Bioshock Infinite. Are you worried about it? Are you concerned that the staff leaving Irrational, pushed-back release dates (ETA currently running at March 26), and recruitment of Epic Games' Rod Fergusson means that Bioshock has lost its path? Well, so was I. But after playing the first three hours, I'm back on board. Here are seven reasons why.
1. Elizabeth
I was worried about Elizabeth. I was worried that she'd be an escort mission, a liability in the battlefield, badly acted, or overly sexualised. From my experience with the first three hours of the game, she's none of these things. Your introduction to her in the captivity of her tower is painfully human, and when she reacts to your presence with fearful aggression, her futile and casually deflected attempts to hit you with a book are heartbreaking.
But she quickly comes to terms with what needs to be done, and she's not a liability in the battlefield. She doesn't get knocked down, or require reviving. She is actively helpful, scouting the map for ammo and tossing it to you when you need it. Out of combat, she'll find money and give it to you. Then there's her odd world-tearing business, that lets her pull things from slightly different universes where the main difference is that there's, erm, a massive gun turret in the middle of the room.
Elizabeth is extremely well-written and acted. Her transformation from horrified naive to ammo-tossing battle-assistant might be slightly too fast, but this is an action game, and if she spent the battles screaming "oh God, we're being so naughty" that'd be even worse.
2. Combat
The Vigors of Bioshock Infinite have a subtly different feel to the Plasmids of Bioshock. Murder of Crows and Devil's Kiss are both area of effect, which suits the larger combat arenas. All of the Vigors can be transformed into traps, by holding the left trigger to place them, instead of firing them. Bucking Bronco, which tosses enemies into the air, incapacitating them and leaving them prone, is particularly useful against single strong enemies. If you're feeling creative, you can send a Murder of Crows through a Devil's Kiss trap to create a flock of flaming crows. It's like a heavy metal stage show.
Leaping onto and off the SkyHook system is easy - a tap of the A button lands you on it, and another tap, correctly aimed, will land a lethal knockback blow onto any guard underneath you. As well as navigating, it's a quick way of maneuvering around the larger battle arenas.
Salt (Infinite's version of Eve) is meted out more gingerly. You don't carry up to nine Eve syringes - you just have a single bar of health and salt, and if they're full, there's no more to be had. This lets the game be more generous with the top-ups, and oddly, made me more inclined to use my Vigors. There was something about hoarding nine Eve syringes that made me more reluctant to use them. With just a single bar, you're encouraged to fight in the moment, and use everything you have.
Minor improvements - Vita Chambers have been replaced with Elizabeth dragging you somewhere safe and reviving you, and while you're out, the enemies regain health, too. You can't just chip away at the bosses, this time. There's also a third bar that compensates for the lack of carryable health kits - a regenerating shield that offers some hope of survival to the dangerously low in health.

Laila Ali Appointed Spokesperson For Kids' Healthy Mouths Campaign By The Partnership For Healthy Mouths, Healthy Lives And The Ad Council
NEW YORK, April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Laila Ali, athlete, health advocate and mom, has been announced as the new campaign spokesperson for the Kids' Healthy Mouths public service advertising (PSA) campaign. The campaign, developed by the Ad Council and a coalition of more than 35 leading dental organizations (The Partnership for Healthy Mouths, Healthy Lives), sheds light on the importance of children brushing their teeth – a basic task yet constant struggle for many parents.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130403/NY88091 )
Dental decay is the most common chronic childhood disease with more than 16 million kids suffering from untreated tooth decay in the U.S. Launched in August 2012, the English and Spanish-language multimedia campaign jokes about the silly things children spend their time doing when they could take 2 minutes, twice a day to brush their teeth.
"Not only can poor dental health affect children's overall health, it also can lead to significant school hours missed," said Gary Price of the Partnership for Healthy Mouths, Health Lives. "We are so pleased to have Laila on board to help elevate the importance of kids' oral health among parents and caregivers so that we can get more kids brushing properly, resulting in fewer cavities and oral pain."
Through a series of social media and public relations efforts, Laila Ali will extend our "Tooth To-Dos" to parents nationwide. These oral health tips include the following: 1. Make sure your kids brush with fluoride toothpaste for 2 minutes, twice a day.- Use a pea-sized dab of fluoride toothpaste for kids ages 2 to 6, and use slightly more when they're older. Teach them to spit out the toothpaste when they're done so they don't swallow it.
- For kids younger than age 2, use a soft toothbrush and a little water; no toothpaste is necessary.

Stay Cool With Your Own Personal Ice Maker: Home, Commercial & Portable
Ice makers work using a system that takes warm air out of the freezing machine, allowing the water inside to condense into a solid. These days, it is common to see refrigerators that automatically make and crush ice, but for those who need to have a larger supply of ice, a purpose built ice machine may be what they require.
There is a variety of types of ice makers you can choose from, but they mostly break down into three main distinctions: residential, commercial and portable. Residential ice makers are much smaller and produce a good amount of ice. They are perfect for ice addicts or for people who entertain large parties of friends who all enjoy cold beverages. Commercial ice machines are much larger, produce more ice, and freeze ice quicker. Hotels, restaurants, and other business that require drinkable ice depend on such machines to keep their customers happy. Portable ice machines are perfect for anyone on the go. The perfect appliance for traveling, camping trips, outdoor entertaining and pool parties.
In addition to these three main categories there are a few smaller categories of ice-related appliances you may be interested in. Other popular types of ice makers include commercial ice bins, ice crushers and a wide variety of accessories. Commercial ice bins can keep large supplies of pre-made ice cool and ready for use without freezing it into a solid chunk. Ice crushers are great for making specialty drinks and the popular summertime snow cones. All ice machines need to be cleaned occasionally or have parts replaced which is where the maintenance supplies come in handy.
A very important consideration when buying an ice maker is the desired shape of the ice. While crescent shaped ice is easy to manufacture, many people prefer pellet, flake, or cubed ice. The preference is largely because of appearance, but it also pertains to the mouth-feel of ice. Some brands have different settings of ice shape, but most of them produce one shape only. There are many well established brands that have perfected their ice making techniques and have manufactured the highest quality ice equipment possible.
For the best quality ice, it is crucial that you understand how to properly clean the machine itself and the filter the water so that the ice tastes clean and pure. We would recommend buying at least one or two replacement filters with your ice maker. This allows you be prepared before you need them.

I have black hair and used the colour 5A medium ash brown. I don't think that the colour I ended up with was the same as on the packaging, but that's to be expected when you have dark hair like mine. It did do a very good job of dying my black hair without bleach, and the colour isn't as ash brown as I expected, but still a very nice colour. The colour didn't wash out when I showered.
My only complaint is the smell. The smell was very strong, stronger than most home dye kits.

It won't give you the colour that shows on, or at the back of the box. not even close! I have medium ash brown hair and the only reason I dye my hair is because of my grey hairs. I just used an "ash" shade of this hair colour to dye my roots and now my roots has an awful copper/red shine, and it doesn't look "ash" brown at all! It has orange undertone:(
I am so upset, and recommend you not to use this product at all! Don't even try it or you would regret like me.

It's been about 2 months since the salon and my roots have grown about an inch. My hair was dark ash brown but my roots were black. I used the 7.5 medium ash blonde. I did the roots first and then the rest of my head. The whole process took up about an hour but this was not my first time dying my own hair so it may take longer for the first timers.
I am pleased with the results. The color matches what is on the box almost perfectly and my color is even all over. The damage was very minimal even though I went several shades lighter. I adore the big tube of conditioner that comes in the box.
I think this dye is a great value for what you get. I have very long hair so I used two boxes and they only cost $10 each. My color looks like it was done at a salon. Totally worth the $20.
I recently bought this in Paris Couture Iced Golden Brown 5CG. My hair is naturally a light auburn brown, but I have a lot of gray. My hair is very coarse, extremely thick, and tends to be dry. I am in LOVE with this color. It came out exactly like the front of the box, and is a beautiful light golden brown with some definite cooler tones. A bit messy/drippy, but not so bad I couldn't deal with it. I will definitely repurchase several boxes of this to keep in stock!

My hair is black and hard to dye (Asian hair), so when I saw a video on a L'Oreal hair dye and the youtuber used this brand with fantastic results, I decided to try it too. Usually I'll need a blonde hair dye to make my hair brown, but this time I chose the Light Natural Brown. First of all, when the developer and the color gel is mixed together, the chemical smell is horrific. My eyes stung and I had to keep my face away while mixing the dye. Revlon's $3 cheap dye never smelled this terrible. The dye is drippy but application process went relatively okay. After waiting for 35 minutes, I rinsed it out and used the conditioner. The results? ORANGE roots. I applied tips of my hair first and moved upwards, last on the roots, and this was how it turned out. It looked akin to the brassiness of 2-month-old dyed hair. The rest of my hair didn't hold the color at all. What a waste of 9 dollars.
I will go back to using blonde hair dyes from Revlon.
Two lippies because the conditioner is pretty good and there was a generous amount.
More reviews by justanotheraveragegirl
I had previously died my hair red, about four months prior to using this product. I bought a shade of brown, thinking it would look nice and was very close to my natural shade. However, I found it very messy to use and it had awfully strong fumes. Also my hair turned out a very dark purple, even though I followed all of the directions and it turned out the right colour in the sample test. After a week it still drips colour whenever it gets wet.
I would not buy preference again. about 10 min into dyeing my hair I felt sick and had to dye my hair outside because of its strong smell. It was also very drippy and made a mess. The color in the end was very close to how I wanted it, I got a medium brown but has golden tones from my previous color.
More reviews by wildcardinside
I'm so happy with this hair dye. My hair colour is naturally a medium brown with strong golden copper undertones in it.
I have dyed my hair both semi permanent and non perm. red, about 6 or 7 times now in the last few years and I have never been impressed with any of the results. I always opted for auburns or mahoganys because I was afraid of the pure intense reds, yet every single time my hair turned out 6 shades darker than what it is and I just don't want that. I wanted my hair to be a lot redder, but without darkening the brown intensely. This time I decided I wanted a more copper toned red so I went for number 150 which is "intense amber auburn" and I'm so pleased I did. My hair is around the same shade as before in regards to darkness, of course slightly darker but not too noticeable, and has a really noticeable coppery red tone to it now. The dye comes with a special oil you are supposed to add to the dye to assist in keeping hair hydrated. Finally pleased with a hair dye I have bought :)

I just used this in Soft Black over hendigoed hair as I seemed to have developed a rash on my neck from the indigo (I've used pure body art quality no additive henna many times so I know it was the indigo). Anywho, it was premixed together in the form of Light Mountain henna brand - only 2 ingredients were indigo, henna - no metallic salts or anything. You can use ANY chemical over PURE henna (except when you BLEACH indigo it turns green) no matter what they tell you in beauty school - they are talking about dangerous compound hennas that are readily available in like health food/beauty stores and contain metallic salts - the real stuff u usually have to order online)). I kind of unevenly applied it and parts of my hair looked black, parts brown. So I was scoping out black dyes and I decided to go with this for my first one, since I used to use it in Intense Red Copper last year all the time and it was great. Although I chose soft black, the color is JET BLACK. I love it!!! I know from the red colors that this line does not fade. When I was using the red copper, it was able to lift my dark brown hair and make it truly gloriously red with minimal damage. Plus, I used Feria over it, bleached over it, hennaed/indigoed over it, all to no ill effects (lucky me I know). I am used to using drying herbs on my head lately, and when i rinsed this dye (which was a breeze, didnt stain anything, skin stains came off easily w coconut oil and body wash in shower), it actually SOFTENED my hair!!! And that's before using the conditioner (which is wonderful)! Oh and if you're wondering the Soft Black uses a 20 volume developer; I'm not sure on the intense red copper as I didn't know about developers back then and wasn't checking. It says it right on the bottle. I left the black on for the prescribed 25 minutes. If I had one complaint is that it was a little liquidy and wouldn't pile on top of my head I had to use clips. I didn't cover or apply heat or anything. But, the coloring agent you pour into the developer is a liquid not a squeeze tube of cream like some brands. I would recommend this line. Next time, though, I am going w the Excellence line in Intense Blue Black as I think that sounds exciting. Haha. Plus it got better reviews than Preference, although Preference has won the Allure beauty awards like 4 yrs in a row. If you know you're going to use a loreal color the website has a fun shade quiz to get you some recommendations. Although my last bout with black was Feria Starry Nights, I had short hair I was cutting all the time and ppl say it's very damaging. Plus I don't see a difference in the color payoff. Try the Preference... There is a reason it won the home color award for 4 years! Happy hair coloring.
Just finished using light ash brown (6A) it comes out like a medium chocolate color, I can still some brassy parts but overall did a good job, hair is soft and shiny and I hope that I get at least one month out of this dye, had great luck with Colorsilk in light ash brown and it was wearing like iron but it was time to color my roots, Colorsilk comes a true dark ash brown and I wanted one step lighter hair for summer.
My scalp got a little irritated, left the product on for 30 minutes, next time I will probably will go with 25 minutes.
I had to recolor because the more I washed it the lighter and redder it got.

(Un)Guilty Pleasure of the Day: Soludos x Opening Ceremony Espadrilles
We're loving the easy, it's-always-Summer-somewhere vibe of espadrille brand Soludos. Soludos took one style, the flat espadrille, made some improvements (like a rubber base on the jute sole in the unlikely case it rains on your beach day), produced them in tons of bold colors and patterns, and sells them at a price that makes it not unreasonable to buy three pairs. The best part? Soludos just partnered with Opening Ceremony, a sign of its fashion street cred, on a series of espadrilles in bold prints. The best best part? They're $35--shop them now.

"Loved this recipe! I cut the sugar in half, otherwise I kept everything else the same. I use skin-on salmon and only seasoned the top of the fillets. Nice and smoky with just a hint of sweet. This one's a keeper in my book!"
"Absolutely fantastic recipe! I haven't had a loosemeat sandwich since I was a kid, but a strange and elusive yearning for one came over me recently. I decided to chance it and introduce them to my husband and son. It was a risky move, as they hate sloppy joes (as do I) and are a tough crowd to woo. However, my husband took one bit, looked amazed a..."
"I have been looking a long time for my granny's Salisbury steak recipe. I am happy to say this tastes like it to me! I did not have Worcestershire and subbed A1. I also added a tablespoon of A1 to the gravy like my granny always did. We loved it!!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe."
"WOW, loved these!! I am not a big pancake fan, but I had leftover blueberries and a son that loves pancakes, so we decided to make this recipe. Incredible pancakes, tender and not overly fluffy and the blueberries were just perfect. I loved them, it just shocked me that there were pancakes I liked! I have a new pancake recipe and my family is dema..."
"This was a hit! I couldn't find fenugreek, so I had to substitute the same amount of ground mustard. Great flavor, wonderful with homemade injera. Two thumbs up!"
"This worked perfectly for me! I also had to spray my pan with cooking spray, but they turned out great. I was shocked I could get proper texture and almost authentic taste, as I was told you needed special equipment. This is a great recipe!"
"I loved this recipe but I had to adjust it for what I had. I used 3 cups canned chickpeas, unsalted and unroasted sunflower seeds, and I boiled the seeds in enough water to cover. I then drained them and pureed with enough water to make a paste before adding the rest of the ingredients. We loved it!! Perfect for Ethiopian cuisine night."
"Wonderful! I had to substitute canola for the grapeseed oil and red onion for the white, still was phenomenal! I used the jalape�o and really enjoyed the taste. I also had this at Maskerem and think your recipe trumps it! Thanks for sharing it!"
"Loved, loved, loved this recipe!! My family raved about it. I made no changes, I used Russet potatoes and I ended up cooking it about an hour at 325 and then upped it to 350 for another half an hour. I kept it covered until the last 5 min, took the lid off and broiled it a little to crisp it up. It was just gorgeous and the potatoes were awesome. ..."

The Indianapolis 500 is the world's largest single-day sporting event. Approximately 400,000 fans will crowd the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend to watch "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" at the 2.5-mile oval track. While drivers average speeds well in excess of 150 miles per hour, sometimes the race comes down to the final lap. Here are the 10 best Indy 500 finishes of all-time:

UPDATE 2:25 p.m. EST: The suspects' names are Azamat Tazhayakov, Dias Kadyrbayev and Robel Phillipos. From The Boston Globe:
Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, both 19 and of New Bedford, were charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice by plotting to dispose of a laptop computer and a backpack containing fireworks belonging to bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the US attorney's office said in a statement.
Robel Phillipos, 19, of Cambridge was charged with making false statements to law enforcement officials in a terorism investigation, prosecutors said.
12:10 p.m. EST: According to Boston.com, the three suspects went to school at UMass-Dartmouth with Dzhokar Tsarnaev and may have helped him in the days immediately following the bombing, which was on April 15. Two of the suspects have been charged with overstaying their student visas.
The Boston Police Department announced that it has taken into custody three new suspects as a result of its ongoing investigation into the Boston Marathon bombing.
David Henneberry became an unlikely hero in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings. Now, the public can give him a big "thank you."
The second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing has been captured. Dzokhar Tsarnaev was taken into police custody Friday night -- five days after the bombing that left three dead and left more than 100 injured, police said. The 19-year-old was apprehended after a manhunt that began Thursday night with the fatal shooting of an MIT officer and extended into the evening hours on Friday.

DeBlog: Can't We Reuse Old Sandbags?
It is by far the number one Good Question people are sending to us over the past couple weeks. "What do they do with sandbags after they're done?"
Saving Stillwater From The Floods

text: For Young Adults, Appearance Matters More than Health, MU Research SuggestsAugust 14, 2012"During our focus group conversations, we learned that young people don't think about nutrition when it comes to eating," Len-Ríos said. "They think more about calorie-counting, which isn't necessarily related to a balanced diet." The focus groups included college-age women, college-age men and mothers of college-age women, who discussed how body image is associated with engaging in restrictive diets, irregular sleep patterns and over-exercising. "We receive so many conflicting media messages from news reports and advertising about how we should eat, how we should live and how we should look," Len-Ríos said. "Some participants said they realize images of models are digitally enhanced, but it doesn't necessarily keep them from wanting to achieve these unattainable figures-this is because they see how society rewards women for 'looking good.'" The researchers also completed in-depth interviews with nutritional counselors who said lack of time and unhealthy food environments can keep college-age students from getting good nutrition. "Eating well takes time, and, according to health professionals, college students are overscheduled and don't have enough time to cook something properly or might not know how to prepare something healthful," Len-Ríos said. Based on the focus group conversations and interviews, Carlia Francis, an MU theater doctoral student and playwright, developed "Nutrition 101," a play about women's body images. During performances, characters divulge their insecurities about their own bodies, disparage other women's bodies and talk about nutrition choices. After a short, scripted performance, the actors remain in character, and audience members ask the characters questions. "When you're developing something for interactive theater, focus groups and in-depth interviews are great at getting at stories," Len-Ríos said. "Many of the stories used in the interactive play-like valuing people because of their appearance and not their personal qualities or abilities-came from individuals' personal experiences." Burgoyne says the play helps facilitate dialogues about nutrition, media messages and self-awareness. "Body image is a sensitive topic, and the play helps open discussions about how individuals view themselves and how media messages influence their self-images," Burgoyne said. "An easy way to improve individuals' body images does not exist, but hopefully, the conversations that arise from the performances will help develop ways to counteract the images that the media promote." MU student actors debuted the play last spring, and Burgoyne said performances will resume during the upcoming fall semester. The study, "Confronting Contradictory Media Messages about Body Image and Nutrition: Implications for Public Health," was presented earlier this month at the annual Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Conference in Chicago. The project is part of Mizzou Advantage's food for the future initiative. Mizzou Advantage was created to increase MU's visibility, impact and stature in higher education locally, statewide, nationally and around the world. Mizzou Advantage is a program that focuses on four areas of strength: food for the future, media of the future, one health/one medicine and sustainable energy. The goals of Mizzou Advantage are to strengthen existing faculty networks, create new networks and propel Mizzou's research, instruction and other activities to the next level. Additional funding for script development and performances came from the MU Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs.

Unreliable, would not recommend it
Accelerator cable is causing problems.
Bushings worn.
Interior of car is getting raggy.
There is only room for 5 digits on the mile clock, e.g. it now clocks at 66000 miles, but it could be 166000 miles as there is no space for front digit.

Haven't had the car that long and the previous owner would not have driven far in it but it has given me considerable trouble since I bought it.
Cannot rely on it for long journeys.

For the new Sprinter coming to the U.S., the engine will be derated to 180 horsepower and 325 pound-feet maximum torque in deference to gearbox, cooling, and commercial-use requirements. A mainstay of Mercedes propulsion, the OM 642 is offered in everything from the Viano van to the flagship S-Class. In most of Europe, the ML diesel accounts for 80 percent of sales, over 95 percent in Austria. If the diesels meet with anything approaching similar success, it's possible the 4.0-liter twin-turbo 420 CDI might come stateside, where its 306 horsepower and 516 pound-feet would paint a comparison-test target on the Touareg TDI's doors.
Mercedes Powertrain senior manager Dr. Frank Duvinage notes that Mercedes-Benz's goal is to make gasoline engines as efficient as diesels and diesels as clean as gasoline. With the Blue-tec system applied on the E-Class, NOx is the only category in which the diesel's emissions remain higher than a gas engine's. But CO2 is considerably lower in the diesels.
In the future, the AdBlue system of urea injection will come to the utility family, pending certification as of press time. It won't be unproven technology, as it's already been used on 20,000 trucks, and refilling will be done at regular maintenance interval services.
Over 400 miles of highway passing, start/stop driving, cold starts, and 'wheeling, we never saw a wisp of smoke nor smelled diesel fuel. Good fuel and particulate filters go a long way to cleaner exhaust, but to be fair there was always a breeze during our stops.
The 320 CDI drives like a GL450 with less lunge when you hit the accelerator; boost feeds in progressively and smartly, urging you forward in a subdued rush of torque. At 65 mph, the engine turns around 1650 rpm, right in the sweet spot for towing torque and low consumption. Unless idling, it's as quiet as a current gas engine, and after many miles cruising at 50-65 mph, our co-driver rightly observed there's nothing to suggest it isn't gasoline powered, except for the exceptional 500-mile range.
European economy figures put a GL320 CDI at an average 9.8 liters/100 km, or roughly 24 mpg, about 30 percent better than the 4.6-liter gas engine with 110 more horsepower and 40 pound-feet less torque. The 4.6 will get to 60 almost two seconds earlier, yet on the road a 320 CDI, apart from losing the race across the crosswalk, has no trouble keeping up or towing a load.
Over fast, winding roads interspersed with long idle periods and low-gear trail driving, we managed to return 18.5 mpg, a four mpg gain over what a GL450 delivered in similar conditions and overall average speed. With reduced heavy-throttle application, no idling, and no trail use, we ran 20.5 in the diesel V-8, so a real-world number in the low to mid-20s sounds reasonable for a 320 CDI. With less weight and better aero respectively, the ML and R might improve slightly on that figure. In other applications, the diesel-price premium in a Mercedes-Benz runs about $1000. But since the GL comes standard with a V-8, it may be only the ML and R that get a price bump. In any event, Mercedes believes the time is right for a diesel-powered SUV lineup. Who are we to argue?

Building and Reaching A New Professional Image
Background Dilemma:
Marie contacted me when she had been seeking to transition to a more stable career. It was during the current financial crisis (2009) and not an easy thing to do during this time. However in our initial discussion I could tell some of immediate problems were finding direction for her new small business.
Marie has extensive experience and skills across several areas and this fortunate situation had a downfall. It made it difficult for her to see her way to a clear vision. Working with me via phone and remote computer, we quickly identified her goals, and began to chart a course to acheive those.
The need:
This was a terffic case of the ability being there, and the support of an insightful and empathetic coach to draw out them out from within the client was what was needed.
At thhis point, we continue to meet about every other week.
Marie has told me several times how her sessions with me moves her much more quickly through the process than when she works alone. From her perspective: The keys are the coach's experience and willingness to provide support, and my focus on building goal setting skills and accountability practices.

South Africa has a long tradition of budget travel; its hostels and budget options are among the best in the world. Some, though, are overrun with heterosexual gap-year travelers, and it's best to seek local advice. Zebra Crossing is perhaps Cape Town's quietest, most secluded option. Residential Tamboerskloof neighborhood is only a few blocks (uphill, though!) from Company's Gardens and the City Bowl. Double room about $16 a night with shared bath; hot breakfast is another $5. Doubles with private bath $19. Through a listing on the notice board, I arranged morning coffee and a tour with a landscape architect at the nearby Mount Nelson for R35 (about $6) -- an even more amazing experience than that hotel's famous, recession-busting afternoon teas.

Packaging and the Drobo 5D
The Drobo 5D comes in a rather attractive package, but at the same time it's simple and sleek. The front of the box shows the Drobo itself with logos adorning the exterior.
The backside of the box highlights many of the features of the Drobo.
Upon opening the packaging, we were greeted by the accessories box.
The Drobo 5D comes with a full host of accessories, some of the included good are the Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 cables, the power brick and reading materials.
The power supply is made by FSP with an output of 12v @ 12.5 amps.
Pulling the Drobo out of the box, the experience and excitement grew seeing the 5D packaged further into a nice carrying bag.
The front of the Drobo stealth's the drive bays behind, along the bottom you will find a series of LEDs.
The backside of the Drobo 5D houses a massive 120mm cooling fan, below this we find the dual Thunderbolt ports, USB 3.0 port and power and switch.
On the backside of the front bay door, the fine folks over at Drobo have included a layout or legend in regards to the drive bay LEDs.
Internally, the Drobo houses a custom motherboard. In the center of all of this is the CPU Marvell Armada that operates at 1.6GHz. Towards the top is the DOM that houses OS firmware and to the bottom the Thunderbolt PCB is on a daughterboard. Having the Thunderbolt I/O on a separate daughterboard should allow Drobo to upgrade to and release a Thunderbolt 2 spec sooner.
The Drobo 5D supports a single mSATA SSD on the bottom of the PCB. This is also accessible from the bottom of the enclosure.

Eminem Joins Rihanna Onstage for Surprise Duet (VIDEO)
Concertgoers at Rihanna's Staples Center show in Los Angeles last night got a special surprise bonus, as rapper Eminem joined her onstage to perform their collaboration "Love the Way You Lie," from Eminem's recently released Recovery album.
The "My Name Is" rhymer and the "Rude Boy" chanteuse have been spending a lot of time together lately; this week the pair have been filming the video for the song in Los Angeles, under the direction of helmsman Joseph Kahn (who lensed Britney Spears' "Toxic" video, among others). According to reports, former Transformers beauty Megan Fox and Lost actor Dominic Monaghan may also appear in the video for "some rather steamy sequences," and Ri-Ri and Eminem perform together in front of a burning house.
Sounds like it will be epic. In the meantime, watch the music world's newest power duo burn down the house at the Staples Center in the video below:

The house I bought has 2 azeleas in a slighly raised bed on the side of the house. I think they are fairly standard varieties, one pink and one white. Unfortunately, the bed is 10 feet from a Japanese maple.
At the epresent time, there are numerous maple saplings in the bed, including one that's 6-7 feet high. In addition, there is some other weed tree in there that is also around 7 feet high. There is also poison ivy in there which makes everything even more difficult. I can hire someone to pull the poison ivy, but how can I get rid of the trees in there. Or should I just kill everything with round up and start from scratch? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Pulling poison ivy doesn't accomplish much since it spreads by root runners that create new plants and new roots. It starts from seed. You should look around and see if there is a poison ivy plant running up a nearby tree and spreading seed around the area. if so, cut the stem at the base to kill what is blooming in the tree. If not, it is the birds eating the berries on a nearby plant and spreading the seed. I would use roundup on the poison ivy, the original Glyphosate only kind, not the newer ones with strong herbicides added. You can cut unwanted trees off and paint the stump with pure undiluted roundup. Roundup must always be used when there is no wind and with a somewhat course spray that won't drift. Low pressure creates the best spray. If necessary roundup can be applied with a cotton glove worn over a rubber glove. Then the cotton glove is moistened with roundup and wiped onto the poison ivy foliage. |
Thanks so much for this info. When you say to paint the stump with undiluted Round-up, do you mean the concentrate? I'll use the same method to kill off some saplings that are in the pachysandra that surrounds my birch trees. |
Yes, the concentrate. |

Film Festival
The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Community Welfare Unit and the Nirmaan-Goa jointly organize the Inaugural Ceremony of the We Care Film Festival at 11 am on 20th January 2015 (Tuesday) at our campus auditorium. Award winning films of 1/2/3/15 minute duration on disability issues will be screened followed by a cultural program.
About WE CARE FILM FESTIVAL
Brotherhood, an NGO, founded the We Care Film Festival in 2003. UNESCO and UN Information Centre for India and Bhutan (UNIC) came on board as founding partners of this pioneering film festival along with the Government of India's National Trust. The We Care Film Festival encourages universal participation and seeks entries of short films and documentaries on disability issues from all over the world.
Recently, We Care Film Festival was the chosen partner of the UNESCO's Unique International Conference "From Exclusion to Empowerment: The Role of ICTs for People with Disabilities which was held from 24-26 November 2014 at VigyanBhawan, New Delhi. During the concluding session a lots of participants from across the globe appreciated the efforts of the film festival and recommended that We Care Film Festival should be an integral part of the above said conference in future also. This was noted and included in the Outcome document of UNESCO International Conference.
The film festival's efforts underline the UN's commitment to inclusion – in both development and human rights perspectives and that is why We Care Film Festival will be a powerful platform for the UNIC as they have embraced the next International Decade for Persons with Disabilities by the UN for the period 2013-2022.
The WE CARE Film Festival is held annually to raise awareness about disability issues, dispel misconceptions and prejudices about persons with disabilities, drive attitudinal and behavior change and foster their integration into society. The Festival aims to promote a rights-based approach to people with disabilities that treats them as people first and focuses on abilities and positives rather than disabilities.
The We Care Film Festival is a pioneering effort initiated in 2003 by Brotherhood, an NGO working on bringing disability issues into mainstream human rights discourse. Since then it has travelled extensively through India, covering more than a 114 venues. It has also taken its message overseas and has been showcased in more than a dozen countries.
Since its inception, the We Care Film Festival has become a leading ambassador for raising awareness on the rights of persons with disability across the globe and is a beacon for promoting a positive attitude towards disability. It also acts as a vehicle in bringing disability issues to the fore amongst advocacy bodies, government agencies, civil society and specifically the youth, affecting both institutional and grassroots level attitudinal and behavioural change.
This annual international travelling and educational film festival of shorts films and documentaries on disability issues is showcased at universities, educational institutions and schools and aims sensitizing and engaging youth in the disability sector on the one hand, and instilling confidence in persons with disability on the other.
The We Care Film Festival archive has a repository of more than 650 short films and documentaries out of which 90 are award winning. These have been showcased to a large global audience:-

OK, we'll disenfranchise the folks who work for ethanol producers? The industry wouldn't exist without subsidies.
As I said, it is sometimes hard to tell parasite from host from commensal.
You are talking about wanting to take the vote from poor people solely because they are poor. The strategy been tried before in the form of a poll tax and found wanting.
As for the other "originalist' ideals you speak of, how about we go back to having senators elected by legislatures or appointed by governors as originally intended; I could get talked into that idea. Do you really want electors selected by legislators instead of by popular vote? Again, I could get talked into that idea, if only because what we are doing now ain't working well.

Roger spent many years working in the Gulf countries. In 2009, after his return to Lebanon, he launched his artistic career, exhibiting oil paintings in France and Lebanon, writing philosophical and academic books and composing and performing pop songs.
Roger wrote "Numen Lumen", a book which won the first prize in the religion category of the 2011 International Book Awards competition.[1] The book comprises three parts: 'Sagas', a highlighted look at his most emotional moments in life, 'Soliloquies', a series of different topics where most often he meditates his way to faith, and 'On God and Philosophy' which summarizes the main divisions of philosophy and sets God as a priority in each one of them.[2] In addition to publishing articles,[3] Roger is also a writer of academic books in the fields of business and education (CRM and Customer Data,[4] HRM and Best Practices,[5] ICT as Change Agent in Higher Education[6]) and Engineering (Documents de Risque de Projet pour une Centrale Eolienne).

His collaboration with Amale Tomb on an Arabic-English duet called "Merry Christmas" proved great success and was aired on Lebanese TV stations during the Christmas season. Soon after, he composed "Mom", an emotive song which was performed with Katia Harb, and which portrayed the female diva for the first time as an opera singer.

alex's pic.. clearly shows.. on an established plant... it annual vertical growth rate in his garden.. what looks like at least 18 inches ... perhaps even 24 .... and its horizontal growth rate of 6 to 8 ... it should be easy to multiply for the decades if you wish ... skirts.. unlike leaders can be GUIDED into shape and form ... with a little selected pruning ... ken |
Thanks to all who replied. Your pictures are wonderful Alex and very helpful. We are having the original foundation plants removed this fall and I am looking at what is in my yard that I might want to move as we replant but don't want to regret doing so several years from now. |
