by John Pollard Big bass in a tight space Rockford Fosgate's Prime Series R2S-1X12 shallow sub enclosure lets you have big bass in your vehicle without taking up too much space. Coming in at 5-1/4" deep, this box was made with the regular cab truck owner in mind. Rockford Fosgate built each enclosure with 5/8" thick medium-density fiberboard protected by rugged black carpeting so they're tough too. Powerful woofer The enclosure comes loaded with one Prime R2SD4 sub that handles up to 250 watts RMS, wired for 2-ohm impedance. The sub features a mica-injected polypropylene cone with a poly-foam surround for accurate bass that you can feel. Product Highlights:sealed truck-style enclosure with one 12" Prime subwoofer5/8" medium density fiberboard construction covered with heavy-duty carpet2-ohm total impedancepower handling: 100-250 watts RMS (500 watts peak power)frequency response: 29-250 Hzsensitivity: 85 dB27-1/4"W x 13-1/2"H x 5-1/4"D1 x 3-3/8"D2warranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guarantee Enclosed Subwoofers 101 An enclosed subwoofer is a box with a subwoofer already installed. The advantage to buying an enclosed sub is that the manufacturer made the sub, then designed and built the box as a perfect match, so you'll get the best possible performance. Every enclosed sub has a maximum RMS power handling rating, so pair it with an amp with a similar RMS power rating to get the best performance.
Quality Written By Zack, Merced California on Saturday, January 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Very reasonable priced already enclosed subwoofer. No, it's not the hardest hitting bass available, but it definitely puts a nice clean sound throughout my single cab f150 Pros: Thin profile box, already enclosed, very clean sound especially when the volume is higher than normal listening level. Cons: Could hit harder if I had to choose a con.
satisfied Written By CraigM, Hartford, Michigan on Saturday, July 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Pretty good unit for the price. Sounds good using a Kenwood 600 watt amp. I don't like it quite as well as the Kenwood that I replaced due to size limitations in a new vehicle, but it will do. Sound is very "tight" and I like that but maybe a little too tight.
Works for me Written By N, Denver, CO on Saturday, May 11, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value It took a bit of cutting and hacking to remove the jack mounts from behind the seats (I used a hacksaw to cut it to roughly 1/6 inch then a grinder to grind it down to be level with the truck, I used a crowbar to pull out the riveted mounts), along with pulling out the back carpet (just pull out both plastic pegs and bend it in the middle to get it out), but once I did this box fit in my '96 Single-cab Ranger. It's quite a tight fit, but it sounds good. It did lower the available space in the cab a bit, but not significantly. I'm quite happy with the audio quality of the subwoofer, and the fact that it's a 12" that fits in a tiny truck cab. Just to note, there is literally no space between the seat and the sub box. The sub box holds the seats in roughly a straight up position and the seats have to be pushed to latch upright. In hindsight I wish I would've gone with the 10" for my truck, but this one did fit and it does sound awesome. Pros: Fits in my truck Cons: Still a little big, wish I would've gone with a 10".

Klaatu: I'm impatient with stupidity. My people have learned to live without it.
Mr. Harley: I'm afraid my people haven't. I'm very sorry. I wish it were otherwise. Facts burns! Facts burns us! Numbers freezes! Nasty liberals twisted it. Take it off us! - deliberate misquote while arguing factoids about healthcare cost inflation. You may be born stupid, but ignorance is a choice - personal observation. Who need drugs when you can have fatigue toxins and caffeine. - Keith D., law enforcement |
I don't buy meat at either club - I'm a member of both BTW - because I find much better deals at the local supermarket when on sale. Once, I bought some ground beef at Costco and it was bad, nearly spoiled. When I went to return it, they didn't give me a hassle, but note that if you have to return meat to Sam's, they will give you double the amount you paid to compensate you for your trouble. Costco will not do this. True Facts: The chances of you dying on the way to get your lottery tickets is greater than your chances of winning
Bananas are 3lb/$1.00 at my local store this week, and nearly every week at a different store. Romaine lettuce is 3/$1.00 almost every week at the local Super King store, and it's organic. Their prices BLOW away all the warehouse stores. That's just two of many examples. I stopped eating at the food court at the warehouse stores because I realized I didn't need it - and it was only making me fatter. I haven't eaten in their food court in over a year now. |
As someone who just got into making steaks very recently. I found we already have a huge cast-iron pan (doesn't seem enameled) - also has grill lines. I followed instructions online to preheat oven to 500F and put cast iron on stove (high), preheat the pan - then cook the steak on each side for 1-2 minutes. Then move the pan into the oven and cook an additional 3-5 minutes. Then take the steak out of the oven, remove from pan and cover loosely in foil, and wait 5-10 minutes.
I love a good steak (from a quality steak restaurant). But haven't been able to replicate at home.. that recipe doesn't seem to give me the color I want, I'm likely boiling/steaming juices away. So, A. what am I doing wrong? B. will this cast-iron pan solve my problems? |
He also described Costco as no questions asked and no hassle, which has also been my experience. Sam's Club, however, can be full of questions and far from hassle free. At $2.99 a pound for ground beef that is not pink slime, I have been very happy at Costco. I do sometimes find better deals with BOGO or coupons, but Costco beats everyone's everyday prices in my area on ground beef and chicken. Sam's Club, though, always seems to have great prices on ribs. Generally, Sam's has more variety and choices. However, I like the wine and cheese selection and variety at Costco much more. At the end of the day, I really prefer Costco. But, to each his own. I'm not a member of the club BJ's, but I have enjoyed BJ's from time to time. |
If you're already using a non-enameled cast iron pan, I don't think buying this will necessarily fix your problems. I think if you simply cook the steak a longer on each side...until you get the desired color, that should solve the issue. You will obviously have to adjust the amount of time you broil the steak afterward. I will sometimes use peanut or coconut oil in the pan to help with the coloring/texture. A problem could be that your stove may not get hot enough for the initial searing. Try cooking a nice ribeye, it should give off enough fat to give you a nice texture and they are harder to overcook. |
y not grill it? |
The few times I've returned something at Sam's, I've never had a hassle or problem. They certainly weren't "full of questions" other than asking, naturally, if there was anything wrong with the item (which Costco will also ask). I don't know what happened in your case, but I've never had an issue returning anything at either store. I do agree with you about the wine and cheese selection at Costco, it's far superior to Sam's, which has a very limited choice. There is, as you said, more variety of some items at Sam's but I haven't noticed a huge selection at either store of anything in particular. My own observation is that Sam's tends to have somewhat lower prices on most items in the store that are the same national brand as Costco carries. Other things are harder to compare if the brand isn't the same. One more thing to note, Sam's Club has a lower price for membership, although they raised it recently for the first time since 2006. I think it's now $45, still lower than Costco's $55. |
Le suck! Why the astericks that it was made in France? Who cares if it was made in France really? I prefer to see *Made in the USA" on this stuff. France hates America and are mostly arrogant MF'ers. Electronics, I prefer made in Japan.
Abomination is going to kill the working class in his pursuit of Universal Health Care. Someone has to pay for it and guess who that is? Most likely you, unless you are on welfare and food stamps (found out it is called EBT recently so not to embarass those that use it). If this reckless spending continues, our proud country will be United States of America (Republic of China).

I think the cast iron gets hot enough - I definitely also left it on the stove to preheat for ~15 minutes before putting the steak on. Problem is my steak came from the fridge, not room temp - so I'll try that. Also, the lines from the grill bars were very dark, it's the non-lined parts of the meat that were sadly uncolored. Maybe I should go for one without grill lines so the whole steak contacts the heat? |
I sure hope they expand. I like to look at their ads, even though, it's way to far away. "Bananas are 3lb/$1.00 at my local store this week, and nearly every week at a different store. Romaine lettuce is 3/$1.00 almost every week at the local Super King store, and it's organic. Their prices BLOW away all the warehouse stores. That's just two of many examples." |
Regarding Sam's Club vs Costco, I also have both. They are literally across the highway from one another for my closest locations. If I want rotisserie chicken (better seasoning than Costco), beer battered cod, frozen salmon patties, pizza (club made), hot dog or drink from the food court (much better than Costco), Provel, or Michael Angelo's frozen foods, I go to Sam's. If I want cheese slices, yogurt jalapeno dip (tastes like cheese), packaged turkey / chicken, deep dish pizza, potato chips, olive oil, dried cherries, Amylu's Sweet Caramelized Onion Chicken Burgers (the ones at Sam's can't begin to compare), Steak Strips (like beef jerky but won't try to tear your teeth out of your skull while eating but also need refrigerating within 3 days after opening), or chicken patties / nuggets I go to Costco. Costco also used to be my go to for things like rechargeable batteries (GREAT price) before they stopped carrying them. Lots of other items are depends who has them, prices, etc. In general, I find I use Costco way more than I use Sam's and if was choosing to have just one, would pick Costco. The employees are generally happier that I see, are treated better, the lines move faster, the prepared foods tend to be higher quality and with less preservatives, and they frequently get some really nice quality discount items (6 pairs of garden gloves for $5.99, best prices on Sanyo eneloops when they were carrying them , etc.). They also have nice deals on rental cars if you didn't know. |

text: The wife and I recently drove from Spring, TX (just north of Houston) to Hobbs, NM (just past the TX/NM border). I had my Stoeger Cougar 9mm in a CBST the entire ride, and I had absolutely no comfort issues. Southpaw here, so it was at about my 7:00 position. Other than the normal road weariness , I arrived devoid of back or hip pain. Just wanted to put another good word out there for Crossbreed. Also, on the way home we were stopped by a Hearne, TX LEO and everything went smoothly (aside from a speeding citation ). This was my first traffic stop while CC'ing, and I was a bit nervous at first, but I was put at ease once he became more friendly upon learning I CC. All in all, it was a great experience.

Life, one frame at a time. I'm Steve Green, and I make photographs. A lot of photographs. I would probably be best described as a shiny object kind of photographer, because I am fascinated by the world around me; the people, the places, the activity; everything is interesting.

On Sunday 18th May, around 30 guests attended the annual VFUA Life Members' dinner at the Mail Exchange Hotel in the city. The attendees, made up of VFUA life members and current VFUA executive, shared a meal and a drink to celebrate the contribution by those who have been recognised by their peers as having provided outstanding service to the association. After welcoming all in attendance, Vice President and host for the night, Daniel Butcher, thanked Judi Elliott for her ongoing support for the Association after she recently donated a magnificent Easter hamper raffled off at our first association meeting this year. Leigh Keen was also presented with his Courage Award, a reward that Leigh was nominated for in 2013 for his battles with cancer as well as recovering from extensive shoulder surgery. Leigh also happened to be the door prize winner of two medallion club tickets to an AFL match to see his beloved Demons. After dinner, the most recent inductees to life membership, Tristan Burgess, Michael Blair and Richard Mills were presented with their certificates and badges from President Steve Piperno. Damien Cusack was unable to attend. Each new life member then gave a unique insight into what umpiring and the VFUA meant to them.
It was pleasing to see such a well attended event and was a great opportunity for current executive members to mix and socialise with life members from all walks of the VFUA's history. Massive thanks to Daniel Butcher for organising and hosting such a successful event as well as all life members in attendance.

Interesting to note this is Andrew Talbot's second match involving an injured AFL colleague this year. Earlier in the year he replaced an injured Jason Armstong at Docklands. Stuart was one of the other field umpires that day.

On a balmy Sunday evening in late March, the VFUA held the Presidents' Dinner. The current VFUA Executive Committee hosted eight of the association's past presidents over a beautiful Docklands setting to recognise the contribution and influence these past leaders have had in making the VFUA what it is today.
The past presidents in attendance were Greg Russo (1998), Russell Davidson (1999), Steve Stirling (2000), Chris Snell (2001-02), Stephen Evans (2004-05), Rob Findlay (2006-07), Adam Wojcik (2008) and Richard Mills (2010-11), who shared their stories of their time as president along with some of their umpiring experiences. It was a fantastic opportunity to for the current executive members to surround themselves with these key VFUA figures and to recognise and appreciate the history of the Association.
Current VFUA President, Steve Piperno, provided a comprehensive update of the current environment of the VFUA, including the nature of the state league competitions, our relationship with AFL Victoria, the current fees and conditions and subsequent representation of the members and the position we hold in the football community. The past presidents also heard about the most recent initiatives and activities of the association and were pleased to hear about the planning, strategy and direction in place to ensure its continued strength.
Steve Stirling provided a response to the opening welcome on behalf of the presidents in attendance. Steve acknowledged the hard work of the Executive Committee and commended the leadership group on their great working relationships with AFL Victoria.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable night for those in attendance and we are already looking forward to the next Presidents' dinner in 2016!

Senior field take Mini-Olympics crown
The running of the 2014 Mini-Olympics proved yet another triumph for the Senior Field squad. Michael Curtis humbly accepted the plaque on behalf of the squad, thanking sponsors, organisers, PK, his mum…
It was a tight contest – for spots 2-5. The winning margin for Senior Field was 16.25 points. However it was all up for grabs going into the final event with three squads in the hunt. Not surprisingly the showpiece bouncing was dominated by the field and goalie squads. They won or tied four of the seven events. They were physical and robust in the soccer, strong through the sit-ups, and their egg-and-spoon skills were world class.Senior Boundary may need Leading Teams for next year's Olympics, having come last. Their performance in the relay was followed up by last place in the throw-ins.
The Mini-Olympics raised $1518 for the Cancer Council of Victoria. Receipts will be issued in the near future.
Pleasant Sunday afternoon
Just to give a quick summary on the Lawn Bowls. We had approximately 25 people in total. A little down on numbers but a great afternoon for those that attended. Even with small numbers, we still made a small profit of $30. Thanks for all that attended and for Steve helping out on the BBQ.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Microsoft Corp. plans to build another data center in Cheyenne, bringing its total investment in Wyoming's capital city to nearly $500 million.
Gov. Matt Mead on Friday announced the company's decision to start construction on the planned $274 million data center this spring. He said he's made growth of the state's technology sector a priority.
"Wyoming has so many comparative advantages for data centers," Mead said. "I have worked with the Legislature to position Wyoming as a competitive location for these high-valued projects."
Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft opened its first data center west of Cheyenne in late 2013. A company spokeswoman said she didn't have information immediately available on how many jobs the new center will provide.
Mead's office stated that Microsoft will purchase additional land in Cheyenne and plans to begin construction of the expansion in late spring 2014. The first stage of the new data center is estimated to be operational in summer 2015.
Brandon Marshall, business recruitment manager at the Wyoming Business Council in Cheyenne, said computer centers are a natural fit for the state as it works to diversify its economy.
"It not only is something that's clearly diverse and different from (what's) existed in the past in Wyoming, but it's also something that can take advantage of Wyoming's traditional place as an energy producer," Marshall said of data centers.
"Energy is really the most important piece of a data center," Marshall said. "Their highest use of anything is electricity, and that's something that Wyoming's always been very good at producing and actually producing at a low cost."
Marshall said Wyoming's cool climate helps keep costs down for data centers, which require cool conditions for computers to operate.
Dayne Sampson, corporate vice president for Microsoft's Global Foundation Services group, issued a written statement through Mead's office.
"Microsoft is excited to expand its data center operations in Cheyenne," Sampson said. "This will ensure the best possible delivery of cloud infrastructure and services to our current and future customers in Wyoming and the surrounding region."
Randy Bruns, chief executive officer of Cheyenne LEADS, a local economic development organization, said the group is pleased to have Microsoft in Cheyenne.
"In a short time, Microsoft has already become a good community partner and we are excited the company views Wyoming as a good location for its business to thrive and expand," Bruns said in a written statement from the governor's office.

Founders Memorial Library Exhibits - October/November 2014
"You Are What You Eat: Cookbooks as ingredients to shape identity and community"
The Regional History Center has a new exhibit on display in the first floor lobby of Founders Memorial Library featuring historical cookbooks,
recipes, and ephemera from its collections. Cookbooks and recipes often reveal more than just a list of ingredients. Ethnic recipes help preserve
a cultural heritage and demonstrate different cultures that exist in an area. Passing along a favorite family recipe helps keep the memory of
family members alive. The exhibit explores how cookbooks have created a sense of identity in the northern Illinois region. The exhibit, which
is being curated in conjunction with American Archives Month and the 50th anniversary of the University Archives, will be on display through
November 15, 2014.
Please join us Thursday, October 16 from 4:30 to 6:30 PM for the exhibit reception.

Special Projects/Initiatives
• Outdoor Amphitheater on Lone Star College-Montgomery campus. Built of a combination of cement, rock and natural materials. Approximately 75 seats. Adjacent stone seating, picnic areas, speakers, and lighting are also planned. Currently in the planning stages. The amphitheater will be used for classroom space, a student gathering space, and outdoor performances of all kinds. SP 2013-Ongoing • THE (Technology Highlighting Excellence) Initiatives. The initiatives are based on reclaiming underused or undesirable areas on campus and transforming them into collaborative spaces. THE Classroom is an instructional space that places a premium on space and student collaboration. Technology, furniture, space, and instructional approach are the cornerstones. Also included in this space is an imbedded area for professional development. It takes place inside the classroom. THE Lecture Hall is an instructional space that takes a larger class (75 students) and builds in tutoring, writing support, and supplemental instruction. THE Collaboration Space is a collaborative space for students and faculty. The space and equipment facilitate collaboration and innovation. THE Studio is a collaborative space for faculty to work together, learn from each other, show best practices, and inspire each other. FA 2012-Ongoing • Butterfly Garden on Lone Star College-Montgomery campus. Native, non-invasive species. Both nectar and host plants are featured. Large berm is reclaimed for student and faculty use. Partnership with Lone Star College-Montgomery Facilities. Project is ongoing. Groundbreaking in November of 2012 and completion in Spring 2013. Maintenance and care are ongoing efforts. SU 2012-Ongoing |
• Learning Networks: An alternative to learning communities. Currently, two themes: Fear and Horror & Futuristic. This initiative is faculty driven, interdisciplinary, and has more than one service-learning component. Students are also encouraged to participate in shared activities that help address some of the weaknesses found in the data from the most recent Community College Survey of Student Engagement. Additionally, faculty members from all four academic divisions participate. Focus is on "How can we better engage the students at Lone Star College-Montgomery?" To this end, data is being collected from several sources: LASSI pretest/posttest, affective pretest/posttest questions, SLOs for communication, SLOs for social responsibility, completion rates for students and how they compare to the rest of the college and system, and success rates for students and how they compare to the rest of the college and system. Planning started Summer 2011 with the first 16 sections offered during Spring 2012. SP 2013 had 20 instructors, 27 courses, and 31 sections. FA 2013 has 32 instructors, 21 different courses, and 40 unique sections. This projects to over 1,000 students. SU 2011-Ongoing |
• Shift in the focus of student projects. The idea was to incorporate assignments in my classes that force students to approach their work at a higher level than the norm. Rote, lower level classwork is tossed out in favor of higher levels of engagement. Students still have to master the course material. However, their products are of a higher level because of the emphasis on critical thinking, synthesis, and practical application of knowledge. In essence, elements of Bloom's Taxonomy and Vygotsky's Scaffolding are combined to help students achieve. Student products have been featured in newspaper articles, in the Writing Across the Curriculum Journal, in the online version of the WAC Journal, at the Communication Across the Curriculum Conference, and in Honors Day Presentations.

More common, though, are what Powell calls "passive-aggressive" drivers, also known as inattentive drivers or boneheads. "They're riding your tail," says Powell, "but they're not trying to push you out of the way. They're just not paying attention."
Deffenbacher has three categories. The most dangerous drivers are those who commit road rage. He calls those who inadvertantly do dangerous things "risky" drivers. The rest--the majority of drivers, he says--who simply get pissed off behind the wheel are "angry" drivers. "Clearly we need to reduce the most violent stuff," says Deffenbacher. "Even for the people who aren't putting other people at risk--I can be screaming and giving you the finger and still be a safe driver--that latter group, they may inflame another driver to a more aggressive exchange."
But all of this debate over semantics only seems to drive home the lack of hard data regarding road rage.
The country's only major study on aggressive driving was conducted in 1996 by Louis Mizel, the owner of a corporation that maintains crime report databases, for the American Automobile Association. The unscientific study culls data from, as Mizel notes, "30 major newspapers, reports from 16 police departments and insurance company claim reports."
His study found that between January 1, 1990, and September 1, 1996, there were 10,037 incidents of aggressive driving in the United States. The study defines aggressive driving more aggressively than most: "An incident in which an angry or impatient motorist or passenger intentionally injures or kills another motorist, passenger, or pedestrian, or attempts to kill another motorist, passenger, or pedestrian, in response to a traffic dispute, altercation or grievance."
The yearly incident total rose between 1990 and 1995, then dropped in 1996. At least 218 men, women and children were killed and another 12,610 people injured during that time.
Mizel offers a sampling of quotes explaining the mindset of drivers guilty of road rage. One driver accused of murdering another said, "He couldn't care less about the rest of us--he just kept blocking traffic." Another claimed, "I never would have shot him if he hadn't rear-ended me." And a teenager charged with killing a passenger in another car said, "We was dissed."
The study concludes that these "reasons" are actually triggers that unlock "some reservoir of anger, hostility or frustration." In other words, many aggressive drivers are already on the verge of dysfunction.
This past June, AAA released another study, this one gathered from a nationwide poll of 942 respondents. The survey found that one-fourth of Americans acknowledge that they engage in aggressive driving. With 180 million registered U.S. drivers, the study concludes, there are 45 million aggressive drivers out there. The most common forms of aggressive driving were speeding, expressing anger at other motorists, changing lanes excessively, tailgating and running red lights or stop signs.
The primary reason given for engaging in such activity? Running late and slow-moving traffic in the left lane.
Mike Matthews, 33, a pilot for a delivery company called Key Lime, was driving in the left lane on Quebec Street near the intersection with C-470, trying to pass a slow-moving car in front of him. But a driver in the right lane, in a red Eagle Talon, seemed to be deliberately blocking him, slowing down so Matthews couldn't move into the lane behind him, then speeding up to prevent Matthews from passing in front.
Finally Matthews got past the Talon and around and in front of the slow car. Then he moved into the left turn lane. That's when, he says, the Talon driver cut all the way over from the right lane to the turning lane and managed to beat all traffic to the intersection. Then the Talon stopped. "When the light turned green, he did nothing," Matthews says. "When the light turned red, he just jammed to the right."
Matthews, now peeved, did the same. He followed the Talon "four or five miles to his complex. He waited around the corner right for me at the cul-de-sac." Matthews says he pulled up to get the Talon's license plate number. The cars' windows rolled down.
"Is there a problem with my driving?" Matthews asked.
He recalls the Talon driver responded, "Yeah--if you got a problem, I'll kick your ass."
Both men stepped out of their cars and a fight broke out. Matthews says the other driver, identified in court records as nineteen-year-old Saif Ali Sultan, threw a rock that hit him in the leg. Then Matthews threw a rock and broke Sultan's tinted window. Sultan's cousins intervened to break up the fight and called the police, but, Matthews says, not before he knocked out some of Sultan's teeth. The police report says Sultan suffered only hip pain and a swollen eye.
Matthews was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct/fighting in public and third-degree assault. A restraining order against him was issued on August 19, and a pre-trial hearing took place last week. Sultan and his family have since moved away, says a neighbor who saw the fracas, and his whereabouts are unknown. Dee Demers, a Douglas County deputy DA who is handling the case, refused to comment.
Matthews says he was just trying to get Sultan's plates when things escalated. "It's harder to drive down the road and focus on the road," Matthews complains. "People are just assholes. I know it sounds childish, but he started it."


text: We are planning an event to engage key stage 3 students in science activities throughout the week. We will be running small science workshops. In one of these workshops, students will get hands on experience of designing, making and flying rockets. In the other workshops, students will be carrying out heart dissections and discussing how the human body works. We will also be running a short science quiz competition for years 7, 8 & 9.

Reiki and Pranic Healing In The Modern Times
None can dispute anothers claim and experience. Though Dr.Usuis Reiki is the oldest, recognized method, many additions have come in to existence. All of them have their own followers and believers. Karuna Reiki is one such example.
Usui Reiki2 symbols are three but for some there are twelve symbols. Variations and disputes are present in the field of Reiki but Pranic Healing is more regularized and streamlined. Both create positive energies and so never work negatively.
Reiki does not deplete the energy of a healer, as he is only a medium to direct the cosmic energy towards the person getting healed. Reiki has its own intelligence. Even if we dont know which part of the body needs supplement of energy, it acts on its own and flows to the part that needs it the most. Intuition plays a major role in Reiki.
It is the intention of a Reiki healer, which is important. Once that is stated Reiki energy flows automatically, even without focusing. These concepts have no place in Pranic Healing.
Concepts and principles may vary but both have a place of their own. Adapting to one of the practices can immensely benefit mankind.
Most doctors do not believe in these natural healing methods and their thinking often is blinkered. A lot needs to be done and good scientific studies need to be carried out before Reiki and Pranic healing methods find their legitimate place as natural forms of healing science.

'16 and Pregnant' Season 2 Star Valerie Fairman: Her Turbulent Life After Reality TV
The Ashley likes to keep her readers up-to-date on what's happened to the participants of 16 and Pregnant since they appeared on the show. (Let's face it, we really shouldn't care, but we do!) While a lot of the girls have kept themselves in the limelight, some of the girls have seemingly fallen off the face of the Earth.
One of the girls that readers constantly ask about is Season 2 star Valerie Fairman. You might remember her for uttering one of the most famous lines in the show's history. On her episode, she was only 15 when she gave birth to a daughter named Nevaeh (that's heaven spelled backwards, y'all!) and was trying to get her baby-daddy Vanilla Ice Matt to like her.
After participating in the "Where Are They Now?" special a few years back, not much has been heard from Valerie, except for this little incident back in 2011, in which she was arrested for beating up her adoptive mother. (As you do.)
So what's happened to Valerie since then? The Ashley went digging for dirt and came up with a doozy!

- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 1/2 cups pomegranate juice (see Note)
- 1 cup añejo tequila
- 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 10 thin strips or slices of cucumber, for garnish
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water and simmer over high heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved; let cool completely.
- In a tall pitcher, combine the sugar syrup with the pomegranate juice, tequila and lime juice. Stir well, fill the pitcher with ice and stir again. Pour into 10 margarita, martini or cordial glasses, garnish each with a cucumber strip and serve.
To make fresh pomegranate juice, cut the pomegranates in half crosswise and use a citrus juicer, preferably a large one, to extract the juice. One large pomegranate yields 1/3 cup of juice, which can be frozen for up to 6 months.

Porteus KDE 3.1
Add it to your Download Basket!
Add it to your Watch List!
What's new in Porteus KDE 3.1:
- Linux kernel 3.17.4
- Kernel config: compiled support for FB_EFI, increased number of Aufs branches to 1024, added input drivers
- Porteus Installer: user must type 'ok' before MBR will be updated. This is to prevent installation made by accident on unwanted partition.
an update
- GPL (GNU General Public License)
- The Porteus Team
- www.porteus.org
- ROOT \ Linux Distributions
Porteus is a minimalistic and open source distribution of Linux that tries to be a community remix of Slax, an operating system based on Slackware Linux. It provides users with multiple editions, including a Kiosk flavor.
Distributed as 32-bit/64-bit Live CDs
This edition is distributed as two Live CD ISO images, one for each of the supported architectures (64-bit and 32-bit). It can be easily deployed on a USB flash drive (recommended) using the UNetbootin application, or written to a blank CD disc with a CD/DVD burning software.
Eye-candy boot menu
It features an eye-candy boot menu designed to allow users to copy the entire ISO image to RAM (requires at least 1GB of system memory) and run the operating system from there, ejecting the boot medium.
In addition, users can use the boot menu to start an existing operating system, run Porteus in text mode only, start a fresh session (the default boot option is persistent), initialize a PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) server, or access the PLoP boot manager.
Uses a stripped-down KDE4 session
The desktop environment used in this edition of Porteus is a stripped-down KDE4 session, comprised of a single taskbar at the bottom edge of the screen, from where users can launch their favorite apps, interact with the system tray area and active windows, or access the main menu.
Default applications
Default applications include the Qmmp audio player, SMPlayer video player, Mozilla Firefox web browser, Transmission BitTorrent client, uGet download manager, Gwenview image viewer, and the Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger.
Bottom line
During our tests, the distribution proved to boot very fast, supports several languages, features its own Software Center application that allows users to install, update or remove packages, and its very own dependency-resolving package manager.
Summing up, Porteus KDE is an unique Linux distribution that brings the attractive KDE4 desktop environment to low-end machines and computers with old hardware components. It also provides LXDE, Razor-Qt, Xfce, MATE and Kiosk editions.
Porteus KDE was reviewed by Marius Nestor, last updated on December 9th, 2014

Charles F. Wagner, better known as "Heinie," (September 23, 1880 — March 20, 1943) was a shortstop for the New York Giants and the Boston Red Sox. While not an exceptionally good fielder (he averaged 40 errors between 1908 and 1911), he was known to block the basepaths with his "exceptionally big" feet. He had career highs of .274, 68 RBI, and 75 runs scored for the World Champion 1912 Red Sox. After retiring he was a Red Sox coach from 1921until 1930, he was hired to replace two-time World Series winner Bill Carrigan as manager of the Sox, but he fared no better, leading Boston to a league-worst 52-102 (.338) record. He never managed again.
Wagner died in New Rochelle, New York at age 62.
He is mentioned in the book Honus & Me.

Down On TV Upfront Info? You've Got Someone To Blame
by Wayne Friedman on Apr 30, 12:00 PM
Marketplace information takes on weird value in unstable economies -- and the TV upfront marketplace is no exception. Media executives increasingly have questions about business stories on the key selling periods of TV advertising. Execs are worried that stories on the upfront market may be too revealing of specific deal points, or just plain wrong.

High Cost Of Programming Is One Problem; Racy Content, Another
by Wayne Friedman on Apr 29, 12:00 PM
A chill is coming over future TV productions -- and it isn't just the economy. Now the Supreme Court is piling on -- a victory for the Federal Communications Commission. The so-called "fleeting expletive" on broadcasts will now be subject to regulation and fines.

Online Video Growing -- But Very Slowly
by Wayne Friedman on Apr 28, 3:15 PM
The digital threat to traditional television still isn't coming anytime soon -- not in 2009, or 2010, or 2011. In three years, traditional TV will still be consumed "98 times" more than online video -- this from a new Magna forecast of online video. And, as everyone's knows, it's not just in consumption that traditional TV is leading; big brand advertisers aren't spending much with online video.

Upfront 2009: Script Getting More Flexible -- And It Hasn't Got An Ending Yet
by Wayne Friedman on Apr 27, 6:15 PM
Flexibility seems to be this year's upfront calling card for TV marketers. It's not just lower cost-per-thousand-viewer prices. Marketers increasingly want to come and go as they please with little penalty or premium, being able to fully adjust their TV commercial schedules.

Dumb TV Math: Supply And Demand Applies To All TV Media
by Wayne Friedman on Apr 24, 2:30 PM
Even those beneficiaries of the DVR-affected television world are complaining about weak TV advertising. Mark Burnett, creator of "The Apprentice," says network television advertising executives really don't understand branded entertainment/product placement. They don't get the full impact of what reality shows can do for marketers - and don't get firsthand intel about the process, he says. Reading between the lines: not enough branded entertainment money is coming Burnett's way, or that of his fellow reality TV producers.

'American Idol' Still Top Song Among TV Marketers -- If Not At Higher Dollar Note
by Wayne Friedman on Apr 23, 10:30 AM
Don't sing that old song about television viewer fragmentation; one of TV's biggest stars will have none of it. "American Idol"'s Simon Cowell doesn't buy the fact that all TV shows have to decline. Just look at the Super Bowl, he says. Both "Idol" and the Super Bowl are competition shows -- very much reality television. For the last two years, the Super Bowl has indeed bucked the trend, with record-setting overall viewer performances. All this has Cowell thinking -- why not "Idol"?

Changing Supply Of TV Ad Inventory: What Happens To Prices?
by Wayne Friedman on Apr 22, 12:31 PM
Will there be a widespread shortage of national commercial TV inventory for sale this upfront period? A broad range of TV sales executives -- from broadcast to cable to syndication -- are already toying with using the ultimate supply-and-demand sales tool: selling less inventory to maintain pricing.

TV Commercials: Rate 'Em Or Erase 'Em

The Comcast/NFL Legal Battle: Should There Be Ratings Criteria For Cable Operator/Cable Network Deals?
by Wayne Friedman on Apr 20, 3:15 PM
The court battle between Comcast and the NFL Network can be filtered down into some ambiguous territory: What
be popular with consumers? From the NFL Network's point of view, it's simple: Put us on everywhere and we'll get big ratings -- even if we are only airing a handful of live football games over the course of 365 days a year. And, you -- the cable operator - will make money selling advertising locally. From Comcast's point of view, it's simple: The NFL's price is too high for a handful of live games, which is the real ...

TV Upfront 2009: More Questions Than Ever Before
by Wayne Friedman on Apr 17, 12:00 PM
Upfront market questions keep media analysts awake at night this time of year. Maybe what we need is a good night's sleep -- until around August. That's how long this marketplace could last, with TV sellers bracing for a long march into the summer heat. No one is rushing to make deals.

Conclusion: you've got options, and in absolutely no situation is "run in on foot, clawing the air menacingly" the best one. In fact strategic sneak attacks are just about your only guaranteed kill. Claw attacks are surprisingly weak, and though it's possible to skewer someone with a tail whip for an insta-kill, it's also jaw-clenchingly difficult to pull off. Whichever class you pick, you're moving around in third person, a design choice intended to reflect the xenos' heightened sense of awareness (and lack of eyes).
In execution though, the camera can be unhelpful. Instead of running up to a wall and heading straight up it, you'll often veer off in another direction and wind up chasing your own tail. If Colonial Marines' competitive multiplayer is going to be the slow-burning hit Gearbox seems to believe it will be, that third-person camera needs work.
And we really hope it reaches a happy conclusion, because the modes we've played are well-balanced, perpetually tight and while they might not convey visionary map design, they're multi-pathed enough to keep each round unpredictable. There are many ranks to grind through online, unlocking visual customisation options, custom loadouts, legendary weapons like Hicks' shotgun and ego-caressing badges.
But as an online experience, Colonial Marines still feels like it's climbing walls, tip-toeing tyres and taking the odd soap-beating in basic training. Day one patches seem likely, likewise regular post-release updates. But in single player and multiplayer, some people are going to ignore the wobbly floorboards and flickering lightbulbs in Colonial Marines because the license means that much.
It won't be a technical accomplishment, but by the strength of its atmosphere and its secondary purpose as a first-person Aliens encyclopaedia it's odds-on for best game carrying the name since Rebellion's 1999 effort.

E-mail from php page
Hi. I'm quite new to all of this so hopefully will explain what I'm trying to do and still make sense
I have a database of holiday packages. Once a site visitor gets through to the product page there is a link to "make a booking" through php. However I would also like to add the option of "make a general enquiry" and have this open an e-mail with the package details in the subject line.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Sheryll.
