Customer Reviews
December 2014
was incredibly beautiful
December 2014
My fiance and I both wanted to do a river trip and originally were thinking about doing one during the day. Due to us only being in Paris for a weekend though we had to use our time in the best possible way and when we found this trip we booked it straight away. We were both so impressed by the tour and would definitely recommend it. The boat is very clean, well set out and the food is incredible. The service is excellent and the price is spot on. Highly recommend.

Spank Your Child, PLEASE!
Submitted by snakepit22 on Wed, 03/19/2014 - 11:23. Permalink
Don't be fooled by the title of this book. It isn't so much about convincing you to spank your kids as it is simply defending the practice for those who still do. It also covers many traditional parenting issues which seem to be more unpopular these days due to liberal influence. Its a quick read that I highly recommend.
Free market capitalism isn't right for America because it works better. It's right because it's free (and it works better).

Help me write my DrupalCon Amsterdam keynote
For my DrupalCon Amsterdam keynote, I want to try something slightly different. Instead of coming up with the talk track myself, I want to "crowdsource" it. In other words, I want the wider Drupal community to have direct input on the content of the keynote. I feel this will provide a great opportunity to surface questions and ideas from the people who make Drupal what it is.
In the past, I've done traditional surveys to get input for my keynote and I've also done keynotes that were Q&A from beginning to end. This time, I'd like to try something in between.
I'd love your help to identify the topics of interests (e.g. scaling our community, future of the web, information about Drupal's competitors, "headless" Drupal, the Drupal Association, the business of Open Source, sustaining core development, etc). You can make your suggestions in the comments of this blog post or on Twitter (tag them with @Dries and #driesnote). I'll handpick some topics from all the suggestions, largely based on popularity but also based on how important and meaty I think the topic is.
Then, in the lead-up to the event, I'll create discussion opportunities on some or all of the topics so we can dive deeper on them together, and surface various opinions and ideas. The result of those deeper conversations will form the basis of my DrupalCon Amsterdam keynote.
So what would you like me to talk about? Suggest your topics in the comments of this blog post or on Twitter by tagging your suggestions with #driesnote and/or @Dries. Thank you!
The business behind Open Source
A few days ago, I sat down with Quentin Hardy of The New York Times to talk Open Source. We spoke mostly about the Drupal ecosystem and how Acquia makes money. As someone who spent almost his entire career in Open Source, I'm a firm believer in the fact that you can build a high-growth, high-margin business and help the community flourish. It's not an either-or proposition, and Acquia and Drupal are proof of that.
Rather than an utopian alternate reality as Quentin outlines, I believe Open Source is both a better way to build software, and a good foundation for an ecosystem of for-profit companies. Open Source software itself is very successful, and is capable of running some of the most complex enterprise systems. But failure to commercialize Open Source doesn't necessarily make it bad.
I mentioned to Quentin that I thought Open Source was Darwinian; a proprietary software company can't afford to experiment with creating 10 different implementations of an online photo album, only to pick the best one. In Open Source we can, and do. We often have competing implementations and eventually the best implementation(s) will win. One could say that Open Source is a more "wasteful" way of software development. In a pure capitalist read of On the Origin of Species, there is only one winner, but business and Darwin's theory itself is far more complex. Beyond "only the strongest survive", Darwin tells a story of interconnectedness, or the way an ecosystem can dictate how an entire species chooses to adapt.
While it's true that the Open Source "business model" has produced few large businesses (Red Hat being one notable example), we're also evolving the different Open Source business models. In the case of Acquia, we're selling a number of "as-a-service" products for Drupal, which is vastly different than just selling support like the first generation of Open Source companies did.
As a private company, Acquia doesn't disclose financial information, but I can say that we've been very busy operating a high-growth business. Acquia is North America's fastest growing private company on the Deloitte Fast 500 list. Our Q1 2014 bookings increased 55 percent year-over-year, and the majority of that is recurring subscription revenue. We've experienced 21 consecutive quarters of revenue growth, with no signs of slowing down. Acquia's business model has been both disruptive and transformative in our industry. Other Open Source companies like Hortonworks, Cloudera and MongoDB seem to be building thriving businesses too.
Society is undergoing tremendous change right now -- the sharing and collaboration practices of the internet are extending to transportation (Uber), hotels (Airbnb), financing (Kickstarter, LendingClub) and music services (Spotify). The rise of the collaborative economy, of which the Open Source community is a part of, should be a powerful message for the business community. It is the established, proprietary vendors whose business models are at risk, and not the other way around.
Hundreds of other companies, including several venture backed startups, have been born out of the Drupal community. Like Acquia, they have grown their businesses while supporting the ecosystem from which they came. That is more than a feel-good story, it's just good business.
Fostering inclusivity and diversity
The past few weeks, I've been thinking over and over again trying to rationalize how to best foster a culture of inclusivity and diversity. This in the context of creating a productive work climate of trust and respect.
I think it is fair to say we all want other people to feel welcome and respected. Where that gets difficult is that feeling welcome and respected means something different to different people. What seems harmless to you could be hurtful to another. For example, some people tend to be more concerned about the use of crude or sexual language than others. It's a complex issue based on a range of factors including gender, race, age, geographical location and more. There is also a lot of academic research about the fact that derogatory and vulgar language or sexually graphic behavior creates a hostile environment. These two facts combined, makes it a popular topic in the context of diversity and inclusion.
However it is not just a popular topic, it is also a very difficult topic. Why do we feel defensive and argumentative when confronted with a value and belief system different from our own? It is one thing to challenge someone's take on, say, a country's healthcare system, it is another thing to challenge someone's beliefs. Challenge someone's beliefs, and you challenge their sense of self.
Given all this, is it possible to be inclusive of everyone? For example, can we be inclusive of those who are easily put off by sexually graphic or vulgar language and at the same time be inclusive of those who often use crude or sexual language? Does supporting one group of people mean turning away others? I hope not, but I'm not sure. Can we find a balance when we have conflicting behaviors? Sometimes we need to change behavior (eg. tone down or refrain from using bad language), and other times we need to understand when no offense was intended, and try to accept and accommodate cultural differences.
Answering these questions to define our culture is very difficult. It is even harder to put them into written rules. I strongly believe that being inclusive is a mindset first. It is about wanting to be a good person to all other people. Once you have it in your mind that you want to make others feel respected and comfortable around you, you'll find that you'll be looking for ways to do so. The key is to be appreciative of our differences. If you show respect and sincerity and remain open to hearing differing opinions, we will automatically become more aware of how our actions affect people different from ourselves. We'll automatically become more inclusive and more diverse.
By the same token, being appreciative of how we are different also means you should be willing to give the benefit of the doubt in case you are offended. It's only through fostering an environment where it is safe to make mistakes and learn from each other that we can achieve diversity and inclusiveness in our community.
Last but not least, it also presents a tremendous opportunity to learn about new cultures. I hope to learn from people who are different than me and talk honestly about our differences. If you are one of these people, I hope to ask you questions respectfully to learn more about how your values differ, and would love to find out how you want to be treated.
I'll continue to think about how to best foster a culture of inclusivity and diversity, but I wanted to stop and listen first ...
Drupal 6 support
The policy of the Drupal community is to support only the current and previous stable versions of Drupal. If we maintain that policy, Drupal 6 support would be dropped the day that Drupal 8 is released. We'd only support Drupal 8 and Drupal 7.
We're changing that policy slightly as there are still around 200K known Drupal 6 sites in the wild, and we want to ensure that sites that wish to move from Drupal 6 to Drupal 8 have a supported window within which to upgrade.
The short version is that Drupal 6 core and modules will transition to unsupported status three months after Drupal 8 is released. A three month extension is not a lot, but continuing to support Drupal 6 is difficult for many reasons, including lack of automated test coverage. This gives Drupal 6 users a few options:
- Upgrade to Drupal 7 any time between now and 3 months after Drupal 8.0.0 is released.
- Upgrade to Drupal 8 after it is released, but before Drupal 6 is not supported anymore. There's already a Drupal 6 to Drupal 8 migration path in core which can be used for testing. Keep in mind though that if your site relies on contributed and custom modules, you may need to port the code and write the migration paths yourself if they're not done by the community in time for Drupal 8's release.
- Find an organization that will provide extended support for Drupal 6. We hope that organizations that rely on Drupal 6 will step up to help maintain it after community support winds down. The Drupal Security Team will provide a method for companies or individuals to work together in the private security issue queue to continue developing updates, and will provide a reasonable amount of time for companies to provide patches to Drupal 6 security issues that also affect Drupal 7 or Drupal 8.

About today's Drupal Association Board resignation
Today Morten Birch Heide-Jørgensen stepped down from his role on the Drupal Association's Board of Directors. The Drupal Association's Board of Directors supports Morten's decision. The Drupal Association and the Drupal community value inclusivity and diversity, and our leadership must demonstrate those values as well.
We want to thank Morten for his service; he came to the board with a mission to foster improved transparency and communication. He helped both the board and staff embrace those principles in a way that will carry into the future.
Today's development underscores the need for a broader discussion that we need to have about inclusivity and diversity. Creating and maintaining the right culture and environment is vital to Drupal's success. Therefore, we have asked the Community Working Group to define a process to help our community address these issues and identify positive, proactive, and concrete steps we can take to ensure that everyone feels welcome in Drupal.
Morten is vacating a community elected seat. The Board of Directors will discuss how and when to fill this vacancy at the next board meeting.
State of Drupal presentation (June 2014)
I gave my traditional State of Drupal presentation this week at DrupalCon Austin. You can watch the recording of my keynote if you are interested in learning about my vision for the future of the web, the challenges and opportunities ahead of us, how Drupal fits into that. In good tradition, you can also download a copy of my slides (PDF, 120 MB).
A method for giving credit to organizations that contribute code to Open Source
If we want to encourage more organizations to contribute to Drupal and hire core developers, we should start to give them credit for their contributions. I'd love to see us maintain a page on Drupal.org that shows which companies contribute to Drupal and in what capacity. This credit provides these organizations a tangible benefit in recruiting developers, demonstrating their expertise, and more. Credit is a powerful motivator for individuals, but also for businesses. It is a form of trust currency.
It is great that we give individual contributors credit for their contributions, and we should continue to do so. However, I'd like to extend that to organizations, both to the Drupal agencies as well as their customers. Mapping out how contributions get funded can be great for individuals, customers and digital agencies.
A great way to start doing this, is to adopt a new format for Git commit messages. I'd like to propose the following format:
$ git commit -am "Issue #n by INDIVIDUAL@AGENCY*CUSTOMER: message."
We prefix agencies with @ and customers with *. I believe this provides us the necessary flexibility. We could choose to store this in Git Notes, if we prefer, but that is not the main point.
Contributed a feature as an individual consultant directly for a customer or end-user:
$ git commit -am "Issue #n by INDIVIDUAL*CUSTOMER: message."
Contributed something in your spare time and don't want to give credit to your employer:
$ git commit -am "Issue #n by INDIVIDUAL: message."
Let's put it all together with a real example. Imagine Sam, Megan and Tim collaborated on fixing a performance bug. Sam helped in the "20% time" provided by her employer Acquia, Megan helped in her spare time after work, and Tim worked on this on behalf of his employer, Pfizer, who is affected by this bug. Ideally, the commit message would look like this:
$ git commit -am "Issue #42 by Sam@Acquia, Megan, Tim*Pfizer: fixed performance bug."
The great thing about this approach is that we can adopt it today and worry about analyzing the data later. It also works regardless of where your Drupal code is hosted (Drupal.org, GitHub, etc) or what your source code management system of choice is (Git, SVN, etc). In fact, I believe all Open Source projects would benefit from this level of transparency and that giving credit directly into the commit message makes it very transferable.
If adopted, we'll want to build tools to help us create these commit messages (i.e. have contributors provide proper attribution in a new project issue field so the maintainers/committers don't have to manually create it).
With this level of transparency, we can start to study how our ecosystem actually works; we can see which companies contribute back code and how much, we can see how much of the Drupal project is volunteer driven, we can better identify potential conflicts of interest, and more. But most of all, we can provide credit where credit is due and provide meaningful incentives for organizations to contribute back to Drupal. I believe this could provide a really important step in making Drupal core development more scalable.
I'd love to hear your thoughts about us giving organizations credit.

Venezuela's Chávez Seeks Permission To Return To Cuba For Treatment
Originally published on Mon April 30, 2012 1:46 pm
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez may be once again headed to Cuba for cancer treatment.
The country's National Assembly said it is set to vote today on whether to grant the president permission to leave the country for more than five days. Bloomberg reports there is very little detail about the Chávez's health, but since he announced that he had a recurrence of cancer in February, he has been in Cuba more than he has in Venezuela. As we've noted before, this is especially important because Chávez is facing reelection in October.
Bloomberg adds:
"His absences have sparked a rally in Venezuelan bonds on speculation his illness will lead to a change in government and policies that have stoked inflation and driven away investment.
"Chavez has refused to say what kind of cancer he has, where it's located or give his prognosis, fueling speculation that the disease is worse than he's letting on."
El Expreso reports that in the past the National Assembly has voted unanimously to grant Chávez leave and the president has left the country hours after receiving the OK.
The paper notes that since he arrived in Caracas earlier in April, he has made no public appearances. He did call into state TV to "celebrate the second anniversary of his presence on Twitter." El Expreso notes that Twitter is the basically the only way Chávez has communicated with the country.

Pack/e6 EXTENSIBLE CAMPING TRAILER BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to extensible housings, and more particularly to a camping trailer which is readily towable in the collapsed state and affords a commodious accommodation in the expanded state. With the growing popularity of camping and the enlarged facilities available therefor in state and national parks, the need exists for collapsible housings which may be transported to the camping site and easily erected. Though large-size tents may be used for this purpose, there are practical difficulties which discourage their use. A small foldable tent may be carried by a hiker to a camp site. But where, as is often the case, a group of campers travel by automobile to a remote camp site, then it may not be feasible or desirable to bring along tents. In a typical situation in which a family vehicle is used to take four to six passengers to a camp site, the vehicle is quite capable of carrying the passengers, but it may not have adequate space for the food supplies, clothing, utensils, stoves and sundry other equipment that camping entails. And even if it were somehow possible to stow in this equipment, no room remains for bulky bags containing tents. It is for this reason that camping trailers have been developed, both as a carrier for camping equipment, and as a sleeping accommodation for the campers. The trailer, when hitched to the vehicle, must be relatively compact or short in order for the vehicle to be able to negotiate sharp turns. On the other hand, the trailer, when camped, must be sufficiently commodious to provide sleeping quarters for the campers. Because the requirements for roadability and camping are incompatible, camping trailers have been developed having an extensible body, the body being short and compact when on the road, and being expanded when camped. Thus in US. Pat. No. 2,127,580, there is disclosed a camping trailer made of a sectioned main body whose front part is supplemented by a smaller rear section that is adapted to telescope within the main body. When collapsed, the length of the trailer is that of the main body, and when extended the length is that of the combined sections. In a trailer intended to be towed by a standard automobile, it is important, for reasons of safety, that the width of the trailer not exceed to any great degree the width of the vehicle, for otherwise it becomes difficult for the driver to judge the road requirements of the trailer hitched to his vehicle. Since the width of the standard vehicle is usually not more than 6 feet, this imposes a strict limit on the acceptable width of the trailer. Hence, though the trailer width is sufficient for carrying camping equipment, the trailer as a housing accommodation for human occupants, leaves much to be desired for however long the trailer housing, it remains narrow and cramped. The volume of a trailer which is only longitudinally extensible may be stepped up but the resultant space distribution is such as to militate against the comfort of the campers. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, it is the main object of this invention to provide an extensible camping trailer which in the collapsed state is highly compact and suitable for towing by a standard passenger vehicle, and in the expanded state affords a commodious, comfortable accommodation for campers. More specifically, it is an object of this invention to provide a light-weight, all weather trailer of the abovedescribed type, which is extensible both longitudinally and laterally, whereby the resultant accommodation is sizable both in length and breadth. Also an object of the invention is to provide a trailer of the above type, which may be quickly expanded or collapsed, without the need for special tools or more than ordinary skill. A further object of the invention is to provide an extensible camping trailer of simple design which may be mass-produced and sold at relatively low cost. Briefly stated, these objects are attained in an extensible camping trailer formed by a chassis having a collapsible body mounted thereon, the rear end of the chassis being supported on a set of wheels, the front end thereof being hitchable to a towing vehicle. The body includes a box-like main housing section affixed to the chassis and having an open side and an open end, and a similarly shaped sub-housing section of slightly smaller volume receivable within the main housing section and pivoted thereto, whereby when the sub-housing is rotated about its pivot, the main and sub-housing sections together form a longitudinally elongated chamber having an open side. p Also pivotally connected to the main housing section are a plurality of telescopically arranged housing segments which in the collapsed state fit within the main housing, and in the expanded state define a bay section enclosing the open side of the chamber and laterally expanding the interior volume thereof to provide a commodious accommodation for campers. While the body is described herein for use in conjunction with a trailer chassis, it is to be understood that it is also usable as a collapsible housing for backyard storage, or any other useful purpose. OUTLINE OF THE DRAWING For a better understanding of the invention as well as other objects and further features thereof, reference is made to the following detailed description to be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein: FIG. 1 is a perspective view facing the starboard side of an extensible camping trailer in accordance with the invention, the body of the trailer being illustrated in its collapsed state; FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the same trailer facing the port side thereof; FIG. 3 is the same view of the trailer shown in FIG. 2, but detached from the towing vehicle and with its supporting arms extended; FIG. 4 is a longitudinal section of the body of the trailer, taken in the plane indicated by line 4-4 in FIG. 1; FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the trailer in the expanded state; FIGI 6 is a plan view of the trailer in the expanded state; FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the weatherproofing edges of mating sections of the body when separated from each other; and FIG. 8 shows the weatherproofing edges when in abutting relation. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a camping trailer in accordance with the invention, the trailer including a rectangular frame or chassis, generally designated by numeral 10, having a triangular forward or bow section 11, hitched at its apex to a towing vehicle, which may be any conventional automobile or small truck. The rear end of chassis is supported by a wheel set 12 formed by an axle having a pair of wheels thereon. In practice, for a very large and heavy trailer, two wheel sets may be used. Mounted on top of chassis 10 is a collapsible body, generally designated by numeral 13. In practice, one may provide a shorter trailer than that shown. This is done by arranging the set of wheels 12 so that the wheels and axle are normally positioned below the rear portion of the body 13, rather than displaced thereform as shown in the figures, thereby improving the roadability of the structure. In this event, it is necessary, when the body is to be expanded, to shift the set of wheels to the position shown in the drawing. For this purpose, the set of wheels is made slidable relative to the rear of the chassis,so that it may be displaced from the road position to the camping position. Chassis 10 is provided at the junction of the frame and the bow 11 with a cross-arm 14 which is rotatable 90. A pair of spaced legs 15 and 16 are attached to arm 14, the legs normally lying in the horizontal plane. However, when cross-arm 14 is rotated, legs 15 and 16 extend downwardly to support the front end of the chassis, this being done when the trailer is detached from the towing vehicle which otherwise supports the front end. Chassis 10, as best seen in FIG. 3, is provided at its port side with a pivoted short arm 17 having a retractable leg 18 at its free end, and a pivoted long arm 19 having a retractable leg 20 at its free end. Short arm 17 is pivotally connected to the frame at a point adjacent bow 11, while long arm 19 is pivoted at a point displaced therefrom to provide, when the short and long arms are outstretched, spaced extensions for supporting sections of the body 13 in the expanded state (see FIG. 6). Collapsible body 13 is constituted by a main housing section 13A, a sub-housing section 13B and three wedge-shaped housing segments 13C, 13D and 13E, all of which internest in the collapsed state to form a highly compact structure. The body elements may be fabricated of highstrength, light-weight panels made of reinforced fiber glass or of aluminum having a honeycomb core. Also usable are commercially available types of structural laminates formed of plastic, metal, wood or combinations thereof. Main housing section 13A has a box-like configura- I 13B is pivotally connected to main section 13A at vertically aligned pivot points 21 and 22 on the roof and floor of the main section, which points are adjacent the front end thereof. Hence when sub-section 13B, which normally nests within the main section 13A, is rotated 180 about its pivots, it is then extended longitudinally from the main section, as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. In the extended state, sub-sectionl3B rests on the bow l 1 of the chassis and is supported thereby. The longitudinal dimension of the chamber is almost doubled when the sub-section is extended, the chamber having an open portside. Segments 13C, 13D and 13E are also swingable about pivot points 21 and 22. The heights of subsection 13B and of segments 13C, 13D and 13E are progressively stepped so that these housing elements may be telescoped within the main housing section. When extended, the three telescoping segments 13C, 13D and 13E together form an outwardly curved bay section bellying laterally from the body to enlarge the chamber. Segment 13E is supported on the out-stretched long arm 19, while segment 13D is supported on short arm 17. Segment 13C, the edges of whose floor overlap those of segment 13D and sub-section 13B, is supported thereby. In practice, removable partitions, ledges, bunks or beds may be provided to break-up the interior living space in any desired manner as well as to afford sleeping accommodations and other facilities. For'purposes of simplicity, windows, vents, doors, etc., have been omitted from the drawing. As shown in FIGS. Sand 6, when the semgnet and sections are expanded, junctions therebetween are created at lines J1, J2, J3 and J4. In order to weatherproof the body, these junctions must be effectively sealed. This is preferably accomplished in the manner shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 where it will be seen that a strip 23 having a triangular cross-section is affixed adjacent the edge of one panel member 24, which may be one of the two body elements forming a junction, and a complementary strip 25 is mounted on the other panel member 26. Strip 25 is not affixed to panel member 26 but is slid- ,ably mounted thereon on a pin 27. Strip 25 is biased by a spring 28 such that, as shown in FIG. 8, when the body is expanded and panels 24 and 26 are shifted relative to each other, strip 23 engages slidable strip 25 and forces it against the action of spring 28 along pin 27 to the end thereof. The spring 28 then serves to urge strip 25 against strip 23 to maintain a weatherproof seal. While there have been shown and described preferred embodiments of an extensible camping trailer, in accordance with the invention, it will be appreciated that many changes and modifications may be made therein without, however, departing from the essential spirit of the invention. I claim: 1. A collapsible housing body for use as a trailer comprising: A. a box-like main housing section having an open end and an open side, B. a similarly shaped sub-housing section of slightly reduced volume receivable within said main section and pivoted thereto at a point adjacent the open end thereof whereby when the sub-section is rotated l and thereby extended from the main housing section, the resultant chamber is longitudinally expanded and has an open side, C. a plurality of telescoping housing segments pivoted on said point and nestable within said main section, said segments when expanded, enclosing said open-side to define a bay section laterally expanding said chamber, and D. a chassis supporting said housing body and front end of the chassis whose rear end is mounted on wheels, the front end of the chassis having an extension to support said sub-housing when it is extended. 2. A body as set forth in claim 1, wherein said sections and said segments are provided with matching convex end walls. panded state. Patent Citations

Xenos looked around. He had finished his drink as he merely twirled the mug i'm his hand. He still had the mouth piece of his mouth off, revealing only a piece of his face. ((managed to get on phone.))
Lord of Apoc
"I make it a point not to assume anything until I meat them."
Teo blinks his eyes open, quickly looking about the rest of the room. His fur bristles and gets a light red hue to it from embarrassment, and he quickly gives a short bow and hops off the stage. Feeling that perhaps he'd made himself known too soon, he scurries around a corner and hides himself in the shadows. Pulling out his lyre again, he sighs, sliding down the wall behind him until he was seated on the floor, at which point he began to softly strum some background music, no illusions being created, though the other instruments could still be heard. ((Won't be home all day today, so... don't expect a response for about 15, maybe 16 hours. :L))
A visible smile showed on Xenos's face. He slowly bobs his head to the left and right, enjoying the music.
Dirilan noticed Geod, so he nods to him to say salute him. After the man return to his seat, the young mage receives his tea from the waitress. he thanks her and walk toward another table near a window. He sits there as he begin to slowly drink his cup of tea while he listening Teo's music.
Ask Gragas
Gragas comes in with his super-manliness, and the manly beard, and the manly walk, and that manly smell. He sits on the bar and looks at the bartender. "Yer manliest drink, now!" he demands as he smacks a bunch of gold on the table. And he is chewing tobacco like a man, with that manly breath and that manly face, and the manly, meaty body.
Reni smiles as she listened to the music, perhaps she could talk to Aura about getting someone to perform every now and again, she looked to the door as it opened and her job dropped, was that..? It really was Gragas! A champion of the league was here!? She could barely contain her excitement but at the same time was slightly fearful due to his reputation...If Jax were to come in they may end up having to renovate the entire building once they were done... But still, having a champion here would be amazing for business no matter how you looked at it. She quickly reached for her most potent alcohol. She had been told never to serve this because it was so dangerously alcoholic but she was completely sure that Gragas could handle it with no problems she just hoped he would enjoy it. She poured a glass and placed it in front of him "E-enjoy!"
Éclair walked in. She came to the bar, her long coat covering all her weapons and scars, safe for the one on her face " Anything that would quench one's thirst after hard day! "
He was so manly. Super manly. He drank the glass in a manly manner, totally gushing the damn thing. And then he slammed the glass without breaking it in a manly manner. He mouthwashed like a real man before he swallowed in a manly manner. He showed an impressed face, a MANLY impressed face, and nodded like a real man, in a manly manner, and asked for another one. "This'll do me good. 'it me!"

Incendiary Image of the Day: 12ga Drone-Killer Shot Shells!
Submitted by AnCapMercenary on Sat, 03/16/2013 - 18:39Er... kinda. (courtesy prodigalbrother @ facebook.com)
But you knew it was coming...and in fact, these 'drones' were shot down, FOUR times, invading an airspace over private shooting range, recently: Activists' drone shot out of the sky for fourth time
The 'drones' belong to local human hating animal 1ster activists harassing hunters and gunowners in general; they're actually surprised that people exercise private property rights.
Check out the group's name; no it's not an Onion satire: "SHARK," or SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness.
and...the video of their quadro-copter drone being shot down, for illegally invading private property
Incendiary Image of the Day: Drone Loads Edition
Posted on March 16, 2013 by Robert Farago
It's not like it hasn't happened already. No, I don't mean Iran, although yes, the Islamic Republic shot down a U.S. military drone. I'm talking about the SHARK (SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness) drone that an unnamed hunter at the Wing Pointe shooting club in Berks County, PA downed late last year. [Click here for a most excellent video of the event.] The fourth such drone that had been blasted out of the sky. And not the last, methinks.

This clown is baiting individuals with guns
real smart. As far as pigeons, they are a scourge to health and property which needs some type of population control imposed upon. I work for the state DOT and can tell you the damage I've seen from their droppings upon bridges is phenomenal, especially when it is compounded by anti icing elements. Not to mention the immediate and profound implications to health when those droppings are disturbed. These animals are nothing more than rat's with wings and should be treated in the same manner. After viewing the video I wished someone would have walked out of the woods and bitch slapped this loud mouthed eavesdropping punk who places his agenda ahead of anyone else's Constitutional rights. That would truly make a video that would go viral. As far as incendiary shot's check this out...

Shooting pigeons
I don't know how they were shooting pigeons, but I have shot hundreds of pigeons over the years. When I am shooting pigeons it's in the process of training young pointers. They are placed under tall grass and usually will stay put for 5-10 minutes. The young dog is brought up downwind to get the birds scent, after the dog points the bird is flushed up and shot, then the dog is encouraged to retrieve the bird. Sometimes the pigeon wouldn't be shot and I would let it fly back to the coop. It's all about getting a young dog accustomed and knowing exactly what he's doing before hunting wild birds. Some of my pigeons I bred my self and some are nuisance pigeons I take from farmers barns. Whether you agree with how someone is hunting/killing pigeons or not, the fact is that they are within the law and the pigeons are their property. In most states pigeons are considered a feral nuisance and there is no bag limit.
The bold effort the present bank had made to control the government ... are but premonitions of the fate that await the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it-Andrew Jackson

I'm an avid hunter, pro 2nd
I'm an avid hunter, pro 2nd amendment, and go to the range regularly. I also go target practice shooting pigeons, but mine are made out of clay.
I find this very disturbing, this isn't hunting or target practice. This is just animal cruelty. Birds caged and released in the line of fire. That would be like tying a deer to a tree and calling it hunting.
And shooting live rounds across a public roadway, that's just pure stupidity.

i am a hunter and i feel this
i am a hunter and i feel this is pretty unfair for the birds. in a cage only to be released into the line of fire?????where is the challenge in that? wtf whats next releasing a buck from a pin or a bear, fishing for fish in a barrel??? the biggest point of hunting is finding the game and avoiding detection witch they fail at both

how cool would a mini-stinger missile be?
or snare it and drag it back in a net with a larger drone of your own...that's where this is heading, it seems.

I am sure we will see...
I am sure we will see an increase of drone shoot downs as we see an increase of drone usage. Blow back is what I would call it. Others might just call it target practice.
- Login to post comments
I'd side with SHARK on this one.
The drones never trespassed over private property. Plus using live animals as nothing more then targets then disposing of the bodies is not what I would call hunting. I'd call it sick. Killing for the sake of killing.
- Login to post comments
I've more respect for them shooting down
the drone than I do for the pigeon shooting.
Have a look at this video: http://youtu.be/D652zsCMDhU
There's just no challenge. It's one step from shooting fish in a barrel. I'd honestly prefer shooting on a range or clay pigeon shooting or actual hunting. Not that I'd ban it or anything but could they not make it slightly more challenging.

Title: | Chevron Lite: How Much Deference Should Courts Give to State Agency Interpretation? |
Author: | Graham, Ann |
Abstract: | The purpose of this article is to analyze state case law and statutes to determine the range of state court deference to state agency interpretation of state law. Initially, I hold up the basic Chevron Two Step doctrine as a template for exploring the range of deference given to state agencies. More importantly, since I find that the Roberts Court is not applying Chevron consistently, I argue that states could provide ideas for replacement of the Chevron doctrine at the federal level. The analytical approach in this article is threefold: (1) to examine existing state models for judicial review of state agency interpretations of state statutes; (2) to make recommendations about the most effective approach on a state level; and (3) to identify state concepts, procedures, and standards that could be imported to the federal arena. |

Elle Varner - I Don't Care
Artist: Elle Varner
Producer: Pop & Oak
Album: Perfectly Imperfect
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 14 votes )
UPDATE: Click "Watch Video" for the brand new visuals to I Don't Care.
As they say, opinions are like hearts, everyone's got one. (Ok, so maybe that's not exactly how the saying goes, but this is a family site.) The point is, while I'm sure like anyone in the public slotlight Elle Varner has her detractors, I Don't Care, as far as I'm concerned the the RCA songstress is a star in the making. For her latest effort Varner recruits certified hit makers Pop & Oak for an instrumental that sits exactly on the line between pop and R&B, fusing together bright synths with more understated percussion and an ultimately laid back demeanor. For her part Elle unleashes yet more charismatic vocals (check her DJBooth approved hit Refill) , letting the world know that she's so far in love that she couldn't care less who knows her heart is a quivering mess: "If I could speak in code, I wouldn't be so bold / I can't control my lips." With a single like this you have to admit you care that Varner's Perfectly Imperfect album is due out on August 7. Go ahead, admit it. We promise it will feel good.

Pity poor Sonic. No matter how fast he runs he'll never catch up with Mario.
While the venerable plumber has been swooping through space, Sega's mascot has grown hair on the back of his hands, taken up racing, murdered Arthurian legends and plummeted out of the good books.
Somewhere there's an anthropomorphic rodent playing a mournful violin. But what if Sonic were to play Mario at his own game and gain a little ground? That could work, right? Couldn't it? Yes it could and it does - the result is Sonic Colours. Shove your pity, Sonic doesn't need it.
Sonic Colours may be a planet-hopping platform game but the similarity to the Mario Galaxy games that really counts is its abundance of ideas.
This is Sonic Team in uncharacteristically creative and generous mood. It's one that suits them well. The addition of the power-altering Wisps is what does it.
These aren't powerups, they're toys - single-use shots of pure fun that have the happy side effect of opening up new pathways in already pleasingly labyrinthine stages.
Turn Sonic into a laser-guided pin cushion and ping him off mirrors; morph into a firework and explore the upper atmosphere; drill down beneath the surface and uncover a stash of forgotten rings. Who says you can't teach an old hog new tricks?
They're multi-use too. Aim the laser Wisp at a glowing aerial, for instance, and Sonic is whisked along underground cables like a spiny email attachment.
The cube power, mostly used for turning blue rings into impromptu platforms, can smash certain blocks, while the drill grants you access to pipelines.
The list of powers goes on, and finding these new tricks and backtracking to find new areas in which to use them is a big part of the fun.
Crucially, the Wisps don't sacrifice Sonic's speed; they simply reveal more runways for him to go to work on. And that's brilliant.
Speed alone reduces gameplay to a simple progression from left to right, but moments of calm exploration add texture and a sense of adventure.
Better still, these quieter interludes make those moments when the beautifully rendered scenery is smeared behind Sonic like a vapour trail feel all the more special.
Simply put, speed and speed alone leaves you with no soul but the white hot rubbery ones beneath the hedgehog's feet (and a nasty case of athlete's foot). But what are toys without somewhere to play with them?
The environments here are every bit as playful as the new Wisp powers. Planet-sized playgrounds have familiar themes such as water and lush forests, though there are also less predictable regions such as the saccharine Sweet Mountain.
Each of them is packed with stages large and small, most of which introduce more new ideas. Some are built entirely from one idea stretched to its limit; others are constructed solely to test just how robust the new Wisp powers are.
The result is a series of intricate and occasionally extremely tricky levels. Again we're reminded of Mario Galaxy, particularly when Sonic plummets off the bottom of the screen for the umpteenth time and we get exasperated at our own lack of skill rather than the unfairness of the game.
If that isn't the acid test for a decent platformer then we're improbably neon-coloured rodents on Ritalin.
Better yet, every stage compels you to push harder, aim higher. Maintain that speed, keep your eyes open, cross any available digits and you'll see wonders.
Real wonders. Giganto missiles packed with sweets; ornamental pagodas flanked by fish; a space armada emerging from sub-space. These are ideas Sonic Team have sweated over only to have you race past them. There's no hand-holding or signposting.

I hope this works well for you. It sounds terrible.
A brewery here in town actually has a Hickory smoked maple bacon porter on draft right now. I tried a pint, I mostly got the Hickory smoked taste, not much bacon or maple. I don't know how they made it though. It wasn't a bad beer, not something I would drink several pints of.
Draft 1: Lightly smoked Weizen Draft 2: Belgian Wit Draft 3: Rauchbier Primary 1: German Scwarzbier Primary 2: On Deck: Belgian Brown Ale, Pale Ale, Stout
If you want to add some coffee aspect to the mix, Brew up a standard Porter or Robust Porter and add some Maple Bacon Coffee to it. I ordered some online a while ago. Funky Budda in FL has people going nuts for their Maple Bacon Coffee Porter and all it is is there normal porter aged on the Maple Bacon coffee. The coffee has HUGE maple notes, the bacon is a bit more subtle.
Which brand of Maple Bacon Coffee would you order? There's a bunch of them.
We tried Bacon flavored Torriani syrup and didn't like the flavor. Just went with Maple. Turned out real good on the first attempt. Introducing "Morning Wood Robust Porter".
"Yeah. OK, well, uh, we found, uh, this mouse in a bottle of YOUR BEER, eh. Like, we was at a party and, uh, a friend of ours - a COP - had some, and HE PUKED. And he said, uh, come here and get free beer or, uh, he'll press charges."-Doug McKenzie, Strange Brew Up next: Winter warmer or ? Primary 1: MT Primary 2: MT Sec 1: Red Tornado Sec 2: MT Sec 3: MT
I tried a stout with bacon salt to the boil and more at bottling, I can barely choke it down and it's been in a bottle over 3 months now. I may have used too much, but if I try it again I won't be using the salt at all.. I also added maple syrup at flame out and none of the flavor came through. Are there any recommendations on getting more of the maple flavor to come out?

Staff were excellent across all areas and made you feel welcome. Best I have seen for many a year!
it is a sensational hotel. With the highest standards of rooms, facilities, cuisine and staff I would (and will) recommend the hotel to all my friends and family.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by JimiC Best Kept Secret
Regency Intercon Bahrain staff continues to exceed my expectations for customer service. I made arrangements through Mr Mohammed for rooms to accommodate my team during our business visit, which he handles with ease. Shiena promptly confirmed all our rooms, to include a couple of last minute add-ons to the group. Dhanya at the front desk greeted us with a big smile, as always, and quickly checked everyone in. Benson, Sheena, and Natalie did a wonderful job taking care of us in the club lounge. BTW, the food in the club lounge is always excellent! I was most impressed by seeing Mahmoud working as a leader at the reception desk. I first met him in the club lounge and he was a very hard worker then. I'm sure he will do a great job as he trains for a new position at the front desk. Finally, Jasmine made sure all our requests were met promptly with our complete satisfaction. She is a very hard worker and great member of the team. I can't tell you how delightful this property is, so you'll just have to experience it for yourself!

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by BobD1959 Overall very good hotel with excellent in-house restaurant
A very good hotel, with good quality rooms and service. Very quiet. Very comfortable. Good internet.
The in-house restaurant - Legendz - is really very good, with excellent food, wines, and service. I highly recommend it.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 Excellent but
Enjoyed everything about our stay this occasion. Hotel is not on the beach or as part of a resort, but I live on the beach, so it is not the purpose for our visit to Bahrain. A negative is that bottles of wine in the restaurants are very expensive and in my opinion, over-priced.

Makes me feel human again
By Mommabear
from AK
describe yourself Health Conscious, Medical Professional
Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega Energy & Metabolism Multivitamin, Timed-Release Caplets, 90 ea:
-I've been taking this vitamin for several years, and when I don't take it my body lets me know. -I started taking it when I had small children and I realized my get-up and go wasn't what it used to be! -This is the only formula I've taken in the "Ultra Mega" family--it works so well I've been hesitant to try another. -For me, it removes my brain fog and even helps me physically to FEEL better. -If my day starts really early, I'll take two vitamins; if a later start in the morning, I'll stick with one. (This formula has some caffeine--I don't feel the need to drink as much coffee as I did before!)-Additionally, I prefer to take my vitamins before I eat breakfast--but I have to eat something not too long afterwards. This is not a criticism, and it reminds me not to go without breakfast! :)

I could never figure out the best time of day to use this product. Early morning, lunch, evening, etc. All doses kept me awake at night. I had to stop using it before I noticed any positive results.

Women's Ultra Mega Energy & Metabolism
By True Lady
from Netherlands
describe yourself Active, Health Conscious
They do smell a little, but what vitamin doesnt? after reading the previous reviews, I believe the reason these have a weird smell is because of the the added natural vanilla flavor. Then again the smell of vanilla makes me queasy. I suggest taking these with orange juice in the morning with a small breakfast for anyone that has a sensitive stomach or that has a problem with the odor. I also suggest drinking plenty of water through out the day. I have noticed if I take them without food the scent will linger. I use to take the GNC Women's Ultra Mega (in the pruple box) and I have been taking these and the GNC's evening primrose oil for about 6 months. I am fairly active (3+ hrs a day,5 days a week), and I really appreciate the energy and metabolism blend. I honestly think they are a really great multi-vitamin.
Stimulating Vitamins
By NJ 84
from Springfield, MA
describe yourself Health Conscious
Yes, these do have an odor, and like all GNC's vitamins are a large size that is not very comfortable to swallow. The taste is slightly more unpleasant than usual. However, I'm a longtime user of GNC's vitamins, and these are my favorite ones. The Energy blend really does wake you up, perfect if you take your vitamins in the morning. They wake you up without having the crashing effects of coffee. I also notice that my stomach is a tiny bit flatter when I take them, so I believe they do stimulate your metabolism a little. They have all the same nutrients as the other Ultra Mega blends as well, so you're not missing out on any nutrients. Personally, I take only one a morning, with a strong juice like grapefruit or orange to wash out the taste. With GNC vitamins, I usually mix and match: I take one of these, and one Ultra Nourish-Hair every morning. Due to the caffeine in these, taking two at a time can make me edgy, so anyone sensitive to caffeine might want to take note of that.

Huge yellow...(as well as smelly) pills
By Pisces
from Colorado
describe yourself First Time User, Health Conscious
These big horse pills are literally WAY too large for me personally to take. They tend to get stuck in my throat.I probably won't buy these again for that one fact alone. Next time, I will buy a GNC multi-vitamin CAPLET (which should be a lot smaller and much more tolerable to swallow!)I am not sure if I had more energy or not after taking these pills ...since I only took them for 1 month. So, I guess I didn't really notice. And ~ since I'm not able to take them because they are so large; I guess I will never find out!Also, upon opening this vitamin bottle; I immediately noticed a really strange odor. I don't know what in the pills could have made them stink like that. At first, I thought that there might have been something wrong with them. But I decided that they were probably fine; and I did end up finishing all of the pills for the month....The main reason why I wouldn't recommend these pills to anyone is because of how B I G they are. (Thus -- the potentiality of getting stuck in one's throat. .....Not a good feeling......

Very Good
By chynavette
from White House, TN
Within a week of taking these I could tell a difference in my energy level. They seem to be a great multivitam. The only reason I didn't rate them a 5 is because of the smell. GNC needs to work on that issue!!!

Agood vitamin supplement
By Labtech
from Oklahoma
These seem to work pretty well for me, although the smell is really strong. They don't taste that bad, just the smell when you crack open the bottle is about the only drawback.
I notice a difference
By ArtMom
from Orange, CA
Within the first week I noticed that I had more energy after taking these vitamins. The only thing I don't like about them is the strong smell they have. I would buy these again.

Smells very strong
By twins+2
from Nebr
describe yourself Vitamins daily 10yrs
They work fine, and do what they promise but the smell is so powerful. The bottle itself about made me gag when I opened it. It makes my urine smell so bad that its embarassing, and even after washing I can still smell the urine smell. I have never had a vitamin linger with me all day before. I have taken a vitamin everyday since I became a mother 10 years ago but this one I HAVE to quit taking. Stinky!!
As a dietary supplement, take two caplets daily with food.
Store in a cool, dry place.

If you have such a weapon and land in a battle with two enemies that don't join, does spending a charge for the first battle last through the second, or do you have to spend a second charge? It seems like the rules say you can only spend one charge per turn, so perhaps the answer is neither? What do folks think?
