If your package has reverse deps, you don't want to update it before figuring out it's reverse dependencies anyway, you never know what slot/version restrictions you're going to get. If it is a package without reverse dependencies, updating to the most recent slot and/or version should be expected unless the user has the slot defined in the world file. -- Alex

Joan Jett Announces First New Album In Seven Years Varnished Set for October 2013 Release Featuring Dave Grohl and Laura Jane Grace
For the first time since 2006, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will be releasing new music, with contributions from some of modern rock's greatest legends.
The upcoming album, Unvarnished, will be released on October 1. Though it will be Jett's fourteenth studio album with the Blackhearts, Jett claims that the lyrical subject matter will be more autobiographical and deeply personal than ever before, including songs about the death of her parents. Along with this, she will touch on more universally relatable and culturally significant topics such as the recent Hurricane Sandy tragedy–and the limits of privacy placed on social media users in our modern age.
Jett believes the album was a full-band effort, and feels very much like the Blackhearts. But the contributions add an exciting element to the record as well: Dave Grohl, who has certainly been keeping busy so far in 2013, and Laura Jane Grace of Against Me!, who has bravely battled transphobic criticism from former fans of her band and who has recently announced solo tour dates for this month.
The first single from the album, "Any Weather," will be debuted next week on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
TS Dolls has an exclusive collection of HD solo tranny videos and photo sets with a smaller number of hardcore scenes. The site is part of the Tranny Pack network which features about a dozen sites with more solo content along with hardcore and fetish sites so it's a nicely varied tranny-themed network. TS Dolls by itself has been online for a handful of years and has an average sized number of scenes at just over one hundred so the bonus network is an important part of the membership equation.
Exclusive Tranny Episodes, Mostly Solo & Some Hardcore. This company and network does feature exclusive content and here you'll find sexy pro tranny models in original episodes that come in around 10-20 minutes each. They often feature solo striptease and jerking off with a lesser number of hardcore tranny/guy scenes. Along with the videos which are the focus there are supporting photo galleries so it's nice that they have photos for surfers intersted in those.
HD Full-Scene Downloads, Streaming & Mobile Files Too. Most scenes here have high-def 1280x720 full-episode WMV downloads so the quality is very solid here. A standard-def WMV option is also offered as is in-browser Flash streaming along with two mobile MP4 files. The photos have nice 1600x1067 online images along with zip file downloads.
Other Good Stuff:
Average Amount of Episodes, Update Pace Varies. TS Dolls has been online for around five years at the time of this review. The total number of episodes just tops one hundred so it's an okay amount of content but could certainly be deeper. It does lean on the included network a bit for additional quantity. The update pace here can be as fast as weekly but also gaps of 3-4 weeks can also occur between additions. They don't have a hard update schedule that they stick to so that's why the archive isn't larger after so many years.
Minor Negatives:
This Tranny Pack network site has exclusive scenes of solo tranny action & a little bit of hardcore too.
TS Dolls fits nicely into this company's Tranny Pack network and membership includes those bonus sites. Content is exclusive and the site has been active for a number of years with updates that continue. They aren't overly fast at adding content so the size of the site is smaller to mid-sized now and the extra network content is part of what helps to offset that.

Combo is nice and convenient, but head/cab is sexy....
Combo is nice and convenient, but head/cab is sexy....
- Dane
He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo.
I have 3 Combo's at the moment - Fender Super Sonic, Fender '59 Bassman LTD Reissue and a Mesa TA-30. Last time I got to play out I took the Mesa. It's a 2x12 and pretty heavy but it's ON WHEELS.
If I was starting over, I think I'd go 2x12 cab ON WHEELS and heads. With all the great "lunch box" type heads out there I'd really like a good cab then just pull a head to match my mood, venue and required power. I'd really like one of the PRS 2x12 Stealth Cab's...i wonder if they come with..... wait for it!
WHEELS - the best friend for a bad back
I like a head and cab separately, so that I can bring the cab to suit the size of the venue. Bring the 1x12 for bars, a 2x12 for clubs, and a 4x12 for outdoor venues, etc. The head separate from the cab gives me versatility.
"You come around here with these... SOUL DESTROYERS... clad in some kinda paisley rittenou... I don't even know what rittenou means." -Greg Koch re: PRS amps
Lack of room dictates having a 1x12 Koch combo. I did however recently picked up a Jensen loaded 2x10 to go under my Pro Junior, how to make an already great amp better and still keep a relatively small footprint!
Prefer head + cab in most cases. Don't need to match, all about getting the right tone.
Head and Cab for me
My Carvin Legacy 3 amp is 29lbs and 100watts
The 2X12 is 40 lbs.
I can make a case for either. This combo is quite heavy as is the 2-12. I have no preference.
The 4-10 sounds incredible but is once again on the heavy side. The Reason/D13 combo is nice, light, and sounds pretty good. Doesn't match all that well.
Last pics in this thread. Two completely different lightweight Matchless rigs. Sorry for the lack of PRS content.
I might have a thing for Matchless amps.
I prefer both!
PRS Singlecut 10top/birds. 57/08s. Violin Amber.
PRS Singlecut Trem 10top/birds. Tremonti's. Charcoal.
BadCat Hot Cat 30R Head
Bogner Shiva EL34 Non-Verb Head
BadCat 2x12 Light Up
Here is a shot of all of mine, including the little Fender Mustang 1 combo which I do not use anymore.
I much prefer heads, and that tiny Orange Micro Terror is louder than the new Blackstar HT5R head I picked up recently that is sitting in the 1x12 Orange cab with a Celestion Vintage 30 in it.
The Carvin V3M is overkill into the 4x12, it is 50 watts of pure tube power.

text: A Warning on Student Use of Wikipedia. Please Read. There are, indeed, a great many very good articles in Wikipedia, and I often find these articles to be rich in useful background information and links, especially regarding noncontroversial subjects. But the quality of the articles is not uniform, and in general, Wikipedia is not an appropriate source for students to cite in college papers. The articles in Wikipedia are written by anonymous contributors with no verifiable backgrounds as authorities in the subjects of the articles. Very often, contributors insert their own strongly held views into these articles, which Wikipedia indirectly encourages by shielding the identities of its contributors. This has sometimes contributed to Wikipedia being a significant source of Internet abuse. It has often become a venue for flame and revert wars exploited by all sorts of people trying to manipulate public opinion, including congressional staffers, campaign consultants, and just about anyone wanting to push a particular viewpoint on the public. Public people and controversial issues are the most common victims of this abuse. It is exceptionally difficult for credible people to constantly monitor and correct these abuses because of Wikipedia's on-going revert and revision capabilities. The "point of view pushers" tend to win such battles due to their persistence. No student should cite any Wikipedia article in any written work submitted to me as a class assignment. In general, try to cite original research as found in journal articles and books. |

Dordan Mfg. Co. Inc: 3D thermoformed packaging renderings
This allows the company to develop thermoformed packaging solutions that work in harmony with the various manufacturing, fulfillment and distribution demands of its clients' products.
Because package design and manufacture are becoming increasingly removed from one another, resulting in problems for the designer, manufacturer, and ultimately, brand owner, Dordan has invested in new 3D package design rendering technologies that communicate to the client the function of the package form, including how it is packed out and appears at retail.

Preview of World of Warcraft comic issue 15 {WoW}
Jan 21st 2009 4:13PM To be honest I've always had the impression that Arthas was intentionally allowed to exist, specifically by the Bronze Dragonflight. It gets into a LOT of conjecture, but there are two ways of looking at it.
1) Arthas is a very intentional result of events, similar to the opening of the gate letting the Orcs onto Azeroth -- the people of Azeroth need to be prepared for a much stronger evil; you force them to evolve by challenging them with Orc, Arthas etc..
1a) Arthas is actually needed AS the badass that he is .. if you look at Warcraft III as well as WOW itself, its very clear that there's a lot of premonition and manipulation from the future going on ( on the part of the Bronze dragonflight and the Infinite Dragonflight ). If you look at the events of Caverns of Time its clear who's on what side.. Bronze want to stabilize things, though for what reason -- it may not just be the benevolent preserving the timeline mentality. I mean look at Black Morass.. The Bronze have a clear opportunity to stop the pain and suffering of Azeroth by letting Medivh fail, but they don't.. why? Again maybe its more that if they let the Azerothian people sit around and do nothing, the 'threat' in the future will just roll them when they show up -- but if everyone is strengthened by the invasion by the Orcs ( and then the inclusion of the whole Horde powerblock on Azeroth later ) then they can stand up to that threat. And maybe.. just maybe Arthas is going to be needed too? Who's to say Arthas is actually ... evil.. ?
Maybe he knows too much -- he knows the future that will come and he's trying to find his own way of defending Azeroth. He always seems to be trying to craft strong lieutenants and captains, throughout the whole of Northrend this repeats. Perhaps he's trying to fortify for that day when he has to defend Azeroth from the unknown.. be it the 'elder gods' or something else.. Maybe Arthas is still a hero and we just don't know it?
Anyhow.. lots of digression -- I personally see a very fitting end or extension for Arthas into the 'redemption' path -- but to be honest, maybe he's not such a bad guy ( aside from all the 'turning people into zombies' portion )

Geraldo Rivera gets his NYT correction, but no apology
After plenty of bitching over the New York Times' claiming he staged a Hurricane Katrina rescue for the benefit of the cameras — and securing the support of WaPo media critic Howard Kurtz and even NYT public editor Byron Calame — Geraldo Rivera is finally getting his NYT correction.
But it's certainly no apology and sounds much closer to a snide aside. And that's why we love those folks on West 43rd.
The TV Watch column on Sept. 5 discussed broadcast journalists' undisguised outrage at the failings of Hurricane Katrina rescue efforts. It said reporters had helped stranded victims because no police officers or rescue workers were around, and added, "Fox's Geraldo Rivera did his rivals one better: yesterday, he nudged an Air Force rescue worker out of the way so his camera crew could tape him as he helped lift an older woman in a wheelchair to safety."The editors understood the "nudge" comment as the television critic's figurative reference to Mr. Rivera's flamboyant intervention. Mr. Rivera complained, but after reviewing a tape of his broadcast, The Times declined to publish a correction.
Numerous readers, however - now including Byron Calame, the newspaper's public editor, who also scrutinized the tape - read the comment as a factual assertion. The Times acknowledges that no nudge was visible on the broadcast.
Hear that? No nudge, even if Alessandra Stanley channeled one.

EDIBLE GEMS More than decorative, pomegranates add sparkle to an array of dishes |
Actually, things haven't changed much in the past couple of centuries. It was perhaps in the 19th century that a French writer counseled housewives to crown arrangements of fruit with pomegranates, cut open to reveal dozens of beautiful, shining seeds inside. Granted, the pomegranate is visually compelling. Since its introduction to Europe, the fruit's brilliant color and globe-shaped form have captivated artists and aristocrats alike. Images of the pomegranate have graced many paintings as well as the robes of royalty and clergy. But the real rewards of this fruit lie inside, in the form of those garnet-like seeds their crunchy centers cradled in soft, translucent flesh. Eating these seeds, crunchy part and all, releases the refreshing, sweet-tart taste that makes pomegranates so right for so many things.
A small bowlful of pomegranate seeds makes an unusual and delectable snack or dessert. The seeds can also be used as a glittering garnish on a range of foods, both sweet and savory. Scatter them on an appetizer of hummus or into a main course of meat stew. Experiment with a salad of lettuce, thinly sliced fennel, fresh orange segments and pomegranate seeds tossed with a simple vinaigrette. For dessert, try them sprinkled on cheesecake, rice pudding, custard, fruit yogurts or ice cream.
In the past, Europeans used pomegranate juice to make grenadine, a sweet, red syrup for flavoring drinks and desserts. Sadly, most grenadine is artificially flavored today. However, the fruit juice is still used in the Middle East to make pomegranate molasses, a dark condiment with a viscous texture and a complex, sour flavor. In the cuisines of Persia and the Republic of Georgia, pomegranate molasses is used to flavor meat, fish and vegetable dishes. The best known of these in the West is fesenjen, a Persian stew of poultry with ground walnuts and pomegranate molasses that is traditionally made during the fall. Late fall is also when the fruit appears in local markets. Look for pomegranates with a heavy feel and glossy, unblemished skin. The varieties we see are red, but pomegranates can range in color from yellow with pink blush to purplish red. Likewise, we are familiar with tart fruit, but in the Middle East, where a greater variety is grown, the taste varies from tart to sweet. Pomegranates are long-lasting and will keep for a week or more at room temperature and at least a couple of weeks refrigerated. Like figs, olives and grapes, they are an ancient and evocative fruit. Their numerous seeds (pomegranate means seeded apple in Old French) made them a symbol of fertility and plenty throughout the Old World. Pomegranates are mentioned in the Bible, in the poetry of Homer and in the plays of Shakespeare. In Greece, the fruit was associated with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Probably native to Mesopotamia, pomegranates were cultivated in Egypt before the time of Moses. After the exodus, it is said that the Hebrews wandering in the desert yearned for the cooling pomegranates of Egypt. Pomegranates eventually made it east to India and China, probably around the beginning of the Christian era. The fruit was introduced to Europe in early medieval times. In later centuries, Spanish conquistadors brought it to America, where it took hold in the warmer climates of California and the South. Today, you may see this regal fruit adding flair to holiday decorations several in a bowl, forming the glowing centerpiece of a dining table, a few fruit artfully placed on a mantelpiece along with pine boughs and cones, or small, dried fruit woven into Christmas wreaths. On these occasions, remember also the simple, sensual pleasure of eating pomegranates. Andrew Jayasundera is a publications specialist and freelance food writer.

I tried to make the website work fast and responsive. I was planning to use themes from Elegant Themes or Rocket Themes but their response time was over 2 sec even on my local. Then I found this theme called "responsive" at WordPress theme options and used it. Main idea was to make the web site work fast!
Is the page working fast? Any comments and suggestions, especially from SEO perspective?
Seems pretty fast to me.
One thing I would suggest is that you say who you are, or a bit more about the site and who's behind it. Anyone interested in such information is going to want to know what your angle is, so to speak, and whether your information can be trusted—since you may be a legitimate source of unbiased information or a nut job pushing a barrow ... as there is a lot of that on the web.
Validation errorsline 5 column 123 - Error: Attribute xmlns:og not allowed here.line 5 column 123 - Warning: Attribute with the local name xmlns:og is not serializable as XML 1.0.line 90 column 84 - Error: No space between attributes.
<title>What is Islam about? |What is Islam about?</title>Why is the title repeated ??
Yes the website is very fast. I have average internet and I did a test in Chrome, Firefox, Safari & Internet Explorer.
I think the website needs more visuals because the theme is quite calm. Pictures with people in them are proven to have positive influence on the browsers experience on a website.So do that it will help you in many ways.
Maybe the homepage can be a bit more descriptive of what the visitor could do on the website. It's obviously for learning about Islam but there are a couple of things missing.Where is your credibility?? Why should I believe your information, if you make the visitor see you as an expert they will want to browse around.
For SEO, I still believe in backlinks. Get some good ones, no irrelevent.. mehh you can learn about that in this forum no need to duplicate content. which is also a thing you need to avoid on your website. Do you use google analytics, if not I would start doing so!
Now something else, the topics of your website seem not organised to me. There is a menu with Muslim things, Islam things, Islamic things. And then the topics are quite random.. Religion, Ramadan, Peace.. I mean maybe you should make some good categories so people can find what they need better. And maybe explain things a bit better.-- So have the menu with clear categories ''like: islam and then all things islam related there'' And try to explain a lot, act as if the visitor knows nothing.
Okay that's all I could think of I hope it helps you improve a bit! Goodluck,Milan
It's a interesting idea to promote understanding of Islam. Who is the target audience, followers or those seeking to understand the faith better. At the moment I see it as a site for those of Muslim faith, maybe more of a focus promoting a positive side of Islam (being a peaceful religion) to dispel any negative views of those who aren't Muslim. It currently looks to much like a word-press site, but it serves good purpose of being very informative about Islam
i think u can more improve for the footer..

Disney adds rides in Hong Kong park
Critics say the theme park just hasn't clicked yet with its Chinese visitors.
Kelvin Wong
Bloomberg News
February 28, 2006
Walt Disney Co. will introduce three attractions at its Hong Kong theme park this summer and said its performance during May's "golden week holiday" in China will show whether it has regained the public's confidence.
The three attractions include a game based on cartoon character Stitch, a new interactive water ride, and Autopia, in which riders drive small model cars around a track, park managing director Bill Ernest said Monday.
Public dissatisfaction over the park's management heightened during the Lunar New Year holiday when lawmakers criticized Disneyland for underestimating the number of tourists from China. Many ticket holders were turned away from the park after Disneyland said it had reached capacity.
Disney will adjust the park's ticketing system after many people endured long lines during the holiday, which fell on the last week of January and the first two weeks of February.
Hong Kong legislators also have accused the park, which opened in September, of failing to understand the habits and culture of local and mainland Chinese.
"We have spent a lot of time to address many questions," said Ernest, adding the best way to show the park has learned its lesson "is to have a successful May."
The park's management will closely monitor the situation during the one-week labor day holiday in May, when thousands of mainland tourists are expected to visit the city, he said.
A spokeswoman for Hong Kong Disney, Esther Wong, would not say how much was being spent to construct the three attractions.
Wong said the Hong Kong government is expected to finish reclaiming land by 2008 for the construction of the second phase of the park, which now covers 310 acres.
Ernest said the park will not ask for additional investment from the Hong Kong government for the expansion. Disney spent $314 million for its 43 percent stake in Hong Kong Disneyland on Lantau Island, its first park in China.
The Hong Kong's government, which owns the remainder, paid $2.4 billion for the park's construction, according to official figures.

Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. - Walt Disney
Where's my Pirates and HM??????
That sure isn't a joke about the long lines, when Joyce took me on my birthday, it took me 10 minutes to walk all the way to the end of the line....and that was just for the park entrance, not including the ticket line. I think if we had to stay at the end, it would have taken a good 1 to 2 hours.
I have a video of the walk there from the beginning if I can ever figure out how to upload videos.
All the people will look up and shout: "Save us!" and I'll whisper...'no'.
Who watches the watchmen?
They'll have to add a lot more rides there eventually. I know looking at all the rides they have there so far, they hardly have anything at all yet!

2:30-3:30 p.m. | Academic Session Two 2A: "Elect or Select? How Should We Choose Our Judges?" Charles Jacobs, associate professor of political science Political pundits and scholars alike are locked in a debate over how best to select both state and federal judges to the bench. Some, like former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Conner want all judges to be appointed to insure fairness. Advocates of greater democratic control argue that the people should be able to influence the content of the law through the selection of those who wear judicial robes. This presentation offers a theoretical discussion of each approach and some recent data from the State of Wisconsin regarding the public's view on the matter. 2B: "Please Release Me: The Art of Mystery in Fiction" C.J. Hribal '79, professor of english visiting from Marquette University Do we read fiction to be surprised? Pleased? Entertained? Our popular literature often does that by withholding information from us, essentially by tricking us, keeping crucial information secret for "the big reveal" at the end. But literature can be more than a bag of tricks. As a student at St. Norbert College, Dr. Bob Boyer and Dr. Ken Zahorski informed C.J. and fellow classmates that the purpose of all literature was "escape and recovery." Escape: an opportunity to leave our lives so that we could momentarily enter into someone else's. Recovery: a coming back into your own life afterwards, bearing back with you some elemental truth about how to live the life you actually have. Literature does this through mystery. This lecture will look at how writers create mystery in fiction, paradoxically often by giving away up front what lesser writers try to keep hidden till the end. 2C: "The Economic Impact of St. Norbert College on Northeast Wisconsin" Sandy Odorzynski, professor of economics Three acknowledged and well-known drivers of the metro Green Bay economy are the NFL Packers, paper, and health care industries. But SNC's economic footprint is also significant in the region. Using the nationally recognized IMPLAN software and internal College data, Sandy documented the impacts of SNC activity on the local economy during a recent sabbatical leave. Learn about job creation, regional multipliers, and economic activity resulting from the College budget, special building projects, students, visitors, and employee spending.

This awareness presents challenges to the traditional Christian understanding of God as all good and omnipotent. In this session, we will examine distinctive approaches utilized by contemporary Christian theologians in addressing this challenge. These approaches range from a 'tweaking' of traditional responses to a radical reconceptualization of God and of God's relationship with the world. 3B: "Abbot Pennings: the back story." Rev. Andrew Ciferni, O. Praem. '64, Director of Center for Norbertine Studies The St Norbert family is rather familiar with the story of the College's founder from the time of his arrival in our land in 1893 to his death in 1954.This lecture will recount the facts of his life from his birth in Gemert,Holland until his setting out for the 'American Mission.' Some conclusions will be offered about how his life as a priest in Berne Abbey shaped the foundation of the College and the growth of the Norbertine community in America. |

10:30 - 11:30 a.m. | Academic Session Four 4A: "An Economic Analysis of the Rise and Growth of Megachurches" Marc von der Ruhr, professor of economics The 2008 Pew study of religion in America shows that the U.S. religious market is very fluid. Individuals feel comfortable employing their rights as consumers to switch between religions. Naturally, as people switch affiliation, some churches grow while others contract. The session will review trends in religious switching and then apply economic models to analyze the strategies megachurches may employ to successfully compete with other churches in a religious market for attendees. These strategies involve how megachurches have signaled their fit to potential members in an effort to grow and how megachurches encourage new(er) attendees to deepen their commitment to the church over time. Survey data comparing various aspects of denominational life provide support for the theoretical predictions. 4B: "Everything Isn't as It Seems: How Common Sense Fools Us" Alexa Trumpy, assistant professor of sociology Why is the Mona Lisa one of the most famous paintings in the world? Is it because of Leonardo da Vinci's artistic skill or because it was part of a highly publicized theft and two vandalization attempts? Whether we realize it or not, the explanations we employ to explain the world around us are often incorrect. This talk will draw on a number of examples from art, literature, business, and history to show how everything is not always as clear as it seems. Understanding how common sense fails us allows us to better anticipate the future and understand the present. |

The title of this post must seem odd considering Angels' manager Mike Scioscia was himself a pretty good catcher in his day. Not a great catcher, but a solid one. He played 13 seasons in the big leagues, all of which were with the Dodgers from 1980 to 1992. He enjoyed a career-best 5.6 fWAR season in 1985; the season lovingly displayed in this video brought to you by this week's Annotated Boxscore.
Scioscia wasn't exactly a barnburner offensively with a .259/.344/.356 slash line and 68 career home runs, but was a two-time All-Star and hit well enough to support his above-average defense. Baseball Reference compares him most closely to catchers like Butch Wynegar, Alan Ashby, and managing contemporary Joe Girardi.
So why does Mike Scioscia hate good catchers?
It seems obvious that he does. After all, he's used Jeff Mathis more than anyone else at the position this season. In his 73 games played, Mathis has a .180/.228/.261 slash line with two home runs and is at best an average defender. And this is not some one-year aberration. Mathis has a career .196/.258/.302 slash line with a 45 wRC+. That means that offensively, he hasn't even been half as good as the average player over his career. In parts of seven seasons, Mathis has cost his team 1.7 wins according to FanGraphs. As Sam Miller wonderfully described on Monday, Mathis was once a promising prospect, but he's now 28 and showing no signs of improvement; it may be time to find an alternative.
Unfortunately for the Angels, the backup catcher this season has been Bobby Wilson. Wilson is also 28 and hasn't fared much better in his career than Mathis with a 73 wRC+ in 102 career games played. He's worse than Mathis defensively and is basically a replacement level catcher.
It appears as though the best catching option for the Halos was traded to acquire Vernon Wells (himself a replacement-level player in 2011). Yes, Mike Napoli, the man traded to Toronto and then later traded to Texas happens to be posting a career season in the Lone Star heat for the team the Angels happen to be chasing in the standings. Currently, Napoli has a .295/.389/.589 slash line and a 164 wRC+. As he did last season in Anaheim, Napoli has split time between first base and catcher, but he has made significant improvements behind the plate. He's by no means a Molina brother, but he is no worse than Mathis. Even last year, Scioscia refused to play Napoli at catcher, giving him only 59 starts there despite his improved defensive numbers.
This season, the Angels have given some time to top prospect catcher Hank Conger, a player ranked fourth in the organization by Baseball America this past winter. Conger was a first round draft pick in 2006 and he rose through the minors with a .298/.361/.466 slash line, including a .300/.383/.470 line in AAA over the past two seasons.
Conger has played in 53 games this season with the Angels, but has started only 44 at catcher. There's little question that there is significant work to be done defensively for Conger as he ranks as a far-below-average defensive backstop, and he hasn't exactly lit it up at the Major League level at the plate either with a .204/.283/.340 slash line. Despite that, he has been no worse than Mathis or Wilson and he certainly has far more potential being five years younger with a much higher ceiling.
GM Tony Reagins was the one who traded Napoli, but there's no question that Scioscia was the one who ran him out of town, and now Conger seems to be at risk of getting the same treatment. Since being recalled from AAA two weeks ago, Conger has played in only three games, starting only two. He's 0-11 in those three appearances, but should be given the playing time to work through his offensive struggles. Sitting him on the bench in favour of Mathis is downright foolish.
Despite the mismanagement of both Scioscia and Reagins, the Angels find themselves only three-and-a-half games behind a vastly superior Rangers team. A Rangers team that has received 3.9 wins above replacement from Napoli, while Mathis and Wilson have combined to be right around that replacement line. It isn't a stretch to say that if Napoli was the Angels starting catcher, they may just be in first place today.

Some fancy flashbacks introduce Bobby (Denzel Washington) and Stig (Mark Wahlberg), crooks casing out a small-town bank not far from the Mexican border. They plan to rob Mexican drug dealer Papi Greco (Edward James Olmos), but find an extra $40 million stashed in safe-deposit boxes.
The two learn they are both undercover agents, but not until Stig wounds Bobby during their getaway. Bobby turns to Deb (Paula Patton), a DEA agent, for help, while Stig finds out that he has been double-crossed by his Navy colleagues. Overnight, Stig and Bobby become targets of the DEA, Navy Intelligence, the CIA, and Papi's enforcers.
Betrayals continue on both sides, with Stig and Bobby alternately capturing villains or being taken prisoner. The heroes fight each other as much as their opponents, but ultimately team up for a final confrontation on Papi's ranch in Mexico.
Working from a comic book by Steven Grant, screenwriter Blake Masters gives plenty of space for Bobby and Stig to spar, and not as much time for supporting characters to make their mark. Paula Patton is a lovely femme fatale, and James Marsden (Stig's treacherous buddy) is effective enough, but Bill Paxton overplays his role as the meanest heavy in the plot.
As Bobby, Washington gives another effortless performance that dominates the movie. Always at ease, he shambles through scenes that would test other actors. And patter like "You're saying that to say what?" might actually work in the real world. Wahlberg seems to struggle at times to emulate his partner's swagger, but scores points with some winningly bad jokes.
Director Baltasar Kormákur worked previously with Wahlberg on Contraband, a standard B-movie that promised more than it delivered. Here he adds style and polish to material that doesn't always deserve it—like helicopter shots for a simple car chase—but fails to set up crucial scenes convincingly.
Not a lot of 2 Guns makes much sense, from the loot to the torture and massive amounts of weaponry on display. The action scenes look punishing but rarely advance the story, and Stig and Bobby are too smart—or should be—to fall for the frequent plot reversals. Not only that, but viewers should be able to predict every turn in the story. That doesn't mean 2 Guns isn't entertaining, Like the B-movies of an earlier generation, it's fast, tough and smarter than it has to be.

Essential Stewart James
by Stewart James and Allan Slaight
Canadian Stewart James was the most prolific inventor of magic in the twentieth century. Where most magicians invent a handful of magic routines during the course of their life, Stewart James created over one thousand. His prodigious output has been recorded in two mammoth publications totally over 2,700 pages. James' vast body of work has now been distilled to 50 of his "greatest tricks", The Essential Stewart James.
Allan Slaight, co-editor of "Stewart James In Print" and author of "The James File", asked dozens of Stewart James' aficionados including Max Maven, Michael Weber, Bob Farmer, Stephen Minch, Bill Goodwin, Gordon Bean, David Ben, Roy Walton, Charles Reynolds, Gabe Fajuri, Steve Beam, and Peter Duffie among others, to whittle over 1,000 of James? creations down to their fifty favorite, in other words, the essential Stewart James.
For those who own the earlier Stewart James tomes ("Stewart James In Print: The First Fifty Years" and "The James File") but are intimated by the size and scope of the material, this book is for you! The Essential Stewart James serves as a tourist guide through the land of James. For those who are encountering this wily Canadian wizard for the first time, this book serves as a primer to the brilliance of the man, his methods and his magic.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 1
Posted By: aalDate: February 24, 1997 at 00:26:06
I am type o+ and have very mild hypothyroidism, which manifests itself mostly by cold sensitivity. I take a low dosage of synthroid, but still am sensitive to cold. I think kelp and to a lesser extent bladderwrack helps. Is there any danger of taking too much iodine? How can I determine how much I should take?

The Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology (MCP) Program offers interdisciplinary graduate training in the field of molecular and cellular pharmacology. The primary emphasis is doctoral training in molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology with a focus on integrating these methodologies with modern pharmacology. Other related degree programs under the direction of program faculty are cellular and molecular biology, environmental toxicology, neuroscience, biomolecular chemistry, and genetics.
The MCP Program emphasizes study of the basic molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the regulation of cellular events and cellular signal transduction mechanisms and the interaction of hormones, drugs, and chemicals with living systems. The faculty provides expertise in such challenging areas as the molecular events related to neurotransmitter receptor G-protein effector signaling; molecular structure of neurotransmitter receptors; genetic approaches to mechanisms for elucidating synaptic transmission; molecular mechanisms of action drugs of abuse and neurotransmitter transporters; phosphoinositide-generated second messengers and their regulation of membrane protein function and cell growth; regulation of tissue-specific gene transcription; molecular mechanisms of erythropoiesis; molecular mechanisms of leukemogenesis; regulation of hormone and neurotransmitter release; mechanism of action of polypeptide hormones; peptide-hormone receptors; control of steroid synthesis; induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes; chemical initiation and prevention of cancer; mechanisms and regulation of antibiotic action and resistance. Aside from providing insight into drug action, studies in pharmacology have led to important advances in our understanding of fundamental biological processes.

"I'm comfortable with it," said council member Allyn Thurley. "It does have a few warts on it, but given the other alternatives this seems to be a much better way to move forward."
"I wish there was a magic bullet that took care of all of the problems. I would love it. If somebody had one, I would gladly take that bullet," Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) Project Manager Kyle Lake told the council.
Lake acknowledged the project's challenges and its long and controversial history caught him by surprise. After working on the massive ROC 52 project in Rochester, Lake thought the Gilmore Avenue project would be simple and easy. It is just a couple of blocks, right? he thought. "I hadn't read anything about it, didn't know anything about it," he explained to the council. Lake, who began in January, is the third project manager for the project in just over a year. The troubled intersection has been the topic of debate for over a decade, according to city staff. "Now that I've got my feet wet with it, this is a challenging project," Lake continued.
Years ago, Mn/DOT consultants studied a wide range of potential solutions, including a roundabout, before the agency selected the least expensive, minimum-build option last year and announced plans to move forward with it this spring.
"I did laugh," Lake confided, when he first heard the name "because it does imply, 'Let's just do the cheapest thing we can.' While I'm not going to disagree with that philosophy, it's little deeper than that," he said, adding, "it's more of minimum value from Mn/DOT." Mn/DOT selected that minimal option and eschewed making changes to Gilmore Avenue because "they felt like anything that was done [at Gilmore Avenue and Highway 61], from a Mn/DOT standpoint, really wasn't going to improve the operations without spending lots of money and acquiring lots of right of way," Lake told the council. He acknowledge the minimum-build option would not improve safety at Gilmore Avenue.
Is not clear whether Mn/DOT will proceed with the new plan. The agency only budgeted enough for the $2 million minimum-build option. Previous estimates for designs similar to the new one were around $6 million. Lake said he thinks that is too high and was hopeful that much of the roadway will not need to be replaced. However, if Mn/DOT proceeds with the new plan, it will need to secure additional funding. Lake has indicated that the city might need to help share some of the costs for the project and said that pursuing the new plan would likely set construction back to 2016.
City Manager Judy Bodway met with neighboring business to gauge their support, opposition, or concerns. "Most of the business I talked to following the meeting said they liked the concept," she said. However, HyVee had concerns, Bodway and Lake, who has also talked with neighboring businesses, acknowledged. One concern Bodway, Lake, and council members said might affect HyVee is that traffic would be tempted to cut through the HyVee parking lot to access businesses east of the grocery store. "They're going to do it at 30 mph, and they're going to do it," said council member Gerry Krage.
Lake also noted that HyVee felt that the minimum-build option "works better for the proposed convenience store they're talking about" building just west of the grocery store.
Last fall, Bodway had supported the minimum-build alternative, noting that it did not require the seizure of business property. At last week's meeting she pointed out the advantages of the new plan, explaining that, with the exception of HyVee, neighboring businesses that had previously supported the minimum-build plan were now supporting the new plan.
Lake promised to think of a better name for the new design than its current moniker: modified 7B version two. Council members joked it should be called "Kyle."
"Are you going to be the engineer" through construction? council member George Borzyskowksi asked Lake.
"That's a hard question to answer when I'm probably the fourth or fifth person you've talked to in the last two years," Lake responded.
More information on the new design, the minimum-build design, and the project backstory is available at www.winonapost.com. A full map of the conceptual, modified 7B version two design is available at www.dot.state.mn.us/d6/projects/hwy61winona/documents.html.
