The lemon (Citrus × limon) is a small evergreen tree native to Asia, and the tree's ellipsoidal yellow fruit. The fruit is used for culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world, primarily for its juice, though the pulp and rind (zest) are also used in cooking and baking. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric acid, which gives lemons a sour taste. The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice makes it a key ingredient in drinks and foods such as lemonade.
The cayenne pepper—also known as the Guinea spice, cow-horn pepper, aleva, bird pepper, or, especially in its powdered form, red pepper—is a hot chili pepper used to flavor dishes. It remains green on the plant even when mature, once picked may or may not turn red which is when it is normally eaten, but also eaten while still green. It is a cultivar of Capsicum annuum related to bell peppers, jalapeños, paprika and others. The Capsicum genus is in the nightshade family (Solanaceae).
It is named for the city of Cayenne in French Guiana.
Cayenne is a "spirit leader" of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns athletic teams. He is an anthropomorphic Cayenne pepper (a staple dish of the Acadiana region in which UL Lafayette is located).
UL Lafayette does not have an official mascot. In recent years the university has had a several mascots including live bulldogs (when the athletic teams were named the Bulldogs), Mr. Ragin' Cajun (animated), and the Fabulous Cajun Chicken (the most popular mascot in the history of the school). Cayenne was created using an "out of the box" method. Instead of being a physical representation of Ragin' Cajuns, like most mascots are, Cayenne is the embodiment of the Ragin' Cajun spirit of Acadiana.
Master Cleanse is a modified juice fast that permits no food, substituting tea and lemonade made with maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Proponents claim that the diet detoxifies the body and removes excess fat. There is no scientific evidence that the diet removes any toxins, or that it achieves anything beyond temporary weight loss. Though unlikely to be harmful over the short term it can be harmful over the long term. Short term side effects include fatigue, nausea, dizziness, and dehydration, while long term harm includes loss of muscle mass.
Master Cleanse was developed by Stanley Burroughs, who published it initially in the 1940s, and revived it in 1976 in his books The Master Cleanser and Healing for the Age of Enlightenment.
The chili pepper (also chile pepper or chilli pepper, from Nahuatl chīlli [ˈt͡ʃiːlːi]) is the fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum, members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. The term in British English and in Australia, New Zealand, India, Malaysia and other Asian countries is just chilli without "pepper".
Chili peppers originated in the Americas. After the Columbian Exchange, many cultivars of chili pepper spread across the world, used in both food and medicine. These chili peppers arrived in Asia by the hand of the Portuguese navigators during the 16th century.
Trappey's is one of the oldest hot sauce brands in the United States. It is produced by the New Iberia, Louisiana-based company Trappey's Fine Foods, Inc. Trappey's is by B&G Foods. The company makes Red Devil Cayenne Pepper Sauce, Bull Louisiana Hot Sauce, Indi-pep Pepper Sauce, Chef Magic Jalapeño Sauce and pickled jalapeños.
The company was founded in 1898, when Louisiana entrepreneur (and former McIlhenny Company employee) B.F. Trappey grew tabasco chilies from Avery Island seed.
A Buffalo wing, Buffalo chicken wing, hot wing or wing, in the cuisine of the United States, is a chicken wing section (wingette or drumette) that is generally deep-fried, unbreaded, and coated in a sauce of vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce and butter in the kitchen. They are served hot, along with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing for dipping.
Buffalo wings were created in Buffalo, New York. The residents of Buffalo generally refer to them as "wings" or "chicken wings" rather than "Buffalo wings," but they never use the term "hot wings" to describe them.
The Scoville scale is the measurement of the pungency (spicy heat) of chili peppers or other spicy foods reported in Scoville heat units (SHU), a function of capsaicin concentration. The scale is named after its creator, American pharmacist Wilbur Scoville. His method, devised in 1912, is known as the Scoville Organoleptic Test.
The Scoville scale is an empirical measurement dependant on the capsaicin sensitivity of testers and so not a precise or accurate method to measure capsaicinoid concentration, however, capsaicin concentration can very roughly be estimated as ~18µM/SHU.
SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NW MDM) is a component of SAP's NetWeaver product group and is used as a platform to consolidate, cleanse and synchronise a single version of the truth for master data within a heterogeneous application landscape. It has the ability to distribute internally and externally to SAP and non-SAP applications. SAP MDM is a key enabler of SAP Service-Oriented Architecture. Standard system architecture would consist of a single central MDM server connected to client systems through SAP Exchange Infrastructure using XML documents, although connectivity without SAP XI can also be achieved. There are five standard implementation scenarios:
Some features (for example, workflow) require custom development out of the box to provide screens for end users to use.
"It's Getting Real in the Whole Foods Parking Lot" is a rap song and subject of a viral music video that humorously describes various interactions occurring in and around a Whole Foods Market.
The video was produced by David Wittman, a commercial songwriter. Under the stage name DJDave, Wittman is leader of the Bay Area and Los Angeles, California-based creative collective, Fog and Smog. Wittman says he wrote the song in 20 minutes, and that it contains musical references to songs by Snoop Dogg.
A crash diet is a diet which is extreme in its nutritional deprivations, typically severely restricting calorie intake. It is meant to achieve rapid weight loss and may differ from outright starvation only slightly. It is not meant to last for long periods of time, at most a few weeks. Importantly, the term specifically implies a lack of concern for proper nutrition. Crash diets are also known as "fad diets" and are often seen as quick fix solutions. Contrary to the belief of many who start this sort of diet, this form of dieting is neither healthy nor largely successful in achieving long term weight loss as it provokes a slow down of the body's basal metabolic rate - the body seeks to conserve every calorie and so weight loss becomes increasingly difficult. While some initial weight is often lost, the weight is usually regained quickly in the weeks that follow, as the individual reverts to their original pre-crash diet. It often becomes a vicious circle in which the weight that is regained is often more than the starting weight, causing the dieter to revert to the crash diet, lose weight, regain the weight, and so on.
Golden Sisters is an American reality documentary television series on the Oprah Winfrey Network that debuted on June 1, 2013, at 10/9c.
The following is an episode list for the TLC series, LA Ink. The series premiered on August 7, 2007 and is a spinoff of Miami Ink which focuses on tattoo artist Kat Von D returning to Los Angeles after leaving Miami Ink to pursue her dream of opening up her own tattoo shop. In Season 3, there was a shift of focus away from LA Ink's main shop, High Voltage Tattoo, to feature a rival shop American Electric Tattoo (owned by Craig Jackman). After Amy Nicoletto and Paulie Tattoo left High Voltage Tattoo, they were quickly hired by American Electric which gave viewers and fans new personalities, dynamics and drama to follow. Corey Miller soon joined American Electric Tattoo in Season 4 along with newcomer Ruthless. The show returned on July 28 for the second half of Season 4 but TLC announced that Season 4 would be its last and that the show would be cancelled.
An individual's diet is the sum of food and drink that he or she habitually consumes. Dieting is the practise of attempting to achieve or maintain a certain weight through diet. People's dietary choices are often affected by a variety of factors, including ethical and religious beliefs, clinical need, or a desire to control weight.
Not all diets are considered healthy. Some people follow unhealthy diets through habit, rather than through a conscious choice to eat unhealthily. Terms applied to such eating habits include "junk food diet" and "Western diet". Many diets are considered by clinicians to pose significant health risks and minimal long-term benefit. This is particularly true of "crash" or "fad" diets – short-term weight-loss plans that involve drastic changes to a person's normal eating habits.
Dreamgirls is a 2006 musical drama film, directed by Bill Condon and jointly produced and released by DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures. The film debuted in three special road show engagements starting in December 15, 2006 before its nationwide release on December 25, 2006. Adapted from the 1981 Broadway musical of the same name by composer Henry Krieger and lyricist/librettist Tom Eyen, Dreamgirls is a film à clef of the histories of the Motown record label and one of its acts, The Supremes. The story follows the history and evolution of American R&B music during the 1960s and 1970s through the eyes of a Detroit, Michigan girl group known as the Dreams and their manipulative record executive.
The film adaptation of Dreamgirls stars Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé Knowles, Eddie Murphy, and Jennifer Hudson, and also features Danny Glover, Anika Noni Rose and Keith Robinson. Produced by Laurence Mark, the film's screenplay was adapted by director Bill Condon from the original Broadway book by Tom Eyen. In addition to the original Kreiger/Eyen compositions, four new songs, composed by Krieger with various lyricists, were added for this film. Dreamgirls features the debut of Hudson, also a singer and former American Idol contestant, as an actress.
Christ cleansing ten lepers is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels (Gospel of Luke 17:11-19).
According to the Gospel, on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
A soft drink (also called soda, pop, coke, soda pop, fizzy drink, tonic, seltzer, mineral, sparkling water, lolly water or carbonated beverage) is a beverage that typically contains water (often, but not always, carbonated water), usually a sweetener and usually a flavoring agent. The sweetener may be sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, sugar substitutes (in the case of diet drinks) or some combination of these. Soft drinks may also contain caffeine, colorings, preservatives and other ingredients.
Soft drinks are called "soft" in contrast to "hard drinks" (alcoholic beverages). Small amounts of alcohol may be present in a soft drink, but the alcohol content must be less than 0.5% of the total volume if the drink is to be considered non-alcoholic. Fruit juice, tea and other such non-alcoholic beverages are technically soft drinks by this definition but are not generally referred to as such.
Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.
Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering, and agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population is supplied by the food industry.
Soft matter is a subfield of condensed matter comprising a variety of physical states that are easily deformed by thermal stresses or thermal fluctuations. They include liquids, colloids, polymers, foams, gels, granular materials, and a number of biological materials. These materials share an important common feature in that predominant physical behaviors occur at an energy scale comparable with room temperature thermal energy. At these temperatures, quantum aspects are generally unimportant. Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, who has been called the "founding father of soft matter," received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1991 for discovering that the order parameter from simple thermodynamic systems can be applied to the more complex cases found in soft matter, in particular, to the behaviors of liquid crystals and polymers.
Science of drugs including their origin, composition, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, therapeutic use, and toxicology.
Pharmacology (from Greek φάρμακον, pharmakon, "poison" in classic Greek; "drug" in modern Greek; and -λογία, -logia "study of", "knowledge of") is the branch of medicine and biology concerned with the study of drug action, where a drug can be broadly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous (within the body) molecule which exerts a biochemical and/or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism. More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. If substances have medicinal properties, they are considered pharmaceuticals.
Hospitality is the relationship between the guest and the host, or the act or practice of being hospitable. This includes the reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers.

Hello All! I am a long-time reader, but first time poster. This is only my second year with a full lawn... Over the warm and lovely weekend here in north texas, little baby henbit starting sprouting up all over my lawn! Last year we had a problem and got them one by one with a weed killer. But that wasn't until much later in the year. Lawn experts: what do I do? I know there are all sorts of rules about when you can lay this and when to lay that-I just don't know them! Signed the Lawn Novice |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi acalta, welcome! Ah, I know, the joys of gardening in Texas... a pre-emergent put out in the fall will catch a lot of this stuff; it's time to put out again the first part of March to control weeds that pop up later in the year. I subscribe to Neil Sperry's e-gardens newsletter, it has good information on what/how/when for gardening in this area. His current newsletter has information on when to put down pre-emergent. I am currently battling fall aster that has spread like wildfire over the last year. |
Thank you! We did do a pre-emergent in fall, but according to the garden center, we did it too late. We will reapply in March...and become NS subscribers. I've also been battling the evils of rabbits. My liquid fence just came in the mail last night! woohoo! |

Enjoy the pretty purple flowers! Eat them if they don't have any chemicals on them. You will get good advice from others, but alas, I've loved the henbits since I was a toddler picking them for my mother. I don't even try to kill them. They do work in a salad, though, even if they aren't the absolute best salad greens. |

I leave henbit for the bees. |

Ticonderoga A group of local men will be featured in a new national television program.
Dan Blanchette, his son Zachary and Larry French will appear on "Buried Treasure" on the FOX television network this fall. The Blanchettes are from Ticonderoga. French lives in Crown Point.
"Buried Treasure" is an unscripted series in which identical twin brothers Leigh and Leslie Keno travel across the country to help ordinary people discover the unknown treasures in their homes. The Keno brothers, stars of "Antiques Roadshow," are modern-day treasure hunters, antique experts and appraisers who have helped people all over the world sell more than $1 billion worth of collectibles. From one-of-a-kind comics to a 300-year-old violin, the pair will travel the country to uncover age-old mysteries.
The debuts on Wednesday, Aug. 24, at 8 p.m. The local men were told their episode will be the third or fourth aired.
Dan Blanchette and Ti resident Keith Dolbeck are nationally-known for using metal detectors to unearth historical artifacts. When the producers of "Buried Treasure" starting searching for someone to help locate missing gold, they learned of the Ticonderoga duo.
"Keith and I have been metal detecting 17 years," Blanchette explained. "When the TV producers started researching metal detectors, they heard about us. They asked if we would help find a buried treasure."
Dolbeck was unavailable to assist, so Blanchette asked his son and French to join him on the quest.
The local men was asked to find missing treasure on a farm in Windham, in the Catskill region.
"Years ago a gentleman took all his assets, converted them to gold and buried them on his farm," Blanchette said. "His family had no idea where to find it."
Blanchette and the others are prohibited from discussing specifics of the program until after it airs, but he acknowledged "we were very successful."

[[folder: Sheva Alomar]]
!!!Voiced by Karen Dyer
-->''"Don't worry. I may not be as big as you, but I can still hold my own!"''
Chris' partner during ''5'', with whom he develops a strong bond. She joined the BSAA to fight against biological weapons since her parents had been victims of experiments carried out in Africa with said weapons.
* ActionGirl
* BadassNormal
* BilingualBonus: Her tattoo reads "Shujaa," which is Swahili for "Hero."
* ButNotTooBlack:
* TheChick: For her team.
--> '''Josh:''' Sheva became the little sister of the team.
* ColourCodedCharacters: [[WordOfGod Production notes]] state that it took the team a while before deciding on her signature color -- lavender.
* FurBikini: One of her alternate costume.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Even amongst the other player characters, Sheva stands out. She is one of the nicest characters in the series, especially if you build up her trust, established to be just as good as Chris, Jill, Leon, or Claire, and in the final boss fight, you can have her do one of the most BadAss things in the series and turn Wesker's chest into a scratching post.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She was about to perform one, but Chris saved her from herself.]]
* KnifeNut: Sheva will straight-up shank a fool if given the opportunity.
** Including [[spoiler:Wesker. While he's infected with Uroboros.]]
* MaleGaze: The first thing you're shown of her is pretty much her ''ass''. Lampshaded by {{Unskippable}}.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Her "Clubbin'" alternate costume is visibly inspired by a similar outfit worn by Halle Berry in ''Swordfish''.
* TheLancer: For Chris.
--> '''Sheva:''' There's only so much one person can do. Even a superhero like you, Chris.
* Literature/LittleRedRidingHood: One of her alternate costumes is a HotterAndSexier version of the fairy tale (for [[FetishFuel some reason]]).
* ShoutOut: One of her alternate costumes is a throwback to Hunnigan from ''4''.
* SexySecretary: One of her alternate costumes is of a SexySecretary with a BadassInANiceSuit vibe.
* StepfordSmiler: She outrightly defies this trope based on analysis. Despite her tragic background, she refuses to be a [[EmptyShell let down]], and instead keeps a [[ThePollyanna healthy and upbeat attitude]]. Most characters in her position are usually TheStoic, TheWoobie, etc. If you just met her and didn't know her, you would think her life was [[TastesLikeDiabetes sunshine and rainbows]].
* TrueCompanions: She's pretty much about this, either for Chris or for her team.
[[folder: Josh Stone]]
!!!Voiced by: TJ Storm
The captain of BSAA West Africa Branch and Sheva's mentor. He becomes Jill's partner in DLC, Desperate Escape.
* {{Badass}}: Firmly establishes himself as one, both as Jill's parter in ''Desperate Escape'' and in the Mercenaries game, where he's lugging the shotgun and an RPG.
** Not to mention using hammer punches and elbow drops.
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Averted. [[spoiler:He survives the entirety of ''[=RE5=]''.]]
* TheGoodCaptain: Of BSAA West Africa.
* LowerDeckEpisode: A DLC campaign ("Desperate Escape") in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' allows you to play as him and Jill Valentine trying to escape from the Tricell headquarters.
* TheMentor: To Sheva.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: His melee takedowns include elbow drops, German suplexes, and ''chokeslams''.
[[folder: Ozwell E. Spencer]]
!!!Voiced by Adam D. Clarke
A British [[BlueBlood lord]] and founder and President of the Umbrella Corporation, who set in motion the events of the entire series in an attempt to make a new, superior race with himself ruling over it.
* AGodAmI: "I was to become a god!"
* AristocratsAreEvil: He's a Lord......his last name is perhaps a ShoutOut to the venerable Spencer family, of which Princess Diana was a member.
* BadBoss: In [[DownloadableContent "Lost in Nightmares"]] from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'', you can read diary entries of those who worked in Spencer's mansions. It seems he turned a lot of them into test subjects, and ultimately into monsters and zombies.
* BiggerBad: He's TheManBehindTheMan to all of Umbrella, including [[AGodAmI Alexia]], [[DragonInChief Sergei]], [[MadScientist Birkin]], and series' most recurring villain, [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Albert Wesker]]. Yet, he is rarely seen throughout the series and doesn't even interact with the protagonists.
* TheChessmaster
* CelebrityResemblance: His voice actor, who is a self-admitted ''Franchise/StarWars'' fan, based his voice on that of Ian [=McDiarmid=]'s role of Emperor Palpatine.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Kills Marcus through Wesker and Birkin, betrays the latter for attempting to leave Umbrella, betrays George Trevor by locking him inside his mansion, and lastly betrays [[spoiler:Wesker by admitting he is his creation]].
* CorruptCorporateExecutive
* [[spoiler:CutsceneBoss]]: After waiting numerous games to meet Ozwell E. Spencer in the flesh, [[spoiler:Wesker kills him in a cutscene. Although, fighting an 89 year old man on life support probably would not have been an epic boss battle.]]
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: The years have clearly taken their toll. He was even the page image for a time. He's reduced to being confined to wheelchair and life support system three years before ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' due to his old age. [[spoiler:He expects Alex Wesker to reverse this condition by engineering an Immortality virus, although Albert Wesker kills him to become the BigBad after Spencer reveals that Wesker was one of many {{Unwitting Pawn}}s for Umbrella known as "Wesker children" in a project done to create the perfect breed of humans.]]
* EvilCripple: He's in a wheelchair when Wesker finds him.
* EvilOldFolks: 89 [[spoiler:when he dies.]]
* [[spoiler:ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How Wesker kills him, using his bare hands!]]
* MadScientist
* TheManBehindTheCurtain: He's behind all the bad stuff in series, whether directly or indirectly, but he's little more than a pitiful old man, whining about how he was unable to achieve godhood.
* TheManBehindTheMan: To Sergei, who's his DragonInChief, Alexia, and Birkin (who he employs), and in an odd way, Wesker, who he created.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: If Spencer didn't order Wesker and Birkin to assassinate Dr. Marcus, none of the events relating to Umbrella's downfall and afterwards would have happened.
* NonActionBigBad: Par excellence.
* SmugSnake: Smart and a capable schemer, he's behind almost every bad thing in-series, but he waited too long to put his plan in motion, allowing Wesker to hijack it for himself.
* [[spoiler:TheUnfought: The heroes never even meet him alive. He's already been killed by the time Chris and Jill bust into his chamber.]]
[[folder: Excella Gionne]]
!!!Voiced by Nina Fahren
-->''"You're just not ready for me!"''
Excella is the CEO of [[MegaCorp Tricell]] Africa and one of the people responsible for the creation of the Uroboros Virus. She also shares Wesker's idea of WorldDomination and intends to be the [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen]] of the new world with Wesker as her King.
* AbsoluteCleavage: See the image.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She was in love with Wesker of all people!
* AllWomenAreLustful: Some of her interactions with Wesker seems to verge on this. Though it is understandable since Wesker is a [[MrFanservice steamy hunk]].
* ArmorPiercingSlap: Has the literal version in ''Mercenaries Reunion''. And yes, her slaps can make enemies' heads explode.
* TheBaroness
* BetterLivingThroughEvil
* BrainyBrunette: Evil Brainy Brunette.
* CombatStilettos: She keeps her high heels in Mercenaries Reunion.
* {{Dark|ActionGirl}} LadyOfWar: Though she doesn't fight in the actual game, on Mercenaries Reunion, she kicks ass with vicious elegance.
* TheDragon: To Wesker.
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:On the receiving end of this, though seeing this is Wesker we're talking about, it's really no surprise.]]
* EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench: Sort of. She possesses a French Accent, but her last name is closer to that of Italian.
* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench
* EvilutionaryBiologist
* FemmeFatale: {{Subverted}}. She has all it takes to be one fierce Femme Fatale, beauty, intelligence, and cunning, but [[spoiler:in the end she is the one who falls for Wesker's [[TheCasanova masculine wiles]] and pays for it.]]
* HotScientist: She majored in genetic engineering.
* JigglePhysics
* MsFanservice
* OmnicidalManiac: Excella agrees with Wesker's plan in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'', which would include killing, at the least, ''billions'' of humans.
* RichBitch
* SayMyName: '''ALBEEEEEERRRT!!!'''
* SexyBacklessOutfit
* SheFu: Her Disco Spin move.
* StatuesqueStunner: 5'9".
* {{Stripperific}}: A backless mini-dress and pumps is not the appropriate attire for running around the African jungle or an oil rig.
* [[spoiler:TooDumbToLive: It's hard to believe she really thought Wesker ''wasn't'' going to stab her in the ribs.]]
* UnholyMatrimony: With Wesker, though they weren't indeed married to each other but in her head...
* WomanInWhite: Though it's not played for mystery or necessarily to show that she is evil.
* WomanOfWealthAndTaste: Her dress and shoes are both based on pieces by real life haute-couture designers. [[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry Her jewels look just as expensive and chic]].
[[folder: Ricardo Irving]]
!!!Voiced By: Allan Groves
Director of the oil facility headed by [[MegaCorp Tricell]] Africa, Irving helped found its B.O.W. research department, and subsequently became known as a "death dealer" on the black market for distributing the products Tricell developed to African bioterrorists. Chris and Sheva going to Africa to capture him is what kickstarts the events of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5''.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Upon his death, he keeps laughing and mocking Chris and Sheva:
-->'''Irving''': "Dying's not so bad. But it doesn't change anything... you're still screwed!" (''cue EvilLaugh'')
* DiscOneFinalBoss: The first part of the game is all about chasing him, investigating him, and arresting him -- it's only upon his defeat that he lets it slip he was merely following orders from Tricell's CEO, Excella.
* ItsAllAboutMe
* LargeHam: Especially once he goes OneWingedAngel.
--> '''Irving:''' I've given myself an extreme makeover!
* OneWingedAngel: A gigantic sea-beast most comparable to [[KrakenAndLeviathan The Kraken]].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Attempted this after failing to kill Chris and Sheva. It didn't work out for him.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: His accent sounds either [[BrooklynRage Brooklyn]] or New Jersey.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: By being forced to infect himself with a dominant-strain of Plaga.
[[folder: Alex Wesker]]
-->"You'll be pleased to hear that all experiments are running smoothly."
A trusted servant of Oswell E. Spencer and, after [[spoiler:Albert Wesker's death in VideoGame/ResidentEvil5, the sole survivor of the Wesker children project]]. His existence is revealed by files in VideoGame/ResidentEvil5's 'Lost In Nightmares' DLC (well, actually, if you look hard enough, you can find small references to him in the main game itself, for instance if you read the files on the ship where you fight Excella), where it's revealed he was conducting experiments for Spencer in the South Seas. With Spencer's death, his current whereabouts are unknown.
* ChekhovMIA: Seems to be set up as one, since the last we heard of him, he'd disappeared off the face of the Earth with all of the research he'd been doing for Spencer.
* TheDragon: To Spencer.
** DragonWithAnAgenda: It's implied in one file that he betrayed Spencer shortly before his death, having ceased all contact with him.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: Spencer notes that Alex's experiments to find the secret of immortality required "thousands upon thousands" of test subjects. It's unknown if he succeeded or not.
* GeniusBruiser: Said to be the brightest of all the Wesker children, and has comparable powers to Albert having been administered the same experimental virus.
* LightningBruiser: As with Albert.
* ParentalFavoritism: Spencer's favorite of all the Wesker children.
* SamusIsAGirl: Subverted. Because of botched translations and localizations of Lost of Nightmares, any third person gender identifiers were left out, leading several fans to assume that Alex was female. The Japanese version makes it very clear that Alex was a male.
* StrongerSibling: Is already being set up this way, although who knows if it will last.
* SuperSoldier: Given the strong implications that he took the same virus as Albert Wesker did in the notes regarding Alex, it is extremely likely that he became this, with all the abilities Albert Wesker had.

We also made pensions and health insurance more flexible and placed greater emphasis on the responsibility of the individual in keeping costs down.
For the German welfare state, this step marked a paradigm shift that many believed would carve away hard-earned benefits. In fact, we were able to strengthen the system by making Germany globally competitive and ensuring that benefits remained affordable for our aging population. At the same time, we raised expenditures in education, research, and innovation. This gave a further boost to the German industrial base. Implementing these reforms was politically challenging – they cost me my job – but the result has shown it was worth it: Germany is now the best situated of all European economies. France, Italy, Great Britain, and others now have to catch up with this reform process, but under much more difficult conditions.
With Germany's strength, however, comes a political responsibility for Europe in overcoming the financial crisis and spurring growth in the global economy as a whole. Germany has to contribute its share to stabilizing Europe's economy and its currency, the euro.
Though it could have acted with greater determination when the crisis first began to unfold, the current German administration is now doing this.

When I was a young boy (early 90's) I watched an animated movie, possibly an anime, and it always stuck in my head. Problem is I can't remember the title. I will try to describe it so can you guys/gals please help me.
"One day the protagonist's schoolfriends go on a school trip to the electropower dam that his father designed but he stays behind because he can't confront it. Mean time on another planet/dimension evil guys unleash a mechanical beast upon the dam. While the beast is destroying the buildings, endangering the people and students, the protagonist senses this and rushes to rescue his friends. Because he's actually an alien (royal family) from another planet that the attacking aliens destroyed, he has the ability to transform/pilot into a giant robot and uses this power to fight the evil beast. He starts to lose the fight against the beast but his friends get contacted by another entity and are granted flying machines/mechas to support their friend. They defeat the beast by redirecting solar beams to power up the protagonist's mecha."
Other notable facts are. - The protagonist is the leader of the football team - the other entity I mention is a pure white man on a pure white pegasus, I think he wields a lance of light. - the crest of the royal family he descends from is a burning sun. - the evil aliens hold the protagonist's mother (the queen) captive on their planet. - when the protagonist transforms we see shots of his muscles growing. - the protagonist's mecha can combine with the machines of his friends.

How to Fix Common Remote Control Toy Vehicle Problems:
- Check batteries and battery connections first. Try fresh batteries in both the toy and the transmitter, making sure that the positive and negative ends of the batteries correspond correctly to the connections. Wipe the battery connections with a clean cloth
- Clean remote control car that have spent much time outdoors. It's possible that the RC cars contains dirt or debris that led to a loss of movement. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly
- Look for loose wires in both your remote and the RC cars. If you find one, strip the plastic back so that you can reattach the wire. Wrap with electrical tape when connected
- Tighten anything loose on your RC cars. Face it, you know the RC cars made some daring escapades that could cause something to loosen. Tighten loose antennas by hand; use a screwdriver or wrench to tighten other loose parts. Electrical tape can provide temporary fixes to broken rotors or antennas
- Open up the remote control RC cars with the appropriate screwdriver. Repair loose wires with a small soldering iron. Make sure nothing is impeding the motor
- Replace parts as needed. Toy manufacturers often offer replacement parts like antennas, motors or rotors for flying toys
- Please do not try to control the RC cars in the dangerous and sandy place
- The speed may be different due to the different circumstance
- While on running the RC cars do not touch the antenna of the transmitter
- Do not get close to the other remote control cars to avoid frequency interference between two RC cars
- You should keep the RC cars and transmitter away the high-heat stuff and place, because that will damage the electric parts
- Don't running the RC cars on the bumpy road that will affect the speed of your RC cars
- To enjoy the best speed, do not point the antenna to the car and keep the antenna upright
- If the RC cars gets wet, please immediately buff dry with a clean cloth
- When the RC cars moves unusually, it may be interfered by high voltage, wireless or the car at the same frequency
- Please do not control the RC cars near concrete wall to avoid obstructing the operation of RC cars
- Operation by children should only be done under adult supervision

About those Ultrasounds: What if Doctors just say no?
They're angry, they're anguished, they're dumbstruck. (Join the club.) And they're speaking out anonymously--sadly--because we live in a country where medical doctors can no longer talk freely about abortion, a legal medical procedure, without fear of retribution.
This from a post called "Civil Disobedience" by palMD at his blog, White Coat Underground. (Take a few minutes to read some of his other posts while you're there. Good stuff.):
"In the case of abortions, where time is essential and providers may not be easy to find, delays in care are unconscionable. To enforce a waiting period violates the doctor's ethical duty to provide appropriate, timely care and to avoid causing the patient unnecessary grief. The law forces us to violate our ethics. To force us to perform ultrasounds, transvaginal or otherwise, is battery.Another caring doctor used John Scalzi's blog, "Whatever", to lay out a plan for civil disobedience. He says, in part:
No procedure can be performed on a patient without their informed consent. To make another important procedure contingent on an unnecessary one is a clear violation of medical ethics. Abortions can be safely performed without sonography, and should be unless their is compelling medical reason to perform one—with the patient's consent. To say that a woman can always refuse the ultrasound as long as they refuse the abortion is an immoral argument, one which removes all autonomy from the patient, and forces a doctor to make unreasonable choices."
"I do not feel that it is reactionary or even inaccurate to describe an unwanted, non-indicated transvaginal ultrasound as "rape". If I insert ANY object into ANY orifice without informed consent, it is rape. And coercion of any kind negates consent, informed or otherwise.
In all of the discussion and all of the outrage and all of the Doonesbury comics, I find it interesting that we physicians are relatively silent.He then offers a five-step plan designed to keep physicians from ever having to perform an unwanted ultrasound on a female patient, starting it off with a bang:
After all, it's our hands that will supposedly be used to insert medical equipment (tools of HEALING, for the sake of all that is good and holy) into the vaginas of coerced women.
Fellow physicians, once again we are being used as tools to screw people over. This time, it's the politicians who want to use us to implement their morally reprehensible legislation. They want to use our ultrasound machines to invade women's bodies, and they want our hands to be at the controls. Coerced and invaded women, you have a problem with that? Blame us evil doctors. We are such deliciously silent scapegoats.
It is our responsibility, as always, to protect our patients from things that would harm them. Therefore, as physicians, it is our duty to refuse to perform a medical procedure that is not medically indicated. Any medical procedure. Whatever the pseudo-justification.
It's time for a little old-fashioned civil disobedience."
"1) Just don't comply. No matter how much our autonomy as physicians has been eroded, we still have control of what our hands do and do not do with a transvaginal ultrasound wand. If this legislation is completely ignored by the people who are supposed to implement it, it will soon be worth less than the paper it is written on."And ends it with a bigger bang:
"It comes down to this: When the community has failed a patient by voting an ideologue into office…When the ideologue has failed the patient by writing legislation in his own interest instead of in the patient's…When the legislative system has failed the patient by allowing the legislation to be considered… When the government has failed the patient by allowing something like this to be signed into law… We as physicians cannot and must not fail our patients by ducking our heads and meekly doing as we're told. Because we are their last line of defense."Alrighty then. The man has a way with words, doesn't he? He's actually echoing more forcefully the guidelines already set long ago by the American College of obstetricians and Gynecologists--the very guidelines the state of Virginia so clearly and consciously aims to violate. ( The story here by Rick Unger in Forbes.).
In 2009 ACOG reaffirmed their recommendations on non-medical ultrasounds:
"The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has endorsed the following statement from the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) discouraging the use of obstetric ultrasonography for non-medical purposes (eg, solely to create keepsake photographs or videos) (1):Of course, the states advocating this unprecedented invasion into women's lives aren't in the least impressed by protestations from anybody not connected with their own Koch-fueled, pseudo-religious circles--not even the medical pros, who are, you know, medical professionals.
The AIUM advocates the responsible use of diagnostic ultrasound. The AIUM strongly discourages the non-medical use of ultrasound for psychosocial or entertainment purposes. The use of either two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound to only view the fetus, obtain a picture of the fetus or determine the fetal gender without a medical indication is inappropriate and contrary to responsible medical practice. Although there are no confirmed biological effects on patients caused by exposures from present diagnostic ultrasound instruments, the possibility exists that such biological effects may be identified in the future. Thus ultrasound should be used in a prudent manner to provide medical benefit to the patient."
According to the Guttmacher Institute, as of March 1, 2012:
- 11 states require verbal counseling or written materials to include information on accessing ultrasound services.
- 20 states regulate the provision of ultrasound by abortion providers.
- 7 states mandate that an abortion provider perform an ultrasound on each woman seeking an abortion, and require the provider to offer the woman the opportunity to view the image.
- 9 states require that a woman be provided with the opportunity to view an ultrasound image if her provider performs the procedure as part of the preparation for an abortion.
- 5 states require that a woman be provided with the opportunity to view an ultrasound image.
There are signs that some state legislatures may be rethinking their actions (Idaho, for instance), but it's a cinch they're only rethinking them in order to get around any detours to their goals. When they come up with something this nutty in the first place, the chances that either common sense or common decency will prevail are slim to none.
So how do we get through to them? We can't shame them; they're shameless. We can't shun them; they're in charge. But we can raise our voices in decibels loud enough to be heard above the din of old-testament retribution disguised as modern-day government.
This was never how it was supposed to be.
(Crossposted at Ramona's Voices)
I tend to be the eternal optimist but I really do think they've gone too far this time. The states that are still trying to get their phony laws passed just haven't caught up yet.
There's no pretending it's anything but what it is--an attempt at intimidation. This is not what we elect lawmakers to do.

In the meantime, we need to speak out, shout out do whatever we can to stand up to elected bullies who appear to have lost all sense of proportion or decency.
If you wouldn't call a medically unnecessary vaginal probe used for the single reason to cause shame and humiliation to the patient "Intrusive Government" what the hell WOULD qualify???
Next there is no way that a doctor is going to make a regular practice of doing, or not doing, something that will risk his license. Unlike what one of the comments doctors are broke. The years and money it took to get to the point where you can practice is staggering.
They won't break the law, they will just quit doing abortions.
@Catlion, I don't know if either doctor does abortions. What they were objecting to was the use of ultrasounds for reasons outside of medical necessity. They made it pretty clear that they would protect a woman's right to privacy and good medical care.
I think the part about destroying papers is a bit of hyperbole. You're right that no physician is going to jeopardize his career by doing something illegal or unethical, no matter how good the cause.
I didn't see anything there that would indicate the end of abortions. Just the opposite, in fact. The MDs wouldn't be stepping forward and objecting to pre-abortion ultrasounds unless they believed in that procedure. They would instead be siding with those who see this as the perfect excuse to end Roe v. Wade.
That's not speaking out. As noted elsewhere in the comments, doctors have a lot of clout. And, it would appear, they feel they have a lot to lose. All the big talk quoted here is easily dismissed. Doctor X is being forced to violate their ethics? Do something, doc! In every social conflict of the last 50 years, the only folks who had an impact were those who were willing to take a risk by taking action.
"I didn't see anything there that would indicate the end of abortions."
It's so simple. They won't do a medical procedure that is unnecessary. They won't break the law and risk their license. There is only one other option. That's to not do the abortion. That's the only 3 options that they have. But no, it didn't say end abortion but that is the logical conclusion when the other options are jail or unemployment.
Unless they do abortions it's easy to make grand statements. It's like those in the $30,000 income range yelling tax the rich. It's easy since they are not likely to get there. If you want to make grand statements, make them about something that will hurt your life.
This makes no sense. If an eye doc gets 20 new patients in the office today and they all need cataract surgery, they will all be told they need 3 days of eye drops prior to surgery. All 20 will say OK, I want surgery in 3 days. Obviously the doc time and the clinic time will not be available in 3 days for all of them. If no drops are needed all 20 will say I want it tomorrow. Same problem. While checking my first eye my doc recently asked if I wanted my 2nd eye done in 3 days. I said sure. He nurse said, sorry the clinic is not available in 3 days. And on the 4th day the clinic was available but not the doc. See how that works (or doesn't work) regardless of the medical need to wait.
And certainly if someone needs their vision saved with immediate surgery the doc won't require the patient wait for 3 days while taking antibiotic drops. They will save the eye and worry about infection after.
There is no guarantee that under today's laws that a woman can get scheduled any sooner. It is a mathematical/logistical problem. It does not change regardless of the length of required wait time after the decision is made. Everyday x number of people make the decision, x number of docs are providers. If the wait is 3 days it simply means that x number of procedures are desired in 3 days instead of today.
In the case of an emergency like pre eclampsia, where a woman can die if the infant is not immediately delivered/aborted (which ever the case may be) I have to believe there will be no such exams or waiting. The only limitation would be how fast she can get to the hospital if not already there. Even if suspected, it can come on quickly and minutes will matter. No way any doc , law or not, is going to let a woman die in the bed while waiting for an ultrasound.
Legitimate protests from professionals in the field have far more clout than those of the rest of us. I don't see how you can dismiss what physicians are saying, or what ACOG and AIUM are saying. Anything they can do to highlight how wrongheaded those decisions are can only be a good thing.
@Catnlion, again, I think you need to look at the larger picture. This is big because we're hearing from the medical profession for the first time about an issue that directly affects how they do their jobs.
Of the hundreds of thousands of physicians in the U.S only a small percentage do abortions. The fact that doctors with no stake in the game are coming forward to voice their opposition to the ultrasound laws should be an indication that this isn't going away. This is just the beginning. What happens next is anybody's guess, but I see this as a huge step forward.
@Oryoki Bowl, I agree with you. If the medicos join together and make it clear that this is not how the medical profession operates--and will not operate--the lawmakers will have to back down. It's happening already. And yes, it's the techs who do the actual ultrasounds usually, but a doctor has to prescribe them. They're ultimately responsible for having the ultrasound done, no matter who runs the machine.
@Joseph Cole, your argument is specious. Yes, there often are unavoidable delays in patient care, but obviously the quote is directed at needless delays. State-ordered ultrasounds for no medical reason constitute the kind of red-tape delays that are, in fact, unconscionable.
Those who object can refuse and face the legal consequences. The medical profession is better without them.
Good lord, what does that even mean? What consequences? An ultrasound? What consequences do you have in mind for the man who got her pregnant? (You do understand, don't you, that a man was involved?)
Your comments on this subject are too silly to be taken seriously. Your notions about the very private decisions on abortion are straight out of the Cave Man Comix.
"Face the consequences" tells me all I need to know about where you're coming from. I suggest you go back there. You'll be much happier.
Doctors can speak out, but so few of us can do abortions ourselves.
The medical profession, as one voice, can do more than millions of us combined. If the states can legislate something as egregious as unnecessary, non-medical ultrasounds and get away with it, there's no telling where they'll go from here.
Many doctors are more than willing to let women suffer in physical and mental agony, facing death as they bleed out from pregnancies gone awry, while deliberately doing nothing because they put their pious patriarchal "moral beliefs" ahead of the life, health, and wellbeing of the pregnant woman. Doctors have been guilty of :
1. Denying rape victims brought to the ER Plan B as part of the rape kit, or even info on where to get it. [Read here:http://godlessfeminist.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/when-religion-false-morality-and-medicine-collide-%E2%80%94-ec-and-conscience-clauses/]
2. Letting women suffer and almost DIE rather than perform a life-saving abortion on nonviable pregnancies [Read here: http://www.salon.com/2011/05/26/abortion_saved_my_life/singleton/]
3. Have a consistent track record of abusing women in childbirth by denying adequate pain relief among other things with little to no repercussions. [Read here: http://www.hencigoer.com/downloads/cruelty_maternity_wards.pdf ]
4. Willingly earned their comfortable lives by accepting employment at religious affiliated hospitals to earn a good living (better than 80% of the rest of Americans), even though that meant inflicting gratuitous cruelty on women while passing the buck and blaming it on some higher-ups. [Read here: http://www.nwlc.org/resource/below-radar-fact-sheet-religious-refusals-treat-pregnancy-complications-put-women-danger ]
5. Willingly go along with this sociopathic program of femicide because their status, comforts and luxuries of upper-middle classdom are more important to them than the lives and wellbeing of the women coming to them for help, especially POOR women.
Doctors have far more clout, cultural and social capital and financial capital than most of their patients, whom, if they truly gave a damn about, they would be protecting. The AMA and the ACOG and countless states' medical communities have far more political pull in this society than the majority of women they treat.
How many have used their privileges to speak out for the largest subgroup of the population with the least economic opportunity and political power since this War on Women was launched beginning with the Hyde Amendment back in 1976 when women's human rights were re-framed as a social class privilege that only SOME women "deserve" but not others?
Doctors are not innocent bystanders, and they're not "apolitical" like they claim. They are a product of this same fetid, greed-driven, misogynist sepulcher decaying from within from its own hubris that holds women as disposable incubators as Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly — whose hate speech over public airwaves for years have dehumanized women as "lesser thans" undeserving of basic human rights while citizenship and personhood is conferred upon corporations and zygotes.
Meanwhile, those of us among the oppressed who dared to speak out against the oppressor are demonized as "man-haters" and "feminazis."
Words have consequences, because deeds follow words.
The medical community is just as culpable as right-wing talking heads of prime time TV and talk radio, the powerful sadistic religious lobbies (like the USCCB) and ideological demagogues driving this forced birth phantasmagoria because silence is consent.
Doctors and nurses have been just as guilty in this dirty war against women as the Congressmen who pass "fetal pain" laws while blatantly disregarding the pain, trauma, and disfigurement a woman suffers in pregnancy and childbirth and claiming that women "use rape as an excuse to get abortions" (Sen. Chuck Winder, R-ID), and state lawmakers who publicly refer to women as reproductive livestock and "farm animals" (Terry England of Georgia).
As a member of the most disempowered class (the jobless poor) among the most oppressed group (women), I have seen exactly how little women are respected and valued in this society and how much most men really hate women — including those in the lucrative self-policing profession who took an oath of ethics.
My grandmother once taught me: when someone shows you who they really are, believe them.
If you don't want to get slapped and insulted, don't have an abortion. If you want an abortion, you have to agree to a battery.
Perhaps I can help you with the concept of consequence. Pregnancy can be a consequence of fucking. Human life can at some point be a consequence of pregnancy. The destruction of human life can at some point be a consequence of abortion. Aside from situations of rape, women have control of each consequence. Most women accept that responsibility; others whine about it.
Those who feel their contrived outrage allows them to attempt to negate the majority approval resort to harassment.
The Catholic Church used to have varying degrees of sin attached to abortion, depending on what stage of pregnancy. The religious right didn't get involved in abortion politics until it was realized it was a great way to raise anger and money and political power.
So, 150 years ago the Catholics had a different opinion,and around 40 years ago the religious right leaders declared they wouldn't object, and then did. In their case, the sound of fake outrage is very similar to the sound of a cash register ringing.
As always with fanatical ideological movements, the contrived outrage builds because what gins up anger has to escalate to keep True Believers hooked in, and the attempts to harass follow the same course. They're all varying degrees of phonies and charlatans. I haven't really thought about where to place ol' Gordon on that scale, though.
Roe vs. Wade is based on a technicality: it's going to get challenged. We better be prepared to redefine a lot of things.
But now, suddenly, the Tea Party states have figured out that harassment and attempts at draconian regulating are almost as good a deterrent as outright banning.
It's going to be a bumpy ride.
When you sprout a cock, then you can spout off about male responsibilities.
Does this argument sound familiar?
Who is the government to shame women in this way? Maybe we should require they wear a scarlet "A" to stand for "abortion" following the procedure, that would really teach 'em.
These guys didn't get the message, and neither did the people who voted for them.

Thanks for all your gifties on my Gotcha Day Anniversary and I got a cute picture from We Bees Siameezers! I'll try to put it on my page. Ginger and I have been with our dad now, since July 21, 2007. At that time the family was Felix, Serena, and Tabatha. Later on, Felix and then Serena, flew up to the Rainbow Bridge. Today the family is Tabatha, Ginger and me, and Tyson who came to the family in 2009. I've gained a little weight on the Prednisolone that the Vet gave and my poops are not always runny; sometimes they are but that is likely because I don't always eat the food when the Prednisolone is in it. But my dad watches me eat and makes sure that when I walk away, he will bring my dish to me again and again to be sure I've ate as much as I really can eat without forcing me. I'm so picky and fussy sometimes and yet I'm begging for food usually before the others are! Thank you all again! Love Elsa, xo
Thank you all for the wishes on my birthday today! I love the photos from Lynzee, We Bees Siamese and the Kasian Family. I'll post those next. Thanks too for the mail, and pretty gifties on my page!! At my last Vet visit the Vet said I was too thin and my Dad said my poo was always a puddle; because he'd see me going, sometimes. Plus I would make a loud meow out of nowhere once or twice a day. The Vet tested me with blood tests and found I have a bowel infection. She gave me Metronidazole (drops to put in my mouth). It was so bitter I would run every time my Dad came near me because I thought he would give me that bitter medicine. This is not good when a thin kitty needs to eat more often. Plus, so much medicine leaked out of my mouth that I hardly got any of it anyway. It was so sticky that the fur under my chin matted! So the Vet changed the medicine to Prednisolone that has a chicken flavor. My dad mixes it in my wet food twice a day. Since I usually don't finish all the food in a bowl, Dad still does not know if I get enough medicine. But the loud meows don't seem to happen as often, so maybe the medicine helps a little. I have, in the past few months, developed a bad habit of 'sometimes' not always, pooping in the living room. Most of the time it's still usually small, soft puddles but sometimes it's elongated but narrow stool. Maybe the medicine is helping a little bit. I do use the litter box too. One problem is, when I do the pooping in the living room, it's while Dad is at work, and he's not sure it's me, but it's a pretty good guess it's me doing that. Time will tell. Time also makes Dad clean up after me often in the living room. I'm almost done the Prednisolone so once I see the Vet again we'll find out if we need to do anything more. I look and act and run around totally normally though as if nothing's wrong. Meanwhile I'll run around happy thinking of all your birthday wishes; thank you all again! Love Elsa, xo
Thank you to all my Catster friends for the skeleton's dancing on my page! They are doing a dance that I know I cannot imitate! I hope you all had fun on Hallowe'en and that it was not too spooky because you might have had some strange looking visitors coming to your doors! Love Elsa, xo

GM supplied the curb weight of this truck, which is 6522 pounds; combine that with the 397-horsepower, 765-pound-foot Duramax V-8, and the truck has a 16.4:1 weight-to-power ratio. Not bad for a three-quarter ton. Power delivery is quick and linear off the line, and the tires provide plenty of grip. This is a truck that's built for hard work -- 9900-pound GVW, 17,800-pound fifth-wheel towing capacity, 3378-pound payload -- yet if you don't regularly glance down at the speedometer, you will get a speeding ticket in this truck. Performance numbers show 0-to-60-mph time is 5.9 seconds and the quarter-mile time is 14.8 seconds at 91.3 mph. Diesel clatter is fairly quiet and the six-speed transmission's shifts are smooth. While you feel the torquey thrust of power when accelerating, there is a strange disconnect between what the truck should be doing (hard work) and what it actually is doing (hitting 60 mph in less than six seconds). The thought arises that even though trees are whizzing by, you can't possibly be going as fast as it seems. But you are.
Aside from the lack of interior amenities, including limited passenger and cargo room in the cabin, there is no compromise between the work aspect of this heavy-duty truck and the fun factor. And while we didn't have the chance to record fuel-economy data, this configuration has the potential to be among the best in this size category. You can buy this combination in both GMC and Chevrolet skins, but odds are most dealerships won't carry this exact truck. We took a look at how much it would cost to order one. Base price for the rear-drive longbed regular cab 2500HD is $28,960. Add the Duramax and Allison (the turbodiesel and transmission cost about an extra $8400 over the price of the base work truck), and MSRP is $37,680 without any other extras. (You can also get rear drive, regular cab, and Duramax/Allison in a 3500HD configuration.) That price is only marginally higher than what the half-ton Lightning and Silverado SS cost several years ago.
Best possible towing and payload capacity in the 2500 heavy-duty line, the least expensive way you can get a diesel, incredibly quick to 60 mph, potentially excellent fuel economy -- the street truck still lives, just in a different form than before.

Will & Grace is an American television sitcom, originally based on the relationship between William Truman and Grace Adler, and is set in New York City. It was broadcast on NBC from September 21, 1998 to May 18, 2006 for a total of eight seasons. Will & Grace was, during its original run, the most successful television series with gay principal characters. It still enjoys success in syndication.
Despite initial criticism for its particular portrayal of homosexual characters, it went on to become a staple of NBC's Must See TV Thursday night lineup. It was ensconced in the Nielsen top 20 for half of its network run. The show was the highest-rated sitcom among adults 18–49, from 2001 and 2005. Throughout its eight-year run, Will & Grace earned 16 Emmy Awards and 83 nominations.
"A Chorus Lie" is the sixteenth episode of the American television series Will & Grace's fourth season. It was written by Tracy Poust and Jon Kinnally and directed by series producer James Burrows. The episode originally aired on NBC in the United States on February 7, 2002. Guest stars in "A Chorus Lie" include Matt Damon, Leslie Jordan, and Patrick Kerr.
In the episode, Jack (Sean Hayes) begins a rivalry with a fellow named Owen (Matt Damon). They are competing to be the final entrant in a gay men's chorus, and after learning that Owen is straight, Jack tries to "in" him with help from Grace (Debra Messing). Meanwhile, Karen (Megan Mullally) tries to pass off Will (Eric McCormack) as her lover and not her lawyer when she discovers that she is the object of pity for being single at her own Valentine's Day party.
Entertainment is a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience, or gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or a task, but is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention. Although people's attention is held by different things, because individuals have different preferences in entertainment, most forms are recognisable and familiar. Storytelling, music, drama, dance, and different kinds of performance exist in all cultures, were supported in royal courts, developed into sophisticated forms and over time became available to all citizens. The process has been accelerated in modern times by an entertainment industry which records and sells entertainment products. Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to suit any scale, ranging from an individual who chooses a private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products; to a banquet adapted for two; to any size or type of party, with appropriate music and dance; to performances intended for thousands; and even for a global audience.
The experience of being entertained has come to be strongly associated with amusement, so that one common understanding of the idea is fun and laughter, although many entertainments have a serious purpose. This may be the case in the various forms of ceremony, celebration, religious festival, or satire for example. Hence, there is the possibility that what appears as entertainment may also be a means of achieving insight or intellectual growth.
In journalism, a human interest story is a feature story that discusses a person or people in an emotional way. It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest, sympathy or motivation in the reader or viewer.
Human interest stories may be "the story behind the story" about an event, organization, or otherwise faceless historical happening, such as about the life of an individual soldier during wartime, an interview with a survivor of a natural disaster, a random act of kindness or profile of someone known for a career achievement.
A social issue (also called a social problem or a social situation) is an issue that relates to society's perception of a person's personal lives. Different cultures have different perceptions and what may be "normal" behavior in one society may be a significant social issue in another society. Social issues are distinguished from economic issues. Some issues have both social and economic aspects, such as immigration. There are also issues that don't fall into either category, such as wars.
Thomas Paine, in Rights of Man and Common Sense, addresses man's duty to "allow the same rights to others as we allow ourselves". The failure to do so causes the birth of a social issue.

You guys who are saying that OnStar is a optional service- it is.
But remember that the hardware is still there if you pay for the service or not. When you call up to tell them you want to pay for OnStar, who do you think turns it on? The same people who put it in the car in the first place. So, if your paying for it or not, if they want to turn it on and use it for whatever, they will.
Besides, no GM car lasts long in a pursuit or any hard use.
