Why not move the thread titled "Venus" into the Venus zone too? What about the threads like "simply Serena"? :rolleyes: At least make it FAIR. And the reason why the poster "divamonicaseles" complained is because he hates Monica Seles just like you can read in his idiotic signature.

Scion recalls 30,000 tC's
The recall includes models sold between March of 2004 and March of 2006. At this point, only 17 vehicles have suffered from this anomaly.
Per usual, owners of the affected vehicles will be sent a notice in the mail and the cost of the repairs will be covered by Toyota.
The full TSB can be viewed after the jump. Thanks for the tip, Yvo.
[Source: ScionLife.com]
TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 24, 2006 - Scion, from Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., will launch a voluntary Safety Recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) involving approximately 30,000 tC sports coupes from the 2005 and 2006 model year. The affected tC sports coupes were produced from March 2004 to early March 2006. There have been no accidents, deaths or injuries reported related to this condition. The Scion tC is only sold in the U.S. market.
The seat-mounted side airbag and side curtain airbags on certain tCs may inadvertently deploy if the door for that side of the vehicle is closed very forcefully while the tC's ignition is in the "ON" position or within 90 seconds of turning the ignition key from the "ON" position to the "OFF" position. There have been 17 cases of this condition reported.
Scion will mail owners of the involved vehicles a Safety Recall notification via first class mail early next month. Owners are requested to contact their local Scion dealer for replacement of the driver and passenger side airbag sensors upon receiving their notification. Replacement will be done at no charge to the owners of the vehicle.
Customers with questions or concerns should contact the Scion Customer Experience Center at 1-866-707-2466.

The deinstitutionalization of status offenders (DSO) is the first of four Core Requirements (also referred to as "protections") set forth in the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) of 1974, as amended. The Code of Federal Regulations defines a status offender as "a juvenile charged with or adjudicated for conduct that would not, under the law of the jurisdiction in which the offense was committed, be a crime if committed by an adult" (28 C.F.R. 31.304[h]). The five major types of status offenses are truancy, running away, ungovernability/incorrigibility, violating curfew laws, and violating underage liquor laws.
Noncompliance with the DSO requirement (and the other three Core Requirements) carries several consequences. If a State is found to be noncompliant, OJJDP will reduce the State's Formula Grants (Title IIB) allocation by not less than 20 percent for the subsequent fiscal year for each Core Requirement with which the State fails to comply, and the State must agree to spend 50 percent of its allocation for that subsequent year to achieve compliance.
States may have difficulty achieving full compliance for a variety of reasons. For example, State legislation and judicial policies may not comport with the Federal DSO requirement, or States may not have sufficient programs to fully meet the needs of runaways, truants, and other youths who do not merit secure detention (Steinhart, 1996). In addition, identifying evidenced-based strategies that target specific factors contributing to the institutionalization of status offenders has been one of the biggest obstacles to developing initiatives that effectively promote DSO.
OJJDP encourages jurisdictions, whenever appropriate and feasible, to select and implement both direct service strategies (i.e., programs aimed at youth and families that provide prevention or intervention services for particular status offenses) and system change strategies (i.e., efforts designed to alter organizational policies, procedures, rules, and systemwide "ways of doing business" that define how a juvenile justice system operates).

I have been working at Oracle full-time (more than 10 years)
Fast paced, adaptive and learning organization. Tremendous resources for employees, customers and partners. Incredible ecosystem of products. Amazing depth to the management team.
Internal business processes can get very convoluted. Frequent re-orgs can be tiring but it is an adaptive company adjusting based on market conditions.
Pay can be improved and performance based comp i.e., bonus is sub par to rest of IT companies of similar size. Please simplify the internal processes. All the approvals and red tape suck the fun out of working here.
Allowing to work from home is nice and covering the cost of high speed internet would be even better.

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Germany' category.
I've discovered that learning to be a carpenter makes me part of a tribe. The college where I'm learning the basics of carpentry (Try not to cut your finger off, etc) teaches other skills as well, so when we emerge from our workshop pulling sawdust out of our ears, we're suddenly surrounded by people learning interior decoration, housebuilding, car repair, and half a dozen other things, all standing in little tribal groups.
You can tell what everyone is learning because every tribe has a different colour of trousers. The decorators have white, or a base of white at least, with all manner of colours on top, The car mechanics wear blue, the electricians have grey; and the very strange people learning house building favour traditional black corduroy. We all lurk in 'our' part of the campus every day as if someone had marked out territory boundaries with paint.
We don't have this in the UK: probably because people change career much more frequently, and because courses in most trades last a matter of months rather than years. In Germany I'm not permitted to call myself a 'carpenter' until 2015 when I (hopefully) pass the exam and I'm entered on the register of craft persons. The same applies to the people learning to fix cars or paint houses: everyone has to have an apprenticeship lasting a minimum of two years, and the expectation is that they will keep working in their trade for their entire career, and in some cases for the same employer.
Most carpenters here wear khaki, the better for hiding sawdust, except for the occasional rebels and one Brit who failed to appreciate the significance of this and turned up wearing grey.
Not that that's important of course: I certainly did not just order a pair of Khaki trousers because I want it to be obvious that I'm learning to be a carpenter and not an electrician.
I needed a new pair of trousers anyway.
I hope that is understood.
Carpentry school is proving challenging, not least trying to keep up with the instructions. We have eight to nine hour days and we're starting to get research assignments and presentations to prepare. I didn't realise that as well as woodwork we're expected to be competent in technical drawing as well, which is why I spent the afternoon drawing lots and lots of parallel lines without a ruler. I think the idea was to show it can't be done.
The plan was to change from posting on Saturday to writing little posts as and when I could, but I'm still getting used to the routine (and probably too lazy) to get writing most evenings when I come home.
I was going to say that the good side to this is that when you do a carpentry apprenticeship, you can be fairly sure you'll get a decent job, but then today's newspapers were saying that our local car company is announcing things aren't looking too good. In theory it's a good thing if we are producing less oil dependent cars: that will mean a tiny bit less pollution, a tiny reduction in our resource destruction to make flashy cars whose drivers object to my presence on the road, but Stuttgert depends on the car industry and it would be nice if we could avoid economic meltdown until I've at least managed to finish my apprenticeship…
Anyway, I'm still here, don't go anywhere…
Long-suffering readers of this blog will have noticed that I've been trying to get an apprenticeship or other qualification for a couple of years now.
It turns out that working with young people is a great job, but doesn't bring in a vast amount of money. This is because everyone thinks it is a wonderful thing to do, but considerably less people think it's wonderful enough to pay for. We also have some long term goals, and being a carpenter will help us reach these. I'll say more about this another time.
Well, after two years of false starts, next week I'll start an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker/carpenter, having managed to convince a local company that I'm not too much of a liability, and filled in a small bale of forms to persuade the government that no, I'm not attempting to get money for nothing but I would like to eat. The system here is that although I've got an employer, I'll spend most of the first year in college learning the basics.
Assuming I actually manage to pass the intermediate exams in a years time, I'll be working with the company that took me on as an apprentice until 2015. Then I have to pass the final exams, including a German and Maths exam* and then make something out of wood that looks good and doesn't collapse when the judges poke it.
But that's in three years time. This week I need to get my feet used to holding my weight all the time again, and then next week I'll start commuting to college. Which starts at seven fifteen in the morning…
*Guess what my worst school subjects were.
This weekend is likely to be a bit busy as we're off to a friends wedding in Freiburg, which if all goes to plan will involve picking up a car share car at a railway station in the middle of nowhere, driving to the wedding and thence to the reception and back without driving into anything, coming home on Sunday and then catching a train to Rotterdam to meet the ferry to hull on Monday, so I leave you with a small dilemma I discovered this week.
On one of the routes I cycle frequently here, there's a point where the mandatory cycleway I follow alongside a busy road becomes a mandatory footpath, meaning I have to go onto said road or ride illegally. Nothing new there of course, but there's a catch. I have about two hundred metres of this road before turning left (and crossing two lanes of traffic) onto a quieter road. These two hundred metres are on a blind bend, and we all know how aware most drivers are of cyclists on blind bends. There is no way there will ever be a cycleway on this bit of road: even a filter lane into traffic was dismissed out of hand by the town as it 'would be abused by cyclists', presumably by cycling on it…
Where the cycleway ends there's a pedestrian crossing with lights, and I've discovered that if I press the button on the lights and ride onto the road, I can pedal around the corner and be turning off before the first car catches up, saving me the stress of being buzzed or possibly overtaken dangerously closely on the blind bend. Is this adaptive use of poor infrastructure, or abuse of a pedestrian crossing?
(Tales of the UK come next week: I doubt there's W-lan on the ferry so responses to comments may take time…)
The carpentry apprenticeship is starting in six weeks to a month, depending on whether I'm working at my employers from the start of September, or if I get a bit more holiday before the school begins on September the tenth. My contract is with my employer, who enrolled me with the school, (One of these days I'll reduce your will to live by explaining the system) and I'd heard nothing from the school itself, so I wasn't convinced that I was registered at all*, so I was quite pleased to get a letter yesterday morning telling me when to turn up, and enclosing my student ticket, which the transport authority insist on calling the 'Scool' ticket. And before you scoff, consider that 1: this is in another language, yet people get the joke, and 2: At least it isn't named after a mollusc. So there.
I was also a bit suprised to read the small print on the season ticket that arrived yesterday, and dicover that not only is it a combined ticket for the bus and train into the college (integrated ticketing being entirely taken for granted in Germany) but also that after midday it stops being a 'direct route only' ticket and becomes an all zones travel card, on any train, bus, or tram in and around Stuttgart, and it's usable on weekends and holidays; for the next six months, which is all rather pleasant: when I was a student living in the wilds of south-west Britain, I had a begrudgingly issued season ticket which was valid on school days only, for one route between where I lived and the college in the town. I couldn't use the card to go into town after 1300, nor to go home before 1300, which was not helpful when I had one lecture ending at eleven. The ticket was valid on one company's buses, and that company didn't really want to take you either.
Of course there's a flip side to all this generosity, namely that when I was in the UK, the earliest I had to get to college was 0900, and only when I happened to have a lecture, whereas here I've been told to get myself over for the first lesson by 0715, which means getting up and leaving the house at silly O'clock in the morning…
*Being the cheery optimist I am.
Beautiful Wife asked me to get some emergency pizza when I picked Youngest Son up from Kindergarten. No problem, I thought, we can swing past the shop on the way.
Except that Youngest Son likes to cycle home on his bike these days, and the only shop in the village is directly on the main road, which happens to be one of the routes into the Stuttgart/Neckar valley industrial region. There's no way he can ride there with all the cars and trucks and buses rushing into Germany's sixth city, and of course, we can't remove the right to choose your transport mode by say, slowing people down or stopping through traffic: then there would only be three fast roads, and imagine the pain and hardship that would cause.
On top of this a child under seven has to ride on the pavements/sidewalks in Germany. The idea, as I understand it, is to get them used to things like a high curb whenever they have to cross a side road; pedestrians appearing from buildings; and how to jump out-of-the-way* of Very Important Drivers coming out of driveways, opening car doors or just using the pavement as their own private parking space.
In this way children quickly learn that 'cycling' is what you do on a Sunday afternoon, and if you want to go more than twenty metres from the front door, get Mummy or Daddy to drive you there.
I'm being cynical: It's probably just a cheap way to avoid building proper cycle lanes.
Either way, it's surprisingly difficult to ride down a busy road and keep contact with a small person cycling on the other side of parked cars while Mercedes man leans on his horn because I'm delaying him in his Very Important Journey and distracting him from his Very Important Conversation on his mobile phone.
Now I'm sure some people (probably the people leaning on their car horn) would say I should get off the bike and walk along the pavement, thus getting out-of-the-way** of the Very Important Drivers, which would be fine except that because we are ever-so-special tree huggy types we are usually trying to get somewhere on our bikes.
Which makes it even more annoying that having made an extra trip to get the pizza, and riding all over the village to find quieter traffic calmed streets, we still ended up with an SUV behind us revving his engine and generally expressing his annoyance at our presence on the road.
*WordPress is convinced I need these hyphens. Do I? or is WordPress being nannyish?
** See previous footnote.
We (me and the bike) are ready: the bags have finally arrived, and I've (almost) packed everything in them, the paperwork is (almost) sorted, I've had half a dozen holes poked in my arm to immunise me from various ailments, including a couple so obscure the nurse had to read up on the details before she injected me, but that just serves me right for wanting to work in a children's ward; the tickets are here, I have a placement at an ambulance station in Stuttgart when I get back and I've finally got a mobile phone, which has just enough technology in its little grey case that I can call people and send texts: I've embraced mobile technology, albeit from the 1990's. It also has a torch, which I assume is for morse code.
All I have to do is get on a train at silly O'clock on Monday and go off to north Germany for 21 days. Which means I have to deal with the problem at the back of my mind since I applied.*
I am an introvert: quite an extreme introvert in fact, I really don't do new places or people very well. I like people, but I don't like dealing with people I haven't met, in big groups, and in places I've never been before.
I think you can see the problem here.
I'm being stupid of course: this time next week we'll all have got to know each other and I'll be fine, and the other people are probably more nervous because they're all a lot younger than me, so they'll have teenage angst to deal with as well. I just have to get through the first couple of days and then I can relax.
That sounds good, I'll stick with that.
Time to stop whining and get packing, methinks.
The internet connection in the school may be a bit awkward at first, so if the next posts have a feel of having been written some time ago and posted automatically it's because they were. Or rather they will have been.
*Apart from it being a self-catering course and I can't cook: anyone have some very, very simple recipes before I have to live on Salad for a month?
I'm busy getting my last-minute panicking started nice and early, and incidentally doing a few other things, which unfortunately aren't very interesting when written down:
- I've been fixing Bike N + 1, which went fine until the seat post broke: I have no idea how I managed that.
- I spent some time buying a pannier/bag luggage set which when delivered was missing the panniers, so I'm trying to contact the company and see if they'd like to send me the rest of it.
- I filled in paperwork informing the Job Centre I wouldn't be at home, so they sent me more forms, and then had a hissy fit and said I'm showing dangerous levels of initiative and I'll be away longer than paupers are allowed, so they will reduce my unemployment payments while I'm in north Germany. They then demanded a different form which has to be delivered a week after I leave.
- I spent a day applying to thirty different hospitals and ambulance stations trying to get an internship, and several more days being inundated with refusals and worrying that I'll have to go somewhere else for that part of the course which would mean (a) Not being with family, and (b) either losing all my unemployment benefit, or being naughty and not telling the Job Centre.
- I watered the seedlings.
- I ordered the train tickets with seat and bicycle reservations. I can get from here to within 30 kilometres of the school in one day, whereupon I'll stay overnight in a bike-friendly bed and breakfast before riding the last bit.
- I bought a map so I can find my way on that last bit, and a German-English medical dictionary, and then realised I didn't understand half the English words either.
- I'll have to buy a mobile phone for the first time in my life so I've been getting advice, some of which I actually understood.
- I've been dispensing hugs to The Boys, who have been staying noticeably close this week.
- I was (rather suddenly) interviewed and offered a placement in an emergency room at a major children's hospital as long as I don't get in the way too much (I'll have to wear a white uniform. Beautiful Wife finds this hilarious)
- I read the electricity meter.
- I lost some files on the computer, made a mental note to sort it out and forgot about it three minutes later, several times.
- I collected our seed potatoes.
- And a few minutes ago, I was offered an internship at an ambulance station, subject to an interview next week.
So things are happening fast, and I'm about to do something I've wanted to do for a very long time, but the process doesn't make for exciting blogging.
I'm going to the school in Daschow to learn how to be a Rettungsanitäter, or Emergency Medical Technician. I had to think about this a bit as it means committing spend a month away from the family, but I got a lot of encouragement, not least from several readers of this blog, but the deciding factor was that Beautiful Wife felt it was a good idea. As she's the one who will have to look after three highly energetic boys while I'm away, I wasn't about to go and try without her agreement. She reckons that as long as she's known me, I've wanted to jump on passing ambulances to go and help people, so it's about time I actually learned to do it*. I have a fantastic wife.
I'll be off for a month in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, known as Meck-Pom, and about as far as you can get in Germany before falling of the north coast and heading for Sweden. The school is in the least populated area of Germany's least populated state, and the bus service won't exactly be every ten minutes, so one of the items on the very long list of things to do before I go is fixing up Bike N+1 so I can actually get about**. Thankfully, between working in the bike shop and my habit of embarrassing Beautiful Wife by salvaging bits of scrap bikes, this won't be too expensive. A small victory for hoarding.
Hopefully, if I have time and money, I'll be able to race down to see the family for a very short weekend in the middle of the course, then after my first exam I'll be home for two months, sort of, while I spend four weeks in an accident and emergency ward, and then another month in different ambulances. Of course I now have to apply for these placements, which means more paperwork, and I still have to finish the paperwork for the carpentry apprenticeship, -or more accurately, for the finance for the apprenticeship- and visit the carpentry school and discuss how many lessons I'm expected to attend, and file an amendment to my original application (with paperwork to back it up) because I'm now working part time at the bike shop, and then another amendment (with different paperwork) because I'll be away throughout May, and…
We've made a lot of progress in the last week, I'm trying not to forget that in the face of all these forms…
*Helping people that is, I doubt jumping on passing ambulances is part of the training.
** "Think up a better name for it" is another job, I reckon…
Last month I got a contract from the carpenter in the village to start training in September.
I'd have liked to attempt a witty yet profound post about this but to be honest I'm still in shock that they agreed, especially after watching me make the ugliest box in Christendom.
Assuming I manage to get the grants we need to pay for our living expenses, I'll be at school from the beginning of September: the school is only about 20km away, but that's 20 hilly kilometres. This goes up to thirty if I follow the cycleways which wander in random directions across the map and apparently spurn almost any direct route unless it crosses at least seven tightly spaced contours. What with that and the lack of safe cycle parking I'll probably end up travelling by bus and train, but I'm sure I'll get a few good stories out of that.
I've got a year of the carpentry school. With German and Maths exams at the end. And this isn't German as taught in an English school where you can graduate by saying "Where is the newspaper stand?" and "I am fifteen years old" *. My school grade in 'woodwork' was even worse than German, but I still think I'd have done rather better if the teacher hadn't spent most of his time with the prettier female students, and the workshop had included luxuries like saws that were sharp, or wood.
This of course is the 'other' reason I'm doing this: I'm a bit tired of the long shadow of a school which mostly taught me I can't do anything. It's time to prove them wrong, and incidentally do all the things I wanted to do then but was told I couldn't: In three years I'll be a carpenter, with a German qualification, and the ghosts of that school can be firmly laid to rest.**
And when I think about it, I don't think I'd have done it without this blog, and the generally very encouraging comments and emails you've been sending: thanks for coming along on the journey.
Besides, I have a suspicion that nothing the school can throw at me will be half as difficult as the forms I'm trying to fill in for the grants…
*I am not making that up: it was in my final exam. Thankfully one of the few decent teachers I had was my German teacher who is probably the reason I'm here now.

"Watched on: 12/8/2011 Rating: 4.5/10"
"I'm not gonna trick people into seeing this movie by not saying what it's about. So, here it is; this movie is about a girl discovering that her vagina has teeth. She pretty much comes to the realization in one of the worst ways imaginable, but I'll spare the details by saying that people should see this movie. "
" Review by PvtCaboose91 Theatrical Trailer"
"Watched on: PC Date: 25/07/2010 "

"Sometime in January, '10 Watched it about three times, it's pretty awesome if I do say so myself."
"Teeth todella pureutuu asiaansa, muttei ole välttämättä silti kovinkaan suuri elokuvanautinto. Oikealla asenteella katsottuna se tarjoaa tuhdin annoksen mustaa huumoria.

""Uma história aterrorizante de uma moça que possui dentes na vagina, ela não consegue fazer sexo com ninguém e os que tentam ir para a cama com ela ficam em pânico ao perderem pedaços do pênis, precisa falar mais alguma coisa?". "
A unique modern horror film...
""The toothed vagina appears in the mythology of many and diverse cultures all over the world. In these myths, the story is always the same. The hero must do battle with the woman. The toothed creature can break her power."
Teeth is a contemporary low-budget horror movie featuring an unusual twist. Where Hostel, Saw and several other modern horror movies flaunt murders attributed to twisted serial killers, director Mitchell Lichtenstein manages to avoid the genre stereotypes, offering something different and innovative. On the surface it appears to be a horror film based on an ancient legend of the 'Vagina Dentata', but it's also a coming-of-age story and an insightful social commentary on contemporary perspectives of sex.

Fallout 3 Premium Theme Now Available
In case you missed it, the Fallout 3 Premium Theme for Xbox LIVE is now available for purchase on Xbox LIVE for 240 Microsoft Points. The theme was created by two of our artists — Istvan Pely and Clara Struthers.
Around the web
Hope everyone has had a great week. Here's a web roundup with some of the latest news I've come across.
This week we've got a trio of Splash Damage developers answering questions about Brink. Over the last three days, Xbox 360 Achievements has been updating their site with new segments featuring Creative Director Richard Ham. Click the links for interviews one, two, and three. Be on the lookout for the final video tomorrow (I hear it's a doozy).
Richard isn't the only answering questions. Edge has a two-part interview with Senior Game Designer Ed Stern. Head to these links (part 1, part 2). As the intro indicates, you can expect more coverage on Brink in the upcoming issue of Edge – due out on October 27th.
Meanwhile, Hooked Gamers hooked up with Paul Wedgwood for more details on the game. Here's a great answer to one of the questions I hear most often about the game:
Hooked Gamers: It is possible to join any running game, turning a single player game into a multiplayer game. How does this work? How do people find each other when they are already playing? Is it possible to join a running game on either side of the conflict?
Paul Wedgwood: Yes – I'll explain. In Brink you take on a combat role that suits your playing style, and then fight through different environments to complete big objectives as part of a coordinated squad. When you first start playing offline, you'll play alongside an AI squad. When you see a friend come online, you can invite them in (up to seven of them), and they'll join your game, replacing your AI squad mates.
For more on that answer and the remainder of the interview, head here.

Mods highlighted in PC Gamer
The November issue of PC Gamer UK arrived on my desk today, and catching my eye was The PC Gamer 50 Essential Mods list. Three of the 50 mods included were from within our community. Tamriel Rebuilt for Morrowind and Oblivion ranked #4, Mart's Mutant Mod for Fallout 3 ranked #21, and Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul made the list at #29.
In addition to these great mods, in the Top 10 Downloads section, three Oblivion quest mods were included — ed_conn's Windfall, shadeMe's Vector, and kane1045's Haunted House.
Congratulations on getting your mods in print!
Broken Steel now available on PlayStation 3
The day is here. Broken Steel is now available for download on the US PlayStation Store for $9.99.
For those that need a recap, here's the skinny on Broken Steel:
"Continue your existing Fallout 3 game and finish the fight against the Enclave remnants alongside Liberty Prime. Broken Steel moves the level cap for your character from 20 to 30, allowing you to experience even more of the game, including new perks and achievements."
Details on Fallout 3 DLC and Game of the Year Edition
Below are details on Fallout 3 DLC for PlayStation 3, as well as an update on Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition.
PlayStation 3 Downloadable Content
Today we released an update for the PS3 version of Fallout 3 that addresses a number of issues, includes some optimizations, and adds trophy support for the DLC. The first DLC for PS3, Broken Steel, will be available next Thursday, September 24th. That will be followed by the release of "Operation: Anchorage" and "The Pitt" on October 1st, and "Point Lookout" and "Mothership Zeta" on October 8th.
These dates are for English versions of the game. As soon as we have updates for other territories, we'll let you know.
Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition
We are also pleased to announce that Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC) will be available at retail on Tuesday, October 13th. The Game of the Year edition includes Fallout 3 and all five DLCs. The discs will include the title updates you will need to play the DLC — so an online connection is not required.
The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will retail for $59.99 and the Games for Windows version will be available for $49.99.
Fallout 3 Theme for Xbox LIVE
A premium theme for Fallout 3 will be released on Xbox LIVE on Oct. 1 free of charge for all players who have purchased all five Fallout 3 Game Add-ons by September 22. Gamers who have purchased all five Game Add-ons (via DLC, English only), including "Operation: Anchorage," "The Pitt," "Broken Steel," "Point Lookout" and "Mothership Zeta", will receive a token from Microsoft to download the theme for free starting Oct. 1.
This is something we've been asked about a lot and we're happy to finally be able to bring it to fans as a small token of our appreciation. If you haven't purchased all five DLCs, you can still buy the theme for 240 Microsoft Points when it comes out on Oct. 1.
The premium theme was put together by two of our artists — Istvan Pely and Clara Struthers. Also, special thanks to the crew at Microsoft who went through a fair amount of trouble to go through and figure out everyone that had purchased all five DLCs (or will by Sept. 22). We hope you enjoy it.
PAX '09 — Vault Suit Spotting
During my trip at PAX, I made a conscious effort to take a picture of anyone I found wearing a Vault Suit — highlighted by the little one shown above. I also stumbled upon a group of Raiders, but unfortunately I wasn't carrying my camera at the time.

Web Roundup
Having spent most of last week on the road, I wasn't able to spend much time on my laptop — so now I've got a bunch news to share.
WET, is just a week away from release, and there's oodles of coverage to read up on. We'll begin at Major Nelson's blog, where the game's demo had a strong debut on Xbox LIVE — coming in as the #8 most-played game.
At Talking About Games, there's an interview with WET's Creative Director, Patrick Fortier. Here's a quick look:
What sort of research was done to prepare the team to make this game? Was that you guys we saw wall-running between semis on the Los Angeles freeway?
Patrick: There was a long pre-production period to this project. Every element of the game first came to life through concept-art and appropriate research. Obviously old 70's movies really inspired the graphical look of the game, but we also looked at more old school action games in terms of capturing the spirit of gameplay we were looking for.
Mr. Fortier also appeared on last week's GameHounds Podcast and in an interview at Xbox 360 Asylum.

Pulling a tooth out isn't really an amazing experience. You can literally feel a discomfort after pulling out a tooth. You might leave it for the time being but what if pain gets more intense and will not go away easily? This can later lead to dry socket and which is also popularly called as alveolar osteitis. Very less people get the problem of dry socket and it can be seen only after a tooth is extracted. Dry sockets can really be very uneasy but luckily it can be easily treated.
Socket is basically a hole present inside the bone when a tooth is removed. As a tooth is removed, blood clot is formed inside the socket in order to protect the nerves and bone beneath. There are times when the blood clot gets dissolved within a few days after tooth extraction. This will leave the nerve as well as bone exposed to food, fluid, air or any kind of thing which enters the human mouth. This in turn leads to severe infection and causes a lot of pain which can be for a week. Dry sockets can be seen among the people:
- Who often smoke or addicted to smoking
- Who have pulled out their wisdom teeth
- Who use lot of pills
- Who have very poor oral health
Apart from all the above points, there are few other things which can also increase the possibilities of dry socket. Rinsing your mouth often or drinking with the help of a straw or spitting many times once the tooth is extracted can lead to dry socket. Hence you will have to be careful if you have your teeth pulled out. You will have to follow everything properly as prescribed by your dentist. If you don't be cautious, then you will develop dry socket easily.

Any candidate in transition or working professional has most likely bumped into a recruiter at some point. Many executive recruiters often actively headhunt passive job candidates whom are currently employed. And if you are in the process of conducting an active job search, you have probably responded to an advertisement for a job opening placed on a jobs board by a recruiting firm. However, a well-thought-out, effective job search that covers all of the bases intentionally includes…Continue

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so I'm a few days early, but I'm headed on the road this weekend and didn't want to forget, (like I did last year. Ahhh!) so here it is:
Happy Birthday Aislinn!!!!!!!!
Your adventures sound awesome, I can't wait to hear about them in person. :)
Time for some R and R
Loading Map
Visiting Uli and her best and fascinating friend Katherina aside, this has been a great opportunity for me to start trying to digest all the information swimming in (more likely out) of my head from the past 2 1/2 months. I still don't know how well that's working out, but you can always try, right? I have fit in some touristy things though - in Jena Uli and Katherina showed me around the pretty city which is relatively small but spread out through small valleys and surrounded by hills, in what they call the aptly named "Paradies." There is a Stadt museum which currently is hosting an excellent photography exhibit of Sally Mann (VA - she went to Hollins, Mel!) and a weirdish exhibit of Otto Hofmann's...
The three of us also made some side trips, going to Wiemar to hear an author give a presentation (in German... hmmm mayb I should just learn the language, eh?) about his most recent book with a photographer about East Germany in the GDR (German Democratic Republic I think) times. Apparently though this was a time when ignorance of the language worked in my favor, as I blissfully make notes in my journal about other things, Uli was getting nearly bored to tears with his pompous and arrogant attitude about himself. I took a look at the book later (bi-lingual, yes!) and he writes in much the same way, but at least you get an idea of the everyday life in East Germany. Sort of. We also spent a night in Berlin, where I finally got my dance on in a club somewhere around Mitte (I dont' really know I'm just making it up!)
Oh yeah and another day Uli and I drove back to Dresden to check out a Chagall exhibit, and which turned out to be an art gallery sale of his works (€55,000 anyone???) but free to view so heck yeah to that! It also happened to be the beginning of some Dance days kind of festival in town, so we got to see the Palucca School of Dance have some youngsters perform in the mall jazz-team style (better than nothing though, so I'll take it!), and then went to check out the actual school. Palucca was a student of Mary Wigman (one of the early pioneers of modern dance, and who happened to like Dresden so much she stayed), and decided to carry on Wigman's legacy in a way through this dance school. Anyhow, they gave us free rein to a self-guided tour through their sweet seriously $$$$$ new facilities which are pretty freaking awesome. The offer some graduate programs where oh yeah, you get to work with choreographers like, oh I don't know, William Forsythe anyone???? Ok well I'm impressed....but that was fun.
Now Uli is moving to a new apartment, so I've taken over one of her rooms to dance my little heart out while she cleans (ok it was one day), and now she is allowing me the normalcy of the everyday life by letting me help her move boxes, scrub baseboards, clean carpets.... it's great!!!! (mom don't get any ideas....) So I think for various reasons I will be hanging out here in Jena for a few more days at least, and then on to the next place....
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ost Deuschland
Sounds like you are having fun in the East, I will be there soon!!! Just the North East...with beaches!!!
Enjoy Yourself!
Encased in a full-body cast, laying in a hospital bed in France, Ed reviews how he spent his birthday.
He jetted to Europe, ran with the bulls in Spain, played golf in Scotland, skied the Swiss Alps, and partied in France, where he got totally drunk and fell off the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Moral: Have fun on your birthday but don't get plastered in Paris.
The Wilfongs
So east germany huh!??? that's awesome! I have a good friend who is moving to rahstock (sp??) in a about a week! it is somewhere there in e. Germ.! I hope to visit her maybe during xmas or so????? Xmas in germany, can't get much better than that i would say!! So you saw some artwork from a Hollins chic huh? that's cool, small world!!!! Thanks for the shot out!!! hahaha! Happy Bday, sorry it's a tiny bit late! (it was yesterday right???) Love ye and miss ye!!

Chained CPI: Obama's small step
The answer is that the right has tried for years to have the federal government use chained CPI when calculating the annual benefit increases for Social Security, and earlier this year President Obama hinted that he might be open to the idea. The activist left must have felt incredibly disappointed this week when Obama released his 2014 budget and it applied chained CPI to Social Security benefit increases.
This was Obama's big concession to Republicans on entitlements. Chained CPI will slow the automatic rate of growth of Social Security benefits by about 0.2 to 0.3 percentage points. That's it. For that, Obama wants a bunch of new tax increases and to take most other entitlement reforms off the table.
That is hardly a deal fiscally responsible members of Congress - of either party - can take. But the Obama concession on chained CPI is good news still. It is an acknowledgment from the President that the growth of entitlements, including Social Security, is a serious financial problem. It is a small step toward recognizing our fiscal reality.

September 21, 2005
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee, I am Craig Manson, Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks at the U.S. Department of the Interior. Thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today regarding H.R. 3824, the "Threatened and Endangered Species Recovery Act of 2005."
At the outset, let me note that because the bill was introduced just days ago, on Monday, September 19, we have not had sufficient time to fully analyze the legislation or to develop a formal Administration position on the bill. After we have had more time to review the bill, we would be happy to more fully discuss its provisions with the Committee. Given this, I plan today to provide some general observations on the Endangered Species Act and the Department's role in implementation, and then offer some preliminary comments on the Threatened and Endangered Species Recovery Act.
Generally, we support provisions of the bill that better enable the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to set priorities, provide stability for landowners and encouragement of private stewardship, and focus, over the long term, on the recovery of species. We also recognize the importance of decisions informed by scientific standards that are transparent and generated by generally accepted scientific practices.
Under the law, species may be listed as "endangered" or "threatened." All species of plants and animals, except pest insects, are eligible for listing if they meet the criteria specified in the Act and, once listed, the species is afforded a range of protections available under the Act, including prohibitions on killing, harming, or otherwise taking listed species of animals. In addition, federal agencies are to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of endangered or threatened species, and must insure that any action authorized, funded, or carried out by the federal agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any listed species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of a listed species' critical habitat, which is designated pursuant to the Act.
Currently, there are 1,268 listed domestic species (993 endangered and 275 threatened). Of these, 286 are candidate species being reviewed on an annual basis. The Service has determined that these candidate species warrant listing, but listing proposals are precluded by higher priorities. In addition, the Service currently has published proposed rules to list 16 species as either endangered or threatened. The Service has 58 pending petitions to list a total of 76 species as either endangered or threatened. Of these petitions, the Service has published 11 findings that the petitioned action to list the subject species may be warranted, and has initiated a status review for the involved species.
The Department has made great strides in improving administration of the Act. For example, under the banner of the Department's Cooperative Conservation Initiative, we have a host of grant programs that promote partnerships with states, landowners, and other citizen stewards to protect and enhance habitat for threatened and endangered species. These and related grant programs also help maintain, protect, and restore habitat in ways that help prevent the need to list species as endangered or threatened. The Service has worked to improve our recovery program, including the establishment of a process whereby high priority recovery needs of species can better be allocated and addressed by Service Regions, and the development of a new recovery implementation database for better tracking of recovery actions. We have also implemented streamlined section 7 consultation processes for several kinds of activities, such as hazardous fuels treatment projects, habitat restoration, and recreational activities in the Pacific Northwest, cutting completion time for consultations under the program by one-third.
The Service has also worked with the National Marine Fisheries Service to develop an analytical framework for use in consultations and the preparation of Biological Opinions. This framework makes the process more transparent, objective, and reproducible, and yields more consistent and legally defensible conclusions.
We recognize that successful protection of many fish and wildlife species depends significantly on cooperation of private landowners who manage the vast majority of habitat. The Department developed our Cooperative Conservation Initiative programs, among others, to enhance successful implementation of the Act by working with landowners. The Service looks for opportunities to partner with private landowners.
The President's budget emphasizes investments that work through partnerships to help improve habitat and recover populations of at-risk, threatened, and endangered species. Building on Secretary Norton's vision of cooperative conservation, in 2002, the Department launched two new conservation initiatives: the Landowner Incentive Program and the Private Stewardship Grants Program (referred to collectively as the Species Protection Partnership Program). Both programs offer incentives for private landowners to protect imperiled species and restore habitat, while engaging in traditional land management practices like farming or ranching. Nationally, the Landowner Incentive Program offers a positive, non-regulatory opportunity for landowners and Tribes to protect at-risk and endangered species, most of which depend upon private land for habitat. Together, the Landowner Incentive Program and Private Stewardship grants reflect a cooperative way of doing business — working in partnership with landowners. The response from landowners is overwhelmingly positive. In addition, other tools such as the Cooperative Endangered Species Grants (section 6) and funds provided for habitat conservation planning assistance and related land acquisition also support cooperation.
Unfortunately under the Act, our work related to endangered species has been in large part driven by lawsuits. As of September 8, 2005, the Service is involved in 34 active lawsuits on listing issues with respect to 93 species; including 8 lawsuits on 90-day petition findings for 11 species, 8 lawsuits on 12-month petition findings for 11 species, 11 lawsuits regarding final determinations for 22 species, 11 lawsuits regarding critical habitat for 13 species, and 22 lawsuits regarding merits challenges on 65 species. The Service is also complying with court orders for 51 lawsuits involving 103 species.
For many years now, the Department has noted that the one area of implementation that continues to be a challenge and a source of controversy is the designation of critical habitat. The Service has been embroiled in a relentless cycle of litigation over its implementation of the listing and critical habitat provisions of the Act for over a decade. This has resulted in a Section 4 program with serious problems due not to agency inertia or neglect, but to a lack of scientific or management discretion to focus available resources on the listing actions that provide the greatest benefit to those species in utmost need of protection. In FY 2004, the Service proposed critical habitat for 12 species and completed critical habitat designations for 25 species. Currently, the Service is working on 31 critical habitat proposals for 51 species. All of the FY 2004 and FY 2005 proposed and final designations were the result of court orders or settlement agreements.
Protection of habitat is the key to sustaining and recovering endangered species. However, the critical habitat process under the Act is not an effective means of conserving habitat; the Service has characterized the designation of critical habitat as the most costly and least effective class of regulatory actions it undertakes. In 30 years of implementing the Act, the Service has found that the designation of critical habitat provides little additional protection and can result in negative public sentiment, and also because there is often a misconception among the public that, if an area is outside of the designated critical habitat, it is of no value to the species. At the same time, the designation of critical habitat imposes burdensome requirements on federal agencies and landowners and can create significant economic and social turmoil.
We have been inundated with lawsuits for our failure to designate critical habitat, and we face a growing number of lawsuits challenging critical habitat determinations once they are made. Almost universally, the courts have declined to grant relief. Consequently, as the result of court orders and court-approved settlement agreements, the Service has little ability to prioritize its activities to direct resources to listing program actions that would provide the greatest conservation benefit to those species in need of attention. As noted by the previous Administration, lawsuits that force the Service to designate critical habitat necessitate the diversion of scarce federal resources from imperiled but unlisted species that do not yet benefit from the protections of the Act.
The Service is not operating under a rational system that allows them to prioritize resources to address the most significant biological needs and, as a direct result of litigation, the Service has had to request a critical habitat listing subcap in its appropriations request the last several fiscal years in order to protect funding for other Endangered Species Act programs. At this point, compliance with existing court orders and court-approved settlement agreements will likely require funding into fiscal year 2008.
Preliminary Comments on the Legislation
Section 3: Definitional Changes
Section 5: Repeal of Critical Habitat
Section 10: Recovery Plan Provisions
Most importantly, section 10 would elevate the importance of recovery planning by requiring that final recovery plans for listed species be published within 2 years after the date a species is listed, and, for species listed on the date of enactment but without a recovery plan, would require the Secretary to develop a priority ranking system for preparing and revising recovery plans, along with a schedule for development or revision of plans. These changes should advance the recovery planning process and ensure that recovery remain a primary purpose of the Act.
There are provisions in the bill that, even with the small amount of time we have had to study the bill, concern us. Several of these concerns are detailed below.
Section 10: Species Conservation Contract Agreements
We have concerns about the lack of flexibility under these provisions as well as the cost of implementing them.
Section 13: Exceptions to Prohibitions
We recognize the importance of stability and certainty for landowners, and the need to create incentives to encourage landowners to protect species habitat. However, we have concerns with this section. We believe it could add significant additional process to our implementation of the Act. In addition, in many cases the 90 day deadline may not be adequate time to complete such a determination. Finally, while the Secretary may request an extension, it is not at all clear that an extension would be granted and, for those requests that result in "deemed decisions" that the use does not comply, the Secretary would be required to pay compensation under the provisions of Section 14 of H.R. 3824.
Section 14: Private Property Conservation
As noted above, we recognize that successful protection of many fish and wildlife species depends significantly on cooperation of private landowners who manage the vast majority of habitat. The Department's Cooperative Conservation Initiative and other programs are specifically designed to provide opportunities to partner with private landowners. In fact, we believe that if participation in these programs was taken to its logical zenith, they could eliminate the problem the Committee is seeking to address.
We have concerns about the lack of flexibility under section 14 as well as the cost of implementing it. We are also concerned that the determination of fair market value lies with two interested parties – either the Secretary or the property owner. Finally, it is unclear from the language of the bill what, if any, property interest the United States is acquiring from the property owner after payment of fair market value. We are willing to work with the Committee to explore other ways to lessen potential burdens of the Act on private landowners.

Normally, when you find plastic bags full of waste with green stuff growing inside, you don't open them up hoping that something good will come out. NASA, though, is trying to be a bit more optimistic, and the agency thinks that it can float a bunch algae bags out in disused bays, pump in waste water and pump out jet fuel. Good luck with that.

"I came up with recipe myself when looking for a special sweet treat this weekend. It is very easy to prepare and also quite low in sugar, which makes it a little less sinful. I hope you will enjoy these as much as I do. If you cant find sesame-caramel bars, you might substitute some honey plus sesame seeds for them."

"Delicious! And so easy to make, I made them in the morning - on a work morning! DH loved them so much that he said "I'm not saying you have to make scones every morning, but boy, it would be nice - I really enjoyed that scone with my coffee!" Now, DH's usual comment is "good" when I ask him how a recipe is... that he said so much about this recipe says how good they are. :) I really enjoyed the Sesame Snaps in them, too (that's what they're called in Canada). Delish, Loula - I'll make these again for sure! Made for our VIP Chef in Veggie Swap 16!"
"I'm one of those who can't find the 'sesame-caramel bars' so did use a dark & flavorful honey along with a tablesoon of sesame seeds (really enjoy using those GENEROUS amounts!) ~ These scones are REALLY, REALLY TASTY & we enjoyed them with a very nice orange-flavored honey butter! Thanks for a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for my chosen chef in this month's Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 12]"

Tonsillitis - What is tonsillitis?
Tonsillitis can make you very ill and keep you in bed for a few days with a high temperature and a severe sore throat. It will get better, but if you or your child gets repeated bouts of tonsillitis, an operation to take out the tonsils may be needed.
We've brought together the best research about tonsillitis and weighed up the evidence about how to treat it. You can use our information to talk to your doctor and decide which treatments are best for you.
Tonsillitis is an infection in your tonsils. Your tonsils are two small, almond-shaped mounds that sit on either side of the back of your throat. If they get infected with a virus or bacteria, it can make you ill. You might need to take a few days off school or work.
Your tonsils are part of your body's immune system. Your immune system fights infections and helps you stay healthy. Your tonsils help protect the rest of your body from bacteria and viruses that get into your mouth. But sometimes, viruses or bacteria attack the tonsils themselves. This can make them swollen and inflamed. This is when you get the painful symptoms of tonsillitis.
You may also get the infection in other parts of your throat.
Lots of different bacteria and viruses can cause tonsillitis. You can pick them up easily from other people who are ill. For example, you might breathe in droplets in the air that contain viruses or bacteria.
The bacteria that most commonly cause tonsillitis are called
You won't be able to tell what's caused your tonsillitis. The symptoms are the same whether it's caused by bacteria or a virus.[2]
If you have one attack of tonsillitis, doctors call it acute tonsillitis. But if you get tonsillitis a lot, your doctor may say you have recurrent tonsillitis. This is a severe form of tonsillitis. It usually means you have five or more episodes a year and your symptoms are bad enough to stop you doing your normal activities.[2]
Tonsillitis affects children more often than adults.[3] Girls may get recurrent tonsillitis more than boys.[4]
Bacteria are tiny organisms. There are lots of different types. Some are harmful and can cause disease. But some bacteria live in your body without causing any harm.
immune system
Your immune system is made up of the parts of your body that fight infection. When bacteria or viruses get into your body, it's your immune system that kills them. Antibodies and white blood cells are part of your immune system. They travel in your blood and attack bacteria, viruses and other things that could damage your body.
Inflammation is when your skin or some other part of your body becomes red, swollen, hot, and sore. Inflammation happens because your body is trying to protect you from germs, from something that's in your body and could harm you (like a splinter) or from things that cause allergies (these things are called allergens). Inflammation is one of the ways in which your body heals an infection or an injury.
Viruses are microbes (tiny organisms) that need the cells of humans or other animals to exist. They use the machinery of cells to reproduce. Then they spread to other cells in the body.
