No, not illusion. All of their games are illusions. Allusion. As in reference to some other literary work, historical event, place, myth, etc. For example, Bungie's vidoc "O Brave New World" is an allusion to either [i]The Tempest[/i] (Shakespeare) and [i]Brave New World[/i] (Huxley), but given their track record, I'm guessing it was to the former. Some of Bungie's allusions are even to past games. Most of you have probably noticed by now that there is seldom a Bungie update, mail sack, ect. without some sort of an allusion, so my question that I pass unto you is "Which is your favorite?" As for me, I liked the reference to [i]Henry V[/i] by Shakespeare (well, it could also be a Star Trek reference, but I doubt it). You know, the vidoc titled "Once More Unto the Breach."

This is FANTASTIC
Posted by Reviewer2701928 on Jun 06, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
This Dulse is absolutely fantastic. Whole leaf is so much better than cut or pulverized. You'll notice the difference in how you feel. This one works the best for me.

Big bag of moldy leaves
Posted by KuusenAlla on Aug 05, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
The bag contained large strips of dulse leaves as well as some other particles. The leaves were uneven in colour, more than the natural variation. They had white and greenish dots on them. The smell is fishy so my cat loves them but I wanted to buy it as human food, not a cat toy.

We are going through a relocation and have packed up almost all of the models and tools for the move. But in the mean time I thought I would keep this one out for my plastic fix!
Inspired by a custom ranch truck model in SA Enthusiast, 1998.
It was my first real attempt at Body modifications (open door not hinged), chassis mods and drive line swaps. Metalizer paint where new to me and polishing paint was for cars not models! But I thought I would try that as well. I smoothed the fenders, sectioned the cab and cut the hood down. The 50 Ford was combined with a Boyd's Smoothster.
This model has gone through some rough handling over the years and has collected quite a bit of dust. I have always wanted to restore it so here we go.
The tires shrunk up and cracked, the glue is brittle and showing, the paint needs something and I would like to detail the engine more. Any way take a look and let me know what you think.

From Barnes & NobleDiscover Great New Writers
Like millions before them, Eastern Europeans continue to make their way to New York even to this day. And it is the enduring strength of the human spirit to imagine and pursue a better future that informs Vaclav & Lena, Tanner's lovely, deeply moving novel about a group of latter-day immigrants. Vaclav and Lena are children when we first meet them, living in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. Both came from Russia—Vaclav, thanks to the perseverance of his mother; Lena under less upstanding circumstances. Vaclav has dreams of becoming a modern-day Houdini, with Lena as his beautiful assistant. But one day, Lena disappears—and, as Vaclav realizes, his mother, however well meaning, had something to do with it.
Deceptively simple, Vaclav & Lena works on many levels. It is a story of an immigrant's life, with the ambivalence that abandoning old ways and learning new rhythms entails; it is a story of a mother's love, with all the thrill and pain of watching a child grow up and grow away; and it is the story of young love, with the attendant question of whether it can survive the blows of maturity and disillusionment.
But mostly, it's the story of a boy who dares to believe in magic, by a novelist who gracefully shows us whether we can believe in it, too.

About U-Haul
U-Haul was founded by a Navy veteran who grew up during the Great Depression. Tires and gas were still rationed or in short supply during the late 1940s when U-Haul began serving U.S. customers. Today, that background is central to the U-Haul Sustainability Program: "Serving the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Our commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle includes fuel-efficient moving vans, neighborhood proximity, moving box reuse, moving pads made from discarded material and packing peanuts that are 100% biodegradable. Learn more about these facts and others at uhaul.com/sustainability.
Since 1945, U-Haul has been the choice for the do-it-yourself mover. U-Haul customers' patronage has enabled the Company to maintain the largest rental fleet in the do-it-yourself moving industry which includes trucks, trailers and towing devices. U-Haul also offers storage throughout North America. The Company provides industry leading moving and storage boxes and an extended line of packing supplies to protect customer possessions. U-Haul is the consumer's number one choice as the largest installer of permanent trailer hitches in the automotive aftermarket. The Company supplies alternative-fuel for vehicles and backyard grills as one of the nation's largest retailers of propane.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric.

Utilizing Lessons from AmeriCorps as Mayor
Mayor John Fetterman is being honored as a Champion of Change for his time and effort in AmeriCorps.
As the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, one of the state's poorest and most challenged communities, my service through AmeriCorps underpins much of my entire professional career and pays dividends daily.
In some respects, I've never left AmeriCorps. Just this past Friday, members from Allegheny County's KEYS Service Corps celebrated their summer of service in our community's playgrounds. Next week, KEYS Service Corps members will assist with the constructions of an off-leash area for dogs and help staff our Community Day celebration.
Without KEYS Service Corps, our community could not actively engage Braddock's children during the summer months. But AmeriCorps involvement in our community extends far beyond our playgrounds. AmeriCorps also directs the largest and most successful youth summer jobs program in Allegheny County- The Braddock Youth Project.
Their service to Braddock also annually includes several large-scale service projects.
I'd like to believe I made a difference during my years in AmeriCorps setting up the first computer labs in Pittsburgh's Hill District and teaching GED classes. Even 15 years after my formal service ended, I will still occasionally encounter a former student that is doing well for themselves and families.
Serving alongside members in Braddock reminds me of my own time with AmeriCorps. The partnership Braddock enjoys with KEYS Service Corps, without a doubt, is one of the most important and potent community rebuilding forces currently operating in Braddock today.
John Fetterman is the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania.

Warrant roundup results in more than 100 arrests and hundreds of thousands in revenue for city
The Great Texas Warrant Roundup wrapped up Sunday, resulting in more than a hundred arrests.
$231,604 in overdue fines was collected.
414 warrants have been cleared since the city began issuing notices on February 25th.
167 residents were arrested for unpaid fines during the roundup period.
The Municipal Court said there are about 7,000 residents on the warrant list at any given time, but that number dips each year right after the roundup.
Abilene spokeswoman Calli Harris said the numbers were "comparable" to last year's roundup.

Man convicted of murdering Coachella teenager
Updated On: Apr 01 2014 05:38:16 PM CDT
Jurors came to a verdict last week regarding a 2009 murder case in Coachella, but the decision was sealed by the court until Tuesday.
Angel Anthony Esparza, 30, has been convicted of killing 16-year-old Angel Luna. Luna was shot to death outside the Boys & Girls Club in Coachella on December 3, 2009.
But, the announcement came with the declaration of a mistrial regarding two additional murder charges Esparza faces from December 19, 2009.
Jurors deadlocked 9-3 in favor of guilt for the killings of Gregorio Juarez and Pedro Garcia in Thermal. The jury had been deliberating since last week but were unable to reach an agreement.
A trial readiness conference has been scheduled for April, 25.
Esparza faces special circumstance allegations of multiple murders, murder during the commission of a robbery and murder in the commission of a
kidnapping for the second two counts, making him eligible for the death penalty if convicted.
Esparza's sentencing date for the murder of Angel Luna is also scheduled for April, 25.
Jurors have come to a verdict on one murder charge but they have deadlocked on two others. A judge asked the jury to resume deliberations at 2 p.m. to see if they can come to an agreement, but they haven't been able to do so.
The jury is reconvening Thursday at 10 a.m. to continue deliberations. The verdict that's been agreed upon hasn't been announced yet.
Along with three counts of murder, Esparza faces special circumstance allegations of multiple murders, murder during the commission of a robbery and murder in the commission of a kidnapping. He could face the death penalty if convicted.

Hospitals Should Review Joint Commission Standards in Light of DC Nurse Firings
The firings of 15 nurses and six other essential personnel by Washington (DC) Hospital Center for failing to show up to work during blizzards opens the door to discuss what The Joint Commission expects of hospitals and staff during an emergency.
The staffers, who have been fired, called in when storms dumped more than 40 inches of snow on the DC area between Feb. 5 and Feb. 11. Hospital officials said they offered transportation for the nurses and also alerted staff beforehand that they should make accommodations, such as staying at the hospital, when the storms hit.
Nurses United of the National Capital Region, a union that represents nurses from Washington Hospital Center, has filed a labor grievance with the facility over the firings.
Joint Commission emergency management standard EM.02.02.07 comes into play with this situation. The standard sets a variety of provisions on how a hospital manages staff roles and responsibilities during a disaster. The idea is that an organization and its workers must be able to adapt from normal routines when dealing with an emergency.
Some specific provisions that might have been considered by area hospitals during the blizzards include the following:
- A facility's emergency operations plan must describe how the hospital will handle staff support activities, including housing, transportation, and mental health. In other words, it may fall to an organization to find sleeping quarters for employees who get stranded at the hospital because of inclement weather, and a facility may also need to consider whether it will travel out to workers' homes to pick them up. To accommodate workers who spent the night at Washington Hospital Center during one of the storms, the facility offered 7,300 meal vouchers and found sleeping arrangements for 2,200 workers at various times.
- The emergency operations plan must describe how the hospital will support the needs of employees' families, including child care, elder care, communication, and pet care. Clearly babysitting services, which appear to have played a role in at least some of the absenteeism at Washington Hospital Center, are a big concern to address ahead of time in The Joint Commission's eyes. About 250 nurses at Washington Hospital Center didn't arrive for their shifts during the storms, The Washington Post reported. It seems likely some of the nurses who didn't get fired had childcare issues that were taken into consideration, although it's not clear how much leeway was granted in that regard.
Another Joint Commission standard requires hospitals to annually review the findings of their "hazard vulnerability analysis." This analysis weighs the risks of a given emergency against the likelihood of it happening, and then ranks the resulting consequences.
The Washington Hospital Center situation should prompt all medical facilities to reconsider any findings in the hazard vulnerability analysis that hinge on staff members showing up to work. Weather-related emergencies would be one area to review again with a critical eye in the analysis, but also look at terrorist threats that could lead to worried workers either staying with family members or avoiding public areas, such as hospitals, out of fear of follow-up attacks.

The testimonies from the letters included in the article are chilling. There is also a link to period photographs that are very interesting.Thanks OP for posting an interesting look into history. A caption for one of the photographs mentioned that the reason Russia went to war with the Ottomans was to protect Christians under persecution. Nothing much has changed with the muzzies since the 18th century or the 7th century for that matter. The modern West still doesn´t get it.

Copping has trotted out some two dozen letters written after the assault, which detail the terror of battle, and labeled them ´documents that reveal new accounts of this calamitous assault´. Beyond hysterical. Despite the error of the battle order, the Charge succeeded. Cardigan took about 800 Dragoons, Lancers and Hussars some 1000 meters down the Valley, breaching and destroying the Russian Batteries below the Fedyukhin Heights, at its end. The severe loss of horse prevented the English from capturing the guns. Casualties were some 118 killed and 127 wounded, aggregating 30%, but hardly catastrophic. The Brigade was not taken out of the line and fought later in the Crimean War. BTW, since Imperial Rome, the mission of the Calvary was to assault enemy positions, in the open, on the field of battle. Someone alert this jurno buffoon.

text: Forget Greece, Look to Illinois and Beware Print article Send a Tip by John Sexton 27 Oct 2012 post a comment The state of Illinois and the nation of Greece have similar sized populations. They also face similarly dire financial problems according to a new report by Illinois' State Budget Crisis Task Force. The report calls Illinois' budget "a mess" and says unfunded liabilities in the state are "not fiscally sustainable." The report blames the crisis on decades of poor leadership which chose accounting gimmicks over fiscal discipline. Here it's worth quoting the report at length (emphasis added): Illinois' fiscal condition has deteriorated for two principal reasons. First, going back decades, Illinois has "balanced" its annual cash budget by not putting aside sufficient funds to cover the increase in future pension benefits... Second, during the good economic times of the late 1990s to mid-2000s, Illinois expanded government services, but did not raise taxes and did not put away cash reserves. The state paid for its new spending by making even smaller payments to the pension systems, borrowing heavily, sweeping special funds, and putting off paying Medicaid and employee healthcare bills until the following budget year. This chronic shortsightedness and avoidance of tough choices has accumulated to a significant structural deficit for Illinois. Richard Ravitch, a former New York city transit chief and one of the co-chairs of the budget task force, fears it will take "either social disorder or bankruptcy" before the state's leaders make necessary changes. We've seen what that can look like in Greece. The real source of Illinois' problem is pensions. In fact Illinois "has the worst unfunded pension liability of any state." The solution to the problem is simple enough, "some type of reduction in pension benefits appears inevitable." But no one in Illinois' leadership has been able to make the change. It's easy to sell expanded programs. It's hard to explain cuts or increased taxes. Illinois' other structural problem is Medicaid. In FY 2010, Medicaid accounted for 23 percent of the state's budget and that figure is going to grow under the Affordable Care Act. Under the best case scenario Obamacare will only raise spending 3.3 percent above the current baseline by 2019. However other scenarios suggest the increase could be as much as 20 percent by 2020. Rather than address these structural problems, Illinois has resorted to heavy borrowing to cover its obligations. As a result, per capita debt in Illinois is the second highest in the nation at nearly $10,000 (NY is number one). And largely because of this high level of debt, Illinois' bond rating is the worst in the nation. Moody's downgraded the state most recently in January of 2012. There is an obvious parallel between the budget issues now facing Illinois and those facing the country as a whole. Illinois has unfunded pensions and the US has Social Security. Illinois has Medicaid and the US has Medicare and Medicaid, which consume an ever increasing share of the national budget. In both cases staying afloat has been accomplished with more borrowing by short-sighted leaders. How long can this continue before "social disorder or bankruptcy" become inevitable?

Muller claims he was never close to United move
Bayern Munich star Thomas Müller claims that he was never close to a move to Manchester United despite several rumours claiming that the Premier League outfit had made an offer for him. It was only a few weeks ago when the German international confirmed that United were one of clubs interested in signing him. However, he has expressed that he is extremely happy at the Allianz arena and is not looking for a move at this point in his career. Müller is on the verge of becoming a Bayern Munich legend after having won numerous accolades despite being only 24 years old.
Welbeck could be the signing of the summer
Danny Welbeck showed with his two goals for England against Switzerland that Arsenal may well have secured the best signing of the summer when they landed the Manchester United striker on deadline day.
The 23-year-old showed pace, intelligence and a clinical instinct in front of goal as he put the finishing touches to a fine display by Roy Hodgson's men as they beat the Swiss 2-0 in Basel to take control of Euro 2016 qualifying Group E.
Race continues for Leeds United job
While Leeds United fans were universally astounded to see new owner Massimo Cellino hire the unknown David Hockaday as head coach during the summer, the Elland Road faithful only had to wait 70 days before the former Forest Green boss was shown the door after an underwhelming start to the season.
With the Championship season still very much in its infancy, Leeds will now be looking to get a new head coach in place who can salvage something out of this campaign.
Neuer Regarded As One OF The Best In Game
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is regarded as one of the best in the world. He enhanced his reputation even further by performing a starring role for the German national team at the World Cup 2014. Despite being a goalkeeper, Neuer almost performed like a sweeper for most of the tournament and it helped Germany avoid a number of goals. Germany's back four is certainly not the quickest due to the presence of players like Per Mertesacker, but manager Joachim Loew has been able to play a high-line because of Neuer's presence.
Scholes Would Love To See Kroos At United
Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has revealed that he would love to see the club signed Bayern Munich star Toni Kroos, who is widely expected to depart German football in the summer. The 24-year-old is out of contract next summer. Hence, Bayern Munich will be willing to accept a lower transfer fee rather than lose him on a free transfer next summer. Manchester United were thought to be one of the clubs heavily interested in him a few months ago. Now, the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid have also entered into the race to sign the German international.
Rooney Compares Himself With Ronaldo
Wayne Rooney has unusually compared himself with former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo in order to show that he is not a player with a lot of ego. Rooney was once spoken of as the next great player in the world, but he is yet to reach the heights attained by the likes of Ronaldo. After having played for several years with Ronaldo, Rooney was often seen to hit new heights. However, it has never come, but Ronaldo has gone on to lift more FIFA Ballon d'Or awards. Rooney has responded to the criticism that he has not delivered in the last few years.
Van Gaal Aiming For Premier League Title In First Season
New Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has claimed that he wants to win the Premier league title in his first season at the club. This comes as an ambitious statement from the Dutchman, who has won league titles in each and every one of his previous clubs. Van Gaal has managed with the likes of Ajax, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich in his previous managerial jobs with club teams. He was already one of the favourite to replace Alex Ferguson when the Scot announced his retirement in 2005. Now, he has been the club's first choice after they parted company with David Moyes.
Rooney Aspires For Captainship
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has claimed that he wants to be the new captain of Manchester United. After the departures of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, Rooney is one of the senior players at the club has been playing for them for a long time. The appointment of Louis van Gaal appeared to make Robin van Persie the number one striker at the club. The Dutchman has a great relationship with the former Bayern Munich and Barcelona manager, who is in charge of the Dutch national team now.
Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has claimed that the German outfit have their work cut out against Manchester United in the Champions League, despite the poor form of the English club.
After the first managerial change in 26 years, United have been struggling for form under David Moyes. They have slipped to seventh in the table, which would have been unthinkable during the years of Ferguson. Even though they have had some great results against Bayern Munich over the years, this United team are expected to struggle against the German outfit.
UEFA Ready To Discuss Celtic's Plan
Legendary Scottish soccer club Celtic is planning a foray into very lucrative English Premier League. It has been reported that UEFA is flexible for discussions with the club in their recent mission to finding an escape avenue out of Scot football.
UEFA's nod into discussions with Celtic has been confirmed by Gianni Infantino, the general secretary.

Posted Thursday, June 13, 2013 --- 9:07 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Veterans groups want the state Legislature to undo proposed limits on a popular property tax credit for disabled veterans and their spouses.
Gov. Scott Walker's spokesman Tom Evenson called on the Republican-controlled Legislature to "fix the issue," but lawmakers behind the change were not budging.
Limits on the tax credit program were placed into the state budget by the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee. The Assembly plans to begin budget debate Tuesday with the Senate following as soon as Thursday.
Al LaBelle, legislative director of the Disabled American Veterans of Wisconsin, tells the Wisconsin State Journal in a Thursday story that "Balancing the budget on the backs of these severely injured heroes is shameful."

The lecture is the most used method of instruction in adult education. Bear in mind that it is a method of instruction: The intent of the lecture is to teach rather than to talk to a group. A carefully constructed lecture that includes meaningful examples, frequent summaries, simple language, and an appropriate speed of delivery is the most effective. It has greater impact, however, when more creative methods, techniques, or devices are also incorporated into the process of communicating ...

text: David Letterman Targets Talk Show Host, Jay Leno Mocks Commander in Chief Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 10 May 2013 post a comment David Letterman just can't find anything funny about President Barack Obama. So he resorts to taking jabs at his favorite target--conservatives. Meanwhile, the soon to be unemployed Jay Leno continues to do what he's paid handsomely to do--mock the President of the United States as the news cycle permits on The Tonight Show. A stark example of this tale of two talkers comes with a pair of political jabs thrown this week. Letterman, commenting on N.J. Gov. Chris Christie's recent stomach stapling procedure, joked that "now if we can get Rush Limbaugh to have his mouth stapled." Not topical, not funny and certainly partisan sniping at its weakest. And then there's Leno, soon to be replaced by Jimmy Fallon despite a track record of sturdy ratings. Leno remains one of the few comedians who routinely target President Obama, although never in a mean-spirited fashion. This week's revelations about how the administration handled the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi inspired Leno to share this one-liner. "The White House has a new slogan about Benghazi: Hope and change the subject." Leno doesn't pick sides in his monologues. Letterman does, and in such an obvious manner he's missing plenty of comic material along the way.

Carles Benavent ... A light you can hear
There's a place where language becomes silence –the place of Poetry, and it's a place where music dissolves into light. Searching for a glimpse of this light, we resort to records or, if the opportunity hopefully arises, to live concerts, so we can listen to Carles Benavent's dazzling electric bass. This is a light which comes up from the lively Paral.lel Avenue in Barcelona, watched silently by the stern hill of Montjuïc, in combination with the invisible waters that flow over the streets of the Poble Sec quarter. A light fed by immigrant floods, by silence in the glasses of the Petit Paris tavern, where Serrat and Jaume Sisa used to laugh their heads off, as well as sing. And into this urban environment, too, our talented Prince of the Electric Bass was born. A wondrous electric bass player who never gives up, always re-inventing himself step by step. His steel was forged in the death rattles of 1968, and on each end of the Big Pond, in the legendary wake of Jaco Pastorius, along with the multicoloured flags of Paco de Lucía, Miles Davis, Camarón, Don Alias, Gil Goldstein, Chick Corea, and many others. This unprecedented electric bass playing, dotted with guitar chops, blurs the boundaries of jazz while being drenched in Flamenco blood. It maps, through improvisation, Brazilian spirit and African echoes and Latin stone, combining them all to engender a Fiesta, one we call Benavent, where our senses enter the harmonic arena of joy and complaint, of pain and dance, by the resonant light of the Tarot's Two of Cups, which tells about love, upon that ancient surface where Heaven and Earth hold each other again. For this music discloses the origins that preceded any frontier, any name, any race; it draws together ancient sounds, the lively and multifaceted sounds of the dawn of the world, when the human soul was passionate laughter, and it could vibrate. This music, which is a river of fire, plays as much for the dreaming slave as for the master in decline, and seems to make out a new horizon, perhaps an unlikely one, where life will be an art. Again.

Congressman Fred Upton visited two Dowagiac manufacturers Thursday to highlight issues important to job creation.
The Republican Lawmaker stopped by Premier Tool & Die and then headed over to Ameriwood Industries. Congressman Upton took a brief time-out from his tours to talk with NewsCenter 16 about the last week's controversial ruling on health care.
He says he disagrees with the Supreme Court's decision to uphold President Obama's signature law, and the increasing costs and taxes he claims will come with it.
"I support health care reform, but Obama Care was not the way to go," says Congressman Fred Upton. "Remember, the promise was made that if you like your health insurance, you can keep it. For millions of Americans, that will not be the case."
The House vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act is slated for next Wednesday, July 11.
