"Survival is testament to someone's strength. Healing is testament to the community surrounding her." –Lisa Factora-Borchers
As a University community, we are expected to report incidents of sexual assault and interpersonal violence. But what else can faculty and staff members do to best support students who have experienced this kind of violence? What do we say? What do we not say? Most importantly, how can we build trust and help empower survivors that enhances a campus community that is supportive to all survivors?
This workshop will provide learning space for UMBC's faculty and staff to become familiar with the scope of the problem of sexual assault and other forms of interpersonal violence on college campuses, challenges related to healing for survivors, and tools for personal self-care. The majority of the workshop will focus on best practices for responding sensitively and effectively to student survivors who are experiencing an immediate crisis or ongoing trauma.
This workshop will be held on Wednesday, October 29 from 12 – 1 p.m. in the Women's Center. Workshop material will be covered from 12-1pm. Presenters have blocked an additional 30 minutes afterwards to be available for further questions and support.
Presenters: Jess Myers and Megan Tagle Adams, Women's Center staff
Questions? Contact: Jess Myers, email@example.com or x5-2714
Please note: This workshop does not cover specifics related to UMBC's reporting requirements and procedures for sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking. Faculty and staff who are interested in the VAV Responding to Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence training can attend the fall semester training which is scheduled for Monday, October 20th from 1-2:30pm.

The report also provides other information about our water such as Water Security and Special Health Information."
For anyone not receiving a water bill, extra copies of the report will be available at the Water Utilities Office in City Hall, 300 W. Cotton St. or the Longview Public Library, 222 W. Cotton St. A copy of the report can also be found on the City of Longview website, LongviewTexas.gov.

- Heat oven to 220c/fan 200c/gas 7. Place the flour in a large bowl, then rub in the butter. Stir in the oats and cheese, then the milk – if it feels like it might be dry, add a touch more milk, then bring together to make a soft dough.
- Lightly dust the surface with a little flour. roll out the dough no thinner than 2cm. Using a 4cm plain cutter, firmly stamp out the rounds – try not to twist the cutter as this makes the scones rise unevenly. re-roll the trimmings and stamp out more.
- Transfer to a non-stick baking sheet, dust with a little more flour or grated cheese, then bake for 12-15 mins until well risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack before serving on their own or topped with mashed avocado, or soft cheese, and ham, cucumber or cress.

Comments, questions and tips
great recipe, thought i had dibs on it until i saw it on here... i also used mustard (American Style, kids can't stand any other kind) and instead of herbs used some Encona Hot Pepper Sauce and instead of milk I used 200ml Buttermilk. They taste absolutely delish. even better when reheated from frozen.
I doubled the recipe with the plan of putting half the scones in the freezer. That went to pot. Husband scoffed three, I had one. Gas bottle man can called and had SIX! Friends came around and cleared nine leaving only four for toasting the next day. Really lovely scones but when I make them again I will lock the door .....oOo.....
Great recipe but... it is greatly improved if you add half a teaspoon of dried mustard (Colman's is easily available) and a big pinch of dried herbs to the flour. Together they really add flavour to the scone and really compliment the cheese. Also, if you like a bit of a kick why not try a pinch of cayenne pepper - but don't add too much, a little goes a very long way.

Retail sales fell 0.1 percent from June to July and 9.4 percent compared with July of last year, according to advance estimates released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Much of the year-over-year difference was due to falling gas prices, which brought gasoline station sales down 32.5 percent.
Retail industry sales for July, excluding automobiles, gas stations, and restaurants, decreased 5 percent unadjusted year-over-year but declined 0.6 percent seasonally adjusted month-to-month, according to the National Retail Federation.
In the last month before back-to-school shoppers are expected to pump sales up, retailers found little or no improvement in consumer spending.
"Many families postponed the bulk of their back-to-school shopping this year, possibly waiting to take advantage of their state sales tax holiday or hoping for additional discounts," said Rosalind Wells, chief economist of NRF. "Hopefully, retailers' aggressive promotions and reduced inventory levels will make for a better August and shield retailers from a disappointing season."
Health and personal care store sales were among the few sectors that gained, with sales increasing 0.7 percent adjusted from last month and up 4.7 percent unadjusted over last July. Sales at clothing and clothing accessories stores also increased a slight 0.6 percent adjusted month-to-month but decreased 7.2 percent unadjusted year-over year.

SSD, ChkDsk and Macrium not in harmony
Hi All,
I just installed an Intel 330 120G SSD in my netbook. Macrium Reflect worked brilliantly to clone and resize the partiions to fit from a larger 250G hard drive to the new 120G SSD. Awesome stuff Macrium, thanks.
After swapping in the new SSD, I wanted to make an image of the completed install but Reflect balked for the C: drive with an "MFT error" and a suggestion to run ChkDsk.
I did as instructed and ChkDsk returned a bunch of errors but I suspect they are not really errors but rather unexpected results from an SSD.
Anyone care to weigh in on real-fault or not-real-fault?
There were about ten of these...
CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)...
0 percent complete. (0 of 151808 file records processed)
Attribute record (128, "") from file record segment 1536 is corrupt.

|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2012
Thanks HH,
Am I correct in assuming that DiskPart Alignment is not intended for an installation that was cloned from an existing version of win7? With the format command, wouldn't it wipe the entire SSD during the format?
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2012
Diskpart at the admin dos box should have worked. Notice I said should have. When You laid down the image and shrunk the disk it could have borked the alignment.
In the posted tutorial down through it you will find the commands to check the alignment. Check the alignment was what I was suggesting.
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2012
OK, only the first partition Offset is not divisible by 4 and that is the recovery partition which is never used so I am happy with that, but all other partition offsets are evenly divisible.
In another forum I was instructed to make sure AHCI was active in both win7 and setup for benchmark figures. That has now all been done.
Reflect now makes an image without complaint, but ChkDsk still returns the same errors but I am not too worried about that.
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2012
Unanswered Questions
Well if your happy, ok. But I would be concerned about the integrity of the disk until I had ran a succesful "chkdsk". Any effort you put into it at this point maybe wasted when and if it completely fails.
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2012
Thanks, I am making some images now and will try with chkdsk. At worst I will have to reinstate these images.
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2012
Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8
This is a pretty murky story. My take is, if chkdsk reports a problem, then there is a problem.
And why did you move the recovery partition to the SSD. Is that a Dell system where the bootmgr is on the recovery partition? If yes, the bootmgr should be moved to C.
An unaligned SSD is not good, regardless which partition is first.
Before we proceed, I suggest you post a picture of your Disk Management of the SSD so that we can see what's going on.

ABSOLUTELY HATED IT!!!!! Having high blood pressure my obgyn recommended this "marvelous" little thing called a Mirena IUD instead of the pill. All the protection of the pill but without the side effects. No pills...no periods...no cramps... Sounds great doesn't it?!
Don't fall for it!
First, yes the insertion was extremely painful not to mention the bad cramps that plagued me for the following 2 or more days. Oh but it doesn't stop there...I cramped on and off EVERY day for the 7 months it was in!
Oh and about the "no periods"? I BLED EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR SEVEN MONTHS!!!! When i wasn't having a full period (which occurred every 10-15 days) I was continuously spotting.
And those were just a few of the "minor" side effects...
My skin broke out worse in those 7 months than my entire adolescence! I had 2 yeast infections (never had one before) Absolutely no sex drive! Vaginal dryness. Bloating and severe water retention. Headaches. And MOODY!!
After seven months of this, and numerous calls to my obgyn office (who kept telling my it gets "better with time") I finally demanded that they take it out.
At the office the doc tried to talk me out of having it removed saying that the bleeding and cramping could be treated by....GUESS??? Daily pills and patches!!!! Wasn't that one of the "wonderful" benefits to having an IUD was not having to do all that? And what about the other lovely side effects??!!
I didn't let myself get tricked again and got it out! It wasn't nearly as painful having it removed. Slight discomfort but it lasted literally a second.
I have been on birth control pills, Depo, Lupron, and none have been as bad as the IUD!
You may ask if i had any benefits from the IUD...well, I didn't get pregnant.
Yasmin birth control pills are the best!

Nick Cave's Personal Dictionary
Author and musician Nick Cave has a way with words.
So it comes as no surprise that the Bad Seeds frontman and author of the novels And the Ass Saw the Angel and The Death of Bunny Munro has a history of creating his own personal dictionary.
Dangerous Minds has the scoop: "As a younger man Cave kept a journal in which he jotted down new words he wanted to remember and arranged them in alphabetical order. It's definitely a good tip for writers starting out, you're always learning, there's always something to learn. Take notes endlessly and don't waver!"

Drug Diversion and Abuse: VA Agrees to PMP Database Dump
Cmdr John Burke
Published Online:
Monday, March 18, 2013
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
State prescription-monitoring programs will now have access to a wealth of VA hospital data.
The prescription monitoring programs (PMPs) throughout the country are probably the single most innovative help in years to law enforcement trying to deal with pharmaceutical diversion issues. Although some of the states' systems are not as friendly to law enforcement access, those that are provide a wealth of easily accessible information for potential prosecutions.
Prescription Databases
However, until now, the one thing that has been lacking in all of these PMPs has been the data being produced and stored in our veterans' hospital prescription database. The announcement was made that by April 2013, state PMPs will be able to access the pharmaceutical history kept at Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals or have it dumped into their databases.
I have no idea what the actual numbers are that are being kept in the VA databases, but my guess is that they are rather voluminous. There is no question that a considerable number of "doctor shoppers" and other prescription drug seekers have gone unprosecuted due to state and local law enforcement not having the entire prescription profile of the possible offender. This new move by the VA will likely fill the large gap that exists now.
Of course, the addition of these databases will also assist countless health professionals who access their state PMP every day in an attempt to provide the best possible health care for their patients. They, too, will now have a more accurate view of the patient in front of them—and can make even better decisions when it comes to the prescribing or dispensing of controlled substances.
Health Care Fraud
When I testified for Ohio's PMP many years ago, I stressed the fact that the program would also reduce health care fraud. Adding the VA information to the state PMP databases will also potentially reduce health care fraud in both state and private health care programs and the VA itself. This is, of course, if law enforcement and regulators are aggressive in rooting out these folks with this additional tool.
Some of you may remember the old way we obtained prescription drug profiles: through facsimile programs and good old shoe leather! This seems archaic compared with today's almost instantaneous computerized response from our PMP programs. No doubt, our efforts in those days, although well intentioned, fell sorely short as far as being efficient.
Automated Reporting
Ohio's program, called the Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System, like those of many states near us, is incredibly efficient. Our investigators send in their request, which comes to their supervisor, who approves or disapproves the request. Once approved, the information almost immediately becomes available to the investigator. If supervisors are at their computers when the request is made and promptly approve the request, the whole transaction can take less than 5 seconds.
This is a far cry from waiting hours and sometimes days before pharmacies could respond to your requests by fax. The other issue was that many of the fax machines if co-located in a grocery store went to the grocery office—the location of the only fax machine in the building! I never understood this—it was as if the pharmacy couldn't be trusted with a fax machine or there were no money for 2 fax machines, even though the pharmacy faxes very well may have contained private patient information. I assume that situation is a very rare occurrence today, although fax machines seem to be destined to be a thing of the past soon, along with our daily newspapers.
I am not sure who is responsible for this decision to add the VA database into state PMPs, but I certainly applaud it. I often criticize the federal government for its bureaucracy and inability to make decisions. But in this situation, although it has taken a few years, the decision will have a positive impact in one of the most prolific drug problems in the United States. Ultimately, this will have a positive impact on legitimate patients, and may just save a few addicts' lives in the process—both a good thing.

Before we settle in for a nice long Thanksgiving weekend, some thoughts on a few of the TV shows and headlines that caught my eye over the last few days—some of which makes me thankful, some not so much.Want more Matt Roush? Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine now!THANKS to Fox for suddenly making the midseason interesting with its bold scheduling moves in the new year — though NO THANKS to some of the side-effects (especially involving Fringe) and NO THANKS to breaking the news late on a Friday night, as if we somehow wouldn't take notice...

Zachary Quinto, Heroes
p>TV Guide's Senior Critic Matt Roush takes your TV questions. Have a rant, rave or burning question about your favorite show you'd like addressed? E-mail him here.
Question: What shall we do with Heroes? NBC must be asking itself the same question. Its first season, the show was a breakthrough hit, and then its season finale disappointed many. The abbreviated second season disappointed many more. Its producer publicly apologized for mistakes in that season. Then it comes back, supposedly rejuvenated and better than ever. NBC promotes the hell out of it and, almost unbelievably, viewership is down. The episodes that have aired so far have certainly been pretty good and even promising. I have to wonder if NBC made a blunder by airing the premiere against the Dancing with the Stars premiere. Maybe they should have come back a week earlier. Regardless, we need some explanation as to why the show can't get back on track to where it was in its best first season moments. My conclusion is that there was one colossal blunder made by the show's producers that has caused most of the problems, and that decision was to keep Sylar around after the first season. — Kelly H.

Anna Friel and Lee Pace, Pushing Daisies
TV Guide's Senior Critic Matt Roush takes your TV questions. Have a rant, rave or burning question about your favorite show you'd like addressed? E-mail him here.
Question: I'm devastated, but not necessarily surprised, by the early ratings for Pushing Daisies. I thought it was risky of ABC to leave a show this fragile and unique off the air for so long and expect viewers to flock to its return. It's sad that something this unique, this creative and this original just can't "click" with a general public, but my hope is that the demos are decent enough that it will make it through at least 12 episodes and give us fans a proper, affectionate sign-off. — Andrew M.
Matt Roush: Let's not suggest the show be pushing up daisies just yet, though the opening numbers were dismaying. I can only hope ABC won't let this delightful show go down without a fight (the same argument I've been adopting lately for Fox's struggling Terminator series). But I agree the out-of-sight, out-of-mind argument has been devastating for this show in particular.

Question: There clearly must be something magical about Mondays. What is it with the insistence of every network to schedule all of their decent shows on Monday evening? In just the one night, I am expected to watch Prison Break, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother and now Chuck as well. Yet, come Wednesday, the schedule is about as interesting as Paris Hilton reading a book entitled "The Future of Plumbing". I can't be the only person who shares an interest in these same shows, so would it hurt to spread them out a bit, please, people?
Answer: The Monday battleground has been a very popular topic so far this season, and now that nearly everything is in place — with only NBC's My Own Worst Enemy (premiering next week) a no-show so far — the dilemma is becoming even more pronounced. I'm with you that a few of these shows should be given a chance elsewhere on the schedule, and Wednesdays would seem a likely option for both NBC and Fox. I'd love to see
read more
Question: A lot has been mentioned by you and others about the overcrowding on Monday nights, especially in the 8 o'clock hour. Chuck and the CBS comedies are must-DVR's for me, but I also love Sarah Connor. My situation is further complicated by the fact that I work nights and thus don't have the option to watch one and record two. I would hate to see any of these shows canceled (either mid-season or before next year) because they were simply in the wrong time slot. With that foundation, I have a couple of related questions. First off, do networks take the level of competition into account when looking at a show's ratings and deciding whether to keep it or axe it? Also, how are the number of people who DVR a show counted? How about those who stream them online? Is there enough evidence out there to support streaming a show online later versus DVR-ing it when it comes to the effect on how a network views its survival chances?
Answer: It's all very complicated and still a work in

Cloris Leachman
Question: I'm a huge fan of Dancing with the Stars. However, I need to vent. I have no problem with an 82-year-old woman being a participant of DWTS. I like old people — I am one myself. However, can you please get a message to Cloris Leachman for me? Tell her that I am embarrassed for her. Not because of her age, not because of her dancing skill, but because of her sophomoric actions that are not funny. — Ashley B.
Matt Roush: First off, don't fool yourself that ABC is doing anything to drum up business among the seniors. Nothing against them — some of my best friends and family members, etc. — but that demographic, you may have heard, isn't exactly advertiser-friendly, more's the pity. The issue, though, is Cloris, isn't it?

Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski
Question: I wanted to write to applaud the writers of The Office for taking the road less traveled. They have managed, it seems, to do something that most other shows have been too afraid to try: keeping their main romantic couple together and have their relationship be both happy and entertaining. Years upon years of TV watching have kept me waiting for the other shoe to drop for Jim and Pam, but The Office has handled their coupling with perfect care. What are your thoughts on Jim and Pam? And do you think that more shows will be willing to take this risk in the future? — Allyson
Matt Roush: Cue those who may think they're boring now that they're together, but I agree with you. I loved the proposal scene, especially in contrast to how miserable Angela is making Andy after his own ill-timed (and surely ill-fated) popping of the question.

Question: I've watched a lot of TV in my life, but I don't know that I've ever experienced a night as full of great TV as I did last Sunday. I'm not arguing it was the best TV I've ever seen, or even that any one series had its best episode ever, but as a combined lineup, I don't know that I've ever been more satisfied. I started with the return of The Amazing Race. The teams seem like they'll be a whole lot of fun this year, and they even seemed diverse enough that a half hour in I was still able to remember who was who. Then it was time to switch over to ABC's Desperate Housewives/Brothers & Sisters combo. This time jump really seems to have freshened things up on Housewives, and I hope the mystery surrounding Edie's creepy husband is worth our time. Brothers & Sisters had a strong start, and I found myself not really begrudging them the questionable plot twists the show took at the end of last season. Then I caught the replay of Mad Men. I believe they've raised the bar even higher ...
read more
Question: I want your opinion on what I've noticed happening more and more on TV these days. It seems that many shows (Weeds, House and My Name Is Earl are the first three that come to mind) seem to be enjoying relative success and then, without explanation, someone (producers? creators? head writers?) decides to shake things up and change the format. On Weeds, the fourth season strayed very far away from the whole premise of suburban-mom-as-drug-dealer when Nancy and Company moved out of Agrestic/New Majestic to live on the California-Mexico border. On House, the whole staff gets disbanded and viewers have to watch way too many episodes of House berating and belittling new applicants as it strays way too far away from its main storyline of saving people with mysterious illnesses. (Oh, and when at least one of your new applicants is relatively famous, your audience can pretty much guess that he'd end up with the job). And then on My Name Is Earl, the whole list took a back seat last ...
read more
Question: I recently purchased a lot of TV DVDs of returning series so I could "catch up" after these many months of mind-numbing programs like Greatest American Dog and I Survived a Japanese Game Show. After popping in a few discs, I noted something I had never really noticed before: the Warner Brothers logo on many shows not aired on the CW network (the old WB). Now, I know many studios produce series that are used by other networks. But the quality of the series in question makes me wonder why Warner ever let these titles slip by them. To highlight a few examples: Pushing Daisies on ABC, Chuck on NBC, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on FOX, and both The Big Bang Theory and The New Adventures of Old Christine on CBS. These are all critic and fan favorites. And, sure, none of these would likely have had a chance of renewal (or a full season for that matter) on Warners' own network. But can you think of a time when one studio has produced so many, dare I say, hits for other ...

So, ye need some groceries and things from the shops. But ye live in the undergrowth of Pias, so it ain't a case of just popping to some omni-mall. What are ye going to do? Ye can't farm cos' the ground here ain't gonna get enough sun, and there's nae way in hell ye can just experiment with all the fruits of the jungle, cos' ye value your life too much. Whatcha gonna do?
Well, good ol' Cygno here can help ye wi' this trusty guide! Available in all the shady places over the Kairos galaxy. This guide here'll tell ye all about how to find the best markets in Pias and how tae not get scammed by some scoundrel.
First off, terribly sorry for ye bein' here. I dunno if ye were forced tae run from the gangs or police in Canopy City or whatever other tragedy befell ye, but sorry. Pias ain't a holiday site once yer under the leaves, I can tell ye that fer sure.
By the time yer readin' this, y'll have discovered that those Waspitai's 'll kill ye if ye give them the chance and that yer best hope of living is building a treehouse in the lowermost branches of th' Sap engine-trees.
Oh, aye, word o' advice... don't go stealin' the Sap from the trunks of the trees. That powers Canopy City so it does, so they'll have sensors an' all that locked on to ye. The police'll be pulse-bombing yer house before you can use the Sap for anythin' useful. Best to not do that, 'kay?
Yer gonna need a torch.
Even in broad daylight ye won't be able to see the deep depths of the jungle without one. Behind ev'ry leaf a million and one things want tae rip ye to shreds and eat yer remains. Half of 'em 'aint even got a name 'cause all the scientists died tryin' to capture specim'ns, so they did.
Of course, when ye come face tae face with th' blasphemies a simple light 'aint gonna do shit. So ya better have a good ol' phase weapon, makeshift armour too if ye can find it. If ye can get the bark off those trees and can model it into shields and stuff like that then ye'll have a better chance o' survival. Of, like, three perc'nt, but hey ho ye gotta take 'em when they come yer way.
Oh, and take all yer belongings with ye. Ye'll see why later.
So, yer on the ground, scared away all th' creatures an' now yer ready to get on yer way.
Ye better cover yer legs up well. On the jungle floor there's a big manner o' beasties that'll dig into yer organs and make 'em into cocoon hotels, bug restaurants an' even worse things. Once saw a man whose heart had ripped its way through his body an' had turned into a Chalchra Mother, so I did. Poor sod. Those barbed tentacles must've hurt when cuttin' his skin tae ribbons.
Anyway, if that's all sorted my next tip is tae avoid all fruit, things that look edible and definitely water. I've seen men melt into flesh puddles when drinkin' from streams and burns and the like in the Pias undergrowth. And believe me, ye don't wanna be in their shoes. Or lack of.
Th' next step should be easy. The only way ye can be standin' still is if yer in the Tarsia Sector. Otherwise... well mate, no one'll ever know fer sure how ye died but anyone who goes into Von-Kumen, Farpacia or Yuondria never comes back. Well done on gettin' my guide though.
Tarsia Sector is a relatively small part of Pias. To know if yer still in it, just look up. If ye see the hoverpads o' Canopy City yer all right. Some people say that the transmissions o' the city keep away the really bad things, but I dunno. I'm no scientist.
To get to a market, ya gotta look fer the stones. Y'see, long before Pias chocked itself tae death in flora, there was 'tis city o' ancient people. Some say they're an obscure Descendant civilization, 3rd Gen, but what we do know is that they left a city. And they also built roads, but they're long gone so don't bother tryin' to dig up the leaves for ol' paving stones. Nah, that's what the stones are for.
These small pyramids o' pure white diamond. Really heavy an' impossible to break. Well, these Ancient Piasians put 'em here many years ago and they still stand. Some say that they're really massive and that most of are just covered in dead leaves an' that, leaving only these lil' tops. No one's ever been ballsy enough tae check, mind.
These stones'll shine a beam o' light to the next pyramid, and then another, and so on, so all ye gotta do is follow the light trail. Be warned, though, the light 'aint always clear. An' then there's all them evil monsters tae deal with too.
If ye ain't dead at the end o' this all, ye should find yerself at th' front of a big ol' stone archway. Well, it'll look more like a hedge 'cos of all the plants an' that, but it'll be an archyway.
An' this is th' entrance to Lempo City.
No one knows th' real name o' the ruins. Them Ancient Paisians all buggered off before makin' a comprehensible language or contact wi' the C.U.F.P. So, all th' people who found it named it Lempo an' set up camp.
Nah, ye ain't gonna get to live in any of them fancy mini-temples or ruined houses. Aye, might seem like a luxury from a treehouse, but ye don't wanna stay in the city. Ye'll get dragged into gang politics and before ye know it someone'll be after yer head. Believe me, I had tae get rid of many a bounty hunter from bloody self defense alone when I lived there, aye! How was I tae know she was the daughter of the bloody boss of the richest smokepod stall, damnit.
Lempo ain't much o' a city. Just a bunch o' mossy ruins with people livin' in the husks o' shrines. There's one fire pit which goes on ev'ry month or so fer festivals and ceremonial stuff like that, but besides that it's just a place fer social interaction.
Best not tae do that in the open, mind. Monsters still come an' go outside.
Aye, fer gossip from above and safe food yer better goin' tae The Zigg.
The Zigg. A giant ol' ziggurat, standin' like a brick mountain. Compared tae the trees around it, howev'r, it may as well be a lil' mole mound. Tae be fair though, down 'ere the moles make mounds big as spaceships,. My point is, it's pretty damn big.
Gettin' in is pretty easy. Well, as long as ye haven't pissed off any of the gang leaders that is, heh. On the bottom-most level of the giant bricks, there's a big hole which'll be guarded. Ye'll only be able to see two of them, but believe me, there are many more watchin' ye from the shadows.
Unless ye cause trouble, ye'll just be able to walk right in, no questions asked. We all got blood on our hands, no need to bring it up.
First of all, ye've got tae fail tae be amazed. And believe me, ye'll be amazed.
The inside's illuminated with millions of floatin' nano-suns (stolen from Canopy). A thousand smells, sights, and sounds all put into this one big place. Ye've got stalls hanging off vines in the roof ran by Humo-bats, forest villages full of merchant Sparrawtins, scrap palaces filled tae the brim wi' Cattiz and stalls, oh so many stalls.
'Tis the safest place on Pias, so it is.
Mappin' the Zigg is an impossible task, I'm afraid. Stalls rise and get raided, gangs migrate from corner tae corner, freak fires erupt from cookers and turn a thousand shopkeepers tae ash. The only way tae explore and understand 'tis place is tae just wander.
I can still give ye some tips, though. First o' all, don't ask anyone where they got their stuff from. Ye won't like the answers, believe me.
Second of all, be as nice an' polite as possible. It still won't be enough, 'cause ye'll manage to piss someone off there by doing something impossible tae not do. Like havin' a nose, for example.
Third, don't take any offers o' smokepod. Massive headaches afterwards.
Oh, an' don't bring any money either. Barely anyone'll accept it.
Aye, the currency here is food, weapons an' loyalty. I wouldn't do the last one, mind. That often ends up messy, what with all the gangs and that.
Problem with them is, ye never know who's in a gang. Ye've just gotta be careful.
Spend as much time as possible in there, 'cause it's a helluva lot safer than outside. Ye should be able tae find makeshift inns to sleep in if gets tae evening. Barely anyone returns from the night.
What ye buy is totally up to ye, but make sure it ain't too heavy 'cause yer gonna have to carry it all the way back to yer tree-house-place. I wouldn't buy materials for improvin' it; ye'll probably never find it ever again so there's no point in doin' so.
Ye want food. Worried its poisoned? Well, tough luck 'cause you ain't got any better chance in th' wild. It's safer in the Zigg anyway. 'Specially from the Cattiz, they're brill wi' food and that.
So, you've got yer stuff an' slept in one of the inns. Gettin' back is pretty simple; ye just follow the light trail of those pyramids until the sun begins tae set an' ye choose a tree taw spend th' night in.
And there ye have it! Ye've successfully been tae the shops in the Pias undergrowth. Well done.
Next time ye go to the Zigg, ye should stop off at my stall. It shouldn't be too hard tae find; it's one of the only ones that sells books and that. There ye can buy more guides, like "How Tae Set Up A Stall In The Zigg" and "A Step-By-Step Guide Tae Stealin' Sap In Pias". Aye, it'll be grand.
See ye there one day, I hope. Unless ye get ripped apart by all manner of beasts. In which case, ah well.

Their proposal would use the money taken from top 1 percent — those netting more than $500,000 — to repay schools.
House Speaker Paul Thissen and Majority Leader Erin Murphy discussed the DFLers' proposed tax surcharge on the state's top earners.
Photo: Photos by GLEN STUBBE • email@example.com ,
Minnesota House Democrats are asking the state's highest earners to dig even deeper to bail out the state from its financial woes, proposing a temporary income tax surcharge that would catapult Minnesota to one of the nation's highest taxed states.
House DFLers want the top 1 percent of earners — those netting more than $500,000 — to come up with about $854 million over the next two years to repay public schools. The move would smooth out the state's finances and allow DFLers to make good on a signature campaign pledge. The surcharge could blink off sooner if the debt was repaid earlier.
"The bill we owe toward schools is past due," said House Speaker Paul Thissen, DFL-Minneapolis. "And the right thing to do is to pay them back."
Thissen unveiled the tax surcharge on Tuesday as part of a new budget outline that maps out more than $2.4 billion in new revenues, largely for increased spending on education and property tax relief. The financial sketch did not outline where the rest of the money would come from, but Thissen said DFL Gov. Mark Dayton's permanent tax hike on high earners would likely become a piece of the final proposal.
The House plan opens up a new frontier in the budget battle gripping the Capitol, where DFLers control the governor's office and both chambers of the Legislature. The surcharge could shape up as another test of DFL unity. The Senate and Dayton have not been as anxious to repay schools quickly and are leery of nation-leading income tax rates.
If Dayton's income tax hike and the surcharge become law, the tax rate for Minnesota's highest earners — at least temporarily — could crest at 11 percent. That would place the state firmly among income tax outliers like Hawaii and Oregon. The proposal would also set Minnesota on a much different course than a growing number of other states, where Republican leaders are looking at scrapping the income tax in favor of more sales and use taxes.
"Democrats want Minnesota to be number one in higher taxes," said House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, R-Crown. "Republicans want Minnesotans to be number one for job opportunities."
Some cuts proposed
Legislators are crafting a two-year budget proposal to wipe out a $627 million projected deficit. Along with the tax hike on high earners, legislators are considering an array of proposed tax hikes on everything from tobacco and alcohol to clothing as a way to find more money for education and property tax relief.
As part of their plan, House leaders proposed about $200 million in reductions, mostly from health and human services.
House Majority Leader Erin Murphy didn't identify specific health and human services reductions, but she said legislators should continue to press for reductions in a massive and growing area of the budget.
"We must find a way through efficiencies, reforms and cuts to bend the cost curve in health care while doing everything we can to to protect our seniors and Minnesotans with disabilities," said Murphy, DFL-St. Paul.
House DFLers also pledged money for expanded all-day kindergarten, for higher education and for an $800 million bonding bill that would fund a raft of building and road projects. Their plan also sets aside extra money for public safety, the courts and economic development.
House Democrats, who won power in the last election and face a feisty GOP eager to reclaim control, have displayed a keen focus on paying back the remaining $854 million owed to public schools.
Over the past several years, the state borrowed more than $2.4 billion from public schools to balance the budget. Criticism over the borrowing has resonated with the public, but school officials have not pressed the state hard for repayment. The improving economy has refilled state coffers and already allowed the state to repay a giant share of the money owed.
The income tax surcharge could have a tougher time in the state Senate, where leaders have been open to the governor's proposed income tax hike on high earners.
"The House just took it up a notch, and to their credit they found a way to make it temporary," said Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook. "But my position has been that when it comes to tax policy, it is helpful to be not in the top five in any category."

LAGUNA HILLS – Valencia Elementary School in Laguna Hills hosted its third annual "Passport to the World" International Fair May 17.
Students and their families enjoyed performances from different countries, folklore dances, and music from all around the world.
There were more than 45 booths representing different countries which presented crafts, distributed food samples, and taught about their cultural backgrounds. Several generations took part in working the booths, and many wore traditional ethnic costumes.
Students received passports upon arrival, and got them stamped while visiting each country.
The event was attended by additional members of the community, including Laguna Hills Mayor Barbara Kogerman.
"The International Fair helps us recognize our heritage while respecting our diversity," Kogerman said. "Exposing our young people to all these beautiful cultures helps prepare them to become citizens of the world."

- 1/2 cup sugar (or brown sugar for more flavor)
- 2 tablespoons of Amaretto
- 1 cup raisins
- 6 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 batch Amaretto Sauce, see recipe below
- 2 tablespoons VooDoo Dust (cinnamon & sugar)
- Amaretto Sauce:
- 2 sticks butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup Amaretto
- Bread Pudding: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Soak break in milk. Add sugar, vanilla, and raisins (soak raisins in Amaretto if desire). Add eggs. Mix lightly, pour into a well-buttered 9x13 baking dish. For an extra taste of New Orleans, sprinkle top of pudding with Cindy's Voo Doo Dust. Bake for 30-45 minutes. Remove from oven. While hot, poke holes in pudding with the end of a wooden spoon. Pour hot Amaretto Sauce over bread pudding to penetrate the pudding as well as glaze the top.
- Amaretto Sauce:
- In small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add sugar, stirring constantly. Whisk in Amaretto and heat slowly for one or two minutes. Pour over Bread Pudding and serve.
NotesEvery year, my husband and I go to New Orleans for the Essence Music Festival. I always go to a cooking class to pick up more cajun/creole recipes. This one is really good. Our cooking instructor's version was POTENT but GOOD! She soaked the raisins in amaretto, soaked the bread in amaretto, put all the ingredients together and poured in more amaretto and then finished it up with the amaretto sauce. I received a buzz just from eating bread pudding!!!

i rode all last season on these puppys and shes a nice binding but i cracked the base plate after a nasty spill and you need to tighten the screws all the time if you like to butter. i would buy these again.
Member since
iv noticed this with mine too. you really have to lock down on when ur tightening them/
Member since
well theres a lifetime warranty on the baseplate.... i never had any issues with the screws loosening but thats when a pocket tool comes in handy

ARANSAS PASS - Police closed off the Dale Miller Bridge from Aransas Pass to Port Aransas due to a barge colliding with a support column.
It took about an hour for inspectors from the Texas Department of Transportation and the Coast Guard to arrive at the scene.
As they assessed the damage, the Port Aransas Ferry ceased operations. That stretch of Highway 361 only runs between the Dale Miller bridge and the ferry landing.
As of 6:15pm, TxDOT started allowing traffic to cross the bridge and the Port Aransas Ferry landing resumed operations.
