That was funny...
...and, I laughed my ass off. But really...that is the prevalent attitude of those who are here illegally, and those who support them. There are radical movements in the USA whose goal is to "reunite" the Southwest, inlcuding California, with Mexico. |

Taking Life By The Reins, is a memoir of love, loss, & faith. I take you through my life of difficult paths. From my first husband being killed in a gun accident. My second marriage of chaos between two people who had a past that could ruin our future together. Two stubborn people who blamed each other instead of taking a hard look at themself. Many years later and forgiveness was given, the marriage flourished. Curtis was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2003. Each and everyday of the next three years was filled with pain, saddness, and difficulties. If anything could go wrong it did for the two troopers who were determine to battle this ruthless disease. In 2006, Curtis lost his battle with cancer. The words spoken to Sandy was, "You move on with your life. My life is ending, but yours has not." Once again Sandy starts to rebuild her life.

Amigo June 05, 2013 9:40 PM Perez is just crashing and kissing on other drivers' ass. Reply Report abuse 1 agree 5 disagree
Amigo June 05, 2013 9:56 PM Last Edited 698 days ago Richard, I don't think Perez was paying for crash and destroying other drivers' race too.You should know why McLaren peoples are very supportive to Perez because they are expecting money from Carlos Slim.I bet, McLaren will drop Perez as soon as possible if Perez's sponsor from Carlos Slim and other Mexican's Tequila Booze Company Sponsor didn't come to McLaren in 2014. Mclaren does not have sponsor for 2014.So Mclaren is desperately hunting sponsors. That's why McLaren rush to sign Perez. There are many drivers a lot better than Perez but they could not competed money with Perez. So they can not get seat in McLaren. Reply Report abuse 2 agree 3 disagree
Taz June 05, 2013 11:55 PM It's not been reported here yet but Merc wil be going before the international tribunal. Reply Report abuse 1 agree 0 disagree
mrfill June 06, 2013 12:31 AM Seems to be some difference of opinion between Mr Michael and Mr Button.If this is the way SM wants to take McLaren, should we expect him to sign Maldonado for next year. Mmmmm..... Mexican AND Venezuelan dosh by the ton.Would keep the engineers busy too, rebuilding both cars after every race Reply Report abuse 8 agree 2 disagree
rob01 June 06, 2013 1:20 AM Perez is taking calculated risk. He knows he has nothing to lose. So when he has a driver in site with alot on the line he knows he can try something slightly risky. Usually the driver is smart enough to let him through. Kimi used the little head instead of the big head in Monaco. Perez is trying to impress a very good team and some including his team mate think he should back down. I personally like his head strong ways. Reply Report abuse 4 agree 8 disagree
elijah June 06, 2013 6:59 AM Perez is doing a good job from the point of view of doing what Whitmarsh asked of him. He's still learning race craft but with his speed will easily whip Button into second place if allowed to do so. Reply Report abuse 2 agree 5 disagree
zib June 06, 2013 8:51 AM Racing is what Webber and Alonso were doing at Korea(i guess). Poking your nose in someone's car always isnt racing. Reply Report abuse 0 agree 1 disagree
thelogicalview June 06, 2013 8:57 AM There is a difference between racing and causing accidents or making contact, it's a fine line but Perez needs to learn it fast otherwise he will be going down the same route as Maldonado and Grosjean Reply Report abuse 4 agree 1 disagree
Objective June 06, 2013 12:54 PM Perez is a menace on the track. He put Kimi out of the points which he desperately needs to have a chance the title. Perez has zero chance of winning a race let alone the championship and is just a spoiler for those who are fighting for the championship. Maybe he and Grosjean can take each other out in Canada ans save the other drivers some grief. Reply Report abuse 5 agree 4 disagree
richard June 06, 2013 2:27 PM objective. on re runs of perezs overtakes, including his prior attempt on kimi, space for the move was being constant at the 100m board. however, when he went for kimis inside, at the second attempt, kimi moved across. kimi knew perez was there and tried to block. at that time perez was committed and his car was pushed into the barriers. Monaco is always difficult, but you cannot blame perez for trying.people are calling for koba to be back in f1, but koba was known as kamikaze koba for a reason. so it is ok for koba to race and hit people, but not ok for perez to race?

I'm having problems keeping concentrated. I want to read a book but every 2 min I find myself getting up and doing something else, wasting time. What are some good ways of keeping focused for 30 min + ?
Have you been screened for ADD or ADHD? It can be treated with medication. Many of our members are taking medication to control this disorder and it has helped them tremendously. You might want to check with your doctor.
Sleep? "get rid of them, keep them aside" Ahem, graphene, we don't work that way, and "we" number about 20% of the human population, including some of the best and brightest. Evo's right, and there was a quite oustanding PBS special on ADD/ADHD recently. For some folks, our brains (yeah, me) are wired in ways which make most others somewhat uncomfortable by the way we do things or go through our lives. I've never been diagnosed, nor on medication, but I've little doubt that I'm one of "them." The thing of it is, somewhere along the line, I somehow learned to cope, at least somewhat. In short, I leveraged my extreme intelligence - (I'm not bragging, just gifted, Mensa, the whole nine yards) only to lead a rather ordinary life. Alcohol got in the way for a couple of years, because coping with the continual failure of not being able to rise to one's potential is a difficult, bitter thing. Had I been diagnosed at an earlier age and properly treated, who knows what I might have been able to accomplish? After dinner with my folks on Friday (yes, Jan 29,11) my Mom gave me a book recommended by the PBS special. If I could find it, I'd share it with you! Follow the link above, and it might be there. I can, and have, accomplished so many extraordinary things! Yet so many ordinary things seem so beyond my grasp. I have a hard time cleaning my apartment, yet I can do so in lightening speed, such as before anyone visits. The other night, when I was helping my Mom cook dinner and things went sour with the several steps I said, "I've got it, please have a seat," and rescued everything from what was headed towards disaster. I used to be a navigator in the military. I'd like to think that I was good at it, in that I always hit either the target or the bomb range on time (with two exceptions, actually fairly good over the course of one's career using visual means only). But there were far better Navs out there than I was. What I excelled at, in part because of add/adhd, was in "pulling the fat out of the fire." When the crap hits the fan, my brain goes into hyperdrive when everyone else's brain around me appears to go into gridlock. This happened several times in the military (during inflight emergencies such as engine or electrical fires) and when all was said and done, most just said, "what the heck just happened?" I've "pulled the fat out of the fire" in other situations, too, most notably while being grilled by commanders or general officers during either exercises or real-world events. Real, verifiable facts. Yet I've seen other officers "fired" (relived of duty/command) because they simply either locked up or couldn't pull it off. Two of the best navs in two separate squadrons failed out of a famous school because they could not "rise to the occasion." Yet they rose higher in rank than I did because I was cited as being "able to rise to the occasion." (rolls eyes) I think at least half the commanding officers in the military have it, to one extent or another. I'd rather not get into corporations, as I've only limited experience with that, but yes, I think it's rampant there, too. So - should we medicate and stygmatize half our military and corporate executives? No, BUT, I do think we should pull out all stops against any stygmatization, whatsoever, against ADD/ADHD, whether the kids or adults are medicated or not. We have so much to offer! Find us a place in society where we can utilize our gifts to help everyone else.
It only happens when I read something I don't want. If I pick something out on my own then I don't have problems. Distractions include coming here, eating, watching sports, etc. I don't think I have ADHD because 1) I've never had problems as a kid, and 2) I can be super concentrated at times, such as in sports and in exams, or when I'm researching something I want to find out about. ...or maybe I have some other disease, lol. Don't know.
Maybe you need a better studying environment. Go to a library its harder to get distracted. Also, I thought Tropicana is not from concentrated.
So can I. So can my son. That's one of the hallmarks of add/adhd. He and I both have it. It's not a detriment if you figure out how to flip it to your advantage. The problem is, most, perhaps more than 90%, people with it just can't get there from here. I wish I'd had meds back when I was in high school. I wonder where I'd be now.

After reading over this thread, I became quite emotional, even depressed, it definitely has driven my productivity down to 0 and kept me up at night for the last few days. Which is why I am writing this post, under a new account which I created solely for this reason. Only 4 people on this Earth, including me, know about this, so I would prefer to keep my anonymity a little bit. During my grade 12 year(September), I was diagnosed with ADD. I had started reading about it on a website, during this reading I was noticing these traits in myself and my history. Over a period of a couple days I discussed this possibility with my parents and they suggested I go to a doctor to get formally diagnosed, I did. He administered an oral test outlining aspects of my life, which would qualify me as having ADD. He prescribed Ritalin which I began taking in small doses. I believe the effect I experienced from the Ritalin initially was either a placebo effect, or a decrease in the difficulty of course material. During the first few initial weeks, my marks jumped from 70's to 90's without any extra application of effort on my part. After that, they returned to 70's, while I continued to take the Ritalin. I was told to go to my doctor and ask for an increased dosage if I didn't notice a change, but I had, or thought I had, over the first few weeks. I took the medication up to around April of the next semester, and nothing had changed in my marks. The reason I stopped taking the medication is that I believed since this is a problem with my own mind, I should be able to fix myself and work without medication, also I had read about ADD being over diagnosed, I thought maybe this is how it is, and I should just deal with it. As it stands, it's about two years later, and nothing has changed. I still have trouble concentrating, poor time management skills, and am very easily distracted, I find myself opening new tabs in my browser as I write this. Reading this thread has made me aware of the time I could be wasting, and the potential I have that I could not be living up to, hence why I am depressed. So I come to you for guidance. I am unsure of where to turn right now, should I go back to a doctor and get reassessed? Should I start taking medication again? Or am I just being unmotivated and lazy?

The last thing on your mind when grieving is remembering to send out a thank-you note to those who are there for you during that difficult time. However, it is appropriate to express your thanks to those who lent their support. The act of writing a note of appreciation is also a healing exercise that refreshes your perspective to see that you are cared for by many whom love and appreciate you too.
Keep in mind that not every person who deserves a thank-you note was present at the funeral; therefore, you might choose to thank each person who made the effort to show their sympathy and support in other ways.
Consider sending a thank-you note to:
- People who sent Flowers and/or Sympathy Cards
- Those who signed the visitor's/guest's register book at the funeral home at a time other than at the visitation or funeral because they could not attend either event.
- People who made donations to your specified charity
- People who donated their time and personal services (transportation, babysitting, medical care, etc.) or food
- Your Pallbearers
You may wish to post a public thank-you notice in your local paper as a way of thanking larger groups of people involved in the care of your loved one: the hospital and staff or caregiver(s), your clergy representative, the funeral home and staff, or any catering or transportation services that helped out in addition to the family, friends and associates who may have sent cards, flowers, donations, or made arrangements to assist during this overwhelming time.
*** A donation to a charity in the honour of someone or in memory will be acknowledged by the charitable organization, but you must also write a thank-you note to the donor.
*** Following a death, handwritten thank-you notes are written to people who sent flowers or donations; to those who helped with hot meals, hosted dinners, put up out-of-town visitors, lent chairs, or where otherwise supportive; and to all those who sent notes of condolence (exception: those who sent printed cards with only a signature and no personal message.) You may use the printed cards supplied by the funeral director if you add a personal note. When the person closest to the bereaved is unable to write immediately, a member of the family or a friend may write thank yous on their behalf. The notes don't have to be long, and don't even have to be sent as soon as other types of thank-you notes; traditionally, you have up to six weeks after a funeral. To keep track of who sent flowers, attached cards should be collected by a family member or funeral home official and a description of the flowers noted on each.
How to Prepare for and Write a Sympathy Note of Thanks:
1. Purchase simple (plain), good-quality stationery.
The occasion calls for quality paper and envelopes that are easily obtainable at any store selling paper products.
2. Write a simple thank you.
Be to the point and keep it short and simple; there is no need to write an essay. People understand what you are going through. Simply speak from the heart.
Some comments you might include:
- Recall a brief memory of how that person touched the deceased's life in a way that you are aware of and mention how it made a difference to you or to the person who has passed.
- Simply thank them for thinking of you at this time of great loss in your life.
- If they are really close to you and/or your family, you might also want to let them know how much it matters to you that they were there for you and your family, and how they have always shared the good and bad times with you and your family. Human connections are the treasures of life.
- Say everything from the heart and say it simply.
Write the thank-you notes when you can, and if you can:
As with any form of acknowledgment, it is best to send notes of appreciation for support as soon as possible after the event, although certain considerations are given to families that are grieving.
Please, do not feel pressured into writing notes when you aren't feeling up to it. For some people, writing the thank-yous might be a cathartic process that aids in their healing process, for others it might serve to get their mind off of pain, and for others it might be a way of reconnecting with people after feeling disconnected. Yet for some who are simply exhausted by what they are going through, writing notes is the last thing they can do or want to do.
Accordingly, do what is right for you. Just do what feels right. Delegate the duty to another family member or friend, or dictate the thank-you message portion if need be.
When you write a thank-you note, do share your thoughts and appreciation for what they have done for you. Focus on a happy moment that you or the person to whom you are writing shared with the person who died.
Ask helpers to send out the notes. If you aren't up to labeling envelopes, licking them, sticking on stamps and mailing them, request the help of a friend or someone else to do it for you. You'll find that people are more than ready to assist you.
Example of a Printed Note
(add a personal, handwritten message to each person on the bottom or back of the card)
The family and friends of Dr. Fred Baker
mourn his passing
and celebrate his life.
He touched all our lives in so many ways –
as a father, a doctor, a friend, a teacher;
His integrity and steadfast love for his children,
family, and friends;
His unwavering concern for and gentleness with
those who sought his help, and
His lifelong commitment to right-living
and teaching by example.
With love, the memory of his kind deeds and the
strength of his example live on.
Thank you for remembering him.
A Personal Note
Dear Bill,
The overwhelming flood of emotions has begun to subside. Taking each new day, one at a time. All that is done, sits in the back of my mind. All that there is to do, must start somewhere.
As I sit here, the numbness of my loved one gone reminds me of my grief. You reached out. Your caring touched me. Your love embraced me. Your strength helped me to find clarity and allow some peace of mind — for that I am thankful.
Great-Grandma Edna would often talk about you and how you taught her how to fish when nobody else would. She's the one who taught me. Thank you, Bill, for coming to say good-bye to Great-Grandma, and for the picture of the best fishing buddies in the world. I bet she's teaching the angels all your fishing tricks right now!

Thank-You Note to Clergy for Funeral
Your Address
City, State Zip
Dear Pastor Hoit,
My mother's death was a terrible blow for everyone in our family, but your heartfelt eulogy during her memorial service helped us all begin to move past our grief and toward an appreciation of who she was and where she is now.
I wanted to offer my deepest gratitude for the compassion and sensitivity you showed during your remarks. It's no easy task putting into words what such a woman meant to her family, her friends, and her congregation. You nevertheless managed to articulate how so many of us were feeling that day.
Your words were a rare comfort in what has been one of the most difficult times of my life, and for that I will always be indebted to you.
All my thanks,
Thank-You Note for Sympathy
Your Address
City, State Zip
Dear P.J.,
Your note came just after I returned from Wisconsin, where I buried my father. The solitude here and the recent loss weighed heavily on my mind, and your caring comments made things seem brighter. Thank you for writing.
After Tragic Accident
Dear Brian,
Thank you for your kind expression of sympathy after my son's tragic accident. We can never prepare for the depth of despair that such a sudden death brings, and the connection of our coworkers and friends helps tremendously to ease us back into the mainstream of life –- physically, if not yet emotionally. Thank you for your card and concern.
With appreciation,
Greg and Susanna
For Comforting Note After Surgery
Dear Sylvia,
I enjoyed the card you sent while I was recovering from my surgery. At such times, the minutes drag and words from the outside are so welcome! Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

I read the line as meaning something like she can't wear her hair natural (e.g. an afro) because this will affect her chances of getting a job.
This song's title maybe a reference to a Malcolm X speech:
I hear
"I turn a dime into a dollar"
in other words multiply my stack by 10x
Pennies from Heaven is also a musical comedy from 1936 starring Bing Crosby which ties in with the later allusion to Singin' in the Rain.
Here's a closer look:
I don't think any streetwalkers are wearing thousand dollar stilettos. Pusha may well be wearing these:
Astaghfirullah — is an Arabic phrase meaning "I ask Allah forgiveness." A Muslim says this phrase many times, even when he is talking to another person. When a Muslim abstains from doing wrong, or even when he wants to prove that he is innocent of an incident he uses this expression.
In this case Lupe is making clear that he is not saying something blasphemous (i.e. he is NOT claiming to be a prophet).
Looks like he said both — another Lupe homophone.
'Miuzi Weights a Ton' is also a classic Public Enemy song which contains these lines:
they call the law
And claimed I had started a war
it was war they wanted and war they got
but they wilted in the heat when Miuzi got hot
I think Lupe is saying he could fight them at their own game in their own way but he's chosen not to.
L.A.S.E.R.S — Love Always Shines Everytime Remember 2 Smile.
'I can see the lasers shooting out of you and me' — means he can see the inherent goodness in uncorrupted people.

Game Vortex
I can't say that this game will have instant appeal to any party audience. You've got to be a pretty good speller, and you've got to have a knack for word games. There's a lot of fun to be had in helping out your human partner/foe, but that's not really built into the game. The game itself could have been a little more robust, with some more incentives to win (you can win items of clothing, but that's just... silly), or at least some more modes of gameplay. Still, it's not a bad way to play some $1,000,000 Pyramid (or $10,000, or $25,000, or whatever you remember the best) with your friends.

Bend It Like Miss M.
Crow Collection presents the art of yoga
If you're anything like me, bending it like Sting or Madonna can be a bit intimidating, even though they sing their praises to yoga.

What a tasty way to prepare chicken! The Dijon adds a very nice tanginess to the salsa. I decided to serve this fajita style, so after browning my chicken breasts, I sliced them thinly. While doing that I threw a sliced bell pepper into the pan to saute, then returned the sliced chicken breast and added the remaining ingredients per instructions. Served with warm whole wheat tortillas. Wonderful meal that my partner and I enjoyed. Thank you for sharing!
This is my all time favorite chicken recipe! It is easy to make and takes so, so good. I started making this dish several years ago from the same cookbook. I have never met anyone who did just love this chicken dish! Thanks for posting it!
Ole and that's no bull --fight praise. This is a very tasty recipe that ends up with a wonderful moist chicken breast. I booted it a bit with Denzil's "Big Boy" hot suce but I love extra spice. I used 2% cottage cheese whipped in stead of sour cream and I wasn't sure what you meant by fresh chutney so I skipped that. I served it with new baked potatoes, new carrots & steamed brussels sprouts. I appreciated the suggestion to boil the marinade an extra minute - I am always careful if I use left over chicken marinade unless it is well cooked afterward. Thoroughly enjoyed this recipe Thanks giltkitty

Can't load Windows without plugging in the external drive
The only problem is I don't actually have my Windows disc. My university installed Windows 7 Enterprise on the system for me so I don't have a copy. I'm wondering if I install the Windows 8 Release Preview (which I was planning on doing anyway) if that will correct the issue. Also, I created a system repair disc in Windows but when I try to load it I receive a message in German (I think it's German, don't understand why that would happen) and then it proceeds to show the usual error message with grub_rescue |

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.44 / 5.00 3,139 ViewsThe George Bush Show 5: Bush and the gang are back and are getting ready for the 2004 election year. (Original Airdate: February 2nd, 2004)
WARNING: If you're a rabid Bush supporter, avoid watching this cartoon! You've been warned.
First off, I would like to thank Tom and the crew for putting this cartoon yet again on the front page. I appreciate your support!
Secondly, I would like to thank all the fans of the cartoon who have rated it highly and wrote extremely nice reviews. It looks like some of you guys are having a very spirited debate. I am happy to see this. This is exactly what needs to be happening. I wish everyone would stop thinking only about their parties and start thinking more about their country and fellow man. I believe Hinpiner expressed this idea best with his "Party of 1" review. George Bush is not freedom. George Bush is not Democracy. George Bush is not America. George Bush is only a man our country elected to work for us and be our President. His jobs include protecting us from harm, and protecting our constitution. He failed both of these in his first year. I was a Bush supporter in 2000 and voted for him. He let me down after passing the ill-conceived "Patriot Act".
People like ShrikeArghast are the problem with our country today. Read his review and you will see a shining example of hypocrisy . He rails against me for talking bad about the current President, but in the same breath bashes the hell out of the previous President. He seems to think it is fine for him to have an opinion, but others cant, unless they are the same as his. You were warned not to watch the cartoon, but you chose so anyway. That's your own fault, not mine. I have every right to make this cartoon and will continue no matter what you say.
For more cartoons, please visit my site www.ebolaworld.com
Another hiliarious episode....
I loved the Fox news parody, "Terrorist Tree" Hahahhahahaha.
This was the first one I watched. I saw The Bush Show and decided I'd start with episode 5. And by what I saw, I can honestly say that I will be watching a lot more. The graphics were excellent, excellent use of gradients and alpha fills. Excellent voice for Bush, creative ideas, excellent plot and humor. Brownie points to you!!!
"he's george, all he does is stupid"
Another job well done Sam, keep it up!
-Lime (who just now figured out about all the exp. point stuff and am here alot more and posting reviews of lesser quality because there are so many flashs'...and so little time)
All my 5 r belong to this
I love your Bush bashing, Im an Australian, will any one rip on John Howard and his eyebrows.
If you dont like this movie you can go to uranus...hehehehehehehehehehehehehe...uranus
This one was good.
I liked the stupid proposals and the "terrorist tree" incident.

Chemical elemental analysis
by Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX)
Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX)
Chemical characterization in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is performed non-destructively with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The electron beam stimulate the atoms in the sample with uniform energy and they instantaneously send out X-rays of specific energies for each element, the so called characteristic X-rays. This radiation gives information about the elemental composition of the sample. Chemical elements starting with the atomic number 6 (carbon) can be determined with this analysis method.
EDX Mapping (Element distribution images)
EDX mapping provides in addition to the conventional SEM image a meaningful picture of the element distribution of a surface. The acquisition times for a satisfactory resolution and noise performance can take from 30 minutes to 12 hours, because a complete EDX spectrum is made from each image point.

Psychiatrists disciplined more than other doctors, study finds
Although psychiatrists are only 7 per cent of all physicians, they made up 14 per cent of disciplined doctors between 2000 and 2009.

Psychiatrists are twice as likely than other Canadian doctors to be disciplined for professional violations, most often sexual misconduct, according to a new study.
Although psychiatrists are only 7 per cent of all physicians, they made up 14 per cent of those disciplined between 2000 and 2009. The cases were studied by Mount Sinai Hospital Dr. Chaim Bell, who published his findings last month.
"While the absolute rate of sexual misconduct is low, even a few clinicians who violate professional conduct boundaries can have great potential to harm patients, as well as public trust," Bell wrote.
The issue surfaced again this month, when a psychiatrist in London, Ont., was suspended by Ontario's College of Physicians and Surgeons. Police allege several female patients were videotaped and inappropriately touched.
Bell noted discipline for fraud and unprofessional conduct is also more likely for psychiatrists.
The group of doctors may be more at risk for "serious boundary violations" because of risk factors connected to them or their patients, Bell wrote. Previous research has found that therapists could be at risk for having an impulse to confide, while patients could develop excessive dependency.
The largest group of psychiatrists who sexually abused patients, categorized by a different researcher, were "lovesick" therapists, Bell wrote in journal PLOS ONE. They are typically neurotic or disturbed middle-aged men, who are isolated and "fall in love" with much younger female patients.
Bell found that 74 per cent of disciplined psychiatrists were men and the average number of years they'd practised before being disciplined was 33 years.
That could reflect a time when there was less focus on educating doctors about boundary issues, said Mount Sinai's psychiatrist in chief, Dr. Molyn Leszcz, who wasn't involved in the study.
"This study is an important reminder of how important it is for every physician, in every field they practice in, to uphold the very highest of professional and ethical standards," he said in a statement.

During the game, watching what each team did during the timeouts was quite telling. We were slow to our spots and wouldn't begin the team huddle portion of the timeout for quite some time. Then, we always disbanded the huddle long before time was up. Looking to the opposite side of the court, I saw UNI run to the huddle and gather around Ben Jacobson and spend the FULL amount of time huddled around him. We seem to have poor preparation before each game and those timeouts should be extremely valuabled to come up with some sort of game plan to help our lacking D or offense. I know there has been talk about this before on here but I just wanted to express my thoughts. I want Freddie to succeed so bad, and I know it is still early and as he gets more experience things will (hopefully) get better, but this process is very frustrating.

Description ---------------- The object of Rustmill is for a team to gain control of the bunker with all the toys: MP5 Grenades, a tracking computer, and a teleporter.
The bunker requires two people to open. Within is the key to dominating the map: the tracking computer. This device shows movement throughout the rustmill (indicated by a blinking green square).
The tracking computer has another use: teleportation. Players can stand on the teleport pads in the tracking computer room and shoot at a location on the map and be teleported there. Two players can teleport at a time and appear at different locations in the destination room.
Gameplay comments ------------------------------- Rustmill is the most fun when teamwork and strategy are used (rather than freely roaming around with guns blazing.)
A team of four can rule the rustmill when playing different roles: A commander, a base defender, and two attackers can coordinate to clean up the enemy very successfully. The commander studies the tracking computer and relays enemy positions to the attackers. The base defender protects the commander and bunker doors so the enemy cannot infiltrate and take over, and the attackers load up on guns and teleport into the rooms of the unsuspecting enemy.
Those who do not control the bunker.. well, good luck laying siege. The other team knows where you are...

Schrader T6 Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
From the prestigious and historic Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville.
A single clone wine of distinctive character, superb texture, and outstanding quality.
Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "A masterpiece. Capturing currant and blackberry fruit at the zenith of ripeness, this is smooth, plush and layered, with a mix of mocha, black cherry, currant and wild berry all flowing together in a steady stream. Firms up nicely on the finish, yet the flavors keep rushing through." -
The Wine Advocate - "The similarly-styled 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon T6 displays extraordinary focus and precision along with lavish amounts of creme de cassis fruit intermixed with smoked herbs, milk chocolate, and burning embers. Powerful yet silky-textured and sumptuously rich, this is another stunner to drink over the next 20-25 years." -
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Schrader's 2006 and 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon T6, also from my cellar, were showstoppers. I preferred the 2006 for its explosive, vibrant personality, sumptuous fruit and exceptional pedigree. The 2006 was flat-out breathtaking. Wow. " - View All
Schrader Cellars Winery
Founded in 1998 by Fred Schrader, Schrader Cellars is dedicated to bringing together the finest vineyard and winemaking resources available to create full-throttle, unbridled wines of great distinction and complex structure. Their programs focus on classic grape varietals grown in the famed Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, and the Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard in Rutherford. They are handcrafted by winemaker Thomas Brown in very limited quantities and are often defined by a single clone of a grape variety, a specific block within a remarkable vineyard or, in some cases, a matrix for the two. This intricate and involved method offers an extremely provocative and rewarding exploration of the influence of clone selection and terroir on the resulting wine. View all Schrader Cellars Wines About Napa Valley
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable Facts
Within the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.About California
It's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer Reviews
Sign In to Add Your Review0 }div>Alcohol By Volume Guide
Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

If a photon collides with an electron not moving, and you know the momentum of the photon before and after, and the electrons momentum, is it possible to know the direction of the electron and the photon after the collision?
If you know the momentum of the electron and the photon _after_ the collision, then by definition you know their directions! Momentum is a vector quantity!
You only know only the absolute value of the momentum after the collision. You know the vector of the photon before.
In general, your situation has no solution because it is over-specified: too much initial information, with only two unknown quantities. [added later: see my next post below] All of the momentum vectors lie in a plane, therefore we need to use only two components of momentum, e.g. x and y. We have three equations for conservation of x-momentum, y-momentum, and energy. In order to guarantee a solution, we need three unknown quantities.
If we know the momentum of e we know the Ke of e, and then we you know, by difference, the energy Es of the scattered photon ps. If we know Es then we know the direction of ps and from this we can get the direction of e, isn't it so?
He already knows (is given) the momentum of the scattered photon, therefore he already knows its energy. I just now noticed that he didn't say that he knows the momentum (or energy) of the incoming photon. If indeed he doesn't know that, then that is his third unknown quantity, and he can solve the momentum and energy conservation equations to find: the momentum (and energy) of the incoming photon the direction (angle) of the outgoing photon the direction (angle) of the outgoing electron
It's complementary, jitbell, I missed the second bit and you the first. The information he has is more than enough
Oops, I missed the "before." Yes, he can use your procedure, provided that the three values of momentum are indeed consistent with conservation of energy (which he should confirm, as a first step). If you give three "random" values for the momenta, in general they won't work because energy won't be conserved.

April saw a decline in year-on-year and month-on-month statistics
BEIJING - New data show that China's sluggish automobile market continued its recent downturn in April. Growth in passenger vehicle sales slowed to 1.3 percent year-on-year, the lowest level for more than two years, according to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) on Tuesday.
The nation sold 1.08 million of cars, sport utility vehicles, multipurpose vehicles and minivans during the month, a rise of just 1.3 percent from April 2010. However, sales registered a sharp decline of 13.1 percent from the March figure, the association said.
The minivan segment, which has been the market's major growth engine stagnated in April after the central government withdrew stimulus measures that have been in place for two years. Sales decreased 11.5 percent from the same month in 2010, and by 25 percent from March.
"The ending of the government incentive policy, a rise in petrol prices, car purchases and limits to vehicle use in large cities, plus the earthquake in Japan, all led to a slide in the domestic vehicle market," said Rao Da, secretary-general of the CPCA. He predicted a negative growth rate for the market across the course of the whole year.
Cui Dongshu, deputy secretary-general of the National Passenger Car Information Exchange Association, agreed with Rao.
"Negative growth started at the beginning of this month (May), with sales in the first week dropping around 8 percent over last year," said Cui.
Both Cui and Rao said they believe the market will face more challenges in the second quarter, as Japanese automakers slash production because of a parts supply shortage caused by the March 11 earthquake and the subsequent power crisis in their home country.
"The market share of Japanese automakers in China's passenger vehicle segment declined from 21.88 percent in March to 15.46 last month. Some of their major models are facing zero inventory and have to be sold with orders," said Rao.
He told China Daily that domestic sales in May will be adversely affected in the aftermath of Japan's earthquake. "Japanese automakers still need three to eight months to recover."
Dong Yang, vice-chairman of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, said that the rise in the price of petrol should not be ignored.
"If the oil price passes the barrier of 10 yuan a liter, it will be one of the major reasons to further slow down the automobile industry."
April saw General Motors Corp, the biggest foreign automaker by sales volume, register its first year-on-year sales decline for two years. Its sales of 203,400 units represented a fall of 4.6 percent from the same month in 2010.
However, the luxury car segment is still enjoying rising demand in the local market, as Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz unit reported growth of 46.9 percent year-on-year, with 16,500 cars sold in China.
Statistics from China's General Administration of Customs also indicate a promising future for the luxury car segment.
Vehicle imports in March hit a new record of 97,900 units, representing growth of 14.68 percent from last year and 70.97 percent higher than February's figure.

Portrait of an Artist-Actor
In Hollywood circles, the word "artist" is a loaded term. Actors think of themselves as "artists," but is that how we perceive them too? So many of them dabble in painting and photography. The list is long: Viggo Mortensen, James Franco, Pierce Brosnan, Jim Carrey, the late Dennis Hopper, David Arquette (he makes graffiti), Jane Seymour, Anthony Hopkins, Sylvester Stallone, Johnny Depp are just a few.
On Wednesday, Lucy Liu, who has starred in such movies as "Kung Fu Panda," "Charlie's Angels," and "Kill Bill," introduced a new book of her paintings called "Seventy Two" at the Tory Burch flagship store. Though it was drizzling outside, some of the works were being projected on the store's terrace. An actual installation of the work is currently hanging in London. Only 1,000 copies of the books have been printed, with some in limited editions. Prices are $325 and $995 for a limited edition, said a spokeswoman for Ms. Liu. The actress, who was surrounded by publicists, managers and other friends, said she didn't expect to earn any sort of profit on the project.
"I'm not making any money," she explained, as she flipped through the book. "And my publisher is not going to make any money, either. It's not like we're trying to get on the bestseller list. But it was exhilarating to make." (The publisher, she said, creates "museum quality" books for artists like Gerard Richter.)
The concept is thus: Ms. Liu painted 72 black-and-white abstract works. They were inspired by the 72 Names of God, "a power source" that taps "into the infinite spiritual current that flows through the world," at least according to the Kabbalah Centre, which offers a screensaver not related to Ms. Liu or her book. Ms. Liu's work is more tactile and thoughtful.
To accompany each name, Ms. Liu also developed an individual meditation, which can be found in the back of the book. Those, she said, were harder to create than the paintings, and "took a long time to write." For instance, the first piece she did in this series was based on the concept of "defying gravity," which will, for better or worse, always remind us of the musical "Wicked." Others include "Fearless," "Time Travel," Recapturing the Sparks," and "Miracle Making."
Ms. Liu's black-and-white painting of "defying gravity," she said, came quickly and to her "looked like a figure that was jumping." The associated meditation reads, "Lifting my anchor, I float. As I follow the current with purpose and self-assurance, I am elevated to a higher dimension of being."
"It can apply to anything," said Ms. Liu, who was wearing a black-and-white Giambattista Valli gown that matched her artwork. "It's very open and abstract. For instance, if someone is just getting out of a relationship. It's about speaking the right words."
"Anyone can write a meditation," Ms. Liu went on. "It's like poetry. It's about setting an intention and attempting to follow through. Sometimes when you focus on something, you can manifest it, and I wanted to put that in a compilation and promote the moment." She has been studying transcendental meditation for some time, she added.
In general, "it's a weird feeling to expose yourself as an artist." As for making her meditations available to a more mass audience, "I didn't think in that sense," she said. As it is, Ms. Liu explained, some friends told her not to include them in her book. "But it was my inspiration. I'm not afraid," she said.

We all know that Netflix Instant Watch isn't home to the greatest films. Every now and then you come across a gem or an old classic - but for the most part, Netflix ensures that your Instant Queue is filled with average, mediocre, take-it-or-leave-it movies.
So I'll admit that when I added Warrior, I was expecting the knock-off UFC version of The Fighter or The Wrestler. Even after glancing at the very favorable reviews on Rotten Tomatoes during the opening credits, I was still skeptical.
Color me surprised. To quote director Gavin O'Connor, Warrior is "not a fight movie" - not entirely. Its tremendous depth makes it every bit as good as the above films; in fact, it's one of the best I've seen in years.
The opening frames - an image of rosary beads dangling from a rear view mirror - sets the stage for our introduction to Paddy Conlon (Nick Nolte), a former boxer and alcoholic that, in his effort to stay on the wagon, listens to an audio book of Melville's American classic Moby Dick while traveling to and from a local church in a gray, unremarkable town. (This isn't the only literary reference in the film - we see a framed photo of Nietzsche up on a trainer's wall, and books by Hemingway on Paddy's shelf.) Paddy's return home one evening is interrupted by a surprise visitor - his estranged son, Tommy (Tom Hardy), who has a brown bag full of liquor, a pocket full of pills, and some questions for his father.
Tommy is bitter and aggressive; he references Paddy's drunk and violent past - the only version of his father, it seems, he's ever known; he patrols the room, taking slugs from the bottle and provoking Paddy's new-found religiosity. "So you found God, huh? That's awesome. Mom kept calling for him, but he wasn't around. I guess Jesus was down at the mill forgiving all the drunks."
We learn that Tommy, an ex-Marine, had been with his mother - Paddy's ex-wife - when she died a painful death. "You could've heard about her coughing up blood in a shit box with no heat. Having me rub her down with holy water, because she didn't have no insurance. All the while waiting for your pal Jesus to save her."
This tense first scene sets the stage for Warrior. The acting is solid and moving, the writing understated and elegant, and the direction masterful. Most importantly, the feeling is drilled into the audience earlier on that there is a lot more to this story than meets the eye.
Tommy, a champion wrestler in his prime, reluctantly moves in with his father and trains to fight in a massive UFC tournament in Atlantic City. At the same time, we watch his older brother, Brendan enter back into the ultimate fighting ring to help support his struggling family. Through bad-ass fight scenes and Rocky-like training montages, both men win our admiration and empathy.
But there is a current of drama that subtly rises beneath all of the action. Brendan faces off with his father in his family's backyard, also apparently for the first time in years, and spurns his attempt at affection and conversation; Tommy converses with a fallen Marine's wife, and tries to bury an act of bravery that he knows involves his own cowardice; and after being mocked and yelled at by his son, Paddy relapses in a hotel room.
The relapse scene is a glimpse into Paddy's monstrous past self, and into the years of alcoholism and abuse buried under both Tommy's and Brendan's struggle for peace in adulthood. We now see for ourselves a primordial image of the collective struggle of this family - all of the abandonment, regret, loneliness, rage, addiction, separation, and longing. Paddy, in his feverish relapse, expresses the fallenness that the three men still carry with them - but most importantly, his own regret: "We're all lost, Tommy," he says through exhausted, drunken tears. "We'll never make it back."
But an even weightier conflict comes toward the end when, after facing off on an Atlantic City beach to revisit the dissolution of their family so many years ago, the two brothers confront each other in the cage.
This may seem like a predictable plot twist, but it's actually a remarkable innovation that defies the conventions of this kind of fight-flick. Even while we see familiar sights - the cheering wife, the pumped-up coach, the wild crowd, the supportive co-workers and friends - the audience's heart is being pulled in two directions.
As director Gavin O'Connor says in an interview, "in most of these films, you know who you're rooting for when it starts, and you go on the journey. What I was attempting to do was say, okay so you're rooting for this person, and you're rooting for this person. And these two people are on a collision course...to fight each other. Now what? And that is emotionally complex...how the hell are you gonna resolve this?"
The answer to that question lies in the deeper currents of the film, which are hinted at - not only in the first frame, but also the last, which appears to be an image of Mary tattooed on Tommy's shoulder. "Warrior is not a fight movie," O'Connor states emphatically in an interview. "It's about spiritual redemption and healing." This transcendent dimension of the film, according to O'Connor, came from the influence of a close friend named Charles "Mask" Lewis who helped him start an apparel company called "Soul of a Lion" (a name which pops up on clothing throughout the film). That title stood for "the absolute number one in Charles's life" - and though he passed away after being hit by a drunk driver, Lewis had apparently reignited O'Connor's interest in his own Catholic upbringing.
The resolution is breathtaking, as O'Connor unfurls this vision of "spiritual redemption" on the audience like a tidal wave. The conflict in the audience's heart explodes into joy - a joy that makes the prize money totally meaningless. As O'Connor puts it in an online interview, "the person who wins needs to win. And the person who loses, that's his win...he needs to surrender. He needs to die at the hands of his brother to be reborn." With Tommy's tap-out and Brendan's last words on-screen - "I"m sorry" and "I love you" - all of the rage and angst of the former wrestling champ and Marine hero is surrendered; all of Brendan's fears of losing his house, his health, and his long-lost brother vanish; and Paddy watches, stunned and overjoyed, as his two sons march away from the fight, out of breath, battered, bloodied - and reconciled.
Five stars. KO. Warrior is a winner.
