hardy, low water-use and easy care. Happy Plants have broad strappy leaves with, light green stripes. Happy plants can grow in low light conditions, but look their best in bright light conditions. Plants live for many years. There may be a point where you will need to prune your Happy Plant as they have a habit of growing straight up. Once this is done the plant usually produces new grow from the sides of the stems. It is advisable to use a self-watering pot with a very well drained potting mix. Fertilise now and then with a seaweed based liquid fertiliser. Happy Plants also make a great patio container plant, but prefer defused light, not direct sun light.

Recorded right after the end of Gigantour 1 in Buenos Aires, Argentina on October 9, 2005. This is it kids, the ultimate Megadeth show! Megadeth are worshipped in Argentina and they played one night outside in front of a sea of fans. The show is presented in widescreen and DTS sound, features occasional split screens and constant head banging 'Deth songs. The set is awesome and contains 18 songs (including a rare performance of "I'll Be There"). It took me back to when I saw them for Gigantour in Sept. 2005 and 2006 in Montreal.
This is my favorite lineup since Mustaine, Friedman, Ellefson and Menza. Megadeth is half Canadian now because of the Drover brothers. This was before Dave enlisted the services of James LoMenzo (Black Label Society) as permanent bassist; James MacDonough (Iced Earth) played bass for the duration of the first Gigantour and for this show. Dave's vocals and mood are in great form, shredding along to songs covering most of their catalogue. My only gripe is that the show isn't shown in its entirety; I clearly remember Dave posting on the Megadeth forum saying that they'd perform 22 songs; where are the four missing?
As far as bonus features go; it's very slim. We're treated to alternate angles of "Symphony of Destruction" and that's all folks. Every now and then during the concert, we get snippets of Dave and Glen playing acoustic guitar surrounded by fans in Argentina; it would've been fun to see and hear more of that. Maybe a few videos from "The System Has Failed" would've been nice too ("Die Dead Enough" and "Of Mice and Men" come to mind) since there weren't any on the "Arsenal of Megadeth" DVD set. Anyhow, this is a great DVD; better than "Rude Awaekning" although Rude has more songs and that bonus underground B&W show. Get your hands on this, you won't regret it.

I myself have never seen such a so perfect video. Not even on those from Hollywood screens.
The Captive Gray Alien video was not to be uploaded. It was a big error! The guy crossed the line and next he had to find a way out ending at his 8 Files uploaded 1 year later.
I'll repeat: the Dossier (5 Parts) has to be read if you really want each and every detail of this case. There are all links and details I know.

Saturday night's TUF Finale ended with a bang, marking the final showing of the series on its newer home of FX. The debut of the females on the long running series will be welcomed by the new Fox Sports One channel. During the post-fight press conference with CagedInsider.com, White was quick to praise the UFC's partnered Fox distributors, but not before flexing on the disgruntled fans, not receiving Fuel TV.
"People are bitching about fights being on Fuel. How about the fights not being anywhere. How about nobody being able to see the fights. How about that. Because that's the way it would of been if we wouldn't have been with a big company like Fox."
White also let it be known that the change in venue may also be a permanent change. After the Hard Rock Hotel decided to go with their Def Leopard residence over the UFC event, White says they may have made a big mistake.
"I wasn't crazy about it when the deal went down because what happen was Def Leppard had residency over there [Hard Rock] at the same time, so we had to come over here. This worked out fantastic. Hard Rock shouldn't have let us do this. I like it. I like it a lot. I tell you what, we might be moving again, I like it over here."
Formerly an advocate against female mma, Dana now has no problem admitting that the girl fights 'don't suck.' The UFC pres. was also quick to shoot down any talks of transgender fighter Fallon Fox in the UFC.
Women's fights don't suck. They're very good, I love it. They're fantastic. And I love this division we have. This 135 division, like I said when we [first] did this, is very competitive."
"Im not falling for that. Fallon Fox is nowhere close to the UFC."

Tom Loney retiring from IMC; two leasing execs hired
November 21, 2012-- Furniture Today,
HIGH POINT — Tom Loney, International Market Centers executive vice president of leasing based here, will retire at the first of the year after 28 years in the home furnishings industry.
IMC has named Richard Krapfel director of leasing and said his "focus will be on serving IMC's growing roster of tenants and identifying new sales opportunities" for the High Point properties, which include more than 6 million square feet of showroom space.
Susan Beck also has joined IMC as leasing manager. Krapfel and Beck will be based in High Point and report to Julie Messner, vice president of business development-High Point.
"I want to offer a sincere and heartfelt thank you to all of the wonderful people that I had the privilege of working with the past 28 years. Teammates who worked so hard to create an environment that supported personal and professional successes," Loney said in a statement.
Loney began his career at High Point's International Home Furnishings Center in 1984 as director of marketing and was promoted to director of leasing for furnishings in 1990, vice president of leasing in 2002, and executive vice president of leasing in 2005.
"As an integral member of our family for 28 years, Tom has the respect and admiration of our team and the hundreds of tenants he has built relationships with over the years," IMC President of Home Furnishings Tom Mitchell said.
Krapfel will handle permanent leasing functions including prospect development, key tenant and prospect account management, and new and renewal leasing activity. He has sales management and customer management experience at industry companies such as Valdese Weavers, Dicey and Basofil Fibers, IMC said.
Beck, who will focus on temporary leasing in the Suites at Market Square, has more than 20 years of sales and account management experience in the home furnishings and interior design industries, including with Top 100 company Furnitureland South here, Stickley's High Point showroom, and the former Rose Furniture.

Types of Granite Countertops
The most basic factors that determine the type of granite countertop is the construction method employed and the materials used. Let's take a look at construction methods first.
Construction methods
There are three construction methods that greatly affect the cost and quality of a granite countertop: solid slabs, overlays and veneers.
Premium slab countertops
This is the oldest method of making granite countertops and is also the most expensive. Countertop surfaces are made from large, solid pieces of granite.
It practically goes without saying that the durability of this method of construction is unmatched. The downside is that not all imperfections that show up after long years of use can be eliminated. Choose this option if you are in it for the long haul. Unless you are swimming in dollar bills, you won't be able to swap it out for a different color or style on a whim a few years later.
Granite overlay countertops
This is a new, innovative method that is somewhere between slap countertops and veneer countertops in quality, although a closer relative to the veneer method.
First off you need an existing countertop already in place, so this solution isn't for new home builders. The idea is to build on top of the old countertop using thin pieces of granite that don't greatly alter the shape of the existing design.
Although the slabs are very thin, durability is superior to veneer countertops. As expected this is the middle option in terms of price. You get a look and feel that is very similar to traditional slabs for much less. One key disadvantage is that it is tough to find suppliers that offer this alternative. Since it is a new method, pros and cons of long-term ownership are cloudy.
Veneer countertops
Although inexpensive, veneer countertops are still a huge step up from countertops with cheap synthetic surfaces. A veneer is an ultra-thin layer of authentic granite placed over some type of wood composite material.
When done right veneer countertops can look incredibly attractive. Since you are using such a thin layer of granite you can use a higher quality pattern without increasing the price as drastically as if it were a solid slab.
The downside is that veneer countertops aren't as durable as real slabs. If the surface gets scratched it's tough or impossible to buff out because the layer of granite is so thin. Although it will last for many years, it won't last for possibly many lifetimes like an authentic granite countertop. If you are on a tight budget or like to renovate your kitchen often, this may be the option for you.
Materials used
We've looked at the importance of construction methods. Now let's turn our attention to materials as this is the other important factor that separates one granite countertop from another.
Granite is the most widespread type of stone on the earth, so it makes sense that there is a tremendous variety. The most basic way of organizing raw granite material is doing so by color. Different varieties include white, beige, yellow, gold, green, blue, red, burgundy, brown, gray and black. For more details you can read the full article on granite countertop colors.
Besides colors, patterns in granite also differ greatly. This is where pricing becomes based on art and fashion and less on objective measurements. Patterns deemed more fashionable have a greater demand and therefore can fetch a premium price.
When selecting a type of granite it is recommended that you try to overlook fads and pick a color and pattern that resonates with your individual tastes. A solid granite countertop will last a lifetime so it makes no sense to pay an extravagant price for "the latest thing." It will likely cease to be so in a couple years.

Scan the floor of a snowy woodlot, field or forest and visibility will be excellent. The flick of a whitetail's ear, the undulating lope of a gray squirrel against the snowcover or a grouse walking through the scrub will be quickly reveal against the white background. Even a tiny deer mouse sprinting from one hole to another in the frozen cover is quickly revealed.
But a few Pennsylvania mammals -- four to be precise -- aren't as readily seen when their habitat is blanketed in white. Three species of weasels and a rabbit change their otherwise dark brown summer coats for pelage of white in winter. Should the season remain snow-less, they may stick out like proverbial "sore thumbs" but this year their genetic adaptation is surely serving them well.

NDOR meeting Wednesday evening on Intercity Bus Usage statewide
The Nebraska Department of Roads will hold the fourth of eight open house meetings statewide this month regarding their study on Intercity bus usage within the state. The meeting Wednesday evening in Scottsbluff will provide information and gather input from the community to assess needs across the state.
Kari Ruse with the Nebraska Department of Roads in Lincoln tells KNEB News they will ask people to fill out a brief survey on general transportation needs within the state. Ruse says Intercity Bus is defined as transporting the general public over a fixed route, connecting two or more urban areas in the state. She says that's the definition from the Federal Transit Administration. She says here in Nebraska that often means transporting people from a rural area to an urban area.
In addition to the Intercity Bus, Ruse says they are looking for input on general public transportation awareness and ability across the state.
The public is invited to attend and present relevant comments and questions at the meeting, which will be held from 5 to 7 pm Wednesday evening at the Harms Center in Scottsbluff.

Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln. It has been kind of that week for me. Ravens did not get off to a great start to the season, I had a great time at Baltimore Comic Con and Team USA qualified for the World Cup. It has been a nice week. Washington lost so their fans happiness does not make the Steelers losing as bad as it could be. There are fifteen more games left; so, big picture is not as bad as it could be.
There have been quite a few posts about the roster. Fans can be very critical about the roster, but it is hard for me to see any GM that could have been ready for the chaos that hit the Steelers roster over the past ten months. Colbert has been ready and able to deal with the fall out. That is all you can ask from him. Sad to say what happened Sunday is now SOP for the Steelers. Colbert deals with this kind of thing in his sleep now. The Cap situation could have been much worse. How often has the team had to pay the injured starter, the injured back-up and the replacement to for that back-up? You have to stretch those cap dollars. What seems to have changed is the ability of team's offense to adjust.
Before last year the offense had the ability to adjust to the disaster of the week. It may not have been pretty but it was winning. The team made it to two Superbowls with not the best of offensive lines. The team got past subpar OL play against Arizona to win the game. I think we know what the team wants to do offensively. I would now just like to know want the team can do. They need to do that and do it well.
There may be some that complain that the offense is underperforming, but if it is winning I could care less. I can live with a Superbowl team that you would like to run better. Maybe the front office can learn to live with it too.

[Box Score] - [Game Page] - [Ottawa Reaction]
[Shift Charts] - [Head-to-Head TOI] - [Corsi and Fenwick] - [5-on-5 Faceoffs]
What else is there to say? I could sit here and write 500 words on why the Flyers lost tonight, but the fact of the matter is simple. You don't care why they lost tonight. I don't care why they lost tonight. We just care that yes, they lost tonight. Again.
This is getting old. Very, very old. You're frustrated. I'm frustrated. The Flyers themselves are certainly frustrated. Unfortunately, they're the only ones that can actually do something about it. The Capitals are now atop the East, the Penguins are knocking at the door in the Atlantic.
Four straight losses. Two games left before the playoffs begin. Not exactly a confidence builder.
The playoffs are either going to be a welcome blessing or a bitter, bitter continuation of this mess. Wake the hell up, Flyers, and do it like, yesterday. Questions with answers and the comment of the night after the jump.
Questions with Answers
- How does Nikolay Zherdev look tonight after two solid games? He and Mike Richards had something tonight. That was cool.
- How does Ville Leino respond to his benching? Poorly.
- Craig Anderson has been incredible (for the most part) in Ottawa. Can he steal one for the Sens? He didn't need to steal one.
- In his second NHL game, what does Stephane Da Costa do for the Sens? He was looked at hard by the Flyers out of college before signing with Ottawa. It doesn't matter.

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Big Tit Venera is a hot, busty pornstar whose 2H cups have landed her a spot at a premier Scores model. Here her members can enjoy a handful of her exclusive, high definition scenes with this fabulously busty beauty in softcore scenes.
Original pornstar content.
These are all exclusive scenes featuring the Venera in action. All of her sets are solo, with her playing with and licking her massive breasts. The action is softcore, letting us simply bask in Verena's beauty as she shares her awesome body with us in all original scenes.
High quality collection.
Both the videos and pictures are really good-looking. This is a professional site and that's clear in the material. The movies are offered as both wmvs and mp4s, playing at 2200k and 1280 x 720 in size. The images are 1200 x 800 and they're sharp and nicely done.
Other Good Stuff:
Tiny collection.
Big Tit Venera has just 6 videos and 6 galleries on her site. With 25 minutes per video and 50 photos per gallery, it won't take long at all to see this tiny collection.
No interaction with Venera.
There's no way to get to know Venera on her site. There's no blog, forum, or webcams to give member's the chance to really interact with her, which makes sense since the site is inactive at this point.
Not updating.
It's been five months since the last count, but the site is still stalled at just 6 sets. There are no update dates or logs, so it's hard to say when the last new scene was adding, but at this point I would say don't join if you have a lot of expectations for new materials.
Minor Negatives:
If only her site was as large as her breasts!
Big Tit Venera is sure to catch your eye, with her massive tits. Unfortunately, the site itself is much too small. The tiny collection doesn't seem to be growing either. There's no interaction with Venera either. The network access is the only thing that makes this $30 a month site worth considering. Otherwise, there's just not enough here.

|Chapter 6: Commands
|6.18. Alternatives To Standard Parsing
Very occasionally, for out-of-the-ordinary games, we want to make major changes to the way that Inform ordinarily understands commands.
Cloves shows how we might read adverbs in the player's command: adverbs are challenging because they can legitimately appear anywhere in a command structure, so must be found and accounted for before the rest of the command is understood.
Fragment of a Greek Tragedy goes further, substituting a keyword-recognition parser for the usual structure of commands and objects.
Less drastically, menus of numbered options can temporarily replace or augment standard commands. Down in Oodville demonstrates how to add a list of transporter destinations from which the player may choose by numeral.
See Traits Determined By the Player for ways to ask the player a question at the beginning of play
See Saying Simple Things for a way to ask the player a yes-no question any time during play
| Example Cloves
Accepting adverbs anywhere in a command, registering what the player typed but then cutting them out before interpreting the command.
| Example Fragment of a Greek Tragedy
Responding to the player's input based on keywords only, and overriding the original parser entirely.
| Example Down in Oodville
Offering the player a choice of numbered options at certain times, without otherwise interfering with his ability to give regular commands.

Conley came to Central Texas and the First Alert 25 Storm Team in December 2008. He looks forward to providing the best severe weather coverage in Central Texas.
Conley grew up in the Fort Worth area and was fascinated with weather at an early age. It was the hail storm of May '95 that made him want to become a TV meteorologist. He took that passion to Texas A&M University where he received his B.S. in Meteorology. While in college, Conley had the opportunity to storm chase and loves to track severe storms.
His first job was in the Brazos Valley at KBTX. While there, he covered all kinds of weather including major flood events and Hurricane Rita. From there, he traveled to East Texas to the town of Lufkin, where he was the Chief Meteorologist for KTRE-TV from 2005 to 2008. Conley spent over two days on air covering Hurricane Ike and it was an experience he will never forget.
Conley has storm chased in Central Texas for the past few years and has seen numerous severe weather events. One of the biggest was the major flooding event from the remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine in September 2010. Conley was in Salado tracking the levels of the creeks and witnessed how fast the waters rose, flooding out homes and businesses. By streaming live video back to the weather team and the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, he was able to alert the public sooner with life saving information.
Conley has been designated a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist by the American Meteorological Society. Severe weather is his number one priority so you can trust that the First Alert 25 weather team will be there anytime severe weather threatens.
The First Alert Meteorologists earned the "StormReady" designation issued by the National Weather Service in April 2012. KXXV was the first station in Texas to earn this title.
His lovely wife Stacy is from Central Texas and they are excited to be close to family. They look forward to making Central Texas their home.

I painted a picture from a photograph ion a book and took a photograph of it to get a canvas print for a friend. I made the print shop promise to destroy the CD with the photo and any copies they made in the process of printing. A couple of days later they called me to tell me that they had printed another and would like to display it in their window and offered to sell copies and share the profits. I reminded them that they should have destroyed the photo as requested but agreed in principle, provided that they would let me mount and finish it and check out the copyright situation.
I found that the particular photographers work had been bought by the Getty Image library. (Probably the most protective of all image owners) The painting was of some old French men playing cards but, by coincidence, the Getty Image library offices were only 300 yards from the print shop in London.
I talked to the Getty image library who could not find the photo and asked me to send them a scan of it.
They called me back and informed me that should I make copies of my painting (even as gifts for friends or family) they wanted $450 per copy. Needless to say I have had numerous offers to buy the painting or copies of it but have had to decline these offers.

The Eureka Spitfire 1 is loaded with mesh for great ventilation. This ultralight 1-person tent boasts 40 in. of center height for ample headroom as well as a large side door for easy entry and exit. Set up is fast and easy with post and grommet corner attachments and clips to attach the tent body to the Spitfire 1 frame.
|Love this tent, in some ways. Great price on ACK, light, easy to set up. It is a bit like sleeping in a coffin. Room for only the most essential inside the tent. Had more condensation inside the next morning than I was expecting. The vestibule of the fly is so small I could only put my boots there, sideways at that. If you are taller than 5'8" or wide body this is not the tent for you. There is enough room in the middle to sit up and that's it.
|Product arrived promptly. Very pleased with service. Intend to use ACK again.
|Ive been researching 1 person backpacking tents under $100.00 and kept coming across this tent with excellent reviews most of the time. Ive not gone out yet, but I did seal the seams and floor and set it up in my backyard. Easy to set up with enough room inside to sit up and roll on my side while sleeping. Throw the steel stakes away and get aluminum or titanium I got 10 aluminum stakes. A small vestibule by the entrance offers some room for boots or a pack I plan to keep my stove there for my mandatory morning cup of coffee an even smaller semblance of a vestibule is on the non- entrance side which can hold smaller items. I like the vent on top for air flow and understand the importance of orienting the tent with the vent facing the wind. Minimum of 2 stakes to pitch with up to 10 if it needs to be guyied down due to winds. Reasonably light. Ive seen a number of pictures where the tent does not appear taught. I got mine tight as a drum very easy. I batted it around to simulate wind action and it remained nice and tight. There is some space inside at either side while laying down enough to store gear you may want access to at night while sleeping additional layers of clothing etc. The mesh will provide plenty of air flow during dry summer nights when I will sleep without the rain fly. Im happy with the purchase and the price was right with an additional 20% coupon. I believe this will be a great tent and with reasonable care should last a long time. Delivery was prompt and so far Ive enjoyed my Austin Kayak purchases. My tent was shipped in the original Eureka box which clearly advertises the contents and was left at my door. This concerned me because anyone could have seen the contents and taken it. I gave Austin Kayak my feedback regarding this shipping practice.
|4 stars only because its not freestanding. Im 61 and have plenty of room for me, my long sleep pad, and a 35L pack. Bigger packs would have to be stored in the vestibule. Theres space at your feet for the small pack & your boots as well. i can also sit up easily without brushing my head on the top. 0 condensation as well, but it was a dry night here. The vent works well if you face it into the wind. I also turned the tent into the wind & opened the rain fly over the entry and it was relatively cool. I live in TX & this tent will do fine here & I dont see an issue with it being used anywhere. Great tent!
