The violence tearing apart Libya might appear to be an ideological struggle. In fact, it is an economic competition between two rival criminal networks.
Revolts against authoritarian regimes don't always succeed -- but they're more likely to if they embrace civil resistance rather than violence. Over the last century, nonviolent campaigns have been twice as likely to succeed as violent ones and they increase the chances that toppling a dictatorship will lead to peace and democracy.
Even as Susan Rice laid out the Obama administration's plans for a more modest Middle East policy last month, the U.S. military was preparing to step up its assistance in Libya and help the country build a new army. With all the security, economic, and political problems that await, it might be time to consider doing even more.
Despite protests from Libya, the ICC's decision to try Saif al-Islam, the son of the Libyan dictator Muammar al-Qaddafi, might seem to offer a chance for real justice. It doesn't.
Nearly two years after NATO's much-hailed intervention in Libya, observers fear that the country could become a failed state. Nevertheless, Libyans are optimistic about the country's future -- and for good reason.
It's easy to be pessimistic about the Arab Spring, given the post-revolutionary turmoil the Middle East is now experiencing. But critics forget that it takes time for new democracies to transcend their authoritarian pasts. As the history of political development elsewhere shows, things get better.
The Arab uprisings of 2011, once a great source of hope for democracy enthusiasts, have given way to sectarian clashes and political instability. The Middle East has not yet shed its authoritarian yoke, and the United States needs a policy that reflects that reality.
Managing Editor Jonathan Tepperman interviews Dartmouth College Professor Dirk Vandwalle on post-Qaddafi Libya, the ramifications of the Benghazi attack, and the lingering problem of rogue militias.
The protests engulfing the Middle East go to the heart of who gets to police public morality in post-Arab Spring states. Salafis see themselves as the rightful guardians of the public sphere, and they are trying to ensure others see them that way, too.
In light of the killing of the U.S. ambassador, it's tempting to be pessimistic about Libya. But just a year after the fall of a long-standing tyrant, the country is moving on and has peacefully elected a new government. As it turns out, building a functioning state from scratch can be a good thing.

To his truck, and he just went in and I didn't see him what he had in his
hand and he had a bat, and he just beat me up. I have a ball right here.
He hit me right here and I just got . . . I just feel [sic] unconscious, and he

He was just laying there all stabbed, Sir, and I didn't have my pants on.
And then I just got scared and I just grabbed Mr. Barry Horn's car keys
and I just took off to Mexico.
Detective Clipper said that Horn had previously asked Martinez to stay away
. . . .
and then I advised him that I wasn't able to contact his girlfriend , so he
would know that I did make an attempt to contact his girlfriend. And that's
when he asked me, Hey, I want to talk to you about something, and I
said, Okay, but I'm not going to talk to [you] just here, I need to read you
your rights again.
Detective Clipper testified that because he was not expecting to interview
the magistrate. And I said–I was down there to do the magistrate. I
wanted to see who the judge was and stuff like that so I could be aware of
it. And the–I said, I tried to contact your girlfriend, actually twice, and
she didn't answer. He just nods his head okay. And he goes, I need to
talk to you, Detective. And I said, Okay. So if you talk to me, I need to
read your rights on anything [sic]. So at that time, we walked him

wanted a break or whatever.
Yes, Sir.
[Detective Clipper]: And this morning you contacted me and said you just

Today's the second interview. Okay? Uhm . . . and
I'm going to put that up here. Uhm . . . Two for
second interview. Okay? Uhm . . . and you said you
just wanted to tell me the truth now. Is that correct?
Yes, Sir.
[Detective Clipper]: Cause you know what you said. I'm going to ask
Detective Vallejo to read your rights to you. Is that
okay or do you want to read them?
No. That's okay.
[Detective Clipper]: Okay.
[Detective Vallejo]: You want me to read them to you?
Detective Vallejo proceeded to read the Miranda warnings to Martinez, stating
Martinez stated that he understood this waiver of his rights, and he signed the
Clipper that you had nothing to do with the death of Barry
Horn, right?
And then you tell Detective Clipper that you did kill Mr. Horn,right?
At one point, you're lying, right? You can't have it bothways, is that correct, Mr. Martinez?
Either you did kill him or you didn't.
So you didn't feel so threatened as not to lie to DetectiveClipper, right?
. . . .
Mr. Martinez, if you felt so threatened that your family wasgoing to be put in jail, you would have either tell them [s ic]exactly what they wanted you to say or tell them the truth ifthat's what they wanted, right?

Right to Cut Off Questioning
however, we also consider other facts and circumstances in determining whether
Appellant's right to remain silent was scrupulously honored. Appellant was not coerced,
threatened, or promised anything for talking with officers. Officers testified Appellant had
access to necessities such as food, water, and restroom facilities. Finally, although
officers initiated the questioning that resulted in Appellant's statement, ongoing
investigations provided them with additional information which tended to show that
Appellant was present at the scene of the murder. These additional considerations tend
to support the conclusion that police 'scrupulously honored' Appellant's right to remain

Call of Juarez (DX10)
Version and / or Patch Used: DX10 Benchmark Demo
Timedemo or Level Used: Built-in Test
Developer Homepage: http://www.techland.pl/en/
Product Homepage: http://www.coj-game.com
Call of Juarez is a Western-themed FPS from Techland. The North America release was one of the first games to utilize DX10.
Call of Juarez is loosely based on a number of Western movie hits from the last four decades, particularly the Spaghetti Westerns that became popular in the sixties and early seventies. The game features two different characters: Billy "Candle", a young fugitive accused of murder and the Reverend Ray, an ex-outlaw who turned to religion, believing that God Himself has chosen Ray to be the instrument of His wrath.
Call of Juarez seems to clearly favor the AMD offering though you're not going to be doing any gaming at these settings with minimums well under 10FPS.

#yyc election 2010: The Burrows "Smart Card"
The first thing I thought when I saw Burrow jump from 0% to 48% on my poll (the one of the left hand side of this website) was that someone hijacked my poll in his favour. Now I'm not too sure.
He seems to be floating some interesting ideas that might just take root in the minds of Calgarians.
I know, I know–he's a long shot in this race, and not a party to the two-horse race Hehr vs McIver so he isn't receiving much attention. The media has glossed him over and, well, I think quite a few Calgarians have tossed him in favour of looking toward perceivably more popular choices. I think this is a shame, really.
I'm positive if he can elbow his way into my blog by marshalling almost 40 citizens to flip the results of a poll on this wee-out-of-the-way blog he should be able to edge his way into the media and the minds of Calgarians. And I think this'll be great, actually. I think him being a big voice in the election will be a great thing because he has floated a really great idea in a race that, more or less, has been void of them over the last few months.
It's the Burrows "Smart Card".
It calls for a streamlining of government, really. It pulls away bureaucracy, pushes for quick access along with open access, and allows for comfort/ease. Cost and its implementation might be an issue, but the monies saved by, say, not needing to collect coinage from meters or the need to have a lot of staff at community centres or city hall.
And it's not only cost, though. Two things are key with this kind of tool: crime prevention and metrics. On the former, we can track activities, find people, and coordinate with police with this tool so as to keep Calgarians safe. On the other side of this coin, we can measure to usage of services by these cards–meaning that city hall can judge what is or isn't working.
It's a great idea, in other words.
If Mr. Burrows wanted to set himself apart from his competition this was a great way to do it. While all the other campaigns are just starting to wake, he's out there establishing his existence as a guy who wants easy, simple, and efficient services to Calgarians. And that's oodles better than what we've been hearing from other candidates, who either are quite content with being known as "Mr. No" or are fixated
One Response to #yyc election 2010: The Burrows "Smart Card"
Nice post. I like his promise regarding the airport tunnel. We need to do something about the airport authority.
However, there is the "storm in a teaport" scandal. Remember how he tried to get the city to pays out for a few university courses on corporation governance? Do you think the voters and the media will remember that story?
And there's the matter of his loss in the last civic election.
Which mayoral candidates are you talking about being "fixated" and fixated with what?

2016 Ford SVT Bronco Redesign and Specs
- By Admin
- 2 April, 2014
- No Comments
After 20 years Ford is bringing back the 2016 Ford SVT Bronco and it's not the 2004 concept model like numerous thought. This brand new model is based off the strongly prominent Ford Atlas and if past does without a doubt duplicate itself, this can kick-start the 2-door 4×4 SUV market once again.
2016 Ford SVT Bronco Redesign
The 2016 Ford SVT Bronco isn't really a cookie cutter soccer mommy all-wheel drive bag with a steering tire, it's an authentic off-road rig and its large dimension and menacing appearance make no apologies at all. The 2016 Ford SVT Bronco is all business all the time like its predecessors before it.
The fullsize Bronco was inarguably among the best 4×4 SUVs of all time so it's just all-natural that the Blue Oval would certainly bring this famous off-road monster back. Lots of, including ourselves, thought we would never once again see the resurrection of the precious Ford Bronco once again Ford has actually stunned every person and done exactly what was seemingly difficult. Ford has brought back among the most renowned names in its lineup and not a minute too soon considering it has been gone for 20 years.
The single greatest factor that this truck had not been constructed faster was that the only manner in which the project was able to obtain approved was if it was done as an SVT automobile and with the highly successful SVT Raptor, the Bronco program would certainly have to be put on the backburner while the F-150 SVT Raptor program ran its course. Now that manufacturing of the SVT Raptor is finishing in 2015, Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) will be rolling out manufacturing of the brand new 2016 Ford SVT Bronco and this wild steed will no doubt end up being a massive success in the 4×4 SUV market.
Engine and Performance
The 2016 Ford SVT Bronco is offered with 3 different engine options from a base 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 that pumps out 420 hp to an optional 4.9-liter Powerstroke V-6 diesel engine that is based off the revised 6.7-liter Powerstroke diesel. The 4.9-liter Powerstroke delivers 330 hp and also 645 lb-ft of torque. This brand new Powerstroke V-6 diesel motor will allow the 2016 Ford SVT Bronco to carry heavy payloads with ease while considerably enhancing fuel economy over the typical 5.0-liter Coyote V8.
As if that wasn't good enough, we're listening to that there is a good possibility that we'll see the 5.8-liter supercharged V-8 engine from the Mustang Shelby GT500, make its manner in which into the SVT Bronco. With 662 hp and 631 lb-ft of torque on tap, there won't be a lot this all-new SVT Bronco won't be able to dominate. To be flawlessly honest, the SVT Bronco probably doesn't need much more in comparison to 500 hp to run through the gunk in a hurry yet having 662 horse power available at your disposal is just amazing!
Transmission selections are either a 6R140 6-speed automatic transmission or a ZF-6 rate manual transmission in case you such as to row your very own while diminishing the freeway. The 2016 Ford SVT Bronco additionally features a Dana 60 front differential as well as a Sterling 10.25-inch back differential with 4.10 equipments. You may be questioning why it is that the Bronco has 6 lug wheels if it clearly has 1-ton running gear but think it or not, these axles are closer to a complete drifting competition axle rather than a regular 1-ton axle. The wheel studs on this wild steed are enormous 5/8-inch studs to hold up to significant off-road abuse.
While it could seem counter user-friendly to not supply the SVT Bronco with the same suspension that was under the Ford SVT Raptor, Ford has claimed it really did not intend to create a Raptor copycat yet that does not suggest the SVT Bronco cannot play in the gunk. As a matter of fact, the radius arm front suspension has actually been remodelled to pattern 12-inches of tire trip which is slightly better than the SVT Raptor's 11.5 inches of front wheel trip. The reality is that this suspension was made to crawl up gnarly trails that call for a lot of pavement clearance but make no mistake, the 2016 Ford SVT Bronco will swallow whooped out desert roadways as well thanks to a set of FOX Racing Internal Bypass shocks at all four edges.
Even with the no fuss nature of the 2016 Ford SVT Bronco, it's still a vehicle that can be daily made easily and goes to residential both off-road and on the freeway while having the ability to hold 5 grownup passengers or even the occasional pallet of concrete. While several lovers will have you believe that trucks today aren't fairly just what they utilized to be, we're going to go out on a limb and say no, they're not created like they utilized to be; they are in truth better in comparison to ever before!
Release Date and Price
While heaven Oval has not yet launched any type of pricing, it's most likely a sure thing to assume that it will go for around the exact same price as the outbound 2015 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor crew cab truck. Something's for certain, if you've gotten this much into our story and are as excited regarding wheeling in this new generation Ford Bronco as we are, this minor detail could simply make your blood boil. This was all part of a sophisticated system for one of our largest April Fools pranks ever before. Satisfy take a couple of minutes to clean away the rips from your eyes. Now just before you make a decision to punch us square in the jaw for doing this to you, simply remember something, if our voices are loud enough, we simply might meet an SVT Bronco from heaven Oval in the near future.

This is probably one of my favorite outfits recently. I got this dress for my birthday from my mother-in-law and I LOVE it. I admit I may have worn in three times in the last few weeks. I love it that much. I wore this outfit to some meetings last week in Springfield and out and about the town in between our meetings and such. I really am smitten with side building murals. I'm actually about to head out to the post office and mail orders and then go on a hunt for murals with Penelope here in Tulsa. We have a lot planned this afternoon. I have to admit that this 'Dressing Post' is probably my favorite so far. I feel really confident when I wear this outfit...love it so much. Funny how clothes can make you feel that way huh?
Miss Penelope in her sunglasses. Gosh she's such a sweet heart. If you can't tell by the last photo by itself...she makes me one happy momma. Her dress, shoes and glasses are from Target and the necklace is from Decades Vintage in Springfield Missouri. Penelope was super friendly with the owner when we visited last week and the owner of the store was sooo kind she let Penelope pick out a necklace and take it with her. Penelope's been wearing it a lot ever since. My outfit:

Hi everyone (hopefully someone from FFG too),
I've created a tool to make Mansions of Madness easier to setup and play. It's basically a tool for Windows that allows you to skip most of the cards in the game setup.
It asks you the questions from the stories and then provides information during the game:
What cards you actually need - as the objective, events, clues, obstacles, and locks are just presented in the UI of the tool.
What is in each room, how many clues and events the investigators have seen so far, the objective can be viewed, and events appear when they should (based on you clicking a button each time you reach the event step).
It uses a relatively simple XML format to store the information for the scenarios - making it possible for people to create their own scenarios.
Here are some pictures (it is very simple):
My question is, can I submit this to boardgamegeek.com with the text of the cards and story within the XML?

Peter Eichler and his firm Aletheia Research and Management seem to have had a good run; Aletheia managed $10 billion and per DealBook "Mr. Eichler's stellar investment performance attracted the likes of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, which entrusted him with millions of dollars of their clients' money." But now that Aletheia is in bankruptcy everyone's a critic, and the latest SEC's complaint makes Aletheia out to be a garden-variety bucket shop with no evident investing abilities.
The SEC's main complaint here is that Eichler, the sole and unsupervised options trader – and, apparently, everything trader – at the firm, made lots of options trades that he didn't allocate for an hour or more after making them. Winning trades were allocated to his personal accounts or those of his friends and employees; losing trades were allocated to the accounts of two in-house hedge funds. There were varying degrees of blatancy here, with the worst being 463 trades allocated after the positions were closed, which returned 11% to favored customers, 17% to Aletheia insiders (including 19% to Eichler's personal account), and negative 1.7% to the in-house hedge funds. The overall result, across all categories of blatancy, was:
Between mid-August 2009 and the end of November 2011, the Favored Aletheia-Related Accounts and Favored Custom Accounts obtained about $4.14 million in profit on option trades allocated more than one hour after execution, or allocated after the position was closed out (including roughly $2 million in trading profits to Eichler himself), while the Disfavored Hedge Funds lost $4.4 million on late-allocated or "perfect information" trades.
So one thing to notice there is that the net profits, firm-wide, on these option trades were negative $260,000-ish, which, I mean, which would anger you more in a manager, (1) allocating you his worst trades or (2) being a money-loser in the aggregate? Read more »

So you can hardly blame the couple who took over Ranelle's in January for taking their time--particularly when it's hard to so much as move a chair in this tiny, twenty-seat spot on Sixth Avenue without someone noticing. Original owner Ranelle Gregory opened the Northern Italian eatery in 1992 to almost instant success, but she got out of the business entirely at the end of last year after her second Ranelle's, on Downing Street, failed to live up to the first one's reputation. She sold the Downing location to Canino's, and the Sixth Avenue site now belongs to GYnter and Marie Nussbaumer, a Swiss pair who worked for hotel restaurants in their native country for 25 years before coming to Denver.
Initially, the Nussbaumers kept chef Jason Elrod--Sean Fowler, Ranelle's first chef and the one who earned rave reviews for the place, had moved on long before--and left the menu intact, a move that seemed to placate Ranelle's habitues. Seven weeks ago, though, James Cavanaugh took over as head chef. A Florida native who most recently worked for Denver's Bella Ristorante, Cavanaugh plans to rework the menu in the coming weeks. But he promises to retain the dishes that Fowler created, mainly because he thinks they serve as the backbone of Ranelle's repertoire. "They're good recipes," he says. "They're based on authentic Northern Italian cooking. And they work, especially in this tiny kitchen."
The smallness of the restaurant has always been part of its charm--although there's little space for maneuvering, the tables are situated so that diners aren't exactly in each other's laps--and the bright, airy decor is magnified by the little-dressed windows that let the light pour in. When darkness falls, the feel is one of being at a small dinner party. An intimate party, at that: Our table sat beneath the wine rack, and waitresses had to ask us to lean in or grab a bottle for them several times during our dinner in order to keep the full dining room supplied with vino. Cavanaugh says some people request that table because they like to know what everyone else is drinking; I suspect the majority of the people seated there pray for a teetotaling crowd. Otherwise, they can expect a few interruptions.
But Italian food is good conversation food, so we always were able to jump back into discourse after these distractions. Particularly conducive to relaxed catching-up with friends was the antipasta alla Ranelle's ($14.50 for four diners), an inviting array of meats and cheeses that continued the previous Ranelle's commitment to fresh, top-notch ingredients. One of the primary benefits to dining in such a petite cafe is that the storage space in the kitchen is usually proportionate to the eating space--which means that not much food can be kept around for long. According to Cavanaugh, almost all perishable items are delivered daily, and the antipasta's components change depending on what he has available. On this visit, the platter contained several good-quality meats, such as prosciutto and the Italian smoked sausage mortadella; salmon slices that had been marinated in balsamic vinegar; grilled white anchovies; two slices of bruschetta; and four cheeses: cambazola, parmigiano-reggiano, goat and fresh mozzarella. Not knowing the bruschetta came with the antipasti, we had ordered more of the same ($4.50)--but there can never be too much grilled bread covered with oven-roasty tomatoes, fresh basil and olive oil, anyway.
Ranelle's menu continues to be set up Italian-style, but as at most Italian trattorias in this country, the portions are such that the kitchen doesn't really expect anyone to order a primi pasta course and a secondi meat course. Especially not if they start with salads, as we did. The insalata del carello ($4.50) was overpriced for what was essentially a lot of mixed greens coated with a simple red-wine vinaigrette; the day's special ($6.95) brought mixed greens with crisp-tender asparagus spears in a pineapple vinaigrette that came close to deserving the asking price. Another special, the fruit soup ($4.50), wasn't what we expected, but we found ourselves pleasantly surprised. Instead of the anticipated puree of fruit, perhaps enhanced by cream, we received a clear broth with the consistency and, to some extent, the flavor of the liquid from a sweetened can of fruit. In it floated several slices of kiwi. The soup was weird, but it was refreshing on a hot day.
Although Cavanaugh uses fruit quite a bit on his summer specials menu, he has a light touch with it that's most welcome. The Chilean sea bass ($18.95), for example, featured a piece of drab, overcooked fish saved by a tangy citrus salsa. There was nothing Northern Italian about it--Cavanaugh is given free rein with the specials--but it was a smart dish despite the lackluster fish. After carefully perusing the menu, I'd opted for the pork in a sauce of apples, vermouth and cambazola cheese ($19), only to learn that someone else had hogged my pig. (Dining in such a small space also has its drawbacks: The kitchen can prepare only so many orders of an entree.) Instead, the kitchen substituted lamb, which worked surprisingly well. Three well-trimmed chops had been pan-roasted and then swathed in the incredible, fruit-based sauce--one of Fowler's creations that Cavanaugh considers a keeper. Also sticking around is the spaghettini al pomodoro, con basilico, olio e aglio ($9), and rightly so: The deft balance of fresh tomatoes, basil, olive oil and garlic seemed simple, but it offered a textbook example of what this classic preparation should taste like. The fettuccine primavera ($9.50) won't be around much longer, because Cavanaugh isn't a fan of the dish, but I thought it praiseworthy: The homemade pasta (Cavanaugh also makes the pappardelle and other, larger noodles on the premises) was covered with a lusciously thick, rich sauce packed with broccoli, carrots and yellow squash.

Inventory Centralization Patterns with Composite Services CTP2
Recently my friend and coworker Dmitri Ossipov started his blog with great posts about some of the details and many useful links to well know and documented SOA patterns that this CTP includes.
Patterns & Practices: Composite Services CTP2 is Public
Finally the last CTP and pre-release version for the Composite Services is out. There were quite a lot of changes since CTP1. We added many new samples and many enhancements to the repository (DB) which is now called Inventory in sync with SOA Patterns. Here is a brief list of the main changes according to the included documentations.
Changes and additions in this release
This CTP release contains reusable source code and samples to illustrate implementation for the following patterns and scenarios:
Repair and Resubmit – this pattern is implemented in ESB Toolkit 2.0 as part of Exception Management Framework (EMF). This code drop provides code sample how to implement this pattern for Windows AppFabric workflow service, using Exceptions Web Service and workflow activities to create fault message, which will be created in EMF database.
Analytic Tracing – this code drop contains reusable code and samples for implementing ETW tracing: event collector service and database that store collected events. This capability may be used for scenarios that need flexibility on how collected events are decoded and processed via extensibility points you can configure and implement: plugins and event decoders with leveraging ETW tracing capabilities provided by the event collector service.
Inventory Centralization – this code drop contains service catalog database, web services and samples to show how to implement Metadata Centralization, Schema Centralization and Policy Centralization patterns.
Service Virtualization – we included sample for implementing this pattern using WCF routing service( which is part of .NET framework) and service metadata centralization capabilities to define routing service metadata in service catalog.
Termination Notification – we included sample for implementing this pattern using sample WCF service and policy centralization capabilities provided by this CTP release.
You will also find many new videos that will be uploaded to the home page any time soon.
Stay tunned for new posts regarding implemetation details and advanced customizations for custom policy exporters/importers and monitoring.
UPDATE: Check further details on Dmitri's great blog here: Composite Services CTP2 Released and Applying Inventory Centralization Patterns with Composite Services CTP2

by Chef Cherie Soria
Yield: 1 1/2 cups/370 mL (6-8 servings)
1 ripe avocado
6 tablespoons (90 mL) unsweetened raw cocoa powder or carob powder
1/4 cup (60 mL) agave syrup
2 tablespoons (30 mL) evaporated cane juice
2 tablespoons (30 mL) plus 1/2 cup (120 mL) purified water
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) vanilla extract
Pinch of ground cinnamon
1. Combine the avocado, cocoa powder, agave syrup, evaporated cane juice, 2 tablespoons of the water, and all of the vanilla extract and cinnamon in a food processor fitted with the S blade and process until smooth.
2. Add the remaining 1/2 cup (120 mL) of water and process again until well blended. The more water you add, the thinner the sauce will be. (If you prefer to use a blender rather than a food processor, be careful not to process the mixture too long. If too much air is beaten into the sauce it will become too fluffy.)
3. Stored in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator, Chocolate Velvet will keep for up to 1 week.
Chocolate Frosting or Filling: Use only 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of the water and omit the remaining 1/2 cup (120 mL).
Chocolate Mousse: Use a blender instead of a food processor and use only 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the water to create a fluffy consistency similar to a classic mousse.
Frozen Fudge Bars: Freeze the mixture in Popsicle trays.

The Missing Trace Mineral
Amazing Relief for Over 40 Health Problems!
Indium-XL promises to bring welcome, rejuvenating health to a modern population as it promotes life extension. Indium has long been regarded as nutritionally unnecessary because of its total absence from the food chain.
Current research suggests that aging is precipitated by the decreased production of important hormones as one grows older. Indium seems to counter this health and energy-degrading trend by stimulating a cascade of hormonal production to youthful levels.
Within days, users report increased energy, improved sight, more restful sleep, more muscle strength, increased endurance, increased libido, and dramatic relief from a myriad of health problems that have plagued them for years. Indium provides the ability to say each day I feel younger than the day before.
Indium-XL is a highly refined form of the 49th element, Indium, and may well be "THE MISSING ELEMENT" in human nutrition. Because Indium is not naturally soluble in water it is not absorbed readily by plants and so its use and need in human nutrition has been overlooked. You will be amazed to learn of its many benefits when included in human nutrition.
Can a person live without Indium-XL? Obviously yes, but once you start taking it and observe the difference it makes in your life you won't want to live without it. What Indium-XL does is directly stimulate the pituitary gland and its neighbor, the hypo-thalamus gland. Imagine the health restorative effect of 30 hormones being secreted at youthful levels.
While Indium-XL provides the widest range of benefits to older people, everyone can achieve improved health with Indium-XL. Both the mind and body benefit from Indium-XL. Concentration and mental energy are improved and strength and stamina are increased. Athletes often experience a 10% increase in physical endurance. The benefits are almost endless!

The Queue: What do GMs do ... {WoW}
Aug 30th 2011 2:59PM Yes I was talking about full accounts, most likely hacked ones from people who have been scammed. It's a fair point to have to many restrictions will make the game less enjoyable. And there probably won't be a real way to stop gold spamers, if they really want to they'll find a way. I play on Saurfang realm and I swear they breed or multiply every minute. As soon as I ignore one there's two more that take thier place.
Whenever I use the Report Spam button they can still spam in trade or another channel. I usually log over a lot with the amount of alts I have.
I will try the addon to see if that works. I just hate how this is normal with MMO games nowadys.
The Queue: What do GMs do ... {WoW}
Aug 30th 2011 12:28PM What restrictions do they have? These gold spamers can just make a charachter go into a faction city and post as long as they want. If they get reported they can just do it again. There's so many of them it always looks as if Bliazzard do nothing. If they won't put more restrictions on low levels then they should at least increase the amount of players you can ignore. My list is always full and if I delete one I have to add another about 10 minutes later. Report spam button does nothing at all and they always spam in every channel, some of them even yell thier macro. Just ruins the game with so many of them around.
The Queue: What do GMs do ... {WoW}
Aug 30th 2011 12:08PM Awesome, first time getting a question on the queue :)
Most likely won't get another one again but i'll try
Why don't Blizzard ban anyone under level 10 from posting in trade chat? I believe that if they do we will see a drop in gold spamers. I really doubt any of them will bother leveling thier fake toons to be able to post. Every day thier is new gold spamers and as soon as you block one another apperas. They need to try and get rid of them or make the ignore list unending.

MPD Field Trip: Wrigley Field Part dos
September 18th, 2009Despite the silliness of some fans, the game itself was pretty good. It would have been nice if my favorite players did a bit better (Cameron, Gamel and Escobar went a combined 1 for 10), but Cam did have the first RBI and do one of the most awesome things I have ever seen (more on this later).
The game was cruising along in the fourth when the Brewers managed to load the bases. That was the good news. The bad news was that there was two outs and Jody Gerut was at the plate. At 2-2 I was biting my nails a bit, but then something happened that hadn't even crossed my mind as a possibility. He hit a grand slam... RIGHT TO ME!Or at least it felt that way. In actuality the ball was caught by a person sitting two rows more or less directly behind me. I made the leap, but I wasn't nearly tall enough and I kicked over my beer in the process. The person who catches the ball is a Cubs fan (which is funny when you see how happy he is in the picture above) and is given the "throw it back" treatment. I box my man out and prepare to defend the shot, going for a Mutombo esque block complete with finger wagging, but I am nowhere near tall enough and the ball sails into the field.
Of course as soon as I spilled the beer it splashed all over the pregnant woman. Thankfully, someone had went to the bathroom and left their shirt behind so I was able to clean it up. Kidding. I actually took off my jersey and wiped her arm off until she finally said "Okay, it's been fifteen minutes. You can stop now." THEN I asked her if she wanted anything: water, Gatorade, food, but she declined. That's how you handle spilling beer on someone. Apologize and then attempt to make things right by purchasing goods. It's kind of like cheating in that way. After that one of the pregnant woman's friends said "See? Nobody messes with a pregnant woman." I said "I know, that's why I keep a girl pregnant at all times." Oh, YOU.
After the whole homerun debacle Braun strikes out and the inning ends. Now feels like a good time to yell "I am the nicest guy you have ever met!" I mean, if you think you can be a total moron for four innings and it will all go away because you're not sitting right next to me anymore. I don't know what to tell you.
It's about time for a beer/bathroom run. I have been dreading this moment since the day I bought the tickets. I've said this before, but I'll say it again: one time I got someone's puke on me in a Wrigley Field bathroom. I don't like the troughs. It's not fun for me. So to my surprise when I walked down the stairs to the bathroom I found that this particular bathroom had toilets and urinals. I'm not sure how happy you are allowed to get over something like this, but I definitely pushed the limit of whatever it is. I can admit when I'm wrong and Wrigley did this particular area's bathroom right. Good show.
When I went up the stairs to grab a beer from the vendor (can someone explain to me why they just park at the top of the stairs? Why can't they walk up and down the aisles like every other vendor in every other sport? What makes these guys special?) I was interrupted by a Cubs fan. He was clearly trying to impress his buddies when he pretended to know me and asked if I was from Fond Du Lac. Nope. "Oh man, Kenosha then?" After Racine I asked him if hanging out by the beer vendor and harassing people in Brewers jerseys was fun. Apparently, it is. There must not be much to do in Chicago if buying a tickets to a Cubs game and by the beer vendor where you can't see the game is your idea of a good time.
Speaking of beer vendors I noticed this guy started pre-pouring his beers before he sold them to save time. What the hell is with that? These beers are warm as it is, it's 110 frickin' degrees and sunny. I'm not taking your pre-poured beer. You will get me a new one that is resting in the ice because it will stay colder 15 seconds longer than the rest of them. Seriously, how easy do you guys need your job to be? You already skipped out on the walking part and now you are trying to skip out on the keeping the beer cold part? Do me a favor Wrigley Field bleachers beer vendor, die.
The apathy in the stands is pretty incredible. When the Brewers get the lead the Cubs fans seem to take on the mood of "it doesn't matter anyways" and are never fully committed to seeing their team make a comeback. Many fans leave by the seventh. It's a decent sized group of fans sticks the whole thing out and gives Corey Hart a hard time when he enters the game in right field. (Anyone else find this move funny? It's like Macha said "Gerut, you won the game for us and you're probably better than him at defense but we're putting in Corey anyways.) This is where Wrigley is fun. When Gerut was in the outfield there was no real attempt to taunt him. I heard one fan yell "Gerut what's your sister's name?" and the security guard said "Come on now, no family" (which I obviously found hilarious), but that's about it. Until Hart came in I had the best taunt of the day with "Hey Bradley, two outs", but when Hart came in is when it really started. It was generally good natured (then again he was white), funny and it makes it so you can see why some people swear by the bleachers. It's a good time.
By the way have I ever mentioned that Mike Cameron is awesome? In the past I have said this about his offense, his defense and his work as a teammate. In this game though Mike Cameron did something that was so totally and completely awesome that I never, ever want him to play for anyone else. In the bottom of the eight he caught the last out of the inning and went to throw it into the crowd, but then stopped short. The crowd started going crazy wanting him to throw it and he did a pump fake with the ball, stopped and headed back the dugout. The crowd started booing like crazy and when he came out for the ninth a big "Cameron sucks" chant started in the bleachers. It was one of the coolest things I've seen a baseball player do. I love Mike Cameron.
When Trevor Time came around I tried to get a "Hells Bells" sing-a-long started, but it failed just like the "Roll Out the Barrell" sing-a-long we attempted at the 7th inning stretch. Weird, I know. Hoffman made easy work of the Cubs and the Brewers sealed the win. Roll out the L flag.
After the game we went to a bar called Mullens that was pretty excellent. The food was good (cheesy garlic wings were great) and despite the regular Wrigleyville prices they did have game day specials. I was drinking Fat Tire Sunshine for $3 which was just fine if you ask me. We chose this bar because I actually met some people that work there a few months before at a bar in Wisconsin. We talked for about twenty minutes about Cubs fan that are douchebags and I have to tell you, they made me look like an amateur. These guys were college professors on the topic and they taught me a few things. Basically, I loved them and they told me to come down when I came to this series. After going I can honestly say that I loved this bar and would probably make it my #1 hangout if I lived in Wrigleyville.
IN FACT, I will go so far as to name it "Miller Park Drunk's Go-To Bar If You Attend a Cubs game in Chicago", high praise indeed. So check it out next season.
The train ride home was unspectacular. Everyone in my group slept while I drank beer with some random people I met. They loved me when I said "This is a good train ride and I'm going to let you guys go home, but Beyonce had on the greatest train rides of all time!" I wonder if that's old already. Overall, it was a great time with some good people. Nobody got in any trouble, the weather was great (judging by my sunburn), I drank a good amount of beer AND the Brewers won. What more can you ask for?
One comment on "MPD Field Trip: Wrigley Field Part dos"
"but it failed just like the "Roll Out the Barrell" sing-a-long we attempted at the 7th inning stretch."
We actually got that to work at the St Louis game we went to a few weeks back. After we sang the whole song people around us started clapping, but most of us were too hammered to care.

Rock god Slash produced, scored and wrote a new song for his movie "Nothing Left to Fear." We'll hazard a guess and say it's probably not a romantic comedy.

New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
22 The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of long ago. | 22 "The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old; |
23 Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. | 23 I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began. |
24 When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. | 24 When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water; |
25 Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth— | 25 before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, |
26 when he had not yet made earth and fields, or the world's first bits of soil. | 26 before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world. |
27 When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, | 27 I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep, |
28 when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, | 28 when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep, |
29 when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, | 29 when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth. |
30 then I was beside him, like a master worker; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, | 30 Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, |
31 rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the human race. | 31 rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind. |

The best place to watch the sun go down in Tbilisi is at the feet of Mother Georgia. A colossal aluminum woman warrior who stands guard on one of the hills above the city, she holds a sword and a chalice—a warning and a welcome. On our first day in Georgia, my boyfriend, Brian, and I hike up to Mother Georgia's skirt hem and gaze down at the clay-colored Mtkvari River and the terraced houses nearly buried in foliage. The sky fades from pink to periwinkle, the city lights flicker on, and we begin to feel our wayalong the narrow, unlighted trail back to the city. Suddenly, a few yards down, we notice an eerie orange glow. We take a few more steps, and then our path is barred by fire.
Seven men sit in a circle. Eyes glittering, shirts unbuttoned, they hold raw meat on sticks over a bonfire. One of them sees us and gets to his feet unsteadily, his burly silhouette blocking our way. He picks up a plastic gas container and waves it over his head. Squinting and yelling something, he stumbles toward us.
My hand instinctively goes to my camera.
"Georgia," he says in accented English, pointing at his chest.
"America," I say warily, wondering if it's okay to admit this to a drunken stranger in the hills.
But he nods. "Hebraeli," he says, pointing to a skinny man who smiles, looking up from the cucumbers he is slicing. "Muslimi," he says, indicating another man. "Georgia . . . Armenia . . . Azerbaijan . . ." Going around the circle, he clasps a couple of the men warmly. He lifts the gas can, pours a gold liquid into plastic cups, and holds them out to us. Then he raises his own cup.
"To America!" he says. We take a swig of warm, dusky white wine. "To Georgia!" We drink again. By the time we have toasted all our nationalities and religions, the stars are out, the gas tank is empty, and my nervousness has dissipated into the beet-scented night.
This is the first of many such scenes we will encounter in our wanderings through this multiethnic, mountainous republic that was once the breadbasket of the Soviet Union. Georgia reappeared on the map of the Western world when, after seven decades of Soviet rule and a brief, bloody struggle, the superpower loosened its grip, giving way to the first viable Georgian state in almost 200 years. But even before the Communist era, this fertile land the size of West Virginia was a Holy Grail for expansionist empires. Lying in the northern Caucasus Mountains between the Black and the Caspian seas, it was an eastern outpost of early Christianity, and a key crossroads of the Silk Road's European and Asian veins. As such, it was an irresistible object of desire for the Greeks, Persians, Turks, Arabs, Mongols, and Russians, to name a few marauders. And yet, despite constant sieges, the Georgians developed a reputation for meeting fate with a grin and a glass of wine. Traveling here in 1858, when the country was under the rule of the Russian czars, Alexandre Dumas wrote: "Russia is a gloomy monarch: all her grandeur cannot make her gay. Georgia, a merry-hearted slave; her subjugation cannot make her sad."
Georgia is a slave no more. When we arrive in the spring, the country is gearing up to celebrate the anniversary of its 1991 independence. Though the annual military parade has been canceled for lack of funds, a festive atmosphere permeates the warm air. Tbiliselebi in pressed suits and silk dresses flock to Independence Day operas and dance performances. Teenagers converge at an open-air pop concert. You'd never guess that in recent months President Eduard Shevardnadze's neophyte democracy has survived a couple of bombings and thwarted an attempted military coup. But that is present-day Georgia—surrounded by spectacular examples of how badly a post-Communist state can implode, courted by Western countries eager for a foothold, and faced with the singular task of recasting its identity without losing itself in the process.
Tbilisi is like an old patchwork Quilt, torn and mended so many times that it's hard to tell which sections were part of the original fabric. One of the worst blows came in 1795, after the Persian eunuch king Agha Mohammad Khan made a pilgrimage to the city's underground hot springs, famous for their healing powers. According to one legend, he hoped the sulfurous baths would regenerate his lost parts. They didn't, and the furious king razed the city. Ironically, the bathhouses survived, and Brian and I quickly come to appreciate their evil-smelling waters, especially after nights of drinking the world-class local wines that have been the pride of Georgia for millennia.
One morning I leave Brian to steep and go meet Rusudan Gorgiladze, the friend of a Georgian friend in Boston. A dark-eyed, husky-voicedwoman, Rusiko (as friends call her) is one of Shevardnadze's chief advisers, and speaks fluent English after a year as a fellow at Harvard's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. She strides down a cobblestonedstreet and into a stately, dilapidated maze of alleyways. Her shiny black hair and full-skirted red dress stand out like daubs of brilliant paint, an exotic butterfly flitting between crumbling walls.
In the Old Town, Georgia's characteristic carved wooden balconies lean against Italianate colonnades and Moroccan-style arches—not to mention a few glaring Soviet-era poured-concrete atrocities. Cranes and scaffolding are here and there, but the new construction doesn't look like the frenzied sprawl so often imposed on developing countries. "We may not have money," Rusiko says, "but we still have taste."
All over Georgia neglected and abused churches are being restored. Long-haired monks who lay low during Soviet times have returned to monasteries, and Georgians of all ages fill the cathedrals on holidays, publicly affirming the faith they kept under wraps for so long. But what Tbilisi natives love to point out is the proximity of diverse places of worship, a testament to a history of religious tolerance. "Look across the street," Rusiko says as we stand outside a 13th-century Georgian Orthodox cathedral. "Right here is a synagogue. That dome down there is an Armenian church. The minaret is a mosque, and a Zoroastrian temple is beside it. See how close together they were built?"

Wild crafted and harvested from the pristine Sonoran Desert, this ancient plant
contains a powerful antioxidant. Recent research against herpes and related viruses
is very promising. Chaparral in tablets with Vitamin C, Zinc, Alfalfa and Yucca
Chaparral (Larrea tridentata) is a native plant of the American Southwest. Chaparral
is one of the Earth's oldest plants and has been used in Native American remedies
for centuries.
More about Chaparral
We stand in awe of the centuried Redwoods of the Pacific coast and the twisted,
giant Saguaros of the high desert, but compared to the Chaparral bush they are
mere infants. Botanically known as Larrea tridentata, the common chaparral plant
can live up to 12,000 years! The fact this waxy-leaved bush can thrive in the
harsh Arizona desert and dominate it's neighbors without being eaten or infected
is testimonial to the potency of its chemical arsenal. The Native Americans of
the Southwest long ago discovered this medical resource and used chaparral to
treat everything from respiratory infections to arthritis.
To date, researchers have identified dozens of flavonoids in chaparral
which act as cellular enhancers, as well as a powerful antioxidant called NDGA.
Recently, researchers at Arizona State University discovered that chaparral
demonstrates strong antiviral activity particularly on the Herpes family of
Chaparral may have an advantage over drug therapy for treatment of viruses
by inhibiting the viral genes without damaging your living cells. Drugs work
by interfering with the reproduction of viral DNA, but also inhibit synthesis
of your own DNA, which suppresses your immune system. Chaparral seems to attack
the virus and enforce the immune system with antioxidant flavinoids.
Suggested Use:
Take two Chaparral tablets daily with liquid, as a dietary supplement.

Roughly 350 Tombstone students have been waiting more than a year to move from their historic, but crowded, 83-year-old high school into their new school. The new Tombstone High School remains closed indefinitely because, as school superintendent J. Ronald Hennings admits, "We just can't get kids to it."
Even after spending $7 million, and going $600,000 over budget, Tombstone school and district officials still need one more thing: a new road that leads to the school. And, of course, lots more money to build it.
As it is, Arizona taxpayers have spent the equivalent of $20,000 per Tombstone High School student for an empty building.
If school facilities and related construction projects continue to be funded this way, Tombstone High School students won't be the only ones on a road to nowhere.
Enrollment in the state's public schools will exceed one million students in just four years. According to the Arizona Department of Education, average capital and debt service funding now exceeds $2,000 per student, ranking the state among the highest in the country.
A sensible solution is to make full use of existing capacity. There are an estimated 26,000 available seats in Arizona private schools right now. Average tuition is $4,600-roads included.
