Blue poster Belfaire explains Blizzard's stance on multiboxing {WoW}
Mar 13th 2008 10:34AM In Dark Age of Camelot there were tons of "Buff Bots". Not played characters per say, just another toon on a seperate box to buff your group before they ran Emian Macha looking for some RvR action. It got so bad Mythic had to add a max range to the buffs.
Buff Bots were a big reason DAOC was so successful.
Kalgan confirms the Life Tap and Flametongue rollbacks, offers up some Arena numbers {WoW}
Mar 6th 2008 10:25AM The flametounge buff was ridiculous.
How about removing the ability for the enemy to see which totem is which.
Also, Cyclone needs to be taken away from druids. Period.
My suggestion is to make it a deep shaman talent. 70% chance to get cycloned when destroying a totem.

Selwyn Herson's Best of the Best
When golfers hear about Selwyn Herson's accomplishment—playing the top 100 courses in the world—they almost always ask what his favorites were. He finds it impossible to answer. "There were twenty to twenty-five that I truly loved," he says, "but I can't rank or compare them. They were special to me in different ways." Here, with his commentary, is an alphabetical listing of some of his favorite experiences.
Augusta National (#5, Georgia). "It was a thrill to play the course where I've seen so many great contests on TV. I hit an eight-iron on number twelve but didn't know whether it was going to land on the green, in the water or in a bunker. (It caught the edge of the green.) On the greens it was like putting down your windshield."
Cape Kidnappers (#27 on the 2005 list, New Zealand). "Spectacular scenery. You play holes built out on the fingers of cliffs, looking down at the ocean. Tom Doak has created a monster. It's hard, hard, hard, but afterward you want to go back for more."
Casa de Campo (#34, Dominican Republic). "The ocean holes here are some of the best in the world."
Cruden Bay (#76, Scotland). "I didn't have high expectations, but the unusual holes and the scenery were magnificent."
Cypress Point (#2, California). "Walking in heaven. Six holes in the trees, six holes in the sand dunes, six holes by the sea."
Hirono (#35, Japan). "I liked the course, but for me it was the total Japanese experience that made Hirono so memorable. Everything is so different: the caddies, the two-hour break for lunch after nine holes, the huge staff weeding the grounds by hand."
Merion, East (#14, Pennsylvania). "It forces you all the time to hit the ball closer to trouble to have a better entry angle into the green. All day long you're dealing with temptation."
National Golf Links (#20, New York). "For the layout, the beauty and the lobster-tail lunch."
Pine Valley (#1, New Jersey). "The course seems like it's been there for a million years. Amazing how well the holes fit into the land."
Royal Melbourne, Composite (#8, Australia). "The layout is so subtle, so clever. It's a very challenging place to play."
Sand Hills (#11, Nebraska). "As if you were playing through sand dunes by the sea even though you are in the middle of the country. The course was designed around more than 100 naturally formed bunkers."
Shinnecock Hills (#4, New York). "Hard. Breaks your back. Wears you down."
St. Andrews, Old (#6, Scotland). "I was in awe. The layout, the history, the clubhouse, the town—you can't compare it to anything."

I have a single NIS server with about 30 NIS clients. All machines are on RHEL 3-4. I need to change the domain name. For the clients and server, is it as simple as editing:
then restart all NIS services?
Also, do the clients need the NIS server listed in their hosts files, or will DNS work?

This is the first time that I have used a Lekala Pattern and I will definitely be making more from this company. Pattern download was a mere 99cents + they create the pattern to your custom measurements. Pretty happy with the end result! I would class this dress as intermediate, particularly because of all of the pivot corners, I'm over them!

This dress looks amazing on you and you have sewn perfectly. Well done!! I have seen the prices for these patterns and didn't think 99c could be possible but obviously it is. I may have to do a bit of research

Welcome to the online exhibition of Vivat Rex!, celebrating the 500th anniversary of King Henry VIII's accession to the throne.
Visit the full exhibition from September 24 - December 30, 2010.
The first of the Tudor monarchs, King Henry VII, gained his throne at the Battle of Bosworth, on August 22, 1485. He married Elizabeth of York, uniting the royal houses of Lancaster and York, and they had four children who survived infancy. Their elder son, Prince Arthur, married Catherine of Aragon, but he died without an heir at the age of fifteen. Henry VII himself died on April 21, 1509, and two days later his second son, not yet eighteen, was proclaimed King Henry VIII. Within two months, the new king married his brother's widow, having received papal dispensation to do so some five years earlier. What they wanted most was a son and heir, but this was not to be: a son, named Henry for his father, was born on New Year's Day, 1511, but he died seven weeks later.
Pictured to the right is Henry VIII's birthplace—Greenwich Palace (earlier named Placentia, "the palace of courtesy"). The palace was demolished in the seventeenth century, and the Old Royal Navy College now stands on the same site.
Vivat Rex! is on view September 24 - December 30, 2010
Monday-Saturday 10am-5pm.
Admission is free.

I live in Knoxville, TN, and am in the slow process of deweeding a mostly Bermuda lawn. I am not 100% organic, but I prefer a non-chemical approach. I've taken a long view in my efforts to rid the yard of copious amounts of dallisgrass, content with the fact that it may take a couple of years to reach an acceptable lawn-to-weed ratio. I maintain good cultural practices -- regularly mowing very low and watering deeply only when needed. At the start of the spring, while the Bermuda was still dormant, I applied glysophate to the lawn to attack the dallisgrass. It worked well, and the Bermuda is starting to fill in the brown spots created by the killoff. It is also very easy to pull what weeds are popping up in (or returning to) the dead areas. Just last month, I applied my first round of urea (46-0-0), which is where my question comes in. As expected, the Bermuda responded very well to the urea. But within the last week or so, the weeds have started sending seed heads up like nobody's business. Is the weed seeding activity because of the time of year, or because of the nitrogen application? The fertilizer application correlated to our first stretch of summer-like temperatures, so I'm assuming that's the cause. But, it'd be nice to know if the fertilizer I applied contributed to the unwanted plants' sudden desire to multiply. Thanks for any insight you may have. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Can you post a picture of the weed seeding activity? |
- Posted by mistermango 7 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 9, 13 at 20:40
The first of a few photos to come is attached. I mowed about 24 hours before these photos were taken. Before mowing, I snipped several dozen tall seed heads off the dallisgrass to prevent broadcasting the seeds. During mowing, I probably mulched another dozen or so that I had missed. What's in the lawn now are likely younger than 24 hours old. What I noticed last summer--my first season in the house--was that the seeds became apparent, it seems, only when the dallisgrass stalk shot higher than a couple of inches tall. These are growing prostrate, making the ability to trim them before mowing problematic. I don't think these seed heads are necessarily unusual. I just think the timing of my first nitrogen application a week or so before their sudden (and prolific) emergence may be more than just a coincidence. |

"regularly mowing very low" I know you said you regularly mow very low, but in the pictures it looks like you haven't mowed in a while. The fertilizer will make everything grow faster including the weeds, which will form seeds if you let it grow too high as you have noticed. You need to be mowing twice a week or so depending on how short you are really mowing. This will cause your bermuda to want to grow horizontal instead of vertical and can choke out most weeds. Also, most weeds (not all) don't like being cut short often, which can kill them off eventually. How short and how often are you really mowing? |
- Posted by Brandon0413 none (My Page) on Mon, Jun 10, 13 at 13:31
" I mowed about 24 hours before these photos were taken" I just noticed you said you mowed 24 hours before the photos were taken. In that case it doesn't look like you're mowing very low. Bermuda likes to be cut very short. Anywhere from well under an inch to 1.25 inches. I keep my front lawn under an inch with a manual reel mower and about 1.25 in the back with a rotary mower. How low are you mowing? |
- Posted by mistermango 7 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 10, 13 at 19:07
I have my mower set to the next to lowest deck setting. I can't set it at the lowest setting, as my yard isn't level enough to pull it off. I mow twice a week, typically. This last week was an exception, since we had many days of rain that prevented me from mowing for nearly a week. In the mow before these photos were taken, I had the deck set on the third-from-lowest setting, as to not take off too much at once. |
- Posted by Brandon0413 none (My Page) on Tue, Jun 11, 13 at 17:11
Sounds like you're doing what you can, then. I'm pretty sure I've had that weed in your pictures in my lawn before and it had seeds even though it was cut very short. It was all growing outwards horizontally, which is how it avoided the lawnmower blades. I only had a few and pulled them easily. If you don't have too many maybe you can pull them. Also, just to clarify, my statement about cutting height is for hybrid bermuda. I get the feeling you may have common bermuda, which should not be cut as short as hybrid, but I'm not sure how short. You can find the info easily by searching. |

Democratic leader calls for moratorium on social issue bills
By Matt Mikus firstname.lastname@example.com January 7, 2013 2:34PM
Updated: February 9, 2013 6:17AM
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana House Democratic Leader Scott Pelath of Michigan City set the platform Monday for the minority party, calling for a two-year moratorium on social issue law; correcting errors made by former State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett; and supporting the middle class.
At the first day of the four-month session, Pelath outlined the goals Democrats had for 2013, and asked Republicans for a moderate approach.
"We must make sure that the power of government does not shift far from the center," Pelath, "The majority has duties not to misinterpret the reasons they were elected, and I call upon you to show enlightened restraint in your goals."
Calling for two-years without debating social issues, Pelath explained that lawmakers could solve a number of problems if they don't waste time arguing over "the deeply sensitive matters of who loves who, of human reproduction, and of women's health."
He explained that Democrats in the House would be willing to support efforts that helped restore traditional public education, and provide support to the working middle class.
"When we believe you are doing what is best for Indiana," he said "we will help you. When we believe you are misguided or misinformed, we will critique you. When we believe you are leading the state in the wrong direction, we will offer the people alternatives."
He also called for more resources for the Department of Child Services.
Republican Floor leader Bill Friend, of Macy, said leaders of his party hope that a bipartisan spirit would lead the way forward.
"We want everyone to reach across the aisle," he said.
Speaker of the house Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, said he hopes the session progresses in a civil manner and was encouraged by the day's responses. Regarding Pelath's call for a two-year ban on social issues, Bosma said it's hard to define what consists as a social issue, and not issue any kind of moratorium.

It's a depressing thought: With today's nearly universal adoption of digital music, most people have gotten used to a lower standard of audio quality. Many of the music files out there were ripped at low quality and a lot of the stock headphones bundled with smartphones and MP3 players simply aren't that good.
However, if you're one of those people who really appreciate a finer quality of music, you know it doesn't have to be this way. You've probably already compiled a collection of lossless files with higher bitrates, so now you just need a set of headphones that are worthy of this great-sounding music. The Sennheiser MOMENTUM headphones are what you're looking for – read on to find out why.
Since the company was founded in 1945, Sennheiser has been dedicated to the goal of pursuing the perfect audio experience. That's why they packed the MOMENTUM headphones with cutting-edge, high-end headphone technology like open-type design, electrostatics, one-way transducers, and ring radiator drivers. The 18-ohm transducers provide exquisitely detailed stereo sound that ensures even the most subtle elements of your music come through clearly.
Since you wear headphones while you're out and about, you probably run into situations where the noise around you interferes with the enjoyment of your favourite 80s glam rock playlist. The MOMENTUM headphones feature an on-ear design that uses passive noise isolation to help block out external noise. Even when you're on a noisy plane or walking near a construction site you'll be able to focus on your music without having to crank up the volume.
Headphones are meant to be heard, but it doesn't hurt for them to be easy on the eyes too. The MOMENTUM headphones are designed with luxurious, breathable, leather-like Alcantara material on the headband and earcups that makes the headphones look as good as they sound. The Alcantara material, sourced from Milan, also has the added benefit of being durable and providing sweat and water resistance.
The metal-constructed earcup slider not only provides a touch of sophisticated style, it's also extremely durable and helps you find the perfect fit.
Since you'll want to wear these headphones all day long, it's great that they include an extra cable with in-line smart remote and microphone. The remote is handy for taking calls and managing tracks without even having to touch your smartphone.
For those times when you want to put the headphones away but still have them around, the MOMENTUM headphones come with a convenient hard case. It'll protect your headphones while making it easy to carry with you.
You don't want to be one of those people who accept mediocre sound quality for your music. With the top-end audio and rich feature set provided by the Sennheiser MOMENTUM headphones you can enjoy the best sound experience, everywhere you go.

My husband and I need a new set of bedding and we need help.I am 5'4" and 170 he is 6'1" and 185. He can sleep on anything. I wake up sometimes with shoulder and hip hurting, I am a side sleeper. We have looked and are confused and he thinks we need a pillow top. But after reading I don't think we need a pillow top. Also he sweats some nights and not sure of memory foam, we did have a 3" memory foam topper that we purchased at Sam's and put on bed and we both got up with more pain than ever and gave this away.We are both side sleepers and want a good nights sleep. Daisy
Hi Daisy. Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material. Being so, it softens as it warms. After a couple of hours in bed, the mattress will soften from your body's heat and not feel the same as it did in the store. It also reflects that heat back to you. The slow recovery is a problem when trying to change position. The deeper the dent, the longer it takes to recover.
Latex would be a good choice for you. The best value in latex is Sealy, not so much because it's better, but because you can easily shop it, which keeps everyone honest and the prices lower. There are 6 choices in the Springfree line, but the starting model may be all you'd need. It's comfortable without being too soft. That will help keep you cooler too...not sinking too much into the mattress. The model names are different everywhere, and that model is called Beachside here. To shop for it, you'd ask for the level 1 plush...either as a Sealy or a Stearns & Foster. You can also find it in a Bassett Furniture Gallery with Carrington Chase label...here also, the level 1 plush.

Months in Fleet: Four
Miles to Date: 8,830
With winter finally relegated to a bad memory, it's time to really start enjoying our Nissan GT-R. We did have one boring GT-R experience this spring - taking it in for its 6000-mile service, where it got a routine oil change and a clean bill of health. That's exactly the kind of boring you want from your high-strung supercar. Happily, the GT-R is otherwise anything but boring.
It starts the minute you pull open the door and plop yourself inside. Assistant editor David Zenlea was blown away by the exotic interior, which he says "reminds me of a playing Microsoft Flight Simulator on my old PC in the late '90s. It also shows that a mainline manufacturer can craft a unique, appealing cabin while keeping costs reasonable (are you listening, Chevy?)."
Once underway, naturally, it gets even better. Want to own your own roller coaster? Buy a GT-R. "The sensations it renders during hard acceleration, braking, and cornering are exhilarating, addictive, and second only to Cedar Point's Millennium Force," noted another staffer. "If only it took a souvenir photo of my expression whenever I reach 1.2 g of acceleration..."
Of course, the excitement of the GT-R is not for the driver alone - it's shared with the general public. As web producer Evan McCausland observed: "Chances are, if you're flaunting your GT-R in front of someone under age 35 without eliciting an enthusiastic response, they're Amish." There is, however, a bit of a downside to all the attention - occasionally you disappoint your public. "Sorry, folks, I can't do a burnout, no matter how nicely you ask," continues McCausland. "Even if I really wanted to waste both vulcanized rubber and my driveline at the same time, I couldn't - the GT-R channels power to the front wheels before any smoky drama happens."
But for all the excitement this car causes, there doesn't appear to be any sense of community among GT-R owners. "It seems we don't have the only GT-R in the area," noted another driver. "I passed a white one headed southbound on US-23 on my way into work. I tried to initiate some sort of GT-R driver wave/signal/whatever, but got nothing in return. I'm not surprised - he's likely already peeved at the never-ending attention his GT-R attracts."
Or perhaps he was just frustrated that public highways make for such an insufficient playground for his insanely capable supercar. "Despite the rawness of the GT-R, it's utterly emotionless at times. You can rocket up to speeds well into triple digits and not realize it because there is no drama," says senior web editor Phil Floraday. "Since the car is always making noise, but never gets incredibly loud, you sort of zone out and wonder why everyone on the highway is going so ridiculously slow. Then you realize that they're going 80 mph and you need to hit the brakes and set cruise control."
Even new-guy Eric Tingwall keyed in on a similar thought. "Driving an $87,000, 485-horsepower car on your first day in the office is definitely awesome, but the thrills were pretty much limited to straight-line acceleration. As several others have noted, it's impossible to play near the GT-R's limits on public roads. Even taking highway on- and off-ramps at quick-but-reasonable speeds is a bit of a snooze, as the GT-R just shrugs them off. To own this car and really enjoy it, make sure to budget a few grand for regular visits to the track."
Still, the GT-R seems to have left a powerful impression on our young associate editor:
"The capabilities, the technology and the legend, elevate the allure of the GT-R to the level of exotics costing three times as much. At 23 years old, I believe I'm supposed to spend the next five years working three jobs, living in near-poverty conditions, and selling bodily fluids so I can afford one of these. If it weren't for that terrifying surgical needle they use to collect bone marrow, it just might be worth it."

Moment,When I see her for First Time. |
Valentine's Day is day of love, fervor, roses, care, passion, intimacy and faith. All young hearts wait for whole year for that colorful day. Valentine's Day celebrated on 14 February every year. That day gives reason to show love to our love ones.
Valentine's Day gives a motive and prospect to the married person also to show one's love and intimacy to other half.
On last valentine day, I wrote a poem for my lovely wife. That poem worked as magic for both of us. According to me, Gifts are nothing until you do not pour your feeling with gifts. So celebrate this Valentine's Day (14th February ,2012) with your spouse and show your inner heart with hearty shape balloon.
"Words Can't Draw Your Nature,
You are lovable then anything, my wife.
You are God's most beautiful Creature,
After getting you, I need nothing in my life.
Sometimes I got angry to you.
Try to realize love behind bitterness,
You know well, I am hungry for you.
Sweets are salty against your sugariness.
Your touch turned green to my dried life,
I am waterless tree without you, oh my loving wife.
Slowly slowly you came in my life.
I proud to choose you as my wife,
Love at first sight was mystery,
You show me the delight of life.
My sorrow is now a history,
It just because of you ,my sweet and lovely wife."

Professor Department of Physics
Phone: 406-994-6152 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Dr. Richard J. Smith is a Professor of Physics in the Department of Physics at Montana State University. He received a B.A. in Physics from St. Mary's College, Winona, Minn., (1969) and a Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from Iowa State University (1975). After three years on a postdoctoral appointment at Montana State University, he joined the research staff at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He returned to MSU as a faculty member in 1980.
He is currently director and principal investigator in the Ion Beams Laboratory at MSU. Dr. Smith directs a group of several undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral associates in two separate programs funded by NSF and DOE (HiTEC). Research interests include: epitaxial growth at metal-metal interfaces, formation of intermetallic alloys at surfaces and interfaces, corrosion of metal surfaces, degradation of materials in solid oxide fuel cells, the absorption of hydrogen in metals, and ion-solid interactions including ion beam mixing, channeling, and nuclear reaction analysis. He is the author/co-author of over 100 publications and has served as PI on many federally funded projects. His teaching interests include instruction of introductory engineering physics classes and the development of improved upper division laboratories.
Since the beginning of the HiTEC program at MSU, Dr. Smith's program has consisted of a collaborative effort with Dr. Vladimir Gorokhovsky, Arcomac Surface Engineering Inc. of Bozeman, Mont., to use advanced surface engineering techniques to fabricate low-cost, corrosion resistant bipolar plates for SOFC stacks operating at temperatures near 800 degrees Celsius. The approach has been to use large-area filtered arc deposition technology (LAFAD) available from ASE to coat steel interconnect plates, and to characterize the performance of the plates by their area-specific resistance (ASR) in the group of Dr. Max Deibert (Chemical Engineering, MSU), and their oxidation and thermal stability using ion beam techniques in the group of Dr. Smith.
Initially, the emphasis was on designing a multilayer structure for the coatings, e.g. CrN/AlN nanolayers, that would reduce oxidation rates while maintaining good electron conduction and mechanical adhesion. Reduction of oxidation rates by more than an order of magnitude was achieved. Subsequently, the focus shifted to coatings consisting of CrAlON (oxynitrides). More recently, the group began fabricating and studying functional coatings consisting of a bond coat for adhesion, and a top coat for corrosion resistance and thermal stability. As issues of Cr volatility and degradation of stack performance received more attention, the group developed procedures for quantitative measurements of Cr volatility from steel surfaces using ion beam analysis. The group also uses nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) with isotopes of oxygen (18O) to measure oxygen transport during oxide scale growth and surface exchange rates for oxygen adsorption, e.g. at YSZ electrolyte surfaces.
Anticipating a need for thinner electrolytes in SOFCs operating at lower temperatures, the group initiated experiments to grow dense YSZ on porous YSZ anode material using magnetron sputtering and LAFAD processes. The facilities used by Dr. Smith's group for this project include the ion beam laboratory at MSU, the ICAL facility at MSU, the Montana Microfabrication Facility at MSU, and the ion beam analysis laboratory at EMSL in Richland, Wash., as well as the growth facilities at ASE.

John Rollin Ridge (Cherokee name: Cheesquatalawny, or Yellow Bird,[1] March 19, 1827 – October 5, 1867), a member of the Cherokee Nation, is considered the first Native American novelist.
Born in New Echota, Georgia, he was the son of John Ridge, and the grandson of Major Ridge, both of whom were signatories to the Treaty of New Echota, which Congress affirmed in early 1836, ceding Cherokee lands east of the Mississippi River and ultimately leading to the Trail of Tears. At the age of 12, Ridge witnessed his father's death at the hands of supporters of Cherokee leader John Ross, who had vehemently opposed the treaty. His mother, Sarah Bird Northrup(a white woman), took him and fled to Fayetteville, Arkansas. In 1843, he was sent to the Great Barrington School in Great Barrington, Massachusetts for two years, after which he returned to Fayetteville to study law.[2] He himself married a white woman, Elizabeth Wilson, in 1847 and they had one daughter, Alice, in 1848.
In 1849, he killed Ross sympathizer David Kell, whom he thought had been involved with his father's assassination, over a horse dispute.[1] Despite having a good argument for self-defense, he fled to Missouri to avoid prosecution.[3] The next year, he joined in the California Gold Rush, but disliked being a miner.[2] While there, he was reunited with his wife and daughter.[4]
His writing career began with poetry (published posthumously)[2] and essays for the Democratic Party before what is now considered the first Native American novel and the first novel written in California, The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murieta: The Celebrated California Bandit (1854).[1] A fictionalized version of the notorious bandit's story, the tale describes a young Mexican who comes to California to seek his fortune during the Gold Rush and turns to crime after his wife is raped and his brother murdered by white men. This novel, which condemned American racism especially towards Mexicans, later inspired the Zorro stories.[5] Although widely popular, Ridge saw no money from the book's publication—by the time of his death it had not yet even turned a profit.[6]
Ridge went on to work as a newspaper editor and writer for the Sacramento Bee and the San Francisco Herald, among other publications.[1] As an editor, he advocated assimilationist policies for American Indians as his father had, placing his trust in the federal government to protect their rights. At the same time, however, he was blind to the ways in which those rights were continually abused by the same government.[2] Despite his novel's stance against racism, Ridge had owned slaves on his Arkansas property[1] and felt that California Indians were inferior to those of other tribes.[4] During the Civil War, Ridge openly supported the "Copperheads" and opposed both the election of Abraham Lincoln as well as the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, blaming the war on abolitionists.[2]
After the war, Ridge was invited by the federal government to head the Southern Cherokee delegation in postwar treaty proceedings. Despite his best efforts, the Cherokee region was not admitted as a state to the Union.[2] In December 1866, he returned to his home in Grass Valley, California, where he died of "brain fever (encephalitis lethargia) on October 5, 1867.[7] He was buried at Greenwood Memorial Park in Grass Valley.[8]
The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murieta[edit]
Ridge's novel, one of the earliest by a Native American author, is curious both because it is written not about a Native American subject, but about a Mexican immigrant, and because it is not original but based on a legendary figure widely discussed in the media of the day. Ridge presents the figure of Joaquin Murieta as that of a young, innocent and industrious man who is hampered in his attempts to be successful in the United States by the racism of the people and by the 1850 Foreign Miner's Tax Law, which severely hampered the ability of Latinos to mine for gold. Ridge's version of Murieta becomes a bandit who attracts a large number of associates and who terrorizes the state of California for several months with his gruesome acts of violence. At the same time, Ridge's Murieta is a romantic figure, often showing kindness (especially to women) and relishing the stories about him, even as he keeps his identity so well secret that he can walk through town in broad daylight with no one recognizing him.
Although the novel is fictional, many people took it as fact and some historians even cited it when writing biographical materials on Murrieta.[6]

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is bloodhound/lab!
Facts about bloodhound/lab
- Breed: Bloodhound/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White

- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
bloodhound/lab's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Wrinkles are us!! If you like wrinkles, wrinkles c an be yours. Look at these adorable little faces. They need new, forever homes. Both boys, both playful, friendly and huggable. Neutered, current on shots and WAAAAITING. Adoption donation is 250.00. Crate trained
Other Pets at 3 Sisters Pet Rescue CT
Why Adoption is a Great Option
bloodhound/lab, a all of Bloodhound/Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bloodhound/Labrador Retriever for sale in all of, or seeking a Bloodhound/Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in all of.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in all of already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a all of breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Bloodhound/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Bloodhound/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in all of paves the way for another one to be saved.

Title: A Dame to Kill For: Sin City Book 2
Author: Frank Miller
Publication Info: Dark Horse 2005
Genre: Graphic Novel
Mmmmm, Dwight. Damaged, borderline-psychotic Dwight. Bam was right: he's nummy. Buy this book. Read it. Fall in dirty, dirty lust with Dwight.
Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Ahem. Let me try again:
Dwight, like just about every Sin City character you'd care to name, has problems. The love of his life left him years ago for a rich man, he lost his job as an award-winning photographer for Alcohol-Related Reasons that aren't elaborated in the book, and he's now reduced to sneaking around, taking pictures of husbands behaving badly for a hilariously sleazy private detective.
Then a blast (no, make that the blast) from the past, Ava, shows up. She makes noises about her life being in danger. And she's being shadowed by a huge (and I mean huge) motherfucker who's allegedly her husband's chauffeur.
Dwight has two weaknesses: booze and dames. One weakness feeds off the other. But Ava isn't a weakness for Dwight so much as she is his San Andreas Fault: when he sticks around her long enough, catastrophic things happen, and vital chunks of himself threaten to tear free from the mainland.
Wow, check out that analogy I just made. That's, like, deep, man.
Anyway, complications arise. Complications involving blood, and lots of it. And Dwight goes on a rampage, first with the help of your favorite delusional thug and mine, Marv, then with the help of the working girls in Old Town.
This story starts out slower than The Hard Goodbye, but once it got going, I couldn't put it down. One of the neat things about the story is that it happens concurrently with The Hard Goodbye and you get to see little vignettes from the last book interspersed in this novel, often as background action. The stories stand alone very well, but it's a lot of fun looking at the scenes from different perspectives, and figuring out the timeline for various events relative to the timeline of The Hard Goodbye.
The characters in this one are every bit as fascinating as the characters in the first book. Dwight is hot. Have I mentioned that? No? H-O-T. Hot. He's quixotic and gallant, the way Marv is, but unlike Marv, he's not confused, and he'll hurt a woman if presented with enough provocation.
I'm not normally into pain, but let me say this: Dwight can hurt me any time.
This book also introduces the prostitutes of Old Town, including one of my favorites, deadly little Miho and her array of sharp objects.
For those of you who liked the movie* and were wondering why Dwight needed plastic surgery, this story explains it all.
My only complaint, minor as it is, is that Dwight is a lot less hawt after his plastic surgery, largely because of his gay-ass haircut. What the hell? I mean, fine, he couldn't be hot and bald any more because hot and bald is a pretty distinct look, and the point of extensive reconstructive plastic surgery is to disguise your look, but DEAR GOD couldn't Frank Miller have given him a better haircut? That floppy center part should only be sported by sissy-boy Hong Kong pop singers, not tough-as-fuck characters for a noir graphic novel.
Other than that, this book was a blast to read. Go. Read. And revel in the hotness that is Dwight.
*An observation about the movie sparked after reading this: man, Clive Owen doesn't do Dwight justice in the movie. Not even close. Yes, he's yummy, and yes, gallantry oozes from his pores the way oil does from mine after a meal at Popeye's, but he doesn't have the raw sexuality and crazy edge that Dwight exudes in the book. Plus the way he struggled with the American accent was distracting. I think Christian Bale would've done a better job, because Lord knows he's proven himself capable of playing psychos, both amiable and not-so-amiable. Plus he's hawt, and built—I mean, seriously, Dwight in the book is BUILT, yo.

History of the Amistad Research Center |
The Amistad Research Center's ties to the American Missionary Association (AMA) can be traced to the AMA's roots in the coalition of abolitionists who came to the defense of the Amistad Africans. Under the banner of the Amistad Defense Committee, abolitionists and attorneys, with help from former President John Quincy Adams, took the case to the United States Supreme Court, which ruled that the Africans were free. The Amistad Committee evolved into the inter-racial AMA, which rose to the forefront of the fight for freedom and justice. The AMA founded hundreds of abolitionist and anti-caste churches and schools among African Americans, Native Americans, Puerto Ricans, Appalachian Whites, Asian Americans and Mexican Americans. Distinguished colleges and universities that emerged from these efforts include: Atlanta University, Berea College, Dillard University, Fisk University, Hampton University, Huston-Tillotson University, LeMoyne-Owen College, Talladega College, and Tougaloo College. During World War II, the AMA established a Race Relations Department on the campus of Fisk University to improve human relations through research and education. The Amistad Research Center was established as a division of the Race Relations Department in 1966. By 1969, the Amistad Research Center, now incorporated as an independent institution, had become the official repository for the archives and institutional records of AMA, transferring its operation to Dillard University in New Orleans in 1970. The Center eventually outgrew its space and moved to the old United States Mint building in the French Quarter, and in 1987, the Center moved to Tulane University. Today |

hello all
this is my first time I write to you I have a really problem with spider plant babies I have a spider plant with babies and the babies have good roots . I cut one off it's mother and put it in the soil (which is peat moss only)
so I have sprayer now and I spray the leaves of baby at morning and at night everyday . this will make the soil wet not soggy
I put the baby in bright area
even I do this but I feel that it will die please help me .. there is no baby continued living with me I don't know what is the wrong my questions are :
Is my watering way good? or I should let it dry too much before watering again?
please look at the picture and tell me what should I do?
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you have a little bit of bagged potting soil you can use? I can't think of anything much worse than plain peat moss to plant in. That's the first thing I would do. With a decent potting medium, you will be able to water properly. |
Peat will retain water for much longer than you'll want it to. Peat should really only be used to make heavier mixes for plants who like to stay a little more wet than usual. That pot also looks too big for that baby. |
thank you so I should peapare a potting mix but please tell me what are the soil types and the ratio? In my area where I live I can't find potting mix products . so I use peat moss only about watering should I water my plant more often ? |

It's the peat moss that's the problem. Watering more or less is not the issue, you need to pls. get it out of that mix into a much smaller pot. I'd stop spraying morning & night, that's not helping either. |

I usually get spider babies going in water before putting in a pot. I know it's not necessary but that's how I've done it for about 40 years. There's a big bowl of them on the front porch now that need a pot. |
Mesho, please don't worry about making your own potting mix. I'll bet that you can find a decent commercial potting soil already bagged up and ready to go. These potting mixes have peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, and other ingredients already mixed in. In most locations, even grocery stores sell potting soils. |
thanks for you all but how many times should I water it in the week? |
WE can't tell you how many times per week you'll need to water. That will depend entirely on variables that are unique to your environment. So the honest answer to your question is that you need to determine (with your fingers) the moisture content of the potting medium and water only when your plant needs it! In other words, I may have to water my baby spider plant three times a week....but purpleinopp finds that she only needs to water once every two weeks. Your potting medium should be watered thoroughly (please put the spray bottle down) and then allowed to dry out somewhat. Be wary of any advice from someone who tells you to water a certain number of times per week. |
Spider plants definitely don't mind drying out, so don't worry much about underwatering. Overwatering is much worse for a spider plant. Wait to water it until the pot is lightweight when you pick it up. You can also dig your finger down in to see how dry it is. Water when it is almost completely dry. Otherwise it sounds like you're treating it well by keeping it in a shady but bright place! Good luck. |

Muscle dysmorphia is a common form of BDD that occurs mostly in men. Men with muscle dysmorphia worry that their body build is too small and not lean or muscular enough, even though they look normal or even very muscular. To try to look better, many excessively lift weights, excessively exercise or eat special diets.

Vision, Mission, Philosophy
The College of Education strives to create an environment where all participants are critical, creative thinkers, problem-solvers, life-long learners, and global citizens who advocate and work for justice and equality as they pursue their various professional roles. We organize the above crucial roles of educators in terms of transformations, of ideas/ information, individuals, intermediate social institutions (e.g., schools, school districts, communities), and the larger polity. These transformative philosophies, goals and institutional standards are organized around the theme of the Transformative Professional and are supported by the appropriate knowledge bases cited in the extended discussion of the conceptual framework. A shortened version of the framework is found in these pages.
We believe that teaching and learning is made of significant transformations that fundamentally alter individuals and social institutions. Incremental change as measured by formal testing reflects only incomplete aspects of the changes wrought by the formal and informal interactions [with people, ideas, text and media] that characterize excellent education.
We believe that currently understood effective practices can be achieved by candidates. Education in the unit is seen as holistic, yet we believe that by subdividing pertinent discussions via the Conceptual Framework, candidates have a better chance of understanding education's complexities. Finally, while we believe that candidates can and should learn didactic information related to their disciplines and pedagogy, we also want to instill in them a respect for the dynamism of information and a vigorous skepticism about the permanence of current policies and conceptualizations in the field.
Specifically, the transformations that we embrace in the unit can briefly be described as follows:
- We embrace the notion of social constructivism but only in the sense that we believe that knowledge (about teaching and learning) must be reworked and transformed (made personal) by candidates as they acquire it.
- We believe that an excellent education program transforms individual learners. Candidates are transformed via acquiring the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of professional educators. Students in the schools are changed to become more sophisticated learners from their interactions with candidates. Professors and instructors rethink modes of instruction and even their belief systems as they interact professionally with candidates. Parents of public school students and school administrators are changed constantly by new information emanating from the unit.
- Because we ask candidates to become excellent consumers of new information, they influence positive changes in schools and school districts in curriculum, pedagogy, and culture. We expect our candidates to bring a strong disposition to their careers in democratic values and racial/ethnic equity affecting practices and attitudes in schools regionally, statewide and nationally.
- As students and intermediate social intuitions change as a function of the strengths brought to the field, we expect that our candidates will participate in societal change that increasingly accepts multiple cultures and languages, that is increasingly participatory, and that reflects ever greater levels of fairness in interacting with students and families of color.

About teach me music
teach me music is a new Australian music teacher directory and music resource website. I began working on the site in early 2012 in order to address the need for a visually appealing, feature rich, and easy to navigate online directory dedicated exclusively to music teachers. Being a music teacher myself, I was somewhat disappointed by the other directories out there, which I felt where slow, difficult to navigate, visually unappealing, or too expensive. Since I couldn't find what I was looking for, I decided to build it myself.
My goal is to provide music teachers with all the tools necessary to represent themselves online, so that potential students have all the information they need to choose the right teacher for them, and in turn so that teachers may find the right students. I also aim to promote a more active and engaged community of music teachers through online lessons and articles – which all registered teachers are encouraged to contribute to.
teach me music is made for the dedicated and enthusiastic music teachers who choose to make teaching their career.

Google App Engine disregards Accept-Encoding
$ curl -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' -A 'Random/5.0' http://url |file - /dev/stdin: ASCII text, with very long lines, with no line terminators $ curl -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' -A 'Random/5.0 gzip' http://url |file - /dev/stdin: gzip compressed data, max compression
Google, in their infinite wisdom, have decided that the Accept-Encoding
header is essentially useless.
Why I don't know, but if you deploy with Google App Engine and rightfully expect their boundary proxies to compress your data for you, then you have to make sure your clients's User-Agent
is either whitelisted or contains the magic four bytes gzip
. (So if your client happens to be named "tagzipper" for example, Google will gzip for you.)
In their defense this is documented behavior, but it doesn't make it any less quirky. As it turns out, we hit the billed quota we set because our clients aren't including "gzip" in their UA strings... D'oh.
Might be good to know!

Peek at Developer Track Sessions for the International SharePoint Conference London 2012
We wrote before about the upcoming SharePoint Conference London in our post, "Registration is Open for the International SharePoint Conference London 2012." For a glimpse of some happenings at the conference, check out Andrew Connell's, "I'm Presenting at the International SharePoint Conference in London April 2012."
Andrew Connell of the AndrewConnell Blog and Critical Path Training, LLC, is a Microsoft developer specializing in the .NET Framework & content management, specifically Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 and SharePoint. He will be appearing in a handful of sessions in the Developer track at the SharePoint Conference in London 2012.
This track is for all the Developers out there who are just starting a SharePoint journey of discovery and for those developers who have been developing for a while and now need to hone their skills to a more advanced level. There is so much that you can do with SharePoint where do you start, and what is the correct way to take a design all the way through to a finished solution deployed live in your production farm.
If London in April 2012 isn't on your ticket, consider advancing your SharePoint knowledge and farm with a third party solution. We suggest Smartlogic. The Semaphore Ontology Manager lets you manage the language that defines your space and takes your metadata to the next level. The tool's logical interface lets non-Information scientists easily browse multiple hierarchies or search for terms by name or any attribute. This means a small team can maintain the model with minimal training required, letting you conserve your valuable project resources.

Eight Goats Safe After Fire Ravages Property
September 19, 2012 - Update!
Sunday, we corralled all eight for health exams. Thankfully, none were severely harmed by the fire. But, all suffer from lice, worms, and overgrown hooves. We must provide them with the veterinary care needed to thrive.
All of the males need to be neutered. Three will be going in today for a surgical neuter, meaning they will be sedated instead of castrated while fully conscious, a common practice on goat farms.
The ultimate goal is to place these goats into loving homes, but first they must recover from their trauma and neglect. Until then, we will ensure they are well-fed, socialized, and cared for the way they deserve.
September 15, 2012
As the flames licked at the house, one large male goat gathered his herd and guided them to the farthest edge of the property. As they huddled, afraid and unable to escape, he turned to face the fire. He would not back down. In a separate pen, a mother goat pushed herself in front of her two babies, despite the fire's heat singeing her fur.
Last week a house fire near our Grass Valley sanctuary killed a woman, several of her animals, and severely injured her husband. Left behind were eight goats, barely scraping by on stale bread tossed into their pasture. The goats, all Cashmere crosses, were used as weed eaters. Originally a herd of twelve, the lack of a night-time enclosure led to the death of six goats by a mountain lion.
Today, these goats are now safe at Animal Place, but we need your help. All of the goats have lice and worms and their hooves are severely overgrown. Please donate towards their care.
Our team of volunteers and staff arrived to the property and guided the herd of five into our stock trailer. What could have been a long-day ended up being a quick rescue effort!
After, we attended to the mother and her two babies. While loading them up, we discovered she had been injured by sharp metal wire in her enclosure, and the male had a plastic bottle cap nearly embedded into his leg, which we removed with cutters.
There are four adult male goats, including an adorable Cashmere-Pygmy cross who totters around on tiny legs. They must all be neutered. Next week, they will be transported to UC Davis for the surgical procedure that includes sedatives, local anesthesia, and post-operative pain relief...rarely offered to goats on farms. Incredibly, goats can continue producing sperm weeks after their neuter! Which means hese goats will be available for adoption six weeks post-surgery.
We need your help covering the costs of the neuters and the goats' ongoing care.
Additionally there are two females - one who is likely pregnant- the other with two kids, a male and a female. Both need to gain weight before they will be able to find new homes. Despite what they have been through, the female baby approached our staff for some love and even nibbled on our fingers! With love and affection, it is likely many of these goats will become more social.
All of the goats are at our Rescue Ranch facility in Vacaville where they will be de-wormed, de-loused, and vaccinated. Their hooves will be trimmed and the males will be neutered. After they recover, they will be put up for adoption into homes that will provide them with lifelong care, good food, and a truly safe place to call home.
These goats have been through so much. They've survived mountain lion attacks, lack of food, proper care, and a fire. Through it all, they remained a strong unit, protecting one another.
And when it came down to the choice to save himself or help his herd, the largest male chose to protect his family. When the heat and smoke filled up her enclosure, the mother goat chose to use her body as a shield to help her babies.
Please help care for these goats. We will provide them with everything they need to thrive, and we want you to be a part of those efforts.
Your gift will feed them the hay and grain they need, and provide them with life-saving medications to keep them healthy. Your donation will ensure all the goats are hoof-trimmed and the males neutered.
In return, we will watch over these goats, help them become more comfortable around people, and make sure that they will live out their lives as a family in the perfect home. And, we will advocate on behalf of all goats, encouraging people to see them as fun, inquisitive creatures who deserve to live and be treated with respect and compassion.

Graphical problems with Wine
- 08-07-2006 #2
You can experiment with the 5 check boxes in the Graphics tab of winecfg. That is, run winecfg and click Graphics and try different combinations.
Some graphics applications run flawlessly under wine, and some don't. That's why it's beta.
Two other places you could check are the Wine Applications Database and the Wine wiki.
You might also mention the specific application here and see if anybody has tried it.

Ween's Pure Guava turns twenty years old today
"Push Th' Little Daisies," which received a music video treatment that was roundly mocked by Beavis and Butt-Head on MTV, also hinted at progressions to come for the pair. Gene Ween's soaring falsetto on the bright tune would reappear on "Freedom of '76," while Dean's guitar work veers from the out-of-tune, tongue-in-cheek delivery that marked so much of The Pod.
Like so many moments on the record, the song is a hint of the more mature Ween to come. Sure, it's cloaked in a bit of weirdness and yes, the tune caused Beavis and Butt-Head to declare, "These guys have no future." That prediction proved false. Two decades filled with challenging music that crossed too many boundaries to count followed.

Hi guys, I recently bought a set of 3 nippers off E-Bay (if anyone's interested, scroll down 15 pictures under the heading "Mosaic tools", and that's them) and I can't for the life of me, figure out how to use them! Are they for glass or tile? How come I can't figure it out? Anybody out there that would care to show an old lady the way???
Thanks Mattie |

Is this it? If so-the first one is wheeled nippers, for glass or china to cut small pieces. On a piece of glass, place the wheels in the center of the line you wish to cut and squeeze. The second tool is a tile cutter, it has a small wheel. use the wheel to score a line on a plate,tile or shard, then flip them over and line up the score line in the center and squeeze-poof, broken plate or tile. The third are tile nippers, use them to nibble off pieces of shards, or to cuta shard into smaller pieces. Place the jaws at the EDGE of the shard, about 1/4 inch in and squeeze. This might help you some.... http://www.mosaicmercantile.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/scstore/tools_and_accessories.html?E+scstore I hope I guesses right and am not making a big idiot of myself. If I am, well, it wont be the first time! LOL |

Thanks alot, those are them. I'm not used to using tools for any mosaics, I use a hammer for tile and a glass cutter for glass. I'll go into my shop this weekend and try again. Will they work on glass? Thanks again Mattie |

Wheeled nippers work best on glass. |

I think you will really like the tile cutter and nippers for your china. I actually cut a plate into strips with it and then use the nippers to cut the strips into tiles. Here is tutorial on various ways to cut up a plate...everybody does it differently. The wheeled nippers can help you shape glass with a lot of control and nip tiles as well. |

So one Saturday we ventured to a kids hair salon to get it done. I knew I would need Brian's help. One parent to hold Mason and one to take pictures. Duh! Luckily Mason had gotten a hair cut gift certificate to a cute kids place - Snip Its- for the "First Hair Cut Experience Package".
Upon entering we knew there was no way Mason would sit in the chair by himself. We tried but it turned ugly fast. Thank goodness for Daddy being a good sport and willing to hold his boy for his hair cut. I, on the other hand, came armed with goodies. If you know anything about Mason it is that he can be bribed with food. So once the tears came, out came a cereal bar. And guess what.. it worked.
Mason did great the rest of the time and the stylist, Candice, was so nice. She gave Mason a great haircut and was super patient with him.
The package included a photo as well as a certificate and of course, a few pieces of his hair. These items have been placed in his memory box!
The after pictures... Mullet be gone. Doesn't he look like a little boy now?! When did he get so big???
Did your child cry during their first haircut or is mine the only one? How long did you wait until you first cut their hair? (Mason was 16 months old!)
