Washington (AP) -- So who are those "senior administration officials" you hear quoted in the media?
Sometimes they're very senior administration officials.
Take the person who briefed reporters Aboard Vice President Cheney's plane after his secret stay in Afghanistan. He didn't want his name used when he talked to reporters, but he kept using the words "I" and "me" as he referred to Cheney and to the reason for the Vice President's visit.
For example, the source said, "the reason the President wanted me to come, obviously, is because of the continuing threat that exists in this part of the world."
And when it comes to the reports that Cheney went in to "beat up on" the Pakistani president and to get him to crack down on al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters on the border with Afghanistan, the official said, "that's not the way I work."
So again, who was that mystery man on Cheney's plane? The senior administration official won't let anyone say.

Charles Taylor, a.k.a. the gun guy, is standing in the workshop of a carefully watched warehouse, with pieces you may have seen at a theatre near you strewn on a table beside him.
He transfers the reading glasses that were hanging off his shirt to his nose, and recites the highlighted passages of a bylaw that, two years ago, banned operations like his in Toronto.
Mr. Taylor doesn't own a gun club, but his company owns plenty of guns. They are all resting on retail-style hooks, behind two steel reinforced vault doors that once protected silver, in a nondescript brick building in the studio district.
This is Movie Armaments Group, which has outfitted film production companies with toys of war, or things that look a lot like them, for any number of blockbusters, from Resident Evil to Academy Award-winning The Hurt Locker.
On the work table today are assault rifles being readied for Steven Spielberg's alien drama Falling Skies.
"We call it everything from muskets to machine guns. Any conflict that you can think of that has ever happened in this world, we have weapons that are appropriate to be used in movies," said Mr. Taylor, a gunsmith who has been repairing and building guns for movies for more than two decades.
He has appealed By-law No. 1151-2008 to the Ontario Municipal Board, along with the Canadian Shooting Sports Association, and on Wednesday scored a victory.
City council approved a proposed draft of revised zoning, which has not yet been made public.
The original wording of the bylaw prohibits new gun clubs, shooting ranges, the manufacturing of firearms and their commercial display. It was championed by Mayor David Miller in 2008 as a way to combat gun crime, but sparked outrage from lawful gun owners and businesses who felt it punished the wrong people.
Mr. Taylor learned about the law after it passed. When he called the city to voice his protest, officials didn't seem to understand how it affected his business. He modifies guns to shoot blanks on movie sets.
"You're legal non-conforming," they told him, which means he can continue to operate at that location. Mr. Taylor believes the city has no business outlawing an operation that is licensed, regulated and inspected by federal and provincial agencies.
"They didn't do enough investigation before they wrote this thing," he said.
"They didn't consult with us, or the industry. The film industry specifically. And here's the Mayor touting the film industry in Toronto," said Mr. Taylor. "My personal opinion, this is somebody's political brainchild who said we have done something that is going to make the city a safer place. But guess what? Know what it accomplishes? Zero."
"What do we have to do with gun crime?" added his business partner, who prefers not to be publicly identified.
Movie Armaments Group isn't open to the public and deals only with film companies or law enforcement it trains.
If you are a military paraphernalia aficionado, this is your candy store. There are rows of army-issued gear on display, and a
"Rubber Gun Room" with pistols that look real until you squeeze them. The historic and modern weaponry on display spans continents and generations.
"We know that the majority of the general public don't like guns," said Mr. Taylor. "A lot of people don't like guns in movies. But this business is required here and we fill that requirement. It is legal, we follow all the rules by the letter of the law."

A World of HurtPosted in: Features, Summer 2010
Can the achievement gap in education be bridged? A look at factors contributing to this seemingly intractable problem.
Can the achievement gap in education be bridged? A look at factors contributing to this seemingly intractable problem.
The rural achievement gap must deal with issues relating to distance as well as poverty.
Peabody alumnus Chris Barbic is reversing trends with his charter school network in Houston, Texas.
Peabody student Jamie Graham and alumnus David Pérez have risen above circumstances to create a better life through education.
A World of Hurt It's a gray winter day at Ross Elementary, an inner-city school in East Nashville that serves a high percentage of children who qualify for the free and reduced-priced lunch program, and pre-K teacher Tish Smedley is overseeing the controlled chaos of her 4-year-old students as they prepare for rest period. A [...]
Substantial investments in Peabody's strategic plan, continuing success in the recruitment of nationally prominent faculty who garner ever-increasing external funding, and growing numbers of stellar students have propelled Peabody to the level described in our vision of 10 years ago.
Innovative developmental cognitive neuroscientist Bruce McCandliss continues his research into educational neuroscience, the study of how a child's brain might influence educational experience and how educational experiences might influence a child's brain.
Peabody's early language development experts focus on teaching methods and curricula as a precursor to pre-K success. More than 45 years ago, Susan Gray conducted the first randomized clinical study with low-income children showing that an enriched environment could lead to gains in children's language mastery. Her findings helped lead to the establishment of Head Start, a national school readiness program.
Peabody alumni may be surprised to learn that the college is using new ways to stay in touch with graduates day today, via Facebook, VUconnect, Twitter and YouTube. How is this tangle of newfangled social networking terms changing the face of alumni communications?
Rodes Hart and Orrin Ingram believe in Vanderbilt. As alumni, trustees, philanthropists and visionaries, they reflect on the opportunities—and challenges—of eliminating need-based loans and increasing scholarship endowment.
At Eakin Elementary School, a Nashville public school a stone's throw from Vanderbilt University, Principal Roxie Ross is putting Positive Behavior Support to work. Since Positive Behavior Support was introduced at the school a few years ago, Ross has seen the school's atmosphere become more positive and more focused on encouraging students.
Sharon Shields, professor of human and organizational development and faculty head of Murray House, reflects on the meaning of community, the importance of text messaging and why she loves living with college students
Peabody researchers tackle real-world problems through collaboration.Affordable housing. Sexually transmitted disease. School violence and bullying. It sounds like a laundry list of some of the toughest problems communities encounter today, issues made even more challenging by an economy in turmoil. All are under assault by Peabody faculty actively engaged in research with direct applications to real-world problems.
In a historic move that strengthens its dedication to accessibility and affordability, Vanderbilt announced last fall that it will eliminate need-based loans from financial aid packages offered to eligible undergraduates. Starting this fall, the amount of need-based loans normally included in undergraduate financial aid awards for new and returning students will be replaced with Vanderbilt grants and scholarships.
The spirit of Peabody is redefining Vanderbilt's study abroad experience—with help from HOD students and faculty who want more than a tourist's itinerary.
The credit crisis and a faltering economy. Rapidly rising energy costs. War. These pressing issues dominate voters' concerns in advance of the November 4 presidential election. With so many raging fires to fight, the nation seems to have less attention to devote to education policy. That does not mean voters do not care about education. In polls that ask them to assess the importance of various issues in their votes for president—as opposed to those more frequent polls that ask respondents to identify only one issue of top concern—education continues to receive high rankings.
One of the things Peabody graduate Amy Cate, BS'03, likes best about teaching is the unpredictability. "It's different every day," she says. "You go in with a plan, but you never know what's going to happen." As a Spanish teacher at J.T. Moore Middle School, a public school in Nashville, Cate often tells her students, "Así es la vida"—"such is life"—presumably in order to help them deal with perennial travails such as homework or quizzes.

Kentucky Supreme Court

|Court information
|Judicial selection
|Non-partisan election of judges
|8 years
|Active justices
Bill Cunningham • Lisabeth Hughes Abramson • Mary Noble • Will Scott • John D. Minton, Jr. • Daniel Venters • Michelle Keller •
The Kentucky Supreme Court is the court of last resort in Kentucky. It is comprised of seven justices: a chief justice and six justices who are chosen by election from the seven appellate districts throughout Kentucky. The justices of the Kentucky Supreme Court issue the final interpretations of the state law in Kentucky. They serve eight-year terms and also establish the "rules of practice and procedure for all Kentucky judges and attorneys."[1]
Seven justices from seven districts create the Kentucky Supreme Court.The current justices of the court are:
|Selected by
|Associate justice Bill Cunningham
|Associate justice Lisabeth Hughes Abramson
|Gov. Ernie Fletcher
|Deputy chief justice Mary Noble
|Associate justice Will Scott
|Chief justice John D. Minton, Jr.
|Gov. Ernie Fletcher
|Associate justice Daniel Venters
|Gov. Steve Beshear
|Associate justice Michelle Keller
|Gov. Steve Beshear
Chief justice
The Chief Justice is elected by the other justices for four-year terms. The Chief Justice serves in an administrative role over the courts. On May 12, 2008, John Minton was elected as the fifth Chief Justice of Kentucky. "I am honored by the vote of my colleagues," said Justice Minton in response to being elected chief justice. "I look forward to working with the members of the Court and the Court of Justice family in service to the citizens of the Commonwealth." "Justice Minton is an outstanding scholar and a person of unquestioned integrity," said former Chief Justice Lambert. "His experience serving as a judge for three levels of Kentucky courts equips him well to be an outstanding chief justice. I am delighted with his election."[2]
Judicial selection
Justices are elected for eight-year terms in non-partisan elections.
For the position of supreme court justice, which is an eight-year staggered term, the candidate must be a citizen of the United States, a resident of both the Commonwealth, and of the district from which he is elected for two years next preceding his taking office and licensed to practice law in the courts of the Commonwealth and a licensed attorney for at least eight years.[3] The candidate must file with the Kentucky Secretary of State's Office and the filing fee is $200.00.
Removal of justices
Judges in Kentucky may be removed in one of two ways:
- First, after a notice and hearing, the judicial conduct commission (dead link) may admonish, reprimand, censure, suspend, retire, or remove a judge. The commission's decisions are subject to review by the Kentucky Supreme Court.
- Second, judges may also be removed through impeachment by the Kentucky House of Representatives after which the judge must then be convicted by a two-thirds vote of the Kentuckty State Senate."[4]
|All appeals involving imprisonment for twenty years or more, life imprisonment, or the death penalty go directly to the Kentucky Supreme Court; all other appeals are heard by the lower courts, and are only permitted to be heard by the supreme court if the Court of Appeals consents.[1]
Please note: These numbers include statewide criminal and civil appeals.

Political outlook
In October 2012, political science professors Adam Bonica and Michael Woodruff of Stanford University attempted to determine the partisan outlook of state supreme court justices in their paper, State Supreme Court Ideology and 'New Style' Judicial Campaigns. A score above 0 indicated a more conservative leaning ideology while scores below 0 were more liberal. The state Supreme Court of Kentucky was given a Campaign finance score (CFscore) which was calculated for judges in October 2012. At that time, Kentucky received a score of 0.17. Based on the justices selected, Kentucky was the 16th most conservative court. The study is based on data from campaign contributions by judges themselves, the partisan leaning of contributors to the judges or, in the absence of elections, the ideology of the appointing body (governor or legislature). This study is not a definitive label of a justice but rather, an academic gauge of various factors.[6]
Notable cases
| • Kentucky Supreme Court rules that guns are allowed on university grounds in vehicles (2012)
|Click for summary→
|Frankfort, Kentucky: The Kentucky Supreme Court has ruled that universities and colleges cannot enforce bans on guns on campus if the gun is stored in a vehicle.[7][8][9] The ruling has drawn fire from many Kentucky universities, seven of which, including the University of Louisville, filed briefs supporting the University of Kentucky.[7] It was the University of Kentucky's firing of a graduate student found to have a firearm in his vehicle that set off the legal battle.[8] Though many institutions of higher learning oppose the ruling, believing it will limit their ability to secure their campuses, the National Rifle Association has praised the ruling.[7] The basis for the ruling were the state laws, which bar, "organizations from prohibiting gun owners from carrying firearms in their vehicles."[7] The University of Kentucky plans to thoroughly evaluate the ruling to determine if there are any further viable legal options.[7]
Financial disclosure
In December 2013, the Center for Public Integrity released a study on disclosure requirements for state supreme court judges. Analysts from the Center reviewed the rules governing financial disclosure in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as personal financial disclosures for the past three years. The study found that 42 states and Washington D.C. received failing grades. Kentucky earned a grade of F in the study. No state received a grade higher than "C". Furthermore, due in part to these lax disclosure standards, the study found 35 instances of questionable gifts, investments overlapping with caseloads and similar potential ethical quandaries. The study also noted 14 cases in which justices participated although they or their spouses held stock in the company involved in the litigation.[10]
History of the court
The Supreme Court of Kentucky was created with a constitutional amendment in 1975, releasing the burden from the role that the Kentucky Court of Appeals had had.[11] The court meets in a courtroom located on the second floor of the Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort. The second floor of the capitol building is also home to offices for the justices and Kentucky Supreme Court personnel.
Notable firsts
- William E. McAnulty, Jr. was the first African-American to serve on the Kentucky Supreme Court. He was appointed by former Governor Ernie Fletcher and served on the court from 2006 until his death in August 2007.[12][13]
- Sara W. Combs was the first woman to serve on the Kentucky Supreme Court when she was appointed to the court by former Governor Brereton Jones in 1993. She was also the first woman to serve as chief justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals from 2004 to 2010.[14]

Any tips for making Gianduja at home? I'm interested in getting something like the dark gianduja that Domori makes.
Views: 897
such as: when to add the hazelnuts, anything different about tempering, molding, etc
Basically just thoroughly mix the melted chocolate with the hazelnut paste. I've seen some makers in Italy refine/conche them together and others just mix. Personally I just mix well with a stick blender.
Here's a shot of our cremini, as you can see the gianduja is nice and smooth. Any roughness visible in this pic is from the cutting.
cheebs - do you caramelise the hazelnuts first and then grind them down for your gianduja?
Lane - a gianduja is usually tempered at a lower temp . . . 27C is what I normally use.
I'm assuming that if I put the hazelnuts through a food processor first the Santha should be able to take it from there. I wouldn't think I'd need to buy paste. Make sense?
It does and that will work perfectly. It only takes a few hours to get the paste super-fine. Remember to de-hull the nuts!
What's the best way to de-hull?
Either a large colander or a wet cloth... Rub the hazelnuts against the screen of the colander or put them in the wet cloth, fold over itself and rub.
Gap... I only roast the hazelnuts... if caramelized I would then be making praliné (which I actually do make by caramelizing, running through the Champion with the blocking plate in and finishing for a half hour or so in the Santha)
Thanks cheebs - that's what I was curious about. When I've "made" a gianduja for chocolate work, I've done so by mixing hazelnut praline paste and chocolate. I was wondering if the grinders could take the nuts/caramelised sugar without any problems, but it sounds like they can if I pre-grind.
Gianduja is one of my favorite topics :) It comes out great from the grinder after a few hours. We did pre-grind in the food processor to make it easier.
The real pain is to quickly de-hull the hazelnuts. The rubbing on a wet cloth method works fine, but there are a few nuts which don't release their hull, it gets really hot and is time consuming.
Any alternatives for a better process? Any equivalent to the small scale winnowers we use for cacao?
The second major issue is sourcing quality hazelnuts consistently and making sure they are not rancid when you buy them. Treat yourself to the 35 part Gianduja series from Dallas Food Org.
To remove the hazelnut skins more easily:
1. In a medium saucepan with high sides, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 3 tablespoons of baking soda to the water – the water will foam up.
2. Add 1 cup hazelnuts to the boiling water and boil for about 3 minutes. The water will turn black – don't be alarmed. While the hazelnuts are boiling, prepare a medium bowl of ice cold water. After three minutes, use a slotted spoon to remove one test nut, placing the nut into the prepared bowl of ice water. Use your fingers to remove the skin, if the skin doesn't come off easily, boil the nuts 1-2 minutes longer and try another test nut.
3. When a test skin rubs right off, add the rest of the nuts to the ice water and peel them with ease.
4. Place peeled nuts into a kitchen towel or paper towels and dry them thoroughly.
5. If desired, toast the peeled and dried hazelnuts at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes - trust me it's so worth it!
Method from Alice Medrich
I forgot to ask, what's a reasonable range of chocolate to nuts? Can I do it without any milk powder or should I do at least a bit?

Since 1976 ABC has given Oscar a home, but after the 1995 show the current contract expires. If the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences really wants to improve its annual backslap, it'll dress Oscar up in 501s and a leather jacket, then take him over to MTV, which puts on the most unpredictable, entertaining awards show of the year The MTV Video Music Awards. To find out what would happen if MTV hip met Oscar hokum head-on, we asked Doug Herzog, the network's senior vice president of programming, how he would stage this year's ceremony.
*Opening Credits: ''As a tribute to Cineplex Odeon, MTV would charge everybody $7 at the door. We'd have popcorn, too a buck-fifty for a small size. Mr. Blackwell would be there giving critiques of what everybody's wearing as they get out of their limos. Then he'd come out later with his 10 best and worst list. The clothes & are the only thing people care about anyway.''
*New Categories: ''I think we'd add some awards: Best Movie to Watch on a Plane, Best Movie to Watch on Video, Most Product Placements in a Film, Best Comeback (we'd give it to John Travolta this year), and Best Movie Without John Goodman.''
*The Music Numbers: ''The Oscar people might have Michelle Pfeiffer sprawled out on a piano singing stuff from The Fabulous Baker Boys. But that strikes us as obvious. We'd have the Baker Boys perform instead. Public Enemy would perform because we thought Do the Right Thing was ignored. I'd put Bette Midler in her old mermaid costume and have her come out of a shell to sing songs from The Little Mermaid.''
*The Presenters: ''We'd definitely have Madonna, because she was the best thing about MTV's show last year. I'd team her with Lauren Bacall is she still around? Bogie would've liked Madonna. Bart Simpson would give out the animation award. I'd pair the dog from Turner and Hooch with the baby from Look Who's Talking, because everybody loves dogs and babies. Rob Lowe would have to do something. He could give out the Best Movie to Watch on Video what else?''

CancerCare provides information, resources and support to help people with cancer manage concerns about recurrence.
Connect Education Workshops™
Listen in by telephone or online as leading experts in oncology provide up-to-date information about cancer-related issues in one-hour workshops. Podcasts are also available.
For Any Cancer Diagnosis
Ask CancerCare
Every month, featured experts answer your questions about coping with cancer including specific answers to questions asked by caregivers.
For Any Cancer Diagnosis
- Take care of yourself by making healthy choices which may include increasing physical activity and adjusting your diet. Engage in activities such as yoga, meditation, or other relaxation techniques.
- Seek out support. Speaking with others in a support group can help relieve anxiety.
- Explore spiritual connections. Read our fact sheet, Strengthening the Spirit.
- Stay active in your follow-up care by asking specific questions.
- What is the likelihood that my cancer may return?
- Are there any steps I can take to keep it from returning?
- How can I know if it's back? Are there things I should I look for?
- What tests will I have that could detect a recurrence? How often should I be tested?
- CancerCare's podcast, Finding Hope and Meaning After Treatment
- The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship's Cancer Survival Toolbox
Q. How can a cancer survivor deal with fear of recurrence?
Many feelings can come up once cancer treatment ends. On the one hand, it is a time of hope and relief, but it can also be a time of fear and anxiety. Fear of recurrence is not at all uncommon for cancer survivors and you are not alone. Take control of the things you are able to. Everyone has their own way of coping, but here are a few practical suggestions:
Questions to ask your doctor about recurrence:
Our publications, Communicating With Your Health Care Team and Doctor Can We Talk?, offer practical suggestions that will prepare you for your doctor appointments.
Other resources include:
Finally, expressing your feelings to a counselor one-on-one in a nurturing environment can be helpful. The process of openly coping with emotions helps many people feel less anxious. You may also join a post-treatment support group to learn how others cope with fear of recurrence.
For Ovarian Cancer
- Get support. Many women find comfort in a support group. Share your feelings and learn how others are coping with challenging and common fears, which can provide you with a community of strength and understanding. You can also speak with a CancerCare oncology social worker about your concerns.
- Take good care of yourself. Get enough sleep and reduce stress. Find things to do that are comforting such as meditation, yoga class, writing in a journal, or spending time with your pet. We all have activities we find soothing and it is important to develop these and do them when you need to.
- Communicate. Share your feelings with the people who are important to you. Let them know how you are, and what they can do to help. Set limits if you need to by deciding what you can commit to and what you can do another day.
Q. I was diagnosed a few years ago with ovarian cancer and have finished my treatment, but now I'm afraid of recurrence. Is this normal?
After a diagnosis of ovarian cancer, a woman can feel vulnerable and experience a lot of uncertainty. The emotional, social and physical experience of having ovarian cancer can be overwhelming and living with this experience often leaves one with a fear of this happening again.
While your fears are typical, at times they many vary. For example, around the time of your check-up, blood tests, or when a milestones or anniversary is approaching you may feel sad, irritable, or anxious. Allowing yourself to acknowledge and accept your feelings is the first step. Developing ways to manage these feelings is extremely important and a way to be kind to yourself. An important act of kindness to yourself is to live in the now and find ways to balance your fear of recurrence with enjoying your life, and the hope for continued wellness.
Ways to manage fear of recurrence:

I've been having a hard time finding them, but as soon as I do they will be worn until they fall apart.
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
I've been having a hard time finding them, but as soon as I do they will be worn until they fall apart.

Pumpkin - Kakai - Cucurbita pepo
Tender Annual Semi-bush. Grow your own pumpkin seeds, with no hulls on them. Kakai is a 5-8 lb medium sized pumpkin and produces 2-3 pumpkins per plant. Orange with green-black stripes and deep ribs, it's a great display pumpkin as well as a seed source. Kakai is an Austrian pumpkin also used for pressing nutrient-rich, green pumpkin oil.
Soil & Water: Pumpkins prefer loam or sandy soil high in organic matter to hold large amounts of moisture. The plants require heavy and even water for best development. Preferred soil pH is between 6.0-7.0.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost Use fiber pots or soil blocks for best results because squash don't like to be transplanted. Or sow seed directly once soils are at least 70°F. Start earlier by using mulch and row covers to warm the soil.
Harvesting & Storage: For immediate use, harvest when the skin loses its sheen. For storage, harvest pumpkins when fully mature. Cut the fruit from the vine, leaving 4"-6" of stem. Cure for storage by setting in a warm, dry location for 1-2 weeks.
Did You Know? Some European studies show that green pumpkin oil pressed from the seed supports prostate health.
Soil Temperature: 70-90°F
Planting Depth: 1/2"-1"
Germination: 7-14 Days
Height At Maturity: 2'-3'
Days to Maturity: 100 Days
Spacing After Thinning: 2'-4'

Allison and Lillia is a 26-episode, 2008 anime adapted from two related Light Novel series by the same author-illustrator team behind Kinos Journey. The series is set on an alternate world of roughly 1930s-era technology, with one big continent split down the middle by a huge river. As a result, two distinct cultures developed in the East and West, neither of which can seem to get along with the other: there have been countless wars in the past, and the west's Allied Kingdoms of Bezel-Iltoa and the east's Roxcheanuk Confederation are technically only in the middle of an armistice, albeit the longest one to date. (It's not as grim as it sounds.) The origination of the war is that both sides believe their ancestors to be the true ancestors to humanity; apparently, neither one has heard of river valley civilizations. By the "World Calendar" shared by both sides, they are in their 3287th year of recorded history.The story revolves around Teen Genius / Ordinary High-School Student Wilhelm "Wil" Schultz and Genki Girl / Ace Pilot Allison Whittington, two orphaned childhood friends who unwittingly stumble onto a tale of a treasure that could end the war. Complicating matters throughout are Allison's growing feelings for Wil, which, despite his perfect memory and keen observation skills, he completely fails to notice. (It doesn't help that she just can't seem to confess due to the plot continually interrupting her.) Over the course of their travels, they first encounter Carr Benedict, an overly-amorous officer of the Sou Beil Air Force, and Fiona, a young woman in a mountain village who harbors a great secret.A straight-up Adventure with Action and Mystery elements, it avoids (for the most part) the frequent Mind Screwery of the aforementioned Kino's Journey. It is also features continuing plots, rather than the standalone, episodic nature of Kino. This is a blessing and a curse, with the upshot that the producers of the anime were faced with the unenviable task of cramming 10 books into a single 26-episode series. The series retains a certain charm that makes it hard to resist, with an opening theme that sets the tone perfectly. (See here.)
Allison and Lillia provides examples of the following tropes:

U.S. containerized imports in April fell 2 percent from a year earlier as slowing economic expansion reduced demand for consumer goods, but economists still project modest volume growth for 2012.
Journal of Commerce Economist Mario O. Moreno, who earlier this year forecast 4.5 percent growth in total containerized imports, now expects growth of 3.5 to 4 percent. In the eastbound trans-Pacific trade, where Asian-made consumer goods dominate, Moreno has lowered his growth forecast to 1.5 to 2 percent from the 2.5 percent he forecast earlier this year.
April import volume totaled 1,372,851 20-foot equivalent units, according to data from PIERS, a sister company of The Journal of Commerce. The decline followed a gain of 7.5 percent in March that was affected by an early Lunar New Year. Year-to-date volume through April was up 1 percent.
Imports from North Asia declined 2 percent from a year earlier to 825,000 TEUs, with shipments from China down 3 percent to 639,146 TEUs, mostly because of declines in footwear, furniture and toys. Imports from Hong Kong fell 11 percent. Shipments from Japan rose 17 percent from April 2011, when volumes were disrupted by the country's earthquake and tsunami.
Imports from North Europe also fell 2 percent, to 133,534 TEUs, with imports from Belgium down 17 percent. Imports from the west coast of South America fell 14 percent to 33,797 TEUs. Shipments from the Caribbean rose 25 percent, while Southeast Asia shipments increased 1 percent.
Declines in April import volumes were recorded in several key categories of consumer goods. Footwear imports were down 20 percent year-over-year; menswear was down 19 percent; women's and infant wear fell 11 percent; and miscellaneous apparel was down 11 percent.
"It appears retailers are keeping inventories of footwear and apparel ultra lean as the economy loses momentum and employers reduce hiring," Moreno said.
The economy's impact also is evident in imports of furniture, which accounts for about 10 percent of total containerized imports. Furniture sales and imports are closely related to the housing market. When people move into a new house or apartment, they often spend to furnish it.
Furniture imports rose 1.8 percent in April and during the year's first four months. Those increases are in line with a housing market still recovering from the bursting of the real estate bubble four years ago.
The Mortgage Bankers Association said 6 million home mortgages, 11.8 percent of the total, were delinquent or in foreclosure at the end of the first quarter. Property data provider and analyst CoreLogic reports 22 percent of all mortgages total more than the property's value.
Housing demand remains sluggish, despite mortgage rates averaging less then 4 percent. Seasonally adjusted sales of existing homes rose to an annual rate of 4.62 million units in April, up 3.4 percent from March but well below the 7.25 million peak in September 2005.
"Softness in the pace of home sales will constrain growth in imports of furniture and other home goods in the months ahead," Moreno said.
Auto parts imports remain a bright spot for containerized imports. Imports of auto parts through U.S. seaports rose 12 percent in April and were up 13.7 percent through the year's first four months, reflecting the auto industry's continuing recovery.
Automakers have led a rebound in U.S. manufacturing. The Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing index posted a 53.5 reading in May, the 34th consecutive monthly reading above 50, the level that indicates expansion.

This dual-sided concealer and acne treatment comes with a clear salicylic acid spot treatment on one end and a stick concealer on the other. The anti-acne treatment claims it can heal acne blemishes, but although it's medicated with anti-acne salicylic acid, the pH is too high for it to be effective. The formula also contains a high amount of alcohol, which makes it too irritating for all skin types (see More Info for why irritation is bad for skin).
The stick concealer end doesn't fare much better, providing only medium coverage that's fleeting and tends to slip into lines, even after it sets to a satin finish. The wide, flat shape of the concealer stick means you'll need to use a brush if you're looking to cover small areas like blemishes, and you can ignore its blemish-healing claims because there's too little salicylic acid in a formula that's this thick for it to have any impact. The three shades are only suitable for light to medium skin.
More Info:
Irritation, whether you see it on the surface of your skin or not, causes inflammation and as a result impairs healing, damages collagen, and depletes the vital substances your skin needs to stay young. For this reason, it is best to eliminate, or minimize as much as possible, your exposure to known skin irritants, especially when there are brilliant formulas available that do not include these types of problematic ingredients (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135 and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22.)
Concealer: Active: Salicylic Acid (0.6%), Other: Dimethicone, Neopentyl Glycol, Diheptanoate, Polyethylene, Silica, Isodecyl Neopentanoate, Phenyl Trimethicone, Boron Nitride, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Ozokerite, Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol Crosspolymer, Trisiloxane, Mushroom Extract, Sacchromyces/Iron Ferment, Sacchromyces/Zinc Ferment, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Hexyl Laurate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Dimethicone, Bis-Isobutyl PPG-20 Crosspolymer, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Alumina, Isosdodecane, Triethyl Citrate, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Methoxy Amodimethicone/Silsesquioxane Copolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-hexanediol; May Contain: Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides
Treatment Gel: Active: Salicylic Acid (1%), Other: Water, Alcohol Denat., Pentylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Glycerin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Saccharomyces/Silicon Ferment, Saccharomyces/ Potassium Ferment, Saccharomyces/ Iron Ferment, Saccharomyces/Copper Ferment, Saccharomyces/Zinc Ferment, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Butylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2 Hexandiol, Green 5, Yellow 5
Long a standby for those with sensitive skin seeking hypoallergenic products (though that term is unregulated and can be applied to any product, regardless of ingredients), Almay continues to refine its comprehensive makeup line. In early 2006 the company repackaged its old favorites, and also relaunched several new makeup items. Everything now has a sleek new look and color-coded packaging. We admit, the makeover is effective, not just product-wise but visually too.
Shopping this drugstore line is now much easier because of the clearly defined product and color family groupings. Lamentably, testers and trial sizes of the makeup are still scarce regardless of where you shop. Almay has always been a reliable line for foundations, powder, and mascara. Within its current lineup you'll find that remains true. Their foundations are better than ever, and still offer full, broad-spectrum sun protection and a mostly neutral palette. We also found their concealers and mascaras have improved, as have the pencil options. When it comes to shopping for makeup staples with state-of-the-art formulas, Almay has many winners, and some innovative surprises that its competitors would be wise to learn from.

Buick Enclave Leather Seats
awdcxl2 Posts: 1I have a 2011 Enclave CXL2 AWD purchased in December. Anyone else notice the driver seat tilting/rocking every time you go from stopped to moving in the forward direction? Very subtle, but definately happening consistently. Has been doing this since the day of delivery. Seat works fine otherwise. I have not been back to dealer yet to have checked.
fred160 Posts: 1Just bought a '11 Enclave- everything worked at the dealer but now the rear buckets headrest does not fold down as we fold the seat. Thing is my wife sees in back better when no passengers and the headrests only are folded down. So far I like the vehicle but this is an issue.
gmcustsvcsarah Posts: 1,964Good evening fred160,
Congratulations on your new Enclave! I checked in the owner's manual for your vehicle and on p. 3-3 it states that the headrests in the 2nd and 3rd row seats are not adjustable. I hope I understood your post correctly, but it looks as though everything may be functioning as designed for the safety of your passenger.
If I have misunderstood, please do let me know!
GM Customer Service
cod Posts: 1I have a 2012 Enclave, purchased not even a month ago. I have noticed dark stains on the driver's side leather seat. I think dark jeans may have bled onto the leather when I was in the rain a couple of weeks ago. I took it to the dealership, they suggested Leather Master may help. The leather is a light color and I'm worried that trying to clean it will make it worse. Does anyone have any suggestions? I did look up Leather Master and there are many different products, so unsure which to try.

@roland1436 said: My passenger leather seat on my 2013 Buick Lacrosse has a dark blue stain which keeps getting worse. It's because of any jeans being wet. It started off as a small stain and keeps getting larger. My seats are heated.
Common problem for all car owners.
Here's a Tip from Turtle Wax on how to treat this problem:

Any other suggestions? Can you double the recipe? It is never enough!

Are grammars for all DNA or RNA of differenent species and individuals the same ?If so,the languages generated by the grammar are the same,or DNA and RNA of differenent species and individuals are just subset or part of the languages generated by the grammar.Then why do we have to use the same grammar to describe different languages or subset of a language?

Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
By grammar I assume you are referring to the genetic code, the correspondence between codons and the amino acids they code for. If so, then the answer is no. While all of the existing codes are very similar, there are various codes around and each has certain codons coding for different amino acids.
For a list of known genetic codes, see here, the changes are usually minor and tend to be alternate START (methionine) codons.

The release today of Toad® for Oracle 11.5 includes several enhancements that surfaced from the Toad Idea Pond, one of the newest and most interactive methods Quest utilizes in collecting user input. The Toad Idea Pond enables users to present their ideas for enhancing Toad directly to the Toad development team. As ideas are submitted, the Toad user community discusses and votes on them, and the best are included in the next release.
Innovations around Toad, the industry's leading tool for database professionals, have incorporated community feedback for more than a decade – a development model that Quest, in fact, credits as one of the key contributors to the product's popularity and success.
Tweet This: When community inspiration floats up from #Toad Idea Pond, @Quest embraces it – introducing Toad for #Oracle 11.5 (Bit.ly)
News Facts:
Quest gives the power of the community back to users, too:
Customer loyalty and the Toad success story go hand-in-hand:
Supporting Quotes:
"Part of being an innovator means listening to your customers, and not just your largest or loudest customers. The Toad Idea Pond gives every one of our users a voice and helps us ensure the most impactful ideas get implemented. All vendors talk about customer input, but we thrive on it. Our unique, community-driven model for product development is good for our customers, and good for Quest, too. "
"I've used Toad for more than 12 years and, before Idea Pond, I was a beta tester. The life of a DBA is busy. We don't always have time to participate in betas or submit formal feature requests. Having an open forum where I can jump in and quickly toss out an idea makes it easy to share my suggestions and see what other users are suggesting, too. I hope to see more Quest products adopt this concept, in fact. When users have a say in how the tool they use for their jobs each day evolves, it's no longer just a tool that works for them – it becomes their tool."
"At its inception, Toad was created by and for the Oracle developer community. It appears that Quest hasn't changed that unique characteristic of the product over the years, and wisely so. To this day, the community that assembled around the product when it was first created continues to have a distinct presence, amassed in every corner of the world. That sense of community and appreciation for learning from others among IT developers is not going away anytime soon. In fact, looking ahead to the newest generation of developers joining the workforce, it's highly plausible that they'll be expecting their tools to be more personalized, more collaborative, and more social-media friendly."
