UT Arlington In The News - Monday, January 28, 2013
Political science chair outlines Michelle Obama's s agenda
KDFW/FOX 4 interviewed Rebecca Deen, associate professor and chair of the UT Arlington Department of Political Science, about First Lady Michelle Obama and how she will likely use her husband's second term in office to leave her own legacy. "I think that one thing that's been clear about Mrs. Obama is that she has wanted to focus on issues that are important to working women. And I would see that she would continue that," Deen said.
Professional organization honors chemistry associate professor
UT Arlington Associate Professor Kevin Schug will be honored with the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Award for Young Investigators in Separation Science at the Pittcon 2013 conference in March, Lab Manager reported. The award, sponsored by Agilent Technologies and administered by the Analytical Division of the American Chemical Society, recognizes and encourages outstanding contributions to the field of separation science by a young chemist or chemical engineer within 10 years of their highest degree. Pittcon is the world's largest annual premier conference and exposition on laboratory science. It is organized by The Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy, a Pennsylvania not-for-profit educational corporation which is comprised of the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh (SSP) and the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP).
TV stations discuss economics assistant professor's research
Joshua Price, a UT Arlington assistant professor of economics, cautioned against judging Delmon Young's new contract with the Philadelphia Phillies without knowing exactly what went into the negotiations, WCAU Channel 10 in Philadelphia, KNTV Channel 11 in the Bay Area and many other websites reported. Some of Young's contract is linked to weight loss. Price worked with John Cawley, who runs Cornell University's Institute on Health Economics, Health Behaviors and Disparities, on a weight-loss study.
Assistant professor of sociology says society wants heroes
The Buffalo (NY) News interviewed Krystal Beamon, UT Arlington assistant professor of sociology, about Super Bowl-bound Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who despite being linked to a double murder in 2000, is highly celebrated and often commended for his Christian faith. "We adopt this narrative that he's reformed and he loves the Lord and he's a better man," Beamon said. "We want to believe that. That's how important sports are in our society and how much we want heroes."

Location: Ayora, Valencia, Spain
Project Architects: Fran Silvestre , Mª José Sáez
Project Team: Pedro Vicente López López, José Ángel Ruíz Millo, José Vicente Miguel López, Fernando Usó Martín, Javier Cardós Elena
Interior Design: Alfaro Hofmann
Site Area: 477 sqm
Project Area: 230 sqm

The building is located in a landscape of unique beauty, the result of a natural and evident growth. The mountain, topped by a castle, is covered by a blanket housing through a system of aggregation by simple juxtaposition of pieces generated fragmented target tissue that adapts to the topography.
The project proposes to integrate into the environment, respecting their strategies of adaptation to the environment and materials away from the mimesis that would lead to misleading historicism, and showing the time constructively to meet the requirements of the "new people." In this way the house is conceived as a piece placed on the ground, joining in the gap. A piece built on the same white lime, the same primacy of the massif on the opening, which takes the edge of the site to have their holes and integrated into the fragmentation of the environment.
The indoor space is divided by the void that is the core of communication cut parallel disposition of the mountain without touching it. On the ground floor are the garage and cellar, on a volume it has two floors with four rooms. Two of them, the rooms at the intermediate level are open to the private street, the other two on the upper level overlook above the houses opposite, the Valley of Ayora. One of them, the study is opened in turn to the central double height, incorporating it into their space. Across the gap, and on the mountain, are the areas facing the garden day illuminated by light reflected on the south slope of the castle oxidized.

The last week of July was a big week for the U.S. stock market as 22 companies went public. The share launches was led by Synchrony Financial (NYSE: SYF), which is expected to raise $3.1 billion, making it the largest initial public offering (IPO) in 2014.
It would the busiest week since August 2000 when 28 IPOs listed in the U.S., although according to the Wall Street Journal blog, it is 25 not 22 companies that are holding IPOs this week.
The Synchrony IPO eclipses the $2.6 billion that Ally Financial (NYSE: ALLY) raised in April.
Synchrony, a spin-off of manufacturing giant General Electric (NYSE: GE) and its financial arm, will sell 125 million shares at a price range of $23 to $26. The company is valued at $20.4 billion and according to its IPO filing, Synchrony had reported revenue of $10.5 billion in 2013. Its shares will start to trade on the last day of the month, July 31.
Besides Synchrony, other IPOs worth studying are Catalent (NYSE: CTLT) and Mobileye (NYSE: MBLY).
Cetalent, which aims to raise $871 million through the sale of 42.5 million shares between $19 and $22, is a global provider of oral, injectable and respiratory drug delivery technologies.
Mobileye, which targets to raise $500 million with the offer of 27.8 million shares ranging from $17 to $19, is a software and camera-based technologies designer for advanced driver assistance systems, based in Israel.
Other than the three, the others are mostly smaller offerings expected to attract investors in specialized areas such as biotechnology. Fifteen of the companies are raising below $100 million.
Big-time IPOs may appear attractive to new investors because of the size and volume involved, plus in the case of Synchrony, it is linked to a manufacturing giant - GE - which has established itself as producer of quality consumer products ranging from refrigerators to cameras.
Having a parent company like GE would help investors determine if an IPO is worth buying since newly listed companies are trickier to analyze due to the lack of sufficient historical information, according to the website Investopedia.
Another good gauge when studying IPOs is if it is supported by bigger brokerages. But Investopedia cautioned newby investors from IPOs that are pushed by smaller investment banks, which could be willing to underwrite any listed company.
However, whether the brokerage is big or small, still be wary of underwriters who are basically salesmen and often intentionally hype up the IPOs, "often presented as 'once in a lifetime' opportunities."
Of course, for sure, there are stocks that are "cheap bargains" during the IPO, but just after days soar in value, giving the buyer a tidy profit.
These IPO tips, part of the investor education offered by brokerages, stock exchanges, financial experts and online providers like Investopedia, are part of the scientific approach to managing stocks using tools.
Another company offering investor education is InvestView, (OTCQB: INVU), a Red Bank, New Jersey-based company that has made it a mission to make available to the public products that will help individual investors find, analyze, track and manage their portfolio. The company does it through its online education, analysis and application platform that provides analysis, tools, education solutions and an application.
It delivers subscription-based financial education courses delivered through InvestView's web site. InvestView also allows new retail investors to use the portal's subscribed information on a 2-week trial period for $9.95.
But the other side of investing, especially buying during an IPO, is the art side to it, characterized by a combination of gut feel, tips from knowledgeable experts and even luck, especially when unforeseen circumstances take place such as geopolitical events that influence the outcome of the markets.

It's definitely for a child that doesn't want to carry a baby's bible.
Nice size. The only problem I have is the font set up. The text seems crammed to paragraphs and the verses are not labeled clearly (numbered). A little rough on the eyes. Takes a little time to get used to. Will keep it and continue to look for a better book. It's a great start but would not consider it to be "the" bible for my child. -

He loves it. It has only a few color pics on the inside, which is kind of a drawback. The cover is a basic hard back book cover, which works well for him (better than a nice leather cover) since he tends to set his bible down anywhere & everywhere after childrens church to go play basketball with the other kids. The pages are a little thicker than a standard bible, which is good for kids since they tend to be rougher while turning pages, so this eliminates some of the tearing ability.
I think this bible, at the rate he is going now, will last a few more years, as much as he tosses it around. But by that time, he'll be old enough to graduate to a nice leather bible anyway. -

NEW SHOW REVIEW This documentary takes you behind the scenes at the last Presidential election cinema verite style, gazing not just at the candidate but at the folks who helped him get elected. It's a superb, intimate glimpse at a remarkable man and a seminal event in American history - no matter what you may think of how well he's doing on the job. It's a revealing portrait, as you'd expect Obama comes across as likeable and engaging, his family charming and unaffected. Michele especially reveals herself to be tough-minded and an equal partner in the endeavor, this campaign was truly a family undertaking. It's also a reminder of how close we came, for better or worse, to having Hillary Clinton in office; after all Obama's election was the ultimate come from behind win, the plucky underdog who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. What you take away from this program is the idea that indeed anyone can grow up to be President one day and that might be the lasting legacy of the last election. It's also a good counterweight to the cartoonish image of the President as portrayed by the TV news gasbags. By the People: The Election of Barack Obama airs on HBO starting Tuesday at 9:00pm.

Free Subscription & E-newsletter
By Robin Hocevar
In this age of simulated mannequins and iPhone apps to prepare for the NCLEX, James Gennari, BSN, RN, TNS, applied his "old school" nursing education to save a soldier's life in Afghanistan.
Last January, Gennari was alerted that a 22-year old with a live rocket grenade in his leg while was en route to his makeshift OR in Musa Qala, Afghanistan. Medical staff were forewarned they couldn't all rush to the helicopter because that increased the risk for sudden explosion.
Once presented with the young patient, the East Chicago, IN, nurse relied upon therapeutic touch, conscious sedation and jaw thrusts which guided him through the most dramatic episode of his career and saved a soldier's life.
"I talked to my old professor at Purdue University-Calumet and told him to tell his students old school counts," he reflected. "Everything I did was simple stuff. The first thing in the training manual is the most important: identifying myself, saying I'm here to care for you."
Day of Infamy
His approach was low-tech but Gennari's mission was anything but simple.
As department head for a mobile ED and shock trauma platoon, Gennari dealt with lost limbs on a daily basis. His mobile OR suite was attached to a resuscitative surgical system. Much of his work consisted of stabilizing soldiers in the golden hour. If quick resuscitative surgery was necessary, Gennari would often be involved in debridement of above and below the knee amputation.
On Jan. 12, a medevac helicopter transported a patient with a live explosive device still lodged in his leg. As policy dictated, he couldn't go inside the clinic for treatment, lest he endanger the lives of the other patients. One wrong move could trigger an explosion.
"So I went out there and stayed with him," Gennari said. "He was out there all by himself. I told him I was his nurse and I'd stay by his side until we got that thing out of his leg."
"I told him, if you ain't leaving, I ain't leaving," Gennari recounted.
With that, the two discussed protective clothing options. In the end, they opted to wear only flak jackets, which is similar to a bulletproof vest and helmet.
"If we put on suits, we wouldn't be able to move around as much," he said. "We decided not to wear any protective glass equipment because we'd blow up anyway if the device exploded. Why die sweaty?"
With that said, the explosive device specialist removed a 14" rocket propelled grenade that was embedded up to the patient's buttock in three tugs. Concurrently, Gennari administered pain medication and kept the airway open. Because of the extra narcotics, the patient had no reaction when the device was removed. Gennari then initiated a jaw thrust until the soldier had spontaneous respirations. The hole in the patient's leg was three-quarters of an inch in diameter, so Gennari tightened the tourniquet.
The entire episode took approximately 7 minutes, Gennari estimated.
Momentarily, the stretcher bearers arrived with the shock trauma platoon. Two surgeons applied non-pneumatic pressure dressing. The patient had good circulation, so they intubated and prepared for critical transport to a Level III facility, which is the military equivalent of a Level I trauma center.
After the 65-mile trip to a hospital the British and U.S. Army personnel, the patient's leg was saved and he started rehab therapy back in the U.S. Today, he can bear weight on the leg.
VA Nursing
Mobile adult day health program earns award for delivering care to military veterans in rural areas.
Lifetime Bond
Seven months later, Gennari is also back at his regular post as nursing clinical and administrative manager for general surgery, ENT, and urology at Capt. James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, IL.
He's never followed up with a former patient, but felt compelled to call when he learned the patient was recovering in Washington, D.C.
"He didn't remember much, except that someone with glasses and a moustache told him he wouldn't leave until the thing was out of his leg," Gennari said.
A few months' perspective also helped Gennari come to terms with the enormity of his actions. Given the opportunity, he said he would do everything the same, including the decision not to send a subordinate to remove the mortar, which would've been permissible because of his high rank.
"I did consider it at the time, but I knew that if someone panicked, there would be a higher risk of the device blowing up and killing everyone," he said. "I knew I wouldn't panic. I'm 52 and this isn't my first deployment. It was everyone else's. I'd never ask someone else to do something I wouldn't do myself."

He is a co-founder of the rock band Dire Straits, spending three years with them. After quitting the band, he embarked upon a solo career as a recording artist.
He initially created smaller record labels, publishing companies, and indie labels.
Knopfler has encouraged the advent of online purchasing music in 1995, although he concedes the necessity for other avenues of the distribution and sale of recorded music.[1]
His book Bluffers Guide to the Rock Music Business (ISBN 978-1-903-09617-8) was published in 1996.
Life and career[edit]
Early life[edit]
Knopfler was born in Glasgow,[2] Scotland, to an English mother, Louisa Mary, a teacher, and a Jewish Hungarian father, Erwin Knopfler, an architect.[3][4]
At the age of two, his family moved to Newcastle upon Tyne, England, where he grew up, and eventually attended Gosforth Grammar School.[2]
By age 11, he owned a guitar, a piano and a drum kit, and by age 14, he was playing and singing his own compositions in folk clubs.[5]
After attending Bristol Polytechnic, he became a social worker in London, where he shared a flat with John Illsley.[6]
David Knopfler's older brother Mark Knopfler also played the guitar. David introduced Mark to John Illsley, a bass guitarist, and after gaining the interest of drummer Pick Withers, the four founded the rock and roll band Dire Straits.[6] One of Mark Knopfler's friends came up with the band's name; supposedly a reference to their financial situation at the time the band was beginning to gain notice in the music industry.[7] David however, asserts on his website that "[t]he notion that the band were literally in dire straits is largely retrospective myth making and not really factually supportable. We all had day jobs until we got a whacking big advance from Polygram".[8]
David Knopfler played rhythm guitar beside his brother, who was lead guitarist to the band, and David appeared on Dire Straits' first two albums: Dire Straits (1978) and Communiqué (1979). The stress of composing, arranging songs, recording the then-requisite two albums and tours to support them took its toll on the brothers, and David left the band during the recording of their third album, Making Movies (1980), leaving him uncredited on the album.[6] There is concert video footage, however, of David playing with the band live on several tracks of this album.
After leaving Dire Straits, Knopfler released his first solo album in 1983, titled Release. Mark Knopfler and John Illsley both played on the album.[6] Harry Bogdanovs, a lifelong friend of Knopfler,[5] is credited with co-writing three of the tracks and playing synthesizer.[9] The album was supported by the single "Soul Kissing" on the label of Peach River Records. The single was a minor commercial success, peaking at #82 in the UK Albums Chart,[10] after Knopfler retrieved the rights from the bankrupt record label.[11]
Behind the Lines, his second album, was released in 1985 and his third solo album, Cut the Wire, followed in 1986.[6] In 1988, the U.S. label Cypress Records released his fourth album, Lips Against the Steel.[12]
Knopfler scored the soundtracks for the films Shergar (1984) and Laser Mission (1989),[6] and the German productions Treffer (1984), Jakob hinter der blauen Tür (1989) and Der grosse Bellheim.[13]
Since 1990[edit]
Lifelines in 1991 released by Phonogram, was recorded in Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios. That album was followed in 1993 by The Giver,[6] released by MESA/Bluemoon in the U.S., and Ariola in Europe. Its sparse, acoustic arrangements received positive reviews, as did 1995's Small Mercies, which Knopfler co-produced with Harry Bogdanovs,[6] featuring Chris White on saxophone.[14] In 2001, Knopfler worked with Bogdanovs again to co-produce the album Wishbones, which has guest appearances by Chris Rea[6] and Eddi Reader. His ninth solo album, Ship of Dreams, which also included Chris Rea, was released in 2004.
In May 2005, he published a book of poetry, Blood Stones and Rhythmic Beasts,[6] which was released by the UK's BlackWing books (ISBN 0955026008).
The U.S.-Canadian jazz label Justin Time Records released Ship of Dreams in October 2005 with an alternate rendition of "Tears Fall" featuring Megan Slankard (replacing Julia Neigel on the original European release).[13] Knopfler's tenth solo album Songs for the Siren was released in 2006.[6] Recent songwriting projects with other artists have included sessions with Amilia Spicer, Mack Starks, Megan Slankard and Wendy Lands.[15]
He played various acoustic and electric gigs in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Canada, Turkey and Australia from 2007 to 2009 with Harry Bogdanovs and his band.[citation needed]. A new double CD Acoustic, which contains unplugged renditions of new and old songs was released in 2011.
Knopfler continued to tour in Spain, Germany, the UK, the United States and Canada in 2012 and 2013. The first-ever limited edition live album, Made in Germany (recorded in Erfurt, Germany during the 2012 tour with Bogdanovs), was released in April 2013 exclusively via CDBaby.com.

He is married to art professor Leslie Stroz,[16] and has one son with former wife Anna Perera.

Students at the University of Baltimore will learn how to survive a zombie apocalypse this semester and they'll actually get school credit for doing it now that U of B has introduced its new Zombie 101 class.
The class will have students watch classic zombie films and read zombie comics (jealous yet?), and instead of essays, students will write horror scripts or draw storyboards for their own sick, twisted zombie adventures (we're officially jealous). The class is no joke and neither is the gory material it covers.
"I want to reinforce the degree to which this material can be found offensive by a lot of people," said Jonathan Shorr, chairman of the university's school of communications design. "This is not fluffy bunny cartoon stuff. Bunnies might show up, but they'd probably be torn to pieces."
Awesome. This is a perfect time to remind you that more zombie goodness will be on the big screen in the summer of 2012, when Brad Pitt plays the lead in the adaptation of Max Brooks' post-zombie-apocalypse book "World War Z."
Obviously the only way to end this post is with this.

There's growing concern among some scientists that Texas' drought could linger through another dry winter and return next summer to more deeply ravage an already water-stressed state, according to Eric Berger, writing in the Houston Chronicle:
"I've started telling anyone who's interested that it's likely much of Texas will still be in severe drought this time next summer, with water supply implications even worse than those we are now experiencing," said John Nielsen-Gammon, the state climatologist and a Texas A&M University professor.
In the short term, there's little relief in store. Houston topped 100 degrees (101) again Monday, beating the record of 32 total days with temperatures reaching the century mark set in 1980 (not consecutive).
Rain chances through the end of the month are low, although isolated showers could break through the high pressure during afternoon hours this week.
But the odds of sustained, widespread rain showers are low for the foreseeable future, and the climate outlook for this winter isn't much better.
so, to ask the obvious…what's the status of greywater codes in Houston and rest of state? Are there any new initiatives that can be rolled out?
It seems very logical that my daily shower, dishwasher and sink use would be more efficiently used to keep my foundation wet, toilets filled and trees watered.

> The Bottomless Keg of Ale (Kenderventure)
"Accck, you doorknob of a kender, 'careful wit that hammer."
"Sorry Wedge. It slipped."
"Slipped you say?!?!? Nay, 'ay knew ye did that on purpose!"
"I said I'm sorry!"
You were walking down the street and around a corner when you see the strangest sight you have ever seen. A dwarf balancing a kender on his shoulder as the kender hammered into place a sign. All along the alleyway to the far end, (where there stood the doorway of a disreputable tavern), was a long line of gnomes, dwarves, and >gasp I thought I was alone in the dark... Now, I Know I am Alone In the Dark... Marc
OOC: I'll join just let me think of which character I should use. And 1 Q: Do I have to be a gnome, kender, or dwarf. Its fine if yes but I just wanted to know. "Do, or do not, there is no try' -Yoda "Empire Strikes Back"
OOC; I'm in for definate, but same question as above, do I have to be a Dwarf, Gnome or Kender charecter?"Ah, they have a cave troll....."
OOC: Same question as the two above...I'm trying to decide whether to use my kender character Kylie Tusslemop or be different and use my half elf, Kylana Starglow and her kender companion Amburrtail- Kylana is quite fond of kender, after all.
Peace and terror all in one, My future life has just begun.....
OOC: GAAAAH!!! You can use anyone, even your kitchen sink. LOL! Kenders and their friends are always welcomed in this thread :D :D :D I thought I was alone in the dark... Now, I Know I am Alone In the Dark... Marc
"I'm telling you Kylana, this is the best inn in town! Tavern brawls, renegade mages, mercenaries...you name it, they've got it! And its real cheap to stay in for the night!"
"I don't know Amburrtail," the half-elf female said. "This inn doesn't sound like a great place. The woods charge us nothing to sleep in them."
Amburrtail frowned, her mahogany topknot drooping seemingly in sadness. "Aw, come on! You never want to have any fun! Come on, its right around this corner...."
Kylana and Amburrtail rounded the corner into a small alley...and ran smack into a crowd of gnomes, dwarves, and kender. Kylana quickly gathered her pack and money pouch and held them high above her head. Standing at 5'9", extremely tall for a half elf, she was almost twice the height of the assembled crowd.
"My goodness!" she exclaimed. "Since when do dwarves, gnomes, and kender convene in the same place? Gnomes don't like to leave their inventions behind, kender would get bored and wander off, and dwarves won't have anything to do with the other two."
Amburrtail's eyes were wide with wonder. "Wow! Look at all the kender! I wonder what they have in their pouches!"
The mismatched twosome were immediately set upon by a large crowd of kender, all of whom remarked at Kylana's height, fondled her short sword, plucked the string of her bow, and wanted to know what Amburrtail had in her pouches.
Kylana left Amburrtail to her newfound friends, who were all passing around balls of string, shiny rocks, pieces of colored glass, and a fine ring or two. The half-elf walked over to where most of the crowd was gathered, and she couldn't help but giggle at the sight. A kender was sitting on the shoulders of a sputtering, angry dwarf, trying to hammer a notice onto the wall.
"Excuse me," Kylana said, tapping the kender on the shoulder. "What is this 'miraculous ale barrel' that you are looking for?"Peace and terror all in one, My future life has just begun.....
The kitchen sink wandered around the corner, amazed to see such a congregation of Kender. Then, without warning a rather large foot landed on top of it, crushing it into porcelain dust. The foot belonged to a Minotaur, and a very big one at that. Looking decidedly out of place among the comparitevly tiny Kender he walked past the the sound of a dwarf swearing. After a few more steps he noticed and incesant yammering in his ears, on closer inspection it turned out to be a Kender, the collar of it's shirt hooked on one of the Minotaur's massive horns. The Minotaur removed the Kender, the looked at the sign it had held,
"What the heck? Bottomless Keg of...... Are you people ins....wait, stupid question. It is an....interesting goal though.""Ah, they have a cave troll....."
Gaia looked up as she wondered along, and was more than surprised to see a large Swallow trying desperately to fly with a coconut held between it's claws. The swallow gave up after the second flap and landed exhausted in a pile of fine white dust that lay on the floor, the coconut making a small mushroom shaped cloud as it fell.
The cleric of Mishkail looked around her, wondering where she had ended up. She was more than surprised to see a large gathering of kender, gnomes and..........dwarfs?! All of them yammering about a "bottomless keg of ale"?! A group of kender saw her, and noticed the pouches she kept hung around her waist in true kender style, aswell as the large sized hoopak she carried at her side. Time spent traveling with kender, especially her best kender friend, Taylor Magetaunter, had caused quite a few kenderisims to rub off on her. The kenders, seeing a large friend in the young cleric, rushed over to her and began to yibber about this and that and nothing in particular.
"What have you got in your pouches?"
"Where did you get that big hoopak from?"
"Can you do some cleric magic on me, my topknot has gone lank and lost it's lustre!"
"Then try washing it you stupid doorknob!" came the loud retort as the said kender was pushed out of the way by a female dwarf, her grey hair swinging in it's sensible pony tail with annoyance as her heavily booted feet clomped her way over to the overcome Gaia.
"If they continues to bother you lass, just kick 'em in the backside, always works for me!" said the dwarf jovially, demonstrating her refined technique on a kender that was trying to look in one of Gaia's pouches. The kender thought that, although a bit rude, being kicked up the backside was a lot of fun, and propmtly came back for another, if you would be so kind Misstress Dwarf!
"Oh, don't worry Misstress, they weren't bother.........." Gaia tried to interject.
"Get out of it you stupid doorknob!" the dwarf said, shoving the kender to one side and extending a small, callused hand towards Gaia.
"My name is Hagather Rockbreaker, pleased to meet you!"
Gaia took her hand and smiled warmly as she shook it. "I'm Gaia, and I'm a cleric of Mishkail, glad to make your aquaintance! Now what is this about......"
"A bottomless keg of ale?" Hagather finished, "I don't know lass, but I wouldn't mind finding it myself, that I wouldn't!!!" she said, letting rip with a loud belly laugh that made her ruddy face turn a deeper shade of red. "It say's on that sign that we should speak to people called.....Biggs and Wedge.....strange names! And what, may I ask, are you doing with that oversized hoopak?"
Gaia was about to answer, but couldn't get a word in as Hagather had already gone on to the next converstaion. Well, she would have done if she could have started it................
"BIGGS! WEDGE!!!!!" she shouted, "I want to talk to a MASTER BIGGS and a MASTER WEDGE! Where are you two, I can't see a bloody thing through all these kender! Get out of my way doorknob!" she added kicking another up the backside. Ray: It looks like a giant Jello mould!!
Winston: I hate Jello!
Venkman: Ah c'mon guys, there's always room for Jello!!!!!!
OOC: Looks like fun! :D
Shyiree stared curiously at the parchment "Hmmmmm....
"Adventures wanted. Must be willing to work for low wages. Plenty of adventuring opportunity. Treasures and items galore. In search for the miraculous 'Bottomless Keg of Ale'. Seek out Duncan Wedgedriver(Wedge) or associate Rollando Biggsby(Biggs)."
Treasures and items galore! Those words jumped right out of the parchment and danced around her head. Treasure! Glorious treasure. "Ohhh think of what nice things I could buy for myself!" she quivered clasping her hands together in delight. "A fine tailored cape, a pair of beautifully soft deer skin boots, a mini toy action gnome flinger complete with gnome for my gnomes N'ventions collection!" Thoughts of collectable action figures and fine clothing were enough to convince Shyiree that this adventure was well worth her time. Especially with the lure of riches and rare items. Being skillful rouge herself, she was already equipped with the best traveling cloths and carrying packs that stolen money could buy. Moreover, from the looks of her attire one could safely assume that she was indeed an expert at her trade.
Double knotting her pouches and securing her sack the half elf ventured into the crowd of kender's and dwarves. She knew well enough not to leave her items unattended to with kender's walking around. Though she had her things, all tied up in a bundle she made sure to cast a small spell of protection, just to be safe. One could never be too sure. Even if they were a professional thief. Stepping quickly between the activity of the crowd she made her way along the alleyway to the side of the Inn, were a kender and dwarf were arguing. From the names they called each other in their quarrel, Shyriee was sure that these two were the ones who had posted the sign.
"S'cuse me?" she gently tapped the dwarves shoulder. "I saw the parchment that you posted back there and was wondering what your requirements were. My name is Shyiree Nimblewind and I would like to sign up for your adventure!"
I dream of the night, I dream of the moon.
I woke from this sleep, but far much to soon.
OOC: I wonder how Biggs and Wedge will decide who to bring? Hmmmm.....ah...no.....ummmmm......Yeah....no. Blast it I don't kow which character to use! I'll decied later but count on being joining by tomarrow. "Do, or do not, there is no try' -Yoda "Empire Strikes Back"
The dwarf's eyes swelled at the sight of the people (specially the minotaur) that congregated in front of the tavern. Signaling to Biggs he motioned all those interested inside. After a few minutes of scufling, tossing and either manhandling some of the kenders out of the tavern (wherein Biggs was also occasionally thrown out by Wedge, "Ti''s only an accident, he wasn't truly intending to throw me out like that," said Biggs as he made his way inside again), the red faced dwarf finally cleared the inside of the tavern. There were also several other kenders left, a handful of gnomes and a few hill dwarves along for the adventure. I thought I was alone in the dark... Now, I Know I am Alone In the Dark... Marc
Hagather dragged Gaia over to a couple of chairs, Gaia'a hoopak flaying round her head wildly through the force of the dwarfs' tug. The two sat down, (Hagather with an intended thump, Gaia with a shocked how-did-I-get-here thump).
The dwarf looked around her and studied the rest of the occupants with interest. Then she came upon the minotaur. "What's a Minotaur doing in a place like this, surrounded by kender?" she asked, a guffaw on the edge of her lips at the thought of a kender loving minotaur.
Gaia also took in her surroundings, and smiled once her gaze lighted on Biggs and Wedge, "So, masters Biggs and Wedge, what is this adventure you are proposing and when do we start?!" she asked, her voice loud and clear.Ray: It looks like a giant Jello mould!!
Winston: I hate Jello!
Venkman: Ah c'mon guys, there's always room for Jello!!!!!!
OOC: Oooh...to be a kender roleplayer again.
Wait, did I say that out loud?
*flees before someone recognizes him*That which is Joe's is given unto Joe. That which is not of Joe's shalt be given unto Joe. All that is, all that will be, shall be given unto Joe. For his is the hand that guides the world, and his is the heart that rules it.
-- Prophecies of Joe, Special Ego-Buffer Vision, Verse IV
[Edited by Joe_Ghostbuster on Friday, July 26, 2002 6:30 AM]
The minotaur stomped in, stooping almost double to get inside the inn. He nodded to Mirror and sat down next to her.
"So you're back in circulation huh?"
Across the room there was a ferocious hiss and a huge snake slithered across the floor, a Kender hanging on to it's tail and yelling happy things about fairground rides. The snake flicked it's tail send the Kender flying across the room. The minotaur grinned,
"Knew they'd manage to 'find' the pouch with Vect in."
He looked at Hagather,
"Ah yes, my name is Terjon, and you would be?"
OOC;I'm assuming that this takes place after the 'Triplets' thread, so Terjon has met Mirror."Ah, they have a cave troll....."
OOC: Well seeing as how you guys don't have a gnome yet I shall use mine Smitly! and where would Smitly be without his crazy couterpart (not really) Jumper the kender.
IC: "Hey Smitly this sighn over here says that there is a bottomless ale barrel!"
"Yes really! I think we should join in on the adventure!"
"Yeah and...."
"OkayletsgofindthisBiggsandWedge." Smitly found that the entrence was too crowded so he decided that they should go through a window keeping Jumper out of sight so the wouldn't be there all night finding out what each other had in thier pouches. He pulled out his ten foot pole and stuck it in the ground. He then rumeged through Jumper's pouches to find several inmovable rods.
"After about ten minutes Smitly made a 'ladder' and the two went up and opened the window. They gathered their gear and jumped inside.
The two landed on the ground with a thud.
"Hullo, I'm Jumper Bango and this is Smitly! How do you do?" Jumper said as he extended his hand. "Do, or do not, there is no try' -Yoda "Empire Strikes Back"
OOC: cool i can use my charater lockjaw or should i use my gnome charater
pygmy. oh ok pygmy it is.
a small axed wielding gnome goes on his daily walk and notices the crowd.
"wowhihowareyouguys!" "whyyouhere?"anadventurewowit'sbeen6yearssencemylastadventure." sayys pygmy all too fast so he waits in line almost being trampled by people.
once he got inside he hid his pouches (which were found quickly by a kender who found it by mistake.)"hmmmsurearelotsofpeople." and goes and sits on a chair."i'm not the light but the darkness in which surrounds it." - me
Wedge stroked his long black beared after getting rid of all the extra kender/gnomes/dwarf who where just nosing around.
"Ack, getting this place up and 'running 'gain wou'd add years to me. May Paladine have ye head Biggs!"
"Hey, at least we got what we wanted. We have our party again. And, who is that guy trying to run away? Hey!"
Biggs the kender immediately grabs Joe and gives him a hug.
"Uncle Joe!!! Hey everyone, this is Uncle Joe, who once travelled with my friend Mertonius, not actually travelled but, they were great friends right, uncle Joe? Is Uncle Mert with you right now? Really, Is he here? Hey, why are you squirming like that, wow, a new pouch, what is this, hey, this map looks exactly like my map to the bottomless keg, wow, there is even that pie splotch that Wedge spilled on after he dunked that beer over me last night. Amazing! I guess, I better keep this uncle, you might lose it."
"What is this world coming too???" Asked Wedge to the gods. "What 'ave I done to warrant this? WHYY???" I thought I was alone in the dark... Now, I Know I am Alone In the Dark... Marc

Pleasure, Tootles.
You said 'decent,' so I presume you are looking for quality. So I would suggest an Alton 8' x 10' 6" made from cedar....costing a mere £2,492.
They will erect it for you on a prepared site, but that would cost extra. Personally, I prefer to have a soil base until it becomes exhausted, then lay slabs.
Tootles, I bought a Robinson that size 27 years ago and apart from putting some extra vents in the side (it is wall mounted South facing) has given perfect service.Good solid aluminium frames, thicker glass and full frame glazing bars. It is up there with the more expensive GH's but in the middle price class there are some very serviceable ones. The full glazing bar glass fixings are what to look for as the ones with clips blow out with high winds.I do not have soil just paves up the centre and gravel on plastic each side, the tomato pots sit on the gravel which holds the moisture and I find the roots are into the gravel as I clean up after the tomato's are over.
We bought a second-hand Alton similar to the one in the photo for £40 after seeing it advertised and we have now moved and re-erected it three times in the last 12 years, so it was a real bargain.
I agree with Frank, Robinsons do make an excellent greenhouse. However, their 10' 6" x 8' 8" greenhouse would still cost around £2,500, which would make an Alton cedar-wood version a preferable buy for me.....metal framed greenhouses will always be blistering hot in summer & just the opposite in winter.
I bought a greenhouse last year from the greenhousepeople.co.uk Not one made from cedar but very sturdy and o lot less costly. I have a bench down one side a path in the middle and then its bare earth with grow bags on. Its been wonderful, gave a good start to all my seedlings and is now full of chillies, tomatoes and cucumbers.
David I usually agree with you but you missed the bit that said wall mounted, the only time it was below freezing was a while back when we had three months of snow and ice. I have a warming cable sand box with thermostat and cover it with bubble wrap when in use. True in summer I sometimes need the fan.
Bought my greenhouse from Greenhouse People.co.ukand had it delivered last year. It's the one they call Hercules 8x10 - self opening roof vents (2), 2 louvres, hangigng basket rail, guttering and down pipe all included. Think its about £ 1000 now but if you went to a show - I went to Malvern Autumn - I got a really good deal.
They will also store it until you are ready for it
Good after sales service too. My housing (cheap) collapsed and broke one of the louvres - recevied replacement within 3 days
I have my greenhouse on a solid concrtete block - not ideal but my ancient previous one in a previous home had a path down the middle and i found it very unsatisfactory for what I wanted todo.
Oh and we put it up with help of 2 next door neighbours. Tricky if you are not diy enthusiats
Hi Tooles i'll just add my experience here. i had an apex roofed polycarbonate greenhouse on bare earth for a couple of years when i moved to my current house in 2003. unfortunately after fierce weather and high winds the door was completely ripped off and it did flex quite noisily. i had to remove it all. when my uncle died 5 years ago noone wanted his aluminium B&Q 6x8 ft greenhouse so my then fiancee and a friend took 3 trips to dismantle and get it to our garden (10 miles away). It was erected on a concrete base and we added automatic roof openers x2 & 2 louvre wall vents. i can honestly it has given hours of fun and successes. This year I lined it with bubble wrap for the winter and had a propagator and heated mat to start seedling off in spring
my only disappointment is the automatic window openers leave a gap when closed and we have tried everything to alter them. My dad ended up filing off one of the bits that stops them shutting completely. I will only bubblbe wrap the windows and louvres this winter as it caused quite bad condensation this year. Also i would recomend a half on concret and half on earth if possible as tomatoes need staking and this makes growbags leak on the floor!
Hope you've decided what to plum for I'm sure whatever you decide will be great fun am jealous that I can't afford on of the cedar ones they look fab
I bought a Halls Silverline lean-to around Easter. Can't remember which website I bought it from but it ended up about £650 including louvred window and automatic roof vent. My builder and I put it up; IT TOOK FOUR DAYS! Why? Because the instructions were AWFUL. The photos and diagrams were worse than useless and the text was frequently misleading. I had to phone and email Halls repeatedly. They were pretty unhelpful; there after sales service is frankly a joke. My builder and I are very practical people but we were both nearly in tears over this wretched greenhouse. This was supposed to be my retirement treat; it became a nightmare.
robinson greenhouse 8 x 12 about £1700 the greenhouse people on offer. If you dont want to have a lot of watering work have a soil base with a path in the middle. We find this easier in our old age. Follow the instructons to the letter for erecting it and give yourself plenty of wind free weather time. It wasnt possible to for my husband to complete it on his own, you need two pairs of hands at the last lap.
The greenhouse i bought cost around £750. Excellent value. Our friends and neighbours helped to put it up and we ended up having a party in the evening.Greenhouse people quite often have offers. Buy the biggest you can fit and afford. No regrets buying it, all seeds got off tom a flying start and a bumper crop of tomatoes, cucmbers and chillies.
Rhino are excellent value, well made and easy to erect.
Can anyone tell me when Robinsons introduced the snap cap over the screws on the glazing bar?
(The original bars had the screws showing) This is essential info for a private project!
Do a Google for Hartley, good quality.
Dad's had one for 50 years and still going strong.

Plenty (Mitchell Beazley, 2010) features more than 350 recipes, introducing its readers to the benefits of cooking seasonally and why you should celebrate leftovers. Revel in one of this book's many fruit-rich desserts.
You can purchase this book from the Mother Earth Living store: Plenty.
This dessert is also delicious as a cake without the fillings (halve the recipe and start checking after 30 minutes). You can make it in the autumn with ground hazelnuts.
Serves 8 to 10
for the cake
• 2 cups self-rising flour • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1 cup almonds, ground • 3 large eggs • 3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 2 teaspoons almond extract • 1 cup butter
for the topping and filling
• 1 3/4 pound strawberries • 5 tablespoons superfine sugar • Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon • 7 ounces mascarpone • 1 cup heavy cream • 10 heaped tablespoons lemon curd • Confectioners' sugar, to taste, plus more to dust
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour onto the granulated sugar and salt, then stir in the almonds. Whisk the eggs lightly with a third of the yogurt and the vanilla and almond extracts. Using a food processor, or hand-held electric beater, cream the butter until pale and fluffy. Gently beat in the remaining yogurt and, with the machine on a very low speed, add the dry ingredients alternately with the eggs. Beat on a medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Butter and line a 9-inch spring-form cake pan (it should be 3 in deep) and spoon in the batter. Bake for 50 minutes; a skewer pushed into the center should come out clean. Leave to cool slightly, then turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely. The sponge is very delicate, so carefully, with a broad, sharp knife, cut it horizontally into three layers.
3. Wash and hull the strawberries and cut into halves and quarters (reserve good-looking small berries for decoration). Sprinkle the cut strawberries with the superfine sugar, zest, and juice; stir and leave to macerate for 15 minutes. Beat the mascarpone to loosen it a bit. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until it holds its shape well. Combine the cream, mascarpone, lemon curd, and confectioners' sugar to taste.
4. Spread the bottom layer of cake with half the cream, then half the strawberries. Repeat with the next layer. Put the top layer on. Arrange a small pile of perfect strawberries in the middle and sift over a light dusting of confectioners' sugar. Keep in the refrigerator until 20 to 30 minutes before serving. It's best eaten on the day it's made.

This cake is good with all other berries (blackberry and lemon curd is lovely). Try orange curd or a few spoonfuls of elderflower cordial instead of lemon curd, or make the filling using all cream instead of mascarpone if you prefer.

Text editor
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2014) |
A text editor is a type of program used for editing plain text files.
Text editors are often provided with operating systems and software development packages, and can be used to change configuration files, documentation files and programming language source code.
Plain text files vs. word processor files[edit]
There are important differences between plain text files created by a text editor and document files created by word processors such as Microsoft Word or WordPerfect.
- A plain text file uses a character encoding such as UTF-8 or ASCII to represent numbers, letters, and symbols. The only non-printing characters in the file that can be used to format the text are newline, tab, and formfeed. Most plain text files are displayed using a monospace font so horizontal alignment and columnar formatting is sometimes done using space characters.
- Word processor documents generally contain formatted text, such as enabling text to appear in boldface and italics, to use multiple fonts, and to be structured into columns and tables. These capabilities were once associated only with desktop publishing, but are now available in the simplest word processor.
Word processors were developed to allow formatting of text for presentation on a printed page, while text produced by text editors is generally used for other purposes, such as input data for a computer program.
When both formats are available, the user must select with care. Saving a plain text file in a word-processor format adds formatting information that can make the text unreadable by a program that expects plain text. Conversely, saving a word-processor document as plain text removes any formatting information.
Before text editors existed, computer text was punched into cards with keypunch machines. Physical boxes of these thin cardboard cards were then inserted into a card-reader. Magnetic tape and disk "card-image" files created from such card decks often had no line-separation characters at all, and assumed fixed-length 80-character records. An alternative to cards was punched paper tape. It could be created by some teleprinters (such as the Teletype), which used special characters to indicate ends of records.
The first text editors were "line editors" oriented to teleprinter- or typewriter-style terminals without displays. Commands (often a single keystroke) effected edits to a file at an imaginary insertion point called the "cursor". Edits were verified by typing a command to print a small section of the file, and periodically by printing the entire file. In some line editors, the cursor could be moved by commands that specified the line number in the file, text strings (context) for which to search, and eventually regular expressions. Line editors were major improvements over keypunching. Some line editors could be used by keypunch; editing commands could be taken from a deck of cards and applied to a specified file. Some common line editors supported a "verify" mode in which change commands displayed the altered lines.
When computer terminals with video screens became available, screen-based text editors (sometimes called just "screen editors") became common. One of the earliest full-screen editors was O26, which was written for the operator console of the CDC 6000 series computers in 1967. Another early full-screen editor was vi. Written in the 1970s, it is still a standard editor[1] on Unix and Linux operating systems. Emacs, one of the first open source and free software projects, is another early full-screen or real-time editor, one that was ported to many systems.[2] A full-screen editor's ease-of-use and speed (compared to the line-based editors) motivated many early purchases of video terminals.[3]
Types of text editors[edit]
Some text editors are small and simple, while others offer broad and complex functions. For example, Unix and Unix-like operating systems have the pico editor (or a variant), but many also include the Emacs editor. Microsoft Windows systems come with the simple Notepad, though many people—especially programmers—prefer other editors with more features. Under Apple Macintosh's classic Mac OS there was the native SimpleText, which was replaced in Mac OS X by TextEdit, which combines features of a text editor with those typical of a word processor such as rulers, margins and multiple font selection. These features are not available simultaneously, but must be switched by user command, or through the program automatically determining the file type.
Most word processors can read and write files in plain text format, allowing them to open files saved from text editors. Saving these files from a word processor, however, requires ensuring the file is written in plain text format, and that any text encoding or BOM settings won't obscure the file for its intended use. Non-WYSIWYG word processors, such as WordStar, are more easily pressed into service as text editors, and in fact were commonly used as such during the 1980s. The default file format of these word processors often resembles a markup language, with the basic format being plain text and visual formatting achieved using non-printing control characters or escape sequences. Later word processors like Microsoft Word store their files in a binary format and are almost never used to edit plain text files.
Some text editors can edit unusually large files such as log files or an entire dictionary placed in a single file. Simpler text editors may just read files into the computer's main memory. With larger files, this may be a slow process, and the entire file may not fit. Some text editors do not let the user start editing until this read-in is complete. Editing performance also often suffers in nonspecialized editors, with the editor taking seconds or even minutes to respond to keystrokes or navigation commands. By only storing the visible portion of large files in memory, editing performance improves.
Some editors are programmable, meaning they can be customized for specific uses. One motive for customizing is to make a text editor use the commands of another text editor with which the user is more familiar, or to duplicate missing functionality the user has come to depend on. Software developers often use editor customizations tailored to the programming language or development environment they are working in. The programmability of some text editors is limited to enhancing the core editing functionality of the program, but Emacs can be extended far beyond editing text files—for web browsing, reading email, online chat, managing files or playing games. Emacs can even emulate Vi, its rival in the traditional editor wars of Unix culture.[4][5]
An important group of programmable editors uses REXX[6] as a scripting language. These "orthodox editors" contain a "command line" into which commands[7] and (REXX) macros can be typed. Most such editors are derivatives of ISPF/PDF EDIT or of XEDIT, IBM's flagship editor for VM/CMS. Among them are THE, KEDIT, X2, Uni-edit, and SEDIT.
A text editor written or customized for a specific use can determine what the user is editing and assist the user, often by completing programming terms and showing tooltips with relevant documentation. Many text editors for software developers include source code syntax highlighting and automatic indentation to make programs easier to read and write. Programming editors often let the user select the name of an include file, function or variable, then jump to its definition. Some also allow for easy navigation back to the original section of code by storing the initial cursor location or by displaying the requested definition in a popup window or temporary buffer. Some editors implement this ability themselves, but often an auxiliary utility like ctags is used to locate the definitions.
Typical features[edit]
- Find and replace – Text editors provide extensive facilities for searching and replacing text, either on groups of files or interactively. Advanced editors can use regular expressions to search and edit text or code.
- Cut, copy, and paste – most text editors provide methods to duplicate and move text within the file, or between files.
- Text formatting – Text editors often provide basic formatting features like line wrap, auto-indentation, bullet list formatting, comment formatting, syntax highlighting and so on.
- Undo and redo – As with word processors, text editors will provide a way to undo and redo the last edit. Often—especially with older text editors—there is only one level of edit history remembered and successively issuing the undo command will only "toggle" the last change. Modern or more complex editors usually provide a multiple level history such that issuing the undo command repeatedly will revert the document to successively older edits. A separate redo command will cycle the edits "forward" toward the most recent changes. The number of changes remembered depends upon the editor and is often configurable by the user.
- Data transformation – Reading or merging the contents of another text file into the file currently being edited. Some text editors provide a way to insert the output of a command issued to the operating system's shell.
- Ability to handle UTF-8 encoded text.
- Filtering – Some advanced text editors allow the editor to send all or sections of the file being edited to another utility and read the result back into the file in place of the lines being "filtered". This, for example, is useful for sorting a series of lines alphabetically or numerically, doing mathematical computations, and so on.
- Syntax highlighting – contextually highlights source code, markup languages, config files and other text that appears in an organized or predictable format. Editors generally allow users to customize the colors or styles used for each language element. Some text editors also allow users to install and use themes to change the look and feel of the editor's entire user interface.
- Extensibility - a text editor intended for use by programmers must provide some plugin mechanism, or be scriptable, so a programmer can customize the editor with features needed to manage individual software projects, cusomize functionality or key bindings for specific programming languages or version control systems, or conform to specific coding styles.
Specialised editors[edit]
Some editors include special features and extra functions, for instance,
- Source code editors are text editors with additional functionality to facilitate the production of source code. These often feature user-programmable syntax highlighting and code navigation functions as well as coding tools or keyboard macros similar to an HTML editor (see below).
- Folding editors. This subclass includes so-called "orthodox editors" that are derivatives of Xedit. Editors that implement folding without programing-specific features are usually called outliners (see below).
- IDEs (integrated development environments) are designed to manage and streamline large programming projects. They are usually only used for programming as they contain many features unnecessary for simple text editing.
- World Wide Web authors are offered a variety of HTML editors dedicated to the task of creating web pages. These include: Dreamweaver, KompoZer and E Text Editor. Many offer the option of viewing a work in progress on a built-in HTML rendering engine or standard web browser. Most web development is done in a dynamic programming language such as Ruby or PHP using a source code editor or IDE. The HTML delivered by all but the simplest static web sites is stored as individual template files that are assembled by the software controlling the site and do not compose a complete HTML document.
- Mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists often produce articles and books using TeX or LaTeX in plain text files. Such documents are often produced by a standard text editor, but some people use specialized TeX editors.
- Outliners. Also called tree-based editors, because they combine a hierarchical outline tree with a text editor. Folding (see above) can be considered a specialized form of outlining.
- Collaborative editors allow multiple users to work on the same document simultaneously from remote locations over a network. The changes made by individual users are tracked and merged into the document automatically to eliminate the possibility of conflicting edits. These editors also typically include an online chat component for discussion among editors.
- Simultaneous editing is a technique in End-user development research to edit all items in a multiple selection. It allows the user to manipulate all the selected items at once through direct manipulation. The Lapis text editor[8][9] and the multi edit[10] plugin for gedit are examples of this technique. The Lapis editor can also create an automatic multiple selection based on an example item.
- Distraction-free editors provide a minimalistic interface with the purpose of isolating the writer from the rest of the applications and operating system, thus being able to focus on the writing without distractions from interface elements like a toolbar or notification area.
Programmable editors can usually be enhanced to perform any or all of these functions, but simpler editors focus on just one, or, like gPHPedit, are targeted at a single programming language.

he was a robot after all!
that was the greatest game i ever played! i never expected him to be a robot. and the suspense with "give him this" made me want to push it right away!
he definetly deserved to die, with his bad jokes no one could relate to. u need to make more games where we get to kill him.
keep up the great work!

Where did you get that joke?
This Kent character is great. I loved those killing options. You could have just had somebody throw dynamite at him, but you went right out and slaughtered him in the funniest ways possible.
This might be a bad idea, but what if you did one where Kent went to differnt venues? It would be funny to see him trying to win over a gay audience or do rap in an 8Mile parody.
With less vomit, of course.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
That was cool, I suppose...
And what the fuck jcl_the_great? He obviously put that in on purpose you fucking prat!!! I thought that scene was funny, that's why I gave you a 5 for humour! Can't wait to see some more projects; just make them longer next time, and you'll more than likely get a higher overall mark!!!

Sometimes foods get hot, white hot, as in rockstar hot, and they're all you hear about in the foodie community for months, even years, as chefs jump on the wagon and churn out creative ways to use them. For example, you might have heard a little about bacon there for a while …
Now, thanks in part to recent Subway commercials, but a long time coming with the rise of southwestern and Latin American cuisine, avocados have hit marquis food-media status.
Consider this slideshow, 17 unbelievably delicious ways to stuff an avocado, from www.hellawella.com.
Every idea looks better than the one before it, many of them jumping off the twice-baked potato concept, highlighted by a BLT stuffed avocado, avocado with poached eggs (poached eggs are another white hot food), baked avocado salsa, baked avocado this, baked avocado that.
How about Cilantro-Lime Jalapeno Chicken Salad in Avocado? Mmm hmm. That's what I'm talking about.
Incidentally, my husband went to Subway to get a sandwich with avocado and complained that they don't give you enough. It remains to be seen how much would constitute enough avocado in my house, but armed with these ideas, I'm planning to find out.

Responsible gun law needed
Driven by the 2nd Amend- ment, a well regulated militia, the National Guard, has been established in all 50 states. The National Guard is the first resource any state governor will activate to address a qualifying emergency such as a hurricane, tornado, civil unrest etc.
Consider that more firepower is available to the citizens of this country than in any other civilized country in the world. Also consider how that firepower will affect the security of the Guard mission and the dedicated volunteers who carry out that mission.
Consider the welfare of those you know who serve in the National Guard forces. Also consider the safety and security of local law enforcement, such as police and county sheriff personnel, who will also be called to serve, side by side, with our friends and comrades in the Guard.
Responsible gun legislation is needed to protect law-abiding citizens, and all those who serve and protect. It must also keep guns out of the hands of criminals, the mentally ill, and terrorists.
We who have been fortunate to have served and survived should use the leadership skills we received in our military training to educate others. We should lead the way to achieve responsible and effective gun legislation.
Larry Diemand, Mentor
The writer is a retired USAFR lietenant colonel who served with the Air National Guard at Mansfield and the Air Force Reserve at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station.
Anyone who thinks that the second amendment is and aboslute right for any fire arm is an absolte idiot.
Anyone who thinks citizens can just go out and buy "any fire arm" is "and aboslute, absolte idiot."
Yes, the 2nd Amendment was written when they had muskets and flintlocks. But muskets and flintlocks were the most advanced weapons of the day. Nobody said, "well, these are just too powerful and too deadly for the average citizen to own." Nobody said, "I don't know anything about guns, but those look scary, so you shouldn't have one."
With that said, the average citizen can't go out and buy an automatic weapon. The average citizen can't go out and buy a mortar, a "machine gun" or a tank. Educate yourselves!
NoBS These antigunners only talk through emotions. They have no idea what they are saying, but it sounds good. to them. I totally agree with you about automatic weapons. My one son is a gun smith, who will tell you that the fines and imprisonment penalities aren't worth owning one.
The letter writer implies that the National Guard will be there to protect citizens, and that unneccessary weapons in the hands of citizens would create safety issues for the National Guard and other law enforcement.
Perhaps, but recall last Friday in Boston when citizens were told to lock their doors and stay inside while authorities searched for a terrorist who was believed to be armed with guns and explosives.
The authorities did a great job, but it took much of the day to find the suspect.
In the words of the letter writer, "consider" if you were a Boston resident that day and the terrorist came calling to your home.
There is another compelling reason for the "shelter in place" request in Boston.
The law enforcement task to search for the suspect is made significantly easier by having the roads clear of people traveling about and residents in their place of residence.
I hope that you are not suggesting that "shelter in place" would have not been useful if all Bostonians were armed
There is another compelling reason for the "shelter in place" request in Boston.
The law enforcement task to search for the suspect is made significantly easier by having the roads clear of people traveling about and residents in their place of residence.
I hope that you are not suggesting that "shelter in place" would have not been useful if all Bostonians were armed
My point was in regards to residents being able to protect themselves in their homes while the suspect was on the loose; irregardless of the "shelter in place" request.

For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the MSD group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt three-dimensional structures. The table below shows the mapping between the Pfam families in this clan, the corresponding UniProt entries, and the region of the three-dimensional structures that are available for that sequence.

CLIFTON A. MASHBURNIn recognition of his many contributions to this chapter, we honor Clifton A. Mashburn. As a member of long standing you gave support to the chapter during its struggling infancy, judged at its shows, represented it at national meetings, served as officer, and prepared a history of the chapter.
As an avid collector of Dexter rhododendrons, you have corresponded widely to search out the superior clones, have propagated and distributed plants from your collection, have motivated others to study and collect Dexter hybrids, and have been a prime mover in the founding of the Dexter Study Group.
You are a kind and gentle person, and we recognize as one of your greatest contributions the encouragement of others and the generous sharing of your superior plants.
The Southeastern Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society is pleased to present the Bronze Medal to: Clifton A. Mashburn
