... spend an hour creating folders and organising my bookmarked websites into categories.
... wander aimlessly around in my garden, picking things up and putting them down.
... write lists.
... look at a pile of magazines that need to be shelved, but start reading them (again) instead.
... sit, gazing into the distance.
Obviously my subconscious is working through some ideas and requires extra brain processing power. I'm sure it will be revealed in due course. In the meantime, I think I'll go back into the garden where I'm sure my zucchini plants have grown since I looked at them this morning.

Your right something, some idea, some quilt or other is growing in the back of your consciousness, relax and give it time - the garden sounds the best place to mull things over. There are times when daydreaming is the most valuable thing we can do. - 3:56 pm

Ah, Erica, I told you I was just like you!
All these things I do too. I wander aimlessly in Westfields, write lists on my PDA, and also re-read things when I should be filing them. And only an hour to reorganise your favourite websites! I wish! - 11:03 am

How can I cut the rental costs for my outdoor wedding?
Look for outdoor venues that provide the necessities like table and chairs. Some evn have the lighting covered (think: a lantern-lit garden). Otherwise, you'll have to bring in everything. As far as details go, ask to borrow things like tablecloths, vases and serving trays from family and friends, or buy ones that you'd use in your home later.

My take on Alfredo sauce - without the saturated fat. This recipe is pretty easy to manipulate - you can add more parmasean cheese (or romano cheese), black pepper and garlic to taste. You can't even taste the tofu, but by adding it, it gives it a source of protein therefore making it vegetarian!

Centura Health has more experts in more places throughout the region. Start your health journey by finding the right one for you.
The future is now at St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center. As the first and only hospital in the Pueblo area to have da Vinci® state-of-the-art robotic technology, St. Mary-Corwin continues its commitment to connect the community to the best health care in Colorado.
The minimally invasive robotic da Vinci® Surgical System enables a highly magnified three dimensional surgical visualization, along with "wristed" instruments, resulting in greater laparoscopic operative precision. Combined with our surgeons' advanced training, this technology can be used for a multitude of minimally invasive procedures.
This innovation results in many potential patient benefits, including less risk of infection, blood loss, significantly less pain, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times. Robotic patients often leave the hospital and experience a recovery that is only a fraction of the time required for a more traditional operation.
Gynecologists have adopted the da Vinci® Surgical System for a range of gynecologic procedures and surgeries including hysterectomy.
Removal of the prostate gland to treat prostate cancer -- is today the #1 treatment option for prostate cancer. Given da Vinci® Surgical System's dramatic adoption rate by urologists since its introduction in 2001, robotic surgery has already surpassed open surgery to become the most-often performed approach to prostate cancer surgery in the US.

American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The word of Jehovah which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah. | 1 The word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, during the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah: |
2 I will utterly consume all things from off the face of the ground, saith Jehovah. | 2 "I will sweep away everything from the face of the earth," declares the LORD. |
3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the face of the ground, saith Jehovah. | 3 "I will sweep away both men and animals; I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. The wicked will have only heaps of rubble when I cut off man from the face of the earth," declares the LORD. |
4 And I will stretch out my hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, [and] the name of the Chemarim with the priests; | 4 "I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all who live in Jerusalem. I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal, the names of the pagan and the idolatrous priests-- |
5 and them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship, that swear to Jehovah and swear by Malcam; | 5 those who bow down on the roofs to worship the starry host, those who bow down and swear by the LORD and who also swear by Molech, |
6 and them that are turned back from following Jehovah; and those that have not sought Jehovah, nor inquired after him. | 6 those who turn back from following the LORD and neither seek the LORD nor inquire of him. |
7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord Jehovah; for the day of Jehovah is at hand: for Jehovah hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath consecrated his guests. | 7 Be silent before the Sovereign LORD, for the day of the LORD is near. The LORD has prepared a sacrifice; he has consecrated those he has invited. |
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of Jehovah's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel. | 8 On the day of the LORD's sacrifice I will punish the princes and the king's sons and all those clad in foreign clothes. |
9 And in that day I will punish all those that leap over the threshold, that fill their master's house with violence and deceit. | 9 On that day I will punish all who avoid stepping on the threshold, who fill the temple of their gods with violence and deceit. |
10 And in that day, saith Jehovah, there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills. | 10 "On that day," declares the LORD, "a cry will go up from the Fish Gate, wailing from the New Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills. |
11 Wail, ye inhabitants of Maktesh; for all the people of Canaan are undone; all they that were laden with silver are cut off. | 11 Wail, you who live in the market district; all your merchants will be wiped out, all who trade with silver will be ruined. |
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps; and I will punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, neither will he do evil. | 12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs, who think, 'The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.' |
13 And their wealth shall become a spoil, and their houses a desolation: yea, they shall build houses, but shall not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but shall not drink the wine thereof. | 13 Their wealth will be plundered, their houses demolished. They will build houses but not live in them; they will plant vineyards but not drink the wine. |
14 The great day of Jehovah is near, it is near and hasteth greatly, [even] the voice of the day of Jehovah; the mighty man crieth there bitterly. | 14 "The great day of the LORD is near-- near and coming quickly. Listen! The cry on the day of the LORD will be bitter, the shouting of the warrior there. |
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, | 15 That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, |
16 a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements. | 16 a day of trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the corner towers. |
17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against Jehovah; and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung. | 17 I will bring distress on the people and they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their entrails like filth. |
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he will make an end, yea, a terrible end, of all them that dwell in the land. | 18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD's wrath. In the fire of his jealousy the whole world will be consumed, for he will make a sudden end of all who live in the earth." |

Pop culture trends signal the constant shift in society—as a whole and niche pockets of it. From fashion to artwork, people are constantly innovating within these industries, resulting in forward-thinking products.
Certain products that have made it big the past year include many superhero-infused items. Batman has been remade into everything from a geeky hipster doll to a Disney-like action figure.
Many individuals have also chosen to take items from popular culture and remake them into personal parodies. Examples of this include Gotye's famous hit Somebody That I Used To Know, which culminated in numerous spin-offs, including a Star Wars version.
The Trend Hunter Pop Culture Trend Report can help companies identify emerging patterns within the pop culture realm, so if you're interested in learning more about demographics and popularity of trends for 2013, be sure to check them out.

Ever since this recipe appeared in Gourmet years ago I've chosen this as the preferred lobster dip. Better 'n butter and less fatty.
nice recipe and easy to use, not only on lobster but any shellfish. also would be good if served over cellophane noodles.
I actually made drawn butter with this, as I thought I would miss it. (I'm originally from Boston.) It was perfect without the butter; you don't need it. I think this would also lend itself to a stir fry. Kill the lobsters first, parboil for 2 minutes, cut in serving pieces then cook in a covered wok.
I had to really push to do our Maine lobster this way. Ou New England vistors wanted to just boil and dip in butter. Well we followed this recipe, and used the dipping sauce as part of the grilling process - just once after we parboiled the lobster. I think the key was the grilling time - really 8-9 minutes - of course checking one to make sure there done. The right amout of moisture remained and the rest of the dipping sauce was used to taste. To a person everyone thought the lobster was thebest they ever had and left with the Epicurious recipe. We served this with fresh corn on the cob followed by a nice salad
I used this recipe to learn how to grill lobster. The flavor of grilled lobster will make you never want to eat it boiled again. I didn't make the dipping sauce (although I plan to).
Very easy and very tasty on the lobster, save your heart from all the butter. I plan to use the sauce on shrimp and lobster next. It was outstanding on the lobster and nice to par boil lobsters, I've avoided grilling recipes where you have to cut them up live.
Easy and full of flavor. Use it with any seafood although shrimp, scallops, lobster are the best. Try it with a gewurtztraminer and your guests will be very happy. It's a "flavor monster," as described.
Skip the live lobster thing - for easy prep, no mess and less effort you can buy the frozen lobster tails. We like lobster so we do not tend to different sauces - just stick to the pure grill and dip in garlic butter - MMM. However, if you are looking for a tasty difference this sauce will definitely receiver rave reviews - enjoy!

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 Fraggle Rock!
Facts about Fraggle Rock
- Breed: Cairn Terrier Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Fraggle Rock's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Fraggle Rock is a great little guy! Unfortunately I'm not sure he's had the best life. He was found as a stray dragging a chain and a cinderblock behind him. He takes a little bit to warm up to you (treats work magic!) but once he does....he loves giving kisses and being right next to you. Fraggle is about 2 years old, fully vetted and in need of a very wonderful, loving home who can show him what love is all about
Other Pets at Beyond Bars Animal Rescue - New Jersey
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fraggle Rock, a Bedminster Cairn Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cairn Terrier for sale in Bedminster, or seeking a Cairn Terrier dog from a breeder in Bedminster.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bedminster 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 Bedminster 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 Cairn Terrier breeders who help with Cairn Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bedminster paves the way for another one to be saved.


text: No, they do not. Many hours of behavioral observation of breeding pairs has shown us that females stay very close to their mates during the period when their eggs are fertilized and that a female only copulates with her mate. We know from DNA fingerprinting, moreover, that all chicks reared by a territorial pair are their true biological offspring. This research is described here.

Updated: August 27, 2013 6:27AM
My family will no longer support our church until the Archdiocese of Chicago does something about the Rev. Michael Pfleger. I think he is out of control and a disgrace to the Catholic Church.
Congratulations to Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, on the birth of their new son. What a wonderful news story instead of the same old depressing news like shootings, riots and unemployment. It was good to read some positive news for a change.

A Speak Out commenter brought up President Obama using Air Force One and how much it costs. I don't remember this being brought up when other presidents used Air Force One. What do they expect Obama to do — ride the bus?
Mayor Rahm Emanuel is Chicago's scapegoat. He came in when everything was being swept under the rug and being kicked down the curb. Now these issues are getting ready to explode. People are already saying that he is going to be a one-term mayor. If so, then the next person coming in will smell like a rose. This mess didn't happen overnight.
BJ from Hazel Crest
Do you want to know what is wrong with the United States and Illinois? You have names like Clinton, Madigan, Daley, Mell, Simon, Bush and Cheney. I think they all want to keep everything they do and all of the political feats within the family. It like the aristocrats in England.
While traveling this summer to the Atlanta airport, what a pleasant surprise it was to see the corridors decorated with artwork from students from the community. Contrast that to Midway Airport where there is advertising to buy this and that. Why not support the students who you claim you want to support? We have such talented students in our Chicago area. Put their artwork up. Frame that. Make that a part of the city we can be proud of.
I've heard a lot of rhetoric about a war on women. How about a war on the elderly? Interest rates on savings have been driven down to zero. Many people who have saved money their whole lives are getting nothing from the banks. Many health care premiums have gone sky-high yet their services have gone down. How about addressing the war on the elderly?
I was a divorced parent of three children. There was no father in the children's life ever because he disappeared and I never got support. I had to work two jobs, but I knew if my children had one sock missing out of their drawers. The single mother or father has to check up on their children. All my children are successful now.
Laverne from Tinley Park
The University of Michigan decided to let immigrants living in America illegally pay lower in-state tuition. So let me figure this out. I'm born and raised in this country and my fathers fought for this country but I can't get anything, and immigrants living in the country illegally can get everything they want. What an insult to our forefathers!
All of these hipster performers say that they are going to boycott the states that have stand-your-ground laws. Good for them! But when they get broke and hungry, then maybe they'll go back to work.
Mike P. from Chicago
To the person bashing someone who is disabled with a Corvette: Just because you have a disability doesn't make you poor, and the parking tags are temporary. Someone could have a broken foot and can't walk far.
To the teacher responding to the commenter from New Lenox: I am not that commenter, but the company I work for lets you put in from 16 percent to 20 percent toward a pension. On top of this I pay taxes to pay your salary and that of police and fire personnel, so I am taking home a lot less than you and paying into my pension a lot more, too. I just wanted you to know.
Chicago Public Schools are set to cut $68 million in classroom spending. Thousands of teachers and staff have been fired. Schools have been closed. Remember all of these actions the next time Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel talks about what is really important. We know what is really important to Emanuel and it does not seem to be education, schools or children.
Thank goodness it's finally cooled down. Talk about relief!
The U.S. Agency for International Development has launched a $200 million program to boost the role of women in Afghan society. Have a nice day.
Pat from Monee
July 21's Phil Kadner column infuriated me. My oldest son is a Caucasian who attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Every time he drove home to visit he was pulled over because he wore a bandanna and had long hair. It was a given he would be pulled over. My younger son, also a Caucasian, gets pulled over just because he works late hours for United Parcel Service and is on the road at an unusual hour. This is not a black or white issue, Phil. It's articles like yours that continue to make race an issue in 2013.
Kudos to Chicago White Sox manager Robin Ventura. Outfielder Alex Rios loafed on an infield single recently. As a result Robin benched him. That was very old school. It reminded me of former N.Y. Yankees manager Billy Martin. I couldn't help but smile. I'm not even a White Sox fan. I'm sure Billy smiled down from heaven. As a result, Rios hit a grand slam. That's motivation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa issued the following
statement today regarding President Obama's American Jobs Act:
"Tonight President Obama delivered a strong and clear message to Congress:
The silly season in Washington is over and it's time to get to work
creating jobs for the American people.
The President's plan is practical enough to pass Congress with the
inclusion of bipartisan policy proposals. It is also bold enough to have
the impact our country needs to build our way out of this historic
economic challenge.
The President outlined several initiatives and I support them all. But
there is one that could create up to 166,000 transportation jobs in LA
right away.
I thank the President for calling for a $50 billion investment in
transportation job creation. The President's plan includes an expansion of
TIFIA, a program within the Department of Transportation to help finance
locally funded projects, that will help cities across the country put
people to work building new rail lines, bridges, airports, and highways.
My national transportation investment plan, America Fast Forward, includes
a similar expansion of TIFIA. More than 120 Democratic and Republican
mayors support America Fast Forward. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and
AFL-CIO support America Fast Forward. House Chairman Mica included an
expansion of TIFIA in his transportation proposal. U.S. Senator Boxer and
U.S. Senator Inhofe included an expansion of TIFIA, called America Fast
Forward, in their bi-partisan transportation bill. Congress should extend
the transportation bill immediately to protect jobs. Congress should then
pass an expansion of TIFIA to put more than 1 million Americans to work
across the country.
This Monday, I will break ground on a rail project that will create more
than 10,000 jobs. This year, with the support of Congress and the
expansion of TIFIA, we could move swiftly to break ground on several other
projects that would put 166,000 people to work in LA.

Can we get Sirius for minute? It's time to give these six artists their own channel already!
Floyd Damage: I would love, love, love a Pink Floyd station, and I know many others would, as well, for longer than just enough time to plug a re-issue project, namely. There are just so many outtakes, live shows, bootlegs and solo stuff from Syd, Roger, and David that would make it worth the time. Okay, maybe not all of Roger's stuff, but you get the idea. Forget what I said earlier about songs being too long. Put this channel in the regular rotation already.
Strait Country: A George Strait station would go great with the current crop of country already on Sirius. The man is about to release his fortieth album, so it's not as if he's short on material. I am sure there are recordings of his early Gruene Hall shows somewhere in his archives yet to be heard. Have the man himself record a few chat shows, too. He doesn't open up enough.
Fab Four Radio: A Beatles station is a no-brainer, but I know that if you had 24-hour access to their music, it would cut into their widows and kids' annual residual checks. Fine, but you know that everyone would love a constant Beatles soundtrack to school their children with. Yet again, use their solo work to pad it out. Okay, easy on the Ringo.
Damaged Radio: I am very partial to Black Flag of all eras: the early stuff, the middle periods, and even the later period, towards the end of their run, when they were helping build the sound that would soon be grunge. A Black Flag station could also encompass most hardcore bands that they toured with and called contemporaries, sort of like American Hardcore Radio or something.
24-Hour Zappa Therapy: Zappa Radio, just let it unfurl all freaky-like for days and days, infecting impressionable teens. See what happens to the number of members and horns in most indie-rock bands in five years.
Purple Radio One: And, finally, I know he's not in the picture at the top of this article, but for chrissakes, please, please, please throw Prince tons of cash for his own station. Let the man bring a live mike into his studio and jam for six hours.

Re:This is sad ... (583 comments)
Consider a law that says any person who kills another person shall be sentenced to death. Now consider Joe accidentally kill Bill. Under such a law, Joe is clearly guilty.
No, that doesn't convict Joe. What that says that if Joe kills Bill, he shall be sentenced to death. It does not state under what circumstances Joe's guilt is established. If Joe did kill Bill and it is an accident, he will not be guilty of the crime and will not face the punishment. Joe has to be charged with the crime of muder, proven guilty, and then will face "a law that says any person who kills another person shall be sentenced to death".
My original point is that a parent several generations removed stated that the jury makes the law, and that is not the case. You do bring up a good point that the jury may find a law unjust and not convict because of that, but in no way do juries make laws.

Arkham Asylum pretty much set the standard for how good a game based on a comic book character and the world they inhabit could be. Previously, game's based on comics were generally speaking either ill thought out, poorly executed, hurriedly produced tie-in's with film properties or otherwise underwhelming and insulting to fans of both good games and the comics they were based on with very few exceptions.
Developer Rocksteady at that point had only produced the distinctly average Urban Chaos. Which made both their treatment of the Batman universe and it's polished presentation and execution in Arkham Asylum all the more surprising.
Now the much-anticipated follow up Arkham City is upon us.
Simply put, Rocksteady has defined how to produce a follow up to a successful game. It builds on everything featured in the previous game, tweaking things here and there as well as adding plenty of new elements. Arkham City is an almost perfect example of digital alchemy, balancing deep lore that Bat fans will appreciate, but not to the extent that it will drive away gamers unfamiliar with the intricacies of Gotham City.
Arkham City finds a section of Gotham City partitioned off and transformed into a vast penal colony overseen by mysterious psychiatrist Hugo Strange. Bruce Wayne soon finds himself incarcerated in Arkham City for speaking out against Strange and it's down to the Dark Knight to figure out what Strange is really up to and what "Protocol 10" is.
Chances are, unless you've been living in a cave for the last few decades, you'll be familiar with at least some of the numerous villains that make up the Dark Knight's rogues gallery (which is arguably the best in comics). Rocksteady has once again produced some great character designs with the Penguin re-imagined as a sadistic, eccentric Cockney wide-boy being just one of them. You can also look forward to seeing Mr. Freeze, Harley Quinn, The Joker, and Solomon Grundy, to name but a few, and that's just the main story, there are side missions involving Bane, Mr. Zsasz, and The Riddler, plus additional Catwoman story missions which intertwine with the main story (her design is heavily influenced by Adam Hughes iconic take on the character).
The presentation all round is slick and highly polished. The Arkham facility which you find yourself in, with its array of buildings and alleyways, really feels like part of a city. It's a gothic delight that's equal parts urban decay and neon excess. These aren't just random buildings either, Bat fans will pick up on numerous things like the building you first suit up as Batman in being Ace Chemicals. The voice acting is universally excellent with Kevin Conroy once again being a solid Dark Knight and Mark Hamil putting in another sublime performance as The Joker.
Unlike its predecessor you have a vast area that you're free to explore open world style after the opening scenes. Gliding and grappling your way across the myriad of rooftops and perching upon a gargoyle before listening to a bunch of thugs debate whether crossing Two-Face or The Joker is worse before dropping out of the night sky and taking them all out is a thing of beauty it has to be said. If you're so inclined you can actually spend a considerable amount of time just exploring before even starting any missions.
The downside of this new open world approach is Arkham City doesn't have the claustrophobic story driven narrative of its predecessor, the varied selection of villains are battling each other for both territory and screen time it seems. Though I don't think –– as impressive as Batman's rogues gallery is –– there are many characters that would support a full story like The Joker, so in this regard Rocksteady has made a wise move.
To aid your navigation around Arkham City, Batman now has a divebomb move which can be used either as an offensive maneuver (once you've got the necessary upgrade) or can be used to gain height and speed by pulling up at the last minute before soaring into the night sky. Another addition is the line launcher, an adaptation to the Batclaw which enables you to travel horizontally between buildings and can even be fired mid flight to travel around corners.
Combat in Arkham City is built around the same mechanics as the previous game, but things have been tightened up with new options thrown into the mix too. Now you can use the numerous gadgets at your disposal in the midst of a fight easier. Watching a hammer wielding goon take out half his own men after being hit by the Remote Electronic Charge (a new addition) never gets old. Counter moves are a big factor in combat and learning the timing will literally save your life. Arkham City thugs aren't completely brain dead either, they will team up on you and not just form an orderly queue while you take them out. Also if another gang of thugs is witness to your brawling, they'll come steaming down the street and join the fray. This can result in facing a literal horde of bad guys where you can really show off your combat prowess.
One of the best things about combat in Arkham City is it doesn't fall into the all too familiar problem of tedious repetition. Performing the same few moves over and over can quickly go from exhilarating fun to boring chore in a combat oriented game. Thankfully the combat here is influenced by your surroundings, find yourself up against a wall facing a mob of goons, and your counters will take this into account with Batman slamming faces into said wall until you move away from it.
Stealth quite rightly is also an important part of surviving in Arkham City. Even the Dark Knight isn't invincible, so taking on tooled up goons head on will just lead to a quick demise. Vantage points are key and so is patience. Learning patrol patterns and picking your moment to strike before disappearing into the shadows will lead to goons freaking out and firing at shadows, which will lead to an intimidation experience bonus when you clear the area. If things do go a bit awry you can employ a new smoke bomb to cover your escape.
It's not quite as easy this time around though, with goons later in the game sporting some hi-tech gear. For example they're equipped with thermal imaging headsets which make you visible even if you're hiding in the shadows, and have signal jammers which screw with your Detective Mode, meaning you have no access to the usual readouts on enemies in the vicinity.
Experience will allow you to level up where you can upgrade your Batsuit and gadgets, and learn new special combat techniques, amongst other things.
As for the Catwoman missions I mentioned earlier, they're just as well executed. In fact they're so good you'll find yourself wishing there were more of them. Navigating Arkham City as Catwoman is a completely different experience as you utilize her whip and pounce from rooftop to rooftop or scale larger buildings in stages. Combat is different too. Catwoman is faster, but takes more of a beating if a goon connects. Her combat style is similar to Batman's but the counters and stealth takedowns (dropping down off the ceiling for one) are more graceful and acrobatic in their approach and there's a different set of gadgets to have fun with. I think Rocksteady may have gone a little overboard on sexing up Catwoman, I don't think her catsuit needs to be zipped down quite that far to be sexy.
There's plenty of other little details like Batman's Batsuit taking damage as you progress, radio communications with both Alfred (with his trademark subtle dry humor) and Oracle. And listening to Penguin or Joker berate their goons as you take them out is highly amusing in a twisted way. "Batman's never killed anyone but that doesn't mean he won't start with you," quips The Joker.
Added to all that, there's Riddler trophies to find, challenges to complete, and did I mention you get to punch a shark and can hitch a ride on a helicopter?

Aug 28th 2011 12:57PM I did not get that lucky with Rivendare, but I did with the Raven Lord. It was back in Wrath, while you still needed a druid to summon the boss. I had run the place a handful of times with a friend, but had never seriously farmed it.
One day I decided to try an experiment. My main toon, and the one I collect mounts on, is a DK. He's the one I wanted to get the Raven Lord for. I also had a druid at 80.
So I got them both in a group, cleared up to Anzu's room on my DK and then logged over to the druid, who'd been placed at the entrance. I quickly moved him up to Anzu's room, summoned the boss, and in the 30 seconds or so of RP, I had enough time to switch to my DK and successfully engage and kill the boss.
I had no expectation of the mount dropping, I just wanted to see if that method would even work. I was surprised that it did. I was even more surprised that he dropped a shiny new Raven Lord mount!

The adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," certainly does not apply to what's occurring in raw material suppliers' R&D labs. Most raw material suppliers ac-knowledge that the main focus in R&D labs today has shifted from developing entirely new technologies to improving existing products and materials.
This trend has been noted both in the U.S. and Europe. "I believe that at the present time, the levels of truly pioneering research and development being undertaken in the laboratories of Europe's coatings manufacturers and their raw material suppliers is, if judged by historical standards, somewhat limited," said Richard Holman, head of research, Paint Research Association (PRA). "There seems to be little activity underway which might result in the emergence of really innovative coating technology."
He added that much R&D effort is being directed towards pragmatic, short- and medium-term goals, such as improving utilization of raw materials, the quality of existing products and the efficiency of manufacture and application processes.
"This current dearth in real innovative research may owe something to the prevailing world economic climate," said Dr. Holman. "I suspect however that in Europe, at least, the consolidation of the coatings industry through recent acquisition and mergers, has contributed to a restriction of longer-term blue sky, R&D strategies."
Nowadays, customers want it all-high performance, cost effectiveness and environmentally compliant ingredients. And they also expect these ingredients to be tailored specifically to their unique needs.
"End users want quality performance at a reasonable price," said Gary Ceska, vice president of technology, Sartomer.
"The coatings industry is being continuously challenged to come up with cost efficient, environmentally-friendly coatings that also offer the same, if not higher, performance levels," said Steve Awadalla, marketing manager industrial coatings, UCB Chemicals.
The sagging economy has certainly effected the raw materials market. Paint companies are looking for ways to reduce costs and raw material suppliers must respond to this demand in order to stay ahead. Raw material suppliers are well aware that cost is key.
"The slow economy has driven the paint companies to reduce costs," said Greg Ross, industry manager, Johnson Polymer. "The new products over the last year have been driven by lowering cost," he said.
One of the biggest challenges is delivering the desired performance at the lowest possible cost, stated Pat Dawson, global vice president, Dow oxide derivatives. "The coatings industry is continuously looking for improvements that can be achieved at a lower total formulation cost. This requires the use of high efficiency solvents to reduce solvent requirements for both high solids and water-based coating systems."
This market-driven research has shifted focus from new product development to improving existing products so that they are more cost efficient and deliver the same or better performance. Raw material suppliers that Coatings World spoke with cited a variety of reasons for this research environment, namely paint companies' intense focus on reducing costs and keeping inventory low, the rise in use of waterborne systems and the prohibitive cost of registering new materials, such as biocides.
"The cost of registering a new biocide active for the industrial market is so prohibitive that any new material would have to be a product that would be so overwhelmingly superior to be used to replace most other materials worldwide to justify expense," said Izzy Colon, vice president, science and technology, Troy Corp. Suppliers must ask themselves, "Where do I want to spend my R&D dollars, searching for a holy grail or do I look at improving what exists," he added.
While a large portion of raw material suppliers' R&D efforts have been centered on cost reduction, there have been advances, particularly in the growing areas of environmentally-friendly UV and waterborne materials.
"Research laboratories are having to respond to environmentally driven market and legislative demands, for example, by seeking means for reduction in VOC emissions through focused work on the appropriate newer coating technologies like high solids, waterborne powders and rad-cure," noted Dr. Holman of PRA.
Troy has been concentrating a large portion of its R&D on low and zero VOC products. "We are switching a lot of things from solvents to waterborne dispersions or to completely aqueous solutions in order to meet the stringent new VOC requirements for paints," said Dr. Colon. "Although our products are not used at high levels in paint, in order to give the paint formulator the most latitude, we are bringing zero or low VOC products to the marketplace."
Mr. Ross of Johnson Polymer also acknowledged the trend. "Customers are looking to reduce VOC, preferably meet or exceed current performance benchmarks while achieving equivalent or lower cost in use in formulations." he said. "The actual formulated and applied cost are lower or at the very least equivalent."
Environmental Concerns
Increased environmental regulations have had a great impact on R&D, proving to be challenging to both suppliers and manufacturers.
"Scientists involved with emulsion polymerization face a juggling act today when it comes to achieving environmental compatibility, regulatory compliance and high performance," said Francois Galloudec, business manager, emulsion polymerization, Cognis. "While European regulations are ahead of the U.S. regarding the use of APE-free (alkyl phenol ethoxylate surfactants, it is only a matter of time until the U.S. regulations will catch up with Europe. Canada is already starting to impose water waste restrictions on traditional APE-based surfactants."
As environmental regulations get increasingly restrictive, researchers have started to move away from traditional solvents and are looking for alternatives such as waterborne and UV-cure technologies.
"The drive towards water-based paint systems is bringing with it new requirements in pigment dispersing and rheology control technologies," said Andrew Grantham, international marketing manager for Avecia additives. "Older technologies in these areas tend to cause adverse effects (foaming, water sensitivity) and the challenge has been to develop new products that deliver benefits without the downsides."
The R&D team must work closely with manufacturers to ensure that products will be suitable for their specific needs.
Increasing performance demands and constant change in environmental regulations are placing challenging requirements on the 21st century formulator, said Mr. Galloudec. "Only close cooperation between the R&D chemists and their raw material suppliers can allow the raw materials components to be tailored to the end use application performance."
"The continued proliferation of regulations on the global chemical industry, coupled with the increasing demands of performance of the end used coatings and decreasing market volume, in part due to increased performance, has required a change in attitude of suppliers and coatings manufacturers," said Bradley M. Richards, manager, BASF automotive refinishing coatings R&D. According to Mr. Richards, the supplier can no longer survive with a short list of standardized products. Instead, the supplier and coatings formulating customer must jointly search through the customer's expertise and abilities to find the required solutions.
Top on any list of environmental concerns is the reduction of VOCs. "The drive to reformulate paints to reduce VOC numbers has become a top priority, especially on the west coast of the U.S.," said Alex Cornish, international marketing manager for Avecia protection and hygiene.
Another challenge is developing products that meet worldwide environmental regulations. According to Mr. Richards of BASF, labs are looking to find "solutions to the demand for globalization of product portfolios and the need to comply with the myriad of regional VOC regulations." He added that differing VOC regulations are not limited to the U.S., but are expanding, especially in western Europe.
The Future: Smart Coatings
As the economy begins to recover, R&D will begin to shift back to new product development. So what might be the next big thing? Innovative research is being done with regards to "cleaner coatings" and recycling coating waste.
"There is an interest in dendrimer based resins, powder and pigment slurries, low or initiator free radcure systems and powder coatings with dual UV-thermal cure," said PRA's Dr. Holman. "By way of a pointer for possible R&D direction, a phrase that is increasingly being heard is the smart coating."
These so-called smart coatings can respond to varying challenges to its environment, by changing color or self-healing. Included in this category are self cleaning and hygienic surface coatings.
"A range of raw materials are already available to formulators, some products exist and research interest in this field is increasing," said Dr. Holman.
Companies naturally want to get the most for their money, and material suppliers are meeting the challenge with a variety of value-added products. Here are some of the latest offerings from the raw materials suppliers Coatings World contacted. Troy has recently brought out universal pigment dispersants to be used in both solvent- and water-based pigments, which can help customers reduce inventory. It also has a number of new in-can and dry-film products with zero VOC, including Mergal K10N, K12N, Troysan 399 and Polyphase 662, 663 and 678. Sartomer's newest oligomer developments include hyperbranched (dendrimers) and metal containing oligomers. According to the company, the acrylated dendrimers provide high functionality and low viscosity at high molecular weight. The metal containing products provide inks, coatings and adhesives with enhanced adhesion, excellent pigment dispersion and the potential for obtaining reversibly crosslinked systems. In the non-UV area, Sartomer has new pigment dispersants; one type is a group of styrene maleimides that disperse pigments in aqueous media under acid conditions. Sartomer is also developing a series of amic acids based on styrene maleic anyhydride. These are pigment dispersants that can be used at high, low or neutral pH. UCB has concentrated its efforts in the areas of higher scratch and abrasion resins; lower viscosity resins for spray and vacuum applied coatings and UV-curable polyurethane dispersions. BASF's architectural coatings raw materials business unit has developed Acronal Optive 110, an acrylic emulsion engineered for high performance in semi-gloss applications at 150 VOC and Acronal Optive 230, an acrylic emulsion engineered for high performance in flat and low sheen applications at 50 VOC. Cognis has introduced Disponil A, Disponil FES and Texapon, new environmentally compatible anionic and nonionic surfactants for emulsion polymerization. These products are APE-free biodegradable surfactants produced using primarily natural, renewable resources, according to the company. Avecia's protection and hygiene unit has launched a number of environmentally compliant preservative systems. Its Proxel TN preservatives deliver cost-effective preservation without adding any VOCs. Avecia's additives business has just launched two new products, Solsperse 43000 and Solsperse 44000, that enable the paint formulator to produce highly pigmented, stable multi-compatible water-based pigment dispersions that have minimal impact on the water resistance of the final paint film, according to the company. Silberline continues to work on application techniques for vacuum metallized pigments, to achieve a liquid metal appearance in metallic coatings. Johnson Polymer has increased its manufacturing capabilities as a result of a long-term contract manufacturing agreement with Essential Industries, Inc. that enables it to use Essential's Fernley, NV polymer reactor plant. Last year, the companies announced a technology alliance to service polyurethanes and acrylic chemistries in the protective coatings industry. Dow currently has a broad range of EO- and PO-based glycol ethers. Among Ciba's latest offerings are photoinitiators for UV curing. Irgacure 819 provides excellent cure in pigmented or thick film applications and allows applications like automotive OEM, refinish and gel coats to be refinished with UV curing. Ciba has also just introduced a dispersed version of 819 called Irgacure 819 DW for waterborne applications. Both of these products are based on BAPO (bis-acylphosphine oxide) technology. It has also introduced two new products for the industrial coating marketplace. The Tinuvin 5000 series combines UVAs and radical scavengers in cost effective blends for industrial coating applications that don't have stringent color demands, according to Peter Schirmann, head, coatings business, Ciba Specialty Chemicals. "Additionally, we have also introduced a mid-performance line of cost-effective pigments, the Irgazin 2000 series. The series now contains unique reds, oranges and yellows," he said. OM Group has continued to improve metal-based driers and additives and drier systems for both high solids and waterborne coatings. At the end of 2001, OMG acquired the Rhodia metal organics business, adding a production and R&D facility in Europe. |

Arguably, our hometown has not yet reached the same "melting pot" level as attained — and by which defines — our homeland of America.
But no longer are we the same village of Southeast Tennessee natives who shaped the culture and molded the character of our community oh so many decades ago. Nowadays, our differences are no longer limited to color of skin and choice of denomination.
We are so very much more.
Yes, we are white and we are black. We are multiracial, just as we are brown, yellow and red.
We are Native American.
We are African-American.
We are Latin American.
We are South American.
We are of island descent from the Caribbean.
We are from motherlands of the South Pacific.
We are voyagers from ancestral borders of Europe.
We are descendants of the former Eastern Bloc.
We are refugees of civil conflict in nations of the Third World.
We are dreamers from the Dark Continent seeking the promise of education, health and opportunity.
We are from lands of a distant faith asking only acceptance, tolerance and goodwill.
We are followers of foreign trade whose lives trace an origin all the way to the Land of the Rising Sun.
We are voices from afar, accents of an unfamiliar tongue and faces of a paler light.
We are young. We are old. We are in between all extremes from newborn to final horizon.
In Cleveland and Bradley County, we truly are becoming a transglobal society. In keeping with this new theme of our existence, it is fitting that Cleveland State Community College welcomes the sixth annual Multicultural Fair on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the courtyard outside the L. Quentin Lane Gymnasium.
The fair is designed to celebrate different cultures — not just those in unseen lands on the other side of the world, but those who have made the concerted decision to travel to our Cleveland hometown in order to make it their new town.
Admission is free and the community is invited to attend.
Its 10 a.m. opening will feature an African Traditional Dress Fashion Show and Native Tongues Welcome with a colorful Parade of Nations to follow at 10:15 a.m.
Also on tap will be cultural-based entertainment, diverse food catered from Food Is Good of Cleveland, international studies information, booths featuring multiple nationalities, children's games and activities, displays by a variety of civic and social service organizations, performances by Filipino and St. Therese Catholic Church Spanish Youth Dancers, the Cleveland Community Jazz Band, Cleveland State Chorus and Vocal Rhapsody.
Fair attendees also will enjoy the inaugural Amateur Cultural Photography Contest which is open to students, community members, youth, and CSCC personnel. Judged categories will include Americana, Beyond Our Borders, People to People, Budding Artists, and Faculty and Staff.
The Multicultural Fair is a unique opportunity. It is a gift from the elements of a new Cleveland to those who have made our Bradley County hometown a source of beauty, pride and humanitarian focus for years, all spanning a roller coaster ride of time.
Our community always embraces this day of campus goodwill. CSCC administrators, faculty, staff and students have made it all possible by giving their hearts and devoting tireless hours to bridge communication and awareness gaps between our people.
We credit project director Jana Pankey, an assistant professor of the human services and social work program, and countless numbers of volunteers who again are bringing this taste of multicultural delight to its well-deserved center stage.
Questions about Saturday's eagerly anticipated fair may be directed to Pankey at 423-478-6230 or 423-473-2438.
It promises to be a heartwarming affair, one whose lasting goodwill tell the tale of a diverse people whose common thread lies in the shared fabric of their community, new or old.
We urge all to attend, to learn and most knowingly ... to appreciate.

Please help that how to implement the ISO standards in SOFTWARE QUAILTY"" if any one has any template about these, share me please. I have read about the ISO/IEC 9126 but don't know how to implement in software quality assurance, how to create matrices or how to use in process. Please like and help
Based on the information on wikipedia and searching online (there seem to be a lot of diagrams) it seems like the standard tries to set up a model using five (to 8) characteristics that are sub-divided into sub-characteristics. If I were you I'd mindmap the characteristics and sub-characteristics (although you could also just list them in a document) and use them as guideword heuristics to generate test ideas. If you generate test ideas from the characteristics you could make the case you were trying to implement the ideas. For example for the main characteristic of Portability and the sub-characteristic of Installability - you would hope to answer questions about the installability of the application you are testing. Does it install on all the platforms listed in the spec? Does it install the customer might expect it to install on? Does the application uninstall? Is the application easy to configure when installing (think custom install). The idea is you want to understand the characteristics enough to apply them to your application. Think of them and generate questions you want to answer by testing or exploring your application. |
Purely in relation to ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 (The New International Software Testing Standard): There's mixed opinion on ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119, but it does provide a versatile framework that can help/suggest structure to a QA/test team. Standards aren't everything - efficient and effective testing should be your first priority. If ISO-29119 is of interest, there's a lot to read, so I would start with ISO 29119-3 (Test Documentation) to get an idea of what/why test documentation is created. Get a feel for the hierarchy/structure of test documents (when/where/why they should be created), and it might also be worth having a think about how/whether test docs could be created dynamically in your organisation (or at least via templates) to save creation time. Beyond that, ISO 29119-2 (Test Processes) should then make more sense, and help you understand what activities you might need to consider (that you may not have previously). Personally, I find 29119-2 weighty, but it gives an indication of the procedural approach/activities involved within test processes. Having read and understood 29119-2 and 29119-3, the rest of the standard should be somewhat clearer and give you an idea of what changes are required within your organisation to help improve the structure of your test planning, processes and documentation. Where possible, consider your organisations existing software development practices/methodologies too. |
There is also another new standard rogarding softwore testing: ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 Software Testing (http://www.softwaretestingstandard.org/) |

It was the second round of the 2A State Playoffs and the West Bolivar Eagles showed just what playoff defense is all about as they shutout the Mustangs 25-0 to improve to 10-3 on the year and 7-1 at home. Mantachie ends their season at 10-5.
The Eagles smothered Mustang ball carriers and receivers all night making nearly impossible to move the football.
"The effort was there for us tonight. Our kids came out and they were excited to play. We really got after it tonight on defense. Offensively the line came out and sustained blocks longer and we were able to fire off the ball and move it pretty good," said Eagles Head Coach Joac Williams.
The Eagles received big games from seniors Deguadereck Rice and Ladarius Tucker as they led the West Bolivar defense.
Rice had two interceptions in the win and Tucker had a strip fumble return for a 60-yard touchdown.
Mantachie started the game with a promising drive, but things went south when
Rice intercepted a pass from Dustin Carrell and returned the ball 41 yards to the Mustangs' 25-yard line.
The interception put the in range and following three runs from Lenardo Brown the team was in business at the four-yard line.
On the next play Brown maneuvered around the right side for the score, but a holding penalty negated the touchdown and backed the Eagles up to the 14-yard line.
Not shaken by the penalty, West Bolivar quarterback Tyshawn Conway dropped back and connected with Rice for the score with 5:25 left in the first. Tucker added the point after for a 7-0 Eagles lead.
On the Mustangs next possession disaster struck again as Carrell was intercepted by Dekeenan Boyd who returned it 50-yards for the touchdown with 3:28 remaining in the first. The kick after was no good, but the Eagles now led 13-0.
The Eagles defense forced a punt on the Mustangs next possession and took over at the 46-yard line.
The Eagles put together a strong drive that fell over into the second quarter. Big runs from Brown pushed the Eagles down to 15-yard line, but and incompletion, a delay of game penalty and runs for loss led to a fourth and 16 from the 21-yard line.
Williams decided to go for it and Conway connected with Boyd for what would have been a touchdown, but Boyd caught the ball with hid left foot on the out of bounds line to turn the ball over on downs.
The Eagles defense was stout again and forced another punt giving the ball to West Bolivar on the 50-yard line.
This time Conway used Brown as a receiver on a screen pass that went for 23 yards. On the next play Brown broke free for a 19-yard run. Two short runs from Brown put the Eagles in good position and on the next play the senior running back punched it in from one yard out with 3:57 left in the second. The kick was no good but West Bolivar led 19-0, which would be the score at halftime.
In the second half it was Tucker who put the Eagles on the board again as he stripped the ball from Mantachie's Andrew Malone and raced 60-yards for the score with 7:05 left in the third. The kick attempt failed again, but the Eagles led 25-0 for what proved to be the final score of the night.
Brown finished the night with 112 yards on 30 carries with a touchdown, Conway completed 4-of-13 passes for 76 yards with a touchdown and Rice caught three passes for 53 yards and a touchdown.
Larry Walker led the defense with 13 tackles, Tucker had 12 tackles with a fumble return touchdown, Rice had two tackles and two interceptions and Boyd had an interception return for a touchdown.
The Eagles will now face Calhoun City on the road in the third round at 7 p.m. Friday. Calhoun City (10-3) blasted Walnut Friday 43-6.

This game has endless possibilities. 90% of the time I play is done with good friends who know the game and even if we lose the final battle, the last player to get killed or the players who defeat the Ancient One, will have to come up with a cool ending. I decided to post an example of the many awesome endings we had:
In this session we battled against Nyarlathotep. The investigator who survived the final battle was Monterey Jack (the Archaeologist). Somewhere during gameplay I obtained the ally Ruby Standish and the card I drew for having Ruby join me was none other than the Necronomicon. (I won't tell you the story and dialogue of when I got her, i'll just skip to the ending)
At the end of the game when the investigators (meaning only me, since all my friends died in the final battle) won the game, I had to come up with an ending.
The police arived and found Jack with a gun in his hand and no one around him. Jack was arrested (Ruby was nowhere to be seen). As when he was standing in the back seat of the police vehicle he passed a dark alley and noticed Ruby standing there close to the wall.
"Will he be a problem?" a robbed figure from within the darkness asks Ruby. "No, the police won't belive him, I left too mutch incriminating evidence at the Silver Twilight Loudge when I stole the item, and also gave him the fake copy I recieved from you." Ruby hands over the Necronomicon to the robbed figure. "I could really get used to this." sayis Ruby as she enters the darkness with the robbed figure. The End.
I know, not one of my best endings but it's the most recent one. So...does anyone else have any cool ending to tell?

The new addition to University Village is starting to fill up, and the first restaurant to move in is something truly special.
Kurt Dammeier, who has made some of the city's best comfort foods at Beecher's, Bennett's, and the pig-shaped food truck Minimus/Maximus, has staked out a new spot with Liam's.
The concept here is simple: comfort food dressed to the nines, made with locally-sourced ingredients, and designed to be shared.
Start off with the exceptional oven-roasted meatball with cheese curds and tomato sauce or selections from the cured meat and cheese board.
Entrees are solid, with some early breakaway favorites being the Brussels sprouts basted in duck fat and the awesome braised lamb shanks.
Of course, they sell Beecher's classic mac 'n' cheese here, with some awesome additions — get it with Dungeness crab to really go over the top.
Even better, you don't have to huddle inside. Liam's rocks a year-round outdoor patio that is comfortably heated by a raging gas fireplace.
You just got a new winter hangout. Embrace it.
Price: 2 (out of 4)
Noise: 2 (out of 4)
