Tucan Travel Adventure Tours
Adventure tours travel on local transport and offer adventure travellers the chance to get involved in local culture and meet local people. Tucan Travel adventures require a certain amount of involvement, be it carrying your own bag or helping the bus driver throw everyone's packs onto the roof. People travelling on adventure tours expect more from their travel plans than just accommodation, transport and itinerary. They want genuine experience, unexpected wonders and cultural understanding. Adventure holidays can offer amazing photos, incredible scenery and the camaraderie of travelling in a group adventure.
As a traveller on one of our adventure tours you are a participant, not a spectator. You may need a certain level of fitness if you are undertaking multi-day hikes, bike rides or other activities. You have the flexibility to do your own thing at times, or join in with the group. There are some included activities on our holidays, but you also have free time built into the trips to enjoy optional excursions, or find a quiet cafe and watch the world go by.

The publication of China's long-awaited derivatives regulations has moved a step closer, following the release of new draft guidelines by the country's regulator, the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC).
The new guidelines, which are open for consultation until October 25, are aimed at clarifying some of the legal grey areas that currently exist in the Chinese derivatives market, by specifying which institutions can trade derivatives, as well as outlining the licensing procedures and risk management requirements for derivatives traders.Under the new draft guidelines – the first update since the initial consultative document in July 2002 – financial institutions will be able to trade foreign currency-denominated interest rate, credit and currency derivatives on behalf of clients and on their own account once they have received approval from the CBRC. Those banks applying for licences must have sound internal risk management and control systems, experienced dealers, and internal auditing and reporting systems.
Crucially, the new regulations state that those banks trading their own account can use derivatives for hedging and for 'arbitrage-like' trades to generate profit. This marks a seismic shift in attitude by the Chinese authorities. Currently, derivatives transactions can only be used for hedging and cannot be used for speculative purposes, a rule that has been in place since 1995.
The draft guidelines also define what a derivative is – an important step as there is currently no legal definition in China, creating uncertainty over what products are subject to the hedging-only requirement. Under the new guidelines, derivatives are defined as a transaction where the price is determined by reference to one or more underlying assets or indexes, including futures, forwards, swaps and options.

On the night of Hallows Eve, dressed up like a monster.
Trick or treating for the past hour and getting all kinds of candy from sweet to sour.
Eating it proudly you notice a skull in the moon, the skull head looking like it's laughing.
You wonder why you never noticed it before, while you wonder your friends ask why
you're looking at the moon.
You respond by saying "Do you guys see a skull head in the moon?" and your friends just
laugh at you.
They say, "no, you must be seeing things."
They continue walking down the street to the next house while you stare confused at the
moon and the skull head in it.
No longer then staring at the moon for two minutes you hear screams, you turn around
and your friends are gone.
You look around for you friends, but they're nowhere in site.
The screams of your friends continue echoing thought the street and woods.
You look back at the moon and the skull head fades away laughing.
The laughter of the fading skull sends chills down your spine.
Your friends are still screaming and you feel hopeless and weak.
Looking around trying to find your friends, you eventually find them but, you're pale white
from the fear inside of you to say anything.
You just stare as your friends lay there nearly dead.
Struck in the head, arm cut off and gashes in them, they use their last breath to say run
while you still can.
You look at them with huge eyes as they close theirs.
You wake up inside someones house the next day, youre all scratched up and bruised.
Do you know what happened that night?
I do.

CHARLOTTE -- A 19-year-old woman accused of shooting and killing a Charlotte teenager earlier this week has surrendered to police.
The Charlotte Observer reported that Vanessa Hines turned herself into police late Thursday night and was being held in the Mecklenburg County jail Friday on a murder charge. It was unclear if she had an attorney.
Fourteen-year-old Ashante Mayfield was shot to death while sitting in a car Tuesday.
Police think Hines had fled the scene on a bus after the shooting. They say Hines is the only suspect in Mayfield's death.

Registration Information
Early registration is recommended to ensure students are able to get into classes they need. Students register using MURPHY Online. All students are required to met with their advisor prior to their assigned registration day and time to discuss their plans and to have their registation advising hold released.
Registration Videos
The following web videos will give you a tutorial about the registration process at UST. Please use the following links:
How to Register in Murphy Online
Forget your PIN?
Email the IRT help desk (email@example.com) from your UST email account and they will send your PIN to you.
Adding and Dropping Classes
During the first ten days of classes students may add or drop classes without penalty or record. Once classes begin students should complete a Change in Registration (Drop/Add) form to add classes; this must be signed by the professor of the class and returned to the Registar's office in 106 Aquinas Hall. After the first ten days of class students may withdraw from classes and you will receive a "W" on your transcript. The Registrar's Office and your Undergraduate Academic Catalog has a list of deadlines for dropping and withdrawing from classes.
Are you a new First Year Student?
New first year students are not able to drop and add classes through the Murphy Online system. In order to make changes to your schedule you must pick up an Undergraduate Change in Registration (Drop/Add) form either from the Registrar's office (106 Aquinas Hall) or Academic Counseling (119 OEC) or print out the online version. This form must be signed by both the professor of the class you want to add and your faculty advisor and returned to the Registrar's Office. If you want to drop a class you only need your faculty advisor's signature.
First Day of Class Attendance Policy
Students must attend class on the first day! Professors have the option to drop you from a class if you are not in attendance. DO NOT assume that if you don't attend the class that you will be dropped. The proper procedure is to drop the class online or complete a Change in Registration form. Contact your professor or Academic Counseling if you are unable to attend the first day of class.
In the case of prolonged illness that requires a student's withdrawal, tuition can be adjusted from the date of withdrawal. The student must provide a substantiating statement from the attending physician. Tuition is not refunded or credited for courses completed. This policy applies to both full-time and part-time registration. See the director of Academic Counseling for more information.
Progress Toward a Degree
A student that takes a course with the expectation of earning a degree is called a degree-seeking student. Degree-seeking students enrolled in 12 or more credits during a semester are considered full time students.
A degree-seeking student is ranked by credits successfully completed:
Fewer than 28 credits = Freshman
28 to 59 credits = Sophomore
60 to 91 credits = Junior
92 credits or more = Senior
Students must declare a major once they have completed 48 credits. A major declaration form can be picked up in the Registrar's office. This form must be signed by the chair of your major field. Majors consist of 28 to 44 credits. Students must earn a cumulative GPA of 2.0 within their major in order to graduate.
Minors are not required, however if a student elects to earn a minor they need to officially declare that minor (the form can also be obtained in the Academic Counseling office). Minors consist of 16 to 28 credits. Students must earn a cumulative GPA of 2.0 within their minor to graduate.

What You Need to Know
Fiber is a hairlike strand of material that is much longer than it is wide. Plant fiber is made of dead plant cells that are long, narrow, and tapered (gradually narrower toward the end) at each end. Fiber cells are made mostly of the chemicals cellulose and lignin. Paper is a thin sheet made from pulp, which is a mixture of water and separated plant fibers. Recycle means to process a material so it can be used again.
How Does Papermaking Work?
Plant fibers are threadlike strands of dead cells that are characterized by an elongated shape and a thick cell wall composed mainly of cellulose and lignin. In plant fibers, such as wood, the tapered ends of the cells overlap. The length of the fiber depends on the number of cells that make it up. Fiber length varies from one type of plant to another. Wood fiber used for papermaking is generally about 1/10 inch to 1/4 inch (2.54 mm to 6.35 mm) in length. Mixing short and long fibers increases paper strength.
Most paper is made with wood fibers. After grinding and treating the fiber with various chemicals, only cellulose is left in it. This fiber plus water is called pulp. Next, the pulp goes through a process to separate the individual wood fibers. The mushy pulp mixture is sprayed onto a long, wide screen, called a wire. Water starts to drain out of the holes in the wire. This water is collected and recycled to make more pulp. As the water drains, the wood fibers begin to stick together, forming a very thin mat on the wire. Felt-covered rollers are used to absorb more of the water. But the pulpy mat on the wire is still about 60 percent water. The wire is now passed through hot rollers. The rollers heat and dry the wet mat, sealing the fibers closer and closer together, gradually changing them from pulp to paper. A big heavy roller presses the dry paper to make it smooth and uniform in thickness. The paper might then be coated with a fine layer of clay to make it glossier and easier to print on. After some more drying, the paper-making process is complete.
What Does This Have to Do with Recycling Paper?
In recycling, pulp is made by mixing wastepaper with water. Wastepaper that has never been used is called mill broke. If recycled paper contains more than 25 percent mill broke pulp, it is not considered recycled. Wastepaper that has print on it is called postconsumer waste. It is more difficult to recycle this type of paper because the ink has to be removed during the recycling process.
Fun Fact
Some insects, such as paper wasps and yellow jackets, make paper nests. They mix their saliva with fibers scraped from dead wood until a pulp similar to papier-mâché is formed. The nests contain a single layer of six-sided chambers that fit neatly together, like the cells of a honeycomb. Caution: Don't ever disturb a wasp's or a bee's nest. Wasps and bees are easily provoked and can sting forcibly, causing much pain, as this author can testify.
Real-Life Science Challenge
Paper makes up a large percentage of the waste in landfills in the United States. Recycling paper is one way to reduce the amount of trash in landfills. Recycled paper also helps save energy and water because most of the energy and water in papermaking is used to change wood into pulp. Paper can be recycled only 4 to 6 times. This is because with each recycling, the fibers get shorter and weaker.
Now pulp must be mixed with the recycled fibers to maintain the strength and quality of the paper.
Now, start experimenting with papermaking. Which paper is easiest to recycle? Which makes the best recycled paper? What about a mixture of different kinds of papers?
- Research the history of papermaking.
- Collect scraps of different types of paper.
- Make pulp by mixing water with bits of wastepaper.
- How can you safely remove the ink from used paper?
- How will you dry your paper?

POSTED: Monday, May 13, 2013 - 5:02pm
UPDATED: Monday, May 20, 2013 - 12:29pm
Ketk told you last week about Oncor electric's practice of collecting tax revenue for tax bills that don't exist.
The low price of natural gas, and tougher regulation of coal fired power plants have helped put the parent company of Oncor in trouble.
And they seem to be using money intended for taxes, to pay the bills.
Let's start with the fact that Oncor is making lots of money.
Oncor is the part of the former TXU conglomerate that takes care of getting electricity to your home or business.
They handle the sticks and wires.
Meanwhile, their parent company, which used to be TXU, was the object of the biggest equity buyout in US history…$45-million.
And now it's gone bad. The parent company, now called Energy Future Holdings is hemorraghing money.
When we asked Oncor Spokesman Chris Schein about the tax money they were collecting for taxes they didn't owe he said…
"What is…what Oncor is doing is we have an account that accounts for those monies. Right now, it's about $800-million," Schein said. "And that $800-million will be used…will effectively lower rates in the futures."
"So, you're collecting more than you need now to lower rates in the future. How will that work?" we asked.
"The…the…those sums that are not used to pay taxes now, will be used in future rate cases to reduce rates in the future," he replied.
In other words, he just repeated the statement.
But it turns out, the money is being used to keep the wolf away from the company door.
Moody's says …. Oncor's robust upstream dividends and tax payments over the next few years will support the parent company's debt obligations.
So, is Oncor collecting taxes that don't go for taxes, but to pay the debts of its parent company?
Moody's seem to think so.

Fifty Shades of Grey: Who Should Play Anastasia Steele?
Originally posted 03/30/2012 11:30AM
Here's one casting decision that might be best left to Mr. Christian Grey himself.
Anastasia Steele, the heroine in Fifty Shades of Grey (a.k.a. the hottest book around) is the object of Christian Grey's affection ... and obsession. Now that the book will be made into a movie, the task of finding just the right actress to play her should be an interesting one.
Ana describes herself in the first book of the steamy trilogy as "a pale, brown-haired girl with blue eyes too big for her face." She's clumsy and awkward but very beautiful – though she clearly doesn't see that herself. Of course, Christian does, and he's not shy about complimenting her "beautiful skin, pale and flawless." Not to mention her slim figure, which he's not shy about appreciating.

Emmy Rossum and Adam Duritz Have Split Up

Emmy Rossum has revealed she and Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz split up two months ago but says they remain on good terms.
"We're still very close friends," Rossum, 24, tells USA Today.
The two were first linked in the fall of 2009 after they'd been spotted together multiple times. As a couple they remained relatively quiet, but Rossum did reveal she originally met Duritz, 46, through Twitter.

As the eldest daughter of the recession-depressed Gallagher clan, Rossum's character is charged with raising her nine younger siblings while her father (played William H. Macy) goes on a permanent bender.
But while the concept – based on a British show of the same name – may sound downbeat, "It's really outrageous and funny, the way it's told and depicted," the Phantom of the Opera and Poseidon actress, 23, said at Sunglass Hut in NYC, where Rossum helped launch Vogue Eyewear's CFDA Capsule Collection.
Emmy Rossum Met Adam Duritz Through Twitter

"I was on tour with the band this summer. They invited me actually on Twitter," Rossum said Thursday on the radio show Valentine in the Morning. "That's how we met – on a dare. They dared me to come sing with them a song that I'd never sung before ... So I ended up on tour with the band, and it was very, very fun."

Duritz and Rossum laughed the whole thing off – plus, Rossum was already making music before receiving the Young Hollywood award at the festival that night. "She was singing in the green room," the source says, "which made [Adam] laugh."

Eric Wright won't face DUI charges
Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Eric Wright will not faces charges after being arrested in Los Angeles for investigation of driving under the influence July 2, his attorney said Friday.
Wright was arrested after he was involved in a crash near Staples Center.
"Eric is glad this is behind him and is eager to begin training camp at the end of the month," attorney Jeremy I. Lessem said.
The incident occurred about 12:20 a.m. PT several blocks away from the Staples Center when the Mercedes SLS that Wright was driving rear-ended a pickup truck, said police officer Karen Rayner. The driver of the truck had unspecified injuries.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the 26-year-old Wright told officers he had been drinking earlier in the night at a friend's house. Wright, who wasn't injured, refused to take sobriety tests, authorities said. He was booked for investigation of felony DUI.
Wright, a five-year veteran, signed a five-year, $37.5 million free-agent contract with the Buccaneers this offseason after playing in Detroit last year. He had four interceptions and 16 passes defended in 2011.
Wright had played the four previous seasons with the Cleveland Browns.
He was arrested in March 2004 while attending USC for investigation of rape, but he was never charged because of insufficient evidence. He later transferred to UNLV.

Laurel Border Outdoor Area Rug
I'm using this rug in my office that is also shared with the dining area for two cats. I needed something with a pop of color that would also be easy to clean.
It looks great as an indoor rug and I don't worry when I hear that pre-barf sound. I haven't had to hose it off yet but it seems to do well standing up to traffic and the evil wheels of my office chair while still looking like one of those wool hand hooked rugs.

Very Colorful Rug Love it!
I love this rug. The colors are vibrant and goes well with an outdoor setting You could use this indoors as well, its that pretty and durable. I love looking at my cats resting on it on my deck. They love it too.

Too Pretty For Outdoors
I bought two of these mats for outdoor use, but the colors and the design are so pretty, and they are such good quality, that I just had to use them indoors.
They brighten the kitchen, and my day - due to all the compliments I receive!

Great purchase
I love this rug! It is everything I expected and more. The colors are vibrant and really add a wow feature to my patio.

Love These Colors
Last year I purchased an outdoor rug in similar colors. I loved the colors and the way it looked in our palapa! I was a little disappointed in the way it faded, but living in south Texas, with our intense heat, I expected it wouldn't hold up as well as in other places! So,I wanted another one, in similar colors, to replace it. Overall, I love this rug! Feels wonderful on the feet and dries quickly. I would highly recommend this product!

Colorful rug
As usuall the quality of grandinroad is par excellent , rarely do I have complaints , the rug is a beautiful brightly colored rug
August 11, 2014
Excellent quality
I have purchased multiple rugs in the color scheme. The Laurel Border Outdoor area rug is a different quality than the Cayman rugs. It is more like a hooked rug and has a complete backing like an indoor rug does. I highly recommend it.
July 28, 2014
almost too pretty to put outdoors!!
This beautiful little gem sits at the entrance to our new swimming pool and is perfect for a color punch to our flagstone deck. I imagine you could place it anywhere and you would see the quality and design would still rate high, as far as softness to the touch, and visual impact to the eye. Gorgeous super bright color, with clean design. We love it!

Thank you for your interest in Grandin Road. The Laurel Border Outdoor Area Rug has a 3/8" profile.10 months ago
I see the height was described by a previous answer. I can explain it as this: It has the appearance and texture of a hooked rug. Unlike the Cayman rugs, this rug feels more like an indoor rug. The Cayman rugs, although they are great, are thinner and more in line with what one would conside an outdoor feel. I purchased an extra one of these because they are so nice and I am afraid I will never find these colors and quality again.Length of Ownership: < 1 year

Were told upon the walls; staring forms
Leaned out, leaning,
from T.S. Eliot – The Waste Land on Genius
And other withered stumps of time
Were told upon the walls; staring forms
Leaned out, leaning, hushing the room enclosed
Alludes Virgil's Book VI of Aeneid, this is Dryden's Translation:
Then o'er the lofty gate his art emboss'd
Androgeos' death, and off'rings to his ghost;
Sev'n youths from Athens yearly sent, to meet
The fate appointed by revengeful Crete.
And next to those the dreadful urn was plac'd,
In which the destin'd names by lots were cast:
The mournful parents stand around in tears,
And rising Crete against their shore appears.
There too, in living sculpture, might be seen
The mad affection of the Cretan queen;
Then how she cheats her bellowing lover's eye;
The rushing leap, the doubtful progeny,
The lower part a beast, a man above,
The monument of their polluted love.
The Lines:
There too, in living sculpture, might be seen
The mad affection of the Cretan queen
Are particularly relevant to the sense of scene Eliot has created up to this point in "A Game of Chess."
Remember, we've just been given a catalogue of the material objects in this "Throne Room"
Eliot has made damn sure that each and every one of these material objects, alludes to a greater historic and literary context to flesh-out the meaning of the section.
We have been shown the burnished throne, high ceiling of crafted timber, dias propped up by golden flagpoles with golden cupids, mantle, fireplace, Dolpin fresco/painting/pottery/whatever, painting of Philomel's rape, and now:
Other Withered Stumps of time
Which are ALSO told upon the walls.
The syntax of this line indicates each of the objects previously mentioned,
each ornament adorning the throne room is a
Withered Stump of Time
That is to say each of these objects is withered, diminished and only a signifier pointing to those tragic events they describe.
The "Living sculptures" in Virgil, are the same as Eliot's "withered stumps." They are reliefs carved into the Sibyl's Cave at Cumae to tell the narratives of Greek and Roman mythology—Pictographic allusions to the mythic past.
In the same manner as Eliot uses literary allusion to
Maintain a continuous parallel between past and present Ulysses, Order and Myth
The section in Virgil concludes:
All this with wond'ring eyes Aeneas view'd;
Each varying object his delight renew'd:
Eager to read the rest- Achates came,
And by his side the mad divining dame,
The priestess of the god, Deiphobe her name.
"Time suffers not," she said, "to feed your eyes
With empty pleasures; haste the sacrifice.
So—gawking at the beautiful imagery, detailed allusion,—Aeneas gets so carried away by looking at these carvings and these re-presentations of past history and tradition. Finally, the Sibyl snaps him out of it—reminding him,
Time suffers not, to feed your eyes
With empty pleasures.

Isn't unifying the company's identity the exact opposite of breaking the company up? Will the move do anything for the company's lagging stock price (shares have risen a total of about 5% over the last 5 years)? Highly unlikely.
Without a break up, Citi sports a 6 - 7 percent earnings growth rate and a 12 P/E multiple. Such a ratio seems about right for that type of growth. By breaking up into smaller pieces, it would be much more obvious to investors that some of Citi's businesses are growing much faster than the entire firm as a whole. In that case, higher multiples would clearly be afforded to certain divisions.
The result would be increased shareholder value, not to mention better growth prospects, given that it is much easier to grow a bunch of separately run, individualized, smaller firms than it is an enormous one. Just giving each business its own colored arc really doesn't accomplish that feat quite as well.

Cowboys player was blocking, ball hit him on the rear end. Redskins recover.
Officials get together and rule that the cowboys player was blocked into the ball.
I watch this and think that this is exactly how all of the panthers' turnovers on punts have been.
Is this an actual rule? That a blocker can be "blocked" into the ball and it's not a muff? Because we've never gotten that call in franchise history.

From accounts of deformed animals to scratch-and-sniff technology, Robert Boyle's early contributions to the Royal Society of London were prolific and wide ranging.
During development, the cells of an embryo change their pattern of gene expression, which allows them to detach from their original location and migrate to another part of the embryo, where the pattern changes again to allow formation of a new organ.

With Gilad Shalit prisoner swap done, Israelis and Palestinians debate its impact
On the face of it, the exchange is preposterous, in some ways, borderline suicidal. … The deal to bring Gilad Shalit back to his family is painful to Israelis bereaved by terror. It is, by any measure, chillingly dangerous.
And it was the right thing to do.
The deal is a remnant of an Israel which is fast disappearing. It is a remnant of a particular brand of quiet, exceptional courage. It is an expression of a national character that goes generally ignored in a media environment which prizes the extreme over the honorable. It is evidence of a people true to values which time and sectarian agendas may appear to have diluted and erased.
The deal for Gilad Shalit is a remnant of a promised land that – to those everyday people who donate their very youth, their very lives, in order to defend it – still believes it important to keep its promises.
Awareness that the deal is "chillingly dangerous" is articulated many times over in the Israeli media. In a column for the right-leaning Jerusalem Post, Isi Liebler writes that typically tough Israel has once again revealed its "Achilles' heel" and emboldened voices for extremism – and that the practice of releasing hundreds or thousands of Palestinians in exchange for a handful of Israelis is admirable, but unsustainable.
In such an environment the government must gird itself for the future. We must never again permit the deliverance of one Israeli – either soldier or citizen – to jeopardize our national security.
We must recognize that the concept that "we must pay any price" is unsustainable. A state under siege must not allow itself to be subjected to blackmail and extortion by terrorists.

2009 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Convertible (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
What a car. To find a different car that compares with the performance of this car would mean you would have to spend $150,000 dollars. The build quality is excellent. It is tight, no squeaks or rattles. It handles great. The acceleration is truly awesome, breath taking. This car is fun to drive. Styling turns head. Its very nice handling in town and a beast on the open road. My Vette has the NPP exhaust (dual-mode exhaust), Z51 Performance package, 6sp/man and 3LT pkg. Atomic Orange. The performance value of the Vette CANNOT be beat. It's a world class supercar. Hands down. And you will not have to spend world class price to own one. Lots of performance bang coupled with great styling. WOW

2009 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Convertible (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
Bought my Vette new in August '09. Drove it in '09 National Corvette Caravan to break-it-in. WONDERFUL experience. No problems with the Vette. Have had her almost five months now. Her acceleration is truly breath taking. Handling/maneuvering is remarkable. Styling turns heads. Vettes are unmistakable on the road when you see one. Waited most of my life to have one. Finally my dream comes true. These (C6 generation as well as C5's) are extremely well built. They are definitely keepers. I plan to keep mine and allow it to grow old right alongside me (now 49). Love my Vette. Its my pride and joy. Exhilaration does not adequately describe it.

I had a 2005 Coupe and had a lot of trouble with it, mostly electronic. I also was not impressed with the noise when driving. The 09 has taken care of all these issues. It rides better and so much quieter that I can hear the radio at highway speed.

Took Museum delivery of 09 Atomic Orange convertible with 4LT, NPP, Z51, Auto, Nav system on 22 Sep. Drove back to So CA and it was the most confortable long distance ride of any car that I have owned. The 6 way power seats are extremely comfortable and exceeded my expectations. Handled like a dream on winding mountain roads. Could not believe the acceleration that this car has. Gas mileage better then expected, 26.6 MPG cross country and this included city, mountain and interstate driving during break in period. A great automobile.

Hi berries! Just wanted to get some thoughts on this name for the future. The first name didn't rise as much as I expected it too this year, yay!! I like the occasional nn's of Nell/Nellie and Sweet Pea. I think this name is very sweet. Thinking about using Tess, Juniper, or June as the mn's. Thanks!

I wouldn't exactly call Juniper a "vintage" nature name; it's very modern. Penel0pe Jun1per is very sweet though. It's not really my style, but it's a nice choice nonetheless.

The name is lovely though I would have prefered Jun1per Penel0pe. Agree, Jun1per isn't very vintage but still pretty.
June 11th, 2013 11:14 AM #9
Neither Penelope nor Juniper are my cup of tea, but in terms of a vintage nature name, one that popped in my head is Orchid. I don't know if it's really considered 'vintage' but my grandmother (who is 86) has a friend named Orchid, and every time she mentions it, I get a smile on my face.
I think Pεnεlopε 0rchid is quite pretty. Charlotte works nicely as a middle name too. And even if Juniper isn't vintage but you feel like it has the same qualities (without maybe the usage), I don't see why you can't keep it around if you love it.Lucia

Camden High School had 23 track athletes compete in the 21st annual Taco Bell Classic held at Spring Valley High School. The 2013 edition of the event included more than 1,800 athletes from 150 schools representing 11 states.
It would have been an uphill climb for Camden to have leapfrogged Dreher and finish in third place in the Region 4-AAA baseball standings.
Camden's road to the AAA state tennis playoffs just got a little tougher.
Camden High School will honor its 1958 AA state championship baseball team on the 55th anniversary of that team's achievement during the break in the third inning of tonight's home game with Dreher.
Whether by design or just a matter of placing batters where they are needed in the lineup, Camden has the good fortune of batting its two most experienced players at the bottom of the order.
Playing what head baseball coach Denny Beckley said was his team's best game of the season, Camden handed host Hartsville a 9-1 defeat in Wednesday's non-region game played at Kellytown Field.
Jazzmine Devlin scored four goals as the Camden High girls' soccer team returned from spring break with a 6-0 win over Crestwood in a Tuesday night match played in Sumter.
Even though his team did not lose a set in its 7-0 win over host Manning on Tuesday, Camden High tennis coach Roger Smoak could see that the Bulldogs were still rusty from last week's spring break.
Sumter scored three goals in the first 10 minutes of play and then, went on to a 4-1 win over Camden in a non-region boys' soccer match played last Thursday.
After having reached a program-best number seven ranking in the AAA state girls soccer poll, Camden split a pair of matches last week with a 5-0 loss to 12th ranked Chapin lastTuesday before edging Sumter, 10-0, two nights later.
Wilson right-hander Trevor Edgerton broke three Camden bats.
In spite of his team's being shut out by fourth-ranked Chapin, 9-0, last Friday night and then by A.C. Flora, 6-0, Tuesday, Camden baseball coach Denny Beckley is hardly singing the blues.
Camden High tennis coach Roger Smoak is a proponent of the saying that once you fall off a horse, get back on it as quickly as possible.
There were two things which Camden baseball coach was looking to get out of Thursday's non-region game at Fairfield Central. First, he wanted to come out of Winnsboro with the victory. Next, he wanted to give several of his pitchers some much-needed time on the mound.
After dropping their first two games of the Pee Dee Invitational Pre-season Tournament being played in West Florence, Camden High head baseball coach Denny Beckley said it is time for his team to stop reading and believing what people are saying about them.
After having played football for his first two years at Camden High School, Xavier White decided to hang up his cleats and dive head first into wrestling following his sophomore season.
Due to the threat of inclement weather on Thursday, the Camden Bulldog Club has moved its winter and spring sports "Meet the Bulldogs" to Monday, March 2 at 6:30 p.m.

Defense bill nudges toward outsourcing
Several outsourcing-friendly provisions made their way into the Defense authorization bill approved by the House of Representatives last week.

The wall unit would also handle building automation functions. An integrated air conditioning unit would keep fresh air circulating if the occupant forgets to air the apartment.
The researchers' long-term aim is to design similar wall panels for every room. In the kitchen, the smart wall could monitor the stovetop or make meal preparation easier with height-adjustable cupboards. A small assistant in the form of a mobile robot could move between the hallway and the other rooms. It would be able to carry a shopping basket and bring it to the kitchen on command, for example.
The scientists have been careful to promote independence: "We want people to retain as much of their independence as possible," affirms Prof. Thomas Bock of the TUM Chair of Building Construction and Robotics. "The assistance should only kick in when people are no longer capable of doing something themselves." For that reason, the walls will have a modular design, with new functions added as and when required.
The assembly includes more than just high-tech features. The researchers remembered to add the usual hall fittings. Along with standard coat hooks, there is also a practical shoehorn at floor level.
LISA project:
The "Living independently in Sdtirol / Alto Adige (LISA)" project is being headed up by Human Ambient Technologies Lab. The TUM research institutes involved are the Chair of Building Construction and Robotics, the Chair of Philosophy and Science Theory and the recently created Munich Center for Technology in Society. On the business side, the following companies are taking part in the LISA project: MM Design, Frener & Reifer, Kompetenzzentrum Alpines Bauen (KAB), Pfeiffer Architekten, TIS Innovation Park and Barth Innenausbau.

The downside is that viewing things on the tiny screen is a real hassle. The kit came with one tape adapter but I purchased another one shortly after because of the slow loading and unloading time. That made it hard to edit tapes or look through them if I wanted to find something in a hurry. This isn't something that you need to have but it makes viewing tapes a lot nicer; they are also a great buy if you have tapes that you want to share with friends but don't want to make a copy to a VHS tape. Sure you can run wires from the camcorder to the VCR but you do lose a little bit of the quality doing that and it can get time consuming. The only major problem that I have had with this is forgetting to check the battery or leaving a VHS-C tape in it. Even with the ProCell batteries in it, it drains them fast. JVC VHS-C Video Tape Adapter If you haven't already figured it out, the "C" in VHS-C stands for compact. Sure, most people have moved on to using a digital format but for me, I like being able to have something solid, in my hands. That might sound weird but I never trusted memory cards and memory sticks; there are way too many ways to ruin them or have them get erased so I like the VHS-C format. The camcorder that I have [a JVC of course] isn't one of those large bulky ones but it certainly isn't as streamlined and small as the digital ones. You can play any type of VHS-C tape inside of this, meaning you aren't limited to just playing the JVC brand. To me this doesn't really clutter or interfere with the playback of the tape nor does it change the color or imagery. All it does is provide a skeleton of sorts for the tape to wrap around and allow it to be played inside a VCR. Why is that a big deal? You are saving your camera battery, excessive wear on the camcorder and you can rewind, fast forward and play quicker than you could on your camcorder. To me one of the biggest advantages is that you can see everything; the viewfinder on the camcorder is small and if you have three or four people looking over your shoulder, it gets a bit bothersome. The Basics To view a tape just press the small slider button and the door up pop up, there is only one way to insert the cassette into the adapter so don't get worried and thing that you are putting it in the wrong way. There are several guides that the cassette [the tape] has to fit into and if you don't have it in the right or correct position, you won't be able to put it into the adapter. Once you have it inside the carrier just press the door shut and the small red arm on the side will start to retract, at the same time you will hear the tape being loaded into position so you can slide the adapter into your VHS player. You can not record on to one of these so don't worry about accidentally hitting the record button while this is in the VCR. The red guide arm that sticks out on the side prevents you from sliding the adapter into the VCR the wrong way as well as keeping you from loading a tape that could have damage to it or isn't completely ready to be played. Again, this is where batteries are important. If that arm can't completely retract there could be a problem with the tape or the batteries and you won't be able to slide it into the VCR. Slow Loading And Unloading As I mentioned in the introduction, this thing is slow to load and unload tapes; even more so once the battery starts to drain. There is no power meter or light on the adapter so you have to use your own judgment as to when to replace the battery. It is extremely important to never leave tapes inside this; you never know when the battery is going to completely die and you don't want the tape itself getting damaged. This is one of the main reasons why I purchased a second adapter. When I would be editing films or things that I've taped and needed to switch between two separate cassettes, it added a lot of time to the process. I'm not sure if the slow loading and unloading time is something that plagues all VHS-C adapters or not but this one takes about thirty to forty five seconds to load and unload; if you are working with a ton of tapes, that can amount to a lot of time. Comparable To The Panasonic? There aren't a lot of differences between the JVC and Panasonic adapters; in fact, I will go so far as to say that almost all of the VHS-C adapters are made the same, have the same pros and cons and are in the same price range. I went with the JVC one shortly after I purchased the camcorder and found that it was taking forever to edit tapes. The original adapter that came with the camcorder died for what ever reason but I did have back ups so it wasn't a big deal. I have no idea what the life expectancy is on these so I have to assume that two years is the amount of time to give them before you should start shopping for a replacement. There isn't a big difference between both adapters and you can play back any brand of VHS-C tape in either of them. I guess the bottom line for me is cost, ironically, the next subject in my review. Price You can find these in some Wal-Mart stores in the electronics department but they aren't the easiest of things to come across these days. The average selling price is in the $15.00 dollar range but be prepared to pay more if you are ordering one online. I got mine for about $16.00 and to me it was worth every penny. I tend to shy away from getting these from online stores; I want to make sure that I am getting something that is new and has a warranty from the manufacturer. On a side note, this does come with a one year warranty for the adapter but it doesn't cover the tapes that you play in it so if you have some precious memory or scandalous footage, make a copy directly from the camcorder to a VHS tape. If you are going to own a VHS-C camcorder then this is something that you are going to have to invest in if you want to save the life of your cam as well as being able to share the images with everyone. As I said, you can hook your camcorder up to a television using cables but that can be a little confusing if you are at someone else's house or the jacks are in an strange place. The Bottom Line I really like using this adapter and outside of the battery issues, it's give me no problems. The after market one that I purchased was identical to the one that came with the camcorder so I was at ease using it right out of the box. The same thing goes for the Panasonic one, it has the same set up and design. If JVC were going to redesign this the only thing I would suggest is that there be some type of battery meter on it. Having to scout around for a AA sized battery that is brand new can be a laborious task in this house; since I have to hide the 'really good' batteries, that means I have to climb over boxes to get to them. If you are looking for a replacement VHS-C adapter I'd suggest this one but hey, if you see the Panasonic one for less, that one is also a good pick. I wouldn't go with no-name brands or ones that you aren't familiar with. You never know what quality product you are going to get or if it is going to decide to taste test your tape when you are playing it back.

Newton Citizen
COVINGTON — The Newton County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved Tuesday rezoning nearly 70 acres of land in the area of Ga. Highway 142 and Airport Road to heavy industrial.
The move required the BOC to not only rezone the tracts of land from agricultural residential and single-family residential (R3) to heavy industrial (M2), but also to amend the future land use map from public and rural residential to industrial.
Josie Cook, a resident along City Pond Road in Oxford, told commissioners that she and the other residents in the area — including Geneva Derifield, David and Valorie Payne, Michael and Velma Traylor and Ruth Frix — decided to seek the rezoning after another large parcel of nearby land was rezoned in 2010 by the city of Covington.
"We decided it would interrupt the comfortable lifestyle we had become accustomed to before we realized that industrial property would be our neighbor," Cook said. "We looked at how to help the county and to help ourselves. This may give us the opportunity to relocate since M2 is more expensive than R3."
David Payne, pastor of The Church at Covington, which is adjacent to the tracts that were rezoned, told commissioners he and his wife have lived on their property on Ga. Highway 142 North for more than 25 years. Like Cook, they decided seeking a rezoning to an industrial use would be to their advantage since that's the direction it seems the area is headed.
"Ms. Cook initiated getting us together so we have a good piece of the pie, as it were, for the county, so it would be very advantageous economically for our area if that property maybe has the potential to go together," he said.
Payne also said the rezoning would not immediately affect the church's property, but even if it did, the church owns land across Ga. Highway 142 where it could move if needed.
"The church is not necessarily looking to sell, but being a good neighbor we actually own 65 acres across the street," he said. "(We) are not going to leave the neighborhood if someone were to offer to buy the church out, but (it) could put us in a more advantageous place."
Judy Johnson, Newton County's zoning administrator, presented the rezoning and amendment to the future land use map requests to the commissioners. She said after staff review of the proposal, they determined that the rezoning would be suitable for the surrounding area. Currently, however, the change would not be in alignment with the future land use map; however, it does comport with the Newton 2050 plan.
"Staff and planning commission's recommendation is approval with recommended conditions," Johnson said.
Those conditions include restrictions on the type of uses for the property. Among the uses not allowed on the property are adult bookstores, asphalt plants, nightclubs, chemical plants, a homeless shelter, privately owned landfill, paper mills or salvage operations.
Any site plan proposed for the property must be reviewed by the Planning Commission, which can add additional conditions.

Also of interest from shadow-4.0.17 is that it includes some default PAM configurations now. They have a few options I've never seen before, such as what appears to be include statements... I'm playing with them now and will mention anything useful about them. On a simular note, and part of why I upgraded, I fixed a personal pet peeve I've had since switching to PAM at a level outside of bash script tricks. Beware though, this doesn't work properly on 0.99.4.0 so don't waste your time trying if you installed PAM as per BLFS-6.2. It consists of three rules and a couple of configuration files. In /etc/pam.d/login, instead of the standard pam_env.so, use: > session required pam_env.so conffile=/etc/security/login/env.conf readenv=0 > session [default=1 success=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so quiet uid eq 0 > session required pam_env.so conffile=/etc/security/login/env_root.conf readenv=0 pam_succeed_if.so is a module that allows you to test characteristics of the account you are authenticating, or alternatively the uid of the process that requisitioned the authorization request. There is a README in the source code, under modules/pam_succeed_if, check it out if this is of interest to you. 0.99.4.0 has this module as well, although it only works for auth and account from what I could tell. 'quiet' just tells the module to not log anything, which is okay for this purpose. Make a directory called /etc/security/login. Place the following line in /etc/security/login/env.conf: PATH default=/bin:/usr/bin And a simular but different line in /etc/security/login/env_root.conf (make sure you use brackets on the variable or it'll botch): PATH default=/sbin:/usr/sbin:${PATH} And voila... every user logging in will get their path set from env.conf. pam_succeed_if.so will fail if you're not root, but since success=ignore it won't affect the overall authentication. Instead, on failure it will skip 'default' (in this case, 1) lines and continue authentication as per usual. If you are root though, you get your environment set from env_root.conf. ENV_SUPATH lives again! Jonathan

I like a lot of RPGs... I loved the Pokemon games (until Ruby/Sapphire), Golden Sun, and adore Final Fantasy. Legend of Zelda games are also loved. I'm actually good at Mario Kart and Mario Tennis, although I don't usually like racing or sports games.
DDR is a classic game in my opinion, and I subscribe to Nintendo Power because I'm a loser. =P Yeah. Nintendo fan.

Below is our complete Crown news coverage, including columns and articles pertaining to the band. Some articles listed may be indirectly related, such as side projects of the band members, etc.
Crown To Release "Psychurgy" Through Candlelight
Hailing from France, Crown (not to be confused with The Crown) consists of two men and a machine who tune their neutron guitars to the Richter scale, and deliver the sound of a molten universe collapsing.
Candlelight Records will be releasing Crown's "Psychurgy" on June 18th, 2013 as part of the label's Cult Series. Candlelight also comments:
"Touching on early Isis, Godflesh, Floor and even Killing Joke, Crown explores the depths of slow tempos through sheer exuberant heaviness.
"The duo's depth-charging guitars and buried melodic tendencies on latest offering, Psychurgy, snake around hissing electronics, a tribal/military percussive thwack, and the splashing cymbals of a minimal-yet-completely-effective drum-machine.
"Their sound is further emboldened by a massive bestial roar, heavy and oppressive, leading to an abyss of nothingness…. Crown's Psychurgy is dark, spiralng, and obscure and a music trip you won't soon forget."
Crown Releases "The One" EP
Metal duo Crown has released a new EP, titled "The One," on the band's own label Superstrong. You can stream the tracks from the release via the Bandcamp player below. The track listing for "The One" is as follows:

ProMeta, the Interfaculty Centre for Proteomics and Metabolomics at Belgium's University of Leuven, selected GenoLogics Life Sciences Software's Proteus as the lab and scientific data management solution for its research.
The ProMeta Centre specializes in providing mass spectrometry and chromatography-based technology services, complemented by its capability of handling gel-based proteomics samples, to proteomics and metabolomics researchers. GenoLogics Proteus solution will provide increased automation of instruments and data integration with downstream search engine processes, such as Sequest and Mascot, resulting in more efficient provision of services to ProMeta's academic and industry clients, say GenoLogics. ProMeta expects to thus realize a decrease in turnaround time, thus increasing profitability.

Got a need for speed? McLaren to roll out 200-mph MP4-12C
Formula One car maker McLaren will enter the commercial market in 2011. Its first offering is the McLaren MP4-12C.
Woking, England
Formula One car maker McLaren unveiled plans on Thursday to build a range of commercial sports cars in Britain, using race technology to take on other high-end European manufacturers such as Ferrari and Porsche on the highways.
McLaren is banking on renewed spending after the global economic downturn to bolster demand for its first offering, the MP4-12C, which will go on sale in late 2011 with a hefty price tag of between 125,000 ($191,127) and 150,000 pounds ($227,188).
The company's leap into the commercial market is part of its long-running strategy to build revenues by moving away from a single-minded focus on the financially fickle world of Formula One racing.
"Following any recession, there's a resurgence," McLaren Automotive Chairman Ron Dennis said at the company's headquarters — and new factory site — in Woking, south of London. "We intend to catch that wave."
"Our volumes are very much linked to how we see the recovery," he added.
