When ye do divorce women, divorce them at their prescribed periods, and count (accurately), their prescribed periods: And fear Allah your Lord: and turn them not out of their houses, nor shall they (themselves) leave, except in case they are guilty of some open lewdness, those are limits set by Allah: and any who transgresses the limits of Allah, does verily wrong his (own) soul: thou knowest not if perchance Allah will bring about thereafter some new situation. 2Thus when they fulfil their term appointed, either take them back on equitable terms or part with them on equitable terms; and take for witness two persons from among you, endued with justice, and establish the evidence (as) before Allah. Such is the admonition given to him who believes in Allah and the Last Day. And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out, 3And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion. 4Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy. 5That is the Command of Allah, which He has sent down to you: and if any one fears Allah, He will remove his ills, from him, and will enlarge his reward. 6Let the women live (in 'iddat) in the same style as ye live, according to your means: Annoy them not, so as to restrict them. And if they carry (life in their wombs), then spend (your substance) on them until they deliver their burden: and if they suckle your (offspring), give them their recompense: and take mutual counsel together, according to what is just and reasonable. And if ye find yourselves in difficulties, let another woman suckle (the child) on the (father's) behalf. 7Let the man of means spend according to his means: and the man whose resources are restricted, let him spend according to what Allah has given him. Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him. After a difficulty, Allah will soon grant relief. 8How many populations that insolently opposed the Command of their Lord and of His messengers, did We not then call to account,- to severe account?- and We imposed on them an exemplary Punishment. 9Then did they taste the evil result of their conduct, and the End of their conduct was Perdition. 10Allah has prepared for them a severe Punishment (in the Hereafter). Therefore fear Allah, O ye men of understanding - who have believed!- for Allah hath indeed sent down to you a Message,- 11An Messenger, who rehearses to you the Signs of Allah containing clear explanations, that he may lead forth those who believe and do righteous deeds from the depths of Darkness into Light. And those who believe in Allah and work righteousness, He will admit to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: Allah has indeed granted for them a most excellent Provision. 12Allah is He Who created seven Firmaments and of the earth a similar number. Through the midst of them (all) descends His Command: that ye may know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah comprehends, all things in (His) Knowledge.

Palliative care for metastatic nonsmall-cell lung cancer begins with developing relationships with patients and families after diagnosis and moves to end-of-life care planning in later stages, according to a study from the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center. Throughout an illness, palliative visits often include discussions of symptoms and the effects of cancer, the researchers wrote in the online edition of JAMA Internal Medicine.

About this Business
- HoursSun-Sat9:30 AM - 8:00 PM
From Our Editors
As visitors to The White Rose turn down the property's drive, they're instantly transported to a simpler time: on the left, a lush lawn sprawls before a house not yet visible, and on the right, rows upon rows of grapes keep rank to form a four-acre vineyard. Twisting around the bend, then, the house appears, with its elaborate porch, elegant columns, and white limestone reminiscent of Ireland's "penny walls."
Built in 1900, the home preserves its fair share of history, and today, it bridges the gap between generations by keeping its door open to guests. Four of the house's rooms serve as bed and breakfast getaways, each outfitted with antique furniture and decorative accents. The estate also churns out its own wine with an intricate, handcrafted process, which it shares with visitors during tastings in the parlor.

Viaspan was the trademark under which the University of Wisconsin cold storage solution (also known as University of Wisconsin solution or UW solution) was sold. Currently, UW solution is sold under the ViaSpan trademark and several other trademarks. UW solution was the first solution thoughtfully designed for use in organ transplantation, and became the first intracellular-like preservation medium. Developed in the late 1980s by Folkert Belzer and James Southard for pancreas preservation, the solution soon displaced EuroCollins solution as the preferred medium for cold storage of livers and kidneys, as well as pancreas. The solution has also been used for hearts and other organs. University of Wisconsin cold storage solution remains what is often called the gold standard for organ preservation,[1] despite the development of other solutions that are in some respects superior.[2]
The guiding principles for the development of Viaspan were:
- osmotic concentration maintained by the use of metabolically inert substances like lactobionate and raffinose rather than with glucose
- Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is used to prevent edema
- Substances are added to scavenge free radicals, along with steroids and insulin.
- Potassium lactobionate: 100 mM
- KH2PO4: 25 mM
- MgSO4: 5 mM
- Raffinose: 30 mM
- Adenosine: 5 mM
- Glutathione: 3 mM
- Allopurinol: 1 mM
- Hydroxyethyl starch: 50 g/L

Wait,will you make a planet-destroying script for this ?
Alliance are a serie of different mods. On the Star Wars GC, you can play the civil war Empire vs Rebel era + Black Sun and soon the Republic and CIS.
Wait,will you make a planet-destroying script for this ?
By the moment it has not nothing like this but I have a few ideas, the problem is my experience with the game and the free time, I have been modding this game for not more of 6 months, probably at two years I will know more about it.;)
You could try to somehow use the "Stripped to the Core" ability with the Deathstar because it blows up the planet.
wow you can make planet destroyers in bulk
Yes it is a Praetor MKII.
so allience works for sins of solar empire and star wars foc
no I believe they are separate mods with the same name, also will the rest of the Empires superweapons have slots to be in game (Galaxy gun, Wold Devastators, Mini Death stars (for defending your capital) Eye of Palpatine, etc...
It shouldn't be upgraded it should have to be destroyed OR alternitavely you build them all seperately depending on the price.
Prototype wasn't very powerful, it could only destroy moons or the CORE of planets(while boring a hole) and it took ages to recharge. It was also pretty much the weapon with pieces holding it together.
The first full one, everybody knows about it.
The second one was never complete HOWEVER in the mod I think that it would be cool if you had the Death Star MkII built, then could upgrade it to make it fully operational.
I continue working at least one or two days per week at my Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion mod. Today I have added the Death Stars, I say Death Stars because there are more of one, in fact the first builded is the Death Star Prototipe and after it you can upgrade it to the Death Star I and after it to the Death Star II. Have fun.

And Then I Went Back to the Other Island

Hong Kong
October 15th 2011
Published: October 15th 2011
Hello everyone, so after a long break, I finally have time to write another blog. So last time I got lost in Macau, fell in love in Macau and won big in the casino only to lose it all (I actually was winning at one point – should have walked away). But anywhozles, lets get this over with.
Sept 1st:
So I went through the Hong Kong customs at the Ferry and then went back to the hostel to pack. Because once again, I had to switch hostels in the same country – this time in the same city. God dang it, this is annoying.
Sept 2nd:
Ok, so I woke up, finished packing up, went to check out – only for the guy not to be at the front desk. After waiting, looking for him, calling to the back room, other people coming to check out and going through the same process, he finally came down and I checked out and ran to the shuttle bus just in the nick of time. From there, I got to play "Lug my 60 lb. luggage + full backpack around China" again (my favorite game ever! Actually, as obnoxious as it is, I'm pretty sure it's what's keeping me in reasonable shape and some definition in my arms. And if anyone was curious, 60 lb. is more or less 1/3 of my bodyweight). So after dragging all of that through the Hong Kong metro system (again), I got to the Tsim Sha Tsui stop, and after getting turned around and circling the block once, I got myself oriented and went to my hostel. Now the hostel I was in is kind of interesting because the building it was in – Chungking Mansions – was this rather large building with a few shops on the bottom floor, and then at least 17 floors of different hostels. The hostels are all super cheap, a huge contrast to the rest of the area the hostels are located in. Oh, and the bottom floor is littered with different people trying to get you to go to their hostel. After plowing through, I got to the elevator and went up to check in. AND THE WOMAN SPOKE MANDARIN!!!!! Oh man, I don't know why that was so relieving, but after not speaking Chinese for 10 days in what is sudo-China, it was really nice to talk to someone in the language again. Furthermore, she was very nice by not switching to English for me, which was rather appreciated. I was lead to the dorm room – which at 2 o'clock already had 2 people napping, quietly put my stuff away, and asked where I could get a haircut. They told me to go out and cross the street and I'd find a few places. So I did just that.
I ended up finding some salon, which seemed to be the cheapest in the area that understood English (remember that Canto doesn't equal Mandarin) and got it cut. Admittedly the guy did a good job, though I kept chuckling to myself because he seemed to be frustrated by the density/thickness of my hair. He would take what I assumed where the thinning scissors, work at my hair for five minutes, work on trimming the sides for a bit, stand back, and then grab the thinning scissors again and just kept hacking at my hair. I don't think most Asians have hair this thick (and masculine/sexy), but again – I was happy with the finished product.
Afterwards, I went down the street back to the harbor. There I started at the museum of art – where despite my previously mentioned apathy towards western art – I went in and got to see some rather impressive calligraphy works as well as some well preserved artifacts. Very nice. I then went east to the Avenue of the Stars, which is Hong's Hollywood blvd. They had a bunch of famous Hong Kong actors/actresses with their handprints and what not, including Jet Lee, Jackie Chan, etc. While I've never been to Hollywood Blvd, I would like to think that this one was nicer, mainly because it's right on the bay – and by on the bay, I mean the Avenue is literally a bridge over part of the bay – which is pretty cool I have to admit. So after walking down, I decided to walk back, only to find an interesting treasure: buddy bears. Now I'm guessing 99% of y'all have no clue what I'm talking about so let me explain. In 2001, some artists in Berlin (Germany) had this idea to create a bunch of fiberglass bears (about 6 feet tall) paint them as all sorts of exotic things – from leopards to one covered with hearts. At first they were public, and then they were auctioned off for charity. If you go to Berlin, you can still find them everywhere, as Ben Nelson and I did when we had our tour of Europe. It just so happens that Jackie Chan was doing some filming in Berlin and happened to see the bears and really like them, and got two to bring back to Hong Kong and put them on the Avenue. It was kind of an out of place thing to see, but was rather cool and brought back some good memories of my adventures with Ben (also, it is still disputed whether or not it is bad luck to hug the bears ← inside joke with Ben). I then walked down the other way to see some of the other stuff like the cultural center, but it was closed for some special show that had already started or something. But there was a nice looking pier, so I went up and chilled for a bit, looking at the Hong Kong sky-line and chillax. It was getting towards dusk, so I went down to start finding a place to eat, only to be stopped by a group of students (I think) with the same colored shirt, who asked me what time it was. I was lazy so instead of telling them, I showed them my phone. They then asked me to say it out loud, which I did. They thanked me and then ran off to ask more people. It was weird, and I kind of wanted to ask them what it was for, but their English was struggling, and they seemed pretty determined, so I didn't want to interfere. About fifty steps later, I really wanted to run back and see if I could get a different group of them to ask me for the time so I could say "Hammer Time! ~dun, dundundun, dundun, dundun, Can't touch this!" and Hammer shuffle away. I still regret it to this day that I didn't go back and do that.
But regrets aside, I went back to the hostel, only to find some French girls took my bottom bunk, so I was sleeping up top (and more importantly right next to the air conditioner when I wasn't given a blanket). But with some classic Robby Hanckel boss level thinking, I hung my towel up on the bed railing so I wasn't blocking the AC, but it wasn't turning my hairy man-legs into hairy man-leg popsicles. Last I checked, man-leg popsicles aren't attractive. I then went to go get something to eat, came back and skyped my parents, who I'm sure were happy to know I was not yet dead. While skyping, I saw a huge group of people come in looking for rooms. When there weren't any available on the third floor, they simply said "alright, next floor." And left. While I do not suggest such a strategy for a big group of people, you could very easily do this at Chungking Mansion.
Then I decided that I wanted to go out (as it was a Friday night) to an Irish pub nearby to grab a drink and chill. I sat down at the bar, ordered some fries and an Irish cream beer called Kilkenny's. Now I have never had a cream beer before, but it was really good, and had a texture as if someone had added some Baileys to the beer. I'm now a big fan, even though I have yet to find it again. As I sat there, I was also watching a rugby match, which while interesting – had a huge flaw. Whenever someone got tackled, the game would briefly stop, the defense would back up and the guy who was tackled would just throw it to a guy behind him and gameplay would resume. While this took about 2 seconds to do (as opposed to the 35 seconds it takes in American football), I realized if this could happen an unlimited number of times, why not just keep bull rushing forward if you couldn't ever really lose the ball? I turned to the man next to me to ask this, and he said, "I don't know, don't normally watch this rugby league, but I see your dilemma." A) Since when does England have 2 rugby leagues? America can barely have 1 basketball league. B) I should obviously coach for this rugby league, as I just found a strategy to go undefeated. The last quirky thing I saw at the pub was a man who wanted coca-cola in his beer, as they did in Germany sometimes. This confused the bartenders and me, but the bartender did it for him anyway. So weird – I certainly don't remember doing that in Germany. And on that, a basket of fries (that was meant for 3 people to split) and a Kilkenny, I went to bed on my inch thick Styrofoam mattress.
Sept 3rd:
What a great nights sleep! Between my freezing legs, uncomfortable bed, and lack of covers, I slept like an angel! Oh well, I get what I paid for, and the location is pretty sweet. I woke up, and desided to get a quick breakfast at 7-11. I can't remember if I've mentioned this before, and I can't be bothered to look up if I've said this, so I might be repeating myself. 7-11's are everywhere in Hong Kong, and here is the proof. I walked out of Chungking, and said to myself "I don't know where a 7-11 is, but I'm going to turn right and I'll bet I find one in 30 seconds." And I was absolutely right. 7-11's are more common that Starbucks and McDonalds combined in America. Think about that for a second, it's rather scary. I got my food, and took the metro back across the bay to go see the zoo park. It was small but quaint, with a large selection of monkeys, who were feeling rather playful that day. And dad would have been able to stand the reptile section, as it was only turtles and tortoises. After that, I went back to Sheung Wan to see a park which turned out to be underwhelming. I then started to wander a little bit, and ended up passing an antique shop going out of business. I decided to walk in, just cause and looked around a bit. It was a really small shop, and there wasn't much left, but a small vase caught my eye. I asked the shop owner (in Mandarin, which I think helped with the bargaining – as they were impressed with my Chinese – also very rare for Hong Kong for someone to be impressed with Mandarin abilities) how old the vase was, and he told me 300 years. Judging by the condition and style, this seemed reasonable, but I'm no expert, so I picked up another, smaller item and asked how old it was. He told me 40 years, which was good, cause then I knew he wasn't trying to screw me, because if he was trying to jip me, he would never said a date under 100 years old for anything. Happy that I was dealing with someone I felt I could trust, I went back to the vase and asked how much. The price had already been slashed from $1400 HK to about $950. I am a cheap scape so I told him it was too much, and when asked I gave him a price of $400. Admittedly I probably lowballed a little much, and he wasn't happy. What was great was that when he wasn't happy with my offers, he would say "Nope, take your money," and then look out the window with his chin up, ignoring me and pretending someone else was coming. I found this to be hysterical, and the guys wife was rather amused by the whole banter we had. I would have used my walk away strategy, but I don't think the man could run after me if he changed his mind, nor did I think he would if I walked away. After a lot of back and forth (and a rather amused wife), I eventually got the vase, a tea platter with 3 small tea cups, and a fan stand for $850 HK dollars – not great but I feel like that was fair for both parties, so no regrets. Happy with my purchase, I went back to my hostel, packed up my stuff, and spent the rest of my time at the pier looking at the scenery. I had bim-bap for dinner (oh Korean food, always there for me when I need you the most) and went to bed happy.
Sept 4th:
And then I woke up cold. But after another quick 7-11 breakfast, I checked out and went straight for the airport, once again lugging my 60+ lb. luggage behind me. But I made it with a bunch of time left, which shocked the people at check in, because they weren't expecting anyone so early, but I refused to take any chances flying to Taiwan, especially after all the visa hassle. Plus that meant no line at check in, an I wasn't holding anyone up while they dealt with the heavy luggage fees and what not. I eventually boarded the plane (btw EVA is a great airline if you want to pay a little extra – I actually got lucky with my tickets, as they were cheaper than normal EVA prices ). And now on to the next chapter of my journey.
Next time, I do the responsible thing, and recount every event that has happened in Taiwan. Yeah, right – seriously I know I've been slacking, but with 22 credit hours, I haven't had the time. So the next blog will be a catch up to the present and then I'll keep the blogs like I have before. Promise. But until then:
Kilkenny's is really good, please try it if given the chance.
I still feel bad for that barber – he seriously spent 20 min just thinning out my hair
Bartering for the vase was probably the most fun I've had bartering, and got a really nice artifact. Between that and my embroidery piece – I have quite the starter collection going here.

Dragged down by Dolls
Way more highs than lows at Valley of the Dolls
By Samantha Anne Carrillo [ Fri Jun 14 2013 1:37 PM ]
The Alibi sent two of its editors, Arts & Lit Editor Lisa Barrow and Copy Editor/Staff Writer Mark Lopez, to check out local drag troupe The Dolls' interpretation of Valley of the Dolls. I wasn't able to attend this performance but—since I've read VotD a gazillion times—Barrow and Lopez offered to let me interview them about the show. Helen Lawson—whose character was based on and originally cast as a Judy Garland role—would probably urge you to ignore this, but she's trapped in the ladies' room right now, 'cause I tossed her wig in the toilet. So read on.
Who was your favorite actor/character in the Dolls' production of Valley of the Dolls? If you saw the film or read the book, is your literary/filmic fave character/actor the same?
Mark Lopez: My favorite character was Helen Lawson, played by Tequila Mockingbyrd. The character was hilarious and spot-on in terms of comedic timing. Granted, I've never read the book or seen the famous 1967 flick, I was glad to go into this production with a fresh head, not knowing what to expect. But Helen Lawson blew me away from the beginning. Neely O'Hara is a close second.
Lisa Barrow: Tequila Mockingbyrd was a crowd-pleaser, it's true, whipping the audience up every time she appeared as Helen Lawson, the cynical star who's past her prime. But I think I most enjoyed seeing Jennifer North, the tragically beautiful starlet who's only appreciated for her body. A doe-eyed Stacia Visage gave her a syrupy voice and a voluptuous physical presence that played up the best and funniest parts of the character. I wish there'd been more for her to do.
In the film, Dionne Warwick's rendition of the VotD theme really sets the tone for melodrama. How is music and song used in the Dolls' interpretation?
ML: For me, the song was used in a sort of comedic way. In the beginning, seeing Anne Wells (played by Chastity Belt-Off) walk across the stage with a makeshift train window to the track was hilarious. To me, it was sort of a precursor to the ridiculousness and outlandish quality that made it so fun and enjoyable to watch. And of course, when it played at the end, as the actors took their bows, with Jacquesan Stratton-Toya Bouvier (wow, what a name!) lip-syncing to the song, it made me understand why people are fans of the original film.
LB: I just have to say, Jacquesan Stratton-Toya Bouvier was fantastic. She had several minor roles and was magnetic in every one. Mark's right about the show playing up the ridiculousness in just the right way—another good lip-synching moment was Helen Lawson's big number, "I'll Plant My Own Tree," where they approximated those colorful 1960s decorations (I don't even know how to describe them... some sort of Calder-inspired mobile?) and Tequila Mockingbyrd owned the stage in a weird dress you couldn't stop staring at. But my favorite multimedia aspect to the show were the film clips. Jennifer North rolling around on a bed with a French hunk in one of her nudie films was too wonderful for words. In the VotD movie, the whole scene with Sharon Tate is pretty tame and restrained. But in the hands of The Dolls, it was sublimely bizarre.
ML: Yes! The film clips were excellent. My favorite was when they incorporated Neely O'Hara's exercise routine in a video with the Pee-wee's Big Adventure theme song as the backing track. It's probably not enough to merely mention it; this is one of those instances where you have to be there to not only witness the hilarity, but to get a better context for it. Needless to say, it was pretty great.
Sometimes theater audiences can seem very self-conscious and cautious about responding … whether they're worried about laugh-snorting or being the only one screaming "Brava!" How was the audience interaction/
LB: It could've been better. Jim Johns, the show's director, did come out at the beginning of the show and encourage everyone to shout out favorite lines like, "SPARKLE, Neely, SPARKLE!" And the stars onstage sometimes gave the audience signals to applaud—but overall, the crowd was pretty quiet. Maybe it'd be different with a different crowd, or the Dolls will manage to drum up more audience frenzy with more performances. I hope so. But something they did really well was interact directly with members of the audience at a few key parts. I don't want to give too much away, but let me just dangle the phrase "high flying dry humping" before you...
ML: I tend to be one of those "self-conscious" audience members that doesn't like audience interaction too much, so in that regard, I was kind of glad that I didn't have to participate. The moments that Lisa refers to when they interacted with people were done very selectively. But, it was done well. And as I said before, I wasn't familiar with the subject matter of the play, so I didn't know when it was appropriate to yell "Fag!" (And I'm gay, so it's okay for me to say it now.) So, mum was the word … and rightly so.
Now that the performance has had a chance to percolate in the ol' brainpan for a few days, what would y'all say the overall strengths and weaknesses of The Dolls' VotD are? Would you be interested in attending another work interpreted by The Dolls? If you could instruct them to take on a work, what would it be?
LB: Strengths were lightning-speed scenes and skillful, funny stars. I also love how fully The Dolls grok their source material, the 1967 movie—clearly, they love its camp and its senseless shallow splendor and also grasp how ripe it is for lampooning. But their fidelity to the movie might be a weakness, too—parts of the show could seem like an in-joke if you didn't know the scenes they were based on. Which is why anyone reading this conversation should click on the video links and get familiar with some of the original scenes and classic lines before they see the show. So, hells yes, I'd see more Dolls in a heartbeat. As to what work I wish they'd take on... Well, in a perfect world in which my own very obscure, very particular demographic were addressed, I have to admit that I would swoon over an all-drag version of Gilmore Girls. But, almost certainly, that's just me.
ML: I agree that that one of the strengths were the "skillful, funny stars" that Lisa mentioned. Also, they utilized the space very well. When I first stepped into the theater and saw how small the stage was, I was worried that it was going to be cramped and awkward, but they moved within the boundaries so fluidly and made it work. As for what they could work on, I'm not sure. As Lisa mentioned, there were a lot of in-jokes, but they were constantly lost on me because I didn't know where they were (also because I'm not all there), but I didn't watch any VotD clips before or after the show, but I still enjoyed the moment for what it was, which tends to be how I like to experience things. And Lisa! A Gilmore Girls show would be fantastic! You reading my mind?

Re: SF Bay - how long do you get out of Pettit Trinidad SR?
I had my bottom painted with one coat of that paint, in blue (I recall that this matters.) 34 months ago. I've never had the bottom cleaned. When I hauled last week, there was a thin coating of green-brown growth, but it didn't look that bad; I suspect with cleaning it would have had some more time on it, but I'm not sure about another whole summer. (It seems that summer is when everything starts to grow.)
So I'd say 2-3 summers is about right, based on my one data point. I have no idea how much variance there is in this.
I keep the boat in Redwood City.
One thing that's pretty interesting is that the blisters on the bottom weren't nearly as bad as they were the last time I hauled. They were actually only slightly noticeable, and it's possible that they even sort of "dried up" a little. The last time I hauled, I had just bought the boat, and the bottom was in really bad shape; it may have been in the water for ten years. There was so much stuff on the bottom. I'm not sure if this could have been related to the blisters in some way.

Council passes resolution according in-principle approval
The latest in the series of measures the Coimbatore Corporation has taken to address issues related to waste management is a waste-to-energy plant.
The Corporation, by way of a Council resolution, has an in-principle approval to establish a plant at its old dump yard in Kavundampalayam.
The Council resolution, passed at the April 25 meeting, said that on a trial basis the Corporation would establish the plant in Kavundampalayam, where the Corporation had proposed to shift the MGR Wholesale Vegetable Market.
The decision to establish the plant followed a direction from the Commissioner for Municipal Administration, who citing the initiatives taken at Arcot Municipality, had said that municipalities and municipal corporation could go in for plants with capacity to process three metric tonne, five metric tonne or 10 metric tonne capacity waste.
The local bodies could use the power generated to power its street lights and thereby save on electricity charges.
The Commissioner had also said that in Arcot, the local body collected waste from vegetable markets, restaurants, lodges, hospitals, abattoirs, fish, meat and poultry shops and other places and used the same in bio-gas plants, where using the bio-methanation process, as many as 280 units of power were generated.
The resolution said that the Corporation could use a similar approach to gather degradable, wet waste from markets, restaurants, wedding halls, and other places to generate power.
It could do so at the T.K. Market, Anna Market or MGR Market. The plant size could vary depending on the waste gathered.
Sources in the Corporation said that the reason behind choosing Kavundampalayam was keeping in mind the proposal to shift the wholesale market to the old dump yard there. If the bio-gas plant were to be successful, the Corporation could establish similar plants depending on the location.
This would be a decentralised approach and the power generated from such plants could be used at the local level. A rough estimate suggests that the 30 per cent of 800 tonnes or 240 tonnes is the vegetable/ wet/ degradable waste the Corporation collected a day. By doing so, the sources pointed out that the Corporation could also improve its waste management as only dry degradable/ non-degradable would reach the transit stations and then Vellalore, where the contractor in charge of executing the solid waste management programme would find it easy to process the waste.
The sources said that a 10 tonne bio-gas plant could cost around Rs. 1.50 crore.

Clutch Group's Michael Sugrue Leads Panel on Managing Patent Litigation at EDI's Inaugural Consortium on Litigation, Information Law & E-Discovery
The 3-city live conference and telepresence event produced by EDI and Thomson Reuters was held in New York, Chicago and San Jose and brought together over 200 leading experts in law and technology for an exclusive cross-continental discussion.
Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) May 02, 2013
Clutch Group, a leading firm dedicated to delivering the professional services for law, is pleased to announce that Michael Sugrue, the Company´s Vice President of Legal and Compliance Solutions, participated and moderated a panel discussing "Intellectual Property: Patent Evolution" at the Consortium on Litigation, Information Law & E-Discovery organized by EDI and Thomson Reuters. The consortium took place yesterday and, for the first time, was broadcast simultaneously in New York, Chicago and San Jose giving participants in all three cities the opportunity to engage in a national conversation on emerging trends and forces shaping the legal industry.
"EDI was proud to organize and take part in this Consortium as we pride ourselves in pioneering the study of the intersection of law and technology," said Barbara Hanahan, EDI's Director of Communication. "Nothing is more appropriate for us than using a cutting-edge delivery method to bring subject-matter experts, like Clutch Group, together."
In addition to Mr. Sugrue, the other thought leaders on this three-city telepresence session included: Jon Newcomb, Assistant General Counsel & Chief eDiscovery Counsel, Comcast Cable; Mark Reardon, Litigation Counsel, The Boeing Company; Sriranga Veeraraghavan, Senior Director, Patent Litigation, Tessera; Brad Waugh, Sr. Litigation Attorney, Intel Corp.; and Amr Aly, Partner, Mayer Brown. The topics discussed included: the unique challenges when it comes to controlling costs in IP/Patent Litigation; how to avoid and mitigate eDiscovery difficulties when dealing with NPEs/Patent Trolls; pre-case assessment to effectively manage IP litigation; and successes and failures in using Technology Assisted Review (TAR) in IP litigation.
"Patent litigation is a time-consuming and expensive process, and the discovery process drives a significant portion of that burden. However, discovery related costs and difficulties are not inevitable," said Sugrue. "My fellow colleagues and I were delighted to have been able to shed light on key strategies in-house counsel can employ in order to drive value and efficiency when litigating a patent suit."

Thread: Intuos Tablets
July 4th, 2006 #1
Intuos Tablets
OK So I don't know if I can ask another question so soon, but here goes.
I have a second hand Wacom Intuos A4 Graphic Tablet that I am learning with. If I can afford it should I upgrade to a new Intuos 3 Tablet and will I see some differences and also if I do upgrade, should I get an A5 or A4 size one.
I would love some advice from anyone with experience.
thanks so muchI need to be able to do this.

Well, I have an older Intuos at home, but use an Intuos 3 all day at work and I love it! Those programmable buttons were a fantastic idea and I use them often. Helps you to keep your hands more often then not around the tablet itself rather then bouncing back and forth to the keyboard.
I highly recommend it. As far as a size? Well, just go as big as you can, bigger is better with this type of thing in my opinion. I have a 6x8 and have made out fine, but I would go at least 9x12 now if I was going to purchase another.
Hope this helps!

By getting a new intuos A3, you will not see any difference in your drawing of lines (smoother, more confident) or rendering of shade/colors, if you are still learning.
July 5th, 2006 #4
I don't know which size you use.
If it's a very small board, then maybe I would upgrade to a bigger one.
But bigger doesn't have to better, cause I know some people, who like to work on a A5 board rather than a A4 or bigger.
Cause the boards have the same resolution, the max resolution is spreaded wider on the bigger boards, which may allow you to work more selective.
The question of Intuous 1,2 or 3:
Hmmm, I work now for about 8 years on my Wacom A4 regular Intuous1.
And I'am contented!
You might have a look at my work, it's all high res about 50x70cm/300dpi, don't believe with a n Intuous3 it'd be exacter!
I don't know a reason for changing, as long the board is okay.
And I don't like those fat pens on the Wacom 2 and 3 boards!
By the way, also the Wacom1 has programmable Buttons!
I never used them! Using the keyboard with configured key functions is much faster!
But one last thing:
If you decide to buy a new board, then I wouldn't try to save the money on a smaller board.
I think a Wacom is a buy for a lifetime, means you will keep it for years, as I use my own now for a very long time!
meet me on:
July 5th, 2006 #5
It sounds like everyone is saying there is no real need to upgrade to the Intuos 3, the differences are nice to have but not essential. My Intuos 1 is A4 size but is serial connection and sometimes I have to reboot my PC if it stops working, which my friend said i wouldn't have to do if it was USB. So for now I will keep learning with it until father christmas buys me the Intious 3 board.
Thank you for all the good replies
I need to be able to do this.

I have the Intuous 2 12X18 drawing tablet it is great. I love the size and feel.
my first tablet was a Aiptek HyperPen 6000u. it was very small and was not as good as the Wacom and I still have it.
I say go with what tablet fits you needs as an artist. I like to have a large drawing area and to g out a draw in public(coffe shops and book stores) yes it is hard to go out with a large tablet as the 12X18 isn't something you can put in a back pack but i picked up a nice art portfolio that the wacom fits in good and i can take my laptop and tablet out and just go draw.
I thought of getting smaller tablet but it would be like drawing a napken after painting on a wall..
I find the Intuous 2 12X18 great to work with and not sure if I'll got to a Intuous 3 as they seem not have a 12X18 in the verson on the wacoms.
I love to get one of the Cintiq's they rock for idea drawing. the new one 21.3"
screen you draw on read here:
that would be just awsome to own.
I got my tablet after few days searching on line for around $700 but that was about year or so ago. so price should be better.
will have to sell a lot of work to get one..

Zimbabwe first Celebratied independence day in 1980 and ever since it has been quite an important cellebration.

The 3 Main Celebrations would seem to be

Fun Facts About the Great Country of Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is relatively young, as far countries go. It has only been a nation since 1980. However, its history goes back thousands of years. As a nation full of natural riches,… literally, it has spent many decades in the spotlight as a controversial center of trade. Only recently has the country emerged from past shadows to begin shining as an African gem.

The third language, Ndebele, is also a Bantu language that evolved from the Zulu tribe, which also originated in what is modern day South Africa.This is where the name Zimbabwe is derived from. It's a Shona term that means "houses of stone" and refers to the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, the onetime capital of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe. The original structure was constructed between the 11th and 14th centuries. The ruins are now an UNESCO world heritage site.If you're a fan of jewelry, you have a lot to love about Zimbabwe.

However, there is only so much room in an article, and there are many more fascinating things to learn about Zimbabwe.Zimbabwe is also home to Victoria Falls, which is sometimes called Mosi-oa-Tunya, which means the "smoke that thunders" in the Tonga language.

Celebrities Who Get Around The Most
Celebrities make tabloid news for their new love interest, but what celebrities have been generating the most buzz? The following celebrities have either admitted or been rum…ored to get the most action. He has reportedly been with over one thousand women and how can we contest that? In 1953 he started Playboy magazine and has since been building an empire. Constantly surrounded by physically altered blondes, it is no surprise that Hugh is still going strong at 87 years old. Charlie Sheen is willing to pay for his women. Since he has taken rejection out of the equation, he is getting around whenever he wants to. By his own reports he has slept with over 5000 women. At 47 years old this seems ridiculous, but even if that number is wrong, it is surely still an astounding amount of women.Lil Wayne is kind of a romantic, he wants to keep his number secret and he keeps track of all the women he's been with. However, he has had a five-some, so we think he has earned a place on this list. To his credit, he is STI free though and that's an accomplishment with his reputation. While Taylor cannot boast the same numbers as the rest of the people on this list, she definitely gets around. She is an infamous serial dater. Although there are rumors that she is a virgin, all that we can go on is the amount of men is she seen dating. There is not a confirmed number but in the past few years she has dated approximately 10-20 men. Rihanna gets around and she is proud of it. She sets a good example for women, that what people say about you doesn't need to be important. She has been with some music industry stars including Chris Brown and Drake. Rihanna's sultry instagram pictures reinforce her overt sexuality. Minka Kelly, Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry, the list goes on. John Mayer is one lucky man and has no qualms telling the world about it. Known for being one to kiss and tell we know that John Mayer has had no shortage of women. Being known for one-night stands was enough to land Jeter on this list. His list of famous celebrity women he has dated reinforces his promiscuity. He is also known for giving herpes for Jessica Alba. More notably, he is known for being a star on the Yankees baseball team. If you sleep with him, rumor is he gives gift baskets containing a signed Derek Jeter ball (street value approximately $500.)He has reported sleeping with over 120 women. This is one reported number that we actually believe. Tiger Woods used to be known for his golf prowess but in 2010 his multiple affairs came to light. Now Woods is known these scandals and, after divorcing his wife, has started dating Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn. Two people on this list actually dated each other. John Mayer and Taylor Swift dated briefly and she wrote Dear John about him. With men they usually say divide whatever number they tell you by three. In the case of the men on this list though, that is still a lot. The celebrities on this list entertain us time and again with their dating antics, as long as they're being safe and respectful they should keep doing what they do. (MORE)

PSON Presents Master ClassFebruary 19, 2013 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM5th Street Campus, Room 209
Event Details
The definition of a "master class" centers on an advanced class taught by someone who is an expert in a specific field. Typically, master classes are held for areas within the visual and performing arts. The PSON recognizes that nursing is not only a science, but is also that of an art. Nursing students have the opportunity paint the canvas of their educational journey with broad strokes through various classroom and clinical experiences. The Master Class series seeks to supplement the creation of their self-portrait of a nurse in a way they have not yet experienced.
Through an unprecedented series of sit-down sessions with faculty, PSON students can expect to learn about various aspects within the scope of nursing. Experts in multiple fields will bring their real life experiences to the table in candid and honest conversations about what to expect as a professional in nursing. There is something to be learned from everyone's story and no one has better lessons to teach than nursing faculty. We hope you will join us as Jolene Correll discusses her journey in the profession with a focus on her time spent as a travel nurse. The session is for Queens students only and will be held in Room 209 at the 5th Street Campus.
