Sharing the emotions of others
A key element of human compassion is the sensitivity to other people's emotions. In the book "The Empathic Brain", I tell the story of how our lab and a handful of colleagues discovered that our brain is deeply empathic. Using functional magnetic brain imaging, we were able to show that when you see someone experiencing an emotion, be it disgust, pain or pleasure, brain regions become active that are normally active when you feel these same emotions. This indicates that witnessing what others feel does not simply make you realize abstractly what they feel, but that your brain is actually wired to let you feel what they feel. The joys and sorrows of others become our own. Your fate and the fate of those people around you are actually deeply connected by the invisible threads of empathy. People that are more empathic show more of these vicarious activations; psychopathic criminal show less of this activity.

Thomas A. Chandler was born in the Cherokee Nation, July 1871, the eldest son of B. G. Chandler, a Tennessean, and Anne Gunter, a Cherokee by blood. Thomas attended the public schools at Hicho, Arkansas, and Delaware district, Cherokee Nation, after which he entered Worcester Academy, Vinita, and there graduated in 1888, having taken a scientific course. Later he entered Drury College, Sprinfield, Missouri, and remaining half a year, went to Muskogee, Creek Nation, where he opened a grocery business, conducting the same with success for one year and a half, when he sold out October, 1891. On the thirteenth of the month following, Mr. Chandler was nominated by Chief Mayes, and confirmed by the senate, for the office of district revenue collector, for Delaware district, a position of trust, such as is rarely bestowed on so young a man, but which Mr. Chandler is quite capable of filling. He is clever and industrious, with pleasant manners and good address. During the recent political campaign, Mr. Chandler devoted his best energy towards the success of the Downing party, to which he is a close adherent. His father is a farmer, residing in the Delaware district.

I'm looking for some advice... I brewed an all-grain lager that is ready for bottling this weekend. It was in primary for 2 weeks and lagered for 4 weeks at 36 F. I'm priming with gyle and I'm trying to decide if it would it be best to add yeast for priming or would this likely be OK without adding yeast? In case it would be safer to add yeast, can I use the yeast I collected from the primary (4 weeks ago) and stored in a sanitized jar in my refrigerator (WLP830)? If so, do I need to make a starter or can I just add the yeast slurry (and how much) after bringing it up to priming temp?
No need to repitch, will be enough yeast for priming. Always had to allow plenty of time to condition for lagers.
That sounds good, I didn't want to mess with it anyway. I'm going to sort of hi-jack my own thread and ask another question about re-using yeast. I'd like to re-use this yeast for another lager. It will have been in the refrigerator for 5 weeks after harvesting from primary when I'd like to use it. However, I didn't "wash" it. I just swirled up the trub from the primary and poured it into a sanitized jar and put it in the refrigerator. It looks good though... it has three layers and the bottom layer is white and is the thickest layer. Can I just pitch this? Do I just use the bottom layer and decant off the rest? If so, do I need to make a starter from it? Once again, thanks... this board is the best on the net IMHO.
This is what Wyeast posts on their site:
Sanitize the opening of the carboy.
Pour the water from one of the quart jars into the carboy. Swirl to agitate the yeast, hop residual, and trub from the bottom.
Pour carboy contents back into the empty jar and replace the cover.
Agitate the jar to allow separation of the components. Continue to agitate periodically until obvious separation is noticeable.
While the viable yeast remains in suspension, pour off this portion, into the second jar, being careful to leave as much of the hops and trub behind as possible.
Agitate the second container to again get as much separation of yeast from particulate as possible. Allow contents to rest, then pour off any excess water from the surface.
Pour off yeast fraction, which suspends above the particulate into the third container. Store this container up to 1 month refrigerated. Pour off liquid and add wort, 2 days before brewing or repitch into a new brew straight away.

Hilary Duff was recently spotted (looking pretty amazing) on the set of her forthcoming TV series Younger, carrying a beautiful metallic Chanel Boy Bag from her own collection. Younger is a "working mom in the city"-style sitcom that will make its debut on the TV Land channel in early 2015.
Archives for: #hilary duff
Here's Hilary Duff, leaving a fitness studio in West Hollywood, carrying a Louis Vuitton Speedy Empreinte 25 Bandoulière Bag and a Goyard St. Louis Tote. Strangely enough, we've seen Hilary carry both of these bags before, which is a definite first/sign of the end times.
Ok, so maybe this is not the most pressing breaking news ever, but we follow Hilary's bag collection pretty closely and immediately knew that this Chanel bag was a brand new addition to her collection. Here's handbag collector supreme Hilary Duff, walking down the middle of the street in West Hollywood, wearing overalls and carrying a new, cherry red Chanel Boy Bag.
Here's an enthusiastic Hilary Duff, hopping into a Porsche with her Chanel Boy Bag after running a few errands in West Hollywood. We saw Hilary carrying this same bag at Coachella last month. (Top places I would not take my Chanel bag: 1.
Coachella is a unique event. Not only is it the only rich-hippie desert concert weekend that I know of, but it's a rare opportunity to spot celebrities mingling among mere mortals with relatively little security or separation. That also means it's an opportunity for handbag-spotting, and although some celebs opt to leave their expensive accessories at home, plenty of others carry whatever handbags they'd use to go out to dinner back in Beverly Hills.
Without a doubt, one of the things I was most surprised by in 2013 was how much you guys loved The Many Bags of Hilary Duff – it was one of our most popular posts of the year! I was a little bit too old for Lizzie MacGuire, so I never developed much of a love for the Duffster, but I'm clearly in the minority.

Nanometrics' CEO Hosts Analyst Day (Transcript)
So, the other area that we're going to talk a little about in more detail today is wafer scale packaging. We've talked, in 2009 we acquired a product line from Zygo. We call the UniFire played a key role in this area and we're try to help give a little more clarity as to where we fit into our packaging. We're not so much in a traditional packaging flip chips and putting things on to PC boards.
But really when they are packaging the devices either on the, what they called interposer, which is the piece of silicon, where they put two chips side by side still using small micro interconnects, which is shown here an image of one of them or they stack in the devices, one on top of the next. And then in this case we're looking at through silicon VS. Again we've got more slides and some more in content that we will be sharing later today.
All in all, it's a very, it's all amazing technology it's an inevitable technology it's being driven by, as we said, form factor performance and battery consumption and so the materials and equipment industries that are positioned in this area are benefiting from these transitions. And we have a couple of products to address in this area.
So we talk about, the next step is the entering new markets through R&D investments and strategic acquisition. So the first one is to remind everybody that we continue to invest on our product line, we consistently introduced next generation products across our entire area, whether it's our flagship product the Atlas OCD, where we just introduced the Atlas II in the fourth quarter of last year.Our software or that we call the NanoCD suite and we continuously improve it, that's used for the modeling, that's used for the analysis and control, there is going to be a more day, we'll be sharing on that today.

Sailor Moon: Another Story is an RPG based mostly on the first Sailor Moon anime, (with some manga elements) taking place after the S season. The girls' enemies are the Oppositio Senshi, a team of Evil Knockoff psycho rangers, who are led by the mysterious Apsu. Apsu and the Oppositio Senshi are futzing around with time, resurrecting previous enemies of Sailor Moon. Well, we obviously can't let them get away with that, now can we?

Best Uses
We used these for my daughter's first birthday. They looked great but were big for the Ice Mountain brand of water bottles. Would have fit perfectly on Dasani or Aquafina though.
Overall, we were really pleased with the product and received many compliments on the finished product.
Best Uses
What can I say except I loved them! They were easy to use and fit the bottle perfectly (I did use 16.9 ounce bottles). I liked the fact that they did stick very well.
Best Uses
Big Hit and Family Holiday Party
Best Uses
Our son asked Santa to bring him a potion that would help make him a good boy. It is great that we could personalize the labels just for him. He is going to love it!
Best Uses
These were easy to use and held up well even when submerged in water/ice for some time. The only caveat is to make sure the bottles you use are the right shape as the labels are wider than those on many water bottles. They were also shipped promptly, before the estimated time.

[*******DarkOrange][SIZE=4]UN troops bring a taste of India to a lawless DR Congo
[/SIZE][/COLOR]By Paul Moss
BBC News, Congo
In Africa's most lawless country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, UN troops face both appalling violence and also intense criticism for their failures, but for the Indian peacekeepers there is still time to enjoy a few of life's simple pleasures.
The officer was genuinely upset.
It was the senseless waste that seemed to distress him.
He was Punjabi, a military man from a military family, and he had served in conflicts from Kashmir to the Chinese border.
Now he was a UN peacekeeper in Congo.
But even with this extensive experience of human behaviour, he had seen something here that defied all understanding.
"It's the mangoes," he said. "They grow everywhere. They are good ones too. And you know what?"
He sighed deeply, almost unable to articulate this outrage against all reason.
"The local Congolese people here - they do not even know how to make mango chutney."
I could have laughed. Or I could, perhaps, have been annoyed at his odd sense of priority.
Here in North Kivu Province, you cannot count the number of war casualties - you cannot even count the number of wars.
They range from a major confrontation with international dimensions, right down to little micro-battles, and with all sizes and shapes of conflict on the spectrum in between.
As one Congolese journalist said to me - almost proudly - here, every hillside has its army.
Culinary delights
It is into this maelstrom that the troops from India have been sent, as part of the United Nations peacekeeping mission.
But their mandate here is not just about preventing war.
"We want to set up social projects to develop the area," another Indian officer told me. "If people have jobs, they are less likely to fight."
He showed me the village hall they are helping to build near the town of Kiwanja. And there are plans also for a school to teach car maintenance.
But then, yes, he was an Indian, and his thoughts had turned to culinary possibilities. And that meant showing the villagers how to make mango chutney - they could sell the chutney or at least learn how preserving fruit makes it keep, a useful skill where refrigeration is scarce.
But in the temporary absence of this crucial condiment, the troops were not going short of decent food.
Much to my amazement, at their base they had built an impressive officers' mess and rustled up a dazzling selection of curries, side-dishes and fried rotis.
Once upon a time, British officers serving in the Raj would go to great lengths to recreate familiar home comforts.
Now these soldiers were echoing their former colonials rulers - making sure there was a corner of an African field that was forever India.
They had even had India's Kingfisher beer flown in and served it up in rather elegant pint glasses with spicy snacks on the side.
I soon saw why they needed these comforts.
Danger zone
One morning we set off on foot patrol - about a dozen of us, all wearing bullet-proof jackets that weighed heavily in the damp equatorial heat.
We were trekking into a remote area of farmland where the owners are often too scared to tend their fields.
Every time one of the myriad armed factions here decides to take on another or to pillage a local community, the Indian troops are expected to throw themselves in the middle.
As we tramped through the wet, knee-high vegetation, I asked one soldier where he came from. It turned out he came from a small town in the North Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
Another grew up in Kerala.
None had been abroad before - and some would not even have left their home state until army life required it.
Now here they were, on patrol in a distant country that I would guess some could not have found on a map.
But the UN mission in Congo is not going according to plan.
Only last July, one rebel group raped more than 200 women in a single attack.
It turned out there was a UN peacekeeping base just 20 miles (30km) away, yet no troops showed up until several days after.
It was, the UN admitted, a terrible failure.
'No target'
I raised this subject with the soldiers on my patrol. It seemed they had been handed a mission in which failures were clear but success was harder to define.
There was no target destination to conquer nor invaders to expel.
So what, I asked them, would count as victory?
As if on cue, a group of children from a nearby village came past all laughing and giving the Indians a thumbs-up sign.
"A little happiness on the face of a single villager," the platoon commander said, "that's a kind of victory."
And he did not offer anything more substantial than that.
It was odd to find this attitude, almost like Gandhi in its simplicity, from a man carrying an automatic weapon.
But, the children were laughing. And in the midst of this war zone, I, too, felt a little safer to have the blue-helmeted soldiers alongside me.
I thought of the Kingfisher beer waiting back at base and we carried on walking.

[SIZE=5]Science & spirituality: GTRE Director chants Gayatri Mantra during Kaveri's maiden flight![/SIZE]
Photos: Copyright@Tarmak007[/FONT] [/FONT][/COLOR]
http://tarmak007.blogspot.com/[*******black]Scientists are superstitious. Especially when the going gets tough, you need all the luck under the Sun to hit the Bulls Eye. This piece brings to you some dressing room stories, when DRDOs Kaveri engine spat fire creating history in Russia.[/COLOR]
[*******black] Kaveri fitted on to IL-76 the modified [/COLOR]Flying Test Bed (FTB) had its successful maiden flight at [*******black]Gromov Flight Research Institute ([/COLOR]GFRI) [*******black]on November 3, 2010[/COLOR]. For over a decade or so, GTRE scientists faced a lot of criticism from the government agencies, Services, defense watchdogs, media and self-styled engine experts, for not delivering what was promised.
The Kaveri engine thus became a joke and GRTE soon became a forgotten lab. And, Indias super-pride plane program LCA too moved ahead with a paradesi heart. Yes, we had to face many challenges. While the world was laughing at us, we were putting that extra mile to make the engine fly. We admit the delays, but its unfair to forget our struggle and not to recognize our achievement, says Mohan Rao, Director, GTRE.
At the just-concluded Aviation Conclave 2010 in Hyderabad DRDO Chief Dr V.K. Saraswat said that DRDO branding will happen only with excellence. And, he ensured to pat Mohan and his boys at every opportunity he got during the conclave. While history was created, Mohan was tensed and was in the company of his colleagues waiting anxiously at GFRI.
This was the moment of my life. I prayed to God. I have done everything. My team has done. Now, the flight is about to take-off. I chanted the Gayatri Mantra. I was continuously chanting the mantra. I shouted Take-off, take-off The Russian friends screamed Athleshna (excellent), Mohan Rao, said.
Many mails came to Tarmak007 asking why the DRDO failed to celebrate Kaveris maiden flight, the way it ought to have. A point there, considering what the DRDO and GTRE had to undergo over Kaveri.One definitely needs to salute the spirit of GTRE scientists, who toiled hard to make Kaveri fly.
May be, the need of the hour is more Gayatri mantras for the road ahead!

For those who may have missed it, the great Fr. Greg Boyle (shown above) is about to become the first religious figure inducted in the California Hall of Fame — alongside such luminaries as The Beach Boys, Buzz Aldrin and Magic Johnson.
On top of that, Fr. Greg is also a finalist for the Opus Prize:
The Opus Prize is given annually to recognize unsung heroes of any faith tradition, anywhere in the world. This $1 million faith-based humanitarian award and two $100,000 awards are collectively one of the world's largest faith-based, humanitarian awards for social innovation. Father Greg is one of the two $100,000 Opus Prize finalists, the other is Sister Rita Pessoa, R.S.H.M. from the Association of Small Rural Producers of Jacare in Filadelfia, Brazil. The $1,000,000 grand prize winner announced on November 2 at Loyloa Marymount University is Lyn Lusi from Heal Africa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A big congratulations to all three leaders — "unsung heroes who are conquering the world's persistent social problems, who have dedicated their lives to help tranform others."
What Fr. Greg has been able to with Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles is nothing less than astounding. Looking for the perfect Christmas gift? Check out their catalog. This is a cause all of us can get behind. For more, check out the video below.

again, you are going to find so many character opportunities that just happen for anyone! i was never a character person, but now i am on the cruises! there are several meet and greets with different characters at different places on the ship - all in the navigators, very easy to make sense of when you get there. there are characters on castaway cay! the best thing is that there are random roaming characters every day - keep an eye around the atrium area - you never know who you might run into! chip and dale are favorites - sometimes they wander the deck peeking in the windows. im sure i sound like a goober, but really its quite fun and im betting you will have some pretty fun and unexpected moments onboard!

The fact is that there are lots of opportunities to meet characters on the ships. When the kids were younger I always called the PALS line at night to get the detailed schedule for the next day. They will tell you the specific times & where each character will be. Get there 10 minutes early and you can start the new line. Just check with the CM standing there with the character. They will have you get at the back of the current line for the next character. We can see 6-7 characters in the hour before dinner this way just in the atrium area on decks 3-5 on the new ships. If you are going to see a princess, make it 20 minutes early. If there is a princess gathering with multiple princesses, at least 30 minutes early. Trust me, that will save you from standing in a much longer line if you wait. Sometimes there are characters scheduled around 7 p.m. This is during the middle of dinner & the show, which makes it the perfect time for a quick meet. Just excuse yourself from the table, tell your servers you will be right back, and go snap a picture and get an autograph. These sessions hardly have anyone in line because of the time they are scheduled.

On our July cruise I ran into Stitch on deck 11 when I was out for an early morning coffee run, Mickey at the elevators when we boarded after our castaway cay day, and Belle at the elevators on deck 7. They were just walking around. Belle didn't even have a cm.

Only thing I can suggest is to not try and make it happen.... Enjoy your cruise as a family and let the pixie dust fall where it may.... It will fall at some point on you, maybe not as the meet and greet, but you will find it everyday somehow.

You can call a character line to get the schedule or you can just look on your navigator.
Characters also drop by unannounced (and announced) at the Kids Club.
If you hang out on the sports deck area, they also like to walk by to greet the kids.
Your DD will have SO many opportunities to meet characters left & right that you might have to figure out which character line NOT to get in, since you can't be in 2 places at the same time.
So bottomline, you won't be lacking for character time. Plus there's always that princess gathering with 5 princesses at 9am. The Fab 5 always change their clothing daily, so everyday your pictures will not look the same.
Have fun!

I just wanted to add in OPs defense, there are special meet n greets at the parks like for card holders etc. So I can see asking similarly about special M n Gs on the ship.
Wish us card holders DID get one on the ship actually but i enjoyed our lines. They were relaxing and we met nice people like the Nice Lady who took our princess photos and sent them to us! (We emailed her a Disney gift card as a thank you. Disney people are generally such nice happy people!)

I had far more random character greetings on the ships on my first few cruises, including a fairly hilarious moment with Goofy on deck 4 on the Magic back in 98 as I was running.
Not so much now...or at least not as much...since they schedule them, but it still happens, and I do cherish those moments, especially with my daughter now!

My kids had a wonderful time with all the characters. They go above and beyond for everyone. I would not worry about a vip meet. By the second night peter pan and snow white both knew my sons by name. And the cruise was sold out. So the characters saw a lot of kids. But everyone gets their own special attenetion. The kids clubs are also wonderful. On our 7 night the boys got to meet a lot of characters in the clubs and play games or trivia or something with them. Have fun. Also go to the morning playhouse Disney wake up shows. They usually are not crowded.

You are in for a great experience with the cruise. We have taken two cruises with DCL and have had magical moments on both. On our cruise last month my son and I ran into Snow White wondering around alone on the top level of the atrium. She stopped and chatted with him and we took photos. Not one other person came along. The biggest surprise came when we went to the Sports Deck to get Goofy's autograph. Once we got his autograph and picture we decided to play a around of putt-putt. Well, here comes Goofy indicating that he wants to play as well. The adults sat that round out as Goofy and my son played the entire round (not just one hole) together. Awesome!!!!

We were playing shuffleboard with our 10 year old daughter when Goofy decided to join us. He played for about 10 minutes with my daughter and posed for pictures with her. The deck we were on was not highly traveled at the time so absolutely no one else was around. Even my 14 year old son missed the whole thing (at the buffet again) He didn't believe us until he saw the pictures. It was such a special time for all of us. Not hurried, very genuine interaction. Magic is around every corner on these ships. Sometimes you just have to be at the right place at the right time.

just like to sneak in a few observations & past experiences.
i think not forcing the desired encounter is the way to go. i
don't think anyone don't understand that every parent has
their child best interest @ heart.
but others can lose the meanings for special greets when it
become more important to them them their child.
we have been doing dcl cruises since the wonder 's first. on that
cruise we didn't have any expectations because we didn't know
anything about cruising. still it holds some of our best /precious
memories. when we did our first in 99, we really thought it
would be our last too instead of the beginning.
i hope dcl never has to close down such special moments because
of poor guests response. it reminded me of previous threads
where so many hold the feelings so tight-fist that their hearing
are loss. i think it a situation that has many correct answers
pending one's own personal background.
i agree with the "thought" of keeping encounters secret if one is
trying to argued that their family is more disney deserving vs.
other families. the only time i have shared "ours" ~ was a community
board thread where i felt comfortable & friendship.
i think most of us have connections to family members that life
has placed many challenges in their paths. if a simple act of
kindness helps them to forget the heart aches & misery- is also where
i think the true value "lies"~ in all the special moments any cruise
member create. we had close families that knows to well about
the pain of serious , life threatening conditions. however, all 3
of our children are healthy - & as many as my co-workers remind
me...they don't abuse etoh, drugs-rx/street. they don't even
smoke. i considering these facts as our blessings.
now my children are growing into adulthood and finding new
thrills in different interests, i never get tired watching others
having their special /family time & remembering ours. what got my
interest here, was the "point" made by posters citing many
different but no less magical -disney moments. hope they remain
precious memories for years to come.
we finished the trans~a cruise earlier. ours came so unexpected
when we getting to venture out on a port call. dressed in our
block "o" tees , in different colors --they had the fab five in the
hobby. i think it is what the characters stand for & the dedication
that brings each to life that makes them special...& the
encouragements to children. ( add a lil' mental health insight-
being ok in being different and accepting others. ).
we have always been involved with supporting our local community.
some projects included sharing our own blessings -career successes,
good health, & many others---it just something i am driven for.
especially since i am directly connected to the cripple children
program---as one of their success story. therefore, children
programs are the ones we have participated in ---including
running a soap box derby , big brother /sister, scouting &
so forth. the thing i learn was this hidden reward ` the more
we gave, the more we received.
now that i am physical unable to do the derby ( those lil'cars
ruin my back)...a local church group asked us if we could help
3 needy families during the holidays.one of those families were
living in a barn with dirt floors. 5 kids. this was in 09, and we
have expanded to add our co-workers "collecting " all year
long. also we became dvc members in 09, so we have a
great new home for all the stuff they have given us. what i feel
was so neat is when we begun, their oldest son asked if i
could take their picture as they have none. without realizing
it, we started a new disney tradition between our families---
though they can only dream of disney currently, does not
mean they don't share the same feelings -the same magic
being referred here. all i do is let the disney employees
know about them & how important their "gifts" are to
children everywhere ...and delivered any messages they
give on christmas eve /day. i continue my pictures taking
( well i have dreams too ) that we return back so they
can "see" their magic @ it best!
for the record, i have awards, trophies , all kind of recognitions
that you can think of. but the "secret" i want to share is
this: i thought we were doing something nice on the
first visit...not knowing what to expect---heck we got loss
several times, driving all over tar-nation---but in reality, these
children gave me the best christmas i ever experienced!
they were so happy, so excited with happiness /glee...
that they crawled all over us...they gave me insights. every
year, they have given us so many precious moments...
that have enriched our life, not the reverse.
we are blt owners. one of our goal in the future is to send
this family on our points. the challenge is transportation,
meals, clothing & making it work.
i hope the real purpose for those posting their moments
was to seek sharing instead of claiming importance. if so,
i fell sorry for they are missing so much meanings. maybe
something that happened on our last christmas visit
will help? as i was unloading the boxes, the oldest son
came out to help & shared with me his very special
christmas gift--a new pair of boots. being from a
large extended family myself really helped me to pick
up on how "unselfish" he was being~``see?...he was sharing
his special gift with me, but outside /away- from his other
siblings- that his parents could not afford. nor was it
missed the previous christmas ...where they were wearing
"tongs" in freezing temperatures/snow. thanks for my
fellow coworkers, elves.
i could be wrong but i believe in morals are about feeling
good about doing right & the feedback they add to life.
my personal views of the characters...is it is hard work, very
hard. it is a very special by "nature" & in all the ways they add
the human 'being" to beloved role models ...that i wish
more adult would follow. besides all the hard work, is the
dedication & caring ..that offer a message to anyone
willing to believe. one can't "see, hear, smell, or touch"
such feelings instead it something inside that has the
power to make you happy. to me, very happy. i can't see
any reason to waste it by turning it into something
it was never meant to be-envy.

Jose Trunchez
From Grand Theft Wiki
Jose Trunchez is a minor character in Grand Theft Auto IV. Featured in the mission, Undress To Kill, Niko Bellic is sent to murder him by Dwayne Forge. Jose is one of the three brothers/managers of the Triangle Club, having seized it after Forge's incarceration. Not much is revealed about his character or history beyond his need for privacy when counting the club's earnings. This trait can be exploited. Jose can be stealthily killed in his office with a knife should the player execute him quickly enough. This is perhaps the only brother that can be taken down without raising an alarm, as the other two have companions near by.

Their first project, the Pathfinder- and Dungeons & Dragons-compatible Primeval Thule campaign setting, grew from the trio's shared love of pulp adventures—stories by Robert E. Howard (Conan), H.P. Lovecraft (Cthulhu), and Clark Ashton Smith.
"Modern fantasy draws from two great inspirations: epics such as Lord of the Rings, and the adventure stories of characters such as Conan, Tarzan, or John Carter," said Baker. "We feel that there aren't many game settings around that capture the action, savagery, and barbaric splendor of the sword-and-sandals tradition. That's the experience we want to deliver with our Primeval Thule setting."
The three Sasquatch principals collectively have 48 years of professional experience in the industry, mostly designing and developing D&D for TSR and Wizards of the Coast. Their first product—and the company itself—grew out of their ongoing Thursday night D&D game.

The Bachelor
8 p.m. Mondays, ABC
There may be no show on television as twisted about sex as The Bachelor. ABCs long-running dating show, now in its 18th season, purports to find a man a wife, a mission in which it is only very sporadically successful.
The show assembles a harem of attractive women who attempt to woo one man not just with their charm, but their bodies, their insecurity and their willingness to suppress any part of their personality that might make them seem difficult in particular, their innate discomfort that this man is availing himself of numerous other women as he speaks to each of them about feeling a real connection. To distract from the ickiness of this setup, The Bachelor plays the prude, only ever speaking of sex in the most coded, vague terms.
Typically, The Bachelors resemblance to an unusually public escort service is kept under wraps until late in the season, when the bachelor has narrowed the field down to three suitors. They are then invited or not invited to spend the night with the bachelor in a fantasy suite, an evening in a romantic, usually tropical location where the cameras will finally leave these two people alone to get up to whatever they want to get up to.
Having one off-camera sexual encounter with a person who may soon give you a grapefruit-size engagement ring seems like a good idea. But in practice, it means a man has sex with three women, three evenings in a row, and professes his deep and romantic feelings to each one of these women, all of whom are fearful of behaving in a way he might not like. It is sordid behavior made somehow acceptable.
But the shows sex issues have come up much earlier than usual in the latest iteration of The Bachelor, starring Venezuelan soccer player and apologetic homophobe Juan Pablo. He has a small daughter at home, increasingly one of The Bachelors favorite props for signifying that its protagonist has pure motives (because no single parent ever just wanted just to screw around). He has deployed his daughter strategically in the last few episodes, using her as an excuse to kiss only those women he really wants to kiss.
I dont want my daughter to see her dad kissing 20 girls, he has said, though he is apparently fine with having his daughter see her dad kiss six of them.
With one woman, Juan Pablo went much further than kissing, scandalous in the Bachelor universe, where sex always arrives in the penultimate episode and always at the behest of the john.
Clare, 32, a high-strung hairstylist, is the woman Juan Pablo kissed first, and they have barely stopped since. On a group date in Vietnam, Clare and Juan Pablo ignored everyone while goofing around in a rowboat.
After lunch at a farm (We should have these in America, said one contestant, a 21-year-old former NBA dancer), Juan Pablo continued to shower Clare with attention. After the group dinner he hustled her to his hotel room, so they could take a solo dip in his pool. He then gave her a rose, meaning she had won the group date, and was guaranteed not to be sent home the following night.
After receiving all this attention, Clare decided to show up at Juan Pablos room at 4 a.m. for a swim in the ocean. And then they had sex or at least, that is the only way to make sense of what followed.
The next day, Clare gave a toast to finding love, being loved, and making love, only for Juan Pablo to take her aside and tell her, I hope nobody knows. Maybe it wasnt right. I have a daughter, I dont want her to see what happens, if she sees it.
Clare, who thought she had had sex with someone who wanted to have sex with her, was mortified.
Clare did exactly what the show and Juan Pablo purport to want the women to do: be themselves, do what they would do if the cameras werent there, try to have genuine interactions. Because she did not leave decisions about when to have sex to the show or Juan Pablo, she got slut-shamed by both.
At her own expense, Clare exposed The Bachelors sexual ethos, which is the women are supposed to be relatively chaste until the man calls on them to stop being so.
If Clare had bided her time and waited however many episodes until Juan Pablo invited her into his fantasy suite, she would have been celebrated as a woman willing to make herself vulnerable for love. Instead, she got a scolding about sexual propriety from a guy proudly wearing multiple womens spit. It may be hard out here for a bachelor, but its way harder for a bachelorette.

CartoReso 0.31
The application requires WinPcap and Java to function properly and none of them is added automatically during the installation procedure.
Looks and options at a glance
The main screen of the program is empty at first launch and a network scan is required to become populated with information.
Users have the possibility to adjust the thoroughness of the operation by enabling the verification of the most common ports or just of particular one.
An aggressive scan is also on the list of choices and it checks all the ports. Additional options include selecting specific subnets to be verified. More limitations for the job refer to setting up a hop limit (maximum TTL – time to live – value) and the maximum amount of time allowed for the scan.
At the end of the operation CartoReso should be able to produce a map with the machines and routers in the network, and their connections to other clusters. Details like the IP of the host, DNS name and MAC address are also available in the information pane.
During our tests CartoReso did not work as intended, although glitches are to be expected because the project has not reached a final stage of development.
CartoReso is an interesting project that can produce a visual representation of the hosts available in the network. There are multiple graph types to pick from and it can help identify a specific machine.
Furthermore, it should be able to detect the operating system that machine runs. However, in our case it did not function properly as scans were rarely completed.

Judith's StoryI had gotten this from a co-worker and I have been making this for co-workers since 1999. Wow! This cake is so good!!!
1 box
chocolate cake (add box ingredients)
2 box
jell-o chocolate flavor instant pudding
1 c
1 1/2 c
1 pkg
1 large
cool whip ( make sure this is the largest size) i can't remember the size
Directions Step-By-Step
1Make the Cake p/the box instructions in 2 round layers and add one of the chocolate pudding into the mix. Make sure that you add your eggs, oil and water p/the cake instructions. I did not include those in my list of ingredients
2Make the pudding w/a twist, use 1 1/2 cups milk and 1/2 cup of Kahlua and finish making p/the box instructions.
3I use a large bowl for transport purposes. Place one cake round in the bottom of the bowl bottom side up. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the kahlua on the cake slowly so that it is absorbed. Then pour half the chocolate pudding on top. Then sprinkle a portion on the heath toffee chips and cover w/half of the cool whip. Place the next cake layer on top of the cool whip down side up and repeat. When you have the cool whip part done, there should be a little toffee left for decoration.

Pretty Posts
Scientists at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research believe that their genetically engineered stem cells are going to be a 'potential cure for AIDS'. Their treatment prevents the onset of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. This is a cure for AIDS, not for the HIV infection itself.
HIV is a virus that attacks the body's T-cells which are a key component of a healthy immune system. The virus impairs the ability of T-cells to fight off infections, and slowly destroys the immune system which leads to a condition known as AIDS. After the onset of AIDS the body is unable to fight off infections that a normal person wouldn't have to worry about in their daily life, these infections could potentially be life threatening for individuals with AIDS. There are more than 34 million people living with HIV worldwide, most of them are from the lower levels of society, and in 2011, more than 2 million people were infected with HIV.
Scientists at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research have come up with a protein that stops the virus' ability to attack the T-cells and subsequently keeps it from destroying the immune system. This treatment is going to be administered via stem cells; stem cells are going to be taken from the patient, which are then going to be genetically engineered with the HIV fighting protein. The genetically engineered stem cells will be released back into the patient's system which are effectively going to fend off the HIV infection and keep it from destroying the immune system.The treatment will help people with HIV to prevent the onset of AIDS, and thanks to the help of stem cells, repair the damage that's been done by the virus. This amazing treatment will generate healthy immune system which is going to help people with HIV lead almost a normal life without the help of other drugs.
So far, these genetically engineered stem cells have been effective in stopping the growth of the virus in the petri dish, and they hope to begin trials in animals soon. The new 'cure' for AIDS performed strongly outside the body, and the scientists believe that they're going to see positive results when they start animal trials. Clinical trials in humans are a long way away, but this new 'cure' for AIDS is a new glimmer of hope for those affected by the condition, and hope to live a normal life.

The particles are virtually identical in every way, except for two properties, one of which is their electrical charge. An electron carries a negative electrical charge, while the positron carries a positive charge. A proton carries a positive charge, while an antiproton carries a negative charge.
Positrons and antiprotons form in a range of processes in the cosmos. For instance, positrons form as a byproduct of collisions between cosmic rays and matter in clouds of dust and gas between stars.
But they trend to vanish quickly; when matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate each other in a sudden release of energy.
The Big Bang mystery
This has posed a cosmological conundrum. Current theories hold that when the universe was in its infancy, conditions at the time should have generated matter and antimatter in equal amounts. The inability of matter and antimatter to survive each other should have led to a universe with only a bit of each left as the universe expanded. Yet today's universe holds far more matter than antimatter.
"For reasons no one yet understands, nature ruled out antimatter," says Jeffery Hangst, a physicist at Denmark's Aarhus University as well as a member of the research team for the ongoing project, known by its acronym ALPHA.
In studying antihydrogen in the lab and comparing it with the heavily studied hydrogen atom, physicists hope to pin down the reasons for today's matter-antimatter mismatch.
