FIG. 23 is a cross sectional view of the internal structure of FIGS. 21 and 22.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a jig 11 formed in accordance with the invention. In FIGS. 1 and 2 the hook 12 portion of the jig 11, is affixed as by conductive adhesive, by soldering or by welding as at 19A to one terminal lead 15 of a blinking type LED (light emitting diode) 17, commonly available. A miniature, power providing device 21 is mounted and electrically connected between terminal lead 15 and the other terminal lead 16 of the diode 17 by the adhesive, solder or weld 19B. Power providing device 21 may comprise a miniature battery such as a commonly available watch battery. The power device 21 may also comprise a charging capacitor such as a double layer wet type capacitor commonly available.
Referring briefly also to FIG. 8B, when a battery 21A is utilized as the electrical power source 21 a PNP switching transistor connected to the LED 14, see FIG. 8A. This is done to switch battery ON and OFF. More specifically, battery 21A is connected in series with the collector to emitter path of transistor 14 and LED 17. When the circuit is placed in the water, the base terminal of transistor biases transistor 14 to conduct by the circuit path extending through the water to the negative terminal of battery 21A, and hence switches battery 21A ON to power LED 17.
When a charging capacitor 21B is used as the power providing device 21, as in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a pair of electrically charging leads 23 and 25 are affixed to the capacitor 21B by the affixing means 19. In this embodiment a diode 28 is electrically connected in series with lead 25 to control the direction of the charging current to the capacitor. The other lead 30 of diode 28 is affixed as by adhesive, soldering or welding 31 to make electrical contact with capacitor device 21 and the lead 16 of LED 17. Lead 23 may be of slightly different length then lead 25 to distinguish the leads for purposes of contacting the proper terminal of a charging battery as will be described. A zener diode 26 connects to the positive contacting terminal 23 to provide a voltage drop for the circuit. The ends of leads 23 and 25 are formed into a loop such as at 27 for firmness and for ease of handling. Terminal leads 23 and 25 are spaced apart a selected distance to conform to the standard spacing between the positive and negative terminal of a standard type 9 volt battery, not shown. The method of charging the capacitor power source 21 will be described below.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show the jig 11 with the apparatus of FIGS. 1 and 2 enclosed in a body or housing 29 such as of colored plastic. Body 29 has a loop 31 formed at the end opposite the hook 12 for attaching to a fishing line.
In one embodiment the LED 17 is caused to flash or blink at about 3 hz. rate. LED 17 integrally incorporates the circuitry for effecting a blinking or flashing function. Electronic circuits for effecting a blinking action of a continuous light LED are also well known, however, utilizing the blinking LED 17 minimizes the size of jig 11.
Diode 28 assures that the capacitor 21B is properly charged; that is, it controls current flow in the right direction, and also assures that capacitor 21B maintains a charge in water; that is, the capacitor is not discharged through the water. In the 30 to 60 seconds capacitor 21B becomes fully charged and is ready for operation. The charge or capacitor 21B powers LED 17 which integrally includes a blinking circuit to turn LED 17 ON/OFF continuously. The charge on capacitor 21B can maintain LED 17 in this blinking condition for about 30 minutes.
Refer now to FIGS. 5, 6, and 7 which show an attractor 41 which is of somewhat similar construction as the jig 11 of FIG. 1. Attractor 41 includes an LED 42 which has terminal leads 43 and 44 which straddle and are mounted on opposite sides of a charging capacitor 45, such as by soldering or welding indicated at 46 and 47. A diode 51 similar to diode 28 of FIG. 1 is provided to assure capacitor 45 is coupled to be charged in the proper polarity and is mounted to be connected in series with one plate of capacitor 45 and lead 44. Loop 62 on a wire segment 57 is formed close enough to lead 44 to permit contact to an external charging battery, not shown. A zener diode 52 similar in purpose to zener diode 28 is connected to lead 62. As shown in FIG. 7, attractor 41 includes a body 55 encasing a capacitor 45 and LED 42 similarly as body 29 is formed for the apparatus of FIG. 1. Terminal 44 and loop 62 function similarly as terminals 25 and 23 of FIG. 1 for charging capacitor 45. LED 42 functions similarly as LED 17 of FIG. 1.
The wire segment 57 having loops 61 and 62 at both ends is affixed to device 45, as by welding or soldering indicated at 46. A reflective plate 58 or other device may be hinged on segment 57. The attractor 41 is attached to the associated fishing line by engaging the loops 61 and 62 such as between a jig 65 and the line 66 connecting to the pole, not shown.
As mentioned above, FIGS. 8A and 8B show the electronic circuit used in the inventive apparatus jig 11 and attractor 41. As also mentioned above, and referring to FIG. 8A, terminals 23 and 25 are spaced apart about 0.5 inches to conform to the spacing of terminals of a charging battery. To charge capacitor 21B the terminal 23 is caused to make contact with the positive terminal of the charging battery and terminal 25 is caused to make contact with the negative terminal of the battery. In 30 to 60 seconds, the capacitor 21B is fully charged. Diode 28 assures that capacitor 21B is protected from being charged in a reverse polarity. LED 17 is a blinking type LED which begins blinking when capacitor 21B is charged and continues to blink until the capacitor dissipates its charge. It has been found that capacitor 21B will cause LED 17 to continue to blink for about 25 to 30 minutes.
Refer now to FIGS. 9-11 which show a lure 71 in accordance with the invention. The lure 71 includes a pair of blinking LEDs 72 and 73 mounted in a position of the eyes of a fish on plastic fish-like body 74. The terminal leads 75 and 76 are similar in function and structure to terminal leads 23 and 25 of the jig 11 and also of attractor 41. A clear plastic plate 77 extends outwardly from the mouth of fish body 74 and includes a ring or hole 78 for attaching a fish line or other device. Ring 81 extends from fish body 74 to engage suitable hooks.
The fish body 74 encases or encapsulates a printed circuit board 82, see FIG. 11 and 12, which includes electronic circuitry for controlling the operation of LEDs 72 and 73. A charging capacitor 87 is incorporated in the circuit. A zener diode 86 similar to zener diode 26 of FIG. 1 connects to the positive contacting terminal 85 to provide about 2.7 volt drop; and a diode 88 similar to diode 28 provides proper charging polarity. A small capacitor 83 is connected across the input terminals. A resistor 91 connects one plate (terminal) of capacitor 83 to one terminal of charging capacitor 87. The other terminals of capacitors 87 and 83 are connected to common reference lead 95. The junction of resistor 91 and capacitor 83 connect through resistor 92 to the emitter of a PNP transistor 93. The base of transistor 93 is connected to the cathodes of LEDs 72 and 73. The collector of transistor 93 is connected to the base of NPN transistor 94 which has its base connected to common reference, and its collector connected to the cathode of LEDs 72 and 73.
Lead 95 connects the junction of zener diode 86 to the anodes of LEDs 72 and 73 which are connected in parallel. The cathodes of LEDs 72 and 73 are connected to the base of transistor 94 and to a resistor 97, which is connected across transistor 94.
In operation and similarly to the jig of FIG. 1 and to the attractor 41 of FIGS. 5 and 6 the terminal 85 and 90 are caused to contact the charging battery. When capacitor 87 is charged LEDs 72 and 73 begin to blink. The circuitry of FIG. 12 is effective to provide a short ON time and a longer off time of the LEDs 72 and 73 and hence extends the number of minutes or period during which there is a continuous blinking operation of the LEDs after the capacitor 87 is charged.
Refer now to FIG. 13 which shows a lure 71A similar to lure 71 of FIG. 9. In the lure 71A the LEDs 72A and 73A are mounted fore and aft; that is, longitudinally on the fish body or housing. The electronic circuitry for the lure of FIG. 13 is indicated in FIG. 14.
It has been found that connecting the two blinking LEDs 72A and 73A in series causes the LEDs to blink or be operable from the charged capacitor 87 for a longer period of time as compared to a single LED. For example, the charging 21B utilized for the single LED 17 of the jig 11 of FIGS. 3 and 4 will maintain the capacitor in an operable blinking condition for 30 minutes. In contrast, and quite interestingly, connecting two LEDS 72 and 73 in series as schematically depicted in FIG. 14 and using the same capacitor will cause the LEDs 72 and 73 to be in an operable blinking conditions for over 1 hour, even though LEDs 72 and 73 are similar to LED 17.
A possible explanation for the foregoing phenomena may be obtained from the waveforms of FIG. 15 such as would be obtained across resistor 90. Assume LEDs 72 and 73 have different ON and OFF times relative to each other. If only one LED was in the circuit waveforms (a) or (b) would be obtained. If the two LEDs are connected in series, the only time current will flow through the circuit is when both LEDs are ON at the same time. The foregoing features cuts the ON time of the LEDs by whatever portion does not fit the more narrow time window created by having both LEDs ON at the same time, and the waveform obtained would be as at (c). Because the LEDs are ON for a shorter time the total time period of blinking operation of the LEDs for a charging cycle of the capacitor is increased substantially.
Refer now to FIGS. 13-17 which show a first embodiment of fishing bobber 101 is accordance with the invention. Bobber 101 includes an outer body 102 such as of a plastic material formed in the shape of a foreshortened circular trapezoid. The body 102 includes an elongated vertical opening 103 extending through body 102 for receiving the component mounting board 106 including an LED 104 and an audio device 105 as will be explained. The terminals 108 and 109 on board 106 are similar in function and purpose to terminals 23 and 25 of the jig 11 of FIG. 11 extend outwardly of body 102. In operation bobber 101 is intended to float in the water in the orientation indicated in FIG. 18 with LED 104 and audio device 105 extending below the water for purposes to be explained.
Mounting board 106 is of a known composite material for mounting the electronic circuitry components which are essentially the same as the circuitry for jig 11 and are generally labeled as 107, the LED 104 and the audio device 105. LED 104 is mounted on the top of board 106, audio device 105 is mounted on the side of board 106 and adjacent the top of the board, and LED 104. The electronic circuitry components 107 are mounted on the side of the board and encapsulated by a plastic material 108. A loop 111 is suitable affixed to the bottom of board 106 for attaching such as to the fishing line.
In assembly, the electronic circuit components 107 are suitably mounted on board 106 and encapsulated in plastic indicated at 108. Next, the board 106 and included components 107 are inserted downwardly into recess 103 of body 102 and affixed thereto as by a suitable waterproof adhesive.
In operation, a jig or hook is affixed to loop 111 and the fishing line. The bobber 101 (with its capacitor previously charged as explained for jig 11 of FIGS. 1 and 2) will float on the water with the LED 104 and audio device 105 submerged. Blinking LED 104 will not be operating and the audio device 105 will not be operating. When a fish strikes, the hook (jig) will pull on loop 111 tipping or pulling over the bobber 101 to close a water activated switch 120 and activate the LED 104 and the noise device 105, see FIG. 17. The fisherman will be immediately advised visually and audibly that he has a fish on the line. Note that, basically switch 120 comprises two metallic terminals and when water is introduced between the terminals, the terminals are effectively electrically in contact.
The electronic circuitry components 107 of bobber 101 are shown in FIG. 20. Terminals 108 and 109 are mounted similarly to terminals 23 and 25 of of jig 11 to charge capacitor 114 through diode 115 which function similarly to capacitor 21B and diode 28, respectively. Also, blinking LED 104 functions similarly to LED 17 of FIG. 8A.
When the bobber 101 is tipped over as by engaging a fish, a conducting path is provided by the water and switch 120 closes. Transistor 116 is caused to conduct to provide a circuit path for LED 104 to start blinking. Resistor 118 connected to the cathode of LED 104 reduces the current draw of LED 104. Concurrently, the audio device 117 (which is a commercially available device) is powered through transistor 116 to make an audio sound. Audio device 117 is a dual plate piezo device connected in a feedback circuit including transistor 119, resistors 121, 122, and lead 123 to provide chirping noises. Resistor 12 provides feedback type of resistance that places a potential on the piezo disk that distorts the disk at the frequency of the combined components.
As mentioned, switch 120 switches transistor 116 ON when the bobber 102 is tipped over into the water such as by a fish, to thereby activate the blinking LED 104 and audio device 117; and switch 120 turns transistor 116 OFF when the bobber 102 returns to its passive or non-fish position two twin LED 104 and audio device 107 OFF.
FIGS. 21, 22, and 23 show a second embodiment of a bobber 121 which comprises a round plastic housing 122 formed of two similar halves 123 and 124. An electronic printed circuit board 125 including an LED 126 is mounted within housing 122 as by wire leads 120, 108, and 109, or by foam material. The audio device 128 mounted on housing as by adesive and to board 125 is positioned to extend outwardly of the housing 122 to convey an adequate sound. The operation of the bobber 121 is similarly to that of bobber 101 and is depicted in FIGS. 21 and 22. In bobber 121, the LED 126 is mounted within housing 122 and shines through the translucent plastic housing 122.
Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated herein, it should be recognized that modifications and variations may readily occur to those skilled in the art and that such modifications and variations may be made without departing from one spirit and scope of my invention. Consequently, my invention as claimed below may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described above.

A bold new chapter in the Predator universe, Predators was shot on location under Rodriguez's creative auspices at the filmmaker's Austin-based Troublemaker Studios, and is directed by Nimród Antal.
The film stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they've been brought together on an alien planet… as prey. With the exception of a disgraced physician, they are all cold-blooded killers – mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members – human "predators" that are now being systemically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators.

Fuji is sacred, some probably feel blessed to be able to die here.
The nature of the place is very foreboding and you will hear nothing but the forest when you move in just a few kilometers from the border. It is believed that the unsettled souls come to this place to scream their frustrations into the winds. The foresters have a job of looking for bodies in this forest and they come across them often, either hanging from trees or eaten away by predators.

Japan is bracing itself for bad times after many extremely rare, giant Oarfish have washed ashore and been caught in coastal fisherman's nets.
Sightings of these fish started after the 'quake in Chile and the 6.4 magnitude earthquake in Taiwan. The recent tectonic shifting around the Pacific is raising concern that Japan is next.
The Oarfish is traditionally known as a messenger fish from the sea gods, and it's tidings are usually grim. The fish can grow up to five metres in length and usually found at depths of 1, 000 ft. Long and slender with a dorsal fin that runs the length of it's body.
According to folklore, the fish will come ashore and beach itself to warn of an impending earthquake and there are scientific theories that bottom-dwelling fish may very well be susceptible to movements in seismic fault lines and act in uncharacteristic ways in advance of an earthquake, although we do have the option to believe that or the constant high-tech monitoring of the tectonic plates beneath the surface. Fingers crossed those fish are just Godzilla and not something worse.

SECOND IMPACT SYNDROME Second impact syndrome occurs when an athlete sustains a second head injury (concussion) before symptoms associated with the first head injury have totally resolved. Often the first injury was unreported or unrecog- nized. Second impact syndrome usually occurs within one week of the initial injury. The devastating injury to the brain usually occurs within minutes of the second injury and causes rapid brain swelling and hernia- tions as a result of the brain's loss of its ability to regulate its blood supply. A second impact can result in some form of permanent impairment and a 50% death rate. Once a person has suffered a concussion he/she is four to six times more likely to suffer a subsequent concussion. It is estimated that 20% of all high school football players suffer a concussion each year. A second injury can be minor perhaps a blow to the chest can cause the head to jerk back and forth. FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO INJURY • Not reporting a concussion or head trauma • Returning to practice or competition before all symptoms of previous head injury have resolved. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Rapid brain swelling develops in a matter of 2 – 5 minutes causing: • Rapidly dilating pupils • Eventual coma • Loss of eye movement • Death is common • Respiratory failure Official Sports Medicine and Performance Enhancement Provider to Utah Youth Soccer and Rocky Mountain School of Baseball FOR A FREE INJURY ASSESSMENT APPOINTMENT CALL (801) 314-2300 5848 S. 300 E.

And who wants to get their character killed off? Not too many. Surrounded by Zergs?/TrollFace
That's why no one is a Soldier but a Citizen.
I did have list of what I thinking about doing before I came up with Fade, so here it is:
-A Crash sequel: Just like the original Crash, OP characters with even more OP villians, and a storyline that involved NOTHING with crashing!
-LoL inspired RP: You make up a character that fights in an arena to determine.... something. Never got further than that, as that was when I thought of Fade
-Horror RP: Characters that find themselves in an abandoned planet filled with...... Well, horrors. Involved mutated creatures that they had to face, with a particular creatures that they never encounter directly that attempts to either kill or help them from time to time.
-Enterprise RP: You are a group of friends that slowly rise up from the slums to fame..... Again, never got far on this
-Royalty RP: You're royalty..... Make alliances, fight, taxes, etc. Never got far on this.
Contrary to popular belief, debates are more then convincing your opponent. People believe whatever they want to believe, whether it's true or not.
When you debate, you are trying to sway the people on the middle ground. i.e. Me.
"I am thinking of a RP where the characters are Follower's or Raknashal."
Whats a follower? Or a Raknashal?

I read this as Rahkshi, from Bionicle, and I had a surge of nostalgia, I am now sad.
You, for example, are one of the unique individuals who can make up their own balanced weapons and abilities, but most people can't.
However, flattery is as irrelevant as insult. All of the RPs I named worked just fine, and I didn't DM any of them (that I remember). You seem to be missing the critical word: Guidelines. Guidelines. GUIDELINES GUIDELINES GUIDELINES!
Darkest Heart and the Academy worked well without superlong lists because people picked weapons, the DM dtermined the damage dealt by said weapons.
(Note- the Academy may not be the best example due to the fact that it contained both Abel and Ceas, two of the most OP chars in JoeyRay's history. However, their power was due to the veterancy system used in PKA, and the owners of said characters were big participators and had stacks of buffs.)
Z&Z and Breakout are others that were like this. No lists (except for the food list in Z&Z) but firm guidelines. A DM who was willing to say "No" instead of spoiling the RPers. It's an inability to set such guidelines without eliminating creativity entirely that has decreased the quality of recent RPs, in my opinion.
EDIT - Ah, Bionicle. Miss it.
Edited by KnarledOne on 1/9/2013 3:15 PM PST
And when Fantasy/Heaven came up with the story for Abel.... He made Abel really OP and making him part of a bloodline of psionic energy creatures.
"I meant Rak'nashal. Markus, Rak'nashal is the Demon's name. The Follower's are basically a cult that follows Rak'nashal."
Draconus gave out powers like candy and nearly all of them favored psionic characters. Moderation is key methinks. PKA would have been fine if it weren't so over the top.
Or killing them without their consent.
Smylez.... remember the many Paparazzi Broodlings you employed?
That too.
Though I believe in killing extremely stupid people.
In one of my posts I was explaining the reason why I used you as an example rather then CR or anyone else. In my other post, I was using you as an example because it fit best, not because I was trying to flatter you.
In regards to your argument, I agree with you. But like I said, most people are incapable of making a balanced weapon or ability. I think it is in the DM's responsibility to put out a list of balanced weapons, so that it's all evenly balanced.
Longer lists makes for more creativity. Guidelines make for potential OPness.
If I were completely honest with myself, I would say both of you are right. Now it's a matter of preference rather then opinion.
I agree, but as a DM, whenever I go to do this, nobody listens to me.

Ah yes, that was the only thing I could when it was clear Kasora was far outclassed by everyone else. That is, annoy the hell out of everyone although I only had mild success.
Dat picture tho!
O_O /TrollFace
Yep, those steamy pics of Shade. :3
And then.... The one thing that really got me annoyed with Abel.... Sentient Pillow that could kill anyone...
I did have list of what I thinking about doing before I came up with Fade, so here it is:
Crash Sequel- Dunno if I'd join.
Horror-Ehh, sure.
Enterprise- DO EET!
Royalty- I dunno, I tried to make P&P like that, and it failed miserably. Probably because of my lack of experience at DMing.

The State government should explore the possibility of organising special recruitment drive for persons the differently-abled in association with the corporate sector on a regular basis and at frequent intervals to ensure that a wider spectrum of job opportunities is available to them, the Madras High Court has observed.
Immediate steps should be taken to clear the backlog of vacancies and the government should ensure that the rule of three per cent reservation is adhered to strictly in accordance with the Persons with Disabilities (Equal opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act. There should be effective implementation of the Act.
The First Bench, comprising Chief Justice M.Y. Eqbal and Justice T.S. Sivagnanam, made the observation while disposing of two writ petitions.
A petition by T.M.N. Deepak sought a direction to authorities to monitor and ensure that the three per cent reservation for persons with disability is filled by the physically challenged. He also sought a direction to fill vacancies reserved for the differently-abled and clear the backlog of reserved vacancies as enunciated in a G.O. of August 2008.
The other petition by S.Chezhiyan sought a direction to implement various provisions of the Act.
In its counter, the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission said the government had ordered reservation of three per cent of vacancies for physically challenged persons. By another order the government had approved a list of 117 posts identified under Group A and B category under the purview of the TRB and TNPSC as suitable for differently-abled persons and reserved three per cent of vacancies in direct recruitment for such posts.
Placing reliance on a report by the State Commissioner for the differently-abled, the Special Government Pleader said Tamil Nadu is a forerunner in the matter of implementation of polices for the physically challenged. Government orders are being fully implemented.
Disposing of the petitions, the Bench observed that steps appear to have been taken by the government to identify various posts in which the differently abled persons are to be accommodated. It said, while appreciating the steps taken by the government, thus far, it appeared from the details furnished by the petitioners that a more sustained and speedy effort was required by the government to fully achieve the constitutional objective of Article 41. Though steps had been taken to identify the backlog vacancies, it appeared that no special recruitment drive had been conducted.

Great hotel in a cool city. Decent rooms, good breakfast, friendly staff and a real buzz in the lounge. Be warned, all chinese men seem to smoke! Not a problem for me but could be a problem for others as, although smoking is banned indoors, nobody takes any notice whatsoever..
Only one issue we had.. we visited the Thai restaurant after hearing good things about it.. TBH, was one of the worst Thai meals we have had.. truly awful.. maybe we visited on a bad evening..
Otherwise, all was up to the usual Shangri-La standard

The title track is one of several highlights from a 1971 Tjader gem, where the Latin/jazz innovator applies the then-latest in studio technology to create a collection that holds up extremely well. With a diverse array of material (composed by Johnny and Shuggie Otis, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and Clare Fischer, among others), some tasty arrangements that even make delicate use of voices in spots, a dash of solo horns on "Now," and the exceptional familial teamwork of Pete and Coke Escovedo, Tjader turns in one of his most diverse sessions. The remainder of this CD, recorded the following year at the Funky Quarters nightclub, features more strong playing from the leader and electric pianist Al Zulaica plus different strengths--fertile new material, old hits refashioned in new arrangements, and a strong third solo voice in bassist John Heard. As usual, Tjader builds his bands and his grooves from the rhythm section up--and the team of Heard and drummer Dick Berk was one of the vibist's best.

Microsoft had a healthy head start, and, in America, at least, it has the opportunity to expand upon it, before it is eroded by the Wii, as well as make things untenable for Sony. Complicating matters are the losses that Microsoft's game division has taken, recently. However, I think that it would pay off in the long term to make the Xbox 360 and unbeatable value, especially when compared to the ridiculously expensive PS3. It would seem that Microsoft is opting for a different, "safer" approach, however.

Aleksei Antonov
Aleksei Innokentievich Antonov (Russian: Алексе́й Инноке́нтьевич Анто́нов) (9 September 1896 - 16 June 1962) was a General of the Soviet Army, awarded the Order of Victory for his efforts in World War II.
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2012)
Born in Grodno in a family of Kryashen[1][2] ethnicity as the son of an artillery officer of the Imperial Russian Army,[3] Antonov graduated from Frunze Military Academy in 1921 and joined the Red Army during the Russian Civil War. He became an instructor at Frunze Military Academy in 1938.
In 1941, Antonov became Chief of Staff for the Soviet Southwestern Front and Southern Front. In the following year he became Deputy Chief General Staff of the combined Soviet forces and Head of the Operations Directorate. His duty was to liaise with other officers and inform Stalin of the military situation. Richard Overy writes of him at this time:
Vasilevsky came to rely on one subordinate above all others: the chief of operations, General Aleksei Antonov. [...] On December 11 [1942] the forty-six-year-old Antonov stepped into the role which was more directly exposed to Stalin's inquisitive leadership than any other. Antonov rose to the challenge. Instead of rushing off to report to Stalin when he arrived in Moscow, he spent the first week familiarizing himself thoroughly with the General Staff and the state of the front. Only when he was fully primed did he go to see his commander. The two men developed the most effective working relationship of the war. Antonov displayed a calm intelligence married to a massive energy and exceptional industry. According to his deputy, General Sergei Shtemenko, Antonov never lost his temper or allowed circumstances to get the better of him. He was firm, caustic, slow to praise and a tough taskmaster, but the rigorous regimen that he imposed on his staff won their respect. Above all he was adept at manipulating Stalin. He did not sugar-coat his reports. He was prepared to stand up to Stalin with what his deputy regarded as a 'brave outspokenness'. So skilled was he at providing the evening situation reports concisely and accurately that even Zhukov bowed to his capability and allowed Antonov to present them in his place. The trust that Stalin came to place in Antonov was reflected in his survivability. He retained his office until February 1945, when he was made chief of staff in Vasilevsky's place.[4]
By 1944 Antonov was Chief Spokesman and was present at both the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences. At the Yalta Conference he briefed the Western Allies on how the Allies could aid Soviets by bombing lines of communications which led to the Dresden raid.
After the war Antonov became Deputy Commander-in-Chief and then Commander-in-Chief of the Transcaucasus Military District. In 1955, he became Chief of Staff of the Combined Forces of the Warsaw Pact. He held this post until his death in 1962.
In 1956, Antonov married ballerina Olga Vasiliyevna Lepeshinskaya. It was her second marriage.

To observe the effects of sodium tanshinone II A sulfonate (STS) on angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced hypertrophy of myocardial cells through the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK1/2).
In the primary culture of neonatal rat myocardial cells, the total protein content in myocardial cells was determined by coomassie brilliant blue and the protein synthesis rate was measured by [3H]-Leucine incorporation as indexes for hypertrophy of myocardial cells. The expression of p-ERK1/2 was determined using Western blot and immunofluorescence labeling.
(1) The total protein and protein synthesis rate increased significantly in contrast to the control group after the myocardial cells were stimulated by Ang II (1 μmol/L) for 24 h; STS markedly inhibited the increment of the total protein level induced by Ang II and the syntheses of protein. (2) After pretreatment of myocardial cells with Ang II (1 μmol/L) for 5 min, the p-ERK1/2 protein expression was increased, with the most obvious effect shown at about 10 min; pretreatment of myocardial cells with STS at different doses (2, 10, 50 μmol/L) for 30 min resulted in obvious inhibition of the expression of p-ERK1/2 stimulated by Ang II in a dose-dependent manner. (3) After the myocardial cells were stimulated by Ang II (1 μmol/L), the immunofl uorescence of ERK1/2 rapidly appeared in the nucleus. The activation and translocation process of ERK1/2 induced by Ang II was blocked distinctly by STS.
STS inhibited the myocardial cell hypertrophy induced by Ang II, and the mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of p-ERK1/2 expression.

Pins all the way
Think im pushing the $1300 mark right now..
Its pretty neat actually, bought one of the $5 large scale designer maps, and am putting a pin for each attraction
Fun hobby
And Vinylmation is alright, have around 10
thats cool where do u get the map
esmerelda fortunes and the pennie machien things i try to get a new one every time :O
I go in for drinkware myself....have a Tower of Terror "hotel" water glass, Tiki Room glass, HM mug, Pirates large glass stein, Tenniel style Alice drawing glass from Vault Disney...
when the spooks have a midnight jamboree....
Pins. they are so addicting and money-consuming!
Recently, on my past 2 trips I have gotten a mug, maybe I'll make a collection out of that..
vinylmation all the way!
Maps. It's fun to look back at how everything's changed, and they're FREE!
I'm a toy collector so I focused on Mickeys in my favorite other properties. So Mickey Starwars, Mickey Jack Sparrow, Mickey Indiana Jones and Mickey Opimus Prime (not sold at the parks). Them, when that was done I started getting Vinylmation. One for each time go. Here's a pic of the small, but growing Mickey Collection.
Nothing for now. Just memories. I used to collect maps too, or pens (the ones that had a moving piece within some fluid). Just sort of fell out of the mood.
Pins and this might be weird but i also used to collect parking pass that they give you at the structure.
I write on the back who i went with and why it was an important memory. Im weird like that
if ye be brave or fool enough to face a pirate's curse, proceed.

The National Credit Union Administration's (NCUA) decision not to go forward with a final CUSO rule was one of the best it has made in a long time – consistent with its new approach on Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs).
Several credit union leaders who spoke at the NCUA "Listening Session" in Orlando, FL last week said they are seeing improvements with their examiners, although some concerns about the examination process remain. About 80 people attended the session; most were from Florida but credit unions from Alabama, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Ohio were among those attending.
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) met on May 24 and took positive steps to improve the regulatory and reporting treatment for troubled debt restructurings (TDR). The NCUA Board also eliminated the RegFlex program, but folded authorities under the program into the various rules that have applied to RegFlex activities. The meeting summary provided by CUNA is listed below.
The latest CUNA Regulatory Advocacy Report is available and covers:

The latest CUNA Regulatory Advocacy Report is now available and covers:
National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Chairman Debbie Matz is coming to Missouri to hold a listening session with credit unions. It is an opportunity for credit union leaders to hear from Matz directly and ask questions. The event takes place in St. Louis on June 5 and is free, but limited to 150 people. The St. Louis meeting is one of six listening sessions taking place across the country.
The latest CUNA Regulatory Advocacy Report is now available, covering a range of issues including a letter from NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz . CUNA's Examination and Supervision Subcommittee will be following up on several of these issues, such as NCUA's examination review. The report includes:
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board met briefly on March 15 to address the agency's plan to implement requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act and a presidential order to federal agencies regarding diversity within NCUA's workforce, an update on the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund and a final rule that made some very minor changes to three NCUA rules.
On February 8, the CFPB held a joint Town Hall Meeting with NCUA, which was webcast. NCUA will not be archiving it for several weeks, so we wanted to provide a short summary.

Agile Defense, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Advanced Systems Development, Inc. (ASD), of Alexandria, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. HC1047-13-R-4000, issued by the Department of Defense, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for information technology (IT) services in support of the Joint Staff (JS) Directorate for Command, Control, Communications and Computers/Cyber (J6) and the JS Information Network enclaves. Agile argues that the agency improperly found that its proposal was technically unacceptable, and therefore ineligible for award.
We deny the protest.

Think "alternative fuel" and what comes to mind – natural gas, or maybe propane? Volvo Trucks North America believes it has one better: dimethyl ether, or DME, which it thinks is the real fuel of the future. Volvo, with the help of a small chemical company, financial investors and officials in the state of California, intends to get it to market as a motor fuel by 2015.

State High students learn about fracking, water quality in the field
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
RUSH TOWNSHIP — Marcellus Shale water quality monitoring is getting some help from a group of State College Area High School students who climbed through snow and waded into icy waters recently to take measurements and collect stream samples.
Called Teen Shale Network, the team of about 16 students and their teachers are part of Shale Network, an ongoing research initiative by the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute at Penn State and other institutions. Through Shale Network, professional and citizen scientists are collecting and collating data on water quality in regions where deep hydraulic fracturing is taking place.
"Any time that high school students get out into the field to do real science and see the importance of doing it right is great," said Gene Ruocchio, an earth systems science teacher at State High. "It's cool and it's actual science."
In fall 2013, the Teen Shale team picked out the spot in Black Moshannon State Park for background water quality monitoring. EESI researchers installed a sensor that continuously collects data at that location in January. Now, with training from those researchers, the team of students has begun collecting water samples and measuring the flow of the stream water. The data being collected include temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and turbidity. The samples will be chemically analyzed.
"The only way for people to monitor the water they drink is to go out and sample streams and ground water, which allows us to look for contaminants downstream," said Susan Brantley, distinguished professor of geosciences and director of EESI at Penn State. "The sampling the high school students are doing will help with those ongoing data assessments."

Cruzeiro stretches lead in Brazil
Cruzeiro scored early in each half to defeat Internacional 2-1 on Sunday, opening an 11-point lead in the Brazilian league.
FOX Soccer's Blog offers unique coverage of the world game. Join us.
Midfielder Nilton and striker Willian scored for Cruzeiro, which has won nine of its last 10 matches to move into good position to win its first championship since 2003.
Clarence Seedorf's Botafogo lost ground after a 1-0 home loss to next-to-last Ponte Preta at the Maracana Stadium on Saturday, while Hernan Barcos' Gremio moved to second place by beating Sao Paulo 1-0 at the Morumbi Stadium on Sunday.
Club World Cup champion Corinthians lost 4-0 to Portuguesa, extending its winless streak to eight matches and dropping to 13th place in the 20-team standings.
Defending champion Fluminense came from behind to defeat Goias 2-1 on Saturday, moving to eighth place.
Despite playing without injured star Ronaldinho, Atletico Mineiro defeated Santos 3-1 to reach fifth place. Ronaldinho ruptured a muscle in his left leg during training with Atletico Mineiro last week and is out for the rest of the championship. It's unknown if he will recover in time for the team's participation in the Club World Cup in December in Morocco.
Cruzeiro's win against Internacional gave the Minas Gerais team its biggest lead so far in the championship. With 14 rounds left, Cruzeiro has 53 points, while Gremio and Botafogo have 42. Cruzeiro's next three opponents are near the bottom of the table - Portuguesa, Nautico and Sao Paulo.
Nilton opened the scoring on Sunday just four minutes into the match in Novo Hamburgo. Otavio quickly equalized for Internacional in the fifth, but Willian gave Cruzeiro the win with a well-placed low shot from the top of the area in the 53rd.
Cruzeiro scored 50 goals and conceded only 20 in its first 24 league matches so far.
Internacional, led by former Brazil coach Dunga, lost for the third straight time, dropping to seventh in the standings.
Botafogo was upset by Ponte Preta, failing to overcome a 43rd-minute penalty scored by Ponte Preta forward Elias at the Maracana. It was the third straight loss by Botafogo, including two at home.
Gremio was outplayed by Sao Paulo but Eduardo Vargas' goal in the 69th was enough to secure the victory in front of nearly 40,000 Sao Paulo fans at the Morumbi. World Cup veteran goalkeeper Dida had an outstanding game for Gremio, making several crucial saves.
Sao Paulo has lost two in a row and again is near the bottom of the standings with 27 points, just two clear of the relegation zone.
Also Sunday, striker Gilberto scored three first-half goals as Portuguesa stunned five-time national champion Corinthians in Campo Grande, extending the struggles of the popular club which dominated Brazilian football last year. Corinthians has lost five of its last seven league matches.
Fluminense increased its unbeaten streak to six matches by rallying in the second half against Goias in Goiania on Saturday with goals by Jean and Rafael Sobis.
Flamengo moved five points above the relegation zone by routing Criciuma 4-1 at the Maracana on Sunday, while Rio de Janeiro rival Vasco da Gama remained in danger of demotion after a 0-0 draw against Bahia in Salvador. Vasco, which lost four of its last five matches, is only 18th in the standings, with 25 points.
Also Sunday, fourth-place Atletico Paranaense erased a 3-0 deficit but ended losing 5-3 against Vitoria in Curitiba.

apartment living
i live down stairs in an apartment complex. i have lived here for 2 months. (i have lived in other complexes downstairs previously but have never encountered the problem i an having now.) the problem is this ! my "neighbor" right above me is like a walking giant. (now i have seen him and he is not a large person) when we walks across his apt. my ceiling creeks, groans, cracks ect, ect. it is so loud that it wakes me at night. it sounds like the ceiling is going to fall down on me. and he is just walking, i can tell by the foot steps. no jumping or dancing ect. ect. just normal walking. what should i do to get some sleep? what can the management/owners do to get me some sleep at night? (it is a very large complex owned by a national company)
You can buy one of those white noise machines or just put a CD of ocean sounds on replay.
If that doesn't help then talk to him. Simply tell him that the sound travels and ask nicely if he can please try to walk lighter between 9pm and 7am or the hours you sleep. Calling management will do nothing but make him your enemy because they can't stop him from walking in his apartment.
Your first post sounded like you were complaining about the neighbor. This is different, talk to management and say it just like you said in your last post. That even if he would tip toe it sounds like the ceiling is going to cave in with cracking noises. The support beams could be damaged with water leaks or even termites.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and the price was right. The breakfast in the morning was also very nice.
It was very clean.
The room had an intense orange cleaning product smell. Don't know what they were trying to cover up but it could not have been as bad as the cleaning product. So strong it gave me a headache
The room was dirty. The bed sheets look like they were not change. there was hair in the pillows
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
