Is there anyway to make wild blueberry bushes grow bigger blueberries? Currently, the bushes only produce very very small berries. Thanks for your help.
An existing plant is going to be genetically programmed to produce a certain type, size and sweetness of berry. That being said, all plants will produce differently depending on conditions. So, good soil, good sun, good water. Keep competing plants and weeds away. If the plant produces a lot of fruit buds, remove up to half of them. Good polination also produces bigger berries. Still, wild blueberries will never produce fruit the size of varieties that have been selected for large fruit.
Pruning some berries off might...a little. The commercial varieties have been developed through selective breeding practices and hybridization. The smaller berried bushes typically don't have the genetic potential for big berries, but random exceptions do occur.
The wild blueberry harvesters of the north east, more than a century ago, began gathering specimens that they found during harvesting that they deemed superior for one or several reasons. Big berries and small seeds, flavor, productivity, bush size, disease resistance, etc.
These crosses yielded the earlier and now rarely grown varieties such as Pioneer, Pemberton, Rancocas, Rubel, etc.
These varieties were later crossed and selections were made to fit a developing industry with mechanization in mind.
Varieties like Jersey were selected through these crosses and later crossed with other previous, distinct combinations to produce sisters like bluecrop and blueray.
So a great deal of selective breeding to bring forth recessive expressions of genes like size, and blueness or bloom, take a lot of sorting and only once in a while appear in nature. And it was these exceptional wild varieties that came together to give us our big fat berries. Some wild ones taste awesome. Use them in your muffins and relish their compact goodness.

Martin L. Gursky, 85, passed away Jan. 17, 2013 in Los Alamos. Martin was the moral, intellectual, economic and political compass of a close, loving and devoted family. His wit, wisdom and thoughtful counsel will be missed by family, friends and acquaintances alike. At his side since graduate school has been his devoted and accomplished wife Judith Cassidy Gursky.
Martin was born in New York City, N.Y. on March 19, 1927 to Mayer Gursky and Sonia Balen Gursky, who preceded him in death. He is also preceded in death by his only sibling, noted astrophysicist Herbert Gursky. His family relocated to Miami Beach, Fla. in the late 1930's. With his father ill, his strong determined mother supported the family by running a small grocery store in Miami, while instilling the value of education in her young sons.
At age 16, Martin entered Georgia Tech majoring in aeronautical engineering. Short of his graduation, Martin was drafted in the waning days of
. Martin was a Sargeant in the Engineer Corp, working on such vital projects as testing can openers by opening the other end of thousands of already empty cans. Vowing to leave the practical engineering of the Army behind, he returned to Georgia Tech, finishing his bachelor of science andmaster of science in theoretical physics. He entered Vanderbilt for his doctorate. He was joined at Vanderbilt by his brother Herb and met his soon-to-be wife Judith there. Martin and Judy were married on Aug. 23, 1952, in Atlanta, Ga.
On March 1, 1954, the day of the infamous Castle Bravo thermonuclear weapon test on Bikini Atoll, Martin started work in T-Division. He came at the behest of his former professor and mentor David Hill. Martin finished work on his dissertation in those early days and was awarded his doctorate in theoretical physics from Vanderbilt. One of the interesting memories of Martin and Judy was about arrival in the still closed town of Los Alamos and staying shortly at Fuller Lodge, when it was a hotel and restaurant and the only place to stay in town. The family lived in several lab housing assignments over the next several years before finally settled in 1961 in a home on Barranca Mesa, still home to the family.
Martin's career at the Lab was spent in T-Division and X-Division. There was even a six month period as a
for the Los Alamos Monitor during the budget cuts of the 1970's. Martin also spent years as an instructor at UNM-LA as the math department coordinator, teaching a generation of students before retiring.
One of Martin's real passions was politics. His first political fight was as a driving force in the process of self-government for Los Alamos and the transfer of services and property from the Federal Government to the County and its citizens, rather than allow them to go to private corporate ownership. He was on the original Charter Commission and later served several terms as a Democratic member of the County Commission. The then Commission, in the mid 1960's, presided over the transfer of government services, housing and property from the Federal Government to the County and its residents and the building of the much revered and maligned County Building overlooking Ashley Pond. He continued his activism throughout his life, among other things, running unsuccessfully for state legislature, championing and helping to direct the senior center to its success as a community organization and serving on many boards of numerous County and civic organizations. He was president of the Los Alamos Jewish Community during the acquisition of the site for and construction of the Jewish Center. He was named a Los Alamos Living Treasure in 2003.
Through the rest of his life, Martin continued as a public advocate for the thoughtful and restrained use of County funds and power. One of the images remaining from long ago is that of Martin and his Democratic political buddies in the family room playing poker, talking politics and filling the room with laughter, cigar smoke and the joy of a simpler time.
The real joy in Martin's life was in his lifelong dedication to his wife and large devoted family. Among his functions was a dedicated audience to a family of musicians and performers; was the primary family tennis instructor and playing partner; was little league and lassie league umpire when called upon; was the purveyor of age old disciplinary wisdom such as "stop crying or I'll really give you something to cry about"; but most of all he was the personal embodiment of parental guidance, support and wisdom. The family we enjoy is due to Martin and Judy's indelible example.
He is survived by his wife of more than 60 years Judy and five children: Michael (Diana Bittern), Philip, Kathy (Rick Bolton), Paula Lindgren (Tim Lindgren) and Daniel, as well as grandchildren Alex Morosco-Gursky, Leila Bittern, Michael Lindgren, Jonathan Lindgren, Josephine Lindgren, David Lindgren and Emily Gursky, and step-grandchildren Vanessa Morosco and Kris Spinka. Even divorce does not separate this family, as Martin is survived and beloved by ex-daughters-in-law Sibley Morosco and Kay Brown. Martin is also survived and fondly remembered by his brother's family, wife Flora, sons David and Robert and family.
Martin will be interred at Guaje Pines Cemetery in a private ceremony. A public memorial celebrating his life will be announced later. The family acknowledges the outstanding care and assistance of Dr. Tyler Taylor, Darlene George and Arlene Garcia in Martin's later years. Martin was a strong believer in the institutions that bind and support the community, so in lieu of flowers or gifts, please make a contribution in his memory to the Los Alamos Jewish Center, the Unitarian Church Building Fund, the Los Alamos Senior Center, the Los Alamos Concert Association or other local institution that supports the needs of the community.

Ever since I fired my first handgun, a Colt Diamondback .22lr, I've been addicted to handguns.
I have four already, a Colt Match Target .22lr, a Heritage Arms .22lr/.22WMR revolver, a Umarex 1911 Government Model .22lr, and a Walther P1 9mm.
I've been shopping around and found several handguns I would love to own but am having trouble deciding which one to get.
I live on a large piece land owned my Grandmother, but many members if my family live in a very close proximity to each other. Black bears, bob cats, and coyote are becoming prevalent around here. I'd like to have a gun for defense against the bears particularly. The guns are a $630 Ruger Blackhawk. 357 Magnum, a $400 used Glock. 45ACP, or a $370 Taurus .357. Which would be best for defense and to be somewhat concerned?

I meant concealable. I should mention that I'd like to be able to conceal it as to not make anyone around me nervous.
Have you ever shot a bear?
I would consider getting a rifle.
The handgun is a tool used to get to the rifle.

I wouldn't really consider any of them a great option for bear or concealability. They can be concealed, I carry a glock 20 when the weather permits a cover shirt, but it isn't really an option in the summer. That said of the choices I'd go ruger or glock.
I don't need No stinking signature.
No, I've never shot a bear. I have a Winchester 1894 .30-30 with a 16" barrel that would probably be a more effective tool. But, I'm hoping to have a smaller, easy to carry rig.
Thanks for the response!
I hadn't considered spring or Sumner carry, but that's a really good point.
Thanks for the response.
What about a .44 Ruger revolver (I love the classic Redhawk) and some bear spray.
A Mossberg 500 with their "defender" package would be the cheapest option. It would also be sending the biggest chunk of lead at Yogi's sorry ass. Put a sling on it; who finds a slung shotgun scary afterall.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
I have a Ruger Blackhawk. It's a fine weapon, but not one I would want to pack on my side for long periods of time. It's a bit too heavy and just too nice for use as a utility/work gun.
I would love to have one! But the only one I've found at LGS is an Alaskan. But, it's out of my price range.
The bear spray is something I am planning on.
Thanks for the response.
The Blackhawk is a beautiful gun and is pretty weighty. All of he good things I've heard about it is why I want it.

|Half Baths
|Property type
We invite you to share in our island paradise on the east coast of St. Maarten at Dawn Beach, located on the Dutch side, and just minutes from the French side of this beautiful dual nation island. Our unit is a spacious luxury suite in a boutique condominium hotel located in the prestigious residential area of Oyster Pond, and nestled into a bluff overlooking the spectacular crescent shaped Dawn Beach.
Dawn Beach is a short walk or drive from the condominium where you can relax under the palm trees with a cocktail from the beach bar, snorkel just off the beach, unwind at the nearby spa, enjoy a great meal at the local restaurants, or take your chances at the casino. There are many world class beaches and restaurants just a drive away or take a day to cruise to Anguilla, Saint Barthélemy, or Saba, beautiful islands which can be seen from St. Maarten/St. Martin.
The ocean views from our unit are breathtaking and can be enjoyed from the covered portion of the balcony off of the living area or from the sunny balcony off of the bedroom. The 1,000 square foot unit is fully air-conditioned and can comfortably sleep 2-5 people. The newly furnished master bedroom has a luxurious king-sized pillow-top mattress, and the living area also has a queen sofa sleeper and a twin sleeper. The full bath has tile, marble and granite with a jetted tub/shower and the apartment boasts an additional half bathroom.
The kitchen is fully equipped with beautiful granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances as well as a microwave, blender, toaster, and coffee maker. Dishware, flatware, stemware, cookware and utensils are provided for those who prefer to dine in. Grocery and gourmet shops are just a short drive away.
The spacious living area contains satellite television with Netflix, a queen sleeper sofa and a twin sleeper. The dining area provides comfortable seating for four around the dining table and there are two barstools at the granite breakfast bar.
The condominium property offers an exercise room, laundry facilities and a beautiful pool all available for your use. Wireless internet is available in the apartment as well. A safe, iron and board, and hair dryer are provided for guests' use while vacationing in our St. Maarten getaway.
Our family lives in upstate NY near Saratoga and the beautiful Adirondack Mountains. This picture was taken on the ferry boat ride to Pinel Island after one of our wonderful stays on St. Maarten.
Barb purchased this condo in 2012
We enjoyed an amazing day on Dawn Beach while visiting St. Maarten for one day as part of a southern Caribbean cruise. We fell in love with St. Maarten and decided to look for a property near Dawn Beach. When we found this property we knew it was the perfect vacation home and that others would enjoy it as much as we do.
This condo and its location on the Dutch side provides the best access to this beautiful Caribbean paradise. Dawn Beach is more relaxed than other areas on the island but is just steps to the French side of the island and not too far from the night life in Philipsburg.
The condo was just as described. Owner was great to work with and gave great tips. Very clean and everything needed in the kitchen to cook. Wonderful views from the balcony. Staff very helpful with directions or anything you may need. Very peaceful and always felt safe. For a perfect beach day try Pinel Island. Water is crystal clear and calm. Also did a day trip to Anguilla from the Westin which was very convenient. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quite and peaceful vacation.
My wife and I spent a week at this lovely location in St. Maarten. The unit was a perfect fit for our vacation. The accommodations were outstanding and the ocean view of St. Bart's was amazing. We have traveled to many location's, and we both felt this was one of the most beautiful and relaxing. The island offer's two unique opportunities to experience the French culture and the Dutch culture. The owner gave us many excellent sightseeing and dining options to pursue. While staying at Princess Height's, it became the first property on the island to receive the prestigious Green Key Eco-label certification. Day trips to Pinel Island and Anguilla were fantastic. Looking forward to a return trip to this location next year.
My partner and I were traveling to St. Maarten for our 10 year anniversary. This was our first time to The island and didn't know where to begin our hotel search. Thank goodness for VRBO and this unit! The owner was so helpful in answering my many questions. She replied quickly and offered suggestions for sightseeing and dining on the island. I was nervous about renting a condo in a country that I've never been to but everything was perfect! The unit was exactly as described: very clean, modern furnishings and decor and breathtaking views of Dawn Beach. As others have mentioned, the unit has everything you may need for your stay including a full kitchen, which was very useful for those nights when you just wanted to curl up with some take out and watch Netflix! The location is also convenient to the Oyster Pond area as well as very close to the French border. A rental car is a must on St. Maarten/St. Martin regardless of location so getting up and down the hill was no problem. You can walk to The Westin or Dawn Beach, if you don't mind stairs. We cannot stress enough how kind and helpful the staff at Princess Heights was. Very professional , knowledgeable and courteous. The property was well maintained and the pool area was immaculate. I cannot wait for our next trip to the island and look forward to staying in this unit again. Thank you!
My wife and I have been going to St. Martin/Sint Maarten for over 20 years and this condo is one of the nicest units we have ever rented. The facility is beautiful, the view is spectacular and the owners are wonderful to deal with. The unit has everything you will need for a great vacation. Dawn Beach itself is just across the street from the condo and there are lots of very good restaurants in the vacinity. We will definitely try to rent this condo next year when we return to the island and we are recommending it to our family and friends.
My husband and I were part of a family group staying at Oyster Bay resort . We had planned to walk back and forth but found the hill and heat too much . Luckily there was a rental car we could use . The condo was very comfortable and the view spectacular . We had a great week .
I just returned from a wonderful and relaxing trip to St Martins staying at a princess heights condo. This property meet my expectations far as the amenities, location, and wonderful view. The close proximity to weston and oyster pond provided easy access to great water activities and a nice assortment of restaurants to enjoy without having to take a long drive. The owner was very helpful by providing pre-trip emails to give suggestions on restaurants and activities and answer any questions. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for beautiful location and nice appointed condo in dawn beach.

Try it a few times and you'll get it. If you crossover more naturally the other way you can try that as well. A few of my friends do it the other way I just find the other easier and it seems to flow better, but its all about personal preference/comfortQuote:

Sync on Heavy is a excellent example to do cross-overs. Most other people would tell you to play songs like Rhythm & Police and Exotic Ethnic but the cross-overs in those songs are much tougher but then again I learned how to do them in Rhythm & Police.
I can pretty much pass every 10 except for some of the more tougher ones (PSMO, Legend of Maxx). There are some that I have yet to try though.
:rolleyes: .... wow I played DDR like 4 years ago, and man, did I ever play.... *hurts thinking about it* I was addicted to the music and staring and dancing and staring and dancing and staring and well... more dancing dancing DANCING !!!
I personally AM SICK OF DDR..... I mean, I still love it, it just pains me to see that screen ever again. I am done with the DDR. *cries*
ahhhh how tragic. I recently got into DDR, and I think it's awesome. I'm definatly not the best, but I still like playing! I like oh what's it called? Tsaguri? something like that.
It's Tsugaru. You were way off.
i think it's alright. too much happy techno for me i think. they need to have like some ghetto beats in that hiz house. like the instrumental to Headsprung by LL Cool J. song's got a phat beat. i'd definitely bust a flow to that tune.
yeah R and P are more then crossovers though as you have some odd patterns if you look at it one way but they do flow, just more of a back and fourth shuffle lolQuote:

Alex Versus #4: Chosenby Benedict Jacka
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This time last year, I could go weeks without seeing another mage. In mage society I was an unknown and, all in all, that was how I liked it. It's hard to say what changed. Whatever it was, I got involved in the magical world again and started getting myself a reputation.
Alex Verus's insights into the future used to be the best-kept secret in London. Now, with the aid of his apprentice, Luna, his unique investigative talents are all the rage. He just has to be careful about picking his employers, because everyone—even the beautiful woman who practically begs him to run security for a prestigious tournament—has motives that can be hard to predict. And Alex doesn't do unpredictable.
But his latest gig just might be impossible. Apprentices have been vanishing without a trace—and someone on the Council could be involved. Alex has no evidence, no witnesses, and no suspects. All he knows is that someone is keeping tabs on him. And after assassins target Luna's classmate, Alex sees that he doesn't know the half of it—and that he could be the next to disappear.
"Jacka puts other urban fantasists to shame with the fourth Alex Verus novel (after Taken), a stellar blend of thoughtful philosophy and explosive action populated by a stereotype-defying diverse cast. Verus, who can see myriad possible futures, has carved out a niche for himself in an alternate London divided between equally self-serving 'Dark' and 'Light' magicians. Having taken in three troubled students — forthright curse-wielder Luna, quiet life mage Anne, and sullen fire mage Variam — he's not quite sure how to help them find their feet. Then Verus is attacked by Will Traviss, whose sister Verus abducted back when he was a naïve Dark apprentice. Besieged by Will's gang of adepts, Verus reluctantly enlists hard-hitting allies, wanting to protect himself and his wards while sympathizing with the vulnerable young idealists who commit violence in the name of righteousness. The protracted final battle is both dramatically destructive and emotionally brutal, with Jacka never letting any character get away with easy answers to the hard questions of life in a perpetual magical war zone. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
I dont publicly advertise that Im a mage, but I dont exactly hide it either, and one of the odd things Ive learnt over the years is just how much you can get away with if youre blatant enough. Hide something behind smoke and mirrors and make people work to find it, and theyll tear the place down looking for whats there.
Alex Verus is a diviner who can see probable futures—a talent thats gotten him out of many a tough scrape. But this time, he may be in over his head. Alex was once apprenticed to a Dark mage, and in his service he did a lot of things he isnt proud of.
As rumors swirl that his old master is coming back, Alex comes face to face with his misdeeds in the form of a young adept whose only goal is to get revenge. Alex has changed his life for the better, but hes afraid of what his friends—including his apprentice, Luna—will think of his past. But if theyre going to put themselves at risk, they need to know exactly what kind of man theyre fighting for
Benedict Jacka's acclaimed Alex Verus series continues with Cursed.
Since his second sight made him infamous for defeating powerful dark mages, Alex has been keeping his head down. But now he's discovered the resurgence of a forbidden ritual. Someone is harvesting the life-force of magical creatures—destroying them in the process. And draining humans is next on the agenda. Hired to investigate, Alex realizes that not everyone on the Council wants him delving any deeper. Struggling to distinguish ally from enemy, he finds himself the target of those who would risk their own sanity for power...

I have both openflower and gmash successfully installed onto my pc. I understand from the manual how to creat the geo and msh files, but I cannot see any guidance on how to create my first flw file which according to the manual is necessary for openflower t perform a calculation. Please advise.
The easiest way to make a flw file is to copy one of the examples and modify somewhat. I have done a lot of trial-and-error as there is not much documentation. Here is what I have found so far:
TimeBegin 0.0 // Obviously, the start time
TimeEnd 5.0 // Also obvious, end time
MaxTimeSteps 5000 // This kills the simulation at a given timestep, whether or not it has reached the end time. This is useful to deal with divergence.
CFL 0.5 // This is the accuracy knob. Small numbers (close to 0) cause the simulation to go more slowly, while large numbers (close to 1) cause the simulation to go faster. Turning it down helps with convergence of tricky systems.
Medium water
rho 1. // density
mu 0.004 // dynamic viscosity
Algorithm AlgoNavierStokes { eqn1 } // I am using the navier stokes equations
Mesh gmsh
file simulation.msh // this is the path to the mesh file
surface 922 inlet // the physical surface number defined in gmsh
surface 923 outlet // ditto
surface 921 walls // ditto
Equation navier_stokes_incompressible eqn1
Medium water
// boundary conditions block
boundary_condition wall walls 0. 0. 0. // specifies that walls mean velocity of 0
boundary_condition velocity inlet 0.1 0. 0. // constant velocity in the inlet of 0.1 in the x direction
boundary_condition pressure_outlet outlet 0. // constant pressure on the outlet
operator diffusion
operator convection
solver GMRES
// Initial_Condition File eqn1.save
Initial_Condition Expr 0. 0. 0.
// Post_Processing block
global gmsh eqn1.Velocity 0. 1000.0 0.05 // the last number here, 0.05 defines the amount of time per output frame. In this case, openflower outputs one .pos file that can be read by gmsh every 0.05 seconds.
// global gmsh eqn1.Pressure 0. 1000.0 0.01 // same for pressure. I only cared about velocity, so I commented it out.
probe eqn1.Velocity 0. 1000. 0.001 position 0.5 0.1 0.1
Hope this helps!
Thanks for this. I'm curious though: in your first paragraph you make reference to example files (presumable you mean example flw files).
Well, my openflower installation folder contains only the binary file. The gmsh folder contains demos and tutorial folders but I couldn't see any flw files, only various geo, i1, script. Could you elaborate please?
I offered to volunteer to write furter documentation for novices such as me; no reply as yet. Is worth considering some sort of openflower wiki?
To get the examples, download the source bundle from the downloads page. They are paired sets of geo and flw files. The wiki is a good idea, but I don't think openflower is documented well enough to be fully usable yet, and making such documentation would be very challenging without the input of the developers. If you are trying to do simulations rather than develop a cfd, I would check out the gerris flow solver (gvs.sourceforge.net). It is an open sourced cfd, much like openflower, only extremely well documented and extensively and actively developed.
Thanks for your advice.
It's a pity the developers do not appear interested in openflower any more...

A liberal Saudi blogger who was sentenced to endure 1,000 lashes for "insulting Islam" has been temporarily reprieved from his 50 weekly lashings after a board of doctors ruled his body is incapable of taking any more lashings in the near future.
After sentencing 31-year-old Raif Badawi, who operated the a blog called "Free Saudi Liberals," to 10 years in prison, 1,000 lashings and fining him about $266,060 for "insulting Islam" in his writings, the Saudi government has received international pressure for doling out such extreme punishments to someone who simply wrote on his own views and opinions.
The sentence of 1,000 lashes by a cane was arranged for Badawi, a father of three, so that he receives them in increments of 50 every Friday during the course of 20 weeks. But after receiving his first set of 50 lashes on Jan. 9 in the city of Jiddah, Badawi had not been subjected to the punishment in the two following weeks. more >>
Sitting as a celebrity judge on Sunday night's 2015 Miss Universe beauty pageant in Miami, world-renowned Filipino, Christian boxer and politician Manny Pacquiao asked Miss USA what she would say if she was given the opportunity to speak with "global terrorists."
As the final five contestants in the pageant were tasked with answering a question from a celebrity judge, whose name they picked randomly out of a hat, Miss USA, Nia Sanchez, went first and selected Pacquiao's name from the hat.
Most questions at beauty pageants ask what contestants think about world hunger, education and other pressing humanitarian issues, and in that vein, Pacquiao questioned Miss USA on one of the biggest underlying global threats to civil society. more >>
As thousands of women and girls are being raped, abused and victimized as part of the Islamic State's sex slave operation in Iraq and Syria, one Iraqi man is buying ISIS sex slaves in order to free and reunite them with their families.
In the Islamic State's sex slave market, captured religious minority women, girls and even babies are sold to militants and supporters willing to dish out good money for a new jihadi bride or woman they just want to abuse and hand off to their buddies when they are finished.
Although many find it unethical to participate in the Islamic State's human trafficking market that helps fund the terrorist organization that has killed thousands, one unnamed Iraqi man is purchasing ISIS's sex slaves not for phyiscal pleasure but to give them freedom. more >>
After the North Miami Beach police department was discovered to have been using mug shots of African Americans for practice at a firing range, several members of clergy from around the world decided to take action and started a movement with their images and the phrase #UseMeInstead.
Rev. Joy M. Gonnerman and other pastors from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Facebook group discussed how to respond and what they could do to encourage change.
"Maybe we ought to make it harder to pull the trigger, and volunteer to put pictures of their family up," Gonnerman suggested. more >>
Oklahoma's Attorney General Scott Pruitt has asked the Supreme Court to stay several executions while it performs a full review of the procedure that has had disastrous results in the past.
"The families of the victims in these three cases have waited a combined 48 years for the sentences of these heinous crimes to be carried out," Pruitt told CNN, but he also noted that the state has an obligation to "ensure justice in each and every case."
Oklahoma has come under fire for its execution procedure, which involves the use of Midazolam. The drug has reportedly caused severe problems and, when used with a combination of two other drugs, does not immediately cause death but instead pain and suffering for inmates. The question is whether the drug should continue to be used and whether Oklahoma's procedure constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. more >>
The leader of Pakistani politico-religious party Jamaat-e Islami is claiming that the Western "extremist standpoint" on the freedom of news organizations to publish "blasphemous caricatures" of Islam's prophet Muhammad will ultimately lead to World War III.
In addressing the thousands in attendance at a Friday protest over the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which publicized cartoons portraying Muhammad, the influential chief of the Jamaat-e Islami party, Sirajul Haq, demanded that the United Nations make laws designed to prevent the media and others from mocking religious personalities.
Haq explained that the West's leniency and tolerance in dealing with those who mock Islam by publishing Muhammad's image could lead to yet another Great War, The Express Tribune reports. more >>

Jaw dropping.
This member has provided no bio about themself...
Jaw dropping.
Well this definitely looks better then the last model I saw. But that was also a few months ago.
Going to feel bad watching these get destroyed...
We require addition MAC platforms.
We'll make them remember.
so does the MAC fire 3 round Salvos? I remember the refitted Pillar of Autumn being able to do that.
External cargo bays are a nice touch.
Needs more dakka
Now thats a Cerberus cruiser!
The Illusive Man would be proud...
Creator ship.
I hope they don't attack us with a fleet of these...
April fools day...
Bulls-eye Class?
Looks good.
I think its missing some auto cannons though.
This vehical's doors are problematic...
i believe that is the A-DSD you are talking about, not the DSD1 which is pictured.
the K1 is basically a M1, but it has some differences...
i recommend replacing the M3/M1126 with the K200 and K21.
having a carrier deploy Frigates... Heavy Risk... but the prize...
are we able to position the bunkers? or do they work like in the vanilla game?
that fuel tank on the left is screaming to be blown up...
big Frakkin ship...
hope this works
Mustard Gas will suck
best Stuart model in my opinion
Sherman III, my main tank in my Flames of War days
looks like a bunker and a farm... anything that isn't being shown here?
Soviet Tech. there was only one tank battle during the whole Vietnam War.
Radio operator looks good.
very good skin.
your moving very fast.
i thought the UN only had a blue helmet...
i think this area may have some heroic last stands
looks great.
so... what will she do?
when you say reward replacement do you mean like what EF did with Royal Marine commandos?
looks good, what weapons does it have?
are the 2 north bridges destroyable? or will we just have to mine/barricade them?
keep it in the Mass Effect mod bro.
SAS in Early game are really good. and are good for taking enemy territory when their not looking.
ah yes "Reapers", the immortal race of sentient starships supposedly waiting in dark space...
one of the best stories on the market right now though.
its a good thing CoH doesn't have many urban maps, this should change things up a little
well... um... we're dead...
To bad we wont see your hand crafted models in the final cut.
So much for Raptor being the TA Corvette in Rebellion.
Really going to miss those Vipers though.
Windows are structural weaknesses.
*Geths out*
I'm going to miss the Battlestars to. Mostly because i never got to use them because i didn't have a working gaming computer.
I thought that hay in the bottom right field were craters...
Look at the size of that thing...
I wonder how many strike craft squadrons it has.
Whats this? Missiles?
Yes... But is it destroyable?
Covenant Destroyers are in the Cruiser family right?
Was that a Covenant ship?
Those Longswords need to start their attack run.
Krogan Melee Soldier is great!
I noticed it, did think it was intentional though.
I really missed this design once the Dred.'s got updated.
Good to see it back in some form.
Yes but... Does it have cup holders?
Baby Kodiak?
I will miss the BSG ones, but their replacements look great.
Probably deployed from a random Type-45 Destroyer...
KSK. Not many people seem to know who they are, good to see them in a mod for once.
Do they have a AOE healing ability? Because Japan for the most part only send there troops out of country for Humanitarian aid missions...
Before people make jokes, French Marine Commando training is one of the toughest within NATO.
Joint Task Force 2 For The Win?
Australians in the House!
So... whats the new main menu song, and the new songs for the TA?
Is that a cooler on that tank?
So, will the notes actually move or are they just for show?
In all honesty it looks finished to me.
Still as elegant as the first model.
Dat Stern.
Dat Port side.
We think this vessel is needed to round out the Collector section of the Old Machines fleet. Further more, as you organics say, "Dat" gun.
Not sure about this, we are still building a consensus.
NOW she looks like a Cerberus ship.
SR2 type Normandy needs some re-sizing...
I think i've seen something like this before... But it was FLIR and in video format...
Yes, but is it rated for Atmosphere?
i thought the Russian Army used AK-74m/AK-101 rifles now?
or are these for civilians?
i also had a concussion for two months.
believe me, a type III on the Cantu scale is not fun, even if time fly's by...
feels more like five...
i like it
what role will this fill?
this ship has a impressive kill record
*a while Reaper appears*
*epic battle begins*
i see a Reach rocket hog in the back.
i also see you added the gunners, nice detail.
ok, seemed odd because i remember seeing an alliance fighter.
why are Turian fighters being launched from a Human carrier?
have you seen their ships, hey have no shielding but a lot of guns, better just to hide.
Covenant ships may have a chance though...
DoV being a threat? so its a war of the SciFi Universes...
*puts on Helmet* we need to get to the bunker RIGHT NOW!
good thing i have Russian ancestry... Товарищ [Лидер имя здесь] Приказы, служить мне свои головы на тарелке!
took me 2 hours to find out how to switch this thing over to Cyrillic... i think it was worth it...

Fiddle Tunes for Two Violas composed by Stacy Phillips. For Viola. Squareback saddle-stitched, Duets. Fiddle Tunes. Beginning. Book/CD Set. 128 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.98151BCD).
ISBN 9780786648221. Fiddle Tunes. 8.5 x 11 inches.
This book contains a selection of fiddle tunes arranged for two violas. The idea is to supply a sampling of melodies that will be fun for beginning players. One of the drawbacks of the classic way of teaching viola is the boredom of some of the early pedagogic repertoire. This book is meant to be an antidote to that tedium. Fiddle tunes are great ways to become accustomed to typical manipulations of major scales and to introduce the sound of arpeggios. The tunes were chosen for their fun melodic content while demonstrating some typical aspects of fiddling. They are grouped in five categories: fiddle tunes, slow tunes, bluegrass, jigs, and rags and swing. The included split-track CD demonstrates many of the tunes with guitar accompaniment.

Texas Architect March/April 2015
Last year, Dallas accepted the 2014 100 Resilient City Challenge, agreeing to tackle ageing infrastructure, chronic energy shortages, flooding, and terrorism.

Dating my Iron skillet
I was given an iron skillet from my mom, which has been passed down through my family....It is heave has two spouts, it has a lot of age pitting on it, black...yet i keep it treated. On the bottom it has N at the top then below am L and an either I or 1 not sure....but no other markings. My family is from Carroll county VA....just trying to find where it was maid and by whom as well as a year.
If memory serves me, the Number refers to the size of the burner in wood burning stoves that it would fit with. You used that certain numbered skillet or pot with the corresponding burner. The letters are pattern molds of the skillet or pot. There may also be a smaller letter which represents the maker of the item. Foundry men had letters to show which man made what pot. Erie and Griswold are early cast iron makers. NancyLouise

Marine Corps Middleweight force practices live, virtual training during LSE-14
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
August 04, 2014
MEB Logo (Photo by Stock)
United States and Canadian military forces are scheduled to participate in a Large Scale Exercise from 8-14 August 2014 aboard Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, California.
As a 1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade led bilateral training exercise, LSE-14 is designed to develop U.S. and Canadian military force crisis response capabilities through a series of simulated and live training events across a range of military operations. The main focus of this exercise is to increase the functionality and effectiveness of the I MEB command element when called upon to organize, deploy and employ military forces on a moment's notice.
I MEB's forces during LSE-14, composited from 1st Marine Division, 1st Marine Logistics Group, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, will consist of 3,700 military members that will conduct long range raids, casualty evacuations, live-fire events, defensive operations, and close air support in response to exercise scenarios. The 5th Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group, U.S. Agency for International Development, Marine Corps Special Forces Command, and Marine Forces Cyber, will also work to develop processes and procedures as a unified team alongside I MEB forces.
A notable highlight during this exercise is the heavy integration of constructive and simulated training activities tied in with live fire events that offer the warfighter a diverse range of experiences during a short period of time. From AV-8B Harrier pilots simulating air strikes in response to actual troops on the ground to the use of an automated battlefield picture that offers command and control staff the ability to test current and emerging warfighting tactics without expending funds for ammunition and fuel.
Exercises like LSE-14 provide realistic, relevant training necessary for effective global crisis response expected of the United States Marine Corps. For example, the Marine Corps has sustained a MEB presence in Afghanistan since mid-2009 with rotational forces from I, II, and II Marine Expeditionary Forces. Additionally, Marines were called in to action as a MEB in 2013 to provide humanitarian and disaster response support after a tsunami ravaged the Republic of the Philippines.
Ultimately, the increased instances of natural disasters and threat-induced crises around the world require a MEB with composited air-ground forces that are scalable, rapidly-deployable, self-sustaining, and task organized to the mission at hand as required by ground combatant commanders.
Media interested in covering the exercise should contact MEB public affairs officer, Capt. Staci Reidinger, at email@example.com or at (760)763-7047. The I MEB public affairs office will also provide military news coverage that will be distributed via www.dvidshub.net, the I MEB website, and on the I MEB Facebook and Twitter sites.

It's worse than that. I have been getting google ads in my POSTS to various forums, including slashdot!
Slightly off-topic, but have you considered getting a trailer hitch at ehitch.com? I understand you can get a great deal there.
Brand loyalty does not really play into feminine hygiene products, because as soon as a woman finds a product she likes, they discontinue it.

Don't like? Adblock ftw.
Definitely. Whenever I see
Heh, I just clicked on the link for your reply in my email, even clicked on the parent link (went to my post) but it didn't come up. I had to use Firefox to see your post. Normally I use chrome + "smug adblock user post" blocker and don't see posts about how cool adblock is.
Not tempted to turn on smug adblock users blocker all the time
If the shift key is broken, they probably haven't gone shopping for a new one. As a result they probably aren't being stalked by shift-y advertisements.
Use an ad blocker? I'd have one less thing to complain about, and bitching and moaning are two of my favorite pastimes.
To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so.

Most people are not aware of what custom military coins are and what they are used for. There are so many of these coins that some people actually collect them for a hobby. The origin of these coins is quite interesting. There are many different stories, but the simple point is that challenge coins represent a long standing tradition in the military.
A challenge coin is supposed to show that a person is a member or affiliated with a certain organization within the military. The modern day punishment for failure to bring the challenge coin at a meeting was to buy each and every other member a round of drinks.
Today, challenge coins are collectibles. More often than not, people who collect them are military personnel themselves or just simply fascinated with the kind of camaraderie and bond that military service personnel have with one another. One famous person for collecting challenge coins
Challenge coins are more popular today than they have ever been. Below are a few instances were custom military coins have had a presence in popular culture.
In television
The popular 1990's TV show JAG was an American legal drama that had a very military feel to it. The show centered on two members uniformed lawyers. These lawyers worked for the Department of the Navy's Office of the Judge Advocate General. In other words, they were military personnel who functioned as lawyers.
The show was a smash hit and created a spin off show in the form of NCIS which also produced another spin off. By the end of the series, the two were at a crossroads on who between the two of them would quit their career in order to join another to a new duty station. A challenge coin was flipped in order to determine who would retire, but the audience was never shown how it fell.
In one of the episodes of NCIS, the character Tony is given a challenge coin by the United States Secretary of the Navy, SecNav for short, the character explain how being given a challenge coin is a sign that a person has rubbed their elbows with someone from the top brass.
There are plenty of other shows were military challenge coins were featured. Sometimes the challenge coin is used as a device in order to show that a person has earned their place within the group. Challenge coins have become a sort of shibboleth or gold standard for showing that a person is associated with a certain organization within the military.
Among presidents
Some presidents are known to have collected, received, or used custom military coins during their administration.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton was known for having a large collection of challenge coins given to him by U.S. service members. His collection is prominently displayed on the credenza of his desk in the oval office in one of his pictures. In fact, this portrait serves as the official portrait which is hung in the White House.
On September 2007, George W. Bush had an unexpected and short visit to Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq. During his brief visit, George Bush was given a challenge coin by one of the marines who belonged to a patrol unit.
Finally, current U.S. President Barrack Obama used challenge coins to commemorate the death of some soldiers killed back in 2009 during the 2009 Fort Hood Shootings.
Whether people are aware of them or not, collecting challenge coins has risen in popularity throughout the past several decades. Custom military coins have become so popular that other organizations, such as firefighters, police officers, and etc. have begun to use them for their own.

REASON 67: Because Obama opposes the Supreme Court's Citizens United Decision.We are in the first presidential election since the Supreme Court decided that money equals free speech and the money is flowing freely. According to Harry Reid, seventeen angry white men are currently engaged in buying the country. They've had their fingers on the scales for quite some time—writing legislation, buying representatives, suppressing the vote, and busting the unions. But the court's decision in Citizens United has allowed these men to take this to a whole new level. Financial corruption of the democratic process is now perfectly legal. In the United States, the Supreme Court has declared that democracy is for sale.

Split-Leg Apron Pattern?
draconisskyeDecember 7, 2006
Does anyone have or know where I can find a pattern for a split-leg potter's apron? The only one I have been able to find was in Pottery Making Illustrated, Vol. 4, Issue 4 back in 2001. My local library has online access to their archived articles, but the DIAGRAMS don't show up! How is this useful if they get rid of the paper copies but have incomplete information on the web?
So does anyone have a pattern they could share, please? I want to make a couple for my Mom, who is just getting into this pottery thing.
